Ancon offering enhanced non-combustible balcony connector range
Ancon is leading the way in developing solutions to meet the Government's tough new fire safety requirements for buildings, with the launch of an upgraded range of non-combustible insulated balcony connectors.
The development follows news that the existing 18 metres height limit for combustible materials in high rise multi-occupancy buildings is to be further reduced to 11 metres, extending the scope of the regulations to buildings over 4-storeys and affecting the vast majority of new flats, hospitals, residential care premises and student accommodation. This has again increased the focus on fire safety with contractors and developers looking to future-proof their buildings.
Ancon's insulated balcony connectors have been re-engineered and now feature non-combustible mineral wool insulation and improved fire-rated thermal pads to maintain their impressive thermal insulation properties and provide the required A1/A2 reaction to fire rating.
As well as complying with the combustibility requirements in the current Building (Amendment) Regulations 2018 for wall components in high-rise residential buildings over 18 metres in height, the Ancon connectors provide contractors with a fire-safe solution for all multi-occupancy buildings, regardless of height.
Connectors are available in a range of types, including Ancon Isotec for concrete to concrete applications, Ancon STS for anchoring steel balconies to a structural steel frame, and Ancon STC for steel to concrete fixing.
Ancon Isotec, which features high grade 100% non-combustible mineral wool enclosed in a protective stainless-steel U-shaped profile, carries Class A1 fire rating – the highest level of fire safety performance.
Ancon STS, for steel to steel applications, and Ancon STC, a two-part connector used for fixing large cantilever steel balconies to concrete floor slabs, are both A1/A2 rated. Like Isotec, both now fully comply with the new regulations.

Ithaca College faculty, staff and administrators are spending this month advocating for heart health through American Heart Association's "Go Red for Women" campaign.
While this is the first year the college is taking part, the AHA began the national "Go Red for Women" campaign in 2004 to spread awareness about heart disease in women and how it can be prevented. About 43 million women are affected by heart disease in the U.S.
The campaign is part of "Mind, Body, Me," a wellness program offered through the department of human resources.
Challenges of the program include "Wear Red Fridays" and "Decorate a Dress," in which participants decorate paper cutouts representing reasons to be healthier, and a best heart-healthy recipe contest. Junior Melissa Schwartz, a student intern in the human resources department, said all recipes entered will be published in an online cookbook at the end of the month.
Schwartz helped to organize the "Go Red for Women" campaign and said one of the goals of the campaign is to change people's perceptions about heart disease.
"Heart disease is usually thought of as a men's disease, but it's actually the number one killer of women," Schwartz said.
Robin Davis, assistant director of employee benefits and work life, said based on the success so far of the campaign, the "Mind, Body, Me" program will likely expand with a nutrition series and a diabetes series in the near future.
"We have a whole list of events that we want to have on campus," Davis said. "We want to incorporate nutrition, meditation, physical activity. We want to focus on the whole body."
Schwartz said the college is hoping to share information on how life choices can affect one's heart.
"We are looking to raise awareness on a range of different topics. For topics such as nutrition, a lot of people don't know that it's extremely important to limit things such as salt and saturated fats," Schwartz said.
Since the beginning of AHA's national campaign, progress has been made toward increasing chances of living with heart disease. According to AHA, 21 percent fewer women have died from heart disease, and researchers have put more emphasis on gender- specific symptoms.
Davis said participation in "Go Red for Women" events has been better than expected.
"It's an ongoing, month-long campaign," Davis said. "We want to keep awareness up for the whole month. Every Friday people will submit us their dresses or submit pictures of [themselves] wearing red, which we post to our Facebook page."
Schwartz said she has been using social media as a way to track the feedback of the campaign and events.
"In regards to our Facebook page, that is a way we can really quantify the effects," Schwartz said. "We've gotten a lot of hits. People are really commenting and liking everything, and they seem to be really excited about it."
Katie Sack, administrator for employee benefits and work life, said the response to the efforts has been uplifting.
"We have whole departments rallying around the cause," Sack said. "It's really nice to see that they are excited."

The Wellesley Historical Society, in an effort to expand its mission to serve as the historical resource center for the town, is planning to roll out historical walks in spring/summer of 2013.
The organization has gotten as far as the focus-group phase, taking about 20 participants around Wellesley Hills last week for a two-mile, two-hour, walk and talk about transportation and how it shaped the town. Next time you pass Weston Road as you travel Route 9 west bound, be thankful that you don't have to stop and pay a toll, as your would have before private cars and public trolleys made their way to town. And before you start getting nostalgic for those public trolleys that used to run up and down Washington Street, know that apparently they used to be more like public menaces, either outright running down the local gentry or bumping riders right off and into the streets.
The Society was founded in 1925 and is located at 229 Washington St.

Localist figure Edward Leung is facing an additional charge of police assault over the clashes in Mong Kok last February, having previously been charged with two counts of rioting and one count of inciting a riot over the night of unrest.
"During these times of retribution, those on the road of resistance will face many difficulties," Leung told reporters, following a closed-door chambers hearing at the High Court on Monday.
"I cannot change history; the only thing that can be done is to look ahead," Leung said, according to Apple Daily.
The Mong Kok protests broke out during Lunar New Year last February over efforts by the authorities to clear street hawkers. On Monday afternoon, two convicted of rioting were given three-year jail terms, while a third received a training centre order.
Aside from Leung, defendants Yung Wai-yip, Lam Lun-hing and Yuen Chi-kui are also facing additional charges of conspiracy to riot and arson respectively following the pre-trial review on Monday.
The ten defendants at the trial – among them Hong Kong Indigenous spokesperson Ray Wong – have been charged with rioting, inciting a riot, inciting an unlawful assembly, and other offences.
A second pre-trial hearing will take place on October 14, with the trial set to commence on January 15, 2018 at the High Court. It is expected to last 80 days.
Rioting carries a maximum penalty of ten years' imprisonment under the Public Order Ordinance. Unlike the District Court, where the maximum sentence a judge can hand down is capped at seven years, there is no general limit as to the length of imprisonment in cases taking place in the Court of First Instance. A High Court judge can therefore impose the highest penalty set out in the legislation.

The FBI just released a document shedding more light on the Comey-Clinton email flap
On Monday, the FBI released a document containing 50 redacted pages that indicated that former FBI Director James Comey had decided not to charge Hillary Clinton with any crime related to her email server before even interviewing her.
In late August, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) announced that they had received partial transcripts showing that Comey had drafted a statement rejecting criminal charges for Clinton months before she was even interviewed in the FBI probe, and President Trump took Monday's reveal as validation of Grassley and Graham's claim. Early Wednesday morning, Trump tweeted, "Wow, FBI confirms reports that James Comey drafted letter exonerating Crooked Hillary Clinton long before investigation was complete."
In May, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein wrote a letter to Trump recommending he fire Comey, in which he criticized the former director's July 2016 press conference rejecting charges for Clinton. "We do not hold press conferences to release derogatory information about the subject of a declined criminal investigation," Rosenstein wrote.

On Wednesday morning, Trump seemed decidedly less concerned about Comey's release of "derogatory information" about Clinton. He tweeted: "As it turns out, James Comey lied and leaked and totally protected Hillary Clinton. He was the best thing that ever happened to her!"

Fatty foods might be comforting as we eat them, but a recent study from by the Universite de Montreal found that a diet rich in high-fat foods is linked to anxiety and depression in mice.
High-fat foods cause us to feel good momentarily as they "light" up parts of our brain, but lead researcher Stephanie Fulton says that foods rich in fat "can actually cause chemical reactions in the brain in a similar way to illicit drugs, ultimately leading to depression as the 'comedowns' take their toll."
Fulton said that while recent studies are revealing that obesity is linked to a higher risk of depression, the underlying biological mechanisms between the two remain unknown. The Universite de Montreal study investigates whether a high-fat diet affects the brain's emotion and reward circuits:
"For the new study, the researchers studied mice already prone to obesity. One group was fed a diet high in fat, particularly saturated fat, the other low-fat chow. After 12 weeks, the rodents were given a series of behavioral tests, including 'anxiety' tests measuring how they react to a new environment. Stressed animals tend to freeze, or run off to a corner, rather than explore. Mice given the high-fat diet were much less active, avoided open areas and did little exploring. In a swim test used to measure 'behavioral despair' — a test also widely used by drug companies to screen new anti-depressants — mice had to swim in a glass cylinder filled with water for six minutes. 'Animals that give up quickly — they stop swimming and just float and stop trying to pull themselves out of the beaker — that's [a sign of] self-helplessness,' Fulton said. Mice on the high-fat diet 'actually gave up' and attempted fewer escapes, she said. When the researchers studied the rodents' brains, they found higher levels of corticosterone, a stress hormone. They also saw a difference in the expression of proteins responsible for signaling among neurons in areas of the brain regulating emotions and reward."
Comments Fulton, "In the short-term, high-fat food feels comforting, but in the long-term, and with increasing adiposity (fat mass), it is having negative effects on mood. We know that diet is a large contributor to the obesity epidemic throughout the world."

Save the Date: November 2013
Noteworthy events for the month ahead . . .
We'll kick off November with Election Day on November 5. While it is an off-year election, there are several significant races worth paying attention to including the New York City mayoral election and New Jersey's gubernatorial race.
Curious to know where's next for economics, politics and business? The Economist to host its annual Global Agenda conference on November 7-8 in London where over 50 chief executives and chairmen of some of the world's foremost companies, and leaders from politics and civil society will tackle this question.
Don't forget to honor the men and women who have served in the armed service on November 11. The National Veterans Day Ceremony will take place at the Arlington National Cemetery. For more information on other events, visit the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Gorkana will host a couple of "connection" events in November. On November 12, connect with Cosmopolitan UK and US editors at the Hearst Tower in New York City. Then on November 21, connect with a panel of reporters from The Chicago Tribune in Chicago.
PRSA will continue its series of professional development courses throughout November. Highlight courses include "Best Practices for B2B Public Relations," "Public Relations Strategic Planning," and "The Digital PR Strategist's Toolkit."
This year's Thanksgiving in the U.S. is on November 28, and an expected 280 million turkeys will be sold to celebrate this holiday. For ideas to spice up your Thanksgiving feast, check out Food Network's recipe page dedicated to Turkey Day.
If we're talking about Thanksgiving, we cannot avoid talking about Black Friday, which technically takes place at midnight on November 29. However, due to competitions, stores are now open on Thanksgiving Day. Some stores, including Macy's, Walmart, Target, Kohl's, and JC Penney, have announced Black Friday will start at 8 p.m. on Thursday. Consumers are expected to spend an average of $738, which is two percent less than 2012 holiday spending. Will you shorten your family time to capitalize on this annual sales? I won't. I'm more of a Cyber Monday (December 2) kind of girl.

Port Wentworth Manatee Rescued!
Photo by SeaWorld
Great news! One of my manatee buddies suffering from cold stress, was rescued from the Savannah River at the Weyerhaeuser paper mill in Port Wentworth, Georgia. Manatees are warm-blooded and in the cold weather, we need the warm water of Florida's springs or the warm outflow water of energy plants.
In this circumstance, my buddy got trapped in Port Wentworth because the river water beyond the paper mill was too cold for traveling back to Florida… Yikes! Mr. Chuck Hayes with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service explained manatees can get "thermally trapped." Mr. Hayes said the water at the plant was "a balmy 67 degrees" and "just 15 feet away, it dipped to 55 degrees." Ouch! Chuck also said, "If they hang around the outfall there's nothing to eat. That's one reason we wanted to get them out of there."
SeaWorld was able to rescue the manatee with a 20-foot deep net. Once back in Orlando, Florida, my buddy got a full examination and also given fluids and antibiotics at SeaWorld's manatee rehabilitation facility. He was just logged in at 9-feet long and his weight was 800 pounds. SeaWorld blogged that their Animal Rescue Team has "rescued 12 manatees and returned 9 to the wild."
Florida Manatees (that's me!) are a subspecies of the West Indian manatee. We're currently listed as "endangered" and are at risk from both natural and man-made causes of injury and death. Our exposure to cold stress, red tide, and other diseases are the natural challenges we face each day. The man-made issues facing us are; boat strikes, flood gates (or locks) and also getting caught and tangled up in fishing gear.
If you see any sick or injured manatees, please call the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at: 1-888-404-FWCC. They are the folks who are responsible for rescuing us in Florida.
Here is a cool link for you to learn more about how we're rescued and brought into rehabilitation …

November 1, 2022
The internet has made everything a lot easier. People have started to do things from their homes instead of going outside, which includes ordering groceries, working, and even gambling. The Covid 19 lockdowns accelerated this transition at a rapid pace.
While it can be tempting to start gambling online, there are a few safety concerns to be aware of. If you are not careful, you may lose a ton of your money or have a bad experience at best. So you can avoid all those types of situations. Here is our complete casino safety guide for beginners.
You might think it's not worth it to focus on casino safety. You might think that the odds of you running into a problem with online casinos are not that high. However, you'd be surprised to learn it's quite common. Here are all the potential issues you might have to deal with if you ignore casino safety.
The worst thing that can happen to you if you ignore casino safety is scams. There are indeed many legitimate online betting sites out there. However, there are many scam sites as well that may try to scam you.
It is quite common for people to get scammed after accidentally ending up at an online casino that is not legitimate. You can potentially lose a ton of your money. However, you can significantly reduce the chances of landing on a scam site by following a few simple casino safety strategies.
Another common safety concern you should be aware of while using an online casino is identity theft. Some scam sites will work fine and won't steal your money, but they will steal your information without you even noticing it.
When you sign up for an online casino, you have to enter personal information like address and more. Shady platforms will steal this information and then use it for identity theft.
A lot of times, people enter the same password they use for their sensitive accounts, like Facebook and Email. When someone with bad intentions gets this information, they can use it to get access to your other accounts.
The main goal of playing games and betting at an online casino is to have fun and an exciting experience. Let's say that you ignore casino safety and somehow manage to avoid all types of scam sites. Despite that, there is still a chance of you having a bad experience that ruins your day.
There are a ton of things that can lead you to a bad experience. You might get stuck with winnings and not be able to withdraw them. You might waste your money thinking it was actually a free bet on a bonus. Or maybe you ended up with a small amount even after winning a bet. All this can make you feel really bad.
The main thing you should be careful about while practicing casino safety is whether or not the online casino has proper licensing or not. Various regulatory bodies check to see whether an online casino is involved in illicit activities and then provide them with licenses and certifications.
To see what licenses an online casino has acquired, go to their main website and scroll down. You can find the license information there. Some of the most reputable licensing organizations include the Curacao Gambling Authority, Malta Gaming Authority, the National Gaming Board, The UK Gambling Commission (For United Kingdom), and the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority.
As we have mentioned, identity theft is a common issue with shady online casinos. However, this only happens on websites with poor security measures and encryption protocols. For this reason, you must make sure an online casino has proper encryption protocols before you start using it.
Industry-leading encryption protocols include the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) and SSL encryption. To figure out what encryption a website uses. Open a website and look at its URL in the search bar. If you can see the symbol of a closed lock, then it means the site uses SSL encryption. If you see "https," it ensures that the website uses HTTPS protocol.
When you play casino games or take part in any other kind of online betting at an online casino, you will need to make some deposits using real cash. Also, when you win some bets, you will need to make some withdrawals using real cash.
Since you will be required to make some cash transactions at an online casino to be able to use them properly, you must make sure that the online casino has all the withdrawal and deposit options you need.
You should especially be careful of withdrawal options. If the site does not offer the withdrawal options you have access to, your winnings will stay stuck on the site, and you won't be able to access them.
Making sure a website has proper licensing, industry-leading encryption protocols, and all the deposit and withdrawal options you need might be time-consuming. Fortunately, CasinoRank has already done that for you.
CasinoRank is an online casino review site that reviews online casinos based on several metrics, including licensing, security, deposit and withdrawal options, features, and more.
Looking at online casino reviews at a reputable review site like CasinoRank provides you with all the information you need in one place. However, it also helps you get a better idea of how good an online casino is and how easy it is to use. These review sites take a look at hundreds of aspects of an online review site and then present their expert opinion.
After finding a decent platform with proper licensing and encryption protocols, you need to make sure that you read everything carefully. If you don't do that, you will end up having a bad experience.
One of the most common mistakes that beginners make is that they select a bonus and don't read the terms and conditions carefully. To take advantage of a bonus, you must adhere to certain limits.
For example, a particular bonus might be applicable only for a certain bet size and a particular betting activity. You can only know about these limits if you read all the rules.
Another important thing people forget to read is the terms and conditions for withdrawal. You need to have a certain minimum amount in your wallet to be able to make withdrawals. You can only reveal this and other important information if you read the withdrawal terms and conditions carefully.
Before you place a bet, it is important to take a look at the odds and the house edge. Both these things will determine the amount you will get if you win. If you accidentally end up at a game or live casino table with poor odds, you won't get a decent return for winning.

These Leeds fans can't agree on the qualities of Patrick Bamford
Leeds United fans have once again been discussing the attitudes towards Patrick Bamford as he continued his good form by scoring two goals against Wigan on Saturday.
This means that the striker has netted three goals in his first three appearances in the league this season.
Last term many were critical of the former Boro man as he netted just nine goals for the Whites.
Looking for that special Leeds United Gift? Take a look at the amazing Leeds Fan Gift site for the latest reviews, shopping advice and links to the best products in the market. With new items are added daily, reviews are helpful and informative this should be your #1 destination. They have everything from the latest and classic Shirt as well as memorabilia, toys and gifts.
He netted those strikes in just 23 appearances though so his goalscoring record was actually quite decent in terms of goals to game ratio.
He's managed to improve on that already this season, and with Kemar Roofe departing for Anderlecht Bamford has become the first-choice striker for Marcelo Bielsa's side
Fans have often complained about the attacker during his first 12 months at the club, but there are a few supporters that seemingly can't understand why the 25-year-old has been the subject of so much criticism.
My maths may be wrong but isn't that 15 goals in 28 games for Bamford now? How can anyone give him grief for that when half of those came while recovering from injury? Better ratio than Becchio and he's lauded. #lufc Maybe it's because he doesn't play to the crowd.
— Carajo Leeds (@CarasSucias1957) August 18, 2019
Where are ya you Bamford haters he's got 3 goals in three games let's all get behind the lad he's a good player some leeds fans just can't help themselves from moaning at our players some leeds fans are so thick #mot #lufc #alaw
— Alex Sherriff (@SherriffAlex) August 17, 2019
Other sections of the fanbase stated how happy they were with his scoring record. One even compared him to Cristiano Ronaldo, while another said that his return was up there with the best players.
A fantastic return up with the best
— Nige (@hectorswhites) August 18, 2019
Better ratio than Ronaldo at united, Bamford, 1 every other game, Ronaldo, 1 every 3rd game. 292 apps 118 goals.
— Phil Begley. Gone fishing (@yorkshirebegley) August 18, 2019
A couple of supporters expressed that they understand why some people are frustrated by Bamford as they explain that his chance conversion rate isn't up to scratch.
Probably because for every goal he's scored he's also missed 1/2 sitters. Not saying he should get the grief he does but, if you're being objective, you can see why folk get frustrated with him. Also, Becchio scored with fewer chances, in some big matches and cost about €100.
— Siy1919 (@Siy1919) August 18, 2019
I think the fact he could of had 105 goals is more the fans gripe , why don't you put a statistic up of conversion rate

The University was looking to redevelop the building to create an inspirational, multi-purpose venue where theatre professionals, students, scholars and alumni could collaborate to make new work. Key to their vision was the inclusion of a retractable seating system and found a product from Hussey Seatway that was the perfect fit.
Hussey Seatway are renowned for developing custom seating systems to meet customers unique needs and this project was certainly no exception. Utilising an existing design, a double depth retractable seating system was supplied allowing two rows of the chair to be accommodated on each platform, therefore, doubling the seating capacity within the limited height of the space. The platforms featured a partial opening device that enabled the end user to select each row to be set at 'double or 'single depth' offering a multitude of seating arrangements. The new Decra chair was chosen with polished outer wood panels and powder coated silver castings creating, a modern executive look to the chair. Scribe writing tablets were fitted for each seat place providing a writing ledge for students when lectures were taking place, the tablets can simply be folded away underneath the chair when not required for performance events.
Platform: Seatway TP

'Ambitious recommendations' in new deer management report
A new independent report has set out 99 ambitious recommendations that will impact on the way in which wild deer are managed in Scotland.
The independent review was established in October 2017 and was charged with making recommendations that will ensure that deer management is compliant with the public interest and sustainable development objectives. The recommendations include a move towards the use of non-lead ammunition, the immediate introduction of trials with scopes for night shooting, removal of the close season for all male deer in Scotland and the licensing of the shotgun shooting of deer.
Commenting on the report's contents, BASC Scotland Director, Dr Colin Shedden, said: "This report contains a range of recommendations that, although not all required, will aid the discussion on sustainable deer management and deer welfare whilst taking into consideration the environment and the rural economy.
"The report contains several expected recommendations such as updating the Deer Act and a move away from lead ammunition, but also contains some recommendations that if taken forward would be cause for concern. Most notably the proposal to remove the close season for all male deer in Scotland, which will fail in reducing productivity levels among herds and has the potential to skew management plans.
"As the Scottish Government digest the proposals in this review, BASC will ensure any recommendations taken forward are made in the best interest of the environment, the species and the rural community."

Thankfully, there are several pairs of galoshes (rubber boots) reserved for guests by the door in the rear of Ganiba Onsen 蟹場温泉, a necessity as we crunched 100 meters through the now thickly falling powder snow to the outdoor bath, which is one of several mixed-gender baths in Nyuto Onsen.
I have to admit I was a little apprehensive about this writing assignment, sharing a mixed-gender bath with complete strangers. I imagined the awkwardness of interviewing a fellow bather while keeping my eyes firmly fixed on some object in the distance. As fortune would have it, it was a situation I never had to resolve because the snowy weather and tight schedule made bathing a bit of an inconvenience for myself and my companions, who were in charge of getting me from location to location that day. Still, it would have been nice to use one of the regular segregated baths in this famous onsen region of Japan!
There was, however, a family from Taiwan enjoying the shocking contrast between the hot, slightly acidic water of the bath and the feeling of snowflakes landing and melting on their exposed heads and arms. They were gracious enough to let us take a modest photograph of the incredible beauty and peacefulness of this bath, at the edge of the forest and out of view of any other structures.
Ganiba Onsen and the others in the area don't just have mixed gender outdoor bathing. There are gender segregated baths too, most of them smaller indoor onsen, but a few outdoors. But mixed gender bathing is becoming such a rarity in Japan, there are few places that you can enjoy the experience, let alone a cluster of mixed gender onsen within a few minutes of each other.
The Nyuto Onsen Seven
Nyuto Onsen 乳頭温泉 is the collective name for seven ryokan in the mountains northeast of Lake Tazawa 田沢湖 in Akita Prefecture 秋田県. (One of the ryokan is a second location for Tsurunoyu, a ryokan we will introduce later.) As none of the facilities are directly related, each ryokan uses different hot spring waters of the area, many of which are slightly acidic and milky in color. The semi-opaqueness of the water is another quality which makes it a bit less nerve-wracking to bathe with strangers of the opposite sex. Like all onsen, healing properties are attributed to the compounds found in the water, from relieving eczema to lowering your blood pressure, making onsen bathing a healthy way to relax.
The onsen themselves are private property of each of the ryokan they belong to, but you do not have to be a guest at the ryokan to use them. If you are a guest of any of the ryokan, you can purchase the Yumeguri Pass for 1800 yen, which allows you a single use at each one of the other ryokan's onsen for up to a year. On top of that, a shuttle bus that connects the various ryokan is available for you to use for free. If that is too much onsen for you, a pass for a single onsen will run about 600 yen.
Some of the ryokan of Nyuto Onsen were founded over 300 years ago, quite the history for this quaint location in rural Semboku city. Tsurunoyu, the oldest and most picturesque of the Nyuto Onsen ryokan, attracts a wide range of visitors, both international and domestic, and it is often fully booked for weeks in advance. None of the ryokan would be disappointing however, as each has their own character and rustic appeal of the remote mountainous area that surrounds them.
Tsurunoyu 鶴の湯 – The Elder Statesman
Not to diminish the reputations of the other ryokan of the area, but Tsurunoyu has a reputation that is nearly legendary in Japan. That prestige lends itself to long lead times for reservations, however, so be warned if you intend to stay here; they take reservations up to six months in advance.
That said, there is a reason this ryokan has been in business for 330 years. The meals, often centered around a hot pot cooked over your own personal hearth, are works of art using local mountain ingredients. Other specialties include sumibiyaki, foods grilled over Japanese oak and of course a seemingly endless variety of sake, which Akita is known for.
Walking up to Tsurunoyu from the parking lot, we noticed a strange little snow hut built next to the main path. Ducking into the low entrance we found a little snow shrine had been built for the "god of water", who had apparently been working overtime that day with some help from the "god of cold".
The heavily falling snow did not prevent guests from using the lovely outdoor onsen, however. After agreeing to allow us to take a photograph, they playfully chided us with calls of "10,000 yen fee!". We simply walked away and they could not come after us because, well you know, they were naked.
The chief of Tsurunoyu greeted us in the reception area and gave us a quick tour of the compound. Aside from the spacious private rooms, many with their own irori hearth to warm them, Tsurunoyu has a novel way to chill their beverages. Or is it to warm up their beverages? In this weather, it's hard to tell.
With the snow falling quite heavily and sunset almost upon us, we thought it would be prudent to head back down the mountain from Tsurunoyu to our next destination before the gods of water and cold changed our plans for us.
Onsen for All Seasons
Many people come to Nyuto Onsen in the winter to experience outdoor, mixed gender onsen bathing, perhaps imagining life as a Nagano snow monkey. But the Tazawako area is lovely in all seasons and there is no reason to wait until winter to enjoy one of Nyuto Onsen's amazing ryokan. Autumn colors in the Akita mountains are dazzling and Spring brings the world-class cherry blossoms of nearby Kakunodate into bloom. In the summer, countless varieties of wildflowers grow in huge patches on Akita-Komagatake, just above the onsen area.
With so much to see in the area, including the eternally blue Lake Tazawa and the samurai town of Kakunodate just minutes away, a stay at Nyuto Onsen isn't just a soak in a bath, it's a memory that never fades away.
Getting to Nyuto Onsen
It's hard to imagine, but thanks to magic of the Akita Shinkansen line, Semboku city, where Nyuto Onsen is located, is just three hours from Tokyo. The sleek and modern Komachi trains bring passengers to and from Akita Prefecture over 25 times per day. Best of all, if you have purchased a JR Rail Pass, the cost of your ticket is already covered by the pass. Take the train from Tokyo Station to Tazawako Station where you can catch a bus to the Nyuto Onsen area that leaves hourly and takes about 50 minutes.

They do look soft and snuggly. I think they are very good value for that quality.ReplyDelete
They look so comfy & soft! I'm really surprised by the price point. I used to buy a similar looking baby shoe for my little ones but they were around the 20euro mark each. Tyler Lee will grow into them surly & they will be lovely for the winter xReplyDelete
They looks so comfortable. Sad of it is, I am a big slipper fan and so wish these came in my size! xReplyDelete
They look so gorgeous and comfy! My little DJ loves wearing slippers as our house also has cold wooden floors.ReplyDelete
These look great. I must admit I was slightly disappointed when I read they were kids's slippers though, I really want some for me!ReplyDelete
These look gorgeous - so snuggly and warm for the winter. Great value too. (I too would like some for me!) Kaz xReplyDelete
Wow, I can't believe how affordable these are! They look so much more expensive. I love them. Perfect for the colder months. I may have to invest in a pair for Ayden. He wears a lot of moccasin style shoes so would love a pair I'm sure.ReplyDelete

*NOTE: This is the second segment in a series on former professor David Dessler. It describes events that occurred between Oct. 26, 2015, when Dessler was placed on medical leave, and December 2017, when he filed a discrimination lawsuit against the College. Future installments will provide an in-depth look at issues ranging from Dessler's proposed student-faculty mental health initiative to the College administration's handling of his case.

By Meilan Solly
In the roughly two years since former government professor David Dessler was placed on medical leave, he has been arrested five times, spent 77 days in jail and officially resigned from his tenured position at the College of William and Mary.
This series of events, which began with Dessler's 1984 hiring and culminated in a stream of cryptic emails sent to students, faculty and administrators (see part one), precipitated the unexpected end of a decorated professor's teaching career and has raised questions regarding the College's approach toward mental health issues. According to court documents, Dessler, who had previously been diagnosed with major depression, views his "continued arrest and harassment by the College" as retaliation for his proposed creation of a student-faculty mental health initiative in September 2015.
Oct. 26, 2015, students in Dessler's sections of Introduction to International Politics and Theories of the International System received an email from department chair John McGlennon, who reported that Dessler had been placed on administrative leave and would be replaced by a new instructor.
Two days later, Dessler emailed students saying he had not been informed of this development. However, during a Nov. 2 phone conversation with Provost Michael Halleran, he agreed to take leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, citing grief and fatigue following the recent death of his sister and ongoing divorce settlement.
According to a Nov. 5 note from Dessler's psychiatrist, his "grief, difficulty with focus and maintaining routine" were apparent from Oct. 6 and would likely persist until March 1, 2016.
Jan. 26 and 27, 2016, Dessler communicated with College officials regarding the end of his medical leave. In response, Chief Human Resources Officer John Poma informed Dessler that the College would not allow him to return to work until he submitted a physician recertification form. Once this form had been received, the College could also require Dessler to undergo an independent medical examination.
Feb. 28, Dessler was arrested by the William and Mary Police Department after allegedly sending threatening emails to McGlennon. The messages came from an anonymous account and included passages such as "Let the terror begin!" and "You'll stop laughing soon, I guarantee it."
Less than a month later, March 18, Dessler was arrested for a second time after sending an email to several College officials. According to court documents, this second arrest stemmed from Dessler's alleged violation of the state's cyber-stalking statute and resulted in strict limits being placed on his ability to communicate with College students, faculty and administrators. March 24, Poma contacted Dessler regarding his medical leave.
"We realize that these past few weeks and months have been difficult for you," Poma wrote in the letter. "The university is taking the unusual step of extending your period of paid medical leave because of our sincere interest and hope that you have access to care to enable your return."
Over the next three months, Dessler remained on leave. He was arrested twice more, first for missing a bond hearing (May 11) and next for responding to former students seeking career advice, thereby violating his ban on contact with individuals connected to the College (June 22).
At the end of July, Dessler contacted Poma to discuss the approaching end of his second leave. Citing Poma's March 24 letter, he said he had sought medical care and intended to resume full-time teaching during the fall 2016 semester.
In response, Poma stated that Dessler would not be able to return from leave until the College received "documentation from a qualified medical provider that you are able to resume your duties and perform the essential functions of your job and/or that you do not pose a direct threat of harm to yourself or others." If Dessler could not provide a Family and Medical Leave return-to-work certification, his period of paid leave would end Aug. 9.
Despite continued communication between Poma and Dessler, including a July 27 letter in which Dessler said he would "work to come up with yet another proposal to start a dialogue" and an Aug. 8 email in which Poma outlined Dessler's options (do nothing, apply for long-term disability, retire, resign or seek to return to work), Dessler's leave ended Aug. 9 without concrete plans for moving forward. He retained tenure, but his employee status was listed as "inactive." Within two weeks, his pay, insurance benefits and College email access ended. In an Aug. 10 email to Poma, Dessler characterized the change in his employment status as "termination."
"The university dismissed a tenured professor with an excellent 32-year record without anything close to adequate cause or due process," he added. "…I would therefore respectfully request that the required corrective action be taken immediately."
Sept. 8, three emeritus faculty members — former Provost P. Geoffrey Feiss, Chancellor Professor of English Emeritus Terry Meyers and Chancellor Professor of Sociology Kate Slevin — addressed the provost and Faculty Assembly in a letter arguing that Dessler had been terminated without a hearing, in direct violation of the Faculty Handbook and his due process rights.
"In all our years of service at the College, these actions constitute the most egregious evisceration of the Faculty Handbook that we have seen and indeed could imagine," the emeritus faculty wrote.
In an interview with The Flat Hat, Feiss said he took action in hopes of preserving fundamental faculty rights.
"This was essentially throwing out the Faculty Handbook and the principles and procedures that had been worked on for a long period of time as a contract between the faculty and the administration," he added.
In response, Halleran sent a memo to the Arts & Sciences Faculty Affairs Committee, the Faculty Assembly Executive Committee and the Faculty Assembly Faculty Affairs Committee. He copied individuals including College President William Taylor Reveley, University Counsel Deborah Love and the three emeritus faculty members who had sent the Sept. 8 letter.
Halleran denied the emeritus faculty members' claims (citing Dessler's retained tenure) and stated that Dessler was ineligible for a hearing.
"I was very disappointed to read the memo you and others received," he wrote. "…The allegations made in this memo, if true, would indeed be alarming. None of them however, is true."
Jan. 13, 2017, Dessler was arrested by WMPD for the fifth time after sending emails to McGlennon and various College officials, including Love.
One email described the university counsel of an unidentified college being "strung up and strangled by the neck and she is choking and grasping for breath."
The email continued, "'the Mentally Ill Winner who Put These Losers to Death' will be watching the pain, knowing that both victims, whoever they are, are swinging back and forth, wishing they could do something, anything, but they are now dead, forever, and humiliated."
Unlike the previous four charges, which were all dropped, the January 2017 charge went to trial in May. In a letter to Judge Charles Maxfield, who presided over the case, Feiss wrote that Dessler was "incapable of any physical harm to another human being. … This unconscionable incarceration for presumed mental illness [is] deeply troubling." Ultimately, Maxfield deferred making a decision on the case until May 2019.
June 18, Dessler officially resigned from his tenured position, writing that he felt this was the only way to avoid continued arrest and harassment by the College.
Sept. 28, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission closed an investigation into Dessler's claim of discrimination by the College. In its "Dismissal and Notice of Rights Memo," the EEOC said it had been unable to conclude that the information obtained violated given statutes.
The memo continued, however, to explain "this does not certify that the respondent is in compliance with the statutes. No finding is made as to any other issues that might be construed as having been raised by this charge."
Dec. 27, Dessler filed a discrimination lawsuit against the College. According to the Sept. 28 EEOC memo, the commission's dismissal of the case gave him the right to file this suit.
In the complaint, Dessler alleged that the College violated his First Amendment right to free speech, declined to grant due process protections associated with termination and failed to provide reasonable accommodation for a disclosed mental disability. Dessler further claimed that the College's actions stemmed from his proposed creation of a joint student-faculty mental health initiative.
The day Dessler filed his claim marked 798 days since the Oct. 21, 2015, email that resulted in WMPD removing him from campus. The last time he had met with students in person, Oct. 26, 2015, was 793 days ago. Dessler had spent 77 of these 798 days in jail, including 45 on charges that were later dropped.
By Sarah Smith
When former government professor David Dessler decided to go on paid medical leave in November 2015, it was not clear to his students what the next steps would be. Some worried they would not receive credit for the class, while others worried that he would not return in time to be their major adviser.
One thing his former students did not expect was that the series of cryptic emails that began Oct. 21, 2015, would continue until he filed his lawsuit in December 2017. As one student, Jonathon Skavroneck '19 said, the events of that first semester were "bizarre."
Although the barrage of emails initially slowed down when Dessler went on medical leave, they picked back up in February 2016, when Dessler was arrested for allegedly sending "threatening" emails from a Tor-based email provider, which allows for anonymous communication. WMPD determined that these emails were from him because of references to Star Trek, a franchise of which he was a known fan.
In March 2016, Dean of Arts and Sciences Kate Conley emailed the students in his Introduction to International Politics class, addressing an email that some received from the same Tor-based provider.
In reflecting on the events of his sophomore year, Nick Flanagan '18 said the College did not do enough to inform students about what was going on. He said that he and his peers mostly received Dessler's side of the story through his frequent emails, but had little context for the legal matters, including his arrests, which Dessler discussed.
Flanagan said that he was unsure what to do at the time, although he was aware that some of his peers were discussing the emails on social media. In retrospect, he said that any action he took would have been to support Dessler, whom he saw as an intelligent and respectable professor. Flanagan also said that he was hoping to take another class with him in spring 2016.
"I never thought any of them were threatening or creepy or scary, but a lot of them were a dude who was dealing with a lot of stuff, a whole thing with his mental health," Flanagan said. "In the context of the situation, it was super weird. If somebody wrote [the emails] as a post on a blog, you'd read that and be like 'I am super understanding of that' but in that context, it was like, what the hell is going on?"
The last time Flanagan received an email from Dessler was late 2017.
"I received like six emails that day … these ones were much more reasonable [than those from October 2015]," Flanagan said. "These ones are weird in the context that it had been so long, I almost forgot about this. It's two years later, I had forgotten about all that. I think he was told not to interact with us in any way. I don't think it was fair to do that."
Skavroneck also said that he read the emails, but did not further engage with them.
"They didn't evoke any strong emotions in me, other than memories of what happened that fall," Skavroneck said. "I wasn't too concerned about them either. I considered forwarding them to college administration, but [decided] against it because they were harmless messages that we could all just ignore."
Both Flanagan and Skavroneck remember Dessler discussing the campus's climate relating to mental health — and Flanagan said that many of the problems Dessler described are ones that he too perceives as affecting students.
According to Flanagan, Dessler would often relate psychiatry to real-world lessons. Flanagan said that one of his biggest takeaways was that something unexpected, like Dessler's sister dying from cancer, could happen at any moment.
Flanagan said that Dessler also identified problems at the College, and asked students to share their experiences with heavy workloads and busy exam periods. Flanagan said that a few years later, he still believes students at the College are not equipped to handle exam weeks.
Skavroneck said that he remembers Dessler discussing mental health, and that he believes Dessler wanted to promote discussion about the stigma surrounding mental health.

If you would like to serve beef cubes with bulgar, follow the
instructions below:
1 pound beef cut in 1 inch cubes (I used chuck roast)
1 teaspoon salt
6 cups water
Allow the water to boil in a small pot, add the salt and beef.
Skim off the scum when it is formed. Allow to boil until the meat is tender,
approximately 45 minutes - hour and half depending on your meat.
½ Cup uncooked vermicelli noodles (optional)
2 Cups Bulgur #3 coarseness
1 Large onion chopped
3 ½ Cups water* (or 3 1/4 Cups water and 1/4 Cup tomato sauce if you prefer a tomato flavor in gurgur)
2 teaspoons salt
5 Tablespoons vegetable oil separated (3TBLS for noodles and bulgur and 2 TBLS for the onions)
*You can substitute the water with your choice of broth but if you do you will want to leave out the salt in recipe
Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a pot on medium high heat, add the noodles and stir frequently
for a few minutes until the noodles are brown. Add the bulgur and stir frequently until it starts to brown,
about 5 minutes. Add the water and salt and leave uncovered until the water is absorbed,about 7 minutes.
Turn the burner to low, cover and allow to cook for about 25 minutes or until the bulgur does not feel chewy
or elastic. If more cooking time is needed and the bulgur is getting dry, add ¼ cup of water at a time until
it is done. While the bulgur is simmering, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a pan on medium high heat and sauté
the onions until they start to brown and set aside. When the bulgur is done, turn the burner off and stir in
the onions and beef.

A good article about keeping employees engaged hit my inbox this morning. It was provided by Accenture and cites research showing (not surprisingly) that engaged workers tend to perform much better than their disengaged counterparts. The article makes the point that workers in nonprofits tend to stay with their organizations even if they are not well engaged with the nonprofit's leadership because they ARE engaged with the organization's stated mission.
So how, one might ask, do people who are engaged with the mission become disengaged from the entities' leadership? The article lists elements that are important in increasing engagement and the central theme is the creation of a culture of trust and respect. So if an organization's leaders belittle employees, treat them like things rather then human beings, or their actions do not routinely appear consistent with what is ostensibly the company's reason for existence, a chasm will form. The article is good reading and can be found here: http://www.accenture.com/us-en/Pages/insight-increasing-employee-engagement-nonprofit-sector-summary.aspx?c=glb_acnemalert_10000216&n=emc_0612

If you've seen an island on a postcard, it's probably on this list. Some grant access to beaches, bays, boulders and blowholes; others offer caves, coves, cliffs, culture, ruins, reefs, rainforests and rum. Whatever your version of paradise, these 20 islands across the world deliver eye candy galore.
Travel to Capri, Italy, for natural beauty and an unforgettable, elevated vista. Or visit Thailand and, at the same time, the former sets of Pierce Brosnan's James Bond movies. Looking to be more immersed in island culture? Plan a trip to Samoa, and experience the "Fa'a Samoa" way of life. You also can't go wrong with the Greek island of Paxos and its perfect representation of Greek culture and life.
Get ready to be blown away by the most beautiful islands in the world.
Capri, Italy
Who hasn't been spellbound by images of Capri's electric Blue Grotto? This glowing sea cave impresses even veteran globetrotters, and it's only the beginning of one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Ash-white limestone cliffs, hidden slivers of beach, a towering natural arch — it's no wonder Capri has been a tourist hub since ancient Roman times.
Tip: Climb up to the ruins of Emperor Tiberius' Villa Jovis, circa 27 CE, for a heart-stopping vista.
Whitsundays, Australia
The delicate Great Barrier Reef is one of the earth's most extensive coral-reef system, supporting more than 1,600 species of fish, whales, rays, octopuses, dolphins and more. Nestled in the heart of this world wonder are the 74 Whitsunday Islands, all but four of which are protected national parklands.
Bask in luxury at a high-end resort like Hamilton Island, and book a seaplane or helicopter flight to admire sights like Heart Reef and the swirling silica sands of Whitehaven Beach's Hill Inlet at one of the best islands in the world.
Bali, Indonesia
What's most stunning in Bali? Dazzling beaches like Nusa Dua, Seminyak and Jimbaran Bay? Ubud's terraced rice fields, sacred forest and ancient monuments? Or the island's 10,000 intricate temples, including Pura Empul (the one you bathe in) and Uluwatu sea temple?
Experience all of the above, and decide for yourself. The Land of the Gods also boasts a loveliness that is more than skin-deep, thanks to its warm people and ubiquitous, inclusive spirituality.
James Bond Island, Southern Thailand
A limestone spike rising dramatically from the emerald waters of Phang Nga Bay, James Bond Island (Koh Tapu; "Nail Island" in Thai) earned its moniker from appearing in two 007 movies: The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) and Tomorrow Never Dies (1997).
Excursions depart from the popular resort areas of Phuket, Khao Lak and Krabi on photogenic lontail boats. On the tour, explore secret lagoons, craggy sea caves and a floating village at one of the most famous islands.
Kauai, Hawaii
Christened the Garden Island, Kauai's splendor extends from its vermillion Waimea Canyon, plunging down 3,600 feet, to its rugged Napali Cliffs, stretching up 4,000 feet. Often dotted with dozing monk seals, Kauai's Poipu Beach has appeared on Dr. Beach's esteemed list of America's Best Beaches.
Rivers, rainforests and waterfalls garnish the interior. Don't miss a photo op of Wailua Falls, famously featured in the opening credits of Fantasy Island, on one of the prettiest islands in the world.
Bora Bora, the Islands of Tahiti
Every imaginable shade of blue manifests in the lagoon of Bora Bora, aka the Jewel of the South Seas. Coral motus ring the main island like a sandy sash, and, beneath the surface, dolphins, rays, sharks, turtles and colorful fish throng. Presiding over it all is the moss-green volcanic peak of Mount Otemanu where God descended to the island on a rainbow, according to local lore.
Timeless grass-skirted dancers and overwater bungalows round out the sublime scene on one of the most exotic islands.
The Seychelles' towering beach boulders are a mainstay on computer desktops, but they're more than merely aesthetic: They also fascinate geologists who have identified the Seychelles as the only mid-ocean islands formed of granite.
Other superlatives: The archipelago is the oldest on the planet, and it has the cleanest air. Naturally, celebrities flock here. If you want to vacation a la British royalty, stay on North Island, where Prince William and Kate Middleton spent their 2011 honeymoon.
Santorini, Greece
Possibly the location of the storied island of Atlantis, Santorini is the stuff of screensavers and wall calendars. Red-, black- and white-sand beaches rim its caldera lake — one of the largest in the world — while iconic whitewashed buildings stair-step up the hillside overlooking the Aegean Sea.
Photo ops abound, from centuries-old windmills and ancient ruins to blue-domed churches and colorful wooden fishing boats. Stay in a boutique cave hotel for the full experience.
St. Lucia, Caribbean
Nicknamed "The Helen of the West" (an allusion to the beauty of Helen of Troy), St. Lucia stuns with its signature feature: the UNESCO-listed twin Pitons. Reaching heights of about 2,500 feet, the voluptuous volcanic spires complement the island's other attractions, including verdant jungles, sparkling silver-sand beaches, haunting sugar-estate ruins, and a mineral-rich natural mud bath.
Meanwhile, the island's most famous resort, Jade Mountain, is an architectural gem in its own right.
Drop-dead gorgeous Fiji is a filmmaker's dream. Spy its Mamanuca island chain in Cast Away and Survivor; ogle its Yasawa archipelago in the 1980 version of Blue Lagoon. A dizzying amount of natural beauty — from mountains and mangroves to rivers and reefs — swathes Fiji's 333 islands, and awe-inspiring wildlife (whales, sea turtles, dolphins, parrots) is the icing on the cake.
For scenery with a side of luxury and exclusivity, reserve a bure (villa) at one of Fiji's numerous private-island resorts.
Big Island, Hawaii
The Island of Hawaii (i.e., the Big Island) contains 10 of the world's 14 climate zones, the only place on the planet with so many condensed into one small region. Lush, tropical terrain rules the green, wet, windward side of the island (see Akaka Falls and Waianuenue/Rainbow Falls) while more arid beauty is on display at Hapuna Beach Park.
You can even enter an ice climate at the mystical summit of Mauna Kea volcano. Also, Lake Waiau is one of the highest lakes in the United States.
Holding the largest number of overwater-bungalow resorts in the world (more than 75 and counting), the Maldives understands its best asset is the gin-clear, abundant waters of the Indian Ocean. When you're not snorkeling, diving or gazing at the rich marine life through the floor windows of your water-top villa, continue enjoying the underwater display while dining at 5.8 Undersea Restaurant — or even while getting pampered in Huvafen Fushi's submerged spa.
Palawan, Philippines
Described as the Philippines' last frontier, Palawan boasts two UNESCO World Heritage sites: Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park (don your dive gear) and the Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park (hop in a canoe for a guided tour).
Striking limestone formations, like Ugong Rock and Karst Mountain Elephant Cave, rise starkly from the rice fields of the interior. You can even find overwater bungalows on outlying islands, courtesy of El Nido Resorts.
Hvar, Croatia
With a history dating to the Stone Age, Hvar is as fascinating as it is beautiful. Thirteenth-century walls surround Hvar Town and its red-tiled roofs. The ancient stone ruins of Stari Grad Plain became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2008. A jaunt to the interior reveals rugged mountains, lush vineyards and fragrant lavender fields.
Embark on a boat trip to the Adriatic to snorkel, swim in sea caves and wander secret beaches and seaside hamlets.
Martinique, Caribbean
Dubbed the Isle of Flowers and crowned by 4,583-foot Mount Pelee, Martinique may be the Caribbean's best-kept secret. Some exploration is required to uncover the island's treasures, like the Balata Gardens' Treetop Trail of suspension bridges, Saint-Pierre's 18th-century theater ruins and the poignant Anse Cafard Slave Memorial.
Cocos Keeling, Australia
A group of 27 coral islands that form two atolls in the Indian Ocean, the Cocos Keeling Islands were virtually unheard of until beach activists Brad Farmer and Andrew Short named Cocos Keeling's Cossies Beach as the best in Australia for 2017.
Called the continent's last unspoiled paradise, the remote destination is as special for what's not there (i.e., high-rise resorts, chain restaurants, crowds, traffic) as what is: pristine white sand and a turquoise lagoon that's home to 30,000 sea turtles.
Paxos, Greece
Take everything you want Greece to be — olive groves and tavernas, fishermen and bakers leading quiet village lives, stone villas and cypress trees and brilliant bougainvillea — and put it on a tiny, Ionian island only reachable by boat: That's Paxos.
On the western coast, sheer cliffs, rock arches and 40 sea caves put on a stunning show. Daytrip to the neighboring island of Antipaxos for powder sand and water so aqua, it rivals the Caribbean Sea.
Known as the Cradle of Polynesia, Samoa is notable for its "Fa'a Samoa" way of life. It's a 3,000-year-old social code that prizes family, tradition and the environment. Happily, the landscape is as lovely as the local culture.
On the main island of Upolu, a plunge into the To Sua Ocean Trench swimming grotto is a must. On Savaii, Samoa's largest island, visit caves, waterfalls, blowholes and the Saleaula lava field, formed by a 1905 volcanic eruption that buried five villages.
Cook Islands
Glass-bottom boats with thatched canopies ply shimmering lagoons. Tanned locals in "pareus," a local garb, play ukuleles. Ridged velvet-green mountains punctuate the skyline. Palm trees reach higher than any roof. This is reality in the Cook Islands, a 15-isle archipelago marooned in the South Pacific.
Go on a mountain safari on the main island of Rarotonga, or head to Aitutaki to stay in an overwater bungalow.
Guadeloupe, Caribbean
The so-called pearl of the French Caribbean, Guadeloupe is a butterfly-shaped archipelago of five main islands where volcanoes tower, and 200-plus beaches come in shades from black and white to red and pink. Basse-Terre's tropical forest and the bay of Grand-Cul-de-Sac Marin were declared a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 1993.
From there, island-hop to discover Grande-Anse Beach on Les Saintes; Marie-Galante's rum estates; and La Desirade's 900-foot plateau.

Connecting state and local government leaders
New York, Connecticut, Maryland and New Jersey filed the lawsuit in federal court.
Four states filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Treasury Department and IRS Tuesday, arguing the new $10,000 cap on the federal tax deduction for state and local taxes interferes with their abilities to make policy choices about what government provides in their communities.
The change to the so-called "SALT" deduction was one of the most contentious provisions in last year's Republican tax cut bill. It essentially raises taxes on many residents of states with high state and local taxes, as taxpayers previously were allowed to deduct all or much of those taxes as they did their federal taxes.
Earlier this year, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the lawsuit was coming, while his state and others also worked on other legislation to try to get around the federal tax change.
New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood filed the lawsuit in federal court on behalf of her state, along with the attorneys general of Connecticut, Maryland and New Jersey.
The deduction has been a target on Capitol Hill in the past, but has always been preserved until 2017, when the limits were imposed. In fact, the lawsuit notes the deduction has been in place since 1861, while arguing the full deduction is necessary so that the federal government can't essentially dictate state tax policy by usurping their tax resources.
During debate about the tax cuts, Democrats complained that capping the deduction unfairly targeted "blue" states. For example, the Tax Policy Center found that the average amount claimed in Connecticut was almost $20,000 and more than $22,000 in New York. In comparison, the average amount claimed between 1997 and 2015 in Texas was about $7,800.
"This is their political attempt to hurt Democratic states," Cuomo said in a call with reporters. "It is totally repugnant and hypocritical of the fundamental conservative ideology which they preach—the limited federal government, respect state rights."
New York asserts that state taxpayers will pay $14.3 billion more in federal taxes in 2018, according to a news release. The lawsuit also targets the partisan nature of the debate about the SALT deduction, emphasizing some comments by Republicans about how affected states might need to make different policy decisions.
But during negotiations, advocates were able to get concessions, as some initial versions called for totally axing the deduction. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is named as a defendant in the lawsuit, along with the IRS Commissioner David Kautter and their agencies.
A Treasury spokeswoman said the agency is reviewing the complaint.
But since several states announced their intention to sue earlier this year, some have been skeptical of the tactic and arguments that the capping of the deduction unfairly hurts certain states.
Jared Walczak, a senior policy analyst at the Tax Foundation, a conservative-leaning tax policy group, noted in January that the tax deduction benefits wealthier taxpayers. And he said that both tax policy and federal budget expenditures often affect states and regions differently, but lawsuits aren't necessarily filed. Plus, many taxpayers hit by the SALT deduction cap will get the benefit of lower federal taxes.
"These states' high earners already get the benefit of lower rates and broader bracket widths," he wrote in a blog piece.
The lawsuit cites argues that the U.S. Constitution's 10th Amendment, which grants powers to the states and limits the federal government's power to impose on them, should be in play in this situation. This is because limiting the longtime deduction "interferes" with their ability to guide their own fiscal policies, the lawsuit says.
"By reducing the wealth of taxpayers in the Plaintiff States and undermining the States' revenue sources, the new cap on the SALT deductions will ultimately make it more difficult for the States to maintain their current taxation and fiscal policies, and deprive the Plaintiff States of the ability to raise revenue in the future," the lawsuit maintains.
But Joseph Bishop-Henchman and Jennifer Hill with the Tax Foundation in April argued a 10th Amendment approach in New York's then-anticipated lawsuit didn't make sense, as the states weren't being forced to adopt policies by the federal government.
"The states may argue that because the cap reduces a tax benefit currently enjoyed by some residents of states that generally have higher taxes, there may be implicit pressure on policymakers in those states to reduce state taxes," they wrote. "This pressure, however, is not so large as to deprive state policymakers of any choice in the matter, as demonstrated by the wide variety of state actions in its wake and the lack of any specific direction by Congress on how states should conform to the new federal tax code."
The lawsuit also references the 16th Amendment, which gives Congress the power to collect taxes, saying that when it was ratified in 1913 "it was widely understood that, to the extent the federal government taxed income, it would provide a deduction for all or a significant portion of state and local taxes."
Several of the states in the lawsuit—New York, New Jersey and Connecticut—passed legislation this year aimed at getting around the federal deduction cap. For example, New Jersey's law would allow local governments and taxing districts to set up charitable accounts that would pay for services usually funded by property taxes. Taxpayers would then be eligible to deduct those charitable contributions, according to the Newark Star-Ledger.
But it is unclear whether the IRS will let these "workaround" tax schemes move forward. In May, the agency issued a notice that it will come up with guidance about the measures. That guidance has not yet appeared.

This Article presents a first-of-its-kind analysis of the disciplinary functions of state medical licensing boards-the frequently overlooked administrative agencies designed to serve as the "gatekeepers" of the medical profession. It concludes that medical boards may have lost sight of their primary goal of patient protection and suggests that a renewed focus on professional licensing boards may go a long way towards addressing some of the quality of care problems plaguing the American medical system.
This Article identifies three fundamental legal principles underlying medical boards' authority to discipline physicians: the goal of public protection, substantive due process limitations based on fitness to practice medicine, and the concept of disciplinary minimalism. It demonstrates that boards, which frequently sanction physicians who engage in criminal conduct and other forms of "unprofessional conduct" outside the clinical sphere, often exercise their disciplinary discretion in a manner inconsistent with these fundamental principles. A more effective use of medical boards' scarce resources would involve a focus on physicians whose misconduct is more clearly linked to clinical practice. Accordingly, this Article suggests that boards return their focus to the principles of professional discipline, prioritizing disciplinary actions taken on the basis of competence, rather than character.
