What makes a grocery store perfect? How can you increase its sales? How can you ensure your customers keep walking through your doors time and time again? These are probably questions that regularly pop into your head, perhaps even on a daily basis.
Of course, the number and variety of products you display play a crucial role in increasing the sales at your store, but those aside, the layout of a shop is also vital if you want to get it right.
We have all seen customers going over their budget in stores just because the products are arranged in such a way that they couldn't stop themselves from reaching for it. In fact, we're all guilty of it to some degree.
Now, the next question that pops up is… which store layout is best for ramping up sales? Well, the team at Plastic Box Warehouse is right here to help you work that out. Here are some great tips to utilise your store layout to maximise profits.
You must be thinking why do you need flowers right at the entrance of your store, right? Well, the answer is that it helps you to liven up the mood of your customers the moment they walk into your store.
One thing that will impact your store's ability to sell produce is how fresh it is. If your produce looks a little worse for wear or smells a little funky, people won't buy them at all.
Since most deliveries come between Monday to Friday and are fresh during that time, try to gain the highest sales during these 5 key days.
Keep products that need to remain fresh in the right storage solutions. At Plastic Box Warehouse, we have all kinds of storage solutions for supermarkets. If you wish to organise your store in a super efficient manner, then try our awesome colour coded supermarket crates. And for storing items behind closed doors, our euro containers are perfect for products that need to be stored safely but in bulk.
Bakery products are the one thing that keeps our salivary glands going, even if we've declared we are on a diet. The smell of these sweet, baked goods make us feel hungry despite our best efforts to resist.
Also, these are the products that are bought by most people. So store them in such a place where they will not only be easily grabbed but where they will also gain the attention of the majority of customers.
Putting them at the ends of long aisles is a good idea. Having them proudly displayed close to the tills where customers are likely going to spend some time queueing (and therefore getting hungrier) is a sneaky but effective idea too.
Once you've decided where to display them, get yourself some confectionary trays so that you can store your yummy goods in the right way.
There are many things that come under this huge category and not all of them are essential – some are a part of our daily routine, while others are just there to attract extra profit.
So, store all these in the centre aisle to draw consumers deeper while they are looking for something else. You've probably fallen for it yourself – you're looking for something for dinner but end up buying a three-tier steamer and a new screwdriver set. Don't worry, it's happened to the best of us.
In general, stores have three to four shelves in each aisle. The upper shelves must be used to store lightweight, commonly used products, whereas the lower shelves should be used to store bulky, heavier items.
Bottom shelves are also a good place to store branded or cheaper items, as they don't really need to catch the attention of your customers. People who tend to use branded items will always go out of their way to find them, as there's no need to go over the top with displaying them.
The tips we've discussed above about perfecting your store layout will not only influence customers to purchase additional products but also give your store an organised and better look. There is nothing worse in a consumers mind than when they walk into a store that is cluttered, messy and completely unorganised.
Using effective storage solutions throughout your store will give your shop a professional, clean feel which is exactly the vibe you're aiming for!
For solutions to your ever-growing storage problems, get in touch with the team at Plastic Box Warehouse today.

The Director's Report to the STR Committee on the 2019 Workshop
The 2019 Poel Workshop was held at Royal Central School on March 8 and continued at the National Theatre on March 22.
Auditions were held at The Spotlight on February 21st,22nd, 25th and 26th. Further auditions took place at The Sheffield Crucible Theatre on 1st March. Auditions were conducted by Richard Williams, Howard Loxton and Warren Hearnden. Molly Leigh Moy was administrative assistant for the auditions. The auditions were publicized through the STR website, the Molly website, social media and through past participants. A diverse group of 12 actors with at least two years' professional experience, were selected from the auditions. 9 actors were selected from the London auditions and 3 from the Sheffield auditions. As in the past an invitation to participate was offered to young National Theatre actors, but this year there were no takers.
The Garrick Club had previously granted the Society a grant of £4,000 for the Poel Workshop to be more inclusive geographically. Because the workshop days have to start at 8.30 in order to accommodate the number of planned activities, it has been difficult for actors living outside the London commuter belt to participate. The Garrick funding made it possible to offer auditions in Sheffield, to offer rail/bus fares and modest overnight accommodation for the actors recruited from the north of England. It should be gratefully acknowledged that the actors awarded financial help were painstakingly modest in their claims, thus keeping the fund at a good level for ensuing years.
The day started with a warm up session taken by movement expert Ita O'Brien (movement lecturer at Drama Centre and Royal Central School) and this was followed by a vocal preparation workshop from Daron Oram, lecturer in voice at Royal Central School. The morning session was completed by a session on breathing and vocal delivery from Peter Knapp, lecturer at Trinity College of Music.
The afternoon session was a single workshop delivered by Ben Crystal who introduced a number of new techniques to enable a clearer understanding of Shakespearean text. In particular he analysed a number of specimen speeches from the point of view of the clues on interpretation contained within the verse. These clues included a sharp focus on the variations in the use of the iambic pentameter and how this could suggest ways of delivering the lines.
Finally the actors were put into pairs and given a Shakespeare scene to prepare for the second day at The National Theatre.
The day started with Ita O'Brien giving a second warm up session, and his was followed by Nona Sheppard (senior lecturer at RADA and the Lir Academy Dublin) giving a workshop on the structure of Shakespeare speeches and how the actor could respond in performance. This was followed by Jeannette Nelson, Head of Voice National Theatre, working with the actors on the stage of the Olivier Theatre on their previously prepared monologues.
In the afternoon director David Thacker (Young Vic, RSC and Bolton) continued on the Olivier stage working with the actors on the scenes which had been selected at the end of Day 1. The day ended with a session from Barrie Rutter, sharing his insights into Shakespearean plays in performance.
The Poel Workshop provides a unique opportunity for young actors to refresh their knowledge of techniques of delivery of Shakespeare text, and to introduce new approaches and ideas. It is generally acknowledged that for most actors there are fewer and fewer opportunities for the development of skills and the chance to perform Shakespeare. The enthusiasm with which the workshop sessions are greeted is testimony to their value and importance. There is no doubt a demand and a market for the workshops, particularly when they are delivered by such high-profile professionals.
Feedback from Participants in the Poel Workshop 2019
I would like to express my sincere thanks to The Society for Theatre Research, The Garrick Club and all those involved in The Poel Workshop 2019, for an incredible experience.
In 2013, during my time at the University of Liverpool studying Accounting and Finance, I would watch Jeannette Nelson on The National's Youtube channel teaching vocal warm-ups. I would apply and use these during my time at the university's drama society, taking the vocal techniques and teaching them to my colleagues and friends. It was therefore truly surreal and an absolute honour to have Jeannette, 6 years later, guiding me on The Olivier Theatre stage and watching her guide my fellow 'workshoppers' through their speeches. You could feel the awe and passion coming from everyone in the workshop as we each took our first steps onto that stage.
Having not trained professionally, the opportunity to play on such a historic stage and to be taught by these knowledgable, dedicated people, was amazing; it has presented me with a stronger belief in myself and my own limitations, alongside a plethora of new practical skills to develop, improve and expand on.
I have only personally discovered the importance of yoga in the last 3 months and I am further inspired to continue with it after meeting Peter Knapp. His stories and life were like something from another world to mine and it was brilliant to hear the wisdom he had to pass on. I have already started to apply his breathing exercises.
After this workshop I will never be able to read a line of Shakespeare in the same way again. As I mentioned, I did not train professionally, and classes in analysing Shakespeare are fairly few and far between… However after the time spent with Ben Crystal and Nona Shepphard, it feels like a new language has been opened up to me. I would now feel immeasurably more confident approaching any Shakespearean text.
Ben's teaching on the Kino-sphere and Ita O'Brien's warm up were both wonderfully physical and exhilarating; it was great to be able to explore different perspectives and techniques to increase and explore our bodies' reach. The time with David Thacker was also brilliant and great to meet him; his dynamic directing style was engaging and the improvement within 20 minutes that everyone seemed to make, was stark. A real honour again on that beautiful stage. Finally, Barrie Rutter, a real burst of energy at the eleventh hour (when all of us were pretending not to be a little exhausted by the thrilling intensity of the final day). His life force and Northern charm were rousing and his tales hilarious, finished off with some top drawer advice and real passion for Shakespeare.
This whole workshop was invaluable and I cannot thank everyone involved enough for the experience. It has given me a lot to reflect on and learn from, to apply to my future work and to hopefully one day teach to others. As a Manchester-based, Liverpudlian actor, London and the large southern theatres can sometimes feel quite far away, but this opportunity has animated me and I am only going to work harder to experience this scale of theatre work again. I will be recommending that every actor I know in the North applies for future workshops. My deepest thanks.
Daniel Cassidy.
[Daniel was a recipient of a Garrick Club bursary, which enabled him to travel to and stay in London for the Poel Workshop.]
I want to say a huge thank you to the Poel Workshop team for awarding me a place on such a fantastic workshop! I feel extremely privileged to have taken part and I am so grateful for each and every work shop as I have learnt so much! I can't wait to tackle some Shakespeare soon!
It was such a wonderful experience from the very first audition to the last workshop on Friday and I can't thank you enough! I will 100% be telling everyone about the Poel workshop as I feel every actor who loves Shakespeare should apply next year!
Sophia Hannides
Firstly, I want to tell you that I feel privileged to have met the Poel event team, you are all working on such an important project. In my opinion, the opportunities you offer are truly priceless. With this event alone, you have created a network of young actors and creatives that I'm sure will continue to stay connected, all thanks to the amazing work we were able to do together.
You facilitated and generously offered the opportunity to put my skillset to the test. Every workshop was valuable and connected. Not only did we all get the chance to explore what it means to work with Shakespeare's texts in depth, but we also had the chance to do this with some of the most important people in the sector. As a young professional actor, theatre maker and producer, this is exactly the kind of work I want to be involved with, to continue to develop my understanding of how to approach this work. I think that each professional's enthusiasm to share their knowledge and skills with us says a lot about how important this event really is, not only for introducing skills to young actors in the industry, but also for preserving the techniques that are needed when performing this work in the best possible way.
I had a fantastic time, and will carry all these techniques with me in my future work. I already have a large number of young actor friends who have shown an interest in being involved with next year's workshops. Finally, I have to thank you for the generous help I received to cover my costs when travelling to and from London. So often events like this are made difficult to attend for young actors outside of London, due to travel and accommodation costs. It's really fantastic that you were able to "lighten the load", and make it possible for me to attend.

Where can I find suitable photographs for my business?
A lot of businesses use photos they find online. They do this because of their lack of time and they still want to post on social media, maybe you do it as well. But this isn't allowed, as these images belong to someone else and if you use them without permission and source you can actually get into trouble. I wouldn't like someone else using my photos without my permission neither.
Luckily there are stock photo websites that have suitable pictures for your company. I'm sharing my list of stock photos and tell you all about the pro's and con's.
Stock Photo websites: Are they really free?
I often get asked the question if these websites are actually free. Yes, certain websites and photos are free, even for commercial use. I do advice inspecting the license first as a lot of websites ask you to credit the source. So you can only use those photos with the name of the author and link attached.
There are both free and paid websites, the last two years I've collected a lot of them. But there is a difference between the two. When I'm looking for photos for my clients I check the free images first and the paid afterwards. Shutterstock can charge you a lot, so I always check the free alternatives first.
Stock photo websites are increasing in popularity. Most people know how to find the right image leading to them being overused. Originality and stock photos don't really go hand in hand.
The images are often clichés, I can't stress it enough but a picture of two laughing coworkers sitting at a desk doesn't say a lot about your business. If you search long enough you could find more natural images that could be what you're looking for.
Stock photos say nothing about your business. When I'm taking photos for my clients I use their house style: their colors, text and fonts are always in function of an identity.
So obviously I'm not a fan of stock photos. So I offer my clients photoshoot packages at fixed rates. I visit the locations, work out a moodboard in advance and bring all of the necessities with me.
After editing, I upload all of the photos in a shared online database, that way they can always access these images.
The big advantage of a photoshoot is that all of the photos are in a certain theme, they show the value and identity of your business.
Are you interested in more information? Feel free to mail me at: littlelouvain@gmail.com you can find some of projects on here.

Howard Teichman
HOWARD TEICHMAN (Artistic Director/Director / Producer) As the Artistic Director for the West Coast Jewish Theatre, Howard has dedicated his life in the theatre to bringing Jewish thematic plays to the second largest Jewish community in the United States. During his tenure Mr. Teichman has constantly searched for plays that reflect Jewish values and traditions. He is constantly searching for plays that speak to us as a people, and focus us about the diversity and long history of what it means to be a Jew.
In 2019 Howard directed and produced Mark Leiren Young's 2017 Jewish Plays Project winning script "Bar Mitzvah Boy". The play received wonderful reviews and was a big hit with our audiences and critics alike. In 2018 Howard produced and directed Neil Simon's "Broadway Bound". The play was a huge hit with our audience. The performances were met with rave reviews from both critics and audiences alike. In 2017 Howard brought to the West Coast Jewish Theatre stage his long awaited production of Steven G. Simon and Howard Teichman's "FUGU". This fascinating chapter in our history brought to the attention of our audience, the fact, that the Japanese government saved six thousand Jewish lives from extermination. This show garnered our theater a "Top Ten" listing of all shows in the Los Angeles area.
In 2015 was Hindi Brooks' "ROMANCE.COM". The show was a true crowd pleaser and brought to light that there sparks can fly between lovers even after retirement. In 2014 Howard produced and directed Matthew Lopez's "The Whipping Man" which garnered an "O RECOMMENDED" by The Los Angeles Stage Alliance and was "Critic's Pick" in numerous media outlets throughout the Los Angeles area including the LA Weekly and The LA Times. His production in 2013 of Herb Gardner's "I'm Not Rappaport" was met with delight by all our audiences. In 2012 his production of Mark Harelik's "The Immigrant the Musical" was nominated for an Ovation award for best lead actor in a musical and also that year Howard produced David Ives' "New Jerusalem: The Interrogation of Baruch de Spinoza at Talmud Torah Congregation: Amsterdam, July 27, 1656. That production was a West Coast Premiere and was nominated for a Los Angeles Drama Circle Desk Award for lead actor and play. Both productions were received most favorably by both audiences and critics alike.
Howard also produced a Los Angeles Premiere of James Sherman's "The God of Isaac". This show was quite a crowd pleaser. Howard's production that he directed and co-produced with Theatre 40 and West Coast Jewish Theatre was Murray Schisgal's "LUV". The production garnered a "Critic's Pick" in Back Stage West and for his efforts received a Best Director award from the Beverly Hills Outlook for 2011. Earlier in 2011, Howard produced for the West Coast Jewish Theatre the critically successful and "O RECOMMENDED" by The Los Angeles Stage Alliance "Broken Glass" by Arthur Miller.
During the 2009-2010 season as Producer/Artistic Director for the West Coast Jewish Theatre, Howard produced and directed to critical acclaim and review Neil Simon's "Last of the Red Hot Lovers", Daniel Goldfarb's "Sarah Sarah", and Jeffrey Sweet's "The Value of Names" all at the Pico Playhouse. In 2008, Howard independently produced and directed another one of James Sherman's plays "From Door to Door" at the Electric Lodge. Howard has also directed such successful productions as; Neil Simon's "Lost in Yonkers" and "Rumors", Daniel Goldfarb's "Modern Orthodox", for which he was nominated, best comedy director by The L.A. Weekly. Howard Teichman's "Simcha" for which he wrote, directed, and performed received a Back Stage West "Critics Pick", Howard Teichmann's "Solid Gold Cadillac", and Leon Katz's "The Three Cuckolds" for which he received a Los Angeles Times "Critics Pick", as well.
As a Master's student at UCLA's Theater Department, Howard had the great privilege of being a producing intern at the Mark Taper Forum for Gordon Davidson and worked on the Tony Award winning production of George C. Wolfe's, "Jelly's Last Jam", other productions include; "A Little Night Music" at the Doolittle and Jeremy Lawrence's "Cabaret: Verbotten" at the Itchy Foot. Born in Toronto, Canada, he then moved to Chicago. While in Chicago, he became a member of the prestigious "Second City" improvisational troupe where he wrote and performed an original play called "Commedia" and was an assistant to the director on the original production of David Mamet's "Duck Variations". Howard holds a B.A. and M.F.A in Theatre from UCLA.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (July 2, 2018) — A recent visit to WUKY's new facility on Spurr Road in Lexington has resulted in a new, live music series being held Saturdays this summer on the grounds of the University of Kentucky's NPR station. Commons Crossing series of 10 free concerts kicks off 7 p.m. Saturday, July 7, with Joslyn and The Sweet Compression performing live from the lawn behind WUKY's studio at 2640 Spurr Road.
The performance will also be aired live on WUKY 91.3 FM and online at www.wuky.org.
The idea for the Commons Crossing concert series originated when Ed Commons, producer of "Red Barn Radio," which airs on WUKY from 8 to 9 p.m. Saturdays, visited WUKY and was impressed not only with the studio facilities, but also with the beautiful patio and lawn behind the building. WUKY General Manager Tom Godell agreed to the idea that gives radio listeners in Central Kentucky and worldwide online the opportunity to learn more about the Lexington music scene.
Commons Crossing refers to a railroad crossing because a rail line is near the venue and will add to the outdoor ambiance of the events.
The free concerts will be held at 7 p.m. each Saturday through Sept. 8. Concertgoers are recommended to bring a blanket or lawn chair. Concerts will be held rain or shine.
Matt Wickstrom, who hosts a program on Lexington Community Radio, will host the Commons Crossing series, which is also sponsored by VisitLex and Ale 8 One.
Additional information and the artist list are online at www.WUKY.org. and https://www.facebook.com/commonscrossing/.


I saw this video the other day on Lifehacker and thought I'd give it a go. Well, I'm pleased to say I've made scrambled eggs using Gordon Ramsey's method several times now - without the crème fraîche though - and each time they come out lovely and smooth and no where near the rubbery things I used to make.
Oh, and I didn't do the whole sourdough toast and roast tomatoes either: just plain and simple scrambled eggs on toast.

Winding up an estate still takes longer than before the pandemic - what you can do
Laura du Preez, editor of Smart About Money
For more financial news, go to the News24 Business front page.
The timelines for winding up an estate have improved since the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic but are still likely to take longer than before Covid, as pandemic backlogs and other problems persist.A year was a good expectation for an estate where the deceased left a sound will and the estate was dealt with by an experienced executor, Angelique Visser, Fiduciary Institute of Southern Africa (FISA) National Councillor, says.
During the pandemic, however, timelines deteriorated, making it common for any estate to take two years to wind up, FISA reported last year. Increased deaths during the pandemic were responsible for much of the delays, but the offices of the Master of the High Court (the Master's Offices) also took much longer to issue the letters that appoint executors, approve the estate accounts and authorise the distribution of estate assets to the heirs.
Bank delays frustrate estate professionals
Recently FISA has expressed its frustration with delays caused by banks and banks have admitted they too were slowed up by Covid and are still catching up.
To wind up an estate, the executor of the estate needs information about, among other things, your deceased family member's bank accounts and investments. The accounts then need to be closed and the balances or investments transferred into a bank account in the estate's name.The executor also needs the tax certificates for those accounts in order to file the deceased's tax return and the estate's return.
Ian Brink, chairperson of FISA, said banks are dragging their feet on these three tasks.He says banks have different procedures which they sometimes change without consultation, leading to confusion among bank staff, as well as much frustration for FISA members trying to help families wind up estates.
Months to respond
Visser says practitioners are now able to obtain a letter of executorship from the Master's Office within two to three weeks, but then battle for three to four months for a response from some of the banks. She says she has approached the senior management of several banks for assistance but there has been no improvement.
Aneesa Razack, chief executive officer of FNB Fiduciary, says Covid-19 negatively affected the industry's processes for winding up deceased estates. In addition to the increase in deaths, there has been an increase in fraud and administrative hurdles that are frequently beyond the control of executors and/or banks, she says.
Razack says banks are working through the Banking Association of South Africa with the Chief Master's Office to address the challenges and minimise the adverse impact on the families of those who have died. FNB is also trying to shorten the time it takes to wind up estates by increasing its capacity to help its clients and improving the processing of smaller estates using digital platforms, she says.
Two weeks to close account
Graham Mcpherson, head of Nedgroup Trust, says once the correct documents have been submitted, it takes 14 days to close an account and pay any money into the estate account.
Delays are primarily due to outages on the Master's Office portal that banks and estate practitioners use and the need to get all the necessary documents from different parties, Mcpherson says. All of this has been compounded by the large volumes of estates currently experienced, he says.
During the peak of the pandemic the Master's Offices worked at 50% capacity and closed frequently when staff became ill. The offices and the Department of Justice's computer system also suffered a ransomware attack in July 2021.
IT problems
The Master's Offices are now open but continue to be plagued by computer problems, the recent FISA conference heard. Martin Mafojane, the Chief Master of the High Court, said the Master's Offices do not have stable and reliable IT infrastructure resulting in the offices' portal frequently being unavailable to professionals dealing with estates.
He said the offices fall within the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development which has now realised that rather than relying on contractors, it needs to recruit competent, qualified and skilful people to provide the tools that the offices require.
Confidence lost
Bongiwe Adonis, assistant manager at the Cape Town Master of the High Court, said the Master's Office realised that practitioners and the public had lost confidence in it and that it needs to modernise its systems.
Online registration of deceased estates and trusts is one goal, and the aim is to have a user-friendly system like the South African Revenue Service's eFiling system, enabling registration of an estate from anywhere in the world, she says. But we are not there yet, an in the meantime, members of FISA, the Legal Practice Council and the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants can use a self-help system available at the Master's Offices to register estates, she says.
The Master's Offices have committed to processing applications registered this way within 10 days, Adonis says.
Estates that are not registered on this self-help system – for example when documents are couriered to the Master's Office have a 21-day turnaround time from the time, she said. If the timeline is not met, the Master's Office must explain the delay, she says. Information is also being pulled from the Department of Home Affairs so that dependants can be identified and fraudulent activities minimised, Adonis says. With these and other initiatives, the Master's Offices are headed towards better and improved services by 2025, she says.
Both Standard Bank and Nedbank said delays in dealing with deceased's accounts are often a result of families not knowing what documents must be submitted when and by whom. Both banks provide step-by-step assistance helping you to understand the process and requirements, they say.
Standard Bank's Ross Linstrom encourages families and executors to contact the bank as soon as possible for assistance and guidance. If emergency access to the deceased's finances is required, this can be arranged if the necessary information is provided to the bank, he says.

Suncor Energy invests in carbon capture technology company Svante
Posted By: Redazione Web 18 Marzo 2021
Svante Series D Funding boosted to $100 MillionAdditional $25M Funding brings Suncor Energy as new strategic investorVANCOUVER, British Columbia and CALGARY, Alberta, March 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Suncor and Svante Inc. today announced an equity financing agreement which provides Svante with the additional growth capital to accelerate the commercialization of Svante's novel second generation CO2 capture technology in North America for the decarbonization of industrial emissions and hydrogen production.Combined, Suncor and a number of family office investors have invested $25 million USD of equity financing, bringing the total proceeds raised under Svante's Series D financing to $100 million USD, up from $75 million as announced on February 2nd, 2021, and completing the largest single private investment into point source carbon capture technology globally to date.This final closing of the Series D financing includes Canadian energy company, Suncor Energy, and Carbon Direct SPV I LLC. Existing investors Temasek, Chart Industries, Carbon Direct, OGCI Climate Investments, BDC Cleantech Practice, Chevron Technology Ventures, The Roda Group, Chrysalix Venture Capital and Export Development Canada (EDC) also participated in the Series D round, reflecting strong on-going support for the Company, including its market strategy and recent progress.Svante has now attracted more than $175 million USD in total funding since it was founded in 2007 to develop and commercialize its breakthrough solid sorbent technology at half the capital cost of traditional engineered solutions."Svante has generated a pipeline of potential new project opportunities capturing over 40 million tonnes of CO2 per year before 2030 from natural gas industrial boilers, cement and lime, and blue hydrogen industrial facilities, mainly in North America and spurred by both US and Canada federal CO2 tax credits and prices on CO2 emissions. The net-zero pledges of major countries and large corporations is also a key driver for the interest and rapid growth of the carbon capture and storage new industry," said Claude Letourneau, President & CEO of Svante Inc. "We strive to create world-changing solutions that address climate change and accelerate the global transition to carbon neutrality, reversing human impact on the climate and building a commercially viable CO2 marketplace."According to Mark Little, President & CEO of Suncor, "Carbon Capture is a strategic technology area for Suncor to reduce GHG emissions in our base business and produce blue hydrogen as an energy product. An investment in Svante is expected to support the acceleration of commercial scale deployment of a technology that has the potential to dramatically reduce the cost associated with carbon capture. We are excited to become both an investor in and a collaborative partner with the company." "We are pleased to partner with a leading Canadian player in the energy industry, along-side existing investor Cenovus, and to benefit not only from their financial support but also their commitment to deliver low-carbon fuels and blue hydrogen to transform the energy system," said Claude Letourneau.Supporting Svante with the transaction were financial advisors Fort Capital Partners and Full Circle Capital, and legal counsel Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP.About Svante
Svante offers companies in emissions-intensive industries a commercially viable way to capture large-scale CO2 emissions from existing infrastructure, either for safe storage or to be used for further industrial use in a closed loop. With the ability to capture CO2 directly from industrial sources at less than half the capital cost of existing solutions, Svante makes industrial-scale carbon capture a reality.

You will feel some tightness when the anesthetic wears off. A head wrap will be placed following the procedure and is left in place until the first morning after the surgery. Dr. Velargo does not use drains. Pain will be minimal, but the constrictive nature of the head wrap may be uncomfortable to some patients. The majority of our patients find this very tolerable, however.
Swelling, bruising, and soreness are to be expected after a rhytidectomy, but post-operative instructions and recommended medications will be given to ease any discomfort. You must be willing to accept temporary swelling, lumpiness, and discoloration. Though somewhat visually disconcerting, most people feel it is a negligible inconvenience to pay for the physical and psychological improvement they experience.
The head wrap system that Dr. Velargo uses also has integrated ice packs specifically designed to contour to your face. Frequent application of these cool compresses for the first 72 hours helps to speed the healing process along, as well as application of topical Arnica Montana for any visible bruising.
Incisions are cared for 4-6 times per day by cleansing the incision lines with hydrogen peroxide and applying bacitracin ointment. For dark-haired individuals, Dr. Velargo recommends cleansing the incisions with witch hazel to avoid bleaching the hair with hydrogen peroxide.
You must avoid turning the head or stretching the neck for 2 weeks. When you turn, move the shoulders and head as one unit or as though you had a "stiff neck." This is important to prevent stretching the healing incisions and causing the scars to widen, as well as to prevent putting tension on the deep sutures beneath the skin, which could cause them to pull loose. Because of this risk, we advise patients to not drive for 2 weeks following surgery.
In order to minimize swelling, you are advised to sleep with the head of your bed elevated or in a recliner for 2-4 weeks post-op. The most common cause of pain post-operatively is not from the surgery itself but from improper posture while sleeping on your back. The hips, back, and head should be in a straight line whenever you are lying down.
With some make-up, your hair worn down, a neck scarf, and thick-rimmed sunglasses, you should be able to go out in public within a few days with minimal attention drawn to yourself. Most patients take 2 weeks off from work after a rhytidectomy and are able to resume their exercise regimen within 3-4 weeks.
Parts of the face, neck, ears, and scalp will feel weak or "numb" after the facelift operation. This is to be expected and is usually temporary. It may take several weeks or, on rare occasions, months for this to subside, however. The top of the head may itch or exhibit numbness for 6-12 months.
The skin of the face may feel tight for a while, and you may feel that it interferes with normal facial expressions. This should disappear within a few weeks when swelling subsides.
After all stitches and/or clips have been removed, the scars will appear deep pink in color. There will be varying amounts of swelling in and around the scars themselves. With the passage of time, the pink should become white, the firmness of the scar should soften, and they should become less noticeable. Each individual varies with respect to healing, but it takes approximately one year for these changes to occur and for scars to "mature." But if you stretch the fresh scars, expect them to respond by getting thicker in order to "protect" themselves.
Some crusting may occur around incision sites. We can recommend additional measures to soften them, should crusting or thickening occur. Keep in mind that all incisions are designed by Dr. Velargo to minimize visible scarring. So; most scars are easily camouflaged by makeup and hairstyling.
As a rule, 80% of swelling is gone in 2 weeks, and 90% of swelling is generally gone by 2 months. So, do not evaluate the results of your surgery too soon. While you will look younger right away, face lifts continue to show subtle refinement for a significant period of time.
It is not unusual for some people to go through a period of depression after surgery. No matter how much they wanted the operation beforehand and how much they were informed about what to expect postoperatively, patients are concerned when they see their face swollen and, perhaps discolored.
Please be patient and realize that this is a temporary condition, which will subside shortly. The best "treatment" consists of busying yourself with the details of post-operative care and trying to divert your attention to other thoughts (T.V., a book, an unhurried walk in a peaceful place, or an automobile ride along the lakefront).
How long do the results of rhytidectomy last?
The duration of the results achieved with a face and neck lift cannot always be accurately predicted. If sagging was severe, it will obviously take years before the condition becomes as bad as it was before surgery. If the natural degenerative process in the skin is occurring rapidly, wrinkling and sagging will also accumulate more rapidly. This is precisely when "tuck-up" or "spot-welding" procedures are helpful.
A facelift generally helps turn back the clock about 10 years in most patients, but it does not stop the ticking. Nevertheless, most patients look forever younger than had they not had the procedure done at all. The excess skin and fat in the neck and lower jaw is removed at surgery. Any slack seen in the post-operative period is a result of continued aging and breaking down of the skin that remains.
Had the surgery not been performed, the patient would have the "new" sags on top of the "old" sags, which were removed at surgery. Tuck-ups help maintain a youthful appearance in the patient who chooses to have additional surgery. Tuck-ups are generally less extensive, less expensive, and quite effective. Dr. Velargo is also experienced in performing revision rhytidectomy.
Face lifts and neck lifts are cosmetic procedures, so insurance carriers do not cover these surgeries.

We are Sorry (July 9, 2013)
Litho plate for full page broadsheet printing
Aluminium and ink
We are Sorry (July 9, 2013) appears as the 'response' to Desert Island, the opening work in Adam Chodzko's exhibition at Raven Row, London, We are Ready for Your Arrival , which unfolds as a series of events that arise from the apparent failure of a 60′ palm tree to arrive in time to be the central part of the exhibition. This major installation which explores the materialisation, through objects, texts and images, of the processes of artistic creative production; its expectations, ambitions, coincidences, irrational leaps and failures. The manifestations of these experiences are then paralleled through references to environmental transformation and collapse.
Dated (July 9th, 2013), two days before the exhibition's opening, We are Sorry appears to be a printing plate for a broadsheet newspaper. But the plate is rejected, marked with a red wax cross. Whilst it alludes to something having gone wrong the preparation of the plate also seems to have run into problems, showing blurred text and spatters of ink.
The announcement 'We are Sorry' seems to refer to the image of the red Palm Weevil below it; an apology for this insect, or perhaps issued by this insect. The mis-registered text, just about legible, plots the movement of this invasive species as it spread from Asia to the West, through palm trees often hastily imported in order to beautify a city at a moment of self-consciousness, when the 'world is looking' (for example in the lead up to the Olympic Games in Athens and Barcelona). The final line ends apocalyptically with the words ...and all the palms will die.
The notion of issuing a public apology via a newspaper advertisement refers directly to Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation apology, printed in UK national newspapers in July 2011, as an attempt to seek forgiveness from the British public for the phone hacking scandal. It also refers more generally to the discourse surrounding national apologies for historical abuses (eg; colonialism, slavery, Bloody Sunday, Apartheid, etc). In this context the issuing (whether by Red Palm Weevils or on their behalf) of a public apology in a newspaper for the failure of an object to arrive at an art exhibition suggests either delusions of grandeur, an over-developed sense of social responsibility, or a different reality where art is valued across society as being absolutely integral to its concerns. Apology also plays an important role in Chodzko's interest in intimate personal relations, often complicated with the additional clause that partially or even wholly negates it as a truly surrendered; "I am sorry, but…"

The beach wraps around the Wirral peninsula like a sandy collar stretching some twenty-five miles in length, and the display of Blue Flags reveals its rank as one of Europe's cleanest beaches.
A person can follow the boardwalk over the reed beds and marshes, where natterjack toads breed and migrating birds gather. Or they might prefer the marina walk, with its sailboarders and yachts, which runs parallel to West Kirby promenade. A third choice, tides permitting, would be the hike over the exposed Dee Estuary sands to Little Eye, Middle Eye and Hilbre Islands.
The late summer sunshine can bring out the crowds - relatively speaking. This photo of the busiest stretch of West Kirby beach shows plenty of space despite the influx of sunbathers and kite flyers. You can't miss the beach. Just walk out of the small train station and follow the increasing levels of sand down Dee Lane and there it is, a wide expanse of dark gold stretching towards the three little islands, the Irish Sea and Wales.
Opt for a mid-week of out-of-season visit, however, and you'll be likely to have the place virtually to yourself.
However, as can be seen in these photos, which where all taken on Sunday, 13th September, 2009, this traditional Georgian seaside village can offer a few surprises.
Map showing West Kirby, Wirral.
West Kirby beach, with the Welsh hills and Little Eye on the horizon.
Once upon a time, a fair few centuries ago, Wirral was considered Welsh territory. Welsh and Irish Celts lived here alongside Viking settlers and a few Anglo-Saxons. Surviving artifacts show an artistic fusion of these four cultures, a phenomena only seen elsewhere in Northumberland. Many of Wirral's place-names come from this period of history.
The invading Romans brought their usual imposition of law and order - or more accurately, their version of it. The Celts and Vikings had, in fact, a complex and rather sophisticated legal system of their own but the Romans wanted everything their own way. To ensure this was achieved, they massacred a huge majority of the lawyers - more usually known as Druids - at Anglesey, which isn't too far away (by sail round the coast.) That these Druids also controlled the export of gold might be entirely co-incidental.
The Romans eventually decided they didn't like our weather and, besides, they were needed back in Italy where their own neighbours had turned on them. Wirral life became peaceful once more.
And then the Normans' arrived and really upset the applecart. Wirral would no longer be Welsh, they decided, but a part of the Chester diocese. And the locals found the ground beneath their feet (and all the hunting and grazing it might provide) was now the property of the new sheriff thanks to the brutally enforced enclosure laws.
There were pirates here, too. Hilbre Island and the Dee Estuary was notorious for piracy in the 17th Century. And then, a while later, the Georgians arrived and gentrified the place, building lovely sandstone houses and tall sandstone walls.
In 1974, on April Fool's Day, somebody decided Wirral was no longer in Cheshire but was a part of Merseyside. The resulting dispute continues to this day.
And we all lived happily ever after - more or less.
The promenade and beach are just over the wall. Benches in the circular garden, and the wobbly geese on poles were installed by the Friends of Coronation Gardens.
The Irish Sea is famous for its winds. The spring and autumn storms which rage over Wirral are an experience in themselves. One such storm threw our six-foot tall wooden drive gates clear across the garden.
So if a stroll along West Kirby beach or promenade proves a little too invigorating, slip through a narrow gap in the wall beside the prom cafe, and walk into Coronation Gardens.
Shrubbery edging Banks Road where you'll find many shops, cafes, restaurants and private residences.
West Kirby is famous for its elegant Georgian architecture.
The main entrance of Coronation Gardens opens onto Banks Road, which is lined with cafes, restaurants and shops. Turn left into Church Road, then into Ashton Park.
On the far bank you can see members of the model boating club preparing to launch their mini ships. The ducks and geese don't seem to be concerned.
On the sunny grass tennis courts near the rose gardens, people sit to enjoy the free brass band concert organised by the Friends of Ashton Park.
A quiet lane leading from Ashton Park to Grange Road. Either turn left to arrive back at the train station, or cross the road to Darmond's Green.
All around West Kirby are robust sandstone walls. These were built under the supervision of William de Grouchy, and in recognition of his work he was given a little cottage on De Grouchy Street, off Darmond's Green. De Grouchy Street is the only "street" in the village, and the cottage was built from the same red sandstone used for the village's miles of walls.
Darmond's Green boasts lovely architecture in its private houses, much of it dating from Georgian times.
Walk up Leigh Road and follow the trodden-flat route through tall bracken to the summit of Grange Hill.
Be warned - wear stout shoes or risk injury. The path is steep, stony and very uneven. A much easier route can be found on Black Horse Hill, up a concrete slope and along a rough grassy track.
The view from the top of Grange Hill, however, is stunning!
The climb uphill can be steep - but wait till you see the view!
Looking from the top of Grange Hill over West Kirby village to the beach. Middle Eye and Hilbre Islands are on the horizon.
The view from Grange Hill to Hoylake. Look closely and you can even see the local football team at play.
From the top of Grange Hill, the tip of the peninsula is laid out like a patchwork quilt of farmland and houses, businesses, churches and golf courses. You can see Leasowe Lighthouse and Bidston Hill Observatory and the dockland cranes of Birkenhead, and over to the changing skyline of busy Liverpool. The towers of the two cathedrals act as obvious landmarks.
Or you can look out to sea and watch ferries and tankers sail in or out of the mouth of the River Mersey and, if you change direction and have good eyesight, you might be able to find the dark, indistinct shapes of seals basking on West Hoyle Sandbank beyond Hilbre Island.
And you'll tell yourself to bring binoculars next time.
The exit comes out on Black Horse Hill, which leads right back to Grange Road and the train station and beach. The war memorial can be seen on the photo's horizon.

Thank you, Lucia and Michael; I'm glad you enjoyed this page.
Fascinating! Thanks for this super well-written trip down memory lane. I know the Wirral well (or should I say I did, having lived in France for a long time) because my family lives in Liverpool.

Privatisation is driven by the belief that public ownership is cost inefficient, in particular under monopoly. However, some theoretical and empirical studies have questioned whether privatisation will necessarily lead to efficiency gains. This paper focuses on the impact of ownership when owners can be either active or passive. Active owners decide on output, whereas passive owners delegate this decision to a risk-averse manager. It turns out that managerial slack as reflected in the marginal costs will actually be the same or higher in a private monopoly than under public ownership. The impact of entry is theoretically ambiguous, but an increased number of firms in an oligopoly may lead to lower efficiency. © 2007 Springer-Verlag Wien.

In a major cooperative effort to improve mathematics learning in the critical first two years of college, five mathematical sciences professional societies (AMS, AMATYC, ASA, MAA, and SIAM) have joined forces to address a wide range of issues that affect the first two years of collegiate mathematics.
The efforts are broadly directed toward students with a wide range of college and career aspirations and they reflect a powerful collective effort rather than an attempt to make one size fit all. To help develop broad based support, this work is being done in consultation with teacher and K-12 educators' organizations.
Many of the key issues being addressed have been highlighted in reports such as PCAST's Engage to Excel and the National Academies' The Mathematical Sciences in 2025 (Math 2025). Although many of the programs were underway prior to these reports, they can be viewed as part of the constructive response by the mathematical community to these reports and to the impact of the ongoing implementation of Common Core State Standards. Collectively they address the needs to adjust curriculum design, pedagogical approaches and preparation for changing workforce demands and expectations. They also address professional development to help college faculty prepare for the important challenges, both those that are long standing and those that emerge from proposed responses.
These various initiatives were all among those featured at the recent CBMS Forum on the First Two Years of College Math: Building Student Success (October 2014). Like the Forum, the listed projects have all been generously funded by public and private foundations including the National Science Foundation. Taken together these different but complementary projects represent a concerted collective approach to issues of mathematics education during the critical transition from high school through the first two years of college.
We, the undersigned CBMS member society presidents, express our support for the efforts of these professional societies and we encourage the continuation and expansion of these initiatives in consultation with the teacher educator and K-12 communities.

The "Florentine commesso" or "Florentine mosaic" is an artistic technique that had its peak at the Medici court. The term "commesso" comes from the Latin committere (joining). This technique uses various kinds of stones, cut with a metal wire, according to a precise design, then glued on rigid supports such as tables, furniture and then polished. Traditionally flowers, landscapes and figures are reproduced with the use of various coloured stones.

Some of the things we do in life lead us astray. Sometimes we become down. But by hearing your words we become closer, more near, to what we long for. We find people who may not know us but care and that to me means more than you know. By reading this you've shown more than you know.
We constantly search for someone to connect with on another level beyond mere social normitys. The essence of it all is at a fundamental basic, pen and paper. But I find beauty in words, beauty in the fact people care. Though I may be lost, there's hope. No matter how slim, there is a piece. You are my hope, something that releases me from these walls, someone to grow close to.
To me, you are my hope!
And that can either make someone grand or sheltered in abysmal darkness, a darkness we've all come to know. Would you be my light against what shines? I suppose we shall see.

In this week's edition of the Clarity Clinic, GMO's ESG practice manager, Hardik Shah talks about the challenges preventing wider ESG adoption in Asia, and outlines the subtle differences between investors in the region and the wider world.
1. What do you consider to be the current highest profile ESG topics for global investors?
Globally, climate change is the number one topic by far, but we have also seen an increased client interest in issues relating to the environment. With climate, there has been far more investor activism around the topic.
Companies have been pretty much waiting for regulation before making their move, although there have been a few that are already transitioning their businesses. There are a new set of influencers that are trying to pressurise companies, which has had significant influence. That will accelerate behaviour, particularly in Asia.
2. What do you consider to be the biggest driver of changing corporate behaviour in Asia on climate issues – regulation or investor influence?
It is more investor action rather than regulation because regulation is still catching up. The Chinese Carbon Trading Scheme is one of the few examples where regulation is actually driving change in the market. But, in the rest of Asia, it is investor influence.
There is also a changing business reality. If you look at India, for example, the government is pushing solar, and the cost has drastically reduced which has made it very competitive. It is no longer purely about doing something good for the world.
3. Much has been made about the growing investment potential that exists in renewables globally, is that also the case in Asia or do regional dynamics make this investment case difficult?
In South East Asia, governments want to do more, but they can't as the quality of grid is the challenge. Renewables have established their viability to act as a substitute for baseload in many areas and there has been an improvement in storage technology. As a result, governments in parts of Asia, such as India and China are now looking to improve the grid infrastructure. Grid connectivity is not necessarily the best it can be in all countries.
4. Are there other themes that are unique to the Asian region as far as building an ESG investment case is concerned?
Yes. Take the environmental impact of supply chain and supply chain risk from both an environmental and a social perspective. This is particularly the case with palm oil. A lot of the global supply of palm oil comes from plantations in Indonesia and Malaysia.
The slash and burn activities that are used in Indonesia to clear forests cause a lot of environmental pollution, particularly in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. As a result, there has been a lot of investor interest in stopping that behaviour.
There has also been work in terms of monitoring labour practices, as many in the industry can be stuck in really low paying jobs. Investors are keen to ensure that plantations are offering a minimum wage and not exploiting the poor to make a profit.
While we haven't liaised directly with companies on this topic at GMO, I have seen investor coalitions looking at this from an engagement perspective, who are trying to collectively influence companies.
5. How would you describe levels of ESG awareness among Asia investors?
Demand from Asia is barely there and discussions are very limited. Actions are very much from a regional perspective. While we have been having discussions with large asset owners in the region, and they have been enquiring about why ESG makes sense, there is hardly any money being allocated. People don't want to make the first move. They are very hesitant.
There has been a lot of talk, but not much action. Excluding Japan and Australia, demand from Asia is low but the conversations are increasing. When we have a prospect meeting, things are changing, but I would still say we are far away from vast sums of money being allocated.
6. What needs to change to make that happen?
If the regulators, industry bodies, trade associations, banks and investment managers upped their games or there were some more regulations, it would get the ball rolling here. Enough has been said in terms of educating people as to why this makes sense.
There needs to be some guidelines form a regulator. The Monetary Authority of Singapore is the one of the most influential here. In 2018, they have shown a lot of interest in Green Bonds and equities. They are being more explicit about what are the barriers and they can support the wider adoption of green finance, so momentum is building here.
The stock exchanges are also involved and they are a bit of ahead of the curve and the level of disclosure is improving.


Chinese smartphone manufacturer Huawei has announced it is launching the Mate X in India in the second half of 2019. The arrival was confirmed by Wally Yang, who is the director of product marketing at Huawei, in interaction with select reporters in Delhi. Huawei originally revealed its Mate X foldable phone at MWC Barcelona last month.
"[This] device will be ready for a global launch in the middle of this year, and our India team wants to bring the Mate X this year, probably in the second half," Yang told indianexpress.com. He didn't reveal the price of the foldable phone, but said the Mate X is targeted at early adopters and premium customers. Yang's comment could indicate that Huawei's first foldable phone will be positioned as an ultra high-end device.
The phone is powered by a Kirin 980 processor and Balong 5000 chipset, which supports 5G. The company claims that 1GB movie can be downloaded in just 3 seconds. It has two batteries, which, in total measure up to 4500mAh and includes a 55W Super Charge support. Read our first look of Mate X here.
Internationally, the Mate X will sell for 2,299 euros ($2,600) when it goes on sale by mid-year in Europe. That's way more expensive than Samsung's Galaxy Fold, which costs at nearly $2000. The latter smartphone might come to India as well, but its release date is still shrouded in mystery.
Foldable phones are already seen as the next big thing in the saturated smartphone market worldwide, although industry insiders believe the market for such devices will be limited initially due to sky high prices. Other than Huawei and Samsung, Motorola, Xiaomi, Oppo and TCL have confirmed to be working on foldable phones. Google and Apple, meanwhile, have filed multiple patents for the device with a foldable screen.

Residents evacuated after apartment fire in Bristol

NOW: Residents evacuated after apartment fire in Bristol
BRISTOL, Ind. -- People living in one Bristol apartment building had to be evacuated out into the bitter cold after an apartment fire early Thursday morning.
The fire started just after 3:30 a.m. in the ceiling of an upstairs apartment at the Golfview Manor Apartments on the 1300 block of West Vistula Street in Bristol. Firefighters believe there are 10 people displaced.
Officials say they put the fire out in about 20 minutes, but the flames left extensive damage and they had to shut power off in the middle section of thet building.
Firefighters say the displaced people will be out of their homes for at least 24 to 48 hours. The Red Cross assisted victims. The Elkhart County Humane Society also helped with pets in the building.
People needing additional assistance are asked to go to the Bristol Fire Station or contact the Red Cross.
A cause has not been determined. The case is now in the hands of the state fire marshal.
No injuries have been reported.
Tim Barrett lives at the end of the building. He says he and his girlfriend were sleeping when they heard a beating on the door and firefighters telling them to get out.
"It sucks," said Barrett. "We'll probably just go stay at my brothers tonight. Some of these people it's going to hurt pretty bad. One lady didn't even have a car to sit in. She had two little kids. They let her sit in the ambulance."

Almanaque Disney é uma revista de história em quadrinhos (banda desenhada) Disney, publicada mensalmente pela Editora Abril. A publicação foi inspirada na revista estadunidense "Walt Disney's Comic Digest" da Gold Key Comics, selo da Western Publishing.

A primeira edição foi publicada em 4 de dezembro de 1970.

Ao fim de 372 números, em julho de 2005, a revista foi cancelada. Foi substituída pela revista Aventuras Disney, porém, sem o mesmo sucesso pois durou apenas 48 edições, até julho de 2009.

A revista procurava dar espaço a histórias de vários personagens Disney em uma só edição, com maior ênfase nos que mais apareciam na mídia no momento, por exemplo, adaptações de filmes Disney e histórias com personagens dos filmes clássicos e das séries TV como Zorro. Também incluía vinhetas de uma página sobre a natureza e vida animal.

Em maio de 2017, a editora resolveu ressuscitar o título, retomando a numeração interrompida. Com isso, os demais almanaques foram cancelados, 15 números depois, em julho de 2018, a editora deixa de publicar banda desenhada da Disney após 68 anos.

A small bay, 30 km on the south part of the city of Zante in the mountainous region of Volimes. In the bay's entrance is located the small uninhabitable islet of Ag. Nikolaos. Its deep waters are ideal for swimming and its natural small port is always full of sailing boats, fishing boats and small boats leaving to go to the Blue Caves and Navagio.
A very beautiful beach in of the voes that are spread along the region of Vassilikos on the south- eastern par of the island. It is 15 km away from the city of Zante and it owes its name to the chapel of Ai Nikolas located close to it.
Alikes, a broad beach with thin sand and swallow safe waters located on the north- eastern part of the island attracts the family tourism. The beach of Alikes offers the possibility of a number of sea sports. The region owes its name to the salt pits located on the beach.
Right after the beach of Alykes you may find Alykanas, a new rapidly developing resort center. It is believed that ancient Arkadia, the first town of the city of Zante, was built here.
Argassi, another rapidly developing tourist region, with a large sandy beach where lots of smaller beaches are formed in voes, is offered for summer visitors who love carefree live day and night. It is located close to the village that bears the same name. The small distance from the city of Zante ( just 4 km ) makes it one of the most popular summer destinations in the island.
Gerakas, one of the quiet and protected beaches that the sea turtle caretta – caretta usually prefers for its reproduction. Wide, spacious beach with thin sand in a beautiful location in the most south part of the island.
Kalamaki, on the south part, 7 km from the city of Zante, is a quite offshore center with another wonderful beach with swallow and warm waters that is rendered in an ideal place of recreation for all visitors. Actually, it is an extension of the beach of the bay of Laganas. that lived there.
A picturesque beach 14 km from the city, very close to the green- clad village of Keri ( a picturesque village reminding of old Zante. Built on a high point, with green- clad hills, narrow alleys and lots of stone houses, it looks like it came out from an old time. The view to the Ionian from the Lighthouse of Keri is extraordinary. A view with a sunset that fascinates all lucky visitors ). The Lake of Keri took her name after a big lake that was located there which has been drained now. From a long time ago, there was the source of Irodotos jetting water containing tar used by the residents to calk their ships. In the region there are traditional Taverns and lovely Bars where you may spend a very nice evening. On the beach road there are diving schools, a very interesting activity for the visitors. Across the beach of the Lake of Keri dominates Marathonissi (or Marathias' island ) which is imposingly decorating the bay of Laganas. The nature there is exotic, the beach is very clean and the waters are crystal. Apart from the two beaches, the pebbled- one and the sandy one, you may find wealth flora, olive trees, green oak trees and pines as well as lots of fennel after which the island took its name. In the blond sandy beach which lays like a tongue in the sea the turtles Caretta-Caretta make their nests. Guards of the National Sea Park stay there in permanence and protect the island, the turtle and her eggs. In the steep pebbled beach there are two small sea caves where you can enter in a small craft. At the edge of the beach of the Lake of Keri there is a small port where the region's fishing boats, the visitors' sailing boats and all small boats that are performing journeys can anchor. In these small boats you can visit the neighboring beaches where you may find some of the most beautiful caves and arches such as the small and the big Mizithra, the Kamares and the famous Lakes of Keri.
Laganas, on the south, 11 km from the city of Zante, in the most fertile valley of the island, among olive groves and raisin vineyards, with its infinite beach, 9 km in longitude, is maybe the biggest beach in Greece attracting the largest traffic during the summer. Cosmopolitan place with hotels, rooms to let and camping is the ideal place not only for the " vivid " visitors but for quiet family holidays as well. In the bay of Laganas you may also find the three islands of Pelouzo, Marathonissi and Ag. Sostis. In its wide beach you may also see the sea turtle Caretta – Caretta. Laganas offers a great variety of any kind of store, bar, restaurant and sea sports.
The beach is located in the region of Volimes, 25 km on the north part of the city of Zante and in a beautiful small bay. It consists of pebbles and its crystal, cool waters are ideal for those who love swimming.
On the eastern part of the island where the landscape is rocky and beaches are small and quiet and waters are crystal blue the well known Navagio beach makes its mark, close to the mountainous village of Anafonitria. Crystl- clear waters, white sand, the corpse of a ship ( which was illegally transporting cigarettes and was wrecked in 1983 ) impressively half- drawn in the sand compose un unexpectedly fantastic scenery. The access to the beach is only realized by the sea. Small boats leave every day for the Navagio beach from the neighboring Porto Vromi, the city of Zante but from other points of the island as well.
Porto Roma, one of the most popular beaches, is located in the region of Vassilikos. A quiet beach with crystl blue waters and greens that go down to the sea. It was named after Alexandros Romas, an eminent noble of Zante who had a house in the region.
Porto Zoro in the green- clad region of Vassilikos, 17 km from the city of Zante, is a small, idyllic beach with crystal blue waters and greens that almost touch the waves. The two rocks located in its end right inside the sea make the landscape really impressive.
Large in longitude sandy beach, with swallow and warm waters, is located at 6 kilometers on the north part of the city of Zante, in the village of Planos, a region where, during the last years, its development and modernization are quite impressive year after year constituting a tourist resort for lots of visitors. It offers a great variety of tourist facilities. On its north part there is a Venetian Vardiola ( old Watch Tower ), whereas across its south end, you may find the island of Vodi. In its long beach there are lots of bars, restaurants and sea sports as well, while the north winds which usually blow in the region, make the beach ideal for windsurfing.
At 20 km on the north part of the city of Zante, a very small beach, one of the most picturesque with pebbles and a characteristic smell of brimstone due to the brimstone source located in a close cave, is the Xygkia beach. Because of the content of brimstone in the source waters, white pieces reminding of grease are thrown in the sea. The beach was named after that ( xygki in Greek means fat ). The region's inhabitants believe that swimming in these waters is therapeutic for cases of arthritis, rheumatism.
