It is rightly said, "The Grass is Always Greener On the Other Side." Do you know how it looks on the other end of those lush professions? How many times do those skinny models have to walk the ramp and avoid what you might be eating right now? That heard-a-lot-about profession might be luxurious and might be one of the illustrious careers in the world, but how about the reality check? After all, is it all worth the pain? Let's know all about the famous careers in the world and their reality.
Famous Careers in the World: Their Job Expectations VS Reality
Some illusions demand clarifications. Most of the times, we tend to stay busy talking about the pros of the careers, but what about the apprehensions? Or what about the realities that those professionals face? Let's have a look at all the myths and their real world scenarios.
1. Pilots
Expectations: Those big-ticket trips around the globe and doing nothing for hours, but just handling the movement of the plane.
Reality: Extensive training timings and incomplete flying hours to meet eligibility criteria. Earning a pilot certificate is too difficult for many, let aside the job demands.
2. Modelling
Expectations: One of the most fun jobs in the world. Pricey and shining clothes every time. Trips around the globe, name & fame in the world.
Reality: No oil! Extensive workouts! Tight schedules, sleepless nights and body shaming by everyone.
3. PR & Communications
Expectations: That razzmatazz and talking to famous and rich personalities while staying in limelight.
Reality: Satisfying clients all the times. Keeping their demands on the priority and forgetting about your planned trips to work for someone every second.
4. Social Media Manager
Expectations: Scrolling through the internet all the time. Could life get more interesting and happening? People knowing your name and big brands hiring you every now and then.
Reality: Coming up with the best and new ideas all the time. Making the posts share-worthy. Constantly being active on social media and no matter where you are or what you are doing!
5. Doctor
Expectations: Big money and people treating you as a god. One of the highest paying jobs in the world. Every person believes you and makes you treat nothing less than the best person in the world. Truly one of the famous careers in the world.
Reality: Exhausting study hours to get in one of the reputable colleges. Afterward, spending huge money to get the degree. Emergency cases flowing every now and then.
6. Personal Trainer
Expectations: Hottest man alive or on the cover of the fitness magazine. Everyone roaming around for the workout tips.
Reality: Waking up early in morning, taking care of your body first to keep inspiring people. Taking care of individuals and planning everything for them. One wrong advice and downfall of the whole career.
7. Lawyer
Expectations: One of those careers that make millions a year. One case and get paid handsomely.
Reality: Knowing each and every law. Lose one big case and you might be put into bad books.
8. Radio Jockey
Expectations: Excitement of knowing new people every day and being the voice of the channel. People listen & want to meet you in real.
Reality: Change in your voice won't be good for your career. No matter if you have a sore throat or ulcers in the mouth. Coming up with new ideas and being spontaneous all the time.
9. Flight Attendants
Expectations: Travelling the world and meeting famous people on their way. Huge salaries and gossiping when people are sleeping.
Reality: Constantly standing for a long time. Hours and hours of practice. Listening to the demands of each and every person in the flight. Wearing a smile on face all the time.
10. Military
Expectations: Huge remunerations and family benefits. Respect is another add-on. Real heroes of the nation.
Reality: Real heroes 'cause of the heroism shown. No leave and no family emergencies. Neither being able to see the birth of a newborn nor having the certainty of life.
11. Entrepreneur
Expectations: No one making you feel beneath or above anyone else. You earn the whole money and are the sole owner of every benefit. Your work and your holidays. No one to say a word.
Reality: Sole owner of the risks. Sole owner of the business failure. No holidays as you can not afford that one-day loss. No replacements to be provided.

With our traditional off-grid lifestyle, it's only fitting that our Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays follow suit. Our families are 2,500 miles away, so we've created new traditions of our own while still holding tight to old traditions. I would love to share some of those traditions with you (including a recipe for bacon buttermilk skillet cornbread), and I look forward to hearing your traditions — wilderness or otherwise.
Holidays in the Wilderness
We use both traditional as well as primitive skills on our homestead. We harvest our meats each fall during hunting season; this eliminates the need to purchase store bought meats. We do this as a family (my husband, my son and I). You will not find tastier, finer and healthier meats anywhere. The additional bonus: unlike animals that we raise, we don't have to pay to feed the wild ones!
We look forward to wild turkey each spring and fall. Some people feel that wild turkey is very tough, but this is truly in the preparation. As with any game meat, the trick is cooking it on low heat for a much longer cooking time.
We cook up our wild turkeys a little differently every time, experimenting with what makes it the tastiest. So far we haven't been able to decide which is our favorite because they are all good! We enjoy adding things to our wild meats while cooking, like sliced apples, onions, bacon, maple syrup, molasses, garlic cloves, garlic powder and a little bit of season salt.
If you are interested in butchering your own turkey, check out our YouTube videos here, here and here. You will learn how to harvest, butcher, and enjoy your own wild turkey. You could use these techniques on a turkey you've raised, too.
For this year's Thanksgiving, we actually had moose roast with many fixins'! Carrots were cooked alongside the roast. We prepared basmati rice with seasonings and slivered almonds. And bacon cornbread. Yes, bacon cornbread.
So today, I'm sharing that recipe over at GNOWFGLINS.
Please note: I reserve the right to delete comments that are offensive or off-topic.

Publisher review for Registry Trash Keys Finder 220.127.116.11:
Review by: SNC
RTKF puts a powerful registry cleaning tool into your hands. It quickly finds unwanted registry data. You can safely delete "orphaned" entries and other "rubbish" left behind by "trial" and other software. Most "uninstall" programs DO NOT really clean up after their parent programs. With RTKF you can streamline the registry and perhaps even improve Windows' speed and reliability. Registry "debris" from improper uninstallation routines is a major problem in Windows. RTKF helps users address this issue by giving them software that finally lets them take control of those sometimes "hidden" registry entries used by trial period software. Unfortunately this software has an annoying habit of leaving behind data which adds to the size of the registry. Install and then remove a few of these programs and you'll find your system getting slower and perhaps even crashing more. Removing these useless entries reduces Windows' memory needs and has other benefits as well.

Charlie Hebdo editor and cartoonist Stéphane Charbonnier, also known as Charb, appeared on a hit list in the March 2013 issue of al-Qaeda's Inspire propaganda magazine. Twitter accounts posted the same picture on Wednesday, but with a huge red X over Charbonnier's picture.
#CharlieHebdo editor Stephane Charbonnier crossed off chilling al-Qaeda hitlist. http://t.co/bVW4RVwkaK pic.twitter.com/q75g9T7s6a
— Ian Geldard (@igeldard) January 8, 2015
The resurfacing of the Inspire hit list on social media, particularly in jihadist social media circles, seems to indicate that jihadists are keen on intimidating the other individuals who appeared on the list, as well as implying that this is the first in a string of similar attacks against those who refuse to abide by the fundamentalist Islamist rules that numerous global jihadist groups intend to enforce.
Two gunmen murdered twelve people, including two police officers, at the satirical newspaper's headquarters in Paris, France, on Wednesday. The gunmen specifically targeted the editorial meeting with the cartoonists due to cartoons of Muhammed they published. One gunman allegedly shouted at witnesses in the street to "tell the media that this is al-Qaeda in Yemen." The group changed its name to al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) a few years ago.
"At a minimum, this indicates AQAP and Inspire continue to have resonance," stated Matthew Olsen, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center. "Whether these individuals were acting as AQAP or were inspired by them, it demonstrates the continued significance of AQAP and its propaganda."
Charlie Hebdo printed twelve cartoons of Muhammed since 2007, which caused backlash and threats from al-Qaeda. The publication placed the headquarters and cartoonists under protection after the first threat.
"Charb was under special high-profile figure protection," claimed Richard Malka, Charlie Hebdo's lawyer. "The threats were constant. It is frightening."
One journalist at Charlie Hebdo told French publication Le Monde that Charbonnier was not bothered by the threats. "Charb was under police protection but he moved around without his policemen, which was a sign he wasn't worried all the time," he said.
Despite the threats, Charbonnier continued to draw and publish cartoons. "I have been in this newspaper for 20 years, it has been 20 years that we have been provocative, it just so happens that every time we deal with radical Islam we have a problem and we get indignant violent reactions," he told al-Jazeera. Charbonnier added:
But what surprises me is the reaction of French politicians: We are a country in the rule of law, we respect the French law. Our only limit is French law, it is that what we have to obey. We haven't infringed the French law, we have the right to use our freedom, as we understand it.
French authorities identified the two gunmen as brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi. Both men are still at large and allegedly robbed a gas station in northern France. Hamyd Mourad, their 18-year-old brother-in-law, turned himself in late Wednesday night.

Describe your trip in a few lines – give us your cocktail party versionIn 2007, I was burnt out by my job and recent divorce. I packed all my stuff into a storage unit and backpacked around part of Europe for 3 months getting my sparkle back.
When did you take your trip? September to November 2007
How old were you at the time? 37
Share a little bit about what prompted you to travel? I was recovering from a divorce and after 7 years at the same job, I felt burned out. I started out planning a 3 week trip, realized I couldn't see what I wanted to see in that amount of time and started asking myself "why not make it 3 months?"
Where did you travel? Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands, Greece and Paris.
How long were you gone? 3 months
Did your travel have a theme (ie language classes or RTW travel or deep sea fishing)? I wanted to practice Spanish so I spent a month in Spain. Otherwise no theme – just the cheaper European countries because the value of the dollar was in the toilet and the dollar:euro exchange rate was brutal at the time.
Did you go alone? If no, who went with you? I went alone. I had a friend in Valencia, Spain and my sister met me in Paris for a week, but otherwise I was alone. Of course I wasn't really alone because I met friends (and lovers) along the way!
Did you speak the language before you went? I could speak basic Spanish and I had 7th grade French, which didn't help all that much. But no Portuguese, Greek or Dutch. Dutch and French weren't really needed but Portuguese and Greek would have been helpful. Portuguese turned out to be similar enough to Spanish that I could pick it up. And in Greece I was generally with a group and we just fumbled along. I had a multi-language electronic dictionary that helped a lot. That and my awesome pantomime skills!
After? My Spanish definitely improved. A lot of small Spanish towns there aren't many English speakers so I got to practice. And I still remember how to say Thank You in Portuguese (obrigada)
When did you first start dreaming about the trip? I met a British man named Vincent at Ojo Caliente hot springs in Santa Fe, NM who told me about his travel adventures. He was very resourceful and traveled on a fairly small budget. It was then I started thinking that maybe I did have enough money to travel for a chunk of time.
How did you choose where to go or your theme? I had been planning a 3 week trip to Spain with my ex-husband, who's father was from there. I became really intrigued with the sound of it and decided to go on the trip anyway. From there it just grew into a multi-country, multi-month adventure!
How long did it take you plan it? I decided to quit my job and do the extended trip over July 4th weekend and flew out September 10th of the same year. I had done some research on Spain prior but most of it was researched in July & August.
How far in advance did you start preparing? As soon as I decided to go. But the timing was good because my apartment lease was up in late August so I was already preparing to move.
Were people supportive or did you have nay-sayers? How did you handle them? Incredibly supportive. I was a software developer living in Austin, Texas at the time, and the economy hadn't yet crashed, so I didn't have many people freaking out about me quitting my job.
What did you do with your home while you were gone? The home I owned was already rented and I was a renter myself. My lease ended right before I left.
What did you do with any pets while you were gone? One cat had died the year before and one stayed with my ex, so I didn't have any pets.
What did you do with your "stuff" – furniture, books, clothes, kitchen stuff, art, music, electronics, etc? I sold some, gave away a lot, left the valuables with friends & family and put the rest in a storage unit. When I opened that storage unit up after living out of a backpack for 4 months, I could only slam it shut in horror. That moment changed my life. I've been downsizing and simplifying ever since.
How did you handle any jobs you had? Quit? Leave of absence? Work from the road? I initially asked for a 3 month sabbatical. They said "no, sorry", so I quit. Then they said "eh…maybe" but I was already mentally done. I had a great team, but I had been there for 7 years and it was time for a change. It was the right decision for me.
What was your budget? I had $15k in the bank and I wanted to come home with $5k (which I did). My daily budget averaged out to $100/day including travel. I spent a lot on actual travel – planes, trains and buses – because I moved around a lot. I would say I really spent more like $60/day although it really depended on where I was at the time. And in Euros that was about 35-40 Euros a day. I stayed in hostels unless a private room could be had for 25 Euros (about $40). I ate what I wanted but not many fancy meals. I didn't drink that much because I was traveling solo. And wine in Spain is cheap anyway 😉 And I couldn't spend much of souvenirs because I had no way to carry them.
How did you fund it? I got half of the savings when my husband and I split, so I had about $10k in the bank already. I moved into a 1 bedroom apartment and cut my housing expenses in half, saving about $700/month for 8 months to get me up to the $15k.
What modifications, if any, did you make to your lifestyle to save for the trip? I moved into the smaller apartment, I didn't buy anything for my house, clothes, etc for the 6 months before – because I wasn't going to use it anyway. I ate out less too.
How long did you save/prepare for the financial piece? It took me 8 months to save the final $5k. During that time, I didn't buy anything that wasn't absolutely necessary or for the trip.
Talk about your trip style – budget, luxury? I'm not always a budget traveler but this particular trip was pretty budget. Europe was very expensive at the time. A 300euro withdrawal at the ATM cost me about $450. I stayed in hostels (nice ones) about 75% of the time and cccasionally splurged on private rooms at small inns. My sister and I got an apartment for a week in Paris and I stayed with a friend once. I utilized buses and trains and cheap airlines like Ryanair and EasyJet. I got grocery store food and had picnics and ate at small family places. Tapas are awesome for fun budget dining! I drank house wine. I looked for free days at the museum. But I also went on tours and day trips, visited bath houses, enjoyed some music and nice meals and rented a car in Andalusia. I never felt deprived, although I could have used a good massage a couple of times.
How long did you typically stay in one place? After being on the road a couple of weeks, I made a "3 day rule" – no place for less than 3 days. 5 was better but sometimes that was too long. I stayed on the southern coast of Portugal for a week, Paris for a week and Amsterdam for 2 weeks. I also spent a full week on a small cruise ship touring Greek ruins. Otherwise, I moved around quite a bit and it did get tiring. Luckily I was traveling light.
Did you have everything mapped out or did you wing it? I had a high-level idea of what I was doing in Spain and I knew my sister was meeting me in Paris. But otherwise I kind of made it up as I went along. I always booked a hostel for the first night I was in a place and I was most comfortable planning 2 places ahead until towards the end of the trip. I learned to trust travelers advice but I also had certain things I wanted to see – and I tried to do the high points of a place, even if they were touristy (ie the Eiffel Tower). We did skip the Louvre though.
What type of activities did you typically enjoy on your trip? I walked a lot – just took it all in. I was using public transport and stayed mostly in cities/larger towns. I ate a lot of food – very enjoyable – did the museums and walking tours of the towns. If I could do something cool and outdoorsy, I did. And I saw live music wherever possible.
What type of gear did you take? Any recommendations? I use a fairly small backpack that converts into a duffel style bag, which is awesome for plane travel. Clothing-wise, I had 1 pair of jeans, one pair of pants, one skirt, one pair of shorts, 8 tops, 1 fleece, 1 pair of yoga pants, a bathing suit, a sarong, 2 bras, 5 pairs of socks and 10 pairs of underwear. I brought 2 pairs of shoes (chacos & trail runners) then bought some boots in Paris, ha. I had to buy gloves and a jacket along the way when it got colder than I expected. I had a digital camera and an iPod nano, which I rarely used. I did not bring a cell phone or a computer, although now I probably would bring a netbook and definitely my phone. Toiletries, journal, book, glasses, money. That's about it.
My advice would be: travel light. You can buy almost anything you need on the road (unless you are in a remote area or a 3rd world country). Obviously don't take anything you would be devastated losing, including your laptop.
Which guide book(s) did you use and would you recommend them? For Europe, Rick Steves books were amazing. His tastes jive with mine, he give you history and cultural information and they are kept up-to-date. He covers food & lodging from luxury to budget. Highly recommended.
What did you do when you returned? Where did you live, what type of work did you do? I landed at my parents house, where I sat around missing Europe and muttering about at how fat and loud we Americans were for at least 2 weeks. I had sold my car, quit my job and let my lease run out. It was a little much, honestly, not having a car, a job or a place to live. I updated my resume but I had my $5k cushion so I didn't look for work until January. Unfortunately that is when the recession began so I did contract work for almost a year before going back to work full-time.
Were you ready to return? No although I was ready to be in one place for a while. Had I not bought a return ticket, I probably would have continued but not in Europe (too expensive and it was getting cold). I would have rented a place for a month and chilled.
Did the trip change your life? How is your life different because of the trip? Yes! I came home braver, more flexible, completely unattached to my stuff and with my mind and heart opened quite a bit more. I have amazing memories and gained a lot of knowledge about traveling, about the countries I visited and about myself.
Did anything notable happen while traveling? Every single day, ha! Actually one thing is that I appreciated World War II on a whole different level being there. The evidence is all around you – buildings often had plaques and old photos of the building after being bombed, etc. Ditto for the Spanish Civil war, which I knew little about before going. This appreciation was really special and totally unanticipated. I've heard the same thing from other Americans.
What was your favorite part of the trip? Too many to mention but Spanish tapas are definitely on the list. And the people I met, of course.
What was your least favorite part? Paris, believe it or not. I just didn't connect with the city and the aloof Parisians were jarring after being around friendly Spaniards for a month.
Do you have any regrets? Not really. Maybe skipping Italy. I stayed in Portugal longer than expected and ended up flying to Athens. So I decided Italy needed to be it's own trip.
What advice do you have for would-be travelers who want to take an epic trip? Just do it! You will not regret it.
Do you have a travel blog people can visit? You're on it. I also blog over on my personal planning site: audrey-reynolds.com/blog
Any other thoughts or comments?
- Don't buy a bunch of travel gear that you aren't sure you need. Depending on where you are going, you can easily buy it along the way if you find you want/need it. And don't buy a bunch of travel clothes if you are doing an urban trip – whenI first arrived, I landed in fashionable Madrid, where I felt like the Crocodile Hunter's daughter in my brand spankin' new quick-dry khaki gear. A lot of that got mailed home or given away almost immediately…
- Carry a small notebook and pen to capture ideas, directions, advice quickly.
- If you are traveling alone, consider staying in hostels. They are very social and it's easy to make a friend for a meal or an activity. I looked for well-located, non-party hostels (ie a 21 year old said they were nice but boring). And sometimes I needed space to spread out/chill out and would rent a private room. Learn to recognize and honor those times.
- **Learn to sleep in earplugs.**

Catching up with old friends
5:15 PM | | Edit Post
Me and the family at Easter, just before church.
Did you ever really miss talking to someone and out of the blue they call you up and you think "How did you know that I needed to talk to you?" That happened to me today when my dear friend Sam called. We haven't seen each other in five years. How can that be? We talk every couple of months, and we email more often than that, but nothing beats a phone call. The sound of someone's voice from miles away. Oh how I'd love to see her again. Our kids barely remember each other and they used to hang out together all the time, nearly every day. I've never met her youngest two and she hasn't met my baby and he's four already. How time flies. We are going to try to come up with a halfway point from my house and her house and meet up this summer sometime. I'd really like that. Nothing beats a long weekend with a dear friend. Call someone up today that you haven't talked to in a while. You'll be glad you did.

Clinical Pathway for Managing ADT-Induced Adverse Events in Prostate Cancer
A clinical pathway for patients with prostate cancer patients improved the implementation of evidence-based strategies for the management of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)-induced side effects.
A group of researchers led by Renée Bultijnck, department of radiation oncology and experimental cancer research, Ghent University (Belgium), conducted a study to assess the effects of a prostate cancer clinical pathway on the implementation of evidence-based strategies for the management of ADT-induced side effects. In 2015, a clinical pathway was introduced at the hospital level that consisted of various strategies supported by evidence for the management of ADT-induced side effects. Data of recommended evidence-based strategies were retrospectively identified from electronic health records of all patients in the year before (2014) and the year of the pathway implementation (2015).
A total of 258 patients were enrolled in the clinical pathway who had a prostate cancer diagnosis and had received ADT for more than 6 months. In all, 126 patients were included in the control group and 132 patients in the intervention group.
Results of the study were published in BJUI International (online December 1, 2017; doi:10.1111/bju.14086).
After implementation of the clinical pathway, researchers reported more frequent application of metabolic (46% vs 4%), bone (58% vs 10%), and cardiac risk assessment screenings (61% vs 16%) in the intervention group compared with the control group, respectively (P < .001).

Additionally, advice on strategies preventing ADT-induced adverse events was more frequently offered in the intervention group, including advice on exercise (62% vs 11% in the control group), nutrition (58% vs 10%), and psycho-education (54% vs 13%).
Researchers concluded that clinical pathways for patients with prostate cancer can improve the implementation of evidence-based strategies for the management of ADT-induced adverse events. In this population, "A clinical pathway could serve as a method to bridge the gap between evidence-based guidelines and daily clinical practice," they wrote.—Zachary Bessette

As some Illinois workers in certain occupations know, hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas with a distinctive odor akin to rotten eggs. This gas is corrosive, flammable, explosive and poisonous. It is formed naturally and is most prominent in oil, gas, pulp, chemical and paper operations. Companies are under regulatory rules to provide appropriate protection for workers.
H2S in ambient air has varying implications based on the gas concentration. For instance, a concentration of H2S between 45,000 and 450,000 parts per million may result in an explosion, while 1,000 to 2,000 ppm causes almost instant death if breathed in. Workers who breathe air with an H2S concentration of 700 to 1,000 ppm may collapse and die if not removed quickly. At 10 to 100 ppm, an unprotected worker may have throat and eye problems and headaches within one hour. Continual exposure may result in nausea, vomiting, coughing and dizziness.
Depending on exposure, certain respirators should be used. The maximum use concentration value assigned to respirators is calculated using exposure limits. If exposure is at 100 to 100,000 ppm, a self-contained breathing apparatus is needed. At 10 to 100 ppm, an air-purifying mask, an SCBA or a full-face mask cartridge is required. A respirator is not needed at a range of 0 to 10 ppm. Companies are urged to use such recommendations and perform testing according to specific aspects workers at the company's site might encounter to make sure the workers are protected.
A worker who suffers a workplace illness from exposure to toxic chemicals may be eligible for workers' compensation if the effects keep him or her away from work or if medical care is needed. An attorney may help the worker determine eligibility and assist in the filing process.

Troopers reported via trooper dispatch on Friday that a 16-year-old Grayling teen was reported missing in that community by the village's tribal administrator. The administrator reported the teen, 16-year-old Gabriel Nicholi III, missing at 1:35 pm on Thursday.
A hasty search of the community as well as surrounding villages failed to turn up the whereabouts of 16-year-old Gabriel Nicholi III. Troopers responded and initiated an investigation into the disappearance of Nicholi. It was revealed to troopers that Nicholi had last been seen alive at between 2 and 4 am on Wednesday morning.
A search of the river was begun and a State aircraft with an Aniak-based trooper and VPSo traveled to the village to assist in the search.
At 2:45 pm on Thursday afternoon, searchers, while dragging the river, discovered Nicholi in front of a boat in about 10 foot of water.
Although there were no signs of foul play, the State Medical Examiner's office in Anchorage are conducting an autopsy.
Next of kin were notified.

Year 11 Student 2012
"Can't believe I got a 'C' in 3d design. Thanks for that :-) x"
Email from past student August 2012 who left Summer 2007
"Hi everyone. I haven't forgot about you all. Hope you are all well, trying to jog my memory of all the teachers that were there. Have always wanted to thank everyone for everything that you did.

Parent of Year 11 Student 2011
"I would like to thank you all for everything you achieved with my son. I know at times things weren't easy but you stuck in there and helped to make him who he is today.

Parent of Year 11 student 2010
"We just want to say thank you all for the job you have done with her. Without the work you teachers have put in to her she would just be another statistic, instead of the 'young lady' we actually kinda like these days!!'

Parent of Year 11 Student 2010

Besides the usual allergens, you will generaly also find MSG in almost all canned soup, even many of the "health food store" type. MSG is not always listed in that way. MSG frequently hides in foods in the form of "hydrolyzed vegetable protein," "autolyzed yeast," "spices," "flavorings," and other non-specific ingredients. Here are some "semi-condensed" soups you can make from scratch and keep in the freezer for those times when you have a recipe that calls for a canned soup."

Environmental Policy
Here at Ferry Marina we care a lot about our environment and the wildlife around us.
As we are in the heart of a beautiful National Park, we are always aware of nature around us and we want to encourage sustainable holidays and make everyone more environmentally aware. Ferry Marina is continually looking at ways to reduce our carbon footprint and environmental impact.
Energy Use and Water Consumption
Swimming pools consume vast quantities of energy for heating and filtration. To reduce our energy use we installed a double glazed screen to separated the pool area from the rest of the leisure complex, this has increased the air temperature in the pool area but dramatically reduced the temperature and humidity of the rest of the building and removed our need to use dehumidifiers. By installing the screen we have also removed a lot of the heating costs of the pool, as all the heat is kept in.
Meters have been fitted to all marina electric hookup points, in order to encourage more considerate energy consumption by boat owners.
Volume-reducing (water saving) blocks have been fitted to our toilet cisterns.
All new toilets fitted are the small cistern type with the short flush option.
All showers and basins have push-button tap operation to prevent them from being left running.
All shower & toilet blocks now have motion sensitive lighting, which is activated when customers enter the building and switches off automatically.
The hand dryers in the changing rooms have been replaced with efficient quick dryers - which have a lower energy consumption
An energy saving review has been conducted across the marina and in our holiday cottages, as a result of this we are now in the process of changing our lightbulbs to energy saving versions and changing light fittings to accommodate energy saving bulbs.
As part of our marina policy we discourage the use of hoses for cleaning the boats. For cleaning our own hire fleet we only use buckets and cloths and avoid using chemicals for cleaning.
Land fill, waste & recycling
We have recycling points on site for card, paper, plastics, glass and cans. These are located around the site and we hope to increase the amount of waste recycled and reduce the amount we send to landfill.
All toner & inkjet cartridges are returned for recycling
Dead trees are recycled where possible.
As a marina, we have many customers with chemical toilets or waste holding tanks. We encourage our customers only to use organic additives and will not permit waste containing harmful chemicals (such as formaldehyde-based products) to be disposed of using our facilities; such chemicals could cause damage to our sewage treatment plant and result in harmful levels of pollutants entering the watercourse. We use an environmentally friendly alternative in all our boats.
The waste oil from Harry's Cafe is recycled for use as bio diesel.
Where possible we try to email rather than send printed documents, this is not only near instant but it saves postage miles and paper.
We are currently looking into sourcing more locally produced products to save on the miles travelled.

Most of you won't need an excuse to go to New York City. Whilst similarly, not many of you will be stuck for ideas of what to do whilst you're there. The city that never sleeps has everything to entertain you, including fantastic restaurants, world famous landmarks, and great shopping opportunities.
However one of the top things on your list should be to take a New York TV & movie tour. Where else can you combine a city break with a look at some of the most famous film & TV locations in the world?
So join us as we count down the top 5 movie tours…
5. The Godfather Trilogy Tour
The Godfather trilogy represents a great moment in movie history. And now you can live and breathe the story of Don Corleone with the Godfather tour. Visit the flagship store of Best & Company which featured in the first movie (fitting in some shopping of your own at the same time), pass by the Bellevue Hospital where the Don was taken after his shooting and even visit the scene in which Don Barzini was assassinated – on the steps of the New York State Supreme Court building.
4. The Taxi Driver Tour
The 1976 movie Taxi Driver was directed by Martin Scorsese and starred Robert DeNiro as Travis Bickle. The movie showed New York City at its grittiest and darkest, but the film has many fans who wish to see the sights in the Big Apple year after year.
The Maine Memorial at Columbus Circle is the setting for the political rally where Senator Charles Palatine is giving his speech when Travis Bickle sets out to shoot him.Additionally, the location where Travis Bickle picks up his final fare in his taxi is the St. Regis Hotel, located on E. 55th Street, just off Fifth Avenue.
3. The Die Hard Tour
As we all know, Die Hard was originally set in Los Angeles, but the third movie in the trilogy – Die Hard with a Vengeance – was set in New York City. Released in 1995, it was directed by John McTiernan and stars Samuel L Jackson and of course Bruce Willis as John McClane. You'll be able to see many of the sites on tour, including the New York City Water Tunnel No. 3, the subway station entrance at 72nd St. and Broadway, and Tompkins Square Park at Avenue A and 7th St. where the two main characters struggled to solve a riddle in order to prevent the detonation of a bomb. Additionally there is also the Federal Reserve Building at William and Liberty St. where the villain Simon tried to steal the city's gold supply.
2. The Ghostbusters Tour
Now you can tour the sites where the infamous Ghostbusters saved New York City twice!
Go through Columbus Circle, following the steps of the Marshmallow Man, and visit the New York Public Library, which was the scene of haunting at the beginning of the first movie. Additionally you'll get to see 55 Central Park West where the Ghostbusters saved the world from Zuul, The Gatekeeper and The Key Master. However, one of the most popular attractions is the old firehouse where the Ghostbusters were based – the firehouse still stands today and even has a Ghostbusters logo on the street in front.
1. The Sopranos Tour
The Sopranos tour is immensely popular. If you're a fan of the show then why not take this amazing guided sightseeing tour of Sopranos sites that depart from mid-town Manhattan and take you through "Sopranoland" in New Jersey. The tour guides are actually actors or extras who have appeared in the series also, and they'll be able to share inside facts and stories that only they could know! This tour is simply a "must" for any Sopranos fan. Sights along the way include the Bada Bing, Barone Sanitation, Pizzaland, The Muffler Man, and other sites from the opening credits. You can even sit in the restaurant booth where Tony sat in the final scene of the series.
The tour kicks off at 7th Avenue near 39th Street, on Saturdays at 10am. The cost is $46 + $2 ticket fee and the tour lasts approximately 4 hours.
There are a number of sites which offer thee above tours and much more, including www.screentours.com, www.allnewyorktours.com, www.zerve.com/OnLocation/TVTour & www.nyc.com/guided_tours/.

Of a Mexican neighborhood.
I'm just chillin' by the library,
Across from the corner store.
When it's sunny, I could see
The mountains from here.
I could see the marine layer
Moving slowly across the sky
Like a magic carpet ride.
One day I'm just goin' to hop on it
Ride it to where it goes,
Relax my overworked wings,
Float over the canyon below.
And when the mist descends
I'll circle, glide and return
Back to my neighborhood
Where there's plenty of crow
And enough food and twigs
To go around.

Automated software fails school test
UK schools sent out more than 100,000 automated text and phone messages to parents warning them of school closures during bad weather in the run up to Christmas - but many failed to arrive until it was too late.
One Cambridgeshire parent welcomed the closure alert, but said it arrived after 11am on the morning of the school closure - almost three hours after the news had been announced on local radio.
IT solutions vendors have spotted the opportunity, and are introducing products into the market aimed at addressing the issue. The Call Parents automated notification system, for example, is installed in over 1,000 primary and secondary schools in the UK.
Call Parent reads live pupil contact information from the school management system, and sends out automated text or voice messages (using text to speed translation software) about school closures, school trip cancellations or delays, and dates for school reports to mobile phones, landlines, or via email.
CallParents also reads live student attendance information, and will send parents an alert that asks them to verify if their child is absent through sickness or other reasons.
An estimated 2,000 UK schools in Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Essex, Norfolk, Kent, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Yorkshire, Surrey, Berkshire and Sussex were forced to close on the last day of term in December, reports suggest.

Man looking for cash finds gunshot wound
A paraplegic man who was looking in his pockets for money instead found he had been shot, New Orleans police said.
The 32-year-old victim told police he was at a party at Eagle and Pear streets when he heard gunfire about 11:40 p.m. Sunday.
He reached into his pocket about 45 minutes later to look for money but instead found he had been shot in the "lower part of his body," according to a daily police log.
He was treated at a local hospital.
Woman robbed on way to give school supplies
An unknown gunman robbed a woman Saturday who was on her way to a church to give out school supplies to neighborhood children.
The victim was walking near Cohn and Monroe streets about 1 p.m. when the robber walked up and demanded her money, police said.
The robber is described as a black man, 5-foot-4 with a thin build and 24 to 28 years old. He wore a white bandana across part of his face, blue jeans with tears at the knees, a multicolored shirt and a black sports watch.
Anyone with information on his identity is asked to contact 2nd District detectives at (504) 658-6020 or Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111.
Man enters guilty plea in hit-and-run case
James Ratliff, one of six people charged in the hit-and-run death of former New Orleans police Officer Rodney Thomas and a subsequent cover-up attempt, pleaded guilty Monday to one count of conspiracy to commit obstruction of justice in a hit-and-run.
Ratliff, 39, was sentenced to one year in prison with credit for time served.
Thomas was killed in July 2013 when he was struck by a Porsche on Interstate 10 near the high-rise over the Industrial Canal after he got out of his truck to check on damage to another car damaged during an accident.
Bill Cager, 35, the owner of a body shop where the Porsche Panamera that struck Thomas was taken after the accident, pleaded guilty last week to being an accessory to manslaughter, obstruction of justice, conspiring to obstruct justice and conspiring to be an accessory after the fact to manslaughter.
Under the terms of a plea deal, Cager received the maximum sentence for each count, with the sentences suspended. He had already spent a year in jail.
Driver robs man who accepted ride, cops say
A man who accepted a ride from a stranger later was robbed by the driver, New Orleans police said.
The victim was dropped off at North Claiborne and Esplanade avenues about 11 a.m. Sunday.
He gave the driver money for gas, but the driver pulled out a gun and demanded the rest of his cash, police said. The robber then drove away.
Man killed in accident on I-10 near LaPlace
State Police are investigating a two-car accident that claimed the life of an unidentified man.
Trooper Melissa Matey said the accident happened about 2:30 a.m. Monday on Interstate 10 just west of La. 3188 near LaPlace.
Matey said Jacob Sellars, 24, of Sorrento, lost control of his car, struck the left guard rail, crossed the highway and struck the right guard rail. She said the car rotated several times, ejecting the passenger. The car then struck a second vehicle.
Matey said Sellars refused to give troopers any information about his passenger.
He was booked with vehicular homicide, reckless operation, not wearing a seat belt and driving with a suspended driver's license.
Troopers are working with the St. John the Baptist Parish Coroner's Office to identify the passenger. Anyone with information on his identity is asked to contact Troop B at (504) 471-2775.
Miss. fugitive arrested in Kenner burglaries
A fugitive from Mississippi was booked on multiple counts of burglary in Kenner.
On Friday, Kenner police learned that Torez Lorenzo White, 18, fled Mississippi and was staying in Kenner after he learned he was wanted in connection with a larceny charge in Ridgeland, Mississippi.
Police said they also learned that White was bragging about committing crimes in Kenner, said Sgt. Brian McGregor, a Police Department spokesman.
Officers went to White's apartment in the 4300 block of Idaho Avenue. When they knocked on the front door, he tried to flee out the back door, then ran back inside and refused to come out, McGregor said. He surrendered without incident after realizing police would not leave without him.
White was linked through physical evidence and by property recovered to numerous residential and business burglaries in Kenner since July 21, McGregor said.
He was booked with three counts of attempted simple burglary of an inhabited dwelling, two counts of simple burglary, a count of simple burglary of an inhabited dwelling and illegal possession of stolen things valued at $1,300.
White is suspected in the following attempted or committed burglaries in Kenner:
Attempted simple burglary of a residence, July 21, in the 4300 block of Illinois Avenue
Attempted simple burglary of a residence, July 25, in the 3500 block of California Avenue
Attempted simple burglary of an apartment, July 25, in the 4500 block of Williams Boulevard
Simple burglary of a business, July 30, in the 4100 block of Williams Boulevard
Simple burglary of a business, July 30, in the 4100 block of Williams Boulevard
Simple burglary of a residence, July 31, in the 2100 block of 43rd Street
Items taken during the burglaries included jewelry, money, gaming systems and small computers. White's vehicle was found at the Sugar Mill apartment complex, where some of the stolen property was recovered.
He remained in custody Monday without bail.
Police expect to book him with additional charges, McGregor said.
Gunfire wounds man in leg in Central City
A man was shot in the leg Monday evening in Central City, New Orleans police said.
The man was shot near Josephine Street and Simon Bolivar Avenue shortly after 6 p.m.

We climbed the rocky path up to Peace Hill the other day.
We were sure it had been a lighthouse for rum runners and maybe the slave traders. It turns out it was a windmill. There used to be a GIANT statue of Jesus next to the old stone building. He like the GIANT statue of Jesus in Ohio was destroyed by the forces of nature.
Maybe we shouldn't be building GIANT statues, of a make believe likeness, of god like people?
I love the colors here. I love how people paint their houses, lavender, yellow, with contrasting colors for the shutters.Today, we wander down to Mongoose Junction, in town and take a look in some of the shops.
Yesterday, we took a drive then headed down to Cinnamon Bay to just sit in our beachchairs, soak up the sun and float in the water. Well, one of can float, "not at our desired weight" bodies float much better than strong muscular bodies.
I'm still dealing with cravings for salt. I was hoping that a good long float in the water would soak up enough salt in my body to manage those cravings. Guess it doesn't work that way.
I can finally see the veins in my feet and my left ankle looks normal not wearing a skin inner tube around it. Zeus handed me a potato chip, yesterday, during our beach lunch. I held it and made a conscious decision to hand it back. Oh NOBLE BEA!
We travel all day tomorrow and arrive back in Verona very late in the evening. Friday is a day of laundry, cleaning and shopping to restock the larder and get ready for the Kentucky Derby party on Saturday. It looks like the weather is not going to cooperate with us so we will most likely be indoors, which means I have to do a better job of cleaning the house. Oh well, get it down now and ignore it for the rest of the summer, right?
:)Bea Who sends you peaceful greetings from the land of the sun, green hills and turquoise waters.

Store Large Volumes of Data Completely In-Memory
The era of in-memory computing is upon us. Unlike traditional business intelligence solutions, Armanta's architecture allows users to store large volumes of data completely in memory and analyze it in an interactive fashion. The Intelligence Cache's massively parallel (MPP), shared nothing architecture allows it to scale linearly with the amount of data and number of users. Armanta's sophisticated memory management algorithms make optimal use of the available memory in the Armanta platform and make sure the most relevant data for business users are always available in-memory.
While the business user can access all the data in the enterprise via an integrated view of the metadata, Armanta brings the actual data into memory on-demand based on analytical needs. This is in contrast to most other business intelligence platforms that force the business user to bring in all the data they may potentially need upfront with no flexibility to react to future changes in requirements.

BRUSSELS (VNS)— Viet Nam and Belgium have agreed to encourage and create favourable conditions for their businesses to co-operate in areas such as seaports and logistics services, transport, and technology.
The agreement was reached during talks between visiting Deputy PM Hoang Trung Hai and his Belgian counterpart Van de Lanotte in Brussels on Thursday.
The two sides held in-depth discussion and reached consensus on measures to further bilateral co-operation, including increasing the exchange of all-level delegations and enhancing co-ordination in organising activities to mark the 40th anniversary of the two nations' diplomatic ties.
They agreed that the second session of the Viet Nam-Belgium Joint Committee on Economic Co-operation will be held next month and to continue with joint projects within the framework of the 2011-15 Development Orientation Programme.
They signed two memoranda of understanding on building policies to renovate and develop business training establishments, and implementing a project to improve the quality of medical waste treatment in Ha Noi.
During his three-day visit that ended yesterday, Hai also attended working sessions with the Vice President of the European Commission (EC) responsible for Industry and Entrepreneurship Antonio Tajani and EC Trade Commissioner Karen De Gucht.
The two sides expressed willingness to work for the signing of the Viet Nam-EU Free Trade Agreement by the end of 2014.
Deputy PM in Italy
Prior to his Belgium visit, the Deputy PM paid an official visit to Italy from September 23-25.
He held talks with Italian Deputy PM and Interior Minister Angelino Alfano, and met with Minister of Economy and Finance Fabrizio Saccomanni and Minister of Economic Development Flavio Zanonato.
The Italian hosts spoke of their wishes to further develop the Viet Nam-Italy strategic partnership, especially in regard to the two countries celebrating the 40th anniversary of their bilateral diplomatic ties.
The two sides agreed to create favourable conditions for their businesses to meet each other to seek partners, focusing on those fields where Viet Nam has demands and Italy holds advantages.
They signed an action plan to implement the Joint Statement on the establishment of the Viet Nam-Italy strategic partnership in the 2013-14 period, designed to further deepen bilateral cooperation in the key areas of politics-diplomacy, economics, culture-education, defence and agriculture.
They also inked an action programme on cultural cooperation for the 2013-16 period. — VNS

I have recently been diagnosed with maular degeneration. This is very hard for me as reading is really important to me. I am taking the vitamins and doing the shots ($2000.00 each!) but realize that within 8-12 years I will probably not be able to read at all. I have read close to 100,000 books in my life. Many of my Fantasy/SciFi books are my good friends that I reread every few years. I used to read as much as 1500 words per minute. I can no longer do that, though I still read 3-4 times faster than average. But I am very sad, because I can no longer "zone out" when reading. (My brain keeps interrupting me telling me to clean my glasses or something because I'm not seeing well.) I have about 4000 nice hardback books, about 1700 of those SciFi/Fantasy. I will some day have to let them go because I will not be able to read them. It will do me no good to post them on PBS, because what would I do with the book credits? When that time comes, I plan to find a way to give them away to people or institutions who will appreciate them, but I will not be able to pay to ship them. Any good ideas how to set that up?
I am grateful that there is Books for the Blind and I am busily copying books off onto thumb drives, trying to replicate my library as much as possible, before it gets too hard to see. I am grateful that I still have some years to go before I lose them. But I wonder of there might be interest in starting a thread about eye problems specifically . . .
You could always trade the books here then sell off your credits over in the Bazaar.
My son used to get audio books sent to the house for free (and the special recorder they play on loaned for free). All sent postage free both ways. You can borrow them as long as you want. They even have text books on audio on loan for free for the school year and we did that a few times. He is not blind, but having a learning disability that made it so he could not read at grade level also qualified him for the service. Many of the books are read onto recordings by volunteers. Takes an amazing amout of dedication to do that. So many audio books available on kindle now and if you have amazon prime you can use their borrow library for titles members are willing to share.
My mom also has macular degeneration (along with parkinsons and other things). Reading is such an enjoyment for her with her limited mobility, and why I swap here more than usual lately since she moved in with us, that I am praying she keeps her sight (she is 89). I am sorry you having this struggle!
There are devices around that will read your regular books out loud for you. You scan the bar over the page and it reads out loud. I have looked into them but not purchased. That might be another option.

Woman Murdered While Waiting for Gun Permit
An innocent New Jersey woman was murdered by her ex-boyfriend because she couldn't get her gun permit in time.
New Jersey gun laws are some of the most strict in the nation. These laws were set in place with the idea of making it harder for criminals to get their hands on deadly weapons. However, these laws only hurt law-abiding citizens who turn to their constitutional right for self-protection.
In fact, for 39-year-old Carol Bowne, this process took so long that it was eventually too late for her to save herself from her angry ex-boyfriend.
Carol Bowne broke off a relationship with Michael Eitel several months ago. After fearing for her safety and the possibility of domestic violence, Bowne filed a restraining order, updated her home with security and surveillance, and applied for a permit to purchase a handgun on April 21, 2015. Months later, Bowne was still waiting for approval to purchase a weapon for self-defense when Eitel showed up at her home and stabbed her to death.
Police told the Courier Post in New Jersey that she had followed up two days before her murder regarding the status of her permit only to be told that the fingerprint information had not yet been received.
New Jersey gun laws require that any applicants requesting to purchase a deadly weapon need to forgo extensive background checks, mental history, criminal history, and service fees. The state is obligated to approve or deny any requests within 30 days, though gun rights advocates in the state claim that it isn't unusual for the process to take several months.
Evan Nappen, a New Jersey-based attorney, stated that her application would have been approved since she was a victim of domestic abuse.
Authorities' search for Eitel, who had served time in the past for kidnapping, came to a halt when he was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in another girlfriend's garage, FOX News reported.
