According to the report, the global tea industry generated US$49 billion in 2021 and is estimated to generate US$93.2 billion by 2031, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7 percent from 2022 to 2031.
The new report also offers a detailed analysis of changing market trends, top segments, key investment pockets, value chains, regional landscapes and competitive scenarios.
According to the report, the global tea market is experiencing rapid growth worldwide because of the health benefits associated with tea and increased awareness.
And following the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers are even more concerned about their health and wellness, which has increased the demand for tea worldwide, and boosted the tea market’s growth significantly.
The Outlook for Tea by Segments and Distribution Channels
By packaging, the paperboards tea segment held the highest market share in 2021, accounting for nearly two-fifth of the global tea market, and it’s estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. This is due to the rising demand for environmentally friendly packaging options, as well as the practicality and affordability, which will drive the growth of the segment. However, the plastic containers segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 7.2 percent from 2022 to 2031. The plastic container segment is driven by convenience and shelf life.
By application, the commercial segment held the highest market share in 2021, contributing to nearly one-fifth of the global tea market revenue and is projected to maintain its lead position during the forecast period. This is due to significant growth of food chains and restaurants, which is expected to continue in the future, driven by an increase in quick service restaurants. However, the residential segment (home consumption) is expected to showcase the most with a CAGR of seven percent during the forecast period. The increase in the overall consumption of caffeinated beverages at home is also fueling this segment's market growth.
By distribution channel, the supermarkets/hypermarkets segment held the highest market share for tea in 2021, accounting for more than one-third of the global tea market, It’s also projected to rule in terms of revenue during the forecast period.
The growth of the supermarket/hypermarket segment in the tea market is attributed to the increase in adoption of supermarkets and hypermarkets in both the mature and emerging markets.
On the other hand, the online stores segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 8.1 percent from 2022 to 2031. An increasingly popular sales channel in the tea industry, online platforms are preferred by customers because they are convenient and easily accessible. To attract more customers, these online platforms are regularly offering a number of discounts and sales for tea orders placed online.
Asia-Pacific Region Garners Highest Tea Market Share in 2021
By region, Asia-Pacific held the major share in 2021, garnering more than three-fourths of the global tea market revenue, and it’s likely to dominate the market during the forecast period, due to the highly prevalent tea culture in countries such as China, India, Japan and Sri Lanka.
However, the North American region is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 8.4 percent from 2022 to 2031. The market in the region has been consolidating, due to high competition. Moreover, the shift in preference of consumers toward healthier alternatives to caffeinated beverages and toward tea and coffee is expected to provide opportunities for growth of the tea market.

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) are intimately involved in the control of the growth and reproductive activities of the gonadal tissues, which synthesize and secrete male and female sex hormones through a negative feedback relationship. FSH is a glycoprotein secreted by the basophil cells of the anterior pituitary. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), produced in the hypothalamus, controls the release of FSH from the anterior pituitary. Like other glycoproteins, such as LH, TSH, and HCG, FSH consists of subunits designated as alpha and beta. Hormones of this type have alpha subunits that are very similar structurally, therefore the biological and immunological properties of each are dependent on the unique beta subunit. In the female, FSH stimulates the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles by acting directly on the receptors located on the granulosa cells; follicular steroidogenesis is promoted and LH production is stimulated. The LH produced then binds to the theca cells and stimulates steroidogenesis. Increased intraovarian estradiol production occurs as follicular maturation advances, thereupon stimulating increased FSH receptor activity and FSH follicular binding. FSH, LH, and estradiol are therefore intimately related in supporting ovarian recruitment and maturation in women. FSH levels are elevated after menopause, castration, and in premature ovarian failure. The levels of FSH may be normalized through the administration of estrogens, which demonstrate a negative feedback mechanism. Abnormal relationships between FSH and LH, between FSH and estrogen have been linked to anorexia nervosa and polycystic ovarian disease. Although there are significant exceptions ovarian failure is indicated when random FSH concentrations exceed 40 mIU/mL. The growth of the seminiferous tubules and maintenance of spermatogenesis in men are regulated by FSH. However, androgens, unlike estrogens, do not lower FSH levels, therefore demonstrating a feedback relationship only with serum LH. For reasons not fully understood, azospermic and oligospermic males usually have elevated FSH levels. Tumors of the testes generally depress serum FSH concentrations, but levels of LH are elevated, as determined by radioimmunoassay. It has been postulated that the apparent LH increase may be caused by crossreactivity with hCG-like substances secreted by tumors of the testes. High levels of FSH in men may be found in primary testicular failure and Klinefelter syndrome. Elevated concentrations are also present in cases of starvation, renal failure, hyperthyroidism, and cirrhosis.

The next morning, we checked out of Ngalawa Hotel & Resort and were driven to Double Tree by Hilton, Stone Town for a networking session. We had lunch afterwards before embarking on a journey to another part of the island where we were to spend some time.
On the way, we stopped for the spice tour, after which we were split into specific buses going to the specific hotels we were allotted. I was on the bus to Karafuu Beach Resort & Spa with quite a few of my friends.
We arrived Karafuu Beach Resort & Spa just before 19:00hrs and were welcome with glasses of refreshing fruit juice. We were checked in and after freshening up we went to the restaurant for dinner. We stayed back chatting for a bit.
In the meantime, a local troupe provided entertainment with some dance and acrobatic displays. Some of us joined in the fun before returning to our rooms for a good night rest.
It was Thursday and time to bid Saly farewell and head up north. Saint Louis, the former capital of Senegal was calling. I called Mamadou* and by the time I had checked out of my room, while settling down to the quick brekkie which Dominique had fixed for me, Mamadou showed up. With breakfast over, and we were on our way to Réserve de Bandia – an impromptu decision I made that morning after we couldn’t access it the previous day. Thankfully, it was a wise decision.
By midday, we were done and Mamadou dropped me off at la gare routière where I boarded a sept-place to Saint-Louis, via Thies. Saly had been so wonderful and I felt a tinge of sadness as I left. I sat next to a beautiful Senegalese, but we couldn’t say much because she didn’t speak much English. She had a lovely smile and seemed eager to help me. I remember when I needed to get airtime and she had to patiently wait to understand what I wanted through gestures and then explain to the vendor.
We were in Thies in about two hours and I felt sad to see her alight from the vehicle. Anyway, we moved on and didn’t get to Saint Louis until it was past 16:00hrs. I had called Diallo after buying airtime to ask if he had a contact in Saint Louis I could look out for. He had promised to get back to me, but his call had not come through by the time we got to the final stop in Saint Louis. I tried his number and it was not going through.
Stranded, I dragged my luggage to a nearby fuel station and met a woman there – she seemed liked the manager and thankfully, she spoke English. Diallo had recommended a place to me and I had also searched one out while in Saly, so I asked the woman how I could get to either of the places. She got a cab to take me to the one closest, which was on Saint Louis Island. Before I left, she gave me a piece of paper where she had scribbled her number so I could call her if I had any issue. Interestingly, her name was Mrs. Diallo.
We spent about 45mins in traffic on Pont Faidherbe as we crossed from the mainland to the island. The cab dropped me at the hotel which was situated by the banks of River Senegal, however I didn’t like the available room so I had to move on.
I got another cab and headed on to Hotel Djamarek on the peninsula. There was traffic again after the link bridge connecting island to peninsula on Rue Hydrobase. A lot of fish business is done in the area and several ice trucks were packed along the road, which already had bad portions probably damaged by frequent usage by those heavy-duty vehicles. Then the inevitable calèches who moved at their own pace.
I liked the ambience once I arrived, flanked by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and River Senegal on the other. I checked in and made my first friend in Saint Louis, Eumeuh who checked me in at the reception.
Pretty tired at this point, didn’t know what to do, so I tried Diallo’s number again. He picked and sent me the contact he promised, a guy called Adama. I called Adama to come over, so I could explore the night, but he made excuses and we rescheduled for the next day.
As 2019 promises to be an exciting year for Malawi, we look back at 2018 to see how the country’s wildlife has transformed, catching the attention of the world. Tours & trails have developed by local operators as the country becomes a hot destination for safaris in Africa.
Wildlife Transformation ‘Completing’ Malawi
For a long time Malawi’s stunning beaches, beautiful and varied landscapes and fascinating and friendly cultural experiences have been some of the best that Africa has to offer. With the wildlife transformations continuing courtesy of African Parks, Malawi’s safari experiences are now starting to match its other attractions as it emerges as one of the most complete destinations in Africa.
2018 saw a focus on lions. A group was introduced to Liwonde National Park, some of whom came from Majete, where the lions introduced a few years ago have increased their numbers very successfully. To widen the gene pool, more lions have also been added to Majete from South Africa. With cheetahs re-introduced in 2017 already breeding very successfully and more predators rumoured for Liwonde, plus giraffe just re-introduced to Majete, and plans of elephant, rhino and antelope relocations in 2019, there is no let-up in Malawi’s wildlife transformations, and the country’s fast-tracking to become one of Africa’s most complete destinations.
Brand new Tours, Trails & Experiences launch in Malawi
Malawi’s dynamic tour operators are keeping pace with the accommodation too, developing new tours and trails to meet demand. Lilongwe Wildlife Trust have launched a brand new Malawi Conservation Experience that combines wildlife rescue and rehabilitation work with research and some lakeshore R&R. Malawi stalwarts Land & Lake Safaris have a new set of tours covering even more locations and Central African Wilderness Safaris have launched brand new trails in Liwonde and Nyika National Parks.
Ever the innovators, as well as the launch for their Women’s Entrepreneurship & Women’s Challenge programmes, The Responsible Safaris Company ran their first ‘Sport with a Purpose’ challenge and counted Dame Kelly Holmes as a participant! They will be aiming at big names again to participate in 2019’s challenge!
Malawi is a hidden gem. It is the unique combination of Landscape, Wildlife, Lake and, the People which makes this one of Africa’s most amazing countries. Safe and friendly, Malawi offers visitors a fascinating variety of sights and experiences. The diversity of landscapes, the huge lake and the national parks and reserves provide the foundation for the unrivalled choice of safaris, water sports and outdoor activities on offer.
As February approaches earnestly, reminding me that a couple of important occasions are celebrated in the month, I can’t help but long for Saly. Oh sweet Saly, how I have missed thee.
So who is Saly? Actually it’s a place. Located in the Thiès Region and part of M’Bour department, about 80km from Dakar, Saly is a popular beach resort and one of the most alluring tourist spots in Senegal.
Saly is not just a major tourist destination in the country, it is regarded as the top tourist destination in all West Africa. Known in full as Saly Portudal, it was originally a Portuguese trading post named Porto de Ale.
Although Saly is still a developing community (you can see construction work going on at different places), yet it is at once both rustic and urban in a sense, offering you a refreshing world of fun and excitement.
I suggest a good knowledge of French because, trust me, it can be pretty difficult getting by, except you have a guide who understands English. Wolof and French are the main languages in the country. But well, I survived – no, I enjoyed my time in Saly.
There are several hotels and places to stay offering varying services from cheap to boutique and luxury.
Night life in Saly is vibrant and it starts pretty late from about 23:30hrs and it don’t stop ’till the break of dawn.
La Place des Bougainvillées is the heartbeat of Saly where the bars, lounges, discotheques, nightclubs, and restaurants are clustered. Banks, supermarkets, pharmacies, shops and ATMs are within also that axis, and taxis are there all day, all night to take you where you want to go.
Golf de Saly is there for you, if you want to play golf. About 20km away is the Réserve de Bandia where you can enjoy a safari. No lions, elephants or leopards, but it’s a great experience all the same.
The people are pretty warm and friendly, and Saly is safe enough for a late night stroll, but you don’t have to take chances.
Anyway, February is here and it’s my church’s anniversary month on the first. I’m getting ready for the Blessing Pact on the seventh, Valentine Day follows a week after, and of course my birthday, a day before. Perhaps, I need to see Saly again this February and enjoy some teranga hospitality.
After a couple of days in Dakar, Senegal, I headed on to Saly to meet with my Senegalese friend Diallo. I had booked a one-night stay at the Baobab Belge, a B&B via Booking.com, anticipating that if it falls short of standard, I’ll move elsewhere. I didn’t have to. The Baobab Belge turned out the perfect place – nice, cozy and cost effective.
Saly, a major tourist hub is a beach resort town, about 70km east of Dakar, lying on the Petite Côte, and classified under the M’Bour Department in the Thies Region.
Saly is divided into three areas, or like Fatmata, my Gambian friend puts it, “…there are three Salys.”Saly Portudal, Saly Niakhniakhal, and Saly Nord. The heartbeat of the town is La Place des Bougainvillées which is in the Saly Portudal area. That’s where you’ll find the clubs, bars, casinos, restaurants, banks, shops, discos, ATMs, taxi rank, etc. The Baobab Belge was further down in Saly Niakhniakhal, about a 5mins drive away.
I arrived Saly around 15:00hrs, disembarking at the fuel station along the main road from the Sept-Place I boarded from Dakar. Once I got down, I called Diallo and he told me where and how to find him. I got a cab which took me to La Place des Bougainvillées where Diallo was waiting with his warm teranga smile. We were meeting for the first time, but we’d been communicating via emails.
Being pretty tired, I declined Diallo’s offer to grab a bite first, opting to get to my accommodation instead and settle in. I assured him we would explore the night together, later. A cab got us to the Baobab Belge in about 5mins, where Dominique, the Belgian owner of the accommodation gave us a warm welcome. Diallo left shortly after, promising to return later for our nocturnal rendezvous.
Dominique manages Baobab Belge with her Senegalese husband. She had actually taken time to call me before I left Dakar to confirm my arrival and I was impressed by the fact that she offered to pick me up on arrival, but I told her I was meeting someone, Diallo. She showed me around the place and made me my first meal of thieboudienne (rice and fish) in Saly, after I had settled in.
Located just about two minutes from the beach (Plage de Saly), the Baobab Belge is a cute little B&B cottage with about five rooms in a garden-like space. These rooms of varying sizes are named after local musical instruments and they include: two Koras, one Balafon and one Tam Tam – I stayed in the Balafon. A two-storey building is close by where Dominique stays with her husband, and I learnt there were available rooms there too.
There are a couple of raffia shades, hammocks, and a cute little Jacuzzi-like tub in the garden. There’s a sitting area in front of the kitchen. The rooms have all the necessary convenience – bathroom with shower and toilet. Each room has a flat screen TV, mosquito nets and fans, as well as air conditioning. The environment is neat, welcoming and quite relaxing.
Dominique mentioned that she and her husband play with a band most evening at of the spot at La Place des Bougainvillées, but I never got to go see them before I left. They also organise activities like quad-biking and water sports for guests, and even take people on tours to places like Reserve de Bandia, La Somone, and other interesting places close by.
Staying at the Baobab Belge felt much like home, because I had the keys to the main entrance, so I could stay as late as I wanted. The people are was very peaceful and I remember walking with Diallo back to a La Place des Bougainvillées around 12 midnight, after he brought some items I asked him to get for me. He had to get back M’Bour and he could only get a taxi at La Place des Bougainvillées. Of course I took a taxi back myself, but it was not because I was afraid. It was because it was dark and not too sure about the route.
I smiled and said, “You speak English?” He smiled back and nodded. He pointed to a shack and said it was his place, a restaurant. He invited me over. Show no fear. So I followed him into the shack. A female was inside whom he introduced as his sister. There was a guy older than him, who he said was his friend and another guy who was his brother. They were smoking cigarettes. I sat next to the girl, while my host sat next to me. He showed me a painting he did. Nice.
We made small gist. I talked about about El-Hajj Diouf the Senegalese footballer and Demba Ba and Papise Cissé. I told them I wanted to take photographs of the sea. So I stepped out and the guy came out with me. My mind was working. How do I lose these guys without giving myself away that I was wary of their set-up? Thankfully, the others stayed in the shack.
couldn’t really tell if they were just folks who were totally harmless, or if they would turn dangerous if the opportunity arose.
I took some photos and then I told him to give me his number that I wanted him to paint the picture I had taken. I showed him the picture of the beach. He was excited. He went into the shack and returned with the older friend who smiled and gave me his notebook. I explained again. So the first guy tore a strip and wrote his name and number.
“You are Max?” He nodded. The other one introduced himself as Bona. I promised Max I’ll call him the next day and then asked how I can get to Plage de Ngor. They told me it was just further down. “I need to get there.”
Max told me no problem and I realized he wanted to come with me. Bona meanwhile had scurried in to drop his notebook. Show no fright. I shrugged and we left, while Bona caught up with us. I couldn’t really tell if they were just folks who were totally harmless, or if they would turn dangerous if the opportunity arose. We got back on to the main road and walked on, as it got chillier with the dusk setting in.
We talked idle gist. I remembered a song from the ‘90s. “Yele, Senegalese music called Yele. Ancient African music called Yele.” It lit them up and they told me the name of the artiste – I can’t remember again now. I really wanted to turn back after a while. I knew I couldn’t go to Ngor at this time, but I wanted to get to place I was earlier in the day, even though my feet were tired.
We eventually got to Plage de Ngor and I took some shots. The pirogues were there moored at the beach, and I could see the island. We left and I told my companions I was too tired to walk back. They stopped a taxi and got in with me. I thought they would get off on the way, but they rode all the way to the hotel. I guess they wanted to hang out. I paid the cabbie and gave the change to Max. They asked if they should wait for me. I shook my head. I was really tired. They waited. I crossed the road and went in to the hotel.
I got in my room and called Bamba and asked him if we could hang out. He said I should get a taxi and I should let him speak with the cabbie. I said okay and flopped on the bed to relax a bit. It was a couple of minutes to 20:00. Just a little rest, and I’ll go downstairs and ask the receptionist to get me a cab. Then, I’ll call Bamba. A little rest. I woke up suddenly, sprang up and it was dawn. Damn! My feet were still my shoes – and I didn’t even lie down properly on the bed. There goes my Dakar night-out experience!
This article was first posted on the Afro Tourism website.
I was determined to get a taste of Dakar’s nightlife. Bamba had assured me on the plane that the city never sleeps and I eagerly looked forward to the fun and experience, since I only had that night before heading on to Saly the next day.
It was still too sunny by 16:00hrs, and I wanted to get to Ngor. I called Bamba’s number and someone picked and told me he was asleep. I had met Bamba, a Senegalese who works in Nigeria on the flight from Lagos. We sat next to each other and we struck up a conversation about the delayed departure and the nonchalant attitude of the airline.
It was a night flight and coupled with the delay, we had a stopover in Banjul before touching down in Dakar at well past 02:00. I would have been ripped off by the cabbies at the airport while trying to get to hotel, as they rattled off in Wolof, leaving me perplexed. Thankfully Bamba rescued me. He negotiated with one of the cabbies and dropped me off, giving me his number before continuing his journey.
I went out on a brisk city tour around 11:00, after a 6-hour sleep which didn’t come to me until around 05:25. After the tour which lasted about two and a half hours, I ordered room service and took a nap. I waited another hour before leaving the hotel. By 17:00, the harsh glare of sun was all gone and I set out to the beach in my jeans jacket, as the evening temperature dropped. It was not so far and I could sail to Ngor Island and back before it gets dark, I thought. Besides, those pirogues ran on motor engines.
I strolled along Rue de l’Aéroport, detoured at Hôtel le Virage, and got down to the beach. I remembered the two guys I met earlier in the day when the taxi took me to the beach, Samba and Souleymane. Although the latter was the first to latch on to me, he spoke no English, while Samba came along and told me about the Lebou tribe and Île de Ngor. I would have gladly jumped on a pirogue and sailed to the island right there and then, but I didn’t know what to do with the cabbie. So with a promise to return, I took their numbers and left.
I had called Samba the Lebou and told him I was coming before leaving the hotel; but now I can’t seem to find the right spot. The Atlantic coast spread along for miles and I must have misjudged the distance from the hotel, having arrived there in a cab. A quick glance around and I realized this was not the place I was looking for. This was not Plage de Ngor. I couldn’t see any island from the shore. This was Plage du Virage, instead.
Some youths were playing soccer on the beach. It was quite windy and the evening was already getting cold. I had my camera around my neck, and was admiring the waves when a guy spoke behind me. Show no fright! That was my first instinct. He looked rough. He could be a Senegalese version of an ‘area boy’ as we call them in Nigeria…
In the long run, everyone who visits the ‘Smiling Coast’ ends up in Kololi, on that famous strip – the Senegambia Strip. In truth, Kololi is the heart of tourism in The Gambia, the smallest country on mainland Africa. Of course, the country is much more than Kololi.
The Gambia has quite a lot to offer tourists when it comes to attractions and activities. River Gambia which runs right through the heart of the country plays a very important part in the country’s tourism business, with boat cruises upcountry being some of the best adventures.
Along with Kotu, Kololi (suburbs of Serrekeunda, the largest city in The Gambia), has some of the country’s best hotels and accommodations, restaurants, nightclubs, and bars. Of course, there are choice options in other parts of the country like Banjul and Bakau, but Kololi is the number one choice for the best night outs in the country.
In the day time, Kololi is still a lively spot and it offers some attractions like the Bijilo Forest aka the Monkey Park which is towards the end of the famous Senegambia Strip. The Monkey Park is good spot to enjoy a hike and see some primates and birds.
The beach is another thing that draws people to Kololi and it is a bustling place to be at. Different kinds of interesting characters can be found at the beach, such as peddlers trying to sell you souvenirs. If you don’t know how to bargain, they’ll rip you off. But you can make purchases at the craft markets in town instead.
A couple of shacks on the beach have reggae music playing and you’ll see some rastas doing their thing. Some may try to roll you a joint, if you’re given to that kind of fun. No need to fear, no one will harass you…
The bumster issue has been effectively resolved by the government with the creation of tourist police. However, you should look out for the flag to see if it’s okay to take a swim in the ocean.
But for those who know the real fun in Kololi starts after the sun retires from the sky and the night is lit by electric stars. No fear of sunburn or heat stroke as tourists walk the Strip in search of entertainment, fun, and good food. There are bars, casinos and different kinds of restaurants, serving continental dishes to titivate the senses.
They include oriental, Indian, Dutch, Italian, Danish, and of course African and many of them apart from the meal, offers you a serene and soothing ambience to listen to and enjoy good music from a live band.
Hey! But that’s not where all the fun ends, particularly for young at heart and those who enjoy clubbing, Kololi is the destination to be if you’re in The Gambia. The clubs starts to fill late into 23:00 hours and it don’t stop until the early morn! Best believe it, everything you’re looking for at the club is there in good quantity: music, drinks, and dancing bodies…

Hello! Today, we are going to enjoy the final part of @nadinescakesng‘s story: Honeymoon in Zanzibar. This is the tour of Stone Town, known as Mji Mkongwe which in Swahili means “Old Town.” It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the year 2000. This is actually Day 4, but if you’ve been following, it was a case of ‘saving the best for last.’ So we skipped this and saved as the finale. Please enjoy…
This day was for our Stone Town tour. It is advisable to start off in the morning before it becomes very hot as the tour entails walking throughout. It is conducted through the many alleys and pathways that make up Stone Town. The name Stone Town comes from the use of coral stone as the main construction material used in building houses.
Our guide told us that it was even against the law to use cement blocks as the government wanted to promote the purchase of corals. You could easily get lost navigating the many passages.
One moment we were passing rows of shops that sold Arabian styled female wear, the next we were popping out at the spice market. I particularly loved the spice market as I was able to purchase freshly ground Indian spices like Garam Masala and Tandoori Masala. They also sold native soaps like lemon grass soap.
The fish market was not too far from the spice market, and we witnessed an auction. Usually, they auctioned off large fishes. Those of normal sizes were sold at fixed rates. They also had street vendors selling locally made juices. Fresh fruit juice is easily available on Zanzibar.
The tour took a sober turn when we visited the site of the Old Slave Market. We were shown tiny underground rooms were slaves where kept, and a slave monument.
The Anglican Cathedral of Christ Church is in the same premises and its altar was built on the same exact spot where the whipping post of the slave market was. Behind the altar was the tomb of Edward Steere, the Bishop who actually built the church.
We were shown a cross that hung in the church and were told that it was carved out from the tree where David Livingstone (the Scottish missionary that fought for the abolishment of slavery) was initially buried.
Other attractions during the tour include The Old Fort, House of Wonders and Forodhani Gardens.
It was interesting to find out that the late Freddie Mercury, the former lead singer of the band, Queen was born in Stone Town. We were shown the exact flat that his family lived in and I imagined young Freddie Mercury listening to records in that flat.
Zanzibar truly is a wonderful place to visit, with its beautiful beaches, clear, blue waters, refreshing seasonal juices, delicious Indian cuisine and the greetings of Jambo(hello in Swahili) wherever you go.
That’s it folks. I think @nadinescakesng would make a good tour guide if she decides to be one. She certainly had a good time on the magical island of Zanzibar with her husband. I’ve been there myself and yes Zanzibar is really beautiful. It’s a place you want to return to – at lease I want to… You can share your experience with us.

Please be warned, this is a tough ride! You're not riding on the Green River Santa Ana River Trail here! There is a LOT of dirt, that's the point. On the 100 mile ride, it's going to be technical as well. The 100 and 50 kilo routes don't have as much singletrack, but they're still going to have a lot of elevation, and a lot of dirt. Be prepared! If you're not sure about doing it on a road bike, pre-ride some of it and find out! If still not sure, hop on a MTB with some fast tires (Thunder Burts are my fave) and ride that!
Also, the forecast for Saturday is mid 80's! Carry lots of water, refill at the SAG stops, and be aware where public water is available or stores you can buy some at if needed.
Where is the route map? All I could find on the "event site" is an elevation profile. Not everyone has a Garmin or Smart phone. And I wish the registration costs were posted some place, so we don't have to go through that entire process just to find out how much it costs. Also, what is the discount with membership? Again we have to go through the entire join/registration process just to find out the cost?ReplyDelete
Hi Mallory, THANKS for the interest! We don't have maps posted yet, as we always like to spring them on folks at the last minute. This is meant to be a bit of an adventure/exploration ride. But it will be posted soon and will be fantastic. The best routes....ReplyDelete
As for the costs, if you go to the registration page and click on the pull-downs (down arrow) for each route, it will list the costs for members, as well as non-members: http://www.iebikingalliance.org/content.aspx?page_id=87&club_id=961736&item_id=570124
Thanks again for reaching out, hope that explains everything!

MSC Cruises has announced it will be entering the luxury market with the order of four ultra-luxury cruise ships.
The ships, the first of which will be delivered in Spring 2023, will have gross tonnage of approximately 64,000 GT and will feature 500 staterooms. The remaining three ships will come into service one per year over the following three years.
The ships will feature, amongst other, the best and latest environmental technology and other cutting-edge maritime solutions at sea. They will also showcase highly-innovative design as well as introduce ground-breaking options for guest comfort and relaxation.
“It is off the back of the great success of our ship-within-a-ship luxury concept that our guests asked us to enter into the ultra-luxury segment, as a natural evolution of the MSC Yacht Club,” said Pierfrancesco Vago, MSC Cruises’ Executive Chairman. “These ships will be able to offer unique itineraries, thanks to their size, and the guest services will be taken to another level, including our personalized MSC Yacht Club butler service, available 24/7."


Written by: Greg Ellifritz
My friend John Johnston (host of the excellent radio program Ballistic Radio) suggested that I write an article about body armor and fitness. He was doing some PT while wearing plate armor in order to improve his fitness for an upcoming firearms training class and thought that a post concerning the realities of wearing armor would be useful.
Like most cops, I wore soft armor every day at work. I’m proud to say that I’ve never worked a single patrol shift without wearing armor. I also have rifle plate armor that I occasionally (but not often) wear. I guess putting the stuff on every day for 25 years makes me a reasonable authority to speak on the subject.
First, a few clarifications…
There are two basic classes of body armor. The first is known as “soft body armor” and is what most cops wear under their uniform shirts or in exterior vest carriers. This armor is reasonably light and flexible and made of synthetic materials like Kevlar and Spectra Shield. This type of armor is classified by threat level (the type of bullets they protect against). Current NIJ threat levels are (in order from least protection to most protection) Level IIA, Level II, and Level IIIA.
These vests stop pistol and shotgun rounds reliably, but they generally won’t stop centerfire rifle rounds. It’s a velocity issue. The faster the bullet, the harder it is to stop. Most level IIIA vests have a velocity threshold somewhere around 1600 feet per second. If a bullet traveling faster than that hits the soft armor, it usually penetrates.
In order to stop rifle rounds, you’ll need “hard” or “plate” armor. This armor is made of ceramic, a solid composite, or steel. It is rated with the NIJ classifications of Level III and Level IV. See the chart below from Howard’s Uniform Supply to see the particulars for each type of armor
I’m guessing that most of you reading this don’t currently own any body armor. I think this is a hole in your self defense preparations. If you acknowledge the possibility that you might get into a gunfight, you should be thinking about protecting yourself as well. Body armor will save your life. If you are a prepper or anticipating some type of economic or societal collapse, I think that a ballistic vest will likely be a better investment than yet another case of ammunition. You won’t be able to fire that ammo or eat all that stored food if you get shot and die because you didn’t have body armor.
Personally, I think armor is so important, that I have a couple sets under the bed in my “safe room” right next to the long gun I will use for home protection. If you have enough time to grab your rifle when an intruder breaks into your house, you also likely have enough time to throw a vest over your chest. I believe it’s a sensible and necessary piece of equipment for any home defense plans.
Here are some facts that you need to know to be an informed body armor consumer:
1) Body armor is heavy and hot. The soft armor isn’t much more than about five pounds, but it will wear you out if you aren’t used to having it on. Plate armor is quiteheavy. You won’t be able to move as quickly or get in and out of shooting positions easily while wearing it. Both are REALLY hot. I think the heat is even more difficult to handle than the weight. Make sure you stay hydrated while wearing it. A casualty is a casualty, whether it comes from a heat stroke or a bullet
2) Body armor will make breathing under exertion more difficult. You will want your vest to fit you snugly so that it doesn’t move around when you start taking rounds. That snug fit will make it more difficult to expand your chest when breathing hard. You will have to take shallower, more frequent breaths if your heart rate is elevated while wearing a vest.
3) Body armor will alter your shooting stance. The hard plates are the worst offenders in this regard, but even soft armor will interfere with your shooting stance. I normally shoot a handgun with my elbows relatively straight, but I am unable to fully straighten my arms when wearing my armor.
Armor may also necessitate the adjustment of the length of pull on your rifle or shotgun stock. Having anywhere from 1/2 ” to 2″ of extra thickness on your chest alters how you mount your long gun. You’ll need to practice with both pistols and long guns to get used to these differences.
4) You can be choked out on your body armor. If you are in a physical fight with an opponent and you end up on your back with your attacker straddling you (the “mount” position), his body weight will drive your vest high up under your chin. If your opponent cups the back of your head and drives your chin into your chest (the MMA “can opener” move), you will be choked unconscious on your own vest.
It is for that reason that I don’t wear the supplemental steel “trauma plate” often included with soft armor. It makes it too easy for a skilled opponent to choke you. There’s no way to avoid this problem with the hard armor plates. If I’m wearing my plates, I’m also probably carrying my rifle. Getting into a ground fight with a long gun presents many more problems than just being choked by my vest.
5) Water and ultraviolet light will cause soft armor to degrade. Heat, moisture, and UV light are body armor’s worst enemies. They will make a soft vest degrade more rapidly than it should. Be cautious about how you store your armor and purchase a moisture resistant carrier. Don’t buy used armor if you don’t know how it was stored.
6) Body armor has an expiration date, but it often isn’t all that important. Most soft body armor has an expiration date approximately five years after its manufacture. The armor will slowly lose some of its protective abilities over time, but it won’t suddenly “go bad” at the magical five year mark. When I was the training officer at my department, I regularly shot old vests that our officers turned in once they got their newly issued armor. I never had a single vest fail to stop a round it was rated to protect against, regardless of age. I shot dozens of vests, some going back to the 1970s and never had a round penetrate.
7) Soft body armor offers adequate protection against most edged weapons threats. Although most soft armor isn’t rated to protect against edged weapons, it usually does a pretty good job. Soft armor will protect against all slashing attacks. It will stop many stabbing attacks as well. The only attacks that it won’t protect against are stabs from knives with a very thin profile (think “icepick”) or stabs when the wearer is stabilized against a wall or the ground. Even then, usually only a small amount of the blade (1/2″ or so) penetrates.
Think about buying some armor. I would recommend that you start out with concealable soft armor in Level II or Level IIIA. It will provide protection from almost all handgun and shotgun rounds and can still be low profile enough to be worn under a loose shirt. The soft armor also wraps around the body and provides more coverage than plate armor.
Once you get some soft armor, take a look at supplementing it with some plates. I generally don’t recommend the coated steel plates. Even with the rubber coating, there is a chance that a rifle round that hits the plate can break up, sending fragments into your throat. I’d only recommend the steel plates if money is a serious issue. Spalling from a rifle round that hits your steel plate is certainly more preferable to taking a full round in the chest. If you have some more disposable cash, the ceramic or composite plates are usually lighter and offer a little better protection with less chance of spalling.
When you get your armor, make sure you train in it. It WILL alter many of the things you do with your firearm. You should be aware of how that works before you actually wear your armor in combat.

About one year ago, Valve gave 360 and PC owners a chance to survive a zombie apocalypse with Left 4 Dead. Furthering the emphasis on four player online co-op, Left 4 Dead 2 is basically the same game as the original but with some new gameplay additions.
When Valve first announced that L4D2 would be a new stand alone game with a full retail price, fans cried foul. Instead of being released as DLC, Valve’s explained that they reworked the game’s engine with the Director 2.0 interface while adding a completely new cast of characters, new weapons, new items, a new location, and new enemies.
This new Director 2.0 was designed to create a new experience every time you play. Depending on how the player(s) plays, the game will automatically adjust spawn points, the behavior of zombies, and even the weather. This assures that no two gameplay sessions will be completely the same. One downside to this is that there seems to be more doors spread throughout each level that will not open or lead to a dead end, keeping them as place holders as invisible enemy spawn points.
L4D2 has a very strong emphasis on co-op. Up to four players can play together online, with the computer controlled AI taking the place of any absent players. Unlike the very forgiving, and helpfully friendly AI in L4D, the friendly AI in L4D2 seems like it was intentionally turned down to make the single player experience a much more challenging one. Friendly AI will no longer have perfect aim or be willing to immediately share their health pack with you. Like sheep, it is up to the player to lead the friendly AI as they will never take point. This means that you, the player, will always be the first one to go down and get overwhelmed. Playing through each campaign solo has to be the game’s highest challenge, especially when on harder difficulty settings.
The friendly AI might have taken a different turn, but the new types of zombies also make your time in the infected south that much more challenging. The spitter will puke up corrosive vomit on you and the floors. The jockey will pounce on your head and take control of your character, leading you away from your friends which makes you a much easier target. Finally, the charger will charge at you will high speeds, knocking you to the ground. These three new types of zombies, along with the usual witch, smoker, hunter and boomer, really stand out from the typical infected.
L4D2 has the player performing new tasks as opposed to the original L4D. Instead of just standing your ground against an entire horde of enemies at the end of each level, the player must complete mission objectives to complete the campaign. For example, in order to complete the first campaign, the player must carry gas cans to a car to fuel it up until you reach a full tank. This brings a new type of challenge to the game as the player cannot defend themselves when holding such an object.
With new types of enemies and gameplay objectives stacked against the player, new weapons have been introduced to even the playing field. Different shotguns, an upgraded SMG, an even a grenade launcher are some of the new toys the player will be able to play around with. The biggest addition to this sequel are the melee weapons. Replacing your standard pistol, weapons like the ax, frying pan, and chainsaw are great for dealing big damage up close. Balancing combat, melee weapons work well against an incoming throng of enemies but lack any type of range. The pistols, with their infinite ammo, are good for picking off distance enemies. And just like the original game, the player can hold one other limited ammo weapon, like a shotgun or SMG. Communicating with teammates and coordinating weapons is just one more aspect to survival.
Besides weapons, there are some new items to help you survive the zombie onslaught. Boomer vials can now be collected and thrown to lead zombies away. The defibrillator, taking the place of a health pack, can bring back a fallen comrade. The adrenaline shot gives you a minor health boost but increases your character’s movement speed. On a rare occasion, you can even find special types of ammo (like fire ammo) and laser sights to make aiming more accurate.
Although the campaigns are about the same length as the first game, each stage has a more open level design. The game still funnels the player to where it wants you to go, but there are more open spaces, like a field or swamp, as opposed to the claustrophobic hallways and tunnels of the first game. L4D2 still holds the player’s hand through each stage, but allows for a slightly higher degree of exploration and variety.
The game also treats multiplayer in a couple new ways. The usual Humans Vs Zombies deathmatch, co-op online, and survivor mode (think ODST’s FireFight mode) all return back in this sequel, but the new scavenge mode is bound to be a fan favorite. Just like some missions in the campaign, the players must fill a device with enough gas to power it while fighting off the incoming horde. This mode is a great new addition to the stellar line up of multiplayer modes.
L4D2’s presentation values have also received an upgrade. Cut scenes are nicely detailed and action packed, and the common zombies are not as common as they were in the first game. Even their dying animations are not as repetitive thanks to the stronger analysis of limb specific damage physics. When played multiplayer online, however, there is a noticeable drop in the frame rate, which makes each zombie animation look like pages were missing out of flip book. This problem was also present in the original game so it is a bit of a shame to not see the engine tweaked to support more fluid animation with each enemy encounter. Unfortunately, it seems like the sound design and soundtrack have been reused from the first game, not that this is really a true negative point, but this audio department seems to have the least amount of updated material.
It is true; L4D2 plays out very similarly to the original smash hit. But the fast paced four player co-op is quite entertaining and the new material is enough to experience this sequel even if you have played the hell out of the first game. This game is much better played in a multiplayer scenario so single players be warned.

Photo London: The UK Photography Event of the Year
The second edition of London's annual international photography fair, Photo London, opens next week (19-22 May) at Somerset House. Described by the Guardian newspaper as "the UK photography event of the year", 80 galleries from Berlin, Helsinki, London, New York, Tehran, Tokyo, Zurich and others will be showcasing their wares. Flowers gallery in London will be featuring work from one of my favorite photographers, Edward Burtynsky, as a teaser to his major solo show at Flowers this September. The Photo London exhibition will be complemented by a series of talks from high profile photographers such as Ori Gersht, Mary McCartney, Martin Parr, Nick Knight and Rankin.
And like other art fairs, satellite events and exhibitions have sprung up around the main fair. One, just around the corner from Somerset House, is by the artist collective Specular Assembly at the quirky India Club on the Strand. I went to the first edition of this last year and was charmed by both the location and the work on display. The India Club is a bar, hotel and restaurant founded in 1946 by the very first Indian High Commissioner to the UK and frequented by Nehru and Lady Mountbatten. The building and its decor don't appear to have changed since the 1940s and the nine artists showing there during Photo London have created work in response to this unusual place.
I'm also planning to go to a lecture about ten of the world's most iconic photographs, presented by London Art Studies. London Art Studies, established by ex-CNN Arts Producer Kate Gordon, offers short art courses, either for a couple of hours during the day or in the evening, usually held at the Bulgari or Berkeley hotels in Knightsbridge. Kate founded London Art Studies because she felt there was a gap in the market for short art courses provided for people who don't have time for lengthier classes. She explains that "the courses appeal to both curious beginners and more knowledgeable art-lovers and collectors. Our aim is to take some of mystery out of the art world."
London Art Studies has also recently partnered with Phillips, the auction house, to run an evening class prior to auctions. The first of these will be a lecture on 17 May by curator and Sluice Art Fair director Ben Street on ten landmark photographs plus a sneak peek at the photographs in the auction on 19 May. These ten iconic photos demonstrate how photography has come to be taken more seriously as art. The photographs, ranging from mysterious and painterly to challenging and candid, include works from Julia Margaret Cameron, Henri Cartier -Bresson, Robert Frank, Dorothea Lange, Bill Brandt, Diane Arbus, Robert Mapplethorpe, William Eggleston, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Jeff Wall.
At the Phillips auction, two Robert Mapplethorpe pieces are bound to generate keen interest. Number three in an edition of ten plus two artist proofs of Mapplethorpe's Self Portrait (1988) has an estimated price of £60,000-£80,000. All other editions are said to be in private collections. Similarly, edition number two Mapplethorpe's Calla Lily (1986) is from a sold out edition with the same estimated price. I'm also looking forward to seeing The Red Ceiling (1973) by William Eggleston, said to be the artist's most famous photograph. As The New Yorker said about William Eggleston's exhibition at the Whitney a few years ago, "you can always tell a William Eggleston photograph. It's the one in color that hits you in the face and leaves you confused and happy, and perhaps convinces you that you don't understand photography nearly as well as you thought you did."
Photography exhibitions on at the public galleries this month include British artist Martin Parr's curated show Strange and Familiar: Britain as Revealed by International Photographers (until 19 June) at the Barbican Art Gallery; at the National Portrait Gallery their special exhibition is Vogue 100: A Century of Style (until 22 May) and The Photographers' Gallery presents the Deutsche Börse Foundation Photography Prize.

The Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) has announced that over a quarter of the UK’s plug-in cars have been sold in the last 3 months.
Between July and September 2014, over 5,000 government plug-in car and van grants were provided, which is more than double the number than in the previous 3 months and almost a third of all grants since the scheme was launched in 2010.
There are now over 17,000 grant funded ULEVs on the UK’s roads. This is proof that with the help of government incentives and electric vehicle (EV) technology being advanced by manufacturers, the market is experiencing an accelerated growth.
Transport Minister Baroness Kramer commented: “It is not surprising that people want these vehicles – they are a pleasure to drive and incredibly cheap to run, as well as beneficial to the environment. The government is breaking down barriers that may have put people off in the past.”
“This growing confidence helps the UK strengthen its position as a global leader in developing green technology. Expanding this sector is also creating thousands of jobs and contributing to Britain’s thriving £11 billion automotive industry, and encouraging more investment in the UK – a key part of this government’s long-term economic plan.”
OLEV is confident that all new vehicles in the UK will have some kind of ULEV element by 2040. There has been a steady rise in the number of people taking up low emission vehicles, as more models become available and the nationwide network of charging points continues to expand.
The UK is seeing a huge roll-out of charging points, headed up by local councils across the country. The charging point statistics speak for themselves; there is now around 7,300 charging points and over 650 rapid charging points UK-wide with these numbers increasing all the time.
With £500 million in funding to be invested between 2015-2020, the government has pledged a commitment to encouraging the uptake of ULEV’s, particularly electric vehicles.
On the whole though, government incentives such as the £5000 plug-in car grant and £8000 plug-in van grant have been hugely successful and are providing a platform for growth within the emerging EV market.
There has, however, been complaints from the EV community that the money is not always been spent in the best way, with slow public charging stations still being installed in often non-strategic positions. There seems to be a general consensus that rapid charging points are what is needed with slow charging reserved for overnight charging at home or at hotels.
Publicly available slow charging stations are in demand but only in residential areas where EV drivers or those considering the switch to a plug-in vehicle do not have access to off-street parking.

For 21 year-old rising star, Austin Boggs, country music has been a part of his life from a very young age. Growing up in a small southwestern Virginia town, he quickly found that writing and singing came easy because of the tradition and heritage of the small town life. His older brother Josh took him to a Ralph Stanley festival at the age of 14; from that moment on Austin knew he wanted to be a performer. Josh recalls Austin's reaction to this live performance, "I'll be up there next year." Less than a year later he began playing on WNVA 106.3 FM during the Local Talent Show, beginning his journey.
Austin formed a bluegrass band called the Midnight Ramblers. The name was chosen because it was the only time the guys could get together and practice. Since they were all still in high school. The Ramblers soon found out that this was going to be more than just earning a little extra money on the weekends. They found themselves playing in every state on the East coast and two International tours after only three years. After releasing three bluegrass albums as founder and lead singer for The Midnight Ramblers Austin decided to take the advice of those in the bluegrass music industry and pursue a career in the country music field. In February 2010 he felt the need to be where country music was, so he moved to Nashville. He spent the next few months meeting with songwriters and with producer Sean Gasaway to select songs that represented him as a musician. In August 2010 a seven-song demo will be released.
Austinâs voice is rather mature for a 21 year-old since his studio performance required little to no tuning. That does not mean Austin refuses to seek constant improvements and constructive criticism in all areas. Austin believes, âAnyone can be a performer but not be an artist. I am developing the whole package which includes performing, songwriting, and playing musical instruments." Marion Levy, founder of Rounder Records, describes him as a young Tony Rice.
âFrom the first time that I walked into the Ryman at the age of 18 and chills ran down my spine, I knew this is where I belonged and I would sing there some day. This isnât just a dream of mine but a goal and I will not give up until I succeed.â

Smashing Pumpkins have shared their bizarre new video for comeback single ‘Solara’.
The track is the first to be released since three-quarters of the band’s classic line-up reunited. The current line-up of the group is original members frontman Billy Corgan, guitarist James Iha and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, plus guitarist Jeff Schroeder. Bassist Jack Bates and keyboardist Katie Cole will join them on tour.
In the Nick Koenig-directed video for ‘Solara’, Corgan is seen being put on a metal leash by three tracksuited women. At one point, he escapes and finds himself in a room with mimes guarding over a female mime “giving birth”. Watch it below now.
Smashing Pumpkins played their first show since reuniting last night (June 27) at Los Angeles’ 400-capacity Troubadour. Phones and cameras were banned from the gig, where the group ran through past hits and covered Joy Division‘s ‘Transmission’ with AFI‘s Davey Havok.
Meanwhile, Schroeder recently commented on whether he feels any rivalry with Iha. He has been part of the band since Pumpkins’ 2007 comeback album ‘Zeitgeist‘. “The whole thing is rather funny to me,” he said. “People seem to think that James and I should be enemies—you know, like, ‘He’s taking your job’. But we’re totally cool, and there’s been no weirdness at all. In the short time that we’ve been together, it’s been extremely pleasant.”
Smashing Pumpkins are due to begin their North American tour in Glendale, Arizona on July 12. They will arrive in the UK for a show at London’s SSE Arena Wembley on October 16. Tickets are available here. No other UK shows have been confirmed at present.

Summer Garda Magazine -September
Don’t worry! If you missed the September issue of the Giornale Di Brescia’s Summer Garda magazine you’ll be able to keep up with all of it’s valuable content by following the Love Lake Garda blog and the Love Lake Garda events calendar.
A SEPTEMBER TO BE LIVED
Summer is ending, but the holidays continue with a thousand events on the lake
Summer is over, but not vacation time on Lake Garda. Just a glimpse at the ‘what-to-do-and-see’ list can convince you that September is a month extraordinarily rich with opportunities. That is how the local hospitality industry is responding to the growing and increasingly significant trend of what was once called low-season tourism.
The lake is attractive all year long, from every point of view. With its decidedly mild climate and enchanting days to be enjoyed outdoors, the Lake Garda autumn is a delightful extension of the warmer season. It is the time to harvest and celebrate grapes, to indulge the palate at food festivals, to mingle with the town square crowd and spend pleasant evenings ‘al fresco’ before the arrival of the winter, which, however, is never too harsh around here. It is no coincidence that Lake Garda tourism had brumal origins. It wasn’t until the end of the 19th century that the first health resorts were built along the lake’s shores. They catered for European aristocrats who, seeking to flee the rigid transalpine temperatures descended upon the region from fall to spring. Two decades prior to the turn of the 19th century, following the example of the curative springs established along the Trentino side of the lake shores, Gardone (the centre of Garda tourism in the Brescia province), became the preferred destination of increasing numbers of tourists, especially Germans, who came in September to spend their winters on the Lake.
The upcoming weeks will unfold under the same mild climate which has promoted the development of the Lake Garda tourism industry, today an almost exclusively summer affair. September, but also October and November will continue to offer delightful days. And there will be plenty to enjoy: sailing events on the upper lake, gardening exhibitions, such as ‘The Benaco Gardens’ of Salò and Gardone, food festivals, vintage car rallies, concerts and sport events.
In short, the lake does not hibernate. On the contrary, for many this is the time when Lake Garda offers its best, after a noisey and crowded summer. These pages tell visitors what awaits them: a September offering events and initiatives for every taste.
A THOUSAND DINNER OPPORTUNITIES
A rich season to taste
Autumn on Lake Garda is a season to discover and, above all, to taste. While indefatigable farmers harvest the agricultural bounty ripened by the summer sun, the lake serves as the backdrop of countless food festivals. In these warm and sunny days to be pleasantly enjoyed outdoors, it is possible to indulge one’s palate at the numerous food fairs that in September and October proudly showcase locally grown specialities.
Vineyards and wineries are stage to the spectacle of grape harvesting, in the olive groves farmers determine how long it will be before olives can be taken to the mill, in the woods mushrooms are ready to be plucked and truffles are ripened, while this long summer’s heat finally relents, setting free that pleasant evening breeze that tickles appetites made dormant by swelter.
In September, October and November, Lake Garda offers a calendar of events designed to showcase produce and dishes of a, no doubt, one-of-a-kind season for gourmands. It will be a triumph of autumnal flavours: truffles and porcini mushrooms, game, capers, seasonal fruits and vegetables, the new wine, the last lake sardines, and much more.
Proposals abound, from the Duck Festival held in Desenzano at the beginning of September, to the Valtenesi con Gusto event, a culinary tour of local restaurants. Salò awaits its visitors on the 15th September for ‘Salò in Tavola’; Padenghe on the 20th September for its ‘Padengolosa‘; Tignale on the 25th, 26th and 27th September for its mythical Truffle Festival; Toscolano hosts again a new edition of ‘Garda con gusto‘, which, after its spring program dedicated to lake fish, returns in its autumnal version to celebrate seasonal delicacies; and, San Michele di Gardone Riviera will host six weekends, in September, October and November, to acclaim mushrooms, rotisserie specialties and game.
In short, there are, many opportunities to enjoy the bold and genuine taste of the Garda autumn during events designed to showcase the most typical local produce and rediscover Lake Garda’s simple and traditional cuisine.

NEWYou can now hear to WHD News articles!
MCALLEN, Texas – Border Patrol union customers are declaring morale among their ranks is tanking under the Biden administration, blaming procedures that allegedly stimulate the enormous southern border surge, cutting down their potential to capture criminals.

“When you have all we have going on now with the administration just flat out contacting our men racists with the things that occurred out in Eagle Move or Del Rio, when you are making it possible for individuals to arrive above and in a sense just flaunt the procedures appropriate in your encounter, we’re not executing what we’re employed to do,” Cabrera ongoing.

That lack of concentration in their obligation, Cabrera claimed, qualified prospects to “smugglers likely correct earlier us and there’s… no manpower still left to get him.”
The Border Patrol union representative claimed he locations the blame for these troubles on the Biden administration.
“Any time you have a new administration that will come in, I signify, it’s their ballgame. They get to make the principles,” Cabrera stated. “But our assumed is, if you might be gonna just take something out of play, take a rule or policy out of play, you have to swap it with one thing.”
Cabrera extra: “You just won’t be able to pull it out. It is like a bucket. If you might be gonna pull one bucket out that’s catching h2o, you’ve received to have a further bucket in its place. It looks right here we just pulled all the buckets out just for the sake of pulling it out.”

“We joined to halt all those stats, the fentanyl, the rapists, the murderers, the molesters, and individuals individuals are nevertheless out there,” Violante stated. “If I am in excess of below with 100 ladies and children, and this guy’s disabled, and that lady’s blind and, she’s expecting heading into contractions – which is going to acquire hrs of my time, and my partner’s time.”
Violante emphasised that officers really feel “obligated” to assistance the vulnerable migrants who are crossing the border in droves, and they willingly do so. However, he mentioned dealing with those people difficulties requires concentration away from halting criminals from getting into the U.S.
“That is hrs that we’re not out there even counting the gotaways,” he mentioned. “We are not there to see the signal, or answer the cameras, or use the binoculars to even see the groups. And so not only are they not acquiring apprehended, they’re not even currently being detected after the fact.”

hi INDiA Copyright 2020
New Delhi, June 22: Nepal’s Teriya Magar has been named as the winner of Zee TV’s "DID L’il Masters" Season 3 and the 11-year-old already knows what she wants to do in life. The starstruck kid aspires to be just like “Dabangg” actress Sonakshi Sinha.
Magar, who hails from Rudrapur, in Nepal, defeated Hardik Ruparel, Anushka Chetri and Sadhwin Shetty at the grand finale held at the Balewadi Sports Complex, Pune, June 21. Being a winner of a dance show, it comes as no surprise that she aims to be a choreographer. But it’s Sonakshi who she’s completely smitten with.
“I want to be an actress and choreographer when I grow up. Sonakshi Sinha (favourite actress)… I want to be like her. She is very beautiful and the way she acts and dances, I really like it,” she told Bollywood Country in a telephonic interview from Mumbai.
While there’s still time for the fifth standard student of Rudrapur Ex-Army Academy to start working, she is thrilled about meeting Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan, who attended the grand finale.
“I like him (Varun). I have seen his movies. When he gave me the trophy, I really liked it because he is a hero. ‘Main Tera Hero’ is an awesome movie but ‘Student of the Year’ is even better,” said the girl, who walked away with the KB3 Cup and Rs.10 lakh cheque.
When asked how she would like to spend her prize money, she said: “I will give it to my father, who works in a hotel in Dubai so that he doesn’t stay away from us.”
The father had also mentioned during the grand finale that he was meeting the little one after two years as his work kept him away from his family.
Apart from the prize money and trophy, she will be also required to perform at shows organised by Zee TV as and when requested.
“I have a contract for shows with them,” she said. (Bollywood Country Report)

- —The White Sword[src]
The mutant known only as the "White Sword" was one of many mutants who resided on Okkara. When the mutant land was invaded by the Amenthi Daemons, the White Sword and his personal army of One Hundred Champions were sent to Amenth as an advance guard. It is unknown what transpired in the hellish dimension, but they bought the mutants precious time and allowed them to gain an upper hand in the conflict. After the battle, the White Sword disappeared and never joined his people again. Deep within Amenth, he built the Ivory Spire, a stronghold that he and his warriors would defend against any intruders. After the mutants of Okkara and Arakko (one of Okkara’s separated halves) were trapped in Amenth, they found countless crucified Daemons, proof of the White Sword’s wrath.
As countless years passed, the White Sword and his army kept fighting the endless hordes of daemons, everyday dying only for him to resurrect his army to fight once again. This cycle of death and resurrection seemingly drove him mad and alienated him from his people. When Genesis and her army encountered him, he saw them as enemies and showed his former allies no mercy, forcing Genesis and what was left of her army to return defeated to Arakko.
The First Horsemen approached the White Sword and asked him to join them in a tournament on Otherworld. He initially scorned their request, but agreed after they promised to give him whatever he desired, should they win. After winning various challenges against Krakoa's Champions during the tournament, the White Sword's last battle and the penultimate challenge for the tournament was against Gorgon. Instead of fighting him right away, the White Sword decided to summon his one hundred champions for Gorgon to fight before confronting him. However, as Gorgon was killing each of the champions, Saturnyne counted the slain as additional points for Krakoa, giving them a one-point lead over Arakko. An infuriated War then begged the White Sword to finish Gorgon immediately, but he wasn't rushed by her words. He proceeded to offer Gorgon a chance to be resurrected by the warlord and become a member of his champions, but Gorgon refused, so the White Sword finally killed him, tying the tournament score. After the final challenge in which Annihilation lost to Apocalypse, Annihilation summoned all of Amenth's forces to conquer Krakoa. However, as the war raged on, the White Sword and his army decided to leave since they had only come for a fight and not a war, leaving his teammates behind.
The White Sword is a man of honor, as shown when he used his powers to save Cypher after War accidentally poisoned him. He was a friend and ally to the Mutants of Okkara, but after countless years of endless war and resurrection he lost his mind to battle, ruthlessly slaying not only his enemies, but also those who had considered him a friend. He also seems to hold no sympathy for those he has killed as he won the challenge of rumination endurance.
Powers and Abilities
White Sword is a mutant with the following powers:
- Immortality: White Sword is several thousands of years old.
- Healing: White Sword is a powerful healer capable of fully healing the wounds of others, many at a time. The White Sword has stated that he is unsure if he can heal or resurrect himself.
- Resurrection: White Sword's healing power is so profound that he can actually resurrect others. For millennia, he has used this power to resurrect his One Hundred Champions every morning so that they can fight the daemons of Amenth to the death again and again.
- Thralldom: When the White Sword heals someone, he also appears to place those healed under his thrall and enlists them into his army unless otherwise specified.
Fencing: White Sword is seemingly a master at sword combat.
- White Sword's Armor: White Sword wore a full-body silver armor with a circular symbol on.
- White Sword's characteristics appear to have been based on the Tarot card of The Emperor.
- It is not clear that he can heal or resurrect himself from death.
- The White Sword never eats, and claims to be beyond hunger, though he will occasionally make an exception.
- White Sword, along with all the Swordbearers introduced during "X of Swords," was initially envisioned by Jonathan Hickman and designed by Pepe Larraz.

Did you know? Parkview Medical Center offers endoscopic procedures to help evaluate and diagnose common intestinal issues including colitis, IBS, abdominal pain and more. What does this mean for you? Patients in Pueblo and the surrounding communities can find advanced care, close to home, which can help make their everyday life happier, healthier and more comfortable.
What is Endoscopy?
Endoscopy is an outpatient medical procedure where doctors look inside your body using an “endoscope,” or a tubular medical instrument, to examine the interior of organs and cavities.
Depending on the procedure, patients can be fully conscious or anesthetized, but for the more common procedures like colonoscopy or gastroenterology, patients are put under so they don’t feel a thing.
Endoscopy is commonly used in the following ways:
- Examining the gastrointestinal tract (including organs and cavities like the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum).
- Examining the respiratory tract (including the nose and lower respiratory tract).
- Examining the urinary tract.
- Examining the female reproductive system (including the cervix, uterus and fallopian tubes).
How Can Endoscopy Help Me?
Endoscopy is most commonly used for doctors to investigate a patient’s severe symptoms, to confirm or disprove a diagnosis, perform a biopsy, or to deliver some treatments.
If you have severe symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing and more, doctors can prescribe endoscopic procedures to aid in your treatment.
In addition, scheduling a colonoscopy about every 10 years from age 50 forward can help detect cancer early on, opening up treatment options for patients with precancerous polyps, if needed. Learn more about scheduling your colonoscopy.
