As for things to see and do, there is a wealth of things to see and do; have a look on the Oludeniz & Fethiye forums; it's a lovely area.Edited: 04 February 2018, 07:16
You can get a boat trip if you are staying in Hisaronu - but it is up in the mountains so you have to travel down to either Olu Deniz (where the boats leave from the beach) or Fethiye (where the boats leave from the harbour!)
So Hisaronu is not on the sea like Marmaris, but there is plenty to see and do in the area!
Been going to marmaris for 16 yrs and also wanted a change so we went to hisaronu and what a lovely place. Its very different from marmaris and alot smaller but still lots to do.
We've been going to Hisaronu for the last 20 years and I'm still finding new things to do, so more than enough to keep you all busy.
The main difference with boats trips in this area is you won't find any of them being all inclusive as you do in Marmaris.
Have a look at the below links for things to do, prices etc. Both tour operators are based in Hisaronu and are reputable.
Hope this helps.
we have been to marmaris but prefer Hisaronu area as lots to do,loads of great places to eat, bars to suit all tastes and we find people seem more friendly. For great trips with briliant service see the link below, yes you can get cheaper but we have never had a bad experience and have complete peace of mind once we have booked our trips.
As everyone has said you can either get a trip that departs from Oludeniz or Fethiye. Fethiye is our preference, much easier to get onto the boat from the harbor. There's loads to do in Hisaronu and the surrounding resorts. The Hotel Room Escape in Ovacik is excellent fun, there's a few smaller water parks, The Olive Garden in Kabak is always worth a visit, visit the lagoon or explore the streets of Fethiye.
I Have stayed in both and now wouldn't return to marmaris it feel more up class to me the food is nicer and so are the people
Hisaronu definitely!! Hi chez. Hrew up spending 6weeks out of the year in Marmaris and icmeler for 19 years ... Came to hisaronu 7 yrs ago as part of a late deal and have never returned to Marmaris since... I'm about to book my 11th visit to hisaronu and massively regret all the time spend on the Marmaris side. Similar trios to Marmaris just better scenery and people. They respext you and don't hassle you it's a tiny place and just perfect in comparison to marmaris.
Thank you all for you're replies we have booked Hisaronu,we are looking forward to it so much, roll on June'!

Transformers are cool again
Fantastic. This seemed like a horrible idea, taking a cheesy anime geared at children from the 80's and turning it into a live action blockbuster for adults 20 years later. But it was genius. All those kids who had grown up with it and were now adults not only got to relive a bit of their childhood through it but also experiance something new in the franchise they used to love. I believe this movie has started a trend (unfortunately it will probably be a bad one) of animated 80's tv shows being turned into high budget movies. But the reason for this is because this one was go good. Shia LeBouf was excellent in his role and the fact that they brought back the voice of megatron (at least in the american version) was excellent. This movie single handedly made transformers cool again, a feat I didn't think possible. The story was great and well thought out, the CGI was excellent. Special points should be given to the acting in this one since so much of the interactions and action scenes had to be done with CGI the actors really had to give it their all and they did. Also, more special props for staying true to the tranforming noise.

Dr. Kam Tareen trained in acupuncture at what might be an unexpected place: Harvard Medical School. The course he took there united ancient medicinal practices with Western ones, helping him to practice both. At Advanced Physician Acupuncture, though, he focuses on the former. His treatments include Japanese acupuncture, ear acupuncture for bodywide pain control, massage therapy, and nonsurgical Face-Lifts, which rely on acupuncture needles to stoke the face's production of collagen.
Precision Health & Wellness Center's experienced massage therapists offer a trio of massage modalities to eliminate stress and tension. Clients can reduce torso-trapped stress during a one-hour Swedish massage, which employs gentle strokes and firm kneading to intimidate knot bullies into leaving town. Deep-tissue massage utilizes targeted pressure and power movements to trigger a tendon chain reaction of relaxation that may also relieve chronic pain. Physical laborers, sportsmen, and veteran soccer balls can eliminate the aches of athletic competition with a sports massage, a treatment that soothes overworked muscles to enhance performance. Customers can treat their back muscles to a therapeutic session during Precision Health & Wellness Center's office hours on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Nationally board-certified oriental-medicine specialist Nancy R. Radice believes that effective and natural healing can be achieved without scalpels, pills, or robotic nursing assistants. Drawing from ancient practices that date from more than 2,500 years ago, Nancy performs acupuncture and Chinese-medicine treatments to re-establish harmony in the body, stimulating key nerves under the skin with strategically placed needles during acupuncture and precise finger pressure in acupressure massages.
Through Nambudripad?s Allergy Elimination Technique, or NAET, she also helps identify clients? allergies, whether they spring from certain medicines, vegetables, grasses, or plants. After hunting down each allergy, she?ll draw from a range of disciplines?including acupuncture, energy balancing, chiropractic medicine, and nutritional studies?to treat allergies in the hopes of reducing or negating their sneeze-inducing effects.
Licensed acupuncturist Lance David Isakov practices kundalini yoga, reiki, qi gong, zero balancing, plant-spirit medicine, and other healing techniques like a basketball player practices a jump shot or a pianist practices the piano—with equal parts dedication and joy. He and his staff of fellow licensed acupuncturists and wellness practitioners bundle those same services at Wayne Family Wellness. There, he guides students and patients through overcoming an array of disorders and conditions, including stress, allergies, and fatigue using both classic five element and traditional Chinese medicine styles of acupuncture. Isakov’s wife and certified massage therapist Amy Isakov also lends a therapeutic hand during Swedish, Thai, reflexology, and deep-tissue massages.
Acupuncture is a gentle application of specifically placed thin needles that promote healing and decrease pain. This ancient modality dates back to 5000 BC and is currently world renowned for its affects on the reduction of pain.
Certified acupuncturist and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner Adriane Dourte wields drug-free techniques to vanquish pain and alleviate a range of health complaints. A Philadelphia native, Adriane received her masters in TCM before deepening her knowledge through an externship at Zhejiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Hangzhou, China. There, she received hands-on training with doctors at TCM hospitals, as well as lectures from top professionals in the field.
Adriane's treatments employ TCM techniques from acupuncture with sterile, disposable needles to moxibustion, during which a carefully selected blend of herbs burns on or close to the skin. Using knowledge of each patient's medical history, she can customize sessions to address a range of conditions as diabetes, anxiety, or neck pain from watching out for falling asteroids.

The question in my previous post, “Be on the Lookout for Student’s Writings!” (click here for link), is shown below. One of my piano/voice/theory students, Hailey, responded with her answer, which I think describes the correlation between music styles & moods VERY well. :) What would your answer be? Contact me privately (kristin@smalltownmusiclessons) for your response to be published separately as it’s own post. :)
Does listening to background music affect the mood of your writing? What music do you find most soothing, or perhaps, motivating for the creativity to flow? Do you find that listening to specific types or styles of music change your overall mood and outlook on life at that moment?

Greta Thunberg becomes famous when she passionately heads a global youth-based movement against climate change. Their “climate strike” catches attention worldwide. This amazes Bongbong Marcos to the verge of becoming speechless. The efforts of the 17-year-old Thunberg is just remarkable. She started protesting outside Sweden’s parliament in 2018. She joins protesters on College Green again in the UK.

Climate Strike | Bongbong Marcos
The Youth’s Plea on Climate Change
With the advent of climate strike around the world where the world’s youth have called to account previous generations for the harm WE have brought to their patrimony, our legacy, our Earth.
The Philippines is 4th in the World
The 2015 report of the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction is Marcos’ reference. The Philippines is fourth in the world among countries hit by the highest number of disasters. This is due to climate change. The super-typhoon Yolanda lessons must enable Filipinos to build structures that can withstand natural disasters, suggested Marcos. Typhoons and floods are frequent in the country, he added. He notes that many of the casualties of Yolanda even lost their lives in evacuation centers. Collapsed structures during the super typhoon and storm surge drowning were the culprits.
Improve Disaster Preparedness
Marcos urges all government agencies to improve their disaster preparedness. Distributing relief goods and rescuing people during times of natural calamities must be efficient enough. The Archdiocese of Cebu echoes is in line with this idea. They are working with partners to equip rescue transport systems and evacuation centers in communities with solar panels in case other fuels can’t work under extreme conditions. These efforts must be done nationwide.

Thanks for choosing Colonial Toyota! Our Showroom is OPEN! We are also here to help guide you through the online buying process. Please enter your information below and one of our representatives will reach out shortly. Thank you!
You will receive a message from a real person at our store (not an automated response). As such, it may take us a moment to respond.
As one of the biggest, if not the actual biggest, automaker on the planet, Toyota is no stranger to setting the bar for the rest of the automotive industry. However, if there is one deficiency in the Toyota roster, it’s something that is just dripping with tire-melting performance and curve-carving handling. The 2020 Toyota Supra in Milford, CT will certainly change that. After more than 20 years of shuttered production, the Supra name is back and the unique badge will be worn on the highest-performing sports coupe the brand has made available in the United States. If there is a distinctly European flavor to the 2020 Toyota Supra, that’s probably because a lot of its testing and development happened across the pond. It was tested in the winding road of the Alps as well as on the grueling Nürburgring race track.
Toyota engineers and designers who worked on the 2020 Supra looked as much to the past as they did to the future for the new sports coupe. Sharp-eyed Colonial Toyota customers may notice the double-bubble roof design, pioneered by the Toyota 2000 GT, with the new Supra. Additionally, the all-new Supra shares more than a passing resemblance to the FT-1 concept car that was produced by the automaker’s research arm in California. When the 2020 Supra arrives in our showroom later this year, the driver and passenger will wrap themselves in racing-inspired seats while still having access to useable cockpit meant for every day driving. Several convenience features will be standard equipment in the 2020 Toyota Supra, including Keyless Smart Entry, dual automatic climate controls and a rear camera.
The 2020 Toyota Supra looks like it’s going 100 miles per hour when it’s standing still. Toyota needed a special power plant to deliver that kind of performance when it’s actually in motion. Under the long hood is a turbocharged, 3.0-liter, inline six-cylinder engine that will be attached to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Owners of the 2020 Toyota Supra will get to use 335 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque from the twin-scroll turbocharged engine. Toyota estimates say that it will be able to accelerate from zero-to-60 mph in 4.1 seconds and hit a top speed of 155 mph. Engineers have also included Launch Control.

Stuttgart, July 22, (dpa/GNA) - German carmaker Daimler plans to present its updated plans for the approaching electric age at an investor day on Thursday.
The company did not comment on the contents in advance.
So far, the Stuttgart-based company has set itself a target that electric and hybrid vehicles should account for half of its own passenger car sales by 2030. In addition, the entire Mercedes new car fleet should be CO2-neutral by 2039 at the latest.
Group chief executive Ola Kaellenius has recently said repeatedly that he now sees possible a faster breakthrough of electromobility than originally envisaged. In that regard, Daimler's planning bases so far "are perhaps too conservative," he said in April.
So far, Daimler has earned by far most of its money with conventional combustion cars, meaning petrol or diesel vehicles.
The number of all-electric cars sold in the first half of the year accounted for just over 3 per cent of all cars delivered, plus a slightly higher proportion of hybrid cars.
However, the industry - partly due to political requirements - expects rapidly growing sales quotas for electric cars in the next few years.
Competitive pressure is high, and many manufacturers have now announced far-reaching electric targets.
For example, Volkswagen, with its core brand VW Passenger Cars alone, wants to generate at least 70 per cent of its sales in Europe from the sale of purely electric vehicles by 2030.
The VW Group wants to have converted half of its entire model range to battery cars by 2030.

Moments Before Rajiv’s Murder: Nalini Tells Her Side of the Story
The book will remain a controversial and yet important document on Rajiv’s assassination.
The secrecy that shrouds the life of Nalini Sriharan ever since she was convicted for the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi has always been intriguing for journalists. She is perhaps the longest serving woman prisoner in the world. When Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated, Nalini was clandestinely married to Murugan, and was pregnant. Since then, she has been meeting Murugan only once every fortnight inside the jail premises, sometimes even forfeiting the right when she decides to lodge a protest for other demands, like being allowed to meet her daughter.
When Priyanka Gandhi met Nalini in Vellore Jail in early 2008, the meeting was again shrouded in mystery. Much was speculated over the years, before Nalini opened up and said what had really transpired.
Nalini’s Autobiography: An Attempt to Tell Her Side of the Story
The book Rajiv Assassination: Hidden truths and the meeting between Nalini and Priyanka is an autobiography of sorts and seeks to place before the readers the assassination and its aftermath, from Nalini's point of view. Throughout the book, Nalini insists she never had an inkling of the conspiracy until it had happened.
The book will remain a controversial and yet important document on Rajiv's assassination.
The book has been compiled by journalist Ekalaivan and published through his Yaazh Pathippakam. Eklaivan acknowledges the support of Nalini's lawyer Pugazhendhi, Nalini's husband Murugan, and Murugan's friends Erode Perarivaalan and Vellore Saravanan.
The following is Nalini’s account of what happened in the days and moments leading to the murder of Rajiv Gandhi, an assassination that changed the future of an entire nation.
The Day I Met Sivarasan (Excerpts of Chapter 4) by Nalini Sriharan
I was home on 7 May 1991. There was a bus strike for some reason. By afternoon, Sivarasan brought Dhanu and Shuba home. Dhanu and Shuba told me about a public meeting in Nandanam attended by VP Singh, actor Sivaji Ganesan and MK Stalin. They said that they wanted to meet VP Singh and garland him. They urged me to join them. I agreed since I was sitting idle at home. Actually, I was thrilled at the idea of seeing VP Singh from close quarters. They were happy that I was joining them. On the way, we met my husband. I also met Perarivaalan and Hari Babu at the meeting.
We reached the spot of the public meeting by 6pm. Many people were on the stage, speaking. VP Singh arrived by 1am. Dhanu attempted garlanding him but failed. He received the garland with his hand when he was leaving the stage. I was also given a camera to take photographs. But in the commotion, I couldn’t take any pictures. Hari Babu was standing opposite the stage at that time and he couldn’t take photos too.
Sivarasan was very angry about Dhanu not being able to garland him and our failure to take photos. He was taking all of us to task, asking us not to fail next time. I was nervous and confused. I was upset by the way my husband’s face changed. But we couldn’t speak up. I could see that even Hari Babu was upset.
Shuba and Dhanu later tried to explain that he was angry because of the opportunity lost. “If we had the photographs, we could try and meet him (VP Singh) later and earn his confidence by showing the photos,” they told me.
Much later I realised it was a lie to hoodwink us. They wanted us to believe that both garlanding and photographing it were only attempts to nurture the goodwill of leaders like VP Singh which would then be used to help Tamil people in Sri Lanka. They wanted us to believe there was nothing more to it. Sivarasan’s anger was also an attempt to make us believe that there was nothing more to it.
We were there at the public meeting venue for about seven hours between 6pm to 2am. But during the enquiry, nobody deposed that they had seen us there. CBI too did not interrogate us about it. But three people had said that they had seen me at Sriperumbudur on 21 May 1991. Two of them were from Congress. One was a woman cop. I understood it was possible to fabricate witnesses to suit one’s agenda.
(Editor’s note: Nalini then explains that her husband was away from May 10 to May 17, during which time she also realizes she was pregnant and conveys the news to him over the phone.)
It was my day off on 18 May. Shuba and Dhanu came to my Villivakkam residence and asked me to accompany them for sightseeing. I felt sorry for them. They wouldn’t have seen much in their own country.
We went to Mahabalipuram and came back to Villivakkam later in the evening. Then, we went to watch a movie that night at a theater in Villivakkam. On 19 May too, we were going around. We went to temples and shops, and returned later in the evening. Shuba asked me if we could go and watch a movie that night too. But I was tired and had to go to work the next day, so I refused. They were chatting through the night. Next morning, they left and I went to work.
On 21 May, I went to work and asked for leave to attend the meeting. My boss told me to work for some time and leave. I worked for about an hour and left for my Royapettah home.
As the Events Unfolded on the D-Day
I was desperately hoping to meet my husband. It had been long since I saw him. But when I reached home, it was locked. I opened the door, ate something and left. I had to join Shuba and Dhanu to go to the Sriperumbadur public meeting. I was thinking of returning to Royapettah after the public meeting and seeing my husband. I was planning to take him to the Vilivakkam residence and discuss the next step since I was now pregnant (The were clandestinely married). By now Dhanu and Shuba joined me and we started towards Parry’s corner.
Even when I was thinking and planning all of this, I was excited about seeing a great leader, a former prime minister, up-close. When we reached the bus terminus at Parry’s corner, Sivarasan and Hari Babu were waiting for us.
We joined them and reached Sriperumbadur by 7pm. Dhanu and Shuba were talking animatedly in the bus. I could understand from their conversations that they were thrilled about theatres and movies. When we reached the public meeting venue, it was not so crowded. But soon the venue began to swell with crowds. They kept announcing that the arrival of Rajiv Gandhi was delayed. I suddenly realized that Dhanu and Sivarasan were not walking with us any longer. I turned to look at them, and saw that they were fighting. I couldn’t hear them though. I checked with Shuba and she told me it was normal. “Nothing to worry Akka. They always talk that way,” she told me. In some time, Dhanu and Sivarasan joined us, and I could see that they were back to their old form.
Now, I was confused as to how we were going to reach the VIP enclosure crossing the crowds. But things were moving very quickly. Sivarasan was apparently familiar to all the important people there. I was not aware of who they were. But it was clear they were people from the Congress. I could see Sivarasan was laughing and joking with them. Then he took Dhanu alone to VIP enclosure. Shuba and I went to the women’s enclosure and began listening to the music program.
Music directors Shankar-Ganesh were conducting the program. Sivarasan took Dhanu to the queue where VIPs were standing to wish Rajiv Gandhi and was later seen talking to other Congress leaders in a casual way.
Was She Tricked?
The crowd was excited. The police were present in full force in the VIP enclosure. Leaders were walking around telling people that Rajiv Gandhi is on his way. Like others, I was glued to the path hoping to catch a glimpse of Rajiv Gandhi.
It was 10.15 pm. The cries became shrill. Slogans hailing Rajiv the leader were raised. I couldn’t see what was happening. People told me that the leader stepped down from the car and was now going to garland the statue of Indira Gandhi. In some time, announcements were made about Rajiv Gandhi’s arrival. But from where we were standing nothing was visible. I asked Shuba if we can go to the front to get a better view. Shuba refused, held my hand and went further back, away from the stage. I asked her what the issue was. She only said, “Nothing, be silent.”
She further pulled me back. I thought she was taking a circuitous route to the stage since it was too crowded. I was going with her, led by her firm hand. The firmness of her hand had a message that I failed to decipher at that time.

Peer Learning Forum
Lessons for successful housing microfinance product development
October 21-23 | Naivasha, Kenya
As part of the Center for Innovation in Shelter and Finance’s flagship “Building Assets, Unlocking Access” project, the Center is organizing a forum to exchange lessons and knowledge to support the expansion of affordable housing in Sub-Saharan Africa by bringing together financial and housing sector practitioners to learn from each other’s experiences in adding and expanding housing microfinance products and services.
The “Building Assets, Unlocking Access” project launched in 2012 and aims to build the capacity of local financial institutions to reach those low income families who were previously unable to access loans to improve their homes and living conditions. The project has been working with financial service providers (FSPs) in Uganda and Kenya to develop housing microfinance products that will best serve low-income families in these countries. Several of these products were recently launched on the market and the forum will be an opportunity for the financial institutions participating in the project to exchange their insights on the achievements, challenges and lessons learned in developing their products. The conversations will also explore how the housing and finance sector can strengthen their links towards the provision of affordable housing through market system approaches.
Catalyzing the market for housing microfinance
A diverse group of stakeholders will discuss the opportunities and challenges to introduce, test and scale products and services that enable families to borrow, save and invest in building their homes incrementally. They will participate in an engaging dialogue, igniting an exchange across housing and financial sectors about the potential for housing microfinance products to retain, attract and empower clients while strengthening the product portfolios and market position of financial providers.
Guests will include financial service providers, The MasterCard Foundation, MicroBuild Fund Managers, Association of Microfinance Institutions, Housing finance industry players and housing construction industry players.
At the end of the forum the participants will have:
- Heard from other peer organizations on the opportunities and challenges of implementing housing microfinance products and services.
- Heard from other peer organizations on the relevance and ways to provide non-financial housing support services to complement housing microfinance products.
- Explored together the relevance of including other types of support to enhance the expansion of affordable housing solutions for the bottom of the pyramid.
- Established the necessary traits to expand affordable housing through housing microfinance.
- Shared the main lessons on the process of developing and/or refining housing microfinance products and services.
- Defined required support to continue expanding housing microfinance portfolios.
General Forum Agenda
Day 1: Context of the Project: Why Housing Microfinance?
- The business case for housing microfinance, beyond reducing the gap between supply and the demand of affordable housing.
- How the “Building Assets, Unlocking Access” project contributes to reducing the housing deficit in Sub-Saharan Africa?
- What types of linkages with market actors can support the expansion of affordable housing in Sub-Saharan Africa and how can this project improve the facilitation of linkages among market actors to explain affordable housing?
Day 2: Lessons Learned on the Design of HMF Products and How Non-Financial Housing Support Services Support These Products
- Housing Support Services: Examples from around the world.
- Overcoming challenges of providing housing support services.
- Market opportunities to provide housing support services.
Day 3: The Way Forward
- What is needed in order to continue enhancing the capacity of financial service providers to provide housing microfinance products?
- Training session for financial service providers on marketing and branding of products.

4. Brittanys: I suspect that as hunting has become less common as a sport, the breeds so closely associated with the pursuit have fallen out favor. And that’s unfortunate, because the Brittany is a dog that can do more than just hunt. The Brittany's compact size makes him a good match for an active family, and he's a natural at modern-day canine sporting events such as agility.
5. Cocker Spaniels: These little bird dogs were top of the heap for decades, the most sought-after of all purebred dogs. Their reign at the top of the American Kennel Club rankings finally ended with a wave of Poodles. I still see a fair number of Poodles — and even more Poodle-oodle mixes — but Cockers are relatively rare. And that’s a shame, because like the Irish Setter, these dogs are sweet, beautiful and full of fun.
Make no mistake: I love all the dogs — and cats — I see whether on the street or over the exam room table, and I live to help them all be healthier and happier. But I do miss some of the dogs who used to be so popular. I know, however, that they’re only one hit TV show, movie or commercial away from being popular again.

“Lowering the cost of college, helping students access quality degrees and providing them with the support they need to graduate." – Rep. Bobby Scott, House Democratic Representative in Higher Ed Dive Briefing
In recent articles, Felder Official has offered insights on the top priorities of the House Republicans' agenda in reforming Higher Education. We specifically discussed Rep. Elise Stefanik's comments in an op-ed in the New York Post regarding antisemitism, Universities receiving foreign gifts in donor relations, and using taxpayer dollars to fund diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. With the republican perspective highlighted, it is essential also to provide some insights on the priorities of the House Democratic leadership and the discussions regarding overhauling higher education.
As we look more intently at the contemporary issues plaguing higher education, the Department of Education, under democratic leadership, announced a FAFSA delay that would impose a domino effect on current students who depend on Federal Student Aid. Additionally, incoming First-Year students' decisions could affect which college they should attend. Most first-year student decisions heavily conduct a Financial Aid package comparison of all schools to where they have been admitted before selecting the final institution of choice. With this FAFSA delay, their decisions will be delayed, thus causing late deposits and yield rates for The Offices of Undergraduate Admission.
"There is some good news: One big reason for the delay is that the department is fixing a $1.8 billion mistake in the FAFSA that could have especially hurt lower-income students. At best, proceeding without a fix would have confused many lower-income borrowers."
Cory Turner with NPR notes, "There is some good news: One big reason for the delay is that the department is fixing a $1.8 billion mistake in the FAFSA that could have especially hurt lower-income students. At best, proceeding without a fix would have confused many lower-income borrowers. At worst, it would have taken money out of their pockets and likely discouraged some from enrolling in college.”
"With the democratic leadership looking to prioritize the cost of college, this is a step in the right direction, but the timing is costly."
With the democratic leadership looking to prioritize the cost of college, this is a step in the right direction, but the timing is costly. Over the last decade, invaluable work has been done to simplify the FAFSA process for students and families to improve student access to higher education institutions. With the delayed timeline, we are also looking at the institutional impact of tuition-dependent institutions, which is nearly all colleges to some degree. So, while the efforts to fix decades-long decay in the FAFSA processing and financing, the timing could have been more acutely implemented.
Another factor that often goes unnoticed is the impact of FAFSA on graduate and professional students. Although we are not undergraduate students, we depend on these disbursements to finance graduate programs. This is not necessarily the priority, or perhaps even the second, but the third, as we think about the economic and financial return on investments, driving the ratings and validity of graduate programs.
The republican house representatives are combating a social justice perspective on our college campuses, while the democratic house representatives seem focused on the practical and economic returns on higher education outcomes. Both approaches seem timely, given the current landscape. However, policy and legislation regarding reform should prioritize social mobility overall. Then, students would be equipped with social, economic, and financial gains, limiting any possibility of future impunity.
Rebuttals are always welcome,

Miles of streets remain on 2019 paving schedule
NASHUA – As temperatures start to cool and summer turns to fall, officials with the Nashua Division of Public Works hope the infrastructure work they have performed for the last six months will mitigate the harsh New Hampshire winter.
Whether it be paving roadways, repairing sidewalks, fixing depreciated sewer and water systems, city employees have been out on the streets, working to make improvements they hope members of the public will notice.
Friday, officials at the division spoke of success since last winter, as well as what they hope to accomplish by the time the departments have to turn to sanding and plowing snow off the roadways.
Lauren Byers, spokeswoman for the DPW, said officials have seen approximately 23 miles of roads and streets paved to this point in the year. Some of these areas also saw underground infrastructure repaired.
“We had many roads addressed, including some of our major throughways, such as Broad Street, Kinsley Street, Amherst Street, and some others.”
With many of the planned roads completed, Byers said public works officials still hope to address 7 more miles worth of streets, either completely or to the point that they will be ready for major snowfall.
“Before we get to plowing, we need to either appropriately prepare the surfaces so that people can drive over the streets and the plows can get through, or else finish up the project completely, if possible,” she said.
With the major streets – such as Amherst, Broad, and Kinsley – having been repaved, Byers said this work also addressed three roads that had persistent pothole issues.
With those roads paved and officials focusing more effort toward other potholes, it will give the division a chance to focus pothole repairs through the winter.
“We spent much time and energy repairing the potholes, and now that they have been fixed, we can hopefully get to potholes in other areas of the city this winter,” Byers said.
Along with all the paving and pothole repair, DPW also worked to repair cracked streets around the city that were not on this year’s paving schedule.
“We did about 30 miles of crack sealing,” Byers added. “It will help take care of roads that are already falling apart until we can take care of them in the future.”
The city’s streets also saw their fair share of sinkholes, which Byers said seemed to occur slightly more than usual this year. Some of those popping up on Manchester Street and two opened on Main Street, while there were a handful of smaller ones scattered through Nashua.
“We spent a lot of time and energy fixing sinkholes. We had some major ones – some were bigger than others,” she said.
While many of those sinkholes occurred because of deteriorating pipes underground, Byers said the city continued to make strides in repairing areas known to be aging.
“Our Engineering Department continues to reline the sewers,” she said. “The are making repairs to those that are in need of more than relining.”
With all the work done throughout the year, Byers said once winter arrives, residents and drivers making their way through Nashua should notice a difference in the quality of travel.
“I think people are going to start enjoying driving around our city once again,” she said.

Abbeville 4-H tackles health issues, one meal at a time | News
ABBEVILLE — Mikaela Gambrell is opposed to a hypothetical dinner of four bacon strips.
There are no veggies, grains or fruits there — it’s far from a complete meal.
She suggested tweaks to others: a dinner of pasta drizzled with olive oil and a pinch of salt should also have some vegetables and some kind of protein, and a burger with a salad on the side could use fruit.
In a modest, county-owned building on Industrial Park Road, Abbeville’s 4-H program is tackling the chronic diseases that ail Abbevillians, one cooking lesson at a time. Kids are taught how to read food labels and make informed choices at the supermarket.
The program has not strayed from 4-H’s roots as an organization spreading agricultural knowledge to young people who, with each succeeding generation, are increasingly more likely to lack it. But it has also diversified, and in Abbeville, more than one-third of this summer’s camps are food-themed.
“Our statistics here in Abbeville are pretty grim according to our hospital that did a needs assessment,” said Jenny Mountford, Abbeville’s 4-H officer.
The Affordable Care Act requires hospitals to conduct a community needs assessment every three years to determine what a community’s needs are and how they can be met.
Amanda Morgan, who conducted the assessment for Abbeville Area Medical Center, said areas of concern were obesity, access to healthy food and diabetes, from which about a third of the people who come to the hospital suffer from.
Most chronic illnesses like diabetes “could be completely eliminated with a healthy lifestyle,” said Kaylor Arant, of Clemson’s SNAP-ed program, who volunteers with 4-H.
“We do find that a lot of kids don’t know what a balanced plate looks like,” Mountford said. The balanced plate has replaced the food pyramid as the system by which the government recommends food groups — and which to seek or avoid — are taught.
Mountford also uses a stoplight system to teach the kids in her program that nutrition isn’t as simple as eating or avoiding something. Some foods are bad — in excess.
Foods they can eat with abandon are green, or “go.” Those they have to think twice about are yellow, or “slow.” And those they shouldn’t eat at all are red, or “no.”
Wednesday afternoon, the kids made black bean quesadillas after Mountford ran them through the rules of the kitchen, like keeping sanitary and using knives safely.
Studies have found that nutrition and poverty are linked. And in Abbeville, where each school falls under Title I designation, a high percentage of its students come from low-income families.
Although people experiencing poverty are limited in what they can afford and often lack the transport they need to get to a market with fresh produce, Mountford wants to teach children who might come from such families how to make good decisions “so that when they’re old enough to make a decision for themselves, they’re at least educated,” Mountford said.
The community, Morgan hopes, will eventually reap the benefits of these lessons.
“When you address the needs of any community, as the healthcare system, we can’t tackle all of them,” Morgan said. As such, the 4-H program is a critical partner.
“You have to start these healthy habits young,” she said. “When you have a 40-year-old person and you tell them to stop eating things, it’s a lot harder than when you have a person who’s 7 or 8.”
4-H’s roots in agriculture help impart the message Morgan was children to absorb, she said.
“In order for the children to understand healthy eating and healthy living habits, the first step is to understand where your food comes from,” Morgan said. “They’re curious by nature, they want to know the why, so you have to show them, ‘I’m not telling you to do this because I’m an adult, I want to show you this because it’s kind of cool and I want to give you that power and that knowledge.’”

The Federal Government, on Tuesday confirmed that it has received N2.4 billion (£4,214,017.66) million recovered from former Governor James Ibori of Delta State.
Abubakar Malami, Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, made the confirmation, said the money had been credited into a designated Federal Government account via naira since May 10.
He had said two weeks after that the payment of the money to Nigeria was being delayed by documentation processes in foreign banks.
According Umar Gwandu, spokesperson for the Minister who issued the statement, said the money was paid into the Nigerian government’s account in Naira.
He had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the repatriation, noting that the development was in line with the current administration’s posture to sustain the country’s reputation as being one that deployed recovered assets to the execution of people-oriented projects.
Since the pact for repatriation of the funds, there have been heated argument among Nigerians on whether the money should be returned to the Delta State Government.
Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, had maintained that the money is returned to the state where it was allegedly misappropriated.
But the Federal Government argued that the fund is deployed for better infrastructure, including the Second Niger Bridge, Lagos–Ibadan and Abuja–Kano expressways.
Reacting, the Delta State Government said it will keep engaging the Federal Government through dialogue for sharing of the recovered loot.
The immediate past Commissioner for information, Charles Aniagwu, said the Federal Government, being a good father, would be just in dealing with the issue.
He said the central government had shown a lot of “good faith and maturity by listening to questions we raised over the looted funds and the state would be accommodated in due course.”
Also, the House of Representatives member representing Ughelli and Udu Federal Constituency of Delta State, Francis Waive, has insisted that the money should be returned to the coffers of the state government.
He identified with the position of the Delta caucus, led by the Minority Leader, Ndudi Elumelu.

Reading Time: 6 minutes
I read The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald several years ago, maybe in college, and I liked it a lot. Then, a couple of weeks ago, while aimlessly surfing the web, I bumped into a review of the movie with Leo di Caprio and decided to reread it. I thought it would be fun to read while listening to the audiobook, and it was a great idea. Also, another review of a classic book in this blog wouldn’t hurt. So here it is, The Great Gatsby’s book review.
Introduction – What is The Great Gatsby?
The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is set in the Roaring Twenties and follows a series of characters living in the fictional town of West Egg. Long Island. The novel tells the story of Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire living in a mansion, and his tumultuous relationship with Daisy Buchanan, a married woman from a wealthy family. Through the character of Jay Gatsby, Fitzgerald explores themes of idealism, obsession, and the American Dream, among others. One topic that I am interested in and will include in this review is ecocriticism. I know it sounds random, but I am just curious.
The Great Gatsby Summary
The Great Gatsby’s story is narrated by a young man named Nick Carraway, who comes from the Midwest to New York City for professional reasons. But, unwillingly, he is drawn into the lives of the wealthy elite and becomes the observer of their glamorous and hedonistic lifestyle.
Nick moves to West Egg, Long Island, and starts living next door to the wealthy and mysterious Jay Gatsby. As Nick gets to know the people in his neighbor’s circle, he becomes increasingly intrigued by Gatsby’s past and connection to the beautiful and wealthy Daisy Buchanan.
“Did I tell you about the books? They’re real!”—Owl-Eyes
Throughout the novel, Fitzgerald develops Nick’s character from an innocent and idealistic young man, amazed with the life near the big city, to a more complex and disillusioned individual. Nick is initially drawn to the glamorous lifestyle of the wealthy elite, but he eventually becomes disillusioned with their empty and shallow lives.
Nick’s moral compass is tested throughout the novel as he becomes more involved in the other characters’ lives. The fact that he serves as a confidant and observer of the relationships between different characters cause him to be torn between his loyalty to Gatsby and his loyalty to Daisy. As the story progresses, Nick sees the flaws in Gatsby’s character and becomes disappointed with his grand illusions.
Nick’s development is also influenced by his interactions with other characters, including his cousin Daisy, her husband Tom, and Jordan Baker, a professional golfer with whom he becomes romantically involved. As Nick observes their relationships and their behaviors, he begins to question their values and their motivations.
Ultimately, Nick becomes a symbol of the loss of innocence and the disillusionment that characterized the era. He represents the ideals of a generation shattered by the excesses and superficiality of the wealthy elite. Through his experiences, Nick understands the hollowness of the American Dream and the actual cost of pursuing wealth and power at all costs.
Analysis of The Great Gatsby
The usual way to look at the novel is from the social class category point of view. As such, Gatsby’s pursuit of wealth and status is symbolic of the American Dream, but the existing social hierarchy and racial tensions of the time constantly thwart his efforts. However, within the dramatic aspect of the novel, it is apparent that all his simulations and lies are to win back Daisy’s love rather than to attain the status of the elite.
The novel highlights the disillusionment of the working- who cannot attain the same level of success as the wealthy elite. Thus, we could express the correlation between the characters and their dramatic function: Gatsby’s character is a symbol of the nouveau riche, who seek to establish themselves in a society that values old money and status. Daisy represents the privileged upper class, while Tom embodies the old-money aristocracy threatened by Gatsby’s rise. Myrtle’s character symbolizes the struggles of the lower class, and her affair with Tom highlights the class divide and the consequences of breaking social norms.
Themes of The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby is full of still relevant themes, such as the pursuit of the American Dream, the power of money, and the corrupting influence of materialism. These themes are explored through the character of Jay Gatsby, a self-made man who has achieved the American Dream of wealth and success. As I read through the book, I couldn’t help but be struck by how Fitzgerald portrays the American dream. It’s a seemingly unattainable ideal, always shimmering just out of reach, much like Daisy’s home green light across the bay.
In the book’s world, the characters are consumed by their desires for wealth, status, and the illusion of happiness that comes with them. Take, for instance, Jordan Baker’s willingness to marry a rich guy. But as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that the dream is ultimately hollow, built on lies and illusions. I am not sure if Fitzgerald tries to warn us that the pursuit of material success leads to a downfall, but Nick’s character development indeed implies so.
The novel also explores the theme of obsession, as Gatsby is so obsessed with Daisy that he is willing to risk everything to win her back. However, this obsession is ultimately his downfall, as it leads him to make decisions that eventually lead to his… well, read the book and see the consequences of his choices. Another central theme in The Great Gatsby is the idea of the past and its impact on the present. Throughout the novel, characters struggle to reconcile their current lives with their memories and experiences from the past. Gatsby, in particular, is obsessed with recreating his past relationship with Daisy. His primary motivation throughout the novel is to be physically close to Daisy, impress her, and eventually be with her. Unfortunately, his desire to relive the past ultimately leads to his downfall. The past as a theme is significant in the novel, as this dialogue between Nick and Gatsby shows:
“I wouldn’t ask too much of her,” I ventured. “You can’t repeat the past.”
“Can’t repeat the past?” he cried incredulously. “Why, of course you can!”
One last theme that I was curious about was environmentalism. Even though the American Dream, past, and obsession are the most commonly talked about themes, there are also some environmentalist ideas in the book. For example, the Valley of Ashes is used to show how unchecked capitalism destroys the environment and makes it worse. The Valley of Ashes is a barren, dirty wasteland halfway between West Egg and New York City. Fitzgerald uses this image to criticize the rich characters in the book, who don’t care about how their actions affect the environment or the people who live there. Also, the book’s criticism of the wealthy elite’s shallowness and materialism can be seen as a call for a more sustainable and socially responsible way of life.
Characters in The Great Gatsby
- Jay Gatsby, the novel’s main character, is a mysterious millionaire obsessed with Daisy Buchanan. He is a self-made man who has achieved the American Dream of wealth and success, but he also keeps many secrets that make for an exciting plot. The mystery of the character is built up in the novel’s first part as Gatsby doesn’t appear. Still, other characters reference information about him, such as his big parties, killing a man, being an Oxford man, etc. However, the first mention of Gatsby appears on page 9, his mansion is mentioned on page 12, and it’s not until page 26 that Nick sees Gatsby, but from afar, through the garden.
- Daisy Buchanan is a wealthy socialite who is married to Tom Buchanan. She is Gatsby’s obsession and is a symbol of the upper-class lifestyle. She is portrayed as a beautiful woman who is caught between her love for Gatsby and her marriage to Tom. Daisy represents women’s struggle in the 1920s, as she is expected to conform to societal expectations while desiring freedom and independence.
- Daisy’s husband, Tom Buchanan, is also an upper-class member. He symbolizes the old-money lifestyle and is a foil to Gatsby’s nouveau riche lifestyle. He is portrayed as a racist, sexist, and violent man who uses his wealth and power to control those around him. Tom’s character highlights the American Dream’s flaws and society’s moral decay during the period.
- Nick Carraway is the novel’s narrator and a cousin of Daisy. He is an observer of the novel’s events and a moral compass for the other characters. Nick also provides a window into the world of the wealthy elite during the Jazz Age. Nick’s character is one of moral integrity, and he serves as a foil to the other characters in the novel, highlighting their flaws and corruption. His perspective critically examines the American Dream and the society of the time.
- Myrtle Wilson and her husband, George, play essential roles in the novel. Myrtle is Tom Buchanan’s mistress, and the fact that they are together shows how immoral and corrupt the rich are. She symbolizes how people from the working class want to be rich and famous, but her quest for these things leads to her tragic end. George, her husband, is a mechanic. He symbolizes how the American Dream doesn’t work for everyone, no matter how hard you work, and how desperate those left behind feel. Myrtle and George Wilson show the difference between the rich and the poor at the time and criticize the values of the Jazz Age.
- Jordan Baker is a friend of Daisy’s and a professional golfer. Her function in the novel is to represent the new woman of the 1920s, as she is portrayed as independent and self-reliant. Jordan’s character serves as a foil to Daisy and represents the changing societal values of the time. She is also a love interest for Nick, who thinks she is dishonest and rejects her at the novel’s end.
The Great Gatsby on Screen: A Look at Movie Adaptations
As I said at the beginning, the idea for this post came to me I bumped into a review of the 2013 movie based on the book. I havent ’seen the 1974 adaptation of the novel, just the one with Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby.
Directed by Baz Luhrmann, the 2013 version is beatiful visually. The film’s use of modern music was a bold choice, but one that I thought worked well in capturing the energy and excitement of the time period. The acting was also superb, with DiCaprio bringing just the right amount of charm and tragedy to the role of Gatsby.
Here is a side by side comparison video of the movies:
My overall opinion of The Great Gatsby
As I mentioned, I believe The Great Gatsby is a great novel. All the characters are complex, with well-established motivations guiding their behaviors throughout the story. I particularly enjoyed the construction of Gatsby, which Fitzgerald achieved through the use of ellipses and circumlocution. Jordan Baker’s character also caught my attention, mainly because of her different facets.
Without giving away any spoilers, I highly recommend the last quarter of the novel. In this part, all the plot threads are resolved, the characters’ destinies are established, and an exciting contradiction is generated with Gatsby’s fate, which also shows the moral scope of Nick– I won’t tell you what it is, so read the book!
Finally, I read the book while listening to the Spotify version produced by Scott Sherratt and narrated by Scott Shepherd. Shepherd’s work is awe-inspiring because he reads and interprets the text brilliantly. Even the less essential dialogues have an exceptional intonation. Highly recommendable, indeed.

The Porsche Macan and Porsche Cayenne have been condemned for various reasons, yet they have allowed Porsche engineers to develop new sporty models one after the other.
This time Porsche made yet another statement with track-focused Porsche Cayman GT4 RS. This follows just a few months after when a Porsche 911 GT2 RS showed a breathtaking performance in Nürburgring.
Faster, lighter, and more expensive
It should be no surprise that the fastest Porsche Cayman GT4 RS is described as the most focused, track-capable, and aggressive Porsche Cayman ever made.
Jörg Bergmeister, a brand ambassador and development driver, lapped the 20.832-kilometer Nürburgring-Nordschleife circuit in 7:09.300 minutes in a barely camouflaged production car. The 718 Cayman GT4 RS completed the shorter 20.6 km circuit in 7:04.511 minutes, 23.6 seconds faster than its smaller sibling, the 718 Cayman GT4.
These figures look impressive, but it would be strange if the RS version of the Porsche Cayman would be just a tad faster than my favorite Porsche of them all, which is the Porsche Cayman GT4 with a manual gearbox.
I fell in love with it numerous times, and I am sure that the brand new version will be brilliant on a track, but it will be too much of a brute as a road car.
Porsche did not disclose more information about the car’s engine, suspension, and other vital bits. We will have to wait until the world premiere in November, but I won’t be surprised if Cayman GT4 RS will be more akin to Porsche 911 than Cayman GT4, so in theory, Porsche’s engineers could make it faster than Porsche 911 equivalents, but we all know that’s not how the world works.
Is Porsche losing exclusivity?
I never thought that a company like Porsche would be so popular as it is today. These days Porsche cars are more popular than products from other manufacturers, which are cheaper and, even occasionally, better.
Don’t get the wrong idea. I’m happy that Porsche can enjoy being a successful and profitable company, but I think this track-focused model was unnecessary.
The previous iteration of the Porsche Cayman GT4 is a fantastic vehicle, and it has no direct rivals, and today it was overshadowed by Cayman GT4 RS. And for what? To expand the RS family for the sake of losing RS badge exclusivity.
RS symbols have always been a part of Porsche 911. Even if Porsche wants to say goodbye to the long-lasted Porsche 718 family, I am unsure if this was the right thing to do.
Especially considering its price. There is no way that Porsche Cayman GT4 RS will cost 100 000 euros (116 000 dollars). RS badge and engineering efforts will allow Porsche to ask 140 000 or even 150 000 euros for it.
That leads to a rhetorical question. If I want to spend 150 000 euros on Porsche, why would I buy Cayman?

(En español: Acné)
Acne is the name for those red bumps called pimples that a lot of kids and teens get on their skin. When your skin's oil glands make too much oil, the tiny holes on your skin called pores get stopped up with oil, dead skin, and bacteria. Then the skin around these clogged pores can swell and look lumpy or red. Usually, this happens during puberty, when your body is changing from a kid into an adult.

David Edward Malan attended the Boys' High School, Wellington, and passed the matriculation examination of the University of the Cape of Good Hope in 1906. Continuing his studies at Victoria College, Stellenbosch, he was awarded the Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree with honours in zoology by the university in 1910. Studying under Professor E.J. Goddard* he completed the Master of Arts (MA) degree in 1912. Goddard and Malan published the following papers at this time, presumably based on the latter's research for the MA degree: 'The South African Hirudinea' [leeches] (Part 1: Annals of the South African Museum, 1912, Vol. 11(4), 13 pp.; Part 2: Transactions of the Royal Society of South Africa, 1913, Vol. 3, pp. 249-255) and 'Contributions to a knowledge of South African Oligochaeta' [earth worms] (Transactions of the Royal Society of South Africa, 1913, Vol. 3, pp.231-248). They also read a paper at the annual congress of the South African Association for the Advancement of Science in 1912 on 'Some Antarctic fresh water annulates', but only the title was published in the society's Report for that year.
Malan subsequently proceeded to Zurich, Switzerland, where he was awarded a doctoral degree for a thesis titled Ergebnisse anatomischer untersuchung an Standfuss'schen Lepidopteren Bastarden (Results of anatomical investigation of [regional] Lepidoptera hybrids; 1917). Upon his return to South Africa he was employed at the Transvaal University College, Pretoria (later the University of Pretoria). In 1919 he became a foundation member of the South African Biological Society. He was a member also of the Royal Society of South Africa. Some years later he and D.J. Malan published a paper on 'The spermatogenesis of Locustana pardalina (Walker) (The Brown Locust)' in the Transactions of the Royal Society of South Africa (1926, Vol. 13, pp. 1-23). In 1933 he was a member of the Pretoria Entomological Club.
