And… that's that. Brett Kavanaugh will join the Supreme Court. The balance is now 5-4 on a variety of issues, but not all — BK is a traditional globalist, not Donald Trump in a black robe. The oldest and most doddering justices on the court are hardcore liberals; Ruth "What Are The Amendements Again?" Bader Ginsburg is 85. She's not on the right side of the American political divide to have a mysterious Scalia/Vince-Foster-style death, but every year after 85 becomes more of a statistical miracle. It could be 6-3 before 2020.
How did this happen? How did Brett Kavanaugh survive the onslaught? How did fifty Senators resist the pressure to vote against him? Why do so many people think this will result in a "red wave" in the midterms, rather than the oft-predicted "Blue Wave" that was going to sweep the Nazis out of power? Why didn't the people who were making the decision listen to Hollywood, Wall Street, George Soros, and the rest of the Swamp?
The answer is simple: Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed for the same reason that so many people die of pneumonia nowadays.
Long-time readers may recall that I was hospitalized for pneumonia five and a half years ago. It was a little worse than I let on at the time. Just a few months after that, I came down with pneumonia again, while I was in the hospital for my January 2014 crash. That time they threw the proverbial kitchen sink at it, including Levaquin, which eventually got it under control at the cost of some utterly insane scratching fits where I managed to put my fingernails into my skin trying to get the bugs out.
When it was all over I spoke to a couple of friends who had been in a similar situation and they told me very similar stories. Pneumonia was deadly in the year 1900; it's now deadly again. Most common antibiotics are now worthless against it. The drug of last resort, colistin, is running out of steam. At some point in the future, pneumonia will be a death sentence. Which means that going to the hospital will be a death sentence, because that's a great place to catch it. Breaking your ribs will be a death sentence, because being unable to breathe deeply is a major cause of pneumonia.
How did this happen? It's simple: farmers have been slathering their livestock in antibiotics to protect their profit margins. Remember that scene in Unforgiven when the little girl tells Clint Eastwood that another of the hogs has "the fever"? That's the kind of thing you prevent with antibiotics. The problem is that you're also creating a fast-forward Darwinian test lab for bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Every year you dose all your chickens with a certain antibiotic, you're helping breed a bacterium that is resistant to that antibiotics. Those infections jump the species barrier into humans… and what happens next is obvious. We return to the medicine of the Victorian Age. Everything gets sprayed with bleach five times a day and it works, oh, I don't know, most of the time. Or some of the time.
Some time in the past twenty years, the Left in this country decided that they were going to start using the vast majority of their antibiotics against a right-wing infection. Entirely unobjectionable centrists like George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney became SEXIST RACIST BIGOTS. George W. Bush, a man so deeply spiritual and guilt-driven that he spends a large amount of his time nowadays running and cycling with the veterans who were injured in his wars, was characterized as BUSHITLER by the mainstream media.
When Trump ran for office, the Left brought out all their mainline antibiotics, but they'd lost effectiveness from having been used on "livestock" like John Kasich and Newt Gingrich. So most people didn't pay attention. Trump's racist? Well, you said that about GWB. Trump is sexist? You said that about Mittens. The American people had built up a resistance to accusations of garden-variety thoughtcrime.
Faced with this disaster, the Left then brought out their drugs of last resort. Trump is a RAPIST! He RAPED Stormy Daniels! He RAPED all sorts of people! His son is also a RAPIST MOLESTER! RAPE! RAPE! RAPE!
The American people, whose memory is not as short as some people would have us believe, thought long and hard about whether Trump needed to RAPE anybody. They listened to the entire "grab 'em by the pussy" speech, which was more of a comment on the perks of fame than any particular insight into Trump's RAPIST GORILLA MINDSET. They considered the fact that this guy has been sleeping with models and actresses for thirty-plus years. And they decided that the allegations were mostly nonsense. The average American man has paid money to see Stormy Daniels naked. Hell, HBO made her a national star a while ago. 99.99999999% of men saw that video and jerked off. Trump went out and banged her. Then he paid her to go away. The idea of giving money after sex to someone who takes money for sex doesn't rustle anybody's jimmies anymore. Not after 40 years of Hollywood propaganda. Not after Pretty Woman. The average American family man of 1950 would have been disgusted, but the Narrative Machine has spent billions of dollars to destroy that man and his point of view.
Which brings us to Justice Kavanaugh. The Left knew that having a 5-4 minority on the court would lead to disaster. After all, when they had a majority on the court they eviscerated Heritage America by all means necessary. A conservative majority court might reverse the process. So they looked into the medicine cabinet… and found nothing. Kavanaugh is a Boy Scout, in the old sense of the word. You might as well try to find something on Mike Pence.
Still, this nomination could not be allowed to proceed. So they brought out the bleach and the colistin and the forceps. They paid protestors. They used the media to direct a laser focus of hatred against Kavanaugh, his family, and anybody who would stand beside him. They went after the families of senators. Last but not least, they dragged Christine Blasey Ford out of her seven-figure house-plus-rental unit in Palo Alto to accuse the man of something that he supposedly did in high school.
In HIGH SCHOOL.
Her allegations were, to put it mildly, garbage. They were wildly implausible. They were either not corroborated or directly contradicted by everybody else who could have been involved. Her own family wouldn't stand behind her. Her best friend told the media that none of it was true. The American people had to endure a charade in which we were asked to believe that Ford had a "fear of flying" despite the documented fact that she regularly flew to Tahiti for surfing vacations. We were told that Ford had a second door in her house because of Kavanaugh's abuse when it was obviously and provably for the purpose of renting the place out.
It was the worst possible accusation — you're a RAPIST! — backed up by nothing but the polygraph examination of a woman who trains people to beat polygraphs. It was the antibiotic of last resort. And it didn't work. Kavanaugh's approval rate with women went UP during the whole charade. Some of these women were survivors of real sexual abuse who were tired of seeing their personal tragedies used for political gain. Others had been politically "on the fence" but came over to Kavanaugh's side out of sheer disgust with the tactics being used by the progressives to get their way.
Now there is nothing left to be done, and no more medicine in the cabinet for future battles. Nothing, that is, but the obvious message sent to anybody who might have any thought of representing a right-of-center or even centrist opinion in this country: they will ruin your life if you try it. Everybody will be hit with rape allegations from high school or possibly before. Everybody will be called a racist, a bigot, an Islamophobe. From now on, the antibiotics of last resort will be used on EVERYONE. Will they work? We will find out in a month, when the results of the midterms are in. But one thing is certain: the gloves are off now, all the way 'round. We are all now in what Setright called "the sanguinary cockpit of Passchendaele." No quarter asked or given. May God have mercy on us all.

Media OutReach – January 26, 2017 – A government body in Singapore has enlisted the services of Konica Minolta Business Solutions Asia (BSA), a leader in enterprise content management, to digitise 2.2 million pages of its hardcopy documents.
With growing awareness on costly service disruptions from unforeseen situations, the government body wanted to safeguard itself from physical damage and weathering of hardcopy files while ensuring long-term reference. In the event of any disruptions, it was also of vital importance for the government agency to recover data quickly and resume operations.
By end of July 2016, Konica Minolta set up a fully-equipped scanning facility at the agency's premises, where hardcopy documents are converted to softcopies using high-speed and high-quality document scanners. Beyond reliable recovery, the output is then categorised, indexed and stored securely in the server. This will boost the productivity of the agency's staff by enabling them to search for documents efficiently without having to spend valuable time rifling through file cabinets and storage boxes.
"Facilitating workflow transformation with our digital technologies to deliver greater convenience and higher productivity to customers' work processes is at the core of what we do," said Mr Jonathan Yeo, General Manager for Konica Minolta BSA. "Our efficiency, competitive pricing, and proven track record was among the reasons for the government agency's selection of our services."
Konica Minolta's Document Digitisation Service benefits include:
1. Protecting hardcopy files and documents for long-term future reference
2. Fast content recovery amidst disruptions
3. High volume hardcopy digitisation
4. Ease of document retrieval through categorising and indexing
5. Substantial time-saving and productivity boosts

This year's festival was truly incredible, with the big films as well as the independent ones, there was a vast variety of things to see, as well as people to meet. It's only been my second year covering the festival for my blog as press and it's been a lot of fun watching all sort of films, getting to go to press conferences and meeting some really wonderful and passionate people. During my time at the festival, I decided to watch as much as I possibly could, I never thought that it would be tiring and difficult, whilst being totally worth it!
I was also fortunate enough to meet and interview a couple of directors who had films out at the festival. Both were incredibly passionate about their work and the industry, it's clearly something that they are in love with, as am I. I love meeting these sorts of people, there's something humbling about sitting down to talk to someone about their work. I hope I get to do more of it in the future.
I saw 20 films in 12 days, here's a few words on each one:
- The Eagle Huntress – Surprisingly good
- A Day for Women – Unfortunate and terrible
- Into the Forest – Interesting, although made no sense in the end
- Barakah Meets Barakah – Good and funny
- Kills on Wheels – Inappropriately funny
- Sweet Dreams – Good
- A United Kingdom – Good but the music is a bit much
- A Monster Calls – Wonderful, beautiful and sad
- The Handmaiden – Good and weird
- The Eyes of my Mother – Creepy, scary, brilliant
- La La Land – Wonderful, stunning and extraordinary
- Manchester by the Sea – Decent but not great, no development at all
- David Lynch: The Art Life – Interesting and original
- Bleed for This – Okay, but not great, lacked heart
- Arrival – Better than most modern sci-fi films
- Birth of a Nation – On the nose score, in your face religious imagery, well told if a little anti-climactic
- Snowden – Better than I thought it would be
- Lion – Moving beyond words
- Nocturnal Animals – A story which essentially goes no where
- Free Fire – Good fun
Full reviews for some of these are on the way of course. In between these films I was normally queuing up for another film, chatting away to fellow delegates which is a lot more than I did last year. Frankly when I was new to the whole thing in 2015, I was nervous and I had no idea what to say to anyone! For any of you who have been to any random events by yourself where you have the chance to chat, get to know people and network, it can be hard! It's something I took with me to this year's festival in the sense that I just didn't want to just stand around any more. I wanted to speak to people, see what they've seen, find out about their work and get to know them, which I did with a great deal of apprehension.
Those who I spoke to included several journalists, a student, a screen writer, a teacher, an actress, a producer and many more. All of them trying to make something of themselves in this insanely difficult industry. Just like myself. Having this ambition to become a film critic is a hard one to realise but recently, especially after walking from screening to screening for two weeks, it's something that I want more than ever. I think that speaking to such a wide variety of people, finding out about their careers and what they have achieved and what they would like to achieve really got me thinking and it's something I'm never going to stop thinking about.
For those of you who want to cover something like this, it's as simple as putting yourself out there, but in a lot of ways. I had a couple of amazing moments this year and last, of knowing that I'm being given a press pass to cover the best thing we have for film goers and film lovers. It's a wonderful feeling to know that you're getting to attend something as fascinating as this! So the best thing to do is start a blog, take acting classes, become a vlogger, use social media to its maximum capacity and never give up.
I love getting to cover this festival, the films, the people, the time off work! There's so much to love and I'm already excited about next year. So, here's to 2017 and what will be the 61st BFI London Film Festival.
Keep. It. Reel.

Etiologic agents are those microorganisms and microbial toxins that cause disease in humans and include bacteria, bacterial toxins, viruses, fungi, rickettsiae, protozoans, and parasites. These disease-causing microorganisms may also be referred to as infectious agents. Arthropods and other organisms that transmit pathogens to animals (including humans) are called vectors.
Etiologic agents, vectors, and materials containing etiologic agents are recognized as hazardous materials. Materials containing etiologic agents are regularly transported from one location to another by common land and air carriers. Materials containing etiologic agents must be appropriately packaged to prevent breakage or leakage in order to avoid exposure of the package handlers, transporters, and the general public to the package contents. Materials containing etiologic agents must be packaged, labeled, and transported in accordance with all applicable regulations. Material containing etiologic agents being imported into the United States must be accompanied by a U.S. Public Health Service importation permit.
Importation Permits
Importation permits are issued only to the importer, who must be located in the United States. The importation permit, with the proper packaging and labeling, will expedite clearance of the package of infectious materials through the United States Public Health Service Division of Quarantine and release by U.S. Customs.
The importer is legally responsible for assuring that the foreign personnel package, label, and ship the infectious materials according to Federal and International regulations. Shipping labels with the universal biohazard symbol, the address of the importer, the permit number, and the expiration date, are also issued to the importer with the permit. The importer must send the labels and one or more copies of the permit to the shipper. The permit and labels inform the U.S. Customs Service and U.S. Division of Quarantine Personnel of the package contents.
Federal Regulation
The importation of etiologic agents is governed by the following federal regulation:
USPHS 42 CFR - Part 71 Foreign Quarantine. Part 71.54 Etiologic
agents, hosts, and vectors.
(a) A person may not import into the United States, nor distribute after importation, any etiologic agent or any arthropod or other animal host or vector of human disease, or any exotic living arthropod or other animal capable of being a host or vector of human disease unless accompanied by a permit issued by the Director.
(b) Any import coming within the provisions of this section will not be released from custody prior to receipt by the District Director of U.S. Customs Service of a permit issued by the Director (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
Items Requiring Permits
Etiologic agents
It is impractical to list all etiologic agents on this website. In general, an import permit is needed for any infectious agent known or suspected to cause disease in humans.
Biological materials
Unsterilized specimens of human and animal tissues (such as blood, body discharges, fluids, excretions or similar material) containing an infectious or etiologic agent require a permit in order to be imported.
Hosts and Vectors
- Animals. Any animal known or suspected of being infected with an organism capable of causing disease in humans may require a permit issued by CDC. Importation of live turtles of less than 4 inches in shell length and live nonhuman primates is regulated by the CDC, Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dq/). Telephone (404) 498-1600 for further information.
- Bats. All live bats require an import permit from the CDC and the U.S. Department of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Services. The application for a CDC import permit for live exotic bats is on this website.
- Arthropods. Any living insect or other arthropod that is known or suspected of containing an etiologic agent (human pathogen) requires a CDC import permit.
- Snails. Snail species capable of transmitting a human pathogen require a permit from the Centers for Disease Control.
Packaging Guidelines
Infectious materials imported into this country must be packaged to withstand breakage and leakage of contents, and labeled, as specified in the following federal regulations:
- DOT 49 CFR PART 173 - Transportation of Etiologic Agents
For international shipments, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations should be consulted.
Additional helpful information regarding shipping and packaging guidelines:

Trick School USA
"I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive." - Gilda Radner
I was born in Kalispell, Montana
I was the last of the litter to find a family. It could be because I have an under bite. But one day when I was about 5 months old I got to move in with 2 fun people. I have a yard to run in and I get to sleep on the bed. Some time other people and other dogs come visit me. I like that. Someday I would like to have another dog live at my house.
I love to crawl under the couch and take naps. It is a tight squeeze but it is my quiet place.
When I am on campus I try to say hi to as many people as I can. I stay on a leash because I am so small that I might get stepped on.
That is easy. We have a place in Minnesota with a big wet area (I guess they call it a lake) and I love all of the new smells at that place. I can hardly wait to go again.
Taking walks, running around in circles like a crazy dog, doing tricks, and of course napping.
I really like people and I love to be petted.

Co-living, the new lifestyle mantra within the millennial generation; is a form of housing which combines private living spaces with shared communal facilities.
But, do you know?
Co-living or 'communal living' is not a new concept - In fact, in many countries it dates back as far as the 17th century. Medieval villages, religious cults, monks living in monasteries, the hippie movement of the 1970s, boarding houses, Post World War II housing are all examples of co-living solutions that catered to a common belief system while also addressing the economic constraints of its inhabitants.
The biggest driving force behind the rising popularity of co-living spaces are the young renters moving to new cities for job prospects who are looking to meet and connect with new people.
Experiences are replacing ownership of assets for the millennials and travel is an important part of their life – be it work related or leisure oriented.
For the millennial population, job mobility is the primary priority and home ownership is secondary. Unlike Gen X, homes are not the same emotional investments as they used to be. Rather, homes are viewed as a consumption product which suits housing requirements in a particular phase of life.
Co-living usually operate on a plug-and-play model that saves tenants the hassle of dealing with everyday household chores and also from the burden of paying frequent utility bills; giving them a lifestyle which is comfortable and with no strings attached.
Can you design a co-living space in such a way that it benefits both –people living in it and the startups running it?
• A home away from home – How can a person's private space or community space make them feel at home?
• Open yet private – The millennial generation is open to new social interactions yet mostly looking for their own "me" time. Feel the complexity of this dual nature and provide solutions.
• Optimum space utilization – Can you offer the best design facilities within the least possible area? Utilize the space in best way to accommodate maximum people in the building.
• Affordability – Needless to say, the rooms per person should be budget friendly. A lot of you who are living in cities far from your homes would surely understand this.

Jan 16, 2008 Is it safe? Eating cloned and living cloned
How-to-clone chart, compliments of NIH's National Human Genome Research Institute. When will the human how-to-clone chart be issued?
The United States Food and Drug Administration this week cleared cloned beef, milk, chickens, eggs, bacon, gelatine (you get the picture) as safe for human consumption. Although the current expense of cloning is too high to sell animal meat from cloned animals in the supermarket (cloning apparently costs in the neighborhood of $16,000 for the first cloned lamb and $10,000 for those cloned in the same session), that does not negate the cloning of animals destined to breed super-animals for perfectly tender steak, oceans of delicious milk, and mountains of gourmet eggs with the yolks bakers prize.
If the eating of cloned animal products is safe — and the jury should still be out on that — what is it like to live cloned? Do brain defects, physical defects, disease and other sickness attend being cloned? Unless such risks can be ruled out, why allow cloning, including when it comes to cloning humans?
The current literature seems conclusive that cloning cows is simple enough, so cloning humans would appear to be just as simple, at least when removing any moral or ethical hesitations, which should be substantial hesitations. How would a human feel about being a clone or the descendant of a cloned human? What about if the human had dozens of identical clones from various age ranges and generations (hello, Boys from Brazil, or, in the FDA's scenario, bulls and hamburgers from Brazil). If humans are cloned, will that create a new type of discrimination — anti-clone discrimination? Will people hesitate to date cloned humans and their descendants and to procreate with them? Decades from now, how will it feel for lawyers to walk into court and say "good morning, your honor" to a cloned judge.
Where do I stand on all this as a lawyer? My concerns are both about the health of the cloned animal (and those producing the clones) and the health of those eating the clones and their offspring, including ethical and moral concerns. I am a vegan, so my eating will not be affected much by this, except when some cloned butter is slipped into the restaurant vegetables that are represented as sauteed in olive oil. On the other hand, most people are neither vegan nor vegetarian, and will be directly affected by animal cloning.
The whole concept of having cloned humans and non-human animals is very chilling to me. For the sake of the welfare of would-be cloned animals and their descendants, to begin with, I am inclined to oppose permitting cloning. However, it is not as easy as that for me, because I am not one automatically to embrace new government bans, because the existence and enforcement of those bans can include draconian actions and results — including criminal enforcement — that sometimes or often times are worse than the problem they seek to prevent in the first place.
In any event, as with bovine growth hormone/rGBH, no scientific test will be able to distinguish cloned animals and their milk and meat from the non-cloned versions. Eerie, indeed, to say the least. Maybe this will make vegetarianism a more popular option; maybe. Jon Katz.
ADDENDUM I: After writing this entry, I read this basic fact sheet from the NIH's National Human Genome Research Institute. It raises questions about the possibility of successfully cloning primates (which category includes humans). This makes it all the more scary to consider that people are out there who are willing to try to clone humans, and the results may be more freakish and ghoulish than imaginable.
It is not clear whether the fact sheet's following statement is outdated: "Reproductive cloning is a very inefficient technique and most cloned animal embryos cannot develop into healthy individuals. For instance, Dolly was the only clone to be born live out of a total of 277 cloned embryos. This very low efficiency, combined with safety concerns, presents a serious obstacle to the application of reproductive cloning." (Emphasis added.)
ADDENDUM II: Following are information and commentary relating to this entry:

The charming city – Pontevedra
Today we will visit Pontevedra, one of the most beautiful historical centers – with permission from Santiago de Compostela – and the best preserved in Galicia. It boasts an ancient heritage that incorporates the curious church of the Peregrine, a national monument with a scallop-shaped plant, and natural heritage with more than 20 kilometers of paths. The list of tourist attractions is endless and, nevertheless, it is not your biggest claim. Pontevedra is an unmissable visit because it offers a unique experience: you can live on foot and enjoy yourself with all your senses, because all the city center is restricted to the traffic.
Built with patience along the centuries, Pontevedra, with its delicious streets and squares, owns the most beautiful historical collections of Galicia. Walking along its ancient streets, full of hidden details to discover in every corner, will take you backwards in the centuries. The internationally awarded Old Town of Pontevedra is now and example of recovering the value of the past and mixing it with the present. Its shops, bars and terraces in small (even tiny) squares, with no cars around you, are the perfect place to enjoy and taste some of the most delicious Galician tapas. And, of course, we will do it!
This tour includes:
Knowledge: An Official English speaking Guide from Breathingalicia during your guided visit to the city. As locals, we will visit magical corners and squares while discovering the history of Pontevedra.
Silence: Internationally awarded due to its urbanistic plan, no traffic passes through the historical center, allowing you to feel a deep peace of mind.
Taste: We will delight ourselves with 2 tapas in town with 2 drinks included.
How to get to Pontevedra? It´s easy! Please click here for full details.
We will be happy to offer you a private transfer from Vigo or Santiago. Please email us for further details.
We kindly ask you to book this emotion with at least 48 hours in advance. If you wish to join us after please email us.
Dress standard: Comfortable clothes and walking shoes are recommended.
We also recommend you bring a bottle of water, sunscreen, and a hat during the summer months. Winters are not cold, but they are rainy so that a raincoat might be necessary!
Our suggestions…
If staying around a few days, book a day to visit the vibrant city of Vigo by train and enjoy great views of the estuary, buy your tickets for Cies Islands or cross the border by train and visit our Portuguese friends in Oporto, a World Heritage City.

The two women who dared to speak up
The state governments desperately wanted them out of the investigations but the courts reinstated them, report Gigil Varghese & Ketaki Ghoge.india Updated: May 06, 2007 01:04 IST
Police officers Dr Pradnya Saravade and Geetha Johri, the former in Maharashtra and the latter in Gujarat, were threatening to blow the lid off widespread corruption and illegal conduct that could have implicated their state governments. The state governments desperately wanted them out of the investigations. The courts reinstated them.
That, in a nutshell, is what happened. But who are these women, and why did the governments want so desperately to see the back of them?
Saravade, additional commissioner of police with the Anti-Corruption Bureau in Mumbai, was sidelined by the Maharashtra government when she was scrutinising complaints of large-scale corruption in an ambitious state government scheme to re-house millions of slum dwellers in a city where land is the most precious commodity. Six months ago, the bureau asked the state government for a special team to investigate 26 complaints against the Slum Rehabilitation Authority, a government body that the chief minister heads. The government rejected this request. Today the complaints have swelled to nearly 300.
A surgeon trained at Grant Medical College in Mumbai, Saravade began her career in the police force in 1989. She has a reputation of being an upright, no-nonsense officer. In her previous positions, she has investigated the stock market scam involving Harshad Mehta, cases of human trafficking, cyber crimes, violations of intellectual property rights and counterfeiting. She was instrumental in setting up the city's cyber crime cell.
Geetha Johri, who joined the police force in 1982, is inspector general of police in Gujarat. She was investigating allegations that Sohrabuddin Sheikh and his wife Kausar Bi had been killed in fake encounters in a state where Muslims live in constant insecurity after the state-sanctioned pogrom against them five years ago.
Her team's investigation, initiated after a Supreme Court directive, led to four meticulous reports that pin down Gujarat's Anti Terrorist Squad's staging of a fake encounter with Sheikh on November 26, 2005. The reports also raised a question about Kausar Bi's disappearance. The reports hinted that the state government had colluded in the encounter. Anticipating interference from the government, Johri also sent a copy of her report to the assistant registrar of the Supreme Court.
Is it a wonder that the state governments tried to sideline these women?

On our 50th anniversary
The Society of Leadership Fellows was established by St George's House in 2016 to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the House. Since then we have developed our series of Leadership Conversations exploring 14 different aspects of leadership that are of concern to our Leadership Fellows as we support each other in seeking to offer exceptional standards of leadership. The insights arising from our Leadership Conversations are captured on our Insights page here.
Our 250 Leadership Fellows
We have limited the size of our Fellowship to 250, so that it is possible for Fellows to get to know a good number of their peers when they join us for events at St George's House. Please click here for a summary of our Fellows' leadership profiles, and here for their photos. You will be struck by the diversity of our leadership community and the number of entrepreneurs who combine their leadership of commercial organisations with leading a wide variety of community bodies and charities.
Terms of membership
Each Leadership Fellow is appointed for a 12 month term. Fellows are liable to pay the annual membership fee in full (£240 plus VAT) at the time of appointment, when we include the profile of new Fellows in our public list of Leadership Fellows on the profiles page on this site. All Fellows agree to join at least one of our Leadership Conversations during a 12 month period (24 months for International Fellows).
Leadership Conversations take place within the framework of our guiding principles that we have developed with our Leadership Fellows and their themes are set out on our Conversations page.
Making a booking for a Conversation
At the time of their appointment or reappointment, we ask all Leadership Fellows to make a provisional booking to join one Leadership Conversation during their 12-month term.
We are only able to include the profile of a Fellow in our published list of active Fellows once we have received this booking. Our terms of booking for Conversations make it possible for Fellows to transfer their booking from one Conversation to another. We also make it possible for Fellows to nominate an appropriate senior colleague to take their place if they find that they have to drop out of a Conversation at the last minute.
Breakthroughs + dinners for Fellows
Our next Breakthroughs + dinner exclusively for Leadership Fellows is scheduled to take place on Wednesday July 29th from 6.00 – 9.15pm. The format of these dinners is set out on a separate page, together with the creative outputs arising from our first three dinners.
Reappointment of Leadership Fellows
The reappointment of Leadership Fellows is at the discretion of St George's House. We are currently giving priority to reappointing leaders who are drawing on the ideas generated during Leadership Conversations to support their own leadership development and that of their immediate team.
Invitations to join the Society
Decisions to invite individual leaders to join the Society are taken by the Warden of St George's House, the Revd Canon Dr Hueston Finlay, on the recommendation of the Membership Advisor and Director.
We maintain a waiting list of individuals who have been through the appointment process, so that it is possible for them to join the Society as vacancies become available. If you would be interested in joining us, please email our Membership Advisor, Michael Pitfield, with a brief summary of your key leadership experiences: firstname.lastname@example.com
If you have any enquiries about any aspect of our work with leaders, please telephone our Co-ordinator, Nicola Pryer, on 01753 848791, or email her on:

The 2010 Tony Awards will celebrate Broadway's finest on June 13. This year is unique in the fact that Broadway's best are also some of film and television's most entertaining. With stars ranging from Denzel Washington to Kelsey Grammer and Christopher Walken, the evening promises to be intriguing for fans of entertainment.
TheImproper caught up with some of the event's biggest nominees.
Jude Law, Best Performance by a Lead Actor in a Play (Hamlet)
"It's really, really thrilling to be nominated. I thought Hamlet was on the wrong side of January, to be honest. Basically, to survive the run it became a very personal and physical journey. We were thrilled to do well in London, and then thrilled to do well in Denmark, and really thrilled to succeed here, but we were done and dusted, and sort of put the thing to bed in December. So now all these months later to be recognized is really, really good."
On one of many great actors who have played Hamlet: "I don't know, I never really thought of it like that. I suppose there are an awful lot of awful actors as well probably who have played Hamlet, too, aren't there?" (laughs)
On the personality that he gave to the role: "You have to be Hamlet. Hamlet isn't a role, he becomes you. I think that's why each version is ultimately very different, because he kind of demands of you that you open yourself up to him. I think what I liked about him was ultimately his complexity between loving life and hating it all at the same time."
On the challenges of playing Hamlet: "For me personally it was always physical. Eating the right things, sleeping the right amount, and being able to just get through eight shows per week for six months."
On leaving the character at the end of the day: "It's like a purge, you go to work and kind of get everything out, and then at the end of the day you've actually got nothing else left to give. What you miss when you finish doing the run is that purge. You suddenly realize you've got all this stuff in your head that you've got to carry around with you, and you've got no outlet for it."
On his family's reaction to his nomination: "I called my dad, and he kept asking 'Tony? Tony who?'"
Sheryl Kaller, Best Direction of a Musical (Next Fall)
[Playwrite] Jeff [Nauffts'] play is just the greatest honor and joy to work on. And to be able to show my daughters that you can be a mom and do this at the same time. Sometimes I'm not so great on either end, but when you can get to this point it's an honor."
"I think to be acknowledged as Best Director for the ensemble cast for this beautiful play is the best part. I think that Geoffrey wrote a great American play. It's about faith and it's about relationships, and it's about family. When I was a kid I would watch the Tonys with my mother, and I can't believe I'm going to be in Radio City Musical Hall, so all that is surreal and wonderful and an honor. We're the little engine that could. I can't believe I'm sitting here really."
Geoffrey Nauffts, Best Play (author, Next Fall)
On the move from Off-Broadway to Broadway: "Next Fall sort of lives free as if this is an opportunity to go back and explore and really hit the moments that maybe never necessarily landed completely. It was a really invaluable experience, and a luxury to go back in there having it already in our bones. The actors already had it in their bones, but the play just resonates on a deeper level."
Jessica Hecht, Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Play (A View From the Bridge)
On how she learned of her nomination: "I was walking with my daughter to this synagogue with her fifth grade class to do an immigration study, so I thought, 'I'm slightly rude for not watching the 28 ten year olds.' I was so elated. I thought, 'I'm supposed to be very Zen and not care about anything.' But I'm human, right? I feel so happy to be part of a community that I always aspire to be part of. You spend your whole career thinking, 'If I only could do something with those people, if I could only work with those people.' And then you get to, or you get acknowledged in the same breath, it just makes you feel really good."
Valerie Harper, Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play (Looped)
On whether or not she's Improper: "I can be! Tallulah [Bankhead] was big time. Ooooh boy, was she improper. And she was totally elegant and a lady at the same time. She was this bawdy broad, terrible toilet mouth, unbelievable bad language, and yet elegant. She was at home with Prince Philip , or anybody else. There was an amazing dichotomy in that human being."
On similarities between herself and Ms. Bankhead: "We're both actresses. I love the theater, she adored the theater. That's our biggest similarity. We don't have any of the same quirks. She was a heavy smoker, I don't smoke. I never drank. She loved bourbon. I don't do drugs, she did cocaine, she took codeine, and other pharmaceuticals, lots of pills, a lot of mood-altering. She was an addict, and I am not, except for brownies and pizza, and any crusty bread. We have a similar enough structure. That helped me a lot because her eyes went down, and her mouth went down."
"We were devastated that Looped closed. And now, it's Phoenix out of the ashes. This nomination is acknowledging it. We're doing it in Toronto for ten weeks. It may come back to New York, you never know. I don't know that New York has had enough of Tallulah."
"If I could talk to Tallulah today I would say, 'Thank you for living this extraordinary, outrageous life that I could then get the privilege of playing on Broadway.' And I'd also say, 'Don't be guilty, you didn't cause Mom's death, you were just an infant.' And she did, she felt guilt about that. She said, 'I have nothing to be guilty of.' But who would say that? What person would say, 'I didn't feel guilty about my mother dying in childbirth?' But, she did. I want to hold her hand and say, 'Taloo, let it go. It wasn't your fault.'"
Kelsey Grammer, Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical (La Cage aux Folles)
On whether or not he is Improper in La Cage aux Folles: "I'm definitely improper at times, both on and offstage!" (laughs)

Bullfighters from around the world have gathered in Colombia's capital Bogota to call for the city's bullring to be reopened.
They were supporting local bullfighters who have been protesting for more than 100 days.
The sport was banned in 2012 by the Mayor although a Constitutional Court ruled in September that the ban violated "the right to artistic expression" and gave a six-month period to resume bullfighting.

We've got our Pet Teezer brushes awhile ago but we have been so busy with birthdays and travels that we hadn't a chance to properly try them out.
We've got both the de-tangling and deshedding options.
The de-tangling brush uses a two-tier teeth technology – the long teeth reaches down to the undercoat to remove dirt whilst the shorter teeth smooth the hair and protect against matting. It does so gently without any tugging or pulling. That sounds good to us. And approved by George.
(George: Why are you bothering me when I'm having a nap?)
We don't think we need the de-shedder as it's meant for de-shedding double-coated dogs. George, nor I are shedders. Maybe just a little so we can try them too. 🙂
May's comment: The PET TEEZER was born out of their detangling hairbrush, Tangle Teezer which became a must-have hairbrush that effortlessly detangled with no pulling or tugging.
But not all dogs have the same coats so even Pet Teezers have two options.
I don't groom them myself but I do brush them often. And brushes like the Pet Teezer is really good to tease away the matts.
Thought the following infographics was rather informative on how to groom the different dog coats.

Tiny Science II, A Cult Classic

I'd be needing a new pair of underwear after that. Also, isn't the disclaimer normally at the beginning of the video?
It's like the horror movie where you're yelling "don't go down to the basement" at the screen but they do it anyway.
Great editing. I laughed out loud at the end. Your talent should have had a full face shield.
/giphy face shield projectile
Loved it - reminded of our "experiments" (i.e., blow something up) as kids with baking soda and vinegar in sealed bottles.
I bet this video caused HR to shutdown the production of daily videos. Sad.
@medz nah we just ran out of ideas. Only so many science things you can do on a small scale.
Plus I ripped the butt out of the yellow suit
"This was stupid, do not attempt" only makes me want to do it more. I love it.
Ideas -
Shot glass of diet coke and a mento?
Use one of the speakers you sell and make Oobleck?
Holiday Fire (I don't know what this is, but it says "ADULTS ONLY" so you know it must be cool, right? Bring it on.
@Ozzie2191 Way ahead of you with the first two ideas (not tiny but still)
The banana boat speaker is one of my favorite videos we've done, it's still so cool to me to watch how the vibrations line up with the frame rate. None of that was done in editing!
@Moose @Ozzie2191 I pull out my Banana Boat speaker once in a while and play with cornstarch and water. It's really neat. (Better than jello.)

May 15, 2019 (China Knowledge) - On Tuesday, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Greek President Prokopios Pavlopoulos in Beijing. This was seen as China's push into the European Union with Greece as the next foothold. Back in March, Italy officially took part in China's Belt and Road Instructure building initiative, which is their first foothold.
"Greece is a good friend to China," Xi said and called on Pavlopoulos to assist in making Belt and Road a success. Pavlopoulos said he was happy to visit during the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Ties between the countries grew close in recent years. During Greece's debt crisis, China gave its financial assistance and a Chinese state-owned company bought Greece's largest port of Piraeus. "The Port of Piraeus, which has won extensive acclaim, is an exemplar of successful cooperation between China and Greece," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said Monday.
Greece took part in several Chinese related events. In late April, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras attended the Belt and Road summit in China. Tsipras also took part for the first time in China's "16+1" summit with Central and Eastern European countries.
He commented the two countries enjoy a "full alignment of their economic interests," during a recent interview with Xinhua News Agency.

This works good with crecent rolls because you can just fold them into themselves with the tuna or chicken mixture in the center, we call them Tuna or chicken Triangles :-)
Nothing special...rather dry, and I even added extra cheese, sour cream, and mayo

These are super fast to make and very filling. They are great for those nights when you don't know what to make or for a fast supper. Sometimes I add sliced black olives to the tuna. We always...
My grandmother used to make these, but we always used sour cream instead of mayonnaise, and I use Mrs. Dash instead of dill weed. Excellent substitutions if you want to try them.
Really simple! I used sweet relish in my husband's and he loved them. You can also add boiled eggs. They didnt take hardly anytime to make and they are really great for bagged lunches!
These were quick and easy to make. I wish I could have got more filling inside, but I was weary of tuna explosions. A good basic recipe.
Sooo good and simple for a quick Good Friday meal! Used lemon pepper instead of dill and turned out great! Both boys ate multiple pockets. Definitely a keeper! Thank you for posting and shar...

The ability to compute the optimal size of data buffers is a critical task for large databases. As databases grow to hundreds of billions of bytes, it becomes economically impractical to cache the entire database in RAM. So Oracle professionals must find the point of diminishing marginal returns for the addition of RAM resources. Being able to do this can save a company hundreds of thousands of dollars in RAM expenses.
Oracle9i introduces a new view, v$db_cache_advice, that can predict the benefit of additional data buffers in the data buffer cache. This view shows the estimated miss rates for twenty potential buffer cache sizes, ranging from 10 percent of the current size to 200 percent of the current size. This allows Oracle DBAs to accurately predict the optimal size for the RAM data buffer.

Jayme Lynn Blaschke is a freelance interviewer, which earns him points for courage under fire: interviewing is not really very easy, and writers and editors are sometimes among the most difficult of subjects. Voices of Vision is a collection of Blaschke's interviews with editors, writers, and, as he calls them, "comic book creators" in science fiction and fantasy. The result is a look at a group of artists (and yes, that includes the editors, most of whom are writers themselves and who bring that sensibility to their work as editors) as varied as the twin genres themselves.
I found the interviews with the editors -- Gardner Dozois, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Stanley Schimdt, Gordon Van Gelder, and Scott Edelman -- the most exciting for reasons that I can't quite explain. Call it the editor in my own makeup, or maybe it's just my conviction that these are the people who are molding the literature: the stories they select for publication are the ones that influence the next round of stories, because for all intents and purposes, these stories are what other writers are looking at and reacting to.
What is most engaging about this book is that it is a glimpse at the belly of the beast, so to speak -- science fiction and fantasy as a business, a discipline, a means of livelihood, and a community. Writers are not the only ones fascinated by how other writers work, and I think anyone who reads science fiction or fantasy (or both) is interested in how and why editors make the decisions they do. Blaschke is an engaging interviewer and has obviously done his homework on each subject -- the questions are specific, pertinent, and invite elaboration, and each interview begins with a short introduction detailing the circumstances (including the information that those with Gardner Dozois and Gordon Van Gelder were first published in Green Man Review.)
All the positive reviews I've garnered thus far--coupled with the not-disastrous royalty statement from a couple of weeks back--have convinced me that the time is ripe to start general preliminary work on compiling a follow-up volume (subtitle: Everything I Have Left in the Files). Perhaps, if things remain somewhat stable in my life, I will have a manuscript to send in to Nebraska by December or January.

Here are some common questions about Karaka Excursions, Yachts and Transfers
What if the weather is bad?
The Captain decides if the weather is good enough for sailing, if not we will try to reschedule your booking for a different date if possible or issue a full refund.
Non suitable weather is:
- Wind- entrance to the Old Town Port is too narrow and with strong wind it can be too dangerous to dock
- Waves- if the waves are too big, we won't be able to sail to the Old Town, however for some tours we have alternative routes that might be possible
- Thunderstorm- depending on the strength and duration of the storm, for shorter showers you can always take cover in one of the saloons aboard the ship.
Where does the tour begin and end?
- Elaphite Island Cruise:
The tour starts from Port Gruž (main new port) from a dock, in front of Obala Stjepana Radića 16 (restaurant Glorijet). The tour ends at the same spot. Pick up and drop off is available from designated spots or hotels Dubrovnik and the area surrounding it, for an additional fee.
- Game of Thrones Tour:
The tour starts from Port Gruž (main new port) from a dock, in front of Obala Stjepana Radića 16 (restaurant Glorijet). The tour ends in the Old Town.
- Sunset & Dinner Cruise:
The tour starts from the Old Town port (usually from the small pier, if its available). The tour ends at the same spot.
When does the tour start?
Where can I book the tickets in Dubrovnik?
We have two counters in the Old Town. One is in the Old Town port, on the right corner facing the sea. The other one is in the gateway from the Old Town port to the cathedral. Both counters look like the bow of the ship; Karaka. You can also buy tickets in our office in Dvori Lapad (Masarykov put 1).
Do you have a vegan menu?
Our choice of dishes is vegan friendly, however we do not have a separate menu for vegans.
If you have special dietary requirements, please contact us to discuss the possibilities during booking your ticket.
What is the deadline for arranging transfers for the Elaphite Island Cruise?
The deadline is till 19:00, on the day before departure. If you don't arrange it by then, you will have to come without arranged transfer to Port Gruž. Boarding starts at 08:30.
Can you pick us up from our apartment?
Unfortunately, no. In Dubrovnik we are only allowed to stop on certain locations, so we can only organize pick-up from the closest designated spot to your apartment.
What happens if the transfer bus doesn't come exactly on time?
The traffic congestion in Dubrovnik is very often, so if the bus is a bit late, please wait a couple of minutes before calling the agency.
Is it possible to come with a vehicle to the Old Town port?

These activities range from sport/fitness such as yoga and boot camp, to non-based sporting activities for those less energetic students, such as English speaking classes, giving all students the chance to spend their time productively.
There are many different sports teams representing the school in competitions, in many sports, some of these being football and basketball. The students wishing to participate in a sport are given the opportunity to play in the ISSA tournament (International School Sports Association). This is a 3 day event where the students get to travel and play in countries such as Portugal Germany and Turkey. The students have the chance to mix with other teams of all different nationalities from different parts of the world which has proven to be a great success year after year. Sporting fixtures are also arranged with schools locally to the area encouraging the integration with English students.
The following student societies and clubs take place at our boarding school:
- Japanese Club
- Chinese Club
- Media Club
- Choir
These clubs are becoming increasingly popular each term, with a high percentage of students not being one of the above nationalities wanting to join. This highlights the schools ability to create an atmosphere that students feel comfortable within mixing with different nationalities and wanting to learn different languages.
Each term there are musicals and drama productions integrated by our students, in addition to talent shows and regular fund raising activities.

BENSALEM, Pa. (CBS) — The Department of Justice lawsuit against Bensalem Township over the construction of a mosque is moving forward after a federal judge refused to toss the case.
In a 12 page opinion, District Judge Michael M. Baylson ruled that the DOJ alleged enough to take the case one step closer to trial.
"The township is certainly disappointed, said solicitor Joseph Pizzo, "but the denial of the motion to dismiss is not totally unexpected."
Pizzo says the township will vigorously defend the case. The feds allege that the township denied the Bensalem Masjid's application for a zoning use variance back in 2014.
The Muslim group had been using a fire hall for their religious worship services, but it did not meet their religious needs so they decided to build a mosque.
The DOJ alleges the township treated the group's zoning application differently because they are Muslim.
"The township did not, will not and has not discriminated against any religious group," Pizzo said.
He says the parties will meet with the judge for a settlement conference and then move forward with discovery.
The Department of Justice declined to comment.

When the rains came, the winds howled and the temperature dipped, Aaron Licudine, 24, of West Linn, Ore., scrambled to find shelter. With no food, water, cell phone, compass or the proper clothes, Licudine, who was hiking the Oregon Badlands Wilderness Area near Bend, finally hunkered down in a cave [source: Lerten and Burns].
When Licudine failed to return to the campsite, his friend dialed 911. Nearly 40 members of the Deschutes County Sheriff's Search and Rescue team bounded into action, riding horses and ATVs in search of the missing hiker. A helicopter took to the air as ground searchers scoured the countryside. The next day, rescue workers found Licudine cold, wet and hungry, but otherwise OK [source: Lerten and Burns].
Experts say Licudine did most everything wrong when he went for his jaunt in the 30,000 acre wilderness area that contains harsh terrain, lava flows, ancient junipers and rock formations. He wasn't properly prepared. He didn't have a map, nor did he have a compass or cell phone, all of which are essential when hiking. He even didn't have the right clothes [source: Lerten and Burns].
Whether walking across the Appalachian Trail or the backcountry of Oregon, proper preparation is crucial on a long hike. Having the right clothes, enough food, and the correct gear will not only make the experience more enjoyable, but it could save your life.
Safety First
The first thing to do before starting out on a long hike is to remember that not all hikes are created equal. Preparing for an extended hike on the Appalachian Trail in summer is much different from hiking across Alaska's Denali National Park in March. Hiking the High Peaks of the Adirondacks in June is much different from hiking the region in December. No matter the location, or the time of year, you should always bring these items on your trip:
- map and compass
- first aid kit
- water filter
- water purification tablets
- multipurpose tool
- space blanket for insulation or shelter
- nylon cord
- flashlight
- sunglasses
- matches
- extra food
- clothing
Duct tape is also important. Duct tape can mend clothing, repair holes in tents and sleeping bags. Hikers can even use it to bind up a blistered foot [source: Hiking Reports].
Also, make sure a compass and map are easily accessible. It's also important to know how to use them, even if a GPS is available. A map won't break if you drop it, a GPS might. A compass and map, moreover, don't need power to work. What will happen if the battery on the GPS runs out of juice? Although a hiker doesn't have to be an explorer like Roald Amundsen, having good navigation skills ensures a quick way out in case of emergency. It's always good to know where you are at all times [source: Smuts].
Important safety tip: Always let someone know where you're going and what time you expect to be back. If you don't show up at the prescribed time, make sure your friend calls for help. If you lose your way, keep a cool head. Stay in one place and conserve energy. If you can, find a water source. You can survive a long time just on water. And remember those matches that we said were essential? A fire will not only warm you, it can also act as signal for rescuers [source: Smuts].
Food and Water
If you're backpacking for a day or a weekend, you can take whatever food you like and enough fresh water to keep you sated. But if your hike is going to last several days, you need to pack the right type of foods and be prepared to find natural sources of water.
Hiking and backpacking burns a lot of energy. According to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, hikers should pack between 1.5 to 2 pounds (.68 to .91 kilograms) of high-calorie food for every day on the trail. Don't bring any cans, or foods, such as vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are high in water and heavy to carry. If you're hiking in cold weather, it takes more calories to stay warm. As such, the ATC advises hikers to bring 2.5 pounds (1.13 kilograms) of food per day [source: Appalachian Trail Conservancy].
Snacking on the trail is encouraged. Snacks, such as chocolate, energy bars, dried fruit and nuts are good for a quick nibble and can easily be transported. In fact, it's better to constantly snack instead of eat large meals. Snacking gives you more energy [source: Appalachian Trail Conservancy].
Chances of finding a water cooler on any trail are nil. Before heading out, know where natural springs and other fresh water sources are located. Plan carefully, because these sources can dry up in the summer [source: Appalachian Trail Conservancy].
Boiling is one way to purify water. Another is to treat it with iodine or chlorine tablets. Although boiling is time consuming, it's the best way to destroy bacteria and other organisms that can cause illness. Let the water boil fiercely for at least one minute.
Water filters are also handy. If you're going to be using a portable water filter, make sure it's from a reliable manufacturer. Although some water filters claim to remove certain types of bacteria and organisms, they may not [source: Appalachian Trail Conservancy].
Foot Care
Never underestimate the importance of good foot care. You don't want your dogs barking on the trail. A good-fitting pair of boots can keep you and your pups smiling. The boots should have enough room for your toes, although the heels should be snug. In choosing a pair, make sure your feet are not sliding inside the boot when walking uphill [source: Vonhof].
Breaking in boots before a lengthy hike makes them less stiff and more comfortable. To loosen the boots up, wear them on short hikes and walks or around the house. A good-fitting boot will mold around the foot. Socks are important, too. Stay away from cotton socks, as cotton absorbs moisture. Wool or synthetic socks are preferable. Wash your socks every day on the trail [source: Vonhof].
Personal hygiene is another aspect of foot care. Clip your nails. Long toenails can snag on a sock and create pressure if the toe of the boot is too short or low. Learn how to prevent and treat blisters, too. If you feel a blister starting to form on the trail, snip off a piece of duct tape and bind it up [source: Vonhof].
What you carry on your journey depends on how far you're going, when you're going and where you're going. When stuffing your backpack, think about weather, terrain, altitude and the general environment. For example, if you're hiking the Arizona Trail in Utah, you'll need less protection from insects than if you were hiking in the Oregon backcountry in July.
Hiking in the winter means dressing in layers instead of bulky coats and sweaters. You want to keep the moisture from your body to reduce your chances of hypothermia. As such, stay away from cotton shirts and pants and go with wool or synthetic fabrics such as polypropylene. Synthetic fleece and nylon will help your body "breathe" and keep you dry [source: Appalachian Trail Conservancy]. A waterproof outer shell is also essential. Summertime hiking means T-shirts, sun hat, insect repellant, sun block and shorts. Don't forget your raingear and some warm clothes for the night [source: backpacking.net].
It's a good idea to keep your backpack as light as possible for a long hike, although it's easier said than done. One way is to keep track and weigh every piece of equipment. When possible, replace a heavy piece of equipment with something that is lighter yet works just as well [source: GloboTreks].
In addition, take what you need, but nothing more. Keep the books and personal electronics to a minimum. Do you really need a laptop or an iPad in the wilderness? You certainly don't need jewelry, extra toiletries, more than one jacket or bulky towels. Reduce your load by sharing it with your hiking buddy. Pack juices that you can mix from powder [source: GloboTreks].
Get Fit Before You Go
Hiking is a sport, and all athletes need to be in shape. A pulled muscle or a sore back can ruin a hiking trip. So before you go, get your body ready. If you're a beginner, see the doctor and get a check up just so you know how your body, especially your heart, is doing. If you're in sad physical shape, set up a routine exercise program. You can start by biking, swimming or walking. Remember, there are no ambulances in the backcountry.
If you're already in shape, continue with your workouts and exercise routine but begin your hiking regime slowly. Start with easy day hikes. After a few days, put on a backpack and load it with five more pounds than you'll actually carry on the trial. Walk around the neighborhood to get used to it. When you're ready, take a short hike with the overweight pack. Gradually increase the distance and difficulty of the terrain. If you're not in shape, you'll not only put yourself at risk, but your fellow hikers as well [source: Backcountry Essentials].
