CUB getting closer to barley growers
September 8, 2015 by James Atkinson
L-R: CUB's Stephen Exinger and Dr Garry Menz
Carlton & United Breweries has realised that the old adage that 'good brewers make good beer' is only partly true.
Last week, the company took some of its brewing team on a tour of barley crops in northern New South Wales organised by one of its key barley suppliers, Boolah Partnership, with Australian Brews News along for the ride.
It's the first time brewers have joined what is becoming an annual expedition, previously only attended by CUB's raw materials buyers and specialists.
While barley represents CUB's biggest raw material spend, the brewer has only recently begun working directly with and influencing growers, according to brewing materials manager Mark Goldsmith.
"In the past we've probably left that too much to our malt supplier, to be honest," he said.
Goldsmith and CUB general manager of technical services, Stephen Exinger, attribute the hands-on approach partly to the 2012-13 experience of overhauling Crown Lager to champion its use of the highest quality ingredients, including a tighter malt specification.
"Because we were selecting specific parcels of higher quality, we came out and started visiting barley growers to make those selections," Goldsmith said.
Exinger added: "We had to have certainty that not only was it meeting the tighter specs we'd placed on it, but that we could guarantee segregation… through their silo system all the way through the malting process so we could say, 'that Crown Lager or Crown Golden Ale is definitely from those parcels and it has those attributes'."
Goldsmith said: "We had not been close up until that point. Through that project we became closer to a number of growers, here and in Victoria and it's built on from that."
A snippet of Boolah Partnership's huge 24,000 hectares of crops
However, the closer ties have also become somewhat of a necessity given the evolution of the Australian barley market, which now cycles different varieties through much quicker than before, continually targeting improved yields and disease resistance. A variety may only stay on the market for five to ten years before it is superseded.
"We had a lot of stability in barley varieties ten years ago. A lot of varieties were developed by government agencies, and now because they've deregulated the barley varietal market it's gone into the private enterprise," said regional category manager for brewing raw materials, Glenn Bake.
"Barley breeders get paid on the tonnes of their barley varieties that come through the system. You can imagine they're quite competitive, so we're seeing a lot more barley varieties."
With new varieties coming onto the market all the time, CUB needs to constantly assess firstly their ability to be processed efficiently through the brewery, but also whether they are able to produce a quality beer.
"Some varieties process better than others for us in the way we make our beers. Some just make it very challenging," said Goldsmith.
"A key difference in between varieties is how much enzymes they have and how quickly they convert the starches into fermentable sugars. That's one of the key variances and that challenges the guys in the brewhouse.
"We then need to make sure that the outcomes of the brewing process end up with quality beers. So, when we look at new varieties, they've got to put them through on their own, make a beer at the other end and everything has got to come out equal or better to what we've currently got.
"We don't want to use a variety that comes out the other end and it's a hazy beer or a beer that's got no head retention," he said.
CUB a niche player in barley
As part of the tour, Boolah Partnership's agronomist, Leigh Norton, presented data indicating that a new barley variety called Compass is leaving others in the shade in terms of its returns for growers.
However, Compass is currently only able to be sold as feed barley, having not yet been approved as a malting variety (barley for human consumption), let alone been found to be suitable for brewing, which Goldsmith said is really only a "niche" end use for the crop.
"There's eight million tonnes of barley grown in Australia and 2.5 million tonnes of that usually goes into malting. We use about 80,000 tonnes of barley, so we're not really a big mover and shaker," said Goldsmith.
"Compass is going to take over the area because it's yielding so high. If it doesn't suit us, we need to be in a position before that happens to make sure that we've got the varieties that we want, which will mean contracting and building relationships with the growers."
This year the relationship with Boolah enabled CUB to request it to grow Westminster, a lower yielding variety that has been a solid performer for the brewer in Victoria.
Surveying this season's barley crop
Boolah meanwhile has the certainty of a long-term contract to support the multimillion dollar investments in machinery required to tend its 24,000 hectares of crops, which also include wheat, linseed, chickpeas and sorghum.
The trip was an eye-opener for technical brewer Dr Garry Menz, and licensed brands brewer Jason Hignett, both of whom were in attendance from CUB's Yatala facility in Queensland.
"Really our quality improvement work starts here, from the base. Down to variety selection, how it's grown, how it's stored, how it's harvested. what happens here impacts what you can do in a malthouse and that impacts what you can do in a brewhouse," said Menz.
Hignett added: "People always say it takes a good brewer to make good beer. That's not necessarily always the case, it also takes good raw materials to make good beer."

I'm going to start looking into making some gifts for Christmas this year. I am running across some fab ideas on Pinterest like a snowball wreath with a mixture of Styrofoam and glass balls. I saw a few decorations using vintage music sheets. I should get my mom involved too. Speaking of mom, I went down to see her on Thursday to take her out to lunch. She was kind of shuffling her feet and got a little winded. She also wasn't wearing her glasses which didn't help. Anyway, I'm going to be pulling out my Christmas books that include crafty stuff. The holidays are coming up fast!
That Pinterest sure is great for getting ideas. I love to go there and just look around. The only problem is the page always gets stuck as it loads.
I, too, will look forward to seeing what you make from all that inspiration.
I've been buying all the latest magazines with all the Christmas ideas and recipes, something I always love to do at this time of year:-) The wreath made with Styrofoam and glass balls sounds wonderful, make sure you show us if you make one!! I was thinking of making a few candy wreaths (with ribbon, you tie up wrapped candies to a wire wreath) and I should make up my mind soon as it's a long process!
Hopefully your mom is not having heart problems…always worry about that when they get winded. I brought my mom out for lunch and shopping on Wednesday and I find she tires out real easily.
Thanks for your concern about my mom, Carole. She gets checked out a lot. She's too thin and doesn't walk around stores like she use to. I suggested a few times around the yard, but she has to be careful the dogs don't trip her. Brian's dad is 88 1/2 and has a bad toe and won't walk around.


The ties between Colombia and Aurovalley were strengthened with the visit of Colombia's ambassador to India and two diplomats on August 3, 2013.
This was the first time ambassador Juan Alfredo Pinto had come to the ashram after years of hearing about Aurovalley and wanting to visit. He was accompanied by diplomats Pieroangelo Gandini and Francisco Meneses and Oscar Bello also from Colombia.
It was a short stay however the ambassador and diplomats fully involved themselves in the activites we have here at the ashram. Ambassador Pinto even tried out the morning yoga class. The group embraced the peaceful and calming atmosphere of Aurovalley and were in appreciation of a place that is considered a second home to many Colombians.
Next was a tour of the World Temple where ambassador Pinto, diplomats Piero and Francisco and Oscar gave their blessings to the Kadam Tree with water and soil from Colombia. This was followed by a walk though the entire ashram.
Ambassador Pinto thanked Swamiji for his hospitality and promised to stop by again. He also emphasized his enthusiasm for enriching the relationship between India and Colombia and felt that Aurovalley will play an integral part in this growing relationship.

I have enjoyed decorating the different parts of our home this fall season. The natural elements that are growing in front of my eyes is like a gift. Our shrubbery and hydrangeas make a beautiful background for our knee wall but I added pumpkins and colorful leaves and even a few feathers.
This is what I mean by natural elements. Color just crawling down my weathered fence near my evergreens.
I visited the Chanticleer Inn and enjoyed the beauty of their water features.
These mushrooms are unbelievable. They are huge. I thought they were flowers. These were located at the base of a tree at Lake Julian. I go there every day to take Davis to his rowing class. Wish I could give you a proper name for these mushrooms.
Goat cart filled with autumn beauty.
I just loved this water feature with all the rock. I bet Bob could do something like this.
A beautiful door and stone wall at the Chanticleer Inn.
My geraniums refuse to give up in spite of my neglect of them…so beautiful in this sunlight.
I hung these pumpkins on the tree….I am all about the pumpkins. Even this little artificial swag is sweet to me. I have an affinity for this time of year that I can't quite express. I think the years on the farm with Mother and Dad and their love of the land and all it produced is a huge part of it.
I think its just about fall y'all! Thank you for sharing with me.
Dianne, these photos of water fall, knee wall are just breath taking. Probably my favorite being the mushrooms from Lake Julian…….Flowers of a kind. Always enjoy your pics whether at home or far away.

\section{Introduction - V4046 Sgr AB}
\label{intro}
V4046 Sgr is a nearby ($\sim$73$\,{\rm pc}$) pre-main sequence (PMS) binary\footnote{V4046 Sgr may
be a quadruple system \cite{kas11}.  \cite{tor06} first speculated that the distant GSC 07396-00759
(projected separation $\sim$12,350$\,{\rm au}$) was a companion to V4046 Sgr AB. Our detailed study
of this weakly bound object revealed that it is likely a spectroscopic weak-line T Tauri binary system, and
was christened V4046 Sgr C[D] by \cite{kas11}.}, and a candidate member of the $\beta$ Pictoris Moving
Group \cite{tor06}. It is a double lined spectroscopic binary that is still accreting from a large circumbinary
disk \cite{ros12,ros13}, despite being of an age ($\sim$13$\,{\rm Myr}$) at which the disks of most other PMS stars have dispersed (e.g. \cite{mam09}). At this age, both stars of the system have developed
substantial radiative cores within their interiors \cite{don11,gre12}. The stellar parameters are listed in
table~\ref{binpara}. Below we present the main observational findings from a multi-wavelength observing
program which targeted V4046 Sgr in 2009, and give brief details of a newly developed binary magnetic
field extrapolation code that we are using to model the binary magnetosphere.

\subsection{A near-simultaneous multi-wavelength observing program}
\label{obs}
Near-simultaneous optical and X-ray monitoring of V4046 Sgr was carried out in September 2009,
covering $\sim$2.5 and $\sim$2.2 orbital cycles respectively.  The main goal of the program was to
characterise the 3D magnetic and accretion flow geometry of the system, as well as the properties of the
X-ray emitting plasma.  Time-resolved optical/X-ray spectra are essential for this purpose, as previously
demonstrated for the accreting PMS star V2129 Oph \cite{donv2129,arg11}.

{\it Optical observations}: spectropolarimetric observations were obtained with ESPaDOnS at the Canada-France-Hawai'i
Telescope from 3-9 September 2009 \cite{don11}.  Small rotationally modulated circular polarisation
signals were detected in the photospheric absorption lines, but (unusually for accreting PMS stars) no
signal was measured in the accretion-related emission lines suggesting that accretion hotspots may be
distributed across the stellar surface (consistent with their complex magnetic fields, see below).

(eccentricity $\le0.01$; \cite{ste04}).}
\label{extrap}
\end{figure}

A tomographic imaging code was applied to the circularly polarised spectra to produce magnetic maps of
each star \cite{don11}; the first such maps to be obtained for a close accreting PMS binary.  Both stars
host highly complex large-scale magnetic fields \cite{don11}, as has been found for other PMS stars with
similar interiors consisting of large radiative cores and outer convective envelopes \cite{gre12}. The
magnetic fields are multipolar with strong toroidal components, while the poloidal components are mostly
non-axisymmetric.  In particular, the dipole components are weak, of polar strength
$\sim$100$\,{\rm G}$ \& $\sim$80$\,{\rm G}$ on the primary/secondary, and highly tilted relative to the rotation axes ($\sim$60$^{\circ}$ \& $\sim$90$^\circ$) with a phase difference of $\sim$0.7 between the planes of the
tilts \cite{don11,gre12}.

{\it Xray observations}: the {\it XMM-Newton} observations of V4046 Sgr, consisting of three $\sim$123$\,{\rm ks}$ observing
segments separated by $\sim$50$\,{\rm ks}$ gaps, were obtained between 15 \& 20 September 2009
\cite{arg12}.  Strong X-ray emission from cool plasma of temperatures $3-4\,{\rm MK}$ and number
densities $10^{11}-10^{12}\,{\rm cm}^{-3}$ was detected (as it was previously by \cite{gun06}). This
plasma, which is cooler and denser than is typical of coronal plasma, is associated with accretion
shocks, where gas channelled along magnetic field lines slams into the stellar surface at supersonic
speeds.

The emission lines in the X-ray grating spectra produced by the high density plasma displayed periodic
flux variations with a period of $1.22\pm0.01\,{\rm d}$, half of the binary orbital period of $2.42\,{\rm d}$
\cite{arg12}.  This is the first time that rotationally modulated accretion shock X-ray emission has been
detected from a PMS star.  At first glance this appears inconsistent with the optical observations, as it
suggests discrete accretion hotspots.  However, the accretion column/spot geometry may indeed be
complex as X-rays from accretion shocks can only be detected at certain viewing angles when hotspots
are not obscured by the dense accreting gas \cite{arg11}.

\section{The magnetosphere of V4046 Sgr AB extrapolated from magnetic maps}
\label{field}
A new binary magnetic field extrapolation code has been developed, allowing
for the construction of 3D models of the joint magnetosphere of binary stars
from observationally derived magnetic maps~\cite{hol13}.
The models are generated in the framework of the potential field-source
surface approximation, in which the magnetosphere is taken to be current-free
and the effect of magnetised winds is mimicked through magnetic fields being
purely radial on the source surface.

The magnetic field, $\vec{B}= -\nabla\Psi$, in the current-free region is
determined by the solution of Laplace's equation, $\nabla^2 \Psi= 0$, subject
to boundary conditions given on the source surface and on the surface of the
two stellar components. The starting point for the binary field extrapolation is the \emph{ansatz},
\begin{equation}
\Psi (\vec{r})=
\sum_{\ell m}
\left(
\alpha_\ell^m a_\ell^m
+
\beta_\ell^m b_\ell^m
\right)
+
\sum_{\ell m}
\left(
\gamma_\ell^m g_\ell^m
+
\delta_\ell^m d_\ell^m
\right)
+
\sum_{\ell m}
\left(
\epsilon_\ell^m e_\ell^m
+
\zeta_\ell^m z_\ell^m
\right).
\label{ansatz}
\end{equation}
The three sums on the RHS describe the contributions of the source surface,
primary surface and secondary surface to the total potential $\Psi$, where
$a_\ell^m (\vec{r}_0), b_\ell^m (\vec{r}_0), g_\ell^m (\vec{r}_1), d_\ell^m (\vec{r}_1),
e_\ell^m (\vec{r}_2)$, and $z_\ell^m (\vec{r}_2)$ are solid spherical harmonics with
$\vec{r}_0, \vec{r}_1$, and $\vec{r}_2$ being vectors connecting the centre of the spheres
representing the source surface, the primary star, and the secondary star, respectively, to
the point $\vec{r}$.
By applying a least-squares fit of observed magnetic surface maps and source
surface conditions, we derive the equation
\begin{equation}
\mathbf{A} \left( \begin{array}{c} \vec{\alpha} \\ \vec{\beta} \\ \vec{\gamma} \\ \vec{\delta} \\
\vec{\epsilon} \\ \vec{\zeta} \end{array} \right) =
\mathbf{B} \left( \begin{array}{c} \vec{\chi} \\ \vec{\sigma} \end{array} \right)
+
\mathbf{C} \left( \begin{array}{c} \vec{\rho} \\ \vec{\varsigma} \end{array} \right)
\label{maeq}
\end{equation}
where the matrices $\mathbf{A}, \mathbf{B}$, and $\mathbf{C}$ contain sums of
products of solid spherical harmonics and their gradients, which depend only
on the geometrical properties of the binary/source surface system.
The vectors $\vec{\chi}, \vec{\sigma},\vec{\rho}$ and $\vec{\varsigma}$ on the
RHS of equation~(\ref{maeq}) are the known expansion coefficients of the magnetic
maps of the primary and secondary star.
The system of equations~(\ref{maeq}) is solved for the expansion coefficients
$\vec{\alpha},\vec{\beta},\vec{\gamma},\vec{\delta},\vec{\epsilon}$, and
$\vec{\zeta}$ using a singular value decomposition (SVD) algorithm.
Full details of the binary magnetic field extrapolation method will be
given in a forthcoming paper \cite{hol13}.

A field extrapolation from the magnetic maps of V4046 Sgr \cite{don11} is
shown in figure~\ref{extrap}.
The large-scale magnetic field of each star is highly tilted, and there are
``S-shaped'' field lines connecting through the interior region of the binary
from the dayside of the primary to the nightside of the secondary
\cite{gre13}. With such a field configuration it is unlikely that local
circumstellar disks, distinct from the global circumbinary disk, can form
around each star; as was suggested for V4046 Sgr based on hydrodynamic
simulations \cite{dev11}.  This will be addressed in a future paper, and
presented alongside detailed calculations of the accretion spot/flow geometry
of the system \cite{gre13}.

The Army Corp of Engineers has lessened but not stopped Lake O discharges that started September 20th, 2017 just prior to Hurricane Irma. Perhaps as the discharges have gone on at such a high rate for a comparatively long time, the plume has had a chance to extend its territory. In yesterday's photos, the dark, filthy plume is reaching clearly south beyond the exclusive Town of Jupiter Island.
Yesterday was a beautiful day, but the river and ocean waters of our entire region were ugly, possibly contaminated. How are we to enjoy our property and lives here?
When viewing the aerials below, please note the blue, sapphire-colored water just on the edge of the discharge plume. Yes, of course all estuaries put forth darkened fresh water after a rain event, and Ed and I could see this occurring just south at Jupiter Inlet. Nonetheless, the black, gigantic plume that we repeatedly endure for the St Lucie River/Indian River Lagoon due to discharges from Lake Okeechobee is an aberration.
Please let's all support Joe Negron and the public's work to build the EAA Reservoir; clean & send the water south!

A lone sailboat is a sea of blackness, confluence of the St Lucie River/Indian River Lagoon, once considered the most biodiverse estuary in North America and full of seagrasses, a nursery for the ocean..
I am very fortunate to have a small army of people helping me document the Lake Okeechobee discharges this year. Presently, it is the tremendous rate of government sponsored discharge from Lake O that is destroying the regions' economy and ecology, right before our eyes, ~once again.
Friends of my husband, pilots Dave Stone and Scott Kuhns, took these aerials yesterday, 11-8-17 around 5 pm. When I asked Scott about the plume, he relayed that it went 15 miles south almost all the way to Jupiter Inlet, and since there is also rain driven, fresh, dark- stained water flowing out of the Jupiter Inlet (not over-nutrified, black-sediment water from Lake O) there was no clear delineation of blackened plume to aqua ocean water, like usual–rather, the waters are all dark….
Up close of a boat in the plume. Look at the sediment! Covering what once was seagrasses and killing our near shore "protected" reefs.
Plume in black water. Brown on black. The ocean? You'd think it was an oil spill.

http://w3.saj.usace.army.mil/h2o/reports.htm–cfs over 4000 has been going on for weeks. A total blowout.
Lake O is connected to the St Lucie through the C-44 canal.
These aerial photos over the St Lucie Inlet were taken by my husband, Ed Lippisch, Sunday, October 29, 2017, at 1:45pm.
The number one issue here is the polluted waters of Lake Okeechobee being forced into the SLR/IRL because they are blocked by the Everglades Agricultural Area from going south.
The ACOE has been discharging Lake O waters into the St Lucie since mid-September. These over-nutrified and sediment filled waters continue to destroy our economy and ecology on top of all the channelized agricultural and development waters of C-23, C-24 and C-25. Stormwater from our yards and streets also adds to this filthy cocktail.
Near shore reefs, sea grasses, oysters, fish? A human being? Better not have a cut on your hand…Not even a crab has an easy time living in this.
We move forward pushing the SFWMD and ACOE for the EAA Reservoir with these sad photos and the fact that our waters are putrid at the most beautiful time of year as motivation. We will prevail. One foot in front of the other.
Save the St Lucie! Save the Indian River Lagoon!


The new head of the MTEC Smartzone is preparing to lead the business incubator into the next decade. CEO Daniel Jamison took over the reigns of the Smartzone two months ago after former CEO Marilyn Clark retired.
Jamison says he sees the impact the Smartzone can provide not only on the local economy but for the talented youth being developed here. "If you've grown up here, if you've lived past the first semester at Michigan Tech, you're probably going to keep coming back here and how do we provide a way for those people to have an income and do those things that they want to do in an area that's unique in the world and I've been to many, many parts of the world. This place has everything anybody could possibly look for except employment or income and my hope is I can continue to help improve that situation," said Jamison.
The MTEC Smartzone secured its funding from the state of Michigan for 15 years and is poised to continue to grow local technology startups in the Copper Country. "We're sized perfectly for the area for the deal flow, for the opportunities. We have space in our facilities which means, as the students become inventive in the spring as it gets warmer, we can start structuring companies that will grow organically and stay," Jamison said.

Tuesday Tips: Anchors up! How to prepare for boating season.
It's summer, the sun is shining, the weather is warming up and that means it is boating season! Here is a quick guide put together by some of our agents to help get you ready for the water.


Newborn baby girl dresses and clothes are so cute! When we first learned we were having a baby girl (years ago), my husband insisted that he be the one to give her her first dress. The dress he got her was a fancy, frilly pink dress with ruffles and an adorable white pinafore. The pinafore bib was embroidered with cute pink, yellow, and blue flowers (see photo below).
However, as Susan was our first baby, we knew little about sizes. When Susan was born, the beautiful pink dress my husband purchased for her would not fit. She was a preemie baby, and the dress was way too big.
My mom made her a some fancy baby clothes using the smallest baby dress patterns she could find, but eventually realized she needed to use an 18" baby doll dress pattern for the dress to come anywhere close to fitting.
The purple dress she is wearing in the photo above is one of those made using the doll dress pattern. My mom made Suzy lots of beautiful dresses. She always looked so cute in her Grannie's homemade dresses.
Susan in dress her dad bought her.
As you can see, it took a while for it to fit!
Over the years, I made Susan dresses, too. I used fabric and patterns to make many of her fancy dresses, but the memory of that trip to choose our baby girl's first dress is one that we both cherish.
Another special memory is when our daughter had a daughter of her own, the dress was passed down to our first granddaughter. I have pictures of my daughter wearing that dress, and pictures of her daughter wearing the same dress!
Baby dresses can, and often do, become treasured family heirlooms. When selecting a dress, keep in mind that more than one generation may wear it. Check it for sturdy seams, and quality construction.
As the first granddaughter my mom had, the first great-granddaughter my maternal grandmother had, and the first niece my sister had, my baby girl was never without beautiful clothes. Between them, they kept her closet full of gorgeous outfits.
The hardest part was deciding which dress for her to wear and which dresses to take when I went somewhere.
All those dresses are so cute. I do have one of my baby dresses that my mum made for me. She was an excellent smocker, so everything was pretty.
Hi Kathleen, thank you for commenting. Smocking is something that really makes a dress lovely. I enjoyed the Blogger's Pit Stop party. Thank you for hosting it.

South Bohemian Region
Nová Bystřice, - South Bohemian Region
South Bohemian Region > Nová Bystřice
Nová Bystřice
region: South Bohemian Region
district: Jindřichův Hradec
municipality: Nová Bystřice
Nová Bystřice is a small town with ca 3,000 inhabitants, located in the region Jindřichův Hradec close to the Czech-Austrian border. It is a terminus station of narrow-gauge railway dated 1897 leading from Jindřichův Hradec. The historical center of the town is listed as historical town zone.
The original village stood about 1 km from the present site of the town, near a trade route. The village is first mentioned in 1188. The area was colonized by Maltese Knights as a part of the slave county. The area fell to the Czech Crown in 1282 when it became property of the powerful South Bohemia-based Vítkovci family, and, specifically, Sezema of Landštejn, who founded a castle here.
In 1348 when Vilém of Landštejn became a counselor of Charles IV, a regional governor for Moravia, and a Prague burgrave respectively, Bystřice was developing quite significantly. In 1341 the village was promoted to a town. In the period 1381-1575 the town belonged to the family Krajíř of Krajek. Due to their Catholicism the town was burned down by Hussites to such an extent that it had to be built all over again. Its name-Nová Bystřice-dates back to this period, too. The Krajíř family died out on the spear side in 1575. The county was then owned by the Lobkowitz and the Kinski family. In 1615 Bystřice region gets to the Slavata family. In the period 1870-1939, in connection with industrialization, numerous local families left the country and moved to Vienna or America. Number of inhabitants rapidly decreased in the region.
In the Communist era due to its location near the Czech-Austrian border Bystřice did not have good times. But it changed in 1989 when the town finally saw beginning of its development related to tourism.
In the center of the town there is an oblong square with a Baroque fountain and a Marian pillar dedicated to the Holy Trinity erected in 1679 to express people's gratitude for the end of plague epidemic. The chateau located near the square used to be a castle in Gothic style, which was redesigned in Renaissance style, and, later on, extended in Baroque style. The oldest, still surviving part of the chateau are the cellars in the basement of the chateau.
The originally Gothic church of St.Peter and Paul was burnt down in the 17th century; then it was rebuilt into its present Baroque appearance. The wall paintings inside the church originate from the first half of 14th century. The small Renaissance church of St.Catherine dated 1585 represents another sacral building in the town.
On the southern outskirts of the town remains of the former town walls can be found.
The narrow-gauge railway running through so called Czech Canada from Jindřichův Hradec to Nová Bystřice is a great local attraction. It was open on November 1, 1897; it is 33 km long, and the gauge is 762 mm. There are two types of wagons operating there: modern ones from 1958, and old wagons drawn by a steam locomotive from 1907.

Review: I Finally Finished Death Stranding and I Get It Now
Posted at 3:00 pm on December 3, 2019 by Brandon Morse
I wanted to write this review way sooner, but I felt it necessary to finish Hideo Kojima's latest outing before I sat down to write about it. I felt it necessary, seeing as how this wasn't any kind of normal game. It was a cultural commentary that I fully wanted to explore fully before I actually gave my opinion on it. Now I'm done.
So let's talk about Kojima's first-ever solo outing…"Death Stranding."
Let me forewarn you. Like a Kojima game, this may get long and a bit confusing, but stick with me. Sticking it out together, oddly enough, is the very theme of this game and the heart of the devastatingly accurate message Kojima was trying to get across to us.
"Death Stranding" takes place in an apocalyptic future where the Earth is facing its last years. An event appropriately called the "death stranding" began with a series of massive explosions across America. No one is sure what caused them, but something about these explosions caused devastation on such a scale that the world of the living and the dead began to bleed into one another.
This merging caused a number of things to happen. Most notable was the arrival of a substance called "chiralium" from the land of the dead, or as they call it "the beach," due to the way the land of the dead manifests itself as a beach of gray sand, rocks, and an overcast sky. The beach is littered with the corpses of dead things you'd find in the ocean, such as crabs, dolphins, or whales.
The arrival of chiralium had a devastating effect on the planet. First, and most notable, was the creation of "timefall," which looks like regular rainfall, but actually accelerates the aging process for anything it touches so considerably that being caught in it unprotected will cause anything to age and deteriorate in a matter of seconds be it biological or not. The second is the presence of the dead who always seem to accompany the timefall in the form of ghosts attached to the sky via ghostly umbilical cords. Should they catch you, the will attempt to feed you to a supernatural beast from the beach.
Sounds weird, right? It's just getting started, but it will make sense soon.
Needless to say, timefall devastated the planet. Cities lay in ruins, the vast majority of the human population died off, and those that did survive now live in cities called "knots," or were the preppers that many people scoffed at before the death stranding occurred. To make matters worse, humans that are caught by the ghosts of the dead and fed to the "beached things" (BT's) cause a "void out" or a complete elimination of an entire area, like a nuclear explosion but without the explosion. Everything just disappears.

The presence of chiralium wasn't all bad, however. What remained of humankind jumped forward technologically by decades thanks to the element's odd properties, and even farmers found that timefall could be used to grow crops at a breakneck pace. It's the first post-apocalyptic story where starvation and lack of modern conveniences were the furthest things from being an issue.
The only issue people had was connecting to one another due to the loss of modern communications, but even that was solved by chiralium. They used the substance to create the "chiral network," a successor to the internet that is so fast and capable of transmitting massive amounts of data all at once that it makes today's internet look like two cans connected by a string. However, goods still needed to be sent all over the country like before, and as such, the courier is still a profession going strong.
And that's where you come in. You play as "Sam Porter Bridges" (played by Norman Reedus) a courier who specializes in navigating the timefall and the dead in order to bring packages safely to their destination.
To make an already long story short, you are tasked by the President of what remains of the United States (who is also your mother) to reconnect the cities and preppers by bringing them all into the chiral network while still carrying out your duty as a courier.
Hollywood may be out of ideas, but the gaming industry isn't.
Normally, I wouldn't go this in-depth about a game's plot but normally games don't have a plot this in-depth. Besides, it was important for me to highlight this for you so you could get the full picture of what Kojima was trying to say.
The world of "Death Stranding" is a metaphor for the world we live in today. We live in the world of the future where we could have everything we've ever wanted, but we're more plagued by separation than ever before, which is odd, given the invention of social media. In fact, according to Kojima, it's social media that has caused this separation.
"Today, we're so close together on social media. It's 24 hours a day, in real-time," Kojima told the Washington Post. "It may be too close. We're so closed on social media nowadays that people are wearing a mask, saying whatever they want."
"Because we've become so close, people are saying negative things easily," he continued. "We communicate without considering others, and a lot of that has to do with new technology. The original meaning of communication is to care and feel for others. Technology and the internet has sort of carried us in the wrong direction. So in "Death Stranding," with the indirect connections that the player has, I want to rethink what communication — and to think about others — is."
According to Kojima, this corrupted connection we've experienced has caused us to become isolated in our own worlds, becoming "beached things." In other words, in "Death Stranding" the dead ghosts connected to "the beach" via a ghostly umbilical cord is us.
But Kojima didn't want to leave us with nothing but a downer commentary on society. He wanted to put us into a position where we helped one another in our respective isolation. As such, he dipped into a style of game called a "Strand" game, or a system where the player is always playing alone, but can see the effects other players have had within the world of the game. For instance, in Dark Souls, other players may leave you messages written into the ground warning you of upcoming enemies or alerting you to secrets.
In "Death Stranding" this is taken to a different level. As Sam, you're tasked with transporting cargo to and from locations across the world, mostly on foot. The going can be rough, and you need to get your packages to their destination without breaking them and within a decent amount of time. You are given many different tools to complete this, and any tool you use and leave behind will also be there for a player who comes across that same place in their game. I can't count the number of times I found a handy rope that was left behind by another player while I was trying to descend a steep mountainside.
And it goes beyond just ropes and ladders. Players are given the option to leave shelters to shield you from timefall or give your Sam a safe place to rest. Vehicles that you may have abandoned may be picked up and used by other players as well. You can even help other players in the construction of roads.
Everything you do in Death Stranding is done to help, not just yourself, but someone else. Like the internet in the real world, you will never see the other person, but thanks to the game's Strand mechanic, you will be appreciative of the fact that they were there. You are always alone, but you are never far from help.
"You still feel lonely. But in this game, you will at a certain point realize that you are NOT alone," said Kojima.
Your mission to connect the survivors to the chiral network serves as a story element, but doing so also invites other players to help you, and be helped by you.
I've seen many people call Kojima a mad genius. I'd never really understood. I've only played four of his games and only finished two of them, including "Death Stranding." However, after finishing it, I have to agree. Kojima really has done something special here.
Kojima said during his Washington Post interview that he wanted people to walk away from "Death Stranding" with something more than just fun game experience. He wanted us to walk away with something positive.
"So what they learn and feel in the game world, I want them to use in the real world as well."
The odd thing is, when it came to the game, the happiest I felt playing it was, indeed, when I was helping out others. I would create bridges or leave behind ropes and ladders with the idea in mind that someone else would be using it soon and that I should be putting it in the most convenient and easily accessible place. I took real joy in the fact that I was helping someone else out, not just myself.
It's a lonely feeling game, and Kojima and his team really do a good job of making you feel like that from the immaculately rendered landscape that is as vast as it is devoid of life, to the soundtrack by haunting bands like "Low Roar." That said, I never felt like I was on my own and that other players were trying to help me just as I was trying to help them.
It's a warm feeling, and as such, I think Kojima succeeded in his quest.
With all that said. Do I recommend "Death Stranding?" It's definitely not for everyone. The game is a slog by design, and it will require you to put time into it. There's no fast-paced action. Even combat against the bosses doesn't get your adrenaline going as high as your typical Call of Duty multiplayer game. The story and the world are complex and may require some extra reading to understand it, but it's absolutely fascinating if you have the patience to put into it, and not everyone does.
"Death Stranding" may not grace a lot of people's libraries, and won't even sit in my top five games, but it was definitely a special experience that I wish everyone could have.

PHOTO: Image Leaks of Barcelona's Rumoured Kit for the 2018/19 Season
October 24, 2017 admin FOOTBALL 0
An image has leaked online of Barcelona's supposed home kit for the 2018/19 season.
Footy Headlines, a serial football kit-leaking website with a proven track record, published a photo of what looks like a throwback to their 2011/12 campaign.
It looks as through, on first glance, that the stripes are a lot thinner than what the club have sported in recent seasons.
The shirt is once again sponsored by Japanese e-commerce firm Rakuten, who have been associated with Barca since the start of the current season.
The Blaugrana's current home strip features stripes in the centre of the shirt which gradually fade out into a block blue colour at the sides.
Meanwhile, Barca could be set to enter the 2018/19 season as champions after making a solid start to the new season despite the loss of Neymar in the summer.
Ernesto Valverde's side are still unbeaten, having won eight and drawn one, and ran out 2-0 winners against Malaga on Saturday. They are eight points clear of Real Madrid, with high-flying Valencia in second, just four points further back.

At almost every restaurant, one thing you can expect is for the waitress to ask if you want a smoking or non-smoking table. It's an elementary question, but it is one that shouldn't need to be asked. This simple question may seem normal, but smoking in public places is a health and safety hazard and should not be allowed.
Smoking is an extremely unhealthy habit. Burning just one cigarette releases over 4,000 chemicals into the air. This smoke can trigger some asthma attacks, and who would like 4,000 pollutants clogging their lungs?
Spending one hour with a smoker is the equivalent of smoking four cigarettes. This recycled smoking, or second hand smoke, can endanger the health of others, especially those that are very old or very young. If every public place allowed smoking, that would be like smoking wherever you go. There are no laws about smoking while driving, but it is a hazard that should be looked into. Cigarette smoke contains a chemical called carbon monoxide, which, when taken in excess, can cause the smoker to feel dizzy and off balance. How can this be called safe driving? Many smokers, when smoking in a car, will throw cigarette butts out the window instead of waiting and throwing them away. This is nothing short of being a litterbug.
Smoking is a danger to the environment. Cigarette smoke pollutes the air, and adds to our acid rain problem. Cigarette filters are non-biodegradable, which means they will not decompose. These filters could be choked on by animals and small children, and no one wants to clean up after those who don't clean up after themselves.
Some countries have banned smoking in public places, but America has yet to follow suit. Even some of the most family oriented restaurants allow smoking. The people eating at these restaurants could include babies, senior citizens, people with asthma, and those who in general would prefer not to be around smoke. If they were really family restaurants, smoking would not be allowed.
Some smokers may feel they have the right to smoke, but non-smokers also have the right to be disgusted with the rude, ignorant, sloppy, and inconsiderate people who smoke.
Typical.The anti-smoking brigade is not happy with banning smoking here,so now they want to ban it in America as well.Where next? Brazil? Ukraine? Kazakstan? Or...Australia?
TT, it's a pity that foolishness is not painful, or in your case terminal.
Wrong. You make lots of wild accusations and allegations but cite no real science to back them up. That's because there is none. You simply are a stooge for the prohibitionists.
The WHO shows the same attitude as the supporters of man made climate change and speed cameras; if the science proves you wrong, just ignore it.
I read some of the comments saying cars pollute the air more than smokers but smokers pollute the air worse than old desiel trucks, and now with all these fancy new cars that have such a small emission, why would they say no driving before no smoking. To go with that what positive affect does smoking really have, lung cancer, gross teeth, rank smell. Well... Okay if that's what your into, but I personally think driving makes everything easier, I don't know about everyone else but I can't take a bus everywhere or bike wherever I want, I don't have trains or things like that, cars make it much easier to get around.
smoking is so stupid why waste your life. you only live it once so make the most of it...... although it is your life and you should be able to livei t your own way. peace out!
I believe that all non-government businesses should have the right to decide whether or not smoking is allowed on their premises. I don't believe that government should be able to make this decision for business owners. I also believe that smokers are being unreasonably taxed. I live in GA where the average price for a pack of cigarettes is $5. I recently visited Washington and Arizona where prices average $8. It seems unfair to me that smokers pay so much for the goods, then have so many restrictions on where they may or may not smoke. The tax money is going to a good cause - insurance for children... So why can't smokers be "rewarded" in a sense, by having a little more freedom?
This girl is obviously against smoking, but she also makes a lot of invalid and contradictable points. For instance, "Smoking is an extremely unhealthy habit". Yes, it is, but it's also the smokers CHOICE to smoke. If someone wants to pollute their lungs with cigarette smoke, LET THEM! "Burning just one cigarette releases over 4000 chemicals into the air". This may be true, but think about our cars. They pollute the air worse than the smokers, but you don't see any "No Driving In Public" Laws! That would be stupid! And as for her statement about the smoke triggering some asthma attacks, smoking is only one of many triggers. You can't baby-proof the world, I'm sorry. Smoking is no more dangerous than the drinkers and alcoholics, but you don't see many people complaining about them. And quite personally, I don't think smoking is really that big of an issue as people make it out to be. I'm thinking that "Mommy" and "Daddy" have beat that smoking is soooo terrible into all these kids heads, and so they're going off of what their parents have to say without making their own decisions.
These people that talk crap about the dangers of cigarette smoke should really think hard about the pollutants they put in the air when they get in their vehicles! I would much rather sit next to a smoker in a room,than I would sit in a room with the car running. How many vehicles do you think are on the road each day. I bet these people don't think twice about whether their killing anyone with their pollutants. It's not cigarette smoke causing everybody cancer. It's everybody that gets in a vehicle. Is that YOU?
What absolute rubbish!! This girl has patently no idea whatsover regarding the true issues concerning smoking effects on people or the environment. As a British Scientist and a Member of the Chartered Institute of Water and Environmental Management, I can only assume she has written this in high school. Her comments unfortunately are obviously 'media gleaned' and, like most of the general public, she believes what she is told by the media. I would most certainly ask her for a list of the Bibliographic proof for her asumptions, with accompanied dates of publications titles and names of essayists and prime statistical facts to give credence to such strength of opinion. It is uneducated people making unsupported and invalid claims that causes a problem to today's society by confusing the ill informed populace.
a lot more people are still being exposed to unhealthy water. yet public fluoridation continues even though it has been largely discredited.
I think America remembers what happened during Prohibition & will have more sense!
I agree with you that not all smokers are low class, but unlike misinformed older generations, we know now that smoking is a drug habit. In reality, it shouldn't be viewed as a privilege. The only reason it's still legal is because of greed. Since it is legal, then it should be allowed in adult environments, such as bar rooms, but not where there are children present. It not only sets a bad example for young minds, it is especially unhealthy for small developing lungs. To say that second hand smoke is insignificant because the air is already polluted is nothing more than a rationalization.
It is extremely unfair to class all smokers as "rude, ignorant, sloppy and inconsiderate". this is ridiculous as are all broad statements stereotyping certain social groups. I am a smoker and take full responsibility for my health, as an individual, if I choose to damage my own health who is the state to stop me? Even though I would not willingly cause discomfort or annoyance to non smokers, I think that if bars, clubs, pubs and restaurants were seperated into smoking and non smoking proportionate to the amount of smokers in that area it would solve the problem. also where did your rubbish statistics come from? "spending one hour with a smoker is the equivalent to smoking four cigarettes", seems unlikely considering only the most heavy smoker would smoke that amount in an hour. also the environmental issue is insignificant compares to the damage done by industry and by us in other aspects of our lives.
Smokers rights - because I like to smoke!

Matric results will no longer be published publicly in South Africa
By Charles Molele
The national matric results for learners in public schools are expected to be announced on 20 January 2021 by Basic education minister Angie Motshekga. PHOTO: SUPPLIED
THE Department of Basic Education has announced that matric exam results will no longer be published on media platforms, in line with the recently introduced Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
In a statement, the department said that publishing personal information online would be a contravention of the Act. It confirmed that matric results are still scheduled to release on 21 January 2022 and that results would still be available from schools.
Historically, the matric results have been made widely available with students identified through their ID numbers.
"In order to comply with the provisions of the POPIA, the usual practice of publishing the National Senior Certificate (NSC) results on public platforms (media platforms) will not occur for 2021," it said.
"As was also the practice in previous years, all learners will be required to obtain their statement of results from the schools they attended. In this way, every learner's personal information with regards to the outcome of their National Senior Certificate exam will be protected."
Education experts have already warned that the difficult circumstances faced by matriculants are likely to result in a drop in marks. In 2020, the overall matric pass rate was 76.2%, substantially lower than the previous year's 81.3%. It was also worse than 78.2% in 2018.
Speaking to Afrikaans newspaper Rapport, Basil Manuel, managing director of education union Naptosa, said that it was highly unlikely that 2021's matric pass rate would be better than 2020, and that the best to hope for was a similar set of results.
He highlighted many of the same factors as Mweli which led to the 2021 cohort being put at a distinct disadvantage compared to previous years.
A total of 733,746 full-time students registered to write the 2021 NSC examination, the largest full-time cohort over the last few years. A total of 123,487 more full-time candidates and 46,942 part-time candidates registered to write the examination.
Of the candidates who registered for the examination, 700,604 wrote the examination, which reflects the lowest percentage of "no shows" (4.5%), over the last few years.
The national matric results for learners in public schools are expected to be announced on 20 January 2021 by Basic education minister Angie Motshekga, with individual results to be made available online at schools and electronically on 21 January 2021.


Shetland Recreational Trust operates 8 pools across Shetland, all of which offer a varied range of pool activities.
All of our pools offer public swimming sessions which are open for all users. For times, please view each Centre's pool timetable.
Some of our pools offer lane swimming sessions within their pool timetables. These sessions are ideal for those looking to swim recreationally for fitness or training. For times, please view each Centre's pool timetable.
Encouraging your child to learn to swim from a young age is one of the most important life skills you can give them and if they enjoy the water from a young age they will do so for the rest of their lives.
From August 2017 we'll be adopting the new National Framework for Swimming in Scotland which provides a clear set of national standards, as well as a pathway which allows you to follow how your child is progressing and what this actually means in terms of their swimming ability.
Watch the Scottish Swimming video below to learn more about the new Framework.
All children currently attending swimming lessons will be assessed and mapped over to the new Framework levels once the current block has finished in July. Each SRT Facility will have its own arrangements in place for advising parents of the booking process for classes starting in August 2017, this may be through Facebook, E-mail or telephone.
All pools offer one-to-one swimming lessons. These lessons are designed to supplement group swimming lessons and are a great way to build water confidence or develop specific skills and techniques that might not be so easily achieved in a group lesson setting. Times may be restricted and may vary between centres, please contact your local centre to find out more or to book a lesson.
We offer these workout classes at South Mainland Pool on a Tuesday between 8-9pm. Please contact South Mainland Pool Reception for further details or to book.
Available at Clickimin Leisure Complex you can choose to enter into the 3.6m depth of water from either our 1m high springboard or 3m platform. These sessions are part of our swim programme and during these sessions the lane swimming is reduced to 16m lanes. Please look at Clickimin Leisure Complex's pool timetable for available diving sessions.
All of our pools offer inflatable and fun sessions as part of their junior activity programme. Whether it is busy kids, Larry the Lobster, the Junior Challenge or the Dual Run these sessions are sure to be a hit with children of all ages. Please view our junior activity programmes for more details.
