Pope Francis has ordered an investigation of an American bishop accused of sexual misconduct with adults and accepted his resignation, the Vatican and U.S. Church officials said on Thursday.
The announcement was made as the pope was meeting U.S. Catholic Church leaders to discuss the fallout from a scandal involving a former American cardinal and demands from an archbishop that the pontiff steps down.

The Catholic Church worldwide is reeling from crises involving sexual abuse of minors. Surveys show plummeting confidence in the Church the United States, Chile, Australia, and Ireland where the scandal has hit hardest, as well as in other countries.
The bishop who resigned is Michael J. Bransfield, 75, of the diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, West Virginia. The Vatican said the pope had appointed Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore to run the diocese until a new bishop is appointed.

Neither the Vatican nor the Archdiocese of Baltimore gave any details of the specific allegations against Bransfield.
The Archdiocese of Baltimore's website said the pope had instructed Lori to conduct an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment of adults by Bransfield.
"My primary concern is for the care and support of the priests and people of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston at this difficult time," Lori said in a statement.
"I further pledge to conduct a thorough investigation in search of the truth into the troubling allegations against Bishop Bransfield and to work closely with the clergy, religious and lay leaders of the diocese until the appointment of a new bishop," he said.

#OsunDecides2018: Court turns down request to hear suit during vacation


For the first time this year International Beer Festival Budweis has elected not only the best beer, but also the Brewery of the Year (IBFB Grand Champion). We granted points to all the finals positions: 10 points for gold, 7 for silver, 5 for bronze, 3 for the 4th place finish, 2 for the 5th place finish and one point for the 6th place finish.
The most successful collector of finals positions in the competitions of the Gold Brewer's Seal 2016 was Slovak Golden Pheasant (Heineken Slovakia, Hurbanovo). In addition to two gold seals it managed to win three more medals (1 silver, 2 bronze) and three other finals positions. The participation in 8 finals is an impressive result and a sign of a really high quality of the entire product range of this largest Slovak brewery. It also owes a significant part of its success to the British label Strongbow as well as the range of ciders of this label having a licensed production in Slovakia.
The follow-up awards have been distributed mostly among Czech breweries, especially Albrecht from Frydlant and Rakovnik Brewery.
The results of other small brewery houses are also impressive: Clock Brewery from Potstejn not only managed to repeat its triumph from last year in the most prestigious category with the highest number of participants (IPA), but has also won a kind of a "double" winning the "classic Ale" this year. Jilovice has gained valuable gold in the category of Lager and then added icing on the cake in the form of the Major Prize - victory across categories. Roznov and The Three Roses (U Tri Ruzi) dominated stronger specials. Cassa from Kosice succeeded greatly in highly competitive categories.
Heineken Holding has achieved a landslide victory this year as the most successful brewing group. Its brands Golden Pheasant, Karlovacko, Krusovice, Breznak and Starobrno have won the total of 4 gold, 3 silver, 3 bronze medals and 6 other finals positions.
The international competition at the gold seals event has again grown significantly not only in quantity, but also in quality. Among the international participants, besides Slovak representatives (Golden Pheasant, Cassa Brewery), German Mahr's Bräu with two gold medals has made itself a lot more visible. Microbreweries from Hungary (this time especially Guri Brewery and Stari Brewery) have been able to repeat (and even slightly improve) its achievements from last year. Polish Perla has been doing well repeatedly at the gold seals. On the other hand, for the first time ever Croatian Karlovacko, Russian One Ton and Velka Morava scored heavily in South Bohemia. A number of foreign participants have remained behind the medal positions such as Austrian Gusswerk (4th place in the category of Stout & Porter), Russian Trehsosensky (4th place in the category of Strong Pale Beer), or German Waldhaus (4th place among light beers).

This past month I felt a huge sense of overwhelm in just about every area of my life. My mindset started to shift several months ago, but I kept pushing those thoughts and ideas away, but when we went to Colorado and I had some time to decompress, they came flooding back in. That week of fresh air and lots extra hands to help with Owen, allowed me to get clear and finally start working on a few things I'd been dying to do.
I left our trip feeling great, but then we got home and reality set in. The house was a mess, there were mounds of laundry to be done, I had unfinished projects and no longer had both of my parents there to help out. Before I knew it, all those feelings of peace, calm and intention were gone.
Were those great ideas I had in Colorado actually dumb? Would anyone care? I was so overwhelmed with fear, self-doubt and an ever-growing to do list that I was paralyzed.
It seemed there were never enough hours in the day, and when I did find the time, I was struggling to figure out what to do first. I'd start something, and then stop before it was done, and then move onto something else. I was busy all damn day, but nothing was finished, which only led to more overwhelm.
Self-doubt, fear and worry. I was second guessing the side project I'd been working on, I was scared to make changes even though I knew in my gut that they were right, and worried of what people would think of me. It's a slippery slope—and a big reason that I knew I needed to eliminate overwhelm from my life to get back to being my happy, care-free self.
After putting these tips into practice, my sense of overwhelm has diminished greatly. My confidence has come back and I finally hit publish on my secret little project, made a few updates to my site (you'll see more small things rolling out soon), and finally committed to what I felt in my heart.
I hope these tips can help you find some peace in your life too!
Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed, it's hard for to pinpoint exactly where the feeling is coming from. Nothing helps more than putting pen to paper and spilling out all my feelings and thoughts. You can simply make a list, or journal if that's suits you better. Pouring out every thing that's in your brain can make it easier to pin point the issue that's the root of your overwhelm.
When I start my days with no real plan in place, I end up getting very little done. When there's no set goals for the day, it's easy to jump from task to task and not actually complete anything. You might be busy all day, but not actually move the needle forward on anything. I'm guilty of this!
To give my weeks more intention and to make myself feel more productive and efficient, I like to spend a half hour to an hour on Sunday and plan out my week in advance. Everything doesn't always go according to plan, but I'm much more productive and my days feel much calmer. I got the idea from this episode of Courage and Clarity—it's a must-listen episode if you're feeling like your weeks are chaotic!
Whenever I feel my anxiety or frustration rising, I stop, close my eyes and make several deep breathes. In my head, I breathe in the positive things in my life, and breathe out the negative things that are no longer serving me.
It might sound a little hippie, but just give it a few breathes and you'll feel much better and more capable of handling the situation.
Who else is a bit of a control freak? I used to consider myself very laid back, but in my adult years, I find that when too many things feel out of my control, I get overwhelmed and stressed. I've been working hard to just let the those things go. It's easier said than done, but the more I practice just letting it go, the easier it gets and the more peace surrounds me.
I've never been into meal prepping, mostly because I like deciding what to cook in the moment, but I do like to ingredient prep! Spend an hour or so over the weekend and either prep meals or ingredients for the week to make your evenings less hectic and more enjoyable.
Learning to say "no" and not feel bad about it is truly a skill and comes with practice! But, once you've mastered it, it is so empowering. Putting less on your agenda gets rid of physical overwhelm, because you simply don't have as much to do!
When you start to see how much better you feel when you're only saying yes to the things you actually want to do, you'll find so much more abundance and happiness in your life!
I'll be the first to admit, I'm not that great at relaxing. I thrive on being busy and checking things off my list, but as I get older I'm learning to appreciate doing less. I'll grab a book, a magazine I've been wanting to read or do a face mask.
Taking the time to just sit and relax puts everything into perspective. When it's time to get going again, you'll feel recharged and more prepared to take on whatever comes your way.
I'm guilty of not making the best use of my time. I'll put Owen down for a nap and instead of taking that time to check a few items off of my list, I'll putz around the house, doing a few dishes, folding half the laundry and writing half a blog post. Before I know it, he's up again and I'm scratching my head wondering how nothing got done—know the feeling?!
This shouldn't be confused with being constantly busy. As I get older, busy is no longer a term I glorify. Instead, be purposeful with your time. Whether that means getting work done, or taking an hour for self-care. Allow yourself to be present in that moment and enjoy every minute of it.
Whether it's work that's overwhelming you or simply a hectic family life, when you start to reach your breaking point, take a moment and remember your 'why'. Coming back to your 'why', or purpose, can easily shift your mindset and make you content with your situation, maybe even grateful for all the things you have going on, even if it often feels like too much.
Not sure what your 'why' or purpose is? It took me a while to figure it out for myself so I created a whole workbook to help you uncover yours— get it here !
Last, but not least, exercise is one of the best ways to help ditch overwhelm and clear your mind. Go for a quick jog or walk around your neighborhood and leave your phone at home. Sometimes all we need is a little nature to clear our minds.
Do you often feel overwhelmed? What tips do you have for getting rid of this feeling?!

Q: How to Get R.string in ViewModel Class of DataBinding in Android I am currently using databinding for my android application project. I want to set the error message on my CustomTextView from R.string.txtOldPassWordError and set it up from another class called ViewModelClass.
Here is my XML code
<com.horseproject.widget.CustomEditText
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
    android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/dp_20"
    android:drawablePadding="@dimen/dp_10"
    android:hint="@string/enter_old_password"
    android:inputType="textPassword"
    android:lines="1"
    android:text="@={ChangePasswordVM.userOldPassword}"
    android:textColorHint="@color/gray_text"
    app:drawableLeftCompat="@drawable/ic_password_lock"
    app:drawableTintCompat="@color/gray_app"
    app:error="@{ChangePasswordVM.userOldPasswordError}" />

and this is ViewModelClass.java
public class ChangePasswordViewModel extends BaseObservable {

    public ObservableField<String> userOldPassword = new ObservableField<>("");

    public void userPasswordChange() {

        if ((TextUtils.isEmpty(userOldPassword.get()))) {
            userOldPasswordError.set("Please enter your old password");
            return;
        } else if (userOldPassword.get().length() <= 5) {
            userOldPasswordError.set("Password should contain minimum 6 characters");
            return;
        } else {
            userOldPasswordError.set(null);
        }
    }
}

and this is string from strings.xml
<string name="select">Please Enter Old Password</string>

So, I want to access this string in my viewModel class and set it as error message instead of hardcoded it directly as string.
So how can i achieve this? I am using Android Studio 3.0 Beta Version. Any help would be really appreciated.

A: You can send context into the layout like this :
XML :
<!--
<data>
     <variable
          name="observable"
          type="...MyBaseObservableClass"
     />
</data>
 -->

android:text="@{observable.getDescription(context)}"

MyBaseObservableClass.kt :
@Bindable
fun getDescription(context: Context): String {
    return context.getString(R.string.my_string)
}

fun setNewData(data: Object) {
     this.data = data
     notifyPropertyChanged(BR.description)
}

A: Using an ObservableInt worked for me. Adding this to the ViewModel
private final ObservableInt mErrorText = new ObservableInt(R.string.empty_text);

public ObservableInt getErrorText() {
   return mErrorText;
}

And just setting a new String value
mErrorText.set(R.string.text_not_valid);

In the xml add the following to the TextView
android:text="@{viewModel.errorText}"

A: Create ResourceProvider class
public class ResourceProvider {

    private Context mContext;

    public ResourceProvider(Context mContext) {
        this.mContext = mContext;
    }

    public String getString(int resId) {
        return mContext.getString(resId);
    }

    public String getString(int resId, String value) {
        return mContext.getString(resId, value);
    }
}

now go to your ApplicationClass and paste
public class YourAppName extends Application {
  // Resource Provider
    private ResourceProvider mResourceProvider;
    public ResourceProvider getResourceProvider() {
        if (mResourceProvider == null)
            mResourceProvider = new ResourceProvider(this);

        return mResourceProvider;
    }
}

now go to your ChangePasswordViewModel and create object of  ResourceProvider
private ResourceProvider mResourceProvider;

and pass it in constroctor of ChangePasswordViewModel
than you can access it by
 userOldPasswordError.set(mResourceProvider.getString(R.string.select));

Q: Primitive 16th root of unity I'm struggling with a question I've got as I can't seem to wrap my head around Galois theory much.
i)Prove that $\zeta^{2}$ is a primitive 8th root of unity and $\zeta^{4}$ is a primitive 4th root of unity. Deduce then that $\zeta$ is a constructible number, where $\zeta$ is primitive 16th root of unity.
I've tried different methods for this now and I'm just confusing myself more unfortunately. We had a question earlier which I was trying to work off since they seemed similar but now I'm not sure. The question was

*

*If $\zeta$ is the primitive 10th root of unity then show $-\zeta$ is a 5th root of unity.

They answered this by saying:
$1=\zeta^{16}=(\zeta^{5})^2$, thus $\zeta^{5}$ is one of $\pm$1. Since $\zeta$ is a primitive 10th root of unity then $\zeta^{5}=1$. Thus: $(-\zeta)^5=(-1)^5\zeta^{5}=(-1)(-1)=1$ (eqn.2), which shows its a 5th root and the fact that $-\zeta \neq 1$ we get that $-\zeta$ is primitive 5th root of unty.
I have been trying to apply this to my question as its the only similar example weve been given but i cant get my eqn.2 to equal 1.
Am I going about this in the worst way/ just a wrong way? Any help would be appreciated since Galois theory is very tricky for me.

A: You can prove this directly from definitions.  Obviously $\zeta^2$ is an $8$th root of unity and $\zeta^4$ is a $4$th root of unity, so all you need to show is that they're primitive.  Suppose they weren't.  That would mean, in the one case, that $\zeta^2$ is a $4$th root of unity, which would mean that $\zeta$ is an $8$th root of unity, which would mean that $\zeta$ is not a primitive $16$th root of unity, contrdicting our choice of $\zeta$.  An analogous argument works for $\zeta^4$.

Hong Kong: The Road to 1997 (review)

University of Hawai'i Press
Volume 6, Number 2, Fall 1999

Hong Kong: The Road to 1997
Danny S. L. Paau (bio)
Roger Buckley. Hong Kong: The Road to 1997. Cambridge (England) and New York: Cambridge University Press, 1997. xxi, 232 pp. Hardcover, ISBN 0-521-47008-0. Paperback, ISBN 0-521-46979-1.
Roger Buckley states that this book is a "survey" by an "outsider" for "other outsiders" (p. xvi). He promises first to provide a summary history of and an accounting for Hong Kong's metamorphosis from an obscure fishing village into a major business hub, and second to "offer estimates" on the fate of the former British colony after reunification (p. xvi). "Synthesizing" the findings of authors of existing academic works (p. xiii), Buckley has done a fair job of delivering on his first promise. Critics, to be sure, may argue whether too much credit is given to the foresight of the British governors and the efficiency of their administrations. In any case, distrusting China as he does (like many other contemporary Western observers), Buckley's "fortune-telling" for Hong Kong is hampered by his inability to understand China's policy priorities or the complexity of Hong Kong-related issues in spite of his having lived there for a year. He has clearly made an effort to understand, from the way he appears to have consulted many relevant sources, but whether he could effectively have utilized Chinese-language sources as well is less certain. Although there is already an abundance of literature on Hong Kong's success, its assumed imminent doom, or the now obsolete Patten-China confrontations, Buckley's year in Hong Kong does seem to have made some difference in his ability to contribute to this literature, and his book still has its deserved place. To begin with, unlike many who have stopped just short of voicing their opposition to Hong Kong's reversion (although he does display a similar fear and distrust of China), he is nonetheless able to offer observations that are more balanced than can be found in other books on Hong Kong.
Buckley attributes Hong Kong's phenomenal success to British "arms," "voices," and "administrators" (p. 167) and even to the "Victorian ethos" (p. xvii), rather than to the usually credited Confucian ethics. Yet he is one of few who is able to see, and dare to speak out on, what has been obvious all along—that during their tenure, the British repeatedly neglected opportunities for implementing either democracy or autonomy in Hong Kong. He bluntly points to the fact that, until the very end, Hong Kong remained no more than "a British colony," and that "it serves no historical purpose to disguise this reality" (p. 165). Buckley mercilessly brushes aside all the diplomatic language that may have been used to justify or whitewash this delay of democracy and autonomy under British rule, and dismisses the loudly heralded changes implemented on the eve of the changeover as "largely cosmetic" (p. 166). [End Page 392]
Like many of his Western contemporaries, Buckley distrusts China and predicts no brighter future for Hong Kong after its reversion. He laments that in spite of the change of masters, its colonial status will continue "against its volition" (p. xii). Also, like his fellow Westerners, Buckley believes that salvation for Hong Kong means either independence or autonomy. He refers to Hong Kong as a "local state" (p. 180) or a "city-state" (p. xii). Cynical readers may marvel at his enthusiasm for independence for Hong Kong after already admitting that he has found that "no internal demand for independence" has arisen there (p. 170). He worries about "an overly strong Chinese state presence" and frequent "oblique suggestions from the North" (p. 180), yet he does not seem to mind that Hong Kong will continue to "leave its domestic administration in safe expatriate hands" instead of those of the Hong Kong people (p. 173)!
Perhaps Buckley differs most from other Western commentators on Hong Kong in his pragmatic attitude toward China, and in his readiness to offer the people of Hong Kong advice as opposed to rhetoric. He does not, for example, advocate confrontation, struggle, or nonacceptance of change since he realizes that "China and Chinese power...

The core research area Biodiversity and Marine Research originates in the integration of expertise in organisms and environmental research within both the Department of Biology and Environmental Sciences and the Department of Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment. The first contributes mainly to the issues of physiological, sensory, and genetic adaptations of organisms to their environment, whereas the latter has its focus on interdisciplinary environmental research with issues like marine element cycles and energy flow in water and sediments as well as at the sediment – water column interface, and the functional role of marine biodiversity. These issues are embedded in the research landscape of north-western Germany by cooperation with groups at the University of Bremen and a number of research institutes or facilities in the surroundings of Oldenburg that contribute expertise in the area of biodiversity research, ecology, bird migration, and evolutionary biology. These institutes comprise for example the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology (MPI-MM, Bremen), the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar und Marine Research (AWI, Bremerhaven), the Institute "Senckenberg am Meer" (SaM Wilhelmshaven), the Leibniz Centre for Marine Tropical Ecology (ZMT, Bremen), and the Institute for Ornithology "Vogelwarte Helgoland" (IfV, Wilhelmshaven). This core area is the largest in the faculty regarding the number of assigned professorships. To date we can differentiate between two subdivisions:
Subdivision A: Biodiversity and Evolution
Subdivision B: Marine Research
A scientific goal of this core area is to study biodiversity on different organisational levels, starting with the adaptability of organisms and their genetic basis, proceeding to the analysis of interaction between species and finally ending at the functional role of biodiversity in ecosystems. Groups in the Institute of Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment (ICBM) and in the Institute of Biology and Environmental Research contribute to this area. By means of empirical and theoretical approaches the scientists study evolutionary and ecological processes that steer the actual patterns of terrestrial and marine biodiversity and their dynamics. A main focus lays on the dynamics of biodiversity in these days with rapid global change and the consequences of this change for ecosystem processes in ecosystems.
In the course of application for a Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (CiBAS) in the framework of a call by the DFG (German Research Foundation) (Koordination: Hillebrand, ICBM) in 2010/2011 this research area has developed even further and gained a unique profile. The appraisal of the referees shed light to the extraordinary quality of biodiversity research in Oldenburg and recommended a further development in this area at our location. A one of the results of this activity research groups from the ICBM, IBU and colleagues from the University of Göttingen conceived a research project, that addresses biodiversity in a terrestrial-marine gradient (funding started in November 2013 by the Ministry of Science and Education in Lower Saxony). An application for a postgraduate qualification programme "Interdisciplinary approach to functional biodiversity research" was submitted in June 2013 at the same Ministry. We further plan to establish a Centre for Functional Marine Biodiversity in cooperation with ICBM and the Alfred-Wegener-Institute (AWI) Bremerhaven at the site Wechloy. The IBU will strengthen the evolutionary and ecological aspects of biodiversity by two additional professorships (Ecological Genomics, Evolutionary Genetics of Plants). The ICBM is currently developing this research area by a joint professorship with AWI (Biodiversity and Biological Processes in Polar Oceans) and by a second joint professorship with Senckenberg "Benthosecology".
The central research topics of the ICBM are biodiversity within the framework of trophic webs, the marine bacteria group Roseobacter, and the study of the composition of organic compounds in the ocean. Within the SFB TR 51 scientists based in Oldenburg, Braunschweig and Göttingen study one of the most important group of marine bacteria under the title "Ecology, Physiology, and Molecular Biology of the Roseobacter group: starting point towards a system biological understanding of a globally important group of marine Bacteria". Marine research is considerably strengthened by theoretical groups that deal with modelling of biodiversity, bioinvasion, plankton dynamics, ecosystem stability, aggregation and sea currents. In addition to that significant support is provided by two Max-Planck research groups led by K. Pahnke and T. Dittmar (the latter is continued since September 2013 as Max-Planck-Bridge-Professorship) as well as by cooperative professorships with HZG (Helmholtz Centre Geesthacht), AWI (Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research) Bremerhaven and SaM (Senckenberg am Meer, German Centre for Marine Biodiversity Research) Wilhelmshaven. Both professorships Marine Measurement Technology (O. Zielinski) and Biosensors (N.N.) strengthen the technological aspect in marine research and bridge the gap to applied marine research and to Jade-Hochschule (Technical University) in Wilhelmshaven. Coastal zones and shallow seas remain an important research area in the future. Marine research in Oldenburg has established a unique position on the national and international community in particular by the system approach to understand the wadden sea, that serves as a model region for other coastal zones. Further national and international projects in that marine research in Oldenburg is involved are Bioacid II, the Jena Experiment, the virtual Helmholtz-Institut Polar Time, and the Scientific Monitoring Concept for the German Bight (WIMO). The group "Hydrogeology" (G. Massmann, IBU) collaborates closely with the geochemical groups in the ICBM, in that way forming a research network beyond the department.

Kenya-based foodtech startup, Kune, closes $1 million pre-seed round for official launch
by Joy Matthew | Jun 17, 2021
Kune, a Kenya-based foodtech startup, has announced raising $1 million in pre-seed funding. This raise was led by pan-African early-stage VC, Launch Africa Ventures. Consonance Investments, Liechtenstein-based investment company, Century Oak Capital GmbH, and Pariti, an ecosystem management firm also invested in this round.
Founded in December 2020 by France-born Robin Reecht, Kune's objective is to provide ready-to-eat food services at a moderate price.
Reecht revealed, per TechCrunch, that when he moved to Kenya in 2020, he found it difficult to get affordable and well-cooked food anywhere other than Uber Eats, Jumia, or Glovo with foods that go for $10. The alternative — cheap roadside food — didn't taste as good.
He took it upon himself to proffer a sustainable solution to bridge the gap between great food and affordable pricing. The following month, he started Kune.
Reecht tested for product/market fit by creating a trial in a week, from which he got 50 excited customers who had probably been waiting for such a solution. After the trial, his customer base grew to 150 people, and the startup sold over 500 meals.
Food prices cost as little as $4, and Kune raised $50,000 from customers to sustain operations.
Business was so good that the startup's small team struggled to meet their orders. Consequently, the quality of service dropped, and the company decided to retreat and take a break.
It turned out to be a time to rethink their strategy, as Kune resumed operations with more hires. The company began building a factory with the capacity to cook and package 5,000 meals daily. Kune was ready to raise, and investors took notice.
Two months later, with a million-dollar check in hand, Kune is one of the first non-fintech startups in the African tech ecosystem to raise a seven-figure pre-seed.
This funding will be used to internalise all production and human resources capacities, including hiring more team members, completing the factory building, and launching officially in August.
Launch Africa's Director of Operation, Baljinder Sharma, believes that having complete autonomy over their supply chain will provide massive growth and scaling opportunity for the startup; hence plans include owning a fleet of 100 electric motorcycles and hiring 100 female riders by 2022.
Reetch also revealed plans to create a food media company where Kenyans will be kept up-to-speed with the global food scene and export African foods to Europe and the US by creating weight-reduction, retail, and microwaveable meal offerings.
The aim is to be the go-to for quality, freshly-made and affordable ready-to-eat meal delivery service and be a number one culinary major. With Kune anticipating a fast growth rate, we just might have more founders looking into Africa's foodtech space.

1. Place ingredients in a food processor & blend until a crumbly dough ball forms. If a dough ball doesn't form, add in 1 tsp of water or agave nectar.
2. Pinch off a piece of dough & roll into a ball & then flatten it into an egg shape.
3. Place "egg" on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all of the dough has been shaped.
4. Place cookie sheet in freezer & then mix up the pink shredded coconut & chocolate sauce.
Place shredded coconut in a small bowl. Grate a little piece of a beet & drop a little beet juice or a beet shred in with the coconut & mix it up until it turns pink. Set aside.
1. Place ingredients in a small bowl & whisk together until smooth & creamy.
ASSEMBLY: Remove dough "eggs" from the freezer & dip each egg into the bowl of chocolate with a fork or spoon. Place egg back on parchement lined cookie sheet & sprinkle with pink shredded coconut. Repeat until until all eggs have been dipped & place them back in the freezer to set. If you have any chocolate sauce left over, pour it into chocolate molds or onto some parchment paper, edges folded up, & freeze. These treats can be stored in the freezer or the fridge. Enjoy!

Q: .Net numbers formatting I've gone over all the numbers formatting options of .Net framework ,
and I cannot find the formatting I need.
I have a float variable for which I
need a format string ( not code ) which does the following :
If value = 1500.00 the formatted string will be : 1,500 ( and not 1,500.00 )
If value = 1500.53 the formatted string will be : 1,500.53
If value = 0.53 the formatted string will be : 0.53
So that the "n" and "N0" formats do not do the trick for me,
since "n" always adds ".00" if the value is whole number
because "n" it's for float numbers,
and  "N0" round the number to whole number even if the value is not a whole number (1500.53)
I need this as a string since I use the formatting in
ASPXGridView (devexpress control)  columns - DisplayFormatString attribute
Anyone can help ?
Thanks
Another thing : the number of digits after the . can vary .. for example can be :
1500.53536

A: I don't have Visual Studio available right now to test it, but after reading the documentation I'm pretty sure that the following should work:
#,##0.##

EDIT: If your numbers can have more than 2 decimal places, just add an appropriate number of #s after the dot, e.g.:
#,##0.##############

# means: digit or empty, whereas 0 means: digit or 0. Thus, the example given will display only as many digits after the decimal point as necessary (but at most the number of #s).

A: Something like "###,##0.##" then?

A: Look at custom numeric format strings. I think you want something like this: "##,#.##".

'My Missing Valentine' wins big at Golden Horse Awards
National HillNovember 21, 20207
ABC Entertainment:
The Taiwanese film "My Missing Valentine" has won big at the annual Golden Horse Awards, taking five honors, including best feature film
By HUIZHONG WU Associated Press
TAIPEI, Taiwan — The Taiwanese film "My Missing Valentine" won big Saturday night at the annual Golden Horse Awards, taking five honors, including best feature film.
The romantic comedy, which tells the love story of a bus driver and a post office worker, also won for best director, best visual effects, best film editing and best original screenplay.
Overall, Taiwanese talent enjoyed a big night at the Golden Horse Awards, considered Asia's equivalent of the Academy Awards for Chinese-language films.
Taiwanese performers took home honors for best actor and best actress. Mo Tzu-yi won best actor for his role in "Dear Tenant," while Chen Shu-fang won best actress for "Little Big Women."
Malaysia's Chong Keat-aun won the award for best new director for "The Story of Southern Islet." Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien won the lifetime achievement award.
Even as the coronavirus pandemic has shut cinemas around the globe, actors, directors and others managed to walk the red carpet ahead of the ceremony in Taipei, Taiwan's capital. Taiwan has recorded only 611 cases of the coronavirus and just seven deaths.
"It is not easy. Look at what is happened around the world," said director Ang Lee, the chairman of the competition. "I have just come back from New York. Theaters are closed over there. I am deeply touched that Taiwan's box office revenue still keeps growing."
For the second straight year, mainland Chinese talent did not participate in the competition, with Beijing banning its artists from participating amid tensions between China and Taiwan. Taiwan split off from the mainland after the 1949 civil war, but China still claims the island as part of its territory.
Those tensions have played out at the Golden Horse Awards. In 2018, documentary director Fu Yue called on the world to recognize Taiwan as an independent country in an acceptance speech at the awards ceremony, something only a handful of nations currently do.
In response, Chinese participants refused to appear onstage, made pointed remarks about Taiwan and China being members of the same family, and then declined to attend the banquet reception following the show.
China holds its own film awards, called the Golden Rooster, which are subject to government ideological constraints and censorship.

I'm reading page proofs for "Damned Yankee" this weekend and into the first part of nex week, so you won't be hearing a great deal from me. However, here are a couple of articles that you may find interesting. They appear on my curated ScoopIt pages, but you can also find them from their titles.
Does Your Cat Sleep on Your Computer?
Earlier today, I read a lament by a good friend who had suddenly discovered that her backspace key no longer worked. What could be wrong? The answer, she found, was something like three million cat hairs that had collected around the key. I was sympathetic because the same thing happens around Katzenhaus Books, where five cats take turns causing havoc on my desk.
Then I spent some time reading other Facebook posts and discovered this little gem! The article is such a favorite that I'm featuring it all by itself on one of my curated ScoopIt pages.
On "The Historian's Point of View: The Experiences of the Past, Seen through Current Events, " I collect articles about the craft of history -- new discoveries, new methods, new controversies.
This story was such a hit last February that it well-deserves re-publication. Every cat-owning writer will recognize the dangers and the warnings included here.

Physical Therapist Assistant Kaitlynn graduated from Green River Community College with an Associate's Degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant in June 2017. Before beginning her career with OrthoSport, she worked as a travel PTA, which she says was very fun and challenging.
She is from a small town in Eastern Washington that she returns to each year to help help her father with farm cherries. Through that experience, she learned a lot about work ethic. She is very passionate about working with patients of all types. Athletes in particular are her favorites, as she has participated in sports since she was 8 years old. That being said, she obtained her fair share of injuries and became good friends with her physical therapist in high school. She became a PTA because she wanted to help people in the same way that her PT had helped her over the years. In her free time, Kaitlynn likes hiking, rock climbing, farming, visiting family, and exploring Seattle with her sister.

Rossville, GA – Copper thieves vandalized an industrial transformer at the Coats American building prompting an emergency response Sunday night. The incident began after a resident noticed an oily sheen and notified a Rossville police officer, who traced the source to the Coats building on Maple Street.
Walker County Emergency Services (WCES) responded around 7:15 p.m. and discovered a transformer inside the building had been vandalized in order to steal copper. The transformer was labeled PCB, meaning oil inside the unit likely contained polychlorinated biphenyl, a chemical used for electrical insulation. The vandalism resulted in an oil spill.
Walker County notified Georgia EPD and their counterpart in Tennessee. Chattanooga Hazmat also responded and confirmed the presence of PCB in the oil. SRT Safety, an environmental clean-up company, was brought in to contain the oil that spilled from the transformer.
SRT contained the oil to an onsite containment area at the Coats property and placed booms along a half mile stretch from Williams Street Tributary to State Line Road to absorb any residual oil that made it into the storm water. The oil that leaked beyond the Coats property is believed to be small, similar to the amount of residual oil that would run off from a big box store parking lot during a rain shower.
WCES and SRT continue to coordinate with Georgia EPD and the EPA, following their guidelines for containment and cleanup.
Anyone with information concerning this crime should contact the Rossville Police Department or Walker County Sheriff's Office. The thieves left behind a bag filled with copper and some tools. A reward of $1,000 is being offered by Walker County Government for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.


Lately I have been admiring the open shelving that I have seen in different kitchens. I just didn't think it would work in mine. Well, Friday I found myself in a mood, and when I get in a mood, the only thing that calms my nerves is some kind of project. I was had shown Matt the picture of Home Stories A to Z's gorgeous open cabinet display, and told him I wanted something similar. He said, "Go for it!" So, I did.
I started with just one…the one on the right. I took the cabinet doors off and sealed the holes with wood filler, then I took the shelving out. I decided to paint the shelves white and the background aqua.
I already had a sample from Lowe's, which was more than enough paint. It took two coats on each the shelves and the inside of the cabinet. I am extremely impatient, so I dried each with a hairdryer in between coats to speed up the process.
As soon as they were dry enough, I popped the shelves back in and started dressing them up. I wanted beachy tones…white, aqua, silver and light lime green. So, I started poking around the house trying to find things that would fit my scheme.
By Saturday morning, I was itching to open the cabinet that was on the other side of the sink. The only problem was my dishes. I have been living with a mish mash of red dishes for the past few years, and they just wouldn't do. I finally had an excuse to buy new white dishes! Let me say now, I don't just wake up and decide to buy dishes…this is something we have been talking about for a while…or something I have been complaining about for a while. I scouted out a few stores, and found nothing I liked. A friend had told me that she saw some cute white iron stone-like dishes at Walmart, so in a last ditch effort, I tried there. You know what? They had just what I was looking for! I was a little shocked. I bought two sets of 16 for $50. Then we made a trip to Lowe's where I spent another $3 on another paint sample to paint the left cabinet.
I feel like my chalkboard menu stands out a little more now!
I love the way they turned out, and opening up those two cabinets gave our kitchen an entirely new look. It doesn't hurt that including dishes it only cost $53 for the update!
Next week, I am painting the countertops to finish it off, and I cannot wait!
I feel like it is all finally coming together!
It feels like it was only yesterday that I revealed my White Painted Kitchen Cabinets.
There is a new update to be seen! I just painted my countertops…yep, you read right…my countertops have been painted to look like granite.
Congratulations and your cabinets look beautiful – I love, love, love that aqua colour!!
Love the open cabinets!!! Congrats on your new adventure!
Love the open cabinets and what great color. Congrats to your new venture.

OMG I love it! That aqua color is perfect against the white cabinets. I'm so jealous. I took the doors off a few of my cabinets but had to paint them white because I have an ugly green countertop that would look horrible with aqua. Can't wait to see your painted counters – I want to paint mine so bad but am afraid the paint will peel off. Your kitchen looks amazing!
Love how your kitchen looks with the open cabinets and the pop of turquoise! So pretty and fresh! I have an open cabinet with white dishes too but I'm still deciding how to finish the back. I like how you just went for it!!!

Congrats! And I LOVE the cabinets! That turned out so well – great job!!
OMG! What a difference it made to take off your doors and paint the inside with that gorgeous color! I am so amazed that you had so many green and aqua items to place on the shelves! You really hit a homerun with this as well as on T&J!
Your cabinets look great. I'm anxious to see your countertops and how you do them. I'm wanting to do mine.
Cute! I love that bright teal on the back of your cabinets. I took a door off too, just to dip my toe in the water a little bit and see if I could hack the new trend. You know what? I'm likin' it! I threw baskets in my shelves and now my vitamins are within easy reach and I still get the "open concept" (but with all my junk hidden in the baskets). Congrats on your TT&J news!
Absolutely GORGEOUS Jess! love love love love love it!
love the open shelving and the bold pop of color. good for you!
I love the bold color choice for the background. And congrats on the tt&j contributing position! I'm so excited for you my friend! And so well-deserved!
This is the most beautiful kitchen redo I've seen in a long time, the colors are so what I would love in my home.

That looks absolutely amazing. I love the aqua and open shelves. I would love for you to come and share this at my Winter Blues Wednesday party going on right now. Hope to see you there.
Hi Jessica…. found my way here from Savvy Southern Style.
I love the open cabinets. I have almost an identical layout in my kitchen and wondered how it would look if I opened up two of my cabinets, since the one on the right has 2 doors and the one on the left has only one. After seeing yours, I'm going to go for it!
Also…. I'm gearing up to paint my cabinets and I love the sounds of the Nuvo system. May I ask how your cabinets are holding up? Is the paint wearing well and are you happy with it?
Nice touch. It just looks great! Good luck with the countertops.
I just love what you did with the cabinets!
You did a fabulous job. Love it, love it, love it!
I LOVE that color combination! If my kitchen looked like that I would cook all the time. Also, congrats on becoming a contributor to Tatertots and Jello! That blog is one of my favorites as well.
I host a link party every Thursday – I'd love you have you join and share this.
It take that kind of bravery to make cool things happen. The changes are dramatic and so fun!
Wow! These cabinets look awesome! I can't believe it only cost you $53 for such a huge impact! Great job!
These look great! LOVE the pop of blue!!
Great change! Just a word of warning. I hate to be a kill-joy, but latex paint takes up to a month to cure. Especially in cooler weather. I've made the mistake in the past to put things back on shelves, before the paint had completely dried, and wish I hadn't. Cheers!
as you did and now I have the motivation..
Wow! Great update! I love that you used a blow dryer in between coats – that's one of my moves, too.
Love how this turned out!! I did my pantry with a different color back wall. Never thought of this!!
Stopping by from Happy Hour!
I guess I had better go check out Tatertots and Jello – 2 words I never thought I would type together.
I want to do something similar, but I haven't had the nerve. I guess I just need to go for it.
Wow–love what you are doing with your kitchen! The open cabinets look fantastic–I love the color you used on the inside. Looking forward to seeing what you do on your counters!
Your open shelves are beautiful! I'm so glad you took the risk because it looks really great, adds the perfect pop of color and it looks so good against the white. And yay! Congrats on being a TT&J contributor!!!
Wow this looks amazing and so fun and cheery. What a great place to hang out and cook in your kitchen. Enjoy the fun new update!
THat is just beautiful! I came over from Savvy Southern Style cause I just had to pin this!
Un lavoro fantastico,ora la tua cucina ha una luce meravigliosa!
Love the aqu a n the background. You are daring to open your cabinets like that. I could nt do that in my kitchen.
I haven't been able to actually comment on this, and now, that I can I have to say I'm totally IN LOVE! Your da bomity-bomb, girl!
Jessica, these open cabinets are really sweet looking! I love the bold aqua you chose to use. It really brightens up your kitchen. Nice job!
I love the colors and how it all works together. I am a new follower and look forward to seeing more. I wanted to do that with mine but hubby wasn't having it. Might eventually do a glass type door but we will have to wait and see.
How did you hang your cups under you cabinet? Love that!
Hi, Kristina! I used cup hooks that screw into the wall. You can get them anywhere for about $3 for a pack of 10. Have a fabulous day!
I love what you did in your kitchen. It's so bright and cheery! Everything came together so beautiful!!
I love this aqua color! Can you share what brand/color it is? Excited to try this!
Can you tell me the color paint that you used for the cabinets at Lowes?

Remote St Helena
South Africa, St Helena - Trip code BSH Beyond
'Isolation' is the word most synonymous with this remote and rugged British outpost marooned in the middle of the South Atlantic. Such is its remoteness, almost equidistant between Brazil and Angola, St Helena was chosen as the place of exile for its most famous resident - Napoleon Bonaparte. Taking advantage of a newly-built airport, this trip explores the far-flung wilds of the UK's second-oldest overseas territory. Well-placed for the former East India Company shipping routes, the island has a rich history, rugged windswept coastlines and a forested interior home to endemic flora and fauna. Small towns dot the island and the welcome received from the 4,000 'saints' that live here is legendary.
Breakfast: 9
Local Guide(s)
bsh-2019
Day 1 - Arrive in Johannesburg and drive to hotel. Afternoon tour of Soweto
We begin our trip in Johannesburg, the largest city in South Africa. After meeting our Explore leader and fellow group members we spend the afternoon in Soweto, the huge township on the outskirts of Johannesburg where 40% of the city's inhabitants live. Soweto, originally an acronym for South Western Townships, played a prominent part in the fight against the former apartheid regime, notable the Soweto Uprising of 1976; when mass protests erupted and the government shot at the crowd, killing many innocent protestors. We will take a tour of the township and meet local people to understand how life has changed since the end of apartheid. We will visit the Hector Pieterson Memorial, a museum that honours the vital role that the youth of South Africa played in the struggle. Hector Pieterson was one of the first students to be killed during the uprising when he was just 13. We will also visit the Mandela House Museum, situated in Nelson Mandela's former home which tells the story of Mandela and his family.
Aero Guest Lodge (or similar)
Day 2 - Morning flight to St Helena. Afternoon orientation of Jamestown
We will transfer back to the airport this morning for our flight to St Helena.
The idea to build an airport on St Helena came to fruition in 2010, where the British Government invested £285 million pounds of public money to fund the building project. At that time the only way to get on and off the island and transport produce was by ship, the 5-day journey to Cape Town aboard the RMS St Helena. The airport was set to start welcoming commercial flights in 2016, but the project was delayed due to windshear. Additional safety measures were put in place and on the 14th October 2017 St Helena welcomed its inaugural flight - the SA Airlink Embraer running a weekly service from Johannesburg. It is hoped that this flight will boost the tourism industry, providing vital jobs and a source of additional income, as well as increasing the ability to transport provisions to the remote island.
Upon arrival into St Helena we will make the short drive to Jamestown, the island's capital and our base for the week.
This afternoon we set off for a gentle stroll around lower Jamestown to orient ourselves and as an introduction to the island and its people. We will stop by the Castle, St James Church (the oldest Anglican Church in the Southern Hemisphere) and see Jacob's Ladder - a 699 step pathway that climbs steeply out of the valley Jamestown sits within. The afternoon ends with a telling reminder that we are in a British Overseas Territory, with a nice of cup of tea!
Mantis St Helena (or similar)
Day 3 - Full day exploring the main sights of St Helena, including St Paul's Cathedral and Ladder Hill Fort
Completely un-inhabited until 1502 when it was discovered by the Portuguese, the volcanic island of St Helena was established as a British territory in the 1600's to serve as a stop off on the main East India Company shipping routes. Aside from a very short-lived occupation by the Dutch, the island has remained under British rule for over 350 years. Its isolated location leant itself as an ideal detention centre for some of the British empire's most-feared enemies, including Zulu warriors, several thousand Boers from the Boer War and of course the island's most famous captive, Napoleon Bonaparte.
British colonial influence is evident everywhere on the island, and today we set off to explore some of St Helena's main sights. We start at St Paul's Cathedral, and with a capacity of 450 people it is rather smaller than its London name-sake, but is a charming church serving the local community. Moving on we visit the Boer Graves, a cemetery located in a peaceful wooded glen dedicated to the Boer prisoners that were shipped to the island during the Boer War. We stop for packed lunch in a scenic spot where the lush peaks loom over us.
We then visit SHAPE - a not-for-profit organisation that supports vulnerable adults and disabled people, where a variety of handicrafts are made from local and recycled materials. At Prince's Lodge we find a fascinating Castel collection of old prints and photographs, offering a window into the past of this British outpost, and depicting the many people that have visited here over the years. Here we break for afternoon tea. The day ends with a stop at Ladder Hill Fort, the old fort atop of Jacob's Ladder keeping watch over Jamestown in the valley below.
Meals Provided: Breakfast and Lunch
Day 4 - Morning boat trip seeing coastal fortifications and bird spotting. Afternoon tour to Rupert's Valley
Located in the middle of the South Atlantic, St Helena is one of the most remote islands on earth, some 1,900 kms from the coast of Angola to the east, and 2,800 kms off the coast of Brazil to its west. Its location in the sub- tropics provides ideal waters for a rich marine eco-system, and today we take to the waters around St Helena to discover this. We hope to spot a variety of marine birds today, such as the red-billed tropic bird, fairy terns and brown noddys, as well as seeing some of the early coastal fortifications put in place to see off foreign invaders. As we cruise the western coast of the island, there is a good chance to spot dolphins playing in the water, as numerous pan-tropical dolphins swim in these waters, as well as small numbers of bottlenose and rough-toothed dolphins.
This afternoon we visit Rupert's Valley, known for its coastal fortification and links to the slave trade. In 1833 the British Empire abolished slavery, but at that time it still existed in the United States of America. In an effort to supress the trans-Atlantic slave trade, a naval station was deployed on St Helena and many ships were subsequently intercepted, with thousands of liberated slaves being brought to the island to recover. Sadly the conditions on the ships were so appalling that many were already dead, or dying when they were rescued, so Rupert's Bay is now the site of mass graves. It is estimated that St Helena liberated nearly 25,000 slaves, some of whom decided to stay on the island to work and make a life in St Helena.
Day 5 - Morning visit to Plantation House, afternoon walk along western St Helena
The official home of the Governor of St Helena, Plantation House is a beautiful 18th Century mansion. Built in the style of a colonial summer house, its sashed and shuttered windows look out onto extensive gardens habituated by Jonathan the roaming tortoise, and its 24 rooms contain a wealth of period furniture, memorabilia and a considerable amount of history from over the years. We spend time exploring this former governor's residence with the house's expert guide.
This afternoon we set off west, stopping for a packed lunch en-route. Our afternoon walk hugs the coastline along the peaceful and isolated western part of the island, and ends at the South West Point looking out to Speary Island and the vast South Atlantic Ocean beyond. The walk will be a total of 8kms, which we anticipate to take us around four hours over gently undulating terrain.
Day 6 - Morning exploring the eastern side, including Deadwood Plain. Afternoon visit to High Knoll Fort
This morning we drive out to Deadwood Plain, the site of one of the largest Boer camps on island. From 1900-1902, St Helena was selected to host nearly 6,000 Boer prisoners of war. Many of these were based in large encampments on Deadwood Plain, although once they were established many were given jobs around the island, with some of them even moving in with the locals to act as servants and maids!
Deadwood Plain is also the main habitat of the island's only endemic land bird, the St Helena Plover, or 'Wirebird' as it is known locally. Prior to human occupation St Helena was home to 9 endemic birds, but since goats and other outsiders were brought to the island, many of the endemic plants and wildlife were wiped out, with the endangered Wirebird the only unique land species left. We drive across the plain where there will be a very good chance of spotting the bird with the help of our National Trust guide.
During the late 18th and early 19th Century, St Helena became a site for a series of conservational experimentation, with extensive reforestation of endemic plants, and attempts were made to boost rainfall artificially. This intervention has been closely linked with establishing the roots of environmentalism, and this afternoon we visit Millennium Forest, where trees are being planted to re-establish an ancient forest. Here, we join the cause and have the opportunity to plant a tree of our own, personally helping to revive St Helena's ancient forests.
After lunch we visit High Knoll Fort, the largest military installation on St Helena, and at 584 metres it is a prominent feature as you travel around the island. The fort is substantial in size with wells, living quarters, stables and of course, a number of gun emplacements. Ironically, the fort never had the chance to fulfil its purpose as since its construction St Helena was never invaded. Aside from housing some of the more unruly Boer War prisoners, it has remained unused, acting only as a deterrent, and now, a place of interest.
Day 7 - Morning walk in the central peaks with lunch at Ladder Hill. Afternoon free.
This morning we set off for a walk to 'Central Peak', located in the island's lush forested interior. There is a good opportunity to spot some of the island's endemic plants, such as cabbage trees, tree ferns, and we hope to see the tiny blushing snail, found only on St Helena and the Ascension Islands. We climb up to the highest point on the island(823 metres), and if the weather is clear we will experience sweeping views of the island below, with most of the landmarks visible from the peak. Please note some sections of this walk are fairly steep, and the terrain can be slippery if wet or misty. The walk is around five kilometres in length, and we anticipate it to take around four hours.
We end the walk with lunch at Ladder Hill. The rest of the afternoon is free to relax or further explore the island.
Day 8 - Morning discovering Napoleonic sites including his original tomb. Afternoon free to visit Jamestown museum.
After his defeat in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, St Helena was chosen as the place of exile for Napoleon Bonaparte, appearing a much more isolated location than the Isle of Elba, from which he escaped from one year previous. He arrived on the island later that year, and lived out his final years on the island, dying in 1821 at the age of 51. He spent his first few months at Briar's Pavilion, before moving into Longwood house where he remained until his death. It was Napoleon's wish that his remains be brought back to France to be buried on the banks of the Seine, but this was refused, with the-then Governor stating that he should be buried in the Valley of the Willows, St Helena. In 1840 however, the French obtained permission from the British government to return Napoleon's remains to France, where they now rest in Les Invalides, Paris.
This morning we immerse ourselves in the fascinating last years of the great Emperor's life, visiting both of his residences and his tomb in the peaceful Valley of the Willows.
This afternoon has been left free to explore Jamestown, a visit to the Jamestown museum is highly recommended. The museum does an excellent job in charting St Helena's 300+ year history with its collection of informative and visual displays.
Day 9 - Free morning in Jamestown before flying to Johannesburg. Check-in to hotel.
After a leisurely morning we make our way to the airport for our return flight to Johannesburg, transiting via Windhoek. We'll check into our hotel in Johannesburg, where the rest of the evening is free after the long day of travelling.
Day 10 - Free day in Johannesburg with late afternoon transfer to airport. Trip ends in Johannesburg
Today has been left free in Johannesburg.
This morning there is the option to visit the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. This 47,000 hectare site is the world's richest hominin site, home to around 40% of the world's ancestor fossils. Here we learn the stories of how humankind has developed into the complex species we are today, with this site dating back over 3 million years. We will also visit the Sterkfontein caves, credited with many important discoveries including ancient stone tools and the remains of of a 2.3 million year old fossil nicknamed 'Mrs Ples'. The trip ends in Johannesburg later this afternoon
Mild throughout the year and can thus be visited year round. The Western Cape has a Mediterranean-type climate, with warm, dry summers and cold winters with rainfall. Summer runs from November to March, with temperatures averaging 22oC to 34oC. The months of April and October are generally warm and sunny. Winter is also a good time to visit as towns and sites are not so crowded and the countryside is more verdant, but it can be cold. Seasonal weather patterns can be unpredictable.
Afrikaans, English
St Helena sits in the sub-tropics but the climate is tempered by the South-Easterly trade winds which blow throughout the year. Temperatures in Jamestown hover between 21-28 degrees centigrade year round, but temperatures in the more exposed central and southern parts of the island are often five or six degrees lower.
3 Pin Flat (British standard)
Cradle of Humankind (Johannesburg) - 1150 South African Rand
A light raincoat is recommended, along with trail shoes or walking boots for the various walks on the island, as the terrain can be slippery when wet. The temperate generally hovers around 20-25 degrees centigrade but it can drop at night, so a fleece or jumper is advisable. Whilst there are no beaches, there may be opportunities to swim on the boat trips so packing swimwear is recommend.
Trail shoes or walking boots are recommend for the walks.
One main piece of luggage and a daypack. Remember you are expected to carry your own baggage so don't overload yourself.
We recommend you bring a sunhat and sunscreen as the sun can be strong. A water bottle is essential. A torch, travel towel and an umbrella may come in useful. You may wish to consider walking poles for the various walks avaialble on the island.
Tipping isn't compulsory, and we work hard to ensure that our leaders all receive a fair wage. However, you might want to recognise a leader that's done a great job or really added to your trip by giving them a tip. We're often asked about the recommended amount. It's a tricky one, and down to personal preference, but we'd recommend between £15 to £20 per person per week as a guideline.
Although entirely voluntary, tipping is a recognized part of life in this region of the world. Some local staff will look to members of the group for personal recognition of particular services provided. In order to make things easier for you, your leader may organise a group's tips kitty for included activities and meals and if this is the case, they will account for it throughout the tour.
Accordingly, you should allow £30.00 per person for group tipping.

Take your money in a combination of cash and an ATM card. Both GBP and USD are readily exchanged at the airport.

Credit and debit cards are accepted in a few of the restaurants and outlets, but shouldn't be relied upon.

Welcome to the Audiophile Club of Athens!
θα έχει το CD τη μοίρα του βινυλίου???
ACA is a registered non-profit organization dedicated to music and its most accurate reproduction. It was founded in Athens-Greece (May 1998) by a team of enthusiasts who were seeking their personal "Nirvana" by searching and listening to the highest quality recordings and music, played on equipment which could bring life to recordings that otherwise could not be fully appreciated as such.
High End Audio is about how well music is reproduced. It is a common misconception that the term high-end is a synonym to high-priced. Well, exceptional things have their price - but when WE hear high-end we always think of high performance!
According to Wikipedia, the word music derives from the Ancient Greek word μουσική (mousike), meaning the art of Muses, the nine goddesses who inspire the creation of literature and arts. Regardless of its root, we think of music as the unspoken language of the human soul.
Light Jazz, easy or Lounge, all but nice music!!
We like to gather info and learn from each other, exchange ideas and share our musical findings. We publish our systems and meet at our homes in turn, where everyone has a chance to listen and judge for himself. Things like that make our society so bonded and unique.
