I would like to extol the virtues of a new miracle drug in my life: Cipro antibiotics. I thought my bruised knee was the only casualty of the Qunu workshop, but there was some prolonged repercussions from our time spent in the Transkei. I was convinced that my intestinal tract could handle teeth brushing and occasional tap water drinking while in Qunu and Mthatha, but I was brought quickly back to reality upon our return to East London whenever what bug I picked up reared its ugly head. I thought I was going to have to spend my last 6 days in South Africa getting even more familiar with the bathroom facilities.
After a couple of days of intensive "cleansing", I finally ventured to the doctor's clinic with seriously painful stomach cramps and a fear that I was either going to lose another 10 pounds or expel my spleen, the doctor prescribed Cipro with a promise that it would have me feeling better in no time. I was slightly unconvinced but within 18 hours, I was a totally different woman. I've learned my lesson about Mthatha water for the next time I visit (hopefully a not too far off prospect!) and I also will know to demand Cipro in the very likely event that this happens again in my life!

Kids and more - make relaxing vacation for adults not possible
7 Night Western Mediterranean (Barcelona Roundtrip)
Sail Date: August 16, 2015
Ship: Norwegian Epic
Cabin Type: Balcony
Cabin Number: 11224
Traveled As: Couple
Reviewed: 3 years ago
Review Summary
See my notes below. Rarely do I leave reviews on travel but felt this was important based on my initial expectations from traveling many other times on Cruise ships and this being the first experience on Norwegian. My wife and I don't have kids currently and won't probably try the Norwegian line again at this time. I gave it a poor experience based on expectations and the fact we felt like this was a Disney Cruise without the "WOW". The destinations however were wonderful and we got to experience great cultures, food and more during this trip while off the boat.

No money, no problem for Ohio Obamacare expansion
This article originally appeared on watchdog.org.
Ohio's Obamacare Medicaid expansion will continue until at least July, despite burning through $2.56 billion in federal funding four months early.
Unless enrollment drops abruptly, Medicaid expansion will be more than $1 billion over budget by the end of Ohio's current fiscal year June 30. The expansion's 492,121 January enrollment was 34 percent higher than state projections for July.
Even with the federal government reimbursing Ohio for all of the program's benefit costs, how can the Ohio Department of Medicaid continue the Obamacare expansion without legislative approval?
ODM does not need a new Obamacare expansion appropriation because the agency "has broad authority under Ohio law to operate the Medicaid program," Joint Medicaid Oversight Committee director Susan Ackerman told Ohio Watchdog via email.
"Appropriations for the Medicaid budget are set at the line item level and not by category of service or population," Ackerman said. "Department of Medicaid may pay for Medicaid services from any of their Medicaid service-related line items up to the appropriation set by the General Assembly."
In other words, as long as ODM's total expenditures fall within limits set by state lawmakers, spending approved for traditional Medicaid recipients — children, pregnant women, the physically disabled, the elderly and families below the federal poverty line — can be used for the Obamacare expansion instead.
ODM's enrollment projections have been wildly inaccurate, with high Obamacare expansion enrollment offset by low enrollment from those previously eligible.In January, Ohio had 125,457 more Obamacare expansion enrollees and 149,656 fewer traditional Medicaid enrollees than expected.
By using appropriations meant for traditional Medicaid recipients for the Obamacare expansion, Republican Gov. John Kasich's administration can avoid an emergency request for more money to cover the expansion Kasich implemented unilaterally.
Because the federal government pays for 100 percent of Obamacare expansion benefits and only 62 percent of Ohio's traditional Medicaid benefits, ODM still expects to have state money left in its total budget June 30.
State taxpayers will eventually be stuck with a huge bill if the Obamacare expansion continues, but short-term federal funding makes the expansion "free" for states until 2017.
The left-leaning Urban Institute projected in 2012 that expanding Medicaid would cost Ohio taxpayers $4 billion through 2022. Kasich insists all of the expansion's costs are paid for with "Ohio money," which is demonstrably false.
After adding working-age, able-bodied childless adults to Ohio's Medicaid program in 2013, the Kasich administration turned to the Ohio Controlling Board for permission to spend $2.56 billion in Obamacare money between Jan. 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015.
Kasich touts the program's skyrocketing enrollment as great news for the state, and he built his budget for fiscal years 2016 and 2017 on the assumption Medicaid expansion will continue.
"Gov. Kasich's unilateral expansion of ObamaCare is set to run more than a billion dollars over budget in just the first 18 months," Jonathan Ingram, research director for the free-market Foundation for Government Accountability, said in an email to Ohio Watchdog.
"More able-bodied adults have been put on Medicaid welfare than the Kasich administration thought would ever enroll. Barely a year in, Ohio's Medicaid expansion costs are already spiraling out of control," Ingram continued.
"What happens when the state has to start paying its share of Medicaid expansion costs? Gov. Kasich has already pushed nearly 500,000 able-bodied adults to the front of the line, while nearly 40,000 children and adults with developmental disabilities languish on waiting lists for services," Ingram said.
"He's proposed funding cuts to pediatric hospitals and is now pushing to kick pregnant women off the program," Ingram added, concluding, "With these kinds of cost overruns, who else will Kasich put on the chopping block when the ObamaCare expansion bill comes due?"

Tuition Remission
There are two types of International Student Tuition Remission available to continuing international students on F-1 visas who apply:
• Academic Merit Tuition Remission (Up to $3000/year)
• Campus Involvement Tuition Remission ($2000/year)
Up to $5,000 per year in tuition remission can be earned by F-1 undergraduate degree-seeking international students. Students must reapply for tuition remission each year at the end of each spring semester; the amount granted will be awarded for the following academic year.
Academic Merit Tuition Remission
Only undergraduate degree-seeking international students on an F-1 visa who are not government-sponsored are eligible for this tuition remission and may receive the remission for a maximum of 4 years. Students must be in good academic standing and must have achieved at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA in both the fall and spring semesters. Students must also be enrolled in at least 12 credits during the upcoming semesters in which they will be receiving the tuition remission.
Application Requirements
Undergraduate international students on F-1 visas at UW-Platteville are eligible to receive an Academic Merit Tuition Remission based on their cumulative grade point average (GPA).International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) staff will verify your GPA in PASS prior to granting you this tuition remission.
|Cumulative GPA
|Amount Awarded
|$1,000 ($500/semester)
|$2,000 ($1,000/semester)
|$3,000 ($1,500/semester)
Campus Involvement Tuition Remission
International students wishing to earn a $2,000 ($1,000 per semester) tuition remission for the next academic year based on campus engagement, leadership, and service must: 1) complete at least one cultural service activity per semester, and 2) volunteer at or participate in at least 3 programs or events (per semester) sponsored by the International Programs Office or the International Club.
Only undergraduate degree-seeking international students on an F-1 visa who are not government-sponsored are eligible for this tuition remission and may receive it for a maximum of 4 years. Students must be in good academic standing and must have achieved at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA in both the fall and spring semesters. Students must also be enrolled in at least 12 credits during the upcoming semesters in which they will be receiving the tuition remission. For students planning on doing a co-op, the campus involvement tuition remission that you earn in the fall or spring semester prior to your co-op will be applied to the next fall or spring semester in which you are enrolled full-time (12 credits), provided that you meet other eligibility requirements.
Any international student who falsely states their participation/involvement in campus activities will be considered ineligible to receive this tuition remission. For example, if students sign up for the CASA Program or Conversation Partner Program, but do not comply with the requirements of the program (i.e. not meeting with their community ambassador or conversation partner regularly, for example), they will automatically lose their eligibility for the Campus Involvement tuition remission for the upcoming semester.
Application Requirements
Students must reapply for the Campus Involvement tuition remission at the end of the spring semester each year. In order to be eligible for the Campus Involvement tuition remission for international students next year, you must do the following in the current academic year:

- Present about your country/culture to a local school, community group, or at a campus event

A Bordeaux start-up specialising in luggage delivery
Bordeaux Events was captivated by Deliverbag, a luggage delivery system available in Bordeaux and the Nouvelle Aquitaine region.
Pierre Le Moignic, a young entrepreneur from Bordeaux, founded the 'Deliverbag' start-up in January 2017.
It's aim? To provide a luggage delivery service which covers the entire city of Bordeaux and the Nouvelle Aquitaine region. This secure solution is ideal for delegates who wish to go directly to their event without having to call into their hotel first to drop off their luggage. The baggage is collected upon the customer's arrival at the airport or train station and then delivered to the hotel. On the day of departure, the luggage will again be collected and managed by Deliverbag.
In order to make life easier for business travellers, Deliverbag has a flexible 24-hour booking system where customers can book up to 4 hours before the desired delivery time.
There are no weight or size restrictions on the luggage.
Deliverbag works with an extensive network of partner hotels in the Bordeaux and Nouvelle Aquitaine region.

Now housed in Singapore's Mandarin Gallery along with fine Japanese restaurant Hashida Sushi, the mandate at Beni's is a little more outre – a French-Japanese fusion restaurant where every meal is a blessing. This is fine dining, but the perfection goes way past the food to offer a gastronomic experience like no other on Orchard Road. Helmed by Kenji Yamanaka, whose skill has graced the kitchens of numerous multi-Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe and Japan, Beni's novel concept is to bring discovery menus that are regularly refreshed and that fuse fine, seasonal cuisine sourced directly from Europe and Japan. The results are magnificent.
At Beni's Orchard Road premises, blue lobster meets foie gras meets beef – the limited-release Ozaki wagyu beef, that is. Very rare indeed, Beni is a new breed of fusion restaurant in Singapore, making a serious splash by taking classics of French cuisine and marrying them to the meticulous attention to detail and arcane culinary techniques that are deified in Japan. Head chef Kenji Yamanaka brings experience gained in three-Michelin-starred outfits like Georges Blanc Parc & Spa in France and L'Osier, on his home turf of Tokyo, to the Mandarin Gallery, which also houses sibling Japanese restaurant Hashida Sushi. This stellar curricula vitae means that Beni's lavish lunch and dinner degustation menus are some of the finest in Singapore.
Beni – a French word for blessing, the Japanese word for red. When you book yourself a coveted spot for Beni's lunch or dinner sittings, you are putting yourself in the hands of one of the world's best chefs. Allow him to guide you through a set of Singapore's finest degustation menus, pairing French amuse bouches with Hokkaido scallops and Japanese imperial prawn with quinoa, Suruga Bay red snapper with foie gras, blue lobster from Brittany and Japanese pears, Ozaki wagyu with sea bream and mussels from Mont Saint-Michel (that most fantastical of floating French citadels)... the list goes on, and diners who manage to wrangle a table at Beni's Orchard Road restaurant are likely to wish it would never end. If we hadn't already impressed this upon you already, booking for Beni is absolutely essential.
out of this world food experience! amazing pairing of wines too
Food was delicate in flavour and impeccable in presentation. The warm service completed a lovely evening. The reasonable pricing was also a rarity for Singapore fine dining.
Beni is a gem. Freshness of ingredients is evident in every bite, and all the elements on the plates come together in perfect harmony - both visually and in flavour!
This is the best fine dining experience my wife and I have had in Spore. Beni's attention to detail, the personalized at table serving of food is outstanding. The degustation menu is truly a blend of multiple tastes and paired with the right wines, is memorable.
Food was great but we were not informed of the change in the omakase menu. There used to be a $178++ menu but they silently withdrew it and we were left with only the $258++ menu where a further supplement charge applies for the order of foie gras too. We ended up paying more than $600 for 2 pax, not sure if the food was mindblowing enough to justify the price.
Open concept sitting with chef preparing the finishing touches in front of diners. Good interection with chef. 3 different chefs, one sous chef for entree, 1 main course and 1 for desert. Can sensed the sincerity of the chefs in preparing the food with top grade ingredient from Europe and Japan. The roast pigeon was delicious and not easy to find it in Singapore's menu
Anniversary dinner with the wife. Impeccable service from the uber attentive staff. The food is amazing with the taken-for-granted Japanese perfectionism, attention to detail and highest quality ingredients. Blown away from start to finish.
Great lunch experience seated right where the action is... in front of the chefs's plating counter! Ingredients are fresh and chefs allowed their natural flavours to shine through. Authentic French food done well!
Very good food, excellent presentation, very good service and a special place. I'll come back every month to discover the new menu and I'll invite also some of my friends
Food was good but not exceptional nor particularly inventive. We took the 7 course degustation which felt neither French nor particularly Japenese and was pretty pricey. However the service was very warm and attentive.

Call to make early payments
FARM unions are asking Cardiff to advance Tir Mynydd payments by six to eight weeks to help cashflows. The money is usually due in March but NFU Cymru says the FMD disaster has hit upland areas hard. Delivery of the 2008 Tir Mynydd scheme is still pending EC approval of the Welsh Rural Development Plan.
VC age change
THE Assembly Government has increased the age at which bovine vertebral column (VC) is classed as specified risk material. The changes, from 24 months to 30 months, bring Wales back to its pre-May 2006 position and should lower the cost to cutting plants and butchers. NFU Cymru said it was a boost to producers of beef-on-the-bone from traditional breeds of slower maturing cattle.
Best rams gain
USE of performance recorded rams (EBV 13.19kg) should produce lambs weighing an extra 4.3kg (liveweight) at 21-weeks-old compared with average EBV rams, an HCC open day heard. Carcass grades should also be improved, said Cowbridge farmer Mark Jarvis, who bought two PR Texel rams at September's Institute of Rural Sciences Texel and Suffolk PR ram sale.
SFP 'confusion'
BRECON and Radnorshire MP Roger Williams has identified a small change in SFP forms which may be causing long delays to payments. He said changes to a question on entitlements to graze stock, other than sheep and cattle, on common land, had led to confusion. Farmers should check their entitlement activation statements, he said.
Charles cheery
2007 will go down in history as one of the most difficult UK agriculture has ever faced, Prince Charles believes. Writing for Farmers Weekly, he is optimistic that things will improve, with global warming heralding a sea change in attitudes to local food.
Barcode snag
SALES of local produce are suffering because there are no statistics on imported lamb sold by supermarkets, believes Welsh Lib Dem AM Mick Bates. Data is collected from barcodes, which do not include origin, he said.
Lamb ad boost
RESEARCH by Hybu Cig Cymru in south east England suggests its £1m TV and marketing campaign for Welsh Lamb successfully raised the product's profile: 59% said they would buy Welsh Lamb having seen HCC's TV adverts, compared with 40% in 2006. According to market research company TNS, November lamb sales were up 14.3%.

Styx Lioness's playing on the grass
Good morning everyone from a wet and cold safari.tv camp. It seems the last rain of the season was not 2 weeks ago like we had predicted as we had an amazing downpour last night as if it were summer. And here we sit today not being able to go out on drive because it is still raining outside as I write this. So the weather is seems is not following the seasonal rules at this point. Oh Well – rain is always a good thing in my books regardless of the time of year.
Friday morning myself and Jared went out on the AM drive. For the better part of the drive the animals eluded us but toward the end we had a fantastic herd of Elephant appear and walk across Gowrie Main for us, so we followed. The herd was being trailed by an extremely large elephant bull in musth, so we had to drive at high pace to keep up with them. They eventually managed to evade the large bull and we stuck with him till the end of drive as he pushed along trying to find the herd again.
The afternoon drive also relocated the same herd of elephant which we watched for awhile. Before the sighting we saw the very large water monitor lizard at Twin Dams that was sunning himself as usual on the bank and we also got to see a Bushman's Tea bush which was a first for Tara.
Rolling Over
Saturday started off with a very chilly morning and I was bundled up on the back of the Jigga with Jared presenting. We saw some great birds that morning as well as some Giraffe, a wonderful sighting of a mom slender mongoose and her pup and right at the end a large herd of Buffalo. All in all, a wonderful diverse morning.
The afternoon drive with Tara and Patrick found Karula sauntering down the road – a great sighting all of us have been yearning to see for awhile. Not much later, Mixo joined her which was even better and all the rangers came to have a look. Everyone has been starved of seeing Karula and Mixo for so long that everyone wanted to come and see them. In the midst of this sighting, Floppy Ear the Hyena stopped by to see what the commotion was all about.
We also saw some more Hyena on the night drive following the sighting of the leopard again. We managed to get a bit of a night drive in straight from the PM drive where we also saw Bob the hippo with a play mate at Buffelshoek dam having a 'whale' of a time splashing around.
Impala in the morning sun
Yesterday we had the leopards visit us in camp again during the day. We were all hard at work and heard them 'sawing' right outside. We all went to investigate and found 2 of them lying in the drainage line about 30 metres from our new final control. We tried to get some footage on the camera but as soon as they spotted us they moved off. You never know what the day is going to bring!
Have a wonderful one! Till next time. Kath.

text: The origins of Pizza Wednesdays date further back than March 2016 when Jake made the declaration that on Wednesdays we eat pizza and sometimes wear pink. For both of us, pizza equals nostalgia. Strangely enough, both of our earliest pizza memories involve what some might refer to as a grilled cheese pizza sandwich and in pinch, quickly made in the microwave. We spent hours reading to get our free personal pizzas at Pizza Hut when people actually ate in the restaurant, and birthdays at Happy Joe's Pizza, which would put Chuck E Cheese to shame. Fast forward to our wedding, and there was no room service ordered but instead a call to Pizza Patrol in Fargo to order the holy grail i.e. pepperoni with green olives. Making our own pizza began in Philly when we were developing our fairly limited cooking skills and trying to cut our spending on eating out. What we discovered was a new way to be creative and to share that together as well as with our friends who were willing to be our guests and guinea pigs. As Jake says, whether simple or The Art of French Cooking complicated, if it's made with love it usually tastes good, except for those mussels he made once. After a few weeks in a row of making pizza last year, Jake declared that Wednesdays should be Pizza Wednesdays. It became a way to celebrate the big moments in life and also the little joys like making it to the weekend, or in our case now making it to hump day. The day we brought our son home from the hospital just happened to be a Wednesday and we made a pizza to keep the tradition alive, not to mention the pizza that we had hours after W arrived. So needless to say, we love pizza, because who doesn't? Really, who are you?? Our pizzas are inspired by so many things from places we've been, favorite meals, new recipes, and honestly sometimes leftovers. However, we make them our own and hope you enjoy along the way.

Don't Let the Heat Keep you from Enjoying Yourself!
Weather wise, Los Angeles isn't much different during the summer than it is through the rest of the year. Yes, it might be warmer than the winter months, but the city doesn't really experience the cold like much of the rest of the country. However, that doesn't mean that summer in LA can't be special. The kids are out of school, vacations are planned, and it's up to you to make sure everyone is occupied and entertained. It's not easy to do when everyone is sequestered in the house so we've put together a list of a few must-do events in Los Angeles this summer to get you out and about.

Combine Work and Play in a Fun, Professional Way!
When most individuals think of the business world, they think of a man wearing a suit and tie. Their days are full of boardroom meetings and presentations with hours spent signing mounds of paperwork or sitting behind a computer at their desk. What you don't see is the side of business life that is fun, spontaneous and enjoyable.

Times When You Should've Booked an LA Car Service
Los Angeles, California is the second largest city in the United States, and its airport, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), is the 6th largest airport in the world. Approximately 63 million people visit LAX each year, and 3 million people call the city of Los Angeles home. With so many people in the city of LA each year, traffic is a daily nightmare. The average traveler in Los Angeles experiences 72 hours of traffic delays each year. One way to combat these delays is by carpooling or hiring car services for your daily travels. The nightmare that is Los Angeles traffic is only worsened around LAX and the best solution to this problem is hiring a car service when traveling to and from Los Angeles International Airport. In 2014, there were a number of opportunities that a car service could have saved the day along with your sanity.

Something to Suit Every Palate in Los Angeles
In a city as culturally diverse as Los Angeles knowing where to go and what to do during your time there can be quite intimidating. There are so many amazing attractions, landmarks, restaurants, bars, and other locations to see that choosing which ones to visit can become stressful. You want to enjoy your time in The City of Angels and make the most of it without any disappointment. Everyone has their "must see" destinations within LA that are visited without a second thought. However when it comes to food, the range of options are seemingly endless. This can be a blessing and a curse. You do not want to travel to LA and dine on things you could get at home, there's just no fun in that. When visiting a city like Los Angeles, knowing where to eat is like a food vacation in and of itself. With such a wide variety of food genres, there is an option available for every palate.

Avoid High-Priced Airline Cocktails, and Make Your Own
What better way to pass a seemingly endless flight than to enjoy a delicious cocktail? We all love the idea of in-flight libations, yet many of us shudder to think of paying such outlandish prices for the drinks provided by airlines. We think you should be able to have it all: the comfort and luxury of an in-flight cocktail, without the wallet-deflating prices charges by airlines.

Downtown After Five has classy beer
The wife and I attended Downtown after Five last evening. I was very surprised to find Ommegang Hennepin Saisions on draft at the event, and it was only $4.00 for a full-size plastic cup. I expected this brew to be served in a smaller container since it is normally served in limited amounts in bars. It was priced the same as the Sierra Nevada and Sam Adams which made it a real bargain. Nice to see that DAF has some class when it comes to beer.

The share price of Sophos is surging today after upgrading its full year outlook when it posted its results.
The share price of the cyber security giant were 7.42 per cent up at 270.25p per share in early afternoon trading.
Read more: Sophos IPO - London's biggest ever tech float is coming in July, Apax Partners reveals
The company said after a strong start to the year the group has improved its outlook for 2016 financial year for like-for-like billings growth, "to now be in the range of high teens to 20 percent". The company added:
This reflects a strong performance in the first half of the year and a second half expectation of mid to high teens like-for-like billing growth.
Following a strong billings performance, first half cash earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation is now expected to be slightly higher than one third of the full-year. This is despite a more equal spread in marketing costs across the year than in previous periods.
The company has been able to bring in a significant number of customers, it said, allowing it to grow billings and raise its full year outlook.

"The first half has been marked by continued strength across all major regions and product categories, with our performance exceeding our internal expectations."

When one is playing a song on "Guitar Hero" that is so far above their skill level that they begin randomly button mashing the frets in panic.

Let's hope Paul Ryan steps up and does his job.
"It does you no good to have local grassroots action in a vacuum that never gets to the ears of your Washington reps!"
Get some sleep and then celebrate.
It's a wonderful day here on the farm because it's raining (we've had a drought!) and of course because the country class has risen up and soundly defeated the elite establishment ruling class all across America.
Ryan test! Will Speaker Paul Ryan block any effort to defund the Refugee Program in upcoming lame duck session? If he does, it may be one of the first tests of whether Ryan will work with Trump, or whether his political career is over.
Since Donald Trump, President-elect of the United States, has succeeded in maintaining the Republican majority (coattails!) in both houses of Congress, it will soon be very clear whether the Republicans will work to scrap/reform the the UN/US State Department Refugee Admissions…

Satires incoming : #JeSuisCharlie
Some time ago a friend and I talked about doing some satires together. At the time I did not think it would present any interest as there are already many things published that are better than my ideas or drawings.
And then the attack on Charlie Hebdo happened.
I often criticize the fact that most people don't care about anything unless it get close to them and that, then, they only care as long they feel part of something or as long they get something from it. I this case I might seem to have done the same thing but this attack really struck me. I've grown with Charlie Hebdo and drawings by Cabu, Charb or Wolinski and in fact I already was Charlie because I really believe that it is possible to laugh about anything. Not only that but I also think that it's needed to exorcise the power horrifing things have on us.
When we laugh about those horror we see, when we turn an ignoble situation in ridicule or when we make a fool of a vile figure, to me, it deprives them the power to inspire fear and respect, it shows how stupid, unnatural or absurde they are. And honestly imagine how happy any dictator would be to know that decades after we are still so afraid of them that we can't make jokes about them…
Anyway, all of this just to say that when I saw the catch phrase #JeSuisCharlie, how people used it and what politics tried to do with it I found it to be dishonest and petty because to me #JeSuisCharlie means being able to laugh about anything, to criticize and to say something dumb just for the sake of showing its absurdity and then let people think about it themselves. Being Charlie is not about telling what is right or wrong, it is not about having the moral high ground, it is not about telling people what to do or what to think and it is certainly not about passing laws to punish people when they think in a different way.
To be Charlie is not to be afraid to say something dumb to make people think about something even dumber. Well that my opinion anyway.
So in memory of this horror I tried to be constructive about it : I decided to draw satires sometimes when I see something I find shocking. I've already done some and you'll see them arrive shortly.

I am doing the Toubkal Winter leaving on 25th January - anyone else going ? If you want a chat etc then drop a reply :-)
Hi, I'm on this trip too. Are you on the group flight? I'm arriving slightly later, as I'm flying out of Dublin. Not long to go now - looking forward to it!
Hi, I am also on this trip, leaving on the 25th, looking forward to it, its my first winter hike
Hi both - good to hear from you and nice to know there's a few of us going.
I fly on the group trip out of Gatwick at 14.00hrs so perhaps bump into each other prior the take off! SO looking forward to it as well ? Hope you've got your hot water bottle !! Cheers, Burnsie.
Hi everyone
Im also booked onto this trip, on the group flight flying out of Gatwick. Hopefully meet some of you at the airport
This will be my 5th Exodus trip
Hi all
I'm booked on this trip on 25/1 from Gatwick. See you on the plane.
Has anyone else got their kitbags yet from Exodus?
No, not yet, but unless it's a really nice new colour I don't mind - I've got a green one and a yellow one already!
If anyone wants to meet up at the airport before the flight, we could meet up in a pub in the departure lounge
Hi, looking forward to meeting you all.
My daughter and I are both doing the trip. We are on the Gatwick flight too and so very happy to meet up at the airport; just name the place and we will do our best to locate you :-)
Hi Rachel
Good to see more booked on. Dont know my way around Gatwick airport that well but i will be in one of the bars having a few pre-holiday drinks ;)
Hi again everyone, seems there's a few of us going on this trip !
Would be good to meet prior to "all aboard and fasten your seat belts" so happy to meet in the pub at Departures, Think it's the Red Lion Wetherspoons? See you all (very) soon) ;)))
Cool will be there. We all need Exodus tshirts so we can identify each other!
Hi and see you there somehow! Has your kitbag arrived yet? Got mine but think I'll stick with my Mountain Hardware one for this trip. Going to do a prepack this week to check weights etc and that I've not forgotten anything. Look forward to meeting everyone soon. :)
Hello again! Looks like the trip's fully booked :) My kitbag just arrived this week - love the new colour, so I think I'm almost packed. I wonder if it'll be warm enough for a swim in the hotel pool? A bit optimistic maybe!?
Hopefully meet up on Sunday night in Marrakech!
Should be, think its around 20C at the moment
And yea my kitbag came last week
Just got logged in, I am on the Toubkal trip too. Looking forward to it and a bit nervous too. Happy to meet in the pub in the departure lounge. How will we recognise each other ?
Hi All,
Not long to go now!
Excited and rather apprehensive too but I am sure it will be a great adventure. The forecast look good; let's hope it stays that way and helps make it a more achievable feat for the novices amongst us (that's us!).
My daughter and I will cast our eyes around the pub in departures. I am guessing we will have walking boots and rucksacks - not quite the same as a red rose ;-)
Really looking forward to meeting everyone.
I will be arriving at the airport around 11 ish, so will be straight to the pub after checkin/security. Will be at the bar and will keep my eyes peeled.
Its always fun trying to spot fellow travellers but yes i will have my boots and rucksack on and im travelling alone
What is everyone doing about money, are you taking dirhams or exchanging money when you get there?
Don't think you can get Dirham in the UK. Im taking English money and changing over there
Bit of a long shot but im sat near the bar now enjoying a pint if anyone sees this before the flight :)
You have not posted anything in the forum yet.

People at work have been tyrannized by a team ideology based on the use of work groups as a key to effective organizational performance. The hegemony of this ideology has created an obsession with teams in workplaces governed by oppressive stereotypes of what teams should be like and how they should behave. This paper examines four elements of the prevailing team ideology — the way work in groups is defined, links between individual motivation and organizational performance, views of leadership, and the effects of power, conflict and emotion in work groups. Some alternative perspectives on team behaviour elucidate the ways in which the prevailing paradigm ultimately hinders groups and tyrannizes the individual team member — by camouflaging coercion and conflict with the appearance of consultation and cohesion. Examination of the limits and effects of the ideology provide the basis for an alternative understanding of the strengths, constraints and complexities of group work.
Teams in various forms have become ubiquitous ways of working. As task forces, committees, work groups and quality circles, they are used to provide leadership, accomplish research, maximize creativity and operationalize structural flexibility (Peters and Waterman 1982; Payne The
1988) . prescriptions of much contemporary management thinking are based on a dominant ideology of teamwork. While teams have been narrowly construed as a tool of the Organization Development Model, the ideology is much more pervasive. Teams are embraced as tools of diverse models of organizational reform from organization development (Dunphy 1976) to work restructuring (Poza and Markus 1980), from quality management to industrial democracy and from corporate culture and Japanese management approaches to complex contingency prescriptions.
Beliefs about the benefits of teams occupy a central and unquestioned place in organizational reform. It is all the more surprising that, despite some differences in context, the team ideology has been espoused with such consistency. The hegemony of this ideology has been supported by researchers who offer the 'team' as a tantalizingly simple solution to some of the intracDownloaded from http://oss.sagepub.com at Massey University Library on June 28, 2010
problems of organizational life. Teams appear to satisfy everything individual needs (for sociability, self-actualization, participative management), organizational needs (for productivity, organizational development, effectiveness) and even society's needs for alleviating the malaise of alienation and other by-products of modern industrial society (Johnson and Johnson 1987). However, do work groups deserve the status they have acquired as multipurpose panaceas for organizational problems? As has been powerfully argued in organizational analysis (Burrell and Morgan 1979; Astley and Van de Ven 1983; Reed 1985; Alvesson 1987), the dominance of a particular paradigm has substantial costs in the...

Definitions of Teams and Group Work
theorists have defined a 'team' as a distinctive class of which is more task-oriented than other groups, and which has a set group, of obvious rules and rewards for its members (Adair 1986)

(Bales 1970). By their emphasis on the measurable performance outcomes of teams such as decision-making, researchers have constructed standards for teams which tell only half the story, and perhaps tell the wrong half.

Vitamin Refrigeration
The only vitamins and supplements that should be stored in the refrigerator are essential fatty acids and those that contain food starch or biological matter such as intestinal flora. Keeping these supplements refrigerated extends their shelf life and ensures that the perishable compounds they contain will not spoil or break down.
However, you should store these and only these types of vitamins and supplements in the fridge; all others should be kept in a cool, dry, dark place. Your bathroom medicine cabinet is not a good place to store vitamins, as the humidity generated by baths and showers can cause them to lose their potency.
Your best bet is to keep them in a drawer in a bedside night table or in a kitchen cupboard. This will keep them dry and at room temperature. If you store regular vitamins in the refrigerator, you will introduce warm air to the cold bottle every time you open it. This will cause condensation inside the vitamin bottle, which increases the humidity and, in turn, causes the compounds in the pill to break down or dissolve.

Health claims for eating fish causing harm -- study

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - Claims about the human health benefits of eating more fish may be causing more environmental and social harm than good, according to a Canadian study published on Tuesday.
The health claims appear to be overblown, and many of the studies making them ignore the pressure increased consumption puts on the dwindling global fish stocks, according to the article in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
"Governments and industry tell consumers to eat more fish because it is healthy... but where do we get these fish?" asked Rashid Sumaila, of the University of British Columbia's Fisheries Economics Research Unit.
With the collapse of many fish stocks near the United States, Europe and Japan, the pressure is now on developing countries to allow increased foreign access to their shores or to export the catch of local fishermen.
"In either case, the local markets of developing countries, where basic nutrition and health are challenges, are deprived of an important source of protein for the sake of the developed world, whose major problems are overnutrition and physical inactivity," the researchers wrote.
The report was prepared jointly by ocean and medical researchers, and coauthor by prominent Canadian writer and environmentalist Farley Mowat.
The researchers said while there are studies that indicate a benefit of consuming omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oils, there are also studies that indicate the benefits are minimal and fish eaters already tend to lead healthier lifestyles.
"In contrast to the uncertainty over the value of omega-3 in fish oils in the scientific literature, there is little doubt about the gravity of the fisheries crisis and the prospect of ongoing collapses of the fish stocks," the researcher wrote.
The article said there are also alternatives in the ocean to fish oils for omega-3 fatty acids, such as algae and plants, but warns more clinical study is needed before advocating their widespread use.
The researchers also discount expanding aquaculture because for some fish species, such as salmon, their high protein feed requires requires between 2.5 and 5 kilograms of fish for every kilogram the farm eventually produces.

Great article.
It sounds alarming especially for the developing countries. End result would be fish scarcity.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Government issues ended mixed as they processed a barrage of economic news Friday.
The 10-year Treasury note was up 6/32 at 101-26 to yield TNX, -1.12% 4.765 percent while the 30-year government bond edged up 1/32 at 101-17 to yield TYX, -1.12% 5.27 percent.
In the front end, the 2-year note shed 1/32 to yield 4.24 percent while the 5-year Treasury note was flat to yield 4.49 percent.
The market got a dose of tame inflation news but initial gains were quick to evaporate.
The February producer price index edged up 0.1 percent, as expected, but it shed an unexpected 0.3 percent excluding the volatile food and energy components.
Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, noted that the core PPI saw its biggest monthly drop since August 1993 and was depressed by a 1.5 percent fall in car prices.
"In short, the PPI remains benign -- the January increase was fluky -- and no impediment to Fed easing," Shepherdson concluded.
In other economic news, it was reported that housing starts shed 0.4 percent to a 1.647 million rate while building permits fell 3.1 percent to a 1.67 million rate. Read story.
And industrial production fell 0.6 percent in February while capacity utilization came in at 79.4 percent. See full story.
Finally, the closely-watched Michigan consumer sentiment index rose to 91.8 in March from 90.6 in February. View Economic Preview and economic calendar and forecasts.
Another sharp drop in equity prices Friday also gave investors a reason to warm up to bond prices. The Dow Jones Industrials Average DJIA, +0.35% gave up 207 points, or 2.1 percent, to 9,823 while the Nasdaq Composite $COMPQ erased 49 points, or 2.6 percent, to 1,890. See Market Snapshot.
In the currency arena, dollar/yen added 0.3 percent to 122.80 while euro/dollar edged down 0.3 percent to 0.8936.

18-year-old Harriet Vickers, from Spalding, is the first beneficiary of the bursary, which will provide her with £1000 a year as support for her engineering degree course at Durham University. She'll also have access to practical support, with mentoring from senior Jaguar Land Rover engineers and WISE (Women in Science and Engineering) representatives.
An all-female judging panel, comprising representatives from Jaguar Land Rover, WISE and the Women's Engineering Society, drew up a shortlist from a great number of applications from eager post-GCSE and A-level students. Five candidates then went forward for an interview at JLR's Design and Engineering Centre.
Nicci Cook, Jaguar Land Rover Senior HR Manager Product Development and a member of the judging panel, said: 'The applicants we met were not only talented, they were also extremely passionate – two qualities which Harriet certainly has. I am confident that not only will she go on to have a highly successful career, she will also be a great ambassador, encouraging other young women to embark on a similar career path.'
Harriet will receive her scholarship at the 2013 WISE Awards in London on November 14, where more than 300 people will join Princess Anne, the organisation's royal patron, to celebrate the achievement of girls and women in the STEM disciplines – science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
