Trauma Tapping Techniques Training
Join Gunilla and Ulf from Sweden for a whole day of the movement, song and tapping that releases the effects of trauma. This is a training in the first aid, self help, tapping techniques that have been remarkably effective in many countries for people in the aftermath of conflict and disaster.
If you are already involved in therapy of some sort and looking for a very useful addition, or if you would like just one single tool that can make a difference for any person experiencing emotional or post-traumatic stress then Trauma Tapping Technique is easy to learn.
Content free, there is no need to talk about what happened
Replicable by almost anyone and simple to remember
Empowering and can be used for immediate first aid
Almost Language independent
Can be used by individuals and groups
Easy to combine with other therapies or treatments and works great with music and dance
Completion of this workshop enables you to progress to the TTT certification.
Gunilla Hamne and Ulf Sandstrom
Gunilla worked as a journalist and film maker focussing on human rights. She was able to spread the stories of suffering but not able to help the many traumatised people she met, until she found tapping. Since 2006 when she went to Rwanda to help orphans of the genocide, she has travelled widely bringing the relief of tapping to war zones and refugee camps to free people from the horrors of their experience. Ulf, a professional musician has a background in hypnotherapy and NLP, he joined Gunilla to co-found Peaceful Heart Network.

A lone, mysterious drifter (and his dog Abbie) enters into the forgotten town of Denton, Texas–dubbed by locals as the "valley of violence". There, he picks a fight with a wrong man named Gilly, the troublemaking son of the town's unforgiving Marshal.
As tensions arise between Paul and Gilly, an inevitable act of violence starts a disastrous chain reaction that quickly drags the whole town into the bloody crosshairs of revenge. Only the world-weary Marshal struggles to stop the violent hysteria, but after a gruesome discovery about Paul's past . . . there's no stopping the escalation.
And you thought this was Mayberry R.F.D.
No, this is the edgy action film, In a Valley of Violence, on Digital HD and on Blu-ray and DVD from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. From acclaimed director, Ti West and famed producer Jason Blum, the film stars Academy Award nominees; John Travolta and Ethan Hawke. The In a Valley of Violence Blu-ray and DVD include bonus content that takes viewers on a wild ride behind the scenes with an exciting inside look at the making of the film.
Prepare for a thrilling ride.

I am working to streamline some activities within my community. Is there a way to have a list of account numbers in the background of the form to validate that a Last Name and Account Number is correct?

Hello Erin,
Please note that it is currently not possible to validate input data with any external source or previous submission data.
One way to achieve your requirement is by taking advantage of our "Conditions" feature. You can add condition in your form to check the input data of last name and validate it with the account number.
Hope this helps.
Do try out and get back to us if you have any questions. Please share some account number and resident name, we will create a demo form for you.
Thank you!
- connellyeAnswered on December 27, 2016 at 01:19 PM
Thanks! I was able to put 2 hidden fields with rules that were able to work around this.
Specifically, I did a formula that combined the last name and account number, then had a hidden drop down field with all possible last names and accounts. Then did a condition to make them match, populate a text field with "Valid Account Information". If there isn't a match, the field stays blank and populates that field with "Call Guard Shack".
Thanks again!
- JanAnswered on December 27, 2016 at 02:06 PM
That is a great solution. Glad to hear that your issue is now resolved. Let us know if you need any help. Thank you for updating us.

After dropping him back at home I whizzed back out again, met up with Sue and squeezed in a few op shops before going to my mates for lunch which was lovely.
I'll be really quick tonight, the weather in playing havoc with my internet and I'm supposed to be getting organised for a few days away and I've done bugger all! So here's the latest finds...
Recipe book holder $3 from the dump shop
for my new cook book found (new) the other day
I've made the tomato soup, so I have recipes and kitchen thingies to share sometime next week
My op shop plop found today, I went out especially to find something to share on a new Facebook page here ...I think it might get wild on that page!
I think he's lovely and will have a useful purpose measuring rainfall,
cos that's what we dose out 're in the country!
$2.50 from Habitat for Humanity
Olive oil dipping bowls, brand new $4 from the dump
Willie the Waiter beer glass for the bar/Michael
Little grater thigummy wotsit
Some belts/straps...I'm thinking handles for bags...
A top...obviously, youse ain't that fick are ya! From somewhere for summat!
I can't remember I'M 50!! Fer ferks sake!
The other day I managed a quick visit to the new SPCA shop, (bit overpriced) and got this magazine rack for $10, cat was not included!
Then in the Dinsdale SPCA I got the packs of DMC threads for $2 each and the handles were $2 too
Right I really need to go, but I'll be back soon woth recipes and a whole manner of kitcheny wonders and abysmal failures, I'm such and eejit! Have a great weekend we'rr off up North for a few days!

"It is hard to get there, you need to take a taxi or a bus from Vinales and it is expensive to get there, but the hotel itself is not that bad.
"If you don't have your own car, it is a mission (and expensive) to get here. We made the effort for the diving, which was supposed to be good ... in actuality, it was a really bad experience.
Make sure you take the room with sea view. You have to pay a surcharge (around 10 or 15 cuc for the whole stay) but will have an amazing view.
The bedrooms are big enough with decent shower and hot water, the beach is just 2 steps from the room, and you have everything you need to relax, water is amazing, never saw so clean sea. This is a perfect place to dive, if you are lucky enough, you will dive with the turtles.
You can do the snorekling and well for the boat but also around the pier on the beach. If you are looking a place to dive and relax after running around all the cities in Cuba you will love it." CzajaZeboGornik, Dubli, Eire, Nov. 2014, tripad
"The place is very popular and there is only one dive shop, so the boats and groups are overcrowded.
We were diving with 15 people to a DM and 40-50 people on the boats. It's chaotic and there's no room to move on the boat or prepare your equipment.
The dives themselves are very boring and short, given how many people are with you it's difficult to do anything more interesting.
It's very expensive too, the prices quoted do not include equipment, which is additional and charged per dive.
Overall, I would recommend skipping the diving here and spending more time in Vinales." Shiri1130, Perth, Australia November 2014, tripad

Australian websurfer Neb said this about getting there in Feb 2008 : "The hotel could not arrange for our transfer from Havana so we took the Viazul bus to Pinar (12cuc) then a taxi an old rusty Lada! for the last 200 km for which we had to pay 90cuc!!!!!
An adventurous ride! We were told we had been had because others claimes to have paid only 60cuc."

The so-named « Villas Cabo San Antonio » opened in 2006 and local cows don't seem to mind © j@b travels, flickr.com
|The rest of Neb's comments : PROS:
- Remote location, far from everywhere! Absolutely relaxed and peaceful environment.
- Well sized villa's, with all mod cons.
- Staff all lovely and helpful.
- Killer SANDFLIES! Got >100 bites after my first session at the beach. Take industrial strength protectant, and DO NOT lie directly on the sand. Use the beach chairs, which still does not guarantee you won't get attacked! A BIG problem.
- Poor insulation between each side of cabin means you hear everything in the adjoining room in your cabin.
- Limited restaurant menu gets boring after ~4 days.
Another client Penher said in November 2009 : "Located deep in the Peninsula Guhananacacibes (after a 61km drive amazing!) Villas Cabo San Antonio is made up of small wooden bungalows which are quite spacious and comfortable. The place is magical and will appeal to hikers and lovers of solitude ... The welcome is friendly, the restaurant is pleasant, and Josvel the waiter attentive. Small downside : no real activity on premises but nothing serious ... Small local game : find the nearest gas station located in the Marina (?) 3km ... once you have found it, you will need to return in reverse (as road is too narrow) which may be the longest drive in reverse of your life ... memorable ! "

I just watched Ron Howard's Frost Vs. Nixon, and it got me to thinking why hasn't there been a similar interview of Bill Clinton in a no-holds barred interview covering Clinton's malfeasance. Why hasn't a journalist, similar to a David Frost stepped forward to put Clinton's feet to the fire?
During the Chris Wallace VS. Clinton interview, Wallace asked Clinton a seemingly benign question about capturing Osama bin Laden. Clinton went off to a point where his face turned beat red. As a non-journalist, even I could see Clinton was ready to pop. Even I could see the man had a great deal to hide, and he was ticked off at Wallace for even nearing the precipice of whatever troubled Clinton over the years.
Clinton claimed that he had been ambushed by the question. This makes me think that he and his handlers have carefully avoided a Frost like moment. He wouldn't do such an interview. He learned from the Frost/Nixon interview that there's nothing to be gained from coming clean. Either that, or as hard as it is to believe, no journalist wants to put him through such an interview. As Ron Howard's Frost Nixon movie depicts, there was a blood lust on the part of liberals to savage Nixon and expose him for all that they thought he was. The same emotional lust, I dare say, does not exist for Clinton on the part of journalists.
Clinton political advisor Dick Morris would later say that Clinton got so angry at Wallace, because the answer to the question, in part, involved Clinton's obsession with Monica Lewinsky. Clinton also did not want the negative publicity an action against bin Laden could have had on his presidency.
Regardless of the reasons why, you would've thought that some journalist would've sniffed a huge story out of a follow up interview in which the journalist pressed Clinton on the issue in the manner Frost did Nixon. Wallace, it seems, was caught unaware when Clinton screamed at him. Wallace's intention was to give Clinton a venue to answer some of the questions that were out there regarding Clinton's role in the 'hold your fire' order on bin Laden.
The questions about illegal activity occurring in the Nixon and Clinton whitehouse are legion and similar in many ways, but the media and Hollywood are still obsessed with the Nixon era foibles that occurred nearly forty years ago. Ron Howard stated that he believed that Nixon's misuse of power was similar to George W. Bush's, and he stated that that was why the Frost interview held relevance. Howard said this without a hint of irony or any allusions to the Clinton administration's unlawful activities or misuses of power.
I believe that the reason there hasn't been a Frost style interview with Clinton has to do with a quote from Ron Howard's Frost VS. Nixon in which one of the reporters claims that he would be ostracized from the journalistic community if they failed to nail Nixon in this interview. Perhaps the opposite could be said of the reporter that nailed Clinton. Respect from your peers is mighty in any profession, but in the journalistic community it must be larger than fame and glory.

This month's book is A Short History of Women by Kate Walbert. It's been sitting on my nightstand for months since a friend gave it to me. I really need to get it off my "to read" list so I hope you don't mind reading it along with me. It was listed as one of the best books of 2009 by the New York Times and it got a really great review which you can read here. I hope you all enjoy it!
I look forward to November 18th for a night of great discussion, food and fun!

1 Computer Graphics Hardware and Software Lecture Notes, CEng 477
2 What is Computer Graphics? Different things in different contexts: pictures, scenes that are generated by a computer. tools used to make such pictures, software and hardware, input/output devices. the whole field of study that involves these tools and the pictures they produce. Use of computer to define, store, manipulate, interrogate and present pictorial output.
3 How pictures are represented in computer graphics? How pictures are prepared for presentation? How interaction within the picture is accomplished?
4 Computer Graphics Applications Art, entertainment, and publishing movie production, animation, special effects computer games World Wide Web Book, magazine design, photo editing CG and Image processing (syntesis vs. analysis) Simulations (education, training) CAD architectural, circuit design etc. Scientific analysis and visualization Graphical User Interfaces
5 Display (Video Display Most CG on video monitors Device) Still most popular: Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Other popular display types: Liquid Crystal Display Plasma display Field Emission Displays Digital Meromirror Devices Light Emitting Diodes 3D display devices (hologram or page scan methods)
6 CRT 3. when electron beams contact screen phosphor emits light 1. cathode rays emitted by the electron gun 2. focusing and deflection 4. light fades, redraw required in a small period (refresh)
7 CRT types Direct View Storage Tubes (not CRT, no need for refresh, pictures stored as a permanent charge on phosphor screen) Calligraphic refresh CRT (line drawing or vector random scan, need refreshing) Raster scan (point by point refreshing) Refresh rate: # of complete images (frames) drawn on the screen in 1 second. Frames/sec. Frame time: reciprocal of the refresh rate, time between each complete scan. sec/frame
8 Vector Scan Picture definition is stored as a set of line drawing commands in a refresh buffer. to display a picture, the system cycles through the set of commands in the buffer Designed for line drawing applications (CAD)
9 Raster Scan Screen is a regular grid of samples called pixels (picture element) Screen is refreshed line by line non-interlaced interlaced, cycle 1 interlaced, cycle 2 interlaced, 2 cycles Interlacing: Avoid flickering affect for small refresh rates. interlaced 50Hz: actually 25Hz
10 resolution: a 2D term that measures the number of scanlines and the number of pixels on each line (maximum number of points that can be displayed without overlap on a CRT) black and white display only binary pixels. intensity of a pixel can be achieved by the force of electron beam (gray scale) color display?
11 Color Displays Beam penetration method: special phosphors emitting different colors for different intensity of electron. Slow, limited colors. Shadow mask method: 3 electron guns + a shadow mask grid. Intensities of 3 colors result in an arbitrary color pixel. (most TVs and monitors)
12 black and white: 1 bit per pixel. gray scale: 1 byte per pixel (256 gray levels) true color: 3 bytes=24pits per pixel (2 24 colors) indexed color frame buffer: each pixel uses 1 byte, an index entry in a colormap table matching the color to the actual color.
13 Vector vs Raster Scan raster scan monitors: inexpensive filled areas, patterns refresh process is independent (constant for any complex scene) vector scan monitors: Smooth lines. no need for scan conversion: lines to pixels. (raster scan solution antialiasing) sometimes memory and CPU efficient 1000 lines: Vector scan: 2000 endpoints and 1000 operations Raster scan: whole frame buffer 1000 scan conversions.
14 LCD Displays Thinner and lighter. No tube and electron beams. Blocking/unblocking light through polarized crystals. A matrix of LC cells one for each pixel. No refresh unless the screen changes. Color 3 cells per pixel.
15 Simple Raster Display System Frame buffer: stored pixel map of screen Video controller just refreshes the frame buffer on the monitor periodically. CPU Peripheral Devices System Bus System Frame Memory Buffer Video Controller Monitor
16 Inexpensive Scan conversion of output primitives (lines, rectangles etc.) done by the CPU. Slow. As refresh cycle increases, memory cycles used by the video controller increases. Memory is less available to CPU. Solution: Graphics Display Processor
17 Graphics Display Processor Scan conversion, output primitives, raster operations (double buffering) Separete frame buffer CPU Peripheral Devices System Bus Display Processor System Memory D. Proc. memory. Frame Buffer Video Controller Monitor
18 Computer Graphics Software Rendering Primitives Models are composed of, or can be converted to, a large number of geometric primitives. Typical rendering primitives directly supported in hardware include: Points (single pixels) Line segments Polygons (perhaps simple, triangle, rectangle)
19 Modeling primitives include these, but also Piecewise polynomial (spline) curves Piecewise polynomial (spline) surfaces Implicit surfaces (quadrics, blobbies, etc.) Other... Software renderer may support modeling primitives directly, or may convert them into polygonal or linear approximations for hardware rendering
20 Algorithms A number of basic algorithms are needed: Transformation: Convert representations of models/primitives from one coordinate system to another Clipping/Hidden surface removal: remove primitives and part of primitives that are not visible on the display Rasterization: Convert a projected screen space primitive to a set of pixels.
21 Advanced algorithms: Picking: select a 3D obejct by clicking an input device over a pixel location. Shading and illumination: Simulate the interaction of light with a scene. Animation: Simulate movement by rendering a sequence of frames.
22 Application Programming Interfaces X11: 2D rasterization Postscript, PDF: 2D transformations, 2D rasterization Phigs+, GL, OpenGL, Direct3D: 3D pipeline APIs provide access to rendering hardware via conceptual model. APIs abstract the hardware implementations and algorithms in standard software calls.
23 For 3D interactive applications, we might modify the scene or a model directly or just the change the attributes like viewing information. We need to interface to input devices in an event driven, asynchronous and device independent fashion. APIs and toolkits are also defined for this task. GLUT, Qt, GTK, MFC, DirectX, Motif, Tcl/Tk.
24 Graphics Rendering Pipeline Rendering: conversion from scene to image 3D Scene Render 2D Image Scene is represented as a model composed of primitives. Model is generated by a program or input by a user. Image is drawn on an output device: monitor, printer, memory, file, video frame. Device independence.
25 Typically rendering process is divided into steps called the graphics pipeline. Some steps are implemented by graphics hardware. Programmable graphics accelerator, GPU: programmable pipelines in graphics hardware

What is Tokenization in the Credit Card Payment Industry?
Security Matters
"Passwords are like underwear; you don't let people see it, you should change it very often, and you shouldn't share it with strangers," wrote Chris Pirillo. As I embark on my new journey as a content writer for a merchant services company, such data security thoughts are always at the from of my mind.
In the tech world, the more data gets passed around, the more opportunities there are for it to be stolen or misused. An increasingly popular approach for the protection of sensitive data is the use of a token (or alias) as a substitute for a real credit card number.
The need for such measures becomes more evident with every security breach. For example, between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15, 2013, 40 million credit and debit card numbers were stolen from Target. 70 million records that included names, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers of Target shoppers were compromised. Credit unions and community banks spent hundreds of millions of dollars reissuing tens of millions of credit cards.
What is Tokenization
In my journey into the world of moving money from one place to another, this process was one of the first key terms to regularly pop up. With Tokenization, financial and other sensitive records are transferred between parties in reordered strings of letters and numbers. These unique identification symbols, or tokens, retain all the essential information without compromising its security.
When the cardholder swipes their card at a merchant, the card and transaction data flow through the merchant acquirer to the cardholder's bank, which confirms that the cardholder is authorized to make the transaction. This structure was invented and is perpetuated by Visa and Mastercard, which serve as the information switches between the four parties.
An Overview of Tokenization & the Credit Card Industry with Akamai Chief Security Officer Andy Ellis
Inside the Process
Hypercomplexity in the computers leads to simplicity for businesses. Mathematical formulas and random number generators create characters that are of no value to a hacker. In this fashion, Tokenization reduces the amount of data a business needs to keep on hand. It has become a popular way for small and mid-sized businesses to bolster the security of credit card and e-commerce transactions. At the same time, it lowers the cost and complexity of compliance with industry standards and government regulations.
A payment card is used in a transaction and, once authorized, the cardholder data is sent to a centralized and highly secure server called a "vault." Next, a random unique number is generated and returned to the merchant's system. The token can be used in various business applications as a reliable substitute for the real card data.
Encryption and Best Practices
A secure cross-reference table is established to allow authorized lookup of the original value, using the token as the index. Encryption tools and secure key management complements this approach by protecting the original value within this environment. To anyone who doesn't have authorization to access the vault, the token value is totally meaningless. Random characters don't help a thief.
The tokenization system must be secured and validated using security best practices applicable to sensitive data protection. These include secure storage, audit, authentication and authorization. The tokenization system provides data processing applications with the authority and interfaces to request tokens, or detokenize back to sensitive data.
Tokenization Adds Value
Sensitive data can't be breached if it's not there in the first place. At a time when cardholder data loss is at an all-time high, tokenization is extremely valuable for businesses, including those who have previously passed their PCI DSS audits. Even merchants who have full encryption solutions are investigating how the addition of tokenization can benefit them.
"The benefits of tokenization far outweigh the barriers to adoption as exhibited by the monetary losses associated with security breaches at major retailers," according to Jay Weber at PaymentsLeader.com. "As new payment technologies are emerging to protect ... customer's personal financial information, take advantage of the opportunities presented and find a way to make them work for you."
Will Tokenization Revolutionize Data Security?

A product of the jazz age, cocktail parties took off internationally in the 1920s and have remained a firm feature of Hong Kong's social and business life ever since. These soirees allow hosts to offer hospitality to far larger numbers than a dinner party would allow; better yet, a few minutes' conversation politely disposes of individuals for whom a couple of hours at a dinner table would have been simply too much effort for too little reward.
Other than nuts, olives and other canapés handed round as blotting paper for the booze, little else needs to be offered by way of food. Some cheapskates eventually make a full supper out of the "small chow" in circulation, especially if – as happens in the cocktail party season – several such events are attended in the course of a single evening.
In the past, drinks offered were invariably spirits cut with mixers; whisky-soda, gin and tonic and brandy with ginger ale were the usual combinations. Until recent years, wine was seldom consumed, and anyway, spirits provided a quicker kick, which helped rapidly anaesthetise Hong Kong's repetitive, gossipy, small-pond conversational tedium.
Seemingly innocuous questions stereotypically asked at such gatherings – "How long have you lived in Hong Kong?", "What do you do?", "How long will you stay?", "Where do you live?" – allow rapid social filtering of new acquaintances into important/potentially useful/avoid-at-all-costs categories. For women, the noxious question "And what does your husband do?" automatically implied that the woman being interrogated had no professional life of her own. And if, perchance, she actually did, then that fact marked her out as an oddball to be avoided. If a young, attractive, otherwise unknown female admitted that she wasn't married, then that fact immediately labelled her as a potential predator, an adventuress on the make, in ardent search of other women's husbands.
For decades, Hong Kong's business life – particularly for Europeans – was largely conducted around the cocktail-party circuit. Unsurprisingly, these gatherings were a health trap to those with alcohol problems. One leading post-war tycoon, unfortunately also a severe diabetic, was frequently tanked up with booze at cocktail parties by unscrupulous business associates, with a view towards getting agreement for commercial deals which – when sober – this otherwise astute man might not have entertained.
Alcoholic overindulgence was an occupational risk that could be short-circuited by the shrewd. John Boyer, the no-nonsense HSBC deputy chairman in the late 1970s, once explained to me how he avoided the pitfalls of Hong Kong's near-nightly cocktail-party circuit.
"You didn't need to stay long at these things," he recalled. "And it certainly wasn't about me personally being there. People only wanted 'The Bank' to be 'seen' there for face reasons. So I used to walk in, be handed my drink, chat for a few minutes to my host and say hello to anyone else I might wish to acknowledge, and then head straight out the back door. Usually about 10 minutes spent at a party, end to end, was quite enough."
Boyer's secretary issued firm instructions to the host beforehand that her boss was to be given a glass of neat tonic or soda water on arrival, well-iced and camouflaged with slices of lemon to look like a gin and something.
"It was the only way to get through evening after evening of these events intact! At the very last cocktail party of the evening before heading home – if I felt like it – I might have asked for a real drink."
Hong Kong cocktail parties – ultimately – are all about work.

BBC Cymru Wales has announced Steve Austins as the new Editor of BBC Radio Wales.
Steve, 34, who is originally from Tredegar, has been leading Radio Wales as Acting Editor since last summer, during which time the station has been shortlisted for a number of awards including one of the radio industry's most prestigious awards – the Sony Radio Academy Awards, Station of the Year (one million plus listeners).
Steve joined BBC Wales in 1998 as a researcher for Radio Wales news, and was soon producing the station's flagship news shows Good Morning Wales and Good Evening Wales.
In 2003 he became Assistant Editor to previous Editors Julie Barton and Sali Collins before becoming BBC Wales's Marketing Manager for English Language Services.
Before joining the BBC, Steve started his broadcasting career as a news reporter for Red Dragon FM and as a presenter on Galaxy 101 and Surf 107.2 in Brighton.
"I'm thrilled to be given the opportunity to lead Wales's national English language station," said Steve. "I grew up in a home where BBC Radio Wales was part of our daily routine so I understand what the station means to its listeners. It's a very exciting challenge and I'm looking forward to it immensely."
Steve takes up the role at a strategically significant time for the station, with a brief to build on current success and target new listeners.
"BBC Radio Wales is the home of some of the nation's best known and most loved programmes and presenters, entertaining audiences throughout Wales," said BBC Cymru Wales Director Menna Richards.
"Steve's appointment comes at a challenging time for the media in Wales, but we have already seen that under Steve's leadership, strong foundations are being laid to take the station forward as we plan for the future."

RAD, +0.09% said Thursday its fiscal second-quarter loss totaled $222 million, or 27 cents a share, a larger hit than the loss of $69.6 million, or 10 cents a share, reported in the same quarter a year before. Analysts had expected a loss on average of 14 cents a share, according to a FactSet Research survey. Revenue for the fiscal second quarter of 2009 was $6.50 billion compared to $6.57 billion in the year-ago period. Rite Aid also cut its fiscal 2009 sales forecast to between $26.0 billion and $26.5 billion, with a projected loss of 56 cents to 67 cents a share -- wider than previously expected -- due partly to continued economic weakness. The company also said its former chief financial officer, John Standley, was returning to Rite Aid to serve as president and chief operating officer. Frank Vitrano, who worked with Standley at Pathmark Stores Inc., was named to serve as Rite Aid's chief financial officer.

More boutique B&Bs, a clearer link with the Yorkshire Wolds and better marketing of festivals could all help bring more visitors to Bridlington, a report has claimed.
The suggestions were made in the East Riding Tourism Accommodation Study 2016, which also said the town should look at more 'novel/unique experiences' such as kite surfing or watersports lessons.
The study said a large-scale hotel, such as the one being considered as part of the Yorkshire Marina project and the planned Premier Inn, was essential if Bridlington was to thrive as a report.
The report was prepared by AECOM and presented to East Riding of Yorkshire Council's Cabinet last week.
It said David Hockney's artwork, the Tour de Yorkshire and Hull's role as the UK City of Culture had helped to raise the profile of the county.
But it highlighted other areas which could be capitalised upon to bring more visitors to stay in Bridlington.
It said the town should 'encourage high quality restaurants-with-rooms and boutique-style guest houses'.
And the report urged Bridlington's hotels and guest houses to use the beauty of the Wolds as more of a selling point, as well as doing more to attract tourists outside the usual summer season.
"There are opportunities to strengthen the attractions, assets and activities sector to promote unique experiences and more out-of-season visits - walking trails, cycling trails, wildlife, heritage attractions - and to build upon the growing reputation of the festivals and events programme across the East Riding," it said.
"This will support accommodation providers, and there are significant opportunities that will need to be maximised following on from Hull's City of Culture status and legacy."
The study had been commissioned because the previous one had been carried out seven years ago and the challenges involved had changed hugely in that time.
Other recommedations included:
○ Encourage further refurbishment and upgrades to improve the quality of all types of accommodation.
○ Encourage investment in amenities associated with holiday parks, including more touring provision, improving children's play amenities and making the sites

Rangers, Flyers meet in possible playoff previewby Tal Pinchevsky
FLYERS (38-26-7) at RANGERS (40-29-4)
Last 10: Philadelphia 7-2-1; New York 7-3-0
Season series: The Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers will play what almost amounts to a postseason game when they meet for the final time this season. The home team has won the previous three, with the Flyers winning 2-1 on Oct. 24 and 4-2 on March 1 at Wells Fargo Center and the Rangers winning 4-1 at Madison Square Garden on Jan. 12.
Big story: The atmosphere should be electric with the Rangers leading the Flyers by a point for second place in the Metropolitan Division and Philadelphia holding two games in hand. Under the new playoff format, it is looking increasingly likely that this will be a preview of a first-round series in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Team Scope:
Flyers: Philadelphia skated Tuesday after losing 3-2 to the Los Angeles Kings on Monday. The regulation loss, coupled with New York's 4-3 overtime win against the Phoenix Coyotes, allowed the Rangers to jump into second place in the division. The loss ended Philadelphia's five-game winning streak, although the Flyers continue to play well against many of the NHL's toughest teams.
Their recent streak included two victories against the division-leading Pittsburgh Penguins and a 4-1 win Saturday against the St. Louis Blues, who at that time owned the NHL's best record.
A victory will put the Flyers back in second place in the division.
"It's extremely exciting being part of a playoff push. It's been a while for myself. With the Flyers missing the playoffs last year I think everybody was fed up with having a long summer," said goaltender Steve Mason, who is expected to start Wednesday and has won his past four games. "You have to keep pushing forward. [Wednesday is] going to be a great test for us."
Rangers: New York earned a much-needed day off Tuesday after coming back from 2-0 and 3-2 to defeat Phoenix in OT Monday. The day off is especially important for top-six forwards Derek Stepan and Martin St. Louis. They missed practice Monday with the flu but played in the win against the Coyotes.
As the game went on, however, it became apparent neither was healthy enough to compete at 100 percent. After deciding to limit their minutes against Phoenix, coach Alain Vigneault blamed himself for allowing them to play when they probably weren't ready.
"I made a mistake tonight. I shouldn't have played Step and Marty," Vigneault said Monday. "They didn't look good but they both said they wanted to play. At the end of the day, I've got to be better and I've got to take that out of their hands."
Forward Derek Dorsett missed two days with the flu before returning to the lineup Monday. Based on that precedent, St. Louis and Stepan should be ready for the Flyers.
Who's hot: Flyers forward Scott Hartnell has three goals and six points during a four-game point streak. Wing Wayne Simmonds has five goals in his past five games. Captain Claude Giroux has been on fire since December, collecting 20 goals and 56 points in his past 44 games. … Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh has two goals and five points in a four-game point streak. Center Derick Brassard has four goals in his past four games.
Injury report: Philadelphia is without forward Steve Downie (upper body). … New York said Tuesday forward Chris Kreider won't play, though they did not disclose any details. TSN reported Kreider is out with a hand injury and could miss up to a month. Defenseman John Moore (concussion) is out; Stepan and St. Louis are questionable.

The Thousand-and-Second Tale of Scheherazade by Edgar Allen Poe

I read a collection of Poe's works and the most I can say is that the man was either a genius or insane (probably a cross of the two). I did enjoy his stories though.ReplyDelete
:) probably both is what I think too.ReplyDelete
I didn't know he wrote humerous stuff. I love his freaky stuff. I'll have to look for this.ReplyDelete
This sounds great, I am both a Poe fan and an Arabian Nights fan, but didn't know he had written this!ReplyDelete
I did not even know he wrote funny stories-thanks for letting us know of this story-ReplyDelete
I am inviting you to join in on Indonesian short story week, if you can
Dana and Sam This story surprised me too. It isnt at all what I would expect from Poe.ReplyDelete
Mel U You've inspired me to read an Indonesian short story. Expect a comment on your blog about it.
Here from Short Stories on Wednesday! I have to say, I never read Poe's horror, let alone humour. But this sounds very interesting, and I'm definitely giving this a try! Thanks :)ReplyDelete
Raven *Shudders* I read it once and can't pick it up again. It was wonderful but so scary for me. I am just a big chicken!ReplyDelete
I'm a big chicken too Lan. That's why I normally don't go anywhere near horror.ReplyDelete
Priya Thanks for stopping by.
