Location data and analytics are helping businesses grow in a number of ways, from forecasting the ROI of new opportunities to helping marketers better understand their customers. With location insights, business owners are able to create strategic marketing plans and maximize their ad spend with confidence and ease.
No longer do companies need large GIS (geographic information systems) teams to tap into the value of location intelligence, as innovations in data aggregation and analysis have democratized much of what previously required a specialized data science team.
Savvy business owners are positioning themselves to be ahead of the mark by utilizing location data to create a competitive advantage for themselves and make better business decisions with fewer risks.
Having the ability to reduce costs, improve customer experiences, and enhance community engagement with location intelligence is a huge advantage for brick-and-mortar businesses that have been threatened by the boost in online sales.
Changes in technology over the recent years have pushed location intelligence into mainstream enterprise technology landscape. This has led to spatial mapping and software landing in the hands of, and becoming more user-friendly to, everyday users.
With these benefits in mind, here's a list of five ways to grow your business with the help of location intelligence.
1. Understand the nearby audience
Location intelligence gives us a great deal of insight when it comes to the potential that is in our backyards. Sophisticated data now allows us to target potential consumers that walk by a business. We can understand things such as where they were recently and the direction that they are headed once they leave the targeted area. We are also aware of the habits and behaviors of certain clusters of people within a certain radius, as well as their likes, dislikes and pain points. Embracing location intelligence empowers decision makers as it gives them a glimpse into the market that they could potentially tap into long before appropriating any marketing spend.
2. Target your local competitor's customers
While tapping into the behaviors and spending habits of those within a certain radius is beneficial, things get even better when owners are able to capture data regarding the consumers that are frequenting the storefronts of their competitors. While others are having to guess who they are targeting and how to go about doing so, those that utilize location intelligence have a vantage point that allows them to get ahead of their competition. They understand that relying on proximity alone isn't the wisest solution. Location intelligence allows us to factor in accessibility, behavior patterns and the bigger picture as it relates to a consumer's overall journey and objective.
More specifically, competitor targeting aggregates data points to plot out a competitor's most probable consumers based on spatial, demographic, and behavioral analysis. These insights equip us with tools that allow us to make more informed and actionable decisions.
3. Leverage location performance to manage inventory and offset seasonality
Emerging technologies have enabled decision-makers to access location data that was not previously accessible. Growing more and more robust, location professionals are sure that databases will continue to grow, allowing for even higher levels of understanding. We've currently reached a point where we realize that not only can we see and understand what consumers and potential consumers are gravitating to, we can understand their needs and desires as they relate to season and timing. Location data leads to being able to forecast traffic, allowing business owners to more accurately buy and manage inventory before it's too late. This helps to eliminate the chance of huge surplus of overstock at the end of each season, while also ensuring that consumers get exactly what they desire when they desire it.
4. Capture consumers outside of the standard target area
Marketers that are familiar with more sophisticated location intelligence have had access to information regarding their user's likes, spending habits and behaviors, allowing them to focus on personalization and retargeting. Location intelligence makes it possible to target consumers differently by implementing spatial-behavior targeting that allows us to find clusters of ideal consumers that are outside of the standard geo radius.
Location experts have discovered that consumers are more than willing to travel further to engage in a shopping experience that offers them exactly what they want and/or need in a personalized way. Business owners that capture audiences outside of their normal hyperlocal radius are way ahead of the game when it comes to effective marketing.
5. Eliminate ad waste
Targeted advertising is the best solution for business owners that were previously basing their ad spend on proximity, rather than using location intelligence to pinpoint audiences that were more likely to convert to loyal consumers. Spatial intelligence gives us the ability to be hyper-focused on individuals, their behaviors, likes and dislikes. Previously, marketers did not have the ability to differentiate one target from another.
Accounting for how consumers engage with location enables business owners to think beyond their location and the surrounding area, while allowing them to focus on where consumers actually spend their time. Recent advancements in the use of location intelligence result in more leads and higher conversion rates, making the use of location intelligence a no-brainer.
Growing with location intelligence
There has never been a better time to learn about and invest in location intelligence. This important resource provides a competitive advantage by adding location context, enabling businesses to understand more about their consumers. It provides informational insight that makes it possible to make the best decisions regarding site selection forecasts, location development, risk assessment, catering to consumer's specific needs.
More and more people are carrying location-aware mobile devices every day. Countless database vendors, BI tools and business applications have begun building support for storing and analyzing spatial data into their products. As a result, business users are becoming accustomed to these capabilities. More uses for location data are being discovered and executed daily. Forward-thinking businesses with solid plans for growth realize the importance of adding and utilizing location technology to their BI and analytics landscape.
In other words, location intelligence is all around us and may very well soon prove the next competitive battleground for businesses everywhere.

Are Form-Based Design Standards Easier Than Form-Based Codes?
Communities with limited resources may find it difficult to create Form-Based Codes (FBC). In updating his book, Rural by Design, Randall Arendt looked at alternatives to FBC that are working for small cities and towns across the country.1
- 1. Source: Planetizen
Although several Maine towns have adopted form based coding (FBCs), communities with limited resources and little or no professional staff can achieve very similar results through a simpler set of form-based design standards, (FBDS) as listed below. In Freeport, design regulations (in Chapters 21 and 22 of its zoning) apply in two central districts, one primarily commercial, the other primarily residential. When zoning or design review standards are being developed, neighborhood meetings are held to learn about neighborhood concerns.
Key elements of Form-based Design Standards include:
- Maximum Front Setback, with allowances for alcoves.
- Minimum Building Height, with requirements for functional upper floors and height proportional to street width.
- Primary door entrances along the street side opening onto sidewalks (or opening to a street corner)
- Minimum glazing requirements along the street side for commercial buildings
- Reduce on-lot parking requirements
- Parking to the rear or side. Screen side parking from streets by walls, fences, or landscaping about 42 inches high.
- Minimum street frontage built-up to minimize gaps between buildings
- Maximum block length
- Broader use-mix within buildings and blocks
- Shade tree planting along streets and in parking lots
- Greater mix of different residential building types. Permit single-family, two-family, or three-family homes on any lot in most residential districts

A left thigh injury has put Sami Khedira on the sidelines for three weeks, ruling him out of Real Madrid CF's round of 16 second leg against Olympique Lyonnais on 16 March.
Sami Khedira will miss Real Madrid CF's UEFA Champions League round of 16 decider against Olympique Lyonnais after suffering a left thigh injury in Tuesday's first leg.
The German international, 23, was replaced by Lassana Diarra in the 68th minute at the Stade de Gerland and tests have revealed that the defensive midfielder will be out of action for three weeks. Khedira moved to Madrid from VfB Stuttgart in the summer and has made 32 appearances in all competitions for the Merengues this season. Madrid will host Lyon at the Santiago Bernabéu on 16 March, having been pegged back by Bafétimbi Gomis's late goal in a 1-1 draw in France.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was on Tuesday felicitated by farmers from Puntamba village in Ahmednagar district of the state for the decision of waiving off Rs 34,000 crore worth of farm loans. Puntamba was also the epicentre of farmers' agitation, which eventually spread to different parts of the state.
The farmers expressed their gratitude to the chief minister for the decision, which is likely to impact at least 89 lakh farmers in the state. CM Fadnavis also assured them that his government wanted to make the farmers self-reliant.
The farm loan waiver announcement was made on Saturday and the decision was also ratified by the Cabinet. "Those farmers who have paid back their loans regularly, we will give 25 per cent loan return benefit to them. We are aware of the burden that will fall on all cabinet ministers, they will cut our expenses. All ministers and MLAs will give one month salary to support loan waiver," Fadnavis had said.
However, the steering committee of farmer leaders on Sunday had reportedly rejected the move demanding there should be no upper limit for the loan waiver. The committee, led by Dr Ajit Navale, met at the Communist Party of India (M) office in Mumbai and demanded the entire outstanding loan be waived off.
"The scheme has upper limit of Rs 1.5 lakh. So if a farmer has an outstanding loan above it, he would not benefit from it. It is not in line with our demand of blanket loan waiver. A meeting will take place in Nashik on July 9, where the waiver scheme and its details will be discussed. The steering committee will then kick-start a Sangharsh Yatra (protest campaign) against the government which will conclude on July 23," Dave was quoted as saying by PTI.
Farmer protests had rocked the states of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh over the demands of loan waiver. Earlier, the Uttar Pradesh government led by Yogi Adityanath had accepted the decision to waive off farmer loans in the state in its first Cabinet meeting after the new government bame to power.

HSAs and Medicare
A while back, I was asked about the rules on contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA) and how they relate to Medicare. The general rule is that an individual cannot contribute to an HSA if he or she is enrolled in Medicare. The question came up about people who are eligible for Medicare but have opted out of both Part A and Part B. After some research, I found that the IRS at one point answered this question in IRS Notice 2004-50, in Internal Revenue Bulletin 2004-33. The IRS stated that an individual otherwise eligible to contribute to an HSA who is eligible for Medicare, but not enrolled in Part A or Part B may contribute to the HSA. See http://www.irs.gov/irb/2004-33_IRB/ar08.html for the entire Notice. However, once an individual attains age 65, applies for, and begins receiving Social Security benefits, they are automatically enrolled in Medicare. A federal appellate court in 2011 ruled in Hall v. Sebelius that individuals receiving Social Security benefits cannot opt out of Medicare Part A. This means individuals have to make a decision: receive Social Security benefits or remain eligible to contribute to an HSA. For now, under the law, you can't do both.
For the full decision in Hall v. Sebelius, see http://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/890596479218E0818525799D00548389/$file/11-5076-1356903.pdf

Republication from Heritage Daily
An international team led by researchers at Uppsala University reports a surprising discovery from the genomes of eight Iberian Stone-Age farmer remains.
The analyses revealed that early Iberian farmers are the closest ancestors to modern-day Basques, in contrast previous hypotheses that linked Basques to earlier pre-farming groups.The team could also demonstrate that farming was brought to Iberia by the same/similar groups that migrated to northern and central Europe and that the incoming farmers admixed with local, Iberian hunter-gather groups, a process that continued for at least 2 millennia.
The study is published today, ahead of print, in the leading scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA, PNAS.
Most of the previous studies about the transition from small and mobile hunter-gatherer groups to larger and sedentary farming populations have focused on central and northern Europe, however much less in known about how this major event unfolded in Iberia. This time, the research team investigated eight individuals associated with archaeological remains from farming cultures in the El Portalón cave from the well-known Anthropological site Atapuerca in northern Spain.
"The El Portalon cave is a fantastic site with amazing preservation of artefact material," says Dr. Cristina Valdiosera of Uppsala University and La Trobe University, one of the lead authors.
"Every year we find human and animal bones and artifacts, including stone tools, ceramics, bone artefacts and metal objects, it is like a detailed book of the last 10,000 years, providing a wonderful understanding of this period. The preservation of organic remains is great and this has enabled us to study the genetic material complementing the archaeology," Dr. Cristina Valdiosera continues.
From these individuals who lived 3,500-5,500 years ago, the authors generated the first genome-wide sequence data from Iberian ancient farmers and observed that these share a similar story to those of central and northern Europe. That is, they originate from a southern wave of expansion, and also admixed with local hunter-gatherer populations and spread agricultural practices through population expansions. The authors noticed that although they share these similarities with other European farmers, this early Iberian population has its own particularities.
"We show that the hunter-gatherer genetic component increases with time during several millennia, which means that later farmers were genetically more similar to hunter-gatherers than their forefathers who brought farming to Europe," says Dr. Torsten Günther of Uppsala University and one of the lead authors.

College of St. Joseph's men's basketball team fell to Fisher College 110-90 on Wednesday, Nov. 28. Charles Isaac Jr. scored 42 points for the Fighting Saints.
The Falcons got on the scoreboard first with an early layup by Brandon Rembert. Isaac matched with a layup of his own before the Falcons scored four straight points to retake the lead. CSJ kept the game close over the first seven minutes of play with baskets by DQ Abernathy, Adley Eliacin, William Leino and Joseph Ruby. An Isaac layup assisted by Eliacin tied the game at 16 with 13:05 on the clock.
Fisher's Kyle Snowden connected on a 3-pointer on the Falcons' next possession. CSJ had a turnover and missed shot on their next two possessions, while Mena Yacoub and Giovanni Thompson extended the Falcons' lead to 23-16.
Isaac scored the Fighting Saints' next three points off a jumper and 1-for-2 trip to the foul line, while Snowden had a layup for Fisher, which was sandwiched by two Yacoub 3-pointers. With the game at 31-19, Mickalous Snowden drained a 3-pointer for CSJ with 10 minutes to play in the half to bring CSJ within nine points of the Falcons. He was fouled on the made three and converted the free throw for a four-point play.
Ville Milan put the Fisher lead back at 10 points, 33-23, on the next possession. It wasn't until Elician scored seven points in under two minutes that the Saints got back within nine points of Fisher - the score at 43-34 with 3:32 to play in the half. The two teams continued to battle it out, with Fisher slightly outscoring CSJ 8-6 before halftime. Rembert connected on a 3-pointer for the Falcons with eight seconds remaining.
Snowden hit a jumper to open the second-half scoring, but that would prove to be the last time the Fighting Saints came within 10 points of the hosting squad. Isaac accounted for 10 of the Saints' 16 made field goals in the second frame of play, and the final buzzer sounded with a 110-90 score.
Isaac had 31 points in the second half alone to attempt to keep his team in the game, but the Falcons were unstoppable - they shot 61 percent from the floor as a team. CSJ shot well at 42.3 percent throughout the game.
Fisher had six players score double figures, led by Rembert, who posted a stat line of 19 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. The Fighting Saints had three players reach double digit scoring.

Visit Dual Pro Eagle Series Chargers Web site
Visit Lester Electrical Website
Chargers are available for charging 36, 48, and 60 volt systems and are rated at charging amps of 25, 25, and 20 respectively. They require a standard 15 amp 110 volt outlet for input power. All chargers are designed to bring fully discharged batteries to full charge in 12 hours Actual charge time is proportional to the degree of discharge of the batteries. There are overseas Lester Chargers available in 220V, 50 Cycle models.
Chargers can be mounted on or off the boat. Plugging in either the AC or DC cord starts the automatic charger which cuts off automatically when batteries are fully charged. Chargers are normally stored in a suitable seat or compartment on the boat. Adequate ventilation must be provided when the charger is operating.
Here is what Lester has to say about their automatic charger which they guarantee for one year:
Eliminates over-and-under Charging
The patented electronic timer used in the Lestronic II is the only one of its kind. Its purpose is to measure the rate of change in voltage increase is reduced to a "known" level, that level represents the maximum amount of usable power the battery will accept. Any further charge would over-charge the battery, and damage the battery plates. The Lestronic II is designed to shut off at the proper charge, preserving battery life.
Higher Finish Charge Rates
Because the Lestronic II will not let batteries over-charge, we are also able to build in a higher finish charge rate. This enables the Lestronic II to fully charge your battery 20% faster than with manual-timer chargers with lower finish charge rates.
Prolongs Cell Life
Also, as batteries age, they will generally begin to fail one cell at a time. When this occurs, the finish charge rate must be cut back, because the weaker cells cannot accept a full charge. If the charge is not cut back, the strong cells will receive too much charge. This reduces the life of the good cells, and the useful life of the battery itself. The Lestronic II prohibits this overcharging, giving you longer battery life and more range per charge.
Charging Cycle is Fully Automatic
You can save valuable time with the Lestronic II, because there is no turn-on switch or timer to set. Once the unit is plugged in, the charge cycle automatically begins.

Same happened to me - got win, due to high loads -> update later. No update so far. Fix plz, shouldn't be that hard.
Same Issue
Victory with Legion Commander failed to register in all hero challenge after game completion during Dota 2 network troubles.
Same issue here with player Sambagy - "120404746"
Won match "987535064" for Zeus challenge and it was not counted.
Is the game lost for good or will this issue be corrected?
Note that match count is "2" in the hero challenge, which should be "3". So it does not see the match as win or lost. Is there a "refresh" command for the challenge to see my matches?
same problem
player Nukist
Match 987757480 and Match 989990122

It it matters... I got the rate teammate Box after the battle.. maybe it interefered with getting the notification that hero completed???
really annoying since its happened multiple times already...
Same problem again...
This is my second time...
First time, I stucked and wrote to Steam support:
Message by you on Fri, 26th Sep 2014 8:38
I have an issue with hero challenge advancing.
I won game playing Tusk, but nothing happened.
I thought that there is something wrong with presentation (I already had similar problem). In fact, I won game but nothing happened in that case. I had to restart Steam client and after that, everything was OK. I had advanced to next hero.
This time, this didn't do the trick. I have tried to restart computer, but that didn't work. And I have continued as Spectre because it was my next challenge. After another wining in that game, I realize that I can't go further. Something stucked!!!
Here you have screenshots-
So, I would like you to help me if you can, so I can continue my challenge.
Thanks in advance,
They replied to me 20 days after that and told me to write here: http://dev.dota2.com/
I decided to play agin with problematic hero and I succeded to move along.
But, I have the same problem again with phantom lancer:
As you can see, the game is won, but there is no progress in hero chalenge.
Is this going to be solved once for all, or is going to happen in future?

text: A while back I was blog-hopping and I came across a post for a cute craft. It was called a Family Rules canvas. I thought it was super cute and that it might be something I could actually do myself. It's been in the back of my mind and yesterday I decided I wanted to make my own. So I went online and put "Family Rules canvas" into the search and came up with a ton of sites where people have made their own. I knew for me simpler was better so I typed my rules on my computer, went out to Michael's today and bought all of the things I would need. Now, I know mine is not all fancy or crafty. It looks a little plain-Jane, but that is me. I wanted it to be blue and yellow and I wanted it to be hung in the playroom/TV room. I love how it turned out. If you want to make one of you own I suggest just googling "Family Rules Canvas" and looking at the different ideas and seeing how other people did theirs. It's super easy and did not take me very long (probably because I'm a little impatient and I always seem to rush a little) and it only cost $15 since I had to buy EVERYTHING and since I didn't have a Michael's coupon because I very rarely go there. But it was fun, it turned out way better than I expected and I think Dave will be very impressed with my craftiness. (I ended up buying a 12x16 canvas but you can do them as big as you want.)

James Biggs of the Diss Golf Club in nearby Suffolk won the 44th running of the' Lagonda Trophy' at the Gog Magog Golf Club near Cambridge with rounds of 71, 74, 68, 68 for a total of 281 just one over par and three under the Standard Scratch Score for the tournament total.
Biggs joins an illustrious group of past winners including Ryder Cup players David Gilford, Lee Westwood , Luke Donald and more recently Andy Sullivan. Westwood and Donald have gone on to achieve number One status in the World professional rankings.
At the end of the first day, Dan Brown from the Littlestone Club and James Cass of Fulford led the way each recording a three under par total of 137 when conditions can only be described as extreme with cold temperatures and a stiff northerly wind.
The severe conditions seemed to close the field up with George Goddard (West Hove) and Liam Phipps (Olton) the closest pursuers.
But day two with equally difficult conditions heralded the very strong challenge of James Biggs and John Hopkins who both shot sub-par rounds to make up lost ground. In fact Biggs with an eight shot deficit at the start of the third round shot two very impressive rounds of 68, totalling four under on the day. Hopkins was equally sound carding a three under total for the day. Together with Will Percival (Orsett) who was level for the day, these three players with an impressive display of ball striking started the day someway behind yet overtook a very strong field to take the first three places. Biggs led the way with Hopkins and Percival pressing all the way, right to the end.
Impressive golf indeed.
This was golf at its best with a string of stirring performances on a course in outstanding condition and beautifully presented.
Leading Final Scores :-
281 - James Biggs (Diss) 71 74 68 68
284 - Jon Hopkins (Bishop's Stortford) 75 72 69 68
Will Percival (Orsett) 75 69 71 69
Liam Phipps (Olton) 69 71 72 72

Ranging from very hard stones to soft minerals, stone can include slag, limestone, quartz, granite, iron ore, sandstone, copper ore, marble, cement and more. Since stone crushers can be used on such a wide range of materials, they can be utilized in a variety of applications in industries such as mining, for the crushing of mined and quarried stone; metallurgy, for the crushing of large stone into smaller stone that can be used in the process of working metal into parts and components; chemistry, to crush stone that can be used to process a variety of chemicals; construction, for the crushing of stone rubble that was previously used as building materials; and demolition, to crush debris left behind by the demolition of buildings, roadways, bridges, canals and various other structures.
There are a few different types of crushers that are used to crush stone, including jaw crushers, cone crushers, hammer crushers and impact crushers. Using compression, jaw crushers feature two "jaw-like" surfaces. Referred to as jaws, jaw crushers have a fixed jaw and a mobile jaw. The mobile jaw enables crushing by exerting force on the stone and forcing it against the fixed jaw.
Also using compression, cone crushers are conically-shaped and provide crushing by squeezing the stone between a gyrating spindle powered by an eccentric arrangement and an enclosing concave hopper. Both parts are covered by wear-resistant materials to protect them from the broken bits of stone. Most often used as a secondary crusher, hammer crushers feature swinging arms on a revolving shaft that crush the stone against the crusher's iron cage; once crushed, a screen at the bottom of the crusher allows fine stone pieces to exit.
Also referred to as a hammermill, another type of hammer crusher is a reversible hammer mill that can run alternately in either direction. Lastly, instead of using compression, impact crushers break apart stone by means of impaction, which refers to a collision-wrought force. Impact crushers come in two main types: horizontal shaft impactors (HSI) and vertical shaft impactors (VSI).

Having arrived in Kota Kinabalu on Saturday night at about midnight having come via KL from Heathrow on Malaysia Airlines we were met by Ronan. Ronan is an old friend of my younger brother and we were staying the next two nights with him before going up to Mount Kinabalu. By the time we arrived at Ronan's house and had a drink and chat it was well into the early hours. I went off to sleep leaving my brother and Ronan with the bottle of whiskey and chatting. Next morning we were up fairly early and went down to the market in the next village. Amazing fruits and foodstuffs were on sale. Much of it had been gathered from the forests and carried by hand to the market. With the morning gone it was time to head into KK for a look around and get something to eat. The restaurant was a Banana Leaf restaurant with food served on Banana Leaves instead of plates. (Very tasty food.)
I had expressed the desire to climb Mount Kinabalu and so in the afternoon we returned to Ronan's house to meet several members of the church. Ronan and one of the church members (Samy) had decided to come along on the trek. Brother Bob was going up to the forest park with us but because of heart rhythm problems was not going to go up the mountain itself but spend some time on the lower nature trails and checking out the stocks in the hotel bar. So we set out about 4 in the morning from Ronan's house and drove up into the mountains. The air temperature changed noticeably and the air blower was in constant use to keep the screen clear. Just before sunrise, came the first glimpses of the mountain.
We had arrived in plenty of time at the park office to register with the wardens and arrange a guide, a park regulation if you wish to go up the mountain.
The air was cool and clean and we watched clouds form partway up the mountain and disperse, the top floating in and out of site from minute to minute. A profound feeling of being at home with the mountain could be felt. Difficult to put into words but I know what I mean, as I am sure other mountain walkers will no doubt know. Having got our guide we set off up the track. In the early slopes it is fairly broad and well laid out, like going for an afternoon stroll in the park. The slope then begins to increase but always the path is well laid out with shelter huts to rest every few Kilometres. This may sound like an easy Sunday afternoon stroll but what you have to remember is that it is forever onwards and upwards. There are very few points where you are coming back down a dip. Before we had gone too far (a couple of Kilometres I think) Ronan announced that he was too unfit and was going back down to join Bob and would see us the following evening when we got back down.
The route continued upwards through heavy tree lined paths with rest huts at frequent intervals as mentioned before. Much has been done to stabilise the path and combat the erosion caused by countless boots tramping up and down the path. In many places hand rails have been put in. On the way up I couldn't understand the need for them. It was a different story coming back down, I was so tired and my legs so rubbery that I was glad of them.
We pressed on until we reached the Rest House where we bought some lunch (fried rice) and some fizzy drink. We had a short rest here and then pressed on further up as the Rest House was fully booked up. At this point we collected some sleeping bags at the Rest House.
From here the terrain had changed dramatically. Tree cover was getting less dense and the slopes noticeably rocky. A short walk and we get to do so climbing on real rock (easy stuff). Up the face of the rock are permanent ropes. It's a fairly easy haul up the ropes. Don't be deceived by the photo I used the rock angles to make it look more dramatic than it really is!
After arriving at the hut I dumped my gear and had a short look around the hut. Lots of rock, some running water and view down the valley. I had brought numerous Raisin And Biscuit Yorkies with me and I have to confess that that was my evening meal. Having dined upon such an excellent repast I have to admit I was worn out. Knowing it would get cold in the night I took off my boots and left them close to hand (for the middle of the night pee break!) and then climbed into the sleeping bag fully clothed. I wasn't going to risk losing any body heat by taking any clothes off. Some time during the night I was woken by Samy's chatering teeth, he was feeling the cold. I rooted in my rucksack for the spare pullover I had put in there. When you have lived all your life at sea level in Sabah I suppose you don't understand what cold during the night really is until you experience it.
Before sunrise everybody from the rest house arrived at the hut. However, there was a strong wind blowing so the guides would not let anybody start on the final walk up to the summit.
Just before sunrise the wind abated and we all set off. Shortly after leaving the hut the sun started to come up. The light changed by the second and a few minutes later there was full visibility.
A grueling climb brings us to the top of Mount Kinabalu. Time for a quick photo before the weather turns nasty and the clouds come down.
The first leg of the journey back down to the hut was fairly uneventful. I chatted with a young couple from Singapore, the highest they had climbed in their life was Bukit Timah on Singapore some 800 feet high. I got back to the hut and it was some time before Samy appeared, he was the last one back to the hut and many of the other groups had started on the way back down. By the time Samy got to the hut the rain was falling heavily and streaming off the mountainside. Our guide advised not trying to go down whilst the rain was heavy.
Eventually the rain let up sufficiently and the guide said it was time to go. The walk down was fairly uneventful and we made good time to the Rest House where we quickly consumed a plate of fried rice which filled the gaping chasm in our stomachs. The rest of the walk down was slow and uneventful. When we got down to the park my brother and Ronan were waiting with the car and after signing out of the park and receiving our certificates we made our way to Ranau for a Murtabak, a dish of minced mutton with egg wrapped in a paper thin dough and grilled with vegetable oil. Tasty!
Feeling refreshed but somewhat tired and beginning to stiffen up we drove on to the hot springs at Poring. We booked into the hostel and dumped our gear then had a look round Poring. That didn't take long and although the guide book says that there are three inexspensive eating places opposite the hostel we only found one. It was shut but opened up specially for us and although they had had no beer they did have some rice wine.
In the morning we got up fairly early for a dip in the tubs and got some eggs to boil in the hot spring for breakfast. Regulations require that they have too be done in a plastic bag to prevent the springs becoming contaminated with food. It gives a whole new meaning to "boil in the bag". The springs were developed by the Japanese during WWII. Set in picturesque surroundings the water is channeled into tubs and pools allowing the visitor to wallow in steamy sulphurous water. Hot and cold water is available so you can run your tub to the temperature that suits you.
After Poring it was a drive back to Ronan's house and a quick lunch of chicken before dashing off to the airport to fly to Manila. It is my intention to return to Sabah someday as I am sure that there is much more to see and do.

A Local's Guide To Genoa, Italy
Genoa is the capital of the Italian region of Liguria and the sixth-largest city in Italy. In 2015, 594,733 people lived within the city's administrative limits. Over 1.5 million people live in the wider metropolitan area stretching along the Italian Riviera. Located on the Gulf of Genoa in the Ligurian Sea, Genoa has historically been one of the most important ports on the Mediterranean: it is currently the busiest in Italy and in the Mediterranean Sea and twelfth-busiest in the European Union. Part of the old town of Genoa was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2006 as Genoa: Le Strade Nuove and the system of the Palazzi dei Rolli. The city's rich cultural history in art, music and cuisine allowed it to become the 2004 European Capital of Culture. It is the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, Niccolò Paganini, Giuseppe Mazzini, Renzo Piano and Grimaldo Canella, founder of the House of Grimaldi, among others. The city has hosted massive shipyards and steelworks since the 19th century, and its solid financial sector dates back to the Middle Ages. The Bank of Saint George, founded in 1407, is among the oldest in the world and has played an important role in the city's prosperity since the middle of the 15th century. Today a number of leading Italian companies are based in the city, including Fincantieri, Selex ES, Ansaldo Energia, Ansaldo STS, Edoardo Raffinerie Garrone, Piaggio Aerospace, Mediterranean Shipping Company and Costa Cruises.

A pink shirt was the outfit of choice for many Victoria University of Wellington students on 14 April 2011 to support Pink Shirt Day's campaign to stop homophobic bullying.
Three Vic students took the reins in this years' campaign to fight for gay rights and fight against homophobia. The team, comprised of Queer Rights Officer Tom Reed, Genevieve Fowler and Joseph Habgood, presented a petition demand-ing better education and awareness-raising programmes
in schools.
They collected approximately 1650 signatures and sent the petition to New Zealand Prime Minister John Key.
Genevieve Fowler said the message they are trying to share is one of rights.
"When it comes down to it, gay rights are human rights. And any kind of inequality in society affects everyone."
Fowler was pleased that the 15 volunteers were both straight and gay, saying "this was a cause which bought people together from across the board."
Pink Shirt Day originated in Canada when David Shepherd, Travis Price and their teenage friends organized a high-school protest to wear pink in sympathy with a Grade 9 boy who was being bullied.
