Today we did a job on an old bore in Yokine. It involved removing the elbow from the top of the bore and as I inspected it this is what I saw.
The mineral deposits from the water have formed a crusty inner skin that looks a bit like coconut inside the pipe. Obviously this has happened over a number of years, but its good to see what can form from bore water.
It is about 5ml thick all round

Gold to glitter at pre-Christmas show of antique and modern jewels.
Antique jewellery retailer Kojis and gold jewellery brand Vendorafa are teaming up for a pre-Christmas jewellery selling exhibition called The Glory of Gold, featuring designs dating from pre-Christian times to the modern day.
The showcase of jewellery will be hosted at Kojis’ boutique in the Royal Exchange in London from November 14, running for nine days.
Murray Feely of Kojis said of the showcase: “Gold jewellery and especially luscious yellow gold jewellery has always had an important place in the human psyche and it is undoubtedly one of the things that people throughout history have turned to in economically troubled times. Today’s consumer is no exception and we expect huge interest in these investment designs.”
Feely sources gold jewellery from around the world including a number of rare pre-Columbian necklaces specially for the Glory of Gold exhibition.
A Disquis pendant necklace dating from between 700 and 1530 AD will be on show and has been dubbed one not to miss. It carries “a five figure price tag” and features a man with arms distorted to appear wing like, wearing a headdress and avian mask.
Joining Kojis’ collection of antique and rare jewellery will be Italian brand Vendorafa which will have 18ct gold necklaces, pendants, bracelets and earrings suites.
Ben Williams, business development manager at Advalorem, Vendorafa’s UK distributor, said: “The craftsmanship and skills required to work in gold have changed remarkably little over the centuries and although some two thousand years separates Vendorafa’s jewels from some of the early pieces on show in this exhibition, their workmanship is equally consummate.
“Indeed, some of the hand-beaten finishes used by Vendorafa utilise techniques used in the early designs on display. Customers buying Vendorafa are undoubtedly buying the antiques of the future.”
Kojis and Vendorafa have also teamed with local luxury boutique hotel Threadneedles, which will serve a specially-designed Columbian Gold menu for the duration of the exhibition, as well as its own Columbian Gold cocktail.
Kojis’ Liberty concession will also take part in the exhibition with collections to be shown in-store in late November.

CANUK to organize cultural carnival for London
21st September 2011: The Central Association of Nigerians in the United Kingdom (CANUK) is all set to organize a cultural carnival for London for showing once again Nigeria is not only a land of beauty, but also of glamorous cultural values and artifacts.
CANUK Chairman Chief Bimbo Robert Afolayan says the cultural carnival is slated to take place at Leyton Cricket Ground, London. on October 15.
He said: “We Nigerians in the UK, that is, all the Nigerian associations in the UK under the central body of CANUK will be organising the biggest black cultural tourism carnival in the UK, not only to showcase our rich culture, but to tell the world that Nigerians have what it takes to make the world happy.”
The carnival is a part of the association’s activities aimed at drawing the world’s attention to the fact that good products and people abound in Nigeria.
He added: ‘We are not happy with the wave of negative publicity and media ridicule being shunned out daily in the UK about Nigerians and Nigeria as if our country is full of evil people. We are not evil; neither are we the worst country in the world. The larger percentage of Nigerians in the UK are very decent, law abiding professionals who are daily contributing to the economy of Great Britain.We cannot allow the activities of a few unscrupulous element to overshadow the rest of us.’
Afolayan said this was one of the conscious and concerted efforts being made by CANUK to use cultural endowments to promote and boost the image of their country here in the UK.
It was their belief that this carnival would showcase Nigeria’s cultural tourism potentialities and stimulate tourism interest from the peoples of other nations in the UK.
The carnival would bring out the totality of all Nigerian ethnic and professional groups. He said this was one carnival out of many. It was going to be a paragon of Nigerian culture where all cultural groups on state-by-state basis would showcase their worth in unity and harmony of dance, songs and drum.”
The cultural carnival was also being put in place to remind children born and bred in the UK that they have a very rich and enviable historical and cultural background
Quoting Chief Afolayan, the Nigerian Tribune said: “We are putting all hands on deck for the success of this carnival, which is the first of its kind to be organised by the CANUK, the umbrella body of Nigerian and Nigeria related associations in the UK.”

In 1893 business leaders overthrew the Queen and sought annexation. One policy is the Big Stick Diplomacy. With Hawaii came the Palmyra Atoll which had been annexed by the U. The first one is old imperialism, which was the period from the 1500s to the 1800s, where European nation started to colonize many areas such as the Americas, and parts of Southeast Asia. It seems to me that God, with infinite wisdom and skill, is training the Anglo-Saxon race for an hour sure to come in the worlds future.
Often missionaries were in competition for converts, and thus supplied imperialism with other drives Patterson, par. The Spanish—American War was a conflict in 1898 between Spain and the United States, the result of American intervention in the Cuban War of Independence. The motives of imperialism for these countries greatly define Europe at this time. In order to convince the American public of the justice in intervening, the United States government used propaganda, depicting the Haitian political process as uncivilized. Of course, he also warned against political parties; nobody listened to him on that one either. The United States, in the invasion of the Middle Eastern countries, felt compelled to assert its military and political dominance over these countries. We were to follow an aggressive imperialistic foreign policy.
First Madrid, then Washington, formally declared war. He argued that a modernized navy and greater world naval presence were necessary for America to holds its place in the world. In September 2000, Washington Post reporter published a series of articles whose central premise was Combatant Commanders' inordinate amount of political influence within the countries in their areas of responsibility. Archived from on February 17, 2006. At other times, they did it for the sense of adventure. Imperialism is… The British benefit and hurt the country in many ways, completely changing the country forever. Baptist minister Jim Goodhart set up an employment bureau, and provided food and lodging for tramps and hobos at the mission he ran.
Britain was one of the strongest of the European countries, and had the power to take over much of the most valuable lands with the most rich and abundant supplies of raw materials and other resources. The American flag flies from the Philippines and Hawaii in the Pacific to Cuba and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean. New Imperialsim occured from 1870 onwards. And as their thunders salute the flag, benighted ignorant peoples will know that the voice of liberty is speaking, at last, for them. This helps explain his longtime commitment to social justice, as exemplified by the Great Society, and his commitment to racial equality. The Roosevelt administration proposed to Colombia that the United States should control the canal, but by mid-1903, the Colombian government refused. The American government did not believe Haiti was ready for self-government or democracy, according to Renda.
Looking back on the Wilson era, a leader of the Haiti expedition and the highest-decorated Marine of that time, considered virtually all of the operations to have been economically motivated. Wealth was a key reason why imperialism started because many countries wanted to become more rich. This Expansion was a big departure from earlier attempts to expand the boundaries of the U. In the United States, prior to World War I, the Social Gospel was the religious wing of the Progressive movement, which aimed to combat injustice, suffering, and poverty in society. Here are some facts: in the 1875 10% of Africa was ruled by european countries and by 1895 90% of Africa was ruled by europeans. This was the first event which made Russian—American relations a matter of major, long-term concern to the leaders in each country.
European Imperialism stemmed from a long tradition of monarchies. Well, not all people held to the idea of a social need to build an empire, but they did understand a strategic need to hold our own in a technologically advancing world. The most important motive was tosafeguard and protect both their their lands and their country. This can drive a person to think that their country is the most powerful, and in essence drives that person mad with power and a hunger to conquer, which not ironically is exactly what many countries did. American rule in Haiti continued through 1942, but was initiated during World War I. The earnest desire of some to help civilize and Christianize natives was the utmost reason for imperialism. In addition, a rise in power among the merchant classes meant that free trade agreements became more popular.
The motives of imperialism for these countries greatly define Europe at this time. Generally, these powers benefited from these land acquisitions. I operated on three continents. I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. He aimed for a revolution and independence from Spain, but also lobbied against the U. Non-interventionism was wholly abandoned with the , the United States acquired the remaining island colonies of Spain, with imperialist defending the permanent acquisition of the.
The Congo was a peaceful country, located in the heart of Africa, consisting of warm sunny days and beautiful Lake Malebo. The canal cuts across the Isthmus of Panama and is a key conduit for international maritime trade. Americas Acquisition of Alaska The Venezuelan Boundary Dispute officially began in 1841, when the Venezuelan Government protested alleged British encroachment on Venezuelan territory. In the background, an American Indian holds a book upside down, a Chinese boy stands at the door, and a black boy cleans a window. First Madrid, then Washington, formally declared war. Army troops were also used.
Meinig argues that the imperial behavior of the United States dates back to at least the Louisiana Purchase. Anti-imperialist movements claimed that the United States had become a colonial power by replacing Spain as the colonial power in the Philippines. Imperialism is a belief and practice that a country has the right and the duty to control and exploit in term of bringing civilization and salvation to another country for its own benefit. American Empire: The Realities and Consequences of U. Many Americans felt it was not only our responsibility and duty but it was also a mandate by God. Where will it take us? They were political and military interests, humanitarian and religious goals, ideological, exploratory, and lastly, but most importantly, economic interests.
President Grover Cleveland strongly disapproved, so Hawaii set up an independent republic. During this time, the U. Countries become imperialistic for various reasons such as economics secure markets , military power excessive force and control , and political reasons nationalism. Which imperial motives do you see represented in each image? Answer 2 The motive of imperialism was money land and resources. The annexation of Hawaii, also in 1898, was a further indication of the imperial ambitions of the nation. After winning the Spanish-American War of 1898, and with the newly acquired territory of the Philippine Islands, the United States increased its Asian presence and was expecting to further its commercial and political interest in China.

Calming L-Tryptophan for Cats
L-Tryptophan Supplement -100mg capsules (40 capsules)
L-Tryptophan is an amino acid (protein) and can have a calming effect in cats. It is converted in the body to serotonin often called “the happy hormone”. Studies have shown that supplementation of L-Tryptophan can reduce anxious behaviour in cats.
What does Anxiety in cats look like and what causes it?
If your cat has anxiety, you may notice -
- pacing or restlessness
- hiding, decreased appetite
- excessive grooming
You should always check with your vet first to rule out medical problems. However some feline anxiety is due to their environment, some of which can be alleviated, for example making sure their is enough food, beds and litter trays but others can not, for example living in a multi-cat household.
L-Tryptophan supplementation may help calm your cat
L-Tryptophan is naturally found in red meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy. L-tryptophan is important for many organs in the body. L-tryptophan is not made by the body and must be consumed from the diet. After absorbing L-tryptophan from food, the body converts some of it to 5-HTP and then to serotonin. Serotonin is a hormone that transmits signals between nerve cells. Changes in serotonin levels in the brain can affect mood.
One Capsule a Day
Our capsules are easy to open and the L-tryptophan powder is fine, tasteless and dissolves well in wet food, cat milk or creamy snacks, making giving it to your cat easy and stress free. Just one a day may help your cat in as little as 14 days.
L-Tryptophan in a double-blinded controlled study
L-Tryptophan supplementation "had an effect in changing the frequency of the stress related behaviours, decreasing anxiety signals." in Pereira, Gonçalo da Graça. 2010. L-Tryptophan supplementation and its effect on multi-housed cats and working dogs. (https://www.veterinary-practice.com/article/l-tryptophan-supplementation-and-its-effect-on-multi-housed-cats-and-working-dogs)
This product is a supplement, it is not a treatment or medication, if your pet has symptoms or is unwell please seek veterinary advice immediately. Please consult your vet first if your cat is on any medication.

The post-punk-electronic sound of new Southend based artist BAIT is an assault on the senses. It’s intentional I think, it’s meant to strike with force when you listen.
Opening track ‘Must Meditate’ does exactly that with its no holds barred industrial wallop, a fearless introduction. ‘Push The Elephant’, out now as a single, is a strong song full of energy and beats with an infectious title chorus that grows on you like a fungus. My favourite track is ‘Hate One Another Love Yourselfie’, slightly quieter than the rest of the sound on this album; I love its nod to 90s dance beats and its subtlety. It felt a lot more intimate than the other tracks which was an interesting turn. Other titles on the album slide into heavy rock, hardcore punk territory matching the force and pace of the opener which will delight fans of this genre.
I can imagine hearing some of these on the soundtrack to an indie horror film, because – dare I say it – there is an element of the horror movie to BAIT. There’s an unsettling quality when you listen that both thrills you and plays on your fears, in the same way an effective horror does. It’s horror rock and roll punk demanding your attention. Elsewhere on the album, ‘I’m Still Here’ is a brilliant track reminding me of PiL and The Prodigy rolled into one, a definite live hit. Closing song ‘As Far As The Rope Goes’ is a grower; the contradiction of heavy vocals set against 80s synthpop beats is a clever idea. What I love on this record the most though is the Sleaford Mods type lyrics with their humour and slight surrealism (“Janet Street Porter!” chants on ‘Greatest of the Teeth’).
I’m clutching at reviewers’ straws with the loose comparisons here though, because BAIT really doesn’t sound like anything else I’ve heard in a while. It’s abstract, it’s dynamic and it’s passionate which is refreshing in the sometimes stale and homogenised music industry we’re living with. We don’t know much about who BAIT is at the moment as the debut album isn’t out until later this month and the artist himself has kept things quite cryptic. But it’s definitely the start of an exciting dissection of sound, of music, performance and art.

Join us for a night of Songwriters in the Round at Red Light Café, featuring Kenny Johnson, Anthony Crane and Jeannie Caryn.
Kenny Johnson has a passion for the craft of songwriting which compelled him to take a look at the songwriting Mecca of Nashville – one of the largest communities of active songwriters. Performing at writers’ nights developed his expression of the song in its purest form, and collaborating with seasoned writers like Jill Colucci and Randy Sharp distended his toolbox of lyrical and melodic devices. His forthcoming EP illustrates the grit and grandeur of his musical foundation, and behind it comes the weight of a long and diverse musical journey.
Instead of cobbling together our own snappy bio for Anthony Crane (of the band Crane), we'll let Barb Fera – CEO & President, Musicincider – do the talking for us:
"Anthony is a blues-baked singer / songwriter born and bred from that red Georgia clay. He has a smokey, whiskey-soaked voice that will reach down the back of your throat and grab your f---ing spine. He has an onstage presence that will make you believe he should have been in Midnight Of the Garden of Good and Evil. All by himself, Anthony Crane is a good time…"
Jeannie Caryn is a singer / songwriter, artist, and freelance writer / photographer. Her thoughtful original pieces, seasoned with folksy covers, are a testament to her goal of always communicating effectively with people through writing, music and art.

Forget running against President Barack Obama. Republican Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer wants to make the GOP's June 8 primary for governor a referendum on the state's poor.
Bauer and his supporters say his recent comments — comparing the poor to "stray animals" in January and calling some "flat-out lazy" last month — simply express his deeply held convictions about the value of hard work.
His critics, however, say Bauer is running a campaign that Lee Atwater — the legendary, divisive S.C. Republican operative — would appreciate.
Their concern? Bauer is running in the Republican primary, an overwhelmingly white affair, and, in South Carolina's political discourse, "poor" is often code for "black." So by ripping the poor, critics say, Bauer really is cheer-leading for minority bashing.
Bauer's comments have some fuming. Fortunately for Bauer, most are Democrats.
His rivals for the GOP's nomination for governor — U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett of Westminster, state Rep. Nikki Haley of Lexington and S.C. Attorney General Henry McMaster of Columbia — are more intent on turning their primary into a referendum on who is most anti-Obama.
As a result, Bauer's comments about the poor make him stand out.
And they also make him a target.
"He ... has no idea what it's like to be denied anything," says state Rep. Leon Howard, D-Richland, who owns a Columbia salvage yard business and is a past chairman of the Legislative Black Caucus. "People like that, whom the privilege of white skin will always afford an advantage, think all you have to do is be willing to work.
"It's not always that way."

Motherhood - Expectations vs. Reality
When our experience of motherhood doesn’t meet society's accepted image.
Motherhood is idealised in Western culture. Having children is seen as the ultimate happiness and completion in a woman’s life. There is a given that women step into motherhood intuitively, The moment when mother and baby meet is portrayed as an instant connection and magical bond. As a woman, choosing not to be a mother is still met with judgement, incredulity and confusion.
This idealisation of motherhood exacerbates the fact that women tend to be forgotten when they become mothers. The rite of passage a woman goes through by being reborn as a mother is mainly ignored, unknown and pushed aside in our culture. The transition into motherhood, the process of Matrescence through which women make sense of what it means to them to become a mother is lost and unattended, hence nonexistent.
What happens when women don’t meet society’s unattainable expectations? When their experience is different from the picture portrayed in movies, magazines and social media? When they look for an answer to what they are feeling and all they are met with is either baby blues, postpartum depression or postpartum psychosis?
The message from society is:‘ Your experience is not allowed, is wrong and you shouldn’t trust yourself.’
So, people learn to hide, invalidate, minimise and repress their own emotions → Action
The consequences are
‘ I am the only one struggling’
‘No one will understand’.
‘I cannot talk about this to anyone else’.
Shame and guilt
‘How come I am feeling like this?’
‘Am I a bad mother?’
‘Is there something wrong with me?’
‘Do I love my child?’.
The ANTIDOTE - Matrescence
Our cultural construction of birth and motherhood is framed by a capitalistic globalised society in which mass production, speed, obsolescence and cost effectiveness prevails. Enclosed in a patriarchal system which has controlled and objectified birthing people.
The consequences of ignoring the process of Matrescence can have a major impact on mental health, sometimes leading to illness.
Birth is sacred. In this rite of passage we are reborn. Through Matrescence we make sense of what motherhood means for us. This is an ongoing process that keeps changing, growing and evolving alongside our children.
It is crucial we start talking about Matrescence again and ditch the term baby blues. (If you are interested, read my previous post on the importance of losing that term). Language matters, it defines us and our world. We need to redirect the focus of attention to the birthing person, creating the space, support and care necessary for them to find their meaning and accompany them on that journey of rebirth and motherhood. Sharing our unfiltered experiences of motherhood, the struggles as well as the blessings. Our future depends on this.

PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has agreed to continue free treatment programme of the cancer patients and provide free services to patients suffering from other types of the deadly...
PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has agreed to continue free treatment programme of the cancer patients and provide free services to patients suffering from other types of the deadly disease.
Chief Minister Mahmood Khan is likely to formally announce the continuation of the free treatment for the next three years by signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with a reputed pharmaceutical company, Novartis on Tuesday.
The project was launched in the coalition government of Awami National Party and Pakistan People’s Party in 2011 for helping the poor cancer patients. It was named Begum Nusrat Bhutto Oncology Services. The previous Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-led coalition government agreed to continue the programme, but changed its nomenclature to ‘Poor Blood Cancer Patients Project’.
The government and a pharmaceutical company, Novartis, had signed an agreement under “public-private partnership” at that time. It helped poor patients to seek free of charge treatment. The people in the medical fraternity in KP believe that Prof Dr Abid Jameel, head of the Oncology Department of Hayatabad Medical Complex (HMC), is the person behind the success of the free cancer treatment programme in the province.
In Punjab, the government had stopped free cancer treatment that prompted cancer patients to stage protest demonstrations, demanding the government to resume free services and save their lives.
There were a few hundred cancer patients when the programme was first started in 2011.
Presently, around 5,000 cancer patients are getting free treatment under the programme. The project ended in June this year and patients feared they might suffer if the government didn’t extend the programme. However, patients didn’t suffer and they regularly received free treatment during this period.
Under the agreement, the government was supposed to pay for two months of free treatment while Novartis would provide for the remaining 10 months. Prof Dr Abid Jameel was appointed the focal person of the project and the HMC was declared as the focal point, where all cancer patients were supposed to get free medicine since 2011. Since 2011, the KP government has paid Rs2 billion for free treatment while Novartis contributed Rs22 billion to the project. Patients suffering from blood and breast cancer were entitled to get free treatment. However, owing to an unprecedented rise in other types of cancer patients in the province, the KP government has allocated Rs500 million for free treatment of the patients suffering from cancer other than blood and breast cancer.
Dr Abid Jameel told The News that the KP government has not only agreed to continue the treatment programme but decided to pay for around 5000 patients in the next three years. “Currently we are offering free treatment to around 5,000 registered patients and we expect to receive the same number of patients in the coming three years. The KP government and Novartis were kind to agree to provide free treatment to new patients,” he said. He said prices of new and advanced drugs had gone up in the international market, which he said was beyond the reach of the poor cancer patients.
“We would now offer free treatment to our old and new patients alike for which Novartis would pay 8 per cent of the cost,” he said. He said they had already included erstwhile Fata before it was merged in KP, saying out of 5000 cancer patients, 700 belonged to the tribal districts. Dr Abid Jameel confirmed the rise in cancer prevalence, saying their average OPD in HMC was 140. Though they had a very small setup, the services had improved as presently 13 trainee medical officers under his supervision are actively offering services to the patients.

It’s a parent’s nightmare—one day—out of the blue, your princess, your first- born, your two-year-old daughter, loses her ability to speak. There’s no identifiable reason and my wife and I were devastated.
This story has a happy ending because, fortunately, we live in Fairfax County. I hope that no one reading this ever needs one of our human services programs, but, should that happen, it’s comforting to know that Fairfax County has a commitment to all of its residents, regardless of their abilities.
When this mutism struck, my daughter was referred to the Infant Toddler Connection (ITC) at the Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board.
I’ve worked for Fairfax County for more than 16 years but I had never heard of this organization. After months of therapy through the ITC, my daughter recovered her speech and is communicating fluently. In fact, like most four-year-olds, she never stops talking and I have a new appreciation for the voices of young children and for the ITC.
Not only did the ITC change my life, but it potentially saved the County a far more costly intervention later. Think about what intense speech therapy would have cost our school system and then compare that cost to the far smaller cost of early intervention.
Alarm bells went off when I heard that the ITC was going to stop admitting early intervention clients because of state budget cuts. As a parent, an elected official, and a taxpayer, I am appalled and more than appalled—I am outraged. Not only are these budget cuts abdication of our moral responsibility to our children but they are a poor financial decision.
Early intervention is the key to managing or healing developmental disabilities. It’s penny-wise and pound-foolish to abolish programs for children, and then a few years down the road, pay a much larger bill for critical services for them when they are older.
As an elected official, I’m in the unique position of hearing about the many excellent services we provide at the local level. As a parent who has used those services, I am profoundly grateful to our taxpayers and their support.
I’m not blind to the financial constraints of the Great Recession and its impact on our state and local budgets, as well as individuals’ budgets. However, cutting preventative programs makes no financial sense. That’s like investing in a new car, not making routine repairs, and wondering why a more costly bill for an overhaul has come due.
Virginia has shortchanged our human service needs for a long time and Fairfax County has stepped into the gap and shouldered the costs of providing these services for our residents. Now we need to step up again.
My wife and I may never know why our daughter went mute. We do know, however, that every time our daughter speaks we thank our lucky stars that we can call Fairfax County home. I aim to keep it that way—for all our residents and all our children.

Why go to Lanzarote?
Is Lanzarote really somewhere I should be thinking about as somewhere to go paragliding?
I’ve been taking groups there for 20 years and I’m going to try to explain why we keep going back there.
A little background
Lanzarote is the most easterly of the Canary Islands and is about 60 miles off the coast of Africa and about 600 miles from mainland Spain. The islands are Spanish but tourism is a huge part of their income so English is quite widely spoken. There isn’t any natural surface water on the island and is the only major Canary island that is a desert island.
The island is oriented on a NE – SW axis, is 40 miles long and about 18 miles wide. There are lots of airlines that fly to Lanzarote and it is about a four hour flight from the south of the UK.
For much of the year, strong winds blast the island but from mid October – mid February the trade winds slip further south, the wind drops and we get flyable conditions. If you visit Lanzarote outside this period, you might get the odd flyable day but they will be few and far between. In the winter months, leaving the UK winter behind and stepping off of the plane into warm gentle breezes is a wonderful feeling. During the day, a T-shirt and shorts is normally all you’ll want.
The island is covered in volcanic cones which provide flying sites as well as the high central spine of the northern part of the island. There are flying sites all over the island but finding them isn’t always easy. All of the take-offs are hard and somewhat rocky and all except two are very large. All landings are huge and easy.
Where to stay
Well, the easy way to do this is to tell you where not to stay. There are three big resort towns; Costa Teguise and Puerto del Carmen are spectacularly ugly and are largely responsible for the “Lanza-grotty” image. There is really nothing good I can say about either town and I can’t imagine why you’d want to visit them. Plya Blanca is the third resort town and is really quite a nice place but being stuck on the southern tip of the quite a drive from most flying sites. Good options would be getting an apartment or villa (if there’s enough of you) in Teguise, down at Caleta de Famara, in Airetta or Haria. There are lots of other villages that are also good but you really want something that is either central or to the northern of the island. You will need a hire car on the island as it’s impossible to get to the flying sites on public transport and bottom landing always require a vehicle retrieve.
I tend to start my day by checking the internet for forecasts. One of the best sites is windguru and I’ll take a look at predictions for both sides of the island (Famara and La Garita).
When you head out in the morning you’ll always need sun block and sun glasses, water, clothing in layers as it’s usually hot in the middle of the day but often cooler in the evenings. I always take swimming things as well because sea temperatures are really nice and a swim after flying feels great. There isn’t anywhere to by food or drink on any of the flying sites but usually a few minutes drive will get you to a shop or a gas station but taking some packed lunch does make things easier.
On a “normal” day you will start on the Eastern side of the island, often at a flying site called Mala (or Presa de Mala). It’s about a mile form the beach and is a big ridge. As the day goes on and the sun changes position it’s not uncommon to move to one of the flying sites on the west side of the Island, often one of the take-offs on the Famara ridge. Just in case you don’t know about Famara, the scale takes your breath away! You’ll take off inland and have to really work to make transitions over gaps until you finally arrive on the coastal cliff. From here you can float all the way to Miradore (26 km round trip). It is absolutely stunning to fly above the cliffs, listening to the waves crash against their bases nearly half a mile below.
There are two things that make Lanzarote a little challenging, the flying sites are quite difficult to find and, nearly always involving the network of dirt tracks that criss-crosses the island and trying to decide which flight would be best. At any given time there could be three or four sites that are flyable but trying to pick the best is difficult.
Because many of the flying sites work on localized effects, you can easily have a gusty 25 mph wind blowing at Costa Teguise and 10 miles up the coast you could easily find a 90 degree change in wind direction and a steady 14 mph wind. The difficult part is in reading the weather and anticipating what will happen. You will see changes in conditions over a small area that you wouldn’t believe!
There are 3 parts of the island where you definitely can’t fly; the volcanic park (Timanfaya), the airport ATZ, and the protected area out in front of Famara. If you’ve been to the island before, you might have flown a site near the village of Soo. We used it for many years and then suddenly about four years ago, the police turned up, said it was a prohibited area and fined one of the local pilots.
The major sites are Mala, Famara (there are five different take-offs that we’ve used), Mirador and Macher with loads of less used ones.
Who’s it good for
Conditions are usually a combination of both thermic and dynamic with inflations being quite snatchy and it really isn’t a place to get dragged so good ground handling is important. There are a few training sites that work for beginners but you’ll get much more from Lanzarote if you’ve done a little bit before coming; ideally you should have your EP. If you’re more experienced you’ll get to play in amazing thermals, maybe even nail the Famara ridge. If you’re out there on your own, you need to be pretty slick at top landings (beware of rotor issues behind some take-offs) because getting back to take-off and your car can be problematic without a lift. Unquestionably, you’ll get more out of Lanzarote from some local guiding.
What if it’s not flyable
Oh my god, where do I start? There is so, so much to see and do on Lanzarote. Here are my top five recommendations.
La Garita beach (Airetta): It’s a great beach with crystal clear water and no dangerous currents. The snack bar on the beach (the one nearest to the town of Airetta) serves outstanding food, ice cold drinks and is very inexpensive. The water temperature is great.
Jardin de Cactus (Cactus Garden): Honestly, I’m not very interested in cactus (actually, not at all) but this place has a completely surreal feeling about it. It’s one of the many public buildings that Cezar Manrique designed and they’re all stunning but I picked this one because it’s rather less visited than most of the others.
Graciosa Island: Ok, it’s not Lanzarote but an island separated by less than a kilometer. You can get the ferry over from Orzola at the north end of Lanzarore (four crossings per day). There are only a few specially licensed vehicles on Graciosa and it’s an ideal place to rent mountain bikes. The ride to the beach on the opposite side of the island takes about an hour and a quarter but is well worth the effort; it’s completely deserted and utterly pristine but don’t forget to take lots of water and a packed lunch.
The walking trails: The island is covered by a network of walking trails that are well route marked and the tourist office can supply comprehensive route notes. My favorite is the trail from Playa Quamada to Papagayo. It follows a stunning coastline and takes about four hours. You probably won’t see another person along the whole trail. There is lots of ups and downs so by the end of it, you’ll be feeling it.
Cave Bar at Lag-o-mar (L’Oasis de Nazeret): Come on Friday night but don’t expect it to fill up until around midnight. It is like no bar you’ve ever been to before; incredibly stylized with a very pronounced Manrique feel. The bar is built into a cave in a cliff and the architecture has been fused with the natural. By midnight on Friday nights they’ll be playing salsa house music, there will be lots of people dancing.
John Welch and Flight Culture have been taking groups to Lanzarote for the past 20 years and will be returning in January 2016 from 7 – 14 and 14 – 21st. If you’d like to join us, please let us know as soon as possible. If you’d like to learn more,

The country's top detective says sexual assault victims are not well-served by the justice system, as data reveals 85 per cent of rapes reported to police aren't getting to court.
Detective Superintendent Tim Anderson, the national crime manager for the New Zealand Police, spoke to the Herald as part of its investigation into unresolved violent sexual assaults.
The investigation found the rate of unresolved sexual violence cases was the highest it has ever been, although previous misreporting by police likely contributed to the lower historic rate.
Anderson, who had 25 years in the police, told the Herald the main reason cases were not put forward for prosecution was because they did not meet the evidential threshold.
To meet the threshold, the Solicitor General's prosecution guidelines say there needs to be enough credible evidence for there to a "reasonable prospect" a jury will convict.
However because many sexual assault cases revolved around the issue of consent, they often boiled down to "he said, she said" and weren't strong enough to put before the court.
Anderson said it was a frustration to police.
"Investigators work tirelessly, passionately," he said. "They get disappointed like any other human when they've toiled away at a certain case and the evidence has been there, or they believe the evidence has been there, and the outcome isn't what people expect."
His view was that many of the cases were not suited to New Zealand's "bruising" adversarial justice system.
"Me personally, I think the system isn't serving our victims well. That's my own view in terms of years of investigating these cases and thinking about this quite deeply."
Anderson suggested a shift away from the adversarial approach for sex cases entirely, to an inquisitorial model might help.
Or - and while he knew defence lawyers would be aghast - he said juries could be replaced with specialist judges, or panels of judges.
"You could tinker around the edges of the system - there could be other things - but would that change biases brought by individual jury members? Probably not."
Convenor of the New Zealand Law Society criminal law committee Steve Bonnar, QC, said most defence lawyers would be strongly resistant to the removal of juries in sexual assault trials.
"Trial by jury is a significant right and an established right and I don't think you'd likely remove that in any case, let alone in cases where people can go to jail for 20 years," Bonnar said.
"We like to think judges are more objective than juries but the reality is that when judges do it day in day out, they're human too ... and there's a risk that judges can lose impartiality as well."
Bonnar said while he accepted there was a problem with the under-reporting of sexual violence, he said it was important to maintain a standard of evidential sufficiency.
"The other side is that I would say most experienced defence lawyers have dealt with cases where they've been convinced it was a false complaint - and they may be relatively rare - but we do need a system that is robust enough to protect against those things."
Yesterday, Parliamentary Under-Secretary to the Minister of Justice Jan Logie said she expected to take recommendations later this year for a reform package on sexual violence.

As of 1 January, only one ‘fiscal’ road leads to Rome
Many organizations will remember 2018 as the ‘Year of Compliance’. After all, the implementation of GDPR regulations didn’t exactly go by unnoticed. Organizations that are either established or have branches in Italy are now facing the obligation to start e-invoicing as of 1 January 2019. The new requirements go way beyond simply sending invoices as a PDF file. They include checks by Italian tax authorities, regulations with regard to classification and numbering as well as very strict deadlines!
B2B and B2G
Formally speaking, the obligations are introduced by the Italian Budget Law for 2018 (205/2017) that modifies the legislative Decree no. 127/2015. While already in effect for the public subcontract sector and supplies of petrol or diesel fuel since 1 July 2018, the regulations will also apply to general B2B transactions as of 1 January 2019. From that day on, all accounts receivable invoices must be transmitted to the Italian tax authorities through an Interchange System called SDI (Sistema di Interscambio). To do so, e-invoices also have to meet specific format requirements: FatturaPA. Classifying AR invoices as either B2B or B2G (Business to Government) seems relatively easy. However, is your EBS, or any other ERP system, really capable of making the distinction? In other words: are your customer master data up-to-date? In most organizations it is not a priority as the necessity was not evident.
Moreover, tax authorities will use the e-invoicing information as the only source of truth for revenue and output tax in VAT declarations. You have to make sure that every AR invoice submitted to the SDI platform is included in your VAT declaration and the other way around. In daily practice this is no mean feat either. And how do you make sure that all revenue from your GL trial balance is used as the basis for your VAT declaration? So far, a lot of rejections in Spain, where similar regulations have already been in effect for some time, are related to incorrect customer tax registration numbers. To prevent such rejections, which take precious time to correct, VIES validation (VAT Information Exchange System) becomes more critical in the process. However, when using VIES, tax registration numbers can only be validated per customer or in small batches. Automating this process saves time and nuisance.
The reasons for taking action now are plentiful, for instance by mapping your current situation to establish what is still missing. Although compliance is mandatory as per 1 January 2019, sanctions will only become applicable from 1 July, leaving you with some additional time to organize a smoothly working process. At 4apps we have both the necessary EBS and VAT process expertise (we‘ve been there…). If you have any questions about your current situation and/or necessary measures, please mail to Henk Tiesma at firstname.lastname@example.org any time!

Third Battle of Panipat
January 14th is the day of Pride for all Hindus all over the world !! The greatest battle recorded in history was Panipat III war on 14th Jan 1761.
The Hindus (Maraathaas) fought the war with the Islamic Afghans (Ahmed Shah Abdaali was leading them) at PaniPat (Haryana) on this very day 250 Years ago !!
Maraathaas were the supreme power at that time and even Moghuls had treaty with Maraathaas and put Maraathaas as their “Protectors”. On “Laal Killaa” (Red Fort) of Delhi there used to be a Bhagavaa Flag of Maraathaas.
The impact of this war was – Abdali had to go back and he and his descendants never returned and foreign sorties on HinduSthaan were stopped.
Let us remember the Great Heroes of this land who fought for the pride and Unity of Nation !!
Maraathaas were led by VishwaasRao Peshwa and SadaaShivRao Bhaau. Even today there are folk lore in the name of Maraathaa Heroes in Haryana !!
Let us all pray and offer our Pranaam and Vandan to them !!!

Things I liked: wow. this air rifle is awesome! I use it for my JROTC unit for marksmanship, and I always shoot 250's or above with this bad boy. I love the adjustable stock,butt, and trigger. The cylinders are easy to refill with a tank, and the pistol grip is very comfortable. The trigger is very smooth and jerking doesn't mess up your shots very much, but it isn't recommended.
Things I would have changed: There isn't a safety button on this rifle, so you have to be very careful with it. I wish that they hadn't discontinued it. I'm not quite sure why they have, it's an awesome rifle.
What others should know: THERE IS NO SAFETY. You have to be VERY, VERY, VERY cautious with this air rifle. Also, the trigger is VERY sensitive. even after adjustment, the trigger was not as sensitive, but it was still sensitive. You learn how to get used to it after a while.

First biodynamic experiences
With the switch to a biological way of working, interest arose in dealing with biodynamics. We were able to gain our first experiences, among other things, by darning cow horns together with colleagues or by spreading compost tea in our vineyards.
We are always motivated by the "everything can - nothing has to" motivation, because after all we want to remain true to our philosophy and implement it with the resources available to us.
Our picture shows the mixing of horn manure preparation (P500) and our preparation syringe that Michael built for us.
The picture below shows the finished horn manure. After we stuffed fresh cow manure into cow horns last autumn, this was then to the

Soil creatures and microorganisms, we were able to our
