Program Overview
The Sprout Producer Program is a one year long program includes a series of educational units including both on farm and off farm topics, farm field days and mentoring sessions to support and develop any producer to achieve their goals, creating significant future benefits for them as individuals as well as their business and the Tasmanian community.
This program is for any small producer, growing food to sell fresh or value-add or farming stock of any kind, and they can be at any stage in their journey. We have producers in the Program who are at the very beginning of their journey from idea to realisation, and we have others who have many wins on the board but are looking for guidance in the next phase of their journey. It is this mix of both farm type and stage of journey that we feel brings about incredible diversity to the conversations and support that comes from each cohort of producers completing the Program. There is so much that can be learned from others, even if they are striving to achieve different versions of success.
1) Induction is with Sprout and a small group of producers, you get to meet your cohort of fellow SPP participants, meet sponsors, enjoy lunch and then take part in an afternoon business planning session with one of our Sprout subject matter experts.
2) The educational units include both core subjects and electives, which cover topics such as Finance and business planning, Marketing, Ecommerce, Social media, Value-adding, Market gardening, Soil health, Freight and Logistics and Exporting, just to name a few.
3) Additionally, during the first year as a Sprout Producer, they participate in six on-farm Sprout Producer days where they get to visit other Sprout Producers and see what issues they have and learn about how they do things, as well as sharing in the mentorship of a Sprout Board or subcommittee member or sponsor on-site during the farm walk-through; and
4) Producers are also offered four free half-hour phone or Skype mentoring sessions on any area they need help in. Mentoring can exceed the half an hour per session and will be charged at a reduced hourly rate.
The key benefits include:
- Access to a network of knowledgable mentors with diverse skills
- Access to customers and sponsors
- Opportunity to learn about soil health, business planning, marketing and more
- Becoming a part of a community of producers who provide support and friendship
- Opportunity for media coverage
Scholarships & Sponsors
The program is offered as a fully paid scholarship, which is made possible from generous donations from individuals in our local community, or from local organisations here in Tasmania. This scholarship is worth $2,000 per producer.
We would like to say thank you to our Sprout Producer Program Sponsors for making the scholarships in the program available for the 4th year in a row, for 2018.
Tasmanian Women in Agriculture
We would also like to acknowledge the support from individuals who donate funds through to Sprout, to enable these scholarship to continue.
If you are interested in becoming a Sprout Producer, get in touch with Jennifer Robinson, our General Manager to register your interest - firstname.lastname@example.com
Hear from our past and current SPP participants
The 2018 scholarship recipients have been announced, click here to read about them.
Lisa Britzman & David Peck – Campo de Flori (SPP 2017, current)
"We know we would have been lost without Sprout this year and they have helped to turn our farm around and we believe we have accomplished the goals we had in mind when we came to Sprout a year ago and that Campo de Flori may now have a bright future. Most importantly it has given us the confidence that we need to move forward."
Hermione Hickling – Longley Organic Farm (SPP 2017, current)
"We have gained confidence, networks and skills to take our business to the next level! Their (Sprout's) model is highly effective; I think they are a much needed support for the small farm sector in Tasmania."
Trish MacFarlane – Three Peaks Organics (SPP 2015, graduate)
"I want people to know how important Sprout and the Spout Producers Program is for small producers. It gives us a voice (sometimes when we have lost our own) and the ability to build relationships with many different people across many different spectrums of business, from farming to accounting, soil, water, product diversification, markets, branding, etc. It is the entire reason our farm is where it is today as it has pointed us in the right direction after having been completely pulled apart piece by piece on our field day (all those years ago) and to then be completely refocused and rebuilt. If it was not for the ongoing support and guidance from Sprout that many of us have, we may well have closed our doors by now."

What is it?
HIV is a virus that attacks the human immune system. Infection with HIV usually leads to AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). HIV is carried in body fluids and is spread by having unprotected vaginal or anal sex with an infected person. It is also (rarely) transmitted during oral sex. There are very few reports of HIV being transmitted from one woman to another by sexual activity. Sharing needles can spread the virus. It can also pass from a pregnant woman to her unborn child although there are drugs that can be taken by pregnant women to protect their unborn child against HIV. Once a person is infected, they can infect others for life, unless they practice safer sex/safer needle use.
What are the symptoms?
When a person is first infected with HIV, they usually have no symptoms. Sometimes they have a mild 'flu' for a few days that may include fever, headache and swollen glands.
Symptoms of the disease often don't appear until years after a person has been infected. Some of these symptoms include:
How is it diagnosed?
A person is diagnosed as HIV-positive using a blood test that looks for antibodies to the virus. Your body usually begins producing antibodies within 14 weeks from the time you were infected. A negative test before 14 weeks does not prove you are not infected. The test doesn't tell you how long you've been infected or give you information about the damage that HIV may have done to your immune system.
Because HIV is such a serious illness, it is usually recommended that you get counselling both before and after the test. This test should never be done without your consent. In some places in Ontario, you can be tested for HIV without your name being used. Even if you test positive, your name is not reported to the Medical Officer of Health. The AIDS Committee of Toronto provides a list of anonymous testing sites across Ontario and more information about the HIV antibody test. In Toronto the Bay Centre for Birth Control provides anonymous testing with results available in minutes.
A person is diagnosed with AIDS if they test positive for HIV and have at least one of a list of other diseases or infections commonly experienced by people with AIDS. If you test negative for HIV, your partner may still be positive so he/she must be tested also.
Are there any complications?
Because HIV damages the immune system, people with HIV are vulnerable to many different illnesses. Since the immune system cannot fight these infections, they may be fatal if untreated.
How is it treated?
New anti-viral drugs have been developed that are helping people with AIDS live longer. Although these drugs help control the virus they also have side effects that can interfere with a person's life and well being.
Talk to your doctor about when it is best to start these drugs and which ones to use. It is also important for HIV positive people to have any other infections treated promptly.
Should my partner be checked or treated?
Yes. If you can, you should notify your previous and current partners and suggest they be tested for HIV. Positive tests for HIV must be reported to Public Health unless you have had your test done at an anonymous testing site, so a Public Health nurse may contact you to ensure that you and your partners are receiving treatment for this infection.
How can I protect myself from HIV/AIDS?
The best protection from HIV/AIDS is to use a condom for vaginal or anal sex. If you use needles to inject drugs, never share them with another person and follow these tips for safer needle use.
If you have been sexually assaulted, you may wish to receive antiviral drugs aimed at preventing HIV infection. At the Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Care Centre at Women's College Hospital, people who have been sexually assaulted can receive 4 weeks of preventative antiviral treatment. Treatments must begin as soon as possible after the assault (within 72 hours). People in the Toronto area, who need information about this program, can call (416)-323-6040.

St. Kitts Transportation
You'll fly into Robert L Bradshaw International Airport (SKB). If you're flying from New York, Atlanta, Charlotte or Miami, you might be able to find a direct flight into St. Kitts. Otherwise, you can find connecting flights from San Juan, St. Martin, Antigua, and other Caribbean islands.
Immigration & Customs
A valid passport and a return ticket are needed when traveling to St. Kitts. Before leaving the island, travelers will have to pay a departure tax directly to airport staff, not to the airlines like other countries. You can pay in local money or in US dollars. The total is $22.00.
Getting to Your Hotel
CheapCaribbean.com has partnered with Tropical Tours as our premier transportation company in St. Kitts. They'll provide you with safe, comfortable and professional transportation, from the airport to your hotel and back.
It's easy to find your Tropical Tours team when you arrive at the airport.

Vehicles are all clean, modern and reliable.
Tropical Tours is also the official transportation rep for CheapCaribbean.com excursions when you book vacations to St. Kitts on our site.
Getting Around St. Kitts
To get around the island, taxis and buses are available. The buses look like minivan taxis. To distinguish between the two, if the front has an "H", then it's a private bus. If it has a "T", then it's a taxi.

text: Cars were burning on a highway as drivers scrambled to safety [Reuters] A fast-moving brush fire in the Southern California foothills overran a packed highway in a mountain pass, destroying four structures and torching 20 vehicles as drivers abandoned their cars and scrambled to safety. The wildfire, which broke out on Friday afternoon in the drought-parched foothills of San Bernardino County, had grown from two square-kilometres to more than 14 square-kilometres in a matter of hours, according to the US Forest Service. The blaze ripped down a portion of the Interstate 15 highway that links Southern California and Las Vegas, forcing about 60 drivers to flee their cars on Cajon Pass. There have been no injuries, the US Forest Service said. Journalist Jim Dalrymple tweeted the following footage from the area. Here's the moment the burning semi truck burst into a fire ball. #NorthFire https://t.co/yrapD4xCpg — Jim Dalrymple II (@JimDalrympleII) July 18, 2015 Lance Andrade, a 29-year-old railroad conductor, was stopped in traffic when the fire jumped the highway and panicked people started running towards him. He also ran, but with flames all around, there was nowhere to go. He, four other men, and two elderly women got inside the back of a semi-truck. One of the women had been separated from her family began crying, and everyone was terrified. "You could hear the explosions from people's vehicle tyres popping from the heat," Andrade told the AP news agency. "You could hear crackling, smoke was coming in every direction. You could feel the heat. We just waited it out and prayed to God." Television images showed fire-fighting aircraft dropping water onto burning vehicles. Several cars and two tractor-trailer rigs, one carrying new vehicles, were in flames. Four structures have been gutted by flames and several mountain communities were facing possible evacuations as crews battle to contain the blaze, the Forest Service said.

HAMPTON & Solihull Cricket Club captain Mike Palmer picked up the June's Prime Chartered Accountants player of the month award after a string of fine performances.
The reliable batsman has been a key figure this season after consistently hitting big scores when opening the innings at Marsh Lane.
Despite carrying an injury the 44-year-old hit a 63 not out, 34, 57, and 73 in the month's four matches.
But team-mate Richard Lucas nominated the Home Retail Group Operations Manager not only for his impressive scores, but more importantly because of the off-the-field work that he puts into the club.
"He is the driving force behind the club and as well as getting three sides out every weekend he has created a junior section which is coming on very well and is vital to the club and the area.
"His tireless enthusiasm for the game has helped a new Solihull club survive and grow."
John McDonald, managing director of Prime Chartered Accountants agreed Palmer deserved this month's award, although he admitted it was a tough decision with a number of other excellent nominations...SUPL:

As the day continued and the band began getting ready for their next song, our stomachs were finally settling; brining the hangover to a calm. As for the band themselves, their energy was not lost. The Dirty Black Beans continue to perform weekly in local clubs and grow as their jazz-infused selves. With the sun still shining, and our bodies more in control, we began to shoot. Encore Sessions presents the second half of The Dirty Black Beans performance with their song "The Murder Swing".

Tour of Provence June 11-21
Day 8 – June 18 – Visit to Eze – hilltop village on the coast and the Exotic Garden at the top.
Eze is a tourist spot, definitely not off the beaten track! It is a well-known hilltop village – and it is definitely worth walking to the top, but only if you are fit. It is steep walk all on large slippery cobblestones which, if you don't have the right shoes, can be lethal even with no rain. I hate to think how slippery they would be in the rain.
You have to pay before you go into the Exotic Garden and the walking is easier in some ways (gravel not cobblestones) but you can visit the church and the shops without paying anything, except in energy!
This is taken from a website on Eze :
"Eze is a medieval village perched like an eagle's nest on a narrow rocky peak overlooking the Mediterranean sea. The ancient fortified village is still crowned with the ruins of its 12th-century fortified castle (torn down in 1706), sitting on a narrow rocky peak. The castle grounds host the well-known Jardin Exotique, and from the top (429 m) you'll have an great view of the coast.
The village forms a circular pattern around the base of the castle. The old buildings and narrow streets are very well restored, with high stone walls and narrow roadways of red-brick centered stone. The narrow roads wend their way upward to the well sign-posted Jardin Exotique Panorama with its panoramic view."
The Exotic Garden is amazing – it has masses of cacti / succulents, and lovely sculptures by Jean-Philippe Richard – they were what interested me. You can read more about them on Jean-Philippe's website.
The sculptor gave each of them a first name (they are all young females) and the first one you come to is Justine!
And they all had a sign with their name and 3 lines about them.
Margot says: Follow me young man – And you shall know -all my secrets … almost
Melisande says: Who has dreamt me? – Who has created me? – To whom have I said yes?
After we left Eze we drove to Monaco! For a New Zealander that sounds so odd… but drive we did. I was confused as to the difference between Monaco and Monte Carlo – this website explains it in detail, but briefly, Monaco is the country (but to confuse us all, it is also the name of the city). Monte Carlo is just part of the city – a suburb if you like!
We drove around for a little while – there was nowhere that we could stop easily – and when we drove to a parking building, we were told it would cost 20 Euro an hour to park there – we decided it wasn't worth it for a 5 minute photo stop!
Lots of super large yachts in the harbour… a few old buildings that we could see, but the most obvious sign of money were the two lamborghinis (the cars that look like an elephant sat on them) at the petrol station! Corinne said that the petrol stations love lamborghinis as they are such gas guzzlers and need to constantly be refueled.
There is so much building on such a small amount of land and we passed quite a few building sites.
I got a zoomed shot of what I think (via Mr Google) is commemorating – Juan-Manuel Fangio Argentinian Paul Vestey with his GB Mercedes – if it isn't this one (the one I found was in a museum) it looks very like it.
That night we had dinner at Clovis Michelin star restaurant in the village but as it was Father's Day we had the set menu – it was mostly very nice but not as amazing as some meals we had had and the desert let the restaurant down. There was more to the menu but the lighting was no good for photos.

I keep saying that as soon as we've moved into our new flat, I would start doing all the cool things that I always wanted to do. It's easy to say for sure, but sometimes it's not so easy to actually do! This time, it definitely will be, though.
One of the things I've been wanting to do for a while is take pole dancing classes, and I've been checking out Pole Divas. They have a lot of studios and offer both pole, hoops and silks (which, for those of you who are unaware, is that thing circus princesses do when they tangle themselves up in two massive scarfs and then fall all the way down to the floor, miraculously stopping just two inches above it. I'd be terrified but I'm super keen to try). The very best part is that in two weeks (that is one week after we've moved) they are holding an open day! How serendipitous. One of their locations is very close to our flat, so I'm going to go there and check it out! They have one studio in Richmond that is offering a hoops class, which I definitely need to check out as well. Hopefully by Sunday in two weeks I'll know which classes are right for me, and I'll be well on my way to becoming an expert in pole dancing!

Anyone who sends their kid to piano lessons or any other kind of lesson has probably wondered this: At what point will I allow my kid to give up this pursuit if they're not enjoying it, or actively resisting?
Time Ideas has an interesting article about the science of interest (which I didn't know was a thing).
As researcher Suzanne Hidi notes, "Teachers often think that students either have, or do not have, interest, and might not recognize that they could make a significant contribution to the development of students' academic interest."
In fact, research suggests that well-developed personal interests always begin with an external "trigger"—seeing a play, reading a book, hearing someone talk—and that well-designed environments can make such a triggering more likely.
The main things I picked up from this article:
- Be friendly, chatty, engaging
- Model interest by being interested yourself
- We tend to preference intrinsic motivation over extrinsic motivators, but in reality, successful people are driven by both

RISK-TAKING may be staging a comeback overseas.
While equities around the world soared last year, the stock market rebound abroad was decidedly different from the one that sent the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index up 16 percent in 2012.
In the United States, the most economically sensitive stocks, like shares of banks and other financial businesses, posted the biggest gains as investors grew confident that an economic recovery was at hand. Overseas, by contrast, it was the defensive-oriented shares like health care and consumer staples stocks that performed the best for most of the year.
What's more, investors favored stocks in the developed world over riskier but faster-growing emerging markets equities.
This is not all that surprising. "The economic situation abroad in the last 12 to 18 months has either been worse or has slowed more dramatically than in the U.S., creating an even bigger 'risk off' mind-set in those markets," said James W. Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management.
Yet Mr. Paulsen believes that investors' appetite for risk-taking overseas is likely to improve. In fact, that process may have already begun.
Among the early signs are that economically cyclical sectors, like financial stocks in the MSCI EAFE index of foreign equities, have been outperforming defensive areas like health care and consumer staples since December.
Part of this can be attributed to the growing clarity about the state of the global economy, money managers say. It is not so much that the economy is booming, but that some of the greatest potential dangers seem to have receded.
Most prominently, concerns about a euro zone breakup have abated since Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank, declared that the bank would do "whatever it takes" to save the euro. Ever since that announcement, in late July, European equities have been in rally mode.
"In the international markets, you saw the removal of major tail risks last year, particularly in Europe," said Jason A. White, a portfolio specialist at T. Rowe Price.
Meanwhile, fears over China's slowdown seemed to subside at the end of last year on signs that the world's second largest economy was finally beginning to re-accelerate. In November, government data showed that industrial output and retail sales in China grew much faster than expected, bolstering the bullish case for Chinese and emerging-market stocks. Since then, the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index has soared nearly 20 percent.
The improving global economy, though, isn't the only reason risk-taking may be re-emerging.
Money managers note that fear over Europe's debt crisis has been driving investors into defensive-oriented stocks overseas for several years. This is particularly true for shares of consumer companies that manufacture staples like food and household products that continue to be in demand regardless of the health of the economy.
"In an environment where returns for the equity markets were quite poor, you saw very decent returns in those staples," said Harry Hartford, president of Causeway Capital Management. As a result, though, "consumer staples outside the U.S. looks pretty fully priced," he said.
Take Diageo. Shares of the British spirits maker, which has sales in about 180 countries, have climbed more than 26 percent a year for the last three years. That means Diageo shares now trade at a price/earnings ratio of more than 18, based on forecast profits. By comparison, the average P/E for MSCI EAFE stocks is less than 14.
Unilever, the packaged food and household goods company, is another example. In 2008, amid the global financial crisis, the stock was trading at around 11 times earnings. Today, Unilever's P/E ratio stands at 17 times earnings.
"A lot of the defensive industries had big runs, so valuations got extended," said W. George Greig, head of international investing for the asset manager William Blair & Company. As a consequence, he said, "some investors are starting to say that the defensive stocks aren't as defensive as they thought."
NOT all money managers are convinced that the worst of the economic storm is behind us. "We know that after a financial crisis, it takes a long time to recover," said Simon Hallett, chief investment officer for the asset manager Harding Loevner. "We think a conservative approach is still appropriate — there are still an awful lot of things that can go wrong."
Mr. Greig said investors were not seeking economically sensitive stocks out of a newfound sense of euphoria. "This is not a venturesome 'risk on' mind-set," he said. Rather, investors are reluctantly seeking out cyclically oriented stocks because their valuations are so low that they now look compelling, and there may be better values in areas that had been considered riskier.

IN BRIEF - MEPA to monitor plastic usage of fishing trawlers
Thursday, December 12, 2019
Colombo - The Marine Environment Protection Authority (MEPA) has decided to monitor the plastic usage on single and multi-day fishing trawlers. Fishermen take 500 to 1000 1 litre bottles when they head out to sea. These steps are being taken to protect ocean life.
Attention has been drawn to only permit the carrying of 5-litre containers to the ocean. The plan is set to be put into action together with the help of the Sri Lanka Coast Guard.

IN BRIEF - Fishrot probe could take years – Kawana
Acting fisheries minister Albert Kawana says the planned investigation into the fishing sector could take years to complete.
Kawana said people should not expect issues of maladministration, corruption and nepotism in the fishing sector to be fixed in a week, a month or a year, because some of the anomalies could require the government to amend the Marine Resources Act.
The acting minister explained at a media briefing on Monday that he was ordered by president Hage Geingob to investigate if there were any instances of maladministration, corruption and nepotism in the sector.

IN BRIEF - Brexiteer MEP's tirade leaves EU elite speechless 'When did you last speak to fishermen?'
Thursday, December 12, 2019
A furious Brexiteer MEP has lashed out at the EU for destroying UK fisheries, claiming that many British fishermen wouldn't be able to even buy Christmas gifts this year. MEP June Mummery took issue with the controversial EU Common Fisheries Policy - a common target for British fishermen who claim it has ruined their livelihood. Speaking at a debate at the EU's Fisheries Committee, Ms Mummery asked when was the last time any of the EU elite had bothered to speak to any fishermen face-to-face.
The MEP challenged the Fisheries Committee members to get out and "speak to the people" for themselves to better understand the state of the fishing industry.
The question silenced the room, as the Brexit Party MEP went on to outline how British waters had been left "without any fish" because of EU rules.

IN BRIEF - Iceland aquaculture exports triple
Wednesday, December 11, 2019
Figures for October this year, the most recent month for which statistics are available, show that the export value of farmed products of all types totalled 3.1 billion kroner (ISK) or GBP 19.6 million.
While the figures are still a long way short of the total that rivals Norway and Scotland sell overseas in an average month – and are likely to remain so – they show the country is moving up the fish farming league at an impressive rate.
Aquaculture exports were just a fraction of that figure five or six years ago.
If the current trend continues for the final two months of 2019, Iceland's aquaculture exports are expected to reel in more than ISK 24 billion – or around GBP 152 million.

All major demersal species increased in value compared to September last year, cod by 23.6%, haddock by 37% and saithe by 35.4%. Value of pelagic catch was 5.8% less than in September 2018, or about 3.4 billion ISK whereas it was nearly 3.6 billion in 2018. The dominant pelagic species was herring, with value of 2.2 billion ISK. Value of flatfish was 5.1% more than in September 2018 or 590 million ISK.
Total value of catch in the 12 month period from October 2018 to September 2019 was 144.2 million ISK which is a 15.4% increase compared with the same period a year earlier.

If I might rephrase the point that I believe portia is making ... although there might be good reasons for Israel to oppose nukes in Iran and good reasons for the US to oppose nukes in Iran, these are not going to be the same reasons in both countries. They will arise from different backgrounds and be given different weights. So the arguments that might be entirely persuasive from Israel's point of view might not be so from the US point of view.
It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to say that US policy is 'wrong' because it does not reflect the background and weights given to the issue by Israel. It would make sense though to say that US policy is 'wrong' if it contradicts our own background considerations and the weight that we give to various factors within our own strategic policy-making.
As I said previously, I am not a fan of the policy that the US and Europe are pursuing with Iran, but I'm also aware that Mideast policy in the US has been deeply penetrated by the strategic goals of our various intelligence agencies, and these can rarely (in my mind) be fit to the stated policies of the executive branch. In other words, even people who are highly knowledgeable about the Mideast (which I am not at the present time) would be challenged to explain our actions in terms of the policies we publicly avow because so much of what determines our actions is never publicly stated and may even be partly concealed from the President himself (as it was during Iran-Contra). To be even more blunt, it is my suspicion that we take as many actions to create or sustain conflict in the Mideast as we take to reduce or ameliorate conflict, and this is a reflection of intelligence agency agenda that over-arches multiple Presidential administrations.
This is probably not as true for Europe as it is for the US, but I have no idea how much pressure the US' leadership within NATO, for example, puts pressure on European foreign policy.
The chief of NORAD testified before Congress ... yesterday? a day or two ago ... that we are presently vulnerable to invasion by Russia, vulnerable to attack by ICBM, unable to defend Europe ... your basic retread of a 1950s testimony. What was the testimony about? The NORAD budget, of course. It needs to be bigger. Much bigger. Well ... how could I, or any average member of Congress, quantify the threat of Russian ICBMs landing in Newark? It's just completely beyond my scope, or anyone's scope, to assess that risk and assign an appropriate dollar amount to it. We are at the mercy of such strategic assessments; the fear of causing greater vulnerability to all US citizens is a salient and overwhelming fear on the part of Congress. The same uncertainties held in the case of Nicaraguan armies invading Texas, Nigerian yellow cake ending up in Iraq, Russians invading West Germany via East Germany - all of which have been presented as arguments in the past by one or more agencies of government who are 'expert' only in the sense that they know their own deployment capabilities, and are entirely self-interested in a financial outcome. We have no real mechanism for soliciting objective expert testimony beyond the reports of intelligence analysts to subcommittees, and these are choreographed by those intelligence agencies to fit their own agendae. Congress, and also the President, in my opinion, live in a peculiar kind of information vacuum.

George of the Jungle
Ape lives with George, Shep, Tookie, and all the other animals in the jungle. When George first brought Ursula back to the treehouse, she is terrified of him until George tells her that he's harmless. At first, Ursula is shocked to find that Ape can talk. However, she eventually adjusts to it.
When George starts to fall in love with Ursula, he enlists Ape's help to seduce her. He tells George that he should use the same mating technique as a gorilla. But, these attempts did not impress Ursula.
Later on, Tookie flies to San Francisco to tell George that Ape has been captured by Max and Thor. George returns to Africa and tries to fight off Max and Thor. Finally, Ape weds George and Ursula.
At the start of the end credits, Ape orders that the credits stop so that the audience can find out what happened to him. It turns out he has become a major singing star in Las Vegas. Before the credits resume, he sings "My Way" by Frank Sinatra.
George of the Jungle 2
In the sequel, Ape becomes a gambler at Las Vegas and is in debt to several creditors, including Lyle. Lyle, having learned that Ape does not possess the exploitation rights of Ape Mountain (instead George has the exploitation rights to the mountain), he and his new minions Sally and Kowalski break into George's room and steal the deed which is in George's underwear after almost giving up hope.
Upon George's arrival, the two had a big emotional reunion. Ape then teaches George to balance his time with his subjects, and advises him to buy a present to "help Ursula ease her five-year itch".
Later, as George, Ape and Rocky make way for the Jungle, but they find Lyle has sent Sally and Kowalski to capture them, a chase happens but George, Ape and Rocky escape. Their departure triggers much commotion when the police force and the Animal Control Agency join forces to recapture them. George continues his journey back home with Ape, George Jr., an unconscious Ursula, and Rocky the kangaroo. In the jungle, George multi-handedly defeats all the bulldozers with the help of George Junior, Ape, Shep, Rocky and Tookie.
Near the end of the movie, Ape defeats Beatrice Stanhope by giving her a kiss, which leaves her screaming in horror. Later on, after Ursula throws Betsy (whom continues making out with George, acting as if she doesn't remember) aside Ape catches her with his arms, who runs of enamored. He is finally seen at the end of the film during George and Ursula's second wedding.
- In the original cartoon, Ape's voice was meant to sound similar to British actor Ronald Colman. The sequel depicts him as being obsessed with gambling, something that is never even considered in the show.

Koike Aronson Supports Internship Program
Enhancing the future of manufacturing one student at a time
Written by: Michelle Fontaine
In June, we hired Lucas Jackling, a full-time Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) student for an engineering internship. He currently majors in Mechanical Engineering. I had the chance to know Lucas better during his 12-week internship. I was impressed with how well-mannered and intelligent Lucas was. While Lucas collaborated with other co-workers, I would often hear the enthusiasm in his voice about the current challenge he was having, and I would hear of the breakthrough which brought he and his team one step closer to finding the perfect solution. Most of the time, I do not know what the Engineering department is working on, but because we have an open floor plan where no enclosed cubicles exist, it is easy to hear other's conversations.
Friday is quickly approaching, not only is it a great day for most because it starts the weekend, but it is Lucas' last day here at Koike Aronson. Yes, the fun has come to an end my friend! Many of us Koike employees have contributed to take part in a pizza party during our lunch break for Luke, mostly as a Farewell/We will miss you type of party. I don't make it a habit to speak on behalf of others, but I can say that I know many have had a pleasant working experience with Luke!
"I really enjoyed my internship here as I was given a fair amount of challenges and responsibilities which greatly enhanced my experience; I couldn't have asked for a better internship." Luke was really candid while talking with me. He's a great guy and a hard worker!
We wish you great success, Lucas, and hope that our paths may cross again in the future, preferably right after you have graduated!
Michelle Fontaine is the Marketing Coordinator for Koike Aronson, Inc.
She has 6 years of marketing experience. She enjoys being a part of the
cutting and welding manufacturing industry as it has given her the
opportunity to work for a great company that truly cares about her.

Web design training courses have many objectives. These are the most important:
To produce web site designers whose work far exceeds the industry standard To develop companies' in-house capability in business critical web technologies To enhance companies' strategic independence and profitability by adhering to official website design standards
Any moderately talented clerical worker should be capable of commercial quality web pages after attending a basic website design training course. Which is why we are surprised that so many companies still outsource web site design to excruciatingly expensive PR agencies who often know less about the technology than averagely web savvy clerical workers.
Contrary to popular opinion, the 'secrets' of good web site design aren't difficult to learn, are easy to apply, and are not remotely secret. The principles are all well documented in publicly available international standards. Our website design training courses teach students those standards and how to use them.
In most cases, expensive website design software and 'application servers' are quite unnecessary. All of the tools required, and especially the most productive tools, are freely available as open source software packages.
