BEAUFORT — The sun was shining down Wednesday on the few dozen listening to Michael Regan, secretary of the state Department of Environmental Quality, speak about the work of the North Carolina Coastal Reserve and National Estuarine Research Reserve during the 30th anniversary celebration of the program.
Held at Harborside Park in downtown Beaufort, Regan, was joined by Coastal Reserve Program Director Rebecca Ellin, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management Deputy Director Keelin Kuipers and Mayor Rett Newton.
"Because of the foresight of state and local leaders 30 years ago, North Carolina Coastal Reserve and National Estuarine Research Reserve protects 10 sites and 44,000 acres of critical coastal ecosystems and serves the purpose of both science and discovery," Regan told those gathered at the waterfront park with a view of Rachel Carson Reserve, one of the reserve's 10 sites.
During the ceremony, Regan presented a proclamation signed by Gov. Roy Cooper to Newton declaring June 19, 2019, as North Carolina Coastal Reserve Day.
The North Carolina Coastal Reserve and National Estuarine Research Reserve is a program of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management, a division of DEQ. The reserve includes 10 sites along the state's coast established for long-term research, education and stewardship.

With routes to choose, equipment and bikes to research and hunt down, visas to obtain, and shots to inject, most people agree on one thing. A trans-continental cycling trip is not something to rush into. The general advice is around 12 months of planning and preparation, including test rides. General advice? Ha! I laugh in the face of general advice! Two and a half months would be plenty. To make it more of a challenge we decided to sell just about everything we own, and take Zoa's two dogs along for the ride. With friends and family unable or unwilling to look after them, Jack and Paco added 60kgs to our luggage in one hefty swoop. No problem. (I didn't realise at the time that most people aim for a total of 20kgs of luggage.)
With Zoa finishing up her job at jumbo beer company, my life became the life of a secretary. Posting ads, taking phone calls, sending emails , researching, and making coffee in provocative outfits. The more I learnt, the more I realised I didn't know. It appeared braking was no longer achieved by pedaling backwards. All new discs, hydraulic fluids, levers and cables might be involved. Then there were the extra cogs, whole different gears to worry about. I had already tried to ignore them once before. On a brief stint of volunteering in Yorkshire, England we were provided bikes to make the 5km trip from the house to the farm. To the delight of my fellow volunteers I drew the short straw and was assigned the pink girls bike. But I didn't care, the sunshine, the breeze on my face was wonderful. What had I been missing all these years? Then there was a hill. Too embarrassed to ask about how gears work I pressed on in high gear. I pulled away from the pack, feeling strong, feeling proud. But my stamina faded before the hill did, and panting furiously, legs aching, I came to a stop near the top, getting off to push the remaining metres. Everyone else overtook me, seeming fine, but I felt like vomiting into the rows of vegetables for the rest of the day.
As far as motivation goes, the end of a rental lease and looming homelessness is a pretty good one. So without hesitation I began the quest to find the replacement for Duster, my childhood bike. Zoa, blessedly, was already equipped with a Cannondale touring bike and a trailer strong enough to hold Jack, all 45kgs of him. Her Cannondale didn't resemble Duster at all, with dropped handlebars like a racing bike, clip-in pedals, and my old nemesis, gears. Like a toddler being handed the keys to a semi-trailer, I nervously mounted the saddle and took her for a test spin into the countryside. With an aching back I arrived at a series of small hills, and once again I went up in high gear. With shortened breath and the onset of heart attack, it soon became clear I couldn't keep this up. The genius of the bike's design had the gear levers at the bottom of the dropped handlebar. I was having a hard enough time balancing in this new, awkward position, without reaching even further down. One attempt at changing gear had me veering wildly to the side, scuttling into a low hedge and landing in a field. Bruised and aching, I vowed to find a different style of bike.
With a lot of research and much persistence, I found my dream bike. Long-tailed, green, and with curves that could make a grown man blush. The 'Big Dummy', a new design from US frame manufacturer Surly, is made for heavy or cumbersome loads that would previously have required a bicycle trailer, or a car. Unlike some of the other utility bike options, it is one strong, solid piece of steel, yet still light enough to climb mountain ranges (as the guys from Riding the Spine proved, with their on/off-road adventure from Alaska to South America). Perfect. Unfortunately it seemed to be everyone else's dream bike too, and countless phone calls and emails around Europe, and the world led to the same answer. Sorry, sold out, a new batch is expected at the end of the year.
So my attention turned to the next best option, a second hand touring bike and another trailer. I became a regular on ebay, Dutch online marketplaces, Belgian classifieds, and UK cycle forums. The best of the bunch was a solid second hand Dutch 'Koga Miyata' touring bike on ebay. As good as new, perfect size, unpretentious black frame, leather Brooks saddle and some Ortlieb panniers to go with it. So I was thrilled to see off a last second bidding frenzy to 'win' the bike, at a massive discount from its retail price. Lady luck was smiling at me, it was meant to be. At least that's what I thought until I find out that lady luck was smiling to somebody over my shoulder, and the bike had been sold to someone else while I was organising the payment. Bitch.
Deflated, my new searches continued to hit dead end after dead end. Second hand touring bikes are not a big market it turns out. It seemed I would have to compromise and pay more than I wanted for a new bike with a setup that I wasn't entirely thrilled with. I test rode a new Santos Travelmaster, another Dutch bike, and it looked like the next best option. Zoa rode it as well, and suddenly realised that the Dutch might know a thing or two more than the Americans about designing a comfortable touring bike. So with time running out we were now in the position of neither of us having bikes for the trip, and also needing to sell one. Increasingly frantic, I returned to my search for the Big Dummy, calling lists of Surly dealers across the world. Same old story. Until, finally, magically, the golden ticket! A bike shop, (ironically in Zoa's hometown Van Couver, Canada) with 1 left in my size. Possibly the last available in the world.
For Zoa, the search was much easier. As long as she had butterfly handlebars and a shiny brass bell, I had artistic license to build the rest. With the carrying capacity of the Big Dummy and her trailer, a standard touring bike would be fine. I found a Surly 'Long Haul Trucker' frame closer to home in Germany. A rock solid, olive green, steel frame well up to the job. Screw it, if we were going to custom build one bike, may as well do two. Many hours of bleary eyed internet research later, second hand and discounted parts were coming in from all of Europe. It was hard to keep track of it all. One Sunday afternoon on a trip up the canal to the pub we met the Chimay Boys, Jan and Pascal. Pascal was flamboyant in his crisp white shirt, tight pants, colourful socks, pointy shoes, spiky hair, and shiny jewellery. Jan was quieter, a gentle giant, dressed in sandals, an old pair of shorts and a t-shirt covered in flecks of paint. A Belgian odd couple. They insisted they introduce us to their good friend 'Chimay Bleu', a 12% Abbey beer from near the border of Belgium and France. Many rounds later we had ended up getting to know them and their friend quite well. But then from the depths of my buzzing mind I remembered the back rack! I had a second hand back rack for Zoa ending any minute on ebay that I was hoping to make a last minute bid on. So I drained the last of Chimay, bid my friends adieu, and straight lined it down the canal as quickly as possible. (Ok, it wasn't quite a straight line, but I did pretty well not to end up in the canal either.) Fumbling with the keys while doing my pee jig, I rushed inside and turned on the computer, taking it into the toilet while it loaded up. Double relief. Still 15 minutes of bidding left. Another victory! I'd almost 'won' enough components for 2 whole bikes.
If you have ever set eyes upon a Belgian tourism brochure you could be forgiven for thinking their finest delicacies are beer, fries and chocolate. What they don't tell you is that across the nation hunched behind keyboards and counters in departments and office buildings, is an army of artisanal bureaucrats serving up the most delicious of Belgian bureaucracy fresh every day. 'I'm sorry, you cannot possibly receive a pension sir. The records state that you are officially dead'. 'I'm sorry madame, your passport shows you to be Ms Orböm, not the Ms Ms Orbom on your identity card, we cannot issue you a marriage license.' So with little time to spare I found myself clambering between the freight trucks and forklifts of Brussels airport being ping ponged from one department to another seeking THE STAMP that would release MY PRECIOUS!!! I studied his face as I handed over the growing mound of paperwork. Bald, creviced wrinkles, and sunken eyes. This one must have been here a while, maybe he can give me THE STAMP. Glancing up, he paused seeming to savour the moment, 'Only one person has the authority to stamp your form. He will be back in two hours.' Like a hungry Oliver Twist I naively asked if please sir, can you issue THE STAMP? He stared at me like I was requesting a kidney transplant and returned to his desk.
Before long the day of reckoning had arrived. With our lease finished, it was time to load everything we owned onto our bikes, and pedal into the sunset. But we were still a few sandwiches short of a picnic, 2 bikes short of a cycling trip. Lacking vital components, and some important gear, we gratefully took up the offer from our friends Colleen and Andre to camp in their backyard. It would give us a chance to finish off the bikes, organise our bags and panniers, and would be a fun, easy way to test out our new nylon house.
The following day we were welcomed into the garage of Reinoud, a Belgian cycling enthusiast with a taste for Surly's. Despite Zoa and Reinoud's wife being suspicious ('why on earth would a total stranger offer to build a bike for free?'), here we were with a frame and hopefully enough components to turn it into a bike. I came across Reinoud's posts on an internet forum, and after emailing back and forth for advice it was clear he knew his stuff. As a child he and his father would take in stray bikes to be stripped down and re-built. We watched as he built Zoa's bike with skill and a great attention to detail unmatched by most professional bicycle mechanics. A beautiful, shiny, sexy green machine was born. One down, one to go.
From then on a rain cloud settled over us, and the novelty of the pitter pattering on our tent roof soon washed away. We found small moments of entertainment reading the labels inside the tent. 'WARNING! Death by suffocation is possible… Possibility of falling rocks, tree limbs, lightning strikes, flash floods, avalanches, strong winds… Anchor your tent properly at all times to reduce the risk of loss or injury to the tent or occupants.' But as time dragged on we were becoming too involved in the lives of the slugs slithering across our tent roof – dwelling too long on which constellations their silhouettes reminded us of, and spending too much time discussing their cultural habits and projected slide paths. Having seen The Shining several times I knew a thing or two about cabin fever, the axes and the bloodshed. Without any firm walls to throw a tennis ball up against, it appeared that tent fever was already well on the way. What had we gotten ourselves into?!? Suddenly the vision of a carefree, wandering life was become a nightmare.
Luckily, before any blood was spilt, or deaths from suffocation, we got the call we were waiting for. My precious had been put together by the local bike shop, and was ready to pick up. After screwing a perfectly sized basket onto the snap deck we strapped Paco in and cycled away, relieved to be finally moving towards brighter horizons. On the first corner the snap deck lived up to its name, snapping off, sending Paco and his basket on a way flight to the ground. Shaken but unfazed, with a few reinforcement straps Paco the Test Pilot was happy to get back in, and the adventure was ready to begin.

Tahoe recipe: Rick Rucker's best-ever stove-top apple pie
Special to the Bonanza
I have not received a recipe form my good friend Rick Rucker in quite some time. In fact, I haven't heard from him in months.
Could it be he is just busy? After all, he is GM at the Hampton Inn and Suite Truckee-Tahoe, and he is just coming off one jam-packed season and heading into another.
Or could it be he is miffed because I keep bringing my camera to his dinner parties, setting up, getting my shot, and then forcing his guests to eat a cold meal?
This Rucker-less existence has become even more problematic now that we are in the holiday/baking season. This is the man who brought us the date cake, a killer banana loaf, bread pudding — need I go on?
Fortunately, after experiencing his apple pie, I had the recipe laminated and filed right next to his "Heads on Butter and Pepper Shrimp" recipe.
I would never have found it if I hadn't been theming my Monday night football menu to reflect the competing teams' heritage and needed a New Orleans' Saints entree. That evening, my guests were treated to shrimp and pie, and everyone was a winner. Except the Saints.
There are a couple of cool things about this pie, the first being the sprinkling of apple cider vinegar and the second being its stove top preparation pre-baking. Everyone who has ever had this apple pie has thrown out Grandma's favorite and switched teams.
2 tbls. unsalted butter
2 1/2 pounds of apples (five large Honey crisps will do the trick) peeled and cored, then cut into wedges
1/4 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
2/3 cups sugar, plus 1 tbls.
2 tbls. flour
2 tsp. cornstarch
1 tbls. apple cider vinegar
juice of 1/2 a lemon
1 egg lightly beaten
Pastry for double crust pie.
Whisk together spices, salt and 2/3 cup sugar and set aside. Melt butter in large sauté pan over medium heat. Add apples to the pan, stir to coat. Sprinkle spice/sugar mixture and over apples, lower heat and cook (stirring) for 5 to 7 minutes.
Sprinkle flour and cornstarch over all and continue cooking another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add vinegar and lemon juice stir and scrape all into bowl to cool.
Fill pastry lined 9-inch pie pan with fruit mixture; put on and adjust top crust. Seal and flute the edge. Cover edge of pie with foil. Brush top crust with egg wash and sprinkle on 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes and then remove foil from crust edge, reduce temperature to 375 degrees and continue baking for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool two hours before serving.

As a parent, you're going to have so many questions regarding your child's safety, education, and social life. Here at The Children's Workshop, we try to help answer any of those questions you may have! Once a month on The Rhode Show, our experts take questions from our students' parents and we answer them on air. Watch our latest Modern Parent Q&A here.
"I feel like I'm getting ahead of myself by looking already, but when is the right time to start looking into summer camps and programs for my children?"
- – Anytime is a good time to start asking about camps and start looking! Day camps and childcare facilities tend to fill up quickly.
- – You want to jot down a few places that you are interested in and go by to visit.
- Have a list of questions ready such as:
- – How is your philosophy integrated into your programs?
- – What is your teacher to child ratio? (Which means how many children per adult.)
- – Are there back ground checks on staff?
- – Are they trained to be with children?
Having questions ready will help you decide where you would like your child (children) to attend.
"My friends have children who are already involved in sports and they're only 3 years old. Is that too soon or should I have started my kids already, also?"
- – The best thing to keep in mind is that toddlers/preschoolers are just starting to master movements. Such as running, climbing, catching and swimming.
- – You want your child to be able to master activities and succeed/not to get frustrated. More free play activities such as tumble class and running activities are good at this age.
– 6-9 years old generally do well at gymnastics, soccer, t-ball, swimming, etc. This does not mean you can't start your child sooner. Every child develops at their own pace. So just because your neighbors friend has their child in football does not mean that your child is ready, or is even interested. Try a variety of sports in the beginning to see what peaks your child's interest and go from there.
"I'm concerned with the lack of time children spend playing outdoors nowadays. Is a deduction in recess time happening at all schools and if so, how can we act against it?"
- – Yes, this is true in the elementary and higher grades.
- – If your child attends an Early Learning facility or Afterschool program, you can bet that they are still getting enough outdoor time.
- – Check with your child's school and ask how many times they engage in outdoor activities and ask when recess is and for how long. (Both school and Early Learning Facilities.)
- – If you do not like the answer, join the PTA or Parent committee to voice your concerns. You might just help the time frame of outdoor time!
- – Another alternative is to enroll your child in an outdoor sport where they get plenty of time outside!
- "I'd like to get to know my daughter's potential teachers for next year and their expectations. How do I go about setting up a time to meet them?"
- – First, if your child attends an early learning facility, speak with the Director and ask who your child's teacher will be next year.
- – Next, find out when the best time is to sit down with them and speak about the upcoming year.
- If your child attends private or public school:
- – Send an email to your current child's teacher asking if they know how you can reach out to your child's teacher for next year?
- – Set up an appointment to speak with the Principal about how you can meet your child's teacher for the following year.
- – Most public schools do not know the next year teacher until mid-summer, so this may not be easy in public/private school.
- – If your child has an IEP you may find out early who their teacher will be.
If your child attends an early learning facility you do get spoiled knowing all the teachers and personal in the building because you pick up and drop off or at least one of the two. When your child attends elementary school, the parent to teacher face-to-face tends to dwindle. Try to keep the line of communication open, ask questions, and be involved and you just might find your answers out sooner than you thought you could.
If you have a question you would like answered during our Modern Parent Q&A segment, email email@example.com!

You came up in conversation today.
That doesn't happen much anymore;
It's for the best, I suppose.
I can't recall the exact question,
But my response was this,
"there isn't a day that goes by that she doesn't cross my mind".
I followed up with, "I guess when you love someone that deeply,
it's just always there".
Truth is, there will always be a piece of my heart that belongs to you.
You came up in conversation today.

Count Your Mistakes As A Blessing.
Making mistakes is one of life's true blessings…
Do not envy those who seemingly breeze through life, instead, feel sad for them – you can only grow and evolve within yourself through making mistakes, and, of course, learning from them. That's the key ingredient – to learn, it's where the magic lies.
Those who always make the 'right' decision, are stagnant – missing the beauty that emerges from the harshness of reality, and the joys of growing through the pain.
Knowing you've overcome difficult challenges, makes you appreciate life in it's true essence…
You can only understand the depths of what is right, good and joyous, if you first understand the contrast of wrong, bad, and miserable. Others will happily tell you, you're about to make a mistake, but until you've experienced it for yourself, the lessons have not been learned, and the contrast cannot be cultivated.
So, the next time you make a mistake, do not berate yourself, instead, learn, grow and blossom from the depths of attained wisdom – the hidden gem just waiting to be found.
If you've found a blessing in a mistake you've made, I'd love to hear about it in the comments.
P.s Don't forget to hit the follow button if you've enjoyed this post.
Thanks for reading.

8 Best Spa Dates For Couples On Valentine's Day In Dubai
If you're looking to indulge with your loved one this Valentine's, we recommend one of these luxe couple's treatments. And relax…
WHAT: Bee My Honey
WHERE: SensAsia Urban Spa
THE DEAL: Dhs1,140 for 120 mins; second session half-price
One of our top local haunts, you're always made to feel at home at SensAsia. And tell the man in your life not to be terrified by the prospect of emasculation by rose water during this treatment as instead of the organic pyjama party vibe one might expect, it's all dark woods and comfy chairs. The treatment – a honey-based body polish, a warm milk, honey, black sesame and almond oil wrap plus a 60-minute full-body massage – is designed to pack in all the exfoliating and moisturising goodness possible into two sweet hours, and it does a very good job! Once your masseuse scrubs you down, you're wrapped up and rubbed until every last kink and knot is gone. We all know Valentine's Day is one of the most stressful dates on a couple's calendar, so somewhere in which both parties can be pampered with zero distractions is a definite win/win.
INFO: 10am-10pm, 04 422 7115, www.sensasiaspas.com
WHAT: Couple's Retreat Package
WHERE: Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah
HOW MUCH : Dhs1,695, 110 mins
The perfect custom-made treatment, on arrival at the spa you're first asked to select your fave scent from Serge Lutens' range – he's one of the world's premier perfume gurus. We love his Fleurs d'Oranger scent and you can get to sample it here as they spray a little into the massage oil. The treatment takes place in one of Dubai's poshest spa suites, complete with matching massage beds, a private sauna, a steam cubicle and a Jacuzzi, and are carried out by a male therapist (for him) and a female therapist (for you). Don't be concerned about disrobing in front of a male stranger as your modesty is preserved at all times with towels in all the right places! Proceedings kick off with a footbath, followed by a vigorous body scrub and a shared shower, and conclude with a very gentle massage for you and a firmer one for him. Couples then have the option of spending the remainder of the time making use of the suite's facilities.
INFO: 10am-9pm, 04 818 2222, waldorfastoria3.hilton.com/en/index.html
WHAT: Amara Couples' Journey
WHERE: Amara Spa, Park Hyatt
THE DEAL: Dhs3,000, 180 mins
Stepping into the luxe Amara Spa is an experience in itself. Set amid the calm of the private courtyards, you and your significant other are led to a lush private garden to commence the treatment with a delicate rose petal hand and foot ritual. Following this, it really gets going with a 30-minute coffee and cardamom scrub designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite before you're both wrapped up tightly in a sandalwood and rosewater body wrap. Next up is the 60-minute massage, which comprises everything form Balinese and Hawaiian techniques to a satisfying Thai stretch before finishing with a one-hour phyto-aromatic facial. Talk about a full-body experience! You're then left to relax on the private terrace with a selection for spa cuisine. Stretching, relaxation and food – what more could you want from a three-hour spa experience? We're hard pushed to think!
INFO: 9am-10pm, 04 602 1234, dubai.park.hyatt.com
WHAT: Ultimate Diamond Experience
WHAT: The Address Downtown Dubai
HOW MUCH: Dhs2,800, 180 minutes
For those of you who have a bit of spare cash to splurge on the definitive pampering session, this one's for you! For the lady of the couple, the Ultimate Diamond Experience is a super-luxurious full-body scrub made from actual crushed diamonds. This bling-bling treatment is said to unlock energies that revitalise the body and uses neodymium magnets, which sounds very scientific but feels amazing. Next, enjoy a super-relaxing massage with Diamond Body, a silky hydrating and firming body cream. After feeling completely relaxed the experience ends with a facial, so you look as good as you feel. For the male it's the City Escape treatment that gets our vote with an ocean salt body exfoliation, facial and massage. Three hours might be too long for some people to stay lying down but being rubbed down with jewels is OK by us. Diamonds really are a girl's best friend!
INFO: 9am-10pm, 04 436 8755, theaddress.com/en/hotels/the-address-downtown-dubai
WHAT: Falling for You
WHERE: Talise Ottoman Spa, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray
HOW MUCH: Dhs3,800, 120 mins
The award-winning Talise Ottoman Spa is offering a 360-degree romantic experience for those really looking to impress, so much so that it even starts with a red-carpet entrance direct to the couples floor. From here you're led to your own private room (complete with a Jacuzzi and sauna, FYI!) and served bubbles and strawberries while you sit back and prepare to relax. A bespoke experience, you and your loved one can choose to opt for a soothing massage or the two-hour 'blue refresh' hammam treatment – as it houses the Middle East's biggest hammam facilities, we thoroughly recommend this option! Finish up with canapés and refreshments in the couples' majlis and leave with an exclusive personalised couples' gift. What more could you want?
INFO: 9am-9.30pm, 04 453 0456, jumeirah.com/en/hotels-resorts/dubai/jumeirah-zabeel-saray
WHAT: Couple's Ritual
WHERE: The Oberoi Spa
HOW MUCH: Dhs1,400, 90 mins
A relatively new Dubai spa, The Oberoi has one of the most comfortable couples' suites with standalone bathtub, washroom and steam room. Choose between three aromatic oils for your massage – we recommend the fragrant lemon and ylang-ylang – which is delivered through a series of gentle strokes that allow you to fall into a semi-slumber. Then enjoy a choice of fruit juice, water or ginger tea before spending a little time soaking in the milk and rose petal bath.
INFO: open 24 hours a day, 04 444 1410, www.oberoihotels.com/hotels-in-dubai
WHAT: Dubai Romance
WHERE: Anantara The Palm Resort & Spa
HOW MUCH: Dhs1,200 for 120 mins
This Asian-inspired sanctuary blends Thai tradition with Arabian mystique, and as soon as you enter the spa you're transported to an Eastern heaven. The treatment starts with a relaxing floral foot ritual before you're moved to the sauna and steaming herbal bath complete with Jacuzzi and rose petals and left to relax for 20 minutes. Once you've showered and changed into disposable underwear, lie back and enjoy an Arabian massage before retiring to the relaxation room for refreshments. It's a truly indulgent escape!
INFO: 10am-10pm, 04 567 8140, dubai-palm.anantara.com
What: Couples' massage and rejuvenating facial
Where: ESPA, One&Only Royal Mirage Dubai
How much: Dhs1,900, 120 mins
This lush treatment takes place amid your very own private haven. A selection of oils is on the menu and after making your choice, you'll unwind to the tinkering of blissful sounds from the East. Beginning with the massage, you'll hover somewhere between the real world and the land of nod and 50 minutes later you'll be briefly awoken to a facial to get you glowing for the night ahead. The next thing you'll be conscious of is being roused from your state of relaxation when it's all over. Unlike a typical couples' treatment, you're pampered in separate rooms, but this gives a universal feel-good factor which can be enjoyed by yourself and your significant other before you hit the town.
INFO: 10am-9pm, 04 440 1040, royalmirage.oneandonlyresorts.com

The Apple Watch 3 has just broken cover and it sported a feature that the Apple faithful have been expecting since the Apple Watch 2: LTE connectivity. But that added functionality doesn't come without a figurative cost and the biggest hit is on the battery. Apple knows too well that it will be users' primary concern, so it put up a dedicated web page for the Apple Watch 3's 18 hour battery life. Or 1 hour, depending on how you use it.
Apple has always had a devil may care attitude when it comes to the Apple Watch's battery. It was one of the biggest criticisms of the Apple Watch, and the company simply brushed it off as "you'll just charge it every night anyway". It instead worked on making charging the watch as painless as possible so you wouldn't mind it.
With LTE connectivity, those concerns are bound to resurface, so Apple is taking preemptive action. The general message is that the Apple Watch 3 will last you "all day", but not "until the night". But there are some caveats that cut down those 18 hours faster.
If you play music for 10 hours via Bluetooth, you'll find the Apple Watch reaching 0 even before you get home. Working out in the great outdoors with GPS on nets you only 5 hours. Turn on LTE while you're at it and you'll only get 4. And if you talk on your wrist via LTE directly, you'll be cut off from your conversation on the 1-hour mark.
Of course, that's pretty much expected and no one will probably use their Apple Watch 3 that way for hours straight. Bottom line is that your LTE use is going to add up and eventually catch up with you. Good thing, then, that it'll only take 1.5 hours for the Apple Watch to charge up to 80%, or 2 hours to full.

RVNG Of The NRDS Vol. 10 - Pilooski
- Side A (33rpm):
- A2. OOO (locked groove)
- Side B
- Etching
In the end there were ten. On the final installment in our Rvng of the Nrds 12" series, Parisian patriarch of the edit Pilooski wanders into the dark heart of a Jamaican jungle jam. Birds of paradise squawk and squeak over a ghostly female lament while an echo chambered guitar riff crescendos into haunting hammond swells and a bouncy bass dirge. The one-sided 12" locks on a tumbling tabla and mystic's moan. The b-side features an etching inspired by the whip cream pie scene in Revenge of the Nerds. It's a joke that five people will get. But that's ok, because in the end, the joke was on us. S'ank you, very much.

It can be said that definitional imprecision leads to theoretical confusion, and nowhere more plainly than in institutional history, where two key terms—institutions and organizations—are used by many historians as essentially synonymous. Meanwhile, new institutional economists who delve deeply into economic history see the concepts as terms of art: institutions are the "rules of the game" or "equilibria" whereas organizations are agents that seek to optimize scarce resources and otherwise operate within their institutional constraints.
In this essay, I argue that a new institutional history represents a challenge to both definitional approaches. Without doing so explicitly, a new generation of institutional historians have profitably explored institutions as both organizations and rules, neither too closely wedded with a single organizational entity nor lost in the long and slow change of the rules over millennia. Historians have begun to see how formal and informal rules that govern politics, society, and the economy change through organizations in both short bursts and over long horizons. The key insight is that this new institutional history can build a theoretically robust methodology that can take its place among the other historiographic subdisciplines, whether business, political, economic, cultural, social, legal, or intellectual history.

The Ashtree Collection, a prestigious car company based in the West Midlands specialising in the sourcing, sale, transportation and storage of high-end vehicles for discerning car enthusiasts and private collectors.
Owned and operated by Simon Cassidy and Charles Bailey, the story behind our company is as unique as the vehicles we deal in.
Our story first began in 2017 when we were approached by a private collector to manage his extensive and exceptional collection. We are self-confessed petrol heads with a lifelong love for all things automotive and having worked in the vehicle industry for the majority of our careers, we were trusted to both manage and enhance the collection.
Since inception, we have been asked by like-minded collectors to sell and acquire vehicles on their behalf, which we have carried out with great success.
Offering exceptional quality and superior service, the business has naturally evolved from focusing purely on one collection to now acquiring and marketing cars for other collectors and enthusiasts.
Our aim is to foster long-lasting relationships and partnerships with like-minded people who share our passion for all things car!

Shannen Doherty Joins Fox's '90210' Reboot
Brenda Walsh is headed back to Beverly Hills.
Shannen Doherty will rejoin her Beverly Hills, 90210 co-stars in Fox's reboot that is set to premiere in the summer.
The six-episode "event series," with a truncated title of BH90210, is something of a meta-reboot: Doherty, Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling are all playing "heightened versions of themselves," as Fox describes it, as the cast decides to attempt to mount a reboot of the iconic teen soap.
Doherty played Brenda Walsh for the first four seasons of Beverly Hills, 90210, departing the show in 1994, and reprised the role for several episodes of The CW's 90210 sequel in 2008-09. She went on to star in Kevin Smith's Mallrats and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and James Franco's film Bukowski, as well as on the WB series Charmed. She recently reprised her role from the cult film Heathers on Paramount Network's ill-fated series adaptation.
The newly independent Fox announced the revival in late February after the network won a bidding war over other outlets for the project.
Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier name-checked 90210 when he made his first public remarks about his direction for the broadcast network at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour. "[W]ith respect to all the IP in our history, if we could honor it, we take the legacy of Fox very seriously, from Melrose [Place] to 90210 to 24. All of these franchises, if we could do it right and with the support of great writing, we'd take a serious look at a lot of it," he said.
At the time the project was announced, Doherty and Luke Perry were the only two members of the core cast not attached. Perry, who was a series regular on The CW's Riverdale, died of a stroke in early March, prompting outpourings of love from his former co-stars.
Here is Fox's logline for BH90210: "Having gone their separate ways since the original series ended 19 years ago, Shannen, Jason, Jennie, Ian, Gabrielle, Brian and Tori reunite when one of them suggests it's time to get a Beverly Hills, 90210 reboot up and running. But getting it going may make for an even more delicious soap than the reboot itself. What will happen when first loves, old romances, friends and frenemies come back together, as this iconic cast — whom the whole world watched grow up together — attempts to continue from where they left off?"
All seven stars will serve as executive producers of BH90210, along with writers Chris Alberghini and Mike Chessler, who worked on The CW's 90210 and conceived the idea with Garth and Spelling. Patrick Sean Smith is also an exec producer. The show is a co-production of CBS TV Studios, which produced the Darren Star-created original, and Fox Entertainment.

Contemporary England: July 2 - 7, 2016
Itinerary: 6 days, 7 nights at $2,580
(not including airfare and insurance)
London: Arrive July 2, 2016
Day 1, July 2: Orientation and Residence Check-in
Once in London, our program guide(s) will be waiting in anticipation at the airport to greet you. We will then travel by bus or "the tube" to central London where we will check in to our hotel or shared residence. To recover from your disorientation, you will meet the other students and program guides for a welcome orientation. We will do introductions, icebreakers, and talk about the nuts and bolts of traveling in Europe with particular attention to cultural issues and safety protocols. To gather your bearings a bit more, we will then take a light stroll to dinner where you will be given your GoPros along with video-training to help you get the most out of your experience abroad.
Day 2, July 3: Learning to Communicate and 'Read' People: Improv and the Power of Story-telling
Theatre has served as a cultural underpinning for Western society. The rich history of theatre in England is celebrated on your first full day in beautiful London.
Breakfast begins at one of the city's most iconic morning gathering places. We take the group to Hyde Park across the street and engage in a learning experience that allows students to understand the importance of communication and story-telling.
Storytelling is how we create our world and the world around us; it is the set of scripts that help shape our identities. In our attempts to better understand the world we live in, however, improvisational techniques will provide us with the tools to not only tell stories but, more importantly, listen to stories, especially when they are different from our own. What happens when we have to go off script, leaving our own perspective to inhabit the perspective of an other?
Our team's Go-Pros are buzzing. At the end of the day, our best story-telling performances will be posted on Culture Academy TV.
We continue to The Globe Theatre for a matinee performance then have a casual dinner at Nandos and finish the day at the legendary Southwark Playhouse.
Day 3, July 4: Understanding Difference through Anthropological Eyes
Anthropology represents a scientific and historically informed view of what happened to make us the way we are today. Going to tourist sites often misses the entire story. The day begins with a presentation in how we understand and create difference by looking towards our past. Instead of taking a bus to Big Ben however, we continue with an unexpected but strikingly valuable tour of the bathrooms from the Knights Templar. Yes, bathrooms and, more specifically, "toilets" – those things that make you want to wash your hands the minute you hear the word or the filthy sound of the flush (or even worse, hearing no sound at all). Why do we consider some things dirty, abnormal, and dangerous while other things are clean and safe? Through the history of toilets, students will have a chance to discover London by exploring our daily rituals and lifestyles.
To further our understanding of diversity and difference, students will have a chance to explore London's vibrant art collections at the Tate Modern. After, we will walk to The Laughing Gravy restaurant to taste delicious seasonal London cuisine!
Day 4, July 5: What's so high about High Tea? Inventing Britain through colonialism
Students will begin the day with sugar at a nearby bakery to delve into the history of the British Empire. From the Protestant Reformation to Colonialism to the practice of High Afternoon Tea, we will go beyond the common, grandiose stories of Britain's historical dominance to explore its part in proliferating violence and inventing race and "high society." Throughout the day we will demonstrate a very different story of British power while visiting sites marking the history of the Reformation and the Industrial Revolution.
We will then engage the students in the ritual of High Afternoon Tea once they understand the dramatic past that has led to this very pleasant practice.
Day 5, July 6: Are they British? Multiculturalism in Britain and Europe
London is one of the most, if not the most, multicultural cities in the world. Today, we will explore the rise and fall of the British Empire, which has led to London's very diverse society. We will take students on an exploration of various London neighborhoods such as Soho, Chinatown, and historic Spitafields in the East End to probe into topics such as diversity, immigration, integration, and racism.
For lunch, we will walk to Brick Lane to see the thousands of Indian restaurants and indulge in the delicious food.
Day 6, July 7: Trip to Oxford
A trip to London for high school students is not complete without a visit to the University of Oxford. Students will take a tour of the campus followed by an afternoon hike with views of the surrounding town and charming villages.

Good Morning!
After staring at this cute little face behind a glass door yesterday I knew Maddie needed an extra special treat this morning.
Look at that face! Doesn't your heart just melt?
I leashed Maddie up and took her on a quick 3 mile run around the neighborhood. She was in running heaven! Even when we had to stop to wait for lights she was ready to keep moving forward. We sprinted he last quarter mile and something tells me she could have sprinted the full 3 miles without a problem. 🙂
Of course, now she is passed out on her doggie bed and refuses to move a muscle. But, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. 😉
Once we made it back to the condo, I made a quick bowl of cereal.
Derek's parents made it out to the Strawberry Festival yesterday and were kind enough to bring us back 1/2 a flat of freshly picked strawberries. I froze half and have the remaining half to enjoy for the remainder of the week. Nothing like fresh strawberries that were picked mere miles from your front door. 🙂
In the bowl
- 1/2 cup Cinnamon Cheerios
- 1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean Crisp
- 1/4 cup Go Nuts Granola
- Vanilla Yogurt
- Strawberries
Such a fresh and delicious meal. 🙂
Whose ready for Monday? Here goes nothing!

Russian developer Sistema-Hals has returned to the black.
It made a net profit of $8.6m (£4.9m) in the first half of the year compared with a loss of $99.57m (£56.8m) last year.
The company, which counts former MP John Gummer and former chairman of Coca-Cola Douglas Daft among its board of directors, also saw revenue growth of 75% rising to $227.1m (£129m) for the fist half up from $129m (£73.7m) for the same period last year.
The company said growth was driven by sales - including that of the Rochdelskaya 22 project, a 150,000 sq ft office scheme in Moscow valued at $17.5m (£10m). It also said revenue came from fees from municipal governments, including those of Moscow and St Petersburg as well as revenue from asset management fees.
Its property portfolio was valued by Cushman & Wakefield Stiles & Riabokobylko at $3.768bn (£2.15bn) – virtually unchanged on earlier.
Sergey Shmakov, CEO of Sistema-Hals, said: 'As part of the on-going rebalancing of the portfolio we have made a number of important project acquisitions, but at the same time we have also sold some non-core assets and as a result, the uplift in valuation of the portfolio has been less than in previous periods.'

This is one of our perennial favorites when choosing a DAC to test out a system. It can literally transform a sub-$500 CD player to sound like a $1500 (if not more) CD player when taking its digital output and running it through the A3.24 DAC. There is an improved soundstage, better detail retrieval and a more "lively" step to the music. At its original $1200 MSRP, it was an awesome value proposition to enhance the sound of your system. Simple push button on the rear allows switching between 96KHz and 192KHz which was very convenient when you want to upsample.
Cosmetically, the unit looks really good. A small knick on the faceplate (you can see it in the picture) is the only "major" blemish on an otherwise well taken care off unit. Manual is available online. We will securely pack this for safe shipping.
