Offshore wind in the Netherlands
Bid to put wind energy at the heart of Rotterdam
With offshore wind power, we can decarbonize industry, electrify mobility and much, much more. Read on for how our bids in the Netherlands could put this renewable energy at the centre of a powerful, digital-rich integrated energy system of the future
🕒 5 min read | 📖 Feature
There's a saying in Rotterdam: "Geen woorden, maar daden." Translated, it means "actions say more than words" and it reflects the hands-on attitude of this vibrant, multicultural seaport. In other words, the city and its people like to get things done.
A glance at Rotterdam's history quickly reveals this motto in action. From the huge post-war infrastructure programme, to the more recent construction of the world's largest floating building that rises with the harbour tides to address the impact of climate change. Indeed, Rotterdam is a city with a reputation for reinvention in the face of challenge. Now, this coastal powerhouse is at it again, with big ambitions to become a zero-emission port by 2050.
bp is ready to help the Rotterdam region and the Netherlands as a whole take important steps towards realizing their low carbon ambitions.
That's where our two offshore wind bids come in.
Find out more about what we're planning if successful
"Delivering a net zero future is about much more than just generating renewable power offshore. It's about creating an integrated energy system with renewables at its heart."
Anja-Isabel Dotzenrath, bp's executive vice president of gas and low carbon energy
Integrating energy systems
If successful with our bid for HKW Site VII, bp will build and operate a major project integrating the potential combined 1.4GW of offshore wind generating capacity with a series of additional clean energy investments in the Netherlands of up to €2 billion.
At our refinery, for example, we have plans for new facilities to make around 50,000 tonnes of green hydrogen every year, meeting the refinery's energy demands and supporting the production of sustainable aviation fuel. We'd also install a new e-boiler to remove more emissions.
We aim to take this wind to the wheel, with plans to deploy 80 new flexible electric vehicle charging stations with battery storage, and to install 99 forecourt battery-built-in electric chargers and two logistics hubs in the Rotterdam region. In addition to the EV hardware, we'll add digital and artificial intelligence tools to help match supply of energy with the demand by, for example, encouraging customers and businesses to charge when it is windy.
"Our whole strategy is about using our skills, technology and experience to create integrated solutions that increase the quantity of lower-carbon energy available within the wider system," says Anja-Isabel. "These bids are all about reimagining the way we use our existing assets and strengths to help Rotterdam achieve its ambitions."
They would also add to the growing portfolio of low carbon energy projects in the Netherlands – including our partnership with leading hydrogen company HyCC to develop H2-Fifty, a 250MW green hydrogen plant at the Port of Rotterdam.
Local champion
Karen De Lathouder, chief executive of bp Netherlands, agrees. Born and raised in the Netherlands, she is incredibly passionate about the impact that winning these bids could have on the local area. "This is a local partnership developed in Rotterdam for Rotterdam," she explains. "That's a really exciting prospect."
bp has been operating in Rotterdam for more than 50 years, finding innovative ways to turn crude oil into essential fuel supplies at our refinery. And for the past five years, we've been upgrading and adapting our existing infrastructure to make sure we're ready to process lower-carbon fuels, such as hydrogen and biofuels.
"I think a lot of people still associate bp with traditional heavy industry," says Karen. "But we're changing and we're ambitious in our own net zero goals. Winning bids for projects like HKW is essential to realize that ambition. Only then can we demonstrate – through actions, not words – that we have the expertise, facilities and passion to help create new, more sustainable sources of energy for cities and regions like Rotterdam and the Netherlands."
Eco innovation
Our proposal for HKW Site VI includes creating a project that aims to demonstrate a step-change in eco-innovation in the southern North Sea, which is home to some of Europe's richest populations of fish, seabirds and marine mammals.
As part of this bid, we're committed to investing nearly €75 million in a new eco-innovation hub that would use the latest technology to monitor bird and bat flight paths to avoid collisions with turbines. We will also use cutting-edge sensor and data analytics technology to monitor and manage our noise levels on North Sea mammals. And we'll install monitoring systems that track chemical and biological data to measure the impact of offshore wind farms on the ecosystem.
The ecological work will be supported by bp's supercomputing technology, with partners gaining access to our Center for High-Performing Computing (CHPC) in Houston. The CHPC supports digital innovation across bp to help us work faster and safer, and can provide valuable computing power to the HKW sites. And it's a lot of power: the CHPC can perform 21 quadrillion operations per second. To translate, it can complete in one hour a problem that would take a laptop nine years. It also has enormous storage capacity, equivalent to 90,000 512-gigabyte iPhones, or more than 3,000 times the amount of information in the US Library of Congress – the world's largest library.
Digital twin for the win
Innovation is essential when it comes to developing new sources of sustainable energy, and, unsurprisingly, the government of the Netherlands has placed significant emphasis on the topic as part of the HKW bid process.
Our digital team has big ideas on how to use big data to create more efficient, integrated energy systems. If our bids are chosen, we'll use our experience in creating 'digital twins' (exact computer-generated replicas) of our oil and gas assets to create a digital model of all the physical assets, including the offshore wind farm. These models will be accessible via a digital energy platform to stakeholders across the value chain, including production, consumption and academia.
Our digital solution is an ambitious project that aims to replicate at scale (1/20th) the current demand on the Dutch power market. Integrating digital, physical and commercial assets would be an important first step towards smarter energy management, with data from energy market players, transmitters and end consumers brought together in one place. The result? Smarter energy decisions to match the demand for power with HKW supply.
"Digitalization is front and centre of our integrated energy system offer," says Yorik Tisseau, business development originator in offshore wind and a member of the project team. "Each constituent part of an energy system is understood – we can do hydrogen, electric vehicle charging, and make sustainable fuels – but the magic really happens when data is unlocked for the design and optimization of the whole integrated energy system and to foster further innovation and partnerships in the future.
"At bp, we believe a successful integrated energy system will require an open and collaborative approach – one that we have deeply embedded throughout these bids."
Meet the bid team: Cristina Ayala
It's fair to say that Cristina Ayala is driven by a strong sense of purpose. As an engineer, there is nothing she loves more than solving problems and, throughout her career in refining and energy supply, she always looked for the projects that help to increase sustainable use of resources and improve energy efficiency.
But in September 2021, she realized a long-held ambition – to work in renewables. Cristina is a member of bp's 250-strong HKW bid team, and over the past eight months, she helped to create a vision for an integrated energy system with renewables at its heart.
Working with experts from bp across mobility, cities and venturing, as well as digital science and other engineers, has opened Cristina's eyes to how much bp can achieve when everyone has a common goal.
"Joining the bid team has been such a rewarding experience," she explains. "I'm part of a big multi-disciplinary team, but if we're successful in winning these permits, then the personal impact I have had here is orders of magnitude larger than anything else I've experienced in my career.
"I think that shows the strength of bp. It's been an incredible few months, with some long hours, but I am proud of our proposals and what we've achieved together in a very short space of time."

Legislation against FGM in North America
Performing FGM is a criminal offence in Canada. The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) indicates that reporting to appropriate child welfare protection services is mandatory when it is suspected that a female child has been subjected to FGM or is at risk of being subjected to the practice (Canadian Paediatric Society, 2019).
The US has a federal law against FGM, the Stop FGM act, which was recently signed (January 2021) and reinforced the previous 1996 federal law criminalising the practice. The new Stop FGM act empowers federal authorities to prosecute people who carry out or conspire to carry out FGM and increases the maximum prison sentence from five to 10 years. The law also strengthens the definition of FGM and specifically states that parent or, guardians who consent to having their daughters undergo FGM violate the law. (Equality Now, 2021, interview Mariya Taher, 2021)
As of September 2021, 40 out of 50 states also have specific state laws against FGM. Currently, 10 states have no law, namely Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, New Mexico, Nebraska, Mississippi, Alabama, Maine and Connecticut. Moreover, according to Sahiyo all state laws are not comprehensive in that they do not always include measures such as awareness -raising, training of professionals and care for survivors. Sahiyo estimates that currently only six or seven state laws are comprehensive. (Mariya Taher, 2021)
As a part of the 2021 thematic discussion the CoP met with Mariya Taher, Executive director and co-founder of Sahiyo, and NGO that works mainly (but not only) with Asian communities living in the US, affected by FGM. We discussed the US Federal and State laws against FGM and their implementation. Mariya explained why it is so important to have state laws against the practice, in addition to the federal Stop FGM act. She also gave us some insight in the country's first case in 2018, when a doctor was charged for having performed FGM on girls in Michigan – and why this case was finally ruled unconstitutional. Watch the video-interview with Mariya Taher below.
On the Equality Now website you can also find an overview of the anti-FGM legislation in the US, State by State as well as the history of laws and policy against FGM in the country.

Q: OpenCV Python border removal preprocessing for OCR I am currently working on a project where I need to process an image for OCR. I have filters set and in place to make the OCR's job as easy as possible, but there is one aspect of the image that I cannot figure out how to fix. In the included image you can see the text that I am trying to read ("PRTraining Tissue...") and there is a black border around the image that needs to be removed in order for my skew correction code to work. Is there any easy way to quickly fill in this black border with white without affecting the text?
Unfiltered Image:

Filtered Image:

I have already written some code to remove the majority of the background, but large black spots still remain as a border. The included code is my image cropping script that removes the majority of the images black border and attempts to isolate the text as much as possible, but unfortunately, it still leaves quite a significant amount of black that messes with my skew correction script.
def boarderRemoval(img):
    """
    Takes in a numpy array and crops the image down to isolate the text (Still leaves a small black border that varys from image to image\n
    Vars:\n
    - img <- numpy array of the label\n
    Returns:\n
    - Cropped down image with smaller black borders
    """
    contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(img, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
    cnt = contours[0]
    x,y,w,h = cv2.boundingRect(cnt)
    correctedImage = img[y: y + h, x: x + w]

    return correctedImage

A: Starting from your filtered image, here's a simple approach

*

*Convert image to grayscale and find contours

*Draw contours onto a mask

*Invert mask

*Bitwise-or with original image

After converting to grayscale, we find the main contour that we want to keep and draw this section onto a mask. Afterwards, we invert the mask to get this image which represents the desired border section to fill in white

Now we simply cv2.bitwise_or() with the original image to get our result

import cv2
import numpy as np

image = cv2.imread('1.png')
gray = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
mask = np.zeros(image.shape, dtype=np.uint8)

cnts = cv2.findContours(gray, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
cnts = cnts[0] if len(cnts) == 2 else cnts[1]

cv2.fillPoly(mask, cnts, [255,255,255])
mask = 255 - mask
result = cv2.bitwise_or(image, mask)

cv2.imshow('mask', mask)
cv2.imshow('result', result)
cv2.waitKey(0)

Andreas Mühlfeld (* 8. Juli 1961 in Berlin-Ost) ist ein deutscher Tischtennisspieler. Er gehörte in den 1980er Jahren zu den besten Spielern der DDR und gewann dreimal hintereinander die DDR-Meisterschaft im Einzel.

Nationale Erfolge
Bei den nationalen Meisterschaft der DDR gewann Andreas Mühlfeld insgesamt acht Titel. Von 1985 bis 1987 wurde er dreimal in Folge DDR-Meister im Einzel. Den Doppelwettbewerb gewann er 1983 (mit Bernhard Thiel) sowie 1988 und 1989 (mit Michael Rosonsky). Im Mixed holte er 1988 und 1989 (jeweils mit Gabriele Oerlicke) den Titel. Mit Platz 2 musste er sich mehrfach begnügen: im Einzel 1981, 1984 und 1990, im Doppel 1981 und 1985 (mit Bernhard Thiel) sowie 1989 im Mixed (mit Gabriele Oerlicke).

Mühlfeld spielte für die DDR-Vereine BSG Turbine Gaswerke Berlin-Köpenick (zusammen mit seinem Bruder Henri) und nach Umbenennung BSG Turbine Energiekombinat Berlin. 1991 wechselte er zum TTC Düppel Berlin, später zum Finower TTC und Tennis Borussia Berlin (2007). Bis zur Spielzeit 2013/2014 gehörte er zum Kader vom TTC Börde Magdeburg. In der Spielzeit 2014/15 spielt er in der 2. Mannschaft der Füchse Berlin in der Oberliga Nord-Ost.  Nach einer Saison in der Verbandsliga Berlin (bei seinem mittlerweile in Köpenicker SV Ajax umbenannten Stammverein) spielte Mühlfeld ab 2016/2017 zwei Saisons in der Verbandsoberliga Ost des NTTV beim Cottbuser Tischtennis-Team. Im Anschluss wechselte er zum TTC Börde Magdeburg. Dort spielt er in der Saison 2020/21 im hinteren Paarkreuz der 1. Mannschaft in der Oberliga Mitte (5. Liga). Nach wie vor weist er eine positive Spielbilanz auf und gehört zu den erfahrensten und erfolgreichsten Spielern seiner Altersklasse in Deutschland.

International
Da sich die DDR im Tischtennis ab 1972 international abkapselte, hatte Andreas Mühlfeld keine Gelegenheit, sich international zu profilieren. Nach der Wende nahm er 1990 in Göteborg für die DDR im Mannschafts-,  Einzel- und Doppelwettbewerb an der Europameisterschaft teil.

Q: Silence specific Exception I have a lot of throw new NotImplementedExceptions() throughout my whole application. For now I want to silence them and to show a custom Message Dialog instead.
For catching them I'm using:
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FirstChanceException += (sender, eventArgs) =>
{
     if(eventArgs.Exception is NotImplementedException) {
        return;
     }
}

But the problem is that the exception is still threw.
How can I silence the throw when I catch this type of Exception within this piece of code?

A: It sounds like what you want to do is to do something nicer than exploding when a method you haven't implemented is invoked.  I don't believe that is possible using AppDomain.FirstChanceException or the related UnhandledException.  There's a good answer here that talks a bit about why simply suppressing exceptions is undesirable.
What you could do instead is use something besides raising an exception to mark methods as not implemented, like calling a helper that displays your message, when you haven't implemented something yet.  You could use #if pragmas or the ConditionalAttribute to switch to actually throwing exceptions in non-DEBUG builds, if that's desirable.  It's not that uncommon to use helpers for throwing exceptions anyway (see for example ThrowHelper in the BCL, or Throw in one of my own projects), as there are some benefits to avoiding throws.
This would look like:
public void UnImplementedMethod()
{
  // rather than "throw new NotImplementedException("some message")"
  MyHelper.NotImplemented("some message");
}

// ....

static class MyHelper
{
  [Conditional("DEBUG")]
  public static void NotImplemented(string msg)
  {
#if DEBUG // can use whatever configuration parameter
      MessageBox.Show("Not Implemented: "+ msg);
#else
      throw new NotImplementedException(msg);
#endif
  }
}

You can use generic parameters to handle unimplemented methods that have non-void returns, though you have to decide what to actually return if you don't throw an exception.  With this pattern you can do whatever you'd like, and still easily find places that haven't been implemented.

Motor Vehicle Bill Amendment 2016
Motor Vehicle Bill Amendment 2016 - Here's What You Need to Know
India has the highest frequency of traffic collisions in the world. According to a National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) report, more than 135,000 traffic collision-related deaths occur in India, every year. Despite strict laws on traffic, road safety and speed limits, the occurrence of accidents and casualties has not been controlled.
According to statistics, every year around 5 lakh road accidents are reported in India, which results in 1.5 lakh casualties. In the wake of such a dismal situation in the country, there has been an urgent need for a while to uplift the road safety standards in the country.
To address these road safety issues, the Union Cabinet of India has approved the Motor Vehicle (Amendment) Bill 2016. The amendments in the law deal with issues related to drunk driving, driving under the influence of alcohol, vehicle insurance, accidental compensation, etc.
What is the Motor Vehicle Bill Amendment 2016?
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways set up a group of 18 Transport Ministers of the States to propose changes to the existing Motor Vehicle Act. The new amendment brings in changes on 68 of 223 sections of the Motor Vehicle Bill to improve safety for commuters, with a severe increase in penalties for violation. With the enforcement of the amendments to the existing laws, the Government aims to reduce the accidents and mortalities by 50% in the coming five years.
How does the Motor Vehicle Bill Amendment 2016 affect you?
For medium passenger vehicles, the fine for over-speeding will increase from INR 400 to INR 2,000.
In the case of drunk driving, the fine will increase from INR 2,000 to INR 10,000.
For riding without wearing a helmet, the fine will go up from INR 100 to INR 1,000 and the driving license will be confiscated for three months.
For driving without a license, the fine will shoot up to INR 5,000, from INR 500 now.
In case of driving without valid vehicle insurance, you can be fined INR2000, which was earlier INR 1000.
Fine for talking on a mobile phone while driving has been increased from INR 1,000 to INR 5,000.
The compensation payable to the accidental victims has also been increased. For hit-and-run accidental cases, the compensation will increase from INR 25,000 to INR 2 lakh. However, in case of death from a road accident, the Bill puts a cap on the maximum claim at INR 10 lakh (INR 5 lakh for grievous hurt) from insurance companies.
For processing insurance claims, the bill has proposed specific timelines as well. Insurance companies will have to pay INR 5 lakh within one month of the accident, to the family of accident victims.
For the cases of road deaths due to engineering faults or potholes, the contractor will have to pay a penalty of INR 1lakh.
If an auto company is found manufacturing faulty vehicles or misrepresenting emission norms, it will have to pay a fine up to INR 100 crore. In such a case, customers will be offered the option to either get their money back or opt for car replacement.
The Motor Vehicle Bill Amendment 2016 is a strong and welcome step as it helps assure commuters' safety through stricter road traffic laws; violation of which can lead to hefty fines and even imprisonment. The bill also puts emphasis on two-wheeler insurance as driving without two-wheeler insurance can attract double the fine as compared to earlier.
We believe that this amendment will open up the two-wheeler insurance policy market, and encourage people from hereon to ensure having two-wheeler insurance. In addition to this, no differentiation would now be made between private and public vehicles. What's important now is that we as citizens play our part in putting this amendment to practice, and make our roads a better place to drive for ourselves and for others.
**To understand exactly about the policy coverage, exclusions etc read the Policy Wordings carefully.**
Here are the importance of motor vehicle insurance you must know.

Catalyzing Newport would like to thank reporter Sean Flynn at the Newport Daily News for his wonderful article about our initiative and upcoming events for Jake Dunagan's residency June 16 – 21 in Newport. Readers can access the direct link to the article here.
Inside Neill Coffey's former garage at the site of the city's historic spring is a red stripe around the walls of the service area that looks like a hydrological line to Nick De Pace, who teaches architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design.
Coincidentally, it turns out the stripe is about the height of flood waters if sea levels were to rise a projected 5 feet, combined with a storm surge similar to the one that hit the city in 2012 during Superstorm Sandy, and a high tide.
De Pace is leading a design team to create a pop-up exhibit at the garage called "Mayor's Office, 2061," which will be open to the public on Saturdayfrom 6-8 p.m., and on Sunday from 2-6 p.m.
The exhibit will illustrate a piece written by a visiting futurist, Jake Dunagan, who lives in Austin, Texas, and teaches at the California College of Art. He explores what Newport might be like to live and work in 45 years from now, in the year 2061. He places himself in the future and looks back.
While in the city later this week and early next week, Dunagan will talk about concepts for thinking more effectively about the future, and the need for raising our collective foresight capacity. Human civilization will be dealing with unprecedented volatility and complexity during the coming generations, he says.
He will give a lecture with the title, "The Future as Cognitive Prosthetic," at Rosecliff, 548 Bellevue Ave., on Monday from 4—6 p.m. Seating is limited, so attendees must respond to adrian@rihumanities.org to reserve a spot.
The exhibit at Coffey's garage andDunagan's short-term residency here, Thursday through Tuesday, is being sponsored by Catalyzing Newport, an initiative overseen by the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities and funded by a grant from the van Beuren Charitable Foundation.
The Catalyzing Newport steering committee includes Salve Regina University, the Preservation Society of Newport County, the Newport Art Museum, the Rhode Island Historical Society, the Redwood Library and Athenaeum, the Newport Restoration Foundation and the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
SueEllen Kroll, director of grants and strategic partnerships at the Council for the Humanities, said the purpose of the initiative is to bring local organizations together so they can work on problems facing the community.
For example, Catalyzing Newport was behind the "First Light Funeral" held at the Newport Art Museum on April 14 to draw attention to the plight of Newport's beech trees, which are dying of old age and disease and being felled. A large beech tree at the museum had to be removed.
The Newport Spring Leadership Committee, which purchased the garage site to preserve the area around the historic spring as public open space, gave permission to the groups to use it for the pop-up exhibit.
De Pace's design team working on Coffey's garage includes designer Chantal Birdsong; Jeremy Radtke, a digital content producer for the RISD Museum; Jed Hancock-Brainerd, a theater artist; Rupert Nesbitt, artist; and builder Kelly Orr.
They are converting former owner Neil Coffey's office into a mayor's office from 2061, which is imagined as a mobile unit. The former garage area will have a "hydrometer" that will show on 1-foot marks which buildings and landmarks in the city would be flooded as the sea and storm surges rise to those levels.
De Pace met with MelissaBarker, the city's geographical information systems coordinator, to illustrate the different levels based on Federal Emergency Management Agency flood plain maps. Currently, a location is in the federal flood plane if it is 18 feet above mean sea level, or lower.
The red stripe inside the garage is about 4½ feet above the floor and could have been where wainscoting previously protected the walls from grease and grime. Waters would have to rise to 34 feet above sea level to reach the red line, so there would have to be the combination of storm surge and tide with projected sea-level rise to reach that level.
At the Seamen's Church Institute next to Bowen's Wharf, that flood level would reach to the frescoes in the chapel on the second floor, De Pace said.
Poet Kate Schapira and artist Adeline Mitchell worked with students at Rogers High School to create terrariums that will act as a biological library of forms chosen to preserve in the possible future. Students also created other "artifacts" from 2016, such as poems, writings and dioramas.
Organizers have begun constructing inside the garage a wooden structure with box areas for the different exhibit items.
What Dunagan has written has a serious message, but it reads like science fiction, since it is written from the perspective of the future.
"After the 54th straight warmest month in history occurred in December 2048 (with Newport's own Kyle Farmer winning his third straight North Pole yacht race), another superstorm was bearing down on the Northeast," Dunagan wrote.
After a future "Hurricane Iridiana" pushes the permanent water line all the way up to Thames Street by 2061, "another 27 buildings were designated for 'underwater preservation' protection," he wrote.

Early Life and Career
Born in Ughelli, Delta State, Brume first emerged at national level at the 2012 Nigerian Athletics Championships with former junior athletes Dakolo Emmanuel and Fabian Edoki. She placed sixth in the long jump, clearing over six meters. She also was the winner at the 18th National Sports Festival in Lagos. The following year she set a personal best of 6.53 m (21 ft 5 in) to place second nationally, behind Blessing Okagbare. She was one of the most successful athletes at the 2013 African Junior Athletics Championships: she won the long jump title, took silver in the triple jump, and was part of Nigeria's winning 4×100 meters relay team. She also placed fourth individually in the 100 meters. Brume successfully defended her long jump title at the next edition of the African Junior Athletics Championships in Addis Ababa. This time, she was even more successful as she added the triple jump and 4 x 100 m relay title, and a bronze medal in the individual 100 meters to her collection.
In May 2014 she ran a 100 m best of 11.84 seconds then followed this with a long jump best and new African junior record of 6.60 m (21 ft 7+3⁄4 in) to win at the Warri Relays. She improved to 6.68 m (21 ft 10+3⁄4 in) at the Nigerian Championships to win her first national title. She was chosen for the discipline at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Athletics but, having flown to Eugene, Oregon just a day before competing, she performed poorly and was bottom of the qualifying. The Nigerian junior women relay team also did not fare well, being eliminated in qualifying.
Just five days later, she represented Nigeria at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Blessing Okagbare opted to compete in the sprints so Brume was Nigeria's sole entrant for the event. The 18-year-old excelled in the Commonwealth Games long jump, clearing 6.56 m (21 ft 6+1⁄4 in) in the final to win the gold medal. Brume dedicated her victory to Emmanuel Uduaghan, Delta State's governor who invested in track and field infrastructure and support in the region. Okagbare, who won a Commonwealth sprint double, was also a product of the system and Brume stated that she was inspired by the older athlete's achievements. As a result of her own medal feats, Brume was given an athletic scholarship to study in the United States, with local government support.
Having already secured the qualification standard for the Rio Olympics with her personal record jump in June 2016 at the Akure Golden League, Brume headed to Durban for the African Athletics Championships as the African leader in her event. She successfully defended her title from the previous championships.
Brume qualified for the Rio olympics long jump final as the third best athlete in her pool. This placed her in sixth position going into the final of the event. She eventually ended the competition in fifth place leaping a distance of 6.81 meters which was just 2 centimeters shy of her personal record which she had set earlier in the year.
Brume became double Turkish Universities champion at the Turkey Koç Fest Universities Sports Games, representing her university, Eastern Mediterranean University. She set a meeting record and African lead of 6.82 m at the first leg of the 2018 World Challenge series in Kingston Jamaica. This mark remained the best jump by an African athlete until the 2018 African Championships in Athletics in Asaba. There, she increased her African lean by a centimeter to win her third consecutive African senior title. She then represented Africa at the Ostrava Continental Cup where she placed fourth. 2018 also saw Brume defend her title at the 19th Nigerian National Sports Festival in Abuja, in a new festival record of 6.62 meters.
Brume has been shortlisted as a nominee in the StarQt Award in the Africa Sportswoman of the Year category. She is the only Nigerian athlete nominated in any category. The event was held in October in Johannesburg.
She became the African Games champion in the Long Jump on 29 August 2019. This was her first African games title. On 24 July 2019, in Erzurum, she improved her personal best to 6.96m despite a very strong headwind (−2.1 m/s). At the Turkish championships in Bursa on 4 August, she broke the 7-meter barrier for the first time in her career surpassing that mark twice in the competition. Her jump of 7.05 m (+ 0.9 m/s) ranks as the second best African performance in history. On 6 October, she won the bronze medal in the World Championships with a jump of 6.91m.
In July 2022, Ese Brume, Nigeria's representative at the World Athletics Championships (Women's Long Jump) has won the silver medal in the competition with a final leap of 7.02 metres in Eugene, Oregon.
Her win came just minutes after Tobi Amusan won a maiden World Championship gold for 100mH for Nigeria.
German Olympic champion Malaika Mihambo, won gold with a final leap of 7.12 metres and Brazil's Leticia Oro Melo took bronze with 6.89m.
Her parents are Mr and Mrs Brume, who are origin of Delta State.
Husband/ Boyfriend

Q: reverse a string recursively string rev(string s,int n,int st)
{
if(st==n||st>n)
{
    return s;
}
swap(s[st],s[n]);
rev(s,n-1,st+1);
return s;

}

st is 0 n is lenght-1 and s is string. I am trying to print the reverse of the string but I am not getting the answer.
like the sentence is "Geeks" the the output is "seekG"
actually my string is getting reverse but it is again getting back to normal after hitting the base case. How can I terminate my recursion once I have reached the base case.

A: Do not return the original string from the argument with two swapped chars. Return the final result. Replace
rev(s,n-1,st+1);
return s;

with
return rev(s,n-1,st+1);

if(st==n||st>n) better is if(st >= n)

Investigation //
The case for Australian modern slavery legislation
A contentious solution to a titanic problem
Art: Garnet Chan
by Zoe Stojanovic-Hill
Kevin Hyland, the UK's first Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, speaking in Sydney at an event held by the Lowy Institute on 30 May, has just an hour to unravel the nexus between globalisation, trade, human rights, law and order, and 'modern slavery.'
"In few other crimes are human beings used as commodities over and over again, for the gain of others." Hyland speaks emphatically, earnestly, as if he wants the audience to consider the weight of each word.
The day before he presented for the Lowy Institute, Hyland appeared before a Parliamentary Committee to make a case for introducing modern slavery legislation in Australia, modelled on the UK's Modern Slavery Act 2015.
What is 'modern slavery'? At the Lowy Institute event, Hyland defined modern slavery as "an umbrella term, covering a number of often related serious abuses, including forced labour, child slavery, and all forms of trafficking in persons, including of sexual exploitation, forced criminality, organ removals and domestic servitude." The term is intentionally anachronistic rhetoric, deployed in advocacy and policy circles for its shock value.
In February this year, the Attorney-General initiated a Parliamentary Inquiry into Establishing a Modern Slavery Act in Australia. The Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade has embarked on the gruelling process of raising an embryonic idea which, months or even years from now, could mature into an act.
"I am pretty confident that we can come up with strong recommendations that can gain multi-party support so we can actually proceed with legislation," Chris Crewther, the chair of the subcommittee leading the Inquiry, told Honi. "I imagine that you would probably be looking at around mid-2018 at the earliest before [legalisation] comes before Parliament."
The Inquiry held the first public hearing, featuring Kevin Hyland, last Wednesday and is currently[1] reading written submissions penned by concerned individuals and organisations, arguing that Australia should adopt aspects of the UK's Modern Slavery Act.
Australia is not looking to import the UK act word for word, because some of its provisions overlap provisions of Australian criminal law. Australia outlawed slavery in 1824 and incorporated slavey offences into the Commonwealth Criminal Code Act 1995 in 1999. Division 270 of the Criminal Code criminalises "slavery," defined as "the condition of a person over whom any or all of the powers attaching to the right of ownership are exercised," and "slavery-like conditions," such as servitude[2], forced labour and forced marriage. Division 271 criminalises debt bondage and trafficking offences, including organ trafficking.[3] The maximum penalty for a "slavery offence" – for treating a person like property, like an object to be bought and used and sold or discarded, as distinct from other forms of exploitation informally categorised as 'modern slavery' – is a 25-year jail sentence.[4]
However, a highly-praised provision of the UK act, for which there is no equivalent in Australian law, is Section 54 on supply chain transparency. Under UK law, a company with a turnover of over £36 million that does business in the UK has to publish an annual statement outlining the steps taken to ensure that its supply chains are not strung together by slave labour. This provision is not perfect – for example, due to a pesky loophole, British companies are not required to report on the supply chains of their wholly foreign owned subsidiaries that do not engage in commercial activity with the UK.
Last Monday the Federal Opposition pledged allegiance to the cause, declaring support for some sort of modern slavery legislation and announcing a policy that builds on provisions of the UK act. Labor's proposed policy aims to account for the lax reporting requirements of the UK act, such as the loophole that allows companies to fulfil their legal obligations by simply uploading an approved report, even if this report states that the company has not taken any steps to combat modern slavery in supply chains.
Participants in the Australian debate are touting the merits of other novel provisions of the UK act, such as the office of an Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, but the supply chain transparency provision has received a lot of attention because the idea is trending in the corporate world. For example, the submissions of Wesfarmers and Woolworths Ltd., Australia's two largest companies by revenue as of 2016, almost[5] exclusively focus on supply chain transparency. Modern slavery represents risk for investors, which amounts to risk for upper management; embracing a culture of corporate social responsibility represents reward. The Inquiry will prepare an interim report specifically addressing the supply chain term of reference in late August, reflecting the skewed focus of the debate.
Sally Irwin, CEO of the Freedom Hub, a small business that funnels 100% of its profit into rehabilitating survivors of slavery, supports the move to hold transnational corporations accountable but feels like the focus on supply chains overlooks the fact that there are slaves in Australian communities, often working in the retail, hospitality and horticultural sectors.
"There's millions and millions of people in slavery overseas, it seems like a huge problem, but why should we wait until there's millions here before we do something? " Irwin asks.
Similarly, Anti-Slavery Australia, a legal research centre within the UTS Faculty of Law, highlights the need to improve slavery support services in Australia. For instance, Anti-Slavery Australia would like to disentangle the human trafficking visa program from the criminal justice process.
Under the current system, a formerly enslaved or trafficked person has to go through the Australian Federal Police to access the Support for Trafficked People program, a government-funded service administered by the Australian Red Cross. A victim without a valid visa can be granted a bridging visa,[6] which effectively entitles them to 45 days of emergency support. They may then be offered a more permanent visa[7] if they assist the AFP and in doing so, incur a risk that returning to their country of origin will put their life in danger.
"We would like to have more organisations being able to make referrals [to the Red Cross], rather than just the AFP," says Elizabeth Sheridan, a lawyer from Anti-Slavery Australia. "But also…if there is some sort of barrier that prevents you from assisting the police that, in compelling and compassionate circumstances, you would be able to access that permanent residency without having to assist the police."
"There is a myriad of reasons why people in this situation…choose not to go to the police," says Indika Chandrasekera, another Anti-Slavery Australia lawyer. "Threats against the victim's family, in their home country…The fear of being re-victimised during that process…Stigma…" Chandrasekera's list continues.
The overriding focus on supply chain transparency can largely be attributed to the influence of Andrew and Nicola Forrest. Andrew Forrest, founder and chairman of iron ore mining company Fortescue Metals Group and Australia's 6th richest person,[8] and his wife Nicola have channelled their wealth into setting the 'new abolitionist' agenda in Australia and abroad through their Walk Free Foundation.[9] The narrative propagated by the Foundation, encapsulated by their 2016 report, Harnessing the Power of Business to End Modern Slavery, has been criticised for representing big business as a class of latent superheroes, clumsily coming to terms with their own power, yet to don mask and cape. For example, in a 2015 essay Janie A. Chuang, Professor of Law at American University Washington College of Law, analyses how 'philantrocapitalists' have the money to 'solve' socioeconomic problems that stem from structural inequality, while simultaneously reinforcing structural inequality. The Foundation's narrative, in which big business needs to step into "the governance gap created by globalisation" to fix the "world's greatest evil" that is modern slavery, can be read as intentionally apolitical. According to Chuang, globalisation is presented as an exogenous force, rather than a system of governance designed to maximise the power of transnational corporate actors and delegitimise critique of the politics that went into the production of this system.
The Foundation may frame 'slavery as individual deviance' to eclipse the 'slavery as a structural problem' narrative, as Chuang claims; or the appeal to big business could be a realist attempt to work within the confines of an imperfect international system. Forrests' recent $400 million donation to charity, which Malcolm Turnbull described as "biggest single philanthropic gift in our history and the largest donation by living Australian," aimed to make corporations dwell on the adage about power and responsibility. Throwing your weight around is graceless, wield power with poise, the Forrests seem to say.
Chris Wright of the University of Sydney Business School, who specialises in supply chain and labour regulation,[10] welcomes supply chain transparency legislation but believes that "the single solution that would address these solutions in developing countries, in terms of monitoring companies,…is having a strong and independent trade union."
Australia will probably pass some form of modern slavery legislation in the future because, even if the term 'modern slavery' is bombastic, minimising the frequency and severity of extreme exploitation is a bipartisan political issue backed by an array of influential actors and, more significantly, many of those actors are overflowing with wealth.
[1]As of time of writing, the Parliament of Australia website states that the Inquiry is accepting submissions, but also states that the deadline for domestic submissions was 28 April and that the deadline for foreign submissions was 19 May. When Honi contacted Senator Fawcett's Parliament House office on 30 May Fawcett's office confirmed that, contrary to the conflicting information available on the Parliament of Australia website, the Inquiry is still accepting submissions.
[2] In legal-speak, "servitude" refers to a relationship in which the labourer feels like they cannot stop working or leave their place of work "because of the use of coercion, threat or deception" and because they are "significantly deprived of personal freedom in respect of aspects of his or her life other than the provision of labour or services."
[3] The states also have laws in place to tackle slavery and human trafficking but most criminals are prosecuted under Commonwealth law because trafficking often occurs between states and because Commonwealth law is more comprehensive, especially after a 2013 amendment categorised forced labour and forced marriage as "slavery-like conditions," broadened the definition of "coercion" and expanded the sexual servitude provision to include non-sexual forms of servitude.
[4] I could continue to pepper this piece with footnotes because the complexities of criminal law cannot fit into the space of a short article. If you would like to learn more but don't want to read the whole Criminal Code, head to the website of Anti-Slavery Australia, a division of the UTS Faculty of Law.

Former Vice President of the Ghana Football Association George Afriyie believes the hard work he put in during his time at the FA is the reason Kwesi Nyantakyi has risen to such monumental heights in the position.
The veteran football administrator was recently dismissed from his role as Vice President of the GFA as well as chairman of the Black Stars management committee with no specific reasons given.
Reports on the ground however revealed a strain in his relationship with FA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi over some financial disagreements as well as issues of loyalty gone sour.
Prior to his dismissal, he had announced at his 50th birthday, his will to contest the GFA Presidency in 2019, after the incumbent on three separate occasions insisted that seeking re-election isn't on the cards.
In the aftermath of his dismissal he has made a bold accusation that in 13 years as President of the GFA, incumbent Kwesi Nyantakyi has only watched a handful of Ghana Premier League matches due to a lack of interest.
He insists that with his dismissal, individuals will now see the FA boss for what he really is.
People like us were the ones moving from one league venue to the other.
It is the reason why he is so strong.
Now he has taken away one of the major pillars.
In 13 years he has not watched 40 league matches but he knows what goes on through us.
He also opened up about how his vote propelled Nyantakyi unto the FIFA Executive council in 2016.
Afriyie according to reports is putting together a campaign team as he prepares for the FA Presidency battle in 2019.

Wildwood Bushcraft runs a wide range of courses in beautiful ancient woodlands in Sussex. Various survival challenges and family bushcraft days are offered: alongside more specialist courses such as foraging and bushcraft cooking; carving and woodcraft; knots and cord making; plants used in bushcraft; a woodland nature day; and tracking foundation and navigation courses.
All courses are managed to encourage the sustainability of the natural resources within the woods. The majority are based in deciduous ancient woodland, typical of the High Weald, near Nutley on the southern edge of the Ashdown Forest, whilst survival weekends are staged in woodlands belonging to a private school near Lindfield. Both locations are beautiful, quiet tracts of broadleaved woodland with a variety of interesting wildlife, such as badgers, deer, foxes and rabbits.
Ashdown Forest is a stunning nearby place to visit, with its extensive open access heathland and cultural associations with the Winnie the Pooh stories of A.A. Milne. Other places well worth a visit are Wilderness Wood - a family-run, sustainably-managed working woodland at Hadlow Down - and Sheffield Park, the National Trust's magnificent landscape garden created by Capability Brown.

Police are investigating a Boxing Day hunt after video and photographs of a dying fox were released by a hunt saboteur group.
Devon County Hunt Saboteurs claim the footage was taken during the Eggesford Hunt at Place Farm, near Okehampton, on Wednesday, December 26.
The images show the fox with a deep wound on its side.
A video of a saboteur carrying the fox away from the scene can be seen on Devon Live.
Sabs have alleged the fox was killed in front of them.
A spokesman for Devon County Hunt Saboteurs said: "When our sab team arrived the fox was barely alive, with its guts hanging out, and died in the arms of a young female saboteur."
Since fox hunting was outlawed in 2004, pursuit of live animals has been replaced by trail hunting, which sees hounds and riders follow a pre-laid scent such as fox urine.
Activists have claimed these events can effectively allow banned practices to continue, if trails are laid near where foxes are likely to be.
For those caught breaking the law, an unlimited fine is currently the most severe punishment available. In order for a prosecution to succeed, a person must be shown to be intentionally hunting an animal.
Labour is currently promising to toughen up the ban on hunting with dogs in England and Wales, saying it will consult on jailing those caught breaking the law.
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police said: "Today we have been made aware of an incident near Okehampton on Boxing Day involving allegations of offences against the Hunting Act.
"The matter is being investigated and police would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident.
"We would encourage witnesses to any offences to share unedited footage and images with us, and to be prepared to give statements to allow us to investigate any allegation of criminality.
"Please contact police via 101@dc.police.uk or by phone on 101, quoting log number 0393 of 27/12/18.
"We are aware of the sensitivities and the high-emotions that are linked to these incidents. All allegations connected with hunts are assessed and investigated appropriately and we work with our communities who have an interest in hunt activity as part of routine policing.
"We wish to reassure the public that we will act impartially and promptly to any incident reported to us, and would urge anyone with relevant information to contact Devon and Cornwall Police via 101@dc.police.uk or via 101."

EU's top court bars sexual orientation tests for asylum-seekers
The European Court of Justice has ruled that sexual orientation tests can't be used to rule on asylum applications. Hungarian immigration officials should not have put a Nigerian asylum seeker through psychological tests to determine whether he was telling the truth that he was gay.
Hungarian immigration officials were wrong to make a Nigerian asylum applicant undergo psychological tests to determine whether or not he was gay, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled last Thursday.
The ruling effectively bans the testing of sexual orientation to determine the right to asylum, declaring it to be "disproportionate" and an invasion of "the most intimate aspects" of life.
The case in detail
The man, who was not named in the ruling, had made his application at a time of high immigration to Hungary from the Middle East and Africa. The right-wing government has been at the forefront of attempts, especially among former communist states in the east, to harden the European Union's frontiers against asylum seekers.
– The man made his claim for asylum in the southern city of Szeged in April 2015.
– His claim was that, as a homosexual man, he faced prosecution back home in Nigeria, where homosexuality is illegal and where the maximum penalty in some northern states is death by stoning.
– Hungarian authorities rejected the application based on psychological tests that required the man to draw a picture of a person in the rain and describe his perceptions of inkblots.
– The ECJ ruled that, though it is acceptable for authorities to seek expert opinions, these should be obtained in a way that is consistent with human rights standards.
'Disproportionate interference'
The ECJ ruled that "the performance of such a test amounts to a disproportionate interference in the private life of the asylum-seeker."
Judges at the Luxembourg court ruled that such interference is "particularly serious because it is intended to give an insight into the most intimate aspects of the asylum-seeker's life."
They also said the reliability of such assessments was, in any case, disputed. The court said authorities and courts could not "base their decision solely on the conclusions of an expert's report and must not be bound by them."
What is the situation in Nigeria?
Homosexuality is illegal in Nigeria. According to the Pew Global Attitudes Project, some 97 per cent of Nigerians believe homosexuality is an unacceptable way of life.
What status do homosexual people have in Hungary? Hungary has allowed same-sex sexual activity since 1962, relatively early compared with many countries that are now EU members. However, though Hungary allows same-sex unions, it does not recognize same-sex marriages or adoption by same-sex couples.

The United States now has over 80,000 infections and more than 1,000 deaths, marking a grim milestone and emphasizing Trump's failure to act.
As deaths and infections mount, our historic failure to stop the outbreak will become a dark lesson
Photo by Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images
The United States now has the highest number of coronavirus infections of any nation on the planet, The New York Times reports. Johns Hopkins tracker agrees. We now know for sure that our countrys response to the pandemic is a spectacular failure that has been exacerbated by an incompetent president who spent years sabotaging the governments ability to respond to the current crisis.
The World Health Organization may soon declare that the US is the new epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic. This outcome was never predetermined; even a Texas-based grocery chain outsmarted the US government with its own preparations for the disaster by following the obvious warning signs.
As of March 26th, more than 1,000 people have died in the US, and the spread of the virus continues to accelerate across the country.
Increase over yesterday in detected coronavirus cases. Hopefully, grouping things by region helps even out disparities in testing rates.
South: +32%Northeast (excluding NY): +30%Midwest: +27%West (excluding CA & WA): +23%New York: +20%California: +20%Washington: +11%
Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) March 25, 2020
Governors faced with mounting infections and deaths are begging for help, especially in New York, where cases are expected to overwhelm hospitals within days. Meanwhile, President Trump has suggested the country ought to get back to work by Easter, the governor of Mississippi is overturning social restrictions by local officials, and the lieutenant governor of Texas suggests our grandparents ought to die to restart the economy. America has failed to mount a coordinated and decisive response to save itself.
We dont need to know how bad its going to get to see Americas unique failure to act. Future generations can look to the history weve already made as a warning about what not to do when faced with an outbreak.
President Trump once said that when he was elected we would win so much that wed be sick of winning. As America leads the world in infections, were not sick of winning were sick from it.
The U.S. just overtook China as the country with the most confirmed coronavirus cases, making it the new epicenter of the pandemic.

Is Your Eye on the Right Networking Prize?
This is one of the most important networking lessons to understand and integrate. Thrusting a handshake at a person we don't know is the second-best way to meet that person. Being recommended by a person already credible to that individual is better.
Networking the Hard Way
I went to speak to a group of undergraduates, young people who'll be graduating this Spring. One week after my visit, they were set to attend a town/gown networking event with a group of local businesspeople.
"This will be a great opportunity for you to make some contacts, and practice your networking skills," I told them.
"I only hope," said one of the students, "that the nametags the businesspeople will be wearing, are large. If I can read a nametag from across the room, then I'll be able to quickly determine which businesspeople will be most deserving of my networking time."
That observation backed me up - and shut me up for a moment.
"I wouldn't worry too much about that," I finally said. "Any businessperson who has taken time out of his or her schedule to come and network with you students is worthy of your time. Every one of those people will give you a useful tip or two, and perhaps some ideas or leads for your job search."
"But," said another student,"I want to spend my networking time with the most high-level executives in the room - not some lady with her own consulting business or something." I gulped, seein' as how that description fits me pretty much to a tee.
"Ah, there's a misconception in your thinking, I fear," I said. "You guys may believe that sidling up to the Fortune 500 exec is the most potent networking you can do. I wouldn't be so sure."
"Why not?" asked a student. "If we can get five minutes with an executive, what could be better from a networking perspective?"
Effective Networking
"Here's what could be better," I replied. "Rather than introducing yourself to a big-company executive who'll meet fifty students this year and perhaps retain a memory of two of them, why not manage to be recommended to that same executive, or someone on his staff, by someone who can get that leader's ear? Someone who has credibility with that person, something that you, at this moment, do not?
Wouldn't you rather be recommended to Bill Gates by his best friend, who has become one of your biggest fans, than have three minutes of networking time with Bill directly?"
The students pondered that question. I guess you're right, they finally said. It's better to be recommended to a lofty person by a trusted colleague of his or hers, than to try to do the promotional work on your own, from left field.
So, how do we wend our way through the networking jungle, to the point where we'll be introduced to people who can help us?
We do it by letting go of the silly notion that only certain, lofty so-and-sos are worthy of our networking time.
We do it by jumping at the chance to have lunch or coffee with any businessperson who extends a networking hand - and by keeping the reciprocity principle firmly in our minds.
We grow our networks and our fan clubs by remembering that introductions are the fuel that allows networking to happen. We'll never meet, under our own steam (and wouldn't necessarily want to) every person who'll be instrumental in our job search.
We rely on the goodwill of our new and old friends to make kind introductions for us, and to tell the people who haven't already met us why we're worthy of THEIR time and attention.
"I think I get it," one student said to me as the workshop concluded. "I've had my eye on the wrong networking prize." Smart young fellow, that!

Kodak Black Proposes to Yung Miami in 'Christmas in Miami' Video
Lil Kodak is spreading love this Christmas.
After dropping his album Dying to Live earlier this month, Kodak Black spends "Christmas in Miami" in the video for his new song.
The romantic clip, shot at Santa's Enchanted Forest in Miami, co-stars Yung Miami aka Caresha of the City Girls. The couple shows off their chemistry, strolling through the nighttime carnival while holding hands. Kodak spits game to Miami as they cuddle up and play carnival games. He eventually gets down on one knee and proposes to her with a Ring Pop and later gifts her a Sniper Gang chain.
"Don't embarrass me, want you to marry me," he sings. "You all I want for Christmas."
"Christmas in Miami" does not appear on Kodak's new album Dying to Live, which became his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The set moved 89,000 equivalent album units in its first week.

Crete : Geography & Nature
Found 7 - Showing : 1 - 7
Sorting By proximity to Lato - Archaeological Site
Voulismeni Lake
Agios Nikolaos, Lassithi
at 5.8km (E)
Lake Voulismeni (Gr: Λίμνη Βουλισμένη) or just "the Lake" for the locals, is located at the centre of the town of Agios Nikolaos. It has a circular shape of a diameter of 137 m and depth 64 m. The lake connects to the harbour of the town by a channel dug in 1870.
A panoramic view of the lake can be seen from a small park situated above it. According to legend, the goddess Athena bathed in it. Every year at midnight turning to Orthodox Christian Easter day, the majority of the population of the town gathers around the lake to celebrate with fireworks, and firecrackers.
It was reported that the German army during their withdrawal from the area at WW2, disposed parts of their weaponry and/or vehicles into the deep lake.
A local urban legend has it that the lake is bottomless. That notion is potentially based on its impressively disproportional high depth compared to its width (64m depth on only 134m width) or/and on locals noticing disturbances at the surface or also the level of the water during the Santorini (Thera) earthquake of 1956. Because of the latter, many assume a possible geological relation of the two locations, but this claim has not been substantiated by known scientific surveys to date.
Selinari gorge
Selinari, Vrahassi
at 15.5km (NW)
Near the beautiful village of Vrahasi there is the imposing gorge of Selinari, formed by the mountain of Anavlohos (625 m) to the north and the mountain Fonias o Detis (818 m) to the south. The symbol of Crete, the Cretan wild goat (Agrimi or kri-kri) and the Griffon Vulture are two rare species that used to reside in the gorge. The authorities in Vrahasi intend to establish a center of protection of the local fauna and flora at the gorge of Selinari and to develop a wildlife station, to provide observation of the Griffon Vulture colony at the east side of the gorge of Selinari. The hunting is forbidden in an area covering 10 sq.km. around the gorge.
Sarakina gorge
Ierapetra, Lassithi
at 16km (SW)
A monument of natural beauty that attract a lot of local and foreign visitors. The gorge of Sarakina (GR: Σαρακίνα) is one of the most beautiful in Crete. Its steep, vertical walls in some parts reach a height up to 250 m. Its widest opening is no more than 15 metres while in some places it's so narrow that its sides seem to join each other. Its rich flora and fauna, the dittany, the wild birds that nest there, the running water make the route through the gorge a worthwhile experience.
Lassithi, Dikti Mountains
at 16.4km (W)
The Lassithi Plateau (GR: Οροπέδιο Λασιθίου, Oropedio Lasithiou), is a high endorheic plateau, located in eastern Crete, Greece on the mountain range of Dikti at an average altitude of 840 m, and in a distance of around 55km from Heraklion and 50km from Agios Nikolaos. The plateau is elliptical in shape with an E-W axis of 11km and the N-S of 7km.
The plateau of Lassithi is renowned for its exceptional agricultural produce, the thousands (almost 15000) windmills that used to be there in the past, its significant historical role and for the unique cave of Psychro also known as "Diktaion Andron".
Krassi Village
Pediada, Iraklion
at 18km (W)
Krassi is a small village 47 Km's from Iraklion and 17 km from Malia at an altitude of 600 m.asl, on the way to Lassithi plateau, and is administratively part of the Municipality of Malia. The village is one of the prettiest in Crete, with a lot of springs. Due to the free running water , it is covered with walnut trees, plane trees and all kinds of vegetation. Next to the spring in the middle of the village is one of the oldest and biggest plane trees in Crete (its root has a circumference of 22 meters!).
Diktaian Cave (Dikteon Antron)
Psychro, Lassithi Plateau
The cave of Psychro is one of the most important cult places of Minoan Crete. The excavators and several scholars identify the cave as the famous "Diktaian Cave", where Zeus was born and brought up with the aid of Amaltheia and the Kouretes, and which is connected with myths as this of the seer Epimenides who "slept" here, or the coupling of Zeus with Europa.
Viannos town & area
South east Iraklion
at 26.3km (SW)
Historical place with outstanding natural beauty, unspoiled villages and great beaches. The town of Ano Viannos is built amphitheatrically on the southern slopes of Dikti mountain at 560 m. above sea in a distance of 65km from Iraklion and 40km from Ierapetra. It preserves the traditional character with the narrow paved streets, the stone built houses - especially the "Plaka' quarter - the old kefeneios with tables under the plane trees and old churches such as Agios Georgios and Agia Pelagia with wall paintings dating back to the 14th century. There are a few accommodation facilities, banks, medical center, taverns, gas stations, shops etc. Ano Viannos is the seat of the municipality of Viannos.

When you have a four-legged family member, it's vital to develop a bath time routine that helps you and your pet bond. It can also be tough to keep your baby safe and comfortable while trying to get her clean. So, although a doggy bath may have conventionally consisted of a garden hose and a bucket filled with soapy water, many people now want to make a bathing area specifically for their furry family members.
It's a good idea to place this bath or shower within a garage, walk-out basement, screened patio, or mudroom, so your pet can be cleaned and dried before entering the rest of the house. An area with ceramic tile flooring is the most practical choice for dogs, as it's basically water-proof and scratch-proof.
A walk-in bath can be a good choice for big dogs and makes it easy to bathe them. However, a raised pet-washing station may be best for small pups. These designs can vary from a simple plastic molded shower tray to tiled spaces with glass doors depending on budgeting constrictions.
Hand-held shower heads can make bathing even easier, and adding a small lip around the edge can help keep water in. Additionally, a hand-held shower head can really help to protect his eyes and ears. Many dogs develop secondary ear infections from moisture getting into their ear canals, and shampoo should always be kept away from his eyes. Ideally, it's best not to lather his head, but if it must be done, hold his chin up and rinse the soapy water back toward his neck, rather than down over his face.
When bath time is over, towel dry your furry friend to keep him warm, especially in colder seasons. It's easy for him to get chilled when his skin and fur is wet, and he should never get to the point of trembling. With a little loving care, bath time won't have to be a chore.
At Nature Gnaws we love our dogs too, and believe that our pets deserve the best. Our chews are made from 100% grass-fed, free-range, all-natural beef, completely free of hormone injections or genetic modification, and with no added flavors or preservatives - because we think that nothing's too good for our dogs.
