Ever since its creation, Maison Courbet has disrupted the jewelry industry by offering high-end jewellery made with lab-grown diamonds and recycled gold. This choice is anchored in today's reality where ecology is of urgent priority.
Because France had never lab-grown diamonds before, Courbet has had to turn to international suppliers. Now, however, change has come.
Manuel Mallen and Marie-Ann Wachtmeister, founders of Courbet, have decided to establish a lasting relationship with Alix Gicquel, a scientist whose laboratory lies within the CNRS and who has dedicated her life to studying diamonds.
With this Made in France diamond, Courbet takes a quantum leap with its high jewellery, from the heart of traditions to the future of science, all of which in the service of sustainability.
Despite her hard work, Alix Gicquel, a scientist whose laboratory lies within the CNRS, has had to face the challenge set by the culture of a diamond. This is why, unlike the diamonds of the other collections, those of the Pont des Arts collection are not systematically diamonds of color D, E or F. The creation of this gemstone preserves the mystery and the uncertainty of the result makes each piece a unique and limited creation.
The Pont des Arts collection was designed by Marie-Ann Wachtmeister.
It refers to the well-known Pont des Arts in Paris, where lovers have been attaching locks as a testimony of love for years.
The shank, the bangle and the creoles all play with the same distinctive criss-cross as that found in the railing of the bridge. The back of the padlock, reveals an opening in the shape of an Eiffel Tower that lets the light shine through to give the diamond an extra sparkle.
On each side of it, couples can have their initials engraved. An ode to France, to Paris and to love.
The C and the O, as a leitmotiv.
The first two letters of Courbet are a C and an O. Two letters that, combined, convey togetherness in words such as cohesion, cooperation, connection...
The lock of the Pont des Arts collection recreates the symbolic CO of Courbet that can also be found, in multiple forms, in most of every jewellery collection of the Maison.

Due to some understandable reasons, many companies are cautious when they are looking for commercial roofing contractors since you would end up spending more money that the budgeted amount if you select one who is not experienced enough. Whether you want to paint, repair or replace commercial industry roofing, you should term it as one of the major capital expenses. You should ensure that roofing is done properly and that it doesn't go beyond the purposed amount of money during the first time so that you don't end up spending more money for its repair or being damaged after a short duration.
For you to get the best results for your expectations, you should hire commercial roofing contractors that can be relied upon regarding having a proven track record and who you are assured will do a good job. It is necessary that you choose an organisation from a list of roofing contractors who have proven to be committed in their work as they work professionally and excellently. It is important to make sure that the roofing contractor that you hire is a member of Masters Builders Association. You should ensure that you pick should be one who has a history and experience in working on different commercial and industrial roofing works and possess some documents to proof that.
The roofing company that you choose should be one that uses only the techniques and materials that have been tested and approved which are available in the market. The employees of the company that you select should be qualified in different areas such as the occupational workplace, health and safety and who go through training and testing now and then. A company that is licensed to handle and remove asbestos should be a better place to be hired. A company which is a professional in commercial roofing should have public liabilities cover for different areas such as asbestos insurance. If a roofing company is well qualified, it should be able to work with various types of roofing like concrete, metal asbestos, clay roof tiles among others and manage to put the roofing on a gradient or flat roof.
The companies that should be first considered are those are knowledgeable in the most recent technology because any mistake done would result in having more expenses later on. In the market, there are some roofing companies that already have an approval for some useful commercial roofing procedures which include restoration and repair, insulation and free durability in case of extended durability. The internet is the best place that you can get commercial roofing contractors although you should make sure that you contact some companies before you choose the most preferred.

Eyes on the Road: DOT forging ahead on rights-of-way for work on US 129
Park and Ride lot at Braselton crossroads to close
The Georgia Department of Transportation is moving forward on right-of-way acquisition for widening U.S. 129/Athens Highway to four lanes between Gillsville Highway in East Hall and the Pendergrass Bypass in Jackson County.
The DOT needs to buy 188 parcels for the 6.8-mile stretch and has closed on seven, said Teri Pope, spokeswoman at the DOT's district office, which sits off U.S. 129 and Gillsville Highway.
Negotiations are under way on 43 other properties, Pope said.
Right-of-way costs are estimated at $22.7 million. Construction is expected to cost $38.8 million, with work set to start in fiscal 2015, or between July 1, 2014, and June 30, 2015.
The project is considered a top priority for area officials, as the roadway carries a lot of commercial traffic.
U.S. 129 is now four lanes between Gillsville Highway and Interstate 985, so "this project completes the widening (of U.S. 129) from I-985 to Interstate 85 and from Gainesville to Athens," Pope said.
The project also is expected to make traveling between those destinations much safer.
It will call for "less hills and valleys and ... lessening the curves based on the speed design for the road," Pope said.
The road has been the site of many major wrecks over the years.
Last week, a 24-year-old Gainesville man, driving south in his Honda Civic, crossed into the northbound lane and struck a tractor-trailer truck just south of Wallace Road.
The car's driver died. The truck driver complained of injuries but was not taken to the hospital.
Park and Ride lot closing at Braselton crossroads Friday
A Park and Ride lot at the intersection of Ga. 211 and Ga. 124 in Braselton is slated to close Friday, Pope said.
Carpoolers are encouraged to use the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority's Park and Ride 925-space lot behind Walmart off Hamilton Mill Road.
The lot is in North Gwinnett, several miles from the Hall County line.
The old Park and Ride lot will become part of the rebuilt intersection of Ga. 211 and Ga. 124, Pope said.
The project, which is under way, involves right- and left-turn lanes on each leg of the intersection. Dual left-turn lanes will be built on Ga. 124 east toward Interstate 85 and on Ga. 211 south toward Braselton.
Two through lanes and sidewalks will be built for both state routes.
New signal equipment will be installed and allow traffic signals at the interstate ramps to be timed with the signal at the intersection of the routes, Pope said.
The project is costing $5.2 million and is expected to be finished April 30, 2013.
Utilities work forces section of Bark Camp Road to close
Work by the Gainesville Public Utilities Department is forcing the closing of Bark Camp Road between Kanaday Road and Bark Camp Drive, off Thompson Bridge Road in northwest Hall, officials have said.
The stretch of road was set to close to traffic Thursday and reopen March 9, according to the Hall County government website.
New light to be operational at Winder intersection Tuesday
A new traffic signal is set to be operational in Winder on Tuesday, if weather permits and testing goes well.
The new light is at the intersection of Ga. 211 and McNeal Road.
"Once the signal is operational, please use extra caution until you get familiar with the new signal location," said DOT District Traffic Engineer Brent Cook.
New DOT commissioner could be named Thursday afternoon
The State Transportation Board is expected to meet at noon Thursday in Atlanta to name a new commissioner.
A search committee has recommended Interim Commissioner Keith Golden for the post.
He would replace Vance C. Smith Jr., who resigned in September.

Discovering that Neil Innes has died is a depressing end to a year which hasn't exactly been joyful on the news front. Not many departures elicit words and thoughts from me, and it says something that Neil Innes is one of the rare exceptions.
I first heard of him as a kid when I kept hearing "I'm The Urban Spaceman" on the radio by The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. I then saw "Monty Python Live at The Hollywood Bowl" where he performed a breakneck version of that song as "Karl Weetabix" (with Carol Cleveland prancing about as "Rita") and the ponderous "How Sweet To Be An Idiot". Then to make things even more bizarre, he was regularly on kids TV in some show called "Puddle Lane" playing some Wizard type character. It was obvious to this kid that Neil Innes had a curious career. I was 16 when I had some disposable cash and bought the CD "The Bestiary Of The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band" and… well… I was an instant fan, thoroughly enjoying these bizarre songs which opened up a new path to explore. Within a year I had their complete works alongside the album and VHS of "The Rutles", all of which I digested thoroughly.
In the Bonzos, it was clear there were three very odd opposing sides to the band. There was Vivian Stanshall… an extraordinary eccentric, waxing lyrical about poodles, pink halves of drainpipes etc who was a wickedly funny frontman. Then there was Roger Ruskin Spear, a madcap professor type running amok and letting his home made robots loose on stage all the while hankering to keep the band's 1920's influences alive as they steered more into a rock direction. And then there was Neil Innes. Not all of his songs were funny, but they sure were melodic and some suggested he was the Paul McCartney of the band. The Bonzos were a force of nature during their short lifespan and whilst humour does tend to date and some of their references are now obscure, they still amuse me to this day. Their records were one thing… on stage and television they were an absolute treat. The Beatles loved them to the degree they were given a cameo in "Magical Mystery Tour" then McCartney produced their sole hit single… George Harrison was good friends with Innes and drummer "Legs" Larry Smith.
Their residency on the kids TV show "Do Not Adjust Their Set" ensured that Innes became friends with Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin and a few years later was hired to act as a warm up guy for tapings of the Monty Python BBC television shows. That led to work on their "Holy Grail" movie and their illfated 4th BBC series. Through Idle's post-Python series "Rutland Weekend Television" came The Rutles. Innes was given the role of Ron Nasty which he played to comical effect but above all, he was tasked with writing and recording the music. The results were astonishing as he lovingly pastiched The Beatles across all their eras turning in impressive Beatle-like songs which were so good and convincing he was unfairly accused of plagiarism and thanks to legalities never received royalties for his work in spite of George Harrison and John Lennon giving The Rutles the big thumbs up.
Always looking for ways to make ends meet and earn an income, Innes wrote a few educational textbooks which I understand were based around the world of finances. He recorded various solo albums, participated in a few TV shows as well as hosting two series of "The Innes Book Of Records" for the BBC which showcased his many talents. A few years ago when somebody posted the Bonzos' first ever TV appearance which was on an edition of the kids show "Blue Peter" in February 1966, Innes was the first to comment, admitting it was not only the first time he'd ever seen the performance but also stated it was never transmitted as it was pre-recorded the afternoon of the live transmission, the band sat down to watch the show and they were hugely crushed to see they were not featured. He believed that Vivian Stanshall picking his nose during a close up was the probable reason they weren't featured.
I definitely didn't always agree with him on his views as he was extremely vocal and critical about many things and was vehemently anti-Brexit. He often expressed the opinion that the Bonzo's final album "Let's Make Up And Be Friendly" was their finest… for me, it was their weakest, essentially being a ragbag of solo items with a handful of cameos dubbed on top by other members. It was nothing more than a contractual obligation they reluctantly complied with and it still sounds like it. Their finest album for me was the last one before their original split "Keynsham" – not as wayward as the three albums preceding it, imbued with a darker edge but full of fascinating songs with Innes turning in a few great items notably the title track and my personal fave "What Do You Do" which isn't remotely amusing and though vague and flippant, it's just a song I always enjoy listening to. Might do a cover of it one of these days.
I got to see him live on June 3rd 2000 at the Everyman Theatre in Liverpool when he was touring a one man show called "Innes Own Words"… guitarist Andy Roberts guested on a handful of numbers. Unfortunately not many turned out to see the show, no more than 50 people which was a shame, but Innes burst onstage and gave it his all, sporting a grey Beatle moptop and starting off with his biggest hit at the end of which he ripped off the wig and began to regale us with amusing tales from his career. He recalled the Bonzos working at Abbey Road in 1966 whilst The Beatles were in the next studio and played a great version of "I Want To Tell You" which was the song he remembered hearing them recording. I took a few photos… the one above features him sporting the daft rubber duck head and this routine opened the second part of the show as he walked on, did some silly mimes then sat down and performed "How Sweet To Be An Idiot".
After the show, he made himself available in the bar for autographs and greets. First in line was some moron who had a large collection of vinyl and he wasn't gonna be happy until Innes signed ALL of them… he cheerfully obliged (it took 5 minutes) and then it was my turn. I handed him a piece of paper, a printout of the Bonzo's brief ditty "Kama Sutra". This amused him and he asked me where I'd gotten it. I pointed to the web address on the printout showing it was from his own site and he scribbled "To Baz, Safe Kama is best!"
There is still a fair amount of his recorded solo works I've never heard… he issued a whole load of discs over the years, many on small labels. It was nice to see him on a DVD chronicling the 2006 Bonzo Dog Band reunion playing many of the old classics. Kinda sad then that this last year of his life he was having to deal with farcical legal issues as some asshole faceless company "bought" the Bonzo's name which forbade Innes and all other ex-members from performing under the name they created back in the 1960's. They did win the case but the asshole company are lodging an appeal… Innes was set to perform at a reunion show in 2020 which I suspect will now end up being a tribute night to him.
I've had much amusement and pleasure from Neil's work. The Bonzos came along at the right moment for me as I was starting to explore music and songwriting and hearing how they injected many styles of music with nonsensical surrealist humour rubbed off on me enormously to the degree they became and remain a big influence on me as a writer, musician and performer.
Therefore Neil's passing is a very sad occasion for me and he'll certainly be much missed.

One of my favorite types of images to shoot is the silhouette. I always enjoy the creative aspects of trying to shape objects with light. Its interesting to see the little details that were initially overlooked show up with substance. Often times its these little things that polish the image: an open hand, backpack straps, fly line, the faint facial expressions. A simple image with a big imagination.


To date I've primarily been a ".NET developer"; which is to say that most of the code I've written for work or for fun has been C# or VB .NET running in a Windows environment. I've often wanted to work with other languages or platforms, but have stuck to what I know because it's paid the bills and I've always been able to find interesting things to work on in the .NET space. I have dabbled in some other stuff, but have typically found it difficult to overcome the inertia that's kept me tied to .NET on Windows. I've recently come to realize that a lot of this inertia is rooted in the in the sheer number of ancillary things that you tend to need to learn when you want to experiment with a new language or platform.
For example, if I wanted to learn about writing iOS apps in Objective-C I'd probably need to pick up OS X, XCode, Cocoa, and Objective-C. Basically, I'd need to pick up an entirely new technology stack to work this way and that is a very daunting proposition to me. If I wanted to pick up, say, Ruby, I'd be in slightly better shape because Ruby already runs on Windows, but I'd still need to pick an editor or IDE to work with and learn its quirks to find a good "code-test-run-repeat" cadence. I'm certain that I could get it all figured out if I really had to (e.g. if my job required it), but in the limited spare time I have for "software-related side projects" (which, in addition to learning new languages, includes blogging, contributing to open source, reading technical books, etc.) I simply can't find enough uninterrupted time to wrap my head around more than one of those things at a time. To me it's very suiting that the word "experiment" often gets used when referring to learning something new because, just like any experiment, there can be many variables at play: operating system, editor/IDE, framework, environment, etc. I'm not opposed to learning about new operating systems, frameworks, or IDEs, but I've found that I'm far more likely to be successful at learning something new if I can limit those variables and try to learn one new thing at a time.
Visual Studio is a crutch. Visual Studio is a terribly large and sometimes awkward crutch. Most of the time it works and lets me write, compile, run, and debug code with great ease, but sometimes it slips and lets me fall on the pavement. Nonetheless, it's "the devil I know", and I do like using it for the most part. I've been very excited recently by the recent releases of things like Python Tools for Visual Studio and Node.js Tools for Visual Studio. Being able to use Visual Studio to play around with Python or Node.js makes them a lot more approachable for me and lets me focus on on learning the ins and outs of those languages and platforms themselves in an IDE and operating environment that I'm already familiar with. After downloading the Python tools a little while back I finally sat down and hacked out a short Python script that did more than just "hello world" and found it immensely satisfying. Being able to pick up a new language and actually build something that is even the slightest bit useful to you is a great catalyst to continuing to work with that language and keeping it mind for projects down the road. Are are probably better editors or IDEs to use with Python and if I were to embark on a Python project of any significant size I'd probably bite the bullet and learn how write Python the "right way", but without being able to work with it in a familiar environment I would have never done anything useful with it at all.
My experiment with Python in Visual Studio went so well that I'm dabbling a bit with Node.js in Visual Studio as well. I've been interested in the Node.js project for awhile now, and have even put together the obligatory "hello world" app, but haven't really been able to go much further with it yet. I'm hoping that the Visual Studio tools for Node.js work as advertised and let me get my feet wet with that platform.


There are not many rules of etiquette that stretch across the world, but hiking etiquette is one of them. No matter where you are, people tend to abide by the same hiking rules, keeping the peace and helping everyone around them to stay safe.
Of course, you might not always meet other people on your treks, but when you do, it is important to know what to do and how to respond to the situation. Here's a lesson in Hiking Etiquette 101 to teach you the ways of the trail.
Below are the twelve rules of the trail, each of which is just as important as the last for a safe and enjoyable hiking trip. So, make sure you learn these well before you go off on your next hike.
This is the first rule of the trail, and it should always be followed. You see, bikers are often the fastest and can stop quickly, so it is only polite for them to let hikers pass first. Horses are the largest and also unpredictable, so everyone should stop and let them pass first. If it's bigger than you, let it go first!
On the wider paths, you should always stay to the right and pass on the left. If you are overtaking someone, along with ensuring you stay to the left, you should also alert them to your presence. Often, you will hear a cyclist or horse rider announce that they are on your left, so you know to stay on the right.
When you yield to others, always step off the trail so that they have the full path. It is polite and, in the case of horses, offers a wider space in case of sudden spooks or trouble. When you are hiking in a group, make sure to travel single file, or if you are on wider paths do not take up more than half.
When you come across other hikers, and you are in a group, you should yield to single and pair hikers. Sometimes, they will let you go first as there are more of you but it is common courtesy to offer them right of way.
If you are walking downhill and there are hikers walking uphill towards you, they should always be given the right of way. Walking uphill requires a lot more effort, and so it is only polite to let them pass first. Sometimes, they will let you pass first because they want to take a break, but it should always be the choice of the uphill walker to either let you go or pass you.

Most trails are very welcoming to dogs, but if they are not allowed, you will find a sign stating this. The best thing to do, however, is to research the place you wish to hike to check if dogs are allowed and what kind of restrictions are in place.
Quite a few trails will expect you to keep your dogs on the lead, for their safety and the safety of other hikers on the trail. It is important that you respect this if this is the case. You are also expected to pick up after them, it's not nice to come across faeces on a trail hike and picking it up is the polite thing to do.
In areas where your dog is allowed off the lead, make sure you are in control of them. If you are worried about them killing wildlife or causing general destruction, don't let them off the lead. When you come across horses, make sure the dog is on the lead in good time and that you make it sit off the trail (quietly) with you while they pass.
Dogs are very welcome on the trail, and the vast majority of people have no problems with them. Just make sure you stick to these basic etiquette rules for the best experience.
In this section, we will take a look at the etiquette for bikers and horse riders as well as hikers who come across them. Horse riders should keep their horses in walk at all times, or a trot at most. Cantering and galloping are not recommended as you do not know who you will come across on the trail and it can be difficult to stop in time.
A walk means that you and your horse can have a more relaxed journey, and the safety of walkers is not put at risk. A trot is generally acceptable in an area where you can see far ahead and will be able to stop in plenty of time when you spot a hiker.
For those who are hiking and come across horses, there are a couple of things you need to do to avoid accidents or spooking the horse. If you notice the horse coming uphill and you are at the top, stand back and out of its line of vision. To a horse, you look like a predator waiting to pounce at the top of the hill, and so standing at the top could spook it.
If you are already on the hill, step right off the trail to wait. If the horse is spooked it will bolt straight uphill and you do not want to be in the way of it. When the rider is about to pass, greet them in a calm and quiet voice before asking if you are ok where you are or if they need you to move. While the horse passes, remain completely quiet so that the atmosphere remains relaxed for the horse.
For cyclists, there is one main rule – don't go too fast. It's destructive to the trail, and it can cause injury to pedestrians if you are not able to stop in time. Plus, if you hit a rock at high speeds that could cause some serious injuries to your own body. Be polite to other hikers and give them good warning when you are coming up to overtake them. Don't whizz past without saying anything, as this is not fair for the hikers.
Children are welcome on trails, but it is important you ensure you follow these rules while they are walking. After all, while it is a fun activity for all ages, not every hiker will appreciate coming across rowdy children. Here are some of the things you should keep in mind when you take your kids hiking.
Generally speaking, the rules for adults apply to children. However, it is important to remember that it is preferred if you prevent your kids from running around and throwing things. Running, while a part of childhood, can be dangerous for them, as there are many roots and small stumps that could easily trip them up and cause an injury.
Throwing has a similar basis, but there is also the risk that rocks and sticks could cause injury to wildlife if they hit them. The trail is meant to be a place of calm and serenity, and so harming or disturbing the wildlife is hugely frowned upon. We know that most kids don't mean to hurt anything, but it's something that does happen, often by accident.
Stay together and don't let anyone wander off, it can be so easy for children to get lost if they wander off the path. Keeping everyone calm and occupied is useful as well, as other hikers want to enjoy the peace and tranquillity that comes with the trail, as opposed to screaming and excited noises. Take time to enjoy the outdoors and the serenity it offers as a family.
Of course, a parent knows their child and the needs of that child best, so there may be certain things that need to be implemented to keep them calm and polite on the trail. This is just general advice for bringing your kids hiking with you.
This is also known as Leave No Trace, and it is a widely-accepted rule when it comes to hiking. If you bring snacks and food with you, make sure you clean up after yourself and don't leave litter lying around. You go hiking to admire nature and get closer to it, not to leave rubbish and pollute the area. This is also known as the pack it, bring it rule. So, whatever you pack to take with you should also return home with you.
The only thing you should be leaving behind are footprints, and this is one of the most important etiquette points for those who are out hiking. So, if you are bringing food or a dog, make sure you have enough bags for rubbish and other forms of waste. It's unfortunate that so many hikers break this rule, which is all the more reason for you to stick with it.

Sometimes you will end up needing to use the bathroom, and there is nothing but wilderness around. When this happens, there is little choice but to use the surrounding area, and this is a perfectly acceptable thing to do. However, as with everything, there are a few things to remember.
The first is that you should relieve yourself away from the trail. It's good to go a good distance away so that people don't end up stepping in something unpleasant or smelling it. The other reason to leave the trail to answer the call of nature, is that you are far less likely to have a Duke of Edinburgh group stumble upon you. Trust me when I say it is both an awkward and hollowing moment.
If you find yourself in need of a leaf, make sure you know your leaves, and you don't end up using something poisonous. This happens more than you might think, and there is little worse than an itchy crotch area for the rest of your hike.
If you are the kind of person who is prepared enough to have toilet paper in their backpack, please bag the paper afterwards so that you can dispose of it when you reach the next bin. Used toilet paper still counts as littering and spoiling the area. Plus, the wildlife doesn't appreciate it.
Be respectful of other hikers, which includes ensuring that you adhere to the yielding rules that are mentioned in the first point. The majority of people you meet on your journey will be very friendly and ready to give you a smile or even stop for a quick chat.
As a result, it is only polite to at least say hello or exchange other pleasantries when you pass another hiker. It's the easiest rule to follow, and being a nice person makes the journey and area that much nicer for you and others who are walking it. There's no point being rude in such a beautiful setting.
It is good manners not to stop in the middle of the path to take photographs and selfies if there are people behind you. Either step off the trail to take your photo, or let the hikers behind you pass so that you can take your picture without holding anyone up. It's only polite, and others will appreciate it.
This is such an important thing to do. Sticking to the trail is essential if you want to stay safe during your travels. Thinking you know a shortcut can be a huge mistake, and so many people end up very lost or even injured because they thought they knew of a quicker way. Unless you're Bear Grylls, stick to what you know, and the path that has been designed for you.
Plus, if you go crashing through the forest or wilderness, you are disturbing nature and the wildlife that resides in it. No one else on the trail will find you impressive for going off the trail, and you are only putting yourself in harm's way. So, stick to the trail, and don't wander off.

This does tie in with the concept of Leave No Trace, as respect for the trail is also respect for the area around it. There is no point in creating markers along the trail, and this certainly goes for marking trees because you think you might get lost. This is not only disrespectful to the area, and harmful to the trees, but then other people will be doing the same, and you will be bound to lose track of your own marks.
Make sure you read the trail guidelines before you get started, so that any specific rules that need to be followed are adhered to so that you can give the trail the respect it deserves. It is requested, and good manners, not to pick any of the plants or take anything from the trail and its surrounding areas as souvenirs. They say that the only marks to be left should be your boot prints, and the only souvenirs your memories and the photographs you take.
Something that is important to note, but is often forgotten, are cairns. They are a controversial topic, with some being very useful, and others being nothing other than a blemish on the landscape. However, many hikers see them as an opportunity to carry out a romantic tradition of adding to the cairn. Please do not do this. Some are put there to mark the trail, and adding them can cause collapse. Aside from getting hikers lost, it can point them in the wrong direction which then leads them to add to the growing problem of erosion and the trampling of plant life. Don't add to them, and don't knock them down so that you can restore the landscape to its natural form. Your intentions might be good, but the results are not.
If you have horses, it is requested that you do not tie your horses to the trees. This is because they often end up chewing on the bark, which can cause damage to the trees. If you need to dismount, it is advised you hold their reins at all times, or if they must be tied to a tree for lack of something else, it is done for a very short period so that they cannot eat the bark.
If you see acts of vandalism being carried out, make sure you report it. Even if you don't witness it and you only see the aftermath, it is vital that it gets reported to those that manage the trail. Usually, their contact details will be online or on the trailhead brochure.
It is equally important to respect the wildlife when you are out hiking. They are what makes the hike that much more beautiful, and they also play an integral part in our eco-system. Part of respecting them means not feeding them, even if they are quite tame and willing to approach you. After all, you do not know which foods could cause them harm, and possibly death. Take a step back and observe instead of interact – it leaves the moment with a certain beauty that cannot quite be described.
Equally, please do not throw things at the wildlife or torment them for fun. The Leave No Trace rule also applies to the wildlife as litter can be very harmful to them if ingested. The same goes for empty cans and the plastic rings found on multipacks of cans. Leaving litter is not looked upon kindly, so make sure you pick it up and bring it back with you.
If you are passing skittish wildlife, try to be quiet as you do so. This way, you will not disturb them too much, and they can continue to go about their business. If they are frightened or spooked too often, they may decide to stop using that location for grazing and move somewhere else – so no one else will be able to enjoy the experience. Plus, it gives you a wonderful opportunity to observe nature in some of its rare and peaceful moments.
Hikers go out to enjoy the peace and tranquillity that nature has to offer. Loud music from your headphones or music device will not be appreciated, as the trail is a place to escape town and city noises. It's ok to listen to music while you walk, and many people do it, just keep it to personal volume levels.
Similarly, loud noises from your hiking group are not appreciated. Keep your conversations to normal sound levels, there is no need to shout at each other just because you are out in a quiet area. The same goes for mobile phone conversations. The reception is unlikely to be good, so your phone conversations will likely lead you to be louder than usual. Unless it is an emergency, leave it at home. No one wants to hear your yelling disturb their walk through nature.
This rule is primarily for those who have decided to wander beyond the UK in search of a hiking adventure. If you are in an area that has a bear population, then it is ok to make noise, and it is something that is often encouraged. It is often advised that you tie pots and pans to the bottom of your rucksack so that they bang together while you walk. This is because bears are more likely to avoid the loud noises being made by the pans and so will not come near you.
When you go out hiking, you are going to meet people who think they own the wilderness and as though they have the right to do whatever they like. These include people who ride their bicycles far too quickly down the trails and give you no warning as they fly past. It is important to keep an eye out for the people who are more aggressive and less thoughtful of those around them.
However, while these are the ones that often make the biggest impression, it is important to remember that most of the people hiking are actually very polite and will be more than happy to stop and help if you need it. Remember to stay aware of your surroundings, and you will be just fine.
Hiking is a beautiful and enlightening experience. It allows you to escape the noise and business of city life, and escape back to nature where it is tranquil and calm. People go hiking so that they can find some peace in an increasingly hectic world, and that is why it is so important that you follow hiker etiquette. Across the world, these rules will come in useful when you are out on your trekking adventures. So, stay safe, follow the rules, and be kind to your fellow hikers.

Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling to tour Irish League grounds as part of charity walk
It takes place later this year as part of a four-day fundraising effort
Gareth Fullerton
Jeff will visit four grounds in Belfast - Seaview, Solitude, The Oval and Windsor Park
Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling will visit a number of Irish League football grounds as part of a special charity walk later this year.
The epic walking challenge for Prostate Cancer UK will span four countries in four days this September - including Northern Ireland.
The popular television presenter has already completed 25 walking marathons for the leading men's health charity in 2016 and 2017, raising close to £800,000.
And he aims to march through the £1m fundraising barrier when he travels to Glasgow, Belfast, Cardiff and London from September 5-8 this year.
All smiles during a previous March for Men event
After boarding a flight from Glasgow at the end of the opening leg, the second day of his exciting 100-plus mile March for Men sees him visit Northern Ireland.
He will kick off the day in North Belfast when he visits Crusaders Football Club.
From there, the walkers will head to Solitude, home of Cliftonville and then Glentoran's Oval ground in the east of the city.
Dundela and Dungoyne coaches embark on 24-hour charity walk in Belfast and North Down
The day culminates at Windsor Park, home of Linfield and the Northern Ireland national team.
The exciting four-day event is part of Prostate Cancer UK's wider walking programme, March for Men , which returns bigger and better in 2019 with 10 City Walks across the UK in June – including, for a first time, a family-friendly event at the Stormont Estate on June 9.
Jeff is best known for his appearances on Sky Sports
And Stelling is urging the public to pull on their walking boots to join him and support the charity in their quest to help stop prostate cancer being a killer.
Over 9,000 men are living with and after prostate cancer in Northern Ireland, emphasising the need to raise awareness and funds.
"It's three years since I started this life-saving journey at the gates of my club, Hartlepool United, but there is still so much work to do," said Jeff, who regularly wears the Prostate Cancer UK Man of Men pin badge on Soccer Saturday.
"Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, with one man dying every 45 minutes from this disease. That's unacceptable, and that's why I'm walking again.
Jeff is urging everyone to join him on his walks
"It's an indiscriminate disease, affecting men and their loved ones across the UK. I've walked alongside many of them and am proud to call some friends.
"Their reaction and positive outlook despite being dealt the toughest of hands is simply unbelievable. I'm marching for them – and everyone affected – in a bid to fund the research to change the game.
'Darkness Into Light' event to be launched at West Belfast GAA club
"That's why I'm taking our walk across into Northern Ireland and all four home nations and would love the public to join me en route."
Now in its third year, Prostate Cancer UK's March for Men series has grown bigger with ten organised walks including returns to Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester and Nottingham and new walks in Belfast, Birmingham and Cardiff.
Prostate Cancer UK Chief Executive Angela Culhane, who has walked more than 130 miles alongside Stelling across the 2016 and 2017 March for Men events, said: "We're thrilled that Jeff's amazing journey will continue this year and are incredibly excited he will be spearheading our drive to raise awareness and funds for vital research across the four nations.
"By visiting Glasgow, Belfast, Cardiff and London and walking to some of the country's iconic stadia alongside fans and people affected by prostate cancer, Jeff's epic challenge will extend our footprint in football, and prove again the power that sport can have in breaking down barriers and shaping tangible change."

For those who fall within the fast crunch little cash and spend on the seek for stress-free way, the same day payday loans generally is a dependable various.
Often, entrepreneurs looking for even a small amount should rush to their close by monetary intuitions in anticipation of raising finance to strengthen their assets. This course of will be sophisticated and frustrating in that instantaneous once you actually in an ideal need. The lengthy paper work can flip down your morale properly below your nose. At cut-off date how service provider money online advance payday loan work to your small enterprise is obviously commendable. This is an innovative method of elevating funds for whatever the goal is, be it to amass additional property or simply running expenses.
Students: For a pupil to be availed with a mortgage, employment proof shouldn't be required. Unemployed college students who run into monetary problems are able to apply and be advanced with loans to meet their financial obligations. The rationale for this is the idea that once the scholar is thru with their studies, they are going to be capable to get good jobs which is able to permits them will get money to pay back their loan quantities. The other motive is that, generally the loans come instantly from their governments or are assured by the federal government. Normally, it is a social calling to supply money for training even when circumstances aren't promising.
In this method you'll receive quick cash and you'll pay back with ease. However, you should make certain the rate of interest for the agency and the payback interval because it differs from company to agency. Whereas some are strict, others are utterly relaxed. These companies profit from the excessive rates of interest which are offset within a short time. The shorter the interval, the upper the interest rate, which is the norm out there, and thus your PAYBACK quantity relies on the quantity and urgency.
Lenders supply loans to poor creditors as a result of they are confident of collecting the mortgage quantity again from them. Furthermore unhealthy collectors may must shell out the next rate of interest. Again this can be reduced if you are able to convince the lender that you're not a excessive threat customer. Regardless of the interest rate most debtors desire to opt for money advances for unfavorable credit ratings for the simple cause that they are able to confront their cash crunch immediately. Since no collateral is required debtors don't mind paying the next rate of interest. But it will be sensible for the customer to test if there are any additional fees levied on the loan quantity. Only if this is clarified should a borrower sign on the dotted lines.

Scheduled for a 9am departure at Washington State Park tomorrow. 7 mile float on one of their kayaks. So, hoping for a good day of learning. One is better than most of my outings this year, so the bar is pretty low.
Learned a lot today. Wish that we could have gotten on the water earlier, but their rentals don't start until 9. Once we were picked up, we were dropped at what I think is Blackwell and started around 9:45am. We went upstream just above the bridge where we dropped in. My buddy was floating and fishing for the first time. He is brand new to the entire thing. Two casts with a green pumpkin lizard and he hooked a 14 inch smallie. We were hoping it would be that type of day.
It took around another hour of floating before I finally caught one. I was throwing a Baby Brush hog and hooked up with a 1 lb 12 oz largemouth (I think...no rough patch on the tongue, but his dorsal was connected, and the tail had a solid horizontal bar and wasn't patchy...) Caught one more smaller largemouth on that. It was on my ultralight set up, because it's the only other rod I have besides my medium, so it was a fun little fight with the first fish.
Started off with the Tackle HD Craw, but didn't get any takers. Threw on an ExoPod from BioSpawn that I got in a Mystery Tacklebox when I did a trial run...and that was the winner for the day. It was a slow float and I was just throwing at every piece of cover I could find. Missed a few, but ended up catching 7 total in the 4 miles we were on the river. The biggest was right before we got to the ramp where we were taking out. Had just put back on the ExoPod, threw at some submerged tree, and didn't even feel the fish hit. It was just heavy pressure. But, it's my PB (which isn't saying much, but is working its way up now that I'm getting back into it).
A nice 2 lb 6 oz largemouth. I think it was about 17 inches long, but I forgot to measure him because I was stoked to get one more before getting off the water.
When I got home, I was talking to my wife and I told her "you know how I said that I had an itch that needed to be scratched?" She finished the sentence for me, "It's gotten worse hasn't it? You got into poison ivy..."
That pretty much summarizes it. Time to find some kayaks this winter...

Yeah, get your own. There are several brands with sit on top kayaks that are very reasonably priced, and will be way better than the rental boats you rented yesterday. Then you can outfit it the way you want, put in when you want and where you want (if you have a buddy or an understanding wife to shuttle you), and you'll be much more comfortable.

Yeah, I have both. Buddy I fished with yesterday and I have been planning already. The park rented Perception Access 11.5, which they really weren't bad. The seat sucked horribly though. Starts at $500 which is fine by me, but want something I can outfit a bit more. I don't know that I need a gigantic $1500 monster, but fortunately, I think marketplace is about to be full of kayaks this winter from the COVID purge...

Bucket List: Swim Like a Mermaid
Unlike most of the girls and women that I know, I never dreamed of becoming a mermaid or a princess when I was a little girl. Maybe I am weird. I guess, at a young age, I just know what "fantasies" are real - or may happen. I remember imagining myself attending fun parties and going to different places.
featured photo taken by @popazrael
But somehow, the universe allowed me to live a girl's dream. I became a mermaid. It is as if the universe is reminding me that when you (refuse to) believe in something, the stars will conspire anyway to make you feel/believe/see/become it.

... and so I was transformed into a mermaid. I always knew it is not easy being a mermaid (especially for someone who doesn't know how to swim). First, getting into the mermaid's tail is already a struggle (I wish it were easy as rubbing a shell just like how we see it in the movies). Swimming and flipping my tail under the water gives a good leg exercise. You need to be strong and patient. Good thing, the merman (who traded his fins to legs) is very patient.
So yes, I became a mermaid. The best thing about it is, they didn't ask me to sing.

My area of expertise is studying disease mechanisms in vascular biology. My recent research has focused on the effect of obesity and inflammation on vascular dysfunction. I have received two R01 grants to support this line of investigation and have additionally received a 5-year PPG project grant with Dr. Ken Walsh. I also have extensive expertise in echocardigraphy and currently collaborate with several investigators in the Department of Medicine.
