One of the most unexplored lands in the Asian continent amongst a few others, happen to be Sri Lanka. Abound with a great geo-cultural presence, and home to some of the finest elephants, the island country deserves more tourist attention. From delicious local cuisines to the natural beauty of the places in the country, a travelling in Sri Lanka can be an everlasting experience. While traveling is most times fun, you might always feel clueless unless you figure how things function in a different country. This piece will help you have all the Lanka travel tips and plan a trip keeping everything in mind.
1. Don't burn your atm cards away! SAVE THE BUCKS
Travel comes with a lot of money and one must try not to break the bank. This is possible, especially in a country like Sri Lanka. You can balance your tour out by cutting your costs because of the availability of options in cheaper hotels, food, and areas of the visit. First of all, balancing out is good. Save up enough to spend out at a great beach or a fancy restaurant that has a great variety of local cuisines to offer. Avoid the regular western restaurants while travelling in Sri Lanka, those are everywhere and aren't the best that you might find in the country. Take trains rather than buses; it comes cheaper and gives out the best view of the exceptionally green country. If you are travelling towards Ella, Nuwara Eliya or Trincomalee, look out for home shelters which barely charge you anything. An average train fare is around 300 SLR, a water bottle will cost you some 60 SLR and a meal some 400 SLR. It is mostly budget friendly and does encourage a lot of money saving for the stunning variety of places it has, where one might make better use of the money saved.
One of the best Lanka travel tips is that you shouldn't shop too much. Clothes aren't the best things that you might find out there. But if you want beautiful attires from the local places, then keeping some money is always nice. Mementos are very costly, both in the airport and otherwise. Avoid buying them, unless you badly want something. Don't spend too much on tuk-tuks. Walk out smaller distances. This will help you save the maximum amount of money. Make sure that you go on auto rides by the meter, and not with a stated price on a bargain.
2.Food- Choose great food. Great Food makes every trip better
Quite synonymous to South Indian cuisines, Sri Lankan food is an absolute delight to have. It comes with minor differences in spice levels, mostly being on the higher end of it but is a relish any day. Rice and curry meal combos, dal, sambal prepared with dry red chilies, coconut, curry leaves, and a few herbs are the regular things to enjoy. Then there is the Sri Lankan roti which is very similar to how Indian bread are. Think about a Malabari Parantha or a Tawa roti and you have the perfect imagination of how it could taste and look.
This roti makes for a delicious meal called Kotttu which is the most affordable meal for backpackers and travel ventures. It can be packed easily and it is quite delicious and can be eaten as any kind of meal. Again there are egg samosas, patties, pastries and great confectionary stuff that you can have and pack for your journeys. The chicken is quite spicy, so do have a meal in it if you are a spice enthusiast, and so are the curries. Else, more continental leaning food wherein you find something in the Sri Lankan bucket is certainly available for you. Prices of these food items can shot between 100 SLR to 500 SLR, depending on where you are eating. Beach towns with a lot of crowds are expensive places to eat because of the ambiance and setting that comes with the food, whereas smaller towns in hill stations are relatively cheaper. So, Trincomalee would be definitely cheaper than let's say, Galle or Colombo.
3. Alcohol-The best Sri Lanka travel tips can't be complete without exposing you to the local brew
Local brew in Sri Lanka is slightly expensive. If you like rum, Arrack is what is enjoyed there. It is prepared with coconut flowers and has an amazing smell. The best part is that it comes in multiple varieties, so you can pick whatever flavor you want. Beer is widely found and Lion Lager is available and prices are pretty decent. It's also the only beer available at the cricket but luckily it's heaps better than VB. And more importantly, it will cost very minimal.
If you want to buy alcohol from bars, it must override your budget. Expect to pay about 460 SLR for a half a pint of the local lion lager/Carlsberg at the top end hotels. Imported beers will start around 595 SLR plus taxes. But that's as expensive as it gets since ordinary pubs and restaurants will only be cheaper.
Great places to get alcohol from are Manchester, Carlsberg and Playtrix. Manchester is not a top end pub. And definitely not a place for a quality drink. Cricket Club is good for a post-game talk. Playtrix has (rather did have) an extensive Belgian beer menu. They have scaled down now but still serves it cold. Most sports and private clubs serve cold beer. The lite beer at SCG costs 9$ a cup and is barely cold.
4.Accommodation- Where to halt, where to go?
Accommodation in Sri Lanka is never a problem, mainly because it is a country where there is not a massive population present currently. Hotels and hostels are available and can be given out for temporary occupancies. Most hill stations have got quaint little houses that rent out (for a longer period of stay) a part of the houses for travelers to halt and enjoy the country. These are not priced hugely but at a nominal rate of 500-600 SLR. Then there are guest houses which are much like tiny hotels wherein they have great facilities around food, good connectivity with cab services and security.
People are genuinely nice and always extending to help, sometimes to levels that get you suspicious. Hostels are available too, depending on the vacancies and charge modestly. However, you must take care to not expect more than a bed, an electric shower, and a mosquito net. In the lush green and clean environment of Sri Lanka, replete with freshness, a cozy room in a completely peaceful setting is a pure delight. The best part is that there are varieties of shelter houses that you can choose from, sometimes you also live with families and dine and share your living spaces. Exploration from a close angle becomes very easy in the comfort of a situation like this.
Lanka travel tips wouldn't be complete till you receive a perspective on food. Food is always available in dhabas and restaurants nearby. You might just have to walk out of your rooms and help yourself with whatever you want to eat. The cities are mostly safe, though it is always recommended that you don't go out alone after 9. That is also because most eating places close down at 9 and you would love to not miss out on any awesome food that is out there waiting for you. Some bars close late but those are the expensive ones. Colombo has some of the best pubs.
5. Travel internally- Know your routes
A great route to follow for touring the country is to map the country out into north and south zones so that you can cover the entire stretch when you visit either parts of the island country.
The north itinerary could be best traveled, keeping costs of travel most planned, in the following manner- Colombo – Jaffna – Anuradhapura – Sigiriya – Kandy – Ella – Nuwara Eliya – Colombo
Colombo is the administrative capital. It is replete with a lot of administrative buildings, the star city in the country and has great beaches. Jaffna is a city of ruins, historically vocal and is situated on the northern tip of the island. Anuradhapura has amazing temples and a great religious spirit revolves around the place. It is highly auspicious, and people follow very definite rules while big religious festivals are on. It has the oldest remains of Buddhism in Sri lanka. Sigiriya is a place of natural wonder. This place has a monolithic rock called the lion king. It is the eighth wonder of the world. It is huge, rises up in a staircase and looks like a massive lion seated in the woods when seen from the Adam's peak. One of the most recommended views of the island is this place itself. Trek, id possible to the peak of the Adam's peak and don't forget to sit down and grasp what breathtaking the view of the rock is.
Trekks usually take 4-5 hours depending on how fast or slow you climb. But, once you reach up to the peak, there is no desire to come down anytime soon. Locals are very helpful. They willfully guide you to the top for a little money and sometimes, without it. Kandy, Ella, Nuwara Eliya are perhaps the most beautiful hill stations. These come with a sense of old colonial towns in massive stretches of green. It gets extremely cold here, temperatures dropping to almost 0 degrees, so make sure that you pack adequate clothes and warm food while venturing out on these trails. There are a variety of things to do here from rock climbing to horse riding, ziplining, jet skiing, etc. These places come with beautiful accommodation in the form of hostels and hotels and everything can be found in decent amount of money that you might keep for traveling in the country. The hill stations would be a treat to watch if you can devote more than 3 days for it. The rest do not take more time, just a couple of hours and you can wrap up.
A southern itinerary can be planned in this way-
Colombo – Hikkaduwa – Galle – Mirissa – Tangalle – Tissa – Nuwara Eliya – Kandy – Colombo Colombo – Hikkaduwa – Galle – Mirissa – Tangalle – Tissa – Nuwara Eliya – Kandy – Colombo
If you have a month, you could do both of these routes plus add in one or all of the coastal towns of Arugam Bay, Negombo, or Trincomalee. One thing to know is that once you've done the major things in a city, there's very little reason to stay. For example, Tissa is the gateway to Yala National Park. Tour operators run most tours in the early morning (a higher chance of seeing animals) so if you took one of those tours, you could be on a bus moving on to your next destination by lunchtime. There's really not much else in the town. Galle is more a day trip from a nearby beach town than a place to spend a few days. Trincomalee is perhaps the most recommended place for tourists. This incredibly stunning beach is in itself an experience. Stones and water and stretches of green make for the most perfect experience on a summer day. Snorkeling is allowed for most parts of the day and there are trainers who are present all the time to help you get an experience of underwaters.
The great Sri Lankan travel comes with more surprises than what is usually expected,partly because not a lot of people know how much the place has to offer in terms of natural aesthetics and beauty. The great Sri Lankan travel tip therefore is to not try to figure too much into everything but take a train and hit away.
6. Temples- Touching the auspicious air
History of Sri Lanka is a source of great pride to both Sinhalese and Tamils therefore many amazing historical temples are found in Sri Lanka. All over the world, they are famous and many visitors are interested in watching these marvelous structures, paintings, statues, etc in their own ways. There are set rules for entering a temple. Sinhalese are people very particular about religious affairs and as tourists, you must take care to not offend their religious sentiments.
The idea of entering a space that is so pious brings a lot of responsibility and this can be done by showing reverence in manners which they approve of, partly because we aren't exactly aware of why they do a tradition a certain way. Shoes and socks must be removed before entering temples and bags must be submitted to the bag counters. Anuradhapura witnesses a great number of people who flock for religious ceremonies. It looks like a religious fest and Sinhalese are proud of it. Being cordial in the inner spaces of the temple, talking with sincerity and feeling like one of them are ways to getting fused in the energy of the crowd. Some of the most beautiful temples that you can always visit are the Munnessaram temple, the Muthiyagana temple and Kandy's Temple of the Tooth.
Thousands of years of Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim and Christian heritage can be found in temples great and small that dot this small and devoutly spiritual island. The big daddy of all Sri Lankan temples is Kandy's Temple of the Tooth, said to contain a tooth belonging to none other than the Buddha himself, but even the smallest of village temples can offer up beautiful artistic beauty carved by artisans centuries ago – as well as a fascinating insight into Sri Lankan religious culture. Some of the larger temples play host to important festivals and timing your visit to coincide with one is likely to be a highlight of a Sri Lankan journey.
7.Places to visit- Trees, lands and cultures
Sri Lanka's growth of tourism of Sri Lanka has no sign to stop sooner or later. The Ceylon Tourist board promotes as much of tourism as it can as it ideally should, considering the richness of the country. Every place has got a great cultural call, it has one thing or the other to offer. Bentota, Galle, Trincomalee, Colombo has great beaches, each differing in the look and feel. Then there are others like Negombo, Ambalangoda, Hikkaduwa, Unawatuna, Mirissa, Dickwella, Polhena, Nilaveli, Batticaloa, Arugambay, Kalkudah, and Pasekudah.
Then there is Anuradhapura, Kandy, Dambulla, the enriched colonial architecture, the eight kingdoms of ancient age, several sites declared as heritage sites by UNESCO and the ancient rock fortress at Sigiriya. The historical places will leave you spellbound for the kind of agility that still lives on, in the stature of these.
Sri Lanka is also known for the exotic beaches and the golden sun shining all around the year. This island in the In Indian Ocean watch the golden sunrise and sunsets, surf on the waves, do diving among the splendid coral reefs and spend the best times on the idyllic beach relaxing
Sri Lanka boasts of some great National Parks such as Yala National Park, Bundala National Park, Wilpattu National Park, Minneriya National Park, Udawalawe National Park and Horton Planes. Visit them and go for jungle safari to have an adventurous experience of witnessing the wildlife of the country. Not only limited to these Sri Lanka has many more places to visit. It has something to offer to every kind of tourist- nature lover, kids, adventurous or any other kind.
SriLanka as a country is a packed island, that can be toured fully covering the entire stretch, north-south and east-west in a period of a month. If you are willing to take a holiday where you feel like you want to go to the best places because of the paucity of time, then Galle, Ella, Nuwara Eliya, Colombo, Trincomalee, Anuradhapura, Sigiriya are the best places to go.
Galle is one of the places you must definitely visit. Galle is the main city with not much charm and not much to do. Galle Fort is the small enclave surrounded by a fort. It's super charming with lots of restaurants and coffee shops (and shopping). It even has a small beach. The whole area is wonderful to hang out a couple of days in to catch up on some R&R. Also, if Sigiriya isn't in your budget, go to Pidurangala Rock instead. It's not too far from Sigiriya and it costs about $1 to get in. If you love a climbing challenge (with 5000 steps), head to Adam's Peak. It is perhaps one of the best treks to climb. The deep caves twirled with historical remains would make you take massive breathless steps along with tiny ones. But, all efforts bear fruit till you hit the top which gives you the most wonderful view ever.
These tourist places are spread across a wide area, so you at least need to travel 3.5 hours on the train to make a transit from one place. Preferably, base yourself in Colombo and map out which way you might want to head.
8.Tap water- Buy the bottles away
Local people do usually drink the tap water, but it is suggestive that your body microorganisms might have a hard time suiting to that. Buying bottles of water is always a good way to avoid that. It costs a little more than what a bottle of water costs in most other Asian countries but there are a plenty of options in that. For something as basic and important as water, we suggest you to spend a few bucks and cost cut a little in your shopping. Water is generally clean and can be used in case of situations where bottled water is unavailable (which is never mostly so). A very common travel tip for Sri Lanka is that there might be hardness in the water, so you have to adjust to the tap water, it always takes a while till you adapt to the same.
9.ATMs and Banks- Always carry the extra cash
ATMs and banks are never a problem. They are present in decent distances. Only your card needs to have an international transaction facility and you are good to go. Most people prefer using Bank of Ceylon. Banks close at 3pm, so you will need to visit them before they shut down.
10. Plug Points and electrical sockets in Sri Lanka- Did we hear gadgets?
Plug sockets of two kinds – one with round holes (type D / M) and the other with rectangular prongs, which can easily fit UK plugs (type G socket) are available in Sri Lanka. An universal adapter is usually not required there. Indian as well as European plugs (both plug type C) work in Sri Lanka without a problem. But certainly , the best thing always, is obviously carrying a good quality universal adapter so that you don't end up harming your gadgets.
11. And the question everyone wants an answer to- Is Sri Lanka safe for solo women travellers?
Sri Lanka, for the most records has been a safer country for women. You will find numerous lady travelers traveling solo in full safety. Usually, it is suggested that you always keep yourself alert of any danger that might tend to come your way when you are traveling, but people out there are mostly nice, and take care not to offend you. They are speculative but do not take further steps to cause anyone trouble. However, with the increasing incidents of morality violations that we hear all over the world, it is always good that one dresses modestly and sensibly enough to not send out any wrong signal. This is because Sri Lanka as a country is quite traditional in beliefs and that is why one must behave the way it is expected of you, be it in the manner you talk or dress or present yourself. People who like to wear clothes which aren't modest must opt for a temporary change once you land in the country. It is always nice to buy a few traditional skirts which women around that place prefer wearing, both at work and for casual day outs. Always keep a torch if you are traveling alone at night. There will be times when locals would want to know you and you don't know who to trust. There is no formula for being prone to a bad situation. You can only hope that you aren't close to any and therefore, do most things in your hands to prevent any unforeseen circumstance.
Tuk-tuk drivers are usually polite, and understand bits of English. There are locals who are very forward to help and can always guide you if you feel stuck on the road. Always talk to hotel managers if you receive trouble communicating with the subordinate staff. Likewise, always have a point of reference(someone like a known person who you can speak with) because that helps in breaking down a good number of things that you might keep interpreting while trying to communicate with anyone, on the road, on the train or at the hotel.
Appear confident,easy and alert,while you are interacting with you. Appear like someone who can take charge of things if they come for you. Do not give away too much personal information but keep social exchanges very limited, unless you have known that person for a considerably longer time. Local men try to befriend tourists and that is the case in most places, but as a rule of thumb, be careful even if you want to engage with them. At times, they are incredibly nice people but never make yourself uneasy and hook on a conversation if that does not suit your state.
You are 95% safe even as a female traveller. But you have to be careful with a few things. Mostly Tuk tuks in Colombo(They will tell you higher prices always you have to bargain the price). There is zero violence against tourists but to be honest most of the time you get cheated.
Why must you visit Sri Lanka ASAP?
Travelling in Sri Lanka is a beautiful experience. It has the best of green, people and ambience. With the travel tips that we have put out for you, there barely remains anything that you now don't know about this culturally rich place. It is magnificent in the location and that remains a known fact.
The originality, hospitality and the generosity of people, as well as the diversity of weather and the eco system, would be the highlight of Sri Lanka. It is such a small country with a vast variety of weather. One can go from a single place to another in around 3 hours and everything changes. The trees, the animals, the temperature the people the surroundings etc. on the coast in Colombo it is around 30 degrees Celsius average and up in the hills in Nuwara Eliya it drops to around 10 – 15 degrees Celsius.
There are stylistic variations in the setting of different places. There are midsized European architecture inspired towns like Kandy, there are extremely beautiful beaches, there is a lasting impression of a smooth population, not very ambitious in their outlook and hence very peaceful in their own ways of living. Sri Lanka, for the most parts would be best described as a country which feels very self-sufficient and content in their ways of carrying their daily lives out. Barred of much interference, a tourist can just pack their bags and venture out and obstacles from local populace are never to be seen. They are an extremely generous bunch, always helpful and sweet. They have a lot of affinity for Indians, because of the geographical proximity and a general commonality in terms of culture that south India and the island country shares.
A Sri Lanka travel experience comes with a minimum cost, overall. Sri Lanka travels also help to explore multiple facets of geography because of the wide diversifications in terms of natural fauna and flora. It has a great scheme of things to offer,from beach experiences to marvelous resorts to absolutely delicious cuisines. It has, more than anything, a really great people.
Set your calendars, make your plans and hit it off. Lanka is waiting for you.

If you guys who have had success spot and stalking black bears, what's the one tip you'd wish you knew earlier? Besides wind... LOL
From: Buskill
If cruising the shore and you see a bear , even far away , don't turn your boat motor on or off. On seems like a no brainer but turning your engine off is about as bad .

My son has been chasing them up in Juneau for the last two years. Said he wasn't able to do any good this year till he wore his mountain trash hat.

I have heard of guys closing the deal on spring bears by chasing them up trees. Personally I'd make sure they were running away.
From: badguybuster
While not in Alaska....i spot and stalk here in WV. My best advice is to take your time and pay attention. When i first started out i jumped a lot of bear and missed out on some real dandys
From: spike buck
Bears in Blueberries are more worried about filling their stomachs than hunters...unless they get shot at.
I like to know the layout of the clear cut, rock ridges and where they go and hunt when berries are at their prime. Rock ridges helps you close the deal quick. Usually quiet on the high ridges.

Sous-titres. An+Ethical+Framework+for+Marketing+and+Monetizing+Digital+Content+Media. Animal Jam: 'Monetizing An App For Kids Is Easy – Doing It Ethically Is What's Hard' Monetizing an app is never child's play, but it becomes even more difficult if the app in question is aimed at children.
Clark Stacey, CEO of game publisher WildWorks, knows about those challenges firsthand. Wildworks, which recently rebranded from Smart Bomb Interactive, has been working in close collaboration with the National Geographic Society since 2010 on Animal Jam, a wildly popular multiplayer web-based virtual world for kids with more than 20 million players around the world. Players spend roughly 75 minutes with the game per session. The target demo for Animal Jam – which takes place in a fictional interactive universe called Jamaa, where kids can become avatars of their favorite animals while they learn about nature, science and ecology – is largely girls, ages 7 to 9. That's not an age group that generally has ready access to a credit card, as they shouldn't, which is why Animal Jam has to get creative. "We're not looking to push this quickly up the charts," Stacey said.
Youtube. Marketing, monetization and makers among top kid themes at GDC 2014. While sessions on gaming for older kids and adults tended to significantly outnumber those focused on youngsters at last week's Game Developers Conference, discussions at the event surrounding the interplay of physical objects with digital content, education-based games, virtual reality experiences and the maker movement highlighted the growing importance of the gaming sector for today's kids.
Just ask those who were there. For Mindy Brooks, director of education and research at Sesame Workshop, this year's GDC provided an opportunity to look for new user methodologies and interesting, innovative game design across all kid demographics. "I also looked for insights on analytics and educational outputs," says Brooks.
"One of the major takeaways for Sesame Workshop is that games have the ability to truly impact kids, but you really have to be thoughtful about design and strategy." Brooks concurs. "How do we balance commercial venture and educational gain? PanelPicker. Voting period for this idea type has passed Last year Apple Computer agreed to refund $2,500 charged by a 5-year-old boy to his parents credit through "In-App" purchases.
At the same time, the majority of on-line games for children now employ a 'Freemium" model, where young users are made continuously aware that full use requires a subscription. Free-to-play in childrens' games is bad business. On Wednesday, January 15th, Apple announced it would refund at least $32.5MM to users whose accounts had made in-app purchases in childrens' games as part of a settlement with the US Federal Trade Commission.
Although $32.5MM represents only one day's worth of App Store profits, this settlement will clearly alter the way Apple allows games to monetize through children. But it also underscores a more fundamental issue: that building childrens' games with the freemium model is a terrible business strategy. Apple's settlement with the FTC expanded a refund plan it had already formulated and partially initiated, described by Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, in an internal memo: Monetizing Kid's Apps.

A number of major studios have been asking me questions related to this under NDA, but I think this conversation needs to also be public.

Maritimo's impressive all-new X60 sports motor yacht has been received with widespread praise. Since its release at the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show in 2018, multiple orders have been placed and owners began taking delivery soon after. This maginificent example was the highly specified "brochure boat", as such it is still to this date the highest specced model on the water.
Maritimo will never submit to the status quo. As innovators, we challenge conventional wisdom to materialise new ideas. We see every detail as an opportunity for excellence, and we take no short cuts in our quest to create the extraordinary. A symphonic blend of functionality dressed in powerful form, the X Series is here to reimagine the traditional idea of the conventional sport yacht concept. The result is nothing less than extraordinary.
Maritimo fuses its performance pedigree, bespoke materials and innovative design to create unparalleled boating luxury. With its innovative aft beach club, the X60 is a world first in its class. The Maritimo X60 revolutionises entertaining on water with a game-changing new 'beach club' design. The cabana flows effortlessly into all areas of the boat, creating constant connections between guests and the sea. Enjoy three-sided panoramic ocean views and the ability to transform the swim platform into an entertaining balcony deck at the touch of a button.
The wine fridge, ice maker, sink and TV transform the beach club into a true entertainer's paradise. Alternatively, use the beach club galley as a chef's scullery when entertaining upstairs on the main deck. With two access points via the internal stairs or lower deck, guests will be uninterrupted when your host is plating up delicious meals and serving your favourite cocktails. The main galley is a sight to behold, with flowing space, beautiful finishes and european appliances rivalling some luxury penthouses, the X60 is the dream boat for entertainers.
The helm position of the X60 impresses even the most staunchly opposed flybridge cruiser skippers. Everyone who steps aboard marvels at the sweeping glass windows and incredible aspect looking down over the bow. Several flybridge M series owners have now been swayed to X series ownership due to this design feature, when normally they would not have considered a sports cruiser style vessel. The added option of 2 EJS Joystick controls with hydraulic thrusters mean docking the 60 foot vessel is a breeze. The upgraded Scania 925HP engines provide incredible performance and lift the vessel up to a sprint speed of 34 knots.
The full beam master suite is a sight to behold. With a huge en suite, clever panoramic windows, beautiful soft furnishings and plenty of storage space, it will honestly make you want to go to bed early, and then sleep-in late!

{John 14:9} Jesus answered, "For a long time I have been with you all; yet you do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. Why, then, do you say, 'Show us the Father'?
Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.
Who is the Father? The Creator, Adonai, Elshaddai, the Spirit, King of Kings, Lord of Lords. There are many definitions to the Father. But I am loving this particular one…."whoever has seen me has seen the Father."
The Father is God. The Father sent His son Jesus Christ on earth that we could meet Him – He allowed us to meet Him through Jesus Christ! How awesome!😀😀 How wonderful!
It's so sad that this beautiful answer is always missed – That the Father is the Son – they are one!
Let's look at Jesus while on earth to give us a few answers about the Father.
1). He is Compassionate
{Matthew 14:15-16}
As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a remote place, and it's already getting late. Send the crowds away , so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food." Jesus replied, " They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."
2). He is full of mercy
{John 8:1-11}
4 "Teacher," they said to Jesus, "this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?"
9 When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, "Where are your accusers? Didn't even one of them condemn you?"
"No, Lord," she said. And Jesus said, "Neither do I. Go and sin no more."
3). He has power over sin and He forgives sin and sets us free from it. 😀
{Luke 5:20-21}
When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven." The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, "Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
4). He is a friend
{John 11:1-44}
A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany with his sisters, Mary and Martha.
This is the Mary who later poured the expensive perfume on the Lord's feet and wiped them with her hair.[a] Her brother, Lazarus, was sick. So the two sisters sent a message to Jesus telling him, "Lord, your dear friend is very sick."
5) He has power over demons
{Mark 5:6-8;18-20}
When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. He shouted at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name don't torture me!" For Jesus had said to him, "Come out of this man, you impure spirit!……..18 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon possessed begged to go with him. Jesus did not let him, but said, "Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you." So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis[b] how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.
6). He is very understanding hence he doesn't judge as man does.
He knows our pain, our anguish, our tears, our struggles and guess what he understands it's all! Our past – he knows. Our mistakes – he sees, knows and he still chooses to love and lead us towards the path of righteousness and restoration if we corporate with him like Zaccheaus the tax collector did.
{Luke 19:5-10}
When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today." So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
All the people saw this and began to mutter, "He has gone to be the guest of a sinner."
Who is God the Father? The answer lies in who is Jesus Christ. Have you met Jesus? If so, the you have met the Father.
Christ thy kingdom come…

Over the past decade health care in Canada has shifted from a cure-care model to a business model. Disguised behind talk of community, care closer to home, consumer choice, patient rights, cost-containment and improved efficiencies, the business model has ushered in "bottom line" financial management which has brought us steadily deteriorating health care services. Framed within a clear analysis of this new health care model, the articles in this collection illustrate how diverse groups in various social and institutional contexts are navigating through a changing health care system-a system upon which women in particular rely for their wellbeing as caregivers and care recipients; a system that operates more and more on the logic of scientific management.
"This book is an excellent tonic for those who feel seduced by the language of health care 'reform' and forced to choose between the alternatives."
— Pat Armstrong

Chris vomited a universe of stars onto the pavement. They swirled around him as he contemplated the cause of their existence. The stars were similar to the stars he had eaten as a child—the ones that came from Campbell soup cans his mom had given him. The stars were probably leftovers from earlier years, he thought: a present perhaps from his younger self, even though they reeked of vodka.
His friend patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Are you all right?"
He couldn't answer for a moment. His eyes were still transfixed on the stars, surrounded by chunks of bread, and the smell. They were majestic, he thought. He tried standing up but collapsed onto the sidewalk.
"Chris…" he heard his friend say. But his head was still swimming in the noises of the street. He heard others approaching, laughing. He felt alienated from the people and their world.
"Oh Chris, are you okay?" He felt arms wrap around him and indigestion rise again, he wondered briefly what his mouth would emit–if it still held the stars of cheap canned soup and his youth, or perhaps the sounds of his brothers playing in the yard. Beth hugged him, squeezed him until he spat out yet another of the universes in his mouth. This time, however, no stars went forth; all that was left was the thin slime of a night's confusion.
"I'm sorry baby…I didn't mean…"
"Goddamn it, Beth. Can't you see Chris is sick?"
"I'm sorry Chris…I'm sorry…."
Chris looked beyond the slime and tried to find the stars. The slime was thick with nebulas clouds that blocked out the night sky and the universes beyond. Chris became desperate to find those stars. They were important, he told himself over and over again, although he couldn't remember why.
His friends led him back into the hotel. Chris was too weak and dizzy to put up a fight. They were still drinking and laughing. They put him in a stool at the bar. All he could think about was getting back to the pavement and looking for soupy, vodka-ridden stars, whose presence might prove the existence of a God.
Beth was crying, and Chris was reminded of the times when he and his mother had talked about things during lunch: you shouldn't play with those boys, they're trouble; when you grow up you're going to marry a nice girl Chris; finish your dinner and then you can go outside.
Somewhere Chris thought he heard an orchestra playing, but it was only a single pianist. The rest he remembered from a concert he had attended when he was in high school. He had gone with his first girlfriend, who played the flute. The pianist reminded him of her.
He looked at the pianist for a long time while Beth was crying and tried to figure out why the man had such a heavenly face. He decided he must be on a threshold, closer to death than life. The pianist played a symphony with his hands and looked Chris's way.
"What are you looking at Chris?" a distant voice asked, over the crying Beth.
"He's staring at the pianist," another voice said.
The person's voice reeked of that otherworldly smell, which could not reach the pianist, who smiled at Chris and nodded.
He and the pianist conversed on a landscape of soupy stars.
"Don't lose heart kid. Some people are born kings. They eat their stars with a silver spoon, while others chase them down with vodka."
"Play me a song, pianist."
The pianist played a song Chris had never heard before. In the background, Beth's crying had turned to a whimper, and her voice took him away from the pianist, whose hands created a symphony of universes, which Chris vomited again and again in his mind.


text: Millbrook Beds is a great place to start your search for a new mattress. Though, it may seem easy enough. Most of us go too long before deciding to replace our mattresses. The reasons for hanging on to an old mattress may vary. However, people often overlook the signs of needing a new mattress. Aches, pains, and soreness can be a good indicator that you need a new mattress. Often people go to bed feeling fine and wake up with aches and pains in their back, neck, and shoulders. These pains seem to ease off as the day goes on, are usually the result of improper sleeping positions, due to well worn mattresses. The inability to sleep can be caused by a number of different factors. However, if you can not sleep because you are unable to get comfortable or find a comfortable position, then you need a new mattress. A mattress should mold to your body, while providing support to your head, back, and body. The idea is for your body to maintain a natural position, while you are sleep, decreasing any unnecessary stress to your body. An old mattress may have dips that prevent your body from receiving the necessary support. In tough financial times, people often try to stretch their household goods and hold on to them. Yet, the inability to sleep may soon start to affect your health and your work. You may even find that holding on to an old mattress is costing you more than buying a new one. www.mattressnextday.co.uk

This has obvious benefits, but can be counter productive. An article in the September issue of the HBR highlights an example, where this has gone spectacularly wrong. Wells Fargo was an extreme example of where using metrics to drive sales induced staff to setup deposit and credit card accounts without the client consent.There were significant fines, reimbursement of fees and the consequent loss of reputation.

Happiness is holding your mobile phone.
We are digital people living in a mobile world. And video has increasingly become our preferred way to consume content. Additionally, we really like our mobile phones.
Put these two together and you get Video Mobile Marketing. People are 1.4 times more likely to watch and share an ad on mobile. Plus, over 50% of Youtube viewership is done on mobile phones.
If that doesn't convince you then we're not sure what will. For the believers, read on as we learn where to make videos and what to make your video about.
Where To Make Videos For A Mobile World
Mobile videos are easier than ever to create. The rise in watching videos on mobile can really be reflected in the attitude of millennials. They treat their mobile screen as their first viewing screen, above and beyond a desktop or television.
How do you keep up with the demand? Thankfully, the user demand for videos has been equally matched. Here are just a few tools to start quickly and easily making videos.
The team here at Swomi has worked with these applications and can (gasp) even be fun! Far from a comprehensive list, these just happen to be top picks of what we have tried here at HQ.
Originally called Animaker, Vyond is a platform for creating animated videos. Animation works especially well for illustrating abstract or difficult concepts in a simple way. Vyond has by far the most extensive animation sets we've seen.
Another video maker for making animations, GoAnimate is straightforward to use. Achieve very fast results from their pre-made templates and their relatively fast loading. Another plus is it is web browser based so you don't need to risk downloading anything to your PC.
A huge favorite of the Team, Lumen5 uses sleek design, a simple interface, and provides hundreds of images and video clips to animate your blog posts into videos. Click here to check out some of our articles-turned-videos here.
What Videos Do Digital People Want To Watch?
Great, now that you know where to go… what do you make a video about? Good question. A helpful place to start is to see what kind of videos your audience likes to watch.
If you don't have your own metrics, go to the websites, forums, and social media platforms where your audience normally hang out online.
Do they tend to like explainer videos? Maybe their activity shows they like to watch news reports, but tend to mostly share inspirational videos.
Regardless of your audience's preferences, timeless things to always focus on are storytelling, novelty, and real value.
And since we are on the subject of mobile marketing, you can tweak your videos' format to suite your target demographic's preferred mobile platform. Do they like Instagram? Go square. Outside of Instagram, vertical videos perfectly work so people do not need to rotate their phone.
Word Up: The Content Lifestyle
Remember to also promote and share your videos. It's an all too real reality where videos can be uploaded to Youtube and indefinitely hold a solid zero views.
Word Up:
Not very motivating. And the team here is very concerned about helping you stay motivated. So, check out signing up for a Swomi Flyer – they use automation technology to curate an audience interested in your content and send them directly to your videos, blog, or website.
Look forward to seeing your videos! Give us a mention with @SwomiBUZZ on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook.

White Hype
More than 50 years after the The Beatles double album debuted, artist Rutherford Chang is keeping the White Hype alive with his show "We Buy White Albums". Chang's collection of 2,295 copies of the "White Album" will be part of Hyper! A Journey into Art and Music at the Deichtorhallen from March 1 – August 4. If you are in Germany, it's worth a visit.
That's 927 more albums than when we last checked in with him in 2017 in Tokyo. If you'd like to listen to his remix and help him grow his collection to over 1000, archiving your copy of the White Album through Chang's artwork, visit the show or contact him through his instagram page.
Make Art Great Again
Watergate, Irangate, Pizzagate. Political scandals and conspiracies abound with disturbing frequency of late and they often become legendary beyond the history books. Their intrusion into art, music and theater drags these plots through the filter of creative criticism and thrusts them back again into mainstream pop-culture in the form of t-shirts and viral memes. In the end, the result can serve to accentuate or obfuscate the underlying truths. The outcomes can help us learn and move past scandal or they can be a painful reminder of our failure to deal with them in the first place.
In the exhibition "Everything is Connected: Art and Conspiracy," The Met Breuer delivers a wide-ranging review of scandal inspired artworks from 1969-2016, an intriguing "archaeology of our troubled times." Thirty artists present their own unique fact finding missions through photography, paintings, drawings and videos. Whether through Jenny Holzer's infamous symbolic narrative, Hans Haacke's weaponization of alternative facts or the truth telling of the Black Panthers Minister of Culture, Emory Douglas, these artists show their disdain for the public corporatist propaganda machine and demonstrate their ability to battle corruption, bureaucracy, and the media with a touch of their own medicine.
Particularly compelling are the works of Trevor Paglen, whose mid-career survey last year at the National Portrait Gallery was an incredible show of force, shining a bright light on government secrecy within the hallowed halls of the very public institution dedicated to revering the Presidents and most powerful of lawmakers.
A lasting legacy of this exhibition, and perhaps its most urgent call to action, is that truth is not always self-evident. To move beyond scandal and conspiracy, we must look squarely at the competing visions of the past and future and attempt to learn from them in the present. If we do not, our museums, galleries and pop-culture will be filled with red M.A.G.A hats, yellow shocks of hair and "fake news" conspiracies for years to come – a scandalous prospect to say the least.
As always, Michele Schuff's work is an inspiration. Check out this article on LinkedIn Pulse and visit Sandler Hudson Gallery for more information. Highlights from the opening are in the event liveblog.
Forever never comes – or does it?
Michele Schuff's highly anticipated new show opens on February 2nd at Sandler Hudson Gallery in Atlanta. To explore Michele's work is to discover a deep and indecipherable sensitivity masked by layers of wax and pigment. Indeed she may only have scratched the surface of her immense talent in a show that promises to take us to a new galaxy "On The Edge of Forever." Having had a sneak peek inside her studio a few months ago, I am intensely curious to peer through the polished lens of Michele's telescope. Knowing her work, I don't expect to unearth any dark abyss, but a world full of light and wonder and awe. Her show runs through March 17th at 1000 Marietta Street NW, Atlanta, GA 30318.
Confessions to the Whitney Biennial
On the first of what will no doubt be several visits to the 2017 Whitney Biennial I was confronted with an uneasy feeling. As I worked my way through the crowded galleries, I stood shoulder to shoulder with others pondering the works before me. It was like standing next to a stranger in a public bathroom, looking into the mirror. Are we staring at ourselves, or looking past one another wondering what the other person is thinking, while trying not to make eye contact. However innocuous the encounter, I walked away from each artwork feeling that we are all here because of a common purpose and a desire for shared experience.
The "Zeitgeist" portrayed in the Whitney's newest survey of American art is one of seriousness and concern over the polarization in society. Significant artworks deal with themes of inequality and injustice that were at the forefront of last year's election. Probably the most talked about piece is Dana Schutz's homage to Emmett Till, the painting of a young black boy who was brutally killed following false accusations by a white woman in Mississippi in 1955. Controversy erupted as some black artists protested what could be perceived as profiteering on a "black death spectacle," criticizing that – as a white female artist – Schutz has no ownership in the cultural heritage and the civil rights movement that the image of Emmett Till represents. In her defense, Schutz has made clear that she never intends to sell the painting.
I disagree with the criticism and feel strongly that it is for all Americans to own that shared cultural heritage including the shamefulness of white supremacy. It's certainly better to confront that experience than to run away from it or deny its continued existence. Biennial's co-curator, Christopher Lew on artnet put it this way: "It is deeply painful and traumatic—more so for some than others, in unequal terms—but it is something that we all have to deal with, and I think if we don't confront it, if we don't have these kind of conversations, then we're not getting anywhere."
That painting is also the subject of a personal confession and the source of that unsettling mirror-image I was feeling. In a moment of pictographic ambiguity, the yellow cloth surrounding the victim's head suddenly resembled the shock of yellow-blond hair that we have all become too familiar with. Was it Emmett Till's casket open in front of me or was I staring into a dystopian void in which Donald Trump was staring back at me? However fleeting, this weird moment of confusion was a reminder that the subject of racism is ever present in society today. Our fate as Americans – white and black – are all wrapped up in the heritage that led to the death of Emmett Till and we have a shared responsibility to deal with it. I am reminded of the song "Everyone's a little bit racist" from the musical Avenue Q:
If we all could just admit
That we are racist a little bit,
And everyone Stopped being so P.C.,
Maybe we could Live in — harmony!
In the words of another notable white figure, controversial on matters of racial injustice, the Polish-British author Joseph Conrad said this: "In order to move others deeply we must deliberately allow ourselves to be carried away beyond the bounds of our normal sensibility…" Whether through literature or painting, art has a way of transcending reality to engage us in new ways of thinking about ourselves and our shared experience.
Biennial co-curator Mia Locks wraps up the exhibition this way: "When people keep talking about racism, when people keep talking about inequity, when people keep talking about debt — when conversations come around without you bringing it up — you realize: These are the ideas!"
For a show bustling with the energy of an overzealous crowd in search of the next big controversy, the Whitney Biennial also offers quiet moments of reflection. The busy visitor will miss the beauty and poignancy in "Harmony of Difference", a video and music installation by jazz musician Kamasi Washington. As I stood and watched, I could hear hushed questions from impatient passersby asking "is anything going to happen".
Slow images rolled by as visitors came and went. For those who patiently waited, Washington's beguiling music evolved and the video rewarded greatly with "Desire," "Humility," "Knowledge," "Perspective" and "Integrity" – the five themes beautifully woven together. My take away of the whole biennial: for true understanding, we must take the time to look (and listen) carefully and to see deeply.
Water Abstracts – Silvia Sinha – Video Recap
Domo Arigato to all of the visitors to the exhibition "Water Abstracts" – artworks by Berlin artist Silvia Sinha. Thanks for commenting on the tranquil beauty of these works, which mirror the Japanese aesthetic for calm (odayaka), impermanence (mujō) and the essence of minimalist order (kanso). Enjoy this recap. If you like what you see, think about adding Silvia's works to your collection. Contact Project Art Lounge for details.

You've come to this website in search of answers: Am I being abused? What does that look like? What will my family and friends think? Is it my fault? We hope we have helped you begin to find some of those answers. But there are other questions that may emerge even after you have found the answers to the more fundamental questions we just mentioned. These answers are all in the arena of What Do I Do Now?
Deciding whether to separate or remain in a relationship can be full of bewilderment, confusion, and wrenching guilt. Making such a serious decision, with all the complex consequences that follow, is fraught with internal prohibitions, even if one's own instinct is telling her it is the right thing to do.
For instance:
- Many people of faith find that their Church cautions against or forbids separation. If not officially, then members of or friends in a church group may cast aspersions on the person separating.
- The Bible cautions against separation (add citation) but allows for it as long as there is a return, for the love of the Lord.
- For others, families may hold a tradition of never having a divorce in their lineage.
- And then, many people suffering from covert abuse wonder how their children will be affected and whether their own abusive experiences will be understandable enough to children of varying ages to justify breaking up the family.
- In any of these ways, separation can become a ripe field for Double Abuse®.
There are so many areas of life to consider when you consider whether to stay or go, parenting, work responsibilities, financial concerns, other interpersonal relationships, that you may hesitate or delay making the decision until your circumstances become unbearable. Once they do, you may react impulsively because you have passed your ability to manage your situation, which only causes more chaos and harm, to yourself or others.
This is why to take the time to make a deliberate, thoughtful, and balanced decision to stay or go is the wise and brave path to follow. Having read many of these pages, you may now understand that you have been or are a victim of abuse, in one or more of its many forms. If so, your decision to stay or go is pivotal, as well as being a personal, one, particular to you, even if it is difficult to come to terms with. We would not presume to steer you in one direction or another about your decisions, because at some point you will know best what is the most healing path to take, but we can present to you some things to think about as you grapple with one of the most important decisions of your life.
You may not be sure enough or ready enough to leave. You may feel that you need to give your relationship another, or one last, chance. There may be legitimate reasons for staying: your vows and values, your sense that you have not exhausted all possible avenues of help, pregnancy, lack of a support system, illness of yourself or your partner, financial hardship if you leave, a recent move to a new location.
If you feel, for any number of reasons including those we might not have mentioned, that you need to stay in your relationship, ask yourself:
- Who am I staying for?
- Is there anything I can do to make staying the best direction to follow?
- If I stay, do I have the evidence that things will improve? And if they don't, what then?
- Are there ways to get help for my partner?
- Can I be protected within this relationship?
- Can I ensure within this relationship that my children are protected?
- Are there legal services that can help me?
- If there are financial reasons that compel me to stay, can I get a job? Return to school for further education? Get help from my family or friends?
- Do I have others to turn to if I change my mind?
- In that case, what would a separation look like?
Dr. David Hawkins, an expert in relationships has written, "There has to be a breakdown before there is a breakthrough". What this means is that often when we are in a relationship that has deteriorated, we cannot gain perspective, ensure our safety, access our own self-efficacy.
If this is the case, separation can offer:
- An essential way to build boundaries
- Create a safety net from emotional and/or physical battery
- Discover new ways to be taken seriously
- Give us the time and space for emotional and physical recovery in which to learn to think without distress, gain new perspectives, and restore our sense of self.
Separation is considered clinically correct and necessary because the relational problems have become so entrenched that they can't be sorted out as a couple at this point in time for two reasons: one, you don't have the clarity you need to understand what has been happening to you, and, two, your partner is afraid of your enlightenment. Separation may be the best avenue through which to stop the retraumatization you experience on a daily basis.
A separation is not a time to act out all your mix of feelings, your fantasies, your revenge, your blaming, your shame, anger, fear, or disgust. It is a time to use bounded space for recovery, to seek expert help, clarify your experiences, to think, and to make informed decisions, while continuing to honor and uphold the vows of your marriage. Accordingly, we recommend what is called Controlled Separation.
In Controlled Separation, you form an agreement in which both parties respect the bounds of marriage or their relationship while having time and a space to work through the problems you have been unable to work out together.
Reasons for a Controlled Separation may include but are not limited to:
- Infidelity
- Addiction
- Overt or covert abuse
- Betrayal
- Threats
- Taking advantage of a partner financially, socially, or in parenting
A number of churches have adopted Controlled Separation policies, recognizing that they may be the most reasoned and effective path to safety, secure reconciliation, or, if necessary, amicable divorce.
Controlled Separation involves making contractual agreements about:
- The reasons for separation
- The length of time for the separation
- The postponement of divorce action for a specified period of time, while retaining the right to seek legal advice
- Logistical concerns for communication, child visitation, living conditions, financial arrangements
- With whom will you spend your discretionary time? Who will you avoid? Who will confide in?
- How to discuss or not discuss your experience with others, family, friends, co-workers?
- What kind of outside support will you seek, individually or together? We recommend a safe, reliable, and fair Accountability Partner who can hold the alleged perpetrator to his necessary work and is also compassionate toward the victim.
These are just a few examples of the many areas that need to be agreed upon in order to use a Controlled Separation toward your goal of making a decision to repair and fully reinstate your marriage or to move toward an amicable divorce. There are several examples of Controlled Separation Agreements on the Internet. For one such template, go to FormsDepot for a free copy of an Agreement.
After a period of separation, many new questions are going to surface, most of them about "What next?" Embedded is these questions is a most fundamental one, "Should we reunite?"
While neither the victim nor the alleged perpetrator may like to hear this, any reunion rests mainly on the shoulders of the perpetrator. Reunion depends on wanting help and getting the right help. And that wanting means that the perpetrator finally comes to a place of recognizing and taking responsibility for his abuse. He may have refused to admit to his destructive behavior or that he needs help. His friends may egg him on, escalating the abuse. He may dismiss the seriousness of his actions, belittling her for being "weak." Perhaps no one will intervene. He will not be contradicted in his positions. Until he can come to terms with the reality of what his partner has been suffering, reunion is unrealistic.
The victim does not carry the responsibility for the actions of her partner. There is no excuse or supposed reason for abusing anyone, at any time, under any circumstances. As we have said in the pages, Abuse is NOT a mistake. It IS a choice. The victim will have her own work to do in terms of becoming free of fear, implementing strong boundaries, handling the guilt she may feel at separating, recovering from the degrading shame she has experienced, and coping with all the consequences of the primary trauma or Double Abuse® she has suffered, as well as the consequences of her decision to stay or go.
The perpetrator has deep, consistent, and profound work to do in recognizing his long-held patriarchal belief systems, becoming accountable for the purposes he had for the abuse, learning how to treat a partner with equality and in mutually beneficial ways, repairing damage, making amends, and learning how to be emotionally present and responsible for his own internal life, mentally and psychologically, and its expression. Without this work, any thought of reunion is fraught with potential danger.
We, as founders of The M3ND Project, have gone in different directions concerning reunion. For one of us, divorce became the inevitable result of separation, because not only was the partner unwilling to do the work involved, he refused to recognize the problems that existed as he continued the abuse. After her own rigorous process of clarification, struggling with the decision to separate, coming to terms with the heartbreaking fact that her husband was unable to recognize the damage he was doing or engage in repair, she made the difficult decision to divorce. Eventually, after her own internal work, she was able to marry again now with a husband who is reciprocal and respectful, supportive, loving, and her best friend. For the other one of us, both she and her partner fundamentally wanted to save the marriage, despite its many challenges. In order to find clarity, gain perspective, create safety, and establish boundaries, she separated, continuing to do her own individual therapeutic work. Her partner, struggling to give up the destructive relationships with certain friends and affiliations who were double abusing, and with a great deal of help in skilled and effective therapy and programs, came to the place where he could finally recognize the covert abuse that he engaged in and do the long and grueling work to find a completely different way of relating. They have reunited and are enjoying their life together in ways they never thought possible, while continuing to do their reparative work individually and together.
We hope that these pages will help you sort out what is happening to you in your primary relationship and support you on your journeys to clarity, courage, hope, and health.

A report published by Bloomberg Intelligence in June said factories planned by Chinese companies could have the battery capacity to produce more than 120 GWh by 2021 – enough to supply 1.5 million Tesla Model S vehicles. This will be over three times initial the battery cell capacity of the Tesla Gigafactory at 35 GWh.
As of 2014, the projected capacity of Gigafactory for 2020 was to have been 35 gigawatt-hours per year of cells as well as 50 gigawatt-hours per year (5.7 MW) of battery packs. During the 2016 Tesla Shareholders Meeting, Elon Musk announced that the company could triple the total planned battery output of the Gigafactory to ~105 GWh of cells and ~150 GWh of battery packs – or over 3 times the current total li-ion battery production worldwide.
Germany has announced a new plan for a $1 billion factory on batteries. Frankfurt-based start-up TerraE Holding GmbH is preparing to set up its own 34 GWh lithium-ion battery cell production facilities.
The world will need 100 Gigafactories to transition to electric transport and renewable energy.
Thailand-based Energy Absolute Pcl, a company developing solar projects, confirmed that it is preparing to spend up to 100 billion baht ($2.9 billion) on an important battery factory project that could produce up to 50 GWh of li-ion batteries per year.
Elon Musk has said he will announce "probably four" new gigafactories this year. One has long been slated for Europe, and another has been confirmed to be in the works in Shanghai, China.
The recent announcements follow at least five gigafactory proposals put forward for Europe before the end of last year, including facilities in Sweden, Hungary and Poland. Not all the new plants will focus on lithium-ion batteries, though.
Global battery-making capacity is set to more than double by 2021, topping 278 gigawatt-hours a year compared to 103 gigawatt-hours at present.
