The Boudler-based "Beetle Book"
By Claire Martin
Boulder-based author Steve Jenkins creates a richly illustrated book about bugs
Boulder-based Steve Jenkins, whose cut-paper art won him a Caldecott Honor, has a new book on one of the Earth's most prolific creatures.
The stats include some that are a little unnerving if skittery six-legged critters give you the creeps.
Even if you don't much like beetles in real life — hey, I left Florida partly to escape cockroaches big enough to serve as passenger vehicles — it's impossible to deny that some of them are gorgeous, especially the rose chafer beetle (on the dust jacket, and page 8) and the aptly-named jewel beetle.
Jenkins' collection of arcane facts is addicting. The plumed antenna of a feather-horn beetle help it detect chemical messages; the spiky golden hairs on the African jewel beetle sense approaching predators.

One girl's honesty rewards a (very) patient village
'A Hen For Izzy Pippik,' written by Aubrey Davis, illustrated by Marine Lafrance
When Shaina finds a companionable but unfamiliar hen, she searches for the owner. All she finds is a crate that bears this legend: "Izzy Pippik Chickens And Eggs."
But Izzy Pippik doesn't live in her downtrodden town, so Shaina decides to keep the hen for him until he returns to collect it.
It's not easy in a town where food is scarce. She has to stop her parents from cooking the hen, then prevent them from eating the hen's eggs, and then discourage them from eating the chickens that hatch from those eggs. (A minor quibble is that nowhere in the story is the rooster who fertilizes the eggs of Izzy Pippik's runaway hen, allowing the hen's prolific progeny to populate the town.)

"Under Ground" reveals what's underfoot: Lots of surprises
"Under Ground" reveals a richly textured world
Just about every page in the fantastically textured book "Under Ground" could be framed and hung as art — the alert robin peering from a tree branch, the forest of carrot tops traversed by a striped bug, the bunny snacking on green shoots, even the wasps in their subterranean nest.
Artist Denise Fleming creates rich portraits with her pulp paintings – a paper-making technique that uses colored cotton fiber, hand-cut stencils and accents with pastel pencil and copy transfers (the latter involving micro-details like the "Bing Cherry" label hanging from a sapling).
Starting with what's literally a bird's eye view, the book digs down into the moist home of moles, ants, shrews and other ground-dwellers. Their dark world comes alive through Fleming's luminous artwork, revealing a complex network of tunnels, dens and nests. Under the stolid surface, life teems, opening new vistas for a child's imagination.
A "Creature identification" appendix offers notes on some of the underground inhabitants of this marvelous hidden world.

Patricia Polacco's "Bully" tackles thorny issue of cyber-bullying
When a popular clique targets new girl Lyla for revenge, how can she prove her innocence?
Lyla's worried about fitting in at her new school, but then Jamie, a fellow sixth-grader, warmly welcomes her. They become fast friends and, like budding sociologists, study the other students as they sort themselves into geeks, nerds, skaters, tough kids and the envied popular girls who carry color-coordinated cell phones.
The popular girls ignore Lyla until she makes the cheerleading team and wins an an award for having the school's highest grade point average. (Note to Polacco: I see what you did there, but having the highest GPA never was, and still isn't, the golden key to the cool kids' table, and your young readers will know that, too. But we forgive you.)
Her longtime friend Jamie, who is pudgy and decidedly unpopular, is disappointed to lose her, especially when she trades their Friday movie nights for makeover Fridays with the cool girls. Lyla re-evaluates when she sees the girls collaborating on vicious comments on classmates' Facebook pages, and distances herself from the cool girls. Then she's accused of cheating on an important test, but how can she prove she's a scapegoat?

In "Buddy," a boy's love for his dog expands his world in unpredictable ways
M.H. Herlong's "Buddy" is about the ties that bind a boy to his beloved dog
Li'l T, who lives in a (barely) pre-Katrina New Orleans, wants nothing more than a dog when a (more or less) happy accident plops a black and white stray practically into his lap. With some sacrifice on Li'l T's part, he finds a way around his family's objection that a dog is too expensive to keep. He names the dog Buddy, and is so fiercely possessive that he attacks other youngsters who mock Buddy's scruffy looks, and goes after his little sister when she surreptitiously gives Buddy a fashion makeover.
But then Katrina blows into town, forcing Li'l T and his family to evacuate without Buddy. Wracked by guilt, Li'l T agonizes over whether Buddy managed to survive the devastating storm. When Li'l T learns that a dog that looks like Buddy was rescued, he's confronted with a dilemma that tests his emotional and spiritual boundaries.

An orphaned Malawi girl teaches a motherless American how to find light in the dark
Shana Burg's "Laugh With the Moon" is an enchanting story about love, loss, family and friends.
Clare Silver, 13, finds herself in a remote part of Malawi, Africa, with her father (who works for a Doctors Without Borders sort of group), both of them still grieving the death of Clare's mother. (Is Disney paying attention?)
Resentful of being dragged along, by fits and starts Clare slowly comes around, thanks to the patient friendship of a Malawi orphan named Memory. (Author Shana Burg's sense of African names is dead on, with many characters sporting names that, in English, translate as adjectives.)
What saves "Laugh With the Moon" from being another white-kid-transformed-by-simple-natives story is the honesty of the writing, the fully-realized characters, and Burg's keen ear for dialogue and dialect. Burg spent time in Malawi, and it shows. So, yeah, while Clare does undergo the requisite transformation, as do many privileged people who are smart enough to keep their eyes open when they visit parts of the world more wealthy in community than material things, her transition feels organic.
"Laugh With the Moon" is a book that coaxes more smiles than tears, despite the grave burdens shouldered by its characters. It's affectionate and lovely.

In Ellen Hopkins' "Tilt" and "Triangles," colliding worlds of mothers and daughters
Where is the line between a lie and the truth? Does it depend on who's telling the story? Ellen Hopkins' incisive novel unflinchingly examines relationships.
Ellen Hopkins is a poet for readers who think they don't like poetry. Her previous YA novels in verse tackled tough subjects — drug addiction, teenage prostitution, coming out, accountability — and "Tilt," which looks at the ripple effects that parents' decisions add to the consequences of three teenagers' decisions, follows in that vein.
"Tilt" is forthright but not prurient about teenage sex — it happens — just as was "Triangles," a standalone companion novel in verse about the parents of the teens in "Tilt." One girl, sure she's escaped her mother's unlucky lot in love, is stunned at her paramour's response to the news that she's pregnant. Another girl finds herself drifting, almost but not quite inadvertently, from model student to the at-risk category. A boy wrestles with coming out and his first affair, and an impending loss that shatters his world.

America's first female firefighter (and she was black!)
[/media-credit] "Molly, By Golly!" is Dianne Ochiltree's charming picture book about Molly Williams, a servant who helped volunteer firefighter brothers stop a house fire during a blizzard
Molly Williams was the cook for a member of one of New York City's volunteer fire companies in the early 1800s, and became famous when she pitched in, helping the men battle fires.
Dianne Ochiltree's book compresses time and history to tell the dramatic story for which Williams is best known: A house fire erupted during a blizzard, and she joined the other volunteer firefighters, helping drag a pumper engine through the heavy snow. Strictly speaking, that wasn't her baptism by fire (sorry) — one historical record has Williams responding to a blaze in 1815, three years before the blizzard that inspired "Molly, By Golly!" But she did indeed go on to help fight fires for years.

Helping children understand life's final transition
[/media-credit] In "Zayde Comes To Live," a little girl finds learns how to help her aged grandfather as he struggles with his memory
The title "Zayde Comes to Live," the name of Sheri Sinkin's sensitive picture book about a grandfather in failing health, needs a qualifier. Yes, Zayde has come to live with Rachel's family; he also has come to die in their arms.
"No one says this, but I know from what they do not say," Rachel announces. Her grandfather, tethered to oxygen, watches Rachel and the rest of his limited world from a sleeper-chair. Rabbi Lev explains what will happen after Zayde's last breath: "His energy will live on with your ancestors in the World To Come, what we call the Olam Ha-Ba."
Luckily for Rachel, Zayde is gentle and mostly self-aware. His health fades like a rose dropping its pedals. (It would be a very different story if Zayde, like some grandfathers, no longer know who she was, or railed against his lot — realities for little girls whose grandfathers are treated less kindly by their dementia.)
What she learns from her Zayde is the importance of reeling in memories — the time he sewed his bridegroom son's ripped trousers, the snow angel he made with his granddaughter — and making new memories together in the waning days of his life.
"I Like Old Clothes" picture book embraces secondhand shopping

"I Like Old Clothes" by Mary Ann Hoberman, illustrations by Patrice Barton
In bouncy rhyme, the young narrator of this winsome picture book explains why she doesn't eschew a wardrobe with a history: "I don't say, 'What, those?'/ and turn up my nose/ The way some people do/ When their clothes aren't new."
She likes clothes "with a history, clothes with a mystery," and asks her togs, "Clothes, I wonder who wore you before you were mine?/ Was she light-haired or dark-haired, seven or nine?/ Did you make her look awful or make her look fine?"

Clement of Alexandria's date of birth is unknown, but his death is estimated to have been around the year 215 C.E. Clement's actual place of birth is also unconfirmed, although most assume that it was Athens, Greece. Most, if not all, of the facts of Clement's life are based on second-hand reports and thus practically nothing is actually known about it. Clement is considered one of the great early Greek theologians of the Catholic Church, and was a founder of the Catechetical School of Alexandria.[1] This was one of the first major theological schools of the Christian faith. The school focused on theology and comparative Biblical studies, and also founded the question-and-answer form of Biblical commentary.
Clementis Alexandrini Opera Graece et Latine Quae Extant is a complete collection of Clement of Alexandria's works. The most famous and influential writings attributed to him are referred to as the "great trilogy," which includes "The Tutor" (Paidagogos), "The Exhortation," and "Miscellanies" (Stromateis). These three works are said to represent a graduated initiation into the Christian life and philosophy. The works of Clement of Alexandria would be beneficial to anyone looking for insight into the great mysteries of man, nature, and virtue.[2]
Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Thomas Jefferson sold the Library of Congress a copy of the 1641 edition of Klēmentos Alexandreōs ta Euriskomena. In her work on Jefferson's books, Millicent Sowerby wrote "Jefferson may have obtained this with his inheritance from George Wythe; some of the notes appear to be in his hand."[3] Three of the Wythe Collection sources (Goodwin's pamphlet[4], Dean's Memo,[5] and Brown's Bibliography[6]) list the title based on Sowerby's designation of the volume as Wythe's. Clement of Alexandria is not listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library. Perhaps this was an oversight on Jefferson's part, or Wythe gave him the volume at another time. The Wolf Law Library followed the recommendations of Brown, Dean and Goodwin, and purchased a copy of the 1641 edition.
Description of the Wolf Law Library's copy
Finely bound in modern aniline calf over marble boards. Raised bands with a dark morocco gilt-blocked label. Spine compartments uniformly tooled in gilt. Title in red and black, head and tail pieces, capitals, and marginal notes. Purchased from MW Books Ltd.

Australia's Afterpay considers U.S. listing as 'buy now, pay later' takes off
Australian buy-now-pay-later company Afterpay said on Tuesday it is exploring a U.S. listing after North America became its biggest market, offering global investors an easier path to owning a stock that has boomed through the pandemic.
Afterpay has tapped Goldman Sachs to advise on the listing, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters. Goldman declined to comment.
The Melbourne-based firm was last valued at nearly A$37 billion ($28.7 billion) despite never having posted a profit, thanks to the coronavirus-driven surge in online shopping and rapid expansion in overseas markets including the United States.
Releasing its third-quarter results on Tuesday, Afterpay said North America sales had nearly tripled, overtaking Australia and helping to double the total value of transactions it processed to A$5.2 billion compared with a year earlier.
A U.S. listing would likely further open up the Australian fintech star to an investor base that lends greater weight toward growth, and also potentially provide easier access to capital to fund expansion plans.
Afterpay co-CEO Nick Molnar, who co-founded the company in 2015, told Reuters it was a "proud Australian-headquartered organisation" but a U.S. listing could provide "attractive opportunities".
"The prioritisation on exploring a U.S. listing is purely around does it provide the business more operating leverage from the perspective of being present in the market that is now the greatest contributing segment … and provide us the right investor base," he said.
Afterpay said in a statement it planned to remain headquartered in Australia, but did not specify if a U.S. market debut would be based on a dual-listing structure or result in it giving up its Australian berth. It also did not give a timeframe.
In North America Afterpay is pitted against Affirm (AFRM.O), Zip Co's (Z1P.AX) Quadpay, new entrant PayPal (PYPL.O) and Sweden's Klarna, which is valued at $31 billion and looking at a direct listing in the United States.
Affirm's $17 billion valuation was based on 4.5 million shoppers while Afterpay had 14.6 million, implying a valuation over $47 billion, said Emanuel Datt, founder of Datt Capital which bought Afterpay shares around A$7.00 in 2018.
"U.S. investors are generally willing to pay a higher multiple for a growth business like Afterpay. That is related to the deeper pools of capital that are available … relative to Australia," Datt said.
Shares of Afterpay were trading flat at A$126.17 by midsession on Tuesday, compared to a slight dip in the broader market (.AXJO). The stock is up more than 200% since its pre-pandemic high in Feb 2020.
Afterpay's growth has slowed in Australia and this year it will likely face margin pressure as the country's biggest bank (CBA.AX) and PayPal launch BNPL offerings with a promise of lower fees.
The company last month launched in parts of mainland Europe and plans to move into Asia. Its self-branded savings accounts linked to Westpac Banking Corp (WBC.AX) are expected to go live later this year.

Hydebank Wood College's entry 'a blooming construction' wins big
05/16/2016 What's NewPrison Arts
Inspiring Change in the Community – Hydebank Wood College's entry wins 'Best in Show' and 'Gold' awarded at the Garden Show Ireland 2016
Over 20 gardens were created especially for this year's Show, many with an edible theme, including the highly acclaimed Nourishment Garden created by design duo Michael and Rohanna Heyes who are owners of Flourish Garden Design, and Hydebank Wood College's award winning 'A blooming construction' whose imaginative design impressed the judges.
Prison Arts Foundation's Artist in Residence Anne Scullin initially got involved in the 'Garden Show Ireland' Project, when Governor Austin Treacy asked her to help out with the proposed entry for 2016. PAF were able to support the project through our Inspiring Change in the Community programme which is funded by the Arts Council NI. Although Anne said she was initially concerned that gardening was not her area of discipline, after talking with the Gardening Instructor at Hydebank, she felt the project would be both challenging and inspiring for the students, Hydebank staff and members of the public.
The theme and thinking behind the design of the garden was based on some of the workshops offered to students at Hydebank Wood College as part of their daily activities within the Learning & Skills Department. The workshops involved in the design and build of the garden included bricklaying, plumbing, joinery, recycling, painting and horticulture.
Anne Scullin, Artist in Residence said
"I wanted the garden to incorporate and highlight some of the methodologies and materials used within the workshop environment. After several meetings with the instructors, I drew up preliminary plans of the proposed ideas for the Garden Design. I had also wanted to bring a quirky element to the design. Each of the instructors offered advice and suggestions on limitations and restrictions within their areas, throughout the project. The Events Manager of Garden Show Ireland, Claire Faulkner, was extremely helpful and encouraging. Overall this project was a very rewarding experience and a great team effort.
Throughout the garden design there was a simple hard and soft theme flowing, which reflected on how basic materials from a builder's yard can be married with everyday garden produce, including fruit and vegetables to create a working garden design. One of the focal points of the garden was the large chair which amalgamated elements from some of the workshops. By uniting these workshops the whole team produced a garden that shows creativity, innovation and resourcefulness.
It took three days to build and construct the garden; the set-up was initially a bit daunting as the team were surrounded by fellow entrants who had teams of professional designers and landscapers working on their gardens. As the garden grew they became more confident and felt they had created something completely different to the others. Indeed it was this uniqueness that caught the judge's eye as they later informed them that it was very inspiring to see such a quirky garden design.
The team were delighted when they received both 'Best in Show' and a 'Gold Award' and were presented with a carved-wood inscribed sculpture by TV Professional Gardener, Monty Don. Many visitors to the Garden Show commented and praised the teams unique design and told them how inspired they were by the many different elements they had incorporated into their garden."

The décor breaks away from the clichéd interiors associated with Indian cuisine restaurants as it translates authentic Indian cuisine into a stylish, contemporary setting with warm and one on one service. On the menu are dishes from North India – recipes from the Mughal courts, the walled city of Delhi, the cuisine of the Nawabs of Lucknow, the pulsating zests of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh and the scrumptious cuisine of Kashmir. As you begin to wait for your food to arrive a good idea is to dig into the papads and variety of chutneys on the table. For starters, Executive Chef Sandeep Kalra highly recommends the 'Galouti Kabab' on 'Peshawari Naan', a perfect blend of aromatic and robust spices, done to perfection. Vegetarians too have a sizable choice with 'Hara Kabab', 'Tandoori Soy Malai Tikka' and would love the 'Dahi Ke Kabab', which is homemade yoghurt hung in muslin, spices and rolled as patties, filled with tomato relish. The mixed breads in a basket are a sensible option for variety, and just the thing to wipe the savoury curry gravy off your plates and especially go well with the 'Lal Maas' and 'Murgh Begum Pasanda. Your meal remains incomplete without a heavenly helping of the dessert offered, try the 'Gulab Jamun Jalebi' and 'Kulfi'! The dishes here are a fry cry from the usual butter, and ghee-laden food one associates Indian cuisine with.
So where do you go to for your once-in-a-while curry fix? Every hot blooded Indian foodie has at least one good North-Indian eatery in their kitty, which brings them home in style. Where do you go to for a piping hot bowl of spicy creamy curry to dunk your flaky buttery naan in? If you are on lookout for a can't-beat-that recommendation, then you have finally come to the right place. We will take you to this spectacular dining spot that is tremendously popular in the gastronomy circuit for its mind-blowing curries. Drive down to Trident hotel, Gurgaon this weekend and head over to their curry joyride 'Saffron', a fine dining experience that refines this wonderful cuisine. Saffron is Trident's glorified North-Indian restaurant excelling in traditional recipes handpicked from all over the country and prepared authentically.

Sydney is especially good for people who want their wedding to have a nice view and who like exotic surroundings. In this article we are going to list some of the most popular places for saying "I do" in this magnificent city.
Although not a lot of people choose this option because of so many nice outdoor locations in the city, a chapel wedding is definitely on of the most common wedding ceremonies that are being held in the city. Although Sydney is not very old, it still has some nice churches that look as pretty and historic as the ones in Europe. One of the biggest and the most beautiful ones is St. Mary Cathedral in Central Sydney.
Sydney is a very diverse and multicultural city which means you are able to try all kinds of different food from around the planet. It has some of the best Chinese and Italian restaurants in the world and some of them come with a breathtaking view- perfect for a wedding ceremony. Restaurants with the best view are located in the Rock district in the oldest part of town.
Sydney has some of the nicest and most exotic parks in this part of the world. It is one of the greenest cities on the planet and its residents are very proud of that fact. Parks are great places for a wedding ceremony. You are going to be surrounded with exotic trees and plants. In addition, some of the parks also come with a great view of city's most popular tourist sights like Opera House or Harbour Bridge. Park weddings can be held without any government permission for ceremonies with less than 50 guests. Some of the best parks for wedding ceremonies are: Royal Botanic Gardens, Centennial Parklands, Observatory Hill Park etc.
Beaches are one of the most popular outdoor wedding venues in Sydney. This city really has a lot to offer to couples who would like to listen to the ocean waves while reading their marriage vows. The biggest and the most popular beach in Sydney is Bondi, but there are a lot of more secluded beaches, that offer plenty of shade and have nearby restaurants for the reception after the ceremony. Some of the most popular beaches for weddings are: Manly Beach, Shelly Beach, Long Reef Beach etc.
Sydney has a lot of other places that offer nice views and romantic atmosphere. One of the popular wedding venues that doesn't fall into any of the above listed categories is the Sydney University Campground as well as the Vaucluse House, which is a historical house located in the Eastern suburbs of the city.
No matter which one of these places you choose, exotic surroundings and romantic atmosphere of this city is something you are going to remember for the rest of your life.

Review: Memoirs of a Revolutionary – by Victor Serge
January 12, 2018djwezg No Comment
This is one of the most remarkable books I have ever read, a first witness account of some of the most important world events of the first half of the twentieth century, a rich period for revolutionary events and the author, Victor Serge, a Belgian born Russian, is perfectly poised to give detailed personal encounters with many of the key protagonists. Serge is a revolutionary, who participates in the Russian Revolution from 1919 as a core Bolshevik. He meets and works with Lenin and Trotsky and his European roots make him critical to the emerging infrastructure of Soviet Russia. Serge writes often with a critical frankness of the core movements of which he is part, a fact that later endangers him as (correctly identified by the author) the Revolution seeps into Totalitarianism, culminating in the great Stalinist Purges of the 1930s. Initially the book flirts with the rising tide of working class socialism in Western Europe. Paris is a hotbed for leading international figures of the Left. Later, in Barcelona, Serge makes key contacts that will come into fruition for his analyses of the Spanish Civil War. From there he embarks for his never seen before motherland (his family were anti-Tsarist exiles). The post 1917 revolution is enduring its honeymoon, yet the whole survival of the Bolsheviks comes within a blink of an eye as the Civil War almost leads to their destruction in Petrograd as the Whites make gains. Serge, as he moves up the ranks, rapidly becomes disillusioned with the turn that the Revolution is taking. He warns against the Cheka and GPU. He is a peaceful man and holds onto the non-violent tenets of socialism. Later, when the party splits – Serge is a key figure in the alliance against the Party Centre and Politburo, which culminates in his expulsion from the Party and exile in Orenburg. His suffering in prison shows how lucky he was to retain his life, in a period where the executioner's bullet was only ever a step away and was freely used. Serge's fame as an author, especially in France, managed, through international outcry, to keep him and his young family away from the true harshness of life as an exile and ultimately secured his freedom back to Western Europe. The outbreak of world war was predicted by this great political visionary. His tracts against Stalinism often made him an enemy of…

Review: Catalonia Since The Spanish Civil War – Reconstructing the Nation – by Andrew Dowling
December 12, 2017djwezg No Comment
This book focuses on the study of the important Spanish region of Catalonia in the modern age. Catalonia has a strong claim to being an independent state, dating back to its time as the Kingdom of Aragon. There is a unique Catalan language and the region has a culture of its own, independent to that of the main Castilian Spanish national one. In wake of recent events in Catalonia, that occurred after this book was released, this book becomes ever more important to study in order for us to fully understand the political processes that are now occurring in Catalonia and their causes. Catalonia was a key thorn in the foot of Franco and the Nationalists during the Spanish Civil War and during the ensuing Franco dictatorship, he never forgot the Catalan betrayal. Inherent to Francoism was oppression of regionalist identities within Spain. Under Franco, Catalanism went underground. There was suppression of the language and I found it strange how the main thrust of survival of Catalanism was to found within the Catholic church, an institution that, in particular, during the Spanish Civil War, encountered a fierce enemy in the Catalan people and experienced one of the most excessive repressions of the church by any area during its history, with many churches burnt and priests killed. Catalan liturgies and church literature ensured the survival of the language and the culture was empowered by Vatican support. Montserrat and its role in society in terms of Catalan national identity became intertwined. In the post-Franco era, there has been a resurgence in Catalanism. A degree of autonomy has been granted and widespread recovery of culture has developed, with Catalan being taught again and used in schools and an alternative centre of power to the central Madrid government has emerged in the Generalitat, its key figure in its foundation being long term president, Jordi Pujol. In the modern age, immigration of initially non-Catalan speakers from other areas of Spain, and then non-Spaniards, has created issues for integration within wider Catalan society. Catalonia is a powerful and wealthy industrial region that gives away about 10% of its GDP to Madrid with no return. Politically it tends to lean towards bourgeois values although working class organisation and unionisation has played an important role. There has been an ongoing rally for votes within Catalan politics between middle-right Nationalists and Socialists / Communists. The book's epilogue explores the…

Adieu Liverpool Lu!
August 2, 2014GerrardTheRed No Comment
Well, it was just one summer of speculation too far… After a cracking year of retained services at Liverpool we finally lost our talismanic striker, Luis Suarez, to the grandeur of the Catalan giants, Barcelona. It was a difficult summer… What with the failure of the homegrown boys to get anywhere in the tournament, Luis went for one bite more than he could chew….AGAIN. His behaviour brought shame to our club for not the first time, even though his bite on the Italian, Giorgio Chiellini, was committed in his national colours of Uruguay. He was facing a lengthy ban from not just international football but would have been absent for the first few months of our domestic season. After his early World Cup bath, he started to chew on some humble pie, apologising for the shameful incident, just enough for his proposed move to Barca to go through… With all the release clause details having been clarified when he signed a new contract last year, all Barca had to do was come in with the necessary coin. Luis parted company with Liverpool to the tune of £75 million, netting us just over £50 million in profit. I was hoping he'd stay on, especially as we now have the desired Champions League football that Luis himself so desired. His goals last year were special and I cannot see how anyone can bag so many from such a varied amount of positions. He was an individual player and I feel he was 'on the rise' so to speak, as a professional world-beating striker…. in Liverpool colours. In four seasons at Liverpool he bagged 69 goals in 110 appearances, a strong record, making him among our most prolific ever goal-scorers. As much as I wanted him to stay, I can see exactly why Brendan Rodgers has moved on and got rid. Luis' behaviour does no good to the reputation of Liverpool. one bad incident is provocative enough but it is clear from experience that Luis has issues which make him a liability. Could we afford the repercussions of his next misdemeanour? Is it possible to reach the heights of a football club when your star player is banned for several months each season? It could be argued that were last season's ban not in place we would have won the league comfortably. Close season after close season of transfer speculation is just too…

The Amakhala Foundation: empowering communities, conserving our environment
The Amakhala Foundation is home to the community and conservation projects of the Amakhala Game Reserve, as well as the educational projects of the Conservation Centre. It was established in 2009 to coincide with the Reserve's 10th anniversary, and is overseen by a Trust with five members.
The Foundation is funded by outside donor bodies as well as through the payment of bed levies from Amakhala's commercial lodges.
The Amakhala Foundation focuses on the following projects:
The Foundation's Environmental Education programme aims to cultivate an understanding and love of nature in the children who visit the Amakhala Conservation Centre (ACC), thus increasing awareness and concern so that future generations can enjoy our natural habitats.
Local primary school children attend education days at the ACC, notably during National Water Week in March, on World Environment Day in June, and during Arbor Week in September. High school pupils are sponsored to enjoy a day of learning about habitats and ecosystems as well as experiencing the animals in their natural environment while on a game drive. A partnership with Coaching for Conservation also sees numerous 10 year olds learning about rhino while playing soccer. University students benefit educationally by visiting the Centre and conduct specialised research projects within the reserve. Each year, close to 2000 people, young and old, are able to connect with nature through these different programmes.
University students from Rhodes University and NMU have the opportunity to run selected research projects on the Reserve.
Craft Centre
Unemployed members of the local community are given an opportunity to generate income through our Craft Centre, where beaded articles, sewing items and printed items are sold.Beaded rhino medals are lovingly produced each year for a Rhino Run organised in the USA by Texas Christian University. The beaded items are made by a group of local women working from their homes, while the sewing is done on site by a woman who operates her own small business within the Centre.
Beaded bracelets made by the teenagers of the Isipho Project in nearby Paterson are also sold here. One-quarter of the sale price of the bracelets goes to a bursary fund to assist one or more of these teenagers with some tertiary education after leaving school. Duduzile Dumana is the first recipient of this bursary and recently graduated with a diploma in Journalism at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elizabeth.
Guests and members of the public may visit the Craft Centre during the week to purchase articles and meet Feziwe, the co-ordinator.
Isipho Charity Trust
The Isipho Charity Trust is an independent charity operating through a Centre in the nearby town of Paterson. It supports over 300 children through 2 preschool classes, an after-care programme, feeding scheme, materials support for schooling, and psycho-social support. It also provides much-needed HIV/AIDS education in the local community.
Amakhala has been part of Isipho's development almost from the outset: assisting with food parcels, raising half the funding required for the Isipho Charity Trust to buy its own property, and giving time and expertise through the services of two Amakhala members that serve on the Isipho Board.
The Amakhala Volunteer programme also makes a valuable contribution to this organization by providing manpower to assist with general maintenance of the property, the after-care programme and the running of computer classes, as well as beading afternoons.
Staff members have been put through various in-house training programmes on an ongoing basis, to enable them to take on new positions and responsibilities. Staff are involved in Hospitality/Guiding Learnerships, leadership, parenting and financial skills training.
Young children of staff families have access to a bursary for the nearby local school, ensuring that the children can live at home and attend school until they are 10 years old. The Amakhala Foundation also provides funding for one small preschool –known as iJosi, and plans are afoot to open a second preschool.
2014: Runner up in the "Skills for Sustainability Award Category" in the Mail & Guardian 2014 Greening the Future Awards.
2012: Amakhala Foundation listed as a finalist in the category of "Best Social Involvement" for an Umvelo Award and as a finalist for a Virgin Holidays Responsible Tourism Award.
2011: The Conservation Centre nominated as a finalist for a Kudu Award, for the environmental education programme that it runs.
2008: At the Kudu Award Ceremony; an annual SANParks event in Pretoria, the ACC was presented with an Environmental Education/Capacity Building Merit Award for its commitment to conservation through educational programmes which are aimed at imparting knowledge and skills to enhance the understanding of the environment.

Over the next 4-5 years, the US and Australia are expected to commission 60 MTPA of LNG terminals.
Falling LNG prices to revive prospects of stressed power units
2 min read . Updated: 26 Jun 2019, 07:47 PM IST PTI
Crisil expects spot LNG prices to trend lower in 2019, averaging $5-6 per mmbtu
Government plans to waive off customs duty of 2.57% as well as bring natural gas under the GST regime (lower rate at 5% as compared to 15-20% VAT at present)
LNGPowerEnergy
MUMBAI : Falling spot prices of liquefied natural gas (LNG) makes this an opportune time for revival of stressed gas-based power assets in the country, the report said.
LNG prices are currently at $5 per million metric British thermal unit (mmbtu), down from a peak of $10 per mmbtu as recently as November 2018.
"The decline has been due to increasing supply in global markets from newly commissioned projects in Australia and the US. Moreover, a few of the liquefaction capacities in US and Australia became operational in the last quarter of fiscal 2019, putting downward pressure on spot LNG prices," the rating agency Crisil said.
The rating agency expects spot LNG prices to trend lower in 2019, averaging $5-6 per mmbtu. Beyond this year, prices could increase slightly to $6-7 per mmbtu, as the demand in winter season improves.
Additionally, the government plans to waive off customs duty of 2.57% as well as bring natural gas under the GST regime (lower rate at 5% as compared to 15-20% VAT at present).
"This will reduce the delivered cost of LNG further, reducing the cost of generation for power plants," Crisil said.
Over the next 4-5 years, the US and Australia are expected to commission 60 MTPA of LNG terminals. This is expected to shore up LNG supply, keeping prices under pressure at $5-7 per mmbtu over the medium term.
"The key reason India has not used LNG extensively for power generation so far is the high cost involved. Higher prices of LNG made the power generated through this route far more expensive compared with conventional sources, deterring offtake by power distribution companies (discoms)," it said.
As per the report of Parliamentary Committee on Energy, nearly 14 GW of gas based capacity is stranded due to lack of domestic gas, of which 11 GW is operational and generating on an intermittent basis, resulting in low average plant load factor (PLF) of 24% as of fiscal 2019.
Of this 11 GW operational capacity, 2 GW is owned by the central sector and 2.7 GW by Gujarat (1.9 GW) and Delhi (750 MW), which can be supported by the Central government or the respective state governments.
The remaining 6.6 GW capacity, which is in private hands, is in dire need of support, and can be revived using imported spot LNG.
Crisil further said that to make matters worse, the cost of power generation through renewable sources has dropped significantly in the last 3-4 years, posing stiff competition to gas-based power.
It further said the phase II of aggregated thermal power procurement from coal-based power plants, concluded recently, saw discovered tariffs of ₹4.41 per kWh, which can be matched by gas-based power plants using spot LNG even without subsidy on variable cost basis.
However, the plants were unable to utilise the allocated quantity of gas due to issues such as the discovered tariffs being lower than the cost of generation, non- cooperation of some states in providing exemptions in taxes and duties, and the reluctance of states to buy high-priced gas-based power.


Emerald Isle Club members get to know each other at the monthly social (PHlockings) gatherings and through volunteering with one of our club activities. Established in 2002, the EIPHC is a non-profit organization that assists locally to help better the community and environment. In 2015, the EIPHC raised over $17,500 in support of local charities and nonprofit organizations.

Story of a Genius
"I believe that the justification of art is the internal combustion it ignites in the hearts of men and not its shallow, externalized, public manifestations. The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenalin but is, rather, the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity."

uenced my painting. Aesthetically, I love to stand far away from reality in order to recreate a reality that takes reality by surprise. I am fascinated by play for I believe that only in play is our true nature revealed.
Year after Year, I have been exploring this universal theme, which, like art, cuts across the boundaries of culture and language.

Home Camping Does a six-week outback trip make you a grey nomad
Does a six-week outback trip make you a grey nomad
Bobwords June 22, 2018 June 22, 2018 Camping, Travel
(No 1 in a series of six)
The last thing packed into the 12ft caravan we call The Tardis was a heavy duty doona, an essential item considering we're heading west, to Charleville and beyond. Night temperatures out west at this time of year vary from -2 to 6 degrees. The days will be beautiful, though – sunny and still. I'm looking forward to the blazing starry nights.
The ubiquitous Grey Nomads, many of them temporarily migrated from Victoria, have Queensland all worked out. In the spirit of the Canadian 'Snow Birds', who winter over in New Mexico and Arizona, they are escaping the unforgiving cold of places like Ballarat, Bendigo and Melbourne for the stable sunny climes of west and north Queensland.
Likewise, Queenslanders tend to head south and west when the seriously humid part of summer starts.
The first thing you find when trying to research this elusive subject is that reliable data on grey nomads is hard to find.
A Sydney Morning Herald report last year surmised that grey nomad numbers had doubled in the previous three years. The latest official Tourism Research Australia figures show that caravan and camping nights are up 13 per cent on the previous year, to 11.78 million nights.
A more reliable way to get a sense of potential grey nomad numbers is to look at caravan and camper van registrations. They totalled almost 500,000 in 2017. Caravans led the way by a long margin (450,564), with 47,775 camper vans. States with the most registered caravans were Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales, each in six figures. NSW led Queensland and Victoria in camper van registrations.
Of course, these figures do not suggest that all of these vans are on Australian roads every day of the year. As caravan owners know too well, these expensive bedrooms on wheels sit in garages and carports 80% of the time. As many of you know, the old Coromal or Windsor van that has 'done the lap' twice is now sitting out the back, semi-permanent accommodation for a family member. It could be the adult son (between share houses), the adult daughter (between marriages) or Mum, who can still live by herself but needs a loved one checking in quite often.
Nevertheless, the call of the wild still drives tens of thousands of Aussies around the eastern seaboard or trekking across the outback. All they need is a reliable person to mind the house and pets (or take the pets with them). Or they may have sold the house to fund the road rig.
Research by Professor Jenny Onyx of University of Technology Sydney cited an estimate by the Bureau of Tourism Research that in a single year Australian retirees undertook 200,000 caravan trips of six weeks' duration or more. The same source speculated that these numbers were set to increase greatly as more baby boomers retire.
Let's be clear about the term Grey Nomad – it means a person of at least 60 years of age, retired and often pursuing domestic travel as a way of life. While the size of some caravans and road rigs would cause you to think otherwise, the demographic is not wealthy, often eking out stays in free camps waiting for the next pension payment.
Prof. Onyx also did research on the North American phenomenon known as 'Snow Birds' – North Americans who choose to winter in warmer American states like Arizona, New Mexico and Florida.
Prof. Onyx says that 220,000 retirees moved to Phoenix Arizona in the winter of 1993-1994, of which one third lived in what North Americans call RV Parks (dedicated resorts for recreational vehicles). All of which is a long way from the Aussie grey nomad, camped down by a billabong with a solar panel, a portaloo and/or a generator.
PhD student Rod Caldicott from Southern Cross University identified a growing problem for caravanners who stay on the road for extended periods. He said that while there was a 257% increase in caravan registrations between 1995 and 2005, the short and long-term capacity of caravan parks was on the decrease. Caldicott chose Tweed Shire for a case study, concluding that tent sites in the shire's 27 tourist parks had declined by 64% since the 1970s and the number of ensuite cabins correspondingly increased. Annual caravan sites have fallen 12% between 1970 and 2010.
The advent of fly-in fly-out workers has increased demand for permanent and semi-permanent accommodation.
It's not unusual to stay at an outback caravan park and find the washing lines full of overalls and high-vis vests.
There are a few unwritten rules if you are going to be on the road with a caravan for months at a time. The first of these is to take a break from driving every two hours. And the driving ought to be shared. It's hard work.
The next rule is to set a constant speed – 90kmh is good, and keep a steady eye on the road behind you.
Extendable side mirrors are good, but a CB radio is better. Paint your UHF channel on the back of the van so the road train that's following can call in: "10-4 Ned & Mary, B-triple right behind you and about to pass."
SMH writer Sue Williams raised the common conflict between grey nomads (who seem to prefer 70kmh) and the road trains on freight deadlines. She quoted truck driver and Pilbara Heavy Haulage Girls trucking company boss Heather Jones.
Jones says she was driving a triple road train with a 70-tonne load along a highway when she came up behind a grey nomad caravan that drove at 30km/h, then 80km/h, then 30km/h. Then it stopped dead.
"It turned out they'd stopped to take a photo of a Sturt's desert pea flower," she says. "But they seemed to have no idea that a massive truck was behind them that takes a while to stop."
Our photograph this week, which I've used before, shows our road rig next to a cattle road train. It does make you think.
We were in an auto electrician's shop recently having a new car aerial fitted to the Ford Territory (this is a virtue signal to show we have upgraded from the green wagon in the photo). While chatting to the young fellow who fitted the new aerial, the conversation fell to reversing cameras. The Ford has one, but it's not much use once the van is hooked up. It turns out we could buy a monitoring camera for the caravan as well. This means you could have as good a view of the road behind as the road ahead.
Or we could do what most Grey Nomads do. The husband (usually) starts backing the rig into the designated camping site. The wife (usually), stands at the back and waves her arms to indicate keep coming, keep coming, and stop! (I prefer 'left hand down', 'right hand down' etc in dulcet tones while conversing through the open car window- 'the wife') We're looking forward to this jaunt – west to Charleville, then north to Winton, Hughenden and on then to Coastal north Queensland before turning for home via Townsville (go the Cowboys!) and points South. We have star-gazing, the Winton film festival, national parks, hiking, bird watching and an ongoing scrabble tournament on our to-do list.
Somewhere along the way, we'll do what all travellers should do – schedule do-nothing days. Throw the laundry in a commercial washing machine and assign the husband to peg it out when the time comes. Sit out in the sun and read a book; take a nanna nap…
This would be the day when hubby cooks dinner, right?
