ONLINE or RETAIL ARBITRAGE! What's better for an Amazon Seller?
Firstly, what is 'arbitrage' and what does it mean for your Amazon business?
Arbitrage is a selling-reselling process wherein a person purchases and subsequently sells commodities from and to distinct marketplaces, in order to leverage on the price differences at the two markets for the same commodities. Or simply put, arbitrage is exploiting the price mismatch of a product between two markets (generally situated cross borders). Under this, it is generally obligatory for the Amazon seller to first research the merchandise sale price inside and out, before purchasing it while also locating multiple sources for that commodity. So if you have just started selling on Amazon or have reached the stage where you want to raise your sales bar, arbitrage could be your ladder.
Now, arbitrage is of two types, 'Retail Arbitrage' (the conventional one) and 'Online Arbitrage' (the buzz word).
Retail Arbitrage, as mentioned earlier, refers to the conventional way of selling. That is, the source of a product is a physical brick and mortar store or outlet, a retail franchise or simply a backyard sale. An Amazon seller purchases an item (or in bulk) if offered a suitable price and then sells it elsewhere (probably at another brick and mortar store) with a margin of profit. Note that here if you make a bulk purchase, you typically will have to handle the transit, storage and delivery functions as well as the customers that throng your store but on the other hand, with retail you can take advantage of clearance and yard sales and also inspect the products personally than relying on the online seller's words.
On the other hand, Online Arbitrage is the smarter lad. Here, you find a commodity with price mismatch between two locations but the commodity is sourced online, probably from multiple sellers. So, you can market to and from people, online and simultaneously, with little to no logistics responsibility and expenses. Moreover you get the option to time your orders and buy & sell in more than one market, worldwide than relying on the customers marching into your store.
Which one's better for your Amazon business?
While reading about RA and OA, you must have understood that the main difference between the two is the presence and absence of a brick and mortar sources, respectively. The other difference being the ability to save on overhead charges like that on warehousing and shipping in case on OA. Thus, while it's absolutely fine to go with both RA and OA at the same time, if you choose to follow OA alone, you can get more bang for your buck(s). This is so because you have awesome sourcing options and tools with OA. The best examples being Alibaba, Made in China , Bossgoo etc, where you can find plenty of suppliers, place bulk orders that too at super low prices. Subsequently you get the convenience of selling them on Amazon at great profit margins.
But considering the fact that the prices on Amazon are already moderate, this could be an uphill task. Refer to our earlier blog on 'how to find the most money making product for selling on Amazon' for more help on sourcing a product and landing great deals for OA. Though not specifically mentioned as OA, in this link, the steps to find the product are listed in concurrence with OA only.
While many businesses run the retail and online stores simultaneously, not everyone is carved to sail with their feet in two different boats. Mentioned below are a few more reasons for you to choose OA over RA.
You know that the internet knows it all. It has your Sourcing options too! Some sourcing tools are paid, some free, but definitely aplenty. Plus you can source from across borders without stepping a foot out of the country.
The low cost of investment gives an upper hand to OA. You need little investment for buying the stock and save a lot on the warehousing, packaging and other overhead charges as in RA.
With online arbitraging there's a lot of time saved which could have been consumed in physically looking and locating source stores or then waiting for examining the products in your hands.
FBA takes good care of all the processes on your behalf. From receiving the stock up till the delivery to the buyer, everything will be taken care of by Amazon. A little fee for FBA can be a big boost to your practice.
Moreover, with online arbitraging you don't need to spend on shipping boxes or the dunnage as they will provided by the sourcing unit and you can have the products delivered directly to the FBA warehouse.
A Word of caution, dear arbitragers!
Arbitraging is a completely legal and sustainable process, but subject to a few conditions you need to be cautious of. Below, we have listed a few.
When arbitraging, you will be required to present an itemized invoice along with a full manufacturer's warranty for products sold as 'new', instead of the usual bulk invoices.
Suppliers or manufacturers in order to safe-keep their name in the market, could demand that their products be listed as 'Like New' or 'Purchased Retail' rather than 'New', for the reason that their products could be tempered with by the unauthorized seller (i.e. you) before reaching the buyer.
A higher risk strategy in arbitraging could land you an 'ex – Amazon seller' tag.
Some manufacturers may also disapprove of the practice of arbitrage and they have all the right to do so with respect to their products. Such manufacturers may get you suspended for the same.
The product must be shipped, tracked and delivered on time and appear to come from you.
Retail or online, whichever option you choose for your business, below is a set of advice for all arbitragers.
On Amazon, a beginner or not, if you are new to arbitraging, start with smaller steps. Keep your investment as low as the loss you can bear. With time and experience as an arbitrager, you will know from where and how to source, and the stock and sales volume you are capable of dealing with. Then gradually increase them with time.
Products with quick increase in price or demand may look alluring to invest in, but you need to sidestep them as they will also mean lower profit margin.
Keep in check the rules and regulations of Amazon trading, and be cautious of the situations we shared above.
Go FBA. Appoint as much staff as you need to carry out all the processes smoothly and under compliance and if it starts taking a toll on your profits, become an FBA merchant. It's always worth the investment and a huge time saver.
You must have heard of arbitraging from Amazon to ebay or vice versa. While some may preach it as a get-rich-quick, it is actually a cover practice and there's a big 'NO' from us.
Thus, the more compliant you are, the smoother the sail shall be!
At the end of it all, we conclude that arbitraging is definitely worth a try. Though you must not start arbitraging with the assumption of it being a 'get-rich-quick' strategy, you never know it could actually be your opportunity to make a fortune. However if you are unsure to take the lead, feel free to take assistance of an expert to take things even further.
who are definitely interested in this subject, especially this very post.
Your all so sweet in addition to thoughtful of others in addition to the fact that reading the blog posts is a great delight if you ask me.
And such a generous treat! Dan and I are going to have excitement making use of your points in what we have to do next week.

I have tried linking freetds packages, but it did not work. Is this error related with the XCode version? How to fix it? (The Python version is 2.7)

A: It seems that this error is related to the latest version of XCode. I installed an older version of XCode (9.4) and then installed pymssql successfully.

A: Open terminal
Install Homebrew package manager
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Install FreeTDS module
brew install FreeTDS

Install pymssql module
pip3 install pymssql

Hope this will help you guys.

Avon Emergency Services join forces for water exercise
Crews from Avon FRS' Red Watch Weston-super-Mare teamed up with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) for an exercise to test their response to an incident in the water in North Somerset.
'Exercise Muddy Waters' took place at at Uphill Beach and involved a number of live 'casualties' in need of rescue from the Bristol Channel.
Celebrate the Service's best innovation and collaboration at the 2015 Excellence in Fire and Emergency Awards - book your place at One Great George Street on 4 December: https://www.fire-magazine.com/fire-event/efe-awards-2015/
AF&RS Group Manager, Malcolm Hawthorn, said: "When we receive a call to someone in need of rescue from the North Somerset coastline we need to work closely with the RNLI and HM Coastguard to ensure we get the best possible results.
"We will be testing our co-working and our methods of transferring casualties along with our communications methods and equipment so that in the event of a real emergency we are ready to respond."
RNLI crews assisted the 'casualties' from the water and firefighters used the Service's hovercraft to take them up the beach to dry land.
Liam McDermott, Senior Volunteer Helmsman at Weston-super-Mare RNLI Station added: "We often work with the fire and rescue service when someone is in trouble. Training such as this, involving our lifeboats and the fire and rescue service's hovercraft, can make sure we are all aware of how we can work together to save lives at sea."

Q: Network devices unmanaged after resume from hibernation in Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 After confirmation that hibernation/resume worked well with sudo pm-hibernate, I enabled hibernatation on /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla to get the option in the session menu. Unfortunately, every time I hibernate this way, the network devices are all set to unmanaged and I have to reboot to get them work again.
Strangely, this problem doesn't happen when I use the command sudo pm-hibernate or when I just suspend. Does the hibernate menu item use a different command than pm-hibernate? Or maybe with different options? How can I make it work properly?

A: I'm having the same issue. killall NetworkManager is a workaround you can use.

I took these pictures last weekend when I was in the gorgeous town of Stratford for my brother's badminton tournament. If it hadn't started to rain, I would have taken way more pictures, but as is I almost didn't jam my camera into my purse in time to hide it from the downpour. Also discovered a sweet thrift store while exploring: +1 Hilary.
While I was in Stratford, my mom and I also attended a showing of Peter Pan, put on as part of the Stratford Festival. I hadn't been to any of the festival's plays since grade 10, so to go again was an amazing experience!


More and more young people will be single at age 40 — and they have their millennial status to thank.
That's the finding of an Urban Institute study that looked at marriage rates for previous generations and then projected them for younger folks. But don't start signing up for speed dating just yet, kids — your actual prediction depends a lot on factors other than your age.
The numbers: By age 40, 82% of women and 77% of men born in 1970 were ever married, according to the study. (Divorcees count in this measure.) The projections start to dip for those born in 1980, with 75% of women and 70% of men predicted to be married by age 40.
Things drop even further for millennials born in 1990. The Urban Institute predicts that just 69% of those women and 65% of those men will be married by 2030.
The reasoning: While some of this is due to changing social and cultural norms — even that Generation X marriage rate is down from 91% of Baby Boomer women who were married at age 40 — the decline for millennials can also be attributed to the recession and still-struggling economy. Marriage is expensive, and so is getting to a point in your life where you feel stable enough to consider it.
"For the millennial generation, there is concern that declines in marriage might be even sharper, because the economic shock of the recession put marriage on hold for many young adults and marriage rates are returning only slowly (if at all) to pre-recession levels," the study says.
Big differences: But marriage rates aren't the same across demographics. Thanks to those economic conditions, your education level can have a big impact on your marriage chances before age 40. For college graduates born in 1990, 79% of women and 78% of men are predicted to be married by that point. That's compared to 63% of women and 59% of men without a degree.
Race is also a big factor in the predictions. Less than half of black millennials will be married by 40, according to the study, compared to more than 70% for white millennials.
The takeaway: The U.S. is going to have to shift to accommodate lower marriage rates, especially when it comes to lower income citizens. That likely means more assistance will be necessary for single parent households. It also means more attention will have to be paid to making sure the marriage gap doesn't increase income inequality even further.


On Jan. 22, an email from Controller Penelope Farley outlined changes to student employment. This Student Employment Policy states students can work a maximum of 25 hours per week this semester. One goal of the change was to encourage supervisors to keep track of the total amount of hours student employees are working each week. However, the limit on hours is raising concerns among students and faculty.
This email stated the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was a main factor in this change. When a campus employee works 30 or more hours per week, they become eligible for the College's health insurance program under the ACA. With some students working multiple jobs on campus, many could qualify for coverage.
Although most students have school insurance or outside insurance coverage that does not exempt them from having the option of the College's health insurance program and its benefits.
Although the ACA was in fact a reason for the change in payment, academics were another influence.
New hours restrictions on student workers is leaving many employers short on manpower and many students short on paycheck.
"In extensive consultation with the Provost's Office, it was decided that students who worked more than 20-25 hours were at risk of compromising their academic studies, social engagement, and leadership and career development," said Hampton.
Since this change was made because some students were working 30 or more hours perweek, limiting employment hours may cause students to quit jobs or cut back hours at many jobs.
Though the Jan. 22 email explained the Student Employment Policy set a maximum of 25 hours per week this semester and a maximum of 20 hours per week beginning in the fall, Hampton said there are no plans to lower the maximum to 20 hours per week next semester.
If the students were able to work more than 30 hours a week during the school year, they would be unable to work full time on campus during the summer. "Since many students work for the College full-time during the summer, it was felt that the 25-hour limit was appropriate in that it limited the impact of student employment on academic work and progress and still allowed students to work full-time during the summer," said Hampton.
In efforts to involve the student opinion in this change, Provost and Dean Dr. Emily Chamlee-Wright met with senior and SGA Vice President Maddie Zins who voiced students' concerns regarding the changes. Zins intends to follow up with Dean ChamleeWright with more student input in the future.
For students who rely on more than 30 hours a week to help pay for school and other necessities, Hampton encourages them to visit the Financial Aid Office for additional help.

Peter Paul Rubens und der Barock im Norden
By Christoph Stiegemann, ed.
Cat. exh. Erzbischöfliches Diözesanmuseum, Paderborn, July 24, 2020 – October 25, 2020. Petersberg: Michael Imhof Verlag, 2020. 576 pp, numerous illus., mostly in color. ISBN 978-3-7319-0956-9.
Review published March 2021
The occasion for this exhibition, organized under the direction of Christoph Stiegemann, the actual director of the Erzbischöfliches Diözesanmuseum in the Westphalian city of Paderborn, was the fact that between 1655 and 1661 the brothers Antonius (1625–1691) and Ludovicus (1630–1702) Willemssens from Antwerp had executed three large altars for the choir of the local cathedral. While Antonius painted the altarpieces, his younger brother Ludovicus was responsible for their sculptural framework. Both artists had been entrusted with these prestigious tasks by the then prince-bishop of Paderborn, Dietrich Adolf von der Recke (1601–1661).
This event was of the greatest importance to Paderborn, for thus for the first time since the end of the Thirty Years' War a truly high baroque art style clearly based on Rubens was introduced in the Westphalian town. Although none of the two Willemssens brothers was, sensu stricto, a Rubens epigone, their imagery is undeniably influenced by the latter's art. Antonius's representation of The Birth of Christ, the painting to decorate the high altar, is clearly derived from Rubens through the medium of engraving, while the monumentality, plasticity and realistic expressivity that characterize Ludovicus's opulent altar frames seem unthinkable without the example of the heroic appearance of the characters in Rubens's great compositions. Thereby the starting point for Ludovicus Willemsens's style may have been the sculptural work of Artus Quellinus I (1609–1668), who in his oeuvre tried to reconcile the classicism of his master François Duquesnoy with the more dynamic expressivity of Antwerp's leading painter. Unfortunately, the impressive altar constructions of the Willemssens brothers do not exist any more. Save a few fragments, they were destroyed by allied bombing in the course of the last months of World War II.
The very impressive and beautifully laid out catalogue is divided into two clearly separate parts. In the first one a series of studies focus on the artistic situation in Antwerp during the Counter-Reformation era and the cultural situation in contemporary Paderborn and northwestern Germany, as well as the connections between both centers. The second part contains the entries of the proper catalogue, grouped more or less around the topics discussed in Part I.
The essays discuss the specific cultural importance of counter-reformatory Antwerp. Nils Büttner's informative essay on the artistic production in the city seamlessly connects to the article by Birgit Ulrike Münch on the role played in seventeenth-century Antwerp's artistic life by labor conditions and migration movements. In subsequent essays special attention is given to some specific art forms which were of great importance for the transmission of the "Rubensian" baroque idiom, in which a predominant role was played by graphic art and book illustration. Ursula Blanchebarbe discusses engraving, while Gitta Bertram focuses on Rubens's role as book illustrator in counter-reformatory theology and liturgy. But the Rubensian idiom was, of course, not only disseminated by prints but also by the plethora of copies of various sizes and prices of Rubens's compositions. In a well structured essay Justus Lange attempts to categorize these copies on the basis of the Rubens copies in the Gemäldegalerie at Kassel.
The following essays focus on Antwerp's role as an important center of baroque sculpture, aptly discussed by Frits Scholten, followed by a succession of essays by Jeffrey Chipps Smith, Meinrad von Engelberg, Jürgen Borsch, Tilman G. Moritz, Christoph Stiegemann, Gisela Tilly and Dirk Strohmann, all trying to explain how the "Barockisierung" of art and architecture evolved in Paderborn and the surrounding area. These contributions lead into an essay written in collaboration by Christoph Ehland, Lothar van Laak, Andreas Münzmay, Sabine Schmitz and Johannes Süssmann on characteristics of northern baroque art in general. The last essay by Alma Elisa Kittner deals with presumed baroque aspects of modern art.
In the exhibition itself only a small selection of Rubens's works was available to represent the art that would become the starting point for the Paderborn and Northwest German Baroque. An important number of these exhibits were oil sketches. Especially, the fine ensemble of four modelli for the lost ceiling paintings of Antwerp's former jesuit church must have been a true eye-catcher, the more so since these oil sketches are among the most impressive examples of the new dynamism that had begun to characterize Rubens's style from c. 1620 onward, which would prove so seminal for the further expansion of the high baroque style in northern Germany. The oil sketches are discussed by Nils Büttner who insightfully interprets them in the wider context of the Antwerp Jesuit church as a Gesamtkunstwerk.
The many aspects of counter-reformatory culture in northwestern Germany, of which the new interior decoration of the Paderborn Dom formed only one specific example, were well illustrated by beautiful liturgical vessels and garments, while the Antwerp roots could be clearly understood from well chosen examples illustrating the rich and varied output of Antwerp baroque engraving. The descriptions in the catalogue entries are sound and detailed. In a few number of cases, however, it might have been useful to find somewhat more detailed evidence as underpinning for the attribution, deattribution or dating of certain pieces. A case which especially struck me was that of the wood sculpture representing Honos (cat. no. 93) which so far was rather generally considered to be executed by Hans van Mildert after a drawing by Rubens from c. 1612–15, also shown in the exhibition (cat. no. 92). In his entry the author Léon van Liebergen states that the allegorical sculpture has nothing to do with Van Mildert's style and should be dated in the eighteenth century. This interesting statement would have been more convincing if the author could have given a more detailed explanation, e.g. by also referring to technological information or a condition report.

I am about to take the dog for his morning walk at a place called Teller Farm that has literally become a sacred respite to me in the past 5 years. An old homestead, once worked with no doubt sweat and tears. Saved for the modern people of the Boulder area to enjoy. What vast differences between the lives of those people that farmed and ranched for a living there, and those that enjoy it now. That land meant life and food on the table, and no doubt everything. Perhaps that is why it is such a solace to visit. Preserved land that we know somewhere down deep inside is life, and yet is eaten up and covered in housing and concrete and strip malls in the name of progress. It is a respite to go back to that mindset, where the sounds of all the birds, the water running over rocks, the wind in the cottonwoods is all you hear. I truly don't think my time here in Colorado would have been so special or enjoyable without Teller Farm. It gave me daily time to think, to ponder, to pray and to just let the landscape be bigger and more important than what was going on in my life and head for a little bit. It gave me a place to walk and talk with God. Something that takes silence, which is why most people feel they can't hear Him.
When we chose the name RIVERS AND ROADS, I was mostly picturing all the journeys we have taken, all the roads and rivers we all take. I was thinking of us making each person's journey that much more enjoyable, meaningful and purposeful by putting the emphasis on the excitement of not knowing what's around the bend, and being ok when there is a break down or rough water. That still stands, but this morning I am also remembering that a very special road, or river, that you visit all the time- one that you begin to know so well that you notice when the water is running higher or lower, or you wait for the grasses to change with the season, or you simply notice when a depression in the road is filled or not filled with rainwater. Visiting the same road or river, on purpose, because it has become sacred is also a very beautiful thing. We must be careful to choose the places that bring us peace and fill our souls. It makes me sad when I visit and revisit roads that do not bring peace. But this morning I will celebrate all that this path, and the creek at Teller Farm has been to me. If you don't have one of those places. I highly recommend you look for one now. We all need a place that feels known, where we can be alone with our thoughts and talk to the Creator.

US singled out by G7 allies over steel and aluminum tariffs
By Insider Last updated Jun 3, 2018 208
WHISTLER, British Columbia — The United States was singled out by some of its closest allies Saturday over the imposition of tariffs that they warn will undermine open trade and weaken confidence in the global economy.
The dispute over U.S. President Donald Trump's new levies on steel and aluminum imports is driving a wedge in the G7 group of industrial nations.
Following Saturday's conclusion of a three-day meeting of G7 finance ministers, Canadian Finance Minister Bill Morneau issued a summary saying the other six members want Trump to hear their message of "concern and disappointment" over the U.S. trade actions.
Allies including Canada and the European Union are threatening retaliatory tariffs.
The G7 ministers urged U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to deliver their message before leaders of the group's member countries meet next week in Quebec.
Ministers urged the U.S. to abandon the tariffs ahead of the leaders' summit before the move causes deeper divisions within the G7.
"The international community is faced with significant economic and security issues, which are best addressed through a united front from G7 countries," said the summary, which was agreed to by the attending ministers.
"Members continue to make progress on behalf of our citizens, but recognize that this collaboration and co-operation has been put at risk by trade actions against other members," it added.
Bruno Le Maire, France's finance and economy minister, was blunt in his assessment of the Whistler meeting, where ministers confronted Mnuchin.
"It has been a tense and tough G7 — I would say it's been far more a G6 plus one than a G7," said Le Maire, who called the tariffs unjustified.
"We regret that our common work together at the level of the G7 has been put at risk by the decisions taken by the American administration on trade and on tariffs," he said.
Mnuchin disagreed with Le Maire.
"I think there was a comment out there that (this was) the G6 plus one. It was not. … We believe in the G7, it's an important group," Mnuchin said at his own news conference. "I'm sure that the president looks forward to coming to Canada and meeting all the other leaders with many, many important issues going on throughout the world."
Morneau, who presided at the ministerial meeting in Whistler, said even though the group found common ground on many subjects, G7 members are now forced to do whatever they can to persuade Trump to withdraw the tariffs.
"They actually are destructive. And that's consistently held across the six countries that expressed their point of view to Secretary Mnuchin," Morneau told reporters.
The U.S. president has said the tariffs are needed to protect U.S. steel and aluminum industries vital to the nation's security.
Morneau has called the tariffs "absurd," saying Canadian metal sales are no security risk to the U.S. He warns the measures will destroy jobs on both sides of the border.
Le Maire said it is up to the U.S. to take action to rebuild confidence among G7 members and to avoid any escalation during the leaders' summit next week.
That meeting, which will be hosted by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, will be Trump's first visit to Canada as president.

In recent weeks my Grandfather has developed a penchant for divulging a number of his favourite Clement Freud anecdotes. His favourite story concerns a trip Freud made to Mexico. Whilst in Mexico, Freud thought he would sample the delights of a true Central American Chilli, something he soon regretted. After ordering 'six bottled of beer in quick succession', Freud advised the chef that it may be best to warn visitors about the deadly speciality. The chef replied that 'the ratio [of chilli to meat] was about one to one.' Had Freud wanted his chilli with only a little spice the chef said that 'there was an American place just down the road.' I think it's rather a humorous little tale, though perhaps you'll disagree if you are an American. Anyway, a deep interest on the writings of Freud developed within, and I asked to borrow my Grandfather's copy of 'Freud of Food'. To my delight I discovered that my taste in humour shared an even closer affinity to that of Freud's, when I discovered a section entitled, 'Give The Wife A Break'.
In Freud's book I discovered a recipe which makes use of green lentils. As you all know, I'm rather reluctant to post recipes which have been devised by others. As such, I decided to run with the idea of green lentils, but make the recipe my own. At this point I remembered that cider goes perfectly in dishes like this, and purchased two bottles of fairly dry, strong apple cider – one for the dish, one for myself. One cannot emphasise enough the need for a fairly dry, if not very dry, cider in this recipe. You should really be aiming for at least 5.5% alcohol content. Cider which contains less alcohol generally isn't what I would describe as cider. After all, cider is made with apples which contain a lot of sugar. Sugar is what determines the alcohol content of a drink. If it has an alcohol content of between 4% and 5%, then it hasn't been fermented for long enough. I used a bottle of cider which dated back to 2010 and had an alcohol content of 8.2% – that's the proper stuff.
1. Begin by frying the onion and leek in a good slug of olive oil. Cook for 5 minutes before adding the carrot, cook for a further 2 minutes.
2. Stir in the green lentils, do not forget to rinse them. Pour in the cider and 100ml of the stock, before adding the bay leaves, thyme and butter. Simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the lentils are to your personal taste. One may need to add the remaining vegetable stock before serving. Season to taste.
Cost: Lentils are ridiculously cheap, something I have purported any number of times. Since vegetables are also cheap, one can assume that such a dish will be rather easy on one's wallet. Cider is probably the most expensive ingredient here, though it's often on sale. Assuming that a bottle of dry cider will set you back no more than £1.80, at a high estimate, this meal should set one back no more than around £2.70.
Delicious. I think Sigmund would be quite proud of his grandson, don't you? Absolutely enjoyed the way you set the scene for this particular dish. I think Sir Clement would be delighted… also with your choice of truly hard cider perhaps!
thanks! Oh yes, he would. I think this is one of my favourite blogs from a writing perspective.
looks great – will have to try this.
Everyone seems to be doing lentils! I'm making a peti sale tomorrow. This looks great!
Ah, thanks! I shall keep them coming! I'm so glad I give you good memories.
Thanks – you should. It was wonderful. I've tried Asturian cider, it was delicious – though perhaps not as good as the English stuff.
This looks absolutely fantastic! I'll definitely be making this.
Great feature pic, FF. That is an amazing saucepan you cooked in. It looks like a dutch oven saucepan??! Is there such a thing?
Thanks! I wasn't so sure to begin with. Yes, it is that sort of thing… I love it.
I have to add my voice of congratulations here. Great writing. Great photography and the bonus of using budget ingredients. Given that the IMF now owns Ireland, I suspect I will need all the budget recipes I can get my hands on!
Your soup looks delicious. I've never tried cider in a soup. Thanks for contacting me last week, it's fun to be part of the blogger set.
Thanks! It was yummy. You should totally give it a go.
Love lentils and everything else about this recipe.
Thanks, so much! It was really delicious.
I've never had hard cider so I can't really begin to imagine the taste of this entire dish – but it LOOKS wonderful and I know you'd never feed us anything that wasn't!
Oh my lord, get some! It is so good. Though, it may take you a few bottles to refine your taste! Of course I wouldn't!
I have been looking for a lentil recipe – may have to give this one a whirl. Thanks for sharing!
Please do, it was delicious.
Your stew looks delicious! Dry cider and lentils, what a great combination!
Thanks! It really is a great combination of flavours – I was very pleased.
Hi, my name's Greg and I'm an American. That's so true about the American restaurants. If you want a Mexican place to serve it like they would to Mexicans, you have to tell them sometimes. It is a proven fact that the more North you go the more sensitive your hot-sensing taste buds are. I'm happy to represent the whole of North America today! Also, this stew looks great. Hi to Rufus.
Ah, that is unfortunate :D. Glad you like the look of this. To be honest, I couldn't deal with a proper Mexican chili.
Ha, while flitting between your blog and Natalie's I just said hi to her dog. I resign my post as North American ambassador effective immediately. It's clearly too much responsibility.
it looks so comforting….love the rustic feel.
Yes, leave it a while longer – the drier the better.
I wish good cider was easier to get and less pricey here in the States: I would love to use it in cooking. Maybe Cecilia will tell me how she pressed and fermented hers.
Ah, that is a shame. better not to use it at all, then. I think cider is relatively easy to make.
Love the look of this stew. Looks so warm and comforting. Perfect with a piece of crusty warm bread!
Thanks! It was completely that. Oh yes, definitely.
I'm offended by this story!!
Damn, I shall have to try harder next time. So glad you like!
This looks divine! What a beautiful and comforting, healthy dish. Makes me want to grab a spoon, reach in the picture and take a bite!
Thanks, that's exactly why I made it – though it would make most drunk I expect :D. Don't do that, it won't work.
Thanks, Sydney. It was absolutely divine.
Oh, the colours in those photos! Delightful!!
Thanks, Movita. I was very pleased with the way it turned out.
What a great idea to add cider to this! It probably adds that perfect amount of sweetness. Yum!
Oh it does, not too much – just right.
Thanks, Kay. I'm glad you think so! this was a truly delicious stew.
Me too, it was wonderful.
Hard cider and lentil, that's a great idea. Your soup looks absolutely delicious and comforting.
I got reccomended your blog by Kimby. As a fellow male food blogger, I'm very impressed! I've got a bottle of cider sitting in my fridge waiting for inspiration, and this is it – consider this recipe bookmarked.
i love this combination of green lentils and cider.. i bet the flavors all balance each other nicely .. so perfect for this cold weather!
Thanks! I do too, it was delicous.
Found this post on Grannies weekend highlights. It looks so good … cider would give it beautiful flavour….and perfect for this frigid weekend!
Awesome! I'm so grateful that people link to my blog! It really does, especially if one uses a good, strong cider.
Nice recipe and gorgeous photos. I'm envious! Also loving the low-cost theme.
Thanks! Yes, it keeps my wallet healthy.
That was absolutely delicious! Served it with some grilled polenta.
Fantastic – that sounds lovely.

Gamel's walk-off hit gives Brewers win in wild finish
Reuters Wisconsin
Image Credit: Twitter(@Brewers)
Pinch hitter Ben Gamel one-hopped the right-field fence with walk-off double with two outs in the ninth inning Saturday night, giving the host Milwaukee Brewers a 5-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants. After the Giants had rallied to tie the score with two runs in the top of the inning, Ryan Braun reached base on an error by San Francisco shortstop Brandon Crawford to lead off the bottom of the ninth against the Giants' sixth pitcher, Reyes Moronta (3-5).
Moronta then got two outs before walking Keston Hiura, then serving up Gamel's game-winning hit on a 2-2 pitch, the Brewers' third walk-off win of the season. Jeremy Jeffress (3-2), who allowed the game-tying runs in the top of the ninth and was charged with his second blown save of the season, was credited with the win.
Mike Moustakas, Jesus Aguilar, and Hiura lashed consecutive doubles in a three-run eighth inning that helped give the Brewers a 4-2 lead and put them in prime position to win. In the ninth, pinch hitter Stephen Vogt got the big hit off Jeffress, an RBI single that was booted by Brewers center fielder Lorenzo Cain, allowing a second -- and game-tying -- run to score.
Neither starting pitcher allowed an earned run and each exited with the score tied at 1-1. Giants left-hander Madison Bumgarner was the first to get pulled after he'd watched a game-tying run score on a two-out error by second baseman Joe Panik in the fifth inning. Bumgarner allowed seven hits in his five innings, with one walk and six strikeouts. Brewers right-hander Zach Davies was even better, giving up just two hits in six innings. He walked two and struck out five.
Davies' error on a ball hit by leadoff hitter Brandon Belt contributed to the Giants' first run, as Belt scored on a Mike Yastrzemski sacrifice fly in the first inning. Cain collected three hits, while Moustakas, Aguilar, and Hiura had two apiece for the Brewers, who won for just the ninth time in their last 25 games. Austin Slater, who did not start the game, went 2-for-2 for the Giants, who won three of their first four meetings with the Brewers this season.

Good practice as described by the by the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education was also considered when developing this policy and process (OIA Guidance).
Q5: The provider actively engages students, individually and collectively, in the quality of their educational experience.
Q6: The provider has fair and transparent procedures for handling complaints and appeals which are accessible to all students.
Office of the Independent Adjudicator (OIA) Guidance
Ref: http://www.oiahe.org.uk/media/96361/oia-good-practice-framework.pdf
OIA guidance includes guidance on the following principles; accessibility, clarity, proportionality, timeliness, fairness, confidentiality and improving the student experience.
Policy Aims:
1. To enable the learner to enquire, question or appeal against an assessment decision
2. To attempt to reach agreement between the learner and the Assessor at the earliest opportunity
3. To standardise and record any appeal to ensure openness and fairness
4. To facilitate a learner's ultimate right of appeal to the Awarding Body and the Office of the Independent Adjudicator (BTEC Level 4-Level 7), where appropriate
5. To protect the interests of all learners and the integrity of the qualification.
1.1 In order to do this, Results will:
1.1.1 Inform the learner at induction, of the Appeals Policy and procedure
1.1.2 Record, track and validate any appeal
1.1.3 Forward the appeal to the Awarding Body when a learner considers that a decision continues to disadvantage her/him after the internal appeals process has been exhausted
1.1.4 Keep appeals records for inspection by the Awarding Body for a minimum of 18 months
1.1.5 Have a staged appeals procedure
1.1.6 Will take appropriate action to protect the interests of other learners and the integrity of the qualification, when the outcome of an appeal questions the validity of other results
1.1.7 Monitor appeals to inform quality improvement.
2.1 Students should note that this procedure applies to appeals against an Assessment Board decision only. Students wishing to claim Extenuating Circumstances, prior to the submission of work should use the Extenuating Circumstances Procedure, HEDEL3.
2.2 The Results Academic Board is responsible for the implementation of this procedure.
2.3 The Results academic appeal process has four possible stages:
STAGE 1: Appeal Consideration
STAGE 2: Formal Conciliation
STAGE 3: Formal Review by the Director of Studies
STAGE 4: Appeal Review Panel
2.4 Students who wish to appeal against a decision of an Assessment Board must follow this procedure.
2.5 An appeal may only be made on the following grounds:
2.5.1 The assessment was not conducted in accordance with the current regulations for the programme, or there has been a material administrative error or some other material irregularity relevant to the assessments has occurred.
2.5.2 For a student with a disability or additional need, the initial needs assessment was not correctly carried out, or the support identified was not provided, or the agreed assessment procedures for that student were not implemented.
2.6 Appeals will not be accepted on the grounds of disagreement with the academic judgement of an assessment board. These judgements are the exclusive prerogative of the Assessment Board.
2.7 Students who wish to make an Academic Appeal should first contact the Programme Leader who will offer information advice and guidance on the situation and refer the students to this policy and procedure. This is STAGE 1: Appeal Consideration
2.8 A student wishing to appeal against a decision made by an Assessment Board must:
2.8.1	Notify the Programme Leader, in writing, of their decision to appeal within ten working days of the publication of the relevant Assessment Board decision.
2.8.2	Fully complete an Academic Appeal Form (HEQA12) and return it to the Programme Leader.
2.8.3	The Programme Leader will arrange a conciliation meeting between the student and the chair of the relevant Assessment Board. This meeting should be convened within ten working days of the student lodging the appeal and must be attended by the student.
2.8.4	The conciliation meeting will attempt to resolve the appeal.
2.8.5	This is STAGE 2: Formal Conciliation
2.9 The Results Programme Leader will maintain a log of all academic appeals reported to him/her and inform the Director of Studies of all appeals when they are resolved at STAGE 1, or when the appellant informs Results that they have elected to progress to STAGE 2 of the process. All appeals logged and details of resolutions will be reported annually to the Governing Body by the Director of Studies.
2.10 If a student is dissatisfied with the outcome of the conciliation meeting they should submit the completed Academic Appeal Form (HEQA12) to the Director of Studies for formal review. The completed form must be submitted to the Director of Studies within five working days. The Director of Studies will only review appeals that have progressed through Stage 1 and 2 of the process described in this procedure. This is STAGE 3: Formal Review by the Director of Studies.
2.11 The Director of Studies will consider the information collected before and during the stage 2 investigation and recorded as part of the process. He/she will consider whether the appeals procedure has been correctly followed and whether the outcome was reasonable
2.12 New material evidence will not normally be admitted for consideration at stage 3 of the process. Where the student can provide valid reasons why new evidence was not made available earlier in the process, the Director of Studies may include it in the review
2.13 Where the Director of Studies was directly involved in the stage 2 investigation, the matter will be considered by an alternative senior manager within Results.
2.14 The Director of Studies or his/her deputy (see 2.13) will communicate the outcome of his/her review to the student concerned in writing. Every effort will be made to complete the process in a timely manner with the expectation that the process will take no more than one calendar month.
2.15 Where a student is dissatisfied with the outcome of the Formal Review by the Director of Studies, they may write to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Results and request an Appeal Panel. The CEO will only consider such requests where the Formal Conciliation (stage 2) and the Review by Director of Studies (stage 3) have been completed and the student is in receipt of written outcomes of investigations and reviews. The student request for an Appeal Review Panel will be acknowledged within 3 working days of receipt.
2.16 An Appeal Review Panel will be convened by the CEO and its decisions on the appeal handling process and appellant outcomes will be communicated in a Completion of Procedures letter which will include details of further steps the student may take if he/she remains dissatisfied. The Appeal Review Panel will be convened by the CEO and will include the CEO, other members of staff that the CEO believes appropriate to co-opt onto the panel, plus, at the CEO's discretion if deemed appropriate, an independent third party. The Appeal Review Panel will have completed its review and a Completion of Procedures letter will be sent to the student within one calendar month of receipt of a valid student request for an Appeal Panel.
2.17 Where the student has received a Completion of Procedures letter and is dissatisfied with the outcome, he/she may request that either:
2.17.1 the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education (OIA) examines the appeal
2.17.2 the Awarding Organisation (for example Pearson) examines the appeal.
2.18 Following the OIA process does not prevent students from pursuing an appeal with Pearson and they may choose whichever route(s) they feel is the most appropriate.
2.19 Pearson information about appeals is available at:
https://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/Support/policies-for-centres-learners-and-employees/Enquiries_and_Appeals_on_Pearson_Vocational_Qualifications.pdf
2.20 Students are advised that the OIA should be considered as the service of last resort and cannot normally examine complaints where:
2.20.1 The appeal has not been progressed through all stages of the organisation's Student Appeals Procedure (as described above).
2.20.2 The appeal refers to matters more than three years old
2.20.3 More than 12 months have passed since the student received the Completion of Procedures letter
2.20.4 Matters have been, or are being considered in court
2.21 The OIA's rules and guidelines are available on its website: www.oiahe.org.uk


Hoyos Labs, one of the most discussed names in mobile biometrics technology, revealed that Koopjesdrogisterij, an online pharmaceutical supplies company based in the Netherlands, is currently utilizing their new biometric recognition platform called 1U accompanied by the 1U app. The platform supports a plethora of modalities, including fingerprint, iris, voice, facial recognition, and their signature technology: the 4-fingerID. ABI Research analysts spoke with Hoyos Labs during the 2015 Biometric Conference in London (14th October) and had a chance to assess their fabled 4-fingerID, which essentially is the biometric version of taking a photo of a user's four fingers as a new means of authentication. With the industry pushing for more innovating and secure biometric solutions, it looks like Hoyos Labs set such an agenda in the horizon.


What's the opposite of a hoarder?
Me. I am th e opposite of a hoarder. Regretful would be another antonym. Illogical. Dumb. Want me to keep going? Improvident. Shortsighted.
Over the years I've donated, lost, given, and thrown away more stuff than I can remember. At this point I feel lucky to have the barest of essentials still in my possession. My proclivity for off-loading is astonishing and far reaching. My closet has an echo. Even my computer is a barren landscape. A very few digital files of a legal nature populate the hard drive, other than that, booosh, clean as a whistle. Emails don't linger, either; I keep the friends who send them, though.
And books, I cling to those like the luxuries they are. I had to draw the line somewhere, didn't I? How could I donate To Kill a Mockingbird or The Book Thief or Little Green Men? Well, I couldn't and I didn't. And I won't.
The thing is, I've moved a lot. Fourteen times since '94, twenty-two moves in all. A person gets tired of hauling stuff around. The movers, those strong, helpful, heroic men and women, always make out like bandits. Always. Neighbors, too. Anyone who enters my field of vision when the mood strikes doesn't escape empty-handed. I pressed my old lawn mower, a benighted apparatus if ever there was one, on a dog walker. The UPS guy, who showed up on Moving Eve, got off lightly, carting a pair of floor lamps. Upon my neighbors I bestowed a fireplace screen and accompanying tools. All they needed was a fireplace. Did I dream of becoming a not-for-profit wholesaler as a kid? It's possible.
Believe it or not, there is an upside here. Housework takes minutes if you're a clean freak, seconds if you're not. But vacuuming takes longer now, there's more carpet when there's less furniture. And, if the opportunity presented itself, I could move to Ibiza tomorrow. I'm no longer held captive by and anchored to stuff. There's a certain freedom, a liberation to downsizing, even when it's unintentional. A happy accident.
All that's missing are the opportunities to travel light now that I can. I'm ready for adventure and excitement and a change of scenery. Perhaps there's a Department of Traveling Light I should notify? Oh, yoohoo, I'm available now. Please get in touch via the Comment Box below. And, be a dear, what's the dress code there?
Haha! Given how often I move, I'm like 79% jealous of this trait of yours. The other 21% of me has an irrational love for material things.
Hiya, Nick. Packing and unpacking boxes became a full-time job. Every time I moved, I'd unpack fewer boxes, knowing I'd end up packing them again. I started to feel like I was living in a storage unit or a furniture warehouse. But I won't lie, it was hard to part with a lot of the stuff and I still miss so many things. Good luck to you.
We are currently moving and tried desperately to "down-size" as you describe. We didn't get there. We wanted to, we sold a lot of furniture on craigslist for next to nothing, but we couldn't get rid of the books and the music CDs and the office files and kitchen stuff and the photos and the pictures and the artwork and, well, we just didn't make it.
Ah, artwork and photos, I still miss those dearly, so very dearly. Kitchen stuff, I figure as long as there are paper plates and plastic forks I'm good to go, but not everyone shares my opinion. I love your saying, Mr. Leonard, mind if I steal it?
Knowing I have vacuuming on my lists of tasks to tackle tomorrow, I'd love to have less in the house at the moment. More floorspace may mean more vacuuming, but more objects on the floorspace means more stopping – moving – vacuuming – stopping – replacing – vacuuming – stopping – moving … well, you get the idea. Dog hair knows no boundaries…. moving items is required.
Oh boy, well, good luck. A friend turned me on to Static Guard — it makes picking up pet hair a whole lot easier. Worked for me.
The opposite of hoarder is Minimalist (Though I do realize the question was rhetorical)- which, is what I classify myself as being. The way my Mum and sister over-decorate makes me twitchy, so being stuck housesitting for the latter the last month and a half is about to frazzle my last nerve. Even if I took fully half the things off walls and surfaces, there would STILL be too much crap for my liking.
However, you take Minimalism to a whole different level: SPARTAN. Which is admirable.
Okay, I'm leaving now. Leave the light on. Oh, and dressy means no elastic waist, right?
My parents are facing the same problem right just now .. they have to move to a house half the size of what they have now, and they've no idea what to do with their stuff.
Moving, that's the problem. I wish them luck, Até.
In almost twenty years of marriage we have moved ten times — one place we were only in there for 9 months (shuddering as I remember the silverfish . . . ) One time we had a garage sale to downsize a bit (and several since). My mom was horrified we could just sell our stuff like that. She and my dad have lived in the same house for 44 years and my mom still has every single wedding present they were given and she can tell you who gave it to them. I can't even remember what I had for breakfast yesterday . . .
Hi, writerwannabe, moving is a nightmare, but it forces us to thin the herd once in a while. Even so, I'd like to stop soon. Thanks for an interesting comment.
We've been in the same home for 26 years, but are thinking seriously about down-sizing (I started my blog to have a place to 'put' all the recipes I had collected over the years – so that I could throw away the magazines which were/are bristling with post-it notes).
The transition was a challenge, but I like not having to walk sideways. It's a nice change.

We will not clobber motorists to fund bus routes policy, Corbyn insists
UK News | Published: Apr 25, 2019
Analysis by the Campaign for Better Transport shows more than 3,000 bus routes have been cut back or withdrawn since 2010.
Jeremy Corbyn visits Nottingham
Jeremy Corbyn has insisted Labour's new policy to reverse cuts to 3,000 bus routes in England and Wales will not "clobber" motorists.
The party said the £1.3 billion per year policy would be funded by revenue from Vehicle Excise Duty.
Despite the Conservatives claiming that Labour would have to "clobber motorists with tax hikes and slash funding for road repairs", Mr Corbyn said he would "not be clobbering anybody".
Today we're announcing funding of £1.3 billion per year to reverse the cuts and expand bus services. pic.twitter.com/0rGC03652P
— Jeremy Corbyn (@jeremycorbyn) April 25, 2019
Launching the new policy in Nottingham on Thursday, Mr Corbyn said: "What we're doing is trying to help the whole community by ensuring there's good public transport.
"We've moved on a bit since Margaret Thatcher once said anyone on a bus over the age of 25 is a failure.
"I think people on a bus is a success."

Analysis by the Campaign for Better Transport shows more than 3,000 bus routes have been cut back or withdrawn since 2010, amid a 45% reduction in local authority bus budgets.
Addressing the laughter from some MPs after raising the issue of buses in Parliament, Mr Corbyn said: "There was an intake of breath, particularly from Tory MPs, it was bizarre.
"I raised the question of buses because everybody needs to get around and a lot of people need buses because they haven't got cars.
"A lot of people just laughed because MPs… live in a slightly different bubble where the only transport they use is trains or taxis.
"Buses to them are just something that block up the road. They're not. They are an essential form of transport.
"So I was happy to raise it because I feel very strongly about it."
JUST ANNOUNCED: Labour will bring back bus services lost to Tory cuts. On board? Share this ? pic.twitter.com/CbCFnVm28U
— The Labour Party (@UKLabour) April 25, 2019
Department for Transport figures show the number of local bus passenger journeys in England fell by 85 million or 1.9% to 4.36 billion in the year ending March 2018.
Free bus passes for off-peak travel are a legal entitlement for people aged over 65, or those with a disability.
Commenting on the Lords committee suggesting stopping free bus passes for pensioners to use the money for the younger generation, Mr Corbyn said: "No. We're going to keep bus passes for pensioners.
"We're going to keep them because they are the right thing to do to encourage and enable older people to get around, but there has to be a bus and train service where appropriate to provide for that service.
"I think the sense of liberation of older people being able to travel anywhere, to get out more, to – obviously hospital appointments and things like that – but also visiting family friends is very important.
"Loneliness is also a big problem, particularly for older people. A good transport system helps to reduce loneliness and improves community integration."

Lufthansa Cargo, Fuel Emergency Forces Landing
A Lufthansa Cargo McDonnell Douglas MD-11, registration D-ALCM performing flight GEC-8408 (dep Nov 5th) from Novosibirsk (Russia) to Shanghai Pudong (China), was on final approach to Pudong's runway 34R at 02:23L (18:23Z Nov 5th) when the crew went around when they could not establish visual contact with the runway at minimums. The aircraft positioned for another approach to runway 35R, but went around a second time from minimums at 02:40L (18:40Z) about 17 minutes after the first go-around. The aircraft entered a hold at 900 meters (2900 feet), then positioned for a third approach to Pudong's runway 35R and touched down at 03:15L (19:15Z) about 52 minutes after the first go around. The aircraft rolled out without incident and taxied to the apron.
China's CAAC reported in a safety bulletin, that low visibility procedures were in effect due to fog. RVR for runway 34R at 02:24L was 1500 meters, RVR for runway 35R at 02:41L was 175 meters and below CAT II minima. Air Traffic Control recommended to divert to Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport about 24nm west of Pudong Airport, the crew declined however reporting they were low on fuel with 30 minutes remaining. The crew instead decided to attempt another approach to Pudong's runway 35R, at that time RVR was 200 meters, the controllers reminded the crew the weather conditions were still below minimum conditions required for the approach. The crew performed an emergency landing at 03:16L and rolled out safely with 1.6 tons of fuel, about 15-20 minutes endurance remaining.
On Apr 3rd 2017 Germany's BFU reported in their November Bulletin (erroneously stating the aircraft landed on Nov 5th 2016 03:16L) that the airport was covered in fog causing a number of missed approaches. The crew declared emergency due to low fuel and performed another ILS CAT II approach to Pudong's runway 35R and landed. Following landing about 2.0 tons of fuel were remaining on board, the required minimum fuel reserve was 3.3 tons. The BFU have accredited a representative to the investigation of China's CAAC.
The occurrence aircraft was involved in another landing below minimum fuel reserve on Jun 5th 2016 in Mexico, see Incident: Lufthansa Cargo MD11 at Mexico City and Acapulco on Jun 5th 2016, landed below final fuel reserve and dropped a nose wheel in Argentina on Nov 10th 2016, see Accident: Lufthansa Cargo MD11 at Buenos Aires on Nov 10th 2016, dropped left nose wheel upon touchdown.

Have you ever had an idea and then ruminated on the idea for hours, days, or even years? Never knowing if the idea was a good idea, a wishful idea beyond your capabilities, or something you could never dream of doing? Probably so, I think most of us have anyway.
But what differentiates those that take action toward the next step of manifesting something they may not think is possible, while others only think about taking action?
Why do some people feel compelled to take a risk with an uncertain outcome, when others cling to safety?
Why do some people thrive on individuality, while others look to be part of the crowd?
I'm not sure, but what I do know is being able to take risks when others are afraid, believing in an idea when others don't believe, and being willing to fail when others won't even try is a tricky balance between being courageous and ridiculous. Knowing your limits can be a challenge. Clearly the men who walked on the moon will be revered forever, and the designers of the Titanic while well intentioned, not so much.
What does this have to do with PuraKai?
First there is a commonality among all of those who surf, fish, freedive, spearfish, stand up paddle, or kayak, in that they do so at their own risk, and depending on how far they want to take that risk, surfing huge waves, freediving hundreds of feet on a single breath, catching a 300lb+ yellowfin tuna, or stand up paddling between hawaiian Islands, they are all seeking an authentic experience that requires courage and strength, coupled with risk and uncertainty.
Secondly, there is a special breed of Watermen that are outliers, individuals that are doing things in the ocean that have never been done before. I'm lucky enough to know two individuals personally, and I hope to be able to convince them that being part of PuraKai will be worth their time. Hopefully I will be able to make an announcement in the weeks ahead. I think you'll find they exemplify the spirit of PuraKai, not only by their actions in their chosen sport, but by their commitment to helping educate others and create awareness about the troubles our oceans face.
Lastly, PuraKai is my dream, it's an idea I've carried around for over ten years. I have ruminated on this idea for a long time, I have woken up in the middle of the night with ideas, thoughts and desires I could only think of doing, I didn't have the courage to take the action necessary to manifest my idea into a reality, I was afraid to take the risk. Time will tell if taking action on this idea will be a blessing, or another learning lesson in entrepreneurship, but if there is anything I have learned in my life it's that tomorrow is not guaranteed, we only have today, and today is the day I take the next step.
