Lesser known stops along Australia's East Coast by guest writer and Aussie fan Matt Keen. The route up (or down) the Australian East coast is THE most travelled back packer route in the world, or so my Travel agent told me sitting in rainy London many months ago now. Being such an audacious claim I'm not going to put my head on the line and endorse this, but there's no mistaking it as a mecca of travel for backpackers, flashpackers, career breakers and wandering souls. I'm sure there's been some fancy number crunching somewhere hidden in the World Wide Web that could answer this for us, but as with many well-trodden and beaten travel routes worldwide we are all well versed in the must-see locations before we set off.
Here rises the problem that many travellers, particularly first timers (as I was in this case) encounter when they leave their first destination; where can I fill in the gaps between said must-see stops and experience a little of the real place? Now obviously there's a plethora of published travel guides out there that document extensively countries worldwide, but in today's post smart phone, app bristling world we want real information for real travellers, and not everyone's budget stretches to expensive books in a packed destination itinerary.
Not what this post is about
So starting off, I'm going to disregard the following places (don't get me wrong, STILL see these places and I had a great time in each one, but I'm sure most of you have heard of them):
- Sydney
- Byron Bay
- Brisbane
- Cairns
I'm also discounting these, which perhaps require a minimal background knowledge of Australia:
- Airlie Beach – Launching off spot for most Whitsunday Island Trips
- Hervey Bay – Kicking off point for trips to Frazer Island
- Surfers Paradise – Heavily built up city along a vast stretch of beach
- 1770 / Agnes Water – Cooks Landing Point in Australia
You may be thinking that's a lot of destinations, why do I need more stop offs? Well trust me, Australia's BIG. Everyone knows this, but if like me you come from a tiny rock like England, having a grasp of the distances involved is something only a mega trip like 4000 odd KMs up the East coast of Australia will teach you. Plus waking up to glorious beaches and surf every day, Australia is a country you may want to only schedule a maximum of half a day's driving for at one time.
Our East Coast Itinerary ….. 2 travellers, 1 hired campervan, an already exhausted budget, 2 second hand surf boards. We flew from London to Sydney and then used Cheapflights.com.au to fly around the rest of Australia (it's so huge this is easily the best way to get around).
Stop off 1 – Newcastle
Newcastle serves as a brilliant first stop off when leaving Sydney. Heavy traffic and an increasingly erratic Sat Nav meant it took longer than we thought to leave the city, so the close proximity of Newcastle suited us nicely. Being under 200kms away it also means that you can spend an extra morning in Sydney to see any remaining sites or hit the shops in preparation for your epic journey north.
Due to leaving in the afternoon, we arrived in Newcastle in time for an evening out. This was all the motivation we needed, and Newcastle delivered brilliantly. Much of what Newcastle has to offer follows along the sea front, and therefore a night out can involve strolling from restaurant to bar following the crowd. The bars and clubs we encountered were also refreshingly unique and not too pretentious which is always great considering the clothes most backpackers have screwed up in their bags.
The beaches in Newcastle East are fairly small and uncrowded, they won't be the most amazing you encounter in Oz but this means they offer a more laid back and less tourist orientated affair. There are 8 in total, which means that you have all the amenities of a city centre surrounded by easy access to beaches.
Stop off 2 – Port Macquarie
This is another stop off before the likes of Brisbane and Byron Bay. We accessed Port Macquarie down a small, winding road and the level of development is low rise and low key. This allows you to enjoy the landscape, primarily taking in the numerous tiny picturesque beaches and the larger Light House Beach. There's still a decent provision of amenities, we visited the fairly large cinema and there wasn't a lack of places to eat.
The biggest pull here though would have to be the range of beaches they have. There are several small rocky coves running along one of the main streets (Pacific Drive) with some accessed down steep cliff roads. These offer great surfing opportunities, particularly for beginners, and combined with the massive Lighthouse beach there truly is a great beaching experience to be had. We spent one of our days surfing Lighthouse beach, which due to its vast size and the small population of Port Macquarie meant we had plenty of space. Following this, we were warned by a local that it is known as sometimes having fairly strong rip currents and is apparently visited by the odd shark, so maybe exercise some caution here. However, we were joined by a couple of families surfing so the words of one local should probably not be taking as the be all and end all for this particular beach.
Stop off 3 – Lennox Head
Admittedly, Lennox Head is close to Byron Bay and therefore a determined driver could carry onwards to the soulful surf locale. However, having been a near 500km drive already from Port Macquarie it may be that arriving in Byron Bay late in the evening looking for accommodation is the last thing on your mind. The additional bonus to this strategic spot is that a short journey to Byron Bay from here gives you the flexibility of getting a great days surfing in in Lennox Head before heading onwards with plenty of time to spare.
For those in the know, Lennox Head can deliver awesome surfing. Famous amongst surfers worldwide, 'The Point' is a significant stretch of headland that can create some epic breaks that are known for offering long rides in to shore. For beginners, the sheer length of the beach creates ample surfing spots allowing you to head away from the crowd.
Spending a couple of days here really showed us the great Aussie combination of small town beach life. Australians are famed for their active lifestyle, and the 'rush hour' surf times in the early morning and late afternoon/evening reveals the dedication many Aussies have for water sports. Having said this, with such a large open sandy beach even at these times you don't fell crowded, and the low levels of development along the beach front has left a nice open grassy embankment perfect for picnics and clumsily squeezing into your wetsuit.
Stop off 4 – Noosa Heads
Having now headed north of major East Coast urban destinations (Brisbane, Surfers paradise) many travellers up this route are looking for their final surfing destination. Noosa is known as one of the last places left to surf on the way to Cairns, and therefore a stop here can help you get rid of any lingering desires of perfecting your surfing technique. Unfortunately, as this was our first surfing trip 'perfection' was not in our vocabulary, but enjoyment certainly still was! Stopping here also afforded us an opportunity to offload our second hand surf boards and tap into some great backpacking culture.
The high street is typical of Aussie locations that thrive on the beach scene. Being the first or the last surfing destination depending on whether you're heading North or South, you can find many shops here aimed at backpackers. As we were heading north, we used this as an opportunity to offload our second hand surf boards. With plenty of surf shops this afforded us a reasonable amount of bargaining power, as Surf Shops in Australia are renowned for ripping backpackers off when they buy their boards to sell.
It's no coincidence Australia is such a magnet for backpackers. With all that it is known for offering, it is often the less thought of locations such as these that deliver some of your best travelling experiences. The East coast offers even more than I have covered here, which means you can easily tailor your trip along the coast to your own schedule and desires. Finding places you had not known about beforehand, or that aren't on everyone's travel itinerary, is often what great travelling is about.

Who inspires you to be a better person?
I am surrounded by them! Our first inspirations come from those closest to us. I have parents who inspire me to be selfless, love unconditionally and be persistent. Sisters who inspire me to keep an open mind, be understanding and kind. Friends who inspire me to be calm, patient and keep a good attitude. They all motivate me to be better to/for myself in order to project it for them and then on to everyone else.
If you could send a text message to the entire world, what would you say in 2 sentences?
We are all one race, the human race and we only have one home, the planet earth. It takes more energy to work against each other than it does to bridge the gap between our differences and work together in resolving the issues that impact humanity now and in the future.
What did you want to be when you were a kid?
My mom says I wanted to be a vet, but I've always wanted to be in fashion.
Who taught you how to cook? What was the first thing they taught you how to make?
My mother taught me how cook. I don't remember distinctly what the first thing was... but I was always involved in making desserts. Then I moved onto helping with cooking dinner for the family. She showed me how to follow recipes that we could barely read.
Why could you barely read them? She would get butter and oil on them and the ink would start to wear off.

If you were to move anywhere in world right now with no pressure or hesitation, where would it be?
Perhaps this is super cliché, but I would split my time between Paris and New York.
If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing?
I would totally be a painter!
What are your parent's best qualities?
My dad is driven to accomplish things and my mom is caring and empathetic.

Aviator Sunglasses India
Ray Ban was the first manufacturer to develop aviator sunglasses in 1937. They are characterized by dark, often reflective lenses having an area two or three times the area of the eye socket, and metal frames with wire temples which hook behind the ears. If there's one type of eyewear that has maintained its popularity all these years, it would be aviator sunglasses.
Aviator sunglasses were given their name due to their oblique teardrop shape, which matched those of the smoked-lens flying goggles which Ray-Ban was then selling to the Army and Navy. They were actually designed for use by the military men because military pilots found that sun and glare protection would be helpful to aid them during day missions.
These Ray Ban sunglasses are loved by both men and women. The contemporary models have polarized lenses, photochromic lenses incorporated in their design. The popular lens colors are black and brown although various colored lenses are available to match the taste of young adults. The aviator sunglasses are light weight glasses and so they use thin frames. The golden frame is very popular with Aviator sunglasses. Plastic frames are seldom used because they are not dynamic even though inexpensive.
As with other light weight eye wear, the Aviator sunglasses have polycarbonate plastic or glass lenses. These lenses serve the basic functionality of protecting the eyes by blocking most of the UV rays from the sun.
Since aviator sunglasses become a decidedly popular fashion accessory, and celebrities like Tom Cruise and Michael Jackson started wearing them, a lot of sunglasses brands have started designing and selling their own versions. The brand most associated with designer aviator sunglasses, however, would still be Ray-Ban. This particular company has been providing a number of style options to its customers, offering aviator sunglasses in different colors for the lens and the frames.
Designer aviator sunglasses are available costing Rs 1000, and some of newer, trendier ones can go as high as Rs 10000. However, those preferring to go the more practical route can easily purchase discount items available online and in some retail outlets.

Is this about to be the next big extreme sports craze? Already riotously popular in Australia where they were invented it is mooted that this will be the 2011 "must have" item in the USA and Europe.
It's taken Ausi by storm and now it looks set to go global.
The founder and head engineer John Karambalis says "the only noise you hear from the bike is when you are doing full speed, you need either a motorbike helmet or ear plugs for the wind noise".
Combining pedal and electric power, the mountain bikes are ideal for cross country, downhill, commuting, touring and patrol applications and are reported to only take 2 hours to charge from a normal power outlet. To cope with the speed, the bikes are fitted with heavy duty shocks and over sized brakes.
Hitting jumps and launching down ledges are done with ease due to the long travel suspension and purpose built geometries which give the bike incredible stability over off-road terrain.
The all-important question is, of course… how long does the charge last? Stealth Bikes website say that the estimates are "in the dirt – 40km; normal riding: 50km; efficient riding which includes pedalling: 60+km."
However, you must realise that it depends on the rider, terrain, wind conditions and how much you want to pedal. The faster you go, the quicker the battery will drain. Factors such as steep takeoffs, hills and headwinds will all play a part. A minimum range of approximately 40km (without pedalling) is achievable, but some smart riding, along with use of the gears and pedals will see this easily increase to 60+km. Pedalling does conserve battery life but does not directly recharge the batteries.
The bikes are water resistant so fine in the rain, but it is not advisable to take them for a swim.
John Karambalis is actually an Aerospace Systems Engineer so it is not surprising that two of his models are called Stealth Bomber and Stealth Fighter. The other euphemism for them is "the bikes on steroids"… They are fast, nimble and quiet.
This is not some sort of effeminate equivalent to a balls-out-for-Baghdad mountainbike – even twice champion Isle of Man TT Superbike Racer Cameron Donald was impressed, "there was no noise or hesitation; just instant acceleration from the motor, and suddenly I was travelling at speeds that no amount of pedalling could hope to keep up with".
You just might not be quite so superbly fit if you swap your MTB for one of these…
Thanks to StealthElectricBikes for the videos.

Just a few brief words from me today about a man whom much will be said and for whom a great amount is still felt.
Everyone will have some words today for Keith Alexander on what would have been his 60th birthday. Sometimes it still feels strange that he is even gone. I'm talking of course from a Lincoln City perspective, but Keith was more than just Lincoln City. Keith was a trail blazer, the first black English Football manager, a man who feared nothing or nobody and yet had a kind word for everyone. He was a man who cared passionately about the teams he managed and the game he loved.
I'm writing from a Lincoln City fan's perspective and Keith was the man to restore pride in our football club. He had two cracks at it, the first spell in 1993 was perhaps beset by internal issues more than Keith's own relative inexperience. Many who saw his team of 1993/94 saw a Lincoln City trying to play attractive football on the deck. It might not have panned out at that time for him, but he already won friends at Sincil Bank.
The job he did eight years later was nothing short of a miracle. He took a broken and bruised football club, stained by years of neglect and mismanagement. From there he helped build a club, not just a team, a full football club. He signed a lot of players and quite a few turned out to be gems. He took crowds of around 2,500 and virtually doubled them. He gave the players and the fans a belief that we weren't always destined to be scrabbling around the bottom of the league. He did all of this on a shoestring budget.
Four times he took us to the play-offs, and arguably the second and third time we were desperately unlucky not to progress as the best Imps side since Murphy's early 80's team strutted their stuff. Keith became hot property but he remained staunchly Lincoln City. The hero worshipping of a truly remarkable man began well before his passing, and it will go on throughout Imps history.
I'm not going to talk about his departure, but I will mention him having the same impact at other clubs he rocked up at after Lincoln. Macclesfield Town fans in particular appreciated everything he brought to their club.
He was an 'all or nothing' man, never one to do things by halves and never one to shirk responsibility, or controversy. He had a habit of 'telling it like it is', but not in a rude and arrogant way like some. Keith could get a firm and distinct message across without being offensive, without being aggressive and without upsetting the people he spoke about.
I was lucky enough to be Poacher the Imp throughout Keith's reign, and although I stayed away from the players and staff as much as possible, he'd always shake my hand or speak as he passed. I met him properly at a Lincoln City dinner in October of 2009. He was Macclesfield manager at the time but he still came and supported a Trust Dinner in aid of his old club. He was friendly and open, and after posing for pictures I got the chance to tell him how much his work had meant to me and my family, and how, one day, I'd love to see him back at the Bank.
Just a few short months later I was on a building site in Redhill when I overheard on the radio he had passed away. I cried my eyes out on the third floor of a half-built Linden Homes house, and had to cut short the work I was doing. Losing Keith hurt me like losing a part of my own family.
So today, wherever you may be I urge you to raise a glass to the best manager this football club has had in my life time, a man who took a broken and damaged club and restored it to a club the fans could believe in and rely on. His work has physically been undone very quickly in the years since, but nobody will ever be able to erase the legacy he left at Lincoln City Football Club.
Happy birthday Big Man, and god bless you.

Three recent storms caused major disruptions all over Massachusetts. The extreme weather highlights the need for emergency preparedness plans and relationships with disaster service providers. Your Mass Conference Disaster Resource and Response Team offers you the opportunity to get to know these local agencies and hear about post-traumatic growth on April 12. "Help and Hope: Faith Based Connections for Disaster Preparedness, Response, and Recovery" is a gathering of those who work and volunteer in this field. Hear speakers, talk with providers, and pick up resources. Lunch will be provided. Register here.
Do You Have Storm Plans? (And Do They Work?)
As the series of storms pummeled the region over the last few weeks, I spoke with several local church pastors about how their churches handle storms. I learned of a situation where the pastor thought her church was extremely well prepared for cancellations and storm activity, and was completely blindsided when the church protocol had multiple points of failure. I'm sharing that experience with the pastor's permission so that you might take these points into consideration as you review your own storm plans. (Suggested plans of action in italics.)

Section champs!
MC boys win first Section title since 1990
A year ago, the Manheim Central boys track and field team got close.
Seeking their first Section Two crown since 1990, the Barons couldn't quite get past Garden Spot, dropping a 81-69 decision.
Last Wednesday, April 23, however, they finished the job.
Senior Steve Young claimed three golds in the jumps and sophomore Tyler Hoag added a pair of wins in the throwing events, as Manheim Central thumped the Spartans 93-57 in a battle of unbeatens in Manheim.
"That was a pretty exciting day for us (as coaches) and overall with the team," said Barons' skipper Shane Mack, a Garden Spot grad, "because that put us in the position to win the Section title without any help."
Which is exactly what they did on Monday, crushing Lampeter-Strasburg 101-48 to complete a perfect 7-0 league season (9-0 overall) and bring home their first Section title in 24 years.
"The athletes worked hard," Adams said. "That's the big thing. They competed hard and they didn't give up because maybe they weren't first or second. They always fought for that extra point and place."
Having lost several key seniors to graduation from the 2013 team, Adams and his staff didn't know what to expect from the team coming into this season. With only 26 boys on the roster, depth was a concern. Still, their expectations remained high.
"We never lower our expectations," Adams said. "Every year, our expectations are to be in that run for the Section title. As coaches, if the expectations are high, then our athletes will raise their expectations for themselves and the overall team as well."
With the likes of athletes such as Wade Beamesderfer, Nathanael Erk, Austin Hart and Young, the Barons juggled their pieces and put them in events where they could best help the team on a given day.
"All of those athletes sacrificed individual results for the team," Adams said. "That's pretty neat to see those athletes make those sacrifices for the team."
It was also pretty neat to see Central's 4×800 foursome of Nate Lachman, Ian Lauver, Cole Sunderland and Nathanael Erk get the Barons started on a positive note last Wednesday, running to a first-place finish in 8:31.5.
"Every event in that meet was important, but I always think that first of every meet is important and when we win, I think it sets the tone for the meet," Adams said. "I think the 4×8 was critical because what I figured in the meet was GS was going to run and be competitive in that event."
Malik Parsons led the Spartans with firsts in the 100, 200, High Hurdles and 300 Hurdles, but the Barons were able to offset those points by outscoring GS 28-8 in the 400, 800, 1600 and 3200. Beamesderfer broke the tape in the 400 lead a Barons sweep in that event, Erk won the 800 in 2:11.3, Sunderland was victorious in the 1600 in 4:54.5 and Lachman took the 3200 in 10:27.2.
"One event that I think (GS) struggles in where we're strong is the 400 meters," Adams said. "The 400, 800, 1600 are very solid for us, and that's where I figured we would get most of our points."
The 4×400 relay of Tyler Steely, Beamesderfer, Sunderland and Erk added a win in 3:45.5.
They also got a lot of key points in the field events, courtesy of Young, Hart, Hoag and Ben Lynes. Young took top honors in the long (20-4), triple jump (41-0) and high jump (5-10), Hoag heaved first-place throws in the shot put (51-1) and javelin (172-6), and Hart won the discus (137-0).
"They came in focused and ready to compete &tstr; they did very well," Adams said. "Tyler is still learning and he's going to be an outstanding athlete for a couple more years for us."
The Manheim Central girls bounced back from an 88-62 loss to GS last Wednesday to defeat Lampeter-Strasburg 100-50, improving their final Section Two record to 3-4 (3-6 overall).
In their meet against the Lady Spartans, Lauree Wiegand was a double individual winner in the long jump (5-7!-R) and triple jump (31-9!-W) to lead Manheim Central in the losing cause.
Kelli Barber chipped in with a win in the 400 (64.5), Halle Funk took the 800 (2:39.0) and both girls were members of the winning 4×400 relay (4:37.0). Danae Peter also added a victory in the 1600 in a time of 5:39.0.
In the Baron boys dominant win over L-S, Hart claimed four individual firsts in the 100 (16.0), High Hurdles (16.0), 300 Hurdles (43.0) and discus (143-3) to lead the way.
Beamesderfer was a double individual winner in the 200 (23.3) and 400 (52.9), while Hoag took home two wins in the shot put (49-7) and javelin (163-2).
Last Thursday, the Baron boys remained unbeaten with a 122-28 non-league drubbing of Annville-Cleona in Manheim. The Little Dutchmen won 90-60 in girls action to earn the split.
Led by four individual wins from Steve Young, the Barons took first place in 17 of 18 events. The senior star claimed the High Hurdles (11.7), long jump (21-2!-W), triple jump (40-6) and high jump (5-10).
Nathanael Erk also had a big day with individual wins in the 400 (52.7) and 800 (2:06.9), in addition to helping the 4×400 (3:37.1) and 4×800 (8:39.2) relays bring home firsts.
Tyler Hoag chipped in with three wins in the throwing events, finishing with gold in the shot put (49-3), discus (142-2) and javelin (175-5).
On the girls side, the Lady Barons' only two victories came in the field events, where Sophia Iosue took the discus (107-1) and Brigitte Fittery had a first-place throw of 113-10 in the javelin.

Silver Saver
Conservation scientist Glen Gates at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore is working on new ways to protect museum-quality silver from the ravages of time. Fine silverware and silver pieces on display at museums are exposed to air and tarnish just like our silver at home. Every time someone polishes the silver, even under the careful supervision of conservation experts, a little bit of the silver wears away. Gates and colleague, Physics professor Ray Phaneuf at the University of Maryland, are working on a non-destructive method to preserve silver artifacts. With support from the National Science Foundation, they're developing a nanometer-thick transparent coating that seals the silver, but is so light and thin you can't see it. This coating keeps silver from tarnishing and eliminates the need to polish it.

It's interesting that since retiring from NaCTSO I have conducted many security, threat and vulnerability assessments and have been frequently been amazed at just how businesses, some of which have similar security issues have such diverse attitudes to threat and risk and how so many businesses pay lip service to security.
There will be no names and no pack drill here but some companies with multi- millions pound assets, others with commercially sensitive property – even those who carry items of use to terrorists, feel that security is just an unnecessary expenditure.
There are too many examples to deal with here but I have seen businesses who have spent upwards of £40,000 on a new fence line, only to leave a panel out next to the car park to allow easy access for staff, thus completely by-passing the security gate. What a waste of money!
I have visited a City centre commercial premises with a concierge and security guard on the ground floor managing access control only for there to be free, unguarded access to the building by a lift via the insecure garage area.
These are but two examples and some of the others are even worse.
It seems that many business fail to put security high enough on the agenda and give security tasks to those who have no experience and do not understand the concepts or rationale.
It would be interesting to hear from those who have influenced and persuaded management of unwilling businesses of the need to take security seriously. What made the difference? Did it require a loss to get the changes required?

Valentine's Day gives us an excuse to spoil our loved ones more than usual. It's become such a big holiday that last year spending on gifts climbed to nearly $20 billion. Most is spent on candy, flowers and jewelry, most of which is not produced or harvested sustainably.
If you participate in this holiday, read on! There are several ways in which you can minimize waste and exercise eco-friendly shopping habits.
Cards and sweet notes are the first thing we exchange on Valentine's Day and we exchange roughly a billion cards each year. That is a lot of paper; so make sure you recycle the envelopes and any cards you choose not to cherish forever. When you buy your own valentines, be on the lookout for cards made from recycled paper. You can order valentines on recycled paper from a variety of stores. Even better, you can make your own using items and scraps around your house. It's fun, free, personal, and wastes a little less!
Chocolate gifts are second to none on Valentine's Day. We spend well over a billion dollars on chocolates and candies alone. Chocolate production continues to climb year after year, and with it comes increasing levels of deforestation and herbicide resistance. Deforestation causes destruction of wildlife habitats, reduction in plant diversity and soil erosion. Excessive use of herbicides is detrimental to both the land and the pesticide sprayers' health. There are many solutions farmers can implement such as planting under natural tree-cover, which provides necessary shade and oxygen replenishment. We, as consumers, can also help the cause and make a pledge to only buy fair trade, organically produced chocolate. Some of my favorites are Theo Chocolate and Green & Blacks. Do you have any favorite eco-friendly chocolate companies?
The cut flowers most of us have access to in this country have been grown in harsh conditions and transported quite a distance. Although picking up a bouquet at the super market is quick and easy, doing this encourages the growing conditions, labor conditions and excessive transportation of the South American flower operations outlined in my blog post linked above. Buying seasonal flowers and finding organic or sustainable florists will support the local economy, decrease transportation emissions and much more. Join me in following these tips this Valentine's Day!
If you plan on purchasing other items this Valentine's Day, consider these shopping tips, look for organic spas and beauty shops, and buy ethical jewelry. Are you getting a gift for your pet? Get a toy made from recycled materials!
How else will you be eco-friendly this Valentine's Day?

This whitepaper will review how the all-flash array (AFA) market has undergone significant maturation over the past two years. A high percentage of customers have already committed to an "all flash for primary storage" strategy, and every customer interviewed for this study was among those. In 2017, AFAs will drive over 80% of all primary storage revenue. All of the established storage vendors have entered this space, and there are several start-ups with over $100 million in revenue. With this level of market maturation, multiple segments have developed within the primary flash array space. There are systems targeted for dedicated application deployment, there are systems specifically for web-scale applications, and there are systems intended for dense mixed workload consolidation. These latter systems are driving most of the AFA revenue, and they aspire to become the primary storage platforms of record for enterprises of all sizes. This study evaluates the suitability of 10 vendors' AFA platforms for dense mixed enterprise workload consolidation that includes at least some mission-critical applications.

After every act of terror that shakes the world, it seems as though the far-right cranks and extremists come crawling out of the woodwork. The story is no different following the atrocity in Brussels, which claimed the lives of 31 people and injured more than 300. The Belgian far-right has come out fighting in the wake of the attack, with ultranationalist group Voorpost leading the charge.
Its leader Bart Vanpachtenbeke has claimed to Mail Online that the group's membership has leaped up since the bombings in Belgium's capital. "A huge number of people have started supporting us online. We have had more than double the number of new members in the last three days," he said.
Voorpost, which means "outpost" in Dutch, has a long history of inciting anti-Muslim hatred, but it is above all a Flemish nationalist organisation. This means its members want nothing more than to reunite Flanders, the Dutch-speaking parts of Belgium, with the Netherlands, Afrikaner South Africa and even French Flanders, Dutch-speaking areas of Germany and Suriname, to "restore" a largely mythical polity that would be known as the Greater Netherlands.
Alongside Flemish nationalism, though, Voorpost is avowedly against immigration, multiculturalism, and Islam. It has branches in Holland, Flanders and South Africa, and regularly holds marches and demonstrations in which its followers wear a blue uniform and brandish the Flemish flag – a rampant black lion on a yellow background. The group is also anti-EU, anti-Belgian and, oddly, pro-ecological.
Founded in 1976 by a member of Vlaams Blok, a now-banned far-right Flemish political party, Voorpost maintains links with other European nationalist organisations. One 2014 action saw the group remove flags celebrating 50 years of Turkish integration in the Belgian city of Ninove and replace them with their own.
"There is anger in Brussels now," Vanpachtenbeke, who is rarely photographed without wearing a natty bow-tie, told the Mail. "I think there are dark times coming. We can't give any information, but we are planning a lot of new protests. There is a lot of drastic action, a lot of noise coming."
Voorpost's social media is draped in the usual race-baiting memes and anti-immigrant rhetoric, and features plenty of pictures of angry white men waving flags wearing military fatigues. They don't seem to have the online power of other groups like Britain First or Pegida, though; their Twitter account doesn't quite have 800 followers, while they have a few more than 1,750 likes on Facebook.

Privacy is about expressing yourself on your terms. This website is on my terms. My name is Will Ahern and I have been in the IT field for over 30 years. I work with small clients doing anything digital with them especially leveraging the potential of the Internet to their advantage.
I am intellectually curious about all things digital and especially the internet. Some years ago I took the approach that to benefit from the internet, personal information was no longer so private, in fact it was a commodity to be shared with little regard for its use by others. In order to get something on the internet, you had to give something. That was Google's model and I played into it.
As I set out to develop this website and help others with privacy, I first thought my anonimity would be evidence of my skill regarding privacy. I have changed that premise and freely reveal who I am. I also have changed much of my behavior on the Internet and am much more covetous of my information.

Chris Brown Advises Kanye on How to Deal With The Paparazzi
After Kanye West's justifiable confrontation with the paparazzi yesterday morning at 4am, Chris Brown took to his twitter to offer some advice to the controversial rapper on how to handle the meddling paps.
"Hire some security or some street ni**as to take care of the bullshit so u not explaining Yaself."
The singer, who is known for his rage-filled outbursts continued his words of wisdom,
These two may be known for having a temper, but they are right on this one. Being outside someone's home at 4am is a bit ridiculous.

Tonight is a perfect example of a way to game and get stuff done at the same time!
I just wanted to show how there is always a way to squeeze in a workout!
I have been playing Terraria (on PC) again lately, and am just now getting into Fishing (it's been out for a while)! There are daily fishing quests, which only take a few minutes to complete after you're found the best locations on your map to fish. Terraria days are 24 real-world minutes long (one second real-time per minute game time),
Which leaves around 20 minutes in between each daily quest to do a quick workout, to read, or to do something (anything) else that you want to do!
Not just to exclusively to work out or exercise, but you can use this time to accomplish anything else you want to as well! On a fitness level, this is plenty of time to also do things like stretch, go outside and get some fresh air and sunshine, plan meals or meditate. This is just one example that there is always a way to squeeze in a workout without sacrificing gaming time or goals!
Normally I would take this 20 minute opportunity to do something else in-game, to cruise the Internet, check my Facebook (since I'm already on my computer), or read something on Wikipedia (convincing myself that I'm getting smarter for doing it). But it would be better if I did something more productive towards my real life goals! Even if it was just during one of those 20 minute breaks. Slap on a pedometer and see how far you can get before it's quest time again!
I'm not saying take every single one of them away, but just one a day would be wonderful and would feel great!
So try to look for opportunities for a "break" during in between game goals, and set a timer and have at it!

Saving the planet is a great idea (except when it just becomes another excuse for federal control) and has many battle cries: Save the whales, save the rain forests, save the baby seals, etc. But slightly more important goal is to save the humans. Just sayin', no point in saving the planet if we destroy ourselves.
I wouldn't call myself an environmentalist
You won't catch me chaining myself to this
Old growth, spotted owl, red squrrel habitat tree.
And I'm not too worried 'bout the baby seal,
Or real fur coats or meat in my meal
But there are a few things that have really been botherin' me.
How much are we wasting,
As we go on hasting
To live our lives of selfish comfort
What do we leave behind?
And all that I am sayin;
We're caught up in our playin
And I'm a little bit disappointed.
A little bit disappointed.
It's not any one thing that's buggin' me,
Just a lot of little things adding up to be
A problem with the way we ruin everything we have.
We got trash in the woods and trash on the street
And trash in the desert and under our feet,
We got trash on the radio, trash on TV,
Trash on the internet, trash, don't you see?
We got filth in our mouths and filth in the brain,
Poison in our stomachs, smoke it, shoot it through your veins
Corruption in the city, corruption in the state
Maybe it's too late!
And all that I am sayin'
The words that I am prayin'
As I find myself layin' down
Upon my bed to cry
Can we all do a little better?
Cuz we're all in this together.
I'm a little bit disappointed.
instrumental break
I believe we're falling from the cliff now
Get back from the edge; no-one seems to know how
Save the planet? Why would we do that?
What are we saving it for?
We are the most endangered species
Killing ourselves can be so easy
The enemy within us rotting us from the core.
So come and join the chorus,
Nobody's gonna do it for us,
God will not ignore us,
Children, share the blue-green ball.
The freedom we are losing
By the path that we are choosing
I'm a little bit disappointed.
And all that I am sayin'
The words that I am prayin'
As we all are layin' down
Upon the ground to die
The freedom we are losing
By the path that we are choosing
I'm a little bit disappointed.
And all that I am sayin'
The words that I am prayin'
As we all are layin' down
Upon the ground to die
The freedom we are losing
By the path that we are choosing
I'm a little bit disappointed.
A little bit disappointed
A little bit disappointed (Save the humans)
A little bit disappointed
Recently I went to the local landfill to shoot video for a recycling and waste disposal company. I was there after hours all by myself, and as I walked over the miles of garbage I became very 'disappointed' with how much we really waste as a society. The garbage of the day had been left uncovered and was blowing freely around the area, and as I took it all in this song came to mind. Then as I thought more about it later, I realized that the amount of garbage we waste was only a small problem compared to the amount we take in; the amount we watch on TV and other media, and the amount we hold in our minds.
So in this song I try to capture the really big picture: Yes, we should care for our world and all the things on it but more importantly we should take care not to pollute ourselves as individuals and a society. And after that, of course, we could always be nice to each other too.
Save the humans!

Thomas University to present first Peacemaker Award
Thomas University will hold a ceremony at 9 a.m. Friday, May 2, to present its first Peacemaker Award to two recent graduates whose community involvement has made them role models in relations between the U.S. and China. The Peacemaker Award is presented to students in the TU Chinese Master of Business Administration cohort who made the greatest contribution to the community during their time in Thomasville by serving as outstanding ambassadors for China and endearing themselves to the community with all their acts of loving service.
The recipients will be Xue "Winnie" Zhang and Jihe "Tim" Tian, who came to Thomasville in August 2012 as part of a group of Chinese students to attend Thomas University and earn a Master of Business Administration Degree. During their time in Thomasville, the two have also been very active in the community.
While a graduate student at TU, Zhang also worked in the Hawk's Nest, TU's on-campus café; helped prepare food for the 2013 Dining for Education event, a scholarship fundraiser that featured authentic Chinese food; participated as a pianist in the ACTU Sundays at Four performance series; taught Mandarin language classes to the community; participated in the Salt Group at the First United Methodist Church, which reaches out to other TU students; volunteered for two years to prepare food for the Chinese New Year celebration at the First United Methodist Church; volunteered at the Thomas County Library; and regularly prepared Chinese food to share with friends.
As a TU graduate student, Tian also worked with Goal Line Ministries in an effort to make international students feel more welcome; provided accounting support for Goal Line; participated in the Salt Group at the First United Methodist Church; served as a liaison between the TU administrators and officials in Xiamen; volunteered to prepare for two years for the Chinese New Year celebration at First United Methodist Church; participated in a Hands on Thomas County work project at Vashti; volunteered at the Thomas County Library; and participated in the Rotary Club's Supporting the Troops Project by weighing boxes of food and supplies to be sent to troops.
For their efforts, Zhang and Tian will be presented with a brick that will be placed in the newly established Peacemakers' Circle located between Balfour Chapel and the Veterans' Honor Park on TU's Main Campus.

text: There's only one sure-fire way to get your record on Paste's annual list of the Best Album Covers: Include an astronaut tiger. That worked for Capital Cities, but the other 29 acts on this list had to come up with other ideas. Like Man Man's nautical tigers. Or Cayucas' sasquatch on a bicycle. Or even beautifully designed covers that don't feature anthropomorphic or mythical creatures. Because while bands can sometimes feel constrained by genre labels or musical styles, the album cover knows no bounds—even the bounds of good taste. Music meets wonderful visual art in these 30 album covers which stood apart from their many peers. Here are our favorites of 2013:

Whether it's 2 PM or 2 AM, Diane is always available in an emergency or to answer a question. I'll only deal with DLA Realty and Management CompanyWhether it's 2 PM or 2 AM, Diane is always available in an emergency or to answer a question. I'll only deal with DLA Realty and Management Company.
A simple phone call to Diane at DLA Realty and Management Company to report a bulb that needs to be replaced in the parking lot results in more than a new bulb. You can rely on Diane to visit the building during the evening hours to check all the outside fixtures for light placement as well as bulb replacement. It's the extra mile and the little touches that you can always count on that set DLA Realty apart from other management firms.
When a car crashed through the wall into my office, Diane was on scene immediately, taking photographs to document the damage, discussing the situation with the police officers, contacting her handyman to temporarily seal the wall and window and then calling the insurance company to begin the arduous process of placing a claim for repairs. DLA Realty and Diane Albalah are amazing.
When you sign on with DLA Realty and Management Co, not only do you get Diane Albalah as the dedicated person on your account, it means you also get her incredible team of service people. Her team of electricians, plumbers, contractors, etc. have been working with Diane for so long, when they come to the office we know them and they feel like family. That level of dedication to DLA allows me to focus on my medical practice and to not have to worry about the incidentals of running an office.
Dealing with DLA Realty and with Diane is always a stress free situation. Unlike other Management firms where you get bounced around from agent to agent when you have a problem, when you contact DLA you contact Diane. She knows her tenants, her buildings and her community.
Diane at DLA Realty and Management rented out my property very quickly. She arranged for cleaning and preparing the premises as well as finding and screening a new tenant for the available space. The entire process was seamless and I can't thank Diane enough for being so proactive with this so I could concentrate on my business.

Latest ROBOTC Update is our Official Release!!
We're very excited for our official release update, ROBOTC 4.26!! This update is for the both the VEX Robotics (CORTEX and IQ) and LEGO MINDSTORMS (NXT and EV3) robotics systems.
Some of these new updates include …
- Full EV3 Functionality (Sounds, LCD, LEDs, Sensors, Motors)
- Graphical Language for all platforms (VEX IQ, VEX Cortex – LEGO NXT, LEGO EV3)
- Updated 3rd Party Driver Library for NXT and EV3
- Updated Text Based Natural Language for NXT
- Tons and Tons of Bug Fixes and Enhancements!
ROBOTC 4.25 -> 4.26 Change Log
- Major Bug Fixes
- Fixed Encoder Count Issue with VEX IQ Virtual Worlds – Encoders were not properly adjusting to the 360 count scale and may have caused issues when trying to use multiple "setMotorTarget/moveMotorTarget" commands.
- Fixed Virtual Worlds for VEX Cortex platform – crashes when trying to download to Virtual Worlds with VEX Cortex platform are now resolved.
- Support for VEX IQ Brain Firmware Version 1.12
- Increase timeout (4 seconds -> 10 seconds) for downloading over wireless for VEX IQ.
- New VEX IQ Clawbot image for Standard Models
- New Dialog Message for successful VEX IQ Firmware Downloading
- VEX Cortex
- Implemented fix for dual platform users who may experience compiler errors due to "External Motors/Servo Controllers" flag being enabled.
- Check that a valid team number has been set for VEX Cortex Controller. The check is made during user program download when the download type has been set to "Competition". Teams should set their VEX Team Number to assist with debugging at competition while using VEXNet 2.0 (white) radios.
- Adjust EV3 Standard Model – Motor ports were reversed (left vs right)
- Adjusted all EV3 Graphical Sample Program to reflect new "standard model"
- Support for draw picture (BMP) file on LCD screen. Does not support general BMP files, but rather LEGO specific picture files.
- Fixed an issue where the EV3 "Reset Gyro" command was not properly resetting the Gyro value.
- "getBatteryCurrent" command has been fixed.
- Improved usage of Casper's "search for devices" so that USB connected EV3 that are disconnected during a ROBOTC session are better handled.
- Crashes to ROBOTC after closing the IDE Editor after communicating with an EV3 have been resolved.
- Virtual Worlds
- Additional Logic to have "TETRIX" based Virtual Worlds appear if the "External Motor/Servo Controller" flag is toggled. Currently they do not appear under any condition.
- Fixed bug hiding "Joystick Control – Basic" for Virtual Worlds users.
- Graphical Interface
- Prevent 'text' and 'graphical' menus from becoming undocked from the ROBOTC interface – doing so may cause the main ROBOTC interface to become unresponsive.
- Fixed bug where empty parameter values were using the last provided string as opposed to overwriting with "Blank" values – applies for the "MultipleMotor" Graphical commands.
- ROBOTC IDE / General
- Text-Based Function Library will no longer show commands that have been deemed "deprecated"
- Update "Errors" to "Compiler Errors" based on user's feedback.
- Change compiler "error" to "warning" for assignment of a pointer value to an int without use of a cast.
- Compiler was incorrectly allocating temporary variables during evaluation of "&(NULL)" types of expressions. Fixed.
- Updated Help documentation files.
Download ROBOTC 4.26 here! And ensure that your devices are up to date by following the instruction in our last post.
As always, if you have questions or feedback, feel free to contact at email@example.com or visit our forums! Happy programming!!

If I have melasma starting on my upper lip, is it okay to stay on my birth control?
Please see your gynecologist (or whoever prescribed these)!! In general, if the melasma is being caused by hormones, whether it's from pregnancy or from oral contraceptives, it will usually get worse if the hormones are still present. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but see your gynecologist to discuss before changing anything! Dr. I

Any effective financial reporting system needs to be a coherent one (i.e., a framework in which all the pieces fit together according to an underlying logic). Such frameworks have several characteristics:
A framework should enhance the transparency of a company's financial statements. Transparency means that users should be able to see the underlying economics of the business reflected clearly in the company's financial statements. Full disclosure and fair presentation create transparency.
To be comprehensive, a framework should encompass the full spectrum of transactions that have financial consequences. This spectrum includes not only transactions currently occurring, but also new types of transactions as they are developed. So an effective financial reporting framework is based on principles that are universal enough to provide guidance for recording both existing and newly developed transactions.
An effective framework should ensure reasonable consistency across companies and time periods. In other words, similar transactions should be measured and presented in a similar manner regardless of industry, company size, geography, or other characteristics. Balanced against this need for consistency, however, is the need for sufficient flexibility to allow companies sufficient discretion to report results in accordance with underlying economic activity.
