While Malaysians celebrated Deepavali public holiday, we had the fantastic experience of assisting an international video production crew in shooting at various interesting locations in Kuala Lumpur.
The ambitious TV commercial was managed by SeeMe Productions of Pakistan, with award-winning director Anders Forsman of Sweden at the helm. The production took them to London, New York, Dubai, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur over a span of a month.
Kuala Lumpur was their last stop and they had high-expectations of getting the perfect shots in one day. The fact that they chose Deepavali day as the date of shooting made things very challenging, as one of the locations selected for the shoot was Batu Caves!
Nevertheless, in cooperation with professional local production house Avvassi Productions, we defied all odds with just barely 3 weeks to plan and organise the necessary manpower, professional equipment, logistics, props, authority approvals, talents and more.
The shoot began at 6.00am at KLCC, moving on to Central Market in the afternoon and then to Batu Caves in the evening, wrapping up at 6.30pm.
To be part of this grand production and all the effort, for a mere 13 seconds of Malaysia’s finest destinations in this international TV commercial, made it all so worthwhile.
Here is the final edit of the TV Commercial. See if you can spot Malaysia among the many wonders of the world! | geography |

The storm dropped historic precipitation over a wide northeastern swath stretching from Philadelphia to Massachusetts and hit the New York metro area particularly hard. The entire region was subjected to a flash flood emergency for most of Wednesday night, and more than 3 inches of rain was recorded in Central Park in just an hour. Flash floods turned roads into river rapids and inundated homes and apartments. At least 41 people died in the storm and authorities are still looking for some people missing in the flood.
Biden is expected to travel to two of the hardest hit areas – New York and Manville, New Jersey – on Tuesday to assess the damage.
The disaster reports cover Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Westchester County in New York as well as Bergen, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Passaic and Somerset counties in New Jersey.
This means that residents and business owners affected by flooding and other damage can apply for a host of Federal Emergency Management Administration programs to clean up, make repairs, and secure temporary housing.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul said on Sunday Wednesday’s storm caused at least $ 50 million in damage; the state had to prove at least $ 30 million in damages to have a disaster declaration approved. The dollar amount in New Jersey was not available – and Ida’s true cost in the tri-state area probably won’t be known for some time.
But the statements, which were released on Sunday, do not include some areas that suffered damage during Ida. In New York City, Manhattan is the most notable exception – but the county is eligible for certain federal government assistance programs.
In New Jersey, Hudson County was excluded from the disaster declaration, prompting Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop to call Governor Phil Murphy.
“It is absolutely insane / shameful that Hudson County was not included on this list,” he tweeted to his fellow Democrat. “We had the storm as severe as any county in NJ with a higher population density. I urge you to work with our federal officials to resolve this issue.
Fulop added that the damage to Jersey City’s infrastructure alone exceeded $ 35 million, above the threshold for a disaster declaration.
Murphy, visiting flood-damaged areas of Lambertville on Labor Day, said Biden’s declaration of major disaster will allow individuals to receive assistance, including grants for temporary housing and home repairs and low cost loans to cover losses of uninsured property. He added that he would speak to Biden during his visit about the addition of other counties to the major disaster declaration.
In New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio, Senator Chuck Schumer and United States Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spent part of the morning visiting the storm damage in Queens with Deanne Criswell, the former chief of the emergency management of the city which is now the administrator of the federal emergency. Management agency.
A resident greeted de Blasio with an arm over his shoulder and a joke about their flooded homes.
“Welcome to Woodside,” she said. “We have swimming pools in every house. So you can put on your swimsuit and swim with us.
In the Hudson Valley, Metro-North said commuter rail service would return to rush hour Tuesday morning after crews removed several feet of mud from the tracks and restored faded slopes and ballast. Two of the four tracks on the Hudson Line remain out of service for repairs between Riverdale and Tarrytown.
At least 17 people have died in New York after the historic and devastating Ida floods last week. In the early hours of the storm, neighborhoods saw a month of rain in just one hour, catching millions of people by surprise as floodwaters quickly flooded the streets and poured into countless basements.
It is the speed of the deadly storm that the governor wants to be prepared for in the near and distant future.
“I guess it could happen again in 10 days,” Hochul said while calling for an improved warning system.
In anticipation of future climate threats, the governor announced millions of federal dollars that she planned to allocate to storm resilience. Hochul said there is $ 378 million in risk migration funding previously awarded by FEMA that will be redirected to improved infrastructure. She called on local authorities to help her identify projects that require immediate attention.
“I ask all of our local elected officials: tell me where the challenges are, tell me what you know that could happen in a week if the same weather event occurs and we will go straight to these places first.”
Hochul also encourages New Yorkers to check out the newest online resource to find additional information about applying for FEMA financial assistance and accessing shelter and food.

The first year consists of primarily inpatient clinical rotations, with fellows rotating between each primary hospital – Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital – as well as the Boston VA Healthcare System.
Brigham and Women’s Hospital
Brigham and Women’s Hospital is an 800-bed hospital in the heart of the Longwood Medical Area, home to Harvard Medical School. BWH is world renowned for its clinical and basic investigations into acute kidney injury, as the site of the first kidney transplant, and as the institution that developed the Kolff-Brigham kidney that made it possible to sustain life on dialysis. BWH and its affiliated hospitals serve a diverse patient population including the Mission Hill, Roslindale, Jamaica Plain, and Hyde Park neighborhoods of Boston, and its health centers extend to the southern and western suburbs, down to Foxborough and Gillette Stadium. BWH also benefits from a robust international referral base including cases from all 50 states and internationally from Bermuda to the Middle East and beyond. From bread and butter diabetes and hypertension to the rarest of presentations, fellows at BWH will see it all. The BWH renal services are divided into consult, ICU, dialysis and transplant services. BWH will feature exposure to SLE and autoimmune diseases, extensive onco-nephrology, given the close proximity and formal affiliation with Dana Farber Cancer Institute, as well as complex renal transplant cases and a robust solid organ transplant program including heart and lung transplants as well as ventricular assistive devices. BWH also serves a large outpatient dialysis population, both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, and features a thriving interventional nephrology program managing all aspects of dialysis access.
Massachusetts General Hospital
Massachusetts General Hospital, the oldest and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, is a 1000-bed hospital situated on the banks of the Charles River and bordering Beacon Hill. MGH houses the largest hospital-based research program in the world, is consistently the top ranked hospital in the Northeast by U.S. News and World Report, and is the only adult hospital in New England to offer all types of transplants currently available. MGH and its affiliated hospitals serve a diverse patient population from nearby Beacon Hill and the North and West Ends of Boston to the North Shore, including Cambridge, Medford, Revere, and Chelsea, with opportunities to impact disadvantaged communities. MGH is similarly divided into four services – consult, ICU, dialysis and transplant. MGH is an international referral center and fellows will see everything, from rare presentations of routine conditions, to the rarest of disorders. MGH fellows will gain extensive exposure to ANCA, anti-GBM and other vasculitides through the world-renowned MGH Vasculitis and Glomerulonephritis Center, as well as extensive experience in renal transplant, especially living donor transplantation, as well as hepatorenal syndrome and renal consequences of liver transplantation. MGH also boasts a world-renowned calcific uremic arteriopathy (“calciphylaxis”) multidisciplinary program. Finally, like BWH, MGH serves a large outpatient hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis population, and has an extensive access program staffed collaboratively between interventional nephrologists and radiologists.
VA Boston Healthcare System
The VA Boston Healthcare System (VABHS) cares for over 50,000 patients annually. The VA rotation alternates weeks at the West Roxbury VA, home to the inpatient service, and the Jamaica Plain VA, home to the continuity clinics and outpatient dialysis unit. Veterans served by the VABHS present with the full array of renal pathology, and the VA experience also exposes fellows to systems based practice within a closed healthcare system that takes full responsibility for patient care across the care continuum – the original accountable care organization. First year fellows benefit from the one-on-one attention of devoted faculty at the VA, while setting aside time to read and solidify their learning on what is generally a lighter rotation.
First year fellows attend weekly continuity clinics with an assigned preceptor from each primary hospital. Both BWH and MGH offer a mixture of general nephrology and transplant clinic opportunities, as well as sub-specialty clinics such as onco-nephrology or vasculitis clinics to which fellows can be assigned. As second years, fellows often choose to continue in their same continuity clinic at their identified academic home, although fellows can also explore new clinic experiences in second year and beyond.
Overnights at BWH and MGH are covered by a night float fellow Sunday through Friday nights from 8pm-6am. A short call fellow remains in each hospital until 8pm for any late day consults or dialysis needs. Saturdays are “long call” days covered by a first year fellow at each hospital until the next morning.
Night Float duties are covered primarily by second year fellows one week at a time for four weeks each over the course of the year. One night float fellow covers both BWH and MGH with the VA fellow and the attendings on the respective services available in the event of simultaneous needs at both hospitals. First years do one week of Night Float each during first year. There is limited Night Float the weeks of ASN Kidney Week, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s and the In-Training Exam with most nights those weeks covered as “long call” by an assigned first year fellow each night at each hospital.
First-year fellows have two weeks of electives. This includes a one-week selective focused on interventional nephrology and access management where they evaluate dialysis accesses in access clinic as well as observe and participate in access procedures including temporary and tunneled catheter placements and fistulograms and interventions including thrombectomy, angioplasty, and stenting. Options for the second elective week include: (1) Outpatient and home dialysis; (2) renal pathology; (3) Pediatric nephrology; (4) glomerulonephritis and onco-nephrology; and (5) renal palliative care.
Each fellow has 4 weeks of vacation that can be taken in one- or two-week increments, divided evenly between the two halves of the year. Second and third years have four weeks of vacation per year that they can utilize as they wish, coordinating any time off with their continuity clinic attending and any other clinical duties. | geography |

Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services can offer significant advantages, such as cost savings, access to a skilled workforce, and the ability to focus on core business functions. Yet, the risks associated with data breaches and intellectual property concerns cannot be overlooked. Protecting confidential information and maintaining data integrity is essential, especially in a digital age where cyber threats are ever-present.
Two prominent outsourcing options to consider are nearshore and offshore outsourcing. Nearshore outsourcing, in particular, is exceptional in reducing the risks associated with data breaches and intellectual property concerts. Organizations can efficiently optimize their operations thanks to factors like geographic proximity and commonly shared regulations.
Understanding Nearshore and Offshore Outsourcing
Before diving into the security aspects of nearshore outsourcing, let’s briefly differentiate between nearshore and offshore outsourcing.
Nearshore outsourcing involves partnering with service providers located in neighboring or nearby countries, typically within the same region or time zone as the outsourcing company. For businesses in North America, this could mean outsourcing customer service or software development services to countries in Latin America or Canada.
Nearshore outsourcing typically brings many benefits, like:
- Minimal time zone differences, allowing for easier collaboration and communication
- Lower travel costs for occasional in-person meetings
- Cultural affinity and shared context from geographic proximity
Offshore outsourcing, on the other hand, involves collaborating with service providers situated in distant countries, often in different continents. Popular offshore outsourcing destinations include countries in Asia, such as India and the Philippines.
These services bring perks such as:
- Significantly lower labor costs due to lower wages in the provider’s country
- Access to a larger talent pool by expanding the search globally
- Time zone differences that can enable 24/7 productivity
Common Security Considerations in Nearshore and Offshore Outsourcing
Outsourcing software development and other critical services introduces potential data security risks that must be evaluated. When partnering with an external vendor, proprietary code, databases, and other sensitive assets may be exposed. Failing to secure data and intellectual property properly can lead to theft, leaks, compliance violations, and loss of competitive advantage.
A primary concern is ensuring strong access controls. Giving outsourcing partners excessive access rights to systems can enable data exfiltration or malicious actions. As such, access should be limited to only what is necessary for the vendor to complete their contracted work.
Additionally, encryption is critical for securing data in transit and at rest. Networks, endpoints, databases, code repositories, and other systems must be encrypted. Proper key management procedures must also be in place. | geography |

https://sundayspritz.com/blog/nozawa-things-to-do-onsen-resort | 2019-09-22T06:35:35 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514575168.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20190922053242-20190922075242-00169.warc.gz | 0.932473 | 990 | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-39__0__68173625 | en | This guide shares the top 5 things to do in the Japanese hot springs and ski resort town of Nozawa Onsen.
Japan’s Niseko has found worldwide acclaim as a premier ski destination, but just a train ride away from Tokyo, another, more unassuming ski town finds visitors falling in love: Nozawa Onsen. Located in the northern part of Nagano Prefecture, the hot springs and ski town of 5,000 draws both Tokyo weekenders and a small, in-the-know crowd of international visitors. Here's my list of top things to do during your visit to Nozawa Onsen.
1. Ski fresh powder at Nozawa Onsen resort.
Though it's not a big power player, Nozawa Onsen's ski resort boasts a vertical drop of 1,085 meters and wonderfully soft powder. With the terrain pretty evenly divvied up among advanced, intermediate, and beginner, there's something for everyone here.
The resort feels like an intimate, family run joint with two gondola lifts and 18 ski lifts. It's very much polar opposite of the super-commercial ski resorts of Tahoe or Colorado. Lift tickets are a fraction of the cost of a Colorado mountain (a one-day adult pass is 4,300 yen - or $43 USD!), so you can ski a couple of days guilt-free. Japan doesn't really have a strong apres ski culture, but you can definitely get some cold Asahis on the mountain. Snow season runs from December until May.
2. Bathe in one of the public hot springs.
Off the slopes, visitors love enjoying good soak in a soto no yu, or public hot springs bath. Relax in one of the 13 public baths, which are open from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm. There are typically areas for changing, storing your clothes, and rinsing off before you get in the bath, but bring your own towel from your ryokan. The mineral water in Nozawa is nearly scaldingly hot, so be careful getting in.
The baths are a deeply rooted part of the village and are open to all, free of charge. Outside the onsens, there are little boxes for donations. Locals clean and maintain the baths, so be sure to study up on onsen etiquette.
3. Stay at a traditional ryokan.
Stay a night or two at a ryokan—a traditional Japanese inn, commonly found near scenic areas away from the city. Typical ryokans are a little pricier than a western hotel room, but often include dinner and/or breakfast in the price.
Ryokan rooms have tatami floors and futons for sleeping; usually, there's a common bathing area that pipes in hot springs water. (Many also offer western-style beds, though, if you're not comfortable sleeping on the floor.)
During our time in Nozawa, we stayed at the Kawamotoya Ryokan for about $160 USD a night. I try to include a ryokan stay on every trip to Japan—there's something about them that's so peaceful and meditative.
Location : 8955 Toyosato, Nozawa Onsen Mura, Shimo Takai Gun 389-2502
4. See the Jigokudani snow monkeys.
Humans aren't the only ones who love a hot bath. Over 160 Macaque monkeys live in Jigokudani, which means "Hell's Valley." You'll take a short hike up to their habitat, where you'll find snow monkeys playing, tussling, and bathing blissfully in the natural hot springs.
There are also some human-friendly baths and shower facilities on-site, plus a toasty little soba shop. If you aren't driving yourself, most ryokans in the area can help you organize a trip.
Jigokudani Yaen-Koen Snow Monkey Park
Location : 6845 Heion, Yamanouchi-machi, Shimotakai-gun 381-0401, Nagano Prefecture
Price : ¥800/adult, ¥400/child (up to age 17)
5. Eat an onsen tamago, a hot springs egg.
It turns out temperature-stable geothermal hot spring waters have the exact level of heat needed to make wonderfully soft-cooked eggs. You'll come across spots around town where shell-on eggs are cooking in hot spring water. They make for the silkiest eggs!
Several of the onsens have little boxes located outside with hot springs running through them. You can drop the eggs in before you get in, and they'll be perfectly done when you emerge. | geography |

Dear CBOAC Members & Potential Members:
The County Building Officials Association of California (CBOAC) provides an opportunity for building officials to be more prepared, confident and ready to perform our duties. California has some of the most knowledgeable and experienced building officials to be found and through the CBOAC we’re able to access those building officials and benefit from many collective years of experience.
This resource has never been more important, building officials throughout the state face new or expanded roles and responsibilities. More and more we go beyond applying building code requirements, we evaluate the impact of development with a more holistic eye on the community, the infrastructure, our natural resources and the environment. Beyond traditional application of the building codes we apply ever increasing energy requirements, green building requirements, clean-water requirements, FEMA related regulations, accessibility requirements and a host of other local, state and federal requirements. | geography |

There has been an enormous amount of amazing local non-fiction in recent months – and here’s a taster of one of those releases. Volcanoes and Earthquakes by Sarah and Gordon Ell is part of Oratia’s ‘The NZ Series’ and this extract is reproduced with permission.
By bringing molten rocks to the surface, volcanoes can deposit useful minerals on the surface of the earth. The molten rock (magma) may cool in various forms such as andesite or basalt. Inside these rocks there may be crystals or precious metals. Their composition is determined by the kinds of rock beneath the earth, and the effects on them of heat.
Magma flowing from the mouth of a volcano is known as lava. Sometimes it flows quite swiftly, forming a surface skin, while molten rock, at 1000°C or more, rushes underneath like an underground river. At other times it moves slowly, twisting and breaking as it cools, into piles of broken rock and scoria. There may be ‘bombs’ of rock thrown from the volcano as molten lumps, reshaped as they cool, falling to earth like giant stone teardrops.
Sometimes [lava] flows quite swiftly, forming a surface skin, while molten rock, at 1000°C or more, rushes underneath like an underground river.
Rock formations caused by flowing rivers of basalt are sometimes called pahoehoe, and produce billowing shapes, pillows of lava as may be seen in the cliffs at Oamaru and at Muriwai, west of Auckland. The broken surface of the rock produced by an aa (pronounced ‘ah-ah’) type eruption can be seen on Rangitoto Island and the scoria fields about the Auckland volcanoes, and at Mt Tongariro.
Tephra is a name used by geologists to describe material ejected as particles by a volcano (rather than lava, which flows as a mass of molten rock). Volcanic ash is a form of tephra, not the remains of something that has been burned like wood ash, for there is little burning in the volcano. The ‘smoke’ and ‘fire’ we may see during a volcanic eruption are actually gases escaping from the molten rock. Much of that gas is steam, and most ‘smoke’ coming out of a volcano is ash-charged steam.
Under New Zealand, the Australian and Pacific plates grind against each other, causing earthquakes and allowing molten rock to reach the surface and escape as volcanoes. (image: Tim Galloway)
These gases, erupting with the molten rock, may roar up into the sky in vast clouds. Volcanic ash and pumice then coat the land surrounding the volcano. Pumice is a rock light enough to float on water: gas has filled it with holes which help it float. Pumice from the central North Island is often found on west coast beaches, washed down to the sea by the Waikato River.
Volcanic eruptions may vary in violence with the amount of gas built up in the molten rock. Where the rock is free-flowing the volcano may erupt quite gently, the basalt lava streaming away from the crater, as the gases escape easily into the atmosphere. This is how the little volcanoes of the Auckland isthmus were born.
Where the rock is thick and tacky, in its molten form, then it is difficult for the gases to escape. The result may be a catastrophic explosion. In such a way, great clouds of gas lifted the heart out of Lake Taupo in a huge eruption recorded as a darkening of the skies by the ancient Greeks and Romans, on the other side of the earth. Molten rock is carried high into the air, often expanding with the gases, to form great showers of pumice which then falls on the land.
[…Great] clouds of gas lifted the heart out of Lake Taupo in a huge eruption recorded as a darkening of the skies by the ancient Greeks and Romans, on the other side of the earth.
In another kind of eruption, gas may escape across the surface of the land carrying with it a wall of hot sand, molten glass fragments and pumice. The rush of material flattens any forest and settles as a mantle across the land. In such a way the central North Island has been built up into the Volcanic Plateau. Successive pumice showers overlay thick beds of ignimbrite rocks created by these gaseous eruptions.
Much of the central North Island, north from Taupo and Tarawera, is covered in tephra from volcanic explosions. It may be seen in layers from successive eruptions, in places like road cuttings and riverbanks. The roots and branches of trees, overcome by the eruptions, are often still to be seen in the layers.
It may be seen in layers from successive eruptions, in places like road cuttings and riverbanks.
Geologists have given names to the various ash showers, the layers of mud and pumice which cover the land. Like a layer cake, they show the extent and violence of various eruptions. The Tarawera eruption of 1886 scattered pumice over some 900 square kilometres, while the Taupo eruption some 1800 years ago covered some 6000 square kilometres.
The weather and existing rivers may re-sort the deposits of ash. A river, held back by a new fall of ash, may form a temporary pond. When the dam of soft material bursts then the rush of water may coat the countryside in volcanic mud. Such mud flows are called lahars, and may leave hillocks on the land, as can be seen approaching the Chateau Tongariro Hotel and about Mt Taranaki. A mud flow bursting from the crater lake of Ruapehu in 1953 swept down the Tangiwai River, washing out a railway bridge and causing the deaths of 151 people when an overnight express train plunged into the river.
The kinds of minerals produced by volcanoes depend on the kinds of rocks melted under-ground. Broken fields of basalt may produce the red scoria used in roading work. Sometimes rocks fuse to form glass particles and even sheets of black glass called obsidian. Maori people used splinters of this glass from Mayor Island and Northland as tools to cut and scrape food.
The cones of mountains like Ngauruhoe and Taranaki are easy to identify as volcanoes. Yet there are other landforms created by volcanic activity that are not so obviously formed in this way. In places huge explosions have blown a hole in the earth, which is now filled with fresh water, like Lake Taupo. Perhaps a giant volcano has emptied itself and the countryside above has collapsed into the giant chamber that once held molten rock, such as the caldera of Lake Rotorua. Sometimes molten rock has simply oozed up from a fissure and built up a dome of rock, like Mt Ngongotaha at Rotorua.
The cones of mountains like Ngauruhoe and Taranaki are easy to identify as volcanoes. Yet there are other landforms created by volcanic activity that are not so obviously formed in this way.
Erosion can over time reveal other forms, such as the plugs and dykes that were once the molten skeletons of long-lost volcanoes, like the Coromandel Ranges.
Cone volcanoes, such as Ngauruhoe and Taranaki, are built up over centuries from steep layers of lava and ash. Such cones may produce secondary outlets as their main ‘throat’ becomes blocked with cooling magma.
Shield volcanoes are formed by runny magna, which flows quickly to form a smooth mound. Such volcanoes are quite easy to find in northern New Zealand. Often they are quite small, less than 100 metres high, such as the little Bay of Islands and Auckland cones. Their form is quickly produced, perhaps within two or three years, as basalt-type volcanoes rapidly exhaust their magma.

I then export all of them unedited to a folder on my computer.
I go through every image individually and star my favourite ones so I can come back and edit them, this saves me a lot of time! I roughly edit the selected photos using; crop, exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, vibrance and clarity.
Subject: Mayan ruins
Brief: Photograph the landmarks and points of interest of the Mayan temples from my trip to Chichen Itza, Mexico.
Equipment: Sony a5000, Sony E-Mount 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 lens.
Post Production: Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop
Inspiration: Fernando Guerra, John Huba
At the beginning of 2016 my luck hit and all time high as I was fortunate enough to win a holiday to Cancun, Mexico, from a competition I entered in 2015. Me and my girlfriend decided to go during the Easter holidays, to which I thought was the perfect opportunity to capture some great images for my assignment! We did many exciting activities but one of the perks of the trip was getting to explore the 5000 year old Mayan temples at Chichen Itza. I took many photographs on the day trip, here are my top 5.
This is the main temple at Chichen Itza. Its design has one side facing the sun with segments between each step that shades the other side, giving this amazing light and dark effect. I really like this image as it shows a great example of that effect taking place, showing one half exposed and the other shaded. Having the composition of the temple straight down the middle, almost splits the image into two segments.
Whilst you walk around the site there are many market stalls that sell handcrafted wooden masks, these masks are suppose to resemble those that the Mayans would wear and decorate their constructions with. This mask was perfectly lit by a small gap of light shining through the forest trees, leaving the two on each side darkened by the shade. The details and colours are illuminated, making this image pop.
Another photograph of the ‘light side’ of the Mayan temple. From this perspective you get an idea of how big the structure is with other tourists stood underneath it. This photo is made by the composition and symmetry, the stair case straight down the centre, then the zig-zag pattern either side of it work in harmony.
The market stalls also sell materialistic pieces such as clothing and bowls. This stall particularly caught my eye due to the amount of vibrant colours. This photo works for the reason, its vibrancy, as well as the pattern and structure of the layout.
This stall sold small handcrafted wooden masks, similar to the previous photo the structure of the layout along with the vibrant colours makes this photo interesting to look at. Applying to both this image and the last one – I decided to use the photographs with higher aperture as I believed it looked better when the whole image was in focus, allowing you too see every detail. I have similar copies shot in f/3.5 that focus on the centre, leaving the fore/background out of focus, but didn’t have the same impact.
I researched multiple interviews with different photographers to get inspirations as to which questions I could ask. I came up with a list of questions and then narrowed them down to 8. I split them up into subcategories covering career, style & equipment and inspiration, that way I had some context to the questions I was asking.
The idea behind my shoot was to create something editorial, I wanted to use post production to make something artistic. I also wanted my photographs to have a meaning behind them, a message that can be conveyed through an image. A simple Google search bought me to a variety of ideas I could imitate. Seeing a few clever ideas, I found one that really stood out and would be realistic to achieve via post production
However, I didn’t want to copy it exactly the same so I thought about how I could make it have a meaning. I took the feature of colouring the eyes, but removed the paint brush and instead chose to create a frame with the subject’s hands.
I wanted to convey the meaning along the lines of “creativity is in the eyes of the beholder” and the importance of our vision. How we see the world through our own eyes and the colours and details we can appreciate. The fingers creating a box represents the window we see through or can be interpreted as a reference to photography, creating the frame of an image.

Looks good, doesn’t it? Well, I’m happy to tell you that YOU could be that couple! There’s a fantastic Berkshires wedding venue that will make your dream celebration come true. A rustic barn, perfectly-manicured lawns, and enchanted trails through the woods are just some of the things that Bloom Meadows offers. And there’s a lot more where that came from! Let me tell you a little bit more about this amazing place.
Located in the heart of the Berkshires is the Bloom Meadows estate across 75 acres of grass fields and gardens. What makes it special are the spaces it features – the Bloom Barn, Silo, and the Parlor. Each of them offers a unique experience, making your Berkshires wedding an unforgettable experience.
To start things off is the Bloom Barn which features a mixture of rustic and contemporary styles. The heart-warming ambiance, the white shiplap walls, and the woody accents throughout the entire place make for stunning wedding backdrops. Additionally, the venue is perfectly designed for seamless celebrations with private dining, accommodating up to 170 guests. Finally, the homely barn includes amenities such as bathrooms, heat, and air conditioning – as well as a bar area for your guests to mingle through the night.
Another addition to this Berkshires wedding venue is the Silo – you can get ready or spend your first night as a married couple in this excellent building. It features a 14ft domed ceiling on the second floor, a king-sized bed, a fully-functional bathroom. It even has a cute kitchenette adorned with rustic brick, while on the first floor, there’s a full catering kitchen! At last, the view from the Silo’s deck will take your breath away – it can serve as the perfect backdrop for pictures!
Let’s not forget about the guys. Bloom Meadows has an exclusive space meant for the gents – the Parlor. Musky aromas of leather, wood, and velvet can be sensed throughout the room! Also, the Parlor has direct access to the Bloom grounds, where you can enjoy yard games before the actual wedding.
The design is also a unique aspect of this Berkshires wedding venue. Wooden and rustic elements adorn the whole place, complemented with delicate and elegant details. Couples can take advantage of the outdoor bar of the venue for cocktail hour and the stone firepit on the patio that’s lit after sundown. Additionally, Bloom Meadows has a team that can take care of every single thing that comes with planning a wedding. Just ask about their design ideas, vendor recommendations, and rehearsals. They will also ensure that everything comes out the way you envisioned it!
You can see why Bloom Meadows is a Berkshires wedding venue that will make your wedding an experience that I’m sure no one will forget! Naturally, I would suggest hiring a photographer who will truly capture the essence of this location and your love story. If you don’t know where to start looking, check out my portfolio. After all, you deserve an incredible photographic experience! | geography |

Hello. I've been looking for a place to discuss gardening, and this community seems to be a busy, helpful place. I live in a small town near the Great Smoky Mountains, and the springs here are lush and green. We're also far enough south that it's sometimes possible to overwinter some plants. I've discovered that my favorite plants are wild and delicate, like the Japanese bloodroot that hides in the shade, with its white flowers sheltering behind broad green leaves; like the pink-flowered wild geranium; like the white foamflower that grows so well in the local woods. Impatiens, so easy to grow in dark, out-of-the-way places, were once my favorite flowers, since almost nothing (except the squirrels and skunks that snap stems in containers while looking for grubs) can keep them from growing and spreading over the summer. But I find that I'm slowly relegating them to places further away from the public walkway. Once I loved nothing better than bright patches of impatiens, zinnias, and marigolds, but lush greenness in dappled light from the woods and pine trees is what I crave these days. | geography |

In February 1611, Hartog married 18-year-old Meynsgen Abels at Amsterdam’s Oude Kerk (Old Church), the same church in which he was baptised. It is not known whether the couple had any children.
Before joining the VOC in 1615, Hartog traded as a private merchant and skippered the small vessel Dolphyn (Dolphin) to a number of Baltic and Mediterranean ports. In January 1616, aged 35, he became the skipper of the 700-tonne Eendracht on its maiden voyage to Bantam in the East Indies. The ship embarked from Texel in North Holland along with four other vessels. It had a crew of 200 and carried 10 money chests containing 80,000 reales (pieces of eight), valued at about 200,000 guilders, which were to be delivered to VOC trading posts in the East Indies.1
Hartog saw ‘several islands, though uninhabited’, behind which a vast mainland could be seen.
In August 1616 Eendracht arrived at the Cape of Good Hope alone, after becoming separated from the fleet during a storm. It was restocked with supplies of fresh fruit, vegetables and drinking water, before departing the Cape three weeks later following the new Brouwer route. Eendracht sailed too far east, however, resulting in an unexpected encounter with the then unknown west coast of Australia, where Hartog saw ‘several islands, though uninhabited’, behind which a vast mainland could be seen.2
Cape Inscription, Dirk Hartog Island
On 25 October 1616, Eendracht made landfall at the northern end of Dirk Hartog Island in Shark Bay, an area that was home to the Malgana people. Hartog and his crew spent two days ashore. The group examined the area thoroughly but determined that it held nothing of apparent commercial value. Before proceeding for Bantam on 27 October, they inscribed a testimony of their visit on a flattened pewter dinner plate.
Recording their landing date, the name of the ship and its senior crew, and details of the onward journey, this act transformed an ephemeral engagement into a tangible mark of discovery. The Hartog plate was nailed to an oak post placed on the rocky cliff top, overlooking what is now known as Cape Inscription. The message on the plate is translated as:
1616, 25 October, is here arrived the ship the Eendracht of Amsterdam, the upper-merchant Gillis Miebais of Liege, skipper Dirck Hatichs of Amsterdam; the 27th ditto set sail again for Bantam, the under-merchant Jan Stins, the upper-steersman Pieter Dookes van Bill, Anno 1616.
In December 1616, Eendracht reached Macassar, where 16 of its crew were killed in a confrontation with locals.3 Hartog then visited a number of trading posts to deliver the money chests, before departing Bantam one year later for the return passage to the Netherlands, arriving in the province of Zeeland in October 1618.
Following his history-making voyage, Hartog left the employment of the VOC and became the skipper of Geluckige Leeu (Lucky Lion), which sailed to various European ports. Dirk Hartog died in 1621, shortly before reaching the age of 41, and was buried in the grounds of the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) in Amsterdam. The Eendracht, which embarked on a second voyage to the East Indies in May 1619, was eventually wrecked off the west coast of Ambon Island in May 1622. The wreck site has not been located.
The Land of the Eendracht
Hartog’s landing in 1616 had a significant impact on world geography and cartography, and foreshadowed a series of Dutch, British and French expeditions that would gradually, over the course of two centuries, put Australia on the map. As he sailed north from Shark Bay to Bantam, Hartog charted some 400 kilometres of the Western Australian coastline and named it after his ship, ’t Landt van de Eendracht (the Land of the Eendracht) or Eendrachtsland. This name soon began to appear on maps of the world, in place of the mythical Terra Australis Incognita. Among the earliest were the 1618 and 1627 outline charts by chief VOC cartographer Hessel Gerritsz.
Successive Dutch navigators, including Abel Tasman and Willem de Vlamingh, would extend the charts of the western, northern and southern coasts to give shape to Hartog’s Eendrachtsland, which was also known as ’t Zuyd Landt (the South Land) or ’t Grote Zuyd Landt (the Great South Land). In 1642 Tasman sighted new land that he called Van Diemen’s Land (now Tasmania) after the Governor-General of the East Indies, Anthony van Diemen. In 1644 he completed charting a long stretch of northern coast from the Gulf of Carpentaria to North West Cape, connecting all the unfolding Dutch discoveries to form Hollandia Nova (New Holland). Tasman’s two voyages were the last major explorations of New Holland for some decades.
Proof of daring VOC ancestors
Dirk Hartog’s plate would lie undisturbed at its windswept island outpost for more than 80 years, until Willem de Vlamingh’s expedition in the ships Geelvinck (Yellow Finch), Nyptangh and Weseltje in 1696. De Vlamingh had been instructed to search for possible survivors from the wrecks of two VOC ships, Ridderschap van Holland (lost 1694) and Vergulde Draeck (Gilt Dragon, lost 1656), and also to chart the remainder of the western coast of New Holland. While he was unable to locate any trace of the missing ships, his expedition resulted in the mapping of nearly 1,500 kilometres of coastline, as well as the naming of Rottnest Island, the Swan River and Steep Point, the most westerly point of Australia.
In February 1697, de Vlamingh and his crew landed at Dirk Hartog Island and by sheer coincidence discovered the inscribed Hartog plate, lying half-buried in the sand beside its now decayed oak post. Recognising its historic significance, de Vlamingh took the Hartog plate on board and replaced it with a new one engraved with his predecessor’s original message, as well as a record of his own visit. The plate was nailed to a new post of cypress pine collected from Rottnest Island. The inscription on the de Vlamingh plate is translated as:
1697, the 4 February, is here arrived the ship Geelvinck of Amsterdam; the commander and skipper Willem de Vlamingh of Vlieland, assistant Joannes Bremer of Copenhagen, upper-steersman Michil Bloem of the diocese of Bremen. The hooker the Nyptangh, skipper Gerrit Colaart of Amsterdam, assistant Theodoris Heirmans of the same, upper-steersman Gerrit Geritsen of Bremen. The galliot, the Weseltje, skipper Cornelis de Vlamingh of Vlieland, steersman Coert Gerritsen of Bremen; and from here set sail with our fleet to explore the Southland with destination Batavia.
In March 1697 de Vlamingh delivered Dirk Hartog’s plate to Batavia as ‘proof of the daring spirit of his ancestors’.4 The following year the plate was taken to the VOC headquarters, East India House, in Amsterdam, where it remained until the company was dissolved in 1799. In 1819 the plate was handed to the Koninklijk Kabinet van Zeldzaamheden (Royal Cabinet of Curiosities) in The Hague, which became part of the Rijksmuseum in 1883. Today it endures as a powerful icon of shared cultural heritage, symbolising the longstanding maritime connections between the Netherlands and Australia. In 1991 Dirk Hartog Island was included in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area, in recognition of its outstanding natural universal values, while the Cape Inscription area was added to Australia’s National Heritage List in 2006 as a place of national significance.
The de Vlamingh plate has been in the collection of the Western Australian Maritime Museum in Fremantle since 1950. It was discovered by French Captain Emmanuel Hamelin of Naturaliste (part of Nicolas Baudin’s expedition) in 1801, and then recovered from the sands of time in 1818 by the French explorer Louis de Freycinet, who presented it to the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres in Paris. The plate was rediscovered in 1940 and returned to Australia by the French government in 1947. It is one of the few material reminders of pre-British, 17th-century Dutch encounters with the continent that would come to be known as Australia.
The Dutch ultimately abandoned their interest in New Holland in the mid-18th century, having found nothing of commercial value in what they deemed a barren and inhospitable land. In 1770 the British navigator Lieutenant James Cook charted the elusive east coast of New Holland and named it New South Wales. In 1801–1803, Matthew Flinders’ circumnavigation showed that Terra Australis was an island, and not part of a larger southern landmass. Hartog’s Eendrachtsland, New Holland and the Great South Land were finally revealed to be one continent – Australia.

The 81 on East Bay is an unusual parcel – roughly 80 acres of undeveloped land with approximately 1,500 feet of shoreline along the East Arm of Grand Traverse Bay. The developer’s goal was to create something special while preserving the natural resources and integrity of the property. To accomplish this, our team at Mansfield Land Use Consultants pursued a Planned Unit Development (PUD) instead of a Use-By-Right. The final design provides 65% preservation of open space including 83% of the shoreline bluff and 1,500 lineal feet of East Grand Traverse Bay waterfront.

The fellowship provides artists with the resources to develop a large-scale project on their own terms in their own local contexts.
Deborah Jack (pronouns: she/her) will create To Make A Map of My Memory: Wayfinding Along Synaptic Topographies, linking cultural memory preservation in St. Maarten with climate justice through an archive of oral histories, a connected film, and multimedia installation. She will center the experiences of communities in small island nations bearing the brunt of climate disasters and work collaboratively with her community in St. Maarten to produce self-determined narratives and representations that confront issues of colonial extraction and cultural commodification for touristic consumption. Jack will combine voices and recollections on the island’s shifting landscape from elders in St. Maarten with archival imagery, vernacular photography, and present-day images of the changed landscape to create a poetic documentary project. With To Make a Map of My Memory, Jack underscores the importance of preserving these intangible histories within the broader collective memory of smaller islands and advocates for the value of island consciousness as a counter and cure to the extractive nature of landlocked continental forces.
Jack is a multidisciplinary artist based between St. Maarten and Jersey City whose work includes video installation, photography, and text. Her practice engages a variety of strategies for mining the intersections of histories, cultural memory, ecology, and climate change. Her work was featured in the exhibition Forecast Form: Art in the Caribbean Diaspora, 1990s-Today at the MCA Chicago and will travel to ICA Boston in Fall 2023. In Fall 2021, a retrospective, Deborah Jack: 20 Years, was presented at Pen + Brush in New York City. Her work is in the collections of the MCA Chicago and the Smith College Museum of Art. Deborah received a Nancy Graves Grant for Visual Artists (2021) and she is a 2023 Changing Climate Resident at the Santa Fe Art Institute, as well as a Surf Point Foundation Artist in Residence. Deborah is currently a Professor of Art at New Jersey City University.[. . .]
Chemi Rosado-Seijo (pronouns: he/him) will work with residents from El Cerro, Puerto Rico, to transform the community into a “Green Barriada,” a self-sustaining and environmentally resilient community. El Cerro: From Metaphor to Reality seeks to position El Cerro as a model for energy, hydric, and food sovereignty. Rosado-Seijo will collaborate with this ancestral community to invest in its survival capacity and knowledge by building and teaching residents how to sustain energy and water-resilient homes through harvesting solar energy and rainwater. The construction of informal orchards and five new community gardens will encourage research about the agricultural history of El Cerro. The residents are instrumental partners in the design and implementation of these agro-ecological practices and community-led solutions for climate, environmental, and economic justice. The artist will collect and document these experiences, working methods, social and educational impact, and project histories to share in a print publication serving as a testament to the possibilities for other communities.
Rosado-Seijo is an artist who uses organizing, visual art, and sculpture to tell the story of his Puerto Rican identity and community. In 2020, Rosado-Seijo was commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art‘s education department to develop a project entitled Beyond the Uniform, which engaged Museum of Modern Art‘s security department officers. He currently has a long term site-specific sculptural skate bowl at Art Omi. From 2009–2014, Rosado-Seijo organized exhibitions in his apartment in Santurce, creating a center for meeting and exchange in the Puerto Rican contemporary art scene. In 2006, together with Roberto “Boly” Cortez, they inaugurated La Perla’s Bowl, a sculpture built with residents of San Juan’s La Perla community that functions as both a skateboarding ramp and a pool. Since 2002, Rosado-Seijo has worked with residents of the El Cerro community to present art projects, workshops, and other initiatives. Rosado-Seijo had his first solo show at the Joan Miró Foundation, Barcelona (2000). Before that he worked with Michy Marxuach to open a gallery in 1998 that transformed into a not-for-profit organization presenting resources and exhibitions for contemporary artists in Puerto Rico.

[Frodo] cried. 'My fair lady, clad all in silver green! We have never said farewell to her, nor seen her since the evening!' He was so distressed that he turned back; but at that moment a clear call came rippling down. There on the hill-brow she stood beckoning to them: her hair was flying loose, and as it caught the sun it shone and shimmered. A light like the glint of water on dewy grass flashed from under her feet as she danced.
They hastened up the last slope, and stood breathless beside her. They bowed, but with a wave of her arm she bade them look round; and they looked out from the hill-top over lands under the morning. It was now as clear and far-seen as it had been veiled and misty when they stood upon the knoll in the Forest, which could now be seen rising pale and green out of the dark trees in the West. In that direction the land rose in wooded ridges, green, yellow, russet under the sun, beyond which lay hidden the valley of the Brandywine.

The work will assess the role of groundwater in supporting national food security goals in four nations in Asia and Africa ? China (East Asia), India (South Asia), Jordon (West Asia), and Tunisia (North Africa) as well as the region of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Each of these countries/regions have unique groundwater issues and need to be studied context-specific. For this research, fine resolution data will be collected for each nation as well as SSA. National partners, where possible, will be involved in data collection. The data collected will be used in analysing groundwater issues within the local constraints. Local partners will also be involved in developing future groundwater scenarios for these nations/regions. The IMPACT model will be applied with country-specific datasets to analyse the scenarios for food security within the country and their potential impact on global food markets. | geography |

Highland Park is one of only a handful of distilleries that still retains a traditional malting floor, turning each batch of malt by hand, in what is a physically demanding process.
To malt their barley, they steep it in the mineral rich water from the Crantit spring, before transferring it to the malting floor to slowly germinate. When it is ready, the barley is then placed in their kilns where the aromatic peating process begins.
The brand’s Orkney Islands home has history rooted back to 800AD when the Islands were owned and ruled by the Viking kingdoms of Denmark and Norway. Although Orkney became part of Scotland in 1468, Orcadians still feel a connection with their Viking heritage as one in three of them has Scandinavian DNA.
On International Viking Day – the day Highland Park’s Viking ancestors would shed their winter clothes and prepare their longships for the year ahead – by embarking on their very own adventure in the heart of Kirkwall.
Highland Park opened the doors and welcomed the world into their first ever store. As well as a retail space offering merchandise and whiskies and a tasting room, the new visitor experience store includes a gallery featuring works from local creatives. Over the summer we designed over 140 t-shirt concepts for Highland Park which was then hand screen-printed locally (16,000+). | geography |

If you’ve read our blog post on our Top 5 Eco-Friendly Fabrics to Add to your Wardrobe, you’ll know that at RAINE Clothing, we’re no strangers to utilising recycled plastic that could have otherwise made its way into oceans or landfills, so we thought we’d give you a little more information on exactly what Prevented Ocean Plastic is, and why it’s such an incredible material!
What is Prevented Ocean Plastic?
Prevented Ocean Plastic, or Ocean Bound Plastic, is single-use plastic that is collected from coastal areas which are at high risk of pollution; this is plastic that would, if not for intervention, likely end up in the ocean, causing further harm to this important ecosystem. In fact, it’s actually estimated that about 80% of plastics currently polluting oceans worldwide come from land-based sources!
These single-use plastics, usually in the form of plastic bottles, have usually been dropped into water or beach areas as litter, and are mostly collected by volunteers, to prevent them from making it to the ocean and doing further damage there. This is because, due to the nature of ocean water, which contains high quantities of salt, single-use plastics become degraded and completely unviable for recycling, meaning that even if it were possible for these bottles to be removed from the ocean, they would just end up at a landfill and further contributing to greater pollution.
Experts currently define Prevented Ocean Plastic as plastic which is found within 30 miles of a coastal area or a major waterway which feeds into the ocean, but this definition does also include plastic which could in some way otherwise harm marine life.
Most commonly, these plastics are found to be harming water across South East Asia, South America, and the Galapagos Islands, the Mediterranean, Central America, and the Carribean, so it’s truly a worldwide issue.
What can I do to help?
The most simple answer is: recycle! Whilst these schemes are a great way to deal with the growing waste problem we’re facing globally, recycling your single used plastics is by far the best way to do your bit, so these plastics aren’t likely to end up in bodies of water in the first place!
Aside from that, as with most eco-friendly and sustainable materials, the more demand there is, the more recycling processes will be prioritised, and the more these recycled ocean plastics can be utilised! Luckily, there are lots of ways in which various companies are getting involved with these schemes, so you will be able to make some changes that can help! For example, some supermarkets are now getting involved in incorporating these recycled ocean plastics into their packaging, so it’s always worth doing your research and keeping your eye out for the Prevented Ocean Plastics logo where possible!
Another option to help this important cause is to try and purchase more recycled plastic products, such as rPET (recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) or recycled Polyester, which are made from two of the largest contributors to Ocean Bound Plastic!
There’s plenty to be done and lots of global organisations to help, so please do try and get involved if possible.
We hope you found this information useful, and we’re so delighted that Team GB’s artistic swimming duet have chosen to opt for recycled ocean plastic costumes this year, to further highlight this incredibly important cause.
If you’d like to find out more about these recycled ocean plastics, please head over to preventedoceanplastic.com, where you can also find out what you can do to help!

According to Richard Comeau, Senior Director of Programs at Hunger Free Oklahoma, the USDA grant will be transformative for Oklahoma with the potential to reach 50 of Oklahoma’s most food insecure communities.
“We will be working with communities and partners across the state to identify areas where access to nutritious food is severely limited and implementing programs that really meet the community’s needs,” said Comeau. “Oklahomans living in food deserts, rural communities, and areas with high health disparities will all have access to more nutritious food, improved food security, and the ability to stretch their budgets further amidst rising inflation and the end of COVID-19 support programs.”
Hunger Free Oklahoma has operated the Double Up Oklahoma program since 2019; at that time the program only existed at farmers markets. In the past three years, through strategic growth and partnerships, DUO has expanded and currently operates in 10 grocery stores, as well as 17 independent farmers markets across the state. Expanding the number of stores over the next four years will offer increased options and access to fresh fruits and vegetables for participating communities. Hunger Free Oklahoma believes this will have a huge impact on those communities.
“We are grateful to the USDA and the National Institute for Food and Agriculture for this opportunity and to all supporters who contributed towards the matching funds required to apply for this grant,” said Chris Bernard, Executive Director at Hunger Free Oklahoma. “Collectively, this support will allow us to make Double Up Oklahoma the largest nutrition incentive program in the region. More importantly, this grant allows us to make sure more communities have access to fresh fruits and vegetables and more Oklahomans have the resources they need to make healthy choices. At Hunger Free Oklahoma, we believe that ideas should be tested and when shown effective they should be scaled. This grant award is the next big step to scaling Double Up Oklahoma to every community in our state.”
“Recently HFO was highlighted in the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health Fact Sheet for its goal of expanding DUO into all 77 counties in Oklahoma,” Chris continued. “This grant along with the private and state dollars committed to the program will help to reach more than 50% of that goal.”

I like to consider myself (arrogantly) quite a well-travelled chap. Aided by the wonders of an English passport, I am provided with very few visa complications around the world. I have travelled through almost 40 countries; each one carrying its own gem of uniqueness. Though, it was in Cambodia during a 9-month trip through Asia that I became quite disinterested in the conventional methods of travel. After all, it’s not about the destination, but about the journey, right? Apologies to the cramped buses, full of boozy ‘slack’ packers, that lost my custom, but I decided to invest more in the ‘journey’ side of traveling.
It was in Battambang, a city just southwest of Siam Reap where my travel buddy and I invested in two fixed-gear bicycles for $10 each. Using bungee cords and rope we attached our backpacks to the loose racks on the back of the bicycles, and began cycling south with no clear destination in mind.
The feeling of using your body to propel yourself across large masses of land is unexplainable.
Adventurously, instead of going directly from A to Z, you’re given the freedom to explore the many escapades that await, hidden, among the other 24 letters of the alphabet. As slow as this may seem, watching the environment pass you by while on a bicycle seems somewhat more visceral than through the transparent divide of a window. Being forced to stop due to a flat tire, or mild fatigue can allow you to elicit the most interesting of conversations from the wildest of characters.
Physically, the demand is wherever you want it to be. You have full control on how far you would like to push yourself for the day. Your heart rate remains at a steady, slightly elevated pace, for the entire journey. Meaning, unlike any other vacation, you finish your holiday in better shape than when you started.
Environmentally, you’re doing the world a big favour. The tourism industry is responsible for 5 – 12% of global greenhouse emissions (1), with air travel being the largest contributor of those emissions. Whereas cycling is the most environmentally efficient way to travel, who doesn’t want to reduce their carbon footprint using their feet?
Curious about your personal Carbon Footprint? Calculate yours here: http://www.carbonfootprint.com/calculator.aspx
After 3 weeks of cycling around Cambodia, covering over 1000 km, I rolled into Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on my faithful two-wheeled friend. Feeling tired, overwhelmed, and accomplished, I sensed that the small world that I was used to traveling had now become much larger.
I have now cycled over 5,000 km through 9 countries. Every trip reminds me how much more there is to see, and I can think of no better way to see it than from two wheels and a saddle. | geography |

The artwork takes inspiration from the book’s tagline – “Look at cocaine and all you see is powder. Look through cocaine and you see the world” and highlights four peaks representing the European cities with the highest consumption rates.
Installed in Greenwich overlooking the City, Nathan crafted the map over a week, after months of preparation, using 161kg of the class A drug’s moniker, 000 flour. This is the gram for gram equivalent of cocaine consumed in London every week – the highest of any capital in Europe – worth upwards of £6,400,000 in street value. The artwork highlights four peaks representing the European cities with the highest consumption rate. The tallest peak is London (161kg per week, 23kg per day), twice that of Barcelona (80.18kg per week, 12.74kg per day) which occupies second place, and almost three times that of Amsterdam and Berlin in third and fourth position with the smallest peaks.
ZeroZeroZero follows the journey, cost, and devastation of transporting a large shipment of cocaine from Mexico to Europe. The 7 x 5 metre artwork shines a sobering spotlight on the UK and European consumption rates of cocaine. It features the most popular shipping routes to Europe and the UK from South America, the Caribbean, West Africa and Brazil with seven cargo ships illustrating how 77% of cocaine is carried by sea.
Featuring an all-star cast including Andrea Riseborough, Dane DeHaan and Gabriel Byrne, fast-paced series ZeroZeroZero focuses on the buyers, sellers and brokers who drive the frenzied and lethal world of international drug trafficking, Commenting on the installation author Roberto Saviano said: “There is a river that flows under the big cities, a white river that originates in South America, which crosses Africa and branches out everywhere. Men and women, heads down, walk along the London boulevards... under their feet flows that white river, it flows impetuously.”
Artist Nathan Wyburn added: “I’ve worked with all manner of unique ideas and mediums over the years. This intricate piece for NOW TV has been incredibly interesting to design but it’s also harrowing to see such shocking statistics piled high in flour form.”
According to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA): ‘Cocaine is the most commonly used illicit stimulant drug in the European Union. Around 18 million adults (aged 15-64) in the EU have used cocaine at least once in their lifetime. Of these, around 3 million are young adults (aged 15-34) who have used the drug in the last year’.
The EMCDDA adds: ‘In 2018, the number of cocaine seizures and the quantity seized in the EU reached the highest levels ever recorded, with more than 110 000 seizures of cocaine reported, amounting to 181 tonnes’.

The full marathon will do one loop of the half marathon course, then branch off at about mile 11 and go further into residential roads in Hampton. (Marathoners do NOT go past the Half Marathon finish or near the start)
The second loop of the marathon will contain 4 miles of different rural roads, then joins back up on the original course at mile 15.5 of the first loop. For better hydration, water stops are now 2 miles apart.
As of right now, the elevation guide we have shows this to be the flattest course in New England for a Marathon, and half marathon.
The course is certified and a Boston Qualifier with a start and finish mat for the half and full marathon.
The race course has been measured and certified according to the USATF and is a Boston Qualifier. (Certified NH11027RF)
There are two small hills at miles 4 and 6, but the highest elevation gain is only 60ft!
Half Marathon Elevation Chart
Full Marathon Elevation chart
Both the Half marathon and the full marathon travel on mostly scenic country roads and include miles of oceanside views. The course is very flat - for New England - and has only one medium hill you travel over once in the half and twice in the full marathon.
Our course starts in the center of Hampton Beach near C street, and north of the large Sea Shell. The starting line is about 1/4 mile north of the famous Seashell on Hampton beach. Before you start, why not plunge into the cool ocean water at Hampton Beach Park? It has a wide sandy beach with bath-house, showers and lifeguards (in the summer) along with blocks of attractions, restaurants, and hotels.
The race for the Marathon and Half all start in one place. Wave to all your friends and family as off you go south on Rt. 1A or Ocean Boulevard for about 1 mile with the Atlantic Ocean and Hampton Beach to your right.. After a foliage laden loop of Hampton's rural roads and neighborhoods the course heads for the small but picturesque town of North Hampton, first settled in 1639.
Following the separation of New Hampshire from Massachusetts, this part of Hampton was known as "North Hill" or "North Parish". Just off the course are the Fuller Gardens, where you can enjoy two acres of formal flower gardens (hundreds of tulips and 2,000 rose bushes) on a turn-of-the-century estate.
There are century old historic homes, hay fields and stone walls all along the rural route. Some people love the inner loop even better than the famous ocean side of the course.
This is a "loop" course where the top of the loop eventually ends back up on Rt. 1A by mile 9. This loop includes some of the most scenic Atlantic Ocean roads on the rocky New Hampshire coast. Enjoy unobstructed views of the ocean and the rocky cliffs at Little Boars Head, a seaside promontory that became a fashionable summer resort in the 19th century, and contains elegant examples of Victorian and Edwardian architecture. You will travel on past North Hampton State Beach where it's still possible to find some peace and quiet, and you might even spot some hardy souls riding the waves. North Beach also has a sandy beach, bathhouse and lifeguards. Right on the water’s edge, the park offers beautiful gardens and places to spread out for a picnic or nap.
As you wind your way southward, you will have traveled the so-called “two-mile drive”, which is said to be the most spectacular ocean-side drive on the East Coast. On the left, nothing but ocean, on the right, expansive beautiful homes. Finally you'll return to finish at Hampton Beach and celebrate with a well-deserved after-race party.
Both the half and full marathoners run together until about mile 11. At about mile 11 the full Marathon separates from the Half Marathon. PLEASE be aware and listen to race marshals and see our large signs for the split.
You will end up back on on Winnacunnet Road and then wind through some delightful Hampton areas neighborhoods. So the Marathon course is different from the Half Marathon from about mile 13 to about mile 18.5. At mile 19.5 you will join back up with the half marathon course on Woodland street and go to North Hampton just like the first loop.
The marathon course has a medium grade hill at about mile 16.5 miles. This is the same loop we do in our Winter Half Marathon and this is a reasonably easy incline. The final 8 miles of the marathon course are the same as the half with those beautiful roads along the rugged New Hampshire coastline. | geography |

The vast majority of Johnson’s customers know that although maybe few and far between, SW Florida has always been vulnerable to periods of cold weather and that the intensity and duration of each season can be very different from one year to the next.
The Florida Agricultural Plant Hardiness maps are a good indicator of whether your location is likely to drop below 32F degrees. If you are located near the Gulf of Mexico or Naples Bay, it can be expected that your heating system would rarely have to operate at or below freezing temperatures ; whereas heating systems to the east of US 41 and even further to east of Interstate 75 will have to operate at lower temperatures and for longer durations.
The data below was collected from Naples Municipal Airport over the past 15 years. It shows the Average High, Average Medium and Average Low Temperatures for each month of the year. Notice that Naples Municipal Airport recorded an average of .3 freezing days over a 15 year period and only during the month of December. We all know that other areas of Collier County reached freezing temperatures much more frequently than at Naples Airport. It’s located on the Gordon River at the foot of Naples Bay and in close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico keeps it warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
SW Florida Construction Methods
While the demands of our heating season can be considered mild in comparison with other regions of Florida, the most common methods of construction used locally in the buildings served by our heating systems are not nearly as resistive to heating losses to outdoors though walls, windows, doors and ceilings in most cases. Likewise, residential and commercial systems for use in controlling the comfort of occupants are rightfully designed with cooling and dehumidification capabilities prioritized.
Architectural features that are popular include large rooms with high ceilings. The most effective air conditioning system configuration is diffusion of conditioned air into the space from ceiling or side wall locations located toward the center of spaces and directed downward toward the heat sources within the space.
Architecture and heating systems designed for use in regions where energy use for comfort is dominated by a cold climate are usually designed with the heat supplied near the floor using forced air systems with floor mounted diffusers or heated slabs and radiant heaters located at or near floor level. Each method addresses the heat rising to the ceiling through convection to favor the most frequent mode of operation.
Many of SW Florida central air systems are not very efficient when operated in heating mode ; the architectural design of many of the spaces served is in not conducive to efficient heating mode performance.
Many SW Florida interior spaces are designed in such a manner that the heated air rises up into high ceilings through convection taking the heated air away from occupants at floor level.
Often cold surfaces such as windows, sliders and tile or marbles floors add to comfort issues for occupants down in the living area while all of the heated air supplied into the room is just overhead in the high ceilings above them.
The thermostat is located above floor level near eye level of the users and is also quite a few feet below heated air that accumulates in the upper areas of a high volume ceiling space. The thermostat will continue to demand heating operation until the user set point has been satisfied by the room temperature in the exact location of the thermostat. Room air temperatures in high ceiling area above the thermostat could be as high as 20 degrees greater than the temperature of the indoor air at the thermostat level. When these scenarios combine, it increases the required hours of heating run-time required and the energy demand required.
Even though annual heating energy costs are far less than what is used for cooling and dehumidification of the conditioned air in summer weather mode, many of our heating systems and building designs run much higher energy cost per hour than would be tolerable in colder climates. Electric resistance heating is the most inefficient method used to provide heating mode comfort to occupants. It is also the most common type of heating system used in residential and commercial SW Florida Buildings. Even though annual utility costs for heating is just a fraction of what is used for cooling, many SW Florida owners of electric heating systems have had very high monthly statements for the months that the electric heating system was used.
Many of Johnson’s customers have ultra efficient heat pump systems that operate from cooling tower or geothermal water systems operated in their building, these are water source heat pump systems that are excellent for cooling and dehumidification uses and are heat pumps as a standard feature. Many SW Florida multi family condominiums utilize water source heat pumps.
Types of SW Florida Heating Systems
Only a handful of comfort heating systems in southwest Florida utilize the types fossil fuel combustion furnaces that are so common in northern areas of North America. The vast majority of residential and commercial comfort heating systems in SW Florida are dependent upon electrical utility energy sources ; some are heat pumps while others are less efficient electric resistance heating systems. Both use electrical power to heat indoor air for the comfort of occupants.
Heating systems require varying levels of maintenance. Electric Resistance heating systems have fewer components and while not requiring the same level of maintenance as heat pump systems, still need attention and regular testing. Electric heat components should be tested regularly during maintenance service of the central air system whether they have been used by occupants or not. Electric heating elements collect combustible dust and debris during operation in cooling mode than accumulates on the electric heating elements, if not regularly energized and tested the combustion becomes more severe when eventually energized. The only way to make sure electric heat will operate when needed is to maintain it even during long durations of not being used.
Heat pump system require the same maintenance and service requirements as air conditioning systems. Heat pumps utilize the same indoor and outdoor fans, heat exchangers and compressors that are used during cooling mode operation and share a control system that operates the same components, but differently as it switches between heating and cooling modes. Heat Pumps are reverse cycle refrigerant systems that can direct heat flow from outside to inside during heating mode operation and from inside to outside during air conditioning operation. | geography |

The name of our Region, “Carrera“, which means “race” in both Italian and Spanish languages, comes from the legendary Mexican North to South, border-to-border road race “La Carrera Panamericana“. The race was very similar to the legendary Mille Miglia and Targa Florio races held in Italy. The grueling automotive spectacle originally occurred as an annual event from 1950 to 1954 beginning in El Paso’s sister city, Juarez, Mexico, just across the international border. The finish line was reached six days and 3,373 kilometers later after driving through dense forests and jungles at the southern-most city of Cuauhtemoc, Chiapas at the border of Mexico and Guatemala. The race was so incredibly challenging, it instantly became synonymous with the title, “The world’s most dangerous race”. This was due to its formidable and unforgiving course plan and because the spectacle was cloaked in tragedy when three drivers and one spectator lost their lives during the inaugural race in 1950.
With legendary German race car driver Hans Hermann at the wheel of a stock four-cam, 110 horsepower, 550 Spyder, Porsche won its first off-road rally race in the 1500cc class at the running of the 1954 La Carrera Panamericana. In fact, two factory-stock Porsche 550 Spyders finished in third and fourth places behind two purpose-built 12-cylinder Ferrari’s that same year. This amazing feat prodded the tiny little Porsche race car into the worldwide limelight. Soon thereafter, and with its chest still rightfully bursting with pride, Porsche began naming some of its sports cars after the infamous cross-country race. The success of the Porsche 550 Spyders at the 1954 La Carrera Panamericana directly influenced the success of race driver Humberto Maglioli’s commanding 15-minute overall victory at the 1956 Targa Florio in Italy. It was Porsche’s first overall victory in an international race with the 550 Spyder. Today, you can still purchase a new Porsche 911 Carrera with our Region’s name proudly emblazoned across its engine cover!
Carrera Region is very proud of our racing heritage and we are extremely grateful to Porsche A.G. for allowing us to keep our PCA Region name. Our region members are quick to confess that of the 145 Regions in Porsche Club of America, we are the only Region to have a Porsche-branded name as our club moniker!
Lying within the expansive area that is PCA’s Zone 9 footprint, the boundaries of Carrera Region span seven counties in far west Texas and it encompasses all seven of New Mexico’s southern-most counties. Our sprawling footprint stretches from the Midland/Odessa area on our eastern border, all the way out west to the Arizona border, and from the US/Mexico border in the south, up to Roadrunner Region’s border, just to our north in Albuquerque, NM.
Our region membership is currently at around 100 registered members of which about 75 to 80 active members regularly participate in various club events. We are very proud to say that we still have a few charter members, from the original club in 1966, in our ranks!
Carrera Region is active in community and charity events, many of which receive national visibility. A couple of the more notable charity events we participate in are “The Susan G. Komen Walk For The Cure” and “Walk To End Alzheimer’s”. The club has many members who participate regularly in Sports Car Club of America sanctioned events and we continue to foster a close relationship with the Pan American Region of the SCCA. We offer sanctioned car clubs the opportunity to participate in many Carrera Region social and track events throughout the year.
Carrera Region has earned many PCA National accolades over the last several years including a 4th place and two 2nd place awards in the rigorous Region t-shirt competition. Finally in 2012, some of the hard work paid off when we won a first-place trophy in the t-shirt design competition at Porsche Parade. In 2013, Carrera Region proudly teamed-up with SVT Mustang Elite, a premier Ford Shelby car club in El Paso, to raise money in support of a local fledgling no-kill animal shelter, here in our hometown. A big-time win for El Paso!
Years of dedicated spirit and back-breaking determination culminated in a very hard earned National first place trophy in the Level-1 Region Website Competition. The honor was awarded to Carrera Region during Porsche Parade in 2014 at Jay Peak, Vermont. In 2016, Carrera Region earned another National award coming in second place for factored membership growth in a Region over the previous year. That’s a HUGE accomplishment for any Region, but especially for a small region such as our own! Another amazing pinnacle of exceptional dedication occurred during Porsche Parade 2017 at Spokane, Washington when Carrera Region was, once again, awarded the prestigious PCA National first place trophy in the Level-1 Region Website Competition.
We are very proud of our accomplishments and our racing heritage. We look forward to taking our Region into the next chapters of its success in the years ahead! We hope you will join us to be a part of the excitement!

Slowly drifting along the Nile on a felucca, a traditional wooden sailing boat, is a quintessential Egyptian experience. Especially in the early evening as the last minutes of sunlight hit the water. The Nile is not only Egypt’s primary water source but a pulsing current of the country’s lifeblood.
During my month in Egypt, the Nile River was an obvious central point for much of my travels. Many travellers originating in Cairo, book the expensive overnight sleeper train to Luxor, the gateway to Upper Egypt. However, the night journey misses the magic of the scenic route Nile carves through the country. Passing countless villages, revealing the vibrancy of the Nile delta and the fertile land surrounding. A landscape in sharp contrast to the rest of the country which is predominantly desert.
After departing Cairo at 8am, the rapid emergences of palm tree groves are breathtaking as the colours of the landscape change vastly. Rolling into Luxor a little after sundown is disorientating but waking up at sunrise to a view over the Nile is a worthy and surreal experience. Hot air balloons bob along following the path of the river. Luxor, inarguably home to Egypt’s most prized archaeological masterpieces outside of the Pyramids of Giza. Luxor, which has sadly been visibly tainted by the negatives impacts of tourism, still holds up due to its plethora of monumental ancient sites and enthusiastic yet friendly locals.
Once you venture inland away from the river, deep into the Valley of the Kings, the radiant heat is inescapable even under the shade of a rocky cliff face. Back in Luxor, on the Nile’s edge, I met Kika, a friend of a friend for a drink. Kika took me to a restaurant on a boat docked by the water; A common occurrence in Egypt; many cafes, restaurants and bars are on boats along the river’s edge, each competing with their own music, tafara (apple) shisha and a confusing combination of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails and beers.
Travelling south from Luxor along the Nile’s edge, you reach the warm and golden-hued Aswan. The most prominent settlement in southern Egypt, Aswan is home to a sizeable Nubian community and the river is very much the centrepiece of this city, which for centuries has been a trade gateway to continental Africa. Watching feluccas and other small passenger ferries cruise up and down the river and around Elephantine Island is a dizzying experience and a highlight of Aswan. After a few hours on a felucca one evening, Hamada – my sailor and new friend – offered me tea, dates and a smoke or Bob Marley as its colloquially referred. Compared to its northern counterparts, Aswan has a slower way of life with seemingly endless sunsets and the warmest of golden light that lingers well into the evening.
At the opposite end of Egypt’s length of the Nile, is the mouth of the river that pours into the Mediterranean Sea, around the historic Alexandria. Surrounded by the Nile Delta, the country’s most fertile region, the port city’s complex and multicultural history helped create a vibrant city full of architectural gems and diverse neighbourhoods, not to mention a gateway to trade with Europe and vice versa. Tying this all together, is a river synonymous with Egypt’s historical civilisation and its enduring strength throughout the centuries and remains a pivotal part of modern Egypt, particularly with the burgeoning threat of climate change and water scarcity in northeastern Africa.

The index includes 199 passports and 227 travel destinations, giving users the most extensive and reliable information about their global access and mobility.
With historical data spanning 16 years and regularly-updated expert analysis on the latest shifts in passport power, the index is an invaluable resource for global citizens and the standard reference tool for government policy in this field.
Robust, reliable, and accurate
The ranking is based on exclusive data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which maintains the world’s largest and most accurate database of travel information, and is enhanced by the Henley & Partners Research Department.
The index’s scoring system was developed to give users a nuanced, practical, and reliable overview of their passport’s power. Each passport is scored on the total number of destinations that the holder can access visa-free. For each travel destination, if no visa is required, then a score of 1 is allocated for that passport. This also applies if passport holders can obtain a visa on arrival, a visitor’s permit, or an electronic travel authority (ETA) upon entry.
Where a visa is required, or where a passport holder must apply for a government-approved electronic visa (e-Visa) before departure, a score of 0 is assigned. The same applies if they need pre-departure approval for a visa on arrival. | geography |

Housing market trends continue to diverge considerably among regions along four general themes: British Columbia, the Greater Golden Horseshoe, oil and natural resource dependent provinces, and everywhere else.
In British Columbia, activity is showing early signs of recovering from last year’s correction in some areas of the province. This suggests home buying sentiment may be starting to improve.
In Ontario, evidence suggests that housing market sentiment has similarly cooled following housing policy changes made by the provincial government in April 2017. Trends for the province are softening, with home sales and price growth in the Greater Golden Horseshoe region slowing. | geography |

Trademarks are national rights. Protection in one country does not automatically extend to others. Therefore, it is essential to consider international protection to safeguard the brand from potential counterfeit or knockoff goods, domain name infringement, or loss of business reputation.
Which countries should you file in, after filing in your home country?
- countries where you sell your goods
- countries where you license/franchise your brand, goods, or services
- countries where you currently operate, even if you don’t sell that specific goods or service
- countries you plan to sell in the next few years
- countries where you manufacture your goods
- countries through which you transport your goods
It is very important to seek protection of the trademark in countries where you manufacture your goods as counterfeits often originate from the location of manufacture as they have the best tools to create knock-offs. | geography |

A Crocodile, Elephant Tusk and La Giralda
La Giralda - Sevilla
A Moorish minaret built in 1198, last remaining part of the great mosque destroyed in 1401, is now the bell tower of the huge cathedral of Sevilla. In the photo above the area starting with the arched, differently colored masonry is last of a series of changes to the top. Drawings of previous versions indicate they were smaller towers carrying the theme of the brickwork below. It is my opinion that, unlike so many of the changes to Moorish architectural gems made after the reconquest, the result of this final version made by Hernán Ruiz in 1568 is an improvement. At the tip is a very large 16th century bronze weather vane, a giraldillo, giving this entire landmark and symbol of the city its name of La Giralda.
The shot above is from the Patio de los Naranjos, a paved area with little channels irrigating the orange trees. It was the place worshipers in the mosque would wash before entering. This area was preserved along with what became La Giralda when the cathedral replaced the mosque. It is entirely surrounded by a chapel and building-wall with an arched walkway along the side next to the tower.
One might visit the cathedral itself. It is an impressive, interesting and sometimes beautiful building. The great (Capilla Mayor) altar is a mass of wonderfully carved panels done over about a hundred years starting from 1482. The figures in the panels are about half life size and painted to show against the gold covered background. The cathedral is massive, second (some say third) in size to St. Peters in Rome. It also contains some weird things. One is the tomb of Columbus borne by figures representing the kings of the period of exploration. There is serious question of whether the remains inside are actually those of Columbus, but it is a nice touch. After a long rest in the cathedral one might decide to walk the ramps, built so horsemen could ride to the top of La Giralda, to see the bells and for the view. Just be sure to be rested. Somewhere around level 25-30 the constant, turning climb seems somewhat endless.
On the way there is a chance to view the stonework closely and also get vistas of the city at different levels. Little exhibits of the history, architecture and artifacts are in chambers of the inside walls. I was personally amused, though I doubt maintenance people share that feeling, at how the pigeons took advantage of deeply carved stonework as little cave dwellings. At either the opening below or above this one a pure white pigeon was so far back into one niche, only slightly larger than the bird, that only a wind driven rain could have touched it.
The top is worth the walk and most will probably want to stay for a good long rest. Even kids seemed worn out and possibly a little dizzy from the constant left turns at each ramp segment's end. In this view the Reales Alcázares, the Royal Palaces, and its gardens are immediately below. The palaces were inserted within the earlier Moorish palace. Isabel I sent explorers to the New World from her quarters here, but it is the Moorish portion that is of great fame. The gardens -- well I could have spent a full day in the gardens alone as they are huge, changing and beautifully done.
One strange little bit of the cathedral stuck in my mind from a brief visit many years before. I loved the city, remembered bits of the cathedral, had never climbed La Giralda, but one thing kept popping up in memories. I'd visited for a few hours while driving from Madrid to Rota. The cathedral and many other buildings were closed so it was outside views except that we could enter the Patio de los Naranjos. Hanging by chains way up in that covered walkway around the building-wall was a musty old crocodile and an elephant's tusk. What strange artifacts of the age of discovery or empire were these?
On my last visit (2000) they were missing. I was told this was only during some restoration work. Above where they had been was gray painted wood covering the stonework. The poor state of some can be seen right above the crocodile's head in the enlarged section above of a photo from 1974. Pieces may have been falling and creating a danger. I certainly hope the restoration included hanging of these artifacts that add that little touch of weird interest to the place. One expects chapels and relics, but a crocodile and very large elephant tusk hanging in chains? It is one of those pleasant curiosities.
I asked and found a bit of the story, but not much. The crocodile is a wooden model sent by Egypt's ruler as a gift long ago. I did not find the origin of the tusk.
Sevilla is not all old. It is a modern city with much entertainment, assuming one can stay up until things liven up sometime around one to three in the morning, beautiful parks and a playground of a river through the heart. In a walk over the bridge near the cathedral we were passed by kids, possibly twelve or thirteen years old, rushing across. My wife and I had stopped to look at the river and saw these kids joining more of the after school crowd launching kayaks from a boat storage building just below the bridge's other side over in the Triana section. Little squadrons of these kids and a number of older people were forming lines, paddling four abreast, racing and in general having a great time in the city's heart.
The AVE (tren de Alta Velocidad Española) connect Sevilla with Madrid. Some stop in Cordoba. The trip to and from Madrid is a scenic and very comfortable 2½ hours. I'd commented in Madrid's beautiful station that if this were Japan these Shinkansen equivalents would stop exactly on a mark telling us our car and seat section. Instead of the brass markers behind which Japanese stand I found larger green painted sections showing car number. Pleased at this efficiency I'd liked in Japan I carefully observed the minute hand on the clocks to see if we moved on the minute. We did. It was almost as smooth as I'd remembered the Shinkansen where on my first trip I thought we were late until raising the shade and seeing the outskirts of Tokyo racing by at over 100 miles per hour. Spain with Japanese precision and efficiency? Yes. And isn't it refreshing? It does not take a dictator to make the trains run on time! The AVE make the trip pleasant and very fast.
For some details on the area and cathedral see Atrium's SEVILLA CLÁSICA page.
See Catedral de Sevilla: La Giralda for unusual close views of the weather vane that is the origin of this name. The main page of Hispalis Net's Turismo y Cultura has links to much more detail on the cathedral, Reales Alcazares and other sights of the city.

The Central Texas region is the fastest growing area in the country, and Austin is a key draw. Austin stands out among other Texas and U.S. cities topping the charts on population and job growth as well as diversity. However, population and economic booms in the area do not always translate into prosperity for all.
In this talk, Dr. Lila Valencia will review results from the 2020 Census, recent demographic trends, and take a look at future growth. She’ll discuss implications of these demographic changes on housing, transportation, and other policy areas.
About our speaker:
Dr. Lila Valencia is Austin’s City Demographer. She leads the Strategic Data Initiatives team at the Housing and Planning Department and produces population estimates and projections to support the planning and decision-making of city departments, local businesses and organizations, and the community at large.
Lila is an applied demographer with over 15 years of experience in quantitative and qualitative analysis in both the public and private sectors. Before her role at the City, Lila was a senior demographer at the Texas Demographic Center where she monitored and reported demographic and socioeconomic trends to inform policymaking and planning for the state of Texas. She managed product development for the Center and led 2020 Census coordination efforts with varying stakeholders across the state.
Previously, Lila served as senior research analyst and complaint specialist at the City of Austin’s Office of the Police Monitor where she fielded complaints of police misconduct allegations and produced analysis and annual reports documenting these allegations.
Lila holds a Ph.D. in Applied Demography from the University of Texas at San Antonio, a Master’s from the College of William & Mary in Virginia, and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin. Lila has lived in Austin for over 25 years and enjoys Austin’s green spaces, live music, and cultural events with her husband Michael, daughter Ada, and their family pet Amaya.

The dredgers will be working on the river Jhelum, which originates in the Himalayas and flows through J&K, is the lifeline for the entire region. It carries lots of silt from Himalayas and settles it in lower areas of the river making it shallower. Thus, the river starts flooding cities and villages around, damaging fields and livelihood. Recently in 2014 Kashmir saw devastating floods in the state mainly due to this siltation problem. This is the main reason why the Government has invested in the two Italdraghe dredgers so that the depth in the river at critical places is maintained and the downstream is kept clear for water to flow as part of “the flood control system” in the state.
In this occasion, as for every client, Italdraghe dredges, our pièce de resistance, have been personally designed and manufactured by our team of high-experienced and qualified engineers in order to satisfy the specific customer need. Italdraghe has been in charge of every step of the operations, from designing to manufacturing, from installing to testing. | geography |

Raj has operated in some of the most inhospitable places imaginable – in both a civilian and military capacity – from mountain, desert, polar and jungle environments, right through to war zones.
Raj is one of a select few individuals that has successfully climbed, unguided, the highest mountain on every continent in the world.
Raj’s abilities as an Expedition Leader were recognised when he was asked to lead the Celebrity BBC Comic Relief climb on Mount Kilimanjaro. In this feature BBC1 documentary, he led the likes of Cheryl Cole, Gary Barlow, Chris Moyles and a host of other celebrities to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.
In doing so, he helped the celebrity team raise £3.3 million pounds from this expedition alone to fight malaria in East Africa.
Raj was also the Expedition Leader for David Beckham and three of his friends through the Amazon Jungle for the BBC Documentary ‘David Beckham Into the Unknown’. He helped successfully guide them, the BBC film crew and the production team safely through this challenging environment, reaching their end goal of visiting the secretive and normally forbidden Yanomami tribe; a special privilege and rare insight into the way of life of this remarkable tribe. | geography |

Joined by Yasmin, we began documenting the day at Michelle’s family home in Herne Bay on the morning of the wedding to take a few shots of the bride’s preparations to find it teeming with people. Michelle had been joined by her parents and her sisters and Faraz’s sister who were all bridesmaids, her gorgeously cute little nephew who was a pageboy and various other friends and relatives, not to mention the family dog who was keen to be part of all the activity!
Faraz had proposed to Michelle in Disneyland, so this was truly a fairytale wedding which had inspired Michelle’s choice of bridal gown and her arrival on a horse drawn carriage – magical! Michelle and Faraz live abroad in the African continent so this influenced many elements of the day, including the bridesmaid’s dresses and details at the wedding breakfast, many of which had been lovingly handmade.
Then it was over to St Mary’s church in Reculver to photograph the groom and wedding guests before Michelle’s arrival. This ancient flint church is set in beautiful farmland overlooking the north Kent coast – an ideal location for a wedding photographer! There were a few happy tears shed as Michelle made her entrance, after alighting from her horse drawn carriage – I’m not surprised – she looked radiant. I was given plenty of leeway to take photographs throughout the church ceremony, enabling me to take my favourite images of the day – a shot of one of Michelle’s bridesmaids drawing her veil back from her face and a delightful moment of shared laughter between Michelle and Faraz just as the ceremony was beginning.
As Faraz’s family are Iranian, the next part of the day, at the Kings Hall Pavillion in Herne Bay, featured Sofreh Aghd – an Iranian wedding ceremony. Michelle and Faraz were seated in a sofa amidst an elaborate set up of decorations, candles and several kinds of food. A fine fabric scarf was held over their heads by the bridesmaids and during the ceremony, two cones made of crystallised sugar were softly ground together over their heads – a symbolic act to sweeten the couple’s life together.
Before the speeches, I was able to steal Michelle and Faraz away for some portraits of the new Mr & Mrs by the seashore, just below the Pavillion. We managed to time it perfectly – the sun was sinking over the horizon, casting a pink glow over the scenery before providing us with a magnificent golden ribbon of light across the sea – ideal for a silhouette shot. What an incredible barmy evening – few and far between in the UK!

The Foundation has always supported landscape conservation projects, especially those that engage local communities. Our latest grant to the National Trust (NT) for its project in Northern Ireland is a good example.
Divis and the Black Mountain rest in the heart of the Belfast Hills. They provide free green space to some of the most marginalised communities in the UK. But the NT’s research shows that almost 200,000 local people currently do not use the mountain. This is despite the positive impact that being connected to nature has on our lives. The NT is therefore embarking on a major project to restore the mountain. The project will protect the peatland and wildlife that is at risk and interpret the mountain’s 9,000-year human history. They will engage local communities with a particular focus on the most disadvantaged.
We were happy to make a grant, over three years, to help this major conservation project in Northern Ireland. It will help local people connect to this at-risk landscape to ensure its long-term sustainability. | geography |

You'll be very impressed by the excellent lift system, which allows you to discover over 270km of groomed runs, many tree-lined, leading to adjacent villages.
This resort offers breathtaking views and snow thrills for skiers and snowboarders, as well as over 50 pit-stops in the form of very tempting mountain restaurants! It's little wonder it's known as the 'Ski Circus' to regular visitors.
The Chalet-Hotel Christina is actually one of very few chalets in Saalbach. It is modern, well-equipped and very comfortable, as well as being located just 5 minutes' walk from the main lift area and the centre of town, where you have the choice of cosy bars or more active nightlife. Saalbach (and the Chalet-Hotel Christina) has something for everyone!
But there's more to Saalbach than just the mountains! Apres-ski is a part of life here and the town is packed with lively bars and intimate restaurants, although come midnight the town can take on a relaxed party mood. A pretty, pedestrianised town centre also has a wide range of shops and boutiques, so bring a credit card in case you want to stock up on the latest snow fashions!
ON THE MOUNTAIN
Expect to ride large, open, well-groomed pistes for most of the day. There's plenty to excite the advanced rider - Saalbach was a one-time Skiing World Cup venue - but this is a resort more in tune with the intermediate skier or snowboarder, as red and blue runs dominate the piste map. Thankfully, you won't have to do much chopping and changing between chairlifts because Saalbach's pistes are well-linked and the lifts and gondolas are high-tech. Some of them even have heated seats, so you can stay warm on your way up to the mountain's peak.
With so much to do on the snow, it's easy to work up a healthy appetite. Thankfully, the area boasts over 50 restaurants and bars, all of them within easy reach of a chairlift. You can pick between live music venues with sweeping, panoramic views of the mountains, or cosy ski huts with a traditionally Austrian menu and a roaring fire. Whatever you fancy, a Ski Miquel guide will happily lead you to the best tables on the mountain.
There's plenty of relaxing to do in the Chalet Christina's salubrious lounge area, but if you do fancy an afternoon or early evening drink, Saalbach is renowned for its apres-ski. Check any resort guide and you will see that it is often voted 'Europe's Best Apres-Ski Resort'. The town has several busy bars, and they start early too - from around 3pm, locals sing along to Austrian pop songs and rock hits in the Goat Stall, a buzzing bar at the foot of the mountain and the hottest afternoon hangout in town.
Elsewhere, make the most of the Saalbach Happy Hour, which usually takes place at 3:30pm - Head to Bobby's Pub, which has a buzzy atmosphere and provides pool, darts and bowling. And don't worry if you fancy a quiet night, as Saalbach has its quieter enclaves and boasts around 70 restaurants to choose from, which means you'll have a wide variety of food to choose from on the Wednesday night when our chalet staff have a day off, so you can make an evening of it! | geography |

(Click on images to enlarge. If the click does not work, refresh the page and try again.)
In the mid 70s, the Penrose/Glockner Hospital administration, recognizing the need to expand out of the 2 square block area bounded by Cascade, Tejon, Madison, and Jackson, began in earnest to acquire residential properties directly east, between north Tejon and Nevada streets, a top priority being space for parking.*
Documented here is the relocation of residential buildings that were in the Hospital expansion area bounded by Tejon Street and Nevada Avenue on the west and east, and Madison Street and Jackson Street on the south and north.
The bottom Google Earth photo is a closeup look at the distribution of relocated houses within Colorado Springs.
The relocated houses marked in blue are originally from Tejon and Nevada streets, and are tagged with Numerals 1 to 14; those marked in magenta are originally from Madison, Monroe, and Tyler streets, and are tagged with Letters A through J.
The Numeral and Letter tag values correspond to similar values associated with the Current Addresses in the two pages of "Addresses & photos" linked above. | geography |

Bali Nutra’s Coconut Syrup tastes delicious in hot drinks, drizzled over pancakes, in cakes and biscuits, smoothies or in savory dishes like curries. Wherever you usually use sugar or honey – try Bali Nutra instead. Check out our recipes page. Click here!
Bali Nutra Coconut Syrup
Coconut Syrup has been used for centuries across Asia, it was even recorded that Gandhi used this in his daily diet. When I found out about the syrup in the Tropics of Bali, I was compelled to bring it to the UK, and to educate people on the benefits of this natural wonder.
What does it taste like?
Bali Nutra’s Coconut Syrup has a rich and smoky treacle taste often likened to a high quality maple syrup. It is very sweet and should be used sparingly, for those that can resist the allure, once you have started to replace your regular table sugar with Bali Nutra Coconut syrup you would be crazy to go back, after knowing the health benefits.
Where does it come from?
Bali Nutra’s Coconut Syrup comes from the sun kissed east coast shores of Bali, Indonesia. We make sure that the sap is only collected from Coconut trees that are not within proximity of 5Km to factories or farms that use fertilisers.
East Coast of Bali
Coconut Sap Heated
How is it made?
Coconut Syrup is made purely from the Coconut Sap of the Coconut tree or scientifically speaking the coconut plant, “Cocos nucifera”. It is harvested on average twice a day by local farmers, on small family owned farms, who climb to the top and collect the sap. The Coconut Sap is funnelled using a coconut leaf into a dried coconut shell. The Coconut Syrup is harvested in the dry season which gives Bali Nutra’s Coconut Syrup a unique taste, there are no added ingredients, so that it retains it natural qualities.

Volunteers can pick up Storm Drain Marking kits that include the decals, glue, safety vest, data sheet and gloves. The decals carry the message “This Drain Is Only for Rain. Do Not Dump – Drains to Creek.” It is an important message to spread because all of the storm drains in Mecklenburg County drain directly to streams and lakes. This means that every time it rains, stormwater carries pollutants from our streets, parking lots and yards directly to our surface waters.

California’s recent above-average rainfall is expected to have minimal impact on the overall drought of the community. The report stated, “During the weekend, residual moisture associated with Hurricane Dolores fueled showers and thunderstorms across southwestern California and western Arizona leading to locally heavy rainfall accumulations and flash flooding, despite well-above-average precipitation in southern California during the past 90 days, recent rainfall has had little impact on the overall drought situation in the state.” The report says the three-month accumulation of rain in southern California had little positive improvement to the drought conditions of the state.
A recent report from the N.C.E.I. says the west is experiencing the warmest June on record. According to the report, “on a state level, California, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, and Washington all experienced their hottest average-temperature Junes on record since 1895.” Continuous deficits of rainfall through the region causes concern for crops in Eastern and Central Washington.

The site itself has plenty of room for field sports, and groups have exclusive use of the site facilities. There are public footpaths that can be easily accessed from the campsite, taking you along the coastal path, across the fields to nearby Mortehoe and through woodland down to Lee Bay.
Lee Bay has its own secluded beach and is ideal for sunbathing, paddling in the ocean or exploring the rock pools. At low tide it is possible to walk around the cliffs to Sandy Cove and there is no need to worry about being cut-off by the tide as the beach can also be accessed via the South West Coastal Path and a set of steps that have been cut into the cliff.
Mortehoe, once a haven for smugglers and wreckers, can be reached via the footpath that runs at the top of the campsite. From here you can take a short walk along the coastal path out to Bull Point, home to the lighthouse and some of the most outstanding views in the area.
Woolacombe beach is just a few miles from Warcombe Farm, famous for its three mile stretch of golden sands. It is perfect for a variety of water sports.
The Victorian town of Ilfracombe is within easy reach of the campsite. This traditional seaside town has plenty to offer visitors with a host of cafes perfect for a Devonshire cream tea. From the harbour you can take various boat trips out to sea.
North Devon's largest town, Barnstaple, is less than a 30 minute drive from Warcombe Farm. The town has a busy high street with plenty of shops to browse and an incredible Pannier Market selling local produce. The town also has its own large multi-screen cinema, professional theatre and leisure centre.
For those interested in water sports and other outdoor/water-based activities, there are surf schools and outdoor activity centres that can be pre-booked for groups. More details can be provided upon request.

It has become a popular tourist destination in the last years. The town has a historical center with cobblestoned streets where cars are forbidden.
The Portuguese and colonial architecture has been perfectly preserved and several buildings have been reconverted into shops and restaurants.
Most of the island beaches can be visited by boats leaving from Paraty’s Cais de Porto. Those up and down the coastline can be reached by car or bus. Although the town has its own beaches, they aren’t that attractive. Cleaner and more deserted beaches are Praia do Forte and Praia do Jabaquara. The last one is known for its medicinal mud being rich in iodine. It has several kiosks, hostels and a camping.
Some of the finest and most easily accessible beaches are at Trindade, a fishing village with hippie atmosphere, about 25 km from Paraty. The beaches of Cepilho and Brava are ideal for surfing, while Praia do Meio and Praia Cachadaҫo are famous for their natural pools.
One of Trinidade’s most beautiful beaches is Praia do Sono. It has fine sand and crystal clear water. It is a beach with native and savage vegetation. There is a small fishing community that lives there. You can access the beach from a trail that begins near Laranjeiras Condominium.
Paraty is famous for its festivals. 40 days after Carnaval Festa do Divino takes place. Religious parades and celebrations are held along with theatrical and musical performances in the street.
During the third weekend in August, people from all over the country come to Festival da Pinga, to taste the many different kinds of cachaҫa, Brazil’s local liquor. | geography |
