NCBA Takes Proactive Steps in Addressing Fake Meat with Outline of Recommended RegulationsWed, 11 Apr 2018 10:14:06 CDT
This week, the National Cattlemens Beef Association submitted official comments to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) outlining key principles for the regulation of fake meat products. The comments, filed in response to Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) Petition Number 18-01, encourage USDA to look beyond modifying standards of identity in order to provide adequate protection for beef producers and consumers.
It is critical that the federal government step up to the plate and enforce fair and accurate labeling for fake meat, said Kevin Kester, President of NCBA. As long as we have a level playing field, our product will continue to be a leading protein choice for families in the United States and around the world.
NCBAs regulatory principles are designed to effectively address both plant-based and lab-grown imitation beef products. Earlier this week, Radio Oklahoma Ag Network Farm Director Ron Hays had the chance to speak with Danielle Beck of the NCBAs DC office about the comments submitted by the organization, which she says has been done in an effort to be proactive in dealing with government regulators on the subject and that it is all about truth in labelling.
While there are a few different asks in our comments, really we just want imitation products to be labeled in a way that clearly states theyre alternatives; theyre not real beef products. We have no problem with a black bean burger because it says its a black bean burger, Beck said. The new companies were seeing and the new products that have started to enter the market - theyre really inching closer to that line of being misbranded and to misleading the consumer.
Its also really important that these products adhere to the same set of stringent food safety standards as traditional meat and beef products, she added.
Specifically, NCBA:
1) Requests that USDA work with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to take appropriate, immediate enforcement action against improperly-labeled imitation products."
NCBA firmly believes the term beef should only be applicable to products derived from actual livestock raised by farmers and ranchers. For misbranded and mislabeled plant-based protein products, existing legislation gives FDA the authority to take enforcement actions. However, the agency has a history of failing to enforce labeling laws. Rather than expending time and resources to develop a standard of identity the FDA will blatantly ignore, NCBA requests USDA engage with FDA to facilitate immediate, appropriate enforcement actions against imitation meat product labels that clearly violate existing laws.
2) Urges USDA to assert jurisdiction over foods consisting of, isolated from or produced from cell culture or tissue culture derived from livestock and poultry animals or their parts.
NCBA believes that USDA-FSIS is the agency best placed to regulate emerging lab-grown meat products. First, USDA-FSIS possesses the technical expertise and regulatory infrastructure to ensure perishable meat food products are safe for U.S. consumers. Lab-grown meat must comply with the same stringent food safety inspection standards as all other meat products.
Second, USDA-FSIS labeling standards provided greater protection against false and misleading marketing claims. Unlike the FDA, USDA-FSIS requires pre-approval of all labels before products hit the marketplace. This will ensure consistent labeling practices across all products, and prevent misleading marketing labels such as clean meat.
Listen to Danielle Beck and Ron Hays discuss NCBAs concerns further when it comes to alternative meat products that are now entering the market, on todays Beef Buzz.

Mayor Muoio Advocates for WPB in Tallahassee
State Sen. Bobby Powell with Mayor Muoio in Tallahassee
West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio traveled to Tallahassee on February 4-6, 2019 and, with other City representatives, met with state lawmakers and officials to draw their attention to issues that are important to the City of West Palm Beach.

"I am excited to see the Sadowski funding proposed by Governor DeSantis and know that fully funding the affordable housing trust fund as intended by lawmakers will be transformative in providing affordable housing and helping families avoid homelessness statewide," said Mayor Muoio.
The Mayor also thanked the local delegation for their support of state housing funds for our community. Addressing affordable housing will be key to the continued prosperity and economic growth of West Palm Beach.
West Palm Beach would stand to receive $1.3M to construct permanent supportive housing, expand homeownership opportunities and provide assistance to households to avoid homelessness.

The Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas in Austin contains a copy of what many people consider the most valuable book in the world. The Gutenberg Bible is not only the oldest surviving book to be printed using moveable type, but also the first complete book to be produced with that technology. The volume in the University of Texas is one of only 20 complete copies to survive. Though its value is merely speculative as it has been almost 40 years since a copy was last sold, there is no doubt that if it were put on the market today, it would shatter all existing records. (The edition at the Harry Ransom Center was purchased in 1978 for $2,400,000.) As we survey the history of Christianity in 25 historical objects, Gutenberg's Bible represents his great contribution to history in the movable type printing press.
Johannes Gutenberg is one of those rare individuals whose invention literally changed the world. When A&E closed out the second millennium with their list of the 100 most influential people of the millennium, few were surprised to see Gutenberg's name at the very top, above Newton, Darwin, Columbus, Marx, and so many other notables.
Movable type had been invented in Asia as early as the fifth century A.D. and in its earliest form used handcut wooden blocks that could be coated in ink and pressed onto paper. The earliest book from this time was printed in China in the ninth century but it has long since been lost. It would be centuries before the art was discovered or rediscovered in Europe.
Johannes Gutenberg was born around the year 1400 in Mainz, Germany. History has recorded few facts about his early life, though we know he was at first a goldsmith. It was not until he was near the age of forty that he began to experiment with printing.
The genius of Gutenberg's invention was not in the press itself as much as in the type. At that point in history, almost all books were handwritten, painstakingly produced by scribes so that a single Bible might take years to complete. Block printing was also becoming popular, but it, too, was slow as it required an entire page to be carved into a wooden block before being coated in ink and pressed onto paper. Because of the onerous process of production, books were both rare and expensive. Gutenberg understood that printing could be made exponentially faster by splitting text into its most basic parts and using movable blocks of letters and punctuation marks. Sets of these characters could be arranged to form a page of words which could then produce a near-infinite number of facsimiles.
The printing press was a screw press, adapted from wine-making. He modified it so he could quickly slide paper in and out and so it was simple to squeeze water from the paper after printing was complete. None of Gutenberg's presses survive, but a handful of copies of his first book do. The first complete book to come from Gutenberg's press was a Bible–the Gutenberg Bible.
The Gutenberg Bible is an edition of the Latin Vulgate, the authorized translation of the Roman Catholic Church. It is printed in two volumes and over 1,200 pages. It has little adornment when compared to the illuminated Bibles of the Medieval period, but is still remarkable for its artistry and especially for the calligraphic characters that begin individual books and chapters. The Ransom Center copy is printed on "fine, handmade paper imported from Italy. Each sheet has a watermark left by the paper maker, which can be seen when the paper is held up to the light. There are four different watermarks in this Bible: a bull's head, a trotting ox, and two variations of grape clusters. Gutenberg also devised an oil-based ink that would cling to type and was exceptionally dark." Gutenberg printed 180 of these Bibles and most were sold immediately to buyers all over Europe.
For our purposes, the book itself is less remarkable than the technology it represents. Movable type, combined with the press, was a quantum leap forward in printing. Though for a time movable type remained a trade secret, in 1462 Mainz was plundered and the secret became common knowledge. Within twenty years there were printing presses all over Europe. Tim Dowley writes, "It was the most momentous invention since the stirrup, and a revolutionary step forward in technology. Like the invention of gunpowder (rediscovered at about the same time), the application of printed to book-production held a tremendous potential for good and evil in subsequent history." As the cost of book production plummeted, the availability of books skyrocketed.
G.R. Evans writes, "The printing press was the Facebook or Twitter of its time." It was a new and exciting technology and it was fast. What was said in print had the power to spread much faster and much farther than anything before it. Gutenberg's press was crucial in giving birth to the Renaissance, the Scientific Revolution, and the Protestant Reformation. The availability of printed material and the desire to read it also led to a great increase in literacy. The world would be forever transformed.
Looking back at history from our vantage point we can see how God was preparing the world for a great spiritual upheaval, a great reformation. The Bible had been preserved, men known as pre-Reformers were proclaiming the gospel of justification by grace through faith and translating the Bible to the common tongue. And now a technology had been invented that had the power to spread knowledge faster than ever before. The parts were slowly but steadily falling into place. Just one important artifact remains before we turn our attention to that great Reformation.

Guilt is good. It's the feature that distinguishes the rest of the population from psychopaths. It's the sensation you are able to feel when you possess a capacity for empathy. But guilt inhibits consumption. So a global industry has developed to smother it with a 13-tog duvet of celebrities, cartoon characters and elevator music. It seeks to persuade us not to see and feel. It seems to work.
Last year's Greendex Survey found that people in poorer countries feel, on average, much guiltier about their impact on the natural world than people in rich countries. The places in which people feel least guilty are, in this order: Germany, the US, Australia and Britain, while the people of India, China, Mexico and Brazil have the greatest concerns. Our guilt, the survey reported, exists in inverse proportion to the amount of damage our consumption does. This is the opposite of what a thousand editorials in the corporate press tell us: that people cannot afford to care until they become rich. The evidence suggests we cease to care only when we become rich.
"Consumers in countries such as Mexico, Brazil, China and India," the survey stated, "tend to be most concerned about issues like climate change, air and water pollution, species loss and shortages of fresh water... In contrast, the economy and the cost of energy and fuel elicit the most concern among American, French and British consumers." The more you have, the more important money becomes. My guess is that in poorer countries empathy has not been as dulled by decades of mindless consumption.
Watch the latest advertisement for Toys "R" Us in the US. A man dressed up as a ranger herds children onto a green bus belonging to the "Meet the Trees Foundation." "Today we're taking the kids on the best field trip they could wish for," the ranger says, "and they don't even know it."
On the bus he starts teaching them (poorly) about leaves. The children yawn and shift in their seats. Suddenly he announces: "But we're not going to the forest today," and says while stripping off his ranger shirt, "we're going to Toys "R" Us, guys!" The children go berserk. "We're going to get to play with all the toys, and you're going to get to choose any toy that you want!" The children run in slow motion down the aisles of the shop, then almost swoon as they caress their chosen toys.
Nature is tedious, plastic is thrilling. The inner-city children I took to the woods a few weeks ago would tell a different story, but if you drive the message home often enough, it becomes true.
Christmas permits the global bullshit industry to exploit values with which so many of us would like the holiday season to be invested — love, warmth and community spirit — to sell things no one needs or wants. Sadly, like all newspapers, the Guardian participates in this exploitation. The Nov. 23 issue of its magazine contained what appeared to be a shopping list to prepare for the last days of the Roman Empire. The magazine contains a smart cuckoo clock to replace those not up to the mark, a remotely operated kettle, a soap dispenser at £55 (US$90), a mahogany skateboard (disgracefully, the origin of the wood is not mentioned by either the Guardian or the retailer), a pappardelle rolling pin at £25, chocolate ornaments and a £16 box of garden twine.
Are we so bored, so unaffected, that we need this junk to ignite one last spark of hedonistic satisfaction? Have people become so immune to feelings of fellowship that they spend £46 on a jar of dog treats or £6.50 on personalized crackers rather than give money to a better cause? Or is this the Western world's solution, spending ridiculous amounts of money on conspicuously useless gifts to enhance our social status? If so, we must have forgotten that those who are impressed by money are not worth impressing.

The AV-TEST Institute recently tested the most popular Windows 10 client antivirus products on three primary criteria: protection, performance, and usability. Only six of the 18 products tested earned a perfect rating of 6 for each of those criteria: Bitdefender Endpoint Security 6.6, Kaspersky Lab Endpoint Security 11, Kaspersky Small Office Security 6, Microsoft Windows Defender Antivirus 4.18, and Symantec Endpoint Protection 14.2 and Endpoint Protection Cloud 22.15. The top 14 antivirus offerings shown here in alphabetical order scored at least 17 points out of a possible 18.
The downloadable infographic below summarizes the results, along with earlier test data for Windows 7 and Windows 8. You can drill down on the full results at The AV-TEST Institute's website.
Best Windows 10 antivirus
1. Avast Antivirus Business 18.5 and 18.6
Avast Antivirus Business 18.5 and 18.6 could have had a perfect score with just a slight improvement on performance and protection. It stopped 99.3 perscent of all zero-day malware attacks, but the biggest issue was with slow-downs when launching popular websites. It was 6 percentage points slower on a standard PC than industry average. Otherwise, it had a perfect score for usability with no false warnings, detections or blockages.
2. Bitdefender Endpoint Security 6.6
One of five products with perfect scores for protection, performance and usability, Bitdefender Endpoint Security stopped all zero-day malware web and email attacks tested, and all malware discovered in the last four weeks. Performance degradation when using applications and websites was minimal and in some cases better than industry average. For the latest round of tests, the product gave no false positives.
3. Bitdefender Endpoint Security Elite 6.6
The results for Bitdefender Endpoint Security Elite are nearly identical to those of the standard Bitdefender product. The main difference was in some insignificant differences in a few performances tests.
4. ESET Endpoint Security 7.0
A newcomer to the top 10 list, ESET Endpoint Security detected all malware discovered in the last four weeks and 99.3 percent of all zero-day malware attacks. It did well in most performance tests, although it was six percentage points slower than industry average installing frequently used programs and 11 points slower copying files. It had no false warnings or blockages, and it did not flag any legitimate software as malware.
5. F-Secure PSB Computer Protection 18.5
PSB Computer Protection would have had perfect scores in all categories, except it slowed copying files locally or on a network more than industry average. A few percentage points improvement would have earned it a full 6 rating. The software did flag one legitimate program as malware during a system scan.
6. G Data AntiVirus Business 14.1
Except for some performance issues, G Data AntiVirus Business would have been among the elite products with perfect scores. It slowed the following actions morer than industry average: launching popular websites, launching standard applications, installing frequently used applications, and copying files locally or in a network. The software stopped 99.3 percent of the 311 zero-day malware samples used in the test, but detected all 21,257 malware samples discovered in the last four weeks.
7. Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.0
With its nearly perfect scores across the board, Kaspersky Endpoint Security continues its run in the top tier of anti-malware products. It stopped 100 percent of all zero-day and known attacks tested. On the performance side, the product had minimal impact on the launching or installation of websites or applications. It did flag one out of more than 1.3 million legitimate software samples as malware.
8. Kaspersky Small Office Security 6
Kaspersky Small Office Security scored similarly to the company's endpoint protection product. It had a slightly higher impact on website launches. It also falsely flagged one legitimate software sample as malware.
9. McAfee Endpoint Security 10.5
For protection and usability, McAfee Endpoint Security ranks with the best of its competitors. However, it falls a little short on performance, particularly during launch or installation of software. The McAfee product slowed launching standard applications by 32 percent, well above the industry average of 13 percent. It was worse during installation of frequently used applications—46 percent slower. The industry average there is 31 percent.
10. Microsoft Windows Defender Antivirus 4.18
Performance is all that holds back Microsoft Windows Defender Antivirus from elite status..In most performance categories, the product is faster than or nearly the same as industry average times. However, it slows installation of frequently used applications by 85 percent on a standard PC, nearly three times industry average. It detected 99.3 percent of zero-day attacks and all malware discovered in the last four weeks.
11. Sophos Endpoint Security and Control 10.8
You can count on Sophos Endpoint Security and Control to stop attacks as well as any other product in this group. It lags the leaders in a few performance categories: The product caused an 18 percent slower launch time for popular websites, higher than the 12 percent industry standard. It was also slightly slower than average when installing frequently used applications or copying files. It lost half a point on its usability rating by falsely blocking two actions while installing and using legitimate software.
12. Symantec Endpoint Protection 14.2
In addition to a perfect protection score, Symantec Endpoint Protection is one of the better-performing anti-malware tools tested. It scored below or near industry average in every category except for launching standard software applications, where it was slightly slower than industry average. It blocked one actions while installing and using legitimate software.
13. Symantec Endpoint Protection Cloud 22.14
Symantec Endpoint Protection Cloud scored similarly to its non-cloud counterpart. It did slightly better on usability, blocking no actions while installing and using legitimate software. It also had less impact on launching standard software applications.
13. Trend Micro Office Scan 12.0
Regaining its perfect rating across all three main categories, Trend Micro Office Scan improved its usability rating this time around. I only blocked one action while installing and using legitimate software. It is still among the best performers of the group. It was below or near industry average for all performance categories except for copying files, where it was seven percentage points higher than industry average.

Stephen Ministry is a caregiving ministry in our congregation. A Stephen Minister is a member of our congregation who has been trained to provide distinctively Christian care for members of our congregation and the community. Stephen Ministers are there to be with you on a one-on-one basis, to listen, to care, to encourage, to pray, and to walk alongside you during difficulties and as you face life challenges. It is a confidential lay ministry and items discussed remain private.
When dealing with sometimes difficult life situations that come our way such as job loss, serious illness, death, transitions, and complex life issues, the care of a Stephen Minister may be just the emotional and spiritual support that you need.
Stephen Ministers function in five types of caregiving situations:
Bear one another's' burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2 (NRSV) God never intended for us to go through these experiences alone. That is why God has brought us together as a congregation, and we have started a Stephen Ministry.
How Stephen Ministry Works
Stephen Ministry congregations equip and empower lay caregivers – called Stephen Ministers – to provide high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care to people who are hurting. Stephen Ministry consists of three groups of people: Stephen Leaders, Stephen Ministers, and Care Receivers.
Stephen Leaders – Direct the overall ministry in the congregation.
Stephen Leaders:
Stephen Leaders are those the congregation has designated to attend a Leader's Training Course – a one-week conference that introduces the resources used to lead Stephen Ministry, develops key skills, and studies the Stephen Series system. Stephen Ministries is a not-for-profit Christian education organization founded in 1975 by Kenneth C. Haugk and is based in St. Louis, Missouri.
Stephen Ministers – Lay caregivers trained in the congregation by Stephen Leaders.
Stephen Ministers are congregational members who have been called to this ministry, trained, and commissioned by the congregation to provide high quality, distinctively Christian care to those seeking help during a crisis or difficult time by meeting with them in a one-on-one, confidential relationship. The Stephen Minister's role is not to solve a care receiver's problems, but to help the individual reach a new place of emotional and spiritual stability. Twice a month, Stephen Ministers gather with their Stephen Leaders for supervision and continuing education.
Care Receivers – Individuals who are experiencing stressful change in life circumstances and are being cared for by Stephen Ministers.
Care receivers are people – congregation and others in the community – who receive care from a Stephen Minister. These individuals are struggling and going through a difficult time in life. They will meet with a Stephen Minister confidentially and regularly for a time as they walk through the uncertainty, disruption and confusion associated with their unique situation.
How Can I Find Out More?
If you or someone you know would like to receive care by a Stephen Minister, please contact one of the following:

Q: How low should my chain hang?!
A: Custom CHAMP CHAINS can be made to any length with almost any type of beads available.
The length of our standard chain is 36" and the pendent hangs approximately 8" below your chin.
You can use this sizing chart above to get an idea of where you might want your pendant to sit on a custom order.
Q: What is Pyrography?
A: Pyrography (writing with fire) is the ancient art of decorating wood with a controlled heat source. Professional pyrographer Chris Burns uses the Razertip system for his handmade woodburnings.
Q: What kind of images can you burn?
A: If you can take a picture of it, then we can find a way to transfer that image to wood. Your imagination is your only limitation.
Q: Do you do custom work?
A: Yes! Most of the work done under the 'Champstiles' name has been one-of-a-kind, and custom designed pieces of art. We take great pride in taking peoples visions and making them come to life!
You can contact us for quotes on custom work by email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Q: What kind of wood can be burned?
A: Anything that's flat, and actually wood! Solid woods with lighter shades (pine, maple, basswood, birch) usually work best as the contrast with the burned areas is more noticeable. But any wood can be used, even just a thin layer of veneer. We have the ability to strip and sand down pre-existing finishes if needed, and can refinish the wood to match any prior colour.
Q: Where can I buy your artwork:
A: Original artworks currently for sale are listed on the SHOP page of this site. Artwork can be shipped to the customer or picked up directly from the artist.

How to Incorporate "Greenery," Pantone's New Color of the Year, Into Your Home
It's the most wonderful time of the year, Crayola enthusiasts. The Pantone Color Institute has officiailly announced is prestigious Color of the Year for 2017, and it looks like Leonardo DiCaprio was right: we should all be going green.
Well, make that "greenery," a color the institute says is symbolic of "new beginnings" (yes please - you've done us wrong, 2016), and is a "fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature's greens revive, restore, and renew."
Kinda sounds like a perfect hue to add to your home palette, right? Design guru Jay Jeffers certainly thinks so, which is why he handpicked some greenery-inspired items to outfit your home in the new year. The one major no-no when it comes to combining colors? "Green and red," Jeffers cautions. "it will forever feel like the holidays."
AKMD USA-OK Chair, $395
"I love greenery mixed with black and white," Jeffers says. "For a bold look, try painting all the trim black and the walls green!"
Rule of Three "Grasslands" Pillow, $280
"Green brings the outdoors in – select a hue that mimics the greenery outside."
Mid-Century Green Glass Lamps, Vintage, $2,795
"I was recently in Cuba and toured Hemingway's home there. In his study the walls were mint green and there was a single chaise lounge upholstered in navy blue. The combination was fabulous!"
Tom Faulkner Berlin Chair, $2,031.
"As with any color, edit," Jeffers says. "Sometimes a little goes a long way. If your upholstery is green, let that be the only greenery in the room. If your walls are green, work with complimentary colors on the furniture."

Four blood vessels in the neck carry oxygen and nutrients to the brain -- the right and left carotid arteries and the right and left vertebral arteries. The carotids are much larger than the vertebrals and nourish a correspondingly larger portion of the brain. Narrowing of these vessels by atherosclerosis may cause a stroke, which is a medical emergency. If you or a companion experiences stroke symptoms, call 911 for immediate care at a hospital.
Complete Blockage of a Carotid Artery
Complete clogging of the carotid arteries is uncommon. A sudden and complete blockage of the right or left carotid causes a massive stroke of the brain on the same side, often rapidly fatal. Such a stroke causes complete paralysis of one side of the body and face. This paralysis is usually permanent among survivors. Emergency treatment at a stroke center may improve survival and decrease long-term disability.
Partial Blockage of the Carotid Arteries
The carotids are more commonly partially clogged by atherosclerosis, causing a buildup of fatty substances. The larger the deposits and the greater the narrowing of the artery, the greater the risk of stroke. Small pieces of the clog may break off and travel to parts of the brain by branches of the carotid artery. The blood supply is stopped wherever the debris becomes lodged, causing brain cell death in that area. Symptoms depend upon the affected part of the brain and may include confusion; weakness or numbness in an arm or leg, or both; drooping of the face; difficulty in forming words; severe headache; and changes in vision.
Clogging of the Vertebral Arteries
The right and left vertebral arteries run along the spinal column and join together inside the skull to supply the rear and underside of the brain. The vertebrals may be narrowed by atherosclerosis, causing symptoms of partial vision loss, double vision, dizziness, clumsiness, nausea, numbness of parts of the face, difficulty in speaking, or weakness, particularly of the leg. Disease in the vertebral artery system is responsible for approximately 20 percent of strokes.
Think FAST
The American Stroke Association recommends that you use the FAST acronym as a reminder to recognize warning signs of a stroke. "F" stands for face drooping; "A" stands for arm weakness; and "S" is for slurred speech. "T" is a reminder that it is time to call 911 if you or a loved one experiences any of these symptoms.

Extreme fat burning workout plan
Fat-Loss Circuit Training - Now is the time to try this
revolutionary fat-burning, metabolism-boosting training technique used by martial arts superstar Bruce Lee!
By Nick Nilsson
Experience a training technique so powerful you can literally
above blog author, fitness trainer Maximus, achieved extra-ordinary results , lowering his body fat from 9.8 to 4.9 %
Want to burn off that holiday weight gain as quickly as
humanly possible? Fat-Loss Circuit Training is the BEST place
to start.
Fat-Loss Circuit Training is a workout routine of my own invention. I developed it for
losing a lot of body fat quickly. It's challenging but very effective exercise !
It's also one of the core components of my extremely powerful
"Metabolic Surge - Rapid Fat Loss" workout program available here:
download ebook here
Fat-Loss Circuit Training is very simple once you get the hang
of it, but it can be one of the most demanding (and most
extraordinarily effective) styles of exercise you can do.
If you're familiar with normal circuit training (with timed,
light-weight intervals), please put aside any notions you
might have of how this workout program works. You will not only be
harnessing the body's muscle-building and metabolism-stimulating
power of intense, full-set weight training (NOT the typical
light-weight, timed intervals of normal circuit training),
you will also be incorporating the great calorie-burning
effects of cardiovascular exercise.
The proper combination of the two styles (weights and cardio)
into one workout routine is, quite simply, phenomenal for fat burning.
In order to use Fat-Loss Circuit Training, you will need access
to both weight equipment and cardio equipment (and/or benches
or stairs), preferably located in fairly close proximity to
each other.
This type of training is harder to do in a crowded gym as it
will involve you moving back and forth quickly between
different pieces of equipment. If someone is waiting to use
your cardio machine the moment you step off, it will defeat
the purpose of the workout. This technique is best used in a
fairly uncrowded gym or fitness center where you have more freedom to use
equipment or, better yet, in a home gym with weights and
cardio equipment and no one waiting for anything!
If you do work out in a crowded gym, I will tell you exactly
how to get around it.
How The Training Works:
- Essentially, this is combined circuit/interval training.
- You will be going back and forth between your weight
training exercises and one cardio exercise for the
duration of the workout plan.
- Your rest period for weights will be your cardio and your
rest period for cardio will be your weights.
- You will be doing some sort of activity for your entire
workout without any break!
This combination is very effective for a number of reasons:
- It forces the muscles in your body to burn calories continuously during
the workout.
- It utilizes resistance training and cardio training so you
get all the benefits of both in one workout.
- By forcing your body to workout like this, you dramatically
increase your metabolism leading to increased fat burning
long after the workout (more so than either weights or
cardio alone).
- It saves time - you get both your weights and cardio in
the same amount of time as your regular workout.
- You will still be able to use heavy weights in your weight
training, helping to preserve muscle mass.
How To Do It:
Step 1 - Set Up
For the most efficient workout plan possible, try to have most or
all of your exercises pre-set and ready to go. The less time
you spend on preparation during your workout itself, the more
effective that workout will be, especially since you want to
be continually active throughout the workout. You can use any
type of cardio that is convenient and enjoyable to you, be it
a machine, stair stepping, or even a skipping rope.
If you are working out in a crowded gym, try to claim an
area for yourself and focus on dumbell exercises. You won't
have to wait in line to use any weight machines that way.
If you don't have access to convenient cardio machines,
you're going to have to go low-tech. You'll need to do stair-
stepping (stepping up two stairs then back down works well),
bench-stepping (step up onto a flat bench or Step platform
then back down) or rope-jumping like Rocky (be sure you're not close
to anyone if you choose this). These approaches work just as
well as cardio machines and allow you to perform this
training style in a busier setting.
Fitness super model Amanda Latona
If the stair-stepping method is what you need to use, have a
look at the stepping pattern demonstrated on the following
you gotta see this!
Step 2 - Warm-up
Do a few minutes of low-intensity cardio as a warm-up. You
may wish to do a few light sets of a few of the exercises
you'll be working with before you start into it though. Don't
tire yourself out, just get a light sweat going.
Step 3 - Start with 30 - 40 seconds of moderate intensity cardio.
This could be setting a stair machine to a level that is
not easy but is not so challenging that you're going to
exhaust yourself right away. Watch the timer on your machine
and go for approximately 40 seconds (I say approximately
because there will generally be a slight lag time when you
step on and off).
Many cardio machines have a "rest period" feature where you
can leave the machine on and it will not erase your program
while you have stepped off. Normally, this is about 2 minutes.
This should be enough time to complete your weight set.
If you are using a machine such as a treadmill or stair
machine that you will leave on with the timer running, just
watch the time counter on the machine and keep track of when
you get on it to get the designated period.
It may require a
little mental math! You can also use your own stopwatch or
timer on your watch to keep track (this is easier). Start the
timer when you start the cardio.
Many machines also have a feature that runs through a series
of time periods. I've found on the StairMaster, if you set
the length of the session to 20 minutes, this results in a
40 second time period making it perfect for judging your
cardio periods.
Step 4 - Do a set of weights.
Go as quickly as you can to your first exercise. Do a set of
the first exercise on your program for the day. Do this with
no rest, going from the cardio immediately to the weights.
Do all your reps until you start to approach muscular failure.
While this is definitely still intense weight training, don't
push yourself to muscular failure as you would in your regular
training. Due to the high training volume we'll be doing in
this program, pushing to failure on every set will compromise
muscle recovery.
Also, be very sure to use proper form and tempo when lifting
the weights. Don't rush your weight sets - perform them with
the same form and speed as you would if you were doing a regular
set in your training. Fast, light or sloppy weight sets are
NOT what we're looking for here.
Fitness super star Jack Lalane 1947!
Step 5 - Go right back to the cardio.
Get back to the cardio and do another 40 seconds of
moderate-intensity cardio.
Step 6 - Repeat the cycle for the duration of the workout.
You will be going back and forth continuously between cardio
and your weight training exercises, using the cardio as the
rest period between your weight sets. What this means is
that over the course of your workout, you'll be burning
calories via cardio and weights AND you'll be working your
muscles with intense, heavy weight training as well. It's
tough training but very effective!
- As you improve your cardio ability, you can choose to
increase the intensity of your cardio training between
sets. You may wish to start at a lower level and gradually
increase the resistance over the course of the workout or
start at a higher level and keep it there. It is perfectly
acceptable to keep it at a steady, moderate level, however.
- This Fat-Loss Circuit technique can be used with nearly
any form of cardio exercise as long as it is convenient to
go back and forth with the weights. The real key here is
to maintain activity for the entire workout.
- Keep your workouts to no more than 45 minutes at the very
most when doing this type of training. Any more than that
and you will be breaking yourself down too much. It's an
extremely demanding form of training as you'll be working
every major energy system in your body. You will also find
it will crank your metabolism up pretty seriously!

DIY Photography Background/
This isn't a tutorial so much as a general description of this simple project, mainly because it was so easy that it didn't even occur to me to put it on the blog until my wife asked, "Are you putting this on the blog?"
By then I was almost finished, but I figured I'd snap a few shots of the final stages and share it here with anyone who's trying to find a super quick and inexpensive way to add a little diversity to their photography backgrounds for food or product shots.
Because I had deconstructed a falling-apart shelving unit in our utility room, I had a pile of 2 x 4s just hanging out in my garage. So I spent zero dollars on this project, which was the perfect price point for me.
Using a circular saw, I cut the boards so that they were all an equal length - 5 of them. My process was about as haphazard as you could get. I cut the first board about how long I thought I'd like it to be, and then I used it as a rough guide for the other cuts. Once those were done, I cut two other pieces a little shorter to work as the cross supports.
I set down the support pieces parallel to each other about a foot and a half apart, covered the tops of both of them in wood glue and then laid each of the 5 equal length pieces perpendicular across those two support pieces.
Then I put a heavy board on top of the whole thing (one of the shelves in the shelving unit I took apart), put some more heavy stuff on that and let it sit overnight so the glue could really do its thing.
And it's the first time I took a picture:
Fancy work space, huh?
The next day, I used some leftover white paint to give it a quick couple coats in the morning.
Then I came back in the afternoon and sanded it down very lightly with my power sander (but you could just use sandpaper) to give the paint a little softer look.
And that's it. Aside from the time for the glue and paint to dry, I spent about an hour and a half on the project.
I've been enjoying trying to improve my food photography game - it is not my strongest area, for sure, and having very little natural light in our house doesn't help. A portable background that I can carry outside or to whichever window is getting the best sun in that moment is quite useful.
p.s. I've come a long from here (wheat-free yogurt pancakes).

Yesterday I got weighed and measured at personal training and it turns out that in the last month I have lost nearly 5% of my body fat in 4 weeks (I weigh only a little less too, so I've obviously gotten some muscle, woohoo). Normally I'd like to have a cheat meal that night to celebrate but I am trying to stop doing that (psychologically I use food as a reward and I'm still learning to wean myself off that habit), so I decided that I would make myself a bit of a sweet treat for breakfast, nowhere near as bad for me as the burritos I wanted to have last night. This isn't something I would eat on a regular basis just because it is SO sweet and SO rich, but it was nice to enjoy something a bit different on a lazy Saturday morning.

When Guillermo Del Toro left The Hobbit, speculation was rampant regarding what the visionary director would choose as his next project. In July, he put the speculation to rest as he announced that he would next take on H.P. Lovecraft's epic novella At The Mountains of Madness in 3D, with the help of James Cameron as a producer. In September we broke the news that Universal was looking to cast James McAvoy in the starring role, while Del Toro had his sights set on Tom Cruise instead. It appears that pre-production is rolling right along, as Cameron recently gave an update on the project:
We're very, very actively pre-producing the film right now with Universal. The design work is phenomenal, both the three-dimensional and two-dimensional design work, the physical maquettes, the CG test scenes; the artwork is phenomenal. The fans certainly won't want for a visual feast with this film. But there's [still] a bunch of number-crunching and "How you gonna do it?" and "How you gonna make it?"; "Where you gonna do it?" All that stuff.
Hit the jump for more from Cameron, including why he got involved in the project in the first place.
In talking with FearNet (via SlashFilm), Cameron spoke about what first drew him to the project:
One word, one man – Guillermo. We've been friends for twenty years. We've been trying to work together, really, for that entire time. And it has never quite congealed. We're both Lovecraft fans. Me from my college days, when I discovered Lovecraft. I think I read everything he wrote in about a month. I powered through it. And if anybody can bring Lovecraft to the screen it's gonna be Del Toro.
He's got a real vision for the film. It's very, very well-developed in his mind. You know, I'm just there to facilitate his vision. I don't have any strong sense of authorship; zero sense of authorship. I'm just there to try to get it made and help him do the movie that's in his head.
When Del Toro spoke with Steve about the project at last year's Saturn Awards, he explained how difficult it would be to get a studio to say yes to "an R-rated tentpole with a tough ending [and] no love story." This is where Cameron comes in. With his muscle as a producer, it sounds like he's acting as a safeguard for Del Toro's vision, ensuring that his film doesn't get watered down or converted into a more "family-friendly" flick.
Personally, I'm ecstatic to see what Del Toro and Cameron have in store here. While this update provides little in the way of details on the project, Cameron's enthusiasm is infectious (say what you will about the man's storytelling/screenwriting ability, but he's got one of the best eyes for visuals in the business). I'm also quite fond of Cruise as the lead. I found Knight and Day to be a fantastically fun return to form for the actor, and could see this film as his comeback in more dramatic fare.
There's no official start-date for production yet, but if Del Toro and Cameron can get the budgetary details hammered out, it seems feasible that they could begin rolling sometime later this year.
Here's a brief synopsis of Lovecraft's novella:
The story is written in first-person perspective by the geologist William Dyer, a professor from Miskatonic University. He writes to disclose hitherto unknown and closely kept secrets in the hope that he can deter a planned and much publicized scientific expedition to Antarctica. On a previous expedition there, a party of scholars from Miskatonic University, led by Dyer, discovered fantastic and horrific ruins and a dangerous secret beyond a range of mountains taller than the Himalayas.

The Comets are back: Indoor soccer returns to KC
Fans who were clamoring for the return of indoor soccer to Kansas City... you've got your wish. The Missouri Comets will join the Major Indoor Soccer League and play in the Independence Events Center.
From the Independence Examiner:
For any soccer fan old enough to remember the Kansas City Comets, a Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) team that took the metro area by storm in the early 1980s, this news will rekindle the love affair a city had with a team that featured players like Enzo DiPede, Gino Schiraldi and Kim Roentved.
The Missouri Comets, a new MISL team that will play 12 home games at the Events Center beginning Nov. 12, will celebrate the past history of the Comets while bringing a new, up-to-date team to its new home in Independence.
"We couldn't be any more excited," said team vice president Brian Budzinksi, a part of the ownership group that includes Blue Springs resident Ed Scheetz, owner of Scheetz Construction, and his father Mickey Scheetz, a Portland, Ore., resident who grew up in Excelsior Springs, Mo. "We wanted to make this right, so we've taken a while to make this announcement. We had our lawyers talk to the league to make sure it was solvent – and it's not only solvent, it's adding new teams."
The Missouri Comets will be the sixth team in the MISL, joining Baltimore, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Monterrey (Mexico) and Rockford, Ill.

In Peru, Quelccaya glacier, the largest in the tropics, could disappear within 10 years. Hello. The Peruvian Times reported just last month that studies of Quelccaya during the last 30 years have found the glacier retreated at an average rate of 6 meters per year during the first 15 years and 60 meters per year in the last 15. This year, it is expected to retreat 150 meters as a result of an unprecedented increase in global temperatures.
Peru is home to some 70 percent of Earth's tropical glaciers. I didn't know that.
The Chacaltaya Glacier, thought to be 18,000 years old is now reduced to a rocky mountainside. Hello.
Water is a sensitive issue in Peru as desert covers its Pacific Ocean coast, where most of the population lives, and its Andean glaciers are melting because of climate change.
Just today the water issue led to a clash which left one dead and eighteen injured. According to Reuters, "The country's human rights office said the skirmish occurred before dawn in the town of Espinar, 400 miles (650 km) south of Lima. Police fought with protesters who say the Majes-Siguas II irrigation project will leave Espinar without water, said Silvio Campana of the rights office, which tries to mediate conflicts. The man who died was a bystander.
The following is from the Guardian.
Julio Hanneco is possibly the world's greatest potato grower. Some call him the King of Potatoes, but I prefer Señor Spud because Julio is as humble as the vegetable he grows.
He lives in a small village called Pampa Corral, at 4,020m (nearly 13,000ft) in the Cusco region, and he grows a staggering 215 varieties of potatoes - red ones, black ones, translucent ones, shapes and sizes you cannot imagine. He can name every one, like his family, but his favourite is a fantastically knobbly variety called Melchora, which he told me was designed to test out future daughters-in-law. "If they can peel in one piece this potato, then a prospective bride is considered worthy to marry the grower's son."
I met Julio in Lima, showing off his spuds to wide-eyed urban foodies who were amazed by this one-man seed bank and store of local knowledge. They all knew that Peru was the home of the potato 8,000 years ago, but few had any idea the country grew 3,000 of the world's 5,000 varieties.
And I doubt if any had read John Reader's marvellous book the Propitious Esculent, which charts human development through the cultivation of the potato. It was central to the 19th century global population explosion, it shaped the American revolution, it starred in the Conquistadores' invasion of Latin America and is now the world's fourth largest staple crop and one of the most nutritious of all foods.
But the point is, folk like Julio and their extraordinary diversity of crops are critically endangered by the massive changes they observe taking place in the High Andes. When Julio was a boy, (he's now in his 50s) a glacier was just two minutes walk from his door. Now it is a nine-hour hike away.
"The seasons used to be very clear, we knew when to plant. Now we have less water. We used to get the water from the glacier. Now we have twice as many mosquitoes. We have no light from the glacier I don't understand what is going on. We feel very disoriented," he said. "I think that I will have no water and that will be the end of the world for us."
Peru is said to be the 56th richest country in the world, with 28 of the world's 35 climates and more than 70% of the tropical glaciers on earth. Most are in rapid retreat, leaving behind devastated farmers and communities short of water.
Julio invited us to his home, but we are in the hands of Oxfam and heading for another region far from the retreating glaciers but where climate change is impacting communities hard.

As the biggest tailoring player, Zegna's direction is often an indication of where the suit is going. Is the suit dead? Is it coming back? In a menswear scene that is still heavily dominated by street and sportswear, Alessandro Sartori presented a collection that perhaps answered these questions.
But more than a designer, Sartori is also a craftsman and a showman.
It was a mesmerising sight at the Zegna show. As the sun set against the Palazzo Mondadori by Oscar Niemeyer, the warm orange rays of the Lombardian sun bounced off the reflective runway, creating a glow that was simply magical. Sartori knew that he had only approximately 14 mins to use that sunset to create that magic. And the result was an atmospheric one. The gigantic structure created a grand impact; yet by simply admiring from afar, the building exudes a certain lightness, much like the clothes Sartori showed on the runway.
"Creation for me always stems from a technical challenge. I am presenting shapes that are bold and voluminous, yet very light, in layers of meshes, wools, silks," says Sartori. "I found the same challenge in the architecture of this space. It is the perfect place to unleash the Zegna crew of individuals who recognize themselves in the XXX logo, which runs from the clothes to the set-up, unifying the message: a symbol of couture craft that is also the most personal and unexpected expression of Zegna."
What was perhaps the most unexpected was how unsuit-y the collection was. For starters, the Triple-X logos were abundant: debossed on leather sweatshirts, knitted on collars, stitched on sneakers, and printed on leather bags and even an iPhone cover. And then there were garment-dyed kind of denim, suede mesh tops, boxy shirts and jackets in double sleeve, ankle-hugging joggers, playful (but random) printed objects on jackets, coats, shirts, chunky sneakers, hybrid footwear, leather visors – all aesthetically pleasing, highly wearable, and very unsuit-y. It is a new brand language spoken to a post-millennial crowd looking something more substantial that just a logo tee.
But of course, there are plenty of suiting looks too, in a Sartori kind of way: where a tailored jacket is paired with joggers, a bomber worn with a slack, or a multi-toned check jacket worn over a different check pair of trousers. So, is the suit dead? Perhaps not. Sartori is simply imposing new structure over the old, and he does it pretty damn well.
See all the looks here.

Solution Preview
I will shoot for ground work on the three events that impacted media adaptation and then you will certainly need to do some quick research in your library for a few supportive items that reinforce what you are saying.
Keep in mind, after looking through the "Interaction" page, these are my opinion on the three most important events. If you disagree with my take on one, or feel that a completely different one was more important, make sure that you swap out one of mine for your ideas. I can only assume you'll be asked to discuss or build on this later (I could be wrong).
Event #1
1920's, Radio - "Broadcasting allows advertising onto the airwaves, causing a public outcry." Radio was still very much in its infancy when commercials and paid advertising was allowed into the ...
Solution Summary
Many options are available when deciding on the one medium that had the greatest impact on mass media. After examining http://corptrain.phoenix.edu/axia/cmc210/, I focused on three specific forms of media.
As I explored each medium, you will see my reference to a particular time frame, as well as detailed explanations as to why I made those choices.

For Nylah's first birthday I decided to hold a Bohemian / Vintage / Garden Tea Party. I'm unsure what exactly it is about 1st birthday parties, but I always feel some (unwarranted) pressure to hold a nice one. I guess your baby's first lap around the sun is significant, a milestone for the both of you. Which undoubtedly is worth celebrating.. with a big, fancy, over the top soirée.
The date crept up on me quite quickly, so I spent the weeks leading up to the event frantically pinning Inspo images on Pinterest (click here to follow me on Pinterest) as if it was contributing to 'getting things organised'. In reality, I was actually avoiding going to the shops and spending ridiculous amounts of money on the entire affair, or doing anything substantially helpful to being one step closer to holding the actual party. So in true form, I left it until the week of, to REALLY start getting sorted. That week consisted of frantic dashes to Spotlight, Kmart, Ikea, Op Shops, Friends Homes (to borrow bits and pieces), all with a teething soon-to-be one year old in tow! I basically was at the shops almost every day as I'd end up forgetting something due to Nylahs irritability (screaming). Why am I telling you this? Because I would recommend NOT leaving it to the last minute. Be prepared people! Weeks, months if you have to. Hell, start gathering pieces as soon as you leave the hospital after giving birth.
In all truthfulness it wasn't as stressful as it sounds, the crafting and decorating was enjoyable, it was the preparation of the food which was so time consuming (and the making of favours!) – especially with two children hanging around your ankles (this can easily be avoided if you purchase ready to heat type foods, have it catered and just dish out lollies as favours).
The Party
Guests were invited to arrive at 9:30 am where they were treated to an assortment of pastries, cakes, dips, cheeses, biscuits and sandwiches. Iced teas, juice and water were available in beautiful vintage glass dispensers to keep thirsts quenched. The children were free to play in our backyard, with rides in Kruizey's Mercedes being orchestrated by my husband. For the quieter folk – Nylah's teepee was set up in our entertainment area. We held a game of pass the parcel and also had a Pinata which the kids absolutely loved hauling all the lollies from. The atmosphere was relaxed and we were all able to mingle, chat and enjoy ourselves whilst the children played.
The Set Up
There were many different elements which were brought together to create the theme. The emphasis was on crochet, lace and floral, with a few woodland pieces to add a more earthy touch.
I ordered prints from Pocket Prints App, which you can choose pictures directly your Instagram profile. These were easily arranged on a wooden palette (you can find these at left over building sites etc – also check your local classifieds/gumtree as they are often getting rid of them!).
Glass Jars and Flowers are from Ikea – which I decorated using a white paint pen.
Teepee from Banana J Creations

She had such a magical day and received so many beautiful gifts. Thank you to our amazing friends and fams for making her day so spesh.
Keep an eye out for a special little first birthday gift guide coming up on the blog shortly!

We have a database called 'foo' on the first sql server instance called 'SQL01' that is backed up nightly via a snapshot with Snap Manager for SQL Server and then flex cloned and restored to a second server instance called 'SQL02'. In the database foo there is a sql user called 'someuser' that has datareader and stored procedure privileges.
After the restore operation I cannot access the foo database on SQL02 with the someuser user. I can see that the permissions appear to be set correctly for the user, but can't access the database. The error is "The server principal "someuser" is not able to access the database "foo" under the current security context."
If I remove the user from the database and then add them again it works fine. Any ideas?

GOOGLE WARNS YOU BEST!!! AVOID Feline Escorts Agency AT ALL COSTS. Reads the 2nd position ranking on Google.
Feline Escort Agency Review From the Net
Photos on website accurate…boobs are obviously being pushed up in photos, a little disappointing within the flesh.. 21yrs (per website) …in all probability accurate however assume not. Very Pretty, Large Labia (if you wish that sort of issue)
As said in previous review Do not typically "target" the new girls, but because the meeting with Penny did not turn out too bad thought I would likelihood my luck once more.
She was running late and still getting ready after I buzzed the apartment, not a difficulty as I even have to shower on arrival, gave her the time to urge prepared. She looked quite beautiful once I joined her in the bed space. Told me she was new, and asked what would i favor to try and do.As usual, my reply to the present is "to go with the flow"
Did my best to create the foremost of the case… finally felt the stirrings of an orgasm approaching , said not to prevent as the first spurts erupted, to which …..she abruptly stopped!!!.. …and abandoning , as I took over to salvage things… she realised what she had done…(do not assume it absolutely was on purpose) and said "sorry , thought you said Don't stop….er…I mean do stop"

Island Living: Rapa Nui
1. Tell us a little bit about Rapa Nui (also known as Easter Island).
Rapa Nui is one of the most remote islands in the world, the nearest continental point is Chile, 3,512 kilometres away. I love that Rapa Nui is so far from everywhere and I feel safe here, away from the city life. Everyday life is simple and happy, surrounded by the ocean, the sky and our families.
The Rapa Nui climate is subtropical. It is often windy, especially at volcano summits such as where Orongo is located. During summer which is from December to February (in the southern hemisphere), it is around 25°C during the day, and in winter, June to August, around 19°C. Rain falls year-round, though most of the wet days are between April and June.
2. How many people live here? Is the population growing or shrinking?
The population is 5000-6000 people, depending on the season (more in the summer) and is growing. More than half are ethnically Rapa Nui.
3. What is abundant and what is scarce on Rapa Nui?
Abundant: There is a lot to see and do here. Of course visit the infamous symbol of the island—the Moai (monolithic carved figures of the native ancestors). Activities like surfing, hiking, diving and horseback riding are also abundant. But, there are also too many cars for such a little island.
Scarce: Rapa Nui has only one radio station and two television channels (one of them from Chile). We are hoping to keep it that way.
4. What is important to note about the island's geographical location or history?
A thousand years ago, a small group of Polynesians paddled the world's greatest ocean in search of a new land. For generations, their ancestors had expanded eastwards in the vast Pacific Ocean, guided only by the stars. A new piece of land was found. The settlers of this tiny virgin island called their new home "Te Pito o te Henua", meaning "The Navel of the World". The name was seen fit as they were thinking that there can be no place more distant than this... and they were right. Generations passed, and the inhabitants of what was to be known as Rapa Nui built a civilization of art, capable of carving, raising and transporting hundreds of gigantic monolith statues, using nothing but their own hands and stone. A glyphic writing called roŋo-roŋo evolved. A culture had risen, full of achievements, intellect, music and legends—against all odds—in an environment where one would least expect it. Children were taught of their history and of who they are. Up until today, the Rapa Nui people remember their lineage back to the time when King Hotu Matu'a disembarked at the beach of Anakena lifetimes ago.
5. What are some of the practical challenges of living on Rapa Nui?
You have to go to Chile, the main land, to buy things you cannot find on Rapa Nui and everything is expensive to ship here. All goods come by plane or ship so that's the bad part, but we learn to live with it.
6. Is there a stereotype about Rapa Nui you'd like to correct.
Some people think that because the island is so little there is nothing to do here. Visitors plan to only stay for a day or two but they quickly discover that there was not enough time to see and do all they wanted to do. Another stereotype is that we all still wear aboriginal clothing, but really the island is a modern, beatifull place and the people are well-educated.
7. What do you think makes island communities, like yours, unique?
We have a strong culture of music and dance. Our language is also quite unique I think (we are still solving the mystery of the roŋo-roŋo writing system). Our people have the urge to travel the world, but we always come back to Rapa Nui.
8. How are tourists generally seen by locals?
People on the island like tourists and treat them very well. We learned to live with them and make them feel welcome, as our economy depends a lot on tourism today.
9. What is the best way to get there?
The only way to travel to Rapa Nui for the common traveller is by air. Airline travel traffic is exclusive to Latin Americas largest airline —LAN. They usually offer one flight per day. There are two flight connections to Rapa Nui:Papeete (Tahiti); Santiago (Chile). From 2010 to 2013 there was also a flight connection to Lima (Peru), but this didn't end up being lucrative in the end, so the route was cancelled.
10. What should visitors know (or read) before setting out for Rapa Nui.
Start with the book Kon-Tiki written by Thor Heyerdahl in 1948. He was a Norwegian explorer who sailed to Rapa Nui on a balsa tree raft. Heyerdahl maintained that people from South America could have settled Polynesia, although most anthropologists dispute this theory. His aim in mounting the Kon-Tiki expedition was to show, by using only the materials and technologies available in Pre-Columbian times, that there were no technical reasons to preventthe voyage.
And tell us a little bit about you, Makohe. I have lived my whole life in Rapa Nui, but I travel a lot. At the moment, I'm in Sweden for example (visiting my husband's family), but I am going back to the island in two weeks. I miss it already. I recently had a baby boy named Nils Kainga. He is wonderful and loves music and the water. Right now I'm just in charge of him full-time, but on the island I sing and make my own music. My husband and I run a travel site, leading tours on the island and helping with accommodations. I also teach surfing to the children of the island and tourists alike. In 2008 I was part of the adventure documentary 180 South.
