Our most recommended Garden Route Outdoor Activities
1. Garden Route National Park: Tsitsikamma Zipline Canopy Tour
This is a unique eco-wilderness adventure that takes place in the magnificent Tsitsikamma indigenous rainforest. Most of the platforms are located in giant Outeniqua Yellowwood trees. The scenery and bird life is spectacular and professional guides provide interesting facts about the forest ecology during the 2.5 to 3 hours. The concept of guiding people through the upper canopy of a rainforest originated in Costa Rica, where adventurous biologists devised new methods for accessing the forest canopy in order to conduct research on the undiscovered canopy ecosystem. The idea soon developed into a breathtaking form of eco-tourism which allowed people to enter and experience a previously inaccessible natural environment. The tour begins with a detailed safety briefing followed by a kitting up session where full body harness, pulleys, and climbing equipment is issued and checked. A short drive into the Tsitsikamma forest and it is time to monkey around. From the start on the launch platform, a new world unfolds as one gently glides on a steel cable to the first tree platform. All groups are escorted through the forest canopy by a lead guide and a follow guide to ensure your safety as you slide from tree to tree. The platforms are built high up in the giant Outeniqua Yellowwoods and provide an unbelievable view of this enchanting new world, any fear of heights is soon lost as you gather in your new surroundings.
2. Botlierskop Private Game Reserve: 3-Hour Guided Game Drive
Take a 3-hour guided game drive at Botlierskop Private Game Reserve, and experience close encounters with rhinos, lions, giraffes, buffaloes and more. Situated in spectacular mountains near Mossel Bay, the reserve boasts a great diversity of habitats and 26 different species of wildlife. The 4,200 hectare reserve is a paradise for bird watchers, with more than 200 species to be seen. In an open game viewing vehicle, your guide will take you to the best locations to spot lions, zebras, elephants, and other animals. After the game drive, spend some time enjoying the facilities, including a restaurant and an open-air swimming pool.
3. Plettenberg Bay: Guided Sea Kayak Tour
After a thorough briefing on kayaking techniques and safety, paddle from Central Beach and back. The direction will be dependant on winds, swells and paddling abilities. The knowledgeable guide will explain the wonders of the ocean, as you take in the views of the Tsitsikamma mountains and the Robberg Nature Reserve. Enjoy sightings of Cape fur seals, bottlenose and humpback dolphins, whales (July – October), cormorants, and other sea birds and marine mammals. Whatever time of the year, this is an experience not to be missed by beginners and experienced kayakers alike.
4. Plettenberg Bay: Swim with Seals
Go swimming with seals in Plettenberg Bay, a fun and playful experience for all involved. Meet at the local office to take care of the paperwork and pick up all your equipment. Your group will depart by boat from Central Beach aboard the Robberg Express for an exciting beach launch. Head towards Robberg Nature Reserve and Marine Protected Area, home to approximately 6000 Cape fur seals. Accompanied by a qualified divemaster, hop into the water and enjoy 30 minutes of amazing animal interaction among bundles of playful, inquisitive fur seals. Have the ultimate wild animal encounter in their natural environment and without altering their natural behaviours.
5. Plettenberg Bay: Canyoning Trip
Check in at the base camp to pick up your wetsuits, harnesses, life jackets and helmets. Once the group is ready, leave base camp for a short drive to the start of your canyon adventure. First, start your ropes course with a gentle 25-meter abseil into the canyon. Then, kick off with your first jump into the river followed by a short swim. Next, if you choose, try your hand at some cliff jumping. For this part of the activity, the highest jump is around of about 7 meters, and lowest 1 meter above the water level, so there are many options if your nerves are getting the better of you. Continue swimming and hiking down the river to The Rush, a waterfall abseil, and seasonally a controlled zip-line over the waterfall. Carry on swimming and hiking down the river until your next adventure, a 55-meter zip-line over a waterfall and into the river below. On completion of the trip, you will be collected from the pick-up point and transported back to the base camp for a nice hot shower, and to collect your pictures of the canyon trip.
6. Tsitsikamma Guided Hikes
Wander through the ancient Tsitsikamma forest as you travel back in time to when the forest was home to hunter gatherers and learn more about their daily existence beneath the canopy. As you hike beneath the treetops, discover how the forest lives and breathes to the sounds of birds like the Knysna Loerie and Green Hoophoes—you will be amazed. Hike the Tsitsikamma's indigenous forest and discover the secrets of the spectacular forest: choose your own adventure with a variety of routes to choose from. As you enter the forest you will encounter Hard Pear trees, Giant Yellow Woods and other interesting forest flora for an experience you'll never forget. The routes start at the Stormsriver Adventure Centre. The hikes are relatively easy and an average of 3 km/h can indicate the time needed to complete the various routes.
7. From Cape Town/Stellenbosch: 3 Day Garden Route and Safari
Day 1: Oudtshoorn (Distance traveled: about 400 km) Start with a morning pick-up from your accommodation in Cape Town and Stellenbosch areas. Set off along the famous Route 62, where you'll capture the beauty of high mountains, twisting passes, vast Karoo plains, vineyards and orchards. Pop in at one of the many farm stalls along the way, stocked with locally crafted delights before arriving in Oudtshoorn, ostrich capital of the world. Delve deep underground to the magical Cango Caves' limestone chambers, alive with drip formation stalactites and stalagmites and remnants of Khoikhoi paintings. Opt for the easy-going guided Heritage Tour to test the cave's acoustics and gain insights about the dripstone evolution. By contrast, the Adventure Tour allows would-be contortionists to squeeze, twist and wiggle their way through limestone chimneys on a rather more daring underground route. You'll spend the evening in Oudtshoorn at leisure. Either head to town to enjoy a top restaurant meal or join locals for an optional outdoor braai (similar to bbq) including South African favourites, such as ostrich kebabs, boerewors or potbrood. Overnight in Oudtshoorn - Choose between Budget Backpacker or ensuite Guest house packages to stay at: Backpackers Paradise or 3-Star Yamkela guest house B&B or 4-Star Buffelsdrift Lodge and 4-Star Surval Botigue Olive Farm. Day 2: Wilderness, Sedgefield (Distance traveled: about 450 km) As the dawn breaks in the dusty Klein Karoo, opt for a close encounter with Mother Nature and join rangers on an optional Elephant Bush Walk. Gentle giants, Jabari, Malaika and Bulelo made Buffelsdrift their home after their parents were poached in the north of South Africa. Join these three rescued elephants, as they walk to the nearby waterhole. Following in their footsteps and make memories you'll never forget. Then, take to the water for a leisurely afternoon paddle along the reed-lined banks of the Touws River, deep in Wilderness National Park. Indigenous forest and campgrounds line the river. It's not until you stop paddling and let the gentle current guide you, that the abundance of birdlife becomes apparent. The adventure continues as you reach Bloukrans Bridge, the world's highest commercial bridge bungy jump. The bungy bridge itself is fairly unassuming as you drive over it, but it's pretty clear from the squeals and screams that this isn't your average photo stop. Seemingly normal people hurtle face first down the 216 m drop only to spring back up on an elastic cord like a yoyo. This region is a playground for the outdoors and those who'd prefer to keep their feet on solid ground will visit the nearby forest in the Tsitsikamma area. Spend the evening soaking in the slow town way of life in Sedgefield. If you decide to stay overnight in the nearby Wilderness or Knysna areas, check out the rustic beach restaurant and feel the white sand between your toes as you sip on cocktails, or venture into town for a more intimate dinner. Overnight in Sedgefield - choose between: Afrovibe Backpackers, 3-Star Purple Heron guest house, 3-star Dune Beach House, 4-Star Dover On Sea guest house, or 4-star Beach Villa. If an overnight stay at Sedgefield is not possible, accommodation will be arranged in the Wilderness or Knysna areas. Day 3: Garden Route (Distance traveled: about 400 km) Start the day in the heart of the African bush. On your first stop of the day, spot some of Africa's wild animals from the back of an open 4x4 vehicle in the malaria-free Botlierskop Private Game Reserve. Search for giraffe, white rhino, kudu, lion, elephant, zebra, and wildebeest, just to name a few. The game drive is led by an experienced game ranger, sharing his knowledge of the local wildlife; including antelope species, birdlife, and insects. When your guide finds the perfect spot, you'll hop off your safari vehicle for an even closer connection to nature on a tranquil bush walk. Follow your game ranger as you look for wildlife through the coastal renosterveldt and Cape fynbos, keep an eye out for animal tracks, and learn about the medicinal value of the plants as you walk. End off the day with a journey through the landscape rolling farmlands as you pass through the heart of the Garden Route on your way back to Cape Town and Stellenbosch.
8. Cape Town/Stellenbosch: 5-Day Garden Route Tour & Addo Park

The original elephant section of the park was dedicated to providing a safe haven for the few wild elephants that survived government-sponsored culling in the early 20th century. The lush vegetation provides protection and a rich food source, supporting what is now the most densely populated area of wild elephants on the planet. This finely tuned ecosystem is a sanctuary to over 550 elephants, lions, buffalo, black rhino, spotted hyena, leopard, a variety of antelope and zebra, and other species. • Head to the beach or shop in Jeffrey's Bay.

What people are saying about Garden Route
The experience was excellent. The guides were good and well experienced. The only issue was the photos they took since we aren't allowed to bring along our cameras. For R250 the fotos are horrible and weren't allowed to see them when we paid. We were told that they will be emailed only to find out they are horrible that's why we are not allowed to see them at the premises which sound like a scam.

If you're thinking about hiring a life coach, you should first understand what they do. A coach's job is to encourage forward thinking, closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Starting coaching sessions could impact your life in profound ways, whether you're seeking stress relief, mentoring, or a better work/life balance. Here are three benefits of life coaching you won't find anywhere else.
When most people seek advice, they turn to their loved ones. While family and friends are a vital form of support, your life coach provides unbiased input, something impossible to get from those closest to you. Your coach will assess your situation from an outsider's perspective, helping you to see it differently. What's truly causing stress? Maybe it's home behavior you'd be unable to recognize on your own, especially if you're turning to housemates for advice. This unbiased evaluation could transform your thinking.
When you have a goal in mind, accountability is key. If you can't hold yourself accountable, your coach can. Life coaches mentor you through life's toughest moments, creating smaller goals to work toward in between sessions. At the next session, you'll be obligated to tell your coach where you are in your journey, which encourages forward progress.
Each life coaching session provides an opportunity to focus solely on you: your thoughts, hopes, and dreams. A busy life makes it difficult to sit back and take a moment to breathe. Your coaching sessions give you a safe space to truly reflect, helping you turn inward for the strength you need to improve your own future.
Hiring a life coach is an excellent way to help achieve your goals. When you work with Goal Focused Results in Kaneohe, HI, you receive the support needed to reach sustainable success. Roanne Abe, a Strategic Intervention and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, will help you clarify your aspirations to create a precise plan to reach them. Each coaching session is a collaborative effort, identifying roadblocks and establishing stepping stones to help you achieve your dreams. Visit her website or call (808) 386-2834 to schedule a free clarity session today.


Arizona public schools educated me growing up. I remember that first day of school with the smell of the wooden desks and plastic from the brand-new Trapper Keepers that every student just had to have. Fridays always included pizza day, with the smell of the cheese permeating throughout the cafeteria creating culinary anticipation by all the students. I also remember the butterflies from fear of meeting my 20 new classmates that first day, hoping to be liked just like any kid.
Now imagine the experience too many of our students face today. Some students attend their first day of class with 50 other students until the school can find retired teachers to rotate into the class along with other short-term solutions. Due to budget cuts to education by the legislature, to start the 2017 school year more than 500 teachers quit or did not come to school because of the pitiful salary they receive. Who can blame them? We ask them to prepare our children to succeed while they rank last in the country in salary. It's simple economics. Worst of all, it negatively affects the quality of education our children receive. Do you remember how unruly a classroom of 20 3rd graders could be? Now imagine there being 35 children.
Fortunately, a solution does present itself that does not cost taxpayers. Arizona provides corporations significant tax breaks for job creation, yet does not hold those corporations accountable. By closing those loopholes, we can recoup tens of millions of dollars that can be used for public education. So, we have a choice. Should we continue to let corporate CEO's who live outside of Arizona profit from unfulfilled promises? I say no. I say we instead invest that money in our Arizona children who will be the future leaders of our great state.


These year-end statistics cover Carper's record during the 2017 legislative year (Jan 3, 2017-Dec 31, 2017) and compare him to other senators serving at the end of that period. Last updated on Jan 6, 2018.
A higher or lower number below doesn't necessarily make this legislator any better or worse, or more or less effective, than other Members of Congress. We present these statistics for you to understand the quantitative aspects of Carper's legislative career and make your own judgements based on what activities you think are important.
Compare to all Serving 10+ Years (39th percentile); Senate Democrats (4th percentile); All Senators (36th percentile).
Compare to all Serving 10+ Years (10th percentile); Senate Democrats (9th percentile); All Senators (13th percentile).
6 of Carper's bills and resolutions in 2017 had a cosponsor who was a chair or ranking member of a committee that the bill was referred to. Getting support from committee leaders on relevant committees is a crucial step in moving legislation forward.
Compare to all Serving 10+ Years (73rd percentile); Senate Democrats (80th percentile); All Senators (77th percentile).
For more, see our methodology. Note that because on this page only legislative activity in 2017 is considered, the leadership score here may differ from Carper's score elsewhere on GovTrack.
Compare to all Serving 10+ Years (15th percentile); Senate Democrats (28th percentile); All Senators (27th percentile).
The House and Senate often work on the same issue simultaneously by introducing companion bills in each chamber. 5 of Carper's bills and resolutions had a companion bill in the House. Working with a sponsor in the other chamber makes a bill more likely to be passed by both the House and Senate.
Compare to all Serving 10+ Years (29th percentile); Senate Democrats (15th percentile); All Senators (26th percentile).
In this era of partisanship, it is important to see Members of Congress working across the aisle. 6 of Carper's 13 bills and resolutions had both a Democratic cosponsor and a Republican cosponsor in 2017.
Compare to all Serving 10+ Years (24th percentile); Senate Democrats (26th percentile); All Senators (30th percentile).
Carper introduced 0 bills that became law, including via incorporation into other measures, in 2017. Keep in mind that it takes a law to repeal a law. Very few bills ever become law.

The 2019 Foothills Food Summit
In 2019, the FCFP hosted the Foothills Food Summit, a convening of community members, partner organizations, and elected officials to have a conversation about food access and the food landscape in the Foothills region. Community members, partner organizations, and elected officials attended the Summit.
The themes that arose from those conversations at the Summit were used to develop the Foothills Food Access Plan. The comprehensive Food Access Plan was recently completed and reflects the research, community input, and discussions of visions and strategies from the Foothills Food Summit.
The Foothills Community Food Partnership
The Foothills Community Food Partnership (FCFP) was started in 2013 by a group of concerned Foothills community members and representatives from local organizations who shared goals of a healthy, integrated food access system for the Foothills region. The FCFP uses community input to improve food access and community resilience.
The small steering committee organizes community events, collaborates with partners, and supports other programming. The steering committee is currently made up of representatives from the Foothills Food Bank, Opportunity Council, WSU Whatcom County Extension, Whatcom County Health Department, and the Northwest Agricultural Business Center.
We look forward to seeing you on July 16!

Les Oulad Mehdi (également Ouled Mahdi, en arabe أولاد مهدي, « les fils de Mehdi ») est un clan de bédouins sédentarisé à Béni-Abbés depuis plus de 7 siècles, descendants de la tribu de Beniabbes des Béni Hassan (de la grande confédération de Bani moqil) ou des Banu El-Abbes.

Ils sont liés aux Mrabtine, Ouled Ali Ben Moussa, Ouled Rahou et Ouled Hamed avec qui ils forment la communauté dite Ababsa. Ce sont des musulmans malékites.

Origine

Ils se disent descendants de la tribu de Beniabbes des Béni Hassan (de la grande confédération de Bani moqil) dont l'ancêtre commun est El Mehdi Ben Youssef, d'où leur nom, et qui remonte par ses origines à Dja'far at-Tayyār : « El Mehdi Ben Youssef Ben Said Ben El-Abbas… Ben Hassan Ben Mokhtar Ben Mohamed Ben Moqil Ben Moussa El-Harradj Ben Mohamed Ben Djaàfar El-Amir Ben Ibrahim El-Aàrabi Ben Mohamed El-Djaouad Ben Ali Azzainabi Ben Abdellah Ben Dja'far at-Tayyār.»

d'autre disent descendants des Banu El-Abbes.

Certains auteurs (Maximilien de La Martinière et Napoléon Lacroix) disent que l'ascendance d'El Mehdi Ben Youssef vient des Doui-Menia, ce qui est loin de la réalité. L'ancêtre des Doui-Menia serait Menie Ben Moghith Ben Mohammed El Gharib appartenant à la branche Harth Ben Malek dépendante des Banou Amer Ben Zoghba descendant des Banu Hilal.

Ibn Khaldoun lui-même dit que nombreux sont ceux qui confondent la généalogie des Bani moqil avec celle des Banu Hilal, en raison de leur arrivée en alliance de l'Orient.

Histoire
Quarante ans après la mort de Sidi othman et de la Seguia el-Hamra, El Mehdi Ben Youssef arrive à Béni-Abbés pour s'installer avec sa famille. C. Ramès dit qu'El Mehdi Ben Youssef vient s'installer à Béni-Abbés après être exilé par sa tribu à la suite d'un crime (chose non prouvée).

Il a quitté sa famille, y compris ses deux fils Youssef et Said et ses serviteurs, pour aller à Oued Draâ d'où il ramena des palmiers. Dans le voyage du retour, il a été accompagné par Ali Ben Moumen de la tribu Arib. Ils fondèrent le ksar des Oulad Mehdi dont il habite Youssef et Said fils de Mehdi Ben Youssef et Mohamed fils de Ali Ben Moumen.

Juste en haut de ce ksar existe un cimetière réservé pour l'enterrement des habitants de ce dernier et dans lequel est enterré le fameux Sidi Mohamed Ben Abbou, pour qui est dédié un mausolée (Sidi Mohamed Ben Abbou est l'un des descendants d'El Mehdi Ben Youssef).

Organisation sociale
L'organisation des Oulad Mehdi repose sur les liens du sang. On distingue en haut deux branches, du fait qu'El Mehdi Ben Youssef n'a que deux fils, Oulad Youssef et Oulad Said ; chacune de ces deux branches va par la suite se décomposer en plusieurs sous-branches.

Coutumes et traditions
En plus des traditions communes avec tous les autres Ababsas, Oulad Mehdi a ses propres traditions, entre autres :
 Man-àta en arabe من أتى « qui vient ». C'est un repas préparé à l'occasion du Mouloud (anniversaire du Prophète) à base de couscous, donné gratuitement aux visiteurs (près des mosquées) et c'est de là qu'elle tire son nom « qui vient ».

Using an infra-red camera to peer through dense Peruvian forest cover for the first time, explorers have found a lost ruin which seems to be a sister site of the Inca ceremonial city of Machu Picchu.
Flying over the Andes in a single engined Cessna, the Anglo-American expedition found Llactapata when the camera picked out the outlines of stone buildings, which retain heat, unlike vegetation.
However, there are fears that the new site is highly vulnerable to looters. It is only two miles from Machu Picchu, part shrine, part palace, which is visited by half a million people each year and protected by a national park.
The discovery of Llactapata, around 50 miles north-west of Cuzco, the old Inca capital, was announced yesterday by Hugh Thomson, the British writer and explorer who led the expedition with the American archaeologist Gary Ziegler, supported by The Royal Geographical Society and Explorers Club of America.
"This is the first time that infra-red cameras have been used in this way to find lost Inca sites," said Mr Thomson, who has just returned after four months in Peru. "We feel it is one of the most important finds for many years." The team travelled to Llactapata in July and August with a mule-team and used machetes to cut their way through to the substantial site, which lies at 9,000ft in the Eastern Andes.
They found a plaza with ceremonial doorways aligned to Machu Picchu, which can be seen in the distance, across the Aobamba canyon. They also found a two-storey temple, which faces the rising sun.
The team believes one part of the site was a sun temple, like that found at Cuzco. They found a ceremonial passageway that seemed to have been aligned precisely on the sun and the Pleiades star cluster, used as a seasonal indicator for the planting of crops.
The only previous identification of the main part of the site had been by Hiram Bingham, the American explorer, in 1912, but he gave an inaccurate account of the position of the "Inca fortress".
The Thomson-Ziegler expedition both re-located this sector of several square kilometres, which is much bigger than Bingham realised, and also identified as many as five sectors spread out across a hillside, making Llactapata a settlement of some magnitude.
Mr Ziegler said: "This is an important discovery which may completely alter our view of Machu Picchu, as the Llactapata site is closely related to it."
The team speculates that Llactapata was one of a network of ceremonial sites around the the Machu Picchu hub. Machu Picchu is seen as both a palace and a sacred centre, with a unique convergence of features, notably mountains and the Urubamba river, providing astronomical alignments.
Johan Reinhard, the anthropologist and explorer, said the "important discovery reinforces the need to expand the Machu Picchu Historical Sanctuary's borders to include and protect a wider area. At present the Llactapata ruins lie outside the protection of any Peruvian National Park and so are vulnerable to looters."
"This must be one of the last places left on the planet where archaeological sites are still being located," said Mr Thomson. "We are extremely excited by this new find."


Judge Thomas Zampino (Ret.) served as a Family Court Judge for over two decades. During part of his tenure, he also served as Presiding Judge of the Family Court. Since his appointment to the bench in 1989, he has settled or decided thousands of divorce cases.
Judge Zampino (Ret.) has taught Judges and attorneys throughout the State and the Country on behalf of the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education and the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges where he also served as a trustee of the organization.
As a practicing attorney, he was a past chairperson of the Family Law Section of the New Jersey State Bar Association and a member of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. He is the past chairperson of the New Jersey Child Support Commission and a past member of the Supreme Court Family Practice Committee.
His practice is limited to the successful mediation and arbitration of matrimonial cases upon referral and appointment by the Court.
Judge Zampino (Ret.) received the 2017 Serpentelli Award presented by the Family Law Section of the New Jersey State Bar Assocation. He is a member of the New Jersey and New York bar.


Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, bring 1-1/4 cups water, milk, margarine, pasta and Special Seasonings to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Gently boil uncovered, 5 to 6 minutes or until pasta is slightly firm, stirring occasionally.
Cut grilled vegetables into 1/2-inch chunks; stir into pasta mixture. Let stand 3 minutes. Top pasta with cheese and basil.

Dean: 'We Will Find a Way to Screw This Up'
"Folks, let's not forget, we're Democrats, If there's a way to lose, we will find it."
Amid a growing belief that there is no way the Democrats can blow the 2008 presidential election, Democratic National Committee chief Howard Dean sought today to reassure the party faithful that the party was "doing everything in its power" to uphold its losing tradition. At a top-level summit called "Defeat: 2008" being held in Boston, the former Vermont Governor gave a rousing speech to concerned Democrats, bringing his audience to his feet by vowing, "I can assure each and every one of you, we will find a way to screw this up."..........here

Roseland council member David Snyder was taken to St. Joseph County jail and held overnight after an incident during a Roseland council meeting. He was released after the prosecutor's office reviewed the police report and decided to drop the felony charge, clearing way for Dorothy Snyder to bail him out. David Snyder was ejected from a budget meeting Friday night, before being taken to the ground outside by a Roseland police officer. The melee started because David Snyder protested after being given only one minute to speak by council member Charlie Shields. After a heated argument, laced with profanities, Shields kicked Snyder from the meeting........The Video here......YouTube Pulled Video

FLORIDA SMACKDOWN, STARRING HOWARD DEAN!


This Public Storage in Oviedo, just south of the intersection of State Road 426 and Red Bug Lake Road, is ready with cheap self storage to tackle any size haul, big or small.
This location is just minutes off of S.R. 417, S.R. 434 and County Road 419, making it a convenient destination for customers throughout central Seminole County.
Indoor storage units, climate controlled storage units and outdoor storage units give customers all kinds of self storage options to choose from.
A 5x10 storage unit is perfect for seasonal items, including winter wardrobes and holiday decorations, not to mention a handful of boxes of personal belongings.
Families in Slavia can grab a 10x15 storage unit to help clear out a messy garage or crowded spare bedroom in no time.
A local small business about to outgrow its current space can load everything into a large 10x25 storage unit when it's time to relocate up the street or across town.
The property manager lives at this facility and the storage units are in an area featuring keypad-code access for customers.
The rental office is open 7 days a week and also sells moving supplies, including mattress bags, packaging tape, bubble wrap and moving boxes.
Not only is Oviedo "Growing in the Right Direction," as the town motto states – it's growing in all directions, and whenever a bit of extra space is needed, check out this Public Storage for affordable storage solutions and outstanding customer service 7 days a week.
Ms. Susan at the 1931 West State Road 426 location was very helpful. She was always available when I needed her . She had excellent expertise on the size of the unit that I needed. Was understanding as I moved in right before Hurricane Irma. The property is well taken care of and clean. If there were any issues . She took care of it promptly I had a great experience with Public Storage thank you for your services.
During preparation for hurricane Irma, the staff closed access to the storage unit at 11. They had no sign posted on the gate which is where any sane person would expect to find a notice of hours change. They had a tiny sign posted on the door, and "sent an email out". A 24 hour notice of changing their hours could have definitely been handled better.
Ms. Susan was a great help. She was very friendly and I spent most of my time just talking with her. She even gave me tips on how to store my things in the storage so when I'm ready to take them out my things will not be ruined. Also, when I left one of my purchases at the facility she contacted me as soon as she could and has it saved for me for when I return to pack my things.
A little pricey and they do go up every year on rent. That being said the staff is super friendly and helpful. Very aware and even called me when I got ready to leave noticing lock was missing from my unit. Everything is well kept and very clean. Would highly recommend.

You are here: Home / Renewable Juneau: One phone call at a time
Renewable Juneau: One phone call at a time
The Mendenhall Glacier, a Juneau landmark, is both a major tourist attraction and a reminder of rapid regional climate change. (Megan Behnke/Florida State University)
Megan Behnke
We never answered the phone when I was growing up; no tyrannical telephone was allowed to interrupt our days. Occasionally, as the answering machine recorded something interesting, someone would madly dash across the living room to answer, but usually messages merited returned calls or nothing. A byproduct of our habit was my inconvenient fear of phone calls. I hated cold-calling, or answering the phone blind.
My dad clearly felt the same way. He would get this resigned look when preparing to call someone, postponing as long as possible, and finally holding the phone pensively. In an ever changing world, I took my dad's phone-phobia as a given.
Except now my dad makes a lot of phone calls. And he answers them, too.
He's not a scientist, but understands evidence, and climate change. He's a true Alaskan—a cultural geographer by training, but also a gardener, a sailor, and a woodsman. He knows and cares for the land on which he lives. And caring a lot about something can push someone to do scary things.
Now he is on the phone talking about heat pumps.
Not just heat pumps. He spends a lot of time on the landline (no smart phones for him yet) talking about electric vehicles, too, and committee meetings, fundraising, and our town's potential to become a national leader on local sustainability.
My dad is one of three founders of Renewable Juneau, which advocates for climate sanity, economic vitality, and quality of life for Alaska's capital city. Born in 2016, Renewable Juneau supports local, renewable energy, and disseminates practical information about sustainability in Juneau, providing workshops and brochures such as "Renewable Juneau's guide to heat pumps in Juneau" and "Renewable Juneau's brief guide to buying a used Nissan Leaf." Such guides are welcomed, and EVs are booming; the number of EVs in Juneau more than doubled in 2017, to over 200. This gives my hometown, with around 30,000 residents, one of the nation's highest per capita rates of EV ownership.
But Renewable Juneau is more than an EV advocate. It is serving as a catalyst for an ambitious local aim: 80% renewable energy in Juneau by 2045.
"Juneau can choose to take local climate action and improve our economy at the same time," my dad explains. "We can use our abundant rainfall and hydroelectricity to shift away from fossil fuels for heating our homes and powering our cars."
Steve Behnke sailing Southeast Alaska's waterways. (Megan Behnke/Florida State University)
My dad's organization believes that Juneau is poised to take national leadership on cutting fossil fuel use. Perched between the mountains and ice fields of coastal Southeast Alaska and the sea, the city is already powered by local, fish-friendly hydropower. "We've had 100% renewable electricity for a hundred years," Renewable Juneau's website proudly declares. But my father emphasizes the need for improvement: "Folks purchase fossil fuels for much of our town's transportation and heating needs, which is why we have been advocating for the Renewable Energy Strategy."
Juneau's isolation, with no road access, makes the costs of bringing fuel into the city high—$140 million a year to import fossil fuels, according to the Strategy. So not only does the Strategy make sense environmentally, it also makes economic sense. Renewable Juneau has advocated for the Strategy by rallying local businesses to sign on as Clean Energy Supporters. The group's original goal was "80 for 80"—80 businesses supporting an 80 percent renewable energy future. Shortly after calling for partners, they were at 105 businesses and counting. In a city Juneau's size, that represents a significant portion of the local economy. Clean Energy Supporters span Juneau's unique economy; commercial fishing vessels are listed alongside premier architecture and engineering firms, and law firms, medical centers and wilderness tour companies intermix with plumbers and bars. Despite their different niches, all acknowledge the importance of weaning Juneau from fossil fuels.
Even through I am now studying on the other side of the country, I stay abreast of the call for local government action back home. It would be hard not to—most phone conversations with my mother these days feature her slightly bemused observations ("your dad's off to another meeting" or "he's been talking on the phone all morning"), followed by an update on supportive businesses or recalcitrant assembly members. It seems that for every two steps forward there's a icy slide backwards, but despite frustrating days and phone calls that go in unexpected directions, my dad keeps educating folks about heat pumps and EVs, and continues gathering support.
Steve Behnke speaks about the Renewable Energy Strategy in front of the Juneau Assembly. (Alex McCarthy)
The momentum is working. In January, a key city committee approved the Strategy, moving it on to the full assembly. Despite earlier concerns from several members over possible economic impacts, committee recommendation was unanimous. Another step forward.
Juneau is a small city; reducing its fossil fuel use hardly makes a shift on a national graph of hydrocarbon consumption. "But as Alaska's capital, and as host to a million cruise ship visitors annually, we have the potential to have a large impact nationally," my dad emphasizes.
I take inspiration from the people in my hometown who have a vision of a fossil fuel free future, and who have the guts to work and make the phone calls and spread the conviction that will make it happen. These men and women know that focusing on the hydropower with which Southeast Alaska has been blessed is the economically healthy option, and they are not ashamed to dream that Juneau could be a national leader in and example for sustainable success.
My dad just called: "the Assembly adopted the Strategy tonight — it was unanimous!" He's overjoyed. He knows that many trying days and phone calls await as our town makes the Strategy a reality and becomes an 80% renewable capital city, but this good fight is won. I heard the twinkle in his eyes even over the phone as he recounted the victory, and I am proud to be his daughter.
Juneau is tucked between Alaska's coastal mountains and the ocean. (Megan Behnke/Florida State University)

Tax brackets: The new plan proposes three tax brackets as opposed to seven (10 percent, 25 percent, and 35 percent). But there's no detail on which incomes fall under each bracket. Currently, the highest tax bracket it 39 percent, so that rate would see a pretty significant deduction.
Alternative Minimum Tax repeal: As he mentioned in his campaign, Trump wants to repeal the AMT. This tax is designed to ensure the super wealthy pay enough in taxes (without the AMT, Trump himself would've paid just over 3% on his 2005 tax return), but it does make things complicated for middle-income earners, too.
Standard deductions and individual deductions: The new plan would double the standard deduction, which is currently $6,350 for single filers and $12,700 for married couples. But to make up for this cost, all individual tax deductions would be eliminated except charitable giving deductions and mortgage interest deductions (the White House says, contrary to confusion, this won't affect 401k deductions).
Corporate Rate Tax: The corporate tax rate would be slashed from 35 to 15 percent, a pretty huge cut.
Overall it's not even likely that this plan will pass, but if the proposed changes confuse you, here's a simplified breakdown of who will benefit most from the changes.
Major corporations: The corporate tax rate cut is a huge one. Currently, 15% is the lowest bracket for businesses, so this tax cut would lower taxes significantly for nearly all businesses that earn more than $50,000 a year. Of course, the more lucrative the business, the bigger the savings. For example, if a business earns over about $18 million, they are now taxed at a 35% rate schedule. The new plan would reduce that to more than half, at just 15%.
Individuals in the highest tax brackets: Similarly, since the plan proposes to drop the top tax rate from 39.6 percent to 35 percent, individuals in those brackets would see major savings. Additionally, as the New York Times points out, high-income earners would save even more because the plan wants to get rid of a 3.8% tax that's used to fund the Affordable Care Act. That tax applies to investment income over $250,000 (for married couples).
Individuals who inherit more than $5.45 million: With the current system, you can pass on up to $5.45 million without paying an estate tax. But anything above that amount is taxed at 40%. Trump's plan proposes to eliminate this altogether. Bloomberg crunched some numbers and estimated that Trump's own estate would save over half a billion dollars, estimating his net worth at $3 billion.
While the rest of us would see some tax relief, it's hard to say how much, since the plan doesn't include any income thresholds for the new tax brackets. But it's clear that the most significant changes are the tax cuts from the top—the wealthiest corporations and individuals.

Labhpur triple murder: Mukul Roy's anticipatory bail petition faulty, rejected by HC

KOLKATA: The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday dismissed an anticipatory bail prayer of BJP leader Mukul Roy in connection with the Labhpur triple murder case, owing to a defect in the petition.
In a supplementary charge sheet filed before a Birbhum district court last week, Roy has been implicated by the West Bengal Police in the murder case of three brothers in 2010, along with TMC MLA Manirul Islam who has joined the saffron party a few months back.
Roy's lawyer Subhasish Dasgupta said a fresh petition seeking anticipatory bail in the case will be filed on Wednesday.
While Roy's name came up for the first time in the case, that of Islam who joined the saffron camp earlier this year reappeared in the supplementary charge sheet after it had been dropped from the previous one filed in 2014.
The supplementary charge sheet was filed on Saturday after the Calcutta High Court on September 4 directed the district police to further investigate the murders of the three brothers at Labhpur in Birbhum district.
On June 4, 2010, Dhanu Sheikh, Kotan Sheikh and Turak Sheikh were murdered at Labhpur.
The victims' family lodged a complaint accusing 52 people including Manirul Islam, who had then switched from the Left Front constituent Forward Bloc to the Trinamool Congress.
His name had been dropped from the final chargesheet in 2014, after the victim's family members told the court that Islam had been named in the FIR by mistake.
However, Zarina Biwi, the victims' mother, later filed a petition in the high court claiming that she was forced to state that Islam was not involved in the case in her statement under Section 164 of CrPC.

Q: JavaScript - detecting if user is browsing the internet using Fullscreen mode I don't want to open my site in fullscreen mode (as it's not possible without using Flash) or to open it in 'kiosk mode'.
I want to ask the user to press F11 on his/her keyboard to turn the browser into fullscreen mode. And I want to know if he/she did it. Is there a way to determine if the current window is being browsed in fullscreen mode?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

A: You could play with screen.width/height and document.body.clientWidth/Height but I've never tried...

A: This works for me, in firefox 3.6, at least:
function is_fullscreen()
{
    return window.outerWidth == screen.width && window.outerHeight == screen.height;
}

I suggest you confirm that's the behaviour you want in Firefox, then test it in other browsers. If other browsers fails, you'll need to investigate how their implementations of those properties differ; I have a bad feeling they will.
Update: It certainly doesn't work in IE7.

If you wish to know love, you have only to cruise along the Queen's Necklace in Mumbai. The city's traffic stagnates the peoples otherwise bustling routine, leaving them with little choice but to observe life along the boardwalk. Adolescents huddle together as though desperately channeling reverse mitosis. A girl in slacks hugs a backpack to her chest trying not to cry, while beside her leans an animated boy with knitted brows and a hiccuping line of excuses.
Here is a pundit, dressed in orange robes and no shoes. His walk is slower, like the inertia of someone with a desire to move but with nowhere to go. Content, even and especially in that. The lights turn green but cars remain in farcical pursuit, this time entertained by two furtive glances. She is old, gracefully so; and he stands tall with all the dignity of an aged tree. They don't hold hands, but touch pinkies instead; starkly contrasting the lip locked lovers but a few paces ahead.
And further down, two little girls, both with platted hair, sit with their backs to the city and their sights to the sea. They are quiet, noticeably so. The desire to join them ebbs at your insides; to share in the silence that pays tribute to the profound beauty before them. But then a gear is changed, an engine revved; and you know you must leave the children to their childhood.
As the traffic clears, you spill forward like loose beads on a spacious thread. A flickering thought; how quickly it all goes. Like the tide, what flows in abundance at your feet today, might tomorrow be something completely anew.


Galveston civic leaders planned on building the Hotel Galvez in 1898 after a fire destroyed another large hotel (the Beach Hotel) on Galveston Island. After the Hurricane of 1900, the plans accelerated in order to draw tourists back to the island. The hotel was designed by Mauran, Russell & Crowell of St. Louis, Missouri using a combination of Mission Revival and Spanish Revival styles. The hotel opened in June 1911 at a cost of $1 million.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 4, 1979.

It's never too early for parents to start talking about money with their children. In fact, you might be surprised by how young of an age children become aware of things they want some of which can be costly. Kids are interested in toys and clothes that their friends have or that they see advertised. As a parent, you want your children to understand the value of these items as well as the value of the money they cost. This is why it is important for parents to teach their children the value of saving at an early age.
During the month of August, MSUFCU is encouraging youth and their families to "Be Credit Union Strong." By following these five tips, your young children will become money savvy in no time.
Share your financial wisdom. Even if you don't think you know everything about money management, you still have more experience than your kids and will be able to pass on what you've learned. Start by having your children help you choose a type of cereal to buy based on the current sales or coupons you have to use at your local grocery store. Learning to make choices early on that result in savings will help them to become more money-conscious.
Match the lessons to your children's age. With kindergarteners, for instance, begin by explaining the different types of coins and dollars that exist, followed by the ways to save them. When they have received birthday money or have earned money from chores, try having them put their earned coins in a piggy bank. Show them how their savings has grown each month by scheduling time to count the amount of money in their bank with them. When kids are in elementary and middle school, they develop a better understanding of how much a dollar will buy and how to save for short-term goals. Help them understand by differentiating between their needs and wants, and explaining how saving money from chores can help them reach their goals of buying something they have had on their wish list. As kids move into high school, you can expand their financial responsibilities to include paying for some of their own clothing, entertainment and gas when they use the car. Encourage them to get a summer job, and help them manage their own checking account.
Let kids manage money on their own. When everything they want and need is given to them, kids can have a hard time understanding the value of money. When they have to use their own money, however, it may change their mindset about whether or not they really need that new toy or gaming system. An allowance is the best hands-on tool for children who are too young to earn money with a job, and will teach them financial responsibility at an early age.
"To make the connection between work and pay, let children earn extra money by performing extra jobs around the house, such as taking out the trash or recycling, mowing the lawn or washing the car. Avoid giving them money for basic household chores that they're expected to do anyway, such as doing the dishes and making their beds," said Deidre Davis, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at MSUFCU.
Show kids the value of saving. Piggy banks are helpful when teaching children how to save, or you could open savings accounts for them at your financial institution. Kids may not understand that it takes planning and saving to be able to make large purchases or go on a family vacation, but encouraging them to start saving when they're young will help them build a savings nest for the future. Teaching them these skills early on will also create awesome habits and help them to begin to understand the big picture of saving.
Use everyday situations as learning opportunities. Putting money management into practice with everyday situations is the best way to teach your children positive saving habits. For example, if your 13-year-old wants a new video game system, use that opportunity to explain savings initiatives and goals. Children can learn when they're young that money doesn't grow on trees. "Having to save for big purchases will help them understand the value of their hard work and money,'' said Davis.
MSUFCU is inviting youth members and their families to be a part of their annual Kids' Day celebration on Saturday, August 6, 2016, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at MSUFCU Headquarters in East Lansing. Children and their families will enjoy giant inflatables, prizes, crafts such as creating your own superhero mask, free lunch, and much more! For registration details, visit msufcu.org.

Last year there were over 90,000 photos tagged with #fromwhereidrone and I am happy to share that this year on Instagram there are now over 400,000 photos. How cool is that?!
In honor of this huge milestone I've compiled the top 60 most beautiful, dynamic, creative and engaging drone photos of 2017 from the #fromwhereidrone community.
This list came about based on several engagement and community factors for photos that were posted to the @fromwhereidrone social channels, like how much a photo was liked, commented on, and shared by others on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. I did this using the stat information websites Iconosquare & Socialbakers.
Thanks to these amazing drone photographers and the thousands of others on Instagram that use the #fromwhereidrone hashtag everyday to share their drone work and inspire us all to new heights!
I can't wait to see what you all create in 2018! So don't forget to tag your work with #fromwhereidrone!
