Announcing the Green Travel List
Press Release: 25 February 2010
Announcing the publication of the Green Travel List
From log cabins to boutique hotels, surfing to snowshoeing, desert lodges to jungle treks… 75 ways to tread lightly
Travel website, greentraveller.co.uk, based at the Hub, Islington, has compiled a list of the top 75 green travel and tourism companies, which was published in the Guardian newspaper today, Saturday 20 February.
The inaugural Green Travel List is a definitive guide to the most outstanding green travel companies across ten categories, which included Small Hotels, Large Hotels, Summer Activities, Winter Activities, Wildlife Watching and Community Projects.
A panel of travel and tourism experts, chaired by Graham Miller, Director of International Studies at the University of Surrey,decided which companies should appear on the list.
Among the panel were Tim Smit, Chief Executive and co-founder of The Eden Project, Alastair Sawday, founder of Sawday's Special Places to Stay guidebooks, and Miranda Krestovnikoff, television presenter and wildlife expert for BBC's The One show.
The list was supported by the sustainable development organisation Forum for the Future.
Among those companies included on the list were a kayaking company in Jersey, a mountain-biking centre in North Wales, a luxury chalet in the Alps, an environmental education centre on Ibiza, and a pioneering community-based tourism enterprise in Ethiopia.
Richard Hammond, founder of greentraveller.co.uk, said: "The aim of the Green Travel List is to help travellers find a greener holiday. It does not single out individual winners; instead the idea is to provide a comprehensive list of a wide range of travel and tourism companies who have convinced us that sustainability is at the heart of their business."
The Green Travel List was published in the Guardian newspaper on 20 February with an introduction by John Vidal, the Guardian's Environment Editor.
The full list of winners is published online at: http://www.greentraveller.co.uk/content/green-travel-list-full-0
About the Green Travel ListMore than 200 travel and tourism companies were asked to complete an online questionnaire, which asked for specific information about any actions that have been taken to reduce carbon impact as well as other aspects of sustainability, such as water preservation, waste management and biodiversity conservation.
A panel of travel and tourism experts, chaired by Dr Graham Miller, Director of International Studies at the University of Surrey, read the completed questionnaires and decided on the final list. The aim was to identify companies that have introduced significant changes to their business, the products they offer and the way they perform. Any measures that are highly replicable and scalable weighed in their favour, particularly where a transparent degree of monitoring was demonstrated.

A little guide to Costa Rica for families with kids
We had 3 wonderful weeks in Costa Rica with our kids in August 2017. It was really hot and yet, we enjoyed it a lot. We did have some problems with FedEx, the internet, and car rental, but other than that, it was beautiful. Below is our guide.
The best of Costa Rica for families with kids
We had a week in Manuel Antonio, where we visited the National Park and saw sloths, monkeys, and many lizards and beautiful insects. We have a complete post about Manuel Antonio here! We loved it, the park is definitely a must for animal lovers. Another great thing there is the food – awesome food everywhere!
Then we had a week in Punta Uva, where we found the best beach in the world and caught a sloth crossing the road. We loved it a lot and it was one of the best places for us to see wildlife. We did rent an Airbnb in the middle of the bush, though, so that was the reason for it.
(If you're new to Airbnb, click here to receive a discount on your first booking – and we receive one too, without any additional cost to you!)
Our week in San Jose was for rest, mostly due to the rain. It seriously rained while we were there, and some heavy rain that prevented us from going out and exploring. But it was still fun. San Jose was renamed by us as the capital of international food. Oh, we ate a lot there.
What not to miss in Costa Rica
– Don't miss the wildlife! It's just everywhere and it's an incredible opportunity for learning and seeing the real stuff. It's very unlike zoos and rescue centers! It's also not guaranteed. You may or may not see what you want to, but it's all part of the deal.
– The beaches! Most beaches are great there, the waters are warm and yes, you need to be careful with the RIP currents, but it's still delightful! Our favorite beach is in Punta Uva, though. We found the Caribbean beach there to be just perfect.
– The great food, because it's really great. It's expensive, though. Very expensive.
– The forest meets the sea setting! It's pretty, and it's amazing, and it's different!
– Zip lining! It was one of my family's favorite activity ever and they still ask for it. They are very safe and they're great fun!
Tips for families going to Costa Rica
– It's a country for tourists, so everything is very expensive. Everything. It was the most expensive country we've ever been to so far – it tops Uruguay and Canada.
– It's hot, very hot. Luckily, there are beaches – good ones.
– Bring along some mosquito repellent. You won't need it all the way, but in some places, they're essential.
– Britt's known for its coffee, but the chocolate, my friends… The chocolate is divine.
– Although coffee is offered everywhere, tea isn't. Every place we stayed had free coffee, but not tea. Wonder why.
– We had a lot of problems with our credit card there. None of them worked in a lot of the machines. My tip here is always bringing some cash, at least enough to pay for a meal.
– Try the local fruits! We'd never seen mamones injertados, and we tried it there. It was good, tasted somewhat like grape or lichees. It wasn't expensive.
– Be ready to haggle, more so if you're doing something expensive, like zip lining, kayaking, or any tours.
– The internet is often not the best.
– SHOWERS ARE COLD. In some places, very few of them, the water can be hot. In most cases, the shower is cold. It may not be a problem because it's a hot country, but for hot shower loving people like myself, it's bad enough. Taking showers on the afternoons often worked out best.
– Be alert! If you hear a rustling in the trees when it's not windy, or if you hear splashing on the water when it's only you swimming, there may be something there. We loved looking out for monkeys and fishes! They rarely disappointed us! And also be aware because, you know, there may be poisonous stuff, or stingrays, or something that can hurt.
– If you're driving, be always aware: people don't care about rules or kindness while driving. Seriously. Plus there are holes (including open potholes) that can be dangerous.
Renting a car and driving in Costa Rica
Some of the benefits of having your own wheels are obvious: you can dictate the course of your day, your week or your whole trip, and not be confined to shuttle or bus schedules. Having a car will allow you to explore lesser-visited places that many tourists miss and will give you the freedom to change your plans if something comes up. And who doesn't like controlling the radio on a road trip?
However, driving in Costa Rica is no piece of cake. The roads can be long, curvy and in poor shape. Traffic can be bad in cities or on mountainous roads, and signs are sometimes non-existent. It can be easy to get lost (especially if you don't have GPS) and is tough to get back on track if you aren't comfortable handling directions from a local. There are other things to consider as well, including traffic laws, the price of gasoline, and driving time.
We've rented a car, even if it was not recommended for first-time visitors to Costa Rica due to the hassle and potential confusion is usually not worth the effort. However, travelers that are adventurous enough or have been to the country before may want to consider renting a car.
Costa Rica is a tough place to drive in during the day. At night, it's even worse. Road signs (which are already shoddy in some places) can be difficult to see in the dark. It's common to pass by the road or hotel you were looking for several times. Roads may also have poor reflectors between the lanes or line the side of the road, and very often have little room to pass. People sometimes walk near the edge as well, which means you'll need to exercise even more caution while driving at night.
Although Costa Rica is relatively small, the driving time between destinations can be long. Again, this is largely a result of the country's poor road system. With this in mind, it's advisable to plan on trips taking longer than you may have expected. As a general rule, expect to travel at a rate of 50 km/h, sometimes on mountainous roads will be less due to a number of heavy trucks.
What type of car to rent
The type of car you choose depends on what you plan to do during your trip. If you're going to be driving in the mountains, along rural roads, or in certain coastal areas, you will want a 4WD vehicle. But, if your plans are to stay along fairly well-traveled routes, a compact or full-size car will be fine. Main cities and locations are good to go with any car, so it is up to you.
Together with your rental, some must have articles: GPS, Waze or any navigation system you prefer. Find places in Costa Rica are very hard, especially if you are told a location like "300 meters west from a park". There is no way to search that in a GPS. Most of the attractions, famous places or points of interest are loaded in the GPS or Waze, so use it. Some places even give you the geolocation, so you can just enter it in your device.
Rental negotiation, Contract, Conditions and Companies
Rent a car in Costa Rica is cheap, but you are mandatory to choose a coverage, which brings the price up. Companies will try their best to sell you a full coverage. It brings the liability to almost zero, but you pay 3 or 4 times more than the original quoted price. If you don't mind to have a hold on your card, you can go for the basics and have a $2000-$2500 held on your card until car returns. But remember, the held amount won't be available straight away, will take a week to be released.
If you don't have a booking or don't need a big car like us, you will be fine to rent directly at the counter at the airport. There are plenty of companies to rent from, for all kind of tastes, just chose wisely. As previously said, prices can vary a lot. Big brands charge more, but you'll probably have none or fewer issues. Smaller or local companies are better priced, it helps locals but will have limited availability of models and dates.
We've chosen a middle US company, Fox Rent a Car, first and last time to rent from them. Booking was confirmed but when we arrived at San Jose airport, the car was not available and we had to find another company on the spot.
Here is the tricky part, if you are comfortable negotiating, under pressure and tired from your trip, that's your chance to find a good deal, probably not good as the original booking you have, but you can, at least, reduce the price you have to pay. There will be many rental operators trying to convince you to rent from them. It is more like a rental mafia. At this stage, pretty most all companies will try to charge you same rate and full insurance. Tell them your price, try your best price, including coverage, so they know what to offer. Don't worry, they speak English, so negotiation will be ok. Also, they are employed by none of the companies, they work on commissions, so put aside the tip for the guys helping you! If you know a bit of Spanish, it helps a lot. But if you don't want to negotiate, you can go to big companies front-0desk and rent directly in there. Pay extra and have no headaches.
Renting a car in Costa Rica has the potential to create a unique trip for travelers. You can seek out little-known places, stop when you want, and craft your own adventure from scratch. However, driving in Costa Rica is serious. Road conditions can be difficult and driving times can be long. Before getting behind the wheel, think about what it requires and how you want your trip to unfold. Your experience in Costa Rica will be fantastic no matter what direction you steer your adventure.
Overall, a review of Costa Rica for families
It's a beautiful and family-friendly place BUT it's super expensive. For big families, this is a huge minus.
We found it to be safe – we had no trouble with anything, not even leaving stuff unattended at the beach. We even went to lunch with the car packed with all our stuff. No problem at all.
But, you don't need to be us. You can be aware of things without going paranoid – if going for a swim, you can always ask one fellow tourist to watch your stuff, you can just take nothing at all, enjoy your swim and go back to the hotel. We've seen people using this fabric bracelet thing with the cash and passport copies inside a ziplock bag, but we've never really bothered. When we go, we take everything we need (towels, a bit of cash, scarf (we use ours as a mat at the beach) inside a supermarket plastic bag. People rarely take a second glance at our stuff. Plus, we don't wear anything flashy, we're low budget when it comes to clothing items too.
If you take all things into consideration, I'm not really sure we'd go back. It was amazing, but it was way too expensive for us.
Have you ever been to Costa Rica? Did you, like us, think it was too expensive? Comment below!

Osteoporosis and compression fractures causing back pain
This article is by our Islington chiropractic practitioner from the Angel Chiropractic Clinic and looks at the causes of the sudden onset of back pain.
• Osteoporosis
• Symptoms of osteoporosis fracture
• What happens when osteoporosis causes back pain
Frequency of osteoporosis causing back pain
The sudden onset of back pain in anyone over 50 a compression fracture has to be ruled out. Experts recommend that women over 45 with sudden onset of low back pain and a history or a susceptibility to osteoporosis should be investigated for a vertebral compression fracture. Women are four times more likely to have back pain form osteoporosis than men. In the UK, one in two women and one in five men over the age of 50 will fracture a bone due to osteoporosis.
Symptoms of osteoporotic fracture causing back pain
Back pain may or may not be a symptom so there may be other symptoms, such as loss of height, difficulty in movement such as twisting and bending forwards and backwards. There may or may not be associated spinal deformity.
• Loss of vertebral height
• Backpain
• Spinal deformity
• Pain on twisting and bending forwards and backwards
Commonly the back pain associated with a vertebral compression fracture occurs during a routine activity such as bending or lifting but in extreme cases the back pain can occur following sneezing or a minor stumble or trip.
What happens when osteoporosis causes back pain
In an osteoporosis compression fracture there is a decrease in the density of the bone in the vertebra and this leads to a collapse to the front part of the vertebral body producing a wedged shape vertebra. Due to the collapse of the front of the vertebra there is rarely any neurological involvement and this differentiates it from a vertebral collapse due resulting from a pathological fracture.
These fractures can lead to a decrease of up to 20% in this anterior vertebral body height osteoporotic fracture of the thoracic spineand this is most common in the thoracic area of the back and may lead to an increase in the thoracic kyphosis and the development of a 'dowagers hump'. These fractures are easy to pick up on x-ray and do not require any more specialist imaging technique.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is a pain medicine. Acetaminophen overdose occurs when someone accidentally or intentionally takes more than the normal or recommended amount of this medication.
Acetaminophen overdose is one of the most common poisonings worldwide. People often think that this medicine is very safe. However, it may be deadly if taken in large doses.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or 1-800-222-1222 for a local poison control center near you.
Alternative Names
Tylenol overdose; Paracetamol overdose
Where Found
Acetaminophen is found in a variety of over-the-counter and prescription pain relievers.
Tylenol is a brand name for acetaminophen. Other medicines that contain acatominophen include:
- Liquiprin
- Panadol
- Percocet
- Tempra
- Various cold and flu medicines
Note: This list is not all inclusive.
Common dosage forms and strengths:
- Suppository: 120 mg*, 125 mg, 325 mg, 650 mg
- Chewable tablets: 80 mg
- Junior tablets: 160 mg
- Regular strength: 325 mg
- Extra strength: 500 mg
- Liquid: 160 mg/teaspoon
- Drops: 100 mg/mL, 120 mg/2.5 mL
*mg = milligrams
You should not take more than 4000 mg of acetaminophen a day. Taking more, especially 7000 mg or more, can lead to a severe overdose if not treated.

Coma Convulsions Diarrhea
- Irritability
- Jaundice
Nausea Sweating Upset stomach
- Vomiting

Home Treatment
There is no home treatment. Seek immediate medical help.
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- Patient's age, weight, and condition
- Name of the product (ingredients and strengths, if known)
- Time it was swallowed
- Amount swallowed
Poison Control, or a local emergency number
In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.This is a free and confidential service.
All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What to expect at the emergency room
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Blood tests will be done to check how much acetaminophen is in the blood. The patient may receive:
- Medicines to treat symptoms
- Activated charcoal
- Laxative
- Medicine (antidote) to reverse the effect of the poison
Expectations (prognosis)
If treatment is received within 8 hours of the overdose, there is a very good chance of recovery.
However, without rapid treatment, a very large overdose of acetaminophen can lead to liver failure and death in a few days.

''Real-time enterprise'' (RTE) may sound like another buzzword, but according
to Thomas Siebel, chairman and CEO at Siebel Systems (http://www.siebel.com), the notion that
companies must integrate their IT infrastructures so thoroughly that management
has instant, accurate, up-to-the-second information at its fingertips anytime,
anywhere, is really a model of corporate survival.
''The number one problem facing every organization today is application
integration,'' Siebel said during his keynote address at last week's Creating the
Real-Time Enterprise conference in San Francisco. ''In two or three years, this
is all we'll be talking about.''
Siebel said companies will spend billions in pursuit of the elusive RTE,
which will blur the distinctions between CRM, ERP and supply-chain systems. The
San Mateo, Calif.-based CRM systems maker is one of several CRM vendors jumping
on the RTE bandwagon. PeopleSoft, for example, recently began running ads
claiming that it is leading the charge into the real-time enterprise.
RTE is more of a concept than a specific technology or strategy. In a
real-time enterprise, all company departments, customers, suppliers and partners
are electronically connected via internal and Internet applications. This kind
of cross application integration allows a company's IT systems to function like
a 24-hour nerve center, instantly alerting managers to changes in customer
demand, competitive situations, inventory, availability of supplies and
Call it business in an instant.
And it's not exactly a new idea. The basic concept is that what you don't
know in business can and will hurt you. But this conference underscored a new
urgency in informing people about the pursuit of real-time information for
critical business processes. Conference sponsors call RTE ''the new business
model for the next decade ... a fundamental paradigm shift in the way companies
conduct business.''
Gartner (http://www.gartner.com)
analysts have long pushed the need for real-time capabilities in corporate IT
organizations. In November, speaking at the annual Gartner Symposium/ITxpo in
Cannes, France, Gartner declared that only organizations that can confidently
call themselves ''real-time enterprises'' will thrive in the coming
service-oriented economy. (Gartner calls it the ''now economy'' -- the successor
to the old New Economy.) And they expect companies to begin moving toward an RTE
orientation fairly quickly, with more than 20% of global enterprise CIOs citing
RTE as one of their top five investment areas by the end of 2003.
Siebel said he believes the RTE can be a realistic goal of IT because of
several ''RTE enablers,'' including the emergence of standards associated with
business process software, such as the Universal Application Network (UAN), and
Web services. Siebel characterized the UAN as ''the industry's first
standards-based, vendor-independent application integration solution.''

A joint paper written by researchers of Politecnico di Milano and Ecole des Mines de Nantes has been accepted at the MobiWIS conference, to be held in September 2014 in Barcelona, Spain.
The conference comprises a set of carefully selected tracks that focus on the particular challenges regarding mobile Web and innovative information systems in research areas such as, among others, Web Engineering, Service-Oriented Computing, Web of Things, Data and Knowledge Management, Cloud Computing, Security and Human-Computer Interaction.
The contribution of the AutoMobile paper proposes a model-driven approach to mobile application development based on the IFML standard. We propose an extension of the OMG's Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) tailored to mobile applications and we describe our implementation experience that comprises the development of automatic code generators for cross-platform mobile applications based on HTML5, CSS and JavaScript optimized for the Apache Cordova framework. We show the approach at work on a popular mobile application, we report on the application of the approach on an industrial application development project and we provide a productivity comparison with traditional approaches.

Making Questions with 'Be'
It is easy to make yes/no questions using 'be' in the present tense and present continuous tense.
'Inverting' the order
In the present tense and present continuous tense, the verb 'be' looks like this:
I am
You are
He is
She is
It is
We are
They are
Some are
Many are
To make a question, swap the word order:
Am I going?
Are you happy?
Is he your boyfriend?
Is she tall?
Is it a cat?
Are we playing?
Are they OK?
Are some red?
Are many people there?
The answer uses the original word order:
Is he going?
(Yes, he is / No, he isn't)
Are you OK?
(Yes, I am / No, I'm not)
Add question words for details
English has question words:
how many
how long
These are added to make different questions:
What is his name?
When are we going?
Where is your car?
Which are your shoes?
Who are they?
How is your food?
How long is the game?
How many are there?

The Bud Werner Memorial Library in Steamboat Springs, is seeking volunteer readers in a variety of foreign languages to contribute to "Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here," an evening of poetry readings and art on March 5.
This local performance joins communities all around the world in honoring Baghdad's famous literary street, which was named for the Arab world's most famous poet, Al-Mutanabbi. Volunteers are being sought to read a short poem in languages other than English — no poetry composition required.
"Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here" commemorates the 2007 bombing of Baghdad's historic street of booksellers. Al-Mutanabbi Street is a winding street about of 1,000 feet long, noted for its many bookstores and outdoor bookstalls where people gather as a great humanitarian center.
It has been a thriving center of Baghdad's bookselling and publishing for centuries. The bombing took the lives of 30 people and destroyed a large portion of the neighborhood. The booksellers who survived rebuilt their stores and are once again in business.
They sell works by Sunnis, Shiites, Christians, Jews, children's books and progressive publications from around the world. Every year since the creation of "Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here," poetry readings and exhibits have taken place around the world in early March.

Study the two pictures above carefully and write an essay entitled "On Education of China" In the essay, you should (1) describe the pictures (2) interpret their meaning (3) give your opinion about the phenomenon .You should write about 200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)
The two pictures look so similar at one glance, but they are totally different. In the first picture, a peasant boy, carrying a heavy bundle of rice straw is out of breath under the great pressure. His hope is to have a school to attend. In the second picture, a student is on his way home from school, a heavy bag of books on his back. What he wishes is that he didn't have to go to school any more. How can the two boys at the same age have such different ideas about attending school?
The two pictures show some problems in the present education system in China. In the poor countryside, especially in some western parts of China, the education is also poor. There are no buildings for classrooms, let alone good teachers. Children there cannot have regular education. They are sometimes forced to leave their studies because their families cannot afford the necessary fees. However, the situation is totally different in the cities. Almost all the children in the cities can have regular education. They can enjoy the bright classrooms and adequate facilities. But they have their own problems. What they face is the endless homework, which puts so much pressure on them that some students don't want to continue their studies.
Given the problems above, our government has taken some measures. "The Hope Project" has been in operation to ensure that children in the poor areas can achieve education. Some strategies have also been put into force to reduce the pressure on the students. Teachers are asked not to give too much homework. Emphasis should be put on the improvement of

Accuracy of Model Predictions and the Effects of Atmospheric Stability on Wind Turbine Noise at the Maple Ridge Wind Power Facility, Lowville, NY
The main objective of this study was to measure the noise levels at two sites within Atlantic Renewable Energy Corporation's Maple Ridge Wind Power Project located in Lewis County, New York, and compare actual levels with the model predictions that were available in the preconstruction Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). The second objective was to examine atmospheric stability at Maple Ridge. Atmospheric stability was identified as a significant problem at a wind farm on the Dutch-German border. Stability occurs when ground level winds, where people live and reside, are decoupled from those at wind turbine hub-height. This can occur at the end of the day when the land mass begins to cool. It affects wind turbine noise because wind turbines can be operating and making noise when ground level winds are calm and we expect quiet surroundings.
This study demonstrated that summer, night-time noise levels exceeded levels predicted for two sites within the Maple Ridge Wind Farm. For winds above generator cut-in speed (e.g., 3.0 m/s @ 80-m), the measured noise was 3-7 dBA above predicted levels. The decoupling of ground level winds from higher level winds, i.e., atmospheric stability, was apparent in the noise data at both sites during evening and night-time periods. At wind speeds below 3.0 m/s, when wind turbines were supposedly inoperative, noise levels were 18.9 and 22.6 dBA above the expected background levels for each of the sites and these conditions occurred a majority of the time. The same results were evident in the evening period. Furthermore, digital recordings revealed prominent wind turbine sounds below cut-in speeds.

Following the call to action of the Anuradha Ghandy Campaign in support of proletarian feminism, we are publishing a short speech written by a supporter of the RAH and given at the International Working Womenʹs Day event hosted by the Stonewall Militant Front in Austin this year. Proletarian feminism was birthed in the class struggle, in Peopleʹs War, and in our modern movement we must honor our martyrs and theorists like Comrade Anuradha Ghandy and carry that struggle onwards. Ten years after her death, the memory and spirit of Comrade Anuradha Ghandy lives on, in the Peopleʹs War in India, and in the international communist struggle. It is this spirit which drives us forward now to build a militant womenʹs movement which can crush the class enemy here in the belly of the imperialist beast.
Long live the struggle of proletarian women for their liberation!
Honor to Comrade Anuradha Ghandy!
Onwards in the development of a proletarian feminist movement in the world!
The oppression of women has existed for so long in our world, and is so pervasive and total in our society, that it appears to be almost natural, undefeatable, something which we can only improve or manage but never fully do away with. The capitalists themselves, when they acknowledge the oppression of women, tell us that it is either natural or that we should seek only to improve the representation of women within the ruling class and their toadies within the state. Both serve the same purpose: to preserve the oppression of women, to continue their subjugation and domestication and to liquidate revolution. The capitalists cannot end the oppression of women, and they do not seek to because they are the only people who benefit from it. But this does not mean it cannot be abolished in its totality. The oppression of women was born at the dawn of class society, as the very first ruling classes emerged. At the very establishment of private property, women became subjects, domestic slaves bound to the home and to reproduction, bound to the most demeaning drudgery, as men established control over production and property. Women have been oppressed since the moment oppression was born into this world, and they cannot be truly freed until private property and class society are demolished and withered away, until all of humanity achieves dignity and freedom at last under communism.

Though this may seem distant and unreachable, we know that we can achieve this, and that in fact it is the natural progression of class struggle. To bring about this world we must build revolution, and understand that revolution is the violent struggle between classes, and never succumb to any delusions that there can be any kind of peaceful revolution. In building revolution, the role of women must be understood as essential to its success, as strategic and not tactical. As comrade Lenin said ʹThe experience of all liberation movements has shown that the success of a revolution depends on how much the women take part in it.ʹ Marxism-Leninism-Maoism teaches us, synthesizing the lessons of a century of class struggle, that protracted peopleʹs war is our universal strategy for the seizure of state power. To better explain the role of women in peopleʹs war and the peopleʹs army, Iʹm going to briefly touch upon these concepts.
The peopleʹs army is an army of a new type. It is utterly unlike the bourgeois military forces we associate with the word ʹarmyʹ. It is in short a political army with a military face, which is always lead by the party and its guiding ideology, never letting the gun take command over its decisions. While it has officers and soldiers, their relationships is nothing like that of the bourgeois forces. The soldiers are able to criticize their officers and the officers receive no medals, no special privileges. The way it engages the enemy is also completely different: its actions are political attacks given military form. It relies on the enemy as their quartermaster, stealing arms and ammunition from them, and captives are treated fairly and every attempt is made to win them over to revolution. In peopleʹs war the warfare is also of guerrilla and not a conventional nature. But the greatest difference between a peopleʹs army and a bourgeois army is in its relationship to the people. A peopleʹs army is not one which takes from the people, it is not one which relies parasitically upon the society in which it operates. A peopleʹs army seeks to be as fish among the ocean of the masses, seeking to unite with them fully, meeting their needs, and producing its own supplies, paying fairly for whatever they need from the people. A peopleʹs soldier is a true servant of the people. To be absolutely clear: the peopleʹs army and the soldiers within it carry out the majority of the mass work during peopleʹs war. They produce infrastructure and agriculture for the people within the base areas and defend them from the forces of the state.
The role of women in peopleʹs war and the peopleʹs army is one of strategic importance. Peopleʹs war brings about transformation in women, and women bring about transformation to the peopleʹs army. They not only double the potential pool of fighters, they improve the quality of the work of the peopleʹs army and themselves often prove the better of male fighters. Women in fact have been active participants in every attempt at socialist revolution, from the first blows of the Paris commune, to the victory of the October revolution, to the long wars of the Chinese revolution, and every peopleʹs war since. Among any segment of the masses, women are the most oppressed, and this oppression is turned into fury in peopleʹs war, which is unleashed upon the bourgeois and their running dogs. In Peru, the PCP paid special attention to the condition of women, who would make up almost half of the peopleʹs army and eventually 60% of the central committee, the highest amount of women to be represented on the central committee of any communist party. They became soldiers and indeed commanders and officers, and terrified the bourgeois forces, who made many observations that they were more furious fighters than their male counterparts. The influence of such women within both the army and the party cannot be understated. Because women understand fully that the forces of reaction will only bring them back into subjugation, that their freedom lies only at the end of the road from socialism to communism, they fight all the more ferociously both for the socialist revolution and to safeguard its gains against capitalist revisionism.
In Nepal a large amount of women joined the peopleʹs army, and were both an asset to it as soldiers and had a great role in transforming its nature to that of a true peoples army. In their documents they note that women played an important role in giving the army its mass character, ensuring it was not only active in fighting but also in organizing the masses and in engaging in productive labor. Women were able to go among the masses more easily, better integrating themselves in the families in the areas the peoples army was in or moving into. They took away the masculine image from the army, showing the people it was truly an egalitarian force and making it more approachable. In the theater of fighting itself, women were no less valuable. They were found to be more tenacious fighters, more eager to go on the offensive, and more resistant to torture. It was found that where men lay down arms and gave up, women would continue to fight. They were less prone to big-headedness after victories and skulking after defeats, being more patient and retaining their composure. Despite facing conservative thinking among some men in the party and in the army, they proved that they were not less physically able than their male counterparts, and as in Peru they were decisive force in the successes of their peopleʹs war.
Not only were women of benefit to the peopleʹs army, they were drawn to it in large numbers from other organizations. In Nepal, an internal survey of women in the movement found that between the army, the party, and the united front, women most sought to be within the army (about 40% identifying it as the field they were most drawn to). In Peru we can also see that women joined the peoples army through the movimiento femenino popular in large numbers, and there are also large numbers of women within the new peoples army of the Philippines right this moment. Why are women so drawn to peopleʹs war, to the peopleʹs armies? There are many aspects of peopleʹs war which appeal to women. Its productive and compassionate nature to the people, itʹs egalitarian nature which allows women the chance to advance, and the opportunity to turn their righteous fury upon their class enemy are some examples. The base area itself, the ability to begin to nurture the fruits of the revolution and build a more just and free world where they themselves can taste the beginnings of their liberation, has great appeal to women struggling for revolution. Of greater appeal, however, is the affect the peopleʹs army and peopleʹs war has on women inside and outside of it.
Violence and struggle are the only ways change occurs in this world. This is true for everything from physics to society. War has an immediate effect upon those taking part, and the nature of the peopleʹs army and peopleʹs war makes these effects into positive transformation. Women are changed by peopleʹs war both in essence and also in form. Where she lacked confidence, where she was made meek and told to focus on her appearance over her physical and ideological development, she is now given leadership, she is trained into a soldier who is upright and armed, able to fight for long periods of time or in quick succession. She is given a political education and the equal place to argue with the men around her both over matters of class struggle as well as gender. Where before her spirit was quashed and she was made to be quiet, now she is rebellious, furious and armed. Long have women endured quietly the private and public violence of men, made powerless against this predation and humiliation by the forces of the bourgeois state. During peopleʹs war womanizers, abusers and rapists fear maoist women, and those who commit acts of violence against women are swiftly punished by the peopleʹs courts. In Nepal especially it was noted that women who had been oppressed by the feudal system transformed wholly and completely. Previously women had worked dawn till dusk on land they had no rights to, which was owned completely by their husbands and would only be passed to their sons, they were not even permitted to remarry after their husbands death. After the initiation of peopleʹs war these same women learned how to plant time bombs, listen for enemy intelligence, and plan complicated attacks against reactionary forces. Women who had previously been illiterate and confined to the home now argued complicated matters of philosophy. Before they faced the endless drudgery of feudal life, the only escape being urban life, which itself offered only trafficking into prostitution or enslavement in sweatshops. Prostitutes who had previously known only the gravest indignities, deepest humiliation and most grotesque violence were freed and became dignified and powerful fighters, able to attack the very state that had forced them into such destitution and earning a dignified death in service to the people, for which they would be celebrated both by their comrades and the people. Peopleʹs war offered freedom, an exciting new avenue for young women to challenge themselves alongside men on equal terms, to prove themselves physically and mentally. Women were, for the first time, given an opportunity for a dignified life and a dignified death in service to the people and indeed to the whole world revolution.
nepal women
This change however swept far beyond the women directly involved in the peopleʹs war. The peopleʹs war had dramatic affect upon the women within the base areas as well. A base area is in short an area in which the party has seized full control and from which it attempts to build the embryo of a new socialist state. These conditions within the base areas create fertile ground for women to assert themselves and act in ways that feudal and capitalist oppression never allow. In Nepal it was found that women began plowing agricultural fields which was not religiously permitted and tiling roofs which was not culturally permitted. When their husbands were killed by police they would shun traditional widowhood ceremonies and instead would print in newspapers resolutions to avenge their husbands in revolutionary struggle. The shame and stigma around remarrying after widowing was also eroded away, and women began to marry for the first time based on love and ideological commitment, and also divorce men who were found to be traitors to and enemies of the revolution. Women were no longer having children until they had sons, and were infact limiting the number of children they had such that they could continue their revolutionary activities. Where before they had no options against polygamy, cheating husbands, and sexual violence they could now find dignity through the peopleʹs courts, and began to speak out against their abusers. Before rape victims were stigmatize, but as the state engaged in organized rape campaigns, this shame gave way to a deep class hatred and a burning desire for rebellion. Women were able to take an active role in shaping the new state, both in infrastructure and in policy, and the absence of men lead to women being more cooperative and alongside the leadership of the party they engaged in many collective works, collective farming being one such example which both improved the lives of the people and brought many families, including those whose male leaders were reactionaries, to the side of the revolution. In the base areas, women began at last to grasp dignity.
Outside of the base areas in Nepal peopleʹs war radically changed the nature of womenʹs lives and womenʹs organizing. Before peopleʹs war the backwards, reformist feminist movement found itself scarcely able to do anything. After the initiation of peopleʹs war, womens organizations began to abandon the struggle for reforms and began to take action, and likewise the reactionary nature of NGOs and their sham activists were exposed. No longer did feminist organizations discuss the representation of women in parliament or amongst the bourgeois. The fraudulent nature of such struggles was exposed as counter revolutionary, and instead violent demonstrations against beauty pageants were organized, and organizations came together to protest the rape torture and murder of revolutionary women. In urban areas where the peopleʹs war had not touched, women began to become more class conscious and the womenʹs movement began to see class as the key link to their oppression. Likewise was the failure of reform and charity laid bare in Peru, as NGO activists were exposed as snitches selling revolutionaries to the state, and as reformists called for the end of armed struggle in favor of participation in elections even as the state engaged in horrific campaigns of violence and slaughter against the people. Such reformism is the betrayal of the womenʹs struggle, of the struggle for true and final liberation. It liquidates the fury of women into that domesticated meekness the bourgeois seeks in all its subjects but especially among women. A sugar coated bullet is still a bullet, and in the face of peopleʹs war, it is plain to the masses and especially to women that such capitulation can lead them no where but back into shackles.
Sadly enough, the communist party of Nepal itself capitulated to capitalist ideology emerging within the movement, which we call revisionism, and liquidated the peopleʹs war to engage in parliamentary struggle. When the party laid down itʹs weapons, the condition of women immediately became worse. In their own propaganda they admitted that women became less involved in the party, that the womenʹs struggle went backwards, and these phony ʹMaoistsʹ began to talk of the representation within parliament and of reform that they had railed against just a few years prior. When the peopleʹs army was taken from women, they lost everything they had fought and died for. In this defeat we find stark lessons: firstly, that we must guard against revisionism within our movement. Revisionism turns our struggle into its opposite, it turns the party of the proletariat into the party of the bourgeois, and the peopleʹs army into the lapdogs of the capitalists, the struggle for revolution into one for reform. The other lesson we can take from this and from other failures and defeats is that women can only be emancipated through the armed struggle. Truly, without the peopleʹs army, the people (and women especially) have nothing.
In our present movement, we must begin to build for this struggle here and now. We cannot be deceived by those who tell us that the path to our freedom as women lies in reforms, in representation, in community healing. The only way forward for women is revolutionary violence. Our whole lives as women we are cowed, domesticated, made meek and demure. Our bodies are not our own, and any concerns of physical health or physically ability seconded to aesthetic and sexual appeal, particularly to men. We are assaulted by friends, by lovers, by family and by strangers, and we are never truly allowed the means to defend ourselves and to strike out against those who prey upon us. Our bodies are viewed as things to be consumed, to be used by others, to be bought and sold in advertisements, or often as prostitutes, sugar babies, and in nudes over snapchat. We are denied access to much of the workforce, and those areas we are expected to exist within are devalued. When we do share work spaces with men we are valued and payed less than them, and we are often sexually harassed and assaulted by our bosses and male coworkers. Women who are of oppressed nations or who are LGBT face a triple oppression, subject to further violence and indignities, pushed further into prostitution and out of the workforce. We are butchered in our streets, in our homes, and even alongside our families. How many black women must vanish, how many lesbians must be found butchered in their homes, how many girls must be assaulted before we discard the vulgar lies of reformism? Despite the supposed successes of bourgeois feminism we are still largely confined to the domestic sphere, we still lack in dignity and in autonomy. Our president is a fucking rapist. Nothing these phony ʹresistersʹ and #bossbabes offer us can lift us out of this indignity. But there is a way forward for women. Reclaiming revolutionary violence can give us our dignity, peopleʹs war can give us a correct direction for our violence to destroy this corrupt, bastard world and birth a new one. Socialism towards communism is the only road to freedom for us. Womenʹs participation in revolution is a condition of itʹs success, and the condition for the emancipation of women is our participation in revolution, in peopleʹs war.

There is more to draw on than historical examples, even more recent than the peoples war in Nepal which continued into the early 2000ʹs. In the Philippines today women make up a large portion of the New Peopleʹs Army and indeed have place within the party as well. Women are celebrated within the NPA, and simply checking twitter or facebook you can see smiling women in battle dress, determined women training with stolen AKʹs and ARʹs, and videos women holding philosophical and political discussions. A recent tweet illustrates quite clearly the view of women in the NPA: ʹWomen who chose the revolutionary path – the new women – have already emancipated themselves. They are no longer beholden to any repressive authority and, in fact, gained the freedom to smash them.ʹ It is accompanied by a picture of woman of the NPA with an AK standing alongside a man with an AR. As of IWWD, this was tweeted a scant 6 days ago. But we do not even need to look so far as that! Within our own budding movement we can see this struggle begin to take shape. In Kansas city, the Proletarian Feminist Committee has, for about a year now, organized self defense classes for everyone but specifically aimed towards women. The organizers have themselves said that women take these more seriously than men, and fight in them more viciously and train more regularly. In Los Angeles, today, the same day that I deliver this presentation, Red Guards Los Angeles announced the formation of their own ʹWomenʹs Guerrilla Defense Unitsʹ in an absolutely inspiring statement. To quote them quite directly:
ʹWith the participation of the Ovarian Psyco-Cycles we will be starting a Boyle Heights proletarian Womenʹs Guerrilla Defense Unit open to all genders but with a principal focus on proletarian oppressed nationality women.
The unit will be one part internal self-defense training for women, one part external (public) self-defense training for women, one part political development – all united principally under the philosophy that only through revolutionary vengeance/violence is it possible for proletarian women and their allies to be transformed and emancipated from patriarchal capitalism-imperialism.
Patriarchy cannot be simply unlearned. We must literally arm ourselves and go to war with U.S. capitalism.ʹ
In our own locality, the Stonewall Militant Front has reaffirmed its commitment to carrying out revolutionary violence against the forces of capitalist patriarchy. More concretely, our comrades here in the Revolutionary Student Front -ATX have started an absolutely ruthless campaign against the loathsome domestic abuser in the faculty, Morrisette. They have brought great scrutiny and attention to his history of domestic violence and have inspired the masses to carry out multiple graffiti attacks against him and against UT for harboring him. Itʹs militant proletarian feminist leadership has called for revolutionary violence against all abusers and him in particular, expressing their desire to see his throat crush by a militant womenʹs movement in an impassioned speech delivered on campus. These are our first stumbling steps down the road to real proletarian feminism, a feminism that brings violence to the forces of capitalist patriarchy, to abusers and to the capitalists that are, ultimately, responsible for them and who alone benefit from womenʹs subjugation. We must not be meek on this matter: we must begin building for peopleʹs war in everything we do. Proletarian feminism means nothing less, women deserve nothing less, our class deserves nothing less, than the violent overthrow of the capitalists, of patriarchy and national oppression. These forces oppress and exploit us for the benefit of a few, who set us at each others throats like beaten dogs to squabble amongst ourselves for the pathetic morsels of reform they ever so often condescend to toss us. But the fury of women, of working class women, is boundless. Our oppression was born at the dawn of class society and it will die at the birth of communism, with our hands firmly around its throat. Women hold up nothing so little as half of the sky, and we must bring the full force of that down upon the capitalists in violent revolution.
Long live the revolution!
Long live proletarian feminism!

I own a 30 TF that has had the bulkhead replaced (available for sale in the classifieds BTW!). Just about every 30 TF I've seen or heard about over the years has had problems with rot in the bulkhead. Does anyone know why this happened? Is it the drains from the flybridge floor? The seam along the back of the flybridge? Wicking from the bilge? I'd like to know for sure what caused the problem. Anyone know?
Views: 217
James, We have the same boat. Mine had the most decay at the top corner of the bulkhead. There are drains from the bridge that allow water to run along the outside wall. I couldn't believe it when I was cleaning the bridge for the first time... looking at where the water went.... it is a major flaw. I have very little rot at the bottom in front of the engines but the wall and the fiberglass did need some 5200 to fill a 1/4" gap in front of the engine covers. The previous owners installed a canvas enclosure that resolved most of the issue. I've seen several of these boats with a sloped back cover too.
I'm curious did you remove the deck around the engine covers to replace your bulkhead? I've seen pictures of First Light when he completely redid his when replacing the engines and fuel tank. I've done the side walls but not the full bulkhead. It's going to take a lot of nerve to rip that out.
The bulkhead in my boat was replaced by the previous owner, but the deck around the engine covers was left intact. I did fix a few issues with the deck in fornt of the engines using thickened epoxy.
Thanks for confirming it's the drains from the flybridge that cuase the issue. I'm thinking about sealing the void on the sides at the rear of the flybridge and installing a simple though hull drain to allow water to drain overboard from the back corners. I saw an old Seacraft once that had a drain hose from the bridge down to the bilge, that might be an option as well.

While you'll find that lawyers have spent quite some time becoming educated, it doesn't always mean that they're going to be the best person to take on whatever legal needs you have. Keep reading for useful information on finding a lawyer to help resolve your issues. You will not regret that you did.
If you're accused of a type of serious crime, hire a lawyer right away. Be certain that you never attempt to handle the matter on your own, as this is very dangerous. A lawyer has the right experience to help you in your situation.
Hire a lawyer that is accessible. It's not uncommon for some lawyers to be very hard to get a hold of. If your attorney is off playing golf, you would not wish to be left wondering about what could have happened.
Real Estate
When dealing with real estate issues like buying or selling a house or being sued about the place sold or bought, obtain a type of real estate lawyer. They are specially trained in real estate law, and will be able to give you the best possible advice.
When looking for a lawyer, do not just throw a dart at the Yellow pages! You must put in the research in order to get the best choice. Even other professionals may not know what they are doing in this situation; they could inadvertently lead you to someone who isn't licensed or doesn't know what they are doing. Do some research on the professional they recommend.
While it's true that you are the employer in a client-lawyer relationship, you must also have faith in your lawyer's insight. Anytime you feel uncomfortable with things your lawyer is telling you, let them know. Keep in mind that some lawyers have many cases to take care of and use a wide variety of strategies. It is important to choose a lawyer who has enough time for you and uses values you consider as positive.
A great lawyer may not exactly be the right one for you. If you understand legal specialties, you have a much better chance of finding a lawyer that is skilled in the right area of practice. The tips here will lead you down the path to the right candidate.

Philip Guston, who died in 1980 at 66, is the Abstract Expressionist who got away. Many founders of the movement — Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and Clyfford Still — stuck unswervingly to signature abstract styles won through long apprenticeships. But Guston flew the coop and circled back to representation, baffling many of his admirers.
From the late 1960s on, he devoted his final years to a dark, goofy figurative style that earned him a new, younger audience, producing one of the greatest finales in modern painting.
Played out in stubby forms, alternately rough and virtuosic surfaces, and a radiant palette heavy on red, pink, black and orange, this last act seemed to have everything. It was accessible and mysterious, beautiful and ugly, urgent yet Olympian, irrational and irresistible. It revealed the joy and anguish of life and of living to paint. And it came from the artist's core, bringing to unexpected fruition his childhood devotion to comic books and resurrecting themes from the earliest stage of his artistic maturity.
The first "new" Gustons featured Katzenjammer Ku Klux Klansmen in the form of sturdy white triangles with black slots for eyes. Like the artist, they smoked cigars, made paintings and drove around in cars that were often stuffed with canvas-stretcher bars. Over the 1970s, these surrogates evolved into big, staring bowling-ball heads of the artist or his wife, the poet Musa McKim Guston.
Other big shapes loomed on the horizon of these paintings. Piles of shoes and legs accumulated, and studios with windows, green shades, naked light bulbs and clocks, ticking away, were glimpsed.
Guston's final phase was essential to painting's resurgence in the 1980s, but how he got there is much less familiar, even to die-hard fans: an extended transition from paintings piled with squirming colored shapes through ones that isolated black rocklike orbs on mostly gray grounds. They form the least studied period of his career, but that should change with "Philip Guston: Painter, 1957-1967," at Hauser & Wirth in Chelsea. The show's 35 paintings, some of which have not been shown since the 1960s, and nearly 50 drawings feel like a shot in the arm.
The exhibition is organized by Paul Schimmel, the former chief curator of the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art and a partner in Hauser Wirth & Schimmel, the gallery's Los Angeles branch. It presents the inspiring tale of an artist refusing to give up, and not only illuminates a neglected phase but reshapes understanding of Guston's career. The show indicates that Guston's development was the reverse of other Abstract Expressionists'. His own arduous apprenticeship came only after he embraced abstraction, and it guided him back to imagery.
What happened before all that is also better known than the transition. In the beginning, in the mid-1930s, the young Guston parlayed the influences of the Mexican muralists José Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros, the Surrealist Giorgio de Chirico and the Renaissance master Piero della Francesca into a suave, rather refined social realism. Several of this style's motifs — Klansmen included — would be reprised in late Guston.
Then there's the classic Guston of the early 1950s, when he joined the Abstract Expressionist bandwagon just in time to generally rank among the movement's first generation. (It probably helped that he was male, tall and assertive and had been a high school pal of Jackson Pollock, who would manage his own truncated late phase toward the close of his short life.) A staple of countless museums, classic Guston offers shimmering fields of small, terse, often perpendicular brush strokes darkening from white and pink toward red centers.
Serenely beautiful, these canvases were often called Abstract Impressionist and evoke Turner's and Monet's sunsets at sea. Their one-stroke-after-another compositions also foreshadow the more methodical brushwork of Jasper Johns and Robert Ryman.
The abstractions were rudimentary for Guston, too: his first concerted involvement with paint as material and texture after years of relatively smooth, even fussy surfaces. From there he entered a prolonged yet fecund crisis, proceeding with a blend of caution and impatience, reconsidering every change yet usually making each canvas feel like a precarious scramble.
His questions were fundamental: How do brush strokes create a shape? How does a shape convey meaning, and how much of that meaning is in the paint itself? His newly active brushwork changes here as much as form and color, fluctuating in scale, rhythm and orderliness.
This show makes clear that Guston's encounter with relatively pure abstraction was brief, not even a decade long. As soon as his brush strokes began to clump into shapes, fidgeting, incipiently comical suggestions of people, places, things, relationships and feelings began to infiltrate his pictures. Intimations of motifs from the late paintings abound, especially in the human heads, whether alone or in groups or pairs, loving or confrontational. They would simply become more specific.
A complication of forms reigns in the show's first gallery, which features eight works from 1957 to '59. Guston's newfound shapes are numerous and irregular, squashed together. The vibrant yet narrow early-'50s palette of reds, whites and pinks broadens to allow more blue, green, caramel and especially black. The colors are relatively pure: When Guston uses contrasting strokes of black and reddish orange to make the prominent boxy shape in "Traveler III" of 1959, we recognize it as a harbinger of his late style, and not just because it seems to have two scrawny legs and big feet.
In the second gallery, colors darken and the shapes become fewer, bigger and rounder, like stones. Figurative titles like "Painter" turn personal, as in the 1960 "Garden of M," a tête-à-tête between a round black shape and a smaller red one. In "Path IV" and "Slope II" (both 1961), the stones have hinged jaws and open mouths. Images of Ned Kelly and his armored headgear by the Australian painter Sidney Nolan may come to mind.
In the final galleries, Guston seems almost to stall. His color narrows to black shapes on fields of mostly gray in fat luscious strokes that surround the stony shapes like raked sand. They introduce a new bravura yet evoke the more methodical early abstractions. Frequent underlayers of pink suggest color trying to break through. Figuration stares him in the face.
The two black shapes of "Painter III" (1963) form a head and a forearm, with the hand holding a brush or pencil. "Looking" (1964) insinuates a head and torso seen from the back, a staple of late Guston. But he could not go on. In 1965 he stopped painting, and did not resume for three years. "May Sixty-Five" implies a sunset at sea both desolate and hopeful: It centers on a black box that seems to be dropping behind a watery sheen of pink.
Guston turned to drawing, always a haven, starting with simple yet muscular lines and punchy marks in charcoal and ink. Grouped on a single wall in the final gallery, the show's 48 examples date from 1967 to '69 and provide a splendid coda, gradually yielding recognizable diagrams for windows, heads, leaves and squat buildings. Sometime in 1968, Guston would release these motifs onto small panels, initiating his feverish pursuit of an apostatic, no-holds-barred final surge.
