What Is Kombucha Tea?
Kombucha tea or kombucha is a fizzy, sweet-sour, fermented, non-alcoholic drink made from sweetened tea with a specific microbial culture called SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast).
The bacteria and yeast grow and multiply while they convert the sugar in the tea to ethanol (alcohol) and acetic acid. It is this acetic acid that gives kombucha its characteristic and distinctive sweet-sour vinegary taste.
Because of the scoby fermentation, kombucha has potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and gut and liver healing properties.
And that is why it is being touted as the best alternative to the effervescent, sweet, carbonated drinks by health freaks all over the world.
But where did this delicious beverage come from? While the exact origin of kombucha tea is uncertain, It is believed to have originated in Northeastern China, where it has been consumed for centuries for its potential health benefits. It is said to have spread widely to different parts of Europe and Asia, namely Russia and Korea via the silk route.
If you are looking to purchase kombucha tea, it is important to note that the price depends on factors like the brand, bottle size, and location. A single bottle of kombucha tea can cost anywhere between $3 to $5 at a grocery store. However, prices can be higher for specialty or premium brands. You can try making kombucha tea at home as it is cost-effective.
So, how do you make this tea? Let’s find out!
How Is Kombucha Tea Made?
Note: For every gallon of kombucha tea, maintain the ratio of 1 cup of sugar, 8 bags of organic tea, and 2 cups of starter tea (scoby cultures).
- Steep sugar and tea leaves in hot water.
- Once the tea is cold, add the scoby cultures.
- Mix the contents well, pour into airtight containers with some more sugar and leave to ferment for about two weeks. Serve cold with some added fruits and spices.
Yes, it’s that simple!
Nicki and Ben, two bloggers, shared their experience of making and consuming kombucha tea on their blog. One of the bloggers states, “I’ve been brewing kombucha continuously for a couple of years now. When we were kids, I remember helping my mum brew it. We used a mix of black and fruit teas then, and when I first moved into my own place, I started again (i).”
But then, you might ask, so what if it has scoby cultures? Why’s there so much hype about kombucha?
How is it different from other health drinks? What does it do to your body that makes this tea so valuable and unique?
I have the answers to all your questions – only if you read ahead!
What Are The Benefits You Get By Drinking Kombucha Tea?
1. Has Hepatoprotective Properties
The liver is the ‘downtown’ of your body where all the action happens.
Fatty acids and lipids are broken down in your liver, and so are the drugs – which is why the liver is one of those organs that suffer the highest damage and need a lot of care.
Bacterial species like Acetobacter, along with the yeasts, in kombucha tea have shown exceptional hepatoprotective properties.
These bacteria convert acetic acid to glucuronic acid, which is a potent antioxidant.
Also, the green and black tea leaves have flavonoids like theaflavins, thearubigins, and their derivatives, which assist glucuronic acid in scavenging free radicals and toxic intermediates that trigger tissue damage.
Kombucha tea also inhibits linolenic acid and lipid peroxidation that lead to hepatotoxicityi XLiver damage from chemicals primarily caused by drugs that can result in acute and chronic liver disease. and chronic inflammation (1).
2. Protects Your Gut And Aids Digestion
It is unusual for a tea to have gastroprotective properties because gastritis is one of the most common side effects regular tea-o-holics face.
But surprisingly, drinking kombucha tea brewed with green tea leaves soothes your GI tract and gives you energy.
That’s because the scoby cultures in kombucha have high probiotic value, adding healthy bacteria into your gut in order to help with quick and clean digestion, assimilation, and also in passing bowel movements. Hence, this tea is sometimes recommended for people suffering from constipation and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, if someone has IBS that is induced by Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), kombucha may make the problem worse.
Kombucha extracts have high antioxidant activity as well as the ability to protect the mucin content of the gastric tissues.
This gut-friendly drink also has anti-ulcerative properties since it reduces the gastric acid secretion and helps in rapid ulcer healing (2).
3. Helps In Weight Loss and Detox
Since scoby cultures ferment the kombucha tea, it is rich in gut-friendly bacteria like Gluconacetobacter, Acetobacter, and Lactobacillus and fungal species like the yeast Zygosaccharomyces, Candida, etc. (3).
Such symbiotic cultures help in maintaining the ideal biochemical conditions in your gut for effective digestion.
These microbes assist in metabolizing complex lipids, fatty acids, and harmful derivatives that tend to accumulate in your body.
4. Is A Treasure Trove Of Antioxidants
This tea gained the sobriquet of the ‘health drink’ mostly due to its natural antioxidative properties.
Research says that fermentation of kombucha tea by the scoby cultures increases the levels of antioxidants, such as phenolic acids (rosmarinic acid, coumaric acid, linolenic acidi XAn omega-3 essential fatty acid found in high levels in certain plant oils that helps reduce inflammation. , caffeic acid, ferulic acid, gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, etc.), polyphenols (catechins, rutin, theaflavins, thearubigins, quercetin, etc.), and other flavonoids (4).
These bioactive components robustly scavenge the free radicals like peroxides, enhance the activity of enzymes like reactive oxygen speciesi XAn unstable molecule that contains an oxygen atom and in excess can damage cellular components, such as DNA, RNA, and cause cell death. , such as cancer and diabetes. and catalasei XAn enzyme found in many living things that breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen to protect cells from oxidative damage. , and eliminate toxic intermediates, heavy metals, and xenobiotic pollutants.
Simply put, making kombucha a habit may mean saying goodbye to a horde of disorders ranging from acne, pimples, wrinkles, and hair loss to atherosclerosis, kidney failure, cirrhosis, and UTIs.
To get the best antioxidative benefits of kombucha, you can try brewing it with different varieties of tea like green tea, black tea, and lemon balm tea in combination with scoby cultures from various sources.
5. Has Cardioprotective Effects
The antioxidative and antilipidemici XA medication used to lower the amount of lipids in the bloodstream in cases of hyperlipidemia (too much fat in the blood). activities of kombucha tea boost the levels of good cholesterol (HDL) and reduce the accumulation of bad cholesterol (LDL), along with undesirable free radicals and intermediates, in your blood vessels.
This way, blood pumped to your heart is less polluted, and the blood vessels are less clogged with plaques or cholesterol deposits (5).
When the blood is cleaner, and the blood vessels are dilated, the heart doesn’t have to exert too much pressure to pump the blood in or out of it.
Replacing your tea or coffee with kombucha may protect your heart from diseases like atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and hypertension.
6. Manages Inflammatory Diseases
Fermented drinks like kombucha tea can benefit conditions like arthritis, diabetes type 2, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, certain UTIs, psoriasis, dermatitis, ulcers, GERD, and renal failure that stem out of inflammation.
The flavonoids, caffeine derivatives, polyphenols, vitamins C and B complex, and trace minerals like iron, copper, nickel, zinc, and lead in kombucha tea, especially the one brewed with oak leaves, downregulate the production of pro-inflammatory chemical messengers like IL-6 and TNF-α and nitric oxide, which can trigger surrounding tissue damage (6).
7. May Prevent And Combat Cancer
Increase in reactive oxygen speciesi XAn unstable molecule that contains an oxygen atom and in excess can damage cellular components, such as DNA, RNA, and cause cell death. (ROS) is one of the causes that lead to tumor formation in your body.
If left untreated, these ROS (like peroxide and superoxide ions, heavy metal intermediates, and accumulated xenobiotic residues) can support tumor metastasisi XThe process by which cancer cells migrate from their formation site to other areas and generate new tumors in different parts of the body. , which could be lethal (7).
Kombucha tea can come to your rescue here. It is loaded with the goodness of antioxidants, vitamins, and probiotic microbes that can combat inflammation and decrease ROS effectively.
Kombucha has caffeine derivatives, phenolic acids, polyphenols, terpenes, and vitamins that can scavenge ROS from almost every nook and corner of your body, protect you from inflammation-induced cancer, and also stop its progression and metastasis.
8. Is A Strong Antibacterial Agent
In a study, kombucha tea was found to have antimicrobial activity against a number of pathogenic organisms like Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella sonnei, Escherichia coli, Aeromonas hydrophila, Yersinia enterolytica, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter cloacae, Staphylococcus epidermis, Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium, Bacillus cereus, Helicobacter pylori, and Listeria monocytogenes (8).
The scoby produce acetic acid as a by-product of tea fermentation, which is mainly responsible for the antimicrobial activity.
Research claims that there are several compounds in kombucha, other than acetic acid, which have potent antimicrobial activity.
So, drinking kombucha tea can assist in treating bacterial infections like cellulitis, urinary tract infections (UTIs), whooping cough, diphtheria, typhoid, and so on.
9. Promotes Longevity And Wellness
Adding kombucha tea to your diet fosters longevity despite lifestyle changes.
Thanks to the antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, neuro-, cardio- and hepatoprotective phytochemicals, kombucha helps in boosting memory, has anti-aging effects, promotes hassle-free metabolism, ensures organ health, and, most importantly, flushes out toxins from your body that can accelerate all of the above events (9).
One simple tea has multiple incredible benefits – this talks a lot about its composition. Who is responsible for such high-level multitasking?

Of course, it would! So, here are some quick and quirky recipes for making homemade kombucha tea – and all by yourself.
Simple Ways To Make Kombucha Tea At Home
In this section of the article, I will share some healthy and tasty recipes for brewing your own, customized kombucha tea.
Note: The choice of sugar, tea leaves, and the starter scoby matter a lot in making this tea.
Each time you make it, kombucha might taste different – in different places, and if you choose different sources of these ingredients. Be open to tasting all the varieties you find for various benefits.
#1. Green Tea Kombucha – Light And Cleansing
What You Need

- Write to me the first three words that popped up in your mind when you had the first sip!
When I tried this recipe, the words that came to my mind were “yum,” “magic,” and “let’s make it again!”
I have been obsessing about this drink for the longest time and must have drunk a few gallons of it.
But there’s something that made me take a step back and ponder over what I was doing.
And that was…
What Are The Side Effects Of Having Kombucha Tea?
I’m sure it must have occurred to you as well that kombucha tea is a ‘fermented’ drink. Although it has only about 0.5% alcohol, prolonged storage could increase the content up to 5%!
Apart from alcohol, drinking kombucha means literally welcoming thousands of microbes into your body. If the kombucha goes bad or is left to ferment too long, the havoc they could create in your body is scary!
Since old kombucha has multiple fatal factors, wouldn’t it be safer to know the risks and side effects associated with kombucha?
So, here we go!
1. Liver Toxicity
Drinking over-fermented, old, and turbid kombucha tea can cause jaundice and other liver diseases. If untreated, it might cause chronic liver inflammation and failure.
This problem could happen as a result of ingestion of high and crude alcohol content that gets generated in kombucha.
Since kombucha tea has acetic acid and other derivatives, it is always recommended that you drink it under medical supervision, especially if you have gastritis, recurring ulcers, etc.
Also, drinking aged kombucha can cause severe acidosis in people (high amounts of acid in your body), which, when ignored, can lead to death.
3. Hypersensitivity And Nausea
In some people, the scoby cultures in the kombucha tea can cause a skin allergy.
Sometimes, if you try out a different or fresh batch of scoby culture or a different brand of readymade kombucha tea, it might cause nausea, headache, diarrhea, and neck pain.
If this is the case, try reducing the intake and monitor your condition. If you still notice these symptoms, refrain from drinking kombucha and see a doctor immediately.
4. Might Cause Problems In Diabetic Individuals
Kombucha is not gluten free or low-sugar. It has a good amount of sugar to support the scoby fermentation. It might shoot up your blood glucose levels and cause organ damage if you already have diabetes.
Consult an endocrinologist to first check if you are hyperglycemici XAn elevated level of blood glucose that is caused by insufficient insulin or an inability to use it correctly. and then follow the recommended dosage or substitutes.
5. Risky If Immunity Is Weak
Certain conditions can lower your immunity – like viral infections (HIV-AIDS) and post-operative trauma.
Since kombucha has a mixture of microbial strains, a weak immunity can give way to chronic bacterial and fungal infections.
If you ignore these symptoms, such infections can be life-threatening.
6. Pregnancy And Breastfeeding Woes
There is insufficient information regarding the safety of this drink for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Hence, it is better to stay away from kombucha during this phase of your life to avoid unnecessary complications.

The feud between Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) governor Gideon Gono and his former advisor Munyaradzi Kereke has taken another nasty turn following the arrest of Kereke’s personal chauffer Privilege Maturure over the weekend.
Kereke recently accused his former boss of trailing him and of having unleashed RBZ security officers to assault his driver. The matter is already before the courts.
Maturure’s arrest came hardly 24 hours after the arrest of a nurse Jacob Chiweshe, who allegedly masqueraded as a medical doctor and compiled a medical report claiming Maturure had sustained assault injuries from unknown people.
Chiweshe, a State-registered nurse based at Parirenyatwa Hospital was the first to be picked up on Thursday after it emerged he reportedly originated the fake medical report while Maturure was arrested on Friday afternoon at the Harare Magistrates’ Court soon after attending the on-going hearings.
Both men are expected to appear in court today.
The medical report which has become the centre of controversy in the trial of the RBZ security
officers, who are being charged of severely battering Chiweshe, was disowned by the purported author Dr Johannes Marisa on Friday last week.
It has, however, emerged that the registered nurse is also a brother-in-law to Dr Marisa thereby raising State concerns over who was the brains behind its compilation.
According to the medical affidavit, the name of the patient that was examined after the alleged assault was “Headache”, hence the defence lawyer, Advocate Linos Mazonde challenged its authenticity.
The State relied upon the same medical report while opposing bail against RBZ security officers, George Nyahuye and Phillip Dendere on their initial court appearance in February this year.
The prosecution handed over the same document to Advocate Linos Mazonde arguing his clients were not suitable candidates for bail, a claim Mazonde challenged and sought to prove by verifying, thereby opening the “can of worms”.
Initially the State had opposed bail on the basis the medical affidavit specified that Maturure had suffered severe injuries as a result of the alleged assault.
And besides, when Nyahuye and Dendere appeared in court applying for bail, Maturure came and sat in court in a wheelchair and the court was asked to take that into consideration.
But in their defence, the two accused stated that when they were arrested by one Constable Mavhene, he remarked that they had “crossed the paths of important people”.
They also said at the same time Kereke “threatened to prepare a very good medical affidavit” against them.
On Friday last week, prosecutor Liberty Gono said the medical report submitted in court was a dubious document.
“The State has now managed to identify the actual person who compiled this medical report. He is Jacob Chiweshe and is assisting police with investigations,” Gono said.
However, when Dr Marisa took to the witness stand, he was very emotional and told the court that he was alarmed by the degree of forgery which was on the so-called medical affidavit.

Seyler Bridge Easement - More Than Just RecreationIt has been over a decade that PLWA (formerly known as PLAAI) has been involved in a lawsuit over public access to the Ruby River from Seyler Lane and the Seyler Bridge, a county road right-of-way in Madison County. In January 2014, the Montana Supreme Court reaffirmed Montana's Stream Access law, clarifying that the public may use the entirety of the public prescriptive easement right-of-way for all lawful public purposes. It also remanded the Ruby River action back to the District Court to determine the "definite width of a single, unified" public road right-of-way that was not determined at the previous trial. Per the Supreme Court, the width must include whatever land is "reasonably necessary" to maintain and support the established public road and bridge and the land that has historically been used by the public. This was a great victory for PLWA and the public.Previously in the lawsuit, when the District Court initially determined that Madison County held a wider and independent "secondary easement" than the public's right to the paved road, Madison County was all for "wider". Madison County stated it had an "uncontroverted" prescriptive right to maintain "the subjacent and lateral support for Seyler Land and Seyler Bridge, together with such additional land as is reasonable and necessary for maintenance and repair", which includes the "bridge abutments, wing walls and bridge spans. ...

However, in its current iteration the push to disburse these federal lands represents a greater threat to the future of American hunting than anything the anti-hunters could have come up with in their wildest dreams. ...

Primarily we help hunters, anglers, and other recreationists fight back against the tide of privatization of public land and waters. Montana is changing and part of this change comes from outside interests who think they can grab “ownership” of a river or public land with "No Trespassing" signs, orange paint, barb wire, chains, lawsuits, legislation and other tactics. It takes an organization with “pit bull” mentality like PLWA to deal with these situations. In many cases we are the ones who initiate appropriate legal action and are on the firing line.
PLWA is an all volunteer organization with little overhead. Your donations are almost totally used to press the issue of maintaining access. Member contributions are our only source of income. Usually the deep pockets are on the other side.

Pittsville has experience
Editor's note: This is part of a series of camp reports as local prep football teams prepare for their season openers.
Who's back: The Panthers, who reached the Division 7 state semifinals, have a solid core of returning players with All-Marawood first team selections Nathan Dupee (running back) and Matthew Lassa (linebacker and offensive line) leading the way. Hunter Ladick and Alec Kolar were honorable mention selections.
What's new: Other than Mark Denniston taking over the program, it's business as usual for the Panthers. Denniston, who coached the girls basketball team in the early 2000s, has been with the program for nine years and was former coach Dan Hahn's offensive coordinator.
What needs work: The biggest question marks according to Denniston are the offensive and defensive lines, which graduated several players. Denniston feels that there are several players who can fit the bill, solidify the line and make it a strength like it was last year.
What the coach said: "We have a nice-sized incoming freshman class. "Taking a team to the state semifinals can generate excitement, and hopefully we can continue to do well and increase our numbers, which are good this year."

What protection is in place for you or your hoist if overload occurs, particularly if you are not using a tensioning device, such as a Dynamometer.
Equipment can be accidentally “OVERLOADED”
When using a hand winch hoist, one of the most important things to consider is safe use at maximum capacity. It is never advisable to use any winch or hoist above the maximum capacity, but it is not uncommon for equipment to be accidentally overloaded. e.g.
Inadvertent loading during the tensioning of conductors or load shifting when lifting
When an overload condition exists, it is important to know that your hoist has the necessary safety features to protect you and your equipment if the load becomes too heavy for the hoist to handle safely. These safety features are known as the overload protection.
Types of “Overload Protection”
Many winches or hoists on the market offer various kinds of overload protection. One common form of overload protection is the use of bendable handles or bendable handle necks, in the case of fibreglass handles. Bendable handles are designed to alert users that a hoist is overloaded by failing before the hoist itself fails. These handles or handle necks start to bend when the load applied to a winch hoist is greater than its maximum capacity, protecting the operator from injury and the hoist from severe overload damage. The amount of overload required to bend these handles may vary between manufacturers and hoist models, so it is important to know your hoist’s specific limitations. With some hoists, it is almost impossible to manoeuvre the handle to a point over the hoists capacity.
Lug-All handles are designed to bend at 125-150% of the rated capacity.
Breakable stress links and shear pins offer another form of overload protection in many products. This type of protection alerts you to overload conditions by snapping suddenly and audibly when overloaded. It also allows the hoist to remain functional enough to be unloaded safely and easily and removed from operation. Like bendable handles, stress links and shear pins will fail before the hoist becomes critically overloaded, preventing personal injury and damage to your hoist and other equipment.
Lug-All Web Strap Hoists are equipped with a stress link system that will break at 125% capacity before the fiberglass handle or the load-bearing parts of the hoist become overloaded.
Stress link and bendable handles are only affective during lifting, tensioning and releasing, when the handles are in operation. And many think this is where hoist load protection ends.
Industry standards require Hoists have a safety factor built-in by design, to hold loads safely above their rated capacity. This safety factor varies depending on the hoist manufacturer and whether it’s a lifting or pulling operation. Overload protection guards your hoist against catastrophic damage when the load exceeds your hoist’s maximum capacity.
Many products on the market also employ a double locking pawl system that prevents them from slipping when operating under load. This system is one of the most important features on a winch hoist because it keeps the hoist functional if it becomes overloaded. When the other protective mechanisms break to alert the user that the hoist is over its maximum capacity, the double pawl mechanism locks the load in place, preventing the hoist from suddenly releasing and allowing the user to reduce the load safely. After the load is reduced, the broken handle, stress link, or shear pin is usually easy and inexpensive to replace, saving you the cost of purchasing an entirely new hoist.
Stress links and bendable handles are “ONLY” effective during operation.
Without overload protection, overloading can cause your winch hoist to fail, damaging your hoist and equipment and possibly injuring you and anyone nearby, especially if a load is raised when it fails.
Not all products offer comprehensive overload protection, so it is important to know what protective features your hoist offers before using it. Even before purchasing it!
All Lug-All Come Along Ratchet Winch Hoists are equipped with a stress link system, shear pin, or bendable handle to protect you from possible overload damage and injury. For safe use, always be sure to replace the broken stress link, shear pin, or handle before using your hoist again.
Never replace the handle with any other handle or makeshift handle, as this can lead to unsafe loading. If you consistently have the handle on your Lug-All ratchet winch hoist break or bend, you are most likely using a hoist with insufficient capacity for the application, and you should consider replacing it with a higher-capacity model.

More than a decade has passed since British author J.K. Rowling published the last instalment of Harry Potter‘s adventures at Hogwarts, but the wizarding world is as alive today as it was 20 years ago. Plays, theme parks, prequels, hundreds of merchandising items and continuous book re-releases have allowed the magic to continue on for many years. Are you a true Harry Potter fan? If so, you’ll definitely want to see the must-visit filming locations where Harry Potter was filmed. So Civitatis is opening up the chamber of secrets for you! Don’t worry, there’s no basilisk here, but you’ll be sure to discover more about the ‘Boy who lived‘.
Harry Potter Filming Locations in London
King’s Cross station where the train leaves for Hogwarts, Piccadilly Circus where Harry, Ron and Hermione flee from the Death Eaters, the destruction of the Millennium Bridge during Voldemort’s darkest days, the Westminster tube station leading to the Ministry of Magic… London is definitely a key player!
The UK capital is one of the most distinctive filming locations throughout the Harry Potter series, so one of the best ways to see them all is to book a London Harry Potter tour – a must-see!
Porto and the Hogwarts Library
Did you know that before Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was first published in 1997 J.K. Rowling had lived in Portugal a few years? The famous author moved to Porto in the early 1990s to teach English. There, she met her future husband, who she later divorced shortly after having her daughter.
Her time in the tiled city may have influenced her to create part of the magical universe. Although the author herself has denied it, it was believed that the Lello bookshop was the perfect inspiration for the Flourish and Blotts shop, where Hogwarts students buy their books. Although Porto is not one of the Harry Potter filming locations, it’s full of legends linking the magical world to the city on the Porto Harry Potter Free Tour.
The origins of Harry Potter in Edinburgh
After her years in Porto, Rowling moved to Edinburgh. It was here, frequenting quaint coffee shops, that she finished the first novel in the series. In fact, ten years later she also finished the last lines of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in a hotel in Edinburgh.
You’ll be surprised to see the interesting comparisons between Edinburgh’s Victoria Street, and the famous Diagon Alley. You can discover all this and much more during the Harry Potter Free Tour.
Warner Bros. Studios, where Harry Potter was filmed!
Want to see more? A must-visit Harry Potter filming location for any true fan is the Warner Bros. Studios in London. Here you’ll discover Snape’s potions classroom, the fearsome Dolores Umbridge’s office, a giant replica of Aragog, 4 Privet Drive, Hagrid’s hut… You’ll be amazed!
During your visit, you can also try the famous butterbeer or buy items from this magical universe, including chocolate frogs, dragees of all flavours or choose your favourite wand.
Hogwarts Halls in Oxford
If there’s another city that stands out for its must-visit filming locations, it has to be Oxford. Specifically, Christ Church College, which was used as inspiration to create the Hogwarts Great Hall. Here, you’ll find the authentic stairs that lead to the castle’s dining room, where Minerva McGonagall welcomes new students.
The cloisters of New College and the Divinity School are other locations you can visit during the Oxford Harry Potter Tour. You’ll see the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry’s infirmary, the courtyards used for several film scenes, the Hogwarts library… You’ll be surprised!
In search of the Hogwarts Express in Scotland
Who hasn’t dreamed of receiving a letter signed by Albus Dumbledore himself inviting us to Hogwarts? While you wait for the letter, you can enjoy travelling on the famous Hogwart’s Express. If you’re in Inverness, you can hop on board this steam train by booking the Highlands Tour.
You’ll also cross the Glenfinnan Viaduct, one of the most popular Harry Potter filming locations – a unique experience!
Extra! Harry Potter amusement parks
We can’t end without talking about the many Harry Potter theme parks that have been built around the world. Cities such as Orlando, Los Angeles and Osaka have built their own versions of the wizarding world.
Themed areas and rollercoasters will make you forget about the Muggle world and experience J.K. Rowling’s unique creation. There’s no end to the magic!

AH: I have always been an avid reader, and writing has always been something I've enjoyed. I remember going to the library every week with my siblings hoping that my favorites would be on the shelves. The Flicka Ricka and Dicka series always made my heart flutter! I think back then you were only allowed to check out 10 books at a time, which was never enough! Thank goodness times have changed! I'm pretty sure I haven't been to the library in the past few years without leaving with at least 25 books! It wasn't until my third child was born that I started to write seriously. Sure I'd written a few things, even sent a short story into a writing academy, to which I was offered a spot in the class, but with very young children at home, and living the military lifestyle, who had the time for writing homework? What that short story gave me though was invaluable. Confidence! That bit of confidence would be the spark that fueled my desire to start writing more...and with fervor!
AH: The idea for Wimbley the Wonder Boy came from the day to day antics of my children. I will never forget the day I had just stepped out of the shower to find the house surrounded by the police! It seems that two year old's can, and will, use the telephone to the best of their abilities!
Needless to say, my children are always giving me valuable material with which to write about!
BBB: Tell us about the cover and how it came about.
AH: The cover for Wimbley the Wonder Boy was out of my hands. The book is published by Xist Publishing, and like most traditional publishing houses, the artwork was left to the illustrator. Holly Blackman, the illustrator for the book, did a fantastic job! I couldn't be more thrilled with the vision she had for Wimbley.
AH: I am always dreaming up new story ideas and plotting out story lines. Currently I'm working on several children's picture books and putting the finishing touches on two children's early chapter book manuscripts. There has also been talk about turning Wimbley The Wonder Boy into a series! Fingers crossed, there will be more adventures for Wimbley in the near future!
BBB: How can readers discover more about you and your work?
AH: Readers can find me on Twitter @th_littlebirdie, or visit my blog, thislittlebirdie.wordpress.com.


MIAMI -- Airlines routinely find cracks in the metal skin of their jets, but the crack that led to a 14-inch tear in a Fort Lauderdale-bound Eastern flight on Monday developed in an unusual way, two top Eastern Airlines officials said on Thursday.
The Eastern executives said at a a news conference that widespread concern about cracks discovered in Eastern jets was misplaced, and that maintaining the safety of older, heavily used planes is an industry-wide problem not confined to Eastern.
"The fact of the matter is every airline in the world experiences cracks every day," Eastern executive vice president Joseph Leonard said. "It's a way of life. It is under control."
By reasurring the public, Eastern may have been responding to several factors, including heavy air travel during the holiday season and the unrelated crash of a Pan Am Boeing 747 in Scotland a week ago.
On Monday, Eastern Flight 251, which originated in Rochester, N.Y., was forced to make an emergency landing in Charleston, W.Va., after a crack led to a hole in the fuselage and a loss of cabin pressure. No injuries occurred.
The forced landing focused attention on cracks in the skin of jets at Eastern and other carriers and added to concerns about the nation's aging fleet of commercial aircraft.
After the forced landing, Eastern inspected its Boeing 727 fleet and found two other aircraft with cracks or corrosion that needed repair. Eastern also found cracks in a McDonnell Douglas DC-9.
The failed plane, aircraft 148, was returned to Miami on Thursday for inspection by the National Transportation Safety Board.
Leonard said the crack that caused the problem on Monday may have developed on an interior surface.
Eastern engineers think the crack occurred on the inside of an area where two sections of skin overlap and were riveted together. Normally, cracks first show on the aircraft's exterior, where visual inspections are effective, he said.
"This seems to be a new twist, and we've developed a new procedure as a result," said Ed Upton, Eastern's vice president for engineering and maintenance.
The test uses low frequency electrical currents, which register flaws in the skin on a monitor for technicians to evaluate. Upton said 40 of Eastern's 250 planes have overlap joints that may require the test.
Leonard said metal fatigue and cracking is normal in jet operation, and that periodic maintenance usually prevents any safety hazards from occurring.
Jack Gamble, a spokesman for Boeing Co. in Seattle, concurred.
"Cracks themselves are not inherently unsafe or dangerous. It's cracks that grow over a period of time, if not caught in the inspection process, that are dangerous," he said.
Leonard said the latest spurt of attention to Eastern's safety hasn't hurt business.
"We've not seen any changes in our bookings whatsoever," he said.

Apple has been the target of a cyberattack similar to the one recently reported by Facebook, according to Reuters.
Reuters reported Tuesday that Apple says it was attacked by the same hackers that breached Facebook. The tech giant told the news agency that no data appears to be stolen and that a software tool will be released later this week.
Apple confirmed the security breach, but did not comment on reports that the hackers were also responsible for the Facebook attack and released this statement to CBS News:
Apple has identified malware which infected a limited number of Mac systems through a vulnerability in the Java plug-in for browsers. The malware was employed in an attack against Apple and other companies, and was spread through a website for software developers. We identified a small number of systems within Apple that were infected and isolated them from our network. There is no evidence that any data left Apple. We are working closely with law enforcement to find the source of the malware.
Since OS X Lion, Macs have shipped without Java installed, and as an added security measure OS X automatically disables Java if it has been unused for 35 days. To protect Mac users that have installed Java, today we are releasing an updated Java malware removal tool that will check Mac systems and remove this malware if found.
In January, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security advised that people temporarily disable Java software on their computers to avoid potential attacks from hackers. The government agency says that all versions of Java 7 through update 10 were affected, and that web browsers using the Java 7 plug-in were also at high risk.
Oracle released a patch days after the security advisory, however critics claimed that users were still vulnerable to cyberattacks. At the time, Java security experts Security Explorations told CBS News in an email that "there are still unpatched security vulnerabilities that affect the most recent version of the software."
Facebook announced on Friday that it wasby way of a developer's website that was compromised. In a statement the social network said:
Last month, Facebook Security discovered that our systems had been targeted in a sophisticated attack. This attack occurred when a handful of employees visited a mobile developer website that was compromised. The compromised website hosted an exploit which then allowed malware to be installed on these employee laptops. The laptops were fully-patched and running up-to-date anti-virus software. As soon as we discovered the presence of the malware, we remediated all infected machines, informed law enforcement, and began a significant investigation that continues to this day. We have no evidence that Facebook user data was compromised in this attack.
In recent months, companies like, and the all reported security breaches. It appears that the attacks may have been carried out by China's army.
In a 60-page report, cyber security firmsaid that its "research and observations indicate that the Communist Party of China is tasking the Chinese People's Liberation Army to commit systematic cyber espionage and data theft against organizations around the world."
China has repeatedly denied any government involvement in computer hacking.
"Chinese law forbids hacking and any other actions that damage Internet security," a statement from the Defense Ministry said early this year. "The Chinese military has never supported any hacking activities. Cyberattacks are characterized by being cross-national and anonymous. To accuse the Chinese military of launching cyberattacks without firm evidence is not professional and also groundless."
President Obamaon Feb. 12 aimed at boosting the nation's cybersecurity by enabling the government to share information with private firms more easily, and establishing mandatory reporting on security threats from government agencies to U.S. corporations at risk. Congress, however, has been unable to agree on any legislation to set new laws on cybersecurity.
In the wake of the cyberattacks, the Pentagon is pushing to expand its cyber-security forces. Earlier this month, CBS News correspondent Bob Orr reported on "CBS This Morning" that the U.S. military's so-called Cyber Command will grow five-fold over the next few years, from 900 employees presently to nearly 5,000 civilian and military personnel.

Democratic Sens. Chris Dodd and Kent Conrad were fully aware they were getting sweetened mortgage deals, the Countrywide Financial exec who handled their loans has told congressional investigators. The testimony from the loan officer to the House Oversight and Senate Ethics committees directly contradicts the senators' assertions that they had no idea they were getting discounts under a VIP program, the AP reports.
Dodd and Conrad, heads of the Senate Banking Committee and Senate Finance Committee, respectively, were told "who you know is basically how you’re coming in here," the loan officer testified. Spokesmen for the senators accused the loan officer of lying and said that they hoped the Ethics Committee resolves the issue quickly. (Read more Chris Dodd stories.)


Masion, A., et al., Dynamic Nuclear Polarization NMR as a new tool to investigate the nature of organic compounds occluded in plant silica particles. Sci Rep, 2017. 7(1): p. 3430.
The determination of the chemical nature of the organic matter associated with phytoliths remains a challenge. This difficulty mainly stems from amounts of organic carbon (C) that are often well below the detection limit of traditional spectroscopic tools. Conventional solid-state 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is widely used to examine the nature and structure of organic molecules, but its inherent low sensitivity prohibits the observation of diluted samples. The recent advent of commercial microwave source in the terahertz range triggered a renewed interest in the Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) technique to improve the signal to noise ratio of solid-state NMR experiments. With this technique, the 13C spectrum of a phytolith sample containing 0.1% w/w C was obtained overnight with sufficient quality to permit a semi-quantitative analysis of the organic matter, showing the presence of peptides and carbohydrates as predominant compounds. Considering the natural abundance of the 13C isotope, this experiment demonstrates that DNP NMR is sufficiently sensitive to observe spin systems present in amounts as low as a few tens of ppm.

There was a lot of hoopla last night at ' design studio in Hawthorne, Calif., where chief executive Elon Musk gleefully demonstrated how a robot could swap a depleted battery in an electric Model S sedan for a fully charged one in about 90 seconds, less than half the time it takes to fill up a car with gasoline. (See Tesla's video here.)
But Tesla wasn't the only company making news about electric vehicle (EV) batteries Thursday. Earlier in the day, Nissan North America announced its own battery replacement program for the plug-in Leaf. Nissan might have been trying to steal a bit of Tesla's thunder (or more likely, hoping to catch its incredible wave of publicity.) Nevertheless, both carmakers had the same goal: to ease consumer' fears about buying plug-in vehicles.
"Our objective here is to remove the obstacles people have to electric cars," Musk told a packed house of EV supporters who watched a live video of a man pumping gas into an while robots from beneath the stage rose up to swap out the battery on not one, but two, Teslas. "Sorry to keep you waiting," Musk kidded while the man finished up the transaction at the gas station. Fill-up time: about 4 minutes. Battery swap: about 90 seconds each.
"Some people take a lot of convincing," Musk said. "Hopefully this is what convinces people finally that electric cars are the future."
The automakers' battery programs, like their electric vehicles, are different.
Tesla said it will charge $60-$80 for the pack swap, the same as about 15 gallons of gas. The service will be available at Tesla's new super-charging stations in California starting later this year, followed by the Northeast and other markets where it is expanding its new super-charger network. The superchargers — which can restore much of a depleted battery’s charge in about half an hour — will continue to be available for free, Musk said. If you want your original battery back after it's recharged, that will cost another $60. If you want to keep the new one, Tesla will bill you for it, though it can't say yet how much that will be. The good news is that once-high battery costs are coming down rapidly.
Nissan has a different replacement model, based on one it offers in Europe, where most consumers lease their battery separate from the car purchase. The program allows Leaf owners whose battery is weak or nearing the end of its warranty period to exchange it for a new battery. Once they make the swap, they will pay $100 a month for Nissan's assurance that the replacement pack will maintain at least 70 percent capacity for the time they own their car or it will be replaced (again). The advantage is that Leaf owners -- including used-car buyers who continue to make those $100 payments -- can take advantage of newer technology down the road.
"Technology is evolving and battery prices are projected to decline as EVs become increasingly mainstream,” said Erik Gottfried, Nissan’s director of electric vehicle sales and marketing. “Therefore, this new battery program today affords more flexibility for the future so that customers can both upgrade to the latest available technology for their LEAF and enjoy more predictable vehicle operating costs.”
How does the system work in Europe? In the UK, consumers can buy the base model Leaf, battery included, for $32,457 (20,990£) after a $7,700 government rebate. But if they lease the battery pack for $108 a month (36 months and 7,500 miles a year), the car's price drops to $24,726 (15,990£).
Do the math and the cost of the battery, then, is $7,731 (5,000£). If you're leasing the battery for $108 per month, you'll end up paying $3,888 over the 36-month term. The difference ($7,731 battery cost -$3,888 lease) means you'll save $3,843 with this ownership option. That's real money.
No word yet on how much a Leaf without the battery would cost in the U.S. In January, Nissan cut the entry price of the U.S. Leaf by more than $6,000 to $28,800 (before $7,500 federal tax credit). Nissan says it'll announce further details of the battery leasing program later this year.

“This was a gift for my elderly, cognitively impaired mother. She was very often confused as to which day it was, the time of day, etc. She would show up at appointments on the wrong day, or think it was morning when it was evening. This clock is fantastic! It has made such a difference. Now she always knows what day and time it is. The clock is also very nice-looking. This was an excellent purchase and highly recommended. I can’t say enough good things about it.”
"love it...Not bad...The alarm clock is one of the best I have had, the kids enjoy the extra interactions, and having music anywhere without having to connect my phone to a speaker has been wonderful....I just broadcast a message to them and a glass of water appears in my room LOL I like that it can be controlled from the clock or my phone, so no matter when I am I can broadcast or turn their music down"
The Philips Wake-Up Light offers a choice of five pleasant nature sounds — or for the more traditionally minded, FM radio — for your morning wake-up call, but the real star of the show is the sunlight simulation. Twenty to forty minutes before your programmed wake-up time (you set both times), the clock will slowly begin to simulate the sunrise, complete with the softest dawn reds and oranges gently brightening into sunny, yellow light.
This Roman Numerals Vintage Wall Clock makes telling time easier on the eyes. The clock’s backing is made to look like aged barnwood. It has black metal framing and large Roman Numerals on its dial cut from the same black painted metal. Silver studs dot the frame wherever the numerals join it for a striking, yet simple, accent. The hands of the clock are metal too, telling the time with a minute and hour hand. This stunning Roman Numerals Vintage Wall Clock really strikes a chord for home...
Some predecessors to the modern clock may be considered as "clocks" that are based on movement in nature: A sundial shows the time by displaying the position of a shadow on a flat surface. There is a range of duration timers, a well-known example being the hourglass. Water clocks, along with the sundials, are possibly the oldest time-measuring instruments. A major advance occurred with the invention of the verge escapement, which made possible the first mechanical clocks around 1300 in Europe, which kept time with oscillating timekeepers like balance wheels.

In these times, more than ever, brands need to show themselves online, show their true character and make it as real and genuine as meeting them in person. One of the strategic steps towards unifying the brand was bringing the different brands and people internally together, and translating this into a brand video to be shown internally and externally online, reaching out to parents, new employees and the environment. Through online purpose sessions with a team of 18 employees from the different brands, we collected and extracted their stories and created one unified narrative together. With this we could explain and describe the brand essence of Junis as well. We advised them to move forward by letting the other brands go and just communicate under one single brand with one voice, and in the beginning of this year that was their next move.
At Junis it’s all about the “you and I” and seeing the other for who they are within their own uniqueness. It's about helping others to grow to the best version of themselves. We translated the brand’s characteristics into a script and storyboard, and directed their story into an engaging 90-second brand video, that captures what Junis is all about: people! The three core characteristics (educative, honest and caring) were translated into scenes of kids exploring the world together with the Junis employees and a voiceover that gives insights on their honest approach at childcare.
We’ve helped Junis translating their own bigger vision into a brand story and show it to the world. In just 4 online sessions, we revealed the true brand heart of Junis by listening to the beautiful personal stories of the employees and turning them into a connected brand story and a mission to strive for. Through the process the employees engaging in these sessions really got connected and discovered they were more alike and shared a common passion: investing in the world of tomorrow, because it’s our children’s future!

Hi, I’m Elena Vasilantonaki.
I am a Greek ceramicist living and working from my studio, in Athens, Greece.
Growing up in Greece I was surrounded by pottery forms that have changed little since the ancient times. Functional storage jars, large pithoi decorating the yards and amphorae aged underwater rediscovered by fishermen. It was not however until I begun taking pottery classes, in 2011, that I started to really look at them. Close observation during museum visits, photographing and then drawing opened my eyes to the beauty of the ancient forms.
I spent my childhood and adolescent years constantly moving from city to city due to my father’s military job. Never rooted in one place for longer than two years, I feel this is the reason behind my everlasting pursuit of connection and rootedness. Clay as a material represents so much to me. Roots, ancestry, earth connection, grounding. Pottery is something small and manageable that connects to that idea of home.
I approach pottery as a journey to self discovery, a quest of simplicity and a healing process. The hand building and coiling techniques I use to create my pieces have been used to shape clay into vessels for many thousands of years. The process is very slow and it takes long to finish a piece but I find it meditative.The quiet hours of building, silent days in the studio are what I enjoy the most. I usually start building with a specific form in mind and a few quick sketches done in advance. However, the slow construction permits the development of a dialogue that influences the emerging shape. Moved and inspired by the works of the early people, I create pieces that question the idea of function and utility but above all the notion of time and progress.My aim is to create contemporary work with an ancient feel.

We love pins at Play Leisure, the only downside with them is that they sell so quickly we barely get time to play them! Here’s a new arrival, Spring Break from Gottlieb!
Themed around the Florida holiday culture of the mid eighties, Spring Break was not initially well received by some players and operators. Management took the decision to make the game a multiball-fest. At the start of each ball the game immediately went into multiball, and no manual ball shooter was provided. After receiving negative comments about this feature, Premier Technology eventually released a code update that gave operators the choice between instant multiball play or single ball play with multiball having to be earned as a skill feature. Fortunately the playfield was suited to the single ball approach. Unfortunately not all machines received the code update, and as a result the game’s reputation has continued to be tarnished by the instant multiball feature.
The machine for sale here is running the updated code, and you are able to choose how the game plays at the flick of a switch. I have it set on single ball play, and this transforms the playing experience in a way that I find far more challenging and enjoyable. The game features various playfield areas, several sets of drop targets and up to four ball multiball. There are four flippers and a single ramp. The ball is served into play by pressing the right flipper button and the gameplay consists of several objectives including lighting “vacation” by completing drop target banks, and trying to get all four balls onto the playfield at once by completing the 1,2,3 spot targets to light various lanes on the playfield to add a ball into play. There is also a playfield multiplier on the playfield back board, which enables you to track and build towards 5X playfield scoring.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], November 13 (ANI): Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy on Sunday slammed Basavaraj Bommai government alleging that former Prime Minister HD Devegowda was not invited to the Kempegowda statue inauguration event in Bengaluru.
“BJP is doing politics. Without printing his name on the invitation, how will they call him? They already circulated the cards. Chief Minister called at 9.30 pm on November 10. At 12:45 am, he sent a letter through someone who handed it over to guards,” Kumaraswamy said.
“How will they defend this? If he wanted to invite, he should have sent some minister or Chief Secretary and printed his name on the official invitation. Without his name in the official program, how will they call him and accommodate him? Now, they are defending that they had invited him,” JD(S) leader alleged.
After JD(S) allegation that former PM and party’s national president HD Devegowda was not invited to the November 11 Kempegowda statue inauguration event, BJP has claimed that they did invite the former Prime Minister.
“Not only was the first invitation letter sent to former PM Devegowda, the only Kannadigar who was the Prime Minister, Chief Minister BS Bommai himself called and invited. JDS has shown its timely wisdom by lying in this matter,” said Karnataka BJP in a Twitter post.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday unveiled the “Statue of Prosperity”, the 108-feet bronze statue of Bengaluru founder Nadaprabhu Kempegowda.
The statue has been built to commemorate the contribution of Nadaprabhu Kempegowda, the founder of the city, towards the growth of Bengaluru.
“Conceptualized and sculpted by Ram V Sutar of Statue of Unity fame, 98 tonnes of bronze and 120 tonnes of steel have gone into making this statue,” said Prime Minister’s Office (PMO). (ANI)

There’s a huge collective knowledge here, and I’d like to tap into it. What do you guys (and ladies, of course) know about dragons? Symbology, mythology, etc? I realize I could do a search on Google, but I’m about to go to work and would like other people’s input.
More specifically, something called, "the path of the dragon". Is that a real thing? What does it mean? In meditation I saw a dragon that spoke of it, saying I had chosen to walk the path of the dragon.
So, like I said–what do you all know about dragons?
@Manimal – have you ever heard of “the path of the dragon”? The more I think about it, and the more I read from people (other than Skyrim comments), I’m starting to piece it together bit by bit. This dragon didn’t seem like it wanted to fight; it was almost like it wanted to help me. And it told me I had chosen “the path of the dragon”.
In some disciplines of martial arts, the dragon represents wisdom, contrasted by the tiger representing wrath. Similar to the Id and Superego. The dragon is not unlike a demigod, as suggested above, whereas the tiger might be mortal. And although the reptile might represent mastery among the athletic, to those acknowledgers of Eastern Astrology, the dragon can manifest blessings as well as malice.
@jake arends – I meditate during cold showers, usually in the dark. This time though, the lights were on, and I didn’t have to work to get into a meditative state. As soon as I closed my eyes, my mind was clear and this dragon appeared.
Try the cold shower meditating out–it can get pretty intense!

It's a Sin to Tell a Lie" is a 1936 popular song written by Billy Mayhew, introduced early that year on records by many dance bands including Dick Robertson on the 78rpm record Champion 40106, and later popularized by Fats Waller on Victor 25342 and re-issued on Victor 20-1595. It was recorded in French by Cajun singer Cléoma Breaux in 1936 or 1937. The tune was revived in 1955 by Somethin' Smith and the Redheads, reaching number 7 on the Billboard charts in that year.
Never a major star, Dickie Valentine nevertheless had two number singles in 1955 and was voted Top UK male vocalist of 1952 while singing with the Ted Heath Band before embarking on a solo career. Born Richard Bryce in Marylebone, London on the 4th of November 1929, he first tried his hand at singing while he was working as child actor and developed an act, impersonating other singers of the time. He appeared in several movies as a child and got his break when he signed to the Ted Heath Band. He married Elizabeth Flynn in 1954 just as his solo career was getting underway in earnest.

The comments around Graffiti’s action at the Planning Authority this week are so loaded with irony that the young guys who took that action must feel perfectly entitled to feel pride for what they did.
One remark was classic MDA. Developers speak like Frankenstein’s monster in the Boris Karloff classics: why don’t people realise he’s so nice even as he accidentally drowns little girls in ponds? MDA does not drown girls in ponds but their lumbering weight, the suffocating dust that flies about in the wake of their leaden footsteps, and the dark shadow cast by their vertical cities are really incongruous with its pathetic complaint this week that the planning board should not be subjected to undue pressure.
We know how power works in this country and we especially know how under Labour the relationship between concrete money and political influence has been made into the most successful arranged marriage since the Prince kissed Sleeping Beauty. Joseph Muscat calls it being “business friendly” which is newspeak for selling public policy to the highest bidder. And Sandro Chetcuti asks the PN “why can’t you be more like Labour?”
That is the undue pressure on our planners. And the undue pressure on our entire political reality.
I happened to be in the room one night several years ago when someone’s idea of a petrol station, a sprawl that would look overdone next to a Texan freeway, was concreted over the valley in the shadow of Mdina. Lawrence Gonzi, then prime minister, was appalled. He was reminded that permits had been granted after due process and there was nothing anyone could do about that petrol station anymore. He agreed. But he said there was no reason why the mistake should be repeated again and instructed a policy review to prevent the countryside being covered by cement so cars could be refuelled.
This bit of common sense must have pushed all those petrol station tycoons, our own little ten-gallon hat Texans, to creak their boots and shake their stirrups straight into the arms of the Labour Party. No undue pressure there of course.
One other remark I read was by someone who wittily pointed out that petrol stations in our countryside are being permitted within walking distance from each other. Exquisite. Petrol stations will be so frequent in this country you won’t even need a car to visit one.
Incidentally have people been having problems refuelling their cars before their tanks ran out here? Can anyone report that sense of Canadian malaise of fearing your car will run out of gas 90 kilometres from the next service station? Do we have issues with unbearably long queues at petrol stations that are too few and too far in between?
What’s all this demand for new petrol stations coming from? Simple. It is that old philosophy of make hay while the sun shines, or in this case build petrol stations while the state fails to regulate the sector properly to prepare for a future when the gate to further exploitation will be shut after there is no more countryside to exploit.
We’ll all have an infinite supply of fuel to drive our cars nowhere in particular.
Someone indeed asked a pretty logical question as I saw it when I first read it: has anyone figured out if there’s enough business for all these new petrol stations sprouting up where prickly pears used to grow? Someone else retorted with some neocon dogma that the government should allow business to decide what risks it is willing to take.
If the consequences of excess and bad investment were reserved to the investor, I frankly would not care all that much. But who’s left with the cement when the investor realises they over-estimated the enthusiasm for a spot of road-side pit stopping? We all are.
That is what planners are for: to plan; to estimate requirements and, within the limits of economic and environmental sustainability, create the parameters of sensible investment.
Those planners at the PA this week were doing nothing of the sort. They were representing all of us as we submit ourselves to the sodomy perpetrated by the greedy who insist no one else should interfere as they have their way with us. That motley crew of decent communists had the decency to say the whole thing was painful and largely unpleasant to everyone except the fuel dispensers.
The fuel mongers get away with this because they have a “business friendly” government who sides with those who pay up and because the rest of us, with the exception of gutsy activists like Graffiti, choose to suffer in silence or pretend that what is happening is actually good wholesome fun.
