Nestled on a quiet forested hillside next to Hisuien Gardens, Nanasha Shrine is not a particularly large shrine, but it hides a few surprising secrets.
Next to the shrine's worship hall sits Rakan-do, a small Buddhist Shrine housing the Gohyaku Rakan or '500 Arhats.' These myriad stone statues were hand-carved in the early 1800s by Gyokusui, head priest of the nearby (now-defunct) Shozenji Temple. After 10 years of carving, he had amassed a collection of 555 statues which can be seen today.
The statues are said to represent the disciples of Gautama Buddha and legend says that if you meditate upon them long enough, you will find your own face among the carvings.


Born into a noble Barcelona family in 1880, Francesc de Moxó i de Sentmenat was the son of the Marquesa de Sant Mori and became FC Barcelona in 1913, when founder Joan Gamper stood down due to business commitments.
He was elected at an assembly held at the Colegio Condal on June 30th 1913, which was attended by 700 club members and obtained 183 votes beating Gaspar Rosés with 172 votes and Joaquim Peris with 59 votes into second and third places respectively.
The tenth president of FC Barcelona put an end to the long-standing disputes with the Catalan and Spanish Federations and in fact, became president of the Football Federació Catalana de Futbol in 1913 having co-founded and presided the Federación de Sociedades Deportivas since 1911.
He also managed to resolve internal divisions from a faction led by Joaquim Peris, who he had defeated in the presidential election.
On a sporting level, Francesc de Moxó i de Sentmenat was less successful with FC Barcelona coming only third in the Campionat de Catalunya and failing to qualify for the Campeonato de España.
De Moxó resigned July 30th 1914 at the end of the season after exactly a year in office and was replaced by Alvaro Presta.
He was also president of the Reial Club de Tennis Barcelona from 1911 to 1920, founder and president of the Asociación de Esgrima Barcelonesa fencing club from 1913, the Yatch Club Barcelona from 1914 and then later the Aeroclub de Barcelona.
He was also a judge of automobile races such as the Volta de Catalunya and journalist and financial manager of the sportspaper Stadium.
In the Spanish general elections of 1919, he was elected deputy for Unión Monárquica Nacional representing Vilademuls in Girona before dying aged only 40 in 1920.


"Mary went out onto the road and looked about her, and as far as her eyes could see there was nothing but the black hills and the moors. The grey slate inn, with its tall chimneys, forbidding and uninhabited though it seemed, was the only dwelling-place on the landscape."
Yesterday, my parents and I took my grandma to visit Jamaica Inn- a traditional coaching inn on Bodmin Moor dating back to the 18th Century. Famous for its association with smugglers, it was also the setting for Daphne du Maurier's 1936 novel Jamaica Inn (recently adapted into a BBC series starring the rather yummy Matthew McNulty) and, fortunately or unfortunately, these days this once-isolated place is quite the tourist attraction.
"Now and again the sun was obscured by cloud, and long shadows fled over the moors like fingers. Colour came in patches; sometimes the hills were purple, ink-stained, and mottled, and then a feeble ray of sun would come from a wisp of cloud, and one hill would be golden-brown while his neighbour still languished in the dark."
For me, any remnants of the gloriously murky and wildly romantic world of du Mauriers' novel were somewhat diminished by the enormous gift shop and adjoining buffet area (I refuse to call it a restaurant) that now appear to be the main focus of the inn. Nevertheless, I must admit I still got a certain thrill from walking around that rather menacing "grey slate inn" and looking out over those very hills that du Maurier describes so beautifully in her novel.
"There was a haven of rest for her in Altarnun- the very name spelt like a whisper."
Deciding to move away from such a tourist hotspot, we ventured back down the road and stopped off in a quiet little village called Altarnun.
For Mary, Jamaica Inn's heroine, this rather sleepy and peaceful village offers a place of refuge away from the dreary reality of the inn.
"She turned left, down the steep hill of Altarnun. Excitement rose high within her now as she passed the twinkling cottage lights, and smelt the friendly smoke of chimneys. Here were neighbourly sounds that had long been lost to her...Here was a drowsy movement, a placidity and a peace; here were all the old village smells she knew and understood."
I have to say I agree with Mary- even today, taking a slow stroll down the hill and past the rows of little cottages is infinitely more enjoyable than enduring the chaos that is Jamaica Inn.
It was a really lovely way to spend our afternoon- just pottering about this old village and imagining all the people who had lived here in the past.
There's even a river valley walk you can do from the church here- definitely one to put on the list for when we get our dog!


Set in the near future, the world of THE ROVER is one where mankind's greed and excesses have pushed civilization to the breaking point.
With society in decline, the rule of law has disintegrated and life is cheap. Hardened loner Eric (Pearce) travels the desolate towns and roads of the Australian outback. When a brutal gang of thieves steals his car and only remaining possession, they leave behind the wounded Rey (Pattinson) in their wake. Forcing Rey to help track the gang, Eric gives chase.
Determined beyond reason, unrelenting in the pursuit of his prey, Eric will go to any lengths to take back the one thing that matters to him.
Animal Kingdom established director David Michôd as a master of brooding, slow-burning tension. With THE ROVER, he takes audiences on a white-knuckled odyssey across a scorched and dangerous world, in one of the most highly anticipated productions of 2013.


" Get It Started " is by Pitbull ( Armando Christian Pérez ), the award-winning American rapper. Pitbull was born on the 15th of January 1981 in Miami, Florida.
Pitbull's first recorded mainstream rap came when he had a solo track called " Pitbulls Cuban Rideout " featured on Kings of Crunk, a 2002 album by Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz. The album reached a peak of number fourteen on the Billboard 200 Chart in the United States.
The rappers debut album, M.I.A.M.I., was released in 2004. The title is a reverse acronym and means Money Is a Major Issue. It reached number fourteen on the Billboard 200 in the United States. He has been nominated and won many awards throughout his career so far, including MTV Video Music Awards, BMI Awards and People's Choice Awards. In 2016 he won the Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album award for Dale, his ninth studio album. It has been reported that Pitbull has sold in the region of 65 million records worldwide.
" Get It Started " was written by Armando C. Pérez, Durrell Babbs, Urales Vargas, Sidney Samson, Marc Kinchen, Bigram Zayas, Shakira and Kris Stephens. The song was produced by Sidney Samson, Marc Kinchen, Develop and DJ Buddha.
The song was released on the 25th of June 2012 by record labels Mr. 305 ( the independent label founded by Pitbull ), Polo Grounds and RCA ( both Sony Music Entertainment ) and taken as the second single from Pitbull's seventh studio album, Global Warming.
The album, released on the 16th of November 2012, featured " Back in Time " as the lead single, which also was included on the Men in Black 3 soundtrack. The song, released as a download on the 27th of March 2012 was then released as a physical single in Germany on the 25th of May 2012.
The track samples American R&B duo Mickey & Sylvia's " Love Is Strange ", a US number eleven song, released in 1958. Global Warming debuted in the United States on the Billboard 200 at number fourteen, selling 63,800 units. As of December 1, 2013, it has sold 355,000 copies in the country.
" Get It Started ", a dance-pop and Eurodance song, features the vocals of Shakira, the Colombian singer, songwriter, dancer and record producer. The award-winning artist has sold an estimated 125 million records, a figure that makes Shakira the best selling South American singer and one of the best selling Latin artists of all time.
The accompanying music video was directed by David Rosseau, the Venezuelan-born, Miami-based director. David has worked with many artists in addition to Pitbull, including Jerrod Niemann, Sophia del Carmen, Rico Love, Lil Twist, Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled and Enrique Iglesias.
The video was filmed in two different locations then cut together. Pitbull filmed his part in Madrid, Spain while Shakira's part of the video was shot in Barcelona.
" Get It Started " was not a huge commercial success for Pitbull. In the United States, the song reached eighty-nine on the Billboard Hot 100, spending two weeks on the chart there.
It also reached number seven on the Billboard Dance Club Songs, forty-eight on the Hot Latin Songs, thirty-four on the Mainstream Top 40, thirty-seven on the US Rhythmic and fifty-eight on the Tropical Airplay charts.
In the United Kingdom the song entered the UK Singles Chart on the 29th of September 2012 and reached a peak of number sixty-four, it spent one week on the UK chart.

Rovers reporter Gareth Westmorland sat down with the Kumuls legends, who discussed the Papuans World Cup campaign ahead of facing England in the quarter-finals.
Sitting down after ordering two Theakston's ale and a pint of Guinness, Hull KR's former Papua New Guinean trio Stanley Gene, Makali Aizue and John Okul begin to reminisce over an old clip on YouTube.
The video, on Gene's iPhone, shows highlights of the Kumuls' 1994 international defeat to New Zealand, which saw the latter scoring what's described as the country's 'Greatest Try', when ripping the Kiwis apart to go 55 metres unopposed.
Yet nobody could have predicted what grand stage the Papuans find themselves on right now. Thanks to modern technology, millions across the globe have witnessed the island, with an estimated population of eight million, light up the World Cup.
When dwindling attendances have soured spectacles in Australia and New Zealand, capital Port Moresby's Sir John Guise Stadium, PNG's prime venue proudly shown off as one of the host countries, has been packed to the rafters watching Michael Marum's team win all three of their Group clashes, posting 128 points in the process.
Ahead of tomorrow's mouthwatering World Cup quarter-final with Wayne Bennett's England, the close friends, who continue to reside in the city of Hull after moving to Rovers across the 90s and the noughties, spoke of how far PNG have come in the last two decades – and how the journey can continue for the 'Birds of Paradise'.
"It's outstanding. They are all young kids and are doing so well. A lot of PNG players are full-time now, 24/7 together, and that's helped them play the way they are," said Aizue.
Gene added: "John, Makali and I have spent a lot of years here but PNG has changed a lot in sports. The government is ready to pump a lot of money in now and sport is popping up everywhere.
"In our time, we didn't earn a penny except a training top and a T-shirt. The sports minister has done wonders since then. He's picked up all of the land in Port Moresby and is putting money back into it.
The transformation, it seems, has been a long time coming according to the ex-Rovers trio. Perhaps too long. Their immense love and pride for PNG doesn't come without its severe frustrations on a number of issues.
Seven years ago, Gene found himself in a bitter war of words with the government in his home country, as calls for him to stand down as coach following a winless Four Nations tournament of his homeland grew from the corridors, with a number of arguments more recently.
"Me and the sports minister have had a few issues – when I brought Garry Lo here, the minister went on TV and had a go at me," he explained. "I went back on TV and said you stick to politics and I'll stick to what I'm doing. But now, three years down the line, Garry is the best competitor for the Kumuls and is signing for Castleford Tigers.
"On another subject, playing wasn't about money, it was about pride. I came to England, and realised that you get paid for representing your country. I went back home and was gob-smacked. I kind of instigated that, I broke boundaries in PNG.
Thankfully Gene's calls for fairness on the international stage live on, but what's the next hurdle facing PNG?
There have been huge calls for the Hunters, winners of the 2017 Queensland Cup competition, to be included in the NRL, Australia's premier comp, in the next few years. Sadly, it's been labelled a 'pipedream'.
"I don't want to be negative to the country or the players that are playing now but the NRL is a dream. It's a stepping stone away but in reality, it's still got such a long way to go before that becomes true," said Gene.
But whilst a PNG side in the NRL remains just a vision for now, the national sport continues to shape the country on and off the field. Images and opinions are changing from the outside looking in and each of the ex-KR stars can't quite recognise their own country, such is the redevelopment.
"All of us are so happy to see that now the stadium is there – we just wish it was done years ago," said Gene, who leads the conversations. "We need a 20-30,000 seater! But we actually have a stadium now where people can sit down.
"Australia used to pack their bags as soon as the final whistle blew and run to the coach in fear of being eaten alive," Gene laughed. "Now, they wait and stick around for photos, because they know exactly what it's like. It's been painted in a bad light for such a long time but it's all changing. The little kids, they just want to touch the T-shirts of these superstars.

Crackdown widens after call for new protests in Egypt
CAIRO (Reuters) - At least 1,900 people have been detained since protests against President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi began in Cairo and other Egyptian cities last Friday, the head of a rights monitoring group said on Thursday.
FILE PHOTO: Small groups of protesters gather in central Cairo shouting anti-government slogans in Cairo, Egypt September 21, 2019.REUTERS/Mohamed Abd El Ghany/File Photo
The public prosecutor's office said in a statement issued late on Thursday that prosecutors "questioned a number that doesn't exceed one thousand suspects who participated in the demonstrations".
Gamal Eid, head of the Arab Network for Human Rights Information, said the arrests had been made between Friday and Wednesday and described them as part of the "most violent campaign in Egypt's (modern) history".
An interior ministry spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment.
Protesters chanting "Leave, Sisi" gathered in Cairo and other cities last Friday following online calls for demonstrations against alleged government corruption. The protests continued in the Red Sea city of Suez on Saturday.
The demonstrations took place in five governorates, the public prosecutor's office said. Some of the detainees confessed to belonging to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, the office said in the first detailed official account of the protests.
Some foreigners were also detained, including a Palestinian who "confessed to belonging to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement" and a Dutch man who was caught with a drone equipped with a high-definition camera, the statement said.
There have been calls for new protests this Friday, though government supporters are also planning mass rallies to show their support for Sisi.
Security forces have stepped up their presence in main squares in major cities and have been checking mobile phones for political content.
The protests have unnerved investors and led to a pro-Sisi campaign in Egypt's strictly controlled media.
On Thursday the front page of private pro-government newspaper Al Dostour carried pictures of 33 opposition figures, activists, journalists and writers under the headline: "Beware of them."
Among them was Mohamed Ali, a former contractor and actor who posted a series of videos ahead of the protests from his home in Spain, accusing Sisi and the military of corruption. Sisi has dismissed the allegations as "lies and slander".
Sisi, who came to power after leading the overthrow of Islamist former President Mohamed Mursi, has overseen a broad crackdown on dissent that has extended to liberal as well as Islamist groups, and which rights groups say is the most severe in recent memory.
Sisi's backers say the crackdown was needed to stabilise Egypt after the turmoil that followed the country's 2011 uprising.
Authorities frequently link security threats to the Brotherhood, most of whose leadership has been jailed or fled abroad.

More hype than hope?
Babar Ayaz	| January, 2019 December, 2018 | Pakistan 1
'Running Pakistan is not the same as managing Shaukat Khanum Hospital and Research Centre'
Imran Khan's first hundred days in office have been beset by economic failure and U-turns. Babar Ayaz reports on a government that appears stronger on promises than policies
It seems that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was never really prepared totake the reins of power in Pakistan. It believed that, although it mightemerge as a majority party, it would not win the required numbers to form a government.
This calculation was not wide of the mark. The PTI had to compromise on its principles andgarner the support of parties it formerly loathed, yet even with this compromise, it could only cobble together a razor-thin majority to get Imran Khan elected as prime minister. The ruling coalition includes the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan, an ethnic party from Karachi, and the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid.
The new government set a target of 100 days to roll out its programme. Public perception that it would use this period to highlight some of its planned achievements turned out to be a misperception. The party, it appears, simply wanted time to work out what to do, as it had no clue about the issues facing the country.
To be charitable to Imran, perhaps he is well-meaning. But, as I said a few years ago, he is politically naive and doesnot understand the complexities of statecraft. He fails to grasp that running Pakistan is not the same as managing Shaukat Khanum Hospital and Research Centre. This is evident from the speeches he made to the nation after being sworn in. He and his finance minister, Asad Umar, made tall claims that they would not borrow from the IMF, but within weeks they realised that the country would have to borrow, not only from the IMF but from whatever other sources are available to keep the wheels of the economy turning.
SHOW OF STRENGTH: Imran Khan at the 2011 Minar-e-Pakistan rally in Lahore
While Khan can lay the blame on the Nawaz Sharif and Zardari governments for bringing Pakistan to the economic brink, some responsibility must be shared by him and the forces that backed him to destabilise the Nawaz government from the very beginning.
After the PTI's first major show of strength at the 2011 Minar-e-Pakistan rally in Lahore, I commented in a Pakistani English daily op-ed piece that it was confusing that Imran Khan-led change would be from 'what to what'. After so many years, when he was finally 'selected' – to borrow Bilawal Bhutto's phrase – Imran Khan needed 100 days to figure out the way forward, rather than immediately implementing his proposed reforms.
The people's expectations over the '100 days' hype fell flat
Consequently, the people's expectations over the '100 days' hype fell flat, as it soon became clear that the party had misread Pakistan's serious economic challenges by focusing on a single obsession – corruption. Indeed, corruption is an issue, but suggesting itcouldbring back US$11 billion of Pakistani money stashed abroad is obviously justgovernment rhetoric. The process, involving the signing of Mutual Legal Assistance treaties (MLA) with 26 countries and ratifying them by Parliament, would take a long time. And even when the MLAs were signed, Pakistan would have to prove in the respective countries' courts that the ill-gotten funds had been laundered by Pakistani politicians and businessmen.
Also, the countries which host these assets would have to admit that they had provided a haven for illegitimate income. This would not only apply to Pakistanis because much larger amounts have been invested by the nationals of other countries. For instance, the UAE and UK have billions of dollars invested in real estate by nationals from all around the world. What is more, in many cases, these assets could actually be legal and may have been transferred through legitimate means.
Although one cannot dispute Imran's good intentions inhisplanned efforts to returnmoney to the country, how successful he will be in this endeavour during his tenureis doubtful, and onecannot pin much hope on this source of revenue to pull the country out of its present economic predicament.
The naivety of Imran Khan and, surprisingly, of his economic adviser, Asad Umar, is evident from the fact that, while it was written on the wall that the yawning current account gap could not be bridged without the IMF's help, they vehemently declared – before they were in power – that they would not go to the IMF because of the tough conditions attached.They had not even considered that the interim finance minister, Shamshad Akhtar, an astute economist whounderstood the country's needs, had prepared the ground for the next governmentwith the IMF. But oncethey took office and reality hit them, they made a major U-turn.
It was ironic that, after all his talk of taking steps to alleviate poverty, by the close of the day after Imran Khan's '100 days' speech, the dollar value shot up to Rs138 from around Rs133, after touching Rs 144 in the midday session – thus showing a Rs5 fall in a single day. The State Bank corrected the interbank rates, perhaps due to the strong market reaction and opposition to the Rs10 depreciation in a single session to bring it down to Rs 138.
Since the PTI took over, the rupee has been in freefall of around 12 per cent,as of December 5 this year,whereas the value stood at Rs 123.25 when the PTI was sworn in during mid-August. This will have a major impact on all imports of oil and other essential items. Already inflation has risen during the last few months, from less than 5.8 per cent in August to 6.8 percent in October – although this is the rise in the consumer price index, which is much lower than the sensitive price index that affects people on a daily basis.
Inflation has risen during the last few months, from less than 5.8 per cent in August to 6.8 per cent in October
Another inflationary step taken by the government is the increase in inter-bank borrowing rates, which have been raisedby 2 per cent in the short time the PTI government has been in office. This will directly affect Pakistan's GDP growth rate, which some analysts now estimate may fall to less than 4 per cent by the end of this fiscal year. This is in sharp contrast to earlier projections that GDP would grow to over 5.8 per cent. A country's GDP growth rate is usually considered the magic figure with which all economic indicators are linked, including the rise and fall of per capita income and revenue projections. Higher interest rates always slow down the economy and result in a contraction.
The PTI admitted in its progress report that it could only achieve 18 of the 34 deliverables it set for itself in the first 100 days – and even this success only concerns putting some systems in place, such as the Naya Pakistan Housing Authority, which is a duplication of the existing Pakistan Housing Authority.
Each successive government has tried to persuade the banks to give mortgage facilities to people and at times, the State Bank even made it mandatory to offer a certain percentage of loans to the housing sector. However, the banks have either shied away from that or the mortgage rate is so high that the common man cannot afford it.
Instead of experimenting with new economic models to increase housing in the country, the government should look at models already internationally acknowledged as successful, such as Khuda Ki Basti in Karachiand the vertical housing scheme adopted by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai in partnership with the private sector, to give decent houses to people living in slums on encroached lands.
The recent anti-encroachment drive all over the country may free some land of encroachers but it is also closing down small businesses. The drive should have been started after offering alternative business venues and giving adequate notice.
As for all the other proposals the prime minister talked about with such excitement, they were not new either. Many previous governments have put forward similar poverty alleviation schemes by subsidising the livestock and poultry sector.
On the issue of U-turns by the PTI – the frequency of which show that its leaders are just demagogues without any far sight or vision – I think the media hype has been made possible largely because so many channels these days have footage of what the leaders have said while in opposition, which contrasts sharply with what they are doing now. The only benefit of this campaign is that it may make politicians in opposition more responsible in their criticisms of the government.
Now the PTI leaders are defending their position by saying that Allama Iqbal and Mr Jinnah also made U-turns. But those too were due to lack of vision and an inability to fathom that countries set up by exploiting religion will ultimately be consumed by extremist religious forces.

1st Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, Patriarch of Antioch and Apostle of Jesus Christ
(Redirected from St. Peter)
Saint Peter (Greek: Πετρος, "rock")[5] also called Simon (Kephas) Peter is one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. He is often talked about in the New Testament. Most of what we know about Peter comes from the Bible. In the Gospel it is written that Jesus Christ would make Peter the "rock" (foundation) of the Church (Gospel of Matthew 16:18, you are Peter (rock), and upon this rock I will build my church).

It is not known when Peter was born. But the date of his death is said to be about the year 64 AD. He died by being nailed to a cross in Rome. This type of death is called crucifixion. According to the apocryphal Acts of Peter, Peter asked to be crucified upside down, as he felt unworthy to die as Jesus did. Most historical sources only say he was crucified this way.
The historical accuracy of the accounts of Peter's role in Rome is a matter of ongoing debate.[6][7][8]
In art, he is often shown holding the keys to the kingdom of heaven (interpreted by Roman Catholics as the sign of his primacy over the Church), a reference to Matthew 16:19.
Peter was married according to the gospel of Mark. The name of his wife is unknown.
1 Saint and Pope
Saint and PopeEdit
The Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Lutheran Churches, as well as the Anglican Communion, consider Simon Peter a saint. Roman Catholics believe that the Pope is Peter's successor. For this reason, he is the rightful head of all other bishops. Eastern and Oriental Orthodox also recognise the Bishop of Rome as the successor to Saint Peter and the Ecumenical Patriarch sends a delegation each year to Rome to participate in the celebration of his feast.
In the Ravenna document of 13 October 2007 representatives of the Eastern Orthodox Church agreed that "Rome, as the Church that 'presides in love' according to the phrase of St Ignatius of Antioch (To the Romans, Prologue), occupied the first place in the taxis (order), and that the bishop of Rome was therefore the protos (first) among the patriarchs.[9] They disagree, however, on the interpretation of historical evidence from this era regarding the rights of the bishop of Rome as protos, a matter that was already understood in different ways in the first millennium."
Christian tradition says Saint Peter was the first leader of an early apostolic community for at least 34 years. At that time the word Pope or "Papa" was not used to name the leader of the Roman Catholic Church. At that time there was only one Christian Church. Later, the Roman Catholic Church would say that Peter was their first Pope.[10]
Tradition also locates his burial place where St. Peter's Basilica was later built, in Vatican City.

Matthias Bruggmann, winner of the second edition of the Prix Elysée
The Musée de l'Elysée and Parmigiani Fleurier would like to congratulate the Swiss photographer born in Aix-en-Provence (France) in 1978, winner of the second edition of the Prix Elysée, for his project entitled A haunted world where it never shows. Building on the framework of his prior work on contemporary conflicts, Matthias Bruggmann proposed, for the Prix Elysée, to continue a long-term photographic project launched in 2012 documenting the conflict in Syria. He receives the sum of CHF 80,000, to be divided between the completion of the proposed project and the publication of the accompanying book in 2018.
A haunted world where it never shows.
"Formally, my previous work put viewers in a position where they were asked to decide the nature of the work itself. A scientifically questionable analogy of this mechanism would be the observer effect in quantum physics, where the act of observing changes the nature of what is being observed. My Syrian work builds on this framework.
From a documentation perspective, it is, thus far and to the best of my knowledge, unique as the work, inside Syria, of a single Western photographer, in large part thanks to the assistance and hard work of some of the best independent experts on the conflict. Because of the nature of this conflict, I believe it is necessary to expand the geographical scope of the work."

New Norton bears the name Atlas
26th December 2018 Darren Hendley News
ANOTHER RESURGENT BRITISH manufacturer has revived an old name for its latest machine with Norton unveiling its first middleweight twin-cylinder motorcycle since the 650cc Mercury went out of production in 1969.
The new 650cc Atlas Nomad and Atlas Ranger twins are designed as entry-level machines and will be the first mainstream production machines from Norton since the 1970s. The Atlas name was last used on Norton's 1960s 750cc Featherbed framed superbike.
The new Norton uses an engine with elements derived from the company's own high performance V4 RR superbike in a steel trellis frame. Norton says the use of steel, rather than aluminium is ideal for a dual purpose off-roader like the Atlas.
The in-house produced 84bhp 650cc engine has a 270° crankshaft and uses the V4's cylinder head, while the rest of the engine is completely new. The Norton Roadholder suspension has fully adjustable 50mm forks, while the monoshock rear will be preload adjustable only. Both bikes have spoked wheels and a 15-litre rotationally moulded composite fuel tank.
The new Atlas Nomad will cost £9995 with the more off-road focused Atlas Ranger edition £11,995. Norton intends to make 2000 Atlas models a year and anticipates the off-road styled Ranger will be the biggest seller. Orders for the new Atlas are now being taken.

Cedric Eder: A Short Story
Cedric Eder had been living in Glace Bay, Port area at the southern part of The New Morram City for as long as he could remember in his 18th-year-old life. He was the only son of Alan Eder, a tough fisherman whose life bound with the tide of the sea life. Numerous times caught by a thunderous storm when he was sailing on the sea and dangling between life and death, his father kept his vivid dream that one day his son would follow his way of struggling life against the sea. Cedric's childhood was a series of stories of plunging out into the sea, repeatedly drowning before being pulled out of the sea using fishnet by other fishermen, wandering around the stinky fish market, and being cornered at dark and empty alley by a bunch of burly fishermen kids. No boys wanted to befriend him, and he soon found out that his father's worried about the way his body developed. His posture's lean and slender. His skin was damp, wet like a moist baby skin. it's also chalky pale as if it was malnourished and bloodless, no matter how much he had exposed his skin to the sun. His cheek blushed with pink when he smiled, to sum up, he looked like a male version of Princess Doll. No wonder if he hardly found his place among his neighbor boys who were born with coarse features, broad shoulder, and sunburned skin. When he was at the junior high, boys and…show more content…
The fish market was the largest fish retailer and distributor in the Glace Bay area where his father rented a small stall and sold fishes. Cedric worked from the afternoon until almost midnight at the stall, bringing all his book and homework from school with him. Here's between the stench of fish and the community of ribald people, away from the glitzy life of the downtown of the New Morram city, from the marvelous boys and girls, he miraculously saw a new
Appearance In Gary Soto's Short Story The Talk
In Gary Soto's short story "The Talk" he reveals how society values appearance way too much. The main characters discuss about how their appearance affects their self-esteem, mindset, and their future jobs. The characters start out discussing their appearance and call themselves ugly, "We were twelve, with lean bodies that were beginning to grow in weird ways. First, our heads got large, but our necks wavered, frail as crisp tulips" (par.2). The boys talk about their appearance as if they were really awkward when in reality they probably don't look like the way their describing themselves.
Through The Tunnel Theme Essay
In the beginning of the story the protagonist stated, "I never went anywhere that summer without a fishing rod." (Page 1). The author uses the fishing rod as a symbol to represent who this fourteen year old boy is and what he does. The author only mentions this fourteen year old boy and his crush on Sheila, not his parents. Later in the story, when this boy finally asks his neighbor Sheila out on a date, on Page 2 it stated, "I got in the canoe early and started paddling in a huge circle."
Literary Devices Used In Lord Of The Flies Essay
A theme that arises around Piggy is the realists in the world are unheard when other people are overwhelmed by an inner evil. In the beginning, Piggy tries to make his name known but Ralph does not care and he calls him the one name he does not want to be called, which is Piggy. Piggy is seen as weak by the other boys because he is fat and has asthma. An example of Piggy being an unheard realist is when he is trying to get the attention of the boys and it is very hard when he finally gets their attention he tells them they need to build shelters and get rescued and points out that no one paid any attention to the 'littluns'. Throughout the book, Piggy is a reminder of being rescued.

Ryan Sconyers: A Short Story
A friend saved 17 year old Ryan Sconyers after falling off a boat ladder, where he received a head injury and lost four fingers. While fishing out on the Mississippi River near Prairie du Chien on Saturday, Sconyers climbed out of his boat into a barge. Eventually making his way back to the boat, he began climbing but soon fell from the boat's ladder. He fell into the water, receiving tremendous injuries on the way down.
Santiago Manolin Quotes
Manolin has been Santiago's apprentice and friend since he was five years old. Santiago acts as a second father figure for Manolin, taking him on fishing trips and discussing baseball statistics. Even when Manolin's real father forces him to find another boat to fish with because of Santiago's misfortune, Manolin is one of Santiago's only supporters. Since he can't help him fish anymore, the young boy shows his love and devotion to the old man by helping him with everyday activities that are difficult for Santiago because of his age, such as carrying gear from the boat and fetching coffee and bait. This is shown on page 19: "'Keep the blanket around you,' the boy said.
Salvador Alvarenga Research Paper
Thirty-seven year old Salvador Alvarenga, a fisherman living and working in Mexico, loved his 25-foot long canoe shaped boat. On November 18, 2012, he planned to be with it in the deep, tranquilizing waters of the Pacific Ocean. He had nothing holding him back, his daughter lived in El Salvador with her mother. Ezequiel Córdoba, Alvarenga's 22-year old crewman, and Alvarenga loaded the boat with thousands of pounds of equipment that would soon be filled with a variety of seafood. He had known there was a storm coming, but he refused to pass up possible catch no matter the danger.
Comparing The Fisherman And The Jinnee

The jinnee informed the fisherman that he had been trapped at the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years.

Hey everyone! I've now done two exams and I only have one left next week, I'm starting to taste freedom (and regular posts!). I created a load of really simple nail art designs one night a few weeks ago and I'd completely forgotten about the pictures until I was looking through my files last night, so here's one of them. It's not much, but I always think that polka dots are a really effective design. They're also always noticed by people, which is sods law because designs that take hours don't tend to get noticed!
Indeed polka dots are so eye-catchy :) I like your combo. Good luck on your exam!

Brenneco Plumbing | Use Your Senses. Are You Living with Low-Quality Water?
Feel like your water isn't exactly the quality it should be? Lucky for you, there are plenty of ways to use your own senses to determine a problem with your H₂O.
Your peepers are one of your main tools for spotting signs of poor water quality. Go ahead, investigate your water and plumbing hardware for these indicators.
Water should always be clear. That seems obvious, but you'd be surprised by the amount of people that live with discolored H₂O. Sure, water contains inorganic substances, or minerals, but mineral content should not be high enough to be visible. Cloudiness or visible particles could indicate the presence of potentially dangerous mineral content and does not make for the best drinking water.
Also, watch for water that comes out of the tap with an orange or brownish color. This could be a sign that the water contains high levels of iron or manganese. Mining and excavation near water supplies can cause this along with rusty pipes.
As mentioned before, minerals such as calcium can build up in your water supply. This often leaves behind visible chalky residue. If your dishes are coming out of the wash with spots, fogginess and stains, it could be sign that your water supply is ready for treatment.
Don't forget to check your faucets, shower heads, toilet bowls and drains, as well. Those minerals leeched from water can cause visible limescale build-up in your pipes,around your faucets and next to drains. Red and brown stains or rings around drains could indicate an excess in iron and manganese in the water.
Have you found that your water is smelling a little…different? Use your nose to investigate these odors.
Public water facilities are charged with the duty of providing clean, usable water for you and your family and often use chlorine to help treat the water supply. While normally the amount of chlorine is undetectable to your nose, if the amount used exceeds the norm, your water can start to smell.
A chlorine smell may become noticeable in your home, especially where large amounts of water collect, like your shower. While a small amount of chlorine is okay for you, high amounts can lead to some health issues like intestinal distress.
What about that stinky, rotten egg smell? If you're experiencing this odor from your water sources, it probably means you're dealing with an excess of sulfur. Sulfur occurs naturally in the ground and small amounts in your water are normal. However, high levels of sulfur can smell strong enough to make using your water an unpleasant experience.
For the most part, water should be flavorless. If something tastes wrong, it usually is. A metallic, bitter or chemical taste are often a result of poor-quality water. Minerals that were previously discussed like calcium, manganese and iron can cause your water to have an unpleasant taste. Dangerous substances like pesticides, herbicides and chemicals can also affect the taste of water. If you notice an unusual taste, call a professional about getting your water treated.
That's right. You can utilize your sense of touch to help identify if your water is bad.
Has your skin been feeling dry lately? How about your hair? Those excess amounts of foreign chemicals and minerals in your water could be the cause. High levels of calcium and magnesium attach to the hair, making it heavier or straw-like and can dry out your skin. Other minerals can even alter hair color and can cause hair treatments to be ineffective.
Be aware of the water pressure in your home. Limescale buildup can accumulate in pipes and actually impede the movement of water through your plumbing. If your shower never seems to have enough pressure or your faucet has less water force than before, it may be a result of poor water quality.
While you can't listen to your plumbing literally tell you that it's time to do something about your pipes and water, you can listen to a professional. Pay attention to their recommendations on bettering your water issues. Water softeners, filters and water treatment services are often simple fixes that will make your water enjoyable and safe to drink.
Stop living with bad water. Call a professional today to get started on finding your water solution.
5 Reasons You Should Install a Water Filter Why Is Clean Water Important?


A 6-year-old boy named Roy used to drive hours with his family to the fish market in Japan to buy live tako (octopus). He would help rub salt into its flesh then barbecue teriyaki steaks and chicken for dinner using a small hibachi.
A 10-year-old named Alan would experiment with S&S Frozen Saimin, eating it with and without different ingredients such as black pepper, green onions, sesame oil and kamaboko.
Who knew these boys would grow up to be James Beard Award-winning chefs?
Yes, these are true childhood memories shared by Roy Yamaguchi and Alan Wong, renowned restaurateurs and co-founders of Hawaii Food & Wine Festival.
Their own fond recollections of food inspired the Kellogg's and Foodland Healthy Lunchtime Challenge for the fourth annual festival. The "HMAA Keiki in the Kitchen: Food, Fitness & Fun" contest is calling on young chefs statewide to submit their best recipes. The deadline is Aug. 10.
The hope is to get creative juices flowing with healthy dishes made by children ages 8-17. Recipes must feature at least one fresh, locally grown ingredient, and be nutritious, affordable and have a meaningful story behind it.
The top three contestants will present their dishes for tasting and scoring by celebrity chef judges Nobu Matsuhisa, Iron Chef Hiroyuki Sakai, and Jason Fox Sept. 6 at Honolulu Zoo.
First-place winners will get a "Keiki Night Out" party for 10 by Chef Roy Yamaguchi or Alan Wong and a two-night stay in an oceanfront room at Outrigger Reef on the Beach in Waikiki.
Take it from two forces behind Hawaii Regional Cuisine. Who knows what Hawaii's next generation of top chefs could create using their imaginations and home-grown ingredients?

Jobs of The Future Published
Well researched, insightful and useful in numerous ways we highly recommend the just published "Jobs of The Future", report created by Deakin University, Griffith University and Ford.
This 82 page report does a great job of providing an overview of other literature on the subject as well as tabling its perspective on key future work skills, accompanied by a list of 100 imagined future jobs.
We were delighted to see these future work skills identified as very important since we are already teaching these skills in our Complexity Navigation Program...:-)
Information Synthesis
Novel Thinking / Originality
Fluency of Ideas
Critical (Judgement) Thinking
Communicating Across Disciplines
Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration
Entrepreneurial Thinking
We enjoyed reading this report and identified these key quotes:
"Most of the jobs of the future do not yet exist. That makes it difficult to say exactly what people will need to do to get those jobs. However, the patterns are becoming clear — some skills will continue to be highly rewarded, while others are likely to be taken over by machines."
"...everyone agreed that we are living through significant and world changing times and that if people are to remain employable, they will need to acquire and develop new skills."
"The skills that will matter most in the workplace of the future are, by a wide margin, problem solving, judgment and critical thinking"
"Problem solving skills in demand will include: "Originality and Fluency of Ideas. Learning Strategies and Active Learning — the ability of students to set goals, ask relevant questions, get feedback as they learn and apply that knowledge meaningfully in a variety of contexts" (Bakhshi et al., 2017, p.66)".
"More complex skills that require novel thinking and adaptability given the needs of the context "will be at a premium in the next decade, particularly as automation and offshoring continue" (Davies et al., 2011, p.9)."
"This shift in jobs of the future towards the kinds of skills that humans can do and that machines cannot is presented as a trend towards making employment Team work has always been a feature of employment. However, a number of trends are making the need for collaboration and networking centrally important skills in the new economy."
"As people become more entrepreneurial and potentially work for more than one employer at a time, they will also need to have strong networks of people who know their skill set and who will recommend them for new work not only more enjoyable, but also fundamentally more human (see, AlphaBeta, 2017)."
"In the future, human skills such as creativity, imagination, emotional intelligence and empathy (Commonwealth Bank, 2017, p.16) will become increasingly important to augment our interactions with computer systems."
"The OECD (2017) points out that "the labour market is increasingly rewarding soft skills such as the ability to communicate, work in teams, lead, solve problems and self-organise" (p.19)."
"Creativity is also particularly difficult to program a computer to achieve. This is because creativity, by definition, produces something that is new, novel and therefore something that cannot be fully predetermined in code beforehand. In that sense, a truly creative outcome is one that can only be recognized at the end of the process when looking back — computers are rules based and creativity could be virtually defined as the very opposite of that.."
"However, creativity is not just about producing something that is novel or unexpected. A creative solution to a problem also needs to be 'right' in the sense that it needs to provide a positive solution to the problem at hand. Creativity skills are growing in demand.
"A 2016 World Economic Forum report estimates that five years from now, more than a third of skills considered important today will no longer be relevant. Creativity and emotional intelligence will be among the top three needed" (Riad, 2017, p.18)."
"Allied with this, commentators predict a "low susceptibility of engineering and science occupations to computerization' since they require a 'high degree of creative intelligence" (Frey & Osborne, 2013, p.44)."
"In fact, "the categories of interpersonal, creative and information synthesis are projected to increase from just under half of all work activity to almost 70 per cent over the thirty years from 2000 to 2030" (Charmers & Quigley, 2017, p.65)."
"This fusion of skills and perspectives from different domains will create new multi-disciplinary fields that advance what is possible, trigger new drivers of change and redefine the jobs of the future."
"One theme that comes up strongly is the move towards cross-disciplinarity."
"The rapidly changing nature of work will mean people will be unlikely to remain 'one thing' throughout their whole career, with some estimating that "a 15-year- old today will experience a portfolio career, potentially having 17 different jobs over five careers in their lifetime""
"In such a fast-changing world, even those leaving school today may not have the skills they needed for jobs they will be applying for."

Q: sort data.frame by column alphabetically in dplyr without converting to factor I'm working with data using dplyr package and need to sort a data.frame by one of the columns alphabetically. Problem is that this column is character and dplyr arranges my data.frame in wrong manner.
Here's the example.
require("dplyr")
set.seed(7)
df1 <- data.frame(name = sample(c("A", "a", "b", "B"), 20, T),
                  value = rnorm(20), stringsAsFactors = F)
str(df1)
# 'data.frame':  20 obs. of  2 variables:
#      $ name : chr  "B" "a" "A" "A" ...
#      $ value: num  0.357 2.717 2.281 0.324 1.896 ...
df1 %>% group_by(name) %>% summarise(val = sum(value))
# Source: local data frame [4 x 2]
#
#   name       val
# 1    A 5.4297509
# 2    B 0.8402506
# 3    a 3.8079681
# 4    b 0.7522799

Here in column name first go CAPITALS and then small letters. arrange doesn't change anything. If we make name variable a factor then it becomes arranged in right order. That's it
set.seed(7)
df2 <- data.frame(name = sample(c("A", "a", "b", "B"), 20, T),
                  value = rnorm(20), stringsAsFactors = T)
df2 %>% group_by(name) %>% summarise(val = sum(value))
# Source: local data frame [4 x 2]
#
#   name       val
# 1    a 3.8079681
# 2    A 5.4297509
# 3    b 0.7522799
# 4    B 0.8402506

In my data processing I'd like to keep name of character type, and breaking %>%-pipes of dplyr code with another code isn't nice too, so, is it possible with dplyr to sort the first df1 as df2 ?

Muslim leaders discuss al-Quds at OIC emergency summit in Turkey
The Levant Dec 13, 2017	Israel, Middle East, News, Palestine, United States, World Leave a comment 619 Views
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) convenes an urgent summit in Istanbul on Washington's contentious declaration on Jerusalem al-Quds, with the Turkish foreign minister urging Muslim nations to respond by pressing the world for the recognition of the city as the capital of a Palestinian state.
Representatives from 57 OIC members are attending the summit, which is meant to coordinate a response to a US decision to recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel's "capital."
"Firstly the Palestinian state must be recognized by all other countries. We must all strive together for this," the top Turkish diplomat, Mevlut Cavusoglu , said. "We must encourage other countries to recognize the Palestinian state on the basis of its 1967 borders with East Jerusalem [al-Quds] as its capital."
Erdogan: al-Quds 'red line for Muslims'
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the OIC, was the first head of state to address the event.
He told OIC leaders that Israel's expansionism is "skyrocketing," describing the entity as "a state of occupation." "Besides this, Israel is a state of terror."

The Turkish leader further urged the international community to recognize East Jerusalem as the "capital of Palestine."
Erdogan described Washington's decision as a reward for Israeli "terror acts" and said the city was a red line for Muslims.
'Al-Quds will forever be Palestine's capital'
Meanwhile, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas decried the Trump administration's decision as the "greatest crime" and a flagrant violation of international law. He said Washington was giving away Jerusalem al-Quds a "gift" to the "Zionist movement" as if it were an American city, adding, "It crosses all the red lines."
"Jerusalem [al-Quds] is and will forever be the capital of the Palestinian state… There will be no peace, no stability without that," he said.
Abbas rejected any future role for the United States in the so-called Middle East peace process, noting that Washington is biased in favor of Israel.
He called on the UN to assume the mediating role in the Mideast peace process and revive it with a new mechanism as the US is no longer "fit" for the task.
The Palestinian president pointed to the unanimous international opposition to Trump's decision, calling it a "provocation" to Muslim and Christian sentiments.
Prior to his speech to OIC leaders, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani took to twitter to condemn the US for disrespecting Palestinian rights.
"The recent decision by the US admin made it clear that the US is only seeking to secure the maximum interests of the Zionists and has no respect for the legitimate rights of Palestinians. The US has never been an honest mediator and will never be," Rouhani tweeted.
Jordanian King Abdullah II rejected any attempt to change the status quo of East Jerusalem al-Quds and its holy sites.
He stressed that the Middle East cannot witness peace until the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is resolved. "All violence… is a result of a failure to find a peaceful solution to the Palestinian issue."
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Lebanese President Michel Aoun are also among the participants.
Earlier this month, US President Donald Trump announced that the US was recognizing Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel's "capital" and tasked the State Department with making preparations for the relocation of Washington's embassy from Tel Aviv to the occupied Palestinian city.
The dramatic shift in Washington's Jerusalem al-Quds policy drew fierce criticism from the international community, including the United States' Western allies, and triggered demonstrations against the US and Israel worldwide.
On Tuesday, the EU's foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, reaffirmed the position of the European Union, saying East Jerusalem, which hosts the al-Aqa Mosque compound, shall become the capital of a Palestinian state and the western part of the city shall go to Israel as part of a so-called two state solution.

"We have made it clear that we will continue to respect the international consensus on Jerusalem [al-Quds], as Europeans, including the relocation of our embassies until the final status of Jerusalem [al-Quds] is resolved through direct negotiations between the parties," she added.
On Saturday, Arab League foreign ministers held an emergency meeting in Cairo. The meeting urged Washington to rescind its decision and called on the international community to recognize the Palestinian state.
On the eve of the OIC summit, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu lashed out at some Arab countries over their "very weak" reaction to US recognition of Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel's capital.
Cavusoglu stressed that the OIC meeting must stand up to what he described as Washington's "I am a superpower, I can do anything" mentality.
Sources in the Turkish presidency said Saturday that Erdogan and French President Emmanuel Macron had spoken on the phone over the case. They said the two leaders agreed to work together to persuade the US to reconsider its decision.
Also at a joint press conference after talks in Ankara on Monday, Erdogan said he and Russian President Vladimir Putin believe that Israel continues to "add fuel to the flames."
Jerusalem al-Quds is under Israel's control. The international community views the regime's grip on the eastern part of the city, which came after the Six-Day War of 1967, as illegal, and urges talks to decide the fate of the entire city in any future peace deal.

Q: angular4 testing observables I have a register component with a register function that I'm trying to test
  register() {
    this.hasSubmitted = true;
    this._auth.register(this.user).subscribe(result => {
      this.openSnackBar("Registration Successful, Redirecting......", "OK", 2000);
      setTimeout(() => {
        this._router.navigate(['/']);
      },1000)
      this.hasSubmitted = false;
    }, (error) => {
      this.openSnackBar(error, "OK", null)
      this.hasSubmitted = false;
    });
  }

I've created a stub class and injected it into the testbed as shown below
 beforeEach((() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [RegisterComponent],
      imports: [
        ReactiveFormsModule, BrowserAnimationsModule, FormsModule, MatInputModule, MatCheckboxModule, MatIconModule, MatProgressBarModule, MatDialogModule, MatSnackBarModule
      ],
      providers: [
        { provide: AuthService, useClass: AuthStub },
        { provide: Router, useClass: RouterStub },
      ]
    })
      .compileComponents();

      fixture = TestBed.createComponent(RegisterComponent);
      component = fixture.componentInstance;
  }));

However, when I try and test the register method, I get an error thrown saying that cannot read property subscribe of undefined, which is referring to the subscribe call in my register method. I cannot seem to have an observable returned from the mock stub. What am I doing wrong?
 it('should call register in the auth class once registration is submitted', () => {
    let auth = TestBed.get(AuthService)
    let spy = spyOn(auth, "register");
    component.register();
    expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled();
  });

export class AuthStub {

  register(): Observable<any> {
    return Observable.empty()
  }
}

A: It is because when you spy a function, it is not actually called therefore this._auth.register is returning nothing. You should let jasmine call the original function which is register from AuthStub
Change line
let spy = spyOn(auth, "register");
to
let spy = spyOn(auth, "register").and.callThrough();

Still plenty of time for wine tasting on the half day tour. A bit more time for a sleep in!
Just to get you started we will stop at one Vineyard before lunch (own cost). After lunch we will be able to visit 3-4 vineyards before returning to Antria around 5pm.
As with the Full Day tour the half day is always a single party booking so the time is yours to enjoy. We will ensure that despite the shorter time frame you will have enough time to experience some of the best wine Marlborough has to offer.
Although known for Sauvignon Blanc, there are some excellent Pinot Noirs, Pinot Gris and other aromatic wines to enjoy and savour.
Our tour tends to concentrate on the Boutique Vineyards so you can get a feel for the passion that goes into making great wine.


The classic multi-day trek follows in the footsteps of South America's ancient Incan Empire, taking hikers through the Andes from its stronghold in Cusco, Peru, to the forgotten city of Machu Picchu. The longer route passes through the 'Sacred Valley' and the ruins of Ollantaytambo, with heights peaking over 4,200m (this means that altitude sickness can be an issue). Here are some travel tips and the kit you'll need to tackle the wet and humid cloud forest, daytime heat and cooler mountain camps of the Inca Trail.
How Can I Trek the Inca Trail?
You must secure a permit through a pre-booked guided tour operator. This measure was introduced by the government in 2002 to help preserve the Trail (your passport will be checked at the start of the route). The dry season runs from April-October, but June-July are the most popular trekking months. The Trail is completely closed to hikers in February for cleaning. Permits are limited, so book your trip well in advance!
What Equipment do Tour Operators Provide?
Tour operators generally provide a tent and foam sleeping mat, cater for your meals and give you the option of hiring equipment like sleeping bags.
Every tour operator is different, so it's essential to check what you need to bring and what's provided before you book.
These are worth having for longer walks. Base layers move sweat away from the skin to keep you comfortable on the move.
Handy at high altitude and for the cool evenings.
Pack sunglasses, a sun hat to shield your neck on the walk and a woolly hat to stay toasty in-camp.
A breathable and durable waterproof is a must-have, especially in the humid, shower-prone cloud forests. Pick one with an adjustable hood and plenty of storage pockets. Light and quick-drying trousers are recommended.
Lightweight or mid-weight boots with soft-medium flexibility in the soles are a great choice for supporting and protecting your feet and ankles on the trail's many steps and cobblestones and boggier cloud forest terrain. Make sure that you wear your boots in before your hike! You can also read our blog on how to find the perfect walking boots.
Technical socks move sweat away from the skin and minimises rubbing and abrasion to reduce the risk of blisters (find out more benefits of technical walking socks on our blog). Take a pair for every day of your trek.
Your trekking pack is left at the base camp or hostel while the porters carry your gear for the duration of the route.
Check what the weight limit is per person so that you can plan what clothing and equipment to leave and hand over to the porters.
The day pack is for carrying essentials like your water, food, extra layers and camera.
Poles aren't essential, but they help on steep inclines and declines and reduce the risk of twisting an ankle. Long-term, they minimise the impact on knee cartilage. On a multi-day trek with lots of ascents and descents on often-tough terrain, poles can make a huge difference.
You'll need this for in-camp. Pack some spare batteries!
A water bladder and a 1L water bottle should be part stashed in your day pack. Trekking the Inca Trail is a demanding challenge with long days and intense heat, so staying sufficiently watered is vital!
Chlorine dioxide tablets are also essential – bottled water can be expensive on the Inca Trail.
Most packs are water resistant, not waterproof. Dry bags help protect valuables like your passport, camera and mobile phone from the damp.
Your tour operator may provide you with a sleeping bag or give you the option of hiring one, but nothing beats the comfort of having your own! If you feel the cold easily, choose a bag with a slightly warmer limit or comfort rating. Synthetic bags are great value but heavier than down bags.
If you're hiring your sleeping bag for the trek, it's good to have a fresh, clean liner to sleep in. They also add a little warmth – some are even treated with insect repellent for extra bug protection.
Pack a lightweight, quick-drying, antibacterial travel towel with soap, hand sanitizer and baby wipes.
Add some Dioralyte rehydration sachets and extra blister plasters to your kit. Insect repellent with a DEET factor of 100 or more will help you fend off the bugs.
You need your passport to trek the Inca Trail and pass through its various checkpoints (you'll also get some nice passport stamps as you walk through). Pack extra snacks to keep your energy levels high, an extra memory card for your camera, and cash to tip the porters (they leave on the morning that you walk up Machu Picchu, so there is a thank you evening the night before).
Whether you're hiking local trails or trekking the Himalayas this spring/summer, our new season walking boots offer all of the comfort and support you need for your next adventure. Here are our favourite 2016 arrivals from world-leading brands Scarpa, Salomon, Mammut and The North Face.
A quality pair of technical socks are the foundation of any keen walker's itinerary. Whether you're prepping for long-distance backpacking, a short afternoon hike or a run on the trails, the correct socks will keep you comfortable by reducing shock, adding support, removing sweat and heat and minimising blisters. Cotton socks, however, soak up moisture and can soon cause discomfort and irritation, especially on longer routes. Here's why you need to invest in some functional footwear.
Whether you're hiking, trekking or climbing in summer or winter, every layering system includes a base layer, mid layer and waterproof. These work together to help regulate your body temperature across a variety of weather conditions and physical activity levels.
Each layer transports sweat to the outside of your system while the waterproof shell protects you from the elements. For enjoyment and comfort on any spring and summer adventure, an effective layering system is essential.

View Full Version : What would you rather have removed: the shot clock or Goaltending?
If you had to choose to remove one of the two, which one would you remove?
WTF is up with these ****** threads?
Umm...neither. There's no reason to remove either.
But goal tending if I had to pick. Getting rid of the shot clock would be horrendous.
Somewhere, Javale Mcgee is trying to get this guy as comissioner.
This thread has potential, I want to see a team place a player in their rim to defend.
Both. Just let big men sit under the rim and block shots throughout a 12 minute possession.
None LOL. both are perfectly fine and are great for the game.
The IQ of the PSD members come close to LeBron's shooting percentage in the 4th QTR of last year's Finals.


Did you know the parks and recreation, and golf course deficits, were a debt taxpayers owe the Town of Apple Valley?
The General Fund has advanced $6,475,142 and $3,492,776 to the Parks and Recreation Fund and Apple Valley Golf Course Fund, respectively. The advances were made to fund operating deficits in those funds over a period of many years. The Town is currently developing a plan to repay these advances to the General Fund.
In addition, management is considering proposing a sales tax measure in the near future. The annual revenues generated from this proposed sales tax measure are estimated to be sufficient for the Parks and Recreation and Apple Valley Golf Course Funds to repay the advance from the General Fund over a period of several years.
At the 11/15/2016 Town Council meeting, the Town Manager reported to Council that 87.9% of the tax measures across the state had succeeded and were mostly increases in sales tax related measures.
Claims you will not be taxed for the water take over, in addition to the debt to acquire the water company, were false, you will pay plus be taxed on the golf course water rights acquired. Then there are all the FREE stuff offered through Parks and Recreation, really isn't free at all, and everyone will pay, whether you derived any benefit of the freebies or not.
Don't be fooled when council attempts to blame this on staff management. Remember, the re-elected incumbents (who opposed tax increases), told us, in defending the Assistant Town Manager, he just does what they tell him to do. Tax increase, something to look forward to in the next election.
