Abaco in a (Coco)Nutshell
Abaco, an island archipelago in the Northeast Bahamas 180 miles from South Florida, retains strong maritime connections. The area was founded by American Loyalists in 1783, folks who supported King George II and fled the fledging United States after it successfully parted ways with mother England. They were basically planters, but they soon discovered their future, and ultimate survival, depended on a partnership with the sea. After initially establishing settlements on mainland Abaco, a boomerang-shaped island about 120 miles long and only several miles wide, they discovered the protection of snug little harbors on a string of outer cays protected offshore by the world's third largest barrier reef.
Here they built villages and ships, and while they continued farming the mainland, they grew ever dependent on the sea for a livelihood. They became wreckers, or ship salvagers, fishermen and expert carpenters whose clapboard homes resembled those in New England. Today, the partnership with the sea is as strong as ever, with small, friendly resorts and numerous marinas; a place where there are more boat slips than hotel rooms, and almost as many rental boats as rental cars. Abaco's thriving tourism and real estate economy is based on sustainable reefs, broad empty beaches, fishing grounds and myriad other gifts from Mother Nature. Here, in basic profile, is Abaco in a nutshell as it is today:
MARSH HARBOUR - There's only one stop light, but traffic backs up in all directions at lunch hour and at quitting time in what is today the Bahamas' third largest city. About half of the entire Abaco population of 15,000 lives here. It's a commercial hub, with five banks, two ever-expanding hardware stores, gas stations, law and real estate offices, supermarkets, numerous restaurants, insurance companies, and every other store or business one would expect in a town five times this size.
As such, downtown is not particularly picturesque. That aspect is left to the so-called "marina district" on the east side, where the harbour is lined with sparkling marinas, waterfront restaurants, boutiques, and high-end shops like John Bull, Wrackers, Abaco Gold, and the Conch Pearl Gallery, to name a few. Here you can sip a cappuccino in the morning, have lunch overlooking a flotilla of boats and dance the night away in an outdoor bistro.
New subdivisions are popping up in town with upscale properties located at places like the Great Abaco Club, a marina community attached to the Abaco Beach Resort. Somewhat removed from the hectic downtown area are quiet waterfront neighborhoods like Eastern Shores and Pelican Shores. And while Marsh Harbour gives a sense urban hustle, the surrounding water, with its marinas, boatyards and docks reminds us daily that this is a town forever tied to the sea.
The Outer Cays
HOPE TOWN - Wyannie Malone and her three strapping sons, formerly of South Carolina, founded this settlement in 1785. It slept through the industrial revolution and for about 150 years remained a quiet fishing village and ship-building center until the 1950s, when all of Abaco began to awaken. But while many of Hope Town's island neighbors enjoyed similar protection with harbours, Hope Town had a couple of distinct advantages. Its harbour was large and totally protected, and later it was distinguished by a magical lighthouse built by the British in the 1860s. Ironically, the famous candy-striped lighthouse, which stands today as Hope Town's iconic symbol, was vigorously opposed by the ship salvaging residents at the time of its construction.
The beautiful harbour and stunning beaches soon attracted tourism to the entire island, known as Elbow Cay, and today the narrow harbour entrance welcomes hundreds of boats every day. The Hope Town Harbour Lodge, founded in the 1950s but totally renovated, is the only "hotel" in town, but there are hundreds of rental houses spread across the cay, most of them owned by part time foreign residents. Construction is the second largest "industry" here after tourism as new houses sprout up all over the island. World War II style landing craft serve as shallow-draft freight boats from Marsh Harbour, hauling everything from refrigerators and Christmas trees to golf carts and lawn fertilizer.
LUBBERS QUARTERS - Lying just west of Elbow Cay is the enigmatically-named island of Lubber's Quarters. The 350-acre, boot-shaped island is totally within the confines of the Sea of Abaco, the four-to-five-mile wide sound which separates most of the outer cays from mainland Abaco. Lubber's is lush, with a rugged terrain, lots of vegetation, verdant mangroves and a rich profusion of indigenous trees and plants.
It is also rapidly growing as a residential haven, even though it has no settlement and virtually no commercial business save one waterfront restaurant, Cracker P's, famous for its fresh grilled fish and full moon parties. The advent of electricity and even telephones has spurred new home building in recent years, and today there are more than 60 houses on Lubbers, mainly on the south end of the island in and around the development known as the Abaco Ocean Club, which occupies about 20 percent of the island with 161 residential lots. The rest of the approximately three-mile-long and one-half-mile-wide atoll is divided into large, privately-owned sea-to-sea lots.
MAN-O-WAR CAY - More than any other island in the Abacos, Man-O-War has retained the strongest ties with boat building, boat transportation and boat maintenance and repair. The Albury family, which founded this cay as loyalists, once built remarkably large sailing schooners here. After the airport opened in Marsh Harbour in the 1950s, the family founded Albury's Ferry Service, which still provides numerous daily trips between Marsh Harbour, Hope Town, Man-O-War, Great Guana Cay and the private island of Scotland Cay.
Workmanship here, whether it's in the building of fiberglass runabouts or the maintenance of large yachts, is recognized as superior by every cognizant boater in the Bahamas and South Florida. The island is quiet, with little commercial development. The beaches are long and deserted. And Miss Lola's cinnamon buns are to die for.
Homes are spread across the narrow island, as well as a thin spit of land guarding the harbour known as Dickies Cay, but Man-O-War has escaped major development. A few shops, a couple of grocery stores, a hardware store and a smattering of marinas and boatyards constitute Man-O-War's business - along with a couple of bakeries run by locals like Miss Lola.
GREAT GUANA CAY - For a long time, because of its size and potential, they called this seven-mile-long island "the sleeping giant." Today the giant has awakened as new businesses in the settlement of Guana Harbour, along with the sale of many residential lots and home construction, have spurred the local economy. Strangely, it was not hotels and tourism that created interest and subsequently awakened the giant, but a beach bar. Hordes began arriving for Sunday pig roasts at Nippers Beach Bar and Grill soon after it opened overlooking Guana's spectacular beach, and there's been no discernible let-up. Responding to new demand and some threatened competition, Albury's Ferry inaugurated service several times daily from Marsh Harbour, as opposed to once a week on Fridays. The service and island ambiance has brought new popularity to small hotels and vacation rentals.
Orchid Bay, a marina and beachfront community south of the settlement, features many subdivided hillside lots, but home construction is still in its infancy. Most new homes have been built just north of the settlement on individual lots, and all of Guana's contractors are backed up with business waiting. Still, the biggest news on the once-sleeping giant is the sudden awakening of the big island's northern end at Baker's Bay. Here, on 550 acres of remote and wild sea-to-sea property, Discovery Land Company plans hundreds of new homes, a golf course and large marina over the next decade.
GREEN TURTLE CAY - The village of New Plymouth, established by early loyalists, sits on a spit of land which partially surrounds a somewhat shallow harbour. It's a storybook place where hard-working generations have tried their hand at everything from shipping pineapples and turtles to shark fishing and lobstering. The latter remains as a viable enterprise, but most of the island's 600 or so permanent residents are today involved in tourism and construction. The cay has two resorts, the Green Turtle Club and Bluff House, both on White Sound opposite the village, and there are probably 150 houses and cottages for rent. Green Turtle has some of the best beaches and liveliest annual events, such as Junkanoo on New Year's Day, and the Island Roots Festival each May, which celebrates Green Turtle's historical connection with Key West, Florida.
Schooner captains once dismantled their houses in New Plymouth and reassembled them in that once isolated but wealthy city in Florida, and there are many similarities between homes in both places today. One developer here is planning a waterfront community called Leeward Yacht Club, which will feature homes fashioned after early Key West designs. But other foreign investors are also busy buying up property and building new homes with their own individual touch.
North of Marsh Harbour
TREASURE CAY - As a commercial and charter pilot almost half a century ago, Capt. Leonard Thompson of Marsh Harbour often looked wistfully down on a beautiful beach at a place known on the maps as Sand Banks Cay. It formed a pristine crescent that arched southeast from the Abaco mainland on a wide peninsula. Capt. Thompson dreamed of building a resort there someday, and by the late 1950s, in partnership with U.S. investors, the dream became a reality with a 40-room hotel on 460 acres, which Capt. Thompson renamed Treasure Cay.
Forty years after the first hotel was built here, the resort has become Abaco's largest compound of private homes and resort facilities, covering more than 1,500 acres. The marina has 150 slips and there are accommodations for more than 200 guests, including 95 marina units, a number of villas, condominiums, time shares, and apartments. The resort's 18-hole championship golf course is considered a top course in the Bahamas by leading golf publications, and major sport fishing tournaments draw more than 100 boats and hundreds of participants annually.
Today, there are more than 600 homes at Treasure Cay with a resident population that swells to 1,000 people or more in winter months, although only a small percentage live here year-round. Land sales, home building and population have grown at a steady but moderate pace, while real estate prices have soared.
LEISURE LEE - Five miles south of Treasure Cay, down the paved highway to Marsh Harbour, is Leisure Lee, a strictly residential community of homes built primarily on ocean access canals or along the shore of the Sea of Abaco.
Since the highway (which was unpaved along here until the 1980s) makes commuting easy, whether you are heading north to Treasure Cay or south to Marsh Harbour, Leisure Lee has become kind of a suburb or bedroom community. Construction on new homes has picked up here in recent years because of its quiet location, reasonably-priced real estate and accessibility to both north and south Abaco.
South of Marsh Harbour
CASUARINA POINT & BAHAMA PALM SHORES - If Leisure Lee is Marsh Harbour's suburban bedroom community to the north, then these two can be considered as such to the south of that city. Dozens of home-owners commute daily to jobs in "the big city," and come home to tranquillity on the Sea of Abaco. The arrival of electricity in recent times sparked new construction here, although buyers, primarily foreign, started speculating with lots here more than 40 years ago. Just 14 and 17 miles down the highway from Marsh Harbour respectively, these are two of the most reasonably-priced communities on mainland Abaco, where hundreds of acres are for sale as well as home resales. Residents love the long, arching beach with its miles of empty sand, the air of serenity and the tropical touches lent to the community by hundreds of coconut palms.
CHEROKEE SOUND & THE ABACO CLUB - Across the sound from Casuarina is the settlement of Cherokee Sound, yet another loyalist enclave which somehow endured for more than 150 years as an isolated fishing and boat-building community. Property in and around Cherokee, which is only 20 miles from Marsh Harbour, has caught on with folks wanting to relocate to a traditional town which retains neighborly standards while embracing modern conveniences. Little Harbour, a nearby community with 50 homes, an art gallery and Pete's Pub, a popular watering hole, is a short drive away. Cherokee's simplicity and Little Harbour's rustic atmosphere contrast dramatically with the plush and exclusive environment of The Abaco Club, a gated $160 million golf and beach community on exquisite Winding Bay which lies between the two. Here oceanfront lots go for millions of dollars and a required $75,000 club membership buys all privileges, including golf on a spectacular Scottish links style course with mind-boggling views of the Atlantic.
South of here, an empty and undeveloped Atlantic coastline beckons beachcombers - and new developers. Some have subdivided lots at Old Kerrs, Schooner Bay and Long Beach near the settlement of Crossing Rock.. Sandy Point, a village 60 miles south of Marsh Harbour at Abaco's southern tip, has long been a haven for fishing enthusiasts. The town's friendly residents are known as some of Abaco's best farmers, fishermen and seafarers. There are some small hotels and guest houses as well as a few rental homes and property is much less expensive than many other areas.


text: The experimental results of molten corium-steel specimen interaction with molten corium on the 'Rasplav-2' test facility are presented. In the experiments, cooled vessel steel specimens positioned on the molten pool bottom and uncooled ones lowered into the molten pool were tested. Interaction processes were studied for different corium compositions, melt superheating and in alternative (inert and air) overlying atmosphere. Hypotheses were put forward explaining the observed phenomena and interaction mechanisms. The studies presented in the paper were aimed at the detection of different corium-steel interaction mechanisms. Therefore certain identified phenomena are more typical of the ex-vessel localization conditions than of the in-vessel corium retention. Primarily, this can be referred to the phenomena of low-temperature molten corium-vessel steel interaction in oxidizing atmosphere.

'Plumbing Issue' Caused Odor That Sickened People at West Des Moines Bank
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa – HAZMAT crews were called out to a bank in West Des Moines Wednesday morning after people began feeling ill.
Crews were called to the Banker's Trust at 620 S. 60th Street around 8:30 a.m. David Edgar, Assistant Chief for Emergency Medical Communication Services in West Des Moines, tells us that HAZMAT was called after five people felt nauseous.
The building was evacuated, and Edgar says no carbon monoxide has been detected. The people who were ill did not need to be transported to the hospital.
According to Scott Valbert with Banker's Trust, the source of the odor that caused the illness was due to a plumbing issue. The building was given the "all clear" a little after 10:00 a.m.

Doing art and science together threw some of the boys off-kilter. I heard a Science Geek Son asking, "Mom, why is she talking? This is Science."
Then another boy answered him, "No, it's not. It's Art."
"No, it's Science."
"No, it's Science and Art."
"You can't have Science and Art."
"Yes, you can."
"No, you can't."
It took all 4 Moms to get across the idea that we were doing Science and Art at the same time. I think maybe next week I will bring some samples of medical illustration to show how you can do Science and Art at the same time. Or maybe, for those Star Wars fans (i.e., all the boys), I should just launch into a history lesson on Industrial Light and Magic. Wait - is that doing Art and History together?

Von Neumann: The Brain: Stimulation Criteria (The Computer and the Brain, 1958)
Neurons function as basic logical organs, and basically digital organs: if a neuron requires only one incoming pulse (stimulator) to produce a response, then it is an OR organ; if it requires two incoming pulses, then it is an AND organ. These two, along with simulating "no" can be combined in various ways into any complex logical operation.
Von Neumann: The Brain: The Nature of Nerve Impulses (The Computer and the Brain, 1958)
"Natural componentry favors automata with more, but slower, organs, while the artificial one favors the reverse arrangement of fewer, but faster organs." Thus "the human nervous system will pick up many logical or informational items, and process them simultaneously," while a computer "will be more likely to do things successively. . . or at any rate not so many things at a time." The nervous system is parallel, while computers are serial. But the two cannot always be substituted for one another—some calculations must be done serially, the next step must follow the one previous to it, while other calculations done parallel, to be done serially require immense memory requirements.
Von Neumann: The Brain: Simplified Description of the Function of the Neuron (The Computer and the Brain, 1958)
Von Neumann: The Computer: Characteristics of Modern Digital Machines (The Computer and the Brain, 1958)
Comprises "active" and "memory" organs (he's including "input" and "output" as part of "memory).
Active organs: perform basic logical actions, sense coincidences and anticoincidences, and combine stimuli, regenerate pulses to maintain pulse shapes and timing via amplification of the signals.
These functions were performed by (in historical succession): relays, tubes, crystal diodes, ferromagnetic cores, transistors, or by combinations of those.
A modern machine will contain 3,000-30,000 active organs, of which 300-2,000 are dedicated to arithmetic, and 200-2,000 to memory. Memory organs require further organs to service and administer them—the memory parts of the machine being around 50% of the whole machine.
Memory organs are classed by their "access time"—the time to store a number, removing the number previously stored, and the time to 'repeat' the number upon 'questioning' (that is, write/read times, respectively). To classify the speed, you could either take the larger of those two times, or the average of them. If the access time doesn't depend on the memory address, it is called "random access" (RAM).
Memory registers can be built of active organs—which, while fastest, are also most expensive (i.e,. built out of vacuum tubes). Thus, for large-memory operations, it's cost-prohibitive. Previously, relays were used as the active organs, and relay registers were used as the main form of memory.
It is possible, however, to reduce the required memory to solve a problem by considering not the total numbers needed in memory, but the minimum needed in memory at any given time. And if that can be determined, numbers can be distributed between faster memory, and slower memory, based on when they are needed—that is, perhaps all the numbers can be stored on the slower memory, while the necessary numbers of the moment are stored on the faster memory. I assume this is how computers now function—everything is stored on the hard drive, while the absolutely necessary things to the current operations are stored in the RAM.
Magnetic drums and tapes are currently (1950s) in use, while magnetic discs are being explored (and now, 2015, becoming obsolete in favor of SSDs).
Inputs are punched cards or paper tapes, outputs are printed or punched paper—that is, means for the machine to communicate with the outside world.
Words are saved directly to named numerical addresses within the memory of the machine—the address is never ambiguous.
Mumford: The Monastery and the Clock (Technics and Civilization, 1934)
"The clock, not the steam engine, is the key machine of the modern industrial age"
The clock "is a piece of power-machinery whose 'product' is seconds and minutes: by its essential nature it dissociated time from human events and helped create the belief in an independent world of mathematically measurable sequences: the special world of science. There is relatively little foundation for this belief in common human experience: throughout the year the days are of uneven duration, and not merely does the relation between day and night steadily change, but a slight journey from East to West alters astronomical time by a certain number of minutes. In terms of the human organism itself, mechanical time is even more foreign: while human life has regularities of its own, the beat of the pulse, the breathing of the lungs, these change from hour to hour with mood and action, and in the longer span of days, time is measured not by the calendar but by the events that occupy it. The shepherd measures from the time the ewes lambed; the farmers measures back to the day of sowing or forward to the harvest: if growth has its own duration and regularities, behind it are not simply matter and motion, but the facts of development: in short, history. And while mechanical time is strung out in a succession of mathematically isolated instants, organic time—what Bergson calls duration—is cumulative in its effects. Though mechanical time can, in a sense, be speeded up or run backward, like the hands of a clock or the images of a moving picture, organic time moves in only one direction—through the cycle of birth, growth, development, decay, and death—and the past that is already dead remains present in the future that has still to be born."
Mumford: Machines, Utilities, and 'The Machine' (Technics and Civilization, 1934)
There are physiological processes, like growing hair in response to the cold. Then there are things that, rather, change the environment—tools and machines. Tools are flexible in function—a knife can be used to cut, shave, carve, etc. Whereas machines are inflexible in function—a drill can only drill.
Tools, however, function as extensions of the person who manipulates them. It takes considerable effort and skill to use a hammer properly, whereas regardless of how complicated a machine is, it requires little relative effort or skill to use (for instance, in driving a car, by pushing your foot down, you cause a number of processes to take place, and, ultimately, the wheels to turn and move the heavy car automatically).
In between these two, tool, and machine, is the machine-tool, which blurs the line between the human extension and the automatic—say, an electric handheld drill, which involves a number of processes effected only by pushing a button, and is run by electricity, yet still requires considerable skill to use, as it acts like an extension of the person.
Lastly, utensils and utilities, from baskets to kilns to roads, are important technological objects in the development of the modern environment.
Von Neumann: The Computer: Mixed Numerical Procedures (The Computer and the Brain, 1958)
Some machines are combinations of digital and analog parts that may have a common, or may have separate, controls. In the case of separate controls, the controls must communicate with each other, and require D/A and A/D organs. D/A means building up a continuous quantity from the digital expression (i.e., digitally, 10, so analogue, buildup 10V), while A/D means measuring a continuous quantity for digital expression.
Possible description of floating point resolution using a "pulse density" system where number is more or less precise depending on how large it is?
Von Neumann: The Computer: Logical Control (The Computer and the Brain)
Logical Control is essentially how one determines the fixed order to perform logical functions to produce the desired result. This is programming the machine.
So you have the numerical data that is input, you have the organs that perform basic mathematical functions, you have instructions as to the order in which those functions are performed, and you then have the output data.
Beyond being able to perform basic functions, the machine must also have the capacity to perform a sequence/logical pattern to solve mathematical problems, which is actually the goal in the first place. So in analog machines there must be enough components that can perform basic functions as needed for the calculation. They must be connected to each other in a fixed setting for the duration of solving the problem.
It is possible to have only one component for each basic function, but this then requires that there be another organ in the machine to remember numbers—it must be able to remember a number, replace the number in its memory, and also repeat upon being questioned for it. This is called 'memory' and the totality of memory organs is a 'memory register' and is the main 'mode of control' for digital machines.
There are a number of possibilities for controlling this sequence through what is an iterative approach—I'm assuming through a series of IF/THEN sorts of controls.
In "memory stored control", rather than having physical controls, the controls are stored in the machine's memory—essentially, the "program" is no longer a physical thing (i.e., a punchcard), but can be stored in the same way that numbers can be stored—within the machine itself.
What makes this remarkable further is the numbers and programs can begin manipulating themselves from within the machine.
These types of controls can be combined, so that a memory stored control could consist of orders that reset plugged (physical) controls, change plugged control setups, and control of the machine over to the plugged "regime". By the same token, the plugged "scheme" should be able to hand back over control of the machine to the memory stored control scheme at some point in its sequence.
von Neumann: "Analog Procedure" and "Digital Procedure" (The Computer and the Brain)
Two different types of computers: analog and digital. In analog, numbers are represented by physical quantities of something, that, when measured, correspond to the number in question. For instance, voltage. You push 1 volt through, and it's measured as equaling the number 1. From there, components compute basic arithmetic ( + – * / ).
Digital Procedure
On digital machines, numbers are represented as decimal digits, the same as when we write them. Each decimal digit is represented by a system of 'markers.' A marker could be an electric signal in a wire, or its absence, for example. So, this marker can have two states (present, not present).
1 marker = 1, 0 = 2 combinations.
2 markers = 00, 01, 10, 11 = 4 combinations (not enough)
3 markers = 000, 001, 010, 100, 011, 101, 110, 111 = 8 combinations (not enough)
4 markers = 16 combinations (more than enough!)
So, for each decimal digit, four markers must be used. Markers could be a group of four wires, where the electric pulse is present or not present. Or they could be electric pulses with positive or negative polarity, or could be other systems. So the minimum needed is four markers. And these pulses would be controlled by various gates. Another option is a ten-valued marker represented, say, by ten wires, each either being on or off! Overkill, but works.
Vacuum tubes, and transistors are types of digital machines.
If a number is being passed around a machine temporally, it can either be done so simultaneously (parallel), or in serial (one after another).
The author expresses these in binary, and I do not understand, particularly, what he's talking about. From what I gather, the point of his discussion is that the basic operations ( + – * / ) are performed through lengthy, repetitive logical processes. We're so used to doing these calculations in our heads and on paper that the complex nature of the processes are obscured.

Mark Rosenstein is a restaurant consultant and executive director of the Roots Foundation, which works to build thriving gardens as a central feature of learning at schools, as well as sources of healthy food and community building.
Mark began his professional cooking career in 1972, opening the Frog & Owl Café in Highlands, North Carolina. Located in an idyllic spot on Buck Creek Road, the restaurant featured simple French food. Due as much to necessity, Mark and his wife Jerri, relied on the farms, streams, and woods close by. Fresh trout from Icenhower's trout farm, a stone's throw from the kitchen and three local gardens—Harper's, Deal's and Zahner's, which were visited daily, were the foundation of the menu. Thus started what is now a lifetime of cooking with what is local, seasonal and on hand.
Moving to Asheville in 1979, Mark opened The Market Place restaurant, continuing with the theme of fresh, seasonal and local, as well as expanding the kitchen's reach to an international scale. For thirty years, he was at the stove, cooking, inventing, and teaching. "Graduates" of that kitchen can be found in Singapore, Chicago, Atlanta, and Portland, Oregon as well as in Asheville.
In those thirty years, he was central to the revival of local food and helped establish "Foodtopia" in Asheville—a wondrous collection of farmers, foragers, producers, and chefs. Along the way, he authored a book: In Praise of Apples.
Selling the restaurant to William Dissen in 2009, he took his skills and connections and, along with Michel Baudouin, Steve Frabitore, and Asheville Independent Restaurants, established the Kitchen Ready training program—a kitchen-based skills training program for individuals suffering in poverty.

Tour Itinerary
We pick up in Perth at 6am, getting out of the city nice and early our first stop is Nambung National Park, home of the Pinnacles.
From here we continue our trek north to Kalbarri National Park, we explore some of the coastal areas of Kalbarri in the afternoon which can include sections of the Bigurda Trail & Eagle Gorge. After a bit of outdoor action we'll head for our first bush camp of the tour.
Our bush camping is something which sets us apart and one of the great experiences that we will have on tour. We seek out camping spots which are located in beautiful wilderness areas and immerse ourselves in the landscape. Where possible we have a campfire and we use swags and tents, swags can be used under the stars or in the tents.
Our first campsite is located on private property along the Murchison River.
- Nambung National Park
- Pinnacles Desert
- Kalbarri Coast
- Camp: Private Wilderness Camp on Station Country – River Side
- Activities: Hiking approx 3km
2.The beauty of bush camping is that we rise with the sun and get moving early. From our river camp we head back into Kalbarri National Park where we explore the inland gorges of the park including Murchison Gorge & Natures Window.
From Kalbarri we head north towards Shark Bay and Monkey Mia, we have an awesome camp right on Shark Bay just metres from the World Heritage Listed waters edge, immersed in total wilderness and surrounded by nature we can soak it all up around the campfire.
- Kalbarri National Park
- Optional Abseiling (at own expense)

3.We rise nice and early and head for Monkey Mia, our camp is only accessible by 4WD so we take on some sand dunes and stop in a Hemelin Pool and Shell Beach on the way to meet the dolphins.
Arriving at Monkey Mia we spend some quality time with the Dolphins and participate in a feeding session.
Wild dolphins have been visiting the shoreline at Monkey Mia virtually every day for over 40 years, making this spot in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area one of the best and most reliable places for dolphin interaction in the world.
The dolphin interactions are regulated by rangers and a few lucky visitors are selected to hand-feed the dolphins a small amount of fish.
From Monkey Mia we wave goodbye to our aquatic friends and head for Coral Bay
We access another another private wilderness camp under the stars, complete with sunset, stars and campfire.
- Shark Bay & Monkey Mia
- Hemelin Pool

Seattle Daily Journal Of Commerce

The Seattle Times
Seattle's East Link light rail extension project is said to be completed in 2023 and will attract about 50,000 riders a day, says Yonah Freemark. In addition, the city council wants a section of the line to be tunneled under Downtown Bellevue.

'Fortnite' Mania Spreads As Game Debuts On Nintendo Switch
One of the most successful and popular video games in recent history, "Fortnite," is now available on one of the most successful and popular video game platforms -- the Nintendo Switch.
What Happened
Nintendo Switch owners can play "Fortnite" for the first time ever Tuesday, which coincides with Nintendo's (OTC: NTDOY) E3 presentation in Los Angeles, The Verge reported. The video game is already available on PC, PS4, Xbox One and iOS platforms and will be released to Android phones at some point in the summer.
Why It's Important
"Fortnite," made by Epic Games, isn't showing any signs of slowing down in popularity, The Verge said. The video game maker introduced its fourth season, saw success in a crossover with "Avengers: Infinity War" and will allocate $100 million for competitive play over the next year.
Investors looking for exposure to the success of "Fortnite" may want to look at accessory makers for gamers, like Turtle Beach Corp (NASDAQ: HEAR). The company makes headsets with microphones, which is an important component of the video game.
"Each game is unique and each game has its own story," NPD Group's video game software analyst Mat Piscatella told Benzinga last month. "The chat and how people communicate within the game leads to some really fun scenarios."
What's Next
"Fortnite" contributed nearly $300 million in profit in the month of April alone for its parent company, The Verge also reported. An expansion into the Nintendo ecosystem on Tuesday followed by a planned expansion into Android would likely generate even more profit.
Nintendo shares spiked to an intra-day high of $48.44 following the E3 presentation, but pared those gains at time of publication.

Ponzu Citrus Soy Sauce
Ponzu is a soy sauce with a fine citrus flavour and one of the most popular seasoning sauces in Japan. It tastes deliciously tart and tangy, enhancing the flavour of all kinds of dishes. Our Ponzu Citrus Soy Sauce is based on Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce.
Versatile in use
Ponzu Citrus Soy Sauce is the perfect seasoning for many different foods. It jazzes up summery salad dressings and enriches the taste of pasta, vegetables and tofu. Add it to the food straight from the bottle or mix it with a little oil to create a delicious Asian vinaigrette. As a dip sauce Ponzu Citrus Soy Sauce can be eaten with sushi, sashimi, deep-fried seafood and other types of finger food. In remoulades it tastes great with fresh fish. Or add a splash of pure Ponzu to finished barbecued steak for a fresh flavour explosion! And it's also delicious as a marinade for chicken kebabs. Last, but not least, it adds the finishing touch to Japanese specialities such as shabu-shabu, a kind of fondue.

Menilik Jejak Kompak SUV Mewah BMW X1 di Indonesia. Everyone knows that when it rains 2 wheelers are verry dangerous, however when my scooter had the manufacturing facility rollers it was verry unlikley to spin off the rear wheal and crash as a result of the engine did't have enaugh power at low speeds, NOW if I pull the throtle to much the rear wheal goes crazy.\n\nCombining the Land Cruiser tradition of genuine energy with clever modern styling, the Prado is as assured in the metropolis as it is off-highway. This trendy Acura is certainly one of our favorites because of its fuel-efficient, but powerful V-6, comfortable interior and lengthy record of ordinary options.\n\nThe instrument panel display reveals the particular standing. With a typical forty/20/40 cut up fold down rear seat, inside, Stelvio options cargo compartment storage hooks, and an accessible adjustable rail system to transform any trip into a journey and each highway into an adventure.\n\nI've owned a Honda Civic (the one on the list) and my god it was the perfect car ever. When a side or rear blind spot is encroached upon, for instance by one other driver changing lanes, illuminated icons appear in the door mirrors and an audible alert is sounded.\n\nHmm, if your energy steering fluid degree is okay and your power steering is whining(probably the excessive pitch squeal you are listening to) then your power steering pump is probably not working. I have never owned any of those, and a few I'm really shocked are on the list.

Design Inspiration: Note #1
One important source comes from Greeting Cards. I collect them and have baggies full of them. Shoe boxes also. For the most part I keep them divided into categories: houses, gardens, house furnishings, hearts, Christmas, Valentine's Day and so forth.
For example, a very useful card I found several years ago pictured a chest of drawers. Not particularly a chest of drawers I would replicate, but I liked the way the artist had painted the shading on the drawers and the bunches of tiny flowers between the drawer knobs. I have never stitched a chest of drawers that looks like the one on the card, but it inspired the way I have constructed several of the chests of drawers I have stitched.
Of course I have practical Greeting Cards too, for girlfriends and birthdays and such. Occasionally I find cards I love so much that I have to keep them. I have two all-time favorite cards and I can never decide which is my favorite. I thought I would write about both, even though they don't relate to my designs or needlepoint.
FIRST CARD is a birthday card but it contains certain Universal Truths about marriage:
On the cover are three blind mice who are covering sensitive parts of their anatomies with their paws as the card sings:
Three blind mice, three blind mice, see how they run, see how they run, they all ran away from John Bobbit's wife who cut off their **** with a carving knife...
Open the card and inside: so be nice to your wife, be nice to your wife, from someone on the cutting edge.
SECOND CARD is a Far-Side card and it speaks to the Philosophy of Life:
The four personality types:
1. The glass is half full
2. The glass is half empty
3. The glass is half full, no it is half empty, no it is half full, etc.
4. Hey, where's my cheeseburger.
I would say that most of us who grapple in creative pursuits probably belong to personality type 4.
Meanwhile, today is the 26th of March. Less than a week to go till I post the first Surprise Mystery Window.
Gay Ann
3 comments:
- Zembroider said...
The card about the mice, had me rolling on the floor laughing.
Thanks for the chuckle. Actually, I'm glad you are not incorporating this card into a sampler.
- MaryAnn said...
I sent Gay Ann a post,
off line and she asked me to share it with you.
One of my nursing friend's son was a police officer in Northern Virginia the night Mrs. Bobbitt decided to go on her slashing spree. As luck would have it, her son found the missing member, thus enabling Mr.Bobbitt to start a new career in in films.
- Geneva said...
Please look on the back of the three blind mice card and let me know the company that did this. My husband and I bought this card several years ago and mailed it to my brother in law. He loved and and took it to work and showed it to tons of people. I wished we bought a second one to keep for ourselves. We have talked about it many times and had great laughs about it!

Roger Federer has said he's not sad to see compatriot Martina Hingis is retiring.
Hingis announced on Thursday that she will cease playing following the WTA Finals in Singapore.
It will be the third time the 37-year-old Swiss former Wimbledon champion has called time on her career – but this time she really means it.
'I think now it's definite,' said the now-doubles-specialist. 'It's different, because before I walked away thinking I might come back.'
Federer used his press conference following victory over Benoit Paire at the Swiss Indoor tournament in Basel to say how influential she had been on his career.
'Martina was partially the one who showed me how it was all done,' he said on Thursday.
'It was great for Switzerland to have someone of her calibre. We were very lucky. I loved playing with her at the Hopman Cup, she was always super friendly, I love that about her.'
Federer went on to explain why he wasn't sad at hearing the news that Hingis's career was about to be over.
'I'm not sad to see her retire, she's been in the game for long enough, she seems at peace with her decision – that's wonderful.
'I've always been a fan of her and I always will be.'

Krappe Read preview Excerpt On April 28, 1937 the Basque town of Guernica was reported destroyed by German bombing planes flying for General Franco. Picasso, already an active partisan of the Spanish Republic, went into action almost immediately. He had been commissioned in January to paint a mural for the Spanish Government Building at the Paris World's Fair; but he did not begin to work until May 1st, just two days after the news of the catastrophe.Picasso has given no detailed explanation of Guernica. Briefly, one sees: at the right a woman with arms raised falling from a burning house, another rushing in toward the center of the picture; at the left a mother with a dead child, and on the ground the hollow fragments of a warrior's figure, one hand clutching a broken sword near which a flower is growing. At the center of the canvas is a dying horse pierced by a spear hurled or dropped from above; at the left a bull stands surveying the scene, apparently unmoved. Between the heads of the bull and the horse is a bird with upraised open beak. Above, to the right of the center a figure leans from a window holding a lamp which throws an ineluctable light upon the carnage. And over all shines the radiant eye of night with an electric bulb for a pupil.Guernica is painted entirely in black, white, and grey. There is no modeling and most of the drawing is quite flat in effect with only occasional foreshortening as in the hands of the fallen warrior or the mouth of the horse. But however flat the style there are indications of space in the perspective lines in the upper corners.The composition is clearly divided in half; and the halves are cut by diagonals which together form an obvious, gable-shaped triangle starting with the hand at the left, the foot at the right, and culminating at the top of the lamp in the center--a triangle which suggests the pedimental composition of a Greek temple.Many of the motifs in the Guernica appear in his previous work. The Dream and Lie of Franco with its bull ring symbolism is of course a direct prelude. The bullfight series of 1933-35 provides the shrieking horse; the Crucifixion of 1930 is comparable in its iconographic complexity and certain details. Above all the Minotauromachy anticipates the Guernica in the important dramatic relationship between the bull and the woman holding the lamp over the dying horse--though in the etching of 1935 the symbols perhaps concern personal rather than public experience.Dated May 1st, the drawing (plate 34) is the first composition study for the Guernica. It is a shorthand note showing the bull at the left, the horse lying on its back in the center, and, at the right, the house with the lamp-holding figure leaning out of the window.On May 9th he made the final study for the composition as a whole (plate 47). By May 11th Picasso had outlined the picture on the 26-foot canvas, but thereafter he made radical revisions in the composition as he painted. For instance, shortly before the completion of . . .

Chanderpaul's 122 not out, overtaking Sachin Tendulkar's record and putting him sixth on the all-time scorers' list, left the tourists at 367 all out before New Zealand finished day two of the third Test on 156-3. Ross Taylor, seeking his third century in as many Tests, was on 56 and Brendon McCullum was on 11 after New Zealand lost openers Hamish Rutherford and Peter Fulton cheaply. Taylor stood in a 95-run partnership with Kane Williamson (58), the second victim for Sunil Narine who was called into the side after Shane Shillingford's ban for an illegal action.
The many variations in the twin spin assault of Narine and Veerasammy Permaul caused multiple problems for the New Zealand batsmen, who struggled to read the turning ball. Williamson, playing on his home wicket, said the spin was not expected when New Zealand won the toss. "Hence why we bowled first. I've never seen it spin like that but that's the card we've been dealt and we've needed to turn up with a change of game plan as a batting unit to face a lot spin on a wicket that's very much conducive to spin bowling."
The quirky style of Narine was particularly troublesome, he added. "He's very tough to pick. You can see it at times but he bowls at such a pace it's very hard to adjust your shot." But the real honours for the West Indies lay with Chanderpaul, who came to the rescue and rewrote the record books into the bargain when the tourists were in trouble at 86-5 on the first day.
His 200-run partnership with Denesh Ramdin (107) and late cameo stands with Permaul (20) and Tino Best (25) gave the West Indies a respectable total to defend. When Chanderpaul reached his 29th Test hundred by smacking Tim Southee past gully to the boundary, he immediately went down on his knees to kiss the pitch. It was a gesture to celebrate the hundred as well as the achievement of batting his team out of trouble as the West Indies, 1-0 down in the series, fight to win the third and final Test.
"We talk about what we're going to do and how we're going to execute our plans and I was really happy that we were able to do it," he said. "I wish we had a wicket as good as this in the Caribbean but we don't." Chanderpaul's 122 not out lifted him to 11,199 runs from his 153 Tests, overtaking Allan Border (11,174) as the sixth most prolific run-scoring Test batsmen, and 754 behind fifth-placed Brian Lara.
His 17th unbeaten century also put the 39-year-old one ahead of recently retired Indian great Tendulkar as the batsman holding the most unbeaten Test hundreds. New Zealand made an uncertain start to their response with openers Fulton and Rutherford struggling to find runs and both removed by snappy catches by Darren Sammy. The West Indies captain, celebrating his 30th birthday, just snuck his fingers under the ball at ground level to have Rutherford caught and bowled for 10.
The introduction of spin saw Fulton out for 11 when he flicked the third delivery from Narine down the leg side where Sammy grasped a sharp, reflex catch.
But while the spinners kept Williamson and Taylor guessing, and beat the bat several times, the partnership survived 34 overs before Narine trapped Williamson lbw.
McCullum appeared mesmerised by Narine at first and could not get bat to ball with the first two deliveries he faced before he belted two boundaries to try to put the spinners off-line.
For the West Indies, Narine has two for 43 off 22 overs. Southee produced the best bowling figures for New Zealand in the West Indies innings, taking four for 79, while Corey Anderson took three for 47. New Zealand won the second Test by an innings and 73 runs, snapping a year-long win drought, while the first Test of the series was drawn.

The FBI defines a mass murder as one where three or more people were killed in one event. A 25-year-old woman identified as Adacia Chambers plowed into a crowd at an Oklahoma State University homecoming parade. She killed four people, including a two-year-old boy. Now the woman is facing 2nd degree murder charges. CNS News reported:
"I absolutely can rule out alcohol," Coleman [Chambers' attorney] told a press conference in Oklahoma City, adding that he had spoken to her aunt, grandmother and boyfriend and all had said she was not drinking. He added it was his opinion that she suffers from a mental illness and said there were warning signs from her behavior before the crash, including an inability to sleep.
"She doesn't remember a whole lot about what happened. There was a period where I think … she could have even blacked out," Coleman said. Chambers only recalls people removing her from the car and being extremely confused, he said.
Messages to Stillwater police seeking comment on Chambers' statements weren't immediately returned.
Chambers' father, Floyd Chambers of Oologah, told The Oklahoman newspaper Saturday he couldn't believe his daughter was involved and said she was not an alcoholic. Floyd Chambers couldn't be reached for comment Sunday by The Associated Press.
Adacia Chambers is being held in the Payne County jail and is set for an initial court hearing Monday, police said.
Witnesses of the crash described a scene of chaos as bodies flew into the air from the impact and landed on the road. Three adults and a 2-year-old boy, who wasn't immediately identified, were killed and at least 46 others were hurt, including at least four critically injured. Hospitals initially said five were critically injured, but one of those was upgraded to fair condition on Sunday.
Police are awaiting results of lab tests to see if she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The woman's attorney said that we should rule out alcohol, because she didn't smell of alcohol after the crash, and those who were with her prior to the crash said that she hadn't been drinking. Her attorney believes that she's mentally ill.
This obviously isn't the first time someone suspected of being mentally ill or on mind-altering drugs (or both) committed a mass murder. In fact, one factor that seems to show up in just about every mass murder these days is mind-altering pharmaceutical drugs. The media and political sphere of course don't talk a whole lot about the drug aspect in these killings. The media make way too much money from Big Pharma to say anything critical about them. They'd rather blame an inanimate object that mass murderers often use to commit their crimes.
In this woman's case, Chambers didn't opt for a firearm. She decided to use her car. But no one really seems to care about her car. If she had used a handgun to kill four people and injure dozens more, the media wouldn't just be talking about her being charged with 2nd degree murder and the possibility of her being under the influence. They'd focus almost solely on her gun of choice. They prefer it when murderers use semi-automatic rifles. Handguns are okay too, but they're not as scary-looking as AR-15s. They would be calling for more gun control laws. But since she used a car, they won't talk a whole lot about it. It's not much of a news story. Perhaps it is time to ban cars.

Keep Your Edge
After eons of planning, recruiting candidates, and interviewing top applicants, you've triumphed. Finding the perfect candidate for the position means the work is finally over.
Or is it?
Onboarding programs are one of the most influential talent processes impacting new hires. And a thorough onboarding checklist will guide your program and facilitate the employee's journey.
HR leaders know that successful employee onboarding processes decrease turnover rates and improve engagement, productivity, and satisfaction—which are powerful influencers of the employee experience.
Onboarding employees using a new hire checklist should be a continuous process, with the best programs lasting at least 90 days.
For the ideal outcome—employees who are aware of and committed to your corporate culture and business needs—leaders need to engage in the onboarding process. Yet managers all too often find themselves explaining the importance of a well-structured program to decision makers. And stressing that they can't underestimate it.
Managers must emphasize that investing in quality employee orientation upfront saves the entire organization time and resources in the long term. Because companies thrive when they prioritize their employees.
Unite leaders and managers in developing a thoughtful onboarding checklist, bearing in mind that each one may need to be tailored to the individual hire.
You've conquered the candidate experience. Your organization's attractive employer brand and smooth interview process won over your top recruit.
Employee onboarding plans begins before the first day—once they accept the offer, their onboarding experience is defined by the journey that follows.
The best talent values punctuality, organization, and hospitality. Preparation for the first day will have a lasting effect on teams and their new hires.

It's about everyone's first impressions.
The way managers lead a first-day employee onboarding plan sets the tone for much of a new hire's tenure and shapes their wider talent experience.
So what does the first day look like?
Managers ought to spend quality time integrating employees during their first week. Connect with them to show that leaders and other managers are invested in their success and the overall workplace culture.
The right peers have tools that are instrumental to a new hire's well-being and overall employee experience.
You might be wondering, who's part of a resourceful cohort of peers? And how can managers engage them?
Hand-picked for you: Putting Learning at the Heart of Talent Strategy
The best onboarding programs exceed compliance—sending an unmistakable message that a new hire will be able to grow professionally in their position and at the organization. Throughout their first 90 days, demonstrate that everyone's invested in their success.
Not only will this increase employee retention across the board, you'll also deepen engagement. Growth and career development are sure strategies for retaining talent.
What does an employee growth plan encompass?
If all this sounds like work, that's because it is. Getting onboarding right demands forethought, preparation, an engaged and enthusiastic manager, and smart HR systems to help make it all happen. But the payoff is huge.
When employees are effectively onboarded, they work harder, increase discretionary effort, and are less likely to leave the company.
The impact of a stellar onboarding program compounds with each new hire, creating a virtuous cycle of engagement that will enable your organization to stand out as an employer of choice.

Glendalough, Ireland
>> Thursday, March 27, 2008
Yet another installment of my trip to Ireland. Lots of info and a few photos of the monastic site of Glendalough, founded in the 6th century. It has a beautiful round tower and lovely church.
Here's a photo I took of the girls sitting on "steps" over the rock wall. It was cold, sleeting and windy that day. But what did we care? We were in Ireland!

Sometimes referred to as the Godfather of New Zealand music TV, Kevan Moore was behind some of the iconic entertainment shows (Let's Go, C'mon) of the 1960s and 70s. Joining television at its birth, Moore was also responsible for shaping early current affairs content (eg Town and Around), and devising popular astronomy show The Night Sky.
Kevan Moore was a driving force behind many of our early TV music shows such as C'Mon, Happen Inn and Freeride. He also produced popular shows Night Sky, Frost Over New Zealand, and magazine show Town and Around. Having helped launch South Pacific Television and become its Head of Production, Moore left broadcasting to set up his own production company.
The decade of fondue and flares also cooked up colour television. Our black and white living room icons — from Selwyn Toogood to Space Waltz — melted into a Kiwi kaleidoscope of Top Town, Grunt Machine, and Close to Home. And 'our stories' and rights fights — boks, hikoi, nukes and 'nam — echoed onscreen (Sleeping Dogs, Tangata Whenua). Ready to roll?
Auckland Museum's Volume exhibition told the story of Kiwi pop music. It's time to turn the speakers up to 11, for NZ On Screen's biggest collection yet. Turning Up the Volume showcases NZ music and musicians. Drill down into playlists of favourite artists and topics (look for the orange labels). Plus NZOS Content Director Kathryn Quirk on NZ music on screen.
This NZ Music Month collection showcases NZ music television, spun from a playlist of classic documentaries and beloved music shows. From Split Enz to the NZSO, Heavenly Pop Hits to Hip Hop New Zealand, whether you count the beat or roll like this, there's something here for all ears (and eyes). Plus music writer Chris Bourke gets Ready to Roll with this pop history primer.
It's Academic was an 80s general knowledge quiz show for high school students. Like its intermediate school sibling The W Three Show (aka W3), It's Academic was hosted by Lockwood Smith. With his Cheshire cat's grin the future Speaker of the House pulls questions from the numbered pockets, as teams from Onslow, Wellington and Newlands colleges — seated in the distinctive triangular pod set — compete in the Wellington regional final. At stake are brainiac bragging rights, school pride ... and digital watches, Britannica encyclopedias and handheld calculators.
In 2010 TVNZ's Heartland channel celebrated the 50th anniversary of television in New Zealand by producing a decade by decade survey. This interview, taken from the 1960s instalment, sees the late Ray Columbus interviewed by Andrew Shaw. The pioneer of pop music in New Zealand reflects on the role that TV played in his career, from Club Columbus to C'Mon, to co-creating That's Country. He muses on being a pop star in front of the camera, and working behind the scenes in television. Shaw asks him to rate the best song he's recorded and his best TV performance.
This edition of Prime TV's history of New Zealand television looks at 50 years of entertainment. The smorgasbord of music, comedy and variety shows ranges from 60s pop stars to Popstars, from the anarchy of Blerta to the anarchy of Telethon, from Radio with Pictures to Dancing with the Stars. Music television moves from C'mon and country, to punk and hip hop videos. Comedy follows the formative Fred Dagg and Billy T, through to Eating Media Lunch and 7 Days. A roll call of New Zealand entertainers muse on seeing Kiwis laugh, sing and shimmy on the small screen.
Taken from hit music show C'mon, this short clip has Mr Lee Grant performing his first number one hit 'Opportunity'. After leaping to attention — and suffering an awkward landing — he recovers quickly to offer a jaunty performance on a psychedelic set, complete with American flag motif. The song (a cover version) charted in May 1967, helping cement Mr Lee Grant's position as one of the country's premier pop stars. He would top the local charts twice more — and come close another time — before leaving New Zealand in March 1968, in an attempt to conquer the United Kingdom.
Thanks to You topped the New Zealand music charts three weeks after its release in 1967, and earned Mr Lee Grant the Loxene Golden Disc Award. In this performance on C'mon, introduced by the legendary Peter Sinclair, he performs the hit in a distinctive three piece suit against a changing psychedelic backdrop. Mr Lee Grant's Kiwi tour was split between shows for his sometimes hysterical teenage fans, and cabaret shows for the adults. The combination made him one of the country's most popular acts, and saw him named 1967's Entertainer of the Year at the NEBOA awards.
