Reorganizing our Foundation Structure
Last year I reported that three new directors were added to our previous complement of 9 to improve our representation across Canada and add French-speaking volunteers. This move also recognized the "merging" of MCI (IEEE Montreal Conferences Inc.) volunteer and financial resources with those of the former IEEC Inc. which evolved into our foundation in the early 1990's. We also expanded our committee structure and prepared bylaw changes to reflect our new structure. I am pleased to report that the IEEE Executive Committee approved our revised bylaws at their February 2005 meeting. The approved version was the one approved at the December 2004 meeting of the IEEE Canadian Foundation Board of Directors, and is currently posted on our web site at the bottom of the English version of the "Directors" page. One of the changes requested by IEEE and agreed to by your directors was to use the term "Member Emeritus" instead of "Honorary Member" because the latter term is in use by IEEE as a membership grade.
Growing as a Canada-wide Foundation
Directed donations from IEEE Canada-related organizations have increased our capital base from about $700,000 to just over $1,000,000. The new awards are posted on our web site, as is our new "Endowment Policy". Other awards are likely to be added in the future. I was recently invited to be the guest speaker at the IEEE Victoria Section and hold discussions with their executive committee about the possibility of a directed donation to endow several Scholarships at the University of Victoria. I have also held preliminary discussions with IEEE Canada President Bill Kennedy about ways to involve our foundation in the IEEE Canada McNaughton Medal. These developments bring increased complexity to our operations with some implications. Two of these are; a need to be visibly accountable with improved documentation of procedures and decisions, and a need to better involve IEEE volunteers in our governance and business activities.
Over the past few months, an ad-hoc team of Luc Matteau, Celia Desmond and myself, investigated an online service provided by Canada Helps (www.canadahelps.org), which is registered as a charitable organization in Canada, and offered only to Canadian charitable organizations. As a result, we are now using this service to accept online donations.
We have been successfully using online applications for several years. As a result of my serving as a director of the IEEE Foundation, and being involved with a project to apply our online forms for their use, and having the opportunity to access IEEE IT department staff expertise, there are now several improvements that we can apply to our own forms and the process to produce and store applications and reports in a convenient format in a web-based archive. This is a future activity that I hope we will work on the near future.
Proposed Future Actions
I am proposing two ways of improving how we conduct our business in order to meet the challenges resulting from our growth as a Canada-wide foundation and I ask for your feedback.
Volunteer Resources - with an increasing number of awards being associated with our foundation but having local interest, it will be helpful to invite volunteers from those Sections to become foundation members and provide communication in both directions. With the use of email to all foundation members and participation in our annual general meeting, we may be able to increase awareness of award opportunities and deadlines and encourage greater participation. It is my goal to move toward a situation where most Canadian Sections have at least one volunteer as a foundation member who will act as our champion within their Section (and a neighbouring Section who does not have a volunteer as a foundation member). We may find it useful to use 2-year terms in some cases where the normal 5-year term is not appropriate.
Improved Documentation - in addition to implementing improvements to our web forms and developing a Microsoft Access database for our web form output files (to produce formatted HTML pages), and storing these pages in a web-based archive, I believe we need to document all the processes we use so that new volunteer members and directors can easily and efficiently learn what needs to be done and how to do it - especially if we are successful in broadening and increasing our membership.
Promotion of the IEEE Canadian Foundation within IEEE Canada
IEEE Canada Board - For the past three years, I have participated in the semi-annual IEEE Canada Board meetings, with the intent of informing that board in general, and the Section chairs in particular, of the activities and capabilities of our foundation. The aim is to publicize our program of Scholarships and Grants, our expertise in fiduciary responsibility and prudent investment, and our need for donations - both general and directed. I believe that this is working well and should be continued.
Student Branch Workshops - Our treasurer, Luc Matteau, has attended the annual IEEE Canada Student Branch workshops for the past several years with a complementary goal of providing information about our Scholarships and Grants and the process for successful application directly to the Student Branch representatives who attend. All indications are that these activities are appreciated and are having the desired effects
Awards Presentations - At the 2003 Spring IEEE Canada Board Meeting, we started a new initiative where Scholarship Certificates were presented to the chairs of the winners= Section for subsequent local presentation (as this was an IEEE Canada regional awards event, it was publicized on the IEEE Canada Awards web site). This continued last year and will be repeated this year.
Linkages with the IEEE Foundation
We presently have two direct linkages:
- Wally Read is the chair of the Trustees of the IEEE History Center and an ex-officio member of the IEEE Foundation Board of Directors
- I am a director of the IEEE Foundation and serve on Project Review and Audit Committees
- To the directors of IEEE Montreal Conferences Inc. and the IEEE Montreal Section for their directed donation
- To IEEE Canada for their directed donation to establish the two Vehicular Technologies awards (research and travel grant)To the directors of IEEE Montreal Conferences Inc. and the IEEE Montreal Section for their directed donation
- To the trustees of the Alberta Power Quality Conference for their directed donation to establish the Power Quality Scholarship
Awards and Recognitions of Foundation Members
G.C. Eastwood, G.G. English, B. Hercus, L.C. Simmonds - are honored as "members emeriti" of the IEEE Canadian Foundation as those who no longer wish to remain active in the governance of the foundation but whose past contributions were exceptional in quality and over an extended period of time (change of designation in bylaw approval process)
Adam Skorek - was awarded the Government of Poland Gold Cross of the Order of Merit and was elected a 2004 Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada
Vijay Bhargava - was awarded the 2004 Thomas W. Eadie Medal of the Royal Society of Canada in recognition of major contributions to Engineering with an impact on communications.
Haran Karmaker - received the 2004 Outstanding Engineer Award from IEEE Canada for leadership and contributions towards advancing the electromagnetic analysis of large rotating electrical machines and development of their standards for modeling and test procedures
Wally Read - is the 2005 recipient of the IEEE Charles Proteus Steinmetz Award for sustained leadership in organizing IEEE standards activities to be responsive to industry and the global marketplace
Bob Alden - was elected a 2005 Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada and a 2005 Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers for contributions to eigenvalue analysis of power system stability.
As I complete my third complete year as president, I am pleased with the progress our foundation is making and I look forward to us collectively meeting the challenges that our success brings as we continue to grow and mature. When I participate in the board meetings of the IEEE Foundation and we discuss the current president's thoughts of expanding IEEE foundation activity to include more countries, I am proud of the way we have set the precedent and are respected in the senior levels of the IEEE enterprise.
I thank all my fellow members of the IEEE Canadian Foundation, the volunteer leadership of both IEEE Canada and the IEEE Foundation, and associated staffs, for your inspiration, advice and support.
Robert T.H. (Bob) Alden, Ph.D., P.Eng., SM IEEE


Think twice before you slander Steven Crowder. In the latest episode of the CRTV host's "Crowder Confronts" video series, a professor of "logic" who posted fake tweets from Crowder on social media and called him an "alt-right Neo-Nazi" is confronted on camera, in the middle of his own class.
After repeated requests for this professor to retract his statements were unsuccessful, Crowder, assisted by comedian Owen Benjamin, traveled to the University of Texas at Arlington to address the professor directly.
After disrupting the class, Crowder and Benjamin were escorted from campus by police.
"If you make threats, calls to violence, or repeatedly abuse your power to lie to your pupils and refuse to admit the truth, I will find you, I will expose you, and I will shame you," Crowder said.

Nationally ranked Wheeling Jesuit scored 62 points in the second half of its game against homestanding Shepherd but still lost by 11 points, 99-88, because Shepherd scored 65 points in that half.
The Cardinals trotted into the Butcher Center ranked 19th in the nation in Division II, and had only three losses.
Shepherd entered the night with consecutive losses to Fairmont and West Liberty, two of the kingpins in the Mountain East Conference.
After a grinding first half, in which points escaped both sides for the most part, the last half produced a combined 127 points.
Scoring almost 100 points after having only 34 points at halftime was a rare sight in college basketball.
Once the Rams repulsed Wheeling Jesuit's zesty attempts at erasing their lead, the game became brutish at times with the Cardinals getting as physical as possible and Shepherd backing down from nothing - and then mastering the free throw line to gain the important win.
Six Rams scored in double figures. That outdid the frequent shot attempts of all-conference players Haywood Highsmith and Pat Moseh, who tallied 31 and 23 points respectively.
Shepherd point guard Thomas Lang began his scoring early and continued to the very end, where his unerring free throw eye left him 10-for-10 from the foul line. Lang totaled 23 points to put him at the head of the double-figure line that included Cam Stephens, AJ Carr, Steffen Davis, Devin Smith and Derek McKnight.
Shepherd canned 35-of-43 free throws, while the Cardinals had only themselves to blame for a 23-of-37 (62 percent) showing from the foul line.
The frequency of the fouls whistled signaled the intensity of the struggle through much of the second half. Wheeling Jesuit was tagged with 29 personal fouls and a lone technical on the bench. Shepherd had two players foul out and was nailed with 24 fouls.
With the loss-stopping win, Shepherd improved overall to 12-8 and to 8-6 in conference games. The Cardinals left the raucous Butcher Center with a 15-4 overall mark that includes an 11-3 conference record.
Shepherd had eight games remaining with only Fairmont, at home on Feb. 24 to close out the regular season, left against the league's Big Three: West Liberty, Wheeling Jesuit and Fairmont.
Free throws and a 65-point second half had lifted the Rams over the Cardinals, who lost even with a 62-point half.

In August of 1960, the founder and first pastor of the parish, Fr. Joseph McMahon finalized the decision to open a school in the parish. In September of that year, fourteen 1st graders and five 2nd graders started school in a classroom made in the transept of the church. During the year, four additional 2nd graders joined the school making a total of 23 students. The Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon agreed to staff the school, and Sister Josepha was named the first principal and primary teacher.
As the community and parish grew, enrollment increased. Additional classes were held in the rectory basement and in the back of the church, requiring desks to be moved every week for Sunday Mass. In February of 1964, the first unit of the school building was completed and was dedicated by Archbishop Howard on April 23, 1964.
The first 8th grade graduation was in 1967. Two additional classrooms were added in 1969 and again in 1982, giving the educational center eight permanent classrooms. In 1996-1997, the school added rooms for music, science, library, and computers, and expanded and enhanced the space for office and faculty.
Expansion of the school's enrollment capacity began with the acceptance of fifty-one kindergarten students in the fall of 2009 making enrollment for the 2009-10 school year 291 students. These fifty-one kindergarten students became two 1st grade classes in the fall of 2010. This process of expansion continued until the school graduated two 8th grade classes in June 2018.
During the 2010-2011 school year we celebrated our fiftieth anniversary of providing Catholic education.
In August of 2011 Phase 1 of our Capital Campaign was completed which included: a new double gym, renovation of the old gym into a cafeteria/multipurpose parish facility, and construction of three new classrooms in the current cafeteria.
In August of 2015, Phase 2 of our Capital Campaign was completed which added an East Wing to the Education Center. Eight additional classrooms were included: five homerooms, a new science room/lab, a new music room, a remodeled art room, classrooms for breakout and small group instruction, as well as a new administrative office, and a new enclosed security entrance.
In Fall 2018, we added Pre-Kindergarten and 3's and 4's Preschool will begin in Fall of 2019.


Why the needs for a garden sink?
Gardening is beautiful and it can be more rewarding when you have some edible vegetables to harvest in your cottage style of garden. You will sure need water at that point to do quick washing before you going in with the harvested product. This is where the garden sink comes in handy.
This plumbing material will save you a lot of hassles in having to jump between your garden and the kitchen to make use of the kitchen sink at any time there is a need to make a wash either of hands or products.
In installing a garden sink outdoors for your use, there is a few notes you may have to make on getting things to work properly. In the installation, the sink itself, as well as the water system to supply it and also the drainage pattern for the used water, must be looked into. What is the choice of sink you have in mind? Stainless steel is commonly used for designs owing to its durability and availability in regards to cost. It is affordable.
Running water to your sink is next on the line. This can be much of a cost due to the plumbing work that has to be done. You can be creative by going with using a hose externally which is not bad for a garden use. But if you want to run in a clean line, expect to spend some money in getting it constructed.
The drainage should not be a problem as the used water can be re-circulated to be used for irrigation. All that is needed is to channel the used sink water back to the garden.
Creativity should not be overruled in designing a garden sink. There are designs that are made purely of concrete or stones which suit the atmosphere just enough to be used in the garden. You can get to improvise in some design styles in the use of mix of wood and steel in your designs.


SEATTLE -- Post-modernists often deconstruct great works of art, but in "State of Darkness," set to Stravinsky's "Le Sacre du Printemps," and performed May 31 - June 10 by Pacific Northwest Ballet at Marion Oliver McCaw Hall, Molissa Fenley doesn't concern herself with un-doing Nijinsky. Fenley places just one dancer onstage. Instead of an ensemble, we see a physically actualized dialogue of soloist and musical score, which was conducted with verve by Stewart Kershaw, PNB'S music director. (The acoustics of McCaw Hall are superb, and apparently these performances were only the second time "State of Darkness," created in 1988, had been performed with a live orchestra.) In the two performances I caught, Rachel Foster performed June 1, and James Moore danced the June 2 matinee. David Moodey's stunning lighting design involved dramatic shifts of opaque white to midnight blue that seemed to syncopate with Stravinsky's savage rhythms. The lighting often foretold the movement, changing a second before the soloist switched from walking a diagonal to carving a circle, or when she transformed from bird to cat.
It is impossible to describe Fenley's piece without reverting to animal descriptions. "State of Darkness" has different movement themes that could just as easily be thought of as different animals, yet the human is always present. There is a signature circling of the arms, and it occurs in three ways. In one, the arms circle almost like a jogging warm-up or a boxer readying to enter the ring; there is a straight line, and we follow the line through the air to form the circle. In another, the arms circle with the elbows bent, so that the sensation of flight is created. The hands are still up in the air, open in a wide "V" -- a Fenley port de bras and a vigorous invocation. And finally, the arms circle with the elbows entirely bent, the port de bras no longer moving from the shoulder or the back, the hands clutched into the body, the wings now broken. It hurts to watch.
On June 1, Foster coolly demonstrated her ability to defy black holes by negotiating the pull of emptiness. She is not sucked into darkness, nor is she cornered by the exotic madness that is the call of Stravinsky's high bassoon. Rather, she stands in the central circular spot of white light, surrounded by that midnight blue, and suddenly descends, one leg bent, one leg straight to the side. The descent is lyrical, powerful. Foster pushes gravity down, deeper into the earth, elegantly revealing a way to negotiate our earth-bound lives.
She sculpts and shapes the air around her body, expressing through one sharp motion across her throat, performed starkly and quickly, the very ordinary strength required to face each day. The arm across the throat repeats across the forehead, causing me to think to myself, "This maiden might dance herself to death." Fenley wouldn't succumb to such sentimental weakness. She insists that our individual lives matter. The dancer withstands the force of ritual, withstands the force of darkness in our culture. This dance dialogue with Stravinsky ends in with a virtuosic step forward. Choreographer and interpreter show that no matter life's curves, it is possible to breathe. The dancer's feet are firmly on the ground, the movement is recognizable, accessible, athletic, and as if that weren't enough, Foster is full of grace while encompassing the magnitude that is "State of Darkness."
At the Saturday matinee, James Moore performed a different, no less important, more febrile interpretation. The difference between the two interpretations was not simply one of gender. Moore's long torso and short legs are uniquely suited to Fenley's work. He performs minute movements that resonate throughout the theater. His listening skill is amazing; the right palm cups over the top of the ear, and he oils his eardrum. Of course, that's impossible to witness, but I think you get the sense of how I saw an interior organ on the exterior of his body.
Fenley's choreography includes subtle allusions to Nijinsky: the archaic arm briefly stopped mid-flow and the slight, occasional protrusion of the buttock muscles evoking a primitive sense of propulsion. Closed movement that arises out of the small performance spaces of a downtown choreographer are present, but on McCaw Hall's proscenium stage, and as performed by Moore, these smaller motions weren't lost, merely writ with palpable ease, particularly the crumbly contractions of the abdominal muscles and the tiny, intermittent, scratching hand motions that referenced and in some cases paralleled the abdominal isolations. Yet if I describe these movements as primitive contractions and isolations, I do not give due credit to their refined, receptive, and rippled qualities. Think of bird bones, which are laced with air cavities, combining lightness and strength. Then hear the pumping, barbaric rhythms of Stravinsky's 'Sacre.' Molissa Fenley crafts the body as a hollow cavity; instead of blood coursing through arteries and veins, Stravinsky's rhythms pulse through, making emotions and the subconscious visible.

When it comes to Brexit our members have one central request of Government and that is what will future arrangements look like ? Unfortunately it appears it will be some time before we learn the answer.
In the meantime the only thing that people can do is to run their businesses as usual with as much enthusiasm and optimism as they can generate. The very worst thing that could happen is that we talk ourselves down into a pre-Brexit spiral of depression – a trap we must avoid at all costs.
That said, it is reasonable for businesses to express their concerns to Government. By being part of Business West it means our voice in Bath and North East Somerset is combined with those of companies in Bristol, Gloucestershire and Swindon who have explained their main fears.
Airbus's blunt warning last week about what they see as the significant risk to their UK business from Brexit is something we should to take seriously. Their role as an employer and as an anchor firm for the region's high tech, advanced manufacturing sector is crucial. They are saying bluntly that they fear 'severe negative consequences' as a result of leaving the European Union.
But smaller companies are also concerned. In a Business West survey only 8% of local businesses said they had confidence that government was communicating what changes businesses needed to make to prepare for Brexit whilst only 10% had confidence in the UK government's negotiating position taking into account the needs of their business
The number one need is to have some comfort over the level of future additional paperwork. In the survey, more than 30% of exporting members say they have no experience of using trade documentation which explains why 65% of all businesses and 79% of exporters highlighted that anxiety.
Secondly, there is a worry about the potential impact on businesses that are part of European wide supply chains including aerospace, automotive but also less high profile sectors.
Third, whilst there is no question that future agreements could lead to new market opportunities we have yet to see very much in the way of detail.
In the meantime we will continue to communicate the fears of our members, ensure our Export Documentation Department is ready and able to help with whatever the future holds but at the same time we will remain as positive as we can be and help maintain a vibrant local economy.
Business was broadly supportive of remaining in the European Union so it was understandable that a number of people immediately expressed disappointme...

Each year, countless American families are impacted by heart disease and stroke. Although its risk factors can be prevented or controlled, it is still the leading cause of death for all Americans, and accounts for $1 out of every $6 health care dollars. But there are many simple steps we can take to prevent heart disease such as eating healthy foods, exercising regularly, and not smoking. Spread awareness this month about the importance of heart health.

Q: Crash After updating Parse Framework 'NSInvalidArgumentException' It's been a while since i've update my Parse Framework.
I've deleted parse from my project folder and then copy the new updated parse framework.
I've added the missing libraries since the last update (libzSQL3).
after cleaning my app, i've tried to run it and getting this error:
 *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '+[BFTask           taskFromExecutor:withBlock:]: unrecognized selector sent to class 0x33c140'
 *** First throw call stack:

I went to the docs and there's nothing new over there, can anyone point me how to fix this issue ?

A: Looks like you need to update your Facebook SDK.  Go directly to developer.facebook.com, download the SDK and copy over the FacebookSDK and the Bolts framework.  You should be set after that.

A: If anyone coming across this, delete the Facebook SDK, and just add parse and bolt.
apparently bolt (bolt the SDK that come with parse) and Facebook SDK can't live side by side ( maybe an update will help but I don't need Facebook sdk since parse got all what I need) thank you!

Meet 'Huggable,' the Robot Bear Who's Helping Hospitalized Kids
FRIDAY, June 28, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- He sings, he plays games -- and Huggable the 'social robot' teddy bear could be good medicine for kids in the hospital.
In a study of 50 children, aged 3 to 10 years, the plush bear boosted spirits, eased anxiety and even lowered perceived pain levels, say Boston Children's Hospital researchers.
"It's exciting knowing what types of support we can provide kids who may feel isolated or scared about what they're going through," said study first author Deirdre Logan, a pediatric psychologist at the hospital.
Logan noted that hospital staffers provide a lot of support to help kids feel comfortable, but they can't be with every kid all the time.
"Social robots create a more consistent presence throughout the day," Logan said. "There may also be kids who don't always want to talk to people, and respond better to having a robotic stuffed animal with them."
The robot is not designed to replace health care specialists, only to assist them, the study authors noted.
Study co-author Cynthia Breazeal, founding director of the Personal Robots Group at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said, "Our group designs technologies with the mindset that they're teammates … We want technology to support everyone who's invested in the quality care of a child."
For the study, the researchers split the young patients into three groups: One used the robotic teddy; another group used a tablet-based, virtual Huggable; and the third group had traditional teddy bears.
The robotic teddy bear is operated by a specialist in the hall outside a child's hospital room. The specialist controls the robot's facial expressions and body actions, directs its gaze, talks through a speaker that shifts the voice to a higher pitch to sound more childlike, and monitors the patient via camera.
The specialist sang nursery rhymes to younger children and moved the robotic bear's arms during the song, and played the "I Spy" game with older patients.
The tablet-based, virtual Huggable had identical gestures and was also remotely operated.
But kids preferred playing with the Huggable robot to either the virtual version or a traditional teddy bear, according to the study published online June 26 in the journal Pediatrics.
Kids who played with the robot got out of bed and moved around more and made an emotional connection with the robot, asking it personal questions and inviting it to come back later to meet their families. Parents reported their kids had less pain when they interacted with the robot.
"Such improved emotional, physical and verbal outcomes are all positive factors that could contribute to better and faster recovery in hospitalized children," the researchers concluded in their report.
The American Academy of Pediatrics offers advice for parents when a child needs emergency hospital care.

One of the things my husband has long had difficulty with is the idea of our son receiving toys for his birthday and for holidays. Even when our son was a baby, my husband had a hard time, since children outgrow toys. Sure, they are a lot of fun, but they don't offer regular returns, and once they are broken or outgrown, children no longer benefit from them.
A relatively new company can change that, though. Instead of giving consumer items, what if you took the money you would have spent on a toy, and instead invested it each year? That's the idea behind TrustEgg.
TrustEgg is easier to set up than a savings account, has the protection of a trust, earns a market rate of return, is more flexible than a 529 plan, and can be opened with as little as $1. The added social element lets people leave messages, creating a virtual time capsule for recipients to look back on – and makes sure the gift doesn't go unnoticed.
Later, the money that has accumulated in the account can be used for any number of purposes, from a college to a wedding. This might actually prove far more valuable than a toy. Take the cost of a toy, and invest that money each year, rather than buying a birthday present, and the results could be quite dramatic.
If you were to give a one-year-old $24.98 instead of a Fisher-Price toy, according to TrustEgg, and continue to invest $24.98 each month until the child turns 18, the end result would be $8,831 at the end of those years, assuming a 6% rate of return. Even if you only invested once per year, you're looking at a final amount of $810.37. That's not too shabby.
Consider, if you bought a gift of $24.98 each year for 18 years, you would spend $449.64. Spent on consumer items, that money does little good long-term. Invested, though, that money has the potential to grow to much more than you spent. That's something that a child can really use. TrustEgg also estimates that you could help a child save up more than $32,000 by investing $100 a month for 16 years.
It is important to carefully consider before you invest, however. You need to make sure that you understand the ins and outs associated with any account. Check to make sure that you understand how the trust works, and whether or not it is the best setup for you and the child. You also need to realize that market conditions can change. You might not get the return you expected, or the market could crash just before the money is needed. It's important to keep this mind as well. However, chances are that the child will still come out ahead.
What do you think? Would you rather give a toy? Or something that keeps on giving?

Courtesy Lyft
Pretty Soon, 'Ride-Sharing' Services Could Actually Help You Share a Ride
Eric Goldwyn
Cab-sharing has arrived in a serious way with UberPool and Lyft Line.
After a decade of false starts, smartphone-enabled cab-sharing has finally arrived. In an ongoing quest to drive down the cost of a ride, attract more customers, increase efficiency, and take over the personal travel market, Lyft and Uber have both rolled out beta services in San Francisco that match users going in the same direction: UberPool and Lyft Line. Building on their popular and easy to use e-hailing platforms and sizable networks of passengers and drivers, both services are betting they have the right formula to move more people at a lower price.
On a recent trip to San Francisco, I took three Lyft Line rides. Here's how it works: You sign into the app, select a line ride, and input your destination. As Lyft builds your route, it simultaneously searches its database for other riders going in the same direction. If the system finds a match, Lyft will send you a note about your vehicle, driver, and fellow passenger. If no match is found, you ride alone, and Lyft picks up half the tab. One of my San Francisco rides matched (Hi, Clara!), one didn't, and one did match but the passenger never showed. In all these cases, my rides cost 50 percent less than a solo ride would have, and got me where I needed to go without adding much delay. Drivers are instructed to wait no more than a minute for the matching rider.
The Future of Transportation
Coordinating moving parts is complicated, and since Lyft Line is a new service, it wasn't entirely seamless. Finding a match took longer than just clicking to request a normal Lyft—about a minute or two for my first ride. In addition to this minor hiccup, there was some geo-location confusion that delayed us by another 10 minutes. Fortunately, the driver called me directly and we sorted out the problem. Despite this delay, the ride was social and fun. Between the three of us, we turned a routine ride from the airport into a conversation about Nairobi's climate, California's drought, chocolate, and alternative corporate structures. The experience was so pleasant that I ended up having breakfast with my co-passenger the morning I left for New York.
For my other rides, Lyft picked up the unmatched (or no-show) difference and only charged me the 50 percent fare. Thanks to hundreds of millions of dollars raised by Lyft, they're able to subsidize rides and pay drivers the full fares. This last bit is critical to sustaining the cab-share idea. "We're in a fortunate position to launch Lyft Line on top of a strong platform and guarantee the fare so that there are no surprises for our passengers or drivers," says Logan Green, Lyft's co-founder and CEO.
Entrepreneurs have been circling around the cab-share idea for years. The opportunity was obvious: cheaper cab rides for customers. The allure of cab-share spawned new start-ups by the week in the late 2000s. Companies like Weeels, CabCorner, Split-A-Ride, Ride Amigos, CabEasy, and Hitchster all launched expecting consumers to gravitate to their apps and inherently understand and adopt this new service.
This group of forward thinking developers failed by skipping directly to sharing before establishing a reliable network of drivers and passengers—they had a service, but no marketplace to connect supply and demand. Lyft and Uber, meanwhile, have spent the last few years building just such a network with their regular e-hailing platforms. "E-hailing was the easier problem to solve in 2009," says David Mahfouda, co-founder and CEO of Bandwagon (formerly Weeels), an early cab-share app. "We were trying to solve a harder problem, and it's taken us a couple of years to figure it out and prove our concept." (Full disclosure: I once did a consulting project for Bandwagon.)
Instead of repeating the same mistakes of the early cab-share pioneers, Lyft and Uber are charting a very different course.
Instead of repeating the same mistakes of the early cab-share pioneers, Lyft and Uber are charting a very different course, relying on their deep pockets, reams of data, and a careful rebranding of cab-share (note that UberPool and Lyft Line avoid using the words "cab" or "share") to make it a reality. Instead of asking riders to adopt an unknown service, Uber and Lyft are nudging their existing passengers to share their rides by offering them a lower price when they split a fare. Even when these rides don't match, Lyft and Uber will pick up the difference so that the rider isn't stuck paying the second passenger's fare.
The lesson is that new transportation services require outreach, education, and branding to attract users and explain how they work. Even e-hailing required hundreds of millions of dollars in free credits for riders, waived commissions for drivers, and clever marketing and design to convince people to try it and stick with it. Uber, Lyft, Sidecar, and HailO didn't just develop an app and wait for people to figure out how to use it. They incentivized them to use the app and then held their hand along the way to make sure they got the most out of the service so that they'd keep coming back for more. "Almost $2 billion has been invested in making this feasible," says Mahfouda. This sea change in behavior didn't just happen over night; it was engineered.
While Lyft was designed with cab-share in mind—Lyft's emphasis on fostering a relaxed social atmosphere really speaks to this—years of data-collection from their e-haling platform has confirmed the intuition that gave rise to Zimride, the initial company started by Lyft's founders, Green and John Zimmer. Green told me "90 percent of Lyft rides in San Francisco could be shared if people are willing to wait an extra 5 minutes." (Other new research suggests that nearly 95 percent of rides in New York City could be shared with just a minute's wait.) But matching rides is only half the battle. As Lyft works through the inevitable kinks that come with introducing a new service, they're also building a robust real-time traffic data center that collects information from its cars on the road. The better they can anticipate traffic patterns, the better their software can route trips, find matches, and provide certainty to drivers and passengers.
In the hands of the current crop of technology companies, the cab-share idea is much more ambitious than people even realize. Ultimately, Lyft and Uber want to corner the personal transportation market rather than the much smaller taxi or carpooling markets. Uber's most recent advertisements—at least the ones targeted to me via Twitter—are about avoiding the hassles of owning a car rather than improving my taxi-riding experience. Green told me that the idea for Zimride (which launched six months before the iPhone did, back in 2007) grew out of his experience on the board of Santa Barbara's Metropolitan Transit District. "Public transit wasn't improving, agencies were bleeding money, subsidy was limited, cost recovery was around 30 percent, and there was no platform to scale up," he said. "I wanted to create an infinitely scalable public transit service." With Lyft Line, it's possible he has.

Chef who slow cooked wife's body found guilty
By Chellie Cervone - Posted: Sep 27, 2012 at 1:08 pm
Dawn Viens (deceased) and David Viens (photo: NBC Miami)
David Viens, the Chef who admitted to slow-cooking his wife's body had been found guilty.
Viens was on trial for the gruesome crime that occurred in 2009.
Viens, the chef-owner of the Thyme Contemporary Cafe in Lomita, Southern California was officially considered a suspect in Dawn Vien's murder in March, 2011.
When he heard he was a suspect, he tried to kill himself by jumping off an 80 foot cliff and ended up in the hospital due to injuries he sustained in the failed suicide attempt.
Authorities visited him in the hospital and he said that his wife's death was an accident.
He claimed that they had an argument and that he put duct tape on her mouth and locked her in a closet.
He said when he check on her a few hours later, she was dead.
He decided to cover up the death because he said he panicked and decided to dispose of his wife's body.
He told a gruesome story of how he he put weights and other objects on his dead wife's body to weigh her down and he then cooked her for 4 days.
He went on to say that he let her cool and "strained it out" and then mixed his wife's body with other restaurant waste and disposed of it by pouring the mixture into the restaurant's grease pit.
The remainder of the remains was placed into garbage bags and discarded.
He also claims that he hid her jawbone and skull in his mother's home, although police could not find any evidence of the skull and jawbone when they searched his mother's home.
The entire account of what Vien's said was captured on tape, while he was interviewed at the hospital, and the tape was played for the jury.
Viens, who attended the trial in a wheelchair, was convicted of second degree murder and showed no emotion when the verdict was read.

NAPLES, Fla. — Legendary Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka is recovering in a Florida hospital after suffering a heart attack earlier this week.
Sources tell WGN he was playing golf Wednesday before he was hospitalized. Doctors inserted a pacemaker and he is expected to head home in three or four days for rehab.
Ditka, who turned 79 in October, has had heart trouble in the past. He famously returned to work 11 days after suffering a heart attack while coaching in 1988.

Q: Configuring Oracle Apex on Amazon AWS ec2 and Oracle RDS I am trying to configure Oracle Apex on Amazon AWS ec2 and using Oracle RDS as Database instance. I have registered as free user for learning purpose. This is the first time I am configuring ec2 + ORDS for oracle Apex.
While i am configuring ORDS for Oracle Apex (ec2) and hitting command: java -jar ords.war
It asks to "Enter the username with SYSDBA privileges to verify the installation [SYS]:" but I my user doesn't have SYS privileges and I am unable to grant SYS privileges to it.enter image description here
Could some help me out with this. I am stuck at this point and unable to start APEX due to this.
I have attached the error

A: According to user MichaelB@AWS (Amazon staff account):

For the issues with ORDS, you should skip (by entering "2") steps
  involving the ORDS schema and PL/SQL gateway. The ORDS schema is not
  required to support the APEX RESTful listener, and is not currently
  supported on RDS Oracle. The specific options may vary between
  versions of ORDS.
  https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=711534

The APEX+APEX_DEV options do not create the correct ORDS users, in particular there's no ORDS_METADATA created which is where most of the important ORDS packages and data are stored.  Without SYSDBA (not available on RDS) you won't be able to install ORDS either.
From the documentation:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Appendix.Oracle.Options.html
the minimal ORDS.war configuration and associated schemas needed to get APEX working is available on Amazon's RDS as a replacement for the deprecated APEX Express Listener.  It isn't a complete install of ORDS for RESTful services.
The solutions are:

*

*Wait for Amazon to support ORDS on RDS

*Install Oracle yourself on an EC2 instance and forget RDS

Brown Bites: Jan. 23-29, 2016

How do you say "Bye Felicia" in Greek?
News that the frat formerly known as AEPi disaffiliated from the international organization and became the independent frat Beta Rho Pi struck newsfeeds everywhere this week. In an op-ed, the president of Beta Rho Pi, Ben Owens '17, discussed the brothers' reasoning for disaffiliation, citing religious bias against non-Jewish brothers and disagreement over the way AEPi National handles sexual assault prevention. By getting rid of national dues, the guys also aim to make the frat more inclusive. Jonathan Pierce, past international president of AEPi and current AEPi spokesman, voiced his disappointment over the brothers' decision, saying that being in AEPi is special, and Brown's chapter "didn't value that." Founders of the Brown AEPi chapter Seth Orkand '99 and Peter Cohen-Millstein '98 published an op-ed in The Herald explaining their disappointment with the disaffiliation. Sounds like that break-up went about as well as when we dumped our 7th-grade boyfriend. Sorry, Sam — we loved you, we just weren't in love with you.
The curse of Thayer
Students mourned the loss of two more places to eat as Thayer claimed the lives of both SnoTea Caffè and Skewers over winter break. While some students felt the loss of SnoTea especially hard, Skewers spent the end of last semester fairly empty of customers. Kung Fu Tea, which will be owned and operated by the management of the nearby Den Den Café Asiana, is slated to open up later this semester in SnoTea's place. The only silver lining of the closings: the ghost of Skewers will make a great Halloween costume.
Daredevils who crave the exhilarating feeling of going 10 mph were crushed by the news that hoverboards were banned from campus over break. According to Senior Associate Dean of Campus Life Richard Bova, hoverboards' lithium batteries have been prone to catch fire and are therefore banished from residence halls, auxiliary housing properties and University buildings. Brown joined 25 other universities including Harvard, Yale and Columbia who have banned the board. Attention students in need of other hipster ways to get around campus: Have you tried unicycling?
Brown came in like a wrecking ball
Good news for visiting parents — Brown is planning on knocking down seven buildings on Brook and Cushing Streets to create a temporary new parking lot. According to Al Dahlberg, the director of state and community relations for Brown, the addition is being made in response to requests by Thayer Street merchants for additional parking options. Once Brown's two-year permit expires, the University plans to use the area "to meet emerging residential or academic needs." We have to say we're most excited about the new potential shortcut opportunities on our way to class.

Another folk fest is done and dusted.
Sunday carried with it that winding-down feeling as many napped in the grass during the day and pushed towards the beer tent (despite the $8 drinks) in the evening as skies cleared and temperatures climbed in time for mainstage to begin.
This year, the mainstage coverage has been purposefully pared down, but it seems wrong not to make a fuss over Lucius, the five-piece indie-pop band out of Brooklyn, N.Y., led by two dazzling frontwomen and multi-instrumentalists, Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig. The pair share vocal duties — when they sing the same vocal line, it becomes impossible to distinguish one voice from the other, perfectly in sync and on pitch. When they harmonize, it's breathtaking; the higher they go in their respective registers, the more impressive it becomes. Lucius is a strong reminder pop music has the potential to be just as moving, smart and intricate as anything else out there.
Loudon Wainwright III kicked off the night by accepting his Artistic Achievement Award before cracking up the crowd with a set of darkly humourous tunes. L.A.-based indie folk band Lord Huron also performed (their first time in Winnipeg), contributing a tremendous set that was equal parts dancey and dreamy. The festival finale featured locals Red Moon Road and East Coasters Matt Byrne and the East Pointers.

But, as it had all week, mainstage played second fiddle — it was the daytime stages that had folkies buzzing the most.
One of the enduring appeals of the daytime experience of the Winnipeg Folk Festival is the walk of discovery, in which you just wander wherever the sounds take you. On Sunday, it might have led you to Shady Grove, where Martha Wainwright and Lucy Wainwright Roche were playing with their folksinger dad, Loudon Wainwright lll. The daughters provided harmonies or alternated verses on their father's songs and sang their own material, though Martha joked she could only remember her new songs, as she was on pain meds after spraining her ankle and having to go to the ER in Winnipeg the night before.
Loudon sang a sentimental song inspired by his grandchildren — Martha has two boys, son Rufus has a daughter — laced with his trademark bitterness.
Sunday at the Green Ash stage was a non-stop celebration; first, a world party was taking place as Balkan klezmer music, Yemen blues and gypsy flamenco were blended together courtesy of Ontario's Lemon Bucket Orchestra, Israel's Ravid Kahalani and France's Les Noces Gitanes. The three groups took the workshop concept to heart, turning every song into a joyful jam session. Later, an all-lady lineup including Twin Peaks, the Wild Reeds and Rosie & the Riveters spoke strongly to any and all females in the audience with their immensely personal tunes and low-key, hilarious banter. The last workshop of the day, featuring the Head and the Heart, Lucius and hosted by the charming Basia Bulat, was, in a word, epic. Wolfe and Laessig of Lucius were a particular highlight, stunning the crowd with their incredible vocal prowess.
Artistic director Chris Frayer made a misstep programming an eight-band workshop at the Spruce Hollow, tucked away and surrounded on all side by woods, better suited for more intimate shows. The overcrowded venue meant half the audience could barely hear and couldn't see the lineup performing covers of Prince, Merle Haggard, David Bowie and Guy Clark — not helped by the fact the lack of host meant performers were not introduced.

Overall, though, in the eyes of organizers this year's fest has been a resounding success, with executive director Lynne Skromeda saying the weekend went very smoothly.
"Everybody I talked to was just happy with the experience that they had," says Skromeda, commenting on the feeling that daytime shows seemed calmer and more subdued than normal. "Our world music workshops tends to amp people up, and I think certainly we've had those kinds of workshops, but maybe in general there's been a really nice, 'hang out and listen to good music' feel."
While she was unable to give specific numbers at this time, Skromeda confirmed the perceived influx of people Saturday was an actuality: it was their best Saturday in terms of attendance the folk fest has ever had.
"I do know that yesterday was our strongest single-day Saturday that we've had. Period," she says. "It was packed... not but a huge margin, by a small margin, it's been the best Saturday we've ever had. And our Friday numbers also exceeded last year's numbers, which is really good, so we're feeling pretty good about it."
Capes: As they say, three's a trend, and three female acts this fest were rocking the cape look (and by cape, I don't mean superhero cape, but the more fashionable version). Basia Bulat turned heads on the mainstage Saturday night with her now-signature gold sparkly cape, followed by Charity Rose Thielen of the Head and the Heart, who sported a black version of the garment later on in the evening. On Sunday, the ladies of Lucius, Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, came to their workshop at Green Ash wearing matching outfits — orange dresses with a lightning-bolt print that had accompanying capes in the same design. Later that night, the pair popped up on mainstage in similar outfits, this time in pale pink with an animated oracle design.
Loud shirts: For the male performers, it seemed button-up shirts with wacky prints were the top of choice — Hawaiian prints, watermelon prints, abstract prints, '80s geometric prints, they were all there and they were all weird.
Inflatable-bag seating: It's not often that a new style of festival seating comes into the market, but this year, long, inflatable bags made their first appearance at folk fest. Basically, you open the end of the bag to the air and swoosh it around until the bag fills up, then the end gets sealed and you have a squishy, comfortable place to sit. Some bags can accommodate up to three people sitting upright, or one person laying down in the crevice in the middle.
A woman working at the folk fest wilderness supply store said the fest ordered in 30 of the bags, and at 3 p.m. Sunday, only one remained. They were being sold for $110, plus tax, but for those who had them, the price was worth it.
Kyley Parker had a bag he ordered on Amazon that was a little bit cheaper, but suggests spending the extra cash for the better ones. He said the inflation lasts just about as long as a workshop, and then he refills with air for the next one. "It's like sitting on a sofa at a music festival," he said, comfortably reclining back in his blue bag.

Put your money where your morals are: ethical ideas for ESG investing
By: Luke Graham
Luke is a former City AM features writer, now features editor for Tyto PR
Whether or not you agree with activists like Greta Thunberg or campaign groups like Extinction Rebellion, there's been a clear societal shift in recent years to recognise the need to tackle problems like climate change or global poverty.
One aspect of that shift is the increasing trend for savers to consider the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in their investment decisions. ESG investors want to use their money to do good, as well as generate returns.
In the past, ethical and ESG investments were not particularly mainstream or popular, as they did not perform as well as broader portfolios that included so-called "sin stocks" such as oil and tobacco companies.
But this is no longer the case. ESG has gone from a niche corner of the market to a major trend, with many companies considering the environmental and social effect of their business. This is not just about being ethical, but about future-proofing your savings. After all, there's no point in having lots of investments if there's no planet to live on.
"A growing number of major investors are making it crystal clear that ESG principles are now critical to their decision making," says Richard Jackson, managing director at Apache Capital Partners. "It's a clear and growing trend, especially among institutional investors such as pension funds, who can't afford to think short term."
As ethical investing has become more mainstream, the number of ESG-related investment options has grown immensely. If you are keen for your money to reflect your morals, here are some ethical savings ideas.

For many, ethical investing just involves avoiding companies that are bad for society or the environment — for instance, avoiding fossil fuel stocks because of pollution concerns.
But ESG investors can also be proactive through impact investing.
This approach involves backing businesses that are having a positive impact on the world in some way, such as by selling solar panels and wind turbines that can generate renewable energy, or encouraging sustainable practices.
"There is an increasing wave of investment vehicles aimed at the man or woman on the street, seeking to offer the opportunity to combine financial returns with doing good," explains Rupert Welchman, fund manager for the UBAM Positive Impact Fund.
"In this sense, impact investing focuses first and foremost on the products or services of a company and the benefits these can bring to the world. As these products and services tend to be in demand in a world that seeks to live more sustainably, we find that many of these companies become quite attractive investment opportunities too."
The UBAM fund has returned 27.52 per cent in its first full year in existence in 2019. The general strategy of the fund is to invest in and support companies that the managers believe best deliver the 15 investible United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Impact investing can also help the economy to transition to a more sustainable future, according to Dick van Ommeren, managing director at Triodos Investment Management.
"It's only through impact investing that we can support the innovative businesses that are truly tackling global issues," he says. "We can't achieve a more sustainable future alone, so we collaborate with the companies that we invest in to promote and encourage sustainable practices. We use our shareholder voting rights to ensure that decisions around financial profit are not made at the expense of people or planet."
Triodos offers two impact investment funds: the Global Equities Impact Fund and the Pioneer Impact Fund. These funds have grown by 58.9 per cent and 59.2 per cent over five years. Anyone can invest in the funds either directly or through a stocks and shares Isa.
Of course, while it is positive that more and more investors are prioritising ESG and impact investing, there is also a need to ensure that these investments are responsible and that their effects are truly tangible across society, warns Martin Bellamy, co-chief executive and chair of This is Gravity.
"To create a real impact, there needs to be a clear commitment to encouraging companies and developers such as ourselves to commit to clean growth, which will help Britain achieve economic growth through clean technology and sustainable development," he says. "The UK already has a Clean Growth strategy in place, and Gravity is developing the country's first commercial smart campus near Bristol, designed from the ground up to enable today's giants and tomorrow's unicorns to grow cleanly."
Renewable returns
If your biggest concern is climate change and the environment, you could focus your investments into renewable energy specifically.
There are several investment funds available that enable you to directly invest into solar energy projects and wind farms and own a piece of the electricity production process, rather than just in companies that make and sell panels or turbines.
Investing in these sorts of infrastructure projects can be very lucrative, as they are often able to pay out regular dividends that rise in line with inflation.
One example is the Greencoat UK Wind fund, which is worth £2.2bn and operates several wind farms across the country. Over one year, shares in the fund grew by 10.49 per cent, and for 2019 it paid out a dividend of 6.94p per share.
"Greencoat Capital's aim is to generate stable returns for investors through investment into the renewable energy and resource efficiency sectors," says Stephen Lilley, partner at Greencoat Capital. "Renewable infrastructure — such as wind farms, solar farms, and bioenergy plants — offers the opportunity to secure stable, long-term returns, often with inflation protection, while having a positive impact on the environment by helping to accelerate the roll-out of renewable generation capacity, and lower the UK's emissions."
Pension power
If you're signed up to a workplace pension scheme, you could consider using your retirement savings to make the world a better place.
Nearly nine million UK employees have savings with Nest, the workplace pension provider set up by the government to help with auto-enrolment. Most will be invested in the default Nest Retirement Date Funds, but many may not realise that they can switch to other Nest funds that are better performing.
Two in particular will appeal to ESG investors. There's the Nest Ethical Fund, which excludes investing in companies that cause harm and proactively invests in organisations that make a positive contribution to society. And then there's the Nest Sharia Fund, which screens its investments to make sure that they comply with Islamic Sharia standards, excluding companies that are involved in other harmful areas such as alcohol, tobacco, weapons production, and gambling.
Both the Ethical and Sharia funds have outperformed Nest's default fund, growing by 20.7 per cent and 28.9 per cent respectively over one year, compared to the Retirement Fund's 16.9 per cent growth.
"Nest's ethical pension available to auto-enrolled employees outperforms its default pension scheme," says Lisa Ashford, chief executive of the ethical investment provider Ethex. "Many companies are switching to this pension because it does better financially and ethically."
By backing ethical pension funds like these, employees know that their savings are doing good, as well as doing well.

The Youth and Philanthropy Initiative (YPI) is an active citizenship programme that raises awareness amongst young people about philanthropy and their local community. Each participating school, each year is responsible for directing a £3000 YPI Grant to a local charity through a unique programme of team work, research and competition. Our S3 pupils have been working on this over the last term.
The charities were: Befrienders Highland, Poolewe Swimmming Pool, Dundonnell Mountain Rescue, Wester Ross Youth Football Club and Family First. Each charity sent a representative on the day to be part of the competition.
The judges were impressed by the level of research and work that had been put into the presentations and found it very difficult to decide on a winner. The charity that won on the day was Dundonnell Mountain Rescue Team. Congratulations to Amy Nieto, George Pickering and Isabelle Gallacher for their hard work and interesting presentation, the team representative Andrew Vickerstaff, was delighted to be receiving £3000.
Thank you to the panel of judges Stuart Smith (parent council) Julia Alexander (local fundraiser) Evan Macphail and Lucas Jackson (senior pupils) and Linda Schubert representative of the Wood Foundation.

You may recall reading our post about an Amur tiger cub named Zolushka, Cinderella in English, who was rescued by two hunters in Russia's remote Primorsky Province when they found her lying in a snow drift, breathing shallow and eyes glazed. The hunters cared for Zolushka, kept her warm and fed her a steady diet of meat, eggs and warm milk.
Zolushka receiving care after being rescued by hunters.
Within two weeks time, the cub was back up on her paws and her caretaker called on the expertise of Dale Miquelle, an American scientist and foremost expert on the Amur tiger, based in Primorsky.
The winter after her release, footage confirmed that Zolushka was adapting to life in the wild and she was sharing her range and food with a healthy male tiger the scientists named Zavetny. Miquelle was hopeful that one day he might receive a camera trap photo of Zolushka with cubs following behind her.
According to Miquelle, the video shows the cubs huddling near Zolushka and playfully romping around with her. The cubs also scratch and sniff a "scent-marking tree" where Zolushka and Zavetny may have marked their territory. Miquelle said his team feel like godparents and are curious to see how Zolushka will handle the responsibility of raising her cubs as she didn't have the chance to spend her full early life with her own mother.
Zolushka and her cubs appear to be thriving in the wild. Captured on a camera trap in late August, 2016, you can see mom in the center and her two cubs on each side Great news for tiger conservation. Everyone is thrilled to see Zolushka begin this new chapter of her story.
Love happy posts like this !
You're a great mom Zolushka ??? wishing you, the cubs who are as big as you now, ? and Zavetny; the best for a life that's happy, healthy and with many years ahead in the future ?????

A 30 minute vehicle transfer from Mashatu Lodge is a refuge that is very different. The Mashatu Tent Camp is almost one with the environment; blink and you might miss it! This tented camp is the leisure choice for the guest who seeks the ultimate one-on-one bush experience and who prefers a more intimate environment (and no children under the age of 12).
Imagine showering under the stars!
Eight completely private tents are tucked under the branches of enormous trees, accessible via meandering pathways. The tents themselves are spacious, comfortable and large enough that adults need not duck to move around in. Each is mounted on a concrete platform and has its own private outdoor en-suite facilities, including W.C. and shower.
Instant camaraderie is the norm at this unique camp. Meal times are shared without pomp and ceremony, either in the open-air thatched gazebo, or in the boma (enclosure) overlooking the floodlit, well-populated waterhole. The camp's plunge pool invites guests to cool off and escape the relentless heat typical of the summer months.
Feel free to check out the reviews of our Mashatu Tent Camp on Trip Advisor.
