Heigh ho, Ann! Thanks for stopping by to see us again at the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
You're going to love Seven Dwarfs Mine Train! I've been on it several times, and I think I love it more every time I climb aboard that mine car. And I'm not the only one who's fallen for this fun ride. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train has been open less than a year, and it's already one of the hottest attractions in any of the parks. Stand-by wait times can easily exceed an hour shortly after park opening, so many people choose to use a FastPass+ selection to ride it. Because of that, you'll usually find that FastPass+ availability will run out, even if you're trying to choose it as one of your three advance selections. My advice: if you can get a FastPass+ time for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, grab it while you can!
Peter Pan's Flight is another Guest favorite - and another personal favorite of mine, as well. This one also gets very busy as the day goes on, so I would definitely consider choosing it as one of your FastPass+ selections if it's a priority for you. Alternatively, if you don't want to use a FastPass+ for Peter Pan's Flight, you can head straight there at park opening. Stand-by wait times first thing in the morning are often 20 minutes or less, but will quickly build to more than an hour.
I hope this helps in your planning, Ann. It sounds like you're getting things pretty well mapped out. Please let us know if we can offer any more advice. Wishing you a magical vacation!

Home Management Coastal management in Australia
Managing the Australian coast
The first chapter of this book examined some of the global imperatives for coastal management, pointing out that (1) most people live on or close to the world's coast, (2) the global population has a high dependency on coastal resources, and (3) human impact on the coast is already at significant levels and is increasing. The second chapter used a number of Australian coastal examples to stress the need to understand coastal processes in order to formulate effective coastal management strategies. The third chapter then illustrated various forms of human impact on the Australian coast, and noted that many of our coastal problems related to either increased human pressure, a poor understanding of coastal processes and/or inadequate planning and management.
This chapter turns to coastal management principles and practices, and examines how these operate within the complexity of the different roles of Australian governments and interactions with different community and interest groups. This is further complicated by the range of different legislative mechanisms and instruments for dealing with coastal management in each jurisdiction.
The need for management
Given that there is clearly a need for effective coastal management in Australia, how do we go about it? What is coastal management, and what is the difference between that and coastal planning? Are there well-defined methodologies or guidelines for coastal management, and what is considered 'best practice' in coastal management?
The answers to these questions are not simple, since coastal management is not just about dealing with coastal impacts from identified coastal resource uses. It also involves political and economic considerations, which makes it difficult to discuss coastal processes in isolation from our cultural and organisational frameworks. For this reason Carter (1988), in attempting to bring coastal processes and management together in a key coastal text, discussed coastal management under five headings:
1 organisational frameworks
2 coastal water management
3 coastal land management
4 coastal ecosystem management
5 coastal hazards.
He also divided coastal management into three broad categories – policy, planning, and practice – with feedback loops between all three. However, one of the problems with his compartmentalised discussion between the different types of coastal management is the lack of integration. In fact, both Agenda 21 (UNCED 1992) and the subsequent World Coast conference in 1993 stressed the need for an integrated coastal management approach, as discussed in chapter 1 of this book. While Carter's approach is useful in recognising different types of coastal management problems, there is a danger in treating the coast in a sectoral fashion when it should be treated holistically. It is also useful to think about what is being managed, as it is not possible in reality to separate coastal water from coastal land or coastal ecosystems? We prefer to place the management emphasis back on to people, so in this book we define Australian coastal management as follows:
Coastal management is the management of human activities and sustainable use of Australia's coastal resources in order to minimise adverse impacts on coastal environments now and in the future.
Thus the emphasis is on managing those people who are using coastal resources rather than the other way round. In fact, Australia's major coastal management inquiry conducted by the RAC in 1993 disagreed on where this emphasis should be placed. One of the three special commissioners disagreed to such an extent that the final report of the RAC Inquiry contains a 116-page separate report by special commissioner Graham. At the start of his report he states: 'What is needed is management of the ways in which people use and develop resources.' This may be an obvious point, but it seems to have been missed by the Inquiry (Graham 1993 p. iv). Before discussing the Australian coastal management imperatives outlined in the RAC Inquiry, it is important to examine how coastal management has evolved and see if there are any lessons for Australia.
O'Riordan and Vellinga (1993) identify four key phases in the development of coastal management. First, the period from 1950 to 1970 was characterised by a sectoral approach which was largely reactive to coastal problems, had very little public participation, and lacked an ecological focus. It was towards the end of this period when the term 'coastal zone management' was created as part of the US Coastal Zone Management Act (Sorensen 1997). Second, there was a period from 1970 to 1990 when there was a growing environmental awareness and development of environmental impact assessment (also from the US; see Harvey 1998), increased public participation, greater integration between sectors, heightened ecological awareness, and a dominance of engineering solutions, but at times a forward-looking rather than reactive approach. O'Riordan and Vallinga's third phase is from 1990 to the time of their writing (1993) when the emphasis had shifted to sustainable development, integrated management, environmental restoration and public participation. Their final phase looks to the future, with a focus on ecological empathy, precautionary management and shared governance.
These phases in the development of coastal management around the globe are also evident in Australian coastal management approaches. For example, the very early coastal legislation such as the South Australian Coast Protection Act 1972 tends to be reactive in its approach and focuses on coast protection and engineering solutions. More recent legislation such as the Victorian Coastal Management Act 1995 incorporates the notion of sustainability, shared governance and public participation. At a broader scale, the various stages identified by O'Riordan and Vallinga are also reflected in the triggers for Australian coastal reform, as identified by Thom and Harvey (2000) and discussed in chapter 1 of this book.
At this point it is useful to consider the difference between coastal management and coastal planning, although there is more detailed discussion on planning later in this chapter. Kay and Alder (1999), in their book on Coastal Planning and Management, avoided the use of 'integrated' or 'coordinated' coastal management because of differing interpretations which they identified in the literature. They suggested that two valid definitions of coastal management could be either (1) directing day-to-day activities occurring on coastal lands and waters, or (2) the overall control of the government agencies (organisations) that oversee these day-to-day activities. However, this second definition appears to be restrictive by referring only to government, and lacks the community involvement and public participation that may be outside government control. They contrasted their 'control' oriented definitions of coastal management with coastal planning, which they suggest is more generically related to other forms of planning such as town planning. They noted that a distinctive element of planning is that it should essentially have two components: first, the determination of the aims for what is to be achieved in the future; and second, a clarification of the steps required to achieve these aims. They also noted that coastal planning concepts are much less developed than those for coastal management, but they also emphasised that coastal management per se is not unique, and that catchment management, for example, also uses various techniques to manage both land and water resources.
Australian coastal management, as outlined in chapter 1, has undergone extensive review, culminating in the RAC's Coastal Zone Inquiry in 1993. This inquiry indicated that we need better management and vision for the Australian coast. The report points to major problems such as urban sprawl and pollution of the coast. The Inquiry itself provided an assessment of the existing situation, but has left the action to others. The only guiding principle it used was the concept of ecologically sustainable development (ESD). (This is discussed further in relation to the coastal zone; see page 252.) The conclusion of the RAC report is that there is a lack of coordination between government agencies. Coastal management is different in every state, and the RAC suggested that all the states legislation should not be changed, but that a national approach be adopted, rather than a Commonwealth approach.
The Inquiry essentially concluded that there were numerous problems with the way in which coastal management was practised in Australia at that time (in 1993), and that it was time for a new approach. The Inquiry (RAC 1993, p 360) identified the major shortcomings of coastal management, as follows:
• Different and usually uncoordinated approval systems operate for public and private land
• Management and use of resources spanning marine and terrestrial areas is particularly impeded by a lack of integration and coordination of management systems
• Existing mechanisms do not provide for effective long-term management of coastal zone resources
• Approval procedures are complex, time consuming, and often sequential rather than concurrent, making them costly for applicants and governments
• Although some Commonwealth, state and local government agencies have developed policies to achieve coastal zone management objectives, the policies and objectives are often not implemented and they are rarely integrated with social, economic and environmental goals
Thus, in addition to the problems resulting from human impact on the Australian coast (as illustrated in chapter 3), there were inadequate or inefficient coastal management practices. Clearly there was an imperative for reform of Australian coastal management at the end of the 20th century. At about the same time, there were a number of international factors for reform (Thom & Harvey 2000). Collectively, this has produced significant change at both the Commonwealth and state government levels, particularly in the 1990s but with a momentum continuing into the 21st century (see chapter 1).
Although there have been a number of changes, such as the introduction of the Commonwealth's Coastal Policy (1995) and the reform of various pieces of state coastal management legislation or policies (e.g. in New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania and Victoria), it is useful to revisit the four factors for coastal management reform as discussed in chapter 1: global change, integrated resource management, sustainability, and community particpation. Global change was discussed in chapter 2, and sustainability and community particpation are the subject of separate discussion later in this chapter. The concept of sustainability or ESD was also a key aim of the RAC Inquiry. However, there is a need to expand on the concept of integration, as the lack of integration in Australian coastal management was a major finding of the RAC Inquiry.
According to Kay and Alder (1999, p. 57), the combination of adaptive, integrated, environmental, economic and social management systems that focus on coastal areas form the core concepts of coastal management. The concept of integration, as outlined in chapter 1, has a number of dimensions, such as intergovernmental, intersectoral, spatial, scientific management, and international. Of these, the first three are particularly relevant for Australia. Intergovernmental integration refers to vertical integration between Commonwealth, state and local governments. The RAC Inquiry found this to be lacking. Similarly, major problems were identified in relation to the lack of horizontal or intersectoral integration in Australian coastal management. Another major problem has been the lack of spatial integration between the land, ocean, and coast.
The concept of integrated coastal management (1CM) was outlined in some detail by Cicin-Sain and Knecht (1998), and there is evidence of management strategies designed to be integrative, but it is not so easy to find good examples of best practice. It appears that the Victorian coastal management system has a number of elements of ICM. A key element for establishing ICM in Victoria has been the creation of the Victorian Coastal Council (VCC), which is responsible for the planning and management of the Victorian coast. The VCC gives advice to the Minister for Environment and Conservation and has also been responsible for developing the Victorian Coastal Strategy (1997). This strategy is a statutory framework for the long-term sustainable management of the Victorian coast and is underpinned by principles of ESD and ICM. The Strategy has a clear statement of objectives and actions for coastal management, including the identification of the appropriate lead agency.
At the regional level in Victoria there are Regional Coastal Boards which provide an additional mechanism for ICM at this level by developing strong community, industry and local government linkages. These Boards also report to the Minister for Environment and Conservation and have many similar functions at the regional level to those of the VCC at the state level. One reason for the apparent success of both the Boards and the VCC is the diverse range of backgrounds and skills of the members. Another factor in achieving ICM at the regional level is the development of Coastal Action Plans by the Boards which guide coastal planning and management.
A second example of the Great Barrier Reef provides an even clearer example of ICM and has been quoted as a good example of ICM best practice in Australia (RAC 1993, Harvey 1999). Although ICM was defined in chapter 1 of this book, it is worth repeating the definition (from the 1993 World Coast Conference) here and comparing it with the Great Barrier Reef example: 'Integrated coastal management involves the comprehensive assessment, setting of objectives, planning and management of coastal systems and resources, taking into account traditional, cultural and historical perspectives and conflicting interests and uses; it is a continuous and evolutionary process for achieving sustainable development' (IPCC 1994, p. 40).
The same conference outlined a number of key elements of integration in order to achieve ICM (IPCC 1994, p. 25). These are to integrate:
• responsibilities of agencies at different levels of government (vertical integration)
• responsibilities of different government sectors (horizontal integration)
• responsibilities of government and local groups
• policies across sectors of the economy
• economic, technical/scientific, and legal approaches to coastal problems. Harvey (1999, p. 293) provided a full explanation of the reasons why the
Great Barrier Reef is a good example of ICM. That case is summarised here. First, as noted in chapter 3 of this book, there is great complexity in the management issues of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and World Heritage Area. However, the successful ICM is largely due to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Act, which has been in place since 1975, and the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area 25-year strategic plan, established in 1994. A major management success has been the use of zoning plans in the marine park that attempt to balance the needs of different user groups by spatial separation of conflicting uses. Zoning plans are characterised by simplicity and minimal regulation of human activities while maintaining consistency with other zoning plans, providing buffer zones and basing zone boundaries on geographic features, with single zones around discrete areas.
These zoning plans have been developed through an exhaustive process of consultation with community and stakeholder groups, using some basic principles:
• that the planning areas should be as large as possible
• that zones should encompass all acceptable usages
• that zones should grade from least through to most heavily protected zones, to buffer protected areas
• that traditional and customary users of the managed area should be consulted and involved in the development and implementation of the plans
• that traditional law and management practices should be incorporated to the greatest possible extent.
The levels of protection vary from preservation and scientific research zones which allow only some scientific research, to marine national park zones where most scientific, educational and recreational uses are permitted plus a marine park buffer zone, through to general use zones where uses are kept to sustainable levels. An example of an area that has been zoned, such as the Cairns region (figure 4.1) shows how this is applied. Across the whole of the marine park most of the park is zoned general use A and then B (see table 3.13, p. 171). The next largest section is the marine national park B.

Harvey (1999) noted that some of the examples of ICM for the Reef have linkages with integrated catchment management principles (as another form of integrated resource management) as identified by Hollick and Mitchell (1991). For example the marine park is managed under a partnership approach, with stakeholder involvement and conflict resolution mechanisms. It also has a clear jurisdictional element by defining the area as a single system or subsystem. There is a systems component through the identification of interactions between humans and a biophysical system. There is also a strategic approach of evaluating and prioritising key activities, and a flexibility that allows for adaptive management. All of these elements are consistent with Hollick and Mitchell's integrated management approach.
Referring back to the key elements of integration for ICM identified at the World Coast conference, these can best be illustrated by examining the types of integration that occur with the marine park management (see box 4.1). For example, it can be seen that all levels of government are involved (vertical integration), there is integration between government and local groups (consultative and advisory committees).
Box 4.1 Examples of integration, Great Barrier Reef
• Ministerial Council – State/Commonwealth level; coordinates policy at the Ministerial level
• GBRMP Authority- State/Commonwealth level; principal advisor to the Commonwealth regarding the care and development of the Park
• Consultative Committee – All levels of government (including local government) and NGOs; provides independent advice to the GBRMPA
• Advisory Committees -multidisciplinary research bodies set water quality, management coordinators, fishing, etc.
In addition to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park there is also evidence of ICM in the associated World Heritage Area 25-year strategic plan for the Reef. This plan makes specific reference to integrated management and aims to consider the ecological relationship between the area and other areas, particularly the mainland. The plan has eight sections, each of which clearly outlines the objectives and strategies. For example, the goal of resource management outlined in the strategy is to facilitate sustainable multiple uses of the resources of the World Heritage Area through integrated management systems. Similar ICM principles relate to mechanisms in the plan for integrating planning activities between the Great Barrier Reef, the wet tropics, and integrated catchment management, to name a few.
Coastal management is about managing human activities and making sure that there is sustainable use of Australia's coastal resources in order to minimise adverse impacts on coastal environments now and in the future. A major problem in the past with various forms of management has been to treat different regions or zones in a sectoral rather than a holistic manner. This has been very true for coastal management. There is now a realisation that our use of coastal resources cannot be considered in isolation from, for example, catchments or marine environments. For this reason coastal management has to take a broader approach to managing the impacts of humans on the coast.
In addition to the need for a holistic approach to biophysical aspects of the coast, there is also a need to coordinate our various management agencies, authorities, different levels of government, and various stakeholders who have an impact on the coast. For this reason it is important to adopt the principles of ICM. The management of the Reef is a good example of ICM, where each dimension of integration needed for the coastal zone (as proposed by Cicin- Sain 1993) has been addressed, including interactions among sectors, between regions, among government levels and the wider community, and between disciplines, all of which are essential requirements of integrated management (Harvey 1999, p. 295).

Beginning of School Projects
Divine Life Society of South Africa has been dedicated to the moral, educational and spiritual upliftment of communities in South Africa throughout its history of six decades in this country.
The Society began its African Education Projects in 1974. Thirty five years later, after ensuring community participation in each one of the projects, it has completed the building of over 350 education, health and other projects. Our education projects include the establishment of 374 classrooms, libraries, offices and staffrooms in various parts of KwaZulu-Natal.
It will not be out of place to relate how Pujya Swamiji's relationship with the African community originated and developed all these years.
Pujya Swamiji wrote: "During my early life in the Midlands town of Estcourt, our family moved very amicably with Africans. Often on Sundays my parents and some of my brothers and sisters would go out fishing or for collecting fuel. This journey would be about 20 kilometers to and fro, all done on foot. I remember how my parents would always spend about half an hour or more at a kraal in the area we went to, to entertain and be entertained by Africans. All had to drink twala from a single clay pot. This was the custom. It was a health drink and not intoxicating. I never liked the taste of it and used to ask for mahew and ground mabella! It was so nice to see my parents sitting and chatting with their African friends."
"Later, after I took to the spiritual path and guided my parents, they changed to vegetarian diet. Because of this early interaction, it was easy for me to meet and work with Africans, when we took up education and health projects for them."
"As I said, the Divine Master ordained our work for Africans, and it is his Grace that is behind all our activities. He is teaching us in a practical manner how to see the Lord in all names and forms. It is easy to say that all beings are the forms of God, but to serve such beings with love and compassion is not easy. The heart has to expand and the power of God has to settle in it through meditation and prayer for this to happen. Then it becomes quite easy to see God in all names and forms, regardless of race, colour and creed."
Pujya Swamiji reproduces herewith the manner in which the school projects for the Africans commenced:
"The projects we started about 1974 were ordained by our Divine Master. It happened like this. I went on a pilgrimage to India around 1974. In many places, like Chennai, I saw street children begging. I would buy some eatables for them. It was a pathetic sight to see these poor children. So I decided that when I returned to South Africa, I would send money to India to feed these children."
"On returning, when I began reflecting over the matter, I felt my Master telling me from within: "God in the form of the Africans is suffering in this country. Why not do something for them first instead of sending money to India?"
"It was not a voice that I heard. It was just a strong urge I felt coming from our Divine Master. So we decided to send R25 000 to Dr M.G. Buthelezi to have a school built in Mahlabatini. We had contact with him because his daughter, Mandisi, stayed at our Ashram for several months."
"Dr Buthelezi asked us to build the school ourselves, as the school committee might not use the funds properly. That is how we started our first project. Most of the material had to be transported by us from Durban to Mahlabatini, a distance of 300km. All enjoyed the work. Often we used to spend the night at Dr Buthelezi's residence. We used to be treated with great hospitality. When Dr Buthelezi built a beautiful new home we used to spend the night there, receiving VIP treatment."
"People heard of our work and contributed funds. So, after building the first school we decided to continue our projects. It was hard work because we had to transport building material to distant centres. Often our trucks used to return at midnight. All the school committees worked enthusiastically. They were very honest and no material was wasted or stolen. The school committees had to supply the unskilled labour and pay a small amount."
"Any hard work is often tested, but the Grace of God and our Divine Master always comes to our aid. Once, we were asked to build a school in the South Coast. As we drove to the church building that the children were using, we came across large potholes. I became hesitant and resolved not to undertake this project, as our vehicles might get bogged. But when I saw the little children sitting on the bare cement floor, I immediately took a resolution that whatever happens, I will build this school. I returned and at once sent some carpets for the children."
"When the project began, the truck taking the first load of sand got bogged. The European firm got annoyed because they lost finance and refused to transport any more sand. I tried many firms, but all refused. At last, Y.C. Naidoo, father of our beloved Dhanpal Naidoo, delivered all the sand and, what is more, did not charge us anything for it. From then onwards, even after the passing of Y.C. Naidoo, our Dhanpal Naidoo, has been serving our Society by supplying sand free of charge for our building projects. That is how God tests us and comes to our rescue at the same time."
"When the Society first began its educational projects for the Africans, some individuals stated that it was a very late start. I felt: 'better late than never.' "Also some individuals were not in favour of serving the Africans because of the riots that had taken place in Inanda. But the Society did not worry about this as it felt that it was serving God by undertaking such work."
"One of the questions put to me by individuals some years after the commencement of the school building projects was whether Africans appreciated what the Society was doing. I would answer that as the Society was serving God and its work was worship of the Lord, it did not seek any kind of appreciation."

Addison and I arrived in Cusco last night around 1030. We met a couple of guys from Chicago, the first Americans we have seen besides Rachel and Terry. They hitched a ride with us to our hotel and then left. Cusco is a neat city with somewhat of a European feel. Today we are taking a tour of I think some landmarks, Macchu Pichu tomorrow, and a city tour Monday before heading back to La Paz Monday night. I am uber excited about Macchu Pichu, a place I have wanted to see since the first time I came to Peru in 2005. We were unaware time changed and thus awoke an hour early. We found out because we thought our tour agency was late but the recepcionist at the hotel pointed to the clock. I felt like an idiot. I walked outside this morning around 730 (but really 630) and everything was quiet. I was like, man this town is dead.
SPECIAL NOTE: * To all of our financial supporters, no worries. We are using personal money for this trip.
This past saturday Jarred, Mateo, Rachel and I took all our boys to El Tigre. El Tigre is a smaller villiage about 35 miles north of Ixiamas. We left early Saturday morning and after the four hour drive we arrived to one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The road turned into a huge soccer field right on the edge of the mountians of Maddidi National Park. We had sent a letter earlier to tell the town we were bringing our team from the Internada to play them. We played six games of soccer in thirty six hours. Ha is was a blast. In the first four games Jarred only allowed two goals. He played goalie for most of the games. Lets just say with hands like a cat, eyes like a hawk, and the aggression of a medium size T-Rex, he was the man for the job. It was one of the most fun weekends I have had and I think for Jarred probably also. It was great to get to play with the boys because they are all really good and they make me look good. I had five goals and three by basically standing and using my head. NOTE: Bolivians are short. When we arrived to Tigre all of the kids from the villiage brought us fresh fruit. It was so cool. They brought so much fruit we took a bag home with us. That night we watched a movie with the whole villiage basically. I dont know the exact number but there were probably 150 people for the movie. The town hosted us and cooked all the meals for us and were just so amazingly warm to us. It was a time that I saw God in the hearts of the people there. With warm smiles and open arms they gave freely of what they had without hesitation. Thank God for the people of El Tigre. Jarred and I are back in La Paz now. We landed about an hour ago. We flew back from Rurre this time. We woke up and caught the mini bus at four this morning and then waited for our flight at 3:00. It was a 45 min flight otherwise it was gonna be another 18 hour bus ride. It was worth the fifty bucks ha. Friday we head to Peru, but first to show and tell for Mateo the Internada Directors niece at her school in the altiplano…haha..should be fun.

FG plans to use security agencies to disrupt elections in Rivers, Akwa-Ibom – Wike
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has alleged that the APC Federal Government is working in liaison with security agencies to disrupt the 2019 Governorship Elections in Rivers and Akwa Ibom States.
Wike stated that the motive was to mobilise the Federal Government's rigging security apparatus from all other states to the two states on a later date for the manipulation of the two strategic governorship elections.
Speaking during a courtesy visit by the Netherlands Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Robert Petri, the governor urged the European Union to pay closer attention to the two elections.
"When I raised the alarm that the Federal Government is plotting to plant 800 guns in Rivers State to destabilise the state, it is the truth. It is real.
"The Federal Government, working with the security agencies is planning to disrupt the 2019 Governorship Elections in Rivers and Akwa Ibom States. They want to ensure that the elections don't hold with other states, so that they can mobilise security agencies to manipulate the results", he said.
The governor noted that the international community must work with Nigerians to ensure that what happened in Osun State is not repeated in the Niger Delta.
Wike said that if INEC and police could allow 55 percent free and fair elections, Nigerians would be happy.
"As members of the European Union, we want you to use your position to prevail on INEC and security agencies to allow the will of the people.
"Manipulating the electoral process is corruption. This administration claims that it is fighting corruption, but that is not true. When a PDP member defects, the issue of corruption against him ends", he said.
The governor stated that the President had refused to sign the amended Electoral Act because they have ulterior motive.
On the clean up of Ogoni, Wike regretted that the APC Federal Government had politicised the exercise, which is only thrown up during elections.
In his remarks, the Netherlands Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Robert Petri assured that the European Union would closely monitor the forthcoming elections to ensure they are credible.
"We are getting closer to the General Elections which are very important . We need free and fair elections conducted under a peaceful environment.
"The European Union, which we are part of, will be sending monitors for the Presidential and Governorship Elections. It is important that the elections are conducted in a friendly environment," he said. He said that the Government of Netherlands is happy that the clean up of Ogoni land.

Men of the medieval period carried a knife or dagger both as a utilitarian tool and as a defensive weapon. One of the most common forms of these everyday weapons would have derived from the single-edged domestic knife. In German texts these knives are referred to as hauswehr, which roughly means "home defense weapon." These weapons are found throughout historical art and appear to be nearly ubiquitous amongst all classes of men including civilian townspeople, peasants, and farmers.
The hauswehr is generally defined as having a relatively long single-edged blade of wedge shape with nearly parallel edges that curve suddenly to meet at a sharp point-section. The broad tang is mounted with scales of an organic material (wood, bone, horn, etc.) that are attached with rivets. Many examples have what is called a nagel: a lugged projection that extends at a right angle from the blade to form a rudimentary guard.
Some German and Swiss texts dating from the 16th century refer to these knives as rugger, ruggner, or ruggerli.
The knife shown here is a simple form that almost resembles a modern-day steak knife. Its long blade is stout and sturdy with a triangular cross-section characteristic of the type. The edge is very fine and sharp, capable of performing everyday chores or being an effective weapon.
The grip is made of walnut and was chosen to closely match a grosse messer from my collection. The nagel is a simple rounded form and extends through the guard where it is riveted cleanly on the other side. The spine of the tang has decorative filework that is visible between the grip scales.
The knife fits deeply into a double-leather scabbard created with a cut-out for the nagel. A decorative metal tip with a faceted finial adds a bit of flare to an otherwise austere piece.
Blade: 11.5" long; 1.25" wide tapering to .5"
Maker: Tod's Stuff of Oxford, United Kingdom.

No, it's not Davros - when he grows up, I think he wants to be a mediaeval King's Fool - but he may yet change his mind! On Sunday, I had the most amazing and inspiring day with the talented Tanya Goddard, who creates art dolls. Tanya comes from Russia, where there is a tradition for these wonderful, expressive character dolls. It was such a privilege to spend a day with Tanya, learning all her secrets and I feel SO inspired!! She gave me some Paper Clay to make my homework - brilliant stuff to use, which I believe you can get on Amazon.
At my next lesson, I will learn how to make the body and clothes - I love that Tanya uses recycled materials and things like toilet paper to make her beautiful sculptures, definitely a woman after my own heart!
So, I will checking in at Julia's when I get home from work this evening - see you there!
Well, your 'cup head' is fabulous and it sounds as if it was a real successful workshop you went on - and more to come. Sounds fun too. Will be looking forward to seeing your next instalment on Davros or whoever he turns out to be.
I can see where you are coming from with Davros!!! I was thinking Dobby the house elf!!
He's is a charming fellow, thank you for sharing.
Oh I hope you're coping with the new routine...I hope that if not Wednesday then you are getting some other day! Loving the sculpture, and I agree a court fool or travelling bard, he definitely has the look!
Another stunning project ... is there anything that you can't do :D I think he is beautiful.

The Queen's Journey
by ChessBase
11/19/2020 – A journey in fantasy and harmony, that is the chess and music project "The Queen's Journey" by musician and chess lover Jason Kouchak. The main target group of the project are children, especially girls. The message is that chess is fun and helps you to develop your personality. Spice Girl Geri Halliwell supported the project. | Photo: Julian Paix
new: ChessBase Magazine 198
Special: Kasparov as a challenger. New: "All in One" – Anish Giri dissects two topical opening lines. Analyses from the Online Olympiad by So, Duda, Sarin et al. Videos by Erwin l'Ami, Daniel King and Mihail Marin. 11 opening articles and much more!
"Simple yet aggressive!" Enjoy this new exciting DVD by Simon Williams. Let the famouns Grandmaster from England show you how to gain a very exciting yet well founded opening game with the London System (1.d4 d5 2.Bf4).
Jason Kouchak: Chess and Music
The second great love of the musician Jason Kouchak is chess. Chess and music, but also ballet, all search for harmony, says Jason Kouchak. By combining them he tries to bring children to chess, but also to music and dance.
"It is a combination that inspires children to be creative and shape their future together."
In 2016, Kouchak launched a musical chess project, "The Queen's Journey", which is aimed primarily at girls and wants to introduce them to chess, music and dance – which all help personal development and are also a lot of fun.
Since its creation, "The Queen's Journey" has toured various countries and appeared in USA, England and Hungary.
"I am happy about the great response to "The Queen's Gambit" series," says Kouchak. "The series takes the same line as my project, though in a slightly different way. But it shows that girls and women can be just as successful in chess as men."
"Even now, in these difficult times, there is always the opportunity to look forward to better times through a process of visualisation and to give free rein to your imagination. With our events we encourage women and girls to play chess and to see it as a means to acquire life skills. Those who play chess become strong, look ahead and learn to pursue their own goals. With its overarching concept of combining chess, music and dance, The Queen's Journey is always able to take up new themes and is therefore always up-to-date and relevant."

Mattie Leigh 'Skeet' McDonald, 95, died Oct. 18, 2020
3 months ago by: DailyTrib.com
Mattie Leigh "Skeet" McDonald, and "Mimi" to her grandchildren, died the morning of Oct. 18, 2020, at the age of 95 due to natural causes.
As a skinny child, many called her a mosquito and her daddy called her "Skeeter Bug." That was later shortened to "Skeet," and the nickname followed her through life.
Skeet was a vivacious, funny, and energetic woman with a tenacity that made people balk at times. She was truly unafraid and bold. A beautiful woman with movie star looks and a stunning smile, she lit up the room when she entered and was always the center of attention.
Skeet was born in Central Texas and spent most of her life living in El Paso, raising her two children and working as a receptionist in a doctor's office. She was widowed at a young age but persevered and lived a happy, full life.
She married Jim McDonald in 1974, and he was a very dedicated and loving husband as well as a father/grandfather to her children and grandchildren.
Skeet was a devout Christian and is now with her Lord and Savior in Heaven. She is survived by her husband, James McDonald; daughter, Jude deLaubenfels; grandchildren to include Marilee Morgan, Jason Williams, and Jessica Smith; and great-grandchildren, Shennon Andrew Morgan and Emma Nicole Morgan.
Due to the pandemic, services will not be held at this time. Instead, her cremains will be retained until a proper internment service and dedication can be recognized.
Funeral arrangements made under the direction of Waldrope-Hatfield-Hawthorne Funeral Home of Llano. Condolences may be emailed to whhfuneral1@verizon.net.

The Domino Effect and Other Domino Facts
The game of dominoes is a variation of the card game of spades. The dominoes are divided into squares, with identifying marks on one side and blanks on the other. Some dominoes are striped, while others have spots or pips. In some cases, no identifying marks are found on the dominoes at all. The winner of a game is the player with the highest score after all of the players have played their hands.
The name domino is derived from the French word for "domino," which referred to a kind of chess board. It also came from the Medieval Latindomino. Various kinds of dominos are produced for play in restaurants and in homes. If you don't have any dominoes, you can make your own with other objects. This will give you a unique domino course.
In addition to facilitating collaboration, Domino can help teams manage their workloads. The software can serve as a central repository for data, code, and other data. Data and code are linked together when an application is launched on Domino. The centralized storage and execution of code enables collaboration across teams, enforces access controls, detects conflicts, and sends notifications when changes occur. Domino also supports a wide range of technologies, including web-based applications.
The Domino Effect is a psychological concept that capitalizes on some fundamental principles of human behavior. One researcher from Northwestern University found that participants who reduced their sedentary time tended to eat less fat. In other words, their behavior was not prompted by any outside influence, but rather by the fact that they spent less time sitting. During this time, they were also less likely to indulge in mindless eating. As a result, their nutrition habits improved naturally as a result.
The game of domino is said to have originated in China. Chinese dominoes, which are very similar to playing cards, were created to represent all of the possible throws of two dice. For this reason, the Chinese dominoes are called "dotted cards" because there is no blank face on them. The Chinese version of the game was traditionally used in trick-taking games. Western 5-3 is a set of dominoes with a 5 on one end and a 3 on the other. In Chinese 5-3, the 5 and 3 are all over the board. The 5 of clubs is the same as the 5 of diamonds.
A traditional domino set has a unique piece for every combination of two ends with pips ranging from zero to six spots. The highest value piece is the highest value and has six pips on each end. Double-six sets contain 190 dominoes. Originally, the game was played by throwing two six-sided dice. However, modern variations contain duplicated pieces, giving a player 28 different pieces. When playing dominoes, it is important to remember that each domino can have more than one effect on another.

I am the owner/head brewer of Barrier Brewing Co. in Oceanside, N.Y. I got started homebrewing about five years ago. What started as a hobby became a passion and turned into a career. I then worked at a commercial brewery in Brooklyn for two years as a brewer.
Aside from the brewery? Everything! This marks the third week of being officially open for business. Barrier is currently brewing six different beers (Ruthless IPA, GreenRoom Pale Ale, Lights Out Stout, Beech St. Wheat, Bulkhead Red and Belgian1) and all are being received well by the public.
Everyone is very helpful when it comes to answering questions and troubleshooting problems. I think that everyone realizes (for the most part) that if one of us succeeds, we all do. This kind of thinking will lead the craft brewing industry toward infinite sustainability.
I like to hang with my wife and my two dogs, and play music with friends. Surfing, hiking, snowboarding and mountain biking are also very enjoyable.

Special Report: Young Girl Accompanied by High School Teacher at Raleigh Abortion Clinic
December 12, 2022 December 12, 2022 by CEC for Life News
CEC for Life and Operation Rescue have been working together to uncover the details of a recent emergency at an abortion facility in Raleigh, North Carolina involving a young Hispanic girl and an ESL teacher.
On the morning of Saturday, December 3, a sidewalk advocate in Raleigh, North Carolina, watched a fire truck pull up to A Woman's Choice of Raleigh, located at 3305 Drake Circle. The emergency lights were flashing, but the sirens were not on. Shortly after, an ambulance with Wake County EMS arrived. It was close to 10 a.m.
Earlier that morning, the same sidewalk advocate had arrived around 8:30 a.m., a half hour before the clinic opened. She reports that she noticed a middle-aged woman, possibly Caucasian, standing at the door with a young Hispanic girl. The girl looked like she could be in her teens. The advocate called out a greeting and, at first, the older woman and girl returned the greeting. However, once the older woman realized the sidewalk advocate was not with the abortion clinic, she turned her body away and encouraged the young girl to do the same. She began talking to the young girl without pause, as if to distract her from hearing any of the life-affirming options being offered from the sidewalk.
At about 8:40 a.m., the clinic opened early to let the two inside. An hour later, the fire truck and ambulance arrived.
EMS workers took a gurney through the back door of the clinic and came out some minutes later with a patient on the stretcher. The patient was sitting up, and a sheet was draped over her head. However, the advocate reported she could see the same clothing and shoes the young girl had been wearing, and she was followed out by the older woman.
According to the advocate's account, it seemed clear the older woman was not this girl's mother. She seemed to act more like a chaperone than a parent. When she brought her red car around to follow the ambulance, those on the sidewalk noticed a Cary High School sticker on the car. The pro-life advocate happened to be a graduate from that school, and she suddenly wondered if this woman might be a teacher. If so, was this one of her students?
In North Carolina, a physician must obtain the written consent of a parent or legal guardian to perform an abortion. Again, this woman didn't appear to act like a parent, though she could be a legal guardian. It was also impossible to know the girl's age, only that she looked very young.
Ultimately, the sidewalk advocates had no way of discerning the backstory of this young girl now being loaded into the ambulance with a sheet over her head, nor could they be certain of her relationship to the older woman. There are also deep concerns around human trafficking in the city of Raleigh, which makes reporting anything even remotely suspicious a real priority for these advocates.
According to the North Carolina Department of Administration, the state is one of the top ten for reported cases of trafficking, and we know from well-documented investigations that abortion clinics have no problem providing cover for human traffickers. While this woman might not be a trafficker, how could the advocates know anything for sure?
Just as the ambulance was pulling out, the pro-lifers made a firm decision to call the non-emergency police line and ask for an officer to come and make sure the girl was safe. They also decided to find out if the older woman was, in fact, a Cary High School teacher.
Soon two police officers arrived on the scene and spoke with the sidewalk counselor who made the call. A few minutes later, the ambulance also returned, and the officers spoke with the EMS workers. Advocates report that, though it had only left a short time ago, it seemed to be the same ambulance. There is also a hospital about 4 minutes away, so it is possible they dropped the girl at the ER and returned. The EMS did not bring the patient out of the vehicle while speaking with the police, and the red car with the Cary High School sticker also never returned. Reports from the sidewalk indicate the police never went inside the clinic.
Later that day, pro-life advocates found what they believed was a photo of the older woman seen at the clinic that morning on the Cary High School website. Interestingly enough, she was an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher. Still, wanting to be certain, one pro-life citizen visited the school a few days later. She met with the assistant principal and received a call from the principal later. Both administrators confirmed that the woman at the clinic was the ESL teacher, and the assistant principal immediately wanted to know if the young girl with the teacher was Hispanic.
During the phone call, the principal said it was not the policy of the school to refer students to abortion clinics. He also told the pro-life advocate that he spoke with the teacher, and she claimed the girl was not one of her students. He said she also reported the girl did not go through with the abortion that day and claimed the transport by ambulance was not related to an abortion injury.
This last part checks out, as the advocates knew the abortionist generally arrives later in the day, and the girl was not in the clinic very long. Still, while the teacher may claim it was not one of her students, we cannot independently verify that. The pro-lifers never take pictures of patients as they enter the clinic so they could not show one to the administrators when they asked. Also, the young girl could have been from another school or another class, and still a student. As far as we know, the principal did not obtain any details that would rule out this possibility.
What we do know is that this ESL teacher chose to take a girl to an abortion clinic that day instead of a doctor's office or pregnancy center. And when offered more life-affirming options from the sidewalk, this teacher actively tried to prevent the girl from hearing them. Was that support or coercion?
As soon as we received this report, Operation Rescue and CEC For Life submitted a request for the 911 records which, according to state law, are public.
The City of Raleigh office has already denied the 911 request, citing that 911 records of a "medical nature" are not considered public according to another state law. This is odd, considering that Operation Rescue and CEC For Life received requested 911 records earlier this year for an emergency at Planned Parenthood in Chapel Hill, only an hour away from this Raleigh clinic.
The Chapel Hill request was straight-forward and by the book, with personal information redacted and voices altered for privacy. The City of Raleigh office wouldn't even provide access to the Computer-Aided Dispatch report, cataloging it as a "medical record" as well.
Even without the 911 call, Operation Rescue and CEC For Life will still file a complaint with the Division of Health Service Regulation, calling for an investigation into any aspects of this incident that might violate state regulations or parental consent laws.
Past deficiency reports reveal this facility actually should have been shut down due to sanitation failures alone.
A Woman's Choice failed inspection as recently as August 2021 for failing to properly sanitize medical instruments – a basic requirement of any medical facility. And, the fact that staff didn't properly sanitize even with an inspector standing right beside them indicates they are likely not trained to properly sanitize at all.
In November 2020, it also failed inspection for sanitation problems, including failing to properly maintain the autoclave (which sanitizes surgical instruments), failing to make sure disinfectant solution was effective, and failing to disinfect vaginal ultrasound probes.
In that same 2020 report, A Woman's Choice also failed to document proof of a physical exam for all patients – when asked why, the physicians just said they "do not believe it to be necessary prior to medical abortions." The clinic also failed to provide patient privacy in the recovery room. (Perhaps we should alert the City of Raleigh office, as they were so concerned with patient privacy this week.)
"It's shameful to see an educator ushering a young girl into some abortion clinic that can barely follow proper sanitation practices as a place of so-called care," said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. "Abortion harms women and children, and this woman, for whatever reason, ended up in an ambulance barely an hour after entering its doors. Raleigh needs to stop protecting shoddy abortion businesses and start protecting its citizens."
Fr. Terry Gensemer, Director of CEC for Life, added, "We cannot stress enough the importance of pro-life advocates on the sidewalk bringing situations like this to light. Abortion is currently still legal in North Carolina, so we must continue to expose the truth about abortion and hold these officials and agencies accountable when they let dangerous clinics remain open. We are thankful this girl 'missed' the chance to have an abortion this weekend – it means her child gained another chance at life. We pray she connects with the local sidewalk advocates who are willing and ready to come alongside her and her baby."

Last chance to have your say
In December 2017, Dorset's Police & Crime Commissioner launched a public consultation seeking residents' views on lowering the drink drive limit. There is just one week left to have your say before the consultation closes.
While Scotland saw its drink drive limit lowered in December 2014 to 50 milligrams per 100ml of blood, the 80 milligram limit set in the 1967 Road Safety Act remains in place in England and Wales.
PCC Martyn Underhill said: "The law should give drivers conclusive guidance. The problem with having the most generous legal drink drive threshold in Europe is that it encourages motorists to "have a few" and "chance it".
"It's a fact that any blood alcohol content affects the way that you drive. Be it through lack of attention, speed of reaction or just increased bravado, permitting drinking before driving creates risk and we should not underestimate the impact that the current limit has on road safety."
In 2016, alcohol was recorded as a contributory factor in 26 collisions in Dorset. Of these, at least 4 serious injury collisions involved motorists who had alcohol present in their blood, but at a level below the current legal limit.
Limitations with data recording may mean that in reality, the number of collisions involving drivers impaired by alcohol is far higher. For example, samples are not taken when individuals are too badly injured at the time of a collision, and under Home Office rules, police are only required to record results when motorists fail a roadside breath test.
Sir Peter North carried out a 'Review of Drink and Drug Driving Law' in 2010 and made a recommendation for a reduction to a 50mg legal limit. The review concluded:
'Research consistently demonstrates that the risk of having an accident increases exponentially as more alcohol is consumed. Drivers with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of between 20mg per 100ml and 50 mg/100 ml have at least a three times greater risk of dying in a vehicle crash than those drivers who have no alcohol in their blood. This risk increases to at least six times with a BAC between 50 mg/100 ml and 80 mg/100 ml, and to 11 times with a BAC between 80 mg/100 ml and 100 mg/100 ml.'
Department for Transport figures recently showed that alcohol-related collisions resulted in 9,050 casualties in 2016, up by 7 per cent in 12 months.
The PCC continued: "I am convinced that a lower limit where one drink could cost you your licence sends a clearer message. With fatalities and injuries on the rise and traffic officer numbers in decline due to police funding cuts, we need drink drive legislation to more effectively deter motorists from drinking at all before getting behind the wheel."
The Commissioner intends to continue to lobby Government to rethink this issue and will place the views of local people are at the forefront of discussions.

The Revenue Act provides penalty and interest if a taxpayer fails to pay a tax within the time specified.
Penalty is 5 percent of the total unpaid tax due for the first two months. After two months, 5% of the unpaid tax amount is assessed each month. The maximum late penalty is equal to 25% of the unpaid tax owed.


What do you get for your ticket price, and what facilities are available?
Camping space for approximately 100 tents.
A word about rubbish – we are able to offer recycling facilities but we ask you to take your land-fill rubbish off site when you leave. The dump is very close and each camper is given a bin liner on arrival.
We always advise festival goers to bring what they need to self-cater at Surya, but we also have a simple vegetarian/vegan cafe, Babajis, offering breakfast from eight o'clock, a light lunch from 12 – 2pm and dinner served at about 6 – 6.30pm. Hot drinks and cakes are also available. Brownies and chai are a favourite and we always have vegan alternatives. Where possible the cafe uses fruit and veg from Chyan's own community allotments.
At Surya Yoga Camp we offer a wide and varied programme of activities for children tailored to different age groups and both genders. All workshops are offered by experienced individuals with a current DBS check, or a DBS checked adult will also be present.
We do not provide a crèche. The insurance poses too many problems.
Children above the age of 5 can be left at any of the events providing they are content to be there. Children under 5 will need to be accompanied by an adult, unless the workshop leader has agreed otherwise.
The site is a wonderful playground, with secret spaces, safe shallow pools in the stream and woodland, but some younger children will need careful supervision, particularly around the fire and the water. Please note children are welcome in all of the classes providing that they are not disruptive.

Fuel Cell Technology vs. Hybrid Technology
by BE FORWARD Supporters.
Marked by concerns over pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and rising fuel costs, most governments have moved to regulate various industries that depend on fossil fuels. In the United States, for example, about a third of emissions is tied to power production, and another third to the transportation industry, including automobiles. Making engines smaller is one method to reduce fuel consumption, which also reduces emissions and pollution related to automobiles.
On the other hand, making engines smaller can only be taken so far before an automobile ceases to be useful, which is why automakers have been developing alternative fuel vehicles that run on everything from electricity to corn-based ethanol. Moving to alternative forms of propulsion has the effect of further reducing fossil fuel consumption, and therefore emissions, without sacrificing vehicle performance. Perhaps one company to lead the way in the mass-production of alternative fuel vehicles was Toyota Motor Company, who pioneered the hybrid electric vehicle with the Toyota Prius.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles
Convenience vs Emissions
Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), as the term suggests, are a hybrid combination of a small internal combustion engine (ICE) and one or more electric motor-generators (MG). The combination is critical because both ICEs and MGs have different strengths and weaknesses, the MG's strength covering for the weaknesses of the ICE, and vice-versa.
Whereas the ICE needs to "rev up" to deliver any useable power, an electric motor delivers all its power at zero rpm (revolutions per minute), which means that an MG can quickly accelerate a vehicle in its most efficient state. Once vehicle speed gets high enough, the ICE, which runs at its most efficient within a narrow rpm range, can keep the vehicle cruising.
The MGs also enable to vehicle to perform another efficiency feat, that of recovering kinetic energy. Conventional vehicles, those powered only by ICEs, let the engine idle when the vehicle is slowing down or at a stop, a waste of fuel and emissions. With an MG and a hybrid battery, however, the ICE can shut down on deceleration, while the MGs function as generators, effectively braking and slowing the vehicle. The energy generated during regenerative braking is stored in the hybrid battery, where it is used the next time the vehicle accelerates. While stopped, the ICE only runs if it needs to generate electricity for the vehicle's electrical systems and the hybrid battery.
Hybrid vehicles still use some amount of fuel, so the next step might be to get rid of the fuel altogether, which is where battery electric (BEV) and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCV) come in. A hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) generates electricity from hydrogen gas, the only emissions being harmless water vapour. While a number of research laboratories and automakers are developing HFC technology, Toyota Motor Company, again seems to be taking the lead in mass-production of this alternative fuel vehicle. Based on the Toyota FCV and Toyota FCHV-Adv Concepts, a production Toyota fuel cell vehicle may be available as early as 2015.
As the name suggests, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles run on hydrogen gas, which reacts in a fuel cell, but its construction and operation is more similar to a hybrid electric vehicle than to a battery electric vehicle. Like an HEV, a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle has a hybrid battery pack and electric motor-generators, replacing the ICE with the hydrogen fuel cell.
On acceleration, electricity from the hybrid battery pack and the hydrogen fuel cell is fed into the MGs to move the vehicle. While cruising, the HFC generates electricity from hydrogen gas, to power the MGs and moderately charge the hybrid battery pack. On deceleration, the HFC stops generating electricity and the MGs switch to generator mode, slowing the vehicle and recovering kinetic energy, storing it in the hybrid battery pack for use in the next acceleration. While stopped, the HFC only functions if it needs to generate electricity for the hybrid battery pack or vehicle electrical systems.
Of the three vehicle types, hybrid electric vehicles require no changes on the part of the driver. They can refill at any gas station in the world in minutes, but they still generate more emissions than battery electric vehicles or fuel cell vehicles. The lowest-emissions vehicle would be BEVs, and this depends on what charges the power grid where it is plugged in. Still, BEVs have a limited range and may need a few hours to recharge. Considering that the average driver doesn't exceed even the most basic BEV range, recharging overnight, even on an LI electric vehicle charger, is no more intrusive than plugging in our smartphones and laptops every night.
It appears that Toyota Motor Company, which has eschewed BEV technology for FCV technology, is banking on the fact that FCVs offer the low emissions of BEVs with the refuelling convenience of HEVs. Instead of refuelling at a gas station, FCVs would need a special hydrogen fuel station, but it also takes less than ten minutes, about the same as refuelling any conventional or hybrid vehicle.
Depending on how the hydrogen fuel is generated, this in itself may prove to be an environmental-nightmare, negating the supposed low-emissions status of FCVs. Natural gas reformation, for example, still depends on fossil fuels to generate hydrogen gas. On the other hand, solar-powered electrolysis or "artificial leaf" concepts may be able to generate hydrogen fuel without any greenhouse gas emissions.

Our Caribbean Collection is one of the earliest Totally Bamboo lines and the first bamboo boards to feature a decorative inlay. Light strips of natural vertical grain bamboo surround a wide strip of end grain bamboo... the cutting board equivalent to dressing up for a night on the town.
The Barbados is the beautiful little board that could. It's perfect at the bar for slicing limes, lemons and other garnishes. Equally comfortable in the kitchen, it's great for making a quick sandwich, slicing cheeses or chopping up a quick onion.

In today's media dense culture, more and more businesses are realizing the importance of building their brand through social media marketing. Online presence on social media provides three significant benefits that can help to solidify the legitimacy of any brand and profitability of a company.
Social Media Marketing offers the ability to reach more potential customers than ever before. Not only can a company choose the dynamic they would like to reach when creating an advertising campaign, this type of marketing also provides the unique benefits of organic (when a potential customer interacts with a company's page independent of an advertisement or shared post) and viral (posts or references they see on their newsfeeds from friends or liked pages activity) reaches. This means that aside from the leads that the advertisement would be sent to, those leads themselves provide touches to consumers that were never or would never be on their list.
A company's social media presence can be a public relations department's best friend. Just how it can be utilized to reach a broader consumer base, it can also share with that consumer base all the social causes that it helps through contributed funds, products, or efforts. This is vital to a healthy public perception. Public opinion matters! Recently, a few companies have been held accountable for their indiscretions, through protests and even boycotts, which obviously have a negative impact on their annual profits.
Along with making customers aware of the company brand and culture, marketing via social media allows any company the fundamental ingredient to gaining customer loyalty. That key is constant customer interaction and feedback. Interacting with customers shows them the business cares about their wants and needs, and draws them in to the company culture and vision. When a customer feels that products or services are "tailor made" for them, they are more inclined to be loyal to the brand that makes them feel heard.
Utilizing social media marketing to build their brand, is a valuable necessity most companies cannot afford to neglect. The keys to building a successful brand are to reach a broader consumer base, improve consumer perception of the company, and improve customer satisfaction through interaction on social media.
Reach out to us to learn just how important social media can be to your business, and how we can help you utilize it to its maximum potential.

For a long time I'd eschewed putting a score or rating to the wines I've reviewed on here, hoping that the reader could make their own conclusions based on my review and words. For some of my other writings published elsewhere, I use an arbitrary rating out of 10. Yet people were still asking of the wines I've reviewed on my site about a score to reflect a summation of my thoughts.
There are a myriad of systems that one could employ. I've chosen not to go with a 100 point scale as the incremental difference between say, 92 and 93 is infinitesimal and to me seems more complex for the average wine drinker to comprehend. As such, I have begun to use well regarding 20 point scale (with quarters for "+") similar to those favoured by Australian wine shows and many other wine writers.
Gold: 18.25 to 20 – an exceptional wine.
Silver: 17 to 18 – an extremely good wine.
Bronze: 15.25 to 16.75 – a good wine.
14 – 15 = Just acceptable. No specific wine making faults, but there will be better wines around.
< 14 Don't even bother.
Ultimately, it is still an objective opinion and the only true judge of wine is you.
