BOOM! Kids has done a bang-up job of rolling out books featuring readily accessible stories of the world-famous characters from the Pixar films, and "Finding Nemo" is no exception. Everything a new reader needs to know happens right here, no previous experience necessary. Except the "right here" of this issue drags on a bit.
Raicht and Smith do a good job of capturing the voices of the characters from the film, from Dory's eagerness and unmatched forgetfulness to Marlin's excessive need for rules and order. The story itself, however, seems formulaic and a bit stale. There's the requisite harrowing adventure, the embarrassing introduction to a new character and the not-quite-so-happy ending.
My expectations might have been set extremely high, but it truly is Pixar's fault that they are that high. Well, that combined with several issues of "The Incredibles" being co-penned Mark Waid. That said, this issue didn't actually disappoint me as such, so much as it didn't find its way to my expectations.
Taken as a comic primarily targeted for kids, this issue is good, but as an all ages read, it needs a little more oomph.
Jake Myler's art is well-suited to this story, and carries a coloring-book-worthy line quality to it. The characters here are unmistakable and the new characters introduced are well-defined from their first appearance and maintained masterfully throughout this issue. Considering those new characters are sea life, making this distinction early on is a sign of Myler's abilities. Myler throws some uncertainty into the shark scare, giving the attackers a less defined appearance and opening the scenes up by minimalizing the backgrounds and detail.
I like that BOOM! continues to push these Pixar characters into adventures our way, but some of the characters might be better served in limited doses, perhaps as back-ups in other stories, akin to the Pixar shorts that precede the feature films. Those shorts rarely enhance the story that follows, but can be enjoyed in their own for what they are.
This issue seemed like a shallow fish tank for me; Perhaps "Nemo" would be more enjoyable as a series of shorter tales.

To answer this question, it's probably best that I share with you a defining moment, and a resulting "compelling story", that brought me to where I am today – coaching people like you on exactly what to do to turn their pain into peace, live their lives by design instead of by default, wherefore they fall in love with themselves and with life.
That defining moment in my life happened when I was 12. I was being sexually abused on a daily basis by my stepfather which lasted for 5 year. I remember being really confused, wanting to end the suffering and many times I didn't see the light at the end of the tunnel; howbeit, I didn't want to DIE.
Something deep inside me was whispering to hold on. When I turned 17, I got my first summer job and with my first pay check, I left. I left my abusive step-dad even though I was scared as hell. My mother had left two years previous to that, leaving me to live alone with this man. She didn't know how to protect me and didn't know how to shield herself from the unbearable pain of being unimaginably betrayed for a second time by a man she thought she could trust and love.
I then I registered to an english college, and immersed myself in an English community because I already had my mind set that I would not to spend the rest of my life in Quebec only speaking French.
The world was calling me and I was answering the call.
I graduated from college, got a job, fell in "love", got into a relationship and became pregnant. Fast forward 7 years later, I woke up on my 30th birthday and realized I had created the exact same cycle of abuse and dysfunction in my relationship that I had with my father and step-father. In that finite moment, I knew I had to leave. Within 3 weeks, I was gone; I left with nothing else but me and my daughter and the clothes on our backs, for I knew that if I wanted to live to be 31, there was no other way. I was terrified, insecure, broken on so many levels, depressed, unhealthy, morbidly obese and I felt very ALONE.
Throughout my life I have found the COURAGE to not settle for anything less than what I deserve. I've released over 100 lbs, I was medically released from the Canadian Forces, and later on invited as an honoured guest at an International Women's Day event to speak on the power of self-love and forgiveness (see my testimonials). In 2013, I once and for all left the corporate world as a North-American software trainer, and came out of the "Spiritual Closet" with Open Heart Soulutions.
Now I coach men and women on how to overcome life's challenges, turn their pain into peace and LOVE every minute of life. I've led healing and transformational retreats in Canada(2013), Dominica(2014) and Bali(December 2015), and facilitated healing heART's workshops and programs for women who are looking to find peace again through the turmoil in their lives.
from my soul to yours,
with love, light and peace,

Half of all of New England's creative jobs are in Massachusetts
Of the 502K jobs in Massachusetts, 33,500 are in creative fields like art and design workers, media and communication workers, entertainers and performers, photographers, and musicians (and so many more!).
¼ of all creative workers and ⅓ of artists are self-employed, whereas only 10% of New England's overall workforce is!
Misconceptions about the value of creativity abound. Creatives are asked to create for "exposure" instead of being paid for their work. We're here to remind Creatives their work is valuable and that there are ways to be paid for their creations. Of course some forms of exposure are key to any Creative's growth within their field, but there is a point at which being paid for one's work supersedes gaining a social media following or growing one's email list - and we're here to help.
Creativity is an essential part of a healthy ecosystem. Creatives to play a key role in determining where we all want to live, work, and visit. The best places in Massachusetts - or anywhere - are those destinations with creative aspects to their businesses, public art displays, arts festivals, and other creative avenues. We help connect Creatives find the best path to displaying their creative works - and finding ways to financially support their creative works.
Arts & Culture are essential to a functioning society because they play a vital role in enriching our lives and challenging our perspectives. We've built a Creative Collective to help support local Creatives find ways to build support around their creations - from local play companies, to lighting and behind the scenes work, to writers, to graphic design, whatever their Creative ventures are, we've built a network for creative ideas to flow and grow.
Project Lead
When developing our company, Intramersive, we were faced with the issue of finding a way to describe our work in an emerging market unfamiliar to Salem, the North Shore, and even Boston. We immediately looked to the Creative Collective for advice, and got far more than we had ever anticipated. When it came to marketing our first show, Daemonologie, Creative Collective worked tirelessly to help us get our show information out to potentially interested attendees. From attending our rehearsals to have photo shoots with our actors, to promoting us on websites, blogs, and social media to boost our credibility online – Creative Collective gave us the boost most new companies could only wish for.
Owner and Editor, writer – Amber Newburry
Creative Collective has been an essential ally to FunDead Publications. In 2016, FunDead was a brand-new, budding Salem publishing company with a very small, but loyal following. Creative Collective was key in shining a light on us to their many local, and not-so-local, followers. We were able to expand our audience by utilizing the Creative Collective social media platforms to reach new readers. Thanks to Creative Collective, we added hundreds of new followers to our own social media and saw exponential growth in our writing submission numbers.
"I am so appreciative of Creative Collective and all the opportunities they create for local artists like myself. Their team of inspiring individuals consistently thinks outside the box, and they do such an amazing job of fostering the art culture in the area. I've been a native of the North Shore all my life, and I can't help but wonder what we did without Creative Collective all those years. The city has become a hot spot for creative culture, and we have the hard-working, talented people at Creative Salem to thank for much of that. So thanks, Creative Collective. Thank you for supporting art, for supporting music, for supporting the community of thinkers and dreamers and idealists here in Salem. You're the best."
Alyssa Conary – Namesake historical society for Salem, cultural advocates
"As a historian starting up a new non-profit in the city, the help and support I've received from John & Creative Collective has been invaluable. I honestly believe that my organization wouldn't be as far along as it is without a leg-up from Creative Collective. CC has also been a supporter of my freelance music career. Through them, I've been connected to people and places and booked actual paying gigs. CC is what creatives in the city have always needed but never had. It's a whole new game now."
January O'Neil - Executive Director
With their resources, connections, creative spirit, and unwavering support, Creative Collective has been invaluable to the growth and development of the Massachusetts Poetry Festival in Salem. Their outreach is phenomenal. Poets and writers typically work alone, so the festival brings together this community for a glorious weekend of words in Salem. John Andrews and his team knows the landscape—digitally and locally. They have the strategies and skills to build and maintain a diverse and inclusive following, and to help a grassroots org like ours achieve national prominence. We wouldn't be where we are today without the innovation and creative vision that Creative Collective brings to the table. Every. Single. Time.
Joe DeSimone - Owner
" Creative Collective has been outstanding in helping our new fitness facility reach our potential customers throughout the community. They are by far the best investment we have made for growing our business and our relationships. If you're trying to grow a business in the North Shore I highly recommend you work with Creative Collective. "
Chrissy Vaccaro - Owner
I am over the moon to be a part of the Creative Collective with both my small businesses: Rebel Yell Yoga, and The Chaos Factor. My business partner, Lauren Recchia and I cannot say enough good things about the staff and the mission! We put together our first event with Creative Collective for April and the event sold out in less than 24 hours. Its so amazing to be part of a creative and supportive community!
As part of the Essex County Community Foundations 'Creative County Initiative" we are leading a project to build the first county wide events calendar and online platform.
A regional online website and calendar will allow artists and organizations to promote their events and activities directly to the general public. This platform will foster resource sharing and communication across the arts community: public art forums, resource tools, classifieds and more.
www.EssexCountyCreates.org will launch in April 2018.

Body temperature, cool compress, febrile seizure, fever of unknown origin, hyperthermia, immune response, infection, pyrogens, sponge bath.
A fever is an increase in normal body temperature. Healthy individuals typically have a body temperature of about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. The body temperature fluctuates by about one degree throughout the day. However, if a person's body temperature increases more than it normally does throughout the day, he/she has a fever. A person can usually recognize when he/she has a fever because it often causes symptoms, such as chills or sweating.
A fever is considered a sign of an underlying medical problem. Most fevers are caused by infections, such as the flu, pneumonia, or strep throat. Other common causes include extreme sunburn, exposure to hot environments, and certain medications. In rare cases, there may be no known underlying cause.
Fevers are usually not dangerous for adults, unless they are 103 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. For infants and very young children, even a slight increase in body temperature may indicate a serious infection. If a baby younger than 12 months old has a temperature higher than 100 degrees, a healthcare provider should be consulted immediately. Adults and children who have temperatures higher than 102 degrees that are not responding to medications, such as ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®), aspirin, or acetaminophen (Tylenol®), should visit their doctors.
Most fevers go away in a few days even without treatment. Additional treatments, such as antibiotics, may be necessary depending on the underlying cause of the fever.
Signs and symptoms
: The duration and severity of a fever vary, depending on the cause. Patients who have a fever may experience chills, increased sweating, shivering, and warm skin.
Additional symptoms
: Additional symptoms may also be present, depending on the cause. For instance, if a viral infection, such as the flu, is causing a fever, additional symptoms may include a runny nose, sore throat, headache, aching joints and muscles, nausea, and vomiting. Symptoms of hyperthermia may include confusion, lethargy, or even coma. In some cases, people suffer from hyperthermia may also have an extremely high body temperature without the ability to sweat.
Measuring body temperature
: A thermometer is used to measure a person's body temperature. The thermometer should be cleaned with warm soapy water or rubbing alcohol before and after using. If a person is using a glass thermometer, he/she should shake the thermometer until it reads 95 degrees Fahrenheit or less. The temperature can be taken in the mouth, rectum, ear, or under the arm.
To take a person's temperature by mouth, place the thermometer under the tongue and close the mouth for three minutes.
Body temperature may also be measured with a rectal thermometer. This method is typically used for infants and small children who cannot safely hold thermometers in their mouths. Petroleum jelly should be applied to the bulb of the thermometer. It should then be inserted about one-half to one inch into the child's anal canal. The thermometer is then removed after three minutes.
Body temperature may also be measured by placing a thermometer under the armpit for five minutes. However, this is considered the least accurate method.
A special ear thermometer may also be used. The digital device works by detecting infrared radiation from the ear drum.
When to visit a doctor
: If a baby younger than 12 months old has a temperature higher than 100 degrees, a healthcare provider should be consulted immediately. Adults and children who have temperatures higher than 102 degrees that are not responding to medications, such as ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®), aspirin, or acetaminophen (Tylenol®), should visit their doctors.
A doctor can easily identify a fever after taking a person's body temperature with a thermometer. However, because it is a symptom of an underlying medical condition, the cause must be identified in order to treat the patient. During a physical examination, a healthcare provider will take a careful medical and social history to determine the underlying cause. If a patient is taking a medication that is known to cause fevers as a side effect, the medication is usually the suspected cause of the fever. Medical tests may also be necessary.
Additional tests
: Blood tests may be performed to determine if an infection is causing a fever. Individuals with infections will have a high level of white blood cells, which fight against disease and infection. Samples of the patient's mucus, urine, blood, stools, and/or cerebrospinal fluid may also be taken to determine if an infection is present.
: People who have fevers may experience complications. However, complications are usually the result of the underlying cause of the fever, such as an infection.
: Although dehydration is not a direct complication of a fever, it may occur if a person has an infection and experiences diarrhea and vomiting. In such cases, the body loses fluids and electrolytes. Therefore, people who are vomiting or have diarrhea are encouraged to drink plenty of water. Patients may also benefit from drinks that contain electrolytes, including Pediatric Electrolyte®, Pedialyte®, or Enfalyte®. Individuals should avoid diuretics, such as caffeine, because they worsen symptoms of dehydration.
Febrile seizure
: A febrile seizure occurs when an infant or young child develops a seizure or convulsions when he/she has a fever higher than 102 degrees Fahrenheit. Most febrile seizures are caused by viral upper respiratory infections, ear infections, or roseola. Symptoms may include shaking or jerking of the arms or legs, fixed stare, eyes rolling back, heavy breathing, drooling, and bluish skin. Patients who experience any of these symptoms should be taken to the emergency department of a nearby hospital immediately.
: If a person with hyperthermia does not seek medical treatment, the condition may progress to heatstroke. One complication of heatstroke is shock, which occurs when the body does not receive enough blood. Without immediate treatment, the organs may become damaged. In severe cases, heatstroke may result in coma or death if the patient is not treated.
Systemic infections
: If an infection is causing a fever and the person does not seek treatment, the infection may enter the bloodstream and spread to other areas of the body. If vital organs, such as the heart, lungs, or kidneys, become infected, it may lead to organ damage.
: Patients should take acetaminophen, aspirin, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and drink cool fluids to help reduce a fever. Although these do not treat the underlying cause of fever, they will minimize symptoms until the underlying cause is effectively treated. Treatment depends on the underlying cause. If it is suspected that the fever is a side effect of medication, a doctor may recommend a different dose or medication. However, individuals should not change their medications or doses unless they talk with their doctors first.
Cool compress
: A cool compress may be applied to affected areas of the skin to help reduce symptoms of a fever.
Cool liquids
: Drinking cool liquids may help relieve symptoms of fever. Fluids, such as water or drinks that contain electrolytes, including Pediatric Electrolyte®, Pedialyte®, or Enfalyte®, are often recommended because they also help prevent dehydration. However, drinking cool fluids does not treat the underlying cause of the fever.
Sponge bath
: A five- to 10-minute sponge bath of lukewarm water may help bring a high temperature down. This cools the skin and may help reduce the body's internal temperature. A sponge bath is most effective if it is used shortly after a dosage of acetaminophen or ibuprofen is given because the medication can work to keep the fever down after the bath takes effect.
Children with fevers who shiver during a bath should be removed from the bath and dried. In such cases, the shivering raises the body's internal temperature because shaking muscles generate heat. If the fever does not improve or the child experiences symptoms of a febrile seizure, seek immediate medical care.
Acetaminophen, aspirin, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
: Patients who have fevers may take acetaminophen, aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol®), or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®), to reduce a fever before treatment is started. These medications are only recommended for the treatment of fevers that are higher than 102 degrees Fahrenheit.
Avoid aspirin in children because it may cause serious side effects, including Reye's syndrome, a life-threatening condition that causes brain inflammation and vomiting.
: Medications called antimicrobials are used to treat infections, a common cause of fevers. Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections, anti-fungals are used to treat fungal infections, antivirals are used to treat viral infections, and anti-parasitics are used to treat parasitic infections. The exact type, dose, and duration of treatment depend on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the patient's age and overall health.
Integrative therapies
Unclear or conflicting scientific evidence
: Chinese studies have suggested that bupleurum may be helpful for reducing fever. However, additional study is needed to draw a firm conclusion about safety and effectiveness. In traditional Chinese medicine, bupleurum is often used in combination with other herbs.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to bupleurum, Apiaceae or Umbelliferae (carrot) families, snakeroot, cow parsnip, or poison hemlock. Use cautiously if operating motor vehicles or hazardous machinery. Use cautiously with low blood pressure, diabetes, or edema. Use cautiously with a history of bleeding, hemostatic disorders, or drug-related hemostatic disorders. Use cautiously if taking blood thinners. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
: Clove is commonly used as a fragrant or flavoring agent. There is a risk of blindness if it comes in contact with the eyes. Clove oil (eugenol) has been used for its analgesic (pain-relieving), local anesthetic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects. Early studies suggest that clove may lower fever, but reliable human studies are currently unavailable.
Avoid if allergic to clove, eugenol, or some licorice products or tobacco (clove cigarette) products. Use cautiously if allergic to Balsam of Peru. Avoid with a history of seizures, stroke, or liver damage. Use cautiously if taking medications that treat diabetes. Use cautiously with diabetes, low blood sugar levels, bleeding problems, or impotence. Stop use two weeks before and immediately after surgery/dental/diagnostic procedures with bleeding risks. Use cautiously if driving or operating machinery. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Traditional or theoretical uses lacking sufficient evidence
: The aconite plant grows in rocky areas. It is often found in the mountainous woodlands of many parts of Europe, especially France, Austria, Germany, and Denmark. It has been suggested that aconite may help reduce the symptoms of fevers. Homeopaths often prescribe aconite preparations at the start of a fever. However, studies are currently lacking in this area.
Aconite is highly toxic and is not safe for human consumption. Avoid with heart disease, irregular heartbeat, hemodynamic instability (abnormal blood flow), or gastrointestinal disorders (such as ulcers, reflux esophagitis, ulcerative colitis, spastic colitis, or diverticulosis). Use cautiously with diabetes or suicidal tendencies. Avoid if younger than 18 years old due to a lack of safety evidence. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
: Agrimony was one of the most famous vulnerary herbs used by the Anglo-Saxons. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties. It has been suggested, but not scientifically proven, that agrimony may help reduce fever.
Avoid if allergic to agrimony or related species. When used as recommended, agrimony is considered to be safe. Use cautiously with bleeding disorders. Use cautiously if taking drugs that increase the risk of bleeding or blood pressure-lowering agents. Avoid with diarrhea caused by an underlying illness. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding due to a lack of safety evidence.
: Licorice is harvested from the root and dried rhizomes of the low-growing shrub
Glycyrrhiza glabra
. Historically, licorice has been used to reduce fever. Some cultures have made a tea out of the licorice root to reduce a person's body temperature. However, until studies are performed in humans, it remains unknown if licorice can effectively reduce fevers.
Avoid if allergic to licorice, any component of licorice, or any member of the Fabaceae (Leguminosae) plant family. Avoid with congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, fluid retention, high blood pressure, or hormonal abnormalities. Avoid if taking diuretics. Licorice may cause abnormally low testosterone levels in men or high prolactin or estrogen levels in women. This may make it difficult to become pregnant and may cause menstrual abnormalities in women.
: Rhubarb is an herb that is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Traditionally, rhubarb has been used to treat fever. Until studies are performed, it remains unknown if rhubarb can help reduce fevers in humans.
Avoid if allergic to rhubarb, its constituents, or related plants from the Polygonaceae family. Avoid using rhubarb for more than two weeks. Avoid with atony (lack of muscle tone), colitis, Crohn's disease, dehydration with electrolyte depletion, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, insufficient liver function, intestinal obstruction, ileus, irritable bowel syndrome, menstruation, pre-eclampsia, renal disorders, ulcerative colitis, and urinary problems. Avoid handling rhubarb leaves, as they may cause contact dermatitis. Avoid rhubarb in children younger than 12 years old due to water depletion. Use cautiously with bleeding disorders, cardiac conditions, constipation, history of kidney stones, or thin or brittle bones. Use cautiously if taking anticoagulants, anti-psychotic drugs, or oral drugs, herbs, or supplements (including calcium, iron, and zinc). Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
: Valerian is an herb native to Europe and Asia. Today, the herb grows in most parts of the world. It is unclear if valerian can help treat fevers. Studies have not been performed to determine if this is a safe and effective fever treatment.
Use cautiously if allergic to valerian or other members of the Valerianaceae
family. Use cautiously with livers disorders. Use cautiously two weeks before surgery. Avoid if driving or operating heavy machinery, as it may cause drowsiness. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
People can take precautions to avoid contracting infections that may cause fevers. Individuals should regularly wash their hands with soap and warm water. This is especially important after using the bathroom, before eating food, and after touching objects that may contain disease-causing germs. Avoiding close contact with people who have contagious illnesses may also help reduce the risk of contacting infections. Patients are also encouraged to talk with their doctors about recommended immunizations, such as the flu shot.
Individuals should minimize exposure to ultraviolet light and use sunblock when they are exposed to sunlight for prolonged periods of time. This helps reduce the risk of sunburn, which may cause fevers.

: A fever is usually a sign of an underlying medical condition. Below are some of the most common causes of fevers.
: Most fevers are symptoms of an underlying viral or bacterial infection in the body. However, any type of infection, including fungal and parasitic infections, may cause fevers.
As the immune cells in the body fight off an infection, they generate heat, which leads to an increase in body temperature. Normally, part of the brain, called the hypothalamus, regulates the body's temperature. However, when an infection is present, substances called pyrogens prevent the brain from properly controlling the body's temperature. This is actually considered a positive response because the viruses that cause colds and other infections thrive in cool temperatures.
Extreme sunburn
: Severe sunburn may cause a fever and chills.
Exposure to hot environments
: Some people may develop a fever when the body becomes overheated. This condition, called hyperthermia, often occurs as a result of vigorous exercise or after exposure to extremely hot or humid weather. Hyperthermia is treated differently than other causes of fever. The affected person must be cooled immediately. The advanced stages of hyperthermia are commonly called heatstroke or sunstroke.
: A fever may be a side effect of certain medications, such as antibiotics, blood pressure-lowering drugs, antidepressants, antihistamines, and drugs used to treat seizures. Some infants and young children develop fevers after receiving routine immunizations, such as the diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine.
Unknown origin
: In some cases, there is no known cause of a fever. If a person has a body temperature higher than 100.9 degrees Fahrenheit with no known cause, a doctor may diagnose the condition as "fever of unknown origin." In such cases, treatment focuses on reducing the fever, rather than the underlying cause.

Hong Hai (1.5mb) (requires Flash)
Ever wondered what it's like to be a refugee? Recreate the journey of the Hong Hai - the first case of refugee 'boat people' landing on Australia's shores.
For 8-12 year olds.
By visiting a selection of stopping points on the 52-day journey of the Hong Hai, you recreate the dramatic and extraordinary journey of this Vietnamese fishing vessel. The actual journey occurred in 1978 and was the first case of refugee 'boat people' landing on Australia's shores.
At each stopping point you find different objects that were retrieved from the Hong Hai after its arrival in Australia. These objects include a wooden Ba Cau shrine, a Rado watch used for navigation, a guitar, playing cards and the captain's binoculars.
Collect the items you see at the stopping points to create your own exhibit about this landmark refugee experience. Add your own captions to objects and order them according to one of two themes: Danger and hardship or Courage, determination and hope.
Interacting with the objects will help you gain insight into the culture, beliefs and experiences of the refugee passengers.
Objects from the Museum's collection used in the interactive include the original Hong Hai fishing vessel, the Ba Cau Shrine and some Russian binoculars.

Paving the way in Tompkins Square
Neighbors and friends of Tompkins Square Park will gather around the Temperance Fountain in the park at 1 p.m. Sat. Jan. 28 to celebrate the second setting of 50 personal paving stones in the Make Your Mark in the Park program.
The program, initiated by the East Village Parks Conservancy and implemented by the city Department of Parks and Recreation, allows anyone or any group to have an 8-inch hexagonal granite paver with up to 70 characters cut into it and set in the ground around the fountain for a $250 donation.
The donation, minus the cost of the 2-inch-thick stone paver and the engraving, benefits Tompkins Square Park. The first 24 granite hexagons were set around the Temperance Fountain to replace existing asphalt pavers last May.

(JollofNews) – Nigeria's ambassador to the US has criticised Washington for refusing to sell his government "lethal" weapons to fight militant Islamists.
Nigeria needed support to deliver the "killer punch", not "light jabs" against the Boko Haram group, Adebowale Ibidapo Adefuye said.
His comments came as the militants seized the north-eastern Mahia town.
The US has previously ruled out heavily arming the Nigerian military because of its alleged poor human rights record.
Meanwhile, Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan has formally declared himself as the governing People's Democratic Party's candidate (PDP) presidential candidate for February's election at a colourful ceremony in the capital, Abuja.
He called for a minute of silence for the 46 teenage boys who were killed in Monday's suicide bombing at a school in Potiskum town in Yobe, one of the three north-eastern states under a state of emergency because of Boko Haram's insurgency.
The attack has highlighted the depth of the crisis escalating in the north-east, the BBC's Nigeria correspondent Will Ross reports.
But the politicians of all parties appear more focused on the pursuit of power in oil-rich Nigeria and that is playing right into the hands of Boko Haram, he says.
Government soldiers have been accused by rights groups of carrying out many atrocities, including torturing and executing suspects.
US laws ban the sale of lethal weapons to countries whose military are accused of gross human rights abuses.
But Mr Adefuye said the accusations were based on "half-truths", rumours and exaggerated accounts, which were being spread by political opponents ahead of the elections.
"The US government has up till today refused to grant Nigeria's request to purchase lethal equipment that would have brought down the terrorists within a short time," Mr Adefuye told members of the Washington-based Council on Foreign Relations.
"We find it difficult to understand how and why, in spite of the US presence in Nigeria with their sophisticated military technology, Boko Haram should be expanding and becoming more deadly," he added.
Mr Adefuye said Boko Haram was Nigeria's equivalent of the Islamic State group, and threatened the nation's "territorial integrity".
"There is no use giving us the type of support that enables us to deliver light jabs to the terrorists when what we need to give them is the killer punch," he said.
"A friend in need is a friend indeed. The true test of friendship is in times of adversity," he added.
Boko Haram has recently changed tactics, focusing on holding on to territory rather than launching hit-and-run raids.
It has now captured Mahia to add to the territory the group already controls, our reporter says.
It is a small town near Mubi, the second largest town in Adamawa state, which Boko Haram last week renamed Madinatul Islam – City of Islam.
In April, Boko Haram sparked global outrage by abducting more than 200 girls from a boarding school in Chibok town in Borno state.
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has dismissed government claims to have agreed a ceasefire, under which the girls would be released.
He says the children have converted to Islam, are learning to memorise the Koran and have been married off.
The US, China, UK and Israel had promised to help Nigeria track down the girls.

The Wonder Seed Hemp Hand Cream – FULL SIZE! Value $13
Small Keys Beauty Cocoa Mint Soap – FULLS SIZE! Value $5
This formula of this hand cream is on the thinner side – more like a lotion. I really like it though. It absorbs quickly and smells just like lavender. This cocoa mint soap smells wonderful too!

(Reuters) - A freight train derailed in Pittsburgh on Thursday and emergency crews were called, but there were no injuries and no hazardous materials involved, a railway spokesman said.
Investigators were still trying to determine how the Allegheny Valley Railroad train went off the tracks on Thursday morning, a spokesman for Carload Express, which owns the railroad, told Reuters.
About 10 train cars derailed when the train was negotiating a curve in the tracks, local media reported.
Pittsburgh is on the opposite end of Pennsylvania from Philadelphia, where an Amtrak train derailed on Tuesday night, resulting in seven deaths and scores of injuries.

Ed note: This article was originally published on Glasstire on June 5, 2017.
When I was around 12, my classmates and I were asked to write a report on a "great person" of our choosing. Most kids picked the usual candidates: Albert Einstein, Neil Armstrong, etc. But I, for some baffling reason, picked the Confederate general Stonewall Jackson. A little context: I was raised in a new-age meditation community in rural Iowa. I had not been indoctrinated in Lost Cause propaganda by my parents or community, and the town I lived in, though provincial and filled with plenty of pinch-faced, un-fun white people, was not saturated with Stars and Bars regalia. Somehow, through ambient osmosis, the notion that Stonewall Jackson was a "great man" still reached me and presented itself as self-evident. I was relatively precocious and knew a fair amount about World War II and the Vietnam War, but the American Civil War was to me only a nebulous elegy. I had a vague sense that it involved "states' rights," that "brother had fought brother," that the south had suffered enormously, and that southerners were a proud and genteel people. This impoverished understanding remained until I took a particularly memorable Civil War class in college that demonstrated conclusively that the Confederacy had fought for objectively the worst cause in history: the endless preservation and expansion of a slave empire. In light of this revelation, the courtly manners of one revered general or tactical darling or another seems frankly irrelevant. The Nazis were sharp dressers, punctual, and exceedingly focused—all qualities considered top virtues in today's neoliberal, airport-bookstore world—and yet most people don't revere the Third Reich with piquant melancholy.
Yet in the year 2017, a shocking number of (mainly white) Americans still feel an amorphous, conflicted tenderness towards the Confederacy. Few openly admit supporting the enslavement of black people through a virulent system of paranoid white supremacy or even longing for the days of Jim Crow apartheid. They just… well, there's an ineffable quality to it, the nostalgia depicted by 401k and erectile dysfunction commercials intermingled with a stirring scene in a conservative morality play in which a weary schoolteacher disperses some "thugs." If you talk to these same people about this frankly, their responses will likely drift into choppy waters of "the natural order of things" before the topic abruptly changes. This is partly a lingering result of by far the most successful media propaganda campaign in history. Nothing else really comes close.
Most nations treat their egregious past sins the way an evangelical Christian dad would treat an infidelity—with outright denial or really not wanting to talk about it (see Turkey and the Armenian Genocide and China and Tiananmen Square, respectively). But in the American South, there are thousands of parks, monuments, and streets named after Confederate figures. Legendary bands' most beloved songs un-ironically celebrate the Confederate way of life. Gone With the Wind, the most popular movie of all time in terms of attendance, is a far more effective and lasting piece of propaganda than Triumph of the Will. One of the best-selling novels of the last 20 years, Cold Mountain, is a romantic antebellum tragedy steeped in sacrifice and dignity. The ideological resilience of "the Lost Cause," holding that the Confederacy was noble and brave and deeply wronged, has become like white noise, chemtrails, or the static coming off of power lines. Finally in the last couple years, due to the heroic efforts of local activists and rising uneasiness over Confederate celebration after the horrific massacre of black worshippers at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church by the white supremacist Dylann Roof, the flood is beginning to be turned back.
I attended the University of Texas at Austin. Like most large, historical campuses, it was besotted by larger-than-life bronze statues of white men in a range of either bulbous or asymmetrical body shapes. The statues were mainly of Texan men, powerful men. Men who were simultaneously the governor and also the owner of a railroad. Men who wore their pants high to hide their girth; men who, in all likelihood, had weapons-grade halitosis. Men poetically named Hogg who cruelly named their daughters Ima in a fit of Tennessee Williams "Big Daddy" elan. This type of man still generally runs things, the chief difference now being improved dental hygiene and a revolutionary exercise program called P90X created by failed stand-up comedian Tony Horton. Turgid monuments to such men are so numerous that they will likely remain until their heads are bobbing in the rising sea. The one that stood out was of Confederate president Jefferson Davis, a man of relentless advocacy for slavery (and a participant, too: in 1860 he owned 113 slaves). Why was Davis looking over the most picturesque lawn on campus? He wasn't even from Texas; he was from Mississippi. Eventually, after impressive student protests, his statue was removed in 2015 and relocated to the Briscoe Museum, but the removal was a huge deal. Different options were evaluated by "experts," and the Sons of Confederate Veterans—a sort of stress-release LARP for southern men enraged by the tyranny of family court—filed legal actions. I remember wondering whether it would be like this, if not worse, for every other Confederate monument that came down. After all, this one wasn't even that old, erected in 1933 thanks to the efforts of George Littlefield, one of those southern titans who aged into a disapproving egg with a goatee. And it was, frankly, a terrible statue. It made Davis look simply like a stern prick lecturing students on the importance of getting up early. If this was the reaction for a modern, misplaced, glum statue, what would the result be when a more famous Confederate shrine was removed?
The answer: way drunker and more intense. Over the past few weeks, New Orleans has taken down four Confederate monuments: one of P.G.T. Beauregard (enormous statue of him on horseback, very aggressive vibe); one of Jefferson Davis (weirdly louche this time, leaning on a column with his hand limply outstretched, as if upon finally accepting that the war was lost he took a drop of laudanum and listened to This Mortal Coil's It'll End in Tears); an especially creepy white pillar erected in the 1890s after some "triumphant" campaign of racial terror by shitfaced, sexually-paranoid southern bros; and finally, Robert E. Lee, in Lee Circle, posed in a dignified military repose on a tall marble pillar—out of reach, sanctified. The reaction—even when the scary white supremacist phallus came down—was pure rage. The city had to do the removals suddenly in the middle of the night, and the workers' faces had to be covered because of incessant death threats. By the time they took down Lee, strategically the last to go, the protestors were somewhat exhausted. I imagine it had been an emotional couple of weeks in which their hangovers had grown increasingly metaphysical.
When I visited Lee Circle a couple of weeks ago, the pillar stood bare, its plaque removed, the monument charged with negative space. Apparently, there are no plans to replace it except with some vague "water features." The same is true for the others, which, given the consensus that replacements would've required, makes a certain amount of sense. Still, drawing from New Orleans' rich musical tradition could be so fruitful. P.G.T. Beauregard could be replaced with a beaming Allen Toussaint on a horse, riding into town to lay down an icy piano line. Jefferson Davis could be replaced by a resplendent Doctor John leaning on a column, his hand outstretched holding a Gris-gris bag. And Lee Circle could be renamed Weezy Circle, with a to-scale, five-foot two-inch bronze Lil Wayne placed atop the pedestal coated in a reflective purple lacquer, so he would appear distant, dazzling, and inscrutable. In fact, given that the Confederacy, and by extension slavery, are inarguably the worst aspects of the American South, while the music that arose from the region is amongst the best, replacing all Confederate monuments, street names, school names, and so on with the names of Southern musicians presents no downside. Alas, we are far, far away from that dream. The mere removal is a miracle and the shrieking chorus against their removal is not subsiding.
The defenses of the monuments are two-pronged. The more respectable side emerges from New York Times op-eds by shaggy philosophy professors and several blog posts by American Conservative writer Rod Dreher (one of those exceedingly-irritating "smart" conservatives whom the New Yorker loves to profile, a vain little dandy with a penchant for leather jackets, spiked hair, pained R.E.M. fandom, and insipid references to the loss of our shared "caritas"). This side's argument boils down to a view of the monuments' removal as the erasure of history. To which I reply: That is utter nonsense. The post-war push of dewy pro-Confederate media has not made anyone more aware of the true history of the Civil War or our nation's history of slavery; it has served as a canopy of gauzy Spanish moss on America's collective mind. There simply are not enough patient, conservative dads out there to plaintively explain to impressionable youths that even though Robert E. Lee was noble, slavery was wrong. Confederate monuments themselves erase history.
The other prong emerges from the Atchafalaya Basin-sized fever swamp of the MRA, red-pill, alt-right mole people online and off, who claim that taking down the monuments is just the first step in criminalizing whiteness and ushering in reverse apartheid. If you actually believe this, you are most likely irredeemably racist, your own Lost Cause, living in the perpetual racial guerilla war in your head. Alternatively, perhaps your rage towards the symbolic demolition of long-dead sociopaths who lived a demented Camelot fantasia built on the greatest cruelty humans ever conceived stems from some other personal frustration, e.g. a third divorce, mounting child support payments, sciatic nerve pain, or the failure of your dream to open a paintball supplies store.
After the removal of the monuments in New Orleans, the city's mayor, Mitch Landrieu, gave an emotional and moving speech arguing for the actions' necessity. While the speech was widely praised, the reactionary hysteria in the south has continued to flare. The governor of Alabama recently signed a bill forbidding any Confederate monument from being removed, ever. And the Sons of Confederate Veterans have pledged that they will do "whatever" is necessary to protect still-standing monuments. I glumly joked with a friend that our second Civil War would be over the removal of monuments to the first Civil War.
All of this feels simultaneously hopeful and excruciating. An especially galling political cliché, usually deployed by conservatives and centrist liberals, is that "we need to have a frank discussion about race." But as thinkers like Malcolm X and James Baldwin argued more than 50 years ago, this discussion should really be among white people. And it is an endlessly exhausting one, because we whites are trapped in a garden, hundreds of years old, built by those grotesquely rich, imperious men who, as James McPherson writes in his masterpiece Battle Cry of Freedom, "liked old things, old ways." So we have thus far been doomed to wander the maze of the garden, singing the same songs, telling the same stories. The garden is walled, the maze has no exit, and the only way to escape is to dismantle it.

I do think putting the sculptures in museums seems to be a good balance or compromise, then you are preserving the history associated with the works and giving due to the artists while allowing it to have a more meaningful and truthful context. Though I doubt museums can realistically take them all and how are cities going to be able to afford to replace them with new public art?
Great read, Neil. Those who would appeal to some concept of an essential "history" are seemingly unaware that we work daily to construct our various histories, they are always under negotiation. I would argue as you do that these monuments erase history, or at least obscure it by memorializing individuals that render distorted narratives. That said, I wouldn't be against them staying put if work was done to tell a more complete story. Within the larger context of slavery, sectionalism, free labor as THE basis of southern wealth and institutions, etc., these (crappy) statues could serve as perpetual reminders of our ability to deceive ourselves to justify hate and pathetic self-interest.
Very thought-provoking. I had an amazing conversation recently in St. Louis at the American Alliance of Museums Annual Meeting at which the conclusion was that the Civil War has *never actually ended*. An earlier-in-the-day keynote by Bryan Stevenson helped usher that notion into my head. It needs to end and it needs to end now.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday in a landmark gun rights case that could apply the Second Amendment's right to bear arms to both cities and states. Warren Richey reports for the Christian Science Monitor:
The US Supreme Court appears to be on verge of extending the constitutional protection of the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms to every jurisdiction in the nation.
During an hour-long oral argument at the high court on Tuesday, several justices exhibited a willingness to enforce their landmark 2008 gun-rights decision at the state and local level.
If they do so, the decision may doom not only the Chicago handgun ban at the center of Tuesday's case, but other handgun bans and some of the toughest state and local gun-control laws in the country.
The only remaining question in McDonald v. Chicago was which constitutional mechanism the majority justices might use to apply the 2008 holding to state and local governments. (For a preview of the case, click here.)
Two years ago, the high court recognized an individual right to possess handguns in the home for self defense. By a 5-to-4 vote, the court struck down a ban on handguns in Washington, D.C. That case was District of Columbia v. Heller.
Because the Second Amendment has never been applied to the states, the ruling could only be enforced against the national government and in federal enclaves like the District of Columbia.
A similar handgun ban is at issue in the Chicago case. But before judges can consider the constitutionality of the ban, the Supreme Court must decide whether the same Second Amendment rights it imposed in the Heller case will also apply in Chicago and across the country. (For Monitor commentary, click here.)
There are two possible ways for the high court to extend Second Amendment protections to state and local governments. Both are found within the text of the 14th Amendment.
Questions and comments by four of the justices who formed the five-justice majority in the Heller case suggest a preference for using the due-process clause of the 14th Amendment…

A brave South African student who couldn't stand a year extra in school fought to keep the only copy of her master's thesis during a robbery incident in Johannesburg on Tuesday.
The medical scientist who was walking home when the incident occurred told to BBC: "There's no way I will let them take it.' She said her actions were "not very smart" and advised others to give robbers what they ask for. "You can always write again," she said.
The attackers who were only able to take her lunch bag struggled tirelessly to get hold of the other bag containing the hard drive, but Ms. Ntusi refused to let go.
She said: "I was thinking about my masters. I'm almost done with what I'm writing, there's no way I will let them take it. "I was just pulling myself into a ball. They were trying to put me in the car, I think, but I made myself so heavy that they just gave up."
During the attack, one of the robbers pointed a gun at her head and repeatedly threatened to shoot her. But Ms. Ntusi held on as losing the thesis 'would have meant having to ask for an extension until next year, she said.
According to the 26-year-old "I really want to finish so badly, I want to do it now. Nothing got in the way of that, but it was very dangerous," she said.
Ms. Ntusi has since backed up her work and said she would not advise others to follow her example in case of such incident.
The Footage of the struggle was recorded on security cameras attached to nearby homes in the suburb of Auckland Park. The robbers were later arrested and found to be in possession of a gas gun.

I Fell for Le Labo's Santal 33 Just Like the Rest of the World and I Don't Care if That Makes Me a Sucker
I mean, even Justin frickin' BEIBER wears it.
I'm not quite sure why, but I hate (and I never use the word hate) vanilla perfumes. Or at least until recently I did.
Let me preface: My sister has terrible taste in fragrance. Every time I go home and sleep in her room I'm haunted by the smell of cheap, plasticky vanilla candles. I often end up sleeping on the couch.
I also had a childhood incident involving vanilla-heavy cake- and cookie-scented Lip Smackers; I tried to eat them.
Last Christmas, while visiting my parents in Vancouver, I stopped into The Cross, one of my favorite local stores, and bumped into a friend who works there. We perused and talked and sniffed about 100 candles--and then he led me to the perfume section.
"This is my absolute favorite," he said, reaching for a gorgeous blue bottle of Library of Flowers True Vanilla. I considered turning my nose away as the bottle came closer and closer, but I played along and took a deep sniff. Hmm, no nausea or disgust, I thought. So I took another sniff, and another, and... it was one of the best things I've ever smelled.
Of course, I wanted more. What other non-cake-y and surprisingly wonderful vanilla fragrances were out there, just waiting for me to scoop them up? I have smelled an awful lot of vanilla scents since that day at The Cross, some lovely, some headache-inducing. But a few very special bottles stood out.
1. MCMC Phoenix Perfume Oil
Phoenix is a beautiful melody of vanilla, neroli, flower, and peach. MCMC founder Anne Serrano-McClain formulated the scent to capture the essence of someone who floats through life and never comes when she's called, not unlike the mythical fire bird the fragrance is named after. I think it's enchanting, but it could use a bit more staying power.
2. Lavanila Laboratories Vanilla Coconut
Beauty bloggers LOVE Lavanila Vanilla Coconut, and it totally lives up the hype. A vegan, cruelty-free blend of Madagascar vanilla, Tahitian tahare flower, and young coconut, it has a tropical vibe that I just want to sink into. It's also vaguely reminiscent of sunscreen, if you, like me, are into that sort of thing.
3. Jo Malone Vanilla & Anise
I'd describe this as warm and classy. It's a grown-up vanilla, formulated with vanilla orchid, oaky caramel vanilla bourbon, and a touch of star anise. The sweetness is balanced by a subtle hint of licorice, which is quite beautiful.
4. Byredo Seven Veils
This is my second favorite vanilla fragrance--Library of Flowers is still number one. But this is like nothing I've ever smelled before. Among the notes are carrot, pimento berries, Tahitian vanilla flower, laurier rose, sandalwood, and vanilla bean. Think carrot cake--but made by a gorgeous witch.
5. Library of Flowers True Vanilla
If there were a vanilla fragrance Olympics, True Vanilla gets the gold. I've got the perfume, the shower gel, and the hand cream. The rest of the True Vanilla line sits high on my beauty wish list. With a twirl of bergamot, dark vanilla, and amber, the scent is smoky, sexy, and mysterious in all the right ways. It might just be my favorite fragrance, vanilla or otherwise.
What's your favorite vanilla fragrance? Better yet, what's the vanilla scent that made you HATE vanilla fragrances?

Ms. Kelly recently left Clairol after a transition period following its acquisition by Procter & Gamble Co. Her title will be senior VP-global client services director and she will report to Murray Dudgeon, operations director for Universal McCann Worldwide. Although Ms. Kelly's duties will cover global advertising for the marketer, her first task will be to integrate a North American team of media buyers and planners at the agency.
new structure
"This is a new AOR structure for J&J," said Robin Kent, chairman-CEO of Universal McCann Worldwide. "Peggy will sit in the middle and will have total management control of all things media for Johnson & Johnson."
Ms. Kelly will pull together all the existing J&J-focused staff at Universal, heavily represented in national broadcast, and will coordinate other services. For example, she will help integrate the efforts of Spotlight Presentations, J&J's programming business, which is currently operating out of Universal sibling Magna Global Entertainment.
On the marketer side, Ms. Kelly will work directly with Dawn Jacobs, VP-advertising at J&J, and Andrea Alstrup, corporate VP-advertising.
makes sense
"It makes sense to have one unit for us to go to," said Ms. Alstrup. "It will streamline the communication at Universal and at Johnson & Johnson. We have many brands in North America, Latin America, as well as Europe and Japan, and we just want to continue to be smart about what we are doing in all these places."
The formation of a dedicated J&J unit at Universal McCann follows a growing movement within huge media agencies to organize the accounts of their largest clients into units that are essentially autonomous agencies. The trend has been led by automakers such as General Motors Corp., whose $2.9 billion media-planning business is handled by GM Planworks, a unit of Bcom3 Group's media-buying powerhouse Starcom Worldwide and is gaining steam among other marketers. Universal McCann, for example, has started running its $500 million consolidated U.S. Sony Corp. business on an integrated basis led by George Hayes, chief operating officer, Local Communications, New York, a sibling Interpublic media agency.
Ms. Kelly was also VP-advertising services at Bristol-Myers Squibb.

To contact the Branch please ring Moira Furlong on 07840 209267.
|Sandra Smith
My husband, John, died in November 2010 from (Bulbar) MND and I gave up work to spend time with him and be responsible for his care. He had the added complication of frontotemporal dementia which meant that many of the professionals involved in his care lacked understanding of the condition. This resulted in my having to work even harder to ensure all his needs were met. My experience of MND made me re-assess my priorities and rather than return to my previous life in industry I am in the fortunate position of being able to offer my services to the MND Association.
In November 2012 I completed the Inca Trail in Peru to raise funds and awareness of MND. I am the Campaign and Awareness Raising contact for the Merseyside branch, also a trustee, I serve on the Care Committee and am Chair of the Engagement Committee.
In March 2014 I will begin a two year project with the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) to develop a clinical guideline on the assessment and management of motor neurone disease.
|Vice Chair
|Stew Cranage
I lost my Brother in Law to MND in July 2003. Since then, I have always been very active in fundraising for the MND Association. It seems so wrong that you need a loved one to be diagnosed with MND before you have the awareness of the disease, so my personal priorities are to do all I can to promote awareness and raise as much money as possible to assist with research and care. I have been so impressed by the enthusiasm and commitment of the Merseyside branch that I wanted to do more to help at a local level and so I volunteered to join the committee as corporate fundraiser.
|Moira Furlong
I joined the branch and then the Committee in 1991, following my Mum Maureen being diagnosed with MND. She died 18 months later. I remain involved, to help the fight to find a cure for this devastating disease, and to do something to help support people diagnosed with MND, and their families.
Tel: 07840 209267
|Louise Jones
I started attending Branch meetings in November 2013. Mum, Dad and two of my daughters also came along to the meetings, but then we lost my lovely mum to MND in April 2014, six very short months after being diagnosed. I didn't know what MND was until we received Mum's diagnosis. It broke my heart how quickly MND took over our lives but it was during the sadness and devastation which followed that I felt the MND family helped me to cope. There were always people to talk to who actually understood what was happening, they were there with advice, kind words and a hug for me when I needed them most!
I enjoy being involved in the branch fundraising activities and helping to raise awareness of MND. My involvement culminated in being asked to join the branch committee in April 2015 and I am now the new branch secretary, a role I'm enjoying (and learning).
Tel: 07908 802331
|Vincent Furlong
|Alun Owen
My own personal experience of losing my partner to MND was the driving force in joining the branch and becoming involved in any way possible. After 9 years, I am still here as Secretary, Branch Contact, Association Visitor and MND Connect helpline volunteer. I was also thrilled to be voted in as one of the Trustees of the National Association in September 2009 which means that I am able to be even more involved in decision making that should have a positive impact on people and their families living with Motor Neurone Disease.
|Keith Ten-Pow
I do what I do because living with MND you got no choice but to live life to the maximum. That is why I enjoy my collecting and meeting people.
The Merseyside branch is interested in hearing from anyone who would like to help out or join our committee. We are also looking for Association Visitors in the area and would be delighted to hear from anyone who might be interested in finding out more about this role. Please contact for information and further details of how you can get involved locally.

The Department of Airports will add tourist service centres at its 29 provincial airports to boost travel by providing tour packages, accommodation bookings and others services visitors might need.
Darun Sangchai, director-general of the department, said on Tuesday that his department, together with the Tourism Authority of Thailand, would develop the "tourist airports" to provide visitors with convenient services, boost tourism, and promote local economies.
According to him, the tourist airports will have booths of services including discounted tour packages, rental cars, accommodations, and Wi-Fi, as well as shops of souvenirs and local products.
"Holidaymakers can arrive at such airports without having to plan their trips in advance because relevant services will be available there," Mr Darun said.
The project would begin at the airports of Buri Ram, Nan, and Ranong provinces thanks to their potential and local tourist attractions, Mr Darun said. Later, it can expand to 26 other provincial airports.
Apart from increasing the number of tourists in regions, the project should encourage airlines to introduce more domestic routes and flights to provincial airports, he said.

One-stop tourist services planned at provincial airports
Who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed? - Hunter S Thompson
Re: One-stop tourist services planned at provincial airports
It looks like he's talking about government run operation. How does that help local economy?
It seems to me local vendors, not nationwide, would benefit the local economy.

Re: One-stop tourist services planned at provincial airports
I don't know what their talking about. Its already happening. At the very rural Nakhon Si Thammerat nearest to where I live there have been a whole host of services crop up there over the past three years. Can get anything from car rental, taxi to transport to Koh Samui as there are many options offered there now that were not there a few years ago. Thai businesses are not dumb and will go where the business it and it is plainly now at the local airports with the rediculously cheap flights taking of and landing there.

Magic Ocean View Townhouse (Lisbon)
A beautiful house, located in national park of Portugal, Azoia. Near
tourism point "Cabo da Roca", with beautiful sea view from the whole house. A great place for holidays near ocean. Two living rooms with 50m2, 20m2 respectively. Kitchen 20m2, fully equipped. 3 sleeping rooms with individual bathroom, 19m2, 15m2, and 16m2. Swimming pool, garden, Alarm.
Azoia, our Village, is on the Atlantic side of the Sintra hills, about 1mile from Cabo da Roca, Europe's most westerly point. Although still a peasant farming village, there are a number of excellent Restaurants famous for their Seafood, several Cafes and Bars and a very basic General Store. Local produce is sold several times a week and there are busy Market Stalls at weekends. The Sintra Hills have an abundance of Castles, Monasteries and Palaces to explore and wonderful Walks have surprises around every corner. Trains go from Sintra or Cascais into Lisbon where you can take a Tram around the 18th Century centre and then up to the old Arab Quarter and on to St. Georges Castle. For Night Life, the newly developed Docks are not to be missed and so are the traditional 'Fado' places in the Bairo Alto.

Six ways to make your garden more sustainable
- Recycle plastic pots – the retail nursery may take them back, some recyclers also accept pots, or wash and sterilise them before replanting them with fresh plants.
- Propagate your own plants from seed, cutting or by dividing existing plants.
- Return all waste material to the garden either as compost or mulch.
- Use water permeable surfaces such as gravel to allow water to soak into soil.
- Use recycled materials for garden construction and mulches (such as recycled glass mulch).
- Repair and maintain garden furniture rather than throw it out.
