Text messages may help to remind healthcare workers in rural Africa about the importance of adhering to national malaria treatment guidelines, new research suggests.
Scientists at the Kenya Medical Research Institute-Wellcome Tryst Research Programme in Nairobi sent twice-daily text messages to health workers' personal mobile phones for six months.
Messages included information from the national guidelines, as well as inspirational quotes such as 'Persistent work triumphs'.
The system was found to improve health workers' provision of correct care to patients with malaria by 25 per cent.
The number of patients who received prompt anti-malarial treat increased, as did the proportion who were given appropriate information on how to take their remaining medication at home.
Lead study author Dr Dejan Zurovac, whose findings are published in the Lancet medical journal, said: 'This trial, the first one using text messaging to target health workers' behaviour in developing countries, has shown that a simple intervention like SMS can improve health workers' adherence to malaria treatment guidelines by 25 per cent.'
The researcher added that text messages should be used alongside traditional approaches, such as training and supportive supervision.
Figures from the World Health Organisation show that nearly one million people - mainly children in Africa - died as a result of malaria in 2008, despite the disease being both preventable and curable.

Lou's Most Excellent Steaked Salad
I'm trying to watch it with not just how much I'm eating, but what it is that's actually going down my gullet. Two chins are enough.
Change gears here. I love red meat. Steak, BBQ, burgers, anyway that you cook a cow I'm likely to like. The problem with red meat is this little thing called saturated fats, which leads to a host of problems later on in life as I'm oh so slowly (and sometimes quickly) finding out.
Come the Italians to the rescue, and it's not olive oil or anything Mediterranean mind you. God I love my ancestral country. They've got an answer for everything. Piedmontese Beef. I'm telling you, the first time that Pam The Butcher at Wagshal's told me about it I didn't believe it. Pointing to an ink jet print out on the display case I figured it was fraudlent. How can beef - prime beef at that - be lower in saturated fats, cholesterol, etc. The way it's told is that it's better for you than skinless chicken breasts. The cows are bred to be leaner, and the way they're fed, managed, etc. leads to a leaner cut...even when that cut is considered prime by USDA standards.
None of this makes sense. But I'm buying it because a) it tastes great and b) we'll know soon enough as soon as I get my cholesterol tested again.
And yes, the shit ain't cheap. Sorry. NY strips run around $25/pound (which is what prime usually goes for) while sirloin is around $18/lb. But how much is your health worth? [You obviously don't have to use Piedmontese beef here - any good quality NY strip will work.]
Steak Salad - a good, healthy, and satisfying one at that. Serves two.
1 one pound trimmed, Piedmontese NY strip
2 TBS Montreal steak seasoning*
1 TBS canola oil
6oz of your favorite bagged/packaged salad mix (spinach/frisee/arugula/mache)
1 good tomato, cut into eighths.
1 small shallot, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 TBS extra virgin olive oil
1 TSP high quality balsamic vinegar
1 TBS really stinky blue cheese, finely crumbled
Salt & pepper
*You can usually buy this prepackaged in the spice aisle. If you don't have any, as I didn't, mix your own using 2 TBS of sea salt, 1 TBS coarse ground black pepper, 2 TSP crushed red pepper flakes, 1 TSP cracked fennel seed, 1 TSP dried garlic, 1 TSP hot paprika, 1 TSP dried rosemary and 1 TSP dried thyme.
Two hours before serving, take the steak out, rinse and pat dry, and then generously coat with the steak seasoning. Set the steak on a wire rack and let sit at room temperature, uncovered and undisturbed, for two hours.
Preheat your oven to 400 F.
Rinse and dry your lettuce mix. Set in fridge to keep cool.
Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 - 7 minutes. You want this searingly hot. Meanwhile....
In a large bowl add the olive oil, balsamic, shallot, garlic, a generous pinch of salt and more-than-a-few cranks of fresh black pepper. Vigorously mix with a whisk.
Add the canola oil to the pan, wait till it shimmers, then add the steak. It should immediately sizzle to the point where you feel slightly uncomfortable being near it and/or questioning my judgement. Cook about 2 minutes on the first side, flip, then place the pan in the oven. Cook in the oven for about 4 minutes. This will give you a rare steak, which is what you (should) want. Remove the pan from the oven and set aside, steak still in the pan.
Add the salad to the dressing and lightly toss to coat. Add the tomato and blue cheese crumbles and fold in. Set the salad into large bowls.
Slice the steak to your desired thinness (thin works better than than thick). Place on top and enjoy.
Goes good with a nice crusty bread; you could even make a sub out of the whole mix. A wrap too.

Yumm. Adega makes a solid steak salad, and Walter's marinade on the steak is amazing. Can't wait to try your marinade ... after the snow melts, sometime in July.ReplyDelete

20+ years I've been a Vegetarian.ReplyDelete
Still, this sounds darn good.
I wish I lived at your house.
Thanks guys - it's super easy and if I can slightly turn a vegetarian's head I'm doing something right.ReplyDelete
I think what adds to it is not only a lot of shallot, but the seasoning from the beef being turned into the salad. GIves it a nice oomph.
This was one of the best salad / steak combos I ever had...Lou thought it was the seasoning that the steak gave to the salad. I dunno what it was, but I wish I was having it for lunch!ReplyDelete
That steak looks like it is cooked PERFECTLY. I personally would go with less time on the steak, but I love my steak blue rare (as long as it is a good cut.)ReplyDelete

Men's Basketball Visits Binghamton on Wednesday Night in Final Regular Season Stretch
Men's Basketball Visits Binghamton on Wednesday Night in Final Regular Season Stretch
Fox Sports 980
Twitter: @UAlbany_MBB
ALBANY, N.Y. – University at Albany men's basketball (13-13, 7-6 AE) plays the first of its final three regular season games at Binghamton (6-19, 3-9 AE) on Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN3 from the Events Center in Vestal, N.Y.
UAlbany emerged from a two-game losing skid to down Maine 74-63 at SEFCU Arena on Saturday afternoon. Peter Hooley scored 21 points for the second consecutive game and sixth time this season in the win, and also dished out five assists. DJ Evans scored 15 points or more for the first time since tallying 22 at New Hampshire on Jan. 23. The senior also had five assists. John Puk led the team with seven rebounds.
The Great Danes are now 11-0 this season when scoring 70 points or more.
Will Brown and his coaching staff also wore sweatsuits against the Black Bears in support of Coaches Cure Cystic Fibrosis. The Great Danes will continue the trend against the Bearcats.
Binghamton's leading scorer Jordan Reed did not make the trip to SEFCU Arena on Jan. 20, and UAlbany won 66-60. Peter Hooley had 17 points to lead all scorers, while freshman Dallas Ennema scored a season-high 12 points with seven rebounds against the Bearcats. Senior center John Puk had nine points and seven rebounds in the win.
The Great Danes ceded an America East game-high 22 free throws to the Bearcats on 23 personal fouls. Meanwhile Will Brown's squad went a league-game low 55.6% (15-27) from the free throw line.
Gary Johnson has scored at least 10 points in his last 10 games. The senior forward also matched his career high in rebounds against UMBC with seven.
Senior center John Puk has recorded at least one block in 10 of his last 12 games, including a career-high five against UMBC on Jan. 8. Puk also had four blocks at UMBC on Feb. 12, totaling nine against the Retrievers this season.
Dallas Ennema has made at least one three-point field goal in seven of his last eight games. The freshman had three threes against Maine on Feb. 15 for nine points.
UAlbany beat Maine 74-63 on Saturday afternoon, but the Great Danes also helped the Coaches Cure Cystic Fibrosis cause with a win of its own.
With the help of a silent auction, 50/50 Raffle, the SEFCU Money Machine and matching donations, as well as individual contributions from fans, UAlbany men's basketball helped generate nearly $ 5,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Northeastern New York Chapter.
The event, run by UAlbany alumni Brian Fessler and Casey Crandall, featured Bruce Springsteen tickets, a Saratoga Raceway package, a weekend at the Dippikill Wilderness Retreat and autographed merchandise from UAlbany's all-time leading scorer, Jamar Wilson at the silent auction.
• The series between UAlbany and Binghamton is tied 13-13 in the America East era. The Great Danes have won seven-straight in the series leading up to their 27th meeting in the league.
• After losing nine of their first 10 America East games, the Bearcats have gotten back on track with wins against Maine (73-58) and at New Hampshire (72-71 OT).
• Binghamton's win at New Hampshire in overtime was the team's first on the road in conference and third overall.
• Marlon Beck II was chosen as the league's Rookie of the Week following his heroic efforts in the team's win over New Hampshire. The freshman hit three free throws with 4.6 seconds to go to force the game into overtime. He also scored five points in the overtime period to seal the win. Beck has been named the America East Rookie of the Week three times this season, and is averaging 3.4 assists per game in league play.
• Three Bearcats are averaging double-figures in conference play, including Jordan Reed (13.0 ppg), Yosef Yacob (11.8 ppg) and Nick Madray (10.5 ppg). Reed is also averaging 7.7 rebounds per game against league opponents.

As we all know, this week in April is a very special, very sacred holiday for many around the country.
Thats right, earlier this week was International Pet Day. A "chance for those of us who own pets to show them how much we love them". Totally not a fluke that I bought the dog biscuit mix before I found out that this week was international pet day. Not a fluke at all.
But! On this Good Friday, as a gift to those choosing not to eat meat on this day, I'm not going to parade photo after photo of delicious forbidden chicken under your nose, instead we're giving this week's attempt to the dogs. One dog, in particular.
Everyone, meet Molly. Aka. "Molly Moo", aka. "Mooza".
As well as being a dog, she will be the guinea pig for today's special attempt.
On a lazy afternoon's browse of eBay, I stumbled upon this...
Basically it's a powdered dog biscuit mix. Powdered Chicken Parma flavoured dog biscuit mix. Stir it up with some oil and water, cut out the bickies, put them in the oven and voila! Instant doggy treats.
The instructions seem simple enough...
The ingredients seem to tick all the boxes. Chicken stock, dehydrated ham, powdered cheese and dehydrated veggies, which I'm calling as the napoli .
Although in 299 reviews I can't remember trying a parma with crushed kelp. But what the hell ... Let's do it!
As you may be aware these "Cooking with ParmaDaze" segments are usually quite picture heavy, and this one will be no exception.
First up the mix went into the bowl -
Followed by the oil and water -
And mix!
The result is a ball of dough, laid out on a slightly floured surface -
Rolled flat with a rolling pin -
I'm not sure if the thing I found in the drawer was supposed to be used as a cookie cutter, but it was the only thing I had that resembled a cookie cutter. It did the job -
Followed by laying the cookies out on an oven tray. There was enough dough to make a few more, but my tray was full and this was more than enough for the review.
At this point the cookies went into the oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.
The Doggo waited patiently for her treats...
And 20 minutes later they were done!
We waited for them to cool down for safety, then the moment of truth was upon us. Would my faithful companion enjoy chicken parmas as much as I do? Or would I have to disown her first thing in the morning?
I captured the first taste on video -
Success! She inhaled that thing and was keen for more. The Mix & Bake parma bickie was a complete success.
However, my job was not yet complete.
I'm the parma guy. It's my mission to try every parma that is available. It became clear while I was kneading the dough that I was going to have to taste the biscuit. For the sake of my art. The website. For you, dear reader... I was going to eat dog food.
I braced myself and took a bite.
To be honest it didn't really taste like a parma. It didn't really taste like anything. Just rolled oats, flour and a very slight gamey aftertaste. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't pleasant and I won't be carrying them around in my pocket for the occasional snack, but they weren't as bad as I was expecting.
And that's it! The rest of the biscuits went into a zip lock bag for Mooza to enjoy over the next few days.
I'd call this a success, the Mix & Bake Biscuits are surprisingly easy to make and went over fantastically with the pupper. Should I spy them at the shop I'd have no qualms giving them another crack (for the dog, not for me). From what I gather from the packaging and the email receipts I received from eBay, the mix is made at the Diamond Dog Food & Bakery in Seaford, and sold by Lucky Pet in West Footscray. Should be too hard to track down if you want to give them a go for yourself!
I hope you've enjoyed this special attempt for the pets in our life. Hope you have a great Easter weekend and I'll catch you next week (Hopefully for a more Human appropriate parma experience).

Episode 37 Transcript
37 - Patient #14-A-8 (rose)
By Lauren Shippen
Dr. Bright: Now slowly bring your focus back into the room. And whenever you're ready, open your eyes. How do you feel?
Rose: Good. Sort of like I just woke up from a long nap.
Dr. Bright: Did you fall asleep?
Rose: No, I don't think so. But I was- I guess I got more aware of my ability in a way.
Dr. Bright: What do you mean by that?
Rose: Well, there's a certain feeling I get when I'm in someone's dream. It's different than while I'm just dreaming myself.
Dr. Bright: What does it feel like?
Rose: I don't know how to describe it really. It's like, when I'm having my own dreams, it's like I'm wrapped in cotton. It's warm and a little hazy and safe. But traveling to someone else's dream, there's a- a sharpness to it.
Dr. Bright: A sharpness?
Rose: No- I don't know if that's the right word. It's not- it's not a bad feeling. It's more like stepping outside and having cold air hit your face - the change in temperature is noticeable but it's kind of refreshing.
Dr. Bright: And you felt that way just now while you were meditating?
Rose: Not exactly. More like the edges of it. Like maybe I could slip into that kind of sleep.
Dr. Bright: The kind of sleep where you dreamwalk?
Rose: Yeah. And I guess maybe I wouldn't have been able to do anything because there's no one sleeping nearby, but I don't know, it still felt like a possibility.
Dr. Bright: That's wonderful, Rose. Achieving that kind of control after two sessions is very encouraging.
Rose: Thanks. Do you think that I'll get to a place where I can totally control it? Where I won't just fall asleep randomly?
Dr. Bright: I think it's very possible. The AM believes that your narcolepsy-like symptoms are caused by your ability, correct?
Rose: That's right. They ran all the usual tests to diagnose narcolepsy but it was all pretty, I don't know…
Dr. Bright: Inconclusive?
Rose: Right. We did the same kinds of meditation exercises but they looked at my brain while we did it and I guess they were able to tell that tapping into my ability is what makes me fall asleep.
Dr. Bright: Yes, I saw that it your file. That isn't unusual for dreamwalkers - the ability will get triggered randomly and that's what causes the sleeping spells. If you gain better control and choose to flex your ability regularly, you hopefully won't fall asleep as randomly.
Rose: Yeah, that's what they said too. But then I have to choose whose dreams to go into and that can be, well, people can't control what they dream about so sometimes I drop in on someone's nightmare or something and then the next day I have to decide whether or not I tell them that I know they're afraid of ducks or whatever. It's awkward.
Dr. Bright: I can understand it might be uncomfortable to see someone's subconscious like that. But some dreamwalkers gain such excellent control that they are able to use their power without entering the dreams of others.
Rose: What do they do?
Dr. Bright: Some look inward, and explore parts of their consciousness that their waking brain can't access. Others go into what they call a higher plane - something above the consciousness of humans.
Rose: Really?
Dr. Bright: That's how they describe it.
Rose: Wow.
Dr. Bright: But let's leave all that for the time being and focus on minimizing the disruption to your life. That's the first step.
Rose: Right. Okay.
Dr. Bright: Have you gone back to work yet?
Rose: Not yet. The restaurant has been really good about me taking some time off. But they also don't want someone working in a kitchen who might fall asleep at any moment.
Dr. Bright: Yes, I imagine that might be hazardous.
Rose: I really hope to go back soon. I mean, I can usually feel when it's about to happen and get out of the way. And even though I'm living with my parents, I'm still so far away from having even the first semester's tuition for culinary school. And then there's these sessions-
Dr. Bright: The AM is subsidizing them. That's one of the benefits of doing their program.
Rose: I know, but that's only for six months, right? I have a feeling I'm not gonna be perfectly in control after six months.
Dr. Bright: You're right, I definitely encourage all my patients to do therapy regularly. Mental wellbeing is a lifelong pursuit. But I also know that not everyone can afford the expense. We can work something out when the time comes. But you don't need to worry about it right now.
Rose: You're right, you're right. Like my dad is always telling my mom: "don't go borrowing trouble". Which she never listens to because, well, she knows when trouble is coming. She can't help but worry about the future.
Dr. Bright: Anxiety about the future is a natural human impulse. But it doesn't serve us to dwell on it too much. Our time's almost up, but do you have any other pressing concerns that you'd like to talk about?
Rose: Um, yes, actually. I've been seeing someone for a little while - we've gone on a bunch of dates over the past two months, but it's not really serious. Not yet. And its not that I don't want to commit, but it's- it's hard to really share your life with someone when you can't stay over or nap with them on the couch, you know? And also, I don't like lying - I had to tell her I was going traveling for two weeks when I was at The AM and I still feel really weird about it.
Dr. Bright: Have you seen her since finishing the program?
Rose: Yeah, I have. I like her so much and I'd like to actually make her my girlfriend but I just- even if I'm getting better control and can avoid going into her dreams, I'm still keeping this huge thing from her. So I guess I was just wondering, what do your patients do usually? The AM made everything seem pretty secretive but my family has always been so open about it, at least with each other. My parents always told my brother to not go around flashing it when his ability started, but can I tell people? Is that allowed?
Dr. Bright: That's not a choice anyone can make for you, Rose. Most of the people I know choose to only tell those closest to them - their immediate family, best friends, spouses, partners. It's true that The AM doesn't want atypicals to go around broadcasting it-
Rose: Yeah, they made that very clear.
Dr. Bright: But it's your decision to make. I would suggest caution. Not everyone reacts well and it is a very personal thing to share. Make sure you trust the person first. But other than that, it's really up to you.
Rose: Okay. I don't think I'll tell her just yet but, I don't know, I really feel like we could be something and this isn't a part of my life I'm willing to hide from a serious girlfriend.
Dr. Bright: See? You already know your boundaries - trust your instincts.
Rose: Thanks, Dr. Bright.
Dr. Bright: Alright, Rose, we're out of time.
[sfx: both standing]
Dr. Bright: Call me if you have any concerns and-
[sfx: door opening]
Dr. Bright: Mark! What are you doing here?
Mark: I was in the neighborhood, thought I'd stop by. Sorry, I didn't realize you had a patient.
Dr. Bright: We just finished up actually. I'll see you in two weeks?
Rose: Sure thing. Thanks, Dr. Bright.
Dr. Bright: Bye, Rose.
[sfx: opening and closing outer door]
Mark: What could she do?
Dr. Bright: What?
Mark: What was her power? I couldn't pick up on anything.
Dr. Bright: You'd probably need to be asleep.
Mark: Ah, dreamwalker. Very cool.
Dr. Bright: You're familiar with the ability?
Mark: Sure am.
Dr. Bright: Mark-
Mark: Where's the scotch?
Dr. Bright: What?
[sfx: Mark getting scotch throughout]
Mark: Sam told me about it - I was telling her about the Bryant love for dark liquors and she said she didn't like scotch but she'd only had it once. With you. In your office. That's very Mad Men of you. Great final season, by the way. Have you seen it?
Dr. Bright: I can't say that I have.
Mark: Oh, you should. It's so good -such good stuff. Just finished it yesterday. Do you want some?
Dr. Bright: I'm okay. Have you done anything this week other than binge watch TV?
Mark: I have a lot to catch up on. Mm, ooh, that's pretty good stuff.
Dr. Bright: Mark, are you okay?
Mark: I'm fine! Just having a bit of a day. Did you know about the construction happening in the apartment next door?
Dr. Bright: No.
Mark: That's sort of rude of your neighbors, isn't it? To not tell you? I guess you were up and out before it started this morning but it was loud.
Dr. Bright: I'm sorry, Mark. I can try talking to them about starting later if you want. I know you haven't been sleeping all that well-
Mark: No, no, it's fine, I was awake already. It's just- well they had these big machines - monitors and stuff - in the room where they did the experiments. And they made this really loud, growling hum. Really distinctive sound, you know?
Dr. Bright: At The AM?
Mark: Yeah, where else? And the construction next door…it just- it kind of sounded like that. So I had to get out of there. Went to Sam's place but she wasn't home which is weird. But then I remembered about the scotch, so here I am!
Dr. Bright: Mark.
Mark: Don't be such a mother hen. I promise I won't make a habit of drinking in the middle of the day. I just needed something to take the edge off- hey!
[sfx: Dr. Bright taking glass]
Dr. Bright: Nope. You cannot come in here and self medicate in front of me.
Mark: Would you prefer I do it somewhere else?
Dr. Bright: Mark.
Mark: Sorry, sorry, I just- like I said, bit of a day.
Dr. Bright: Are you ever going to talk to me about it?
Mark: Aren't you supposed to let me take my time?
Dr. Bright: I'm not your therapist, Mark. I'm your sister. And it's been over a month since you've been back. If you don't want to talk to me, are you at least talking to Sam about it? Or Chloe? Anyone?
Mark: Sam doesn't push but, yeah, sometimes we talk about it. Chloe knows everything before I open my mouth and then we're just sitting there staring at each other not talking- it drives Sam nuts. When we go nonverbal, you know?
Dr. Bright: No one likes being left out. How are things going with you two?
Mark: Good, I think. Slow. Which is good.
Dr. Bright: You don't sound convinced.
Mark: No, no, it's just- it's different for me, you know? I've always been very jump-in-feet-first with relationships. But Sam's not like that, which is good, because I don't know that I'm ready for anything and I don't- I don't know how to- I think I'm really fucked up, Joanie.
Dr. Bright: You need to give yourself a break. You were in captivity for nearly five years. It's going to be hard to adjust.
Mark: I just- Sam hates going out in public, you know? I mean, she says she's gotten better about it since starting therapy with you but it's- well, it's really kind of nice to just sit inside with her and Darwin and not worry about things. But she's always suggesting that we go out and do stuff because I've missed so much and she knows I love being out and about because that's what I told her but it's not- that's not true anymore. It's- it's too overwhelming when I don't know who is around, or if there are any other atypicals, and I forget- I forget that I can be seen and heard when I'm in public now so sometimes I'm talking to myself and I don't realize until I notice everyone staring at me like I'm crazy.
Dr. Bright: Mark, you need to go see a therapist. Someone not me, not Sam, not atypical-related, and talk about this.
Mark: No, no, no. No more doctors.
Dr. Bright: Mark-
Mark: I can't, I can't- I- I- I can't trust anyone. And Sam can tell, and it's not fair, because she's the only- she's the only one who has any idea what it was like to be alone for that long and I don't trust her. When she tries to get me to go out for dinner or to a movie, I know she's doing it because she cares about me and she wants me to be happy, even if it means going outside of her comfort zone, but all I can think about is what her motivations for getting me out of the apartment are. Is she setting a trap for me? Does she want to get rid of me? Does she not want me anymore? And it's not fair, she doesn't deserve my suspicion, she's done nothing but care for me and give me space and time when I need it and I don't trust her. I can't.
Dr. Bright: Do you- do you trust me?
Mark: I have no fucking clue.
Dr. Bright: Okay.
Mark: I love you, Joanie. I love you a lot. Nothing will ever change that. But your old buddies really did a number on me.
Dr. Bright: I know.
Mark: How was your patient?
Dr. Bright: What?
Mark: The girl- the dreamwalker. She doing okay?
Dr. Bright: Seems to be. We haven't been working together for long.
Mark: How do people find you anyway? I know Sam saw an ad in the paper but, I mean, how often does that work?
Dr. Bright: Some are referred by other atpyicals, others…
Mark: Others by The AM?
Dr. Bright: Yes. As you said, they occasionally do good work.
Mark: Why still send patients to you, though? I mean, after everything that happened?
Dr. Bright: I have the necessary training for this work. The AM poured a lot of money into training me, making me effective - it makes sense that they'd want to continue to take advantage of that. Their employees are a big investment. Even the people who leave usually end up being consultants like me.
Mark: Have you heard from her?
Dr. Bright: No.
Mark: Seriously? She just backed off completely?
Dr. Bright: Only in the sense that she hasn't reached out.
Mark: What?
Dr. Bright: She knows it would drive me crazy- her going completely quiet. This is a classic Wadsworth game. Stop our meetings, stop calling me, stop asking me to come back to The AM, and eventually I'll go crawling back on my own.
Mark: She really thinks that would work?
Dr. Bright: She knows that it means I'm spending more time and energy thinking about her than before. If I don't see her or talk to her, I don't know what she's doing. I'm just always waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Mark: Jesus, what is the deal with you two?
Dr. Bright: What?
Mark: This twisted, mad-scientist mind game shit the two of you have. What does she want from you?
Dr. Bright: Control. I think- looking back on our time working together, I was so caught up in admiring her, in being impressed by her, that I didn't realize how controlling she was. I thought she was trying to groom me, make me her protege, but the more I think about it the more I think that she was just trying to keep me under her thumb. Keep me from being the competition.
Mark: God, she's a real charmer, isn't she?
Dr. Bright: Mm.
Mark: How's Damien doing?
Dr. Bright: Are you sure you want to know?
Mark: Is it that bad?
Dr. Bright: No, it's- he's doing better. I'm just not sure it's healthy for you to have any kind of contact with him right now.
Mark: Yeah, well, not my therapist, remember? Besides, I don't have any contact with him. That's why I'm asking you.
Dr. Bright: And I'd like to keep it that way, so you need to get out of here. Go see a movie or something.
Mark: What?
Dr. Bright: Damien is coming by for a session in ten minutes and you can't be here for that.
Mark: Do you think he'll be okay?
Dr. Bright: Honestly, I like him better this way.
Mark: Joanie.
Dr. Bright: I don't know, Mark. His ability to make his own choices has gotten much stronger. He- he only does what I say about twenty percent of the time now. But he still can't impose his own will on others.
Mark: Have you figured out what happened?
Dr. Bright: I have my theories.
Mark: Well, such as?
Dr. Bright: Damien's power is normally an outward one - he pushes his will out to other people. I think when you had your outburst, it got reversed and opened up his brain to incoming signals. Now it's just about closing his mind back up so that other people's desires don't get in. It seems to be working so far.
Mark: Well, I guess it could be worse.
Dr. Bright: It certainly could be. He could have full use of his power again.
Mark: No, I don't want him to be like this forever. I didn't mean to break him. I know what it's like to not be able to feel your own ability. It was like not being able to detect your own heartbeat. Not painful, just creepy. I don't want that for anyone, not even Damien.
Dr. Bright: Mark, you don't- Damien isn't- do you trust him?
Mark: I don't know. I did, for the whole summer, but it was because he wanted me to. And now, like- I have no idea. Objectively, cognitively, I know I shouldn't. But there's that lingering part of my emotions - just on the surface - that trusts him. I hate it. I hate that he made it so that I can't even trust my own goddamn feelings. But that doesn't mean I want to see him hurt.
Dr. Bright: I know. I'm doing everything I can. I promise.
Mark: I know you are. Is he- what's he been like without his ability? Is he happy? Is he nice?
Dr. Bright: Was he nicer to you after?
Mark: No. Not really. He seemed like the same old Damien, but just sapped of color, if that makes sense.
Dr. Bright: It does. I've gotten the same impression. Damien has never been a cheerful person but he seems unhappier than usual, I'll grant you that.
Mark: You don't think he deserves to be happy.
Dr. Bright: Is there a mind reader in the other room I don't know about?
Mark: I just know you.
Dr. Bright: And you're wondering the same thing.
Mark: Yeah. I guess I am.
Dr. Bright: I don't think Damien's goal in life is to be happy. I'm not sure he thinks about it very much. To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure what his goals in life are.
Mark: He just wanted someone to relate to, I think. Someone who could understand his ability, share it. And then it totally back-fired and now he misses the power. He was so mad at me for taking it from him.
Dr. Bright: He'll be here soon, you should get going.
Mark: Right. Just- be careful, Joanie.
Dr. Bright: I've been working with Damien for quite some time now - I know how to handle him.
Mark: I know, it's just- when I got here that first night, and that patient of yours showed up, the empath-
Dr. Bright: Caleb.
Mark: Right. I felt this really strong feeling and I didn't know what it was at the time because there were so many people and I was so tired but I've been thinking about it a lot and I think it was coming from Damien.
Dr. Bright: What was it?
Mark: It was hate.
Dr. Bright: Damien doesn't hate you.
Mark: He hates what I did to him. Okay, I should go, I guess. I'll see you at home later? We'll order Thai?
Dr. Bright: That sounds good.
[sfx: door opening]
Mark: Love you, Joanie
Dr. Bright: I love you too.
[sfx: door closing, Dr. Bright walking to desk]
Dr. Bright: End of session 2 with patient fourteen. I'll have to cut out the last few minutes there. A productive session, all in all. I'm very pleased with the patient's progress but I'm still stumped as to how to make the best use of our time together. I've never worked with a dreamwalker outside of The AM. There, we would monitor them twenty-four-seven, even while they were sleeping. It seems silly for Rose and I to take a nap during a session but I'm not sure what other way we can flex her ability. I may have to consult with- well, I'm sure Agent Green will have some ideas. And Rose seems fond of him, for some reason.
[sfx: click of recorder and new recording starting]
Dr. Bright: Take a seat, Damien.
Damien: I'm good.
Dr. Bright: Nicely done. Was that easy for you to resist?
Damien: Very.
Dr. Bright: How are you feeling today?
Damien: Fine.
Dr. Bright: Would you like to elaborate on that at all?
Damien: Nope.
Dr. Bright: Damien, if you don't talk to me, I can't help you.
Damien: You don't want to help me. You've been loving this.
Dr. Bright: We've had our disagreements, Damien, but that doesn't mean I wish you harm.
Damien: Bullshit. You forget: I could feel what you wanted. And you didn't want me to get better.
Dr. Bright: You could feel?
Damien: That's right - I'm back, baby.
Dr. Bright: You're no longer…
Damien: Subject to the whims of other people? No. Thank christ.
Dr. Bright: How-
Damien: Yesterday, I woke up and it was like something had snapped back into place. When it first happened it was like- Mark pushed me and everything went black, and when I woke up it was like my brain had been turned inside out. And it's been like that for weeks. Do you have any idea what that's like? To have your own mind be a stranger to you?
Dr. Bright: Damien-
Damien: And you've just been sitting there, pretending like you were helping me-
Dr. Bright: I was helping you - you've been getting better-
Damien: Barely. Sure, I was able to recognize when you were influencing me and maybe resist it but you were never going to help me get my ability back.
Dr. Bright: And now you-
Damien: Yep. Good as new.
Dr. Bright: I see.
Damien: Oh god, look at your face. So disappointed.
Dr. Bright: It was refreshing to have a different dynamic with you, Damien.
Damien: A different dynamic? You mean it was refreshing to have power over me.
Dr. Bright: No, I don't. I've been doing my best this past month to not influence you too much in these sessions. I think I can say with confidence that I did not abuse my position.
Damien: Constantly checking in on me, not letting me see Mark-
Dr. Bright: Both of which were for your own health and safety. But I never made you talk about things you didn't want to. Even though you know I have questions.
Damien: Speaking of which, I have some questions of my own. And now that I'm back to normal-
Dr. Bright: Damien, don't do this.
Damien: Why not?
Dr. Bright: Was there any part of you that maybe enjoyed the past month? You've lived with this ability for a long time. And I know you've been curious about what your life would be like without it.
Damien: Maybe I was curious. I'm not anymore.
Dr. Bright: And you didn't learn anything from it?
Damien: Oh, sure, I learned stuff. I learned what it's like to be helpless and weak and, shocker, didn't care for it.
Dr. Bright: It's not weak to rely on other people for help.
Damien: Is that what you think I've been doing? Coming to these sessions so you can help me? I haven't had a choice.
Dr. Bright: I didn't make you come see me.
Damien: There was no other option. I didn't know if I was going to get better on my own. That's not a real choice.
Dr. Bright: My god, you spend one month without everything going your way and you throw a fit. Welcome to how everyone else lives, Damien.
Damien: I'm not like everybody else. I never want to be like that again.
Dr. Bright: I understand that it may have been a difficult adjustment for you, Damien, but don't come to me looking for sympathy. At least no one spent a year trying to ring out every secret you have-
Damien: You're my therapist, you're supposed to have sympathy for me.
Dr. Bright: If you think that after you kidnapped my brother, I am still your therapist, I have got news for you-
Damien: You haven't seemed to mind all that much since I came back-
Dr. Bright: Well, you're better now, so you don't need my help anymore. Find someone else to torment.
Damien: Why even help me at all? If what I did this summer was so terrible, why even try to help me get better?
Dr. Bright: Because Mark asked me to!
Damien: I knew it.
Dr. Bright: Knew what?
Damien: He cares. Unlike you, who has done nothing but disrespect and resent me-
Dr. Bright: Oh my god-
Damien: He actually cares. He wants me to get better. Guess I proved you wrong.
Dr. Bright: What?
Damien: You said I could never make a, um, "meaningful connection" if I continued to use my power on people. You were wrong. God, I love when you're wrong.
Dr. Bright: You didn't use your power on Mark?
Damien: Well- no, I mean, I had to to keep him with me, or otherwise he would have- but I didn't make him like me. I didn't make him care.
Dr. Bright: Damien, don't mistake Mark's unfailing decency as affection for you. Just because he wouldn't step over your corpse in the street doesn't mean he cares.
Damien: God, you're a real bitch, you know that?
Dr. Bright: Get out of my office.
Damien: No, I'm not done yet.
Dr. Bright: Damien-
Damien: How do I make sure it never happens again?
Dr. Bright: What?
Damien: If I meet someone like Mark, or he loses control again, I can't let the same thing happen. I can't go back to that- to that emptiness. Tell me how to fight it.
Dr. Bright: I have absolutely no idea, Damien.
Damien: You're lying.
Dr. Bright: I'm not. Your ability is working - I want to tell you the truth. But I barely understand what happened with your and Mark's abilities in the first place. I can't tell you how to prevent it from happening again.
Damien: Then who can?
Dr. Bright: I'm sorry?
Damien: You're not the only one who works with atypicals. And you stopped helping me with my ability a long time ago - you're never going to help me learn how to get stronger. But there has to be someone out there who can. Tell me who.
Dr. Bright: Wadsworth.
Damien: The AM director?
Dr. Bright: Yes. She's smarter than me.
Damien: Oh, how's that for some honesty! Oh god, I missed this. Oh, it just- oh, it feels so good to have control again. You know what, I think I might actually be better at this than I was before.
Dr. Bright: I'm thrilled for you.
Damien: Is this a trap? Telling me to go see Wadsworth?
Dr. Bright: No.
Damien: Good. Give me her home address, just to be safe.
Dr. Bright: I don't have it.
Damien: Fine. You know, I think I know someone who does.
Dr. Bright: Damien-
Damien: Thanks, Dr. B.. Ciao!

Dr. Bright: Damien, stay away from Mark.
Damien: I will. For now. First I gotta go see the wizard.

Why is video so important? It's becoming what television once was. Marketers have figured out where the consumer eyeballs are going and it's the internet. Today, it's about being online, but more importantly, it's about being found.
Studies show that:
*90% of home buyers start their search online
*The average buyer researches for 9 months before making an offer
*This same buyer will search for 6.5 months before contacting a real estate broker
You might ask yourself… "How can I increase my odds of being the first broker to make contact with the buyer?" Today's client expects 365/24/7 access to information and the pleasing aspects of video have proven effective in relaying that information.
We had an ace in the hole when we needed to learn the process of video production and promotion. Our co-owner, Anne Erickson, is an Emmy Award winning television producer currently working at NBC affiliate King-5 in Seattle. Anne's years of experience, combined with her willingness take on this project, enabled us to develop an efficient and effective production model. We owe Anne a big, "Thanks", for helping us define our process and raise our production values.
Authentic localized content is important to consumers as proven by statistics showing them searching for local information and experiences. It is also very important to the search engines as well. We use video to showcase our client's properties and to promote the local lifestyle of living on the Olympic Peninsula. Video is the best way to get found on the Internet.
Get on board with us and you too can harness the power of video marketing.

|Cheap alcohol fuelling anti-social behaviour
We already know the problems they cause locally, with noise, anti-social behaviour, street drinkers and begging. So when we found out about the schemes in Lark Lane and on Allerton Road a few years ago to stop them having to have any more bars, we though this was something we would have a look at.
Unfortunately the wheels of local government can sometimes turn exceedingly slowly and it has taken far longer than it should have despite dozens of meetings and piles of correspondence.
However, we now finally have some good news.
We have applied for something called a Cumulative Impact Policy which basically says that the impact of the large numbers of establishments we already have, together have caused problems and that no more should be allowed.
In order for this to be introduced we have to carry out a consultation of local people and find out what they think.
Liverpool City Council is proposing to amend its Licensing Policy Statement by including within it a special Cumulative Impact Policy (or CIP) limited to specific streets in the Kensington / Fairfield / Central wards namely:Boaler Street, Holt Road, Kensington, Molyneux Road and part of Prescot Road (from its junction with Kensington to the railway line forming the eastern boundary of Fairfield Ward)
A copy the consultation questionnaire and supporting information including a plan of the area can be viewed at - http://www.liverpool.gov.uk/scipconsultation
The deadline for receipt of completed questionnaires is 1st day of November 2013.

SeaWorld Announces Baby Orca's Name and Her Illness
Can things possibly get any worse for SeaWorld? It appears so. Still conducting damage control over leaked photographs of sick orca Kasatka, SeaWorld announced today that their youngest orca, 3-month-old Kyara, is possibly sick with pneumonia.
The last few years have not been kind to SeaWorld-held marine mammals. In just 3 years, SeaWorld parks have lost 25 animals. The deaths, easily verified by Ceta Base.org's, 'Event Timeline', lists the following animals as deceased:
2014 - 8 deaths
- Commerson's dolphins Keebler and Fabio at Aquatica Orlando.
- Five bottlenose dolphins: Kai at SW Texas; Bodine at SW California; Bailey, Bossa and Bossa's calf (stillborn) at SW Orlando.
- Beluga whale Ruby at SW California.
2015 - 5 deaths
- Two bottlenose dolphins: Jenson, Lagos, plus a miscarriage of twins (not counted) at SW Orlando.
- Two beluga whales: Stella at SW Texas and Nanuq at SW Orlando.
- Orca Unna at SW Texas.
2016 - 7 deaths
- Three bottlenose dolphins: Montenegro and Purina at SW California; Star at Discovery Cove, Fl.
- One spotted Atlantic dolphin -- SWF-SF-1601, at SW Orlando.
- One Commerson's dolphin -- Betsy, at Aquatica Orlando.
- One Pacific white-sided dolphin -- Dart, at SW Texas
- One short-finned pilot whale -- Bubbles, at SW California.
2017 - 5 deaths
- Orca Tilikum at SW Orlando.
- Two bottlenose dolphins: Lily at Discovery Cove, Fl; SWF-TT-1604B at SW Orlando.
- One Commerson's dolphin -- Ringer's calf at Aquatica Orlando
- One beluga whale -- Whisper's calf at SeaWorld, Orlando.
For Kyara, whose name was released on the same day her illness was announced, a mother-calf separation and an inability to nurse naturally does not bode well. Also of note is the study SeaWorld cites in support of Kyara's illness which refers to a bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus population and not an orca population.
Just brace yourselves. 2017 is far from over. I wish Takara and Kyara well.
UPDATE: Make that 26 marine mammals. SeaWorld announced today (7/24/17) that Kyara has died. What company announces an illness and a name on the same day and 48 hours later, a death?

"The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times."
-Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
I wasn't always the Colombian goddess of strength and wisdom that you see before you today.
My road to happiness has been long, and honestly, a bit bumpy -- but I couldn't be more grateful for the experiences I've had.
Born to tough and traditional Colombian parents,abusive behavior became the norm for me in childhood and adolescence, leading to a struggle with anxiety. Without the tools to process these feelings and events, that anxiety quickly morphed into severe PTSD as I embarked on adulthood.
Feelings of fear, shame, and unworthiness started stacking up on top of me as I rose in the ranks of corporate America. I attempted to stuff these feelings down deeper and deeper but found myself increasingly burned out and unhappy.
The birth of my son should've been the happiest time of my life, but my anxiety worsened and I struggled with postpartum depression, along with the balancing act of my career and motherhood.
Then I had a huge realization.
events from my past that I had never worked through had finally caught up with me and were affecting every area of my life.
Something had to give and I knew I had to heal my past in order to live fully.
Leaving what I considered to be my dream job as a fashion producer for MAC Cosmetics and moving my family to California was not an easy decision. I was scared and vulnerable, but amongst the palm trees and beautiful scenery, I began a long journey of re-discovering myself, healing old wounds, and embarking on my spiritual path, which ultimately led me to my true calling.
WHat i Do
I'm dedicated to uncovering what's holding women back in any aspect of their lives, breaking societal and cultural norms that have created negative patterns, and helping them take action steps to reach their goals through support, accountability, energy healing + Coaching.
These days, I'm a single mama living life to the fullest with peace, purpose and immense self-love.
I've been a competitive marathon runner for many years and find running to be a true metaphor for the adventure of life--you may experience setbacks, but each teaches valuable lessons and makes you stronger.
Living a life you love takes dedication, training, practice, and perseverance, which is why I became a coach and healer, to support women on their own unique journey to self-love.
I'm always going to be a work in progress. Truth is, we all are. Many of my clients have told me " I love working with you because you get me. You've been where I am and have changed your life, so I know that I can too." I've done the work myself and I've developed a unique approach to helping others.
Having completed years of in-depth training and working with hundreds of reiki and coaching clients, it has become my mission to guide women who are working through repressed emotions and feelings, and to help you realize that everything you need is already within you, all you need is the right support and coaching to bring it to the surface and ultimately heal it.
I'm always amazed by the shifts I see in my clients. When I watch them transform from low energy, indecisive and tense, to intuitive, bold, and empowered. That is truly the most rewarding gift.
If you made it this far you've earned some fun facts about yours truly:
Celebrity Crush: Oprah! Her drive, energy, and generosity, combined with her take- no- shit attitude are core principles I live by.
Happy place: Nature. I have a habit of talking to trees.
Past Life: Beauty & Fashion. I love fashion. In my past career, I traveled the World and worked backstage with the biggest in the biz.
Hobby: I'm an avid runner! I run yearly marathons and at some point want to train for an IRON MAN.
Spirit: I've jumped out of an airplane twice and been held at gunpoint.
Proudest accomplishments: Becoming the mom of an amazing son, surviving NYC as a single, independent woman. If you've made it there you can make it anywhere.
Favorite read: The Alchemist. Hence the quotes hidden around the site (shhh, don't tell).
Humblebrag: I've been featured in USA Today, Thrive Global and Bustle for my views on wellness.
Listening to: A very wide mix of jams! From SIA to singing bowls, I'm into it!
Life motto: Never give up! Where there's a will, there's a way!

2degrees Mobile has just announced that it has signed up 206,000 customers in its first six months.
CEO Eric Hertz said that a total of 53,000 people had decided to switch their 021 and 027 mobile numbers over to the 2degrees network. He said 206,000 customers were 'actively using' its service.
"Over the last six months we've exceeded initial expectations," he said.
"We've successfully brought down prepaid prices for mobile services so that for the first time people in New Zealand people are able to access a prepaid plan at prices below the OECD average."
Hertz said the 206,000 people were people who had been actively using their mobile phones during the last 30 days.
He said Telecom's average revenue from prepay customers was below $10 a week, and said this would be a concern for the telecommunications giant.
He would not share 2degrees' average revenue per customer, but said it was "significantly above" Telecom's figure. Nor would he say where 2degrees was placed in terms of average revenue customer competition with Vodafone.
"We are significantly above Telecom and we're very excited about what we are seeing."
He said 2degrees would be launching 3G services later this year.
"We're in the process of doing the activisation of that and developing the products for the launch. "
Hertz said 50,000 of the 206,000 active users had switched over from "the incumbents" - Vodafone and Telecom.
Eighty per cent of those had switched from Vodafone, he said.
"It's easier to switch from Vodafone because you can bring the same phone," he said.
He said upgrading to a 3G network was a priority, as it would bring in higher revenue customers.
Hertz said 2degrees was focused "how many devices" could be linked to its network in ten years time, rather than how many customers.
He said it was possible that ten years time a population of 5 million people could have 20 million devices linked to mobile networks, if all the different gadgets people used were taken into account.
"What we are building is the infrastructure and the systems that will enable that," he said.
Hertz said mobile use made up only a third of total telecommunication use in New Zealand - down on the global average of 50 per cent.
"I think we are going to see a shift from fixed to mobile over the next ten years," he said.
2degrees was launched to much fanfare in August last year, following an aggressive ad campaign that featured comedian Rhys Darby.
Last year 2degrees chief executive Mike Reynolds said the company had spent NZ$250 million over ten years building up its mobile network, mainly in New Zealand's main centres.
In areas not covered by the 2degrees network, users roam on Vodafone's network via an agreement reached between the two companies.
2degrees' website ran into problems in August last year. The website allows customers to order a mobile Sim cards, register a Sim cards, check billing information and change phone numbers.
However, frustrated mobile users were unable to access the website for more than a week soon after the official launch of 2degrees last year.
Hautaki, a company owned by Maori interests, holds a 13 per cent stake in 2degrees. Its interest was diluted last year after Hautaki failed to raise $20 million from Maori interests to invest in 2degrees.
2degrees Mobile has just announced that it has signed up 206,000 customers in its first six months.

Port Metro Vancouver Issues Transportation Alert
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 15, 2014) - On Saturday, May 17, cruise passenger volumes at Canada Place and Ballantyne Pier cruise terminals are expected to be at a peak, with over 14,500 embarking and disembarking passengers expected between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm. On this busy cruise day, higher than normal traffic volumes are anticipated in the downtown core, along with increased demand for taxis and the use of public transportation.
In an effort to accommodate the high number of passengers, Port Metro Vancouver is working with cruise lines, the City of Vancouver, Tourism Vancouver, Vancouver taxi companies and other transportation service providers to raise awareness about the significantly increased demand.
In order to minimize congestion, it is particularly important that arriving passengers do not come to the Canada Place or Ballantyne cruise terminal prior to their scheduled embarkation time in order to avoid further congestion while disembarking passengers are leaving their ships. Given the significant number of passengers utilizing these facilities, Port Metro Vancouver is advising those going to the terminal to make transportation arrangements in advance. All passengers embarking at Canada Place are asked to report to Hall C in the Vancouver Convention Centre-East.
Port Metro Vancouver will have additional staff on site to assist with passenger inquiries. There will also be additional staff on site in conjunction with VPD Traffic Authority managing traffic and pedestrian flows at nearby crosswalks.
Every cruise call through Vancouver generates $2 million in economic activity, benefiting local businesses. In 2014, Vancouver will see more than 812,000 passengers on 243 calls by 29 cruise ships, adding an estimated $486 million to the local economy.
Port Metro Vancouver is a non-shareholder, financially self-sufficient corporation established by the Government of Canada, pursuant to the Canada Marine Act, and is accountable to the elected federal Minister of Transport. Port Metro Vancouver is Canada's largest port and a leader in environmental stewardship. It trades $172 billion in goods annually with more than 160 trading economies, generating across Canada an estimated 100,000 jobs, $6.1 billion in wages, and $9.7 billion in GDP. Port Metro Vancouver annually publishes a sustainability report which provides an overview of Port Metro Vancouver's social, environmental and economic performance, covering sustainability performance throughout the Gateway, and is independently assured by a third party. Port Metro Vancouver was the second port globally (behind Rotterdam) to produce a sustainability report meeting the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3.1 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, B+ Application Level, and is the first port globally to become a member of the International Integrated Reporting Council, Integrated Reporting Framework Pilot Project. Port Metro Vancouver's 2012 sustainability report has been shortlisted within the international Corporate Responsibility Reporting Awards.

6 Reasons to Visit Pranburi
October 29, 2014
Just three hours from Bangkok, Pranburi is adding a little luxury to its résumé of natural beauty.
Published on Oct 29, 2014
When the mountains start to multiply, the palm trees thicken and the horizon runs rugged with sea stacks, you know you are nearing Pranburi. Past the sleepy town center, with its sprawling and surprisingly empty beach, you'll find the 300 peaks of Sam Roi Yot National Park, wetlands, caves, endless aquatic adventures and a few hidden shores worth getting lost to find. Now an influx of high-end resorts is elevating the accommodations to match the environs. Turn the page for our favorite pursuits on this raw and still untouched sweep of Thailand.
1. Wander the Wetlands
Take a long-tail boat tour through the mangroves of Pranburi Forest Park. The park extends across 3.2 square kilometers, weaving through pine-dotted beaches, the Pranburi River and a small fishing village.
2. Get Carried Away
The kilometers of soft beach, uninterrupted by rocks or docks, paired with the strong wind along this coast make Pranburi the ideal spot to learn how to kitesurf. Book a beginner's course at Airstylers Kite School (airstylerskiteschool.com) and you'll be on the waves in no time.
3. Cycle the Coast
Rural Road 1020, the street that winds through Pranburi to Sam Roi Yot National Park, has been widened to include a paved bike lane that currently spans 6 kilometers. An addition 4 kilometers of trail is still under construction, which will make it one of the longest dedicated bike paths in the country.
4. Hide Out
Enjoy a little luxury reclusion at the 17-room Hansar Pranburi (hansarpranburi.com). This intimate beachfront resort is nestled into a quiet crook on the border of the national park, facing endless ocean and backed by lush mountains. Closer to Hua Hin, the Sheraton Hua Hin Pranburi Villas (sheratonhuahinpranburi.com) offers private pool suites and in-villa massages.
Hansar Pranburi
Sheraton Hua Hin Pranburi Villas
5. Ogle the Ocean
Two islands near the national park have earned the area the nickname "Brassiere Beach" for reasons that will become obvious on the horizon. Kayak over for a closer look and you'll find yourself afloat in an island-studded postcard. Then stop by Monkey Island to spy macaques shucking oysters for breakfast and you may even bump into dolphins.
6. Go Caving
There are a number of caves to explore in Sam Roi Yot, but the most spectacular is Phraya Nakhon. These two giant caverns are lined in columns where stalagmites and stalactites met after thousands of years of formation. A pavilion was built inside the recessed grotto in 1890, at the bequest of King Chulalongkorn. The cave's roof long ago collapsed, so the hollow is flooded in natural light, lending it a regal air indeed.
T+L Tip:
Ask reception at Dolphin Bay (dolphinbayresort.com) to help you organize family-friendly excursions.
Inside Scoop
We asked Hansar Pranburi co-founder Suzanne Vertillart Chayavichitsilp for her thoughts on this burgeoning beach.
Q: Why Pranburi?
A: It is a special location. You can see cows walking on the beach or monkeys swimming up next to you. You can connect with nature here.
Q: How has it stayed a secret?
A: Most people just don't think past Hua Hin. Even some of my Thai friends don't know about Sam Roi Yot or Pranburi.
Q: What do you while you're here?
A: In Bangkok, I'm always glued to my phone or computer. Here it is nice to be outside all day—not in the A.C. or on a device. I like having some quiet time.
Q: Any tips for future visitors?
A: This is a destination for people who are familiar with Thailand. It is a different kind of landscape, very charming and authentic.

On 21st October 2011 took place the second activity from the "Prichindeii Savureaza "project launched by Eurocarta at the beginning of this summer, activity which had in its centre the children aged between 5-6 from No. 26 Junior Kindergarten Brasov. Just as their older mates, the little ones participated with a lot of interest at the discussions. They had the opportunity to taste some honey in order to be convinced of its delicious and unique taste. They said thematic poems, danced and played games that helped them remember better the things they had learned before.
Prichindeii Savureaza!
Grupa Mare
Gradinita Junior Nr. 26 Brasov
In data de 21 octombrie 2011 a avut loc cea de-a doua activitate din cadrul proiectului Prichindeii Savureaza lansat de Eurocarta la inceputul acestei veri, activitate ce i-a avut in centrul atentiei pe copiii din grupa mare a Gradinitei Junior Nr. 26 din Brasov. Ca si colegii lor mai mari, micutii au participat in mod activ la discutii. Pentru a se convinge de gustul deosebit, copii au degustat miere. Ei au recitat poezii, au dansat si au jucat diverse jocuri care i-au ajutat sa retina mai usor informatiile pe care tocmai le aflasera.
