A Brief Tour Through the History of West Belfast

"You mean I am actually supposed to walk in a war zone?" Well, yes, of sorts - but times are a-changing.
When I first walked the streets of West Belfast in the very early 1980s I would not have recommended the experience for the faint-hearted. Some kids took time out from talking to me to throw a few handy bricks at a passing police car. After getting a snack in a shop under the serene glance of Queen Elizabeth II a few concerned citizens asked me about my business in their neighbourhood with a bit more than a hint of madness in their eyes. And then there was the moment when I fumbled with my camera when an armored car passed by, earning me the undivided attention of some British soldiers - one of which was pointing a deadly weapon at my head.
Retracing my steps more recently I realized just how much things had changed as West Belfast's history has evolved. The city scenery now free of barricades, barbed wire and burnt-out cars in front of sub-standard housing. People, too, have changed and a stranger with a camera no longer attracts much attention. So let's go for a walk in West Belfast ...
City Hall - Stepping Out
© 2008 Bernd Biege licensed to About.com, Inc.
One thing that is amazing is how close the two of the main hotbeds of sectarian violence actually were to the city center. If not a stone's throw away, a sniper's bullet would make the distance. So we start our walk at Belfast's splendid City Hall in Donegall Square.
The City Hall's front lawn borders on Donegall Square North and Donegall Place, one of the city center's shopping streets, leads northwards. Years ago there were checkpoints and searches when you wanted to go this way. This became necessary after an IRA car bomb exploded here in 1972 (killing seven and injuring 150).
Follow Donegall Place until Castle Street branches off to the left. In Castle Street you will maybe notice subtle signs that you are entering a nationalist area - like a takeaway seemingly catering for Celtic Glasgow fans.
Soon you will reach a large intersection which will take you over the Westlink towards Divis Street.
Crossing the Westlink Motorway Towards Divis Street
The landmark Divis Tower is on your left as you cross the intersection - dwarfing everything in sight. The Tower and the once nearby Divis Flats were designed to provide low-cost housing for families. While the housing was low-cost, it also was of low quality and in effect, a modern Catholic ghetto was created. This became a cauldron of unrest during the most troubled part of West Belfast's history. Now only the Divis Tower remains while more sensible housing has been erected in the vicinity.
The seventh victim of the "Troubles" was killed in the Divis Tower - lying in his bed, Patrick Rooney was instantly killed when hit by heavy machine-gun fire from a police armored car. He was nine years old when he died on August 14th, 1969.
Follow Divis Street and the "Garden of Remembrance" is soon on your left. This is a Republican monument to those who died during the "Troubles" - members of the IRA in active service, former members, Sinn Fein members and civilians from the Falls area. A memorial to and for a close-knit community.
From here we soon turn left, for a detour to take in Saint Peter's Cathedral.
Saint Peter's Cathedral
"The Cathedral Church of Saint Peter" serves the dioceses of Down and Connor, which intersect in Belfast. Built between 1860 and 1866, its twin spires were not finished until 1885. The spires have made this a hard-to-miss landmark when approaching Belfast from the Southwest.
When driving by, the cathedral seems almost imposing but it loses some of its splendor upon closer examination. The main church is situated in the middle of a housing district which takes away from the view. And while its exterior has been called "not especially remarkable", its interior has never really been rated strikingly beautiful either.
This landmark building of West Belfast may be best described as a working-class cathedral in a working-class area, a "citadel of prayer and faith in an otherwise depressing neighbourhood" (all quotes from Peter Galloway's "The Cathedrals of Ireland").
Pay a visit St. Peter's while exploring West Belfast ... then continue towards Dunville Park.
Towards Dunville Park and Back
On leaving Saint Peter's, turn right and then left again on the main road, heading towards the Royal Hospitals and Dunville Park. This is where you will begin to see many street art murals - depicting everything from fairytale creatures to assorted struggles of the oppressed.
The graffiti art is an inconsistent mix at the best of times, showing Palestinian youths joining forces with Basque separatists and Fidel Castro. It is a very simplistic view of the world as black and white and very literal.
Once you have reached Dunville Park you can think about turning back. At the crossing next to the Royal Hospitals look westwards first, across Dunville Park - you will see the massive cranes "Samson" and "Goliath" of Harland & Wulff dominating the skyline. Within sight of the Catholic community, big ships like the "Titanic" were built, bringing pride and wealth to Belfast. Or, at least to parts of Belfast ... it was an unwritten policy that Catholics could not be hired in the shipyards.
On this sobering thought let us begin backtracking down Falls Road. On the left side of the road, you'll notice the Sinn Fein political offices with the massive mural of Bobby Sands.
The old Carnegie Library nearby is one of the few remarkable old buildings in this area.
And if you look into the streets branching off to the leftAvenue you will realize that many were designed as through roads but are now dead ends. This is "the divide" which you are about to cross.
Townsend Street - Crossing the Divide
After you pass the Divis Tower, you will see a small business park on the left and Townsend Street, running parallel to the Westlink. Turn left here and follow the road through the massive steel barrier that is usually open these days.
The first building on your left is a Presbyterian church. This is where you can pass from a Catholic to a Protestant area in a second. There is, of course, a stout wall (dubbed somehow optimistically a "peace line") to interrupt contact in times of need.
The not-very enchanting view across some wasteland further on will bring you face to face with a massive mural honoring B Company, the outfit that brought us the appropriately nicknamed Johnny "Mad Dog" Adair. The Ulster loyalist fled Northern Ireland when his own community threatened to relieve him of command by terminating him with extreme prejudice.
It was nearby that in 1969 (Protestant) Police Constable Victor Arbuckle became the first RUC officer to be killed in the "Troubles" - shot dead by members of the Loyalist and Protestant Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF).
Further evidence of this madness awaits you in the Unionist heartland off Shankill Road.
The Shankill Area - Unionist Heartland
Cross the road near the Gospel Hall and follow Shankill Parade. At the end of this short road you will have a stunning view of an unremarkable green bordered by some remarkable murals.
I mean remarkable in many ways: here you will witness the mural honoring Oliver Cromwell, who made ethnic cleansing a brief and brutal fashion in Ireland. The quote attributed to him on the mural states that there would be no peace in Ireland until Catholicism Avenue.
Other murals honor the Loyalist dead, largely paramilitaries who did not pass away peacefully in their sleep. Sometimes the cause of death is given in a blunt manner, like "Murdered by the UVF" - another example of Loyalist feuds.
Just a few years ago, lingering here as a stranger, let alone taking photos, would have earned you the brief but close acquaintance with an ad-hoc vigilante committee. But now West Belfast has changed and these days people are more likely to point out the shortest way to their favorite mural to you.
It is, however, still advisable to ask permission if you want to photograph anything but the murals and the area in general - close-ups of people or private homes are often frowned upon.
After you have taken your pictures, it is time to return to the "neutral" city center.
Into the City Center
Once you have rejoined the main road near the KFC, follow Peter's Hill across the Westlink and back towards the city center. Soon you will reach Royal Avenue (on your right), which is part of Belfast's shopping district.
Follow the Royal Avenue and you'll notice the entrance to the Castle Court shopping center on your right - in which a large food court offers some refreshments after your walk through West Belfast's history.

Top 10: Ways To Grab A Woman's Attention
5. Smooth out awkward silences
iStockphoto.com
Most guys get uncomfortable at some point during a date, and they begin to let their emotions and insecurities get the best of them. They start to think, "Uh-oh. I need to do something to impress her, or say something to make her laugh or she won't like me." If you begin to feel this kind of thing happening, it's probably time to do something. Get up, go for a walk and move around. Tell a funny story about something that happened to you when you were a kid. Go to the store and look at magazines and make fun of famous people. Just do something! The thing that determines whether a silence was "uncomfortable" or not is what you do after the silence is over. If you act cool and casual, then it won't be a big deal.

Q: Select polygons that are within other polygons and have a certain area in PostGIS I'm using PostgreSQL 14.1 with PostGIS 3.1 and I've got two tables malla_p and pen_bal. I want to select those polygons of table malla_p smaller than 10,000 ha that are within the polygons of table pen_bal. I've built the following query:
select
    m.utmcode , cast(st_area(m.geom)/10000 as integer) ha
    from malla_p m join pen_bal c
    on st_within(m.geom, c.geom)
    group by m.utmcode
    having ha < 10000
    order by ha desc
;

but it returns an error saying that column "ha" doesn´t exist. What's wrong?

A: The issue is that you're referencing a field that you just created and named. You'll need to use a CTE or subquery to use the ha field in your query:
with cte as (select
    m.utmcode , cast(st_area(m.geom)/10000 as integer) ha
    from malla_p m join pen_bal c
    on st_within(m.geom, c.geom)
    group by m.utmcode, m.geom)

select * from cte where ha < 10000
order by ha desc

Well, I watched it again. No real need to write this up.
Before all of you get excited, I did not watch the Patrick Swayze movie of the same name. So settle the hell down.
Instead, I spent part of my Saturday watching the Ida Lupino starring noir, Road House (1948). And, coincidentally, I finished the movie, looked at facebook and the Film Noir Foundation informed me that it was Lupino's birthday. So, happy birthday, Ida.
I'd heard some good things about Road House, and I'm becoming a bit of a fan of Lupino. Add in that the cast included Richard Widmark in crazy-villain mode, and it was one of my two rentals from Vulcan Video on Friday night.
If you've seen the trailer for this movie, and you think that maybe you have a rough idea of what this movie will be like - bingo. You are correct.
Hell or High Water (2016) is currently nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, which is maybe the surest sign that the Academy is comprised of white people over the age of 65. A post No Country for Old Men meditation on justice in the sun-baked desert plains of West Texas, it's an enjoyable enough way to spend the run-time of a movie. But with no non-standard plot turns or character moments, a movie where the sub-text of the film is text, it's the sort of thing that's been done better elsewhere (see the movie named at the beginning of this sentence) and has characters walking a path of moral uncertainty enough that you can say it has some edge to it.
That said, I didn't actually dislike Hell or High Water. It's a fine movie with characters you'll enjoy (I've seen these same characters done a few dozen times, and if you're going to do those characters, this is pretty good), a decent plot, and if you like Chris Pine (I do!) and Jeff Bridges (what sort of psychopath doesn't like Jeff Bridges?), I've got a movie I'd say you can watch comfortably with your dad. Or, better yet, your sibling.

Since Womad I have met my three supervisors where it was decided that I will undertake at Systematic Literature Review, so, the past month I have been mainly working on developing the methodology for it. On Monday I will meet with all three supervisors to discuss the progress.
I also lost an academic assistant due to disagreement over availability. Things keeps rolling along but slower, due to my slow typing speed, than I would like. I have found two more academic assistants who will hopefully start very soon. One of them have worked with before, therefore, we should be able to get up to speed quickly.
For this semester, I have been auditing the Augmentative and Alternative Communication course at Flinders. This has helped broaden my knowledge of AAC, as well as, given the students a chance to interact with someone who uses an AAC device and to hear things from a different perspective. Yesterday, I gave a fifteen minutes presentation at the beginning of the lecture on my PhD. I think it went well and hopeful it broaden their views on what AAC is and how important it is.
By the way as I was finishing this post one of my new academic assistants walked in the door, ready to work and I was correct in that he was able to get up to speed, apart from his crapy tieping.


This statistic describes the share of respondents who stated good prices were the reason they shopped at their favorite retailer in the Middle East and North Africa in 2017, by country. In 2017, the share of respondents from the United Arab Emirates who stated good prices as a reason to shop at their favorite retailer was 50 percent.
Survey methodology can be found on page 4 and 19 of the report.
In the report, the original question was phrased as follows: "Why do you shop at your favourite retailer? good prices"

Health officials link Calif. apple packer to listeria deaths
Strains of listeria found inside a California apple packing facility match listeria bacteria that have sickened 32 people across the country, including at least three deaths, the Food and Drug Administration said.
The illnesses and deaths have been linked to consumption of caramel apples. Health officials warned consumers in December to avoid all prepackaged caramel apples after the deaths and illnesses in 11 states were reported.
Earlier this week, California-based Bidart Bros. recalled all shipments of Granny Smith and Gala apples that came from its Shafter, California, packing facility in 2014. The company said the last apples shipped from there on Dec. 2.
The FDA and the California Department of Public Health inspected the facility after learning the company had supplied apples to manufacturers of caramel apple brands that made people sick. The agencies found listeria on surfaces in the plant that were likely to come into contact with apples, and on Saturday the FDA confirmed that the DNA patterns of the listeria in the plant and the listeria that made people sick matched.
The agencies also found the same strains of listeria in whole apples Bidart Bros. shipped to other companies along the distribution chain.
The company's president, Leonard Bidart, said in a release that the news is "devastating" to the Bidart family.
"As a family-owned grower operating in California since the 1930s, we place safety at the forefront of everything we do," he said. "Our hearts go out to all who have been impacted by the apple-related listeriosis outbreak."
He said the company is "cooperating completely" with the investigation.
The FDA said some of the apples recalled by Bidart Bros. may be sold under the brand names "Big B" and "Granny's Best," though they could also be sold under other brand names or with no brand at all.
Most of the illnesses appear to be linked to eating caramel apples -- the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that 25 of those sickened reported eating commercially produced, prepackaged caramel apples before getting sick. Still, the FDA warned that consumers who have recently bought Granny Smith or Gala apples should ask retailers if they were supplied by Bidart Bros.
Several caramel apple brands have also issued recalls, including Happy Apple, Kroger, California Snack Foods and Merb's Candies. Caramel apples are most popular around Halloween, and the outbreak started just before then, in mid-October. But the commercially produced variety can have a shelf life of a month or more, and some may still be on store or home shelves.
The illnesses and deaths were reported in Arizona, California, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin.
It is unclear how many deaths are directly linked to the outbreak. Seven people who contracted the strains of listeria died, the CDC said in an update posted Saturday. The agency said that listeria is known to have contributed to at least three of the deaths.
Listeria is a foodborne illness that is especially dangerous to pregnant women, newborn babies, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. It rarely causes serious illness in healthy people and can be treated with antibiotics. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, nausea and diarrhea.

Is It Dangerous to Eat Too Many Cherries?

Cherries are a healthy choice of fruit as long as you don't have a sensitivity or allergy to them.

For such a little fruit, cherries are packed full of antioxidants and other key nutrients.
There is so much good to this tiny, pitted fruit. Cherries boast vitamins B, C and K as well as potassium, manganese, magnesium, copper and iron, according to the USDA. They're low in calories, high in fiber, and they may even help you get a better night's sleep.
Even so, this doesn't mean you should be eating cherries by the barrel.
Is Eating Too Many Cherries Bad for You?
While some people may find they're able to eat a whole bushel of cherries in a single sitting, it's always possible to have too much of a good thing.
The good news: Unless you have an allergy or a sensitive stomach, it's unlikely that overeating cherries will cause serious health concerns.
Eating too many cherries at once could potentially lead to uncomfortable gastrointestinal issues, like gas, cramping and abdominal bloating — these are all possible symptoms of eating too much fruit. So, yes, cherries can cause diarrhea if you eat too many.
Fruits — especially cherries —are rich sources of dietary fiber, which comes from the cell walls of plant foods. Your body can't digest dietary fiber, so it moves through the digestive system mainly intact.
The fiber in fruit is generally considered beneficial for your health: It can, for example, improve bowel function and lower cholesterol levels, per the Mayo Clinic.
For some people, however, eating too much fiber at once can increase gas production, which can lead to stomach pain, per the Mayo Clinic.
Choose Organic Cherries if You Can
It's possible that eating too many cherries that are not organic might put you at risk for exposure to toxins in pesticides, which can result in nausea, along with other symptoms, per the University of Missouri.
According to an Environmental Working Group's (EWG) analysis of data from the Department of Agriculture in 2019, over 225 different pesticides were found on various fruits. After washing, 90 percent of cherries tested were found to contain two or more pesticides.
Cherries are number seven on the EWG's 2021 Dirty Dozen list, an annual document that lists the foods contaminated with more pesticides than other crops. While there are polarizing debates about whether it's necessary to buy all organic produce, the EWG recommends buying foods on its Dirty Dozen list organic to reduce your risk for pesticide exposure.
Are You Allergic to Cherries?
If you experience symptoms of nausea, vomiting, cramping or diarrhea after eating cherries, you may have an intolerance to them. If your symptoms are more severe, you might have a food allergy.
An allergy to food is an abnormal response to a particular protein in food triggered by your body's immune system. It is possible to be allergic to cherries, especially if you are allergic to birch pollen, per the Mayo Clinic.
Symptoms of a food allergy usually develop within a few minutes to two hours after eating the fruit and may include:
Tingling or itching in the mouth
Skin rashes such as hives or eczema
Swelling of the lips, face, tongue and throat
Wheezing, difficulty breathing and nasal congestion
Abdominal cramps, vomiting, diarrhea and nausea
In rare situations, an allergy to cherries might trigger a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening condition.
The 12 Best Natural Remedies for an Upset Stomach
The Nutritional Profile of Cherries
Cherries contain virtually no fat or cholesterol. Here's a breakdown of the nutrition in 1 cup of cherries (about 22 cherries):
24.7 g carbohydrates
19.7 g sugar
3.2 g fiber
1.6 g protein
Cherries are also rich in vitamin C: A 1-cup serving has 10.8 milligrams or 12 percent of your Daily Value (DV).
About 91 percent of the total calories in cherries come from healthy carbohydrates, which your body uses for energy. These carbs are needed to fuel many metabolic and physical processes, including your brain, heart and nervous system.
Carbohydrates are the most important source of energy for your body, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. When you eat carbs, your body turns them into glucose, which is then stored and used for energy powering organs, cells and body tissues.
The Health Benefits of Cherries
We've discussed the good (and potentially bad) fiber-rich cherries can have on your GI health. But the little fruit contains health benefits that go beyond the gut.
1. Cherries May Help Relieve Gout Pain
Cherries contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which may be helpful in treating pain associated with gout, an arthritic condition.
Cherry juice may help reduce levels of serum uric acid in the body — and the buildup of this acid leads to gout. An April 2011 study in Natural Sciences found that 100 percent tart cherry juice significantly reduced the level of serum uric acid levels in participants who drank 8 ounces of the juice every day for four weeks.
Similarly, a December 2012 study in Arthritis & Rheumatology looked at more than 600 people with gout, supporting earlier findings that eating at least 10 cherries daily reduced the risk of gout attacks by 25 percent.
The researchers in this study credit anthocyanins, a flavanol in cherries (and other fruits) that give the fruit its vivid color, as what helps reduce the potential for gout attacks. While more research is needed to understand the relationship between anthocyanins and gout, anthocyanins have been found to have anti-inflammatory effects, according to September 2015 research in Advances in Nutrition and an August 2017 review in Food and Nutrition Research.
2. Cherries May Improve Your Digestion
A 1-cup serving of sweet cherries offers 3.2 grams, or 12 percent DV, of daily fiber. Fiber is a front-runner for keeping your digestive system running smoothly and has also been found to aid in weight loss.
Fiber passes through your body relatively intact, absorbing water and adding bulk to help digested food move through your intestines. By increasing the size of your stool and softening it, fiber helps to relieve constipation, irritable bowel syndrome and other gastrointestinal disorders, per the Mayo Clinic.
3. Cherries May Help You Sleep
Choosing cherries for your late-night snack could mean the difference between a restless night and sweet dreams.
Cherries contain melatonin, a substance that helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle, according to a small December 2012 study in the European Journal of Nutrition.
Research also suggests that cherries may help you sleep for longer. In a study of adults with insomnia, those who drank 1 cup of tart cherry juice before bed increased their sleep time by 84 minutes, per a small March 2018 pilot study in the American Journal of Therapeutics.
It's important to note that these studies focused on concentrates of the fruit, so more research is needed to understand whether eating fresh cherries could have similar effects.

FRESH KILL
FRESH KILL (director/writer: Joseph Merhi; cinematographer: Richard Pepin; editor: Richard Pepin; music: John Gonzalez; cast: Pamela Dixon (Lisa), Jody Jaress (Jane), Flint Keller (Allen Chester), Patricia Parks (Leona Alexander), Robert Dzar (Manny), Del Zamora (Bruno), Ron Preston (Carter), Dave Schroder (Mel), Steve Welles (Mike); Runtime: 86; MPAA Rating: NR; producers: Joseph Merhi/Richard Pepin; City Lights; 1988)
"A senseless violent offbeat crime drama."
A senseless violent offbeat crime drama by writer/director Joseph Merhi("Game of Life"/"Oranges"/"Last Man Standing"). It's a terrible movie with poor production values (like the sound was almost inaudible), but that's not to say it isn't entertaining for those (not me) who have the stomach for its raunchiness.
The likable aspiring actor Allen Chester (Flint Krller) moves from his hometown of Chicago to Hollywood to pursue his acting dream. He works during the day as a butcher in a meat market. The screwy Carter (Ron Preston) is a co-worker, who gets his jollies by spitting into the customer's meat purchases. While working at night on the meat deliveries, Allen is approached by a frightened blonde named Leona Alexander (Patricia Parks). She asks for his help, as she's trying to escape from her former boyfriend, a powerful crime boss named Manny (Robert Dzar), and is being followed by his goons. Allen inadvertently kills one of Manny's goons by plunging a butcher's knife in him and Leona knocks the other one off with a meat cleaver, and they go on the run together. They find shelter in Leona's pipe-smoking mother's house (like who would think of looking for them there!). We learn that Manny is pissed because he believes Leona has stolen two million dollars worth of his money and cocaine. Later Allen gets used to living in the crime-ridden streets of LA, and envisions himself playing a gangster. When Allen learns Manny's henchmen executed his parents in their Chicago home, he seeks revenge. Allen talks Carter into joining his gang to raid Manny's headquarters, while Leona recruits Mike (Steve Welles), her weirdo helicopter pilot, film buff and philosophical scam artist friend.The shoot-out at the climax, at Manny's digs, deliciously ends with unexpected results. But it seems a long time in coming, as the slight story has stretches where it becomes tiresome and seems to drag on forever.This rarely seen revenge filmcan be recommended for its gleeful presentation of colorful characters and its over-the-top violence. But be warned, it's not a film suited for all tastes.Though the film gave me a few laughs, that was not enough to like it.

Caravans, Kids and Coastal Paths
With Britain being a relatively small country, having one of the world's longest footpaths may seem like a playground boast. However, National Trails, Wales Coast Path and The Scottish Coastal Way are planning to link a multitude of footpaths that follow our jagged coastline, and if the proposed 2020 deadline is adhered to, we could have almost 2,800 miles of coastal paths to enjoy.
Even though the dots are yet to be joined, there's mile after mile of coastal route waiting to be explored right now, so fish out those dusty walking boots and head for the coast.
We're frequent visitors to Devon & Cornwall which has route after route on offer thanks to the South West Coast Path, and with a helpful website, dipping into a route or two when time allows is as simple as selecting a start and finish point before clicking submit.
Travelling back to the beginning of a lengthy route can involve a bus or taxi but, as I prefer to spend travel costs on a drink or bite to eat, we tend to use a pub or cafe as a mid-point marker before doubling back the way we came.
As a parent, bribery is an incredibly useful tool and the promise of an ice-cream is normally enough to tip the balance in favour of fresh air and exercise.
There's plenty to see on coastal paths - like the tin min chimneys that appear along the Cornish coast
'Collecting' trails is incredibly popular and we've bumped into numerous people on campsites who travel the coastline, adding each section of trail to their already impressive tally. It's easy to see why as there's no better feeling than really earning that pie and a pint.
Some of our best walks have been out of season. The paths are quieter, as are the sites, and the coastline changes its character to match the time of year. I'm not suggesting you keep the Coastguard on standby by tiptoeing along a windswept path, but chosen wisely with a degree of common sense, the off-season vista can be incredibly rewarding,
Although the coastal paths are geared towards walking, we've found cycle routes that run close to the coast paths and occasionally share the path for a distance, but navigation needs to be double-checked to avoid cycling on a designated footpath. The Sustrans website - www.sustrans.org.uk - offers cycling routes inland as well as close to the coast and should we fancy a spot of cycling instead of walking, finding a route is relatively painless. What's more, it's free! If you're in Wales, the Wales Coast Path website has a great cycling section.
Poppy and Charlie on the beach
I'll leave the final words to Poppy & Charlie:
One of our favourite coastal routes is the one near St Agnes Beacon Caravan & Motorhome Club site. Turn left out of the site, walk along the road and look for the tin mine chimney that towers above the sea. After looking at the disused chimney and buildings, we picked up the path and walked to the Chapel Porth Café where we had a Hedgehog Ice Cream after lunch in the caravan. Mum liked it especially as this location was used to film certain scenes in Poldark.

Routes in Scotland can be found by visiting snh.gov.uk and typing 'Great Trails' in the search bar.

Café? Pub Lunch? Type 'Nearby Pub' or 'Nearby Café' into Google Maps which will serve as a great carrot-on-a-stick. The map will also show the location in relation to the path.

How to connect with your audience on climate change (and everything else)
TAGS: Manufacturer and Brand
These are the crucial components of an effective message, as told by the director of the Center for Climate Change Communications at George Mason University.
Lara Dickinson | Sep 29, 2017
This year's Natural Products Expo East 2017 had a new—and vital—session on how to change behavior through effective communications. For the first time, New Hope Network brought together 70-plus key bloggers, writers and other influencers in the natural products industry for a daylong Influencer Summit. Seven Climate Collaborative companies, including Annie's, INFRA, Organic Valley and REBBL (and a few of us from the Climate Collaborative), were lucky enough to listen in and take notes on how the right message can enhance our impact in a big way.
Ed Maibach, professor and director of the Center for Climate Change Communications at George Mason University, provided the keynote, and was joined throughout the day by other luminaries in health and sustainability, including Climate Collaborative's cofounder Nancy Hirshberg, who introduced Maibach, as well as Kate Geagan, Ashley Koff, Robyn O'Brien and others. We were especially lucky to be part of the day, because Maibach's expertise has helped shape the way the Climate Collaborative defines our own communications at every level.
Maibach's keynote had some powerful takeaways for anyone trying to change behavior among their consumers and stakeholders, which he distilled down to a few key concepts:
To spread an idea, make it simple, fun and memorable.
To change behavior, make it easy and popular
For the communications that encourage this behavior, use "simple, clear messages, repeated often, by a variety of trusted voices."
He also shared something that we all know but that is especially hard to put into practice unless you really work hard at crafting your big idea: "The more we say, the less we are heard." The "less is more" approach certainly helps to ensure we can implement the next practice or repetition: "People need to hear it a lot to get it ingrained in our neural pathways."
Where have we seen these rules in practice? Maibach provided a few examples most of us are familiar with: Mothers Against Drunk Driving's "Friends don't let friends drive drunk," AND, closer to home for our industry, Michael Pollan's "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
These messages have inspired behavior change because of their simplicity and the trusted voices reinforcing them. Maibach also shared an ineffective messaging example to drive the next two guidelines home: "If you see something, say something."
This statement is missing specificity and emotion—two hugely important pieces in reaching your audience. Positive emotions—and messages that have a novel and surprising nature—tend to reach a wider audience and be shared more by readers.
How does this all translate to crafting messages on climate change that really hit home with the audience? Well, Maibach has done some of this work for us and shared a set of simple, powerful arguments to drive behavior change on climate:
Climate change is real (simple idea)
It's us (actionable when we have tools to use)
Experts agree (trusted voices)
It's bad (moral emotion)
There's hope (arousing emotion)
We each have our own message to share. And if others share it again, it is probably a good message. While we haven't figured it all out when it comes to climate communications, we are a few steps closer as communications experts, influencers, brands and our industry come together to tackle this and other big issues together.
Lara Dickinson is executive director of OSC2, which in partnership with Sustainable Fair Trade Association has developed the Climate Collaborative, an action plan for the natural products industry to help reverse climate change.

Mark Dampier: Lyon's patient strategy is a roaring success
Saturday 24 July 2010 00:00
The late Lord Weinstock, the revered chief executive of GEC, became disillusioned with City wealth managers. Many seemed to lose him more money than they made, and he was anxious not to turn his huge fortune into a small one. So he turned to Sebastian Lyon, a manager of the GEC Pension fund at the time, to establish a family office to look after his interests. It was named "Troy" after a successful racehorse he owned, and over the years it has evolved into an accomplished fund management business.
Lord Weinstock's objective was to protect wealth just as much as grow it, a familiar sentiment I'm sure for many people who have worked hard for many years to save a pot of money. Whilst the stock market offers the potential to grow wealth in the long term, volatility is a constant problem, amply demonstrated by the two occasions in the last 10 years where major markets have lost around 50 per cent of their value. If you lose 50 per cent of your capital you need a return of 100 per cent to get back to where you started. So the key aim of Troy, and of the Troy Trojan Fund, is to limit the erosion of capital as far as possible in order that excessive risks don't have to be taken to try and restore it.
With this philosophy in mind, Sebastian Lyon is not averse to using cash in the fund in an active manner, and at times it has made up 40 to 50 per cent of the portfolio. This is not a fund run with a trading mentality, though. Far from it. Many stock holdings have been present for years. However, he won't add to such positions if he feels they are expensive. Instead, he prefers to sit in cash and patiently wait for valuations to come to him.
Although the fund's focus is on preserving capital, do not confuse this strategy with that of "absolute return" funds, which take short positions to reduce market exposure. Instead, Mr Lyon uses asset allocation to protect against market falls, constructing his portfolio from defensive companies, bonds and gold (through both equities and ETFs) as well as cash.
Since 2005 he has been cautious towards world stock markets generally, feeling the best value lies in large UK and US stocks. These he believes will protect the investor best from the threats of deflation and inflation – both of which I happen to think we will encounter over the next few years. In this unpredictable environment, controlling capital expenditure is important and Sebastian Lyon prefers companies like Tesco who can quickly adapt their pricing because their stock has rapid turnover. He also favours firms with strong balance sheets, pointing out that the real investment horror stories tend to come from highly indebted companies. He therefore avoids banks and other highly leveraged businesses, as well as firms that aren't strong enough to expand without raising money externally.
Typically for the fund the present positioning is diverse. Half is invested in equities, split roughly equally between the UK and overseas firms. Some 32 per cent is in index-linked UK and US government bonds and the remainder is in cash and gold. This mix of assets should appeal to many investors looking to preserve and grow their wealth over the long term. The fund could be particularly useful for those with large pension pots who wish to maintain stock-market exposure but in a risk-controlled way and without excessive volatility.
To date, the record of the fund has been excellent. The main danger I foresee is that it is likely to underperform in a strong bull market and look rather pedestrian against more aggressive funds in the sector and elsewhere. However, if you are a long-term investor seeking to steadily appreciate your capital, this shouldn't matter. Furthermore, the philosophy of the fund, and of Mr Lyon, should protect you against the worst of any market falls.

Q: Why is imaginary time "outdated"? I was looking at reviews for Sakurai's Quantum Mechanics textbook, and some mentioned it being outdated, specifically mentioning his use of imaginary time. Is this idea deliberately avoided in modern treatments?
I can't see why a simple parameter change t->it, would be or not be an outdated concept. It doesn't make things significantly prettier, but it doesn't hurt anything either.
With that said I've never before heard the specific phrase imaginary time so maybe it is outdated.

Chita Rivera at the Café Carlyle
She ran down the list of her Broadway co-stars: Ricardo Montalban, Donald O'Connor (the disastrous Bring Back Birdie), Antonio Banderas (upon whose shoulder she placed a shapely leg in Nine) and, her admitted favorite, Dick Van Dyke, with whom she co-starred in "Bye Bye Birdie" from which she sang "A Lot of Livin' To Do" giving it a sassy, winking interpretation making it impossible to deny that the title is very on the mark. It wouldn't be a Chita Rivera show without a mention of her iconic Anita in "West Side Story." A meeting with Leonard Bernstein to go over her songs just after she had been cast was nerve-wracking as she never had considered herself a singer. History has proved that her singing almost equals her dancing. "A Boy Like That" and "America," complete with some mini-choreography were nothing short of electrifying. [more]
Another Son of Venezuela
Dynamic performer Migguel Anggelo exhilaratingly recalls the showmanship of Desi Arnaz and the performance art of Klaus Nomi in his terrific autobiographical cabaret act, "Another Son of Venezuela," that has the razzle dazzle of a Bob Fosse production. [more]
Joan Osborne – Songs of Bob Dylan
Most people have difficulty imagining Bob Dylan as anything but the down-and-out troubadour singing for his supper in Greenwich Village nightspots in the early Sixties. He is, in fact, an incredibly prolific, sophisticated writer and Ms. Osborne slid easily from his country/western tinged ballads ("Tonight I'll be Staying Here with You") to his scathing, but clear-eyed philosophy of the world ("Gotta Serve Somebody") to his tender love songs ("Forever Young") and on to his Christian evangelical period ("Saved"). [more]
Broadway Close Up: William Finn
Two veterans of the most recent revival of On the Town were splendid interpreters of Finn's songs. First, Stephen DeRosa conjured a second-rate out-of-town production of "March of the Falsettos" populated by egos and amateurs. He sang "The Baseball Game" brilliantly-and schizophrenically—taking on each character of this bitingly satirical song. Later he sang the scathing, sexually explicit "Republicans" in which a liberal gets even with a Republican in an unprintable way. Then his colleague Alysha Umphress sang a rousing "Set Those Sails" ("In Trousers") and "Change" ("A New Brain"), both songs dealing differently with moving on. Ms. Umphress's "Song of the Full Refrigerator," about the temptations of food—"eat first and get depressed later"—was scarily right on the money. [more]

LANSING, MI – The Michigan Department of Natural Resources would like to remind those planning or organizing a bass fishing tournament in 2016 that all tournaments must be registered with the DNR.
In October 2015 the DNR's Natural Resources Commission issued Fisheries Order 215.15A requiring all bass fishing tournaments held in 2016 and thereafter to be registered online using the department's Michigan Fishing Tournament Information System. This requirement is for bass tournaments only and those that occur at both DNR and non-DNR-owned boat launches.
In addition to registration, the Michigan Fishing Tournament Information System also offers a public search component to identify when and where tournaments are occurring throughout Michigan.
To register, tournament directors must go to the DNR's Michigan Fishing Tournament Information System, which can be found online at mcgi.state.mi.us/fishingtournaments or Michigan.gov/fishing. Instructions on how to access the system, add tournaments and report tournament catch data also are available online.

Finishing the saga: Stoic on bringing Banner Saga 3 back to Kickstarter
MCV Staff 16th February 2017	Business
Banner Saga is back on Kickstarter for the third and final entry in Stoic's epic turn-based strategy series. MCV catches up with technical director John Watson (pictured) to find out why the studio's returned to crowdfunding and what lessons it's learned over the last five years.
Stoic's Banner Saga was one of the early Kickstarter success stories. Announced back in 2012 with a funding goal of $100,000, players flocked to this new turn-based strategy RPG in their droves, pledging over $720,000 by the end of its campaign and simultaneously securing the future of its intended sequel, Banner Saga 2.
With both games financed, Stoic's future looked bright. However, after the second game struggled to match the sales figures of its predecessor, the studio realised just how big a role the community had played in getting the first title off the ground.
With the fate of the third and final game in the series now hanging in the balance, Stoic was determined not to let its past mistakes get the better of it, which is why it returned to Kickstarter last month to ask for $200,000 to help finish the development of the much-anticipated Banner Saga 3.
"When we were planning and prototyping the first Banner Saga, we saw Kickstarter as a great way of promoting our game and getting the word out," Stoic's technical director John Watson tells MCV.
"We also hoped to get a little cash to alleviate our biggest bottleneck, the animation work. We were expecting a much smaller amount of money, and were planning a smaller, more lo-fidelity game as a result. When the first Banner Saga Kickstarter was a success by over 720 per cent of our goal, our scope became larger and grander, and the project turned into the game we have today."
However, this change in direction took its toll on Stoic, and the then-trio of former BioWare developers simply didn't have the resources to give Banner Saga 2 the same kind of exposure.
"Banner Saga 1 exhausted us completely," says Watson. "It was the hardest work we had ever done. It sold well, and we were focused on all the follow-on work.
"However, we let our community go pretty quiet during Banner Saga 2's development, because we're a very small team and every single member of staff was overwhelmed by the amount of work required. Our team was too small for anyone to have any bandwidth to plan and run a crowd-funding campaign while simultaneously doing development on the game.
Indeed, Watson says he continues to meet former Banner Saga players who have no idea a sequel even exists. "Banner Saga 2 launched well and was generally considered a superior game, but it's had difficulty gaining awareness," he admits.
"I meet people every week who played and loved the first Banner Saga but aren't even aware that Banner Saga 2 has been released. Hopefully our current crowdfunding efforts [for Banner Saga 3] will help increase awareness."
MAINTAINING MORALE
Watson's plan seems to have worked, too, as Banner Saga 3 quickly met its funding goal in under a week. "Crowdfunding helps pull your audience together, creates buzz, and sometimes allows you to manufacture cool merchandise that would be too expensive to produce otherwise," he says.
"I want to stress that an immense amount of behind-the-scenes work goes into planning and running a crowdfunding campaign, and that work continues for years after the campaign ends as well.
"We've been planning our current Banner Saga 3 Kickstarter for many months, and it's been a full time job for several of us. I think that most people would be shocked at the amount of iteration, changing, reshuffling, and design work that goes into a crowdfunding campaign behind the scenes before it even opens to the public."
Watson tells us Stoic did consider using private investment to help fund the series' final chapter, but the studio eventually decided against it.
"We realised that it wasn't a good fit," he says. "More money will make the game better without a doubt, but will it really make the game more profitable? Probably not.
"Taking any kind of money will relieve some of the budget pressures we deal with on a daily basis, but with investment money you have to pay it back, normally at a three-times rate. So if we took $500k investment, we're paying back $1.5m back in the end.
"If the game isn't more profitable because of the investment, you've just undermined your ability to keep the studio running and making the next great game."
This fear of undermining the studio is one of the main reasons Stoic chose to return to Kickstarter rather than launch the game on another crowdfunding platform, such as Fig.
"Fig.co is a great platform and we are friends with some of the people who run it. But for Banner Saga 3 we preferred to go with completely traditional crowdfunding and avoid taking investment money," says Watson.
"One of our primary goals is to make all three games fit together relatively seamlessly, almost as one continuous game. Therefore, any changes to gameplay, mechanics, and scope must be considered carefully to keep the three games consistent and coherent with each other. We can't just throw money at Banner Saga 3 and turn it into a totally different game, because then it wouldn't match the others. Investment works better for a 'blue sky' new game where your direction and design isn't yet fully formed."
CARAVAN COMMUNITY
Watson says he also believes crowdfunding will continue to be a dominating force in indie development, despite the platform experiencing its first year of decline since it started in 2009.
"Crowdfunding will be around for a long time, even if it changes in scope and technique," he says. "It is an excellent way for things to get made that would not otherwise exist. Banner Saga, really, is an improbable game.
"It is unique in many ways, and very expensive to make. The art and animation style are shockingly labor-intensive, making it an 'impractical' game from a development and business perspective. It's unlikely that a risk-averse corporation would attempt such a thing, and it's not the type of game that one would have made as a pure business decision.
"Our game would not exist in its current form without that original backing of crowdfunding. But now that the crowd has decided that this game should exist, it has had an impact on the game landscape. People frequently make comparisons of new games with Banner Saga, and several projects exist that are directly inspired by it."
Needless to say, Watson's been very pleased with how players have received Banner Saga 3, and he says the studio plans to keep them involved throughout the rest of its development.
"The reception has been very exciting and gratifying. People are ready to see the final act in this story, and we are anxious to tell it. We've been fortunate, during the entire five-year history of our studio, to have some of the best followers and fans.We'll engage our community throughout development.
"One of the centerpieces of our Kickstarter campaign is the ability for backers to participate in limited alpha-testing of in-development battles, which we hope will provide a focus and motivator for continued interaction."
He added: "We've really poured our blood, sweat, and tears into this series and seeing the entire three-act story completed and available for players will be an immensely satisfying moment. I hope that the series continues to astonish and delight people for years to come."
MOBILE WARFARE: PAYING THE PRICE
While originally developed for PC, Stoic has also brought its Banner Saga games to mobile and consoles, spending over a year after the first game's release supporting the porting process.
"We went quickly into mobile development, because we had kept touchscreen user interfaces in mind from the beginning and had set the technology up in a way to make it relatively straightforward."
"Our console porting took much longer because a year into development, the porting team went out of business entirely, and we had to essentially start over with a new team. With Banner Saga 2's technology re-use, we were able to launch on mobile and console much more quickly."
Stoic chose to use a premium model for the mobile version of Banner Saga, but Watson says the team struggled to nail down an appropriate price: "We launched the mobile versions at a lower price, which I'm not sure was the correct choice.
"We launched the original Banner Saga for $10 (£7) on mobile, then one year later lowered the price to $5 (£3.99). The price lowering was attended by an increase in sales, so we interpreted that as meaning the correct price was $5.
"However, I believe by launching [Banner Saga 2] at $5 we kind of shot ourselves in the foot by undermining potential revenue from people who wanted the game no matter what. The $5 price is good for the long tail of sales perhaps. The game is obviously worth far more than $5, as the exact same game sells for $20 on other platforms.
"For our console launch [of Banner Saga 2], we participated in Xbox One Games With Gold during launch month, which resulted in a massive number of completely new players coming into the game. That is very exciting for us as we develop Banner Saga 3, and hope that all those new players will join us for the final chapter."

8 shot, 2 fatally, Tuesday in Chicago
CHICAGO - Eight people were shot, two of them fatally, Tuesday in Chicago including two people who were shot, one fatally, in Chatham on the South Side.
Officers responded about 7:20 p.m. to a call of shots fired in the 7500 block of South Lafayette Avenue, and found two people with gunshot wounds in the parking lot of a restaurant, Chicago police said. A male, whose age wasn't known, was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene. The other person, a 19-year-old man, was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in good condition with a gunshot wound to his hand.
About an hour prior a man was killed when he was struck by a stray bullet in Bridgeport on the South Side. The 68-year-old was driving east about 6 p.m. in the 800 block of West 31st Street, when someone fired shots and gunfire went through the back window of his vehicle, striking him in the head, police said. The man's vehicle then collided with a snowbank. He was transported to Stroger Hospital, where he died. He was not the intended target of the shooting.
In non-fatal shootings, a 27-year-old man was seriously wounded in a shooting in Hyde Park on the South Side. He was sitting in a parked vehicle about 8:50 p.m. in the 5500 block of South Everett Avenue when a male approached on foot and began firing shots, police said. The man suffered gunshot wounds to the back and buttocks. He was transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center in serious condition.
A woman was critically wounded after a man she knew opened fire through a closed door in Woodlawn. The man stood outside and kept asking to be let inside before he shot through the door, police said. The woman, 26, was shot in her abdomen and taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center. The shooting happened about 5:15 a.m. in the 6200 block of South Champlain Avenue. The shooter left the scene and was not in custody.
A man and woman were wounded in a drive-by in Gresham on the South Side. About 1 a.m., the man and woman, 19 and 20, were driving a vehicle in the 8300 block of South Damen Avenue, when someone inside a passing SUV fired shots at them, police said. The man was struck in the face and chest, while the woman was struck in the leg. The man was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in critical condition, and the woman was taken to the same hospital in good condition.
Thirty minutes prior, a 17-year-old man was wounded in a drive-by in Englewood on the South Side. About 12:30 a.m., he was walking in the 5700 block of South Laflin Street, when someone fired shots at him, striking him in the left elbow, police said. He told officers he immediately saw a dark-colored SUV flee the scene after shots were fired. The boy was brought to University of Chicago Medical Center where he was stabilized.
Seven people were shot citywide, Monday in Chicago.

"Well, brother, in the end I'm sure you'll see these financial problems are actually a blessing in disguise." Have you ever heard anybody say that to someone who's hurting financially? Chances are, you have. It's a popular idea. The problem is, it's a lie used by the devil to keep believers down.
As a result, many believers today are suffering one financial defeat after another. So let's go to the Word of God today and get the issue of prosperity and poverty straight. Let's find out, once and for all, which is the blessing, which the curse.
You can find the answer to that question in Deuteronomy 28. What God describes in verses 1 through 14 is the blessing—prosperity. In verses 15 through 31, God describes poverty—and He has called it a curse.
Satan has gone to great lengths to convince God's people that poverty is a blessing in disguise. But poverty is something the devil contrived!
Don't buy into his lies. Get your thinking in line with the Word of God. If you're a born-again child of God, you no longer have to live under the curse of poverty or any other curse for that matter. You've been redeemed!


Part of building a strong foundation for a child's financial future is taking steps to minimize the risk that his or her Social Security number, bank account details or other valuable personal information will be stolen. Here are tips to help parents and caregivers protect young people from cyber-related identity theft and financial fraud.
Talk with your child about safe online practices.
Consider discussing the risks of sharing personal information online, including the possibility that someone can gather small amounts of personal information to guess the correct answers to security questions, reset passwords and take control of financial accounts.
Help your child learn to analyze advertisements, some of which may be fraudulent.
"Explain that advertising, even in an online video clip, is intended to get people to make purchases or otherwise act on things they might not usually do," said Luke W. Reynolds, chief of the FDIC's Outreach and Program Development Section. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has an online game called Admongo to help youngsters age 8-12 think critically about advertising and make smarter decisions as consumers.
Explain why keeping money in a financial institution is safe.
Checking, savings or other deposit accounts at a federally insured financial institution carry protections related to theft and fraud (see How Federal Laws and Industry Practices Limit Losses From Cyberattacks), making them a safe place for your money. If your child doesn't already have a deposit account, consider opening one. Learn about federal deposit insurance if a bank fails, including how to verify that a bank is FDIC-insured by going to www.fdic.gov/deposit/deposits/. And, to find age-appropriate information and activities for kids plus FDIC "Money Smart" guides that help parents and caregivers talk with their children about key financial topics, visit a website developed by the FDIC and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Make sure your child's devices are configured to download the latest updates from the manufacturer because they usually include security-related enhancements. Almost all video game equipment connects to the Internet and may link to information such as credit or debit card numbers.
If a company wants to collect data on your child, find out why.
Be aware of possible signs that a child is the victim of identity theft.
Criminals may steal the identity of children to file claims for government benefits or apply for a loan online. "While not necessarily a sign of identity theft, your child receiving unsolicited mail or phone calls from marketers can indicate that personal information has been shared somehow. It's best to take the time to understand why," Reynolds noted.
Consider asking the three major nationwide credit reporting agencies — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — to check if your minor child has a credit report.
If the answer is "yes," review the report to find out if a thief has misused your child's name. For additional guidance, go to the FTC's "Child Identity Theft" page, which has contact information for the credit reporting agencies and tips if a child's identity has been stolen, including how to place a fraud alert in a credit report that can minimize future damage.
The FTC adds that it is generally a good idea for parents to conduct this review of credit reports close to a child's 16th birthday. Doing so allows time to fix errors or other problems before he or she might want to apply for a loan or a job.
For more information and tips on how to protect kids online, visit the federal government's OnGuardOnline. The FDIC also has Money Smart guides that offer exercises, activities and conversation starters for parents and caregivers to help young people of all ages to learn about money.

A Nation in Decline?
By Doug Henwood, Michael D. Yates (Posted Sep 23, 2010)
"When there are no social movements bringing the masses of working people together in battle against the owning class and their allies, those whose lives have been turned upside down by economic crisis and those who find that their former privileges as white persons are threatened find easy scapegoats in 'illegal aliens,' in racial minorities, in Muslims, in the poor. Or they are convinced that the government is engaging in some gigantic conspiracy to separate them from their money." — Michael D. Yates
