Once upon a time we took a long vacation to the Hawaiian Islands and visited Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui and Hawaii. We walked on the hot lava fields of Kilauea Iki volcano on Hawaii, walked the quiet and lonely beaches of Molokai, marveled at the waterfalls of Maui and dined in the middle of a tropical organic farm, sailed up the Wailua River in the Waimea Canyon of Kauai to the Fern Grotto, helped harvest pineapples in the fields of Lanai, and played on the beaches and enjoyed the shops on Waikiki Beach of Oahu, climbed to the top of Diamond Head and marveled at the view, went to a luau in Paradise Cove and learned (somewhat) to hula, went to the Honolulu Zoo and visited the flying monkies who were there on vacation also, visited Hanauma Bay and watched everyone snorkeling among the reefs, rented a plane and reenacted the bombing of Pearl Harbor (an unnerving experience), and just enjoyed the beautiful people and islands.

The basic duties of a kimono-san are to greet and welcome guests, serve drinks, engage in conversation and to keep everyone happy and entertained. But how to entertain the guests? Well, there are many amusing games to be played, beautiful and elegant dances to be performed. Our kimono-sanâÃâ¬Ãâ¢s repertoire of subjects ranges from politics to art, through pop music and drinking games. No matter what the occasion, or whom the guests may be, a kimono-san will make your guests comfortable and relaxed.
The tradition of tasting tea originated in China in about the 8th century and was brought to Japan by Zen Buddhists priests at the end of the Heian Period (12th century), who used it to prevent drowsiness during their long hours of meditation. The popularity of tea-drinking among the people began in the early 14th century.
The four principals of tea ceremony are WA = harmony KIE=respect SIE=purity and JAKI=tranquility.
The host/hostess shows respect to the guest by creating a tranquil and harmonious atmosphere and ritually purifying all the tea implements be for preparing the tea.
The type of tea ceremony that a kimono-san performs is called O-bon temae or tray style.
In O-bon temae, the hostess places a tea bowl, whisk, tea scoop, linen cloth and a tea jar on a special tray these items are covered by a silk handkerchief. Thin green tea is prepared on the tray while kneeling on the floor or seated at a small table. This is usually the first ceremony learned, and is the simplest to perform, requiring neither much specialized equipment .
This games involves throwing an opened fan at an object placed on a block of wood. The object of the game is not only to knock the object off the block, but to create the most beautiful shape between the fan and the object in the process. There is a set score sheet, with diagrams, and the more beautiful and skilled the throw, the more points are awarded. The first player to a set number of points wins.
Kompira Fune Fune
This is a very fast paced game. A small object such as a sake cup or similar is placed between the two players. A song called "Kompire funefune" is played and sung, and on each beat of the drum, the players must take turns to place their hand on the object. The player may decided to take the object away, in which case the other player must place a fist where the object was. This continues until one player puts a hand wrong. It seems complex, but once it is seen, it is very easy to play, and very fun too.
Tora Tora
This game is very much like rock paper scissors. The two players are divided by a screen, or must stand back to back. The other guests keep score. On the count of three the two players must pose either as a hunter, a tiger, or an old woman. The hunter beats the tiger, the tiger beats the old woman, and the old woman beats the hunter.
Sake konkon
This is a drinking game. A sake cup is filled, nearly to the brim. Each player takes it in turn to add just a drop more sake, until one player spills the sake. They must drink what is in the sake cup. It is then refilled and game starts again.
"Sayuu" means "Left and right". To start, all players, except the kimono-san, place one hand on the table. The furisode-san will then start to sing a chant, and clap the rhythm. With each clap, the players must swap which hand is placed on the table. At the end of the chant, those with their left hand on the table have won, and those without have lost.
Let our kimono-san Matsuko mystify you as she reads your fortune. She is well versed in the art of the Tarot.
Please note. That for legal reasons this service is only available in conjunction with at least one other service within St.Louis city limits.
Let our kimono-san enchant you as they weave fanciful tales of old Japan. Hear storys ranging from clasical japanese fary tails to histrical advenchers. A crowd pleser for all ages.

Be thankful, because someone would gladly take your place
Hello Sweet Friends, It is hard not to be encouraged this week as you see post and reminders everywhere to be thankful. Even amidst our cold and wet weather here, you can still find a heart of gratitude as you plan out the family and old friends coming home, because isn't that one of the greatest blessings of all, to have those you love near?
Unfortunately, for some this time of the year brings tears of sorrow, of loss, or pain or even regret. I recall a number of faces over the past month of traveling that will be having their first Thanksgiving as single women or single mothers or widows, and that is hard. I have loved on many who lost those they loved wholly this year, and that too will be hard. Even in our community, we have seen much loss the past few months. Children to car accidents. One of my dearest friends lost her precious mom, and one of my youth (and her 4 siblings) lost their dad after loosing their mother six months ago, and our community and a slew of grandchildren lost a great man just a few weeks back. Let's be honest, for some being thankful will not come easily this week.
I saw and even posted on my facebook page this morning the very thing you take for granted is what someone else is praying for..... another moment, another hug, another smile, another thanksgiving or Christmas picture, a child, a spouse, a home, a job. And we get so easily distracted by outside voices running through our home, and the pile of laundry and trying to juggle schedules to make it all work out so that no one is offended. Right? But could would stop and be thankful even amidst chaos?
I suppose today you have needs as I have needs, and they may seem impossible even, but may God remind us of the blessings that we take for granted. A roof over our heads in the midst of this rain when there are children that have no home. Warmth for our bodies when there are those without coats. Hugs and kisses from those we love, while some feel unlovable. More memories to be made while some feel all alone. But could we do more than just be thankful.......
Could we not just say we will pray, but rather be there for those who don't feel overly joyous when the holidays creep upon them? Could we reach out and love on them? Could we serve them? Could we call them? Could we stop all the "fixing" and be present? Could we invite them over?
I know for the longest time we wore WWJD bracelets, and I remember someone saying one day, stop asking the question What would Jesus do? and start doing it. The heart of Jesus pursued those hurting, lost and broken, so perhaps we should start living as Christians not just say we are? Perhaps?
I pray over this week, you will still your heart to hear that whisper of where He is calling you to serve, and follow Him! There is truly a difference in serving from obligation verses out of a heart of love. May you see the difference this week, and may it touch you forever!
May we be the hands and feet of Jesus to those who desperately need You this week!
Seek. Love. Follow.
In His Wings, RO

Dallas, TX – November 21, 2017 Alternet Systems, Inc. (USOTC: ALYI) today released a shareholder presentation to review the recently filed financial report for the 3rd Quarter of 2017 highlighting the company's transition to a new lithium energy integration and development business plan. The report is available on the Company's website and with the entire narrative included below.
Alternet Moves Into Lithium Energy Integration And Development
On July 21, 2017, the Company acquired Lithium IP Holdings in a transaction that included a management and business direction change. Randell Torno was named the new Alternet Systems Chairman and CEO. Edward Bollen, the President of Lithium IP Holdings, also joined the Altnernet Systems management team. On June 23, 2017, Lithium IP Holdings executed an agreement with Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (NYSE: APD) to exclusively license ten U.S. Patented lithium battery technologies with an option to acquire the ten U.S. Patents.
Randell Torno and Ed Bollen both have a long background working with companies that are key participants in both industrial and military technology industries. Together they bring both public and private sector experience working in the military and intelligence sectors. Both retired from government service, but are still engaged in recurring work with foreign and domestic government agencies. In their experience, they have repeatedly come across demand for resilient energy solutions that meet industrial and military requirements for stable, safe, long duration power in high impact operating systems. Accordingly, they went to look for such a technology solution and found the portfolio of ten lithium energy technology patents that are now exclusively licensed to Alternet in an agreement that includes an option to purchase.
In the first quarter of 2017, Mr. Torno and Mr. Bollen raised funds privately to research and ultimately acquire an energy storage technology that would satisfy industrial and military requirements for stable, safe, long duration power in high impact operating systems. The merger of the Air Products and Chemicals Lithium Patent Portfolio into Alternet is now public information.
Alternet's New Lithium Technology Integration And Development Strategy
Alternet's business strategy today is to partner with prominent third parties producing products and services that require stable, safe, long duration power in high impact operating systems. Within such partnerships, Alternet and each partner will together develop an integrated solution that includes a power component based on Alternet's lithium technology. The combination of Alternet's military background and high potential of the technology for applicability in military solutions presents a promising partnership development opportunity. At the same time, Alternet is also developing partnerships separate from the military industrial sector to include the Electric Vehicle (EV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) partners. Several potential partners participated in Alternet's vetting process when identifying and selecting a technology to acquire as the foundation of the company's strategy to bring a stable, safe, long duration power solution to market for high impact operating systems. Partnership announcements are anticipated to be forthcoming soon.
$3 Million Technology Portfolio Acquired and $4 Million Debt Targeted for Write-Down
The current financial statement largely reflects the previous financial services business which it exited when the company acquired the current lithium business. The company has little in the way of revenues to report over the last two years from its previous financial services business. The company anticipates generating future revenues from the integration and development of lithium power solutions. The balance sheet reports over $4 million in legacy liabilities. Management is actively engaged in addressing legacy liabilities that have little in the way of any security since the debts were incurred from the financial operations that are no longer active. Management's goal is to reduce or write-down a substantial portion of the legacy debt. At the same time, the value of portfolio of patents has been estimated at approximately $3 million. The company has conservatively not entered any asset value on the company's balance sheet at this time. As the company engages into partnerships to integrate and develop lithium solutions based on the portfolio of the lithium patents, the conservative approach to addressing the value of technology portfolio can be offset by the resulting revenues. Management's goals include executing the first lithium integration and development partnerships and making dramatic improvement to the company's balance by the time the 2017 year-end financial statement is reported.
Lithium Exploration Group, Inc. (LEXG) Business Development
Lithium Exploration Group, Inc. (USOTC: LEXG) and Alternet remain engaged in business development efforts surrounding a combined strategy leveraging the respective lithium technologies of both companies. The two respective management teams consider the two respective lithium technology portfolios to be complimentary and remain committed to striking a deal between the two companies.

Seeing the light
Much of the first phase of the energy transformation is complete. Globally, we have shifted our focus from a firm reliance on coal, nuclear, and natural gas to truly imagining a future fueled by renewable energy sources. In countries such as Germany and Denmark, the first phase of the transformation, characterized by extensive subsidies for and surging private investment in renewables as a niche, has given way to Phase II, where power generation by renewables represented more than 30 and 40 percent of these countries' energy supply, respectively, in 2017.
Civic power, especially, has become a significant market force, complementing and competing with traditional government and corporate players in the sector. Here, a decentralized energy revolution – one made possible by the liberalization of the energy sector – creates opportunities for new players, new platforms, and new strategies for (literally and figuratively) powering the grid.
Our new book, Decentralised Energy – A Global Game Changer, will be released in autumn by Ubiquity Press London. Along with our co-authors Antony Froggatt, a specialist on energy security at Chatham House (the Royal Institute for International Affairs), and Catherine Mitchell, a professor of energy policy at Exeter University, we examine the two major approaches driving the energy transformation. Our co-authors analyze lead markets in terms of decentralized energy generation from a regulatory (top-down) perspective, whereas our focus is on individual businesses and startups (bottom-up), who are embracing risk and agility and radically changing the energy sector business model. With the emergence of decentralized energy, such as wind, solar, or biomass, as a major source for power generation, renewables are becoming part of an integrated service solution. As our excerpted interviews with energy startup leaders show below, innovation and unconventional ideas are paving the way to new frontiers of our energy systems, both in the industrialized world as well as in developing countries and emerging economies.
Sebastian Groh, SOLshare
Through its peer-to-peer solar energy trading platforms, SOLshare has created a revolutionary approach to affordable solar electricity delivery for consumers in Bangladesh and beyond.
In Bangladesh, there were already lots of people sharing their electricity, for example by going to a neighbor and asking them to charge a phone, or there was someone who did this on a commercial basis and took a certain fee for that. But we also saw people connecting their households with cables to their neighbors and paying per hour of light bulb use. They had to monitor this at all times, though.
Translating these fees into kilowatt hours opened our eyes: From $3.50 up to $10 per kWh is what we economists call the energy-poverty penalty, and what we entrepreneurs call a massive market opportunity. Combining these two insights creates an opportunity in which everybody can win.
People are willing to share and pay for power, and there is excess electricity available. Plus, there are still many households that cannot afford a solar home system, despite the micro-credit schemes. The sharing scheme can be designed to be inclusive enough to make it affordable for them as well, while turning other prosumers into local energy entrepreneurs.
In Bangladesh, there is an extremely high density of these solar home systems. Our idea was to connect these systems and, based on the connections, to increase overall capacity through synergy effects. At the same time, in order to achieve a certain level of diversification, we would tap into the unused 30 percent potential. We started from this idea and called it "swarm" electrification, in which the swarm is more powerful than the individual unit and we would have peerto- peer communication. Each system speaks to the next system. If one system drops out, nothing happens – a fairly resilient model. In contrast to a conventional mini-grid, which has a determined system size, our model can also grow organically.
If we interconnect solar home systems and incrementally add more generation and storage sources, we will have a much better business case because our capital expenditure is limited to the cabling from house to house, as well as to a bidirectional meter, which we call the SOLbox. It essentially works as a net meter. Whenever a household is a net consumer, its balance decreases – not in kilowatt hours but in Taka, the Bangladeshi currency. Whenever a household is a net producer, the balance increases. The balance is directly mirrored on the mobile phone in a mobile money wallet. Then that money can be used in real time for payments of all sorts, not just energy. That is the biggest value proposition for our customers.
Klara Lindner, Mobisol GmbH
From a two-man startup to a company with over 750 employees in just 7 years, Mobisol creates sustainable and affordable renewable energy solutions for impoverished communities. Based on our field research, we knew what the product of the pilot phase should look like: complete all-in-one kits big enough for real appliances (to fulfill willingness to pay), plus credit financed over three years (to ensure the ability to pay). We wanted to include after-sales (to ensure long life), and favored ownership rather than rental solutions (to make sure people take good care of the product). So we designed a first offer that we could test with real customers: We went for three different PV all-in-one systems (60Wp, 120Wp, 200Wp) and a 36-month credit and technical services agreement.
For this, a second hardware prototype was developed, now fully functional. We could remotely turn the PV system on and off based on incoming mobile money payments and we could gather performance and usage data in real-time to foresee maintenance activities through the modem inside the system. We used material from the Tanzanian DIY store for the casing, which was not only cheap but ugly enough so that our pilot phase customers would understand that this really was only a first shot and that we would warmly appreciate their feedback.
With our local partner organization, we created a concept for awareness-creation, marketing, and sales within a few months and started our pilot phase with 100 paying customers in October 2011 close to Arusha, Tanzania.
The product itself was clear now, but the remaining question was how to realize the business model in a viable way. What are the key activities and key resources on our side? What do key partners do? How should we organize the high-quality and cost-efficient installation and maintenance of the PV systems, and distribute these efficiently in rural East Africa?
Our first move was to develop a plugand- play kit that customers could install themselves. In co-creative sessions with real customers, we even managed to draft an accompanying manual. But we came to realize that even though our customers were now able to do the installation themselves, they simply did not want to. "This is like having to put the engine into your new Mercedes- Benz!" said one of our pilot customers. People wanted someone knowledgeable to do the job.
So we decided to bring local village technicians (who until then had been repairing houses, bikes, or phones) into the model. Through a two-week program at the newly created "Mobisol Akademie," they were trained and certified as Mobisol Installation Technicians. After gaining some experience, the technician could later take another twoweek training course and become a maintenance technician.
The real-time performance and usage indicators from each system fuel an online database, which is our backbone for maintenance. A web-based interface makes it possible to coordinate technical activities in the village in an effective and viable way. With that concept, we not only arrived at a feasible solution for us in the end, but we also made our customers even happier (they know and trust their local technicians more than foreigners) and it created jobs in the village.
Lars Krückeberg, Solarkiosk
Solarkiosk enables the economic development of base-of-the-pyramid (BoP) communities through the provision of clean energy services, quality products, and sustainable solutions.
The idea of providing decentralized energy via a kiosk resulted from the observation that informal markets exist all over sub-Saharan Africa, including areas beyond the grid, and kiosks are a familiar feature even in the most remote regions. We looked at the idea of a kiosk from a purely technical point of view: What type of (not too heavy) building could be manufactured on an industrial scale, such that it could be transported anywhere, erected very easily, and, once erected, produce power in a safe and sustainable manner while requiring low levels of maintenance? You have to imagine it as a "power room" in which other commercial operations are also possible.
We started with the assumption that we have to convince people to come to the kiosk, which means we need traffic. So we have to offer something that people need. Once they have arrived at the kiosk, they realize there is light at night and see that solar power actually works. Meanwhile, we can offer cold drinks, play music, and provide a social space. We opted for fast-moving consumer goods and special products related to hygiene – one pillar of our sales strategy. We had to start becoming retailers as well as experts in marketing and things we never dealt with before. We founded a joint venture with a family in Botswana that operates one of the largest franchise chains in sub-Saharan Africa – real retail professionals. They showed us how retail in Africa is functioning. We sharpened our understanding of how to maintain close ties with our operators. We do not employ them – we would rather create a partnership with them and formulate precise contracts. We would not sell our kiosks because they would be too expensive. However, we would enable local entrepreneurs to start a business with it.
The second range of products relates to solar energy. That is where the impact actually starts! From a pocket lamp to a full-fledged home lighting system, we provide energy solutions for the residents. The third business line for our kiosks is energy services. When the kiosk generates electricity to operate its point of sale – including having the lights, a small computer, and a solar fridge on – the kiosk can sell its excess production to other businesses connected to the kiosk. Alternatively, we can use the excess electricity for entertainment, for example for a TV. The TV can then be transformed into a small cinema, and the operator of the kiosk can charge an entry fee to show football. Wherever a kiosk is established, other businesses emerge too. Now we are learning how a kiosk is a nucleus and trigger for other ventures, such as rental space, a cinema, and internet connectivity.
In those areas, quantum leaps are possible. It is a positive development to provide these people access to goods and information. But it is also a gigantic business opportunity. For that type of infrastructure, a person in charge has to be on site to market and sell this offer. People then also need devices to access the internet, and these devices have to be charged. When spending all these billions in technology, investors expect these services to emerge automatically, but that is not the case. Rather, they have to be initiated by organizations such as Solarkiosk. We are an analog road to market, but we pave the digital road to market.

Woman as Place
The art piece Woman as Place is a interactive game made by artist Angela Washko which features over 200 postcards from around the world and from 23 states throughout the US. Upon entering the game made using Twine the user is given an option of text choices questioning what is going on or simply jumping right in and being sent through a portal to complete the journey that is promised at the start through the text . Once a viewer has started the journey they are given a list of sites to specifically choose from and a map that sometimes sends you to a random location in the world. The user goes throughout the world clicking on locales in order to see the representations of women and places as depicted on postcards collected from the various locations. Once a site has been chosen either from the list of location names or the map, a message shows the number of sites 'worth' seeing which is the number of postcards that are in the collection from that country or state.
By showing the various portrayals of women on postcards, the piece looks at the interesting and often hyper-sexual depiction of women throughout the world. Putting both the extreme postcards, like the fat shaming cards from Florida, along with the older and more peaceful cards, like another card from Florida featuring a woman feeding a deer, the art displays the change in depictions over time as well as the cultural differences in how locations chose to represent themselves.
Gabby Bess explains the interactive piece, saying
"In All the Places You'll Go (Women as Place), artist Angela Washko demands the viewer consider, through a massive interactive collection of postcards from nearly every state in the US and from countries abroad, the limited ways women are depicted and used as regional commodities." Bess,Gabby(2016, Jan. 29)'Come See Our Beautiful Ladies!' Collecting Women's Bodies on Postcards
In an interview the artist Angela Washko explained
"I was traveling a lot, and in every city I would go to I would look at the tourist shops.I would always be drawn to the postcards. I started noticing that, along with beautiful landscapes and landmarks, another category of cards was women as representations of destinations...I started realizing that a lot of very similar cards were in both places. These are places that are geographically on opposite coasts, and they're very different, but they were being represented in the same way." Washko,Angela(2016, Jan. 29)'Come See Our Beautiful Ladies!' Collecting Women's Bodies on Postcards
The sheer number of postcards in Woman as Place gives plenty of examples to compare and contrast the women on postcards from all across the globe. This is very interesting as some cards are very different whether it be because of time or location differences, while others are extremely similar even though they are from two very separate locations like the beach clad women that can be found on either coast of the US. The collection of various postcard depictions makes us think not only about the portrayals of women but also the fact that these postcards were made in some attempt to attract people to the location. The idea of places being depicted by some of the more tasteless examples is very baffling. Postcards are used as souvenirs and whether they are sent or collected they are a representation of a place and travel around the world and are seen by many. Seeing the manner in which women are incorporated into the images of the places is a very intriguing and startling reflective look at how society views women. Whether it's the horrid fat shaming and hyper-sexual representations or the cards from earlier times depicting women working various jobs the representations of women evolve and change over time and across the world. Having this collection of the worst and best of this medium makes an archive that can be referenced for years to reflect on how things have changed, or not changed,as we move into the future and around the world.
In another piece titled Playing A Girl Washko asks players on World Of Warcraft about their definitions of feminism and why they choose to play as female characters and tries to discover the real truth about women in the online gaming world.This piece is similar to Angela Washko's previous work in the sense that she looks further past how women are treated and depicted but searches for WHY. What she finds is a lot of men playing as female characters that when asked for a reason the vast majority of responses was that they enjoyed looking at the backside of a female rather than looking at a male. After this response Angela questions them as to whether or not they are attracted to their avatars the common answer was an outstanding no, and the players circle back on their reasoning and leaves the thought of if they are not attracted to the digital characters then why is the gender of their backsides so important to so many players.
The style in which the postcards are presented is similar to the clickable story line in Loaded 5x by Doug Aitken . Both allow the viewers to have a 'control' over the order and manner in which they view all the art and images present in the two pieces. The controlled freedom that is present in this format allows both artists to tell their story or showcase their collections in a manner that engages the viewers allows the meaning and purpose of both pieces to be experienced in a personal and intimate fashion.

Union Council – the highest decision-making body of SUSU – have elected eight new councillors to join the group for the rest of the year.
The idea of electing eight new candidates, in the positions of Open Councillors, was introduced last year to aid students who had developed an interest in – and who felt they could help improve – SUSU.
The successful candidates – in the order they were elected – were Sophie Van Eetvelt, Matthew Hicken, Simon Duncan, Joel Young, Laura Mason, David Gunns, Simon Boyce & Jack Kanani.
Seeing the number of people who put themselves forward made me incredibly proud.David GilaniVP Communications
Overall, 27 candidates stood for the positions, meaning they were hotly-contested with more than 70% of those who put themselves forward being unsuccessful. It showed a dramatic improvement from last year where not all the positions were filled.
Whilst only councillors can be vote at Union Council meetings, any student can attend and speak at the meetings about issues that they feel are important.

No words needed. They just intuitively recognize the value of each other in their lives and act accordingly.

Friday's Daily Action
Keep your Members of Congress (MoCs) accountable on health care!
This will not be the last we hear from members of Congress who want to rip away health care from tens of millions of Americans, and weaken patient protections for many millions more. We must stay watchful as opponents will surely try to find other ways to chip away at the law.
Just because there was no vote doesn't mean our MoC's don't need constituent feedback. Call Scott Tipton's Office at 970-241-2499 or you can email let him know how you feel about his stance (or lack thereof) on TrumpCare. And let him know that you're going to keep watching out for any new attacks on the ACA down the road. While Trump and Ryan have retreated "for the foreseeable future" (to quote Ryan again), this fight is not over.
Call Rep. Scott Tipton TODAY!!

Reasons for Designation
Stone alignments or stone rows consist of upright stones set in a single line,
or in two or more parallel lines, up to several hundred metres in length. They
are often sited close to prehistoric burial monuments, such as small cairns
and cists, and to ritual monuments, such as stone circles, and are therefore
considered to have had an important ceremonial function. Stone alignments were
being constructed and used from the Late Neolithic period to the Middle Bronze
Age (c.2500-1000 BC) and provide rare evidence of ceremonial and ritual
practices during these periods. Due to their rarity and longevity as a
monument type, all examples that are not extensively damaged will be
considered worthy of protection.
Round barrows are funerary monuments dating from the Late Neolithic period to the Late Bronze Age, with most examples belonging to the period 2400-1500 BC. They were constructed as earthen mounds, sometimes ditched, which covered single or multiple burials. They occur either in isolation or grouped as cemeteries and often acted as a focus of burials in later periods. Often superficially similar, although differing widely in size, they exhibit regional variations in form and a diversity of burial practices. There are over 10,000 surviving examples recorded nationally (many more have already been destroyed), occuring across most of Britain, including the Wessex area where it is often possible to classify them more closely, for example as bowl or bell barrows. Often occupying prominent locations, they are a major historic element in the modern landscape and their considerable variation in form and longevity as a monument type provide important information on the diversity of beliefs and social organisations amongst early prehistoric communities. They are particularly representative of their period and a substantial proportion of surving examples are considered worthy of protection.
Despite limited modification, the stone alignment, standing stone, and round barrows in this scheduling survive well. The underlying old land surfaces, and remains of any structures or other deposits associated with these and with the upstanding earthworks and stones, will also survive. The stone alignment has the largest stones of any known in Cornwall, and its relationship with the contemporary standing stone is rare and will contribute to our understanding of prehistoric ritual activity. The close association with round barrows is of interest in considering the development of ritual landscapes over time.
The monument includes a stone alignment and standing stone of Neolithic to
Bronze Age date, known as the Nine Maidens and the Fiddler or Magi Stone
respectively, and two Bronze Age round barrows or burial monuments. They
are situated on slightly sloping high ground, west of a summit north east
of St Columb Major. The round barrows are associated with others beyond
this scheduling, being western outliers of a wider hill and ridge-top
barrow cemetery. The scheduling is divided into four separate areas of
The stone alignment, on the south west in the scheduling, runs fairly straight south west to north east across the slight natural gradient. It is almost exactly in line with the Fiddler standing stone, located on a ridge approximately 600m north east, described below. The alignment is 107.6m long and has nine component stones, set fairly closely and evenly. The three stones on the south west end are closest together, with intervals of 8m and 9m between them. The others are 11m-15m apart, except on the north east where the end stone is 23m beyond the rest. The Nine Maidens are Listed Grade I.
The nine stones in the alignment are of a type of local grey slate streaked with white quartz, and are apparently unworked. In plan the stones are roughly rectangular at ground level, apart from that on the south east end which is squarish, and their longer axes are orientated with the alignment. They measure 0.3m-0.9m across. In outline they are pillar-like, most tapering slightly towards the top. The central stone has a marked bulge below its middle, and that sixth from the south east has a jagged top, but this is only 0.6m high and is thought to have been truncated in antiquity. The other stones are 1.04m to 2.05m high (the north east end stone is lying, broken and partly embedded, but would have been higher originally). The south west end stone and broken sixth stone are upright, and that eighth from the south west inclines slightly north west. All the other stones are angled to the south east; the seventh from the south west leans close to the ground, indicating that it is displaced.
The standing stone known as the Fiddler or Magi Stone, also named the Whitehorse and the Old Man, is on the north in the scheduling. The stone is recumbent, its axis lying south west-north east, but is considered to remain at its original site. It measures approximately 1.5m-1.6m across, having been truncated to a length similar to its original width, and rises around 0.6m above ground level. The stone type is the local grey slate with white quartz, resembling that used for the Nine Maidens.
Moving east to the two round barrows, the first is sub-circular in plan, and measures approximately 22m across overall. It has a mound measuring 18.3m north-south by 17.5m east-west, and up to 2.5m high. Aerial photographs provide evidence of a buried ditch surrounding this, around 2m wide. The fabric of the mound is exposed in places, and includes clayey earth with darker soil above it and local white quartz rubble above this, providing evidence for layered construction. In profile, the mound has curving sides modified by erosion, and a flattish top with a hollow up to 4m across and 0.5m deep, considered to be the result of an antiquarian excavation.
The second barrow, on the north east in the scheduling, has an earth and stone mound approximately 21m in diameter and 0.4m high, rising to around 0.6m above the natural slope to the north. It has a platform type profile, with a broad, slightly concave top. There is no evidence for an external ditch.

Lemon Tarragon Chicken/
This recipe is delicious and very quick to make. It is my go-to when I have had a long day and just need a dinner that is refreshing and healthy (lemon and extra virgin olive oil are both known for their health benefits). Leftovers are great on their own or in chicken sandwiches.
1.5 lbs boneless and skinless chicken, breast or thighs
1 lemon, juice (zest, optional)
1 tsp dried tarragon
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt and black pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse the chicken and remove large pieces of fat. Place pieces in a single layer in an 8 x 8 glass baking dish (or larger if needed). Squeeze lemon over chicken and drizzle olive oil over the top. Then sprinkle the tarragon, salt and black pepper over the chicken. Bake for 20 minutes or until done.

One of BID's volunteers, Laurie Green-Eames, writes:
Morton Hall Immigration Removal Centre (IRC) was a prison until 2011. This recent past is obvious when you arrive, in our case in a taxi from Newark Northgate station. Concrete posts that jut into the sky are tethered by the neat coils of razor wire that sit atop chain-link fences. Heavy duty gates with video screens and buzzers are opened and shut as you move between the outside world and the various internal sections of the IRC.
Concrete posts that jut into the sky are tethered by the neat coils of razor wire that sit atop chain-link fences
We were there for an afternoon drop-in session for the immigration detainees at Morton Hall, to provide advice for those seeking bail. The people at the IRCs across the UK are held for an open-ended period of time, sometimes for years, before release or removal from the UK. At Morton Hall they live in one of several blocks of accommodation that appear to be gated-off from the facilities of the welfare block, only open at certain times of the day. In this block, which also houses the library and fax machine, we were allocated a fairly large room with a few chairs and tables and an electric space heater. Even in spring it gets very cold at Morton Hall.
The fax machine with which BID sends and receives communications becomes more important in Morton Hall, because mobile phone reception is so bad. It has apparently improved a little in recent times, but many of the detainees we spoke to independently complained that they struggled to get phone signal in large parts of the centre. As a result, they will often be unable to make or receive calls to or from BID, and therefore rely more on the machine and these in-person visits. Presumably this issue also applies to calls with their families and any legal representation they might have.
Detainees in all the IRCs in the UK face struggles with mental health, including depression and anxiety. The reduced contact with the outside world available at Morton Hall must contribute, especially when combined with the indeterminate nature of their detention and unavailability of legal aid for certain immigration cases. These are often vulnerable people too. Many callers to BID are victims of torture, and have 'Rule 35' reports (prepared by medical practitioners within the IRCs) to prove this. The Home Office must respond to these reports and state whether they will maintain the person's detention or not. In 85% of cases audited, they find that detention must be maintained (opens PDF).
As a Volunteer Caseworker at BID, I have spoken to many people who have stated that they suffer from depression related to their detention, and Home Office figures show that 393 detained immigrants attempted suicide in 2015.
As a Volunteer Caseworker at BID, I have spoken to many people who have stated that they suffer from depression related to their detention
In the course of the 2.5 hour session, we met with just over 10 detainees. Some had quick queries about their bail application, while others had been BID clients for some time and were familiar with the process. Others were new clients who had recently been detained and were bewildered by their situation. One was an asylum seeker just a few days older than me, and I reflected on the privilege that I had grown up with.
Some of the men were frustrated and indignant, some angry. One man cried while talking about his children.
Ultimately some of the people we met will be removed from the UK, while others will be allowed to remain. Some will gain bail. None should be detained.

Week 35
Here we are at week 35. It seems the baby is on a similar schedule to mine lately. When I wake up, shortly after he/she starts moving around. When I go to bed at night, he/she moves for a little bit and then settles down. I suppose the living quarters are getting tight in there, there's more big movements now with some "kicks" here and there. I'm getting anxious though- seems like I can't sit still for too long and my body wants to move! Sitting at my desk all day is getting to be long. I'm taking trips around the office but even that doesn't satisfy me- I'd like to run! :)

The earliest inhabitants of the area around Chandler were Delaware, Cherokee and Kickapoo Indians. These Native Americans led by Chief Bowles were defeated at Battle Creek in 1839. The battleground is located north of the Chandler city limits.
The first record of a white family in the Chandler area is that of Alphonso H. Chandler and his wife, the former Mary A. Brooks and their seven children. They came to the area in 1859 and settled about one mile north of the present day downtown Chandler. They lived on the road leading from Athens to Tyler. He named the place Stillwater. In 1872, he began the operation of a general store at his farm home in Stillwater
In the year 1880, the Cotton Belt Railroad was being built through the area. Mr. Chandler was very interested in having this railroad go through or near his property and so he made the Texas & St. Louis Railroad a gift of the land if they would establish a depot permanently on the property. The railroad station was born. The railroad company named the new town Chandler. Land was also donated for schools, churches and a cemetery. The railroad brought new businesses, and the town quickly grew with commerce focused on the railroad tracks that paralleled Main Street.
Mr. Chandler built a two-story brick building across the road from the depot at the corner of Broad and Main Street. He made his home on the second floor and the first floor was used as retail. The building burned in the 1920s. Mr. Chandler owned all the lots on the north side of the railroad and he divided it up into town lots. He named the streets and started selling and building a town. Along the tracks on the south side of Main Street along the railroad tracks was two cotton gins and three tomato packing sheds. This was a place of purchasing, packing and produce shipping to the wider world. Today the Old Main Street Market features old lumber that was harvested from one of the tomato packing sheds that stood on the very property where now the boards again reside.

Everything is Bigger in Texas, Including the Opportunity
It's been nearly a month since Gov. Abbott signed SB 1107 into law, igniting a frenzy of excitement and uncertainty in the telemedicine market in the Lone Star State. Now that health providers around the state can proceed without fear of not meeting specs in a litigious environment, they're figuring out how virtual care will impact their business.
Many healthcare organizations fear virtual visits will cannibalize the in-person visits that have historically kept their brick-and-mortar facilities buzzing during business hours. This is true if systems choose to outsource visits to national telemedicine companies that connect your patients with unaffiliated providers. The beauty of virtual care is in the potential for doctors to have instant, ongoing access to patients so they can make new, timelier, and clinically appropriate connections even if the office is closed for the day, the weekend or simply if an in-person visit isn't practical. Instead of fear, health systems should feel excited about the new regulations because doctors in Texas can finally use telemedicine to achieve the greater vision—dramatically expanding the scope, quality, and performance of team practice.
It's all about communication. Telemedicine isn't a new form of care, rather it is a tool for practices to enhance access both to and from patients. With good communication, great care becomes even better, patient satisfaction scores climb, fewer patient emails get lost in your inbox, and phone messages and voicemails stop piling up. Clinic visits become more definitively problem-focused and this new tool actually makes life better for the doctor.
With a virtual care vendor that enables 100 percent in-network referrals, a health system can reduce leakage and ensure better outcomes for their patients by connecting them to the right specialists through integrated care coordination. The new virtual front door to health care enhances efficiency of group practice, empowers the entire care team and creates appeal to a broader customer base. Patient loyalty to doctors and systems surges with the addition of tech-enabled human-to-human access, as does health plan enrollment.
The ability to chat with a knowledgeable physician, informed and with access to the patient's personal history in under a minute is what the market it being trained to demand; and patients are ready. A recent Harris poll showed 72 percent of Americans say it's important that their health insurance providers use modern communication tools, such as live chat, when communicating with them.
Life is too short to wait for appointments—people just want communication. It's all part of the next evolutionary step in health care, for patients, and for physicians. And that next step forward may be even be bigger in Texas.

Dad of North Korea detainee to be guest of Pence at Olympics
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - The father of the U.S. college student who died after being jailed in North Korea will visit South Korea this week to attend the opening ceremonies of the Olympics as a guest of Vice President Mike Pence.
The Washington Post reports that Fred Warmbier's trip coincides with Pence's visit to fight North Korea's propaganda efforts and keep up pressure to halt its nuclear ambitions.
Warmbier's son, Otto, a University of Virginia student from Ohio, was held in North Korean custody for allegedly stealing a propaganda poster. Officials said Otto Warmbier mysteriously suffered brain damage before he was returned to the U.S. last year and died days later.
North Korea has denied mistreating Warmbier.
His parents sat with the first lady at President Donald Trump's State of the Union address last month.

Dedicated to Truth and Virtue
Ridgeview's unabridged Latin credo is neque popularitati neque utilitati at veritati virtutique dedicatum. Translated into English, this means, "Dedicated not to popularity or utility, but to truth and virtue." Herein, 'dedicated' does not have a commemorative sense. Instead, it expresses what individuals working and studying at Ridgeview are dedicating their lives to. These lives are not dedicated to what is popular, because what is popular is so rarely good. Neither is what is popular typically permanent; evanescence is almost a requisite condition of popularity, and Ridgeview is a celebration of permanent things. Moreover, an education chosen purely for practical or utilitarian ends, lacks the epistemological humility to be the one best suited to arranging human affairs, securing liberty, answering the accursed questions, or allowing individuals to develop their quiddities and explore the fullness of their potential. By contrast, we acknowledge that we are at work with those for whom this time may be the last time wherein every choice need not be determined according to strict economic calculations. This education, because it is holistic, must consider the totality of the person and not merely his role as a student. This pedagogy concerns not only how information is communicated, but in ascertaining what manner of living is best. It is an education that inculcates in people an interest in truth, and as such, acculturates them in a disposition anathema to apathy and relativism. It aims to produce people accountable to virtue who reject the solipsistic supposition that such ideas originate within them solely as a result of their own genius. Ridgeview is, as much by its rejection of popularity and utility as by its embrace of truth and virtue, committed to remaining a haven for those genuine individuals who want an education corresponding to their condition as such.
Ridgeview is an inadvertently countercultural institution. It is not idiosyncratic or eccentric for the sake of appearing different, but because we adhere to traditions and believe that education ought to convey a comprehension of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful, Ridgeview appears out of step with society at large. While greater educational choice has resulted in an explosion of gimmicky curricula, Ridgeview has as the author of its curriculum the steady erosive power of time. What remains true or worthy of our contemplation after centuries, remains worth teaching. We persist in a belief that given a properly developed historical imagination, history can teach powerful lessons. We believe that there are forms of authority external to ourselves, and that it is foolish as well as dangerous to disparage religious conviction. We believe that virtues trump values, that there is a comprehensible order in the world, and that reason gets us a long way, but not all the way. We believe that we are obliged to treat one another as ends and not as means, and that our thoughtful and humane participation in the present determines our future.
This form of education is possible only by the combined and coordinated efforts of parents, teachers, and students. At base, the parent's role in this is to behave paternally and support the style and manner of instruction they have chosen for their child. The teacher is expected to dress, speak, and conduct himself in a manner that shows that being here is a calling and not simply a vocation. The student must bring good character, curiosity, initiative, and work ethic. Each of these constituencies must have conversation as a common interest. Each must want Ridgeview to become the public square, a place of both study and deliberation, that exists for everyone's edification. Each must be committed and contribute unabashedly to the greater public good. It is not enough for the administration or the faculty to endorse these goals – the community must live by them. We must all reject utilitarianism as an unsuitable end of education since despite our best laid plans, we cannot know what we will be. We may be a son, daughter, brother, sister, husband, wife, father, mother, but these are circumstantial roles. Whether we are the best version of ourselves in any of these roles is determined by how we commingle knowledge with experience, and the manner in which we cultivate our life with some measure of wisdom. Wisdom is about how we will live, and how we will live is a more pressing concern than the comparatively narrow concern of how we will make our money. While money is necessary, and capable of great good, we must be prepared to live a good life whether riches come to us or not. We must develop the capacity to balance overlapping areas of our lives within the finite framework time and mortality impose. The intellectual, social, physical, spiritual, and mental aspects must all be fed, and what we feed these different dimensions of our lives informs our capacity for fulfillment, contentment, and Eudaimonia.
The cultivation of this community depends upon our not recklessly pursuing an ever-larger enrollment. There is a size beyond which we cannot do what we do. Our goals require a measure of intimacy. Instead of pursuing greater numbers, we pursue greater purpose. Those whom we are most desirous of, are those who understand clearest and are most grateful of what we offer. People who can be mindful, conscientious, appreciative, deliberative, considerate, respectful. These qualities are the precursors of wisdom, and the necessities of paternalism. That we insist on these, and eschew shallowness, pettiness, self-entitlement, apathy, pretentiousness, and ingratitude focuses us on our commitment to the development of both intellect and character, but always of character before intellect.
In this endeavor, we are ever conscious of posterity. Institutionally speaking, we do not live for today. The seeds we plant in education take time to yield the desired fruit, and we know that those with whom we work are not yet who they will finally be. Such a recognition calls for compassion and leniency, as well as the humility to acknowledge that there is much about our endeavor that is unknowable. Nevertheless, Ridgeview must have as its primary constituency people interested in leading a life of the mind. Those adults who are held up as models must live lives worthy of emulation. Each of us must have a regard for his surroundings. Where we study and what we write on our walls informs the culture we immerse ourselves in. The art we look at, the music we listen to, the books we read, the people we befriend – all of this is our education, and no part of it is insignificant. It is because of this that a vigilant regard for truth and virtue is at all times and in all things pertinent, and it is for this reason, that Ridgeview chooses these to which to dedicate all of its considerable efforts.

Join forces to keep the factory open all summer
Our little bohemian dream: To live by the beach, sewing, screen printing and surfing, began October of 2007 in beautiful Sayulita, Mexico.
Pauly and I moved to Sayulita on a whim and opened Rosemary boutique right away. I love to sew and dreamed of selling my creations while Pauly tried numerous business ideas to help keep our dream alive. The screen printing business started to take off about 4 years ago and now Pauly's line of T-shirts (called Pajaro), can be found in 6 different locations along the coast of Mexico as well as online and in our shop.
In November 2013 I decided I could use a hand with sewing and taught my neighbor Zury how to sew. She began helping me every day as our little business grew. Last year I noticed how much clothing I was selling in my shop, that was originating in China and elsewhere and decided that that was a silly notion when I had access to great seamstresses at reasonable wages right here in Mexico. Literally one week later I launched the opening of the sewing factory right here in Sayulita.
Zury and her mother Chela, Maura (our neighbor) and I were the start of Rosemary Mini Fabrica. After about a month of hard work and lots of leaning we decided to add Aureli (sister in law to our hat maker Edgar). A month later we added Nancy (sister to Zury and daughter of Chela). This last big order we did for a beautiful boutique in Cabo we needed extra hands and also had the help of Lilly (another sister of Zury). Finally we added the amazing Melissa from Saltillo as manager of the factory. So currently we are employing 8 locals of Sayulita in the factory plus 4 in our boutique. It feels great to help out the community in this way.
In Sayulita we have a low season and most businesses lay off employees and re-hire in November when high season picks up again. This is hard on the locals as they also depend on this tourism. My goal is to KEEP THE FACTORY OPEN ALL SUMMER and get enough work to keep my girls sewing! I just made the journey to Guadalajara and San Miguel de Allende and got our clothing in 6 boutiques up there, and we are always looking for more boutiques!
If I can get enough summer business I am hoping to keep the factory open! We have exceptional quality and the capability to make very technical clothing on our state of the art sewing machines. If you know anyone who would like to get small (or large) runs of clothing made at incredibly good prices, please send us an email firstname.lastname@example.com or just place an order yourself for some fabulous clothing to get you all set for summer!!

This week, the class had to form the class committee whose members aid in administration and oversee the welfare of the class and the classroom. The established practice in many classes is for students to elect members of the class into these positions. My concern was the misconception among students that voting is the best method to make decisions or select leaders. The selection of the class committee presented an opportunity to examine voting as a method more deeply as well as introduce other methods of selecting leaders and the connection with democracy.
And I had to accomplish all of it within an hour's lesson.
To complicate matters, I discovered that the lesson was the last time all members of the class would be physically present. For the next two weeks, various members would be away for interviews and overseas projects. The easy method would have been to instruct the class to vote on slips of paper which I would collect, tabulate and then announce to the class in the next lesson. The learning opportunity lost and as any good teacher would do, reflect on and remind myself to make a better plan next year - if I remember. But with ICT, I accomplished more in three days than I would in three weeks traditionally.
I opened the lesson by asking how students usually form a class committee and to no surprise, voting was the answer. That opened the space to examine the strengths and weakness of election and explore other methods - delegation, nomination, sortition - as well as the preconditions required to avoid the pitfalls of election.
At the end of the discussion, the class decided on a process of nomination, sortition and election to form the class committee. Though the discussion was fruitful, it took almost the entire lesson with little time left to carry out the proceedings. As mentioned earlier, the next time the entire class would be present was two weeks later. With WhatsApp and Google Forms, we were able to form the class committee by the end of the week without having to meet each other.
The class was given till the end of the day for individuals to nominate themselves into the committee. Students would let me know of their interest to me through WhatsApp or SMS. If more students nominated themselves than the spaces available in the committee, the class would go straight into elections. Otherwise, the remaining spaces would be decided by sortition.
During sortition, their tutor from the previous year was invited to draw the lots prepared. I would have preferred that the class was present to witness but as there were no common time slots, I resorted to photos and updates posted on the WhatsApp group. The sortition from start to end took 15 minutes and the class got the results the instant it was out. With committee filled, the last step would be to elect individuals into the various positions.
Google Form was a natural choice to collect the votes of every student. In the form, a detailed description was given for each position in the class committee followed by the names of the candidates presented in a multiple choice format. Within the hour of sortition, the form was created and the link posted WhatsApp with instructions to submit their votes by that very evening. Then, it was a simple matter of downloading the spreadsheet and making a count with the results of the election posted on WhatsApp.
It was amazing how ICT enabled the class to be more thoughtful and engaged with process of forming the class committee. The process is usually a hurried affair with election as the convenient choice due to the assumption about fairness and equality. With ICT, I was able to devote an entire lesson to discuss about various methods and for the class to design their own process of selection, as well as carry out the entire process without having the gather all of them into one place at the same time.
The results were announced on Friday morning and the elected chairperson soon began thanking the class for the votes. After lunch, I had given the secretary a task to remind the class over the weekend to submit some forms and she highlighted students who would be overseas. It's Sunday morning as I am typing this post but I already know what to expect and the necessary action I'll need to take tomorrow. And the wonderful thing is that all of these took place entirely on WhatsApp.
Form teachers and civics tutors are probably familiar with the difficulties carrying out administrative tasks in class. No matter the number of lessons given, it is never enough to send and collect information in a dynamic school environment. In my first class, the students were initiative and responsible setting up a rather effective SMS relay system. Even so, I was never sure to whom and when the information would reach the entire class. Today, with WhatsApp and Google Form, I was able to complete so much more in much less the time it would have taken. The one hour face to face time was spent on what mattered most, a discussion and exploration.
If simple ICT tools can accomplish so much for administration in school, imagine the possibilities it brings to teaching and learning. Administration is a necessary bane in teaching and learning - dates, destination, details, data - and takes up precious time in class. Most of you are already using ICT tools such as emails, SMS and blogs to handle these matters. But I hope this post provides a spark and inspiration on how it can be improved. The less we do administration, the more we can focus on teaching and learning.
What are your methods of using ICT to improve administration with your classes?

Discover the vineyards near Montreal
Saturday morning, 8:30 am, the hubby and I were looking for the bus for our next day trip, exploring Quebec's Wine Route. After all, it is never too early to drink or to explore. Between all the construction in the meeting point, we got a glimpse of the bus on the other side of the road, we go through a building and we saw our guide, patiently waiting for us. I always hate when people arrive late on tours because they delay everyone and I was scared that we will be one of them. But, thankfully we arrived just on time! The guide, Sabin, greets us inside the minibus and explains we will make two other stops. Once at the second stop, Sabin explained how our day trip will unfold. He then explained that we will do one more pick up stop and that we will be visiting 3 vineyards.
The tour
We chose to do the tour with Kava Tours . The company proposes different tours, full-day tours, half-day tours, winter tours and self-guided tours by bike or by car. The wine route of Quebec is located in Dunham, in the Eastern Townships, around 1:30 hour away from Montrealand it is one of my favourite region near the city. We are not foreign to the wineries in Quebec. In fact, the hubby and I got married in a winery in the same region, l'Orpailleur. However, we decided to take the tour since it is a no-brainer as everything was planned for us and we got exceptional explanations about the culture of wineries in the province. During the drive, we learnt that the oldest wineries are about 40 years old meaning that it is a fairly new industry. The reason why we don't have a striving wine industry is that of the extreme cold weather and the traditional vines from Europe don't survive our extreme temperatures. In fact, there are only a few hybrids varieties of vines that survive the cold like Vidal or Frontenac.
Psst: I have to warn you that if you are a wine connoisseur and like strong and full body wines like Shiraz, you will be extremely disappointed with the taste of the wines, especially the red ones.
When in Montreal, the guide explained a little about the history of the city and the province. All the explanations were done in French and in English, if you are bilingual, you will get more information since the guide tailors the explanations towards tourists and locals so that everyone can learn new things.
The tour is done in a minibus that sits around 20 people. We enjoyed around 15 different wines at 3 different wineries plus a catered lunch made with local products. In total, the excursion lasted around 9 hours as you leave the island at 8:30 am from the first stop and you return to Montreal around 5:30 pm.
Léon Courville Vigneron
The first stop was by far the most beautiful. The vineyard is located on the top of a small hill where you can oversee the vines and the lake in the background. This beautiful domain reminded me about the vineyard in Mont-Orford.
At Léon Courville, the group split into 2 groups where they took us to the vineyard to explain how they grow the vines. Then, we went to see all the fermentation tanks and finally to the tasting room. At this last stage, we had a workshop about which qualities to look after for in a wine and how to properly taste a wine. During the workshop, we tasted around 6 different wines, from red, white and rosé.
Château de Cartes
The second winery that we visited was Château de Cartes (house of cards in English). This winegrower specializes in sparkling wines and also offer ciders since the domain also has apple trees. The winegrower explained to us how the sparkling wine is made and took us to the cellar. Here, we also tasted the Quebec specialty of Ice Wine and Ice Cider. The ice products are made by doing the crops after the fruits freeze due to the frosting winter. This procedure gives a very sweet taste to the alcoholic products.
At this second stop, we had our lunch. The food is included in the tour and was provided by a local cater. The lunch was composed of homemade paté, charcuteries, cheeses, bread and salad. As a dessert, we had an éclair and I had a fruit salad with dark chocolate since I'm lactose intolerant.
Vignoble de la Bauge
The last stop is completely different from the other ones since the owner also raises foreign and wild animals like llamas, deers and boars. Some of the animals are butchered to provide their restaurant with meat. I have to admit that the baby llama was the cutest!
The winemaker is trying to shift his production towards an organic wine production, what a great initiative! These were the wines that we have liked the most. We bought 2 bottles to take home, a white and a rosé.
After all the wine tasting, we hopped back into the bus and returned back home. This was a great day trip activity with insightful information about the specifications of the Quebec wine industry.
If you are looking for a different day trip from the city, this could be a very pleasant activity to add your bucket list. Overall, I found that the tour was extremely well organized, and the guide was very good at explaining everything in both French and English.
- How to book? Visit Kava Tours The tour takes place every Saturday and Sunday in the summer and there are other schedules for the winter tours.
- How long? Around 9hours
- Tour Price? The full-day tour is $134 CAD per person
- What's Included? Around 15 different wines, a lunch and the transportation. Heads up, you need to bring our own bottle of water.

Duke University and NOAA Scientists Partner to Study Seagrass Communities Along the Straits/
If you have traveled through Straits toward Harkers Island, you have probably noticed the strange collection of sticks and net along the shore! After contacting Dr. James Morris of NOAA, he put us in contact with a student working with NOAA and Duke that provided us with a full description of the project, which is explained below.
In the coastal waters of North Carolina, seagrass communities are an essential habitat for many commercially and recreationally important fish, crab, and shrimp species and contribute millions to the state economy annually. The seagrass communities around the Straits are no exception and are well known to support a variety of fish and shellfish that are important to recreational and commercial fisheries.
This summer Dr. Brian Silliman (Duke University Marine Lab) and Dr. Kenneth Riley (NOAA Beaufort Lab) have enlisted the help of a bright summer intern, Anjali Boyd, to study the seagrass communities along the Straits. The study site was selected because it is in an area that will be directly impacted by construction and replacement of the Harkers Island Bridge.
Ms. Boyd, an undergraduate marine science student from Eckerd College in Florida, was recently awarded a NOAA Hollings Scholarship. The distinguished award allows her to spend a summer at the NOAA Beaufort Lab and conduct marine science research that is supervised by Dr. Silliman and Dr. Riley. Ms. Boyd's research focuses on examining a food-web based approach to seagrass conservation, through the inclusion and exclusion of juvenile pinfish in seagrass beds. For her field experiments, Boyd has set up cages, using bamboo poles and plastic netting, off the Harkers Island Bridge in the Straits. The aim of her project is to better understand how juvenile pinfish affect seagrass health. Currently, little is known about the effect of pinfish on seagrasses. Boyd has two hypothesis, (1) pinfish could directly affect seagrasses by consuming them or (2) pinfish could indirectly affect seagrasses through their consumption of mesograzers, small invertebrates that live on blades of seagrass. Mesograzers are responsible for eating algae that grows on seagrass and threatens their growth. Since pinfish are one of the most abundant fish species in coastal habitats and a common prey for many commercially and recreationally important fish species, it is important to better understand their role in theses coastal environments. Boyd is monitoring her experiments daily through July to better understand the effects pinfish can have on seagrass health and productivity.
