Prior to contacting Lessons In Your Home, my son took guitar lessons for a couple months and just couldn't get interested in practicing during the week. Alana set us up with a local teacher named Erika and she is fantastic. She easily made learning the guitar and piano fun for him. When I've observed their sessions one thing I noticed right away is my son's comfort with her and a noticeable increase in his confidence. Now he practices every day! He even looks forward to his lessons which can be a challenge for any 10 year old.read more

Healthcare providers and laboratories are required to report certain diseases and conditions to Public Health for case management and statistical purposes. Public Health uses this information to protect the community through communicable disease case investigations. In the case of certain diseases, such as measles and bacterial meningitis, Public Health works to ensure that a sick person receives treatment, and that friends and family are protected as well.
Healthcare providers who need to report a suspected public health emergency should contact Public Health immediately at 530-527-6824 or if after hours, call the Tehama County Sheriff's Office at 530-529-7900 and ask for the Public Health Emergency Contact.

I thought I would start my day by exploring the Hotel Bonaventure's ballroom exhibits, and on my way to the Westmont 2 room, where British company PMC was presenting the North American debut of their flagship Fenestria loudspeaker, I heard some unambiguously live harp music, played by the young lady in the photo, Isabeau Corriveau. A great way to start the day and one that emphasized the show's focus on music of every kind.
PMC started off manufacturing monitor speakers for recording studios in 1991 but branched out into the domestic speaker market in the mid-1990s. These days, around 80% of PMC's production is of consumer loudspeakers and the massive Fenestria ($65,000/pair) is their assault on the state of the art. Standing 67" tall, the 3-way Fenestria uses two bass modules each with two transmission line-loaded woofers with flat carbon-fiber diaphragms, these crossing over at 380Hz at what PMC calls the "Nest." Featured in my photo, the Nest combines a 3"-dome midrange unit with a 0.75" tweeter above, these mounted in a frame machined from a solid billet of aluminum which is decoupled from the rest of the cabinet with compliant mounts. The tweeter is further decoupled from the Nest. Flanking the enclosure are "wings" that have their mass and the suspension compliance tuned to cancel cabinet resonances.
Driven by Hegel amplification with XLO cables and with CD-resolution data decoded by an iFi DAC, the Fenestrias offered superbly palpable midrange and high frequencies on a recording by Canadian singer/pianist Anne Bisson. The image of Bisson's piano, in particular, hung in the space between the speakers, with no notes splashing to the sides. The transmission-line vents at the top and bottom of the enclosure feature laminar-flow fins to eliminate chuffing. The sub-bass notes on James Blake's "Limit to your love," played back at high volume, sounded clean with no wind noises or distortion. An impressive debut by an impressively engineered loudspeaker.
My next stop was the MartinLogan room, where the company's Neolith speakers ($80,000/pair, 385lb each) were being demmed with Simaudio Moon electronics—a 780D DAC, an 850P preamplifier, and a pair of 880M monoblocks—and MIT cables and power conditioning. Branford Marsalis's Trio Jeepy album was streaming from Qobuz when I came in and though the stereo imaging on this recording was decidedly old-fashioned— sax on the left, drums on the right, double bass in the center—the electrostatic Neoliths (with their cone woofers) filled the very large room with sound. I asked MartinLogan's Dennis Chern for something classical and he streamed Stravinsky's l'Histoire du Soldat. Beautifully precise, stable soundstaging, uncolored mids, extended highs, controlled, extended lows—very nice!
Canadian speaker company Paradigm has been MartinLogan;s sister company for some years now, and as they had the room next door, it made sense to visit them next. Greeting me as I entered was a tower of Paradigms' Defiance subwoofers, with the big X15 on the bottom and the tiny V8 on the top. All except the last can be used with Anthem Room Correction, which I have become of fan of.
Paradigm's active dem was devoted to home theater and surround, in which I have little interests, so I moved on the large room shared by Oracle and Eon Art. Oracle I am well familiar with, having lusted after one their turntables since I first hear one in the mid-1980s—they were showing the Delphi Mk.6 turntable at the show, along with their similarly styled and futuristic-looking CD1000 CD player ($12,000) and transport ($8500)—but the latter name was new to me. It turned out that this is a French company making its north American debut with what they called a "tall" loudspeaker, with an MTM upper-frequency array and a ported woofer, priced at $CDN35,000/pair, my scribbled notes say. The speakers were driven by the Eon Art Quark 208W integrated amplifier ($28,599), a hybrid design featuring a tubed preamp stage (Tesla E88CCs recommended) and a class-D output stage offering 208Wpc into 8 ohms, 332Wpc into 4 ohms.
In keeping with the show's theme, The Beatles' "And I love her" was playing when I entered but we switched to "more contemporary" music—Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. A big soundstage and tight, extended low frequencies had me listening for longer than I had intended, given that I had many more rooms to visit.
VPI's Mat Weisfeld was having fun in the room the New Jersey company was sharing with Joseph Audio and Cardas, playing the direct-to-disc Crystal Clear Charlie Byrd album on the VPI 40th Anniversary HW40 Direct Drive turntable fitted with VPI's 3D-printed Fat Boy tonearm. But the pride of the player was the first-ever VPI phono cartridge, serial number "000"—a limited-edition model made for VPI by Miyajima.
The Joseph speakers were the two-way Pulsar 2s, sitting on chunky, double-pillar Osiris stands, and set-up, as is the room-wise Jeff Joseph's wont, on the diagonal. Driven by a Brinkmann Nyquist DAC fed by an Innuos server, an Alluxity Integrated amplifier, and VPI's new Voyager phono preamp, the sound in this room was excellent, with surprisingly full-bodied lows. The kick drum on the Byrd album had good definition and when Mat played an ancient LP of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker—Philharmonia conducted by John Lanchbery?—the orchestral instruments were reproduced with natural signatures. But wait a minute—Pulsar 2? The original Pulsar has been a long-time resident of Stereophile's "Recommended Components" but has now been upgraded with a new SEAS Excel woofer featuring a graphene-coated cone. A FollowUp review is planned.
LP-cleaning maven Charles Kirmuss has become a fixture at North American audio shows, demonstrating his controversial LP cleaning machine. But at this show he was doing so in fluent French as well as giving a seminar on Saturday entitled "Comprendre comment les vinyles sont fabriqué afin de savoir en prendre soin." Les vinyles? Zut alors!!! Le vinyl est singular, sûrement!
I agree with Oliver. The Sonic Artistry room was a top standout. Soulution paired very well with the Stenheim's. This was the first time I heard the Brinkmann DAC and Wolf combination and I was impressed with how fluid and natural it sounded. Wolf is doing something right with their systems, many of my favorite rooms at shows use them.

Glaucoma is a condition in which damage is done to the optic nerve, ultimately resulting in an irreversible loss of vision. It is the second leading cause of blindness. There are two main types of Glaucoma: Open Angle and Closed Angle. Open Angle Glaucoma progresses slowly and symptoms may go unnoticed as there is usually only subtle vision loss. Closed Angle Glaucoma happens quickly and can lead to pain and rapid vision loss.
The signs and symptoms of Glaucoma will vary depending on the type one has. There are typically no indicators or warning signs that one has Open Angle Glaucoma. By the time the patient is aware of the vision loss, it is pretty late in the disease. Closed Angle Glaucoma reveals symptoms very quickly in response to the fast-occurring damage.
Glaucoma is caused by optic nerve damage. The reason for the damage is usually tied to increased pressure in the eye. Pressure is primarily due to a build up of fluid in the eye either because the drainage system in the eye doesn't work properly, or because there is an overproduction of fluid. Open Angle Glaucoma is when the drainage angle, formed by the cornea and the iris, stays open, but the tissue (trabecular meshwork) stays partially blocked. Closed Angle Glaucoma happens when the iris bulges forward, causing the drainage angle to close. This means that the fluid in the eye cannot circulate, which causes pressure and fluid build up. Other causes are listed below.
Exercise is a great way to help increase circulation throughout the body. Promoting overall circulation may help decrease or reverse the symptoms of Glaucoma. A brisk walk or another light yet responsible exercise program are good routines to incorporate into your daily life. Be careful when it comes to yoga because it involves inverted exercises, which ultimately put pressure on the optic nerve. It's best to avoid pressure on the optic nerve, as this is the primary cause of Glaucoma.
There is a possible link between Glaucoma and food or environmental allergies. It's best to eliminate or avoid any known allergens from your life to help curb the effects of Glaucoma. You may even want to take an allergy or food allergy test to find out what you are allergic to, so that you can eliminate those allergens from your life.
It's best to consume raw foods that are high in vitamin C and antioxidants. Eating dark colored berries will give you lots of antioxidants and citrus fruits are loaded with vitamin C. You should also lower your insulin levels by avoiding grains and sugars such as bread, rice, pasta, cereal, and potatoes. High insulin levels can cause high blood pressure and may contribute to pressure in the eyes. Lowering your insulin levels via exercise is also a viable option.
Germanium helps increase available oxygen to the eyes and can aid in clearing congestion. You can start off using small amounts, making herbal teas with it, or using it as essential oil. Slowly increase the amount you use if you feel that it is working.

We have seen a lot of Champagne Rugby this year, but that was a tense finale! Winning in the last play!
There was joy for Belsize's third team as they secured a third successive title and promotion in the Middlesex Merit Table while extending their magnificent unbeaten run in competitive rugby to 50 matches.
Captain David Tink scored a winning penalty with the final kick of the match as BP beat Kilburn Cosmos' second team 20-17, maintaining their perfect record for the season and taking another crown.
They have won all 15 of their league games this campaign, scoring 789 points in the process and conceding just 61.
Kilburn kicked a penalty midway through the first half but Belsize quickly responded as Matt Fiander touched down for a converted try. And, when the Cosmos replied in kind, Adam Marcus went over just before the half-time whistle to give BP a 12-10 lead at the break.
The Cosmos struck first in the second period but Park's number eight Lee Harrison made it over the whitewash to equalise at 17-17.
Belsize thought they had scored again when Miguel Martinez touched down, but the try was disallowed for a forward pass.
Instead, it was left to Tink to win the day as the referee awarded a penalty right at the end of the match, and the skipper stepped up to win the match and the title.
The two teams go head to head again on Saturday – this time in the Middlesex Merit Bowl final at Finchley RFC.
BP XV's III bs Kilburn Cosmos b's League Final 13/04/15Photos from multiple sources.
Belsize's second and fourth teams have also won their leagues this season, but they lost their cup semi-finals at the weekend against Hertford's fourth team and Biggleswade's third string respectively.
Belsize III's make it 49 games undefeated and push on to League and Cup Double in season 14/15!
After an undefeated season which saw Belsize III's take 69 out of a possible 70 points for the season, with a points differential of +660 from 14 games, the season was on the line against the Thamesian Spartans who had been in excellent form at the back end of the season, pushing Belsize to a tight 28-14 result only a few weeks ago.
Belsize headed into the game full of confidence after beating Northolt (leading the league above) 40-5 in the Bowl Semi Final and came out of the blocks, fired up in the Semi. Within minutes Park were on the board and followed up with some good forward tries immediately after, including a lovely rolling maul move from a line out. Everything was going right and the backrow of Lee Harrison, Stef Pozzebon and Jimmy Thillet working exceptionally hard, although the same could be said for the entire pack, who really were the difference. The Belsize backs did what they have done all season in running straight hard lines for their 10 to pick a man, with great support play from the outside men. Although the team was disappointed to back off in the second half, with the game won at half time there was a lot to be pleased about.
Attention now turns to the final games of the season, both of which are grand finals. Importantly this win took our Belsize 3s to 49 games undefeated with the first sudden death game (v Kilburn IIs in League Final) to the only opportunity to make it 50. Belsize will face Kilburn again on 18 April in the MMT Cup Final which many punters say is shaping up as great club day out.

List of UNESCO Heritage Sites in Nigeria
InformationPeople & Places
Have you ever wondered whether or not Nigeria has heritage sites in the UNESCO list? UNESCO heritage sites in Nigeria are just two with many other nominated sites being on the tentative list.
Conservation of heritage buildings or sites is very important because it provides a sense of identity and continuity in a fast-changing world for future generations. Heritage buildings/sites basically represent the past history and culture of a nation, people or an era.
Nigeria is no doubt blessed with outstanding cultural, natural and significant heritage sites, which are listed among the UNESCO Heritage Sites. These sites exist nowhere else in the world and have become a great interest to visitors and Nigerians who long for a share of the history of the areas of these sites.
We combed through the list of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites and discovered that only two cultural sites in Nigeria were approved to be on the list while others are on the tentative list, which may be considered for nomination.
However, we present to you the list of Nigerian heritage sites, which are on both the tentative and World UNESCO Heritage sites' lists. These sites have natural and extreme beauty with historical significance that will inspire everyone; therefore, we recommend you visit them straight-away.
UNESCO Heritage Sites in Nigeria
1. Sukur Cultural Landscape
(Location: Adamawa State, North East, Nigeria)
This is one of the magnificent destinations that is better visited than seen on travel magazines or imagined, populated by a rich avifauna, rare species and located on top of the highest plains on the Mandara Mountains in a place called Madageli, Adamawa state. This is Nigeria's first landmark to be inscribed on UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. The landscape features a palace, ritual featured terraced fields decorated with dry stones and granites, which make the village setting so natural and exceptional.
2. Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove
(Location: Osogbo, Osun State, South West, Nigeria)
This sacred forest is situated along the banks of the Oshun River, on the outskirts of the capital city of Osogbo, which is regarded as the home of the goddess of fertility – Osun. There are shrines, artworks, sculptures and sanctuaries that dot the river in honour of the goddess and other local deities. It is considered as the last of the Yoruba's sacred forests that is still standing. In 2005, it was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Its yearly festival brings thousands of spectators, tourists and Osun worshippers from around the world.
Below are on the tentative list of the UNESCO Cultural Heritage…
3. Alok Ikom Stone Monoliths
(Location: Cross River State, South-South, Nigeria)
Akwasnshi/Atal as the monolith is called among the Ejagham people of the Cross River State is distributed among over" thirty communities. In each community, the stones are found in circles, sometimes perfect circles, facing each other standing erect, except where they have been tampered with by weather or man.
In some cases, the stones are found in the center of the village or in the central meeting place of the village elders, as in the case of Alok and Agba communities. In Etinan and Nabrokpa communities, the stones are located in an area of uncultivated forest outside the villages. The majority of the stones are carved in hard, medium-textured basaltic rock, a few are carved in sandstone and shelly limestone.
The common features of the monoliths are that they are hewn into the form of a phallus ranging from about three feet in height to about five and half feet and are decorated with carvings of geometric and stylized human features, notably two eyes, an open mouth, a head crowned with rings, a stylized pointed beard, an elaborately marked navel, two decorative hands with five fingers, a nose, various shape of facial marks.
The stone monoliths of Alok Ikom bear a form of writing and a complex system of codified information. Although they seem to share the same general features, each stone, like the human fingerprint, is unique from every other stone in its design and execution.
The geometric images on the monoliths suggest that their makers possessed more than a basic knowledge of mathematics, not only because they are geometric, but also because of the obvious implication that there were computations and numbers on the layout of the stones.
3. Ancient Kano City Walls and Associated Sites
(Location: Kano State, North West, Nigeria)
Ancient Kano City Wall is a 14km radius earth structure, while associated sites are made up of these features, Dala Hills, Kurmi Market and Emir's Palace.
The ancient Kano city wals were built in order to provide security to the growing population. The foundation for the construction of the wall was laid by Sakri Gijimasu from 1095 – 1134 and was completed in the middle of 14th Century during the reign of Zamnagawa. In the 16th century, the walls were further extended to their present position. The gates are as old as the walls and were used to control movement of people in and out of the city. Though, most of them are largely in ruins.
Ancient Kano city Walls and associated sites are places of spiritual, historical and cultural significance. Dala Hill was the place of the first settlement in Kano city and it formed the nucleus for the peopling of the rest of the city and was the foundation of its economic and political development.
The site bear testimony to local craftsmanship and ingenuity as is evidenced in the materials used for the construction of the walls and palace.
4. Arochkwu Long Juju Slave Route (Cave Temple Complex)
(Location: Abia State, South East, Nigeria)
There is a six-foot gully though now covered 'in a thickest that leads into the ancient Cave Temple. This is the main oracular shrine of Ibin Ukpabi and by which stands as if on guard the cult statue of Kamalu "the warrior god". The site also contains an altar, which is the kitchen area. A waterfall (the loud sound of which from a distance is regarded as the prophetic voice of Ibn Ukpabi). There is also the throne of judgment – the dark presence ("the Holy of Holies") those who were found guilty walked into dark tunnels and those found innocent returned to their relatives.
Other features include a hill of rags. That is the place where the condemned were required to undress and leave their clothes before they disappeared into the tunnels around the hill of rags. There is also the tunnel of disappearance, which is the dark tunnels into which the victims disappeared. At the site can be found the red river where it is said that as the victims disappear, the Aro would colour the river red to give people the impression that the condemned has died. And the red water flowing down the stream would be a sign to the relatives that the victims were dead. Yet another feature is the Iyi-Eke – an outlet from where the victims now blind folded walk to "Onu Asu Bekee" (the European beach, which later became the government beach) and from there, waiting boats took the enslaved to Calabar for onward transmission to Ala Bekee.
The Aros, centred around Arochukwu were able to manipulate their central oracle, Ibn Ukpabi (Long – Juju) in such a way, that it became the judicial machinery in every Igbo community. Trusting in the efficacy of the oracle, people in dispute went to settle their scores. The guilty victims became a property of the gods. They were eventually sold as slaves or retained as domestic property of the Aro Priest.
5. Benin Iya/Sungbo's Eredo
(Location: Benin/Epe/Eredo/Ijebu)
Sungbo's Eredo is a system of defensive walls and ditches that is located to the southwest of the Yoruba town of Ijebu Ode in Ogun State, southwest Nigeria (6.78700°N 3.87488°E). It was built in honour of the Ijebu noblewoman Oloye Bilikisu Sungbo.
The Eredo served a defensive purpose when it was built in 800–1000, a period of political confrontation and consolidation in the southern Nigerian rainforest. It was likely to have been inspired by the same process that led to the construction of similar walls and ditches throughout western Nigeria, including earthworks around Ifẹ̀, Ilesa, and the Benin Iya, a 6,500-kilometre (4,000 mi) series of connected but separate earthworks in the neighboring Edo-speaking region.
It is believed that the Eredo was a means of unifying an area of diverse communities into a single kingdom. It seems that the builders of these fortifications deliberately tried to reach groundwater or clay to create a swampy bottom for the ditch. If this could be achieved in shallow depth, builders stopped, even if only at the depth of 1 meter. In some places, small, conical idol statues had been placed on the bottom of the ditch.
Legends of the contemporary Ijebu clan link the Eredo to a fabled wealthy and childless widow named Bilikisu Sungbo. According to them, the monument was built as her personal memorial. In addition to this, her grave is believed to be located in Oke-Eiri, a town in a Muslim area just north of the Eredo. Pilgrims of Christian, Muslim and traditional African religions annually trek to this holy site in tribute to her.
6. Gashaki-Gumpti National Park
(Location: Taraba, Adamawa, North East, Nigeria)
The Gashaki-Gumpti National Park is Nigeria's largest and most diverse National Park. It is set amidst spectacular scenery with Nigeria's highest peaks, Chappal Wadi (the "Mountain of Death") at 2,400 meters and Chappal Hendu ("Mountain of Wind") at 2,030 meters. The vegetation consists of an intricate patchwork of guinea savannah, gallery forest, montane forest and montane grassland. Traditional lore serves to protect some of the highest populations of primates in West Africa, including chimpanzees. Other fauna include the giant forest hog, leopard, lion, hippopotamus, buffalo, hartebeests, yellow-backed duiker and an abundance of birdlife.
7. Kwiambana and/or Ningi
(Location: Zamfara, North West, Nigeria)
Kwiambana is a ruined settlement in what is now the Kwiambana Forest Reserve. Kwiambana ruins lie on and around a twin-peaked granite inselberg in what has been until very recently a relatively inaccessible area of the Kwiambana Game Reserve. The well-preserved mud structures are enclosed by a five to seven-meter high bank and ditch which becomes a mud-block wall with loopholes where the circular town wall passes over bare rock, and is a natural coursed rubble wall along many other sections. There are some low free-stone walls enclosing the steep hillside, and several level sites where houses may have been constructed. The settlement, which appears to be ancient, was destroyed during the Fulani Jihad in the early 19th century.
8. Lake Chad Cultural Landscape
(Location: Between Yobe and Borno, North East, Nigeria)
The Lake Chad consists of cultural and natural values. The Chad Basin National Park (Lake Chad Nigeria Section) occupies a total of 2,258sq.km and is located between Borno and Yobe states in the extreme north-eastern corner of Nigeria.
The Park is generally described as being in the conventional basin of the famous but rapidly shrinking Lake Chad. The vegetation is typical Sudan Guinea Savannah, except in the most northern part where it takes on more Sahelian nature, partly due to the influence of intense human activities. The park has three distinct sectors in Borno and Yobe States, separated by hundreds of kilometers. These are the Chingurmi-Duguma sector, the Bade-Nguru Wetlands and the Bulatura Oases. The Chingurmi-Duguma sector is dominated by Acacia-Balanites woodland complex interspaced with dense stands of elephant grass (sorghum aethsopiump) in definitely stratified form that add to the natural beauty of the ecosystem.
The Bulataru Oases in the sand dunes cover an area of 92sq.km made up of a series of fertile interdunal depressions (swampy valleys) referred to as oases. The sand dunes are described as "mobile desert hills" and create a highly scenic eco-tourist attraction. A large part of the Park is flooded by water from the River Dorma during the rainy season creating flood plains and wetlands which attract water birds and other wildlife species, a great spectacle for visitors. The Chad Basin remains the only existing stronghold of Giraffe and Ostrich in Nigeria. The Lake Chad environment presents an exceptional mosaic of plant formations forming as many biotopes, oasis and wet zones of international importance.
9. Niger Delta Mangroves
(Location: South South, Nigeria)
A mangrove is a shrub or small tree that grows in coastal saline or brackish water. The term is also used for tropical coastal vegetation consisting of such species. The Niger Delta is fringed by a deep belt of mangrove forest, which protects vast areas of freshwater swampland in the Inner Delta. The trees and roots provide rich habitats for a wide range of flora and fauna, much of which is only just beginning to be understood.
10. Oban Hills/Korup
(Location: Calabar, South South, Nigeria)
The Oban Hills are a range of hills that lies in the southern section of the Cross River National Park of South-Eastern Nigeria and adjoins the Korup National Park in Western Cameroon. The steep-side hills are covered in ancient Biafran type rainforest. A "neck" between village enclaves serves as a crucial link between two sections of the Oban Hills.
The Oban hills, which take their name from the small town of Oban to the south, contain the largest area of unexploited lowland rain forest in Nigeria. It is possible that at one time the region was home to more people, perhaps being depopulated due to its proximity to the slave-trading center of Calabar, and that the forest may actually be fairly recent growth. A 1988 report said that the remaining patches of forest on mountainous slopes were being encroached upon for logging and farming. Primates such as Preuss's guenon were being hunted for meat. The Oban Hills Forest Reserve was made a part of the Cross River National Park in 1991.
11. Ogbunike Caves
(Location: Anambra, South East, Nigeria)
Ogbunike Caves are situated in a valley with tropical rain forest behind the "Ogba" hills in which lies St. Monica College, Ogbunike. Descending into the valley where the caves are located is a lengthy walkway made up of about 317 steps said to have been constructed by the Anambra State Government in the mid-90s. At the end of the walkway is an open space used as a reception point where visitors are by tradition to remove their shoes.
Ogbunike caves are associated with living traditions and are said to be used by the people for many centuries. The site still retains its historical and spiritual significance. There is an annual festival called "Ime Ogbe" celebrated in commemoration of the discovery of the caves. The biodiversity of the site has remained almost intact. The integrity of the site can be attested to by the presence of the primary forests around the caves. The Nkisa River flows by the side of the caves into which the water that drains from the caves empties itself.
The Ogbunike caves like the ancient cave temple of Arochukwu in Abia State of Nigeria were a symbol of justice. Ogbunike caves have an attractive waterfall at the North West part of the cave that could compare to Kalambo falls in East Africa. The caves are believed to have been in existence for centuries with minimal defacement. The caves occupy a large expanse of area.
12. Oke Idanre (Idanre Hill)
(Location: Ondo State, South West, Nigeria)
Oke Idanre hill consists of high plain with spectacular valleys interspersed with inselbergs of about 3,000 ft above sea level. Its physical attributes include Owa's Palace, Shrines, Old Court, Belfry, Agbooogun footprint, thunder water (Omi Aopara) and burial mounds and grounds.
It also has diverse and variegated eco-systems of flora and fauna. Oke Idanre contains very important bio-physical and landform features whose interaction with the physical features created an enduring cultural landscape within the setting.
Since emigration downhill in 1923, the topography, vegetation as well as the fauna and floral life have remained undistributed. However, the festivals provides occasions for reconciliation of the low-landers and their natural environments as well as reenactments or historical episodes in local Idanre history and its wider Yoruba ideology, mythology and confederacy.
There is the Ogun festival, which is partly celebrated on top of the hills during the October and Ije festival, which spread over seven days.
The hill also plays host to a group of scientists and field researchers. The site is home to a group of bats and the people hold a unique festival of bats every year. The hill is being used by filmmakers as the location for many of their films. In addition, the one and only Noble Prize Winner for Literature in Africa Professor Wole Soyinka wrote his longest poem titled "Idanre and other Poems".
13. Surame Cultural Landscape
(Location: Sokoto, North West, Nigeria)
Surame Kingdom founded by Mohammadu Kanta (the great warrior) could be said to be one of the wonders of human history, creativity and ingenuity. It is also probably the most massive stone-walled constructions in West Africa.
Surame ancient kingdom existed around the 15th and 16th centuries. It is a very unique site with a surface of about 9 kilometers, in which one-third of the relics has some traces of human settlement in the form of Hausa foundations, remains of compound enclosures, wall rubbles, wells, potsherds. Other features of the site are the walls, Grates, Baobab tree, trench and ditches.
The walls partly standing still have relics of the fallen ones intact. The walls were made from millet stalks and are generally rectangular in shape. For the gates, they are of two types namely the small and great ones, which are seven in number each.
The defensive walling and the gates are made of rocks. Within the site, there is baobab tree (Kuka) which oral tradition has it that the nagging wife of kanta was thrown into its trunk in a feat of anger. While, the trench (Siradi) is the place where trial was being made to any offender in the Kingdom. If one falls inside the Siradi (trench) he is going into Wuta (hell) and anyone who escapes the Siradi is going to Aijanna (paradise).
Around the kingdom, ditches were dug throughout the circumference of the great walls and thorns were planted that made it difficult for invading army to gain entrance into the kingdom.
Mohammad kanta built fortresses to defend Surame Kingdom against Songhai reprisal attacks. The ruins of Kanta's ancient capital of 16th and 17th century Surame were the sites of 1991 archaeological excavations by Dr. Leseigang. According to oral tradition, the mode of construction of the Kingdom manifested organizational ability, the great power and authority of kanta. The labour that built the kingdom was mobilized by the king and they included slaves and his subjects.

Maddon to be hired as Rays manager
ST. PETERSBURG -- Joe Maddon is expected to be named the new manager of the Devil Rays on Tuesday. The job "is something I really want," said Maddon, 51, in a Friday interview, noting he was a good fit for the position given the skills he has which he feels are compatible with the Rays' needs.
Maddon, who was the Angels bench coach from 1996 to 2005, is a former Minor League catcher who has been in the Angels organization for 28 years. He has been a Major League coach for the past 12 seasons and was a serious candidate for the Red Sox job before Terry Francona was hired in 2003. Among Maddon's strong suits are his organizational skills and acumen crunching baseball data via the computer.
Maddon liked the idea of managing a young, developing team and working for new principal owner Stuart Sternberg and the club's unique management team.
Before his first interview, Maddon said he received a 47-page email expounding on Sternberg's philosophies for turning around the Rays' situation and came away quite impressed.

The Data Protection Act ("the Act") applies to 'personal data', which is information about individuals. It gives individuals the right to access their own personal data through subject access requests and contains rules which must be followed when personal data is processed.
it states that anyone who processes personal information must comply with the principles in the Act.
You should assume that any personal data relating to an identifiable living individual, held by the University, in any form, are covered by the Data Protection Act.
If you are going to be working remotely or using a mobile device please also see data security off-campus.
The Data Protection Act covers the processing of all 'Personal Data'. This is data which constitutes information relating to a living individual, (a 'Data Subject') and from which (either on its own or together with other information held) the individual is identifiable, so data held purely in an anonymised form is not covered.
The Data Protection Act covers data held electronically and in hard copy, regardless of where data is held. It covers data held on and off campus, and on employees' or students' mobile devices, so long as it is held for University purposes, regardless of the ownership of the device on which it is stored.
care needs to be taken to ensure that personal data is only ever obtained from a person who is legally authorised to supply it.
all personal data which is processed by the University must be covered by our registration with the Information Commissioner. Most routine uses of personal data by staff will be covered by our registration. However, if you are processing any data (for example, maintaining a database or running a research project involving the use of personal data) and think it may involve us handling new personal data for the first time or using personal data for a new purpose, please email the Data Protection team at dataprotection-queries@lists.ac.uk for advice.
personal data must not be disclosed to any third person (other than those described in the University's registration in certain circumstances), so take great care when you receive a request for data from a third party (see guidance on disclosing data).
records should also be unambiguous, accurate and professionally worded. Abbreviations should be widely agreed. Opinions should be clearly distinguishable from facts.
Personal data must not be inaccurate or misleading to any matter of fact. This applies to information from a third party. The source of information should always be included on records.
As the University needs to hold and process personal data for a variety of different legitimate reasons, it is not always possible to stipulate how long particular data should be retained.
The university has a set of policies on the retention and disposal of different types of records. For other types of data, it is often necessary to decide on a case-by-case basis when they should be destroyed.
Access to personal data will only be granted to staff insofar as is necessary for legitimate operational purposes. The personal or private use of personal data held by the university is strictly forbidden.
All staff with access to personal data must be mindful that they play a role in ensuring that it is always kept securely. They must familiarize themselves with the University's Data Protection Policy and follow our guidance on data security.
The University is committed to protecting the rights and freedoms of all individuals in relation to the processing of their personal data and provides the Data Protection Policy for everyone to follow.
We need to comply with the Data Protection Act in relation to all personal data. To ensure this happens, it has developed this policy which sets out the obligations of staff in this respect.
This policy and the Data Protection Act apply to all personal data handled by the University, both that held in paper files and data held electronically. So long as the processing of the data is carried out for University purposes, it also applies regardless of where data is held, (for example, it covers data held on campus and on mobile devices such as electronic notebooks or laptops) and regardless of who owns the PC/device on which it is stored.
'Processing' data is widely defined and includes every plausible form of action that could be taken in relation to the data such as obtaining, recording and keeping, or using it in any way; sharing or disclosing it; erasing and destroying it.
Data which relates to a living individual who can be identified from that data and other information which is in the possession of, or is likely to come into the possession of, the data controller. The University is the data controller.
Examples of personal data are the name and address of an individual or a student ID number which when put with other information held by the university could identify a student, staff member or participant in a researcher's survey. The majority of staff (including all line managers) will, therefore, handle personal data at least occasionally.
Staff working in certain research areas (eg Psychology/Health), or in certain roles (eg Student Disability Advice Service, HR, SREO) will have regular access to sensitive personal data, others are likely to do so only rarely if at all.
Data given in confidence or data agreed to be kept confidential (in other words, a secret between two parties) and that is not in the public domain.
Some confidential data will also be personal data and/or sensitive personal data and therefore come within the terms of this policy. Staff working in certain functions and in senior management roles will handle confidential data regularly.
The University also handles research data which comprises materials collected or created for the purposes of analysis to generate original research results. Some research data will contain personal data and/or sensitive personal data and in all such cases, the provisions of this policy apply. For information on how to deal with other aspects of research data see Research Data Management.
The University needs to collect and keep certain types of information about the people with whom it deals. This includes information relating to its staff, students and other individuals. It needs to process 'personal data' for a variety of reasons, such as to recruit and pay its staff, to record the academic progress of its students and to comply with statutory obligations (for example, health and safety requirements).
The Data Protection Act applies to all 'personal data' processed by the University and to comply with the law all personal data must be collected and used fairly, stored safely and not disclosed to anyone else unlawfully.
Be mindful of the fact that individuals have the right to see their 'personal data' (and this may include for example information received from prospective students or staff written in connection with an application to the University or any comments written about them in emails). They should not, therefore, record comments or other data about individuals which they would not be comfortable with the individual seeing, either in emails or elsewhere.
Immediately report the matter to their line manager and bring it to the Data Protection team's attention, if they find any lost or discarded data which they believe contains personal data, (for example, may include a memory stick).
Hold the contents of any personal data which comes into their possession securely.
Ensure that any personal data they provide to the University (for example, their contact details) is accurate.
Notify the University promptly of any changes to their personal data (for example, change of address or emergency contact details).
Only ever obtain or use personal data relating to third parties for approved work or study-related purposes.
Data Security - ensure any personal data which is held is always kept and disposed of securely, (taking into account any cybersecurity considerations).
Non-disclosure - ensure personal data is not disclosed to any unauthorised third party.
Familiarise themselves with the guidance and other information published on our Data Protection site and follow it at all times.
If they are going to be working remotely or using a mobile device to store data (for example, a laptop, tablet or mobile phone), it is vital that they are familiar with our Remote Working & Use of Mobile Device Guidance, and comply with it and the University's IT Security Policy as special considerations apply.
Be mindful of the scope of Data Protection regulations. This includes that fact that 'personal data' is widely defined, (and so will cover for example comments made about an individual in an email to someone else), and the fact that it covers data held on remote devices (such as tablets and on mobile phones) regardless of who owns the actual device and where the device is stored.
Seek advice whenever a new or novel form of processing personal data is contemplated or if any data protection related concerns ever arise.
We hold certain information about staff and students in the public domain. Personal data classified as being in the 'public domain' refers to information which will be publicly available worldwide and may be disclosed to third parties without recourse to the data subject.
any additional information relating to data subjects which they have agreed to be placed in the public domain and which may be in automated and/or manual form.
Similarly, as part of its regular business activities, the University may process personal information about third parties which is already in the public domain where such processing is carried out in accordance with the Data Protection Act principles set out below and is unlikely to cause any damage or distress to the data subject.
Be obtained and processed fairly, lawfully and transparently.
Be processed for specified explicit and lawful purposes and shall not be processed in any manner incompatible with these purposes.
Not be kept for any longer than is necessary.

Q: Help solving the inequality $2^n \leq (n+1)!$, n is integer I need help solving the following inequality I encountered in the middle of a proof in my calculus I textbook:
$2^n \leq (n+1)!$
Where $\mathbf{n}$ in an integer.
I've tried applying lg to both members, but got stuck at:
$n \leq \lg(n+1) + \lg(n) + \lg(n-1) + ... + \lg(3) + 1$
A proof by induction is acceptable, but I wanted an algebraic one. I find it more... elegant?

A: $(n+1)!=2\cdot 3\cdot \dots\cdot(n+1)$ here a product of $n$ numbers all are at least 2 so the result follows...

A: HINT:
$$\frac{(n+1)!}{2^n}=\frac{2}{2}\frac{3}{2}\frac{4}{2}\cdots \frac{n-1}{2}\frac{n}{2}\frac{n+1}{2}$$

Meet the Crafts & Cranks Brewers
Crafts & Cranks is just around the corner and we have 19 West Coast Premier Craft Breweries that will be there showcasing their best in class brews! Here is a preview of a few breweries that will be at this years brewfest and bike race!
For more information on the event, visit www.craftsandcranks.com!
Coachella Valley Brewing Co.
Coachella Valley brewing company employs a state of the art 17 Barrel Brewhouse, the H.E.B.S. or high efficiency brew system and is one of five in operation on the planet. The heart of the system is mash filtration technology. We do not use a mash tun/lauter tun combo and instead press the mash through a filter press thereby increasing our mash efficiency to 95-98%. As compared to mash/lauter tun systems the H.E.B.S. is capable of producing a 17 barrel batch every two hours while using 60% less water and producing 65% less spent grain solids. This systematic approach to brewing combined with green technology relative to our cleaning and sanitation practices poises Coachella Valley Brewing as a leader in producing high quality beers while being mindful of the environment. We are proud to have partnered up with many of the amazing local farmers and East Valley agriculture industry leaders using various locally grown sustainable ingredients to create our farm to glass Locally Crafted line of brews.
Dale Bros Brewery
Dale Bros is a craft brewery and tap room in Upland, CA. We brew the kind of beer we like to drink. Beer that's smooth, balanced and that pairs up well with food. Turns out other people like to drink it, too. Sometimes, they even like it enough to give it a gold medal (or two.) We're not brewing beer to put trophies on our mantels, but it's nice to be appreciated.
From the first foamy sip to the last, our goal has always been to create beer that tastes great. Our base ingredients are deceptively simple: San Francisco Lager Yeast. Two-Row Malt. Yet the fullness and depth of flavor come from knowing how to make those ingredients (and a few select others) shine.
Iron Fist Brewing Co.
Iron Fist Brewing Company is a family owned brewery located in Vista, California, smack-dab in the middle of the exciting San Diego craft beer scene. Our passion for the best hand crafted beer prompted us to make a lot of it. However, we quickly realized we were making a bit more than we could drink ourselves, so we decided to sell whatever we don't drink to you. So do yourself a favor; start a little revolution. It's ok. We won't tell on you. Put the 500 pack of light lager back with all its buddies and rule your taste with an Iron Fist!
Karl Strauss Brewing Company
Karl Strauss Brewing Company is a regional craft brewery based in San Diego, California. Founded in 1989, it was the first brewery to open in San Diego in more than 50 years. Today, Karl Strauss is the 39th largest craft brewer in the United States, and one of the fastest growing craft brands in the Western Region – all with sole distribution in the Golden State.
Karl Strauss brews more than 30 different styles of beer at its 60-barrel Main Brewery in San Diego's Pacific Beach, and seven satellite Brewery Restaurants across Southern California. Beer offerings include perennial favorites like the multi-award-winning Red Trolley Ale and Tower 10 IPA, as well as innovative special releases in Karl's Coastal Reserve Series and Imperial Collection.
As San Diego's craft beer pioneer, Karl Strauss Brewing Company proudly serves more than 3,000 local businesses in California, including bars, restaurants, retail stores, hotels, airports, and theme parks. From grocery chains like Albertsons, Ralphs, and Vons to its "Beer Truck" at Disney's California Adventure, California craft beer-fans are always within reach of a Karl Strauss beer. Share it. Cheers.
From points distant and beyond we all converged on Petaluma in 1993 and '94 with an unenunciated desire to be more than we were before. The core of Lagunitas came from Chicago, St Louis, Memphis, Walker Creek, and the highlands of Quincy.
The Chicago contingent initiated the brewing and the gravitational effect of its suchness did the rest. We all loved the beer but the mission was larger than the ordinary joy of a hoppy-sweet quaff. It was driven unseen by an urge to communicate with people, to find our diasporidic tribe, and to connect with other souls adrift on a culture that had lost its center and spun its inhabitants to the four winds to wander lost and bereft with a longing to re-enter the light. Beer, we have learned, has always been a good lubricant for social intercourse!
The Lagunitas Brewing Co. was not so much an act of ordinary 'foundling' as it was willed into being by the unspoken desire of supportive beer-lovers in Northern California after which they continued to nurture their creation and urged us forward to fulfill the unifying needs of that same beer-loving diaspora from coast to coast and beyond. It is good to have friends!
Lightning Brewery
In the case of Lightning Brewery, following one's heart has proven a winning solution. In just 6 years selling craft beer to the public, Lightning Brewery styles have won 30 nationally recognized beer awards, including a coveted Best in Show. To win a Best in Show, a beer must receive a gold medal in its category and then go on to beat all gold medal winners in all categories. In 2010, Lightning's Elemental Pilsner won the gold in its category at the California State Fair Commercial Craft Beer Competition and then beat 37 other beers in all other categories to receive an Honorable Mention Second Runner Up, one step down from Best in Show.
In 2012, Lightning's Old Tempestuous Ale went the whole way, beating hundreds of other entries to win both the gold in its category and then going on to beat 60 other gold medal winners to win First Place, Best in Show of all entrants.
Ritual Brewing Co.
Ritual Brewing Co. in Redlands, California was founded by tw o guys with a true passion for great beer: Steve Dunkerken and Owen Williams.
A few years ago, Steve had invited Owen over to his place for a homebrewing session. At the time the guys were loosely acquainted with one another and Owen politely declined. Truth was that this industry veteran didn't see the point in hanging out and homebrewing with a few plastic buckets. A visit from the head brewer of a well-known San Diego County brewery lured Owen over to Steve's place. Once Owen saw what Steve was up to in his garage he went back for a few more brewing sessions.
At the time, Owen had recently left his long time gig as Director of Brewing Operations for BJ's Brewhouse and Restaurants and dreamed of his own brewery but he was unsure about going it alone. Steve had been asked many times if he ever thought about opening a brewery. While it's something that occupies a corner of most homebrewers minds it was something that didn't seem practical to Steve – at least the part about hanging up a great career and venturing off on his own. Together they had the right mix of brewing and business experience and a common passion for brewing great beer. It didn't take many brewing sessions in Steve's garage for these two to start creating Ritual Brewing Co.
Tap It Brewing
At Tap It Brewing Company, we're a family of craft beer lovers. We're true to our roots and true to our word. We like to take a laid-back approach to almost everything we do. But there's one thing we are absolutely serious about—our beer.
The Gordon Family began brewing in what use to be an old warehouse in San Luis Obispo, California. We quickly became known for our handcrafted and award-winning, all-American beers. Our warehouse became a great hangout and the rest is history. Today you can join us in our Tap Room and watch the brewers in action while you enjoy one of our full-flavored craft beers.
We strip our water down to the barest possible state and revamp with minerals to brew our beers just the way you like it. Whether it's our dark, rich full-blown stout, or our smooth finish pale ales with just the right amount of snap, or our gold medal winning IPA with a distinctive, crisp, pleasurable, full-body taste, we are dedicated to sharing our passion for delicious beer with our ever-growing family of craft beer-loving fans.
The Dudes' Brewing Company
When the Dudes' was founded in Los Angeles, there were several incredible beers being crafted locally, but LA had not yet made a name for itself in the craft beer world. That's why the Dudes' goal is to help put Los Angeles Craft beer on the map both locally and nationally. In Southern California, we're spoiled with an abundance of sunny days, and we're known for our laid back attitudes and beach life – all of which we aim to bring to you in each brew we make. That's why we like to say, "Happy Dudes' make great brews, and great brews make people happy." Enjoy!
Meet the Crafts & Cranks Brewers!
Absolution Brewing Company
We operate on a much simpler and smaller converted 7 barrel grundy. This direct-fire system provides us with the opportunity to truly brew in an Old World style. We concentrate on crafting high quality small batch beers 5 to 6 barrels at a time (gotta have room for that boiling froth at the top). We use single infusion mashing in our open mash tun, though we do some decoction on occasion.
All of our fermenters are glycol jacketed open fermenters that allow for temperature- controlled fermentation. While these fermenters may be open, they are always lidded to prevent contamination from floating in on the breeze. Each fermenter is capable of converting 12 barrels of wort into our fine beers, so most of our brews are double-batched to fill our fermenters.
Angle City Brewery
Angel City Brewery is excited to be part of the brewing renaissance of Downtown LA by bringing old-world, small-batch, craft brewing to the new world of the expanding Arts District. We are committed to the continued growth and revitalization of our neighborhood by being an interactive and supportive partner to the arts and business communities, as well as the burgeoning craft beer movement in Los Angeles.
Angel City Brewing was founded in 1997. Starting modestly, Angel City quickly became a leader in the LA craft beer scene. In 2004 Angel City bought an 8,000 barrel German-made brewery in Alpine Village near Los Angeles on EBay! and lovingly restored the facility. In late 2010, Angel City relocated the brewery to the historic John A. Roebling Building in LA's Downtown Arts District. The vision was, and remains, to give this great city a great brewery.
On January 5, 2012, Angel City Brewery was acquired by Alchemy & Science, a craft beer collaboration led by Alan Newman and Stacey Steinmetz, formerly of Magic Hat Brewing Company.
Since January 2012, we've undergone massive renovations, including the addition of a new mustache bar. We began brewing in April of 2012, and started popping up in local LA bars and restaurants soon thereafter.
In February 2013, we opened the doors to the Brewery and Public House, but with limited hours as construction continued. We offer an ever-rotating selection of Angel City beer on tap, which includes a number of beers exclusively available at the Brewery. In addition to pints and flights, we offer brewery tours,events, and a great place to gather with friends. We have a small on-site retail store as well. Outside food is always welcome, and there are a number of great locations in our neighborhood that offer take out. In addition to the neighborhood cuisine, our parking lot has become a hot spot for food trucks, with one parked outside nearly every night we're open. On May 5th, 2013 we had our grand opening with our first ever Heritage Festival. We're now seven days a week for brewery tours and tastings, and we have full roster of weekly events.
If you're looking for our beer outside of the brewery, we are available on draft and in bottle at a number of locations around LA. Click here to find us in your neighborhood.

Backstreet Brewery
Backstreet Brewery opened its doors in 1998 in Irvine, CA. Establishing itself as an Orange County pioneer in craft brewing, Backstreet Brewery immediately became a local favorite. Set inside the well established Lamppost Pizza, the brewery and pub style bar immediately earned a reputation for its universal craft beer appeal, atmosphere, and inventive microbrew character. In 2004, Backstreet Brewery opened another location in Vista, CA; again, spearheading a craft beer surge in North County San Diego, and leading the way to reinventing the city of Vista. The latest installment is a tasting room and production facility in the city of Anaheim. This facility opened in August 2015 and right down the street from Anaheim Stadium and many other fantastic breweries and restaurants.
After years of operating as an award winning microbrewery and pub, Backstreet Brewery plunged into the world of craft beer bottling in February 2014. Beginning with four different styles of craft beer: Tomahawk Double IPA, Set Sail IPA, Rita Red Ale, and Rydin' Dirty Rye IPA, Backstreet Brewery began supplying Orange County with 22 oz. bottles of local craft brew straight from its original location in Irvine. BSB will be consistently releasing new beers to the bottling line.
Backstreet Brewery has continued to grow and expand as a family run establishment with deep roots in the local communities throughout Southern California. In addition, Backstreet Brewery has evolved its online presence through social media and various web applications, while participating in beer festivals, tastings, and competitions. As a pioneer of craft beer in Orange County, Backstreet Brewery plans to continue its expansion and grow its operation within the craft beer industry.
After developing a taste for beer in college, founder Jack White decided to try making more interesting beer than he could find in the store or at a keg party. Jack, along with his college roommate Pete A'Hearn, began home brewing in their apartment at UCLA and soon realized it wasn't easy to get access to the various supplies and ingredients he wanted—nor did he have anyone with whom to trade ideas about brewing.
In 1992, Jack opened Home Brew Mart, which he filled with the supplies, ingredients, and conversation every brewer needed to make better beer at home. His plan was to one day take this hobby to the pro level and start a brewery. Around the same time, Pete went off to UC Davis to get his master brewer's certificate – they soon found a collaborator in Yuseff Cherney, a fellow home brewer with a similar passion and a set of home brewing awards to boot. Yuseff became Home Brew Mart's first employee and was part of the team to open a "back room" brewery behind the shop. In 1996, Ballast Point Brewing was born.
Belching Beaver Brewery
Belching Beaver does not brew good beer. We brew truly great beer. Currently, we are crafting 7 distinct beers that range from blondes to stouts, which are sure to please anyone's tastes. Our first priority is using quality ingredients to create the beer recipes at our microbrewery. When we decided to move forward with the brewery, we told Troy not to worry about how much money we were spending on ingredients. With a name like Belching Beaver, we better have great beer or we would be the biggest joke in town. We contracted our hops before we found a location or even bought equipment. I told Troy that I would throw any beer out and delay opening unless it was perfect. In truth, we had no worries because Troy makes great beer. He did not disappoint! As my wife would say, "It's fabulous." Our customers say, "They're all fabulous." As Dave would say…well he would sniff out each aroma hop, and then describe the grapefruit flavors, the honey overtones and the crisp clean orange peel that delights the palate. I just say, "Man, great beer!"
Boomtown Brewery
Established in 2014, Boomtown Brewery is a safe haven for locals, art, local artists, and anyone striving to make a craft something that it used to be, art.
In the mid 1800's, Boomtowns in California were the number one reason people moved west in the United States. Lured by potential riches and excitement, tens of thousands moved to California to various overnight success-story towns, with one purpose in mind…to make it, and make it big. Some of those towns ceased to exist after very short periods; others remained until the "well" ran dry.
Los Angeles, in particular, maintains the same allure for thousands of people that move here every year to pursue their dreams in a myriad of industries, giving it a constant injection of people with aspirations to make their mark. The arts industry in Los Angeles remains one of the most influential in the world, thus creating an undying boom that has made this city, and its inhabitants, the mecca of creativity it is today.
It is with that in mind that we embarked on a journey to bring artisan beer to those artists, and to embrace both their creativity and community. Boomtown Brewery will not only craft old world, unfiltered, gravity fed, full flavored beers with integrity; it will be a showcase for local artists through events, galleries, and by simply being a creative local establishment. We want everything about Boomtown to be a haven and an expression of what our home, the Arts District in Los Angeles, is all about.
Boomtown will have every label designed by local artists, as well as furnishings, fixtures, and structures. Boomtown will be a community where people can gather to enjoy beer, games, to express themselves creatively, and to hang with like-minded people. We will host a variety of events ranging from live music shows to gallery showings, benefits, block parties, bicycle rides, etc. All in the name of contributing to the creative community that is "The Los Angeles Arts District".
Bootlegger's Brewery
Bootlegger's Brewery began as the brainchild of experienced homebrewer and beer lover Aaron Barkenhagen. Aaron developed the business concept and business plan while enrolled in the Entrepreneurship program at California State University, Fullerton. The envisioned brewery would be a small artisan brewery supplying the local community and beyond with fresh and unique handcrafted beer.
With the support of family and friends, Aaron continued to lead the development and construction of Bootlegger's Brewery in Fullerton, CA. It took almost a full year of construction and licensing to complete the small brewery on Richman Ave. The resulting brewery was a humble 7 barrel brewhouse with three fermenters and plenty of space to grow.
After over 2 years of planning and building, Fullerton's first packaging microbrewery opened its doors and delivered its first keg in April 2008.
While the brewery continues to expand distribution and production capacity, Bootlegger's Brewery stays true to the original plan; build a local artisan brewery supported by local businesses and consumers while continuing to make the highest quality and most unique beer possible. "Drink Fresh, Drink Local" is the motto at Bootlegger's Brewery and while there is constant expansion of production and distribution, no matter where Bootlegger's beer ends up, the brewery is determined to continue to brew beer not far from where it's sold.
In 1984, Jim Koch discovered his great-great grandfather's recipe for Louis Koch Lager in his father's attic.
Looking to follow his family's passion for brewing, Jim brewed the recipe in his kitchen with the hopes of challenging the status quo in the American beer industry. He started by introducing American drinkers to craft-brewed beers that were full-flavored, balanced, and complex, and brewed with quality ingredients. Pleased with his brew, Jim started The Boston Beer Company with his co-founder and first employee, Rhonda Kallman. In those first months, Jim walked bar-to-bar with a briefcase full of beer that he called Samuel Adams Boston Lager, in recognition of one of our nation's great founding fathers, a revolutionary man of independent mind and spirit. Boston Lager soon became a catalyst of the American craft beer revolution, making its public debut in Boston on Patriot's Day in April 1985. Six weeks after its introduction, Boston Lager was selected as "The Best Beer in America" in The Great American Beer Festival's Consumer Preference Poll, which became an award Samuel Adams Boston Lager went on to win an unprecedented four times.
