Pack your bags for a summer adventure that goes beyond the book. Follow in the footsteps of great writers and experience the stunning landscapes that inspired them. Bibliophile Joni Rendon, co-author of the new Novel Destinations (noveldestinations.wordpress.com), shares her list of favorite literary hikes with Kathy Baruffi for USA TODAY.
Millay Poetry Trail
"A striking aspect of this trail, which leads through a forest dotted with white birch trees, is the welcoming solitude," Rendon says. "Located on the grounds of Steepletop, the Berkshire Mountains farmstead where Edna St. Vincent Millay lived for 25 years, the moss-covered pathway where she once walked ends at her sun-dappled gravesite." Along the half-mile trail are placards with excerpts from Millay's nature poetry. 518-392-3362; millaysociety.org
The Tennyson Trail
"Poet Alfred Tennyson once said the salty sea air on this windswept isle in the English Channel was 'worth sixpence a pint.' He regularly strolled along the 14-mile footpath above the chalky white cliffs of what is now known as Tennyson Down," Rendon says. "Sweeping vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and mainland England can be found at the base of the Tennyson Monument. Nestled in the woods below is the poet's grand home, Farringford, today a luxurious hotel." www.islandbreaks.co.uk
Beauty Ranch Trail
"Adventure writer Jack London's 1,400-acre California ranch was located on the site of a former winery. This Trail winds for a half-mile through the heart of London's property — now Jack London State Historic Park — past such sites as the cottage (now a museum) where he wrote many of his short stories and novels," Rendon says. "Visit nearby Kenwood Vineyards and sample their Jack London series of wines, vintages made from grapevines that once belonged to Beauty Ranch." 707-938-5216; parks.ca.gov
Walden Pond State Reservation
"Henry David Thoreau put this on the literary map, and he got his wish that the area be preserved as a public park," Rendon says. "To reach the site of the one-room cabin where the naturalist lived for two years, take the Pond Path for a mesmerizing view of the lake he described as 'lying between the earth and the heavens.' Return via the Ridge Path through oak and pine woodlands for a different way to experience Thoreau's beloved refuge." 978-369-3254; mass.gov/dcr/parks/northeast/wldn.htm
Yasnaya Polyana Nature Preserve
"A lane of silver birch trees featured in War and Peace leads to the vast country estate where Leo Tolstoy penned the epic masterpiece," Rendon says. "He regularly went on long walks and horseback rides around this densely wooded property, 112 miles south of Moscow. Several shady foot paths lead to Tolstoy's charming birch bench, the orchard he lovingly cultivated, and his unmarked grave at the edge of a forested ravine." www.yasnayapolyana.ru/english/index.htm
Connemara Farm
"Although his poetry celebrated Chicago and Midwest prairies, Carl Sandburg spent the last 22 years of his life on an Appalachian farm near Asheville, N.C., where his wife raised prize-winning dairy goats," Rendon says. "The sprawling property preserves the poet's antebellum house, rolling pastures and 5 miles of trails through forested woodlands." 828-693-4178; www.nps.gov/carl
The Brontë Waterfall and Top Withens
"The windswept Yorkshire Moors immortalized by the Brontës are one of the most eerily atmospheric places to hike in England," Rendon says. "A 2½-mile walk from the sisters' former home, the Brontë Parsonage Museum, through heather-strewn hills leads to their favorite destination, a gentle waterfall and stream. Rest on the stone slab known as the Brontë chair before walking a mile farther to see the ruins of an isolated farmhouse, Top Withens, the possible setting of Wuthering Heights." www.haworth-village.org.uk
Hyla Brook Nature/Poetry Trail
"The picturesque New England setting that inspired much of Robert Frost's poetry was the Derry farm where he lived for a decade at the start of his career," Rendon says. "Visitors can explore the landscape on the Hyla Brook Nature/Poetry Trail, which leads through the woods behind his white clapboard farmhouse. Two particularly notable sites are the stone-wall boundaries evoked in Frost's poem Mending Wall and the stream he immortalized in HylaBrook." 603-432-3091; robertfrostfarm.org
Rungstedlund Bird Sanctuary
"Just 15 miles north of Copenhagen, get a taste of the Danish countryside on the 14 acres of wilderness adjacent to the centuries-old farmhouse where Karen Blixen, who wrote under the pseudonym Isak Dinesen, penned Out of Africa," Rendon says. "Meander through ancient beech trees while listening for woodpeckers, owls and blackcaps." Thanks to Blixen's efforts, the preserved land is a sanctuary for dozens of bird species. www.karen-blixen.dk
Walt Whitman Trail
"Long Island's busy highways and shopping malls are a world away when you're hiking in these woods dense with oak, maple and beech trees, swaths of mountain laurel, and intriguing facets like wooden fences, and steps built into the sloping trail," Rendon says. "Before setting out, stop by the Walt Whitman Historic Site to purchase a trail map." And as Whitman once did, head for Jayne's Hill, the highest point on Long Island. 631-427-5240; waltwhitman.org

Nationalised banks and regional rural banks conceded to chief minister Prithviraj Chavan's demand for appointing operational credit societies and other institutions as bank business correspondents
Mumbai: To facilitate flow of pre-monsoon credit to farmers in seven districts in Maharashtra where district co-operatives are not operational, commercial banks conceded the state's demand for appointing credit societies as business correspondents, reports PTI.
Six district central co-operative (DCC) banks affiliated to the Maharashtra State Co-operative Bank were prohibited by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from doing business as their net worth went negative earlier this year.
Following the restrictions, farmers of these districts are finding it hard to access credit ahead of sowing for kharif season and there were apprehensions that they would go to private moneylenders.
The prohibited banks include those in Dhule, Nandurbar, Nagpur, Wardha, Osmanabad and Buldhana districts which used to serve seven districts.
To overcome the difficulties, nationalised banks and regional rural banks (which are sponsored by nationalised banks) conceded to chief minister Prithviraj Chavan's demand for appointing operational credit societies and other institutions as business correspondents, a press note released here said.
The decision was taken at the state-level banking committee meeting here today which was attended by representatives from the RBI, top officials of nationalised banks and the chief minister himself.
A total of Rs750 crore has been disbursed to four lakh farmers in the affected districts while Rs500 crore more is yet to be disbursed, the press note said.
At the meeting, Mr Chavan asked the Maharashtra State Co-operative Bank to take lead in facilitating flow of these funds by helping the nationalised banks and RRBs, the statement said.
Maharashtra has targeted a disbursal of Rs24,629 crore towards crop loans this fiscal, the statement said, adding the share of commercial banks has grown up to 55%.

Google said like India, content removal requests doubled from the US in the second half of last year as Ukraine, Jordon and Bolivia showed up for the first time on the list of countries out to have materials removed
New York: Internet search giant Google has reported a sharp rise of 49% in online content censorship from India as it said the trend of blockage were increasing from governments round the world, more surprisingly from Western democracies, reports PTI.
Google Inc said it had received more than 1,000 requests from governments around the world in the second half of last year to take down items such as YouTube videos and search listings, and it complied with them more than half the time.
The Internet giant said political comments were a prime target as the number of requests for the company to remove content from the reach of Internet users jumped manifold.
"We noticed that government agencies from different countries would ask us to remove political content that the users had posted," a top Google official said.
He said the number of content removal requests received by Google in India was 49% higher in the second half of last year than in the first six months.
But the requests made by New Delhi were not released in the company's transparency report made public yesterday.
Google reported that it went along slightly more than half of the approximately 1,000 requests it received to remove material or links.
The Google report does not provide insights from countries such as China, where tight Internet controls allow blocking of content.
The net blockage request from governments ranged from satires on military Generals in Pakistan, request from UK police officers to terminate six YouTube videos for terror contents and SOS for removal of as many as 149 videos for allegedly insulting the monarchy in Thailand.
Google said Pakistan's Ministry of Information of Technology asked it to remove six YouTube videos that satirised the country's military and senior politicians. "We did not comply with the request," it said.
A company top official said that the prime request from the governments were mostly to take down political speech.
"It's alarming not only because free expression is at risk, but because some of these requests come from countries you might not suspect - Western democracies not typically associated with censorship."
Like India, content removal requests doubled from the US in the second half of last year as Ukraine, Jordon and Bolivia showed up for the first time on the list of countries out to have materials removed.
From political to terror inspirations, Google said that requests at times became ludicrous as Canadian officials wanted removal from YouTube of pictures of a citizen peeing on his passport and flushing it down a toilet.
Releasing the transparency report, Google said it hoped to continue to contribute to the public debate about how government behaviours are shaping our web.
Overall, the firm said it had received 461 court orders covering a total of 6,989 items between July and December 2011. It said it had complied with 68% of the orders.
The company said it had received a further 546 informal requests covering 4,925 items, of which it had agreed to 43% of the cases.

One of the great things about bowhunting is you get to really see and enjoy what's going on around you in the woods. For example,one of the things I've noticed is if there are turkeys already out in a field when deer arrive, they tend to march right out and start feeding, instead of waiting for last light before entering the field as they typically do. The deer seem to realize if turkeys are in the field, the coast is clear. Somehow deer know that turkeys, with their finely tuned senses of sight and hearing, as well as their natural nervousness, won't be out in a field if danger is lurking. (It seems to work the other way as well: If deer are out in a field or pasture first, turkeys assume all is well and come marching out of the woods to join them.)
Based on these observations, I began putting out a couple of turkey decoys with my deer decoys, and the results have been positive. The deer, especially those superhyper old does, come out into the field more relaxed than usual and seem to stay relaxed longer when I put out a couple of turkey decoys in the mix.
I tend to use the turkey decoys during the early archery season, early pre-rut and again during the late season. During late pre-rut and the rut itself, bucks are keyed on the deer decoys and don't seem to even notice the turkey decoys.

All of us know about the current financial problem of unpaid salaries being faced by many workers in Saudi Arabia. There have been several protests in this regard by workers and we know cases when final exit visas were issued massively by construction companies as they did not have funds to pay off salaries to employees. Ministry of Labor was making all the efforts to counter this issue but how would they force a company to pay off salaries to employees if that company does not have funds to run their operations. Finally, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman had to intervene into this situation. Recommended: Saudi Binladin group issues 50,000 Final Exit Visas to workers without final dues
King Salman has directed Ministry of Labor to take serious measures to tackle the issue of unpaid salaries in collaboration with Ministry of Finance. King Salman has directed government agencies to not to pay any amount of money to those companies who are in violation of Wage Protection System. King Salman had to take this extreme step due to an increasing amount of complaints filed by workers to the Labor office as a result of delays in Salaries. If you just talk about construction giant Saudi Oger, Labor office has received 31,000 labor related complaints for only one company.

Payment of Salaries on behalf of Companies: In this regard, King Salman has also ordered to deposit SR 100 million to Saudi Arab Fund account to tackle this issue. Ministry of Labor will have full authority to use this fund for the welfare of workers. It is expected that this amount will be used to pay off salaries of dissent workers. Later on, this amount will be deducted from the funds which government has to release to these companies. Government makes directly and indirectly different kind of payments to almost every company.
Housing and Accommodation: King Salman has also ordered Ministry of Labor to take all the measures to ensure that the distressed workers are given with proper housing and accommodation. The cost of provision of these services will also be deducted from the payments Saudi government makes to these companies.
Airline Tickets and Final Exit Visas: Last but not the least, King Salman has also instructed Ministry of Labor and Saudi Airlines to transport those workers who want to go on final exit to their home countries. Jawazat has also been ordered to expedite the process of issuing final exit visas for these employees. The amount incurred on this will also be deducted from the payments government has to make to these companies.

What is an MHOS (Mutual Home Ownership Scheme)?
What commitment do I need to give?
Do you have an ethical policy?
Is the project affordable for me?.
What is an Ecovillage?
Ecovillages are urban or rural communities of people, who strive to integrate a supportive social environment with a low-impact way of life. To achieve this, they integrate various aspects of ecological design, permaculture, ecological building, green production, alternative energy, community building practices, and much more.
What is Co housing?
Cohousing is a way of living which brings individuals and families together in groups to share common aims and activities while also enjoying their own self-contained accommodation and personal space. The main features are that they are run by their members, committed to living as a community, designed to encourage social contact and include common space. Co-housing balances people's need for privacy with their desire to live in a more community-focussed way.
More information in the What Is Cohousing slide show.
What is an MHOS (Mutual Home Ownership Scheme)?
Instead of residents owning an individual property, the homes and land are owned by a Mutual Home Ownership Society (MHOS).
The MHOS is registered as a co-operative controlled by its members. Its members are the residents who live in the homes it provides. Each member or group of members has lease which gives the right to occupy a specified house or flat owned by the MHOS.
Members of the MHOS have been involved in the build and design of their homes, and democratically control the housing community in which they live.
The cost of building the homes owned by the MHOS, has been financed by a mortgage loan from Triodos, the charity bank.
Under the terms of their lease, each member makes monthly payments to the MHOS which pays the interest and capital to the bank, and covers a deduction for management, maintenance, insurance and service costs (such as cleaning, lighting of common parts, and grounds maintenance)
The cost of buying the land and building the homes owned by the MHOS and financed by the mortgage is divided into EQUITY SHARES. Each equity share, which has a face value of £1 on the date on which it is issued, is owned by a member and financed by the payments members make each month.
The number of shares owned by each member depends on what they can afford and the build cost of their home. The more they earn the more equity shares they can afford to finance.
As their income rises they can buy more equity shares.
If their income falls, rather than lose their home, they can sell equity shares if there is a willing buyer or, in specified circumstances such as loss of employment or disability, convert to a standard rental tenancy.
To ensure sustainability of the project the value of the equity shares owned by a household must not differ more then + or – 10% of the build cost.
If affordable payments (set at around 35% of net income) are above the amount required to finance equity shares of the value of the build cost + 10% the remainder will go into the contingency and future fund called the Lilac Equity Fund. Contributions to the LEF are capped at 1.5% of the total share allocation.
The MHOS is controlled by its members who live in the homes it owns. They elect the Board of Directors which controls the day to day management of the MHOS within the remit set by members in general meeting.
If a member moves out and sell their shares before they have lived in the MHOS for three years they will only be able to sell them at their original value (or a lower value if their value, calculated in accordance with the valuation formula, has fallen).
For members who leave after three years the value of the equity shares will principally be driven by references to increases (or decreases) in national average eearnings. Exiting members will get the value of their original shares plus interest at 75% of the increase (or decrease) in average income. The MHOS retains the other 25% of the increase (or decrease) to fund the replacement of kitchens, solar panels etc as and when required.
Like any other person taking on a loan and repayment obligation the MHOS will need to carry out a credit check and personal financial assessment to ensure that potential members are able to repay the mortgage debt servicing obligations they are taking on. The MHOS also requires members to have advice from an independent financial advisor to ensure that they understand the financial obligations and risks they are taking on.
The initial lease is granted for a fixed term of 20 years. This gives members a legal interest in their home and the equity shares they own that can be registered with the Land Registry. Longer leases are not possible as a longer fixed term lease would mean members would be able to buy the home and the land it is built on outright (this is called leasehold enfranchisement). That would mean that it will go into the open market and not be affordable for future generations. This would defeat a key purpose of setting up this MHOS scheme which, as well as giving members an affordable investment in the housing market, is to ensure that the homes in it remain affordable for future generations.
The lease gives members the right to remain in their homes after the initial 20 year term for as long as they want to do so. The right of occupation granted by the lease is legally secure under the terms of the lease contract and cannot be ended other than through a breach of the lease by the member or by a failure of your Mutual Home Ownership Society to meet its obligations to pay its mortgage. Ultimately, if the Mutual Home Ownership Society fails to meet its financial obligations there is a risk that members may lose their home.
The finances of the MHOS are structured to maintain reserves to avoid any risk of repayment default. A financial intermediary, the Co-operative Housing Finance Society Ltd (CHFS), will provide the bank and any other long term investors with a 12 month interest guarantee as security against default. CHFS has been in operation since 1997 and has a track record of monitoring default risk.
Members can move between properties in the scheme as they become available and as their housing needs change as long as all the equity shares can be financed by incoming members.
Under the terms of the lease members are responsible for all internal and non structural repairs including any heating appliances, kitchens, bathrooms and other services inside your home The MHOS will be responsible for structural repairs and for the maintenance of the exterior of the houses.
Members will need to pay a minimum deposit equal to 10% of the equity shares they can afford to finance through their monthly payments. It is important that members make a positive personal financial commitment to become a part of the MHOS.
It is affordable because:
• 'rental' charges are geared to 35% of net household income
• members secure a 'foothold' on the housing ladder at lower household incomes
• members can buy more shares as their income rises
• transaction costs on buying into and leaving are reduced because homes are not bought and sold
• the linkage - to average earnings - helps reduce risk and retain affordability
• it remains affordable from one generation of occupants to the next
It is sustainable because:
• the housing remains permanently affordable for the benefit of the local community
• the benefits are recycled from one generation of occupants to the next
• it is easier to finance environmentally sustainable housing
• it encourages active citizenship and community engagement on multiple levels

Comments about Remo Pinstripe Fusion ProPack:
These are the best drum heads Ive ever played on. they are durable and sound great! I bought these seven months ago and put them on the front of all my drums then about three months ago my local music shop had a sale on an Evans pro pack. I bought them and put them as back heads. After about two weeks they broke! Yet my seven month old remos are still holding strong, and sounding amazing! Remo is the best.
Comments about Remo Pinstripe Fusion ProPack:
Love the sound of these but that's a pretty personal thing. I'd agree that these muffle overtones nicely without sounding dead. I can also echo the other reviews in saying these are very durable heads. They will last.
Comments about Remo Pinstripe Fusion ProPack:
These heads are GREAT, VERY durable, they help eliminate unwanted overtones while still letting the drum resonate. A lot of attack lending to a punchy and articulate sound. 2-ply heads help resist wear. They sound great, thats why I play them. If youre looking for heads that stand up to some abuse and also add some warmth try these. Coated embassadors are great for snare batter side, VERY nice for brush playing and also stand up to some heavy hitting. A great head for all styles of music.

Plain Talk By Al Neuharth, USA TODAY Founder
More and more students across the USA are being misled about the calendar, and their family summers are messed up because more and more schools are starting their "Fall Term" this month.
Never mind that summer doesn't end until Sept. 21 and fall starts Sept. 22.
My adopted state of Florida is one of the offenders. Public and most private schools re-opened this week, on Aug. 9 or 10. The worst examples are in Arizona and Georgia, where some schools started their "Fall Term" in late July.
In the olden days, nearly all public schools started the day after Labor Day (first Monday in September) and ended on or about Memorial Day (last Monday in May).
Not only do the changes confuse kids about the calendar, but it also makes sensible summer activities for the family more difficult.
My wife, Rachel, and I have six chosen (adopted) children. How they spent their summer:
•Alexis, 19, chose to go to summer school at Valencia Community College in Orlando, near our Cocoa Beach, Fla., home.
•Karina, 13, is at Diamond Ranch Academy in Utah.
•Andre and Ariana, twins age 12, and Ali and Rafi, twins age 10, went to a variety of short summer camps near home and then to Timber Ridge Camp in West Virginia. That's a wonderful outing for kids from across the USA and other countries.
Even though Timber Ridge Camp graduation doesn't take place until this weekend, I had to fetch them last Sunday to get them back to Florida for their fall school term.
Their schools and their teachers in Florida are fine. It's just that the schedule is messed up.
Parents everywhere should think about the fact that fall, winter and spring are for school. Summer should be for other activities.
Feedback: Other views on start of school
"Calendars are set by local committees consisting of teachers and parents. No one dares interfere with this jealously guarded local prerogative."
— Tom Horne, Arizona superintendent of public instruction
"Decisions regarding opening dates of schools should be made at the local school district level, with the input and consensus of parents, teachers and the community, not mandated by the state."
— Latha Krishnaiyer, state legislative chair, Florida PTA

Very, cash is spread by buying desire money-earning properties and assets just like united states government securities, and conveys from distinctive establishments. In the end, it lends the deposits to consumers who after be charged with achieved passions. If a traditional bank function emerges, your bank have to have additional funds to meet the customers' requirements. Consequently, it should sell most of its assets quickly as well as give away prices (Kamau 2009, p. 34). For this reason, your bank would find yourself carrying small amount of budget and become quite leveraged. This could lead to insolvency.
In Kenya, pentagon financial institution collapsed because of the standard bank operate in your time frame approximately 2007- 2008. The director turned into politics and debated on issues of authority. Of us thought that his concern with political issues can potentially result in his urge to vie for leadership, therefore utilizing their personal savings for promotion pursuits. This notion suffered from also emanated via the political competitors who experienced circulate gossips that your director has no option to manage his campaign workouts, except from these types of deceitful ways. Accordingly, pentagon banking institution proficient monumental withdrawals on a solitary time; with minimal deposits.

As an illustration, everyone will possibly strive to convert their vulnerable build up into dollars. For example, Kamau (2009, p. 78) notices that a traditional bank worry may possibly appear when most people seek to get free from their domestic consumer banking platform.
Owour (2005, p. 23) details systematic consumer banking crisis such as a condition from which all or almost all of the country's bank investment capital is cleaned out. This could cause banking institutions run into a sequence of bankruptcies producing economic decline. Hence, national corporations and potential customers experience hunger as banking companies nearby lower. Consistent with Olive (2008, p. 34), the good depression familiar with Kenya in 2007- 2008 was due to review political election physical violence, and far through the market ruin was a consequence of financial problems particularly. The expense of housecleaning a organized business banking crisis should be vast. Citing an illustration with Kenya, a financial expenses averaged to 14Per cent of Gross Household Product (GDP), and market productivity losses averaging to 20Per cent of GDP in 2007- 2008
