2015, was definitely the year that FashionTech shrugged of its gadgetry stigma and was finally given a seat at the table.
With innovation leading the way, we witnessed the world of fashion technology pushing boundaries so we could embrace tech-laced smart garments and accessories bragging technology of stylish convenience. It was also the year that Retail Tech came out of the shadows of FashionTech. The year that fitness wearable brands finally understood that they needed to become more fashion conscious when it came to designing their devices, hello Jawbone's collection of beautiful bands.
2015 was also the year of collaborations. The year that fashion brands and technology came together to successfully create wearables that were actually marketable. Our favourite was the Bauble Bar x Jawbone collab, a consumer friendly jewellery collection of wearable tech minus the geek. Then there was Fashion Tech 2.0 brands like Vinaya and Unseen, that not only evolved into fashionable must haves with the power to reflect a wearer's personal taste but they are also now stocked in well known stores like Selfridges and Browns Focus.
Our very own highlights of 2015 included the launch of FashNerd.com in January. This was the year that we threw ourselves into all things fashion and lifestyle tech. We became the first fashion tech news site to launch #WearableTechStylist and Fashion Tech Guides.

Meet the Cornish Holiday Cottages Team
November 22, 2013 by becca.lazar No Comments
There's always been photos of Emily's dogs Mole and Mingo on the website but we thought it was about time we have a team photo with the new shop in Mawnan Smith. It's lovely having a presence in the village and having a space for customers to come and find us.
So here's the team and an odd fact about us all.Emily – In 1989 I brought in the new year in Berlin, which was a momentous occasion, forever etched in my memory, as it was very close to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the start of the reunification of Germany. That night was the first that many East and West Germans had crossed from one side to the other and the atmosphere was completely euphoric and totally unforgettable. Debbie – I have a habit of fainting at the sight of blood – (Don't worry she's not the designated first aider). Dawn – I would dance all day and never come to work if she could – (We'll have to install a disco ball in the office!) Becca – I can't stop buying cookbooks, much to my boyfriends dismay as our house is filling up fast – (We don't mind so much as she brings in cake). Chris – I jumped off a cliff on a Zip Wire at Lusty Glaze beach, aged 64! – (She says she was pushed into it but we're sure she'll be at it again).

Effects of enhanced caregiver training program on cancer caregiver's self-efficacy, preparedness, and psychological well-being.
Journal Article
PURPOSE: We examined the effects of an enhanced informal caregiver training (Enhanced-CT) protocol in cancer symptom and caregiver stress management to caregivers of hospitalized cancer patients. METHODS: We recruited adult patients in oncology units and their informal caregivers. We utilized a two-armed, randomized controlled trial design with data collected at baseline, post-training, and at 2 and 4 weeks after hospital discharge. Primary outcomes were self-efficacy for managing patients' cancer symptoms and caregiver stress and preparedness for caregiving. Secondary outcomes were caregiver depression, anxiety, and burden. The education comparison (EDUC) group received information about community resources. We used general linear models to test for differences in the Enhanced-CT relative to the EDUC group. RESULTS: We consented and randomized 138 dyads: Enhanced-CT = 68 and EDUC = 70. The Enhanced-CT group had a greater increase in caregiver self-efficacy for cancer symptom management and stress management and preparation for caregiving at the post-training assessment compared to the EDUC group but not at 2- and 4-week post-discharge assessments. There were no intervention group differences in depression, anxiety, and burden. CONCLUSION: An Enhanced-CT protocol resulted in short-term improvements in self-efficacy for managing patients' cancer symptoms and caregiver stress and preparedness for caregiving but not in caregivers' psychological well-being. The lack of sustained effects may be related to the single-dose nature of our intervention and the changing needs of informal caregivers after hospital discharge.

National Begonia Society
South Coast Area
South coast Area News
Our Area Show in the floral marquee at the Southsea Show.
Really we were thrown in at the deep end,
or so it seemed at the time. Luckily one of us, "Pop"
Hilton was an excellent grower and an experienced exhibitor.
He and his wife Doris had been
displaying groups of plants including begonias at local shows for some years
and it was their expertise that set us on the road.
1973. Our first display, a modest 9' x 6', attracted much interest and several
new recruits, and with this enthusiastic support we were able to develop
and improve. Even before the Show had ended we were busy planning for
the future.
The following year. the stand had grown to 12' x 10' with an additional
decorated area at one end. A feature as in the previous year was the use of a
large number of Species begonias grown by founder member Alan Cole. The
display earned us our first Gold Medal.
In 1975 we staged the first classes (3 pot, 1 pot, and
3 cut bloom). That same year a young couple enrolled who were to make such an
impact on the Society, both locally and nationally that it is fair to classify our
activities at Southsea as BC (before Coates) and AC (after Coates), I refer of
course to Dave and Pauline. Our
standards were instantly lifted and displays became bigger and bigger. Over
the next few years the number of classes increased and
exhibitors were attracted from further afield. This success was not just down
to Dave and Pauline, it was, and still is a grand team effort by a group of
enthusiasts who have along the way become good friends.
In 1976 the National
granted us area status and Brian Simmons became the first South Coast
Representative and Show Secretary.
By 1984 our stand had become recognised as
the largest massed display of begonias at any Show in the country. A new
introduction was
the charity
pond which over the years benefited many local causes. We now had
twelve classes and these had been divided into Open, Intermediate and Novice
In addition
to our Show and meetings coach trips were proving popular. Our annual pilgrimage to Blackmore & Langdon's open
days prior to the Chelsea Show together with weekends away were
organised by the late Ernie Bryant. We tried to expand along the coast to
Southampton but in spite of staging some very attractive, if modest, displays
for several years local support was not forthcoming.
After the 1988 Show Dave Coates took over as South
Coast Rep. and Vernon Upfield as Show Secretary. New recruits continued
to reinforce our numbers and our classes at the Show grew to twenty,
these took up so much space that we were allocated the entire end of the
floral marquee, an area that we continued to occupy until our last Show at
Each year the stand varied in some way, the
1997 display was steeply banked as in the previous three years,
it was however to be
be the last big massed display. We had lost two or three key contributors and could no longer
muster the 140 or so plants needed to fill the 20' of staging. To counteract this we tried to add more artistic effect,
mainly in the form of a garden. The competitive classes continued to thrive.
In 1998 the Society introduced Area
Championships and honoured us by holding the first competition at Southsea,
classes were for 6 pots and also for 6 cut blooms, the classes augmented our own regular
ones and on the day there were 164 blooms and 82 pots on the showbenches.
The 2002 Show was our
30th. The only surviving founder member Brian Simmons was forced
to withdraw from all classes and from contributing towards the Stand due
to a severe attack of tarsonamid mite in his begonias. This left
the display a little short on plants, but in spite of this it was an
excellent Show with entries well up on the previous year.
although at the time of the Show we did not realise it, this was to be our
last year at Southsea. Ever increasing costs and other problems
forced a rethink and we decided that after 32 years it was time for a
change. We would take the bold decision to hold our own Show.
2005. The
decision paid off. The new venue, Portchester Parish Hall where we held
our meetings, a new building with plenty of light and extensive
facilities. We no longer had the problem of admission passes,
traffic congestion and spiralling costs. We missed being right by the
sea and being part of a very large show but at the end of the day it was
all getting too much for us.
2009. Our
last Show, and the end of an era. Or so we thought at the time.
2010. Not
quite the end!
We were offered tables at the Solent Fuchsia Club Show and staged 5
6, 3 & 1 cut-blooms. 1 pot and 1pot restricted.
Area Representative Dave Coates stepped down after 21 years.
We are extremely grateful to Dave for his sterling service to the
Not only an expert grower and exhibitor, the results of his hybridizing
are widely to be found on the
show-benches. Dave is to continue as a Society Judge.
Nichola Coates, Vera Coates, Pauline Coates, Emily Rose, Fantasia,
Fanfare, Gypsy, Geoff Bizley, Portchester.
Dave Coates joined the Society in 1975 and quickly established himself as a
leading exhibitor and hybridiser. Amongst his introductions are
Nichola Coates (named after his daughter),
Vera Coates (mother),
Coates (wife),
Emily Rose (grand-daughter) and
Geoff Bizley (late friend) are among the most widely
exhibited varieties.
After two years at the Solent Fuchsia Club Show we were kindly offered
space at Havant Garden Centre. where we changed back to a two day Show.
Dave continued as Show Secretary.
Kevin Myerscough appointed Area Representative and takes over as Show Secretary for a one day Show at
Havant Garden Centre.
Kevin resigns as Area Representative after the Show.
Philip Champion appointed.
In the absence of an Area
Rep and venue we had exhibitors that still wanted to show.
In order to
achieve this
we approached Purbrook Horticultoral Society
and agreed the South Coast Area Show would form
part of their show.

Cable And Satellite Broadcasting Association Of Asia (CASBAA) On Tuesday Welcomed The Initiative Taken By The Government Of India To Increase Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Limit.
Cable and Satellite Broadcasting Association of Asia (CASBAA) on Tuesday welcomed the initiative by the Indian government to increase foreign direct investment (FDI) limit.
All experts and panelists who attended the conference CASBAA was arrested in Hong Kong welcomed the decision of the Government of India, but also believed that instead of putting the caps in various sectors, the limit should be strengthened board by them to ensure the flow into the latest technology and content. "The industry in India needs an investment of nearly $ 4 million to modernize the industry and power cord to compensate for the scanning program initiated by the government in 2014. For this to happen on the ground, we must invest heavily in this sector, which is not available with the national players. For this to be done by 74 percent in all areas, Deepak''Jacob, Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Star India Pvt Limited, said at the conference .
He also emphasized the treatment of public and consumers with the latest technological improvements and the broadcasting industry, and they too should be exposed to the digital revolution is happening internationally. Multi system operators (MSOs) and local cable operators (LCOS) would have a significant role in this. However, the funds for a great disadvantage with the national players, this area needed a huge amount of foreign direct investment funds to prepare the country and its consumers with a real change. "We are pleased to move to improve the restrictions on foreign direct investment, which will open up the sector to flow better and funds, and I hope that reforms in this sector will continue at a good pace. We are also pleased that India has already made a big step towards the digitalization of cable services,''Simon Twiston Davies, CEO of CASBAA said.
Experts say the move is likely to help rapidly growing DTH six players get more private investment. This is because many operators such as Tata Sky DTH leaders, DishTV and Sun Direct have already reached the limit of 20% of FDI.

'Kites' is here! The debut single from Gravitonas is released worldwide today, you can go and get it on iTunes right now! And to mark the occasion, they've released the accompanying video for 'Kites' to the Aftonbladet website. It's a visually stunning affair, as we'd hoped and expected from seeing the first promo pictures of the band. The theme is theatrical, and it's all red curtains, costumes, masks, wooden boards, red wine, and piano. Distorted faces and distorted film A gentric kind of madness. The highlight of which has to be the bizarre gag mask that Alexander Bard is sporting in scenes!

Of course the report doesn't say that Trump wants Americans to be killed, but we have to present alongside that headline that Republicans say that Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats want open borders to allow an "invasion" to take place. Do I have to say anymore? We can throw into the fire that Trump wants Americans to be killed with assault weapons and that is why he won't take action among other things. To be balanced I must say that Trump and others would say that the great assault weapon of the Repugnicans is the MS-13.
The DHS or Department of Homeland Security which is not a liberal agency by any means reported that Trump wanted to do nothing to curtail and prevent White Supremacy by attacking it and emphasized only the threat of Muslims when the threat from Whites is gigantic in America compared to the Muslim threat in America. That Trump for you!
We noticed this movement to minimize the problems of White Supremacy recently as people from different minority groups testified in Congress about the Muslim threat and never once portrayed the statistics to show that this White nation and its anti-Semitism and hate is the greater threat, even as Jews were being massacred here and Muslim massacred in New Zealand. I was concerned about domestic terrorism and wrote to Senator John Mc Cain and he responded even though the protocol of our Congress is that constituents should seek out their own senator. I wrote to Mc Cain about gangs and domestic terrorism and scored points. Trump chose to ignore the problem for over a year. CNN News reported that domestic terrorism now ranks closely with international terrorism under Trump. And things will not get back during the 2020 budget because of the delay to act. No funding no manpower!
Trump is bad at speaking out against White Supremacy and that is typical of much of the horrible history that I have been reading about for over two years. He is slightly better at speaking out than Adolph Hitler was. Should we give him credit for that? And the report also indicates that Trump was more concerned about foreign drug dealers and Muslims.
Now in writing about this serious danger, I must tackle the great danger brought up in the controversy of Joaquin Castro giving out the names of Trump donors. Repugnicans now contend that Castro is making it dangerous for those people. Now can a general statement of Trump's donors paying to support Trump's attack on immigrants be dangerous? Is it not part of the entire political apparatus of today? It's the essence of Trump's attack on humanity. And I wonder if Congressman Castro knows how to handle that situation. First of all is there really a danger to those donors? Many of my readers know about danger because they have been to the school of hard knocks. I have been in a fast food restaurant talking to youth about MS-13 when a gang member walked in. The youth immediately advised me not to look and that is one way to stay out of danger. I am on the streets every day where there could be danger, but things are okay there. I never feel afraid and I am not going to improperly portray the situation for political advantage as Tim Murtaugh who works for the Trump campaign has expressed as the says that it put those donors in danger. What is missing from the Castro response citing the 1st Amendment protections, the fact that the list is a public list required by law, and that the Supreme Court has indicated that disclosure is important to the American public.
That is a great reason why we also need to review Donald Trump's taxes to learn just where his income came from and what his expenses were for. Americans have been deceived in the past by lots of things, including the head of Texaco who extended credit to Hitler and who set up a network of spies in Europe to help Hitler against the Allies (before America entered the war). Even that may not change most Americans who may quickly forget that American youth ended up fighting in that war to reverse the early successes of the Nazis and terminate them later on. Patriotism is certainly mixed here with White Supremacy. And one more thing is this important statement by author Peter Hayes on the Holocaust. We Jews know about all the evil that has been cast at us and the latter part of the 19th century and the early part of the 20th century is full of evidence. Jews were hated in Europe just as Hispanics or African Americans are hated here. So what brought out the great hate of Germany? Hayes says Hitler and here we say it is Trump. Hayes is the chair of the Academic Committee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. I repeat that there was hate in Germany and there is hate right here. Trump's kind of hate. I hope that the Entente between right-wing Jews and White Supremacists under Trump will come to an end before 2020. Twenty-twenty vision is required to see it. And I repeat that Trump was slow to help prevent those massacres that have taken place under his watch. He didn't have to pull the trigger and neither did Hitler.
And the world stage is full of hate where one deed feeds another as it did when Hitler learned a lot about what to do from the way the United States treated African Americans. In Vilnius Jews are afraid but divided about what to do. There is a synagogue is closing to protect Jewish life and the climate there is highly reminiscent of the climate in the United States caused by Donald Trump as he has honored Confederates in his speeches to his base. In Vilnius it is about Trump-like people who wish to honor people who collaborated with the Nazis. There must be a university where these people learn how use their free speech to terrorize us. And could honoring Hitler be next? Is that the graduate course of study? Are Nathan Bedford Forrest, Robert E. Lee, and Adolph Hitler going to be honored for their "greatness" as even some African Americans and Jews sit back and watch? And list could go on and on for other ethnic and minority groups who have detested the regimes of their dictators. The United States may sink to its lowest depth even as right-wing supporters of Donald Trump may one day honor all of them on one special day to diversity instead of protecting the acquired rights of all people. I clearly do not see Jews standing up to honor the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who terrorized Jews, but what about the rest of the characters? The flight to Palestine was considered an "invasion" and the author of much, most, or all of this new trouble concerning the immigrants is Jewish. Shouldn't that matter to all Jews?
I have witnessed a fellow Jew tell me a decade ago that there are too many Hispanics in the United States. I have also witnessed a fellow Jew tell me that we should kill all of the Arabs. I do not reveal these things to inflame people. Then there was a board member in the local library that expressed the same thing about Spanish speaking people in a board meeting and nothing was said. We are supposed to shop alongside Hispanics and not kill them in WALMART. Sure Trump has all this blood on his hands for doing the wrong things. In Vilnius a plague honoring a collaborator who helped kill Jews was taken down and another street was renamed because the street name honored a man who called for the ethnic cleansing of Jews.
Stephen Ross, Miami Dolphins owner, is in the news now for his support of Donald Trump (the fundraiser is tomorrow in the Hamptons on Long Island) and there is talk of boycotting companies related to Ross. Ross disagrees, he says, with lots of Trump things, but he supports Trump's help for business. Jobs are important, but getting into bed with the worst elements of hate matters too. What keeps people far away from understanding the nature of the beast? There is another Trump supporter that I read about last week who says that he received his biggest increase in Social Security under Trump and we know that SS is heading for cuts under Trump and his political supporters. We successfully fought the SS in Nazi Germany and we have to successfully fight the cuts to SS here. The support that Trump receives should be support out the door of the White House forever.
Do you remember Trump's comment about taking Iraq's oil? He could have learned that from Hitler. Okay not directly from Hitler and not from a median. Hitler needed oil and Russian oil was a poor quality. There was an Allied blockade at that time so he went to Romania. The British also mined large parts of those oil fields fearing the worst. British manipulations of the price of oil also made the oil very expensive for Germany and it did not have the cash reserves to buy. Germany put pressure on Romania by telling it that it could not respect its neutrality if it continued to cooperate with the British and French over the oil. Germany offered Romania armaments for oil. From my point of view, I see the same kind of behavior in Trump and there is no war going on. Trump's mind possesses the war. In early 1940 Romania agreed, getting weapons captured from the Polish army from Germany and increasing the monthly supply of oil to Hitler from 120,000 tons to 200, 000 tons and at a reduced price. Trump is contributing to a war at home just as Hitler made his contributions and all of this reflects his foreign policy as well. And he makes other places and their leaders more vulnerable just as King Carol II became toxic for his dealings with Germany.
What happened to Carol? Hitler wouldn't back Romania against Germany and the relationship started to bleed as Russia occupied Romania. Carol fled with his long-time mistress Lupescu. Ellen Lupescu's father was born Grunberg but his name changed to Wolff (less Jewish). Then Ellen took the name Lupescu. The nationalists seized on Carol's relationship with Lupescu, calling him King Carol II the lowest form of humanity for violating his vows of marriage in relation to his affair with Lupescu. There were other friendships with Jews who were wealthy and that led his political enemies to referencing his administration as catering to "foreign" interests (meaning the Jews).

Side Hustle: Hybrid Account-Based in 1 Week
C'mon. Just between us. Should I do this?
I like what I've heard about account-based so far, but it sounds like…
- …I'm supposed to just walk away from my existing eCommerce business?
- …more than my company can handle right now.
Relax. It's not even like that.
By now you've heard how everyone's finally starting to use marketing automation technology to enable more than massive funnel metrics. Account-based is a return to classic, business relationship building. Sitting down for no pressure, one-on-one meetings with a prospects sounds great–who doesn't want to spend their days playing golf and sipping martinis with likeminded others who write us checks?
But the technology and processes often paired with the account-based discussion present some legitimate opportunity costs. With so many people all-in, it can feel a bit intimidating. The good news is, if you already see the power of alignment around being a customer hero—but don't see your business model radically changing overnight—you can begin building a hybrid account-based approach with a single target account experiment.
Hybrid Account-Based in 1 Week (through 4 meetings)
Let's try something a little different. Consider it a proof of concept. Schedule a series of meetings around your account-based experiment. You want Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Product involved in these at a minimum—knowing executive buy-in and participation is both customary and highly recommended.
In the first meeting, bring everyone up to speed. Introduce the experiment. You're diving deep into your best customer accounts, figuring out what makes them tick, and then using that information to identify similar target accounts you can go after in an account-based manner.
In the second meeting, dive deep into your best customer accounts. You want everyone to leave this meeting with a clear understanding of what makes an ideal account. Document everything you know these accounts have in common. Size, location, revenue, industry/niche, age, business model, personality—who on your team engaged with whom on their team—the works.
Develop super specific descriptions of those businesses; who was involved with those deals, when they were involved, the problems solved for them, and what their results look like. Compare these details between half a dozen of your best accounts to establish a super accurate description of your ideal customer profile.
This is where you start building your playbook. Who was involved in the first interaction with the existing account? What did that involvement look like? Document this. Document every repeatable action taken across your organization—and with the account's. Again, who engaged with whom, when and where? You want to repeat those plays with your target account.
The third meeting is all about identifying target accounts and data gaps. If you've done your homework, the team will come to this meeting with a short list of target accounts very similar to the best in your current portfolio. Stuff like, Alaskan fishing and tourism charters with at least five boats and 20 employees, 5-10 years old, realizing at least $50k MRR and growing. With that level of insight into your target accounts, pick the one you know the most about to try an account-based approach on.
Now you dive deep into this target account, identifying the data gaps, and collaborating around filling in those blanks. Who did Sales personally engage with—when and where—on the example account you've already closed? Who should they engage with on this target account? Answer the same questions for everyone involved. Account-based is all about doing more of what's worked best in the past.
In the final meeting of the week, use your new account-based strategy to develop a tactical game plan based on the plays from the second meeting back on Wednesday. Marketing can sketch up a basic, side hustle content plan to get your brand on the target's radar and schedule some design time around customizing the previously delivered report for the new account. Make sure everyone has access to the playbook and will be notified when they need to execute those plays.
Side Hustle ABM
Anyone telling you to walk away from your existing, proven revenue streams because account-based is some kind of miracle cure-all for every business is full of shit. But if something about account-based resonates with you, it's worth running an experiment or two.
If you aren't familiar with the term, a side hustle is typically a business idea you develop on the side. Your company might not be ready to go all-in on account-based, but you should be ready to explore your existing data sets, surface actionable insights, and test a theory or two.
Just between us? You should totally try this.
The elephant in the room: I know this post suggests a lot. First, that you can adopt a hybrid account-based approach in one week, and second, that you should pull a number of people into several hours of meetings to do so.
Here's the rub, though. You can read account-based blog posts and white papers all day, everyday. You can sit through hours upon hours of webinar slide decks explaining plays in depth.
Until you've rolled up your sleeves and looked at your own business and data from an account-based perspective, you can only guess at how involved implementing account-based would be for your organization.
These are exciting times. This is exciting stuff. Run an experiment or two on the side to see where you're strong—and where you could use a little help. Worst that could happen is you get a deeper understanding of your best customers. And isn't that always a good thing?

Allergic to hops?
|More than just a choking hazard...?
Is there really such a thing as being allergic to hops?
Unfortunately yes. It isn't bullshit and it isn't just Asain glow (or mild alcohol allergy), it is a real allergic reaction to hop pollen and it can have some nasty effects. In fact, it turns out you can be allergic to nearly all the essential elements of beer but Cocktail Sauce is 99% sure it's the hops.
What are the symptoms of hop allergy?
Usually hop allergies are fairly mild. Which is the reason Cocktail Sauce will often 'try' the beers I forgetfully bring along as my "I'll bring the drinks," party contribution.
If Cocktail Sauce were to habitually do hop the way that I do she could potentially break out in a skin rash, develop a painful sinus problem coupled with swelling of the mouth and tongue which could possibly lead to anaphylaxis, a life-threatendng whole-body reaction that causes trouble breathing and swells the throat. At which point I would have to call the emergency line (what's 911 in France?) and inevitably have to put down my beer.
Bummer to the max.
What to do if you're allergic to hops?
Take non-drowsy Benadryl or another antihistamine to relive some of the allergic reaction symptoms.
Try herbed or spiced beers as they are the widest range of styles that omit the hops.
Drink cider. But why drink cider when you could follow this step by step Champagne Cider guide and make that it yourself!
What to do if you aren't allergic to hops?

I'd be lying if I said venturing out on my own, beyond walking up the street to get some food, was easy. If I'm meeting up with at least one other person it's easier, than a solo outing. Either way, it takes a fair amount of mental "gearing –up," and strategic planning.
First, there's the heat. It's not just hot; it's really, really hot, humid, and relentless heat. The lack of any breeze or movement of air contributes to already poor air quality. Which begs the questions: How much to cover up, do I need to wear a mask? Then there's the possibility of a storm (It's still the rainy/monsoon season): Take umbrella, raincoat, both, or neither? (I always have a poncho in my purse.)
Finally there's the helmet question: Am I meeting up with people, in which case there's always the chance we'll go somewhere else on motor scooters; the other chance is someone might offer to take me home on their motor scooter, or the taxi I call never shows up, so someone needs to give me a ride home. (all 3 scenarios have a precedent).
Once those questions are answered there's the whole "call a taxi" challenge. I've found one driver who understand/speaks a little English and knows to pick me up from Ben Tre College on Son Dong Commune. If that driver isn't available, which is often, my other option is to go to the front gate, call a taxi company and hand my phone to a student, or the guard at the gate, so they can talk to the taxi driver and tell the driver where I am. Wait times for a taxi have been anywhere from 5 to 45 minutes, so planning when to walk to the gate and call can be challenging. Once the taxi arrives, I have hopefully written the correct address, with all of the correct accent markings – and the driver knows where it is. That's just getting there! Getting home on my own is the same in reverse, but means calling from somewhere I can name so the taxi can pick me up. So far, the lobby of a small Australian Hotel, or the large grocery store seems to be the two best options for pick-up. Needless to say: I much prefer being invited out and having whoever is going with me, pick me up or help me with calling a taxi and giving them the address of where I need to go.
Yesterday I took a tour on the Mekong River. I was disappointed, but to be fair, I think the "tourist" industry, especially where I am, is relatively new and evolving. I tend to avoid doing "touristy" things, but had been reading so much about boat tours on the river, I thought it would be fun. I got a recommendation from one of the faculty members and I think he even called them ahead of time and got information for me. I would have been more than happy to join a group tour, but was set up with a private tour for the equivalent of $27.00. The tour was supposed to last 4 hours, but as soon as the boat left the dock, my guide showed me a menu for lunch, and said if I wanted lunch it was extra, and if I didn't want lunch the tour was only 3 hours. I'd just had a big breakfast and the prices for lunch were more than 5x what they would be back in town, so I politely declined the lunch option.
Then we got a little further up the river and my guide told me we were going to change the route and not see the brick factory because there was too much traffic on the river?? We turned up a small tributary, and came to a small "honey" farm. Only saw one hive, but lots of honey, pollen and cream for sale. Then we walked a short distance to a coconut candy "factory" which consisted of coconut milk with malt being boiled and made into taffy, then 3 women sat at a table and wrapped into individual candies, but only when there were tourists – otherwise – they were drinking tea and talking. Turns out my guide's sister was one of the women wrapping coconut candy. I was also supposed to hear traditional music, but the musicians were in hammocks and the two women singers were putting on makeup. I think they were getting ready for a bigger tour group that was behind us and my guide didn't want to wait for them so we moved on. Next was a stop at a grass mat weaving home and then a ride in a gondola type boat down a small tributary to a Tuk-Tuk that was waiting to take us back to our starting point. What was supposed to be a 4-hour tour was less than 2 1/2. I did get to go out on the river and I saw a completely different area of Ben Tre, so all in all is was worth it.
Dinner last night started with an invitation for "Coffee" at 6:30. We went via her scooter to a new Hotel on the River that had an outside rooftop café overlooking the river. Her 15-year-old son and husband joined us. I was delighted to see her son rebuff, any physical contact from his mother– in what must be a somewhat universal or typical teen-age boy gesture. He was charming, wanting to engage, but also shy and unsure of his English. Once coffee was finished, we then went out for a delicious street food noodle dinner.
Wi-Fi has been completely down since Thursday, and spotty most of the week. I'm not as panicked as I would have been the first week, but it is a bit unsettling to feel disconnected. I also discovered my phone had run out and I needed to purchase more time – now that was a bit of a panic! My venture out this morning will be to a café with Wi-Fi, so I can upload some photos and this word document. I did upgrade the Blog, hoping to be able to upload some video clips, but that's the next level of upgrade. Hopefully you won't be subjected to advertisements any more.
As always, I am grateful for connections to home and family and your messages on the website or emails are grounding.

At least five people have died and as many as 20 were injured after a volcano began erupting Monday afternoon off New Zealand's North Island, one of the country's two main islands.
Speaking to reporters in the capital Wellington, New Zealand's Deputy Police Commissioner John Tims confirmed the fatalities and said the toll is likely to rise, since there are still several people missing.
Tim said the police were not sure about the exact number of people still in the island and their wellbeing, but could be in the double digits.
He said they were of different nationalities, and some of those involved were guests from the Royal Caribbean International cruise ship Ovation of the Seas.
Tim also said the island was still too dangerous for police and rescuers to search for the missing. He said that most of the 18 survivors were injured, and some with severe burns. They were transported to the area hospitals for treatment.
Emergency officials say around 50 people were on White Island, also known as Whakaari, when the eruption began, fewer than initially reported by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern who said 100 tourists were "on or around" the volcano,.
AFP reports that cameras providing a live feed from the volcano showed a group of tourists walking on the crater floor moments before the eruption occurred.
White Island sits 50 kilometers northeast of the town of Tauranga on North Island.
Authorities urged people to avoid areas on North Island near the eruption.
GeoNet agency classified the volcanic eruption as moderate and raised its alert level to four, on a scale where five represents a major eruption.
GeoNet says White Island is New Zealand's most active cone volcano and about 70 percent of the volcano is under the sea.

Where to eat in Washington DC
A couple of months ago, I met Washington chef-entrepreneur Erik Bruner-Yang at the glamorous Waldorf Astoria Shanghai, China, where he was part of a competition to create new iconic dishes for the hotel chain, which lays rightful claim to the Waldorf salad (amongst many others).
When he wasn't cooking or overseeing dumpling creations by ham-fisted journalists, he was powering through the city streets, discovering the food scene. We had a chat about where to eat in his hometown, and the influences of his own Taiwanese-Belgian background upon his food.
He tipped Filipino cuisine as the next big thing in the USA, recommends his favourite traditional Japanese restaurant and also shares a hot tip on the best customised pizza in Washington DC – it's a pretty eclectic food safari.
You can read his hot tips in this short piece for the Traveller section of the Sydney Morning Herald/ The Age newspapers.

Mussels and brisket: eating Melbourne this week
It's been a good week for eating in Melbourne, and I checked out the new Marion wine bar, by chef-restaurateur Andrew McConnell in happening Gertrude St, Fitzroy. How's that for a minimalist menu?

The 16 must-see new architecture projects for 2016

Who doesn't love an architectural icon? While rising prices and
global uncertainty have slowed many building projects around the world –
the ambitious Grand Egyptian Museum is once again on ice – eyes are
open for key cultural offerings in Hamburg, New York and London.

skinny is inny as New York discusses the rash of slim skyscrapers
overshadowing Central Park and the first super-tall skyscraper has been
approved for Warsaw. However, take your head out of the clouds to see
what's trending in the world of architecture.
"Analogue seems to
be coming back … less slick, less same-same," says Sydney architect and
architecture walking guide Eoghan Lewis. "Authenticity is trending, and
there is a new focus on refinement and simplicity." (see www.sydneyarchitecture.org)

Cruise Antarctica, shed light on the Philippines or find feathered friends: Takeoff travel news
CRUISE: Ship in Antarctica
Norwegian cruise company Hurtigruten has turned its eyes from its Arctic homeland to Antarctica, doubling
its capacity to become the largest provider of explorer travel in the
deep south. Currently, its small expedition ship MS Fram sails from
Ushuaia, Argentina, but in 2016/17 it will be joined by sister ship MS
Midnatsol. Carrying 500 passengers, the larger Midnatsol will start and
end its journeys in Punta Arenas in Chilean Patagonia, and will include
an interactive science lab and tailored children's programs. Next
season, MS Fram will carry just 200 guests, seeking new locations and
extreme nature experiences such as camping among penguins and kayaking
in seal and whale habitats. More than 36,000 people visited Antarctica
in 2014-2015, the British base at Port Lockroy (and its famous post
office) receiving more than 10,000 visitors. Australians make up the
second-largest nationality of visitors to Antarctica after US citizens.
Journeys on the MS Midnatsol are 18 days. See

FOOD: Cocktails at the ready
London is enjoying a torrid affair
with prebottled cocktails, in the swankiest possible way. For those of
us on the paying side of the bar, that means less construction noise
from blenders, a consistent drink and shorter waits. Leading the pre-mix
cocktail charge is London light Ryan Chetiyawardana, aka Mr Lyan, whose
third bar, Dandelyan, is in the Tom Dixon-designed Mondrian London (morganshotelgroup.com). In a stroke of genius, his little gems also appear in the hotel
rooms' minibars – did someone say, ''Martinis in bed''? Other

Warning: cute alert. Get down at eye
level with Phillip Island's most famous residents, its Little Penguins,
in a new underground bunker that opens in mid-November. The tiny penguins stand about 30cm fully grown, and you'll be able to eyeball them
one-way glass – as they come ashore at sunset after a hard day's fishing. There's also new above-ground
seating for 400 people being built into the dunes as part of a
five-year, $1 million investment by RACV into the not-for-profit Phillip
Island Nature
Parks. More than 600,000 people
visited the eco-tourism venture last year, with profits invested back
into conservation, research and education. The close-up Penguin Plus area won't
be available during the construction period, so with fewer seats
available, visitors should pre-purchase tickets,
especially during school holidays.
The Penguin Parade is 90 minutes from Melbourne. General tickets cost
from $25.40 adults, $12.25 children 4-12 years, and $61.25 families. See

Manhattan, tuck this modest book under your arm before you decamp to New York.
Its title is self-explanatory; Seeking
New York: the stories behind the historic architecture of Manhattan – One Building at a Time. The book is based on the blog Daytonian in Manhattan, written by Tom Miller, a NY police inspector
originally from Daytonia, Ohio. His curious mind digs into the histories of 55 of
the borough's buildings (there are many, many more on his blog), describing property
speculation in 1820s Canal Street, the impoverished Lower East Side at the turn
of the 20th century, great real estate coups and architectural
intricacies. There are grand triumphs and small stories: it's also a history of
the people that made the city. "Never stop being a tourist, never stop looking
up," says Miller. Costs $29.99. See allenandunwin.com.

Build the perfect family holiday: choose from these 6 LEGOLANDs (or do them all!)
crates of Denmark's most famous export, LEGO. In a classic case of
'build it and they will come,' this modest toy has built an empire. And
its theme parks are about to rake over the world.
Empire building
LEGO is older than nearly all of its fans: the plastic brick was
invented in Billund, Denmark, in 1958. Fast-forward 56 years and there
are six LEGOLAND destinations across the globe: the Danish original, two
in the US, one in the quintessentially English town of Windsor,
Germany's LEGOLAND Deutschland and the newest (and closest to Australia)
in Johor, Malaysia. The theme parks are designed for kids 2 to 12
years, and all have Duplo Gardens, with bigger bricks for smaller kids.
Try the original
Go back to where it all began. The first LEGOLAND opened in 1968,
just beside the first Lego factory. "My oldest boy wanted to go to
Lego's heartland," says Jacqui Davidson, who has taken her three active
boys, aged 12, nine and six, to the original LEGOLAND in Denmark, and
visited Malaysia's LEGOLAND three times. "LEGO is more educational than
other theme parks," she says. "The kids do building workshops, have
competitions and even robotics courses. It's inspiring, and it's not
just a boy thing."
Eat, breathe and sleep LEGO
If too much LEGO is never enough, check the family into the LEGO
Hotel attached to your LEGOLAND destination of choice. The rooms have
either a pirate, kingdom or adventure theme. "I would definitely
recommend LEGOLAND Billund Hotel," says Jacqui. "There's LEGO kitsch,
LEGO soap, LEGO shampoo, LEGO pillows, and the excellent, very
child-oriented buffet in the bistro." The four-star Hotel LEGOLAND also
specialises in corporate teambuilding using LEGO (and let's face it, if
you can't team-build here, then where can you?!)
Water play
In Malaysia, Jacqui's boys give the new Star Wars section a big
thumbs-up, while the grown-ups love Miniland (which reproduces Asia's
top landmarks, such as Cambodia's Angkor Wat and the golden temples of
Burma, in Lego). "Be prepared with water and umbrellas for shade," she
adds. The best thing is its waterpark, she says. "If you're in Malaysia
for more than 24 hours, you'll need a swim." With balmy temps also the
norm in California and Florida, both of the US theme parks conveniently
have fabulously fun waterparks.
Enter the dragon
In comparison, Bernie Jackson took his three kids, aged 10, eight and
four, to visit LEGOLAND Deutschland over two rainy days, which kept the
crowds at bay. "The kids loved it. The park was manageable enough for
the older kids to explore by themselves, and there was plenty to keep
the four-year-old in awe. The biggest hit was Captain Nick's Splash
Battle, and while our youngest was a late-adopter on the Dragon Coaster,
he rode it until the park closed."
What's next?
2014 saw the launch of the Lego Movie, featuring the voices of
Hollywood greats including Morgan Freeman and Liam Neeson, about an evil
tyrant's plan to glue the LEGO universe together. There are also
another three LEGOLANDs in development, across Dubai, Japan and South
But wait… There's more!
Not even the 2015 Super Bowl could escape the Lego treatment. Enter the Brick Bowl
– the brainchild of British animation house A+C Studios. The
three-minute clip is a journey through nine of this year's Super Bowl
ads edited together to make a story – and it took them an incredible 36
hours to create. Watch the video now and be amazed. Because everything is awesome.

Famous Flyer: Dawn Fraser
|Water and her family inspire Olympic legend Dawn Fraser.
Sun Peaks in British Columbia, Canada, with my daughter and grandson,
then aged 3. He was being taught to ski by my friend, world champion
Nancy Greene, and we stayed in a self-sufficient apartment in her lodge,
which is great when you're travelling with kids (see cahiltylodge.com).
The Emirates Palace is owned by the sheikh of Abu Dhabi. It's just
unbelievable, with its gold shower taps and toilets. I played golf on
their courses and drove a new Mercedes car on their F1 racetrack. I
reached 190 miles per hour, but you're driving a safe car, heavens
above! The other hotel is the Dorchester in London. We loved being
spoilt and that's just what they do. And they don't mind having children
in their dining room.
|British Columbia
My bathers – well, I'm a swimmer. I always have my training bathers and a two-piece, to get a sun tan. Oh, and my passport.
Taking too many clothes. You can always use the washing machine in
the hotel or have the laundry done, if it's reasonable. In the early
days, I always did my own laundry, as I liked to have clean bathers and
towels. I have packed beach towels in my luggage, which of course you
don't need in hotels.
Always check your hotel and air bookings. There's nothing worse than
turning up to the hotel and finding you don't have a booking, not that
it's ever happened to me. I always have my bookings printed and in my
little hand.
I slipped in the bath in a hotel in Monte Carlo and broke four ribs.
We were staying right beside the racing-car circuit and the noise coming
into my room was horrific, on top of the pain.
Good weather and happiness. I usually take my daughter and my
grandson, now 11, with me. Recently, we were in LA and stayed at the
Lego Hotel for five days, building Lego, and spent four days at
Disneyland Anaheim in California. I never knew my grandparents, and I
said I'd always try to be the best grandparent I could, so he's always
with me.
I've been pretty much everywhere, but on my bucket list is an
Antarctic cruise. I read about it every week in the papers. I believe
the colours of the water are incredible, and of course, water is my

Technology: Alloy takes the shuttle to a higher plane
An alloy of aluminium and lithium will allow NASA to cut the weight
of the space shuttle by more than 3.6 tonnes, and should make an orbiting
space station easier to build.
The shuttle's external fuel tank will be the first part of the craft
to be made with the new alloy. This orange, bulbous structure, attached
to the underside of the shuttle orbiter, contains oxygen and liquid hydrogen
that are burnt by the shuttle's main engines. The tank is recovered from
the ocean after being jettisoned by the shuttle during its climb into orbit.
Aerospace engineers have been interested by aluminium-lithium alloys
for years. The problem has been how to weld it to build sections of aircraft
and rockets, says Don Bolstad of Martin Marietta Manned Space Systems, which
builds the tanks.
The breakthrough came five years ago, when Martin Marietta researchers
developed a new version of the aluminium-lithium alloy which includes small
quantities of silver and magnesium as well as aluminium, lithium and copper.
It is 5 per cent less dense and 30 per cent stronger than the alloy of
aluminium and copper now used in the shuttle. That crucial difference will
allow engineers to shave enough metal from the tank's design to cut more
than 3600 kilograms from its weight.
The shuttle can add that weight to its payload, or as extra fuel to
lift the same payload into higher orbits. The latter would be particularly
useful for launching parts of the space station. To entice Russia to join
the space station programme, the US has agreed to put the station in an
orbit that is more inclined to the Equator than its initial plan. This inclined
orbit is convenient for the Russians to reach because they can use their
more northerly launch facilities, but it would be difficult for the space
shuttle, launched from a more southerly latitude, to attain with its existing
The first launch with the new tank is scheduled for 1997. Each tank
is expected to cost $59 million, or $3.5 million more than the current
'You may see more and more of this alloy,' says Bolstad. Other manufacturers
are taking an interest in it for more down-to-Earth applications in bicycles,
ice-hockey sticks and carriages for high-speed trains.

This is the other side of normal.
What is normal? Where is the line between normal and abnormal?
Something we usually see, something that ought to be, something that common, is what we called normal.
There's a lot more than that. Something we have seen before, something we have dream about, something we have imagine.Unfortunately, got in our blind spot.
Try to see wide, open your mind and see. Believe the impossible thing, and you will find that we are all mad here.
We have our own unique private mind, combination of our gene, experience, chemical and environment that make us different, and beyond normal.
There is no ordinary person.
After all… why be normal?

Bass, Panfish biting near Hemet's Diamond Valley Marina
HEMET — On Sunday, Aug. 3, anglers near the Diamond Valley Marina were catching bass between 2 and 10 pounds. Rob Phelps of Hemet reeled in a 9 pound 9 ounce bass using a shell cracker as bait.
Anglers report seeing stripers but have had a hard time hooking them. It is recommended to use cut bait and bluegill look-alike lures, as the stripers are prone to hunt small bluegills in the area.
Panfish have also been abundant in area waters. Fishermen have been catching the panfish on night crawlers, mini jigs and mealworms. Hoyt Curtis of Sun City brought home a solid 2 pound 1 ounce redear on a night crawler.
Anglers have also reported plentiful catfish biting. Area insiders suggest stink bait, cut bait and night crawlers are currently working best.
