Rejoinder: In Defense of a Relationship with the Christian Right
In response to Mr. Kopel's article, "Rabbi Dr. Meir Soloveichik, Yeshiva University, and the Jews," [i] I must take issue with a litany of points he makes with regard to the American political-religious landscape and how it relates specifically to the Jewish community. While I cannot comment on the "Christian-centric"[ii] nature of R. Dr. Soloveichik's public speaking engagements, I find Mr. Kopel's overall characterization of both the "Christian Right" and American Jewry as considerably detached from reality. The argument contains both broad generalizations as well as misconceptions with regard to the fundamental views of both groups. It is this flawed understanding that may lead Mr. Kopel, as well as many others, to bemoan the political alliances Orthodox Jews are forging with factions historically hostile to their own parents and grandparents.
Let us start with the so-called "Christian Right." Mr. Kopel's argument rests on the repeated assumption that, in contrast with Jews, this group tries to "impose its values" on American society "to ensure that society and government abide by Christian morals."[iii] Heaven forbid, Christians "speak about God to [their] neighbors" and may even "try to convince [someone] of His presence and role in worldly matters."[iv] As an aside, being a religious Jew, I cannot really find anything wrong with having more people recognize God and see His hand in their lives (we even pray for it every day in Aleinu). Moreover, Mr. Kopel asserts that Christians are pre-occupied with the "nistar" (the hidden), and "perceive transcendentally that which [they] see around [them]."[v] Taken together, these characterizations of the Christian Right represent a false impression, promulgated precisely by those who lack familiarity with actual members of this group. The numerous charges Mr. Kopel levels ring untrue in light of the contact I have been privileged to have with members of this much-maligned voting bloc.
For almost all of my life, I have lived in the Deep South (Georgia), where most of my interactions with gentiles were specifically with conservative, religious Christians. My personal dealings with these wonderful people have shown me a slightly different perspective regarding those whom the media often portray as Tea Party radicals. A Salvation Army family has been our neighbors for over a decade. This past summer, I volunteered at the Good Samaritan Health Center (an overtly Christian non-profit organization), where they practice daily devotion[vi] sessions and pray for patients at bedsides. The Intown Community Church (Presbyterian) across the street from the Young Israel I attend has always been most gracious to us (even letting us park in their lot every day except for Sunday). Some of our teachers in high school were classic Southern Baptists who spoke with a drawl and wore crosses around their necks. Not once did anyone try to preach anything to me or convince me to adopt particular political positions on any sensitive subject. All I experienced were cordial people who took their commitment to religion seriously, and respected me for doing the same. To say that they are not "this-worldly enough"[vii] largely ignores all of the charitable causes Christians have undertaken and advanced. It has been shown that in America, religious participation is the single most important factor in determining the level of personal charitable giving.[viii] Practicing, religious Christians consistently volunteer more of their time and resources to bettering the societies around them.[ix]
Perhaps by "imposing values"[x] Mr. Kopel refers to the Christian Right's political activism concerning social issues such as abortion, gay marriage, and the death penalty. Personally, I see it completely within reason to use religious sentiments to inform one's sense of morality, which in turn dictates one's political views. Doing so should not automatically be considered an attempt to shove one's religion down other people's throats. If political positions are not to be based, at least partially, on one's own moral sensibilities (which may be shaped by religion), then what are they to be based on? Take gay marriage as an example. Many of the states that have voted on the issue have voted to maintain the "traditional" definition of the word "marriage," even those that have granted couples with same-sex unions the same, full legal rights as married couples have. Activists, unsatisfied with mere equality in the legal arena, have tried to go further and fully re-define the word "marriage." The aforementioned voters who have altogether rejected such advances view the attempt by courts and activists to re-define the word "marriage" as an imposition on them. They see it as coercing communities to abandon an age-old definition, one that has held true in venerable, moral societies both religious and secular. To them, their vote is an attempt to defend longstanding social and religious institutions in the face of mounting pressure from the wave of secularization taking hold of the country. This shifting of perspectives to see where the other side is coming from can be done with regard to almost any social issue. Now, I am not at all arguing that as Jews we should align ourselves with particular Christian positions, nor am I judging the merits of Christian stances on any social issue. Rather, we must recognize that these individuals harbor deep moral sentiments that inform their vote, but that vote is not, in their own view, an attempt to "impose religious values"[xi] on society. It would be foolish to suspect that the Christian Right's political motivation is to convert America into some Puritan utopia in which everyone adopts the fundamental tenets of Christianity. The sense I have gotten from my interactions with members of the so-called "Christian Right" runs contrary to Mr. Kopel's portrayal of the motivations he attributes to them.
I now turn to Mr. Kopel's analysis of the Jewish perspective on the issue. His first assumption is that Jews have not "tried to preach their religious values to the general public" or "impose [their] values or laws"[xii] on society. For my part, I have noticed a great deal of preaching coming from Jewish figures in the last few decades, mainly focusing on one theme: tikkun olam. As author Norman Podhoretz explains, Jews whose ritual observance has declined commonly supplant their concept of Judaism with modern-day liberalism and its ideals.[xiii] Incidentally, this has coincided with the uprooting of tikkun olam from its original, Tannaitic context[xiv] and taking it to mean something approximating the current social justice and humanitarian aid movements. Of course, this is not to say that Judaism does not believe in bettering society or in assisting those who need our help the most. Rather, the particular focus and means with which these goals are pursued are what many Jews have brought under the mantle of their religious values, much to the chagrin of some of their brethren. American Jews have indeed preached their values in recent times, but, having replaced traditional Jewish ideals with those of contemporary liberalism, it is only tikkun olam and the like that have been broadcasted to the wider society. This also explains why for the "last four decades the majority of Jews in this country have voted with their liberal principles,"[xv] an obvious outcome considering their choice of values with which to fill a religious void.
The article goes on to state that American Jews are "too concerned with the nigleh,"[xvi] which Mr. Kopel somewhat arbitrarily defines as a pregnant woman who wants an abortion or a death row inmate seeking a pardon. Mr. Kopel characterizes Jews as being "more attentive to the terrified pregnant woman than to her unborn fetus and more concerned with the death row inmate than with the biblical sense of capital justice that put him or her there."[xvii] In this assertion, he is admittedly motivated by the statistic that a majority of Jews feel this way.[xviii] But why conflate Jews with Judaism? Is it true that Judaism has nothing to say in defense of the more "conservative" sides of the two sensitive issues that Mr. Kopel raises? For one, the Talmud surely places value in the unborn fetus[xix] and the positive merits of capital punishment.[xx] What a majority of American Jews think has absolutely no bearing on the objective characterization of Judaism's position, especially given the modern-day transformation of religious ideals delineated above. In fact, Halakhah is clearly much more nuanced than that, and cannot often be said to support any one side of a political debate. I wholeheartedly believe that those on the right or the left who try to bend the Torah to support their own political agenda are committing a grave error. That being said, Mr. Kopel's strong implication that Judaism is plainly at odds with the totality of values embraced by the Christian Right seems at best questionable, at worst downright wrong.
While I admire Mr. Kopel's concern for fellow Jews who may not share our level of commitment, I fully understand the increasing tendency of observant Jews to politically associate with religious Christians rather than with their Jewish brethren. In the current cultural landscape, where many perceive traditional religious values to be objects of attack and ridicule from the increasingly secular left (especially as transmitted by the media), it is entirely sensible for Orthodox Jews to align themselves with the Christian Right. They see in this group committed individuals who will fight to defend values they too believe in, as both factions possess deep-seated, moral convictions stemming from their religious commitments. However, as was shown above, this in no way represents an effort by observant Jews to impose their own religious values (in this case, Halakhah) on society. Conversely, in their non-observant co-religionists, they see a movement that has distorted a cherished tradition to embody "liberal" principles either unrelated to or at odds with customary Jewish ideals.[xxi] This may sound harsh, but I think it explains the current trend of Orthodox Jews becoming more and more politically aligned with right-wing, religious Christians than with other Jews.
As Mr. Kopel states so eloquently, it is imperative that we maintain constant dialogue with Jews of other denominations to reach a consensus about the moral values we adhere to and the policy initiatives we support. Nonetheless, I wholly recognize and appreciate the political association of observant Jews with the Christian Right, so long as they do not tout Halakhah as the impetus for doing so. There is nothing wrong with political allegiances shifting over time as the ever-changing cultural backdrop in America presents fresh challenges to those who hold steadfast to their religious beliefs. Mr. Kopel presumes that we must identify with the political values of our people by virtue of their being our people, a view I consider both erroneous and imprudent. On the other hand, broadly adopting the positions of the Christian Right runs the risk of gradually causing us to discount the voices emanating from amongst our own. The values that drive us to espouse certain political views must never blind us to the fact that we will always have a special relationship with aheinu kol beit Yisrael, each and every member of the Jewish people.

Ultra-modern black wall forces skinny home rethink by city council
Edmonton councillors voted to re-examine how the city regulates the design of infill going into Edmonton's stable, postwar neighbourhoods Wednesday.
"Build nice stuff that fits in. Don't build Darth Vader architecture that's polarizing," said Ward 10 Coun. Michael Walters, leading the change in approach after being shocked by a 8.9-metre-high black wall now confronting one homeowner in the neighbourhood of Lansdowne.
"Any redevelopment at all that happens in a fairly stable mature neighbourhood should make an effort to respect the context and fit into that neighbourhood," he said, before the motion at council's urban planning committee. Councillors will get a report from administration with options to regulate design next year.
Only 34 property owners have split lots in Ward 10 in the last three years. Several created long, narrow skinny homes that are "polarizing" and turning residents against new development, Walters said, sharing pictures of one with black, metal siding and a blocky shape that cuts the neighbour's view of the street.
"In an old, more rundown area, it's ridiculous to assume you want to fit into that context. That's a full-throttle renew," he said, suggesting design requirements should be more loose there. "(But) this gradual renewal … should pay heed to the existing architecture."
City officials are midway through what they call Infill 2.0 — a study of how the city can encourage more medium-density development along transit corridors and near new employment hubs and activity centres.
Officials gave an update Wednesday and also reviewed why Edmonton's small-scale infill is not taking off the way many expected. Skinny homes are being built and sold in a select few neighbourhoods, usually not in economically challenged neighbourhoods that could most use the redevelopment.
Plus, city officials said most of the brownstones, courtyard apartments and other medium-density development they believe would lead to more affordable homes for the average homebuyer can't be built under existing zoning rules without variances.
Developer Mick Graham, president of the Infill Development Association of Edmonton, said extra charges, restrictions and long delays mean some row-house projects even on main roads can't be built.
Two skinny homes in the suburbs can be built and sold before an identical home in a mature neighbourhood gets permits, said Graham. The increased land costs and permitting delays add almost $100,000 to the cost of the house, with delays costing a developer or homeowner $500 a week.
"Under the zoning regulations we're working with today, it's very, very difficult," Graham told the urban planning committee.
Mayor Don Iveson said he'd like to see this "missing middle," or medium density, clustered around employment centres, new consolidated schools, LRT stations and high-frequency bus routes.
"The demand is pent up," Iveson said, after bemoaning how long it takes to get these developments through the permitting process now. It seems like Edmonton's council is dealing with five-plex projects the same way Calgary's council takes a one-by-one approach to secondary suites.
If Edmonton wants to compete globally for talent, it needs affordable living in walkable neighbourhoods close to the core, he said. "Cities that have this housing form are very, very successful."
Councillors also voted to build data-based profiles of each neighbourhood to help residents identify good locations for this middle density, and see how it might benefit existing schools and businesses. City officials will be bringing an initial action plan on middle density to the public in early 2018.
Several residents also spoke at committee. Irene Blain of West Jasper Place suggested a new approach called "form-based" zoning could help, and many residents would be more accepting of change if the city's crackdown on poor building practices was successful.
Developers often advocate for form-based zoning as a way to focus on how the outside of a building fits the context, rather than regulating how many people and uses can be inside.
That could mean if two similar houses sit side by side, one could be a single-family home while the other might have three suites and a café.

Big hypes, clear trends and micro services
When we started discussing the tracks for GOTO Amsterdam in november 2014, we took Gartners Hype cycle and used it to plot technologies we had on our radar. It sort of looked like the picture found above. We see Microservices as a very interesting topic. It was Martin Fowler and James Lewis who raised more awareness in this article.
The term "Microservice Architecture" has sprung up over the last few years to describe a particular way of designing software applications as suites of independently deployable services. While there is no precise definition of this architectural style, there are certain common characteristics around organization around business capability, automated deployment, intelligence in the endpoints, and decentralized control of languages and data.
Was it the article or was the market ready for Microservices? The trend is very clear in this google trend:
The technology trend is clear, when will the market adopt that new technology? We plotted the microservices trend quite early on the hypecycle last year and the main question was; when will it catch on? Jobs are always a good indication if a new technology is being adopted.
The indeed graph is quite clear; Microservices are about to take off.
When looking at Europe, England is one of the first countries to start using a new technology. The rest of Europe catches up in 6-8 months after that. Microservices where a big hit at QCon London (march 2015) and the Microservices Conference (november 2014). In short: we believe that starting this summer, microservices will be taking off in Holland. GOTO Amsterdam would be the ideal place to kickstart your microservices knowledge.
In James Lewis and our own Sven Johan we found a great combination to shape the microservices track. Sven organizes the Microservices Amsterdam Meetup and is part of our program committee. In the next section, their Microservices track is explained.
Shaping the microservices track
The idea of Microservices gives us big promises, but do also bear a lot of risk. In times of continuously delivery Microservices give us the freedom to release functionality independantly and quickly without the risk of retesting the whole application. They allow us to choose the right tool for the job – the right database, the right programming language, the right protocols, build tools, etc. No lame compromises anymore. We are all scared of touching a huge monolith, usually a big ball of mud, because we never know what side-effects our changes will have. Microservices are small and do one thing and that thing really well. They are therefore easy to understand and easy to change. We can even deploy multiple versions of them. We can replace them, if the used technology is not good enough anymore for the problem at hand, without suffering a big rewrite. Services which need to scale can be scaled independently. A microservice is developed by a small team, which chooses the working style they love the most. Another microservice-team may choose another working style.
Should we all move now to Microservices?
Microservices are not a free lunch. You need to be able to rapidly provision infrastructure. After all, it's not one or two applications you deploy with a shared database, you may deploy 80 different applications and 80 different databases in various versions and some are deployed with multiple instances. You can only do that if you know how to automate the server provisioning. Not only that, your deployment must be automated, too. You need to look at continuous delivery practices like deployment pipelines.
You cannot look at a log file anymore to find out what happened in case of an error. Which log file on which server should it be? Local method calls are no problem compared to remote calls in a cloud environment where machines die all the time. So you need to understand distributed systems monitoring very well in order to hunt down bugs.
All of a sudden, you have distributed transactions. Several data lie on different services in different formats. There's no nice tool abstracting away the problems you will have in case of failure. You need to explicitely think about it and address it.
We think that we will see more and more large (legacy) systems moving towards this kind of architecture in the future. This kind of migration is not easy, but GOTO prepares you for this journey. We have a full day track and two full-day workshops on Microservices. Fred George and James Lewis, both early adopters and discoverers of Microservices are hosting their hands-on workshop.
Regarding the track
James Lewis, the trackhost, will present on how to develop systems where independent small components live only for a short while until they get replaced by new implementations. Fred George takes us on a journey on how he implemented small collaborating services in various companies and the challenges he faced. Chris Richardson explains how to tackle distributed transactions in an distributed, event-driven architecture. Matt Heath will talk about how they build a large distributed microservice-based system entirely in Go. Wow! Last but now least present Tareq Abedrabbo and Stephen Judd about things they wish they'd known before they started with Microservices – common pitfalls, anti-patterns, but also helpful tools and frameworks.
Want to know more?
Greg Young earlier said about Microservices:
When talking about Microservices we have to remember that they are not new ideas even though they are still at the beginning of the adoption lifecycle, mainly used by innovators and early adopters which brings a lot of enthusiasm. When reaching the early and late majority Greg believes the problems will start to show up with tool vendors and toolkits trying to simplify and sometimes doing things that you really shouldn't do. The future he sees is that we over the course of 3-5 years will end up rebuilding WS-* the same way Web Services did rebuild all from CORBA. It's inevitable, we do this over and over again,

Do you want to know more? There are 2 great ways to see how deep the rabbithole goes:
1) You can register for our FREE GOTO night with Sam Newman and Uwe Friedrichsen and learn more.
2) You can register now for GOTO Amsterdam 2015 and leverage from the early bird (and use a possible discount code if you look carefully 🙂 )
There is no 3….
Is there another conference in Europe this summer with such a good Microservices track? Nope not yet 😉
We think that GOTO London and GOTO Copenhagen will deliver awesome microservices content though.
We hope to welcome you at GOTO and be part of a family of innovators and technology enthusiasts.

Unfortunately, producing a definitive listing of all known vendor, version, and platform incompatibilities would be an enormous task. It is beyond the scope and mission of this book, and it has apparently never even been seriously attempted. You may find some assistance on the Internet, but you will have to rely primarily on your own experience and testing. Once you have identified an area of incompatibility, however, there are a number of basic approaches you can take to coping with it, as described in the following sections.

James Franco Joins Nick at Nite's Telenovela
Full of surprises, that guy.
James Franco will be in a mutli-episode arc on Nick at Nite's upcoming primetime soap Hollywood Heights, the network announced today. What magic is this! The show, formerly known as Reach for the Stars, is based on a Mexican series about a shy girl who becomes a pop star after winning a songwriting competition. Along the way, she befriends a mega-rock-star — who is of course her celebrity crush. Heights premieres in June and will air five nights a week, telenovela style, but it's not clear yet when Franco's arc starts or what his role entails. If there's a God in TV heaven, though, it's someone incredibly sage and hilarious.

I liked the planning that went into this where the color blocks intersecting.
This must have been a challenge also. We saw this pattern repeated in several quilts.
I loved the nest. Reminded me of the floss and yarn scrapes I throw in the

Which Other Olympians Should Listen to Lil' Wayne Before Competing?
Michael Phelps listens to Weezy's "I'm Me" before he swims. What other athletes could benefit from Wayne's motivational power?
Even before his bonkers gold-medal stockpiling in Beijing, the search was on for the key to swimming automaton — and Daily Intel lust object — Michael Phelps's domination. Earlier this week, in an interview with the Today show, he revealed a piece of the puzzle: Phelps told Hoda Kotb that he was listening to Lil' Wayne's "I'm Me" before winning his third gold, in the 200m freestyle. Of course! If anyone knows anything about winning it's Lil' Wayne, currently busy dominating the rap game. But Phelps shouldn't be the only one tapping Wayne's motivational power — which other Olympians could benefit from some pre-performance Weezy?
1. He Kexin — "Shorty Bounce"
Reports of underage gymnasts on the Chinese team have recently focused on Kexin, who was apparently listed as 13 years old by the country's official news agency, Xinhua, just nine months before the Olympics (gymnasts must be 16 to compete.) Kexin and the rest of her adorable gold-medalist moppet teammates should have tuned out the detail-obsessed haters with "Shorty Bounce" the only Lil' Wayne song we know that's a vague takedown of a former American gymnastics champion. Everybody now: "Yeah, stop, pause, make 'em Dominique Dawes/ flip a bitch n**** when the shotties go off."
2. U.S. Men's Basketball Team — "Pop Bottles"
The "Redeem Team" has already taken the refrain of "Pop Bottles" — "First we take shots, and then pop bottles" — to heart, running through weaker competition to a perfect record in the quarterfinals, staying focused on the larger challenges ahead. In order to stay focused for their first big showdown with Spain tomorrow morning, they should probably ignore the second part —"Flirt with the hoodrats, and then pop models."
3. Irina Karavayeva — "Sportscenter"
In the intro to this cut off his Dedication 2 mixtape, Weezy lets us know, "I like sports, dog, basically that's what I'm trying to say. That's what I'm into. Sports, sports, sports. Every sport… I got a favorite player in every sport." Which means he's maybe the only person alive who's aware that trampoline is an Olympic event. Russia's Karavayeva, who won the first-ever Olympic gold handed out in the sport in Sydney and is a favorite once again, should be bumping this hard.
4. Anastasia Davydova and Anastasia Ermakova, "Black Democrats"
In the synchronized swimming duet, the connection between the two athletes is so important that twins often compete alongside one another. It can't hurt Russia's Anastasia Davydova and Anastasia Ermakova, currently favored in the competition, to study up on Wayne's eternal bond with fellow M.C. Juelz Santana. The two often collaborate, but have perhaps never sounded better together than on this track, their take on Nas and Jay-Z's "Black Republicans."
5. Kimberly Rhode, "Shooter"
This one basically writes itself. On Wednesday, Italy's Chiara Cainero beat America's Kimberly Rhode and Germany's Christine Brinker in women's skeet shooting. The competition actually came down to a shoot-off, and we can't help but think if Kimberly had been rocking with some "Shooter," off Tha Carter II — "I take you to the shootout, baby, win lose or draw / And then they ask who when where how / And, my reply was simply pow!" —she may have pulled this thing out after all. —Amos Barshad

Dortmund returns to 1st in AP football poll
Nov. 05, 2013
LONDON (AP) — Borussia Dortmund returned to first place in this week's Associated Press global football poll after a 6-1 win over Stuttgart. Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski, who scored a hat trick in the Bundesliga win, topped the player rankings.
Dortmund was only one vote ahead of Arsenal, which opened a five-point gap at the top of the English Premier League with a 2-0 win over Liverpool.
Arsenal travels to Dortmund for a crucial match in Group F of the Champions League on Wednesday. After losing 2-1 at home, another defeat would mean Arsenal might have to win at Napoli to ensure qualification for the next round.
"Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal made statements this weekend, with convincing victories against tough opposition," Ubiratan Leal of trivela.com in Brazil said. "Both performances increase the anticipation for the Champions League rematch this Wednesday."
Lewandowski will be going into the match at the peak of his form. After scoring three against Stuttgart, his goal tally for the season is 12 from 14 games and he received 170 votes out of a possible 220 from this week's panel of 22 global football writers.
Cristiano Ronaldo was Lewandowski's closest challenger in the player rankings, but was still 31 points behind the Poland striker despite scoring five times last week.
Manchester City was third in the club rankings after thrashing Norwich 7-0, and three of its players made the top 10 this week.
Sergio Aguero was tied fourth alongside Madrid winger Gareth Bale, while midfielders David Silva and Yaya Toure were ninth and 10th, respectively.
Ateltico Madrid was fourth in the club vote after a 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao. Goals came from David Villa and Diego Costa, who is seventh in the player poll.
"They destroyed Athletic Bilbao, which is a good team," Axel Torres of Marca Radio in Spain said. "Bilbao did not even have a goal opportunity in the whole game."
Barcelona dropped to seventh after beating rival Espanyol 1-0, and was even with Bayern Munich.
Munich won 2-1 at Hoffenheim to maintain its one-point lead over Dortmund at the top of the Bundesliga, equaling a league record in the process.
"(Even) though Bayern weren't as impressive as they have been, they equaled Hamburg's 30-year-old league record of 36 consecutive matches without defeat to stay top," James Porteous of the South-China Morning Post said.
AP Global Football 10 rankings (for week ending Nov. 5)
1. Robert Lewandowski, 170 points.
2. Cristiano Ronaldo, 139.
3. Aaron Ramsey, 102.
4. Sergio Aguero, 63.
(tie) Gareth Bale, 63.

Discover Norfolk - A Hidden Gem (England)
guest post by Vicky Anscombe
Don't be fooled by urbanites that write disparaging, snooty articles on Nelson's County - if you're looking to explore a part of the UK that's worth its weight in gold, Norfolk's your best bet. Tucked neatly away in the east corner of England, Norfolk is a destination that has remained unspoiled because it's not a place you travel through - it's a place you travel to. From sophisticated and fun-filled capital city Norwich, to the beauty of Cromer and Thetford Forest, there's something for everyone - you just have to know where to look. The only thing you'll need in order to get to grips with Norfolk properly is your own transport, so if you don't own a vehicle, make sure you hire a car as Norfolk's trains and buses aren't known for their frequency.
If you decide to explore Norwich, don't worry about time - it's a small city that can easily be explored in a couple of days. Sights worth seeing include Norwich Castle, Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts (this is located near to the University of East Anglia) and Magdalen Street, which is packed full of chintzy cafes, charity shops and flea markets, and is a must for anyone who enjoys spending an afternoon looking for oddities and curiosities. If you're thinking about evening entertainment, you can't go wrong with a film in Cinema City, then a few drinks in Frank's Bar - the staff there are incredibly kind.
If you're after a bite whilst you're in the city, there are plenty of cafes that will ensure you're probably fed and watered without having to resort to a chain establishment. The Window Coffee in Wensum Street, Mustard Coffee Bar on Bridewell Alley and Olive's (just off Elm Hill) are independent venues that'll impress without breaking the bank. If you fancy going (and potentially staying) somewhere a bit more upmarket, Caistor Hall, which is located in the pretty nearby town of Caistor St Edmund, serves excellent food and has some wonderful rooms if you're after a second honeymoon.
However, there's more to Norfolk than just the bright lights of Norwich. The seaside towns dotted along the Norfolk coast range from the never-sleeping Great Yarmouth through to the picturesque towns Cromer (photo) and Holme. If you're after somewhere with plenty of life, Sheringham is always worth a visit, as there are plenty of cafes and shops to peruse as you debate when to have your next ice cream. If you're thinking about staying in Sheringham, try The Grove Guest house. It's a beautifully secluded Georgian holiday home set within 3 acres of well-maintained gardens, with a heated indoor swimming pool if you're after a place to practice your backstroke.
Finally, make sure that you don't miss the opportunity to get some fresh air into your lungs and take advantage of all the wonderful walks that Norfolk has to offer. The Great Eastern Pingo Trail, which starts just outside of the village of Thomson, clocks in at just under 6 miles. It's a great way to work off a roast dinner (talking of which, nearby pub The Chequers Inn sells fantastic homemade fare) and you'll probably see plenty of wildlife. This trail is great for nature enthusiasts as there are plenty of places to sit quietly and wait to see animals make an appearance, and there are many shelters dotted around the circuit for avid birdwatchers.
Economy Car Hire is the UK's leading independent car hire broker. Their rental prices offer Full Collision Damage and Theft Protection, a FREE additional driver, and unlimited mileage.

Lest We Forget!
Today is Anzac Day, the national remembrance day of Australia and New Zealand when people pay their respects and honour the bravery, courage, resilience and sacrifice of the service men and women of our country. Dawn services are conducted all throughout the country, at Anzac Cove in Turkey, throughout battefields in South East Asia and throughout Western Front villages in France and Belgium.
This wonderful and moving painting (click on it for a larger image) appears in the outstanding Australian War Memorial in Canberra. It is my favourite single piece in the entire collection.
The haunting Menin Gate at Midnight appears by itself in a darkened room with background music of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony. Reportedly painted in one sitting by a deeply mournful Will Longfellow, the painting captures the famed gates in Ypres, Belgium that tens of thousands of soldiers passed heading to the Western Front. Today, the walls of the gate list 54,000 Commonwealth soldiers with no known grave, a small portion of the quarter of a million lives lost in this area of battle during World War One. The painting eerily and movingly portrays Longfellow's vision of thousands of spirits of the dead rising and marching towards the battlefields.
At all Anzac Day services, the Ode of Remembrance is always read.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Lest We Forget!

Pancake Rocks: A Layered Wonderland (Punakaiki, New Zealand)
Sandwiched between the uninspiring towns of Westport and Greymouth are the extraordinary Pancake Rocks - the ocean sprays, pounds and bursts through fissures in unusually carved and layered rocks near the tiny village of Punakaiki.
Constructed of stratified limestone formed thirty millions years ago, this geological wonderland was formed on the seabed, kilometres underwater, with layer after layer of shellfish, plants and dead marine creatures mixed with mud and clay forming over time. The immense weight and water pressure gradually compressed and petrified into soft and hard layers. Earth tremors and seismic action uplifted the seabed where constant ocean surges and whipping winds carved bizarre and wonderful features and formations, while rainwater leeched into the rock eating narrow alleys.
Naturally, the softer rock has eroded much faster causing the unusual pancake stack appearance. The ocean surges in and out of pools, blowholes and caverns making deep hollow booms while seawater channels through narrow tunnels spraying into the air in a spray of rainbows and thin mist. Like limestone caves, the erosion allows imagination to witness all kind of animals and figures from the rock – a lion head staring menacingly out to sea.
A scenic half hour path meanders through native rainforest to the coast, high above the bluffs, arches and sea caves offering numerous views of Pancake Rocks. Natural staircases are carved from the historic seabed while vantage points look over surge pools and blowholes and offer panoramic vistas down the coastline.
With good planning, high tide is prime time with the extra height of the water powering sea water through tiny passageways shooting spray high into the air.
Pancake Rocks are a wonderful natural diversion driving down the New Zealand west coast offering stellar scenes of exotically shaped rock weathered and sculpted over millions of years.

An Appropriate Name (Cape Foulwind, New Zealand)
The day is foul – a wind howls across the point resisted by only the hardiest of scrubby bushes and toughened grasses. Surf pounds relentlessly into the west coast's limestone cliffs and volcanic beaches. Brooding dark seas merge into the pewter grey clouds blurring any idea of a horizon, a lonely characterless lighthouse warning all things marine to steer a careful path around this treacherous area. The original 1876 lighthouse was a fine timber building, its gleaming beacon guiding vessels for 50 years before being replaced by the current concrete automated lighthouse. Functional but rather unattractive.
In March 1770 the weather was no different for Captain Cook as Endeavour, at the mercy of the persistent gale-force winds, was blown off-course prompting him to appropriately name the point Cape Foulwind – today only a few kilometres south of the uninspiring town of Westport.
Almost indistinguishable from rocks and driftwood debris thrown by the savage waves, New Zealand Fur Seals luxuriate and relax at nearby Cape Tauranga. Sea spray showers the rocky shoreline, seals basking in the brutal weather conditions. The pockmarked coastline is only distinguishable as a faint greyish line in the murky atmosphere.
In the scrubby foreshore vegetation, western wekas fuss about their bushy hideaways. These plucky birds confidently go about their day oblivious to hiking travellers. Dealt a bad hand, birds like the kiwi and weka evolved into ground dwellers and lost the ability to fly due to the complete absence of mammals and rodents as predators when the continental split happened many millions of years ago. Sadly in the last thousand years as mammals and rodents reached the shores of New Zealand, populations of these wonderful but defenceless feathered creatures were decimated.
On a map as a thin long ribbon of red, SH6 weaves and meanders the full length of the west coast of New Zealand from Nelson in the north to Invercargill in the south. It makes for one of the world's more inspiring drives with numerous areas of natural beauty – glaciers, fjords, cliffs, panoramic vistas, caves and weird rock formations - only occasionally interrupted by townships.
The west coast of New Zealand gets a considerable share of rough weather and rainfall, conditions which have carved and crafted the evocative coastline. Whether in glistening sunshine or foulwind, the drive down the west coast is an exhilarating natural experience encapsulated by the twin points of Cape Foulwind and Cape Tauranga.

Forgotten Route 66 (USA)
guest post by Lauren Williams
The art of the Great American Road Trip has been lost in translation over the years – driving from A to B used to be an affair to remember, a whimsical adventure that would see you saying farewell to your loved ones for weeks, maybe even months, on end. Now, the 21st century has seen the rise in wanting to get to any said destination right now. Why would you want to take the scenic route when motorways and high-speed interstates can whip you across the country in a matter of hours?
Better still, hopping on a flight from JFK to LAX will take less than half a day, and cost less than driving from Florida Keys to Washington DC – after all, you don't need breakdown cover when you're 30,000 feet above the roads.
Historic Route 66 now runs alongside Interstate 40 – the American's preferred way to drive from east to west – but driving along the USA's most romanticised road is an indulgence in the kitsch, the bizarre and the can't-believe-that's-real. You could speed along the Interstate, but you'd miss out on Gemini Giant and Road Kill Café if you did.
Before buzzing neon signs and burnt-out trucks found their homes at the side of Main Street USA, it was a corridor for travellers and trade; during the Great Depression it was the main artery of the country, with people living in the mid-west migrating to Golden California in hope of work and a golden future. After WWII, thousands more up-and-left the more industrial east to find a more prosperous west.
Though it is no longer the beating heart of mainland USA, it still has a certain hold on the imaginations of will-be travellers and explorers. The hucksterism is still the same too – giant billboards which fuelled the first fires of American wanderlust-cum-consumerism still dominate the roadside, tempting drivers and their passengers to swim next to a giant blue whale or eat where the corn dog was born.
However, Route 66 wouldn't be Route 66 without the shameless tackiness that lines the roads – we'd even go as far to say that every business owner along the 2,000 mile stretch proudly flies the flag of cheap and shabby – and why not? Travellers travel on a budget, they scrimp and save and cut back by all means necessary, they are not going to stop at a diner to eat over a sweaty packed lunch unless it's really worth it.
That is why we love Route 66. We love its outspoken past and its crude giant statues. We love its timelessness, its brash personality and its oddly understated presence in modern America. We advise you to take a few weeks off work, hire a convertible Cadillac and head to Chicago to start the drive of your life.
Top Route 66 oddities include:
● Cadillac Ranch. On your way to Amarillo, hold tight to your hire car before it joins this Texan Cadillac graveyard. In a field just off the road, you'll see ten Caddis buried nose-first in a straight line. An odd sight if you're not ready for it, however, they are meant to be vandalised so pick up a spray can and get creative!
● Gigantus Headicus. Where Route 66 and Antares Road meet, near Kingman, you could be mistaken for thinking that one of the eerie heads on Easter Island had decided it had had enough of the isolation of the South Pacific, and moved to this less than busy corner in Arizona. Stand under its nose and get a good "I drove Route 66" picture.
● Prada Marfa. Driving across the bare Texan landscape, you'll be shocked to see a building (surrounded by nothing) resembling a Prada store. If you do decide to stop and check it out, you won't be able to get in and purchase anything, but you will be able to lust over the real Prada handbags and one half of a pair of Prada heels.
● Oklahoma Ghost. If you find yourself driving between Weatherford and El Reno on a damp evening, be cautious of a humpbacked hitchhiker wearing a trenchcoat and a fedora. If you do pick him up, he'll more than likely attempt to jump out of your moving vehicle, vanish from sight and appear again thumbing for a lift 10 miles up the road.
● Bottle Tree Ranch. Probably the most impressive attraction along Route 66, featuring hundreds of bottle trees tinkering in the wind. Make sure you knock on Elmer Long's (the quirky guy behind the ranch) door for a chat and tour.

Pelorus Sound Scenic Reserve (New Zealand)
The Rai Swingbridge crosses the deep aquamarine blue of Rai River as part of a beautiful gentle walking circuit through totara forest (one of several walks in the area). This sturdy structure has far less swing and sway than its cousin over Buller Gorge.
It is all part of Pelorus Sound Scenic Reserve, a wonderfully preserved pocket of historic forest encrusting the far sinewy reaches of Pelorus Sound. It is a perfect stopping point between Queen Charlotte Sound and Nelson to stretch the legs and enjoy the uplifting New Zealand outdoors. Fat lumbering brown trout can be spotted sluggishly swimming upstream through the crystalline waters.

Buller Gorge Swingbridge (New Zealand)
The road from Nelson to the west coast of New Zealand weaves through some spectacular mountain and gorge country. The road follows and falls with the river the scenery draped in a veil of verdant green foliage and murky mists.
At over 100 metres in length near the uninteresting town of Murchison is New Zealand's longest swingbridge. Spanning dramatic Buller Gorge carved by energetic aquamarine green waters, the bridge sways and bounces with its human cargo. Not for sufferers of vertigo photographers nervously snap a memory from the centre of the bridge balancing their camera in one hand while clinging grimly to the cable with the other.
The area has witnessed some exciting events. A brief gold rush in the mid 1800s oversaw a speedy population increase, hopeful miners panned and dug seeking their fortunes with a lucky strike. A short damp circuit walk from the swingbridge through primeval ferns and moss-encrusted trees holds memories of the harsh conditions in which these miners laboured. Primitive labour-intensive mining equipment and deep shafts line the path while meagre shacks with little more than a large fireplace and small bed offered refuge from the regular rains and harsh winters.
The circuit passes a small cliff-face where in June, 1929 a major earthquake (7.8 on the Richter scale) lifted land upwards some 4.5 metres. Across the river a small waterfall cascades into the river on the fault line. In 1968 a second earthquake reminded Kiwis of the unsteady land of the area, the main road requiring reconstruction in parts.
The gorge is a major centre for water sports Kiwi-style, including white-water rafting, kayaking and jetboating. For those seeking more dry land adrenalin than the swingbridge, a zipline offers a return journey in either the seated position (flying fox style) or a flying position for those with superhero tendencies.
Buller Gorge provides a wonderful scenic stop crossing to New Zealand's west coast with numerous opportunities for adrenalin-fuelled activities along with reminders of a harsh history of savage earthquakes and tough mining.

Stoked with Craft Beer (Nelson, New Zealand)
With ideal growing conditions for hops, the Nelson region boasts around 20 craft breweries many producing novel and unusual beers along with the more traditional brewed offerings. One highly recommended place is McCashin's Brewery in Stoke only a few kilometres from the centre of Nelson (and near the unique World of WearableArt Museum).
Working in an old cider factory, McCashin's produce beer, cider, fruit drinks and vodka (and bottled water), all based an aquifer holding 26000 year old water (hence the name 26000 Vodka). Swearing by its incredible purity the water has been cutely trademarked as palaeo water (as in palaeolithic).
The McCashin name is synonymous with Kiwi beer, the first family venture by father Terry resulting in the popular Macs beers, since bought by the brewing behemoth Lion Nathan. After serving a period out of the game as part of the contractual terms of the sale, the son Dean (with wife Emma) has taken the head role in this new venture out of the same factory.
A visit to McCashin's includes an informative tour taking people through each element of the brewing process – all based on the traditional four brewing ingredients (McCashins beers are all based on the original 16th century Bavarian beer purity rules) – water, hops, yeast and malt. The first of the two most noteworthy elements of the tour are the beer nursery where the commercial process has been miniaturised so a barrel or two of beer can be experimentally brewed and perfected tweaking the fermenting temperatures, styles and amounts of hops and malt for different beers. At times, unusual flavoured beers are produced – some for special occasions such as Christmas. The other striking element of the tour is the remarkable bottling machine where empty bottles are filled, sealed, cleaned, labelled and packaged in an eye-opening flurry of mechanical activity.
The tastings at McCashin's are generous and entertaining. In a retro-styled room that combines a cafeteria (serving coffees and snacks during the day) and a bar, a staff member patiently shares tastes of the broad selection of beers, ciders and fruit juices combining characteristics of each drop with stories. Artworks, photos and brewing paraphernalia fill the walls, while the place with its comfy couches has an infectious positive feel of relaxed enthusiasm.
While there are over a dozen beers, personal favourites include Stoke Amber (a reddish brew rich in malt flavours with a definite hint of toffee), Stoke Dark (a velvety smooth caramel-y black beer without the heaviness), Stoke IPA (a golden intensely hoppy and citrus-y beer ideal for warm weather), Stoke Smoky Ale (deep red-brown coloured beer with an unusual touch of smokiness) and Stoke Ginger (non-alcoholic balancing sweetness with the refreshing tang of ginger).
Ciders include the traditional apple though I prefer the pear cider. A real highlight is the fruit cider drinks (called Frute) with lumps of fruit in strongly flavoured offerings. The Mango Lime combines the succulent smoothness of mango with the tang of lime and apple while the visually striking Berry provides a plush sumptuous mix of raspberries, boysenberries and blackberries complemented by the tanginess of apples. Don't be fooled however, Frute contains around the same alcohol as beer.
To help sustain my further touring in New Zealand, I popped into the small bottle store to stock up with a few favourites from the tasting and also a couple of well-priced seconds and specials.
Only a few years in existence, McCashin's captures the lively spirit of craft brewing with an excellent variety of products and a brisk information-rich tour (runs twice daily) highlighting the art of brewing beer. It makes for a wonderful afternoon diversion while visiting Nelson and is an ideal example of the Nelson region's fine tradition in craft beers.

Love is in the Air in Venice (Italy)
guest post by Francesca Edwards
As one of the most romantic cities in the world, its no wonder Venice is such a popular choice for romantic breaks and honeymoons. For those who like to know exactly what they're in for and like to plan to the last detail, here are a few tips to make your trip to Venice as romantic as possible.
1. Gondola ride… at Sunset
This one can be slightly challenging to organise as it involves perfect timing. However, get it right and the results will be magical. Perhaps one of the romantic activities of all time, floating through the Venetian lagoon on an old-fashioned gondola, past all the charming Venetian architecture will be guaranteed to woo your partner. If you're lucky you may even be able to convince your gondolier to sing you a nice little verse of Pavarotti's Nessun Dorma.
2. Spontaneous kiss
By this I don't mean full on snogging in the middle of the street, ideally you want to sweep your partner off their feet in a nice romantic and civilised way. One of the best place to do this in Venice is on one of the bridges, the more tucked away, the more romantic (having other tourists taking pictures of you mid kiss or being bumped about will take the edge off it – trust me). The Tre Arche Bridge is a short walk from the heart of Venice presents a nice and private sweep your partner off their feet opportunity.
3. Re-enact the scene from Lady and the Tramp
So this can technically be done anywhere in the world (as long as you have access to some spaghetti and meatballs), however it'll be all that more special in Italy, the land of pasta and romance. All you need to do is find a little restaurant which has spaghetti and meatballs on the menu and ask for two portions to share. Ideally you'll pick a candlelit restaurant, await your pasta, and just as you get down to the last string of spaghetti - take one end of it each place it in your mouth and suck until you lips touch and mwah! There you have it; the perfect Lady and the Tramp kiss… awww.
4. Perfect Accommodation
Accommodation can make or break any romantic trip so when it comes to picking your love nest choose wisely. You'll find it's really difficult to get a secluded romantic atmosphere in hotels and hostels, simply because you're surrounded by hundreds of other people doing the exact same thing as you – and let's face it, there's nothing romantic about being in crowd. This is why when my boyfriend and I decided to go on a romantic Venice break we rented a Venice holiday apartment. We certainly didn't regret it – taking long baths together, cooking our very own dinners, filling our kitchen cabinets and fridge full of amazing Italian food from the supermarket, no having to worry about the maid disrupting you in the mornings… It was the perfect holiday accommodation for the perfect holiday.
For the perfect romantic holiday in on eof the most romantic cities in the world, a little planning can ensure that a good holiday turns into a vacation of a lifetime.

Games Around the World: Dominoes
Dominoes is a game nearly everyone played as a child and seems to be a familiar game to people on every continent. A tile or bone (named from their original construction) contains two values, each from zero (blank) to six represented by a number of dots. Each set contains one of every combination of tile making a set of 28, making for a easy to carry game.
As a travel game it is ideal. Most people know how to play and it is extremely simple to teach even with limited language, though some strategy helps with winning. Dominoes appears to be most popular in Central and South America (I have played in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia) though I played it a lot in East Africa too, especially in Kenya, Tanzania and Malawi (often with a set made from soapstone, some beautifully ornate). While as a child I always paraded the tiles on the table in front of me, in many games I played around the world, players cup the tiles in their hands more akin to playing cards taking sneaky glimpses at their tiles like they represent national secrets.
Games are played with great animation. Fierce concentration and studious silence is broken by the celebratory sharp crack of a tile slapped down on a table when a winning move is played. Like mancala and other games, the game is a great icebreaker when travelling and provides a great chance to meet with local populations. As a side benefit, it can teach numbers in the local language!!
While nearly everyone has seen and played dominoes, I will give a brief summary of the rules. While there are numerous variations, the basic game involves starting with a hand of seven tiles or bones (drawn from the evocatively named boneyard) and kept hidden from your opponents. Each game involves building a long line of tiles constructed by alternately playing tiles where the end value matches. That is, if the two ends of the line are a blank and a five, then you can play any tile where one of the values in your hand is a blank or a five. If you cannot match a tile, then you draw a tile from the boneyard and extend your hand. The object of the game is to lose all your tiles. If a game is blocked and no-one can play and the boneyard is empty, then the player with the least total dots left in their hand is the winner.
I overlooked a game called 42 in an American bar one night where the tiles were treated more like playing cards. Players make bids based on the value of their hands nominating trumps and playing out tricks where everyone plays a tile from their hand. Despite watching for a while I never worked out the game but it is a sign of the wide gamut of variations such a simple set of patterned tiles can bring.
Seek out chances to play games during your travels, some having deep cultural ties to the country or region.
For the duration of 2012 at the start of each month, Travel Wonders features a popular or characteristic game played during my travels. The previous two articles have looked at popular African game mancala and my own personal favourite that always travels with me, Pass the Pigs.

Luxury Escape in Nelson (New Zealand)
With no map, we checked at a local restaurant for directions to the Wheelhouse Inn. The owner said "Oh, that's Ralph and Sally's place. It's beautiful. You'll love it". And he was so correct.
From when we first moored our car in the anchorage – everything at The Wheelhouse Inn has a nautical theme – the place has a wonderful relaxed feel. Opening the door of the Wheelhouse, a modern self-contained timber-panelled house, panoramic vistas immediately strike. With huge picture windows, the place overlooks Nelson's Tasman Bay and the narrow deep channel where pilot boats skilfully steer large cargo vessels in and out of port.
Nestling into a tranquil expansive garden of native shrubs and trees, the Wheelhouse is just one of five self-contained multi-level houses and units overlooking Nelson's Tasman Bay. The Captain's Quarters, Crows Nest, Chart House Main Deck and Chart House Upper Deck all offer spectacular views and distinctive accommodation.
The Wheelhouse is spotlessly clean, spacious and tastefully appointed for a stay of several days including comfortable lounge area (including large TV, DVD, CD player and high-speed cable internet), outdoor gas BBQ, upstairs main bedroom and downstairs laundry (with dryer). The place is filled with absorbing nautical pictures and maritime knick-knacks including the steering wheel of a large ship that sunk many years ago.
While numerous eating options are simply a matter of strolling down the hill, the full-equipped modern kitchen offers an opportunity to eat in and watch evening envelop the Nelson waterfront. There is even a set of binoculars to watch the maritime entertainment or view the playful tuis enjoy the bloom-laden garden.
Befitting Nelson's thriving art culture, the Wheelhouse offers handsome handmade pottery coffee cups (and plunger coffee). Ralph is a keen artist himself, his studio turning out quirky kiln-fired glazed seagulls, each with its own unique personality skilfully portrayed by subtle changes to its eyes, beak and stance, many securing a prized fish.
I cannot imagine a better start to the day than watching vibrant orange and burnished gold light the dawn sky slowly illuminating Tasman Bay, all from the comfort of bed. The Wheelhouse is a peaceful place, ideal for a special occasion or for a few days exploring Nelson and neighbouring Abel Tasman National Park.
Bookings and details about The Wheelhouse Inn can be found here.
The Wheelhouse Inn provided a complimentary overnight stay to the author. As always, the content and opinions are mine and are not influenced by the provision of discounted or free services. In this case, I highly recommend The Wheelhouse Inn. It provides highlight luxury accommodation in vibrant Nelson overlooking stunning Tasman Bay.

Palmer mulls Exxon deal
Australian Financial Review, 6 February 2012
Mining billionaire Clive Palmer is considering an offer from ExxonMobil to secure rights to explore his expansive gas deposits in Papua New Guinea.
Mr Palmer said Exxon first approached him in 2010 and he held further discussions with the global oil giant again late last year.
PNG-based oil and gas company Chinampa Exploration, a subsidiary of Mr Palmer's Mineralogy, has offshore exploration licences at the northern end of the Gulf of Papua, west of the capital of Port Moresby.
Mr Palmer told The Australian Financial Review that Exxon had proposed "farm-out" arrangements whereby the major would fund exploration work to potentially tap into the area's gas deposits in return for a stake in the venture.
Chinampa holds oil and gas exploration licences covering more than 43,000 square kilometres. The company is in the very early stages of exploration and needs significant funding to help with high exploration costs.
Mr Palmer said he had spent $40 million on geological tests which showed there was potential to find gas when drilling begins.
"This project could be bigger than the North West Shelf - it's the most significant thing we're doing at the moment," Mr Palmer said.
"There's a $16 billion LNG project going on with Exxon at the moment and our gas [site] is right opposite that."
Mr Palmer said the offer from Exxon was "a standing offer" and "we're thinking about it".
"We don't want to make hasty decisions. But we're either going to develop it, joint venture it or do a deal with the Chinese."
Through its subsidiary Esso Highlands, ExxonMobil is already working on the $16 billion PNG liquefied natural gas project, where construction work has been disrupted by a recent landslide.
Asked about the proposed deal with Mr Palmer, Esso Highlands spokeswoman Rebecca Arnold said: "It's not ExxonMobil's practice to comment on commercial matters."
Mr Palmer declined to discuss the details of Exxon's offer but it is believed that, under the proposal, the company would get a certain percentage of Chinampa's tenements and would have an option to do more drilling down the track.
Chinampa has three exploration licences in shallow to deep water close to the planned LNG plant at Port Moresby.
Mr Palmer plans to make a formal announcement on the offer later this year. Chinampa has also been in discussions with the PNG government on the project.
Last June, Mr Palmer spoke at a dinner that raised about $10,000 for the country's United Resources Party. He has described PNG as "the promised land" and is hoping to find oil and gas to sell to China for the country's growing energy needs.
"If we find gas, we develop it and make billions of dollars out of it," he said.
"First we're looking at reserves and then the cost of extracting . . . But it looks very promising." There's a real need for more energy in the world."
Mr Palmer claimed the $40 million spent on 3D seismic geological tests revealed 22 trillion cubic feet of gas.
"We looked at a comparative company in the US with that many reserves and with that amount it's worth about $60 billion [in market capitalisation]," he said.
Oil and gas experts said while the geological tests would indicate a potential for drilling, it was too early to tell its value. PNG LNG is scheduled to start shipments to its Asian customers in 2014.
One expert who wished to remain anonymous said: "Exxon Mobil are very good at what they do and don't look at something unless they think there's potential."

Why Watch The Phantom of the Opera
Based on the 1910 French novel "Le Fantôme de l'Opéra" by Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera is Broadway's longest-running hit. Loved by critics and audiences alike, the show has been stunning viewers since its debut in 1988. With an award-winning musical score by Andrew Lloyd Webber, the show's songs and music have become a pivotal part of Broadway history. Witness iconic performances from the magnificent James Barbour and the charming Ali Ewoldt, and prepare to be captivated by suspense and romance.
The Story
A haunting yet beautiful story, The Phantom of the Opera revolves around gorgeous soprano, Christine Daaé. A rising star, Christine takes the help of the Phantom, a musical genius who composes operas for her to practice. Lonely and deeply romantic, the Phantom, becomes obsessed with his love for Christine. When she begins seeing another man, the Phantom grows furious, terrorizing the opera house. A dark and mysterious love story, find out where Christine's heart leads her.
Good for
Opera fans | Romantic tragedy | First-time theatergoers
Critics Reviews
"Phantom still delivers the goods! Judging by sheer invention, emotional punch and onstage talent, the venerable blockbuster still beats out almost all of the shipper snappers currently on Broadway. Maria Bjornson's flamboyant gothic design and Harold Prince's fantastical staging still have the gleam of finely polished professionalism."
– The New York Times
"It's gorgeous nonsense to look at, and in director Joel Schumacher's hands, "Phantom" emerges as one of those queer works of art that actually improve somehow as they get tackier and more removed from the original."
– Washington Post

Download Breathing, Speech, and Song – D. F. Proctor
I have attempted to prepare this volume in such a way as to provide a source of information on the normal physiology of speech and song as well as on the disorders of those functions. To the extent that I have succeeded it should be of interest to physiologists, physicians, and teachers and students of the VOlce. The book is by no means a text on laryngology, nor is it a treatise on the physiology of breathing mechanics, nor yet is it a manual telling how to teach or learn voice production. If none of these, what is it? It is a discussion of the application of breathing mechanics to phonation of interest to the respir– atory physiologist, of certain aspects of physiology and medicine of interest to the teacher or student of voice, and of the problems of voice production and its maladies of interest to the laryngologist. I have undergone a number of experiences during the past 50 years which I believe have qualified me to undertake this task with some special hope of success. In my youth I studied voice for twelve years with four outstanding teachers and performed publicly as a lieder singer, in oratorio, chorus, and opera.Later I trained for and entered the medical profession in the specialty of otolaryngology. Later still I engaged in research on the physiology of breath- ing mechanics and phonation, especially singing.

Ease and Flexibility of Cloud-Based Solution Facilitates Production of Upcoming Feature Film
Ease and Flexibility of Cloud-Based Solution Facilitates Production of Upcoming Feature Film
BURLINGTON, MA--(Marketwire - Feb 6, 2013) - Signiant, the market leader in intelligent file movement software for media and entertainment, today announced that Venture 3D, a stereoscopic 3D conversion production company based in Los Angeles, is using its Media Shuttle™ hybrid SaaS file transfer solution to facilitate collaboration with partners in Hong Kong, Beijing, Seoul and Korea on an upcoming feature film. Built for workflows that demand fast, reliable delivery of massive files, and IT management features typically associated with more expensive solutions, Media Shuttle is allowing Venture 3D to dramatically broaden its business base in the Asia-Pacific region.
Known for its conversion work on "Titanic 3D" and "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader," Venture 3D is using Media Shuttle to deliver the film "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons," directed by Stephen Chow of "Shaolin Soccer" and "Kung Fu Hustle" fame. Venture 3D's business success on the project requires the ability to move massive files -- sometimes 200-300 GB in a single transfer -- to multiple entities across Asia. As such the company required a solution that would give their global partners access to large files without the administrative constraints of FTP. In addition Venture 3D needed ultimate control over who is accessing clients' high-value-assets, for how long, and to set limits on their permission to files.
"What we needed was a tall order -- the ability to transfer large files quickly, access them anywhere, control and track file access and not be limited by the size of the file or the number of people that could access those files," said Todd Cogan, SVP, Operations, Venture 3D. "Using Media Shuttle we are able to go outside of our circle of local partners to expand our business in Asia, while making the workflow process extremely easy for our clients. Solutions we have used in the past made content delivery laborious and cost intensive but with Media Shuttle we are able to move content efficiently and affordably."
Exchanging digital assets of this size and frequency can be complex and Venture 3D needed its delivery solution to be both reliable and effortless for its production partners. Media Shuttle's onboard checkpoint restart feature automatically retries or resumes transfers if they are interrupted for any reason, and email notifications alert users when content is delivered. The system's graphical dashboard gives Venture 3D complete visibility into all file transfer activity, including average transfer rate, file size and speed.
"The notification feature was a great selling point for us as it takes the onus off the client and makes Venture 3D a desirable collaboration partner," Cogan continued. "Media Shuttle gives us the freedom to work with partners of our choosing and allows us to work globally regardless of location and file size. Additionally, we can now work with the multiple offices of our partners in the region -- essentially anyone who needs to partner with us -- easily without delays or limitations."
The newest addition to Signiant's portfolio of accelerated file transfer solutions, Media Shuttle provides an effective alternative to FTP and public file sharing solutions -- without associated file size constraints or security risks. Media Shuttle's hybrid SaaS architecture lets users access fast file transfer capabilities through a simple interface in the cloud while maintaining the file cache within the secure control of their own network. Unlike other solutions, Media Shuttle gives IT the power to determine where content is stored -- on private networks or in the cloud -- and how network resources should be allocated for maximum enterprise efficiency. A flexible subscription-based pricing model makes Media Shuttle the ideal solution for project-based initiatives or enterprises looking to scale for demand.
"Venture 3D is leading the fast-growing market of 3D conversion and with Media Shuttle we are able to stay on the cutting-edge by having the most sophisticated solutions available to ourselves and our partners," said Cogan. "Being able to defy the constraints of file size and distance and instead focus on creative collaboration we are able to perfect our specialty and in turn, advance the industry."

Danniella Westbrook 'very poorly' with blood infection
- Bang Showbiz
- 4 August 2016
Danniella Westbrook has revealed she's been in hospital with a blood infection
Danniella Westbrook is "very poorly" with a blood infection. The former 'EastEnders' star has sparked concern for her health after she took to Twitter to reveal she's spent time in hospital because she has a form of septicaemia.
The 42-year-old actress - who presented police with evidence she is being stalked last month - wrote on Wednesday (03.04.16) night: "I have an infection in my blood I'm very poorly! I have been in hospital YES! And this stalker s**t, @kentpolicemed still waiting 4 help!! (sic)"
Danniella - who has battled with cocaine addiction in the past - squashed rumours she'd relapsed and also claimed her online account had been hacked by a "sick" individual.
She wrote: "Who ever is on my Twitter your SICK IM NOT ON DRUGS! I'm VERY ILL WITH A BLOOD INFECTION @kentpolicemed Stop this (sic)"
The blonde star has now been left with no choice but to close her account on the social networking site because she can't deal with the stress of her alleged stalker.
She explained: "OK SO YOU LEAVE ME NO OPTION BUT TO CLOSE MY TWITTER @kentpolicemed @Support #STALKED #HACKED (sic)"
In July, Danniella revealed she had received a torrent of disturbing messages from a twitter troll and branded the culprit a "stalker".
She attempted to have them brought to justice by naming and shaming them and in a plea for help, she wrote on Twitter: "Does anybody know this person who is contacting my family my kids all my insta followers. Harassing my kids etc? ... Anybody know this troll threatening myself my family my kids my followers police involved but share and message me if you know her she's one sick cookie."
Fans helped the actress - who has two children Jodie, 14, and Kai, 18 - identify the bully and she handed their details over to Kent Police.
Danniella previously tweeted: "Right off to police station with all the evidence I have on this stalker chick, time 2 stand up to bullies & let the police take control... (sic)"
