How much time do you need to cycle New Zealand? Seriously, a lifetime isn’t enough time to see everything. But this is what we managed to squeeze in in our 6 weeks!
Our Six Week New Zealand Route
We planned out a very rough schedule and route before we started in a previous post. But this is what we ended up doing!
This is by no means the best route or the most efficient way to see all of New Zealand. But I think it does offer a good starting point for anyone trying to plan a trip!
We had some days off at the end of our time in New Zealand to visit some friends and do some personal things, so this is really more like 5 weeks of cycling, tbh.
|Day 1||Fly from Canada|
|Day 2||Arrive in Auckland||To our hosts’ home in Auckland||31|
|Day 3||Rest – Explore Auckland|
|Day 5||Pokeno||Te Aroha||94|
|Day 6||Te Aroha||Matamata + Hobbiton Movie Set||63|
|Day 10||Hike Tongariro Crossing (Mt Doom)|
|Day 12||Mangaweka||Manakau (south of Levin)||133|
|Day 14||Explore Wellington|
|Day 15||Ferry across Cook Strait to Picton||Havelock||45|
|Day 21||Moana||Arthurs Pass Village||66|
|Day 22||Arthurs Pass (hike Avalanche Peak)||Jacksons||33|
|Day 24||Pukekura||Franz Joseph||87|
|Day 25||Franz Joseph||Lake Paringa||102|
|Day 26||Lake Paringa||Pleasant Flat Campsite||98|
|Day 27||Pleasant Flat Campsite||Wanaka||99|
|Day 28||Half rest day in Wanaka||Crown Range Summit||39|
|Day 29||Crown Range Summit||Queenstown (through Arrowtown)||40|
|Day 30||Rest in Queenstown|
|Day 31||Rest in Queenstown|
|Day 33||Alexandra||Ranfurly (via Otago Rail Trail)||87|
|Day 34||Ranfurly||Middlemarch (via Otago Rail Trail)||64|
|Day 36||Explore Dunedin|
|Day 37||Bus to Christchurch|
|Day 38||Rest in Christchurch|
|Day 39||Rest in Christchurch|
|Day 40||Rest in Christchurch|
|Day 41||Fly to Auckland – Day in Auckland|
|Day 42||Fly back to Canada!|
The funny thing is that our original “destination” was Queenstown. But when we realized how much time we still had, we decided to add a few more days of cycling and cycle to Dunedin. Funny how these things happen, you can never anticipate it.
New Zealand has so many great cycling routes and trails that you can explore. The one that we did start to finish is the Otago Rail Trail. The main reason why we did go on trails so often is that they are really made for mountain bikes with some cushion and wide wheels. Our hybrid bikes (which are more like road bikes than
I’d highly recommend seeing NZ by bike. It is just about the perfect size, not too big, not too small, easy enough to get around. We met a ton of other cyclists. So you’re sure to make friends and a bike repair shop will not be too far out of reach.
Do you have any experiences cycling in New Zealand? How does our schedule compare? What would you hit up that we missed?! Let us know and we’ll add it to our next trip. 🙂


Tesla has received homologation certification for launching three more variants of its vehicles on the roads of India. Thus, at the moment, the manufacturer can launch a total of seven vehicle variants in the country.
Tesla has received approval from local agencies to launch three more variants of its vehicles on Indian roads, according to The Hindu Business Line via @SawyerMerritt/Twitter. This means that Models 3 and Y, and possibly Models S and X in some versions, are approved for use in the country, although this does not oblige the manufacturer to immediately supply them to the local market.
Obtaining certification indicates that Tesla has passed the homologation phase for the three more models/variants for which it was seeking approval in India. Homologation is a process that confirms that a vehicle is fit for use and meets all the required criteria. This step is necessary to set the stage for the launch of sales there. Without approval from local agencies, vehicle access to the country's roads would have been impossible. This was another important milestone to launch Tesla car sales in India.
Tesla India Motors and Energy has received approvals for a total of seven variants of its vehicles, according to the Ministry of Roads and Highways, although specific models and variants have not been named. While the approval of the previous four variants strongly indicated that they were Model 3 and Y, which had already been repeatedly tested on Indian roads, for the three new variants it was impossible to make such a clear assumption. It is logical to assume that Tesla will start with the most affordable ones, though it would also be reasonable for the company to start by probing the market by delivering a number of more expensive models, such as Model S and X.
This approval does not mean that the company will immediately start selling cars in India. Tesla is currently seeking a reduction in duties from the government of the country, which means that it has not completed the implementation of its plans yet. According to the latest information, the Indian government may agree to lower duties on electric vehicles if the manufacturer fulfills certain conditions. At the moment, more specific information on this matter is not available.

Sunday was pretty tough for Shilpa Shinde as she was censured online by Hina Khan and her boyfriend Rocky Jaiswal for posting a clip of an adult video on Twitter. But Shilpa doesn't believe in reticence in such cases and responded to her 'haters' - Hina and Rocky, through a post on Instagram in what can be referred to as a perfect comeback. Along with a picture of herself, Shilpa wrote that she doesn't have the time to "hate people who hate her" because she is "busy" reciprocating love to those who value her.
Shilpa posted an adult film clip in defence of an MMS that was circulated last year where several quarters suggested that it was the 40-year-old actress who featured in the intimate video that was leaked online. Two days ago, in an attempt to clarify rumours as such, Shilpa shared the clip, saying that it wasn't her but somebody else. The video, Shilpa claimed, was the "original" one as she informed her fans about it, adding that she was defamed all of last year for this particular controversy.
Shilpa's tweet, though, was posted from her unverified handle on Twitter but made her trend ferociously over the weekend. During her stint in Bigg Boss 11, Shilpa had addressed the controversy and blamed co-contestant Vikas Gupta for the leaked video, alleging him of ruining her career through it.
Hina and Rocky, meanwhile, trolled Shilpa for her 'irresponsible move' while Rocky condemned her for promoting "porn on social media."
There has been no love lost between Shilpa Shinde and Hina Khan ever since their appearance on Bigg Boss 11. Shilpa was declared the winner of the season while Hina emerged as the first runner-up. (Also Read: Bigg Boss 11 winner Shilpa Shinde tweets a porn video, faces backlash from Hina Khan and BF Rocky Jaiswal)
Shilpa Shinde is best known for headlining Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai! She also featured in the shows Meher - Kahani Haq Aur Haqeeqat Ki, Bhabhi, Waaris and Chidiya Ghar. During Bigg Boss 11, Shilpa was the most talked about contestant as mentions of the actress peaked on Twitter with over 3 million tweets.
Shilpa Shinde currently features in the comedy web series Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan, with Sunil Grover as it premiered during the Indian Premier Leaugue or IPL on April 7.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer blog has a useful post up about the procedure for filling the job of King County prosecutor, which has been held for nearly three decades by Norm Maleng, who died Thursday.
Key points: The decision will be made by the King County Council, which is majority Democratic (barely). The appointee must, however, be a Republican. And the seat will be up for election this fall, meaning that candidacies (of the incumbent and others) will have to materialize almost immediately: "Because the primary election now is a month earlier than it has been in the past - on Aug. 21 this year - the five-day candidate filing period opens a week from Monday, nearly two months earlier than in past years."
That humming sound you hear is the intense burning of phone lines and waves across King County . . .

Agriculture: Where Poverty Reduction, Food Security
and Climate Change Intersect
Statement of Outcomes from Agriculture and Rural Development Day
12 December 2009, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Copenhagen
A group of more than 300 policymakers, farmers and scientists meeting in Copenhagen today urged on negotiators at the United Nations Climate Change Conference to recognize agriculture’s vital role in climate change adaptation and mitigation.
The group strongly endorsed the proposed target of cutting greenhouse gas emissions to avoid a temperature increase of more than 2 degrees C. They stressed that reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture is essential for achieving the target. Farmers and researchers are already finding climate change solutions. On that basis, the agricultural community intends to play a pro-active role in actions aimed at reducing emissions, while increasing the productive capacity of agriculture through the development of sustainable practices.
Agriculture faces the challenge of nearly doubling food production in order to meet the food needs of a population expected to reach 9 billion by mid-century but without increasing the sector’s emissions.. Across most of the tropics, agriculture will continue to face the enormous challenge of adapting to harsh and unpredictable growing conditions.
To meet the climate challenge, substantial additional financing and investment will be needed across the entire rural value chain. New investments must be handled transparently to ensure that adaptation and mitigation are not undermined by reduced support for global food security and rural development. In addition, new investment must be accessible to all stakeholders, including researchers and members of civil society, especially farmers and their associations.
Specifically, the group urged climate negotiators to agree on the early establishment of an agricultural work program under the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA).
Agriculture and Development Day was organized by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research, the Global Donor Platform for Rural Development, the Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Copenhagen, the International Federation of Agriculture Producers, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the International Fund for Agricultural Development, the Global Forum for Agricultural Research, the Earth System Science Partnership.

The past two years several JCU students have worked with philosophy professor Chris Rawls on short documentaries from inception and filming through editing and a premiere on campus. Our first doc short, The Delay, is about racism in America. It was received well by both the JCU community and at one short documentary film festival and competition in La Jolla, California where both students and professor (a PhD candidate at the time) received an Award of Recognition for All Student Female Crew!
Our second doc short A Horse for Alhazen is scheduled to premiere this Sunday, April 24 at 6 p.m. in Dolan Auditorium after a year in production! Please join us for 30 minutes of fun which weaves together the history of film and the invention of photography (“to draw light”), the nature of optics and art in philosophy, and the rise and success of equine therapy across Ohio. Your own French and Film Studies professor, Francoise Rolland, of JCU narrates the cinematic journey. Light snacks will be provided before the screening.
A Horse for Alhazen is free and open to the public.
We hope you will join us!


I made my old Delta Villian an air powered car once just like that. I still have the motor mount for it. I also made a small electric swamp boat too. Those are fun on ice and snow, but pretty slow on the water.
Powerful swamp boats (like the .46 nitro) are fast though even on water

Happy birthday, Blue Ivy Carter!
What do you get a baby who has everything?
It’s Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter’s first birthday today, and I’m assuming she already owns anything and everything I could think to get her for the big day — save for a trademarked name. Even her parents couldn’t pull that off. Despite that minor setback, Blue had a pretty glamorous, high-profile first year, even though she only made a few (mostly yacht-based) appearances. She also guested on Dad’s rap single hours after she was born, was a shopping companion for Mom, and set the bar for how cute one could look wearing a concert T-shirt.
And she’s not slowing down: For the upcoming year, she has a pretty full slate for a not-yet-even-a-toddler. She’ll probably be making an exclusive appearance in Beyoncé’s HBO documentary Feb. 13, and fans are anticipating a sighting — or a mini dance-off? — when Bey performs at the Super Bowl halftime show. Being a one-year-old is the perfect time for her to branch out a little bit with a new hair or fashion trend that grown women can then decide to copy (gold flats with tights, anyone?).
But the trappings of fame can seduce even the most A-list of babies. If there is any advice to give her, Jay-Z and Beyoncé should teach her to just say no…to playdates with Baby Kimye. She allegedly has a brand-new million-dollar nursery deep within Dad’s Barclays center. She doesn’t have to Keep Up with anyone.

Photographer Hannah Stonehouse Hudson of Stonehouse Photography made a splash on the Internet this past week after sharing a heartwarming dog photograph through Facebook.
The photograph shows Wisconsin resident John Unger in a tender moment with his dog Schoep in Lake Superior.
When Schoep started getting up in years, he developed arthritis in his legs.
As the pain started giving the dog sleeping problems, Unger discovered that water helps to soothe the pain. He therefore started taking Schoep into the waters of Lake Superior and allowing him periods of pain-free sleep in his arms.
Stonehouse Hudson tells the Huffington Post,
This photo was from a last minute session. We had been trying to get together for weeks, but it kept not happening because of my travel schedule for Stonehouse. We finally got together last Tuesday (the 31st). I had about 5 minutes to shoot and this is what I caught — a man and his dog. John loving his Schoep, and Schoep trusting John so much he falls asleep in the buoyancy of the water. This is in no way posed – I hate posed photos – they never, ever capture the true essence of anything.
After posting the photograph to Facebook, the image went viral. It has since attracted hundreds of thousands of likes and comments, and is being shared by the media all across the world:
In addition to her wedding photography business, Stonehouse Hudson also photographs pets, often volunteering her time to shoot portraits of animals at local shelters. You can find her on Facebook here.
Update: An anonymous donor has stepped forward to provide Schoep with laser treatment for his arthritis at a local animal hospital. (thx Cyrious!)

Our traditional boat may not be the fastest boat on the island but it certainly is one of the loveliest boats to observe cetaceans! Its vast wooden deck is a fantastic place to observe the animals from and its colourful bow often gleams at the surface during a sighting. Today the guests aboard our traditional boat were fortunate to enjoy incredible moments with Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) and mighty Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) in the morning and another group of spotted dolphins in the afternoon. The oligotrophic (low nutrient) waters surrounding the archipelago set a perfect stage for such sightings, allowing our guests to fully appreciate the features of these incredible animals.
It was a beautiful day out on the ocean with one of the smallest and biggest representatives of the toothed whales that visit the waters of our archipelago and, as always, they left us all in absolute awe!

With crypto, digital clones, metaverse, NFTs, and deep fakes, AI-powered text-to-image generators are one of the hottest innovations that will affect our digital lives shortly. In addition to the fact that their daily active user count is rapidly growing. Using this technology is a lot of fun. Enter some random text into the box and wait just a few seconds to see the picture that corresponds to your gibberish imagination appear before your eyes.
Some technological processes produce amusing and surprising outcomes. Overall, the AI-generated works are outstanding, and some are good enough to be mistaken for real artist masterpieces. Therefore, copyright, ethical, and dystopian nightmare all reside in this. AI art generators like Stable Diffusion and Mid journey have become popular activities for average users and art enthusiasts. However, this has set off a moral minefield for artists’ ability to make a living.
On October 11th, a prominent Korean anime artist, AT, was making Raiden Shogun’s art with her followers live on Twitch. A viewer from his stream “finished” the fan art before them by taking a snapshot of their art in progress. Afterwards, the thief put it into an artificial intelligence Ai image generator called Novel AI and even posted the final results before AT could. When the original artist, AT confronted the thief, they had the audacity to demand a reference image.
“You posted 5-6 hours after me, and for that kind of drawing, you can make it fast,” the swindler tweeted. You took [a] reference [from] an AI image, but at least admit it.”
The artwork thief even posted an unasked-for Q&A session on their Twitter. Honestly, the community can’t comprehend the motivations of this new-age scam artist. Moreover, I believe we can all agree that if AT didn’t confront them for sharing their creative works, they would have managed to get away with this crime. Therein there lays a further cause for worry.
The usage of AI art software for cyberbullying and fraud against creative individuals has also been brought up, diminishing their value to that of ordinary material farmers. Meanwhile, several artists have advised their fellow crafters to store backup streams of their process just in case. People have even tweeted that the experience has made them reluctant to live stream their work in progress again.
One artist lamented that “now any of us could be convicted by art thieves of stealing since their AI art ‘completed the work before. We at Anime Senpai would like to advise you to be keen on your art property. What do you guys think of this act? Make sure to leave your thoughts in the comments section below.

Thanksgiving, an American holiday, was founded on the genocide of millions of native Americans -- plain and simple. It is then something to be truly thankful for that this holiday, originally stained in blood, has evolved into one of the few that, at its core, remains mostly good. Friends and relatives assemble together, celebrate their familial bonds, and (usually) enjoy one another's company.
It is also admittedly despicable how some businesses taint this holiday, requiring their employees to work where otherwise not critically needed. Furthermore, it is equally wrong how, just one day after giving thanks for what we have, we trample
and fight one another to buy things we do not need from corporations we should not support. And people are paid poverty wages to endure and manage this hysteria.
This Thanksgiving, continue the goodness of the holiday by refusing to shop tonight, and tomorrow, and trying to actively force businesses to allow non-essential employees to be with their families. In this era of long-unseen polarization and animosity
, togetherness ought to be a virtue people of all ideologies can agree needs to be pursued. Indeed, this Thanksgiving, do not only be thankful for what you have, but also do your part to ensure that this outcome happens so others may enjoy the holiday, too.

Sunday afternoon, Waco Police, assisted by Department of Public Safety troopers, police officers from several cities and deputies from the McLennan County Sheriff’s Office were surrounding the Twin Peaks Restaurant, in the Central Texas Market Place after several people were reported shot during a rival biker gangs fight, Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said.
Police initially said three biker gangs were involved, but later said factions from at least five biker gangs took part in the melee.
Police and troopers were in the parking lot trying to secure the area and protect citizens when a fight broke out inside the restaurant and spilled into the parking lot.
Swanton said the fight quickly escalated from fists and feet to chains, clubs and knives, then to gunfire.
Gang members were shooting at each other and officers at the scene fired their weapons, as well, Swanton said.
I just finished binge watching Sons of Anarchy a few week ago and this just reminds me of that type of carnage. Check out a sample video:

I read yesterday that Rutherford’s model of the atom is 100 years old this year. He presented his findings at a meeting of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society – this link is worth a read.
I dug a little deeper and found that Google Scholar has indexed a copy of Rutherford’s article published in May 1911 (100 years ago this month!) where he explains the scattering of alpha and beta particles by matter. Some of the diagrams are missing and the maths is a little scary but the commentary at the end is interesting. You can download the article using the link at the end of this post.
Professor Martyn Poliakoff made a video about Rutherford and his work.
Rutherford was a Physicist but he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1908, just before he discovered the structure of the atom. It may have been in revenge for his famous quotation
All science is either physics or stamp collecting
There is a video of Rutherford talking to the IEE about his work and I found this modern video showing a recreation of the original experiment on alpha particle scattering.

Formed of equal parts creation and desolation, Psychic Rites' brand of dark and sugary dance pop pierces through the alt-country air and folk saturated rolling hills of northern Idaho with a sense of urgency and frenetic freshness.
The outcome is a seamless,infectious blend of romanticized intellectual independence and the electro-sex sounds of bands like The Knife, Goblin, and Giorgio Moroder.
Their local house shows in the basements of rural Moscow, ID regularly fill to capacity with people who care to dance. The sound is sexy. It's young. It's smart. When listening, it provides the opportunity to feel as if investing in a smoke machine and the complete works of Friedrich Nietzsche (or, at the very least, a case of Red Bull and some glow sticks) and hosting a makeout party is a reasonable idea. They're your first trip abroad. They are Berlin, with a hint of Italian euro-trash. They are your next favorite band.
“Psychic Rites is hands down the most exciting band this year.”/ Mishka NYC
"Psychic Rites are a super gothy synthpop cult from Moscow, ID, which is just on the Washington border, and used to be called “Hog Heaven” but then “five men in the area met to choose a proper name for the town, but could not come to agreement. The postmaster Samuel Neff then completed the official papers for the town and selected the name Moscow. Interestingly, Neff was born in Moscow, Pennsylvania and later moved to Moscow, Iowa.” /Silent Shout
“It plays out in an electric orchestra of sound that is engaging, both for body and mind. Because while the element of darkness is present, it doesn’t take away from the other aim of Psychic Rites’ music — getting people to dance.”/ the Inlander
“one of our favorite bands to come out of the Palouse”/ the Inlander
“It’s sexy, forlorn, and folkloric, but totally Northwest American. Perfect for a chilly springtime night.”/ Buffablog
“Ritualistic dance becomes the expression of the liturgical rite of fulfillment, casting a spell with sinuous micro-pitched sounds.”/ Sounds Behind the Corner (Translated from Italian)
“brilliantly produced, dark, droning, electro synth pop with great vocals and great song structures”/ Fokkawolfe

Numerous film premieres, after parties and receptions are held in the theaters and lobby of The Bethel Cinema as well as local restaurants and pubs within a short walk or drive of the theater. We always have audience Q&As, panels or discussions after every film or block of shorts.
Educational workshops, panels and keynotes take place on more than two-dozen random Saturday and Sunday mornings throughout the year.

Response from festival:
Greetings Kevin, I believe the communication with you and your film was excellent. I called you multiple times, partnered with an LGBTQ organization and along with several other volunteers, spent an entire day handing our filers after a Pride parade. I truly believe in your film and that's why I had several people involved and we made a huge effort promoting TransGeek to every media outlet in the state. Even though I felt we had a great screening, the turnout was mediocre and there were not even enough audience members to sustain the event financially. You and I have arranged to screen your film before a student audience in the Fall at Housatonic Community College because we believe in your efforts and the topic.
Response from festival:
Greetings Josh, your film was accepted. The festival screens movies 52 weeks a year. We notify filmmakers when we program their films. Sorry if there was a misunderstanding. We are planning on screening your film twice. Once in Bethel and once at our other location at Housatonic Community College. Your film and it's collaterals were downloaded a long time ago and are in the cue with several similar murderous films. We like your film very much and it is in competition.

Response from festival:
Greetings Gino, Your film was awesome! The timing of the screening couldn't have been better. It gave us the opportunity to discuss the differences between the circus in your film and the demise of a large entertainment conglomerate discarding Americas Greatest Show on Earth because it wasn't worth the new owner's time to reinvent it for the modern audience. It all came down to big profits instead of scaling back the icon.

One of my favorite dancers and good friend is Rayhana.One of my favorite dancers and good friend is Rayhana. She acquired a costume from Totally Creative that I have always admired. When Rayhana and I worked private parties we always have to think about what costumes we have that look nice together, so I always wanted to make one that would go with her red tapestry one. The design is so unique I had no idea how to start.
I met the designer from TC and she offered to teach me how to create that style of work. I jumped at the chance to learn from this amazing talent and pulled out all the red beads that I had been collecting. I dropped every thing else I was working on and feverishly worked on this master piece. With TC’s guidance, I finished this costume in record time- faster than any other costume I have ever worked on- started June 2006, finished Sept 2006. I just couldn’t stop working on it un till it was finished!
Totally Creative gave me so much wonderful information and I was just absolutely mesmerized by the amazing way TC put beads and drapes. I still am a student and will need to study this for some time.
At the same time Audra Evans was teaching my how to dye silks. I died a purple to red umbrae skirt and thought this costume might go with it. TC advised me that purple beads will fade and I decided to steer away from putting lots of purple on the costume.
I asked Audra to make me a pair of fire and brimstone half circle veils. She created these master pieces. She photographed herself with them and sent me photographs of them. I was so excited about them I posted the photograph in my blog, telling people they had not been sent to me yet. Amazingly, someone contacted her and tried to buy them out from under me! I laughed so hard to hear that the world of veils is a cut throat!
As I finished my red tapestry costume a revelation came over me. This costume has the same hematite colors in it as the veils do. And as I looked closer at the veil and its color shading it perfectly matches the tapestry costume, as if it was meant to be. (see photo above)
Audra was coming up for a visit and I worked like crazy to get the costume finished in time. I was even stitching the last hook the day before she arrived. She arrived and we went strait to my photography studio. She brought her camera and toys to shoot me. I hired Andrew Jones to come and make me beautiful, his talents with a make up brush make me never want to bother to attempt doing makeup myself.
This shoot was a wonderful experience for the two of us. We met because I photo graphed her. Audra was one of my first dance models. It was nice to have our creative collaborations come full circle with her shooting me. I was also able to share some of my new found beading knowledge with her (see the Gold rhinestone). We both drool over Totally Creative’s costume work. Since she has shared some much beading knowledge with me it was nice to show her this new treasure.
For the photo shoot Rayhana let me borrow her skirt that she wears with her tapestry costume. The skirt was two layers one layer created by Totally Creative and the other by Decotock.
The next night I performed in the costume at the Cupping Room. It behaved wonderfully, so much so, that I don’t feel like wearing anything else for a while.
Doesn’t this need to be a cd cover?

Children have been turned away in tears from a Cheltenham school on the first day of term after failing to meet new uniform rules.
Parents who had ordered the controversial new trousers and skirts for Bournside School have been told their children cannot attend school until the items arrive – a wait of up to three weeks for some.
Teachers at the school gates have refused to let pupils wearing the incorrect items onto the site.
Sophie Davies said her son Jake was devastated after he was refused entry to the school in Warden Hill Road because he was wearing the wrong trousers, despite having a note explaining his clothes were on order.
She said: “I went in to buy his trousers from School Togs but they didn’t have them in his size. I ordered them but they said it would be three weeks. I sent him in this morning wearing smart black trousers with a note and a copy of the receipt but he was sent home at the gates.
“The teachers were stood like bouncers turning them away. I’ve had to leave work to go and get him, he was in tears. He was already nervous about needing extra help due to his dyslexia.
“I can understand if parents are being rebellious but I bought the trousers, it is just that they haven’t arrived.”
Another mum, who asked not to be named, said her 12-year-old boy was sent home and claimed he won’t be allowed back until he has the correct trousers – which she says will take two weeks.
“It’s unbelievable, they are prioritising their uniform over the education of my son,” she said.
“We had nothing from the school about this new uniform, no letter at all.
“He was really looking forward to going back today and now he’s so upset. My husband and me work nights and now we can’t get any sleep while we sort this out – and he can’t go back there for two weeks.”
She said at least two other parents were being told the same as her by the school when she dropped her son off.
“The receptionist was almost in tears, the headteacher wouldn’t come and talk to us, I felt so sorry for her because people are so angry and she’s having to deal with all of it,” said the mum.
“We had an incident last year when he wore the wrong uniform and the school said then ‘you’ve got five days to sort it out otherwise you’ll have to stay at home’ – but today he’s been sent straight home.”
The new uniform involves trousers and skirts displaying the school badge. The school blazer already displays the logo, which some parents have said means the changes are unnecessary.
Are Bournside right to turn pupils away?
1000+ VOTES SO FAR
A third parent, Liz Scott, from Hatherley, took a call from her 14-year-old son Jackson Higley this morning telling her he had been turned away at the school gates.
She had objected to the 'unnecessary' uniform change but had decided she would compromise and buy one pair of the new trousers, only to find the school shop had run out of stock in Jackson's size.
He was sent to school today in 'smart' grey Marks and Spencer trousers instead but was told they were not appropriate.
Mrs Scott, 33, has written to the school to tell them she believes they are stretching Government guidelines on uniform policies 'too far' and informed Cheltenham MP Alex Chalk.
"I just find it ridiculous and I think the school are being really stubborn about it," said Liz.
"I don't think he will be allowed back until he has the right trousers and it's really unfair. It has been recorded as an 'unauthorised absence' too which is ludicrous.
"Jackson is worried, he's texted me saying 'what's going to happen now' and he is missing out. It's the run-up to his GCSEs now and it's a really important time."
Parents have been told in a letter from the school's headteacher Gareth Burton that children whose uniform they can prove is on order will be allowed back tomorrow, but any child wearing the incorrect trousers or skirt and doesn't have the right ones on order, will not be allowed in.
His letter said: "I would like to offer my thanks to all parents/carers and students for the way that they have embraced the changes to our new school uniform, with a new style skirt or pair of trousers.
"Our aim throughout this change is to ensure that all our students look smart and take pride in their appearance.
"I am delighted that 97% of our students have arrived at school today wearing our new compulsory school uniform and are looking exceptionally smart.
"Any student not wearing our new skirt/trousers was not allowed into school.
"I have been made aware that of the very small number of students who were not allowed into school today, some are still awaiting delivery of an order for a new skirt/pair of trousers with one of our two suppliers and have not yet received the order.
"Both suppliers will be providing the school with a list of all orders that have been placed, but not yet received by the supplier and therefore, I can confirm that from Thursday September 7, if you have placed an order for a new skirt/pair of trousers and this has not yet been received by the supplier, we will allow your son/daughter into school and we will provide them with a uniform card until their order arrives.
"My clear view is that this is fair and reasonable, since the delay is outside of your control.
"However, if your son/daughter arrives at school wearing an incorrect skirt or pair of trousers, which does not comply with our school uniform and neither supplier has a record of an order being placed by you, your son/daughter will not be allowed into school until they are wearing the correct uniform or until we have confirmation from one of our suppliers that an order has been placed for the item."

Reasonable & Responsible Representation for Belknap County -- Not Radicals!
- Belknap County Delegation
- United States of America
Belknap County Voters –
On this, most Republicans, Democrats and independents agree: Rep. Norm Silber, Rep. Michael Sylvia and their Free State followers MUST NOT BE RE-ELECTED!
These extremist legislators and their followers have:
- Manipulated the Gunstock Area Commission, threatening Gunstock’s very existence
- Derailed the county delegation
- Run up $50,000 in legal bills defending their misdeeds
- Tried to pass a Constitutional Amendment to have NH secede from the United States!
- Jeopardized the operations of our nursing home
- Starved our Sheriff’s Department and County Corrections budgets to dangerous levels
So divisive are their antics that they are at odds with Gunstock’s management team, the Belknap County Commissioners, most mainstream Republicans, Governor Sununu, and most importantly, the very citizens they are sworn to serve.
I WILL make my voice heard and vote for REASONABLE, RESPONSIBLE representatives in the September 13 state primary and November 8 general election who will be good stewards for our county.
I WILL NOT vote for radical, extremist candidates who have disrupted our county government, and endangered our county institutions through their neglect and irresponsible behavior.
The Reasonable & Responsible Representation for Belknap County -- Not Radicals! petition to Belknap County Delegation was written by Citizens for Belknap and is in the category Politics at GoPetition.

India’s retail industry is going through a drastic change and all for the better. It is going through one of the fastest development phases and is expected to grow drastically.
Some facts about India’s Retail Industry
It is one of the fifth largest preferred Retail Industrial destinations and it ranks highest among the world in terms of per capita retail store availability.
With the real estate sector on a growth momentum, India is set to add new malls in the retail space. The malls will be spread across 8 of India’s big cities.
A positive and a healthy economic growth, changing demographics, increasing disposable incomes, changing consumer tastes and urbanization are all adding to the booming retail market growth.
Increased participation of the foreign players is adding to the boost in the Retail Industry.
The Indian retail sector is experiencing exponential growth and is poised to be one of the big players in the Indian economy. This is because the retail sector development will not just take place in the big cities or metros but also in the Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities which will only add to the overall retail sector growth.
Retail is further poised for growth-
After a comparatively sluggish retail sector growth the retail sector is on a growth momentum and is going to play a key role in the economy. The reason for this is that the market is now confident that the retail sector will play a positive role in the future growth of the economy.
But at the same time, it is understood that the malls will hold an important destination and will not just be a shopper’s paradise. Alongside that e-commerce stores are also establishing their presence in many prominent malls which is only adding to the fodder.
The market will be bullish and on an upswing for growth over the coming few years. The scope for the expansion of the retail market is tremendous and is only going to get bigger and better and is going to expand.
And so due to this very reason, the investors are very earnest to capitalize and invest in this market and maximize their returns.
So why is there a sudden expansion of the retail space for malls?
As mentioned above foreign retailers are entering the market and are scouting for interesting locations which will be an overall attractive destination.
Which are the cities which will be getting new retail malls?
Amongst these cities, Hyderabad will be witnessing the largest number of malls expansion and will double its inventory.
However, it is important that the malls are professionally managed and are well looked after. It will not just be blind scouting for malls but a lot behind it. Since its going to be a big player in the economy it will be worthwhile to see that how it contributes to our growth trajectory.


I went backpacking in the Smokies in the spring and will likely be heading back. I was thinking about taking a handgun along. I'm assuming a revolver is the way to go. Seems like it couple handle a little dirt and keep running when an auto might stop. I've shot .357's on a number of occasions and can handle them alright. Could honestly use a little practice. Probably since I'm more used to autos.
Anyhow, what handgun might you recommend going into the woods with?
I saw a GP 100 at the local shop. Seemed like a nice revolver for a decent price.

Serendipity in Science
Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined on stage by comedian Lee Mack, science author and journalist Simon Singh and chemist Professor Andrea Sella to look at how many of our biggest science discoveries seem to have come about by accident. From Viagra to Pyrex to the discovery of the Cosmic Background Microwave Radiation, the earliest remnant of the big bang, they all owe their discovery to a healthy dose of luck and accident as scientists stumbled across them in the course of looking for something else. So are these discoveries just luck, are they still deserving of Nobel prizes and scientific glory, or is serendipity and an open scientific mind key to exploring and understanding our universe?

Well happy Halloween! Today I have something quite spooktacular (sorry), with this moody Gothic outdoor wedding styling, created and captured by Eleni P Photography.
With the backdrop of Bancroft Tower, this shoot has a fabulously eerie ambience, with rich deep red, black and gold colours giving an autumnal vibe.
The pièce de résistance of this shoot though is the fabulous tablescape. Set upon a white rustic door, beautiful styling details stand out amongst the white table runner, napkins and plates. Gold chargers, cutlery and candlestick holders, black candles, coloured ornate glassware, and beautiful vases of dark flowers and foliage bring the table to life. Then, to complete the styling, pheasant feathers and a sheep skull add yet another dimension.
The bridal styling is pretty cool too. To complement her dark and sultry make-up, the bride wears an unusual black two-piece, with a full silk skirt teamed with sexy lace cropped top. This Gothic-like bridal look, along with the shoot location, helped evolve this shoot from its original boho theme.
Haunting beautiful, I hope you enjoy pinning these ideas…
“It was important that this shoot was very creative, as opposed to a cookie cutter wedding shoot. I wanted to show brides that, with a little help from amazing vendors, they can get as funky and vintage as possible.
“To start with the focus of the styling was very boho, with the aim of using eclectic materials to achieve this. These included the wood cake block, the door as the table, the macramé arch I made, and the unique glassware. Yet, with the black dress, heavier make-up and castle location, it had more of a Gothic look, so we decided to go for it.
“I loved the texture of the castle rocks, and tried to mimic that with the cake and boho table setup. This also helped to soften the Gothic feel. The black dress is interesting too because it’s actually a skirt and a top, and bridal separates are becoming more popular with brides.”

Governor Tony Evers put forward a plan today that would decriminalize marijuana. This comes after years of failed attempts at similar legislation — but this time, they have support from the governor.
Many legalization and decriminalization proponents are celebrating Evers’ announcement today, but it still faces likely roadblocks in the Republican-controlled legislature.
Evers says he’ll include the marijuana decriminalization plan in his budget proposal. That plan would make possession of less than 25 grams of marijuana no longer a crime.
His plan would also legalize medical marijuana and would expand access to CBD oil. Evers says in addition to being a healthcare issue, he’s also pushing this plan to improve the criminal justice system.
“Wisconsinites overwhelmingly agree that access to medical marijuana, CBD oil and decriminalization for small amounts of marijuana are critically important issues,” Evers says. “And I believe we can get this done in the budget.”
A Marquette University Law school poll found that nearly 60 percent of Wisconsin voters support marijuana legalization.
The plan would also create a path to expungement for people who have completed their sentences for low level drug offenses.
Representative David Crowley is a Democrat from Milwaukee and chair of the Legislature’s black caucus. He sees this as a good first step at easing disparities in the state’s criminal justice system.
“African Americans make up only six percent of the population in our state. However, we make up almost 40 percent of our prison population,” Crowley says. “That is unjust. Many, if not most of these crimes these young black men are getting locked up for are for low-level drug offenses.”
Iraq War veteran Steve Acheson uses cannabis to treat symptoms of injuries he sustained during the war, as well as PTSD. He says legalizing medical marijuana will provide an alternative to addictive prescription painkillers.
“There’s way too many of our fellow veterans dying from overprescription and suicide,” Acheson says. “We need an alternative and we need an off-ramp.
The plan has already received push-back from some Republicans in the Legislature. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said in a statement that although he’s open to legalizing medical marijuana, this plan “appears to go too far.”
Evers said today he’s pushing for decriminalization rather than full legalization because it’s more likely to get bipartisan support.
“We’re starting with places that we can win,” Evers says. “I believe there are Republicans out there that believe this is important, not only around medical marijuana but decriminalizing small amounts,” Evers says.
Evers is set to release his full budget proposal later this month.
