This Travel Book About an Infamous Mutiny Comes Recommended by Tom Hanks
In 1789, the crew of the 'Bounty' ship overthrew their captain and sailed to a small uninhabited island in the South Pacific — this book tells the story of what happened once they got there.

The fascinating story of the Bounty mutineers, who, in 1789, overthrew their captain on their way from Tahiti to Jamaica, and sailed to a small uninhabited island in the South Pacific with a group of Tahitian men and women, has captivated the minds of curious travelers for more than two centuries. After living in isolation for 18 years on the island of Pitcairn, the group was discovered by an American whaling ship. These castaways' unlikely story of defiance and survival would go on to inspire countless books, movies, candy bars (your favorite coconut Bounty bar, that is), and even a Simpsons spoof.
But a new book by travel writer Brandon Presser, the "Far Land," sheds light, for the first time, on what exactly happened on Pitcairn after Christian Fletcher, the leader of the mutineers, and his fellow crewmen decided to make "an impregnable battlement of granite and red rock with a carpet of lush green undergrowth," as the "Far Land" describes it, their home. The narrative, based on extensive historical research, paints a vivid picture of "tribalism, trauma, psychopathy, paranoia, and survival in the bleakest of conditions," according to Presser.
The author took a special interest in documenting the largely untold story of the Tahitian women on Pitcairn, some of whom were not there by choice but were kidnapped to fulfill Fletcher's desire for the "right ratio of women — a dozen — to finally satisfy his brood," Presser said.
"A lot of people have framed the story on Pitcairn like 'the white men trying to make it into the wilderness,' but what I didn't fully appreciate until I was deep in the research was how crucial the women are to the story," he continued. "And it's so typical in history to marginalize these women of color, who are equally as important as the British men. They are extremely intelligent, cunning, capable, complex women who have just been completely infantilized as beautiful Tahitian women and nothing more."
In the book, Presser juxtaposes the mutineers' story from two centuries ago with his experience visiting the remote island where about 40 of their descendants still live. In 2018, he took three flights and sailed for two days aboard a rusty freighter to reach the British overseas territory, while on assignment for Travel + Leisure. However, he discovered more than just a classic travel story — namely, the bitter conflict between two families and their dark past — and set off to chronicle what happened after the infamous mutiny.
His research took him to Australia, where most of the logs and data from the Bounty are now kept. He spent a week "buried in the basement" of the State Library of New South Wales going through documents, newspaper clippings, and books, and interviewed dozens of the mutineers' descendants, some of whom no longer live on Pitcairn.
The result is a meticulously researched page turner that marries adventure stories with crime cliffhangers (and just won best travel book in SATW Foundation's Lowell Thomas travel journalism competition). Travelers will especially enjoy the colorful descriptions of Tahiti's culture and customs. Presser's eloquent writing and masterful storytelling will capture you from the very first sentence until the last. Or, as actor Tom Hanks recently raved on Instagram, it's "like a bowl of pudding in the refrigerator, one that calls for a stolen spoonful every 20 minutes or so."
You can purchase the "Far Land" on Amazon or via Public Affairs Books.

'10M in 10' nears target as it marks 5th year
High five for the partners of 10M in 10 as the movement celebrates its anniversaryNot even the COVID-19 pandemic could stop the 10 Million Trees in 10 Years for a Greener Negros (10M in 10) movement from pursuing its goal of planting, growing and maintaining at least 10 million trees to restore the forests in Negros Island.
The movement that was catalyzed by Energy Development Corporation (EDC) honored its partners via a Zoom celebration themed "High Five at 5" for their dedication that resulted in the planting of more than eight million trees by 2020.
Over 100 partners representing various stakeholder groups graced the virtual event.
"We are grateful to our partners whose unwavering commitment to our common goal of regreening Negros island was proven as they helped us exceed our five million target number of seedlings to be planted and managed to maintain an average survival rate of 85% amid this challenging year," said Norreen Bautista, head of EDC's CSR team in Negros that also manages the company's 10M in 10 contributions.
"The health crisis brought about by COVID-19 has put the spotlight even more on the need to keep our air clean through decarbonization, which entails planting and growing native trees as well as shifting to renewable energy for our source of power," she added.
The addition of 83 new sign-ups brings the movement's partners to 252 as of December 2020.
In the anniversary celebration, 10M in 10 honored some of its most committed partners.
Cited were Alliance of Mangrove Planting Organizations that was able to plant 500,000 seedlings since it became one of the movement's founding members in 2015, and Jefrey Palata and his organization, Edmund Rice Industries-Kabankalan, Negros Occidental chapter.
Palata came up with a climate change module that involved planting 1,000 native tree seedlings with the help of Fr. Jude Garceniego, head of Sharing with the Poor is Always a Grace- a HOPE that is now a 10M in 10 member, and other volunteers.
10M in 10 also paid tribute to "rainforestation" farmer Rene Vendiola of Liptong Woodland in Negros Oriental, and Atty. Henry Sy Yap, who turned his 16-hectare Farmville de Bago into a 10M in M reforestation area. (Story/Photos by: Frances Ariola)

Фéллах ( «пахарь, землепашец»; мн.ч феллахун ) — крестьянин в странах Ближнего Востока и Северной Африки. Во времена распространения ислама этот термин использовался, чтобы отличать арабских завоевателей, обычно кочевников (бедуинов), от местных деревенских жителей (феллахов) на оккупированных территориях, таких как копты или арамеи/сирийцы в странах Ближнего Востока.

В течение семи веков после арабского завоевания Египта была сформирована социальная иерархия, в которой перешедшие в ислам египтяне достигли статуса мавали (), иначе говоря, приближённых к правящей арабской элите, тогда как копты, оставшиеся христианами — остались непривилегированными податными зимми. Привилегии арабского меньшинства в видоизменённой форме сохранились в период новой истории в сельской местности, где остатки арабских бедуинских племён жили по соседству с египетскими феллахами.

Составляя 60 % населения Египта, феллахи продолжали жить небогато в глиняных домиках, как и их античные предки. В начале XX века их доля в общем населении Египта была значительно выше, пока не начался процесс урбанизации, сопровождавшийся большим притоком феллахов в города. В 1927 году антрополог Винифред Блэкмен, автор книги «Феллахи в Верхнем Египте», провела этнографические исследования жизни земледельцев в Верхнем Египте и сделала выводы о заметной связи в области культуры, религии и традиций между феллахами и древними египтянами.

You have the right to appeal a decision of the Social Security Administration denying you Social Security Disability (SSDI) benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. Hoffman, Larin & Agnetti PA will review your case at no cost and file your appeal if it has merit.
The Social Security Disability (SSD) insurance program pays benefits to you and certain family members if you have worked long enough and have paid Social Security taxes for the required number of quarters. If you qualify for SSD, the Social Security Administration will calculate you monthly benefit based upon your contributions. SSD recipients are also entitled to Medicare.
The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program pays benefits to disabled adults and children who have limited income and resources and have not made sufficient contribution to qualify for SSD. SSI recipients are entitled to Medicaid.
The first level of appeal is called a request for reconsideration . You will receive a new decision by someone who had no part in the first decision. The Social Security Administration (SSA) will send you a letter explaining how they made the decision. It is very difficult to get SSA to change their minds after a reconsideration request unless there is substantial medical information that was not received or considered during the initial determination.
If you disagree with the reconsideration decision, you have the right to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).
The ALJ will make an independent decision based on the evidence, including your testimony at the hearing. The decision is a "de novo" determination, that is, the Judge will not assume that the prior denials of your claim by SSA is correct. You, and your attorney will have an opportunity to submit updated or new evidence and testimony for the ALJ's consideration.
Generally, you have 60 days after you receive the notice of the reconsideration decision to ask for any type of appeal.
In counting the 60 days, SSA presumes that you receive the notice five days after we mail it unless you can show that you received it later.
If you do not file an appeal timely, the ALJ may dismiss your appeal. This means that you may not be eligible for the next step in the appeal process and that you may also lose your right to any further review.
You must have a good reason if you wait more than 60 days to request an appeal. If you file an appeal after the deadline, you must explain the reason you are late and request that we extend the time limit. The people in the Social Security office can explain further and help you file a written request to extend the time limit.
At Hoffman, Larin & Agnetti PA we offer a free consultation by phone or in person at our offices throughout South Florida (Miami-Dade, Monroe County, including Key West and the Upper Keys, Broward County/Fort Lauderdale). Call us at 800-803-5555.

Lavendel (Lavandula angustifolia) är en art i familjen kransblommiga växter och förekommer naturligt från södra Frankrike till nordvästra och södra Italien. Arten odlas som prydnad och till parfymindustrin. Den förekommer även förvildad utanför sitt ursprungliga utbredningsområde.

Beskrivning och utbredning
Lavendel är en flerårig liten buske, vanligtvis med blåvioletta blommor i stoppställda ax och små smala silvergrå blad. Lavendel finns även i andra färger, till exempel vit och rosa. Den blir cirka 50 centimeter hög och används mest som dekoration och för sina väldoftande blommor som blommar i juli till augusti. Den bör planteras soligt och i väldränerad jord.

Växten finns omnämnd i Sverige redan under medeltiden. I Sverige är den härdig upp till Mälardalsområdet och under gynnsamma omständigheter en bit upp efter Norrlandskusten. I de allra sydligaste delarna av Sverige förekommer den förvildad, och den första noteringen om förvildad lavendel i Sverige gjordes 1933 i Malmö.

Odling

Omfattande odling av lavendel förekommer i delar av södra Frankrike (inte minst i departementet Vaucluse).

Användning
Lavendel används av vissa även som insektsrepellerande medel framför allt mot mal i garderob, då malen skyr doften som lavendel utsöndrar. I Sverige är det gammal tradition att placera torkade blommor i påsar i linneskåpet. Detta ger linnet en svag parfymering.

Växten lär även kunna användas till örtte, medan den i Sydeuropa förekommer som krydda till kött. Lavendel har också en historia som läkeväxt, och den anses vara både lugnande och kramplindrande.

Lavendelolja
Av lavendel kan framställas lavendelolja, även kallad spikolja. Farmakopénamn för denna olja är Oleum de spica, Aetheroleum lavanduale, Lavandulae aetheroleum, Oleum lavandulae och Oleum lavandulae florum. CAS-numret är 90063-37-9. Lavendelolja kan förväxlas med spiklavendelessens, lavandinessens, örtoljan lavendelolja, indisk lavendelolja (en variant av linaloeolja) och skärmlavendelolja som är en eterisk olja ur "fransk lavendel" (Lavandula stoechas). Denna är skarpare och har mer kamferartad doft.

Namnet
Namnet lavendel kommer från medeltidslatinets la'vendula eller la'vandula, vilket i sin tur härrör från verbet lavare ('tvätta). På grund av sin väldoft har växten fått stor användning i samband med just bad. Artnamnet angustifolia betyder 'smalbladig', efter angustus ('smal') och folium ('blad').

Sorter
En mängd sorter förekommer, exempelvis:

 'Hidcote Blue' - har blåvioletta blommor.
 'Joan Davis' - har mörkt rosa blommor.
 'Martha Roderick' - har ljusblå blommor.

3p Weekend: 8 Companies Going All-In on Ocean Conservation
Words by Mary Mazzoni
Mar 21, 48412
With a busy week behind you and the weekend within reach, there's no shame in taking things a bit easy on Friday afternoon. With this in mind, every Friday TriplePundit will give you a fun, easy read on a topic you care about. So, take a break from those endless email threads and spend five minutes catching up on the latest trends in sustainability and business.
On June 8, people and organizations around the world marked World Oceans Day, an annual commemoration of ocean conservation and health. Of course, the battle for healthier oceans will take more than 24 hours to wage, a fact both sustainability advocates and forward-thinking organizations know well.
Day-in and day-out, advocacy groups and non-governmental organizations work to address pervasive problems like ocean warming and acidification, plastic waste, and overfishing. But here at TriplePundit, where we champion public-private-NGO partnerships and corporate social responsibility (CSR), we wondered what companies are doing to fight this fight. From startups founded with conservation at their core to leading companies making oceans a CSR focus, this week we tip our hats to private-sector firms making a difference.
1. Whole Foods Market
Whole Foods Market caught some flak last year for selling tilapia farmed by prison laborers earning $1.50 an hour. But a few months later, Greenpeace was quick to remind consumers that the health-focused grocery chain is actually ahead of the pack when it comes to seafood sourcing -- giving Whole Foods top ranks in its annual report that tracks environmental and human-rights issues in seafood supply chains.
But beyond the products it sources and sells, Whole Foods makes ocean conservation a key focus of its CSR efforts. Earlier this year, Whole Foods linked up with the Nature Conservancy and the Billion Oyster Project to revitalize the New York harbor and restore oyster fisheries. A healthy one-acre oyster reef has the potential to filter approximately 24 million gallons of water per day, say the partners. So, beyond sourcing tasty seafood, restoring New York's oyster fisheries is a boon for the whole harbor. Whole Foods plans to partner on similar oyster-restoration projects in Seattle, Atlanta, New Orleans, Oakland and Austin, Texas.
The grocery chain also makes it a priority to educate consumers about conservation and the importance of sustainable seafood, including efforts such as this Twitter chat with TriplePundit.
2. United By Blue
Founded in 2010, outdoor apparel startup United By Blue began with ocean conservation in mind. For every product sold over the past six years, the Philadelphia-based company removed one pound of trash from oceans and waterways through company-organized and hosted cleanups.
The company and its founder, Brian Linton, have hosted 151 cleanups in 25 states -- removing a staggering 284,467 pounds of trash from rivers, streams, creeks and beaches. The company also hosts an ongoing social media conversation around ocean and wildlife conversation -- encouraging fans to share their outdoor, travel and volunteer photos with the hashtag #BlueMovement.
3. Monterey Bay Aquarium
The Monterey Bay Aquarium, a not-for-profit corporation founded in 1978, opened to the public in the 1980s and now attracts nearly 2 million visitors annually. While some have come to shudder at the thought of sea creatures in captivity, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Foundation is an entirely different animal (excuse the pun).
The foundation works to promote ocean conservation and sustainable fisheries through both research and policy advocacy. Its Seafood Watch program, established in 1999, is one of the most respected sources of science-based information used by business and consumers to find and purchase seafood from ocean-friendly sources.
The aquarium also offers free access for students and teachers to bolster the next generation's appreciation for our oceans. Since 1984, more than 2 million schoolchildren and teachers took part in free in-depth programs on ocean biodiversity and conservation.
4. Norton Point
If you've never heard of Norton Point, don't feel too out of touch. The eyewear company officially launched two days ago with the campaign and hashtag #SeaPlasticDifferently. The social media moniker is fitting with the company's story, as well as its flagship product: the world's first line of sunglasses made from post-consumer ocean plastics.
The plastic is recovered from beaches and waterways in Haiti, where local community collectors are paid a living wage for the material, the company's founder, Ryan Schoenike, told TriplePundit in an email. Like United By Blue, Norton Point pledges to remove one pound of ocean debris for every product purchased. It will also donate proceeds from its sales to the Ocean Conservancy and partnered with the NGO for education and outreach.
The company, based on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, is raising funds on Kickstarter to expand its business operations. With 27 days to go, it raised more than $26,000 toward its $37,000 goal at press time.
5. Bank of America
It may be surprising to see Bank of America on this list, but the financial institution is actually a big supporter of ocean conservation efforts. It has been a "dedicated sponsor" of the International Coastal Cleanup for 13 years, says the Ocean Conservancy, and encourages employees get their hands dirty and take part in the annual event.
Last year, 2,000 Bank of America employees took part in International Coastal Cleanup events around the world, helping to remove millions of pounds of trash from beaches and waterways.
6. The Sea Bin Project
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiy7WQYQyhY
Australian surfers Andrew Turton and Pete Ceglinski spent years watching garbage float by as they headed out to catch the next big wave. Inspired to do something about it, the two devised a concept to engage ports, marinas and yacht clubs in the fight against ocean plastic.
After raising more than $250,000 on the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo, the duo is only a few months from making their vision a reality. Their product, a low-tech rubbish collection system called the Seabin, centers around a shore-based water pump -- which creates a flow of water into the bin, bringing with it bottles, bags and other debris. After securing a manufacturing contract, the company expects to ship its first Seabins later this year.
7. Samudra Skin & Sea
Founded by Shilpi Chhotray, a senior manager at Future 500, a global nonprofit specializing in stakeholder engagement, Samudra Skin & Sea was based on ocean conservation from the start. Even its name, the Indian word for ocean, gives nod to the company's core mission.
The company partners with the Marine Mammal Center, a research and education organization based in Sausalito, California, in an effort to expand knowledge about marine mammal health, ocean health and global conservation. But the product supply chain is where things really get interesting: Its organic skincare line features sustainable wild-harvested seaweed.
The company works with Larry Knowles, owner of Rising Tide Sea Vegetables and Mendocino, California's resident seaweed expert, to source its main ingredient. Knowles, who has harvested seaweed off the coasts of Northern California since 1995, uses careful and sustainable practices and believes in a systems-thinking approach to marine ecosystems. The small startup sells its wares at a few shops in California, and its online store will go live in August. Click here to check out Chhotray's op/ed on TriplePundit, where she explains more about sustainable seaweed harvesting.
8. Method
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08qmB-ysqAQ
Personal care and household cleaning brand Method was a sustainability darling from the moment it jumped on the scene. After launching with a few natural home cleaning sprays in 2001, the company was on Target shelves nationwide only a year later. In 2009, Method became one of the first Cradle to Cradle endorsed companies, with 37 C2C certified products at launch, among the most of any company in the world (now up to 60 certified products and counting).
And in 2012, it rocked the packaged goods industry again by creating soap bottle packaging made almost entirely from recovered ocean trash. The bottle itself isn't intended to eliminate the ocean plastic crisis -- as no single supply chain could accomplish such a feat -- but rather raise awareness of ocean conservation among shoppers, as well as show other companies what's possible with an innovative supply chain. The company continues to champion ocean cleanups with partners ranging from Whole Foods to Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii.

Home/People/Arts & Entertainment/Rod Stewart
Rod Stewartadmin2018-06-05T15:07:06-07:00
Few rock stars have managed to reach the level of fame Rod Stewart has achieved. His career spans nearly four decades, and his hit list is long and impressive. Not only is Stewart a pop icon, he is also a respected singer and songwriter who has been able to adapt his style to the changing times, continuing to produce hits and attract new fans. Not only has he created great music; his lifestyle has been the envy of young men worldwide. Lately, Stewart's focus has changed due to a recent scare when he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. His bout with cancer has opened his eyes to the preciousness of life, and Stewart has now devoted much of his time to helping publicize the fight against cancer, and help those who are not as fortunate as he was.
Roderick Stewart was born on January 10, 1945 in London, England. Minutes before Stewart was born, a German V2 rocket exploded into the Police Station right down the street, maybe a sign that this baby was going to be a big hit. Stewart was the youngest of five children born to Robert and Elsie Stewart. His parents owned a newsagents shop in North London, and the family resided above the shop. As a youngster, Stewart had a passion for model railroads and soccer, as well as music. Quite often the Stewart family would sing songs around the family piano, especially songs by Al Jolson, a favorite of Rod and the family. Stewart did not like going to school, and his lack of interest made him realize he needed to find a career that had nothing to do with scholastics'. He found soccer.
The Stewart family were all interested in soccer, from his father to his two older brothers to Rod himself. Very early, Stewart realized that soccer was a chance for him to earn a good living. He practiced hard everyday, and in his late teens he signed an apprentice contract to play with the Brenton Football Club. But his soccer career was not what he expected. Too much of the time he was taking care of equipment for players on the first team, and his actual time on the field was short. After only a few short weeks, Stewart hung up his cleats, and decided to pursue another profession. The other major influence in his life, music, soon came calling.
It was the early sixties, and Stewart was consumed with the folk music culture. He not only embraced alternative music, but he also opened himself up to alternative ways of thinking. Rod became interested in left-wing politics and was soon a beatnik and communist. He also grew his hair out long and dressed in folk garb, much to the dismay of his parents. Deciding to tour Europe as a band with some of his folk friends, he played on the streets to tourists for money. One of the friends was named Whizz Jones, a popular folk singer.
Rod, Whizz, and company toured around Europe until Spanish police arrested the band for vagrancy and found that their passports were expired. They were soon expelled form Spain and sent back to England. Stewart's father made Rod clean up and find a job. Rod worked at different menial jobs during this time including a gravedigger, fence erector, and delivery boy. He also stopped dressing like a beatnik and adopted the beginnings of the sexy image he would later portray. Musically, he started to drift away from folk music, towards the rock and roll sounds of upcoming bands like The Rolling Stones and The Yardbirds.
Rod was soon playing in different rock bands, but he didn't get his big break until he joined the Jeff Beck Group in 1966. The combo of Beck and Stewart set the standard for what was to become heavy metal, with the hard guitar licks of Beck and the sexy vocals of Stewart yielding an original sound. The group released two influential albums in "Truth" and "Beck Ola," but within two and a half years the group disbanded. After the break up, Stewart and Jeff Beck Group bassist Ron Wood joined The Faces, and Stewart also began a solo career. It was his solo career that Stewart would soon find huge success.
The Faces were a success both in England and the US, and became known as a great live band, but during this same period Stewart was also laying the foundation for a solo career. His first solo release, "An Old Raincoat Won't Let You Down," only made it to number 139 on the charts, but the critics were impressed with its content and style. His second solo album was also met with mediocre reviews. Finally in his third solo effort, "Every Picture Tells A Story," success arrived, and it produced Stewart's first number one chart hit "Maggie May." Stewart's fourth album, "Never A Dull Moment," was also a huge success, reaching the number two spot on the US charts. The Faces on the other hand, suffered the fate of many groups with strong individual personalities, and soon broke up, leaving Stewart to put full effort into his solo career.
In 1976, Stewart achieved his first platinum album, "A Night On The Town." The album featured the number one single "Tonight's The Night." This album certified Stewart as a rock superstar. He continued to release albums, and produced many smash hits like "Hot Legs," "You're In My Heart," and the classic tribute to being attractive, "Do You Think I'm Sexy?" In his later career he also found success with hits like "Infatuation" and "Forever Young."
Along with his hit music, Rod also enjoyed a glamorous lifestyle. He was seen at all the big parties and galas, and he dated numerous models and celebrities. Even though Stewart works out daily and is in great health, his doctors discovered a lump on his thyroid gland. In an interview with ABC, he told them, "It was a terrible shock. I mean, I just went into total silence for a few days. Early detection made all the difference. "Men have got to get to the doctors and get it detected early." Stewart had gone in for a routine CAT scan when the tumor was found, and he under went surgery the next day to remove it. Stewart has now made a full recovery.
Faced with such a frightening ordeal, Stewart now wants to help others in similar situations. He has realized that cancer can hit anyone at anytime, and he wants to bring awareness to the deadly disease. "I'm one of the lucky ones," he says. "The first thing you think is 'Why?' The next thing you think is 'What can I do to help?'" Stewart has contributed by helping publicize the work of the City of Hope Foundation, an organization working to find a cure for all types of cancer. Recently, he made a visit to the Foundation. "To see small children dying of cancer with absolutely no hope, I think, God, I'm one of the lucky ones," Stewart said. "He must have given me a second chance, and there's something I've got to do with the rest of my life."
To help raise money for the foundation, Stewart has already auctioned personal items and memorabilia. He has also become a spokesman for the foundation. Stewarts' contributions to awareness will make a significant difference. When individuals with his power of world recognition bring their celebrity to bear on an issue, millions of people notice and listen. His attitude and willingness to make a difference in the lives of others in this way, single him out as a truly extraordinary individual

Best museums in Australia & New Zealand
Our trips to Australia and New Zealand showcase the region's top museums, from the interactive Antarctic Centre in New Zealand, to the open ships of the Australian National Maritime Museum.
The International Antarctic Centre
Located in Christchurch, the International Antarctic Centre is one of the best attractions in New Zealand. There are scores of interactive experiences to show you what life is like in Antarctica, including a thrilling all-terrain vehicle tour and a wild Antarctic storm room.

Set in Sydney's vibrant Darling Harbour, the Australian National Maritime Museum shares the country's stories of the sea. You can explore three open vessels including a ship and a submarine, and various exhibitions that document the charting of Australia's coastline and the sacred meaning of the sea to the Aboriginal Australians.
Museum of Sydney
The Museum of Sydney showcases the colonial and contemporary history of Sydney, though pictures, objects and digital media exhibitions. It was built on the ruins of Australia's first Government House dating back to 1788, and today houses a large display of convict artefacts recovered from over 25 archaeological digs.
Best food in Australia & New Zealand
Our tours of New Zealand and Australia will reveal their most beloved dishes, from fresh crayfish and chicken parmigiana, to the sweet meringue of pavlova.
Pavlova is made from chewy meringue shell with a soft marshmallow centre, and topped with whipped cream and fresh fruits like strawberries, kiwifruit and passionfruit. There's a rivalry between Australia and New Zealand over the true national origins of the dish, but both countries agree it's a truly delicious dessert.
Seafood is a national specialty throughout New Zealand, but the best place to enjoy a meal of crayfish is Kaikoura, a seaside town on the South Island. Here, you'll enjoy the freshest catch of the day, and the crayfish is boiled and served with a tangy dipping sauce.
Found in restaurants all over Australia, the parmigiana is one of the most beloved dishes in the country. It's made from a breaded chicken breast slathered in tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, served with french fries and salad. It originated in Italy and was brought to Australia with a wave of Italian migrants.

Versatile shoes
You'll need a range of shoes for your journey, from flip-flops for the beaches, to hiking boots for the mountains, and even a formal pair for a night at the Sydney Opera House.

During art school one of Bethany's main activities was creating settings, which she then photographed. Her objective was to create a "realistic" imaginary world, in which one can supposedly wander around. With an ordinary camera the images remained too distant... But with the pinhole camera she was able to capture this feeling.
Her inspiration stems from objects she may find or materials that appeal to her. Often her ideas contain elements from fairy-tales. The story is neither conventional nor predictable though, the images can be interpreted in many ways.
Being a pinhole photographer Bethany's view of the world is quite deformed. Her everyday surroundings are looked at with a pinhole eye. Sugar cubes are like bricks and chicken-feet are tree-trunks.
Bethany's pictures radiate a fairy-tale atmosphere. A close-up perspective causes an unusual reality to emerge. Because of this, lifeless materials come to life while living matter is taken out of its ordinary context and is transformed into an almost static still life.
To create the illusion of space, Bethany uses mirrors. This complicates matters, for it causes the camera to appear in the picture. The camera therefore is a part of the setting and is fit to blend in with the surroundings. Unrecognizable for the viewer, but essential for the image.
The models/ settings, often not larger than a reasonably sized box, are captured by means of pinhole photography. To create a pinhole picture, you need a pinhole camera. This is a camera without a lens; the light reaches the film through a tiny hole (the size of a pinpoint). Many objects can be turned into cameras; boxes and cans are extremely useful.
Bethany's first camera was a matchbox, which she used to create black and white images of a very small model (the glass house).
This is one of Bethany's favorite aspects of pinhole: building a camera of which the shape and measurements correspond with that what you need. Nowadays Bethany uses modified cameras, because of the comfort of a film transport-mechanism. She rids these cameras of lens and shutter and inserts an ordinary piece of foil with a small hole in its center.
Another unusual aspect is that no button is pressed, just remove the cap and let the light do its work. The aperture times are much longer than with ordinary photography. A picture taken from within a model takes ten minutes on average. Outside in bright daylight apertures are shorter, but still several seconds.


The Nottawasaga Watershed covers 3,700 square kilometres. The valley contains diverse features and ecosystems.
The Nottawasaga River begins at the junction of the Niagara Escarpment and the Oak Ridges Moraine. The river meanders down through the internationally significant Minesing Wetlands and out into Georgian Bay at Wasaga Beach, the world's longest freshwater beach!
There are proven environmental, economic, social and health benefits to protecting our lakes, rivers and groundwater. Meeting and exceeding the watershed restoration targets will help safeguard these benefits.
The NVCA's monitoring of water quality and natural habitat in the Nottawasaga Valley watersheds indicates that many of our river systems have been impaired, and critical habitat and functions lost. But with your help, much can be done.
About 95% of the land in the Nottawasaga Watersheds is privately owned. Achieving water quality and habitat targets will depend on everyone working in concert. Our stewardship programs assist landowners that want to protect and conserve our common waters.
Our watershed management plan and stream monitoring programs inform our restoration priorities and targets. The document below summarizes the targets for several subwatersheds in the Nottawasaga Valley.
Every year about 47 tonnes of phosphorus enters the Nottawasaga River.
Phosphorus is a nutrient that encourages plant growth. Each 1kg of phosphorus can produce 300-500 kg of algae. Excessive concentrations can result in algal blooms. Certain species of algae can produce toxins. Additionally, when the blooms die, they consume oxygen which impacts aquatic life.
Phosphorus comes from agricultural runoff from croplands and pasture, urban runoff from lawns and gardens, failing septic systems, and sewage treatment plant effluent.

Today is Clean off your Desk Day which fits perfectly into our January 'Get Organised Month' theme and also sounds like a fabulous way to start the New Year, but how can you actually organise to help maximise your time?
How many times have you found yourself working on urgent takes, but not important tasks.
Creating a To Do List and then ranking the list can be really useful. Write EVERYTHING down (do NOT rely on your memory), even if it's just onto your To Do List. Remember to TREAT YO' SELF once you've accomplished different tasks, creating a 'Weekend Bucket List' can also free up your time on the weekends to focus on what you want to do and enjoy yourself rather than worrying about the week ahead, or sat at home working.
A – The things I have to get done today.
B – The things you need to get done, but not today.
C – Things you need to find time to do soon.
For some people 'A Cluttered Desk is a sign of a Cluttered Mind' whereas for others 'A Cluttered Desk is a sign of a Genius'. Personally, for me I'd say I'm more a 'Cluttered Mind' sort of person whereas I'd class Tricia as a 'Genius'. Regardless of which category you fit into, I can guarantee that you could clean your desk into three piles right now: To Toss, To File and To Do. Once you've done the initial organise you can then work on what works for you in keeping your desk tidy (or NOT). Remember: everyday someone will put at least one thing new on your desk, how and where do you want it to be stored?
It's time. Those 13,000 unread emails are ready for the bin. Sit down and take the time to delete emails you don't need, or to file them into sub-folders (life-savers!). Not only that, but unsubscribe from all those newsletters (not ours!) that you no longer have time to read. You might want to spend 30 minutes a day tidying up your email, or you might want to tackle it all at once! Just like our mind, clearing out the junk will make space for new information to come through and be accessed.
Everybody has their own way to store files, so sit down and think for a moment. Where will you instinctively look for business insurance, marketing plans, finances or children's registers? Do you want them to be electronic or do they need to be paper; why not have a combination of both? At Foundation Focus we have a business filing system which is where our documents eventually end up, but up to that point each staff member has their own way on filing on their desk, whether that be 'Awaiting Payment' or 'To Do' trays on their desk to it could be tasks set up in the Outlook Email.
DELEGATE. Take a moment to look at what you're currently working on, or what's on your To Do List, what can be delegated to someone else? Maybe there are issues that keep coming back to you that should be directed to someone else, create a Organisation Chart and share it amongst your employees.

Britain's Prince Louis a baby no more, turning 1 on Tuesday
The youngest child of Britain's Prince William and his wife, Kate, is about to celebrate his first birthday
New adorable photo of Prince Louis with Grandpa Wales
Adrienne Bankert reports the buzziest stories of the day in "GMA" Pop News.
LONDON -- The youngest child of Britain's Prince William and his wife, Kate, is about to celebrate his first birthday.
Prince Louis will mark the milestone on Tuesday.
He is fifth in line to the throne, behind his grandfather, Prince Charles, his father, Prince William, his brother, Prince George, and his sister, Princess Charlotte.
Louis is a great-grandson of Queen Elizabeth II, who turned 93 on Sunday.
He has largely been kept out of the public eye since he was born.


A major survey of plot holders in Brighton and Hove, just completed in October 2013 shows that 92% of plot holders either agreed or strongly agreed that allotments improved their mental health or provided stress relief. 53 % strongly agreed and 39% agreed. According to the survey 4500-5000 people regularly use the allotments in Brighton and Hove.
In the same survey a similar high percentage emphasised the benefit allotments gave through general exercise. 36% of plot holders in Brighton and Hove are aged between 40 and 49. The 40-50 year old age group is notoriously difficult to engage in health related activities.
In earlier evidence provided to the Strategy steering committee it was revealed that the NHS estimates that the wider economic cost of mental illness in England has been estimated at £105 billion per year.
This is equivalent to £2,000 each year for every man woman and child in England.
Alan Phillips, Chairman of the Brighton and Hove Allotment Federation.

Q: Method in SoapUI request to generate random alpha numeric string I have a method to generate an 8 characters alpha numeric string.
log.info(
    new Random().with {
    (1..8).collect { (('A'..'Z')+('0'..'9')).join()[ nextInt( (('A'..'Z')+('0'..'9')).join().length() ) ] }.join()
  })

I ran it as test case set up script and it returns:
Thu Sep 18 10:37:18 NZST 2014:INFO:L7S76IP1

When I include this in the test request as one of the attribute:
${new Random().with {(1..8).collect { (('A'..'Z')+('0'..'9')).join()[ nextInt( (('A'..'Z')+('0'..'9')).join().length() ) ] }.join()}}

Then it did not return the random string as I expected.
Can you please help me out?
Thanks.

A: You need to use the equal sign in the property expansion, like so: ${=new Random .....}
Also, you might want to look at Apache RandomStringUtils.


text: Q: Hat matrix: various results in linear algebra. In the question, the hat matrix $H = I-x(x^Tx)^{-1}x^T$ is an $n$ x $n$ matrix. $x$ is a $n$ x $p$ vector, whose columns are linearly dependent. How do I show that $Hx = 0$, $H^T = H$, and $H^2 = H$. I'm a bit confused as when I try and manipulate $H$, I get $x(x^Tx)^{-1}x^T = xx^{-1}(x^T)^{-1}x^T = I$ which would imply $H = 0$? This obviously doesn't make sense. Where am I going wrong here?

Winter is now in full swing. Some might be enjoying the colder weather and others may be welcoming the first snowfall. With so much excitement, cozy nights in with a cup of coffee or fun days filled with ice skating, this wonderful season is also filled with fabulous fashion. Whether you are planning for that snowstorm selfie or want to stay dry and warm while skiing, whether you like to stand out among black puffers or want to break out from the winter fashion rut, some cute, chic and intelligent accessories can be your winter bliss.
Check out these exciting winter accessories that are difficult to live without.
These super cute gloves keep your hands nice and cozy. These gloves provide you the mobility for everyday activities like texting your bestie for a coffee meetup. Wine red color offers a stylish flair to dull neutrals while the fabulous knitting pattern is sure to catch eyes.
A bracelet is a stunning addition to any ensemble. This sophisticated bracelet is a perfect accessory to complement any winter wardrobe. This bolo bracelet shimmering with golden brilliance adds metallic flare for those dreary winter days.
Not only is this white scarf very on trend because of its fringes, but it will also keep you toasty and stylish for those cold winter months with a fabulous kimono that complements it perfectly. Whether you have a dinner date or a movie night, who says you have to look like a bundled-up mess just because it's cold outside?!
A knitted vest is the perfect piece of clothing to throw over your favorite long-sleeved tunic. The stylish ginger color with fringes makes it's an excellent fashion staple to keep you warm and dry from winter weather.
Ear studs have always been on trend, and it's easy to see why. The elegant approach to a classic piece of jewelry allows for a new and creative fashion appearance. Laced with amethyst, these beauties are ideal for the ideal pop of color to the winter blues.
Earmuffs are an outstanding choice to ace you style this winter. They are super cute and offer warmth to your ears while you are running errands on cold days.

Q: What is the difference between GoToPlaylistItem and GoToPlaylistItemOnNextTick Unable to understand the difference bettwen GoToPlaylistItem and GoToPlaylistItemOnNextTick, though GoToPlaylistItemOnNextTick clicked on scenarios where GoToPlaylistItem din't work.
If you wonder if there are any differences, Have a look at this Post for a problem solved by using GoToPlaylistItemOnNextTick while it was throwing null exception with GoToPlaylistItem
While I naviaged to the defination I got the following details. Could some one explain?
[ScriptableMember]
public virtual void GoToPlaylistItem(int playlistItemIndex);
public void GoToPlaylistItemOnNextTick(int playlistItemIndex);

A: MediaPlayer uses a Timer internally. This timer is created in a protected method called CreatePositionTimer:
protected void CreatePositionTimer(TimeSpan interval)
{
    if (m_timer == null)
    {
        m_timer = new DispatcherTimer();
        m_timer.Interval = interval; // 6 NTSC frames
        m_timer.Tick += new EventHandler(OnTimerTick);
    }
}

The method GoToPlaylistItemOnNextTick simply sets a few internal variables:
public void GoToPlaylistItemOnNextTick(int playlistItemIndex)
{
    if (!m_goToItemOnNextTick) // don't set it if already set
    {
        m_goToItemOnNextTick = true;
        m_goToItemOnNextTickIndex = playlistItemIndex;
    }
}

The next time the timer comes around, OnTimerTick is called, and this checks for the above variables and then calls GoToPlaylistItem:
void OnTimerTick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    [...]

    if (m_goToItemOnNextTick)
    {
        m_goToItemOnNextTick = false;
        GoToPlaylistItem(m_goToItemOnNextTickIndex);
    }

    [...]
}

So the difference is that GoToPlaylistItem will go to the next playlist item immediately, while GoToPlaylistItemOnNextTick will do it at the next timer tick. The specific timer it uses is System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer. This ensures that GoToPlaylistItem will be called when the UI thread is idle.
The difference may be significant if you rely on some of the events that MediaPlayer fires, for example StateChanged. If you call GoToPlaylistItem, this event will execute immediately before GoToPlaylistItem returns. If you call GoToPlaylistItemOnNextTick, then the event will only occur later when your current method has finished and the UI thread is idle.


There has been a lot of discussion recently about changes to Digg's algorithm. While these changes have been subtle and complex, one noticable difference is the difficulty veteran users are having getting stories to the front page. Now, when I was new to Digg I was frustrated to see how many submissions by the so-called 'top Digg users' made the front page while newer users had to struggle to get enough votes. I've since become a more experienced Digg user and changed my mind about a number of things related to the site.
1) Veteran users get a lot of stories to the front page with good reason: they are trusted by others to submit top content from around the internet on a variety of subjects. This trust is built up over time. It is only natural that users who submit and participate more will have higher quality submissions worthy of the front page.
2) Spammers can easily fill the void when veteran Digger submissions can no longer rise to the top. In fact, they can do so with much less effort since their submissions require fewer votes to succeed.
3) With blocks to top Diggers they are forced to result to the same tactics spammers use: mass shouting, begging for Diggs, submitting only the craziest and most offbeat content. This simultaneously lowers the bar on quality content while also forcing quality users to work harder and arguably less ethically to get good content to the front page of Digg.
At the end of the day, we have seen the introduction of shouts and algorithm changes that have resulted in more and more poor content reaching the front page of Digg. Worse yet, quality submitters like CosmikDebris (who specializes in scientific and space-related links) suffer from low frontpage ratios because their content – while very interesting, newsworthy and educational simply isn't sensational enough to compete with shout-spammers who focus primarily on offbeat news. This isn't about top Diggers having their egos bruised, it is about people who invest time and effort to bring good content to all Digg users having their hands tied and about the mainstream everyday Digg reader seeing worse and worse stories on the front page.
There are of course other issues at hand right now and many of them are longstanding. The infamous autobury list remains in full effect and Digg's creators remain in full denial despite the overwhelming evidence (it kind of reminds me of creationists denying fossils). Top users still remain banned for unknown reasons. Many other users have simply left Digg because of all of the uproar. Digg's Alexa stats are suffering and frankly if they don't work out a serious overhaul soon they will be vulnerable when the Next Big Thing comes along.


In this course "Bible" will be synonymous with "Christian scripture(s)." Because of source criticism's development within academic circles, it has often been used without regard to important theological concerns such as the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture. I speak of a hero, but the central figure of pathos is often a woman or a child (or both, as in the death-scenes of Little Eva and Little Nell), and we have a whole procession of pathetic female sacrifices in English low mimetic fiction from Clarissa Harlowe to Hardy's Tess and James's Daisy Miller.
These "heads of society" have followers and servants, who seem to understand their madness, but do not possess it. More fundamentally, Descartes's philosophy represents a monumental shift from focusing on the text to focusing on the method of interpretation, where the individual is the rational, self-sufficient authority over the text and tradition. Daisy Maryles, "Behind the Bestsellers," Publishers Weekly, September 22, 1997, p. 21.
It would be equally rash on the one hand to reject all tradition and place faith only in written testimony or contemporary monuments, and on the other to accord to tradition an implicit confidence merely because it was not formally contradicted by other historical data, though it received from them no confirmation. I am not concerned about the decline of Judeo-Christian values in Germany, but I am concerned about all the Jews who thought that being modern meant swallowing the bitter pill of German devaluation of the Jewish heritage.
Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1976), p. 40. 16. Tachau, Peter. "Bible Study-Basis or Stumbling-Block: Observations in Philippine Theological Seminaries." Some poets feel they must create new words and syntactic modes, for how else can they say new things? Except in regard to the preservation of the sacred text there was nothing to elicit a critical view of the Bible in the age of the Fathers, and this applies also to the Scholastic period.
I hope that this intensive consideration of Southern California art and art history will serve as a model of engaged, collective work. There may be noticed a general tendency to react most strongly against the mode immediately preceding, and, to a lesser extent, to return to some of the standards of the modal grandfather. He is against the extremes and the "purple patches" (unnecessary parts of a poem) to keep the poetry simple and consistent.
The blurred or generalized meaning avoids that danger", I. Or even if He did know more than His age, He probably spoke as He did in accommodation with the ideas of His contemporaries! (Briggs, page 29). Supersonic Jerrie shut-down, Somalia photo essay rewards homeopathically. It seems that it is his rationalist bias against possible divine interventions that makes for him an objective historical judgment about Patristic historical method "well nigh impossible."
Next thing you know, he's back in government and it's a good idea to go into Iraq. These, next, have to be dealt with by the impartial weighing and balancing of authorities; a task involving new and delicate inquiries, and the application of fresh rules. He proposed that Jesus was a failure and that the disciples altered their stories in an attempt to make Jesus appear messianic and miraculous. This was established in the 19th century during the European Rationalism period.
In other words, Papias, Irenaeus and others may have attributed the gospels to apostolic individuals for reasons of theological pedigree. The student or research-worker must be permeated with an earnest desire to reach the truth and must be, as far as it lies within his power, indifferent to the results of his inquiry or criticism. For postmodernists like Rorty history has nothing to offer but particular examples. The historical self-consciousness both men cultivate as a means to contemporary social reform always and indeed primarily includes, for Ruskin, contemporary habits of seeing and reading.
Chesnutt, Margaret. "Joyces's Dubliners: History, Ideology, and Social Reality." How does this change others' reactions to them? Thinking Fragments: Psychoanalysis, Feminism and Postmodernism in the Contemporary West, 1990. For one thing, it illuminated the prominence of the exodus and warrior-god imagery of Israel's religion. The emphasis in criticism of this period on the reaction of the critic to the work under scrutiny led to the use of the term impressionistic criticism. Answer: Source criticism is a specialized field of biblical studies that seeks to determine the sources used to develop the final form of the biblical text.
Analytically speaking, history is "the past as such." This is how Benedict concludes his university lecture: "This attempt…at a critique of modern reason from within has nothing to do with putting the clock back to the time before the Enlightenment and rejecting the insights of the modern age. … The scientific ethos, moreover, is – as you yourself mentioned, Magnificent Rector – the will to be obedient to the truth, and, as such, it embodies an attitude which belongs to the essential decisions of the Christian spirit." Thus while for Kant critical reason appeals to transcendental law (while paradoxically insisting on the autonomy of the individual subject), Benedict gestures to a Christian life of obedience that accepts logos as at once persuasive reason and divine authority.
