Bonhams’ Amelia Island Auction Highlights Brass Era, Pre-War Cars
Bonhams’ annual car sale, the Amelia Island Auction, brings a focused selection of luxury automobilia and motorcars. On May 20th, 2021, the auction house will offer over 100 automobiles ranging from historic to contemporary production eras. Bidding will start at 11:00 AM EDT. Before the sale starts, Auction Daily takes a closer look at the key lots from various automotive eras.
The Brass Era started the automotive age and lasted from 1895 to 1915. The frequent use of brass in vehicles during this time gave the era its name. Headlights, lamps, horns, radiator caps, exhaust organs, and other parts were all made of brass. The earliest automobiles looked very similar to carriages missing their horses, earning the name ‘horseless carriages.’
The Amelia Island Auction will feature several cars from the Brass Era. A 1909 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost is among the leading lots (estimate: USD 1,300,000 – $1,500,000). According to Bonhams, the model has been dubbed the best car in the world and the epitome of both Edwardian coachwork and engineering excellence.
Rolls-Royce introduced the Silver Ghost, called initially ’40/50,’ in December 1906 at the Olympia Show. Production began in 1907, making it the first widely produced automobile by Rolls-Royce. The car line was hand-fabricated until 1926.
A 1913 Mercer Type 35K Runabout (estimate: $1,000,000 – $1,500,000), which the auction house calls ‘an early American supercar,’ comes from an Indiana collection. Created by Finley Robertson Porter, the Runabout features a T-head four-cylinder engine. Compared to other sports cars of the heavy and vast era, the Runabout was smaller and low-slung. Mercer produced the car from 1913 through 1914.
The Vintage Era is the period following World War I, from 1919 to 1930. With the boost in the economy after the end of the war, this period saw many significant changes in the automobile industry, including the addition of the front engine and closed body. According to the Library of Congress, by 1925, there was one automobile for every six persons in the United States.
Leading the auction is a Mercedes-Benz 630 K ‘La Baule’ Torpedo Transformable from 1928. With its Jacques Saoutchik transformable coachwork, the car has an estimate of $1,110,000 to $1,250,000.
Saoutchik, a trained carpenter, added a convertible top to the ‘La Baule’ body style in 1928. The style included the completely disappearing top mechanism and the exquisite use of brightwork. The available car features a six-cylinder engine with a single overhead camshaft. According to the auction house, the 630 K was the fastest production touring car in the world manufactured during this period, with a top speed above 90 mph.
A 1927 manufactured Rolls-Royce Phantom I Transformal Phaeton is also among the notable Vintage Era cars in this sale (estimate: $450,000 – $550,000). Built in Springfield, Hibbard & Darrin manufactured the chassis. Bonhams reports that only 35 Springfield Phantom I cars featured Hibbard & Darrin bodies, and very few among them survived.
The Pre-War Era began in 1930 with the Great Depression, continuing until 1942. During this period, car manufacturers began to incorporate integrated fenders; fully-closed bodies dominated the market.
The auction highlight from this era is a Godsal Sports Tourer from 1935. Built by Charles Godsal, the car carries an estimate of $750,000 to $950,000. A Ford V8 engine powers the one-off Sports Tourer. Godsal built the car in London with Corsica bodywork and a Bentley rear axle. Even though the Sports Tourer featured a fully functional prototype intended for production, it was never manufactured due to a lack of finance. The present example remains a single one-off prototype.
A Bugatti Type 57 Cabriolet is another key Pre-War Era car on offer. Introduced in 1934, the model marked the debut of Jean Bugatti (estimate: $800,000 – $1,000,000).
After World War II in 1946, the US government green-lighted commercial production of automobiles. This marked the beginning of the Post-War Era, which continued until 1960. Cars from this era borrowed some design trends of warplanes, like vast expanses of chrome and large tail fins. During this era, cars with high-compression V8 engines became popular.
A 1953 RGS Atalanta (Jaguar C-Type) race car will be available in Bonhams’ upcoming sale (estimate: $300,000 – $500,000). Unlike other Atalantas with fiberglass bodies, the available car features an aluminum body built by John Griffiths. Other notable Post-War Era cars include a pair of Aston Martin DB4 Series 1 Saloon in brown and red colors and a Delahaye 135M convertible with a Henri Chapron body.
The Classic Era lasted from 1960 to 1972. In a bid to match foreign trends, American automakers started producing compact vehicles. Typically, a classic automobile featured custom coachwork, automatic lubrication systems, and a power clutch and brake.
Bonhams brings to auction several Classic Era cars, including a Maserati Ghibli 4.7 Coupe from 1967 (estimate: $250,000 – $325,000). Produced in a limited edition of 1,170, the Ghibli 4.7 Coupe has a 4.7L V8 engine with over 300 horsepower. Styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the car features a blue exterior and brown leather interior.
Other Classic Era automobiles come from Jaguar, Plymouth and Dodge, and Porsche.
Bonhams’ upcoming Amelia Island Auction features several Modern Era cars. Ford introduced the first-generation GTs in 2005 in a limited edition of around 4,000 units. The Heritage Edition Ford GTs capped at 343 were hand-built to commemorate the Le Mans victory. The car featured the brand’s signature stripes and roundels. A 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition with roughly 10,000 miles will be available with Bonhams this May (estimate: $375,000 – $425,000).
Another Modern Era car is from Bentley. Walter Owen Bentley founded Bentley Motors in 1919. Since then, the brand has been synonymous with luxury and performance. Bonhams will offer a white Bentley Azure convertible, manufactured in 2001, in the upcoming sale (estimate: $45,000 – $65,000).
Bonhams’ Amelia Island Auction will begin on May 20th, 2021 at 11:00 AM EDT. Visit Bonhams to view the full listings.

I worked with many district attorneys throughout the state during my 30-plus year law enforcement career. Ron is an aggressive prosecutor with the best interest of the victim at heart. Ron’s knowledge and application of criminal law is the best I’ve experienced. He has proven himself a competent and efficient administrator and trial attorney. Ron is a forward thinking and innovative problem solver. I highly recommend Ron Moore for re-election as district attorney for Buncombe County.

A tale about misguided obsession.
The fog reflects and masks my soul;
The poor victim will never know.
I’ve been watching her movements
This entire time.
Thin legs, curves lead to supple breasts;
She thinks she’s different from the rest.
Ah youth, how misguided
Sweet meat on easy prey.
“Hey cutie, hop into my car!
Where are we going? It’s not far;
You’ll never have a better time this life.”
You’re first will be your last,
So relax, don’t finish up too fast:
Take your time, and shed another tear.
No masks, no fault, no fear to show
I want every one to know
I’m the reason that came with none at all
They cry, just like she cried
Scream in my face the way she died
And I stare blankly, do they think it means a thing?
My own demise is drawing near,
I smile, it’s not long now my dear
Your killer comes to follow on your trail
Will it be heaven or in hell?
We’ll be united just as well;
No one on this earth is innocent these days
It fills me with a joy
To know I’ll use you like a toy
Your paradise will whither as it’s mine
So inject me with the numb
“You can’t escape love, here I come”
And thank justice that they’re giving you to me.

Mike Campbell's goal in the second minute of overtime gave Ohio Wesleyan a 2-1 win over Greensboro and the school's first soccer championship. Campbell took a pass from midfielder Jason Chadima and danced along the top of the box before drilling a right-footed shot into the upper right corner of the goal. "My first thought when Mike hit that was 'Oh, no!', because Campbell is left-footed and he hit it with his right foot," said Ohio Wesleyan coach Jay Martin. "It was one of those where you say 'No, Mike, no -- great shot!'" The Battling Bishop defense was superb in the extra session, allowing Greensboro just two shots overall and none on goal. Ohio Wesleyan took the early lead in the 12th minute. Chadima corralled a loose ball after the Greensboro defense broke up a corner kick and crossed for Jon Van Horn, whose header found the left side of the net. Greensboro equalized with nine minutes to play when Carlton Mack beat the Bishop defense to a long punt by keeper Steve Larsen and tipped the ball into the goal. Ohio Wesleyan downed Williams 1-0 in the semifinals on Martin Forman's rebound goal in the tenth minute. Greensboro edged Rowan by the same score, with the winning tally coming on Ryan Nelsen's header off of a long free kick by Richard Ronemus early in the second half. SEMIFINALS Nov. 28 in Delaware, Ohio Ohio Wesleyan 1 Williams 0. Goal: Forman (Van Horn) 9:38. Greensboro 1 Rowan 0. Goal: Nelsen (Ronemus) 47:20. CHAMPIONSHIP Nov. 29 in Delaware, Ohio Ohio Wesleyan 2 Greensboro 1 (2OT). Goals: Van Horn (Chadima) 12:45, Campbell (Chadima) 91:07; Mack (Larsen) 81:09.

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (AP) – A new Missouri law limits the amount and type of analgesics that dentists can prescribe after studies have shown that painkillers prescribed after routine dental work become one nationwide epidemic of opioid addiction contribute.
Gov. Mike Parson signed the bill this month, saying that dentists should not prescribe opioids more than the equivalent of 10 regular pills per day and no sustained-release opioids like OxyContin.
Dan Kessler, president of Missouri Dental Association, said the trade group worked with lawmakers on the language in the bill.
"I think we're all for restrictions and not on prescribing or not even things like hydrocodone," Kessler told The Kansas City Star. Hydrocodone is a component of analgesics like Vicodin.
Dentists who do not meet the requirements of the new law must document the reason for this in the patient's medical record. The documentation exception is for patients who have established opioid tolerance and need more effective pain relief.
If dentists do not record any prescriptions beyond the limits of the new law, the State Dental Association could investigate and possibly license them, Kessler said.
"I hate to say it's on the honor system, but it's kind of," Kessler said. "But if you're a repeat offender and things happen, the way people annoy you, then you're exposed." A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine in December showed that dentists' opiate prescriptions play a significant role in the addiction of adolescents and young adults. More likely than peers, opioid abuse is diagnosed within one year. Adolescents and young adults are more susceptible to addiction problems as their brains are still evolving, and dentists are the most prevalent opioid prescribers to adolescents because most people's wisdom teeth are removed.
Exposure of this group susceptible to abuse, "said John Dane, the dental director of the Department of Health of Missouri.

Shortly after covid began making waves throughout the world and subsequently the fashion system, many have talked about what the impact means for business and called into question the existing fashion model and its place in modern society. One of the most visible effects was this summer’s Paris fashion week, as in lieu of cancelling…
Several days ago we learned of the passing of the milliner and hairdresser Katsuyo Kamo. He was one of the most creative and sought after collaborators, working with Undercover, Junya Watanabe, Anrealage in Japan, and Europeans like Haider Ackermann, Chanel, and Fendi. His incredibly headpieces were especially indispensable to the image-making at Undercover, whose designer Jun Takahashi counted Kamo as a friend.
It was just announced that Takahiro Miyashita will stage his first Paris catwalk show during the upcoming men’s season. It is his first show in Paris for his new label TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist. The show will take place on January 15th.
Good news for all you Undercover fans! We have been able to finagle some very rare Undercover books.
Last week Anrealage held a retrospective show in Tokyo, spanning 15 years of Kunihiko Morinaga’s designs.
Fashion is supposed to be fast, but it can be surprisingly late to many things, like e-commerce.
Kei Shigenaga decided to become a jewelry maker because he saw it as an intersection of fashion and sculpture, two things he’s been interested in for a long time. “I feel that jewelry is not simply something fashionable, but it can be an art object you can have with you every day,” says the Japanese silversmith, who makes everything by hand in his Tokyo studio. He often goes back to traditional Japanese culture for inspiration, trying to make it modern in his own way. Lately he’s been interested in “kintsugi,” a traditional form of art where broken ceramics are mended back together using lacquer covered with gold dust, only Shigenaga uses melted gold instead. In a way, the combination of destruction and creation is the crux of his work.” In my work I try to concentrate on the roughness of precious metals,” says he. He is interested in tension between the image of fine jewelry as something delicate, yet tough.
Undercover / TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist. will be live streaming their Fall/Winter 2018 shows at Pitti Uomo on Thursday, January 11 at 7:30pm CET (1:30pm EST).
Undercover by Jun Takahashi and TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist will be the next Guest Designers at the Pitti Uomo fair in Florence in January 2018. To celebrate their friendship and mutual respect for their work the two designers will stage back-to-back shows on November 18th in a yet-undisclosed location. For more, please read my breaking news article on Business of Fashion.
Like most brands, Visvim, the cult Japanese label created and designed by Hiroki Nakamura, has its Parisian showroom in the Marais.

The study uncovered three critical factors. A resilient child was ‘lucky’ enough to had a strong bond with a supportive caregiver, teacher, or other mentor figures. Most importantly, the kids that succeeded behave autonomously and independently — they met the world on their own terms. Lastly, they had self-control — they believed that they, not the environment, would define their fate.
…ate, we are basically handing over the reigns of control to other people and outside circumstances… While fate is what happens when you don’t take responsibility for your life, destiny is what happens when you commit to growing, learning, and taking chances… Fulfilling our destiny involves consciously developing a connection to our deepest inner selves and maturing on an emotional, mental, and spiritual level.
…we should have the lowest confidence when we know the least. However, Dunning and Kruger found that when we don’t know what we don’t know, we overestimate our abilities. Or, as philosopher Bertrand Russell famously put it: “The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.”

Iranian Man Has Hair Growing Out Of His Eyeball
A 19-year-old man from Iran has a cyst with hair in his eyeball, and it’s not a sight “fur” sore eyes… The extremely rare condition does not permanently affect his vision, but it does impair it and gives him the feeling that a foreign object is in his eyes. What it the hairy cyst and how can i be solved? Find out right here.
The poor young Iranian’s eye suffers from a very rare tumor named “limbal dermoid” and it is considered to be so uncommon, that an ophthalmologist may see just one or a maximum of two in his entire medical career.
In the case of this 19 year old man, the weird formation was present since birth, and the patient said that it had not bothered him until it started to gradually grow, and evidently when it grew strands of hair. Throughout the 19 years of development, the cyst reached a diameter of 5 millimeters and the man started to complain that it was impairing his vision.
Although the cyst did not cause him any pain, it did cause a certain degree of discomfort while blinking, and an on-again-off-again feeling that there’s a foreign object in his eye. Taking all that discomfort into account, the doctors from the Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in Iran admitted the patient into the hospital and performed a cosmetic surgery on his eye in order to remove the bizarre 5mm by 6mm cyst.
The results of the surgery showed little improvement in visual acuity. The man still had 20/20 vision on his left eye, while as on his right eye, he had 20/60 due to the fact that he had a lazy eye and an astigmatism.
You are probably now thinking that out of all the places you can grow hair on your body, the est likely place for that to happen would be your eyeball… Well, that’s entirely rue, so let’s find out why this happened.
What is a limbal dermoid?
A limbal dermoid, also known as epibulbar or conjunctival dermoids, is a congenital condition that is cause in the womb, by the misplacement of certain cells in the eyeball. The dermoid cells are skin cells which are able to sprout hair, but they can also generate cartilage, sweat glands and in the worst case scenario… teeth
The limbal dermoid is always a benign tumor that does not significantly impair vision because it almost never develops on the central part of the cornea. Its management depends on the evolution of each case.
If it is a case in which the cyst remains small and asymptomatic, the indication is to leave it alone, although cosmetic surgery can be performed. If the cyst affects a patient’s eyesight, as was the case of the 19-year-old Iranian, surgery is highly indicated to stop the decrease of the patient’s vision.
Below you can see some more pictures of limbal dermoid cysts.
And in the video below, you can see how a limbal dermoid is removed.

Flat feet, also known as "fallen arches," is a common foot condition in which the arches flatten and the entire sole comes into contact with the ground. It can lead to issues, including overpronation, in which the feet roll inward excessively as they make contact with the ground while walking or running.
Overpronation can lead to pain in the feet, ankles, knees, and hips and an increased risk of injury. Continue reading to know more about the causes, treatment, and prevention of flat feet overpronation.
Causes of Flat Feet Overpronation
Several factors can contribute to the development of flat feet and overpronation. Some of the most common causes include:
- Genetics: Some people are more prone to developing flat feet due to their genetics.
- Age: As we age, the muscles and ligaments in our feet can become weaker, leading to the development of flat feet.
- Obesity: Being overweight can put additional strain on the feet and contribute to the development of flat feet.
- Pregnancy: Pregnancy can cause temporary flat feet due to the weight gain and hormonal changes.
- Certain medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and nerve conditions, can also lead to flat feet.
Treatment of Flat Feet Overpronation
The treatment of flat feet and overpronation will depend on the severity of the condition and the symptoms. Some remedy options include:
Stretching exercises: Stretching exercises can help to strengthen the muscles and ligaments in the feet, improving the arch.
Orthotic inserts: Orthotic inserts, also known as arch supports, can be placed in shoes to help support the arch.
Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help to strengthen the muscles and ligaments in the feet and improve overall foot function.
Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to correct the alignment of the feet and improve the arch.
Prevention of Flat Feet Overpronation
Here are some tips to help prevent the development of flat feet and overpronation.
- Wear properly fitting shoes: Choose shoes that fit well and provide ample support for the feet. Avoid shoes with worn-out soles or insufficient arch support.
- Stay active: Regular physical activity can help to strengthen the muscles and ligaments in the feet and prevent flat feet.
- Maintain a healthy weight: Being overweight can increase the risk of flat feet.
- Stretch regularly: Stretching the feet and lower legs can help to improve flexibility and prevent flat feet.
Overpronation and flat feet can be uncomfortable and painful. By understanding the causes, seeking appropriate treatment, and taking preventative measures, it is possible to manage and improve it. If you are experiencing foot pain or other issues related to flat feet and overpronation, seek proper diagnosis and treatment from a healthcare professional.

DETROIT >> One fan base was wading in familiar waters, the other, entering a foreign land.
While Clarkston fans ventured to Ford Field earlier in the decade to cheer on their Wolves in the state championship seasons of 2013 and 2014, respectively, the West Bloomfield faithful were making their first trip Saturday, as the Lakers were capping their longest postseason run in program history.
West Bloomfield took on OAA Red rival Clarkston Saturday afternoon in the Division 1 state finals in the first-ever matchup of league foes in a championship affair at the MHSAA’s highest level of football competition. The Wolves ultimately came away with a 3-2 victory.
Entering the state title contest, West Bloomfield was riding an 11-game winning streak, having rebounded from a 0-2 start to the campaign. Clarkston had won six straight, including a 23-13 Week 9 downing of Division 3 state finalist Farmington Hills Harrison
“My Lakers have come a long way since Week 1 (a 19-14 loss to 2016 Division 2 state finalist Walled Lake Western),” said T.J. Huber, a West Bloomfield alum (’94), who played wide receiver for the Lakers in the early 1990s. “I learned a lot about teamwork and how to compete when I was in the program. There’s a ton of Laker pride in this building (Saturday).”
Clarkston resident Phil Haar came to Ford Field Saturday with his two young daughters, 12-year old Katie and 8-year-old Maggie.
“I’ve followed the team all year, it’s nice to see them get a chance at a rematch,” he said.
Back in Week 4, West Bloomfield beat up on Clarkton at home, winning by a score of 37-15.
“I’m hoping the town will get to match the basketball state title from last winter with a football title, that would be pretty cool,” Haar said.
Clarkston’s boys basketball squad captured its first state crown last March. The Wolves hoopsters knocked off West Bloomfield in the state semifinals at the Breslin Center in East Lansing.
Colton McClory, an 11th grader at Clarkston, was a member of the football program last year, but came to Ford Field Saturday as a fan to root on his classmates, several of which he played on the gridiron with as far back as grade school when they won two youth league Super Bowls with the Clarkston Chiefs.
“This is pretty cool, we all played together as kids, I’m excited for them,” McClory said. “Everyone at school has been pumped up.”
Jordan Leibowitz, a West Bloomfield graduate from 2004, was eager to enjoy an experience his alma mater wasn’t accustomed to.
“It’s the school’s first time here, I want to support that and be a part of all the excitement,” he said.

Four more insane stories of niche Internet Drama
Star Wars Puppet cancelled, cow bomber fakes a harassment campaign, a disappearing demon kiss and HORSE CRIME
Welcome back, gremlins. Every once in a while, I run across a great story from social media that doesn’t really fit into a typical post. These are incredible stories, but either timed poorly with other posts, or a bit raunchy, or just passed by some time-sensitive breaking news.
I keep these stories in my back pocket, and I’m documenting them now as a bonus for paid subs. This week we’ve got four stories from the world of bizarre internet subcultures:
The disappearing asexual demon kiss
TikTok Star Wars Puppet cancelled for homophobia
Forum ecoterrorist cow bomber banned for faking their own harassment campaign
The horse fraud cancer scam

The Disappearing Asexual Demon Kiss
Good Omens is a TV show based on the book of the same name by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. The plot revolves around an angel and a demon who are on opposites sides of the celestial war - Aziraphale and Crowley. The two characters live on Earth, and have essentially grown used to being around humans. After 6000 years of being around one another, they’ve become friends. And as heaven and hell gear up for Armageddon and the final apocalyptic battle, Aziraphale and Crowley decide they like Earth too much to let it burn up in a grand religious conflict and decide to stop the apocalypse.
The book was a highly acclaimed best-seller, and the first season of the show essentially follows the book beat for beat, ending at the same point as the book ends. The show immediately developed a large fanbase, but it was unclear whether or not the show would continue - after all, the source material was exhausted.
Notably, the show developed a very specific kind of fanbase that you might call the tumblr-queercore-fanshipping scene. The internet in general (and Tumblr even more specifically) loves TV shows that feature ambiguous gay subtext, well written high concept sci-fi, and characters that can be romantically shipped. The first season of Good Omens is a feast for all three things. It oozes ambiguous gay signals from the two leads. In season one they’re never romantically involved in the slightest, but they sure do have a lot of long lunches together and dramatically save one another several times. They exchange glances. There’s enough there to read it as a gay relationship, or an asexual romance, etc. And boy was Tumblr ready and willing to do so.
Gaiman, for his part, has highly encouraged this. He’s highly active on both Twitter and Tumblr and often responds directly to fans. In response to frequent questions about whether the angel and demon were just good friends, or romantic interests, or in an asexual relationship, he responded like so:
I wouldn't exclude the ideas that they are ace, or aromantic, or trans. They are an angel and a demon, not as male humans, per the book. Occult/Ethereal beings don't have sexes, something we tried to reflect in the casting. Whatever Crowley and Aziraphale are, it's a love story.
He’s also definitively said the relationship is queer, although he’s never committed himself to any particular interpretation of what that means.
So! That’s where the fandom found itself waiting for season two of the show. Season two was special in that it was the first time there was anticipation of the unknown - the first season’s plot was directly from the book and predictable. The Good Omens fandom spent their time writing Aziracrow1 fanfictions and speculating what the second season might bring.
Then Amazon accidentally released this image six weeks before season two, and the fandom exploded:

I made one of my favorite savory pies with greens and fingerling potatoes from Chefs Garden.
When I was working in Gourmet’s test kitchen in the mid-Eighties and we styled a dish to be photographed that didn’t look perfect, we’d turn a negative into a positive by calling it “rustic” and bragging that it was “made by human hands.” That’s exactly the kind of thinking that went into this pie. Pastry-impaired as I am, I can’t help but love a pie that’s as free-form and forgiving as this one.
You start by making my very simple food-processor pie dough. Roll it out into a rough circle between sheets of plastic wrap and drop it into a pie plate. Spoon the filling into the middle of the pie, then fold in the edges, free-form style. Bake it up and you’re done. Family and friends will be amazed – “What, you made a savory pie on a weeknight!?” Yes, you did.
This baby’s real versatile, too. The eggs and potato, along with the cheese, are the binders, but you can swap out the greens and swap in any number of other vegetables, including blanched broccoli, sautéed zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, leeks, and so on. Likewise, you can use the lower-fat version of the cheeses or other cheeses altogether.
Basic Butter Pastry (below) or store-bought pastry for a single crust pie
3/4 pound small boiling potatoes
1 medium onion
3 large garlic cloves
A hefty pinch of red pepper flakes
1 1/2 pounds greens (chard, spinach, collards, mustard or a mixture)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 ounces Gruyere, Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 large eggs
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, preferably freshly grated.
Prepare the Basic Butter Pastry and chill while you make the filling.
Rinse the potatoes and cut them crosswise into 1 1/2-inch pieces: combine them with salted cold water to cover by 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil; reduce the heat to low and simmer the potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a knife, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, finely chop the onion (about 1 cup). Thoroughly rinse and spin dry the greens, remove the tough stems and coarsely chop the leaves. (If using chard the stems will be tender; reserve them to stir fry for another meal.)
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Reduce the heat to medium-low; add the onion and cook 5 minutes or until it has softened. Mince the garlic (about 1 tablespoon), add to the skillet along with the red pepper flakes and cook 1 minute. Add half of the greens and cook 4 to 5 minutes until they have wilted. Remove the greens with tongs to a medium bowl and repeat with the remaining half of the greens. Return the first batch of greens to the skillet and cook 2 minutes longer until any liquid that collected in the pan has evaporated.
When the potatoes are done, drain and mash them with a potato masher. Combine the potatoes and the greens mixture in a large bowl and set them aside to cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Meanwhile, roll out the pastry between lightly floured sheets of parchment paper to make a 12-inch round; pat the edge of the pastry to make the round even. Fit the pastry into a 9-inch pie plate; press it against the side of the plate allowing the excess to hang over the edge. Put in the fridge while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
Grate the Gruyere (about 1/2 cup) and Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 2/3 cup microplane-grated or about 1/3 cup grated on the fine side of a metal grater); add them to the potato mixture along with the ricotta, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste and stir well.
Lightly beat the eggs; set aside 1 tablespoon. Stir the remaining eggs into the potato mixture and spoon the filling into the pastry-lined pie plate.
Gently lift the overhanging pastry over the filling pleating as necessary to make it fit (it will make a 1- to 1 to 1 1/2-inch border covering the edge of the filling. will be uncovered in the center.) Brush the pastry with the reserved 1 tablespoon egg.
Bake the pie about 40 minutes until the filling is hot through and the pastry is golden. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
Basic Butter Pastry
Hands-On Time: 20 Minutes
Total Preparation Time: 20 Minutes
Makes enough pastry for Two 9-Inch Pie Shells or 1 Double-Crust Pie
2 c unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 t table salt
12 T (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter
2 large eggs yolks
Combine the flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with chopping blade. Cut the butter into 1/8-inch-thick slices and add to the flour mixture. Pulse 10 to 12 times, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Beat the yolks with 2 tablespoons ice water and add to the mixture; pulse 4 to 5 times, until a crumbly mixture forms. Press the mixture together to form a ball, adding more water, if necessary, to make it manageable.
You can immediately roll out the dough between lightly floured sheets of plastic wrap or, if you have the time, chill the dough for 1 hour before rolling it out. That allows the gluten in the flour to relax, ensuring a tender crust.
Use the pastry as directed in a recipe or divide it in half, shape it into balls and flatten slightly. Wrap the flattened rounds tightly in freezer wrap and freeze until firm for later use. Use within 3 months.

News tagged ‘test’
Apple в четверг выпустила седьмую бета-версию OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 для разработчиков и участников публичной программы тестирования. Интересно то, что релиз состоялся спустя всего через три дня после выхода шестой “беты”, которая могла похвастаться приложением Фото, поддержкой двухуровневой верификации Google, обновленными смайликами, а также рядом улучшений безопасности, стабильности и исправленными багами. Самая первая тестовая версия Yosemite 10.10.3 появилась где-то две месяца назад.
Although the ultra-thin 12-inch MacBook, which was officially announced at Apple’s “Spring Forward” media event is yet to be released, earlier this week, first benchmarks showing the performance level of the new laptop appeared on the Internet. According to the result of the tests, in terms of CPU speed, the new MacBook can be compared to the 2011 MacBook Air. However, because of the noticeable improvements, this device will surely beat the old Air in terms of SSD speed and graphics performance.
According to the latest report shared by a well-known and usually reliable Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, Apple may sell as many as 1 million Apple Watch units in the launch weekend with more than 300.000 units sold in the first 24 hours. Of course, this does not necessarily mean that all of the units purchased over the first days will be immediately shipped to the customers. You see, Apple may see serious constraints at launch due to the strong demand and relatively poor inventory of the wearable device.
According to the latest announcement made by Apple, the company will raise the prices on the Japanese App Store within the next 24 hours. Such a step is caused by the fluctuations of the currency exchange rate in this Asian country. The guys from Cupertino say the changes won’t affect active subscribers immediately, however, they will have to pay more to renew their subscriptions for services and to purchase new apps and games. Apple will notify local users either by email, or through the official website.
According to the latest report from a research firm Phoenix Marketing, 66% of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users have signed up for the new mobile payments service called Apple Pay since its official launch in the USA. With such a number of active users, the service has occupied 11% of the market it this country.
Apple on Monday seeded the sixth OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 beta to developers and the members of public beta testing program. The release came just one week after the release of the fifth beta, which contained a number of minor stability and performance improvements, and nearly two months after the debut of the first 10.10.3 beta.
Several images showing something very similar to the mockup of the upcoming iPad Pro have been recently spotted on the Internet. While the origin of the leaked dummy remains unknown, most likely it was created by accessory manufacturers. The design of the mockup is based on the latest rumors and schematics, which can be found online.
It is Sunday today, which means it is high time I told you about the most interesting posts of the past seven days. Let’s take a look at them right now.
According to the latest rumors shared by reliable insiders, the in-store Apple Watch inventory in the USA will be heavily constrained at launch. This means many smartwatch models will not be available for purchase in April. That is why I believe that pre-ordering the long-anticipated wearable device is the best possible option for all those who plan to purchase it in the near future. Well, at least in the United States.
As you probably know, Apple is currently working on its new streaming music service, which is based on the Beats Music functionality and which is expected to be embedded either to iOS 8.4 or iOS 9. According to the latest report released by The New York Times reporters, Trent Reznor and Jimmy Iovine are playing major roles in the development of the service. The reporters believe that in terms of functionality and usability this Apple’s creation will be quite similar to Beats Music and that it will be priced $9.99 per month, just like the rival services.
Following the release of the fifth OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 beta, the guys from Cupertino on Tuesday made the fourth iOS 8.3 beta available for developers. This same beta is also available for the members of iOS public beta testing program. The release comes nearly two weeks after the release of the previous iOS 8.3 beta, which could boast of support of Google’s two-step verification, wireless CarPlay connectivity, new emojis and a number of other improvements.
Following the release of the fourth beta of iOS 8.3 to developers and public testers, the guys from Cupertino stopped signing iOS 8.1.3. I must admit, this is a piece of bad news for all those people who use jailbroken iPhones and iPads as it is now impossible to downgrade to this version of Apple’s mobile operating system after unsuccessful jailbreak. The risk of turning your fully functional device into a brick has once again risen.
Apple on Monday released the fifth OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 beta to developers public beta testers for testing. The release came just one week after the release of the fourth pre-release OS X version and about a month after the debut of the very first 10.10.3 beta.
Apart from Siri’s ability to make calls using iPhone’s speakerphone added to the latest iOS 8.3 beta, one beta-tester has recently noticed one more feature included to the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system. This feature is a new Setting tab called Password Settings. It allows user to configure the frequency of password entries in the iTunes and App Store as well as to let him download free apps without using the password. If you take a look at the screenshot below, you will see what exactly has changed in iOS 8.3.
It is Sunday today, which means it’s high time I told you about the most interesting posts of the last seven days. Let’s not waste time and take a look at the articles you might like right now.

Dejan Kulusevski, who plays for Italian club Juventus, “will not be available for the game against Spain, as it appears today”, Andersson told a press conference on Tuesday afternoon.
The team’s doctor, Anders Valentin, later said that midfielder Mattias Svanberg had also tested positive.
On Monday Sweden are due to face Group E rivals Spain, who find themselves in a similar situation following the withdrawal of team captain Sergio Busquets after he too tested positive for the virus.
“We won’t bring in anyone else to replace Dejan,” Andersson said, adding that he hoped that Kulusevski would be back soon.
The announcements come as Sweden reel from the loss of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who had to cancel his much-touted return to a major international tournament with his country due to a knee injury in mid-May.
Valentin said they believed Kulusevski had contracted the virus at some point during the three days off the players were given after returning from friendly games against Armenia and Finland, both won by Sweden.
He said the player had not really been in contact with other players during the last few days and that there was “a good chance he hadn’t infected anyone else”.
But only hours later, Valentin confirmed that a second player had tested positive.
“When all the tests arrived we saw that Mattias Svanberg had gotten a positive test. Mattias won’t train with the team and is not being isolated at the hotel,” Valentin said in a statement, adding that the test would be re-analysed.
The team said they would follow the guidance of Swedish health authorities of waiting at least seven days, of which two needed to be symptom free, before allowing Kulusevski to return to his teammates.
Unlike their Spanish opponents, the Swedish team will not be vaccinated, with the team doctor saying it was both not efficient since it takes weeks for the vaccine to become effective and that it would be “morally dubious”.
“I think it’s good that old and sick people go first,” Valentin told news agency TT.
After Spain, Sweden is set to face Slovakia on June 18 and Poland on June 23 in Group E.
Before Spain and Sweden, the Netherlands also had to leave out goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen, who tested positive for Covid-19 last week.
The Swedish Football Association said late on Tuesday that it would tighten its Covid-19 rules to ensure no more players test positive. These will include:
- Daily rapid tests of the players and more PCR tests
- All theory-based meetings about tactics will be held in smaller groups and the biggest rooms available
- Any treatments of players will be time-limited and should take place outdoors if possible
- All planned joint indoor activities will be cancelled
- They will travel together on the bus as little as possible
- The number of players allowed in gyms and other indoor spaces at the same time will be further limited


County blesses three new fire response vehicles
LAHAINA — A blessing ceremony was held last week Tuesday at the Lahaina Fire Station for three new Maui County Fire Department response vehicles: a water tanker truck for Lahaina, a mini pumper truck for Napili and a mini pumper truck for Kula.
Mayor Charmaine Tavares and Fire Chief Jeffrey Murray discussed the additional firefighting capacity provided by the new vehicles for the Lahaina, Napili and Kula communities.
The blessing was conducted by Rev. Earl Kukahiko, assisted by his son, Earle Kukahiko.
All three vehicles — built by SVI Trucks of Loveland, Colorado — were purchased with general county funds.
Tanker 3 was named Ma‘a‘a (famous wind of Lahaina; also daring, brave and bold). The 2,000-gallon capacity, $629,990 tanker will serve the Lahaina District.
Mini 11 for Napili was named Noweoula (local rain of Napili, or “scarlet red,” referring to the color of the light, consistent drizzle common in the area). The $177,406 vehicle will serve the Napili District.

Cruising The Nile
I found this wonderful vintage Pathe film about cruising The Nile on Facebook today and thought it would be of interest to anyone hoping to cruise the nile in the future or as a lovely reminder for thos who have already made this magical journey. Towards the end it describes the amazing plans behind moving the temples on Lake Nasser. It will give you a real insight on the scale of hat they planned. If you take the optional excursion to Abu Simbel you’ll see just what they actually achieved…If you choose the HD option you will get a better visual experience):
Various shots of a steamer sailing up the Nile with tourists looking out at palm trees.
We see the temples at Luxor and Thebes including a statue of sun-god Amun-Re. Then we see people sunbathing on the steamer.
We see more of Egypt including the temple at Edfu, statue of Horus the Hawk and Felukka boat on the water. There are various shots of the big statues and columns at Kom-Ombo.
Shots of Nubia and the temple and sphinxes at Wadi El Sibua which are to be moved before the Aswan dam is built. We see the temple at Abu Simbel and the statue of Rameses and Queen Nefartari. To save it the plan is to cut it loose from the rock face and put it on concrete slabs. Various shots of the statues and two men looking at some plans.

Luxor was the ancient city of Thebes, the great capital of (Upper) Egypt during the New Kingdom, and the glorious city of Amun, later to become the god Amun-Ra. The city was regarded in the Ancient Egyptian texts as wꜣs.t (approximate pronunciation: “Waset”), which meant “city of the sceptre”, and also as tꜣ ı͗pꜣt (conventionally pronounced as “ta ipet” and meaning “the shrine”) and then, in a later period, the Greeks called it Thebai and the Romans after them Thebae.
Thebes was also known as “the city of the 100 gates”, sometimes being called “southern Heliopolis” (‘Iunu-shemaa’ in Ancient Egyptian), to distinguish it from the city of Iunu or Heliopolis, the main place of worship for the god Ra in the north. It was also often referred to as niw.t, which simply means “city”, and was one of only three cities in Egypt for which this noun was used (the other two were Memphis and Heliopolis); it was also called niw.t rst, “southern city”, as the southernmost of them.
The importance of the city started as early as the 11th Dynasty, when the town grew into a thriving city. Montuhotep II who united Egypt after the troubles of the first intermediate period brought stability to the lands as the city grew in stature. The Pharaohs of the New Kingdom in their expeditions to Kush, in today’s northern Sudan, and to the lands of Canaan, Phoenicia and Syria saw the city accumulate great wealth and rose to prominence, even on a world scale.
Thebes played a major role in expelling the invading forces of the Hyksos from Upper Egypt, and from the time of the 18th Dynasty to the 20th Dynasty, the city had risen as the political, religious and military capital of Ancient Egypt.
The city attracted peoples such as the Babylonians, the Mitanni, the Hittites of Anatolia (modern-day Turkey), the Canaanites of Ugarit, the Phoenicians of Byblos and Tyre, the Minoans from the island of Crete. A Hittite prince from Anatolia even came to marry with the widow of Tutankhamun, Ankhesenamun. The political and military importance of the city, however, faded during the Late Period, with Thebes being replaced as political capital by several cities in Northern Egypt, such as Bubastis, Sais and finally Alexandria.
However, as the city of the god Amun-Ra, Thebes remained the religious capital of Egypt until the Greek period. The main god of the city was Amun, who was worshipped together with his wife, the Goddess Mut, and their son Khonsu, the God of the moon. With the rise of Thebes as the foremost city of Egypt, the local god Amon rose in importance as well and became linked to the sun god Ra, thus creating the new ‘king of gods’ Amon-Ra. His great temple, at Karnak just north of Thebes, was the most important temple of Egypt right until the end of antiquity.
Later, the city was attacked by Assyrian emperor Assurbanipal who installed the Libyan prince on the throne, Psamtik I. The city of Thebes was in ruins and fell in significance. However, Alexander the Great did arrive at the temple of Amun, where the statue of the god was transferred from Karnak during the Opet Festival, the great religious feast.
Thebes remained a site of spirituality up to the Christian era, and attracted numerous Christian monks in the Roman Empire who established monasteries amidst several ancient monuments including the temple of Hatshepsut, now called Deir el-Bahri (“the northern monastery”).

With Google slated to announce its updated Pixel hardware lineup next month, there has been a number of leaks over the past few days of what Google’s latest hardware designs for its Chromebook could look like. Google is widely expected to take the wraps off of what appears to be two distinct Pixelbook 2 models at its October media event, and the latest images of show what appears to be a convertible Chromebook design with a virtually bezel-less display.
Given that the ad depicts what appears to be a Chrome OS device with a similar convertible form factor to the Pixelbook, this design may be for the Pixelbook 2 model with a code name of Atlas. Like the current generation model, this design allows the Pixelbook 2 to convert between laptop and tablet modes with its 360-degree hinge. What’s interesting is that the images for this device come by way of official Google ads on Facebook and not from leaks.
Images of what is believed to be the Pixelbook 2 Atlas were posted by Chrome Unboxed. At this time, it’s unclear if this will be the final design of the device or if Google is merely trolling the internet. The narrow bezels could be the result of photo manipulation, a practice that’s not uncommon for rendering images in advertisements. However, if the design is accurate, the practicality of having virtually no bezels is questionable, as it would make this device hard to hold while being used as a tablet.
But this could still be a trend that Google will pursue for its next generation of Pixelbook designs — just not to this extreme. In an earlier leak, a developer build of Chrome OS revealed an animation of a tablet with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and slimmed down bezels. If Google does indeed choose this design route for the Nocturne, as its ad would lead us to believe, it would need a new placement for the webcam since the screen extends fully to the top, sides, and bottom edges.
Over the weekend, a short Pixelbook 2 video was leaked, showing a device with slim bezels and a keyboard design with rounded keys. The video’s close-up view of the device doesn’t reveal too much about the overall design, but it’s believed that the Pixelbook 2 shown is a tablet with a detachable keyboard design. This would make this second Pixelbook 2 model more competitive against tablets, like Microsoft’s Surface Go and Surface Pro models as well as Apple’s iPad tablets. If the convertible model is referenced as Atlas, then the Pixelbook 2 tablet with its detachable design could be the Nocturne model.
Despite the number of leaks in recent days, it’s still unclear whether Google plans on unveiling both or either Pixelbook 2 models or designs at its October event.

Apple from Pine tree?
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) work wonders because it removes dead skin cells, which is mainly made up of a protein called keratin.
But did you know there is a type of plant enzymes called Proteolyitc enzymes that actually help to dissolve the layer of keratin ?
Pineapple is a main source of Proteolytic plant enzyme. The enzyme helps to fight free-radicals that damage the skin and helps to remove dead skin cells while detoxifying to give a clean, rejuvenated skin.
Pineapple is useful against acne as it has anti-inflammation properties. Having exfoliating and anti-acne properties, pineapple makes your skin spotless and young.
And it makes good cocktails too!
Off the Kitchen
1. Prepare 1 tablespoon of pineapple juice
2. Spread the juice onto face and massage gently

The Receptionist is a very creepy play that is set in a strangely ambiguous, Kafka-esque world. The entire play revolves around one simple line, which I can't quite recall, and which would also give away the whole premise if I put it here; so I won't.

As the world continues to face a multitude of challenges, from natural disasters to economic and political upheavals, the need for resilience has never been greater. For coral reef-dependent communities, this is particularly crucial, as they are often the most vulnerable to major shocks such as coral bleaching, overfishing, floods, Tsunami’s and several other effects of climate change.
In this article, we shall delves into the possible risks, the concept of building resilience and how it can help coral reef-dependent communities cope with major shocks. Drawing upon extensive research and firsthand experience working with these communities, this article provides practical insights and actionable strategies for building resilience in the face of adversity and promulgating sustainable methods of living with the sea as the provider and living a life without it..
From developing community-based monitoring systems to promoting sustainable tourism practices, the article highlights the critical role that communication can play in building resilience and fostering long-term sustainability. Whether you area community member, NGO, or government agency working to support coral reef- dependent communities, this article offers valuable insights and practical guidance for navigating the challenges ahead.
Coral reefs are one of the most diverse and important ecosystems on the planet, providing critical ecosystem services such as food, livelihoods, and coastal protection. However, coral reefs are facing unprecedented threats from a variety of sources, including natural disasters, economic downturns, and health crises. These shocks can have devastating impacts on coral reef-dependent communities, but there are ways to build resilience and promote recovery. In this article, we will explore some examples and references of recovery and resilience of coral reef-dependent communities in the face of major shocks.
Natural disasters such as hurricanes and cyclones can have catastrophic effects on coral reefs and the communities that depend on them. In 2017, Hurricane Irma devastated the Florida Keys, damaging up to 90% of the coral reefs in some areas. However, researchers have found that some coral reefs in the area are showing signs of recovery, thanks to a combination of natural processes and restoration efforts. In the Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary, researchers have found that areas where coral reefs were restored prior to the hurricane had higher survival rates than areas that were not restored.
Other areas that have been affected by natural disasters include;
Great Barrier Reef, Australia – In 2011, Cyclone Yasi caused extensive damage to the Great Barrier Reef, particularly in the area around Cairns. The damage was so severe that it was visible from space. In response, the Australian government launched a Reef Recovery Plan that included measures to improve water quality and reduce pollution. The plan also included efforts to control the population of crown-of-thorns starfish, which can damage coral reefs.
Caribbean Coral Reefs – Hurricanes Irma and Maria caused significant damage to Caribbean coral reefs
in 2017. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported that more than 60% of coral reefs in the U.S. Virgin Islands were damaged or destroyed by the storms. In response, organizations like the Nature Conservancy and the Coral Restoration Foundation launched initiatives to restore damaged coral reefs. These initiatives involved planting coral fragments and using underwater nurseries to help coral reefs recover.
Tohoku, Japan – In 2011, a massive earthquake and tsunami struck the coast of Tohoku, Japan, causing significant damage to nearby coral reefs. The local community responded by launching a project to rebuild the coral reefs using a technique called coral transplantation. The project involved collecting coral fragments from healthy reefs and transplanting them onto damaged reefs. Over time, the transplanted coral grew and helped to rebuild the damaged reef ecosystem.
Phi Phi Islands, Thailand – In 2004, a tsunami caused significant damage to coral reefs around the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand. The local community responded by launching a coral reef restoration project that involved transplanting coral fragments and using artificial reef structures to help the damaged reefs recover. The project was successful, and the restored coral reefs have become a popular attraction for tourists visiting the area.
Economic downturns can also have significant impacts on coral reef-dependent communities, particularly those that rely on tourism. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on the global tourism industry, with many communities that depend on tourism struggling to make ends meet. However, there are examples of communities that have been able to adapt and build resilience in the face of economic shocks. In Indonesia, for example, the Misool Eco Resort has been able to weather the pandemic by shifting its focus to domestic tourists and offering alternative activities such as birdwatching and hiking.
Health crises can also have significant impacts on coral reef-dependent communities, particularly those that rely on fisheries for food and livelihoods. In Fiji, for example, the outbreak of ciguatera poisoning in 2019 led to a decline in the consumption of reef fish, which are a staple food for many communities. However, researchers have found that communities that were able to diversify their diets and income sources were better able to cope with the crisis. For example, some communities shifted their focus to agriculture and livestock farming, while others started small businesses selling handicrafts and other products.
Building resilience is key to helping coral reef- dependent communities recover from major shocks. This can involve a variety of strategies, such as:
- Restoring damaged coral reefs
- Diversifying livelihoods and income sources
- Promoting sustainable fishing practices
- Strengthening community networks and socialcapital
- Supporting education and capacity buildingFor example, in the Philippines, the Coral Triangle Initiative has been working to promote sustainable fisheries and protect coral reefs by strengthening community networks and providing education and training to fishermen. In Jamaica, the CARIBSAVE Partnership has been working to restore damaged coral reefs and promote sustainable tourism by building partnerships between local communities, businesses, and government agencies.
Coral reef-dependent communities can take a number of actions to increase their resilience and ability to cope with major shocks such as natural disasters, economic downturns, and health crises. Some of the key actions that these communities can take include:
Diversifying livelihoods and income sources: Communities that rely heavily on a single industry, such as tourism or fishing, are more vulnerable to economic shocks. By diversifying their livelihoods and income sources, these communities can spread their risk and reduce their vulnerability. This might involve exploring alternative industries, such as agriculture or ecotourism, or developing new skills and expertise.
Promoting sustainable fishing practices: Overfishing and destructive fishing practices can weaken coral reefs and make them more vulnerable to natural disasters and other shocks. By promoting sustainable fishing practices, such as using selective gear and avoiding overfishing, communities can help protect their local coral reefs and ensure a reliable source of food and income.
Strengthening community networks and social capital: Strong community networks and social capital can help
communities respond more effectively to shocks and recover more quickly. By working together and supporting each other, communities can share knowledge, resources, and expertise, and build a sense of collective resilience.
Supporting education and capacity building: Education and capacity building can help communities develop the skills and knowledge they need to adapt to changing circumstances and build resilience over the long term. This might involve providing training in new skills and technologies, or supporting education programs for children and young people.
Restoring damaged coral reefs: Restoring damaged coral reefs can help rebuild ecosystem resilience and provide important habitat for fish and other marine species. Coral reef restoration can involve a range of techniques, including coral transplantation, coral gardening, and artificial reef structures.
In summary, building resilience in the face of major shocks requires a holistic approach that addresses economic, social, and environmental factors. By taking these actions, coral reef- dependent communities can build a more sustainable future and reduce their vulnerability to future shocks.
Major shocks such as natural disasters, economic downturns, and health crises can have devastating impacts on coral reef- dependent communities. However, there are ways to build resilience and promote recovery. By restoring damaged coral reefs, diversifying livelihoods, promoting sustainable fishing practices, strengthening community networks, and supporting education and capacity building, providing alternative sustainable income streams and skills that encourage sustainable self sufficiency, we can help these communities weather the storms and build better futures.
