The Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship Informs and connects thought leaders looking to understand policies that help entrepreneurs start companies, create jobs and re-start the economy. Sign up to receive our weekly update!

Since its inception, Start-Up Chile has received a considerable amount of attention for its search for bootstrappers who receive equity-free seed capital of $40,000 and a 1-year work visa in the South American country. Recently it announced the opening of its seventh round of applications—looking to select, fund, and host up to 100 startups while giving them access to a global network for those determined to make their projects global.
A recent blog by Dan Isenberg from Babson College argues that there has been too much focus on startups around the world and that "infinitely more important is to embed scale-up." Of course, Dan has a point in that I frequently hear leaders outside the United States lament their lack of billion dollars firms, but I think we are far from the point when we can stop advocating for better support for new starts. Not only is most of the world still focused on size not age of firms—talking "SMEs"—but we still do not know enough about the science of startups and how to best support those that want to scale. As with kids—to play along with Isenberg's analogy—we have to help firms start better if they are to scale later in life and now is not the time to pull back the throttle on legitimizing founders and startups as a centrepiece of that economy policy.
As part of our ongoing discussion about the globalization of the startup movement, we look today at one nation's strategy that appears to be very effective. Present at the recently concluded Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Liverpool were the leaders of Start-Up Chile, an almost two-year old initiative that has rapidly gained traction around the world. However, while it carries a similar name to other national initiatives around the globe, it has a very different approach.
The Chilean economy has been recognized as the most competitive of
Latin America. In general, Chile has been characterized by political and
economic stability and relatively low levels of corruption and offers one of
the most advanced physical infrastructure systems in the region. The potential
and proven track record of this economy has led to Chile's recent
accession to the OECD as its 31st member and its first member in South
America. Not surprisingly, Chile is often a case study in economic development.
The question is whether its model will show the power of entrepreneurship as an
engine for prosperity?
The Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship brings to light various policies and initiatives to advance innovation and drive economic growth.

Woodside's mission is to deliver superior shareholder returns. We believe we can achieve our mission by being a global leader in upstream oil and gas. In support, our strategy comprises of three main elements:
We seek to maximise the value of our world-class core business through optimising our producing assets and flawlessly executing brownfield growth projects related to the existing core business. We will pursue the commercialisation of our existing undeveloped resources such as Browse and Sunrise, and other resource owner gas supply as an enhancement to existing business.
Woodside will leverage its capabilities through the expansion of its technological capability to include a broader range of upstream development opportunities. We will look at discovered/undeveloped oil and gas opportunities and develop and connect gas/products with market opportunities through infrastructure. Taken together, we believe proactively leveraging and building on our existing capabilities will deliver a broader opportunity set for Woodside.
We will grow our exploration portfolio through global basin studies and pursuing opportunities that play to our strengths in geosciences. Woodside aims to deliver value through a balanced portfolio - balanced globally and balanced in terms of hydrocarbon type.
Woodside has a strong track record of successful partnerships with many of the world's major oil and gas companies. Just as we recognise our own capabilities, we acknowledge that well chosen partners, especially those with local knowledge as we look globally, can add value to the joint venture/partnership equation.

Keep up with the news by installing RT's extension for . Never miss a story with this clean and simple app that delivers the latest headlines to you.
US president Barack Obama is repeating the pattern of actions of his predecessor, George W. Bush, in his push for a military solution in Syria, Foreign Affairs Committee chairman of the Russian Duma, Aleksey Pushkov said.
View full story
Bush and Obama are cut from the same cloth, and there is no difference between them at all. So, the risk of World War III becomes even greater as each day passes. Both wont take no for an answer, Bush attacked Iraq without and evidence. Obama will attack Syria the same way. There has never been any proof that Assad used chemical weapons on the insurgents and the al-Kaeda units among them, but John Kerry's MANTRA seems to be what will get us all in trouble.
And you dont know who did the chemical attack. I've not seen evidence so far, besides stupid anti Assad accusations by US politicians. Besides, as Assad says, it is not logic doing a chemical atack 2 days before UN inspection or as Assad is winning the war. I'm sure Assad didn't do that. May bet goes to stupid FSA soldiers who dropped the chemical weapons, or most likely, Mossad action, in order to lead the US into syria, so the hated independent Assad regime will disapear. It's all about Israel and Oil region domination.
You want proof about the rebels? It's very easy. Check al-nusra and you will find out. Actually the media does not mention Al-qaeda in Syria. It just campaigns against Assad, hiding the real US intentions in syria, as well as the terrorists the US is supporting. Al-nusra makes up for most FSA. They are mostly foreigners, supported by Qatar and Saudi arabia. They are sunni fundamentalists much more dangerous than Assad itself.
Shu t up, Joe, which of US's Arab allies have used chemical weapons in the last few years? And do you have ANY proof that most rebels in Syria are extremists, except what the media tells you?
US's Arab allies have nor, unlike the US itself. The US used Agent orange, white phouphorus and uranium ammo in Iraq, vastly contaminating the population, and some american troops as well. But i've never seen media refering it............
Obama is far worse.
Obama managed Nobel Peace Prize by crook action and showed his hunger to remain in news!
Haiti robbery was enough to show his hunger for oil and super profit for Corporates from whom he gets financed for his election!
Now to please Arms Dealer, he will attack Syria and death of few thousands human kind wont effect his peace!!
Russia needs to prevent America invading, and what would be better help then giving the Syrian forces some proper military equipment to fight with as well as more SM-300 missiles to put off invading forces
Let the United States to war. Russia will not fight. We will see how they are killing U.S. soldiers. In Russia many of their problems. If the U.S. starts to bomb Syria, I think it is not inevitably the terrorist attacks in the United States. In today's world can not hide behind the ocean.
Russia/China are correct that the evidence about Syrian chemical attack has yet to proven (remember Iraq MWD), the western powers need to support political dialogue and not bombs and missiles.
The west is not the worlds police force
It requires lots and lots of search, intelligence, capacity and rational analysis to be able to deeply understand what's really occurring on our planet!!! Primitive "humans" beings of the great universe!!! That's a real joke.
I have one serious statement to make which is based on historical, psychological and of course scientific fact with no single doubt, is that some specific "nations" among human races are just cursed and forever doomed and they don't really deserve to be part of this world. Sadly! It's an awful truth which we mustn't ignore at all. Think twice!
Third, stop lying to the American People. Fourth, empathy is not a weakness, fifth Stop running the Government like a business, business only cares about the bottom line. Not people' our government was made for the people not the Corporate Elite or the fat bankers. Sixth, Take care of your own people first, and then worry about the rest of the World. Seventh, last but not least get the money out of politics with serious campaign reform with an amendment to the Constitution. I haven't seen one of these qualities in any of our so-called representatives, excuse me 'Leaders'.
I personally worked to get Obama elected in2008, and in 2009 I realized I made a grave mistake, it has been downhill since with lie after lie, deception at the highest levels. I personally worked to get Obama elected in2008, and in 2009 I realized I made a grave mistake, it has been downhill since with lie after lie, deception at the highest levels. If this man is suppose to be a leader? First, admit when you are wrong. Second, show some accountability.
The current admin has NO ANSWER on the NSA, THE lack of career Jobs, Privatization of Public Utilities, Monsanto protection act, the NDAA, Trans Pacific trade agreement kept secret from the American people, the revolving door lobbyist, record Prosecution of the messenger instead of investigating the message of criminal activity, it goes on and on. We as well as the world were deceived when we elected this man, period!
What I do know, is that Obama is not in control, he is merely a figure head for the Multi National Corporate Elite, if Obama losses face, they lose face! And that can't happen, because they have too much invested in the Global Market. The current admin domestic policy is in failure.
The Majority of the American people are sick of all the Corruption in Politics and refuse to believe the latest Spin from the Project Manager and his Secretary about Syria that is obviously meant to take attention away from all the problems in our own country.
N ot sure what he has against Assad, the excuse of a dictatorship is useless just look at all the monarchies to the east and america even supports Qatar which is a Dictatorship/ Monarchy.
Shut up, Joe, which of US's Arab allies have used chemical weapons in the last few years? And do you have ANY proof that most rebels in Syria are extremists, except what the media tells you?

The state attorney general is launching a probe into two luxury department stores in Manhattan over racial profiling claims.
Eric Schneiderman's office sent letters to the CEOs of Macy's and Barney's asking for information related to their policies of stopping, detaining and questioning shoppers.
The letters follow lawsuits filed by two customers.
Barney's CEO Mark Lee joined the Rev. Al Sharpton and other leaders at a press conference Tuesday at the National Action Network.
Lee apologized to both customers.
One is 19-year-old Trayvon Christian. The other is 21-year-old Kayla Philips.
In both cases, Barney's allegedly told the shoppers that their credit cards were fake and detained them for questioning.
"Our preliminary investigation has concluded that in both of these instances, no one from Barney's New York raised any issue with these purchases, no one from Barney's brought them to the attention of our internal security, and no one from Barney's reached out to external authorities," Lee said.
Two similar cases were reported by customers at Macy's.
In letter sent to both companies, the attorney general's office says, in part, that the alleged repeated behavior by employees raises troubling questions.

Believed to be the Oldest Cold Case Brought to Trial in U.S. History
Sycamore, IL – Illinois State Police Director Hiram Grau commended the outstanding investigative efforts by ISP Zone 1 investigators and special agents in the 55 year cold case murder of 7 year old Maria Ridulph of Sycamore, Illinois.
Ridulph was kidnapped and murdered in 1957, and on September 14, 2012, Kane County Associate Judge James Hallock found Jack McCullough, 72, guilty of murder, kidnapping and abduction of an infant.
A deathbed confession by McCullough's mother in 1994, was passed on to Illinois State Police Zone 1 by McCullough's half-sister in 2008. Captain Tony Rapaz took the initial call that launched the ISP cold case murder investigation. "Every tip to law enforcement officers is taken seriously because you never know where the evidence may lead to," said ISP Captain Tony Rapaz. "Within 2 weeks of receiving this peculiar phone call, an investigation was immediately launched," he said.
Rapaz enlisted the resources of ISP Zone 1 investigators - Special Agent Brion Hanley, Sr. Special Agent Todd Damasky and Sr. Criminal Intelligence Supervisor, Larry Kot. The lead investigator, Special Agent Brion Hanley, recalls the case as being extraordinarily complicated with both families having to relive painful grief and horrible memories. "Without the cooperation of the families in their pursuit of justice and closure, our work as law enforcement would not be possible," said ISP Special Agent Brion Hanley. "Their memories and solid, positive identification of photos, times and locations, were just as powerful as the investigative leads that solved the case."
"These investigators did an extraordinary job in developing a timeline with powerful statements from family members and community residents that presented the facts that eventually helped convict a murderer," said ISP Director Hiram Grau. "Since 2008, they have tirelessly applied their investigative skills to this cold case by using good old fashioned police work," he added.
Grau also underscored the importance of teamwork by DeKalb State's Attorney Clay Campbell and his team of prosecutors, Seattle Police, and the Ridulph and Tessier family members in seeking justice and closure.

DOTHAN, AL, November 14, 2012 — I want to personally thank the Democrats for having the best scandals and keeping the news interesting. Over time they have proven to be a fairly lusty bunch, and following their affairs is considerably more fun than following Republicans with their boring misconduct in the financial world. As any fan of soap operas can tell you, sex sells more air time than complicated bank scams. Plus, it's something everyone can understand and relate to on some level.
Men will absolutely deny it, but whenever a sex scandal breaks out the first thing they do is check out pictures of the woman involved and start talking with each other about whether she was worth it or not. The regulars at my favorite corner establishment regard Ernie the bartender as quite the expert on women, despite his salami breath, hairy back and being divorced three times.
He rated Paula Broadwell as "strictly eh" and the patrons at the bar were mostly in agreement. There was also a lot of chatter about what Mrs. Petraeus would probably do to the General, which seemed to remind a lot of the guys that they needed to be home early that evening.
I remember being told, many years ago, that if a married man decides to have an affair with another woman then he needs to make very sure she is a lot better that what he already has. As silly or sexist as that may sound, that little bit of advice also serves as a pretty good barometer of just how stupid my gender can be.
Gen. Petraeus is 60 years old. Any single, unmarried man that age knows the best reason to pursue a woman is because she is a world class cook, a geriatrics nurse or at least someone who won't kick you to the couch for snoring. Married men, including the General, don't seem to get it.
Also, since Petraeus hasn't yet figured any of that out, he is obviously not qualified to head a federal agency that creates, holds and covers up America's top secrets. His boss obviously failed to explain that "handling foreign affairs" did not mean "go have one." Who mentored Petraeus for the CIA job anyway, Bill Clinton? Of course the most obvious danger from any top official having an extramarital affair is the potential for leaking state secrets, something that is handled directly by the White House these days.
Now it comes out that the current top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, may have had questionable email conversations with a military groupie in Tampa who organizes social functions for senior staffers. "Questionable" is polite media speak for "dirty."
To make this even more interesting, Gen. Allen was just nominated by President Obama to be the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, with confirmation hearings still to come, and I suppose the Republicans will pounce on him with ravenous, tooth-flashing hunger like a zombie horde in The Walking Dead.
Afghanistan seems to present a real staffing problem for our commander in chief. He fired Gen. McKiernan in 2009 for wanting to use strategy, he fired Gen. McChrystal in 2010 for sarcasm, Gen. Petraeus just resigned from scandal and then an FBI investigation involved Gen. Allen as well. To make it even worse, those recalcitrant FBI agents wouldn't tell the president about any of it until after the election. You just can't find good help these days.
Some of the media coverage of Gen. Petraeus has speculated on why great men are often prone to having extramarital affairs. I would politely suggest that if they had affairs they probably weren't really all that great, at least on a personal level. Even the "new normal" crowd tends to take a dim view of betraying one's spouse, regardless of gender, race or species, except possibly in the case of former President Clinton who seems more adored than ever. Despite what the media analyses may suggest, it's not a complex issue at all. The simple reason why men, great or otherwise, have affairs is "sex." Duh.
After a long, miserable election we might finally have something the whole nation can re-unite over — the fall from grace of yet another man who reached a lofty position of power and forgot why he was put there in the first place.
Americans from both red and blue states love success stories, but we also love stories about leaders and celebrities who mess up. Petraeus fits the profile and I foresee books and television movies coming out of all this, just the thing to spice up an otherwise dull TV schedule during the cold winter months.
It doesn't seem that Petraeus or Broadwell leaked any important secrets, so the biggest victim in all this is the general's wife. Besides caring for Petraeus and raising his children, Holly Petraeus is well known for helping military families struggling with banking problems and mortgage foreclosures. She is intelligent, well-educated and seems to have some spare time on her hands in case the president is looking for a replacement to head the CIA. I have yet to meet any woman who raised kids who couldn't readily handle a bunch of devious spies and sneaky politicians.
If we are going to insist on fewer moral and ethical restrictions as the "new normal" for the rest of society, then it's about time we all stop acting so shocked when those in the public eye are caught in a sex scandal – though admittedly it does make for great drama and I'm keeping my DVR set to "record."

With the release of the Start 60 Europe, TomTom now lays claim to 13 different sat navs under four categories in car navigation alone.
That's a lot of GPS-powered devices, and with such a breadth of offerings from one manufacturer, the TomTom Start 60 Europe needs to offer something special in order to set itself apart from its brethren, let alone from the rest of the market.
The good news, on paper at least, is that the TomTom Start 60 Europe can be seen as the current pinnacle of sat nav devices for most drivers. It draws on the best bits of TomToms and other sat navs and throws them all into a bigger screen, while keeping the price tag at a reasonable level. There are no hidden subscription charges here, either.
The main selling point for the TomTom Start 60 is the screen - the 6-inch diagonal display makes a notable departure from the standard TomTom fare, which tend to measure 5 inches across for the more recent models, or 4.3 inches for older ones.
The display used by the TomTom Start 60 Europe is a 16:9 widescreen offering, measuring 132mm across by 80mm high. It isn't as big as the Navman Panoramic, which is a whole inch bigger, but in real terms you'd be hard pushed to notice the difference.
This extra screen space has enabled TomTom to up the resolution over previous models to a healthy 800 x 480 pixel display. This produces clearer text and images, and gives more room to display the information that is most useful.
The result is a sat nav that gives a clear indication of what you need to do on any given stretch of road, provides plenty of information on your journey and yet manages to stay uncluttered.
It is of course a touchscreen device, and while resistive screens wouldn't be seen dead on a decent tablet or smartphone, when it comes to sat navs they're fine - and this is one of the better ones we've used. Interacting with the screen doesn't require much force, but you won't be making accidental changes, either.

Apart from the larger screen, the other physical feature TomTom is keen to promote is the mounting system. The TomTom Smart 60 Europe can be mounted on your windscreen or, thanks to an included adhesive disc, on your dashboard (if you've got a flat enough surface). The screen automatically flips to whichever way up the device is held, so there's no worries about having to get it the right way around.
The windscreen mounting system is the same as that found on the TomTom Go Live Top Gear Edition, which we found to be brilliant for that unit, but we're a little less convinced here.
The sheer size of the TomTom Start 60 Europe means that accessing the USB connector and the power button at the back of the sat nav is incredibly tricky when it's in place on the windscreen, since these are either side of the mounting system. It would be better if TomTom could mount these on the opposite side of the unit.
The suction cup system sticks well though, and if you have a big enough stretch of flat dashboard in your car, the alternative to attaching it to your windscreen is an interesting one and can give you more options for unobtrusive locating. We did find the arm on the Navman Panoramic a little more versatile, but it's not as compact.
The TomTom Start 60 Europe is attractive and convincingly robust in its styling, with a pleasing curve to the rear of the unit to keep the edges thin. We weren't sure that the standard 5-inch TomTom design would transfer to a large screen so easily, but as a whole the unit feels and looks great.
TomTom has a good reputation for its maps and software interfaces, and the Start 60 Europe makes for a great companion for any journey. Picking your destination, looking for points of interest, highlighting fuel stops and deciding whether you want the fastest or the most economical route are all handled logically and clearly.
When it comes to the maps, the clarity of the display and the accuracy of the maps mean that you can spot potential hazards and tight bends much easier than with previous sat navs we've looked at. Our driving style genuinely changed because of this, and since the display is so large, a quick glance is all it takes to see what's coming up.
Voice navigation is still important to any sat nav, of course, and here TomTom continues to set the bar. The default voice, Serena, is clear and precise, and while the more obscure B-roads can be a bit of a mouthful it doesn't break down into gibberish even with some of the odder place names. There are nearly 90 voices installed by default too, covering a range of languages, giving you plenty of choice when out and about.

Ko Muk
Travel Guide
The island of Ko Muk (also spelt Ko Mook and Ko Muuk) sits relatively close to the mainland between Ko Kradan and Ko Ngai. A quintessential white sand and turquoise water getaway it is not, but it is a good place to get a feel for Thai island village life, and there are some decent beaches and worthwhile daytrips on and around the island.
The island's largest beach, Ao Kham, stretches to the pier's east side before turning sharply to the south at Ko Muk's finest stretch of white sand, known as "The Wing". A traditional Thai beach village lies to the west of the pier, complete with rickety homes built on stilts over the water. It's not the cleanest spot, but a walk through the beach village provides a unique peek into a laidback island lifestlyle. Continuing to the east along the beach just past a couple lacklustre resorts lies Sabai Beach, which even in high season is often deserted.
While there is one good budget accommodation option near Ao Kham Beach, the majority of tourists head straight across the island's only road to Haad Farang (Foreigner Beach), which boasts the island's most popular bungalows. It's not the most serene beach we've seen, but Haad Farang is perfectly conducive to a day or two of lounging. With plenty of karst cliffs nearby it's also a good spot for launching a kayak, and because it sits on the west side of the island it sees spectacular sunsets over Ko Kradan and the Andaman Sea.
For activities, the island's top draw is the famed Emerald Cave, a somewhat captivating quirk of nature. A sinkhole rather than a cave, the Emerald Cave (we assume that sounded better than Emerald Sinkhole) was formed when the roof of a partly underwater cave collapsed, allowing light to flood in and jungle to develop. It's reached by swimming through an access tunnel that becomes submerged at high tide, so if not visiting with a guide it's vital to ask the locals about the right time to go. Even at low tide, the tunnel is often full of fish and it can be a bit of a freaky experience.
People have been known to react badly -– that is, totally freak out -- while trying to get into, or out of, the cave/sinkhole. If you are the claustrophobic type, or just happen to find the idea of swimming through a tunnel full of fish kind of revolting, then we'd suggest passing on this attraction. Also note that while the travel posters hint that the cave will be deserted, it very rarely actually is and it's not unusual to see boats waiting in queue to herd people through, especially during high season.
Many travellers take day trips from Ko Muk to Ko Kradan for the better beach and snorkelling, and there is also some good hiking along Ko Muk's northern rocky coast.
The island now has 24-hour, year-round electricity and there is a small health centre along the road not far from the pier, but there is no ATM on Ko Muk so make sure to pack enough cash for your stay.

Way Better Value than Kradan or Ngai
I got back to Muk in early March 2013 for my 4th visit since the late 90s.
Having stayed on neighbouring Ngai and Kradan a few months before I have to say Muk is a place your baht goes further.
Accommodation is cheaper - my seafront SAWADEE bungalow at 800 blew anything on the other islands into the water (actually I haven't seen a seafront bungalow in the central and south Andaman under 1000 high season for several years). Okay, it was suffering a bit of wear and tear and the sea views weren't of the beach but the rocks and sea over to Kradan but the joint was comfy, roomy enough, had a bathroom and the associated restaurant had great food at genuine budget bungalow prices, something you can't say for neighbouring islands (Kradan's PARADISE LOST has even better food but prices can't compare).
Fact is, there is a good range of eats joints on Farang Beach and they seem to be in intense competition taste and price wise. I had meal at MAYOW RESTAURANT AND BAR which travelfish recommends - yep, excellent and good value, so much so this place had late-comers unable to get a table. A friend told me HILLTOP Restaurant and Bar about 10 minutes walk up the cross-island track had the cheapest food around and excellent - so I walked up for a meal. Yep. RUBBER TREE resort also has a good rep - didn't make it but I did check the prices, seemed competitive. HAD FARANG RESORT has an equal rep - I stayed here several years back and if the food is still up to that standard at those bargain prices this is another good one.
All you accommodation bargain seekers should maybe look at a new place which has taken over Mookies tents and bungalows. TING TONG has a new restaurant on the cross-island track about 5 minutes' walk in from Farang Beach - the old Mookies Bar is behind it. Tents and bungalows were both 300batht - the latter has to be the cheapest in the Andaman high season (okay maybe a few places in the north Andaman and upstairs in places like Phuket, Khao Lak and Lanta can match this. Maybe not). Admittedly the bungalows have to share outside bathrooms with the tents. But 300 high season in 2013!
Btw according to Ting Tong people, the Euros running Mookies had gone home, were due back for a visit soon but were not likely to fire up Mookies again.
So what about night-life? Well Sawadee's associated Chill Out Divers' had a laid back CHILL OUT BAR with the usual mats and candles on the beach, KO YOO Bar and Restaurant is still running on the southern headland of Farang with its surprisingly panoramic views for a place not all that high and Mayow was advertising live music. But we aint talking Patong, Had Rin or Ton Sai Phi Phi on this island, trend setters.
The rest of the island? Well the eastern spit looked as gorgeous as ever and would be a great location if you can afford to stay at the SIVALAI. Most of us can't - it's a 25 minute walk from Farang Beach ( the beach in front of the Sivalai aint private no-matter what they may tell you: all Thai beaches are owned by the king for the free use of his subjects and visitors), but less from the two lower midrangers further west on the spit, NATURE BEACH and PAWAPI. The beach in front of these places is okay but not gorgeous and the water does get real shallow low tide.
The spit is south of the village's main pier - close on the north side you have 2 budget resorts COCO LODGE and ANDA which seem more geared to domestic travel and have a beach opposite which aint all that attractive (Anda had a new to me seafront bar which does have attractive views across to the rugged mainland coast - and had some tents farangs were using which is good news for the bottom budget traveller).
Another 5 minutes north are 2 other resorts, budget GARDEN RESORT and KO MUK RESORT. I stayed at the latter in the 90s but it has moved upmarket considerably - has a very nice new pool, upgraded chalets and reception/restaurant area - the latter with similar great views to the mainland. But note - the bay here gets big expanses of dirty sand and rock at lowest tide. The Sivalai spit is 15 minutes walk, Farang Beach 40. The place does have cheap motorcycle hire.
Okay, other comparisons with Ngai and Kradan:
Better culture - Muk had quite an extensive village area, the others none.
Snorkelling - inferior. Kradan's southern reef wins here, with Nagi next.
Nature - Ngai and Kradan have good rainforest walks - the rainforest is a bit hard to access on Muk. But nothing can compare with Muk's Emerald Cave.
Access - all are easily accessed in high season from the north and south by Tigerline and speedboats/day trip boats. But Muk is way easier and cheaper to access from the mainland. The difference is even greater in low season when Kradan and Ngai are not easy to access. Muk has a public ferry going to the eastern pier with songthaew pickup in Trang every day. In high season there are additional van/longtail shuttles direct to Farang beach.

|At Lumicrest we know that lighting for art galleries and museums is one
of the most challenging applications imaginable for LED lights.
Lumicrest was founded by an artist - with technical know-how. We have a passion for art and a passion for light.
Mastering The Art and Science of LED Lighting
Not only do our lights need to operate flawlessly for many hours every day, accuracy of color rendering, beam spread, and appropriate light intensity are all critical factors to successfully illuminating priceless works and antiquities.
Our high quality LED products are up to the task.
|Lumicrest Apturi LED lighting at Kinsman Robinson Galleries, Toronto
View longer interview with John Newman here
Read Customer Story case study (pdf)
For museums and galleries, one of the most compelling benefits of LEDs lighting - beyond the enormous energy cost savings - is mitigation of damaging UltraViolet (UV) light emissions. LEDs reduce concern of deterioration from ultraviolet (UV) rays, because they have virtually no emission in the UV spectrum. LED lights also emit much less infrared (heat) than incandescent/halogen lamps, also eliminating risk of damage from a rise in temperature.

"I suspect it would be like most cartoons. You know, we'd start to go nuts after a while and I would look at Homestar and he would look like a big steak. And then Homestar would look at me and I'd look like, you know, some kinda brownie sundae. So we'd chase each other around the island, trying to eat each other. And at some point, my foot would look like a sandwich, and I would put salt on it and try to eat it, and it's like 'Oh, it's my foot!'"A character has been suffering from hunger for days or weeks, and begins to hallucinate. Is that a delicious steak dinner, a giant hot dog, or a large roast fowl sitting right next to him? No, it's one of their friends, who is now staring back at him oddly, wondering "Why are you looking at me like that?" This most often occurs with shipwreck survivors or castaways (especially if stranded on a "Far Side" Island), but it can occur in less dire situations too, such as fasting or dieting. Note that the particular hallucinations are always some manner of Food Porn; never has a castaway visualized their shipmates as, say, ground Tofu paste or Brussels sprouts. If said character goes through with it, it transitions to No Party Like a Donner Party. Not to be confused with Meat Vision. Compare Vein-O-Vision and Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere. See also Delicious Distraction and Obsessed with Food. Horror Hunger can have vampires, werewolves and other monsters looking at humans like this should they go without for too long.

Ultra Wide Victorian Silver Cuff Bracelet
The Aesthetic Movement from the late Victorian period can be regarded as the "avant-garde" of the time. Seen as a reaction against the prevailing Victorian style of ornate, traditional and "very English", the Aesthetic style was simple, new and decidedly influenced by Japanese design. The underlying moral and sentimental themes that so dominated this era were supplanted by refined sensuous delight and a cult virtually dedicated to beauty.
This ultra wide sterling silver cuff bracelet shows a keen sense of whimsy with its Japanese influenced scene. All hand engraved, the front of the cuff has an imaginative, almost dream-like display of a stark water scene with a solitary bamboo stalk as background and a fluttering swallow in the foreground. The image is placed within a quatrefoil cartouche appointed with a double twisted rope design along the edges. A hand engraved foliate and leaf backdrop fills out the front. The back of the hinged cuff is smooth and polished and finished with a tongue and groove clasp.
Date: 1911.
Measurements: 1-3/4 inches (4.5 cm) in width and will fit most wrists up to 7-1/2 inches or less. Weight of 49.4 grams (31.7 dwt).
Hallmarks: Full set of English hallmarks for Birmingham, silver and year letter M for 1911; maker's mark K Ltd and Vic or Vir mark.
Condition: Excellent.
Origin: English.
