Budva – Austrian Soravia Group still hasn't submitted bank guarantees for the lease of Slovenska plaza and for the construction of the hotel in its surrounding – it was said yesterday from Budva Riviera which is administering that tourist lodgment.
– Another status quo. Until when this situation will continue I really don't know. We are working as if this situation will be permanent – said the director of Slovenska plaza Krsto Ljubanovic to radio Free Europe.
According to his words, while the guarantees are not submitted any construction will not be allowed.
Soravia group on the 10th of January has signed in Vienna with HTE Budva Riviera the contract about the lease of Slovenska plaza for 21 year and the construction of the Hilton hotel in Budva which would be 40 millions of euros worth.
After that two new stock societies were formed. Soravia – Montenegro resort will manage the existing capacities of Slovenska plaza, and Soravia-Budva will construct the Hilton hotel on the locality of Slovenska plaza.

If you have any memories of travel on the APT - Please let me know !
Just before 07.00 passengers were advised of our impending departure by the guard, and the plug type sliding doors were closed. As the train gathered speed out of Glasgow, the rapid acceleration was impressive and the riding qualities over the complex crossovers tended to be dominated by a rolling component rather than a vertical movement. Getting away through the suburbs, speed was over 100 mph by Uddingston, with our first stop at Motherwell scheduled 13 minutes out of Glasgow. Our arrival was just under 13 minutes after what can only be described as a unique experience in braking, which demonstrated how effective is the combined, effect of hydro-kinetic and conventional brakes. Blending in of the conventional brakes at about 50 mph gave one the impression of good control right down to a stand. Getting away smartly from Motherwell one noted a certain "bumpiness" which could almost be likened to the sensation of wheel slip. Our rapid restart was not sustained since regrettably there had been a signal failure near Carluke, 7½ miles from Motherwell, and we stood for over three minutes before we were allowed to proceed. As a result we passed Carstairs about 8 minutes late and then continued up to Beattock summit which was passed 9 minutes late at a speed of 117 mph. A wintry dawn was just breaking over Hart Fell as we began the winding descent. This was to be the first visible experience of the tilt mechanism and with the speeds touching 125 mph the ride seemed smooth and effortless. The only indication of tilt is seeing the skyline outside rising or falling. Mr Leslie Soane, General Manager, Scottish Region, announced over the train communication system that we had reached 125 mph on the run down from the Summit. We trundled into Carlisle to a drizzly morning just under 5½ minutes late, some 72 minutes after leaving Glasgow. The climb up to Shap Summit took just over 22 minutes, despite the 90 mph speed restriction at Penrith and a reduction in speed to 20 mph for a P.W. check at the site of Shap station. As we came barrelling down through the Lune valley, one could sense the coach tilting to a greater degree with speeds approaching 125 mph. Eventually we drew up in Preston approximately 4 minutes late after experiencing once again the technique of rapid braking from 126 mph at Garstang.
At Preston crews are changed and the Polmadie driver handed over to his colleague from the L.M. Region. Our stop at Preston was more than twice the permitted 2 minutes. With the guard closing the doors one or two new passengers seemed slightly confused, but there was no doubt about our acceleration as we reached over 100 mph in the four miles to Leyland. The Cheshire Plain from Warrington to Crewe was crossed at an average of 110 mph. The running through the Trent Valley was equally impressive and it was clear that clearance had been given to regain some of the lost time. It was just under the hour from Preston when we roared through Polesworth (102.3 miles) with speed around the 125 mph mark, so that by Rugby we were just over two minutes early. The fastest speed was still to be experienced, for at Blisworth, a maximum of 138 mph was recorded and later confirmed. Within the train throughout this running there was no sensation of exceptional speed, although occasionally a bad stretch of track caused a slight jolt. A number of passengers were interviewed by the media who seemed concerned about our state of health. They were most disappointed when everyone said they had enjoyed the run and were not suffering from 'sea-sickness'. We rolled into Euston just under one minute early, having taken 254 minutes for the overall journey of 401.4 miles. The actual running time of 245 minutes 41 seconds represented an outstanding performance. Sir Peter Parker was on hand to welcome our arrival and there was a barrage of flash guns as photographers, both amateur and professional caught the event for posterity.
Thirty years later Kit travelled by Virgin Pendolino 390053 from Glasgow Central to London Euston.
Special APT press run 16:35 Euston - Glasgow 3hr 52min 40sec.
During the later months of 1984, APT was put in to regular service on a Glasgow-London-Glasgow diagram, as an unadvertised relief.
I traveled several times on APT during this period. The only way of making a day trip from London was by taking an early morning train to Crewe, and changing there for Preston, arriving in time to catch the up APT back to Euston. These were nail-biting expeditions - this was before the era of the mobile phone, and British Rail never seemed quite sure whether the train would run or not. We had two opportunities to telephone to establish whether the trip was "on" - once from Euston, before APT was due to have left Glasgow, and once at Crewe, whilst changing trains. At that point, APT should have already been on her way, though we were once told she was not running because of wheel flats. A sixth sense guided us to Preston, where we found, to our relief, she was indeed on her way from the North.
There was the strange ritual at Preston of obtaining a "boarding pass" - not the only thing BR borrowed from the airlines during its APT experiment. The boarding pass was nothing more than a badly photocopied slip of paper, but it clearly played an important part in getting us onto the train. BR staff were unashamedly proud of their new toy. It may have been an unadvertised relief, but the relish in the announcer's voice at Preston was obvious; "the next train to arrive on platform three will be the Advanced Passenger Train service to London Euston, calling at…"
Poor APT's wings were well and truly clipped on these runs. She was officially limited to 125mph, and restricted by the presence of the slower InterCity service just ahead. The pattern of each journey would be a lively (and indeed slightly bouncy) acceleration from the station stop, 125mph (or more) being gained very quickly, followed by an inevitable slowing to 100mph once the service train had been caught. The excitement was therefore in the first 15 minutes or so after each station. Regrettably, I did not keep my logs, but I can remember 136mph as being the fastest speed I recorded. This remains the fastest I have ever timed on BR (the next being 132mph on an HST between Swindon and Reading).
The ride was the most exciting I have ever experienced by rail. A bit bouncy as it accelerated from a stand, but very nippy - wonderful acceleration and braking. A bit claustrophobic inside, and the tartan moquette was a bit loud. Still, it was by then, completely reliable, and it was a great tragedy that this wonderful train never saw squadron service.
The train was usually almost empty, and many of the passengers were BR staff and engineers who had worked on the APT project. Others were enthusiasts, and there would usually be one or two people who had missed their train at Glasgow, were delighted to find there was a relief. It was like a small and friendly club. There were two separate portions, each with a buffet as the central power car had been cordoned off as a result of fears that the intense magnetic fields would interfere with heart pacemakers. I had many conversations with APT engineers - obviously glowing with pride that their child had finally come good. "Of course she could do 180mph if she were allowed to…"
After the public launch in 1981, the press had a field day with stories of "tilt sickness". Maybe this was as a result of badly adjusted or failed tilt mechanisms, because I can't say this there was any evidence of this on my runs in 1984, during which the tilt performed faultlessly. The only cause for complaint (possibly) would be the strange bouncing that accompanied any acceleration from standing. It was, of course, an unusual experience - on one side you would see ballast and running lines, on the other the sky, and the surface of the wine in a wine glass would stay level while the glass tilted - but it was not uncomfortable.
This period of APT's history culminated on December 12th when she set a new London-Glasgow record of 3hrs 52mins. That's 401 miles at an average speed of 103mph, which had included a five minute stop at Stafford due to track circuit failure.
It all seems so long ago now. I had 3 runs on the APT-P. The first time was a Euston to Glasgow run on a Friday morning on a BR staff only run. The train was formed of 2 power cars, but there was only one car behind the power cars plus the driving trailer. All the passengers sat forward of the power cars. This was one of the major design faults with the APT-P, the power cars in the centre effectively made it 2 trains requiring 2 crews to operate. I traveled in the 2nd class, the trim was a tartan check in all coaches, well they were supposed to be Scottish trains. We settled down with some excitement of the journey to follow. As we pulled slowly out of Euston, 2 things struck me, firstly the ride was not as smooth as a Mark 3 coach and secondly as we cleared the cross overs, the acceleration of this train was amazing, it was the first time I had traveled by train and actually been able to feel the acceleration. The interior of the coaches were fairly compact as the side swept in quite a lot to allow for the tilting.
Quickly up to a reasonable speed, the ride improved as the speed built, but it was still a bit harsh. We reached Wolverton (our home station), 52 miles out in 28 minutes and as we ran round the relatively tight bend, you could really sense the train leaning with the tilt. As we ran onto the viaduct north of the station, there was an almighty jolt and for a split second I thought we were off the rails, but of course we were not. The next highlight was as we ran along the side of the canal near Weedon. As the train again banked, I looked out of the window and had the sensation of looking into the canal, which was a bit disconcerting at the time. Looking back along the train, the angle of tilt was well demonstrated by looking at the uprights of the overhead wire gantry's, which appeared to lean over severely.
We were held up somewhere before Crewe and on leaving Crewe, the speed rose considerably and I remember checking it on the mile posts at over 140mph on several occasions. North of Preston and the train spent a lot of time tilting and I remember another passenger asking a member of the technical team on board about the tilting, I think he was asking why it wasn't operating, the technical team man informed him the tilt was being used. This was one of the things about the train, you could only tell it was tilting if you were looking out of the window, you couldn't feel it from inside really.
Braking was also impressive for the simple reason there was no smell, which anyone knows is very much associated with HST's and disc braked trains in general. We were late into Glasgow, I can't remember by how much, but the train had run reliably all the way.
The other times I traveled were on Friday 4.30 afternoon relief trains out of Euston that were run 3 times a week for some months. We went as far as Preston before catching a ex Blackpool train back to Rugby and then switching to the AM10 service back to Wolverton. We used to see how quickly we would get from Euston to Wolverton as this was the stretch I always found most impressive. On the second run we were delayed somewhere for sometime and nearly missed the return train, which on arriving at Preston already had the Electric Loco on and was ready to go.
We tried to travel one more time, but as we ran past the carriage sidings near Willesdon on the way into Euston on the AM10, the APT-P was still sitting there. On arrival at Euston, we went along to the usual platform, which from memory was 12 or 13, but there was nothing on the departure board about the train. On inquiring, we were told the service had been cancelled, we never found out why it was cancelled, I assume there was a technical fault. As we returned to Wolverton on the AM10 service, we again ran past Willesden and I was the APT-P for the last time. Soon after this the service was cancelled and the programme was cancelled.
Between 1997 and 2000, I worked with a chap who had been employed at Derby and had worked on breaking up some of the sets. Now I often wonder how it is that 30 years ago BR designed and built the most advanced train the world has ever seen and now we have to buy trains, including tilting trains from overseas.
IKB would turn in his grave.
Andy, ex BREL employee at Wolverton.

State senator seeks to help grocery stores sell beer
A proposed law would make it easier for shoppers to pick up a six-pack of beer with their groceries.
State Sen. David Argall last week introduced a bill that would remove the requirement for grocery stores between 8,000 and 55,000 square feet to have a restaurant in order to sell beer. The bill, Senate Bill 1003, has not yet been referred to a committee.
In recent years, grocery stores across Pennsylvania have begun offering beer. But they must obtain a restaurant liquor license and then establish a separate, cordoned-off section that offers seating and food.
That's not a problem for large grocery stores such as Giant, Weis and Wegmans. But for smaller grocery stores, giving up that space is not feasible.
Argall, a Republican who represents Schuylkill County and parts of Berks County, said several locally owned grocery stores reached out to him regarding the unfair competition they face with larger supermarket chains. In addition, he said some residents have asked him why beer sales are allowed in some of the largest supermarkets but not at smaller, locally owned stores.
"I believe the state should be fair to smaller grocery stores and current beer distributors by allowing them to compete with the larger supermarkets by having the ability to offer carryout beer," he said. "I believe Senate Bill 1003 is a reasonable approach to allow smaller grocers to offer six-packs to their customers."
Among those who support the bill is Maidencreek Township-based Redner's Warehouse Markets. The chain supports the bill for two primary reasons, said Jason Hopp, Redner's vice president and general counsel.
"One, our customers want convenience and being able to purchase fresh produce, meat, etc., as well as being able to buy beer and potentially wine," he said. "Secondly, Redner's needs to be competitive in the marketplace. You have competitors of ours that are offering beer in some of their stores, and we need to give the same shopping experience to our customers that are available elsewhere."
A spokeswoman for Giant said the company does not comment on proposed legislation, and a spokesman for Weis had no comment.
Hopp said a typical Redner's store is about 50,000 square feet and doesn't have the space to spare for a restaurant. The company's competitors, including Giant and Wegman's, meanwhile, typically have more than 100,000 square feet of space, he said.
"We need to offer all the products our customers expect, but it is more difficult under the current law for the Redner's of the world to offer a beer selection because our physical footprint is smaller," he said. "Many of our competitors that do offer beer have what I would call, it is legally compliant but it is not what a reasonable person would consider a restaurant. It satisfies the law, but in my view it does not appear to be a traditional restaurant."
If Redner's stores would get licenses, Hopp said they would sell beer responsibly, in a separate area sold by specially trained employees over the age of 21.
"It's not like we're going to be selling beer next to Froot Loops," he said.
The bill faces opposition from beer distributors and restaurants. While distributors fear grocery stores selling beer would take away potential sales, the restaurant industry fears grocery stores would begin gobbling up more liquor licenses that could otherwise be used by restaurants.
"As everyone knows, restaurants are the lifeblood of development," said John Longstreet, president and CEO of the Pennsylvania Restaurant and Lodging Association. "If the system is modified such that (grocery stores) don't have to follow the existing rules to get an 'R' license, the growth of the restaurant industry is going to be stymied, and that's bad for everyone."
Rather than modifying the rules for restaurant licenses, Longstreet said a new license specifically for grocery stores should be considered.
"Our members are less concerned about the competition of other people selling beer as they are about being able to grow the industry," he said.
Tom Mehaffie, president of the Malt Beverage Distributors Association of Pennsylvania, declined to comment on the bill because he had not yet read it.
Mike Garner, owner of Beer Mart on Morgantown Road, said he is against the bill, partly because he believes there are already enough outlets at which to purchase alcohol.
"It doesn't matter if you're a small grocery store with 10,000 items or a large grocery store with 50,000 items, they have other items they can sell," he said. "I have one item I can sell, and my hands are tied."
Garner believes the restaurants that grocery stores are establishing to sell beer are not, in fact, restaurants.
"They circumvent that by having a minimum amount of seats, serving little or no food, you're not allowed to drink on premises, and they only sell six-packs," he said. "That tells me they're misusing that license. Do they want to be a restaurant or do they want to be a distributor?"

Men's Mountain Masochist™ IV Trail Running Shoe is rated out of 5 by 33.
Rated 5 out of 5 by dishjockey from Good shoes A little stiff at first but breaks in quickly and are very comfortable
Date published: 2019-12-10
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sadden from Great show for the purpose it was created, trail running. The shoe fits well, it's comfortable, and it has a glove like fit. I would rather have a different type of lacing up system, then what it currently has.
Date published: 2019-12-09
Rated 2 out of 5 by Marceditor from Not for use in rocky or uneven ground area Very life weight, comfortable to wear on grass and flat areas. Not so good in rocky or uneven ground conditions. Feet get tired and sore while walking. Not what I'd call a hiking shoe.
Date published: 2019-12-09
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lee51 from Quality and comfort. I thought this shoe would fit a little tight in the sides as I usually where a wide width, but after walking around the house for a few minutes they started to feel very comfortable. I like the style and the quality and would recommend these shoes to anybody looking for a good comfortable shoe.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sam93 from Great Trail Runner The mountain masochist does not disappoint. The fit and comfort of the shoe is immediate and requires very little breaking in before hitting the trail. The only draw back is the lacing mechanism, it was a little difficult to get snug but once they were set there was very little loosening of the desired fit.

Rated 1 out of 5 by sandiegobigfoot from Wanted to love these shoes I was excited to find this shoe in my size, 15. Some reports have them running large, in my case, that means ample toe box room which I want in a trail shoe. Love the lacing system, as I have narrow heels, so a large toe box and tight heel lacing is exactly what I need. I tried on a pair in a store but in size 14 and they fit well, but I had to order my size, 15, online. I was super excited when they arrived, to find out, at least in the 15 size, the instep support is a weird geometry and hits me towards the heel instead of the sweet spot on the instep. I believe the geometry of the shoe is off, at least in the size 15 as I have never, ever had a shoe fit like this before. It's not like I can keep trying different shoes, expecting this one pair was a manufacturing defect. A friend of mine has a size 9 or so and loves them and finds the fit perfect, but he has the luxury of trying half sizes, where I don't. I would still recommend these shoes based on all the other features they have. I can't comment on the function or the cushioning in the rating list since I never got the chance to run them outside. I can't recommend this shoe based on my personal experience, but if this shoes comes out with another update, I will still give it a try.

Rated 1 out of 5 by ChrisFromMaine from Way too narrow, poor laces This shoe is the correct length, but I could barely squeeze my feet into them and they are painful when they are on. I do not have wide feet - none of my other shoes are "wide" size, always regular. These are shaped terribly, particularly through the mid-foot, although there is plenty of room for toes. The "lace system" doesn't work because of the material used. It's a slick nylon chord that doesn't hold it's position, so it's either completely loose so the toggle sticks straight up and looks dumb, or it's pulled as tight as possible just to hold the shape. Weird, bad shoe.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pittman from Will be perfect Awaiting a smaller size. Always wear a size 9 in Columbia shoes. However just by taking them out of the box I could tell they were a bit larger than my Columbia hiking shoes. The toe box was significantly larger. My toes swam in these shoes even after tightening them really good.
Date published: 2019-02-21
Rated 2 out of 5 by JBH7 from Masochist is an apt name Despite my relatively flat feet, these shoes were quite tight across the instep. Further, the cushioning was firm, but not at all forgiving. This was not a shoe that I would want to wear any distance, even without 5he fit issue. They were returned.

Masochist is the only shoe I can wear that is heel friendly and gives my toes enough room. I'm got a long trip planned this summer and the Masochist is my go-to shoe. Customer service has always been outstanding at Columbia, I'm glad Montrail found a home there.

Rated 1 out of 5 by efxm23 from Not good at all I am a big fan of Columbia but these shoes are awful. I got them for a lot less than full price and still feel I paid too much. They are not waterproof and cushioning is not fantastic. Do not recommend at all

Rated 3 out of 5 by mike1234567987654321 from Speed Lacing system interferes with fit The speed laces are short and do not allow the shoe to be opened up to...get your foot in. I have a high instep and am trying to use a shoe horn. conventional laces would have been much better...the eyelets are too small to allow ordinary laces to be fitted. won;t buy these again these shoes seem to run smaller than expected compared to other columbias I have had. I think standard of sizing and overall quality has declined the past 5 years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GLupNordt from I'll keep buying them! I ran my last Spartan Trifecta, including every step of my training (and every bleeping burpee), in my Columbia Montrail Mountain Masochist shoes. Could not have been happier with the grip, comfort, and amazing durability. I've used this new pair for a couple workouts, and it appears to me that Columbia has not skimped on these shoes. I'll keep buying them, as long as the high standards are maintained. I've tried (and liked) other brands -- Saucony, Inov8, Vasque, etc. -- and for my money, Columbia has them all beat. The biggest difference is the durability. These things are REALLY hard to kill. Believe me, I've tried. I'm not a stockholder and have no financial interest at stake. Just a guy who needs solid footwear.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Bisho from Very tight The look of this shoes is amazing with strong made, but doesn't fit my feet, as its so tight in the front side and there is like strong chip inside part of the shoelaces. If they just keep the chip smooth this will be a great shoes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Millsy from Good shoe Already have black out dry model. Love both. Slightly wide in the toe box but that is good for my type of feet. All grip, no slip. They look stylish too. No complaints, buy this shoe.

Rated 3 out of 5 by DrBobSie from Runs Big If I had tried on these MM IV before I threw the box away, which is something I haven't had to do in the ten years or so of wearing Mountain Masochist shoes, I would have sent them back. But, alas, I own two pair and I will take the Lord's name in vain every morning for six months as I walk in shoes that are too big. I think the shoe itself is OK, but the sizing is the overwhelming concern.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DGL54 from Really great shoe Ran in the Masochist for years. I did not like what Columbia initially did with the shoe after they bought Montrail, so stopped running in the Masochist. I decided to give this iteration a try and I'm very happy with this shoe. The fit is great and I love the wide toebox, so necessary in multi-hour trail runs when your foot expands. The quick lacing system works well and doesn't loosen. It makes getting in and out of the shoe a breeze. The upper is designed to limit snags and is breathable. The missile has the same full length protection plate and lugged sole of past Masochists. With the low to the ground profile, great toebox flex and medial stability, Columbia has really done a fantastic job with this shoe. And ,no, I don't work for them! But,I will be making this my goto trial shoe. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

Hi everyone,
Just a little update and a prayer request below.
I'm doing so great. It's been 3 months since my surgery, and I can't help but reflect on where I've been. Thinking back on my life with liver disease, waiting for the transplant, the surgery, the pain and horror, the blessings and overcoming… I'm still taking it all in. Every time I see the huge scar on my abdomen, I want to complain and wish it gone, but then I remember it's a symbol of where I've been and the story I have to share with the world. This story, this journey, is not just about the 12" of scar I have going in 3 directions – it's entwined into every part of my being.
Yes, of course there have been setbacks, but I'm used to them. Not too much phases me anymore. I'm grateful for this new peace I have. Whatever comes, comes. I think I finally understand the resilience you see in people who face huge trials. Once you've been through so much, you are accustomed to fighting, struggling, and don't fear the future. You're so thankful for the calm times but aren't worried about the storms. After all, if you've already been through the worst, how bad could the future be?
This week, one of the surgeons officially cleared me to resume nursing school in January, so barring any complications with the College of Nursing, I'm good to go. I'm so excited to dive back into what I love so much, with more compassion than ever. I have some fears like "What if I forgot it all?" "What if I haven't recovered enough?" but my heart knows it'll be just fine.
Wednesday is a big day for me. It's time for my 3-month-scan to make sure the tumor hasn't returned. If you remember, I was diagnosed with Primary sclerosing cholangitis (liver disease) at age 5, and I was transplanted because it turned into a tumor in May of this year. Chemoembolization eradicated the tumor. While the pathology reports on my old liver and lymph nodes showed there were no signs of cancer, as a precaution, I have to have scans and special labs done every 3 months for the next 5 years just to make sure it hasn't come back. From what I understand, it's just a contrast MRI (which I'm used to) as well as testing for "tumor markers" in my blood. I really don't know that much about it, but of course, I'm eager to learn. I'm honestly a little scared about it simply because I don't want to go through all of this again. Please join me in praying the tumor is gone for good and that I continue to recover quickly.
I love you all, and please remember to take time to be grateful for life during this busy, stressful season.

This video captures part of a purchase of tinned fish at the Baptist mission trade store in Tekin in 1978. The customers are making successive requests and payments of the fish.
A scene from the mission trade store in 1978.
Display of Oksapmin body-counting system from thumb (1) around upper periphery of body to pinky (27) and then looping to wrist (28).
Man in 1978 displaying the ending of a count showing fu gon a! (with fist), a completion of all of the body parts.
A traditional man displaying body part positions in the Oksapmin 27-body part counting system
A boy hunting with bow and arrow (1978).
A child's display of Oksapmin's 27-body part counting system.
You have 16 pigs; you give seven away; how many left? The 4th grader begins his solution of the problem with the ear-on-the-other-side (16). He indicates that this (ear (16) is given away, and corresponds to the thumb (1); the eye on the other side (15) is given away, and that corresponds to the index finger (2); the nose (14) is given away, and that's the middle finger (3)... the child proceeds to the shoulder (10) is given away and that's the forearm (7), leaving biceps (9), the answer. In the Cultural Development of Mathematical Ideas, this approach is refered to as a "double enumeration" strategy. Children are not taught the approach; it's an approach that emerged as Oksapmin children made efforts to make sense of the mathematics taught in school in the post-colonial approach to schooling. (1980)
The teacher presents the class with an arithmetic problem. Note that some children begin to solve the problem using the body counting system. During this era, teachers were not from the Oksapmin area and knew little about indigenous knowledge systems of the community. (1980)
This film was taken in 1980. The man interviewed is a trade store owner who has developed new ways of using the body part counting system to solve arithmetic problems. He is presented with the problem that he has one kina and sixty toea and spends seventy toea. In the video, he represents one kina sixty toea as 16, distributing the value as shoulder (10) and wrist (6). Then from the side for which he has registered shoulder (10), he indicates that he spends the equivalent of seven or forearm (7). To solve the problem, he the "moves" the remaining body parts from the shoulder side to the side registering wrist. First he moves the elbow (8) to the forearm (7); then the biceps (9) to the elbow (8) ; he finally moves the shoulder (10) to the biceps (9). Biceps (9) then is the solution of the problem. In the Cultural Development of Mathematical Ideas, this approach is refered to as a "halved body" strategy. The man was not taught the approach; it's an approach that emerged as Oksapmin people engaged in novel practices of economic exchange with currency. (1980)
One morning in 2001, children arrived at the elementary school classroom, but their teachers were away. As a group, they were eager to display for me the Oksapmin 27-body part counting system.
The man is presented with eleven kina as shown on the left. He examines the currency and states their value as hanen fu hama doba temsi tana. The more or less literal meaning of the expression is conversational number word 5 (hanen) double (fu) and on the wrist (6) (doba (6th body part) put the flat with hole (temsi tana, the expression for the one kina coin or the value of one kina).
The video shows an elder counting six stones using the body counting system. The count proceeds tipana (thumb (1)), tipnarip (index finger (2)), bumrip (middle finger (3)), hadrip (ring finger (4)), hathatah (pinky (5)), dopa (wrist (6)). The suffix -hai indicates a cardinal value, hence the answer, dop-hai (wrist (6)-CARDINAL).
This man is finishing his count of 29 stones using body part names. When he finishes, he states the cardinal value, tit fu gona it was besa tit si. One loose translation of the expression is, the completion of all 27 body parts of the count (tit fu gona) and then counting back around to the forearm.
The video shows an elder counting eleven stones using the Oksapmin body counting system. The count proceeds tipana (thumb (1)), tipnarip (index finger (2)), bumrip (middle finger (3)), hadrip (ring finger (4)), hathatah (pinky (5)), dopa (wrist (6)), besa (forearm (7)), kir (elbow (8)), towat (biceps (8)), kata (shoulder (10)), gwer (neck (11)). In the video, the man points to his neck (off camera) to indicate the total.
Men who are paying Oksapmin people for their vegetables (that have been exported to the Ok Tedi mine in Tabubil).
The man refers to the five-kina note as "faiv kina." The expression is borrowed from Tok Pisin. There are other Oksapmin expressions for the faiv kina note, but there is great variability in the community in its Oksapmin name. In the interview, the man reflects on an Oksapmin expression for the note, but doesn't provide one.
The man calls the twenty-kina note "kat-hai fu." The expression translates as "shoulder" ("kata" is the 10th body part in the Oksapmin counting system) and "double" or "two kina notes" ("fu").
The man identifies the two-kina note as "wan faun tana." Part of the expression is borrowed from Tok Pisin. "Faun" in Tok Pisin refers to the now-obsolete Australian pound, and "wan" is the Tok Pisin equivalent "one." "Tana" is the Oksapmin word for a flat object. "Faun" is an expression used generally in the Oksapmin community to refer to a two-kina note.
The man is presented with one kina and ten toea in the form of two 50 toea coins and one ten toea coin. Because of a prior history detailed in the book, the value of 10t is treated as a unit. The man represents the value as gwer or neck (11th position) in the Oksapmin body part counting system, the equivalent of eleven 10 toea coins.
The video shows an elder responding to a question about the name for the 50-toea coin in the Oksapmin language. He responds "gangasi" (literally "cornered" but used conventionally for the 50-toea coin) OR hanen gona (the conversational number word, "five"). Note: The 50-toea coin is the only token with corners.
This woman is displaying the Oksapmin 27-body part counting system (see figure at left). In the video, you will see her enumerate body part names beginning with the thumb on one hand (1) proceeding up to the nose (14) and down to the little finger on the other side of her body (27). At the end of the count, as has been standard practice, she exclaims a fists raised "tit fu!", indicating that she's completed all of the body parts of the system.* Similar 27-body part systems have been used traditionally throughout the larger Mountain-Ok region of central New Guinea (see map below). Note the direction of the count is arbitrary and meaning is linked to the act -- the woman is using a right-to-left trajectory whereas the upper left schematic shows the opposite direction. Traditionally, if people need to count beyond the 27th body part, they loop back to tan dopa (28), or the wrist on the other side (28th position).
Traditional uses of the system did not involve arithmetical functions. With the introduction of currency and people's engagement with economic exchanges with currency in tradestores, some Oksapmin people elaborated arithmetical functions for the system. To observe a tradestore owner using the body system to accomplish an arithmetical problem, go to the following link: Oksapmin tradestore owner solving 16-7=?
Schooling was another context in which Oksapmin elaborated arithmetical functions for the system. To observe a fourth grader constructing an arithmetical function for the body system, go to the following link: fourth grader solving 16-7=?
*Although the woman labels every body part with its appropriate body part name, she inadvertantly skips one body part in the system - tan kata (18). Tan kata (18) means shoulder-on-the-other-side (or the 18th position)).
This Oksapmin man (2001) was shown twenty-one kina worth of Papua New Guinea currency and is representing that amount in the Oksapmin language. He indicates his shoulder (10) or kat(-hai) (pointing to shoulder) doubles that value with reference fu and then indicates that he places one kina coin temsi tana (flat with hole) at his neck (11), for a total of twenty-one kina.

Planning the Perfect Party:
The essence of any successful event is really just a simple matter of spending some attention on a few key details. But when properly combined, the perfect setting is created for people to unwind, mingle, & fully enjoy the company of those they engage & the event as a whole.
Of course The Private Pro's will do everything in our power to assure your function is an absolute success. But as a value-added bonus we would like to offer our essential guide to planning the perfect party - a useful resource full of helpful tips & proven insights that will come in handy as you plan your next affair. Key points have been highlighted for quick reference & more easy reading. It's a must have to ensure a smooth event & an enjoyable evening for all!
Section Headings:
2. Ambiance: Set-up, Functionality, Lighting, Decor, & Music.
3. The Bar: Set-up, Stocking the Bar, Liquor, Beer, & Wine.
4. Food Service: the Buffet, Pot-luck, a Formal Sit-down, & Safety Issues.
5. Party Supplies & Stocking Up.
6. Some Key Tips & Considerations.
7. Scheduling Your Preparations.
8. Considerations for an Outdoor vs. an Indoor Party.
9. Considerations for an Office Party vs. a Private Party.
10. Special Considerations - Sending Invitations.
11. Special Considerations - Games & Activities.
12. The Private Professionals & How to Best Use Our Service.
Sample Excepts:
General Set-up: Fun flair or a touch of elegance will be a key to creating a sense of ambiance, but overall functionality should not be sacrificed. This means that the buffet should be placed with relative access to the main kitchen. Hot platters moving through a crowded room to reach a buffet is a very bad idea. For a sit down dinner, servers need room to maneuver. Trash cans are also important. Receptacles should be available in both the bar area, near the buffet, as well as in prime common areas where people will gather.
The Bar:
It's important that the bar is set in an area with easy access & preferably convenient to the main areas of congregation (people shouldn't have to break off from the main event every time they want a drink). It's also important that the buffet is at least somewhat separated from the bar area. And finally, the bar should not be put in the Kitchen! Early in the party the kitchen will serve as a war room for food service. Setting up bar service in the midst of such preparations is a really bad idea. Also, for whatever reason, the party does seem to always end up in the kitchen, & having people mull about can make functional service almost impossible. The only exception to this is if the kitchen has an island or can be set with a dedicated area to be partitioned off.
As to general service, our bartenders are self contained as far as basic equipment: shaker tins, strainers, etc. But there are a few things that the bar itself will need from the host…
First, BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE PLENTY OF ICE!!! It's a cliché for a reason - you can never have too much ice. First, have enough to ice down the beer, wine, & any bottled water (plan on 2 bags per cooler). You can then estimate about 1 lb. of ice per guest (i.e. for 50 guests, estimate 50 lbs. plus whatever will be needed to ice down beer & wine). This may sound like a lot, but in truth it's a good idea to grab an extra couple of bags just in case. Depending on the drinks served & time of year, you'd be amazed how fast it goes (& lets face it, ice is cheap). When you run out of bullets, the war is over!
If you'll be having margaritas then have some coarse salt available, & for lemon drops or other shooters some standard sugar is good to have as well. A small bottle of Grenadine is also a plus.
Have plenty of Limes & a few Lemons. Estimating a party of 50, have at least 8-10 limes ready to be cut & about 3-4 lemons. And if you cut the limes yourself, please do so length-wise into wedges & not across the equator into wheels (this makes it easier to squeeze).
Green Olives & Cherries are important as well. One jar of each is enough.
Stocking the Bar: As a rough estimate, you can count on around 2-4 drinks per person. Some will drink wine, some are geared more toward a martini or drink, & others will stick with beer. You need to know your crowd & have an idea as to their preference. However, keep in mind that their habits will generally be different at a private party & often they will tend to drink better. Often, a group will get turned on by a bartender's specialty drink & before long it will be pouring all night long.
For a full listing of suggestions, please consult the Party Planner...
An Alternative to the Full Bar - Beer & Wine w/ a Martini Bar Only: One possible alternative to the Fully Stocked Bar or to serving only Beer & Wine is to have Beer & Wine w/ the addition of a Specialty Bar. In this type of set-up you'd want to provide probably 2-3 selections of beer & a selection of wines that are conducive to your crowd. Then you'd augment this with a basic stock to make Martinis &/or specialty drinks.
|For this you'd need a good grade of Vodka (perhaps Stoli or Absolute), a bottle of Triple sec (for Cosmo's, etc.), & a 375ml bottle of dry vermouth. Then you'll need 1 bottle of sweet & sour mix / sours, cranberry juice, limes, & a couple of lemons. Add in a bottle or two of Looza Mango or Tropical Fruit Juice, & a bottle of Pomegranate Juice. That's it! You'll have a fully functional bar in addition to beer & wine, & this will serve as a perfect augmentation to provide some nice alternative that won't bust your budget!
From this we'll be able to do Martinis, Dirty Martinis, Cosmopolitans, Lemon Drops, Mango, & Pomegranate Martinis (plus beer & wine). If you'd like to add margaritas then just get some tequila & an extra bottle of triple sec. It's also best to get some real cut mango & frozen strawberries in syrup if we're blending drinks. This will give you a full range of added diversity. If you further want to include something like Mojitos, then just add in a good grade of Rum, Mint, & Simple Syrup (reduced sugar water).
Food Service:
The Buffet: A general buffet can be used for food service throughout the evening or used more simply to offer hors d'oeuvres during an initial reception. Feel free to place it in any area that will allow a good flow of traffic, that is generally available to the kitchen, & which will be easily accessed by your guests. Accents such an appropriate center-piece & candles can be a nice touch to provide both warmth & a sense of class.
Overall, it's a nice element to include a cheese & fruit platter as well as a balanced variety of hot & cold foods as you see fit. Just be sure to allow for hot foods to stay hot & cold foods to stay fresh. For the sake of appearance, desserts are best placed to a separate table (so that after main service the dessert table will still look fresh). This configuration also allows for a coffee bar. An alternative is to wait until after dinner & either reset the buffet or place dessert trays around the party on coffee tables, etc.
Party Supplies & Stocking Up:
The following are only general estimates of the supplies you'll need. Don't let yourself get caught short!
Beverage Napkins - 4 per guest for a cocktail party / 2 per guest for a dinner party.
Place settings - 1 full setting per guest for seated dinner / 2 per guest for buffet or cocktails.
Cups (plastic) - 4 per guest. Use the clear plastic glasses for an indoor party (they look better) & the colored cups for an outdoor party (they're easier to find if tossed about). Also, the shorter 'V' type clear plastic cups work very well for wine & martinis. For cocktails, stick with a standard 6-8 oz cup size. However, if you expect to be serving a fair bit of plain soda then also have some 12 oz. cups on hand.
If you're using actual glassware, be sure you have plenty to go around & that the bar area has ready access to dish washing capabilities. Also make sure your guests know that it might be a good idea to hang on their glasses for refills (unless you're really well stocked), It's a good idea to also have an extra sleeve of clear plastic cups in case there is some lag-time for the dishes. Coffee Cups - count on at least 1 per guest.
Some Key Tips & Considerations:
Reduce the Possibility for Trauma: Remove any valued breakables from the main party area & clear away any elements that may pose a hazard (tools, sharp objects, etc.). Be sure all walkways are free of ice or anything that may cause one to slip, trip, or fall & during the party be sure to inform your service assistant of any spills. Also, it's best if pets are removed to a safe room (the master bedroom is best option - it keeps the pets in & the guests out) - this will make your guests more comfortable & it's actually less stressful for the pets themselves.
Dealing with Kids: Ultimately, any children will be the responsibility of their parents. But if you expect a number of youngsters then be sure to kid-proof as much as possible. It's actually a great idea to get a baby sitter & have a separate area dedicated to the kids. AND PLEASE, keep them out of the kitchen! Hot & sharp objects will be all around & people will be moving fast with hot dishes of food. Most don't look down when carrying a platter & this can cause bad things to happen.
Designated Drivers: Be sure to have non-alcoholic alternatives & available food for any designated drivers. It's also a good idea to generally know who at the party will be driving home. Forewarned, you can get with a guest who has had a few cocktails & be sure that he or she gets something to eat, provide them with coffee, & if needed put them in a cab or even offer a ride home.
Parking: If parking is an issue then it might be worth it to run a car service to a parking lot at a nearby church or similar facility. Just provide such information in your initial invitation.
The Details! Be sure you have plenty of stuff like toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, etc. If it's a cookout, be sure you have an extra tank or two of propane. It's also a good idea to be sure you have items such as Tylenol, Band-aids, Midol, & Immodium AD. You never know what your last minute needs might be.

Experience West Country flavours and celebrate the humble apple with Bristol's fantastic cider scene.
Apple day traditionally falls on October 21st and is all about celebrating all things apple-tastic. Bristol's love affair with apples is so strong, both in their solid and fermented liquid form, that locals have fashioned festivals and even championships to rejoice in this humble fruit.
With apples at their best during autumn, October is the perfect month to visit Bristol for some serious cider tasting. Delve into Bristol Cider Shop for a bottle from a nearby farm, regular sampling, a cider hamper and expert advice on all things Scrumpy. Tickle your cider-loving taste buds further and head for The Apple, bobbing up and down on Bristol Harbourside - the converted barge has over 40 varieties of cider. Sober up – if only momentarily - with a West Country Porker pizza at The Stable accompanied by a cider tasting board, with five ciders served in thirds.
End the day with live music at Coronation Tap in Clifton Village but watch out for its infamous Exhibition cider. Cheers!

Stream And Download Joy Joy Mp4 Video by Black Motion and Brenden Praise
Joy Joy mp4 was released about 24 hours ago by South African singers, Black Motion and Brenden Praise. The two debut singers combine their talent to quench the thirst for new video form their fans. The singer are another trending artistes within the boarders of South Africa. They have successfully released some songs to their credit independently, and them coming together to release a song in 2018 was so good that we wanted more……. the official music video.
Black Motion gave it to us as we all wanted, after a few months of the song's release, the entertainer has turned up with the official music video off his long awaited track named Joy Joy, a new song which was a hit after it was dropped in the year 2018. The new song was assisted by a fellow singer Brenden Praise, both dropped some magical sensation on the video that we want again, more collaboration from them any time possible.
Joy Joy as a song came in the previous year as a great hit single, and it was lifted from the rappers' currently top rated album, Moya Wa Taola. The new video starts with some piano and flute instrumental, with the visual coming in a an old school and well recorded in a nice black and white video. As we know, the singer first started the song, sining how his lady makes him happy, the way he makes him fill like he is paradise…… Joy Joy.
