It can be hard finding the time to spend time in a food forest, let alone three years! With that in mind, over the past three years, I’ve taken a series of 700 photos of the food forest here and produced a short video so that you can experience what I see on a daily basis. The farm is in a temperate climate in the mountains of the south eastern corner of Australia (to the north of Melbourne) and I have two food forests growing here. One is a more shady food forest which contains the apples, pears, citrus and nut trees and that is the food forest shown in the video. The other food forest contains the apricots, plums, peaches, nectarines and almonds and that is in a more sunny location.
The farm is at a reasonable altitude and the seasons can be very variable – as you’ll notice in the video (there is even the occasional heavy snowfall). The herbage underneath the fruit trees does contain grasses, but also many, many other plant species and you will notice that even during the extreme record breaking heat and dry of earlier this year (January and February) that the herbage still contains many patches of green which is almost unheard of around these parts. The animal systems in the food forests, other than the chickens of course, comprises all of the native wildlife, many of which call this farm their home. Every year the wildlife gets more diverse with the number and diversity of species and it is a real pleasure to be able to share this farm with them all.
Editors Note: When we said to Chris – I saw you had a wombat there 3/4 of the way through, great work by the way. Did you bring the wildlife back or were they always pottering around your property?
Chris replied with;
What a great question about the wildlife here. The wildlife here forms the animal systems on the farm (although there are also chickens! and bees) and what I’ve noticed is that “feed and water them and they shall come” applies and every year the farm is a little bit more complex and diverse in relation to the various bird, plant and animal species. I spotted a new bird species yesterday which I’d never seen before: Eastern Rosella. We usually get the Crimson Rosella’s, but not this one… Years ago when the soil was a hard clay pan, you’d be lucky to spot any birds and animals here at all.
Hope you all enjoy the video.

Chris lives on an organic farm which is not connected to the electricity grid, at an elevation of about 700m (2,300ft) above sea level in the Macedon Ranges of Victoria, Australia. There are about 300 fruit trees (honestly, I lost count after 300), heritage chickens, berries, vegetables, flowers and herbs all on 22 acres of cool temperate tall eucalyptus forest.

The Ukraine crisis jeopardizes US President Barack Obama’s efforts to enlist Russia’s cooperation on a range of issues, including seeking an end to Syria’s civil war, halting Iran’s nuclear ambitions and facilitating the withdrawal of US and allied forces from Afghanistan.
If Obama’s handling of the crisis reinforces doubts about his toughness in addressing foreign challenges, as some critics say, it could affect a more diverse range of issues: Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, North Korea’s nuclear weapons advances and China’s increasingly aggressive regional posture.
The tense situation in Ukraine, with its echoes of the Cold War, has put Obama at the forefront of the crisis, as European leaders pressure Russia to drop military threats and withdraw forces from Ukraine’s Crimea region.
“President Obama faces the most difficult international crisis of his presidency,” former US undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns said in a conference call with reporters on Sunday organized by the Atlantic Council, a foreign-policy research organization based in Washington.
In addition to a growing confrontation with Russia, Obama faces an increasingly assertive China that is pressing territorial disputes and stirring rising nationalism in Japan and South Korea; resurgent Islamic extremism in Syria, Iraq and northern Africa; the nuclear negotiations with Iran and unrest in nations such as Egypt, Venezuela and Thailand.
The US president was to meet yesterday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has differed with Obama on how hard to press Iran on curbing its nuclear program and how flexible to be in negotiations with the Palestinians.
While moving diplomatically to pressure Russia, Obama is “wise” to recognize the limits on the US in this crisis and elsewhere, such as with Syria and China, said Richard Andres, a professor of national security strategy at the US National War College in Washington.
“This is one example of where we have reached the limits of our geopolitical power,” he said in a telephone interview. “We’ve seen a number of these situations recently, such as in Syria, where we made the decision not to intervene — which is something we wouldn’t have done in years past. For the last 20 or 25 years, we have seldom seen a crisis that we did not try to intervene in.”
“This crisis highlights the need for the US to adopt a realistic policy toward Russia consistent with the limits of US power, Andres said.
The Obama administration portrayed the president as forthright in his 90-minute telephone call on Saturday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a time when foreign allies have publicly expressed worries that the US is withdrawing from its international leadership role.
“The president was very strong” on the point that Russia needs to “roll back this invasion,” Kerry said on Sunday on CBS’ Face the Nation broadcast. “He made absolutely clear that this was unacceptable and that there will be serious repercussions if this stands.”
Former US ambassador to the Soviet Union Jack Matlock called that approach “ill-advised” because it fails to take into account the Russian leader’s psychology.
“Whatever slim hope that Moscow might avoid overt military intervention in Ukraine disappeared when Obama in effect threw down a gauntlet and challenged him,” Matlock, who was ambassador in the final years of the Soviet Union from 1987 to 1991, wrote in a commentary on his Web site.

Over the past month, I've made a couple of references to a project I intend to build up, and I ordered some of the parts last week.
The parts are starting to arrive. Below, for the wheels build:
H-plus-Son TB14 rims, F125 front hub, SL210 rear hub, spokes, nipples, and other parts from Brandon at BikeHubStore.Com. Brandon runs a small shop, and I think he runs the help chat from his cell phone because he's been available and helpful days and evenings. I especially like that he doesn't label things; the only labels on any of that stuff is a small one around the valve hole on the rims (and yes, they do come with that fetching lingerie cover).
Below, a couple of other deliveries.:
Lower right, some bling: an IRD crank with old-style flutings. I've had my eye on this for a while. Lower left, some stop-washers from Rivendell, so I can back-engineer the bar-end friction shifters on my current commuter to be downtube shifters. Above them, some anti-bling: an inexpensive Shimano Altus rear derailleur (see the link for the too-long description of why this might be a good idea). It will happily do nine speeds with the friction shifting I'm going to use.
The frame will be a Surly Cross-Check, which I've ordered from the excellent Dave Kim at Kim's Bikes (yes, I know some folks have had trouble with one of the staff there, but you don't have to deal with that person, and everybody there treats me like the rich uncle who leaves Franklins on the table when he leaves, including the Spanish-speaking mechanics in the back). He's collecting some other parts for me, too. The handlebar and brake levers will be ported over from the set I built up on the commuter: a Nitto B115, with drop-bar levers that will work vee-brakes (don't use your regular brifters for these, they don't pull enough cable).
Further developments as they arise.

Don’t Ever Look Back is a travel blog written by Amy and Kieron. We’re a couple in our twenties that were born, raised and currently reside in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
After our first international trip together in 2007, the travel bug bit us hard and it’s always been a case of “where to next?” – a question we often get asked by friends and relatives. Our dreams and our priorities right now revolve around travel and our aim is to significantly expand on the 13 countries we’ve visited over the past 5 years.
In July 2011 we set off on a five-month adventure around the world taking in the United States of America, Western Europe and a small part of South East Asia. The two of us did some amazing things including swimming with sharks in Hawaii, interacting with beluga whales, road tripping through the USA and Scotland and hiking on a glacier in Iceland. And that’s just the beginning of our adventures!
So far in 2013 Amy has visited Oman and South Africa and Kieron’s visited the United States again but already we’re craving to pull out our passports together and head overseas on another big adventure!
To find out more about the two of us, check out An Interview with Amy & Kieron.

The annual budget approved this week by the Central Wyoming College Board of Trustees had changed a little since it initially was proposed in May.
All of the changes were positive, however, resulting in more than a $3 million increase in the overall budget total, which rose from $30.7 million to $33.9 million.
Willie Noseep, CWC's vice president for administrative services, explained that the major monetary modification had to do with the acquisition of land in Jackson.
Earlier this year, Teton County voters agreed to spend $3.82 million from a special purpose excise tax to pay for property and architectural and engineering designs for a CWC center in Jackson.
Money from the tax won't start coming in until December, so the school will provide the cash for the property purchase using reserve funds for now.
The land chosen for the center - which is slated to serve students in culinary arts, nursing, allied health and outdoor education, as well as those seeking foundational courses, business degrees, entrepreneurial success classes and more - is located on Veronica Lane in Jackson, close to established mass transit lines in a developed area with commercial property nearby.
The land is across the street from a café called Picnic and around the corner form the main Jackson post office and the Albertson's grocery store.
An adjustment in Fremont County's assessed valuation will mean almost $100,000 more in revenue will come in through CWC's mill levies this year.
Noseep said local valuation first was estimated at about $611 million, but the most recent assessment increased that total to about $631 million.
"As soon as the estimate of the valuation goes up (it) increases our local valuation levels that come in through that levy," Noseep said.
He noted that the final valuation number won't be certified until later in the summer. If the total changes and impacts college revenues at that time, the budget will be adjusted again.
Noseep also pointed out that, while the assessed valuation is set to rise this year, it is much lower than it has been in the past.
"Two years ago... it went down approximately 27 percent," Noseep said. "That caused a drop of about $1.1 million (for us). That was a big cut that year in relation to our budget. And it happened at the same time as the state reductions."
A report from 2015 indicated Fremont County's assessed value was almost $917 million.
A new cosmetology program makes up the final change to CWC's budget for fiscal year 2018. Noseep said a grant-funded cosmetology professor started work July 1, with another faculty member - this one not funded by a grant - set to come on board in spring 2018.
The change should result in more tuition revenue, but it also adds corresponding expenses, both of which were added to next year's budget.
Noseep said cosmetology classes will be held at Styles School of Cosmetology in Riverton until a long-term plan is developed.
"We're in the process of going through a couple options," Noseep said.
One idea is to renovate the Professional Technical center or another building on campus.
In addition to the budget, the CWC board approved salary adjustments and staffing changes for 2018.
Noseep said the school's compensation plan doesn't anticipate any salary adjustments, though some increases for educational advancement may be forthcoming.
Staffing changes included the two new cosmetology professors as well as a new international recruiter position.
Another change moved a 10-month counselor/student success coordinator to a 12-month director of student success.

Now would be the time for fans of Bravo’s hit series ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ to get real excited. For reports have surfaced that the series that made Nene Leakes, Sheree Whitfield, and Phaedra Parks household names is now returning to screens on November 4th!
Indeed, the drama continues as the ladies are building their brands in their respective arenas and add new faces to the cast. Sheree Whitfield (who is reportedly shooting ‘Scary Movie 5′) and Kim Zoliciak are no longer part of the cast, instead being replaced by Kenya Moore and Porsha Stewart.
What drama ensues as a result of the change-up has yet to be seen, but we certainly will be watching to find out!

Man accused of burning 5-year-old with hot knife after she wets the bed
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A man has been arrested after police say he burned his 5-year-old granddaughter with a hot knife because she wet the bed, WDRB reported.
On April 10, 58-year-old Ramanbhai Patel, of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, was arrested and charged with first-degree criminal abuse, according to WDRB.
Police say his 5-year-old girl told her grandfather that she accidentally wet the bed. Patel then heated up a kitchen knife on a stove burner and twice placed the hot knife against the girl’s buttocks, “leaving two quarter-sized burn marks.”
The victim and another sibling have been placed in foster care by social services.


We comply with the laws and regulations of the Government of India. Ensuring the data sovereignty, security and privacy of our users has always been and will continue to be a top priority for us, a spokesperson from the company said
“There have been statements in the press concerning the possibility that TikTok might pursue legal action regarding the directive by the Government of India. We have no plans to pursue such action,” a spokesperson from the company said. “We are committed to working with the government to address its concerns. We comply with the laws and regulations of the Government of India. Ensuring the data sovereignty, security and privacy of our users has always been and will continue to be a top priority for us.”
After the Indian government banned 59 Chinese apps to send a strong message regarding the recent border skirmish, the apps themselves are contemplating formally representing their concerns to the Centre before any legal recourse.
According to two people familiar with the matter, a number of the currently banned Chinese app companies like ByteDance, UC Web, Moonton and Weibo among others said that writ petitions to the government are their last resort, if ban is not lifted after representations.
“First they want to clarify the data security concerns to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Meity). Some representations have already been made. Writ will be the last resort if nothing else works” said the first of the two people cited above.
A panel under Meity is currently hearing the representations.
“The basic two questions being raised by Meity are firstly the requirement of sharing user data with Chinese government. How many times such requests were raised and how many times were they complied with. Second lack of physical presence in India,” he added.
A third lawyer, who represents multiple apps in the banned list, said that since the companies do not have any intimation of what issues the government has found right now, they are considering sharing data flow diagrams, which tell the government who the benefactors for data they collect are. They may even submit to audits by companies empaneled by Cert-In. “The burden of proof has been passed onto the companies. They have to prove that they haven’t done anything wrong, as opposed to the usual, where the government has to prove that there has been wrongdoing,” the lawyer said.
Legislation in China requires companies originating in China to share user data, collected from across the world if requested by Chinese government or intelligence agencies
The govt banned 59 Chinese mobile applications, including top social media platforms such as TikTok, Helo and WeChat, to counter the threat posed by these applications to the country’s “sovereignty and security,” it said in a press release late on Monday.

There are many things you can do in Melbourne even if you are planning to travel with kids. With parks, museums to aquariums and zoos in every corner, your kids will never be bored (regardless of their age) and will be filled with excitement in Melbourne. You too can enjoy these attractions because they are well suited for adults as well. So, we have made a list of 10 kid-friendly attractions in Melbourne for you to visit on your next trip here! Also, don’t forget to check out the amazing deals of Cathay Pacific before you start booking your flights.
SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium.
SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium is one of the best aquariums in Melbourne to visit with your kids. Located in central Melbourne, this aquarium provides a home to more than 2000 marine creatures. The aquarium is divided into 4 levels, you will be able to see sharks, manta rays, jellyfish penguins and other creatures. You will also get a chance to interact with starfish, and even shark eggs! However, the highlighting marine creatures are grey nurse sharks and sea dragons.
Located in the Carlton Gardens of Melbourne, the Melbourne Museum is one of the best places that your kid can learn a bit of history of the city. The museum was opened in 2000 and today, the main highlight is the Science and Life Gallery with its ‘Dinosaur Walk’, which your kids will love as you can walk among the gigantic dinosaur fossils. Don’t forget to check out the live specimens of insects and bugs in the ‘Bugs Alive’, and the skeleton of the large pygmy blue well that is suspended from the ceiling. For smaller kids, there is the Pauline Gandel Children’s Gallery, which allows them to play with dinosaur fossils.
Melbourne Zoo is the place for all those animal-loving kids. It is easily accessible from the Melbourne city centre and you are required to book your tickets online even if you are a member. The Melbourne Zoo was established in 1862, so it is the oldest zoo in Australia. Since there are many attractions within the zoo itself, exploring everything within a single day is not possible with kids because they will get tired after a while. Today, it provides a home to more than 300 species of animals and this includes Sumatran tigers, elephants, kangaroos, hairy-nosed wombats, red pandas, giraffes, zebras and much more.
Collingwood Children’s Farm.
Located near the Yarra River, the Collingwood’s Children’s Farm is one of the best places in Melbourne to teach your kids about farm animals. They have cows, chicken, pigs and even sheep. You can let your kids touch them and even feed them. There are many activities for you to try, for example, the visitors are allowed to milk the cows every day at 10:00 am and 4:00 pm, and also bottle-feed the young or collect eggs from chicken.
Just as the name suggests, Scienceworks is a world full of science and technology. This is a great place to visit with kids who have curious minds or with ones who aspire to become scientists and technologists! Scienceworks was established in 1992, it offers you all kinds of activities starting from the planetarium to the Lightning Room which consists of an electrifying theatre. Your kids can ask about any doubts they have about how the things or the machines work here, the staff will be happy to answer all their questions.
ACMI Screen Worlds.
ACMI Screen Worlds or the Australian Centre of the Moving Image is the most visited museum of its kind in the world! Now if you are wondering what kind of a museum it is, it is dedicated to the history and the development of moving images. In other words, the ACMI Screen Worlds tells you the story of how films, television, video games and virtual reality came into the world. You can see old game sets here, TVs and even old tv shows that were telecasted in Australia decades ago.
ArtVo Trick Art Museum.
Located just a 5-minute walk from the city centre of Melbourne at Docklands, the ArtVo Trick Art Museum is something that should not be missed here, even if you are not travelling with kids. The whole museum is a thrilling and interesting experience. What you see here is interactive 3D art spread over 11 themed zones and these artworks will give you a lot of photographic opportunities. Unlike the other museums, the art can be touched by its visitors! There are more than 1000 artworks here than you can get on to a photo with you. But make sure to get the correct angle to get that perfect click.
This is more suitable for older kids and adults. The Immigration Museum is in the Old Customs House and displays the history of the people who immigrated to Australia over time. The main highlights are the Tribute Garden which honours the immigrants from over 80 countries and the Immigrant Discovery Center which allows its visitors to search whether they come from the immigrants.
Altona Miniature Railways.
This is such a fun activity to do with your kids in Melbourne. It is not open daily, only on every 3rd Sunday of the month as it is run by a club of volunteers who are in love with trains. These little trains are vibrant and the seating is comfortable. You don’t have to be afraid to try it out even with a small kid because the trains run slowly for 15 minutes.
Acland Street Cake Shops.
It is exactly like how it sounds, a street with cake shops. Acland Street is located just behind Luna Park and will be absolute heaven for your kids who have a sweet tooth! It is packed with all kinds of delicacies starting from the local ones to the European ones. There are many cake shops to choose from, you can try the Monarch Cakes, Acland Cakes and Europa Cake Shop.


text: One of the most interesting yet lesser-known motion picture collectible is the Exhibitor Book, Pressbook or Presskit. As exemplified by the Blade Runner Presskit above, containing 18 supplements (78 pp. in all, stapled together), 21 photos, which vary from 6 ¼ x 10” (16 x 26 cm.) to 7 ¾ x 10” (20 x 26 cm.), and the original printed studio envelope in which the presskit was mailed, its purpose was to help promote the film.

Do we need synchronization module between 2N UPS system supply STS? If don't have synchronization module, what happen?
It depends on what sources feed the bypasses of each ups and the type of STS. Both UPS need to have their outputs in sync for proper STS transfers. However some STS can transfer between two out of phase sources up to 180 degress out so you wouldn't need critical bus sync circuitry as a requirement. However its always ideal to keep both outputs synced if possible with a STS.
I would definitely install the sync module. In case of the STS switching over between two non synced phases, device PSUs could switch off. Also STS could 'refuse' to switch over at all.
As upsguy said this depends on the type of STS you have, but the sync box is a best practice.
In any case would recommend that you talk to your supplier / electrician.

20 November 1955
A 15-MINUTE R&B SEGMENT WAS PLANNED FOR ED SULLIVAN'S PRIME-TIME TV SHOW: LaVern Baker, The Five Keys, Bo Diddley along with sax player Willis ‘Gator Tail’ Jackson were roped in to represent the new face of black music. The story goes that Bo Diddley was heard running through a song called Sixteen Tons. Ed Sullivan was apparently so impressed that Bo was persuaded to perform it. But at show- time, the man known as The Originator played his signature own-name song instead. Bo said the misunderstanding was accidental, adding: “Ed Sullivan said I was one of the first coloured boys to cross him and I wouldn’t last six months.”
It’s not as if he disliked the song – he’d record it for 1960’s Bo Diddley Is A Gunslinger album. But he had no chance of recording the definitive version because Tennessee Ernie Ford had made it his own. On November 12, 1955, Ford’s Capitol single entered the US charts for the first time. Within a few days it had soared to Number 1. The fastest-selling single ever at that point, Sixteen Tons stayed in the prime spot for eight straight weeks and sold over four million copies.
Sixteen Tons had been penned in 1947 by country star Merle Travis for a 78rpm album of mining and work songs called Folk Songs Of The Hills. Travis’s father was a Kentucky coal miner who constantly reminded the family that he was “another day older and deeper in debt”, a saying that became an integral part of the song’s lyric.
“He was known as ‘the little old pea-picker’.”
A DJ who served as a bombardier in the war years, Tennessee Ernie Ford signed to Capitol as a recording artist in 1948 and had a country Number 1 in Mule Train the following year. A major crossover artist, he became a roots of rock contender through such records as Smokey Mountain Boogie (1949), Shotgun Boogie (1950) and Blackberry Boogie (1952). He even edged into the blues with I’ll Never Be Free and Ain’t Nobody’s Business But My Own, two duets with jazz singer Kay Starr played a lot on jukeboxes. A one-time regular on bandleader Cliffie Stone’s popular Saturday night show, he recalled that he got involved in the programme, “just for the heck of it. It was all for fun and I didn’t get paid a thing.”
People liked his voice, though, and he quickly gained a reputation as a singer who, while categorised under ‘country’, could handle just about anything that Capitol’s A&R team tossed his way. Known as the “little old peapicker” and presenting a homespun image, he became something of a TV personality, fronting his own daily show on NBC. Hauled into the studios to record a new single for Capitol, Ford was told he’d be “in breach of contract if I didn’t record soon”. Taking what he saw as the easy option, he decided to reprise You Don’t Have To Be A Baby To Cry and Sixteen Tons, songs he’d recently performed on his TV show.
A Monster Hit
Running through a rehearsal on the latter, Ford began snapping his fingers to set the tempo. Producer Lee Gillette liked the effect, suspecting that the finger-click might help sell the record. He was right. Sixteen Tons sold over one million copies in three weeks, creating the monster hit that caused Billboard to announce, on November 26: “Capitol is happily experiencing an unprecedented breakdown in its release schedule. Due to pressure on its plants to keep up with orders on the Ford disc the company will skip releases for the next three weeks.”
But for Ford, life in the pop charts was brief, though he delivered country chart entries through to the late ’70s, and turned increasingly to gospel music in his later years. Elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1990, he died from whiskey-induced liver failure a year later.
Tennessee Ernie may be long gone, but Sixteen Tons’ legacy lives on in recordings by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Eric Burdon, Stevie Wonder, Tom Jones, Charlie Daniels, Leon Russell, Johnnie Taylor, The Platters and many others. And in 1980 The Clash set out on an extensive trek dubbed the Sixteen Tons Tour. The band referenced the famed work song, they said, because the lyric echoed the then assets-frozen band’s own financial position – “another day older and deeper in debt”. Some sentiments, they just don’t age.

Purpose Great Pyrs & Paws Rescue is a 501c3 organization with a network of volunteers across the United States. We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome unwanted, displaced, and neglected Great Pyrenees along with other Livestock Guardian dogs that are abandoned in high kill shelters throughout Texas. By placing them in caring and nurturing foster homes we are able to successfully adopt them to loving homes throughout the Western United states. Our mission is to engage community members to promote better treatment of these dogs and reduce euthanasia numbers through adoptions, education, and other resources. Vision: GPPR is at the forefront of generating awareness concerning the mistreatment and over-population of Livestock Guardian Breeds.
Formed in April 2020 with support from National Great Pyrenees Rescue we received our 501c3 May 2020. With a start up volunteer base of approximately 70 individuals across the United States we've successfully adopted 100 Great Pyrenees and Pyr mixes to adopters across multiple states...and we've just got started! Our rescue focuses on finding forever homes for the Pyrs in Texas and in the Pacific Northwestern states, by placing them with fosters and adopters in Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico and California. The Great Pyrenees is one of the oldest livestock guardian dog breeds, and for hundreds of years they have been bred to think independently.

Leading economists and thinkers believe the black economy could well touch 50 per cent of the GDP if the situation is not handled on a war footing.
"While the actual volume of fake currency notes is low, this money is transacted at high velocity. People circulating it want to get rid of it fast. A lot of it is used for money laundering and to support illegal activities," Indian Council of Research in International Economic Relations director and chief executive Rajiv Kumar said.
According to the Reserve Bank of India ( RBI), forged notes were detected by the banking system in 2007- 08 to the tune of four fakes per one million notes in circulation.
Data released by the RBI in its annual report for the past eight years indicates that forged notes detected to total notes in circulation in India has been between three and six notes per million since 2000- 01.
While the numbers indicate an alarming situation, Prof Arun Kumar from the Centre for Economic Studies and Planning, Jawaharlal Nehru University, makes it even more dire: " On the face of it, it appears the fake money seized is what is actually in circulation.
However, what appears to be a mere 2 per cent figure is actually 20 times more. This widespread circulation of fake money leads to a deterioration in currency value.
This gives rise to illegal activities." Kumar, in his book The Black Economy in India, talks about the social disturbances that fake currency notes bring.
"According to my estimate, the parallel black money economy - that can be as much as 40 per cent of the GDP - gets 8 per cent of its income from illegal activities and 32 per cent from legal activities. It is growing in spite of reduction in tax rates and whittling down of the degree of regulation in the economy over the last two decades," he said.

Indonesia is an astonishing archipelago of around 17, 000 islands, consisting of a range of ecosystems from rainforests to tropical beaches, highland and lowland mountain areas, and even grasslands, all of which contribute to making it the second greatest biodiversity on the planet. The number of endemic species of both plants and animals far exceeds that of most other countries, but it is also being destroyed at a truly alarming rate. The incredible fertility of the soil is proving to be a double edged sword for the country, with their ability to produce a wide array of crops now being exploited by the global market, and vast swathes of the country being given over to destructive mono-cultures.
I visited Bali last year, and was dazzled by the variety of flora there, and I was curious to return to explore some of the less touristy islands, to see for myself more of the problems this stunning array of wildlife is facing. And hopefully, learn a little more about the solutions being implemented. I therefore organise to go and live and work with a permaculture garden near Salatiga, in the East of Java, the most densely populated of Java’s islands.
After landing in Jakarta, I take an 8 hour train to Yogyakarta, and through the window I am immediately introduced to the extraordinary, lush greenness of the country. Acres and acres of vibrant forests and hills blanketed in greenery, pass us by in a blur. Once in the city, it seems the concrete is barely able to contain the earth’s overflowing vitality, and life sprouts from the paving stones, creeping ferns reclaim walls and even the roads are starting to be softly overtaken by green. But the issues are also clear. Every city is strangled by 4 land motorways, clogging the air with pollution so thick you can taste it. Development is fast, unsympathetic and unstoppable. The population is booming, and it needs to be housed. And fed.
I arrive in Salatiga and find a mid-sized town with all of Indonesia’s usual charms and problems. Houses painted in candy-bright colours and ringed by banana trees, all of which is dulled by the grey dust pouring off the traffic speeding past day and night. The permaculture garden is set back, a little walk through some rice fields and heading into the hills. Suddenly, the air becomes clean and sweet, and the traffic roar is replaced the rustlings and chatterings of the forest.
The land looks wild and uncultivated, but it it is in fact, a garden, as the young men running the place are quick to tell me. They are all from Jakarta, passionate, well-educated, and saddened and inflamed by what is happening to their country. They decided that they would take action by showing that another way of living that is beneficial to the planet is not only possible, it’s preferable. So they have set up here, to live a life that is kind to the earth and enjoyable for them. It’s an idyllic prospect.
The basic premise of permaculture is a method of farming that mimics the patterns of nature, meaning it is sustainable, and through continued use, benefits the environment rather than depleting it. Mono-culture, the practice of intensively farming only one crop, destroys the natural ecosystem, as there is not a variety of food available to sustain a broad spectrum of insects and bacteria in the earth. This leads to a gradual depletion of the nutrients in the soil, and a breakdown of it’s structure, meaning it becomes necessary to maintain plant health through chemical means, further exasperating the issue. Mono-culture in Indonesia is mainly rice and palm oil, crops which are causing devastation across the country.
The boys in Salatiga are enthused by their visions of a permaculture future, as they explain their ‘food forest’ to me. It is based on a strictly ‘no-dig’ system, as leaving the soil alone is something they are evangelical about. The soil is left to improve it’s own structure and become rich in nutrients, through the breakdown of fallen leaves and dead insects etc, on its surface. They aid it by planting many nitrogen fixers, legumes such as Calliandra calothyrsus, with its beautiful, pink silken flowers, or pinto beans. The ground is already thick with spiky Mimosa pudica, another member of the Fabaceaea family, with it’s tiny, shimmering pom-pom flowers and peculiar, sensitive leaves.
They plant their forest to include as much height and variety of genus as possible, maximising food for animals and humans, ensuring a year-round canopy for wildlife shelter and a range of nutrients to rot down into the soil. It creates a virtuous cycle of production and once established, minimizes work for the farmers. As the boys continuously tell me, a real forest doesn’t need anyone to look after it, and it supports a much wider range of life than any field of rice or oil palm trees.
The forest is in early stages, so there is still some planting to do. We go out in the blazing heat and I help out with planting Bananas, Jack Fruit, Papayas and Mangos. There are endless Cassava plants, which is being touted as the eco-friendly carbohydrate alternative to rice, as it grows so quickly and is much more energy efficient. The forest is pulsing and throbbing with tangible life, as it should be. The boys live harmoniously with all the surrounding nature, in a simple wooden hut, all their energy provided by solar panels.
The whole experience is affecting beyond measure, really giving me a huge amount to ponder about where I want my horticultural career to take me. If I am going to work with plants, it has to be in a way that is beneficial to the planet, which unfortunately, large sections of the horticultural industry is not. There is an overuse of chemicals in the industry, heated greenhouses which waste huge amounts of energy simply so we can grow plants out of season, and we are becoming increasingly out of touch with the natural patterns. My 2 weeks in Salatiga has taught me how much I want to be a positive force in protecting the planet that produces all these beautiful plants that we admire so much.

We traveled to picturesque Christina and Chris' Lewes Delaware engagement shoot last week and we had a lot of fun and laughs while doing it! It was my first time in Lewes and now I see what the attraction is. It's about this historic town where the Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean meet. It's a walking town with lots of shops, restaurants and museums and has a really great vibe.
We were lucky to have a pier and beach very close to Christina's families beach home and went there first for some photos. We had some beautiful light for a little while but storm clouds starting moving in and killed our lovely sunlight. Fortunately, technology is on our side and we simply set up a couple of lights and made our own sun! The clouds in Lewes Delaware engagement shoot gave the sky a deep blue hue. It really helped set a mood for our sunset shots even though we didn't have a sunset.
We then took a drive into town and walked around the historic Lewes. It was dark at that point but with off camera lighting we were able to capture a bunch of fun images while we strolled around. We had such a great time with Christina and Chris! This is a couple that loves being together. I can't wait until their wedding at the Ben in Philly next June.

Withholding the choice of sodium valproate to young women with generalised epilepsy: Are we causing more harm than good?
PURPOSE: Although sodium valproate (VPA) remains the most effective antiepileptic for generalised and unclassified epilepsies, clinicians may be failing to discuss this treatment option because of guideline misinterpretation. Current guidelines recommend caution regarding teratogenic risks but do not advocate absolute avoidance. METHOD: We assessed VPA prescribing in young people attending a transition epilepsy clinic. We present six patients with idiopathic generalised epilepsy (IGE) in whom VPA had been initially avoided. RESULTS: Overall, the results were consistent with VPA's superior antiepileptic efficacy and ability to reduce harmful seizure-related complications. Young people denied of VPA showed prolonged periods of poor seizure control with medical, social and psychological complications. Following contraceptive counselling and VPA introduction, all six patients showed improved seizure control including seizure-freedom during follow-up of up to twenty-four months. There was also evidence of reduced seizure-related morbidity and improved educational and occupational functioning. Prior to referral, documentation revealed no discussion of VPA treatment options. CONCLUSION: Failure to prescribe valproate for IGE, particularly when another first-line treatment has failed, may not be in a young woman's best interests-particularly when they are most vulnerable to sequelae from uncontrolled seizures. Indiscriminate avoidance of valproate needs to be recognised as a misinterpretation of current epilepsy guidelines as it may harm young people. Although the use of valproate demands careful consideration, there remains a strong case to always discuss this medication because of its efficacy and potential to reduce seizure-related harm. Patients must be allowed to make their own informed decisions about effective epilepsy treatments.

Vincente Minnelli’s reputation is that of a stylist – someone who did not author his own screenplays, but who directed whatever the studio (usually MGM) assigned to him (usually musicals), and whose personal stamp, such as it was, consisted of the choices he made with regard to camera placement, lighting, staging, and décor. Being a great stylist, however, does not mean that a director has nothing to say. Looking at Minnelli’s film career overall – from 1942 through 1976 – I marvel at how often he showed an affinity for metaphysical subject matter: Heaven and Hell (Cabin in the Sky), guardian angels (Yolanda and the Thief), reincarnation (Goodbye Charlie, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever), and otherworldly realms (Brigadoon).
If you’re looking for a roadmap to Minnelli’s films, try Dante’s Divine Comedy. The director tends to see daily life as a “Purgatorio” from which we are occasionally granted glimpses of “Paradiso” (Heaven) and at other times dragged into “Inferno” (Hell). The descent into hell turns out to be one of the most frequently recurring motifs in the Minnelli filmography.
Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) is Minnelli’s first out-and-out masterpiece, a musical portrait of American family life at the turn of the 19th to 20th Century, with metaphysical undertones. Here, as in so many Minnelli films, the descent into hell is part of an initiation process, something through which a character must pass on the road to self-realization. The descent, a metaphoric one, takes place on Halloween Night. The descender is the family’s second-youngest daughter, little Tootie (Margaret O’Brien). “Inferno” is invoked by shots of a raging bonfire where Tootie and her fellow trick-or-treaters gather. Tootie’s initiation – her descent – takes the form of knocking on the door of her most-feared neighbor and then throwing flour into his face, which she does, before screaming and running away. By the time the film concludes, Tootie and her family will realize they have been living in “Paradiso” all along – if only they had known how to look. Heaven and Hell are states of mind.
In Minnelli’s musicals, “Paradiso” is most often invoked in dance sequences where partners achieve a perfect communion through movement. The most striking example would be Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse’s “Dancing in the Dark” in The Band Wagon (1953). There are similarly sublime sequences, involving Astaire or Gene Kelly, in Ziegfeld Follies (1945), An American in Paris (1951), and Brigadoon (1954). The other side of the coin, Minnelli’s descents into hell, include his famous nightmare sequences – Judy Garland’s dream in The Pirate (1948) where she envisions Kelly as “Mack the Black” surrounded by Inferno-like flames, or the “Coffee Time” nightmare in Yolanda and the Thief (1945). If you remember anything about Father of the Bride (1950), a non-musical, you probably remember Spencer Tracy’s hellish nightmare where he sees himself sinking as if on quicksand while attempting to walk the aisle on his daughter’s wedding day.
Minnelli’s films also have real-life hells. In An American in Paris, Hell is the decadent black-and-white party that all the characters attend just before the film’s conclusion. Gene Kelly’s character escapes that hell through a subjective vision – the “American in Paris” ballet which includes his Paradise-like dance by the fountain with Leslie Caron. Having descended into Hell, followed by a vision of Paradise, he returns with the spiritual strength to leave his corrupt surroundings, taking Caron with him.
The Band Wagon gives us a satirical vision of Hell – a pretentious theater director (Jack Buchanan) stages a musical version of “Faust,” complete with red spotlights, smoke bombs, and leaping paper flames.
Minnelli never abandoned the musical entirely, but in the 1950s, he gravitated to more realistic forms, e.g., melodramas. Tea and Sympathy (1956) was an adaptation of a stage play about a college boy (John Kerr) with gender issues. Prior to being initiated into heterosexual adulthood, he is forced to attend a frat boy “hell night” involving a bonfire that recalls Tootie’s descent into hell in Meet Me in St. Louis. Kerr also stars as a neurotic in Minnelli’s ensemble drama, The Cobweb (1955), in which his descents into hell take the form of nervous breakdowns.
Minnelli’s personal favorite of all his films was Lust for Life (1956), a biography of the artist Vincent Van Gogh. Vincente the filmmaker clearly identified with Vincent the painter, who makes the Minnellian descent into hell at least three times during the course of this film. Vincent’s first descent is into the actual physical hell-on-earth of a Belgian coal mine, where he ministers to the coal miners. His second descent is into a purely psychological hell, a breakdown that climaxes with the artist severing his own ear. His third and final descent is a shotgun suicide in a field ablaze with sunlight, surrounded by screaming crows.
Minnelli’s two movies about filmmaking, The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) and Two Weeks in Another Town (1962) give us two matching descents into hell. Both movies star Kirk Douglas (who also played Van Gogh) as an intensely creative filmmaker. In both movies, the descent consists of someone driving their car maniacally at breakneck speed. In The Bad and the Beautiful, it is a frenzied Lana Turner. In Two Week in Another Town, it is Douglas, with a scared-out-of-her-wits Cyd Charisse beside him in the passenger’s seat. Two Weeks in Another Town ups the ante by preceding Douglas’s suicidal drive with a hellishly decadent Roman party straight out of La Dolce Vita.
Why So Many Descents? The Orpheus Factor
The characters Minnelli identified with were generally artists or performers of some kind, or – if not actually artists – highly imaginative individuals like Tootie in Meet Me in St. Louis, or Emma in Madame Bovary (1949).
The archetypal artist in Western mythology is Orpheus, and the essence of the Orphic myth is his descent into Hell to rescue his lover, Eurydice. On their way to the upper world, Orpheus makes the mistake of looking back – he was warned not to do so – and Eurydice is lost to him. As artists, Minnelli’s protagonists are constantly reenacting variations on the myth of Orpheus and his descent.
The Minnelli film that most closely follows the Orpheus myth is also most likely his finest, Some Came Running (1959). The artist in this case is a novelist played by Frank Sinatra. His Eurydice is a bar girl played by Shirley MacLaine. At the film’s climax, the two of them descend into the most brilliantly realized of all of Minnelli’s hells, a nighttime carnival illuminated by infernal flashes of red and orange. Death (a stalker) follows them there, and MacLaine/Eurydice ends up taking a bullet on Orpheus/Sinatra’s behalf.
The ending of Some Came Running closely parallels the ending of An American in Paris, only in American in Paris, the Orpheus figure (Gene Kelly) succeeds in rescuing his lover (Leslie Caron) from her worldly hell.
Minnelli’s first credited film, Cabin in the Sky (1943), contains his most audacious variation on the Orpheus myth, a reversal of genders (another recurring Minnelli theme) in which a wife, Petunia (Ethel Waters), descends Orpheus-like into a hell-on-earth to rescue her husband, Little Joe (Eddie “Rochester” Anderson). In Cabin in the Sky, we get to see the actual Hell – with demons – and an actual Heaven – with angels, but the hell-on-earth I am talking about is a bar, Jim Henry’s, portrayed by Minnelli as a raucous den of iniquity. Petunia, a good Christian woman, would never ordinarily enter a place like this, but she does so – dressed and acting like a “sinner” – in order to redeem the soul of Little Joe. And she, too, succeeds.
How remarkable it is to see a master filmmaker expressing so many of his basic themes so fully in his first feature.
This post is dedicated to Eugenia Dillard with whom I have had many conversations over the years concerning these aspects of Minnelli’s work.

Wolverine fans who can't imagine anyone but Hugh Jackman in those famous claws will have to get the hell over it because the Aussie actor's run is coming to an end.
Jackman's final portrayal of the mutant arrives in theaters in 2017, but his departure will not necessarily mean an end to the "X-Men" spinoff series, Complex reports.
In an interview with MTV about the upcoming "Pan," the 46-year-old said his personal choice for a successor is “Legend” actor Tom Hardy.
I'm always like, 'I don't wanna make it too easy on the studio to replace me.' You know? I've still got one more [film] to do. I'm sure [the studios are] already talking about it, and there's some actor [the studio told], 'Shh, keep it quiet but we want you next....'[Hardy's] younger than me for sure... would be great.
Before 38-year-old Hardy or any other actor takes over for Jackman, the “Pan” actor will star in “X-Men: Apocalypse” and the third "Wolverine" movie, slated for release in 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Have you been struck with disbelief, as I have, at how Socialism is being embraced by Millennials in America?
This is due to revisionist historians writing their own version of American History. Actually, they rewrite the history of the entire world in much the same way.
I’m a baby boomer and sadly but inevitably, we are dying off. Many of our children, who are now grown, have not a clue about Socialism and how it invariably morphs into Communism.
They also do not understand that in a Communist State, belief in God is forbidden. The State demands the obedience and worship of its subjects.
They will NOT compete with God.
Our young people have been indoctrinated by Socialist professors on campuses across the nation. We send our children off to college, hoping that they get a good education – NOT A LEFTIST INDOCTRINATION.
And before the reader says to me “But we sent our children to Christian colleges” please understand that most of these institutions have been infiltrated by Left leaning professors as well. Can you say SOCIAL JUSTICE GOSPEL?
Our children do not understand that Socialism is an ideology, while Communism is the vehicle which must come into play to ENFORCE Socialism.
Many of the young people marching for Socialism and their undying love for Bernie Sanders, do not understand that their way of life in America – the things they own which they take for granted, would be luxuries under a Communist regime.
The Freedom to speak out against other points of view would be gone. Speaking against a Communist State will get one killed. But Bernie presents Socialism in a positive way, knowing full well that his adoring young followers are ignorant of what Socialism truly is, and the horrors of Communist Totalitarian regimes which have slaughtered Millions of people throughout history.
Tell your children to read a book published before 1960 about Joseph Stalin and how many people in Russia were slaughtered under his regime!
He was a monster who enjoyed watching the executions!
This article was written in “2016.” Sometimes Politico surprises me with truth – and this is one of those times.
How Did America Forget What ‘Socialist’ Means?
Marion Smith is executive director of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation in Washington, D.C.
With Obama cuddling up to Cuba, it’s time to remind ourselves of the evils of socialism.
In 1936, when Franklin Roosevelt sought reelection to the presidency, some of his critics labeled him a “socialist.” The charge was so incendiary that the White House moved quickly to rebut it, labeling it an accusation “which no patriotic, honorable, decent citizen would purposefully inject into American affairs.”
That was then. Today, in America, for the first time in nearly a century, socialism is not a dirty word, or a shunned label, for many people. On the contrary. President Barack Obama, with a minimum of controversy, has reopened relations with the unabashedly socialist regime in Cuba, demanding almost no concessions in exchange for becoming the first U.S. president in 88 years to visit the island. (Indeed, on the eve of the president’s arrival, Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared that Cuba—together with China—was committed to the “irreversibility of socialism.”)
Meanwhile, the overwhelming and seemingly improbable support among America’s youth for the 74-year-old Bernie Sanders—a self-described democratic socialist who once proudly defended communist dictatorships across the world—is the latest example of a historical illiteracy that treats socialism as a benign economic system that is more equitable and fair than capitalism. A Pew poll from June 2015 shows a staggering 69 percent of voters under 30 expressing a willingness to vote for a socialist for president of the United States. This was well before Sanders’ electoral successes in the early Democratic primaries. A more recent YouGov survey found that voters under 30 actually have a higher opinion of socialism (43 percent in favor) than they do of capitalism (32 percent in favor).
“For older people, socialism is associated with communism and the Soviet Union and the Cold War,” says Michelle Diggles, a senior policy analyst at Third Way, a liberal D.C. think tank. “The oldest millennials were 8 years old when the Berlin Wall fell. They have never known a world where the Soviet Union exists. … The connotations associated with the word ‘socialism’ just don’t exist with millennials.”
Watching the false hope of socialism be resurrected amid ignorance of basic 20th century history is particularly distressing for me. I am a millennial American myself, but I am also head of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation. I have dedicated my professional life to honoring the millions who paid with their lives so that totalitarian leaders could build their socialist “utopias.”
Many are still paying. Today, 20 percent of the world’s population continues to live under communist regimes, in China, Vietnam, Cuba, Laos and North Korea. These countries are some of the worst violators of human rights in history. China operates its own “gulag” system of labor camps for political prisoners. The Castros in Cuba—the Obama administration’s newest friends—routinely throw their opponents in prison, despite Raúl Castro’s misleading comments at his news conference with Obama on Monday. There remain more than 50 political prisoners in Cuba, which the Castro government denies.
Maybe we should have seen this loss of historical memory coming nearly 25 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Perhaps we should have heard the alarm bells of a 2011 Newsweek survey that reported 73 percent of Americans “couldn’t correctly say why we fought the Cold War” in response to a question taken from the official test for U.S. citizenship. Ignorance of socialism and America’s decadeslong struggle against it has become the norm, and the data suggest this norm will only harden as a generation of Americans pass away and national memory fades.
For a generation with no memory of bomb shelter drills or sledgehammers smashing the Berlin Wall to pieces, the sad reality of life under socialist rule has been forgotten, and the lessons of the Cold War have been relegated to the “ash heap of history” alongside communism. Instead, the concept of socialism has often been confused with liberalism. Socialism seems like a fine idea that means a more social equitable society for everyone—free health care and free education for starters. Socialism conjures the image of a place like Sweden and Denmark, which contrary to popular belief, are not socialist systems at all. In fact, Danish Prime Minster Lars Lokke Rasmussen responded to claims by Senator Bernie Sanders that the Scandinavian countries were socialist by saying: “Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy.”
Socialism is not roads, welfare, and free education. Socialism has always had a more ominous goal and shares close historical and ideological connections with more reviled terms: Marxism and communism. Karl Marx took socialism to what he viewed as its natural conclusion: The “abolition of private property.”
Class warfare is a long-running theme in socialism, even in this country. American socialist (and failed presidential candidate) Eugene Debs promised a world where “no man will work to make a profit for another.” Even earlier, French socialist Jean Jaurès lamented: “All this misery, all this injustice and disorder, results from the fact that one class monopolizes the means of production and of life, and imposes its laws on another class and on society as a whole.” Jaurés said that to equalize things, “to break down the supremacy of one class,” the ultimate “aim of socialism, whether collectivist or communist, is to transform capitalist property into social property.”
The process of transforming “capitalist property”—that is, something legitimately purchased, inherited or otherwise earned—into “social property” for everyone is when socialism becomes sinister. This promise of redistribution always involves winners and losers picked by the government. What if one has acquired capitalist property and does not wish it to become “social property?” Well, then the government might have to step in and take it.
The loss of private property—which ensures one’s independent livelihood—perforce erodes one’s ability to exercise free speech. What if the owner of some capitalist property taken by the government dares to protest its seizure? That sort of dissent must be stifled to maintain order, so free speech is replaced by government-sanctioned propaganda. Unpopular opinions are shamed, and those expressing them are barred from forums like colleges and universities.
How do we know? Because we’ve seen it happen time and again. Ninety-nine years ago the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia showed the danger of combining socialist ideas with totalitarian violence, which created modern totalitarian communism. It was Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin who expressed a sort of unifying theory, finally achieving Marx’s goals. “In striving for socialism,” Lenin said in 1917, “we are convinced it will develop into communism.” The result in more than 40 national experiments since then has been either totalitarian dictatorship or economic collapse, costing some 100 million lives before the communist experiment collapsed in Europe and the Soviet Union.
To be sure, not everyone in these societies was a loser, which gets at one of the great paradoxes of all socialist systems: the extreme inequality that allows a cabal of party members to control the political and economic power in a country to the exclusion of an overwhelming majority of the citizens. Only socialist countries have achieved the tragic distinction of launching rockets into outer space while millions of their citizens starve to death in famine. Now that’s inequality!
The Center for Global Policy at George Mason University has recorded an interesting historical development. Its Political Instability Task Force plotted a chart showing the percentage of countries in which mass killings were occurring from the end of World War II until the present day. For most of the second half of the 20th century, that percentage increased steadily. Then, in the early 1990s, a precipitous drop occurred, and in the 2010s we have seen the lowest percentage of countries on Earth with ongoing mass killings ever recorded. What happened in the early 1990s? The Cold War ended and millions were freed from behind communist walls and secret police holding cells. This was also when our millennial generation was born.
Indeed, there is very much a generation gap in today’s socialist resurgence. Nate Silver points out that while polling from May 2015 shows a plurality of voters under 30 supporting socialism, that figure drops to a mere 15 percent among those over 65. The reason for this is not difficult to see. It reflects a difference in personal experience.
Millennials either missed the Cold War entirely or were young children in its final years, with little or no conception of the triumph of liberty achieved with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). They do not understand the menace that socialism— combined with power—posed to the people it enslaved and to the free nations that it threatened. The violence and brutality of the communist regimes of the past are irrelevant, just lines in the history book somewhere between the Spanish-American War and 9/11.
It’s more personal for older Americans. Perhaps some of their friends or neighbors—or they themselves—arrived in this country just ahead of Soviet tanks that were rolling into their homeland. Perhaps they remember the stories of citizens of these supposed utopian socialist prison states arrested, “disappeared,” tortured, or shot simply for trying to cross a border. Perhaps they remembered cowering under their school desks during drills in case of a nuclear attack, planned in communist Russia and launched from communist Cuba.
This is the context young American voters should know as they prepare to cast their vote this year—many of them for the first time. We should all be mindful of the power of words and ideologies, and how discredited ideas can flourish again as memories of their failure fade. We cannot forget the lessons of history. All of us, but especially the youngest among us who will have to live in that world for the longest, should make this election about the future by rejecting the ugly, violent legacy of socialism’s past. source
I do hope that many readers will be able to share this piece with friends and family who are avid Bernie Sanders’ supporters. They need a wake up call.
We, as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, should shudder at the thought of a Marxist government in the U.S. THAT is when we will have no choice but to go underground to worship – just like our brethren in China do today.

UPDATE: Island Water Association today, Nov. 22, rescinded the boil water notice from Tarpon Bay Road to Lighthouse Beach. The bacteriological survey came back satisfactorily, which means the water is safe to drink.
Original Article posted Nov. 17, 2022
The Island Water Association has issued a precautionary boil water notice from Tarpon Bay Road east to Lighthouse Beach. A large diameter water main on Periwinkle Way sustained major damage during the bridge repair work near Limpet Drive. The damage resulted in a loss of water pressure in that service area.
As a precaution, the IWA is advising all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth or washing dishes should be boiled. A rolling boil of one minute is sufficient. Bottled water may be used as an alternative.
The precautionary boil water notice will remain in effect until the necessary system repairs are completed and a bacteriological survey shows the water is safe to drink. Contact the IWA’s main office at 239-472-1502 with any questions.

Last weekend we had a family adventure to Coffs Harbour. It rained most of the way up but the kids are really good travellers so it was all ok.
Once we got to our adventure destination ( the Butterfly House) they all were so excited... until we actually got into the enclosure....

Jumeirah was completely in her element and never wanted to leave. And me with my gorgeous camera?? Had a lovely time, in between the lens fogging up in the heat ;)
But we ended up having a great time, Jared and Amahli calmed down enough for us all the walk the whole way through and then they took off to the maze and I quietly turned around and walked back through... I took a whole stack of photos but this one is my favourite :)
