Are you dreaming of a sun-kissed glow that will make heads turn? Having a tan not only enhances your appearance but also boosts your confidence. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the science behind tanning, provide tips for safe sun tanning, discuss indoor tanning options, and explore natural alternatives. So, get ready to discover the secrets of achieving a perfect tan!
Understanding the Science of Tanning
How tanning occurs in the skin
Tanning is a natural process that occurs when our skin is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. When UV rays penetrate the skin, they stimulate the production of melanin, a pigment responsible for the color of our skin. This increase in melanin darkens the skin, resulting in a tan.
Role of melanin in the tanning process
Melanin plays a crucial role in protecting our skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation. It acts as a shield, absorbing and dispersing the UV rays, reducing the risk of sunburn and DNA damage. The more melanin your skin produces, the darker your tan will be.
Factors affecting the tanning process
Several factors can influence the tanning process. Skin type, genetic predisposition, and the amount of melanin present in your skin all play a role. Additionally, the intensity and duration of sun exposure, as well as the geographical location, can affect the speed and depth of your tan.
Sun Tanning Tips
Choosing the right sunscreen
Before heading out into the sun, it’s crucial to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Selecting the right sunscreen is essential. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF (Sun Protection Factor) to shield your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. Apply it generously and reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
Optimal time for sun exposure
Timing is key when it comes to sun tanning. The best time to expose your skin to the sun’s rays is during the early morning or late afternoon when the UV index is lower. This reduces the risk of sunburn while still allowing your skin to absorb the necessary UV radiation for tanning.
Recommended duration for sunbathing
Moderation is key when it comes to sunbathing. Start with short sessions, gradually increasing the duration over time. Aim for about 10-30 minutes of sun exposure per day, depending on your skin type and sensitivity to the sun. Remember to take breaks in the shade to give your skin a rest.
Protective measures during sun exposure
To ensure a safe and effective tanning experience, take additional protective measures. Wear protective clothing, such as hats, sunglasses, and lightweight, loose-fitting garments that cover your skin. Seek shade whenever possible and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
Indoor Tanning Options
Overview of indoor tanning methods
If you prefer a controlled environment for tanning or lack access to natural sunlight, indoor tanning is a viable option. There are two primary methods: tanning beds and spray tanning. Tanning beds emit UV radiation similar to the sun, while spray tanning involves applying a tanning solution to the skin.
Benefits and risks of indoor tanning
Indoor tanning offers the advantage of controlled exposure, allowing you to achieve a tan even during colder months. However, it’s important to be aware of the risks associated with excessive indoor tanning. Overexposure to UV radiation from tanning beds can increase the risk of skin cancer and premature aging.
Choosing the right tanning salon
If you decide to try indoor tanning, choosing a reputable tanning salon is crucial. Look for salons that prioritize cleanliness and hygiene, provide well-maintained tanning equipment, and have knowledgeable staff who can guide you through the process. Read reviews and ask for recommendations to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
Precautions to take during indoor tanning
To minimize the risks associated with indoor tanning, take necessary precautions. Start with shorter sessions and gradually increase the duration to avoid overexposure. Wear protective eyewear to shield your eyes from UV radiation, and follow the instructions provided by the salon to ensure proper use of the tanning equipment.
Natural Alternatives for Tanning
Self-tanning products and their benefits
If you prefer to avoid UV radiation altogether, self-tanning products are a fantastic alternative. These products contain ingredients that react with the top layer of your skin, resulting in a temporary tan. Self-tanners offer a safe and convenient way to achieve a tan without sun exposure, and they come in various forms, including lotions, sprays, and mousses.
DIY tanning remedies using natural ingredients
If you enjoy a more natural approach, there are DIY tanning remedies using common household ingredients. For example, using a combination of coffee grounds, cocoa powder, and coconut oil can create a natural self-tanner. These homemade remedies can provide a subtle tan and are a fun way to experiment with different ingredients.
Preparing your skin for natural tanning methods
To ensure the best results with self-tanners or DIY tanning remedies, proper skin preparation is essential. Exfoliate your skin before applying any tanning product to remove dead skin cells and create a smooth canvas for an even tan. Moisturize your skin regularly to maintain its hydration, which can prolong the lifespan of your tan.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Is tanning safe for all skin types?
Tanning can be safe for all skin types if done responsibly. However, individuals with fair or sensitive skin are more susceptible to sunburn and should take extra precautions such as using higher SPF sunscreen and limiting sun exposure.
How long does it take to get a tan?
The time it takes to achieve a tan can vary depending on various factors, including skin type, sun intensity, and duration of exposure. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks of consistent sun exposure to develop a noticeable tan.
Can I get a tan without sun exposure?
Yes, it is possible to get a tan without sun exposure. Self-tanning products and spray tanning offer a safe and effective way to achieve a tan without exposing your skin to UV radiation.
Are self-tanning products harmful?
Self-tanning products are generally considered safe when used as directed. However, it’s essential to perform a patch test before applying them to your entire body to check for any potential adverse reactions. Additionally, avoid ingesting or inhaling the product and take precautions to prevent staining clothing or surfaces.
What should I do if I get sunburned while tanning?
If you experience sunburn while tanning, it’s important to take immediate action to soothe your skin. Apply aloe vera gel or a cooling lotion to alleviate discomfort and reduce inflammation. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary. Avoid further sun exposure until your sunburn has healed.
Achieving a sun-kissed glow doesn’t have to be a challenge. By understanding the science of tanning, following sun tanning tips, exploring indoor tanning options, or embracing natural alternatives, you can achieve the tan you desire while prioritizing your skin’s health. Remember to always protect your skin from harmful UV radiation and take necessary precautions to ensure a safe and enjoyable tanning experience. So, get out there and embrace the beauty of a healthy tan!

Margin pressure on European asset management firms is not necessarily resulting in cost-cutting, but rather a focus on more profitable clients, according to research conducted for the latest edition of The Cerulli Edge – Global Edition, published by the research and consultancy firm.
There is also a trend towards focusing on higher margin asset classes, the research suggests.
Barbara Wall, Europe managing director, said: “When we asked what they will be doing to protect profitability through the reminder of 2017 and next year, four in five of the managers Cerulli surveyed told us that they will be paying greater attention to client segments with higher profit margins.”
Some two-thirds of respondents to the poll underlying the findings, said they plan to focus on asset classes such as alternatives to boost margins, with 53% looking to reduce operational costs to protect margins.
Regulation is one key driver of margin squeeze, the research indicates, with focus on fees manager charge for distribution, advice and management. Meanwhile, the popularity of low cost passive investing is being felt by traditionally higher cost business models. Means to lower industry costs include more use of data analytics and artificial intelligence. Distribution, research and product launches could be improved from an efficiency point of view, while innovation could also help boost profits, Cerulli suggests.
But Wall warns: “When considering whether to prioritise the protection of existing revenue streams over the exploration of potential new sources of revenue, firms should remember that keeping or enhancing what they already have is always going to be cheaper and easier than hunting down or creating something new.”
That said, Cerulli also believes that active management firms in Europe will look to offer passive investments, to at least be seen to be in the market with a “complete offering”; but many firms will still be guided by the ability to outperform using active strategies, which can attract bigger fees.
“Active firms that resist the temptation to join the passive revolution may yet be vindicated,” Cerulli’s research suggests.

The semester is over, and with it, our final blog entry. The creative habit at first seemed to be a little difficult. Having the motivation to do the same task every day isn’t easy to get started, but once you do, it gets pretty easy. My writing prompts went from simple taglines into fleshed out synopses, all the way to full narratives. It became much easier to write and alongside the ability to write, the abiliy to let my mind wander and create ideas.
Art by Zdzislaw Beskinski
Over the past handful of weeks, I’ve pulled from several inspirations. One of which is the dark, dreamlike artwork of Polish artist Zdzislaw Beksinski. His nightmarish, surreal landscapes help promote creativity and imagination and it creates a unique aesthetic for the stories I like to tell.
Alongside the art, I also listened to music.
Two bands I have discovered recently are the dark-folk band Worm Ouroboros and the ambient doom metal band SubRosa. I’ve been listening to their albums lately, and its unlike anything I’ve ever heard before. The music sounds almost other worldly, which helps me get into the mindset and create stories.
The following are brief synopses or stories I wrote. The synopses I chose are my favorite out of the handful of stories I have written.
A man is caught in a nuclear explosion and is granted immortality. As he starts to become adventurous and try new things, he slowly realizes that he can never die, and everything else will outlive him. He searches for a cure as long as he can, but eventually witnesses the end of mankind and the destruction of Earth. He travels through space endlessly and lands on dead worlds, waiting for them to be destroyed or somehow tries to find a way off. After doing this forever, the story ends with the now frail and weak man witnessing what he believes is the end of the universe.
A monstrous, world devouring wyrm drifting through space is spotted by a galactic military force. After viewing what the wyrm can do to a thriving planet in a few years, the military decide to trap it and kill it. A the wyrm races toward several capital worlds that control their sector of the galaxy. The military then sets up traps on several planets that the wyrm falls for. After many years of wounding and starving the beast, it finally dies on a dead planet as the last of its species.
A mage is lured to the fifth dimension by a strange being she believes is trying to help her. She flies through time and space at alarming speeds unsure of what’s happening around her. The being then shows her the destruction of her reality if she doesn’t stop a monster from the fifth dimension in time. Not even grasping the concept of how things work in the fifth dimension, she tries her hardest to fight the monster back. She fails at opening a portal to send the monster away, but the failed portal ends up sending the monster between dimensions in an endless sea of nothingness for all eternity. After finding she is too weak to return to her realm, the mage remains in the fifth dimension, but continues to watch over her realm as an omnipotent protector.
Writing every day, or almost every day has not only helped with my creativity, but my ideas of how to tell a story. It helps me formulate my thoughts and think of cause and effect rationally, as well as how the world actually works.

Dinner Near the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland?
I am taking my son and his friend (14 year old NY kids) on a pilgramage to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the end of March. I hear that there is an up and coming restaurant scene in Cleveland - we are staying at the Marriott Downtown at Key Center, and not renting a car so would like a restuarant within a cab ride that would be appropriate for all - the kids are very sophisticated, but dont want a three star, three hour dinner type place. No chains please. Thanks!
since you described the kids as NYC 'sophisticated' I am concerned about many of the recs above with the exceptions of Stuarts. I think they may like Lolita (Lolas less fancy little sis in tremont-5 min cab) http://www.lolabistro.com/. both menus posted. I can always recommend the Flying fig and Paralaxx, but maybe teens could get little bored with the slightly less buzz in atmosphere.I have not eaten at Light Bistro yet, but that should be great. Also concider Momocho in ohio city (5 min cab). I have mixed feelings about the place-kind of a love it or think it is ok kind of place (but it is nevertheless popular) Fahrenheit is sure to please. And yes, Luckys is my favorite brunch in town (Just went this a.m. in fact). FYI to Lucky's fans -the ever slightly changing menu was really shaken up today!
yeah, along those lines there is a HOUSE OF BLUES across from CORNER ALLEY on e4th st and an ALICE COOPERSTOWN too. if the op specificially wants a look at the local food scene they could check out LOLA, also on on e4th near euclid.
however, from key tower i'd say a stroll in the warehouse district would be the easiest bet. lots of restaurants around there to choose from.
you know its really too bad the rock hall is so isolated down by the waterfront. good news is they are planning on neighborhood development around there. someday!
Stuart's suggestions are good, though I don't know anything about Lucky's. If you are staying at the Marriott, there is a lot of stuff within a 10 min cab ride. I second the nod for Siam Cafe for awesome Chinese--I have not been thrilled with the non-Chinese offerings, but the menu is probably 95% Chinese, so no worries. It is at 40th and St. Clair.
For downtown pub fun, I'd recommend The Winking Lizard over Harry Buffalo. The Lizard is a local chain with above-average bar food and lots of other fun. Near Jacobs Field.
In Ohio City (which is 5 min from downtown), Great Lakes Brewing is fun. I haven't eaten there in a while, and I've heard some iffy stuff on the new chef. But the beer is AWESOME. My personal favorite is Edmund Fitzgerald porter. Also in Ohio City, I'd recommend Flying Fig (upscale), or Pnomh Penh (on W. 25th). Excellent Cambodian food. For "mod mex," Momocho isn't far and is wonderful.
Have fun! I never get bored of the Rock Hall, and I've probably been 20 times. (It's what every first-time Cleveland visitor wants to do, so we always take guests. It's great!)
Just got back from Cleveland with kids. Both restaurants I will tell you about are close to your hotel. Went to a Cavs game and ate before at Harry Buffalo. Kind of a road house with good wings and local beer. Very lively and the kids enjoyed it. Interesting wing sauces like mango barbeque and tangy orange. The next night we ate at The Corner Alley. It is billed as a restauant/martini bar attached to a bowling alley. It was recommended to me on this board. We tried to get in after the Cavs game but kids aren't allowed in after 9 pm. Went back earlier the next night and had a great time. They have a pizza oven and the pizza was good. Hubby had a steak, I had pasta - both okay. One kid had fish and chips in Guiness batter - very good. The bowling part is quite separate in case you don't want a noisy dining experience. I ordered a martini called "blue balls" and it was gigantic. It was served in a draft glass! The Rock Hall was awesome and the kids loved it.
edit:Lucky's serves brunch on the weekend not during the week.
Siam Cafe is a great restaurant that offers Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai food. It's 1.9mi/6min from the Marriott.
Lucky's is 2.4mi/7min from the Marriott. If you'll be here on a weekend morning, I recommend the brunch.
Are you specifically looking for representatives of our resurgent food scene? These wouldn't qualify. They're not new. They're not innovative; they just have good food. And they're not the sort of restaurant that attracts regional or national attention. For that, I would consider Light Bistro. It replaced Parker's (*sob*) and I've seen several very good reviews. It's only been open a couple weeks but the chef did very well at a different restaurant. 1.5mi/5mins.
That area (Ohio City) has a diverse group of restaurants. Middle Eastern, Puerto Rican, Cambodian... For market driven contemporary American consider Flying Fig. Great Lakes Brewing tries to combine an ecological conscience and good food with their award winning beers. Nearby is another good restaurant destination neighborhood: Tremont. They also have a good mix of restaurants: Thai, Latin, lots of contemporary American. A chef (cook?) at Fahrenheit (1.9mi/7min) has a mouthwatering blog:
I've eaten at most of these restaurants but not often enough to vouch for most of them. Personally, I recommend Lucky's and Siam Cafe. Hopefully, before you come I'll be able to add Light Bistro to that list. I'm very eager to try that restaurant myself.

Growth of Longitudinal Matrix Damage in Unidirectional Composites
An analytical model is developed to predict fracture behavior of unidirectional composite laminates with a transverse crack and longitudinal matrix damage. Consistent shear-lag theory is used in the stress-displacement expressions. The resulting system of differential equations is solved using an eigenvalue technique. Two types of composite elements are used in the model; homogeneous elements with smeared laminate properties and heterogeneous elements of constituent fiber and matrix properties. Model predictions for longitudinal split initiation and split growth are obtained to correlate with the available experimental data gathered from test specimens with simulated transverse cracks. Results show that the consistent shear-lag model accurately predicts split initiation. The model also predicts two regions of split growth. The first region is characterized by slow split growth due to a tension failure mode. The second region is attributed to a shear failure mode resulting in rapid split growth. © 1991.

Parents need to know that Start With a Book is an exceptionally helpful site for parents and teachers who are looking for book suggestions, reading activities, and practical tips for teaching kids to read. Books are categorized by theme so you can choose subjects that you know interest your kid. This site is not really for kids to peruse, but rather for adults to find good reading resources to offer kids. (Make sure you're typing in ".org," as there is also a ".com" site with the same name.)
What kids can learn
Language & Reading
- reading comprehension
Thinking & Reasoning
- asking questions
- asking questions

Is it any good?
This site is a powerfully comprehensive resource for parents, teachers, and librarians who want to find great books in the topics that typically interest kids, and who want to teach good reading skills to kids. There's so much information here that it's almost overwhelming. It may be best at first to start with your kid's interest and gradually fan out on the site from there. It would be great if site creators would add a section just for kids; right now the site is generally for adults to find books, activities, and reading tips for kids, but not for kids themselves.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about taking time to read. Ask your kid what's good about turning off the TV, computer, and mobile devices for some quiet reading time? What's difficult about it?
Set some reading time goals, and read with and/or alongside your child.
Try some of the suggested activities to make connections between the books you and your kid are reading and hands-on learning.

Aizawl, May 5, 2020:
With the continuous battle against the pandemic, the first and solo Covid-19 positive patient in the state of Mizoram has been recovering and now the state has now is in the verse of officially declaring a ‘corona free’. The patient was under the treatment at the Zoram Medical College in Falkawn near the state capital Aizawl.
After taking samples on 4 consecutive days, which were all tested at the Viral Research and Diagnostic Laboratory in Silchar Medical College, the Health Minister of Mizoram Dr R Lalthangliana last night declared all samples had returned ‘negative’.
Mizoram Chief Secretary, Lalnunmawia Chuaungo, said that his results had been declared on May 3. “Thus, when the result came back and it was declared that it was negative, we could say that Mizoram has indeed become free from the clutches of the coronavirus”, he said.
Government sources, meanwhile, said that the patient shall be kept in the hospital for further recovery as he is currently “too weak” to leave.
It may be recalled that Mizoram’s first and only case till now was detected on March 25, when the country was still in the initial stages of the outbreak. A 50-year-old pastor, who recently returned from Amsterdam
Although there have not been any other detections within the state, Mizos elsewhere have been infected. Recently, there have been a spate of infections in the Northeast India bordering state of West Bengal.
Notably, a 74-year-old man from Mizoram, who had tested positive for Covid-19 in Calcutta, died on Sunday night, officials confirmed.
There has been fear of an outbreak among the patients and attendants staying at Mizoram House after three persons, who are undergoing treatment at AMRI hospital, tested positive.

Over the last eight years, N2N has built quite an impressive career. In 2018, he was mentioned by Billboard in its list of the nine best sets from Burning Man, and the year prior he had the opportunity to perform for a global audience in New York’s Mixmag Lab. In the studio, his versatility shines through, as his groovy feel-good style has ‘landed him major label signings, including Deadmau5’s imprint hau5trap, as well as support from Fatboy Slim, Chris Lake, David Guetta, Idris Elba and more. Beyond the decks, Nick has become an outspoken advocate for mental health and suicide awareness. A survivor himself, he hopes to use his platform to break down the stigma associated with depression and encourage others in similar situations to speak freely in a time heavily dictated by external appearance.
Now, he’s back with a thrilling new single, teaming up with vocalist Modern Lover for “Under Control” via David Hohme’s Where The Heart Is imprint. It’s an infectious underground tune featuring a glimmering vocal from Modern Lover. The melodies blend effortlessly, culminating in a pulsating four-on-the-floor beat and an irresistibly bouncy bassline.
It’s yet another beautifully done track from N2N. We had the pleaseure to speak to him about this single along with other aspects of his career. Enjoy!
How did your experience at Burning Man influence your music and career?
The biggest thing Burning Man has done for me as a performer is to appreciate the floor in front of me. I used to feel disappointment if I weren’t playing to a packed club, or if I were opening and nobody had arrived yet. I’ve played incredible parties at Burning Man where 15 people were on the dance floor having the time of their lives. My responsibility as a DJ is to whomever is on the dance floor at that current moment. Obviously it’s done tremendous things for my career, for which I’m eternally grateful.
What inspired you to develop your unique take on house music?
I started DJing in NYC when I was 18, playing open format clubs for years. It was a class in reading the crowd, but beyond that, gave me an appreciation for incorporating multiple genres in the same set. Now that I’m strictly four on the floor oriented, I still like to incorporate different genres into my set, but under the umbrella of house. It’s more fun as a listener if you’re not getting the same vibe at the same frequencies for 90 minutes.
How did you start working with David Hohme and the record label “Where The Heart Is”?
I met David nearly 10 years ago through the BangOn community in New York. I’ve always had a lot of respect for him as a performer, and over the years we developed a friendship that grew as we started to connect over things outside of music. I rarely make music that’s a sonic fit for WTHI, but when I was showing him some demos I made last year, he highlighted this one and asked if it had been signed yet. The rest is history, and here we are!
What’s the story behind your song with Modern Lover and what’s the meaning of the title of the song?
Makayla and I met over the internet, when I was digging on Beatport for vocalists. We ended up spending Thanksgiving 2021 together in Los Angeles, eating Chinese food and working on random sketches (including Hit & Run on Country Club Disco). Makayla had the idea for the vocal, based on the concept of an unhealthy & controlling relationship (hence the title). We spent some time thinking about the vibe of the song, and eventually the first draft of what you hear today was there within the hour.
As a passionate vegan, how do you incorporate veganism into your life and career?
I like to wear clothes when I travel or perform that encourage conversations. If I play a show and wear a shirt from Don’t Eat the Homies, maybe someone will see it and be curious about the message or something like that.
Which qualities do you prioritize in a record label and what drew you to WTHI?
A lot of things come to mind here. You can approach it from the ‘who’s got the best connections with playlisters at Spotify or other DSPs’ or the ‘who’s got the biggest DJ promo pool.’ At the same time, personal relationships are important. A label can have the best connections in the world, but if they’re a bag of dicks then I have no interest in working with them.
What can fans look forward to from N2N in the upcoming year, both in terms of music and advocacy efforts?
More cats, more mental health, more touring, more music. I’ve set a goal of a release a month for 2023, which we’re on track to achieve. Trying to hit as many new markets as possible so I can start to build a wider audience and keep growing :). I love what I do, and I can’t wait to just do more of it.

Beluṛ Maṭh (Bengali: বেলুড় মঠ) is the headquarters of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission, founded by Swami Vivekananda, the chief disciple of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. It is located on the west bank of Hooghly River, Belur, West Bengal, India and is one of the significant institutions in Kolkata. This temple is the heart of the Ramakrishna Movement. The temple is notable for its architecture that fuses Christian, Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist art motifs as a symbol of unity of all religions.
Kalighat Kali Temple is a Hindu temple in West Bengal, India dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali. It is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas.
Kalighat was a Ghat (landing stage) sacred to Kali on the old course of the Hooghly river (Bhāgirathi) in the city of Calcutta. The name Calcutta is said to have been derived from the word Kalighat. The river over a period of time has moved away from the temple. The temple is now on the banks of a small canal called Adi Ganga which connects to the Hoogly. The Adi Ganga was the original course of the river Hoogly. Hence the name Adi(original) Ganga.
Kalighat is regarded as one of the 51 Shakti Peethas of India, where the various parts of Sati’s body are said to have fallen, in the course of Shiva’s Rudra Tandava. Kalighat represents the site where the toes of the right foot of Dakshayani or Sati fell.

A home tradition that leaks over into work~ Every yr I make homemade pumpkin bread. I use real pumpkin, not canned. I always take some to work to share. Another work tradition is that I try to leave work before midnight on New Yrs Eve.
Home Tradition~ The pumpkin bread of course. My grandma started this one. She passed away almost 2 yrs ago. She had Alzheimer's several yrs before that, SO I took up the tradition a long time ago. I have to have my house spotless New yrs Eve and black eyed pees on stove cooking at midnights. I also have to have money in my pocket at midnight. And I eat corn beef and cabbage on New yrs day. I'm a little superstitious.

Home Selling Guide
Selling your House for Cash
So you plan on selling your house, right? The problem is that the real estate agents even though they know tips to sell house fast they have high commissions.Another issue with selling your house is the amount of time that you are willing to wait until you can really sell your house, since perhaps the loan rate is coming and you do not have the money to pay for it.
If you choose to employ a real estate agent then the finest way to have a decent one with low commissions then you must ask somebody from your friends or from your family.
Tips to sell house fast
Generate some tiny adjustments that would cost a small amount but would enhance the look and use of your house.Something like changing a fridge, a toilet or a bathtub. If you have the money for investment or if you only want to make money from flipping houses then you must invest in something that will change the appearance of a bigger scale such as putting some grass court somewhere in the house or doing some repainting of some rooms and the list goes on.
Another tip is to be knowledgeable on the number of rooms and baths that can increase the price of your house. I mean if in the house can
live 4-5 persons and you only have a bath then the price of your property will lower, and you will get less money just because you didn't have 2 to 3 baths.So with a pair of thousands as an investment, you could possibly earn more when you sell the house. For more facts and information regarding home selling, you can go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_BjRn3jK0Y.
Imagine the things that you would want from a house, what utilities, what appliances and so on. You can put yourself in the place of a buyer and evaluate your property but try to be fair when you assess.
Details matter. Of course, little details such as a broken lock, broken bulb will lower the offer that you will get on your property. So fix and improve all the minor details if you want to sell your house fast and obtain higher offers.
Through flipping, buying or selling houses, you can actually make money. There are cash to be produced by flipping properties, massive cash. You possibly will make a couple tens of thousands in a few months. But be aware that you need to work hard because the possibility to hire Monaco Property Group to renovate your house it's not viable, because it could probably "eat" your profit.
A well-maintained one is much better than a dirty one. Do not display your house to prospective cash for houses in Tampa FL buyers if it is unclean or messy.

Snettisham's Wild Ken Hill support climate Bill
Wild Ken Hill in Snettisham, have joined the Zero Hour campaign in support of the Climate and Ecological Emergency (CEE) Bill.
It is a cross-party bill being drawn together to tackle the climate and nature emergency with much stronger and more joined-up legislation.
Wild Ken Hill is supporting the campaign because it does not feel that the current and forthcoming legislation for the agricultural and environmental sectors is strong enough in addressing climate and ecological breakdown.
The announcement was made on the Wild Ken Hill blog this weekend and the full post can be seen here
By joining the Zero Hour campaign in support of the CEE Bill, Wild Ken Hill hope to provide support to legislation that would begin to address critical issues facing our planet.
They also join fellow rewilders at Knepp in Sussex, as well as several organisations that they work with on a regular basis, including the Beaver Trust, the BTO, the Nature Friendly Farming Network, and Rewilding Britain.
Dominic Buscall, project manager at Wild Ken Hill said: "The time to act is now, we encourage everyone to get behind this bill to help restore nature and fight climate change.
"We are delighted to support the CEE Bill. The Wild Ken Hill project set out to restore nature and fight climate change.
"This Bill would allow exactly those aims to be pursued with real vigour across all sectors of the UK, and so we wholeheartedly offer our support, and encourage everyone to get behind it."
A Zero Hour campaign spokesperson said: "Restoring nature and fighting climate change go hand in glove. Decarbonising our economy isn’t enough. Climate change has gone too far.
"We urgently need the restoration of nature to help absorb greenhouse gases from the atmosphere if we are to limit warming to 1.5°C.
"This means radical change to the way we manage land, and the ocean.”
"The Wild Ken Hill project has done something truly remarkable, showing how quickly land can be restored to create healthy ecosystems capable of absorbing significant amounts of carbon increasing biodiversity and producing sustainable food.
"Farmers must be rewarded adequately to make this level of change."

Port of Dover
The University of Kent is leading a new research and innovation project with the Port of Dover, P&O Ferries, Warwick Manufacturing Group and Schneider Electric to investigate steps towards decarbonisation of the cross-channel ferry fleet. This is part of the national priority of achieving net-zero by 2050.
The Dover Clean Ferry Power project has been awarded funding of £450K, as part of the Department for Transport’s £20 million programme. This project will support the delivery of the Port of Dover Air Quality Action Plan.
Vicki Beatty, Head of Safety, Quality and Environment at the Port of Dover said: “As the UK approaches the important hosting of COP26, the United Nation’s climate change summit, we are delighted to be working with The Dover Clean Ferry Power (DCFP) consortium, including customers and academic partners, on the opportunity for hybrid and fully electric propulsion vessels on this critical trade route between the UK and its main trading partner, the European Union.
This important project supports the design and development of technologies for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as set out in the Clean Maritime Plan. This will help us understand how to capitalise on the unique benefits that Dover offers now as the shortest crossing to Europe, ensuring its efficiency, capacity and resilience can continue to be enjoyed by future generations across the nation.”
The seven-month project will be led by Kent Business School, utilising the University’s experts in sustainability, cost-analysis and economic development to investigate decarbonisation options and optimising energy demands to see how net-zero energy can be supplied to ferry vessels.
Currently, Port of Dover vessels spend energy through in-harbour activity, open sailing and on-vessel services (such as heating, lighting and hospitality). Some vessels are hybrid; self-charging on-board batteries whilst in open sailing and then using the battery charge whilst in-harbour.
The project will analyse how much net-zero energy can be stored and delivered in-harbour, to accelerate the adoption of hybrid or fully electric propulsion vessels in the Short Straits (Dover to Calais and Dunkirk) ferry fleet. Insights gained may then have the potential to extend to cruise and cargo operators, as well as adaptation of experienced vessels.
Simon Barnes, Funding & Partnership Development Manager in the University of Kent’s Research and Innovation Services Operations and Project Manager said: “For the University of Kent, this new project builds on a previous successful work with the Port of Dover and is an excellent example of a collaborative project with the University, industry partners and consumers.
It is our unified aim to investigate potential avenues that can lead to reductions in carbon emissions as part of the national priority of net-zero. The University of Kent is dedicated to the endeavour through a series of initiatives, with the Dover Clean Ferry Power project as a prime example of the role we play regionally and in applying intensive research to vital national goals.”
Kent has previously worked with the Port of Dover on a Knowledge Transfer Partnership and has achieved the highest possible rating from Innovate UK after developing a range of Net Zero logistics solutions and helped reduce traffic congestion, boost efficiency and cut costs for the Port.
Schneider Electric is a global leader in power systems, working in the North of Scotland to develop shore to ferry power connections and will provide the technical input required for shoreside equipment in the project.
Warwick Manufacturing Group are international leaders in research, development and application of battery and net zero transport technology, bringing innovation and experience to this project from other sectors. They will undertake feasibility, full modelling, testing and demonstrating, as well as application of new technology safely and effectively.


Have you been shopping for a new mattress and feeling a little overwhelmed? With so many types of mattresses, selecting the right one could feel like a daunting task.
One type that is rising in popularity is the latex mattress. These beds can be pricier than other types, but their benefits, durability, and comfort level can make them worth the investment.
While latex mattresses are a great option, they are not all the same.
Understanding the latex density and how it affects the properties of the mattress will help you determine which latex bed is right for you.
What is Latex Density?
textContent:Latex has become a favored material when it comes to helping enhance durability and performance in mattresses. The density of latex rubber in a bed directly influences the bed’s cost, performance, and durability.
You can find the latex density in a mattress by calculating the pounds per cubic foot, also known as PCF. Depending on this PCF number, the bed will fall into one of three categories: low-density, medium-density, or high-density.
Since each density category has its own unique set of pros and cons, knowing the latex density in a mattress is an important factor to recognize.
How is Latex Density Measured?
As mentioned above, the latex rubber density is measured using a mathematical formula to determine the pounds per cubic foot (PCF). The formula involves taking the object’s weight and dividing it by its total overall volume, and the resulting number is the PCF. For example, if a latex mattress weighs 100 pounds and measures 25 cubic feet, the result would be 4 PCF (100 divided by 25 equals 4).
The good news is you likely won’t have to figure this out on your own; most mattress manufacturers will list the materials used and the density (in PCF) on their websites.
How Latex Density Affects Mattress Performance
- Durability – Latex mattresses are very durable. Choosing a mattress with a high density of latex ensures maximum durability as these beds have one of the longest lifespans of at least eight years. However, even beds with a low latex density tend to last longer than other products, such as memory foam.
- Conforming ability- A mattress that conforms and supports your body is important when it comes to the comfort of your bed. A mattress with a low latex density may not conform as well. If you prefer a deeper cradle from your bed, consider choosing a high-density latex mattress.
- Pain/pressure relief- A low-density bed could provide sufficient support for those who experience slight aches and pains. However, individuals with chronic pain or those who want maximum support should opt for higher-density mattresses. These mattresses provide the most support for pain and pressure relief. Read about mattresses for pressure relief here.
- Temperature neutrality- Low-density beds are the optimal choice for keeping you cooler at night. Because they offer better air circulation, your body heat is less likely to get trapped. While low-density latex beds are best for cooler sleeping, even high-density latex mattresses are cooler than other foams.
- Sex- Low-density latex mattresses are more responsive than foam, rating them higher for sex. Also, sleeping with a partner means extra body heat, but as mentioned, low-density latex can help alleviate this. Conversely, since high-density latex lacks better air circulation and tends to be less responsive, it rates lower for sex.
- Motion isolation- Low-density latex mattresses do not rate well for absorbing motion transfer because of their responsive nature. While medium density doesn’t work as well as memory foam, it is still a decent option. However, for results similar to memory foam, a high-density latex bed is recommended.
- Odor potential- If you are sensitive to odors, you may want to consider a low-density latex bed. These beds will often have a rubbery smell when new, but this tends to fade quickly. On the other hand, high-density latex beds have been known to have a smell that can be pungent and persistent.
- Mattress weight – While the weight of latex mattresses varies depending on the density, they will all weigh much more than other foam options. Low-density latex options weigh the least, ranging from 90-105 pounds, while high-density latex weighs the most at around 110-125 pounds.
- Average price- Overall, latex mattresses are more expensive than other beds. As you can imagine, the higher the latex density, the higher the cost. Therefore, a low-density option will be the most budget-friendly.

Difference Between Density, Firmness, and ILD
Density and firmness ratings, along with latex ILD charts and guides, are all used when describing mattresses. Density refers to the latex rubber in the mattress and is found by a mathematical formula.
Firmness is a term used for how something feels based on a scale of 1-10, with ten being the firmest.
The indentation load deflection (ILD) is another way to assign a firmness rating. The ILD is found by placing a 1-foot diameter disc on material 4 inches thick and then compressing. The number that it takes for 25 percent compression is referred to as the ILD rating.
Read More: What is ILD – Indentation Load Deflection?
What Kind of Latex Does Your Bed Have?
There are two main types of latex materials used: natural and synthetic.
Natural latex is made mostly from the extract of rubber trees and is a great eco-friendly option. The Global Organic Latex Seal (GOLS) certifies that the latex is at least 95 percent natural. However, this means that 5 percent may contain other non-organic fillers.
Synthetic latex is made mostly from petrochemicals. While this creates a similar density to organic latex, it may trap body heat more and is typically less durable.
Blended latex has both natural and synthetic latex, but the ratio may vary. The general rule states that blended latex should feature at least 30 percent natural latex, or it could be labeled as synthetic. You may come across some brands calling blended latex natural, which is misleading because the blend also features synthetic components.
How to Choose the Right Latex Density?
To choose the right latex density for your new mattress, you’ll also need to consider your sleeping position and body weight.
Sleeping positions are categorized as back, side, stomach, and combination. Weight categories include lightweight sleepers (130 pounds or less), average weight sleepers (130-230 pounds), and heavyweight sleepers (230 pounds or more).
Lightweight sleepers will most likely find sufficient support with a low to medium-density bed, while heavyweight sleepers should consider a high-density mattress for full support. Whatever bed you choose, make sure it supports your body as needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Latex Density Affect the Layers of Your Mattress?
Latex mattresses usually have two to five layers. The upper layers are less dense to offer comfort and some sinkage for relieving pressure points. The middle layers should be medium-to-high density, while the bottom layer should be the highest density to support and stabilize the upper layers. Although this is a common layout, some brands may make adjustments based on their research and technologies.
How Does Latex Density Compare With Other Foam Types?
Latex is often compared to memory foam. Because memory foam softens when exposed to heat, the density could shift. Memory foam is generally a denser foam than standard poly foam, so it’s more durable but also prone to trapping heat. However, some memory foams have an open cell construction, which is a way to reduce heat, but this also lightens the density. Some poly foams are made to look and feel like memory foam or latex. Although these mattresses are significantly more affordable, they’re also less durable than all-latex beds.
Do High-Density Latex Mattresses Sleep Hot?
No, high-density latex mattresses don’t sleep hot. That being said, they won’t be as cool as a low-density option. The only case in which a high-density latex mattress could sleep hot would be if it has a higher profile than 10 inches. The reason for this is that these beds may allow more sinkage, which could result in some heat build-up. Latex mattresses are breathable and often recommended for hot sleepers since they’re naturally more temperature-neutral than memory foam. Manufacturers may also implement breathable fabrics like cotton into their mattress covers to enhance the cooling effects of latex beds.
Latex beds are an excellent option for someone seeking a new mattress. Their durability, ability to be eco-friendly, and exceptional cooling properties are just a few of the reasons for their growing popularity.
Although they may be a bigger purchase up front, it’s also a smart financial investment since they should last you a long time. Understanding the different latex density levels and the properties of each will ensure you choose the right density for your specific needs.
Once you choose your perfect latex mattress, you can rest easy and know it will support you for years to come.

Labour has lost the Glasgow East by-election to a pro-life candidate who openly criticised the Government’s controversial embryos Bill.
The winner, John Mason of the SNP, opposes abortion on demand and so-called “social abortion”. He is “extremely uncomfortable” with embryo experimentation.
During his victory speech he said, “I would like to thank all those who have prayed for me during this campaign.”
Labour’s candidate, Margaret Curran, supported Gordon Brown’s embryos Bill which allows for animal-human embryos and ‘saviour siblings’.
The Bill also removes the requirement for doctors to consider a child’s need for a father in IVF.
The Glasgow East constituency – which was one of Labour’s safest seats in the UK – has large numbers of Roman Catholics.
Ahead of the vote, Roman Catholic Bishops strongly criticised the Government’s embryos Bill as “monstrous” and a violation of “moral law”.
The embryos Bill was not the only issue during the by-election, but it played a significant role in the campaign.
The campaign group, Right to Life, sent letters to eleven churches in the constituency spelling out the beliefs of the candidates on pro-life issues.
Mr Mason sparked a row on 13 July when he claimed the Government wants to “experiment with babies”.
He said: “I’m extremely unhappy about experiments with babies, or research, or anything like that.” Mr Mason later clarified his position and referred to “research on embryos”.
The final Commons votes on the embryos Bill were due to take place during the run up to the by-election. But they were delayed by the Government until the autumn.
There has been speculation that the Labour party leadership wanted to avoid a sensitive issue for Roman Catholic voters in the by-election.

“Not all who wander are lost.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
I suppose it was wanderlust that prompted me, at the hopeful age of 11, to suggest I accompany my grandmother on her two-week vacation in Hawaii. Or maybe it was the trip itself that instilled in me the understanding that travel is essential. It gives us the opportunity to see this world with new and curious eyes; it teaches us about the environment, our history and culture, and the people with whom we share this planet; it inspires us to try new things, explore different ideas, and step out of this comfortable skin that holds us too-firmly in the familiar. It gives us breath.
I suppose it was also wanderlust that inspired me to want to see all of this country, from sea to shining sea. I don’t remember the exact moment or age, but for as long as I can remember, I have wanted to “drive cross-country.”
In celebration of 50 years on this planet, my dear friend DeLinda and I got in a car on a recent Monday morning and drove west—across this beautiful, diverse, surprising country of ours. And now I want to tell you about it!
A multi-year journey to take us “there and back again,” as Tolkien penned. Leg One, for 2016, a two-week wander from Connecticut to Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming. Along the way? A healthy mix of Americana, kitsch, wide open spaces, and spontaneity that includes the Spam Museum, a Jolly Green Giant statue, Mount Rushmore, Devil’s Tower, and Yellowstone.
Familiar east coast travel to I-80 in New York. Then on across Pennsylvania and into Illinois, with a detour around the windy city. Picking up I-90 just south of the Wisconsin border, then westward ho for 1,300 miles or so to the great National Parks of Wyoming.
Reliable rental car, a one-way transaction. A traveling pantry: cooler, dry goods, and kitchenware. Scattered hotel reservations with plenty of breathing room in between. A flexible itinerary and trusty “Binder” of maps, attractions, and tourist information. Good organizational skills. Coffee.
And away we go!

September/October, 1997 Volume XII Number 8
Artwork is a "bomb" to police
West Palm Beach, FL -- Artist Randi Joe Grantham gets no respect -- especially from police.
Grantham, 33, is the Florida artist whose pro-life depictions have upset the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) when he has mailed them to abortionists and clinics throughout the country (Life Advocate May 1996), and the Washington, D.C. Police who stopped him when he attempted to show his work on the public sidewalk outside the U.S. Supreme Court building (Life Advocate, February/March 1997).
More recently neither the U.S. Postal Service nor any of the common carriers like FedEx and UPS have been delivering or returning his packages -- even though he clearly displays the return address.
"I then started sending my artwork by Registered Mail," Grantham says. "I have sent out about 20 or more and have received only two cards back. Even they took a couple of months to get back."
Grantham was so frustrated that he delivered one of the packages personally on May 15 to Presidential Women's Center in West Palm Beach -- leaving it on the sidewalk outside the abortuary for fear of being charged with trespassing.
The art piece he delivered was a clear, faceted Lucite block with "ghost" unborn twin children suspended inside.
He heard nothing for a couple of months until a reporter from the Palm Beach Post called him about a police "blotter" report that the bomb squad had responded to the package by cordoning off the area for several hours and blowing off the cardboard box's lid with a water cannon.
The reporter told Grantham that the police asked her not to write up the story so as not to give Grantham any publicity but admitted that there were no charges that could be brought against the artist.
"This is how he expresses his freedom of speech," said Sgt. John Johnson of the West Palm Beach Police.
But the story did not end with the newspaper's report on the incident. Shortly after the report, Grantham was in a local mall when a stranger approached him from behind, asked him not to look at him, and began to warn him that if he persisted with his artwork and activities, he could be in danger.
The large man claimed he was a friend and that Grantham's free speech demonstrations were viewed in certain quarters as a "national threat" and that the artist should "think very hard about what you are doing."
While the incident scared Grantham, he says, "I will not let anyone scare me out of expressing myself the way I have been doing."
Grantham's most recent piece, entitled "Will there ever be peace?" and created shortly after the abortuary bombing in Atlanta, Georgia, shows an unborn child balanced precariously on top of two pipe bombs.

§ Sir H. Parnell
rose to present a petition to the House from the high sheriff and grand jury of the Queen's county, which, he could venture to say, spoke the sentiments of all the magistracy of Ireland upon the subject to which it relates. The petitioners complained of the inadequacy of the civil power, as provided by the statutes, to enable the magistrates to administer, with any effect, the criminal law; and stated, that crimes were constantly committed with impunity, and that it was necessary to have constant recourse to military assistance in very trivial cases. He could, from his own knowledge, state several instances in which the interference of the military had been attended with fatal effects. In one case, where the offence was only an assault, the person against whom the warrant was granted, was shot, while attempting to escape after having been taken; in another, several lives were lost by soldiers being called in to prevent an expected battle between two parties of the lower orders. While the last assizes were going on in Mary borough, a corporal and six men were sent to arrest a man who had been concerned in stopping carriages loaded with provisions. He had heard two judges from the bench justify the magistrates for calling out the military when the general peace of the country was in no ways disturbed, on the ground of the defective state of the civil power. Though the office of constable existed in Ireland, it was not in any respect similar to the office as it existed in this country. Here the magistrates could enforce the laws by the aid of the constables; in Ireland they were so inefficient, that the magistrates were constantly obliged to assist in person in the execution of their own warrants. If a magistrate gave a constable a warrant, in nine cases out of ten it was not executed, and the guilty escaped punishment. So little confidence was placed in the power of the magistrate to secure redress, that it was a common practice to suffer offences against the law to pass over without any attempt to 144 punish those who were guilty of them. What the petitioners prayed for was, a revision of the laws relating to the civil police of the country, with a view of obtaining such an arrangement of it as would afford the magistrates, who were willing to exert themselves in the preservation of the public peace, and the prevention of crime, a proper opportunity of exercising their authority. It was not necessary, in order to do so, to establish any severe or unconsitutional system of police, but merely to regulate the office of constable in such a manner, that it should become an efficient instrument in the hands of the magistrates for the administration of the laws.
observed, that there was no period in which less recourse was had to the military power than during the last two or three years. The civil power in Ireland was regulated partly by the executive government and partly by the grand juries; the former superintended it in cases of disturbance where strong measures were required, the latter where the ordinary office of constable was deemed sufficient. The grand juries were empowered to remove constables for negligence or misconduct, and to appropriate salaries to the amount of 20l. a year to each individual. The only limit to their authority with respect to these situations was, that they could not increase the number, which was limited in each barony; but he thought that even with this limitation, they possessed ample means to provide effectually for the preservation of the peace.
§ Sir H. Parnell
said, that so far from the grand juries, having the power of reforming the office of constable, the whole complaint of the petitioners consisted in their not possessing any means of rendering the office efficient. This was not a matter concerning which any doubt could exist. Every magistrate and grand juror would be ready to agree with the opinions of the petitioners. Neither they, nor had he, found fault with the government in being too ready to make use of the military. The present government, he was aware, had taken considerable pains to place the matter under proper regulations. He had hoped that the right hon. gentleman would himself have been ready to bring forward some measure to meet the wishes of the petitioners; but as he had not done so, he would now give notice, that soon after the Easter 145 recess, he would move for a committee to inquire into the state of the civil police of Ireland.
Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald
bore testimony to the infrequency of military interference in ordinary police cases in Ireland. Much praise was due to the government of that country for harmonising the dispositions of all classes, and abating every thing of an unconstitutional interference of the military. Considerable satisfaction had been given to the people at large, on finding the lord lieutenant had been empowered to take out of the consolidated fund, such sumsas should be necessary to maintain the public tranquillity, and preserve individuals from experiencing those acts of violence and aggression which had too long been a stain to the pages of Irish history.
§ The petition was ordered to lie on the table.

Sturt National Park, Outback NSW
Sturt National Park, located just to the north of Tibooburra, presents the visitor with insights into outback Australia's geomorphology. From the iconically red rolling sand dunes of the Strezlecki desert to the flat-topped mesas and the 450 million-year-old granite tors surrounding Tibooburra, a Sturt NP visit is a once in lifetime experience.
Sturt National Park is 344,000 hectares and the largest in New South Wales.
Prior to becoming a National Park, the area was decimated by overstocking during 1880 and 1910 through pastoral activities. Half of all the wildlife in the area was driven from the land by graziers to the extent that most of the edible saltbush and copper-burr was destroyed.
Nonetheless, since the park's dedication in 1972, the vegetation has returned to what remains the best stretch of real outback desert in New South Wales. The reserve contains both Aboriginal habitation (mostly middens and stone remnants) and European pastoral history.
The park's topography is startlingly different ranging from red sandhills rising 15 m above the clay pans, dry creek beds and small rocky gorges, and gibber plains (stony desert), and 'jump-up' country. The 'Jump-Ups' are isolated mesas that rise forlornly above their flat surroundings to a height of 150 m. The flora is predominantly mulga bushland and arid shrubland, although a rich carpet of wildflowers can emerge after heavy rains.
The park is inhabited by red kangaroos, euros, and many lizards and birds including dotterels, the Pratincole - also known as 'Roadrunner', wedge-tailed eagles, kestrels and babblers (which characteristically follow each other through the trees and along the ground). A lake appears occasionally providing a temporary haven for waterbirds. At the western end of the reserve is Explorers Tree where Sturt once buried food.
Drives and walks are popular in this unique reserve, with camping areas at Dead Horse Gully, Mount Wood, Olive Downs and Fort Grey. They all have toilets, gas barbecues and water. Camping fees apply, but bookings are not necessary, Ring (08) 8091 3308 for further information.
The northern and western border of Sturt National Park is the famous Dingo Fence that stretches from the Darling Downs in Queensland to the Eyre peninsula on cliffs of the Nullarbor Plain, massive 5,000+ kilometres.
The eastern section features adventurous drives including the Gorge Loop Road and the Jump-Ups Loop Road, exploring this eroded mountain range. Of course, a trip to Cameron Corner is a must. Or take a trek along Middle Road for fantastic vistas at regular lookouts along the way. Fort Grey, Olive Downs and Dead Horse Gully or up to Mt Wood's summit are also excellent options for moderate walks.
Sturt National Park Self-drive tours:
- The Gorge Loop Road: This trip around Mt Wood and the Mount Wood Hills covers the outdoor pastoral heritage museum, Mt Wood Homestead & shearers quarters, the Gibber and Mitchell Grass Plains, the Twelve Mile Creek Gorge, and the old pastoral remains at Torrens Bore and Horton Park Station. Wildlife such as Emu, Kangaroo, and Wedge-Tail eagles are commonly sighted.
- The Jump-Ups Loop Road: The ancient landforms known as the Jump-Ups are the remains of an ancient eroded mountain range leaving the 150m plateau (Mesa) and the granite strewn plains that form the catchment of the Connia Creek (Ephemeral) which follows south-east into the Twelve Mile creek.
- Cameron Corner: The drive from Tibooburra to Cameron Corner takes the visitor through a diverse landscape including the Waka claypan, Fort Grey - provisions stockade built by explorer Charles Sturt for his inland expeditions, and on to Corner Corner and the Dog Fence.

Samuel George "Sammy" Davis, Jr.
(December 8, 1925 – May 16, 1990) was an American entertainer.
Primarily a dancer and singer, he also had many acting roles on stage and screen, and was noted for his impersonations of actors and other celebrities.
At the age of three Davis began his career in vaudeville with his father and Will Mastin as the Will Mastin Trio, which toured nationally.
After military service Davis returned to the trio.
Davis became an overnight sensation following a nightclub performance at Ciro's after the 1951 Academy Awards.
With the trio, he became a recording artist.
In 1954, he lost his left eye in an automobile accident, and several years later, he converted to Judaism.Davis' film career began as a child in 1933.
In 1960, he appeared in the first Rat Pack film, Ocean's 11.
After a starring role on Broadway in 1956's Mr Wonderful, Davis returned to the stage in 1964's Golden Boy, and in 1966 had his own TV variety show, The Sammy Davis Jr.
Davis' career slowed in the late 1960s, but he had a hit record with "The Candy Man" in 1972 and became a star in Las Vegas, earning him the nickname "Mister Show Business".As an African-American, Davis was the victim of racism throughout his life and was a large financial supporter of the Civil Rights movement.
Davis had a complex relationship with the African-American community, and drew criticism after physically embracing President Richard M.
Nixon in 1972.
One day on a golf course with Jack Benny, he was asked what his handicap was.
"Handicap?" he asked.
"Talk about handicap — I'm a one-eyed Negro Jew." This was to become a signature comment, recounted in his autobiography, and in countless articles.After reuniting with Sinatra and Dean Martin in 1987, Davis toured with them and Liza Minnelli internationally, before he died of throat cancer in 1990.
He died in debt to the Internal Revenue Service, and his estate was the subject of legal battles.Davis was awarded the Spingarn Medal by the NAACP and was nominated for a Golden Globe and an Emmy Award for his television performances.
He was the recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors in 1987, and in 2001, he was posthumously awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.StageMr.

Danish UI Student Heads Home to the Copenhagen Climate Summit
Adam Lentz is taking a week from his studies at the University of Illinois to go back to his home town in Europe. But it'll be a working break - his home is Copenhagen, where representatives from the world's countries have gathered to hammer out an agreement on climate change. Lentz is a Fulbright graduate student studying natural resources and environmental science. When he was an undergraduate at the University of Copenhagen, he was the president of the Union of Danish Natural Resource Students. He's going to the Copenhagen summit to monitor its progress, and he sat down with AM 580's Tom Rogers to talk about his expectations.


During a recent book event I was asked, What’s the best thing about being published? My response was to sit speechless for several seconds. I found it hard to narrow down to one thing, as there have been so many wonderful experiences (as well as a few stressful/upsetting times too – being completely honest here!).
My mind jumped to a month or so before publication, when my dad read a story in the collection. I wondered if he’d be able to relate to the main characters, or even find them interesting. But his comment showed me he’d settled inside their heads, and empathised with them both. Dad said, It’s really about two damaged people, finding solace in one another. His words proved to me (yet again) that stories hold great power.
Another highlight was when my writing group came to the book launch, all dressed in yellow (or with yellow accessories). Having them there, and especially seeing them decked out in the book’s cover colour, was something I won’t ever forget.
High school friends and work colleagues and uni mates and relatives and fellow writers also came to the book events at Avid Reader bookshop, including people I’d only ever chatted to on social media. My brother flew in from interstate, and friends drove from the Gold Coast. The bookstore even sold a cocktail named Fiona’s Fizz 😊 All this was such a demonstration of human kindness and it floored me.
I’ve loved hearing from family and friends about their favourite stories – often ones I worried wouldn’t have enough appeal. I think what thrills me most about this is not their story choices (though that does fascinate me) but simply the fact they’ve done me the huge honour of reading my work.
It’s been incredible to see If You’re Happy in bookstores around Australia, with friends and Twitter pals sending me photos of the book in shops and libraries, or in their homes.
A good friend sent me a gorgeous ‘book necklace’ which is one of the most thoughtful gifts I’ve ever received (thank you so much Louise).
And something truly magical has been reconnecting with my high school English teacher (who must by now be in her late seventies or even early eighties). I sent her a copy of the book a couple of weeks ago, with a note thanking her for what she taught us – which was not to accept lazy work, not to write something adequate and then expect a good mark. She pushed us to do better, to extend ourselves beyond what we thought was possible. That work ethic is still with me today, and it helped me write the book.
I received a lovely reply from my teacher last week. She thanked me for the card and gift, said she was healthy and enjoying life, and that she was looking forward to reading If You’re Happy. It was an amazing moment – to discover my high school English teacher was well, and to know I’d been able to thank her for a lesson never forgotten.
Now to nervously await my grade 😜
