The people of Maine are rugged individualists, the most stubborn set of people east of the Mississippi. They know how to fend for themselves – they grow their own food, sew their own clothes, change their own oil, fill their own potholes, set their own fractures. They’re often free-thinkers, unafraid to hold to notions their neighbors find faulty. Blazing a path isn’t an obstacle; it’s to be expected. Hermiting in Maine is considered an acceptable response to the world.
And yet, Mainers are neighbors. The kind of neighbors that don’t just lend a cup of sugar, they lend their blender and their chicken’s fresh eggs. They help each other without ever asking. They plow yards, cut wood, make meals, fix fences (or rock walls), loan cars. Part of Maine heritage is an unassuming work ethic. No one makes a big deal out of anyone, but everyone makes sure each person is treated with dignity.
It’s nothing to drive people to the airport (even though it’s a 2 hour trip one-way). In return, just a fresh cup of joe from Dunkin’ Donuts.
This is the way life should be.
But this is also vacation land – a place the world flocks during the 6 weeks of the Maine year claimed by summer. Our coast is inhabited by strangers, and rightfully so. The rocky beauty is stunning. The towns feel authentic and quaint. The lobster is the best in the world.
But I know oodles of Mainers who rarely, if ever, eat lobster. They’re more likely to be grilling hot dogs or hamburgers. They likely never visit the coast in the summer. If they do, the only thing they’ll report on is the absurd, urbanesque traffic. Trips to Acadia are saved for winter when it’s silence cultivates the serene.
Mainers have thick skin for cold weather, but when it comes to crowds, they’re a little flimsy.
People’s jobs are a patchwork of the state. Lobstering or serving in the summer on the coast. Orchard work or caddy in the fall. Lifty in the winter in the mountains. And God knows, no one is productive during mud season. The truth is, everyone just makes it work.
That’s the real motto of Maine – the place to live if you have enough grit to just make it work.
Maine is truly undefinable. It’s a place to spend days without talking to anyone, but it’s also one of the strongest communities I’ve ever been a part of. If you meet another displaced Mainer, you instantly bond. There’s no doubt, Maine is home for life. It’s a place known for the summer coast, but it’s really a place filled with fields, mountains, lakes and streams and winter for over six months. It’s a picturesque, idyllic place that’s economically difficult to survive in. But lots of us do with some creativity, a lot of thriftiness and a tsunami of stubbornness.
This Thanksgiving I’m incredibly thankful for the way this state has shaped me. I think it is easier to live elsewhere, but I think Maine makes it’s inhabitants better.
This isn’t just the way life should be; it’s a place to become a little more who you should be. | geography |

This move is in reaction to concerns that low interest rates coupled with Help to Buy schemes are increasing the likelihood of a housing bubble, as house prices across Britain increased by 8.4pc on average. However, this figure differs drastically from region to region as London reported a rise by 9.1% whereas prices in the north actually fell by 0.5%.
Clearly, the issue of a housing bubble is unlikely to affect the north, where Help to Buy is most actively used. That said, this is not a case of the north being punished for southern (or rather, London) housing concerns, as the average value of Help to Buy loans is just under £150,000 – over £200,000 less than the proposed new maximum.
These equity loans, which are currently open to both first-time buyers and those looking to move, require the buyer to contribute a minimum of 5% of the overall price of the property, with the government providing a loan for up to 20% and a mortgage covering the remaining 75%.
Theoretically, then, should a maximum loan reduction come in to place, buyers in the north who are interested in using the Help to Buy scheme will be largely unaffected.
If you would like to talk to someone about the Help to Buy scheme, speak to your Help to Buy agent, or contact Mike Carter at [email protected] or call 0151 264 7363 for any legal advice. | geography |

Like Rome, Richmond, VA is a city that was built on seven hills. With all of the hills in Richmond, you may be wondering what are the “official” seven, where are they located and what makes these neighborhoods a great place to live in or own a business?
According to a 1937 ordinance by the City of Richmond, the seven official hills of RVA are:
- Union Hill
- Council Chamber Hill
- French Garden Hill
- Navy Hill
- Gambles Hill
- Shockoe Hill
- Church Hill
Here at RVAbusiness, we are going to explore Richmond’s neighborhoods, the “Seven Hills” and uncover what each neighborhood has to offer. Stay tuned for more about the Seven Hills! | geography |

COVID restrictions prevented face-to-face meetings from happening and therefore project partners from different countries were only able to meet in online meetings and workshops. Luckily, during the last few months of the project, the CBSmallPorts partners, including SAMK team, could have a few face-to-face workshops and participate in a few events and fairs. At last, the final conference and final partner meeting were held in in Riga, Latvia in August 2022 for the entire project partnership.
Travel to Riga, 24.08.2022
The SAMK team took an approximately one-hour flight from Helsinki to Riga in the afternoon on 24 August. When we arrived at the airport in Riga, we took taxis to our hotel Wellton Riverside Spa Hotel located in the city center. After a short rest we had a walk in the old town of Riga which was very close to the hotel.
The old town of Riga had a wonderful atmosphere with historical buildings. Most of us in the team were taking beautiful photos of the streets and buildings even though a few of us had already visited the place some years back. Our walk in the old town, which lasted for a few hours, ended with a great dinner. The it was time to head back to the hotel to rest and to prepare for the conference on the day after.
CBSmallPorts final conference, 25.08.2022
The venue for the final conference room was located on the top (8th) floor of the same hotel we stayed at. After having a good breakfast, we met our partners in the conference room at around 9:30 AM to have a coffee and start the conference at 10 AM.
It was very exciting to finally being able to meet the partners from Sweden, Latvia, and Estonia after having mostly online meetings for over two years. That reminded us how important it is to meet the coworkers or partners in person and how the work can proceed when meeting people face-to-face.
During the final conference, the presentations covered topics such as small port development, energy efficiency for boaters and small ports, and development of networks and cooperation. The small ports are part of the tourism industry – they are essential in providing services to boaters and other users. It was mentioned that one euro spent in the small port leads to four euros spent in other services. The CBSmallPorts project results were presented by SAMK’s Minna Keinänen-Toivola. Minna introduced one of the key results of the CBSmallPorts project, an online platform called Baltic Small Ports. In addition, as August 25 happened to be the annual Baltic Sea Day, it was a great opportunity to celebrate the Baltic Sea at the conference, as well.
The last partner meeting with a tour in small ports and old Riga, 26.08.2022
On Friday morning, SAMK team and project partners gathered in the meeting room for the last partner meeting of the project. It was time to sum up the results and have final discussions. Jussi Sutela from XAMK, one of the project partner organizations, attended the meeting online. At last, we took a group photo and ended the meeting with a wish to work with the same partners in future projects.
After the meeting, we took a bus to visit three small ports in Riga and to have a one-hour guided tour in the old town of Riga. We had the chance to hear the history and stories behind the old buildings. Riga and Latvia in general, have an interesting history and hearing them while visiting the place and taking photos, is a great experience.
Finally, after a lunch in a restaurant with a beautiful view it was time to head to the airport and return to Finland. Overall, it was an amazing trip with the company of nice people, in a beautiful city with a wonderful atmosphere.

The plant, also known as globe chamomile, smells like turpentine when it is crushed, and it can cause respiratory or allergic reactions, according to the University of Arizona.
The plant’s presence by the picnic area in Casa Grande Ruins National Monument means part of the monument will be closed until a solution is found, the monument staff announced Wednesday.
The invasive plant, which has already taken root in the Phoenix area, was first found and collected in the state in 1997, according to the university.
The plant then spread south along the Interstate 10 corridor and into Pinal County, which is where the national monument is.
“We also ask that visitors avoid walking near or stepping on this flowering weed in other areas of the park to avoid spreading it,” national monument staff said in a statement.
Invasive plants crowd out native plants and can damage ecosystems.
Stinknet, which is native to South Africa, poses a serious threat to the Sonoran Desert, Arizona State Parks and Trails says on its website. The state agency lists the plant in its top eight invasive weeds and grasses.
“This aggressive plant has rapidly spread across the desert landscape, displacing native vegetation and altering fragile ecosystems,” the agency said — let alone its unpleasant smell and rashes. It also becomes a wildfire hazard in summer.
Homeowners, if they see them, are encouraged to carefully and bag the weeds, preferably before they produce flowers that contain hundreds of seeds, Arizona State Parks and Trails says.
Stinknet is established now in parts of Southern California, Arizona and northern Mexico, and it was reported growing in southern Nevada in 2018, according to the University of California Statewide Integrated Pest Management System.
Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, near Coolidge, contains structures from the Ancestral Sonoran Desert People. | geography |

Scientists say that ‘nature,’ untouched by humans,
is now almost entirely gone
Post reporters Chris Mooney and Brady Dennis cite a study just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in which its authors note that " 'pristine' landscapes simply do not exist and, in most cases, have not existed for millennia."
Some pristineness. Some wilderness.
This and similar encounters with what I call the Great Backcountry Garbage Patch have led me to conclude that the idea of wilderness is dangerous.
Much of Arizona off the interstates and major highways -- which is to say most of it -- looks like wilderness, though upon close inspection one finds that all of it has been altered by human activity: burning and other modifications of rangelands and forests, lumbering, ranching, hunting and fishing, and intensive resource extraction such as mining and quarrying.
Much of what looks like wilderness is also laced with thousands of miles of unpaved roads, jeep trails, and off-road-vehicle trackways, all strewn with beer and pop cans, shell cases, parts that fell off vehicles, and so forth.
|Scene from Arizona's Great|
Backcountry Garbage Patch
But get two or three million people who think most of Arizona is wilderness that can tolerate their recreation whatever it may be, and you end up with... the Great Backcountry Garbage Patch.
Infected with the idea of wilderness, humans can be wreckers of the highest order.
A more constructive idea may be to stop pursuing the chimeras of wilderness and pristineness and instead ask, What kind of backcountry do we want to have? Maybe we should stop seeing ourselves as outdoor adventurers going forth into the (supposed) wild and start seeing ourselves as decision makers. We have altered nature everywhere and there is no going back, but there is going forward. Shall we have a talk about reasonable ways to proceed?
In the meantime, pick up after yourselves, will ya? | geography |

- Phoenix (PHX)
- Portland (PDX) (beginning 04 Jun 2012)
- San Francisco (SFO)
- Seattle (SEA)
Allow extra time for possible weather delays if connecting through DEN in the afternoon (thunderstorms) or SFO in the morning (fog).
If you are connecting through LAX (the closest international airport), you may choose to drive a rental car (1.5-2.5 hours) or take an express bus (Santa Barbara Airbus, 2.5 hours) to Santa Barbara.
The next closest international airport to Santa Barbara is SFO, about a 6 hour drive (quite scenic, if you have the time.)
Rail travel to/from Santa Barbara is possible, but not recommended—the connections are inconvenient and the schedules are unreliable.
Lodging in Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara is a destination resort, and our lodging prices and availability reflect this. We have arranged for special IPAW 2012 rates (not including state and local taxes) at the following hotels.
To obtain these rates, mention IPAW when booking, and book your room by 18 May.
If you are planning on staying through the weekend, be aware that these rates will be significantly higher for Friday and Saturday nights.
Please book your accommodations as soon as you know you are coming to IPAW 2012!
Traveling to and from the Workshop
UCSB is located approximately 10 miles west of downtown Santa Barbara. Those of you bringing private or rented vehicles to IPAW 2012 are encourage to share transportation with your fellow attendees. We will be running a single small van from the hotels to the conference each morning, and from the conference to the hotels each evening.

We draw your attention to the fact that the Auberge is located at Le Pontet, about ten kilometres from Avignon (10mn by car). We recommend you to organise your travels (car rental, taxi, etc.).
Le Pontet , a former district of Avignon
Le Pontet = « the small bridge ». At the beginning of the XVIth century, a small wooden bridge was built to facilitate the way from Avignon centre.
The municipality of Le Pontet, born in 1925, used to be a former district of Avignon. It became independent when the citizen started to ask for more economic self-sufficiency.
Nowadays, Le Pontet benefits from its proximity with Avignon and the countryside around.
Avignon lies on the banks of the river Rhône. From 1309 to 1377, the catholic Popes chose Avignon to settle their residence and it remained under the pontifical reign until 1791, when it was attached to France.
Le Palais des Papes, The Popes Palace, located in the city centre is surrounded by medieval stone ramparts and bears witness to this story.
It is one of the rare French cities to have preserved its ramparts and his historical centre, “Le Palais des Papes », “Le Rocher des Doms » and “Le Pont d’Avignon ». It has been classified as world heritage by Unesco.
Its famous theatre festival, the largest in the world and a real artistic and cultural showcase of the city, has gone far beyond French borders.
The city was European Capital of Culture in 2000.

Ovi Maps Challenge is a quiz game based around my worst Trivial Pursuit colour – the light blue that is geography. This is the part that feels a bit like some nice marketing effort, and promoting yet again the free suite that is Ovi Maps. Even with it bundled in the firmware of most phones, people still need to know it’s there and that it is free.
Though I love the irony that Ovi Maps Challenge isn’t as free as Ovi Maps. When you start the game, you’ll see that the major continents have been padlocked. To unlock these you’ll need to purchase and download additional question packs from the Ovi Store – a nice twist on the free demo and premium content model.
Before you have to think about grabbing a pack (and they should address the ever present issue of what to do with a quiz game when you run out of questions) you have what is essentially the “world” question pack to show you what the game is like.
It’s not just straight ahead “Question, Answer A, Answer B, Answer C” factual dumps. Although the basic engineering is around that model, the variations on offer keep everything nice and fresh. Going from “which country’s flag is this” to ordering countries by population size, or trying to guess which country is which with just the outline of the border on show is a great way of stopping the rot of boredom arriving in the users mind for as long as possible.
The sixteen different styles of questions/challenges have a lot of variance on offer, not just in the question, but how you answer them. There are some where you get the answers in text boxes, some where you have to tap a spot on the map to locate a country, and others where you have to slide answers around to create ranking orders.
As you progress through the two available modes (“Quiz” gives you a fixed number of questions, while “Action” gives you a set amount of time to answer as many as you can), you’ll gather up points which contribute to your passport – build up enough of these points and you can collect a “passport” stamp for another country. Again it’s another small thing that keeps you coming back to the game.
Rovio are masters at pitching the difficulty curve and the reward curve across their portfolio to keep people playing a game on their handset. While they might not build up a big buzz online compared to others, once people actually have a look at this, I think they’ll be pleasantly surprised. it’s not an A-List title, but it’s a strong second-string and another smart choice from Nokia to make this available. | geography |

In their constant search of new fly fishing waters, Andy Manstein and Eduardo Barrueto from the Magic Waters Patagonia Lodge found a way to access the remote valley of the Rio Blanco, one of Patagonias last unexplored rivers. Hidden between glaciers and forest, this river meanders his way through one of the most pristine areas of Patagonia. More than thirty miles of untouched, cold and crystal clear fishing waters.

I would like to share a bit about myself so you can understand where my love of food comes from, what I've done in the past and what I hope to do in the future.
I can distinctly remember my first trip to Italy, packed off age 12 to stay with the Italian side of the family. I can't say I was that enthusiastic about the whole affair, that was until dinner was served! That trip completely opened my senses to a whole world of flavours I had never experienced before, mostly due to my Italian uncle Carlo's cooking, who god rest his sole was a fantastic cook and teacher.
Ever since that first trip I was hooked and I've been cooking ever since. I started out working in the local pubs, then out to the chalets of France and Switzerland and restaurants in Canada. I went on to train at Westminster college, while working under the Galvin brothers and then with Theo Randall at the Intercontinental hotel in Hyde Park. Theo is an amazing chef and a brilliant teacher who, unlike many others, has a lot of patience and a lot of knowledge.
After five years in the smoke of London, I decided it was time to broaden the taste buds and set out to travel the world with my newly-wed husband in tow. Starting out in his home of South Africa we journeyed through India, Nepal, Hong Kong, Thailand, Cambodia, Australia and lastly New Zealand, where we liked it so much we stayed and worked for an extra six months.
Inspired to start my business
Whilst traveling I experienced so many new foods, flavours and cooking techniques I would need to write a novel to tell you about them all! Lets just say it was an enjoyable education. During my time in New Zealand I was fortunate enough to work with two incredible ladies who have a wonderful catering company, B & V gourmet, in the spectacular Marlborough wine region. It was after working here I knew exactly want I wanted to do on my return to the UK. Ever since I have been throwing myself into creating amazing dishes in domestic kitchens, to ensure my clients have an amazing culinary experience.
In the Frame catering Ltd. is based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and we now have a team of highly skilled professional chefs ready to show off their skills in your kitchen. Currently we're localised to the area, operating within a 50 mile radius. We plan to expand this and eventually become a nationwide service.
We look forward to hearing from you please do contact us ! | geography |

On board, they’ll do what they do best—innovate and collaborate to find an effective solution to this growing global challenge.
Once back on land, they’ll present their ideas to ranking delegates from the United Nations.

The “Anti-Hero” singer-songwriter announced on Thursday that she will be spending almost two weeks in Toronto in the fall of 2024.
Her first string of concerts is booked at the Rogers Centre — a venue with a capacity of more than 50,000 — on Nov. 14, 15, and 16, followed by another stint on Nov 21, 22, and 23.
“Turns out it’s NOT the end of an era,” Swift teased on Twitter while announcing the second leg of her tour coming to Miami, New Orleans, Indianapolis and Toronto.
The mega pop star said tickets aren’t on sale yet, but they will be on Wednesday. In the meantime, verified fan registration for Toronto shows is now open.
American musician Gracie Abrams, who Swift has called one of her favourite friends while performing together in Ohio, will be joining her on stage in Toronto.
In June, Canadian fans were left in the lurch when Swift announced 40 new dates for her Eras Tour, including Mexico, Europe, Asia and Australia – skipping Canada entirely.
It seems Swift is eager to smooth over the rough patch with Canadians – the only other cities that got six shows were Los Angeles and Singapore.
The original omission pushed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to tweet at Swift with paraphrased lyrics from her own songs, posting, Its me, hi. I know places in Canada would love to have you. So, dont make it another cruel summer. We hope to see you soon.
TAYLOR SWIFT WILL HAVE ‘ENORMOUS’ IMPACT ON TORONTO
Destinations Toronto Executive Vice President Andrew Weir said Swift’s shows will have an “enormous” impact on the city’s tourism and hospitality industries when they need it most.
“Thats a critical time for our industry, just as the time when a lot of business travel starts to subside, leisure travel for the holidays hasnt really picked up yet,” Weir told CP24.
As the only city in the country with shows booked, Weir said he expects the geographic radius of Swifties inundating Toronto will be significant, and in turn, reflect a substantial monetary value.
On average, Era Tour fans are spending U.S. $1,300 – equivalent to more than $1,700 in Canada – on tickets, merchandise, alcohol, food, parking and hotels, Canadian music correspondent Eric Alper told CP24.
“You tabulate that, she could be raking in anywhere between $75 million and $100 million just based on these six dates alone,” Alper said.
He notes that several days linger between Swift’s Toronto shows, which could leave room for more dates to be announced, or even a quick visit to stages in another major city, like Montreal or Vancouver.
THE ERAS TOUR SO FAR
The first leg of the Eras Tour launched in March with the final date booked in Brazil at the end of November 2023.After a few months to rest her vocal cords, Swift will be back on stage in Tokyo in February 2024.
The three-hour concert takes fans through the eras of the Grammy-winner’s 17-year career, spanning from “Love Story” in her earliest era to her most recent “Anti-Hero.”
With the first stretch of the tour nearly in the rear-view, Swift wrote, “really blows my mind that we have one last city on the US leg,” on Instagram this week before heading to Santa Clara.
More than halfway through the eight-month stretch, and the hype for her tour has only roared louder, with her Seattle concert generating seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake just last week.
While Canadian Swifties are rejoicing about the new tour dates, securing tickets could be a battle in itself. When tickets for the first leg of her Eras Tour were released, Swift broke Ticketmaster with insufficient supply to meet the extraordinary fan demand. | geography |

All began in 1988 in a small town called Deer Park located in the Southeast area of Houston. Gennaro and his brother Antonio quickly became well known within the community by offering unique dishes rooted from recipes handed down through many generations. What was then, and still operating, Antonio's, has been transformed to a cozy rustic setting in the Texas hill country now named Gennaro's Trattoria.
The family is very excited to now be expanding Gennaro's to New Braunfels! With this being our fourth operating location, we are overwhelmed with excitement and cannot wait to offer our passion with another great community. | geography |

If the layout and feel of the slot seems familiar to you, that is because many in the G+ range have the same basic system and are just different covers with different themes.
Zanzibar offers you five reels with 30 paylines, a replicating wild and a free spins bonus. This is a medium to high variance slot, which means that you stand a big chance of hitting the free spins round, but a smaller chance of hitting the jackpot. Zanzibar can be played for both real and free money, and with its pretty low minimum wager it caters for all budgets.
Firstly you may be asking what on earth is Zanzibar? Zanzibar is an island off the coast of East Africa. Its population is mostly Arabic, and its one and only city holds the record of being the first city on earth to have electric streetlights.
Zanzibar the slot has a rather pretty Arabic theme, with a nod to the actual island by way of a sunset with palm trees in the background of the reels. The rest of the theme doesn’t have a whole lot to do with the tropical island, and more just the Arabic part of it.
The reels themselves are a sandy brown, with the symbol’s graphics being more simplified than arty. The buttons at the bottom are the familiar blue and gold from WMS, and are neatly laid out with nothing confusing going on. This is a simple slot, easy to understand with no added frills more like slots in Canada.
The reels are packed with suitably Arabic symbols, most of which actually wouldn’t be found anywhere near the island of Zanzibar, but that is beside the point. You can find Arabian horses, a female burkha clad Arabic warrior, Arabic jewellery, scimitars, and Arabic ornaments. The base symbols are the suites from a deck of cards, namely Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs and Spades all done to look like colourful jewels. A Free Spins Bonus symbol can also be found, as can a Sunset Palms replicating wild.
Zanzibar Special Features
There are only really two special features in the game; the fist is the replicating wild in the form of a sunset and a palm tree. This symbol appears on reel three, it can replicate across all the reels as a wild, taking the place of all other symbols except the bonus symbol. This feature is available on both the base game and in the free spins bonus round, which can lead to some very interesting winnings.
Free spins bonus symbol is found through out the reels, and three or more of these will launch the free spins bonus round. This bonus round is Zanzibar’s main feature and can be launched quite often. The more bonus symbols that you find, the more free spins you will be awarded.
The most a player can find is five bonus symbols, which will result in a pretty neat forty free spins. Remember that during this round you can find replicating wilds as well, which all add up. Every win during the free spins round comes with a two times multiplier as well. | geography |

The summer solstice on June 20th is the longest day of the year. It's also referred to as "midsummer" even though it is the first day of summer and the end of spring. But living in the middle of a cold prairie province means that, for me, I just planted my garden, the cottage was just opened a few weeks ago, and my white skin is just starting to get a glow. It hardly feels like "midsummer" everywhere in the northern hemisphere, even though some places have been enjoying blistering heat for months already! The solstice is also an indicator that the hottest months are ahead. So why not reign in this natural occurrence with a little celebration, the way previous traditions did?
Since the days following the summer solstice begin to shorten, the solstice was traditionally a time to celebrate the sun. The word solstice loosely translates to “sun stand still,” and its influence has always been extremely important to agricultural societies. This day was a special time to gather and celebrate, and honour the sun shining in the sky, allowing food and crops to grow and offer us sustenance. Singing and dancing around a bonfire was the most common tradition associated with the solstice in earlier times. Many countries still honour the custom.
I get together with a few friends every solstice and equinox. It’s been a really interesting way to stay in touch with the natural occurrences of our planet, and I'm always surprised how changes of season often bring a lot of internal shifts as well. On the winter solstice, we ate comfort foods and shared things that we needed to let go of. In spring, we did a plant swap and talked about budding ideas for the new year. Now, the summer solstice is almost here. So, a fire and possibly an in-season flower swap is on the agenda.
If you’re hoping to find a way to celebrate the summer solstice, here are some old and new ways to do it:
1. Have a bonfire
Hilltop bonfires seemed to be one of the most popular ways for ancient Celts to celebrate and it’s still a very common tradition all around the world. In some European countries, it’s an extremely significant outdoor celebration; dancing, singing, and huge bonfires being the central excitement of the event.
Solstice idea: Gather your closest friends, set out a moody midsummer playlist, and keep a bonfire going until the sun dips below the horizon. Nosh on some in-season ingredients, and request themed attire!
2. Get yourself some flowers
Celebrating summer is a perfect excuse to buy yourself some flowers and have the smell of fresh blooms in your home. Who doesn't enjoy a fresh little bouq on her dining table? If you've got blooms in your yard, try snipping a few to build your own arrangement.
Solstice idea: Hunt down some ribbon, floral wire and floral tape, and snip or purchase some of your favourite in-season blooms to make your own flower crown, corsage or necklace. Maybe you can wear it to your themed bonfire celebration!
3. Light a candle
Summer solstice celebrations don't need to be loud, and they don't need to be bustling with tons of bodies. If you’re not feeling like a wild outdoor party, opt for something more low-key and celebrate the fire of the sun by lighting some candles around your house.
Solstice idea: Light some candles and have a seat to think about some things you’re grateful for or things you’re hoping for the rest of the year. Hold a piece of sunstone, and throw on “Here Comes The Sun” for an especially on point solitary solstice night.
4. Two words: Sun. Piñata.
If you're celebrating with little ones (or if you're a kid at heart), DIY a sun piñata to create a memorable summer celebration that your littles look back on fondly, or even look forward to each year.
Solstice idea: Fill a piñata with yellow ribbons, gold coins (of the chocolate variety, perhaps?), and yellow flowers and break it with your kids, or your best friends. Cause, who can turn down sunshine-themed games that remind you of childhood birthday parties? Bonus points if you use foraged sticks from the yard to bang on the piñata.
Midsummer means blooming gardens! Spend some time walking around and foraging whatever you can get your hands on (and isn’t on your neighbour’s lawn). Make a bouquet, hang them to dry, or cleanse your home with the smell of summer by burning the fragrant pickings.
Solstice idea: Gather some friends and spend the solstice evening wildcrafting and foraging together. You can also pick things from your own garden, and exchange your harvest with friends. Someone always has an abundance of tomatoes!
6. Get outside
Okay, but seriously: get outside on the longest day of the year! Go on a walk at lunch, spend the evening at a park, sit in your backyard. Whatever works for you! Soak up some sun. And hey, maybe you’ll get a festive tan/sunburn to boot.
Solstice idea: Dinner can be really special on the solstice. Set out some evening lights, make a light, in-season meal with crisp salads and fresh juices, and dine slowly beneath the setting sun. You can go formal and invite guests over to chill on the deck, or you can have a romantic evening picnic for two. | geography |

30 May - 2 June, 2002, Marbella hotel, Corfu, Greece
Executive Chairmen: Juerg Gasser (Switzerland), Toshitaka Nakamura (Japan) David Thomson (USA)
On behalf of the organizing committee, you are invited to attend the 3rd International Workshop on Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions on the beautiful island of Corfu from May 30 to June 2, 2002 . The meeting is organized by the International Society for Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions (ISMNI). The workshop will offer participants a chance to present their latest results in the area of neuromuscular degeneration and osteoporosis in relation to ageing. The format of the meeting will be such, that maximal time will be allotted for discussions. State of the art lectures will review key topics and new developments that have relevance both directly and indirectly to the main theme of the meeting. The program will appeal to medical doctors, biologists, physiotherapists, physicists, biochemists, veterinarians and dentists.
- the host Island
Ever since Odysseus washed ashore after being shipwrecked on his way home to Ithaca, the island of Corfu has been praised for its lush beauty. Corfu's mild climate and abundant rainfall make it one of the greenest islands in Greece. It's said that Shakespeare envisioned Corfu when he described Prospero's island in The Tempest. In later centuries, Goethe, Oscar Wilde and the Durrell brothers amongst others extolled its virtues. Historically a favorite haunt of European royalty and aristocrats, the island has an eclectic international flair, especially its capital (also named Corfu). The Liston, built during the French occupation, was modeled on rue de Rivoli. The old town's 18th century shuttered alleyways in mellow pastels make it more reminiscent of Venice than Greece. The birthplace of composers, politicians and poets, Corfu today is an intellectual and cultural capital of sorts. It's home to no less than seven schools of music and numerous museums, Byzantine churches and archaeological sites

While there is still uncertainty in parts of North Africa, Asia continues to provide a safe haven for foreign tourists.
Since the uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East started, people have been looking to Asia for salvation. While it is not alien to the odd uprising, Asia remains very stable and does not suffer from the time bomb effect that decades of dictatorship have created. While a 10 night sojourn in Thailand may not quite match the cheaper deals of Egypt and Tunisia, it will come very close, the main difference being the flight cost, not the accommodation, which is a lot more consistent in quality compared with many parts of Asia, particularly Malaysia and Thailand.
The rise in boutique properties in Thailand is a stark contract to the huge all inclusive resorts of Egypt and to a lesser extent, Tunisia. What Asian properties once lacked in the top end, they now have in abundance and that is child friendly 5* hotels, many with dedicated kids clubs like at the delightful Anantara Si Kao.
The Maldives also continues its expansion as a child friendly destination. | geography |

You may like the eTrex GPS devices just the way they are, but don’t refuse to upgrade before you find out what’s new. Well for starters they gave it a new user interface. A great new feature allows you to select profiles based on the activity you are participating in. It will adjust the menu options to put the function you use the most at your fingertips.
Next they included a worldwide basemap. The eTrex 10 doesn’t come with mapping features but the basemap is a little nicer to look at than just coordinates and dots. Just don’t expect scale topo maps or turn by turn from the basemap.
You’ll be up and running with your new eTrex 10 in just a few minutes. Open up the back with a turn of the lanyard clip and pop 2 AA batteries in it. With your batteries installed push the power button and sit back and watch. It will immediately begin locating satellites. This happens very quickly and you should be ready to go in under a minute. It will automatically set the date and time based on your location. It takes longer to locate you the first time. After that it will be much quicker. Garmin gave it their Hot Fix satellite prediction software. It is a satellite prediction utility so it knows where to look for satellites. In addition the eTrex line are the first consumer GPS receivers that are comaptible with the Russian GLONASS navigation network. GLONASS is reported to be 20% faster than GPS. Not to mention it allows the eTrex 10 to connect to many more satellites which gives it better signal streng
A very important feature that makes the eTrex 10 such a great GPS unit is WAAS. The FAA developed WAAS to improve the accuracy of GPS navigation. Basically, WAAS receives signals from the GPS satellites, does some calculations, makes corrections, and sends the corrected signal back. This improves the accuracy from about 50 feet of your actual location to within 10 feet or better. Regardless of what GPS unit you decide to go with I recommend you get one with WAAS.
Not to be overlooked is the paperless Geocaching features. Just plug your eTrex 10 into your computer and download all of the geocache files for your next outing. No more paper maps. No need for anything other than your handheld GPS for geocaching now. It’s more convenient and you’ll save some trees in the process.
Waterproof is a necessity of handheld GPS devices. You’ll get an IPX7 rating which means you can drop it in a river and it will keep on ticking. It will save your tracks, store up to 1,000 waypoints, and tell you when the sun is going to rise and set. I think you’ll find all eTrex 10 reviews coming to the conclusion that this is a great entry level GPS. The price is right around $100 and it’s made to handle anything you can throw at it. | geography |

Greece welcomes new Women’s team
Greek Rugby League welcomed this week the formation of a third Women’s Rugby League team with the launch of the Athens Raidettes.
The Raidettes join the Aris Eagles and Patras Panthers in the growing domestic Women’s competition which will form the foundation for the Greek Women’s National Rugby League side that will take on Serbia this April in Larissa.
The Greek Women’s side played their first international only last September, going down to Turkey in Edirne.
Draws released for MEA and Americas Championships
The draws for the 2020 Middle East - Africa and Americas Championships have been announced with Pretoria in South Africa and Kingston in Jamaica to be the respective hosts for the tournaments.
The 2020 MEA Championship will see the return of foundation participants, South Africa and Lebanon, join 2019 finalists, Nigeria and Morocco.
Meanwhile the Americas Championship will feature both a Men’s and Women’s competition, with Jamaica, USA, Canada and Chile taking part in the Men’s, whilst Jamaica and USA will face off in the Women’s.
Tuks defend Gauteng title
The University of Pretoria Tuks have successfully defended their South African Rugby League Gauteng Conference title after defeating the Brakpan Bears last weekend.
A.S. Ayguesvives XIII tour Thailand
Elite Two Women's Rugby League club, A.S. Ayguesvives XIII, has just finished a successful tour of Thailand where the Women not only introduced Rugby League to schools in Ko Tao and Bangkok, but also helped launch two new Women's Rugby League clubs in Thailand.
The two new clubs are the Eastern Mermaids and Phetchaburi United and join the Moon River Wildcats and the Mukdahan Blue Birds as the four Women's clubs in the Kingdom of Thailand.
Whilst Thailand is not currently a member of the International Rugby League, the missonary work by the likes of Ayguesvives is helping to establish the foundations necessary for South-East Asian nations to become members in the future.
Los Huracanes lock in second Development match
Following their clash against the Featherstone Rovers earlier thie year, Spain's first Professional Rugby League club, the Valencia Huracanes, will travel to Rochdale this June to face the Hornets at Crown Oil Arena.
Huracanes are hoping to join the Rugby Football League's League One competition in the coming years, and are spending 2020 developing their squad, taking part in a number of Development matches against UK opposition, whilst also participating in the 2020 Spanish domestic season.
Balkan Super League changes Format
The Balkan Super League will shift to a 'Cup' style format in 2020, with the 11 teams from five nations to play knock-out football for the chance of winning the coverted piece of silverware.
The tournament, which will kick off in late March / early April, features teams from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Turkey, Montenegro and Bulgaria. | geography |

It is located within a favorable environment for gold and VMS-type base metal deposits. A large ultramafic complex underlies the western claims while four large regional-scale structures cross the Property. In addition to this, tuffaceous units known to host gold and base metal showings also occur on the Property.
An exploration campaign done in 2017 resulted in anomalous assay values in soil as high as 29ppb Au, 112ppm Cu, 600ppb Ag and 155ppm Zn. In particular, a broad zinc anomaly is located in the western area of the claims. Outcrop sampling allowed the identification of an anomalous area about 500m long on the west side of the Property, where values of silver up to 3.3g/t and 519ppm copper have been returned from mafic to ultramafic rocks (pyroxenites and gabbro). Very shallow drill holes (<3m) made on this zone returned similar anomalous values of up to 0.2g/t A, 498ppm Cu and 123ppm Zn. Finally, the same survey defined multiple beep-mat anomalies on the west portion of the Property. On the northeast side of the Property is the Ruisseau-Dalime showing, which returned mineralisation in a basaltic unit, of values of 1.0g/t au over 1.6m and 1.4g/t Au over 0.6m (Bouchat, 1985). Those results indicate good potential for gold or base metal mineralisation on the whole Property and additional work should be performed to search for additional mineralisations on the Property. Those results indicate special interest for the rocks located close to the Lamarck Fault which cross the eastern part of the Property. Additional faulting on the western area, coupled with the anomalous results found during the 2017 exploration program also indicate an area of interest in the ultramafic and mafic rocks in that part of the Property3m>.
The identification of several electromagnetic anomalies during the Beep Mat survey, the identification of anomalous soil samples and the observation of sulfides in historic core and grabs, associated with large scale faulting are encouraging factors for the potential of the Property to host mineralisations.
The Property is at an early exploration stage. The Beep Mat and soil sampling programs performed in 2017 identified several anomalies that would merit further investigation in order to assess their potential. A first phase of work should consist of a follow up Induced Polarization survey in the areas of soil anomalies associated with the 16 Lamarck Fault. A follow-up VLF EM/MAG survey should also be done in the cutted line to better define the geology of the area.

Aguaverde is a place of absolute magnificence, in our view, unlike any other we have visited.
It's a celebration of natural beauty, perched atop Cerro Eguzquiza in Maldonado, offering panoramic views of the countryside, complemented by its vineyards, majestic facilities, and an endless-seeming pool.
Its vineyards and grapes are carefully tended to by Bodega Familia Deicas, sharing a passion for wines. The main grapes they produce include Tannat, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay.
Some of the wines born from their vineyards are created exclusively to be tasted right there, at Aguaverde.
While it's a place that captivates upon arrival, making you feel like you've found your place in the world, what truly enamors people about Aguaverde is its people—the wonderful team that runs the place, regardless of their roles.
We were warmly welcomed by their resident sommelier, Adolfo Buguer, with whom we explored the facilities and vineyard. Later, we had ample time to enjoy their incredible pool while sampling various delights paired with their wines.
Following that, we indulged in a 5-course pairing lunch, specially crafted for us, never prepared there before and inspired by our group with great dedication and detail.
The selection of dishes and wines was simply spectacular, and sommelier Adolfo Burguer explained how each step was chosen alongside the team of chefs: Gabriel Obregón, Fabricio Montelongo, and Verónica Mendizabal. It was a pairing that was a gift to all our senses, difficult to forget.
Thanks a lot to Pancho Marqués, the manager of Aguaverde, and his entire team for making us feel so special, and to Adolfo Burguer for the clarity and generosity with which he shared his knowledge and the selection of such spectacular wines.
Infinite thanks, of course, to all the people who joined us from different parts of the world, as usual, with their incredible vibes, making this day so special.
No matter how many times we visit Aguaverde, each visit is completely different from the last because it's a place that never stops reinventing itself and surprising us.
Undoubtedly, a great way to start our year of wine adventures, already shaping up to be an unmissable 2024.

The Atlantic Hurricane season started on June 1st. Many experts project an activity level of average to above average this season.
This is troubling news for those that live on the East coast & Gulf coast of the United States. Not too long ago, there were evacuations in parts of Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. Thousands of people lost their homes, personal belongings, sense of community…and some even lost their lives.
The recovery is still ongoing in some parts of the Atlantic. Islands in the Caribbean, in particular, Puerto Rico, face challenges from last year. There are still thousands without power as we head into the heart of Hurricane season. The city of Houston is still reeling from the record flooding brought by tropical storms.
These are all stark reminders of the importance of having a hurricane plan in place. You might think that you don’t need one; after all, you can see hurricanes coming weeks in advance, right?
Never Underestimate Unpredictability
Ask someone from New Orleans or Florida about the unpredictability of hurricanes. Katrina wasn’t supposed to hit New Orleans…by the time forecasters recognized the change in direction, it was too late for thousands of people.
Last year, projections showed Hurricane Irma to grazing the east coast of Florida. Within 24 hours, it had reached the Florida keys and was on its way to Tampa Bay. It wasn’t until right before landfall that Floridians realized the storm was going to cut through the middle of the state.
There’s a difference between “seeing them coming” and knowing where they are going to end up. Being unprepared is a dangerous game to play.
The 4 Approaches To Risk Management
There are four ways someone can look at risk management:
Ignore the risk. Live and let live. Whatever happens, happens. This is, for obvious reasons, the worst way to view risk management.
Reduce the risk. Develop a plan in case disaster strikes and test it.
Eliminate the risk. Don’t live in an area where there are hurricanes. This might seem like the best option, but risk is everwhere, whether it’s from hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, or even volcanoes.
Transfer the Risk. Purchase a hurricane insurance plan and have an emergency plan in place. This protects you from immediate risks, such as having to evacuate, and long-term risk if a hurricane destroys your home.
It’s easy to see that option four is your best bet. Let’s look at how to transfer the risks you face while living in a hurricane-prone area.
Make An Emergency Hurricane Plan Now
It’s never too late to make an emergency plan. There are a few simple steps you can take now to ensure you’re prepared for the next major hurricane.
First, raise some liquidity including cash. If a hurricane hits your town, you’ll need access to cash now. What happens if you have to evacuate last minute but aren’t able to because you don’t have the money to get your family somewhere safe? Don’t assume you’ll be able to run to the bank; they’ll evacuate as well.
Try to save enough money for two to three months of living expenses. You want to make sure you can pay your bills if you aren’t able to work after a significant storm. This is the cornerstone of any financial plan.
Second, plan. Stock up on some extra fuel, especially if you live along the coast or in Florida. The day before Irma came through Florida; there were thousands of cars clogging the main highway and gas stations began running out of fuel. Keep some non-perishable food on hand in case stores close down.
Know where you’re going and plan an evacuation route ahead of time. You don’t want to spend valuable time calling relatives to make sure you can stay with them. When hurricane Irma switched course and started going towards the western part of Florida, there was a small window of time that you could leave your home, avoid the traffic jams, and find gas relatively easy.
That window of time was one hour. If you left after that, it doubled or tripled your travel time…if you didn’t run out of gas. Don’t take minutes for granted.
Buy some boards to keep handy in case you need to secure your home for an evacuation. Hurricane shutters are more expensive but more effective as well. Put important documents in an evacuation box. Don’t leave your house without your social security card and birth certificate.
Don’t assume that utilities will work, either. You’ll need water and a backup generator. The generator is of particular importance if you or a loved one relies on electricity for health reasons. Emergency services will do their best to help, but after a disaster might not be able to reach you. Have a battery-powered radio for updates as well as enough batteries to last for two weeks.
In the last section, we discussed having liquidity. This topic, and financial matters, in general, deserve extra attention. It’s often difficult to get people to take this aspect of planning seriously. As a financial Planning firm that serves the Emerald coast I’ve seen the good and the bad when it comes to hurricane season.
Imagine that you find out a hurricane is coming. You watch the news, and the governor tells citizens to stay inside and off the highway because it’s too late to flee. You might think this wouldn’t happen, but it did with Irma due to the late change in course. It also happened in SC a few years ago, only the warning came too late, and there were people on I-26 in traffic as the hurricane hit the state.
You hunker down when the storm hits, and luckily your house is intact, and everyone is safe. You feel good because you’ve got plenty in your bank account. What could go wrong? Why was everyone telling you that you need an elaborate plan in case a disaster strikes?
You realize your power is out, and your neighbor tells you that the radio stated it could be anywhere from three days to a week for it to come back on. Your water isn’t working, or worse, the storm contaminated it. He forgot to mention that the water is undrinkable…that radio would have come in handy.
You go to the store to get some medicine, but it’s closed. You find a few gas stations that are open, but with the power out, the credit card machines are down. They are unsure when they’ll be back up, leaving you sick with no medicine, no money, and no gas to get somewhere that can help you.
Your cell phone works, but you aren’t able to reach the emergency responders. Apparently, there were a lot of people like you that assumed this situation only happened on the news. You get lucky when your neighbor has medicine and some extra food because he planned ahead.
There are two ways to avoid this situation: a hurricane plan and liquidity. Cash solves most problems after a hurricane. Never assume that the money in your bank is worth anything after an emergency. Your stocks aren’t going to help you either. You can’t liquidate them after the fact, and in the immediate aftermath of almost every disaster, stock prices go down, meaning you’ll have less money than you think for a short time.
There are some wealthy people every year that end up relying on the kindness of strangers. Money without a plan is worthless, and a plan without money is ineffective. You need a balance of both to stay ahead of the game.
Homeowners that live in hurricane-prone areas know how much damage a storm can do to their property. The problem is that typical homeowners insurance doesn’t cover all the possible damage a hurricane causes.
After developing a hurricane plan to protect your life, your next step is to develop a plan that will keep your property safe.
First, go over your current insurance and see what type of coverage you have. Most plans cover wind damage but not flooding. Some insurance policies don’t cover wind damage though. Along the coast in areas that see high hurricane activity, many insurance companies shy away from this coverage. Flood insurance is a separate policy that you’ll need to purchase, as a majority of damage comes from the massive rain hurricanes bring.
There are some essential technicalities to remember when going over your insurance plans. For example, if the wind from a hurricane takes out part of your wall and that leads to flooding, most policies will cover the damage. Regular flooding due to a rise in water levels is not insured. Contact your insurance company for clarification if need be.
Deductibles are another area to examine. After the massive financial losses insurance companies have had to absorb because of recent hurricane value, many companies now require a separate wind damage deductible instead of a fixed one. It’s normal for this deductible to run between 1-5% of your home’s value.
Hurricanes aren’t the most pleasant thing to discuss, but it’s essential to have this information up front. You can’t control the storm itself, but you can control your reaction to it. Remember the ideal form of risk management? Transfer the risk by preparing ahead and having the right insurance to meet your needs.
If you need help developing a hurricane plan and finding the best insurance for your situation, contact us today. We’ll help you discover ways to plan ahead for emergencies and give you the peace of mind you need to enjoy coastal living. Don’t put your life or financial health in jeopardy when help is just a phone call away. | geography |

Who wouldn’t be charmed by an idea of a small Buddhist Kingdom perched high in the Himalayas whose core philosophy is enrichment of ‘Gross National Happiness’. Early Buddhist sites and undisturbed traditional culture sets Bhutan aside as the last remaining great Himalayan kingdom. Despite opening its doors to foreigners and being ranked as one of the world’s top destinations, Bhutan remains not too accessible to most not only because of its remote location but also because of its strict but impressive policy of ‘High Value Low Impact Toursim’. Within the folds of Bhutan's mountains lie sacred temples, stunning fortresses, dazzling rice fields and villages unchanged by time.
Their textiles are so vibrant and unique in pattern that people stand out along with the image of the kingdom. Trekking in Bhutan is a treat as are the stunning flora and fauna. It is also a kingdom of surprises and is not just a nation of saintly, other-worldly hermits. Bhutan is straddling the ancient & modern world and these days you’ll find monks transcribing ancient Buddhist texts into computers as traditionally dressed noblemen chat on their mobile phones. This is a kingdom where sale of tobacco is banned and chilies sometime make up an entire meal!
When you do visit Bhutan, you will become one of the few who have experienced the charm and magic of one of the world’s most enigmatic Kingdom also known as ‘The Last Shangri La’. You will be playing your part in this medieval kingdom’s efforts to join the modern world, while steadfastly maintaining its distinct and amazing cultural identity. | geography |

Celebrating Our Success
In Year 3, we love it when we can share successes and achievements.
Well done to Isla and Jacob for their class champion awards. They have both worked really hard, keep it up and well done!
Well done to Rose and Libby-Hope for showing their superpower of resilience.
This half term year 3 are asked to complete weekly homework tasks based on the rainforest. Children will also continue receiving weekly maths homework which links to the in class learning topic as well as weekly spellings to learn which are tested on a Monday.
Shay, Dexter and Isla from 3A have brought in some amazing homework about rainforest animals! It's great to see the children learning more about their topics at home!
This half term the children are developing their understanding and application of their 3,4 and 8 times tables. They will learn about fact families as well as moving on to learning about totalling amounts of money, giving change and converting between pounds and pence.
Year 3 really enjoyed their Mindfulness session with Mrs Plant and Mrs Wedge. The children learnt different ways to help them stay calm and relax.
During the Spring term, Year 3's new topic is Rainforests! We will be learning about all things to do with the rainforest in English, Guided Reading, History and Geography!
In English we will be working on the book 'Into the Jungle' by Katherine Rundell. It's a modern take on Rudyard Kipling's original The Jungle Book which focuses on some of his popular characters including Mowgli, Shere Khan and Baloo..
On a Friday when we usually do our Big Write in English, the children have started to peer assess each other's work. This is when they swap books with a partner so they can read someone else work and give them 2 stars which are compliments, and a wish which is something their partner could improve next time. They re all enjoying this so far and are feeling like 'mini teachers'!
The children have thoroughly writing their own weather report scripts this week and had the opportunity to become weather and news reporters! They were imagining to be reporting live from the Amazon Rainforest in stormy, humid and sticky conditions!
We thoroughly enjoyed creating our own rhyming rainforest poems in English. We then performed our poems to the rest of the class trying to keep to the rhythm we had created within our poems!
We are hugely encouraging all of our children to have a love of and for reading! In class we have a Super Readers challenge where each week the children must prove they've read at home out loud to an adult and then bring their book in to swap when they've finished. The aim is to reach the super city by the end of the half term. Those children that do reach the city will receive a reward!
Jacob and Dexter really enjoyed the reading suitcase this week. They both enjoyed the time to read to an adult with a hot chocolate and a cosy teddy.
In Geography year 3 have been learning all about the pros and cons of deforestation. The children then had a class debate as teams of 'islanders' or 'developers', on whether or not an untouched island in Australia near Daintree Rainforest should be turned into a holiday complex or not after reading the book 'Where the forest meets the sea' by Jeannie Baker. They argued their persuasive points to each other respectfully and with passion!
Why does the world need rainforests?
During the spring term the topic for year 3 is rainforests. We will be looking to answer our big question 'Why does the world need rainforests?' by learning about their climate, deforestation, the people that live there and more!
This half term, children in year 3 will be learning all about plants, the nutrition they need to grow healthily and will be thinking scientifically by carrying out a variety of investigations to do with plants.
In Science we have been dissecting flowers to try and identify each real part that we have been learning about. We worked in groups and presented what we had found to the rest of the class. Some of us even thought we had found the seed from inside the flower!
In French this half term the children in Y3 are learning numbers up to ten. They enjoyed playing a matching game to help them recognise the number words. | geography |

These wells provide drinkable water for schools and thousands of adults and children in the surrounding villages. Prior to the wells being dug some villagers had to walk up to four miles to get drinkable water. Below are photos of the dedication of the in Leala on June 6th, 2016 and photos of the well we dug in Moi's Bridge, Kenya.

However, more than a tourist attraction, this city is eventually becoming one of the most vulnerable cities to drug abuse and drug supply. This has increased the need of better facilities in the drug rehab centers in Wisconsin.
‘American Dairy land’, or the‘City of Lakes’, is an American city named Wisconsin that gains a lot of attention due to the beautiful lakes it offer. However, the city has been under the un-wanted attention of NIDA for the past few years, due to the increased cases of drug abuse in the city. NIDA is the national institute on drug abuse that is registered under the national health department of the country. The various surveys done by the institute keeps and tracks the increased or decreased ratio of drug addiction amongst people in various cities and states all across U.S.A. The stats that NIDA has provided for the past some years have shown a tremendous increase in the number of drug addicts in the city. The exact number and increased percentage is accessed from various hospitals and the drug rehab centers Wisconsin comprises of.
This increasing percentage is alarmingly increasing the need of the drug rehab centers in Wisconsin offers, as well as the need of the better facilities that can entertain any emergency case 24 X 7. The different types of drug rehabilitation centers present in the city can be categorized mainly into two i.e., the rehabilitation centers for youth and the conventional rehabilitation centers. The difference in the approach towards the treatment of the patient is the basis of the difference between the two types of rehabs that the city offers. While the former deals with the patients that are in their adolescent age, the latter offers an aid to everyone, irrespective of the age or gender.
Usually the rehabilitation centers that are meant for youth specifically are preferred over the conventional ones; when it comes to the treatment of the teenagers. This is basically, because apart from medical aid, these drug rehab centers Wisconsin offer additional counseling sessions, various therapies and re-creational activities to the youth as well. This is important (apart from the normal medical aid) in order to re-frame the thinking of the youngsters and chancing their perception about the society and drugs largely.
However, the medical amenities offered in both the types of rehab centers are almost the same, depending upon the substance abused largely. According to NIDA marijuana is the mostly abused drug in this city. This clearly indicates the increased supply of the same in the local markets. However, the latest innovation and creation by neurosciences have resulted in the invention of the modern drug treatment option. This treatment option offers treatment to all the addicts, irrespective of the substance being abused. This is basically a de-toxification method that gradually reduces the craving of the drug in the patient. This is one of the safest methods developed by far and almost all the drug rehab centers in Wisconsin offer the aid of this method to the addicts.
It is easy to find out the location of the suitable drug rehab centers in Wisconsin offers. The various City Hospitals on one hand can become a guide, directing you to the drug rehabilitation center that you need and on the other hand, a single click over the internet will expose you to a long list of the type of rehabilitation center you are looking for. To conclude, both the methods are equally safer; however, internet is quicker amongst the two. | geography |

Under 14 matches with other counties are being arranged and the Team Manager has been in touch with prospective players. Further interest is always welcome so if your son or daughter wishes to be considered for the matches please contact Trevor Dickerson via email [email protected]
Qualification for the team is through birth or residence or attendance at school in Essex which includes the present unitary authorities of Southend and Thurrock plus the London Boroughs of Havering, Waltham Forest, Redbridge, Barking & Dagenham, Newham and Tower Hamlets.
Some areas of Essex appear to have few junior players so we would be especially pleased to hear from players in areas such as Epping, Harlow, Billericay, Braintree and Clacton who might wish to play for County teams and take part in Essex tournaments. | geography |

With a rich heritage and myriad attractions, the country is among the most popular tourist destinations in the world. It covers an area of 32, 87,263 sq. km, extending from the snow-covered Himalayan heights to the tropical rain forests of the south. As the 7th largest country in the world, India stands apart from the rest of Asia, marked off as it is by mountains and the sea, which give the country a distinct geographical entity.
Any tour to India is sure to be an adventure. That is inherent in the nature of this land, which is at once mind-boggling and inspiring, imperfect and incredible.
From north to south, India’s geography is captivating. At hill stations in Himachal Pradesh wake up to views of the snow-capped peaks of the mighty Himalayas. The peninsula of India has a 4,600-mile-long coastline with a diverse range of sites: Goa’s sandy beaches, the mangroves of the Sundarbans, historic seaside temples at Mamallapuram. And there’s Kanyakumari, the southernmost tip of India, where the Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean, and Bay of Bengal meet.
A country by name, but a continent in scale, India in one word is diversity.
The best time to visit India depends on which part of the country you travel to. We are happy to plan the best India tours for you depending on what you want to see and do. To help you decide, here is an overview on when to holiday in India.

I hope that you have spent memorable moments in Iasi during the Excellence in Orthodontics – Vision for the Future Congress and that the themes approached by the invited lecturers from all over the world are useful experiences for our daily practice.
Special gratitude for the lecturers for their utmost dedication in presenting topics of maximum interest and importance. This year’s participation was an exceptional one: 30 invited lecturers from abroad (Albania, Bulgaria, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Republic of Moldova, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, UK, USA) and 27 invited lecturers from the university centers of tradition in Romania.
Our younger colleagues, 26 young orthodontists and postgraduate students (Albania, Greece, Pakistan, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Turkey, Ukraine), also shared their work, bringing a breath of fresh air with their oral presentations and posters.
I am convinced that you found this congress both interesting and stimulating and hope that you enjoyed meeting old friends and making new contacts.
I look forward to seeing you again at the next scientific manifestations: the Association Internationale des Orthodontistes Francophones (AIOF) Congress also in Iasi, 23-25 May 2019, at the World Implant Orthodontic Conference and 10th AREO Congress in Bucharest, 23-26 October 2019, and at the 2019 BAOS Congress!
With kindest regards,
