This year is shaping up to be very interesting for the European coal market.
With carbon prices doubling since the last Nice conference in May 2017 to their highest in years, could Europe's generators accelerate their closure programmes? Or was the cold snap in March which sent gas prices soaring, a warning shot, reminding utilities and governments alike that coal needs to remain in the generating mix?
At the same time, Europe's coal buying patterns are shifting, both in terms of qualities and origins. Colombian coal is continuing to find its way into Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean, in part attracted by strong prices in the Pacific Basin. Additionally, cheaper U.S. origins are becoming an increasingly significant part of the blend on the continent.
But could the days of highly-discounted U.S. coals be numbered as Turkey looks to raise its threshold for sulphur, opening up a new and growing market for shippers on the other side of the pond?
The 17th Annual European Coal Outlook Conference by IHS Markit will flesh out these and many other issues in this engaging forum for discussion and analysis.
Join the industry in May to network, learn and analyze the key topics and business trends shaping the global coal market.
Here's Who Should Attend
Port of Amsterdam Cocktail Party
Educational Program
For the 17th consecutive year, the European Coal Outlook Conference, an IHS Markit event, will be held in Nice, France. Acknowledged as the foremost professional and business development event for the European coal export markets, this year's event features a full program of informed discussion and debate centering around the industry's most impactful topics, coupled with several opportunities for interaction and relationship building with your current and future customers.
Interested consultants, service/equipment suppliers and producers have an opportunity to make their brand and message stand out from the crowd by increasing their visibility and profile with a sponsorship of one of a carefully selected group of business development vehicles at the Conference.

Who's up for a little challenge? Who amongst you loves robots? Any fun lovers in this crowd?
In the past we've participated in drawing challenges like Inktober because we love the idea of consistently challenging ourselves. You don't need to plan to draw (that sounds like a chore), but it's much easier to fight the forces of complacency and procrastination when you have a ready-to-go drawing theme already picked out for you. In this case, robots.
Consider joining in the March of Robots, a sketch challenge hosted on Instagram and created by Dacosta (aka @chocolatesoop), a self-taught artist in Vancouver whose entire goal with this project is to 1) celebrate all manner of robots and 2) have some fun. This challenge values getting drawing done more than drawing every day. Make your own commitment to yourself about what you'll do (even one robot per week works) and keep that commitment to yourself.
But, please don't keep the drawings to yourself. Post them on Instagram with the suggested hashtags #marchofrobots and #marchofrobots2017 to join in. While you're at it, we'd love you to tag drawings made with our app #autodesksketchbook so we can enjoy them, too.
Win a Wacom Intuos Device
Dacosta is giving away four Wacom Intuous Art Creative Pen and Touch Tablets in a drawing at the end of March, and it's pretty easy to be considered. Just post at least four new drawings during the month, and you could win something to help you draw even better. Now that definitely sounds like fun. See you in the March of Robots!

Little Miss Sunshine is all grown up and sporting a new bob!
Abigail Breslin, who rose to fame as Olive Hoover in the 2006 comedy-drama, attended the Zac Posen show at New York Fashion Week on Sunday, and we hardly recognized the 18-year-old with her short, wavy hair.
It's a stark contrast to the long, layered style she rocked nearly two weeks ago.
And just to make you feel old, here's Abigail at her very first fashion week back in 2004:
Time freakin' flies.

The divine, dazzling diamond is the cornerstone to the cutting-edge Coltrane contemporary four-light mini pendant in aged brass from Hudson Valley.More Details >
Garnished in aged brass trim, Hudson Valley's Coltrane contemporary four-light pendant light piece perfectly perpetuates the diamond's enigmatic allure. Split into two symmetrical shapes, the top half is designed of textured black metal, while its counterpart is clear acrylic. A plated band runs the perimeter of all four sides. The Coltrane is the finishing flair to any ultra-modern, chic motif.

Deer-Resistant Rudbeckia Perennials for Sale | Garden Goods Direct
With their sunny, cheerful flowers and year-round gifts to wildlife — including seeds for birds and nectar for butterflies — deer-resistant rudbeckia perennials are a mainstay for gardens across the U.S. If you're looking to add this favorite flower to your landscape, consider our stunning selection of deer-resistant rudbeckia perennials for sale.
Types of Deer-Resistant Rudbeckia Perennials
As a gardener, you have a vast variety of deer-resistant rudbeckia perennials to pick for your garden. One of the most popular among gardeners is the award-winning deer-resistant rudbeckia goldsturm. This plant is not only tolerant to deer, but also to droughts and heat waves.
Unique features you'll notice among varieties of deer-resistant rudbeckia perennials include their preferred growing zones, sizes and tolerances. Their blossoms also differ in minor ways, as well, though all add a vibrant touch of yellow to your garden.
Why Plant Deer-Resistant Rudbeckia Perennials?
As a hardy and attractive perennial, many gardeners plant deer-resistant rudbeckia perennials for both form and function. Add them to naturalized, prairie and meadow areas, or incorporate them into your perennial border or cottage garden. Planting these perennials in masses creates a striking look, too.
Deer-resistant rudbeckia perennials, like the goldstrum variety, also provide a bounty of blooms from the middle of summer into the beginning of fall, which ensure your garden is always bursting with color. The minimal maintenance requirements of deer-resistant rudbeckia perennials are another bonus, as many are tolerant of drought and dry or clay soil.
Tips for Choosing the Right Variety of Deer-Resistant Rudbeckia Perennials
Whenever you begin adding flowers, shrubs or trees to your landscape, it's essential to choose the right variety for your home. Our nursery experts suggest considering the following factors before buying deer-resistant rudbeckia perennials:
- Growing zone
- Sun and soil preferences
- Mature height and width
- Tolerances
For many gardeners, the deer-resistant rudbeckia goldsturm perennial is often a versatile choice.
How to Care for Deer-Resistant Rudbeckia Perennials
Care for deer-resistant rudbeckia perennials begins with proper planting. Choose an area, such as in your cottage garden, with full sun and well-drained soil. This perennial often prefers average to moist soil. If you're planting several deer-resistant rudbeckia perennials, make sure to space them 18 to 24 inches apart.
For watering, it's recommended to follow the practice of infrequent and deep watering, as superficial and frequent watering leads to a less-than-stellar root system. Our nursery team suggests counting to five when watering your deer-resistant rudbeckia perennialsn, which come in a one-gallon container.

Fishing with Harry
Watching a heron fish requires several key operating essentials: A zoom (unless your subject is closer than mine!), a tree or fence to lean against to steady that zoom (if you don't have a tripod, which I don't), and more patience than I ever thought I would acquire in life. Ever.
Because lots of the action looks like this.
Unless it looks like this.
Of course, then he might start to walk -- this could mean one of several things. He spots a fish ahead; even if he doesn't, this fishing hole isn't working; or he's just bored and ready to move on.
I like watching him stalk -- slow, graceful, deliberate.
Then he stops and looks like this.
Yup! This is the place!
On this day, he is doing his best to rid the pond of its koi.
And he was pretty lucky! Or maybe not!
Another day, another fish!
If he's lucky he comes up with something. If not, he might go back.
But this time he caught a big one.
(None of us Ditchies knew there were fish that big in the pond!)
And it appears, he may have lost it. At least he was having trouble handling it.
Maybe not, but quite a struggle.
He wandered over to the reeds with his capture.
I can't help but wonder what's in there -- he was very preoccupied with something out of view.
Any ideas, bird fans?
So, what about a little snack, nothing so large and bony. How about...
...a dragonfly.
Check his mouth.
I think he may have lost this one, too.
He sure was having trouble! Those dragonfly wings must tickle!
But somehow, I don't think Harry's going to starve.
Our boy is pretty resourceful!
Sometimes, it's just a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Love fishing with Harry - great pics and I love your dialogue. The birds in my area usually don't get close enough to grab a shot. Other times in parking lots or yards a bird will stand and let me inch closer for 1 blurry pic.

That was really fun. You had me laughing right out loud. I never would have guessed that Herons eat dragonflies. I feel kind of bad about that. I guess him mom never told him never to touch or kill one because they're 'special' like mine did.

Isn't it amazing how they can remain in one position forever? They don't even blink! But still so much fun to watch them, especially when they finally catch something. I once watched a great blue catching a crayfish, that was quite interesting as well.

Fascinating! Some people in our neighborhood put in fountains and pools and then stocked the pools with expensive fish. Herons came and dined in style! Now they have a net over it all.

How fun to watch Harry stalk and nail his prey! LOL
But, I must admit, as somebody who has struggled to have the koi live over a winter in a man-made (as the Beverly Hillybillies said) 'cement pond,' I sort of cringe seeing him dive after a koi. LOL
(love the way you capture the water ripples with your camera - gorgeous!)
Enjoy your mother's day weekend!

You know I love this series! It always makes me so happy when one of these birds actually gets a good-sized fish. I'm sure they're happy, too -- especially if they can swallow it. Harry's just delightful, and it's fun to see him going about his herony life, right there in front of you.
When I was down at the wildlife refuge this weekend, I was surprised (and a little distressed) to see they had drained some of the ponds. I'm sure there's a good reason -- those are managed lands, after all, and from time to time water gets shunted around so they can do pond maintenance, or concentrate water during a drought -- but it still was disappointing to not have the birds to photograph. In the end, of course, I photographed plants instead -- there's always something to see!

ALTUSA is a leader in the clay roof tile industry. For nearly 40 years, we have provided some of the best options for homeowners on the market. Our roof tiles are such high quality that they have become one of the most popular tiles in the United States.
From our modern installations , we are at disposition to offer variety and quality of our products in profile and colors. Our complete and new collections guarantee success to any projects, enabling for an excellent outcome.
Altusa made in Honduras, through Puerto Cortes there are many logistical advantages when communicating with the main point in Miami, Central, South America and also the Caribbean, with weekly departures to all these destinations, facilitating shipments between Honduras and the US.
A long trip from the origins in the Mediterranean, since the beginning of the 20th century, present in all the main markets of the US and the Caribbean for almost four decades. Today our group is excited to offer this new collection which combines tradition of many generations with a touch of the land where we are located in the heart of the Mayan world.
Our company Ceramica Verea USA took over distribution of Altusa Clay roof tile products earlier last year with the intention of continuing to import the Altusa's roof tile profile into the North American markets of the US and the Caribbean.
The Altusa from Venezuela was a very successful tile and was a market leader from 1985 to 2006.
Unfortunately, thanks to Venezuela's political situation and export controls, manufacturing was moved to Honduras in 2006. The Honduran Altusa tile was manufactured from 2006 to 2016 and was discontinued due to quality related manufacturing issues. Earlier this year we acquired the rights to and molds for Altusa Spanish S tile and we are beginning to manufacture this at our factory in Galicia, Spain.
The Venezuelan and Honduran Altusa products are discontinued and no longer have valid Miami Dade NOA's and we do not recommend attempting to make repairs using secondhand or off-brand products. We have already begun testing our Altusa from Spain and expect to have approvals for this within the next 3-4 months. In the meantime, our Verea clay roof tile products are a great option as they are the most affordable priced grade 1 clay tile and offer unrivaled color permanence.

Maggie Gilman is a dear friend of mine from my first two years at Goshen College. She's a lovely woman who has wonderful thoughts and does magnificent work. Enjoy!
Studying immigration issues, and different struggles people are facing here in south Texas
In the short week we've been here in San Antonio, I have read, seen, and heard about many different overwhelming problems here within the US, along the borderlands, and internationally. Each issue seems to be connected somehow, in some way, whether it has to do with economics, societal (negative) norms, politics, language, race, sexuality, or gender. Looking just at the challenges within the educational system here in San Antonio, I've begun to see not only the reality of higher dropout rates, but also the astronomically higher rates of teen pregnancy. San Antonio's teen parent population is 75% higher than the national average, which can unfortunately contribute to the dropout rate.
This week I've had the privilege of shadowing two different social workers, one who works in a high school with all students and one who travels to different middle schools and high schools in her district with the Teen Parent Program. While spending time with these kids and their school officials, I've observed very positive and concerning behaviors. There is some recognition that these teen parents are just kids trapped in an overwhelming and somewhat impossible situation beyond their control, and some of the teen parents (or teen parents-to-be) do have "attitude issues" and can resist the help being offered. However, there are still many adults who react very judgmentally, looking only at the surface and having very little compassion for these kids, ignoring the fact that it is us who have failed to provide America's children with the tools to make informed decisions about sex and sexual experiences. Though it may be easier to do this blaming of teens for "stupidly" getting sexually involved, I believe that blame should also be placed on us as voting citizens, on our governmental policies, and on US public school system.
The result of the "Abstinence Only" approach to sexual education is higher rates of STI's among increasingly younger teens, higher rates of teen pregnancy, and an emotional void in sexual relations. Yet we cannot expect kids to figure out healthy sexual boundaries, birth control options, and STI prevention on their own, especially in light of the things they are exposed to everyday in American culture. Unfortunately, we sometimes label these sexually active teens in damaging ways that affect our ability to treat them with respect, dignity, and love. We need to acknowledge that, when we refuse to simply talk about these realities, we abandon our younger generation in their struggle to grow holistically and figure out positive decision-making methods.
As a Christian, I believe that it is realistic and necessary to provide adequate, comprehensive sex education to help protect our communities and children, and to give them the tools to make better, healthy decisions in the future. We must realize that part of loving our neighbors, and acting as Christ, is giving the information and tools to our kids to have healthy, whole lives, and this includes the fact that our children do have sexual desires, will be curious about sexual experiences, and will eventually experiment. But we must also have a space for acknowledging and emotionally supporting those who do not wait, to keep encouraging them to make safe choices and build up their capacity to create positive boundaries for themselves.
If we continue to deny schools comprehensive sex education, our children will keep having children, our dropout rates will continue to climb, and our need for excesses of social services will keep rising. We will also keep marginalizing those kids who have even fewer resources and less access to education than the general white middle/upper class America. Overall, I see this as a challenge. As Christians in search of becoming loving Christ-like people, we must see the need and work to fill it.

Perhaps. But it's evident that Bush should, too -- or be impeached.
While it was CIA Director George Tenet's job to keep Bush from deliberately misleading the nation (if such a thing were possible), it was even more Bush's job to not deliberately mislead the nation. And from all the information we have available, the administration itself concocted a scheme to deliberate mislead the nation, and pushed hard to get the CIA's "stamp of approval" on Bush's words to maintain "plausible deniability". Even now, the President cynically compounds his crime by "forgiving" Tenet.
Police who deliberately or incompetently fail to stop crime are responsible for their inaction. But that doesn't absolve criminals from their crimes in the first place, now does it?
The CIA didn't put the bogus information into the State Of The Union speech. They didn't feed the President false intelligence. Rather, they failed to stop a scheme to mislead us. That's quite a different matter, and while still a grave matter, not one for which Tenet should take the fall -- at least, not alone.
The bottom line is that we have a Chief Executive who deliberately misled the American People into a war that cost the lives of hundreds of coalition troops and thousands of Iraqi troops and civilians. If ever there were an impeachable offense, that's it. The Press, the Congress and the American People have a civic and/or Constitutional duty to hold him accountable.
Looks like the adminstration is playing its part admirably, asserting that Bush has "complete confidence" in George Tenet and the CIA.
Of course he does. They gave him a free pass to deliberately mislead the nation. What more could you ask for in an intelligence agency?
How very generous of Dubya...
What a whirlwind 48 hours it's been. First, we learn that Bush knew that claims regarding Iraq seeking to purchase nuclear weapons material from Africa were unsupported, and evidence for it was likely bogus. We learn that the CIA informed the White House that the evidence was bad, and that it doubted British evidence on the subject, too.
Then, Bush avoids the issue by saying the CIA cleared his statements. He doesn't acknowledge or deny that the information conveyed by his speech was known to be unsupported; he doesn't deny attempting to mislead the American People. Rather, he shifts the blame, saying the CIA said he could say what he said. Condoleeza Rice adds to the situation by claiming the information was "factually correct".
Finally, George Tenet issues a long, carefully-worded statement in which he takes blame for not stopping the White House from including the information it included. While the claim that the British had reported that Iraq attempted to procure uranium from Africa was "technically true" and "factually correct", it was highly misleading.
So here's where we are, now: The White House was evidently told the information was not credible. Wanting to include the information anyway, it concocts the idea of saying the British have published the information. Moreover, it does so in a highly misleading (and technically, factually untrue) manner by saying the "British have learned that Iraq attempted to buy uranium from Africa..."
Which is exactly where we were before Tenet's statement.
From what we know now, it's evident that the White House misled the nation deliberately. They knowingly created a false impression with a highly misleading statement regarding bogus information about the threat our nation faced. And that false impression helped to propel the nation into a needless war -- exactly as the White House intended.
What's worse, the excuses they've used since the war were demonstrated to be out-and-out lies by Tenet's statement.
Will our press follow up on this story, or will they continue to print articles saying (incorrectly) that the CIA has now taken the blame for the false information? Time will tell...
Friday, July 11, 2003
Looks like the new tack for defense is offense: the Bush administration is now attempting to deflect criticism directly onto CIA Director George Tenet:
"The CIA cleared the speech. The CIA cleared the speech in its entirety," [National Security Advisor Condoleeza] Rice said, en route to Uganda.
"If the CIA -- the director of central intelligence -- had said, 'Take this out of the speech,' it would have been gone," Rice said.
Still, note what's not being said in the above: they're not denying they knew the statement was not backed up by evidence. Instead, they're simply saying the CIA let the speech go forward. It remains to be seen whether the CIA, and specifically Tenet, will allow this to stand. Word is that much of the CIA's analyses were ignored in the runup to the Iraq War. But as things stand, this is a distinction without a difference: Rice's comments, above, are not actually in conflict with the damning reports we've been seeing. Which makes this "he did it, too!" defense seem all the more desperate.
Interesting times in which we live, huh?
Word is screaming through the blogosphere and the real world that the media has finally called Bush on his "Yellowcake" lie. This, per CBS news:
Bush Knew Iraq Info Was False
WASHINGTON, July 10, 2003
Senior administration officials tell CBS News the President's mistaken claim that Iraq tried to buy uranium from Africa was included in his State of the Union address -- despite objections from the CIA.
Before the speech was delivered, the portions dealing with Iraq's weapons of mass destruction were checked with the CIA for accuracy, reports CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin.
CIA officials warned members of the President's National Security Council staff the intelligence was not good enough to make the flat statement Iraq tried to buy uranium from Africa.
The White House officials responded that a paper issued by the British government contained the unequivocal assertion: "Iraq has ... sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." As long as the statement was attributed to British Intelligence, the White House officials argued, it would be factually accurate. The CIA officials dropped their objections and that's how it was delivered.
"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa," Mr. Bush said.
The statement was technically correct, since it accurately reflected the British paper. But the bottom line is the White House knowingly included in a presidential address information its own CIA had explicitly warned might not be true.
One might be left with the impression from the above that the White House could fall back on the idea that it was just trusting British intelligence to which the CIA had no access. Unfortunately, the Associated Press has this:
U.S. intelligence officials had doubts about the quality of a British intelligence report alleging Iraq was seeking uranium from Africa in the weeks just before and after President Bush made the allegation in his State of the Union address in January, senior U.S. officials said Thursday.
The officials said those doubts were expressed to British officials and across several agencies of the federal government before Bush gave his speech.
CBS, ABC and CNN reported that CIA officials who saw a draft of Bush's speech even questioned whether his statement was too strong given the quality of the British intelligence but the remark was left in provided it was attributed to the British.
In other words, Bush was explicitly told not only that the CIA's information was not credible, but also that the British intel was likely not credible, either. Yet, Bush chose to state the accusation unequivocally. In essence, the CIA said, "go ahead and say the British think this, but don't blame us when it comes back to haunt you".
Folks, this is a very, very serious situation. We now have confirmation that the President of the United States lied to the American People regarding the danger posed by Iraq.
It remains to be seen how this will play out, but I for one think things have just gotten critical for the administration. There are a lot more lies to be profiled, after all...
Thursday, July 10, 2003
From a story on CNN currently:
On Capitol Hill and on the campaign trail, Democrats are stepping up their criticism of President Bush on Iraq, sensing what they believe to be a vulnerability in the administration's rationale for the war that ousted Saddam Hussein from power.
. . .
Republicans say the criticism springs from a Democratic desire to make some headway in the upcoming 2004 election.
"The Democrats have been playing politics," said Ed Gillespie, chairman-elect of the Republican National Committee.
First of all, the lead-in for the CNN story is insulting. The legitimate question is not why Democrats are criticizing Bush; rather, it's "why aren't the Republicans criticizing him, too?"
Second, let's be clear about this. We're not talking about something blatantly, stupidly partisan like attempting to impeach a sitting president because he got some in the Oval Office, then lied about it to protect his reputation. We're talking about nothing less than the very real possibility that the President of the United States willfully misled Congress and the American People into war -- a war in which thousands of civilians and hundreds of troops died; a war which cost us tremendously in political capital around the world; a war in which we are still bogged down, and probably will be for the forseeable future.
The civic and Constitutional duty of all Americans, and especially all lawmakers, to get to the bottom of the issue is crystal clear.
Gillespie's sentiment is laughably ironic, under the circumstances, and hopefully self-refuting for most people. But if not, here it is spelled out: it is the effort to defend Bush regardless of what he does, not the effort to see justice done and duty to Country upheld, that is "playing politics", Mr. Gillespie. Just as you overreached during the Clinton years, so too your blind right-wing ideology and desire for power are leading you to over-reach now. Your own obvious partisanship is leading to your irrelevancy.
The right thing would be for RNC'ers to cut Bush loose. But they think they see more political advantage in supporting a man potentially guilty of a high crime in office, because he's their best shot at power. And it's obvious.
So, I invite Ed Gillespie and his fellow Bush apologists to continue their comments -- it only hurts their credibility. Democrats aren't cowed any more by hypocritical whines of "partisanship" from Gillespie's ilk, and the more they defend the indefensible, the worse it will be for them and theirs.
Keep it up, bud; if trends continue, soon you won't be able to win elections for "town dog catcher".
Wednesday, July 09, 2003
The previous story was evidently based upon bad information. It seems that Capital Hill Blue's source was a con artist (Doug Thompson, the site's proprietor, has posted a retraction). Although I think the current credible evidence (as reported in the mainstream media) is plenty damning for the President, I retract my prior post, and apologize to any and all who bought the story because I brought it to their attention. It's an important lesson regarding accuracy of sources and healthy skepticism...

This story on Today's Capital Hill Blue leaves no remaining doubt that Bush knowingly misled the country into war. He knew the evidence was bogus, but included it anyway in his case for war (delivered explicitly in his State of the Union address):
An intelligence consultant who was present at two White House briefings where the uranium report was discussed confirmed that the President was told the intelligence was questionable and that his national security advisors urged him not to include the claim in his State of the Union address.
"The report had already been discredited," said Terrance J. Wilkinson, a CIA advisor present at two White House briefings. "This point was clearly made when the President was in the room during at least two of the briefings."
Bush's response was anger, Wilkinson said.
"He said that if the current operatives working for the CIA couldn't prove the story was true, then the agency had better find some who could," Wilkinson said. "He said he knew the story was true and so would the world after American troops secured the country."
People, that's all she wrote. This administration, from top to bottom, knew the evidence on Iraqi WMD was bogus, and explicitly used it anyway to convince Congress and the American People that immediate war was necessary.
Using any reasonable standard, President Bush should be impeached immediately, and his administration removed from office. Any in the GOP who, at this point, put partisanship over their duty to country should likewise be removed from office.
UPDATE: As there has been considerable controversy over the reliability of Capital Hill Blue's reporting (in this and other matters), I'm going to modify my comments above with a "we'll wait and see" approach. Others have rightly been skeptical of this particular source (unfortunately, I was unaware, at the time I originally posted regarding this issue, of CHB's storied past).
That is not to say this story can be called "inaccurate" or "fabricated" at this point. Doug Thompson, proprietor of the CHB site, has strongly defended his story; moreover, much of CHB's reporting has a history of acceptable accuracy and relying upon mainstream sources. Furthermore, he named his source.
The report has been forwarded on to major news media for confirmation. If there's anything to it, I would imagine we'll find out soon enough.
And, of course, the accuracy or inaccuracy of this story should not be construed to impact, in any way, other material which has been revealed in recent days (including the administration's furious backpedaling on the issue of the African uranium story). It is easy to see Bush doing exactly as Mr. Thompson's alleged source claimed; in fact, other reporting by intelligence officials have said much the same thing: that Bush was absolutely determined to go to war, and his administration "adjusted" the facts to fit the case.
Time will tell. One thing's for sure, though: the people who were against the Iraq war have been proven right in spectacular fashion.

I haven't studied abroad. But I know people who have studied abroad in different country such as Finland, the Netherlands, Germany and Korea. They have worked hard to reach their targits. My opinion, studing abroad is exciting experience and new emotions. You can get new friends, a cultural experience and get up your level foreign language.
Some people are afraid of live in a foreign country. There are other people, the other language and culture. I think you should be open for world and the world will be your oyster. Pepole are supporting in most cases.
Once I have lived in a dormitory in Finland. There were many students from different countries. I tried to speak with them. I had bad english. We went to supermarkets to buy food and cooked national meals each your. I cooked the borsch. We playes, chated and laughed. It was unforgettable.

Hi everyone, I studied abroad for just two weeks in 2011. It was an interesting experience in Malta but actually I don't learn a lot.
I think that choosing to live in a host family will teach you more about the country culture and lifestyle also you can improve your English faster.

Hi, i am sanjeev from India. i have been visited many times in uk for my business purpose. i felt very excited to meet some new people,new places and also new culture there. i went many places in uk like Bourne Mouth,Birmingham,London,Brighton.there is no pollution in uk.if you want to learn good English there. first of all you have to speak and speak only if you are speaking wrongly,don't bother about it.because after some times you will feel,you are speaking with correction and time to time your English fluency will be much much better and end of the day you will really feel. now you are a perfect speaker for English Language.its my personal openion for learning a new language.

Hello everyone, I have never studied abroad before and it is good experiment to learn English. I come here for 10 weeks. My 6 weeks left and I think, I have progress in English, because I live in a host family and studying with the students from another country. So, living in a host family it is better to live in the resident. With the host family I can talk,ask all things in English. But sometimes host families are not talkative. My first family were nice, but they don`t talk a lot and house wasn`t clear. Now i am living in my third host family and they very good people and they love purity.
I am studying in Cavendish school of English in Bournemouth. It is very good school with very good teachers. My main problem in English is grammar. It is hard to understand ,but teachers are always helping me and now it is my turn to continue my studies.

Hello, my name is Gaia, i will talk about my experience in England. I think that Bournemouth is a very interesting place, has a lot of green parks. This is my first year in Bournemouth, but last year i went to Brighton. I stayed there for three weeks, this year i will stay here for one month.
I love my host family, they are very friendly and both cook very well! I think that stay in a host family is better than stay with your friends of your same country,because it is the best way to improve your English faster. I love the school because we do a lot of projects together, it`s very funny. Every day during the morning we go to visit different places and from 13:30 to 17:35 we go to lessons. In Italy lessons are quite good but it`s not enough to talk well the language. i Love my leaders too, because they are very friendly and if you need help they are ready to help you. At the start you will have to do a test to know your level, and than they will choose a class good for your level. I hope i will came back to Bournemouth next year. .

Hello, everyone. I have not studied abroad yet, but I really want to go to other countries for study. If I have a chance to study abroad, I would like to live with fellow students in a dormitory. Because we are of similar age, we can have many common interest to talk, and I also can learn many things about the culture of their country.
You can make friends with foreigners and your countrymen. They can help you overcome these negative feelings.
islam_mohamed replied on Egypt Permalink
I have never studied abroad but I wish I could.
I would choose to live with a host family because i can learn more from them about the culture of the country and by them i involved with his lives .
people when they travel for the the first time may have difficulties but i'm sure if they truly want to success they will concentrate about the pros (advantages) only.

Comedian and writer Trevor Noah recently sat down with New York Times reporter John Eligon for a special one-on-one discussion on race and identity in America. The new live series "Get with the Times" kicked off at the Caldron Auditorium on the campus of Northwestern University to a packed house. Nearly 90 campuses were invited to watch the live stream conversation in which the host of the The Daily Show was very candid about his upbringing in South Africa and African-American culture.
Reading an excerpt of his New York Times bestseller "Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood," he talks about his early school days.
"I started pre-school when I was three, primary school when I was five. In my class, we had all kinds of kids—Black kids, White kids, Indian kids and colored kids. Most of the White kids were pretty well off, every child of color wasn't but because of scholarships we all sat at the same table. We wore the same blue blazers, the same grey slacks and skirts. We all had the same books, the same teachers—there was no racial separation. Every clique was racially mixed," he read.
He discussed feeling in between the adversity of being a "colored" man as opposed to the identity of a "Black" man in his native country. Because of his ability to learn and speak several African languages, it allowed him to break the ice. "It wasn't common to find a White or colored person who spoke African languages. During apartheid White people were taught those languages were beneath them. The fact that I did speak African languages immediately endeared me with the Black kids. They asked, 'How come you speak these languages? You're not Black.' I answered because I'm Black like you."
On race in America, the comedian says the biggest thing to do is to talk candidly about race. "It's not easy, but I do know that's one of the most powerful tools to have. When I say talk about it—I'm speaking to predominately White people, it's a frightening conversation to have but that conversation is race. That conversation is understanding the very fiber of the country you're living in. Those conversations need to be had with your friends and family."
He discussed the influence of American Black culture and the complexities of understanding why there is still anguish among generational disconnection to Black people's ancestral roots. His topics also ranged from the current presidential administration to empowering the next generation's stance on being vocal through the power of solid journalism.
Many students quietly listened to the exchange between Northwestern alum, Eligon, and Noah as some heads nodded in agreement and others twitched nervously in their seats. Taking questions from students remotely from other colleges—the first installment of "Get with The Times"– was a successful hour of straight forward dialogue.

Garden in the Himalayas
For more details please visit our website http://gardeninthehimalayas.org
Purna began work on this community garden in his home village of Tanchok in 2012. It is a long-term project with the aim of conserving and cultivating native plants and improving the diet of the villagers. Child malnutrition is, sadly, still a problem in upland Nepal; rather than one-off food aid, a more nutritious and varied diet of locally grown produce will really make a difference. The Garden aims to work with local schools to make this a sustainable and educational venture.
The target is to help both villagers and the environment by encouraging sound practices of inter-cropping and organic cultivation while conserving native plants that are uniquely adapted to the mountain conditions. The ground has been cleared and the first vegetables, flowers and medicinal herbs have been planted. We have planted tea and installed a beehive - the local honey is excellent.
The wild plants we collected in 2014 are doing well - about 80% survived the transition. Cyathea and lobelia and wild roses are looking showy and we enjoyed our first homegrown banana, We mixed English seeds with the local vegetables and herbs already established and now have beetroot, cucumber and courgettes. Avocados, kiwi fruits and grapes from Kathmandu will add a bit of variety to the village diet, along with lots of berries and forest fruits.
The most exciting news is that construction of our house 'Mahakaruna' is completed. It's designed as a family home and is available to rent when we're not in Tanchok. There is an open-plan kitchen and living area with a cosy fireplace and two big bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom, plus a family bathroom and a smaller bedroom. While the house has a traditional look with a slate roof, stone walls, wooden furniture and local textiles, solar-powered hot water, electricity, a back-up generator makes it a really comfortable base for intrepid travellers.
In 2014 volunteers from Holland, the USA and Germany all visited and thoroughly enjoyed their time here, walking, resting in the peace and quiet and observing the abundant birdlife while not hard at work.
There is still a great deal of work to be done and we'd like to invite volunteers to spend a few days helping out in Tanchok at any time of the year. Tanchok is a beautiful village with friendly people located off the mass tourist trail at an altitude of 1700m, an hour and a half from the historic city of Pokhara. It has glorious views of the Annapurna range and there are many trekking possibilities in the area.
Environmentalists, gardeners, cultivators and handymen are particularly welcome - but anyone can lend a hand in different ways and experience everyday life in the village -something you will never get from a tourist brochure. Charitable donations are always very gratefully received if you cannot get to Nepal.

8515. NCC PROPOSED CLOSURE OF WARSOP FIRE STATION – Cllr. Allin reported that a new fire station is to be built at Ollerton in approximately 18 months then Warsop and Edwinstowe stations will close. The main concern is the response time of 10 minutes can not be achieved from Ollerton to Warsop. This would also apply to a unit coming from Mansfield to Warsop. Cllr. Crawford asked if Cllr. Allin could find out what the savings will be and the cost of the new build. Cllr. Allin will also invite the Chair of the fire authority to the next Parish Council meeting. A representative of Warsop fire team told members that Warsop deals with an average of 340 call outs per year and has 19 retained fire fighters. Members agreed that a campaign needs to be started with a leaflet drop to every household and businesses in the Parish, together with a petition. Tania suggested the February issue of the Warsop News would be the best resource to alert everyone in the Parish, although members thought that this wouldn't be soon enough, she told them that with the Christmas break and by the time more information is obtained, the February edition would be out at the end of January. Cllr. Kerr suggested that they still get on with the leaflets and a petition and it was agreed that the Parish Council would pay for the printing, Councillors and the fire fighters offered to deliver them. The CHAD reporter will organise a photo-shoot outside the fire station on Friday at 10am with a feature in next week's CHAD.
8516. TOWN HALL – With the Webcentre now being closed by 31st December, Carol and her staff will no longer be able to help with the daily running of the building. It was agreed to run it with volunteers until funding can be sourced to pay staff. Cllr. Kerr updated members with regard to the expression of interest for an application form to apply for the Lotteries Reaching Communities pot which has been rejected.
