Thursday’s Tour coverage
Peter Hanson birdied his final hole en route to a 5-under 65 in Thursday’s opening round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship. The Swede leads David Duval, Tim Wilkinson and Marc Leishman by a shot at TPC Four Seasons Resort. Last week’s winner at The Players, Martin Kaymer, is among a large group tied for fourth at 3 under. Here are 5 Things you need to know from Thursday’s first-round action in San Antonio:
On the verge of taking over the World No. 1 ranking, Adam Scott has committed to playing next week’s Crowne Plaza Invitational, the PGA Tour announced Thursday. Also committing is Dustin Johnson, who shot 1-under 69 today to open the HP Byron Nelson Championship and started the week ranked No. 14 in the OWGR. Scott is not playing this week as the Associated Press has reported he will take the top spot from Tiger Woods.
Graeme McDowell will skip next week’s BMW PGA Championship in England to spend time at his U.S. home with his pregnant wife. McDowell’s status for a spot on Europe’s team for the Sept. 26-28 Ryder Cup is uncertain as he ranks 20th on the European points list; McDowell has posted five top-10 finishes in nine starts on PGA Tour.
The top of the field is loaded for this week’s HP Byron Nelson Championship. Among the six players in the top seven of the FedEx Cup points standings playing this week: Jordan Spieth, the Texas product who contended at the Masters, and Jimmy Walker, the Baylor product who has won three times during this PGA Tour wraparound season. Passing all those notables for the lead is Peter Hanson, looking for his first PGA Tour victory at age 36. He leads David Duval, Marc Leishman and Tim Wilkinson by a shot.
• • •
About a month apart this spring, 20-year-old Jordan Spieth led the Masters and The Players during the final rounds. It follows that he was asked Wednesday at the HP Byron Nelson Championship if he considered talk of his being golf’s “next big thing” as a burden or compliment. Demonstrating maturity beyond his years and being consistent with past behavior, Spieth again showed he thinks it’s important to block out external factors. This will serve him well if he stays the course. “I don’t even hear it,” he said. “I don’t view it as either one.
Awarding sponsor exemptions is a borderline impossible task given how many quality players are seeking them. Unfortunately, tournament directors receive far too much scrutiny, especially because the critics rarely know all the reasons that go into the picks. So it’s always nice to highlight the picks that deserve special praise. Go back a few weeks to when Steve Timms, tournament director of the Shell Houston Open, assigned one of his exemptions to Shawn Stefani.
Back in 2004, Scotsman Russell Knox was playing competitively for Jacksonville University when he made it out to watch The Players Championship. His dream came true when he made his debut at the Stadium Course last week in front of a healthy number of friends and former college teammates. Plus: Among the statistical insight from TPC Sawgrass is where Rory McIlroy found his comfort zone.
If it’s all about learning, gaining experience, and getting a feel for what it takes to win, consider this 2013-14 season to be a smashing success already for Jordan Spieth. He played in the final group Sunday for the fourth time in 2013-14. While he hasn’t won, only the strictest of markers would give him poor grades.
After last year’s course-record 60 and a win in 2011, it makes sense that Keegan Bradley is among the favorites for this week’s HP Byron Nelson Championship on PGA Tour. See our experts’ picks for this week at TPC Four Seasons.
Martin Kaymer won the Players Championship Sunday to move to 28th in the Official World Golf Ranking. He had entered the week 61st in the OWGR, but was 30th in the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings before winning at TPC Sawgrass – Kaymer is now ranked 28th by Golfweek. It is the 14th time in 20 PGA Tour events in 2014 that the winner had been ranked higher in the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings than in the OWGR to start the week.

Continuing the competitive streak between “Iron Man” and “The Dark Knight” (Robert Downey Jr. memorably remarked “F – – – DC Comics!” after seeing the Batman flick), Screen Rant reported that director Jon Favreau says he hopes he can shoot “Iron Man 2” in IMAX and 3D, budget permitting.
Also on Screen Rant: exciting (we guess?) news that “Rambo 5” is “in the pipeline” at Lionsgate, set to be written and directed by Sylvester Stallone. The site also put forth a suggestion for the title: “Rambo: Fifth Blood.”
Dark Horizons says that British actor David Tennant held out for a “Doctor Who” movie deal when signing for a fifth season of the BBC show. The report, which came from the Telegraph, added that Catherine Zeta-Jones’ name had come up as a possible traveling companion for the big-screen Doctor.
Director Danny Boyle (“Slumdog Millionaire,” “Sunshine”) says he’s thinking about doing an animated, musical film with the English band I Am Kloot, says MTV News. Although Boyle admits to being “useless on music, technically,” he says he can still tell the good from the sucky.
“Simpsons” writer Dana Gould will write the script for the film adaptation of the Sid and Marty Krofft show “Sigmund and the Sea Monsters,” Dark Horizons says. Unlike the Matt Groening show, however, this movie will be live-action.

Molecular Dynamics Done Quick: Efficient Trajectory Analysis Software
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation nowadays is an essential part of biological, chemical and physical research. There is a vast variety of accurate and high-performance MD software facilitating the task. However simulations of biopolymers on meaningful time scales always produce large trajectories rarely amenable to manual analysis. Such analysis, and especially meaningful data search and extraction, often becomes a bottleneck of in silico experiment along with actual MD computations. Most of existing software for analysis of MD simulation results is based on command-line, script-guided processes that require the researchers to have an idea about programming language constructions used, often applied to the one and only product, providing an excessive set of analytic features, but sacrificing ease of use, simplicity and clarity. In this work, we present an open source, cross-platform, GUI-based program, MDTRA (Molecular Dynamics Trajectory Reader and Analyzer), which may be helpful in addressing such issues. MDTRA is a versatile program and does not require scripting (yet supports it), is able to quickly plot the analysis results, and minimizes RAM requirements (Popov et al., 2012). A key MDTRA feature is the logical organization of data handling and treatment. Our program introduces a convenient way to manage data based on a principle of a re-useable “conveyor”, which delivers results from “streams” (trajectories) through “data sources” to “result collectors”. Each stage is adjustable at any time, causing only the affected data sources to be rebuilt. MDTRA allows users to plot and analyze distances, angles and forces in the molecule. It also implements trajectory-related search and extraction tools, including determination of meaningful torsions of protein backbone, search for stable hydrogen bonds, building 2D-RMSD diagrams, and massive comparative plotting of DNA parameters.
MDTRA proved itself useful in a study of DNA repair enzymes OGG1, Fpg, and MutY. An example of analysis of the mobility of tryptophan residues contributing to fluorescence of E. coli Fpg (observed experimentally by Kuznetsov et al., 2007) is shown in the Figure.
This research has been supported by the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences (6.14), SB RAS Integrative Grants (No. 26, No. 119), and by Russian Foundation for Basic Research (11-04-00807-a, 12-04-00135-a). MDTRA is available at http://bison.niboch.nsc.ru/en/mdtra.html.

Valerie Naifeh to be honored at Alzheimer's Association Memory Gala
Edmond resident and owner of Naifeh Fine Jewelry, Valerie Naifeh is to be honored with the Maureen Reagan Award at the 2014 Alzheimer’s Association Memory Gala on April 10.
Valerie Naifeh has shared her talent for creating beautiful jewelry with central Oklahoma for decades, as the owner of Naifeh Fine Jewelry in Oklahoma City. For just as long, the Edmond resident has given of her time, talent and treasures to numerous philanthropic causes.
It is for her constant generosity to The Alzheimer’s Association Oklahoma Chapter through the years that Naifeh is to be honored with the Maureen Reagan Award at the 2014 Alzheimer’s Association Memory Gala on April 10.
“Valerie has been incredibly gracious and generous to us over the years by supporting us through what she’s done with her jewelry, that has allowed us to generate dollars for our auction. And she has always been eager to do that,” said Mark Fried, CEO of the The Alzheimer’s Association Oklahoma Chapter.
As an example, Fried said a spirited bidding war was taking place last year over a piece of jewelry she’d designed especially for the auction. At the last moment, Naifeh offered to make another so both bidders could win.
“Right on the spot, she agreed,” Fried said. “We actually doubled our money.”
A fatal diagnosis
In Oklahoma, 60,000 people live with Alzheimer’s disease, according to the association.
“That many people would fill up the Chesapeake Arena three times,” Fried said. “It’s an overwhelming number.”
Alzheimer’s disease is fatal — it’s the sixth-leading cause of death in America, with about 500,000 people dying each year from the disease and its complications.
And as Baby Boomers turn 65 at a rate of about 10,000 per day, Fried said, it’s clear that the disease could reach epidemic proportions within the next few decades, if a cure is not found.
The Alzheimer’s Association is the private sector’s worldwide leader in Alzheimer’s research and outreach, Fried said.
Learning about Alzheimer’s
Naifeh said she remembers as a child hearing people throw around the term “lost his mind.”

Fort Worth-based D.R. Horton Inc. announced Thursday its third-quarter profit fell to $146 million, or 42 cents per share, down from $787.8 million or $2.22 per share a year earlier.

Kuria warns politicians against clinging to Ruto’s UDA party for elections
Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has warned politicians against clinging to Deputy President William Ruto for election claiming that their goose is cooked.
Kuria said that while his Chama Cha Kazi (CCK) party has been branded as village-based, the DP allied politicians will run to him for support after they are rigged out during party nominations.
Speaking during his thanksgiving ceremony at Thika Stadium in Kiambu County, Kuria claimed that his CCK party will produce a significant number of governors, MPs and MCAs.
"Most of those in UDA are already elected leaders and there might not be any fairness during their party nomination. Those who have been calling me out will run to me seeking for help," he said.
"They might ignore the non-elected but these are the people who will dethrone those already elected," he added.
Kuria at the same time urged the electorate to screen those seeking to represent them in various positions warning them against voting on euphoria, party lines and wave.


On March 11th, after a brief hibernation, a trip to the Temple of the Demons of Venus, and some foreplay at the home studio, we began to record our latest collection of songs. With engineer and co-producer Matthew Ellard (Billy Bragg and Wilco, Elliot Smith, Morphine) at the helm, we ceaselessly spent 25 days and nights slaying windmills and capturing sounds. Some tracks you may have heard, while others were new at the onset of the session. The first week was tracked in Cambridge, MA at Q-Division Studio, and the remainder was recorded in an old paper mill with a vintage Neumann microphone, a trash can, xylophone, guitars, banjo, basses and plenty of thunder. We're now letting all the notes settle and it will be mixed and mastered this summer. More updates coming soon...
And in tour news...

Reno, NV (PRWEB) December 11, 2008
AeroTech Services, Inc., announced today that Brussels Airlines purchased AeroTech's modification to reduce fuel costs and green house gas emissions for the airlines' Boeing 737 Classics.
The AeroTech B737 modification has been verified in FAA (United States Federal Aviation Agency) Flight Tests to reduce fuel burn, in-cruise, by up to 4%. The modification increases the aircraft's wing area and camber, and lengthens the wing chord, resulting in an increased lift-to-drag ratio; effectively reducing fuel burn and emissions during climb and cruise periods.
Brussels Airlines is the flagship carrier and largest Belgian airline with 45 aircraft in its fleet. Brussels airlines operates to over 60 destinations in 20 European countries as well as long-haul flights to East, Central and West Africa. It also operates charter services, maintenance and training of cockpit and cabin crew. The airline is a member of IATA and the Association of European Airlines (AEA).
Other Airlines currently using the AeroTech modification include Swiftair, Quikjet, Donghai Airlines, and Ukraine International Airline. AeroTech Services, Inc., a Reno, Nevada-based company, holds the US Patent No. 6,598,834 on the wing modification for all aircraft. The company markets and sells the modification worldwide to commercial airline operators.

- A Chance Meeting: Intertwined Lives of American Writers and Artists 1854-1967
- Little, Brown & Company, 464 pp.
The Driver of This Car Has No Further Territorial Claims in Arabia reads Ted Mundy’s bumper sticker. Mr. Mundy, the son of a British Army officer, was raised in India at the twilight of the Britain’s empire. He finished his schooling in England and then moved on to a period of sexually charged radical politics where he met Sasha, a diminutive, hobbled, leftist action junkie who will reappear throughout his life. The two worked together for the West during the Cold War: Ted Mundy smuggling out from Eastern Europe the state secrets of East Germany that a disillusioned Sasha provides him at significant risk to his own life.
Elegant, inspired writing, rich characters, a gripping story – the book is vintage Le Carré. What comes through in this one and gives it added significance is a heavy dose of bitterness over America’s foray into Iraq after 9/11. Absolute Friends begins with England concluding its debacle in India and ends with America heading down the same imperialist path with its invasion of Iraq. For Ted Mundy,
It’s the discovery, in the sixth decade, that half a century after the death of empire, the dismally ill-managed country he’d done a little of this and that for is being marched off to quell the natives on the strength of a bunch of lies, in order to please the renegade hyperpower that thinks it can treat the rest of the world as its fiefdom.
As the second Iraq war begins, Sasha reappears in Mundy’s life inspired this time by a George Soros type character named Dimitri – a rich international businessman who wants to use his ill-gotten billions to make the world a better place. Mundy is suspicious of Dimitri, but concludes he might be the only solution for a world sinking further and further into hell. Dimitri roars,
And don’t give me that horseshit about Old Europe. We’re looking at the oldest America in the book. Puritan zealots butchering savages in the name of the Lord…but whoever owns the truth owns the game…Anybody who nails the lies is a radical malcontent. Or he’s an Islamist anti-Semite. Or he’s both.
Another character calls America’s foreign policy preemptive na?veté, that
rests on the assumption that everyone in the world would like to live in Dayton, Ohio, under one god, no prizes for guessing whose god that is.
It appears that John Le Carré has reached the point in his life when there is no time for subtlety, no good reason to hold back or shade the truth. In the hands of a less talented writer this might tip the scales from art to propaganda. And supporters of America’s foreign policy might view Absolute Friends in that light. But I suspect most will find, as did this reviewer, a wonderfully entertaining and courageous book.

About London, England, Non-conformist Registers, 1694-1931
In the 16th century the Church of England (Anglican Church) was established as a reformed version of Catholicism. This became the state church. Individuals remaining loyal to the church in Rome were referred to as Roman Catholics. Yet there were others who broke off from Catholicism all together and became part of the Protestant movement, including Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Baptists, and Methodists. These people became known as Non-Conformists because of their non-conformity to the state religion. Generally speaking, the word “non-conformist” refers to any group that did not conform to the Church of England, including Roman Catholics, Jews, Quakers, Unitarians, the Salvation Army, the Protestant churches already mentioned, and simply non-religious people.
About this Collection:
This data collection contains baptism, marriage, and burial registers from 1694-1921 for many Non-Conformist churches in the greater London area.
Records are typically arranged in chronological order and may contain the following information:
- Name of child
- Baptism or birth date
- Mother’s name
- Father’s name
- Spouses’ names
- Fathers’ names
- Ages at time of marriage
- Marriage date
- Name of deceased
- Age at time of death
- Burial or death date
Specific source citations, including call and microfilm numbers, are provided on the record level for each entry.

Sydney is probably the most recognisable city associated with Australia, it is a major gateway to Australia and has lots of world famous landmarks and famous beaches. I have been lucky enough to travel to Sydney on many occasions with my work.
With the airline I work for we stop over in Sydney for about 36 hours, and stop in Singapore for 48 hours on the way to Sydney and stop back in Singapore again on the way back. The Singapore/Sydney trip is a 9 day trip and is actually one of my favourite trips to do with work, as I love both Singapore and Sydney and they have both started to feel like second homes now.
The first time I went to Sydney with work I was so excited as I had never been to Australia before, and couldn’t wait to go exploring. On my first ever trip to Sydney I actually got to spend 3 days there as unfortunately for our passengers our aircraft went tech, and parts had to be flown over from London Heathrow. I have to admit I was over the moon to get some extra time in this exciting city.
Since my first ever trip to Sydney I have done many more Singapore/Sydney trips and always try to visit an area or place that I haven’t been to before. My brother in law lives in Adelaide and on one particular trip I bought my husband along and my brother in law flew up from Adelaide to meet us which was great, as I love having a layover with family it makes it feel like a mini holiday, even though I was really tired we packed lots in, and met up with some of my husbands friends that now live in Sydney too.
Sydney has so much to offer from beautiful beaches and bays, to world famous surf spots and landmarks. Sydney has a really cool vibe and there is always something going on in the city.
Sights & Activities
Most people I speak to seem to prefer Manly Beach to Bondi Beach. I think maybe I’m one of the rare few that actually prefer Bondi Beach. I just think Bondi is so iconic all around the world, and has so much to see and do there, it really does have something for everyone. It has lots of street art to admire, surfing or watching surfers, and lots of cafes, bars, restaurants and shops. Even if your not a big fan of swimming in the Ocean you can swim and relax at the ocean pool at Icebergs Club.
I really love the atmosphere around Bondi it’s got a really cool laid back atmosphere to it, but with a bit of a quirky edge. Even if your not a surfer just going to the beach and sunbathing here is great, I have been to Bondi on several occasions and always have a great time there.
Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk
The coastal walk between Bondi Beach and Coogee Beach was one of the best coastal walks I’ve ever done. We started from Coogee Beach and walked to Bondi Beach it is approximately 3.5 miles, and takes just short of 3 hours to walk, it is a leisurely walk taking in many bays, rock pools, cliffs and coves along the way and lots of breathtaking scenery.
This is one of my favourite things I’ve done in Sydney, I went when I took my husband and my brother in law and their friend that lives in Coogee took us along the walk, and we also had some of the other crew that I was working with join us. It was a beautiful sunny day when we went and we had breakfast then headed off for the walk, we took our time and stopped to admire views and take photos. I cannot recommend this walk enough it is an absolute must do in Sydney!
Sydney’s Chinatown is like most other Chinatowns around the world, the Main Street which is Dixon Street is the heart and soul of Chinatown, it has a huge selection of Asian eateries and shops. As Sydney can be quite pricey this is the place to go to get cheap eats if you are on a budget and craving some Asian food.
The Main Street also has some ornate gates either end of the street which are decorated with dragons, bamboo tiles and golden writing. If your in Sydney for a while I would recommend having a stroll through Chinatown, and not too far from the Main Street is Paddy’s Market.
Circular Quay is one of the main tourist hubs in Sydney, with many of Sydney’s main landmarks located within the area. The Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and The Rocks are all located within this horseshoe cove.
Circular Quay was once where Australia’s first European settlers came and was once home to ex convicts, sailors and whalers and had lots of brothels and pubs. Today it is home to upmarket bars and restaurants offering champagne breakfasts overlooking the opera house, lots of street performers and the many tourists and locals coming in and out on the many ferries that run from the harbour.
Circular Quay is a bustling vibrant area of Sydney, I always really enjoy having a wander around the Quay and seeing what’s new, sometimes it’s lovely to just sit and relax with a drink and watch a cruise ship coming in.
Sydney City Hall was constructed between the mid to late 1800s. It’s function and use is very different today and is mainly used now for meetings, events and exhibitions and is home to the council and civic offices. When exploring Sydney try to stop by this historical building in the heart of the city centre.
Darling Harbour is a former dockland which was regenerated in the 80s and is now home to a numerous amount of restaurants and cafes. It has lots of Sydneys tourist attractions such as a Sealife Aquarium, Sydney Wildlife Zoo, Madame Tussaud’s and various museums and parks.
Darling Harbour is an upmarket area of Sydney, I enjoy wandering around Darling Harbour and grabbing a drink here, however I wouldn’t recommend spending too much time here it’s great to wander around maybe for an hour or 2 but you won’t find the authentic Sydney experience here it’s more purpose built and office spaces.
If your in Sydney during Australia Day go to Darling Harbour as they normally put on lots of family friendly activities and entertainment, and some years have beautiful firework displays on in the evening which is a perfect way to finish off the day.
Manly Beach is Sydney’s second most famous Beach after Bondi Beach. Over a mile long stretch of golden sand beach makes up Manly Beach and lined by pine trees. Manly Beach attracts lots of tourists and locals, every time I have visited Manly it’s always been busy that’s one reason why I tend to prefer Bondi as I always find it less busy.
Manly Beach however is still iconic to Sydney and is a must visit on any Sydney Itinerary. I do love wandering down the Main Street of Manly and looking in all the shops which sell a selection of clothes as well as souvenirs. Manly also has lots of cafes and restaurants that line the beach front.
Paddy’s Market is located right next to Chinatown in a large brick building. It has a variety of take away or eat in food options. Paddy’s Market is ideal for budget conscious travellers looking for a bargain. It is a traditional market and offers women’s fashion, kids clothes, accessories, jewellery, food, souvenirs, gadgets, and lots more. Paddy’s Market in Haymarket is open Wednesday – Sunday, and is a great market selling a variety of products.
Royal Botanical Gardens
The Royal Botanical Gardens are a free attraction which expand over a huge area of Sydney, you can enter these gardens next to the Opera House. The gardens have a huge array of plants and trees from both Australia and the rest of the world. The gardens were created in 1816, and is steeped in history. There are several free walking tours from November to March, and aboriginal tours are also available for approx AUS$40 per person.
When I visited the gardens it was on my first visit to Sydney and we wandered through the gardens in the morning before heading to the Opera House. If your only in Sydney for a short period of time I wouldn’t make the Botanical Gardens a must do on your itinerary unless your an avid gardener. However if you do have time I would suggest walking through the gardens while visiting the Opera House – time permitting.
The Rocks is located in Circular Quay, and has lots of old buildings and quirky lanes which is quite rare for Sydney as many of the cities buildings are modern and high structures and more high tech buildings being built, its great to see The Rocks being maintained and preserved.
The Rocks used to be a maritime hub and was known in the old days for its open sewers and dingy alleyways, since the 1970s it has been transformed into a tourist hub. The Rocks is now home to some amazing restaurants, bars and pubs.
As well as having lots of places to eat and drink there is some gorgeous little boutiques, and also has a weekend artisan market which has stalls selling local arts, crafts and food. On Fridays there is a foodie market which has lots of street food and local products available, and during the month of December there is a Christmas market.
The Rocks also hosts many festivals and live music events, and there are several museums and galleries to visit, The Rocks is the cultural core of Sydney and should be on every Sydney itinerary.
Watson’s Bay is a quick 15/20 minute ferry ride from Circular Quay. Watson’s Bay is a quiet suburban area of Sydney which is a lot less well known compared to other beaches in Sydney.
On one of my trips here I got the ferry over with one of my colleagues, and we had the most lovely day. As we arrived during lunch time we started our day at Doyle’s Fish and chips take away, and then wandered along the South Head Heritage Trail which took us past Lady Bay, which to our surprise was a nudist beach, we didn’t go down to it as we didn’t know where to look. We carried on over to the Hornby Lighthouse which has breathtaking views over the cliffs below and out the vast Pacific Ocean.
After having a little walk we decided to go and sunbath at Camp Cove which has the most gorgeous beach and calm clear waters which makes a change from both Bondi and Manly’s crashing waves. There is a small beach bar located at Camp Cove, if your needing some rest and relaxation, this is the beach for you.
Wildlife Sydney Zoo
The Wildlife Sydney Zoo is located in Darling Harbour next to the Sydney Sea Life Aquarium. This is a small zoo which houses lots of Australian native insects, reptiles, snakes and other small critters as well as having kangaroos and koalas. It’s a small zoo in comparison to Taronga Zoo which I still haven’t been too, however if your short on time and want to see some Australian wildlife without leaving the city this is a great little zoo.
You can purchase combo packages too with the Aquarium next door, if your just wanting to visit the zoo it was AUS$40 per person, I visited here on my first trip to Sydney when we were delayed and we spent a few hours here and really enjoyed it.
Food & Beverage
Bondi Icebergs Club
When visiting Bondi then a trip to Bondi Icebergs Club is a must, on weekends it is absolutely heaving as it offers great value casual bistro dining with excellent views over Bondi Beach. If you don’t fancy eating here then you can just go in for a drink as there are 2 bars inside.
As well as having a restaurant and bar you can pay to access the famous Ocean Pools which were the Bondi Baths, and have been there for over a 100 years in your ticket price you also get access to the sauna. When I visited Icebergs I went there for lunch and got a lovely salad, the portions are big here I ordered a side of chips with my salad that I really didn’t need.
City Extra boasts an amazing location in Circular Quay with great views overlooking Sydney Harbour Bridge with both outside and indoor seating areas. It’s a great spot with incredible views and also good for people watching. The food is modern and delicious and not only is it a great place for dinner but also a great for breakfast too. The food is also reasonably priced considering it’s location. Its also open 24 hours a day so even if your jet lagged and can’t sleep this is a great find to come and grab some food or drink.
Coogee Bay Hotel
Coogee Bay Hotel is a little gem right on the beachfront of Coogee it has a really friendly and casual atmosphere. It’s great to come here for drinks or dinner. We came and had a few drinks at their beach bar and also ordered some food from their menu which serves up comfort food that is affordable. After dinner my husband, brother in law and some of their friends and crew sat outside enjoying some drinks, we really loved the mood here and the view of the beach.
Doyle’s is situated in Watson’s Bay and was set up and is still run by the Doyle family since 1885. They serve up a selection of seafood dishes and delicacies. They have their restaurant which is Doyle’s on the Beach which is more up market sit down restaurant, or if that is a bit out of your price range, go to Doyle’s on the Wharf takeaway which is just opposite the restaurant, and also has some seating but is more laid back and affordable, we ordered some fish and chips and it was delicious and great value.
However if your a big fan of seafood and want something special I would suggest reserving a table at Doyle’s on the Beach, try to book in advance as it gets extremely busy. Doyle’s is associated with Watson’s Bay and is well know by many locals and tourists.
Fish Shack Is situated in Manly directly opposite the beach and serves up fish and chips either as a takeaway option or you can sit in. They also sell drinks here too so if you fancy a cold beer that’s close to the beach then this place is for you.
I am obsessed with Gloria Jeans! They are a coffee shop chain situated all over Sydney and the rest of Australia, they are kind of similar to Starbucks. I always love their cold iced drinks which change seasonally, Gloria Jeans offer up great pick me up drinks and snacks which are great for on the go.
Kazbah overlooks Darling Harbour and specialises in Middle Eastern cuisine such as grills, meze, sharing platters and tagines etc. It’s interior is sleek and stylish and has touches of Moroccan flare.
North Bondi Fish
North Bondi Fish is my favourite bar in Sydney and sits overlooking Bondi Beach. It is a bar but serves up fresh and delicious food, and amazing cocktails and on a weekend there is a DJ. North Bondi Fish just oozes cool and is full of the most beautiful people I have ever seen. Their cocktails and sharing jugs are so tasty and easy to drink I usually always loose track of time in there.
Olivo is set overlooking Darling Harbour and when your jet lagged and craving a decent breakfast this is my go to place. Their breakfast is fresh and tasty and affordable and always hits the spot. It is an Italian restaurant and has a great menu on offer for lunch and dinner too.
As you may have guessed Opera Bar is situated just by the Opera House. Opera Bar is always busy with both tourists and locals, it has amazing views overlooking the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Opera Bar on a hot sunny day is the place to be in Sydney, and I always like to come here for a glass of prossecco. Sunset at Opera Bar is always pretty magical and I can’t recommend this bar enough.
Ribs & Burgers
Located in the heart of the Rocks is Ribs and Burgers and you guessed it, it just sells ribs and burgers but done really well. It’s a casual restaurant you order at the till and orders are cooked up fresh. Staff here are really friendly and welcoming and the outside seating area is perfect on a warm day. They also offer take out and delivery too.
The Glenmore is a heritage listed building and has been in The Rocks since 1912. It is a popular watering hole and had a large refurb a few years back. The rooftop bar is great and has amazing views across the harbour. The Glenmore is also a great spot for a casual lunch on the rooftop.
We went to the Tropicana Cafe in Coogee before walking along the Coogee to Bondi coastal walk. I’m not normally a huge fan of breakfast but the breakfast at the Tropicana Cafe was one of the best I’ve ever had, I had the chicken breakfast wrap and it was absolutely delicious. I would recommend starting your day off here before heading off on the coastal walk if your starting from Coogee.
Transport & Getting Around
Sydney is really easy to get around once you get used to it. Sydney has lots of public transport available from buses, trains and ferries. I always tend to try and get ferries when visiting the various beaches and bays in Sydney, as I find it easy to leave from Circular Quay.
The Opal Card is widely available throughout Sydney and can be purchased and topped up in many newsagents around the city. The Opal Card is capped at AUS$15.80 per adult for a day of travel on all public transport.
I would suggest before travelling to Sydney or venturing out for the day to plan your public transport, as there are quite a lot of options, it can be quite daunting for someone who isn’t familiar with the city, and Sydney is quite spread out. You can plan all your travel plans online at Transport New South Wales.
Sydney is a great city and iconic all around the world. It’s best in the Australian spring and summer, I have spent time in Sydney when the weather wasn’t great and I have to admit it does loose some of its charm when the weather isn’t great.
This city has lots to offer, but it’s also one of the cities you don’t have to spend weeks getting to see everything. You could easily spend a day or 2 exploring the city and a bit more time if you want to spend time on Sydney’s many beaches and coves.
Sydney is quite expensive so be prepared this is not a cheap city. However a lot of the main sites and attractions are free, such as the Opera House. I would recommend sitting at Opera Bar at the Opera House and treating yourself to your favourite tipple and enjoying the view of this iconic building on a sunny day.
I would also recommend if you are strapped for time in the city but would like to see some of the beaches and coves then try and squeeze in the Bondi to Coogee Beach Walk, it takes about 3 hours but you will take in so many beaches and coves along the way and can see two of Sydney’s famous beaches, which is great if you don’t have much time and gives you a taste of the beach life in Sydney.
One last tip would be if your flying into Sydney, then prior to landing make sure to look out the window of the plane, as you get the most spectacular views of the Blue Mountains and the coastline of Sydney.

Upon coming to terms with the exceptional caliber this album bears, one must be prepared for the exploration of piercing effects that may otherwise be considered a test of endurance. Altissimo reeds and metallic scrapes embody what initially appears to resemble a barrier of the heaviest duty; an obstacle that deflates the feathery vocals and steady tambourine shakes that undulate softly below the album’s jarring, stannic surfaces. In alternate contexts these high pitched waves are often used to expand atmospheric ugliness or disrepair; in the cascades of a blistering noise piece or saturated guitar feedback, which can render them objectionable. However, when they come embedded within Ashley Paul’s cautious, meager and withdrawn song writing, they echo a warning, a sonic aposematism. One of the most appealing aspects of Line the Clouds is that it wholeheartedly challenges the instinctive reactions such scraping and screeching often bring about – it incorporates these sounds into the delicate framework of a record soaring with freakish grandeur, where such tones reflect an aesthetic preference brought about by introverted qualities. As as a consequence, that allows for a redefinition of what beauty might constitute in a broader setting; from the faint and wavering scrape of Wide Expanse, to the grinding drench of Black and Blue and the acoustic jamboree of Feb 21., there is enough tonal discord on here to create startling offense from the outset, but with patience and examination, therein lies a trove of resplendent reward.
Ashley Paul is a multi-instrumentalist and experimental composer based in Brooklyn, New York. Line the Clouds is her third solo effort for Eli Keszler’s R.E.L records and it follows last year’s sensational Slow Boat, which was released on Brookyln’s own Orange Milk. Paul’s latest release sees her teaming up with both Eli Keszler and long time collaborator Anthony Coleman in creating a suite of material that touches on free improv, unorthodox composition and avant garde jazz. This makes for a tricky combination of genres to be working across, and Paul operates on the fringes of each one, tapping into structures that work for her and conforming them to misshapen takes, where vocals are used as a secondary means in pursuing the emotions she wishes to convey. Though she sings eloquently of tear drops, dreams and determination, her instruments make for the most elaborate unveiling of emotive intent. This is brought to the fore most radically through pitch height, which one learns to overcome, step by step, as intrusive resonance washes between the underlying music like a crystalline tide covering a shore of glistening pebbles.
Black and Blue presents the most fascinating examples of this. The song’s opening half is poured across singular tone feedback, which acts as a launch pad for three high notes that are played on a clarinet somewhere between tender guitar plucking and uneven vibration. Strings are deployed so delicately that the bow hair can be physically felt as it rushes back and forth – the sensation is intoxicating. One’s initial reaction is to move away from a sound that initially appears so aggressive, but upon confrontation it proves genuinely pleasant, almost addictive – the way that the feedback dies down and delicate strains become layered is simply dazzling; where long strokes turn into short, sharp bursts of energy and a static exhalation can be heard in the distance. The charm lies in the detail, and such instances can be found all over Line the Clouds. On Wolf Laurel, a favorite for this writer, similar tactics are deployed in unwrapping fermata sequences as though the notes could stretch on forever, when the they do break apart over fumbled guitar strings, several seconds of quiet reflection are permitted before the process repeats itself. It’s as though one has time to examine those high pitched tones up close and personal, magnifying glass in hand – there is not need to rush, no need to move away.
When these otherwise uncomfortable sounds come into contact with Paul’s voice, the shrillest of tones somehow complement the accompanying instrumentation. Assorted incognito scrapes open Wrap Me Up, before the vocals are revealed, spread across of a number of layers; two are high in pitch while the third embodies a gruff underlay – “way out west, you’ll find me / wrap me up” she sings softly before Keszler’s unmistakable percussion ensues. The singing is also remarkably off kilter, that if one were to search for contemporary comparison, Laurel Halo might unwittingly fit the bill – the way that Halo’s forceful and dented pitch achieves an uneasy, human contrast to her warm electronic scores is similar to how Paul pushes her lyrics gently past acoustic compositions. The major difference here is that there is no immediate contrast to the human aspects of her voice, there are no electronics, and that creates an entirely fresh musical mood that diverges substantially from Halo’s. Paul demonstrates this beautifully on Watch Them Pass, a track that depicts her fragile lyrics peaking over the top of some wonderful guitar strings and gentle sax – the track is almost acoustic ambient and, because of its lack of tinnital qualities, makes for the perfect opportunity to focus on the outstanding allure of Paul’s vocal stylings, which are fragile, but carry with them a great deal of weight, even at a tender whisper.
The feel of the album encompasses an overwhelming voyage, where intricately detailed treasures have been deposited in a space that pulls on an incredible range of influences. Line the Clouds is its very own boutique gallery packed with graceful and bewitching artifacts, complete with a most exclusive defense mechanism; the shrill effects some will no doubt find off putting. But like the piercing violins of Takemitsu’s The Woman in the Dunes, or the blistering screech of Penderecki’s Threnody, those explorations into the wild embody mesmerizing detail and wonder. In this case, such instances are presented in a careful arrangement of instruments, from bells and crotales to clarinet and saxophone, which are cast in an acoustic interplay of abstract plumbing, where muddled strings complement anxious vocals. At a time when software ruthlessly directs those at the forefront of production, a shimmering challenger lurks in the bustling depths; for despite all the warning signs, Line the Clouds sounds so incredibly human, without the slightest inclination of wanting to be anything else.

If you’ve just been given a serious diagnosis, such as late-stage cancer, your first thought is likely about what treatment options you have. At the same time, though, you also want to think about what else you need to do in case that treatment does not work or doesn’t go as well as you hope.
This is where estate planning becomes so important. There are many ways it can help, such as those noted below.
You can make your medical wishes clear
As your disease progresses, it may become harder to communicate regarding your medical care. You can use a living will to tell your doctors what types of treatment you don’t want and what ones you do. You can give them instructions for certain situations that may arise. You can also use a power of attorney to give a family member the ability to make other decisions that you didn’t anticipate. You know you’ll be in good hands.
You can detail your plans for your estate
You can also tell your heirs what you want to happen with your financial assets and your physical assets, such as the family home. They can benefit from direction at such an emotional time, and creating an estate plan reduces the odds that any of your heirs will get into a dispute. Like your medical team, they will really know what you desired for your family.
Setting up your plan
If your diagnosis has shown you that you have a lot of estate planning you still need to get done, take the time to carefully consider all of the options that you have.


Walter Russell Mead is getting it right about the utter selfishness of the boomer generation and how it is bankrupting our governments, thus leaving government incapable of public services for the next generation.
This story is about more than just high gas prices or taxes. It’s yet another case of the boomer generation stealing from younger generations. Besides promising themselves fat pensions that they refused to save money or tax themselves to pay for, the boomers let the country’s infrastructure run down. The next generation is already staggering under a rising tax burden, student loan debt, and retirees’ massive health care bills. On top of all this, they now have to pay through the nose just to keep the roads, bridges, and tunnels in good repair after years of neglect and deferred maintenance.

Aging with Grace: Mastering Professional Trading at 45+
17 November 2023
This article was sent to us by Isabella Jon [email protected]
but failed to complete the deal
In the ever-evolving world of financial markets, the pursuit of professional trading expertise knows no age boundaries. Age 45 and beyond, with a wealth of life experiences and a measured perspective, can be the perfect stage to venture into professional trading. If you ever wanted to master professional trading with grace as you age, focusing on Know-How Academy, an institution dedicated to customizing its offerings to cater to the distinctive capabilities and aspirations of its students is the right thing, and this is why.
The Ageless Allure of Professional Trading
Professional trading is an arena where age is but a number. Those aged 45 and above bring to the table a unique set of skills and qualities that are invaluable in the trading world.
Wisdom and Patience
With the passage of time comes wisdom, and wisdom often brings with it a patience that is vital in trading. The ability to wait for the right opportunities and exercise restraint in the face of market volatility can be a substantial asset.
Discipline and Emotional Control
Trading requires discipline and emotional control. Years of life experiences can lead to better emotional management, reducing the chances of impulsive decisions that often plague younger traders.
Those in the 45+ age group frequently adopt a long-term perspective in trading, which can be an advantage for strategic investments, retirement planning, and wealth accumulation over time.
The Essence of Professional Trading
Professional trading is not merely about making bets or forecasting market movements; it involves mastering a set of fundamental skills that form the foundation of trading success.
Effective Risk Management
Effective risk management is at the heart of professional trading. Individuals with a 45+ age bracket often have a strong understanding of risk management principles, thanks to their life experiences.
Emotional control is another crucial aspect. Traders of all ages can be swayed by emotions, but older traders tend to exhibit more emotional resilience, allowing them to make rational decisions in the face of market turbulence.
A systematic approach to trading is the key to consistency. The discipline gained over the years can make it easier to adhere to a well-defined trading plan.
