The spreadsheet discussed in Part 2 is very flexible and provides very good insight into how your actual cash flow compares to the plan on the many tables and charts provided. However, there is more that can be done to help you, especially if you have an at-home business or want to keep a long-term record of your income and expenses. If you want a more robust and full-featured application as an alternative to the spreadsheet, FinanceBase is a very good option and is discussed in this part.
This is Part 3 of a four-part post.
- Part 1: Why – The reasons for managing your expenses and why it is difficult to do so are given.
- Part 2: Spreadsheet – An explanation of how to use the Cash Flow spreadsheet is provided. You may download it by clicking on Download Spreadsheet.
- Part 3: FinanceBase – Only so much can be done with a spreadsheet. A more robust and full-featured application as an alternative to the spreadsheet is discussed.
- Part 4: Design – A summary of the design of some of the features of the spreadsheet and the posts is presented.
September 5, 2018 Update
The links to the FinanceBase products have been changed because the website was redone a few years ago to move all of the products to posts.
FinanceBase Overview For Cash Flow
You can view all of the features of FinanceBase by clicking on this link to FinanceBase-Finances Overview. The product discussed here is FinanceBase-Finances.
The spreadsheet of Part 2, which is provided free of charge, was inspired by the features included in FinanceBase which was developed a few years ago to keep track of expenses, accounts and cash flow involved in personal or small business finances. Download and try FinanceBase as a Demo for 31 days. If it suits your needs, order a License for $30.00.
The specific features of FinanceBase that relate to Cash Flow, Income and Expenses are as follows:
1) Within-Month Cash Flow by using the Transactions window to record Income and Expenses and assigning them to Categories and Accounts. This is not provided by the spreadsheet of Part 2.
2) Transaction Cash Flow is shown on a separate window from Transactions and is updated each time a transaction is changed. This is similar to what the spreadsheet of Part 2 provides but is more extensive, for example, you can select which Categories to show.
3) Monthly Plan vs Actual Cash Flow is done in the Cash Flow Planning window by using a spreadsheet-like area for setting the planned income and expenses for a year, by month. Charts are also provided. The actuals as entered in the Transactions window (or via the download feature discussed below) can be compared to the plan. This is equivalent to what the spreadsheet of Part 2 provides but is more extensive.
4) Cash Flow Actual is also a separate window but it is not updated immediately. It shows only the actual income and expenses for a year, up to the last recorded Transaction plus the change to Accounts. Categories and Accounts can be selected and the year or specific dates can be set. There are monthly and daily charts as well as a detail listing by day or month. The spreadsheet does not provide this capability.
5) Year to Year Lifetime Cash Flow is provided by including FinanceBase-Lifetime Finances that takes your present income and expenses and projects them from now to up to 40 years after your retirement. It shows how your assets, income and expenses will change for whatever inflation and interest rates you set and takes into account income taxes, registered deposits, pensions, mandatory retirement payouts and much more. The cost of both Finances and Lifetime Finances is $50.00. This is not provided by the spreadsheet of Part 2.
The description that follows is taken from the User Manual that is available when the application is downloaded. It is also provided by a context-sensitive Help.
Each screenshot shown below is explained in detail in the manual. This brief overview is only intended to show what is available. Depending on your screen size, the screenshots may be too small to see. You can view them in a larger size by using the "contextual menu" to open a new Window with the screenshot. Hover over the screenshot and right-click if you are using Windows or control-click if you are using a Mac.
Transactions are used to capture detail on expenditures and income by assigning them to Categories. These categories are then used throughout the application, for example, to perform a Cash Flow analysis and determine taxes.
The Transaction table can be thought of as a ledger for recording all financial items of interest and assigning them to Categories, Jobs and Accounts.
When the Transactions menu item is selected from the Finances menu, the Finances-List window opens and will show all records, unless a default search has been set. The records found will not be sorted unless a default Sort has been set.
Each record is shown on one line, divided into four areas as shown in the screenshot of a Transaction-List window. You can preload transactions for a month using a menu item with utility and major expenses as well as income. Because each transaction can be assigned to an account, you can see the "within-month" cash flow and you can take action to ensure that there is always enough money or delay expenses until there is enough.
New Transactions can be entered and then changed at any time by using the Transactions-Input window which is shown in the screenshot below:
Downloading Transactions
Using receipts to enter transactions can often be a time-consuming effort. For those receipts that were applied to an account (such as a charge card, or a chequing account), and there is internet access to a statement of the account, this time can be significantly reduced. By downloading the data from the account to a Transaction Download window, each receipt can be quickly saved as a transaction record, by a simple drag-and-drop of one item to a new Transaction record or saving many items to new Transaction records, rather than by typing.
Data from another application can also be loaded into this application by using the Transactions Download window. What is required is an output from the other application that places the data for each transaction on a single line. For example, a Tab-delimited or comma separated file or copied data would be appropriate. Even Quicken-line output can be used. Once the data is available, follow the instructions for using a file given below or the sections on Import and Export Header buttons.
When the Transactions Download window opens, five buttons, three drop-down menus and a text area are visible. If a file was saved above, click on the Use File button and find and then open the file. If data was copied, click on the Use Clipboard button. In either case, a number of items become visible and the Text area is filled with the data from the file or clipboard.
For data from another application that is formatted properly as indicated in the Import Button area below, click on the Import button instead of using the Use File or Use Clipboard buttons.
When a format is selected, the window changes and the data in the text area is formatted into arrays. If the data does not match or an error occurs, try another format. There is an AMEX format file in the Examples folder when the application is downloaded. Other formats are easy to define using the Make Format window that is described in the manual. I am prepared to provide you with a format file if you send an example of the copied date to the support email address as found on the Contact page (under the More menu at the top of the page). This page has two parts:
- – Drag and Drop Description to a Transaction Input Record and
- – Save to New Transaction Records
Either can be used to create Transaction records from the downloaded data. The Drag and Drop area in the left-half of the window looks like the following:
The Save to New Transaction Records is in the right-half of the window and looks like the following screenshot.
Any lines in the formatted array that have a Ready in the Status column can be saved to new Transaction records. Any new Transaction records are shown in a Transactions-List window that opens automatically. The Ready Status is changed to Saved.
Transaction Cash Flow
This window provides a real-time cash flow for the current year as Transaction records are entered and changed. It graphically shows which months have more income than expenses, or vice versa and if the cumulative cash flow up to the latest month is positive or negative. Previous years can also be shown.
Cash Flow Planning
Setting of a plan for a year and comparing it to actual transactions is done in the Cash Flow Planning window. The spreadsheet-like area is on the Arrays Page and it contains the Page buttons, the Plan array with a row of buttons and variable, the Totals array, the Categories array and a number of buttons and drop-down menus and the Extras array, also with a number of buttons. The complete page is shown below. Because it is hard to see, screenshots of each area are given later.
A plan can be saved for later use and changes to create different versions of a plan are easy to do. Multiple windows can be opened to compare different versions of the plan or different years. A listing by month that compares the plan to actuals is provided. All data can be exported and all pages can be printed.
How to use this window is fully explained in the user manual and is very similar to using the Excel spreadsheet that is described in Part 2. Some screenshots are included here to provide an overview of what is available.
Plan Area
Categories Area
Extras Area
Cash Flow Graphs Page
The Cash Flow graphs are similar to what is available on the spreadsheet of Part 2 but the monthly amounts are charted on a separate chart from the Cumulative amounts. The Actuals can be added or removed with the click of button. These charts can also be modified to show selected Groups, Subtypes, Names and Categories for detail analysis.
Cash Flow Actual
This window shows only the actual income and expenses for a year, up to the last recorded Transaction plus the change to accounts. Categories and Accounts can be selected and the year or specific dates can be set. There are monthly and daily charts as well as a detail listing by day or month.
Assets and liabilities are kept in Account records. Normal accounts are those kept in a banking institution (e.g. chequing, savings), a credit institution (e.g. charge cards) or a brokerage institution (e.g. shares). However, anything can be entered that is to be tracked and managed. For example, property values can be entered.
There are a number of windows and menu items that are available to manage Accounts. The following describes only a few of them.
The Accounts-List window permits the display of these records based on user-defined search criteria.
The Accounts-Input window can be used to enter a new asset or liability and then changed at any time.
Selecting Accounts Summary from the Finances menu opens a window that shows the latest amount for the records in either all active Accounts, those that are used with transactions or those actually used in a transaction. This window is updated automatically each time an Account or Transaction changes.
The Accounts Analysis window provides a method of using all of the Accounts records to analyze and graph how the value of the accounts have changed over time. They can be analyzed by three of the account fields (Liquidity, Owner, and Type), total worth and due date.

Learn to use Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy with clients struggling with addiction by watching the originator of the method in an actual therapy session. Albert Ellis demonstrates his signature style with a difficult client; using rationality, strong language, and forceful directives, he is remarkably effective in just one session.
Orville would like to reduce his marijuana, alcohol and hallucinogen dependency but doesn't know how. Ellis immediately focuses in on Orville's low frustration tolerance and "self-downing" as the irrational beliefs that sustain his drug and alcohol addictions. Ellis debunks Orville's claim that if he doesn't always behave well, he is a bad person. He clarifies that it is certainly highly preferable to behave well, but that we are all fallible human beings who screw up sometimes. Orville's distractibility and flights into tangential stories challenge Ellis to keep Orville on task. You'll be impressed to see how Ellis remains focused on the issue at hand, pushing Orville to grapple with beliefs that are tough to change and addictive behaviours that are difficult to conquer.
By watching this video, you'll be able to:
It is certainly a treat to see one of the most bold and influential psychotherapists of our generation in an actual therapy session. Watch Albert Ellis demonstrate his signature style: confrontative, headstrong and steadfastly rational…and remarkably effective in just one session.
Learn to use Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy by watching the originator of the method in a therapy session with Roseanne, whose husband committed suicide in front of her and her baby daughter ten years ago. Ellis immediately points out how Roseanne uses the irrational beliefs of "condemnation" and "demandingness" to keep upsetting herself about the horrible event. Using REBT techniques, he helps Roseanne separate herself from her actions, reframing her belief that "I did a rotten thing/that makes me a bad person" to "I did a rotten thing/that means I made a mistake, but I am not a bad person." You'll be impressed at how quickly Ellis's reframes take root in Roseanne, as she repeats Ellis's teachings in her own words and from her own heart.
By watching this video, you'll be able to:
Albert Ellis, MA, PhD (September 27, 1913 – July 24, 2007) was an American clinical psychologist who in 1955 developed Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). He is generally considered to be one of the originators of the cognitive revolutionary paradigm shift in psychotherapy and the founder of cognitive-behavioural therapies.
Ellis published his first book on REBT, How to Live with a Neurotic, in 1957. Two years later he organized the Institute for Rational Living, where he held workshops to teach his principles to other therapists. The Art and Science of Love(1960), was his first really successful book, and later he has published 54 books and over 600 articles on REBT, sex and marriage. Many of his books are still amongst Amazon bestsellers (How to Stubbornly Refuse to Make Yourself Miserable About Anything - Yes, Anything! (1988); How to Control Your Anger Before It Controls You (1998); How to Make Yourself Happy and Remarkably Less Disturbed (1999); Overcoming Destructive Beliefs: New Directions for Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (2001) etc.)
A winner of the Outstanding Clinician Award (American Psychological Association 1996), Lifetime Achievement Award (Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies 2005), Lifetime Distinguished Service Award (American Counseling Association 2006) and many others, Ellis prior to his death was described as the "greatest living psychologist" by Psychology Today.
"I love my work and work at my loving," Ellis said. "That is the secret of my unusually happy state."

I love the way it turned out. You may remember the skull components I made from this post. I used howlite and coral beads (both dyed or "enhanced" as we say in the biz.) I also added a splash of green by tossing in some vintage glass leaves.
The clasp was one that I had in my stash. Lovely vintage glass and sterling silver. It was waiting for the perfect project. I got it years ago from my dear friend Jess from Jess Imports. (The best source for unique and fancy clasps in my humble opinion. Join their email list to be notified when new stuff goes up online. They sell out FAST!)
When I tackle a multi-strand piece, I don't think too far ahead in the future. I just take it step-by-step as it can be a bit daunting. I usually don't pick the clasp until the piece is strung, but in this case I used the clasp as my primary source of inspiration along with the skulls.
I began by "auditioning" my beads like I did in this Bead Soup piece. Then I started stringing. I cut a 20" piece of SoftFlex and got to work. (My favorite stringing material. Not a paid endorsement, just deep love from using it since it came out.)
Since I knew I wanted a multi-strand piece, and I had five finished skulls, I had the rough idea that it would end up being a 5-strand necklace. I didn't pre plan much else. I strung the first strand with the red skull and went from there.
As I was stringing along, I realized that the piece need more pops of color so I wire wrapped the vintage glass leaves and strung them next to each skull. The 4mm round beads bump up next to them and help them to hang nicely.
I checked the length of this first strand and added the length of the clasp and crimp closures and measured it against where I wanted it to sit around my neck. (First securing the ends of the strand by closing them with clear tape.) That gave me a rough idea of how long to make the remaining strands.
I kept stringing, cutting a new piece of SoftFlex and making each strand one at a time. I planned the layout as I went along, adding a large bead here, a stack of coral beads there. Placing the skull pendants spaced apart so they wouldn't knock against each other. I just let it evolve.
To make the strands sit nicely on the single loop of the clasp, I tapered each with two 4mm beads. I crimped one strand at a time to the clasp. I sized each strand as I went along, checking how it laid against the previous one.
I made slight adjustments by taking off the two 4mm beads and adding another bead or two to make the necklace slightly graduated. I tried the necklace on each time I added a strand to make sure the fit was right. (Think of this part like fitting a custom garment. You wouldn't have a fancy dress made without trying it on several times to make sure the fit is perfect. Same thing with a fancy necklace. It's a couture moment.)
To make sure that the closure was as pretty as it could be, I used crimp covers. If you haven't heard of them, they are 4mm metal beads with a split down one side. They close over crimp beads after they have been attached and hide them. I use the top indentation in my crimping pliers to gently (gently!) close them around the crimp.
I also used wire guards around the loop of the clasp. They add strength and have the added bonus of really creating a finished look. The SoftFlex strings right through them and is mostly hidden from view.
And there she is. I took her out for a test wear and the fit and feel are perfect. Viva la vida! A perfect necklace for Dia de los Muertos!

The Catholic Weekly
HOLLAND — When Ryer Appeldoorn was a middle school student at Corpus Christi School, he wanted to learn more about the outdoors.
And he wanted to learn it outdoors.
At the time, he had only one teacher who, one day each year, used the retention pond outside the school for exploration. The students would dip a bottle into water and examine the water … inside.
"I wanted some sort of place to spend an extended amount of time having lessons outside," said Appeldoorn, now 19 and a fine arts student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Thus began what has become known as the "pond project" at the Holland school.
About nine years ago Appeldoorn and his parents, Lori and Dave, invited a few teachers to their home for dinner and a presentation about his idea for the school to have an outside learning space.
"The vision for an elaborate outdoor learning facility that Ryer shared that night truly inspired me," said Abby Giroux, a middle school math and science teacher at the school and pond project coordinator. "It took a few years to present the idea to various school boards and authorities. Once we got the green light to proceed with plans we had to work to prioritize phases of the project and decide how to get started."
"I came up with the idea, but my parents backed me on it," Appeldoorn said. "Originally, I was just looking for an actual center outdoors, like a separate classroom."
He put muscle behind his idea, too. He helped with the initial cleanup, then helped put some birdhouses by the pond.
Approximately six years ago, Giroux said, a committee was formed to begin the process of building an observation deck at the retention pond. The idea was to create a platform so students could get to the water to make observations and collect water samples.
Scott Bush, a local Boy Scout and Corpus Christi student, volunteered to take the deck design and construction on as his Eagle Scout Project. He and his father, John, designed and built the deck. The decking material was donated by a school family.
Once the observation deck was done, stepping stones for a path around the pond were crafted by a local Girl Scout Troop. An area resident cleared the land and installed a path and some new trees around the pond.
The students then planned and installed trail markers. These feature information about ecology and the numerous plants and animals that can be found around the pond.
"One of my teaching partners," said Giroux, "also worked with students to build and install birdhouses and wood duck boxes around the pond."
Eagle Scout Justin Reamer designed and built benches near the pond and Eagle Scout Alec Shrode installed a storage shed for observation and sampling supplies as well as some maintenance tools.
Giroux said she and the students worked together recently to build and maintain a small flower garden near the pond.
Giroux has had other interest in the pond.
"I was completing an ecology class for my master's degree at the same time as the deck construction," she said, "so I got permission from my instructor to write an ecology unit centered around pond exploration for the sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade science classes at Corpus Christi. As part of that unit, students began working on story books and field guides about our pond.
"In the years since, students have completed various ecology research and art projects. We also have had a number of ecology speakers and authors come to the school to enhance our ecology studies."
A new tradition at Corpus Christi, Science Day, is a direct result of the project. According to Giroux, it's generally in the spring and "includes sharing of science projects and pond learning with families, local community members and/or our closest neighboring lakeshore Catholic school, St Mary School in Spring Lake."
In addition, "throughout the school year, (pre-kindergarten through eighth grade) students visit the pond to observe, reflect, study and clean," she said. "We have identified and photographed numerous plants and animals living at our pond. Most notably, we are able to observe muskrats living in our pond year-round and a pair of Canada geese and mallard ducks that return each year to nest."
The project isn't finished either. She said the future may hold raised-bed gardens for school community and classroom use.
"I would also like to get a statue of St. Francis and/or a creation mural installed near the pond," said Giroux. "Ultimately, there is still the dream of a small building near the pond for onsite water analysis, etc."
Regardless of what is pursued in the future, she said, the "pond project" has been and continues to be a wonderful addition to the school.
"We are so blessed to have such a beautiful space to interact with God's creation," Giroux said.†

Ambulance Services Benevolent Fund
is planning for the future
"The aim of the ASBF is to be more in line with the support currently offered to members of the Fire, Police and Military charities" explained Paul Leopold, ASBF Chairman.
He said: "The next steps for the ASBF is to prepare for the next 25 years and build upon the base support and funding currently provided and available."
Paul went on to confirm: "Currently income to provide support for the work of the Charity is donated through salary schemes like Give As You Earn, specific fund raising events, general donations, and recently legacies. We are also indebted to the generous support of Ambulance service magazines and journals and the support from ambulance suppliers such as KL Kerry London who during 2012 promised to donate a percentage of every confirmed order to the ASBF and we were delighted to have received a generous cheque from them."
He continued: "To undertake our aims and objectives there our important issues to be addressed from current methods of operation to a more professional and business approach. The intension is for the ASBF to be implementing its vision for the future early this year with an announcement about developments and 'Caring for the Carers' programmes."
Finally Paul said: "Meanwhile fund raising must continue and to help with this we need the support of the Ambulance Services and their staff NOW. We are actively asking people to become ASBF Champions and promote awareness about the charity to their colleagues and to encourage them to undertake the challenges of fund raising for us. We are always pleased to hear from members of the ambulance services because with your involvement we will together make all the difference"!

Global security software company, Trend Micro is delighted to welcome two international athletes on board to help celebrate this year's impending London 2012 Olympic Games – Greg Searle and Dani King
Marlow, UK - 14 February, 2012: Global security software company, Trend Micro is delighted to welcome two international athletes on board to help celebrate this year's impending London 2012 Olympic Games – Greg Searle and Dani King.
After a sensational comeback in 2009, 1992 Olympic Champion rower Greg Searle is back and going for gold, while one of Great Britain's most exciting road and track cycling talents, World Team Pursuit Champion, Dani King, is raring to hit the track. For both athletes, technology has become an important part of their lives, sharing their training schedule with fans via social media and keeping in touch with friends and family while on the move. It has become more important than ever for them to protect themselves online, knowing that they can enjoy their 'digital lives' safely and securely.
Greg, who is widely regarded as one of Britain's very best rowers of the last 20 years said: "I'm really excited to be working with Trend Micro and sharing my journey over the coming months. As an athlete it's an absolute privilege to be in with a chance to compete at London 2012 and I've got my sights set on winning another Olympic gold medal; 20 years on from when I won Gold in Barcelona as a 20 year old!"
The synergies between Trend Micro and these fantastic athletes are clear; a passion and 100% focus on speed, innovation and performance to stay ahead of the competition. For Dani and Greg, this has enabled them to lead the way in their respective sports and for Trend Micro, to be consistently rated number one in internet security.
Dani, one of Great Britain's most exciting road and track cycling talents added: "Support like this really does help me to become the best I can be, and hopefully win that gold medal in London. It's really exciting because obviously I use technology everyday; I'm always on my phone, tweeting and blogging, just to keep in contact with friends and family."

I haven't tried drawing in colored pencil for many years. Feels odd not needing to mix my colors on a palette beforehand, and it takes a different kind of patience to build the color up slowly so the pencil tracks don't show. This is more fun than I expected.

A while back I fitted a spin on filter to my car. I thought that these were supposed to retain the oil and therefore reduce the time for the oil pressure to rise when starting from cold. It still took about 5 seconds though. Today I was doing an oil change, the car had been unused for a week and I drained it cold and noticed that when I undid the filter nothing came out. Is this because I am using the wrong filters (do they have valves in them)? or is it that I have the filter mounted at the wrong angle. I am attaching a photo of where it is and the type of filter.
I can rotate the filter body so that it is at about 45 degrees below horizontal but this makes it trickier to remove.
Any advice I would be most greatful

Many filters do have valves but even so its only a flap that reduces the oil drain flow and cant be relied on to stop the casing emptying itself over time.
So the idea with this conversion is to mount the filter as vertical as possible ie hanging down and then it can retain more oil. It does mean that it ends up close to the chassis rail and is more difficult to change but the benefit is definitely quicker oil supply to the bearings on start up. Some people even buy shorter filters (theres quite a selection that will fit) to improve access and if youre not doing many miles per year but still change it regardless this could be an option......

Thanks for the reply, that makes sense. I have looked at the filters that I have and they do have the flap type of seal but as the car is used infrequently the oil must be able to get past this. I have now moved the assembly round as far as it will go and still being able to clear the chassis and brake pipes (see photo) but would be able to get it round further with a shorter filter. Do you have any idea where I would be able to get hold of the short filters or what car they are intended for?

I believe the smallest that have been used are for a Reliant Robin and in the WIX catalogue the important characteristics match up but with a height of only 2.5".
However if you look at the installation you now have (I assume you can just unscrew the filter as it is without rotating the assembly) it will remain pretty full and there'll be minimal pressure delay on start up.....

Hi. I have fitted the shorter filter, which allows a steeper angle (will try find the info if you want), though I don't think it made any noticeable difference and was twice the price of my usual one.
Even if the filter holds some oil, it is still the oil galleries that drain down.
You could remove the dizzy king lead and crank over to prime the system, before starting.
Cheers, Dave

why get woe full about drain back its only lasted 50 years without a problem
just dont rev the nuts off as it fires just let idle and there you go
spin on's are much less hassle to change than the canister originals as if you get the canister new seal in without chopping it , youre lucky.

When I start mine when the weather is cold I don't pull the choke out straight away so as to allow pressure to build up. In warmer weather I do as Pete says and don't set off at full pelt.

By Oliver Browne
Africa is a continent that offers plenty to the intrepid traveller, including age-old histories, diverse cultures, and breathtaking landscapes. Arguably, however, its most fascinating offering is its exceptional and varied wildlife. That's why the idea of an African safari appeals to so many travellers across the globe. For many, the idea of an African safari seems like a pipe dream due to expenses involved. However, one does not necessarily have to be rich to partake in the vacation of a lifetime. With some planning and financial maturity, your African safari dream can very much become a reality. Here are 4 tips to help you save money when organizing your African safari.
Tip #1 – Plan Your Flights in Advance
Your African safari will be a tremendous journey and something you won't forget. However, such a trip requires concrete planning. If you are coming from far overseas, you will want to sort out your airfare well in advance. For an international flight to Africa, the best time to buy plane tickets to Africa is about 199 days from your departure date. February is the cheapest month to travel to Africa, with Tuesday and Wednesday being the cheapest days to fly. Utilizing a travel rewards card can also help you save a significant sum if used to purchase your flights and other travel expenses. Travel rewards cards are tailored to complement the journeys of a frequent traveller, offering rewards points and travel-centric benefits. On a long-distance flight, a substantial number of points can be gained by using such a card.
Tip #2 – Contemplate Avoiding Peak Season
Prior to choosing the country and area you wish to safari in, you should do your research on a number of African safari spots. Like most tourist hot spots, safari destinations often have peak seasons and low seasons. If you are flexible on the time of year you travel, taking a safari in a low season can save you a substantial amount of money in accommodation, tours, and booking flights. In many scenarios, the low season can be just as beautiful, and less crowded than peak season. However, when researching safari destinations look into why their low season is that time. Sometimes this can coincide with worse weather or less of an opportunity to see Africa's famous animals. Prior to booking a low season safari do your research.
Tip #3 – Choose a Less Visited Safari Destination
When it comes to safaris, places such as the Serengeti in Tanzania and Maasai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya are household names. They are the ideal spots for classic or luxury safari experiences. However, these well-known destinations can also have the highest prices and the most tourist traffic. If you are travelling on a budget, there are a number of lesser known but still amazing safari experiences that can save you money. This includes the Okavango Delta in Botswana and the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania. Choosing a less busy safari region can not only net you substantial savings but can also help you avoid crowds of tourists.
Tip #4 – Look for Package Deals
Afro Tourism is constantly updating its package deals on a range of different African holidays, safaris included. Not only can a package deal save you a substantial amount in itself, but AfroTourism also regularly holds major discounts. If you are contemplating a safari vacation, it would be worth keeping tabs on the package deals and special offers available.
In conclusion, with the right planning, the vacation of your dreams can become a reality. When planning your African safari, make sure to keep these tips in mind and see how AfroTourism can help you achieve your perfect vacation.

I still remember my previous family trip was in year 2005 to Hong Kong together with my late grandfather.
Anyway congratulation to Tiara Dryden as you might receive mystery gift. I will contact you later. This is my first ever real gift-away. For Jeff Chuah, don't be dissapointed as I will do it again next time.

Many Eagles fans celebrated Sunday's NFC Championship win by getting drunk, including Charles Barkley.
The ex-NBA star, who is from Philadelphia, paused his celebration to appear in an interview for NBC 10 with reporter Aaron Baskerville.
After a while it appeared Barkley was disappointed the interview took him away from his partying.
"I'm tired of you now, I want to go finish getting drunk," Barkley said at the end of the interview.
Barkley was at the Eagles game Sunday when Philadelphia won its second consecutive playoff game as underdogs to advance to Super Bowl LI. The 38-7 win over the Vikings guaranteed the Eagles a matchup with the Patriots in a rematch of Super Bowl XXXIX.
"I'm happy for the city of Philadelphia," Barkely told NBC 10. "I've been here since 1984 and the Sixers have been great a couple of times, the Phillies have won a World Championship, but this is an Eagles city."
Nick Foles, who has taken over for starting quarterback Carson Wentz since a Week 14 injury, led the Eagles Sunday with 352 passing yards and three touchdowns.
"Gotta give a lot of love to Nick Foles because once Carson [Wentz] got hurt, there's not a single person on television, which is my job. I get paid to talk, there's not a single person who picked the Eagles to go to the Super Bowl," Barkley said.
Barkley was born in Alabama and went college there at Auburn. He made the move to Philadelphia in 1984 after he was drafted by the 76ers.
The former power forward would play for the 76ers from 1984-1992 before he was traded to the Phoenix Suns.
The 54-year-old will be cheering on the Eagles once again in two weeks during Super Bowl LII on Feb. 4.

Most of you will know I have a pretty good appetite and I like to eat a bit of everything. So my food plan for Taste of Perth 2015 was to make my dollars stretch by finding dishes which were less than 10 crowns (1 crown = 1 dollar).
If you love your food, put on your rain coat or use Taste of Perth's free poncho (frees the hands up for more food) and brave it out in the rain at Taste of Perth this weekend. There's a dinner session tonight and lunch session tomorrow left, get your Taste of Perth tickets here before it wraps up for another year.
These are my Taste of Perth 2015 top cheap eats, hover over the images for details…
Thanks to Electrolux, I also got to try some of Taste of Perth 2015 icon dishes from Perth's hottest restaurants and drink to my heart content with car transfers provided yesterday.
If you're planning to splurge a little, Nobu's icon dish is well worth a try. This 9+ Wagyu Carpaccio with quail egg, aji amarillo aioli & soy-salt dish ($32) is absolutely amazing, everything just melts in your mouth…
I also enjoyed a glass of Charles-Heidsieck Brut NV at The Heritage Champagne Bar using 24 of the 30 crowns I was gifted…
Every time I go to a food festival, I have this irresistable urge to create myself a "show bag" so I can continue to enjoy the festival at home 🙂 So after eating and drinking my way through Taste of Perth over three hours, I purchased a meal kit from Turban Chopsticks ($35 for five products), two cupcakes from sweetly baked ($9) which we had for breakfast today and a ciabatta loaf ($3) & croissant ($3) from New Norcia Bakery.
Just like last year I love that Taste of Perth gives you a really good taste of Perth in the one space. My to eat list has never been longer, first up will be Asado and Mary Street Larder!!
Check out my bro's Taste of Perth preview post for more must eats.
Disclaimer: foodie cravings was invited to Taste of Perth as a guest of Electrolux. Admission, car transfers, 30 crowns and tastings from Nobu, El Publico & Lalla Rookhr were provided. All other purchases were my own. See foodie cravings disclosure policy for further details.

WITH A SEEMINGLY endless glut of celebrity chefs and cooking programmes, people these days are paying more attention to their kitchens.
Once a room built around the preparation of food, it now is a focal point of many households – often incorporated into an open-plan downstairs area.
To find out more about what's popular in the world of kitchens, TheJournal.ie spoke to Derval Phelan, a designer with Nolan Kitchens.
Are people not too busy to bother cooking anything these days?
I think the last ten years has seen the kitchen become more of the central hub of the house in that it is very much a social area now. People very much invest in kitchens. That's what we would find ourselves anyway.
Before, the kitchen was a small room at the back of the house. You didn't socialise there. Now it is a social room. People have big islands where they can sit around and so I think people are investing more money and time into creating the space.
Ok, well, what sorts of things are people spending their money on then?
One of the biggest trends at the moment is In-frame kitchens. Which is solid wood painted with the door set into the frame. It is quite an old way of making kitchens and it has become very fashionable again over the last five years. People have gone for a really contemporary take on it.
The colours would be very muted, quite neutral colours – like sort of light greys – would be a very popular at the moment.
So, to get down to brass tacks, how much could a person expect to pay out for all of this?
Depending on what they go for, the average kitchen with ourselves would be between €8,000 and €10,000. That would be for a normal standard kitchen. Our In-frame kitchens would be from about €15,000. That would include a stone worktop as well.
The price would be for the kitchen and the worktop itself. Appliances would depend on brand and the model within the brand. An oven could cost you anywhere between €500 and up to €2,000.
So a pack of appliences could range between around €1,200 up to anything like €15,000 completely depending on the brand that the customer goes for. An average kitchen with a standard set of appliances would set you back €10,000 to €12,000.

Would someone not just as easily go to IKEA and save a bit of cash?
I don't really have an opinion as such, but the difference between them and us is that we fully assemble the kitchens and take full responsibility for the project all the way through to it being finished.
In IKEA you are picking it out yourself, designing it yourself and then having somebody else fit it. There could be differences in the quailty of the product for that reason. Because you have a specialist assembling the unit rather than assembling it at home from a flat pack there could be quite a big difference in quality – although that depends obviously on who is going to put it together.
What would be some of the stranger things you've seen people do?
People would do unusual things, although these would tend to be more things like colours. There is never anything too drastic. It would often be with appliances, very unusual looking extractor hoods. There was a trend for a while of chandelier-type extractor hoods. It isn't very popular any more but it was for a while.
Generally though, we would guide people to keep things quite neutral and functional.
Derval Phelan's top tips on refitting your kitchen
- Kitchens are more of a social hub than they once were.
- Keep colours neutral and functional to ensure longevity.
- A kitchen specialist will offer assistance through the process of having the kitchen fitted.
- Expect to pay out between €8,000 to €15,000 for a fully fitted kitchen.
- Avoid trends and fashions when it comes to kitchen design.

Olam secures US$525 million in sustainability KPI-linked loan
11 Sep 2019 --- Leading global agri-business, Olam International Ltd and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Olam Treasury Pte. Ltd. (OTPL), have secured a revolving credit facility aggregating US$525 million linked to meeting sustainability Key Performance Indicators (KPI). Olam has identified specific KPIs that are aligned with the three purpose outcomes of the company's sustainability strategy. They are prosperous farmers and food systems, thriving communities, and the regeneration of the living world.
The facility consists of three tranches – a one-year revolving credit facility (RCF) of US$315 million, a two-year RCF of US$105 million and a three-year RCF of US$105 million.
According to Olam, the interest margin on the facility is linked with the achievement of the KPI improvement targets. The KPIs will be tracked and reported by Olam's Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability team while Ernst & Young will independently assess the achievement scores by performing agreed upon procedures that have been approved by the banks.
"Sustainability has always been at the heart of Olam's business. This facility, following last year's US$500 million sustainability-linked loan, is another demonstration of how we are embedding sustainability into all aspects of our business and financing strategy," says Olam's Group Chief Operating Officer, A. Shekhar. "In turn, this will enable us to tackle the many challenges facing our sector and fulfill our purpose to re-imagine global agriculture and food systems."
"We will continue to explore further opportunities in the green and sustainability financing space."
Olam has appointed three banks - ANZ, BNS and Rabobank as senior mandated lead arrangers and six banks - Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentina, S.A., DBS Bank Ltd., Santander, Barclays Bank, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank as mandated lead arrangers. Rabobank and HSBC have been appointed as the sustainability coordinator and facility agent respectively.
Proceeds from the facility will be applied towards the refinancing of existing loans of Olam and its subsidiaries.

|Basic Facts
|Stadtwerke Düsseldorf AG
|December 2012 to January 2016
|Project Location:
|Hafen Düsseldorf, Germany
|Main services:
|• Quality assurance for fire protection
• Plant engineering fire protection
• Explosion protection
|Involved regulations/standards:
|German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health
Initial situation and requirements
Block "Fortuna" – or Block "F" for short – exhibits several superlative features. One exceptional feature of the 500-million-euro complex is the electrical power of more than 600 MW that it supplies – the highest electrical output ever generated by a CCPP. The district heating capacity of about 300 MW also
exceeds all previous quantities produced by cogeneration. Its location near the center of the city permits the power plant to supply district heating to Düsseldorf's residents, businesses and the second largest industrial region of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Because the district heating supplied to the network
consumes no additional fuel, it has the same legal statute as renewable energies. Currently the world's most advanced bridging technology, it will also permit future use of fuel from renewably produced biogas – at a utilization of up to 85%.
At the same time, the unit has achieved over 61% net electrical efficiency. Already during its first year of operation, the plant reduced CO2 emissions by 600,000 tons, thereby making a significant contribution to climate protection. In 2025, CO2 emissions will have been reduced by more than 1,000,000 tons.
Solutions, results
The "Fortuna" power plant block went into operation on schedule at the end of January 2016. Düsseldorf municipal utilities and Siemens placed their trust in the professional services of TÜV Rheinland. Along with numerous federal statutory regulations that apply throughout Germany, regulations which can vary from one German federal state to another always need to be observed as well.
Benefits for the client
• Reduced technical risk
• On-site inspection conducted during construction, eliminating delays to project progress and completion
• Consistent and thorough application of high standards through inspection
|With an efficiency rate of over 61 % power generation, the plant has set a new world record.

are in some sense absolute concepts. When we use rights, we must use duty, too. It is impossible to understand correlation concepts if we use only one of them."
One participant said that while he agreed that the term human duties is probably appropriate in today's world for people's obligations to one another, the present generation also has responsibilities to protect the rights of future generations.
Wiesel noted, "It is good that intelligent people disagree and discuss matters. That may enlighten us all. There are different interpretations of responsibility. I think the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was created before this period of selfishness, has a different purpose. My view is that the term human rights today has a certain connotation in history that would involve responsibility as well."
Van Dijk said that he would include in a mission statement—if something had to be included—the term "solidarity" rather than "responsibility," because "responsibility is, for me, as a lawyer, the other side of the coin. If there is a right, there is also a responsibility toward the owner of the right, and there is a responsibility on the part of those who claim their rights. Otherwise, it is impossible to exercise a right and it would be impossible to indicate that each right has its limitations. All international treaties on human rights indicate the rights and they indicate the limitations, the restrictions. If you see the restrictions, they imply the responsibility toward public interest and the responsibility toward the rights of others. In that respect, I think you could say that responsibility or duty is implied in the rights. But if you talk about responsibility—as far as the implementation of human rights is concerned— that is a completely different notion. Then I would say solidarity would be better than responsibility."
René Thomas (Belgian Royal Academy of Sciences, Letters, and the Arts) noted that Afghanistan had not even been mentioned during the symposium and that he could not imagine leaving the meeting without a motion being made with regard to the terrible situation there, particularly that of women.
Wiesel said that while there were many issues that could be discussed, the primary focus of the meeting would be on imprisoned colleagues. He added that there are many countries with deep-seated problems, such as Afghanistan, but that other organizations deal with such broader issues. "We are an organization of scientists and scholars that focuses on trying to help our colleagues. That has been our primary mission, although it may evolve into something broader, as Pieter van Dijk has mentioned."
Wiesel drew attention to a description in the agenda book that represented an effort by him and Carol Corillon to convey the purpose of the Network through a statement, but added that it might not be "stately enough." "The way I look upon it," Wiesel said, "is that rather than a grand statement, it is the Network's individual cases that often make the point themselves about freedom of speech, academic freedom, [and the like]. That is perhaps as effective a way as any to illustrate the purpose of the Network."
This discussion was interrupted to move on to the next topic, but it was continued by Arnold Wolfendale (Academia Europaea) the following day when the meeting was reconvened. Wolfendale presented a draft of a statement that he and several other participants had prepared. After considerable discussion and a number of changes, the following statement was agreed upon and formally adopted.
The Network aims to put into practice the professional duty of scientists and scholars to assist those colleagues whose human rights have been—or are threatened to be—infringed and to promote and protect the independence of academies and scholarly societies worldwide.
How Effective is the Network?
The issue was raised as to whether evidence or criteria exist by which to judge the effectiveness of the Network's interventions in a specific case. One participant asked: How do we evaluate whether a large number of faxes from individuals and academies to the president or the prime minister of a country in a given period of time are effective?
Noting that this question had often been raised, Wiesel acknowledged that providing direct evidence of one's effectiveness is often difficult. "In science," he said, "you do an experiment, you do this and that, and you expect to obtain a certain result. In the human rights field, it is much more complicated because...there are many factors involved and perhaps many other organizations working on the same case. But I never worry about evidence by which to evaluate our effectiveness, except that you do not want to behave foolishly. I think the procedures and interventions that have been developed by various organizations do not differ so much. I suppose that fact in itself would mean that there is some positive effect."
Another participant added that everyone who has been personally involved in trying to help victims of human rights abuses knows that writing appeals makes a difference, although it does not necessarily mean the person is released from jail. "It might mean that the prisoner is allowed to receive his mail, or perhaps to read newspapers or receive books. In many cases it means that the government concerned will at least try to take enough care of the prisoners health so that he or she is not crippled for life. It is very important to let the authorities know that people abroad, important people, are watching."
Corillon said that although it is difficult to judge success, in the experience of the CHR (Committee on Human Rights of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and Institute of Medicine) there have been specific instances when the committee has been told directly that its
interventions were effective. "I think letters that come from a group such as this, in which there are Supreme Court judges and very prominent scientists— we have seven or eight Nobel laureates sitting around this table—have a significant impact. Governments do pay attention to them."
Wiesel concluded by saying that "sometimes in life you have to do what you think is right in order to correct a situation, and you do it because it is the right thing to do and you have the means available to try to help resolve it. Sometimes you fail, sometimes you succeed."
A Private Network Web Site
Wiesel announced a private Web site created and maintained by the CHR for its members and accessible to national academies that create their own human rights committees and are active in the Network. Cases and issues are described at the site, which also features Action Alerts and occasional statements by the Network's Executive Committee as well as regularly updated case information. Of course, the CHR depends on Network members to provide much of the information that is posted because they often have better access to the facts of a case or issue than does the secretariat. Wiesel asked participants to provide such case information (background and updates) to the secretariat to post on the Web.
Corillon explained that the new private Web site replaces the newsletter, Correspondence, that was published twice yearly by the CHR. The site includes detailed case summaries, current and past Action Alerts, regular case updates, and an archive, as well as links to international human rights documents and to the Web sites of human rights organizations. Reinforcing the earlier comment made by Pieter van Dijk, Corillon said that "an essential element of the work is not to write just one letter of appeal for a colleague and then drop the case. It is crucial to continue to regularly express concern and make appeals until a case is successfully resolved. Through this Web site, when members have a few minutes to write a follow-up, they can quickly check the site for the latest information on the status of [a particular] case."
Corillon added that, because the Web site contains a substantial amount of sensitive and sometimes confidential information, access to it is limited to active members of the Network, who are issued a password. She reminded members that the CHR's public Web site, which describes "public cases," is accessible to everyone at http://nationalacademies.org/international/ (see CHR). The site provides basic information on the CHR and the Network, their sources of funding, resolved cases, letters of gratitude from released colleagues, access to the CHR's published reports, and public statements and appeals.
The Network's Cases
In introducing the session on the Network's individual cases, Corillon reiterated that the "primary focus at this stage of the Network's development, as we are feeling our way forward and work to engage national academies around the world in our efforts, has been on cases of colleagues. We have started with a narrow focus, that of specific cases, but who knows where we could go? With the distinguished and knowledgeable people around this table, and the support of their academies, we could go a very long way. We have tried to build slowly and carefully, so as to have a solid base from which to develop a truly effective Network."
An Overview
In response to a question about how cases brought to the Network are selected for action, Corillon explained that the CHR has more than 300 cases, but if the Network were to try to work on that many cases, it would risk overwhelming the member academies. She said that in selecting cases for referral to the Network, she tries to choose the most urgent cases and those that have been the most thoroughly researched. Cases referred to the secretariat by academies in the Network are carefully investigated. If a case is found to fit the Network's criteria for adoption, it is referred by the Executive Committee to the Network members for action.
"Some such cases involve the abduction or arrest of a colleague, and we do not know where he or she is being detained. There may be a serious danger of torture. Other cases are chosen because the colleague is about to be brought to trial, or is ill and needs medical treatment. I try to pick the most urgent cases but to also maintain a reasonable geographic balance because there are cases all over the world, and we do not want to single out only a few countries or a particular region on which to focus."
She said that missions are also very important and that results are often tangible—for example, when prisoners are released. She mentioned the CHR's successful missions to Chile and Somalia in the 1980s. "There are lots of cases on which groups all over the world are working. We intervene privately and often have no idea what effort or efforts really influenced the resolution of a case, but we do what we can and other groups do the same. Together we all hope that our efforts will improve the situation. We also try to make sure that we do not do harm."
As an example, Corillon mentioned the ongoing case in Pakistan of a medical doctor and professor of health, Younis Shaikh, who is charged with blasphemy [see case summary in Appendix C]. She explained that no action had yet been taken by the Network as a whole on this case out of fear that a large number of interventions could make the prisoner's situation worse. She said that often one must wait until contact with the prisoner's family or lawyer is established and they can be asked what efforts will be helpful and what strategies will most
