Welcome to Rail Holidays Australia's Winter Getaway North Queensland Coast tour as we chase some warmer weather. Our tour will include "planes, trains & automobiles" and we'll even have a couple of Queensland islands thrown in!
Thursday 27 July, 2017
We make our way to the Sydney Airport by direct coach for our early afternoon flight to Cairns to commence our Winter Getaway North Queensland Coast tour. On our arrival in Cairns, we transfer to our lovely hotel and settle in for the next 3 nights.
Friday 28 July, 2017
One of the "must do" tours in Cairns is a day to Kuranda. This morning we board the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway for a journey across the rooftop of World Heritage listed rain forest areas. The Skyrail is the world's longest gondola cableway. The views are spectacular. We stop off during our ascent to visit a rain forest interpretative centre and for a short walk along a boardwalk through the rain forest. Kuranda is full of arts and craft shops and we have plenty of time to explore the village and purchase lunch.
Mid-afternoon we depart Kuranda in Gold Class on the historic Kuranda Train for the spectacular ride through the magnificent Barron Falls National Park. Highlights of the ride are picturesque valleys, jungles, railway bridges, tunnels built over a century ago and the Barron Falls themselves. We'll arrive back at the hotel with some time to relax before dinner.
Saturday 29 July, 2017
Today we sail aboard a fast, stable catamaran providing a smoother ride and reduced travel time, leaving more of your day to experience the magic of the Great Barrier Reef. The all-weather Marine World platform caters for all activity levels. Snorkel in the sheltered coral lagoon, join a Marine Biologist on a Guided Snorkel safari. Not a confident swimmer? then stay dry and view the reef from the semi-submersible reef viewer, glass bottom boat or underwater observatory. We will be given an informative ecological presentation by a marine biologist and a smorgasbord luncheon. What a great day!
Sunday 30 July, 2017
The next leg of our Winter Getaway North Queensland Coast tour commences today. We catch the Spirit of Queensland at 9.00am for a delightful journey south to Townsville. Townsville is in the dry tropics region of Queensland and is the largest urban centre north of the Sunshine Coast. We are met on arrival by our local coach operator who will transfer us to our next 3 nights' accommodation.
Monday 31 July, 2017
Today we begin our sightseeing tour of the unofficial capital of North Queensland, our first stop today is at Reef HQ, showing off fish and animals only found on the Great Barrier Reef. We will be given a talk by the Aquarist, including a visit to the turtle hospital. We then head to the Museum of Tropical Queensland showcasing the history and heritage of the North Queensland region. Learn the fascinating story of the HMS Pandora, the ship that chased the Bounty mutineers, only to be wrecked on the Great Barrier Reef in 1791.
We take a 'fast ferry' trip allowing us to spend the afternoon exploring Magnetic Island. The Island was first discovered by Captain Cook. He called it Magnetical Island because he believed that the ores on the island had affected his compass! With a wide variety of environmental experiences and attractions. We enjoy a guided tour of the island with an afternoon break at beautiful Horseshoe Bay before the return ferry service to Townsville.
Tuesday 1 August, 2017
We have a special adventure today as we head west to Charters Towers and Texas Longhorn Tours. Upon arrival we enjoy a delicious array of damper and billy tea morning tea! We'll take a ride in the wild west-replicated wagon plus visit the Longhorns, including JR – the 2012 world record holder of longest horns from tip to tip. Then we make our way into town. Here we have a guided tour of the Venus Gold Battery, Queensland's oldest gold stamp battery and an insight into the gold rush.
Wednesday 2 August, 2017
Our first visit today is the RAAF Museum. Originally set up as a base for the US Army Air Force. The museum features a unique collection of engines, uniforms, photographs, models and memorabilia, spanning the history of Northern Australia military aviation. Heading south to the Billabong Sanctuary for a guided ranger tour of one of Australia's best interactive wildlife parks. Crocodiles, Eels, Pythons, Dingos, Cassowarys, Koalas and Wombats are some of the many residents here. Returning to Townsville we head to Palmetum Park a botanical garden. Within the park is also the Blackhawk Memorial, dedicated to the 18 soldiers who lost their lives in a helicopter training exercise accident in 1996.
This afternoon, we board the Spirit of Queensland for our three-hour train journey to Proserpine. Upon our arrival at Proserpine train station, we'll transfer to Airlie Beach for the next three nights. The Whitsunday Coast is located on the same latitude as Rio de Janeiro and Tahiti. Airlie Beach is nestled amongst the rainforest and overlooking the blue waters of the Whitsunday Passage.
Thursday 3 August, 2017
This morning we join our full day two island cruise. This cruise showcases two very different faces of the Whitsunday islands. Daydream Island is home to "The Living Reef", one of the world's largest man-made living coral reef lagoons and features more than 140 species of marine fish and 83 species of coral. After lunch we cruise too beautiful Whitehaven Beach on uninhabited Whitsunday Island. With 7 kilometres of glistening pure silica sand, Whitehaven Beach is nature at its most unspoilt and spectacular best. Take a stroll or maybe a swim in the crystal clear blue water.
Friday 4 August, 2017
Another great day is in store for us with a company called Proserpine RiverEco Tours. We'll transfer to their unique venture on a private section of the Proserpine River. Our day will be divided into two parts – first will be the crocodile safari where we take a cruise along the calm waters of the Proserpine River at low tide to see some of the local saltwater crocodile basking on the river banks. Then a wetlands tour on an open-air wagon train to view the abundant wildlife across the Googanga Plains. It's a nationally listed wetland habitat and we will experience some unique Australian scenery and wildlife as we travel through flood plains, pastures, saltpans and melaleuca forests.
Tonight we are in for a treat as we join the Sundowner Cruises on a pre-dinner Sunset Cruise around Pioneer Bay, followed by a delectable two-course meal at Tides Restaurant in Peppers Resort overlooking the Whitsunday Islands. What a fantastic way to enjoy our last night in Airlie.
Saturday 5 August, 2017
After a leisurely breakfast we farewell our hosts and get ready for the cruise to Hamilton Island. Here we connect with our direct flight, arriving back in Sydney later this afternoon and direct coach home. What a fabulous 10-day holiday!

Hānau ʻO Waiʻōlino: College of Business and Economics gets a New Home
News Editor: Aspen Mauch
Photographers: Zach Gorski and Aspen Mauch
The new College of Business and Economics (CoBE) facility officially opened on Friday, September 16, 2016, with a bilingual blessing. For Hawaiians, this traditional ceremony is a very spiritual event, and faculty members were instructed to not wear black, instead donning earth-toned colors. Attendees were also politely asked not to speak or engage in daily conversation during the blessing of the four corners of the building. "Out of respect for the local culture, if we're going to operate here we need to buy into what it is to be a part of this community," said Drew Martin, Professor of Marketing and recently-installed Dean of CoBE.
The program included a traditional oli (Hawaiian chant), hula and musical performances, fresh Hawaiian food, and the formal naming of the building: Hānau ʻO Waiʻōlino. "Because we are looking at providing a name that belongs to this place, which is Hilo, Hawaiʻi, we decided that maybe we needed to look at our Hawaiian understandings of giving names," said Larry Kimura, Associate Professor of Hawaiian Language and Hawaiian Studies.
Waiʻōlino literally translates to "sparkling waters," the water that flows smoothly. According to Kimura, in Hawaiʻi, the smoothly flowing waters radiates "shine and glimmer" that indicates wellbeing and prosperity.
"Waiʻōlino is the waters of prosperity," Kimura said. "The glimmer and sheen of birds' feathers also represents wealth in Hawaiian culture, a state of wellbeing and robustness. So wai, or water, is an essential element for life to exist in our culture, in all of our world. When we duplicate the word "wai" into "wai-wai," that equates to richness and affluence, which we hope the College of Business [and Economics] will have as a goal for its program. Hawaiian culture strives to be mindful of the natural world as its guide and measure, so such worthy goals would be incorporated into the name for the building… Waiʻōlino, "sparkling water."
Waiʻōlino promises to be a rich learning center that will not only serve professors and administration, but students and members of the community alike. "The new building has impacted the college tremendously," Martin said. "It has given us a home, a center; the pride that we have in this building is tremendous. When I first arrived at UH Hilo, the business school was really located in more than one place. We had faculty in three different buildings, and some of the facilities were really, well, used. To finally have a home after all these years, a place that we can turn into a center for learning and sharing ideas about business, is just amazing."
Martin hopes that the completion of Waiʻōlino will help strengthen the bond between students and CoBE. "I want this to be a community place, a place where we can meet, and learn, and share," Martin said. "I want to show it [Waiʻōlino] off, I want to wear out the carpet, because that means we have a lot of people coming in here and enjoying it."
Waiʻōlino contains a plaza, faculty offices, and a large, multi-purpose room intended to be used for various meetings and events, as well as a place where students will be able to study and work on projects. Although Waiʻōlino is officially open for business, there are still plans to include additional features to the facility and further expansion in the near future. "We probably have another year of working to get it the way we want it," Martin said. "When you walk in, we want to have a big flat television screen set that's going to be able to show you events, pictures of things that are happening, a calendar, etc."
Aside from the new facility, CoBE is also working on improving internal affairs within the department, as well as issues concerning the curriculum: "We're revising our business minor to make it more streamlined," Martin said. "We hope to have many, if not all, of those (business minor) classes online as well so it doesn't conflict with students that are getting majors in other areas. For students who are studying nursing, marine biology, astronomy, geology, [etc.], a business minor would be fabulous to add to what their major is. I think our minor program could potentially be larger than our major, because we can offer something that a lot of students will find useful in their chosen careers."

The Case For Azure Minerals & A Chat with Managing Director Tony Rovira
For those of you that haven't read my recent post on where I see commodity markets heading, I'm starting to take positions in companies in the precious metals space (particularly silver) as I see a possible rebound in metals prices in the not-too-distant future.
Due to the recent down turn in the commodities sector, there are a number of exploration juniors that have found what appears to be high quality deposits, but haven't yet experienced the rapid share price appreciation that they likely would have during bullish market conditions.
Part of my current strategy is taking positions in these companies now, to take advantage of likely share price rises when the market turns for the better.
One of these companies is Azure Minerals (AZS.AX) who have recently discovered what appears to be an extremely high grade silver deposit in Mexico.
I got in Touch with Azure Managing Director Tony Rovira to discuss the companies developments. However, before I get to our correspondence I'll outline a little bit about why I'm so bullish towards Azure Minerals.
The Case For Azure Minerals
Azure has recently discovered high grade silver mineralisation at their Alacrán tenement in Northern Mexico. They drilled four boreholes with all four returning significant silver grades. A shot from their 16th of September announcement highlights perfectly the kind of grades and thicknesses we are talking about:
To put things in perspective, based on the limited completed drill holes to date, and the current spot prices for gold and silver:
- The "ultra high grade" 9.0m intercept @ 1,235g/t silver is equivalent to 16.2g/t gold.
- The approximate average of the "high grade zone" appears to be ~500g/t, (~6.5g/t gold equivalent), over a thickness of approximately 20 meters.
- The approximate average of the "overall mineralised zone zone" appears to be ~250g/t (~3.5g/t gold equivalent), over a thickness ranging from 39 meters to over 70 meters.
Now bear in mind that the thicknesses quoted above are likely to be very close to true thickness, based on the fact that the mineralised body appears to be a flat to shallowly dipping, tabular, erosion resistant body which has formed the outcropping Mesa with which it resides.
Yes that's right, all of the above occurs from surface, meaning there's likely to be almost no overburden. All in all, this means a likely extremely low cost deposit to mine due to the absence of overburden.
To give you another look at the deposit, I've included a preliminary schematic long section from the same September announcement below. The black horizontal lines with Above Sea Level (ASL) numbers represent the possible base of mineralisation along the deposit.
The Mesa de Plata target was initially identified by analyzing soil geochemical sampling which showed a clear and strong silver anomaly at the site. This was followed by the drilling program which confirmed significant silver mineralisation within the vuggy siliceous capping layer.
Subsequently, mapping and soil geochemistry sampling on the ridge directly to the north east has identified both a) the same vuggy siliceous lithology and b) a similiar in soil silver geochemical anomaly. This prospect has since been named "Loma Bonita".
You'll notice Loma Bonita has returned similarly anomalous silver values to Mesa de Plata. One unique difference however is that whilst Mesa de Plata soil samples and drilling assay results have proven barren for gold, the same soil samples shown above at Loma Bonita have returned significant gold values:
That suggests to me that there is a very decent chance we are going to see both gold AND silver mineralisation at Loma Bonita. No exploration drilling has yet been undertaken at Loma Bonita.
Further to that, Azure geologists have suggested the deposit is likely a high sulphidation, epithermal deposit. The mineralised fluids the create these deposits originate from a magmatic source at depth, typically a porphyry body as shown in the diagram below:
The fact Mesa de Plata and Loma Bonita are just a stones throw from the second largest open cast porphyry copper mine in North America, Cananea, suggests there is the potential for further exploration upside, both in trying to identify the feeder system and the primary source of the mineralising fluids, i.e. a possible porphyry at depth.
Photo's shown here, taken during a site visit by Andrew Jackson of well renowned Resource investment firm Sprott Global, show the potential of the deposit. In particular I like:
- Photo 3 which is taken from atop the Mesa de Plata outcrop and shows the vicinity of the deposit to the giant Cananea mine,
- Photo 7 which provides a great shot of the nature of the "vuggy silica" which hosts the silver mineralisation and
- Photo 11 showing the steeply dipping structures in the valley between the Mesa de Plata and Loma Bonita ridges – an exciting exploration target which may represent the feeder system mentioned above.
Mesa de Plata "in-situ" Silver Estimation
To give you an idea of the size of the resource we are potentially looking at, I decided to undertaking a rough "back of the envelope" calculation of the possible "in-situ" silver value based on the initial four drill hole results at Mesa de Plata. I assumed:
- ~160,000m2 of outcropping mineralisation based on estimated figures in a recent Azure announcement,
- An average true thickness of ~40m for the overall mineralised zone,
- An average grade of ~250g/t Ag for that zone and
- A specific gravity of 2.65g/cm3, i.e. that of quartz.
What I came up with was a preliminary "guestimation" of a possible silver resource of nearly 150 million ounces of silver worth over US$2 billion at current spot prices:
Now, obviously the above calculation is conceptual at best and is based on data from only four drill holes, geochemical sampling and the companies mapping program, but it gives some idea of the size of the resource we could be dealing with at Mesa de Plata. It's also a similar value to that presented in a recent Research note put forward by Patersons Securities.
Closely spaced RC resource definition drilling is currently under way at Mesa de Plata and will give a much clearer picture of the size of the resource and allow for a JORC compliant resource to be defined.
It's important to note that the value mentioned above doesn't consider any potential upside from the adjacent Loma Bonita, which is already proven to have a similar if not more prospective (i.e. includes gold) geochemical anomaly than that found at Mesa de Plata.
When you also consider the significant exploration upside potential with regards to the associated feeder and/or porphyry systems, then there is the potential for Azure to have one of the most significant exploration finds of recent times….and we haven't even mentioned Azures other Mexican prospect, Promontorio, in which they currently have a joint venture agreement with global giant Rio Tinto.
I hope it's becoming clear why I am rather bullish on Azure Minerals, a company I initially became interested in back in July, due to technical reasons I identified in it's trading patterns. Since then, the more I research Azure, the more I'm convinced the company has an extremely bright future.
A Discussion with Managing Director Tony Rovira
I decided to get in touch with Managing Director Tony Rovira and ask him a few questions regarding how things were going, both for myself as a shareholder and for The Nude Investor readers. I was delighted that he was more than happy to answer my questions.
Tony responded to be on the 12th of November, 2015 – see our correspondence below:
NI: Hi Tony, firstly as a shareholder, I'd like to congratulate you on the work you guys are doing at the moment. The recent discoveries coming out of Alacrán look set to unlock some real value for shareholders. Could you give us an update on Mesa de Plata – I know the diamond twin holes must be almost completed, if not already completed? Also the RC resource definition must be well under way?
TR: Thank you for your kind words. In replying, as I am sure you are aware, I cannot provide you with any material information that has not been released to ASX but I am happy to clarify matters for you. MDP is a great discovery due to the good work by our exploration team in Mexico, and they are continuing to advance the project. The diamond core drilling comprising 5 holes is now complete. The first 3 twinned RC holes and the remaining 2 were drilled into mineralised outcrop in the northern part of the prospect. The RC resource drill-out is going very well, with an average of one hole being drilled per day.
NI: The geochemical anomalies across the ridge at Loma Bonita look very promising as far as extending the zone of at/near surface mineralisation goes. What can we expect as far as near term exploration at Loma Bonita?
TR: We're continuing to undertake surface mapping and sampling over Loma Bonita and the areas further to the north. This is quite a large area, certainly larger than the MDP ridge, hence it will take longer to define locations for drill sites and access tracks.
NI: As a geologist, the long section published in your announcement on the 16th of September highlighting the initial discovery shows that the geology looks, structurally at least, relatively simple (flat lying without too much in the way of faulting and complexity). Having spent a bit more time getting the know the area, is this still your opinion?
TR: Yes, the strata is flat-lying, perhaps with a shallow north-easterly dip. There are occasional faults which result in minor vertical displacements. But overall the geology of MDP is simple.
NI: On the geology front, in my opinion there's likely there's more mineralisation to be found with regards to both the feeder system and primary source of the mineralising fluids. What are Azures thoughts on this and is there any plans to explore the area for the different mineralisation phases that might be associated with a broader mineralised system?
TR: As MDP is the result of a high sulphidation epithermal mineralising event, there will have been a mineralising source and a feeder system. Exploration for these targets is ongoing.
NI: Part of the reason for undertaking the diamond twin holes was to gain samples for metallurgical testing. Knowing that metallurgy can often make or break a prospect and that primary silver can sometimes be troublesome, what is your initial thoughts regarding the mineralogy and the ramifications with regards to metallurgy?
TR: Information on metallurgical and mineralogical studies will be release in due course.
NI: As highlighted in the recent Patersons research note, Teck has clawback rights to the project. Many people are wondering whether they will take up this opportunity, given that they recently exited Mexico on the whole and the deposit is probably going to be small by their standards. Is there anything you can tell us on this front, i.e. have you had much dialogue with Teck and what is your gut feeling about their intentions?
TR: I can add nothing to this subject at this time.
NI: Globally, silver miners are really struggling right now. Do you see Alacrán as a project that you are setting up now to be ready when the "tide turns", or are you confident the recent discovery is likely to be economic, regardless of market sentiment?
TR: Obviously we will need to do the various studies required to economically evaluate MDP, however because MDP is located on the top of a hill with no overlying waste rock, and the mineralisation drilled so far is of high grade, it's looking positive. Another point to be aware of is that the Mexican peso has devalued against the US$ by over 30% in the past year, which is good news for the many gold and silver producers in Mexico.
NI: It's clear that you've garnered a fair bit of interest since discovering the Mesa de Plata silver deposit. Given the downturn in the mining sector and the struggles many juniors are having raising funds, are you confident of being able to raise the necessary capital to progress the project, under terms that existing shareholders will be happy with?
TR: Yes
NI: There's no hiding the fact that the global mining sector as a whole is in a bit of a depressed state right now. Are you finding that you are able to use this to your advantage by way of obtaining mining services at a cheaper cost than you would have during the "bull" times?
TR: Yes, drilling and assaying costs are significantly lower now than they were a year or more ago.
NI: Whilst Alacrán and the Mesa de Plata/Loma Bonita has had much of your immediate focus, you also have some very promising ground at Promontorio with your Rio Tinto JV. We have't heard much about activity their of late – can you update us regarding a) the recent developments there and b) what we can expect in the next 6 to 12 months?
TR: As I said in the Quarterly, due to the promising results from the aeromagnetic survey, the size of the IP survey was expanded and it is continuing. I can't say any more at this time.
NI:Is there anything else you'd like to tell both existing shareholders and those considering making an investment in Azure Minerals?
TR: When we acquired the rights to Alacran I said that, in my opinion, it was the best underexplored property in Mexico. And I believe the results are showing that that is indeed the case. MDP is a great discovery and I believe that there is excellent potential for finding a lot more precious and base metal mineralisation on the property.
NI: Thanks for taking the time to respond and as a shareholder, I'm looking forward to the next 12 to 18 months. Hopefully the commodities space can see a bit of a sector wide turn around to help things along as well.
So there you have it – a great chat with Tony and some really interesting information there.
The most interesting thing I found from the discussion was the fact that Azure has identified "quite a large area, certainly larger than the MDP ridge" to the north of Mesa de Plata that the company clearly see's as highly prospective – likely due to outcropping of the same vuggy silica unit.
It's also important to note that since our correspondence, Azure has announced it has successfully raised $5.22 million to fund development at Mesa de Plata at just a 7% discount to the current share price. Raising that amount of capital is no mean feat in this stage in the cycle, let alone at such a small discount.
The placement went to a) a large Canadian institutional investor, b) Exploration Capital Partners 2008, an outfit linked with Sprott Inc, a well renowned North American based natural resources investment firm and c) Mark Creasy, an existing major shareholder who is well known Australian prospector, famous for his involvement in the Nove Bollinger Nickel discovery.
The company is now well funded to move forward with developing Mesa de Plata and the surrounding prospective ground.
Azure Minerals initial exploration program at their Alacrán tenement in Northern Mexico has unearthed significant, shallowly dipping, at surface, high grade silver mineralisation. The deposit looks to have all the hallmarks of being very cheap to mine.
In my opinion, there is significant exploration upside to come, with strong in-soil geochemical anomalies already identified across the ridge at Loma Bonita as well as possible feeder structures in the valley between the two. The possibility of looking for the primary source of the mineralised fluids, i.e. a potential porphyry and feeder systems, is also very exciting.
With the recent raising, Azure is well funded for the immediate future and we should see a constant flow of significant news in the near term. With precious metals markets current in an extremely depressed state, Azure is definitely a player that will be highly leveraged to rises in the price of silver when the market finally turns.
All in all I think Azure may be in the process of discovering one of the better exploration finds in recent times. Add in the fact that Azure has a highly dedicated and experienced team, as well as the backing of well renowned prospectors and institutions, and I believe we should see good times for shareholders over the next 12 to 18 months.

Solomon Chevrolet
The Solomon Chevrolet building project was the relocation of a dealership that had outgrown its facility of 50 years. The ambitious project doubled the size of their outdated facility to allow them to obtain additional automobile manufacturer lines and expand their sales volume. The facility is comprised of a two story showroom space with adjacent sales and administrative areas, a large entrance canopy and state of the art service and body shops. The site is on a major thoroughfare so visibility and access were critical to the layout and functionality of the facility.

Solar constant, the total radiation energy received from the Sun per unit of time per unit of area on a theoretical surface perpendicular to the Sun's rays and at Earth's mean distance from the Sun. It is most accurately measured from satellites where atmospheric effects are absent. The value of the constant is approximately 1.366 kilowatts per square metre. The "constant" is fairly constant, increasing by only 0.2 percent at the peak of each 11-year solar cycle. Sunspots block out the light and reduce the emission by a few tenths of a percent, but bright spots, called plages, that are associated with solar activity are more extensive and longer lived, so their brightness compensates for the darkness of the sunspots. Moreover, as the Sun burns up its hydrogen, the solar constant increases by about 10 percent every billion years.

The McIntire family of Kansas was told their son, named Mason, who weighs only nine ounces, has a hole in his heart and an abnormally developed brain. His sister Madilyn weighs more than two pounds, reports WNEM.com.
His only chance of survival would be heart surgery," mother Brittani McIntire says, "but they wouldn't do heart surgery on him because of his brain."
Doctors said Mason — pictured on the left in the photo — had his hand wrapped around the finger of his growing twin sister Madilyn.
"Most twins, when she's trying to take pictures and stuff, they're kicking each other and hitting each other and she said … it seems like she was very protective over him," Brittani added. "I know I'm holding him, I'm carrying him but I just want to be there for him. And knowing she's the only one who can actually be there and holding onto him through it, so it's comforting to know that, if he does pass, he won't be alone."
"We know that we have a piece of them together that will last forever and is special to have," father Ian McIntire says.

Audio makes or breaks a movie – all the best acting in the world is useless when all the audience can hear is that damned wind, right? But yet, you never hear the sound of wind in your local Hoyts (unless it was put there on purpose by the editor). That's because the pros are out there using the right production equipment, and kiwi filmmakers would be wise to follow in their footsteps.
This is where windjammers come in. Let's go through some of the basics of windjammers, and show off some of the models available for use here in New Zealand.
The @RycoteUK ball gag & windjammer are impressive. I fanned as hard as I could but still heard Kardashians on TV upstairs w/o wind noise. pic.twitter.com/04AgPsIpU6

What is a windjammer?
"Windjammer" is the name given to what look like giant fluffy socks for microphones, and the term is most commonly used by brand Rycote. You may also hear soundies in NZ refer to them as windscreens, windshields, deadcats, or even deadkittens (the latter two are colloquial terms, and ones that RØDE uses for its products – hence the common use).
In essence, they are giant fluffy socks, and then some. Windjammers are slipped over the top of microphones during outdoor shooting typically for cutting bassy or fluttery wind gusts, but some of the thicker options are great for reducing the effect of raindrops on the mic, too. They typically come in two styles:
How do windjammers work?
Consider windjammers like giant pop filters – dismantling unwanted noise and letting through what you're hoping to record.
Those unfamiliar with windjammers might be wondering, "But if I cover my mic with a bunch of foam or fur, won't it cut the sound I'm actually trying to record?"
It's true that too much shielding over a mic will start cutting out the higher frequencies, leaving you with a muffled take. However, companies like Rycote have been working on this problem for years, and acoustic transparency is a key component of their products. When turbulent noise strikes the fur or foam, it gets caught and absorbed. But, low-particle velocity noise like actors talking can travel through freely and reach the mic. Consider windjammers like giant pop filters – dismantling unwanted noise (in this case, wind instead of plosives) and letting through what you're hoping to record.
You can expect around 10-20 dB of noise from a light breeze or trees rustling, and 30 dB+ from gusts and gales. Simple foam windshields will work well for the former, and many shotgun mics – such as on-camera variants like the Sennheiser MKE 400 – come built-in with some level of shielding, albeit not brilliant. However, you'll need a blimp and long-fur sock to tackle harsher environments. But if we're honest, it pays to have both options available.
Cyclone & Windjammer Wind Test from Rycote on Vimeo.
What windjammer should I buy?
Companies like Rycote and RØDE offer a windjammer for just about any occasion, meaning you can get precisely the right equipment to suit the mic that you bought. You'll notice quickly when you're shopping for a windjammer that there are many different lengths – it's worth knowing the dimensions of your mic before looking around for prices.
The heavy-duty Rycote Miniscreen and Rycote Miniscreen Windjammer are good options if you're facing nature's worst.
If you typically shoot in what you might call a 'normal' environment (nothing too harsh), consider investing in something like the Rycote Softie (available in 12-18 cm variants). These are slip-on products that are quick to use and can cut up to around 25 dB of noise, depending on the length of fur you buy (30 mm being the longest).
The heavier-duty blimp-style Rycote Miniscreen and Rycote Miniscreen Windjammer are better options if you're facing nature's worst. The blimp on its own can cut around 12 dB of wind noise from a scene, but you could boost that up to 30 dB by chucking the windjammer sock on top. Using the two in combination gives your sound team a lot of room to play with noise reduction.
You're not out of luck if you don't have big shotgun mics, either. The long-furred Rycote Mini Windjammer fits snug over a Sennheiser MKE 400 to beef up its foam, and the Rycote Reporter Mic Foam works well over hand-held reporter-style mics up to 35 mm wide and 50 mm long.
And we've only just scratched the surface here. There are plenty more options for RØDE lovers, and Sennheiser also stocks options. You can even get foam and fur variants for lapel mics, so if you're not sure what you need, the best thing you can do is pop in to DVT or contact the team today.

Chevrolet brought 2017 to a riotous end by revealing the first modern-era Corvette ZR1 convertible at the LA motor show. This is the first ZR1 drop-top since the original 1970 model-year ZR1, and boy, does it pack a punch: 755 horsepower 969 Nm of torque for starters, with the option of having a seven-speed manual transmission or a paddle-shift eight-speed automatic transmission – a first for the ZR1.
Preliminary testing has achieved 0-60 mph in under three seconds and the quarter mile in the high 10-second range when the engine is equipped with the eight-speed automatic.
"The ZR1 convertible is a no-compromise supercar," says Corvette executive chief engineer Tadge Juechter. "Thanks to the strong structure, the suspension tuning between coupe and convertible models is identical, meaning the ZR1 convertible offers the same benchmark performance, including a top speed of over 200 mph."
If you have some cash burning a hole in your pocket after celebrating the festive season, the ZR1 convertible will start at $123,995.

Lac/Athabasca Coming to Fredericton!
We're delighted to announce that after performance runs in Vancouver and Toronto, our current show, Lac/Athabasca by Len Falkenstein, will soon be staged in Fredericton for the very first time!
Our production will be mounted in cooperation with Fredericton's NotaBle Acts Theatre Company, with support from The Canada Council for the Arts, and will be staged at Memorial Hall, UNB, Wednesday, October 14 through Saturday, October 17, with performances at 7:30 PM nightly.
Lac/Athabasca is a play that takes audiences on a thought-provoking and emotional cross-Canada journey from the Rocky Mountains to the East Coast. Set both along Alberta's Athabasca River and in a small town in northern New Brunswick, the play was inspired by the train derailment tragedy that occurred in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, in 2013 as well as the social, environmental and economic impact of the Alberta oil sands and the ongoing debate over oil production and transportation in Canada.
Earlier this year, Lac/Athabasca received the Dorothy White Award for Second Prize in Ottawa Little Theatre's National Playwriting Contest for 2015, as well as Second Prize in the Herman Voaden National Playwriting Contest, which is mounted every second year by Queen's University and attracts scripts from many of the nation's top playwrights. The play was selected for production at this August's SummerWorks Theatre Festival in Toronto, one of Canada's most prestigious juried performance festivals, where it attracted national media attention and earned rave reviews, including selections from NOW Magazine as one of its "Best of the Fest" and for "Best Ensemble."
Lac/Athabasca features performances by Jake Martin, Rebekah Chasse, Alex Donovan, Jean-Michel Cliche, and Emily Bosse, who each play multiple roles in the play's several interwoven plotlines.
The play also features an original score by Fredericton musician/composer Eric Hill and visual/projection design by Mike Johnston.
Tickets for the play will be $18 regular, $14 for seniors and underwaged, and $10 students. Tickets are available at the door and can be reserved by calling 506 458-7406 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com
For more information on the Fredericton run of Lac/Athabasca, contact Len Falkenstein at 458-7406 or email@example.com

Licence plate spray clearly making money
Effective or not, invisibility promise attacting buyers
Friday, January 20, 2006
NEW YORK - The Canadian distributors of PhotoBlocker, a transparent spray billed as making licence plates invisible to traffic cameras, are hoping to cash in on new wrangling over its effectiveness.
A New York politician is so convinced the product helps drivers run red lights with impunity, he has tabled legislation in the state assembly to ban it.
Peter Rivera, a Democrat from the Bronx, says the loss of revenue could top US$1-million a year, money that could be re-invested in traffic safety.
"I believe [the spray] works. I was [shown] pictures and we've seen that it works," he said. "There is a blurring ... after you use this stuff."
But his campaign has sparked more publicity for PhotoBlocker, launched in 2001 by PhantomPlate of Harrisburg, Penn.
"When people read that an assemblyman says, 'Yes, we're losing money,' then the product becomes much more in demand," said Joe Scott, a company spokesman.
PhotoBlocker acts like a mirror when a flash-assisted camera snaps a coated licence plate, says the manufacturer. The aim is to white out the plate, making it impossible for authorities to identify the vehicle. But since PhotoBlocker is also clear, the licence plate can be read normally, which jurisdictions require by law.
Mr. Scott says the company has sold 500,000 cans worldwide.
"The key to our success is we have been independently tested by the Denver Police Department, by Dutch and South African police departments, and by Swedish and Australian TV," he said.
Canadian dealers say sales remain steady as they mimic their U.S. counterparts in citing the favourable test results.
"Sales spike when they start talking about legislation to bring in more cameras," said Matthew Haistc, 30, of Calgary.
Another Calgary-based dealer Warren Wiberg, 43, also said he is tapping into driver frustration.
"I don't condone breaking the law, but there are people getting $260 tickets when they're trying to get to work," he said.
"They're going through a sluggish intersection with snow or sleet on the ground, and these machines -- it's been documented -- have lowered their yellow-light times to generate more revenue."
Canadian officials say they post signs warning motorists cameras may be present.
"Unless you can find some backwoods place in the Southern states -- Dukes of Hazzard-type stuff -- that would [shorten yellow lights], highway safety is the paramount interest of any recognized law-enforcement agency," said Sergeant Brian Bowman of the Toronto Police Service traffic services division. The cameras are "not out there to trick people."
Along with other Canadian police officials, he is skeptical about the spray's effectiveness.
"It's snake oil," he said, citing evidence presented at traffic control seminars for police in Ontario showing how the spray can be rendered ineffective.
Calgary police tested the spray in 2001, and Sergeant Clive Marsh of the department's Specialized Traffic Enforcement section personally retested it last year.
"I took one of my police vehicles and sprayed the plate according to the directions, giving it a couple of extra coats," he said. "Overall, we found that the plates were actually enhanced."
Mr. Haist, who believes he was Canada's first dealer, says he has sold 2,500 cans in the last two years, while. Mr. Wiberg began selling the product just a few weeks ago. Both operate from Web sites where a can costs just under $30.
"I tested the product with friends," said Mr. Haist. "We were careful, but we ran red lights at intersections with cameras, and we did not get tickets."
Officials say illegible licence plates show up on anything from 10% to 40% of photos, with snow, dirt or turning vehicles accounting for most of the failure.
"If there were photos turning up blurred in large numbers, that would look quite different, but we haven't noticed that," said Les Kelman, director of the Toronto Traffic Management Centre, which helps oversee traffic-light cameras in several Ontario cities.
In British Columbia, PhotoBlocker doesn't work because cameras take photos from an angle.
"They are set like that because we have highly reflective licence plates," said RCMP Corporal Lloyd Holtzman of the Traffic Services Unit.
Officials operating Ontario's toll 407 highway say their cameras can't be fooled by the spray because they don't use flashes, but a continuous light.
"Flash cameras are just too costly to maintain because the bulbs burn out," said spokesman Dale Albers. "So you'll still be getting your bill in the mail."

I do not know, and nor does anybody else, whether, and if so to what extent, material of this kind tends to reinforce feelings or disperse them. The imitative effect, if any, can hardly be very straightforward; very few unhappy men in dirty raincoats would be able to afford the settings in which the models are mostly portrayed (though a closer look makes clear that the lush surroundings are essentially cheapjack, and the level of sophistication pitifully low), and fewer still to match the physical agility demanded without running the risk of a slipped disc or a hernia. But that is, perhaps, the point. For if you take away the surface impression of the pictures, and the relentless throbbing and shoving of the words, you are left with a residue that, even if it has no lasting effect on the readers, is unmistakably composed of a deep, inevitably aggressive, desire to degrade woman. Not women, let alone beautiful women or ugly ones, ready ones or reluctant ones, feminine ones or feminist ones, but the very essence and nature of womankind. I do not believe it is possible for a man, whether a detached intellectual, an homme moyen sensuel, a lecher or a moron, to read through this material and not feel immersed in the hatred of the female sex that it exudes. A man may feel it, as I did, with horror, or with satisfaction, or with lust; but one who claims that it isn't there is deceiving himself.
The Labor Party's new Consumers' Charter includes a promise to restrict or even ban advertising, which relies on the 'degrading' portrayal of women. You wouldn't think that even the Labor Party could get something as wrong as that; the whole point of the advertisements that are denounced is precisely that they do not degrade women, they falsely and impossibly glamorize them. Women in advertisements are always beautiful, and they are seen lying in luxury on sunny beaches, or reclining on the bonnets of very expensive motor-cars, or sipping exciting drinks in the company of handsome and well-dressed men, or sweeping into stately homes in beautiful gowns. I don't know whether the Labor Party's promise is to be taken seriously (I imagine not), but if they suppose that advertisers could use Miss Frances Morell to sell their products, they are greatly mistaken.
Now the Page Three girls are the same, mutatis mutandis, as the girls in the advertisements. So far from being portrayed as the degraded, infinitely exploitable, invariably available creatures of the pornographer, they are all romantic princesses, fairy creatures whom nobody has ever met in real life and who would crumble into powder at a touch. They are also unattainable and perhaps one of the reasons men try to increase the size of their penis using extenders such as ProExtender.
Of course, those Members of Parliament (almost all Tories) who sniggered and winked and licked their lips and belched when Mrs. Clare Short introduced her Bill to ban Page Three are so many pigs, and displayed all the characteristic signs of the half-man who needs to convince himself of his sexual prowess because he fears that he cannot convince anybody else. But they did not prove that Mrs. Short was right.
And yet I have to admit that I am not certain she was wrong. I think she was, because the distinction between the breasts on Page Three and those in Penthouse seems clear to me. There is a clue in the fact that the Page Three ones, and the ones in the advertisements, frequently raise a smile – a happy smile, not a contemptuous one – in the men who look at them, and the girls themselves are portrayed smiling almost without exception. But no one could raise any kind of smile in contemplating the pornographer's women, and in the 450 pages of the stuff that I have waded through, I could find only two or three smiling faces among many hundreds. Pornography, it seems, is no laughing matter, despite the advertisements for penis pumps like Penomet. But I do not know. I do not know what causes violence against women, contempt for women, indifference to the feelings or aspirations of women. I do know that the pornography I have so recently studied, whether it does harm or not, shames our world, not for the explicitness of its sexual matter but for its attitude to women. The need for such material betokens a desperate emptiness in the men who buy it, the provision of it a no less desperate deadness of feeling in those who sell. Such desperation, whatever it may issue in, cannot be healthy, cannot be on the side of life. Perhaps Blake was wrong; it is not the harlot's cry that will weave old England's winding-sheet, but the pornographer's. For my part, I can only conclude by saying that it will be a very long time before I can shake off the feeling that in examining those magazines I had peered into a sulphurous abyss, and it may be even longer before I can look at Page Three with the same eyes as before I did so.

Sacramento Kings Summer Roster
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Sacramento State center Eric Stuteville, who recently completed his fourth and final season with the Hornets, is on the Sacramento Kings final summer league roster and will leave for Las Vegas with the team today for the NBA Summer League.
Stuteville, a 6-foot-11 center, will wear jersey #88 for the Kings. He could become the first Sacramento State player in program history to play a minute in the NBA Summer League, and will already be the first to appear on an NBA roster during summer league play.
The NBA Summer League takes place July 7-17 at the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion on the campus of UNLV. The Kings will play at least five games, beginning with their first contest tomorrow (Friday, July 7) against the Phoenix Suns at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN2. A record 24 NBA teams will compete in three preliminary round games from July 7-11 before being seeded in a tournament running through the championship game.
ESPN will present all 67 games from Las Vegas across ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and the ESPN App, including 35 games on its linear television channels. NBA TV will also air 28 contests. The Kings will play on NBA TV on both Sunday vs. Memphis at 7 p.m., and Monday vs. the Lakers at 7:30 p.m.
One of three players to start all 31 games for the Hornets in 2016-17, Stuteville averaged 11.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.5 blocked shots and 26.8 minutes per game while shooting .632 (141-223) from the field. That field goal percentage was the best mark in Sacramento State single-season history. He scored in double figures 20 times, including six of the final seven games of the season
Among Big Sky leaders, the team tri-captain ranked second in field goal percentage, blocks per game, offensive rebounds per game (2.9), and 10th in rebounds per game. In conference play, he bumped his numbers to 13.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 28.8 minutes per game
The local product from Orangevale (Casa Roble High School) became the first center in school history to score 1,000 career points and finished his four-year career with 1,013 points. He owns the school record for most games played (125) and finished with 149 blocked shots, just three shy of the school record.
Stuteville ranks among the Hornets' top 20 players in 12 different statistical categories, including first in games played, second in blocks, tied for second in starts (91), fifth in rebounds (558) and blocked shots per game (1.2), tied for fifth in field goal percentage (.562), sixth in free throw attempts (368), 12th in minutes (2,599) and 14th in scoring. The 149 blocks were easily the most in the team's Div. I era (1991-pres.) and Stuteville never missed a game during his four-year career.
Stuteville graduated from Sacramento State in May with a sociology degree.

Um, all these images I made myself from free textures I'd found on the internet. So please don't bogart or leech them. Also, note: I didn't use a 3d program to make the rooms either. Also, I'll soon use my godlike powers and a little bit of easy manipulation to make more levels, getting progressivly larger! Also, features I plan on using include: keys, teleporters, random battles, and more interactivity! But that's to come.
Oh well. I hope you have some fun.

Weather Daze
By Dr. Andrew Derocher
Another weather day in Ulukhaktok. The sun is shining but the wind is screaming across the ice. Nonetheless, we have things to do. Our most recent adventure involved fetching ice for water from a nearby lake. While the houses in town have a water truck delivery service, the research house we're staying in doesn't have plumbing. Ironically, we have access to borrowed wireless Internet thanks to our generous neighbour, Brad Carpenter, but things water-wise are rudimentary.
An intrepid local, Harold Wright, taught us the fine art of chipping ice blocks. Sound simple? Well, it's all about technique. You might think brawn, but in this process, it's all about finesse. First, you have to find a good clear crack, then give it a sharp repeated hit with a hatchet in the exact same spot. You'll see the ice split down deep and if you keep at the right spot, you'll crack off a good 10-20 pounds of ice.
After successfully chipping ice blocks, we loaded up the truck and made our way back to the cabin. We managed to fill our 45 gallon drum. With luck, our stack of ice will keep us in good order for some days ahead.
Now if only we could figure out how to change the weather! Humans are managing to change the climate, but that's different from the weather. Mind you, it's far warmer today that it's supposed to be. I still like the definitions a climatologist gave to me many years ago: "Weather is what you see when you look out the window, but climate is what you expect to see." I know what I'd like to see, but maybe in a couple of days ....

At this point I will take a look and assess each game that I observed on Labor Day Weekend when St. Lawrence, Mount Pearl, Holy Cross and Marystown fought to win NL's Senior Men's Soccer Championship.
Game 1 was a match-up of Mount Pearl, who finished 1st, and the Laurentians, who placed 2nd, in Round 2. This game was originally scheduled for Friday evening but due to inclement weather the game was rescheduled for Saturday. When the game began, immediately you could see the players slipping and sliding when then were chasing and kicking the ball. At the 5 minute mark, the Laurentians opened the scoring when Adam Loder headed the ball towards the Mount Pearl goal. The goaltender fumbled as he appeared to slip and the ball found its way into the back of the net, giving the Laurentians a early 1-0 lead. This lead was short lived as Mount Pearl's most dangerous forward, Ryan Caines, took a direct shot from about 30 yards out at the 8 minute mark. Caines, accurate but delicate, found the back of the net as the Laurentians goalkeeper seemed to have very weak footing on the slippery field, making the score 1-1. Three minutes later the Laurentians', Rudy Norman, gave St. Lawrence a 2-1 lead as he put in a rebound of a shot that Gerald Connolly failed to grab. For the remainder of the first half both teams were intense and a high level of soccer was being displayed by both clubs. But it was the duo of Norman and Richard Kelly that dominated the Mount Pearl defense. John Kelly's assignment to play man-on-man against Rudy Norman left the middle wide open. This allowed Richard Kelly to toy with Gord Ryan and it appeared it was only a matter of time before this duo would destroy Mount Pearl. This devastation occurred early in the second half as Richard Kelly let a long blast go on Gerald Connolly. Connolly could only manage to wave at the ball, giving St. Lawrence a 3-1 lead. This goal at the 48 minute mark distressed Mount Pearl and, for the remainder of the game, the Laurentians gave Mount Pearl a clinic in soccer as they held onto their lead.
Game 2 was a match up against the up and coming Holy Cross squad and the defending 2004 Challenge Cup Champions, Marystown United (the winners of Tier 2). Most experts had predicted that Holy Cross would prevail in this contest. The game opened with two early misses by Holy Cross. Then both teams went at each other and it was a super shot at the 9 minute mark, which was taken by Patrick Fewer 20 yards out that opened the scoring. This goal was a beauty and it also let the youngsters on the Holy Cross team realize this game was not going to be a free ride to the semi-final. Marystown and Holy Cross continued to battle it out for the first half and if it were not for the cross bar on two occasions late in the first half Marystown would have added to their lead.
The second period saw Marystown go into a defensive shell. The United led by goalkeeper Scott Edwards and his fullbacks Craig Edwards, Vinny MacDougall, Colin Power and Chad Chislett, set up a protective wall. Marystown were pressured to remain in their own zone for most of the period. Holy Cross, in the second period, led by their young scoring ace John Hawco, kept running and attacking. In the last 15 minutes of the game they peppered Marystown. With luck and a great defense Marystown managed to hold on to a 1-0 victory.
When the game started I began to sense that Mount Pearl's opening loss to St. Lawrence had cased the players to lose their confidence and the coaching staff to second guess themselves. This was very evident when I saw Kevin Oram starting in the center back position with John Kelly. Oram had played very little all season. Meanwhile the United team seemed to be much more poised. From the opening whistle Marystown were winning the majority of the 50/50 balls. Peddle had been added to their starting lineup and this move would further strengthen Marystown's defense. Marystown's early aggressive approach gave them a 1-0 lead. Mid-way in the period, Nick Hurley, an erratic-style forward, scored on a beautiful header that Darrell Steward passed over from the right wing position. This goal would remain to be the difference in the first half.
The fact that Mount Pearl had fallen behind even caused more turmoil and confusion for them in the second half. Coach Walt Mavin constantly took out some of his starters and brought in his alternates hoping one of them would do the job for him. I heard Mount Pearl's fans openly complain about the fact that Ryan Caines and Bernie Manning were relegated to the bench when they were in dire need for a goal. This season, these two players had scored a total of 23 goals between them. In the meantime Marystown continued to play a very strong defensive system and did not allow Mount Pearl one quality scoring opportunity for the entire game. This game also ended in as a 1-0 score for Marystown and this victory can be contributed to a very solid team effort put forward by the players and how Coach Mel Stacey subbed his played during the game.
Who would have thought that in 2005 we would have a repeat of last year's two finalists?
Not me, for sure! Yes, I felt St Lawrence would be there but not Marystown. I guess that's the beauty of sports. St. Lawrence was there because they have a great soccer team and have league MVP, Richard Kelly. Marystown were in the finals because of sheer guts and determination. It was Richard Kelly who would open the scoring for the Laurentians at the 34 minute mark giving them a 1-0 lead. Richard took the ball at the 24 yard line and went around both Craig Edwards and Vinny MacDougall and then let a shot go that left Scott Edwards reaching and looking on in shock as the ball went in the net.
The second period saw Marystown take it to the Laurentians and they were rewarded for their efforts at the 63 minute mark when Craig Edwards blew a shot by John Douglas for a 1-1 score. At that time I wondered to myself, "Is this going to be a repeat of 2004 ?", when Marystown were down by a score of 1-0 at half time and they came out and tied it up in the second period, allowing them to win on overtime on a goal by Mike Wall. As it turned out, Chris Caines scored his third championship game winning goal at the 75 minute mark. His other game winners came in Marystown in 1999 and in 2001 when NL Canada Games Team played the Laurentians in the finals at St. Lawrence. Then at the 88 minute mark Rudy Norman scored from another Richard Kelly setup. This goal gave St. Lawrence a 3-1 victory and returned the Challenge Cup Championship to St. Lawrence, which marks the Laurentians' twentieth Challenge Cup Championship since 1967.
For years I've been saying that Richard Kelly's talents are unparalleled and when it comes to soccer the people of St. Lawrence should vote "King Richard" for Mayor. I've seen Kelly play on top of his game in 1999, 2002 and again this year. He is a very gifted player.
The Laurentians in 2005 will represent Newfoundland and Labrador on Thanksgiving Day Weekend while the rest of the province become cheerleaders hoping for St. Lawrence to bring home GOLD!

Kailasha means 'Paradise of the Gods' and this stunning three-bedroom villa certainly lives up to its name which is located in Tanah Lot. Villa Kailasha rests upon an expansive beachside property in Bali's fertile Tabanan region. Offering a complete escape from the hustle and bustle of Bali's tourist traps, Villa Kailasha charms guests with classic architecture, stylish interiors, lush tropical gardens, modern and comfortable facilities and an extraordinary amount of private space.
The villa's comfortable living pavilion, a stand-alone dining pavilion and a separate dining terrace all stand open to the gentle trade winds and dramatic ocean views. With its series of single-storey pavilions leisurely spread across the breadth of a terraced coconut grove garden, its elegant interiors and its blend of modern, antique and Dutch-colonial-inspired furnishings, colourful fabrics and artwork, Villa Kailasha embraces contemporary-tropical style. The huge garden rolls down to a dazzling 14-metre infinity-edged swimming pool bordered by a stone and grass deck with an open-sided gazebo to one side, and spectacular views of the rugged surf beach and the ocean, which is a mere three minutes' walk from the villa's front gate.
A team of polite, thoughtful staff, including an in-house cook, are on hand to look after every need. Meanwhile, guests are free to escape to a secluded nook to read, rest and relax, or sip cocktails while gazing from the poolside gazebo at the orange glow of another glorious Bali sunset. Villa Kailasha is ideal for a family or a small group of friends, while its manicured lawns are perfect for weddings and other celebrations against the awesome backdrop of the sea.
Master suite
Villa Kailasha's spacious air-conditioned master suite is furnished with a king-size bed, comfortable armchairs and a cushioned window seat, and equipped with a satellite-channel TV. Guests will relish the garden, pool and ocean views, which are also reflected perfectly in a wide mirror above the bed. A huge ensuite bathroom with walk-in rain shower and bathtub looks into a private garden with additional outdoor shower. Glass doors lead from the vanity area to a plunge pool within a private garden courtyard, complete with thatched balépavilion furnished with a table and two chairs.
A pair of almost-identical air-conditioned guest suites – set well away from the other buildings and positioned within a private, semi-walled courtyard around an ornamental pond – offer a peaceful retreat for a family or two couples. Both suites revel in an abundance of space, each accommodating a bedroom with a king-size bed and satellite TV, and ensuite bathrooms with walk-in rain showers and bathtubs alongside picture windows that frame a private flower-filled garden.
Presiding over the graceful gardens, Villa Kailasha's splendid living pavilion is so big that it provides a choice of three discrete sitting areas before extending onto a wide, partially-sheltered stone terrace fringed by ponds. From here, you can survey the pool and ocean, enjoy alfresco meals at a teakwood table for eight on the terrace, or gather to watch movies on the large flat-screen TV.
A small guest kitchen is tucked away adjacent to the living pavilion. It is equipped with an oven and gas hob, a large fridge, a microwave, and a coffee machine. The villa's main kitchen is located behind the villa and is fully fitted with a professional range and everything that the cook needs to prepare delicious meals and beverages for guests.
More soft breezes and cool garden views set the tone in the dedicated dining pavilion, which rests in a courtyard and is linked to the main living pavilion by a short pathway. This is the perfect venue for a convivial lunch that could segue effortlessly into a more formal dinner for 10. Here, a simple open-sided design, a soaring roof and a neutral aesthetic ensures that nothing detracts from the tropical surroundings, the food, and one's companions.
The expansive garden provides an astonishing setting for a wedding, showcasing beautifully manicured lawns dotted with coconut palms and flowering frangipanis. On the far side, positioned well away from the house and bordered by a grass-and-paving-stone chequerboard terrace, is the infinity-edge swimming pool, and next to this is a lazy, breezy gazebo – the obvious spot for devouring a book, enjoying afternoon cocktails at the table, or taking a snooze on the deep mattress. And what better place could there be for a relaxing massage or a rousing yoga session than the pool-gazebo's upper deck, which embraces an awe-inspiring picture of the sunsets and ocean waves.

Cuvier's Beaked Whale
Class: Mammalia
Order: Cetacea
Suborder: Odontoceti
Family: Ziphiidae
Genus: Ziphius
Species: cavirostris
Common names: Cuvier's Beaked Whale; Goose-beaked whale
Irish Name: Míol mór socach Cuvier
Key Identification Features
Max body length: 23 ft
Average body length: 20 ft
Blow: Slightly forward and to left, inconspicuous
Head: Gently sloping forehead
Beak: Indistinct (less distinct with age)
Dorsal Fin: Small, falcate
Colouration: White, beige to brown. Colour varies according to location, sex or age. Older animals almost white.
Markings: Upper side can be almost white in front of dorsal fin. Swirling patterns typical of many animals. White or cream on underside and sides.
Often leave marks from teeth
Field Identification
The dorsal fin is often the first feature seen at sea and is set far back on the body. The head is usually small and pale, visible only when sighted close up when the animal is surfacing from a deep dive or surfacing to breath before deep diving, when they may also steeply arch back and lift flukes. Colour variations are common, light brown to grey or white in older animals.
Species Similar in Appearance
The beaked whales are among the most difficult to tell apart, thus the cuvier's can easily be confused with almost any other beaked whale, and perhaps the bottlenose whale and minke whale.
Although rarely seen, these whales have been known to breach and occasionally approach boats.
Status and Distribution
Distribution is known mainly form strandings and a few sightings. Cuvier's beaked whale appears to be one of the most abundant and widespread of the beaked whales. It has a very broad range in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, but is apparently absent from Polar waters. It is encountered around oceanic volcanic islands with some regularity.
Where and When Best Seen in Ireland
Although rarely seen alive, they are the most frequently recorded beaked whales in Ireland. Between 1901 1995, 21 individuals washed up along our coast, an average of just 1 every 4 years. In 1997, two were recorded. But in nine days in March 2000, three washed up dead on Irish beaches, two in Co. Clare and one in Co. Sligo. Then on May 1st 2000 a fourth washed up at Ballyferriter, Co. Kerry. The IWDG raised the possibilities of these unusual stranding events being linked to offshore seismic surveys along the west coast.
They may occur in numbers over the Atlantic continental shelf - most records Jan to March and June to September.
Food and Feeding
Cuvier's are a deep diving animal. It is thought they feed primarily on squid
Reproduction and Life Cycle
Too little is known about their life history to comment.
Social Structure
Although information is very scarce it is thought that Cuviers beaked whales live in family groups of up to 25 individuals. A typical group size would be 5 7. Single animals are thought to be old males.
