What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct health care profession, emphasizing prevention and optimal health through the use of methods and substances that encourage the inherent self-healing process. The practice of naturopathic medicine relies heavily on finding and addressing all factors that cause disease rather than merely suppressing the symptoms. Naturopathic medicine emphasizes prevention and health optimization, not simply the absence of disease, and uses natural therapies such as supplementation, botanical medicine, nutrition and other therapies with a high safety profile and low risk compared to pharmaceutical approaches. Some now call this functional medicine.
How much does it cost?
The cost of our wellness approach varies based on each individual’s needs. We offer different payment plans to fit your budget. Please book a complimentary call for more information.
Will health insurance pay for my care?
In California, health insurance companies do not pay for the comprehensive type of care we provide. They also do not pay for the duration of time provided, patient education or the therapeutics we offer.
Therefore, we operate outside of the insurance model, so as to prevent this industry from interfering with your needs. To prevent costs from standing between you and a health solution, we offer payment plans to fit your budget.
Do you offer patient financing?
To help avoid the high interest rates charged by financial institutions, we offer no interest payment plans instead.
Can I use my Health Savings Account/Flexible Spending Account?

I've got a new story up at usnews.com about how happy the gay-rights movement is about President-elect Obama's invitation to gay Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson to deliver the invocation to kick off inauguration week, especially on the heels of the Rick Warren invitation.
What's remarkable is how bullish Human Rights Campaign, the biggest gay-rights group in the country, is on Obama now after going apoplectic over Warren a few weeks back. Some of that is a reflection on the symbolism of Robinson after Warren.
But it's more than that. It's a testament to how strenuously the Obama transition team has been reaching out to gay-rights leaders and how enthusiastically it has responded to those leaders' list of policy priorities. Here's part of my story that draws from an interview I did this morning with Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese:
Despite the fallout the Warren invitation engendered in the gay community, the Human Rights Campaign's Solmonese says the Obama transition team has been "very enthusiastic to the list of agenda items for the LGBT community."
That wish list includes executive orders for instituting nondiscrimination policies for federal employees on sexual orientation or gender identity grounds, for interpreting the Family and Medical Leave Act to include same-sex partners, and to enact a congressionally approved end to a ban on HIV-positive travelers from entering the U.S.
"Four years from now, will we believe that we have made more progress for advancing gay equality than at any other time in our history and than under any other president?" says Solmonese. "I think the answer is yes. That is what's paramount."
Solmonese is fairly gushing here. Very high hopes for Obama. Compare that to my conversation with Human Rights Campaign Vice President David Smith about a month ago:
Smith...said Obama's gay outreach to date has been a "mixed bag." He said HRC had been disappointed in how few openly gay appointments Obama had made so far. The only such appointment to a prominent White House post so far, according to Smith, is Nancy Sutley as chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality....
"The Obama team has sent a very uplifting message that positive change is coming for LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender] Americans, but we haven't seen it yet. There has been no concrete evidence of inclusion. That's the environment in which this Warren announcement happened—it exacerbates the level of disappointment that exists."
In four short weeks, HRC is singing a much different tune. And it ain't all 'cause of Gene Robinson. The transition team has clearly stepped up its LGBT outreach. Now let's see how many of those executive orders Obama delivers.


text: Homophobia circulates transnationally and has become an everyday reality for gay people, especially in Africa. This book explores how a group of gay migrant men whom are drawn by the appeal of the city and the abstract sense of freedom associated therewith, reorganizes their lives and locate a space to live. They find an unlikely space- a Catholic church, where this unfolds. This group do not actively draw upon asylum legislation to integrate however legal and constitutional legislation features to create an identity of freedom. This is not without obstacles and through social surveillance, moral regulation and possible outing due the presence of fellow nationals, this group of men have to employ alternative resources and forms of refuge to create a space within this city. The emphasis on sexuality, gender and class in determining citizenship and legislative protection for minorities- propels this book to investigate questions around, citizenship, belonging and the role of religion when the nation-state is based on heteronormative relations and assumptions.

Iran has been accused of misleading the international community by claiming to have abandoned the death penalty for juvenile offenders and execution by stoning for those convicted of adultery.
Local news agencies reported at the weekend that Iran's guardian council, a body of clerics and lawyers in charge of approving parliamentary activities, had approved a new amendment to the country's penal code which had been passed into law by the MPs.
The new penal code – which will come into effect after being signed by the president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – is believed to have been adopted in response to international criticism of Iran's violations of human rights.
But experts who have studied the new code questioned claims that the country had fully abolished the death penalty for those convicted under the age of 18 or abandoned its use of stoning. They also believe the amendments have complicated some other parts of the law, especially the punishment of homosexuality.
Sodomy for men was punishable by death for all individuals involved in consensual sexual intercourse, but under the new amendments the person who played an active role will be flogged 100 times if the sex was consensual and he was not married, but the one who played a passive role will still be put to death regardless of his marriage status.
Under the new code, the death sentence has been removed for juveniles only in crimes whose punishment can be administered at the discretion of the judge (such as drug offences). Under the same law, however, a death sentence may still be applied for a juvenile if he or she has committed crimes that are considered to be "claims of God" and therefore have mandatory sentences (such as sodomy, rape, theft, fornication, apostasy and consumption of alcohol for the third time).
A decision on whether such a death sentence for a juvenile can be issued relies on the "judge's knowledge" – a loophole that allows for subjective judicial rulings where no conclusive evidence is present.
Amnesty International's Iran researcher Drewery Dyke said: "Let's not be fooled by this seeming suggestion of improvements to Iran's penal code. The penal code still allows for stoning to be carried out. Child offenders are still at risk of being placed on death row, and men and women can still be convicted on grounds of consensual extramarital and same-sex relations."
"These new amends to Iran's penal code have done nothing to improve the country's human rights record.
Shadi Sadr, a prominent Iranian human rights lawyer exiled in London, said: "The amendments are flawed but it shows international pressure on Iran still works." Sadr's colleague, Nasrin Sotoudeh, who highlighted juvenile executions in the Islamic republic, remains in jail in the country.
Confusion over Iran's definition of a juvenile has also added to the complexity of the issue, said Raha Bahreini, a fellow at Amnesty International Canada. The country does not provide a clear distinction between the age of majority – when minors cease to legally be considered children – and the minimum age of criminal responsibility, which is 15 for boys and nine for girls under Iranian law.
"Iran's penal system has often taken the minimum age of criminal responsibility for the age of majority," she said, "thus allowing individuals under the age of 18 to be treated and sentenced as adults as soon they reach the minimum age of criminal responsibility."
According to the old penal code, people convicted of having an "illicit relationship outside marriage" would be sentenced to death by stoning. The new code, however, still considers "adultery while married" as a crime but has not designated any punishment for it, thus referring the judge to the fatwa of a reliable cleric (the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in this case) for a decision. Khamenei has not yet issued a fatwa for such a crime, but all other clerics in the country order stoning as its punishment. It would be highly unlikely that Khamenei would contradict his fellow clerics.
"It's simply a trick," said Sadr. "They've removed death by stoning from the penal code but in reality it remains in place."
The new penal code does not mention stoning as punishment for any crime but it does refer to it twice in a section about the criminal procedure rules and conditions under which such a punishment can be administered.
"The fact that stoning has been mentioned in the criminal procedures of administrating the punishment – it shows they are truly expecting the method to be used in future," said Sadr, adding there were other discrepancies in the code.
In recent years, Iran has been criticised by human rights organisations for its escalating use of the capital punishment. Recently, an international outcry over the case of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, a 44-year-old mother of two, highlighted the plight of at least a dozen Iranians behind bars who are awaiting death by stoning.

Sustainable technologies for low-income settings
LIDC's innovation area creates, tests and measures the impact of low cost, sustainable technologies for low-income settings.
We support a diverse range of tools to address a diverse range of challenges from disease diagnostics to knowledge technologies, bio-sensors and decision-support tools. Our tools are solution-led.
LIDC’s Innovation work also supports the wider application of design thinking processes to underpin research exploring wider challenges faced by our stakeholders.
Infectious diseases, and increasing resistance to antimicrobials (AMR) used to control these diseases, pose a major threat to human health. In particular, the rise of AMR in zoonotic pathogens (bacteria, parasites) can lead to infections in humans that are untreatable even by last-resort drugs. Our ability to assess disease risk, by early detection of pathogens circulating in animal populations, is hampered by a lack of low-cost, portable diagnostic tools. Likewise, disease control is hindered by a dearth of suitable vaccines, and by data scarcity, leading to large uncertainties in mathematical models of pathogen spread and persistence, both in humans and livestock. The Bloomsbury SET (Science, Economics, Technology), which is funded by Research England, will connect place, people, businesses, ideas and infrastructures in pursuit of innovative scientific / technical solutions (tools, vaccines, models) that will help safeguard human health. At the same time, we will use our convening power to test whether our proposed public health interventions are acceptable socially, economically and politically – a vital, but often overlooked, aspect that ultimately determines their success in the real world. In weaving these strands together, The Bloomsbury SET will facilitate innovation and productivity within business (core aims of the Industrial Strategy), whilst also helping to shape public health policies and practices.

Here is a nice early 1960's Legnano pista.
This frame set was in pretty poor shape when we
found it. It's last use had been as a
single speed TT mount, hense the brake
hole in the front forks.
I first had the frame rechromed at Kustom Chrome in
Gisbourne, an excellent job a usual..thanks guys.
Trust me, chrome didn't look like this a couple of months ago!
I made my own stencil's for the Legnano down tube script, and
am very glad I did, the decals just don't cut it.
So after plenty of time preping and painting etc, I was
rewarded finally with a very pretty Legnano Pista.
Ercole Baldini on the Vigorelli velodrome.
Certainly a race pedigree second to none.
It was a real pleasure to bring this frame back
to life, it is now a real thing of beauty.

People with bipolar disorder have an increased risk of developing other health conditions that affect their physical and mental well-being. It is important to take proactive steps to prevent these possible complications and to monitor and respond to them when they occur.
Bipolar disorder affects a person’s mood, energy, and ability to concentrate, and it can lead to unpredictable periods of mania and depression. It may also occur alongside other conditions that affect a person’s overall health. These can range from substance use disorders to obesity.
This article looks at how bipolar disorder can affect other aspects of a person’s well-being. It also explains the steps that people can take to help prevent or manage complications.
Substance use disorders are one of the most common complications of bipolar disorder. A 2019 study involving more than 316,000 people with bipolar disorder found that more than half had a substance use disorder.
Alcohol use disorder is the type of substance use disorder that most commonly affects people with bipolar disorder. However, the use of cannabis or other recreational drugs is not uncommon.
People with bipolar disorder may use these substances in an attempt to relieve manic and depressive symptoms. However, these individuals may have an increased risk of addiction. Researchers propose that this is due to bipolar disorder and substance use disorders sharing genetic factors and both affecting the parts of the brain related to impulsivity and reward.
Although substance use may seem to provide temporary relief from bipolar disorder symptoms, it does not treat the underlying cause of the disease. In fact, it often makes bipolar disorder symptoms worse.
Following a treatment plan for bipolar disorder may help prevent substance use disorders from developing or improve a person’s outcome. A psychiatrist can help adjust a person’s treatment plan if their current regimen is not controlling their bipolar disorder symptoms sufficiently.
They might also suggest using medication or cognitive behavioral therapy to help manage the symptoms of addiction.
It can sometimes be challenging to distinguish the symptoms of an anxiety disorder from those of bipolar disorder. A person with bipolar disorder may also have anxiety if they experience:
- panic attacks, anxiety, or nervousness between episodes of depression and mania
- significant sleep problems and anxiety when not in a manic state
- difficulty adjusting to medication side effects and finding the right dosage of medications
Anxiety symptoms do not respond to bipolar disorder treatment. Untreated anxiety may also increase the likelihood of developing a substance use disorder.
People who experience anxiety symptoms outside of manic and depressive episodes should talk with a psychiatrist. Although it can be difficult to prevent anxiety from occurring, medication or cognitive behavioral therapy can often treat the symptoms effectively.
Migraine is a common complication of bipolar disorder, with close to
People with bipolar disorder and migraine tend to have
A primary care provider or neurologist can help determine whether medication is necessary to manage migraine symptoms. Using a headache journal to track migraine episodes may also help identify potential migraine triggers that people can then avoid to prevent attacks from occurring.
People with bipolar disorder are about twice as likely as the general population to have metabolic syndrome. Obesity and metabolic syndrome affect roughly
Bipolar disorder significantly affects a person’s mood and can reduce their energy levels. Studies suggest that people with bipolar disorder have
Certain types of medications, including some antipsychotics, also
Behavioral and lifestyle changes, including getting regular exercise and following a well-balanced diet, may help prevent weight gain in people with bipolar disorder. If weight gain resulting from a bipolar disorder medication is problematic for a person’s health, their doctor may prescribe a different treatment.
Heart disease and diabetes
People with bipolar disorder have a higher risk of both metabolic syndrome and diabetes, which may increase the risk of heart disease. People with metabolic syndrome, diabetes, or both should undergo regular monitoring for changes in their lipid and blood glucose levels.
Heart disease is a leading cause of death among people with severe mental health disorders, including bipolar disorder. According to an
Increasing physical activity and eating a heart-healthy diet can help with weight maintenance and the prevention of serious complications from obesity and metabolic syndrome.
People with bipolar disorder are more likely also to have a variety of psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders than people without bipolar disorder.
It may be that emotional dysregulation in bipolar disorder increases the likelihood of developing other mental health conditions. Or it may be that these conditions have similar underlying causes. Both of these factors likely play a role.
Research suggests that the following conditions are more prevalent among people with bipolar disorder:
- Eating disorders: Some studies estimate that up to
one-thirdof people with bipolar disorder will experience an eating disorder in their lifetime. Bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder are especially common.
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): Studies estimate that
11–21%of people with bipolar disorder also experience OCD.
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): An analysis of 71 studies involving more than 646,000 people from 18 countries found that nearly
1 in 6adults with bipolar disorder also has ADHD.
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD):
Researchsuggests that ASD often occurs alongside bipolar disorder. As ASD affects emotional regulation, it may be challenging to diagnose bipolar disorder in these individuals.
It is important for mental health professionals to monitor people with bipolar disorder so that they can diagnose and treat any other mental health conditions.
People with bipolar disorder may experience a variety of psychiatric, physical, and mental health conditions that can complicate managing their health. In many cases, effectively treating bipolar disorder can help reduce a person’s likelihood of developing complications from other health conditions.
A person’s psychiatric and primary care teams will work together to optimize their health and well-being. If a person’s treatment plan is proving ineffective, their psychiatrist can help find the right combination of medication and psychotherapy to reduce the symptoms. A primary care provider can help care for some complications linked to bipolar disorder and provide referrals to specialists if necessary.

Fruit Juice Market Induced by Rising Health and Wellness Trends
Growing health consciousness, increasing disposable income, value addition, product innovation and growth in emerging markets are currently driving the global fruit juice market.
Fruit juices are prepared by extracting the pulp of fruits or by using artificial flavours. They contain all the goodness of the whole fruit in a condensed form. Not only are fruit juices perfect for today’s eat-on-the-run lifestyle but are also a good source of carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals (protective compounds) which are essential for growth of the human body. Some of the fruit juices help to fight cancer and heart diseases while others serve as the best non- prescription drugs.
Fruit juices are commonly consumed as a beverage or used as an ingredient or flavouring in foods. They are available in various forms depending upon their juice content- nectar (25-99% juice content), juice drinks (25% juice content), concentrates and powdered Juice. Owing to the refreshing nature, convenience, nutritional benefits and good source of instant energy, the fruit juice market currently represents a multibillion dollar industry. According to research analysts at IMARC Group, the global fruit juice market was worth 42.6 Billion Litres in 2015. It is further anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 2% during 2016-2021, reaching a volume of 48.2 Billion Litres by 2021.

Consumers shifting towards healthier drinks
Due to growing health and dietary concerns, consumers are now preferring healthier products. As a result, fruit juices are preferred over carbonated and soft drinks available in the market. Changing lifestyles coupled with increasing awareness about the health benefits, fruit juices have become a part of the everyday diet.
In recent years, a key trend has been an increasing focus on high quality and premium fruit juice. As a result, consumers are willing to spend on premium juices, be it for health reasons or indulgence. Consequently, this has prompted producers to invest in the development of functional and value-added juices.
Orange represented the most popular flavour
With high concentrations of vitamin C and its high nutritional value, orange juice is widely considered as one of the healthiest beverages because of its innumerable health and skin benefits. It helps to boost immune system, reduce signs of aging, fight against cancer, boost metabolism, detoxify the body, improve circulation, improve blood pressure, reduce inflammation and lower cholesterol levels.
The global fruit juice market can be segmented on the basis of flavour. Orange juice exhibited a clear dominance in the market accounting for 35% of the total global market. Orange juice was followed by apple, mix fruit and grape juice.
North America represented the largest market
On a geographical front, the market has a presence in many countries across the globe. North America represented the world’s largest market for fruit juice and accounted for nearly 25% of the total global market share. North America was followed by Western Europe, Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. However, as the demand has more or less matured in the developed markets, future growth rates in these markets are expected to decline in the coming years. On the other hand, the emerging markets like Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East are expected to flourish swiftly in the near future.
Coca cola and PepsiCo dominate the global market
The highly fragmented and competitive global market for fruit juice features a number of small and big players operating in the market. The market is largely dominated by the key global players who are extending their presence worldwide, particularly in the developing regions like Asia-Pacific, Africa and Latin America. These leading players have a competitive edge over small players in terms of quality and pricing.
Coca cola and PepsiCo represented the biggest players in the market. Other key players include Tingyi, Huiyuan, Wild, Jugos and Eckles.

War at the Almshouse
— Gettysburg Campaign —On June 29, 1863, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's infantry was in Pennsylvania, and Gen. J.E.B. Stuart's cavalry arrived here on the outskirts of Westminster. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee's division led the column, which numbered 6,000 including cavalrymen and two horse artillery batteries. Prisoners captured at the blacksmith shop on Main Street told Lee that a small Union cavalry force occupied the town. Anticipating little resistance, he deployed skirmishers and sent the 3rd Virginia Cavalry and an artillery piece across the almshouse fields here. Before the troopers could get into position on Main Street near the railroad, however, Capt. Charles Corbit's Co. C and part of Co. D, 1st Delaware Cavalry, charged the Confederates near here on Washington Road. After sharp skirmishing, Stuart occupied Westminster.

EXERCISE: FIXED SPEED WIND TURBINE OF 300KW
Let’s consider a fixed speed wind turbine of 300 kW with the following parameters:
- Blades diameter (2R): 28 m
- Nominal wind speed V: 14 m/s
- Nominal rotational speed of the turbine rotor N turbine: 43 rpm
- Gearbox multiplication ratio: 35; In addition, the air density is 1.225 kg/m3.
- What parameters should be taken into account when choosing and installing a wind turbine ?
- Calculate the value of the wind turbine’s power coefficient Cp at the nominal operating point.
- Calculate the specific speed λ=R×Ω/V of the wind turbine. Conclude about the wind turbine type (rapid or slow). (Ω: Nominal rotational speed of the turbine rotor in rad/s).
- What is the rated speed N of the generator rotor?
1) The parameters that must be taken into account when choosing and installing a wind turbine are:
- The parameters that must be taken into account when choosing and installing a wind turbine are: Instantaneous wind velocity at the cube in generated power;
- Instantaneous air density, which is also involved in generated power, but at factor 1;
- Rotor area, which also intervenes at factor 1 in generated power.
2) Cp=P/0.5×ρ×S×R2×V3=300×103/0.5×1.225×π× R2×143=0.290 . Only 92% of wind energy is recovered.
3) Ω=43× 2 π/60=4.5rd/s
λ= R×Ω/V =14×4.5/14 =4.5 > 3; so it is a fast wind turbine.
4) The ratio of the multiplier is 35 and the nominal rotational speed of the rotor used is: 43 rpm.
The nominal speed of the desired generator is thus: N = 35 x 43 = 1505rpm.

“This forest road is the bunny slope of backcountry skiing.”— Rik van Riel
The first two miles are part of the Waterville Valley cross country ski area, but open for public access, and shared with hikers. The rest of the way is not groomed, and gets gradually less maintained.
Up to the northern junction with the Tripyramid Loop Trail, Livermore Trail still feels like a forest road. Soon after that, there are water crossings, which fill in to various degrees during winter. After the junction with the Old Skidder Trail, Livermore Trail narrows to the width of an overgrown hiking trail.

I wanted to find a recipe that reminded me of a dish I ate a local restaurant once; before I became vegan. Luckily, this version is.
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 1 acorn squash, halved and seeded
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 sweet onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder, to taste
- nutmeg, to taste
- 1 1/2 cups arborio rice, uncooked (italian style)
- 1/2 cup dry sherry (optional)
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup water, heated
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped (for garnish)
- parsley (for garnish)
- 1Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- 2Place the acorn squash, cut side down on a well oiled baking sheet.
- 3Bake for about 30 minutes, or until 'fork' tender.
- 4Remove from the oven, and let cool for a few minutes.
- 5Scoop out the roasted squash from the skins and set aside.
- 6In a heavy saucepan, heat the olive oil on medium heat, and sauté the onion and garlic for 3 minutes.
- 7Add the curry, spices, and uncooked Arborio rice and stir well, until the rice is coated.

Do you like sunny and sandy beaches? Going to the beach this weekend? The car rental service is already picked and you start packing. Often it takes no more than 10 minutes to pack everything you have in your fridge to the beach bag. But it usually takes no more than an hour to understand that you were wrong. It’s so easy to fill your backpack with a skit of things you will rare use or will never use at all. The same is about food and beach snacks. Are you going to pack any fatty dish that suits your sweet tooth the most? After an hour or two under the hot sun you will be sorry for what you have done.
So, what kind of food is good for the beach holidays?
Dried fruits and nuts
Dried fruits and nuts can be the best combination for a healthy snack at the beach. The best thing here is that you can take whatever you like. If you adore fruits and seeds you can take them all. If you like salty nuts, you can add them to your snack bag too. This must be a perfect combination of proteins, carbos, and other nutritional chemicals that are healthy for your organism. If you don’t know what you like the most, you may take the nutty bars that contain different sorts of fruits, nuts and seeds mixed together. But don’t take chocolate in a hot day.
The best choice for your beach picnic is citrus, watermelon, berries, mango, and apricots. Why fruits? You should know that fruits contain phytochemicals that protect your skin from the harmful UV rays. Of course, it doesn’t mean that having fruits in your bag can protect you to the full. Don’t forget to take your sun blocking cream, hat to feel absolutely safe and happy. Anyway, fresh fruits are always the best snack at any season.
If you are still in trouble about what you like the most salty or sweet snacks, you can try this. Why don’t you take bananas with a peanut butter? It’s a kind of life hack for travelers. Bananas are full of vitamins B6 and C. Just add some butter to your banana and eat it with a piece of bread. You have enough energy to surf the ways all day long.
Vegetables are as good as fruits. You can take some slices of carrots, pepper, and broccoli with you for snack. Red and green vegetables are full of minerals and vitamins to keep your body strong and healthy. Also, they help to protect your skin and good in moisture treatment.
Don’t be surprised to read this name here. It’s a kind of beans that is rich in proteins and cellulose. It can be a perfect snack for a beach day. You may use frozen vegetables or cook it in the way you like.
It is always important to stay fresh and beautiful under the sun, especially for ladies. Don’t forget to drink enough water, it is much better than sodas and other modern energy drinks. If you want something special, you can add some cucumbers, citrus, or even herbs to your water. Still boring? There is a plain and simple solution – ice tea. You can make the tea at home, add something like lemon, aromatic fruits and berries. Ice tea can be rather pleasant and healthy drink at the beach. If you don’t have time for making your tea, you can buy it ready-to-use.
Of course, you can stay happy with having tea and fruits during the day. What if you feel a bit hungry? It is time to take something more substantial than nuts and fruits. Just pack some cheese or cheese paste, mini sandwiches, fruit yogurt, and juice to keep it cool till the lunch time when you are ready to take your food.
Are there special beach snacks you used to take while traveling? If so, you should check your list and add more healthy content. By the way, beach is not for eating. You can meet a lot of new interesting people here and make friends. It often happens that people live in a big city but feel lonely. They are always in a hurry, running from home to office. No time for living and making friends. Visiting beach is not only pleasure but a kind of special activity, favorable surrounding to feel happy, relaxed and healthy. Traveling with kids, healthy snacks in MUST HAVE option for you. They are active and full of energy. Your task is making your family members feel absolutely great! Anyway, there must be always something in your bag you can share with your new friends. Think about it!


Last week almost everyone (us included) succumbed to the all-consuming world of Brexit. Despite a draft withdrawal agreement being agreed, and multiple ministers resigning, the rest of the world continued to turn. Here are some important stories you may have missed in the last few days.
The Premier League’s Manchester derby headlines the weekend, where high-flying City welcome a somewhat resurgent United to the Etihad Stadium. British boxer Tony Bellew fights for the final time, England play the mighty All Blacks at Twickenham, while the Women’s T20 World Cup gets underway in the West Indies. And they are just the highlights.
It's the start of rugby union’s autumn internationals headline this weekend, closely followed by Arsenal v Liverpool in the Premier League. European Tour golf is reaching the business end of the season with lots of money up for grabs, while in rugby league England play New Zealand on Sunday.

ABC Radio (US) announces new podcast - Journeys Of Faith With Paula Faris
PRESS RELEASE — November 8, 2018
ABC Radio will launch a new podcast hosted by ABC News Senior National Correspondent Paula Faris, titled ‘Journeys of Faith with Paula Faris.’ The first three episodes will be released on Wednesday, November 14 and will feature interviews with Robin Roberts, co-anchor of ABC News’ ‘Good Morning America;’ Luke Bryan and Hillary Scott, country music superstars; and Ben Shapiro, political commentator and author. In each episode Faris sits down with some of the world’s most influential people for an intimate look at how they’ve used faith and spirituality to guide them through the best and worst of times.
"'Journeys of Faith' is an opportunity to listen and learn from one another - respecting that faith is the core and foundation for so many, yet no two faith journeys look alike," says Faris. "I hope listeners will be encouraged and inspired by these stories of what people believe and why."
The first season of ‘Journeys of Faith’ will feature ten episodes, posting every Wednesday. Episodes will be available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Spotify, Stitcher and the ABC News app.
“We are excited to welcome ‘Journeys of Faith’ as the newest addition to ABC Radio’s expanding podcast collection,” says Steve Jones, Vice President and General Manager, ABC Radio. “We love the passion that Paula brings to each interview and believe listeners will enjoy the illuminating discussions featured in each episode.”
The first three episodes feature interviews with:
Before she became the face of ABC News’ “Good Morning America” and made New York her home, Robin Roberts moved from city to city as she pursued her dreams. The one constant in all of those places? Church. Roberts also opens up about how her faith helped her step out of her comfort zone to pursue a career she never envisioned.
Luke Bryan and Hillary Scott:
Country superstars Luke Bryan and Hillary Scott are both up for some big prizes at the Country Music Awards this month. But their love for music isn’t the only thing they share. They’ve both relied on their faith to navigate the ups and downs of life.
Ben Shapiro is always on the move, whether it’s hosting his popular podcast, “The Ben Shapiro Show,” or overseeing the conservative publication “The Daily Wire.” Despite the pressures of a 24-hour news cycle, the political commentator still makes time for his faith.
Additional season one guests include Kellyanne Conway, Tim Tebow, Sam Harris, Reza Aslan, Marla Maples, Sherri Shepherd and Melissa Joan Hart.
Faris is Senior National Correspondent at ABC News. Previously, she was the co-anchor of ‘Good Morning America’s’ weekend edition, as well as a co-host of ABC’s ‘The View’. While at ABC News, the Emmy-Award winning journalist has reported on a wide-array of topics, from the 2018 Royal Wedding in Windsor, England, to the 90th Annual Academy Awards, the 2017 Inauguration of President Donald Trump, the World Cup in Brazil and the New England Patriots “Deflategate” scandal, as well as the Republican National Convention.

Maceo Parker's School's In! is a very likable disc with quite a bit going for it. The album has a conceptual base, but one that is pleasantly light and whimsical; the collection's ten tracks all revolve around themes of school and, whether they are Parker originals like "Basic Funk: 101" and "Advanced Funk" or appropriate classics like the Jackson Five's "ABC" and Sam Cooke's "What a Wonderful World." The sometimes lengthly funk workouts all come about their groove naturally, rather refreshing in this era of electronic beats. Nice to see somebody is still giving the drummer some in 2005. Which leads me to the real strength of the set: its leader, alto saxophonist Maceo Parker, who is in fine form on this recent recording.
Parker, of course, first came to prominence with James Brown and later Parliament/Funkadelic. Though he did some work on the side as far back as during his tenure with Brown in the early 70s, the last decade and a half have really seen Maceo Parker come into his own as a solo artist. While School's In! has a strong improvisational base, this date favors the kind of raw funk that made Maceo a household name rather than the bebop he sometimes records. Most of the tracks feature vocals--there's even a little rap from Maceo's son--and all of them should make you want to move your feet. Want the funk? Gotta have that funk? Here it is.

San Diego also rewards the visitor (and residents, I imagine) with its distinct districts. On our way through customs a notably friendly Italian official had recommended my partner and I try out Buon Appetito in Little Italy, as he dined there once a week with his wife.
As we looked for it an arched neon sign welcomed us into the "hood" lined with scenic shops and restaurants.
We feasted on linguine boscomare and tartufo, sat in the sun, toasting the unlikely official.
Neighbouring Little Italy is the Gaslamp Quarter, once a red-light district and home to the lawman Wyatt Earp, while the 16 once-squalid square blocks of Victoriana have been spruced up and are home to buzzing restaurants, shops and galleries. It's a poster-district for San Diego's regeneration, which as a border city - Tijuana is half an hour away - has been rough at times.
The newest hotel to open here is Andaz, taking up part of a block on F Street, just around the corner from a Salvation Army soup kitchen (there are homeless people on corners, bundles of belongings in supermarket trolleys by their side). By stark contrast, we were staying in this glamorous hotel. Formerly the Ivy, Andaz opened last year with a rooftop resort and pool, cabañas complete with plasma televisions and a firepit that by day, unlit, strangely resembled a giant bowl of cereal, with views across the city to the hazy mountains beyond.
The Andaz has slick service: one memorable breakfast of spinach omelette with fried potatoes, peppers and onions we didn't even realise was late was deemed too tardy by staff who removed it from the bill. Impressive. Other meals in the area were no less impressive. Run by blue-eyed celebrity chef Brian Malarkey, Searsucker opened less than a year ago to critical acclaim. The restaurant is decked out with salvaged chairs and art with a seasonal menu dividing dishes into sections such as "smalls", "ocean" and "farm". A selection arrived at our table brought by a friendly hit of home in the form of Liverpudlian waitress Lisette, who knew everything about each dish.
Smoky shrimp and bacon grits were a hit as was the short rib with Iron Fist Ale, the braised meat falling gently off the bone. Fried Brussels sprouts with walnuts was a novel idea if a tad too rich. And the place was lively, even on a
In San Diego I did things I don't normally do, such as take an organised tour. The Old Town Trolley tour allows you to see a lot of the city in a short time - you can get on and off as often as you like (they fill up quickly so at times we waited for two or three before we could get on). And John, our driver/guide, was interesting and witty.
We set off from the Gaslamp Quarter and over the soaring Coronado Bay Bridge (you can take the ferry) to the island of Coronado, the first seaside resort in the US.
Once a coyote-infested desert until 1886 when pipelines were built to pump water across the bay, Coronado is now a city in its own right.
Coronado is a little like being in The Truman Show: a clean, litter-free microcosm with wide, residential streets with every low-rise house (the only architectural law was no more than two storeys) seemingly bearing a Star Spangled Banner. Huge dunes in the sand even spell out "Coronado" on the beach - "In case you forget where you are," quipped John. L Frank Baum wrote the Wizard of Oz not far from the Hotel Del Coronado, a red turreted all-wooden hotel so whimsical that many speculate the author based the Emerald City on this destination (according to the hotel, he didn't).
We hopped off at Balboa Park, where 15 museums, the zoo and the Old Globe Theatre are harnessed together in 1,200 lush acres of culture.
Voluptuous Spanish colonial revival-style terracotta buildings and cooling gardens, including the ornate Alcazar Garden based on those of the Alcazar in Seville, provide scenic shade while museums include the Museum of Man and the Air & Space Museum.
After culture it was time for some more traditional Californian-style fun at La Jolla Shores, a wide sandy sweep on the Pacific for a stand-up paddleboarding lesson. A land lesson on safety and technique from instructor Izzie was followed by a splash out to sea kneeling towards the back of the board, paddling from side to side. I steeled myself to stand up quickly, spurred on by hearing that most don't make it up on the first lesson. That was it. My legs felt weak but my arms gripped the paddle and I ploughed on out to sea. "Awesome," enthused Izzie - and for once I didn't mind that all-American word.
On the way back to the hotel I felt exhilarated. Three hours later I awoke to a dark room having missed dinner.
Instead, the Marriott's 22nd-floor Altitude Sky Lounge, a couple of blocks away overlooking Petco Park - home to the San Diego Padres baseball team - was recommended as the place to sip a cocktail and people-watch.
Locals seem cheerfully resigned to the fact that the Padres rarely win - they lost 0-1 to the Dodgers that night. One fan smiled as he told us that he rarely leaves the city. I can understand why.

Multiple protests were held in the Senegalese capital on Wednesday night against the ongoing curfews which the government has imposed to stem the spread of the coronavirus.
The West African country declared a state of emergency in parts of the country where coronavirus infections have touched alarming peaks.
A daily night curfew enforced in the regions of Dakar and Thies starting Wednesday, President Macky Sall announced in a televised address.
Rallies were organized on Wednesday night against the decision in districts of the capital such as Niary Tally, Grand Yoff and Medina. The police used tear gas canisters to disperse them.
Riots ensued as protesters pelted stones and blocked streets.
They also attacked a police station in Pikine, a suburb of Dakar, local media reported.
Similar protests also took place in June 2020 and more than 70 people who were demanding an end to the curfew were arrested.
Dakar and Thies, two of Senegal’s 14 regions account for “more than 90% of the cases in the country,” according to the president.
Senegal’s case tally stands at 20,156, including 433 fatalities and 17,782 recoveries, according to latest Health Ministry data.

Hola families and friends,
We are reaching out with our last update, as this unforgettable trip has come to a close. The past two weeks have flown by, and we have enjoyed every minute we have spent getting to know this wonderful group of teens. We wanted to thank you all for sharing your children with us throughout our incredible journey throughout Peru. From rafting the beautiful Apurímac River, to working with the Rocoto community in the mountainous village, to trekking on the original Inca Trail, and finally reaching the breath-taking views of Machu Picchu, this group took full advantage of the endless beauty that constantly surrounded us. Our Machu Picchu family was a special group of kids, and we quickly became a tight knit family over the course of the past two weeks. The group has formed strong relationships that I am confident will last for many years, even beyond this summer. Each student brought something crucial and unique to our Moondance family, to create such a strong group dynamic.
Layton, being the seasoned veteran that she is, served as a natural leader and role model to her peers. Sara was a positive light for the group, and a joy to be around. McWilliams kept us laughing, as he loved to break out into dance at any given moment. Abby’s appreciation and wonder for the awe-inspiring views surrounding us was inspiring to all. Charlotte’s sweet character was apparent throughout our journey, and she was a welcoming friend to all. Myles provided endless stories and laughs that kept us entertained along the trails. Catherine faced each new opportunity with such enthusiasm and optimism, which was contagious to the group. Rhetta’s determination and strong work ethic was evident specifically during our time working with the Rocoto village, as she worked diligently to complete the projects.
Each of these students was a joy to be around and we all learned important lessons from one another. We feel very fortunate to have shared these opportunities alongside them in Peru. We wanted to thank you all again for sharing your adventurous, fun loving, intelligent, and caring kids with us! It has been a pleasure getting to learn and grow alongside your kids, they all have something special to offer to the group, which made this the trip of a lifetime!

Greetings from Machu Picchu!
Beginning our day at sunrise with a view of the clouds swirling around the gargantuan snow-covered peaks of Salkantay Mountain, the adventurer in each of us was giddy with excitement and anticipation for our first day of the trek! We set out along green fields, a babbling brook, and began the climb with the valley of Soraypampa growing small behind us. We trekked higher along fields of boulders and grassy slopes, gaining impressive heights in record-time, reaching our spot for lunch! Feeling reinvigorated by our meal of soup, pasta salad, and avocado in the shadow of impressive mountains, we once again set out along the trail under a dusting of light snow. Not many folks can brag of a snowball fight in July, can they? Well we can! Constantly entertained and laughing due to Myles’ singing and joking, we continued on to the right side of the Salkantay, the infamous Mountain, soaring over 20,000 feet into the clouds. It is one of two major sites of importance for the Incan civilization as an Apu, or god. Reaching the pass, we were able to see close up angles of the infamous mountain through breaks in the clouds. Led by Sara for the last push, we all made it to the Inca Chirasca Pass, meaning the King’s Cold Pass in Incan Quechua, and reveled in our impressive feat of gaining four thousand feet in elevation in just a few hours of trekking! With the sun finally bursting through the clouds as we reached that windy pass, we feasted on Peruvian candy bars, built cairns with rocks, and performed a small ceremony to Pachamama, or Mother Earth. With the achievement fresh, we began to hike down the other side of the peaks and made our way through a variety of landscapes, from grey and black rocks covered in snow to grasses in every imaginable shade of green. Reaching our camp, nestled in the valley surrounded by the beautiful mountains, we ate our dinner of trout, Yucca, and veggies as Charlotte kept the positivity and energy high! After pointing out constellations and the Milky Way out to each other, we lay down in our tents to have the deep and well-deserved sleep of accomplished mountaineers.
Awaking the next morning to a delicious breakfast of peaches and pancakes topped with dulce de leche and Nutella, we set out excitedly for our second day of the trek! With constant conversation and laughter, we continued to make our way down from the Salkantay into the cloud forests of the Andes, stopping to listen for rare birds and to take in the small villages lining the trail. Turning onto another ancient Incan trail, we stopped for a delicious lunch of fried chicken and quinoa along a stream leading down to the Urubamba River, the same one which loops its way around Machu Picchu, our final destination! After a few more hours of light and fun hiking, we explored the ruins of an old Incan citadel under the leadership of our new resident expert on ruins, Rhetta! In the shadows of this ancient ruin, we found our camp and enjoyed tea, music, conversation, and each other’s company around a warm fire! Feasting on the traditional stir fry of Peru, lomo saltado, potatoes, and a delicious cake, we ended the night with good food in our bellies, laughter on our tongues, and smelling of camp fire!
The next morning we awoke to the sun shining and a delicious breakfast of fruit salad, cereal, yogurt, and sweet Peruvian bread. We trekked for several hours descending into a bright green landscape of open plains scattered with forest green trees. We shared laughs and great conversations on the trail as we approached our next destination. Once arriving to the kilometer 82 marker, we stopped for lunch at a small, cozy house that was surrounded by the towering Andes Mountains. We enjoyed grilled chicken, curry and rice, and veggies for our last meal cooked by our amazing chefs. After saying a big thanks to our chefs, we made our way by van to Ollantaytambo! Our outfitter, Pepe, played us his favorite Peruvian pop music as we danced along and took in the incredible views passing by out the window. We took the afternoon to get some well-deserved rest and take hot showers! The evening was spent exploring the streets of Ollantaytambo, and stopping at a local pizza place for dinner. Abby used her excellent Spanish skills to help everyone order their food, we were all very impressed! After stopping for ice cream on the way back to our quaint hotel, we quickly fell asleep so that we could be rested for our next big hike- the Inca Trail!
Taking the train from the old Incan town of Ollantaytambo, we set out to begin our day on the world famous Inca Trail! One of the few groups allowed on the trail each day, we began to ascend through the cloud forests with the rushing blue-green waters of the Urubamba River thousands of feet below us. With blue skies and pleasant breezes, we hiked under old growth trees and through the refreshing mists of waterfalls, resting for snacks and photo-ops on Incan terraces and archaeological sites. Following the trail as it traverses the sides of lush mountains and granite cliffs, we could feel ourselves closing in towards our destination, Machu Picchu! The final push, valiantly led by Catherine, included us all gracefully ascending a set of steep stairs (even if it was on our hands and knees) and we emerged at the Sun Gate to the ruins, overlooking the breath-taking mountains and the site itself! Taking the bus down, we arrived in the small town of Aguas Calientes, and after some well deserved hot showers, we set out to shop in the extensive markets intersecting the town, coming away with colorful clothes and meaningful mementos. Finishing the evening with an especially delicious dinner of classic Peruvian cuisine while parades full of people in traditional dress marched by the windows, we went to sleep excited to spend the next day exploring the ruins!
Waking up early to beat the crowds, we set out this morning pumped up to explore the antique citadel and town of Machu Picchu! Yale professor and explorer Hiram Bingham III, brought the site to the world’s attention in 1911, beginning the interest and fascination which has always been showered upon the location. Machu Picchu’s history and function in the Incan empire has been shrouded in mystery and speculation, only adding to the beauty and exoticism of such a location. What is obvious to all who have been fortunate enough to visit though is that Incan ruins are so spectacular as to be declared the seventh wonder of the world twelve years ago. Entering, we made our way to the Inca Bridge. We followed the original Incan trails, which were carved into the side of the mountain, to visit the Inca Bridge that served as protection of the western entrance to Machu Picchu. Next, we made our way through the remnants of the town itself, which was nestled between the breath-taking Andes Mountains. Everyone shared their amazement of how exactly the Incas built this complex town, located on this mountainside almost 8,000 feet high. It was the perfect way to spend our last full day together, we explored the breath-taking ruins with smiles on our faces and asked thought-provoking questions as we were guided through the urban sector of the town. Our outfitter, Willie, served as our tour guide and shared insightful knowledge with us. We listened intently as we learned more about the history of the Incas, their accomplishments, and this sublime settlement that they constructed. After soaking in the beauty of Machu Picchu, we traveled down the Hiram Bingham Highway towards the town of Aguas Calientes, where we gathered together for a buffet feast fit for kings. On our train ride from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo, we were able to enjoy more beautiful Peruvian landscape, with the snow-capped Andes Mountains towering above us. We were surprised by a fashion show put on by the employees aboard the Peru Rail train, they wore authentic Alpaca sweaters and showed them off down the train aisles, as traditional Peruvian music was blasting from the speakers. McWilliams and Layton quickly decided they wanted to partake in the fashion show, so they took it upon themselves to ask if they could participate, and they did! We all burst into laughter as they both strut down the train aisle, wearing the Alpaca sweaters. Once arriving to Ollantaytambo, we hopped on a van that took us to our final destination. We listened to throw back music and had a dance party on our ride back to Cusco! That night we explored the town and settled at our favorite local pizza restaurant, chowing down on delicious pizza and finished the meal off with desert pizza. After our last Moonup, which was especially meaningful, we got to sleep, as we were excited to hit the town markets tomorrow morning!
We have loved getting to know these kids, they are a special group, and we are very thankful to have spent the last two weeks with them!

We began our next adventure, white water rafting on the infamous Apurímac River, or “mouth of God”, which is one of the main sources of the Amazon River and one of the Top 5 rivers to raft in the world! Our community service portion closed with sad goodbyes and thankful hearts from the village, as we all gathered together with the locals in the classroom that we finished off. Following the service portion, we were able to hike down from the mountainous village to our river put in on the Apurimac River. We enjoyed Andean countryside views, which offered several waterfalls and many deep green trees, as we descended to the river. A few hours after our breathtaking hike, we arrived to meet our rafting guides!
We were welcomed by a delicious riverside lunch, prepared by our awesome guides, Alvaro, Rafael, Alberto, and Reuben. After we suited up into our wetsuits, jackets, life jackets, and helmets, we grabbed our paddles and listened closely to our safety briefing. We could not wait to jump into the refreshing water! We divided into our two rafting boats, led by Pepe and Alvaro, and made our way down the river. We quickly came up with our boat names- the Howling Monkeys were led by Pepe and the Purple Pigs were led by Alvaro. Today we warmed up to the Apurimac and enjoyed an easy, relaxing day on the river for several hours. Once arriving to our beach home for the night, we set up tents, gathered for tea time (a Peruvian tradition we have happily adapted), and played endless card games. Abby and Layton proved to be the Egyptian Rat-slap experts, and no one was skilled enough to beat them. After a yummy dinner of quinoa soup, homemade red sauce and pasta, and lemon pound cake for dessert, we enjoyed good conversations with good company at our beautiful new home for the night! Catherine noticed the moon rising in the distance and we all stopped for a moment to soak in this beauty- she exclaimed that she had never seen the moon rise and that it was one of the prettiest things she had experienced! Later that night we shared with each other what movie character we would be given the choice. Charlotte opted to show us several Disney character impressions, which had us all laughing. Following a particularly lighthearted and funny Moonup, we settled into our tents and fell asleep to the river water noise.
We awoke the next morning greeted with a breakfast fit for kings, of tea, eggs and toast, cereal, fruit, yogurt, and oatmeal. With full bellies and positive energy, we began our first full day of rafting! Before rafting, we all said “Good Morning Apurimac” as a rafting tradition to show thanks and respect to the important river. With the sun shining and the fresh air, it was a perfect start to our rafting adventure! We played river games, one of our favorites being raft wars, where we tried to pull off everyone on the opposite boat and get them into the water. For some of the day, Myles served as our boat’s captain and our guide taught him how to use the oars to steer us through the rapids (he was a natural river guide!). Later in the morning, we rafted down several Class IV rapids, some of which being Tres Cóndores, Las Escaleras, and Otra Derecha. The group rafted down the rapids with ease like the seasoned veterans that they are. We stopped for a well-deserved lunch of sandwiches, burgers, chips, and freshly cut pineapple. Once we continued along the river, we witnessed a lot of wildlife close by- Andean gulls, otters, Swift birds, and Torrent ducks with their chicks. We constantly looked up to take in the incredible views of the deep canyons and lush green mountains that were scattered with cacti and agave plants. Our knowledgeable rafting guides told us interesting stories and shared their knowledge about the surrounding environment with us while we took in all the different Peruvian landscapes. We have loved seeing this group come closer and closer together as the days pass by; they are all so much fun to be around and have made this rafting experience an unforgettable one! After a day of hard work paddling on the river, we docked our boats at our next riverside campsite, which was a wide open, beautiful beach. We all participated in games that one of our guides, Willie, taught us and they supplied endless laughs and entertainment. That night we chowed down on a warm dinner of vegetable soup, curry and rice, and marble cake to satisfy our sweet teeth. After star gazing from the deep canyons, we went to sleep to the peaceful sound of the river.
We are all sad it is our last day of rafting, but we woke up pumped to hit the river for another great day! The morning started out with a breakfast feast, just like yesterdays. After we were full and satisfied, we began gearing up and getting our rafts ready. Our day started off with a hike up to a beautiful waterfall, flowing from about 50 feet above us. We climbed up to the huge waterfall that sat nestled between the towering canyons, and immediately ran underneath the waterfall to see who could stand under the chilling water the longest. Sara was one of the last ones standing under the waterfall, and she really appreciated the breathtaking waterfall views we experienced together! Shortly after, we got back to rafting and enjoyed the last few rapids together. We “surfed” one of the rapids, meaning we paddled towards a rapid until we submerged the front of the boat into the water. Rhetta was quick to volunteer as the first person to sit at the front of the boat while we surfed; afterwards she exclaimed “that is the best thing I’ve ever done in my life!” As we continued on down the river, McWilliams kept us constantly laughing, while simultaneously rafting like a seasoned veteran. Our next stop was cliff jumping off of a 30-foot rock that towered above the deep river water. A lot of the students opted to participate in the cliff jumping and they emerged from the water with huge smiles on their faces! When we reached our takeout spot, many of the kids were sad that our rafting trip had come to an end. It was a very memorable few days on the Apurimac! Once we packed up, we drove up switch backs to get to our postcard worthy lunch spot, which overlooked the Andean mountains and valleys. We enjoyed a great lunch surrounded by an awe-inspiring panoramic view.
Everyone has really loved our rafting adventure over the past few days and is looking forward to beginning the Salkantay trek tomorrow! We have loved getting the opportunity to know each of your kids and can’t wait to experience the next adventure with them!

Hola Families and Friends!
We have just completed our first section of the trip, service in the scenic village of Rocoto! The whole group has been enjoying the views, culture, and cuisine of Peru while working hard at the local primary school here. Our day on Friday consisted mostly of travel from Lima to Cusco (with a tour of the main plaza and a chance to sample some delicious traditional food), and finally to our home for service in Rocoto! We arrived here as the gorgeous sunset spread out across the rocky mountains to our West. After settling in and enjoying a delicious meal of local trout, vegetables, and mashed potatoes, we began our first Moonup of the session under the bright stars of the Milky Way, visible due to the absence of harsh light pollution. Moonup is a daily circle to reflect on the day, share quotes, and debrief on our activities. Our first Leaders of the Day (LODs), Myles and Layton, took on the role with the confidence of seasoned veterans and the excitement of the beginning of a new trip!
The next morning we began our service ready to work after a delicious breakfast of oatmeal, French toast, eggs, and bacon! At the village’s elementary school, a cheerful yellow and red compound with a soccer field flanked by classrooms, we went about our first project of clearing out an old classroom that had been piled with storage for desks, chairs, tables, and books. Under the lead of Rhetta, we took all of the furniture out and cleaned the room before beginning to build three large bookshelves to hold all of the books which had previously been stacked along the floor. With Catherine’s new found expertise with a power drill and everyone’s hard work we finished the construction work in no time and feasted on a lunch of veggies, chicken, and avocado. In the evening, we played a great soccer game with the local school children, each player laughing, grinning, and having a blast. Abby and McWilliams’ skills on the field and with the soccer ball made them quite the celebrities with the students! We closed the evening with a dinner of soup, beef, rice, and vegetables before a meaningful Moonup on the topic of the importance of service.
We awoke in the morning to the sun peaking over the surrounding mountains and excited for the new day. After enjoying some pancakes, toast, and plantains we set about working on our next project! The goal of the day was to clear patches of overgrown dirt and weeds and to plant a new garden, helping the school become more self-sufficient and sustainable by having their own vegetables growing. With the help of the local students, we all cleared the weeds, put down fertile soil, raked, and planted all kinds of good stuff, from tomatoes and squash to oregano and zucchini! As the LOD, Charlotte helped lead us in sprinkling the seeds throughout the garden. With these sustainable and engaging projects, worked on side by side with Moondance and the Peruvian elementary school students, the sense of accomplishment and enjoyment knew no nationality as all involved were able to see the tangible progress which they had all worked so hard on. After some delicious sandwiches and fresh guacamole, we had the afternoon to play games with the local children and each other, where Sara used her Spanish skills over card games and soccer matches. Before dinner we packed for our next big adventure: rafting on the beautiful and famous Apurimac River! We all lay down to sleep, excited for our next adventure on the river and ready for the gorgeous scenery Peru offers us every day!
Til next time,
Jed and Brooks

Just so you guys know, I'm not dead XD
It's just that with finals, summer school starting, my part-time job starting, my friends getting in a bad car accident, I broke a toe...life gets complicated.
Ballet is on hold for summer due to my summer school. My day is 7AM to 9PM with work and classes so there's no time for ballet right now. I do hope to start again in the fall, but I might not be able to because of work, but that's just going to have to be a sacrifice I'll have to make for college.
The recital went great! I didn't get stage fright on the recital, but I did get really nervous during the dress rehearsal. Right before the recital I hoped over an ottoman and fractured my pinky toe. I decided to dance on it anyway even though it really hurt.
Here is the video that someone took of our performance. I am the last person to enter on the left side of the screen:

Eco-fuel will be used in cement production in Bashkiria
UFA, 15 April 2019. /Bashinform News Agency, Galina Bakhshieva/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/.
Environmentally friendly fuel will be used in the production of cement in the republic.
The Ministry of Industry and Innovation Policy of Bashkiria has concluded a cooperation agreement with HeidelbergCement Rus LLC and the regional operator Eco-city. The parties agreed to develop long-term and effective cooperation in the development and implementation of RDF fuels.
The use of alternative RDF fuel instead of coal, oil, gas reduces carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. Accordingly, the burning of such fuel in cement kilns has a lower impact on the environment, Olesya Arameleva, a spokeswoman for the “Eco City” regional operator, explained.
The agreement is another step in the creation of the first ecological technology park in Bashkiria for processing industrial and solid municipal waste. At the moment, a cluster of residents and industrial partners of the future environmental technology park is being formed in the region.

Kenyan celebrities who made millions of shillings but ended up broke
They are known to have lived their lives on the fast lane at the peak of their careers as they made millions of shillings.
However, they later hit the headlines after all the money and fortune they made slipped through their fingers.
The Kenyan showbiz industry has had its fair share of celebrities who made millions of shillings only to end up broke.
Nairobi News takes a look at some of these celebs who are known to have made it in life before falling on hard times.
Dennis Oliech – In 2021, the image of a seemingly distressed former Harambee Stars skipper Dennis Oliech made rounds on social media.
Oliech, a celebrated Kenyan footballer, had spent the most productive years of his career plying his trade in the French top division.
Now word had it that he had gone broke and was leading a humble life in his childhood neighbourhood of Dagoreti Corner in Nairobi County.

Days later, Oliech said things had become hard for him after he spent Sh124 million to treat his late mother Ms Mary Auma.
He also said that he had spent a lot of money seeking treatment for his brother Kevin Oliech, who succumbed to cancer in August 2020.
At the time, the celebrated footballer was reported to have already sold most of his properties and a project which he had started for his mother had stalled.
At the prime of his career, Oliech was known for his love for partying with fellow celebrities and driving around town in top of the range cars.
Colonel Mustafa – A week ago, a viral video of the musician made rounds on social media capturing him working at a construction site.
The video became a trending topic online as many of his fans struggled to come to terms with the once celebrated artiste’s predicament.
The musician has since said his current situation is a result of lack of funds for the treatment of his mother who is suffering from cancer.
Born in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, Colonel Mustafa was raised in a multicultural household, with a Kenyan father, Mr Germa Mustafa and a Tanzanian mother, Fatma.
Colonel Mustafa’s passion for music manifested early in life and during his high school days, he frequently performed at jam sessions at Florida 2000 nightclub.
He later formed the boy group Deux Vultures with his childhood friend Nasty Thomas, releasing a number of big hits, among them Katika.
In 2003, Colonel Mustafa joined Ogopa Deejays, a renowned music production and record label company and his career soared.
Magix Enga – The music producer, who is known for the many hit songs which he produced, can be described as very talented.
However, very little is heard from him these days unlike in the past. He has already admitted that he is battling depression and that most of his friends disappeared when his fortunes ran out.
The producer also claimed that most of the people he assisted produce songs for never paid him despite them flying high and making millions of shillings from the songs.
Recently, he claimed that he had joined illuminati and that is why many musicians and brands have shunned him. The music producer is yet to get any help so far.
Omosh – Sometime in 2020 the actor hit the headlines when he came out to publicly state that he had fallen on hard times.
The former Tahidi High actor was lucky as many Kenyans came out to assist him financially. Among the things he got from well-wishers was a three-bedroom house in Malaa.
However, after being assisted the first time, the actor came out yet again seeking for more help.
It later emerged that Omosh was a well-paid actor who only got into trouble after mismanaging his finances.

Hi All. I'm in the middle of planning a round the world trip, and I'm just trying to get a feel for the weather. I intend to arrive in Rio from New Zealand in time for Carnival next year, and then head south to Patagonia before heading back up through Chile and Argentina. In my current plan I'd reach Ushuaia in mid-March, and then I wanted to head up to Peurto Natales and end up in Torres Del Paine for a bit of hiking and then catch the ferry to head up the coast. Thing is, is late March too late in the year? I don't mind a bit of rain (I'm English ) but if its likely to be so bad I don't see anything, is it worth getting down there straight after Carnival (late Feb) to have a better chance with the weather?
[ Edit: Edited at Jul 6, 2006 3:15 AM by Hookey ]
March is all right-ish, although february or december would be better. You'll still have plenty of clear skies, I think; only I'm not sure if the ferry to Pto Montt is going in march...
have fun; and consider making a stop in El Chaltén for wonderful hiking in the Fitz Roy range. Amazing landscape.
I was in Patagonia in April this year and it wasnt too bad. In fact, this is a really nice time to visit Tierra del Fuego and Ushuaia because the foliage has just turned brilliant red and orange. It's cold but not too cold....put it this way, i didnt need my thermals, just a warm jacket.
I think March might be quite a good time also due to the fact that most of the tourists are gone. Only thing to watch out for is that a lot of tours and services start to wind down towards the end of the summer, and you can sometimes get stuck in a place longer than you'd planned waiting for a bus or flight.
Hope that helps!
Good luck with the planning
I was in Ushuhaia in March 2002, and our water bottle froze over the night while camping. I Was quite cold in ush and Torres del Paine as well.
Make sure you get to el chalten (one horse town)it´s beautiful and the fitz Roy is amazing.
