You like playing games, right? Of course you do, else you wouldn't be reading this. Or maybe you stumbled upon the site by accident one day, and keep coming back simply because you love our witty and insightful copy. If that's the case, bless your little cotton socks, flattery/sarcasm will get you everywhere. Anyway, to get back on track, maybe you're interested in making games? There's more to it than buying a cookie-cutter game generator for a tenner and putting in 45 minutes of work, of course. If you're well aware of that and still interested, BAFTA may well be able to help you.
BAFTA's running a series of talks over a long weekend that's so awesome, it's even got its own trailer. That's the video what we put up there, guv. Guru Live starts Saturday 30th April and ends Monday 2nd May, featuring talks from BAFTA winners and nominees from the worlds of games, TV, and the talkies. On the game side of things you have nifty names such as Dan Gray of Monument Valley fame, Adam Hay who did audio work on Everybody's Gone To The Rapture, and Meg Jayanth, who wrote the critically-acclaimed 80 days.
The biggest draw for some will be Tommy Palm. Mr Palm is co-founder and CEO of Resolution Games, and helped oversee the creation and success of the world-dominating Candy Crush Saga. It's fair to say that he knows something about making games that people enjoy playing and, as a pleasant side effect, produce shedloads of cash. Despite the talent behind some of the industry's best-known and best-reviewed games being in attendance, each session has a very reasonable price tag of six pounds for entry. There are also 150 'Guru Pro' tickets available for people with at least six months' experience in the industry, which includes one-to-ones and roundtables. We don't know if Mr Palm features in the Guru Pro extras, but we hope so. Imagine being able to say "I'm going to have a one-to-one with Tommy Palm". Well, you could say that anyway, but ordinarily it would just be a snigger-inducing euphemism.
For full details of the talks available, who'll be giving them, and of course to book tickets, toddle your virtual self over to guru.bafta.org/live/games.

State Pushing for Wednesday Opening of Burley-Olalla Interchange
The new Burley-Olalla Road interchange with Highway 16 might not open to traffic after a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday morning. Some finish work is going down to the wire.
Regardless, most of the transportation, police and local officials who participated in the ground-breaking on Aug. 8, 2008, are coming back for Wednesday's ceremony. They include state Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond, Department of Transportation Olympic Region administrator Kevin Dayton, state Sen. Derek Kilmer, D-Gig Harbor, Kitsap County Sheriff Steve Boyer, and Judy Oke, whose late husband Sen. Bob Oke pressed to get the unsafe intersection fixed. The event will be at 10 a.m. under new bridges that carry the highway over Burley-Olalla Road.
Jack Campbell, project superintendent for contractor Ceccanti Inc., said Monday that it could be next week before the work is completed. Brenden Clarke, project engineer for the DOT, was still holding out hope for Wednesday.
"We are hoping at the end of the ceremony on Wednesday to open things up, but it's going to be close," he said. "We're doing all we can to get there."
Guardrails are the main concern. The road can't open without them, and two crews are racing to install them, Clarke said. Final striping will be completed on Tuesday. Some curbing has to wait for the guardrails, but it can be added later. There was also a washout Friday that's being repaired, Campbell said.
Whether the deadline is made or not, the $24.3 million project will still be finished a year early. The job, which began in late July 2008, wasn't expected to be completed until next fall.
The biggest timesaver was building permanent off- and on-ramps and using them as detours around the bridge work, Campbell said. The original plan called for bypass roads built out farther.
"It saved building extra roads that didn't need to be built and then removing the roads," Campbell said.
Ceccanti made it harder on itself in some ways by not building the bypass roads. Without them, there wasn't enough room to move equipment from one side of the bridges to the other. And it made it more difficult to put 320-foot-long fish culverts 30 feet under the road.
The project was supposed to hibernate for two winters, but Ceccanti plowed through the first one and will be long gone before the second.
"Had we built it per the original plan, which was a very low-risk, conservative plan, we'd still be working out here," said the DOT's Clarke. "The fact that they were able to build the new on- and off-ramps before winter set in allowed them to do the bridge and retaining wall construction during the winter."
The project is called a grade-separated tight-diamond interchange. That means Burley-Olalla Road will run under the highway instead of cars trying to dart across high-speed traffic, as they did previously. Ceccanti's quick work will remove the danger and give locals their direct route back a year early.
"They've been working Saturdays for the last month and a half, working long hours, taking advantage of every good weather day we've had," Clarke said of the project, which is not only early but under budget. "No matter how you measure it, it's been a success."

Fall has arrived, and the North Bay's beer explosion shows no sign of slowing down. Warped Brewing Company, run by the folks from Occidental's Barley & Hops, has moved closer to the opening of a 10 bbl production brewery later this year in Sebastopol. They'll be serving up a lineup of four to five beers, in addition to Pliny and others. . . . Speaking of Sebastopol, Woodfour Brewing Company has plans to open a new brewery and "Sonoma-inspired bistro" in the Barlow development. Led by founder and CEO Seth Wood, Woodfour promises an artisan-brewing experience and "complex and elegant" beers. . . . HenHouse Brewing Co. out of Petaluma continues rising to the top with a glowing write-up in the San Francisco Chronicle focusing on the team's popular oyster stout. The upstart company reports to the Bohemian that it will be releasing a wet hop ESB in September, brewed with Marin-grown wet hops. Look for it at TAPS in Petaluma soon.
Ruth McGowan's has been racking up awards lately, winning two gold awards, one silver, and one bronze at the California State Fair Beer Awards last July. Decorated beers include the Cloverdale ale (American Amber Ale) and Floyd IPA (American IPA). Other North Bay breweries to win the gold include Sonoma Springs Brewing Company, Marin Brewing Company, Moylan's and Bear Republic. . . . Iron Springs Pub and Brewery, whose Kent Lake Kölsch won the bronze at the 2011 Great American Beer Festival, celebrates its eighth anniversary on Oct. 8. It'll be offering $2.50 pints, doing a dinner giveaway and offering complimentary appetizers all night. Does Iron Springs make birthday cakes flavored with beer?
After four years of planning, Napa Smith Brewery has opened the doors to its onsite beer pub. It offers 10 beers on tap and actually encourages people to bring in their own food to go with the pilsner, IPA, barleywine and ales on tap. Make a hot dog at home and drink it with a Lost Dog American red ale at the pub. Napa Smith offers growlers for take-home as well. . . . In Windsor, Old Redwood Brewing Company welcomed its first guests last spring. Billed as Windsor's first nanobrewery, Old Redwood serves stouts and IPAs, and recently brewed up a batch of beer made with Sonoma County hops donated by the Windsor Historical Society. According to its Facebook page, a menu is in the works for a brewer's dinner on Nov. 2. . . . Novato has a reason to smile with the opening of a new Hopmonk Tavern in the former Southern Pacific Smokehouse building, set for November 2012. Expect the pub's signature beers plus live music. Up north, Hopmonk Sebastopol hosts a Shmaltz Brewer's Dinner on Sept. 30. Tickets are $65 and include a four-course meal paired with Shmaltz beers.
Beer festivals are rad, and the California Beer Festival should be no exception. Expect 60 craft brews on tap, yummy food and a Michael Jackson tribute band to help wash it all down. It all happens on Saturday, Sept. 22, at Stafford Lake Park in Novato; tickets are $45–$50. . . . Hop fans are marking the days until the Green Hop Fest at the Toad in the Hole Pub. There'll be outdoor seating, live music and fresh hop ales from Moonlight, Bear Republic, Russian River, Lagunitas and others. It's free, so celebrate the hop harvest on Sunday, Oct. 14, at the Toad in the Hole. (Start time: 4:20pm, bro.)
October is for beer, so what better reason to check out one of the many Oktoberfest events running from Sept. 22–Oct. 7? Heritage Public House's celebration includes the release of Anderson Valley's latest concoction, El Steinber. Barley & Hops will offer a beer brewed in conjunction with Cloverdale's Ruth McGowan's, the cleverly named "Pimpsnhosenfest." . . . And look out suburban beer enthusiasts, there's a spanking new store in Rohnert Park! BeerCraft is a "Craft Beer Bottle Shop" that offers weekly specials with a focus on American craft beers. It's been described by one in-the-know beer expert as "really choice."

bringing its snuggly little widgets to other devices all the back in February, and it looks like we're finally seeing some action -- "powered by Chumby" gear should be on shelves by the end of the year. The first device out of the gate will be -- surprise, surprise -- a digital picture frame from an unnamed partner that will apparently integrate with Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter, and offer new feeds, internet radio, and weather. You know, Chumby stuff. We're more interested in seeing the fruits of Chumby's new partnership with Samsung -- Sammy's already doing widgets like crazy with TouchWiz on mobile and Yahoo's Widget Engine in the living room, so we're wondering where Chumby fits in. We're also wondering what'll happen to the Chumby hardware now that the company seems focused on becoming a software company -- maybe we'll finally place that order.
[Thanks, Craig; Photo is that sweet Chumby telephone mod]

UK Hospital sues parents and wins custody of child they want to kill — and refuses parents' pleas to take child to another hospital
- UK Hospital sentences 2-year-old old to death, will pull plug and inject fatal chemicals THIS WEEK
- Hospital sued parents for custody and have police by the child's bedside "protecting" the child from parents
- Despite pleas from the desperate parents and protesters outside hospital — and request for transfers to an Italian hospital
UPDATE: Monday, April 23rd, the hospital removed little Alfie from his breathing support. The hospital has permission to inject execution-style chemicals to stop his heart at any time.
Alfie is fighting to survive and breathing on his own despite doctors swearing Alfie would not be able to. But he is proving the doctors WRONG!
Original article:
Another tragedy is unfolding in the UK just months after baby Charlie Gard was ultimately sent to his death by another UK hospital.
Alfie Evans, a 2-year-old boy, is in the hospital with an undiagnosed neurological disorder with seizures — technically in a "coma." But his parents have published videos showing the child yawning, stretching, sucking on a pacifier, opening his eyes and reacting to his parents' voice — all this despite the massive doses of sedatives he is given at the hospital.
But the hospital is adamant that it's "in the best interest" of the boy to be KILLED. The parents disagree, so the hospital sued the parents. The court ordered the child to be killed. Police are at Alfie's bed, day and night, making sure the parents can't "kidnap" their son for treatment elsewhere.
Alder Hey, a Liverpool hospital, has SUED the parents of 2-year-old Alfie Evans and won custody of the little boy to enact their plan to end the child's life DESPITE evidence the child is responding to his parents' voices and touch.
After Alfie´s desperate father flew to Italy to beg for Vatican support, the Pope pleaded for justice for Alfie and asked the UK government to step in and allow a transfer to a hospital in Rome. The hospital has offered lifetime care for Alfie and to pay for the transfer, but Alder Hey hospital REFUSES to let the boy leave, and turned off his ventilator last night.
The parents' desperate pleas have fallen on deaf ears, even after the Pope's intervention and guarantee that a hospital in Rome will pay all expenses for the transfer and care of Alfie.
If the hospital is tired of caring for the child, why not just let the child leave the hospital and go to Italy for treatment? Why is the hospital so adamant they want to be the one that kills the child?
Some say hospitals pull these stunts to hide damage that they have accidentally done to the patient while under their care. Some say when a hospital fights to kill a child patient, they are covering up medical testing that has been done without parental consent.
Huge research grants are paid to secure and use children for medical research and testing, when they garner custody of the children, the parents cannot say no, get a second opinion or change doctors and the children become hospital/research test subjects. Most research requires that hospitals conduct an autopsy and harvest organs for lab analysis. Alder Hey hospital has been under scrutiny for past programs where organs and tissues were harvested without parental consent.
Could this be why the hospital now has armed guards surrounding Alfie's bed and Alfie´s father is no longer allowed to touch him? Their visits have also been limited to only a few hours a day.
Alfie's parents have also published pictures documenting the abuse and neglect of Alfie at Alder Hey (unexplained burn mark, blood and secretion stains, moldy tubes and clothes soaked in urine due to diaper change neglect).
In front of the hospital, dozens, hundreds, sometimes over a thousand people rally peacefully demanding the release of Alfie. Among them, the boy's parents, Kate and Tom, with passports in their hands. From the whole family, only the parents still have partial access to their son – sometimes, for a while, under police supervision. The Child's father, Thomas Evans, has been banned from touching his son under threat of arrest for assault.
Evans traveled to Italy to meet the Pope and beg for help in saving his son. He has asked for asylum for the family in Italy. In the meantime, the British court set the date for the execution of the child for today April 23.
The hospital is to remove the child's respiration support, but because they expect that Alfie may be able to continue breathing on his own, he is to be given substances causing chemical suffocation: Midazolam and Fentanyl — used in executions of convicted criminals.
According to the British court's verdict, the details of the executions are banned from publication in the United Kingdom. The verdict also specifies that if the child should struggle for his life, he is to be given increasing doses of the substances until the desired effect is achieved.

A similar case took place not long ago. After months of fighting, the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London succeeded in killing Charlie Gard despite desperate please from his family.
A similar situation happened three years ago. The parents of a boy named Aysha King "kidnapped" their child from the British hospital to take him for cancer treatment in Switzerland. They went to jail for it, but managed to save their son's life. It was recently announced that that boy has been completely cured of cancer in Switzerland.
It's clear that hospitals are not always the beacon of healthcare and sometimes we are better off without medical intervention. In fact, leading experts in the United States recently estimated that medical errors are now the third leading cause of death. More on that here.
Alfie's parents have said the neurological issues and seizures came on suddenly around the time of his 4 and 6 month vaccines, and got increasingly worse. Doctors said they cannot explain the condition or what the cause is. Seizures are well-documented side effect of vaccines as are neurological issues and paralysis. See the scientific studies here.
PLEASE SHARE this post and video EVERYWHERE using the links below (groups, FB pages of UK media & lawmakers, tweet, email, etc) in hopes it may reach someone who will force the hospital to let baby Alfie leave with his parents.
Video showing Alfie opening his eyes
Protesters supporting the family of terminally ill toddler Alfie Evans stand outside a children's hospital today, after his parents were denied the chance to present their case before the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).
Around 200 people arrived at Liverpool's Alder Hey hospital where the little boy currently is, to protest the judges' decision to end the 23-months-old child's life support.
Alfie's parents want to move their son from Alder Hey to a hospital in Rome. The couple said Italian doctors were willing to treat the little boy and an air ambulance was available.
Justices at Britain's Supreme Court and ECHR judges also refused to intervene.
Doctors are often quick to claim someone is brain dead when recovery is actually possible…
LIVERPOOL, England, April 22, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — Alfie Evans will be given Midazolam and Fentanyl when his life-support is removed.
Thomas Evans published part of a legal document that explains how the Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust plans to end his son's life.
The document Evans published states: "With regard to the process of withdrawal of ventilation from Alfie, the Trust proposes that … a cannula will be placed in situ and infusions of Midazolam (an anxiolytic) and Fentanyl (an analgaesic) will be prepared. They would be commenced and increased to control symptoms if necessary."
The Trust would provide "suction of the mouth and an airway" to the infant while his heart and breathing monitors are stopped. His parents would be allowed to hold him, or he could be left in his cot, if they preferred. His breathing tube would then be disconnected from the ventilator and removed from his body. The medical team would then "step back " and observe "Alfie's situation and level of comfort," so as to "respond quickly–ensuring comfort and support."
The next paragraph of the document assumes the child will die as a result of the above actions.
"Once all external signs of life have ceased, one of the senior doctors will sensitively physically examine Alfie to confirm that death has occurred and report the time of death."
One of the more dangerous side effects of Fentanyl, one of the drugs to be introduced to Alfie before his ventilator is removed, is respiratory depression. This could mean that there is a risk Alfie would be unable to breathe on his own because of the drug.
One argument of Alder Hey's supporters is that Alfie's life support is not "natural". Their assumption is that Alfie will die "naturally" once he is removed from the ventilator. However, Alfie's father has long maintained that Alfie would be able breathe for himself were he not on sedatives preventing him from breathing independently.
Tom Evans posted the end-of-life plan to Facebook alongside recent photos of the boy, commenting "And this is the execution plan put in place by [Alder Hey]. Where is this treatment, where's our involvement, where's our say, how is this legal?"
According the the document, the withdrawal of Alfie's ventilator–and the intravenous introduction of Midazolam and Fentanyl–will take place in Alfie's cubicle in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at Alder Hey.
Alder Hey requested that only four people from the family be present when Alfie's "extubation" takes place: his parents and two immediate family members. They say that a "priest may be present at any time" if the family is being supported by one.
U.S. Pediatrics professor: "legalized killing" such as done to pet dog
Pediatrics professor Dr. Paul A. Byrne told LifeSiteNews that Alfie ought to have a tracheostomy.
"It is highly unlikely that Alfie will be able to breathe sufficiently without a tracheostomy, which was indicated and should have been done more than a year ago," he said.
"A tracheostomy would facilitate treatment of Alfie, weaning from the ventilator, and allowing for transfer to another treatment center or his home," Byrne continued.
"Not doing a tracheostomy has institutionalized Alfie. It has been somewhat like being in jail. Stopping [the] ventilator with ET tube in place is more difficult for Alfie; however, doctors will be able to say they simply stopped the ventilator."
Byrne also said that the Midazolam and Fentanyl will shorten Alfie's life.
"Midazolam (Versed) decreases memory," he said. "Fentanyl decreases cough and breathing. These will shorten Alfie's life so that those around will have a shorter time to watch and observe Alfie live."
The American doctor did not mince words when giving his opinion of Alder Hey's end-of-life plan.
"Not to treat Alfie with trach and ventilator is legalized killing," he told LifeSiteNews. "A disease that is of unknown cause, and does not have a presently known treatment that has resulted in a child with disabilities is not a reason to euthanize, as is commonly [done] to a pet dog."
Last minute petition filed to European Court of Human Rights
Tom Evans and Alfie's mother, Kate James, have been trying to overturn a court order directing Alder Hey Children's hospital in Liverpool to remove their son's ventilator.
They filed a petition to the European Court of Human Rights after the UK Supreme Court refused to hear their case. They sought to overturn the UK Court of Appeal's ruling last Monday against the parents' argument that their son is being unlawfully detained by the hospital. It was the Court of Appeal that set Monday, April 23rd, as the date for the removal of Alfie's ventilation.
Alfie Evans, born May 9, 2016, is lying critically ill in Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation in Liverpool. His doctors say that he has an undiagnosed neurological condition that has resulted in serious and irreparable brain damage. In February 2018, Alder Hey won a legal decision that continued life support was not in the child's best interests. Alfie's parents have been fighting it ever since.
Last Tuesday, Tom Evans flew to Rome to meet with Pope Francis. The pontiff was said to be moved by the meeting with Evans and said that the young man's courage reminded him of the love of God, Who is reluctant to lose any of His children.
At Pope Francis' behest, Bishop Cavina is serving as the mediator between the Holy See and Alfie's family. Barring a last-minute reprieve from the European Court of Human Rights, Cavina's skills as a diplomat may be the family's last hope to save Alfie's life.
It's with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Baby Alfie Evans at 2.30am on the 27th April, four days after his ventilator was removed.
He may be gone from this world, but he will NEVER be forgotten.
We will do everything in our power to expose the corruption and greed behind his murder.
Let's be clear, he did not die of his brain condition, he was medically MURDERED.
It's shocking that this can happen in a "civilized" world. It's clear the medical system is now ruled by profit, greed and ego.
It's now up to us to be the Alfie's voice and ensure he did not die in vain. It's up to us to insist on justice.
Things MUST change and it begins with us.
Thank you Alfie for inspiring us to fight harder. Thank you for being a true hero. Thank you shining your light on the darkness in this world, even at the ultimate price.

Lake Powell.
I have only zipped past it before, never stopping and taking in the vastness or beauty of the surrounding area.
We wanted a place to stay en route to our destination near Bryce Canyon NP. We love to boondock/dry camp/free camp…whatever you want to call it. It normally involves quiet, wide open spaces, peaceful nights, and is FREE! We're fully set up to boondock for a while. We have a 100 gallon fresh water tank, 50 each of gray & black, a battery bank to sustain us a few days and a generator. If we could boondock all the time, we would!
We usually search freecampsites.net and campendium to find the free camp spots. There are a few other places to search as well, but these are the main two we use.
We arrived at Lone Rock Beach; a part of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, just past the state line in Utah.
It's not quite free. There is a small fee of $14 or 1/2 off if you have an ACCESS or Senior Pass to the National Parks. There was a dump station and potable water fill for us to use. There were many "roads" leading to the beach: pathways through the sand. We headed towards the waters edge and the rest of the campers hoping we chose the right path and weren't going to get stuck in the sand. Most of the paths seemed decent enough but there were a few that would've proven difficult. Zero phone reception. Tons of beauty. And friendly neighbors.
Being that we were here in early April, the water was too cold to go swimming but we enjoyed the sunny days. Lone Rock Beach is a short distance to Glen Canyon Dam and the visitor center. The center had views of the dam and many interactive exhibits explaining the construction of the dam, its intended purpose, the changed landscape, etc. Very interesting stuff! And the kids earned Junior Ranger badges. You can even take a tour of the dam. $5 at the time of me writing this. We didn't take it, so I can't vouch for it.
If heights don't freak you out, walk across the bridge. You'll get great views of the dam and really be able to see the difference in water level from the river below versus the lake beyond the dam.
Beyond the bridge is the city of Page, AZ. We didn't explore it much beyond going grocery shopping and finding a park to play at. Just outside of town, past the Walmart, on the same side of the road, is parking for Horseshoe Bend. Blink and you'll miss the sign. The "hike" to the viewpoint is a little over a mile roundtrip. You'll go up a sandy, well marked hill and then back down. Very wide path. There is a pavillion near the halfway point if you need to sit and catch your breath. Beware…this is not a maintained area. There are no guardrails. So keep those kids close!
It was VERY windy when we were there. If you dare to look down you'll see the iconic bend in the Colorado River, a small camp spot and perhaps a boat or two cruising along. You can also witness many not clearly thinking people taking selfies on the edge and backing up towards their almost death. You can get great views without that 😉
Back at the camp spot, we relaxed the rest of our days. We watched kayakers. We chatted with new friends. We had campfires. We played in the sand.
Above, I mentioned it was too cold to swim: too cold for humans. Our dog Chanelle made some new friends and one of them jumped into the lake to fetch a stick and she followed. She NEVER in her 11 years has voluntarily gone into the water. She's normally freaked by it. You could see on her face an "oh shit what have I done" look. So she tried to hop on her buddy's back for a piggyback ride back to shore. And then he jumped in again, and she followed over and over. He didn't mind and she seemed to enjoy her new experience.

So Google decided to break the Internet paradigm today by releasing a new tool called Fast Flip. It's essentially a visual browser for news. Google apparently has far too much spare CPU time in its datacenters so they decided to take image snapshots of news pages.
This is solid evidence that Google has lost its collective mind. The Internet is about links and connecting content to content. I felt slightly stupid when I clicked on what looked like a search box in one of the snapshots only to find out it's not a search box but an image of one.
Is there research out there that supports the theory that people want visual artifacts (in the form of snapshots, thumbnails and the like) vs. the actual content? Searchme, a cover flow-style search engine, tried to fulfill a similar phantom need. They raised a ton of venture capital to deliver this visual browse search engine. Nobody cared and now they're gone.
What's interesting about this tool is that it's the anti-Readability. Instead of helping us get rid of the junk around what we're trying to read, Google fossilized the layout – junk and all – in images.

Rafting on Tara River is a unique adventure full of adrenaline. Under full gear, both in the summer and winter conditions, you can experience the most thrilling ride of your life. Just trust yourself to the professionals who do this work for over 30 years and feel the magic of one of the officially most beautiful rivers in the world!
Located in the central part of the massif Bjelasica, Biogradska gora is one of the three remaining primeval forests in Europe. In addition to the Biogradsko lake located that is located in the canter of Biogradska gora, there are also other glacial lakes such as: Pešića, Ursulovačko (big one and small one) and Šiško (big one and small one). The largest part of the park is the rainforest's reservation. The age of some trees is estimated to be over 400 years old, some of which are over 40m high. There are many archaeological sites, religious monuments, necropolis, and particularly characteristic folk architecture – pastures and shepherds huts, chalets, mills...
The bay for which many poets have said that it is certainly one the most beautiful bays in the world. Historically this bay is a strategically and culturally very important place. The old town of Kotor that is under the protection of UNESCO and witnesses a rich story about people, objects, and carnivals that have a long tradition of several centuries, Perast – a town of sailors that made this region glorious thought the world, Risan – the capital of the ancient Illyrian state and the legendary Queen Teuta, as well as several islands each of which has its own story of the past.
The old historic capital of Montenegro tells a story about culture, traditions and customs that have survived to the present day: the Billiard room, Zetski dom, king Nikola's castle, the monastery of Cetinje... This cultural core of Montenegro except from the town of Cetinje also includes the Lovćen national park along with the mausoleum of Petar II Petrović Njegoš – certainly one of the most important historical figures of Montenegro. After touring the town of Cetinje, and then climbing 420 stairs that lead to the mausoleum at the top of the mountain where you can witness the most beautiful view of a greater part of Montenegro with the whole coast, afterwards you come to the serpentine that descend all the way down to the Bay of Kotor offering a spectacular view that will awaken in you the most pleasant emotions and you will wish to come back again!
Monastery Ostrog is a monastery of the Orthodox Church, built in a rock high up in the mountain. It is dedicated to St Basil who founded it in 17th century where he was buried and declared a saint and miracle worker. It is the largest sanctuary in Montenegro and because of its history thousands of believers visit the location every year from all over the world and all confessions.
Skadar Lake is the biggest lake in Montenegro and in the Balkans. The lake is full of islands and peninsulas all of which have traces of history and valuable cultural heritage: Žabljak Crnojevića (15th century) – the historic capital of the old Zeta province, Lesendro – old fortress on a rock in the middle of the lake, Grmožur fort, etc... Clear water and preserved environment enabled the development of extremely rich eco-system. This is the only habitat of pelicans in southern Europe. On the shore of the lake there is a small village - Rijeka Crnojevića which organises yearly traditional festivals of fish and wine. Nearby are the remains of the city Obod where a printing house was located which printed the first book in this part of Europe in 1494 – the Oktoih. Besides enjoying the natural beauty of the lake, visitors can engage in various activities such as sailing, cruising and fishing in small fishing boats that represent a real pleasure, especially in the hot summer and spring months.

Regional business big and small has a story to tell
QUEENSLAND Treasurer Tim Nicholls said on Thursday businesses across the state now had the opportunity to showcase to the world what they do best after nominations opened for the Premier's Export Awards.
He said what better place for a regional business to tell their unique story than on the international stage - just ask Bundaberg Brewed Drinks who won the top gong at last year's awards.
"Bundaberg Brewed Drinks have a fantastic story to tell, especially surrounding their commitment to their home base," he said.
"I do not think I have ever seen happier winners and deservedly so.
"We look forward to more regional entrants in the awards this year
"It is a great opportunity for regional Queensland to show their wears about what is happening in this great state."
Mr Nicholls said Queensland businesses had a lot to offer the global economy.
"There have been some great Queensland businesses who have won these awards," he said.
"The G20 later this year will also be the perfect platform to showcase what we do in Queensland and how well we do it."
Applications for this year's awards close on July 30.
Winners will be announced at a gala dinner in Brisbane on October 24.
State winners will then go on to compete against their interstate counterparts at the Australian Export Awards in November.

A Conversation for Rainbows End - Fact and Fiction
cone !?!
pike Started conversation Apr 9, 2003
sorry, i didn't get the cone part
i don't see anything cone-shaped in a rainbow!
and i really don't like the idea of having a huge cone stuck in my eyeball
oh, i don't get the two-eye-thing too.
i mean, a rainbow and its shape have nothing to do with the number of eyes we use to observe it
cone !?!
Pongo Posted Apr 23, 2003
It isn't a cone because it isn't a solid object. Pass light through a prism and what do you get? A rainbow! What therefore is a rainbow? It is the light refracted into individual frequencys of the electro magnetic spectrum. Is light a cone? No! So a rainbow is therefore not a cone!
In real world terms the other day I was waiting in a queue for the car wash, when the spray came on a rainbow appeared in front of me, I could quite clearly see the end of this rainbow where it terminated in the ground, I also know if I moved to the spot where the rainbow ended and looked across to the other end I wouldn't see the rainbow, because a) it's not 3D b) the light scource would have moved.
cone !?!
Recumbentman Posted Jul 11, 2003
Sorry to be so long replying -- yes, a cone is a solid but you're splitting hairs there. The shape of the rainbow is the shape of the surface of a cone, which can reasonably be described as conical.
More precisely the rainbow's shape is the shape of the mirror that shows it to us.
It's not logical to describe what we see as 'light' and derive conclusions from that. Look at this page on your screen. What do you see? Light. Is light a page? No! So a page is therefore not a page!
"Conical" describes the shape of the selection of (ever-changing) water-droplets that show us reflections of the sun, in the form of a rainbow.
cone !?!
ford_imperfect Posted Nov 15, 2003
It could be said that the cone is formed by the wave/particle nature of light, so the cone that ends in your eye is made up of the light particles (photons) travelling towards you. The reason it's cone shaped is that it starts off widely dispersed, and ends up on your eyeball.
The thing is, though, is that then the number of rainbow cones that exist depends on the number of viewers. They all will have their own cone attached(!) to their eye(s), with different geometry for each one.
I prefer to think of them as intangible non-objects, no more a corporeal entity than the prism light, or sunlight (or solar wind?).
String Theorists may have a different view.
cone !?!
Recumbentman Posted Nov 15, 2003
Another possibility is that there is and has ever been only one sunlight rainbow seen on earth, each viewing of which is a viewing of millions of reflections of our one and only sun, under the unique and always identical conditions that make it appear as a rainbow.

ford_imperfect Posted Feb 18, 2005
The shape of the rainbow has Everything to do with the number of eyes observing, since each cone is essentially created by the eyes that are observing it.
Imagine, if you will, all the little photons (red-loking ones, through to Violet ones) streaming into your eye: if you close one eye, the rainbow is still there, if you close the other eye and reopen the first - Still There!
Logically, then, there must be a virtual cone for each eye <.
...../<-rainbow you can see

toxicblonde Posted Feb 21, 2005
and after all that, i still haven't a clue about the cones!
maybe my dad was right; i should've taken physics...
are the scientists stiff necked because they spend their lives looking up at rainbows? i don't think i'll be a scientist.
cone !?!
Recumbentman Posted Feb 21, 2005
What's the problem with the cones? The visible shape of the rainbow is the shape of the mirror: a "conical" selection of raindrops, selected by their position, namely where your sight lines meet the sun's rays at an angle of c.42 degrees. Sketch it on paper.
Not literally conical, as pointed out above, if you restrict the word to denoting a solid; but describing the surface of a cone, which I suggest is a properly meaningful use of the word "conical". In the same way people call a witch's hat conical, and everyone knows what they mean.
Now, do you see one rainbow, or two side by side? "Don't think, look!" as Wittgenstein A1024156 was fond of saying.
cone !?!
toxicblonde Posted Feb 22, 2005
no, i still don't understand.
i get what conical means, now you mention a witch's hat. my immediate reaction was to think about a conical flask, but am i right in thinking that that is less of a nice topic?
anyway, cones. come rainbows are single, some double and some tripple. Does that have anything to do with cones? are the droplets of water in the shape of a cone or the light or are my eyes the cones? i don't understand at all.
cone !?!
Recumbentman Posted Feb 23, 2005
All rainbows are double, though sometimes the outer(?) one is very faint. They may be triple; but I think the third ring is not in a visible direction.
The cones are emanating like witches' hats with their points in your eyes. The rainbow you see is a collection of millions of reflections of the sun.
The sun is reflected by every droplet in the cloud of mist in front of you. However you only see some of these reflections, those that come in at the critical angle. An angle measures the divergence between two lines; the lines in question are between sun and drop (one line) and drop and eye (the other line). I believe it is around 42 degrees for the principal rainbow.
Draw a rough sketch, it becomes perfectly clear on paper. The sun is behind you, you are looking away from the sun, the mist is in front of you. The sun's rays come in parallel lines (hitting your back) and are reflected back from the mist to enter your eyes. The reflections that you see appear to make up part of a circle; but these reflections are in fact coming from a selection of droplets that make up part of (the surface of) a cone.
cone !?!
toxicblonde Posted Feb 23, 2005
oh! all becomes clear! as clear as a rainbow in a cloudless sky!
cheers x

Recumbentman Posted Feb 24, 2005
Wow -- it's gratifying to a teacher (like me) to explain something to someone's satisfaction!
About "stiff-necked" -- it's my favourite word from the Old Testament.
See http://www.gracecathedral.org/enrichment/brush_excerpts/brush_20040609.shtml for a bit of dramatic action involving stiff-necked people.

Abbas urges Egypt to destroy underground tunnels
By KHALED ABU TOAMEH
08/11/2012 19:17
For first time, Palestinian Authority publicly calls for destruction of underground tunnels, asking Egypt to destroy those along its border with Gaza to tighten blockade.
Buoyed by growing tensions between Hamas and Cairo in wake of last week's terrorist attack in Sinai, the Palestinian Authority on Saturday called on the Egyptians to tighten the blockade on Gaza by destroying all tunnels under their border with the Strip.
The PA said the tunnels did not contribute to the economy in the Gaza Strip and were being used only by a small number of people for personal gain.
Egypt continues Sinai raids, arrests '6 terrorists'
'IDF entering Egypt to stop entry of asylum seekers'
This was the first time the PA has called publicly for the destruction of the tunnels.
The appeal came as PA officials continued to insist that some of the terrorists who killed 16 Egyptian border guards had come from the Gaza Strip.
The officials hope that tough Egyptian security measures in Sinai, including the destruction of the tunnels, will undermine Hamas's rule in Gaza and possibly bring about its collapse.
In the past few days, senior officials in Ramallah have been working hard to convince the Egyptians that Hamas and other radical groups in the Gaza Strip were linked – in one way or another – to last Sunday's attack.
The PA has also provided the Egyptian authorities with the names of several suspects from the Gaza Strip, a PA security source in Ramallah disclosed.
"We have good security ties with the Egyptians and we are trying to help them capture the terrorists," the source explained. "We have good reason to believe that terrorist groups from the Gaza Strip were involved in the attack.
These groups operate under the watchful eye of the Hamas government and sometimes even receive support from it."
The Sinai attack came at a time when PA leaders in the West Bank were beginning to express concern over improved relations between Cairo and Hamas in light of the election of Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsy as president.
Many Egyptians have held Hamas responsible for the attack, claiming the terrorists entered Sinai though tunnels that are under the strict supervision of the Hamas government.
Some Egyptians have urged their government to retaliate by destroying the tunnels and permanently closing the Rafah border crossing to Gaza.
"The Palestinian presidency renews its rejection and condemnation of the criminal act carried out by murderous fundamentalists in Sinai last week and affirms its full solidarity with Egypt," said Tayeb Abdel Raheem, a top aide to PA President Mahmoud Abbas.
"We also fully support all measures carried out by the Egyptian leadership and security forces against the radical and suspicious terrorist groups, including measures needed to close the smuggling tunnels that harm the interests and relations of Palestinian and Egyptians."
Abdel Raheem said the tunnels had for some time been posing a threat to Egypt's national security and the unity of the Palestinians.
Dismissing claims that the tunnels were being used to prevent a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, Abdel Raheem said they served only a small group of people – a reference to Hamas leaders.
"The tunnels have nothing to do with economic prosperity in the Gaza Strip," he stressed. "The Palestinian Authority allocates more than half its budget for the Gaza Strip."
Hamas strongly condemned the PA leadership for calling for the destruction of the tunnels and accused Abbas of "cheap opportunism."
Salah Bardaweel, a Hamas official in the Gaza Strip, denounced the call as "immoral and irresponsible."
