Dossier Disclaimer
The information in this trip details document has been compiled with care and is provided in good faith. However it is subject to change, and does not form part of the contract between the client and the operator. The itinerary featured is correct at time of printing. It may differ slightly to the one in the brochure. Occasionally our itineraries change as we make improvements that stem from past travellers, comments and our own research. Sometimes it can be a small change like adding an extra meal along the itinerary. Sometimes the change may result in us altering the tour for the coming year. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with the most rewarding experience. Please note that our brochure is usually released in November each year. If you have booked from the previous brochure you may find there have been some changes to the itinerary.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you print a final copy of your Trip Details to review a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans.
Itinerary Disclaimer
While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission.
Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
Important Notes
You will require a Letter of Invitation for Russia in order to get your Russian visa. You must complete the visa information form which will be automatically sent to you or your travel agent via email upon time of booking.
On arrival in Russia you will receive a double immigration card, you must fill out both parts and one is taken away upon entry, the other must remain with your passport at all times and you must have it when you are leaving Russia to hand to the relevant authorities.
Please confirm the tour with the same passport you will be travelling with in Russia. If you happen to change passports before departure, please reach out to our Sales team with your new passport details so they can notify our teams on the ground.
To avoid disappointment we recommend that you book any theatre performances that you wish to attend in Moscow in advance. Please consider carefully which performances you are going to want attend and make sure that the dates correspond to your trip. Here are some useful internet sites to check for what will be on (ballet, opera, exhibitions, etc) in Moscow when you are there. In particular we recommend you see what's playing at the Bolshoi, as it may be difficult to get tickets when you are there. The most useful sites to check in English are www.bolshoi.ru and www.ticketsofrussia.com.
Due to the bank restrictions on changing money in Russia only notes/bills printed after 1996 and in good condition will be accepted for exchange. Usually 50 and 100 USD/EUR notes get better exchange rates.
Group Leader Description
All G Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our Chief Experience Officers (CEO). The aim of the CEO is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting- we think it's the best of both worlds.
Group Size Notes
Max 15, avg 12
Meals Included
7 breakfasts, 3 lunches
Eating is a big part of traveling. Travelling with G Adventures you experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world. Generally meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat. It also gives you more budgeting flexibility, though generally food is cheap. Our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. Your CEO will be able to suggest favourite restaurants during your trip. For all trips please refer to the meals included and budget information for included meals and meal budgets.
Private vehicle, overnight train, boat.
About our Transportation
The overnight train is 2nd Class Kupe Soft sleepers: 4 berth compartments that have lockable doors. There an overhead locker and storage space under the bottom bunk that is sufficient space for your luggage. Bed linen is provided on all trains. Each carriage has two toilets and one hot water boiler. There is at least one train attendant in each carriage to take care of passengers and maintain the facilities. Most of the trains (but not all) will have dining car. This being said, it is always a good idea to bring your own snacks aboard for more variety of food options while travelling.
Solo Travellers
We believe solo travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and solo travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.
Hotels (9 nts), guest house (1 nt), sleeper train (1 nt).

What to Take
You will be on the move a good deal, so pack as lightly as possible (try to stay under 10kg / 22lb). It is in your own interest as you are expected to carry your own luggage. Please, note that we use public transport on this trip – the walking distance is never too far, but there will be up and down stairs in train stations, getting on and off metros, cobblestoned streets, etc and having a backpack makes travelling easier. We don't recommend bringing suitcases.
It is important that your bag can be locked. We recommend an overnight pack for the long train journeys, sparing you from going in and out of your luggage in the small compartments. This should be big enough to carry a spare set of clothes, towel, book, cards and basic toiletries (approx. 30 litre/8 gallons capacity).

Visas and Entry Requirements
Please note that visas are the responsibility of the individual traveller. The visa requirements for your trip vary depending on where you are from and where you are going. We keep the following information up to date as much as possible, but rules do change. It is important that you check for yourself with the Embassy of Russia. Please, keep in mind that all countries require passports valid for at least 6 months from the moment of departure from the country.
To apply for a Russian visa, all nationalities must present an official Russian Letter of Invitation (LOI).
It is the responsibility of the traveller to check with their nearest Embassy and confirm the requirements for entry into Russia***
IMPORTANT: Once your trip is confirmed, at 90 days prior to your entry into Russia, you must submit an application for your Letter of Invitation. A link will be emailed to you in your confirmation email. The details will be forwarded to our local agent in Russia and as a Russian visa is only valid for 90 days once it is issued, you will be emailed your Russian Invitation Letter about 10 business days after submission. Russian LOI's can be rushed in extreme circumstances.
As Russian visas are dated specifically for entry and exit, please ensure you enter the correct dates. We also recommend that you add an extra day to the end of your trip so your visa length will cover any unexpected delays. Please also remember to put exactly the same dates when you fill out the visa application at the Russian Embassy.
Input your name the same way it is in your passport. The information on the application form must match your passport (if you have 2 or more names – all of them have to be listed under "first name").
If you have an umlaut or other character not recognized in the english alphabet in your name (ie. ü), please enter it in the longer form (ie. ue).
Please note: Our Supplier will provide the Russian LOI by email only. This Supplier is based in Russia, so please make sure to check your SPAM folder – emails from addresses ending with .ru often get redirected as SPAM.
Some nationalities may require an original copy of the LOI – please contact the Russian Embassy or Consulate to confirm. If you do require an original copy, please send an email to email@example.com to request this. You will be required to provide a valid mailing address and cover the cost of postage to receive this document.
The LOI will contain 2 sections. The section on the right in Russian is identical to the section on the left in English. Beside 'Confirmation voucher SPC' you will find the confirmation/application/approval number you will need when filling out your visa application. The Supplier information can be found at the bottom of the left page in English (Supplier name can be found in the quotations, address, email, website and phone number follow).
At time of writing, the below documents will be needed to obtain your visa (however, we do advise you confirm this with your nearest Embassy):
1. A standard visa application form from the Embassy or Consulate where you will collect your visa
2. 2 colour, passport sized photos (taken within 14 days)
3. Payment for the visa (this will be dependent on nationality and will sometimes need to be made at a local nearby bank – check with your Embassy to confirm details)
4. Passport with empty pages and at least 6 months validity
5. Russia Letter of Invitation
6. We also recommend bringing your vouchers as well as proof of onward travel (flight tickets entering and leaving the country) and a copy of the itinerary, printable from our website. While this may not be needed, we recommend having a copy on hand if needed.
Please carefully check all the information below prior to submitting***
Once you have received your LOI you can apply for your visa by going to the Russian Embassy. Please remember that it is your responsibility to check whether passport details, name spelling and dates on the LOI are correct.
Please confirm the tour with the same passport you will be travelling with in Russia. If you happen to change passports before departure, please reach out to our Sales team with your new passport details so they can notify our teams on the ground.
Information accurate as of January 21st, 2016
Spending Money
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
Money Exchange
Money Exchange
During this tour the local currency you will use is the Russian Ruble. As currency exchange rates in Central Asia do fluctuate, we ask that you refer to the following website for the most up to date daily exchange rates: www.xe.com for each of the above mentioned currencies.
You will find that USD and EUR are the easiest to exchange in Russia (AUD and CAD can be exchanged also, mostly in big cities).
IMPORTANT: Due to bank restrictions, you will not be able to exchange banknotes printed earlier than 1996; and also notes with stamps or marks on them.
The most consistent way to get local currency is to exchange USD or EUR cash into Rubles but please understand the security risk of carrying large sums of money. A mix of cash, credit and debit cards are recommended but it is always good to have some cash on hand for situations where there are no other options available. A money belt is highly recommended to carry cash and important documents through Russia.
There are ATMs in each big city on the way: in all of them you can withdraw local currency. Major credit cards are accepted in the shops and restaurants almost everywhere in Russia.
Some banks in Moscow will allow cash advances against a credit card but these are subject to steep service charges and interest rates and should only be used in an emergency.
Emergency Fund
Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!
Departure Tax
Departure Tax is included in all International and Domestic tickets in Russia.
In Russia some restaurants include 10% service charge into the bill – check the menu before leaving a gratuity.
Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. There are several times during the trip where there is opportunity to tip the local guides or drivers we use. You may do this individually, or your CEO will offer to collect the money and tip as a group. Recommendations for tipping drivers and local guides would range from $1-$2 USD per person per day depending on the quality and length of the service; ask your CEO for specific recommendations based on the circumstances and culture.
At the end of your trip if you felt your G Adventures CEO did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline $20-25 USD per person per week can be used
Optional Activities
- Midnight Canal Boat Tour (800RUB per person)
- Peterhof Visit (1500RUB per person)
- Hermitage Museum Visit (400RUB per person)
- Museum of Flat Iron
- Alexander Garden Visit (Free)
- Saint Basil's Cathedral
- Lenin's Mausoleum (Free)
- Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts (300RUB per person)
Please note inoculations may be required for the country visited. It is your responsibility to consult with your travel doctor for up to date medical travel information well before departure.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information well before departure. We recommend that you carry a First Aid kit and hand sanitizers / antibacterial wipes as well as any personal medical requirements. Please be aware that sometimes we are in remote areas and away from medical facilities, and for legal reasons our leaders are prohibited from administering any type of drug including headache tablets, antibiotics, etc. In Asia pharmacies tend to stock the same western drugs as you get at home but they are usually produced locally so please bring the full drug name with you when trying to purchase a prescription drug. When selecting your trip please carefully read the brochure and itinerary and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please refer to the Physical and Culture Shock ratings for trip specific information. G Adventures reserves the right to exclude any traveller from all or part of a trip without refund if in the reasonable opinion of our CEO they are unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group.
Safety and Security
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewelery at home – you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. When travelling on a group trip, please note that your group leader has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it deemed necessary, due to safety concerns. Your Chief Experience Officer (CEO) will accompany you on all included activities. During your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy and explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location, please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgement when selecting an activity in your free time. Although the cities visited on tour are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions.
Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards), have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s).
Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk. Read more about travel safety for ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling.
Trip Specific Safety
We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewellery at home – you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage.
A Couple of Rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our group leader has the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your leader, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy we require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency evacuation and repatriation. A minimum coverage of USD200,000 is required. G Adventures can provide you with the appropriate coverage. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. Some tours include adventure activities that require extra coverage (e.g. crampon use); please review your itinerary and make sure that you are covered for all included activities. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.
Planeterra-The G Adventures Foundation
The Planeterra Foundation planeterra.org is a Canadian non-profit organization that helps empower local people to develop their communities, conserve their cultures, and create humane and supportive systems for their endeavours. Planeterra provides capacity building and catalyst grants to get community social enterprises off the ground. These businesses address local challenges by providing benefits for indigenous people, empowering marginalized women, and granting disadvantaged youth access to education, employment, and brighter futures. Planeterra also works to ensure these businesses have a thriving customer base by integrating programs into G Adventures' itineraries globally.
G Adventures is Planeterra's largest corporate donor, covering all operating costs so 100% of your donation will bring opportunity to people in need.
Dollar-a-Day Program
G Adventures' Dollar-a-Day Program provides travellers with the opportunity to give back to the people and places visited on our tours by donating one dollar for every day you are on trip. 100% of these donations go directly to support community development projects worldwide that are implemented by Planeterra.
Local Dress
When packing, be aware of local dress standards. Russia will definitely display the full spectrum from high fashion to extremely conservative. As a visitor, it's always best to dress conservatively, especially travelling into the more remote regions, as some areas are more religious/modest than others. Loose, lightweight, long clothing is both respectful and practical. As a general guideline shoulders and knees should be covered when visiting religious sites – shorts, singlets and tank tops are not suitable. For the train journey, comfortable "lounging" clothes are recommended with slip-on sandals and light layers to pile on and take off as temperature on the train fluctuates.
After your travels, we want to hear from you! Your feedback information is so important to us that we'll give you 5% off the price of your next G Adventures trip if your feedback is completed on-line within 30 days of finishing your trip. Your tour evaluation will be e-mailed to you 24 hours after the conclusion of your trip. If you do not receive the tour evaluation link in the days after your tour has finished, please drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will send it on to you.

World Cup 2019 Final- England / New Zealand:
ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 final match was played at Lord's in London between England and New zealand. The match first twice ended with scores level then England won the super over and declared as winner of 2019 cricket world cup.
How England Won World Cup 2019?
We had never seen such an impressive match before. England won the World Cup on 14th july in the most extraordinary conclusion. Ties are rare in ODIs but in this final match England was trying hard to chase New Zealand but ended up tied. This deadlock led to Super Over in which 6 extra balls were given. Unbelievably we got another tie. Eventually the winner was decided on the number of boundaries scored.

The Fujifilm 23mmF2 has already built a reputation in the short time it's been on the market. Some love it, some hate it, but the majority of the reports I have seen hold it in high regard. When I bought the Fuji 23, I did it on reputation without knowing whether it would suit my requirements. I've never shot 23mm (or at 35mm on my full frame) other than when I was shooting my 24-70 which would have covered this focal length in the range. The demand was high so I thought it wouldn't be hard to swap out if it didn't meet my requirements. Sometimes you just have to take a risk.
I expected the 23mm to be a fill in for my 35mm. The reality was somewhat different to what I expected. I found the 23 is now my preferred lens over the 35mm and a better carry around lens, because the 35 simply isn't wide enough for most indoors situations. It now makes sense why Fuji put a 23 on their x100. If you are headed out for an evening with the family with a small prime, the 23 is almost always my lens of choice because it's wide enough to get a great perspective indoors where you don't have the space to move backwards.
You'll often hear some of the lenses in Fuji's lineup called the Fujicron and this is one of them. If you are wondering where this comes from, Leica have a range of lenses called the Summicron which have a maximum aperture of f/2. I have no doubt that Fuji pays tribute to Leica in this way, the saying "Imitation is the greatest form of flattery" comes to mind. I also suspect the design elements pay homage to the old Leica 50 Summicron and the similarity in design isn't accidental.
Fuji X-T2 & 23mm f/2 – 1/60 @ f/16 ISO200
Packaging and construction
The 23mm FR packaging is in line with rest of Fuji's packaging. It's clean, classy, and as I mentioned in my X-T2 review, it has a stylish Apple like touch to it. To put it into perspective, If Samsung still made camera lenses, they'd be trying to copy Fuji's packaging.
The lens comes with the usual black pouch that Fuji provides with all of the premium lenses. It's useful but offers no protection other than from scratches in the bag. I'd really like to see manufacturers offer something with a little more padding but it's not a problem unique to Fuji.
The construction on the 23 f/2 hits the mark for premium quality construction. It's an all metal construction that is very difficult to fault. The shape might not be to everyone's liking but it's an effective configuration. The aperture ring is a good combination of stiffness but has a nice soft feel when rotating.
On top of that, the Fuji gains the benefit of weather sealing, a valuable asset for those doing street photography where you may find yourself in the elements. For those who think they can plan on the weather, try spending some time in Melbourne. There is a reason Crowded House wrote the song "Four seasons in one day" about Melbourne.
Fuji X-T2 & 23mm f/2 – 1/60 @ f/2 ISO2000
I'm not a fan of some of the Fuji hoods and this is one of them although I suspect some people may be split. I think the plastic hood just feels cheap and spoils an otherwise polished experience. Granted it does the job but for a company that prides themselves on good looking gear, it just doesn't match the grade. I'd prefer to see something metal, maybe in line with a square hood offered on some of the lenses. Fuji offers a vented metal hood but the pricing isn't what I consider reasonable, and I think it would have been better to charge a little more and include a metal hood. Realistically, I think the manufacturing cost on the square hood would probably have been about $10 which would not have been a big impact on the pricing.
I've avoided saying sharpness because whilst I like sharp lenses, I don't have the means or technical knowledge to scientifically test this lens so any mention more than "I like it, it's very sharp" is probably going to go into a territory where I'm going to come off pretending that I know more than I do. Maybe I'm not new age enough, but when someone says "Look at the micro-contrast on this", I see contrast, much the same as when my wife shows me 4 different variations of white napkins, I just see them all as white.
The second challenge is whilst I have had some good lenses, I'm not going to pretend I've owned $2500 Nikon primes or $4000 Leica's. For starters, if you are buying those, this lens probably isn't targeted at you anyway.
It's difficult to compare the 23 f/2 to many lenses on the market because there aren't many lenses in this category and price range. I've only had the fullframe 20 f/1.8G and 50 f/1.4. The Nikon 20mm f/1.8 has stunning image quality but it comes in at nearly double the price, the 50 f/1.4 only really yields good quality when you stop it down to f/2.8. Neither have Fuji's build quality, and I don't have the 23 f/1.4 so I can't compare to that.
Fuji X-T2 & 23mm f/2 – 1/250 @ f/2 ISO6400
On paper, with the current price tag and only f/2 as the widest aperture, the 23 seems to lag, but sometimes looks can be deceiving and I think we've become tied to the idea that f/1.4 is where all the good lenses are at.
The other challenge with producing a f/1.4 lens is the cost associated with trying to produce a sharp lens wide open. If you do manage to get something sharp like the Sigma ART, it comes at the expense of size and weight, and even if you're lucky enough to keep those down to a minimum, the AF speed tends to be horrible on f/1.4's and only barely acceptable on the f/1.8's.
By staying with f2, Fuji has been able to produce a great all rounder…a lens which is very sharp, has great AF speed and is still small enough to carry around. This is one of the exact reasons the X100 has found so much success because having a small camera is better than no camera at all, and a small lens that gives great quality is more like to be carried than a large lens that is too heavy to carry. Obviously this comes at the expense of aperture and while I am someone that likes to shoot wide open, 23mm isn't one of the areas I feel the need to do it often. The best way I can describe it is that it's sharp enough to keep most buyers happy for what they want. It's not a Sigma ART, but it also weighs less than a third of a Sigma so you need to put things into perspective.
The lens isn't perfect, it's marginally soft wide open, mainly when you shoot something close to the camera at minimum focus distance but I don't think this is a problem because I don't believe this type of lens is designed to shoot at the minimum focal distance and expect its best results. It's a street lens, hence the weather resistance.
Fuji X-T2 & 23mm f/2 – 1/125 @ f/2 ISO6400
I came from a Nikon world where good primes focussed slower than a child with attention deficit disorder. If you had a f/1.4, it was sharp and focussed slowly, if you had a f/1.8, it was soft and focussed quicker, but nothing came close to the sports lenses like the 70-200 f/2.8.
The AF on the 23 f/2 is a revelation. It's very quiet, well beyond what I have become accustomed to, and the AF speed of the lens is phenomenal. Obviously 23mm is not your first choice in sports lens, but this lens is fairly capable of keeping up with most action and that makes it amazing for any movement in street photography that requires it to focus quickly and accurately.
I've seen some bad reviews of this lens and I'm a little surprised. Maybe Fuji has produced some bad batch of lenses, or maybe the expectations for those coming from the 23 f/1.4 were unrealistic. Having never had the 23 f/1.4 I can't vouch for it's sharpness over the 23 f/2. What I can say is that this is an amazing piece of glass and it is normally the first piece of glass to find itself into my camera bag if I am travelling light.
With two bodies, it's likely to be attached to one permanently and if I go out anywhere with a single prime, there is a 90% chance it will be this one unless I know I'm only going to be doing portraits.
If you don't have one of these, I'd highly recommend it as an addition.

Parkers Farm Holiday Cottages & Caravans in Devon
Hey there and welcome to the blog. We've just returned from a two night stay at Parkers Farm Holiday Cottages & Caravans in Devon. We had a wonderful weekend, organised and planned for us by Visit Dartmoor. The weather was a bit hit and miss, with rain on Saturday. I give up trying to plan anything around the weather. You just can't in the UK can you?!
Anyways, weather aside, we had a fab time and today we're sharing with you some photos and thoughts on our stay. If you're looking for somewhere family-friendly, just on the edge of Dartmoor and with good access to all the attractions then carry on reading!
Self-Catering Cottages and Caravans
Parkers Farm Holiday Cottages & Caravans is a small holiday park based in South Devon. They have five cottages and 18 static caravans on the farm, and they're putting in a couple of lodges with hot tubs soon! All the cottages are dog friendly, with some of the caravans open to four-legged friends too. We stayed in a static caravan at the top of the farm. The views across Devon were really beautiful.
Comfy Caravans
Our caravan was brilliant. Literally home from home. We've done a lot of static caravan stays since having little man and always have a great time. No more trips to Cuba for us!
This caravan has a large, open plan lounge, diner and kitchen, as well as three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It was spacious, clean and tidy, and felt cosy once we put the fire on in the evening.
The kitchen comes equipped with dishwasher, fridge/freezer, oven and all utensils and crockery. You'll need to remember to pack your own dish towels and washing up stuff. Also pack a few dishwasher tabs too. We ate out both nights of our stay so we didn't really have a lot of washing up to do!
If you do find yourself washing up on an evening, be sure to take a look out of the windows over towards the fields. You'll see all the rabbits grazing as the sun sets.
We stayed early October and had no problems with heating our caravan. It comes with double glazed windows and central heating.
As for sleeping, B always loves the little single bedrooms. We typically move the bedside table and push the beds together as they are quite narrow. B still wriggles a lot at night and I think he'd fall out without the extra room. One tip too if you have littles – pack a nightlight. Typically these caravans only have the top lights, and well, if you have a little one that likes sleeping with a light on, the top ones can be a bit bright. Whenever we stay anywhere now, I always pack one of those plug-in lights. For more packing tips, take a read here.
The master bedroom is spacious for a caravan. There's wardrobe space, bedside tables, lamps and an en-suite bathroom with sink and toilet. The shower in the main bathroom was hot and the pressure was good too.
Outside you have your own parking space, as well as decking and rattan furniture and cushions. We didn't use the decking other than to take some photos of the views. If you stay during summer though, it would be wonderful to sit out and enjoy a wine or two and watch the sun set.
The photo above was taken just before the grey clouds rolled in!
Farm Fun
Parkers Farm has a number of animals that you can help feed in the morning. Bran loved this and enjoyed feeding the calf and sheep their milk.
Well, Dad enjoyed feeding them while B watched!
He was a bit wary of the chickens though and wouldn't have them peck the seed from his hand.
Dad had to hold the guinea pig too!
He also gave the pigs a wide berth too! They are friendly though and had no interest in Bran once they were eating.
If you have young kids then feeding the animals is a real treat in the morning. Not something you typically get at other holiday parks.
Onsite Facilities
Fortunately we've never had to make use of the onsite laundry when we've been away. But in case you do, Parkers Farm have one. Perfect with little ones or if you're staying longer than a few nights.
Want the little ones to run off some steam before bedtime? Head to the children's play area. There's a climbing frame, swings and a trampoline.
Just down the hill, you'll find Parkers Farm Holiday Park which is home to Miss Piggy's Bar & Restaurant. There's also a games room with pool table and table tennis. You'll also find a shop onsite too which stocks all the essentials.
Great Location
Parkers Farm Holiday Cottages & Caravans is located just off the A38 between Plymouth and Exeter. It's a great base for exploring South Devon and Dartmoor. There are loads of attractions literally within a 20 minute drive of the site. We enjoyed a day out at the Otter and Butterfly Farm, the Rare Breed Farm in Totnes and the House of Marbles, as well as a trip on the South Devon Railway. You also have the coastal towns, Torquay, Paignton and Brixham not far too.
Perfect Holiday for Families
If you're looking for clean, comfortable accommodation, in the heart of Devon then we'd absolutely recommend Parkers Farm Holiday Cottages & Caravans. The caravans had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Bran loved feeding the farm animals, while Mum and Dad admired the views of Devon. For more photos from our trip, be sure to follow us on social: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter!
Disclaimer: We were invited to stay at Parkers Farm Holiday Cottages & Caravans as part of a South Devon break organised by Visit Dartmoor. All thoughts and opinions are our own and honest. We had a fab time!

Throughout the process we have worked very closely with TagEvac and have come up with an ideal solution….the Fire Brigade were certainly very impressed and expressed their views that TagEvac is a very good product.
TagEvac have provided us with a way we could capture information at our Central Control Point so we can see the evacuation in real time at one place. I am happy with the product, service and attention to our specific requirements.
We believe that the TAGEVAC® system provides the Academy with a professional, comprehensive and effective solution… We are very happy with the solution and the support we received from start to finish.
For a multi-storey building with multiple occupants, I can see that the system is of significant benefit to the University in being able to keep track of which areas have been effectively "cleared" by the fire wardens (and, perhaps more importantly, which ones haven't).
Adopting TagEvac has simplified and speeded up the reporting process. I gave my fire wardens 5 minutes training on how to use the system and they got it straight away!

If you own a motorcycle in Skokie, IL, you are probably looking for two things in your insurance policy: Great coverage and inexpensive cost. The only way to make certain that you get the price you want on your motorcycle coverage is to do some smart shopping. Like everything else that you can buy in life, you can get better prices when you do comparison shopping.
Most insurance companies will offer you a wide range of policy types, but the actual choice that you get in regards to rates is pretty limited. For example, you might be able to choose your deductible and the exact kind of coverage that you have, but you will be given one single rate based upon that policy. Each insurance company will give you their price, but they certainly won't give you their competitor's prices.
One way to shop around is to call a lot of different major insurance providers to ask if they provide motorcycle insurance, and if so what kind of rates they offer on the policy. Repeat this three, four, or more times and you'll have several different prices to compare. The big drawback to this approach is that you will have to spend hours making all those calls.
One excellent alternative is to work with an independent agent like Bob Korvas. Our agents work with many different motorcycle insurance companies. We secure quotes from several different motorcycle insurers at one time, and then we present those quotes to you. It saves you tons of time, and it also gives you the choice regarding exactly which policy you pick and how much you end up paying.
Comparison shopping is a great thing when it comes to motorcycle coverage! We can give you several quotes from major providers, and our agents will make sure that you have the range of options that you need.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act does more than help to ensure that all children with special needs receive a proper and adequate education. It also helps to ensure that if special needs students have disciplinary issues, they are given access to a fair due process hearing under certain circumstances.
IDEA insists that schools conduct a process called a manifestation determination review when special needs students are accused of certain kinds of disciplinary behaviors. This particular review process is meant to determine whether or not the child's disability is linked to the behavior(s) that he or she is accused of. The process ultimately helps to protect special needs kids from being unduly punished for behaviors directly linked to their disabilities.
Schools are only required to conduct these reviews under certain circumstances. For example, if a child is being disciplined in ways that do not alter his or her placement in school and is only being removed from the classroom for fewer than 10 consecutive days of school, a review need not occur.
Reviews must occur however, when a child's placement is altered due to a code of student conduct violation. Members of the child's individual educational program team are involved in the review process.
When manifestation determination reviews do occur, parents generally may both consult an attorney experienced in matters of special education and may bring that attorney to the review. That attorney may then help to ensure that all of the child's rights under IDEA and other laws are properly respected.

To celebrate our 9-year mark, we thought we'd make a number of "9 lists" to run alongside our amazing "12 for 9" promotion through the month of October.
So to kick things off, here are 9 traits of a great leader.
#1 - Great leaders are humble
Being humble means asking your team for input and being a great listener because, guess what? You don't always have all the answers. Great leaders are not threatened by another's success because they understand the company's mission: to turn a profit.
#2 - Great leaders leave their mark
The great leaders leave an extremely positive mark on the company as they exit. They shift the company culture toward a more productive and happier light and inspire everyone to continue to dream bigger.
#3 - Great leaders promote growth in others
Jack Welch once said, "Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others." And he's absolutely, 100% right on the money. Truly great leadership is inspiring and helping your staff continually improve and achieve more success.
#4 - Great leaders communicate
Whether it's sharing company updates or discussing the company's goals, great leaders clearly express every talking point. They're great at handling the communication channels, ensuring two-way discussions set clear expectations with employees and themselves.
#5 - Great leaders are loyal
One of the most important tenets of a working relationship is trust. And the great leaders garner respect by maintaining a sense of loyalty with their delegation and open communication with employees.
#6 - Great leaders value recognition
Recognizing employee accomplishments serves so many purposes. It boosts morale and individual productivity, it inspires employees to want to impress more often, and it's a simple act of kindness that can pay dividends on the company culture down the road.
#7 - Great leaders have tremendous discipline
Discipline isn't always about being cool and calm under pressure. Discipline in business is having the wherewithal to make decisions stick like glue. Discipline is having the courage to set a project down a path without feeling the need to pump the brakes every 5 miles. And tremendous discipline is about staying rigid in the face of failure.
#8 - Great leaders empathize
Leaders who empathize with their team gain trust and energize relationships because they're willing to put an ear to the ground. That empathy makes employees' voices feel important and encourages more open dialogue.
#9 - Great leaders burn the midnight oil
All the company culture talk, the inspiring work ethic stories, the quotes - none of them matter if your company doesn't produce. Great leadership is about putting in the effort and time to make sure all the wheels are spinning in the right direction. Hard work inspires harder work.

With the bases loaded in a potential game-ending situation, if the batter-runner is awarded first base (such as a base on balls), all runners must touch their advance base. If one of them does not, he may be out on appeal. The appeal would be a force out and might take away the winning run.
[OBR: time play rules and force rules do not apply in this situation. If the batter-runner touches first base and the runner from third touches home, the game is over.]

The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August
by Claire North
Harry's lives always begin in the same way, place and time and with the same mandate - his kind must not change human history on a large scale. But what if not all agree? Philip K Dick meets Len Deighton - in this enthralling, dryly witty, page-turner.
'In a little over twenty years man will walk on the moon. Hundreds of thousands will die in Vietnam for no apparently sensible reason. ... We know all of this and we do ... nothing. I'm not suggesting we change the world. I'm not suggesting we know how. What will the future be if these things do not come to pass? But we must do ... something.'
She tutted.
I found the gesture strangely annoying.

Microgaming Debuts Village People: Macho Moves at This Year's ICE
Among exhibitors in the UK, capital is one of the biggest names in the business, the Isle of Man-headquartered producer of online gaming content, Microgaming.
Plenty of New Additions
Microgaming used the opportunity to add new titles to its extensive portfolio of video slots. One of these new releases is a new game titled Village People: Macho Moves.
Launched earlier this week, Village People: Macho Moves is developed exclusively for Microgaming by Fortune Factory Studios, and as its title suggests, the slot game is inspired by one of the biggest names of the disco scene of the 1970s, the American American disco group called Village People.
The group was best known for their on-stage costumes, catchy tunes, and suggestive lyrics. Players can look forward to seeing the six original members of this band on the reels, while the game will use some of the groups biggest musical hits, such as the hit singles "Macho Man", "In the Navy", "Go West" and their biggest hit, "Y.M.C.A.".
According to Microgaming, this six-reel video slot is a mobile-friendly game and will become available to operators later in the year.
The first day of this year's ICE Totally Gaming was extremely exciting for Microgaming, as the renowned developer hosted a special live DJ set, used to introduce another new arrival.
We're talking about to famous female super spy Jane Blonde, who is making a comeback on the reels in the new Agent Jane Blonde Returns video slot, a game developed by the South African gaming company Stormcraft Studios.
A Lot More Waiting for Visitors
This is the second game featuring this super agent, after the original, which hit the market more than a decade ago, proved to be a smashing hit.
During ICE Totally Gaming, which Microgaming described as the largest exhibition of the online gaming industry, the company will be present on stand N5-120 at ExCel London, where visitors will have the chance to see everything the gaming giant has prepared for us, including the punk-themed game Shogun of Time, developed in partnership with Just For The Win.
To round up the event, Microgaming will showcase the latest Lara Croft video slot, which arrives thanks to a new agreement with Square Enix. The two sides have been working together for more than 15 years, and it all began with the launch of the first-ever licensed branded slot game – Lara Croft: Tomb Raider back in 2004.
But that's not all, since Slingshot Studios will premier Banana Odyssey, while Microgaming's British partner Switch Studios debuts the new Blackjack table games.
Microgaming's official statement said that presenting six independent game studios on the stand, each on a mission to develop exclusive content for Microgaming's customers worldwide, the leading software supplier would invite attendees to immerse themselves in all the stunning artwork, mechanics and new features of the company's very latest releases.

3 year old independence
Recently my three year old has become a lot more independent. He is simply able to do a lot more for himself - from reaching things to toileting, feeding to dressing himself. He delights in doing things without help - often insisting loudly, "I can do it myself!" And he is asserting himself with his older brothers, too. In recent months some friends have asked me whether he will be going to nursery, and I have been considering it. I have heard friends say how independent their three year old has become 'since starting nursery' and I worry that my boy will be missing out on some crucial and foundational educational process if I do not enrol him in September. The interesting thing is observing that three year olds become more independent. Could it be that this happens because of their stage of development - with or without nursery? My little son and I have talked about whether he wants to go to nursery or not. He has strong opinions. We have visited a number of local nurseries together to check out the opportunities on offer. One of them had an awesome pirate ship climbing frame which my son thought was a great attraction. But none of them have blown me away. In fact none of them really seem to offer anything better than home - and some of them, far less. In some, I have surveyed the crowd of little faces looking up to greet us and just felt sad. Sad that we parents are told repeatedly that these 'settings' are the best places for our tiny children, that we come to believe they are better separated from us, that this is necessary for their development. I'm not convinced. I know that there are many situations where parents need to put their children into childcare, and I know too that there are many super nurseries where staff work hard and children are well looked after. My three older sons all went to nursery and had many positive experiences there. But we ought not to be led to believe that this is the best and only course for us as parents. We have decided my smallest son will not go to nursery. He will just continue learning, playing and growing at home with his older brothers. Some people might say that choice is a luxury and whilst, in some ways, I know that I am fortunate to be at home with the boys, it is just that - a choice. Whether our children are in nursery or not, as they grow in independence, we can all find ways to give them more of ourselves, our time, our attention, our company and conversation, to build those strong relational foundations, that sense of belonging, from which small children can step out and explore the world. Whether our children are at home or at school, giving them more of ourselves - especially when we are all tired and grumpy - is continually the greatest challenge of all.

Metal X – COMPLETE 3D METAL PRINTING SOLUTION FROM MARKFORGED
The Metal Printing Industrial Revolution
The Metal X delivers metal parts overnight. It uses a new technology and parts are a fraction of the cost of regular metal components. Instantly leave 20th century manufacturing behind, creating anything from industrial replacement parts to injection moulds to working prototypes. Built on already proven technology the Metal X comes as a bundle and includes the wash station and sintering oven. The filament based material is very cost effective making metal additive manufacturing attractive to businesses of all sizes.
Metal X Materials
17-4 PH & 316L stainless steel
1.4542 (17-4 PH) Stainless steel is ideal for post-processing in CNC milling and turning and is resistant to corrosion up to 800 ° C. For example, it was also used for the drive roller for the fiber system on the Mark X.
1.4305 (316L) stainless steel combines enormous stability, corrosion resistance and hardness. Therefore, it is widely used in aerospace engineering, medical technology and the petroleum industry. It has also been used on Mark X fixtures and tools.
A2 Tool Steel & D2 Tool Steel
3D printing H13 tool steel, a material optimized for high temperature and wear applications. It is used for molds and die castings, wear liners and tools as well as for stamping and dies. When heat treated, it can achieve a Rockwell hardness of 46 to 50 and a tensile strength of 1500 MPa.
A2 tool steel is air-hardened and has excellent impact resistance. We use it for punches, dies and molds on our industrial series printers.
D2 is an air-hardened tool steel with high carbon and chromium content and tames with high hardness and abrasion resistance. It is often used for cutting tools and dies.
IN legering 625
Inconel's strength combined with its impressive heat resistance makes it ideal for heat and pressure shielding applications. This Nickel-based superalloy is commonly used in jet engines and medical applications, and is very hard to machine. It is also very chemically resistant.
Titanium Ti-6Al-4V
Bearing the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal, Titanium 6-4 is ideal for lightweight applications and has both high tensile strength and fatigue resistance. This bio-compatible material is widely used in medical applications such as orthopedic joint replacements.
ADAM Technology – A brief guide
Atomic Diffusion Additive Manufacturing
The Metal X uses an innovative technology to 3D print metal. Metal powder appears in the printing material in a very high concentration and is spooled, therefore it can be delivered via a heated nozzle.
This means printing is done by the already proven FDM process. Reassuringly, it's completely without the toxic metal dust usually associated with metal printing. The sintering process that follows causes atomic diffusion (ADAM). This is due to the heat, the atoms shift slightly and stick together, resulting in an overnight metal part.
Upon completion the components achieve excellent mechanical properties and enormous rigidity in all directions.
ADAM allows the creation of unique geometry, such as closed honeycomb structures. As a result components that resemble a complex bone structure can also be realised with the Metal X. In other words a closed cell inside, encased in a sturdy outer shell.
Unsurprisingly, this geometry cannot be manufactured with a traditional subtractive methods or even with direct metal laser sintering process (DMLS). This means that the Metal X will allow you and other engineers to find new ways to change the world.
Large construction volume, high-quality resolution
The Metal X has a large construction volume. This enables the production of major components, end-use parts or spare parts in a range of materials quickly and inexpensively.
Components can be printed with a layer height of 50 μm, therefore even the smallest details can have the highest precision.
Print components with predictable precision and tolerance
Highly stable 3D printed components designed for industrial applications require innovative and intelligent software. It is for this reason that Eiger is easy to use and allows you to easily control the stability and quality of your prints. With a cloud version shipped with every machine, Eiger offers you the benefits of automatically improving functionality, through seamless updates.

A total of 268 solar panels installed on top of the airport's reservoir system, which provides 500 million litres of water – the equivalent of 200 Olympic sized swimming – to both passenger terminals, as well as servicing all the offices and businesses on the airport campus.
The solar farm is part of an energy agreement between daa and ESB to achieve an overall target of 33% reduction energy consumption at the airport by 2020.
Daa's chief executive, Dalton Philips, said the company was working closely with ESB to identify opportunities to use low carbon technologies to improve energy performance at the airport.
"We are committed to working in partnership with ESB to reduce our energy consumption by 33% by 2020," he stated.
"We want to be leaders in this area and help Ireland meet its national obligations in the process."
Dublin Airport is already Airport Carbon Accredited, as part of a Europe-wide airport carbon management certification programme that covers more than half of European air passenger traffic.
"Over the past three years Dublin Airport succeeded in reducing its carbon footprint by 5,000 tonnes, which is equivalent to a 10% reduction in carbon emissions under its control," noted Philips.
"We are looking forward to building on this performance and making even more energy savings that will also benefit the travelling public through sustainable environmental performance and annual cost savings."
ESB is leading Ireland's transition to reliable, affordable, low-carbon energy.
Its Smart Energy Services business line helps large customers lower their carbon footprint, improving energy efficiency while deliver savings on their energy costs.
The consultancy provides capital funding, energy management services and implementation of energy projects for businesses which are large users of energy.
Dublin Airport welcomed a record 29.6 million passengers in 2017, a 6% increase over the same period last year.

We need more pickled vegetables on our plates!
- Timm Kuster
Note: The following article is an edited transcript from the video.
That's a good comment because I also think pickled vegetables are great.
I didn't do much pickling until my last cookbook Amazing Food Made Easy: Healthy Sous Vide. In that one I did 2 different pickled vegetable recipes and it showed me just how easy it is to use sous vide for pickling.
For one I did a normal cucumber dill pickle recipe that I cooked at about 140°F (60°C) to 145°F (62.8°C). At that temperature it doesn't really tenderize the cucumbers much, so they retain their crispness while absorbing the pickling flavors.
Do you worry you're not getting the most out of your sous vide machine?
Quickly level up your sous vide game! Make perfect meats, master searing, and discover the sous vide times and temperatures you need to make everyday food amazing and impress your friends and family with the Sous Vide Quick Start Course!
The second was a spicy carrot recipe. Here I used 183°F (83.9°C), a temperature high enough to start to tenderize the vegetables.
For more information on different types of pickling methods, check out my recipes on How to Pickle.
The biggest benefit of using sous vide for pickling is the ability to easily select how much you want it to be tenderized. The longer you leave it in the water bath, the more tender the vegetables will become. That makes it easy to follow a normal pickling process.
I haven't made recipes for canning yet because I haven't done enough research to feel comfortable producing shelf-stable pickles with the canning process and the temperatures it uses. But for normal vinegar pickles, sous vide works great. You make a normal pickling brine, fill a container with carrots or green beans or any vegetable, add the brine and sous vide it for 40 to 60 minutes depending on the vegetable. You're going to end up with crisp, flavorful pickles. It's a good way to make pickles with very little cleanup; I always consider that a big benefit!
So, I agree ... put more pickles on the plate and use sous vide to make them!
If you like this you can get more than 85 inspiring recipes to get you on your way to sous vide success. It's all in my best selling book Modernist Cooking Made Easy: Sous Vide - Get Your Copy Today!

I didn't get picked for jury duty! I mean, for the actual trial. I did have to sit in a courtroom with 35 other perspective jurors and answer a bunch of voir dire questioning and then individual questions from 11am until 4pm. The case was a personal injury suit, and I'm confused as to how it escalated to the Federal level (Jennifer, a little help?). The guy was suing for monetary damages after sustaining a foot injury at work, and they found me to be an undesirable juror since I'd had foot injuries of my own, had a family member who was a plaintiff in a personal injury suit, and happened to have a friend who's an assistant US Attorney at the same courthouse. I still had to sit there all day until they made their selections. I finished reading Rick Steves' guide to Belgium, though! And I'm off the jury pool list for at least two years. I'm not too scared about getting picked again, not because I don't think it's likely but because they made it clear from the video they showed us once we were all checked in that Federal cases do not include crimes of passion, i.e. homicide. Personal injury and white collar crimes? Now those I can handle!
I didn't get to listen to my iPod once I got off the bus yesterday and got in line for the metal detectors to get into the courthouse, which was brutal because I've been playing this new, bonus-track, unreleased Keane song non-stop since I got it. And how did I get it, you ask? Well, Keane was giving away a limited number of downloads of it if you played a game on their facebook page. Ahem. Obviously I jumped at the opportunity, and I was rewarded with this beautiful, beautiful song. It is so perfect, and reminds me so much of their first album. I don't know how I'm going to survive until May 7th when the rest of the album comes out, but this song is definitely tiding me over.
I don't think I told you, but I'm finally going to go see them live! I got tickets to their show here in June through a mailing-list only presale a few weeks ago. Tickets went on sale at 10am and I was literally refreshing the page over and over from 9:58 to be the first one on. They were relatively cheap ($45!) so I snatched up two without blinking, and last week I got my seat assignment. You guys. I've seriously out-done myself this time:
It's okay to be jealous. I actually can't believe my luck. I found out that Keane is also playing a one-off show in Paris one of the night's we'll be there in May, and I'm seriously debating buying tickets for that show, too. I'm already "dragging" Boyfriend (I say that facetiously, he is adorably excited to go with me) to one show here, maybe I'll relent and not throw a concert into our trip itinerary.
Speaking of trip itinerary, I'm in the process of organizing a bunch of wonderful guest-bloggers for that week+ and am so excited and thrilled to share them with you! Not just yet, though. You'll have to wait another month to find out!
