Singapore is still the leading drinking capital of Asia, as the second annual ranking of Asia's 50 Best Bars announced yesterday (June 21) shows.
Manhattan bar at the Regent Singapore rises from fifth place last year to claim the top spot as Asia's Best Bar, taking over from last year's No. 1 - 28 HongKong Street, which is now in fourth place. Also sitting in the top 10 is Operation Dagger (No. 6) at Ann Siang Hill.
In total, 13 bars from Singapore make up the top 50 - with five new entries. They are Atlas (No. 12) at Parkview Square; Employees Only Singapore (No. 17) and Native (No. 20) - both at Amoy Street; Nutmeg & Clove (No. 30) at Ann Siang Hill; and The Other Room (No. 35) at Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel.
Fairmont Singapore's Anti:Dote bar - ranked No. 43 last year - did not make the cut this time. The rest of last year's entrants - Tippling Club (No. 11) in Tanjong Pagar Road; Gibson (No. 14) in Bukit Pasoh Road; Jigger & Pony (No. 21) in Amoy Street; D.Bespoke (No. 29) in Bukit Pasoh Road; and Sugarhall (No. 38) in Amoy Street - are still on the list.
China and Hong Kong also made a strong showing, with a combined total of 12 bars on the list - eight from Hong Kong alone. Shanghai's speakeasy bar Speak Low, the Best Bar in China, stays in second place.
Also retaining its spot in the top three is High Five - from Tokyo, Japan - which comes in at No. 3, and is one of the six bars to represent Japan on the list.
There are 18 new entries on the list this year, including Taiwan's Indulge Experimental Bistro, which comes in at No. 5, and is the Highest New Entry. India also makes an appearance on the list for the first time at No. 37, with Mumbai's Aer Bar & Lounge in Mumbai.
Almost 200 industry experts from Asia voted to determine the list.
The list is published by William Reed Business Media, which organises the annual World's 50 Best Bars Awards in October, as well as The World's 50 Best Restaurants, and Asia's 50 Best Restaurants lists.

Kribhco Chairman Chandra Pal Singh Yadav wants a more mature handling of the DBT scheme being attempted to by the Central govt in the fertilizer sector. The present arrangement is adding to chaos than to order, said Yadav to Indian Cooperative.
It bears recall that DBT scheme could be implemented only if all the retail points are equipped with PoS devices.
"We welcome DBT in fertilizer and in fact want the govt to directly transfer it to farmers but so is not the case as of now", he added. He specially listed the woes that appeared in the rural areas in the wake of PoS machines in selling fertilizer.
Fertilizer companies-be it Kribhco or IFFCO or any other companies have to furnish the receipts from PoS to claim subsidy. But PoS machine is woeful idea when it comes to rural areas where connectivity is a major issue yet, explained Chandra Pal.
"Very often you would discover that farmers are waiting at the centres as there is no network and thus the machine cannot operate", stated Yadav.
And even when they do, it takes at least 5-7 minutes to tackle a customer through the PoS machine- a time consuming affair compared to traditional method. This delay in serving one customer leads to huge congregation of farmers at the shop, said many others connected with selling urea in the countryside.
Besides, more often than note there are media headlines screaming "Non-supply of PoS delays DBT such and such areas." One of the news item recently mentioned that the delay in supply of PoS devices to retailers has compelled Odisha govt to postpone its DBT by a month.
The DBT scheme is being introduced to ensure transparency in the sale of fertilizers as the Centre has been giving subsidy of Rs 70,000 crore annually towards fertilizers. There are often media reports of huge backlog of subsidy not being paid to fertilizer cooperatives.
The matter was such a bane for the industry that while addressing the 53rd Annual function of Fertilizer Association of India (FAI) last December Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilisers Ananth Kumar said the remaining backlog of fertilizer subsidy to the tune of Rs 23 thousand crore would be cleared by March, before the onset of DBT across India.
His words were "Don't clap for me yet", he said to an enthusiastic gathering. "When I took over there was a backlog of Rs 44,000 and I assure you that I would personally meet the Finance Minister and related officials to ensure that the arrears are cleared before an new era of DBT slated from April 1,2018 is launched", Kumar underlined.
The industry continues to wait for the settlement of its dues.

For a larger home, we recommend purchasing the 3-pack so that you are able to monitor multiple locations at once. Please consider that for use in houses where wall material/thickness may be problematic for wireless signal, more units, or more security tags are recommended to cover the area well.Last updated:
Angee has a 3600mAh li-ion battery, which should provide up to 8 hours battery life streaming/recording live video!Last updated:
We are incredibly diligent in protecting both static data (inside Angee), and dynamic data (communication over the internet). We encrypt not only the communication between Angee and the cloud, but also the data when it is stored in the cloud. The encryption we use is SSL, the same standard as banks or the military. Angee itself is securely connected to only your device via bluetooth pairing. If the power is cut, Angee will continue to function, being able to detect intrusion and record video. If connection with Angee is lost, you will be notified by our server.Last updated:
We are thinking about enabling people to personalize Angee with various covers. Stay tuned after the campaign :)Last updated:
Currently Angee only supports English. If we reach our stretch goal we will also include Spanish, French and German. We will certainly add more language support if possible after the kickstarter campaign.Last updated:
Angee has on-board storage which can hold about 1 hour of HD quality video (more if video is set to lower quality). For storage of video online, we will be using Amazon Web Services as secure cloud storage. Of course, you can simply stream video to your smartphone or computer for free any time!Last updated:
Angee does not raise the alarm based on movement or noise alone. Angee creates a geofence for your house with the help of the security tags, which assesses whether someone has entered the property. However, you can set Angee to detect / react when your pet goes somewhere it shouldn't.Last updated:
Angee is portable, with 8 hours battery life, so it's great for using outdoors to monitor your kids or your pets, stream parties, sports events, anything really! But not permanently —the first version of Angee is not waterproof!Last updated:
Angee can be set to automatically detect when you are home, and not only can it deactivate the camera, but it can turn to face the wall. When you leave your home, Angee switches to armed mode and will be alert and ready to detect anything out of the ordinary.Last updated:
Angee is compatible with typical micro USB cables (like most smartphones), we don't want to use a proprietary cable, because we know how annoying/expensive it can be to replace cables.Last updated:
Using boosted Bluetooth technology, Angee is intended for use in smaller homes/apartments. However, it is possible to create a network using multiple devices and security tags to cover a larger home securely. Tests show perfect function in open space over 100 feet (30m).Last updated:
Absolutely! We will be developing it for both operating systems simultaneously, and you can access Angee through a web browser interface too!Last updated:
We will make additional security tags available from our website when Angee is released. These will be able to be ordered in advance for backers, so we can ship them along with your current backing reward!Last updated:
This is a feature we would love to add. It may not be possible, but we are looking into it! Stay tuned for updates.Last updated:
In open space our boosted bluetooth technology has a good signal at 100ft (30m). For larger houses, or houses where thick walls may be a problem, we recommend considering the backing tiers with multiple Angee units to form a network.Last updated:
Upon detecting an abnormal situation, Angee will send a notification to your smartphone giving you the option of viewing information about what is happening, or calling the relevant authorities.
We are considering a monitored/automated response to intrusions in the future, but currently they are not very appealing as typical response time is longer than the duration of a burglary anyway. A key benefit of Angee is collecting information about potential intruders, and acting as a deterrent.Last updated:
The first version of Angee is not intended to be attached to the wall or the ceiling, but it is a feature we would love to add for future versions.
Potentially you can custom mount Angee (securely) wherever you want, but heat will not dissipate so efficiently if Angee is not upright, so we cannot recommend it at this point, as it requires more testing to ensure it would work reliably in such a scenario.Last updated:
The development team (see the team section further up the page) is mostly from Prague, forming the core of an international team. The company was founded in the Czech Republic, but we are shifting our presence to North America as we feel it has the strongest customer base for tech products. Our new office is in San Francisco, and the company (Angee Inc.) is registered in the USA.Last updated:
Angee keeps persistent connection with the Cloud through the Internet (like a heartbeat signal). When this connection is interrupted, you are immediately alerted. You can imagine this as constantly asking the device "are you there?", as soon as there is no answer from the device, we know it is off-line. Moreover – Angee is the only system (compared to the main competitors – Piper, Nest, Canary) that monitors when the power is out. It not only has a built-in battery to continue operating but also 1.5GB of internal storage to store the video -- i.e. Piper has the battery but no local storage.Last updated:

Accept the Other as Yourself---Part 2
When will we stop the illusion of blaming the mirror for the image it reflects . . . for how we feel what we feel . . . for how we are experiencing our experience? The image in the mirror is not different and never separate from the object standing before it. We are the objects before the mirror of our experience. The observed and the observer are, in fact, one and we are always equal to our predicament. The motive and the motivation are — in fact — the same. If you are not experiencing yourself everywhere, where are you and what is it that you are experiencing? Where then can you possibly experience you if not everywhere? Believing you experience yourself in some places and moments and not in others is the pure cruelty of duality.
The only question possible when you desire a true relationship is . . . When is now a good time? . . . not . . . When will the right relationship show up? Ready, is a verb that acts through the actions of self-realization and then promotes the rite of a relationship to show up . . . not the right relationship.
Ask yourself — what is being placed before me — how do I experience myself in it? If you lack the attention to do this, you will only experience the tension . . . never the lesson. This is then not the mastery of life at all; it is the mystery of hell. To walk out of this hell is the journey of your struggle — the krya in your mirror.
To master this is a very advanced course of life — is it not? Are you "ready" for such a level of difficulty? If your desire is yes, then buckle up and get along with it. Creation will produce a miracle of illusions — but then, what else would you expect from an Infinite Source.
Accept the other as yourself and welcome it home to your Heaven on Earth. This introduces your mirroring facility of relationship; where, when you honor the other, you honor your highest self.

Autoimmune disease can be frustrating- fluctuating symptoms, ongoing fatigue, pain. The pharmaceuticals to treat autoimmune disease often have uncomfortable side effects. Rarely is the treatment holistic nor does it address the underlying causes of the illness.
At this next class I'll give an overview of the underlying causes of autoimmune conditions and next steps that you can take to start healing. The underlying causes are often in places that you might not suspect. Holistic medicine can offer solutions to your illness without the side effects of medications.
I work with many types of autoimmune conditions including: Hashimotos thyroiditis, Graves disease, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Sjogrens, Anklylosing Spondylitis, Ulcerative Colitis and Chrohn's disease.

Man killed, woman injured in Sumner County ATV accident
Sumner County officials are investigating an ATV accident that killed one person and left another seriously injured late Saturday.
The accident happened shortly after 11:15 p.m. Saturday at the Kansas Badlands near South Haven, according to Sumner County Deputy Tim Soule.
"Two subjects were operating a Polaris Razor when they attempted to jump a dirt hill," Soule said.
The ATV flipped over several times, pinning its occupants — a male driver and female passenger. Both were wearing seat belts, but neither wore helmets, Soule said.
Crews from the South Haven Fire Department used the Jaws of Life to free the two victims from the wreckage.
The driver of the vehicle was transported to the Wellington Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The passenger was flown by air ambulance to a Wichita hospital where she is listed in serious condition.
Although the accident is still under investigation, authorities believe alcohol may have been a contributing factor.
Names and ages of the victims have not been released, pending notification of family, Soule said.

"Failing to own a crisis is like walking away from an opportunity to show your character, resiliency and values," CFM President Gary Conkling advised a group of water agency officials. "You will be choosing a road other than the road to redemption."
Conkling was invited to be the keynote speaker at a meeting of the Pacific Northwest Chapter of American Waterworks Association. The meeting was centered on strategic communications by water agencies. The title of his talk was "Owning, Fixing and Talking About Your Crisis." "I honestly believe crisis response is that simple," Conkling said. "Unfortunately, it isn't that easy."
A leading crisis communications counselor, Conkling said it is hard to "fix a crisis you don't own." "An insufficient apology or an evasive explanation won't put a crisis to rest," he explained.
Owning a crisis involves acknowledging what happened, expressing an appropriate emotion, apologizing and providing relevant detail about why it happened and why it won't happen again, Conkling said. "Owning a crisis doesn't involve saying you have everything under control, telling people not to worry or urging people to trust you."
"By definition, a crisis means events are out of control," he said. "You can't stop people from worrying. Your words don't elicit trust. Only actions can do that."
Fixing a crisis relies on taking "demonstrable steps that show you own the crisis and are willing to deal with the root cause of the crisis."
Talking about your crisis response "is easier when you have something to say," Conkling said.
Sometimes it is smart, he said, to talk with stakeholders or neighbors before a crisis occurs. "People respect you for telling them what could happen," Conkling said. "The absence of an incident actually reinforces your trustworthiness. They assume the potential problem you discussed with them is being managed well."
"A crisis may uncover something you wished would have stayed hidden," he said. "But your crisis response can demonstrate your openness to owning a potential problem and addressing it responsibly."

Jenny Odell makes collages from Google Maps' satellite view mode, like the digital print entitled Every Basketball Court in Manhattan. She writes, "From this view, the lines that make up basketball courts… become like hieroglyphs that read: people were here."
There are at least 100 in this image. Still, there's no way she got them all. My favorite courts are somehow obscured. Some are partially hidden from view in chain-link rooftop domes. Others are concealed below the West Side Highway, so safe from the elements that you can play a pick-up game in a hurricane. And many are simple backboards in schoolyards without lines or marks.
But Odell is right about one thing: The court is a record. There are no written accounts or pick-up game historians. The physical court itself is the only proof we have of what happened there.

Doorstop - Berlin
Turnbull, Malcolm
Period of Service: 15/09/2015 to 24/08/2018
Release Date: 23/04/2018
Release Type: Transcript
Transcript ID: 41581
Subject(s): Export deals; Defence Industry; Australian jobs; Banks; Polls
Well, we're here in Berlin fighting for Australian jobs.
We need to have a free trade agreement with the European Union which provides the opportunity for more Australian exports to Europe and more investment, both in Australia and in Europe. We need to see a higher level of economic activity between the EU and Australia. Of course, Germany is at the heart of Europe and Angela Merkel, the Chancellor, who I will meet with tomorrow, is a very strong supporter of a high-quality free trade agreement with Australia.
Europe is our second-largest trading partner and the largest source of foreign direct investment, the European Union. So this is a really critical economic relationship.
It's also a very important strategic relationship. We've just been to the Ministry of Defence and met with the Defence Minister, with our Defence Minister Marise Payne, and we've seen the Boxer Combat Reconnaissance Vehicles that Rheinmetall is going to be building in Australia in partnership with so many Australian firms. I've just been talking to their Chief Executive about the jobs that are already being created in Australia in anticipation of this project going ahead, with the vehicles to be built in Ipswich, and how more and more Australian companies are going to find their way into the global supply chain for Rheinmetall's Combat Reconnaissance Vehicles.
So this is just one example of the partnership. Of course Lürssen, the shipbuilding firm, is going to be the prime contractor on building the Offshore Patrol Vessels, again built in Adelaide and then in Perth. Again, an example of our Defence Industry Plan, investment plan, delivering jobs and building a sovereign defence industry in Australia. A critical part of our economic growth and of our economic future.
So there's a lot to talk about here; vitally important. Trade creates jobs. The reason we're having strong jobs growth in Australia is in no small part due to the trade deals we've set up and the trade deals we're working on. Whether it's the Trans Pacific Partnership - which we've concluded as you know, it's an 11 country TPP - or the free trade agreement we're working on with the European Union, these are all absolutely critical for Australian jobs.
So a long way from home, but working hard to deliver more Australian jobs.
More Australian jobs is the key to our economic growth and our economic security.
Prime Minister, you were going to mention on your trip here, to the Europeans on their FTA that they have to lift the restrictive farm barriers. A) are you confident that can be achieved? And b) is there a timeframe when you'd like to see the European FTA concluded? I know they're dragging the chain a bit.
Well the European Union has a process and we're confident - the process is underway. We'd like to get the agreement concluded as soon as possible, plainly. But of course the EU is a complex organisation of many nations that have to develop a consensus and agreement around agreements of this kind.
But you know, as I've said to you all before, negotiating free trade agreements is a laborious business, but if you don't start and if you're not tenacious you won't get there.
Remember Bill Shorten's approach to the TPP? When Donald Trump pulled out Shorten said, "Give it away." He wanted to give it away. He wanted to abandon all those Australian jobs it'll create. He said I was delusional, persevering with it.
Well, I stuck with it, because I don't give up on Australian jobs. We stuck with it and now it's signed and other countries including the UK, where I've just been, are interested in joining.
Prime Minister, is it also strategically important to strike a free trade agreement with Europe to set the road rules for the world?
We think it's very important to have high-quality free trade agreements - and I'll be talking about this tomorrow - which set the rules for investment and for trade, which eliminate behind-the-border barriers to trade. So they don't just cut tariffs, but they also remove other barriers.
Because if you set the rules for the road, if you establish and maintain the rule of law consistently, you will get not just more trade, but more investment. I mean the biggest barrier to investment, foreign investment around the world, in most countries, is concern about the rule of law. So the more you can set the rules of the road, as you've described it, Chris, then you'll get more investment. That's one of the reasons Australia sees so much foreign direct investment; because people are satisfied that if they invest in Australia, there is a legal system there that protects their investment.
Prime Minister, your Minister Kelly O'Dwyer has had some trouble explaining why the Government resisted a Royal Commission into the banks for so long. Can you now explain that, given what we've seen over the last week?
Well, sure. Look, about two years ago - in fact on April the 6th, 2016 - I gave a speech in Sydney at a function of Westpac's in which I called out the unacceptable behaviour of the banks. I talked about how there had been a failure to put customers first and that the culture of the financial services sector was not delivering on their fundamental fiduciary obligation to put the customers first. They operate with a social license and they have an obligation to do that. Now, I called that out.
I made the decision not to proceed with a Royal Commission and look politically, of course, you're all right when you say it would have been better for us politically if we'd done so years ago, or several years ago. No doubt Bill Shorten should have called a Royal Commission when he was Financial Services Minister in the Labor Government. But the reason I didn't proceed with a Royal Commission is this: I wanted to make sure that we took the steps to reform immediately and got on with the job. My concern was that a Royal Commission would go for several years – that's generally been the experience – and people would then say, "Oh you can't reform, you can't legislate, you've got to wait for the Royal Commissioner's report." You know, that's exactly what everyone would have said. So, if we'd started a Royal Commission two years ago, maybe it would be finishing up now and then we'd be considering the recommendations. Isn't it better, with the benefit of hindsight and recognising you can't live your life backwards, isn't it better that we've got on with all of those reforms?
We've strengthened ASIC.
We've created a one-stop-shop for consumer complaints against banks and other financial institutions.
We've strengthened penalties.
We've got them turning up the House Economics Committee to be accountable.
We've changed the law so that bank executives are accountable.
There's been a huge change of reform and now we have a Royal Commission which has got much wider terms of reference than it would have had if it had been set up two years ago.
But along the way, you bagged the idea of a Royal Commission. Was that a mistake?
No, but hang on. What we've done is we've now got a Royal Commission with wider terms of reference than it would have had two years ago and the ability - and in fact the obligation under the terms of reference - to consider the reforms we've put in place and then give us advice as to whether or how they can be improved. So politically, all of the political commentators are right when they say politically, we would have been better off setting one up earlier. But as it's turned out, I think we've put customers first, we've put substantial reform first and we've got a lot of legislation and reform passed already. It's law that would not have been able to have been done if a Royal Commission had been started two years ago.
Hang on, okay? We'll go to you and then to Dennis.
One of your other arguments at the time and has been, was that the financial cost to the banks themselves and their international reputation and their reputation in general would be harmed by going to a Royal Commission. Given what's progressed, do you still hold that view? That was the argument by yourself and Scott Morrison.
Well, no, the argument I put was that we knew what the problem was and frankly, we do. I mean some of the evidence is shocking before the Royal Commission but it is all consistent with the problem I identified two years ago, which is that the culture of the banks and other financial institutions has deteriorated far too frequently, in a way that does not put customers first.
You see, the banks have – and other financial advisers and insurance companies and so forth – they all operate in a trusted relationship. Typically they're dealing with customers who are not financial wizards and certainly don't have the same level of knowledge and information that the bank does or that the financial institution does. So the obligation to put the customer first is enormous. It's preeminent and that's what I said two years ago. Now my assessment was that the Government needed to take action and get on with the job of reform immediately and that's what we've done. Now, I understand when you're writing the political criticisms you'll say the Government would have had less political grief if it'd set up a Royal Commission two years ago, you're right. You're right about that clearly with the benefit of hindsight. Having said that, you have to ask yourself, would we have been able to get all of the reforms done? Because everyone would have said - particularly the banks by the way - they would have said, "Oh you've got to wait until the Royal Commission delivers it's report." So whichever way you want to analyse it, you can't live your life backwards.
We've got some very big reforms in place. The Royal Commission is underway. It's got very wide terms of reference. I might say, they're a bit wider than Bill Shorten thinks they are.
Well he's written to you now Prime Minister…
We wrote me a letter. Well, he wrote it to you actually. He always gives his letters to the media first, he sends me a copy of them, of his letter to you.
In his letter, he says that the Royal Commission should pay attention to the importance of recompense, ensuring that customers who have had the wrong thing done are properly recompensed. Well you know what? That is a good suggestion, but it's already in the terms of reference.
So I think what Bill should do is that he should read the terms of reference.
Of course you remember that great occasion when he went on Neil Mitchell and Mitchell said to him, "So you want a Royal Commission, what would the terms of reference be?"
He was honest enough to say that he'd just been thinking about it in a taxi on the way to the radio station and had noted a few things down on the back on envelope.
But Prime Minister on this issue, doesn't the scandal that we've seen about banks show that in the end Bill Shorten actually got the judgment right on that, by calling for the Royal Commission? Now you've had a lot of criticism of his judgment over time but didn't he call it on the banks?
David, you write the political commentary. I made the call - and I take responsibility for making the call - to put action and reform and legislation first. Clearly a Royal Commission is an inquiry, okay? It shines a big light on whatever it's subject of investigation is. Clearly that's what it's doing at the moment and there's great force in that.
But equally, at the end of the day you've got to change the rules. You've got to do something that will go forever, because no Royal Commission can go forever. A Royal Commission cannot compensate somebody. It can't send someone to jail. It can't fine anybody. So you have to change the law. The choice that we made was to put customers right at the forefront of our focus and say, "Right, we know what the problem is." We don't know every case of wrongdoing and we never will, let's be frank, the Royal Commissioner has made that point. But what we did know, was that banks and other financial institutions had not been putting customers first. I spoke about that very plainly two years ago.
So the course of action I followed was the one of substantive reform, to get on with that job. My concern was that if we'd set up a Royal Commission, frankly it would have simply delayed by several years, the type of reforms that we're undertaking now.
On another subject, because that's been pretty well ventilated…
Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment.
So you should. So, the polls are looking better. Are you back on track?
Well look, the political contest in Australia is very close. We're focussed on delivering for the Australian people, delivering jobs. Here in Germany, focused on the European Union-Australia free trade agreement. My job is to deliver on the commitment I made of jobs and growth. Strong economic growth and the jobs that enable everyone to realise their dreams and for their children and grandchildren to get ahead.
We have record jobs growth in Australia and it is because our economic plan is working. You know, I said it many times in the 2016 election campaign, but that economic plan is working. That's why we're seeing the strong jobs growth in Australia and trade is part of it. There are a lot of trade deals, some of them massive, some of them smaller, but every single one of them adds to the opportunities for Australians to get ahead.
And you know, the more level the playing field is, the better Australians will be able to compete.
Just on the question of compensation, Pauline Hanson has suggested the banks not get a corporate tax cut and the money be set aside to compensate victims of wrongdoing. What do you think of that idea and is this a threat to your legislation?
Look, where banks have done the wrong thing, they must pay compensation. There's no question about that, Dennis.
We've set up a new one-stop-shop, a financial complaints authority which is going to be able to deal with that. We are determined to ensure that where people have been wronged, that they are able to get compensation and able to do it in an efficient way. Now, that's the type of reform that we've been able to implement and legislate.
So you see, there is no suggestion, no one could suggest that I have been anything other than very, very clear-eyed about what's gone wrong in the Australian financial services sector. It is very simply this: that they were not putting their customers first. That's required a number of changes, legislation, regulation and others. We've got on and done that and there's more in the pipeline.
We now have a Royal Commission and we will get some very good insights from the Royal Commissioner both into the state of affairs in the financial services industry and we'll get advice on the reforms we've already put in place and how they can be improved.
We look forward to that advice and I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
Thank you all very much.

Bull Canyon: A Boatbuilder, a Writer and Other Wildlife
Lin Pardey
Paradise Cay, 2011 (2011)
Hardcover, e-Book
Reviewed by Mary Ann Smyth
f ever two people were meant for each other, Lin and Larry Pardey are that couple. Together they have sailed more than 200,000 miles. They make New Zealand their home base, cruising on board their 29-foot sailboat Taleisin a part of each year.
ull Canyon
is the story of Lin and Larry building Taleisin, a brand new 29-foot sailboat sixty miles from the sea and fifty miles from Los Angeles in a rocky outcropping known as Bull Canyon!
ith them, while the boat turns from planks of wood to a seaworthy vessel, we meet their neighbors in the canyon and get caught up with the problems that can arise living without a phone, running water or electricity. Using a generator to power his tools, Larry sticks to his plans and know-how while Lin, helping when possible, (which is more than you can imagine) concentrates on her writing to bring income to their venture.
in is the author of ten books and too many articles to count on their sailing expertise and experiences. I admired their dedication and self-discipline to accomplish their dream in the time period they had given themselves.
delighted in their neighbors and their make-do attitude. Also their problem-solving skills. How the Pardeys managed the amount of company they had boggles the mind.
hey swore they would not take on any pets as it would be too hard to leave them behind when they took back to the sea. Somehow, they acquired both a cat named Dog and a loving and gentle dog that they convinced everyone was a guard dog.
ull Canyon
is an extremely delightful book that allowed me (for the time it took to read it) to feel a part of the authors' venture. And to feel good about that. A great summer read. Don't miss it.

These licensees are giving their customers the chance to grow veg on their land – on the proviso that they share some of the goods.
Jodie Phillips and Neil Barku, of The Queens Arms in Breage, Cornwall, have invited locals to use their spare land as allotments. Users will pay a nominal £1 a year to rent a plot and have been asked to share 10 per cent of whatever they grow with the pub.
They are also running a monthly farmer's market on the field next door. They have been working with Pub is the Hub to get the scheme off the ground.
Jodie said: "We wanted to do something like this for the community so the monthly farmers' markets gives local farmers, artists and craft suppliers another sales outlet as well as an enjoyable afternoon out for visitors while our allotment plots feel like a great way to do something for our local residents."
Reg Clarke, the regional advisor from Pub is The Hub, added: "Jodie and Neil have worked hard to appeal to local customers as well as visitors and this scheme is an ideal way to make the most of space that they already have at the pub. I love the idea that the produce from allotments will make its way onto the pub menu."

Hello--My 36 years with MS (and no injectables) has given me some ideas which may or may not help another. When I was around 45, I learned about PremPro, which resulted in NO periods. It's gotten a bad rap in recent years, but there must be something else these days that accomplishes the same end.

The Melanoma Research Alliance (MRA) recently announced the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) granted approval for the use of Imlygic, an immunotherapy drug manufactured by Amgens, for use as a local melanoma treatment. Professionals prescribe Imlygic in order to treat affected areas on the skin and lymph nodes when melanoma has recurred after surgery.
Imlygic -- also known as T-VEC, from talimogene laherparepvec -- was developed to destroy cancer cells. It is the only therapy of its kind to be approved by the FDA. It is injected into tumors. Not only does it kill the tumor cells; it releases GM-CSF, an agent that stimulates the immune system.
This is the 10th new melanoma therapy approved by the FDA over the last five years, a milestone Dr. Robin Davisson, MRA's president and CEO-elect, called "a truly unprecedented rate of progress."
Studies are ongoing to evaluate T-VEC in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
"The FDA's approval of another new immunotherapy drug is an important step forward in our fight against cancer, which still has a long way to go," Debra Black, MRA co-founder and chair of the board, said. "We must continue to push the boundaries of scientific discovery to one day end death and suffering caused by melanoma."
MRA is a public charity that was founded in 2007 by the Milken Institute and funded by Debra and Leon Black. To date, it has provided nearly $68 million to melanoma research programs.

The Tuesday List: Where That Monkey Money from That Monkey Selfie Should Go
Six or so years ago, photographer David Slater set up a camera to enable monkeys to take selfies. One no doubt millennial monkey by the name of Naruto stepped up and did the damn thing, snapping the pic above that I have posted without attribution because, well, you'll see.
David Slater thought, correctly, "This is a great picture. I be the world might like to see it," and thus shared it with the world. The picture proved quite popular—Naruto is a natural, so it only makes sense—and the picture spread and with it Slater's coffers were enriched.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) could not let this stand. After all the art was Naruto's, not Slater's. Slater was, in the parlance of our time, a low-down dirty thief. So they sued on behalf of Naruto. The court initially ruled that as Naruto was a monkey and not a human being, he had no standing regarding trademarks. PETA appealed.
Slater, no doubt overwhelmed with guilt over the horrible horrible thing he had done, finally gave in last week and settled. He will give over 25% of the profits he makes off the photo to charities dedicated to protecting the natural habitats of Naruto's primate brothers and sisters.
This is nonsense. That money is Naruto's, not some foundations. Slater should be paying it direct.
And once the photographer does the REAL right thing, I'm here to help Naruto decide how to spend it smartly.
10 Ways Naruto MUST Spend The Cash From His Art
1.) Bananas- I, like all right thinking people, think bananas are a whole lot of gross masquerading as "high in potassium" as though that's supposed to make it ok how gross they are. That said, monkeys of all kinds just go ape for the yellow tubes. Naruto deserves to have a little fun with his money and indulge that potassium (?) tooth.
2.) A low risk investment portfolio- Is tempting when you come into some cash to imagine the well will never run dry. Alas, that is not how life tends to work. It is only a matter of time before a sloth films herself dabbing or whatever and then no one is gonna care about Naruto's selfie. Time to invest now and save some money for the rainy days to come.
3.) Charitable donations- Naruto's art is a gift, it is only right he pay it forward. Might I suggest he donate it to the Kansas City chapter of the Susan Komen Foundation. It'd just be a classy thing to do. PLUS! TAX WRITE OFF! BONUS!
4.) Take a trip- Too often the newly rich focus on the acquisition of goods when the acquisition of experiences is so much more rewarding. Naruto ought to hop a plane and see the world. Why not start with the world's smallest natural waterfall, you adorably rich money you!
5.) New threads- There will be gallery openings, talk show appearances, perhaps an award show appearance or two. Naruto should dress the part. Remember, my lower primate cousin, no pleats. No one needs extra fabric like that.
6.) A management team- Yes, Bill Murray does it without a team and just a phone number and answering machine. You aren't Bill Murray Naruto! Don't get cocky. Recruit yourself a team to help you out, look out for your best interests, and get you some exciting new opportunities. Don't try to do it all yourself. Tom Cruise did that briefly and people still are saying he jumped up and down on Oprah or something. And Tom Cruise is America's Greatest Living Movie Star. Again, Naruto, you are no Tom Cruise or Bill Murray. Swallow your pride and hire a team.
7.) Date Taylor Swift- She seems delightful, right? And how cool is it to know you might be the subject of one OR MORE of her smash songs? Answer: very cool.
8.) Buy some property- No need to go all out, but it'll just be nice to have a place you can call all your own that you can escape to to collect your thoughts and create more art.
9.) Start a car dealership- Football players do this all the time. It's nice to have a second source of income that you can largely set and forget.
10.) Buy a professional lacrosse team- They are fairly inexpensive, as football becomes increasingly marginalized due to the concerns about head injuries lacrosse will only rise in popularity, and there's nothing in the rules that says monkeys can't be owner/managers of a professional lacrosse franchise.

4Sight helps ensure nature can flourish in an important location
Te Auaunga Oakley Creek is a scenic watercourse that holds social, cultural and biological importance within Auckland as a home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, both native and exotic. But help is needed to restore and enhance the riparian ecology as it is under threat from the spread of invasive weeds, which suppress and prevent the regeneration of native flora. Our work has included:
Helping renew an archaeological authority permit to continue ecological restoration.
Identifying the need for resource consent because of a plethora of rule infringements under the operative district plan, the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan and National Environmental Standards.
Engaging with iwi, Friends of Oakley Creek and local council to devise a collaborative solution.
4Sight recommended a programme of consultation with iwi, which eventually developed into a partnership that allowed Mana Whenua to exercise kaitiakitanga over the awa.
Working collaboratively with Ngāti Whātua o Ōrākei, Ngāi Tai Ki Tāmaki and Te Kawerau a Maki, 4Sight drafted a Cultural Monitoring Programme named Ngā Aratohu o Ngā Kaiaroturuki (Cultural Monitoring Guidelines) that facilitated the opportunity for those iwi groups to manage the environment and provide Mātauranga Māori (i.e. traditional knowledge, wisdom, understanding or skill).
4Sight also:
Developed GIS maps for the project team locating known archaeological and contaminated sites,
Developed a soil handling plan to mitigate the risk of exposure to contamination during works,
Designed guidance sheets to help contractors and volunteers identify archaeological remains, as well as protocols to follow, should further archaeological sites be encountered.
The application for resource consent was accepted and processed without any formal request for further information (i.e. Section 92 requests) and was granted in June 2016. The Archaeological Authority to Modify was finalised a week earlier at the end of May 2016.
Weed control and planting works are back underway, and we look forward to seeing the continued enhancements at Te Auaunga Oakley Creek over the next ten years.

Now Is the Time
There lies deep within the human heart — yours, mine, and everyone else's — a vision and desire for how life is supposed to be lived; images of connection without coercion, dreams of enough without competition, hunger for community without uniformity, thirst for intimacy without betrayal, hope for understanding without judgment, longing for love without condition. All this is within us; divine spark planted before we were born. There is but one impediment to our bringing this vision to life: fear. Fear is a liar. That is why so many stories of divine encounter begin with the holy plea, "Fear not!" Now is the time for us to live from a deep place; to rise up to the grace for which we were created. Now is the time for hope to reveal the strong roots she has sunk in communities of faith, to nourish our courage…

I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting today's stop on The Reading Group blog tour. I love the concept of this – each ebook novella focuses on one of the five women who are part of a reading group and the classic novel they are reading that month reflects what is happening in their lives. Della has created a modern version of each classic within each story. So without further ado I will share my review of each of the first three novella's in the story and introduce you to the characters…
What's The Reading Group About?
Meet the Reading Group: six women in the seaside village of Little Sanderton come together every month to share their love of reading. No topic is off limits: books, family, love and loss…and don't forget the glass of red!
The Reading Group Book 1 – December
Grace knows that the holiday season is going to be different this year. No turkey, no tinsel, no gorgeously wrapped gifts under the tree…how on earth is going to break it to her little boys that Christmas is effectively cancelled? And can she bear to tell anyone her embarrassing secret? Enter the Reading Group: Grace's life might have turned upside down but there's no problem they can't solve.
Number of pages – 17
My Thoughts
In this first instalment we meet Grace an the Reading Group's book of the month is A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
Grace is married with triplet son's and she is currently going through a difficult time financially and personally as one of her sons has cancer. Like Ebenezer Scrooge, she has no choice but to cancel Christmas this year.
This is the shortest in the series and Della has effectively, in a few pages, created the setting and introduced the characters and the dynamics between them. I couldn't wait to get reading the next novella in the series.
A story about not keeping your problems to yourself and the power of friendship, Grace learns to open up about her problems and discovers she is not alone and Christmas may end up being magical rather like at the end of A Christmas Carol.

The Reading Group Book 2 – January
Anne-Marie has always considered herself a bit of a matchmaker – never mod that she's only go one real success under her belt. And this year she's determined to up her game: Little Sanderton's singles could certainly benefit from her expertise!
But while Anne Marie thinks she knows what's best for everyone else, her own life couldn't be less of a fairytale romance. Between looking after her cranky father, and running her own business, she doesn't have tome for a relationship. Her friends in the Reading Group know better through: after all, love can be found in the most unexpected places…
This January the Reading Group is tackling Jane Austen's Emma…but who's got time for reading when romance is in the air?
Number of pages – 95
My Thoughts
In January the Reading Group are reading Jane Austen's Emma and the story centres around Anne Marie.
Again Della has brilliantly crafted a modern version of a classic as we follow Anne Marie setting up her dating agency with disastrous results. This is a really feel-good novella that had me laughing out loud (and getting strange looks from my husband!).
Despite Anne Marie having quite a privileged life – her father is successful and ensures she doesn't want for anything – she is very likeable and has a kind heart. Despite the brevity of the book Della really gets you to the heart of the character and the setting and it felt like spending time with a friend. I got totally wrapped up with Anne Marie and her story and this was a really delightful read. I finished the book looking forward to reading the next instalment.
Published 1st December 2016 by Quercus. Price: 99p.
The Reading Group Book 3 – February
Kate has tried to be a good wife to Anton. Ever since he got demoted at work – answering to a woman no less – Anton simply hasn't been the same. Kate wants to help, but as the months pass and Anton pulls away from her both emotionally and physically, Kate can't help but feel a bit abandoned.
Then Kate meets Bob: the handsome, blue-eyed carpenter that Anton has hired to refurbish their kitchen. Kate instantly feels a powerful physical connection between them…but dare she risk her marriage for a man she barely knows?
This month the Reading Group is enjoying Lady Chatterley's Lover…and trying no to giggle too much at the naughty parts!
Number of pages – 95
My Thoughts
In February the Reading Group are reading Lady Chatterley's Lover by DH Lawrence and the story centres around Kate.
Kate's intimate relationship with her husband has taken a downward turn since he was demoted at work. When Bob the builder (no not THAT Bob the builder!!!) turns up to re-model their kitchen Kate cannot help but be attracted to him. As her long held beliefs on love are challenged, Kate struggles to keep her marriage going and discovers that what she thought was love may not be in fact the case.
The similarities between Lady Chatterley's Lover are all there – the difficulties in the intimate side of Kate's marriage, the class differences and hope that true love can conquer all. This instalment of The Reading Group moved me as Kate struggles to understand her feelings and worries about her marriage. Despite the themes of infidelity and the breakdown of a relationship, Della has again managed to incorporate delicious bites of humour that all adds to fully immerse the reader into the story and makes it a really enjoyable read.
The characterisation is great and by this book I felt as much a part of the reading group as the people I had been reading about. I really loved finding out more about the different members of the group and getting to know them on a personal level.
This is a great series – fantastic if you want a light, humorous read and I love the concept of the stories mirroring those of classic novels. While I love a classic novel they are not for everyone and this series is a great way for people to access those timeless stories who may otherwise may not read the originals. I'm really looking forward to the next novella in the series.
So, grab a cuppa and some cake, turn off your phone, get cosy and spend an afternoon with The Reading Group.
Published on ebook 1 December 2016 by Quercus. Price 99p.
I adored the first three books in this series. Della has created wonderful characters that you can identify with and her writing totally immerses you into each individual story. While they include serious issues for each character, Della adds humour throughout that makes each story more enjoyable. A huge thank you to Della Parker and Alainna at Quesrcus for inviting me to be part of this blog tour and for the copies of the first three books.
Introducing The Characters
Grace (December)
Grace has five-year-old triplets, serious money problems and a husband who doesn't do stress very well. In another life she would have been an artist.
'Yes. Scrooge is a bit close to home. I thought…well I thought I could blag it through tonight. But I can't.'
Anne Marie (January)
At just twenty-one, Anne Marie is the baby of the group. Blonde and bubbly, she has a penchant for organizing (she thinks). Less charitable people would call it meddling.
'I'm going into the matchmaking arena. I shall run speed-dating events in the village. There are plenty of singletons in Little Sanderton. How hard can it be?'
Kate (February)
Beautiful Kate, who has no idea how attractive she is, builds websites for corporate clients and longs for a family.
'Love is just how I thought it would be. I'm just not interested in other men any more.'
Jojo (March)
Jojo is the matriarch of the group. She worries about her size and wishes she had more self-esteem. Sometimes she feels like she needs these women a lot more than they need her.
'Step One of my Three Step Feeling Better Plan is to eat cake. I think we've done Step One, haven't we, Angel?'
Serena (April)
Headmistress Serena is bossy, wears owlish glasses, loves literature, and freely admits that she calls everyone 'dear' to save remembering their names.
'Is anyone listening to me? How about if I say sex. Yep, that's right. Sex, sex and more sex. Sex glorious sex!'

Zhi Zi | 栀子/
Zhi zi, also called gardenia fruit, is really the seed pod of Gardenia jasminoides. It's a really uniquely shaped and orange-red colored fruit that doesn't really have an aroma. Its flavor is bitter and it is cold in temperature. Because it's really hard to dry the fruits in the sun without loosing their brilliant color, they are briefly scalded in boiling water or steamed, then dried. They are usually processed in the fall, when the fruits mature, and dried in shady areas with good airflow.
Zhi zi is used in Chinese herbalism to clear heat, move damp heat and break up accumulations. It's especially useful externally when there is heat, swelling and other signs of Qi and Blood stagnation and is commonly used externally in conjunction with herbs like Da huang (Chinese rhubarb root) and Pu gong ying (dandelion!!). When combined, the actions of clearing heat are augmented and blood can be more easily moved through an area that's experienced trauma – thus reducing tissue damage from stagnation and aiding in decreasing healing time.
These 3 herbs can be found in our Herbal Ice, where they are also combined with 3 other herbs that powerfully clear heat to reduce swelling, alleviate pain and reduce the impact of trauma on our bodies.
Herbal Ice is our version of icing injuries!! It's our go to when we sprain our ankles, tear things that shouldn't be torn, and get minor musculoskeletal injuries that result in swollen hot areas. It's super easy to use, light enough to carry in most hiking bags or gym bags, and a great way to quickly deal with injuries when they happen. You can refer to an earlier blog post about how to use Herbal Ice if you're interested!
Needless to say, Zhi zi is one of my favorite herbs (haha, I think I say that about every herb!!!) with regards to it's effectiveness and ability to help with a broad range of conditions. It can also be found in our Trauma Liniment and Burn Cream (two other great botanicals for clearing heat and helping with first stage trauma!).

Revv launches first car subscription platform 'Switch'
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
New Delhi [India], May 19 (ANI): Shared mobility platform Revv on Friday announced the launch of first multi-brand car subscription platform Switch to enable users to subscribe to vehicle on annual or monthly basis, instead of buying or renting it. A unique service that lets users subscribe to a car, Switch is designed to be flexible with features including subscription for users as per their needs. Easy switch off whenever required. It allows users to switch between car models, e.g. using a hatchback for daily purpose, and an SUV for vacations. However, the user can maintain and use his subscription across cities. The annual subscription starts at Rs. 22,000 per month. Unlike the down-payment that is required while buying the car (often 10-30 percent of the car's price), there is no large upfront expense involved. Insurance and maintenance are also included, to make it hassle-free. "The users will have ample choice, with seven different pricing plans covering 14 car models. This will include MUVs, SUVs, cross-overs, sedans and hatchbacks. The plans can cater to varied budgets and requirements," said co-founders Anupam Agarwal and Karan Jain. With presence in nine cities, Revv offers users: -travelling professionals can subscribe for the few months when they are in town -a family can subscribe during summer vacations, or during their kids' examinations, or for any medical situations that may need regular support -a group of friends can share the subscription and split costs. With two people sharing, it comes to just around Rs. 450 per day for each. And they can drive a different car every month -corporates can provide it to their mobile employees (e.g., people on outstation projects, expats), or as part of their employee perks and engagement, at 50 to 60 percent lower cost than traditional car rentals -prospective car buyers can test out multiple car models before committing to one Adding to this, both Anupam and Karan believe that the company has grown 150 percent in the last six months, and is aiming heights as it is increasing its fleet by another 30 percent for Switch. "We believe there is large unmet demand for a service like this. It addresses a large gap that has been left open by traditional car ownership, and can shape entirely new consumer habits," they added. (ANI)
