The Ecosystem and the Connection Between Capelin, Cod and Seals
Growing up, every year we would go out in my grandfather’s trap skiff to get a load of capelin for the gardens.
You did not have to search for capelin back then, they would land in the same beaches every year.
I returned to the fishery in 1977 and spent the winters sealing — there were good markets, good prices and you could sell seal meat for canning. You could cut open a mature harp seal and fill a five-gallon bucket with capelin — but not any more. The seal hunt continued until ...
More Input Needed Before Fishery Closures Implemented
I have recently been watching the federal government in Ottawa and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans from the comfort of my home.
“Robust, science-based, coherent measures to protect these highly endangered North Atlantic right whales. We’re really playing Russian roulette with the entire future of the Canadian fish and seafood industry,” Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc was quoted to say.
Very strong words. But wait a minute. Don’t we live in Canada? What about our ...
What is the Definition of an Inshore Fish Harvester?
I write this letter to inform your readers why it’s important to define an inshore fish harvester for purposes of a vote by the Labour Relations Board to ultimately decide which union should represent them.
Here are three, real-life examples:
Two men who hold commercial fishing licenses are on the provincial government’s “sunshine list” as having made more than $100,000 in base salary/overtime in 2016 (one alone made more than $130,000), should they also be eligible to vote?
Fact Checking Georges Bank Haddock
I noticed a letter from the FFAW in the June edition of The Navigator that used 5Z (Eastern Georges Bank) haddock as an example in an unrelated point.
The statement read “The last haddock assessment reported a spawning stock biomass (ssb) of 33,700 tonnes” and later that “they land nearly 15,000 tonnes.”
While stock assessments are publicly available online, I wanted to ensure Navigator readers are aware that the 2017 stock assessment showed the stock was extremely healthy with ...
The More Things Change, the More They Remain the Same
The announcement recently that the Grand Bank surf clam fishery is going to be downgraded because the federal Minister of Fisheries Dominic LeBlanc decided to take quota away from Newfoundland and Labrador and give to the Indigenous people of other provinces should not be a surprise.
Remember Gail Shea? They all do it. It makes for great politics and there is nothing we can do about it.
We found out approximately 27 years ago what Minister Gerry Byrne announced a few weeks ago.
GEAC Attempting to Discredit N.L. Inshore Sector
I feel compelled to respond to the letter submitted to the May issue of The Navigator by Kris Vascotto of the Groundfish Enterprise Allocation Council (GEAC).
Many of the issues raised by Vascotto require correction or at a minimum, clarification. In many cases, Vascotto cherry picked information and made an attempt to discredit the inshore sector of the fishing industry in this province.
The Newfoundland and Labrador Groundfish Industry Development Council (GIDC) is a recently-establi...
FFAW President Refutes Content of GEAC’s Northern Cod-Related Letter
I am writing in response to Kris Vascotto’s letter entitled, Northern Cod: Focusing on Facts and Science to Protect the Future, that appeared in the May issue of The Navigator.
The title chosen contains a fair amount of irony, as the letter itself relied on nothing more than falsehoods and finger pointing in an attempt to further the divisive messaging driven by the organization Mr. Vascotto represents, the Groundfish Enterprise Allocation Council (GEAC).
First, let’s be clear on who ...
Those Criticizing Arctic Clam Award are Ignoring History of the Fishery
I feel compelled to write to you to provide some clarification on a number of items related to the Arctic surf clam fishery that I feel are not being presented in recent news articles.
These show, in my opinion, that the Minister of Fisheries, Dominic LeBlanc, made an informed and correct decision and that some of the claims being made about the negative impacts of this decision are being overstated in an effort to undermine the minister’s decision.
What is not being reported is the ...
Northern Cod: Focusing on Facts and Science to Protect the Future
In March, word of a single-year 30 per cent decline in Northern cod attracted the attention of media, scientists and environmental groups from around the globe.
The world was clearly watching Canada’s management of this stock.
It was quite telling to see how various stakeholders responded.
From a scientific perspective, I was disappointed but not surprised with the dramatic decline. Since 2015, our organization, the Groundfish Enterprise Allocation Council (GEAC), has repeatedly ...
FISH-NL Issues Warning to DFO on Changes to Harvester Registration in Atlantic Canada
The following letter was addressed to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) — National Fisheries Policy Office in Ottawa.

Criminal law as I see it today is a real joke played on good taxpayers of this great State of Arizona. The public defense attorneys are using our legal system to the fullest and playing our poor victims as guilty instead of victims.
I have no faith in our courts' legal system as I did when I was in my teens and 20s. The courts and the law have failed big time in my book. Hey, Uncle Sam! You better wake up and get your head out of the sand, and see what is going on in our court system today.
Wake up America! Our laws are protecting the lawless!

RAYE returns with her stunning new single ‘Natalie Don’t’.
Fresh from the Top 10 success of her smash hit collaboration with DJ Regard ‘Secrets’, ‘Natalie Don’t’ is a desperate cry for help that sees RAYE begging another woman to please leave her man alone.
The song is the 22-year-old’s 21st century take on Dolly Parton’s classic hit ‘Jolene’, written by RAYE herself with John Hill and John Blanda.
Listen to ‘Natalie Don’t’ by RAYE on the Official Fantasy Premier League playlist on Spotify.
RAYE says, “I knew immediately when I wrote this song that it had to be a single. The track is about that feeling of panic you have when you know you’re losing someone.The song is beautifully hopeless because you know Natalie will do what she wants regardless.”
The song is taken from an upcoming seven track music project due to be released later this summer.
The sensational video for ‘Natalie Don’t’, directed by Fiona Jane Burgess, centres around RAYE‘s guide to getting over a relationship for the broken hearted.
The London-born star has recently dominated airwaves across the UK with two smash hit singles. ‘Secrets’ with DJ Regard reached Top 10 in the Official UK Singles Chart and has had over 45 million streams so far. ‘Tequila’ with Jax Jones and Martin Solveig has been certified Silver in the UK and has had over 56 million streams worldwide.

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Federal prosecutors say the suspect in a deadly Reno bank robbery has a lengthy criminal record with 62 arrests dating back to 1967 and five felony convictions.
U.S. Magistrate Valerie Cooke ordered that 66-year-old Van McDuffie be detained without bail after hearing about his criminal history during an initial court appearance Thursday.
Eighty-year-old bank customer Bob Sperry was fatally shot after he told the suspect to "get out of here" during the holdup Wednesday morning at a Bank of America branch in Reno.
The U.S. Attorney's Office didn't release specific information about McDuffie's arrests.

Before I Die is a global art project that invites people to reflect on their lives and share their personal aspirations in public space. This project was started by Candy Chang on an abandoned house in New Orleans after she lost someone she loved.
You can find more info about the project here.
In this example, I want to show this wall positioned on the beautiful island of Curaçao, located in the Caribbean. The wall was born in March 2013 and was travelling around the capital city Willemstad with its starting point next to Kranshi, the civil registry in Otrobanda. The idea is to share different views both from locals and tourist. The spontaneous writings on the wall in four different languages represent the hopes, dreams and fears of the multicultural community of Curaçao.
The ones who made this amazing wall were Reineke Keijzers-Bouma, Floor den Dulk, Berber van Beek, Renske Pin, Tupak Rosario, Kirk Claes, Arjan Keijzers, Lonserito Jakob, Sandra Silvani, Kooyman, Albert Heijn Zeelandia, Fun Miles, Monumentenzorg, JBC Construction, Blend Creative Imaging & Dutch Durables.

"the most usable and musically inspiring drum sample series around – by a considerable margin."Ryan Moore | Tape Op Magazine
Drumdrops has over 400 drum tracks for you to preview and purchase in multiple formats. Each drum track can be previewed below as a low quality MP3. You can then click on the 'More Info' button to find out how the track was recorded and what formats it is available to purchase in.
All of the drum tracks can be purchased as unmixed live drum multi-tracks. These feature full length takes with all the separate drum mics recorded as 24 bit 44.1 WAVs and come with the Pro Tools session file, an OMF file to import into other DAW and a beat tempo map for syncing up external drum machines. The multi-tracks are perfect for people who want to experiment with setting up their own drum mix and have total control over the sound.
A large selection of the drum tracks are available to purchase as drum stem packs which contain the main stereo mix and sections of the drums mixed down. These packs are better for those who don't want to spend time setting up the mix. We have done the hard work for you, mixing them in commercial studios on vintage gear.
Finally a smaller selection of the drum tracks can be purchased as drum loops. Each mixed drum track has been cut down to about seven 2-4 bar loops and provided in the different drum components - full mix, full kit, kick and snare. The drum loops have been provided as WAVs, Apple Loops and Rex2 files meaning they will import into any sampler or DAW.
|This is the fastest track on this Motown Drops release. Based around the song 'Leaving Here' by Eddie Holland. This groove is played on the ride cymbal, and has a no nonsense punk quality to it. Claps on beats 2 and 4 help to support the backbeat, whilst the occasional drum fill helps to add variation. Towards the end of the track the 8th note groove changes to a 1/4 note ride groove, which gives the track a calmer vibe.||motown soul||200||M S L P||Info|
|This track is based on Kim Weston's 'Take Me In Your Arms'. The groove is a funky up tempo shuffle, and features that classic Motown tambourine. This track swings from beginning till end, and starts with the main rhythm being played between the bass drum and a pedalled hi hat. The track then bursts into a full groove, with additions from a swung tambourine pattern, and claps on the backbeat. The drum groove progresses with a more complex shuffle pattern on the hi hats, before breaking back down to the intro section. The cycle repeats, and the drums elevate to the ride cymbal before the final drum fill and crash to end.||motown soul||180||M S L P||Info|
|7 Rooms Of Gloom' by The Four Tops inspired this track. This is an up tempo groove featuring two different sections, various drum fills and a tambourine track. The main groove is a solid 8th note hi hat pattern, supported by an 8th note tambourine part. The second section is a break down section, which drops down to the hi hat and kick drum.||motown soul||178||M S L P||Info|
|Motown were always ahead of the game, especially with this drum and bass style groove which was inspired by the song 'This Old Heart Of Mine' by Tammi Terell. A classic Motown sounding tambourine powers through the track with a relenting, metronomic 8th note pattern. The drum groove is solid and unashamedly repetitive in its nature, but some fast two beat drum fills sporadically pop up, adding dynamically intrigue.||motown soul||174||M S L P||Info|
|This track was a tip of the hat to the legend Marvin Gaye and his song 'Baby Don't do it'. This is a high tempo playful groove, that in the original song plays a kind of counter rhythm to Marvin Gaye's vocal. This groove bounces along at a fast tempo joined by a sparse syncopated conga pattern. Claps on beats 2 and 4 give the groove its foundation to be able to dance around.||motown soul||170||M S L P||Info|
|Shuffles are great, but the shuffle groove on 'Heatwave' by Martha Reeves And The Vandellas is truly iconic. The shuffle is played on the hi hats, but the greatness comes from the supporting snare pattern, played on a tight, crisp sounding snare. Drum fills add dynamics as the groove skips along with a tambourine and claps on the 2 and 4.||motown soul||168||M S L P||Info|
|This fast tempo groove was based around Kim Weston's song 'You Hit Where It Hurt'. The track starts with a long, dynamic tom build which crashes into a minimal 8th note drum groove. A few simple classic Motown style drum fills help to break up the groove and add interest. A tambourine is playing 1/4 notes throughout, providing a solid rhythmical foundation. The main grooves goes to the ride cymbal towards the end of the track, providing a nice change in timbre.||motown soul||152||M S L P||Info|
|Based around The Contours song 'Do You Love Me' is a high tempo classic early Rock & Roll style groove, which switches from hi hats to a ride cymbal pieced together with stops. This track is perfect if your looking for a solid repetitive groove, featuring short drum fills and claps to add interest and variation.||motown soul||150||M S L P||Info|
|The inspiration behind this solid yet funky groove, is the song 'Don't Let Me Down' by Kim Weston. This track features slight variations on the main groove, alongside some classic drum fills. The two variations are a 1/4 based hi hat pattern, and the second is an 8th note hi hat pattern which builds nicely from what was played with the 1/4 note hi hats.||motown soul||147||M S L P||Info|
|Based around the classic track 'River Deep, Mountain High' by The Four Tops and The Supremes. This track has a funky mid high tempo groove which is played on the hihats. This solid groove with added funky ghost notes powers through the track, with punchy fills and that all important tambourine for added texture.||motown soul||144||M S L P||Info|

Community invited to MSUB for A Night on the Wild Side
Slated for 6-9p.m., June 27 in Liberal Arts room #205. Event includes seven, 20-minute presentations by students and local experts
Lisa Kemmerer, firstname.lastname@example.org
University Relations, 657-2266
MSU BILLINGS NEWS SERVICES — Montana State University Billings is excited to present A Night on the Wild Side starting at 6 p.m., June 27 in Liberal Arts Building room #205.
The community is welcome to the free presentation series, featuring experts from all over the state.
They will explore animal communication, rescue and rehabilitation, a history of the Smithsonian at Yellowstone Park, the fishy underworld of streams and lakes, and little-known international work in bird rehabilitation on the west end of Billings.
MSU Billings Professor Dr. Lisa Kemmerer, who is organizing the event through the Philosophy department, said the evening will be a “wildlife extravaganza.”
“This evening will include a variety of topics that will appeal to many people,” Kemmerer said. “For instance, I don’t think many people realize that Billings is home to world-renowned animal rescue experts or that the state is grappling with a giant tortoise problem. They’re an invasive species.”
One of those local animal rehab experts is Dr. Sheila McKay, owner of the local non-profit DJH Bird Resources.
The organization specializes in waterfowl and species propagation. McKay will discuss bird rescue and rehabilitation in the Magic City.
“Road incidents are just one way they come to us,” she said. “If a bird gets hit, or separated while crossing the street.”
A Night on the Wild Side is funded by a grant from Humanities Montana.
A Night on the Wild Side speaker schedule:
6 p.m.: Introduction
6:05p.m. Sarah Bradley, MSU student, “Learning to Love and Protect Montana Wildlife.”
6:25p.m. CANCELLED (Dr. Sara Waller, MSU Philosophy Dept., “Communicating with Animals.”)
6:45 p.m.: Dr. L. A. Kemmerer, MSUB English, Philosophy and Modern Languages, “Eating Wildlife.”
7:05 p.m., Dr. Sheila McKay, WJH Bird Resources, Billings, “Bird Rescue and Rehabilitation in the Magic City.”
7:25 p.m., Dr. Diane Smith, Research Historian, USDA Forest Service, and Missoula Fire Sciences Lab, Missoula, “Yellowstone and the Smithsonian: Centers of Wildlife Conservation.”
7:45 p.m., Dave Pauli, Billings, “Wildlife Rescue.”
8:05 p.m., Dr. Theo Lipfert, MSU School of Film & Photography, documentary film, “Invasion of the Giant Tortoises.”

With over 15 million root canals being performed yearly in the United States, it’s safe to say that leading dentists like those at Simple Smiles in Johnson City, Tennessee, consider root canals a safe and reliable way to preserve natural teeth. With a root canal procedure, you can keep your tooth and maintain your oral health. Call the office or use online booking to schedule your appointment now.
A root canal is a specialized treatment for serious tooth infections. Although a filling easily corrects more minor tooth decay, it’s not the answer for an infection of the pulp — the nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue — inside your tooth.
Because your tooth pulp contains delicate and sensitive tissues, a pulp infection means serious pain and oftentimes removal is the only way to stop it.
First, the skilled Simple Smiles dental care team administers conscious sedation, if needed, along with a local tooth-numbing injection. You'll be awake for the root canal, but you won't feel any pain or anxiety.
During the root canal procedure, the dentist creates a tiny hole in your tooth. This provides access to the tooth’s pulp chamber. Then they remove the infected tissue, clean the root canals that branch from your pulp chamber, and disinfect the treatment area.
Finally, the tooth is filled with a sterile rubberlike material known as gutta-percha, and the tiny hole in the tooth is sealed. The gutta-percha essentially replaces your tooth pulp, which restores some of your tooth's original strength.
However, to return your tooth to full function, you need a crown. Porcelain crowns cover your whole tooth to give you a normal, natural-looking tooth with full chewing capability. Usually, you'll have two appointments to complete the root canal, with the first being the procedure and the second being a custom crown fitting.
Untreated tooth infections could spread to your other teeth and throughout your mouth. A root canal eliminates the infection to save not only one tooth, but potentially other teeth by removing the infection.
A root canal can also preserve your appearance. Beyond the obvious benefit of covering your own tooth with a beautiful custom crown, keeping your own tooth and root preserves your normal facial structure and helps prevent bone loss in your jawbone.
Root canals can also save you money in the long run. By addressing the problem now, you can most likely prevent a costly future treatment like an extraction or dental implant.

Bought for class, still had to buy physical copy
I bought this book for class and it was a nightmare. I could only find one of the pages we needed, despite them all being in the same chapter. The idea is cool, but it won't work for class. Waste of $30.
What an Advanced Book!
This is a revolutionary book. I’ve used this book several times for classes in physical form, but this new revised physical publication is AMAZING and worth the price! You will not be disappointed with this book!!
Roosevelt University- CCPA- Music Conservatory
I am very impressed with the variety of teaching aids and student practice exercises. I'll be able to guide my students better in class this Fall for those that purchase the iBook and keep everything coordinated with the book users.

The goal was $37 million, but federal records showed that that the host committee for the DNC fell $12.5 million short of that goal.
The DNC raised $24.1 million dollars short of their original goal of $36.6 million.
Duke Energy gave the host committee a major boost by donating $5.7 million dollars in cash and in-kind contributions.
Democrats promised that the convention in Charlotte would be the most open and accessible in history. However, they would have never discussed fundraising specifics leading up to the DNC and whether or not they had yet reached their $37 million goal without taking corporate donations.
Political expert Dr. Michael Bitzer said Republicans could pounce on Wednesday's announcement trying to spin the lack of fundraising as a lack of excitement for President Obama.
"It will raise some eyebrows. Republicans will certainly take advantage of it, but I'm not sure either will be that big of a hit," said Bitzer.
Eyewitness News tried to ask Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx what he expects. Foxx denied comment but promised a statement after the numbers came out.
With all the talk about presidential debates and fireworks on stage, Bitzer doubts this announcement will be a major factor in the election, especially since it is coming almost six weeks after the DNC ended.
Bitzer said corporate money could still end up boosting the Democrats' bottom line.
"They'll just keep raising money and probably quietly go back to corporations. Campaigns sometimes have debt that lasts for several years," said Bitzer.
Host committee officials are trying to argue the deficit is not that high because they lowered the budget.
They will not say when, but they told Eyewitness News that they lowered their budget to $31.3 million thus lowering their goal at that point.

A former Milwaukee police officer on trial for killing a man fleeing a traffic stop repeatedly commented how quickly the fatal encounter unfolded as his body camera captured the chaotic scene after the shooting.
Jurors saw the video Thursday — the first time the public has seen the events surrounding the shooting that sparked two nights of riots last year in a predominantly black neighborhood, the Chicago Tribune reports.
The bodycam video from Dominique Heaggan-Brown, 25, and another officer on the scene have been the focal point of the trial. Heaggan-Brown is facing 60 years in prison if he's convicted of first-degree reckless homicide for the death of 23-year-old Sylville Smith.
Heaggan-Brown's camera shows Heaggan-Brown briefly pointing the gun at Smith as he begins running after him. He puts his gun back in his holster as Smith, who is holding a gun, turns into a path between two houses.
Smith slips and falls near a fence, dropping his gun. He begins reaching for it as he stands up, his left hand holding the fence.
When the video is slowed frame by frame, Smith is seen holding the gun by the barrel to throw it over the fence. Prosecutors argue that shows Smith no longer posed a threat.
The two shots by Heaggan-Brown came in quick succession — within two seconds of each other — striking Smith once in his right arm and then in the chest.

I can’t believe my baby girl is 9! I also can’t believe how I keep falling more and more in love with her every day. She is such a great kid. Fearless. Creative. Compassionate. Artistic. Imaginative. Book loving. Easy going. Kind.
We had a great day celebrating yesterday. Pancakes and bacon for breakfast. A new sewing machine for the aspiring fashion designer. Ice skating. Swimming. Ice cream. Movie night. Falling asleep in the living room.
I’m not even thinking about the fact that she is half way to 18.
Happy birthday Miss A. I love you!


Watch: 'Fantastic Four' Teaser Trailer Mashed Up with 'Interstellar'
by Ethan Anderton
January 31, 2015
Last week, we were surprised by the arrival of the teaser trailer for Fantastic Four, the comic book franchise reboot from Chronicle director Josh Trank. Many people pointed out the similarities in the style and tone of the teaser trailer with that of Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. And since this is the internet, someone decided to take some of the voiceover from Matthew McConaughey from the trailers for Interstellar, and use them over footage from Fantastic Four. It's actually a pretty damn great edit that works better than the real teaser trailer for the comic book movie and makes it feel much more powerful. Watch!
You can still watch the real teaser trailer for Fantastic Four right here.
Fantastic Four is directed by Josh Trank (Chronicle) and written by Simon Kinberg (X-Men: Days of Future Past). The contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy. Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell star in the film which 20th Century Fox releases on August 7th. Well?
Damn good. But all the FF teaser needed was to take that voice over out and let the music and images do their thing.

When I first watched the trailer, before these articles came out about the similarities in tone, I noticed a shot that reminded me of Interstellar as well.

UNAIDS, UNICEF, International NGOs Devise New Plan To Assist AIDS Orphans in Sub-Saharan AfricaUNAIDS and UNICEF, along with international nongovernmental organizations and donor groups, during a two-day meeting in Geneva have agreed to a new strategy to assist AIDS orphans in sub-Saharan Africa, Agence France-Press reports (Agence France-Presse, 10/21). According to a report released in September by UNAIDS and the U.N. Secretary General, 39% of countries with generalized AIDS epidemics have no national policy for providing support to AIDS orphans or children affected by the epidemic. The U.N. estimates that the number of AIDS orphans worldwide is expected to increase from 14 million to 25 million by 2010 (Kaiser Daily HIV/AIDS Report, 9/22). About 80% of those cases will be in sub-Saharan Africa, Agence France-Presse reports (Agence France-Presse, 10/21). Meeting participants agreed to a "strategic framework" that will focus on providing "direct support to families and communities" affected by HIV/AIDS in the region. According to UNAIDS, bolstering community-based care for orphans and efforts to keep them in school could cost about $1 billion, according to a UNAIDS/UNICEF release (UNAIDS/UNICEF release, 10/21).
Focus on Grassroots
UNICEF spokesperson Damien Personnaz said that current government structures in sub-Saharan African countries are "too heavy to be very efficient at the grassroots level," adding that at the "same time you have a lot of local communities who actually are much more active and much more close to the reality of the field of these places. So, we need to go directly to them rather than to spend a lot of time and sometimes to waste a lot of time through official government channels." Still, Personnaz said that the strategic framework agreed upon does not call for the groups to "bypass official government channels" but instead forge alliances with central governments that will "allow them to go directly to the local providers of assistance," according to VOA News (Schlein, VOA News, 10/21).
UNICEF Executive Director Carol Bellamy said, "The crisis of orphans and other children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS is massive, growing and long-term. But two-thirds of countries hard-hit by the disease do not have strategies to ensure the children affected grow up with even the bare minimum of protection and care." UNAIDS Executive Director Peter Piot said, "The challenge now is for countries to prioritize the implementation of strategies that keep parents alive, protect children from violence and exploitation, ensure good health and keep them in school" (UNAIDS/UNICEF release, 10/21).


When moving a part in assembly, I choose the rotate option then select the part. For some reason another XYZ coordinates system appears on the part. When I start rotating the part about a selected axis, it now rotates around two different axis points, causing the whole assembly to rotate, not just the selected part. Is there a way of preventing this additional XYZ appearing? Is this a known issue?

Gasoline prices are galloping higher, with the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded fuel topping $2.57 in the Seattle-Bellevue-Everett area on Tuesday, according to AAA.
That’s a new inflation-unadjusted record. Around Snohomish County, some stations are charging more than $2.69 a gallon.
The cost of diesel also was at a record level of nearly $2.76 a gallon Tuesday, according to AAA. In recent weeks, the averages have risen about a penny a day, according to AAA’s daily price tracking service.
That’s not unusual this time of year, said Fred Rozell, retail gasoline expert at the Oil Price Information Service.
“Traditionally, we’ve seen prices go up through the end of August,” Rozell said, explaining that the last few weeks of the vacation season help drive up demand.
Even though fuel prices were rising at this time last year, the regional average was just $1.96.
This year, stronger worldwide demand for crude oil and its main derivative, gasoline, has combined with Middle East upheaval and problems at some U.S. refineries to drive up prices.
On Tuesday, the price of crude oil reached an unprecedented $64 a barrel but closed the day’s trading at $63.07.
Despite all that, Rozell said he expects gasoline prices to fall as usual after Labor Day weekend.
But even if gasoline gets cheaper, the federal Energy Information Administration and other forecasters are warning that heating oil and natural gas could be noticeably more expensive this fall and winter.

Yesterday, (edit: so I wrote this one several days ago) my four-day Kruger epic came to an end. As I drove out of Orpen Gate right at closing time, I reflected on just how joyous the trip had been. Downright joyous. But Kruger wasn’t done with me yet. The road that leads away from Orpen borders Timbavati Game Reserve. With the fading light, came one last leopard sighting. And while I didn’t actually spot the leopard (I never do), I did see a game drive vehicle in the sighting from Ngala Lodge in Timbavati. That hit home. If a crow was to fly (why do we say that??)… Nevermind, if a White Headed Vulture was to fly from that point, the vulture would be home in a very short time indeed. Especially because cultures fly really, really fast. But I’m not a vulture and a quick check of Google Maps told me that to get home from Orpen Gate would take 2 hours and more than 100 kilometers. No way!
And that changed everything.
I wasn’t ready to let it all go just yet.
Me: What if I stayed out, just one more day?
Brain: You can’t. School holidays. Remember? There’s nowhere to stay. And you can’t justify staying somewhere that’s so close to home. So close to your bed that you don’t have to pay for.
Me: Hmmm… Where to stay?
Brain: Go home!
Me: I wonder if there’s space at that nice little backpackers by Blyde River Canyon?
Brain: There isn’t! It’s school holidays.
Me: Let’s just try…
I headed out from Orpen Gate to Mariepskop View Lodge, a place I’ve stayed before and really loved.
This is what it looks like the morning after a glorious sleep that contrasted in every way to the terrible place I’d stayed at the three nights previously.
Yeah, it’s like really really pretty…
This is a place I wholeheartedly recommend. The ‘backpackers’ accomodation is actually a handful of beautiful little cottages – basic, but beautiful – that cost backpacker prices. You can also camp or stay in one of the more fancy cottages. It’s clean and charming and beautiful nestled up next to Mariepskop Mountain. Love it…
So I’d like to write a little about what to do with those ‘free days’ you get on holiday and in between safaris, in the ultimate place to spend ‘free days’ – Blyde River Canyon. Just beyond Kruger’s boundary. Just beyond the wall. I’m reading a lot of Game of Thrones again.
Getting there is easy enough. Exit Kruger from Orpen Gate and boom. You’re there. Pretty much.
Safaris are wonderful and wild and yummy but it’s also nice to see what else is out there. And that’s how I ended up spending the day as a tourist in my own little backyard.
That morning, started by looking at the travel advice literally plastered to the back of my door at the backpackers lodge for inspiration.
‘Have breakfast next door at Anne’s Cafe and then go to **** ***** ****** ****** before spending the afternoon at Blyde River Canyon.’
**** ***** **** ***** isn’t the actual name of this particular tourist destination place thingy. But a few years ago I had the misfortune of working in said unsaid place and I won’t even repeat the name here. Let’s rather not get into trouble too. But If I can’t bear to even type the name of the place, you can bet I wasn’t prepared to spend my morning there (and you shouldn’t too), so I skipped that one, and everything to do with it…
And headed to Anne’s Cotton Club Cafe for breakfast. What I didn’t expect was for it to be nestled in amongst a crazy awesome collection of boutique craft shops and spas and motorcycle showrooms. It was very random. In the best possible way. The place is called ’24 South.’ Go there! It’s super cute. And it was super empty that morning which was depressing. A place like this deserves to be PACKED!
When it came to Anne’s Cafe (which has got amazing reviews for its food), I was impressed by my delicious breakfast and probably ate the best chicken mayo sandwich I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot of chicken mayo sandwiches. The place was let down by very sad service and a women who kept barking orders at two upset looking waitresses. Why do that in front of customers? Actually why do that at all? Kindness. The way forward. And unfortunately it kind of put a little raincloud over the experience. I don’t know if I’d go back now which is sad because the food – wow – so good.
But 24 South as a whole was lovely. And it’s totally in the middle of nowhere, which is the biggest surprise. If you’re looking for crafts and goodies, the offerings at this hidden market are actually better than those in Hoedspruit, the nearest town.
From 24 South I headed to the area’s biggest draw – the Blyde River Canyon. I figured I needed to see it once in my life, at least. And I see those mountains every day – why not touch them?
I paid the modest R20 entry fee (I expected much, much more – like how much does it cost to visit the Grand Canyon? Probably not a dollar and fifty cents…), and carried on up to the derelict visitor center. It was only here as I took photos, that I realized I’ve been here before! When, how and with who, I don’t know. But I’d definitely stood in that place before. My memory (the crazy lack of it) scares me.
It doesn’t actually matter though because you can go here 300 times and it’ll never get old. Looky!
From the dam, I went back down to a place marked ‘waterfall trail.’ Sounds good…
And yep, I had a great time on this trail. The forest vegetation is WILD! Totally unlike anything nearby. And when I reached the waterfall, I was overwhelmed by the urge to just strip off and dive in. This is despite it being winter and freezing. I just wanted to be there. So much so that I stood in the water up to my knees debating with myself for about forty five minutes whether I should get naked or not. If I do, surely someone will come down the path right away? If I don’t, surely I will regret it forever. And I super-want to swim. But people will come. But I’ll regret not doing it. But I could have done it by now and been dressed and halfway back to the car. But…
Yeah, that’s how my brain works.
On the way back to the car, I went into ‘birding mode.’ Never easy in any forest, where you really have to hear the birds because you’re so unlikely to see them up in such a dense canopy.
My luck wasn’t great. Actually, I saw nothing. I heard something that sounded like a woodpecker who’d inhaled some helium, but I was stumped.
Towards the end of the trail, a branch rustled above me and I looked up. Straight into the backside of a Narina Trogon! Wait, that’s not enough exclamation marks. A Narina Trogon!!!!!!!!! Better.
Over the years I’ve seen these rare birds just four times and all in Kwa Zulu Natal, never here in the Lowveld. And for that to be the only bird I saw during my entire Blyde River Canyon trip? Not bad y’all. It’s the pangolin of the bird world. And pangolins are the platypuses of Africa and platypuses are straight up awesome. So are Narina Trogons.
See the red blotch? Trogon bum.
High on the vibe you can only get from special birds, I decided that next, I was going to visit Jessica the Hippo.
Jessica. The hippo.
I didnt know much about Jessica. Still don’t. I do know that over the years, my work as a safari guide has brought me countless guests who rave about Jessica the Hippo. I googled Jessica and found out I could visit her at 2:30. Sweet. That left me some time to kill. At the giant Baobab!
I have a guidebook that tells me there’s a baobab tree just south of Hoedspruit, so big that there’s a pub – INSIDE THE BAOBAB! I needed to drink an ice cold savanna. IN A BAOBAB.
“Anna, so where’d you have lunch today?”
“Oh you know, just inside a tree.”
Epic. It had to be done.
GPS took me to a big, open field with an average sized baobab standing in the middle. Even an average sized baobab is mind blowingly awesome, but this one clearly didn’t have a pub inside it. The mangled remains of a baobab on the other side of the field probably had a pub in it. About 15 years ago. Seriously, guide book?
What I did find was a family friendly restaurant next to the sad tree ruins with nothing but pancakes on the menu which is totally my kind of restaurant.
I ordered a cinnamon sugar pancake and asked for a spare lemon wedge instead of syrup – seriously, syrup on a sugar pancake is too much, even for me. I tried to order wine, even pointing to it in the menu for the waitress to see, but she acted like she’d never heard of the stuff, so I did a Savanna instead.
I ended up with two whole lemons squashed up at the bottom of my Savanna glass and a pancake with syrup, and no lemon. Thanks to this happy accident, I’ll never be able to drink Savanna again without at least one whole lemon shredded up inside it. And syrup on sugar pancakes is actually awesome. Why not throw some ice cream and sprinkles on it too? Winning.
When I saw the above wifi note in my favorite cafe in Hluhluwe, I thought it was cute and original. This illusion is now shattered. Like this baobab:
This one is still okay, but it’ll be about 800 more years until it’s big enough to host a pub:
Then finally, on to Jessica the Hippo. A sign at the start of the dusty, corrugated track she lives down told me that it would be a very ‘worthwhile 8 kilometers.’
At the end of the road, I passed through a gate and joined about 40 other people – couples, families, tiny children, tour guides with guests – all milling around a small enclosure with a small hippo in it. The only staff member seemed to be a confused gardener who tried to explain in broken Afrikaans that the ‘boss is missing’ and he knows he had a ‘hippo show’ to do at 2:30.
Some people left. Some hung around. Some just walked straight down the path the to water like they owned the place. They were determined to see Jessica. I sort of tagged along with them. I caught a brief glimpse of Jessica in the water and… that was it really. I wandered back up the stairs, told the mystery tiny hippo to break out of its enclosure – which could be easily done – and then I left.
I might have been inclined to return one day to see Jessica if it wasn’t for the mystery tiny hippo in the swimming pool. What is this hippo? There was no information anywhere and no one to explain anything. I didn’t know much about Jessica before going but had been assured she ‘lived wild’ and chose to stay in that place, otherwise I wouldn’t have gone. But tiny hippo? Nope, sorry. There’s actually no excuse for that. Break free little hippo!
The experience had been weird and confusing. Have any of you done the ‘Jessica thing’ before? If so, I’d really like to know what the deal is.
And with that, the day was done. A day of the wonderful and the wild and the slightly confusing. It did prove that it’s not impossible to spend a whole day doing cheap or free activities as an aside to your Kruger Park safari.
Here’s how the day ended… back in Kruger Park.
Mariepskop View Lodge can be found at http://www.mariepskopview.co.za. Their lovely rondavels cost R800 for the night, with backpackers costing R200 and camping just R100.
**** **** **** **** costs R145 to enter, which is how much it would cost to go to Blyde River Canyon for 7 days straight at R20 a day. Way better value at the Canyon…
24 Degrees South is free to enter, which we love.
Anne’s Cotton Club Cafe isn’t cheap, but the food is delicious. Or you could consider doing lunch at the Upside Down Restaurant at the broken baobab. Great value and cute venue.
Jessica the Hippo is supposed to cost R50, but I wouldn’t know because there was no one there to pay.
Stuff I didn’t do, but really really wanted to do:
There’s also Kinyonga Reptile Center in the area but I missed out on it because it was too pricy at about R100, and this day was all about the super cheap things to do in the area.
I did try to get on a boat trip across the dam at Blyde River Canyon. Unfortunately on the day, it was fully booked, but I’ll definitely be trying this one out! It was only R150.
That’s all, y’all. Thoughts? Have you been to these places? Anything to add?

The goal poacher urges his bosses to ensure players who would be signed are of a higher quality than the ones already at the club
Striker Meddie Kagere has shared his opinion on how he would like to see Simba SC to go about their transfer business.
Simba’s leading scorer this season has stated any player who will be signed by the club must be of better quality than the ones already contracted.
To Kagere, the signing of highly talented players will help Simba improve their game thereby making it even more interesting for their loyal fans.
“All the players we have are good, to say the least, and that is the reason we are doing well in the league,” Kagere, who is in Rwanda after the Vodacom Premier League (VPL) was suspended, told Mwanaspoti.
“It is now upon the management to be wise enough and recruit players who are going to be better than the current ones.
“It is good for one position to enjoy two competent players that just in case of anything there would not be any trouble filling those positions.
“If we are going to sign a defender, definitely he must be better than those who are in the team currently.
“If we succeed in getting better players it will actually increase competition in the team. In the end, it will help raise the level of our game.”
VPL, among other football competitions, was halted as a measure to help fight the coronavirus pandemic.
The former Gor Mahia striker added the need to have very talented players will be of great help in Simba’s ambition of winning every trophy.

“Our main target as players is to win different titles and it will not be prudent to bring onboard players who do not or are unable to help us achieve those targets,” concluded the Rwandan international.
“That is my feeling and with the best squad and the fans will be thrilled with how we perform.”
Kagere is leading in the VPL Golden Boot race as he has scored 19 goals so far, eight more than close rivals Reliants Lusajo and Yusuf Mhilu.

Following up on our recent analysis showing that the Sixth Circuit usually takes slightly longer to reverse than affirm, this post examines whether cases with no oral arguments are more likely to be affirmed. We expected that decisions made without oral argument would be affirmed more often because courts presumably grant oral arguments when judges have substantive questions after reading the briefs that might control the disposition of the case (particularly in the Sixth Circuit, which has recently been restricting oral arguments over the past few years). It is long accepted that oral arguments provide attorneys the opportunity to answer judges’ concerns, clarify their arguments, and provide reasons for the panel to decide in their favor.
We reviewed 203 cases from the first quarter of this year and found that no less than 23% of the civil cases without oral argument were reversed, which was significantly higher than roughly 13% of civil cases that were reversed during 2014. The difference was much smaller on the criminal side, where 6.5% of criminal cases without oral argument were reversed which was only slightly higher than the general average of 5.8% for 2014. Surprisingly, these numbers suggest that an appeal is more likely to be reversed where the court does not grant oral argument. Perhaps there are more cases where a reversible error is clearly apparent on the record than cases where oral argument is helpful to resolve tricky cases of law or fact. Admittedly, the sample size is relatively small, and this could be an aberrational quarter, but this is a statistic that will require further analysis. And, again, it highlights the critical importance that the brief plays in the overall effectiveness of appellate advocacy.
Either way, this data shows that civil clients on the appellant side should not necessarily take a grant of oral argument as a sign of an impending reversal. If the easy reversals have already been taken care of before oral argument, as suggested by this data, it may be a sign obtaining a reversal will be doubly difficult. We will follow up on this issue with the benefit of additional data in future posts.


Last night at the Veterans Conference Center, SHSU vice president of finance and operations Al Hooten, the HEARTS Museum’s Charlotte Oleinik and Broaddus Planning representatives discussed the university’s plan to move two of their criminal justice programs to a 78-acre site near the HEARTS Veterans Museum complex. The new planned home for the university’s Law Enforcement Management Insitute and Criminal Management Institute programs is bordered by I-45, Highway 75, the HEARTS Museum and a local neighborhood.
SHSU’s Al Hooten explained the fortunate and cost-saving way in which the university acquired the land for the new site . . . .
The bill to accomplish this was sponsored by State Senator Charles Schwertner. Six of the acres are being made available to the HEARTS museum through a land lease.
Broaddus Planning project manager Andrew Broderick passed along the “near-term priorities for new buildings that will be occurring on the site” . . . .
Questions from the audience included ones about the land and facilities effect on the Forest Hills subdivision which borders the land. A 100-foot green belt easement is planned along the border with the neighborhood. The new facilities will hook up to exisiting water and sewer lines, and traffic issues are also being considered. Buildings will be located in the center of the site inside a landscaped area.
The HEARTS Museum’s Charlotte Oleinik said she considered the project a “win-win” situation.
Another planning session will be open to the public on April 17th.
SHSU’s Al Hooten said it will probably be two years before anyone sees “dirt flying at the building site.”

One of the main tasks of the Smart Materials project was completed last year. Greenhouse simulation models were used to explore the potential effect of smart covering materials with switchable optical filters on microclimate, use of resources and crop performance.
Until recently, the only way to modify the amount and quality of light reaching the crop in a greenhouse was to use temporary coatings or screens. Three main groups of filters were identified and simulated: filters reflecting both PAR and NIR radiation, filters selectively reflecting only the NIR part, and filters reflecting the FIR spectrum.
Different climate regions and types of coverings were analysed to factor in a range of scenarios. The results highlight a significant potential improvement in microclimate and yield associated with the use of switchable optical filters for all the analysed climates, even if the optical properties are less than ideal.
For some of the simulated filters there are other alternatives available which perform equally well (thermal/energy saving screens). Further research is needed to analyse the technical and economic feasibility of these theoretical filters.
