About the Author
Read an Excerpt
It was 7 minutes after midnight. The dog was lying on the grass in the middle of the lawn in front of Mrs Shears' house. Its eyes were closed. It looked as if it was running on its side, the way dogs run when they think they are chasing a cat in a dream. But the dog was not running or asleep. The dog was dead. There was a garden fork sticking out of the dog. The points of the fork must have gone all the way through the dog and into the ground because the fork had not fallen over. I decided that the dog was probably killed with the fork because I could not see any other wounds in the dog and I do not think you would stick a garden fork into a dog after it had died for some other reason, like cancer for example, or a road accident. But I could not be certain about this.

I knew from the very start i was going to like this book. Haddon, the author, writes this book from the point of view of an autistic child. I personally know people that are autistic and Haddon did a fantastic job of capturing day-to-day life of an autistic child. When i started reading the book, i realized that it would not be like any book I have ever read. Like any book it started of with chapter one, however, the next chapter was numbered three. In the beginning of the chapter the boy (who is writing this book) went of on a tangent explaining that the chapters will be prime numbers because prime numbers make him feel calm. I enjoyed it because some books get boring because they have a plot and all you do is read about it. However, every other chapter in this book diverted from the main plot to talk about something random, because this is how the mind of an autistic child works. Throughout the book i found my self almost getting annoyed by the way the boy acted, then i realized this is because the author did such a great job of captivating the real life of an autistic child. This is written by a British man so the language is very harsh. If you want a great book to read, this is it
I didn't know what to expect when I picked it up in the store, but I'd heard it was good. Only on about page ten, I found it hard to put down. No doubt, looking at life through an autistic boy's eyes was different, yet intriguing at the same time. Christopher Boone speaks his thoughts, and they made me think of life in a way I hadn't before. There were basically two plots in this book: Who killed Wellington, and if his mother's dead, where is he getting these letters from? Nonetheless, a good read that was full of mystery until the very end.
This book is a very easy read. It is written from the perspective of a autistic fifteen year old. Although some people say this book was poorly written and did not have a good plot. The story was not a story to tell about how the autistic boy discovered who killed the dog, but rather a story to show what life is like for people with special needs. Having some experience with mentally disabled, I found this book super interesting. It shows that people with disabilities are not stupid. This boy was great at math. I know a guy with down's syndrome who could tell you the day of the week you were born on within five seconds of you telling him the date of your birth. This book was written to have a profound meaning. Instead it was written to show that people with disablities are still people.
Ok , I havent read this book, but my son who HATES to read was given this in his senior English class...he comes home everyday excited about the book. So my review is this...if it grabs him....it HAS to ne great!
Eccentric, brilliant, simple, easy and unique. A must read for anyone wanting to understand how the autistic mind works. For a teacher like me, handling some kids under this condition, this opened up my eyes on the reality on what's keeping these special people distinct. Brilliant work.
I gave "The curious incident of the dog in the night-time" by Mark Haddon four stars out of five stars. I chose four stars because overall it was a great book, this book made me want to turn the pages and read more. I loved trying to find out who killed Mrs. Shears dog, with Christopher the main character. I was very suprised to find out that Christopher's mother has been alive all along. The only reason why I didn't give this book five out of five stars was because I was confused at different parts of the story, that I had to re-read, but other than that this book was really good. I would recommend this book to many different people, but mainly to ages 13 and older. I really hope that there is a sequel to this great book.
"I have decided to give my chapters prime numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, and so on because I like prime numbers", is how the young boy starts off this facinating story into a world which one could only wonder what a young autistic person life is really like. Your seeing everything through his eyes(words). The young boy tries to solve a mystery about the neighbors pet dog while finding out some information thats devastating to him. You will not be able to put this book down. The curious incident of the dog in the night-time will definately be a book that you will always love.
Why do readers feel they must write 3 - 5 pages of plot summary, revealing story elements and ruining it for those who want to read the book? Did these people ever read a review? A review is not a retelling of the story.
About fifteen year old autistic boy Sometimes harder to comprehend Swears quite a bit (say its more for older teens and young adults) Realy interesting Love this book so much But one question, Where does it say he has aspergers? Every one is ridiculing the author, did i miss something in the book? Anyway, realy good read Definetly recomended. Peace ; )
Asperger Syndrome and an incident that leads to multiple discoveries, is what this book is about. The main character and narrator is Christopher John Francis Boone and he has Asperger Syndrome and he lives with his dad and his pet rat, Toby. His mom dies when he was young, or so he thought. Christopher isn¿t your average kid. He despises anything yellow or brown and loves the color red. For example, if someone gave him corn, he would not eat it, but tomato soup, he would. Christopher also will not eat what is on his plate if the foods are touching each other and he also doesn¿t like people touching him. On the bus to school each morning, Christopher counts cars. Not just any cars though, how many red cars in a row and how many yellow cars in a row. For example, three red cars in a row made it a quite a good day, four would make it a good day, and five would make it a super good day, but if it were four yellow cars in a row, it was a black day. Black days for Christopher would include is not speaking to anyone, sit on his own reading books, don¿t eat lunch, and take no risks. Maths is one thing Christopher is really good at. He takes time out of his stories to talk about interesting subjects that I¿m sure you never knew like knowing all the countries in the world and all their capitals along with knowing every prime number up to 7, 5057. Christopher started to write the book because of Wellington, a neighborhood dog. Christopher found Wellington dead one night and wants to find out who did it. In order to find out who killed Wellington, Christopher has to deal with many surprises that come with it. Even if it means learning that he has been lied to for a long time and an adventure to London. It¿s a good read and I would suggest it to anyone who is into books where the narrator gets off topic every now and again.
This book's a nice quick read for the experienced. There are a number of instances to read and reread parts to better understand the idea or problem that the main character is talking about. There are plenty of illustrations to help the reader with this. The worst part of this book is that it feels like you are reading a paper by a kid in middle school. However, this does work into the story. Bottom Line: If you enjoy reading and are looking for a good book to ponder and talk over, buy it.
This author does a great job of getting inside the head of an autistic boy.
When Mark Haddon's book, 'The Curious Incident...' first came out, the reviews were just short of gushing. Having finally read it, I think those reviews reflect more of their authors¿ sense of political correctness than the book¿s author¿s accomplishment. To state that accomplishment fairly, Haddon takes us into the mind of an autistic fifteen year old and offers an interesting hypothesis regarding how that mind might work. That said, however, this book is awful. The title refers to a dead dog that Christopher, the central character, finds on his neighbor¿s lawn. Neither the scene, nor the neighbor when we meet her, is at all charming. Christopher ¿investigates¿ the incident, thereby making the book a murder mystery in the overly eager eyes of some reviewers. But in actuality, the book is a chronicle of how Christopher thinks. As anyone knows who has dealt with an autistic child or adult, the experience can be frustrating in the extreme. Here we are given as much insight as the narrative voice is capable of giving of Christopher¿s likes and dislikes. We receive, however, only the barest glimpses of the living hell his parents endure on a daily basis, for we see their lives through Christopher¿s eyes, and Christopher is incapable of empathy. Reading this book reminded me of nothing so much as Peter Sellers¿ ¿Being There,¿ and watching Chauncey Gardner simply move along on the current of life, never really engaging with the world around him. I did not find that movie entertaining either, although the critics¿ embrace of Haddon¿s book does remind me of the acclaim that greeted Chauncey¿s inane utterances in that movie. Christopher¿s parents remain two-dimensional at best, and the rest of the characters merely form a backdrop for Christopher¿s skewed musings. The repeated glimpses of his mathematical skills are overdone and display only the author¿s apparent delight in his own cleverness. They, and ¿Christopher¿s¿ endless drawings, bored me silly. Except for perhaps those directly impacted by autism, I cannot imagine anyone finding this book at all enjoyable, particularly informative, or in any way uplifting. Avoid it at all costs.
I give the book "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time", written by Mark Haddon, three out of five stars. Overall I did not enjoy reading it, as the plot was difficult to follow along with. I found that I had to go back and reread sections several times, just so I could obtain a better understanding of what was happening. I know that I don't like this book for reasons pertaining to the writing, as I normally do enjoy reading books in the Mystery genre. The language was almost too comfortable for me, as the vocabulary was simple— although, the plot might have been extremely difficult to follow had the language had been any more challenging. I also did not feel the conflict to be particularly enthralling; I could put the book down any time I wanted to. Even when I had just begun reading it, I could tell I would not find any pleasure in reading Haddon's writing. The novel takes place in the year 1998 in and around the town of Swindon, England, which is a setting I find to be uncommonly used in writing, to my satisfaction. There are a few reasons why I decided on three stars instead of none. I liked the uncommon setting, as I previously stated. It sets the book apart from other books set in the big city or in the generic small town. The perspective of a child with Asperger's Syndrome is also one thing that makes this book so special. I guess most people enjoy reading through the eyes of an autistic child because writing is so rarely done in the perspective of someone with a disability. There is a theme of order and stability throughout the writing, that I found to be compelling. The main character, Christopher Boone, finds comfort in some uncanny logic and order to things. The way he hates anything yellow or brown, and has to make his favorite food red with food dye before he eats it is really fascinating to me. I believe this is possible because I somewhat relate to it. When I am turning the volume up on the television or radio, the number must be on either an even number or a multiple of five. It can bother me to a great extent. Despite the fact that I did admire certain aspects of Haddon's novel, I do not believe I would have even finished the book if I didn't have a thing for always finishing books I have started. It was like a burden every time I picked up the book to read more. Eventually when I came to the resolution, it was like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. However, I notice another aspect I did like was the consistency in the personality of the main character. The author did not change Christopher in certain parts to make him more likeable to the reader. At the end, when his father attempts to make Christopher forgive him, he doesn't make it easy. They both recognize that they will have to work to regain a trusting relationship.
I enjoyed reading this book. The author made you see what goes on in the mind of someone with Aspbergures. I would recommend it to others.
I was looking for books to read and I came across this book called The Curious Incident of the dog in the Night Time by Mark Haddon. Someone went to Mrs. Shears house because they saw a dog that was killed and they were sitting by it. A little time went by and Mrs. Shears came out and started yelling and cussing at this person. The boy is only 15 years old and the cop tried to pick him up and he hit the cop. Christopher's dad came to the police station and picked up Christopher. Christopher went to school the next day and when he came home he told himself that he was going to figure out who killed Wellington. Christopher saw the pitchfork that the dog was killed with. Christopher then decided that he was going to go to all the houses on his street and ask them questions about Mrs. Shears dog. Christopher was eating his supper that night and his dad asked him what he was doing in Mrs. Shears back yard. Christopher's dad made Christopher promised that he will stop investigating. While he was there he saw Mrs. Alexander and they started talking to each other. Find out who killed Wellington and how Christopher's adventure goes by reading the story... The author did a very good job explaining all the details from the story and the book showed everything that happened. The author did an awesome job of describing the main character, Charlie. It was written very well. Every little thing that happened he would describe it and even describe it more. So he had the details very well. The author could have shared more information about Mr. Shears. I felt that it didn't share enough about him and then he just all of a sudden pops up in the story. Also I feel that Christopher's mom didn't have enough information. He only shared a little bit and that was all. So I feel like the author could have done a better job explaining all of the characters. I thought this book was very good and interesting. It wanted me to keep on reading it and not stop. When I started reading this book I was thinking like what the heck because it was a little weird with the chapters. But eventually I got used to it and when I found out why it was like that I thought it was actually pretty cool that they did that. I like it alot because I have a bunch of connections to the book. It was a really interesting book. I think high schoolers would be a good choice of reading this book. Even middle schoolers would read this book. Also people who like investigation type things. When reading the book there were a bunch of spots that the author stops at and it gives the reader a feeling that the author should have kept on writing the book.
Excellent Book
I really enjoyed reading this book. It's been a while since I've sat down and enjoyed some good old brain exercise, and I'm glad I decided to read this one. Although I have to admit I did guess Father was the one to kill Wellington; however, it definitely didn't ruin the story.
Christopher Boone is a very peculiar 15-year-old, not because he is autistic, but because of the unique way in which he experiences the world around him. Christopher is a mathematically gifted and is a very open minded when it comes to perspective. With two supportive parents that love him dearly, his life is excellent. But Christopher's sense of reality takes an unusual twist when his mother is spontaneously ill, and is said to have passed away in the hospital of a heart attack. And to add even more tension to his life, Mrs. Shear's dog, which lives across the way, has been murdered and Christopher has been mistakenly blamed. To his father's disapproval, Christopher further investigates the case, discovering not only that his mother may still be alive, but that she lives in London with Mr. Shears. So, he finally decides to make the long treacherous journey alone to London, to try and get away from the one who murdered Wellington, after finding he lives closer to the murderer. "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time was a very unique novel. What is most remarkable in the story is Christopher's perspective and the way in which he handles the different conflicts throughout the story. It makes one realize the little things in which most would overlook, and helps also to appreciate them, which could definitely be considered one of the books inner strengths. One of the most significant values I've come to learn while reading this book is that no matter who a person is, they have the ability, capability, and potential to overcome any obstacle as long as they put their mind to it. Some would've doubted Christopher's capability of traveling all the way to a foreign and distant city alone. But by being the young, intelligent, curious, and strong man that he has become throughout the course of the novel, he is able to soar past the expectations of modern day society. "... I will get a First Class Honors degree and I will become a scientist... And I know I can do this because I went to London on my own, and because I solved the mystery of Who Killed Wellington? and I found my mother and I was brave and I wrote a book and that means I can do anything."
As a teenager struggling with autism, Christopher Boone does not see the world the way that most other "normal" people do. His brain does not process and interpret other people's expressions and vocal tones. This makes his communication with others filled with anxiety. Things like crowded and noisy places upset him greatly. He will usually react strongly if he is touched in any way, whether it was intended to be friendly or not. He loves to work on his maths and also to be alone, with his pet rat, Toby, at his side. Christopher's life differentiates from its usual routine when a neighbor's dog is found dead with a garden fork stuck through it. Christopher then gets out of his comfort zone to find out who killed the dog. His investigation brings about unexpected adventures and revelations that lead to him making some unexpected actions and decisions that only the unique Christopher Boone could make. Mark Haddon perfectly writes the plot of this book by dodging the feel-good and expected routes that you would think would take place in this story. He also brilliantly shows both views of the relationship by showing how Christopher thinks of his dad and how Christopher's dad thinks of Christopher. The author also does an incredible job of allowing the reader to feel for a short time that he or she is in the position of someone with the medical condition that Christopher has. Haddon's main message that I will take away from reading this book was that people with autism are not as "weird" as you may think when you see how they act, because there is definitely a kind of logic behind their actions. "Prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them."
¿The Curious Incident of the Dog and the Night-Time¿ was a different kind of story. Instead of giving endless details and insight into the feelings of the character, the author did just the opposite. Mark Haddon wrote a book through the eyes of Christopher, an autistic boy who has decided to solve the murder of his neighbor¿s dog. While his intentions were only to find a killer, he ends up discovering much more than he bargained for. Christopher¿s life is turned upside down in this logic ridden story of finding the truth even if you weren¿t looking for it. Through his journey, Christopher must try to understand the ever so confusing emotions of people and use his common sense to find the true murderer of the dog Wellington. Though this book wasn¿t my favorite of all time, I did enjoy reading it. At first, I didn¿t really understand the writing style or point of the book. But once I read further I understood the point of view the story was from, and it had a way of giving perspective of what life for kids with autism is really like. I believe that others should definitely read this book if they get the chance. Haddon¿s message that we all see the world differently is very powerful and clear in this story. And to Christopher ¿Lots of things are mysteries. But that doesn¿t mean there isn¿t an answer to them. It¿s just that scientists haven¿t found the answer yet.¿
I was immediately drawn into this book from the moment I started reading it. The chapters are almost like journal entries, this combined with the first person perspective really kept me interested in the characters and story.
I thoroughly enjoyed the story line. The author provided a unique perspective on a challenging subject.
I picked this up because of the cover and a quick preview, and following finishing this book I wasn't completely disappointed. The story is told through the viewpoint of a 16-year old autistic boy. His thoughts are very straightfoward and uncomplex. However there are some things to consider that were brought up in this book such as the perception of feelings. It's a quick and easy read, simple vocabulary and I recommend it to those who can enjoy that.
This is a book written from the perspective of a 15 year old boy with autism. The boy decides to write a mystery novel, when he becomes involved in the killing of a neighbor's dog. It was interesting to read the book because the main character Christopher had such a unique take on the world around. Everything through his eyes needed to be in a special order for him to understand it, and reading this book helped me to better understand people with autism. Also, the story had some great unexpected twists and turns that make it a fun and fast read. I would recommend this book to almost anyone looking for a good book! It was definitely better than I thought it would be!

Boil Water Notice Still in Effect
EUSTIS, Fla. (October 31, 2018) – At approximately 2 p.m. yesterday, October 30, an 18-inch water main, located immediately adjacent to the water plant on C.R. 44 by-pass, failed. This line is the main transmission line serving both north and south of the area.
Within three hours, crew repaired the line. However, a boil water notice was issued as the water pressure dropped below 20 PSI. It is unclear of the exact number of houses effected as the water system is connected by multiple water plants. The remaining plants tried to maintain a pressure of 20 PSI but the piping system near the break released pressure. We expect that 700 to 800 houses were affected. As a precautionary measure, we expanded the boil water notice to 1,000 houses.
Water has been fully restored to all services. The permanent repair will be completed today and will result in no additional outages. Upon satisfactory results of two consecutive days of BT testing, the boil water order will be rescinded tomorrow, November 1.
Precautionary measures for those who live inside of the outlined area of the map are advised that all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes be boiled. A rolling boil of one minute is sufficient. As an alternative, bottle water may be used.
We will inform everyone once the water boil notice is no longer in effect.

What makes an effective exhibition stand layout?
Exhibition stand layout ideas
Whatever the size of your exhibition stand space, there's an optimal layout to fit. Bigger doesn't always mean better and, if you've made the most of every inch of your design, you will have an exhibition stand that showcases your brand and supports your sales team.
The aim of the game is enticing visitors and persuading them to stick around for a chat. That's exactly what your exhibition stand layout should be designed to do. It needs to be attractive and open, but support informed sales discussions at the same time.
It's a difficult balance to achieve, but with the right design advice, it's completely possible. Read on to discover our 5 top tips for creating an effective exhibition stand layout.
IDEA #1: Create an open, inviting exterior
Just like the front of a high street shop, your stand's exterior facing sides should entice visitors in by showing them what you have to offer. It's a good idea to place eye-catching elements near the front, such as digital displays, key sales messages and any on-stand offers or entertainment.
However, don't go too overboard. The front-facing side(s) of your stand should be kept open plan, especially where furniture and sales materials are concerned. You need to make sure visitors know they can come and go freely. Don't let people feel they're going to be pounced on as soon as they cross the threshold! A bright and open layout will help your stand feel relaxed and inviting.
IDEA #2: Place branding in all the right places
Branding is there to be seen. So, don't be afraid to go big and make a splash. Placing branding high up on headers and side panels is a useful design tactic. It means that large branded panels aren't getting in the way, but can also be seen from far and wide.
IDEA #3: Have a focal point
What's the point of difference on your stand? Do you have a special feature that your competitors don't? Maybe you're providing refreshments or hosting an interactive activity?
Make these elements the focal point of your stand design. Building a central feature into your stand design – even something as simple as a seating area – will add structure and prevent it from looking like a very large backdrop.
IDEA #4: Include a secluded spot for discussions
Having plenty of hustle and bustle in front of your stand is exactly what you want. It means your stand space looks lively and generates a buzz throughout the exhibiting hall. However, there needs to be a place to take a step back when prospects want to speak one-on-one.
Allocating the back wall(s) of your stand as a place to hold discussions and carry out demonstrations is an efficient use of this area. Set back and out the way of the main tread of the hall, the interior areas of your stand should provide and comfortable place to sit down and speak privately.
IDEA #5: Strategically place sales materials
There's a fine balance to strike between selling and networking on an exhibition stand. But, ultimately, you're there to makes sales and your stand should be set up to help achieve this. Having tablets, literature, displays screens and other marketing materials on hand is really essential.
By scattering these details around your floor plan you can make sure the relevant materials are easily accessible, while avoiding your stand looking like a tourist information centre. Think of your stand design as a well laid out showroom – it's fully set up to display your products and services, but never cluttered or overbearing.
We hope these 5 tips have given you a good starting point for designing an effective exhibition stand layout. If you'd like any further advice, you can contact our design experts on 0113 289 7733 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Scotland's natural wonders include majestic mountains; verdant glens; and deep, shimmering lochs. But the country is also celebrated for its fantastic beaches. Skirting the coast of this scenic nation are some fabulous stretches of golden sand that enrich the landscape and provide visitors with numerous leisure activity opportunities.
Some of the better-known beaches in Scotland serve favorite tourist resorts, family-friendly destinations with spectacular shores that cater for local as well as international holidaymakers. Others, however, lie in remote corners of the country, hidden away in the nooks and crannies of the Scotland coast and absolutely splendid in their peaceful isolation.
Many of these beaches are situated within protected nature reserves, which can be explored following picturesque cliff-top footpaths. But whether you're a seasoned beachgoer or an enthusiastic outdoor adventurer, Scotland's brilliant sandy coastlines make ideal year-round getaway options. Find the best place for your next sand-and-sea vacation with our list of the top beaches in Scotland.
1. Sandwood Bay
Described by many as the most beautiful beach in the United Kingdom, the spectacular mile-long band of pink sand that enriches Sandwood Bay is considered to be one of the cleanest and most unspoilt beaches in Scotland.
Set near Kinlochbervie, Sandwood Bay is backed by impressive sand dunes and a deep freshwater loch. Facing an often capricious North Atlantic Ocean, precipitous weathered cliffs flank this remote location on the far northwest coast of Scotland, the domain of noisy gulls and other assorted seabirds. The outstanding natural feature, however, is Am Buachaille, a 213-foot-high sea stack, which stands at the tip of the Rubh'a Bhuachaille headland at the southern end of the beach.
You'll need to make an effort to reach this remote bay. There's no road access and getting to the beach requires a four-mile walk from the car park in the hamlet of Blairmore. The trail is fairly flat and snakes through rough moorland, which at times can be quite boggy. Tough, waterproof footwear is advisable. And why not pack a picnic? Sandwood Bay is a magical place, and the views are splendid.
2. Camusdarach Beach
Located a short jaunt south of the Morar estuary is this stunningly attractive beach — a broad half-moon of powdery, white sand accessed by an effortless amble through low dunes. Hemmed in by rocky peninsulas that are carpeted by an array of wildflowers in the summer, Camusdarach Beach is a regional favorite and was popular long before its use as a location in the classic 1983 movie Local Hero, which starred Hollywood legend Burt Lancaster.
Lapped by luminous green waters that remain somewhat chilly even during the high season, this is a place to soak up the sun rather than bathe. But kids will love rock pooling, and the beach is perfect picnic territory. Situated on the so-called "Road to the Isles," Camusdarach and its coastline afford wonderful postcard views of the outlying Isles of Rum and Eigg, their misty blue peaks adding dramatic perspective to the near horizon. The Isle of Skye's Cuillin Hills further enhance the scene to place this particular pocket of Scotland among the most scenic in the country.
Hikers can follow the coastal paths that snake away either side of the sandy arc, or can venture inland above Loch Morar for a sensational change of scenery. And did you know that Camusdarach Beach is a preferred venue for couples wishing to tie the knot? It doesn't get more romantic than that!
3. Seacliff Beach
Historic Seacliff comprises a beach, a residential estate, and a harbor. You reach Seacliff via a private road, and a nominal fee is charged in order to access the beach. But it's worth every penny! This little-known corner of Scotland is steeped in history. Located on the estate is Tantallon Castle, a semi-ruined mid-14th-century fortress and the last medieval curtain wall castle to be constructed in the country. The tiny harbor is remarkable. Dating back to 1890, it was carved out of red limestone using steam-driven compressed air.
The broad sweep of Seacliff Beach attracts surfers, canoeists, dog-walkers, horse-riders, and summer picnickers, but only at low tide: much of the beach is otherwise submerged. Textured with scattered rock, the beach takes on a distinctly rusty hue after the sea has receded due to the prevalence of red limestone in the area.
Seacliff makes for a rewarding amble. Besides the aforementioned Tantallon Castle, look out for the remains of Auldhame Castle, another reminder of Seacliff's strategic military significance throughout history. You'll also catch a glimpse of Seacliff House. Originally built in 1750, this once-grand mansion now stands as a forlorn ruin, unoccupied since 1907. Did anyone mention ghosts?
4. St. Ninian's Isle
Here's a real treat! Pocket-sized St. Ninian's Isle is connected to mainland Shetland by a spectacular sand tombolo — the largest in the UK. Effectively an enormous sand bank, the tombolo, known locally as an ayre, is above sea level during the summer months and reveals itself as one of the nicest beaches in the area. Accessible by foot, this unusual band of sand is a quarter mile long and while not a very practical destination for swimmers, serves as a perfect bridge for beachgoers wishing to explore St. Ninian's Isle.
The island has an area of about 72 hectares and is crowned by the evocative ruins of a 12th-century chapel. St. Ninian's hit the headlines in 1958, when a hoard of stunning medieval artifacts was discovered under the floorboards of the adjoining church: the destination is celebrated for its ecclesiastical wonders!
There's little in the way of leisure facilities here. St. Ninian's appeal lies in its relative seclusion and historical clout. But if you're the outdoorsy type, there's plenty of distraction. Ornithologists will be amazed by the wealth of seabirds the island attracts, especially puffins. Hikers can romp through a beautifully stark landscape that embraces some fine cliff-top scenery (trails start at the car park). And on bright clear days, the beach is a veritable sun-trap. Note, however, that in winter the beach is often engulfed by choppy waves, making St. Ninian's a somewhat seasonal destination.
5. Luskentyre Beach
On clear, sunny days, the shallow aquamarine and turquoise waters lapping Luskentyre Beach appear so luminous, you'd be forgiven for thinking you were standing on a beach in Greece. Luskentyre is one of Scotland's great outdoor pleasures, a location set well off the tourist trail but a dream to discover and explore.
This is not a place to enjoy a leisurely swim. Chilly Atlantic Ocean temperatures make Luskentyre a paddling destination at best. But the wide expanse of powder-fine sand, a stunning mountain backdrop, and an exhilarating sense of the remote offer up some truly memorable hiking options.
Besides splendid walking opportunities afforded by the beach itself (undertaken barefooted, of course), the circular 2.5-mile trail snaking through the dunes should also be trodden. Keen cyclists can follow a single-track road that links the beach to Harris's main highway.
Luskentyre Beach is bereft of leisure amenities. For shops, restaurants, and cultural diversions head for towns like Northon. And remember, the Isle of Harris is world-famous for its Harris Tweed. Hand-woven by islanders, the woolen garments make unique souvenirs.
6. Loch Morlich
Scotland's only freshwater beach carpets the shores of Loch Morlich, a beautiful lake set in the heart of the Cairngorms mountain range. Surrounded by forest, Loch Morlich is one of the country's premier water sports destinations. The sandy bay provides an ideal site for indulging in an array of outdoor activities both on and off the water.
During the high season, the lake benefits from the first-class Loch Morlich Watersports facility. Activities offered include sailing, windsurfing, stand up paddleboarding, kayaking, and canoeing. Mountain bikers can follow a challenging course through the Glenmore Forest, where a network of trails can also be hiked. Equipment hire is available, and the center offers lessons for beginners and novices.
Of course, for those who'd rather do nothing, the beach—a recipient of a Seaside Award by the Keep Scotland Beautiful campaign— is a marvelous excuse to do just that: nothing! In fact, it's quite novel to lie back and catch a few rays in the middle of the Scottish Highlands, and when you do fancy a dip, the water is as clear and sparkling as a summer's day.

Wedding Dress Alterations: The fitting process & TOP TIPS!/
Lots of brides at their first fittings ask the same questions: So, how does it work? How many fittings will I have? How long will it take? When do I need to stop loosing weight by? How many people can I bring? Keep reading and I will answer these questions with the process laid out and you might be able to start planning once your dress arrives!
I like to start dress fittings with my clients 6-8 weeks before the wedding. It allows plenty of time to complete the work required on the gown, as well as schedule in fittings with the bride. Lots of brides find themselves very busy in the build up to the wedding with events, so it's not worth leaving anything to the last minute and being organised.
The process normally requires 3 fittings which take 1/2hr each and ideally no more than 3 guests accompany the bride, opinions are always helpful, but too many can create confusion…
The gown gets pinned as and where appropriate by the seamstress, using knowledge of how a dress should fit, where and how to navigate different fabrics and styles. You will be asked to confirm if the fit feels better and if you are happy with the pinned changes, then the dress gets whisked away to a studio where work begins!
By this stage all of the work has been done to you dress that was pinned at the first fitting. Here you can see the dress fitting you like it was made for you and at this stage you need to stop with any weight loss incase the dress needs further alterations. Equally if you have changed your mind about footwear, this is the moment to do so as the work will be done between this fittings and the last. There should however, at this stage just be final tweaks and finishing touches to get the dress fitting and looking absolutely perfect.
The final try! At this fitting, you try on the dress and look and feel great, and know exactly how you will look on the wedding day.
-Bring your wedding underwear, pants, bra, stick on cups, etc. If you don't want to wear a bra, cups cane sewn into your dress, just ask your seamstress.
-Bring your wedding shoes. It is really important to bring your wedding shoes so the hem can be pinned to the correct length.
-At the 2nd fitting it might be worth bringing along your veil or jewellery so you can see how all of the elements look together.
-Don't wear fake tan, it will rub off on the dress even a little and it wont always come out
-Keep makeup to a minimum, especially foundation as this will rub off on the dress
-If you have ideas for how to customise your dress, bring images to your 1st fitting to discuss with the seamstress

EU rules prompt safer agchem use in developing countries
The EU's strict regulations on pesticide residues have encouraged farmers in developing countries to adopt safer ways of using pesticides, concludes research reported by the European Commission's Environment Directorate General. The study, by J and R Okello in the Environment, Development and Sustainability journal, investigated green bean farming in Kenya. The country is a major exporter to the EU. The research compared 180 family farmers, with one group supplying exporting companies that enforce EU pesticide standards and the other supplying "non-discerning" exporters.

A couple with different temperaments and attitudes towards life. Their union will last long if both of them are honest and respectful. Otherwise there will be conflicts and omissions.
Compatibility in love
They do not immediately begin a romantic relationship: he can keep an eye on for a long time, and she is completely incapable of noticing him for years. In relationships, Aries woman pulls a leisurely partner forward, and Capricorn man provides comfort and peace in the house. Because of the discrepancy in speeds, he sometimes has to reap the fruits of her rash decisions, and for her to lose interesting opportunities due to the fact that he is incredulous about the new. A man who is overly focused on his career and evenings at the TV ceases to interest the active woman over time, so it would be good for them to have a common hobby or business.
In bed, they are good and interesting to each other, ready for experiments and new sensations. Capricorn is both romantic and passionate, which fully suits Aries.
Betrayals happen, but both often relate to this philosophically and the couple does not break up. It may be worthwhile for some to think about a free marriage so that the ambitions of both participants are completely satisfied.

OMAHA, Neb. -- Teams are punching their tickets to CWS for the first time in years, but some regulars could be sitting this year out.
"Point blank, they're not going to drive for the College World Series," said Uber and Lyft driver Andy Nekuda.
Nekuda and his wife began driving for Uber full-time in December.
"For the last six months been making a living on it," said Nekuda.
Nekuda quit his job driving tow trucks, opting to pick up passengers instead of vehicles.
"My bring home was almost, per week, was almost double," said Nekuda. "It was happy sailings, you know, more money is always a good thing.">
But his good fortune changed the same time it did for thousands of others in the Heartland.
March's devastating floods closed in on Nekuda and his wife even if they didn't notice at first.
"We're looking at, just from my numbers, a potential of a $10,000 loss," said Nekuda.
Not in flood damage...collateral damage.
Under Chapter 75 Section 327 in the Nebraska State Legislature, "Dynamic pricing shall not be permitted during any state of emergency declared by the Governor."
"It just disappeared," said Nekuda.
Uber drivers rely on "surge" pricing - boosted rates in areas where a lot of ride-share users are requesting a pick-up.
"One of the concerts downtown, one of the people said, 'Hey, normally I'm down here during the afternoon and it's $5. Why is it $25? That's that $20 surge rate," said Nekuda.
Because of the disaster declaration - drivers are striking out on holidays, Berkshire-Hathaway's annual shareholders' meeting, and CWS is on-deck.
"Either not go to TD Ameritrade Park or sit out completely," said Nekuda. "Just because it's not worth the money."
Nekuda says hundreds of Uber and Lyft drivers are choosing to stay home for "The Greatest Show on Dirt."
He tells our sister station 6 News, during Berkshire-Hathaway's shareholders' week, he worked 12-hour days, seven days straight and estimates he lost about $3,000.

"Red Joan" (M) *** and a half
WHILE this film tells a story about a woman who channelled important atomic weapon information to the USSR in the years following their strategic deployment over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, it derives much if not all of its information about her private life from a novel of the same name by Jennie Rooney.
Rooney based the novel on the real-life story of Melita Norwood, a Communist Party member who did indeed supply information to Soviet military intelligence. Some sources suggest that while British security services identified her as a risk in 1965, they refrained from questioning her in order to avoid disclosing their methods. The film reflects this. Never tried, she died aged 93 in 2005.
Apart from a brief closing acknowledgement of Norwood's actions, the film cleaves more closely to the novel, which suggests a Joan motivated less to follow a Marxist ideology than to even the sides in the cold war by letting nuclear weapons secrets out of their bag. Would the Soviet Union have learned how to build atomic weapons if Joan/Melita hadn't done what she did? The answer must be: "Very likely, yes".
Filmgoers may take their pick.
Director Trevor Nunn's film finds its merit in two remarkable performances. As Joan in her youth, Sophie Cookson is almost a match for Judi Dench's portrayal of Joan in her 90s. Tom Hughes plays Leo, the leftist student who spots young Joan's potential as a Cambridge physics graduate with strong humanist ethics. As Sonya, Tereza Srbova flits into and out of Joan's life until she (Joan) is hooked.
"Red Joan" bears scant resemblance to any other English-language film about espionage. Its pace is unhurried. Its muted justification for Joan's actions is in some ways defensible. Will it generate strong filmgoer attitudes toward the indefensible element of Joan's actions? Perhaps yes, perhaps not. Does telling the story serve any useful real-politik purpose? No, but it's moderately entertaining.

Episode 135 - Week 14 Preview: Packers Embrace Meaningless Football
Last week I introduced our preview by saying a win wouldn't even teach us all that much about the Packers.
In a backward kind of way, it ended up being completely true that a win didn't teach us anything about the Packers...because they didn't win.
But you know what? That's fine. Because we got the next best thing: utter chaos.
I think if you can't root for the Packers to win, rooting for chaos, either in Green Bay or around the league, is the second best option.
Very few things are interesting when they go according to plan. But fortunately, right now very few things about the Packers can be said to be going according to plan. The head coach is gone, the starting quarterback is playing weirdly, and the defense seems to have to go to great lengths just to find enough healthy players to play every week. Heck, the Packers' long snapper is hurt right now. That's how weird and wild things are. Who's going to be snapping the balls for punts and field goals and extra points on Sunday? Who even knows!
And to me, that's great. Chaos means there's always something going on. Chaos means there are a thousand different possibilities for how things can turn out. Chaos means we can look back in five years and think about how it's strange that it turned out this way instead of that way. Chaos makes things interesting.
As bad as things have been for the Packers since Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone last year, there's been very little outside-the-box-type activity. But now? Now we're completely off the map. The Packers are sailing through chaos, and if they're not going to be winning, there's nowhere else I'd have them be.
Five Things to Think About During Sunday's Game
1 - Of all the Packers' recent recurring opponents, their games with the Falcons have been the most reliably high scoring. Dating back to the 2011 regular season, the Packers and Falcons have played seven times. In five of those seven games, at least one team has scored 30 or more points. In three, at least one team has cracked 40. Twice, both teams have finished with more than 30 points. If that trend continues, we could be seeing a shootout on Sunday.
2 - For all the conversation surrounding the emergence of Packers running back Aaron Jones, the Green Bay rushing attack statistically trails the 2017 team. Last season before their Week 14 game against the Cleveland Browns, the Packers had run for 1,303 yards – an average of 108.6 per game. This season, Green Bay has rushed for 1,268 yards, but are averaging just 105.7 yards per game.
3 - The Packers are a drastically different team than the one that visited Atlanta a little more than a year ago. Of the 43 players who participated in a play on offense, defense, or special teams in last year's game, just 18 are still on the active roster this week. The other 25 are either on injured reserve or have been released or traded.
4 - Neither Aaron Rodgers nor Matt Ryan is among their expected positions among the league leaders in volume passing stats, but both are still having nominally efficient seasons. Ryan, in particular, is doing well in efficiency stats, throwing TDs at a rate above his career average and throwing interceptions at a rate below his career average.
The big play has always been key for both Rodgers and Ryan and both are maintaining their place among the top big-play producers in the league. The two are tied for the second-most touchdown passes of 75 or more yards over the last ten seasons. Each has thrown for ten touchdowns, and trail Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger, who has thrown eleven. They have both thrown one this year.
5 - The Packers sack the opposing quarterback on 9.77 percent of dropbacks – best in the league – and are tied for third with 38 sacks. They've come at important moments, too. Green Bay leads the NFL with 24 sacks in the second half of games, is in third place with 15 sacks in the fourth quarter, and is second in the league with 18 sacks on third downs.
The Falcons' defense, meanwhile, is currently ranked 28th in scoring and 26th in yards. They are led by defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel, who should be a familiar name to Packers fans. Manuel started 16 games at strong safety for Green Bay in 2006 after signing a five-year, $10 million contract in 2006 as one of general manager Ted Thompson's first free agent acquisitions. He was released after training camp in 2007 but went on to play for three more NFL teams.
What Young Player Should We Watch This Week?
Though both the Packers and Falcons technically have something to play for this week, it's really just that: a technicality. While both teams may nominally be trying to win, this is also a time to evaluate young players. So we'll do the same for the rest of the year. Instead of looking for an X-factor, we'll pick one younger player to focus on for each of the next four games.
Our list is going to start with Alex Light, one of four undrafted rookies to make the roster this season. He hasn't been active for a game yet this season, but he has a similar background and skill set to 2018 fifth round pick Cole Madison. A college tackle, Light could play guard for the Packers and could get an opportunity at tackle as well with both David Bakhtiari and Bryan Bulaga hobbled by injury.
Plus, if his time at Richmond is any indication, Light may be able to fill in at tight end in a pinch.
What Happened the Last Time the Packers and the Falcons Played?
The last Packers/Falcons game happened less than 15 months ago but it feels like absolutely ancient history. The Packers traveled to Atlanta in Week 2 of the 2017 season to help the Falcons kick off their first season in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The Packers were seriously banged up on the offensive line; David Bakhtiari, Bryan Bulaga, and Jason Spriggs were all inactive, leading to a starting tackle tandem of Lane Taylor and Kyle Murphy. Predictably, Aaron Rodgers was hassled all day. He was sacked three times, hit seven others, and was generally bothered enough to put the Packers into bad spots. The Falcons coasted to a much less close than it looked 34-23 win.
Who's Going to Win?
I really don't know who wins, but if the Packers are going to win a game over their last four chances, this one or the Jets game in two weeks is probably their best opportunity.
The Falcons' defense is, to put it plainly, not good. They've dealt with injuries all season and are still doing so this week. Those injuries have affected their raw numbers and their efficiency stats. As we mentioned before, the Falcons are the league's 28th ranked scoring defense and come into this week's game 26th in yards. By DVOA, they're the worst defense in the league, coming in at 31st against the pass and 29th against the run.
If the Packers can't move the ball in this game, they might never. I think the Packers get a bit of a late-season bounce off the firing of Mike McCarthy and win a sloppy one, 34-28.
Survey Updates
Not surprisingly, the poll results are not super optimistic this week. According to our poll, voters have just a 52% confidence in the Packers coming out with a win on Sunday.
Even with the low belief in the Packers ability to win, most voters do not believe the team should tank. 62% of voters in our poll said the Packers should not try to lose games to get a better draft position.
But overall, people are feeling better about the team in the wake of Mike McCarthy's departure. Weighted approval ratings for the team overall, Brian Gutekunst, Mike Pettine, the defense, and the offense all went up this week. Even Mike McCarthy made a rally! But one key Packers figure's rating did drop: Aaron Rodgers. His weighted approval rating is currently at 51.25%
We do have a couple new additions to the poll. Just as we did with Mike McCarthy, we'll be tracking Joe Philbin's approval rating. He debuted this week with a 70.25% rating, which is higher than Mike McCarthy's rating was at any point this season except prior to the Packers' Week 1 game against the Bears.
We'll also be tracking your opinions on Mark Murphy's handling of the Packers' coaching search. As of this week, our poll revealed a weighted approval rating of 63.25% of the job Murphy has done so far.
One Last Thought
I've used variations of it a couple times in this very episode, but I'm kind of tickled by the assessment that "these games don't mean anything."
Of course, they don't. None of these games mean anything. And that's kind of the point!
As the Packers season has spiraled completely out of control, I've thought back quite frequently to why I started blogging about the Packers in the first place. When I launched my first Packers blog in 2012, I had recently started my first job as a local radio news reporter. I was feeling a little burned out one night after a week full of reporting on school board votes and city council meetings and small-town crime. That stuff is important, but it's mind-numbing. In my free time, I wanted to do something I enjoyed, like writing, about something I enjoyed, like the Packers.
That it didn't ultimately matter was exactly what appealed to me. Ultimately, who cares if the Packers win or lose? Sure it's great if they win, but all of it can be interesting and fun.
This next stretch might not be great for the Packers. The games might be functionally meaningless. But it's all pretty meaningless if you think about it for any amount of time. And that's fine. Let's enjoy the meaninglessness together.

Many projects in HCM City's Thủ Thiêm Urban Area are built under BT contracts. In late 2018, a new resolution on the use of public assets to make payment for investors involving BT projects was issued. VNA/VNS Photo Quang Nhựt HÀ NỘI — The Ministry of Finance plans to develop an electronic trading system for public assets, deputy minister Trần Xuân Hà announced on Thursday. The system aims to ensure transparency in selling, transferring and leasing public assets, following the Law on Management and Use of Public Assets which was issued in 2017 and came into effect in January 2018. Since then, it has established a legal basis for effectively monitoring and ultilising public assets in State and local departments. However, since public assets in Việt Nam are managed and used by many different agencies, it is difficult to have detailed regulations for some types of public property, according to La Văn … [Read more...] about Online platform for public assets trading to be developed

MoF reviews law on public asset management and use
An overview of the conference (Photo: VNA) Hanoi (VNA) – The Ministry of Finance (MoF) held a conference in Hanoi on May 16 to examine the one-year implementation of the Law on Management and Use of Public Assets. At the conference, Deputy Minister of Finance Tran Xuan Ha said the law has built a proper legal basis for the tight and effective management and use of financial sources from public assets. In the time ahead, the ministry plans to employ a series of measures to boost the effectiveness of management. La Van Thinh, head of the MoF's Department of Public Asset Management, pointed to a number of shortcomings in the field. He said certain types of assets and related areas still lack specific regulation documents due to the broad scope of Vietnam's public assets that involve different subjects in their management and use. Meanwhile, only about 50 percent of all ministries, sectors, and localities issue standards and quotas for the use of specialised space … [Read more...] about MoF reviews law on public asset management and use
Former senior HCMC official arrested for public land sale violations
The Ministry of Public Security has pressed charges against Tai, Vice Chairman of the city between 2011 and 2015, saying he violating banking regulations as well as regulations on managing and using state property, causing loss and waste. Three other officials are also facing the same charges: Nguyen Hoai Nam, former secretary of District 2's Party unit; Dao Anh Kiet, former director of the city's department of natural resources and environment; and Truong Van Ut, former deputy head of the land, natural resources and environment office under the department. In May, government inspectors concluded that Tai, 66, holds the main responsibility for the city's decision to lease out a land lot at 8-12 Le Duan Street in District 1 without organizing any auction, causing million-dollar losses to the state budget.

At Facebook, public funds join push to remove Zuckerberg as chairman

State treasurers from Illinois, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania, and New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer, co-filed the proposal. They oversee money including pension funds and joined activist and original filer Trillium Asset Management. A similar shareholder proposal seeking an independent chair was defeated in 2017 at Facebook, where Zuckerberg's majority control makes outsider resolutions effectively symbolic.
