11 officers shot, 5 dead, SWAT in standoff with 1 person after shooting after Dallas rally
– Dallas Morning News
What we know so far:
* 4 Dallas police officers, one DART officer killed
* Six officers and one civilian wounded
* One suspect was dead in a garage at El Centro College after exchanging gunfire with with police.
* A woman near the shootout in the garage is in custody
Snipers fatally shot three Dallas police officers and one DART officer, and wounded several others as a demonstration against shootings of black men by police wrapped up Thursday night.
Dallas police Chief David Brown said about 8:58 p.m., at least two snipers shot 11 officers and one civilian from elevated positions with rifles during the rally in downtown.
Two officers were in surgery earlier in the night and three were in critical condition, police said.
Three other DART officers were wounded but their injuries were not believed to be life-threatening, said Morgan Lyons, a spokesman for DART.
The officers were shot "ambush style," Brown said, with some shot in the back.
"Give our officers strength to catch these suspects and bring them to justice tonight," he said.
About 1:20 a.m., an explosion went off at El Centro. It was unclear whether police detonated a suspicious package they found earlier or if it was something else, such as a flashbang intended to distract the suspect who remained in the parking garage.
At a 12:30 a.m. news conference, Brown said officers had been exchanging gunfire for 45 minutes with a man the garage who was not cooperating.
"He has told our negotiators that the end is coming and he's going to hurt and kill more of us –meaning law enforcement — and that there are bombs all over the place in this garage and in downtown," Brown said. He said police aren't certain they have all the suspects.
"We as a city, we as a country must come together, lock arms and heal the wounds that we all feel from time to time," he said. "Words matter, leadership matters at this time. I'm proud of our chief."
Rawlings asked for everyone to focus on the officers, their families and those fighting for their lives.
"It is a heartbreaking morning to lose these four officers who proudly served our citizens," Rawlings said. "To say that our police officers put their lives on the line every day is no hyperbole, ladies and gentlemen, it's a reality."

German agency accuses Iran of trying to buy nuclear technology after 2015 deal
– Financial Times
Intelligence report tracks last year's activity before and after July atomic accord
Iran has attempted to acquire nuclear technology in Germany even after the atomic accord it reached with western powers in Vienna last July, according to the German domestic intelligence agency.
The annual report of the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV) said that illegal Iranian attempts to procure technology "continued on a quantitatively high level by international standards" in Germany in 2015.
"This was particularly the case for merchandise that could be deployed in the field of nuclear technology," the report said. There was also an increase in Iranian efforts to buy parts for missiles that could be fitted with nuclear warheads, it added.

California gang members charged in attacks targeting blacks
– Yahoo News

"Los Angeles (AFP) – Seven members of a notorious Los Angeles street gang with ties to the Mexican Mafia were charged in an indictment unsealed Thursday for their role in attacks targeting African-Americans.
The men, all members of the Big Hazard gang, allegedly took part in the 2014 firebombing of several residences of African-Americans in the city's Boyle Heights neighborhood in a bid to push blacks out, according to the indictment handed down June 22.
"The defendants used firebombs to drive the victims from their homes because of their race," said Vanita Gupta, head of the Justice Department's civil rights division. "This is a hate crime.
"Such violence and intimidation have no place in our society."
Authorities said the attacks were spurred by the gang's bid to reclaim control of the neighborhood's Ramona Gardens housing project, once a bleak crime-infested area where the police dared enter only in groups.
In recent years, however, crime has lessened in Ramona Gardens and more black families have moved in.
The indictment alleges that Hazard members would spray paint or "tag" gang monikers and symbols on businesses and residences in the neighborhood and would meet to discuss ways to deter blacks from living there.
On May 12, 2014, the gang members, wearing gloves and disguises, went on a firebombing rampage, authorities said.
They split into groups, breaking victims' windows before hurling the firebombs to maximize damage, according to the charge sheet.
Following the attacks nearly 40 gang members were indicted in 2014 on drug-related and other charges but the firebombing attacks went unresolved.
The seven men named in the 10-count indictment unsealed Thursday were identified as Carlos Hernandez, 31; Jose Saucedo, 22; Francisco Farias, 25; Joseue Garibay, 23; Edwin Felix, 23; Jonathan Portillo, 21; and 21-year-old Joel Monarrez.
They were charged with conspiracy to violate civil rights, arson, carrying explosives, racketeering and several other related crimes.
Saucedo, aka "Lil' Moe," allegedly would confront black residents in Ramona Gardens, including children, and bluntly tell them they were not welcome in the neighborhood and risked harm if they stayed.
Saucedo and his co-defendants face maximum prison sentences of 110 to 115 years or life behind bars."

TAMPA – "I thought we had a lot of energy. I think whenever you have a couple days to bond as a group, and do some stuff outside the rink, it really helps the team. So I think that helped us a lot tonight."
Tyler Bozak couldn't get through the line with a straight face. He was having some fun, offering a poke back at the foofaraw that was made over a Maple Leafs fishing trip in South Florida last weekend, a rare (and deserved) getaway during the season for a handful of players two days before they lost 7-2 against the Panthers.
Because of the way they dropped that game, however, the whole thing blew up on social media. It became a thing, like Salute Gate or the flying waffles. A Leafs thing.
Headlines like this one, in particular, weren't well received by fans or the team.
But rather than be beaten down by the noise, the Leafs showed up and delivered their own beatdown two nights later. They took out a red-hot Lightning team by scoring four goals in the game's first 26 minutes and 14 seconds, crowding the crease and putting point shots through traffic.
They chased one of the hottest goalies in the NHL, Andrei Vasilevskiy, from the net, and they did it early. Lightning coach Jon Cooper remarked after the game about how impressed he was with the Leafs' ability to get in tight and win battles against his players.
The win also showcased the Leafs' considerable offensive depth, as they received scoring from everywhere in the lineup. Five different players scored; 13 of their 18 skaters had at least a point.
(Auston Matthews, however, was not one of them. His pointless skid hit seven games.)
"I thought we skated really good early," coach Mike Babcock said. "I thought we had good energy and everybody was going. I think that's real important for us, obviously. All four lines were good; we didn't have to worry about match-ups. A good win for our team and good things happened in the league for us at the same time. You're lucky for that to happen."
Those "good things" were key losses on the out-of-town scoreboard. The Lightning obviously lost in regulation, but so did the Bruins, Islanders, Flyers, Panthers and Senators. Basically every team still in the conversation, and on the Eastern Conference playoff bubble, lost except the Leafs, which hasn't happened much in the past six weeks.
That meant Toronto jumped the Lightning and Isles to land back in the final playoff spot. They're also now back on pace for 93 points, which will likely be the year-end cutoff in the East.
The Leafs will need to go 7-5-1 or 6-4-3 to get there, which is doable, despite their tough schedule.
Players knew after the debacle against the Panthers how big this game was. They skated with purpose in practice a day before and held meetings aimed at righting the wrongs of that loss. They got serious.
"We started getting our act together after the game," Morgan Rielly said. "We talked to one another, saying that we had to get in gear a little bit. We had a good practice yesterday then we came in this morning, and it was all business."
There was fun had, too, after they had won. Matt Martin was a good example. He scored one of the Leafs goals, and as such, he was first to meet the media. He came into a little press conference room in the bowels of Amalie Arena and answered three minutes of questions uneventfully.
On his way out of the room, however, he made a quip about the conversation around the team the last few days, declaring with a big grin and a raised hand that there would be "No more fishing before a game!"
"Golfing only," he said.
Then came Bozak's team-bonding comments, and it was clear the fishing talk had become a running joke in the room. They were all in on the joke and had some laughs over it.
Of late, the Leafs dressing room has felt like one that needed that levity. Things were tense during the three-loss trip through California, for obvious reasons. While they won three games in a row after coming back, the loss to the Panthers might have been their worst performance of the year.
They found something to rally around in that. They rallied around how bad they were, how big this game in Tampa was, and the silly criticism they took for catching a few fish on Sunday.
But that's not to say they plan on repeating the cycle with another off-day on Friday, as they prepare to face the Blackhawks back at the Air Canada Centre.
"I won't be fishing tomorrow, no," Rielly said. "My old man's coming in for St. Paddy's so we'll go for dinner."
Such is life in the Toronto fishbowl.
And no, I will not apologize for that being the ending.

Randgold Resources and AngloGold Ashanti have concluded an investment agreement aimed at the formation of a joint venture to redevelop and operate AngloGold Ashanti's underground Obuasi gold mine in Ghana. AngloGold Ashanti converted Obuasi to limited operations at the end of 2014, ceasing underground production and retrenching the workforce, but continuing to process tailings and starting a feasibility study on the redevelopment of the mine.
Obuasi is located in the Ashanti region of Ghana, 320 km northwest of the capital Accra. The project hosts a large, high-grade deposit, with proven and probable ore reserves of 24.53 million mt grading 6.70 g/mt and containing 5.29 million oz of gold, as well as substantial additional resources.
The redevelopment agreement calls for Randgold to lead and fund a development plan designed to rebuild Obuasi as a viable, long-life mining business with an attractive cost structure and returns. The plan is expected to take about four months to complete and will build on the current, ongoing feasibility study, with the intention of establishing a more focused, efficient mechanized high-grade operation. If the plan meets both companies' investment criteria, and assuming all other conditions are satisfied, Randgold and AngloGold Ashanti will form a new joint-venture company. Assuming formation of this company, Randgold and AngloGold Ashanti will then be jointly responsible for funding the redevelopment of Obuasi in line with the plan.
A Randgold group entity will be appointed as operator of the mine, and Randgold and AngloGold Ashanti will appoint an equal number of directors to the board of the joint-venture company, with board and shareholder decisions to be approved by both parties.
Randgold estimates that redevelopment costs will be less than $1 billion. Production could be in the range of 300,000 to 600,000 oz/y.
Randgold expects to deliver the new development plan by January 31, 2016.
Randgold and AngloGold Ashanti currently have ongoing joint-venture agreements at the Kibali mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (45% Randgold, 45% AngloGold, and 10% Sokomo, a government company) and at the Morila mine in Mali (40% Randgold, 40% AngloGold, and 20% government of Mali).

Yukari Tamura, Nana Mizuki to Perform Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Vivid Theme Songs
posted on by Karen Ressler
The official website for the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Vivid television anime announced on Sunday that Nana Mizuki will perform the opening theme and Yukari Tamura will perform the ending theme. The singles do not yet have titles.
The opening will be Mizuki's 32nd single and will ship on April 22. The ending will be Tamura's 26th single and will ship on April 1.
Tamura and Mizuki will reprise their roles as Nanoha Takamachi and Fate, respectively, for the new anime.
Masaki Tsuzuki and Takuya Fujima launched the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid manga in Kadokawa's Comp Ace magazine in May 2009. Kadokawa will publish the 13th compiled volume on January 26.
The manga takes place four years after the JS incident in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, and stars Vivio Takamachi, a fourth-year elementary student at St. Hilde Academy of Magic. Vivio has learned to conjure her adult form and has received her own Device — named Sacred Heart — from Nanoha, and has promised Nanoha to never use either for mischief. Then a mysterious magical fighter appears and targets Vivio.
Yuuki Itoh (Vividred Operation assistant director) is directing the anime at A-1 Pictures. Naruo Kobayashi (ToHeart2, Itazura na Kiss) is the main writer, and Masaaki Yamano (Oreshura, Nanana's Buried Treasure animation director) is designing the characters.
Kaori Mizuhashi (Madoka Magica's Mami, Hidamari Sketch's Miyako) will star as Vivio Takamachi, and Mamiko Noto (Akame ga KILL's Shelle, Lagrange - The Flower of Rin-ne's Yōko) will play Einhart Stratos. Eri Kitamura and Misato Fukuen are joining the cast as Rio and Corona, respectively.
Tsuzuki's Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha franchise includes three television anime series, two anime films, and numerous spinoff manga. A third film, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The Movie 3rd: Reflection, was listed last January as being slated for 2014, but has yet to debut.

Neighbourhood disputes show seeks Offaly participants
FROM the makers of ITV's Children's Hospital comes a brand new documentary series about neighbourhood disputes, part of which will be filmed in Offaly and the surrounding areas, for SKY 1
This brand new documentary series will follow the work of people involved in "Community Mediation". Up and down the country there are teams of experts on hand to offer help and support in all areas of neighbourhood disputes. It's their aim to effectively resolve these issues for both parties involved.
Series Producer Fiona Inskip says: "Often there's a straightforward, mutually agreeable solution to a dispute, but rather than talk rationally to each other when the problem first arises, neighbours instead let disagreements simmer to boiling point, by which time everyone is simply too angry to work out a solution. This is where our team of experts come to the rescue"
Maverick Television will be filming this series in your area and is offering you the opportunity to take part.
Are you having difficulties with your neighbours? Are the noises next door keeping you up at all hours? Are you unhappy with how your neighbour parks their car? Perhaps you're having a dispute over the size or placement of a garden fence? Or is the litter across the street causing you concern?
It could be you're receiving unreasonable complaints from your neighbours? Do you think you're being unfairly treated in your local community? Do you think your neighbours are prying into your affairs a little too much? Or maybe you just don't get on with someone and have no idea why?
Is your neighbour's behaviour making your life unbearable?
Maverick Television are currently producing a documentary series on Community Mediation for SKY 1, following teams of experts whose job it is to help resolve neighbourly issues.
No matter how big or small the issue, If you'd like to be considered for the show, please email Trina Rea at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 087 3585285.

As Steve has recently announced, he's decided to transition away from teaching in the coming months to focus on new projects. After more than 15 years in the field of data visualization and more than 30 in IT, hopefully, we can all find our way to forgiving him for shifting his focus. It seems futile to try to estimate the number of people and organizations that have learned how to understand and communicate their data from Steve, but to say he's changed the day-to-day practice of data visualization for more people in more ways than anyone else doesn't strike me as hyperbolic.
While anyone who's attended one of Steve's workshops will tell you that it was transformative, I was completely bowled over by the public workshop that I attended in Minneapolis in 2013. Shortly after attending that workshop, I approached Steve and rather sheepishly asked if he'd ever considered adding a second instructor to teach his courses. Nick.

Odd Smells
If you've ever had a pest infestation before, you may have noticed a distinct smell associated with it. This isn't your imagination. Many pests give off recognizable smells. So, if you're familiar with it, you should be very suspicious if you ever think that you smell that particular odor again in a rental unit.
For instance, experts say that mice give off a musty, urine smell, while rats smell like ammonia. Bed bugs have a sweet, musty odor. Some experienced exterminators can even determine what kind of roach infestation you have based on the smell. Roaches have an oily odor, which some have described smells like "fecal soy sauce" [source: Hurt].
But remember that rodents and pests rummage through garbage, so they pick up those smells as they go along. A garbage smell is a bad sign in any case because it attracts more pests.

Don't tell the New York Post, but Pfizer is boosting bike lanes as part of an Advil promotion.
Pfizer Consumer Healthcare donated special snow removal equipment for bike lanes to Chicago, which ranks Number One in the country for traffic congestion, to promote Advil Congestion Relief. Chicago Bears legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Richard Dent presided over the giveaway of the equipment and 100 new bikes last week. The company is running ads for the brand under the tagline "The Right Relief for the Real Problem, and will be holding similar events in communities around the country as part of its Advil Congestion Relief Project this winter. Visitors to the campaign website, CongestionReliefProject.com, can share their community's congestion relief needs for a chance to win $30,000 towards local congestion relief efforts.
"We are passionate about finding the right relief for the real problem for consumers wherever they need it, from their noses to their communities," said Kristin Shea, franchise head for upper respiratory and allergy at Pfizer Consumer Healthcare. "We're excited to be hitting the road with the Advil Congestion Relief Project this cold and flu season and look forward to seeing the stories our consumers will share with us about their communities.

American Bankruptcy Institute
Extent: 21 linear feet (50 boxes and one photo album box)
Harry Dixon Jr. (1944-2006), a lawyer from Nebraska, wanted to form an organization with the dual purpose of providing Congress with expert and unbiased views on legislation and creating an institution that could keep the bankruptcy community aware of legislative activities affecting them. In February 1982, Dixon incorporated under Nebraska law this new organization which was to be called the American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI). The records of the American Bankruptcy Institute document two main areas of the organization: the history and operating activities of the American Bankruptcy Institute and the organization's professional activities, publications, and research on bankruptcy related issues. The materials date from 1982-2013, with the bulk from 1985-1996. Materials are largely in paper format, comprising correspondence, memos, facsimiles, resumes/c.v., financial records, by-laws, articles of incorporation, certificates, lease agreement, newsletters, marketing materials, clippings, press releases, scripts, white papers, meeting files which typically include agendas, minutes, and sign-in sheets, committee files, conference and seminar material, Library of Congress reports, information bulletins, Congressional reports, records, and bills, court records, briefs, procedures, Congressional hearing testimonies and remarks, publications, monographs, and other related printed matter. The records also include audiovisual materials such as photographs, VHS tapes, audio cassette tapes, DVDs, and CDs. The strengths of the American Bankruptcy Institute records are the documentation of the Board of Directors files; ABI conference and seminar files; ABI's effort to expand membership; Committee files; and the organization's analysis of bankruptcy legislation from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s. Extensive areas of analysis by ABI include the U.S. Trustee Program which include numerous oversight hearings; Chapter 7 Substantial Abuse; Chapter 12 Family Farmer Bankruptcy; additional bankruptcy judgeships; the Bankruptcy Amendments and Federal Judgeship Act of 1984 (BAFJA) including the Bankruptcy Survey Project conducted by the ABI after the law (BAFJA) went into effect; judicial salaries; leveraged buyouts (LBO); pension plans and retirement benefits; proposed amendments to bankruptcy rules and forms; significant Supreme Court cases; S. 1985 National Bankruptcy Review Commission Act, S. 1559 Bankruptcy Technical Corrections Act, and testimonies before various Congressional committees from 1989-1996.

We became familiar with Taima earlier this year when she decided to go hang out with some fans. Today the Seahawks' live bird mascot "helped" CBS Sports reporter Dana Jacobson while she delivered a four-minute live shot from CenturyLink Field. The bird very early on tried to escape, but a handler restored the hawk back to Jacobson's arm. Let the bird fly, people!

As I was compiling a list of all my favorite gluten free cookbooks, gluten related medical/health books and my "would be lost without" kitchen gadgets, I realized that I've never shared any lists like this on my website before. So here they come!
In order to keep these lists manageable, I'm going to break them up into a few different posts over the next week. And yes, these will make for some great last minute Christmas gifts for all those super adorable gluten free peeps in your life! 😉
Okay, the first selection of cookbooks below are those which are "just gluten free," meaning gluten-free is the main purpose of the cookbook (and the recipes are not necessarily free of other allergens like eggs, dairy, soy, etc.), but most of the recipes are easily tweakable to fit your family's specific dietary needs.
Next up, you will see my recommended dairy free and allergen friendly cookbooks. Please note that the books in this category may not fall under the "gluten-free" label, but gluten is a fairly easy ingredient to substitute…especially if you have a favorite go-to gluten free all purpose flour blend (mine is Better Batter).
Lastly, I will share my favorite regular cookbooks that have taught me the most about cooking and baking in general or have inspired some of the more unusual recipes on my website…like my homemade dairy-free, soy-free "processed" cheeze loaf, LOL!
Remember, where there is a will, there IS A WAY…we just have to find it first! 😀
If your cookbook budget is lacking (whose isn't in this economy)…consider getting a L.I.B.R.A.R.Y. C.A.R.D. 😯

To create a higher sale price for your business, an entrepreneur must consider the three primary elements of value and create a strategy for increasing value drivers in each one: the market place, business value drivers and your team of advisers.
The Market Place – You cannot control the marketplace but you can use it to your advantage through careful timing.
Increasing the value of your business through value drivers is where you as the entrepreneur have the most control over the sale price.
Advisory Team. Two teams are often engaged to sell a company; an exit planning team and a transition team.

My hands trembled in exhaustion as I struggled to bring up the monster I had hooked. Deep in its underwater lair, the creature thrashed and battled in desperation against the steel barb in its mouth. The taut line, capable of taking sixty pounds of pressure, is straining, threatening to snap at any time. Inch by inch, the creature is pulled up to the surface. Already, I could see it's silvery scales gleaming under the glare of my headlamp.
Hoots of laughter and cheers filled the boat as my hour long battle seemed to draw to a close. I grinned, knowing I had it in the bag. Then, with a sudden burst of energy, the creature sped off back into the dark depths of the ocean. My reel screeched in protest, the rod bent to its limit. Then a loud crack as the line snapped, throwing me off balance onto the cabin window.
Cheers turned to groans of defeat. Joy turned to dejectedness. I slid the rod back into the holder and gazed into the depths of the ocean. I hardly noticed the burning sensation in my forearms as my frustration slowly turned into weariness. The monster of the deep had eluded me once again.
Fishing off the Coast of Indonesia
Every year, I head for the game rich waters of Indonesia to do battle with some of the ocean's large predators. Great trevallies, leopard rays and massive groupers roam these waters providing an opportunity for anglers like me to test our skills.
The two hour ferry ride from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal in Singapore ended at the Tanjong Pinang Ferry Terminal in Indonesia. Having reserved our fishing vessel a year in advance, we were greeted by the agent who wasted no time in getting his workers to lug away our cooler boxes and bags of angling gear. The two hours we had before being hustled onto the fishing vessel was spent buying last minute 'essentials' such as diabetes inducing soft drinks and cancer causing cigarettes.
At 12pm, our fishing vessel chugged out to sea. Being an old sea salt, I knew that it would be an eight hour journey across somewhat choppy seas to reach our first fishing spot. While the newbies excitedly chatted and eagerly fixed up their fishing gear on deck, I snuggled up in the cabin's double decker bed, enjoying what I knew would be the few times I would get to sleep for the next three days.
Our fishing vessel was unfortunately not one of those flashy fibreglass sports fishing vessels as always seen in Hollywood movies. More a 12m wooden boat with a fibreglass deck. Despite its raggedy appearance, it held a 12 bed air conditioned cabin, a small galley and a wide rear deck for fishing. It carried a crew of five Indonesians and twelve passengers. Cost for chartering the boat? A cool S$2000.
The waters we were fishing in were also not the safest in the region. Pirates were known to operate in the area. Forget Jack Sparrow and think AK-47 wielding bandits who have no qualms robbing and kidnapping the passengers. According to the International Maritime Bureau, Indonesia is the most piracy prone country in the world. Just ask the crew for stories and they could relate to you a novel full of them, from how a yacht from Australia was hijacked and the woman on-board tragically raped in front of her husband to how massive tankers were hijacked and broken up to be sold for scrap metal.
So, it was well after sunset, still snuggled up between the sheets when I felt the boat slowing. Jumping out of bed, I headed up to deck to begin fishing. With my rod assembled in minutes and my line baited, it took less than fifteen minutes after it hit the water before the fish began to bite.
Minutes later, I easily hauled in my first fish, a small 1kg trevally. Lines were rebaited and tossed in again. For the next few hours, the fishing was good. I lost a few seemingly large ones but generally managed to snare some decent sized fish. Fishing continued throughout the night into the morning with the most aggressive bites spanning from 5am to 8am.
The next evening, fishing was similarly spectacular. The entertainment value was upped by the sight of wild dolphins frolicking around our boat. To top that off, I scored a trio of barracudas sealing my reputation as the Barra Hunter among the rest of the anglers. There was a sense of exhilaration throughout the night. Then, without much warning, the first raindrops started falling.
Not long after, the rain turned into a maelstrom which caused us to hurriedly reel in our lines. The water was getting choppier by the minute and we were struggling to even stand upright. One by one, everyone started to get seasick from the intense rocking on the boat. The newbies were the first to fall, taking turns to 'make out' with the toilet bowl.
Despite my reputation for not easily succumbing to sea-sickness, i feel a weird nauseous sensation welling in my throat. I dug deep inside me, enduring the discomfort i felt. Standing out in the rear of the boat, i was drenched, trying with futility to light a cigarette in the strong winds. For a moment, i felt a sliver of fear in my stomach. A fear of capsizing and drowning.
When it became apparent that the storm would not let up, our boat turned tail and fled back to the shelter of the islands. The boat rode the waves reluctantly, the bow slamming back down into the trough of the wave after ascending it's crest. It was well after 3am when the storm calmed, the waters receding back into the small waves.
Thus, in slightly calmer waters, we continued to fish albeit the fish there were smaller and sparser.
I woke up to a brilliant sunrise that morning, the indication that our fishing trip was finally over. In all, we had caught well over two hundred fish with a hundred of them being mackerel. The largest so far was a 25kg black stingray. My personal largest for the trip was my 5kg barracuda.
The catch was not wasted, with the bulk being divided up and transported back into Singapore for distribution among friends and family.
As the fish was cleaned before being packed, the cook turned to me and grinned his toothless smile.
'Are you coming back next year?" he cackled.
I did not hesitate. "Absolutely!"
