1) People put actual stuffed storks on the front of their house when they are expecting a baby, with its rear end sticking outside and its head poking inside. To passersby, it is meant to look like the baby-delivering stork flew straight into the window. I seem to be seeing a lot of storks come down around this time of year, so while I'm no mathematician, it sure does seem like lots o' Christmas babies seem to have been made in this neck of the woods. 🧐
2) Dutch people love naming their kids things that sound absolutely ridiculous in English. Names like Joke, Freek, or Fokker are totally normal here. In fact, more than normal: they are encountered frequently. A leading Dutch politician's parents decided to bless him with the name: Tiny Kox. Can't make this stuff up, folks.
3) "Dat kan niet" is one of the most common phrases here. It means "that cannot be done." A close runner up is "Het is niet mogelijk" Basically, tough luck. You want your coffee with almond milk? NOPE. You want the cable guy to come this week? NOPE. The Dutch are direct and don't care what anybody thinks.
4) When it comes to fashion, not making too big of a statement with your clothing is the best way of making a statement. I tend to blend in here with my affinity for neutrals and minimalist clothing, but when I put on my bright neon colored mountain puffies and beanies, I'm a bit of an eye sore.
5) Dutch people are super into social policing. They love to tell you their opinion on every little thing, regardless of whether or not its asked for. If I had a dime for every single person who tried to tell me how or where to walk my dog / how to pick up his poop / when was an acceptable time to cross the road, I would be as rich as Richard Branson. Fortunately, most of this social policing is mumbled and delivered in Dutch, so I just smile, say uh huh, and continue on my merry way. No bad days over here!
6) Speaking of social policing, the Dutch care a LOT about not wearing shoes in the home / gym. They require you to bring a non-outside pair of shoes to the gym, and will pull you aside and yell at you if they catch you doing so. I'm all for etiquette and cleanliness, but when I've walked two blocks down the street in brand new shoes and hop onto the treadmill, I struggle with really needing to bring an extra "fresh" pair of shoes every time.
7) When it comes to Dutch food, you've likely never heard of someone say 'hey let's order dutch takeout tonight!' why, you ask? Well, when it comes to food, Dutch people like to either: a) mash the hell out of something, b) boil the sh*t out of something, or c) deep-fry the crap out of something! Stamppot is a perfect example Dutch dish, consisting not surprisingly of: a) mashing and b) boiling. Step 1: you boil the shit out of various veggies (potatoes, carrots, etc.). Step 2: you mash the hell out of all of them, throw a little sausage on the side, and voila, a perfect Dutch meal! Other popular dishes include Zuurkoolstamppot (sauerkraut mashed with potatoes), Andijviestamppot (endive mashed with potatoes) or Boerenkoolstamppot (cabbage mixed with mashed potatoes)?! See a pattern?
8 ) Dutch expressions fall into one of 3 categories: expressions relating to farm life, expressions related to Dutch weather, and expressions that make absolutely no sense at all. For example: "als de hemel valt, krijgen we allemaal een blauwe pet" which translates to, "if the sky falls down, we will all be wearing a blue cap." HUH??
9) Another weird phrase: de kat uit de boom kijken, which means "you've got to stare the cat down out of the tree," which is essentially used in the context that sometimes in life, you've just got to let things work themselves out.
10) A final phrase for your week: roeien met de riemen die je hebt, which translates to "row with the oars that are given to you," i.e. do as much as you can with the things you possess. May we all "bloom where planted" this week and do the most with what we are given - and then some! 👍🏼

A Day Trip To Monarto Zoo From Amblemead
Monarto Zoo is a fantastic SA attraction just a short drive from Amblemead!
image courtesy of http://www.murrayvalleystandard.com.au/
Visitors and residents of Adelaide should count themselves lucky that they can visit not one, but two beautiful Zoos. Adelaide Zoo is nestled between the historic and heritage listed homes of North Adelaide and the enchanting Botanic Gardens in the heart of the City; perfect for a day trip or leisurely stroll on your lunch break. If you think that is impressive, take the trip to Monarto Zoo.
The trip to Monarto from Amblemead, Mt. Barker, is a short 25-minute drive on the Freeway. Choosing the best day to go? Definitely not in the 40 degree weather we have been experiencing of a late! A cool, slightly overcast day will make the hours of exploration that little bit more comfortable.
Drive up to the entrance's oversized gates and you suddenly feel like you might be entering a wildlife park in Africa. The dry and dusty winding path to the car park transports you out of Adelaide and into 'the wild'. Our recommended route of discovery for the day?
- Head straight to the Emu Wallaby Track and get up close and personal with the track's namesakes. You can walk within the enclosure but it is still advised to keep some distance, especially whilst they are napping!
- Next, walk a little further to the Chimpanzee enclosure; watching the goings-on of the close-knit family and friends inside, is truly a spectacle worth 'hanging' around for. The bond between Mother Zombi and her children Enzi (2yrs) and Zuri (5yrs), is particularly amazing and very much like watching a human parent with their child – they do share 98.7% of their DNA with us!
- Walk the short distance back towards the entrance and take the Zu-Loop shuttle to see the rare Mongolian Przewalski Horses, at one point extinct in the wild. On the route, you will also catch a glimpse of the White Rhino, an animal that is almost never seen unless in a park such as Monarto.
- Make a stop at the Lion lookout and watch staff feed the pride. You will only ever see males or females out at one time to avoid boisterous behaviour.
- Before making the trip back to the start, catching sight of the elusive Cheetah is truly special. Very rarely seen in the wild by tourists, you may get the chance to see this animal from a very close distance (in the safety of a van of course). The day the Amblemead team made the trip, we had the pleasure of seeing them bolt from a rest under a shady tree and it was a magical sight.
Monarto is home to some of the most amazing animals, few of which we may never get to see in their natural habitats because of the threat of extinction. The animals at the Zoo roam freely on hectares of land and it is truly an experience for young and old. Enjoy the nature that abounds in this part of South Australia!

Values-driven business is key to competitive advantage
CANADA'S INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION AS AN HONEST AND TRUSTWORTHY PARTNER that cares about good governance, social justice and sustainability carries considerable weight in a world struggling to cope with mounting economic and environmental challenges.
Yet many Canadian companies still don't appreciate the competitive advantage they could gain by embracing the type of values that have elevated Canada's standing on the global stage, says Leor Rotchild, executive director of Canadian Business for Social Responsibility (CBSR).
"When it comes to business, Canada seems confused about what values we all share and what we aspire to," he says. "Too often, we Canadians define ourselves by what we are not. What we need is a coherent set of Canadian business values. Being good enough isn't just about competency; it's also about decency – and the great news is that, as Canadians, we have this within us."
CBSR believes the values that should underpin Canadian business are collaboration, eco-consciousness, ethics, gender balance, global-mindedness, inclusivity, innovation and purpose driven, which are the types of values that boost Canada's international image time after time in global surveys.
For example, a 2017 Globescan/PPC survey of 18,000 people in 19 countries asked respondents to rate 16 countries and the European Union on whether their influence in the world is "mostly positive" or "mostly negative." Canada was ranked number one above Germany, Japan, France and the UK. By comparison, the U.S. came in at number 12.
While Canada has slipped from its higher ranking in previous years, it is still considered to be one of the world's most reputable countries, coming in at seventh in 2018 behind Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Norway, New Zealand and Australia in the Reputation Institute (RI) annual survey, which bases its rankings on factors such as how welcoming, safe, beautiful, principled and ethical a country is.
But apparently Canadians don't see those values reflected to the same extent in local companies. The 2018 RI ranking of firms operating in Canada asked 27,000 individuals to rank companies on products and services, innovation, workplace, governance, citizenship, leadership and financial performance.
The top four – Google, LEGO, Rolex and Nintendo – are foreign firms, and only four of the top 20 – MEC (Mountain Equipment Co-op), Jean Coutu Pharmacy, Canadian Tire and Shoppers Drug Mart – are Canadian.
RI also found the willingness of Canadians to trust business dropped by a significant nine points from 2017 to 2018 due to volatility in perceptions of corporations and concern that companies were not living up to their stated values.
However, RI found Canada's most reputable companies bucked the downward trend in consumer trust through their social responsibility activities.
Stéphane Glorieux, president, Keurig Canada, says consumers – and millennials in particular – are transforming the way companies communicate, sell and engage.
"As a demographic, they are more likely to consider socially responsible and environmentally friendly products, which creates a business imperative," he adds. "And they are influencing other generations to do likewise."
At the same time, there has been a shift in how organizations think about and incorporate inclusive, ethical and environmental strategies into their business planning and operations, says Mr. Glorieux, noting that businesses are realizing they have the presence and power to positively impact the environment, communities and partners, while generating business, social and environmental benefits.
"At Keurig, we are committed to doing more than what's expected of us, and we've worked to integrate social responsibility into all aspects of our business, so it's ingrained in everything we do – from improving the lives of coffee farmers to caring for our Earth and local communities. And we partner with organizations that share our vision, because together we can accomplish more," he says.
For example, this year, through our company's Let's Play initiative we'll partner with a community organization in Montreal to build a playground in an underserved area in great need of quality installations for youth. By doing so, not only are we helping strengthen the community's social fabric, we're also creating a space where families can thrive," he says.
Robert Fosco, vice-president, corporate sustainability and responsibility at Export Development Canada (EDC), says showing leadership in social responsibility can be a big advantage for Canadian companies operating overseas.
"When we think about Canadian values, we think about qualities like trust, integrity, ethics, diversity and hard work. These are all part of Canada's brand, and Canadian companies do best when they leverage that brand when they do business globally," he says.
While Canadian companies need to be careful when operating in jurisdictions where business standards and practices are different from at home, they can still find opportunities to lead by example, adds Mr. Fosco.
"International business is evolving rapidly, and companies everywhere are realizing that sustainable and responsible practices are good for the bottom line," he says. "Research shows that companies that embed sustainable and responsible business early on tend to outperform those that don't. More and more, our investors, customers, employees and shareholders are demanding that companies meet the highest standards of social responsibility – and I think companies are getting the message.
MEC CEO David Labistour says while many Canadians believe Canadian companies are global role models for best business practices based on the country's reputation as a fair and honest broker in world affairs, the reality is more complex.
Canadian companies simply don't have the global muscle to significantly influence challenges like climate change, he says, and their good business practices at home and abroad are often driven more by legislation, such as fair employment laws and environmental protection standards, than ethical commitment.
Canadian companies need to take a more pragmatic view of what it means to do business based on Canadian values.
Mr. Rotchild says MEC is a good example of a company applying Canadian values to its business, pointing out that it has established strategic, long-term relationships with outdoor-related non-profit partners such as Leave No Trace Canada, through which MEC encourages staff to become master educators and train people on responsible outdoor recreation.
"We need more companies to take bold action and champion the adoption of Canadian business values," he adds. "CBSR is bringing together a national network of Canadian leaders, and through greater collaboration, we can make business a more competitive force for good."

Así que… Hmm… The Pokémon Company International nos acaba de enviar un comunicado de prensa… Y contenía la imagen que ven arriba. Además de lo siguiente:
El Pokémon Machamp ha sido confirmado como la cara oficial de la campaña de ropa interior más candente de año, «MaChamps». La campaña ya está rompiendo records, ya que Machamp es reconocido como el primer Pokémon que rompe el molde y consigue un gran contrato de modelaje.
Obviamente, esto es parte del día de las bromas de abril. Pero es la primera vez que The Pokémon Company decide unirse y traernos su propia broma. Pueden leer el comunicado comleto en inglés a continuación:
Machamp signed as face of exclusive new spring underwear campaign 'MaChamps'
The first Pokémon to officially score a high-profile modelling contract, Machamp is now being touted as the style icon of the century.
April 1, London, United Kingdom
IT'S OFFICIAL: Spring 2017 is here, and with each passing season come the hottest new fashion and couture. It looks like this season is set to be the most iconic yet, as the Superpower Pokémon Machamp has now officially been confirmed as the face of this year's hottest underwear campaign, "MaChamps". The campaign is already breaking records, as Machamp is now recognised as the first Pokémon to break the mould and land a high-profile modelling contract.
Inspired by Machamp's own markings and the essence of nature, the campaign aims to take the concept of undergarments back to basics whilst challenging everything we thought we knew about underwear. Elegant, casual, stylish and functional, "MaChamps" will showcase something for everyone's personal taste.
Avril Fürst, newly appointed VP of Underwear at The Pokémon Company International, commented, "It is great to see such an inspirational Pokémon like Machamp headlining what some are calling the fashion campaign of our generation. We can't wait to see Machamp slaying the runway across the world at some of this year's highest-profile fashion events. Machamp truly deserves recognition in the style hall of fame, and this campaign will highlight that incredible talent to a global audience."
More details regarding the "MaChamps" campaign are expected to be revealed throughout the month at key fashion showcases, so make sure to keep a look out!

De Martino's estate Chardonnay is a great bottle of wine that doesn't sacrifice varietal character or sheer drinkability in its bid to be ethically produced. Two thirds are fermented and aged in steel tank, while the rest spends it's time in used oak barrels.

frequently asked questions
What's this all about?
The very concept of human rights – that we should all treat each other with basic decency and respect – is not something we can take for granted.
Australians overwhelmingly believe that we should be all treated fairly and equally – that who you are, where you're from or what you look like shouldn't determine your opportunities in life. But without a Charter of Rights, we have to put our blind trust in politicians to do the right thing. And we know from our history that governments don't always do the right thing!
Now is the time for all of us to make sure the values we believe in – like fairness and equality – are properly protected. We need an Australian Charter of Human Rights so that everyone's rights are protected and people have the power to hold governments to account when they violate our basic human rights.
So we're asking people to stand up, speak up and get involved in making it a reality. Democracy is more than ticking a box once every four years. This is a chance for everyone – no matter where we're from or who we vote for – to come together to build a strong Charter of Human Rights for Australia, to shape the future we want.
Does Australia need a Charter of Human Rights?
Yes. Australia is the only western democracy without a national Human Rights Act, Bill of Rights or Charter of Rights.
We need a Charter of Rights to protect all of us from the Australian Government crossing the line and breaching our human rights.
In 2009, the largest ever nationwide consultation on human rights protections was conducted, with almost 9 out of 10 Australians consulted supporting a Charter of Rights. An independent panel of experts headed by Father Frank Brennan recommended that Australia adopt a Charter of Human Rights (read the report summary and recommendations).
What will a Charter of Human Rights do?
A Charter of Rights will do two vital things:
Firstly, the government will have to properly take into account our human rights when creating new laws and policies and delivering services – like aged care, Medicare, Centrelink disability services, and education funding.
Secondly, people will have the power to hold the government to account if it does cross the line and violate our rights.
What kind of rights would it protect?
An Australian Charter should protect all of our fundamental human rights – everything from our right to see a doctor when we're sick, to ensuring all kids get a good education whether their parents are rich or poor, and for the government not to intrude in our private lives.
Concerned citizens should be able to come together and speak out on the issues we care strongly about, so free speech and the rights to gather together and protest also need to be protected. And our right to be treated equally and to be free from discrimination needs stronger protection, as does freedom from torture to stop our government ever playing a part in unforgivable human rights abuses.
The Australian Charter of Rights that the Human Rights Law Centre is currently drafting would protect in law all of the fundamental human rights set out in the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
What form would the Charter take, what's the model?
The most effective protection for our human rights would be a Charter of Human Rights in our Constitution – similar to Canada or South Africa after apartheid.
Changing our Constitution would require a referendum. However, the Australian Parliament can create a legislative Charter of Human Rights at any time. A legislative Charter could be changed by the Parliament at any time without needing a referendum.
Governments have held various consultations and inquiries, and there are number of ways to get it done, but the Human Rights Law Centre says the two key points are:
The Charter should protect all human rights and all of us – politicians can't pick and choose which rights or who deserves human rights protections.
It must be enforceable – people must have the power to take action if their rights are violated, because there's no point saying you have a Charter if you can't do anything to protect your human rights when the government breaches them.
What are the chances of achieving a Charter of Rights in the current political climate?
The Australian Parliament has the power to pass legislation to create a Charter of Human Rights at any time. Our task is to convince enough MPs that this is something people feel strongly about and want to see happen.
The good news is that both the Labor Party and the Australian Greens are already supportive. The Greens have a policy to create a Charter of Rights and Labor's policy platform includes a commitment to consider whether Australia's human rights framework "could be enhanced through a statutory charter of rights".
So with a Federal election due to be held in the first half of 2019, we want to be ready to build on these promising policies and put this issue firmly on the political agenda.
Together we can transform Australia's human rights landscape.
How can people get involved?
We want to bring together people from all walks of life. People who – despite differences – are all united in our shared belief that our communities are better when we all treat each other with respect.
We've got a range of community activities planned and will be unveiling the text of our Charter of Human Rights later in the year. The best thing you can do right now is to sign up via our petition to stay informed or help us build the campaign by making a donation today. Thanks!
The Human Rights Law Centre's executive director, Hugh de Kretser, delivered RMIT's 2018 Higinbotham Lecture, where he put forward the case for an Australian Charter of Human Rights.
The full transcript of the lecture is available to download here.
Coming soon…
We'll be developing a series of resources for any organisations or individuals who want to learn more about how a Charter of Rights would protect human rights in our law and give people the power to hold governments to account. We'll also be sharing notes and a checklist for anyone keen to visit their local MP about this issue.
So stay tuned and if you haven't already make sure you sign up for our updates!
Victoria's charter of human rights & responsibilities
Victoria's Charter of Rights came into effect in 2008 and protects 20 human rights.

Hold Italy's artisan history in your hands.
coming to Italy
walking through medieval villages
experiencing artisan ceramic, glass and weaving studios
pit firing ceramics in an olive grove
visiting a biodynamic winery
cooking at one of the top rated Agriturismi and cooking schools in Umbria
taking a meditational walk in the Francis of Assisi Woodlands
Welcome to the Fire and Food Workshop.
Hosted by Letizia Mattiacci, owner and instructor at the Alla Madonna del Piatto B&B and Cooking School and Diana Strinati Baur, ceramic artist and creative mentor, this workshop will focus on the wonderful artisan history and makers of central Italy, the cuisine and wines of Umbria - and we will get hands on in Letizia's wonderful olive grove by pit firing ceramics together in the open air.
In 2020 we're offering two workshop dates, in June and November! Come and join us in the time of year that you prefer!
These workshop is both for makers and for those who would like to understand more about the ceramic process. We'll have time to talk about different methods of ceramic production and gain an understanding of how nature can influence this most ancient of artisan crafts. And there are visits - to artisans of all kinds, people who have spent their lives following in the footsteps of their ancestors, producing the most amazing of products. We'll walk through historic towns like Asissi, Foligno and Gubbio, and the Woodlands of St. Francis of Assisi.
It's also a workshop for food lovers, as we'll be cooking together with Letizia in her kitchen! It's an experience not to be missed!
Our beautiful agriturismo sits high above the medieval city of Assisi, where a soft breeze welcome each day. The rooms are beautifully serene, decorated with pieces of art that Letizia and her husband Ruurd have collected over a lifetime of international travel. Comfortable beds, heavy cotton sheets, amazing views assure us a restful sleep. We awake every morning to homemade bread and jams, fruit, juice, coffee and tea.
During the June workshop, we'll visiting a biodynamic winery for a tasting. During the November workshop, we'll visit a local olive oil producer!
2 Workshop Dates:
wednesday, June 17th through monday, June 22th, 2020
wednesday, november 4 through monday november 9, 2020

Letizia's work as a food expert has been published in the American, the New York Times, National Geographic, and many other national and international websites.

The Anywhere Festival is a great opportunity to see new work, and visit fresh venues around the city. The Sip Café has a great location, and it looks like it serves a good breakfast: just across the road from the river at 54 Vernon Terrace, Teneriffe. I shall certainly look to pop along again and sample the menu. However, I did wonder what passers-by thought was going on as a dozen or so of us sat in a semi-circle, on Sunday evening, watching what might have appeared to be striptease. Memo to self: re-read the description of an event booked a few weeks earlier before you go.
I was part of the audience on the final night of the short Anywhere Festival Brisbane run of The Poor Slob & The Good Fairy, staring Lola the Vamp. Dr Lola Montgomery is a graduate of Griffith University's School of Humanities, with a PhD in burlesque—and was film director, film and burlesque performer, and show producer. The show was a combination of silent film (with appropriate background music), interspersed with burlesque performances by one of the film characters 'in the flesh,' and concluding with a performance of 'Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien.'
Le Pauvre Bougre et le bon génie, the 1899 Parisian cabaret script by Alphonse Allais is a witty, 600-word, short story about the encounter between a poor chap, absinthe, and what I thought of as the spirit in a bottle (a genie—or in this performance, a fairy). Directed by Lola Montgomery, and starring Lola The Vamp, Eric Meredith, and Mina Von Lustern, the re-imagining of the story as The Poor Slob & The Good Fairy was first shown at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007. The audience on 17th May seemed to find some of the earlier lines of the film amusing, but there was less laughter as the story unfolded. I quite enjoyed the film: Mina Von Lustern (William Ferguson) played the character of the waiter with style, Lola The Vamp was a coquettish and alluring 'Good Fairy,' and the sepia tones and typeface for the script were well-chosen.
I also liked the idea of the fairy interrupting the film: bringing it to life, and perhaps also a reference to intervals projectionists needed when changing show reels for early films. I had anticipated that the live performances might link in more closely with the story told in the film (I am guessing that perhaps these were representations of some of the Parisian dancers and performers that the "poor slob" was to spend his last francs on?). But I would suggest that the interjections would be better achieved if there was a corresponding shift in lighting and sound. A fellow Anywhere Festival reviewer commented on lighting and technical problems on the opening night. At the end of the run we experienced fewer technical issues, but I struggled a little with the sound and lighting. For example, I missed most of the short introductory speech. I also felt that the lighting needs to be addressed (even if just with investment in a couple of lamps). I am all for creating an atmosphere, but there is a balance to be had between low light and being able to see (and hear) a performer. Rather than heralding the change in pace with music and lighting, Lola the Vamp had to tell the audience that "this is the burlesque bit." But perhaps that's all part of the new burlesque, or retro-burlesque, which I now discover is part of Australian Absinthe Culture (see absinthe.com.au).
I am sure that show will continue to evolve and develop. As Lola the Vamp noted, in the concluding speech, events such as the Anywhere Festival allow performers to test their work out and to experience 'self-producing.' Perhaps with a bigger budget, better lighting, and more robust technical equipment, the show will be more successful. For future publicity, I'd suggest that the producers consider adding in a more accurate estimate of running time, and perhaps also make the age guide part of the show description (there was an MA15+ reference, but only next to the running time, under the address). Paying audiences might expect that shows will approximately to the time advertised (17th May was the final night of the short run, when the show ran for half of its advertised time). Of course, if they had noticed the show was advertised as 90min then potential audiences would have also seen the MA15+ guide. And, after all, perhaps few under-16s would be out in Teneriffe at 830pm on a Sunday; they'd be getting an early night before calling in for their Sip Café chia and coconut pud in the morning.

Stephens Backs Budget to Increase Funding to Local School Districts
HARRISBURG – Rep. Todd Stephens (R-Montgomery) joined a bipartisan majority (120-81) supporting a final state budget that keeps overall spending below the rate of inflation while increasing state funding for the school districts of the 151st District by more than $9 million over last year's budget.
"This budget continues our efforts to get our fiscal house in order by prioritizing spending and holding the line on taxes," Stephens said.
These five districts will receive the following funding increases:
• Abington School District: $2.09 million (16.53 percent)
• Hatboro-Horsham School District: $1.2 million (14.61 percent)
• North Penn School District: $3.1 million (15.17 percent)
• Upper Dublin School District: $1.1 million (18.24 percent)
• Wissahickon School District: $1.3 million (18.70 percent)
The $27.66 billion budget passed by the Legislature also adds $246 million more to higher education than Gov. Tom Corbett proposed. Temple University has already acknowledged they will not increase tuition this year due to the funding the legislature provided.
The budget also includes $17.8 million to reduce the waiting list for services for 700 special education graduates and 430 individuals with intellectual disabilities with elderly caregivers. In addition, the legislature restored $84 million to the governor's proposed 20 percent cut to county human services programs.
The budget also preserves funding for several environmental programs including $38 million for the Keystone Recreation, Parks and Conservation Fund, $20 million for Agricultural Conservation Easement Purchase (ACEP), and $6 million for the Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant Fund.
"These are challenging financial times," Stephens said. "I worked hard to focus my efforts on education and social services for our most needy citizens without raising taxes. As illustrated by the strong bipartisan support, this budget goes a long way toward fulfilling that goal."

The rope fenders for Wisdom took much monger than expected! I thought they would take a few days to make and that it would give me something to do in my spare time last winter. The reality is they took up all my time last winter.
Each fender consumed massive amounts of rope and time, taking almost the entire winter to complete. Instead of being a "spare time project", they were the main project. I still remember staying in a few weekends to work on and finish the rope fenders.
When the massive sausage shaped behemoths were completed, worry about their weight was frequently asked. They weigh too much for Maddie to lift, so I am forced to bear their full weight. Luckily, being made of rope with hundreds of loops, I can grab on to them in any position; making manhandling them very easy.
While weight may seem undesirable, I actually wanted them to be quite heavy. I have no desire to store bulky fenders in the lazarettes, so I ended up keeping them on the side decks.
When we were in strong weather, these fenders would be picked up by the wind and dribbled on the deck like a bunch of basketballs. The constant pounding and smacking would make me want to throw them overboard! The only thing that stopped me was the fact that they are made of plastic and would only add to the already very serious problem of floating plastic debris in our oceans. For these reasons, I wanted to make fenders that were too heavy to float in the wind!
Now they remain in constant contact with the deck. I am concerned with a boarding wave washing them off, as well as them rolling about the deck when we heel; which is why I tie one of their ends to the toe rail.
When deploying them, having an end tied is also insurance against loss by dropping them in the water. Being made of solid rope, they do not float. Keeping one end tied ensures that if dropped, it can still be recovered.
Keeping that end tied is also helpful in reducing the amount of weight I need to bear when setting them. I can rest the fender on that tied end while I get it into position. Then the other end is tied to hold the fender at the appropriate height. While each fender is very heavy to dead lift, keeping one end tied to work off of greatly reduces the functional weight.
I like to set them right on the rub rail. This ensures that the maximum distance between me and the rafted boat next to me will be maintained. My rub rail also extends a few inches (it's wide enough to comfortably walk on) and I would hate for it to shoot over the fender and dig into someone's gel coat.
For added distance and protection, rafting boats can set their plastic fenders against my rope fenders. This way, none of the boats get hurt and we can all enjoy an afternoon together.

21 October 2014 The Power of Cruciferous
Cruciferous vegetables hold a lofty ranking in the nutrition world. OK, unless you have studied nutrition, or botany, you may be asking, "What on earth is a cruciferous vegetable?" A cruciferous vegetable is a member of the cabbage family that gets its name from the plant's four-petaled flowers that resemble a cross, or crucifer. Some of the most commonly eaten cruciferous veggies include arugula, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collard greens, kale, radish, rutabaga and turnip (1).
One reason cruciferous veggies are such nutrition superstars is the sulfur-containing compounds known as glucosinolates. The sulfur compounds not only cause the unique pungent aroma, but also may lower cancer risk (2). Both lab and population studies have shown links between cruciferous vegetable intake and protection against colon, prostate, breast, and lung cancer. In the lab, glucosinolates break down into biologically active compounds. Animal and cellular research has studied the potential ways these compounds work. They may help protect cells from DNA damage, may inactivate cancer-causing substances in the cell, may help fight viral and bacterial effects, and may decrease inflammation.
Population studies have shown a correlation between higher intake of cruciferous vegetables and lower cancer risk. As with any population study looking at nutrition, it is difficult to make firm conclusions about food intake and disease risk. People who eat more cruciferous veggies often have other healthy habits going on to lower disease risk.
In any case, there are other reasons for including cruciferous vegetables in your diet. They are loaded with nutrients, including beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin C, E, and K, folic acid, minerals and are excellent fiber sources. In addition to potentially lowering your cancer risk, you may also benefit from the anti-inflammatory substances that can lower heart disease and diabetes. Finally, for the calorie-counters out there, the calories are way low! For example, one cup of steamed broccoli has only 44 calories. Not big on fish? A cup of Brussels sprouts has 260mg of omega-3s, while broccoli has 200 mg. For all these reasons, health agencies advise including several servings of cruciferous vegetables per week (3).
Here are some helpful tips for buying and cooking cruciferous veggies:
- Select firm, compact heads without soft spots and no "off odor".
- Choose fresh leaves that have not yellowed.
- Wash fresh vegetables just before using.
- Cook them quickly and try not to overcook for both nutrient retention and to prevent a strong sulfur odor.
- Many cruciferous veggies, like cauliflower, arugula, turnip, broccoli, and radish, are excellent raw.
- Kale and arugula make excellent additions to smoothies.
- If quality fresh veggies are not available, go for frozen.
- Roasting Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and kale is one of the tastiest and easiest ways to prepare these veggies. Turn the oven up to 400 degrees, toss the veggies in a bowl with olive oil and garlic powder, and then roast them on a cooking sheet. Remember, try not to overcook. Delicious and nutritious!

Mark your calendars for #GivingTuesday! #GivingTuesday is a global giving movement that has been built by individuals, families, organizations, businesses and communities in all 50 states and in countries around the world. This year, #GivingTuesday falls on November 28. #GivingTuesday harnesses the collective power of a unique blend of partners to transform how people think about, talk about, and participate in the giving season. It inspires people to take collective action to improve their communities, give back in better, smarter ways to the charities and causes they believe in, and help create a better world. #GivingTuesday demonstrates how every act of generosity counts, and that they mean even more when we give together.
#GivingTuesday is important for us at University Beyond Bars- we are always striving to support our students in prison, who themselves are striving for a better education, and ultimately a better future. Spencer Oberg, one of our former students who spoke at our Unlocking Dreams Fundraiser Gala this year, shared with us the importance of education and his future made possible through our programs:
"Thanks largely to UBB's investment of time and money in my education, the man walking out of the door is a vastly improved version of the one who heard that gavel drop. I have an Associate of Arts degree, a job waiting for me, and a plan to get my Bachelors in the next few years."
We are so excited to be a part of this powerful and inspiring campaign- a global day where you can make a difference to our students, and we want YOU to join us in the movement and give! You can help support our students by donating on our website. Thank you for your generosity and continued support for what we do at University Beyond Bars! We really appreciate it!
