This represents a decrease in fatalities from last year, when 142 oil and gas workers died. In the past decade, fatalities have risen along with the oil and gas boom in the U.S.:
But in 2013, the number of fatalities decreased, even though the number of oil and gas workers continued to grow. And, with the exception of 2009 when the boom slowed due to the recession, 2013 represents the lowest fatality rate (deaths per 100,000 workers) in the past decade:
How does oil and gas compare to other industries?
In 2013, the fatality rate for oil and gas industry was 19.1 deaths per 100,000 workers, compared to 3.2 deaths per 100,000 workers in all jobs, meaning an oil and gas worker was six times more likely to die on the job than the average American. This is an improvement over 2012, when oil and gas was seven times more dangerous than industry in general.
Has the oil and gas industry turned a corner in terms of worker safety?
Starting next week, Inside Energy will be taking a close look at the oil and gas industry's culture of safety:
Which boom states are the safest for oil and gas workers, and which are the most dangerous?
How does oil and gas's safety record vary state to state?
How does oil and gas compare to other dangerous industries?
What are some states – Wyoming and North Dakota – doing to improve safety for oil and gas workers, and are these measures working?
Find answers to these questions – and more – in our upcoming "Dark Side Of The Boom" series.
View the data:
The numbers BLS released today represent preliminary fatality counts. In eight months, BLS will publish revised numbers, which generally represent a two percent increase in workplace fatalities.
The oil and gas industry is defined using NAICS codes 211, 213111, and 213112.
To calculate the oil and gas fatality rate, Inside Energy used the number of workers from BLS's Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (annual average). BLS calculates overall fatality rates using worker hours, which accounts for part-time workers. We also calculated the overall fatality rate for American workers in 2013 using QCEW data and got a rate of 3.3 per 100,000 workers, which showed that the rates are comparable.

The 6 week training program with Tom was really fantastic and I would definitely recommend it. I lost 5% body fat and increased my lean mass to 91%. The sessions were hard but enjoyable. Tom mixed it up so I never did the same work out. I can notice the difference with defined abs and toned arms and bum!
Tom Wellman is a truly inspirational individual and a first class Personal Trainer; you will never make a better decision than starting to work with him.
18 months ago I contacted Tom Wellman out of desperation and a need to change my life. I was significantly overweight, depressed, suffering from poor posture and a slipped disc, in constant pain and living a life of sofas, TV and ready meals. I was 43 years old and felt about 61 and knew I could not let things continue.
Despite a lifelong terror of exercise and gyms I took the plunge and an 18 month journey of discovery followed that has changed my life beyond my wildest dreams. The weight fell off, my physique transformed, my energy soared. People told me I looked 10 years younger. The pains left me, my back has never been better, neither has my enjoyment and enthusiasm for life. I feel reborn.

BUSINESS PLACE, GOOD EATS
This Startup Is Introducing Global Travelers & Local Residents To A Different Way Of Dining
The idea for the travel dining platform, BonAppetour came after the thought of gate crashing a holiday dinner at a local home in London on Christmas Eve. Co-founder and CEO, Rinita Vanjre explains.
?My co-founder and I found ourselves in London on the evening of Christmas Eve one weekend, and since we were also very spontaneous travelers, we didn?t make plans or do much research before visiting,? she says. ?When we arrived, we saw that all the restaurants [even McDonalds] were closed, so we had nothing to eat that night. As we were trying to find a place that was open, we passed by homes and saw families celebrating Christmas Eve together, having a feast. A tiny part of us wished that we could just crash their dinner and share in their good experiences as well.?
According to Vanjre, this was the beginning of where they saw a need for what many may regard as the ?Airbnb of travel dining?. As she was traveling, they stayed in Airbnbs and liked it because it gave them a view of how each local city looks like. ?There was one particular Airbnb host who was amazing because when we arrived at her place in Edinburgh, she was super friendly; she even made breakfast for us,? Vanjre recalls. ?Because we had arrived at her house pretty early in the morning, she sat down with us and told us so many things to do in Edinburgh and shared many interesting perspectives of the city.? They left that experience thinking that they really connected with this particular host and made a new friend. It was at this point that the founders thought that every traveler should be given this type of opportunity.
?Although there is Airbnb, and that?s great, not all hosts have the patience or the passion to actually sit down with their guests and spend that type of quality time together with them, telling them more about their culture and other stories.?
BonAppetour Founders
Championing the evolution of the global food culture
The Singapore based startup leads as a pioneer at a time where not only when food culture around the world is evolving, but also when opportunities for innovation are plenty. The brand continues to evolve with ongoing changes and plans to stay on top of this growth. ?There are new menus coming up that reflect new ways of cooking food, and a lot of our hosts are people who have been taught by their grandmothers who have passed down their traditional recipes. What is great is that many of our hosts have also been exposed to various global cuisines and tend to incorporate elements of what they learned into their cooking to create some sort of fusion.?
Creating whole new recipes for their guests is something that BonAppetour hosts are mindful of, but it extends beyond the merge of different flavors. Guests have the opportunity to be extremely detailed about their meal requests, down to their niche dietary restrictions. ?A lot of people nowadays have particular dietary needs especially those who choose to go gluten free or are on say the paleo diet and many more. In a majority of cases, it might be difficult to find such foods at public diners, and not all restaurants offer such meals for very specific diets. The great thing about Bonappetour is that the host is cooking just for you, and they are able to customize their cooking to accommodate all of your dietary needs.?
What will ultimately pull all of this together is BonAppetour?s plan to create a community of people who are really passionate about cooking and about creating new flavors and establishing a global platform to share and exchange ideas with each other.
Smart, simple & user-friendly business model
BonAppetour?s business model is smart and user-friendly. It brings together a still rather fragmented global dining market industry, one that is largely offline and burgeoning, and presents it online. It is not only for globe-trotting individuals looking for unique local, cultural experiences — it?s also for individuals who are really passionate about their culture and their cooking, and gives them the opportunity to make their own way or make a mark in the hospitality industry. Their model is fairly similar to Airbnb?s, which helps potential guests book their reservations from an array of options, and are eventually matched with a potential host of their choice. A new BonAppetour mobile app, expected to launch in early July, will allow everyone to make bookings on-the-go, anywhere, anytime.
BonAppetour is now available on five continents and in some of the world?s top travel destinations like Tokyo, Paris, Cape Town and Florence. And it?s growing fast. And has caught the attention of financial heavyweights who are also investing in the service. In May 2016, the startup announced that it raised US$500,000 from Serial tech entrepreneur and investor, Wong Toon King of FarSight Capital and Prasetia Dwidharma, Indonesian angel investor Budi Setiadharma's investment arm, spearheaded by Arya Setiadharma and Ardi Setiadharma.
From Boston to Paris — Creating amazing dining experiences?and friendships
According to Vanjre, the startup?s biggest wins are when its customers and hosts are happy after their experiences, because without this, it doesn?t really have a reason to exist. From awesome birthday dinners to magical proposals, she highlights a few pleasurable user experiences that reinforce the startup?s ultimate mission. ?There was one event recently where a guest from Boston was traveling with his wife and a group of about 8 friends for his 50th birthday. He wanted to surprise his friends by not letting them know he was planning a home dining experience. It turned out to be really successful and he was really happy that the host [a perfect stranger at the time] was willing to make such arrangements for him and play along with his idea.?
In another example, a rooftop proposal in Italy overlooking the city?s skyline was successfully executed down to the very detail, complete with a musician, flowers, videographers and close friends, because the host turned friend was on the ground to help the future groom make all of these arrangements for the special day.
BonAppetour seeks to change the way people dine around the world as they travel, but the startup realizes that it will take it setting itself apart to make the type of difference that is necessary to achieve success. ?From a strictly economic viewpoint, I would think that the travel industry is pretty heavily monopolized by certain companies that have been in existence for a while, and because of their presence, they get most of the customers traveling to a particular city. For newcomers to the industry, it can be difficult to make a mark and rise to success.?
What works for BonAppetour is that it is not your typical ?touch and go? travel platform. For a lot of travelers who just go on sightseeing trips for example, they do not actually get the opportunity to better understand how things function appreciate why their destination city has become the way it is both socially and culturally. This is where the platform adds much needed value.
?One thing about it is that apart from giving people the opportunity to make friends and have a great meal, we are giving people an opportunity to understand the culture at a much deeper level than they would otherwise have been able to,? Vanjre explains.
Of importance to the startup is the goal of creating a world that is not based on any type of bias or preconceived notions of other cultures. ?A lot of the times when we have guests dining with our hosts in a city like say, Paris, they often comment about how friendly the hosts were, when before their experience, they really thought the French were all snobbish and arrogant.?
Vanjre reiterates that the startup is very focused on global travelers, but sees their offerings to be something that even locals will find valuable. She and her co-founders see this type of social dining become a norm especially for new residents to a city, including expats and immigrants, who want to assimilate into the community and be an active part of a cultural immersion experience even in their own homes. ?In Singapore for example, we have so many different races — Indians, Chinese, Middle-Easterners, Indonesians and a large expat community of Italians and French. All of these people will want to learn more about each other through the dining experience.?
Eventually, BonAppetour would like to expand its offerings into some of the key culinary hubs around the world, but the most immediate next step is to enable dynamic booking for people to book on the day of itself through its new mobile app. ?We see this to be a sign of huge growth for people in the community who want to look for something cool to do in the evenings or on the weekends and also for travelers who are looking for something more immediate, like where to eat today. So this is the plan for a least the next six months.?

news, world
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promised to unite the country after a big election win, with his party on course to increase its majority on a mandate of business-friendly policies and a tough stand on national security. Official data from the Election Commission showed Modi's Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead in 300 of the 542 seats being contested, up from the 282 it won in 2014 and more than the 272 seats needed for a majority in the lower house of parliament. That would give it the first consecutive majority for a single party since 1984. "Together we will build a strong and inclusive India," Modi said on Twitter. "India wins yet again!" Modi's victory boosted financial markets as investors expect his government to continue to pursue economic reforms. He will be under pressure to provide work opportunities for the tens of millions of young people coming on to the job market in the next few years and to boost depressed farm incomes. But making good on his promise of unity will be difficult as the BJP campaign was often divisive, and members of the minority Muslim community expressed fears that they were being treated as second-class citizens. His pledge to take a strong stand against a separatist movement in the Muslim-majority Kashmir region has added to tensions with nuclear-armed rival Pakistan. Members of his party now want him to take a harder line on national security, as well as build a Hindu temple on the site of a mosque that was demolished by a Hindu mob in Ayodhya in 1992. "I want Modi to finish terrorism from Kashmir (and) make Pakistan bite the dust again and again," said Shekhar Chahal, a BJP worker from New Delhi. "I am confident that Modi will also make the temple in Ayodhya." Cheering supporters set off firecrackers and showered the mastermind of the campaign, BJP President Amit Shah, with petals as he arrived at party headquarters in New Delhi. "It's a stamp of approval by voters on the honest and decisive leadership of Prime Minister Modi," said Nalin S Kohli, a BJP spokesman. Congress leaders were sombre. "Why despite a weak economy people preferred the BJP is something we have to understand," said Salman Soz, a party spokesman. "People have given them a second chance. I hope they use it well." The NDA's predicted margin of victory, at 348 seats to 85 for the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance, according to TV channel NDTV, is much larger than surveys indicated in the run-up to the vote. Most polls indicated a victory for Modi's alliance but short of an overall majority. Final results are due by Thursday evening. Australian Associated Press

Spight Rules
Difficulty: Advanced Keywords: Rules
I have proposed these two rules[2] which address the questions of endless repetition and stopping play at the end of the game.
A board play may not repeat a previous whole board position unless a pass has intervened since its last occurrence.
Play stops when the same player passes a second time in the same board position.
With area scoring play ends when play stops. With territory scoring play stops twice. After the first stop there is an encore in which a pass costs one point and each player makes the same number of plays (considering a pass a play). Also, passes before the encore do not count for stopping play in the encore. After the second stop play ends if each player has made the same number of plays. If not, the second player in the encore makes an obligatory pass and play ends.
/Discussion
-- Bill Spight
Bill: I am thinking of making a complete set of rules that people might actually play by. I would like to get some feedback on different rules for stopping play. While I think that my original idea, above, is adequate, there are other possibilities that people might like better. Here are the current alternatives I have in mind. Please comment below. Thanks. :-)
1) Play stops when the same player passes a second time in the same position. Play may resume with the passer to play, with ko bans lifted.
2) Play stops when a player plays to a position where his opponent has passed before or passes in that position. Play may resume in turn, with ko bans lifted.
3) Play stops with two consecutive passes. Play may resume in turn, with ko bans lifted, except as provided next. If a player has made the last pass in a particular position, his opponent may never make a board play that returns to that position.
Note for all alternatives: There may still be a ko or superko ban against returning to the current position.
Comments here, please.
The Count: I put my comments at the end.
Anonymous: This 3x4 example shows a game which ends (by Spight rules) in a way that might be considered unnatural.
{Explanatory discussion under construction.}
Spight rules are based upon the idea of evaluation. First, play should stop in a position that has a definite value (score). Second, the score of such a position may be determined by play with passes that have a value.
Using passes to evaluate positions is based upon the idea that if one player makes a play that gains a certain amount, and then the other player makes a play that gains the same amount, the result is the same as the value of the original position. If we treat a pass like a play and the value of a pass is the same as the value of best play (under these conditions) in a position, the resulting position after a sequence of best plays and passes with the second player passing last will have the same value as the original position.
Half point
By convention the framing stones are alive. We count the Black territory in the corner as 1/2 point. (OC, at the end of the game it will be worth 0 or 1.) The miai value of a move at a is also 1/2.
Suppose that the value of a pass is 1/2 point, that Black plays at a, and then White passes. Black gets 1 point in the corner but White gets 1/2 point for the pass, so the result is 1/2 point, the same as the original value of the corner.
Here the corner is worth 1/3 point, and the miai value of a play is also worth 1/3 point.
Suppose that passes are worth 1/3 point. Then Black may take the ko, White passes, Black fills the ko, and finally White passes. Black gets 1 point for the captured White stone and White gets 2/3 point for the two passes, for a result of 1/3 point, the same as the original value.
Note that this works only if White's first pass lifts the ko ban, just as a board play would. Otherwise Black is not obliged to fill the ko.
All of this, of course, depends upon the value of a pass and the value of a play being the same. If passes are worth zero, and plays are worth zero or less, correct play in this environment of passes will not change the value of the position. The value of the position will remain the same. Thus, we can say that the position has a score.
Of course, it may be possible to calculate a score for some non-terminal positions, but only some positions are such that that calculation would produce the same result, even if play were to continue. Only such positions have a constant value that coincides with the score. They are scorable.
By area scoring, if we treat each stone on the board as alive, we can count one point for each stone on the board and one point for each point of surrounded territory. If some of the stones are dead, the result of that procedure will not be the value of the position. Provision may be made to remove dead stones by agreement, but continuing play should also lead to their removal, to reach a position with a constant score.
In the next example, under some area rules the game may end in a position where the current result is different from the one if play were to continue.
What result?
This example is a variant of one of Ing's. White to play.
= pass.
By AGA rules and some others, White can now pass and win the game by two points.
This result has its defenders, but it is anomalous. The game has stopped in the middle of a ko fight. It is a kind of Moonshine seki.
Under Spight rules play continues. Black's pass has lifted his ko ban.
Black wins
Usually rules differences produce small score differences. Here the difference is 27 points.
Since Wilton Kee has shown how his rules apply to the 2x2, I am following suit.
Greedy Black
With area scoring, Black may get greedy and try to win by one point. (This is possible under some rules, I believe.)
= pass
Note: If were in the top right corner, White could pass and end the game favorably.
Now Black is in a dilemma. No matter where he plays, White can pass and end the game favorably.
So Black loses if he passes at move 15. Instead,
Black takes
White takes
Game ends
, , = pass.
Since neither player can make headway, they pass, ending the game as seki. (Note that Black loses by 2 under territory scoring.)
The Count: Because rules 1 and 2 don't say "never" and resumptions are possible, can't you have endless cycles? For rule 2, say there is a single stone ko. Black takes, White passes, Black passes. Game ends. Game resumes. White takes, Black passes, White passes. Game ends. Game resumes. At this point, the cycle take-pass-pass-take-pass-pass could go on forever with the game ending and resuming after every move. Have I got this right? Maybe play can resume only once.
Anyway, I think rule 3 is conceptually the easiest, especially if you phrase it, "No player may ever return the board to the position in which the game temporarily stopped."
How about this, though. On their turn, a player can make a board play, pass, or "lift" (lift all ko bans). A player cannot "lift" a second time in the same position; all other rules the same. Similar to rule 1, but conceptually easier? Maybe you would object to adding a new type of move, "lift". The thing is, I think the consecutive-pass end rule is very nice. In my opinion, a pass should imply a player has nothing left to do, and two passes should imply an infinite pass cycle is about to begin, so the game can safely end.
In addition you could apply your rules to no-pass go with prisoner return, because when a player makes the special "lift" move, the rule could be that they give their opponent one of their own stones instead of returning one of their opponents. Otherwise, a player may not have the luxary of passing if they have no prisoners.
By the way, I'm not at all convinced that passes should lift ko bans.
Bill: Many thanks to The Count for your perceptive comments. :-) As for endless cycles, they do need another rule to say when a stop is final. I wanted to allow non-final stops to let the players agree about dead stones without having to play everything out.
The Count: Okay, this was originally going to be feedback to your Japanese-style ruleset, but I realise the main thing I have to comment on are the ko rules as addressed here.
If it is not required that endless repetition is forbidden, the rule for stopping play can be derived from the simple principle "the game must not end with unresolved kos". Normally, two passes ends the game because they indicate both players have nothing left to do. When passes lift ko bans, the passes may not indicate this. If you have three passes in a row, because the first one lifted all ko bans, the last two must have been an indication that both players have nothing to do in a ko-ban free environment and so all kos must have been resolved; the game can stop. (In fact, it's overkill because you don't always need three passes, but whatever.) We can easily imagine a situation where endless repetition is allowed to occur by this rule. For instance, in a single stone ko the six-move sequence of capture-pass-pass-capture-pass-pass can go on indefinitely. Another example is if a molasses ko is left on the board at the end of the game. The endless cycle would be the four moves in the ko followed by a pass followed by the opposite four moves in the ko followed by a pass.
The point is that the principle "the game must not end with unresolved kos" tells us what the stopping condition should be and furthermore that we must allow endless repetition if we are to abide by this principle. In your discussion of the proposed Spight Rules, you give an example of Ing's and say
"...it is anomalous. The game has stopped in the middle of a ko fight."
referring to the result with normal superko rules. You have implied that the aim of Spight Rules is that play must never stop in the middle of a ko fight. At least, I hope that is what you intend, because I think this well-defined principle can be the only reasonable justification for adopting the rule. Therefore, you must use a stopping condition which allows endless repetition. You mentioned in reply to my earlier comments about temporary stops and final stops, but the point is that if there were a rule about a final stop, it could theoretically end the game in the middle of a ko fight.
Because you must allow endless repetition anyway, I think this rule works better with the basic ko rule (not superko). In fact, because I can see a rationale for how it all works, now I quite like the idea.
Bill: Thanks, again, Count, for your response. :-)
A couple of quick comments: The aim of Spight rules is to provide rules based upon evaluation, as scores are final values. This applies to ko fights, as winning the ko results in a better score than losing it. To stop in the midst of a ko fight means stopping in a position theoretically without a score, even if it is scorable by other rules. BTW, I would not call rules that stop play in the middle of a ko or superko fight normal. ;-)
To say that the game must not end with unresolved kos is problematic. When is a ko resolved? What, for instance, about double ko seki? What about 10,000 year kos and approach kos? Under area rules, what about sending two, returning one? One aim of these stopping rules is to say when a ko or superko is resolved, even when it remains on the board.
As for your comments about the Spight Japanese style rules, I am eager to hear them. Please put them at the end of that page. Thanks. :-)
The Count: I will!
The Count: Okay, I had a very specific definition in mind.
A: "The game can end only when the players have passed consecutively."
If passes lift ko bans, add this:
B: "There were no ko restrictions when these passes were made."
A is the normal idea in superko rules because it means that both players agree that there are no worthwhile moves left. If passes lift ko bans, A on its own will not ensure that the players agree there are no more worthwhile moves. With B, it is ensured. The rules don't state that the game ends because players don't have anything left to do, but I think that most would agree that this is the reasoning behind two passes ending the game. If passes lift ko bans, it is crucial to use B in combination with A.
(Edit: in hindsight, I don't think this "worthwhile moves" thing is precise enough. See here.)
So, you have said you want a ruleset which is as close to the theory of evaluation as possible. I don't really know anything about CGT, but the following is what I think it means. A position can be assigned a property which we call the score. In go, the score of a position depends also on forbidden positions. So if you try and apply CGT using only the position of stones on the board, you can run into trouble. Is this right? Assuming it is, then if the above conditions are met, a position's score is always definite at the end of the game. It cannot depend on ko restrictions, because we are not allowing them to exist. So, if I understand what you're trying to achieve, these conditions are exactly what you want. In addition, I would imagine that many other people agree with idea of "agreement there are no worthwhile moves left", and so it could become popular in its own right.
So, if the game ends after three passes, we can be sure that conditions A and B are met. Perhaps this is easier than applying A and B directly which means sometimes only two are required. It should be obvious anyway. How does this apply to the situations you mentioned? (Of course, you already know.) One player can force endless repetition in double-ko seki if the other won't give in. Again, in sending two, returning one, one player can force endless repetition and the corresponding result (draw, no result, or whatever). This isn't the case in traditional Japanese rules, but of course that is not important.
Not sure what the approach ko is about. Perhaps Takahashi (from the Takahashi-Segoe game) can argue the thousand-year ko is "unresolved". It was my mistake to talk about "resolving kos". I was trying to simply represent the principle of the rule, so you have an intuitive feeling for what the point of the rule is. I guess the intuitive idea that I really meant was that players agree there are no more worthwhile moves. Oh, you do mention it too. You say, "One aim ... is to say when a ko or superko is resolved." I say, "A ko is resolved if the game ends using A and B."
Okay, that's the bulk of it. There is more though.
Admittedly, I had previously thought this was the only possible idea, but I think there is another: the players need not agree that the position they reach is the final score, as long as one can prove it "should" be. We can think of a pass when there is no ko restriction as a player effectively saying "I think we should score now." So, we might use the following definition.
A' "The game can end only when a player passes[1] in a position with the same score as the last position that either passed[1] in."
[1] B' "The above passes are only counted if they were made when there were no ko restrictions." (Same as B really.)
So in double-ko seki, one player is saying "I think we should score now" and the other player, who disagrees, cannot find a new position for which they can say "No, we should score in this position." and so once you return to the original position, the first player says "I told you, this is the final position! I've had enough! Let's score!" Same for sending two, returing one.
This makes both double-ko seki and "sending two, returning one" a seki position, not an endless repetition situation. However, two sending-two-returning-one situations becomes endless repetition again. Hmm, how do traditional Japanese rules deal with this? One player can force endless repetition as soon as two of these positions arise, and so you can't tell the player it is seki and to stop playing there! I would have to say that the conceptual idea of this scheme is less straightforward. However, it might be perfect for your Japanese style rules. I guess it would be very suprising if it matched up exactly though.

Alfred the sculptor—you know him? We all know him: he won the great gold medal, and got a travelling scholarship, went to Italy, and then came back to his native land. He was young in those days, and indeed he is young yet, though he is ten years older than he was then.
After his return he visited one of the little provincial towns on the island of Seeland. The whole town knew who the stranger was, and one of the richest persons gave a party in honour of him, and all who were of any consequence, or possessed any property, were invited. It was quite an event, and all the town knew of it without its being announced by beat of drum. Apprentice boys, and children of poor people, and even some of the poor people themselves, stood in front of the house, and looked at the lighted curtain; and the watchman could fancy that he was giving a party, so many people were in the streets. There was quite an air of festivity about, and in the house was festivity also, for Mr. Alfred the sculptor was there.
He talked, and told anecdotes, and all listened to him with pleasure and a certain kind of awe; but none felt such respect for him as did the elderly widow of an official: she seemed, so far as Mr. Alfred was concerned, like a fresh piece of blotting paper, that absorbed all that was spoken, and asked for more. She was very appreciative, and incredibly ignorant—a kind of female Caspar Hauser.
"I should like to see Rome," she said. "It must be a lovely city, with all the strangers who are continually arriving there. Now, do give us a description of Rome. How does the city look when you come in by the gate?"
"I cannot very well describe it," replied the sculptor. "A great open place, and in the midst of it an obelisk, which is a thousand years old."
"An organist!" exclaimed the lady, who had never met with the word obelisk. A few of the guests could hardly keep from laughing, nor could the sculptor quite keep his countenance; but the smile that rose to his lips faded away, for he saw, close by the inquisitive dame, a pair of dark blue eyes—they belonged to the daughter of the speaker, and any one who has such a daughter cannot be silly! The mother was like a fountain of questions, and the daughter, who listened, but never spoke, might pass for the beautiful Naiad of the fountain. How charming she was! She was a study for the sculptor to contemplate, but not to converse with; and, indeed, she did not speak, or only very seldom.
"Has the Pope a large family?" asked the lady.
And the young man considerately answered, as if the question had been better put, "No, he does not come of a great family."
"That's not what I mean," the widow persisted. "I mean, has he a wife and children?"
"The Pope is not allowed to marry," said the gentleman.
"I don't like that," was the lady's comment.
She certainly might have put more sensible questions; but if she had not spoken in just the manner she used, would her daughter have leant so gracefully on her shoulder, looking straight out with the almost mournful smile upon her face?
Then Mr. Alfred spoke again, and told of the glory of colour in Italy, of the purple hills, the blue Mediterranean, the azure sky of the South, whose brightness and glory was only surpassed in the North by a maiden's deep blue eyes. And this he said with a peculiar application; but she who should have understood his meaning, looked as if she were quite unconscious of it, and that again was charming!
"Italy!" sighed a few of the guests. "Oh, to travel!" sighed others. "Charming, charming!" chorused they all.
"Yes, if I win a hundred thousand dollars in the lottery," said the head tax-collector's lady, "then we will travel. I and my daughter, and you, Mr. Alfred; you must be our guide. We'll all three travel together, and one or two good friends more." And she nodded in such a friendly way at the company, that each one might imagine he or she was the person who was to be taken to Italy. "Yes, we will go to Italy! but not to those parts where there are robbers—we'll keep to Rome, and to the great high roads where one is safe."
And the daughter sighed very quietly. And how much may lie in one little sigh, or be placed in it! The young man placed a great deal in it. The two blue eyes, lit up that evening in honour of him, must conceal treasures—treasures of the heart and mind—richer than all the glories of Rome; and when he left the party that night he had lost his heart—lost it completely, to the young lady.
The house of the head tax-collector's widow was the one which Mr. Alfred the sculptor most assiduously frequented; and it was understood that his visits were not intended for that lady, though he and she were the people who kept up the conversation; he came for the daughter's sake. They called her Kala. Her name was really Calen Malena, and these two names had been contracted into the one name, Kala. She was beautiful; but a few said she was rather dull, and probably slept late of a morning.
"She has been always accustomed to that," her mother said. "She's a beauty, and they always are easily tired. She sleeps rather late, but that makes her eyes so clear."
What a power lay in the depths of these dark blue eyes! "Still waters run deep." The young man felt the truth of this proverb; and his heart had sunk into the depths. He spoke and told his adventures, and the mamma was as simple and eager in her questioning as on the first evening of their meeting.
It was a pleasure to hear Alfred describe anything. He spoke of Naples, of excursions to Mount Vesuvius, and showed coloured prints of several of the eruptions. And the head tax-collector's widow had never heard of them before, or taken time to consider the question.
"Good heavens!" she exclaimed. "So that is a burning mountain! But is it not dangerous to the people round about?"
"Whole cities have been destroyed," he answered; "for instance, Pompeii and Herculaneum."
"But the poor people!—And you saw all that with your own eyes?"
"No, I did not see any of the eruptions represented in these pictures, but I will show you a picture of my own, of an eruption I saw."
He laid a pencil sketch upon the table, and mamma, who had been absorbed in the contemplation of the highly coloured prints, threw a glance at the pale drawing, and cried in astonishment,
"Did you see it throw up white fire?"
For a moment Alfred's respect for Kala's mamma suffered a sudden diminution; but, dazzled by the light that illumined Kala, he soon found it quite natural that the old lady should have no eye for colour. After all, it was of no consequence, for Kala's mamma had the best of all things—namely, Kala herself.
And Alfred and Kala were betrothed, which was natural enough, and the betrothal was announced in the little newspaper of the town. Mamma purchased thirty copies of the paper, that she might cut out the paragraph and send it to friends and acquaintances. And the betrothed pair were happy, and the mother-in-law elect was happy too; for it seemed like connecting herself with Thorwaldsen.
"For you are a continuation of Thorwaldsen," she said to Alfred. And it seemed to Alfred that mamma had in this instance said a clever thing. Kala said nothing; but her eyes shone, her lips smiled, her every movement was graceful: yes, she was beautiful; that cannot be too often repeated.
Alfred undertook to take a bust of Kala and of his mother-in-law. They sat to him accordingly, and saw how he moulded and smoothed the soft clay with his fingers.
"I suppose it's only on our account," said mamma-in-law, "that you undertake this commonplace work, and don't leave your servant to do all that sticking together."
"It is highly necessary that I should mould the clay myself," he replied.
"Ah, yes, you are so very polite," retorted mamma; and Kala silently pressed his hand, still soiled by the clay.
And he unfolded to both of them the loveliness of nature in creation, pointing out how the living stood higher in the scale than the dead creature, how the plant was developed beyond the mineral, the animal beyond the plant, and man beyond the animal. He strove to show them how mind and beauty become manifest in outward form, and how it was the sculptor's task to seize that beauty and to manifest it in his works.
Kala stood silent, and nodded approbation of the expressed thought, while mamma-in-law made the following confession:
"It's difficult to follow all that. But I manage to hobble after you with my thoughts, though they whirl round and round, but I contrive to hold them fast."
And Kala's beauty held Alfred fast, filled his soul, and seized and mastered him. Beauty gleamed forth from Kala's every feature—gleamed from her eyes, lurked in the corners of her mouth, and in every movement of her fingers. Alfred the sculptor saw this: he spoke only of her, thought only of her, and the two became one; and thus it may be said that she spoke much, for he and she were one, and he was always talking of her.
Such was the betrothal; and now came the wedding, with bridesmaids and wedding presents, all duly mentioned in the wedding speech.
Mamma-in-law had set up Thorwaldsen's bust at the end of the table, attired in a dressing-gown, for he was to be a guest; such was her whim. Songs were sung and cheers were given, for it was a gay wedding, and they were a handsome pair. "Pygmalion received his Galatea," so one of the songs said.
"Ah, that's your mythologies," said mamma-in-law.
Next day the youthful pair started for Copenhagen, where they were to live. Mamma-in-law accompanied them, "to take care of the commonplace," as she said, meaning the domestic economy. Kala was like a doll in a doll's house, all was so bright, so new, and so fine. There they sat, all three; and as for Alfred, to use a proverb that will describe his position, we may say that he sat like the friar in the goose-yard.
The magic of form had enchanted him. He had looked at the case, and cared not to inquire what the case contained, and that omission brings unhappiness, much unhappiness, into married life; for the case may be broken, and the gilt may come off; and then the purchaser may repent his bargain. In a large party it is very disagreeable to observe that one's buttons are giving way, and that there are no buckles to fall back upon; but it is worse still in a great company to become aware that wife and mother-in-law are talking nonsense, and that one cannot depend upon oneself for a happy piece of wit to carry off the stupidity of the thing.
The young married pair often sat hand in hand, he speaking and she letting fall a word here and there—the same melody, the same clear, bell-like sounds. It was a mental relief when Sophy, one of her friends, came to pay a visit.
Sophy was not pretty. She was certainly free from bodily deformity, though Kala always asserted she was a little crooked; but no eye save a friend's would have remarked it. She was a very sensible girl, and it never occurred to her that she might become at all dangerous here. Her appearance was like a pleasant breath of air in the doll's house; and air was certainly required here, as they all acknowledged. They felt they wanted airing, and consequently they came out into the air, and mamma-in-law and the young couple travelled to Italy.
"Thank Heaven that we are in our own four walls again," was the exclamation of mother and daughter when they came home, a year after.
"There's no pleasure in travelling," said mamma-in-law. "To tell the truth, it's very wearisome—I beg pardon for saying so. I found the time hang heavy, though I had my children with me; and it's expensive work, travelling, very expensive! And all those galleries one has to see, and the quantity of things you are obliged to run after! You must do it for decency's sake, for you're sure to be asked when you come back; and then you're sure to be told that you've omitted to see what was best worth seeing. I got tired at last of those endless Madonnas; one seemed to be turning a Madonna oneself!"
"And what bad living you get!" said Kala.
"Yes," replied mamma, "no such thing as an honest meat soup. It's miserable trash, their cookery."
And the travelling fatigued Kala: she was always fatigued, that was the worst of it. Sophy was taken into the house, where her presence was a real advantage.
Mamma-in-law acknowledged that Sophy understood both housewifery and art, though a knowledge of the latter could not be expected from a person of her limited means; and she was, moreover, an honest, faithful girl; she showed that thoroughly while Kala lay sick—fading away.
Where the case is everything, the case should be strong, or else all is over. And all was over with the case—Kala died.
"She was beautiful," said mamma, "she was quite different from the antiques, for they are so damaged. A beauty ought to be perfect, and Kala was a perfect beauty."
Alfred wept, and mamma wept, and both of them wore mourning. The black dress suited mamma very well, and she wore mourning the longest. Moreover, she had to experience another grief in seeing Alfred marry again—marry Sophy, who had no appearance at all.
"He's gone to the very extreme," cried mamma-in-law; "he has gone from the most beautiful to the ugliest, and he has forgotten his first wife. Men have no endurance. My husband was of a different stamp, and he died before me."
"Pygmalion received his Galatea," said Alfred: "yes, that's what they said in the wedding song. I had once really fallen in love with the beautiful statue, which awoke to life in my arms; but the kindred soul which Heaven sends down to us, the angel who can feel and sympathise with and elevate us, I have not found and won till now. You came, Sophy, not in the glory of outward beauty, though you are fair, fairer than is needful. The chief thing remains the chief. You came to teach the sculptor that his work is but clay and dust, only an outward form in a fabric that passes away, and that we must seek the essence, the internal spirit. Poor Kala! ours was but wayfarers' life. Yonder, where we shall know each other by sympathy, we shall be half strangers."
"That was not lovingly spoken," said Sophy, "not spoken like a Christian. Yonder, where there is no giving in marriage, but where, as you say, souls attract each other by sympathy; there where everything beautiful develops itself and is elevated, her soul may acquire such completeness that it may sound more harmoniously than mine; and you will then once more utter the first raptured exclamation of your love, Beautiful—most beautiful!"

United Refining Co.'s Warren, Pa., refinery has reduced output by 35 percent to 40 percent and may run out of crude oil by Aug. 15, Chief Executive Officer John Catsimatidis said.
A "large amount" of the refinery's crude oil is supplied through the Enbridge Energy Partners LP pipeline that was shut July 26 after a leak near Marshall, Mich., according to a United Refining statement.
The Transportation Department rejected Enbridge's proposal to return the line to service Aug. 10, according to an e-mail message from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. The plan does not "adequately provide" for the safe restart of the pipeline, the agency said.
"If it goes on for much longer, you're going to see big signs outside that say, 'Out of Gas,'" Catsimatidis said. The refinery can process about 70,000 barrels of crude a day, he said.

Good thoughts that it will heal well. We're pulling for you here.
On departure from my overnight stay in the hospital the resident doctor gave me a prescription for pain killers Oxycodone being at the top of the list, not sure why he prescribed such a drug that is causing so many a lot of addiction problems particularly when i'm experiencing no pain.
Good idea - why take a risk if you don't even need to!
Just wondering how you are doing, Jambo.
Ive certainly had better times in my life.
I am sorry that you must undergo dialysis and about your eyesight. Unfortunately, I completely understand the position you find yourself in.
Have you contacted your nearest State school for the blind? It is far easier to learn some of the skills that you will need whilst you still have some usable sight.
Please feel free to DM me if you wish to discuss the loss of your vision.
So sorry to hear that, Jambo. Have you started dialysis yet, or are you waiting till the fistula can be used?
Hope they're able to find measures that will mitigate your discomfort.

Q: How to build an interactive Ajax Web Widget? I am looking to create a web widget that can be easily integrated into any website using javascript and posts a form to my server, returns the data and displays the results appropriately. This will all happend in a small area of the host websites screen, like google adsense. I am aware that this is XSS and also the cross domain issues with ajax.
What I need help with is cementing the flow of such a widget. Has anyone done anything like this before?
The general process is:

*

*Website embeds javascript - external js

*Javascript renders a form

*User submits form with POST data

*POST data is sent to external server

*Server responds and updates widget to display tabular data

Is this possible? How could it be achieved? Should I use / avoid using a JS framework such as Prototype / JQUery for this project?
If anyone knows any good tutorial resources for building widgets that would be great.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: using a library like jQuery is not possible, since you don't know whether the website that uses your widget has the jQUery-library referenced.
If you use an iframe, and show something of your own host, you are able to use a library if I'm not mistaken.

Vergleichbarkeit zu deutschen Studienangeboten
Niederländische und deutsche Bachelor- und Master-Studiengänge an Fachhochschulen und Universitäten gehören gemäß der Internationalen Standardklassifikation der Bildungsgänge ISCED, wie sie u. a. die OECD bei ihrer jährlichen international vergleichenden Untersuchung "Education at a Glance" benutzt, zur Tertiary type A education (ISCED 5A), also den akademischen Ausbildungen. Dies bedeutet, dass die Bachelor-Studiengänge der niederländischen Hochschulen qualitativ vergleichbar mit deutschen Fachhochschulstudiengängen der gleichen Studienrichtung sind und sie beinhalten zudem auf Grund der längeren Dauer des Studiums mehr Praxiserfahrung, welche sich auf die Einstellungschancen positiv auswirken.

Bislang verleihen die niederländischen Fachhochschulen Bachelor- und Master-Titel mit Fachbezeichnungen wie z. B. Bachelor of Music. Mit der nächsten Änderung des Hochschulgesetzes wird es ihnen ermöglicht werden, wie die Universitäten die Titel Bachelor of Arts und Bachelor of Science bzw. Master of Arts und Master of Science zu verleihen. Dies hatte schon die Expertenkommission für ein zukunftsbeständiges Hochschulsystem im April 2010 vorgeschlagen und die Regierung in ihrer Stellungnahme am 7. Februar 2011 akzeptiert.
Schon vor der Einführung von Bachelor- und Master-Studiengängen in der Europäischen Union behandelte die maßgebliche Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen beim Ständigen Sekretariat der Kultusministerkonferenz die niederländischen Fachhochschulabschlüsse als gleichwertig mit den deutschen Fachhochschulabschlüssen.

Seit der Bachelor-/Master-Struktur wird die Qualität von Studienprogrammen durch die Pflicht zur Akkreditierung bei einer mit dieser Aufgabe vom Staat betrauten Organisation gewährleistet. Die Niederlande waren ein Vorreiter bei der Herstellung von Transparenz und Vergleichbarkeit der Qualitätskriterien innerhalb Europas.
Österreichische, schweizerische und norwegische Akkreditierungsorganisationen erkennen die Akkreditierungen der niederländisch-flämischen NVAO seit Dezember 2007 automatisch an.
Dass Deutschland nicht bei den Unterzeichnerstaaten dabei ist, liegt nicht an der Qualität der niederländischen Studiengänge, sondern an Zuständigkeitsproblemen in Deutschland. Ansonsten ist die Zusammenarbeit mit Deutschland eng: "Joint accreditation procesdures were undertaken with three German accreditation organisations": ACQUIN, FIBAA und ASIIN.

Galway United F.C. was founded as Galway Rovers in the Claddagh district of Galway in 1937. The club achieved great success at junior level and had their first shot at senior football when they competed in the FAI League Cup in 1976. In 1977, the club was invited to join the then League of Ireland, making its debut in Terryland Park against St. Patrick's Athletic on the 28th August of that year. The club found it difficult to make an impact in the League Of Ireland at first, but gradually improved and reached its first major final in 1981, losing the League Cup final on penalties to Dundalk, in Oriel Park. It was then decided to change the name of the club to Galway United.
Success was soon to follow. United finished in sixth position in the league in 1985, and under the stewardship of Tom Lally and Tony Mannion, qualified for the FAI Cup final. Shamrock Rovers were the victors in a Dalymount Park on 28th April 1985 as a Noel Larkin scored the only goal in the 57th minute. Shamrock Rovers were also League Champions and this enabled Galway United to qualify for a historic first appearance in Europe, as we represented Ireland in the European Cup Winners Cup. The team distinguished themselves in the National Stadium in Copenhagen, when despite finishing with ten men, held Lyngby to a 1-0 victory. A packed Galway Sportsground on the 2nd October saw the Danes hold on for a 4-2 aggregate victory. Paul Murphy scored Galway United's first goal in European competition in the 50th minute, followed by Denis Bonner in the 82nd minute.
Galway United continued their impressive form in the League and incredibly remained unbeaten until March 1986 – a club Premier Division record of 16 games. At this stage they were leading the table, ahead of the great Shamrock Rovers side of that era who went on to win four league titles in a row. On the 2nd March 1986, the two title contenders went head to head in Terryland in a match which would ultimately decide the title. Three goals in the first 35 minutes handed the game to Rovers, who went on to win the game 3-1 and also won the league. Galway United finished runners up and again qualified for Europe as Ireland's UEFA Cup representatives. Meanwhile, on 15th January 1986, United won their first senior trophy as we beat Dundalk 2-0 in the League Cup final. Denis Bonner (brother of Packie) and Paul McGee (17 times capped for Ireland) scored the goals. Galway United's opponents in the UEFA Cup were Gronigen, who at the time were one of the top sides in the Netherlands. They went on to win 8-2, with the home tie memorable for the fact that it was held in the Gaeltacht area of Carraroe.
Fast forward five years. May 12th 1991 will be a day forever engraved in the hearts of Galway United supporters. United had consolidated their position in the Premier Division under new manager Joey Malone. In the FAI Cup, Cobh Ramblers (3-1), Shelbourne (2-0), Limerick City (2-1) and St James Gate were eliminated as United again reached the final, this time held in Lansdowne Road. Our old rivals, Shamrock Rovers were the opposition and were seeking their 25th victory in the competition. Both sides were deadlocked at 0-0 with five minutes to go on the clock. Then a Rovers kick out found its way to the mercurial Tommy Keane, who whipped in an inch perfect cross from the corner flag. Johnny Glynn tapped the ball into the net, jumped the advertising hoardings and ran to the hundreds of United fans streaming down the terrace. The goal was enough to win Galway United the FAI Cup and also send us back into Europe. The 1991 Galway United FAI Cup Winning Team is pictured above.
United were drawn against Danish side Odense in the European Cup Winners Cup. The first leg was held in the Galway village of Ballinderreen in front of a 6,000 crowd. Odense were much too strong for United, who had lost both Keane and Glynn in the summer, and they went on to win the tie 7-0 on aggregate. The following season proved to be traumatic for the club, as we were relegated to the First Division for the first time in our history. Tony Mannion returned as manager and Galway United returned to the top flight in style, winning the First Division at the first attempt and also winning the First Division shield.
Terryland Park was being redeveloped and the club moved to Crowley Park, the home of local rugby side Galwegians, for one season. The side surpassed all expectations by finishing third in the Premier Division behind Shamrock Rovers and Cork City. Galway United returned to Terryland Park on the 9th October 1994, beating Sligo Rovers. Two weeks later a record Terryland crowd of 7,000 saw United defeat Cork City 2-1, as the floodlit football came to Galway. United remained in the Premier Division until 1996, when we were relegated under new manager Dennis Clarke. The cloud of relegation had a silver lining, however, as United won two trophies – the First Division Shield and also the League Cup, both for the second time. Cork City were beaten 3-1 in the first leg of the League Cup on December 17th 1996, and a Fergal Coleman goal in Turners Cross on New Years Day gave the club a 4-2 aggregate victory.
Dubliner Don O'Riordan was our next manager, and he took Galway United out of the First Division in 1999. His reign in Terryland will be remembered for two great FAI Cup campaigns, which saw the club reach the semi-finals in both 1999 and 2000. Unfortunately, the club lost both games, to Finn Harps and Shelbourne respectively. The 1999 semi-final was the first football match to be televised live from Terryland Park on national TV. The talismanic Tony Mannion returned for his third spell as manager in 2001. After twenty five years of league football and six senior trophies Galway United found themselves in the First Division for the third time at the start of the 2002 – 2003 campaign.
At the start of the 2005 season Stephen Lally took over as club manager, Stephen played for Galway United uninterrupted between 1983 and 1997. In this time, he won an FAI Cup medal, a First Division Championship medal, 2 League Cup medals, 2 Shield medals as well as being on Galway United sides that finished 2nd in the Premier Division (1986) and 3rd in the Premier Division (1994).
Stephen Lally resigned from his position ten games into the 2006 campaign. Tony Cousins was appointed manager of the club on June 14th '06. Galway United finished 3rd in the 2006 league campaign and were invited to take part in the Premier Division of the new eircom League of Ireland for the 2007 season.
In the 2008 campaign Jeff Kenna was appointed manager early into the season and he helped Galway United keep their place in the Premier Division on the final day of the season, Kenna also guided Galway United into the Semi Final of the FAI Cup and League Cup but both games were lost against Derry City. He then took over at St. Patrick's Athletic for the start of the 2009 season. His assistant manager Ian Foster took over the managerial role in 2009. Foster departed for Dundalk after the season ended.
Sean Connor was appointed manager in 2010, swapping positions with Ian Foster at Dundalk. In his first season, he guided the Tribesmen to safety after Galway United defeated Bray Wanderers in a Play-off. The 2011 season was the most difficult in the clubs proud history. Galway United only won one Premier Division game and finished bottom of the league. The clubs perilous financial position meant that it was not granted a licence to compete in the League of Ireland and it would be 2014 before Galway would return to the newly renamed Eamonn Deacy Park.
Representatives from Galway United, Salthill Devon, Mervue United and the Galway FA were brought together as directors of the club. In its first season back in the League of Ireland, the club played under the name Galway FC. Galway joined the First Division and under Tommy Dunne's guidance, the Tribesmen won promotion through the promotion Play-off, defeating Shelbourne and UCD.
Before the start of the 2015 Premier Division season, the Galway United name returned once again after the club purchased the rights to "Galway United Football Club". The Tribesmen finished 10th in the Premier Division whilst also reaching the League Cup final, losing to St Patrick's Athletic on penalties at Eamonn Deacy Park after knocking out double winners Dundalk in the Semi-Final.
The start of the 2017 season saw Galway United becoming a 100% fan owned club. Shane Keegan was appointed manager but his first season at the helm ended in disappointment with the Tribesmen being relegated on the final day of the season. Keegan departed Eamonn Deacy Park midway through the 2018 First Division campaign with United out of play-off contention. Alan Murphy, who showed his managerial promise with United's under-17 team, took charge as manager until the end of the season.


Why Not Go to the Bahamas? | Caribya!
Why Not Go to the Bahamas?
The Bahamas is the most popular vacation destination in the Caribbean – though ironically, it is not located in the Caribbean at all. Despite its location outside of the Caribbean Sea, the Bahamas offer the quintessential island experience: sprawling resort hotels, gorgeous beaches, and endless tours and activities. The Bahamas is at once trendy and tropical. If this sounds like your scene, a vacation in the Bahamas just might be right for you.
Located approximately 100 miles east of the Florida coast, entirely in the Atlantic Ocean, theT Bahamas is comprised of over 700 coral-based islands. Despite the abundance of separate land masses incorporated into this island nation, only five percent of the total area is above water. This allows for just 30 of the 700 islands to be occupied by humans. The islands are comprised of coral reefs that dried into inhabitable land when the sea level dropped hundreds of thousands of years ago, leaving mostly level land and sandy beaches. The clearest waters in the world, with visibility of over 200 feet down, surround the Bahamas due to the calcium carbonate created by the coral, and the world's third largest barrier reef protects the archipelago.
Weather in the Bahamas is a welcome surprise for vacationers who arrive expecting the unrelenting heat associated with most of the Caribbean islands. Because the Bahamas are so close to the United States, continental weather patterns affect the islands, making way for cold air systems that take the edge off as the sun beats down on the beaches each day. Temperatures remain fairly similar throughout the year, with the average low stabilizing around 64 degrees Fahrenheit, and the average high reaching 89 degrees Fahrenheit. Click here for information about rainfall in the Bahamas.
The breathtaking scenery and pleasant weather are not the only reasons to plan a vacation to the Bahamas. There are numerous activities and attractions available no matter what your interests. Government buildings, land marks, and museums in Nassau attract lovers of politics and history; national parks, trails, nature centers and botanical gardens in Nassau and on Grand Bahama are for the outdoorsy-type; and hotel casinos and night clubs in the larger cities are there for night owls. The beaches, of course, are not to be missed, and activities such as golf, tennis, water sports, and shopping are available year round. It is for these reasons and many more that the Bahamas was ranked as one of the top Spring Break destinations of 2014.
One of the perks of a trip to the Bahamas is the ability to interact with marine life at several locations. Aside from snorkeling and scuba diving, visitors can also check out Blue Lagoon Dolphin Encounter and Sting Ray City Bahamas. At Dolphin Encounter, guest may meet with dolphins from a distance, as they stand on a platform and allow the dolphins to approach them for petting, feeding, and play. They also have the option to swim with the dolphins for up to 30 minutes. Visiting Dolphin Encounter will require a full day trip to Blue Lagoon Island, which can be accessed from Nassau and Paradise Island. Sting Ray City Bahamas is also located in Blue Lagoon Island, and allows guests to swim with various tropical fish, including sting rays and grouper. Snorkeling equipment is also available.
The Bahamas seem to have something for every type of traveler, a claim that not every vacation spot can make. Families can spend time together exploring the island; those who want to get away from it all are easily swept away by the relaxed pace of life; honeymooners can find romance in luxury resorts. Even those who are looking for a unique vacation can get off the beaten path and spend time on the Out Islands. Harbour Island, one of the Out Islands in the Eleuthera District, was named as one of the "World's Best Islands" by Travel + Leisure in 2013, citing the pink sand beaches and pastel-hued buildings as top attractions.
For many travelers, the opportunity to experience local cuisine entices them more than anything else. Menus in the Bahamas are laden with seafood such as lobster, grouper, and red snapper. Conch is an island favorite, served in the form of fritters, stew, chowder, and salad. Pigeon peas and rice and johnny cakes are popular sides, and featured desserts are guava duff and bread pudding. Those who prefer to stick to what they know come meal time will find that there are plenty of restaurants serving international cuisine that they feel more comfortable with.
With its tranquil blue waters, endless beauty, and activities for all, it's no wonder the Bahamas are such a popular vacation destination. Why not go to the Bahamas? The real question is why you've waited this long to consider it.
This informative article can help visitors become familiar with some of the most important aspects of culture in The Bahamas.


We will learn how to calculate discount and discount percent on marked price.
Suppose, while purchasing different articles from the market, we must have seen that most of the articles have their prices printed on them or their prices are written on the labels attached to them. This price, printed on an article or written on the label attached to it, is called its marked price (M.P.) or list price or advertised price.
Now in order to clear surplus stock or to increase the sales of different articles, the shopkeepers at different occasions announce some discount sale, i.e., they reduce the price of their articles by certain rate percent.
This discount or rebate means a reduction in the price which is always calculated on the marked price of the article.
1. An article is marked at $6000 and is available at a discount of 12%. Find the sale-price of the article.
2. A dealer marks a car for $9000 but agrees to give a discount of 20%. Find the selling price of the car.
Discount% = Discount/Marked Price × 100%.
3. Exercise equipments marked at $8000 is sold for $7200. Find the discount and discount as percentage.
4. Goods marked at $155, is sold for $124. Find the discount and discount percent.
Discount i.e., reduction in price is always calculated on marked price.

Are Scott Disick & Sofia Richie Getting Engaged? This Reported Update Is Super Exciting
06/05/2019 Comments Off on Are Scott Disick & Sofia Richie Getting Engaged? This Reported Update Is Super Exciting
It never happened for him and Kourtney Kardashian, but are Scott Disick and Sofia Richie getting engaged? They just might be. A source told Us Weekly on June 5 that Disick and Richie "have talked seriously about getting engaged." And, even though they're not currently engaged, another source chimed in to say that "As it is now, Sofia and Scott look at each other as life partners."
The second source also noted that the couple, who've been together for two years, "are in a great place and stronger than ever."
Oh, and if you're wondering how Kardashian would feel about her ex moving on with matrimony, she's totally cool with it. The first source told Us Weekly that Kardashian is "not only unbothered by the idea of them getting engaged," but "they'd [even] have her full support." One of the main reasons behind Kardashian reportedly offering her support is that Richie is great with the children she shares with Disick, Mason, 9, Penelope, 6, and Reign, 4. "Sofia is really so good with his kids and she has a good friendship and relationship with Kourtney," the source added.
Kardashian opened up about her relationship with Richie and Disick in an interview with Paper published on May 23. In the interview, she referred to her relationship with her ex and his new girlfriend "probably the thing I'm most proud of." When asked if she'd be taking any more trips with the couple like the one she took with them to Cabo in December 2018, she responded by saying, "I don't think we'll go on every trip together, but I love that I'm invited."
Disick opened up about how understanding Richie is of his complicated family situation during an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians in April.
"Sofia knew going into this that I was extremely close with Kourtney," he explained. "She was like, 'Listen, I will never get between you and your family and your children. Just speak to me and make me comfortable.'"
"She's a better person than I am," he continued. "I thought for a very long time that I was going to live a very miserable life. I didn't think that I was going to have happiness again. My biggest thing to Kourtney was no matter who we're with, even though our children might not see everything, they do feel it and they can hear it and everyone needs to be OK with each other."
He also made it clear that, while he obviously loves Richie, Kardashian and their children will always be his first priority. "Sofia knows that we're raising three kids together and until our kids are 100, I'll still be making sure that Kourtney and my kids are a priority in my life," he said.
While it looks like Kardashian and Disick have the co-parenting thing down now, it wasn't always this easy for them. In a video filmed for Poosh, Kardashian and Disick discussed coparenting and admitted that new partners were a bit of a challenge in the beginning.
"I think the hardest part was when we both started new relationships… because that caused fights between you and I about introducing the kids," she told Disick. "I think that caused the most challenges."
"It's one of those things you don't think is ever gonna happen, but, like everything in the world, things move," Disick responded.
"I think that was the time where I felt like… we literally had to go to therapy to talk to even be able to communicate together," she continued.
Luckily, it seems like they've gotten to a much better place since then. So much so that Disick reportedly feels comfortable discussing wedding plans with his new partner.
