Renting real estate can be quite intimidating to many people. It really should be a bit scary, but not to the point where you are afraid to consider doing it. There are many decisions to be made and the wrong ones could affect your life for many years. Use the information in this article to help you in your decisions.
Moving into a home that you just purchased can be both exciting and quite stressful. Eliminate some of the stress by planning ahead. Hold a garage sale to unload some of the things that you will not need or want in your new home so that you have less to move. This will save you some time packing and get you a bit of extra money at the same time.
Before you buy real estate, you should spend some time in the neighborhoods the at you are interested in. Locals there are usually going to tell you more about what really happens in the area than a real estate agent who is working on a commission that they only get if the deal closes.
Before making a final decision on a home purchase, you'll want to have the house checked out by an inspector. Choose one yourself, instead of using one the seller or the seller's agent suggests. A good inspector will point out things that are wrong with the house, but only to a certain point — there are things that can be hidden even to a trained eye.
One important tip when it comes to real estate is to check the history of the area to see if there have been any natural disasters in the past. This can hopefully save you from property damage or loss of life with your home choice. This mainly is a tactic to use when moving to a new and unfamiliar territory. Such occurrences as flooding, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes tend to repeat in the same geographical areas.
One important tip when it comes to real estate is ease of travel. This is important because you want to make sure that you do not burden yourself with a long or difficult commute to work or to local shops as this may lead to regret eventually. Also try to anticipate the local roads in all weather conditions for the area.
When you are on the market for your next home, you have to decide whether to buy an existing home or a new one. If you desire more established neighborhoods closer to city services, you probably need to buy an older property. To have larger rooms, more bathrooms or significantly more storage spaces, you need to buy a new home.
If you are in the market for a new home, do not set yourself up for disappointment by focusing on just one home. You should be looking at several homes, so if a deal falls through when somebody else swoops in with a better offer, you know there are other options out there for you.
When you are touring a home for buying, try to picture yourself and your family in the home going through your daily routines. This is a way to see if the design and layout of the house fit your family's lifestyle. Decor can be easily changed, but remodeling the basic layout is a hassle. So you should consider this aspect of the house carefully.
If you want to be sure that what you see is what you get from your next home purchase, then home inspections are a necessity. While some of these inspections are costly, the cost of fixing major issues not covered in your sales contract is sure to be higher. Plus, any issues found in inspections will either be the responsibility of the seller to fix prior to closing or will be reflected in the closing price, making these inspections a very worthwhile investment.
Take the time to read through these tips as many times as you need to, so that you can remember each individual tip. You are going to save a great deal of time and grief by spending the extra time to learn the tips that can help you in your Ottawa rentals journey.

A crucial role for councils is to identify enough land to deliver the number of new homes they need. That is done as part of the Local Plan process. This post explains exactly how councils choose which sites should be developed.
The role of the Local Plan
Every council in England is supposed to have a Local Plan to guide development for the next 15 years or so. The Plan should set out what the council want their local area to look like at the end of that period of time. That might include things like: encouraging economic growth by identifying enough land for new businesses; improving the quality and quantity of parks and play space; even delivering new roads.
A central part of the Local Plan is setting out how many new homes are needed and exactly where they should be built. There are a number of steps that a council should follow when deciding which sites should be allocated for development.
Where should the new homes go?
The first part of the process is for a council to decide how the new homes should be spread across the area. There are lots of different ways of doing that depending on the characteristics of the borough. For example, the council might decide to focus most of the development on one large town with few new homes elsewhere. An alternative might be to increase the size of every town and village in proportion to its existing size. Or some parts of the area might not be suitable for new homes (perhaps they're in the Green Belt or at risk of flooding) so the supply of new homes needs to be weighted towards other areas. The council could even decide to build a whole new settlement.
A number of those different options will be tested by the council, including asking the public for their views. They then settle on a preferred option that will eventually form the basis of the Local Plan.
Which sites should be developed?
Once the general spread of new homes has been identified, the next stage is for the council to identify exactly which sites will be developed. Whichever sites the council choose must be deliverable – the homes proposed much actually get built. National planning policy sets out the following three tests to decide whether a site is deliverable:
1. Is the site suitable for development?
This test relates to the characteristics of the site. For example, is the the site in a location that relates well to existing housing and where there are local services that the new residents can use? It also takes into account factors like flood risk, ecology, traffic issues and heritage designations.
2. Is development of the site achievable?
This test concerns technical matters about the development of the site. For example, can access be provided to the site? Issues like contamination, drainage and topography are also considered.
3. Is the site available for development?
If a site owner won't make a site available for development, there is no point allocating it for new homes. This test is usually satisfied by showing the involvement of a developer or land promoter, or by showing that the owner is preparing a planning application of their own.
Spoilt for choice
In any given location, the council will normally have a number of deliverable sites they can choose from. To help them decide which sites are most appropriate for development, they carry out a 'sustainability appraisal' scoring each one against a variety of different factors.
Inevitably, however, the decision involves an element of subjectivity. Sites frequently have very similar sustainability 'scores' while those scores themselves are often based on subjective judgements. The scores don't even have to be followed. A council may justify including a site with a lower score for other reasons – to achieve a balance of development around a settlement, for example.
That means that the process can be a bit like a beauty parade. To give a site the best possible chance, it is is important for land owners to provide information to the council explaining how their site is suitable, achievable and available. It can also show what a development on the site might look like.
That is often done by preparing a 'Development Statement' supported by specialist technical reports. You can see an example of one of those statements here.
Confirming the allocations
Once the council has made their choice, the proposed allocations are subject to public consultation. That provides an opportunity for objectors to identify reasons why development shouldn't take place on that site.
The owners of competing sites which haven't been identified for development are also likely to push their own credentials – and may criticise your site in the process. That may result in the council making some changes to the list of sites they want to see developed.
The final set of proposed development sites will be submitted to a government-appointed planning inspector. The inspector will consider the evidence supporting each allocation, and how well they will help the council achieve their overall vision for the borough. If the inspector is happy with the proposals, the council will finally be able to adopt the plan, and bring those allocations into force.
How The Strategic Land Group can help
When councils are deciding which sites to allocate for development, there is an opportunity to secure support for new homes on your site. We've explained in general terms how you can turn that new Plan to your advantage in this previous post.
As you would expect though, even for sites that have strong development credentials, that process is complicated, time consuming and expensive.
The Strategic Land Group is a specialist land promoter with a proven track record of delivering housing development on sites through the Local Plan process. We work with land owners to deliver planning permission on their behalf, at our cost and risk. Our return is a share of the value of the site once it is sold. If we don't succeed, it doesn't cost you anything.
If you have a site that you think might benefit from our approach, get in touch with us today for a free, no obligation assessment.

Wild Rocket
Posted May 3, 2015on:
- In: Chinese | Food | Reviews
- 2 Comments
Wild Rocket has been around in the Singapore food scene for quite some time now, having opened back in 2005 by lawyer-turned-chef Willin Low. His 'ModSin' cuisine, short for modern Singaporean cuisine, has since garnered him many distinctions and awards for good food.
I visited Wild Rocket a long time back, maybe about 6 years ago and I quite liked it, so I thought it would be a good time to revisit Wild Rocket since they had just renovated the restaurant in 2014 and revamped the menu as well. Something new is their omakase tasting menu, which nets you a seat at the counter so that Chef Willin can explain his dishes to you.
Hokkaido scallop carpaccio with chye poh, kombu flakes and truffle infusion. Chef Willin's take on an atas chwee kueh, and it was really good – very smooth with the right touches of umami.
Thai-inspired pomelo salad with frozen coconut dressing. This dish is a bit of a mind-bender, because of the frozen coconut milk making the whole dish remind me of nasi lemak, and yet all the Thai flavours coming through to make the whole dish a cacophony of familiar tastes.
Aburi minced otoro and tang hoon that's been cooked with iberico lard. Chef Willin says this is his version of bak chor mee – the fat of the land meets the fat of the sea. I don't even have to tell you how good this is – from the ingredients used, you'd already know.
Noodles cooked in prawn stock, drizzled with lobster oil, mixed with ebi-miso (prawn brains), and finally topped with a giant grilled tiger prawn. Chef Willins says that when he was a student overseas, most Asian restaurants there would have a dish called Singapore noodles, which of course doesn't exist here.
So he decided to call that mythical dish his own, and fuse it with his take on Hokkien mee. I love anything with prawns and this dish is packed to the max with prawn flavours. The tiger prawn was also ridiculously huge.
Cha ye dan (tea leaf egg), shredded Savoy cabbage with dried shrimp, and grilled codfish. Not the most interesting dish in the omakase but the codfish was grilled to perfection!
Crab cake on salted egg yolk paste. The crab cake is made from 100% Vietnamese spanner crab with no fillers, and rests on a bed of salted egg yolk paste. Something simple, tasty, and reminiscent of the salted egg yolk crabs we order at seafood zi char restaurants.
48 hour sous vide beef short rib wrapped in chee cheong fun with black bean sauce. This was one of the weaker dishes, maybe it needed a stronger flavour profile. The short rib was pretty good though.
Pineapple sorbet with chilli padi powder, mint flakes, and soy sauce crystal salt. A very modern update on a classic Singaporean way of eating pineapples from the 70s – they used to eat slices of pineapple with chilli padi and dipped in soy sauce. And it's one hell of a palate cleanser!
Matcha sugee cake with pure coconut ice-cream. This is the traditional Eurasian sugee cake, made from semolina flour but mixed with matcha to cut the richness of the cake. It's also typically served at Eurasian weddings.
The omakase at Wild Rocket is certainly a wonderful trip down memory lane, remixing familiar tastes in surprising ways, so it's definitely worth visiting to try it.
However, considering that only about half the dishes in the omakase have changed after 1 year, you might have to wait several more years to see if the variety of dishes undergoes a complete change.

Located in Hudson, The Horseshoe Pub is a family-welcome restaurant with 80 beers on tap.
Photos by Nicole Franzen
Our mission is to provide high quality, freshly prepared food at reasonable prices. The Horseshoe also goes further to provide a unique selection of beer, wine, and cocktail to enjoy alongside the food.
A little history for you…
The Horseshoe Pub building was built by F. D. Brigham in 1832, and occupied the lot next to Town Hall, on Main Street in the charming little burg we call Hudson, MA. The building was moved before 1880 to its present location on South Street, to make way for the construction of Jeff's Block. It became part of the property of H. H. Mawhinney and Company, later Logan Shoe Company, and was the home of one of the foremen and his family.
Then in 1980...
The building was taken over by the Horseshoe Pub and Restaurant. The restaurant's name originated from the relationship with a partner who was in the Harness Horse Racing business. In 1984, the Pizzimento family bought out their partner, and the Horseshoe is presently run by Nick and Paula . In September of 2004, renovations were completed to what the building is today.

NextPlay featured in an episode of Office Hacks
The music program at LinkedIn is definitely one of my favorite perks, and our company band was lucky to be featured in an episode of Office Hacks.
The modern workplace has many perks, but this one might call for a standing ovation. Professional social network giant, LinkedIn, not only has a dedicated space for employees to connect musically, it even has its own house band. And they're good!
Secret story behind this: we had to do an original song but we've never performed it together. Our drummer picked this up in minutes and I'm singing it for the first time!

An interview with the "Brains On!" science podcast
How does the internet get to us? In an interview with Minnesota Public Radio's "Brains On!" science podcast, I discuss what it was like connecting to the internet with dial up and why it was done that way.
When we all first started wanting to get connected to the Internet, we had to find some way to get everybody's computers connected using whatever technologies we already had. And what did we have? Well, it turns out – and this was especially true before cell phones – that just about every home already had a dedicated phone line for the shared house phone.

Mitigating a brute-force login attack via telnet backdoor
I have a VPS through Linode that I use to host dozens of websites (including this one). Securing your server against brute-force login attempts is one of the first steps you should take when setting up a new server, and Linode details this fairly well.
However, one day I was surprised to notice that my CPU usage, though steady, was hovering at close to 90%. A peek at the historical usage showed this this had been increasing steadily for over a week now, but went under the radar.
A look at
top revealed
accounts-daemon (the service that handles user authentication) to be the culprit, and my
/var/log/wvmb file (which logs failed logins) was draining my available disk space to nearly nothing.
Okay, easy enough. Let's cut off SSH access until I have time to figure out why the usual defenses weren't working. However, the attack continued. How could this be?
Turns out the attack was happening with an old authentication method called telnet. Every article I read about telnet suggested using SSH instead for its superior security when authenticating yourself, but I couldn't find any resources about securing telnet against malicious login attempts.
I was able to successfully mitigate the attack by turning off telnet authentication completely. In my case, I commented out this line in
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd

Instant Messaging at LinkedIn
Very proud of the work done by my team to bring instant messaging to LinkedIn!
We recently introduced Instant Messaging on LinkedIn, complete with typing indicators and read receipts. To make this happen, we needed a way to push data from the server to mobile and web clients over persistent connections instead of the traditional request-response paradigm that most modern applications are built on. In this post, we'll describe the mechanisms we use to instantly send messages, typing indicators, and read receipts to clients as soon as they arrive.

Pure CSS Star Rating Input
This weekend, I ventured to find a simple star rating input for a personal project. There are many implementations floating around that are not semantic, not accessible, or needlessly complicated.
Below is my implementation that uses the semantically-appropriate HTML radio inputs needed by keyboard users, includes Unicode text labels for both display and screen readers, and avoids use of JS.

Smarter LinkedIn Messaging with Bots
Check out what my team has been working on!
"Our focus is really to help our members unlock the power of their networks through smarter and more productive conversations," said Mark Hull, head of product for the LinkedIn messaging team, in a presentation.
If a user is looking at a company where they'd like to work, LinkedIn's messaging box will show that user a list of friends who work at the company whom they could connect with. If the user doesn't know what to say initially, "we give them the words to say to help them with that conversation, just to kick things off," Hull explained. The smart messaging system would also add a link to the relevant job listing, giving more context to the conversation.
Now that they're in a conversation, these two friends can call up a bot to scan their Google calendars and find a time that works for both of them, without leaving the messaging box. LinkedIn will also look at where both parties have gone previously and suggest a location for the meeting.

On August 30th, our lives changed forever. We woke up at 5 am, unable to sleep any longer, anticipating the birth of our baby. The plan was that I would be induced that day. It was 4 days past his due date and we were ready to meet him. We left the house around 6 and ate at the only place open – IHOP. There we met the sweetest waitress who shared stories and memories of her grandchildren. She was genuinely thrilled for us and we parted with a hug and a promise to return with a baby soon. She also told us she would keep us in prayer during this time which we very much appreciated. We left feeling even more excited and grateful God had placed this special lady in our path. It made our day that much better and we felt so encouraged going forward.

Margaret Sanger formed the first birth-control clinic in 1916 in Brooklyn, N.Y. and later, the American Birth Control league in 1921. The two would merge and became the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc, (PPFA) in 1942.
Planned Parenthood is the largest U.S. provider of reproductive health services, including cancer screening, HIV screening and counseling, contraception, and abortion. The remarkable thing is that the original organization, created by Margaret Sanger, was staunchly against abortion, and stressed responsibility. The beginning of the abortion era began only after her death in September 6, 1966.
Sanger felt that in order for women to have greater equality in society, as well as healthier lives, they needed to be able to determine when to bear children. Also, she wanted to prevent dangerous and mostly illegal back-alley abortions.
Sanger, while supporting the prevention of unwanted pregnancy, was adamantly against abortion and promiscuity. She stated "every normal man and woman has the power to control and direct his sexual impulse. She believed that women had the ability to control their sexual impulses, and should utilize that control to avoid sex outside of relationships marked by "confidence and respect." She believed that exercising such control would lead to the "strongest and most sacred passion."
Sanger's interest in birth control measures to protect against dangerous abortions was honorable, but she had another goal -- eugenics. She believed that eugenics and birth control both sought to "assist the race toward the elimination of the unfit."
Sanger was a proponent of negative eugenics, which aims to improve human hereditary traits through social intervention by reducing reproduction by those considered unfit. In her book The Pivot of Civilization, she advocated coercion to prevent the "undeniably feeble-minded" from procreating. Although Sanger supported negative eugenics, she asserted that eugenics alone was not sufficient, and that birth control was essential to achieve her goals.
In contrast with eugenicists who advocated euthanasia for the unfit, Sanger wrote, "we [do not] believe that the community could or should send to the lethal chamber the defective progeny resulting from irresponsible and unintelligent breeding." Similarly, Sanger denounced the aggressive and lethal Nazi eugenics program. In addition, Sanger believed the responsibility for birth control should remain in the hands of able-minded individual parents rather than the state, and that self-determining motherhood was the only unshakable foundation for racial betterment.
Sanger also supported restrictive immigration policies. In "A Plan for Peace", a 1932 essay, she proposed a congressional department to address population problems. She also recommended that immigration exclude those "whose condition is known to be detrimental to the stamina of the race," and that sterilization and segregation be applied to those with incurable, hereditary disabilities.
Sanger's family planning advocacy always focused on contraception, rather than abortion. It was not until the mid-1960s, after Sanger's death, that the reproductive rights movement expanded its scope to include abortion rights as well as contraception. Sanger was opposed to abortions, both because they were dangerous for the mother in the early 20th century and because she believed that life should not be terminated after conception. In her book Woman and the New Race, she wrote, "while there are cases where even the law recognizes an abortion as justifiable if recommended by a physician, I assert that the hundreds of thousands of abortions performed in America each year are a disgrace to civilization."
In her 1938 autobiography, Sanger noted her opposition to abortion: "[In 1916] we explained what contraception was; that abortion was the wrong way no matter how early it was performed it was taking life; that contraception was the better way, the safer way—it took a little time, a little trouble, but was well worth while in the long run, because life had not yet begun." And in her book Family Limitation, Sanger wrote that "no one can doubt that there are times when an abortion is justifiable but they will become unnecessary when care is taken to prevent conception. This is the only cure for abortions."
Margaret Sanger knew life began at conception, and that the womans' sole rights existed up to that point. After that point, there were two lives, each with rights to life. When Sanger started her crusade, contraception didn't exist, but now almost a hundred years later, there are plenty. There is no reason anyone gets pregnant, other than by acting irresponsibility, except in rare cases of rape or incest. Sanger did not believe in abortion and the fact that Planned Parenthood carries on her legacy while performing the same is an abomination.

Namibia's Ministry of Environment and Tourism fighting against the extinction of the Western Arid Adapted Black Rhino
"Poaching, extinction and slaughter" are the words synonymous when dealing with black rhino throughout Africa, but out here in a remote arid corner of Namibia the tables have been turned and antonyms are more commonly used. In the inaccessible northwest region of Namibia lives a population of rhino that is the only one in the world that has survived on communal land with no formal conservation status and they are truly the largest and only totally free ranging population of black rhino left in the world. They not only survive but flourish in one of the harshest environs on our planet, the Namib, the oldest and one of the driest deserts in the world, with a mean annual rainfall that is below 100 mm. The Namib can trace its arid ancestry back at least 55 million years, sufficient time for the region's biodiversity to adapt to the severe conditions. The Western arid adapted subspecies of black rhino is just one mega-herbivore from a list of endemics that has adapted to this austere environment. The Namib is a harsh, arid landscape of rugged mountains, barren gravel plains and windswept sand-dunes that are constantly on the move. Surface water here is extremely scarce with only a few secret springs where the myriad of desert species can slake their thirst. It is here where we have come to find our rhino.
Namibia's Ministry of Environment and Tourism have embarked on an ambitious project, who's aim is to increase these rhino numbers and their range. They propose to do this through a custodianship program where suitable rhino from high population areas are captured and relocated to areas that formed part of the rhino's traditional range.
Somewhere out here in the middle of nowhere, at a GPS point location, is where we finally meet up with the team, a small dedicated band of men from Namibia's game capture unit who plan to find, dart and move a number of desert rhino to their new locations. Before sunrise on our first morning the team's spirits are momentarily dampened by a thick mist that has been pushed inland from the cold Atlantic Ocean, but as the first cup of early morning coffee is brewed the spirits lift, orders are barked and the ground crews set out to begin their search for any sign of the elusive rhino. The crew assigned to the helicopter has the luxury of another quick cup before the sun is able to dissipate the last remnants of mist and soon we are up, hugging the contours of the terrain, flying over a monotonous basalt red landscape. Finding a rhino out here should be simple, or so I thought. Straining our eyes and battling with depth perception, with nothing out there to help gauge size, we dip down to check each dry river course and we fly over something I hadn't expected out here, lush green circles of grass sprinkled with color, an instant response to a light rain shower just a few days before. The color was fleeting and moments later we are back, sweeping over the featureless and barren landscape when through the headphones, the word "rhino" crackles and the helicopter immediately banks sharply to one side.
A rhino has been spotted and he has taken off over the rock-strewn plains. We swoop down as the vet needs a closer look to make sure if it is a worthy candidate for relocation. He gives a thumbs up, "He's a perfect specimen, a young bull, he'll do nicely." Military precision now takes over and coordinates are relayed through to the ground crew, they are still a way off so we settle down on a hilltop to await their arrival. The down time is well spent, the vet prepares his darts, checks and rechecks all the equipment, while the rest of the team attempt to keep the still mobile rhino in sight, but soon all we can see is a cloud of dust disappearing over the distant horizon. It is some time later before the ground crew manage to reach the vicinity and when they are nearby we take to the sky. We buzz down perilously close to the thundering hindquarters for the vet to take his shot. The luminous tailpiece of the dart protruding from the rhino's hindquarters leaves us in no doubt that the target was acquired. Again we pull away, but this time we can't afford to land, the clock is ticking and the ground crew are racing towards the latest set of coordinates. Every second counts now. It is a few minutes before the rhino begins to slow and show the first signs of the drug taking effect. He stumbles slightly and takes another step before falling over. Before his dust has settled the helicopter dispenses the team and the rhino is immediately hooked up so that his vitals can be monitored. Mixed in with the dust kicked up by the rhino is the new wave of dust created by the arrival of the ground crew, It's an open air ER, with monitors beeping and stats and orders being called out, "temperature, pulse, get that oxygen in, get him cooled down" The team seems to anticipate the commands and no sooner are they issued than the request is complied with. A frenzy of activity surrounds the immobile rhino, with a number of functions taking place simultaneously, a transmitter is placed in the horn, measurements are taken, antibiotics administered, ID notches and photos are taken and before anyone has taken a second breath a crate is rolled up and the half dazed rhino is prodded to his feet, a thick rope guides him in and the doors are slammed shut. A collective intake of breath, a couple of wry smiles break through on the dust covered faces and everyone is relieved that it was another successful capture.
Black rhino are at the best of times socially dysfunctional, aggressive, myopic and extremely short-tempered. So, bumping into a black rhino out here with nowhere to run or hide can turn into a hazardous experience very quickly. That is why we need to consult the experts - the experts being members of a small conservation organization Save the Rhino Trust, who have been tracking and monitoring this population since the early 80's when poaching was at its peak. Rudi Loutit, CEO of the trust spreads a map before us, his finger stabs at a few non-descript regions on the map.
"Here, here and here are the areas worth checking" Loutit points out - again it looks like we might be using GPS coordinates to navigate around this featureless terrain. The Trust has monitored and protected the population of rhino that exist outside the protection of the National Parks for the last thirty years. The effort and efficiency with which they do this has resulted in a tripling of the once nearly-depleted population. All the monitoring of the rhino has been done from the ground, the hard way. Trackers spend hours piecing together little bits of evidence that will lead them in the right direction and hopefully to a rhino.
We spend days in our Land Rover, never having to use our expected lifeline, the GPS - these trackers know every spring and gully, and they navigate over the featureless terrain by total instinct. Hour after hour, day after day we check every track we find, we follow the fresh ones and still we haven't had sighting of these reclusive animals. We navigate through narrow gorges, over rolling dunes, windswept gravel plains and down to the coastal dunes that make up part of the formidable Skeleton Coast- it is here on the wind blasted coastline that we find our most western sign of rhino, tracks on the dunes not far from the chilly Atlantic Ocean.
Our first rhino, after days of tracking and searching is just standing out there, calmly feeding. We pile out of the vehicle, check the wind direction and move off to get a better view. We settle down a respectable distance away and watch a prehistoric looking tri-toed creature adapted to living in this primordial landscape munch on a bush that is so toxic it can be extremely dangerous to a human that just brushes against it by mistake. We do feel exposed out here with nowhere to run or hide but we have faith in the fact that black rhino are extremely short sighted, but I'm not so sure about those radar like ears that continuously rotate, missing very little. A snort is the only warning we get before the rhino drops its head and thunders towards us. We are a sufficient distance away for me not to be concerned, just yet, but watching a rhino charge straight at you when there is nowhere to run, or nowhere to hide, is comparable to sitting on a highway watching an eighteen wheeler truck come straight towards you. The rhino grinds to a halt a few meters in front of us, spins around and trots off in the opposite direction, as if nothing had happened. When my pulse, thumping in my ears subsides I can begin to enjoy our first sighting of a western arid adapted rhino.
Namibia's conservation strategies for these rhino are unique. The Ministry of Environment and Tourism are progressive and forward-thinking in implementing policies that will ensure the future of this subspecies of rhino. The entire rhino population, seen as a "national asset and belonging to all the people of Namibia," falls under their stewardship. Communities that once competed with the rhino for habitat are now part of a rhino custodianship program and rhino relocated into their areas are an additional drawcard for their flourishing tourism enterprises. These community conservancies are about to be formally recognized when the new "Kunene People's Park" is gazetted. The formidable Skeleton Coast National Park and the famous Etosha National Park will be linked through a patchwork of conservancies and concessions, and in doing so will create one of the largest conservation areas in the world, thus ensuring a viable habitat for the entire western arid adapted rhino population.

Life is a wild ride, and this year seems to be one of my wildest. I love traveling, but I wasn't expecting to have Australia, Maldives, and Fiji under my belt by mid year. And with Tahiti, New York, Bali, and France upcoming, it was particularly nice to squeeze in a few days with my bestie Sage Erickson at home on the North Shore. Being apart of the WSL tour, her travel schedule is always more hectic than mine. So for the stars to align for her to spend a Summer week in Hawaii was pretty major.
I've had my water housing for over a year now. To me, having a housing was about experimentation and being immersed in a familiar yet unpredictable medium with a camera. I always new I wanted to my first housing to be from Waterhousings Hawaii. Taro Pascual is family and makes every water housing by hand through molds he's also made himself. Handmade by family, in my hometown on the North Shore; it was a no-brainer. With tv series Lost, the original Point Break, and shorebreak photographer Clark Little on his client list, having one of his housings is pretty sentimental. My housing feels like a family heirloom of sorts, and if digital cameras didn't evolve so damn fast I would pass it on to my future kiddos.
This is a snippet of the water images we collected that week for an upcoming project of Sage's. Bitty waves and giggling like 7yr olds, just her and I enjoying a last light session on the North Shore. As you can see, style comes easy for her.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi Visits the Seleni Institute
The Seleni Institute was honored last week to welcome the first female Speaker of the US House of Representatives in US history and current House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi to tour its facility and learn more about both Seleni and the mental health issues women face during their reproductive years.
Leader Pelosi said, "The Seleni Institute is a remarkable model for caring for women's mental health. The team's passion and commitment to excellence were thoroughly evident in their work with women and families."
During her visit, Leader Pelosi toured the facility, including Seleni's complementary care wing devoted to acupuncture and massage, individual psychotherapy offices, and group support rooms. Leader Pelosi also had the opportunity to visit with mothers and babies attending our breastfeeding support clinic.
After meeting Seleni staff and clinicians, Leader Pelosi sat with Seleni founder and executive chairwoman Nitzia Logothetis, clinical director Christiane Manzella, and executive director Rebecca Benghiat. They discussed Seleni's 360-degree approach to supporting women and families experiencing postpartum mood disorders, infertility, miscarriage and child loss, pregnancy complications, infant sleep and eating issues, and relationship and parenting difficulties.
"Seleni's model of care is unique, and it was an honor to share our approach and philosophy with Leader Pelosi," said Ms. Logothetis. "Her devotion to empowering women is long-standing, and we're grateful to add our voice to a national conversation about supporting women and strengthening families."

Something as simple as the quality of your speaking notes can take your presentation from tentative to confident. While it may be easier to write a script, using notes with key words and phrases is more effective.
Why not use a script? Unless you're a trained actor or broadcaster, you'll likely sound monotone if you read from a script. You'll sound like you're reading, not speaking, and will fail to establish a connection with your audience.
Here are tips for writing speaking notes for yourself and others:
Phrases, Not Paragraphs
Break your presentation or speech into sections or key points. Your notes may include the flag phrases that begin each section, such as "Our focus as a company this year is ____" or "We're seeing shift in ____." Under each flag phrase or opening, you can jot down key facts, data or stories to trigger your memory.
One Thought Per Sentence
The most common mistake is using complex thoughts or sentences. The notes are written for the reader's eye, not the spoken word. Even if the information is divided into dot-points, it's too complicated to say aloud. Eliminate extra words and focus on the key phrases. This is especially important if you're a public relations professional who writes speaking notes for executive leaders.
Include brief stories and quotes in your notes. If a section begins with a phrase such as "A customer told me…" or "My experience has been…" you'll sound more natural and confident.
Large type and plenty of white space will allow you to read your notes easily while speaking. Mark-up your notes with underlining or bold type for the key points.
Empty your hands
I recommend that you leave your notes on a nearby table or lectern. My experience is that speakers rarely look at the notes when they hold the piece of paper. Instead, they clutch or wave the paper in a manner that's distracting to the audience. If you need to hold your notes, use a stiff notebook or folder so that you can't twist or fold the paper as you speak.
Practice Aloud
Give your speaking notes a "test drive" and practice aloud. You'll quickly determine whether the notes are making you a more confident speaker or if they need another round of edits.

- Gold Update
- Cryptocurrency trading and some thoughts about how to trade going forward as the upcoming potential bitcoin hardfork comes closer.
- I am bullish on bitcoin; not because of what the libertarians and sound money people are saying. I am bullish, because it is an officially sponsored asset, developed and promoted by dark intelligence. Bitcoin is the prototype NWO currency.
- The NWO shills are bashing Bitcoin and provide the Hegelian, false opposition needed to propel it higher. The best option to those who really oppose it is not to say anything and not discuss it in the press.
- Look at the sound money advocates fleeing gold and moving into bitcoin and the alt-coins.
- Bonds are well supported as economic data shows inflation is muted. Short term rates may not move up as much as some think.
- I have not seen a better time to trade small cap stocks since the late 90's
- Some ideas on where to concentrate with stock trading
- Beware of the perma-bears in asset markets. These real estate bears have been bearish since last decade and all throughout the market bottom.

Smithers marks Exmouth 2nds debut with try in defeat at Brixham 2nds
PUBLISHED: 13:37 04 December 2018
A trip to Astley Park, Brixham is never easy and so it proved once again for the Exmouth 2nd XV, who went down 38-21 to a strong home outfit.
For large parts of the game Exmouth dominated proceedings.
However, when on top they did not get the scores required, but, trailing 24-0 at the break, the Cockles did mount a spirited second half revival up the notorious slope.
Tries were scored by Connor Smithers, crossing the whitewash on his 2nd XV debut, Erin Inglis and Rich Cadywould and the trusty boot of Cadywould also saw to three successful conversions.
The Cockles' cause was not helped by the loss of Will Hockin to injury, but, to a man, they gave their all.
Despite the reversal, Exmouth 2nds remain top of the Devon Merit Table One and this Saturday (December 8) they entertain eighth placed Crediton (2pm).

As a person undertaking agro-forestry of bamboo, we process Iron Bamboo for Handicrafts, Martial Art or Medieval Replica Weapons for Self Defense, which involves specialized methods and techniques of processing and preservation, to increase its durability.
Preservation techniques-
The empirical wisdom or popular knowledge, of indigenous people, peasants, farmers and artisans, has been developed through centuries in all the continents and has resulted in well-known methods and techniques to effectively preserve bamboo. Traditional methods are generally cheaper to implement and can be done without any special equipment.
For proper Preservation of iron bamboo, it must be harvested/cut early mornings, before sunrise, in winters - on a waning moon.** (This is a controversial topic, scientists argue over the truth behind this "peasant knowledge". Nevertheless, detailed studies show remarkable differences with untreated bamboo, when harvested at specific hours and moon phases. The starch content is lowest between waning gibbous and last quarter between the 6th and 8th day after full moon due to the higher gravitation of the moon. On the basis of photosynthesis, in the course of the morning, bamboo starts transporting starch from the roots into the leaves.
Soaking- After harvest, bamboo is stored in running water for 3-4 weeks to leach out starch.
Chemical Treatments ( any one -to be done immediately after harvesting or after soaking)-
CCA (copper-chrome-arsenic composition, in the proportion 3: 1:4) is good for bamboo, but has associated health hazards. Thus, it has to be used judiciously, if at all. Bamboo products are tanalised, impregnated under pressure or boiled with chromated copper arsenate (CCA) to protect against rot. CCA is effective but toxic/carcinogenic.
ACA- Ammoniacal copper arsenate penetration in bamboo is effective against fungi, bacteria and insects. However, ACA is eco-toxic non-degradable.
CCB and CCBF - commercially ASCU.
Boric acid, borax and boron are cheaper than CCA and less poisonous. This is used at a concentration of 2.5 per cent each, to be dissolved in hot water. The preservative, (disodium octaborate- which forms as a result of the reaction), is easily soluble in water. This process is only recommended for bamboo culms that would not be exposed to water or rain. Boron salts are effective against borers, termites and fungi (except soft rot fungi), and is widely recognized to be environmentally acceptable and safe for the mammals.
Other alternatives methods:Treatment of bamboo with limewater.
Drying of bamboo before use is necessary since dry bamboo is stronger and less susceptible to biological degradation than moist bamboo. In some experiments carried out it was found that Acetic acid (Vinegar), completely prevented moulds/fungus incidence during the drying process. (Tang et al., 2009).
Following the drying, the bamboo is TRADITIONALLY smoked by storing it above a fireplace, to blacken the culm. This, however, may not be necessary if chemical methods are used.
Fire Retardant Preservative- This treatment is intended to protect materials against fire as well as decay and insect attack. A mixture of boric acid / copper sulphate / zinc chloride / sodium dichromate in a ratio of 3:1:5:6 is recommended at 25% for indoor and outdoor use
For Termites- 1% Dieldrin may be added to the preservative. However, Dieldrin is dangerous, and use is illegal in several countries.
