Next time your Angeleno friend complains about NYC's fish taco scene, shut him up with a visit to this place. Tom Wilson and Eugene Ashe, formerly of Mas (farmhouse) opened this Cali-Mex specialty shop with the goal of recreating the taco shacks found along the PCH. It appears that, aside from the view, they have succeeded. Their baja fish taco rivals those found in Malibu, with tempura-battered Mahi Mahi cradled in a soft corn tortilla with cabbage and avocado slaw, pico de gallo, and cotija cheese.
Technically, suadero is a cut from the drop loin of a cow, a flap of striated muscle that runs close to the navel, similar to brisket. Butcher jargon aside, all you need to know is that it's the must-order at this small Bushwick taqueria. The meat is extremely tender (with just the right amount of fat) and arrives inside a tiny, warm corn tortilla. You'll need to order multiple to feel full, but with many tacos hovering around $2, it's hardly an issue.
Chef Jason DeBriere (formerly of Peels) draws inspiration from the Gulf of Mexico, and crafts Yucatán specialties with aplomb. His kitchen also turns out some serious tacos. The Mayan seared fish tikin xic-style is a necessary pick. Briny fish (not your average Mahi Mahi) is marinated in achiote, chiles, and spices, and served sans-salsa -- which it doesn't need, anyway.
The specialty at Alex Stupak's East Village taqueria is -- you guessed it -- al pastor. Thin strips of marinated pork shoulder pivot around a rotisserie like tourists on a subway pole. That crisp yet tender meat gets sliced off and placed on a house-made tortilla with slivers of pineapple, before getting topped with red and green salsa, cilantro, and onion. To wash it down, there's a broad list of beers and agave-based beverages including excellent micheladas and margaritas.
If you've never had a taco before, welcome to planet Earth, and please enjoy our world's finest fare at Taqueria. This is the platonic ideal taco spot for first taco timers and longtime fans. It offers all the classic fillings like ground beef, steak, pork and fish, and peddles a few entry-level adventure options like pork stomach and beef head. The best selection, however, is the barbacoa. Lean lamb drips in oil and disappears in three clean bites.

Sunday, April 29, 2007, 00:00 by Canon Joseph Grech Cremona, Floriana.
Vincenzo Labini, an Italian Theatine priest, become Bishop of Malta in 1780. He was an intimate friend of St Alphonse Mary de' Liguori, Bishop of St Agata dei Goti, and founder of the Redemptorists.
It was during his episcopate that the Cathedral Church of Malta was elevated to the Archiepiscopal dignity, since our Bishops became "Archbishops of Rhodes, and Bishops of Malta".
Mgr Labini consecrated many of our churches, transferred the procession of St Gregory from March 12 to the Wednesday after Easter, ordered daily Sacramental Benediction in all parish churches, and that bells must be rung every Thursday, an hour after sunset, in memory of the institution of the Eucharist.
After leading the diocese under the Knights, the French and the British for 27 years, Archbishop Labini died on April 30, 1807 - 200 years ago - and lies buried in the Cathedral at Mdina.

Indonesia hit by new IS-claimed attack
PEKANBARU, Indonesia: Onlookers take pictures as police examine the bodies of two attackers after they launched an attack on the police headquarters yesterday. — AFP
Four samurai sword-wielding attackers shot dead
PEKANBARU, Indonesia: Four men who attacked an Indonesian police headquarters with samurai swords were shot dead yesterday and one officer also died, authorities said, days after a wave of deadly suicide bombings claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group rocked the country. The assault in the city of Pekanbaru on Sumatra island – also claimed by IS – saw a group ram their minivan into a gate at the station and then attack officers, police said. Days earlier, two families who belonged to the same religious study group staged suicide bombings at churches and a police station in Surabaya on Java island, Indonesia's second biggest city.
The attacks have put Indonesia on edge – and sparked a string of foreign government travel advisories – as the world's biggest Muslim-majority country starts the holy fasting month of Ramadan from today. Four attackers were shot dead at the scene yesterday and another suspect who fled was later arrested, police said. One officer was killed by the speeding vehicle and two others were wounded in the incident, they added.
Police said the men belonged to a local extremist group, but not Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), which authorities believe was behind the family suicide bombings. Both groups have pledged allegiance to IS, they said. The bloody violence is putting pressure on lawmakers to pass a stalled security law that would give police more power to take pre-emptive action against terror suspects. "I'm outraged and very saddened by these acts carried out by cowards – they have no humanity," said Pebby Magdalena, who joined a demonstration in Jakarta in support of the bill.
Indonesia – which is set to host the Asian Games in just three months and an IMF-World Bank meeting in Bali in October – has long struggled with Islamist militancy. Its worst-ever attack was the 2002 Bali bombings that killed more than 200 people, including locals and foreign tourists.
'Better organized'
Security forces have arrested hundreds of militants during a sustained crackdown since the Bali bombing. Most attacks in recent years have been limited to low-level operations against domestic security forces. But on Sunday, a family of six – including girls aged nine and 12 – staged suicide bombings at three churches during morning services in Surabaya, killing 13. All six bombers died, including the mother who was Indonesia's first known female suicide bomber. It was also the first time children had been used in such attacks.
A memorial service was held yesterday for Vincencius Hudojo, 11, and Nathanael Hudojo, 8, two brothers who died after the blast at the Santa Maria Catholic Church on Sunday in Surabaya. Their mother was injured. Services were also held for Martha Djumani, 54, who was killed in the bombing at a Pentecostal church, just a day after she had got engaged. "My sister was always caring towards other people and taught her children to be compassionate," Daud Samari, Djumani's younger brother, told reporters.
On Monday members of another family blew themselves up at a police station in Surabaya, wounding 10. The church bombing family were in the same religious study group as the Surabaya police station bombers and a third family believed to be linked to the wave of attacks, authorities said. "They had the same teacher and they regularly met for Koran recital every week," said East Java police chief Machfud Arifin.
The coordinated church attack was a sign local extremist groups are becoming more proficient, and it stirs concerns about an uptick in radicalism as hundreds of Indonesians who flocked to fight alongside IS in the Middle East return home. "They were better organised… (it) suggests a higher level of capacity than what we have seen in recent years," said Sidney Jones, director of Jakarta-based Institute of Policy Analysis of Conflict.
Dozens of suspects have been rounded up in raids since Sunday's attacks, while several militants, including the number two ranking leader of the Surabaya JAD chapter, had been shot and killed, police said. The church and earlier police station attacks were likely motivated by the arrest of JAD leaders, authorities said. They followed a deadly prison riot staged by Islamist prisoners at a high-security jail near Jakarta last week. – AFP

The Perfect Southern Namibia Self Drive Itinerary
August 10, 2020 August 8, 2019 by Cameron
We drove into Southern Namibia from South Africa and were greeted by looming rock formations and empty roads. The path before us wound through an arid canyon and came up to a plateau, and the perfect Southern Namibia self-drive itinerary laid ahead. As we ascended out of the canyon the sun began to set.
The change in weather created gusts of fiery red sand, that lit on fire from the descending sun. This all came within our first hour in the country. We had yet to make it to a single site on our journey, but we had already come to our conclusion. Namibia is entrancing.
Weather in Namibia is not pleasant nor is there much green. However, the landscapes and wildlife are spectacular. Breathtaking and stunning are not terms used loosely here, because the landscapes are just that.
Our first trip with our new car begins in Southern Namibia, which can roughly be divided by the tropic of Capricorn. There are a number of places to visit in the south of the country. Granted it is the least sparse region of Namibia, and it is not your standard place of beauty.
Unless dry, hot, dusty, dead, weathered, rocky, or sandy are your ideal adjectives when looking for your next holiday. If you want to sit on a beach and drink pina colada's Namibia won't be your cup of tea. Namibia is a country that reminds you that the earth does not revolve around you. You're small in Namibia. And we like it that way.

Plan and Pack For Namibia?
Our first stop in Namibia was a deep gouge out of the earth that could swallow cities whole. Fish River Canyon was the result of the separation of the Gondwana supercontinent. An event that shaped much of the landscapes of Southern Africa today. We arrived in this area at the start of a new moon after driving all day from Cape Town. By the time we turned on the road for the canyon it was dark.

A Namibian night during the new moon is pure darkness. There are no street lights, paved roads, or houses. We drove down a sand road and could not distinguish any characteristics of the landscape. When I stopped to let air out of our tires for the road the light from my flashlight was swallowed whole by the black.
Now imagine a pitch black night on this Namibian road!
After twelve hours of being on the road, we pulled into the most fitting place imaginable, The Canyon Roadhouse. A new lodge that embodies all of the aspects of an old roadhouse. The Canyon Roadhouse is also one of the best places to fill up on petrol or diesel close to the canyon. When you're traveling through Africa being strategic on when and where you fill you tank up is crucial.
So, we made good use of their petrol station. While we stayed at the Roadhouse we had a comfy room, hot shower, A/C, and good food with all the charm. Old cars littered across the car park and license plates adorning the walls are touches that stood out. The roadhouse made for a great first stopover to explore the Canyon.

The next day we moved camp and went to Gondwana Collection's Canyon Village. The lodge was set up in the form of a small village lost in the desert. Turning off the main road you wind 3km down a sandy track before arriving at the main lodge a low stone building with a massive thatched roof. We arrived early in the day eager to explore the area. After checking in we wasted no time and took advantage of the cloud coverage before the sun was in full swing.
Overlooking Gondwana's Fish River Canyon Village
Weather in Namibia is no joke. Temperatures in Namibia during the summer can easily reach 45C. So, unlike other parts of the world, a little bit of cloud coverage and a breeze is a very good thing. With that in mind, we set out for a bushwalk up the neighboring mountain. The walk provided stunning views of the landscape and gave us a chance to get active, something we needed after all the driving.
We came to a small nature blind which provided shade, as the sun was starting to peak out, and offered a great vantage point. After sitting a moment, we spotted oryx, zebra, and springbok all in the Gondwana Nature Reserve. The reserve is 127,000 hectares and was returned to nature by Gondwana.
Not wanting to let the opportunity pass us we began our descent down the small mountain in order to grab some photos. The wildlife within the Gondwana Reserve and the surroundings take some work to find, but against all odds, it exists and in variety.
The rest of the evening was spent relaxing poolside. It's pretty much the best way to take in an area. Sitting down with a good book, Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances, and the pool was the perfect way to take in the tranquility of the region while escaping the heat with some company in the form of dassies.
The next day was the day for us and we set out for the Fish River Canyon edge. Late October in Namibia was hot as temperatures soared close to 40C. We initially made our way to the Canyon late morning, and it was too stinking hot so we agreed to make our way back to the pool. We made our way back to the Canyon around 17:00 with some cold Windhoek lagers in hand. The two notable beer brands in Namibia are Windhoek and Tafel.
Sunset over the canyon is breathtaking. It's the sort of view you drive hours out of your way to take in with some cold beers, and that's just what we did. However, the region proved to be much more interesting than we had hoped for. With our Windhoeks and the sun gone, we made our way back to the Canyon Village for a delicious meal. Something about the hot sun makes us very hungry.
Book A Stay at Gondwana Canyon Village
Fish River Canyon is the largest canyon in Africa. It is around 160 km long and 27km across while the canyon cliffs descend to almost 550m at points. The formation of the canyon dates back to around 650 million years ago and began forming during the movement of tectonic plates as the supercontinent Gondwana split.
Over these hundreds of millions of years Fish River, and at points, glaciers have slowly worn away at the once-solid plateau creating a mesmerizing canyon. Visitors can hike the trail in the winter months from May – September; however, during the summer months, the risk of flash flooding prevents hikers from tackling the 88km challenge.
The NWR does offer camping at the gate, but we checked out the campsite on our way in and would not recommend staying there by any means (little shade and very dusty). The Gondwana Collection offers a campsite at their Canyon Roadhouse (Canyon Road Campsite) and Ais-Ais Resort offers camping to the south of canyon with thermal hot springs.
Please note that although Fish River Canyon is a very popular stop for those touring Namibia it is remote and in a desert. Water scarcity, heat, bad roads, and sand storms are all real threats here. Always travel with enough water and be aware of what you are getting into. We have heard stories of travelers treating Namibia as if they were hitchhiking around Europe. Do not be one of them.

Namibia can be perplexing. It is a former German colony and the influence is still felt today. Many Namibians speak German and towns like Luderitz and Swakopmund still bear the mark of German architecture. These German homes are sandwiched between a cold ocean and towering sand dunes. The chilly waters produce strong winds that beat gutters made for the snow with thick desert sands. It feels like a post-apocalyptic world, little wonder why George Miller shot Mad Max Fury Road in Namibia.
Looks like a photo from 1905 if not for our car!
Decay in desert environments is, if not nonexistent, extremely slow. It feels as if the Namibian coast is stuck in time and trapped in this waterless environment.
One doesn't have to think hard about where the whole coasts former name, The Skeleton Coast, comes from. The Namibian coast feels like a testament to life on our planet, despite the odds it is teeming. We found thousands of flamingos, pelicans, seals, a few whales, and even a colony of penguins.
Exploring more of Luderitz involves venturing south from the town out to see the Luderitz peninsula. We drove roughly 30km out of town and around to Diego's Point. The point is where the explorer Diogo Cão first landed on his way down the coast before claiming Mozambique in the name of Portugal.
The point may be one of the strangest places we have ever been because of its complete emptiness and eerieness. The cold waters whipped strong gusts of winds while the waves pounded against a rocky shore. We could see massive sand dunes in the distance and an island of fur seals just off shore.
Our true reasoning for traveling to Luderitz was not for the coast. Ten kilometers from Luderitz in the desert is where you can find the abandoned German mining town, called Kolmanskop.
The abandoned diamond mining town of Kolmanskop was once a thriving place despite being in the middle of the Namib desert. In the early 1900's a German railway worker found a diamond lying on the ground and the rest is history. A town was quickly set up and grew in size. At it's peak the mining town had a hospital, ballroom, bowling alley, theater, school, power station, ice factory, a trolley system, and a sports hall with 400 Germans and 800 Owambo contract workers.
They went to all sorts of lengths to prevent diamond theft. There are stories of making workers drink castor oil and do a stint in the infirmary ward at the end of their contract to ensure they were totally clean of any merchandise.
Today, the ghost town still stands in the sand dunes of the Namib Desert. In the 1980s the DeBeer mining company decided to turn the former town into a museum. The only threat to the towns now are the encroaching sand dunes.
The museum offers a free tour, but we suggest giving it a pass.The tours are informative, but as Namibia continues to experience a tourist boom the groups number close to 50 in what was formerly the off-season. If possible do some reading on the town here, and then go to Kolmanskop yourself. You no longer need to pre-arrange a tour or permits for your visit to Kolmanskop. We arrived 10 minutes before the tour and had no problem. (Don't pay for a photography permit they do not check.)
Kolmanskop Permit Cost: N$75.00 per adult
This stop won't appear in most tourists Namibian itinerary, but it makes for a wonderful stop. Aus is a small town with very little except for two campsites, a lodge, petrol station, restaurant, and a hotel. It lies along one of the few major roads in Namibia, the B4. The road is largely flat and desert, but as one approaches Aus the mountains rise up out of the desert. Here you'll find stunning red rock sunsets and a rare group of horses.
Our true reasoning for venturing here was in search of the feral horses. This proved to be much more work than we initially thought. The corrugated roads of Namibia had put our Land Cruiser's radiator in a bad place. Several years of no love and the radiator was full of sediment.
Meaning that when we made the desert hill climb up to Aus with the wind on our back and five people in the truck we started to overheat in a bad way. With the heat running and us baking like hams in the oven we got lucky and spotted the horses out of our window thanks to Ben a fellow traveler, with his own blog.
We turned off the highway and down the dirt roads to the watering hole where the feral horses were waiting. No one is certain of where these wild desert horses originated from, but they now number close 150. The horses have adapted to their desert environment and are said to able to go five days with little to no water.
We parked at a distance from them, but they quickly approached out of curiosity. Within minutes we found ourselves surrounded by the wild horses who found Charlie, our Land Cruiser, quite interesting. The horses are beautiful, but in many ways do feel like regular domesticated horses. You can observe more wild behavior as the horses play (and even fight) with each other.
We set up camp at Gondwana's Klein Aus Vista campsite. The campsite costs N$160 per person. The campsite much like their lodges is well run and had spaced campsites with shade, fire pits, showers, and toilets. Watching the sun descend over Aus mountains makes for the perfect sundowner location. The next morning we broke camp and headed towards Mariental and the famous Kalahari Desert.
The Kalahari is a massive swath of desert land in Southern Africa and occupies much of Namibia and Botswana. Here rust-colored sand stains the earth and vegetation dots the horizon making for a gorgeously colored landscape. As beautiful it may be in the evening, it can become unbearably hot during midday.
Temperatures in the Kalahari can reach 50C and the midday sun turns everything into a bleak barren looking wasteland. The landscape here is grand in scale. A short walk through leaves you wondering how it can go on for thousands of kilometers. It is a landscape that leaves its mark on the earth from space. Sand storms here reach up into the earth's atmosphere and can affect global weather patterns.
The Tswana refer to the Kalahari as the Kgalagadi: Land of Thirst. It most certainly is. The massive stretch of earth stretches across eight countries and sunsets here are mesmerizing and demand the travelers' attention. The morning and evening light pulls out great contrasts as the red iron sand compliments acacia trees. By some accounts, the volume of sand in the Kalahari makes it the largest desert in the world, but that doesn't mean you'll find large sand dunes here. Instead, it is endless plain of deep red sand.
On a smaller scale, life does exist! The horizon can be dotted by a family of meerkats standing at attention. While hundreds of species of birds fly through the sky, not including the flightless ostrich. Not to mention one of our favorite African birds – the weaver. The desert is also home to numerous large mammals such as oryx, springbok, zebras, and jackals.
Our journey into the Kalahari began 25km from Mariental. The Gondwana Collection's Kalahari Anib and Farmhouse were set as our bases to explore the legendary stretch of desert. It was a long travel day for us and we made our way to Mariental from Aus after spotting the feral horses in a mountain desert.
Our struggle with Charlie continued as traveling through the scorching hot Namibian sun caused him to continue overheating. More of the windows down and heat on drill, NOT FUN!
However, turning into Gondwana's Kalahari Park for the first time and we knew we'd made a good decision regarding our itinerary in Southern Namibia. A short check in and explanation later we were sitting on our private deck and enjoying some gin and tonics while watching the breathtaking sunset.
The park houses both the Kalahari Campsite and Kalahari Anib Lodge. We stayed in the Anib Lodge, but their campsites are also a wonderful option for those looking to be more in tune with nature or on a budget. Dinner on the back deck of the Anib lodge was buffet style and both delicious and relaxing. Nights in the African bush have this quality to them you can't find back in any city.
We were nearly run over by a springbok on our walk back to our room as he pronged right up over our heads after we gave him/her a fright. After retiring to our room we woke up to a herd of eland at the watering hole outside of our bedroom window.
Nineteen rooms at the Anib Lodge face out to the Kalahari Game Park and a watering hole frequented by the wild game. There seemed to be a revolving door of animals at all times of the day, and night. The park is filled with lots of wild game and makes for a wonderful introduction to the Kalahari.

An interesting facet of the Kalahari is that it is not as dry as it seems. One of the largest subterranean aquifers in the world exists here. So large that despite being in a desert there are places where the water is pushed up out of the ground. One of the natural aquifers is in Stampriet just another 25km down the road from the Anib lodge.
This is the farm or the self-sufficiency center for the entire Gondwana Collection where they grow much of produce used in their lodges. The water on the farm is actually a natural spring and is some of the cleanest water due to the natural filtration process from the Kalahari sands.
The lodge at Stampriet is called The Kalahari Farmhouse. Each room is rustic and modeled after a miniature farmhouse. We loved the touches here like the old school farmhouse doors. What made it all the more incredible is that it is more or less a hidden oasis in the middle of the Kalahari Desert. It's like an escape from Namibia, within Namibia.
Here there is a lovely garden, green grass, large trees stuff you will not find anywhere else in Southern Namibia. Tasha also made full use of the pool during the midday Namibian heat.
Mariental and Stampriet make for those looking to get a taste of the Kalahari; however, for those looking to truly get into the bush then the lodges/campsites make for a great stopover en route to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. The park is located in Botswana and South Africa. The park is home to some of Africa's greatest wildlife. Here you can find migrating herd of wildebeest and eland. While large predators like lions and cheetahs roam free.
The red sands within the park stretch on forever. The experience we received was a good taste of the Kalahari, but the real thing lies within this park where it is truly wild. 4×4 tracks lead deep into the wilderness through thick red sand offering a true adventure for those brave enough, or crazy enough. You can read more about the park here.
After the Kalahari, we spent a week exploring the Namib desert on a more intimate scale before we headed for the world-famous Sossusvlei. If there is one place you have seen of Namibia in photos it is Sossusvlei, and rightfully so. The famous location is in reference to a small arid clay pan that is surrounded by the Namib Desert and the highest sand dunes on earth. This section of the desert is home to some of the countries largest sand dunes and they're are by all accounts grand in scale. The location also happens to be one of the most popular tourist attractions in all of Namibia.

We arrived at the Seriesm Campsite in Sossusvlei with no reservations and were relegated to the overflow campsite. This campsite turned out to be less than stellar and we would not recommend staying here (at least in the overflow). The campsite is a parking lot in the Namib Desert at the foot of the largest sand dunes in the world. Suffice to say it was not a pleasant camping experience…but we stayed because…
The early morning light! Yes, we stayed in what will likely be one of our least enjoyable campsites on this whole trip so we could get up at 4:30 a.m. Yay! The big thing with the Sossusvlei area is to see the sun rise over the dunes which are an incredible sight to see. Before the sun rose we packed up camp and hightailed it into the desert.
The majority of visitors make it to the gate as they open up at 5:15 a.m. and make a mad dash for Sossusvlei or Dune 45. Dune 45 is one of the tallest dunes within the park. The main draw is its accessibility. The dune is 45km from the main gate, hence its name. The road to the dune is paved and it has a parking lot at its base. If timed properly it is possible to drive to and climb the dune to watch the sun come up over the Namib desert. You must see the sunrise over the desert at least once in your life.

We chose to opt-out of climbing the dune with the other tourists this time. Instead, we found a dune all to ourselves deep in the national park. When the sun crests over 300m high piles of sand set the skylights on fire. The dunes go from flat color to a deep red while the shadows cast from theses giants take on the shapes of living creatures on a monstrous scale.
Sossusvlei Park Prices
Park Fee: N$30 Namibian, N$60 SADC Resident, N$80 International
Sesriem Campsite: N$200 Per Person
We left Southern Namibia as we crossed the Tropic of Capricorn on our journey closer to the Equator in Uganda. For the next few days we'll spend our time soaking up the odd colonial vibes in the cities of Swakopmund and Walvis Bay on the eerie coast of Namibia. Old German homes, flamingos, and a massive seal colony await.
Namibia is, by all means, a country of the desert. This is only detailing the first half of our journey through the nation. Stay tuned for our trip through Northern Namibia!
Currency: The Namibian Dollar, equivalent to the South African Rand
Borders are easy to cross between South Africa and Botswana.
Self-Driving Southern Namibia is the most popular way of getting around. Distances are great and petrol stations are scarce so buy a map and plan accordingly. We were able to pay with credit card for gas at almost all gas stations.
Most roads around the country are in very good condition, however, expect corrugation and some bumpy rides.
Visitors will be able to get by just fine with English in Namibia
We experienced no bribes, hassles, or police corruption in the country during our month in the country.
We felt very safe traveling in Namibia. We did not go to Windhoek as we felt we didn't need to see another big city.
MTC and TN Mobile are the two main cell phone providers in the country. We received a promotion for 1.3 GB of data for $N40 for one week with TN Mobile Jiva Surfer. Cell phone service was only available in towns and cities.

Wolwedans Dune Lodge
Wolwedans Dunes Lodge features ten chalets mostly constructed out of wood instead of canvas tents. Each room opens up to the east, offering incredible views of the sunrise every morning. We slept with the canvas tents rolled up and could gaze at the stars all night. We felt at one with nature while still having an extremely comfortable sleep.
Wolwedans Dunes Lodge has a massive pool attached to the pharmacy (or the "bar") and continues to spill into one grand lobby area. This is where Cameron and I spent most of our day – basking in the intense Namibian sun surrounded by cool water and a good book.

Chobe Water Villas sits on the wildlife-filled Chobe River. It's also the most modern accommodation we have seen in Africa. Walking into the main area transports you into a varying array of time zones and locations. The interior was decorated in chic white and gray décor and stark shapes.
Exploring the architecture and decoration of the hotel leads to sources of inspiration from around Namibia. From the skeleton of a whale, to the seasonal rains that bring life.

Loans that are granted by banks and with lower interest rates with the help of the Lebanese Central Bank. These loans usually cover up to 75 percent of the property value for Lebanese residents and 60 percent for expatriates with limited loan amount.
Different housing loan packages offered by each bank. The criteria and conditions of such loans are very different from one bank to another.
A borrower must have a steady job and a salary that justifies the amount of the loan. Applicants need to provide a copy of their ID, a detailed salary statement, length of employment, type of work, net salary, and a declaration of all financial commitments. Salary and job details need to be confirmed by the employer on company stationery. Some banks will include a proportion of the spouse's earnings to determine whether the household income is high enough to justify a loan. The lenders will almost certainly require domiciliation of salary. Some lenders may require a guarantor.
When repayment takes place through notes, stamp fees are applicable and amount to 0.15 percent of the value of each note (i.e., the stamp cost on a $1,000 note is $1.5).
A property valuation expert puts a price on the home so the bank has an independent estimate of what it is worth. These flat fees fall in the $100 to $500 range. This fee is paid before the loan is finalized.
Mortgage fees are government charges for registering the loan, giving the bank legal rights to prevent the sale of the house until the mortgage is fully repaid. The fees are calculated at two percent of the mortgaged amount, including fiscal stamps. The total for a $150,000 loan mortgaged at 120 percent would be $3,600.
Both life and property insurance are required when taking out a housing loan.


A couple of days ago Emirates saved the A380 from extinction, as they placed an order for up to 36 A380s, including 20 firm orders and 16 options. The deal is worth $16 billion at list prices, though presumably Emirates got a much better deal than that.
This was really the lifeline that the A380 program needed. That's because for years we've been hearing rumors that Airbus will be ending production of the A380. I most recently wrote about this just a few weeks ago, as the plane hasn't worked out quite the way Airbus was hoping.
While Emirates already has over 100 of these planes in their fleet and loves them, other airlines haven't been as impressed, and we've seen very few additional orders. Airbus was approaching the point where they had to shut down production if they didn't see more orders for the plane, so Emirates decided to keep the program alive.
There's no doubt this was a tough decision for them. On one hand, they'd hate to see A380 production discontinued, given that they have over 100 of these planes in their fleet, and they'd quickly become obsolete if that happened. On the other hand, they don't want to keep investing in a plane that they're exclusively keeping alive.
Interestingly John Leahy, Airbus' Chief Operating Officer (who is retiring soon), said that he's "personally convinced more orders will follow Emirates' example and that this great aircraft will be built well into the 2030s." I can understand why someone in his position would want to be optimistic, though I was wondering if he actually believed that.
John Leahy said in an interview on Friday that he was confident that Airbus would get one more A380 order this year, which seems fairly specific. I suspect this is what he was referring to.
What's interesting is that there had been rumors of IAG (British Airways' parent company) possibly buying or leasing some used A380s. Willie Walsh has even indicated that he could see some use for the A380 with Aer Lingus or Iberia.
Singapore Airlines is in the process of retiring the first five A380s they acquired about a decade ago. However, according to this story, British Airways has concluded that they'd be buying new A380s, as refurbishing used A380s would be too expensive.
That might seem counterintuitive, though perhaps it's not totally outlandish. Not only can planes be expensive to reconfigure, but keep in mind that the first A380s built are also heavier and don't have the same operating performance as new A380s, which is partly why Singapore Airlines decided to retire them. So I can see why they'd be avoiding these.
I'll be curious to see if a British Airways A380 order comes to fruition. British Airways is in a unique position as they're based at Heathrow Airport, which is slot restricted, and they own a large share of the airport's slots. So their only way of growing out of Heathrow is to acquire bigger planes.
However, many argue that adding capacity at Heathrow isn't necessarily in British Airways' best interest. Given that they own the market, they also have control over a large percentage of the supply. If they started decreasing capacity (by using 787s in place of 747s, for example) they could theoretically increase prices, especially in the business market, given that a vast majority of corporate contracts in London are with BA due to their global network. Of course this doesn't account for the impact of ultra low cost carriers like Norwegian flying out of airports like Gatwick. Still, I don't think adding capacity for British Airways is a total no brainer.
I'll be curious to see how this plays out. Who knows, we may even see A380s at Aer Lingus or Iberia!
Do you think British Airways will place an order for new A380s?
I don't think the Aer Lingus speculation will come to fruition… Runway at DUB is too short (8600ft).
Iberia will be interesting, but not sure about economics. MAD is huge with a ton of opportunity for growth into a massive connecting hub if IAG wants.
LHR I can see taking on more A380s since BA doesn't really have a replacement in place for the remaining 744s. I think a mix of 77W and A380 makes the most sense. 77W would be perfect for routes like SAN/AUS/PHX that are currently served by the 744.
If the infrastructure at AMS doesn't change soon enough then KL might find themselves in a spot where the A380 will make sense.
The 380 was essentially designed for LHR. Be damning if BA didn't continue to use the plane.
BA actually at its limit in terms of slots it can own at Heathrow after it bought BMI for extra slots, so by UK law it can't expand by frequency any more. This was put in place to stop a complete monopoly and ensure competition remains at Heathrow. So if BA does want to expand, it would only be able to do so by adding capacity to existing routes which would make sense to order more A380s.
I will bet that they will just go with more A350.
Why wouldn't they consider the 747-8i?
The 747-800 isn't meaningfully cheaper than the A380 (especially if IAG negotiates a good deal), it has a cruise speed essentially the same, it's smaller by about 80 passengers, and it burns almost exactly the same amount of fuel.
The only reason the 747 program is still alive is the cargo version.
If BA is really buying Emirates' J class seat, to keep the same number of seats in its CW cabin it will need more real estate to accommodate what is a less dense layout. J cabins on the main business routes out of LHR are pretty often full at the moment, so they can't reduce capacity without leaving profits on the table.
And as others have said, there are no more LHR slots available to them. They need to get maximum revenue from their monopoly position (and the 3rd runway / additional terminal space looks more likely now, so their competition at LHR will in future increase).
That would be even more expensive since adding diversity to fleet portofolio would mean more resources are needed. Especially if it's only about 5 or 10 fleets extra. Of course that might be different case if they're ordering 50 or 100 more. They'd go better with A380 and 777X.
I wonder how the operating costs of the 747-8I compares with the A380? While A380 makes sense for BA, if they buy at least 10-12, could the 747-8I be competitive, especially if they get a good price on it? With Emirates' new order, Airbus now has enough orders to approximately 2024 or so.
I am rooting for the 747-8I not because it is American but because it is potentially cheap.
@Golfingboy – Dublin is building a second runway with a length over 10,000 feet, which I believe is slated to open in 2020. Will probably be later than that as they were facing some legal hurdles but that is the plan.
Also Emirates was supposed to fly in an a380 for a visit, but has postponed it. I believe a fully loaded a380 minimum runway for takeoff (with room for aborted takeoff) is 9800 feet, so a premium-heavy a380 should be able to use Dublin's existing runway.
I think the real issue with Dublin are the gates, I don't know if any are a380 capable, its a pretty tight squeeze at Terminal 2. Not withstanding the actual plane being able to park, the afternoon departures flood the US preclearance facilities as is with a few a333's, can you imagine adding an a380 to the mix? And what routes could realistically support an a380 demand, even if its a premium heavy config? JFK which is already twice daily? Boston? What about when JetBlue enters the mix as believed? Thats a lot of added capacity.
These rumours in the airline industry seem to be true almost always. Even Emirates order is the same number that was rumoured last year.
I bet that EK waited and got a bloody good deal and BA is riding on that and has probably got a great deal too.
BA hasn't ordered the 777x and once the B747 is retired latest 2024, they'll need bigger capacities on some roots like LA where at times to do 3x daily 747. I'd expect more than additional 7 A380s.
Reportedly, BA management is looking into making it 4-5-4 in economy, but that will be mitigated by their new and improved tacos for everyone policy!
Seriously though, I like seeing them take some risks. Only because it might oust Senor Cruz so he can go back to wherever he came from and this former crown jewel can shine anew.
I completely believe that BA will order more a380s because at present that send their a380s to far too many destinations for their 12 a380s to operate all the time. I expect they will order 12 to 20 a380s in order to increase capacity for example the London Heathrow to Los Angeles route is operated by aircraft as small as the 787-9 and as big as the a380 as well as when the a380 flies to Miami one flight is operated by a 747 instead. I think BA will also use it to fly to other destinations that need more capacity such as New York JFK. If BA does order the a380 they will likely use it to replace the once daily 777-300er flight to Singapore which will then allow them to increase capacity on other routes such as to Tokyo. However I highly doubt that we will see an aer Lingus or Iberia a380 as these airlines do not have anywhere near the passenger numbers or route demand to operate an a380. Finally I can see them operating an 11 abreast configuration in economy and deploying these aircraft on leisure routes such as from Gatwick to Orlando. With this BA could then utilise their densified Gatwick 777 fleet more effectively to combat the increasing pain that is Norwegian. They could also open up more business focused routes from Gatwick such as to New York and also branch out to other airports in the UK such as London Stansted and Manchester.
So this a380 order could not only change the entire make up of the British Airways long haul operations allowing them to increase capacity, improve customer satisfaction, open new routes and compete more effectively against Norwegian and other European airlines. Will BA order more a380s? I believe so. But how they will use these aircraft is what puzzles me most. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
British has always liked their A380s and could use more as they retire the 747s. Additional 380s something that makes sense at slot constrained LHR and is a good match for the BA route network. Don't see them going to Aer Lingus or Iberia but the BA order has a good chance of going through. Maybe there are still a couple of orders from China as well as existing operators that see the plane has its own niche.
Agree with much of that but LHR-JFK doesn't suit an A380 because, on that route, it's all about business flyers and they need frequency. BA's routes there are almost a shuttle and a 777 is perfectly adequate.
Would love to see Aer Lingus get the 380 on Dublin to Boston. Perhaps reducing the frequency of 330 flights to take advantage of the larger plane?
British Airways terminal at JFK cannot handle A380's. Max size aircraft are 748s, A350 1000s or 773ERs. I don't see them bring the A380 to NY.
Surprised that heads of states have not selected the 380 as it is one of only two four engined aircraft in production.
I assume they will need to make additional gates configured for the A380. If they do, let's hope they learn how to do it from other airports. Currently takes about 10 minutes to connect air bridges at LHR compared to about 2 minutes in SFO, LAX and HKG.


I am a BACP Senior Accredited and Registered psychodynamic counsellor/psychotherapist. I offer sessions to individual adults on a weekly basis and work both short and long term. My private practice has been running since 2003 and I offer a safe, consistent space to explore what can often be difficult feelings.
Counselling is a space to talk about whatever is causing you distress or upset; the counsellor is not there to give advice or tell you what to do, but to help you to understand and unravel what is going on. This may be linked to past experiences and patterns of behaviour and with the help of the counsellor, the idea is we can get a better understanding of the problems. I work with many issues and offer a consultation session firstly to explore whether I am the right person to work with you, as the therapeutic relationship is an important part of the work.
I have 20 years clinical experience, with adults, adolescents and children, in a variety of settings, including the NHS, voluntary sector, schools and university. I have also set up and managed counselling services. I currently manage a voluntary sector counselling service.
I also offer supervision, particularly to school counsellors.
I work with most issues including relationships (on an individual, not couples, basis), loss, attachment, identity, depression etc. However, many people are not sure what is troubling them and I work with whatever they bring to sessions; together we try and come to understand what might be going on.
Ongoing Fees: £55 upwards dependant on income(sessions are 50 minutes long). Daytime spaces can be less if appropriate.
My practice is situated 5 minutes from the centre of Crystal Palace and the rail station.
Please check my website for availability..
You are welcome to either ring or email in the first instance - email tends to get a quicker response - but it is useful to speak in any event before meeting for the first time. I will only offer an assessment session if I have spaces and we both feel you are in the right place. The assessment session is an important time to spend exploring what your needs are and whether I am the right person to be working with.
I offer supervision in an integrative/psychodynamic model. I have particular experience of supervising trainees, school counsellors and child and adolescent work.

The Wolf at the Door
The Menace of Economic Insecurity and How to Fight It
Michael J. Graetz
Ian Shapiro
POLITICAL SCIENCE: History & Theory
POLITICAL SCIENCE: Political Economy
POLITICAL SCIENCE: Public Policy: Economic Policy
POLITICAL SCIENCE: Public Policy: Social Policy
The acclaimed authors of Death by a Thousand Cuts argue that Americans care less about inequality than about their own insecurity. Michael Graetz and Ian Shapiro propose realistic policies and strategies to make lives and communities more secure.
This is an age of crisis. That much we can agree on. But a crisis of what? And how do we get out of it? Many on the right call for tax cuts and deregulation. Others on the left rage against the top 1 percent and demand wholesale economic change. Voices on both sides line up against globalization: restrict trade to protect jobs. In The Wolf at the Door, two leading political analysts argue that these views are badly mistaken.
Michael Graetz and Ian Shapiro focus on what really worries people: not what the rich are making but rather their own insecurity and that of people close to them. Americans are concerned about losing what they have, whether jobs, status, or safe communities. They fear the wolf at the door. The solution is not protectionism or class warfare but a return to the hard work of building coalitions around realistic goals and pursuing them doggedly through the political system. This, Graetz and Shapiro explain, is how earlier reformers achieved meaningful changes, from the abolition of the slave trade to civil rights legislation. The authors make substantial recommendations for increasing jobs, improving wages, protecting families suffering from unemployment, and providing better health insurance and child care, and they guide us through the strategies needed to enact change.
These are achievable reforms that would make Americans more secure. The Wolf at the Door is one of those rare books that not only diagnose our problems but also show us how we can address them.


"Whether searching for that perfect place to call home or looking to get full value for your current home or investment, my focus is always the same - YOU."
My mortgage broker recommended Frances and I cannot be happier with her as my agent. She is meticulous, knowledgeable and professional. She is hard working and you always feel like you are her only client, even though she is very busy! She sold my apartment and helped us buy our new property. Her research and knowledge about the market allowed us to get top dollar for our property and we were able to get a great deal when purchasing our new property in a hot market. She stuck with us through a year and a half of house hunting and many, many open houses and I always felt she was on my side, and was never pushy. She also has a great eye on detail and often will point out potential issues with a house, before we even put in a bid, which helped us saved inspection fees! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy/sell, in fact I recommended her to my parents, who used her to buy/sell properties. They have been very happy with her service!
We recently worked with Frances on the sale of our family's house in Richmond BC. We found her to be pleasant, professional and knowledgeable about the Richmond property market. We are extremely satisfied with Frances' work and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone wishing to sell their house. Should we require real estate services in the future, we would definitely work with Frances again.
Frances helped us find the perfect home. It wasn't an easy task as we had a very specific list of what was important to us and we were very impatient. However she persevered until we found exactly what we were looking for. A few times we were tempted to settle on something that met most of our criteria and Frances encouraged us to wait for just the right fit. It was great advice and we are glad we took her counsel.
Frances has been our realtor for over 13 years helping us sell and buy several homes and each time we call upon her she continues to impress us. She is a hard working and incredibly talented professional who makes the process so much easier. Her over 25 years' experience as a realtor were on our side during our last purchase where her extensive knowledge and insight helped us remain grounded. Her expertise helped us broaden our view of the place we wanted and be open to ideas that not only helped us save money but made so much more sense in the end. After being in our new home now for over 1 1/2yrs we realize how much we love it and we owe much thanks to Frances. We are very grateful for knowing Frances – as our realtor and our friend.
Frances helped us purchase our first investment property fifteen years ago. Since then, she has helped us find our home in an insane seller's market. Through the long arduous journey of multiple subject-free, hundreds of thousands of dollars over asking price offers, Frances kept us grounded, focused and positive. She didn't let us succumb to the pressures of current market conditions and compromise on what we wanted. With every loss, Frances picked us up and helped us march on. In the end, we purchased our current home in the exact neighborhood we have always dreamed of living and for a good price. All because Frances didn't let us settle for less. With Frances' guidance, we have bought and sold several properties over the years and we always feel like she's on our side, whether we are buying or selling. We were out of town during our most recent transaction so we relied heavily on Frances during every stage and because of her diligence and commitment we had a smooth and easy transaction. Frances is trustworthy, knowledgeable and always goes above and beyond. She is in a league of her own.
I had the pleasure of working with Frances on two occasions. Once when I moved to the Vancouver area and again when I moved out of the area two years later. Being new to the area I relied on her expertise and she found me a great townhome within my budget. She made sure my purchase suited my needs and at the same time was a good investment. Both were important to me. When I left the area she was my listing realtor. Again she was a great asset to me during the marketing and sale of my home. With her guidance my home sold quickly and for top dollar. I strongly recommend Frances and know you will receive the same great service she provided me.
Frances has been our agent for the past few years, helping us both sell and buy our current place. She's been extremely patient and kind and never pressured us to make an immediate decision if we weren't sure about a property. She's very knowledgeable with up-to-date information on the current market and always looking out for our best interests. We're extremely happy with our new place and can't recommend her services enough!
As a first time home buyer, I was especially nervous. Frances was patient and took the time to answer any questions I had about the process. She was proactive with finding me listings that suited my desired location and price point. I appreciated her diligence and for steering me in the right direction. I love my new home!! Frances is professional and knowledgeable in her field and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. Thank you Frances!
This is the second property that we purchased with the help of Frances. She is extremely meticulous, prompt and really has your best interest at heart, which make this whole process worry free. We highly recommend Frances to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house/ condo.
"Whether searching for that perfect place to call home or looking to get full value for your current home or investment, my focus is always the same - YOU. Let my 28 years of experience and knowledge assist you with making informed decisions that best suit your real estate needs. We will develop a customized plan to achieve your goals. Please feel free to give me a call or send me a note. I would be happy to hear from you."

The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor
Shaenon K. Garrity (Author) Christopher Baldwin (Illustrator)
FORMAT
Paperback$14.99$13.94(English)

Hardcover$21.99$20.45(English)

Nimona meets Paper Girls with a literary twist in this wickedly funny graphic novel about a teenager who is swept up in a strange new universe and must save it from an all-consuming evil in order to return home.
One dark and stormy night, Haley sees a stranger drowning in the river. Since her greatest passion is Gothic romance novels, she knows her moment has come. But when Haley leaps into the water to rescue the stranger, she awakens in Willowweep. It certainly looks like the setting of one of her favorite books: A stately manor. A sinister housekeeper. Three brooding brothers. There's even a ghost.
Except Willowweep is not what it seems. Its romantic exterior hides the workings of a pocket universe--the only protection our world has against a great force of penultimate evil, and its defenses are crumbling. Could cruel fate make Haley the heroine that Willowweep needs?

Q: How can i change the colour of the status bar in the particular fragment? My question is i want to change the colour of the status bar in the particular fragment.and in all other fragment the colour should be same.Example like in all the fragments my status bar colour is red.but in the particular fragment i want to change it to black. can anyone tell me how can i do this ?
This is the onCreateView Method of my fragment :-
 @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, final ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        final View view = (View) inflater.inflate(R.layout.slide_user_image, container, false);

        Window window = getActivity().getWindow();
        window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
        window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
        window.setStatusBarColor(getActivity().getResources().getColor(R.color.black));

        return view;
    }

A:  Window window = getActivity().getWindow();
    window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
    window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
    window.setStatusBarColor(getActivity().getResources().getColor(R.color.black));

Write this code onResume() of fragment, And revert color on onPause() method, So that application will have old statusbarcolor in other fragments.
