Repairing Rotten Joist Ends
*Not a tutorial, just info on what we did. Please always get advice before carrying out your own building work*
Okay so, mega confession. One of the reasons I stopped blogging for so long was because I managed to delete ALL the renovation photos off my phone from January till about April. That included some of the most exciting stuff - the arrival of our new kitchen, all the painting, the last of the tiling, as well as the biggest DIY we've taken to date - repairing the rotten joists. I was freaking heartbroken. The only saving grace was that I didn't lose any our holiday snaps on our trip to Venice taken at the beginning of January. How it happened, I honestly don't know. I uploaded all the photos to my mac, deleted all the photos from my phone after uploading and they were gone, from both. Even though I had manually uploaded them! I believe the pesky iCloud system had something to do with it and I've spent hours researching and trying to get them back, to no avail (yes, I checked the recently deleted folder!). Not having photo memories of this part of our renovation is hugely frustrating, but not being able to create a proper blog post is even more frustrating. So frustrating that I haven't blogged since. How do I explain this DIY without photos to accompany it? If only I had whipped out the big camera and not used my phone. ARGH.
So I'm going to try and explain this with very few photos. Luckily I uploaded a couple to Instagram and Facebook and Grant took a couple too, so we'll have to roll with those - but the rest... They're long gone. :( So bare with me and this giant shit-storm of text, but I felt like I really couldn't just skip past without writing about this part of the renovation.
So let's start at the beginning - We kind of knew the joists in the dining room were going to be problematic - the floor was almost bouncy and the ceiling of the basement physically moved as people walked the floor of the dining room above. The floorboards however were in good condition, so it could really only mean the joists were the cause. We investigated further and found the ends of the joists, which are in-bedded into the walls were crumbling away. Moisture from the walls and basement beneath had literally rotted the ends away. So badly on some of them, that it was a wonder the joists hadn't just fallen down!
There's lots of different methods for repairing or replacing rotten joists, but the one we decided to go with was to install wall plate. Basically, the idea is to cut the ends off and affix a new piece of timber to the wall. Joist hangers are then attached to both the wall plate and joists and voila, you have no rot, but a nice properly supported floor. The end goal looks a little something like this...
This method is only suitable if it's just the ends of the joists that are rotten. If the rot had spread further onto the joist then we certainly couldn't have used this method and potentially the whole joist would have had to be replaced, or we'd needed to have bolted a new piece of timber along side it to strengthen it. But luckily for us, it was just the ends that were rotten. So, this is what we did.
Part 1 - Supporting the Floor
So the first thing we had to do was support whole floor so that it didn't totally collapse during work. This was probably the scariest part, because we've never used acro-props before and if we were to set it up wrong, it would be game over. Since our dining room is so large, we repaired the joists in two parts, splitting the room in half. So basically, tackling 6 joists at a time. It means we could use two smaller pieces of timber for the wall plate, rather than one giant 5m length that would have been very awkward and difficult to manoeuvre. And it also meant less weight on the acro-props.
As I said before, we have a basement underneath our dining room - so that's where we set the props up, using a piece of scaffold board across the ceiling and joists. These were hired from Jewsons. Here's Grant modelling it out for you ;)
Part 2 - Cutting off the Rotten Ends
Once the props were all set up, we then removed some of the ceiling/lath and plaster, so that we had a proper un-obstructed working area. Grant then set about cutting the ends of the joists off, making sure to take enough off to be able to slot the new timber wall plate in as well. He actually had to do this with a handsaw because we didn't have any power tools that could get close enough to the wall. With 6 very thick joists to get through, this did take a little bit of time and muscle - hence why I left Grant to it ;)
Part 3 - Repairing Brickwork
This wasn't really planned, but it turned out some of the brickwork was absolutely shockingly loose. As in, the bricks were coming away from the wall. We needed strong, properly secured bricks to be able to hang the new wall plate from, so this meant re-bricking a lot of the wall. The worst section was where the old wall had been knocked down between the dining room and kitchen - these bricks underneath that opening. I ended up re-bricking three layers of bricks, two bricks deep. It was a long job that went on until around 2am in the morning. I had re-bricked part of our chimney last year as well as making a DIY fire-pit from bricks and a DIY raised bed, so luckily I've had plenty of practice and Grant got to rest his aching arm muscles. Well, just a little - I still make him mix up mortar for me!
Part 4 - Preparing the New Wall Plate
The timber we're using for the wall plate is C24 Treated Timber. C24 is a grading for its strength and being treated makes it suitable for use in wet/damp/humid/exterior areas. The timber we selected is as close of a match to the joist sizes that we could find, purchased from a local timber merchants. We had a bit of help from a structural engineer online in clarifying the sizes that would be okay! It's really really important to use graded timber and not just any old cheap stuff - this is a structural job remember. Despite the timber being treated, it doesn't mean it can't rot if it's in direct contact with water, so to make sure it doesn't rot (especially considering it will be held directly against our basement walls) - we've wrapped the back and sides of the timber wall plate in a Damp Proof Membrane (here) secured with Galvanised Clout Nails (found here) along the edges (these won't rust!). I'm afraid this is an after-shot, but hopefully you can see how it's attached.
Part 5 - Drilling Holes
Once that was done, we could then begin planning how we would attach it the wall. We held the timber against the wall where it would be secured (obviously making sure it was level!) and marked out two holes onto the timber between each joist in a kind of jig jag formation. We drilled these holes out through the timber and then marked the same holes out onto the wall before drilling them as well (of course, making sure the brickwork had properly set first!). We used an M10 drill bit (M10 is a weird measurement of "not quite" 10mm) and drilled around 6cm deep into the wall.
Part 6 - Cutting Rods
The way in which we're securing the timber to the wall is with some M10 rods and some super strength chemical resin. It sounds a tad dubious, but resin is seriously strong stuff when used properly and everything I had researched agreed this was the proper method. The rods come in different sizes and these indicate different strength loads they can take - we're using M10 rods with a total of 2 rods between each joist - and this should be more than enough.
The rods we bought were 30cm long which was waaaayy to big, but they can be easily cut down with an angle grinder. The one we're using is borrowed but we did buy some new blades to use with it. Here's a snapshot of a video I uploaded to Facebook. I actually do not recommend knees as a suitable vice. AT ALL.
We cut our rods down to around 17cm - this allows for 6cm in the wall, a further 4cm going through the timber, and then enough to room to fit bolts over the top.
Part 7 - Cleaning the Holes
Chemical resin only works properly if the area in which it is used is completely free of dust. Completely. In a long narrow hole this is easier said than done, but we used 3 different methods to make sure we really cleaned it out properly.
So the first thing we used was a makeshift vacuum attachment - which was basically a straw attached to the end of the hoover. This was the least successful method but we did it anyway. Secondly, we used an air duster which was hugely successful. You need to make sure you start at the very back of the hole and pull the air duster out slowly as you spray it.
Then thirdly, we purchased a hole cleaning brush (purchased from here) which we twizzled around in the hole to make sure any dust that was still yet to fall from the brick was properly cleaned off. After this final step, we went back and did the first and second step again to be 100% on the safe side that there was no dust in the holes.
Part 8 - Injecting the Resin
Ideally in a building-from-scratch environment, you would attach the rods to the wall first and then slot the timber wall plate over them and into place. However because we're retro-fitting ours, the joists are already in place sandwiched right up against the wall plate, meaning there isn't the room to slot the timber over the rods. So instead we had to position the wall plate in its place, temporarily drops the rods into the holes without fixings so that it could be hold itself in place and then take one rod out at a time and inject the resin through the timber wall plate. Am I making sense?
The resin requires a special gun (found here) and because we're going through the thickness of the wall plate as well, we had to make our own makeshift extra-long nozzle to be able to reach the back of the hole. The nozzles can be bought separately (from here), so we basically secured two together with super glue. It sounds a bit dubious (you don't want the extra nozzle coming off into the hole!!) but it actually worked really well!
To inject the resin, it's vital there's no air pockets in the hole, so you really need to push the gun right to the back of the hole, pull the trigger and pull the gun out very very slowly. There's a guide online that tells you how much resin will fill a hole of a certain depth/width (and there's a very handy measure on the side of the bottle!). Once we could see the resin flowing out the hole, we knew we were good to go and the rod can be inserted back into the hole, making sure to give it a bit of a hammer so it goes all the way too the back. We repeated this for each hole.
Part 9 - Bolting the Wall Plate
Once the resin had fully dried (and only when it has dried!) we could then affix the bolts. We're using square galvanised washers to give a good tight pull between the wall plate and rods and then attached M10 bolts over the top.
Part 10 - Affixing Joist Hangers
The last step was to affix the joist hangers. We did this using galvanised twist nails, which are super super tough and their twisted nature make them almost impossible to get out. The other benefit of using these over screws is that screw-heads can often be sheared off, where-as these can't. We popped a nail into each hole of the hangers - which by the way, were a right old nightmare to find! Nowadays joists are standard size, so the usual supply of hangers are a set size. But because we're affixing these to very old non-standard sizes, it was somewhat difficult to stumble across the right hanger for our thick joists. Thankfully a structural engineer on Instagram pointed us to the right place to find them (THANK YOU!) which were these ones from Metrofixings.co.uk but the hangers with delivery was just a tad pricey!
Part 11 - Moment of Truth
So eventually, the last step was to remove the acroprops and hope it didn't come crashing down. It didn't. There's no longer ANY bounce in the floor whatsoever and in fact, it feels a whole lot stronger than it ever did before! The ceiling in the basement no longer goes up and down whilst its being walked on and we can rest assured if we have any wild parties in the future, we won't all end up on the floor in the basement! ;) We then repeated this whole process on the other half of the room - although luckily I didn't have to re-brick so many bricks this time around ;)
This was something we'd been dreading doing for some time, but surprisingly it really wasn't as difficult as we had imaged. We were however still SO glad to have got it over and done with - especially since it was the last big job before we could finish adding the last tiles ontop of the floor and then onto kitchen fitting!
So that's it! I apologise again for the lack of on-the-job photos here. I'd taken so many as well to make sure I could document it really well - but hey ho, life goes on and hopefully you can still make sense of this post! As always here's a breakdown of the costs. It certainly wasn't the cheapest DIY, but it was completely necessary. If was to do this again, I would definitely shop around more for smaller (non-bulk!) bags of fixings, but annoyingly even when just a few quid, these thing just end up adding up real fast!

Make waves wearing this chic juniors' SO bandeau bikini top.
Women's Croft & Barrow® Embossed Terry Zip Robe
Featuring a lightweight terry construction with moisture-wicking properties, this women's Croft & Barrow robe is a cozy must-have.
There's never been a better time to be a fan of the Chicago Cubs. Since their historic World Series win in 2016 (the first since 1908), Cubbies fans have had plenty to talk about. To best enjoy the experience, here are a few things to know before going to a Cubs game.
1. Catch Up on All Their Nicknames
There are many other common nicknames that locals love to use, including Cubbies, North Siders, North Side Nine, Boys in Blue, and Baby Bears. These are all affectionate nicknames for the Chicago team. North Siders refers to where Wrigley Field lies within the city, and Boys in Blue references the color of the uniforms. But one thing is for sure since their World Series win, the term "Lovable Losers" is retired!
2. Fly the "W"
Anyone who's ever watched a game at Wrigley Field has probably seen the white flags with a blue "W" and wondered about the meaning. In the early days of the team, a flag was flown after a game with either a "W" or an "L" to announce the outcome. In those days, the "W" was a blue flag with a white letter, but this was later switched to make the winning flag match the uniforms. Today, fans fly the "W" at games to cheer their team to a win.
3. Learn the Song
Written in 1984, the song "Go Cubs Go" is a fan favorite, and the crowd sings the refrain loudly after every victory. It's a catchy, upbeat song, ending with the phrase, "Hey Chicago, what'd'ya say? The Cubs are gonna win today." It won't take long to catch on, so be sure to sing along with the fans to get the most of your experience.
4. Don't Wear White Sox or Cardinals Colors
Every sports team has its rivalries, and the Cubs are no different. Try to avoid wearing the colors of fellow Chi-towners, the White Sox, or divisional rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals. Cubs fans are known for being passionate (they endured the longest losing streak in baseball history), so wearing one of those jerseys at a Cubs game is sure to elicit a few unhappy remarks.
5. Having a Party? Try a Rooftop
No, fans shouldn't try to climb nearby buildings to get a good view of the game. Wrigleyville has a number of luxurious rooftop suites available for groups. Whether someone is looking for just one Wrigley Rooftop ticket or two hundred, these suites offer a full-service experience. Guests will enjoy catered food and beverages, exclusive views of the field, and no worries about the weather (or at least a comfortable place to wait out a rain delay).
With these tips, anyone can enjoy the Cubs game. So, score a Wrigley rooftop ticket and fly the "W" as the Boys in Blue swing into the next inning.

The association was established by representatives of the religious organisations (Baha'i, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Islamic and Jewish) involved in a national conference on the transformation of welfare in South Africa, hosted in Cape Town by the EFSA Institute.
The establishment of the NRASD was a response to specific challenges:
Firstly, it was a direct response to a challenge posed by a former minister of welfare and population development, Ms Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi, when she stated:
There are obvious benefits to the establishment of a formal network of religious organisations. Ideally, this would lead to exchanges of best practice models, joint endeavours to improve the conditions of people through high impact initiatives and resources sharing. From a government point of view, and more specifically the welfare department, it will enable us to engage in a structured manner on a regular basis.
Secondly, in the absence of a national religious network that could enter into formal agreements with government and international donors, international support for social projects in South Africa could not be accessed. Since the birth of the democratic South Africa, the lack of formal cooperation (and formal agreements) between the state and faith-based organisations had prevented local religious networks from qualifying for and meeting the conditions of international donors to receive substantial funding for social upliftment programmes. International donor funding is increasingly directed away from South Africa, mainly to other needy parts of the world, for example Eastern Europe.
Today the NRASD represents the concerns and interests of different faith welfare networks, which include Baha'i, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Islamic and Jewish traditions. It has established itself in a relatively short period as an important national role-player that strives to fulfil the following functions:
consultations with government departments and ministries;
joint lobby processes for changes on programme level; and
implementation of a new development partnership with the government.
Basic approach
The basic approach of the NRASD is to strengthen the capacity and programmes of existing networks to enable them to play an even bigger role in this field. Together the religious groups represent by far the largest networks for social, welfare and development work in South Africa.

NUIG to share €200,000 funding to develop rapid coronavirus-testing device
News > NUIG to share €200,000 funding to develop rapid coronavirus-testing device
Featured Article 27 Nov 2020

Ireland's Health Research Board has awarded researchers from NUI Galway and the University of Wyoming a grant of €199,720 to develop a handheld device for rapid detection of the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2.
The battery-operated device, which researchers aim to make available by early next year, is designed to detect the virus using a laser in approximately 15 minutes.
Its developers are now looking to develop an accompanying Covid-19 test in order to produce and distribute large quantities within a short period of time. It will be possible for the rapid test to be administered by anyone, researchers said, such as airport officials or school principals.
The research effort is led by NUI Galway's Prof Gerard Wall, who is also based at the SFI medical device research centre Cúram, along with Prof Patrick Johnson and Karen Wawrousek of the University of Wyoming.
'Immediate intervention and treatment'
As part of the joint effort, Wall will look to produce antibody fragments in vitro for use in the detection of SARS-CoV-2. The antibody fragments will enable high sensitivity and reproducibility of the device and can be produced in large quantities in bacterial cells.
Johnson and Wawrousek will then attach the antibody fragments to nanoparticles for incorporation into a handheld, battery-operated device that will carry out rapid detection of the virus using a laser.
Samples can be collected from saliva, a nasal swab or blood, which can then be placed in glass vials and inserted into handheld testing devices, called Raman spectrometers, for analysis. Johnson said that the test used by the device will have higher sensitivity than other rapid tests and will not require any sample preparation.
"The idea is to have an accurate, portable, on-site test with results within 15 to 20 minutes," he said. "This will allow rapid answers while the person is still present, enabling immediate intervention and treatment."
The researchers said that they plan to use Raman spectrometers developed by Metrohm Raman in Wyoming and will work with the Wyoming Public Health Laboratory to validate the assay against known positive and negative samples.

I don't know if the problem is in the 'await fetch' function or maybe I used the wrong class or id somewhere.
Where to start?

  const newHTML = await homePageResponse.text();
  const newDocument = new DOMParser().parseFromString(newHTML, "text/html");

urls.py
    path(

        login_required(
            ArticleDetail.as_view(template_name = "web/article_detail_view.html")
        ),
        name='article_detail'
        ),
    path('like/<int:pk>', views.like, name='like'),

In the views should I also use  "if request.method == "POST":" ?
views.py
def like(request, pk):

    article = get_object_or_404(Article, id=request.POST.get("article_id"))
    if article.likes.filter(id=request.user.id).exists():
        article.likes.remove(request.user)
        liked = False
    else:
        article.likes.add(request.user)
        liked = True
    return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse("article_detail", args=[int(pk)]))

and detail_view.py
class .post is in  thats why i used .closest(".post") in javascript.js

 ........

    {% if liked %}
    <button class="btn btn-danger position-relative" type="submit" id="like" name="article_id"
        value="{{article.id}}">

    </button>
    {% else %}
    <button class="btn btn-primary position-relative" type="submit" id="like" name="article_id"
        value="{{article.id}}">

            {{ likes }}

    </button>
    {% endif %}

A: Ok I got it it was a error 404 came from views.py get_or_404
Now I just rebuild the like function in views and its working as should

def like(request, pk):
    if request.method == "POST":
        #article = get_object_or_404(Article, id=request.POST.get("article_id"))
        article = Article.objects.get(id=pk)

        if article.likes.filter(id=request.user.id).exists():
            article.likes.remove(request.user)
            liked = False
        else:
            article.likes.add(request.user)
            liked = True

    return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse("article_detail", args=[int(pk)]))

It's easy to spend a lot of time thinking about things that have gone wrong.
Although we can all learn from mistakes, it's not helpful to spend a lot time thinking about negative things. This can lead to worry and stress.
This is where positive thinking comes in.
Try this exercise to get yourself into the habit of thinking more positively about things that have gone well and why.
People who do this positive thinking exercise say they feel happier, less worried and less sad.
Each day for the next week, give yourself 10-15 minutes before you go to sleep to write down three things that went well and why. This could be something as simple as 'My son gave me a nice smile this morning'. Or it might be a major event – for example, 'I booked our family holiday'.
Underneath each thing that went well, write what you did to make it happen. For example, if you put 'My son gave me a nice smile today', you could write, 'I smiled and he smiled back'.
It might feel odd to do this at first, but it gets easier with practice. Try to give it a go for a week. Check your notes at the end of the week.
Share this exercise with family and friends.
You can do this exercise with your children, helping them think about things that have gone well for them. For example, your younger child might have built a Lego creation that he really likes. Your older or teenage child might have finished a tricky assignment or helped out with some extra family chores. Older children and teenagers can try doing this exercise by themselves.

Before education, before my wife and kids, my first love was baseball. I began playing baseball as a young child and still play it today in a my 28 and over league. Through baseball I learned discipline, team work and determination; all things that have carried over into my life as an educator. I received a scholarship to play at the collegiate level at Point Park University. I truly believe that without baseball, I would not be the man I am today. Not only do I still play, but have coached two of my daughters' and both of my sons' teams.

Plenty. But obviously WPP doesn't agree given that they've minimized two big ones, J. Walter Thompson and Y&R. They didn't ask me (but that doesn't stop me from having an opinion) but I think they're making a serious mistake in both cases.
Young & Rubicam was a giant with a long history as well. It was formed in 1923 by John Orr Young and Raymond Rubicam in Philadelphia. The company moved to New York in 1926 as a condition of securing a contract with the newly formed Jell-O company.
But de facto WPP has now effectively killed both brand names. Yes they will continue to live, but in a lesser form. Better to have put them out of their misery, if they felt that way.
Obviously, this was far bigger than name changes and, in each case, integrating two agencies into one functioning unit is a big challenge (which often fails). But if you ask me, if I were in a position to hire an agency, I wouldn't hire a business which demonstrates such a poor understanding of branding. Clearly WPP thinks that Wunderman with its strong analytics offering is a good partner for the more traditional (and declining) J. Walter Thompson and the combined entity will be even stronger. My 2 cents is that often agencies think that a merger of 1+1=2.5. However the reality of agency mashups is that 1+1 more often equals 1.5.
From a branding perspective, this is not a yearning for yesteryear, but if you were going to kill big brand names from yesteryear, then just do it. Neutering them is the weakest path. Like saying "We used to be somebody", but now we're not. They'd have been better off creating totally new brand names for these combined firms and building meaning into the new brand. Makes more sense that scotch taping names together.
Smart marketing agencies should know better.
Quote of the day. Applies to almost all business mergers, I'd suggest.
Nicely done — thanks for this insight as always, Lonny.
Thanks Kel. As we all know the reality of a merger is always far different than the concept.

Episode: Sam Phillips Interview on WPKN
Dec 2, 2016 interview with singer, songwriter and producer Sam Phillips on Connections on WPKN with Eric Cocks.
Sam has a terrific new ep, Human Contact Is Never Easy, and has recently completed her score for the Netflix revival of Gilmore Girls. In a very informal conversation, we talk about writing, recording and producing the album (which includes contributions from multi-talented and multi-instrumentalist Eric Gorfain, drummer Jay Bellerose, bass player Jennifer Condos and The Section Quartet).
Sam goes into details on the writing and recording process for the new ep and the Gilmore Girls score. Also thoughts on art, independently releasing music on her own label, why she writes music, producing her own records and playing drums. Plus conversations about drummer Jim Keltner, Bob Dylan and musician/producer Steve Addabbo.
We also talk about a new upcoming album by Sam for 2017. Plus two live recordings on the ep, Reflecting Light and If I Could Write, the first live recordings Sam has ever released. Both are from a planned live film and record of intimate performances at Largo at the Coronet in LA.
There's plenty of music from the new ep throughout the interview, along with earlier work from Push Any Button, Martinis and Bikinins, Fan Dance, Don't Do Anything and the rare Omnipop, along with great stories and terrific humor.
The new album and further info is available on Sam's website:

The Ramones in London: What if nobody speaks English?
I have written a cover story about the Ramones in the current issue of Uncut. One element of the Ramones story is their two gigs in London in July 1976, when the band played the Roundhouse and Dingwalls before audiences of around 5,000 at a time they were drawing around 150 back in New York.
So even before the Ramones went to London, they knew the city was familiar with the CBGBs scene. For a band that loved English pop, this was quite a thrill. As Tommy Ramone explained, 'They said the UK was interested and we'd grown up with all our favourite bands coming from the UK [Tommy told me that "Judy Is A Punk" was basically based on "I'm Henry VIII, I Am" by Herman's Hermits] so we were very excited and we thought it might give us our break. We went over for a few days and played the Roundhouse and Dingwalls. We met a lot of the English bands, who came to the soundcheck at Dingwalls. We knew that we had sold out these place so we had an idea something was going on." The success of the Camden shows did nothing for the band's reputation back home, however. When they returned they continued playing in front of small crowds. In fact, as the Pistols gained in notoriety, being associated with English punk acts was more of a hindrance.
In that sense, the Ramones shows were more like the International Poetry Incarnation at the Royal Albert Hall in 1965, when the hippies, ex-Beats, freaks and flower kids all turned up at the same place for the first time and realised they had a constituency, that the happenings they were organising in silos could be fed into a collective scene. It's a glorious movement for any youth movement, the realisation you are part of something bigger than yourself. Even the underground wants to be popular.
Here's an excerpt from the Ramones documentary End Of The Century talking about the Ramones in London.

How Much Is it to Replace a Lost Passport?

How to Change Your Birth Date on Your Passport
You've lost your passport. Whether you're at home or abroad, you'll want to report the missing passport and apply for a new one as soon as possible. Replacing a passport is straightforward but will require time and money.
The minute that you realize that your passport is missing, it is important to report your passport lost or stolen. You'll need to fill out form DS-64, Statement Regarding a Lost or Stolen Passport, and mail to:
U.S. Department of State Passport Services Consular Lost/Stolen Passport Section 1111 19th St., NW, Suite 500 Washington, D.C. 20036
If you're out of the country when you lose the passport, you'll need to contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate to report your missing passport and apply for a new one.
You will need to apply for a new passport to replace the one you've misplaced. You must appear IN PERSON at a local passport agency to complete the replacement process. Applying for a replacement is identical to applying in person for a new passport. You'll need to fill in and submit form DS-11, submit proof of citizenship such as a certified birth certificate, submit proof of identity such as a valid driver's license, submit two identical passport photos and pay the applicable fee. The fee for a passport book for adults 16 and over is $100, while the passport card fee is $45. For those under the age of 16, passport books are $85 while cards are $35. Expedited service is available for an additional fee of $60, for passport books only. Also bring the DS-64 form, if you haven't already mailed it.
When filling in DS-11 to obtain a new passport, pay close attention to question 18. Write your name as it appeared on the missing passport, the approximate date the passport was issued, passport number if you know it, and write EXPIRED next to the OTHER box if the passport had expired.
Once your DS-64 form has been processed, the lost passport is invalidated. If you recover the passport, it will no longer be valid for travel and should be mailed to the same address as in Section 1.
The passport will be canceled and returned to you (if you'd like it back) or destroyed. It cannot be revalidated.
If you're out of the country when you lose your passport it can be more difficult, particularly if you plan on returning home soon. You'll still need to present the same items for proof of identity and citizenship and will need to have these faxed or mailed, if you do not have them with you. You may also need to get a police report of the theft or loss and bring it with you to the embassy or consulate. You may need to alter your travel plans, or pay significant expediting fees in order to get your replacement passport. Contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate immediately for full procedural details.

Can a former League of Ireland favourite inspire an upset of Man City and more FA Cup talking points
Paul Cook's Wigan take on Pep Guardiola's men in the competition's fifth round.

1. Will Huddersfield do the double over Man United?

IT MAY SEEM like a long time ago given the current issues at the club, but Man United actually had a quite promising start to this season.
Of the Red Devils' opening seven games, they won six and drew one, with the prospect of a closely fought title race with neighbours City looking a distinct possibility at that point.
It was only on 21 October when signs of trouble first really became evident, as Jose Mourinho's side were stunned 2-1 away to recently promoted Huddersfield.
And while United have since gained a degree of retribution with a 2-0 victory over the same opposition at Old Trafford earlier this month, problems still clearly exist at the club, as was obvious in their limp 1-0 loss to Newcastle last weekend.
It is not a crisis by any means yet, of course — trailing City by 16 points is not good enough for a club of their aspirations and resources, but they are at least still second in the league and in with a chance of claiming two trophies.
The problems in relation to Paul Pogba have been a concern, however, with rumours of a clash with Mourinho potentially leading to disastrous consequences for the club.
United's last loss to Huddersfield proved a turning point in their season and was the real start of the decline that paved the way for City running away with the league.
Another defeat by David Wagner's side could also prove a decisive moment in their season, as it would leave the Champions League as the only trophy left that the Old Trafford outfit could realistically hope to win.
Given all the millions Mourinho has spent, a season without a major honour would reflect poorly on everyone at the club and leave the manager open to accusations of leading the club in a backwards direction, after the positive steps last season in securing both the Europa League and the Carabao Cup.
Consequently, it is vital that United avoid a repeat of the embarrassing defeat they suffered at John Smith's Stadium earlier this season.
2. What is going on at Chelsea?
It has been apparent for quite some time that Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is not a happy man.
He has made clear that the club's transfer dealings have not always been to his satisfaction and the reluctance to pick certain senior players, such as David Luiz, have added to the impression that there is considerable tension at Stamford Bridge currently.
The reigning champions have not quite imploded as spectacularly as they did the season before last, but they have threatened to at times.
The Londoners' recent form has been worrying — they are 19 points adrift of leaders City in fourth place, while back-to-back losses against Bournemouth (3-0) and Watford (4-1) earlier this month suggested the notoriously fragile dressing room ambiance had been badly damaged at Chelsea.
A 3-0 defeat of a West Brom side on Monday boosted morale, but did little to temper suspicions that deeper problems continue to exist at the club.
Beating a Hull team who are currently struggling at the wrong end of the Championship will hardly inspire talk of a revival either, but anything other than that could prove catastrophic given how perilous the situation at the club is already.
An upset is not beyond the realm of possibility, however, especially as the Blues will no doubt be prioritising their Champions League clash at home to Barcelona on Tuesday.
3. A less glamorous trip for Tottenham
One of the great aspects of the FA Cup continues to be the ties it throws up that can involve one of the best teams in Europe travelling to rather unforgiving and less-than-glamorous surroundings.
This week, a case in point is Tottenham's visit to face League One side Rochdale at Spotland Stadium.
The game may not quite match the thrills of the Allianz Stadium on Tuesday night, when the North Londiners showed impressive resilience to recover and earn a 2-2 draw against an experienced Juventus team.
However, Spurs can hardly expect an easy ride, especially given what happened in the last round, when they needed a replay to beat League Two side Newport County.
In addition, one of the biggest criticisms that continues to be aimed at Mauricio Pochettino is his failure to land a major trophy in his managerial career thus far, despite all the other positives he has brought to the set-up Tottenham as well as the widespread belief that he is one of Europe's outstanding young coaches.
With the Premier League all but out of reach and the Champions League still a somewhat distant dream given the calibre of sides involved, the FA Cup is probably Spurs' best hope of winning a first major trophy since claiming the League Cup in 2008.
4. Can a former League of Ireland favourite inspire an upset of Man City?

Man City have been so dominant this season that it is perhaps no surprise that they have appeared to let the tempo drop slightly of late.
In the past two months, the club have conceded points against Liverpool, Burnley and Crystal Palace. Despite these slip-ups though, Pep Guardiola's side still hold a comprehensive 16-point lead at the top of the table.
City now need to win just six of their remaining 11 matches to be assured of Premier League glory, so really, it is a matter of when not if they lift the title.
They also have at worst a 50:50 chance of winning the League Cup when they meet Arsenal in the final on 25 February, so two titles are already within their grasp.
Anything else will be a bonus for a side that has undergone a remarkable transformation in the time since Guardiola was appointed.
Yet a serial winner like the Catalan coach will be still be intensively plotting Wigan's downfall ahead of the sides' meeting on Monday, and City have bad memories of the Lactics when it comes to the cup.
As recently as 2013, a Roberto Martinez-managed side relegated from the Premier League that season upset the heavy favourites in the final thanks to Ben Watson's stoppage-time headed goal, with Roberto Mancini sacked as the Etihad outfit's manager two days later.
And the following season, after Uwe Rosler had taken charge of the Championship club, they again stunned City in the quarter-finals of the competition.
Much has changed since then though, and while City are on the verge of claiming the Premier League title, Paul Cook's men are battling for promotion from League One, with the Liverpool-born boss accustomed to inspiring sides to punch above their weight, having guided Sligo Rovers to two FAI Cup triumphs during a stint there that lasted just under five years.
However, given their current respective fortunes, a third consecutive cup upset at City's expense would surely the biggest surprise of the lot.
5. Which of the underdogs will prevail?
The 'magic of the FA Cup' is by now a well-worn cliché and there is no doubt that the competition has lost some of its lustre, with the growth of the Champions League over the past two decades, along with the increased importance and financial incentives that go with a team's league performance.
Nonetheless, it is hard not to take some joy in seeing a side such as, for instance, Newport, travelling to Wembley to face Premier League giants in Tottenham.
Six non-top-flight teams still remain in the competition — Sheffield Wednesday, Rochdale, Wigan, Coventry, Sheffield United and Hull City.
While all would probably prefer promotion from their respective leagues, for the romantics, a place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup surely continues to be regarded as a significantly attractive alternative.
Upcoming FA Cup fifth round fixtures (all games kick off at 15.00 unless stated otherwise):
Leicester v Sheffield United (19.45)
Chelsea v Hull City (20.00)
Sheffield Wednesday v Swansea (12.30)
Brighton v Coventry City
West Brom v Southampton
Huddersfield Town v Man United (17.30)
Rochdale v Tottenham (16.00)
Wigan v Manchester City (19.55)

HUNGER ON THE BORDER
Interview with Julia Quiñones, by David Bacon
Today the US/Mexico border is the subject of intense political controversy. Most of the fireworks focus on the idea that more enforcement can keep people from crossing it. Lost in this hysteria is the reality that the border is a huge place, where millions of people live and work. Not only that, but here free trade policies hold down living standards and prevent union and community organizing. That, in turn, produces pressure on people to seek a better standard of living elsewhere.
To explore the real conditions for border workers, David Bacon interviewed Julia Quiñones, coordinator of the Border Committee of Women Workers, the Comité Fronterizo de Obreras, with offices in Piedras Negras, Mexico.
David: In Spanish, the name of the border committee uses the word "obreras," which means women workers. Why is the name of the committee in the feminine?
Julia: The Comité Fronterizo de Obreras (CFO) is an organization of rank and file women, led by women and men who work in the maquiladoras. The organization was born out of the needs particularly of the young women who work in the factories. In the beginning the industry was especially interested in employing women, and even though this situation has changed over time, we continue to maintain a focus on their experience. We look for a greater level of participation by women, inside their unions and at all levels of leadership.
David: What does the Comité do?
Julia: The CFO is working in three Mexican states -- Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Chihuahua. Our purpose is to educate and organize workers around their labor rights. We try to engage workers in learning and talking about the impact of free trade, and focus on violence against women. We have a program to build economic self-sufficiency and we've created our own maquiladora, making products and giving employment to women.
David: What are the effects of free trade and NAFTA, as you see them in your section of the border?
Julia: Maquiladoras began to arrive in our region over 40 years ago. With the advent of the North American Free Trade Agreement 11 years ago, the working conditions in the maquiladoras got much worse. Even those plants, which over the years had achieved better benefits and wages, began to move south into the interior of Mexico, where the salaries were much lower and the conditions worse.
David: What about the plants that have remained on the border? Have salaries gone up in the years that NAFTA has been in effect? The Mexican government promised when NAFTA was negotiated, that free trade would produce more jobs, and that those jobs would pay more. Mexico would become a first world country, according to then-President Carlos Salinas de Gortari.
Julia: The workers on the border think that was all a big lie. The problem of unemployment wasn't resolved at all. Salaries have not gotten better; in fact, they're completely insufficient for anybody to live on. Workers continue to live in extreme poverty, and at the same time, many people still arrive in the border region looking for work. The cities are overloaded, and don't provide basic services or infrastructure. Look at Ciudad Acuña. It's a disgrace. There are large transnationals, such as Alcoa and Delphi, operating there, yet workers have to build their houses out of cardboard, or materials taken from the factories.
David: What is an average maquiladora factory wage? What will that wage actually buy in the supermarket?
Julia: The average salary for a maquiladora worker is US $45 a week. This allows workers to buy pasta, beans, rice, potatoes, maybe oil – just the basic things to eat. They can't buy cereals. They buy milk on rare occasions, if there are children. No meat.
David: In a Mexican supermarket on the border, how much does a gallon of milk cost?
Julia: There is a mistaken idea that just because we live in Mexico all the products we buy are cheaper. In reality, the basic food we buy is more expensive on the Mexican side. If you go over to the American side, a gallon of milk will cost about $2.50, or 27 Mexican pesos. On our side of the border, in Piedras Negras, it would be 45 pesos or about US $4.50 – twice as expensive. The salaries simply are not enough to permit a family to survive. It's always the case that in any family two or three people have to work to provide for basic necessities. If there's just one head of the family working, other members have to supplement their income by selling things like beauty products. Often people cross the border to sell their blood.
David: That really means that somebody has to work almost half a day just to buy a gallon of milk?
Julia: Approximately, yes.
David: So what does it look like in the neighborhoods where workers live, what are the conditions in which people live?
Julia: It really is a shock, even to workers who come up from the interior, from the Mexican countryside, because they are used to living in houses that are bigger, that have patios, that have space. When they arrive, they see there are very few options for workers here. Perhaps the lucky ones can acquire a house through the Mexican housing program, INFONAVIT. But if they do so they're really in debt to the Mexican government for the rest of their lives. Those houses are in slightly better condition. Otherwise, workers are forced to build their own houses out of whatever materials they can find, in places that are completely inappropriate – along the sides of cliffs or in areas prone to flooding, like stream beds. They have to live in areas unsafe to raise their families.
David: What about basic services, like sewers, like running water, like electricity in those neighborhoods? Are the municipal authorities providing those services?
Julia: In some of the neighborhoods there are such services. For example, in the houses built by INFONAVIT, the government does provide electricity. The problem there is that the bills are very high. A monthly electricity bill might get up to 450 pesos, or US $45, and a water bill 150 pesos per month, or US $15. And the water is not drinkable. In other neighborhoods, where people squat and build their houses the best they can, the government doesn't provide services. People are reduced often to robbing power from electrical lines.
David: That must be pretty dangerous, if you bring in electrical power on wires hooked up illegally to the poles, and you're living in houses made of cardboard and shipping pallets. Fire must be a big danger too.
Julia: It is very dangerous, but it's also very common. Many times when you go into people's houses, you can see the wires run along the ground, where kids are walking and playing around them.
David: Julia, are there unions in the factories?
Julia: On the border you have to understand there are many different situations. In Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez, for example, the most common arrangements are known as protection contracts. These are union contracts that the workers don't know anything about, but which protect the company instead. In Tamaulipas or Coahuila, most of the maquiladoras have unions, but these are called "charro" unions, because they are unresponsive and corrupt and don't support the workers. In Ciudad Acuña, unions are actually prohibited and there is not a single one.
David: The Border Committee has been very active helping workers at the Alcoa Fujikura plant in Piedras Negras, not only to improve their conditions, but also to form an independent union. What happened to them?
Julia: At Alcoa in Piedras Negras, at first workers organized a rank-and-file movement to reform the union from within. There was a "charro" union there, a union that belonged to the Confederation of Mexican Workers (CTM). It was not responsive to workers, so they tried to take it over. They wanted to take control of their own collective bargaining, in order to improve their salaries and their benefits. They saw that the CTM leaders were partial to the company, and not representing them. These workers won election to leadership positions on the plant level, but then found that everything they tried to do was undone by higher leaders of the union, who made secret agreements with the company.
So they formed an independent union, and left the old one. Under Mexican law, they had to get their union registered by the government. They filed the paperwork with the local Conciliation and Arbitration Board, but the agency denied the registration. This case is still not resolved. In fact, after appealing within the Mexican legal system, they filed a complaint with the International Labor Organization, accusing the Mexican government of failing to guarantee its citizens the right of freedom of association.
David: What happened to the workers involved in that effort?
Julia: Some of the leaders were fired, but others continued the organizing work. That's really the key to maintaining a movement with an organized rank-and-file base. When the company fires some leaders, other leaders emerge and keep going. Today there are hundreds of workers involved in this movement.
What they went through is a logical evolution, and you can see it develop in many factories. First workers begin to make changes in their individual lives and in their individual conflicts. They begin to organize and act together along the same assembly line, and then at a plant-wide level. Ultimately because they want more say and control, they try to find a union structure that represents them.
David: The story you're telling here is very similar to many others. Workers can't get their independent unions recognized, and get fired as a result of their efforts. I'm sure you could name a lot of different plants where the same thing has happened. At Sony, in Nuevo Laredo, people were actually beaten up in front of the factory. It happened at Custom and Auto Trim, at the Han Young plant in Tijuana, and at the Duro Bag Co. in Rio Bravo. But NAFTA had a labor side agreement that was supposed to guarantee labor rights in Mexico, so that this wouldn't take place. What about it? Was the NAFTA labor side agreement useful to workers? Could they use it to stop the kind of violations you're describing at Alcoa Fujikura?
Julia: No. The labor side agreement supposedly protects the principle of freedom of association, the issue here. But it's obvious that this labor side agreement hasn't forced anybody to take responsibility. Complaints are filed, and after a long process, the only thing that comes is a recommendation which never translates into actual enforcement. It's not an effective guarantee of anyone's rights.
David: If that's the case, is there any form of labor protection that can be incorporated into agreements like NAFTA, that would guarantee workers rights? Or do you think that workers have to guarantee their labor rights in some other way?
Julia: I think both are possible. NAFTA could be renegotiated, to include effective and obligatory measures to enforce workers' rights. Holding transnational corporations accountable for complying with the law would be helpful to workers. At the same time, even if you have such protections as part of trade agreements, organizing workers at the grassroots level, forming workers' organizations, is vital. Otherwise, we can't enforce any rights recognized by those agreements.
David: What about support from unions on the other side of the border? I know that CFO has relationships with U.S. unions. Do they help guarantee labor rights on the border?
Julia: We've been creating alliances with some U.S. labor unions because we're working for the same companies, and we need to connect our struggles across the border. At the same time, we want these relationships to respect the autonomy of our own organizing style and our own work. Right now, what's most important to us is developing a greater level of commitment to Mexican workers among U.S. unions.
David: What about the Mexican labor movement? Is it going to become more effective and responsive to border workers?
Julia: I think so. When workers take control of their lives, they can make great changes. That's our hope. Ultimately we want an independent labor movement in the maquiladoras. Genuine unionism is the best hope for our families and our future. And we've been able to build important alliances with other unions and movements within Mexico. We share common objectives with unions like the Authentic Labor Front (FAT), and with the independent union called Alcoa Puebla. This union was formed at the Alcoa factory in Puebla, with the help of the independent union at the Volkswagen plant there. Some groups of miners are part of this network also. All these organizations are looking for ways to support maquiladora workers more effectively. We also have an agreement with the National Union of Workers, Mexico's large, new progressive labor federation. It's vital for Mexican workers to form a common front, and work together to revitalize our labor movement.
David: There are a number of other maquiladora worker organizing projects along the border in different cities. There is one in Tijuana, CITTAC, and another one in Torreón, Enlace or Sedepac. The Coalition for Justice in the Maquiladoras includes many of these. Do you foresee any efforts to try and bring these groups together, to create an umbrella under which maquiladora workers can organize in different cities all along the border?
Julia: All of these organizations have the same objective. They're looking for social justice, justice for workers. We find different ways to work, but we are seeking the same goals, the same justice. This process has its ups and downs. We win sometimes, we lose other times. The challenge we all face is to be consistent, so that when workers organize there is a movement to help them. Sometimes when there's a bunch of firings, the organization falls apart. The hard thing is to build organizations that can survive these blows.
David: What can an ordinary worker in the US do to be part of this?
Julia: The first thing workers can do is organize themselves and fight for their own jobs where they are. This is the first step towards building international solidarity. For the companies, there are simply no borders anymore, or barriers to the movement of capital. We need to take a lesson from their mentality, and build the same borderless solidarity and support for one another. If workers in the U.S. understand that Mexican workers face huge economic difficulties when they try to organize themselves, they can contribute economic support. Mexican organizations don't have the same capacity as organizations in the United States.
Supporting Mexican workers in the United States is important too. The effort of Mexican and other immigrant workers to legalize their status is connected to our rights as workers in Mexico. If workers in the U.S. can't exercise fully their rights, it brings everybody down. Ultimately, the economic level of everybody has to come up. Corporations are very good at looking around the world to see where conditions are the worst, and move to that place. If we can help each other come up, they won't be able to do that.
The main office for the Comite Fronterizo de Obreras (CFO) is in Piedras Negras, Coahuila. Their website, www.cfomaquiladoras.org. has materials in Spanish and English.


What if our traditional view of eternal burning in hell…is….wrong? Insert Annihilationism. John and Bobby introduce the topic as an alternative view to eternal suffering for the unrighteous. John admits to playing Pokemon Trading Cards, Bobby talks about some Golden Balls, and we both attempt to solve the dilemma in government responsibility in preparing the public for attack. John brought a "Cabinet Special Blend" of coffee; it wasn't good, but it was coffee. Roasted Review took us back to Batman vs Superman, Species, and Resident Evil.


Our focus this week, as you might guess, is the HS2 event taking place tomorrow at the Greenwood Centre. With this edition being published (unusually) on Friday, I'm not able to provide feedback on how it went. So, I'm afraid you'll need to bate your breath until next week to find out how it went. In the meantime, some snippets for you.
Lotto bonanza – the £1,000 pa barrier smashed!
The Broxtowe Lotto scheme was only launched in mid-September and I last reported on this 6 weeks ago. At that time, I wrote (somewhat optimistically I thought) about our hopes to attract enough supporters to raise £1,000 towards our activities.
And guess what! The latest report tells us that we are on track to raise almost £1,100 a year!
Members and friends now buy over 40 tickets on our behalf each week and we thank each and every one of you for supporting the Forum. It is a huge boost to the Steering Group to know that you believe in our work to the extent of digging in your pockets to help us.
We only hope some of you have won prizes along the way. If you have, please let us know; it will be good to know we have actual winners as well as being a 'winner' of the scheme ourselves.
I'll keep the link to our page below in case other supporters would like to step forward. But, as promised, I won't be badgering you so much now!
As notified last time, we had a meeting with the DIO earlier this week to discuss our approach to the Local Plan examination process.
It's fair to say (and unsurprising, really) we have different views on how the Barracks should be developed in the long term. So, the meeting became a little heated at times as we discussed our different thoughts concerning the site.
However, it is important to report that the Forum is completely aligned with the DIO's key requirement – the site is capable of delivering a total of 1,500 homes. The DIO want this figure to be formally allocated before they move to the next stage of their overall plan – to develop a masterplan – before then considering how best to dispose of the site.
We believe the site is capable of accommodating 1,500 homes: our caveat is the deadline of delivering the first 500 dwellings by 2028, the end date of the Council's Local Plan. Given historical precedent in the Borough, we don't believe homes can be built at a rate of 100 per annum, starting in 2023, as predicated in the Plan's housing trajectory.
But this is a relatively minor niggle compared to the 'big picture' perspective of the overall allocated figure. So, I'm confident the outcome of this particular hearing will be a win-win for all parties.
Heritage and Landscape report. We are eager to publish this report. We have seen the draft and made our suggested amendments. AECOM have accepted all our comments and the report is now with Locality (the agency handling these technical packages) to review and sign-off on behalf of the government.
Fingers crossed we can finally release it in the next week or so.
Policy Definition and Evidence Gathering report. We have held a series of teleconferences and AECOM have already provided us with useful advice on providing evidence to justify our draft policies. This report – when produced in the spring – will undoubtedly strengthen our Plan and help make it watertight when presented for examination.
Design Codes report. This piece of work will help shape our housing policies. We are keen to reflect comments arising from our consultation sessions last spring to: i) move away from standard 'red-brick' estates, and ii) to build energy efficient and environmentally friendly dwellings.
Again, we expect to get the report sometime late next March, so it will be a welcome late addition to our Plan policies.
Toton and Chilwell Meadows CAT (Community Action Team) meeting is being held next Thurs 29th Nov at 7.15pm at Toton Methodist Church, Stapleford Lane.
More next time, he said, finishing succinctly (still my favourite 'word of the moment') ….

"If only I could have my FFT dashboard before the end of term!"
It's what many schools have requested and something we've always wanted to do. So, for the first time this year FFT are offering a free KS1 early results analysis service to all Aspire Infant and Primary schools.
What will schools need to do before 29 June?

This is a free service to all Aspire schools and the feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive. Our greatest challenge is making sure that schools know about the service as quickly as possible.
We would be tremendously grateful if you could help us by simply letting your schools know about this year's FFT KS1 early results service.
What is new about FFT Aspire?
Unlike FFT Live, FFT Aspire is split over two sites, one just for administration and creating of accounts, the other for normal school users to access their data.

The Ethiopian new year is also known as Enkutatash which is celebrated on September 11 according to the western and Gregorian calendar. This allow you to bask in the excitement and festive atmosphere. Refugees from urban centers in Ethiopia have experience with Western-style medicine, but rural people have trouble understanding the concept of disease and the causes, means of transmission and methods of prevention.

Phi Phi Weather
When is the Best Time to Go to Phi Phi Island?
Phi Phi Island weather plays a huge role in providing a memorable vacation in southern Thailand. The island lies around 40 km from Phuket and has a very similar climate, with average temperatures around 24°C to 32°C year-round.
The best time to visit Phi Phi is from November to March, when humidity is lowest and temperatures average 28°C, with cool breezes keeping things comfortable. The weather in Phi Phi is slightly less agreeable in September and October – the monsoon brings thick clouds with heavy rains, but it's still possible to enjoy some fun on the beach between downpours.
Hot season on Phi Phi Island
The hottest time of the year is from April to May, with temperatures ranging from 27ºC up to 36ºC. However, frequent short showers offer a welcome relief from the humidity on the island. During the Thai New Year (Songkran), which takes place in April, just about everyone sprinkles (or throws) cool water on each other.
Many Thais come to Koh Phi Phi between June and August, since the weather is usually fine during this period. There are brief but heavy showers, with plenty of sunshine between downpours. Everything is a little less expensive at this time of year, as well. Daytime temperatures range between 20ºC and 33ºC, so it's much more comfortable to enjoy the island's many beaches.
Wet season in Phi Phi Island
Frequent heavy downpours in Phi Phi are expected between September and early October. Beaches, outdoor restaurants and streets are relatively empty, but that shouldn't deter you from visiting during the wet season. You can still enjoy long intervals of sunshine between the heavy showers. There are also plenty of low season activities, both water- and land-based, to enjoy in Phi Phi.
