Congratulations to Sian and Paul Ferenc, who held their wedding reception at Chateau Impney Hotel on 20 June 2015.
Sian and Paul got married at St Benet's Catholic Church, Kemerton, Worcestershire, before heading to the Chateau for a reception with all of their family and friends.
Their guests were able to sit on the terrace and appreciate the beautiful surroundings, while the couple had their photographs taken, knowing their guests were being well looked after by our staff.
One of the highlights of the day for Sian and Paul was when duty manager Stephen announced them as the new Mr and Mrs Ferenc, with all of their guests standing up to welcome them. It was a very special moment as it is unlikely all of their family and friends will be in the same room at the same time again.
Following their wedding, Sian and Paul had a short break in Cornwall and are hoping to go on safari for their honeymoon later in the year.
It was an honour to host Sian and Paul's special day and we wish them all the very best for the future.

For many women, urinary tract infections, or UTIs, are a recurring and painful annoyance whose standard treatment is usually a round of antibiotics, which, ironically can increase the chances of having another one – not to mention boost antibiotic-resistance risk. While every patient in pain wants to stop it as quickly as possible, in the long-term, multiple rounds of antibiotics aren't the answer – prevention is. To help keep UTIs from taking hold, try a few lifestyle adjustments – and save the antibiotics for a real emergency:
Oops, I did it again
Though men can get UTIs, women suffer far more frequently primarily due to their anatomy. Unfortunately, the shorter length of women's urethras tend to make it easier for bacteria to break through the body's natural defenses and start to flourish. Consequently, women need to be conscious of the kinds of behaviors that can set the stage for the bacterial growth—and have a sustainable preventative plan in place.
Beware the trouble-makers
There might be just one factor that's fostering the bacterial growth or there may be several, so it may require a bit of detective work on your end. And while some women may find sexual activity is one of their most frequent triggers, there are also a number of other, less obvious bacterial growth-promoters that your momma (or your gynecologist) probably never warned you about. A few of the classic offenders:
1. 'Holding it in' – ignoring signals to urinate which encourages bacteria to flourish
2. Dehydration – be it light or severe, not drinking enough fluids is a key contributor
3. Too much sugar in the diet – which feeds bacteria, enabling them grow
4. Extended bouts of sitting – which is linked with increased kidney problems and UTIs
5. Diaphragms and spermicide – which on their own or in combination can foster irritation and bacterial growth
6. Poor hygiene – as in wiping in the wrong direction, accidentally transferring bacteria from the back to the front
7. Bubble baths – the soaps that make the bubbles, as well as the hot water, can exacerbate symptoms
8. Antihistamines, decongestants and cold meds – which can inhibit the bladder from fully emptying, boosting UTI risk
9. Pregnancy – which can also make fully emptying the bladder difficult and foster bacterial growth
10. Air travel – which combines dehydration, limited bathroom access, sugary, processed foods, plus hours of sitting
11. Aging – Another culprit that often doesn't get talked about? Aging. Some of the biological and chemical changes associated with aging, like menopause, diabetes, some prescription drug use – such as those for high blood pressure – can also compromise your ability to fight off infection, making middle-aged and older women more susceptible to UTIs.
Haven't got time for the pain?
And now – the good news. Just as there are seemingly endless ways to contract a UTI, there are just as many ways to fight them off, and none of them involve repeatedly bombing yourself with antibiotics. If you're prone to UTIs, taking advantage of one or a combination of the following protocols should significantly reduce your susceptibility:
1. Never miss an opportunity to hit the loo
Doing so will keep bacteria moving out of your system vs. hanging around too long and replicating. Don't be shy about frequent bathroom breaks, put your health first and just 'let it go," as often as the urge strikes.
2. Drink fluids
And plenty of them, to help dilute and keep moving bacteria out of your system. Another plus of staying hydrated? It'll force you out of your office chair and add a bit more movement to your day.
3. Ditch sugar
Yes, there are a million reasons to dump the sweet stuff, and not feeding UTI bacteria is one more!
4. Get a stand-up desk
To reduce strain on your kidneys.
5. Fly smarter
Get up and do a lap around the cabin at least once an hour. Do some light stretches on line for the bathroom. When the water tray comes around, make yours a double. And avoid carbs and sweets while in the air (as well as the ground.)
6. Empty your bladder
Empty your bladder immediately following (not before) sexual activity to help clear bacteria from the urethra.
7. Consider birth control alternatives
that are less likely to encourage bacterial growth.
8. Wipe properly
– always from front to back.
9. Shower –
instead of taking bubble baths or hot tub soaks.
10. Avoid OTC cold, flu and allergy meds
– and focus instead on building up immunity.
11. Change your diet
– quit sugar and processed foods; eat a healthy, plant-based diet; make time for exercise, relaxation and good quality sleep.
12. Reinforce your UTI-repelling powers naturally
– with regular probiotic supplementation. You can also try a short course of D-mannose supplements (the active ingredient in cranberry juice, more concentrated and minus the extra sugar) and usnea uva ursi, an herbal extract.
If, despite your best efforts, UTIs continue, check with your doctor for a further examination and to review additional treatment options. When symptoms are acute, don't ignore them and talk to your doctor right away to prevent the infection from heading to your kidneys and causing more serious damage.

The Secret
25th-26th-27th May
Kerry O'Brien has a secret so terrible it burns inside her. All she wants is to be part of a normal family, but with a stepfather like Bill, that is impossible.
Set in the 1970s when secrets like this were only ever whispered about, Kerry somehow keeps her humour by pretending everything is fine. Then she meets biker Tommy, and he has his own secret; one that impacts on her.
Kerry's secret becomes harder to keep and the tell-tell signs harder to hide. Can she keep it together? Can Tommy and Kerry get it together?
Then the worst happens and Kerry's secret is a secret no more.
What the readers are saying:
The story is gripping and interesting, the romance warm and simmering. I absolutely loved the ending, which gives the story an almost fairy tale-like feeling. All in all, it was a very enjoyable two hour read, and I whole heartedly recommend it to fans of the genre.
S Anderson
I really enjoyed this book and I was automatically drawn into the characters world, from the very first page. Tommy treats Kerry like a queen and it's so refreshing to read a story where the man respects and truly loves the girl.
Jenna Hodge
The way this author wrote about one family's life in 1970 Manchester was authentic and enjoyable. I enjoyed being lost in nostalgia for a short time and wallowing in the memories of that era's music and singers. The well-developed characters seemed realistic and the places were vividly described.

Hi its nearly 12 months since my husband was diagnosed with gbm4 he was given 6-12 months - no surgery was offered and after a trial we found in london just for 3 months the tumor continued growing and now we are just waiting. i know you have been through this and wondered if you have any recommendations on sleeping at night for me and my 2 children 14 and 16 who are praying he will make it to their birthdays 22 and 16 july.
by eternalife on Wed Jun 24, 2015 12:52 AM
For you, you need your sleep for yourself and to manage your kids. .. speak to your physician and likely he/she will recommend a sleeping aid. There may be some alternatives for your children.. certain teas will calm the nerves and create a healthy sleep pattern.. stick to a regular routine at bedtime.. so your bio rhythm will not be upset.
It is not easy for the caregivers and loved ones, maintaining normalcy is important and not let the feelings and emotions rule in tough times.
Take care.. you will get through...

Crystal Cruises' Crystal Serenity rescued two rowers this morning who had capsized their small boat 480 miles west of the Canary Islands overnight. 23 year-old Tom Fancett from the U.K. and Tom Sauer from the Netherlands, who were competing with 16 other boats in the 2011 Atlantic Challenge Race to row across the Atlantic, spent 10 hours in a tiny life raft after a large wave sunk their boat. The ultra-luxury cruise ship was 120 nautical miles north of the rowers, on her own Transatlantic cruise en route to St. Maarten, when it received the rescue assist call from the Falmouth Coast Guard. Crystal Serenity picked up the men at 6:00 a.m. this morning.
Captain Økland sailed full speed to the stranded boaters, through worsening weather and very small crafts of other contest participants. With lookouts posted throughout the night, Crystal Serenity located the boaters' flare five hours later. Captain Økland carefully maneuvered close to the raft, and the shipwrecked persons were rescued directly onto Crystal Serenity.
Upon checkup in the ship's medical center, both survivors appear to be healthy. Crystal Serenity expects to arrive on schedule in St. Maarten on Sunday.

RIKLA «The Fire of the Unified Cosmos»
Book One, talk 47 p.346
Rodaina, Kiev, 2003
A Sledge – hammer stroke against the anvil
A Sword was forged out of the
Fiery metal
Strong wind started to blow
The Sword has become tempered
The clouds have dissipated
Yelena – a Child of Earth – a Human Being.
At this moment you are opening the gates of Creativity of the Unified Cosmos and stepping on the Path of service to Truth. Cleanness of your Heart, fearlessness of your Spirit and disinterestedness of your thoughts have brought you by Earthly Paths to this moment – Eternity. You are free! There's no your past any more, there's no your future, there is only an instant – a fly in the Eternity. Since this moment the Unified Fire – a Breath of Cosmos – has been living in your Heart. Carry this Fire, present it to people. Follow the Paths of its Creativity to any point in the space of Cosmos, for you are a Toiler of Earth, a Toiler of Heavens.
The Ray of your Service is known. It carries Light to wayfarers having lost their way in the Ocean of Universe in their movement towards Truth.
Your name is Ilaana – Dissolved in Truth. Your name is a call of the Lord of the Ray of your Creativity – it is a thread, bringing your Hearts together. It's a true connection.
Be blessed, a companion and a sister of Earthly Family – Heavenly Brotherhood…
Such is the beginning of the last talk in the cycle a Master – an Initiation. In this way the channel of Initiation of an Aiin Ilaana into a Priestess of the Paths of the Family of Creators on Earth is opened by Heavens. With these words the Lord of the Ray of her service Saint–Germain is greeting the servant of the Temple of his Chamber on Earth. The year that had preceded this Initiation ended up with the Creativity of Sarcophagus. The years of preparation for meeting the Fire turned out to be childish games, which had to be left behind the gates of Rikla's Temple. This is the first and the most rigid demand of the Lord. All previously accumulated experience, having become useless, is thrown down off the shoulders of the one who managed to reach the laboratory, and is left in a common heap of useless rubbish. Having gone through the years of trials, having become a part of the Fire of the Unified Cosmos, a Priest, a Priestess, a bearer of the knowledge, stepping on the Path of service may rummage in this dust hole taking with himself all the best and necessary, once having been left there. With the aim of making use of this unnecessary rubbish – his experience in work with people, but in full vision of what is happening. There is great deal of those who wish to receive an Initiation into the Aiins' Family. There are hundreds of letters from sannyasins, from the followers of a spiritual practice of Reiki (they make up the majority – there are thousands of them), followers of the teaching of Porphyry Ivanov, of the science of Reason, from the followers of the greatest bearers of Knowledge, collaborators of the Shambola of Earth Yelena and Nicolas Roerich.
By the way, in the fourth volume of our book we are going to show you a splendid facet of mutual Creative Work in absolute Unity of Yelena Roerich and the Aiins Family. Probably it will happen nearer to the year of 2000. It's simpler with Nicolas Roerich. I have got an impression that he is already working on Earth. What about you? Be attentive and you will hear these energies.
And all those having wishes I send to Bodhidharma. He will remind you: «A man, who has wrong wishes, who has wishes at all is condemned for a fall into Hell». The energy of a wish is the energy of wretchedness, which is shaked out of those who have reached the Aiin Chamber like dust is shaked out of a straw mat of a dzen – buddhist, which he uses for sleep and meditation, perceiving wisdom in solving a Coan. Well, you can see it yourself, there are thousands, hundreds, dozens, but a few are toiling today in the Temple of the Fire. Where are those who wish? In spite of all this Rikla doesn't take any money for the Initiation into the Aiins' Family, for opening the healing channels, for the Initiation into the levels of the Master of the Fire – there are five of them, and they all are confirmed with symbols and mantras. The answer is simple and you will find it here in this book, reading attentively the energies given to you. For today, for January, 29, 1998 only one person has been initiated into the third stage of the Fire, one into the second stage of the Fire and four people have been initiated into the first stage. The equivalent of the stage of the initiated is adequate to the level of his awareness and cleanness of his thoughts. The cleaner are these indices, the hotter and the brighter is the Fire, especially during the healing séances, the results of which are astounding. In the current year three women – three Aiins, having unselfishly given their Hearts to the service of the Fire of Cosmos of this beautiful Planet will become the first Masters of the Fire. Today they are undergoing trials by social conditions beyond the walls of the laboratory. Their passing of this section of their paths is being rigidly controlled by a specially trained group of those who can see the energies of their movement. Such a process enables to correct in good time the energy of their movement in the forms of Earth.
Having become Masters each of them will become a servant of the Temple of the Ray having been defined by the Fire in various points of the space of Earth. New Laboratories will be organized in the Places of Power known to Aiins for the new masters and priests to be trained there.
Let be restored in the Fire those who once stepped into Its Flame and Fiery People will carry to Earth their Hearts' love.
Having shown to you, an initiated, and to you, not initiated, one
more of the facets of Aiins' Creative Work, I will come back to the
main intention of our talk. The energy of this creativity will come
to an end, the second volume of the «Fire of the Unified Cosmos» will
be published, all the points in the space of misunderstanding of occurring
processes will coincide in your awareness, and Rikla… this is unknown.
Probably he will be far away from the dear
More and more often on the pages of newspapers and magazines we come across the articles about anomalous phenomena, something is happening with Earth and people in their relationship. On concrete examples you will be shown the essence, the kernel of it, and conclusions you are to draw yourselves. Further comes a short digression. Not in vain I'm obstinately delaying the moment of concrete continuation of the talk «Initiation» in its second part. Everything is simple, you are being prepared for the acceptance of energies which we undoubtedly have approached very close. Let's for a moment find ourselves in another space, Lake Baikal. An inexhaustible source of existence of many civilizations, a storehouse of knowledge. A part of land close to the Sea and the Sea itself is a shelter for many energies of extra–terrestrial origin both of subtle and physical perception. Let's take out of this immense space a small piece of land – the island of Olykhon. We won't speak about it being multidimensional, about civilizations existing in a parallel world, as well as about it being visited by extra–terrestrial awarenesses on the physical level. Local population know it very well, as they get into such kinds of places quite often. They are lucky enough if they manage to get out of such places, in other words, they are allowed to go away. By the way, such cases are rather rare, more often people don't return, they just vanish. But all this is in plural, and we are speaking about only one situation having been formed around the Gill–Loss civilization.
It is strange, isn't it? The parallel world. The neighbors. The main city, their Chamber is situated right under the very north extremity of the island, cape Hoboy, in the thickness of Earth covered up by the waters of the Sea. We, the Aiins, are working in the Unity with this world and its inhabitants. You, hundreds and thousands of visiting this sacred place on Earth, you must Know – there, underneath, life is gushing up, the noise of the cities and the rumble of the traffic are heard. Put your ear against the Earth, listen attentively, stop your running thoughts, eliminate emotions of your importance of being the governors of the planet and you will hear, yes, you will.
The Gill –Loss civilization is asking you to stop the works on deep drilling of Lake Baikal's bottom within the given boundaries. The center is cape Hoboy. Seventy – five kilometers long zone in the north, one hundred thirty kilometers to the South. Two hundred fifty kilometers in the East and thirty five kilometers long zone in the West. The scientists of your world lack sufficient knowledge to be able to carry out such investigation in the given region. You must stop.
The Gill – Loss civilization is warning you:
«Knowledge on the destruction of the island in relation to many aspects of human activity on this land had been given to lamas and shamans of the native Buriat population. They warned you against possibility of sinking of the most part of the island under the water. Only uninhabited northern part will remain. The balance of energies has been violated. By this drilling you are sure to accelerate the possibility of island's disappearance, but in the first place people participating in these works will begin to suffer. Everything depends on you. Whether to go on working or to stop it. Each bore hole within the limits of the given boundaries is sure to entail the destruction of the integrity of the energies of your space. For you to make it clear we will show it on the example of the problem of your civilization.
An ozone hole. What will happen to you if the number of such holes increases? Give an answer to this question and get down to solving the problem of your integrity preservation. The time has come to give up your personal ambitions, dissertations, big money, thrown away on the bottom of the sea. We won't let the invasion happen. »
We were shown the picture of disappearance of the island in case people continue destroying it. This is not only the case with the concrete scientists, drilling the island. This also concerns the islanders themselves having been left to the mercy of fate by their nation, and also businessmen, and administration of the national park. The island is being robbed. Non- organized tourism is very profitable to private owners, but to a large extent it contributes to land pollution. Every summer hundreds of cars encroach upon nature reserve, destroying cowberries' areas, trampling down relicts, medicinal herbs, mud springs. One thing is not taken into consideration, that this sacred place is under intent attention of Cosmos.
And now coming back to the picture of disappearance of the island. The cataclysm, i.e. opening wide of Earth, eruption of mud-stone lava will continue for nearly thirty minutes. There is practically no probability to save the inhabitants of the island. Today there exists only one possibility to stop the destruction of the island and to prevent its disappearance, that is cleanness of your thoughts and deeds.
Human beings, dealing with vital functions of the island, stop wrecking the integrity of your home - a tiny piece of land, though very significant from the point of view of Cosmos for the preservation of life on your planet. We know that this concrete information will reach scientists in Irkutsk, and the voice of reason will prevail over personal ambitions. I can hear your question. I am answering it. When we came to know about it today at the end of January 1977, we wouldn't be heard, moreover, we would be oppressed in every possible way with the aim of elimination of the given information. We hade analyzed all this closely and saw the book to be an only source of perception.
Initiation. Yes, we have initiated you into the certain aspects of life creativity of the energy of Cosmos on one of its small parts - Earth.
Another side of man's activity, but in an absolutely different point of space. The aim? To show how the pure energy of Cosmos in the "hands" of "masters" of certain spiritual traditions, masters liable to avidity, love of power, gaining material welfare is becoming devil's instrument. Hack-workers (masters) of the tradition of Reiki seem to have paid their attention to us, an intent attention. Don't you believe? We didn't believe either, when we learned that the Ukrainian "master" Anand had forbidden his disciples to read the Aiins'book «The Fire of the Unified Cosmos". We didn't say anything special in it, the only thing we did, we gave a brief introductory course into the world of energies of Cosmos. Try to guess, why he acted in such a way?
Ah! Your civilization is gaining strength. Of course, money.
We have begun to take it away, in other words, we don't allow to take it out of your purses. May be that's why not a single person came to a joint group of "masters" Anand and Chandira in Donetzk at the end of 1997?
No, Rikla, not because of it at all. The matter is that earlier than anybody we managed to see that there was no energy in their "creative work". Each time everything is the same. Don't they see it themselves?
They do! Money, that is what stands behind it, big money.
Oh, I see. That is why when Anand rang up to a group of yoga massage
in Donetzk he said: "There must be no less than thirty people, honey.
And each of them must have in his pocket no less than one hundred
and ten dollars." If I'm not mistaken, this is how national currency
of the
Oh, now I understand, what Chandira deplored at that failed group: «We are bringing you spirituality and you…» And then tears, howl - according to the scenario, familiar to you.
The background to this act of manipulation sounds like that:" and I'm loving money, I'm loving money…"
Another city - Moscow, Christmas. Characters and performers are the same.
But in the circle there are already thirty - four people, three Initiated Aiins
among them. You were present at this performance lasting for three
hours, having preliminary paid for attending it twenty dollars, weren't
you? If I'm not mistaken, this is how national currency of
In this circle the question of initiation was touched upon. We've already given to people the talks from the cycle "A Master - an Initiation" not waiting for the publication of the second volume. When the circle was over Chandira came up to Aveyna, thanked her and told (it would have been better if she hadn't):" When initiating my disciples I'm trying to be quiet and attentive." This is word for word. What on Earth aren't people doing in their ignorance! But they are people. And what about "masters"? I will only give you an explanation of the energy "attentive", the rest you will understand yourself. "I' am attentive". The energy of a physical plan is of a warning character. Look, and you'll see what is happening. Your aura has already been opened up. A thread of the energy of Reiki is invited there, which is to connect you with Cosmos, with the Teacher Micao Usui. Absolutely sterile channel of a subtle plan and physical energy of a subjected "master" rush into one and the same channel. In the given case a "master" is subjected to the energy of accumulation of material welfare, love of power. This is already enough and your dependence is guaranteed for many years.
And what if "the master" is a man, and you are extremely attractive, can you imagine, what sexual program it is possible to put into you?
And into a successful businessmen to be fleeced of his money? To ruin him is a child's play.
And into an experienced solicitor? She is sure to protect any of your interests.
And into a man possessing power? He is certain to overwhelm this Rikla…
Today initiations have taken mass psychoses. They can be lend, they can be given in installments or for providing some personal services with the aim of making use, gaining profit, enrichment.
Generally speaking, what is happening Micao Usui? Had you for this been dieing up the Hill for twenty - one days?
Generally speaking, what is happening, Jesus Christ? Had you for this been crucified?
There were times when you threw traders away from the Temples, today "spiritual leaders" bring the counters back into the Temples. Yes, I'm talking about you, "spiritualists", Anand and Chandira, trading in goods of Mark Hews in the Temples of Micao Usui and Master Osho Rajneesh.
People, is it enough for you, or you are as blind as before?
In Alma - Ata there is a "master" of Reiki Olga. Soon after the Initiation her flat was robbed. The black forces turned out not to be sleeping. Damned are they! Only Rikl doesn't agree to it. He always says to his Aiins: "You, only you yourselves are to blame for your troubles, don't be searching anywhere else but in yourselves."
Diipty, a "master" of Reiki from Kiev, licking the leavings of a chicken ham, is telling: "I've received my initiation in Puna (it's hard to speak, having choked with the chicken) from a Japanese master of one and only independent branch of Reiki". Sounds fantastically, I didn't know that there was such a branch.
-How much did it cost you?
-Thirteen thousand dollars.
It seems to
me, this is how national currency of
As simple as that! Just look! The newly born "master" is initiating the next day two more "masters", and…he becomes rich. Playing too long.
MAY BE - Finishing badly?
The energy of Reiki has been sold to devil by Reiki "masters" themselves. It's easier to earn money in the Chamber of the Lord of the Forms, cleanness is not required there, quite the contrary. As a result of it - today your soul is sold to devil through an initiation into the channel of Reiki. Of course, there are but a few Masters, trying to preserve Reiki in its cleanness, but these attempts are fruitless - the channel is the same. Here is its strength and here is its weakness in it. That is why, may be, the followers of the Teaching of Yelena Roerich are so closed from the whole world. Yelena Roerich experienced treachery on herself. People who had been following the Ray of her service for ten - fifteen years went to Lucifer's Chamber, having been tempted by the easiness of making money, by the depravation of the body. And today the followers sacredly fulfill the testament of Yelena Roerich - "be it less, but better", they don't let into their rows everyone being able to buy an entrance ticket. Only of proved worth warriors are allowed to carry the banner of the Teaching of Yelena and Nicholas Roerich towards Light.
Micao Usui has made only one mistake. He allowed to make initiations to all masters. Though, probably, it must have been his far going strategy. To return back to Earth the lost Knowledge, showing by this act the vicious essence of a man, having let him sell this Knowledge. Don't fall into illusions, those, wishing to be initiated and to become masters of Reiki tradition - this Knowledge is no longer on Earth. Keep your purses safe. The army of gipsy - hachworkers fully armed is ready to manipulate with your souls, covering themselves with the Light of Micao Usui.
At the conference in Moscow Phyllis Lei Furumotto wasn't able to answer many questions of "masters" concerning the loss of Reiki energy. Turn it over in your mind, why? You have a good deal of examples taken from life, but you prefer moving with your eyes closed. Wake up, shake yourself, sink into the very depth of your and only your being, and you will begin to see clearly.
Let me give you some brief analysis of some moments of spiritual activity of a contemporary man. I will give you only introductory energies, all the rest you will understand yourself. One and the same energy can be given either "in a compressed spring", i.e. in a few lines, or "in an extended spring" on several pages. I prefer a compressed spring, think it over, why?
One of the leaders of Ivanov's movement from Moscow region Valentin Lunyov all of a sudden became lucid and announced about it to his group.
That group does
not exist on Earth any longer, and in Heavens there is no energy of
mr. Lunyov's becoming lucid any more. What do you think, why? The
answer is given in the book "Taiya's Path - a Priestess of the
Aiins' Family from the series of books "The Fire of the Unified
Cosmos". At present the book is under publication, and in a
rough computer variant is being read in the
One man lives in Donetzk. His name is Vladimir Solomin. One day on one of the sections of his path he met a metal tube and he had a brain - wave. What if to ask a tube to strike his forehead and … he became terrified … Osho fell down the tree with his head to the ground at the age of twenty - one and … became lucid. Nowadays he is known all over the world, he owned nearly one hundred Rolls - Royces. And it doesn't matter that he was born to a poor family, sometimes life can play an interesting game. People are silly, they are sure to swallow everything you give them. And here comes a "full stop". Vladimir was even taken aback. The tube refused him. Either it turned out to be obstinate, or it became afraid of judiciary responsibility, who knows? But you are laughing for nothing, because every stick has two ends. There are two ways out of any hopeless situation. If you don't… then I'll… oh! An absolute loss of memory. So, everything is coinciding. At first there was darkness in the eyes, but now light has appeared. U-u-f! Everything has happened, I have become lucid. O.K., now I need a separate office, from where I will prophesy to people. I am going to take as much money as they will give. Do I need to be in touch with the authorities? – Of course, I do. So, now. Let me remember, aha, Ulyanov in October of 1917. Oh! Thank you, press, i.e. newspapers, radio and even television. Then I also need to inform people of my ideas about life in Cosmos, everything what is happening there can be rendered according to the time table. If so, let conditions for this creative work be provided for me.
You've already guessed, our dear readers, what is going to happen further, that's why, there is no use wasting ink and paper.
And now I will give a short explanation - a diagramme of Vladimir Solomin's becoming lucid. This man really lives in Donetzk, and he really happened to come across a tube, but the tube turned out to be of the wrong caliber. At the moment of the blow the impulse of lucid interval really occurred. The first impulse of energy, having come out from Vladimir's aura, not reaching the aura of Earth, rushed back. Entered Vladimir's aura, rushed up again, but with attenuation, and so forth… Look at the diagramme, and you will understand everything yourself. I'm not going to describe you the process of becoming lucid, you'll have a chance to experience it yourself. By the way, to strike one's head is not necessary. Surprise, joy, love, hatred, simple human feelings can cause a flash of Light. So, bear it in your mind, the next son or a daughter of a lieutenant Schmidt. Or otherwise there is a danger to remain there, above, and that doesn't enter your interests.
Through a stress situation Vladimir received an anomalous shift in his awareness, no more of it. It allows him today, having studied carefully the world of Ostap Bender, to get into relationship with people with the utmost profit for himself.
And I wouldn't write this article, if the obscured consciousness of the injured hadn't announced himself to be the energy of beyond Cosmos. There is a limit to everything. If we are able to think analytically through the factors of our own physiology and to see intuitively the movement of energies in the well known spiritual practices, we can make the following conclusion. A new kind of business, spiritual, came to birth on our planet. "Masters of Reiki", all without exception, can be considered the fathers of it. There's no need to innumerate them, the most skilful of them are known to you, so why to repeat?
And here is the last address in the frames of our talk.
The UFO specialists. You have good intentions, your interest to anomalous events and energies is great. But… once upon a time it had already been written about good intentions and a hell. Incredible adventures at the cost of your lives - is it a worthy price for insufficient Knowledge? And you lack so little in order to enter this world as equals, not as rabbits under the experiment. Give an answer to only three questions and we shall finish up this theme - the energy.
When you come to see somebody, do you knock first?
If the door is not opened to you, do you break in?
If you are breaking in, what is happening to you?
Study the ethics of man's behavior on Earth, and you won't be scared to come across anomalous phenomena. I wish you Vision, Vision and once more Vision, my dear investigators of the unknown and you are certain to enter the world of invisible Cosmos. Show to the people of Earth that it is as real as they are themselves. Be blessed those, who have sacrificed their lives to uniting the Worlds into an indivisible Whole.
So, it's time for us to say good - bye to you, our dear readers, on the pages
of the second book. The third book is under completion, the new experience,
the new knowledge, the new meetings and the further deepening into
the world of energies are awaiting for you. Now Rikla's way is leading
him to Puna,

By Miscellaneous Case No. 124225 and 126436, [Note 1] Gallo Construction Co., Inc. ("Gallo") and P. A. Landers, Inc. [Note 2] ("Landers") (collectively referred to as "Plaintiffs") appeal two decisions of the Board of Appeals of the Town of Sandwich ("Board"), pursuant to G.L. c. 40A, §17. Miscellaneous Case No. 124225 is an appeal from a decision of the Board, dated July 16, 1987, affirming the Sandwich Building Inspector's ("Building Inspector") decision to permit Gallo to operate a rock crushing and processing plant at its site in Forestdale, Sandwich, Massachusetts ("Forestdale Pit"), but prohibiting Gallo's processing of materials shipped in from other sites in the absence of a special permit. Miscellaneous Case No. 126436 is an appeal from the Board's decision dated December 22, 1987, in which the Board denied Gallo's application for a special permit for the importation of stone, gravel and earth materials to the Forestdale Pit.
The Plaintiffs essentially contend that the importation of materials to the Forestdale Pit from sites located elsewhere is a prior, valid nonconforming use for which no special permit is required. Further, they assert that, even if a special permit is required, their importation of materials to the Forestdale Pit is not more substantially detrimental to the neighborhood than such prior nonconforming use, and hence, the Board should have granted their request for a special permit. The Third-Party Plaintiffs/Intervenors ("Abutters") [Note 3] are the owners of property either abutting, or located directly across from, the Forestdale Pit. They assert that the Board's decision allowing Gallo to continue its rock crushing and processing operation in an "R-2" Residential Zoning District violates Sections 2200 et seq., 2400 et seq. and 4200 et seq. of the Sandwich Zoning By-law ("By-law") (Exhibit No. 40) and is thus a use barred by both a special permit and a variance. They further argue that even if Gallo's importation of materials to the Forestdale Pit for purposes of carrying on such rock crushing and processing operation is allowed by special permit, Gallo has not proven its entitlement thereto under Section 2420 of the By-law.
Prior to trial, the Court granted Gallo's application for a preliminary injunction restraining the Town of Sandwich, the Board, its members, agents, servants and representatives, including the Building Inspector, from enforcing, or attempting to enforce, the Building Inspector's Cease and Desist Order of September 21, 1987, or a portion of the Board's decision dated July 15, 1987, both of which require Gallo to halt its importation of materials to the Forestdale Pit, and from taking any action which would interrupt, stop or otherwise interfere with Gallo's continued importation of the same. The court also denied a pre-trial motion brought by the Abutter, Hewlett Packard Company, seeking to enjoin the Board from hearing Gallo's application for a special permit.
The matter was heard on February 27 and 28, and March 1, 1989, at which times all testimony was recorded and later transcribed by a court-appointed reporter. At the commencement of day one of trial, the parties submitted a Stipulation of Agreed Facts, certain of which facts are included in the findings set forth below. Seventeen witnesses testified, sixty exhibits were accepted into evidence and five chalks were presented to assist the Court. All exhibits and chalks are incorporated herein for purposes of any appeal. The Court, in the presence of counsel, viewed the subject premises on April 26, 1989.
On all of the evidence, I find and rule as follows:
1. The Forestdale Pit is located on a 77.4 acre tract of land adjacent to Peters Pond in Forestdale. As shown on Map No. 60 of the maps filed with the Sandwich Assessor's Office ("Assessor's Map") (Exhibit No. 3), Parcels No. C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, C-5 and C-6 comprise this tract of land.
2. The 6.38 acre parcel of land located adjacent to the Forestdale Pit ("Tilcon Parcel"), shown as Parcel No. C-2A on the Assessor's Map, was held by Gallo, in common ownership with the Forestdale Pit, from October 15, 1955 to September 20, 1968 as to approximately 5.0 acres, and until January 29, 1970 as to about 1.38 acres. Gallo has leased this parcel to Tilcon, Massachusetts, Inc. ("Tilcon") since November 1, 1986 (See Exhibit No. 19).
3. On July 1, 1956, Gallo leased the Forestdale Pit and the Tilcon Parcel to the Tri-City Concrete Company (See Exhibit No. 15).
4. By instrument dated October 15, 1973 (Exhibit No. 16), Gallo leased the Forestdale Pit to Campanella Corporation ("Campanella"). Thereafter, on January 31, 1975, Campanella assigned its interest thereunder to Simeone Corporation ("Simeone") (See Exhibit No. 17).
5. Following the expiration of the Campanella-Simeone Assignment, Gallo leased the Forestdale Pit to Ashland-Warren, Inc. ("Ashland-Warren"), said agreement being executed on March 1, 1978 (See Exhibit No. 18). Ashland-Warren's lease was terminated on November 1, 1986.
6. By instrument dated February 18, 1975, Simeone leased a portion of the Tilcon Parcel to Lawrence Ready-Mix Concrete Corporation (See Exhibit No. 28).
7. Until approximately 1973, Gallo operated a rock crushing and processing plant at the Forestdale Pit. Through this process, raw materials were supplied to a concrete batching plant on the adjacent Tilcon Parcel. In 1973, Gallo's rock crushing and processing operation was discontinued. Thereafter, in 1980, the equipment related to the rock crushing and processing plant was sold and removed from the Forestdale Pit.
8. In January of 1987, Gallo resumed its rock crushing and processing operation at the Forestdale Pit, and in conjunction therewith, installed a portable rock crusher. From this time until January of 1988, Gallo imported materials for use in its crushing and processing operation.
9. Since 1973, the Forestdale Pit, Tilcon Parcel and respective properties of the Abutters have all been situated in an "R-2" - Low Density Residential Zoning District, as described in Section 2140 of the By-law. Pursuant to the provisions of the By-law in effect as of October 14, 1970 ("1970 By-law") (Exhibit No. 41), however, the Forestdale Pit and Tilcon Parcel were located in a "GU" - General Use Zoning District, as described in Section 2140 of such By-law.
10. Whereas "rock crushing and processing" connotates the process by which earth materials are mechanically broken down to a finer physical composition, the mining and processing of sand and gravel involves the excavation, removal and dry screening of earth. Pursuant to Section 2310 of the By-laws in effect since 1970, the former activity thus constitutes a "manufacturing, processing use" which is prohibited in an "R-2" zoning district (or in the case of the 1970 By-law, in a "GU" zoning district) and the latter activity constitues an "earth removal use" which is, and has been, allowed in such zoning districts by special permit only.
11. On April 14, 1987, the Abutter, Cecil T. Fawkes, filed a complaint with the Building Inspector alleging that Gallo's operation of its rock crushing and processing plant in a residential zone violated the provisions of the By-law. Thereafter, the Building Inspector rendered a determination on the matter as follows:
It is my opinion that, [as] this gravel pit was established when it was allowed by [the By-law], it has become nonconforming . . . [as] I consider the crusher part of the operation of a gravel pit, . . . this was not an alteration, extension or change of a nonconforming use, as described in Section 2420 of the . . .By-law and [therefore] did not require a Special Permit or Variance. . .
On July 15, 1987, the Board affirmed that portion of the Building Inspector's decision allowing Gallo, in the absence of a special permit, to continue crushing and processing materials already existing in the Forestdale Pit.
12. On December 22, 1987, the Board issued a further decision denying Gallo's application for a special permit to import crushing and processing materials to the Forestdale Pit. In so deciding, the Board reasoned that Gallo's importation of materials amounted to a substantial increase in a nonconforming use which would be more detrimental to the residentially zoned neighborhood than the prior, nonconforming use.
13. The By-law provisions governing "non-conforming uses" are as follows:
Section 2400:
Non-Conforming Uses - The use of . . . land lawfully existing at the time of the enactment or subsequent amendment of this by-law may be continued although such . . . use does not conform with provisions of this bylaw, subject to the following conditions and exceptions:
Section 2410:
A non-conforming use of . . . land which has been abandoned for a period [of] two years shall not thereafter be returned to such non-conforming use. A non-conforming use shall be considered abandoned when the premises has been vacant for two years, or when the characteristic equipment . . . of the . . . use have been removed from the premises and have not been replaced by similar equipment, whichever shall first occur.
Section 2420:
ALTERATION, EXTENSION, CHANGE. No change, extension or alteration of a non-conforming use of . . . land may be made except upon the issuance of a special permit for such changes, extensions or alterations. Such a special permit may be granted only if all [of] the following findings are made:
(1) All new parking and new construction are located not closer to side lines and rear lines than twice the setback distance required for conforming structures in the same district.
(2) Only those parcels of land are used as were so employed at the time the use was made nonconforming.
(3) All new parking is substantially screened from abutters and from streets.
(4) Such change, extension or alteration shall not be substantially more detrimental than the existing non-conforming use to the neighborhood.
The duty of the Court in reviewing an appeal brought pursuant to G.L. c. 40A, §17 is to hear the matter de novo, render independent findings of fact and affirm the decision of the Board if it is found to rest on legally tenable grounds and is not unreasonable, whimsical, arbitrary or capricious. MacGibbon v. Board of Appeals of Duxbury, 356 Mass. 635 , 639 (1970); S. Volpe & Co., Inc. v. Board of Appeals of Wareham, 4 Mass. App. Ct. 357 , 359 (1976); Subaru of New England, Inc. v. Board of Appeals of Canton, 8 Mass. App. Ct. 483 , 486 (1979); Garvey v. Board of Appeals of Amherst, 9 Mass. App. Ct. 856 (1980). The Court may not substitute its judgment for that of the Board, Gulf Oil Corp. v. Board of Appeals of Framingham, 355 Mass. 275 , 277-278 (1969); Subaru at 486-488; Garvey at 856, as its review is limited to the validity of the Board's action in granting or denying the special permit. Kiss v. Board of Appeals of Longmeadow, 371 Mass. 147 , 154 (1976); Wolfman v. Board of Appeals of Brookline, 15 Mass. App. Ct. 112 , 119 (1983). Further, where nonconforming uses are at issue, the claimant thereof bears the burden of proving that its present use of the land has not changed from its prior use and that the same has not been abandoned. Town of Bridgewater v. Chuckran, 351 Mass. 20 , 24 (1966); Burlington Sand and Gravel, Inc. v. Town of Harvard, 26 Mass. App. Ct. 436 , 437 (1988). "Abandonment" is established by proof of an intent to abandon the nonconforming use and voluntary conduct sufficient to imply such an intent. Pioneer Insulation Modernizing Corp. v. City of Lynn, 331 Mass. 560 , 565 (1954); Dobbs v. Board of Appeals of Northampton, 339 Mass. 684 , 685-686 (1959); Cape Resort Hotels, Inc. v. Alcohol Licensing Board of Falmouth, 385 Mass. 205 , 220-221 (1982); Bartlett v. Board of Appeals of Lakeville, 23 Mass. App. Ct. 664 , 668 (1987). In the instant proceedings, I find that Gallo's operation of the rock crushing and processing plant began as a valid, nonconforming use at the Forestdale Pit, but was effectively abandoned following a fourteen year hiatus in such use. I thus rule that, in the absence of the Board's issuance o a special permit, such nonconforming use could not have been lawfully resumed, and accordingly, annul that portion of the Board's decision authorizing Gallo's revival of such use. In so holding, I further rule that the Board's decision denying Gallo's application for a special permit to import earth materials to the Forestdale Pit for use in the rock crusher must be affirmed.
It is apparent from the foregoing facts that the Board's decision permitting Gallo's rock crushing and processing operation at the Forestdale Pit, even in the absence of a special permit, is prefaced on the Board's belief that the rock crushing process is one and the same with the mining and processing of sand and gravel. Insofar as the aforementioned facts reveal that the two activities are separate and distinct, the Board's reasoning is misplaced. Accordingly, I find that Gallo's continued mining and processing of sand and gravel from 1973 to 1987 does not preclude a determination that the rock crushing and processing operation was abandoned during this fourteen year span. Moreover, Gallo's actions with respect to such activity during this time clearly rise to a level of abandonment, as set forth in Section 2410 of the By-law. Specifically, the facts noted herein establish that "the characteristic equipment . . . of the . . . use" (i.e., the rock crusher) was voluntarily removed from the Forestdale Pit in 1980 and was not replaced until 1987, a period well in excess of the two year span required to establish abandonment.
In consideration of the foregoing, I rule in summary that the Board exceeded its authority in allowing Gallo to resume its rock crushing and processing operation at the Forestdale Pit after such use had been effectively abandoned by Gallo at least seven years prior thereto, and accordingly, annul its decision dated July 15, 1987. In so ruling, I affirm the Board's decision of December 22, 1987 wherein it properly denied Gallo's application for a special permit to import earth materials to the Forestdale Pit for use in connection with the subject rock crusher.
Judgment accordingly.
[Note 1] Miscellaneous Cases No. 124225 and 126436 were consolidated for trial on February 23, 1988.
[Note 2] On July 14, 1988, Gallo conveyed the Forestdale Pit to P. A. Landers, Inc. (See Exhibit No. 14). Accordingly, on February 27, 1989, Landers was joined as a Plaintiff in these proceedings.
[Note 3] Hewlett Packard Company, Cecil T. Fawkes, Donald E. Shackleton and Priscilla R. Murphy (collectively referred to as Abutters") were allowed to intervene in Miscellaneous Case No. 124225 on July 26, 1987 and in Miscellaneous Case No. 126436 on February 2, 1988.

You love the outdoors, getting lost in nature, hiking through cool mountain mists and stopping at verdant pools. Good news: many of the world's most popular vacation destinations are also perfect places to stop and take a hike.
Even luckier? Some of the top hikes around the world are also some of the best places to which to plan a vacation. With go-today at your side, you can experience some of the most beautiful terrains on Planet Earth. Whether your goal is to bask in the tropic sun or experience cool northern climes, you can find the perfect adventure-friendly vacation destinations here.
Read on for the top five hiking experiences you need to put on your bucket list now, along with information about duration of the hike, total distance, the best time to go and any other details you need to get the most out of these splendid natural areas.
1. The High Fens Natural Reserve
Location: Belgium
Distance: Varies
Time: Varies
Best time to go: Summer
Belgium is beautiful, cultured, foodie-tastic and rich with history. One of our favorite outdoor destinations is the High Fens Natural Reserve, the largest natural reserve in the country. It is located in the hills, nested between the Ardennes and Eifel highlands. The terrain varies from paved areas to wooden bridges to rugged wild trails. Elevation changes transport you through forests and to the top of vistas, where you can view the sweeping hills as they roll into the distance. You can choose to do an out and back for a few hours or can take one of the loops that wind through the area and constitute entire day hikes (with castle viewing and places to stop for lunch along the way).
NOTE: The highlands tend to be cold and misty. Pack your rain gear and warm jackets.
2. The Otter Trail
Location: Tsitsikamma National Park, South Africa
Distance: Approximately 28 miles
Time: 5 days total
Best time to go: Between April and October
South Africa is a cultural haven. While influenced by the Dutch, who left a mixed mark on the country, it is a wonderful country to visit in order to take in some of the most beautiful outdoor areas characteristic of this continent, which is mysterious to many. The Otter Trail is one of the best ways for nature lovers to experience this beauty up close, a five-day trail that includes overnight stays with delicious meals along the way.
Because it is a difficult hike, age restrictions dictate that you must be between 12 and 65 years. Be sure to bring lots of food, water and layers to account for cool mornings and hot days. Coming in spring or summer will ensure you can enjoy the beautiful wildflowers that bloom along the way and it will be hot enough to enjoy the many river dips you will encounter on the trail.
3. The Inter Village Trek
Location: Munduk, Bali
Distance: Approximately 9 miles
Time: 5-7 hours
Best time to go: Between April and October
A land of mysterious culture, age-old myth, beautiful ruins and the terraced rice paddies: Bali. If you enjoy hiking in tropical climes, this is the perfect destination for you. Munduk is not a single trail, but an area that contains about a dozen trails, all of which are perfect for a day hike. One of the most beautiful and culturally rich, however, is the Inter Village Trek. It takes you past multiple Balinese villages, viewing the biggest Banyan tree in Bali and gorgeous spreading rice terraces along the way.
When you come, bring shorts and tees to hike in as well as sunblock and bug spray. While you may not always need the latter, some parts of the jungle do get quite thick with bugs. While Bali is gorgeous all year, the best times to visit are between April and October, which is less likely to be rainy.
4. Xemxija Heritage Trail
Location: Xemxija, Malta
Distance: Approximately 6 miles
Time: 3-4 hours
Best time to go: Spring and fall
The Romans are practically synonymous with building roads. Their empire-united skills didn't stop at the mainland, either. Malta, one of the Mediterranean's jewel-like islands, is no exception. The Roman Road, also known as the Xemxija Heritage Trail, stretches from Xemxija to Qawra/Bugibba and displays a still-functional road scattered with ruins, small homes built into hillsides and tombs. Throughout you'll view glimpses of the sea and bay, scrubby hillsides lush with sweet-smelling herbs and burbling brooks.
The Mediterranean Sea is beautiful at almost any time of year. However, winter isn't the ideal time for this hike. Visit during the spring or fall when the weather will be warm and inviting. Always bring layers in preparation for cool mornings and evenings, but plan for hot weather even as the seasons turn.
5. Pigeon and Love Trails
Location: Cappadocia, Turkey
Distance: Approximately 10.5 miles
Time: 3.5–5 hours
Best time to go: Spring and fall
Another of the world's natural wonders, Cappadocia is notable for its strange and towering mushroom formations. Soft volcanic rocks that eroded away formed and left stems that now support point caps. Trails wind throughout the area, giving you spectacular views of both the odd formations as well as entire cities built into rocks … now ruins. Be sure to learn about the cultural history of the area; as one of the earliest sites where Christianity took root, it has a storied past. The Pigeon & Love trails are two spectacular options, winding through some of the most impressive formations.
Turkey is another beautiful Mediterranean destination, but that means its climate does vary quite a bit. The best time to visit is in spring and fall, when skies are clear and the weather isn't too hot or too snowy. Assuming you visit during warmer times of year, bring hot-weather clothes and be sure to take lots of water with you when you hit the trail.
No matter where you are going in the world, you can always find a good place to lace up those hiking boots and hit the trail with water, map and camera in hand. However, there is no guarantee that you'll be able to get there affordably. That's why traveling with go-today is such a smart move. Get in touch with us today to learn more about your hike, your trip and your horizon-broadening experience.

China has a new star – or, to be more accurate, it has an old star cast in a new role.
Peng Liyuan joined the People's Liberation Army (PLA) at age 18 and went on to become a popular soprano, known for her folk songs and operas celebrating the bravery of Chinese soldiers. She holds an honorary rank of major-general but her fame is hardly limited to China. In 2005 she performed at the Lincoln Center in New York; two years later she appeared at the Vienna State Opera House. In 2011 the World Health Organization named Peng their Goodwill Ambassador for Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.
Now Peng Liyuan is better known as China's First Lady – the wife of newly appointed Chinese President Xi Jinping. There are many noteworthy aspects to Peng's newfound status. I shall focus on only one: her sense of fashion. As the New York Times puts it, some view the First Lady as 'roughly equivalent to Michelle Obama: modern, outgoing, intrigued by fashion'. Other media outlets referred to her as 'China's Kate Middleton'.
Certainly reaction within China has confirmed this. The outfits and accessories (e.g. handbags, peep toe court shoes, scarfs, trench coats) that Peng wore during her state visits have become highly sought after items. According to Xinhua News Agency, the First Lady's appearance sparked a notable rise in the clothing and textile sector of China's stock market, bucking an overall downward trend. Beyond her own apparel, Peng also promoted Chinese brands by presenting her foreign counterparts with skincare products made by Pehchaolin, a Shanghai based company.
One label whose stock certainly rose is Ma Ke, one of Peng's favourites. Trained at Central Saint Martins in London, Ma is now based in Guangdong province. Her line is known for its simple, minimalistic style, weaving fabric with Chinese loom technology dating back to the 19th century. In contrast to usual haute couture, her fashion shows are open to the public and held outside, using modern dancers and tai-chi performers instead of models. Ma says she wants the label to redefine the meaning of luxury away from Western materialism.
Why are Peng's fashion choices politically significant? First, they underscore one of her husband's leading policy initiatives: the need to curb corruption. Giving foreign luxury items to government officials is a normal part of doing business in China. But aware of the danger corruption poses to the future of the Party, Xi has vowed to crackdown on these practices. Peng's choice of less glitzy domestic brands can be seen as part of this campaign. It is no accident that Chinese netizens have praised her understated style.
Second, Peng's attire plays well to another of her husband's goals: the promotion of Chinese national identity. In a move widely perceived to go beyond the empty ideological slogans of his predecessors, Xi has not been shy in promoting nationalism as a force for social cohesion. He often talks of national 'rejuvenation' and the 'revival of the Chinese nation'. Whilst this may be a risky strategy internationally, at home it plays well – as does the First Lady's fashion sense. What nationalist can complain about Peng the way they do about other famous Chinese women who cover themselves in foreign designer brands?
Third, and perhaps most important, Peng's choice of labels gives life to China's efforts to move from a manufacturing economy with cost as its greatest competitive advantage to a creative economy with innovation as its main source of competitiveness. Tired of being the world's factory, Beijing's new motto is not 'Made in China' but rather 'Created in China'. Coupled with this goal is the attempt to promote greater domestic consumption to help ease a reduction in demand from traditional export markets. Again, Peng has played beautifully to these wider initiatives. As a number of Chinese intellectuals have noted, who better to represent the nation's best brands and mentor China's fledging fashion and creative industries than an iconic singer, PLA hero, and now First Lady?
All this shows that in the end, Peng's greatest strength may not be – as some have suggested – her ability to soften China's international image. In fact, her reception abroad has already been blighted by the appearance of a photo showing her singing to PLA martial law troops following the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown. Ultimately, her soft power importance may lie more within China than it does overseas. Last year on e-IR I blogged about how Chinese soft power must be understood in light of China's domestic politics as much as its international standing. The case of Peng Liuyan shows that this remains as true as ever.

Over the weekend, the Hyères International Festival of Fashion and Photography returned for its 33rd edition, in the coastal town of Hyères, South of France. The competition, which has nurtured bright young talents in fashion since 1986, culminated in a five-day finale event, featuring exhibitions, catwalk shows, workshops and award ceremonies.
In 1997, it extended the competition to include emerging photographers, and this year for the second time, young accessories designers were given the opportunity to participate for a prize.
Set within the breathtaking grounds of Villa Noailles, built by architect Robert Mallet-Stevens in 1923, the festival offers valuable exposure and opportunities to emerging talents via financial support, mentorship programs, media visibility, and a network of valuable contacts.
The competition received 300 entries from over 60 countries resulting in ten shortlisted fashion designers, ten shortlisted accessories designers, and ten shortlisted photographers all competing for a series of prizes. The winners were selected on Sunday 29th by a jury of industry experts in their respected fields.
The festival celebrates a continued partnership of 20 years with the House of Berluti, as well as partnerships with global textile trade show Première Vision, Swarovski, Chloé, and Galeries Lafayette amongst others.
Première Vision Grand Prize
The grand prize for fashion sponsored by Première Vision was awarded to Dutch label Botter for their 'Fish or Fight' menswear collection. Helmed by design couple Rushemy Botter and Lisi Herrebrugh, the label offers a playful aesthetic infused with a Caribbean flavour. Balancing classic staples and deconstructed silhouettes, colour, texture and unexpected detail are the label's core DNA.
Born in Curaçao, Botter spent a large part of his life in Amsterdam. He launched his eponymous label in 2017 alongside Herreburgh, for his Master's collection at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp.
Half Dominican, half Dutch, Lisi Herrebrugh grew up travelling between the two countries. She studied at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute and honed her technical skills by working for Viktor & Rolf.
The grand prize jury panel included fashion designers Haider Ackermann and Delfina Delettrez alongside co-founder of Dazed Media Jefferson Hack, renowned actress Tilda Swinton and Vanessa Schindler, winner of the 2017 Première Vision Grand Prize.
Botter will receive a grant of €15,000 euros from Première Vision and the opportunity to take part in Chanel's Métiers d'Art – a project which honours fine craftsmanship – worth up to €15,000. In addition, Botter will receive a grant of €10,000 from the label Petit Bateau, along with the chance to create an exclusive collection for the brand.
Fashion Accessories Grand Prize
The grand prize for fashion accessories, sponsored by Swarovski, was awarded to a trio of innovators: designers Flora Fixy and Julia Dessirier, and the photographer Kate Fichard, for their 'Hearring' collection, that transforms functional hearing aids into sleek, sculpted jewellery pieces.
Created by Fichard and designed by Fixy and Dessirier, of Parisian-based mixed media design studio F and D Studio, the collection aims to challenge perceptions of disability via provocative designs. They receive a grant of €15,000 from Swarovski, as well as, the opportunity to undertake a project with Chanel's Métiers d'Art worth up to €15,000.
Christelle Kocher, artistic director of Maison Lemarié and founder of her eponymous label Koché Paris was president of the accessories jury panel. Hirofumi Kurino, co-founder of Japanese retailer United Arrows was also a judge, alongside designer Floriana Gavriel, founder of cult accessories label Mansur Gavriel.
Chloé Prize
Montreal-born Marie-Eve Lecavalier received a special mention from the jury, landing her the Chloé Prize for fashion worth 15,000 euros. Currently undertaking a placement at Raf Simons in Antwerp, her experimental modern aesthetic and psychedelic references offer a refreshing point of difference.

Ziggy Marley nabbed a GRAMMY win before the show even started, earning his second career solo Best Reggae Album award for Ziggy Marley In Concert.
The Jamaican musician, whose legendary father shockingly went GRAMMY-less during his career, tells Fuse News anchor Jack Osbourne that he believes the award show now recognizes a wider range of genres.
"I remember rap wasn't in the main show, I remember that distinctively," Marley explains, noting that the genre only recently began receiving more appreciation. "As we progress, the GRAMMYs are progressing also."
He also reveals that he loves witnessing everyone come together "as a community of musicians and artists," even if it's just for one evening. "I think it's cool that we can get together in one place because usually we don't; everybody's on their own little thing, you know? Coming together is good, and adding music to that makes it even better."
Check out the full interview above, and make sure to visit Fuse.tv/Grammys for more red carpet coverage.

I am always amazed at how little most of us know about the First Peoples to populate the Americas. Perhaps it's that we have a hard time with the slaughter, the diseases, the herding into reservations – the genocide. But here in Southern Arizona we live right next door to the third-largest Indian reservation, some 4500 square miles over three counties, with several small adjuncts plus nine communities in Sonora, Mexico.
The Tohono O'odham Nation, the Desert People, believe themselves – with plenty of evidence – to be descendants of the ancient Huhugam (which archaeologists rewrote into Hohokam) whose presence here goes back some 10,000 years. The Huhugam built hundreds of miles of canals along with hillside terraces for farming throughout Southern Arizona. Villages along the Santa Cruz River were spaced 1-1/2 – 2 miles apart on alternating sides of the channel. That tells us there was administration and politics, that their society was much more complex than is commonly believed. Prolonged drought changed their society; huhugam means "all used up."
It is probable, and their oral histories tell us, that the Huhugam came from the South, from what is now the southern part of Mexico and Central America known as Mesoamerica. They brought Mesoamerican ball courts and platform mounds and macaws with them. That fits with Hopi oral histories which talk about the melting of the glaciers after the ice age and getting into boats to cross the Pacific. The oldest known Americas habitation site is in Monte Verde, Chile, and mainstream archaeologists are finally acknowledging that there was boat travel. Although some may still believe that the Aborigines swam to Australia.
With funds raised from their successful casino operations, which some call the Indians' Revenge, the Tohono O'odham built the Himdag Ki: Cultural Center and Museum, open to the public with sacred Baboquivari Peak overlooking it. Open Monday – Saturday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. with free admission, the Himdag Ki features examples of O'odam basketry, painting, photographs, and other art. There is a history of the Desert People, a Youth Council display, a library, and a tribute to O'odham veterans of America's wars. There is also a gift shop with baskets, jewelry, books, tee shirts and desert food goodies for sale.
Built with native rock and wood, the mission of the museum is to promote knowledge and understanding of the O'odham and to keep their culture alive for younger generations. That culture includes sharing, helping neighbors and family, community participation, hard work, humility, self-respect, respect for others, respect for elders, and respect for the land – values which our larger world could well learn from.
To visit the Himdag Ki take highway 86, Ajo Road, west to Sells. At the sign for the Police Department and Business District turn south, curving west and intersecting with BIA Route 19. Turn south on 19 about nine miles to Topowa. At Fresnal Canyon Road turn east to the Himdag Ki. If traveling on a holiday, call ahead for possible closures, 520-383-0201. And if you are hungry and thirsty after your visit, try the café in Sells. If you're lucky, they'll have fresh fry bread.
The Man in the Maze is a common theme in O'odham basketry. I'itoi, Elder Brother, lives in a sacred cave on Baboquivari from where he led the Huhugam out of the Underworld. The maze now represents life, with all its twists and turns and dead ends and surprises, though which we all must pass.

And if you are interested in learning more about the people who first populated the Americas and the Southwest, and about Indian life on the Rez, there are some really good books available through the Pima County Library system.
BIG PICTURE – THE AMERICAS: 1491, by Charles C. Mann (Vintage Books, 2005): This eminently readable book makes a strong case that the "New World," before Columbus, had tens of millions of people and was "a thriving, stunningly diverse place. A tumult of languages, trade and culture, a region where tens of millions of people loved and hated and worshipped as people do everywhere." Recent discoveries in Guatemala confirm Mann's findings that population density was far higher than acknowledged, perhaps over 100 million. That would mean that "more people lived in the Americas than in Europe" with European diseases and armed conquest killing over 90 percent after colonization.
BIG PICTURE – FROM THE INDIAN'S POINT-OF-VIEW: An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States, by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz (Beacon Press, 2014): "In the founding myth of the United States, the colonists acquired a vast expanse of land from a scattering of benighted peoples who were hardly using it…The historical record is clear, however, that European colonists shoved aside a large network of small and large nations whose governments, commerce, arts and sciences, agriculture, technologies, theologies, philosophies, and institutions were intricately developed, nations that maintained sophisticated relations with one another and with the environments that supported them…Native peoples had created town sites, farms, monumental earthworks, and networks of roads, and they had devised a wide variety of governments, some as complex as any in the world." "The history of the United States," Dunbar-Ortiz argues in her American Book Award-winning book, "is a history of settler colonialism – the founding of a state based on the ideology of white supremacy, the widespread practice of African slavery, and a policy of genocide and land theft."
BIG PICTURE — SOUTHWEST: A History of the Ancient Southwest, by Stephen H. Lekson (School for Advanced Research Press, 2008): This book tells the story of Southwest archaeology and makes a strong case that the Southwest was populated first from the south, creating complex, state-level societies that mainstream archaeology has tried to deny. Lekson urges us to move past colonial biases and accept that "Native histories of what later became the United States and Mexico were intertwined." To understand these far-flung and complex societies, he offers three rules: "1) Everyone knew everything; assume interconnection… 2) No coincidences; interregional coincidences were (mostly) not coincidental. 3) Distances can be dealt with; distance did not intimidate the ancients; distances should not intimidate us."
LIFE AND DEATH ON A RICH REZ: Killers of the Flower Moon: the Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI, by David Grann (Doubleday, 2017): U.S. policy forced Osage Indian tribes off reservations in Kansas in the 1870s, consigning them to rocky, worthless land in Oklahoma. It was not yet known that the land sat on the largest oil reserves in the nation. Over 25 years in the early 20th Century some 600 Osage Indians were murdered for the oil rights that enriched them and their community. Federally-appointed "guardians" ripped off their charges and greedy men and women sought marriage with the Osage, some murdering their spouses and children to gain control over the oil. "This so-called Indian business…was an elaborate criminal operation, in which various sectors of society were complicit. The crooked guardians and administrators of Osage estates were typically among the most prominent white citizens; businessmen and ranchers and lawyers and politicians. So were the lawmen and prosecutors and judges who facilitated and concealed the swindling…."
LIFE ON A POOR REZ: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, by Sherman Alexie (Little. Brown, 2007). Written as a novel for young people, the Spokane Indian writer's words resonate with all ages as he describes the life of a reservation teenager living "approximately one million miles north of Important and two billion miles west of Happy." Alexie writes with joy and love and humor and sadness, not glossing over problems like alcoholism and unemployment and poverty, but seeing them through a kid's eyes, sometimes with hope, and sometimes not. Indians, as we see, grapple with the same challenges as the rest of us.
LIFE IN THE NATION NEXT DOOR: Desert Indian Woman: stories and dreams, by Frances Manuel and Deborah Neff (University of Arizona Press, 2001): The Tohono O'odham storyteller and weaver's words were spoken, captured on tape, and written down with little editing. She tells of her life on the Rez, on the border with Mexico and in town, and the changes she has seen. "There are a lot of things we Indians don't know about. We were just desert people, we didn't know anything about money. We worked together, built houses together, planted together, talked together. If there was a problem we'd sit down and talk about it. When the Spaniards came and taught us about the days of the month and the days of the week, and the dollar sign – time, that's when everything changed….
"Maybe things have changed because people have been bothering the moon….things happen now…the summer doesn't come when it's supposed to, the spring doesn't come when it's supposed to, winter doesn't come when it's supposed to. We don't have that much rain…it rains here and it rains over there because the world and the sky and everything up there has been bothered. It's the old thing – if you bother them too much the world's gonna end."
Isn't it time to meet your neighbors? We can learn a lot from them because they've been here far longer than we have. Skehg tash! (Greeting, pronounced "skuk tarsh.")
POSTSCRIPT: This will be my final Comments from the Chemo Couch column. While the multiple myeloma is stable with a chemo-for-life regimen, the cancer sucks the calcium out of my bones and ribs are cracking. I'm staying off pain killers and doing less. I want to thank Loretta and John Hunnicutt for the opportunity to write for ADI; I was never censored and am grateful for their support. For those who supported my sometimes contentious points-of-view in the Comments, thank you. For those who at least considered what I had to say, whether agreeing or not, thank you. That's what dialogue and the exchange of ideas is all about. For that handful of cowards using their anonymity to lie, label and name-call, well, a new generation is rising and you, and I, are old news. I'm going to shut up. I suggest you do the same.

Jimi Hendrix is one of my all time favorite guitar players; He not only played the guitar up side down, he also made up a new style with weird sounds at the same time. He changed the rock-n-roll scene in so many ways that I feel that many guitar players are still trying to catch up till this day.
