Heading for Northern Germany? Here's a easy daytrip from Hamburg that really brings the Middle Ages to life, taken from my guidebooks Daytrips Germany (7th Edition) and Daytrips Berlin and Northern Germany. Enjoy!
Trip 18
A Daytrip from Hamburg
It was salt that made Lüneburg rich. This well-preserved medieval town dates from the discovery of its saline springs at least a thousand years ago. In those days salt was needed for food preservation, especially in Scandinavia — which has no deposits of its own and borders on a distinctly un-briny sea, the Baltic. From Lüneburg, the Old Salt Road led to Lübeck, where the white gold was put on ships headed for ports as distant as Russia.
Lüneburg joined the Hanseatic League in the 14th century and became immensely wealthy. Fine homes, churches, and public buildings were constructed, mostly of brick. Then, in the 16th century, trade began to decline. After that the town remained a poor, backwater place until fairly recent times, when new industry and the development of its spa brought a measure of prosperity. Today, the town remains much as it was in the 15th and 16th centuries, a living museum of life in the late Middle Ages. This trip can be combined in the same day with one to Celle.
Trains depart Hamburg's main station frequently for the half-hour trip to Lüneburg. These same trains can also be boarded a few minutes earlier at Hamburg's Altona and Dammtor stations. Return service operates until late evening.
By Car, Lüneburg is 58 km (36 miles) southeast of Hamburg via the A-7 Autobahn and the B-4 road.
Lüneburg may be visited at any time, but avoid coming on a Monday if you want to see the museums. The local Tourist Information Office (Lüneburg Marketing GmbH), T: (04131) 207-6620, W: lueneburg.de, is in the Rathaus on the Market Square. Lüneburg has a population of about 70,000.
Some choice restaurants are:
Hotel Bergström (by the Old Mill at the Old port) International cuisine in a most romantic setting. T: (04131) 30-80. €€ and €€€
Ratskeller (in the Rathaus on the Market Square) Local specialties highlight a well-rounded menu, served in an Old-World atmosphere. T: (04131) 317-57. X: Wed. €€
Bremer Hof (Lüner Str. 13, a block east of St. Nikolaikirche) Comfortable dining in an old hotel. T: (04131) 22-40. €€
Kronen Brauhaus (Heiligengeiststr. 39, 3 blocks west of St. Johanniskirche) A popular brewery restaurant with a beer garden. T: (04131) 71-32-00. € and €€
Brau-und-Tafelhaus Mälzer (Heiligengeiststr. 43, 3 blocks west of St. Johanniskirche) Meats, pastas, and beer, beer, beer — indoors or outdoors. T: (04131) 47777-240. € and €€
Numbers in parentheses correspond to numbers on the map.
Leave the train station (1) and follow the map to the colorful *Old Port (2) in the Wasserviertel quarter on the Ilmenau River. On your left, looking like a fantastic bird, is the Alter Kran (Old Crane), a strange wooden contraption built in 1797. Similar cranes have stood here since at least the 14th century. There are some ancient warehouses in the same area and, across the harbor, a group of 16th-century merchants' houses. Stroll along Am Fischmarkt and cross the tiny footbridge over the millstream. One of the old watermills here is now part of a major hotel.
Walk straight ahead and turn right on Rotehahnstrasse. Midway down the block, at number 14, is the Roter Hahn (3), a medieval old-folks' home. Step into its very lovely courtyard, then continue on to the St.-Nikolaikirche (St. Nicholas' Church) (4), consecrated in 1409 and noted for its star-vaulted ceiling.
A left on Bardowicker Strasse leads to the Marktplatz (Market Place) (5), with its Luna Fountain of 1530. Outdoor farmers' markets are held here on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The splendid *Rathaus (Town Hall), facing the square, has an ornately decorated façade. Actually a complex of buildings dating from the 13th through the 18th centuries, it is considered to be among the finest in Germany. Guided tours through its magnificent interior are held daily. For specific times, ask at the tourist office located on the side facing the square.
Now follow the map to the Michaeliskirche (St. Michael's Church)(6) on Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Platz, where the great composer is supposed to have gotten his start as a boy soprano at the age of 15. It was built between 1376 and 1418 as a Benedictine convent.
From here you can make a pleasant side trip to the Kalkberg (7), a small mound that offers a good view of the town. Originally some 70 meters high, it has shrunk to 57 meters as a result of gypsum mining. A 13th-century fortress stood here until 1371.
Continue down Auf der Altstadt and Schlägertwiete. This ancient part of town has slowly subsided as the salt deposits below were worked until recent decades. Some of the houses lean at odd angles, and cracks develop in their walls. An interesting little side trip can be made to the former salt works, now home to the:
DEUTSCHES SALZMUSEUM (8), T: (04131) 450-65, W: salzmuseum.de. Open May-Sept., Mon.-Fri. 9-5, weekends 10-5; rest of year daily 10-5. €.
Here you can learn everything you ever wanted to know about this precious mineral, and see how it was refined throughout the ages.
Heiligengeiststrasse leads to the Brauereimuseum (9), where beer has been brewed from 1485 until recently. It's free, so pop in for a look. T: (04131) 448-04. Open Tues.-Sun. 1-4:30. Another nearby attraction, on Ritterstrasse, is the Ostpreussisches Landesmuseum (10), which explores the history and culture of East Prussia. T: (04131) 759-950, W: ostpreussisches-landesmuseum.de. Open Tues.-Sun. 10-5. €.
You are now at Am Sande, a large open area lined with some beautiful old buildings. The most outstanding of these is the St. Johannis-Kirche (St. John's Church) (11), a 14th-century brick structure with a slightly skewed tower. Go inside for a look at the fine altarpiece and choir stalls, and especially at the partly 16th-century "Bach" organ.
At this point you might want to amble around the picturesque streets between here and the market place, or follow the map to the Museum für das Fürstentum Lüneburg (Museum of the Principality of Lüneburg) (12), whose superb displays are concerned with local history and culture. T: (04131) 438-91, W: museum-lueneburg.de. Open Tues.-Fri. 10-4; and on weekends from 11-5. €. The train station is only a few blocks away.

Daisy Model 104 Double Barrel 1938-1940 SKU 10033
The Daisy Model 104 Double Barrel was made from 1938-1940.
This is a nice one. The wood retains around 70% of the original finish. The wood is not cracked or chipped but there is some original finish worn off.
The metal is again about 70% there is some mottling and brown patina but lots of original finish remains. There is one small dent.
The shot tubes are original to the gun although the "L and "R" markings are hard to see. The shot tubes are pretty worn and may shoot two bb's at once.
It was cleaned, lubed, and resealed in our shop. Velocity tested at 256 fps which is normal for this model. Shoots good! Keep in mind that this is a collectors model and is fragile. It shoots but don't shoot it much. Its a toy nearly 100 years old. For this reason we are selling this item "as is with no returns".
Great Daisy collectable.

The Calories Counting Myth – Nutritional Misguidance for More than Half a Century
Written by SuperFat Staff
on November 25, 2018
Several crucial changes in energy intake and expenditure patterns have occurred in the United States in the last 40-50 years. According to an article published in the Journal of Economics and Human Biology, between 1971 and 2000, the total individual caloric intake increased, while the proportion of intake from dietary fat decreased and the proportion from dietary carbohydrate increased. Within the same time frame, caloric intake from fat remained largely unchanged, while caloric intake from carbohydrates (and in total) increased. Additionally, the use of caloric sweeteners increased considerably in a similar time frame (1962-2000).
Despite the fact that time-use surveys indicate that leisure-time physical activity remained largely unchanged, the average energy expenditure related to occupations decreased by more than 100 calories between 1960 and mid-2000s. This reduction in energy expenditure occurred in conjunction with the doubling of obesity prevalence since the early 1960s.
'A calorie is a calorie' is a phrase that is trivially true in many respects but incites confusion all at the same time. The phrase is questionable on the basis that it leads us to believe that, where the effect on body weight is concerned, fat must be bad because fat is calorie-dense per unit of weight, and that carbohydrate and protein are good because they contain relatively few calories. In addition, the phrase also assumes that in terms of weight lost or gained, there is no difference between diets that contain the same number of calories say from potatoes, green vegetables, and fish, or from soda, burgers and french fries.
In their clear-cut commentary on the issue of calorie-focused thinking when it comes to obesity and related diseases, Sean Lucan of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, and James DiNicolantonio of the Mid America Heart Institute at Saint Luke's Hospital, Kansas City argue that this premise, upon which nutritional teaching has been based for more than a century, is wrong. In fact, the classic case studies of individuals who experience an increase in body weight or those who try to maintain a decreased body weight - or body fat - consistently contradict the 'a calorie is a calorie' mentality.
Physiological Effects of Calories
The physiological effects of different calorie sources are an important consideration for weight management nutrition. For example, a calorie's worth of fish (mostly protein) and a calorie's worth of olive oil (pure fat) exhibit very different biological effects than a calorie's worth of white rice (refined carbohydrate) or a calorie's worth of whisky (mostly alcohol) - particularly in relation to body weight and body fatness.
Even though much of our early knowledge on the topic was acquired from animal studies, later studies that used human subjects have shown that energy-providing fats, proteins, carbohydrates and alcohol all have varying effects on a wide range of physiological pathways and hormones relating to satiety, food consumption, body fat composition, and the maintenance of body weight.
In fact, different nutrients of equal caloric content have various effects on body weight. In order to grasp this concept, we must first understand that certain nutrients may be metabolized more efficiently than others since the consumption of a given nutrient may result in greater net energy storage (the storage of body fat, for example) and less waste. Simply put, certain foods can be considered more 'nutritious' than others in terms of their energy conversion.
The 'Eat Less, Move More' Mantra
The trouble with attempting to 'eat less' and 'move more' to achieve (and maintain) a caloric deficit or negative energy balance is that it is practically and biologically implausible.
From a practical perspective, even the savviest individuals cannot make estimations of their actual calorie absorption or their true calorie expenditure with enough accuracy to produce a useful and continuous calorie balance sheet. This type of practice is challenging at the very least due to misleading food labels and the fact that calorie intake does not equal calorie absorption. In addition, the monitoring of energy expenditure requires the consideration of the constant fluctuation of digestive and metabolic processes to produce meaningful results.
Biologically, calorie intake and calorie expenditure are interconnected and, unless considerable uncoupling occurs, decreasing calorie intake will inevitably result in a compensatory push to decrease calories expended, and vice versa. Therefore, individuals who reduce their calorie intake become tired as a result of an expenditure compensation, and hungry due to intake compensation.
Calorie-Focused Food Labeling
This is a very controversial topic since government regulatory organizations prioritize the display of calories on the compulsory labels of processed food products and implicitly suggest that customers calculate their 'daily values' of calorie intake with reference to daily turnover averages. The importance of macronutrients on these products' labels is determined by their serving sizes-to-calorie 'daily values', which is ineffective and almost totally impractical.
However, this tactic is clearly advantageous to the manufacturers since, according to a study by the Hudson Institute, packaged goods companies promoting low-calorie products that are supposedly 'better for you' achieve superior sales growth, larger operating profits, and operating profit growth. All the while, research indicates that food marketing to children and adults in the United States continues to promote products that are high in sugar.
What is potentially even more concerning is that several nutrition scientists still carry this 'a calorie is a calorie' approach to their academic work and practical endeavors. As a result, for well over 50 years, government, industry, and science have come together in support of a general understanding of food, nutrition, health and disease which is wholly erroneous.
A Calorie in the Meter is not a Calorie in the Body
Acknowledging that the calories in/calories out approach to weight management are not a logical path to follow will not automatically reverse the rates of obesity and disease alone; we also need to concentrate on the dietary components that are most rapidly absorbed in the human body.
In line with their rating on the glycaemic index, carbohydrates differ in their digestibility and timing of ingestion, and a growing body of research indicates that some sources of carbohydrates - notably fructose - may play a strong role in increased obesity. In a 2018 study that investigated the effects of a low carbohydrate diet on energy expenditure during weight loss maintenance, researchers found that total energy expenditure was significantly greater in subjects who were assigned to a low carbohydrate diet compared with a high carbohydrate diet which included similar amounts of protein.
Another study investigating the link between sugar-sweetened beverages and the genetic risk of obesity further supports the hypothesis that measured calorie content does not have a strong relationship with the development of obesity. The authors of the study found that, even after individuals performed self-reported total energy intake and expenditure measures, the intake of sugar-sweetened beverages strengthened the association between the risk of obesity and the genetic susceptibility to obesity.
These findings are not only significant in academia; obesity and diabetes (the disease most closely causally related to obesity) are now considered epidemics which, according to a speech by the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), no country has been successful in controlling. Lucan and DiNicolantonio explain that their lack of control is due to the fact that the standardized advice to 'control calories' is misguided, and diverts the attention of the individual from lifestyle and dietary choices that are actually more likely to prevent an increase in weight and promote the maintenance of a healthy weight.
In addition to focusing on rapidly absorbable carbohydrates, an element that must not be overlooked is how foods are prepared, combined and consumed. Foods that are minimally processed and rank as being 'bad' on the glycaemic index based on their analysis in isolation are not generally eaten by themselves.
For example, white rice is a rapidly absorbable carbohydrate when consumed in isolation. However, white rice is a staple in many countries within Asia and Latin America where it is combined with vegetables or legumes and prepared as a freshly cooked meal which then alters its metabolic effect immensely. The Brazilian Government took these very important factors into consideration when publishing the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population in 2015.
There is a growing body of evidence that links the consumption of refined carbohydrates with increases in body weight. In addition, the research suggests that, even when individuals control their total calorie consumption, an increase in the consumption of carbohydrates is associated with both short- and long-term increases in body weight. An increase in fat consumption, if anything, is associated with a reduction in body weight which possibly explains the recent popularity of the keto diet and paleo diet.
Focusing on the number of calories in food ignores the wide-ranging metabolic effects of the foods themselves. Highly processed foods that consist mostly of rapidly absorbed sugars and starches are of a particular concern as carbohydrates such as these may lead to neurohormonal changes that might cause subsequent overeating and physical inactivity which are commonly viewed as causative for obesity.
If the customer's lack of knowledge in the effects of combining various nutrients for a given caloric content, and when considering that weight gain is a gradual process which offers no immediate feedback, a calorie-counting customer may unintentionally affect their weight accumulation by shifting consumption across nutrients while only monitoring total calories. Individuals who consume these unhealthy foods suffer in more ways than one; they become obese by eating them and receive unpleasant criticism for their large appetites and seeming laziness that result.

I wish I could be as organized as you!!! I just throw everything in there and hope for the best!! I usually have a wallet in my purse but its usually empty because my ID, debit cards, cash, etc. are thrown in the bag or stuffed in different pockets and compartments & I can never remember which one so I always have a mini- heart attack thinking they fell out or I lost them. And I swear that from now on I'll put them in my wallet!! (That lasts about a day and a half!)

A computer game devised by University of Manchester psychologists has called into question the theories which have been the basis of psychology for over a century.
Dr. Warren Mansell says the theories that divide up stimulus from response, which underpin smoking cessation programmes and most psychological therapies, should be re-evaluated.
The theories were spawned by the influential BF Skinner, since the American psychologist John Watson famously claimed in 1913 that the aim of psychology is "the prediction and control of behaviour."
The study is published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General today.
Dr. Mansell's computer game, based on perceptual control theory, supports the view that our behaviours vary from moment to moment rather than being triggered by thoughts or learned by associations to stimuli in our surroundings.
"Humans strive to get 'just right' experiences, such as keeping a comfortable temperature, or keeping safe, said Dr. Mansell.
"So it's unsurprising that most of the initiatives for changing people's behaviour based on removing stimuli that trigger habits like smoking, or trying to make children behave with rewards and threats, fail in the long term.
"This is because psychologists privilege the observer's view of a behaviour over the experience of the person who is doing the behaviour.
"Our study shows quite how at odds these two perspectives can be, and it paves the way for a new generation of interventions to help people with habits, fears and addictions."
A total of 164 people did the game, in pairs. One person- the actor—was instructed to move a computer mouse to keep a cursor located within a circular target at the bottom of the screen.
The mouse movements left a trace at the top of the screen and the second person, the observer was asked to observe the actor and the computer screen.
The movement of the cursor that the actor had to counteract to keep the cursor on target was an upside down mirror image of the word 'hello.'
Most of the actors were unaware they had written the word 'hello,' and most of the observers were unaware that the actors were trying to keep a cursor on target.
Dr. Mansell added: "There was an almost 100 percent contradiction between the actors' and observers' answers. This is because we only think that the 'eye-catching' side effects of behaviour—in this case writing the word 'hello' – is the intended action.
"From programs to help people stop smoking, to managing children's behaviour in schools, this century-old view that the outsider can most accurately measure, predict and change another person's behaviour has dominated.
"Therapies for a range of mental health problems should instead help people to become more aware of what they are trying to control in their lives, and balance them in more helpful ways.

Navision can automatically assign Line No. to a new record if the Line No. is part of the primary key fields. This can be done by setting the AutoSplitKey property in the Form to Yes. By default the AutoSplitKey property is set to No.
Let's consider the following example. When I enter a new sales line record in Sales Order form, Navision will automatically assign Line No. = 10000 to the first Sales Line record. Now, if I enter the 2nd Sales Line record, Navision will automatically assign Line No. = 20000 to the new record. If I insert a new record between the 1st and 2nd record, Navision will automatically assign Line No. = 15000 to the new record.
All this can happen because Autosplitkey property in Form 46 - Sales Line is set to Yes. In order for AutoSplitKey feature to work, the last field in the primary key must be an integer, BigInteger, GUID or decimal field. If you look at the Sale Line table, the Primary key is 'Document Type,Document No.,Line No.', where Line No. is an integer field.

What are aerial work platforms?
Aerial work platforms are always used when work needs to be done at a height. The generic term 'aerial work platform' includes several different designs: from the single scissor lift table to a telescopic lift platform with several individually controllable arms, from the electro-hydraulically powered aerial work platform to a lift platform with a diesel motor. Within the various types, the question also arises as to whether a stationary, firmly anchored solution, a movable or self-propelled variant is the right one for your application.
However, all versions have one thing in common. They provide people with safe access to the necessary work height. As a manufacturer, we incorporate both the usual safety features, such as a non-slip platform surface, and other safety measures, such as a UPS for emergency lowering in the event of a power failure.
What are work platforms used for?
Especially when heavy components need to be assembled or disassembled or when work takes longer and the use of ladders is unreasonable or even not permissible at all. If flexible solutions are also required, the aerial work platform is a safer and more convenient alternative.
While single work platforms are often sufficient for low heights, an aerial work platform is useful to regularly transport loads to greater work heights. The operator can conveniently load the loads in the lower position and transport them directly to the operating site. This turns the work platform into a practical solution, especially on construction sites, in the production of other machines in the production line or simply as an ergonomic workstation for tiring activities.
Which aerial platform is the right one?
We would be happy to assist you in choosing the right aerial work platform. However, there is one limitation. We are lift table manufacturers and have fully specialised in their manufacture. If you have any questions about telescopic work platforms, we cannot answer them in detail.
Our strength lies in the manufacture of aerial work platforms, which are individually tailored to your needs . Your requirements for an aerial work platform can be very different from those of other companies. For example, we can equip the workman basket with individual storage surfaces, insertable railings or even with a side extension platform to increase the reach to meet your needs. Just tell us what you are using the aerial work platform for and under what conditions and we will select the appropriate technical equipment.
Who are allowed to operate work platforms?
Many companies nowadays earn their money by issuing so-called lift platform driver's licenses. First the good news. You do not necessarily need such an operator's licence when working with work platforms . It much rather protects your interests, as you will receive confirmation from an external body that your employee is qualified to operate work platforms.
However, what the umbrella organisation of the German statutory accident insurance (DGUV) does stipulate is that only trained and suitable persons may operate a work platform. This training can also be carried out in-house by your own qualified personnel and does not have to be done by an external testing institute. However, in order to avoid any liability claims, we recommend training by the IHK or any other testing institute. These so-called driver's licences acquired here are valid indefinitely and do not require regular refresher training.
However, this does not negate your obligation to provide annual safety training, which must of course also include instructions on the correct handling and use of aerial work platforms.
Frequently asked questions & our answers ...
Where is the headquarters of Janzen Lifttechnik GmbH?
We are at home in the rural Emsland, more precisely in Niederlangen a part of the Lathen municipality directly on the A31 motorway. This means that we are roughly halfway between North Rhine-Westphalia and the North Sea, right on the Dutch border.
Our region is known, among other things, for the various nature reserves, the well-developed cycle paths, the manufacture of cruise ships, as well as the headquarters of various distilleries.
Should you ever come to our region, we look forward to a visit in our Plant.
Where are the lifting tables and elevators produced?
With us, not only does the final assembly take place in Germany, but we also cover the entire production chain from construction through steel construction to final assembly in our plant in Niederlangen. With us you get a real 'Made in Germany'.
Is the offer aimed only at traders or also at private individuals?
Even if our products are mainly used in an industrial environment, we naturally also offer them to private individuals.
Just give us a call or send us an inquiry and we will be happy to contact you.
Will I receive a drawing before production starts?
In any case. To ensure that you get the product that you really want, we provide you with an approval drawing before production begins. In addition to the actual product, this also includes the installation situation. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Can I get a CAD model?
You can receive a (greatly) simplified CAD model of our standard products before ordering. After the order and the construction phase, we can also provide you with CAD models of the individual special lifting tables. A data exchange is possible in all common formats (.stp, .dxf, .dwg etc.).
Where can you deliver to?
We produce our lifting tables and column jacks in accordance with European standards and guidelines. Accordingly, our sales area is limited to all countries that recognize these standards and guidelines (e.g. the members of the European Union, Switzerland and Australia).
Is it possible to assemble in the same area?
On request, we assemble our systems throughout Germany, as well as in the neighboring countries of Germany.

We all know that Sikh people do not part with their hair. Hence, most of us associate Sikh men with turbans that cover their hair. Usually referred to as 'dastar' or 'pagg', the necessity of wearing a turban came into being when the tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, asked Sikhs to cover their hair in public.
Ever since, the turban has been a quintessential part of any Sikh man's identity. It may vary in length, colour and way of tying, but one thing that stands true for all Sikh men who wear it is that they will never part with it. Yet, the reasons for holding their turbans so close may vary across age groups and places.
We talked to Sikh men and asked them what their turban meant to them. Here's what they had to say:
It may mean different things to different people, but for Sikh men, their turban is like second skin.

I've seen Sidney Lumet tackle different genres, from mystery (Murder on the Orient Express) to courtroom drama (12 Angry Men, The Verdict) to satire (Network). Now onto crime with Dog Day Afternoon.
Sonny Wortzik (Al Pacino) and Sal (John Cazale) have intentions on robbing a bank to get money for a sex-change operation for Sonny's lover Leon (Chris Sarandon). Unfortunately, the attempted robbery is a failure from the start.
Only Lumet can cram so much realism into one movie (yes, I know it's based on real events). Pacino is at the height of his career with Dog Day Afternoon and delivers one of his best roles. The interesting thing about the movie is that a majority of the dialogue is ad-libbed; the irony is the screenplay won an Oscar. Much like Lumet's earlier work Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon is gritty, real and edgy.
My Rating: *****

It works fine I suppose but like the taste of charcoal or wood better then electric. Just something missing. And it's hard to keep the temp right among other problems. I enjoy smoking a lot and would get way more serious about it if I had something a little bit better. I smoke about twice a month. Winters can be tough with what I got. Thanks for all the help.

Press Release
Transformative NNU Leader RoseAnn DeMoro Retiring, Piloted Nurses Union to Historic Growth and Influence
Nurses Name Bonnie Castillo, RN as Next Executive Director
RoseAnn DeMoro, who transformed the California Nurses Association and National Nurses United into one of the most influential and fastest growing unions in the U.S., officially retired this week from shepherding an organization that has made an enormous impact in achieving unprecedented gains for nurses, patients, and has become a key figure in progressive social change movements.
Bonnie Castillo, RN, who has led in every phase of the organization's work after a career as a nurse activist, succeeds DeMoro as executive director of both NNU and the CNA and its affiliate National Nurses Organizing Committee in what the two, who have worked together for years, emphasizes will be a seamless transition.
"The organization is kind of set in stone in terms of (how) we're going to fight for social justice as an organization," DeMoro told the San Francisco Chronicle this week, and she praised Castillo as "a passionate advocate for RNs, patients and human rights."
Accolades for DeMoro and her work from across the U.S. and globally poured in this week. In the Chronicle, Sen. Bernie Sanders termed her "very tough" and "an invaluable ally." Consumer legend Ralph Nader called her "the greatest labor organizer of her time." AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka heralded her "iron will." And California Gov. Jerry Brown praised her as a "fighting labor leader from the old school. She gets things done."
Social media was also filled with tributes, including:
DeMoro devoted 32 years to the nurses' movement, working with working nurse activists, and reshaping the union from an association governed and dominated by nurse executives to one that won landmark improvements for nurses in economic standards and working conditions, unprecedented protections for patients, such as the nation's first minimum safe staffing law, and growing the organization from 17,000 CNA members in 1992, when she became executive director, to 150,000 in NNU today.
"What I love about what I do is we are building power for working women and patients," DeMoro would say.
Along the way, DeMoro guided CNA and NNU to make connections between health care and societal ills that affect health and the quality of life, becoming a prominent force in a broad array of social movements, among them environmental justice and the climate crisis, holding Wall Street accountable, and most notably driving the national campaign for guaranteed healthcare for all through an improved and expanded Medicare for all single payer system.
DeMoro and NNU's "relentless advocacy," the Chronicle noted, dramatically pushed forward the single payer movement to now becoming a central issue in the national debate. "When the country adopts a single-payer system, Sanders has predicted, 'people will look back and say RoseAnn DeMoro and the national nurses union helped do that'."
Nurse leaders who worked closely with her noted her impact.
"The issues she cares about, including patient advocacy and social advocacy, are exactly what nurses care about," says Deborah Burger, RN, NNU co-president. "Nurses, like patients, need an aggressive advocate, and her name is RoseAnn DeMoro."
"It was never about her," says CNA co-president Malinda Markowitz, RN. "You always knew that it was about the movement, about the nurse, and about the patients and really about the community and family."
Bonnie Castillo, RN, debuts as NNU and CNA/NNOC executive director
Castillo said she is "proud and excited to continue the great work of our union," writing on Twitter: "Together we will advance our agenda to win healthcare and workplace justice for all."
Before starting at CNA, Castillo worked many years as an intensive care RN at a large Sacramento hospital where, in the face of a sweeping corporate push to erode nurses' role and ability to advocate for patients, she was a leader in unionizing the hospitals noting, "we had to unite to protect our patients."
At CNA she worked as legislative director, overseeing passage of significant legislative and regulatory reforms, including stronger protections for the spread of infectious disease, as well as helping bring the benefits of union representation to other RNs.
Most recently, Castillo has directed NNU's nursing practice and health and safety programs, winning, for example, new requirements for workplace violence protection in hospitals. She also has directed NNU's internationally renowned disaster relief program, the Registered Nurse Response Network, which has sent volunteer nurses in the face of disaster to the Gulf Coast, following Hurricane Katrina, the Philippines, Haiti, and most recently Puerto Rico.
"Everywhere public health is at risk, the nurses will be there," says Castillo. "And I will be with them. And we will continue to fight."

demanding equitable industry
recruitment, retention, and promotion
of Black fashion profesionals
The Fashion industry has come under fire for an absence of Black presence on the runways and on the pages of glossy magazines, but those behind the scenes know that the unspoken "ban on Black" originates within design studios where the exclusion of Black talent has quietly become industry standard. The time has come to address the disproportionate Black unemployment that goes unaddressed within the Fashion design community as well as how the lack of Black designers working at the upper management and executive levels within mainstream brands can result in incidents like H&M's recent "Coolest Monkey in the Jungle" snafu.
Veteran designer/writer, Kibwe Chase-Marshall began attempting to spark conversation around this issue last year but felt silenced by editors for whom he had contributed regularly. As the new year began, on Jan. 3rd he posted on Instagram regarding his attempts to publish an op-ed about the systemic discrimination faced by Black designers attempting to work for mainstream brands. Fashionista.com, for whom he was a long-time contributor, offered initially "we're gonna pass" regarding this story. What struck Chase-Marshall as odd was that the outlet had devoted coverage to the analogous subject of gender-based discrimination in and among the fashion design community. Why were they so reluctant to cover race discrimination?
He decided to let the public be the judge of the issue's newsworthiness, and his related IG post (liked by respected industry insiders like American Vogue's Chioma Nnadi, Balance Diversity's Bethann Hardison, and buzz-worthy designer Rosie Assoulin) garnered an opportunity to publish the aforementioned op-ed in the Business of Fashion extended by the media outlet's editor-in-chief, Imran Amed. Shared industry-wide, the piece attracted the attention of veteran model/writer Veronica Webb who penned thoughtful coverage regarding the op-ed and its focus for The Root.
Concurrently, Chase-Marshall's campaign surfaced on the radar of Van Jones' organization, Color Of Change and they reached out to partner on direct letters to execs and then a petition that would charge the CFDA and Vogue with implementing the actionable plan for creating industry change, offered within the op-ed's concluding proposal.
The #BreakSilenceBreakCeilings petition has garnered over 25,000 signatures to date.
On March 1st, 2018 Color Of Change hand delivered a second round of letters to the CFDA (each containing a 1-minute hourglass symbolizing the amount of time it should have taken the organization to respond to this call to action regarding combating race-based employment discrimination). Steven Kolb responded, but effectively dodged all acknowledgment of the industries well known patterns of anti-Black employment discrimination. He also evaded requests to schedule an in person meeting with Mr. Chase-Marshall and Color of Change.
Mr. Chase-Marshall's recent correspondence (independently and via Color of Change) with the CFDA, doesn't confirm a meeting date and makes it appear that the CFDA is delaying such a call-to-reckoning until after their annual awards ceremony (hosted this year by Issa Rae on June 4th). This disturbingly disregards the realities of the many Black designers that continue to go without equitable opportunities to access work daily.

About Wave Therapy Treatment
What is Acoustic Wave Therapy and how does it treat Erectile Dysfunction?
If you direct those acoustic waves towards our blood vessels, then this can actually increase circulation in those areas and cause new blood vessels to form in a process known as neovascularization.
The formation of those new blood vessels is useful to us because it means that it improves the blood supply to the penis, which can help to reduce a lot of the issues surrounding erectile dysfunction. These new blood vessels increase the blood supply to the penis, making your erection harder and longer lasting.
Acoustic wave therapy involves the clinician applying a probe coated in a special gel to the penis. We target several different areas of the penis in one treatment to ensure maximum results. There is minimal discomfort, although you might notice a slight pulsing sensation.
There are many excellent benefits when using acoustic wave therapy for erectile dysfunction.
- Being compatible with other treatments
- Visible results within a few weeks
- Treats the issue rather than just the symptoms
- Provides spontaneous erections
- Completely painless and safe
- Non-invasive
- No side effects
- Triggers natural repair mechanisms
- Provides proven clinical long-term benefits
Is Wave Therapy right for me?
Wave Therapy is not just for men with diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or heart disease. Many men have no underlying disorder, and it works just as well for them. In fact, it works well for men from ages 20 to 99.
Acoustic Wave Therapy works for men who have mild, moderate or severe erectile dysfunction. These men often use tadalafil or sildenafil to help achieve an erection. After treatment with Wave Therapy, as many as 90% of men who use these medications will no longer need them to attain an erection. It is also a great option for men who cannot tolerate the side effects of these medications. If they no longer work well, or if you were using injections that no longer work well, you need Wave Therapy.
Take our quiz to find out if you're a Wave Therapy candidate!
Acoustic Wave Therapy takes time to work. You may need several treatments and you may need to continue using other types of therapy for a while, depending on how severe your erectile dysfunction is. Most patients find that acoustic wave therapy is well tolerated and that they see benefits after consistent treatment, giving them more confidence both in and out of the bedroom. Most men find they are able to perform better when it matters without relying on prescription medications.
It is a well-known fact that the earlier a diagnosis is made and treatment started, the better the patient's outcome will be. When it comes to erectile dysfunction, early diagnosis and treatment are vital if the problem is to be corrected and further deterioration is to be prevented. The longer you wait, the worse it gets and the harder it is to treat!
Request a consultation with an ED Specialist
Here's what our patients have to say.
"My ED Symptoms are Remarkably Improved"
"Your All Male Staff Made Me Feel Comfortable"
"I was nervous and embarrassed about getting treatment for my ED, but I was also desperate. Your all male staff made me feel comfortable and most importantly the treatment started working after the first few visits"
"Best Choice I Ever Made"
"Visiting your clinic was the best choice I've ever made! I only wish I had known about it years ago"
– Anthony Z
"We Now Have Sex Twice a Week"
"When I came here my wife and I would have sex, maybe once a month, but since coming to Forge Medical Group, we now have sex twice a week and sometimes three times a week."
– Floyd T
"Friendly and Respectful"
"Your staff was friendly and respectful. They never made me embarrassed or uncomfortable."
"APWT Protocol Works!"
"I didn't think anyone could help me, but the APWT Protocol works!"
"You've Changed My Life"
"I went to other doctors, and none of them could help me. You've changed my life."
-Devon B.
"Shocked at How Great the Treatment Worked"
"I only came here because my wife was pressuring me to do something. She was shocked at how great the treatment worked"
"I Feel Comfortable"
"I feel comfortable coming and getting the treatments and they work for me."
-Bob R.
"Miracle Workers"
"No pill or pump ever worked for me. Your clinic is full of miracle workers."
-Bill B.
"My Sex Life is Back"
"Thank you for giving me my sex life back!"
-Arthur P.
"Your Encouragement Kept Me Going"
"I was extremely skeptical, to the point where I was about to stop the treatments, but your encouragement kept me going and finally results!"
-Joseph M.
"There is Hope Out There for ED Sufferers"
"Both my wife and I were very skeptical regarding this treatment, but within weeks we became believers that there is hope out there for ED sufferers. Thanks much!"
-Anthony C.

Small business owners everywhere know the importance of a quality sign, because signs do more than just look good. They help you build your brand, get your name out there and increase foot traffic to your store. However, there are a lot of options out there for signage, so you may feel a bit overwhelmed with your choices. You could go the temporary route or decide on something more permanent. You could go big or start small. There's lots to choose from.
There is one type of sign that's a more modern and contemporary idea for your business. It's the LED sign. These signs are eye-catching, bright and can even be a little flashy, making them a good choice for many different companies and stores. Here are a few ways you can use LED signs.
Keep It Simple
While your LED sign might be brightly-colored, it doesn't necessarily have to be flashy. You can choose to use your sign to simply advertise when you're open. For this, you just need an LED sign that says "OPEN". The word will be lit when you turn on the sign as you open your shop. Then, when you're ready to close up, all you have to do is turn the sign off. It's easy.
Or Get Complex
Maybe you're more experienced when it comes to LED signs, and you're ready to branch out and do something a little different. In this case, you could decide to install a programmable sign that acts as a sort of reader board. You can use a computer program to display different messages on your sign. Different colors can even be used, which will make your sign stand out from the rest. LED reader boards are an excellent way to get your brand's message out to the public.
Where Can You Put LED Signs?
LED signs are best viewed at the front of your building. Hang one in your window to catch the eyes of passersby, and watch more and more people come to visit your shop.
Get LED Signs for Your Small Business Today
As you can see, there are a lot of ways you can use LED signs to boost both your brand and your profits. When you're ready to get help designing and installing these versatile electronic signs, go ahead and get in touch with Black Dog Sign Company. We are your source for quality signage of all kinds.

A short summary
We first traveled to Malaysia in November 2000 but back then we only had a short stop in Kuala Lumpur. This time we also wanted to try out a couple of beach destinations. We decided to go to Langkawi as it was a well established beach destination and we figured that it would be what we needed after being "adventurous" by going to Perhentian Island.
Planning the trip
Langkawi is a pretty well established beach destination and we know several people who have been there. The island is located on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia towards the border to Thailand. It is pretty easy to get there as both AirAsia and Malaysia Airlines has a service from KL. We bought tickets from Malaysia Airlines online as that gave us the best connection when we came from Perhentian Island. We paid 484 RM for a round trip for both of us.
Our main problem was getting a hotel. We searched around quite a bit and I found it a bit hard to grasp where the best place is to be on the island. We would of course had stayed at The Datai or the Four seasons but due to the price that was out of the question :-(
In the end we decided that we wanted to stay at Pantai Chenang (Cenang beach) and that did at least narrow the search for a hotel a little. We considered Casa del Mar but it was full. In the end we went for Pelangi Beach Resort based on location and reviews . The room didn't come very cheap, and even after researching prices with online travel agents, we ended up paying 530 RM (145 US dollars) per night for the room.
Trip from KL to Langkawi
We went to Langkawi straight from our stay at Perhentian Island. When we got back to KL we just waited at KLIA for a couple of hours before our flight took off. The flight from KL to Langkawi is only about 1 hour and we arrived at the small airport in the afternoon. But even if it is small it is busy :-) When we had landed we had to walk from the plane over to the terminal and another plane came in at the same time and parked next to us - very noisy indeed. Getting out of the airport was pretty fast and we just got a taxi and I think we paid 16 RM for it. The ride to Pelangi beach resort is not very long…I would guess less then 10 minutes.
Pelangi Beach resort
The Pelangi beach hotel complex is huge. When we got there the check in was fast and efficient and we were driven to our room in a little golf car as the hotel is spread out on a fairly big area. We got room 3601 which has a lake view. Our room was located in house 36 and it contained 4 rooms on 2 levels. When we got in we saw that we had taken a step up in quality of accommodation compared to Perhentian Island resort. First of all the room was huge, the floor was made out of dark teak wood and the walls were a combination of dark wood and light wall paper. At the center of the room was a huge bed. I don't think that we have had such a huge bed in any room that we have ever stayed in :-) As usual there was a desk with a chair, we had a small sofa with a little table where you could watch a small TV. The TV had channels like BBC, ESPN, Discovery etc. A door we thought led into the bathroom, actually led into the walk-in wardrobe. It contained lots of drawers, places to hang clothes, more than enough space to store our suitcases, a minibar and a kettle, a small safe, robes etc. The room had a remote controlled air conditioner :-)
From this room there was a door leading into the bathroom which was fairly small. But it was nice with tiles on the floors and walls and it contained a bath tub where you also had the option of taking a shower. As usual there were amenities like shower gel, shampoo, lotion, sewing kit etc. But I think it is the first time I have seen a shaving kit :-)
There was also a door leading out from the room to a porch. Here we had a nice view of the pond and a couple of fountains and there was a table and a couple of chairs. With a pond like this you would think that there would be a mosquito problem. Well, it seemed like they solved this with "chemical warfare"…a little golf car drove around one evening and sprayed out a thick smoke…I can not imagine that it is very healthy for humans either. But it seemed to help as we didn't really experience a problem with mosquitoes.
As I mentioned to start off with the hotel covers a huge area. There are maps on the paths around the hotel area so you don't have to worry about getting lost :-). There are two pools to choose from and we tried the cascade pool a couple of times. You get a complimentary towel near the pool and then you can just jump in. The cascade pool had a couple of water falls, a slide for kids etc. Both of the pool areas were very nice as you can see from the pictures.
There are several restaurants on the hotel grounds but I can only comment on the Horizon pool bar where we had a pizza on the first night. The pizza was OK and cost 16 RM and the half a bottle of red wine was 40 RM. We also had breakfast in the room one day. The breakfast itself was not great but the selection of fresh fruits that we ordered on the side was amazing.
Go to the hotel lobby to get more information about hotel activities. We rented a car through the hotel for a day for 160 RM. The receptionists in the hotel lobby can also arrange snorkel trips, mangrove trips, recommend restaurants etc. When it comes to activities it is probably cheaper to book elsewhere. We booked a snorkel trip from a local shop down the road and saved a bit of money. There is a fitness club at the hotel where you can play squash, rent a bike to get around etc. The only thing I was not very impressed with at the hotel was the minigolf course. It was in bad need of a facelift.
The location of the hotel is quite good. Located on the north end of the beach Pantai Cenang it is easy to get to all the restaurants that are located on the beach strip, access to places like Underwater world and tax-free shopping. There is a taxi stand right outside the hotel so if you don't feel like walking it is easy to get a taxi.
I think that there is only one problem with Pelangi Beach Resort…the beach itself is not very good. Yes, it looks pretty nice but very few people were swimming when we first came there. In the end I decided that I had to try the water to check out what the problem was. First of all it was low tide so you can walk very far before the water gets to knee height. The second problem is that the sea bed is made up of lots of tiny broken shells in addition to sand so it can be a bit uncomfortable to walk on it. So most of the people at the hotel seemed to prefer to relax at the poolside instead.
The Pelangi beach resort is a nice enough hotel to relax in for a few days. The hotel has lots to offer when it comes to activities and it is located close to the rest of the shops and restaurants at the Pantai Cenang beach. The price level seems to be higher here - if you look at accommodation and alcohol and the beaches were unfortunately not that great.
Checking out Langkawi
We started our first morning by just checking out our local neighborhood: Cenang beach. There are lots of hotels along the beach and you can also find shops, restaurants, minimarts, internet cafes etc. I'm not sure how long the beach is but we didn't have any problem walking back to the hotel at night after we had been to a restaurant on the far side of the beach.
Underwater World
On the first morning we walked towards the middle of the beach and we stumbled upon Underwater World which is one of the attractions on the beach. Since the weather was not all the great - a bit cloudy and rainy but still warm and humid - we decided to check it out. So we paid about 36RM per person for the entrance and went in. As the name indicates this is an aquarium but it also contains other animals, birds, snakes, tortoises, seals etc. There is also a separate penguin section that was pretty fun. There is also a 3D cinema in the place and it is included in the entrance fee. But the 3D show was not very impressive I'm afraid. We have seen far better 3D shows in South Africa and different amusement parks in the States. Be careful not to use the flash on some of the aquariums by the way. I found it a bit funny to find a note on the sea horse aquarium saying that you should avoid using flash or else the poor sea horse can die of shock! With 5000 types of aquatic life, 100 different tanks and with a 15 meter tunnel when you can watch sting rays, sharks etc this is a place that is fun to check out for a couple of hours. Try to time it so that you can check out when they are feeding the seals and penguins. I think it takes place between 10-11 and 3-4 pm.
There is also a taxfree shop in the Underwater world complex. From what I understand Langkawi has been made into a duty free zone. So it is possible to buy alcohol, cigarettes, perfume etc at relatively reasonable prices on the island. The shop had a pretty good selection of SE Asian and Pacific beer so it was possible to get everything from Australian VB to Japanese Asahi.I have a colleague who enjoyes VB so that it the reason for this shot of me from the store :-)
Getting around the island
The island of Langkawi is not very big so you can easily get around it on a scooter or in a car. There are lots of places on Cenang beach where you can rent either. We decided to just rent at the hotel to make sure that every insurance was in place and day price of 160RM (about 45 $) was not really that bad.
We started by driving towards the town of Kuah located on the south east tip of the island. This is the only town on the island and we stopped to check it out for a few minutes since it was raining. There is more duty free shopping at the island's largest mall "Langkawi Fair Shopping Mall"….according to a young local girl this was the only place in town for shopping. We also walked through the park Taman Lagenda to get to Eagle square. According to local folklore the name Langkawi means reddish brown eagle and as a symbol of this a huge eagle statue has been constructed near the jetty in Kuah. Taman Lagenda park also has a number of statues and monuments that tell local myths and legends.
We continued our drive north on the island and stopped by a waterfall called Durian Perangin on the way. It was starting to get really hot so we decided to buy an ice cold soda. At this place they served it the way it is done in some places in Asia….in a plastic bag with lots of ice cubes to cool it down and you drink it with a straw J We started walking on the path towards the waterfall and this your fellow started walking with us explaining about the area. The poor guy looked a bit disappointed when I explained that we wanted to walk on our own. It was not a long walk and the waterfall was not much of a sight as I guess March is not really part of the rainy season…so it was pretty much dried up.
We continued our drive and we drove out towards the Tanjung Rhu beach. The beach here was quite deserted and our only company was a few cows! We also regularly crossed paths with the same tourists making a similar island discovery. We made a short stop at the Craft and Culture center located not far away but we didn't stay long as the place needs to be explored at a leisurely pace and we were getting worn out from driving all day.
Cable car to Mount Mat Cincang
Before we went to Langkawi I had heard about the cable car located on the north west corner of the island. So when we were out driving we decided that we wanted to check it out and enjoy the view. We just followed the signs to get there and we paid about 15 RM per person for the tickets. The cable cars were quite tiny and the first stretch only has two towers so on the last leg you can see how the cable hangs down due to the weight and it felt a lot steeper than 42 degrees. We reached the first station at 650 meter above sea level and we went straight to the second leg which took us all the way to the top at 705 meters. At the top there are a couple of huge observation decks. When we were there one of the two decks was closed to the public thanks to a Bollywood production and the same goes for a bridge that is suspended over the jungle forest near the top. It was a bit cloudy the day we went there so some of the view was spoiled by that…I bet the view is amazing on clear days. The trip down was as exciting as the trip up. I normally don't have a problem with heights but I was a bit freaked out by these small cable cars, the high inclination and the wind that was swaying the cars. But as they say…you always make it down somehow….we made it down the safe way. But right after we came down the whole thing stopped for a minute. I bet the people were stuck in a cable car at the highest point were getting a bit nervous. At the bottom there is a tiny zoo of sorts. Well, I guess calling it a zoo is stretching it - it was more of a petting zoo with a deer and rabbits….lots of rabbits :-)
That was the end of our drive around the island. Before we handed back the car we had to find a gas station at night to fill up the tank. We found one about 10 minutes from the beach (there are some places on the beach as well but those were the old type…a barrel and a hand pump). When we came to the station I was a bit surprised to see that the station was operated by 4 Malay women and there was a bit of communication confusion as I didn't understand if I was going to fill up the tank myself or if they were doing it for me :-)
Swimming with sharks – snorkeling at Payar
Although we had just come from Perhentian Island we still wanted to do some more snorkeling. So we kept an eye on the weather forecast and decided to go on a trip to Pulau Payar marine park. We also looked into going to a place called Butang Islands but that seemed more out of the way, required passports (which Nikki had forgotten in KL with our hosts) and was more expensive. We decided to go with the company East Marine and we paid 160 RM per person for the trip. We booked at a small booking agent place as it was slightly cheaper than booking at the hotel (the hotel was 180 RM)
We were picked up at about 8 am in a small mini bus and we drove to towards Kuah town. On the way we picked up a few other people that were going on the snorkeling trip as well. In situations with lots of strangers in a car there can be a bit of an awkward silence where everybody just whispers in their own languages. The silence in our car was punctured when we picked up a young local girl. I think she was half Malaysian/half German and we had barely closed the door before she was like "OK, where are you guys from?" :-) She had quite a talent because she kept on talking all the way from Cenang to Kuah. When we arrived at the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club we got some tea and coffee before we went onboard the big boat Saga Ekspres. The trip out to Payar took about 45 minutes to an hour. On the boat snorkeling equipment was handed out but we had brought our own stuff.
When we first arrived I was a bit disappointed…it did of course look a lot more commercialized compared to what we had experienced in Perhentian Island. But as soon we got into the water and swam out a bit, the snorkeling was not bad at all. As usual there were lots of colorful fish, corals and some sort of sea urchins with long spikes. The kids had great fun just staying in the shallow water and they fed the small fish with bread. I doubt that it is good for the poor fish to eat that much bread. An ok lunch was included in the price: sandwich, some chicken pieces, spring rolls and some potato salad. After lunch they used the chicken leftovers as bait to attract black tip reef sharks. I guess they were only 1-2 meter but big enough to be just a bit scary. It was also amazing to see the speed of the barracuda when chicken was thrown into the water. It came through the water like an arrow to catch the pieces! I eventually dared to get into the water while the sharks were there…and it is very exciting to swim and all of a sudden see several sharks swim a meter or two below you. They claim the reef sharks are quite harmless and we didn't have any problems. The scariest moment came when we were snorkeling back to shore and all of a sudden we could see the barracuda looking straight at us in the water. It didn't move at all and it just seemed to stop and stare - it was a bit freaky.
At bit before 3 pm we packed up and got on the boat again and we were transported back to Kuah and back to our hotel. The snorkeling trip was fun and it was exciting to snorkel with sharks and a barracuda.
A bug story
I have to tell a bug story from Langkawi. When you go to a tropical country you have to accept that there are more bugs than you're used to - they also tend to be a lot larger - at least compared to where I come from :-). After a quiet Malay dinner accompanied by a few drinks, we decided to walk back to the Resort from Matahari Restaurant. At one point the narrow pavement forced us to walk one behind the other, instead of beside each other. Out of nowhere Nikki starts yelling, screaming, pointing and backing away from me. Out of concern I moved towards her and asked what was wrong. In a rather deranged state she kept backing away, pointing and insisting that I not come any closer. At this stage a local guy was watching us - must have been quite an alarming sight to start off with. After much wide eyed pointing, Nikki finally caught her breath, made eye contact with the local guy and got me to turn around. And there it was - a charcoal coloured beetle of sorts, about the size of a newborn's clenched fist attached to the back of my white top. This is when it got amusing - for the helpful local guy and me, at least. He helped peel the beetle off - it was rather reluctant to leave its rest stop - and then I tried to keep up with Nikki as she hurried back to the Resort.
I guess you can understand Nikki's reaction - big bug (gets bigger after each telling), white top, it's late and she's tired … hmmm.
Eating and drinking out
We don't really like to eat at the hotels we stay at so we only had a pizza there the first night when we arrived as it was getting late and we were tired after a long day.
One of the best meals we had was at a restaurant called Matahari. This place serves Malay food and I think it was recommended in some brochures that we found at the hotel. We just went there without making a reservation and that was not a problem because it was very quiet. We got a table next to a little pond and we would see leaves move all the time and hear water splashes. It turned out that there were lots of colourful frogs that were crawling around. When we first saw the waitress she looked like quite a foxy lady. When she came over to take our order I got a bit of a shock as she had a voice like a man and Nikki pointed out the closely shaved beard under the pancake makeup… But the food was great and the bill was 100 RM after we had starters, the main meal, two beers, two cocktails and juice.
We also ate at the seafood restaurant called Orkid Ria located on Cenang not too far from the hotel. We decided that we wanted to check out to see if it was as good as in Thailand. I think the bill came to 200 RM for a lobster, 3 big tiger prawns and beer. The meal was pretty good but I still think that the Thai seafood is better J .We also ate at Palace of India near the hotel on Cenang which was pretty OK. It was surprisingly quiet along the Cenang beach. We did manage a night cap at Carey's café - with live reggae music.
As you might get the impression of in this trip report most of our time was spent on Cenang beach. It is not that long so you can walk a lot to get around. But you can also get a taxi and we think we paid 5-8 RM to get from one end of the beach to the other.
If you need an internet café you should not have any problems finding one. The best one we tried was a place called TCY International Travel & Tours located across the street from Underwater world. We spent an hour using two PC's and I think that we paid 8 RM. The guy than runs the place was really friendly. When we sat down he brought us a cup of water. We had to take of the shoes before we came into the café and it looked like he had half of the neighborhood over to watch TV J
On March 29th we just relaxed by the pool at the hotel before we checked out and went over to the airport to fly back to KL.
We had a nice stay at Langkawi but I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed. Maybe my expetations were too high after Perhentian and maybe I was comparing it too much to Thailand.
I'm first of all disappointed over Cenang beach outside the Pelangi beach resort. The sea bed is filled with shells and coral so it is bit painful to walk on and the water didn't look as aqua or clear as the east coast or neighbouring Thailand. Langkawi also seemed more on the quiet side. Maybe we were there outside the main season because all the restaurants and bars seemed pretty empty.
I have seen the question on different travel forums "Should I go to Thailand or Malaysia". Nikki and I disagree when it comes to this question. I think that if you are just looking for a beach where you can go swimming, lots of activities, party at night then your best bet is Thailand. The hotels on Langkawi also seem to be more expensive compared to hotels on e.g. Phuket and Samui. We had to pay 145 US dollars per night for our hotel and we could have gotten cheaper deal at Hilton and Sheraton in Phuket.
Visiting Langkawi was nice and the highlight for me was snorkeling with sharks at Payar. But if we are going back to south east Asia for a beach vacation I don't think that Langkawi would be my first option.

A portable tank is a block that stores a large amount of a fluid.
A placed portable tank can be instantly picked up by dismantling it with a wrench. Its stored fluid and configuration are preserved in the item. It can also be mined using a pickaxe, though this can be much slower.
|Crafting recipe
|Copper Ingot +
Redstone Servo +
A portable tank is initially at the lowest tier (basic). It can be upgraded to higher tiers using upgrade kits and conversion kits.
Fluids can be put in and taken out of a portable tank using buckets or other items that can hold fluids.
A portable tank can be configured by using a multimeter on it while sneaking, which opens the tank's GUI. Some aspects of the tank can also be configured without opening the GUI.
Fluids can enter and exit a portable tank through its sides.
A placed portable tank can automatically transfer fluids out of the bottom. This is called auto-output. Auto-output can be enabled in the tank's GUI, or by using a wrench. When a portable tank is placed on top of another portable tank, auto-output is enabled automatically for the upper tank.
A placed portable tank can be locked to only accept the fluid it currently holds, even when it becomes empty. This can be toggled in the tank's GUI, or by using it while sneaking.
A portable tank in item form can be filled and emptied using a fluid transposer. It can be used on placed portable tanks to move fluids around. It can also be used to more quickly craft things that require fluids to craft, like signalum blend.
A placed portable tank may be configured to respond to redstone signals. It can be in one of three modes:
The current mode can be set using the Redstone Control tab in the portable tank's GUI.
A portable tank can have a signalum security lock installed to restrict who can access it.
A portable tank can be enchanted with Holding to increase its capacity.
|Holding level
|Capacity multiplier
|× 1.5
|× 2
|× 2.5
|× 3
A portable tank's configuration can be saved on a redprint to be copied to other portable tanks.
A portable tank will emit light when it contains a fluid that emits light, like lava or energized glowstone.
When placed next to a portable tank, a redstone comparator emits a signal strength of between 0 and 15, depending on how full the tank is.
Portable tanks come in six tiers.
|20,000 mB
|80,000 mB
|180,000 mB
|320,000 mB
|500,000 mB
|Provides an unlimited amount of the fluid it stores.
