Scottish Referendum
The Declaration of Arbroath States "There is neither weighing nor distinction of Jew and Greek, Scotsman or Englishman." – Scottish Jews Fought and Died for Their Country in Many Wars and Their Voices Need to be Heard – Jews Vote For Your Independence From England
1 Comment on The Declaration of Arbroath States "There is neither weighing nor distinction of Jew and Greek, Scotsman or Englishman." – Scottish Jews Fought and Died for Their Country in Many Wars and Their Voices Need to be Heard – Jews Vote For Your Independence From England
Ask most people about Zionism and they will say "that's the Jews", but while this is the impression the Rothschild networks in politics and the media have sought very successfully to "sell" as "common knowledge", it is not true.
It represents only a minority of them and many others who are not Jewish.
Rothschild Zionism in its public expression is a political ideology based on a homeland for Jewish people in Palestine and a belief that the Jews are God's 'chosen race' with a God-given right to the 'promised land' of Israel.
They also believe that the real borders of Israel must encompass what is now Israel, including Gaza and the West Bank still officially owned by the Palestinians, plus Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Egypt and Jordan, or, as Genesis puts it: "… from the brook of Egypt to the Euphrates".
That's the public expression of Zionism, but at its inner core, it is a secret society created and controlled by the House of Rothschild.
They have sought to sell the 'Zionism-means-all-Jewish-people' lie so that they can condemn as 'anti-Semites' and 'racists' anyone who exposes the truth about Rothschild Zionism and its agents in government, banking, business, media, military etc.
This is why, (with the exception of one) politicians and political commentators decline to make any negative comments about Israel

1 Nov 2016: SNP Deputy Leader says Scotland can play a constructive role in the Middle East as he leads official Israel visit
The SNP launched its first official trip to Israel as part of ambitious plans for Scotland to play a role in helping achieve peace in the Middle East.
Angus Robertson led an official delegation to the region, saying he had been "encouraged to explore whether there is any way Scotland could offer help and assistance."
He added that both the Israeli Ambassador and the Palestinian envoy to the UK welcomed his interest and added that small nations had already shown they could play a positive role, citing the example of the Oslo accords.
It was good to witness the SNP government adopting an enlightened view of politics in the middle east. It deserves praise.
Scottish Jews should step up and get involved in Scottish politics After all they fought and died for the right to be counted in
Scottish Jews should be encouraged to fully participate in the struggle for independence and when achieved the development of an independent Scotland free of any racist policies or activities.
Scotland has a proud record of welcoming immigrants of all nationalities.
It is the only country in Europe that has never forced Jews to leave.
The photograph below pictures soldiers at war in defence of their country (Scotland).
Many never made it home and are buried in the fields of Flanders.
There is one distinguishing factor linking these brave young men.
They were all Jews.

Why Were the Voices of the Jews Not Heard In Scotland in the 2014 referendum
The lack of any Jewish contribution to the independence debate and subsequent referendum, over the future of Scotland is cause for concern.
Whilst not huge in number in Scotland the Jewish community is, (and has been for many centuries) an integral and important part of Scottish society and it is crucial they get involved in mainstream Scottish politics so that their voices can be heard.
A "Friends of Israel" group should be set up within the SNP so that voices of moderation can be heard.
The people of Scotland fully support the State of Israel and it's right to exist, in peace with it's neighbours.
But Scotland also supports the Palestinians and their right to exist also as a country, at peace with its neighbours.
The Scottish public, (and I include Scottish Jews) do not condone the aggression of the "Rothschild Zionist" government of Israel and it's the pursuit of policies directed against the Palestinians.
"Might is not right".

The Jewish Chronicle published an article penned by a Scottish Jew and I added it to this blog
Why I want Scottish Independence By Frank Angell
I am a Scottish Jew — and I am wholeheartedly voting Yes on September 18, and so are others of my acquaintance.
Scotland's strength is the diversity of the many cultures and faiths that thrive in our communities.
Each culture brings with its values, ideas and innovations that enrich our arts, our language and our lives.
It is fewer than 200 years since Jews first came to Scotland in significant numbers.
Since then, Jewish workers and entrepreneurs have helped to grow Scotland's economy, while Jewish writers, artists and performers have contributed to our culture.
Our community may be a relatively small one, but we have been shown every courtesy and respect by First Minister Alex Salmond and his team of ministers since they came to office in 2007.
Indeed, one of Mr Salmond's early acts as First Minister was to visit Scotland's only Jewish school at the start of Chanukah and to meet representatives from the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities.
In 2009, the Jewish community was, rightly, included in the first meeting to take place between the Scottish government cabinet and faith group leaders in Scotland.
And I was proud when the SNP government became the first administration in Scotland to directly fund visits by school children to Auschwitz-Birkenau, under the Lessons from Auschwitz Project run by the Holocaust Educational Trust — with an additional £500,000 funding announced just last year to secure the future of this vital project.
These are just some examples of the interaction that takes place between Jewish representatives and the Scottish government, with positive outcomes on virtually every occasion.
I would hazard that it is a rather closer relationship with the leading ministers in Scotland than our fellow Jews south of the border enjoy with Westminster — and one which is replicated by other communities and interest groups in Scotland, whether that be other faiths, business organisations, trade unions, and so on.
I do not claim that Scotland is perfect, with no problems of intolerance or prejudice.
But our history is at least unstained by anti-Jewish discrimination, rare among European nations, and our 14th-century independence Declaration of Arbroath contains the statement:
"There is neither weighing nor distinction of Jew and Greek, Scotsman or Englishman."
These are ancient words, but they still seem a fine sentiment to usher in a new Scotland in the 21st century.
As we look forward to the referendum, there is a wave of optimism, and people across Scotland are realising that we now have a chance to make our country better for all who live here and reshape the way we are regarded by the rest of the world.
I want independence, and I also want the common ground across all the strands that make up our Scottish tartan to be the foundation for the new Scotland.
I want Scotland to embrace the future as an independent country — and I believe that we will do so with conviction and tolerance.

The Glasgow Jewish Lads Brigade
The 2014 Independence Referendum and – Mrs Mundy a charity worker from Edinburgh.
She was undecided on which way to vote when interviewed a year ago. But with less than a week to go, she decided to tick the yes box.
"I do prefer the devo-max option and I believe it's interesting but disappointing that Westminster and the media offered us that at the last minute but I'll not change my vote now."
She added:
"I think Westminster politicians did not take the needs of the Scottish people seriously and now they are panicking.
I am not sure what Scotland's foreign policy will be towards Israel but Scottish Jews will have a much closer connection to its politicians and greater influence than is the case at the present time."
Acknowledging that many in the Jewish community in Edinburgh intended to vote no she said; "The Edinburgh community is quite split on it".
Frank Angell: Is in favour of independence
Frank, a former Scottish National Party council nominee, said:
"Scotland is not a racist country and I don't see it becoming a racist country. Nicola Sturgeon, the deputy First Minister, confirmed in a letter to my MSP, Stewart Maxwell, that there will be no change in the law on shechita and circumcision.
"The anti-Israel feeling in Scotland does worry me but not as far as independence is concerned.
It hasn't been any better in England and although the Scottish Parliament is currently not pro-Israel, policies change.
We need strong convictions in taking the case for Israel to the wider community and I'm not currently seeing that."

Thanks, very interesting.


Whether we realize it or not, we each assign our own rules to money. For example, let's assume you received a bonus from your employer. How would you treat this payment? Would you spend or save these dollars differently than the funds you receive in your regular work pay? If so, have you ever wondered why?
When you have an accurate awareness of your cash flow (the amount of dollars that enter and exit your budget each month) and discover margin, then you have the freedom to plan more intentionally for long-range goals, like retirement.
The opposite is true when there is a lack of clarity and control over income and expenses and no margin exists. Having little or no money left at the end of the month to pursue important financial goals can be nerve-wracking.
Think about how you think about money. For example, the next time you receive a tax refund, merit pay or cash inheritance, pause and think about how any spending or saving decisions concerning these sources of income might differ from those made concerning your regular work pay. If there is a difference, how does each decision support your monthly budget needs and long-range financial priorities?
Think twice about automation. It has become so easy to purchase items with a pre-loaded credit card on file, such as songs from iTunes or books from Amazon. It's actually painless and requires very little thought or effort on your part, which is precisely the customer experience retailers want you to have. But what if you removed your credit card authorization from one or two of your merchant relationships? Would you save a few bucks each month if you forced yourself to think about individual purchases and experienced the pain of paying?7 If so, how much of a difference over time would it make if you used the cost-savings to pay down debt or put aside for retirement?
Getting your financial house in order isn't always the easiest task. If you would like to learn more about how to deal more effectively with cash flow or financial stress, please reach out to a CFP® professional in your area today.

Neferit has tricked you, and has eaten your brains! You have now joined the shambling, grey-skinned legions of the undead, along with everyone else who has ever visited this page.
Neferit the zombie has eaten more than one thousand brains. Yours wasn't particularly filling.


The seven property Newark and Irvington Renaissance Portfolio contains historic, park fronting buildings and dozens of recently renovated apartments in the coveted workforce housing locations of Newark and Irvington, New Jersey. The properties offer walkable conveniences and easy commuting to New York City and downtown Newark. Three of the buildings are directly across the street from the Olmsted designed, Weequahic Park which contains sports fields, foot paths, a lake and an 18-hole golf course. In addition to NJ transit access, local shops and restaurants, the locations offer proximity to major employers, highways, Newark airport and several high income towns with additional amenities.
One Wall acquired these properties together in 2016, completed a major turnaround and recently refinanced the properties in 2018. The buildings contain over 640 units and are now 97% occupied after we spent millions of dollars in deferred maintenance and value-added capex projects including dozens of unit renovations. These are now highly stable, smooth running buildings that we own 100% with one equity partner. One Wall is now offering individual investors the opportunity to acquire a portion of the member interests with a current pay 7% preferred return and a future buyout offering 15% IRR.
* All information is reported by One Wall Partners LLC as of 1/9/2019.
The portfolio properties are located in the City of Newark and City of Irvington in southeastern Essex County and are approximately 15 miles southwest of Manhattan. Newark and Irvington neighbor each other and are surrounded by several densely populated towns containing significant residential, commercial and industrial development and are across the Newark Bay/Hackensack river from Jersey City. This location provides unparalleled access to the region's extensive transportation infrastructure. Newark is served by PATH to Manhattan, several NJ Transit stations serving NYC and countless other destinations and AMTRAK service on the Northeast Corridor. The area is served by numerous highways including the New Jersey Turnpike (Interstate 95), Interstate 280, Interstate 78, the Garden State Parkway, U.S. Route 1/9, U.S. Route 22 and Route 21. Newark Liberty International Airport, the second busiest airport in the region, is located within a few miles, as is Port Newark, the largest container port on the East Coast and the 15th busiest seaport in the world.
Does the Sponsor have an ownership interest in the Seller entity?
The Sponsor is 20% owner of the JV entity that owns 100% of the properties at present; this is a recapitalization not an acquisition. The property was purchased in October of 2016 for $37,100,000. Since then, more than $2,200,000 of capex has been invested and the occupancy has increased from less than 90% to 96%+. The equity is being offered at an asset valuation of $53,200,000 which is equal to lender's appraised value.

Ever wondered how some photographers seem to be in the news and rarely lack for clientele?
More than likely it is because they have specialized in a style of photography and done so quite well to the point of being know for their style worldwide.
One of these themes is portrait photography.
Sure almost any photographer can take your portrait but doing so in an unusual way which is also very creative and quite pleasing is what separates these professionals from the rest of us.
By specializing in portraits you can then become known as a portrait specialist and when a client wants their portrait they know where to go.
However it is not just doing one single theme. The key is to do this single theme so well that your images stand out from the rest and people look to you when they want something different.
He started doing these at the modest price of $800 a few years back which included the gown, the make up, the hair, 100 photos plus a video.
He now charges upwards of $1600 and no matter how much you ask he will not do weddings, portraits, or any other photography but this.
He has become so well known for doing Quinces that people come from miles when they want to give their daughters a special photo occasion and from what I have seen he keeps quite busy.
If only one could become so specialized and successful that you can run a business doing nothing but one thing.
One of the best samples I have seen is doing portraits with a theme like Winter.
The model gets her makeup in wintry colors like light blues and whites, including the lips.
Props like fake winterized branches and even fake snow are used, some even use "winterized" bluish contact lenses.
The shots are usually breathtaking to say the least and definitely stand out as they are anything but ordinary.
Among other popular themes are colors where the model gets make up in a particular color like reds in her checks, around the eyes and lips and sometimes even the hair.
A red scarf is then wrapped around her head and the set up is completed with a matching color backdrop.
Just like this color theme there are basically many other applications that can be molded into a theme and used for a specialty shoot.
You can use feathers, flower petals, little balloons or glass beads, even paint balls like the ones used for sports and there are also nature themes, the seasons, festivals and holidays.
By far the best themes are those that are "evergreen"; they do not fit one category or time frame but can be used year round.
Found this interesting & could this be turned into a niche business?
But the easiest method to set yourself and your work apart is to do an out of the ordinary and very creative makeup.
You do not need props other than a matching backdrop and this is easily accomplished, but the makeup needs to be as creative, even strange, as possible and not something often seen.
The idea is to do beauty makeup and not "Halloween" type ones, strange maybe but beautiful nevertheless.
The makeup is the key especially around areas on which the eye of the beholder tends to go first like the eyes.
Even if everything else is the same, like props, backdrops, hair and so on, if the makeup is less than stellar and out of the ordinary then the portrait does not have the same effect that it would if the opposite were true.
If you do decide to go into business doing this type of portraits you may find out that your business grows as your expertise and creativity grows.
The better you become the more business may grow. If you are not a talented makeup artist but consider yourself to be a talented photographer, then hiring the services of a good makeup artist is definitely something you should consider.
These artists will often work on an on-call or as as needed routine. But if you grow then you may even consider hiring a full time dedicated one.
Regardless of how you approach the makeup work, it is up to you to offer guidance as to what you want and how you want it done.
Sit down with your makeup artist and be sure to explain what it is that you want and what it is that you expect.
The more successful photographers who do this type of work even have their own dedicated prop makers but it does help if you at least learn to do some of your own props.


I was asked to work a sample up for PattyB over at Splitcoast for her Hope You Can Cling to Challenge. The challenge was specifically to use the Serendipity technique to create a pink collage. Go here to see the master challenge thread.
I have to say that I LOVED Serendipity! Instead of using a neutral piece of cardstock, i.e. not dsp, I used a sheet from the First Edition dsp as my base. For my collage, I took the bee and the bird from Nature Walk and the flourish from Established Elegance. I first did some direct to paper with Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose craft spots onto my base, then randomly stamped my images in Garden Green, Rich Razzleberry and Versamark. In between stamping, I would periodically stop and sprinkle either Gold, Clear or Iridescent Ice ep over the whole thing, gradually building up the layers.
When I thought that I'd achieved enough depth and texture, I cut my sheet into squares using my 1 1/4" square punch . I notched the corners of 12 squares with my Ticket-Corner punch, then sponged the edges with Rich Razzleberry. These I layered with pieces cut out of Rich Razzleberry with my 1 3/8" square punch, also notched on the edges. The collage pieces were adhered to Pink Pirouette, then pearl "rosettes" fitted into the round spaces between the collage pieces.
The bird frame from Four Frames was clear embossed and watercolored. The edges were sponged with Pretty in Pink and Rich Razzleberry and the "points" of the frame highlighted with white gel pen.
All products used were Stampin' Up!


Congressman Bill Huizenga has urged for the U.S. Congress to focus on crypto regulation in an interview with Bloomberg July 27. Huizenga wants to see more oversight in what he considers the "muddied and fairly opaque" initial coin offering (ICOs) and digital assets markets.
Speaking in his Capitol Hill office, Huizenga argued that Congress should empower financial regulators such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to regulate the market in compliance with the same rules governing other currencies and stocks.
Huizenga said that the main reason for focusing on crypto regulation is to guarantee that investors dealing with ICOs and cryptocurrencies are protected and provided a due level of transparency.
The Michigan Republican said that lawmakers from both parties, while admitting a need for action, still have not reached an agreement on how crypto markets should be regulated.
The congressman echoed the sentiments of Coinbase's Chief Legal and Risk Officer Mike Lempres who pointed out that financial regulators classify digital tokens within the obligations of their institution. While the SEC considers cryptocurrencies as securities, the CFTC argues that digital tokens are commodities. Other regulators, such as FinCEN and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), say that cryptocurrencies should be considered money and property, respectively.
Huizenga is a member of the Financial Services Committee and is Chairman of the Capital Markets, Securities, and Investment Subcommittee. According to Bloomberg, he could be a contender to lead the Financial Services Committee if the Republican party keeps control of the House of Representatives following the midterm elections.
Last month, U.S. Representative Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) stated that the ICO market requires "light touch" regulation to provide more clarity to investors while avoiding encumbering projects with undue regulations.
Earlier today, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce issued an official dissent from the agency's recent rejection of the appeal of Bats BZX Exchange, Inc. to list and trade shares of the Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF), the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust.

Q: On Newton's discovery of the universal law of gravitation I'm reading Peter Collier's book on relativity and was on the chapter where he describes how Newton figured out the law for universal gravitation. This is the cannonball referred to in the following context. He writes

By careful observation Newton determined that the Moon
  actually 'falls' not 5 m, but 1.37 mm (0.00137 m or about one sixteenth of an
  inch) below a straight line trajectory in 1 second.

And..

Assuming that both the cannonball and the Moon are accelerating towards the
  centre of the Earth, the ratio of the Moon's acceleration to the cannonball's is
  1.37/5000, which is approximately equal to 1/3600.

My Question is: How was Newton able to determine how much the Moon "fell" below the straight line trajectory?

A: Conjecture:
The distance to the moon was approximately known by astronomers in Newton's days.
Once you know the orbital radius and period, a simple diagram shows you how much the moon "falls".

When angle $q$ is small, the distance $d$ is calculated from
$$\frac{d}{v~t}= \frac{v~t}{R}\\
d=\frac{v^2 t^2}{R}$$
Note - interesting details on this calculation by Newton can be found at this link - among others it describes the importance of knowing the mass of the moon (because the Earth-Moon system rotates about their mutual barycenter - not the center of the Earth). Get the mass wrong, and your calculations go awry. Apparently Newton was not above fiddling the numbers a bit so it all looked OK.

A: Good point,
What Collier should be saying is:

By assuming his own law to be true, and given what we know today, Newtons might could have reckoned  that the Moon actually 'falls' not 5 m, but 1.37 mm (0.00137 m or about one sixteenth of an inch) below a straight line trajectory in 1 second.  It wasn't until centuries later than anyone verified this calculation.

The second statement that Collier made (as well as the first for that matter) is what we call a "physicist's history of physics".  Given what was known and not known in Newton's time, Newton himself didn't and couldn't really make any of these calculations -- it just makes for a good, explanatory story to say that he did.
By the way, most physicists (myself included) have no idea how Newton really arrived at his conjectures actually, and would have no idea what we were reading if we were to actually read historical documents in his own handwriting.  What you're reading is a summary of what we think Newton might have done.

It's Not Just Business
Neil Weinberg Contributor
Howard Jonas' fortunes tend to swing in billion-dollar increments. A dreamer, always working a new angle, Jonas created telecom provider IDT two decades ago and, in a stroke of masterful timing, sold its groundbreaking Internet telephone spinoff, Net2Phone, to AT&T in 2000 for $1.1 billion in cash.
Jonas spent much of the next decade frittering away the proceeds. Wireless broadband provider Winstar sucked up $370 million. A debt-collections agency cost another $77 million and a Jerusalem call center millions more. Jonas, who owns 29% of IDT's stock and controls it via supervoting shares, saw 99% of his net worth vaporize.
In 2008, after an extended sabbatical in Israel, Jonas told FORBES he was back in charge and determined to revive his creation.
Revive it he has. The company, which generated 85% of its $1.4 billion in revenues selling calling cards, swung to a $20 million profit in the year through July. From a split-adjusted low in 2008 of 66 cents, its stock has rocketed to $22 per share, making IDT the NYSE's fifth-best performer over the past two years. Jonas, who two years ago vowed to work for stock alone, is, at age 54, a centimillionaire once again.
Yet he insists with characteristic hyperbole that even with IDT's market cap north of a half-billion dollars, investors are grossly undervaluing his creation--both as a profitmaking enterprise and as a strategic asset for Western civilization.
His key ingredient: oil from shale. Unlikely as it sounds, a few years ago IDT acquired one of three Colorado concessions from the Bureau of Land Management to develop a process for extracting oil from shale (the two other owners are Royal Dutch Shell and Chevron ). IDT's Genie Oil & Gas unit owns similar rights in Israel. The leaseholds are estimated to sit atop 10 billion barrels of oil equivalent in the U.S. and 40 billion barrels in Israel. All told, these shale oil reserves dwarf Saudi Arabia's proven reserves.
"Sometimes heaven has a plan that's different than the plan you see," Jonas says.
In recent months Jonas has wooed impressive talent to Genie's advisory board--including News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, hedge fund legend Michael Steinhardt, British financier Jacob Rothschild and former U.S. vice president and Halliburton boss Dick Cheney. (Murdoch and Rothschild together put $11 million into Genie.)
Steinhardt makes no bones about the fact that his own "irrepressible, irrational, at times emotional commitment to Israel" drew him to Genie. While risky, it is, he insists, a promising venture. "The process [to produce oil from shale] works," he says. "The question is whether it will work in commercial magnitudes with the same economics as we think it will."
In a September press release Murdoch said he believed that Genie Energy has the potential to "spur a global, geopolitical paradigm shift" by moving a major portion of new oil production to "America, Israel and other Western-oriented democracies."
Jonas is no less grandiose, arguing that should he succeed IDT would prudently be worth half as much as ExxonMobil , or roughly $150 billion. "That would be nice," he says. "I might even fly business class."
Tall and rail-thin, Jonas got his business start selling hotdogs outside a methadone clinic near his Bronx home and wrote a book about it titled On a Roll. He peddled Bonsai trees from his dorm room while earning an economics degree from Harvard--a school he scorns as a bastion of leftist elitism. An Orthodox Jew, he married his high school sweetheart, Debbie, and is the father of nine. Jonas got into telecom by offering cut-rate international "call-back" service and carved out a niche with campaigns like 1-800-SCREW-ATT.
Intrigue and cronyism have always been part of the Jonas package. IDT has been enmeshed in lawsuits with the likes of Blackstone and Skype. A pending whistle-blower suit accuses it of bribing Haitian strongman Jean-Bertrand Aristede (IDT denies wrongdoing). Jonas appointed his son Samuel, a 29-year-old Rutgers and Ramapo College dropout, as chief operating officer. His sister Joyce is general counsel and corporate secretary.
IDT's unglamorous but profitable telecom business involves selling calling cards via 100,000 bodegas and other outlets, mostly to immigrants. Jonas plans to build it by enabling customers to transfer money abroad and pay bills for overseas relatives via cellphone. A separate operation sells gas and electricity service in the Northeast.
David Miller, manager of the Catalyst Value Fund, got into IDT a year ago at $4 to $5 per share. He figures the stock is still cheap, based on the value of its telecom franchise, real estate and $12 per share in cash. "The real danger is they'll have some huge success," warns Miller. "I wouldn't want to go through with shale a repeat of the Net2Phone story."
Admits Jonas: "We lost $1 billion of investors' money. People are afraid we're some kind of drunken spendaholics."
To unjumble IDT Jonas intends to spin off Genie to shareholders in the next year (meaning mostly himself). His small but impressive roster of scientific talent includes Alan Burnham, former head of shale oil research at Lawrence Livermore's labs, and Harold Vinegar, former chief scientist at Royal Dutch Shell. French oil giant Total S.A. has also acquired a 50% stake in Genie's Colorado unit.
Genie aims to improve on previous shale efforts by drilling below the water table, generating heat and extracting partially refined oil without having to dig up vast tracts of wilderness. If all goes well it will begin a Colorado pilot program early next year and commercial operations as early as 2018. It's a perilous path but one Jonas insists has energized him like never before--and one for which his A-list backers are providing both financial and moral support.
"I share extensive e-mail with a lot of these guys," says Jonas. "What they feel in their hearts, their hopes . . . it's mind-boggling that underneath all the glory there's a real value system."

Investing and personal finance are my beats. During my 22 years writing and editing stories about money, I've left a trail of financial booms and busts in my wake: Japan...


The FR-225 is The Tougher One Of The Two $1 Educational To Come By.
Among the most beautiful, historical and popular of all forms of paper money are the United States Series 1896 Silver Certificates. Known as the "Educational" notes, these $1, $2 and $5 bills take their name from the imagery on the face of the one dollar denomination, a painting by Will Low entitled "History Instructing Youth" adapted by engraver Charles Schlecht.

Cassper Nyovest says the world is 'hurt' so 'it's every man for himself!'
Deepika Naidoo Reporter 07 December 2020
I'm a legend! Cassper Nyovest is his own hype-man, big time!
Image: Instagram/ Cassper Nyovest
AMN hitmaker Cassper Nyovest says he is his own hype man in a world full of negativity and hate.
One thing is for sure about our Doc Shebeleza star, nobody loves Cassper Nyovest like Cassper Nyovest! With the release of his director's debut with the music video Nokuthula and success of his album, the musician has been in high spirits.
Along with his usual pearls of wisdom, this week the star took to Twitter with some advice on his success. A user asked members of the Twitter republic if they celebrate both big and small wins in their lives.
Cassper responded with his guide to loving himself.
"I'm my biggest hype man and honestly that's the only way. The world is hurt so nobody has anything positive to say about you. Why rely on a world full of trauma. The conversation in your mind is the most important. It has helped me so much. I did that! I am a f*cking legend!" tweeted Cassper.
I do, I'm my biggest hypeman & honestly that's the only way. The world is hurt so nobody has anything positive to say about you. Why rely on a world full of trauma. The conversation in your mind is the most important. It has helped me so much. I did that!! I am a fucking legend!! https://t.co/E6RSMY06ng
— R.M Phoolo (@casspernyovest) December 2, 2020
This isn't our first encounter with Cassper's self-love train.
Last year the star opened up about struggling to love himself in the past.
Basically, he told his fans that they need to find happiness within.
"You need to do better by yourself. You need to say kind things to yourself. You need to say motivational things to yourself. You need to do things that please you the most selfishly so. You are responsible for your own happiness," wrote Cassper.


We're visiting my family in the Appalachian mountains of Western North Carolina for my little girl's Spring Break & I happened upon this pile of fresh ramps in a local grocery store.
It baffles my mother that ramps are suddenly so chic.
She also told me under no circumstances could I cook them inside.
Undeterred, I tried to manipulate her by leveraging the Blackberry Farms Cookbook as evidence that they were a fancy culinary delicacy.
Enter my Uncle John. Mountain man and secret conservationist of Old Mountain Ways. He stopped in to say hello. Mom was making me keep my ramps outside on the porch (she's serious about hating "that smell") and he noticed them on his way in.
After some discussion (and debate) I learned more than a few new things about ramps.
Namely, their new status as the darling of the foraging world has had a dramatic & negative impact on the local supply. People lazily pull them up by their roots like you see above & they don't grow back the next year. This devastates them in the wild.
He also went on to say that local folks were quickly buying up the ramps, not to cook, but to transplant into their own gardens.
💡: I had a new ramp mission.
Following his detailed planting instructions, I headed up to our mountain property, Chestnut Gap Farms, and I set out to sow my own ramp patch.
I had a spot in mind, but it was going to take some weed whacking to get there. My 13 year old little girl wasn't into the briars. She bailed & sent Bo Berry Biscuit, our trusty puppy, in her stead with the ramps tied to his collar.
The elevation and moisture were perfect at my proposed patch site. Additionally, my Dad had burned a brush pile there a few years back, so the soil was rich and dark and the sun made its way to the forest floor. There was also a distinctive tree near by so we could easily find our way back to the spot.
3) Wait 'til next year to see if they "took"
I also hadn't completely given up on my cooking campaign and optimistically kept one bunch of ramps aside for myself- BUT trimmed the roots from the bulbs and planted those too in the hopes that they'll find life again next Spring!
Springtime New Potatoes with Ramps- they smell delicious!

40 Best Activities in South East Queensland
Home > Brisbane > Adventure | Family | Free | Fun Things To Do | Lists
by Roy Chambers (subscribe)
Lover of all things interesting and new
Published November 11th 2021
There is a lot to see & do in South East Queensland
There is a lot to do and as already listed in another article, lots of places to visit in South East Queensland, Whether you are a local or a visitor, here is a list of 40 great and popular activities in the area. Some are unique to South East Queensland, and others are simply made more enjoyable because of the location.
Everything east of Toowoomba is South East Queensland in this map courtesy of Wikimedia
Below are a combination of free and paid activities. There is a lot to do for free here but don't be afraid to splash out to pay for some great experiences as well.
1. Walk
One of the most popular activities in South East Queensland is to go for a walk, and it is not surprising as there are so many great places to walk in the area. In the heart of Brisbane, you walk along the river all the way from Newstead up to near the University of Queensland. Meanwhile, if you want to walk by the beach, you can walk from Shorncliffe to Redcliffe and beyond, or Wynnum to Manly in the south. There are also plenty of walks on the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. The more interesting one on the Gold Coast is Federation Walk from Main Beach to the Spit or the Burleigh Heads National Park. On the Sunshine Coast, you have Golden Beach, as well as the Cliffs, Walk in Caloundra.
Walking by the seashore in Sandgate
2. Hike
South East Queensland is a great hiking destination, with lots of little hikes in local bushland areas through to multiday hikes on the Great Walks. I am not going to try and list all the hikes, but the best hiking destinations include Binna Burra and O'Reilly's in the Lamington National Park, Springbrook National Park, Cunningham's Gap and South D'Aguilar National Park. All of these destinations include short strolls in nature to longer all-day hikes. If you want to hike for several days, the two most popular hikes are Gold Coast Hinterland Great Walk and Sunshine Coast Hinterland Great Walk.
South East Queensland has a wide variety of hikes
3. Kayak
Kayaking is a fun activity that anyone with a basic level of fitness can do. Even if you don't own your own kayak, there are plenty of great places to kayak in South East Queensland where you can also easily hire a kayak. These include kayaking Brisbane River from Riverlife at Kangaroo Point, Currumbin Creek and Tallebudgera Creek on the Gold Coast, and on the Sunshine Coast, you can kayak Pumicestone Passage either from Bongaree on Bribie Island or Golden Beach in Caloundra, as well as at places on Maroochy River or Mooloolah River. Noosa gets a special mention because not only can you kayak around Noosaville but you can hire kayaks and go for multiday trips up to the Noosa Everglades. Of course, you can also kayak in various lakes, with Walk About Creek Discovery Centre hiring out kayaks at Enoggera Reservoir.
Kayaking Brisbane River
4. Stand up paddle boarding
Stand up paddleboarding is pretty trendy at the moment. Obviously, it is more difficult for beginners than kayaking but you get to look down into the water and is a great way to observe ocean life as you paddle. See the kayak section, as nearly all the places listed for kayak hire also hire out stand up paddleboards.
Standup paddle boarding is popular at the beach, in rivers and lakes across South East Queensland
5. Taste wine
As a wine-growing region, South East Queensland is slowly gaining the respect of the rest of the nation. But you don't have to believe me, you can try for yourself. You don't even have to get out into the countryside to find wines, with Sirromet Wines in Mt Cotton in Redlands being the most convenient. Further afield, the rocky dry terrain of Stanthorpe is producing some of the best wines in the region. Of course, there are other wine-growing districts to visit as well, such as Mt Tamborine in the Gold Coast Hinterland and Montville in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, though many of the wineries in those areas actually just buy their grapes from Stanthorpe. These are great places to join a tour to visit or stay overnight and sample the wines.

6. Eat Steak
I don't eat steak often but I do love the perfect steak cooked beautifully. There are plenty of restaurants where you can get a nice steak and I will only mention the Breakfast Creek Hotel as it is also a historic location with great classic pub streaks. But you really want to get out to the countryside and seek out award-winning butchers. The two best regions to get steak are Killarney with its rich black volcanic soil, and across the border in Tenterfield, with its mild climate.
You can't go past the steaks at the Breakfast Creek Hotel
7. Swim in the sea
The region has a wide range of beaches stretching from Noosa in the north down to Tweed Heads in the south. So of course, a dip in the ocean is a great idea. The Gold Coast's beaches are famous, though the best-known ones are not necessarily the best. Certainly, with little kids or people who are less comfortable swimming, there are several beaches worth checking out. On the Sunshine Coast, you actually have more smaller beaches right in the heart of the main tourist areas. Some favourites include Moffat Beach, Tea Tree Bay and Mooloolaba Spit Beach. Brisbane area also has a few beaches, with Redcliffe having the best beaches in the greater Brisbane area but still well behind the beaches outside the area.
Swimming at the Gold Coast
8. Swim in a swimming hole
There are many swimming holes dotted around the countryside in South East Queensland. Some of the most popular include, Kondalilla Falls, Gardner Falls and Artists Cascades in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Cedar Creek Falls in Mt Tamborine, Cronan Creek Falls and Lower Portals at Mt Barney, Gwongoorool Pool at Binna Burra and the cascades in the Box Forest Circuit at O'Reilly's. Closer to Brisbane is Cedar Creek Swimming Holes in the Samford Valley.
Gardner Falls is a popular swimming hole on the Sunshine Coast
9. Food tasting
There is a lot of great food in South East Queensland. Of course, you can just have a nice meal in many great restaurants in the region but you can also go one step beyond and seek out options where you can sample a lot of different food. You can find a number of food walking tours in Brisbane, with two popular ones being South Bank's dessert tour and Sunnybanks Asian food tours. Then you can jump on a bus and go further afield with various country food tastings as well, such as Local Taste Discovery Tours.
There are many tastes to try in South East Queensland
10. Cruises
There are a wide variety of cruises on rivers and the ocean in South East Queensland. In Brisbane, the focus is on the river. You can take a free Red Ferry just to get a quick river tour, or even pay for the regular CityCat ferry, or music and good food, there is a Kookaburra Queen River Cruise which is popular with both locals and tourists. Whale watching is worth doing as well, with many half-day cruises leaving from the Sunshine Coast or the Gold Coast, and a few in the Brisbane area as well. If you are looking for something different, try a Noosa Everglades cruise or for something touristy, there is also a day trip out to Moreton Island or a historic tour of St Helena Island.
There are cruises all along the coast in South East Queensland
So I already mentioned whale watching cruises. The most convenient ones leave from the Gold Coast or the Sunshine Coast, but there are some from Brisbane as well. They use spotters to find the whales so that they can get in close (but not too close unless the whales choose to come in closer). But you can also spot whales from the coast. A couple of good spots to see whales is from Point Lookout on North Stradbroke Island or Burleigh Heads National Park. Others have been lucky and met whales while on a ferry to North Stradbroke or kayaking in Moreton Bay.

12. Shop at the markets
Markets in South East Queensland pop up in many different places, with various styles and offerings. There are several coastal markets that combine well with a trip to the beach. I like those at Manly where they host a farmer's market Saturdays and a creative market on Sundays. The Gold Coast also have a regular market at Surfers Paradise and there are markets in Redcliffe, Maroochydore Markets and Mooloolaba. Speaking of farmers markets, Woodridge lines up many stalls all selling cheap fruit and vegetables, and I usually manage to get great deals on exotic fruits at the Davies Park Market in West End. In the countryside, nothing beats the Eumundi Markets. Of course, every Wednesday there is also a market in the city centre.
There are a wide variety of city, beach and country markets all across Southern Queensland
13. See native animals
South East Queensland has some of the best zoos in Australia, including ones focused on native animals. So skip Australia zoo if you just want to see Australian animals and head to the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary instead, as it is better for native specifies. In Brisbane, the Lone Pine Koala Koala Sanctuary is a good option as well. There are plenty of other little zoos around. I like Walkabout Creek at Lake Enoggera but there are plenty of others to check out as well. If you want to see animals in their natural habitat, most larger bushland reserves, like Daisy Hill Conservation Reserve Park have plenty of wallabies and some even have kangaroos. If you are lucky, you might see a few koalas in the trees at Daisy Hill, the Koala Bushlands or Noosa National Park.

14. See a free outdoor performance
With mild weather most of the year (except the occasional thunderstorm), there are outdoor performances all year round, and most of them are free. Often the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast do this better than Brisbane, with one example being the Blues on Broadbeach festival which has multiple outdoor free stages as well as paid performances. But check out websites like WeekendNotes to see what free events are coming up next in your area.

15. Go to a show
Brisbane is actually a pretty good place to see theatre and other performances. In fact, many international productions come to Brisbane first. Tickets for shows at QPAC usually start at $80, but can be much more, while there are other good theatres as well for professional productions, including the Bille Brown Theatre in South Brisbane and La Boite Theatre in Kelvin Grove. But of course, there are plenty of other theatre spaces, including Metro Arts in West End that brings a lot of the more innovative works from Australian playwrights to Brisbane. On the Gold Coast, the recently built Home of the Arts (HOTA) is where you will find good theatre, while the Star Casino has a great theatre with a focus on more commercial and touristy productions.

16. Visit a country town
I quite like a country town, and there are a few worth the trip to see, and more worth stopping in when you are in the area. Maleny and Montville in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland are typical examples of gentrified country towns. They cater well to visitors while maintaining much of their country charm. In the Lockyer Valley, there are little village areas like Forest Hill, worth popping into on the way to other attractions. Aratula on the way to the Scenic Rim is a great place for a stop and for a bit of antiquing as well. Across the mountains, Warwick and Stanthorpe are popular destinations and of course, don't forget to also go to Killarney.
Warwick is one of many great country towns in the South East Queensland Region
17. Get multicultural
Australia, if you haven't noticed, is a multicultural society. Brisbane and South East Queensland reflect this too, though it is not as multicultural as Sydney or Melbourne there are still plenty of other cultures to immerse yourself in. The obvious one is Sunnybank, which is dominated by Chinese businesses but also has plenty of other Asian shops and restaurants as well. Elizabeth Street in Brisbane City is known as Korean Street, because it is full of Korean restaurants and shops, even extending to the side streets around the corner. For those looking to experience a bit of east Africa, then Moorooka is the place to go. Other very cultural suburbs from back in the day, such as New Farm and West End, have lost their Italian and Greek roots, but you can still easily experience the culture during the many festivals such for various cultural groups, including the popular Greek, Italian and French festivals, Oktoberfest for German culture (or mostly German beer) and so on. Then there are cultural festivals where you can enjoy multiple cultures at once.
African food and culture is just one multicultural experience you can have in South East Queensland
18. Get into the treetops
There are lots of ways to get up into the treetops. O'Reilly's Treetop Walk in Lamington National park is free (please make a gold coin donation though to help support its maintenance), while Mt Tamborine's Skywalk is about $10 for kids and $20 for adults. There is also the TreeTop Challenge, where you get to swing, zip, walk, jump and so on in the treetops while cabled up with ropes for safety. Locations include Mt Tamborine, Currumbin and at the Big Pineapple on the Sunshine Coast.
There are several ways to get into the tree tops in South East Queensland, including the Mt Tamborine Skywalk
19. Festivals & events
There is always something on in South East Queensland every week. Weekend Notes is of course your friend to find out about some of the best events coming up. With so much on, I am not sure where to start. Certainly, the Brisbane Festival is the premium event on in the area, though the main event is the Riverfire Fireworks. This is followed by the Woodford Folk Festival where many people head off to bring in the new year in style. But there are much much more on, including Ipswich's Country Music Festival, the Ekka Agricultural Show and even island festivals, such as the Island Vibe Music & Arts Festival on Minjerribah also known as North Stradbroke Island.

20. Visit a park
There are so many wonderful parks in South East Queensland. Some are worth spending much of the day in. In Brisbane, the best park by far is the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, where you can walk through imported and native sections of the park, learn about astronomy at the observatory, go to the library, or see art in one of the galleries. In Ipswich, Robelle Domain has become the place to play in summer, especially as next door is the Orion Lagoon water park. On the Gold Coast, I have a soft spot for the Broadwater Parklands, as you are by the water and it is part of a longer trail along that waterfront. On the Sunshine Coast, I recommend heading to the nearby hinterlands and enjoying one of two places in Maleny, either the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve which contains old-growth rainforest or the Maleny Botanic Gardens.
If you go to the park today, you will be in for a big surprise, for today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic
21. Visit a botanic garden
There are numerous botanic gardens around South East Queensland. Each has its own charm. The City Botanic Gardens is a nice area, if not a bit old fashioned, by the Brisbane River, and a great way to escape the city streets. Up on the sides of Mt Coot-tha is the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, which is a subtropical paradise, featuring winding paths, lagoons, ponds, Japanese Gardens and an Australian plants section at the back. For regional Botanic Gardens, Mt Tamborine has wonderful gardens thanks to the work of many volunteers. Regional cities also have Botanic Gardens, with nice ones on the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich and Toowoomba. Of the remaining regional botanic gardens, Maleny's stands out for its accompanying view of the Glass House Mountains and adjoining bird world.
Mt Tamborine's Botanic Gardens is one of many around South East Queensland
22. Learn more about native plants
More and more people are getting into planting native Australian plants in their gardens. While others want to know what they can eat or use in the bush. Along with indigenous tours with a focus on bush tucker talked about in the section below, often the main way to learn more about native plants is through a botanical garden. Brisbane Botanical Gardens offers native plant tours and the Brisbane City Council often gives away native plants at events such as the Green Heart Fair events. Similar events, including the sale of native plants, occur at botanic gardens across the region.
Learning about native plants on the Sunshine Coast
23. Watch the sunrise
When you live on the east coast, viewing the sunrise is often a matter of just going to the beach in the morning. I highly recommend this, along with a swim and a picnic breakfast. But you can also view the sunrise from a number of different locations. In Brisbane, Mt Coot-tha's Summit provides great sunrise views over the city. For the adventurous, a night hike up a mountain to view the sunrise is an option. This includes Mt Coolum on the Sunshine Coast, Mt Cordeaux at Cunningham's Gap and Mt Warning across the border in northern NSW.
Living on the east coast makes it easy to enjoy a great sunrise
24. View the sunset
Even being on the East Coast, there are still many places to see a good sunset. At the beach, Rainbow Bay on the Gold Coast gets sunsets over the bay as the sun sets in the west, and of course, you can view the sunset from many different islands in Moreton Bay. Mountain tops make good places to view the sunset as well. I am thinking Mt Tamborine has a couple of west-facing lookouts and Mt Ngungun on the Sunshine coast is good for its westerly views.

25. Visit an island
Moreton Bay contains 360 islands, and with that many to choose from, anyone who likes islands will find one that they love. The one that isn't in Moreton Bay that South East Queensland likes to claim as their own is Fraser Island, one of the must-see destinations in the region. Some other island highlights include driving over the bridge to Bribie Island, walking along the exposed sandbar at low tide to King Island, taking a ferry to North Stradbroke Island or Coochiemudlo island, or taking a cruise to the historic Peel Island, or escaping for a day trip or weekend away of feeding dolphins and sand tobogganing on Moreton Island.

26. Party
Okay, so you are in town and you want to party. But where is the party at? In Brisbane, Fortitude Valley has the trendiest bars and clubs and West End and South Brisbane is probably better to find a place with live music. Many people skip Brisbane and head to the Gold Coast where Surfers Paradise is party central, and of course, in summer, the beach provides a nice comfortable place to sleep if you don't make it through to sunrise. But if you are not in these party places, you can still find the party happening nearly anywhere in South East Queensland. Country pubs often have music and entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights, and it is like everyone from around the area turns up to party. The Sunshine Coast is also well known for its live music venues.
Nothing starts a party like a round of cocktails
27. Camping
Camping options in South East Queensland vary a lot, and you can camp in caravan parks with all the facilities through to rough campsites you need to hike to. The National Parks in South East Queensland have some amazing campsites, including Charlie Moreland and Booloumba Creek on the Sunshine Coast with wide-open grassy areas and fire rings. There are also great commercial campsites, like Queen Mary Falls Caravan Park in Killarney, which has a huge open area for camping. Let's not forget caravan parks worth camping in, such as those on the Sunshine Coast, the sites reserved for camping right next to the beach. Other highlights include beach camping on Islands, which usually requires a four-wheel drive, but North Stradbroke has some spots accessible by car. Then Bribie Island has spots you need a boat to get to. You don't have to go far, with some nice campsites near Brisbane.
Girraween National Park is one of many camping destinations in South East Queensland
28. Barbecuing in the park or at the beach
Australians often forget how good we have it. We can go to many parks or other places and just get a free table, shelter and barbecue, and start cooking. In fact, whenever friends come to visit me from abroad, I take them for a barbecue in the park or beach. Some of the best barbecue spots in Brisbane include South Bank (though it can be a little crowded), Roma Street Parklands, because it is my favourite park, Mt Coot-Tha's Simpson Falls Picnic Area as it has good access to walks. On the Gold Coast, check out the little Rainbow Bay, Paradise Point, Burleigh Beach and Evandale Park next to the Home Of The Arts. On the Sunshine Coast, consider Noosa Botanic Gardens, Glass House Mountains Lookout and Golden Beach.

29. Volunteering
Not everything you do has to be about yourself. You can also contribute to the community through volunteering, and have a great time for yourself while you are at it. Often the best way to get into volunteering is to get involved in various events so you might just be committing yourself for one day or a weekend. One of the hottest volunteering opportunities is the annual Woodford Folk Festival, but there are plenty of other events where volunteering gets you a free ticket. But you can also volunteer at Christmas time or for fundraisers. Then there are plenty of other types of volunteering as well. I know a few people who volunteer at local zoos or with the RSPCA.

30. Experience indigenous culture
Most visitors from abroad really want to experience a little bit of indigenous culture, and most Australians as well want to learn more in this area too. In Brisbane, your main option is to go to either the Queensland Art Gallery or Gallery of Modern Art. They both have permanent collections of indigenous art, including many contemporary works. On the Gold Coast, go to the Home Of The Arts (HOTA). The Gold Coast also has the Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre, something which Brisbane lacks. There are a number of local galleries focused on traditional owners, including Salt Water Murris Quandamooka Aboriginal Art Gallery on North Stradbroke Island (known as Minjerribah in the local language). Keep an eye out for talks, events, tours and performances. For food and contemporary Aboriginal art, try the Birrunga Gallery which is more a cafe with indigenous-flavoured food.

31. Road Trips
A great road trip should include the opportunity to visit several great locations in a single journey. South East Queensland has a couple worth doing. One of the most popular is the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, which incorporates the Glass House Mountains, the various attractions at Maleny and Montville, Mapleton Falls and if you have time, some shopping for local fruit and vegetables. Another great road trip is the Scenic Rim, heading up through Aratula where you can stop for a bit of antiquing, do a quick walk at Cunningham's Gap, drive down to Warwick and then back via Killarney and The Head Road. How many spots you stop and visit will depend on how early you leave. Another often neglected road trip are the back roads to Toowoomba. Starting at Ipswich, you take the side roads through Rosewood, Laidley, and other Lockyer Valley highlights, making your way up to Toowoomba via Flagstone Creek Road.

32. Lake adventures
What South East Queensland lacks in natural lakes, there are actually still lots of human constructed lakes for fun and adventure. In Brisbane itself there is Enoggera Reservoir where you can swim, kayak, stand up paddleboard, hike and mountain bike. Around South East Queensland, other lakes that are popular for adventures include Lake Moogerah, which attracts water skiers, and Ewen Maddock Dam for swimming and kayaking. There are plenty of more dams for fishing and nearly every lake has opportunities for hiking. If you are looking for natural lakes, then Brown and Blue Lakes on North Stradbroke Island are worth checking out for a swim.
Lake Moogerah is popular for waterskiing, fishing, kayaking and swimming
33. Visit a temple
In many cultures, a temple is a haven of serenity in a busy and chaotic world. The largest Buddhist Temple in Queensland is the Fo Guan Shan Chung Tian Temple in Priestdale. This temple complex includes multiple halls, a pagoda, sculptor gardens and lotus pond. Even better, they have a great little vegetarian cafe on the grounds. Another Buddhist Temple of note is the Holy Triad Temple, also known as Joss House, in Albion, which was built in 1885 behind where the Chinese markets used to be located. On the Sunshine Coast, the Chenrezig Institute features Tibetan style temples and welcomes visitors every day. They have a small cafe called the Big Love Cafe.

34. Cycling
South East Queensland has a lot of great places for cycling. Even if you don't have your own bicycle, there are often lots of places to rent them for a cycling adventure. Some of the most notable cycle paths include the Kedron Brook Cycleway which runs all the way from Mitchelton to Nundah, with a popular diversion through the Boondall Wetlands. Beyond that, you can cycle from Shorncliffe to Redcliffe, mostly along cycle paths by the seashore. On the southside, you can cycle from Wynnum to Manly. The Gold Coast's 55 kms of beaches can also be mostly cycled, including sandy paths all the way up to The Spit. There are also plenty of cycle paths on the Sunshine Coast shoreline and along the Noosa River. Last, but not least, are the cycle paths running along the Brisbane River in the heart of the city.
Cycling along the beach front in South East Queensland
35. Eat local seafood
Science has found that if you eat seafood where you can smell the sea, the seafood tastes better. So if you are close enough to the sea to smell it, you should also be eating seafood. So forget overpriced options in Brisbane's city centre like Jellyfish and Gambaro, even though they are very good, and head to a place near the ocean for some local seafood. While not a complete list, some standout options, include the Margate Beach House for Seafood Platters, Peter's Seafood Market for great fish and chips on the Gold Coast, or the Noosa Boathouse for some upmarket dining in a floating restaurant on the Noosa River.
There are many places to enjoy fantastic seafood in South East Queensland
36. Weekends away
Many people will have a coast or mountain day to escape the city, Of course, driving for up to 2 hours there and at the same time back is pretty tiring. So many people choose to escape for a weekend or a long weekend away. Some of the classic weekends away include to the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast, where you can enjoy a day of sun and surf, an evening of good food and drink, and a night of partying. While some partygoers, especially on the Gold Coast, choose to just sleep it off on the beach, it is much more comfortable in a bed. Many people choose the mountains for romantic getaways, including staying in a cabin surrounded by rainforest in places like Mt Tamborine, or with a view at O'Reilly's. For groups, heading to places where you can rent larger places to cook and eat together, think of spots like the Lockyer Valley. Then for lovers of wine, you can enjoy a range of great wines in Stanthorpe without having a designated driver.
Does a a private cabin surrounded by rainforest on a mountain sound good to you?
37. Escape the heat in the mountains
When the heat and humidity of South East Queensland's long hot summers get to you, one option is to escape to the cooler rainforest-covered mountains, which is a tradition that dates back to various indigenous societies in the region who would spend the winters by the coast and the summers in the mountains. For Brisbane people, it isn't even necessary to leave Brisbane, as Mt Nebo is part of the Brisbane City Council Area, while Mt Glorious is part of the greater Brisbane Area, both are great for hikes and cafes. For Gold Coast residents, there are many choices, including Mt Tamborine, for its lovely short rainforest walks. Of course, there is also Binna Burra and O'Reilly's in Lamington National Park, and Springbrook, among others.

38. Visit a bushland discovery centre
For visitors to the region as well as families with kids, a great way to learn a little about the local wildlife and nature is to head to a bushland centre. These range from very basic information boards to large air-conditioned information centres. There are a lot of these around, so I am not going to list them all, but some standout ones include Karawatha Forest Discovery Centre, which has a nice inside information centre with a nice bush themed playground nearby. The Koala Bushlands in Burbank is not as richly featured but has an information board that lets you hear the sounds of various local animals by pressing a button. In Chermside West, the Downfall Creek Bushland Centre features an informative bushland walk. But one place stands out beyond all the others, and it is the Rainforest Discovery Centre in the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve in Maleny. Walk among the last remaining old-growth rainforest in the area and learn more in the centre.
Mary Cairncross Information Centre is one of many bushland discovery centres around the region
39. Indoor Adventures
You don't have to go outside to have adventures in South East Queensland. For example, there are iFly indoor skydiving centres in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. A lot of people are getting into indoor rock climbing at the moment, which is good for people suitably fit. Then there is indoor paintball and gel blaster arenas. You can even go indoor go-karting. So no matter the weather, you can get active.
Indoor sky diving is just one adventure you can have without having to go outdoors
40. Fun & Games
There are a lot of opportunities for fun and games in Brisbane for all ages. There is laser tag and bowling at Kingpin Bowling or Strike Bowling Centres, which often include computer arcade games. In fact for adults, you can head to B. Lucky & Sons to play computer games in a bar setting. For darts, try Oche in Fortitude Valley. A great activity for various ages are escape rooms. Fox in a Box caters for all ages while Quest Rooms aims for older players.

Randy Arozarena, Tampa Bay Rays outfielder, arrested in Mexico over "problems" with ex-partner
Randy Arozarena of the Tampa Bay Rays reacts after hitting a single against the Los Angeles Dodgers during the fifth inning in Game Six of the 2020 MLB World Series at Globe Life Field on October 27, 2020 in Arlington, Texas. Ronald Martinez/Getty
Mexico City — Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena has been arrested in Mexico's Yucatan state for a situation involving an apparent custody dispute. The Yucatan state prosecutors' office confirmed Tuesday that Arozarena was detained "for problems relating to his ex-partner." The office did not explain what those problems were, but video posted on social media suggested it may have involved a dispute over a child.
Arozarena had not been formally charged yet. Mexican law allows a two-day period for prosecutors to decide whether to bring charges. Normally suspects are held in jail pending that decision.
"We are aware of reports that Randy Arozarena was detained in Mexico," the Rays said in a brief statement. "We are gathering more information on this situation, and we have no further comment at this time."
Arozarena has made no public comment and it was not clear if he had a lawyer yet.
Major League Baseball is likely to investigate under its joint domestic violence policy with the players' association.
"We are aware and looking into it," the commissioner's office said in a statement.
Arozarena hit .377 with 10 homers and 14 RBIs in 20 postseason games for the AL champion Rays, who lost the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The rookie was voted the Babe Ruth award as postseason MVP by the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Local media reported that Arozarena married a Colombian woman earlier this month in Merida, the Yucatan state capital.

Discussion in '2020 Recruiting Profiles' started by the_speakers_lab, Dec 10, 2017.
Recent 247 article has us and Nebraska as two schools making a push along with PU, MSU and IU. No IU offer and seems like they want Leal and Jaden Ivey more. The quotes seemed positive for Butler as being at the top of the list.
Long ways to go, but hopefully it stays that way. I think Galloway's shot looks a little mechanical, but it seems to work for him. Good size, good athlete and looks like he does a little bit of everything on the court. Would be really excited if they managed to snag one of the top prospects in the state.
Galloway, Leal, etc tip off at 345 for the adidas summer championship versus D1 Minnesota featuring another Butler offer Dawson Garcia. Link to watch below.
I met Trey's dad a week ago. He's the admissions director for Culver and was visiting my school to talk to prospective students. True to Indiana form, we knew at least 10 people in common, including several BU people.
And ......???? What is his interest in Butler?
His dad seemed enthusiastic about the offer.
BU, Purdue, Michigan State, Iowa, Nebraska.
UV to Purdue for Michigan State game tomorrow.
This is a kid that I really like. I have got to watch him quite a bit this year. Not going to blow u away when he walks on the floor, but when the ball is tipped he takes over. Very rarely can a kid his age control a game even when he doesn't have the ball in his hand. He's a great leader, and doesn't need the ball to be a factor. Typical coaches kid that plays the game hard and seems to always be in the correct position. Problem is, pretty sure him and dad will be a combo deal.
He's solid, but I'm not sure that he's not peaked Do you think he's athletic enough to stand out in the Big East?
I definitely think have more athletic scorers on the recruiting list than Trey will be, but he makes up for that with his B-ball IQ. Maybe after this year I am just overly conscious of that, lol.
I hate comparing players because no two are the same, but trey reminds me of Gordon Hayward. Now, not 2019 hayward, but 2006 Hayward.
I am also not a guy that really cares about "the Butler way" because it doesn't matter unless ur winning with. Saying that I think this kid is a team guy.
Don't really get the Hayward comp. Hayward really was not a great shooter in his time at Butler outside of the final weeks of the tournament. Trey is a fantastic shooter, it's his number one skill.
That's pretty funny, another of Butler's dud recruits coming off two final four appearances. You just got to laugh.
Will be interesting to see how he does the coming weeks and who offers. Galloway shot a really bad (like less than 30%) percentage from deep during the high school season. It sounds like he had a very nice weekend, but at the same time the competition this weekend isn't what it will be at later events. No coaches watching either when he had something like 28 in a win.

An otamatone- BUT PEOPLE DONT REMEMBER THEM?!
I never had one personally – always wanted one – but its not something you could easily get in the uk especially in like 2012!
Theyre like the coolest things – if youve never seen or heard one Google and youtube it! Its incredible!
Hands up if you remember otamatones anyway! It might be just because a friend of mine had one back in the day – maybe they werent that cool but i remember having a go so to speak- difficult to use but bloody hell are they good fun!
