Sole Proprietorship: Consider this the path of least resistance, but know that it comes at a price. If you're operating without any partners and haven't registered a formal business structure, you'll automatically be classified as a sole proprietor and have no liability protection whatsoever. No need to file articles of incorporation/organization, but you might benefit from filing a DBA.
Start part time and build this business carefully! Only buy items you are confident that you can sell relatively quickly for a good mark-up, and avoid getting stuck with slow moving inventory. To really succeed, develop deep expertise in a specialty and build a loyal customer base.
Twice I have heard Jim Koch, founder of Sam Adams beer, talk about how he started his business. I find this to be a tough business. First you need a brew master with deep expertise. Then you have to get your beer taste to be very distinctive and very pleasing. You need consistent quality. You need to stand out versus the many other small brewers, build a clientele, and arrange for transportation. Nonetheless the market is huge and because of the success of micro-breweries, established beer distributors are increasingly willing to take on smaller labels.
Think of some of the biggest success stories in recent times, such as John Lennon and Paul McCartney; Bill Gates and Paul Allen; Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak; and Larry Page and Sergey Brin. In every case, the partnership brought out the best in both sides of the equation.
Fascinated by interior design? Have a huge collection of interior design materials around? Many people are quite happy to hire someone to help them decorate their home, and that's especially true of those who want a magazine-caliber style yet don't have an eye for design at all.
Potential challenges: You will likely run into serious competition from repair shops and phone provider service programs, such as AppleCare. You can lower these risks by offering your services at a lower cost.

Though this might seem like a very niche market for a small town business, the reality is that the vaping industry (and community) is currently exploding in the U.S. To give you a sense of how big the vaping market is, Quartz reported that Yelp has 10,591 "vape shops" currently listed in their database. That's a huge number, especially considering that the rate of traditional smoking continues to steadily decline. Depending on where you are in the country, however, due to state regulations, opening a vape shop will be easier in some states than in others. So make sure to check out your state's laws before pursuing this business idea. Resources such as VapeMentors can also help guide you when getting your business up and running.
Craft beer is popular today, as are local, independently-owned businesses. If you're passionate about beer, consider starting a microbrewery that offers unique flavors and quality products. You can experiment with different brewing techniques and conduct taste tests. You'll also save startup money by opting for a smaller business rather than a large brewery or chain. Choose a lively location and plan your venture.
It might surprise you, but opening a flower shop is a fairly inexpensive business idea and great for small towns. That is, less expensive than say a restaurant or a car wash. According to openaflowershop.com, starting a flower shop has relatively few costs compared to other retail businesses. One of the only costs you will be faced with is the purchase of a cooler to keep your product (aka pretty flowers) fresh and cool.
Now that you have your idea in place, you need to ask yourself a few important questions: What is the purpose of your business? Who are you selling to? What are your end goals? How will you finance your startup costs? All of these questions can be answered in a well-written business plan.
There are a variety of print-on-demand platforms you can work with, many of which can be integrated with your Shopify store for seamless order fulfillment. However, be sure to always order a sample of your product (often offered at a discount) to make sure your custom products look good.

Golf is an excellent lifetime sport and people are willing to pay to try to master it!
The online business ideas above covered can be combined in a variety of ways to start a business that's uniquely yours. If the idea of sourcing, storing and shipping inventory kept you from starting a business before, begin with an inventory-free, low-investment business model and grow from there.

Photography can be very competitive and having a specialty, such as boudoir, can help attract customers and justify higher fees. The market for this tends to be brides and young wives buying pictures as a gift for their husband.
Expenses. These are the costs for operations that occur during the start-up phase. They include tax-deductible costs such as travel, payroll, rent, office supplies, marketing materials, etc. They also include initial organizational costs like legal fees and state incorporation fees. Many (but not all) of these costs are tax deductible, up to $5,000 in the first year of doing business. You can deduct the remaining costs in equal instalments over a period of 180 months (starting with the month in which your business opens).

"'How much farther?' Baby asked. 'Is it miles and miles to home?'
'No,' answered Daddy. 'We are just walking around the block.'
'Can't we just walk around you?' asked Baby. 'That would be the same thing'
Daddy had to think on that one as they continued their way around the block, the echoes of their footsteps bouncing between them; the buildings settling in creaks with each step."' -Cyndi D.

From the Doodle/Song Sommelier:
"I have two songs for this one. These are clearly some kind of building-bug transformers. I needed music that sounded like clanging buildings transforming into moving creatures. I think Beck's song "Cellphone's Dead" does this. And a few of the lines in his word salad of lyrics complement what's going on this scene. If I had to pick one song, "Cellphone's Dead" would be it. I'm including another song, though, because of the relationship between the two bugs. The little one is looking at the big one with a look that is a mixture of awe, reverence, and fear. Meanwhile, the big one is looking like some sort of condescending and conceited hero. Is he a super-hero or a super-villain? It's for this reason that I'm also including "Spider" by They Might Be Giants. It works too."

The Brief
St Columba's Hospice was looking to replace the existing video on its website homepage. The new video was intended to showcase the hospice's amazing facilities as well inform the public about the services and support provided to both patients and family members.
The Process
After gaining appropriate permissions from contributors themselves, as well as family members in some cases, a range of interviews were conducted. From the charity's CEO to current patients, family members to staff and volunteers, a number of perspectives revealed a common thread: appreciation, warmth and kindness. With the delicate nature of this subject matter, Tanami worked in a highly sensitive, non-intrusive fashion, causing as little disruption as possible to daily activity. Each interview was conducted in privacy with a minimalist crew and time was taken to understand each interviewees relationship with the hospice prior to filming.
The Result
As well as delivering a 3-minute video which would sit on the St Columba's Hospice website homepage and social media channels, Tanami also produced:
The 3-minute edit is the most watched video ever on St Columba's Hospice Facebook page, having clocked up nearly 17k views in the first two weeks alone. It was also shared 300+ times and has received a lot of appreciative comments, with many saying the video was 'brilliant', 'very moving' and 'beautifully and sensitively made'.

Re: Oringinal Vortex Separator
Answered By: pafalafa-ga on 08 Mar 2005 07:28 PST
Eric, Well I'll be... Turns out, I'm a better researcher than I gave myself credit for, because I did manage to find your grandfather's Swiss patent. And your grandfather might have been a much more prolific inventor than you ever expected! Let's begin with the vortex separator: Swiss patent #176353 was issued on April 15, 1935 to Fred Bruno Schneider of Wesleyville, Pennsylvania. The title of the patent is: Fliehkraft-Staubabscheider...don't ask me what it means, but there's a lovely drawing of a vortex separator included with the patent. You can see the entire 4-page document at this link: http://v3.espacenet.com/origdoc?DB=EPODOC&IDX=CH176353&F=0&QPN=CH176353 Let me know if you have any difficulty in opening or viewing the file. The link above is from the site of the European Patent Office, which has a very handy search tool that, wonderfully enough, will find patents not only in Europe, but in the US as well, so it is a great tool for searching for the history of your grandfather's numerous inventions. Searching is a bit clumsy at the site, but a search on the inventor's name [ schneider fred ] will return many of your grandfather's patents. There will also be many other patents listed that happen to have the names "Schneider" and "Fred" included but that don't belong to your grandfather. All told, there are about 130 search results, and the ones that bear your grandfather's name are: Vorrichtung zum Ausscheiden von festen Bestandteilen aus gasförmigen MedienVorrichtung zum Ausscheiden von festen Bestandteilen aus gasförmigen Medien Inventor: FRED BRUNO SCHNEIDER CH176351 - 1935-04-15 http://v3.espacenet.com/origdoc?DB=EPODOC&IDX=CH176351&F=0&QPN=CH176351 Vorrichtung zum Abscheiden von festen Bestandteilen aus Luft bezw.

Nobody was interested in leaving camp this morning. Even Early Bird (Formerly Alyssa) was not pushing out of camp before 7:00am. Today was Alex's Birthday. We all got up to sing happy birthday while he was still in his tent. We gave him a snickers bar with a candle in it. The sun started to come out shortly before I started to pack up my tent. I left it up to dry out a bit, but the clouds started to roll back in so I decided to book it out of camp. I nearly ran the next 6 miles where the next water source was (at a Ranger Station) in just under 2 hours. Mainly to stay warm, but the trail also significantly dropped in elevation over these miles and running downhill is easier in the knees than walking slowly. It was windy and cold, so I hurried to use the outhouse and refill my water. Back on the trail, it immediately warmed up as the sun broke through. I was hiking with ST and we both had to take off our warm jackets not a mile away from the Ranger Station.
Around 11 miles for the day I stopped to dry all the things. My pack kind of exploded everywhere again (picture is after I packed most of my stuff away). Eventually I used my umbrella (first time of the trip!!!) because the sun was so intense. Soon after I left, the group caught up to me. This also included a couple of Alex's friends who met him out of the trail, Reah and Lani.
They flew past me at a break necking pace. I hurried along with the intention of going to the Acton KOA and getting some ice cream. When I arrived at a parking lot along the trail (mile 14), there was the group and a table full of good food. Raeh and Lani had brought a ton of food and beer to help celebrate Alex's birthday. It was a really good time. Especially after the 3 days of cold weather we just went through. The entire time, we all joked that we weren't going to make it out of the parking lot and that we should just setup camp where we were. After a few hours of relaxing, we were back on the move. Reah and Lani joined us for the night out. Our plan was at least another 4 miles. We made it 5.6, which was at an awesome seasonal creek bed. Cowboy camping tonight. Everyone made it to about 10:30 pm before crashing. [wpvideo 4oeAZVr5]

Childcare, it's one of the biggest issues personally and professionally. I will say, once the childcare piece is in place you can concentrate on the here and now, which is your baby.
Giving yourself enough time to find someone and hire them before you actually have to return to work , should leave you feeling much more confident in your decision. For all parents, the overwhelming question of "how do I begin this search" is often coupled with a fear of leaving their baby with a "stranger". Good and affordable childcare is an emotional and financial issue for all parents.
A part time babysitter can run $12-15 an hour. A nanny (full time sitter) can range in price from $400-700. Referrals come from all sorts of places; neighbors, friend's babysitters, the playground, a bulletin board, your friends. If you are looking for a part time or occasional sitter, you might try calling Cabrini High School at 212 923-3540, talk to the dean of students. They have identified good candidates for babysitting and will help match a student with a family. Barnard Babysitting Service is another option. Their telephone number is 212-854-2035. For a low fee they will try to match a student with your family's part-time needs. You also might try posting in the lobby of Columbia's School of Nursing student service board. Fax over your job description (212-305-3680) .
Before you interview the perspective nanny/babysitter you might want to find out their past experience and describe what you'll need. Check references first then have a face to face. When talking to past employers ask if they'd hire them again. Find out how they found her and when and why she left. When interviewing the candidate clearly state what your expectations are and find out how flexible she is. Discuss safety issues and setting limits. Try to figure out what your views on TV or phone use would be, you expectation around nap schedules or housekeeping. Legally, you can ask anything you might feel is pertinent, from their health or medications they take to their own childcare needs. You can also ask to see an ID or driver's license. You'll want to be up front about vacations, sick days, travel expenses and general expectations. Some families write up agreements that all parties sign.
If a full time sitter is not affordable, Family Daycare, tends to be a less expensive option. Word of mouth and resources such as the Day Care Council of NY (www.dccnyinc.org) can provide licensed listings. Licensing requires 1 adult per 6 children (2 of which can be infants). Group Family Day Care requires 2 adults (1 provider and 1 assistant) for up to 12 kids, 4 of which can be infants.
Family day care can be a lovely option. Find out if they are licensed, what the ratio is, how the space accommodates both toddlers and infants, ask around and observe. The Department of Health can provide information on reported violations. For local listings of childcare resources you can look up www.washington-heights.us/ and click on resources and then click on childcare and you will find centers in the area.
Remember, who you hire now might not be the person you have in 6 months, 1 year or 3 . Your needs might change and your child's needs might change. Factor in a trial period. From my experience there are more good childcare providers than bad. The more time you can have with this person or place before returning to work, the more comfortable you'll feel leaving your baby. The relationship, ultimately, can be an enriching and loving experience for your baby and an asset to your family.

Univision sustains big earnings hit
Univision reported a 24% drop in pre-tax earnings (EBITDA) to $47.8 million for the first quarter, on a 7% revenue gain to $194.9 million.
The company said the drop in EBITDA was attributable to an $11.9 million charge related to program write-offs and severance packages for layoffs. The company said second quarter television revenues would climb between 1% and 4% and between 7% and 10% for the full year, although that assumes a "modestly improving economic climate in the second half of the year."
Univision said its on-line division would post a loss of at least $30 million for the full year. A second TV network, set to launch in January of 2002 on stations being acquired from USA Networks Inc., will incur $5 million in start-up costs this year, the company said. - Steve McClellan

Peru taps into Solano's contacts ready for World Cup return
In the 36 years since Peru last played at the World Cup so much has changed in football.
"There is no hiding anymore," Peru assistant coach Nolberto Solano said in an interview with The Associated Press. "There are no more secrets."
That works both ways.
It will be harder for the Peruvians to spring a surprise on opponents who can glean tactical nuances from combing through footage. But it is easier than ever before to keep tabs on their group-stage rivals in Russia. Especially when Peru can turn to Solano to call in favors from Newcastle, the English Premier League club where he spent most of his playing career.
A recent trip back to northeast England allowed Solano to tap into the coaching wisdom of manager Rafa Benitez and his insight on players from Peru's Group C opponents: Australia, Denmark and France.
"It's good to hear from a manager who can give you tips and advice," Solano said. "He is watching the players closer. He has a lot of experience."
The Spaniard, who previously coached Liverpool and Real Madrid, is feeding intel back to Solano as the World Cup looms.
Benitez has a good vantage point: Most teams at the World Cup feature players from the English leagues. In Peru's group that includes France midfielder Paul Pogba (Manchester United), Tottenham playmaker Christian Eriksen (Denmark) and Brighton goalkeeper Mathew Ryan (Australia).
Peru's toughest game at its fifth World Cup is the second game in Group C in Yekaterinburg against 2016 European Championship finalist France, which can deploy Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann up front.
"It's a really great-paced team," Solano said, "and strong in the middle with (Blaise) Matuidi, Pogba. (N'Golo) Kante. All of them very physical. So we need to make sure we don't give any space to the lads because they will kill you."
The first blow to Peru's World Cup prospects could be inflicted before the tournament begins, by the world sports court.
The fate of Paolo Guerrero is in the hands of the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The Peru captain was initially hit with a year-long doping ban after testing positive for cocaine metabolites at a World Cup qualifier in October. A World Cup reprieve came when Guerrero succeeded in halving the FIFA punishment on appeal but the World Anti-Doping Agency called on CAS to lengthen the striker's exclusion from football to two years.
"He is a special player," Solano said. "We have a very young squad. He is a reference. He is a leader. He is our best striker. He is our main guy. He is very important for us."
Peru has built the team around its all-time top scorer just as Newcastle did in Solano's days with Alan Shearer as the target man.
"He's a typical No. 9 like a Shearer," Solano said, resorting often to English terminology. "Our gaffer (coach) loves to play the game from the back."
The first Peruvian to play in the Premier League, Solano gained cult status in northeast England during two spells at Newcastle: 1998-2004, which included a spell in the Champions League, and 2005-08. After flitting between club management jobs in his homeland, the 43-year-old Solano is finding his feet in the national team setup under coach Ricardo Gareca.
Fortunately for Solano, he is working under a Peruvian federation not taking kneejerk decisions for once. When four of the opening six South American qualifiers were lost, it looked like Peru would be missing out on another World Cup and the coaching staff would be replaced.
"The federation was strong to keep the manager," Solano said. "It never happened before, even when I was a player there, always after losing three or four matches you sack the manager. But this time I think everyone believes in Ricardo Gareca as our head coach."
Peru turned it around and finished above South American champion Chile in the qualifying standings to secure a playoff. Victory against New Zealand over two legs sent Peru to its first World Cup since 1982 – a drought Solano endured as a player for the team.
"Everybody is still very emotional because it happened after so many years," Solano said. "It's been a frustration for people but now people are connecting again in football. That will help a lot in our country … I hope this World Cup will give a big push for all the nation, for all the clubs."
It's a platform too, for Solano to advance his coaching career. The World Cup will be another chance to gain knowledge. Having also played for Aston Villa and West Ham, Solano inevitably draws inspiration from managers in England.
"I could go the easy way," Solano said. "Everyone goes to follow (Manchester City's Pep) Guardiola because it's pretty football everyone would wish to play. But in general I have always been a big fan of Arsene Wenger. I know probably many people would disagree with me."
With Wenger preparing to leave Arsenal after 22 years it is unlikely Solano will get to share a touchline with the Frenchman. The target, eventually, for Solano is a return to the Premier League.
Just like Peru's long wait to return to the World Cup, Solano is patient when it comes to the second phase of his football career in the dugout after retiring from playing in 2011. The World Cup will be a learning experience for both the team and the assistant coach who scored 20 times in 95 appearances from 1994 to 2009.
"It takes time because you still think a little bit as a player," Solano said. "The key is you have to leave your past as a player behind. You have to train. You have to understand your players and they have to learn from you. … In football nobody has got the answers. You try your best."

If I have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) with another provider, must I purchase an Allianz policy?
If you have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) with another provider, you do not have to purchase an Allianz policy. However, it is a student visa requirement that you must have current OSHC for the full duration of your student visa.

Coming to Meher Mount - Coincidence or Divine Plan?
Margaret Magnus
By Margaret Magnus
In July 2010, Samantha and Leslie Bridger, along with their 16-year-old daughter, Georgie, arrived at Meher Mount to assume their new duties as volunteer Manager/Caretakers. They emigrated to the US from Forest Row in East Sussex in the United Kingdom (UK).
Leslie Bridger had been an estate manager and groundsman. He trained with the British Conservation Trust Volunteers in conjunction with the Plumpton Agricultural College and received certificates in forestry and related equipment use.
For most of his professional career, Leslie worked as an electrical/mechanical maintenance engineer with the British Airports Authority. He also published a collection of his poetry, Fishing for God - A Poetic Awakening, under the pen name Aman.
Professionally, Samantha worked as a complementary healing therapist and was trained in massage therapy, reflexology, Reiki therapy, and clinical and holistic aromatherapy. She was involved in fund raising for their daughters' activities, playing an active role in their PTA.
Georgie was a high school junior at the Ojai Valley School. Their second daughter, Rebecca, stayed in England joining them later.
Coming to Meher Mount - Coincidence or Divine Plan?
In the summer of 2009, the Bridger family was on vacation in the US scouting out places where they might like to live. In their travels, they were drawn to Ojai, CA, deciding that it had the qualities they wanted.
While in the Ojai area, they, of course, visited Meher Mount. On one of their visits, Sam Ervin and I were in residence as temporary caretakers.
When Leslie and Samantha arrived, Sam greeted them and began sharing some of his stories about Meher Mount. He also mentioned that the board was recruiting for new Manager/Caretakers to start sometime the following year.
Listening to this conversation, I thought to myself, "Sam, why are you bothering to discuss this? They live in England and probably don't know many people in the US who would be likely candidates."
At just that point, Leslie said, "We would be interested in being considered for the Manager/Caretaker position."
Leslie then indicated that the family had already decided to emigrate to Ojai because they felt at home in the area. In addition, they had relevant experience and flexibility in their current professions. And after having learned of Avatar Meher Baba and becoming involved in the UK Meher Baba Association in 2007, they were definitely drawn to Meher Mount.
Moreover, they wouldn't be available until the following year when their daughter Georgie graduated from her school and they had completed all the necessary immigration paperwork - so the timing was perfect.
They left saying they'd be in touch. And they were! They agreed to come to Meher Mount to be temporary Manager/Caretakers to see if volunteering for this position was something they really wanted.
A Flooded Kitchen and a Leaky Roof
On their first visit around Christmas 2009, the Leslie and Samantha arrived in a downpour at Meher Mount with the roof leaking and puddles of water all over the kitchen floor. It was a great orientation to "real life" at Meher Mount.
The Bridgers pitched in and cleaned up the water and worked with the resident Manager/Caretaker Ray Johnston in doing another roof patch. Then they settled in for a week at Meher Mount and loved it.
An Encounter with the Iceland Volcano Fallout
In April 2010, the Bridgers came back, this time with 16-year-old Georgie, to see what life would be like for all three of them and to visit high schools in the area. Mission accomplished, and they began their trek back to the UK.
However, at Los Angeles international airport, they discovered that all planes to and from Northern Europe and the UK were grounded due to the volcanic ash erupting through the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland.
Unable to fly, they went back to Meher Mount where Georgie had a chance to spend the day at her proposed new high school, becoming more convinced this was the place for her.
So it seems that Sam's intuition was right in mentioning the Manager/ Caretaker opening to "unlikely" prospects.

Let's check whether we mean the same thing when you're saying that I contradict myself and when I say that both assumptions complete each other. After all, the fullness doesn't exclude opposites. I assume that I have chosen to be born in our country. Since HE became president I realize that I haven't been able to identify with the foreign policy of my country; consequently, I decide to leave. So, after having chosen (100% of my influence) the place of my birth, the die is cast, nevertheless, all other choices (to leave or to stay) are open. And the third thing is a saying that comes from the Chinese numerology: it doesn't matter what you have; it matters what you do with it. I have the impression that in your opinion being a woman limits you in many respects.
$ O, yes, this is a men's world.
$ What I'm saying is not about coming to the conclusion: I'm not happy with the gender I have chosen so I'm going to have a sex reassignment surgery, change my name and documents. All this is outside and real changes take place inside. What do men have, what do men do that you envy?
$ So many things!
$ Name three of them.
$ The traditional division of labor favors them.
$ Men placidly work and as far as possible earn for the family life while women go from one workplace (i.e. their office) to the other (i.e. the house).
$ Men have more power in companies and in politics – with other men they go fishing, drink shots, go to cathouses, they work things out in a way that is inaccessible to women.
$ Right.
$ And in a natural way they don't care about the outside world: a T-shirt – it doesn't matter for how many days I have been wearing it until I notice a specific smell; mopping the floors – whatever for, I never put on my slippers when I'm home anyway; washing up – not before mugs run out.
$ Let's have a closer look at this. Can you influence the division of labor in your family? Because it's only about your house, your family, your life.
$ Basically, I can. But look. For example the recent car thing. He promised to analyze the offers, test some cars and buy one. And so what? He knows that finally I won't be able to stand it and I'll deal with it.
$ I married a wonderful woman who spoils me. Although I promise to do something and don't do it, eventually she does this for me. I love this quality in my wife so I do everything I can to develop this.
$ You're a monster.
$ What you see you are. Listen to this. In fact, you like the way it is because you know how your husband functions and what you can do about it, how to react. You're too lazy to radically change yourself so that you can enjoy as a part of your life something you declare you envy men.
$ I am lazy?! I resent that.
$ Let me explain what I mean. This is this kind of laziness I observe among people who come to see me because they want to learn say German.
- Your method seems so efficient, tell me then what our classes will look like.
So I say:
- At the first meeting we'll talk about this and that, I'll show you this and that method, we'll meet in one-month time and we'll see what you did.
- But I'm not going to do anything. I don't feel like it.
From my observation, this 'I don't feel like it' is only a cover, an armor protecting you from e.g. cognitive dissonance.
$ Right. I can learn German with my body and soul and not achieve what I wanted in the time I expected.

Game Spotlight: Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D for Nintendo 3DS
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is the remake of the 2010 game Donkey Kong Country Returns for the Nintendo Wii. This side-scrolling platform remake boasts new and improved 3D graphics for Nintendo's latest handheld, along with added extras.
Take on the role of Donkey Kong, with help from his friend Diddy, as you travel throughout the vibrant, colourful world to recover your stolen banana stash. A group of evil Tikis known as the Tiki Tak Tribe have arrived on Donkey Kong Island after being awoken by a volcanic explosion, and have hypnotised the animals on the island with their music, forcing them to steal Donkey Kong's bananas! Since only Donkey and Diddy are resistant to the Tikis music, it is up to them to get back the bananas and stop the Tiki Tak Tribe!
Quest throughout eight different worlds to find the bananas: the Jungle, the Beach, the Ruins, the Cave, the Forest, the Cliff, the Factory, and the Volcano. Be prepared though, as a Tiki Tak tribe leader will be waiting for you at the end of each level!
Two heads are better than one! With the use of two Nintendo 3DS handheld systems, two people can play together at one time as Donkey and Diddy. Partners can go through the levels separately, or join as one unit as Diddy can ride around on Donkey's back and hop off whenever he likes. Keep an eye out for a wide variety of hidden items and puzzle pieces that can be found lurking in all the levels.
Crank up the nostalgia and go on a hunt for stolen bananas with Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D.

The RUAF Foundation, its partner ETC Foundation and PPO of Wageningen University are organising a series of thematic meetings in the Netherlands to foster policy debate on sustainable food consumption and production, to discuss opportunities and constraints for enhancing both intra- and peri-urban agriculture in the Netherlands and to facilitate exchange and dialogue in the learning community "GROW the City".
Duration: 1 year
Funding: Oxfam Novib
Project partners: RUAF Foundation (coordinator), Applied Plant Research Institute (PPO) of the Wageningen University & Research Centre.
- Organisation of a South-North exchange of experiences in Urban Agriculture and drawing of lessons (e.g. regarding the embedding of urban agriculture initiatives in the wider urban system and their integration into urban policies and spatial planning) for use in the Netherlands. To that effect fact sheets on urban agriculture experiences in the global South and in the 4 involved cities in Netherlands are made available. Also representatives of cities with relevant experience in the South (like Rosario, Argentina; Cape Town, South Africa; Lima, Peru and Ghana) and North (like Ghent, Belgium; Toronto, Canada and Milan, Italy) are invited to come to the Netherlands to share their experiences.
- Organisation of four so-called "Urban Farming Cafés" in 4 different cities (Groningen, Almere, Rotterdam and Utrecht) in the Netherlands. Each café has a specific central topic such as for example urban agriculture as a strategy for climate change adaptation, urban food policies, business models for urban agriculture, citizens' participation and urban food and agriculture planning. Each Urban Farming Café is organised in collaboration with the Dutch host city, and the central topic is chosen based on their demand.
- Organisation of targeted media activities preceding each Urban Farming Café, by stimulating discussions and sharing content articles and inspiring short videos through the social media. To that effect a project website and project pages at Twitter (#growthecity) and Facebook are established. Together, these social media activities aim to generate a social community in which the Urban Farming Cafés are embedded and to stimulate broader public interest.
Results achieved:
- Exchange of experiences among cities in the global South and North resulting in joint learning processes and strengthening of knowledge and competences.
- Improved dialogue in the Netherlands among different stakeholder groups and actors interested in urban agriculture and urban food strategies (citizens, entrepreneurs, governments, societal organisations, etc.) resulting in a strengthening of networks and new local initiatives.
- Increased social and policy debates on urban agriculture and city food strategies in the Netherlands.
- Demonstrated potential for integrating international exchange in local innovation processes in cities:
The project was well received by participating cities, as Henk Meijer from the City of Almere, organiser of the World Horticultural Expo Floriade in 2022, comments: "The urban agriculture café is a good example of how Almere wants to grow towards becoming a green city. The collaboration with GROW the City brought us the value added we were looking for, both locally and internationally".
Also Andrea Calori, guest in the Almere café on behalf of the City of Milan indicates that he has taken several new ideas from the GROW the City collaboration. "By participating in the UA café, I have learned several concrete lessons that also could be applied in the City of Milan, for example: Organising the management of municipal land by a city farm, including environmental management criteria as part of the contract. And also the way in which Almere city mobilises young people and entrepreneurs as 'Urban Greeners' is an approach that we can use in Milan" .
The following factsheets and videos on urban agriculture initiatives of the participating Dutch and Southern partner cities are produced.
- Factsheet Rosario, Argentina (in Dutch)
- Factsheet Groningen,the Netherlands (in Dutch)
- Factsheet Rotterdam, the Netherlands (in Dutch)
- Factsheet Utrecht, the Netherlands (in Dutch)
- Factsheet Almere, the Netherlands (in English)
- Factsheet Cape Town, South Africa (in Dutch)

The village of Itsukimura was completely relocated and several formidably high bridges were constructed in preparation for construction of a new dam. The problem is the plan for the dam was scrapped so that left Itsukimura with a brand new town, and Bungy Japan with a staggeringly high bridge to put to use! Jump for joy? Oh yes! It'll be a BIG jump!
The Itsukimura area is accessed by a scenic drive from any of Kyushu's urban centers that many motorcycling and touring enthusiasts flock to (not to mention car companies filming TV commercials!). The area boasts a plethora of outdoor activities such as mountain biking and river rafting in addition to the abundance of hot springs. And if all the outdoor activities have your stomach rumbling, we suggest you try the delectable local deep fried deer!
On days when the level of the river is just right we sometimes offer the water touch experience. What sort of water you ask? The Kawabe River is known as one of Japan's top 3 cleanest rivers! Take the Itsukimura bungy challenge and find out what all the hype is about!

When a woman is prosperous, she emanates a harmonious fragrance and flowering essence of security, grace,depth, character and heart centered nurturing and truthfulness. In Kundalini Yoga, we recognize that we are all part of creation as ONE. Creation operates on the principle of flowering abundance. The sun gives. The earth gives. The rain gives. Then the plants flower. The food is grown. Fruits ripen. This infinite cycle exists for us to participate fully! Within the awareness of our participation in this cosmic cycle, consciousness evolves in so many beautiful perfect forms on the Earth. In fact, true prosperity does not come from accumulation of as many earthly
possessions as possible: True prosperity happens when our authenticity comes into this state of flowering awareness, where everyone has something unique and truly valuable to share. Come join and co-create a flowering connection to your destiny….
This retreat is filled with sacred technology and tools, kriyas, mantras, and meditation to help you embody and activate your capacity to expand and develop prosperity consciousness for yourself, and to share with others in our

The food was mediocre and I wouldn't choose to eat here again. They did have quite a few vegan options which was handy for my daughter who is vegan, but they weren't particularly inspired. Her vegan chili was nice, but nothing special. My salad with crayfish was ok, but I don't think the flavours worked together particularly well. The vegan pudding was deemed 'nice' by my daughter. My chocolate brownie was ok. Service was ok, but nothing special. I had a free glass of bubbly as it was mothers day - it was served a bit warm.

Bringing Artisanal Cheeses To Beijing
Bringing Artisanal Cheeses To Beijing
When Sharon Ruwart moved from California to Beijing in 2004, she thought she'd have to give up her beloved artisanal cheeses in China's largely cheeseless society. But the group she started, Beijing Cheese Society, is spreading a taste for fancy cheese in her adopted home country. Ruwart talks with Liane Hansen.
LIANE HANSEN, host:
Visitors to China soon discover that it is largely a country without cheese. It has been for centuries. Sharon Ruwart thought she would have to give up her great passion for gourmet cheese when she moved to Beijing from California a few years ago. But the American soon found that other ex-patriots were bemoaning their cheeseless existence, so Ruwart founded the Beijing Cheese Society. The group is trying to spread the taste for fancy cheese in her adopted home. Sharon Ruwart is on the line from her home in Beijing. Welcome to the program.
Ms. SHARON RUWART (Founder, Beijing Cheese Society): Thank you.
HANSEN: What are you tasting now?
Ms. RUWART: Right now, I'm tasting Red Hawk cheese made by the Cowgirl Creamery in Northern California. Friends of mine flew in today from California and tucked it into their bag for me.
HANSEN: Ooh, would I get in trouble if I ask you how you get the gourmet cheese for the society meetings in Beijing?
Ms. RUWART: I don't think you will. But I might.
HANSEN: All right. Can you give us a hint?
Ms. RUWART: We have volunteer cheese mules, people in the society who bring cheeses back from whatever exotic country they're traveling from. They check it in their bags and bring it to my house from the airport so that we can put in our special cheese fridge.
HANSEN: OK. Is the Cheese Society doing anything special during the Olympics?
Ms. RUWART: We're trying to work out a date with the Swiss House. There are a number of country houses that get set up during Olympic times. Switzerland has a lovely one, and they're featuring Raclette and fondue.
HANSEN: Naturally.
Ms. RUWART: Yeah, naturally. So we're trying to find a time that would work for us to do that.
HANSEN: Cool. Tell us what goes on at your regular Beijing Cheese Society events.
Ms. RUWART: About once a month we gather to taste, usually focused on cheeses from a particular country that someone's coming from. And then we compose a multiple choice cheese quiz for every event. It gets highly competitive because there's prizes for the winners as well as often a booby prize for the losers.
HANSEN: What's the prize they get in the game? Crackers?
(Soundbite of laughter)
Ms. RUWART: It depends. It depends on what I have on hand. It can be a can of spray cheese.
HANSEN: Ooh, Cheez Whiz.
Ms. RUWART: Yeah, or it can be something from - yeah, Cheez Whiz for the cheese whiz.
HANSEN: Why isn't there a tradition of cheese making in China?
Ms. RUWART: Well, there isn't a milk drinking or a dairy tradition, mainly because of the lack of arable land, which means you can't have ruminant animals that need a lot of pasturage.
HANSEN: What do your Chinese friends and colleagues say when they get a taste of a good Gouda?
Ms. RUWART: You know, I'm not sure that good Gouda really evokes the kind of passion for cheese that true aficionados seek. But if we move it to a really profound Roquefort or a washed rind cheese, what we find from Chinese colleagues is pretty similar to a lot of Westerners who say, I don't like goat cheese, or, I don't like smelly cheese. But I always say, we just haven't found the right one for you.
HANSEN: Sharon Ruwart, she's co-founder of the Beijing Cheese Society, and she joined us from her home in Beijing. Thank you so much.
Ms. RUWART: Thank you so much.

Last month I spoke to NZ Retail magazine about succession planning for their cover story: 'Don't leave it too long'. It's a great feature by Jai Breitnauer with insights into selling your business before it passes its sell-by date, and making your business sale-ready.
You can read my full comments below:
Geoff Hamilton from SME Financial in Auckland calls this having a 'sale-ready' business, and says one of the most common factors that devalues a business is too much dependency on the owner.
"If the owner is so important to the business they're limited to being able to sell to someone like themselves. They're not going to be able to sell to an investor who wants to buy a business that will operate itself and produce a passive income." Hamilton says a good business will have systems and processes in place so the business can be run by the staff with the owner absent. This will ultimately increase the value of the business to a prospective buyer, or make it easier to hand the business on to children who don't necessarily have the right skills.
Succession planning early can also assist business structure and growth - something Hamilton believes is hugely overlooked.
"People get so involved in the everyday, every decision, micro managing, they haven't put their head above ground to see how they could organise things so they don't have to be there all the time," says Hamilton. "I ask business owners, if they freed up 20 hours a week, how much more new business could they generate? Usually SME owners say, 'We could double the turnover!' so why don't they get someone in to give them that 20 hours? Because it means they have to go without things."
Hamilton notes that businesses with good cashflow often invest in the trappings of success, like a new car or the latest mobile phone, when they should really be investing in training and developing staff, and on infrastructure.

Rainy weather did not keep nearly 150 people away from the East Gainesville Neighborhood Party, which was billed as one-stop shopping for all of the city of Gainesville housing programs.
The smell of hot dogs and hamburgers being grilled and the laughter of children filled the air at the 2nd annual East Gainesville Neighborhood Party held Saturday at the Eastside Recreation Center.
It was sponsored by the city of Gainesville Housing Division in partnership with the Gainesville/Duval Front Porch Florida Inc., a state agency that helps distressed communities by providing programs that improve the quality of life of the residents.
"The people kept coming in droves throughout the day," said Teresa Osoba, housing finance coordinator and neighborhood party coordinator. "I thought the rain would keep them away, but people were here waiting to get in before 10 a.m., which lets us know there is a need for what we're offering."
Jackie Richardson, housing manager for the city of Gainesville Housing Division, said the event brought their office to the people.
"We're here to let them know we can help them with their housing needs," said Richardson. "So many people can't repair or buy homes so we're here to fill the gap and to look at what housing needs they need to achieve."
It can be said the "party" was a fun family affair with a purpose.
Inside the center, adults tended to their housing needs and completed applications to programs that included homeowner rehabilitation, emergency roof repair, new construction, down payment assistance, mortgage foreclosure intervention, credit repair, budget and debt management, housing recycling, housing counseling, homebuyer education and training, and renter's power and renter's rehabilitation programs.
Outside the center, children enjoyed supervised play in a Moonwalk, and everyone enjoyed the barbecue and a live broadcast by Magic 101.3/Gospel 1430 AM featuring Jamie "Babyface" Pendleton.
"The housing division is doing a very important service, particularly to the east Gainesville community,�� said Karl "The Rev." Anderson. ��It's wonderful that they (housing division) are giving the community one-on-one attention. Our radio station has partnered with them, and we're glad to be part of this event."
After tending to their housing needs, adults gathered at picnic tables for conversation and to enjoy picnicking with their children.
"It has been very informative," said Cheryl Lock, "and it gives something different for the children (to do)."
Betty Mann said she has been approved for the homebuyer program and is in the process of looking for a home to buy.
"The homebuyer education class showed us what to look for in a house," said Mann, "and to make sure it's in a good neighborhood."
Lillian Walls, 85, said she came to the "party" for the entertainment and to support the housing staff for all the help they have given her.
"They (housing division) approved my application to fix my house," said Walls, who has owned her home for 37 years. "They will fix my roof and my doors and give me central heating."
It was also a "family affair" for the housing staff, whose children were on hand to lend a hand and also earn community service hours. Belvi Jones, a ninth-grader at Buchholz High School and the daughter of housing finance coordinator Benina Jones Sumwashe, watched the children playing in the Moonwalk.
Folakemi Osoba, an 11th-grader at Eastside High School and Osoba's daughter, followed her mother around helping with anything that came up, from helping in the soda trailer to serving food.
Almarene Beckford, an intake counselor for the housing division, brought her niece, Dawn Marie Parker, a ninth-grader at Gainesville High School, and her granddaughter, Sashoy Findley, a 10th-grader at Buchholz, who were busy manning the soda trailer.
Housing manager Richardson said those who couldn't make it to the "party" can get assistance with their housing needs by visiting the housing division office at 306 NE 6th Ave., Suite 253 in the Thomas Center, or by calling their office at (352) 334-5026.
"Our doors are always open," said Richardson.

Almost every one of the Boat Knights that spawn to guard the places I have recently been through have been unable to attack. I am able to row up and kill them while they refuse to react beyond flinching from damage.

I don't know what causes this bug, but I will just be sailing the high seas and see some poor immobile Knight waiting for to take his gears away. This doesn't seem to happen to the Knights that are spawned when the world is generated.
