A trip that takes in the charming highlands where
coffee is grown, to the fishing villages of the coast and ending in the
ancient trade town of Hoi An. This trip runs Saigon to Hoi An.
Take in the majestic highland town of Dalat, the misty pine forests, and
then descend to the coast where fishing villages exist in the same
manner that they have done for generations. Ride the picturesque coast
all the way to the heritage listed town of Hoi An and see a side of
Vietnam that not every traveller will get to experience. All this in
seven days with minimal time if any in the car.
A short flight takes us to Dalat where we explore the colonial-era architecture and the more recent additions. After enjoying the temperate highlands, we descend to the sub-tropical environment of the coast, where we ride from the most famous beach town all the way up through the farming and fishing towns along the coast to Hoi An.
For the most part, this is a coastal ride, but there is no better way to start a coastal ride than with a fun downhill. The coastline itself is a picturesque variety of windy roads around headlands and sand dunes where colourful fishing boats bob at their moorings. Hoi An is the perfect place to finish a ride and features not only a historically significant, world heritage listed town, but also a lovely beach and some amazing food.
Peak Season Surcharge
For tours commencing from Dec 18 to Jan 4 there is a peak season surcharge of 10% on the price of this tour due to hotel rate increases at this time of year.

The hotels we use are a great, and sometimes unexpected, part of this tour. In the larger cities and established tourist centres we use stylish and supremely comfortable hotels and resorts, while in the smaller and more out of the way areas we stay in the best available accommodation, which is often simple yet always well run, clean and comes with air-conditioning and a private bathroom.

An experienced English speaking, local leader will host you on this trip who is well spoken, very well informed, and charming. Our leaders are often cited as being the main highlight of the tour. We use local leaders who have a passion for their country and are always well informed on topics ranging from history, politics, cuisine and importantly local customs and cultures.

An air conditioned backup support vehicle is always available in case you want a break from riding, and to carry your luggage.

Tour Itinerary
for Highlands & Coast of Vietnam
Fly to Dalat, Day Ride
25km cycling
We start off with a morning flight from Saigon to Dalat. After lunch and a briefing, we take to our bikes to explore. The character of Dalat is still very much intact. It was a popular place with the French during colonial times due to the climate, but has since become even more popular among middle class Saigon folk, heading for the romantic cool of the hills. The area is known for some of the best coffee in Asia. We take an exploration ride of Dalat cycling on sealed roads and unsealed trails to see pine forests, flower gardens and coffee plantations. Meals: LD
Cycle to Nha Trang
75km cycling
Today we are in for a great ride as we cycle from the highlands to the sea. Our journey has both ascents and descents eventually leading all the way to sea level, along quiet secondary roads. We drive some of the distance to ensure we arrive in Nha Trang with time to spare for the beach and perhaps the brew pubs that have popped up, serving excellent craft beer. Meals: BLD
Train to Quy Nhon
It's a day off the bikes today with the morning free to explore Nha Trang, relax by the pool, along beach, or to try your hand at one of the many activities along the water front.
After lunch we board the train for a fun, slow journey by rail up the coast. This is a much more relaxed way to travel than by road and the scenery includes beaches, villages, rice fields and mountains. Most of the other passengers are Vietnamese and the buffet car is a good place to strike up some conversations with the locals. We arrive Quy Nhon early evening, transfer to our hotel and then enjoy dinner in town. Meals: BLD
Cycle to Tam Quan
75km cycling
The coastal cycling journey begins today as we leave Quy Nhon on a quiet back road along a sand dune peninsula with great views back over the bay and the mountains. We see lots of coast today as we undulate along the well made road with friendly villagers waving and cheering us on. We take a short drive at the end of the day to get us into the tiny village of Tam Quan. Meals: BLD
Cycle to Quang Ngai
85km cycling
A varied and highly enjoyable day lies ahead of us. We spend the morning riding along the coast then head inland to see a great new level of variety. We cross rivers on small bamboo bridges and pass farmers tending to rice fields and water buffalo. Our home for the night is Quang Ngai, a small city of little note, but a comfortable hotel, a pleasant river view and an abundance of cold drinks make up for any lack of notoriety. Meals: BLD
Cycle to Tam Ky
96km cycling
We start today with a visit to one of Vietnam's more sobering sites, the My Lai Massacre Memorial. A tragic event occurred here, that once exposed, became a turning point in American public opinion towards the American-Vietnam war. We continue along the coast for a while, then head inland again and enjoy more fantastic riding through the villages. We enjoy a lunch of the freshest seafood possible and stay this evening in a pleasant small scale hotel. Meals: BLD
Cycle & Boat to Hoi An
55km cycling
A visit to the hero mother statue is an insight into the past. The hero mother in question was a lady who lost 11 sons, her husband and her grandson to the American-Vietnam conflict. This story underscores the terrible losses suffered by all people involved in war. From here, we ride dirt roads through sleepy fishing villages with friendly faces popping out to say hello. Duck and chicken farms are also present through today, so we can stop and learn a little about this particular means of income generation. We then take a boat ride to reach Hoi An, a fitting way to enter this ancient port town and to conclude our adventure. Meals: BL
What's the Riding Like?
Mostly flat terrain
6 days riding
411km distance
This tour is rated 'Moderate' for difficulty. Apart from the existence of a couple of days that are just a touch short of 100km, the riding is achievable for anyone who rides regularly as a commuter or recreationally on the weekends. Most of the roads are paved back roads with minimal traffic. We encounter only a couple of dirt roads and these are not hard riding at all. There are often sea breezes to keep the temperature down a little. There are a few other small hills, but we always return to sea level, so the up is a nice trade off for the down. There is a support vehicle on hand at all times so if you need a break or a lift up the hill just jump in the van and relax.
Being 1650km from north to south Vietnam's seasons vary across the country, making it a year round destination. This also means that you will probably encounter some rain if you are travelling extensively, regardless of your month of travel.
Northern Vietnam (Hanoi & Ha Giang) is cold in the winter months (Nov-Mar), and can be damp and misty, although there are also beautifully sunny days at this time of year.
The central region (Hoi An, Hue & Nha Trang) is wettest from September to December with occasional typhoons, which can occasionally disrupt travel.
The south experiences the regular Southeast Asian monsoon between June and October, with dry sunny weather from November to April. December and January are the coolest months with temperatures rising during April and May leading to the onset of the rains.
Extend Your Stay

What our guests tell us...
Just a selection of our great reviews!
The ride was absolutely fantastic. Easily the best part of my 3 week trip to Vietnam. It was my third ride I have done with Grasshopper and the first multi day ride. I was looking forward to it after my previous experiences with the company and I definitely was not disappointed. We had a fantastic group of people, the staff looked after us so well and we saw parts of Vietnam that we wouldn't have seen otherwise.
The support from Grasshopper tour guide, back up mechanic and bus/truck drivers was amazing. Looked after our every need and dealt with any issues immediately. The absolute best way to get close to Vietnam culture and see the real Vietnam, not the tourist version
This is my second Grasshopper Tour and it has well and truly exceeded all of my expectations.

Quick hits from Friday's practice
Some quick hits from Friday ...
The Ducks held a short optional practice at Honda Center before boarding a plane to Nashville. About half a dozen players sat out, including veterans Scott Niedermayer, Saku Koivu and Todd Marchant.
Teemu Selanne skated and said he expects to be available for Saturday's game, which would be his first game since he broke a bone in his hand Dec.3.
Where he will play is to be decided as the Ducks have decisions to make in re-arranging their lines. Coach Randy Carlyle wouldn't divulge anything after Thursday's game, and Selanne said he has no idea how it will shake out.
"I haven't checked the hat yet," Selanne said.
For what it's worth, Matt Beleskey remained on the top line for the day's line rushes. The rookie has benefited greatly from playing with Olympians Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry, notching consecutive game-winning goals the past two games.
No matter where or if he's moved, Beleskey's linemates have given him encouragement.
"We talked to him quite a bit and the fact that his game's got to be simple out there," Getzlaf said. "He's a skating center and he can bang. He's doing a great job getting pucks behind the net, and he's scored a couple of big goals."
One player that could be squeezed out upon Selanne's return is Troy Bodie, who played perhaps his best game of the season Thursday night.
Bodie has brought a physical element on a checking line with Marchant and Kyle Chipchura, whom Bodie briefly played with in Hamilton of the American Hockey League.
The line also had some scoring chances against St. Louis.
"I felt real well," Bodie said. "I got in on the forecheck well and created some havoc, I guess. We got some extended time in the offensive zone. That's part of my game I've got to stick with."
Bodie also picked up his first NHL point with an assist on Marchant's empty-net goal.
"Very cool to get on the board and not just have zeros for your career," Bodie said. "It's nice to chip in when you can."
Here were the line rushes, but keep in mind the aformentioned players were missing so this is not fully indicative of a lineup ...
Matt Beleskey-Ryan Getzlaf-Corey Perry
Bobby Ryan-Dan Sexton-Teemu Selanne
Evgeny Artyukhin-George Parros-Ryan Carter
Mike Brown-Troy Bodie-Petteri Nokelainen

In 2017, China to Stimulate Economy with 45 Trillion Yuan Investment in Fixed Assets
On February 17, China Times published an article discussing China's investments to stimulate the economy. According to the statistics that each province has released, the total investment to stimulate the economy in 2017 amounts to more than 40 trillion yuan (US$5.82 trillion). Twenty-three provinces so far have announced their 2017 fixed asset investment targets. Taking into account the provinces that have yet not published their data, the total investment in fixed assets this year will be at least 45 trillion yuan (US$6.54 trillion).
In addition to the large provincial budget targeted for infrastructure investment, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) also announced the latest progress on major investment projects. On February 15, NDRC spokesman Zhao Chenxin said at a press conference that in January, NDRC approved 18 fixed asset investment projects with a total investment of 153.9 billion yuan (US$22.38 billion). These projects are concentrated mainly in water conservancy, transportation, and energy fields.
Beijing Fushengde Economic Consulting Firm Chief, Economist Feng Delin, told the China Times reporter, "These investments are mainly to cope with the economic slowdown."

Caixin: Former Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang Convicted of a Crime
Caixin reported that, on February 17, Donald Tsang Yam-kuen, the second Chief Executive of Hong Kong after China took over, was convicted of a crime.
He faced three charges and was found guilty on the second charge, misconduct in public office. Tsang had deliberately concealed his plans to lease a three-story penthouse from Wong Cho-bau at the same time that Wong's company was filing several applications with the Hong Kong government, including one for a digital audio broadcasting license. Wong's applications were approved.
On February 22, the Hong Kong court sentenced Tsang to 20 months in prison. The Judge said that the sentence should have been a 30-month prison term, but he gave Tsang a 10 month reduction because of his 40 years of public service.

People's Daily Online: Washington Expected to Gauge China's Response to U.S. Aircraft Carrier Entering South China Sea
Global Times, a subsidiary of People's Daily Online published an analysis of the U.S. aircraft carrier and guided-missile destroyer deployed over the weekend to patrol the South China Sea. The analysis appeared on February 20 in the military section of the website of the Chinese Communist Party's official newspaper.
It cited the U.S. Navy's press release issued on February 18 that the USS Carl Vinson carrier entered the South China Sea on Saturday.
The analysis cited an article from Japan Times that China watchers believe Washington intends to gauge the Chinese response and then conduct a more beefed up freedom of navigation operation.
Analysts told Global Times reporters that U.S. warships' patrolling in the South China Sea is different in nature from their entering the adjacent waters of islands in the area. China's navy has maintained a normalized patrol in the waters of the Nansha Islands, also known as the Spratly Islands. It is paying minute to minute attention to see whether US warships will make any risky moves.
The analysis mentioned an earlier report from U.S.-based Navy Times, that, according to several Navy officials, the U.S. Navy is planning fresh challenges to China's claims in the South China Sea. It is sailing more warships near the increasingly militarized man-made islands that China claims as its sovereign territory in order to ratchet up potentially provocative operations in the South China Sea. The military's plans also likely call for sailing within 12 nautical miles of China's newly built islands in the Spratly and/or Paracel islands.
China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said in the routine press conference on February 15, "China always respects the freedom of navigation and overflight of all countries in the South China Sea in accordance with international law, but we oppose those who threaten and harm China's sovereignty and security under the pretext of freedom of navigation and overflight."
Global Times reporters noted that China's Ministry of Defense has made no official response regarding this latest development. Global Times' interpretation is that China is more at ease when confronting U.S. military intimidation coupled with media hype.

Xinhua Published Three Commentaries on Risks from the U.S
Xinhua recently published three consecutive commentaries warning about the "American risks," especially the risks that Wall Street poses. The first commentary is titled "Is Wall Street Brewing a New Crisis?" The article warned that the whole landscape of economic optimism, the appreciating dollar, and a rapidly growing stock market, seems to be déjà vu all over again, just like the days before the last global crisis. People should not underestimate Wall Street's greed. The second commentary pin-pointed the question, "Will Deregulation Trigger a New Crisis?" The commentator suggested that, since President Trump promised deregulation of the financial market along with plans for a tax cut and major infrastructure investments, Wall Street has been enjoying a "rave party." The combined stimulation package could increase the risks to a dangerous level. The third commentary asked, "Why Are the Wounds from the Previous Crisis So Difficult to Heal?" The author quoted the International Monetary Fund (IMF) which stated that the advanced economies responded to the earlier Crisis with public financial stimulation like the Quantitative Easing (QE) policies. These policies introduced high debt, low investment and a fragile financial industry across the globe. The structure of the U.S. financial system originally caused a lack of investment and consumer spending and slowed the recovery from the previous crisis.

We thoroughly enjoyed our village bike tour. Though truly it is more of the outskirts of Paris. It was adorable. You must be up for the challenge of the 10 mile ride. It was not that hilly, but you need to be skilled enough to keep up with the guide in some mild and not so mild Parisian traffic. Worth the time.
October 2014
A fabulous experience cycling the old streets of Paris. I loved every minute and our guide was wonderful. We visited sights I would not have known about and learned many things about this beautiful city. Would recommend this to anyone visiting Paris.
June 2013
Great way to tour some suburbs of Paris. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful.
November 2012
This is a great tour for the price. You get to go off the beaten path and see things that are not on the main tourists lists. Jacque was a great guide - knowledgeable and fun. The ride did have some hills but it is totally do-able for even a beginning bike rider. Do it!

The tour is much different than all other bike tours in the city since it ventures out to the suburbs. Informative and a nice bike tour.

We really enjoyed this tour! Very few hills, and the tour was small, only about 12 of us. We were given lots of great information about the city by our tour guide, Rachel. She did a great job of keeping us all together and making sure we were all enjoying ourselves. My only quibble: do not take riders through narrow poles, crowds, or yellow lights in Paris traffic. There were a few scary moments.
June 2014
A great tour of the Paris Villages! It was lovely to see less touristy parts of the city. Would have been nice to stop at some recommended places during the tour, rather just have them pointed out and perhaps never get back there. Would have fit more in if all commentary did not have to be in French and then translated to English.
July 2013
A nice way of seeing the outer arrondissements in Paris. Stopped at a market and bought some beautiful ripe fruit. No hills on this tour. Leisurely ride.
September 2012
Good length of trip, bikes and interesting guide. Only one thing, a break was included and we could have carried on.

No one expected the consumer watchdogs at trading standards to escape the cuts hitting every other public service.
But the scale of them that has just been announced is beyond shocking.
The average level of cuts to their budgets is 40%, and that's on top of a 45% reduction in staff levels since the last workforce survey five years ago.
Rogue traders must be rubbing their hands in glee, knowing that the chances of them being caught has just been sharply reduced.
And it is not just consumers who will suffer, because when rogue traders flourish, legitimate businesses which play by the rules suffer too.
Leon Livermore, chief executive of the Trading Standards Institute, warned: "We are reaching a level where further cuts are unsustainable."
And John Bridgeman, former director general of the Office of Fair Trading, has branded the cuts "an ill-conceived short-term expedient."
To underline the importance of the service that's now been sacrificed to government economic policy, here are some of the recent hits.
Make the most of them, we're likely to see far fewer in future.
London quack doctor Errol Denton preyed on the desperately sick by claiming that he could cure cancer – a lie that resulted in him having to pay a £20,000 fine last month.
"To give anyone diagnosed with cancer false hope of a simple cure-all is in a twisted class of its own," said Westminster Council Trading Standards manager Sue Jones.
In Wales, trading standards smashed a ring of telesales crooks who posed as Sky staff to flog worthless warranties for satellite equipment.
Jail terms were handed to 14 defendants in February, the longest sentences of four years being given to John Stockting and Paul Delamare, both from Swansea.
They had netted £500,000, targeting elderly victims who "were pounced on with glee".
In September the biggest market raid ever resulted in counterfeit goods including trainers, DVDs and perfume with a street value of £3million being seized in Wellesbourne, Warks. Last month saw the prosecution in Burnley, Lancs, of a convicted paedophile who had set up an illegal sex shop and was given a suspended jail sentence.
Cowboy builders William King and Gavin Findley from Newark, Notts, ripped off park home owners from North Yorkshire to the West Country, using heavies to escort victims to the bank to withdraw payment for roofing work they often never started.
An investigation by Cornwall Trading Standards, sharing intelligence with colleagues nationwide, resulted in 35-year-old King getting six years inside and Findley getting three.
To give a flavour of the range of work done by our consumer champions, here's the latest person prosecuted by North Tyneside Trading Standards – puppy smuggler John Graham, who illegally imported eight terriers worth up to £1,000 each which had not been vaccinated against rabies.
Graham, 66, told an animal health inspector that he was transporting only "one horse and seven trays of lager".
Trading standards has an important role in highlighting scams, not just prosecuting culprits – that's why officers in Surrey recently publicised the case of a 76-year-old who was falling for bogus junk mail lotteries. Sylvia Kneller had already lost £200,000 before the watchdogs stepped in.
Last week I reported the first prosecution of a Microsoft scammer who used cold callers to convince victims that they should pay to have a virus removed from their computer.
The conviction of Mohammed Khalid Jamil was a fantastic victory for the National Trading Standards Crime Team. The worry now must be that there won't be many more like it.

When listening on for the "ended" event on an audio object, it is triggered 2/3 seconds after the audio has finished, Affects ubuntu (lucid)
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit http://pastebin.me/a0146e64ed386da270e51eb7a0893615
2. play song and wait for ended event alert
Actual Results:
Ended event is 2 seconds later
I can't reproduce this with your testcase (there's a delay between the end of sound and the alert appearing, but it seems like 500ms at most), but I do see it with http://flim.org/~kinetik/tests/bug581321/test.html. Each of the files play back to back on OS X, but there's a two second or so delay between each file on Linux.
I happened to catch this in the debugger. It turns out that we're waiting in sa_stream_drain for an unusually long time. While playing back a 1 second audio file, I recorded sa_stream_drain taking 2.5s. Adding debug logging to the alsa-pulse plugin, the pulse_wait_operation on the operation returned by pa_stream_drain is what's taking all the time, so we're stuck waiting on the PA server to respond here.
Created attachment 489087 [details]
Simple reproducer using the PulseAudio client API.
So, now I'm really confused:
Write a second of audio, then immediately call drain and wait for completion:
% time ./a.out 1
write 48000 samples
./a.out 1 0.00s user 0.01s system 0% cpu 2.539 total
Write a second of audio, sleep for 500ms, then call drain and wait:
% time ./a.out 1 sleep
write 48000 samples
./a.out 1 sleep 0.00s user 0.01s system 1% cpu 0.516 total
% time ./a.out 10

% time ./a.out 10 sleep
write 48000 samples
./a.out 10 sleep 0.00s user 0.01s system 1% cpu 0.511 total
Emailed pulseaudio-discuss about this: https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pulseaudio-discuss/2010-November/008189.html
Oh, the sleep cases in comment 3 are bogus, my testcase had a bug in the argument parsing, so that part is a red herring.

Canon EF 100mm F2.8 L IS USM Macro Review
1 Introduction
|2 Next
Back in July, Canon took the distinctly unusual step of announcing a new technological development completely in isolation from any products. The subject was a novel 'Hybrid' optical image stabilization system designed to compensate for two distinct types of camera shake. You can read more about it here, but in essence the stabilizer is different from existing systems, which only detect and correct for changes in the angle the lens is pointing, by also compensating for vertical and horizontal shifts in the position of the lens caused by handshake. This has little benefit at long focus distances, but as the subject gets closer it becomes progressively more important, and in principle offers maximum benefit for macro shooting.
In September the company duly introduced the first lens to feature this new technology, and to no great surprise it turned out to be a 100mm macro. The EF 100mm F2.8 L IS USM Macro joins Canon's impressive short-telephoto lineup as a supplement to (rather than a replacement for) the existing EF 100mm F2.8 USM Macro, and at a significantly higher price. Alongside the latest and greatest IS technology it gains all the usual benefits associated with the premium 'L' badge, including robust, weathersealed build and the use of exotic glass for the correction of aberrations. The optical construction is of 15 elements in 12 groups, including a single ultra-low dispersion glass element, and the 1:1 maximum magnification is achieved at a minimum focus distance of 0.3m.
Canon makes some quite specific claims for the effectiveness of its new IS system, and it's worth looking at these in detail. The stabilizer is supposed to give a 4 stop advantage at longer focus distances, dropping to 3 stops at 0.5x magnification and 2 stops at full 1x magnification. The first of these specs is pretty much par for the course for Canon's current IS lenses, but even with the Hybrid system it's clear that the level of stabilization at close distances is expected to be relatively low (this despite Canon's publicity material claiming that it 'enables photographers to capture stunning close-up shots without the need for a tripod'). So the question potential buyers will surely be asking is whether the blend of features offered by the new lens is sufficiently compelling to justify buying it over the older, but well-regarded non-stabilized 100mm macro.
Headline features
- 100mm fixed focal length; F2.8 maximum aperture
- Macro focusing: 1:1 maximum magnification
- 'Hybrid' image stabilization system for increased effectiveness at close focus distances

Hi everybody
I have a question.
What difference is between DOF distance of EF 100mm Macro vs EF 100mm non-macro in the same aperture F/2.8? Regarding to 1:1 magnification of macro lens.
For instance, if the Macro lens in wide aperture F/2.8 mades 2cm DOF, is the non-macro lens mades same DOF as 2cm in F/2.8(with same condition and same situation)...!?
Best Regards.
crank up the volume and listen to the noise the 100/2.8L macro IS makes in shooting handheld video...
one more thing to compare with lenses, IMHO : the NOISE the lens makes when you shoot video with your DSLR. Not just the noise from autofocus and follow-focus, as there are situations where you don't use follow-focus...but what about the noise the I.S. , Image Stabilization , makes during video in handheld shooting ? I can tell you from personal experience, this lens is HORRIBLE for handheld video noise level from its I.S. !!!! I have the 100/2.8L macro IS USM LOUD-LOUD-LOUD ) and EF-S 55-250 IS II ( non-STM ) ( loud, too, even when IS is turned off ! ) and the newest , EF-S 55-250 IS STM ( total silence, not just silent AF but also silent I.S. ). So if you shoot video with your crop DSLR , handheld with I.S. needed, in a silent area ( e.g. to record birds ) , go for the 55-250 STM ...
I absolutely love this lens as well. It's incredibly sharp. I thought about getting the cheaper non-L Series version but I am glad I spent the extra money on this one.
I love my Macro Photography, l had the Tamron 90mm superb lens for macro and portrait photography, but when l bought the new Canon 100 mm macro with the new hybrid IS. This lens is just superb. If you like your Macro photography and you have the cash buy one.

9:25 a crowd came running. The situation is still volatile. The blind enthusiasm of the crowd constantly places Jesus in the dilemma of compassionately wanting to minister to people's suffering, while not jeopardizing the overarching plan of redemption.
I command you. The spiritual power of Jesus causes the demon to cry out (v. 26). See "Demons" at Deut. 32:17.

Boston Magazine's Steve Annear is Vining The Boston Marathon
With so many news outlets in the area to cover the Boston Marathon, media folks are trying to find new, creative ways to cover the race.
Boston Magazine's Steve Annear may be this year's winner for most creative coverage. Not only is he running the race (which is not that unique for the 118th running of the Boston Marathon), but he'll be doing his best to Vine as much of it as possible.
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
Annear started the maraton just after 11 a.m. and sent out two Vines from the first part of his race.
While the first two Vines were of Annear walking, he seems to have picked up the pace in his later videos.

Johanna Breitenfeld lived a life of caring for others in which a deeply spiritual sense of charity and noblesse oblige were her natural make-up. Whether it was in Nazi-occupied Austria in 1938, when she and her family helped, under great personal danger, those persecuted for racial and religious reasons to escape, or, later, as an exile herself in wartime Britain, working for war refugees and homeless, and after 1945 for 'DP's in post-war Europe, she was always more than just a competent and conscientious welfare lady. Everything she did came from the well-ordered storehouse of a fine mind and a large heart formed in the tradition of the Benedictine virtues of ora et labora.
In 1951 she joined the Austrian embassy in London as head of the social section, newly formed through the intervention of the Austrian Chancellors Figl and Raab, to help the 30,000 Austrian women who worked in the Yorkshire and Lancashire textile mills when Austria was hit by famine, unemployment, continued occupation and the dismantling of factories in the Soviet zone. She was the first to liaison between these foreign workers and their employers and local authorities. There were many problems due to loneliness and inability to communicate in a strange environment to which these young women, mostly peasant girls, had been transplanted. There was a high suicide rate; some ended in mental homes. Johanna Breitenfeld deliberately styled the embassy work a 'service' to differentiate it from the normal bureaucratic functions. Her section was one of the first embassy departments of its kind, and other London embassies followed its example. Although she retired officially in 1966 (she was awarded the Goldenes Verdienstzeichen of the Republic of Austria) she remained in touch with many of her 'proteges' and in 'active service' to the end of her days.
Johanna Schoenborn was born in 1899 at Korompa, near Dolna Krupa, then a Hungarian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (today in Slovakia), the younger of the two daughters of Count Franz von Schoenborn-Buchheim-Wolfstahl and his wife, nee Gabrielle Chotek. The girls were brought up in the remote Burg Schleinitz, then southern Styria, now European Croatia. That widely branched Central European family has not only recently celebrated their 800th anniversary but has remained consistently Katholisch. The Schoenborns and Choteks were great patrons of the arts, respectively employing Tiepolo and sheltering the impoverished Beethoven.
Johanna studied psychology and philosophy at the University of Vienna; the eminent Charlotte Buehler and Rudolf Allers were among her teachers. The soup kitchens of post-First-World-War Vienna provided the first practical application of her studies. While her sister married Prince Pallavicino in Rome, she married, in 1928, a 'commoner', Walter Breitenfeld (1884-1971), whom she had met at the university and who later played a prominent role in Austrian Catholicism as a lecturer in social studies at Salzburg's Catholic University and in vain opposition to the growing pro-Nazi and anti-Semitic trend among Austrian intellectuals in the inter-war years.
Non-Jewish, but high on the Gestapo's blacklist, Walter Breitenfeld managed to escape after the Anschluss: his wife and three small children followed shortly afterwards, pretending to go on a Danube outing. Attache cases were all the belongings they could take with them. But they were able to reach the family's property at Futok, near Novisad (Croatia). In 1939 the Breitenfelds came to England to place their children in English schools and were prevented by the outbreak of the war from returning home.
In London Johanna Breitenfeld was instrumental in the founding of the Austrian Catholic Centre at Brook Green, which is run by Sisters of the Gospel, one of the Austrian Catholic Secular Institutes. She also played a prominent part in promoting the beatification cause of the Emperor Charles, the saintly last Habsburg ruler (1887- 1922). She was a beautiful and intelligent woman, characteristics that marked her formidable personality, a truly grande dame of her generation, one of Austria's best.

I slide the blade across my arm
Breathe a sigh of relief
The pain is now gone
For these few moments that I have to myself
Take me into my special place
Where only good things are dealt
Nothing can harm me here
Nothing can bring me down
Nothing can make the tears
Nothing ever spins around
It's my secret heaven
Where no one can intrude
They gets stopped short at the door
For they don't have and clue
Any clue what they do to me
Every single day
How they are the people that caused my pain
How they are the ones that make me scared
Scared to look myself in the eyes
Because I don't want to see the hurt
See everything that I've done to myself
And how I've tried to turn the blind eye
I've tried to ignore what I've caused myself
And tell myself that this is alright to do
Tell myself that this is a good way to cope
And that things would be worse if I chose another route
I could always choose to end all of this
I could always choose to say "fuck the world"
And cut a vein
….hang myself
…take some pills
But no, I've chosen to hang on
And if it means doing this
Taking this blade
Sliding it across my wrist
It's exactly what I will do
Because when I'm in that special place
I know that I am safe
I know that I have released the pain

Haymarket, Basingstoke
Edward Rushton's chamber work opens its UK tour after being premiered in Zurich in March, directed for The Opera Group by its former artistic director, John Fulljames. Born in Norwich but now based in Switzerland, Rushton is an experienced opera composer. His new piece, scored for just five principals and five instrumentalists – here the excellent Ensemble für Neue Musik Zürich, led by conductor Tim Murray – is technically secure in all departments; it's particularly gratifying to hear vocal lines that so consistently work with, as opposed to against, the human voice.
The drama itself is more debatable. Indian poet Jeet Thayil's libretto boldly presents a scenario about a group of four London-based Islamist terrorists, two of whom eventually succeed in their aim of becoming suicide bombers.
Amid this challenging material, though, comes the intervention of a ghost. Adding huge splashes of colour to the piece, yet also enormous dollops of whimsy, are the appearances of baritone Omar Ebrahim as Babur, the first of the Mughal emperors (1483-1530), known during his lifetime for his writing as well as his military ruthlessness. In his posthumous visitations, however, Babur seems more of a drunk and a pothead, whose carefree philosophy does not persuade the young jihadists – brilliantly drawn by Kishani Jayasinghe, Annie Gill, Amar Muchhala and Damian Thantrey – to desist from their murderous enterprise. The result is weirdly unconvincing, not helped by Rushton's score, which is cleverly written but largely unmemorable.
Rating: 3/5
"We have been thrilled with our mobile app and its capabilities! Not only is it tailored to arts organizations, but it is constantly being updated to include the latest technological features. We also love the At-The-Event feature, and our patrons enjoy this 'behind-the-scenes' experience while they are at the theater. 5 Stars!"

If you routinely have difficulty sleeping, it may be reassuring to know that there are things you can learn regarding how to sleep better. Since getting a good night's sleep is good for your health, (and this is especially true for people who have IBS!), follow the steps below to develop super-healthy sleep habits.

Here's How:

 Maintain a regular sleep/awake routine. Try to put yourself to bed and wake up the same time each day to enhance your body's natural rhythms. Sleeping in on the weekends will make it harder to get up for work on Monday!

 Think about a warm bath. The process of your body cooling down induces drowsiness.

 Practice relaxation exercises before putting yourself to bed. A relaxed body will sleep better.

 Turn your clock away from you. Worrying about what time it is will arouse your brain, rather than help it to quiet down.

 Make sure to wind down your activities prior to bedtime. Reading a book, listening to music, and watching non-arousing television programs will help your body to shift gears toward sleep. Avoid activities that are stressful or stimulating, such as playing video games or trying to balance your budget.

 Turn off the television. It is helpful to make sure that your bedroom is dark and quiet. Essential for getting a good night's sleep is the ability to fall back asleep if awakened during the night. Better to teach yourself how to sleep without relying on the television as a sleep aid.

 Don't eat too close to bedtime. Heavy meals and spicy foods may result in symptoms of heartburn, making it tough to sleep comfortably.

 Exercise regularly, but finish your workout at least three hours before heading to bed.

 Pay attention to your intake of caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol, all of which have negative effects on sleep. Set a cut-off point for caffeine approximately six to eight hours before bed.

 Keep a notebook next to your bed to write down any thoughts or concerns that preoccupy you while in bed. Enter your worries and bright ideas into the notebook to get them out of your head. Remind yourself that you will take care of things after the sun comes up.

 Focus on getting rest not sleep. Worrying about whether or not you are getting sleep is only going to serve to arouse your brain and keep you awake. Focus instead on how nice it is to be in your comfortable bed without any immediate chores or responsibilities.

 Give your brain a job. Counting sheep may have worked in the old days when life was simpler, but today's busy brains need more of a challenge. In your head, tell yourself a story, one that evokes neutral or pleasant emotions. Relive a wonderful event in your life, such as a spectacular vacation or the birth of a child, or imagine yourself strolling along a beautiful beach or an interesting city street.

Sir Alex Ferguson will announce later whether new father Wayne Rooney is excused from Manchester United's Champions League game with CSKA Moscow tomorrow.
Rooney's wife Coleen today gave birth to a baby boy - named Kai Wayne Rooney - at 2.20pm at Liverpool Women's Hospital.
Their spokesman said: "Mother and baby are both absolutely fine. Wayne and Coleen are thrilled with the wonderful addition to their family life."
Strike partner Dimitar Berbatov is also doubtful after taking a blow on the kneecap against Blackburn on Saturday, while Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand (both knee) and Ryan Giggs (hip) have already been ruled out.
Park Ji-sung will not be considered either, with Ferguson confirming the South Korean has been put on a two-week fitness programme after suffering a series of minor ailments.
The good news for Ferguson is that skipper Gary Neville is back from suspension and Scotland star Darren Fletcher will start after a month out with an ankle injury.

What our Customers Say about our Service
"I was very hesitant to use an unknown online process after several bad incidents in the past but I was so very happy with the results. The service was efficient and the contact from staff was fast and courteous. I was reassured when the ladies at GiftbasketsOverseas immediately noted the special delivery address and the fact that it was for my 90 year old Aunties Birthday. Auntie was surprised and teary at receiving such a wonderful basket and flowers. She was overwhelmed and the envy of her peers and fellow residents. Thank you so much for helping me celebrate a special lady. I can't recommend you highly enough.
Nely Freeman - Australia - June 13, 2015
"Very professional to deal with. Received confirmation phone call soon after I lodged the order and the order was fulfilled as requested. Item was identical as described and pictured in catalogue. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to send gifts overseas. "
Dancet - USA - Mar 3, 2011
"I found Gift Baskets Overseas doing an online search and I can tell you - they are fantastic. Our son is overseas in the Czech Republic and I wanted to surprise him for his birthday - 21st - and everything that Gift Baskets said they would do - they did. They went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that this gift was received by my son. It was so important to us and they realized it. I would recommend Gift Baskets overseas for anyone who wants exceptional gifts with exceptional service. And in today's world it is very hard to find businesses along with intelligent customer service that take responsibility and truly care! Thank you so much!!! "
P.T. Lopez - New Zealand - Nov 11, 2010
"My parents live in Israel. My dad did not feel well recently so I decided to send him a gift basket. It was a bit tricky finding a company that delivers to Israel, as I did not want to send just flowers and chocolates. I recently had a bad experience on Valentine's day with another service my boyfriend used, so I took care to do ample research on the net. I found giftbasketoverseas.com and chose the luxury wine and cheese basket. They were so professional and called me within a few hours to verify that I indeed put in the order. My parents got the basket right on time, and were basically knocked off their feet by it's beauty and luxury. So worth it! I will always use this company for future orders. It's so important when it's a gift for you loved ones! Highly recommend this experience for anyone who want to send a gift basket. The variety is also amazing with regards to options on their website. "
