FOR DECADES, THE AMERICAN DREAM has revolved around a ranch house on a spacious lot in the suburbs. Cities, once emblematic of the sophisticated good life, seemed dirty, crowded and dangerous. They were perceived as warehouses for the poor, dreary, dead-end places from whose mean streets anybody able to escape should. A lacework of expressways built with federal funds after World War II pointed the way out of the nation's metropolises. Government-insured mortgages enabled ex-GIs and their families to pioneer that route.
Now, though, there's a new mantra about city living. It's a reprised anthem from the Jazz Age, when the bright lights of the country's urban hubs drew the hip and high-spirited.
"It's chic to be urban," says Mark L. Joseph, a neighborhood-redevelopment specialist at the University of Chicago. Other sociologists have observed that people who, not so long ago, would have shuddered at the thought of city living-much less inner-city living-have become urban pioneers.
In Chicago, they are flocking to such areas as North Kenwood/Oakland, long visually dominated by rubble-filled empty lots, the last remains of a community once home to the city's elite and afterward a victim of urban decay and failed urban renewal.
Now, the south-lakefront neighborhood is again a fashionable address. Shabby-looking, century-old row houses are being restored by a new generation of owners eager to plunk down hundreds of thousands of dollars for properties that could scarcely have been given away not long ago. They have voted with their feet-and wallets-for the stimulation of urban living over the tranquillity of suburbia.
"Ninety percent of the people who come through this sales center are not from the neighborhood," says David Chase, president and CEO of Thrush Companies, which is building a new residential community, Jazz on the Boulevard, in the heart of North Kenwood/Oakland- just one big-city neighborhood to become a "happening" place after long being a place where nothing was happening.
In "Comeback Cities," published in 2000, Paul S. Grogan and Tony Proscio made a wishful prediction that the nation's cities would again become vibrant, exciting communities. Some critics dismissed it as pie-in-the-sky thinking, but scarcely six years later, that vision can be seen in formerly moribund communities across the nation.
In St. Louis, the George L. Vaughn public housing project-where thousands of units in an area two miles in diameter dragged down the surrounding neighborhood-has been converted to a mixed-income residential development. In New York's South Bronx, where the local police station was formerly called "Fort Apache," brownstones are selling for half a million dollars. In Louisville, a new housing development known as Park DuValle has risen where there once stood a housing project so dreary it was dubbed "The Bricks." Crime in the neighborhood has dropped 82 percent.
In Boston, 300 vacant lots in Roxbury, a chronically devastated neighborhood south of downtown, have been transformed into attractive, affordable housing. "Ten years ago, absolutely no one would think that Roxbury would be facing gentrification," says Matt Thall, senior program director in the Boston office of Local Initiatives Support Organization, a private agency that supports community redevelopment efforts nationally.
Yet, nowhere has a community made a comeback with such seemingly miraculous speed as North Kenwood/Oakland, which is bounded by 35th and 47th Streets, Cottage Grove Avenue and the lakefront. It has become a textbook for neighborhood renewal nationwide, but Ald. Toni Preckwinkle, whose 4th Ward encompasses the community, cautions that those who lived through the transformation understand the story's nuances. It needs to be carefully digested, not speed-read.
"There was a lot of hard work before 'bingo,' " Preckwinkle says. All the right stuff combined at just the right time, notes the U. of C.'s Joseph, who proclaims North Kenwood/Oakland the "perfect storm" of neighborhood rebirth. Some key ingredients:
* A location so attractive that it drew urban pioneers even before the neighborhood's negatives were dealt with.
* A storehouse of vacant, city-owned land used as a financial lure to developers who had been reluctant to build in inner-city neighborhoods.
* A pro-development representative in City Hall.
* A An end to being a warehouse for the poorest of the poor, a burden imposed on inner-city neighborhoods by local and national housing policies over half a century.
* An aggressive community organization able to motivate homeowners to demand upgrading of their neighborhood.
* Local control over the community's destiny, a reversal of the long-imposed, top-down decision-making.
* A major local institution to lend a helpful-but not controlling-hand; in this case, the University of Chicago.

The restaurant has annexed the adjacent storefront in the building. What was once a handbag shop is now a lounge area with bar. The entrance to the restaurant is now through this new space. The bar has beer, wine, and sake-only for now, although Borgognone is considering applying for a full license. There is also a bar menu that includes select offerings from the main restaurant served a la carte. Take a look around the new space above, and if you visit the Sushi Nakazawa bar, let us know all about it.

Evidence suggests there are 5 steps you can take to help improve your mental health and wellbeing, these are connect, be active, take notice, keep learning and give. The problem is children do not remember these.
We need to maintain a healthy stress level and give children the tools to help reduce their own stress levels. Once children know these tools, then they are equipped for life. SMILERS is a memorable way for children to remember how to support their own mental health and wellbeing. The school's anti-stigma ambassadors have been a major part in training and leading this initiative.
“There has never been a more crucial time to support our schools and equip our teachers, to build emotional resilience in our children & young people. The mental health of our children is eroding before our eyes…we need to bring back their SMILE. These are perfect resources for implementing a Recovery Curriculum .” Professor Barry Carpenter, CBE, PhD.
Professor of Mental Health in Education, Oxford Brookes University. (January 2020)
We launched SMILERS on the 31st of March 2022. We had timetabled street dance sessions and we had a visit from Walter, Our Wellbeing Owl. All classes also now have a SMILERS station.

Baldwin accounts for 3 TDs for Wellsville
The Wellsville Lions want to make the most of this new opportunity and one win away from accomplishing that goal.
Dusty Baldwin threw a pair of touchdowns to Trystin Plummer and added a 33-yard touchdown run of his own as Wellsville coasted to a 33-0 win over Dansville in Thursday night’s opening round of the Class C?Connors &?Ferris Bowl.
“The goal here is to get a couple of wins and send the seniors out with their heads held high and build something for next year,” said Wellsville head coach Frank Brown. “The boys really came to play tonight on all sides of the ball.”
Wellsville (3-5) failed to qualify for sectionals one year after winning the program’s first-ever Section V title, losing five of its last six games. However, the Lions will now have a chance to capture the Connors &?Ferris Bowl championship for the third time in four years against either Marcus Whitman or University Prep next week at a time and site to be determined.
“It’s an opportunity to play another football game,” said Brown. “We’re going to work hard for the opportunity, so let’s get this thing done and get four wins and send the seniors out with a couple of wins and get our underclassmen some playing time like we did tonight and get ready for 2013.”
Baldwin finished 7-of-8 for 87 yards and also rushed four times for 60 yards. Wellsville rushed for 228 yards as 11 different players had at least one carry.
Nick Anderson led Wellsville with 62 yards and a touchdown on six carries and Plummer’s only receptions were those touchdowns and finished with 87 yards receiving.
“We had a couple of mismatches in certain formations that we wanted to take advantage of in man coverage,” said Brown. “Trystin ran great routes and Dusty put the ball exactly where he needed to.”
Zack Cunningham caught two passes for 42 yards for the Lions before leaving the game with a leg injury.
Wellsville also held Dansville (1-7) to only two yards net rushing and 74 yards of total offense. The Mustangs were short-handed with eight starters out due to injury, including quarterback Cody Schwan and fullback Evan Dieter.
“One of the things we’re going to focus on in this off-season is not just becoming a better football team, but also becoming better, more responsible people,” said Dansville first-year head coach Terry Conway. “You’ve got to start thinking like winners. It’s been too long in Dansville.
“I started coaching in 1985 and we went to sectionals every year and back then we only took four teams to sectionals,” added Conway. “We were one of the top-four teams in Class?B all the time. I?don’t know what happened, the bottom fell out. We’ve struggled to get people out and struggled to get commitment and got used to losing, but we’ve got to change that.”
Tyler Campbell rushed for 42 yards on 13 carries, Gage Koch caught three passes for 70 yards, and Dustin Dieter had seven tackles for Dansville.
After a sloppy first quarter in which Wellsville fumbled two punts and Dansville missed a 30-yard field goal, Baldwin’s scramble down the right side early in the second quarter broke the scoreless tie.
Plummer then caught touchdowns of 35 and 52 yards to give Wellsville a 19-0 halftime lead. Anderson added a seven-yard touchdown in the third which came one play after his 22-yard run set up the score.
Later in the third, senior Trevor Jackson — normally a lineman — went in as a running back and scored his first varsity touchdown from five yards out to make it 33-0.
“I never got the ball before, but they handed it off to me and I ran as hard as I could,” said Jackson. “I was going to make it in there, one way or another. I?had no idea I was going to get the ball. They told me to go in at tailback and I went in there and ran.”
Tyler Brion and Chris Harris both had seven tackles and a sack and Brady Lewis added six tackles and a sack for the Lions. Wellsville finished with five sacks, as Bryce Hamlin and Craig Brown also had sacks.
“It’s one of those situations where we controlled the line of scrimmage all night long,” said Frank Brown.

Engineers and scientists -- including social scientists -- need to work together and urgently to address 14 engineering challenges identified as crucial to Earth's future last year by the National Academy of Engineering, said academy director Charles Vest in a March 2 kickoff address at the Durham Performance Arts Center during the first session of a summit on those problems.
Panels of experts have compartmentalized those challenges into six broad areas, Vest said at the two-day event, hosted by Duke University, the University of Southern California's Viterbi School of Engineering and Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering. Those include energy use, addressing global warming, maintaining sustainability, delivering health care, security against human and natural threats, and developing ways to enhance human capability and joy.
Speaking as a snowstorm was moving up the East Coast and the stock market continued to nosedive in a face of dire and worldwide economic news, Vest remained upbeat. "I believe this is the most exciting time in human history to be engaged with science and engineering," he said. But to harness that excitement, engineering educators also need to revamp curricula to lure more socially committed youth to major in engineering, he added.
A. Paul Alivisatos, the interim director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, said he has noticed a startling turnaround of student interest in helping resolve such issues as climate change and such consequences as the potential for geopolitical conflict due to competition for water, land and other resources.
Alivisatos concentrated on another hot button issue, energy use, which he said contrary to public perception does not always increase as nations get wealthier. For example, the State if California's overall energy use actually held steady when compared to domestic outputs after new state standards stimulated new industry innovations in refrigerator efficiencies.
Alivasatos, who replaced Nobel Laureate Steven Chu at Lawrence Berkeley after Chu became Energy Secretary, also described new research efforts to boost efficiencies of collecting the sun's energy by developing solar cells made of nanocrystals or plastics and temporarily storing that energy in molecules like Nature does in photosynthesis.
Robert Socolow, a professor of chemistry, materials science and nanoscience at Princeton University, said successes at building large scale power grids are considered the number one grand engineering achievement of the 20th century. But the goal for the 21st century is not to significantly expand that power capacity but rather improve the efficiency of what exists now with techniques such as recycling waste heat. Tapping nuclear fusion will be a "century-long challenge," and building more nuclear fission power plants a shorter one, Socolow predicted.
Meanwhile, technology is already being developed to remove carbon dioxide from industrial exhausts and store it underground so it can't contribute to global warming, he said. A new challenge will be to regulate the proliferation of nitrogen in a way analogous to CO2, perhaps by engineering more plants to produce it instead of relying on industrial fertilizers.

Early in 2010, when my secondhand book collecting – an interest which had only really been kindled the year before – was gathering pace and Existential Ennui was drifting towards its eventual destination as – and stop me if you've heard this one before – an increasingly circumlocutory chronicle of what has since become, let's be frank, a flaming obsession, I decided to finally try The Hunter, the first novel in Richard Stark's twenty-four book series starring taciturn heister Parker. I'd been thinking about it for a while before that, having long been an admirer of John Boorman's 1967 film adaptation of The Hunter, Point Blank; indeed it was in the British Coronet movie tie-in paperback edition – a slightly scruffy copy since replaced with a rather nicer one – that I eventually read The Hunter – retitled, accordingly, as Point Blank.
It was lust at first sight: stripped-back, brutally efficient prose; a cold-hearted protagonist as fascinating in his own way as another fictional career criminal I'd previously fallen for (Tom Ripley, of Patricia Highsmith's Ripliad); and a structure whose seeming simplicity belied the clever tricks played by the narrative. In short order I bought and read a Coronet paperback of the next book in the series, The Man with the Getaway Face (or The Steel Hit as it was titled by Coronet), then a US Berkley paperback of the third Parker, The Outfit, and I was off to the races: like so many before me I had embarked on my own personal Parker odyssey. (Somewhere during that first flurry of books I learned that "Richard Stark" was a pen name, just one of many employed by Donald E. Westlake, thus instigating a larger, parallel odyssey... but that's another story.)
At that stage I wasn't giving much thought to how I was collecting the Parkers; I just knew I wanted to read them, preferably in cheap, vintage paperback editions (which, given that they were mostly out of print in the UK at that point, was how they were largely available). Then I encountered Allison & Busby's hardback editions of the Parkers, issued in the UK in the 1980s. I think I first saw a copy of the 1984 A&B edition of Point Blank, with its black, foil-embossed bullet-holes dust jacket (designed, like the bulk of the A&B Parker jackets, by Mick Keates), on the shelves of the late lamented Nigel Williams Rare Books on London's Cecil Court – priced out of my range, naturally (I rarely ever actually bought anything from Nigel Williams, much as I loved the place).
My book collecting inclinations were increasingly leaning towards modern firsts, and consequently my curiosity was piqued: though the A&B Parkers weren't, strictly speaking, the first editions of the novels – for the sixteen Parkers in the original 1962-1974 run of the series that honour belonged to American publishers Pocket Books and Gold Medal in the '60s and Random House in the '70s – they were the first hardback editions (in most cases; Slayground was published straight to hardback by Random House, and I later discovered that another three of the Parkers A&B published were first issued as hardbacks by Gold Lion in 1973).
Here, then, was an interesting way for me to collect the bulk of the Parker series, one which I readily – perhaps foolhardily, given how pricey some of them were – embraced. I secured a relatively inexpensive copy of Allison & Busby's edition of Point Blank, and over the next six months managed to track down the majority of the remainder of the thirteen Parkers A&B issued in hardback (A&B did publish a fourteenth title, Deadly Edge, but only in paperback), chronicling the quest on Existential Ennui as I did so.
And then my mission stalled: two of the Allison & Busby Parkers proved highly elusive, partly due to scarcity, partly to prohibitive prices. One of those, the 1986 hardback of the sixth Parker, The Jugger, I eventually managed to nab in 2011, leaving me with just one last Allison & Busby hardback to find at an affordable price. Which brings me, in my usual long-winded manner, to the point of this post:
That there is the first (and only) hardback edition of Richard Stark's The Black Ice Score, Parker #11, published by Allison & Busby in 1986 under a Mick Keates-designed dust jacket and won by me on eBay last month. The irony here is that the Parker that took me the longest time to acquire in hardback (I bought an Allison & Busby paperback in 2010 as a stopgap) is the one that I probably like the least – but that's by the by; what matters is what it represents: the last piece of a collection that has taken me over three years to complete.
Which leaves me with an odd mixture of feelings. There's a sense of accomplishment, sure, but also a little sadness (in every meaning of the word, heading any quips off at the pass). Trying to find all of the Allison & Busby hardback Parkers has been a constant in my book collecting, not to mention my blogging about that book collecting – the one feeding the other. My crazed quest to collect all of the A&B editions helped to build Existential Ennui's (admittedly still slender) readership: I know there are some folk who began following the blog as a direct result of that quest. (Some of them have even stuck around, poor buggers.) I guess reaching the end of a journey – to use X Factor parlance – any journey, however minor and inconsequential it may be in the grander scheme of things, can be a bittersweet experience: arriving at a destination only to realise it was the getting there that was the thing.
Mind you, that phase of my Parker collecting might be done, but I expect I'll still be picking up intriguing editions of the Parkers as and when I see them; after all, these days, in a way as a consequence of the Allison & Busby Parker collecting quest, I have to have a ready supply of material for the Violent World of Parker blog as well as for Existential Ennui. And though my hardback Richard Stark shelf is a handsome thing to behold:
There are still a few hardback Parkers I'd like to get my clammy mitts on (and doubtless there are other, non-Parker Westlake Scores still to be had). So I suppose in a wider sense it's not really the end at all. The quest – and the chronicle – continues...

AEI Biennial Forum
The AEI Forum program will bring together students, faculty, and industry leaders, including structural, mechanical, electrical engineers, construction management professionals, and architects to focus on “The IMPACT of the Integrated Building,” with lectures, presentations, and events.
According to Leffi Cewe-Malloy, an architectural engineering instructor at WPI and the conference chair, the premise of the forum is to closely link students from leading U.S. institutions with practicing professionals. The conference’s new forum format gives professionals and students equal opportunities to network and attend all sessions. This format will occur every other year and the AEI will host its traditional, technical industry conference in the intervening years.
The blended forum format fosters excitement and opportunities for veteran professionals, industry leaders, academic experts, and students who are beginning their careers, says Cewe-Malloy. While the students will have the chance to network and listen to industry leaders, the professionals will also get a rare opportunity to see what the next crop of architectural engineers is doing. There will be student competition presentations, lectures, professional project award presentations, a technical tour of WPI’s Fire Science Laboratories, smaller breakout sessions, and an awards banquet. In addition to the eight AEI Build keynote lecturers, the lunch keynote speaker for this year’s forum is Gordon Gill, design partner of Chicago-based Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture LLP, whose designs range from some of the world’s tallest buildings to smaller, sustainable communities.
On Thursday, March 31, finalist teams of students will present their solution to the yearly AEI student design competition. According to the ASCE’s AEI student competition website, this year’s teams are challenged “to address the design, integration, and construction issues that must be considered for a 17-story mixed-use office building located on Boylston Street in Boston, Massachusetts. The submittals should address the construction, design issues, and life cycle cost concepts related to a high performance building.”
According to Cewe-Malloy, students are asked to design a building that takes all of the engineering systems, such as structures, HVAC, plumbing, lighting, and architecture into consideration to design an integrated, sustainable building using innovative and original solutions. “Sustainability is a very important challenge,” she says.
The resulting presentations, says Cewe-Malloy are nothing short of awe inspiring. “The student competition presentations are a showcase of the professional and highly qualified architectural engineers who are going to be entering the workforce soon,” she says. “The work they are doing is innovative and on target.”
The second day of the event focuses on the AEI’s Build Initiative, with eight keynote lecturers from around the United States, says Cewe-Malloy. Speakers from several engineering disciplines will address the initiative’s eight different categories: deliver, enclose, learn, modular, perform, resilient, secure, and sustain.
Niklas Vigener, senior principal and head of building technology at Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH) will address the enclosure category, and says opportunities like those at this forum are invaluable. “For practitioners, students, and academics,” he says, “it is a circle of professionals and future professionals who share your own agenda and passion for making buildings work and making buildings better, greener, and more sustainable. It’s where we get great ideas for the development of the practice.”
Cewe-Malloy is pleased to bring the AEI conference to WPI, as the architectural program here is just a few years old, and the only one in New England. “Our architectural engineering program is fairly new, but it is rigorous and highly regarded in the academic community,” she says. “This conference will show a national audience what WPI’s program has to offer.”
Members of the WPI community are encouraged to register for the conference and non-registered participants are invited to sit in on student competition presentations or lectures by the keynote industry professionals.


Column: Additional supply is key to housing woes
My name is Joe Hoffmann. I’ve lived in Bloomington since 1986, and for most of that time, I’ve served as a citizen volunteer on the city’s plan commission. In that role, I have tried my best to help the city grow in a manner that would preserve and enhance the many qualities that make Bloomington so special.
Last Friday, the H-T published a letter to the editor stating that I am a principal in a land development company called Pavilion. That is a falsehood. I am not, nor have I ever been, involved in any kind of land development company.
All letter writers are certainly entitled to their own opinions. But they have no right to report false facts. A simple fact check would have caught this, but I suppose all of the recent changes at the H-T have made it hard to stay on top of such things.
On the more general topic of the letter, I would be delighted to discuss with anyone — including the letter writer — the subject of student apartments and how they affect the affordability of rental housing in Bloomington.
Bloomington has suffered for many years from a lack of both rental and owner-occupied affordable housing. But why? And what can we do about it?
The core of the rental affordability problem is that Bloomington simply has too much demand for rental housing — from both students and nonstudents — and not enough supply. It is the downside of our desirability as a place to live.
Despite all of the new student apartment complexes that have been built near downtown and the IU campus, our supply of apartments has not kept pace with the ever-growing demand. That’s why the occupancy rate for rental housing in Bloomington remains near the very top of the state, at about 95%. As long as the demand continues to exceed the supply, rents will continue to go up. That’s how supply and demand works.
The only way to reverse this unfortunate trend — short of cutting off demand by erecting an impenetrable wall around Bloomington — is to build enough apartments to exceed the demand. And student apartments, for better or for worse, are the kind of apartments that private developers currently are most eager to build.
New student apartments aren’t going to be affordable apartments. And adding lots of them to our supply of rental housing won’t immediately improve our affordability problem. But gradually, over time, higher vacancy rates will force landlords to compete for tenants — including by lowering rents, especially for older properties. Some properties, especially those farther from campus, will transition from exclusively student rentals to a healthier mix that includes young professionals, families and seniors. A recent study of four Midwestern college towns found substantial evidence of just such effects.
The housing affordability problem is daunting, and requires a multifaceted approach. The city should continue its recent efforts to build affordable housing on city-controlled land, provide tax and other incentives for affordable housing, and encourage private developers to make voluntary commitments to affordable housing. The modest revival of so-called “missing middle” housing types, such as duplexes and small-group homes, may also help — but only if it can be done without incentivizing tear-downs of existing homes, or otherwise adversely affecting stable single-family neighborhoods.
These worthy efforts, however, cannot alone solve the housing affordability problem. We need to do something we’ve never seriously tried before: Add enough new apartments — in carefully chosen locations, especially near campus, where potential negative secondary impacts on the community can be reasonably absorbed and managed — to significantly reduce our longstanding sky-high occupancy rates.
If we don’t, then we will continue to fight a losing battle on housing affordability.

Cook'n With Class Paris | Family Patisserie Class - PR Visit & Review
We were recently invited to attend the Cook'n With Class Paris family patisserie class. Read more about our absolutely delightful experience that we will never forget!
One of my favourite days out in Paris .. Ever
From start to finish, the Cook'n With Class Paris class was engaging, informative, and most importantly, delicious.
Cook'n With Class Paris have been offering French cooking classes in Paris since 2007. Chef Eric Fraudeau, creator of Cook’n With Class was the first French chef to offer French cooking classes in English at the time. All classes are taught by professional chefs eager to share their passion with visiting and local food enthusiasts.
The school is among the few which proposes classes to younger cooks and bakers providing 3 family cooking class options: Cuisine en Famille for the 9-15 year-olds and their parents, Macaron en Famille for our 6-12s, and Pâtisserie en Famille for 6-12s as well.
Cook'n With Class Paris is a cooking school based in the heart of Montmartre, a historic neighborhood in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, France. The school is located at 6 Rue Baudelique, Paris, 75018. The location is easily accessible by public transportation, making it a convenient choice for visitors to Paris who are interested in taking cooking classes or exploring the local food culture.
Firstly, our instructor, Chef Christian, was incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, making sure we all understood the techniques and steps involved in creating each of the four desserts we were making: Crème Brûlée, Tarte Fine de Saison, Chocolate Tea Cake, and Eiffel Tower Cookie. He was patient and attentive, answering all of our questions and providing helpful tips along the way.
The atmosphere of the class was warm and welcoming, making it easy to interact with the other participants and share our experiences. It was a true family affair, with children and adults working together to create the most delectable treats.
The Crème Brûlée was a standout for my family, with its creamy texture and caramelized sugar top. The Tarte Fine de Saison was a perfect showcase of seasonal pears, with a buttery crust and a tangy filling that perfectly balanced the sweetness of the fruits. The Chocolate Tea Cake was a decadent treat that satisfied our sweet tooth, and the Eiffel Tower Cookie was a charming and whimsical touch that added to the fun atmosphere of the class.
Cook'n With Class Paris uses high-quality, fresh ingredients in their cooking classes. The school emphasizes the importance of using fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients in their recipes, and they source their ingredients from reputable suppliers and markets in Paris. The school also offers classes that focus on specific ingredients, such as chocolate, cheese, or wine, which highlight the importance of quality ingredients in achieving the best flavors and textures.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Cook'n With Class Paris family patisserie class to anyone looking for a fun and educational activity that results in some seriously delicious desserts. The instructors are top-notch, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the desserts are simply unforgettable. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
Cook'n With Class Paris offers a range of cooking classes and experiences at different price points to accommodate different budgets.

Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, we have explored for oil all over the world, in order to keep up with the ever-growing demand for gasoline and diesel fuel that powers the global infrastructure. We are happy to inform you that the electric vehicle is constantly being improved and developed to provide clean energy with zero emissions.
Governments around the world realise the importance of the electric vehicle and are therefore encouraging private investment both in R&D and the manufacture of EVs. In Thailand, there is a corporation by the name of UGO, which is committed to developing EVs for a wide range of Thai industries.
The Hospitality Sector
Electric shuttle vehicles play a major role in transporting people in resorts and real estate developments, where potential clients can be ferried to view plots of land or finished properties. The electric vehicle is ideal because it can simply be plugged in when not in use and there’s very little maintenance when compared to a petrol engine vehicle. Click here for tips when driving in the rain, which can be very dangerous.
Golf & Country Clubs
Luxurious gold courses have a large fleet on EVs, used as gold carts and as people-carriers; every single golf course in Thailand utilises electric golf carts, which saves the players from having to walk around 5 miles to play 18 holes. There would be a few EV charging points where multiple carts can be charged at one time, plus these vehicles are very easy to maintain, not having a complex engine.
It won’t be long before we see EVs replacing buses and coaches and with great developments with lithium-iron batteries, these vehicles can travel longer distances between charging. The Thai government is already negotiating with major EV manufacturers regarding EV public transport and we can expect to EV buses in every city in the coming years.
The EV is widely used at airports around the world, taking passengers and emergency staff to locations within the airport. Passengers with disabilities are ferried to their gate by one of the many EVs you see parked around the airport; the flight crew, for example, are often ferried to the aircraft when a crew change is required, plus the ground staff use EVs to carry out repairs and maintenance on the runways. EVs do not pollute the atmosphere and with so many vehicles in one place, electric power is the best option.
The real estate developer uses EVs to take potential investors to look at developments; there might be as many as 200 properties inside a gated community and the developer would have a fleet of electric people-carriers, all ready and waiting to take people to their destination. If you would like to view a range of EVs, search online for a manufacturer and explore the different models they have on offer.
Here is an informative article that outlines the Thai government’s policies on electric vehicles that demonstrated a desire to transform the infrastructure using clean energy. Thailand is leading the way with electric vehicles and you will continue to see more EVs on the roads.

Caicedo is a transfer target for a number of Premier League clubs after an excellent season at Brighton, with the 21-year-old impressing as the Seagulls secured a top-six finish and Europa League qualification.
Arsenal saw an approach turned down for the Ecuador international during the January transfer window and are expected to renew their interest in Caicedo this summer, but face competition from Chelsea and Manchester United.
The Gunners want to add Caicedo to their midfield options alongside West Ham captain Declan Rice, with Mikel Arteta’s side reportedly closing in on a club-record agreement for the latter.
The Athletic are reporting that Arsenal view Manchester United as the biggest threat to their hopes of signing Caicedo, who ranked second in the Premier League for both tackles and interceptions during the 2022/23 campaign.
Chelsea are keen on a deal and expressed interest in Caicedo in January, but the west Londoners are without European football for next season and the club’s ability to make big-money signings will be dictated by outgoings in the upcoming transfer window.
Brighton value Caicedo at around £70m and Roberto De Zerbi suggested an exit was likely following the conclusion of the Premier League campaign.

(WOMENSENEWS)– When the Supreme Court hears arguments on March 4 in King v. Burwell women will have a lot riding on this case concerning the Affordable Care Act. Just as women gained so much from the passage and implementation of the ACA, they stand to lose big as well.
The high court will determine whether individuals and families who purchase insurance from federally-facilitated health insurance marketplaces can continue to receive financial help–in the form of tax credits–with their health insurance premiums, or if the tax credits are only available in states that opted to run their own marketplaces. The justices’ decision will come by early summer.
It will have a significant impact on the nearly 3 million women who are enrolled in health insurance through the federal marketplaces. In fact, the majority of new enrollees in these marketplaces are women.
The tax credits not only make health insurance more affordable, they are essential to making the ACA work for everyone. The tax credits are part of the law’s three-legged stool of affordability, access to coverage and individual responsibility. When you eliminate one of the legs, the law falls apart, putting women at risk of going back to the bad old days.
Opponents of the law know how critical tax credits are to making the law work. That is why they have targeted eligibility for tax credits in this lawsuit and believe they have found a soft spot in how the law describes individuals who are eligible for these credits.
Potential ACA Unravelling
But the Affordable Care Act is perfectly clear: All Americans who purchase coverage through a health insurance marketplace, and meet other key criteria, can receive this help to lower their health insurance premiums. This could not be more important, particularly for women. If people no longer have access to tax credits to make coverage affordable, the insurance market could quickly destabilize and unravel the ACA’s hard-won insurance reforms.
First, without the tax credits to lower the costs of premiums, coverage becomes prohibitively expensive.
Many people would then qualify for a hardship exemption; meaning they are no longer legally required to have health insurance because it costs more than 8 percent of their income.
Meanwhile, people who really need health coverage–older Americans, individuals with complex conditions and people with chronic diseases–would stay in the market. Health plans would be largely covering people who really need health care services, so they couldn’t spread the financial risk across healthy and sick enrollees–leading to even higher premiums.
At that point, the health insurance market would be so disrupted that other parts of the law–the ban on pre-existing condition exclusions, the end of gender rating, benefit improvements and other reforms–would be up for grabs, too.
The ACA is one of the biggest advancements for women’s health in a generation.
Prior to this historic law, women who wanted to purchase insurance in the individual market were routinely denied coverage because they had "preexisting conditions" such as pregnancy, a cesarean delivery or because they were survivors of domestic violence–in practice, just being a woman was a preexisting condition. When women were offered a plan, it lacked coverage for essential services such as prescription drugs and maternity care, and insurance plans often charged women more than men, a practice known as "gender rating."
A Supreme Court decision that has the effect of eliminating tax credits could result in millions of Americans becoming uninsured and could leave women and their families worse off than before the law.

Beauty and the Mustache by Penny Reid
Knitting in the City #4
August 28, 2014
Genre: Contemporary Romance 18+
(Contains: sexual references and sex)
Source: eARC for Honest review
This is a full-length novel, can be read as a standalone, and is the fourth book in the 'Knitting in the City' series.My Review:
There are three things you need to know about Ashley Winston: 1) She has six brothers and they all have beards, 2) She is a reader, and 3) She knows how to knit.
Former beauty queen, Ashley Winston’s preferred coping strategy is escapism. She escaped her Tennessee small town, loathsome father, and six brothers eight years ago. Now she escapes life daily via her Amazon kindle one-click addiction. However, when a family tragedy forces her to return home, Ashley can’t escape the notice of Drew Runous— local Game Warden, bear wrestler, philosopher, and everyone’s favorite guy. Drew’s irksome philosophizing in particular makes Ashley want to run for the skyscrapers, especially since he can’t seem to keep his exasperating opinions— or his soulful poetry, steadfast support, and delightful hands— to himself. Pretty soon the girl who wanted nothing more than the escape of the big city finds she’s lost her heart in small town Tennessee.
|Penny Reid has done it again! Beauty and the Mustache has it all, and here's just a hint:|
1. BEAUTY: Yes, it's in the title. But I'm not talking about beautiful people, though you might say they are. I'm talking about beautiful words, beautiful writing, beautiful moments that steal your breath and grab your heart. There are so many layers to this story: family heartbreak and rebuilding, coping with tragedy, trust and hope, forgiveness, vulnerability, new love and hope, and more. Each layer and ea...more Penny Reid has done it again! Beauty and the Mustache has it all, and here's just a hint:
1. BEAUTY: Yes, it's in the title. But I'm not talking about beautiful people, though you might say they are. I'm talking about beautiful words, beautiful writing, beautiful moments that steal your breath and grab your heart. There are so many layers to this story: family heartbreak and rebuilding, coping with tragedy, trust and hope, forgiveness, vulnerability, new love and hope, and more. Each layer and each person is important and they are beautifully interwoven into the fabric and seams of this story. The story itself, the heartache and the joy, all of it, was a treat. Though, just because it's a beautiful story, doesn't mean Penny's trademark awkward situations and humor hasn't also been infused. Let's just say with six bearded brothers, and Sandra, something's bound to happen.
2. MUSTACHES: And beards. Hairy brothers and philosophers alike. There is incredible character development. From the oh so swoony Drew, to the half dozen Winston siblings, who each has a standout personality of his own, I was in love with the bearded goodness. (Nietzsche's 'stache was good for banter, not so much for looks.) These men are funny, strong, sensitive, firm, intelligent, determined, and hot. I vote for a Winston brother spin-off series! Beyond the menfolk, our heroine Ashley is all kinds of fire and sass, but also sweetness, heart, and a mix of humility as she faces so much in this story. I loved getting to know her. And let's not forget about the old friends who offer their support, their banter, their opinions, their humor, their private jets, their private jokes, and their love.
3. ROMANCE: Yes, I'm saving the best for last. This is full of romance! Drew's romance. Because Drew is all kinds of subtle gestures, sensitive insights, and soft considerations. But he's also all man. Manly man. Sexy man. But he also writes poetry. Sexy, romantic, bearded, woodsy, sensitive, strong, deep, and poetic. Penny managed to make all these qualities in one man completely work. And while Ashley had so very much to deal with, Drew was ever the strong presence, yet not overtaking the enormity of what Ashley and her brood were facing. (Though Drew's poetry was epically swoontastic and scene-stealing.) Watching the romantic gestures and natural progression of their love story was so beautiful and genuine and touching. I absolutely loved Drew and Ashley's story.
Bottomline, I absolutely loved Beauty and the Mustache! Penny continues to outdo herself, and I have once again found a favorite to add to my shelf and my to-read-again-and-again pile. If this is your first Penny Reid book, you are in for a real treat. Penny is a favorite of mine, and I've yet to be disappointed by her amazing writing. If you've been following this series, then prepare yourself for a new level of awesomeness. If you have not been following this series, Beauty and the Mustache can be read as a standalone. It is a complete story by itself. And then you'll have to go back and read the rest of the series because you won't be able to stop yourself.
Ashley's Bearded Brothers!

Hockey Day in Canada has become an NHL tradition, although I'm not sure if has become an NHL fan's tradition yet. Will you be playing the great game of hockey today? Maybe you'll be in the stands watching your son, daughter, nephew or niece or maybe you'll strap on the blades and play shinny with your buddies. I love the idea of Hockey Day in Canada, I'm just not sure if it is more about watching NHLers than actually playing it yourself?
Thrity of us will be playing shinny outdoors at Saikers Acres, the home pf the World's (2nd) Longest game (record was recently broken by a group, indoors though) and I'm sure the fellas will be remembering the days when we were decent and could go up and down the ice more than once without needing gasping for air.
For me, skating on the outdoor rink or the pond was always the best hockey. There was no ref, no "official" rules and you could play for hours. It would be great if the Sens and Oilers mirrored the Hawks/Oilers game from last week, and played some pond hockey today, but I doubt we'll see that.
February 11 2012 08:05AM
Over several decades, I've known many special "hockey days" in Canada. Some of those memories are wonderful, others bittersweet and some of them forgotten by those old enough and unknown to the next generations.

Vivo Flagship with Samsung E5 Luminous Material Display
In the aspect of the smartphone display, Samsung’s strength is very strong. Many manufacturers are also because they can get the first time Samsung outsourcing the best screen and publicity at the launch, such as the E4 luminous material earlier this year, the second half of the flagship machine, the screen will continue to upgrade.
This morning’s news, according to well-known Weibo blogger Digital Chat Station (deleted post) brought news that Vivo has two latest flagships using the screen are Samsung’s latest E5 luminous material, and 2K resolution high refresh rate flexible screen, the most critical thing is that it is also likely to be the first, which will be followed by Redmi’s K50 Series.
According to Vivo’s product line, the X70 series with this latest screen is certainly a nail-biting thing, the other flagship, according to the timeline is likely to be released next month iQOO 8 series, but this screen should only be used in higher versions of iQOO 8 Pro, after all, the cost is still there, and the current quality of Samsung’s E4 is still enough to use.
Samsung E5 luminous material display, compared to E4 has a higher excitation brightness, the same support native 10bit color, compared to E4 material E5 screen power consumption will be lower. In addition to a better screen, both phones will be equipped with Snapdragon 888 Plus processor to ensure that users are worry-free in the use of performance.

Willingness-To-Pay for Protecting Endangered Environments The Case of Nechsar National Park
"In this study, it was tried to estimate people’s willingness-to-pay to protect the park and identify its determinants.The study used dichotomous choice contingent valuation method. Using a bivariate probit model, it was found that the local community is willing to protect the park by contributing either in terms of money or labour. It was also found that the respondents’ mean willingness-to-pay is significantly influenced by the nature of their primary activity, dependency ratio and distance from the park. However, age, gender and the level of education of the respondents were found to be insignificant."

Brain development is delayed in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Is attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) due to a delay in brain development or the result of complete deviation from typical development? In the current issue of Biological Psychiatry, Dr. Philip Shaw and colleagues present evidence for delay based on a study by the National Institutes of Health.
The cerebral cortex is the folded gray tissue that makes up the outermost portion of the brain, covering the brain's inner structures. This tissue has left and right hemispheres and is divided into lobes. Each lobe performs specific and vitally important functions, including attention, thought, language, and sensory processing.
Two dimensions of this structure are cortical thickness and cortical surface area, both of which mature during childhood as part of the normal developmental process. This group of scientists had previously found that the thickening process is delayed in children diagnosed with ADHD. So in this study, they set out to measure whether surface area development is similarly delayed.
They recruited 234 children with ADHD and 231 typically developing children and scanned each up to 4 times. The first scan was taken at about age 10, and the final scan was around age 17. Using advanced neuroimaging technology, they were able to map the trajectories of surface area development at over 80,000 points across the brain.
They found that the development of the cortical surface is delayed in frontal brain regions in children with ADHD. For example, the typically developing children attained 50% peak area in the right prefrontal cortex at a mean age of 12.7 years, whereas the ADHD children didn't reach this peak until 14.6 years of age.
"As other components of cortical development are also delayed, this suggests there is a global delay in ADHD in brain regions important for the control of action and attention," said Dr. Shaw, a clinician studying ADHD at the National Institute of Mental Health and first author of this study.
"These data highlight the importance of longitudinal approaches to brain structure," commented Dr. John Krystal, Editor of Biological Psychiatry. "Seeing a lag in brain development, we now need to try to understand the causes of this developmental delay in ADHD."
Dr Shaw agrees, adding that this finding "guides us to search for genes that control the timing of brain development in the disorder, opening up new targets for treatment."
Additional work expanding these measures into adulthood will also be important. Such data would help determine whether or when a degree of normalization occurs, or if these delays translate into long-lasting cortical deficits.
More information: The article is "Development of Cortical Surface Area and Gyrification in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder" by Philip Shaw, Meaghan Malek, Bethany Watson, Wendy Sharp, Alan Evans, and Deanna Greenstein ( doi: 10.1016/j.biopsych.2012.01.031 ). The article appears in Biological Psychiatry, Volume 72, Issue 3 (August 1, 2012).

Part of our work on this project involves gathering images of promenades and presenting them. This seemingly uncomplicated activity runs into trouble when confronted with the legacies of decades of ‘authoritative’ social science research. How will we select these images? How do we find them? How ‘representative’ are they? What can they tell us about the research process and its inherent qualitative insecurity?
In putting together these collections of photos and quotations we are working within a paradigm of ‘collecting’ and using parataxical methods (see this post) to attempt to produce work that produces dialectical images – constellations of material that allow us to grasp the correspondences between our own time and the objects of history. Eagleton puts this into the context of knowledge production, helping us to understand our own use of these methods:
“A constellatory epistemology sets its face against the Cartesian or Kantian moment of subjectivity, less concerned to ‘posses’ the phenomenon than to liberate it into its own sensuous being and preserve its disparate elements in all their irreducible heterogeneity…what this method then delivers is a kind of poetic or novelistic sociology in which the whole seems to consist of nothing but a dense tessellation of graphic images; and to that extent it represents an aesthetic mode of social enquiry.” (1990: 229-330)
The tessellation of images are not chosen at random by Benjamin within this aesthetic enquiry, they are collected. There are no limits to the pool from which these images are fished and the collector should seek to be indiscriminate in his search:
“A chronicler who recites events without distinguishing between major and minor ones acts in accordance with the following truth: nothing that has ever happened should be regarded as lost for history.” (Benjamin 1999: 246)
Collectors are people with a ‘tactical instinct’ (ibid:64), a difficult argument to make in the academy where the death of the author has never produced the inevitable death of the researcher, and the vitality of researcher is asserted by their mastery of academic epistemologies. In order to unpack this idea of instinct we need to work through Benjamin’s instinctive assemblage of materials and observations on collecting, found in convolute H of the Arcades Project.
Collecting for Benjamin is at once an act of separation and of union; selecting objects from a diverse field in order to place them together with objects of a similar kind (H1a, 2). Objects brought together in this manner form collections. These collections are the fruit of the work of the collector, the individual who is able to ‘pursue and encounter’ objects and to present them in our space, not the space of their origin. Benjamin is clear (H2, 7; H2a, 1) that to present objects in this way is not to divorce them fundamentally from their functional relations, that is, their social existence and their connection to production, but on the contrary to select objects and to arrange them in a way that brings their social being into a constellation with our own. In effect, the collected object is able to crystallise its social relations and present them to us afresh. The collector then, “takes up the struggle against dispersion” (H4a, 1), the confusion in which the world presents itself to us, and attempts to piece together a patchwork of objects that, taken together, make order out of chaos.
“We construct here an alarm clock that rouses the kitsch of the previous century to ‘assembly’” (H1a,2)
Benjamin often describes collectors in an almost mystical language, as ‘interpreters of fate’ who can form a ‘magic encyclopaedia, a world order’. Equally often, Benjamin offers explanations of how this apparently mystical knowledge might be grounded in material concerns:
“We need only recall what importance a particular collector attaches not only to his object but also to its entire past, whether this concerns the origin and objective character of the thing or the details of its ostensibly external history: previous owners, price of purchase, current value and so on.” (H2,7; H2a,1)
This apparent dichotomy in Benjamin’s conception of the collector can only be resolved dialectically in the practice of assembling a collection. In creating and maintaining the illusion of an almost theological coherence between seemingly disparate objects and historical periods, the collector must methodically and systematically go about her work, drawing on her expert knowledge within a broader emancipatory project of creating a dream-like constellation of objects and ideas in order to awaken us from the dream-like state of contemporary, phantasmagorical capitalism . For more on this point, read this post.
For us, attempting to produce convolute-style material and to develop the methods of the Arcades Project, this analysis of collecting affirms rather than contradicts the rigorous methodologies of the contemporary social sciences, but encourages an eclecticism and aesthetic perspective in the presentation of our work. The research ‘process’ that Benjamin describes here is closest to ethnography, in which the general changes in the perspective of the researcher allow her to continuously refine and extend her analysis.

Man, child escape with only minor injuries after crash
Saturday, July 14, 2012
LEBANON, Maine — A man and child escaped with only minor injuries after the vehicle they were riding Friday afternoon went off Upper Cross Road near Grey Stone Lane and continued in a ditch for about 100 feet striking several trees and rocks before coming to rest on top of some stones.
Lebanon Rescue, the York County Sheriff's Department and the Lebanon Fire Department responded to a motor vehicle accident that was reported around 4:10 p.m.
"When rescue crews arrived on scene, they located a 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser that had left the roadway," Assistant Lebanon Rescue Chief Jason Cole said. "The driver and a small child in the car were evaluated by Lebanon Rescue personnel on scene for minor injuries but did not require transport to the hospital."
The PT Cruiser was destroyed in the accident. The driver was wearing his seat belt and the vehicle airbags deployed. The child was in a proper toddler child seat. The vehicle was towed from the scene.
The driver was a 25-year-old man from Shapleigh; the 2-year-old girl was also from Shapleigh.
The road was closed for about 20 minutes while the wrecker removed the vehicle from the trees.
Two ambulances from Lebanon Rescue Department and an engine from Lebanon Fire responded to the scene.
The accident is under investigation by Deputy Nelson of the York County Sheriff's Department.
Emergency crews were on scene until 5 p.m.

NAUGATUCK — With raised right hands and oaths to uphold their duties to the country and the borough, Taylor Field and Anthony Mistretta on last Friday joined the Naugatuck Police Department.
“I’m excited, nervous,” said Field, 24, of Seymour. “I just have a ton of emotions running through my body right now.”
Mayor Robert Mezzo swore the two in Friday as the department’s newest officers as family, friends and top police brass looked on.
“You’re entering a fantastic police force, from top to bottom,” Mezzo told them.
Counting Field and Mistretta, the department has hired seven new officers this year and expects to hire at least two more, Deputy Chief Joshua Bernegger said.
The candidates are being selected from a list of 300 applicants and must pass oral, written, physical, psychological and polygraph tests, Bernegger said. They were also interviewed by the Police Commission.
The two will spend about six months at the state police academy before coming back to the borough for another 10 to 12 weeks of field training. They will then become full-fledged patrolmen.
“Society places high expectations on their public service officials,” Bernegger said, adding he thought Field and Mistretta were “top quality.”
Before joining the police force, Field was stationed in Hawaii as a member of the Marine Corps. As he starts his new job, he will continue his studies at Western Connecticut State University.
“I just wanted to help people and make the community feel safer,” Field said.
Mistretta, 23, lives in New Milford and has worked as a Comcast technician. He got a bachelor’s degree in criminology from Central Connecticut State University with an eye toward becoming a police officer.
“It’s just something I always wanted to do,” Mistretta said. “I like the teamwork of a police department, doing something better, serving a higher purpose.”
Many new hires are replacing patrolmen who took the borough’s early retirement deal this year, or patrolmen who were promoted to replace retiring officers. The department last month promoted three patrolmen to sergeants, two sergeants to lieutenants and one lieutenant to captain.
The early retirements allowed officers who had worked in the department for at least 20 years to retire with pensions calculated as if they had worked 25 years. In exchange, all new hires are receiving defined contribution pension plans similar to 401(k)s.


10 stunning Essex walks to enjoy this autumn
As unbelievable as it might seem, autumn has arrived. With the longer nights and darker mornings comes the opportunity to enjoy Britain’s countryside at its most spectacular, as leaves turn from green to rich gold, copper and bronze colours.
As temperatures drop, there’s nothing better than wrapping up warm and venturing out for a walk in the glorious autumn landscape to escape from it all. And, where better to do it than Essex, which has some stunning locations offering beautiful landscapes as well as an abundance of wildlife?
Read on to discover 10 great walks to enjoy in the county this autumn.
1. Thorndon Country Park
The park provides the opportunity to enjoy wonderful walks through ancient woodlands. With more than 500 acres of land, there are plenty of walking routes to enjoy whether you want a short stroll or a long walk. Both provide plenty of wildlife to see, including birds that can be spotted around Childerditch Pond. You could also visit the park’s Nature Discovery Centre, which offers an education room and activities.
2. Gernon Bushes Nature Reserve
There is plenty to see within these ancient woodlands, which have ponds, rare marsh plants and flowers. Its paths pass former gravel works that have been transformed into natural bogs, and from there you can spot rare plant species including marsh fern, lady fern, bogbean, marsh valerian, and the pink ragged-robin.
3. Belfairs Woodland
A third of this beautiful 1160 acre location is woodland, some of which is more than 1,000 years old – making it the earliest woodland recorded in Essex. As you walk through the woodland, you’ll see several species of flora and fauna, including several nationally threatened species. You may also spot wildlife such as the dormouse and the great spotted woodpecker.
4. Thameside Nature Park
As you walk through the park, you could see a variety of wildlife including short-eared owls and water voles. You could also enjoy splendid views across the Thames Estuary and visit the Nature Discovery Centre with café. The 120-acre site was once a landfill site but has now been “given back to nature”, providing a habitat for coastal and wetland wildlife, grassland fauna and flora.
5. Epping Forest
Spanning more than 8,000 acres, this green oasis offers nine waymarked circular trails that you can make the most of this autumn. Whether you’re looking for an easy stroll or a challenging walk, there’s plenty to choose from. Because much of the forest is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation, there is plenty of wildlife to enjoy, including deer, newts and various birds.
6. Aubrey Buxton Nature Reserve
This beautiful nature reserve is spectacular during autumn. Venture through the ancient woodland, flower meadows or leafy lanes, and you could see a variety of birds including nuthatch, owls and three species of woodpecker. There are also three main ponds, thought to be around 200 years old, where you may see a rare great crested newt coming up for air.
7. Wivenhoe Trail
This 10-mile route runs along the side of the River Colne from The Hythe to Wivenhoe. Starting at Wivenhoe Quay, the walk offers unrivalled views of the river’s salt marshes and mud creeks. Watch oystercatchers, terns and little ringed plovers as they dip and dance over the natural footpath.
8. Norsey Woods
This lovely woodland is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a nature reserve. It is divided by rides and pathways, many of which are thought to date back to the Iron Age. From these you may be able to spot the wood’s wide variety of animals and plants, while enjoying the sounds and scents from the forest floor.
9. The Naze Centre
If you’re looking for a coastal walk this autumn, this is one you should try. With its various walks alongside a number of habitats, you may spot animals and birds including barn owls hunting in the grassland. You may also see the dark-bellied brent geese, sedge warblers, and whitethroat that use the Naze as part of their migration.
10. Hanningfield Reservoir
This is a fantastic place to visit if you want to see wildlife while on a walk. Its 870-acre nature reserve has mature woodlands and wild meadows, making it the perfect place to get away from it all and enjoy some time with nature. There is a labyrinth of foot trails through ancient oaks and a myriad of bird huts, from where you can watch the swallows and swifts.
