A 32-year-old police officer, who was arrested on 30 November last year and charged with possession of drugs, made his second appearance in the Keetmanshoop Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.
The accused, Andries Haman, appeared before Magistrate Melissa Mungunda, who postponed his case to 28 February for the docket to be brought before court.
During his first court appearance on 04 December, Haman indicated that he would acquire the services of a private lawyer, Shafi Shimakeleni, who represented him on Wednesday, 05 February.
Haman, who is now out on N$500 bail, was originally arrested after he reported for duty while under the influence of alcohol.
He was found with two, half Mandrax tablets and one gram of pure cannabis valued at N$110 in his possession, following a search by a member of the Police Drug Unit.
In an another matter, a 44-year-old man who was arrested on Tuesday and charged with possession of drugs, made his first court appearance before the same magistrate, who postponed his case to 24 April for further police investigation.
The accused, Ludwig Jonker, was represented by privately-instructed defence lawyer Percy McNally.
Jonker was released on bail of N$3,000.
Namibian Police //Kharas crime investigations coordinator, Deputy Commissioner Chrispin Mubebo, told Nampa that Jonker was arrested during a random search by the police in the Tseiblaagte residential area.
"He was arrested with 50 full Mandrax tablets valued at N$5,000 after his car was searched and the tablets found underneath the driver's seat," Mubebo said.
Joas Neemwatya represented the State in both cases. NAMPA

Autumn is by far my favorite season. I'm all about crisp days, crunchy leaves and comfort food. The warm flavors and spices of autumn lure me in. This Bourbon Sweet Potato Bread Pudding definitely fits the comfort food bill. I love bread pudding and all the different variations you can make. Craving a little tropical flavor? Then this Coconut Banana Bread Pudding Recipe is for you. Coconut, bananas and a drizzle of salted caramel make this an awesome dessert.
Maybe you like waffles for breakfast with thick, maple syrup and bacon. This Maple Bread Pudding Recipe channels breakfast into a spectacular dessert by using waffles instead of crusty bread. Crisp bacon and buttery pecans and of course, maple syrup combine to form the ultimate dessert that thinks it's related to breakfast.
In this case, this Bourbon Sweet Potato Bread Pudding recipe is like eating sweet potato casserole in dessert form. Fluffy mashed sweet potatoes are gently folded into this bread pudding along with toasty, gooey marshmallows. A sprinkle of buttery pecans on top adds a pleasant nutty crunch.
This bread pudding recipe is perfect as a decadent brunch treat when you have friends or family over for the holidays. It also makes a fantastic sweet treat after a holiday feast. The best part is that this can be made ahead. Put all the ingredients together in your baking dish then cover and refrigerate overnight or until you're ready to bake it up.
Once you're ready to bake up this Bourbon Sweet Potato Bread Pudding recipe, simply remove it from the refrigerator and pop it into the oven. About an hour later, you'll have this delightful warm bread pudding to dig into. A drizzle of maple syrup finishes it off because well, what's not to love about maple and bourbon together?
Oh did I forget to mention the bourbon? Oh yes, this sweet treat has a touch of boozy wonder to it that complements all the incredible elements in this bread pudding. Sweet, spiced, nutty, this recipe has it all going on and you're going to want to make it as soon as possible. You won't regret it.

We hold meetings every few months to discuss and decide upon upcoming events – some of which include a fireworks night, live bands, comedy night, pub quiz and coffee morning. We are also heavily involved in the schools community projects like the SEN garden, the Wellbeing Room supporting mental health and The Den supporting our rewards system. We also support school events across the year, welcoming new families to the school, assisting with charity coffee mornings plus other occasions.
It is best to keep up to date with Chessington PTA via social media. You can find us on Facebook and on Twitter. We do send out newsletters once or twice a year but generally most of our news and whats on will come via Facebook.

We are always looking for new committee members, grateful for help at events, a fresh pair of eyes and new ideas so do please get in touch if you would like to be involved.
Annual AGM
This PTA has been operating since September 2017 and we have had one AGM to date. Our next AGM will be held Autumn 2018 term and we currently have ONE vacancy for the position of Secretary. We also hope to recruit many new members each term. You are all welcome to attend the AGM and a notice will be sent prior to the meeting.

Sunday January 25th at 10:23 UT (0:23 am CST) our Moon will be crossing the plane of the ecliptic moving south. This is known as the descending node, one of two intersections the Moon's orbital path (dark green line) has with the ecliptic.
That evening, Sunday, the waxing crescent Moon will be over the western horizon below the stars of Aries the Ram. The three brightest stars form a small bent line with the brightest star, Hamal, at the top end of the line.

Specsavers Launches Confronting 'Priceless Eyes' Campaign Via Cummins&Partners
In response to a growing concern that Australians aren't taking preventative measures to look after their eye health, Specsavers has launched a confronting eye heath awareness campaign, titled The Priceless Eyes Project, via independent agency Cummins&Partners.
Masquerading as Vesper-Sacs, an advanced medical research company searching for live test subjects, Specsavers posed a shocking question to Australians: how much would you sell your eyes for? People were unanimous – they wouldn't give up their sight for any amount, proving the point that our eyes are priceless.
Specsavers marketing director, Sarah McInnes said: "We created this campaign because we're concerned about people not understanding the crucial importance of preventative eye care. No one should suffer from avoidable vision loss and blindness in Australia but they are, unnecessarily. We knew that if we were going to be successful in getting people to stop and really think about their eyes we needed to create something really powerful and meaningful."
Creative director at Cummins&Partners, Chris Ellis, said: "The team started with a human truth – you wouldn't trade your eyes for anything. We then put it to the test in a real scenario. The result is genuine emotion from everyday Australians when confronted with the prospect of a world without vision – it's undeniable.
"The best advertising doesn't just get people to think, but act. We believe this compelling piece of work will do both," Cummins&Partners chief creative officer, Sean Cummins, added.
Unlike many other chronic health conditions like cancer and heart disease, eye health does not get a lot of media attention and is not on people's radar. In the past year, less than 1 in 4 Australians visited an optometrist to get their eyes tested, meaning millions of Australians are putting their sight needlessly at risk.
The Priceless Eyes Project launched yesterday, Sunday 9 September 2018, in Australia across TV, online, social media and print.

Whether you're looking for a back to school word search for your classroom or for your children at home, I hope you enjoy this free printable!
Working on puzzles, including word searches, has a variety of benefits for both children and adults. They can help improve spelling, letter and word recognition, and problem solving skills (just to name a few!).
This back to school word search features 20 education themed words to seek and find, including:
- Alphabet
- Apple
- Backpack
- Binder
- Books
- Bus
- Classroom
- Desk
- Learn
- Locker
- Lunchbox
- Notebook
- Paper
- Pencil
- Recess
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Student
- Teacher
- Whiteboard
Tips for using printables
This post includes affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission on purchases made through links at no additional cost to you.
Using printables is pretty straightforward, but these tips will help you make the most of these word searches and any other free printables you find!
It's easy to make this printable reusable if you use a laminator or dry erase pocket.
A dry erase pocket is basically a super strength page protector that's designed for use with dry (or wet) erase markers. It's a good alternative if you don't have a laminator.
- Set of 10 Super heavyweight clear erasable pocket, For papers up to 9" x 12"
- Ideal for work stations - no need to replenish paper - just wipe away and start again
- Write on and wipe off, Go green, Use over and over again, Use low-odor dry erase markers (included)
If you find yourself using a lot of free printables, consider purchasing an at home laminating machine. They're very affordable and pay for themselves in about 10-20 uses when compared to the price of laminating at a copy shop.
- Laminates items up to 9 inches wide
- Two roller system for a professional finish
- Suitable for use with photos
If you chose to protect your pages for reuse, you may want to go ahead and print them on presentation paper so they look their best. Presentation paper is heavier than printer paper and has a special coating for crisp, vibrant images.
The difference is more noticeable in real life, but the mermaid bingo card on the left was printed on presentation paper while the one on the right was printed on cardstock.
For one-time use, just plain printer paper is fine.
Final tip: If you're shopping for back to school season, you need a free Ebates account. (They're called Rakuten now, but same thing.) You can earn cash back from a zillion different places, including WalMart, Target, and Amazon!
Free printable back to school word searches
As always here on The Artisan Life, these printables are available free for personal use.
You can print and use them with your own kids, in your homeschool co-op, Sunday school class, or personal classroom, but please do not redistribute the digital files. Instead, just refer your friends and colleagues to this post so they can download the puzzles for themselves. 🙂
This is a more challenging word search for a child – younger kids may need some assistance. The words can be hidden forwards, backwards, and diagonally. The backwards words are (I think) trickiest to find!
To help you, I am also including an answer key.
These previews are just low resolution images. Please see below for download information!
First there's the puzzle with a paperclip background for a fun, school vibe. The paperclips are easy on your colored ink and would also look fine printed in black and white.
Then there's the same puzzle with a stack of books and an apple in the background. This one uses a little more ink and wouldn't translate as well into black and white.
Finally, there's a plain, only black and white version of the word search without any extra adornments. This is obviously the most ink-friendly version!
Where to download your school word search puzzles
Normally, I place all free printables in the Member's Resource Library. However, I'm a former classroom teacher with a soft spot for school (yes, I'm a nerd and I'm okay with that) so:
You can download the plain black and white school word search with answer key right here!
The two colored versions are located in the Resource Library. (Actually, all three versions are in the same file along with the answer key.) All you need to do is input your password to log in and download away!
If you don't have a password yet, or forget it, just use the form below to let me know where to send your password. You will also be enrolled in my twice a month newsletter with updates on the latest freebies. (Let's be real – I'm a #toddlermom. You'll probably only hear from me once a month.)
No matter which version you download and whether or not you become a member, I hope you enjoy!
Please remember to Pin this post now so you don't lose track of it! I seriously can't even tell you the number of times people Google for specific posts of mine because they didn't Pin.
More free printable activities for children
If you're looking for free, low or no-prep activities for kids, I have you covered! More printables are added all the time, so be sure to check back again soon!

What is the role of the modern state in creating the good life? Are we, the public servants of today, simply humanisers of the inevitable[1], those who must mop up the fall out of rapid techno economic change. Or can we be the radical architects of a much-needed social revolution?
Everywhere the social systems, tools and frameworks we inherited in the last century are proving unfit for purpose. Take health: our industrial health systems were brilliant at curing 20thcentury infectious disease but today one in four of us have a chronic condition: ailments which include diabetes, depression and the complications of old age. Our health services can't cope. In Britain 70 percent of hospital expenditure is dedicated to managing these complex conditions which cannot be cured. We need motivation not medicine and this requires a wholly different way of thinking and working.
Or take employment. In most parts of the world those out of work face industrialised systems of support: conveyor belt services meant to slot the individual worker into a job. These expensive systems have high failure rates (over 60 percent in the UK) because they ignore wider seismic economic change, they shut out the challenges of low wages and they are blind to the problem that progression in work is more difficult than finding a job.
I work with people like Anne. Anne is unwell, in pain and overweight. Keeping appointments with nine specialist doctors is her full-time job. But when I meet the doctors, they tell me something Anne already knows – the drugs don't work. Anne needs radical help to change the way she lives. I set up in doctor's surgeries and ask them to send me 'heart-sink' patients like Anne. A small team then starts to unpick the always complex problems that lie behind ill health. Anne decides to take up her embroidery again, her mood lifts and she is ready for the next challenge. The remedies are unorthodox, more often social than clinical but the data impresses the clinicians and the service is low cost.
And I work with people like Earl. Earl has trouble holding down any job and has a criminal record for petty drug dealing. He wants to be a chef but the employment service thinks that's laughable and try to get him to do an entry level job he finds demeaning. I invited Earl to help me design a new service.
We create simple tools and use public meetings to connect people in and out of work together. The emphasis is on practical steps towards long term goals. Simple digital platforms enabled us to work with many at low cost. Randomised control trials show our approach cost one fifth of current services, fostered skills and enabled 87 percent of members to make progress in or towards work.
This is 21stcentury welfare. It starts where you are and instead of commanding change or trying to fix you it offers support to grow capability. It includes as many people as possible given that it is our relationships that help us find work, keep healthy and care for one another.
I design with people. I ask families isolated on tough estates, who feel angry and locked out, to draw on new support with transformative results; I work with older people on a community service that brings joy and affordable warm care. In every case I work in partnership with exceptional public servants to create and grow new work: social workers, politicians, policy makers: engaging with sleeves rolled up at every stage of the process.
The effect is powerful and low cost.
Perhaps on the surface it sounds familiar. Many of us practice design thinking or we use focus groups to ask citizens what they think should happen. But the work I am describing is very different -it is about a shift in power and mindset. It starts not by asking questions from our point of reference as public servants: how can I change this or fix that. Rather it asks about yourlife: what do you do, care about, want and how can we collaborate to make that happen.
This new public mind-set is one of investigator, facilitator, inventor – not that of the previous century; gate-keeper, auditor, commander. And when we have the solutions we don't try to distribute them once again through an industrial pipeline, we seek to embed the solutions locally in new ways, ways I describe fully in my new book Radical Help. The role of the public servant is no longer that of controlling the mechanical levers, it is that of the head gardener: setting out the design, planting, tending, nurturing and where necessary, weeding.
Every public servant I know is committed to making change. No-one signs up to be a humaniser of the inevitable. And our challenges from climate change to demographic shifts, from health to education are too great and too pressing to tinker any longer with the tools and attitudes of the last century. As I argue in Radical Help it is only the state that can create the new framework we need, only our public servants can nurture the vision and model the behaviours. I propose a new and active role: this is Radical Help.

PM Najib finally announced the dissolution of Parliament this morning in an 11:30 am televised broadcast. The Election Commission has 60 days to arrange for GE13. Meanwhile, all states with the exception of Sarawak (last state election in 2011) and Negri Sembilan (already expired) are now expected to proceed with their own dissolution immediately to enable the GE13 to conduct both Federal and State elections at the same time.
This is the end of the 4th year of Najib as PM and today will also mark the last Cabinet meeting.
Malaysians sigh a relief as this has been the longest guessing game to call GE13 and the country has been on campaign mode since Najib took over from Pak Lah in 2009. All projects and activities have been short term aimed at appeasing the voters to ensure a good feel to encourage a stronger support of BN in the election. That is why there has been so much giving away monies to the public and the last being to the Petronas staff yesterday.
But finally, the time has come for Malaysians to reckon with their future again at the ballot box. Will they give the mandate back to BN or go for a change in Govt with PR? We shall soon know.
Some interesting things to consider.
1. Will BN be returned to power yet again?
Najib has gone to his utter extreme to try to make this happen. Not only a win but a 2/3 majority or else his Party Presidency will be in jeopardy just like Pak Lah whom he replaced. He has pushed like no other PM has fought for survival before as the Opposition appears to be the most formidable in history at this time.
Apart from ensuring his "winnable" candidates are nominated, he has to fight off allegations of scandals and Tun M on his back with his DPM Muhyiddin waiting anxiously to replace him. He is in a most unenviable position.
As there is a chance that BN may lose, Najib has reassured a smooth transition of power during this morning's announcement. This may be his last televised broadcast as PM for now. He is raging hard for a win and win it bigger this time round.
2. Will Malaysians give PR a chance as Federal Government?
There has been an unprecedented groundswell of turning the tides of power to give PR a chance because of many reasons. Malaysians have gained new access and insight to all the excesses of the BN Govt like never before and the new voters are Internet savvy people who glean from others in the social media. Will they be able to decide for PR because this bloc is a very sizeable group of voters.
With the ceramahs and news online as indicators and without any racial prejudice, almost all are of the opinion that PR has the best chance of a lifetime to win the GE13.
3. Will most of BN component parties be wiped out?
The PPP was washed out in GE12 while Gerakan, MCA, MIC were all pared down to below size. However, the parties in East Malaysia held their ground formidably.
In this GE13, many feel that Gerakan, MCA and MIC in particular will see a retribution by the voters that may wash them away. A recent report of an MCA leader appealing to voters not to let them eat egg, a reference of getting zero seats, shows the fear of a total wipeout in this coming election.
Even the parties in East Malaysia cannot sit pretty this time and have to fight for every seat as the PR and associated parties are gunning Sabah and Sarawak without which they will have almost no chance of forming the next Govt.
Will Sabahans and Sarawakians vote them out? It will be hard fought but if the many eligible voters who are working in the Peninsula Malaysia and Singapore do not manage to catch a flight home to vote, we may very well see BN retaining power.
4. Will there be public debates between Najib and Anwar?
This has been a constant hope of most Malaysians who want to hear Najib and Anwar in the same stage pitching their propositions to the voters. Perhaps we have been too influenced by the US Presidential debates but surely our leaders and potential leaders can tout their offerings against each other maturely and effectively too. But this may remain a fantasy for a long, long time.
5. Will this be the keenest fight in Malaysian election history?
Most definitely. BN has all to lose and PR has all to gain. Regardless of all the allegations of gerrymandering, defective electoral roll, phantom and postal voters being moved to strategic constituencies, BN still have to fight all the way all though the advantage is for them with the way the constituencies are cut.
Hopefully, they will fight with grace and dignity without resorting to violence in some of the recent ceramahs. This shows signs of desperation by all counts.
We also await the BN manifesto which they tout as the best yet to be prepared, especially now that PR has announced theirs.
Selangor has alleged that over 100,000 new voters are not found at their addresses according to the electoral roll. Some constituencies like Lembah Pantai has seen a significant rise in new and postal voters. Perhaps these are ways to prevent PR to win again but it will be sad if BN is really resorting to such means to defend their turf.
And finally, let the campaign begin soon and may the best win the votes and form the next state and federal government – whether BN or PR – and be done in peace and honor of Malaysians.
Voter Consideration
1. BN for more of the same, new names, new packaging, promising evolving changes after 56 years
2. PR for a change in governance and accountability, promising new hope and radical changes immediately
Whichever party you eventually vote for, remember to make the effort to vote!

Since breaking into the arthouse scene in 2002, Gasper Noe and controversy have never been far apart. In 2002 he gave the world a brutal and unsympathetic tale of rape in Irreversible, following that up in 2009 he directed Enter the Void and with that, he was established as a one of a kind, perverse, voice. Not one to let his foot off the peddle, he upped the ante of the graphic sex in Enter the Void to make the glorified pornographic film, Love, in 2015. Like fellow provocateur Enfant terrible, Lars Von Trier, it has become hard to tell where the Firebrand of Noe began and the filmmaker ended. Sure, his commitment to rebellion has gained him legions of ardent fans, but in doing so he became the single least accessible director in European cinema for decades and much to the chagrin of those die-hard Noe fans, such a path can only be traversed for so long. I was of the opinion that he was effectively turning himself into a glorified pornographer leaving any notion of crossover appeal in the rear view window. Intrigued I was to hear that his new film, Climax, was garnering acclaim in the corners that had previously housed his most vocal critics.
Opening with a grainy television bookended on either side by books & VHS tapes of spiritual touchstones and on the TV we are introduced to a procession of dancers who talk about why dancing means so much to them whilst giving a vague sense of character. Most of these faces are dancers first and actors second, however, there is one familiar face in Sofia Boutella (Kingsman: secret service & Atomic Blonde). Intercut a few pretentious existential messages across the screen and action then moves to a dance floor where we are treated to an incredible display of modern dance. It's an impressive display but other than saying that shapes are thrown and the physical contortions are impressive, there's not much to say. Film criticism has its ups and down, but dance criticism, surely there can be no more redundant school of analysis? Noe knows this so he plants his camera firm and allows his super talented players' centre stage. There is another number later on only the camera looks down at the top of the dancer's heads from up on high.
Climax's story, as non-existent as it is, is to bring these dancers together for one incredible performance. After which the troupe are free to let their hair down and party, Emmanuelle (Claude Gajan Maull) has made some sangria, unfortunately unbeknownst to her someone has spiked it with some potent LSD. Climax is split in two with credits at the midpoint, not traditional credits, instead, a series of logos and monikers flash on-screen to the beat of the music showing all the performers involved and all the music included. It's a film of two halves in other ways too, the opening 45 (of 90) is a typical party with people drinking (poisoned sangria), dancing, and chatting. The party chat sees certain members of the male contingent up their machismo and make claims of who they are going to sleep with (or already have), and honestly, of all the things in a Gasper Noe film to find annoying this loosely improvisational dialogue is possibly the most mundane option. Annoying as they are, to the largely unprofessional cast's credit, these exchanges do echo the reality of some (albeit queasily).
Then the LSD kicks in and the film completely changes its spots. Some have described Climax as a descent into hell comparable to Pasolini's Salo, and given Noe's career direction to this point, I was concerned. A concern that wasn't warranted. There's a reason that the touchstones of Suspiria and Zulawski's Possession used as rather literal influences in those introductory character bios because like them, this is a heightened sensory experience. First people lose their sanity and control, then they lose the ability to control their bodies contorting and twisting in reaction to some unseen terror provoked by the horrifically bad collective trip. As well as having dancers regress into a more primal emotional state, cinematographer Benoît Debie is constantly moving the camera in equally twisted and contorted ways whilst constantly changing protagonist on a whim. Now whether this is a seamless one-shot film (highly unlikely) or a cleverly masked series of long takes ala Hitchcock's Rope or Miklós Jancsó's Electra, My Love (a clear influence) remains to be seen. Alongside the visible mania of those mindlessly roaming the corridors and dancefloors is a colourisation akin to that of Argento's absurdist classics (Inferno & Suspiria), add them all together and you have a genuine, unsettling and singular beast. I have remarked that Shin'ya Tsukamoto's Tokyo Fist was the most intimidating film I'd ever seen – well, now it has competition with the camera finishing looking on events upside down, from the ceiling, being the icing on that nasty cake.
This is a contemporary Arrow Video, so naturally, the extras are excellent. There's interchangeable cover art, a director commentary, and interviews, aka the norm of DVD extras, beyond that there are two fascination additions. The first comes from Frightfest's very own Alan Jones who does a track-by-track appreciation of the soundtrack; featuring the best use of Aphex Twin's Windowlicker. Second is a feature that is quickly becoming the rising star of extras, a video essay – this one comes from writer Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and she looks at the evolution of Gasper Noe's craft. As for the main feature, I cannot for sure say whether I liked Climax's singular horror musical or not. What intrigues me more than like or dislike is the fact that this is a film that has no contemporaries, it is truly one of a kind; that is a special quality for anything to possess.

As a warehouse or factory-based business grows, it must find innovative ways to use its space efficiently. But these innovations can only go so far, as space is never unlimited. Eventually, a growing company will reach the limits of its storage or workspace capacity. A company that faces this problem has a few options.
The company can move to new, larger facilities, expand current facilities, do nothing (and face the indefinite stagnation of business) or it can construct storage mezzanine platforms. Storage platforms are a highly cost-effective solution; their construction and installation can be 60-80% less expensive than the cost of building new facilities.
Storage platforms can be custom-fitted to existing layouts. They can be designed with any number of treaded or grated stairways to provide easy and safe platform access from multiple locations. Storage platforms can be made from a variety of different materials, but they are most commonly made with steel (other materials include aluminum and fiberglass).
Storage platform materials can range from smooth, cold-rolled steel to grated or treaded varieties of other metals. Depending on the materials to be stored, the weight of those materials and the frequency with which materials will be moved on and off of the platform, certain materials and configurations can be more appropriate than others.
Some storage platforms are equipped with accessories like conveyors and lifts to simplify the transportation of heavy or bulky products on and off of the platform. Storage platforms are supported by a collection of beams and columns, both of which must be arranged in a way that minimizes impedance to operations beneath the platform. Storage mezzanines can be free-standing or structural.
Free-standing storage mezzanines can be introduced to existing operations and placed around machinery. They are used as expansions of storage space for growing operations. Structural storage mezzanines are integrated into the structure of buildings and are permanent. They are less modular than free-standing models, but they can often be sturdier because they are supported by permanent structural support components.

The official language of Belize is English. You will also hear Spanish, Garifuna, Creole, and various Mayan dialects.
General Information
Our community is very focused on ensuring a safe environment for our visiting guests. That being said, we recommend taking the same precaution you take when traveling anywhere: Be respectful, secure your personal items, lock your doors and windows when departing the condo, lock your golf cart/bike, do not carry large quantities of money, do not carry your passport etc.
The island has a Police and Fire department, as well as a public clinic and private doctors. All hospitals are on the mainland. Additional security information is provided in each condo.
All businesses in Belize accept US or Belize dollars – exchanging money prior to arrival is not necessary. The exchange rate in country is a consistent US$1=BZ$2.
Most larger businesses accept credit cards (VISA or Mastercard) with a minimum purchase, however, we always recommend asking the business prior to using your card.
ATMs are available on the island. Keep in mind, the ATMs only dispense Belize currency.
Belize is in the Central Standard Time Zone (CST), however, we do not observe daylight savings, so in the Spring and Summer, we are on Mountain Standard Time.
Our outlets are the same as North American standards (110 volt). An adapter is not needed.
All condos are stocked with a 5 gallon jug of purified water which can be replenished as needed. Our water system at the property is treated and filtered, so water out of the tap is safe for cooking, making coffee, brushing teeth, rinsing vegetables etc, however, most guests prefer drinking the purified water.
Most restaurants pour purified water and ice is always purified. If you have any concerns, don't hesitate to ask your server.
This is probably the most common question we get asked! The overall climate of Belize can be described as sub-tropical with relatively consistent day time temperatures. We have primarily two seasons in Belize:
Winter Season (November – April) – Weather tends to be mild and relatively dry. Evenings can be slightly "cool". Day time temps are typically in the mid 80's with evening temps in the mid to high 70's.
Summer Season (May – October) – Warmer and more humid weather is common, especially into August and September. While there is a higher chance of rain, our prevailing trade winds usually help move any weather systems through quickly. Temperatures can creep into the high 80's, especially in late summer, and the lows are in the low 80's.
When looking at the weather forecast, use caution when using the international weather sites. Even though it may say San Pedro, it is probably a weather forecast for the mainland where it is warmer and the chance of rain is higher. We recommend sanpedroweather.com for a more accurate weather forecast for the island.
After the weather question, the second most asked question is about mosquitoes. As we are a tropical location, we do have mosquitoes and "noseeums" on the island, however, our prevailing breezes really help! That being said, we still recommend applying a repellent with DEET in the morning and before sunset when the biting critters tend to come out more.
Beyond the basics, following are additional items you may want to pack:
- Lightweight sweater or shawl for the evenings
- Sturdy walking/hiking shoes – especially if you want to explore some of the mainland locations. Don't forget the socks!
- Hat
- Water Resistant or Water Proof jacket
- Insect repellent with DEET
- Reef friendly sunscreen
- Reusable water bottle
- Driver's License (for golf cart rental)
- Dive Card (if certified)
- Shampoo/Conditioner/Lotion
NOTE – Beach towels are provided in each condo – no need to take up valuable suitcase space packing extra towels!

* With baptism the conserring" of* grace, or of the Holy
* Spirit; as was actually done, after baptism, by the
* Apostles; but Which no other persons since have had *: the power df doing*
Ih alljthis,6hly these twelve words, tsuppofetto initiate Mint into bis office, as the great" Htfejjiab, can with certainty be taken as Mr. Benson's own judgment and persuasion: and therefore, whether he has here given us-his own notion1 of infant-baptisrn, I know not; but this is manisests he' does not mention any one notion of it as agreeable to" scripture, nor pretend to bring any proof for that practice from thence. He is so far from attempting this, thaChe" freely condemns most, if not all the notions, which" some churches have had' concerning baptism, together with their' forms* of administration, as unscriptural, in
the following words, 4 But as to those who hold such
4 opinions, and make use of such forms' [namely the opinion! and forms abovementioned] 4 let them answer for them.
* Such things do not appear to me to be according to the 'pleasure and ordinance of God himself in this point.
* All 1 can do is, out of a sincere concern for Christi4 anity itself, most humbly to breathe out my wishes and 4 ardent prayers, that such stumbling-blocks may be taken 4 out of the way; and that all parties of Christians
* would endeavour to cut oft" occasion from those who are
* perpetually seeking occasion to blaspheme that holy
* name, by the which we are called!' [in the number of which occasions, he allows, that infant-baptism is one, and theresore he adds] 4 However, the New Testament itself is
* a stranger to any such sentiments, or practices; and
* therefore Christianity is not, in the least, affected by this 4 objection.'
I freely subscribe to what Mr. Benson here says, when he pronounces those notions and forms, made use of in infant-baptism, no part of Christianity I 0s that objccliont against it, founded on that practice, are what real Christianity is not in the least affecled by.- because the New Testament itself is a stronger to any such sentiments or practices. But I must likewise observe that these questions were properly asked, and the responses rightly made in the primitive times, when none were admitted to baptism, but those only, who had been first instructed in the knowledge of Christianity, and made a personal profession of repentance from dead works, and of faith towards God. Heb. vi. i, 1, And I cannot but add, that some churches still retaining these ancient forms, is a plain consession, that they have changed the proper subject, and is also a standing proof of the antiquity of adult-baptism. And this appears very clearly from the liturgy in the apostolical constitutions, the most ancient now in being; and which, according to Mr. Whiston, I contains the true original baptismal creed, from whence that, which is commonly stiled the apostles creed, is only an abridgment. The office of baptism in them begins thus.:
4 Book VII. Sect. LXIII. Now afte* what manner 4 those ought to live that are initiated into Christ, and < what thanksgivings they ought to send up to God, thro* 4 Christ, has been laid in the foregoing directions: But
< it
7 BJfay on the Constitution/, p. ZI5.
4 ft is reasonable not to leave even those who are not yet
* initiated without assistance.
* XXXIX. He therefore who is to be catechized in the 4 word of piety, let him be instructed before his bap4 tism in the knowledge of the unbegotten God, in the
* understanding of his only begotten Son, in the assured
* acknowledgment of the Holy Ghost: let him learn 4 the order of the several parts of the creation, the series
* of providence, the difserent dispensations of the laws:
* let him be instructed why the world was made, and
* why man was appointed to be a citizen therein; let
* him also know his own nature, of what sort it is; let
* him be taught how God punished the wicked with wa
* ter, and did glorify the saints in every generation, I
* mean Seth, and Enoch, and Noah, and Abraham, and 4 his posterity, and Melchifedeck, and Job, and Moj'esy
* and Joshua, and Caleb, and Pbineas the Priest, and
* those that were holy in every generation; and how
* God still took care of, and did not reject mankind, but
* called them from their error and vanity, to the ac4 knowledgment of the truth at various seasons, reduc4 ing them from bondage and impiety unto liberty and 4 piety, from injustice to righteousness, from death eter
* nal to everlasting lise. Let him that ofsers himself to
* baptism, learn these and the like things in his catechiz
* ing; and let him who lays his hands upon him adore
* God, the Lord of the whole world, and thank-him for 4 his creation, for his sending Christ, his only begotten 4 Son, that he might save men, by blotting out his trans
* gressions; that he might remit ungodliness, and sins, 4 and might purify him from allfillhiness of fitjh and spirit,
* and sanctify man according to the good pleasure of his 4 kindness, that he might inspire him with the knowledge 4 of his will, and enlighten the eyes of his heart toconli
* der of his wonderful works, and make known to him 4 the judgments of righteousness; that so he might hate
* every way of iniquity, and walk in the way of truth s 4 that he might be thought worthy of the laver of rege4 neration, to the adoption of sons, which is in Christ, 4 that being planted- together in the likeness of the death of
* Chrift, in hopes of a glorious communication, he may « be mortified to sin, and may live to God, as to his 'mind, and word, and deed, and may be numbered toge
* therin the book of the living: and after this thanksgiv
- - 4ing * ing, let him instruct him in the doctrines concerning
* our Lord's incarnation, and in those concerning his 4 paslion, and resurrection from the dead, and asiump4 tiun.
* XL. And when U remains that the catechumen is to 4 be baptized, let him learn whit concerns the renuncia
* tion of the devil, and the joining himself with Christ:
* for it is fit that he should first abstain from things con4 trarv, and then be admitted to the mysteries; he must 4 before hand purify his heart from all wickedness of dis4 position, from all spot and wrinkle, and then partake 4 of the holy things: for as the skilfullest husbandman 4 does first purge his ground of the thorns which are 4 grown up therein, and does then sow his wheat, so 4 ought you also to take away all impiety from them, and
* then to sow the seeds of piety in them, and vouchsafe
* them baptism. For even our Lord did in this manner 4 exhort us faying, first make disciples os all nations, and
* then he acids this, and baptize them into the name of the < Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Let
* therefore the candidate for baptism declare thus in his
* renunciation:
4 XLI. I renounce Satan, and his works, and his pomps,
* and his worships, and his angels, and his inventions,
* and all things that are under him. And after his re
* nunciation, let him in his association say, And I associate
* myself to Christ, and believe, and am baptized into 4 one unbegotten being, the only true God, Almighty, 4 the Father of Christ, the creator and maker of all
* things, from whom are all things; and into the Lord
* Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, the first-born of the
* whole creation, who before the ages was begotten by the 4 good pleasure of the father; by whom all things were
* made, both those in heaven, and those on earth, visible 4 and invisible, who in the last days descended from 4 heaven, and took flesh, and was born of the holy Virgin
* Mary, and did converse holily, according to the laws of
* his God and father, and was crucified under Pontius Pi
* late, and died for us, and rose again from the dead'after
* his passion the third day, and ascended into the heavens, 4 and sitteth at the right hand of -the father, and again is 4 to come at the end of the world with glory, to judge
* the quick and the dead, of whose kingdom there (hail
* be no end. And I am baptized into the Holy Ghost,
M 4 that * that is the comforter, who wrought in all the saints from 4 the beginning of the world, but was afterwards sent to

These rules justly deserve the most serious regard of every Christian. And, notwithstanding what Mr. Benson fays, it is my humble opinion, that the surest way to remove these stumbling blocks is not to lay aside the ancient forms, but to restore primitive baptism, both as to the mode and subject. However, if the Baptist churches, or as Mr. Benson here expresses it, if pure and primitive Christianity is not in the least affected by this objection; yet 1 am sure Mr. Benson himself, with all his Pædobaptist brethren, even every denomination of Christians, except those who utterly disown and renounce infant-baptism, must be so greatly affected by it, that they can never desend pure and primitive Christianity, I don't say with the least, but with that consistency, which it is neecstary, and most to be wished, that they could. And is it not greatly to be lamented, that such excellent abilities, and such distinguishing endowments, as many of them possess, should be rendered ineffectual for the conviction and conversion of Papists and Infidels, by their practice of that tinscriptural ceremony in any form whatsoever?

IT IS ten o'clock. A road very much like that of Sinchon, the passage is lined with places for people to drink and have dinner. This is a road nearby Sinchon train station and Ewha Women's University subway station. The fiercely red and blue neon signs light the dark road and a crowd of people passes by. The crowd are a group of excited teenagers who have been dancing their night away in the nearby dancing arena for teenagers, officially called "Tinple."
Playground for teenagers - no alcohol, no cigarettes
The origins of Tinple are far from how they are seemingly manifested by the gregarious teenagers of today. The jargon Tinple is an abbreviation for "teenagers' playground," intended to provide a safe and healthy environment for teenagers to socialize, and has its roots in "colatech." Colatechs were devised in the 1980's to provide adults a place to dance and socialize in an alcohol-free arena – hence the name. With time, colatechs have evolved to serve a bigger pool of customers. With a new name of Tinple, they served to attract teenagers but seem to be the source of possible problems since.
It is not difficult to go out to the roads today and discover a clique of teenagers wandering around for a place to relieve their youthful stress. And these teenagers are often frowned upon by adults who consider their aimlessly sauntering behaviour as a social taboo. With not much of a place to "hang out," their options are very limited. "It's obvious really," says Koh Hyung-seok (Student, Grade 8, Hwajung Middle School). "We usually go to PC rooms, or karaoke if we have enough pocket money." Koh is a typical teenager, and many youngsters of today like him opt for PC rooms, karaoke, or the cinema to play. The recent appearances of Tinples aim at this blue ocean of teenage "playgrounds." Since the onset of the 21st century, Tinple has become an interchangeable concept with "club for teenagers," and has officially become a place where teenagers are free to dance and socialize in an alcohol and cigarette-free arena.
Just an imitation
Alcohol and cigarettes are not allowed inside Tinple. However, it is not difficult to find a group of teenagers smoking shamelessly on the roads just outside of Tinple. Apart from this ban, Tinples seem to be very similar to night clubs. After all, Tinples are imitations; they are mimicry of night clubs for adults. In fact, Tinples have a very similar structure to night clubs, and this fact seems to oddly contradict the original purpose of providing a "playground for teenagers." For instance, while night clubs have waiters that help match-making, Tinples have a period of black-out time. This secretive and momentary period of darkness is intended to provide dancers an opportunity to find or kiss their partners. Like this, the Tinple culture is fundamentally based on night club cultures. And this fact puts Tinples on a precarious status – were they ever capable of serving their original purpose of providing teenagers with a safe and healthy social environment in the first place? Perhaps it is time for us to realize that Tinples are a social channel that passes down adult entertainment culture to the teenagers, behind the mask of "teenagers' playground."
Han Min-gu (Teacher, Goyangil High School) casts doubts precisely about this point. He believes a replica of adult night clubs cannot suit teenagers' needs properly. "Places like Tinple blur the line that distinguishes what is meant for a teenager and an adult." According to Han, it has now become easier for teenagers to mimic adults because teenagers of today are physically mature enough to act as one. But the same idea does not hold true mentally. "This means that physically mimicking adults becomes really easy, but can bring about dangerous consequences." True to Han's words, this unbalance between physical and mental maturity can reap unwanted results. This unbalance may be a partial reason why teenage drinking, smoking and pregnancy hit such high rates in the society today. Of course Tinples do not serve as a direct cause of such problems, but it is noteworthy that Tinples may be a place that encourages teenagers to fall into such delinquency.
A similar idea to this was echoed by Jeon Mi-rim (Student, Grade 12, American International School of Chennai) who claimed that Tinples provide an environment that enables teenagers to deviate freely from a healthy student life. "As the place of music and dance, Tinples are seen by the teenagers as a "cool" place to hang out." Jeon believes that the root of the problem is that places like Tinple and associated habits are identified as trendy by teenagers. Such belief encourages teenagers to take up those habits. Premature drinking and smoking are already known problems in Korea. In fact, a study by Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed in 2012 that among 13 to 16-year-olds, 10.3% drink and 7.2% smoke. This means that almost every one out of ten 13 to 16-year-olds either drinks or smokes. It is again worth considering that Tinples mirror the current state of teenagers wanting to imitate adult behaviors, whatever such behavior may be – either to drink, to smoke, or to go clubbing.
Room for improvement
Creating a proper playground for teenagers is never going to be easy. Han claims that an alternative to Tinples should best serve the original purpose of providing teenagers with a healthy and safe place to socialize; he suggests that we build more easily accessible exercising grounds as a healthy alternative. "Teenagers of today tend to lack exercise because they are exposed to excessive media through televisions and smart phones. Plus, they stop taking physical education classes once they enter high school." Han's words are true. According to a study by The Seoul Institute, the percentage of teenagers in Korea that exercise at least 30 minutes, once a week is only 35.4%. The lack of exercise for teenagers does indeed have a room for improvement, but Jeon speaks a different voice. She believes creating a place for teenagers to exercise is a necessity, but cannot act as an alternative to Tinples. Instead, she thinks confronting the problem directly will be better – there is no need for replacements.
Jeon believes it is important for us to be aware what the precise problem of Tinples is. There is nothing wrong with the original purpose of Tinples, but how they indirectly provide environments for teenagers to drink and smoke is the problem. A place for teenagers to dance is not the problem; dancing actually helps teenagers to socialize, exercise, and relieve their stress. She surmises that the root of the problems of Tinples comes from them being an imitation of adult night clubs where drinking and smoking comes naturally. "To maintain the benefits of Tinple, the factor of dancing itself has to be left while eliminating all the negatives. I believe Tinples should take the form of dance studios not night clubs," Jeon argues. "If it becomes a place where teenagers can explore their passion of dancing and music, then that would certainly become the best playground for them."
Having said all, it is always more easily said than done. Teenagers will not change over a single day. A new invention or idea will take time to be absorbed by the society properly. "Teenagers of today are not as naïve as those 30 years ago. I am not sure how teenagers will take the change," says Koh. "What I am sure of is that it will take time to make a change, no matter how great the idea is."
* * *
It is often said that imitation is the mother of invention. But this is true only when imitation eventually leads to an innovative invention. Imitation itself is not enough. It must act as a gateway to a newer and better creation. A replica of adult clubs, Tinples must step forward and develop themselves into something suitable for teenagers, because right now Tinples are not a place for youth.

Pizza on a Mission
by Robin Gray
February 2019
Pizza Brutta's oven
Steve Jobs once said, "People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are." In other words, sometimes beauty and success come in simplicity and focusing on doing one thing really well rather than lots of things not so well. To me, this is what makes Pizza Brutta such a success. They truly embody this notion. They make a few things, which they have perfected. The main focus is on Neapolitan Style pizza created in Italian wood-fueled hearth ovens crafted in Italy. The pizza crust is created with just 4 ingredients: water, salt, flour and yeast. The fresh mozzarella starts with Wisconsin curd and is home made and hand stretched. Italian tomatoes grown in Italy near volcano and sea are crushed to create sauce. The high heat of the ovens creates a crust that is thin and charred with a bubbly crust. There are some specialty pizza choices or build your own. All these start with one of three bases. First there is Margherita which is tomato, basil, and mozzarella. Formaggi is another which consist of tomato, oregano, and mozzarella. And the last is Bianca which has no tomato but instead olive oil, garlic, basil, parmesan, and mozzarella. You can then chose to add meats, cheeses, and veggies to your liking. They source most toppings locally or from known farmers and producers. This includes the wood they use to fire the ovens. My favorites are simple. I love the minimalism of the Margherita pizza. This classic Italian combination is hard to beat. Another favorite is the specialty pizza named Rossoverde. It includes basil, prosciutto, parmesan, and arugula. The salty prosciutto is countered by the bitter and fresh bite of the arugula. The pizzas are mainly single serving but if you add a salad, which are served in two sizes and a number of types, you have a meal for two. They have smaller single sized pizzas for the kids which are affordable and a bit smaller. At lunchtime they also serve sandwiches. The eggplant parmesan and the tuna are both tasty. But it is the pizza that keeps me coming back. There are two Pizza Brutta locations. One is on the near west side of Madison on Monroe Street and the other is in Middleton as part of Middleton Hills. Both are comfortable, family friendly, and a have a warm atmosphere. Hours are daily from 9am-11pm. You can eat in or take it to go but I think the pizza is best when eaten as close to when it comes out of the oven as possible. Eating their pizza straight from the oven can also be accomplished by reserving their mobile pizza oven. They will come to an outside location of your choice and serve up made to order pizzas hot and ready and in about a minute and a half. It really doesn't get any simpler than that.(674) Page Views Pizza Brutta Online:

There was a time when, if people found flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, spiders, or any other pest around their homes or offices some of them shrieked while the more brave-hearted reached for a broom to beat the life out of them.
Masala vadas and spiced cheese were used as baits to trap mice and the floor was coated with bleaching powder to keep fleas away.
Homes were scrubbed cleaned and washed with lime from time to time.
These were but simple, homely methods of keeping homes pest-free. Today there are firms springing all over the globe, mostly in urban areas, to take up the onerous task of pest control.
It will not be wrong to say that pest control has the potential of turning into a huge industry in future as the population is on a steady increase in the urban world.
Housing in the form of apartments, unplanned plumbing system, open drains and sewer canals are proving to be a haven for pests which can inflict unforeseen miseries on the humankind in the form of diseases and ailments.
In such a scenario Rentokil a UK based firm since 1927 has stepped into urban India just one year ago and hope to carry out pest control, putting to use their experiences in the field that has been garnered from a thousand of their branches across the globe.
They have cleansed offices, organisations, homes, museums, libraries, hotels, public places and even trains of pests in their long years on the job. Rentokil has a clear agenda and hopes to educate the public about the harmful effects of pests on their general well-being, health and property.
Sam Easaw, MD, Rentokil India Private Ltd, hopes to bring in international standards of hygiene and sanitation to prevent the transmission and spread of infectious diseases.
Rentokil which operates from various cities in South India not only offer pest control to individual homes for a nominal fee of Rs 3,000 for a two-room apartment, they also offer a package deal for entire blocks of buildings.
The field workers from the firm visit the premises three or four times a year for this fee to keep the home pest free.
The firm deals with just about every kind of menacing pest using different methods of pest control.
They have come up with innovative methods called vector plasma fly killers, gelling, and fumigation among other things.
Shivram, a field worker, finds his job fulfilling and has learned to do his job using the test and research method and carry out his duty professionally.
He vouched for the fact that workers in the firm are encouraged to safeguard their own health by minimising any adverse impact on their operations.
Their customers are very happy with their services. Rozario, who works with a private firm has found the suggestions and solutions of Rentokil to be very practical and user friendly.
Prabhakaran who has been the sales director with the Bangalore office for the past one year, is of the firm belief that it is the unclean ways of man which breeds pests.
He feels that it is not enough if one small area is kept clean and pest free for pests have a way of breeding and infesting areas time and again.
Hence the entire world has to keep in mind and work in synchronisation to get rid of pests.
He says that the first step towards achieving the desired goal will be to tie up with the government and launch into a structured activity.
Wamgroup, Italy, introduces Consep (Reclaiming grits and water from concrete) in the Indian market. Consep is a concrete reclaimer used in ready-mixed concrete batching plants for recycling concrete washed out from truck mixers and in pre-cast concrete batching plants for recovery of concrete from the moulds. The reclaimer/separator, one of the most widely used of its kind, consists of a conveyor screw with a large sedimentation hopper. Excess concrete diluted with washing water is introduced into the hopper where solid particles have time to settle on the bottom of the screw conveyor trough which is connected with the sedimentation hopper. The particles are conveyed and lifted by the inclined conveyor screw towards an outlet spout located at the machine end opposite the sedimentation hopper. During the conveyance, the solid particles are washed perfectly clean from crusts. The reclaimer/separator discharges the aggregates through its outlet spout from where they drop to the ground. From here they can be collected in order to be reintroduced into the concrete manufacturing process. The remaining washing water, which by now is free from any larger solid particles, is discharged into a tank or pit for reuse. The company also plans to launch a new manufacturing plant in Shahpur at Thane District in Maharashtra by the last quarter of 2010.
