A new project in the Caribbean is starting to save coral reefs – and the world
The Ocean-Shot Project, led by climate scientist Dr Deborah Brosnan, was launched in 2021 to develop a “massive, first-of-its-kind” coral reef restoration initiative. caribbean Country Antigua and Barbuda.
“We lose more coral reefs in a day than we can restore in a decade,” Brosnan told CBS News. “Our progress toward protecting coral reefs — which ultimately protect us — is too slow. So Ocean-Shot is literally rebuilding reefs, architecting reefs, for the future.”
What sets this project apart from others? Coral Reef Restoration Project Its focus is – reef architecture. While many initiatives prioritize coral conservation, Ocean-Shot places an additional focus on creating the foundation for those corals to grow and thrive.
The coral secretes calcium carbonate, forming a type of concrete around itself that becomes the structure of the reef. But that process could take “hundreds of thousands of years,” Brosnan said. and with Coral washing With global and ocean temperatures expected to intensify in the coming decades, this could be a problem the wall Must be able to recover that.
“What we’re doing is we’re saying, ‘Let’s learn from coral, let’s learn from nature,'” Brosnan said. “And let’s make it happen fast.”
To make this happen, his team is building reef structures in a lab and then planting them in the ocean, a process Brosnan likens to “gardening.” The team is planting “resilient coral” in structures that have already survived several bleaching events.
About six months ago, his team deployed the first set of these structures, called modules, in the seas around Antigua and Barbuda. And it is already seeing significant success.
“97-98% of the corals we transplanted survived. And we now have 26 new species that have moved in on their own … everything from parrot fish to commercial fish to commercial lobster,” Brosnan said. “We saw that an entire ecosystem began to recognize these reefs as home and moved right in. So what this told us is that if we provide living structures, the ecosystem will respond in return.”
Brosnan said thriving coral reefs not only helps marine life thrive, but also helps humanity survive.
Coral reefs are essential for protecting coastlines from erosion, and when reefs are close to the ocean surface, Brosnan said they can break about 95% of incoming wave energy. This allows the energy of strong waves to break before they hit shore, protecting shorelines as well as beaches and making communities and coastlines more resilient. Read aloud And climate change, he said.
Coral reefs are an important source of food and income for more than half a billion people around the world, with the net economic value of reefs estimated to be “tens of billions of dollars per year,” according to NOAA.
Collaborating with billionaire philanthropist and entrepreneur John Paul DeJoria was an essential part of the project’s success, Brosnan said, as was the support of the country’s prime minister, Gaston Brown. With enough support, the project could be scaled up around the world, Brosnan said.
At the end of the day, Brosnan said, “our planet is at stake.”
“We’re helping the reef through this transformation of what our planet used to be, what it actually is today, and what it’s going to be in the future,” he said. “Corals are more resilient. If we create the right conditions for them, they will thrive.”

Before you start to measure for your borders, square up the centre piece first. When the top was first sewn together it measured 32" x 40" approx. After I had cut with the Lil Twister it came down to about 18" x 27", as you can see you loose a lot. Upon completion all the sides are bias, so you have to treat it very kindly.
I didn't loose a lot with the squaring up. Maybe 1/8" on each side. I measured for the top and bottom borders and then pinned in place. Before I began to sew I checked which way the seams were facing
I wanted to try something new for a border I've never done before. As this was a small piece and I had nothing to loose, I thought now was the time. I auditioned the fabric on my flannel board and was quite happy with the outcome.
I did notice once these fabrics were up that the oranges popped as did the bright turquoise. I liked the effect. TIP: If you want to try something you've never done before, do it on something small first. You may like it you may not, but you won't be out a bundle of money if you try it and you hate it and wouldn't it be a beggar if you had done it on a queen size quilt.
Always give it a go on a flannel/design wall first. It saves a lot of headaches.
If you don't have room for a design wall in your sewing space, you can either make or buy a portable one. There are a few on the market or you can make your own. Mine is homemade. I had Karl take the door off the laundry room and we (as in I suggested and her did it) put flannel on it. It is on a slight angle so hopefully when the cat walks by the pieces don't fall on the floor. When she was little she would take flying leaps at my blocks. That was stopped quickly by her Momma!
I finished the top. It took me a morning measuring, cutting, sewing, measuring, cutting, sewing.
I first did the top and bottom and then the two sides.
I found the centre of the side of the quilt and marked it with a pin.
I measured it from the top of the border fabric to the pin and added 1/4" to allow for the seam allowance. I did the same for the bottom half. I sewed them together and then pinned in the centre and the two ends, and worked my way in from the ends pinning without stretching. I then sewed it in place.
I followed the same course when I did border number two.
I plan on using up the fabrics for the binding. I'm cutting them in half so I should have about 20" strips, then sew one orange, one turquoise, one orange, one turquoise. I am not going to try to put the turquoise where the orange is and the orange where the turqouise is. One little mistake and it will stick out like a sore thumb.
The quilting will be quite simple on this. I don't want to detract from the pinwheels and I'm going to pick up a flower for the borders that was originally in one of the fabrics. I have enlarged it considerably on the computer. I'm using white thread in the centre and a variegated in the border.
This quilt I will be using that knit fabric on the back. I measured to make sure it fits. This little one is going to my neighbour for her little girl's tummy time. The quilt I gave her will be coming back so I can put a sleeve on the back so it can hang on the wall. Its too nice to use I was told by her Mommy.
Finally, we sat down on Sunday and planned a couple of vacations. We have them booked and we are off in May and July. May will see us in Ottawa for the Canadian Tulip Festival and I hope to get to here....................the Canadian Museum of Civilization. I really, really want to see this hall. They say it is beyond magnificent.
July will see us back for our annual vacation in Prince Edward Island. There is still a lot to see and do on the Island and these are some of the things we are going to see and enjoy one more time.

Tanishkaa Patranabish was born on 17 April 2004 in India. She is the elder child of her parents- Prince Father Patranabish and Princess Lipi. She is the sister of Princess Anoushkaa, a former Prime Minister of Vishwamitra and is also the paternal cousin of Dhrubajyoti Roy. Among other of her cousins include Princess Asmi, Prince Abhirup, and Princess Sarala. From her child, she was interested in dance and later pursued professional dance course in Kathak, however had to quit dancing in order to focus on her education. She is currently pursuing her higher secondary education.
Tanishkaa Patranabish is one of the three signatories of the foundation document of the erstwhile Children’s Group. Upon the establishment of the Children's Group, she was appointed to serve as the first Vice President and was in office from 15 April 2007 until 31 December 2009. During her tenure as Vice President, she had also served as a Cabinet Minister in the Council of Ministers with the responsibilities of Ministry of Finance and Education.
She was unanimously elected President after incumbent President Dhrubajyoti Roy stepped down to become the Prime Minister and National Leader. As President, she was also entrusted with the duties of Cabinet Minister for Finance and Sports.
She had stepped down as President in July 2012 and became a Cabinet Minister in the Council of Ministers. This time, she was removed from the Ministry of Finance to induct newcomer Sarala Baishya in her place and was appointed as Cabinet Minister for Sports. She was reluctant to assume duties as Cabinet Minister for Sports and demanded some other ministry, eventually, she was appointed to the Ministry of Education.
In May 2014 general elections, that were held after then Prime Minister Dhrubajyoti Roy decided to step up and new successor was supposed to be chosen. There was a direct contest between her and Sarala Baishya. In the elections, Sarala Baishya won and she then became the Leader of Opposition. With the sudden resignation of Sarala Baishya in December 2014, she became the considered candidate for the office of Prime Minister, but her appointment was delayed by the outgoing Prime Minister, as she was also the President.
In February 2015, she was elected as Prime Minister for the first term and remained in power until the constitutional changes of December 2015.
Following the constitutional changes, the office of Chief Justice was established and she was appointed to the top constitutional position as the state’s first Chief Justice and remained in office until winning the 2016 March presidential elections.
Tanishkaa Patranabish was elected as President in March 2016, defeating incumbent President Dhrubajyoti Roy with a huge difference. She was re-elected to the office in May 2016 again. During her tenure as President, she served as the Speaker of Parliament.
Upon stepping down from the presidency in October 2016, she was appointed as Deputy Prime Minister and was entrusted with the portfolios of Minister of Finance, Salaries, Law and Justice and eventually the Ministry of Home Affairs. She was again appointed as Deputy Prime Minister in December 2016, with the portfolios of Ministry of Home Affairs, Social Justice and All Party Affairs. In January 2017, she was made the President of the Friends Society Secular Party and continued to lead the party until its merger with the Friends Societal Congress in 2019. In February 2017, she was dismissed from the Union Cabinet by then Prime Minister Dhrubajyoti Roy and she revolted against his joining the Friends Society Independent Party. In April 2017, when the Friends Society Independent Party Leader Sarala Baishya became Prime Minister, it broke the alliance with Friends Society Secular Party and joined hands with the opposition party, the Freedom Party. Subsequent, she was forced to sit in the opposition benches as the Leader of Opposition.
Following the hung verdict in the July 2017 general elections, President Dhrubajyoti Roy suggested all the three parties to form a unity government to be led by the Leader of the single largest party. Eventually, as the Friends Society Secular Party had won 15 out of the 30 seats in the Parliament, its leader Tanishkaa Patranabish became the Prime Minister and led the unity government. But the government was short-lived, and she resigned as Prime Minister in December 2017 and was succeeded by Dhrubajyoti Roy. She became a Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance in the new cabinet.
Following the constitutional coup in May 2018, she was appointed as the President of the Council of Ministers by Supreme Leader Dhrubajyoti Roy and was in office until the Supreme Leader was forced to resign by the Supreme Court.
Dhrubajyoti Roy was appointed as the President, while she was appointed as the Speaker of the Parliament.
In the 2018 presidential election, she contested against the incumbent President Dhrubajyoti Roy, but faced a defeat in the elections. Soon after winning the elections, Roy announced that the Office of the Prime Minister shall be re-established for accommodating his rival candidate Tanishkaa Patranabish and was eventually sworn-in as Prime Minister on 07th January 2019.
Soon after taking oath as Prime Minister, she announced that she will work hard to serve the nation under the able leadership of her President Dhrubajyoti Roy. She appointed a 15-member Cabinet and accommodated Former President Sarala Baishya as a Cabinet Minister, which was deeply condemned by the opposition.
Eventually, Sarala Baishya and five other her associates broke from the Friends Societal Congress and established the Independent Party leading to Tanishkaa Patranabish submitting her resignation and the President announced a new election.
On 17 March 2019, Tanishkaa Patranabish led the Friends Societal Congress to victory winning 18 out of the 28 seats in the Parliament, while the opposition Independent Party won just 10 seats. She was sworn-in again as the Prime Minister thereafter.
In August 2019, President Dhrubajyoti Roy through an ordinance announced that the strength of the Parliament shall be increased from 28 to 32, and for which a by-election was necessary. This was a high battle of prestige for Tanishkaa Patranabish and her cabinet. Eventually, the FSC won 3 out of the 4 new seats, increasing their tally from 18 to 21, ushering a full majority in the Parliament. This was for the first time after the 2016 General Elections that any party had single-handedly received a majority.
In the March 2020 Elections, she again led the National People's Congress to a victory, defeating her rival candidate Sarala Baishya.
In May 2019, then-President Dhrubajyoti Roy had expressed his desire to step down ending his ten-year rule as the Leader and Guide of the Nation, incapacity since 2010. But it was during the meeting of the Central Committee held in October 2019, that his offer was rejected and he was asked to continue as the Head of State for life.
In February 2020, Dhrubajyoti Roy, who was also the First Secretary of the National People's Congress, announced he's stepping down from the position and that Tanishkaa Patranabish would succeed him.
In April 2020, three days before resigning as the President, Dhrubajyoti Roy removed Tanishkaa Patranabish as the General Secretary of the NPC and re-assumed the office. He had also removed her from the line of succession of the Supreme Leader. But on 13 April 2020, through an official communique from the Presidential Office, he announced his resignation and that Tanishkaa Patranabish shall become the Executive President from 1 May 2020.
On 3 May 2020, the Council of State voted for the new President and Tanishkaa Patranabish was elected to the office. But it was only a month into the new office, the country voted for a new system of government and she was elected as the first Monarch of the newly established monarchy.
On 8 June 2020, she assumed the duties of the Rashtradhyaksh and appointed Dhrubajyoti Roy as the Co-Head of State. But she suddenly resigned on 29th July 2020, paving way for Dhrubajyoti Roy to again become the Head of State. She was then elected as the ceremonial Co-Head of State with additional responsibilities of the Speaker of the Parliament and the Chief Justice.

Joan Didion's electrifying first novel is a haunting portrait of a marriage whose wrong turns and betrayals are at once absolutely idiosyncratic and a razor-sharp commentary on the history of California.
Everett McClellan and his wife, Lily, are the great-grandchildren of pioneers, and what happens to them is a tragic epilogue to the pioneer experience, a story of murder and betrayal that only Didion could tell with such nuance, sympathy, and suspense.

Found December 29, 2011 on
While I’m not a fan of whatever that celebration was, I guess Chris Bosh boomed hard enough in the lane during a tight game to do whatever he wanted. He earned it. For someone who’s constantly ridiculed for being soft, Bosh has had some dunking gems throughout his career. This could be right up there [...]
BEST OF MAXIM
USING YOUR HEAD
It might be the block of the year but is should not have counted because it was goaltending. It happened in the Miami Heat Charlotte Bobcat game.
Super star LeBron James goes for the powerful dunk. The ball goes through part of the basket but then the ball hits the head of the Bobcats Gerald Henderson, who was trying to block the shot. The ball the n bounces out of the basket...
So no sooner does Shaquille O'Neal criticize Chris Bosh in his new TNT studio gig, then the Heat power forward has a big game Tuesday against the Celtics and another Wednesday against the Bobcats.
The Shaq era on TNT’s Inside the NBA has officially begun. On Thrusday night’s telecast, Shaq was “Shastradomous” Where he gave his 2012 predictions. Ernie would make Ebony, I think he insulted a sponsor’s product but the best “prediction” what Charles Barkley is going to look like if he falls off his diet.
Charles Barkley as Precious was hilar!
If you are looking for the NBA poster of the night, it came courtesy of Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh who abused Charlotte's DJ White with this vicious dunk:
(Courtesy of Rant Sports)
LeBron James turned 27 years old Friday, or at least that’s what we’ve been led to believe. If you think that LeBron — a true physical specimen and absolute manchild — is older than 27, you’re not alone. His teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh both feel the same way.
The players wished LeBron a happy birthday on FOX Sports North, and each man made a joke of LeBron’s...
This NBA season is going to be a roller coaster ride. After the Miami Heat put it on the Celtics, they followed up with a nail biter against, the Charlotte Bobcats?? The Heat eventually pulled it out and won by a basket. Chris Bosh had a nasty dunk over DJ White. He said he was going to be tougher this season.
LeBron had a dunk that was ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS off of Gerald Wallace’s...
The Miami Heat are rolling early this season thanks to some high energy plays and improved team chemistry. On Wednesday night they squeaked out a win over Michael Jordan's Bobcats by the final score of 96-95.
There were several highlights from the game, but Chris Bosh gets the nod here with his one handed slam over D.J. White.
The NBA Play of the Year 3 games into the season?
Maybe. Watch Chris Bosh block, LeBron James pass and Dwyane Wade dunk.


BTS & Steve Aoki To Drop New Collaboration; Music Producer Praises K-Pop Group For Their Achievement
Korean pop sensation BTS is collecting achievements day after day. After receiving the prestigious Order of Cultural Merit award from the Korean government, the boys and their longtime collaborator Steve Aoki will release a new song anytime within the day.
Aoki dropped a teaser of the new collaboration yesterday and teased fans that the whole song will be released on Thursday. The record producer tweeted that a new collaboration with BTS is coming very soon. He also shared a preview of the song and shared the hashtag #WasteItOnMe. Moreover, the music producer/DJ also changed his profile name on Twitter as "Waste It On Me Aoki."
"Surpriseeee we're back! got a new collab w/ my brothers @BTS_twt coming at u tomorrow!! who wants to hear it now?? Tweet #WasteItOnMe to unlock a preview!" he tweeted.
BTS's fans have been speculating about the new Bangtan Boys' song for a few days now after a mysterious billboard was spotted in Los Angeles over the weekend. At first, the billboard showed seven multi-colored circles and a BTS word below it. Another circle is seen below BTS.
Fans immediately gave out their theories on social media that it could be a collaboration with a new artist. When the letter "A" appeared beside "BTS," many thought it could be a collaboration with Ariana Grande. The letters slowly appeared until it spelled "BTS and." Then Aoki tweeted about the new project with the Korean pop idols.
There have been reports that "Waste It On Me" will be sung entirely in English. It will be part of Aoki's upcoming album, titled Neon Future III, which will be out on November 9. BTS and Aoki have previously worked together on their remix of "MIC Drop" and he also produced the song "The Truth Untold" on BTS's latest album Love Yourself: Tear.
Meanwhile, Aoki talked about the BTS's achievements and his relationship with the septet in his recent radio interview. The musician praised the K-pop group for what they have achieved so far.
"We live in America. We live in the United States where the primary language is English. There's never been a K-pop artist that has crossed over and have been requested and had sold out stadiums across the United States - when their language is not English.
This is one of those phenomena that doesn't happen all that often. It's an incredible thing to see and to be part of and watch. And I'm so honored to be able to work with these guys. They're amazing guys," he told radio station 98 PXY in New York.
The most recent history that Jin, Suga, J-hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook had made was when they received the Order of Cultural Merit award from the Korean government on Wednesday. The group is the youngest recipients of the award, which is given to a person who has rendered the country an outstanding meritorious service in the fields of culture and art in the interest of promoting the national culture and national development.
surpriseeee we're back! got a new collab w/ my brothers @BTS_twt coming at u tomorrow!! who wants to hear it now?? Tweet #WasteItOnMe to unlock a preview! — Waste It On Me Aoki (@steveaoki) October 24, 2018

What is the #EndSARS movement in Nigeria? See why Beyoncé, Rihanna and more are speaking up
As the #EndSARS movement continues to gain steam on social media, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Gabrielle Union and more stars are using their platforms to call for justice and reform in Nigeria.
Since Oct. 3, Nigerians have taken to the streets to protest SARS, an anti-robbery squad established in 1992 to fight violent crimes such as robbery and kidnapping. However, officers from the police force have been accused by Amnesty International and other human rights groups of widespread abuses, including torture and killings.
The hashtag #EndSARS first started in 2017 as Nigerian activists brought awareness to the anti-robbery squad's human rights violations, but has been trending for the past two weeks after a video circulated showing a man being beaten, apparently by police officers of SARS.
#EndSARS:After weeks of #EndSARS protests against police in Nigeria, 2,000 inmates escape prison
In response, Inspector General of Police Mohammed Adamu announced on Oct. 11 for SARS to be disbanded, but officers are being redeployed to other police units. Calls for justice escalated when Nigerian police allegedly opened fire at protesters demonstrating in Lagos at Lekki Toll Bridge. This prompted more celebrities to speak up about the violence and injustice, including Beyoncé, whose visual project "Black is King" gained widespread recognition and praise for tapping into African culture earlier this year.
"I am heartbroken to see the senseless brutality taking place in Nigeria. There has to be an end to SARS," she wrote in a message posted to Instagram on Tuesday. "We have been working on partnerships with youth organizations to support those protesting for change. We are collaborating with coalitions to provide emergency healthcare, food and shelter. To our Nigerian sisters and brothers, we stand by you."
'Black is King':Beyoncé dedicates celebration of Black beauty, retelling of 'Lion King' to son
Nigerian singer-songwriter Tiwa Savage shared an emotional 20-minute video to Instagram on Friday, calling on "Beyonce and her team" to use their platforms to spread awareness on the events in Nigeria.
"You cannot ignore this. You cannot be quiet. Because we all celebrated the 'Black is King.' I personally was so proud to be part of that project, but please you cannot be quiet on this," Savage said. "If I'm saying that I'm an Afrobeat artist and we all know that this whole genre and all of my colleagues all know that this came from Afrobeat that was birthed by Fela Kuti."

Rihanna shared her condolences, writing that she "can't bare to see this torture and brutalization that is continuing to affect nations across the planet."
"It's such a betrayal to the citizens, the very people put in place to protect are the ones we are most afraid of being murdered by! My heart is broken for Nigeria man!! It is unbearable to watch! I'm so proud of your strength and not letting up on the fight for what's right!"
John Boyega has also been vocal about the events in Nigeria since protests erupted and is urging people to become more aware of what the country is going through.
"Nigeria has struggled for such a long time. Since independence, we have gone through various regimes, various changes in terms of political power and now Nigerians are very, very tired," Boyega told USA TODAY during an interview Monday.
Following Tuesday's events, the "Small Axe" actor shared a black image to his Instagram page with the words "Lekki Toll Gate Massacre" and the date "20-10-2020" written across.
"I don’t know what to say. To wage such war on your own people...They must pay," he captioned the post.
Burna Boy said he is "doing my best to make sure sanctions are imposed against Nigerian Government Officials" and urged others around the globe to "please do the same."
Yara Shahidi expressed that she was "heartbroken" by the events going on in Nigeria and directed people to her Instagram page for more information on what's going on.
"With the intentional suppression of news and devicive algorithms I've shared an #EndSARS highlight on my Instagram profile with the info and resources I've seen!," she tweeted. "Please check it out and recommend sources!"
Gabrielle Union tweeted a video of the violence and urged her followers to spread awareness about what's happening in Nigeria.
"We need everyone's voice to amplify what is going on as we speak!! The world is watching," she wrote.
Nigerian artist Davido, known for his hit singles "Fall" and "If," has been vocal about the movement since Oct. 9, using his platform to share updates from protesters and pushing for reform. After the violence escalated Tuesday, Davido asked Nigerian government officials "how can u even sleep?"
Trevor Noah used his “If You Don’t Know Now You Know” segment on Tuesday to educate viewers on #EndSARS and compared the events to protests against police brutality in America amid the death of George Floyd.
“This issue isn’t just unique in the U.S. Whether it’s U.S. police targeting Black Americans or Nigerian police targeting other Nigerians, police know they can abuse their power without any ramifications because the people they arrest don’t have the power to respond,” Noah said.
Author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie wrote an op-ed in the New York Times about her personal experience with SARS in Nigeria and shared in horrifying detail what citizens and protesters in the country were going through.
Artist Swae Lee tweeted: "Save our brothers and sisters."
Police:Niecy Nash opens up about George Floyd, says police 'pulled a taser' on her son in a traffic stop
Prior to Tuesday's events, stars including Chance the Rapper and Lil Baby offered their support for those Nigerian citizens in the midst of protesting.
Kanye West tweeted that he will “stand with my Nigerian brothers and sisters to end police brutality, the government must answer to the peoples cries.”

There was quite a bit of this kind of reasoning when questions were raised about President Obama's birth.
it is unfortunate that the mainstream media network CNN has allowed one of its 'anchors' to lend credibility to the racist birthers by perpetuating the myth that the issue of President Obama's proof of birth in Hawaii hasn't been resolved. Lou Dobbs is encouraging the racist birthers to continue the charade that there is some sort of conspiracy regarding President Obama's legitimacy as an American citizen. In fact, he used the provocative term "undocumented" on his radio show to describe the question of President Obama's birth certificate intimating that President Obama is like an illegal alien.
If you doubted President Obama's history, you were, defacto, a racist.
The first question isn't: Can Rahm win? It's: Can Rahm run?
Sunday, Rahm Emanuel announced in a video posted on a website that he is preparing to run for mayor of Chicago. But two of Chicago's top election lawyers say the state's municipal code is crystal clear that a candidate for mayor must reside in the town for a year before the election.
I guess, then, that those election lawyers are antisemites.Posted by SoccerDad at October 4, 2010 11:38 PM

I knew you would keep reading. Sickos.
After two long years away from my first love, I returned to Vegas in September for Melissa's bachelorette party. We got a two-bedroom suite at Elara: Hilton Grand Vacation Resort behind Planet Hollywood. Maybe it's the fact that I am getting older, but I really appreciated this hotel in comparison to the many others I have stayed at. There is no casino in the hotel, but it's attached to the miracle mile shops of Planet Hollywood and that place has a casino and enough restaurants and shops on its own. The pool was also not your standard Vegas pool, which was nice because it meant we could just throw on our suits, cover ups and flops and didn't have to wear our stilettos and club hair/make up to go lay out.
As a last minute decision we had shirts made for our travel/shopping day
|Bride and Bride's Entourage|
|Lovely view from our living room...|
|View from master bedroom|
We hung out for a while in our stuite and then decided we'd better start getting ready for our big night out. One of the girls knows some promoters in Vegas and got us on a list at Cosmo. The club has a few different levels and rooms, but we hung out outside by the pool for most of the night. Dancing on an actual dance floor in Vegas has become next to impossible, so since we got there pretty early, we decided to find a spot we could sit/stand in comfortably while enjoying our overpriced drinks.
|Pre-party sponsored by the Groom's Tequila Company - Mejor|
|Beautiful Bride To Be|
|The girls minus E, who was taking the pic|
The next day we got up, got some starbucks and sandwiches and headed to the pool.
It was hot, but not as hot as I know Vegas can be. We got some sun, had a couple of drinks, and recouperated from the night before. We headed back to the suite and got ready for dinner. While we were enjoying our adult beverages, we decided to play a couple of adult games...like pin the macho on the man.
|My choice, Chocolate Thunder|
|The bride's placement. Not bad at all.|
|Too much fun!|
After dinner a couple of the girls went back to the hotel and the rest of us went to XS at Encore. Apparently it's a pool club so people there are dressed in everything from bathing suits to Versace suits. It's pretty entertaining to people watch in places like that.
We heard that Little Jon was going to be there, but after a couple of hours we got tired of waiting for him and started to leave the club. Right as we passed by the DJ booth, he started his set.
We stood and watched his set for about 20 minutes, but it was annoying not being able to dance and we were right in the main flow of traffic, so we peaced outta there. I took a few videos on my phone, but they are rather shakey and there may or may not be some cussing in their by him AND yours truly. He brings out the gangsta in me.
After we left the club we walked around XS, got some soda water and limes for our flask contents, then headed over to check out the Wynn. They have beautiful flower garden walkway.
From there we called it a night. The next morning we got up, packed our stuff, and had lunch before we headed home. It was the perfect amount of Vegas for me. I didn't feel like death and we had a great time! I think it was also the least expensive Vegas trip I have ever taken, and probably due to the fact that I wasn't buying drinks all day, every day.
Did I mention the wedding is less than a month away? Can't wait!!!!

SCIENCE TO THE GROWER: Do Plants Need Water? Science Has the Answers!
By Richard Evans
I sighed when the Editors asked me to write about drought-related research. (Our long California drought already was getting me down. I recently was standing in an airport restroom, wondering if the guy in line behind me would think I'm a loser for not flushing the urinal, or if he'd think I'm a loser for flushing it. So I asked him. He told me I'm a loser.) I told the Editors my philosophy: When life gives you drought, resort to dry humor. I offered to relate some jokes about camels and deserts. The Editors ignored that and reminded me of the deadline for my article about drought-related research. I felt like I was lost with a witch in a tunnel of love.1
O.K., fine, I’ll do it. Maybe you'll laugh when I tell you that scientists have studied the possibility that drought could improve ornamental crop production. It's true!
This research has followed two main paths. The scientists on one path recognize that greenhouse and nursery plants will be affected by water deficits; they ask whether deficit irrigation — always irritating with some fraction of the total amount of water the crop could use — could replace use of chemical growth regulators. Scientists on the other path may agree with their colleagues, but they wonder whether there are stages of crop development during which the plants are relatively insensitive to drought. Their objective is to save water, not control growth, so they propose using deficit irrigation only at times when the crop is drought-insensitive — a method they call regulated deficit irrigation.
Research on deficit irrigation of ornamental crops has yielded mixed results. The growth of one-gallon rosemary plants that were irrigated at soil moisture sensor setpoints near container capacity was about twice that of plants grown in drier media, and roughly similar results were obtained with columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) and pinks (Dianthus gratianopolitanus).2 When one-gallon Bougainvillea plants irrigated to replace 100%, 50%, or 25% of normal daily water use, those in the latter two treatments were smaller and had fewer leaves.3 However, water stress also increased the number of flowers and cut the total irrigation volume in half. The authors of the study concluded that deficit irrigation could be used to save water during a drought without losing the ornamental value of Bougainvillea. Six-inch geraniums (Pelargonium×hortorum) subjected to deficit irrigation (60% or 40% of normal irrigation) were smaller, with fewer leaves, but they also had fewer flowers.4 The height, weight, and leaf number of four-inch marigolds (Tagetes erecta) decreased in proportion to the amount of moisture maintained in the growing medium.5 Unfortunately, height was less affected than plant weight or leaf area, so deficit irrigation did not increase the compactness of the plants. Together, these results cast some doubt on the utility of deficit irrigation for business that produce a variety of crops.
Regulated deficit irrigation was introduced in the 1970s as a method to reduce the need for summer pruning of peach trees. The earliest ornamental research subject, as far as I know, was rhododendron.6 One-gallon plants were exposed to 150%, 75%, or 25% of normal daily water use, and the deficit treatments were maintained for 8 weeks at four different times of year. Later experiments with Choisya ternata, Cornus alba, Cotinus coggygria, Forsythia ×intermedia, Hydrangea macrophylla, Lavandula angustifolia, and Lonicera periclymenum produced roughly similar results.7,8 Severe deficit irrigation generally produced more compact plants, and damage was limited to minor tip burn of leaves in a few cases. However, the studies were conducted in England, which is not exactly Drought Central, and the authors note that careful management would be necessary to prevent leaf damage under high light and high temperature conditions. Potted geraniums subjected to mild regulated deficit irrigation in Spain were smaller than control plants, but flower production was normal unless the deficit irrigation occurred during the flowering phase.9
These experiments tell us that deficit irrigation can be used to reduce nursery water use by about 20% to 40% without causing severe damage, but flowers and vegetation may be affected differently in different species. Furthermore, the timing and intensity of the deficit irrigation affect outcomes. Since regulated deficit irrigation involves closer control of water stress, it is more likely that it can be employed successfully, as long as species requirements are attended to. However, the success of these methods depends on both accurate measurement of plant irrigation requirements and accurate delivery of water to the plants. Nurseries that meet those requirements already save a tremendous amount of water. And that’s no joke.(Editor's note: see Summer 2014 Issue article: "Maintaining Irrigation Efficiency in Greenhouses and Nurseries"

In recent years, there has been a big shift towards being told that we are all extraordinary people and that we can all attain greatness – that we can all become legends. Perhaps this form of self-improvement advice has always been around and is now simply being magnified by the powerful influence of social media but I don’t necessarily think so.
There is an ocean of self-help books aimed at making you financially rich for example. Then there is the legion of popular Youtube channels pumping out inspirational and motivational content, telling us that we CAN be great and that we WILL be extraordinary…if we just listen to some ten minute speeches backed up by dramatic music and imagery of people working out. And let’s not forget the feel-good content enforcing the notion that we are ALL extraordinary people.
Being average = to have failed in life – apparently. Being average is to be a nobody and that’s a bad thing…apparently.
Before I continue however, let’s remind ourselves of the dictionary’s definition of “extraordinary”, shall we?
adjective: extraordinary; adjective: extra-ordinary
1. very unusual or remarkable
And here lies the biggest contradiction of all because if all of us could indeed become extraordinary then, by the metric of comparison, we would all once again be the same. We would be ordinary, not extraordinary. So to peddle the idea that we can all be extraordinary achievers living the high life is an outright lie. All of the self-help gurus seem to skip over this point but it’s hardly surprising when they are trying to get you to subscribe to their Youtube channels or persuading you to pay them money to access a simple five-step programmme that will have you wiping your nose with £50 notes and drowning in pussy within the year. The irony that they are making stacks of money from your desire to make money is so delicious, it has my mouth watering.
My initial inspiration for this post was Mark Manson’s book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck. It’s a book that I have referenced here numerous times (and even reviewed) and with good reason. The book contains straightforward, realistic advice centred around home truths and becoming more grounded. Mark puts the “extraordinary ordinary” contradiction like this:
Being “average” has become the new standard of failure. The worst thing you can be is in the middle of the pack, the middle of the bell curve. When a culture’s standard of success is to be “extraordinary”, it then becomes better to be at the extreme low end of the bell curve than to be in the middle, because at least there you’re still special and deserve attention.
A lot of people are afraid to accept mediocrity because they believe that if they accept it, they’ll never achieve anything, never improve, and that their life won’t matter.
This sort of thinking is dangerous. Once you accept the premise that a life is worthwhile only if it is truly notable and great, then you basically accept the fact that most of the human population (including yourself) sucks and is worthless. And this mindset can quickly turn dangerous, to both yourself and others.
The ‘dangerous’ part is actually quite relevant to a theory that I read about the other day; a theory that inspired me to finally write this post. It was a discussion on the problem of mass shootings in the United States and why there are so many shooters that appear to have lost their minds and all empathy for other human beings. Could it be that their disilluson and disatisfaction with society led them to unload on a shopping mall of innocent civilians? Could it be that they feel that they were promised extraordinary things and a certain type of life – that they are owed it – and when it didn’t materialise, they converted all of their bitterness and warped resentment into an ammunition clip before emptying said clip into a school hallway?
I’m no psychologist or expert. I’m not even American. But even so, I saw some potential truth in that searching explanation for these heart-breaking tragedies that continue to occur in the US.
Because the education system is flawed. It teaches children what the System wants them to know in order to to mould them into shiny new cogs to keep the machine running; to keep business running; to keep the rich and the powerful in rich and powerful positions. We aren’t taught the realities of life. We aren’t taught about the real battles that we will have to face as individuals. School taught us that if we work hard and make good grades on our exams then the pieces will fall into place on their own. Our grades will earn us good jobs, we will own our own spacious home and we will drive about in a nice BMW or Mercedes. We will have a beautiful wife and two beautiful kids that we love playing with in the back garden.
Except it doesn’t necessarily work that way and to lag behind on reaching that destination means that you are failing. I worked hard all through school and got great grades but I haven’t “made it” yet. I left education just as the banking crisis tanked the economy and so my grades and CV didn’t mean jack. Eventually, I took a retail/manual labour job in order to get some money coming in and to gain work experience and guess what? I’m still there. In a different role but still there in the same sector. Thing is, school and education doesn’t teach you that there are other obstacles such as personal motivation and self-confidence, both of which I admit to suffering with. After all, you can get the best grades but if you aren’t great with people then the paper they are printed on could be irrelevant. In my case, I’ve never had any real direction or firm idea of what I wanted to do.
Right now, I too could be severely disillusioned and feeling betrayed by society. In fact, I DO feel a pang of jealousy when I see a dude around with his beautiful lady and two kids, enjoying themselves in the park or at the beach. I think to myself, “damn, that’s where I should be by now.” In this situation, it’s easy to feel resentful and bitter about society. It’s easy to hate on other people. But I have to remind myself that everybody’s situation is different and that some people DO have distinct advantages or have had better opportunities. I am an average guy with an average job, an average pay, average looks and you know what? That’s okay. I have Grand Canyon-size space for improvement but it isn’t failure. I know that I’m not owed anything. It’s all down to me to work things out in my head.
Unfortunately, our lovely media is more than willing to finish the job that education systems start. We are shown a 24/7 feed of people who have achieved extraordinary things. We follow and idolise celebrities with fat bank accounts who are untouched by the “street” problems that we average folk have. We digest carefully-packaged TV shows that follow successful people and their money-making antics. We put our brains on the shelf and stare at “reality” television which, in fact, is nothing like reality at all. We forgo personal development and improvement for hours of watching our favourite Youtubers and their lives or scrolling through the social media feeds of those with more money and material wealth than us.
And all of it is force-feeding our subconscious a highly toxic message: if you aren’t like these extraordinary people then you are a nobody – you are failing at life.
If you aren’t earning wads of cash and driving about London in a supercar then you are a lower-class person who is doing life wrong. If you don’t have Kate Upton’s tits or Kim Kardashian’s arse then you aren’t attractive. If you aren’t living in an expansive, modern home then you are slumming it and are failing. If you aren’t the life and soul of the party then you are boring and irrelevant. If you are a guy and you don’t have a trouser-straining horse cock then you won’t be able to satisfy women in bed.
I could keep going but there isn’t the need – you get what I’m saying here. The message from society is clear: if you aren’t like these uber successful or beautiful people then you aren’t doing it right.
Being “extraordinary” is directly linked to success and how we elect to measure it. The problem is that we have a pretty shitty metric for success, especially here in the West. We judge the worth of others based on their bank balance, material wealth or physical looks and we are judged on the same criteria by our peers. Worse still, we compare ourselves to others – compare ourselves to the extraordinary people that we are shown by the media. We are all different and live in different situations with different backgrounds. To pit yourself against somebody else, Top Trumps style, is utterly pointless and harmful to your own personal growth.
I should point out (disclaimer-style) that we aren’t all guilty of being so shallow and misinformed. Likewise, not everybody is out to reinforce the fallacy of extraordinary = successful. But it is an undercurrent that undeniably runs through our society.
I’m also not saying that there aren’t useful things that you can take from the abundance of self-improvement videos and books out there because there certainly is. Anything relating to how the human mind works or can be utilised in a better way for example. You should also still seek improvement but it needs to be on your terms, not somebody else’s. You need to improve for yourself and for your loved ones, not for society.
Basically, focus on yourself and do what you need to do in order to feel happy in yourself and be the best version of you. Don’t do what society encourages you to do. Don’t aim to be like what you see on TV or social media. Most importantly, stop comparing yourself to others and judging your worth based on whether or not you measure up to them.
It’s okay not to be extraordinary. Being average is not failure.

I just keep coming back to read this particular post over and over again. It’s a timeless advise. Thanks!
Thanks. I think we can all benefit from questioning ourselves and facing up to mistakes.

1 Bed 1 Bath Ocean/beachfront Fully Remodeled W/sunset Views & Whale Watching!
Tracy has lived on Maui off and on for years in Hana, Haiku, and Honokowai and Lane lived on Lanai before we met in Lahaina and married in Napili over 20 years ago. Since moving away to the mainland we have always desired to come back to what we consider paradise. The beauty of Maui has us completely hooked. The sunsets are always amazing. The ocean waters are so clean and warm. We love the views of Haleakala and the west Maui Mountains. Recently we were able to purchase this condo and it has been a labor of love to remodel it and make it our own. Someday the plan is to move here and retire, but we have a few years before we are ready for that. In the meantime we return at least twice a year to this island we love so much to see our family, hug our son, fall in love with our condo again, and get recharged and excited about our future and present lives.
Tracy purchased this Condo in 2015
Why Tracy chose Kihei
Having lived on Maui before, we picked Kihei specifically because of it's many beautiful beaches, easy access to awesome restaurants, amazing sunset views and whale watching. It's central location is easily accessible to all parts of the island... and you will want to see it all!
What makes this Condo unique
We picked Hale Kai O Kihei because we wanted to be able to hear the waves from inside our condo and enjoy the sunsets & ocean's beauty even when sitting on the couch or cooking in the kitchen. Newly constructed homes and hotels cannot build this close to the ocean anymore due to oceanfront setbacks laws now requiring 40 ft away from the shoreline. Our complex was built prior to these new laws and so we are "grandfathered" and allowed to be located where we are . We love it so much here at Hale Kai O Kihei, and hope you do too!
Pool / Spa
100% refund if canceled at least 60 days before arrival date.
A worth while getaway
Beautiful place and location the process effortless
We will be back!
Tracy’s condo was great. Just like the photos. The view was amazing.
Sunsets!! well you just have to see for yourselves.
Convenient for everything. Beach, shopping, restaurants.
The condo had everything we could of possibly wanted.
We will definitely be back.
Great location and view
We had an amazing week in Kihei at this condo. The place was well maintained and had almost everything we needed - we did have to go back to the grocery store for basic items (salt, pepper, tin foil, plastic wrap, condiments) but otherwise we were set. There is a grocery store and coffee shop within walking distance which was nice. We made use of the chairs and umbrella, and on our way to our favorite “Big Beach” we rented boogie boards from Snorkel Bobs. The beach in front of our condo was great for morning walks and watching the sunset (followed by turtles beaching themselves for the night to sleep!)- however it is important to note that the water in front of the condo is known to the locals as “Tiger Shark Alley”. Not many people swimming out there which makes sense now!
Wonderful view and lovely appointed condo
We stayed here for eight nights, and enjoyed every one. Check in and check out were seamless, and the owner was very responsive to questions. The unit has an incredible view of the ocean from the lanai, and it was the perfect place to take a working vacation. It's also just steps to the ocean, and beach chairs are provided! The condo has been renovated and had everything we needed to make meals. There is a real sense of community in this building, which is smaller than many in Kihei (and we prefer that). We will definitely be back to stay and hopefully in this unit. It felt more like a home than a rental!
Beautiful Oceanfront Condo
Great location and the view is amazing!! The condo is beautifully decorated, clean and equipped with everything you could want or need. We really enjoyed watching the whales breach and spectacular sunsets right from the lanai. Tracy was great to work with and extremely responsive with great suggestions. We loved it so much we already booked our next visit!
Everything as described!!
Everything was accurately described and pictures are just as close as you would hope to the water! It was clean. I would not hesitate to use any of Tracy’s properties! She was very professional and helpful :)
We stayed 10 days and enjoyed every minute. It is stocked with everything you need. Thank you so much Tracy 🌴�😀�

TOKYO, March 21 (Reuters) - Japan’s average land prices slipped for a fifth straight year in 2012 but the rate of decline was the slowest of the entire period, potentially signalling a rebound in the property market.
A survey by the land ministry showed land prices fell an average 1.8 percent in 2012 compared with a 2.6 percent fall in the previous year.
The average price of residential land shrank by 1.6 percent from a 2.3 percent drop the year before, while the average price of commercial land dipped 2.1 percent, narrowing from a 3.1 percent decline.
Although both sectors recorded the fifth annual fall in a row, the pace of the declines was the slowest in five years, as the economy emerges from a mild recession.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has campaigned for bold fiscal spending and aggressive monetary expansion by the Bank of Japan to energise the sluggish economy and beat deflation.
The Japanese yen has weakened to 3-2/1 year low against the dollar and share prices hit 4-1/2 year high, helped by Abe’s economic policies.
But the land ministry said it was too early to see an impact from PM Abe’s economic policies because the survey only extended to Jan. 1, 2013, shortly after Abe took office.
The improvement in land prices was also partly driven by tax breaks on housing loans and active real estate investment trusts (J-REIT) in big cities, the survey showed.
Land prices in the northeastern areas hit by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami and subsequent nuclear crisis also continued to improve -- supported by rebuilding works, the survey found.
Residential land prices in Miyagi prefecture rose 1.4 percent last year from a 0.7 percent fall the year before. Miyagi is the only prefecture whose residential land prices increased in 2012.
Falls in Fukushima prefecture narrowed to 1.6 percent from a 6.2 percent drop.
Japanese land prices declined for most of the years following the bursting of the real estate bubble in the early 1990s, except for brief signs of recovery in the mid-2000s. But land prices dropped again in the 2008/2009 global financial crisis. (Reporting by Kaori Kaneko; Editing by Eric Meijer)
