1. Goldstein
Located beneath León, Goldstein is a speakeasy bar that only fits 40 people and specializes in cocktails. It has a bar and round tables without a minimum bill, and sofas with minimum bill.

Located right beside the entrance of Energy Building, this establishment from Ismaya Group is elusive to the eyes. But thanks to the establishment's hideaway quality, Mr. Fox has swiftly turned into a popular spot among office professionals and stylish crowd.
Mr. Fox's 'home' is warm yet eclectic. The bar greets guests with amazing recipes of his delicious food-fare and ethereal cocktail concoctions. So do not be surprised if last year Mr. Fox is honored with Jakarta's Best Eats Award 2018 for Top Upmarket Venue.

3. Bar Gina
This is the bar that is becoming a hot topic for women in Jakarta, Bar Gina. This bar in Senopati was inspired by women-exclusive bars found abroad amidst the staggering cases of harassment women experience in such locations. Though Bar Gina isn't exclusive to the ladies, the establishment prides on hosting everybody without judgement expectations, or quite simply, a haven for individual expression..

Such as Green Goddess, a super fresh, cooling and pesto-like cocktail using infused tequila with basil to create stronger taste. Or Between Moods. It is sweet, mild, easy to drink and hard to forget.

4. Dirty Laundry
Dirty Laundry may be a speakeasy bar, but it's really not that hard to get hold of it. Unlike other speakeasy in the city, Dirty Laundry doesn't mind putting up its sign at the entrance. That is if you venture deep into Fairgrounds building. But there's a much better way to access Dirty Laundry.
Sharing its location with Bottega Ristorante, Dirty Laundry is divided only by a retractable wall. Inside, the establishment feels like an extension of Bottega Ristorante. Since the contrast is not jarring at all, first timer would be forgiven for thinking Dirty Laundry is a private room for the VIP in the restaurant.

Dirty Laundry caters to both who come in big group or small squad of your closest friends. Here you have to try on their house cocktails like the bold flavours of Old Cuban is the result from the infusion with cigars. Don't fret, there are also cocktails that are lighter in flavours, such as Nuts & Spring and Bee's Knees.

- You won't find reports about tiny, speculative companies that are illiquid and difficult to trade.
- I won't swamp you with 40 or 50 superficially researched investment ideas per year.
- You won't get waves of unwanted ads and other spam in your mailbox.
If you have been looking at "investment newsletters" elsewhere on the web, the annoying points I mention above will probably sound all too familar to you.
I want Undervalued-Shares.com to be a product that I would buy myself; one that I can recommend to my personal friends; and one where I'd feel that I was getting ten times my money's worth.
That's why I based this website around the following ideas:
- My research reports primarily deal with companies that are world-renowned, listed on a major stock exchange, and whose shares are very liquid. Only in very exceptional circumstances will I feature a small cap stock on this website.
- I currently have one free product (my Weekly Dispatches), and one paid-for product that is an absolute steal at $49 per year (my research reports). My product line is lean and simple. You'll only get the emails that you signed up for.
- Each year, I issue ten, maybe twelve research reports. If you want to build a diversified but manageable portfolio as your retirement nest-egg or your "Freedom Fund", those reports will give you more than enough ideas to work with.
To get a clearer idea what my research reports are about, take a look at the reports section of the site.
If you prefer to read my free Weekly Dispatches for a while to get to know my work, please either subscribe to them or bookmark this blog and check back every Friday afternoon.
Last but not least, if you have any questions, do drop me a line and I'll be happy to help!

Trotter: Gap Between Clemson/Alabama And Everyone Else Will Widen In 2019
Clemson and Alabama have squared off in the College Football Playoff four years in a row. Don't be surprised if the streak reaches five.
Clemson and Alabama met in the College Football Playoff for the fourth consecutive season Monday night.
Well, don't be surprised if the streak reaches five.
"What's really scary for the rest of college football is that next year Clemson and Alabama are going to be 1 and 2 (in the preseason poll), and they're also going to have the two best quarterbacks in the country," ESPN college football writer Jake Trotter said on Reiter Than You. "That's kind of the one thing that's been a little bit inconsistent for both teams, especially Alabama, where they've been so dominant everywhere else. Now you basically add the two best quarterbacks in the country to that equation, and the gap between those two teams and everybody else, I think it's only going to widen."
Tua Tagovailoa, who won a national title as a true freshman, led Alabama to a 14-0 start and finished runner-up in the Heisman voting. Clemson, meanwhile, just won a national title with true freshman Trevor Lawrence. Both will be back – and likely better – next season.
Translation: Clemson and Alabama aren't going anywhere.
"As dominant as both were this year," Trotter said, "they might be even more dominant in 2019."

Do you love chocolate? I can't say that I'm a choc-o-holic but I do enjoy chocolate once in a while - chocolate eclairs, Dove milk chocolate, my grandmom's chocolate cake, Hershey bars (with almonds please!) .... you get the picture! Sonny is a big chocolate eater - more so than me. In fact, I have to hide the chocolate morsels in my house or he will eat them all! My son used to love Butterfingers - not sure if he eats much chocolate now or not. The strange one in our family is Ashley. She doesn't like chocolate! What's with that? I have run into a few people like her who don't like chocolate but it does seem strange. Chocolate is found in so many things. I even saw some chocolate wine the other day! Not sure about that but I'd like to give it a try!
I recently ordered the Eat Chocolate set from the Occasions Mini and have made a few cards with it. It's a fun set and I really like the sentiments in it.
Don't you love these bright colors - Marina Mist and Pretty in Pink DSP. I used Rich Razzleberry behind the cupcake saying. I guess these could be cupcakes or candies - take your pick! The ribbon is also SU (retired). Simple but cute!

See what I mean? Your typical 3 year old's attention span, but only the energy of a middle-aged lady. Be glad you don't have to sit across a dinner table from me tonight.
I'm trying to use this transition to get some good habits started. This morning I walked on the treadmill, something I've resolved to do for at least the first week I'm here. I think I'll keep up with it, if only because there's an individuial TV/DVD player attached to each treadmill. I'm sure I'll walk myself breathless if I put on an action movie or Sister Act.
Well, my Coach "Buddy" will be stopping by after she gets some program materials I need to be familiar with. I'm thinking of you fondly. As Bartles said to James, "I thank you for your support."

Annal: 1974 National Book Award for Current Interest
Results of the National Book Award in the year 1974.
The Briar Patch: The Trial of the Panther 21
- 1974 NBA–Current Interest winner
- Score: 10.24
On April 2, 1969 five-man squads of New York policemen, armed with shotguns and wearing bulletproof vests, pounded on a succession of apartment doors throughout New York City, rounding up members of the Black Panther party. Thirteen of twenty-one suspects were charged and tried for attempted arson, attempted murder, and conspiracies to blow up various police stations, school buildings, a railroad yard, and the Bronx Botanical Gardens. But the forces of "law and order" behaved in a decidedly less lawful manner than the defendants. The Briar Patch brilliantly examines the proceedings, from the police undercover operations that first implicated the Panthers, to their acquittal on all charges. It remains a seminal book—not just about the Panther 21, but about the quality of justice in America.

Votes in Virginia, Kentucky, and Mississippi all show how the suburbs are getting more Democratic, while rural areas get Republican.
Tuesday's election results show how America is continuing to polarize along an urban-rural continuum. But it's not playing out the same everywhere.
Voters on Tuesday gave Democrats a resounding victory in races for Virginia's general assembly, a narrow victory in Kentucky's gubernatorial election, and a defeat in Mississippi's gubernatorial race. All three states show signs of ongoing polarization, in which rural areas are becoming more Republican and suburban areas are becoming more Democratic.
In Virginia, for example, the same suburban surge that powered Democrats to victory in 2018's congressional races was also evident a year later at the state level. Based on a density index devised by CityLab to analyze elections, Democrats on Tuesday won an average of 73 percent of the vote in districts that CityLab categorizes as "dense suburban," and 53 percent in "sparse suburban" districts.1 But eight years ago, Democrats averaged just 46 percent of the vote in "dense suburban" districts, and were blown out with an average of 22 percent of the vote in "sparse suburban" districts.
Likewise, rural districts saw a hard turn toward Republicans. In 2011, Democrats averaged 32 percent of the vote in predominantly rural districts—roughly in line with their overall 34 percent of the vote. In 2019, Democrats did much better overall, winning nearly 53 percent of the total vote. But their share in rural districts fell to 27 percent.
Virginia is a fast-growing state with large shares of its population living in dense urban and especially suburban neighborhoods, and is overall much less rural than either Kentucky or Mississippi.
That means that Kentucky's Democratic governor-elect Andy Beshear had to assemble a very different coalition to win there than Virginia's Democrats did. Like them, he ran up big margins in the state's cities and suburbs, and lost big in rural areas (though he lost by less in the country).
But whereas Virginia Democrats tended to do worse in districts where more people live in low-density communities like exurbs or rural towns, those areas were a strength for Beshear in his race against incumbent Republican Governor Matt Bevin. They had to be in order for him to win—Kentucky doesn't have enough people living in dense communities for a candidate to lose in both rural and exurban areas and still pull off a victory, whereas Virginia does.
Despite these differences, though, Kentucky showed the same patterns as Virginia. Compared to Bevin's victory over Democrat Jack Conway four years ago, Beshear did worse in counties with lots of rural residents, but better in counties with more people living in towns, suburbs, and cities.2 The differences are even more dramatic when compared to 2011, when Beshear's father Steve was re-elected governor. Steve Beshear had only a minor disadvantage in Kentucky's rural areas then, and smaller advantages than his son would produce in its denser communities.
In Mississippi, where Attorney General Jim Hood came up well short in his race against Republican Tate Reeves, demographics posed an even graver problem. Mississippi is one of the most rural and least suburban states in the country, and is the only state without a single neighborhood that CityLab classifies as "high density."3 In every respect it's less urban than Kentucky, where Beshear only squeaked out a victory on Tuesday by virtue of his opponent's extremely low approval ratings.
Any election that follows this decade's patterns of polarization, with Republican rural areas and Democratic suburbs and cities, is going to go poorly for a Democrat in Mississippi because it just doesn't have enough suburbs and cities. And so Hood fell with 46.6 percent of the vote to Hood's 52.1 percent.
There's no guarantee that this trend will continue to accelerate in 2020 or other future elections. Just a decade ago, Democrats did well in rural, suburban, and urban congressional districts. But if Americans continue to polarize by density, then Democratic wins in rural places like Kentucky may get even rarer—as will Republican wins in suburban places like Virginia.
- Using a similar methodology to last year's CityLab Congressional Density Index, we used a machine learning algorithm to classify districts based on the different types of high-, low-, and medium-density neighborhoods that make them up. A district that's predominantly medium-density neighborhoods, for example, would be "dense suburban," while "sparse suburban" districts tend to be mostly low-density neighborhoods with a substantial minority of medium-density. ↩
- Bevin underperformed other Republicans on the ticket, who won the rest of Kentucky's statewide offices. But even those down-ballot races showed similar patterns, just slightly less extreme. Attorney General-elect Daniel Cameron, a Republican, did better in counties with lots of rural residents and worse in counties where lots of people live in denser areas than Republican attorney general candidates in 2015 and 2011. He outperformed Bevin in suburban counties but did a little worse than him in rural counties. ↩
- CityLab classifies neighborhoods with fewer than 102 households per square mile as "Very low density." Neighborhoods with 102 to 800 households per square mile are "Low density," while those with 800 to 2,213 households per square mile are "Medium density." Anything above 2,213 households per square mile is "High density." These numbers are derived from survey research conducted by Jed Kolko. ↩

Strikeforce Challenger: Mike Aina vs. Billy Evangelista
Aina has crazy eyes. He should have a win over Nick Diaz. Diaz's bong power carried him through, somehow.
So, a hometown guy who's not a total underdog. The arena doesn't look all that full. I wonder what Strikeforce will pull if they head out of Northern California.
Overall the production, if you don't count the voice of Mauro Ranallo, is pretty kickass. It strikes me as something that would look better in person than it does on TV. The crane cam is in full effect though.
I like Mike Aina. Guy's got heart, but he trains cardio like BJ. Evangelista kicks like Kongo!
I like combos that have a leg kick at the end. That's good stuff.
Eh...stupid knee by Evangelista, but it looks like Aina is faking it. Damn. This isn't even as hard a shot as Varner took against Cerrone. Dude, get up, come on.
That was not even a knee to the head. It was blocked. Shit, Aina is going to get a DQ win for a shot that didn't even land. Herb Dean is going to be pissed when he sees the replay. What a bullshit way for Evangelista to get his first loss. He should have never thrown that knee, of course, that's pretty clear. How on earth can they call it a no contest? I've never heard of an illegal blow no contest. Anderson Silva, Frank Shamrock, they both have illegal blow losses. Malaipet lost on one of the ShoXC fights for an illegal blow. No way it's a no contest.
Yeah, that's what I thought. Win via DQ for Aina. What a piece of junk. I'm not impressed with this. Aina has taken harder shots than that. He got kneed in the armpit. His holding his jaw made me think of an elementary school kid complaining of a stomach ache, holding his tum tum.
But...it would have never happened if Evangelista hadn't thrown the knee, no issue. So tough shit, Billy. Wise up. Rules are rules.

So last month I decided to stop my subscription with Ipsy to try something new and I decided on Nature Box. Some of my friends have tried it and said it was okay so I had to give it a try myself. What attracted me most to it was that it's very customizable and a good value. Another neat thing is that they only use natural ingredients. If you avoid certain foods in your diet, you will love that you can preview the ingredients before you pick snacks and search for snacks that follow your dietary needs before you pick your 5 for the month (or you can be surprised). And I have to mention that the sized are VERY generous! So generous, that most of the bags have a serving size of 3-4. It's so worth the 19.95 cost.

Creating the World's Longest Green Highway
Let's talk about the evolution of Sun Country Highway.
Sun Country Highway was originally created to put an end to the chicken and the egg scenario with electric vehicles and electric vehicle infrastructure, which has been going on for over a century, and to finally allow the electric vehicle industry to move forward by actually creating an infrastructure which was ahead of the electric vehicle for the first time in history. So, basically we wanted to create the infrastructure to allow people to travel with electric vehicles, and once they could travel, the idea was what they would buy electric vehicles.
Our mission was to put electric vehicle charging stations across Canada so that electric vehicles would be able to travel from British Columbia to Prince Edward Island.
Tell us about the financing to build this infrastructure.
Well, it needed to be done without requesting funds from the government and from the taxpayer. Not only because of speed of implementation, but also to prove a point that average people can make a difference and if enough average people come together we can actually implement better than government run programs in some cases. So, it allowed us the flexibility to maneuver when we needed to and simply get it done.
Yes, there were lot of financial sacrifices, but for anybody to really do anything which is probably the right thing to do, there are going to be some financial or time sacrifices. So, in the scheme of things globally, and for the EV industry itself, it really wasn't that much of a sacrifice.
For the government to invest in infrastructure it is almost like going to a horse race. You really don't know or they don't know what is going to work, what is not going to work, where the electric vehicles are going to go – that sort of thing.
As long as there is a charging infrastructure that works for them today it is going to be a good bet, but to focus on the charging infrastructure and hope that you pick the right one, the right level, the right company, that is the challenge. The "right technology" has failed miserably if you look at that model globally. Governments have lost a lot of money and, if anything, the industry will lose credibility if they continue to do that.
They should, if they are going to support the movement, help fund the vehicles and provide some rebates there; those vehicles will be around for a very long time because the maintenance is very little. One day they are going to have to pay carbon taxes if they don't do something. So, by funding electric vehicle purchases they could actually mitigate some of the reasons why in the future they are going to actually implement a carbon tax, so it is either pay now or pay later.
How did you manage to do this?
Well, first, we needed to have a charging station that was incredibly reliable. Bells and whistles were not really necessary; it was really important to have something that people could rely on when they came to charge and that it would work when they plugged their car in. It is difficult to create a movement when the infrastructure is failing. It was decided that we would get one of the companies in the movement to create our products for us, adjust them a little bit to make sure they were able to charge every single electric vehicle in North America, and then not only charge it but be able to charge the vehicles faster by a few hundred percent more than what the actual electric vehicles could charge presently.
So, we determined who we were going to use and got an agreement in place with them to supply the products and adjust them to our specs and then we started trying to give them away. That was a lot more difficult than expected. First we heard: I have never actually seen an electric car, never been in one. And second was: I have never even heard of electric cars and you want me to cover the install on these units? That was really the most challenging, finding the host locations that could understand what we were doing and believed in what we were doing and were willing to cover the costs to install those chargers.
The reason that was critical was because when electric vehicles arrived at those host locations, we wanted to make sure the host location was incredibly excited and happy to see them and was very excited to give away their power for free to that electric car, even if that electric vehicle owner wasn't spending money at their location. So, that was just to make sure the movement would be enhanced and the experience was one that electric vehicle owners were maybe not used to.
It is pretty cool when you can go to a place and they are willing to open their doors to you and spend money on you just to empower you to continue doing what you are doing and to allow the movement to take place. That was really complicated because to find those host locations, not only the charging station or the install or the electricity down the road, but to find them, the cost was substantial.
What kind of feedback have you gotten since this project was completed?
Well, the feedback was substantial to say the least. One of the goals in launching Sun Country Highway and creating the world's longest green highway across one of the world's largest and most geographically diverse countries was to prove that electric vehicles could travel long distances, in the middle of a Canadian winter – over the Plains and the Rocky Mountains – at very little cost, with very little emissions.
So, the completion of the world's longest green highway project proved that electric vehicles do have a place and they can actually make a difference in the economics, in the social aspect of things and on the environment, giving a little bit of hope towards the future to a lot people that were maybe looking for a little bit of hope.
Have you talked to many fleets about this project?
Initially, when we launched we weren't talking to fleets too much. We were simply focused on getting the charging stations installed as fast as possible and launching the highway as fast as possible. There was a lot of criticism towards our project — that it was impossible, that we couldn't do it without government funding, that we couldn't do it without large corporate funding, and there was just no way we could put it in one of the largest countries in the world and do it in a year. Further, that it didn't make sense to give away electricity for free and it didn't make sense.
People were focused on the urban centers – New York, L.A. But, doing the urban centers wouldn't really prove a point. People simply won't buy into the electric movement if they can't travel when they want to. So, the whole idea was to allow people to travel long distances between cities instead of just in cities.
Let's talk about the next phase.
In the first year Sun Country Highway created the world's longest highway green highway and we drove it in the middle of a Canadian winter in a 100 percent electric vehicle and it didn't cost us anything to do it– it was a pretty cool experience.
The second year was to "green" most of Canada's highways, roads and freeways and we are coming up to almost 90 percent of those, meaning that it is possible to drive one of the production electric vehicles today over 80 percent of the roads in Canada. Again, the goal is there is to get up to 90 percent right around the two year mark; right around our birthday.
We are also expanding throughout the States and looking at many other countries on the electric vehicle infrastructure side; if we can make people's travel greener, it can save them money. It can assist society and if it can make the world better at the same time, then we are probably going to make something happen.
How can fleets make an impact in this movement?
If fleets can "green" their fleets, save money, reduce some of their other issues that they are dealing with today — and really make a true difference for more people than just themselves — then it is substantial. Fleets do control a lot of the vehicles around the world, so they have a lot of power and a lot of influence. However, if they do not buy into technology in transportation, there is a chance the technology may fail.
It is the fleets this time that are probably going to have to probably adopt a little bit quicker, because otherwise the fleets that do will have a huge competitive edge on them whether it is a municipality, a province, a nation, a state or another corporation.

I am very happy to announce that CWA endorsed candidates Saud Anwar SD 3, Derek Slap SD 5, and Anthony Nolan HD 39 were all successful in their efforts to become elected leaders in our state. Thank you to all of those who pitched in to get these labor friendly candidates elected.
We were also able to give public testimony at our state capital opposing raised Senate Bill 846 .... AN ACT CONCERNING THE MUNICIPAL GAIN, THE PREPARATION OF UTILITY POLES AND ENTERPRISE FUNDS FOR MUNICIPAL BROADBAND SERVICES. To specify that the municipal gain may be used to provide broadband Internet service, to require the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority to adopt regulations for the process for public utility pole attachments and to allow municipalities to establish and administer enterprise funds for the use, operation and management of municipal broadband services.
I am excited to announce the raising of Senate Bill 990, An Act Concerning Call Centers and Notice of Closure. We need new efforts that put CT workers first, add new levels of accountability to the offshoring process, and ensure that our taxpayer dollars are not rewarding companies who are actively eliminating good jobs in our state. This bill ends grants, loans, tax benefits and state contracts for companies that shift customer service jobs out of the state or to a foreign country.
We will be engaging members to work on both of these bills with their representatives.

text: Duel_1v1 The map is a set of 5 small glass rooms on each side of a single larger room in the center. The larger room is the duel room where the dueling goes on. The small glass rooms are waiting rooms, which are labeled gate 1 through gate 5 for each team. When you spawn you are placed at the end of the line automatically, and when the player in the duel area dies on your team, everyone in line moves up one. The queue system works completely automatically and the players waiting in line simply have to wait until their turn is up. After 3 wins in a row, the winner is put at the end of the line so that others on his team may have a chance to duel. When a player wins, a set of buttons appears in the center of the duel area. When damaged, each button changes the map to a different setup of obstacles. EDIT: I forgot to mention that upon winning, the winner gets his health and ammo fully restored so that he is ready for the next challenger. In each waiting room is a red or blu light (depending on the side) that only lights up if a player is within that room. The concept may be simple, but putting this together in hammer was nowhere near simplicity. The complex logic involved in creating a working queue system that will not mess up if someone kills themselves or changes classes required more critical thinking and planning than actual work in hammer. This is my first map in hammer besides a few simple ones to help learn to use hammer, so it took me a few weeks to get the map this far. The visuals of the map were tacked on somewhat recently. It was originally a just a big box with concrete wall textures, but I decided that if random players will take it seriously, I will need to at least make it look somewhat good. Problems currently include the map occasionally messing up and the player in gate 1 not being placed into the duel area, but it can be fixed by simply changing class. This does however put you at the back of your team's line. Another problem is that you cannot run this map on a server with more than 10 slots. There will be problems with multiple players in a single waiting room. I will continue to work on updating and fixing the former problem, but I'm fine with this map being kept on small servers. If it were on a higher slot server, there would be a lot players waiting. I would like to say once again that this is the first map I've made, so criticism is more than welcome. I will not be putting the map up for download until I sort out the problem mentioned above, but it is running 24/7 on my server at EDIT: server is down. If posting IP addresses is forbidden, I apologize, and please remove the IP from my post or let me know and I will. Also, I know that we're not supposed to include the map prefix in the title, but I consider Duel to be part of the name of the map. Thank you for reading all this. (if you didn't just skip to the bottom ) EDIT: I've lost interest in updating this map. If anyone wants me to upload the current .bsp or .vmf, just say so. -John

Networking and Branding with Fresh FlowersPosted by Elizabeth Rishel on July 11, 2017
In today's corporate and small business world, it's more important than ever to have outstanding branding and networking skills to stand out. Fresh Flowers provide branding for gardeners or florists and a networking tool for business owners that can be presented in a unique way. They certainly brighten a situation and bring an abundance of smiles. Today, I'm going to talk about how you can dress up flowers using a label to benefit all business owners, florist or not.
Cut Flower Gardeners and Florists
Cut flower gardens are popping up all over the United States. Here in Central Florida, we even have workshops teaching you how to grow your own. Florists are also outsourcing local farmers for their flowers. With that said, there's a demand to be able to provide fresh cut flowers to individuals that want to cut and create their own floral arrangements.
What can gardeners and florists do to make a lasting impression? They can focus on their branding when preparing the fresh flowers. After wrapping the flowers that were just purchased by a customer, seal the paper with a custom label. This label can have a business logo, quote, or simply read fresh flowers. It's a great opportunity for gardeners and florists to advertise their business. Especially when customers will more than likely post on social media platforms.
Business Owners
Imagine as a business owner you're about to have an important meeting that will determine the next big step for your business. The collaboration or partnership that's about to take place is something you've dreamed of since the beginning of your business. Start or end the meeting with a lasting impression by providing fresh flowers.
Since you may not be able to order them in time, head to your local market and grab a handful of your favorites. You can wrap and seal them yourself with the free label design offered at the end of this post. With such a thoughtful gesture, it will only help you with your business transaction. Now, of course, you have to take into consideration if the client will enjoy fresh flowers. If not, you can apply the same concept by getting a treat from a local bakery and sealing it with your company's logo. Here's an example in this post all about product labeling. There are always options!
So, if you're a gardener or florist, it's time to invest in labels for your fresh flowers! I'd love to help you create a custom label for your business needs. Just comment below and I can certainly help. You can also download the free label design by clicking on the image below. For all of the business owners with collaborations and meetings coming up, you just need to grab fresh flowers and download the Fresh Flowers label below for the extra special touch.

UK agents, and Benjamin Coren, join Peru trip to learn how tourism can help communities
G Adventures founder Bruce Poon Tip has described traditional fam trip models as "boring" and criticised the way some agents are offered fam trips.
The adventure operator's inaugural Change Makers Summit, in Peru, welcomed not only top sellers but also agents who champion the brand and are likely to sell it.
Poon Tip said: "I've been saying for a very long time about my unhappiness with the general concept of fams and how traditional and how boring they've become. They just needed some kind of innovation."
Neelan Kanda, director of Sapphire Adventures, agreed, adding: "In some cases you don't learn much about the destination at all and you go from one hotel to another.
"However, first-hand experience on the ground sampling an operator's programme is invaluable and makes it so much easier to sell."
Poon Tip also criticised the way some travel companies offer fam trips to agents as a perk rather than select agents based on their interest in the destination or operator.
Referring to some trips that G Adventures runs for partner agencies, he said: "We don't get to choose the agents. [They are] not the bestselling agents or the most‑effective agents. [The fam] is used as an incentive [whereas] we are trying to put over a different agenda.
"We want agents to learn what we do and we want to create a meaningful relationship with agents that are likely to, or somewhat intentioned to, sell our programmes."
Poon Tip said: "We're trying to limit these fams with partners and to try to think of other ways to motivate their agents. People are afraid to talk about this because it's so important to the incentive side of the business."
G Adventures aims for 100 social projects
G Adventures is launching Project 100, which will bring the total number of social enterprise community projects to 100 by 2020.
The announcement came as the operator hit its target of launching 50 social enterprise community projects in five years through its not-for-profit foundation, Planeterra, with a year and a half to spare.
G Adventures formed Planeterra in 2003 to develop and support small communities around the world in the destinations to which its customers travel.
Victoria Houle, Planeterra director of development, said: "We started with 25 [already open] and added 50. We achieved our goal a year and a half early, so raised the game and launched Project 100.
"Last year, 58,000 people benefited from Planterra projects. G Adventures covers our operational costs, which means 100% of what we raise goes back to the community."

Firms to offer fams to agents who 'change most lives'
Agents saw first-hand how their G Adventures bookings make a difference to local communities in the destinations their customers visit.
Fourteen top bookers from the UK were among 127 global trade professionals to attend the summit in Peru, where they toured Lima, Cusco and the Sacred Valley, and went on a day trip to Machu Picchu.
The final day included a walking tour of Cusco and the Change Makers Summit presentations, where agents found out more about the operator's not-for-profit partner Planeterra and heard a keynote speech by founder Bruce Poon Tip, who answered delegates' questions.
Jade Snedeker, a travel expert at STA Travel in London, said: "I loved the community visits. It's great to learn more about G Adventures and see everything we have contributed towards in practice. I had no idea what to expect and it's great to see what customers are experiencing."
David Green, vice-president of commercial at G Adventures, said: "This summit is about celebrating with the agents who have changed the most lives during our incentive campaign. We wanted to make this more than just an educational, we wanted to make it a life-changing experience for everyone and a lot of fun along the way."
Green confirmed the event would be held again next year, with further details to be confirmed in July.
"Our categories for winning a place are linked to the numbers of lives changed, wildcard spots and social submissions linked to our core values," he said. "To be in with a chance of winning a place, all we ask is that you consider G Adventures as an option when consulting with your clients, and if they don't travel with us, then hopefully they will travel like us."
UK agents don traditional Peruvian clothes
G Adventures travellers give community a $200,000 boost
Travellers on G Adventures tours have helped a community in Peru's Sacred Valley generate more than $200,000 in income in the past year.
Agents, including 14 from the UK, visited community projects in Ccaccaccollo, Cuyo Chico and Huchuy Qosqo including the Parwa Community Restaurant.
Joel Callañaupa, the operator's programme manager for Latin America and the Carribbean, helps implement projects. He said: "G Adventures brings more than 12,000 travellers to Huchuy Qosqo each year, and last year the community made $200,000 from their visitors."
The community has reinvested the money from tourism back into the restaurant since the project began in 2015.
Callañaupa added: "We help customise the experience for travellers as local communities often don't know how to provide that."

For years I had wanted to go to Australia. Twice I planned to fly into Sydney for New Years Eve, and twice those plans fell through. When I started this trip, I knew there was always a possibility that I'd end up in Australia, but I knew there were so many reasons why I shouldn't go. Who goes to Australia in the winter? Do they even have a winter? Where do you go after flying all the way down there? Eventually I found the answer to all of those questions and more.

Everything Ends – Part III: Malaysia and Singapore
In addition to not having a longterm "plan" for what would I would do in Asia, I hadn't even considered what would happen at the "end" of Thailand. Go home? Keep traveling? But where!? Eventually I decided to hop on a southbound train to Malaysia, although ironically I wasn't even sure what city that train was taking me to.
Everything Ends – Part II: Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand
As I mentioned in my last post, I had no clear vision for what I would do in South East Asia – or even what the major 'tourist attractions' were within each of the countries. I knew Vietnam for its war, Cambodia from a Dead Kennedys song, and Thailand for its world-famous ladyboys. Today? I could tell you the best place to get a Vietnamese visa in under two hours, recommend coffee shops in Phnom Penh, and have seen enough breast implant scars on ladyboys to last a lifetime.
Everything Ends – Part I: The Beginning
The American Psychological Association's website indicates that burnout is emotional exhaustion resulting from overwhelming stress at work. It may be caused by a hostile work environment or fears about job security, but it often results from long hours, stressful deadlines, high expectations, worrying about a project, or taking on more work than you can handle—in other words, working too hard. It can lead to serious conditions, such as depression and heart disease, and you should seek professional help if you are experiencing burnout.
Professional help? Haha. I decided to quit. Best. Decision. Ever.
6 Months Later: Unexpected Stories From 186 Days of Travel
Half a year. Six months. 186 days. Regardless of how you want to define it, this trip has now gone on longer than I ever expected it to. Along the way there have been a number of ridiculous (and potentially previously unmentioned) stories. Today seems like a great day to make a summary of the last 186 days and share some details of the stories that have previously remained secret. Perhaps "summary" isn't the best way to describe this – there are a lot of pictures, some old stories, some new stories, and then more pictures.
Taiwan: Episode II – The Typhoon Strikes Back
Other potential names for this blog post included:

Return of the Typhoon
Once Upon a Time in Taiwan II
Taiwan & Typhoons II: Judgement Day
One Week Later: Taiwan, Taipei, Trains, and Typhoons
One week after being unceremoniously dumped in Taipei's city center an hour after midnight, I've felt this massive city shrink in scale as I've familiarized myself with its public transportation system and started to explore. I've also started to get a feeling for how small Taiwan is itself – taking a 3.5 hour train ride halfway down the eastern coast of the country to visit one of Taiwan's most scenic destinations …and then a Typhoon crossed my path.

I was so excited at how gorgeous it was outside today and I harnessed up the dogs, stuck my husband on my girly bike, and started running. How fantastic was it to run outside in the t-shirt again! I also finally got to try out my sweet running hat and socks I got from Lululemon. They're excellent! And I totally love the ponytail hole in my hat. It's the little things in life…
I was supposed to do 16 miles today, but only got in 4 with my husband and the dogs. After that, we had to go run some errands. During which, I started to feel awful, and now my head is pounding and the last thing I want to do is get on the treadmill and do those last 12 miles. Fortunately, I started my training about 6 weeks early, so I have some extra time built in there. I'm going to need to re-adjust my schedule, but I know I'll get it all in. February was tough with classes getting into full swing, but now that I'm starting to make a dent in things and get (a tiny little bit) ahead, it's looking better.
One of the worst things that's been going on lately is dealing with my STUPID CONTACTS. I've worn contact lenses since I was in junior high and have never had a problem. A few weeks ago, all of a sudden, every time I would put my contacts in, my eyes would be in AGONY (red, itchy, painful, sensitive to light, really really watery). I tried putting in a brand new pair and had the same thing happen. I tried not wearing my contacts for several days and then putting them back in – same problem. It was horrible. I looked around online and found a lot of people with the same problem. What seemed to work was switching to the Clear Care lens cleaner. Instead of a saline solution, it's a hydrogen peroxide solution that breaks down overnight. I tried it last night, and so far, SUCCESS! It may be because that solution gets rid of the protein deposits better than my other stuff, OR, I may have developed an allergy to my old solution. I know a couple people that this has happened to – and it was the same kind of solution too (Opti-free).
Anyway, I'm looking forward to readjusting my training schedule and getting back into things now that work is going better and I can see again! I had such a blast running with my husband on the bike today. It really was wonderful. I hope we can do that often!

Parents & Swimmers Please Note.
Swimmers please do not attempt to access the pool if you are any more than 10 minutes late for your session. This rule is to prevent injuries as you are much more likely to be injured if you miss warm up. Each session has a 15 minute warm up incorporated into all sets by the teachers & coaches.
How important is warming up before swimming?
With swimming using large groups of muscles it is essential that you use efficient movements and maintain a low heart rate so as not to fatigue the body. … Warming up increases body temperature, which reduces the chance for muscle and tendon injuries.
How long should swimming warm up last?
At bare minimum, your warm-up period should be five minutes long. If you are practicing an intricate sport like gymnastics or ballet, you need much longer than five minutes to properly warm up. Also, when your muscles are extremely sore from a previous workout, you will need to take more time to warm up.
Please respect this rule as it is there to reduce your risk of injury.
Thank You for respecting this rule………. Safe & Happy Swimming !!

PreStories Artist Statement
While the traditional narrative places nature as placid to be harnessed and controlled to do our bidding, against the backdrop of time, this control can be seen shifting, and slipping away. Recent events, natural catastrophes, the treat of climactic meltdown, have re-established Nature as a narrative that has a life of its own.

The works contain references to the risks we face under this unwritten story, in the paws of the polar bear, immortalized as the Tundra turns to fields in Northern Plains. Despite discomforting themes, there is an upside. The bird and dinosaur hybrids in the "museum display" pieces suggest the continuity of a lineage from ancient to modern avian—one that may be smoothed out with the passage of time.

Driving is something we like to think of as a right as opposed to a privilege, however, if you do not carry a valid Maryland license, it is illegal for you to drive, even if you are just driving to the grocery store or to and from work.
The penalties are particularly harsh for subsequent offenders and offenders who have lost their license as the result of being found guilty of another crime. Additionally, this violation causes 5 points to be placed against you, and if there are between 8 and 11 points within a two year period, your driver's license could be suspended. For example, if you did not have a license and were able to obtain one within three months, the suspension would extend past that time.
Potential Defenses Against Driving Without a License Charges
There are a variety of successful defenses that can be used against driving without a license charges, including:
An experienced Maryland traffic attorney will investigate each aspect of your case, and determine the defense strategies that have the most likelihood of being successful in court.
Working With a Greenbelt, Maryland Traffic Lawyer

Working with a Maryland traffic attorney can increase the chances that the charges are eradicated or reduced, allowing you to maintain your freedom and avoid jail time and fines.

Hey! Let's meet for a joint photo-shooting on the topics of MULTIPLE- and LONG-EXPOSURE, which is also the topic of our first PICZ-Competition (until end of March) or one of this years Photolaundry.
Let's experiment together! Everyone is welcome: beginners and those who already have some experience and could advise the others :).
Before the photowalk, check your camera's instructions on how to shoot multi-exposure images. If the camera doesn't have this option you can always use photoshop afterwards.
You can find out more about those techniques before the photowalk in the web, there are many youtube videos or articles ! For Canon-SLR there is a detailed article here: http://learn.usa.canon.com/resources/articles/2011/1dx_multiple_exposures_article.shtml
Be a little prepared and also bring your tripods for long-exposure images. Then we can exchange some ideas and get creative together!! Sundown is at 18h25, so after 19h we can also try night-shots.
Meetingpoint: Bellevueplatz in front of Globus
Weather forecast is, well, not too bad ;o) We can always move on to the hall of main-station, if it gets too wet…

"We were proud to learn that during the procurement process, the 3DimensionsTM system was ranked number one in ergonomics and patient comfort by clinicians and screening participants and are hopeful that all Dutch women will take advantage of the invitation to get screened on this system."

Aisling's research interests are in feminist legal theory and gender theory of armed conflict, international security and peacebuilding. Her works examines conflict-related violence against women, humanitarianism and human rights, peacebuilding and institutional strategies towards gender equality within the UN system.
Conflict-related Violence Against Women:
Aisling's most recent work comparatively assesses three conflict-affected jurisdictions (Liberia, Northern Ireland, and Timor-Leste), to empirically and theoretically expand current understanding of the form and nature of conflict-time harms impacting women. This work has involved ethnographic primary research identifying the 'violences' that occur in conflict beyond strategic rape; developing theoretical and methodological frameworks to analyse on a disaggregated and an aggregated basis, the relations between forms of violence within and across the pre-, mid-, and post-conflict phase in these three contexts, identifying connections and distinctions in violence across space and time; and examining transitional justice processes and the ways in which they engage with the spectrum of violence that women experience.
Additional work examines the links between peacebuilding and violence against women in post-conflict Sierra Leone, and whether and how violence against women is integrated into post-conflict peacebuilding strategies in that context.
Transitional Justice
Through the lens of feminist legal theory, Aisling's work is concerned with examining gender and justice provisions in post-conflict settings. In addition to her work in her recent book, with colleagues from the Transitional Justice Institute at Ulster University, she has examined reparations for conflict-related sexual violence, examining gendered understandings of justice and reparation in global settings; as well as specific work examining the potential for reparations for women following the Northern Ireland conflict.
The Women, Peace and Security Agenda:
Aisling's work examines both feminist engagement with the workings of the UN system, including examining the relationship between the UN human rights system and the UN Security Council, as well as a specific focus on the implementation of the women, peace and security agenda of the Security Council. Aisling applies gender policy and planning theory to work examining National Action Plans on Women, Peace and Security and implementation of the women, peace and security agenda in post-conflict peacebuilding.
Aisling's work is concerned with questioning the nature and character of humanitarian action globally and its impact on the lives of women and girls. Previous work has examined gender and paternalism in humanitarianism; while current work examines the relationship between humanitarianism and human rights and how both modalities work to advance strategies to address violence against women and girls in humanitarian settings.
