Quick Facts:
According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 21.5 million American adults (aged 12 and older) battled a substance use disorder in 2014.
Over 7,000 people are sent to hospital emergency rooms a day (American Addiction Centers).
Abuse of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs is costly to our Nation, exacting more than $740 billion annually in costs related to crime, lost work productivity and health care (www.drugabuse.gov).
Almost 80 percent of individuals suffering from a substance use disorder in 2014 struggled with an alcohol use disorder, NSDUH
Over 7 million Americans in 2014 battled a drug use disorder, per NSDUH.
One out of every eight people who suffered from a drug use disorder in 2014, according to NSUDH, struggled with both alcohol and drug use disorders simultaneously.
Drug abuse and addiction cost American society close to $200 billion in healthcare, criminal justice, legal, and lost workplace production/participation costs in 2007, the Office on National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) reports.
Research from The Rand Corporation shows that people in the United States spend approximately $100 billion annually on cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and methamphetamines.
Drug overdoses killed about 72,000 Americans last year, a rise of around 10 percent. Theses overdose deaths have been so steep that they have contributed to reductions in the country's life expectancy over the last three years. Life expectancy at birth has fallen by nearly four months, and drug overdoses are the leading cause of death for adults under 55 (Bleak New Estimates in Drug Epidemic: A Record 72,000 Overdose Deaths in 2017, New York Times. Accessed August 15, 2018).

The best word to describe this week would probably be UNFORTUNATE. After the progress we made last week with our project, i was really looking forward to concluding the design and coding this week so we could focus on making our video for the Aulos. This did not go as planned.
As i found out,synth ( a required program for running the aulos) unfortunately is unavailable for Mac Laptops, So i had to resurrect my old windows laptop. Was able to download the synth program and Arduino software, just as i thought it was all going well, ERROR. The worst word when coding or programming has to be ERROR. For some reason, the code would not upload to the board which meant i couldn't make any improvements to the code or even test that it works.
Even with practicing my processing, i kept running into issues and coding syntax that i could not understanding. With processing, you have to understand the language step by step and i learnt that like a building block, if you skip stages, its almost impossible to improve. So i thought it best to stay confused and wait for explanation/help from our teacher Magnus.
Good thing is with creative technology, you are never short on work. With this set back, i turned my attention to my Sketch book. We are required to keep a sketch book where we document our ideas, sketches and essential images for the course. I am only mentioning this in week 7 as i have been clearly too focused on the other aspects of the course but have always been making little additions to the sketch book.
The sketch book tells its own story in how it maps out our progress during the course. Some what similar to the blogs but in a more visually captivating way. I often had ideas triggered during class or just through simple conversations and when i do, i write them down on anything in hand and transfer them to my sketch book for safe keeping. I have found this to be a helpful reminder of the little triggers that act as inspiration for me. More importantly, i also found that as i look through my sketch book, scanning through the pictures and memories of classes and workshops, it opens me up to more ideas and innovative ways of applying what i learn each week into my ideas.
Creative technology doesn't just end in the class room, as a creative student, it extends into every aspect of our lives and i am happy to be finding new ways of not only drawing inspiration but also keeping busy. There is always something that needs to be done and keeping active and productive is very important not just as a student but life in general. Applying what we learn into our lives is probably the most important aspect of being a student and maturing as an individual.

The Trick to Life
His thumb is double jointed; it can go farther back than most, but not as far as it was forced when it got stuck on the other guy's lacrosse pads.
He heard a snap.
Ow. That hurt.
That hurt real bad.
They wrapped it, and he played the rest of the game even though he could barely hold his stick with that hand. Silly boy.
We watched it for 24 hours, but it looked pretty bad, so I did what all good mothers do, I took him to the doctor to have it checked out.
He's fine. No breaks. But I shared Drew's injury with you to show you the poster that was in the doctor's office.
Sometimes, okay, many days I feel like this:
Who do you relate to in the poster?
Remember Chayil!
It's all in the attitude.
See you Monday!
Balancing with Joy,
[tweetability]"Now may the Lord Himself give you His peace at all times and in every situation."~ 2 Thess. 3:16[/tweetability]

How cute! I'm the dog in the picture. I just stare straight ahead and keep pedaling, and leave the rest to God. 🙂
I love it! Thanks so much for sharing! And for coming by. You're awesome!

sorry to hear about Drew's thumb. I hope it feels better by the next game….I've never been good at making life look easy. Oh well.
He's fine. It happened last week. The poster about making life look easy is supposed to be funny–not possible. Just wanted to give people a smile today. Thanks for commenting Laura!

Altro Mondo
Altro mondo means another world in Italian. I have been going back and forth to Italy for about 20 years and have become engrossed with the ancientness, the vast areas of preserved parks and the crops grown in each region...the mountains and the waterways...the Adriatic, Mediterranean and Ligurian seas...so much has happened in this amazing country and many times I find myself imagining how it was before mans indelible imprint not just on this land but in all of the western world.
Urban Stories
Consciousness of cultures and artistic visions of the world around us seem to merge on the walls of our cities. What are people trying to communicate? Graffitti has long been used as a means of expression, a way to speak when sometimes nobody will listen, a place to paint on a large scale, freedom to paint, express.
My love of gardens of flowers has been lifelong. Watching vast flower farms in my small town come into bloom in the spring, rounding a corner in Italy to a vast field of sunflowers or red poppies. Each holiday I find myself seeking out fresh flowers of the season to grace a table. I love giving flowers as gifts and find each part of a flower a work of art in itself, magnificent colors and various shapes not to mention the fragrance each one is identified by...rose, lavender, lily, carnation, gardenia etc. We have much to rejoice in...flowers are certainly celebrated.
Altra Vita
"Other Life" in Italian... we all started someplace...from the sea I suppose is the best idea...but what was before that? They mention the big bang, or God's handiwork...some don't believe in evolution at all...I prefer to explore the possiblity of an incredible explosion, nuclear fission...separating, expanding, colliding and with that a resting...every activity has its opposite...innactivity...and in that long miraculous time...life began its journey out of night and into the vastness of light.
Bella Italia
20 years of bringing small groups to Italy...adventure, education and immersion in a culture that resonates with an art filled life. It has been a visual feast reveling in artwork done by the many masters that span the millennium. So many layers of time, so many influences from so many cultures. Italy is a small country by size, but massive when it comes to all the beauty it has bestowed upon mankind. It will take years to reflect back, to retrace my footsteps in the Maritime Alps high above the Ligurian Sea, to attempt to paint with a palette of blues and greens of the many mythical seas surrounding this land shaped like a boot.
"Pictures of the Floating World" Asian art was one of my favorite studies within the Art History curriculum. My Japanese Art Professor would sit cross legged up on his desk with Japanese Temple music in the back ground as he turned down the lights while presenting his lecture of the imagery lit up on the screen in the front of our class. My Printmaking Professor was enthralled by the Japanese woodblock prints of the Shogun ruled Edo period (1603-1868)...These works were collaborative, usually 4 individuals with varying talents worked on the print. My vision of this Ukiyo-e will be to use collage and the idea of combining textures, materials and symbolism.
Albert Camus said, Autumn is a second Spring when every leaf is a flower. I was born in the Autumn, the trees yielded colors of warmth and then shed the dry leaves to blow in the wind or swept up in mounds to the glee of children ready and willing to stomp on the gold, red and brown leaves of every shape. I love Autumn best of all...and in many ways relate to its symbolic song. I went to the town of my youth to gather leaves, I let them dry and each one seemed to have left the tree with its own individual sculptural identity, so now they rest within the wax...a season forever saved and remembered.
noun. 1. the attribution of a soul to plants, inanimate objects, and natural phenomena. 2. the belief in a supernatural power that organizes and animates the material universe. National Geographic magazines were always out on the coffee table, as were old artifacts from my Father's cattle buying trips, American-indian beaded moccasins, beaded belts, handworked leather items, a carved wooden cane. Arts of acculturation, pieces romanticizing the cultures of the wild west picked up at the old trading posts along the interstate. My Mom would roam through antique stores and fancied old Chinese opium pipes and cloisonne bowls, figurines and ancestral paintings from the past. Her best girlfriend had a museum of a house, largely decorated with Roman vases and French antiques...paintings, objets d'arts, rugs, and all the finery imaginable. These were bits and pieces of my visual stimulation that has always stayed with me. Bits and pieces of cultural information have become visual components in each artwork.

Chapter One
"Of course she had to go and die," I mutter to myself, knowing it's one of the worst things I can possibly say about my sister, and knowing it's absolutely unfair. Pulling into a parking spot in the lot outside of the estate lawyer's office, I take a deep breath.
If she had the choice, Alexis would be alive. Easter was destroyed by her death. The family was technically together, but the fact that she wasn't there, that she was dead, had hung over everyone in the room, the house, over dinner, the whole deal.
I take another deep breath and flip down the mirror to check my makeup. It's hard to believe it, but a week ago I was finishing my work and planning my packing to go home to see my father, my sister, her husband, and their child, and a few other family members for Easter.
And then I'd gotten the call.
Looking at my reflection, my eyes still look a bit bloodshot, and my mascara has smeared a bit at the corners of my eyes. I make a quick movement to clean it up a bit, and think about the whole big, stupid mess.
I can still remember the way Dad's voice sounded on the phone. "I know you were planning on coming in a couple of days, Lara, but I would appreciate it if you could get here maybe tomorrow."
I'd gotten the time off work for the whole week, and helped Dad as much as I could. We'd had the funeral for Alexis on Wednesday, and then there was the long wait between then and Easter Sunday, with Dad and me dealing with visitors to the house, telephone calls and accepting pre-Easter feasts worth of food that he didn't even have room for. It's difficult to say whether people would have insisted so hard on bringing so much food if Mom was still around, but I have to think that at least a few of the people who came to see us might not have come twice if Mom was still around.
I touch up my powder a bit and dab at the color on my lips, something that wouldn't look like I'm joyful at my older sister's passing but also something that doesn't make me look like a corpse myself, and then I make myself get out of the damn car finally. Sitting there won't make Alexis' death un-happen, and it won't take away the obligation to listen to the reading of her will. It won't mean that I don't have to sit in some stuffy estate lawyer's office with the man I used to love, and my father, who has never reconciled himself to everything that happened a few years before and how it tore apart our family.
I just have to get through this and hope that Alexis forgot to even think of me, the same way she hadn't thought about me at all when she and Ethan hooked up.
I straighten my skirt and smooth my blouse as I walk to the entrance to the office, trying to remind myself that it's stupid to dread seeing Ethan again. It makes a little more sense to dread being around Riley, my niece, who is just eighteen months old, but I'm mostly looking forward to being around the little girl who reminds me so much of my sister when she was younger, before things went so sour between us.
The receptionist is at her desk, and she looks up when I come in. "You father and Mr. Parks have already arrived. I'll just walk you through to Mr. Gottlieb's office," she says, taking me in for a moment. I nod and let her escort me through the reception area and down a little hallway.
I've known I have to attend this appointment for days, and I've been dreading it, not because I'm worried that my sister might have made some gesture to try to win me over from beyond the grave, but because I'm afraid that she decided to do something petty in her will, like specifically say that I'm not entitled to any keepsake from her estate or some final rebuke just because I'd spurned her. The fact that I'd shut her out of my life for damned good reasons would, of course, never have entered her mind.
My dad looks like he mostly has it together when Mr. Gottlieb's receptionist lets me into the little office, decorated all in beige and green and blue. It's supposed to be soothing, but somehow, it's just all the more irritating because I know I'm supposed to feel soothed. Dad's dressed in a suit, one of three that he owns, and I'm glad I dressed up a little bit, in spite of the fact that this isn't really a formal meeting of any kind.
Ethan on the other hand is in a dress shirt and tie, along with some khakis. I guess he feels like being a single dad now makes the dress code more relaxed for him. Riley, my niece, the only thing that brought me back into the family, is in a cute little dress in a blue shade that brings out the brightness of her eyes. Her dark hair is down to her shoulders. Ethan hasn't bothered to do anything cute with it the way that Alexis would have. My eighteen-month-old niece has already taken off her black shoes and is standing at her father's knees in a pair of lace-topped white socks, asking him when they'll go find Mommy.
"Ah, Ms. Hampstead," Mr. Gottlieb says, calling my attention away from my sister's daughter, my beloved niece. "Now that you're here, I believe we can start."
"Yes, please do," I say, looking around quickly for a seat. "I'm sorry if I've delayed you."
"Not at all," Gottlieb says, taking something out of his desk. It looks like a binder, and I wonder just how long my sister's last will and testament even is, and what her estate could even amount to. She was older than me, and as far as I knew, she and Ethan hadn't exactly struck it rich in the couple of years since their marriage. The only seat open to me is right between my father and my ex-boyfriend, and I sit down in it, resigning myself to the fact that it's going to be awkward and uncomfortable and unpleasant for the next hour.
Once we're all settled in, Mr. Gottlieb starts to read through the will with plenty of hemming and hawing about legal matters, and for the most part I tune out, getting Riley to come over to me. It isn't hard, but it's much harder to get her to stop babbling about her mommy, and sit in my lap and play with the big pendant on my necklace.
Apparently, Alexis and Ethan invested in life insurance, which will cover enough for the funeral, as well as some security for Riley's upbringing for a few years, and they had opened a college investment account for their daughter. I'd never really thought of my sister as being the kind of person to think ahead like that, but apparently she was.
"Now," Mr. Gottlieb said, coming to the end of the document. "This part I believe will be a bit complicated. Mrs. Parks states in the end of her will, regarding the disposition of her daughter, Riley Hampstead Parks, that she wishes for custody to be shared between Mr. Parks and Ms. Hampstead."
"What?" I stare at the estate lawyer as if he's grown a second pair of hands. My father also makes a noise as it seems this is news to him too.
"I'll quote the directive itself," he says. "'Because I can see how much my sister, Lara Jane Hampstead, loves my daughter, Riley, and because I know that Riley will need a mother in the event of my passing, and I can't think of anyone who would do the job better, I wish for my sister, Lara Jane Hampstead, to be a mother to my daughter, sharing custody of Riley with my husband, Ethan James Parks."
I'd been worried that Alexis was going to spite me somehow in her will. Certainly, we'd had enough arguments since she'd taken up with my ex-boyfriend where she'd gone low with her blows, but here she'd actually decided that I should be the one to help raise her daughter in her absence.
"That can't be…" Dad sounds torn between anger and confusion and when I look over at him, I see he's been crying a little bit while we've been listening. I wish I'd heard whatever it was she'd bequeathed or said to him in her will, but it could have been anything.
"For them to share custody…"
"It's just a custodial arrangement. There are no real conditions," Mr. Gottlieb says. "She wants for Ms. Hampstead to take an active role in helping to raise her daughter, and noted that this should stand even if Mr. Parks is ever re-married. The two of them are to work out the details amongst themselves, with court a final recourse if they cannot agree on equitable division of custody and/or visitation. You are, of course, under no obligation to do this. The will is not binding on you."
All I can do is stare at the old, worn-down looking estate lawyer.

11 players who could become the world's dominant golfer
In 2018 golf has seen four separate world number ones. Brooks Koepka overtook Dustin Johnson, who had overtaken Justin Rose to take the top spot just a few months after Justin Thomas was briefly number one.
The last time this occurred was back in 1997 when the number one spot was fought over by Tiger Woods, Greg Norman, Tom Lehman and Ernie Els.
Since the 'Golden Era' of Woods dominating the sport ended through injuries and scandals, golf has struggled to find a player that rules the roost as Woods did.
Englishman Luke Donald has topped the rankings for over a year since Woods stopped prolifically winning majors and both Jason Day and Dustin Johnson hzave clocked up significant time as the world's top golfer, but only a single world number one in Rory McIlroy has won a major (2014 US PGA) since Woods stopped winning.
Here we take a look at some potential names who could become 'the next Tiger Woods' and dominate the sport of golf.
Brooks Koepka
You could say that Brooks Koepka has come out nowhere. Early summer last year the American had a single PGA Tour title to his name, he now holds five PGA Tour titles, three of which are majors. Koepka can drive it for miles and short and mental games to beat any golfer on their day. Will he become the dominant player we are looking for after reaching World Number one for the first time? Out of all the players around currently, he's probably going to favourite to win majors more so than anyone else.
Dustin Johnson
Since his US Open victory, Dustin Johnson has been without doubt been dominant the past two years on the PGA Tour. DJ has consistently topped all the stats charts. For example last season he was:
- 1st in SG – Total
- 1st in SG – Off the tee
- 1st in SG – Tee to green
- 1st in Birdie Average
- 1st in Par 3, Par 4 and Par 5 scoring
Despite this however, the American was unable to translate this to wins in the majors and big events.
At the US Open he held the lead after the first two rounds, but he was outplayed by his close friend Koepka and eventually finished third. This turned out to be his best major result of the year. Granted, he did pick up three PGA Tour titles, but the dominant players and world number ones go for major titles and Dustin was unable to win one whilst being the world's top golfer.
Rory McIlroy
Many followers of the sport believe that Rory McIlroy is golf's best player however, he simply hasn't shown this over the past four years where he has failed to win a major.
He is the last player to win a major whilst being the world number one in 2014 but since then he has had his troubles. Struggling on the greens, with his wedges and probably most importantly his confidence. Turning 30 in 2019, he is not getting any younger so you would like to hope that his fortunes turn and he starts winning majors again and regain the number one position. However, Rory is too talented not to add to his majors' tally so let's see what next year brings.
Justin Rose
This year has seen Justin Rose win his ninth PGA Tour title, have good showings in all the majors with his worst finish a T19th at the USPGA and reach world number one.
The Englishman, just like everyone on this list, only plays to win majors and increase his bank balance these days. At 38 Rose has the mental game and experienced combined with the physical attributes to make the most of the next few years ahead of him as he plays through his prime.
If you were a gambling person you would be tempted to put your house on him winning another major before the end of his career. Perhaps his next major victory is what he needs for the floodgates to open and to be able to kick on even further.
Justin Thomas
Justin Thomas has been world number one this year for two brief weeks, during which time he stated he hopes to stay at the top for a prolonged period of time. During 2018, JT won three times, an impressive feat considering it came after his best year on tour where picked up his first major and another four victories. Just as Koepka stepped out of the shadows, Thomas has burst into the big-time and has proved he has the attributes to go right to the top of the game. Will he be able to keep it up? Time will only tell.
Jordan Spieth
Jordan Spieth has had a very strange 2018 as he has so far failed to win a tournament after chalking up 14 wins since the start of 2013.
Spieth has had a spell as the world's number one from late 2015 through to early 2016, but an out of character season on the greens has cost him his place in the world's top 1o golfers for the first time since November 2014.
As a three-time major winner you would like to think he has the mental strength and talent to battle through this rough patch and is still just 25 after all.
Based on this year's performance you would probably doubt his credentials for becoming the world's dominant golfer, but when he was riding the crest of a wave a few years ago he never looked like missing a putt.
Jason Day
When Jason Day is on top form he is nigh on impossible to beat. The Aussie is probably the world's best player with the putter (1st in SG – Putting in 2016 and 2018) and the mental strength and ball striking ability to score very low.
His only major win to date was at the 2015 USPGA where he shot a major record -20, which has since been matched by Swede Henrik Stenson at the 2016 Open. He is well and truly in the prime of his career at just 30 years old but there is one thing that could hold him back – injuries. Two wins on the PGA tour this year after a winless 2017 are good signs however.
Francesco Molinari
If this list was being compiled last year Francesco Molinari wouldn't have even made the shortlist. However after working with legendary sports coach Dave Alred (the man behind Jonny Wilkinson's success) Molinari has added yards to his drive through physical and technical work and gained an incredible competitive edge.
This year has seen some phenomenal results for Frankie, including beating Rory McIlroy at the BMW PGA Championship, winning his first PGA Tour title by eight strokes, winning his first major at the Open Championship and becoming the first golfer ever to win all five of his matches in a Ryder Cup.
At 35 he will feel he has plenty of time to add to his trophy cabinet and now has a reputation that proceeds' him. Players on tour are starting realise Molinari's relentless nature.
Could he actually win more majors and become world number one? Why not!
Tiger Woods
Following his fourth back surgery, drink driving charges and a world ranking into four figures, you couldn't have predicted Tiger Woods would have come back the way he has done.
Granted, he is arguably the greatest golfer of all time but it seemed like the physical demands of world-level golf had taken their toll on his body and it just couldn't cope anymore.
Tiger has shown his fans this year however, that he can win majors again, with a 2nd place at the USPGA, T6th at the Open and his win in five years at the Tour Championship. His driving game has been poor as always but when things click into place and he holes putts, he looks like he is reeling back the years and looking like the old Tiger.
His Tour win has given hope to both Tiger and his fans that there is a possibility he could return to world number one next year if he were to win again.
Bryson DeChambeau
Questioned by some for his odd methods however, you can't question the "Golfing Scientist's" results. After what was an immensely successful amateur career, which saw DeChambeau become only the fifth man to win both the US Amateur and NCAA Division 1 titles in the same year, he has won five times in his two years as a professional.
These wins included four PGA Tour titles last year and three this year, two of which were back-to-back wins in FedEx Cup Playoff events. This saw him reach a career-high ranking of 7th and with this form with and a couple of majors under his belt he may well reach the top spot.
Jon Rahm
Jon Rahms's career has pretty much followed followed that of DeChambeau's. They both turned professional in late 2016 and they have both won five titles so far with Rahm also reaching number two in the world.
Just like other Spaniards in times gone by Rahm has a fiery temperament and when combined with his flair, long hitting and fantastic short game he is tantalising prospect. Rahm is also not the kind of guy to settle for second best. He has the will to win and will no doubt win majors in the future.
There are some fine golfers on this list but will any of them step up and become a dominant player in the near future?

I am so excited you are here today for this topic because I feel like it is just so relevant. Regardless of your stage of life, or tenure in your career path, if your an entrepreneur or not, if you've got a side hustle, a blog, all the things! We all have to constantly work on building belief in ourselves in order for us to do ANYTHING in life. I am more afraid of NOT TRYING than I am of failing, mainly because I KNOW I will fail but also because underneath that is the constant striving that I have towards building up my own belief muscle. Today I wanted to dig into three main ways that you can start borrowing belief until you can BUILD your belief on your own. I hope you get some EPIC takeaways & I can't wait to hear what you think!
"It's gonna take you time, but what's the freakin alternative? You're not gonna give up on your dreams. Not You. Not this time."

Below is the Wear Anglers Association (WAA) understanding of the restrictions that are currently in place for fishing the "Free Stretch" at Durham Sands. Restrictions have been put in place for various reasons by the Environmental Agency (EA), Durham City Council (as was) and the City of Durham Freemen. The situation is not clear cut with some water in dispute. The statements below set out the current position as WAA understands it:
- A national EA bye-law prohibits fishing within a distance of 25 metres upstream and 95 metres downstream of Framwellgate Dam on both banks of the river.
- A Council bye-law prohibits fishing from the footpath along Framwellgate Waterside on the North, left hand bank. This bye-law runs from Milburngate Bridge downstream to the end of Framwellgate Waterside. It bans fishing from the road and footpath and includes the grassy bank near the steps. We are told by the EA the council bye-law is quite precise and explicit to the area it covers and if anglers wish to access the river via the steps and fish from the river or the small areas that have built up in the river along the years they are free to do so provided they do not encroach upon the EA prohibited area below Framwellgate Weir. This bye-law was introduced on health and safety grounds to protect pedestrians. WAA are very concerned about the dangers to anglers of entering the river at this point particularly when the river is in spate and would strongly advise against it.
- Fishing on the South, right hand bank is much less clear and is disputed; the trustees of the City of Durham Freemen claim to have controlled the fishing rights to this stretch of water since at least the 14th century and closed fishing downstream from Framwellgate Dam to opposite the White House; a distance of approximately 500m. This restriction was put in place for conservation purposes. However 350m of "free fishing" was set aside by The Trustees of the City of Durham Freemen on the South, right hand, bank at the eastern end of the Sands that runs downstream from opposite the White House towards Kepier. Some anglers have challenged the authority of the Freemen of Durham to close this stretch, in that the Freemen do not appear to be able to show any documentary proof they do exercise any control over the fishing. This challenge arises from records of the Commons Commissioners dated from 1860 that assign the Freehold of the Sands Area to the Durham Corporation, now Durham County Council, for the purpose of using it for "public walks and pleasure ground". To enable this to happen the Freemen, in 1860, agreed to take on the herbage rights. There is no mention of fishing rights. As to whom ultimately owns the fishing rights is a civil matter and not for either the EA or WAA to decide. It is up to individuals to take responsibility for, and make, their own decision as to the wether they believe they can fish this water or not; but anglers must not encroach upon the EA prohibited area below Framwellgate Weir. WAA would hope anglers would act responsibly and follow the restrictions imposed by the Freemen of Durham as these were introduced with the best of intentions for conservation reasons in order to protect migrating salmon and sea trout in this vulnerable part of the river.

Queen Adelaide has been a trusted brand in Australia since 1963. The fresh young face of a distinguished heritage, Adelaide truly is a new Queen for a new era. In 1836, the first settlers arrived in South Australia and the new Governor; Captain John Hindmarsh requested permission to name the new city after King William IV of England. The King suggested it be named 'Adelaide' after his Queen and the main street was given the name of King William.

A Windy Day - Colt Park, Bristol - February 16, 2017
Since we can now walk just about any day of the week these posts may come more frequently. Today we took a walk in Colt State park in Bristol, Rhode Island. Colt Park has been the site of many of our
family activities and a favorite place to go and toss Frisbees fly kites. Today though I don't think you could do either as the wind was up steady over 25 knots and small craft warning flags were flying. With the temps in the low 30's the wind was piercing. Colt State Park was the home of Samuel Colt, the nephew of the famous Sam Colt of the firearms trade. This Colt was a banker and
farmer. Samuel Colt was the founder of the Industrial National Bank, the long standing and largest Bank in Rhode Island. This park was once his farm where he raised cattle and pigs and where the public was always invited. A more complete history of the park can be found here. Carol and I mad our way from the parking lot just below the park office along the road and paths toward the stone bridge and the water. Walking was tough as the roadway had traffic and the path were still filled with
snow. When we reached the stone bridge we met a lady, who was gracious enough to take a picture of us, but who had also just had a bad experience with a Park Ranger. The ranger threatened her with an $85 fine for not having her dogs on a leash. Now understand that is the rule, you must have your dogs on a leash. However beside this woman and us, there was no one else foolish enough to be out walking around in this cold wind. Here dogs were no threat to anyone. She was ripping mad and was heading
to her car and said she was going to go back and give the ranger a piece of her mind. We hope it all turns out well for her, she seemed nice, mad, but nice. Once we left the stone bridge area our walk took us straight int the teeth of the wind. I put the chin strap down on my goofy hat, just in case. We walked over tho the fishing pier which we also
had to ourselves. Narragansett Bay was about as rough as I have ever seen it. The wind was doing it's job. Just next to the pier were a couple of signs with information about the bay islands and the kinds of boats that work the bay. There were no boats out there today. On our walk along the bay side of the park we were amused by birds (Brants, Canada Geese, Gulls and Pigeons) trying to take flight into the wind - all turned back. The wind
seemed to be increasing and the wind chill seemed to be dropping. We made our way down a long snow covered roadway back to the office parking lot and to the warmth of our car. Another good walk, and on a weekday, imagine that. The office
area and parking lot were guarded by two large bronze Lions on top of the stone walls. This is indeed a lovely place

What happens when a man veers off the road travelled by his fellow humans and walks alone into the wilderness? When, like Henry David Thoreau, he decides to "live deep and suck out all the marrow of life?" This is the story of such a man. Born in 1908 the son of a Georgian sharecropper, Eddie Owens Martin eventually became St. EOM, the visionary artist who transformed his backcountry farmhouse into a trippy acid-colored temple he named "Pasaquan" and who died, alone, in 1986, never receiving affirmation or recognition for his flamboyant artistic genius.Read More
Three Days in Savannah
We were at Wormsloe Plantation (above), remarking on the flora and fauna along the Skidaway Narrows when I noticed a girl, probably thirteen or so, standing nearby. I screamed at her, "Watch out!" She didn't flinch. Not even her eyelids moved.
"Did it work?" I asked her, referring to her hiccups and my attempt to startle them away.
To which my husband said, "You mean did you convince her you're crazy? Yes. Yes it worked."
She looked at my husband. She looked at me. And then she hiccuped.Read More

Stoke's most famous son has lived a colourful life.
The Angels star often shares details of his wild alcohol-fuelled party days.
But he has now revealed his very own Twilight Zone moment, claiming that a UFO came within touching distance of him.
"I've seen a few strange things. I've experienced phenomena I can't explain," he told 60 Minutes.
Robbie, 44, claimed all of his close encounters have come in Britain and the United States, describing them as "intriguing and powerful".
The former Take That singer added: "I've seen one right above me.
"If I got a tennis ball out I could have hit it."
Clearly shocked, journalist Liam Bartlett hit back, saying: "Hang on. For the record, no substance was involved?"
"No, no substance was involved at all," he replied.
It is not the first time Robbie has spoken about extraterrestrial life, though.
Last year, he told Irish radio: "I've had a UFO right above my head, totally sober.
"Less than a 150ft above my head and there it was."
Robbie is currently on the mend after a health scare in December that forced him to cancel his final two European tour dates.
And yesterday, he revealed that he now prefers being called Rob, rather than his "showbiz name" Robbie.

A sub-regional workshop for Mozambique and the neighboring countries of Malawi, Zimbabwe and Zambia was held on 7-8 November in Maputo, Mozambique. The workshop, which was organized by the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy, through its National Directorate of Hydrocarbons and Fuels recommended the move to low sulphur diesel fuels at 50 ppm in the sub-region by June 2017.
The workshop was opened by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy, Mr. Alfredo Vasco Nogueira Nampete, on behalf of the Minister. During his opening remarks, he informed participants of Mozambique's commitment to cleaner fuels and the country's commitment to coordinate the sub-regional fuel quality harmonization process. He attributed this to the significant role Mozambique plays in the transit of fuel to Malawi, Zimbabwe, Swaziland and Botswana. The Permanent Secretary also spoke of Mozambique's commitment to improving fuel quality with the ultimate objective of achieving 10 ppm sulphur content by 2020. The National Director of Hydrocarbons and Fuels, Mr. Moises Paulino Joao also participated in the two day workshop.
The participants were informed that although the sub-region was predominately marketing 500 ppm diesel, Malawi and Zimbabwe already had a 50 ppm diesel standard that would be harmonized with the Mozambique's proposed 50 ppm standard to ease fuel logistics. Malawi informed the meeting that the country currently imports 70% of her fuel requirement from Mozambique at 500 ppm and 30% from Tanzania at 50 ppm. No fuel segregation is taking place. Zimbabwe also informed the workshop of its Government's commitment to move to 50 ppm diesel fuels and is currently segregating its 50 ppm diesel. The 50 ppm market in Zimbabwe currently stands at 5.3% with the monthly consumption increasing by 135% from 2015 and 2016. Zambia on the other hand has an oil refinery. Currently, the country has two standards, a 5000 ppm diesel standard that is mainly produced by the Indeni Refinery and a 500 ppm standard that accounts for 11% of the diesel market. However this lower sulphur standard is mainly for the mining industry. There are plans to upgrade the refinery.
On vehicles imports, the workshop was informed of higher taxation on vehicle imports older than 10 years in Zambia and Malawi. Mozambique currently has a vehicle population of 700 million cars, and a growth rate of about 10%. The country also has 158 CNG buses.
