It's been three years since Aaron Mackie succeeded in helping his friend and mentor, Bishop T.K. Wilson, dig his ministry out of financial ruin. Aaron is also responsible for re-energizing the almost defunct choir into something special. His success has drawn national attention, and he's on the verge of signing a huge recording contract. With his life in order, Aaron decides the time is right to propose to Tia Gregory, the church secretary who caught his eye and inspired him to shed his Tiger Woods-like tendencies to become a one-woman man. The stage is set for what might be the wedding of the year, but quickly becomes the disaster of the year when Aaron is left at the altar without explanation. Now, during his own hour of need, Aaron turns to the bishop for help. Unfortunately, the line he asks T. K. to cross will force the bishop to choose between faith and friendship, or as he puts it, "between heaven and hell." As the investigation into Tia's disappearance continues, the two men are challenged in ways they never imagined.

March 23, 2015
Toussaint, Maggie.
401 pages (large print) ; 23 cm.
While planting a cherry tree, landscaper Baxley Powell discovers a human skull buried in the sand. After calling the sheriff, Baxley uses her dreamwalking abilities to get a jump-start on identifying the victim. Then deputies arrive, and, believing she's tampering with evidence, taser her. Emotions flare, but the sheriff agrees to hire her as a consultant. With a daughter to support and bills she can't pay, Baxley is motivated to succeed. Things get dicey when she unearths a murder victim on the same jobsite, planting Baxley in the suspect pool. For calling unwanted attention to her private retreat, Baxley's landscaping client fires her, stiffing her for the plants and labor. Meanwhile, her father retires as county dreamwalker, passing the community service responsibility along to her. Baxley's dreamwalking sideline competes for her time with her day jobs of landscaping and pet-sitting. Folks show up on her doorstep at all hours to pass messages to the departed. Though her money problems persist, food randomly appears at her door, and her hair develops a telltale white streak in the forelock overnight. Just what every young woman wants, a permanent bad hair day. Threats to her safety mount as Baxley delves into the victim's life--in both worlds. With a killer dogging her heels and spirits nipping at her mind, Baxley follows her dreams to find the truth.
All my belongings
March 23, 2015
Ruchti, Cynthia.
469 pages (large print) ; 23 cm.
A new identity can't protect Becca from a past that refuses to go away. Where do you turn when changing your name doesn't give you the anonymity you want? When running hundreds of miles away isn't far enough? When your search for a place to belong lands you right back where you began? One phone call destroys all the hope Becca Morrow has for a life beyond the shame of her past. Further discredited by the death of her elderly, ailing patient—the mother of the influential businessman, Isaac Hughes—Becca's new life is shattered and her longing for love slips away. Working to clear her name, Becca must learn to see the beauty in the ugliness of dying, to accept the tenderness in forgiveness, and—at last—discover that where she belongs isn't as much about her family history as it is about her faith in the One to whom she'll always belong.

Including her ex-boyfriend, and the only man she's ever allowed herself to love, Owen MacGregor. Owen is still devastatingly handsome, and the passion between them hasn't faded with time. Unfortunately, neither have the issues that drove them apart. But that doesn't mean Meg is ready to turn him into the perfect man for someone else! Because despite their past, Meg suspects that Owen is still the one.

Ghana will soon announce whether China oil company CNOOC or oil giant Exxon Mobil won the bidding war for rights to tap its offshore oil. The answer will show how great a player China has become in Africa.
In Asia, pale skin is prized. Bronzed skin is associated with low-class field work under the searing sun.
China mudslides blocked roads and bridges on Sunday, leaving rescuers today to dig with shovels and their bare hands, occasionally finding survivors. Authorities expect the official death toll of 127 to rise.
Despite fresh UN sanctions on Iran, China beefs up trade and investment. Does it know something the US doesn't about Israel's intentions to stop Iran's nuclear program?
The latest Chinese kindergarten murders have prompted more discussion on government response within China, which has traditionally avoided confronting mental health issues.
North Korea warned of a 'powerful physical retaliation' if South Korea goes through with naval drills in the Yellow Sea this week. The real concern is over how China will respond.
A China flood, oil spill, and chemical factory explosion highlighted the country's improved crisis response. But China still faces challenges as it tries to strike a balance between economic growth and protecting the environment.
North Korea was sent a clear message from the United States over the past four days of joint war games with South Korea, whose commanders were buoyed by the massive display of American support.
More than 23 tons of oil-eating bacteria have been sent to clean up the China oil spill in the Yellow Sea. It should work better than the chopsticks workers initially used, but it's still no miracle solution.
Despite the breakneck speed at which the country surpassed the United States as the world's biggest energy consumer, International Energy Agency chief economist Fatih Birol says China energy use can be slowed.
China officially doubled the size of the oil spill caused by an explosion last week at the port city of Dalian. The China oil spill is now 165 square miles, but still just a fraction of the size of the BP oil spill in Gulf.
China passed the United States as the world's No. 1 energy consumer. China denies it. But followers of China energy use are not surprised by the International Energy Agency's announcement.
China UFO sightings continued Thursday in the eastern part of the country. Last week, Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou closed for two hours when an unidentified object hovered over the skies.
The sinking of a naval ship in March called into question the longtime 'Sunshine Policy.' But could dire health care problems and new UN talks help ease North Korea's isolated stance in time for six-party-talks?
'Beat It' video of China's People's Liberation Army groovin' to a Michael Jackson song goes viral. Will officials 'harmonize' the tribute?
To show North Korea their strength after it sank the Cheonan warship, the US and South Korea today announced a joint antisubmarine drill. China has objected, citing security concerns.
China's tourism to Taiwan, once banned, is now growing fast as bilateral ties improve. But with the influx of visitors comes a culture clash.
With the heat wave in China have come unusual tidings: cars spontaneously bursting into flame, a plague of locusts, a boost for workers' rights.
Chinese activist-lawyer Ni Yulan, who helped Beijingers defend their homes from demolition, has been jailed, beaten, and disbarred, and her own home was bulldozed by authorities. Recently released from prison, she is being helped by hundreds of supporters.
Wei Di, new head of the Chinese Football Association, admits he faces a tough task in qualifying his country for the World Cup. For a country that claims to have invented the game of soccer more than 2,000 years ago, this is rather embarrassing.
In China, dozens of migrant workers who protested to city officials over a job-related illness won compensation. Labor-rights success stories, while rare, are growing more frequent.
The license for Google's China website expires at midnight, but as the workday ended it had not been renewed. The US firm antagonized Beijing this year by refusing to censor its search results.
The latest China-Taiwan trade deal, signed Tuesday, avoided discussing sensitive political relations but signaled much closer cooperation between the longtime rivals.
Foreign firms doing business in China say laws discriminate against them, an EU Chamber of Commerce Report said Tuesday, echoing complaints from other international competitors.
Beijing unpegged the Chinese yuan from the dollar last weekend, leading to a half-point rise against the US currency this week. The value of China's currency has been a highly contentious issue with trade partners.

In 2002, the zeitgeist orchestrator David Bowie opined, "Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity." A few years later, in 2005, the futurists Gerd Leonhard and Dave Kusek proposed "music as water" in their industry-shaking book, The Future of Music (A Manifesto for the Digital Music Revolution).
The metaphor was simple — music would flow on demand, like a utility, to people's home hi-fis and portable music players. Subscription access to "all" music was the approach that ultimately ended up with no more ownership of physical or even digital copies; CDs, mp3s, and the other ground-bound trinkets would no longer be necessary. Even in my own behavior, I see this change — where once I'd spend time ripping my CDs and loading up my 160GB iPod, now I simply curate music, like my Boxing playlist, in the cloud via Spotify.
Eleven years later, Bowie's prediction is coming true and streaming is progressing at speed. In metropolitan Argentina 1 in 3 consumers are listening to streaming music - evenly split between mobile and computers (desktop, laptop, tablet). In France 15% of those we surveyed streamed on a computer but a whopping 27% used mobile. In fact this trend to streaming via mobile is likely to be one that will continue worldwide and today in metropolitan regions of Hong Kong and Mexico, as well as South Korea mobile has already considerably overtaken computers as the preferred listening method.

In anticipation of our upcoming 2013 Forrester Groundswell awards, I have been reminiscing about our past winners. One of the great benefits of participating in Forrester's Groundswell Awards is that analysts often use the winners' (and finalists') submissions as examples of best practices. Personally, I have included our Groundswell Awards winners and finalists in event presentations, client advisories, and consulting projects. These winners have inspired many marketers who continuously seek innovative ways to incorporate social media in their marketing strategies.
One winner that I have referred to frequently — and is a personal favorite of mine — is L'Oreal. L'Oreal won a B2B Groundswell Award in 2011 for its National Salon Facebook program. Using the Buddy Media social relationship platform, L'Oreal provided its ecosystem of thousands of salon partners with tools that helped them easily enhance their business Facebook pages with branded content, how-to-videos, and appointment-scheduling applications. I have many reasons for favoriting L'Oreal's program, but my top three are:

Facebook now has 819 million mobile monthly active users. That's a huge audience. That's actually 71% of total active users.
Yesterday, Facebook reported they generated 41% of total ad revenues via mobile. That's pretty impressive considering they generated nearly 0% end 2011 when they had already 432 million mobile monthly users. Since the launch of mobile ads in 2012, Facebook steadily increased the share of mobile in total ad revenues: it was 23% end 2012 and 30% in Q1 2013.
There is still a monetization gap in comparison to the share of their mobile audience, but that's definitely impressive for a new product.
There are a couple of reasons for this sharp increase. Time spent on Facebook is meaningful. Facebook's mobile ads integrate well in the natural flow of Facebook's news feeds. They are quite visible and are increasingly successful at driving mobile app installs. According to our European Technographics Consumer Technology Online Survey, Q4 2012, 16% of online adult smartphone owners (ages 16-plus) who use apps report that they first learned about an app via social networking websites such as Facebook. No wonder why the likes of Fiksu and other app boosters spent a lot of money on Facebook mobile ads. Cost per click increased despite a lot more clicks and ads shown.
For this approach to be successful in the longer term, there are a couple of key questions to be answered:

For B2B marketers, June 30th can have a 'last day of school' feel about it. It's a chance to catch our breath after a full slate of Q1's kick-offs and launches and Q2's promotions, tradeshows and roadshows. But, like today's kids, who no longer while away the summer playing in the woods or frolicking in the pool, today's B2B marketers need to use the summer to improve: to build new skills, expand our horizons, and prepare for the new adventures that await us in the fall. Think of it as Marketing Summer Camp.
If I were the Activities Director at Camp B2B, I'd build a program of reflection, assessment, and improvement with a focus on::
People: Make learning a priority.
Pipeline: Take a hard look at marketing's contribution to the revenue pipeline.
Process: Identify your conversion weak spots and remediate.

According to Digiday, current affairs website Slate demands minimum $100,000 from brands to build an "advertising content program". Forbes asks for $50,000 a month to give brands a platform for publishing content on their site. And many companies are spending as much or more on their own content sites.
Given the mighty spend, the silence around the economics of content is deafening. There's the high-level question of content marketing ROI–a topic larger than any blog post. But, at a more basic level, how many marketers plan how and where their content drives business value?
Call this the content impact model:
If marketers create and distribute content to generate value, there are two simultaneous and non-exclusive paths by which value is created:
1. Intrinsic: Consumption of the content itself brings value to the brand, by making the reader/viewer aware of the brand, its expertise or products.
2. Extrinsic: All of the value that can be extracted by a reader/viewer arriving at or opening the content (but not the content itself).
This post looks specifically at extrinsic value. This value is created or released by mechanisms that I'll call catalysts of content marketing value.

If you still consider online video advertising merely as a complement to TV advertising in China, then you are wrong. My latest report "Marketers Embrace The Power Of Digital Video In China" tells you why.
In this report, based on the analysis of Chinese online consumers' video consumption behavior and marketers' spending intention, we conclude that online video is becoming mainstream to both Chinese consumers and marketers.

You can no longer segment your business customers into those who use social media for business purposes and those who do not. Why not? Because according to Forrester's newest B2B Social Technographics® numbers, fully 100% of business decision-makers use social media for work purposes. Other stunningly high numbers: 98% of business decision-makers are Spectators (they read blogs, watch videos, or listen to podcasts), 79% are Joiners (they maintain a profile on social networking sites), and 75% are Critics (they comment on blogs and post ratings and reviews), all in the context of their business activities.
Therefore, it's no longer a question of whether you should use social, but how. B2B marketing executives no longer need convincing to invest in social. However, social marketing efforts are maturing beyond experimentation — where measuring results is secondary — to science. At this more advanced stage of maturity, marketers need to understand exactly how and when their customers are using social and target them differently in each stage of the customer life cycle.
Your customers don't make blanket use of "social media," "social networks," or "communities" in general. Instead, they use specific social networks and communities for specific goals, both personal and business-related. The communities your customers visit for personal reasons are not always the ones they use for business purposes.
For business purposes, the No. 1 and No. 2 communities aren't specific public social networks but "niche" communities focused on specific objectives. For example, business technology buyers might visit IT Central Station or Spiceworks to learn more about multiple competing technologies at once; alternatively, they might visit a community managed by a single brand, such as the Cisco Communities or SAP Community Network (SCN).

[UPDATE, Sepember 2013: Entries for the 2013 Forrester Groundswell Awards are now closed. More than 100 companies entered more than 130 social programs this year, and we're looking forward to reviewing them and recognizing the best at our 2013 eBusiness Forum on November 5.]
We recently announced that we are accepting applications for the 2013 Forrester Groundswell Awards! This program recognizes companies that have best used social media to advance an organizational or business goal. As we gear up for this year's awards, we can't help but reminisce about those past winners that blew us away. Sarah Takvorian, the super Research Associate who helps out with our social marketing coverage, shares one of her favorites from the 2012 awards:
We received more than 100 award entries in 2012, but the B2C Talking category winner was my favorite. Glidden's "My Colortopia" social hub engaged the paint brand's target audience and guided them toward the right colors and styles by providing expert advice and personalized inspiration.

We've begun accepting nominations for our 2013 Forrester Groundswell Awards, the seventh year we've recognized top social marketing efforts. We use these awards as best-practice examples in our research and presentations, and I wanted to look back and highlight one of my favorite winners from 2012.
Premier Farnell — an electronics components supplier with $1.4B in 2012 revenue that also operates as Newark in the United States — has a goal to sell to a broader range of design engineers by offering them resources throughout its projects. To do this, the company built a community called element14, which offers resources about all types of electronic design topics and — crucially — does not focus just on products that Premier Farnell supplies. The community has about 120,000 members, and 5% to 7% of them click through from the community to the transactional portion of Premier Farnell's site each day as fully qualified leads. Premier Farnell shows that large corporations can generate substantial new business by offering potential customers vendor-agnostic reasons to visit a new community.
The community also generates new content for the rest of the company's marketing, as 45 experts create a series of new content in the community which provides another reason for customers to return; in fact, a third of the community members return every week.

Since the day the very first banner ad appeared nineteen years ago, advertisers and publishers have defined a served impression in a multiplicity of ways. Today, advertisers have little confidence that what they are buying is what they are getting, a factor that is contributing to the downward pressure on CPMs for display ads.
The Viewability initiative, slated to take effect formally in 2014, is the industry's first step toward remedying the uncertainty about actual served impressions. It establishes a base line definition of what a viewable impression is and basic rules of engagement for the display ad industry, both of which I think are critical to its long-term viability.
It seems to me that agreement and implementation of a viewability standard starts the industry down the path of greater appreciation for content, context and the important work that publishers do. This is why I chose it as the topic for my first report: "Viewability Brings Transparency To The Display Ads Market." In it, I examine the current state of affairs in the digital display market, review what publishers and marketers have to gain, and examine the costs involved in preparing for and executing on viewability.
A few findings from the report are particularly relevant for publishers:

The new Macbook doesn't have an 8" floppy?!?!
I won't buy one then, wah, wah, waaaaaaahhhh!
If it is so dead, why do most if not all servers come with it?
I've never noticed! My wife and I are going out to eat tonight. I'll check my server and see if there's a RS232 port on him.
The new Macbook doesn't have an 8" floppy?!?!
It's worse than that. It doesn't even read Hollerith cards.
They did. All their most recent mice, including the trackpad, are "no-button" mice.
Ahh, to be young...
We old farts never forget the first time seeing a hardcore high-end card reader suck up a four-foot hopper full of cards in less than five seconds, with a noise like ten Shop-Vacs and one Cessna.
This seems like a fairly blatant attempt to enforce separation between the macbook and the pro.

David Cameron Says Fictional Crime Proves Why Snooper's Charter Is Necessary 179

Not to defend him by any means, but in this instance his statement is no more stupid than invoking 1984 or other dystopian works of fiction as the reason the Snooper's Charter is to be avoided. Fiction they may be, but these works portray possibilities that inform how things might turn out in reality given a course of action, even if the actual outcome resembles the fictional scenario only in kind, not in actual detail. The ability to gain insight into ourselves is one of the many reasons we find works of art valuable in the first place. The key is not to confuse fiction with reality which admittedly many do.

New London - Klewin Development is proposing to build a grocery store and 40 apartments on a 3-acre parcel of city-owned land at the intersection of Bank and Howard streets.
Klewin Development, with offices in Groton, has been talking with the city about plans for an 18,000-square-foot grocery store, with market-rate and affordable housing units above.
Kyle Klewin, a member of Klewin Development, was granted prime developer status last February for the site. He is asking for an extension on the developer status and will make a presentation to the City Council Monday night.
The Economic Development Committee will meet at 5:30 p.m., followed by the City Council at 7 p.m.
Klewin could not be reached for comment Friday, but in correspondence with the city he said the state Department of Economic and Community Development is supportive of the project. The company is preparing an application for funds from the Competitive Housing Assistance for Multifamily Properties, which awards grants and low-interest loans to projects that address affordable housing needs. The housing would be 80 percent market rate and 20 percent affordable.
The company is partnering with Sheldon Oak Central and the Women's Development Corp. for the project. The partners have applied for a $250,000 pre-development loan from the DECD. The money would be used to fund design engineering, environmental review, cost estimates, financial analysis, legal and financing fees.
"They've gotten to a point where they can roll out their plans to the public and the council and get support for them to continue," said Tammy Daugherty, the city's director of development and planning.
Preliminary sketches show a three-story rectangular building with the entrance to the grocery abutting the sidewalk at the intersection of Bank and Howard, and the entrance to the residential portion on the opposite corner. The two upper floors have one- and two-bedroom apartments, but the square footage is not shown. The design shows a parking lot for about 70 vehicles, with an additional 20 spaces on Bank Street.
Construction would be completed in January 2015.
"The project will create jobs, housing and needed services for the residents of New London, while removing a vacant lot in a valuable area in the city," Klewin wrote in an Oct. 16 letter to Ned Hammond, the city's economic development coordinator. " ... we feel a project such as ours will spark further development in the city by creating positive momentum in the City of New London."
The site, which is known as Parcel J, has been vacant since the New London Redevelopment Agency bought the land about 40 years ago as part of a citywide Urban Renewal Plan.
In February, when Klewin was named the preferred developer, Kyle Klewin called the lot the "probably the best site in New London."
Klewin did not say which grocery store could be located at the site, but said he is with a prospective tenant with two similar locations in New London County.

Syria: NATO in chemical weapons warning (Pretext?)
2012-12-04 0:00
Nato Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen has underlined US President Barack Obamas warning to the Syrian government not to use chemical weapons against its own people.
At a Nato foreign ministers meeting in Brussels, Mr Rasmussen said their use would be "completely unacceptable".
The foreign ministers are expected to approve the deployment of Patriot anti-missile batteries to Turkey.
The move is designed to defend Turkeys border with Syria.
Speaking ahead of the Nato meeting, Mr Rasmussen told reporters: "The possible use of chemical weapons would be completely unacceptable for the whole international community.
"If anybody resorts to these terrible weapons, then I would expect an immediate reaction from the international community."
The meeting of the 28-member Western military alliances foreign ministers in Brussels follows a request from Turkey to boost its defences along the border. Nato officials have made clear such a move would be purely defensive.
President Obama has warned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad he would face "consequences" if he used chemical weapons against his people.
"The world is watching. The use of chemical weapons is and would be totally unacceptable," said Mr Obama in a speech at the National Defense University in Washington.
"If you make the tragic mistake of using these weapons there will be consequences and you will be held accountable."

Going travelling? Sign in and write about it on Adventure Bike Rider. It's free, it's easy and we'd love to read all about it.
Ask questions, find answers, help others, say what's on your mind. Join the ABR community.
Blimey! It's that time of the week again when we pick one lucky winner for our Pic of the Week competition. Thank you to all ABRs who sent in their shots for consideration and (I know we may say this most weeks) we've been sent in some awesome shots and its been more difficult than ever to choose this week's winner.
After painstaking deliberation and a few disagreements in the office we can announce that this week's Pic of the Week winner is...Andrew Davies with this shot of his Yamaha XT660Z Tenere almost buried in snow. A bit of a contrast to the high temperatures we're currently experiencing!
Congratulations to Andrew, the proud new owner of an ABR beanie (you'll need it in that snow!) and two ABR stickers!
We had such a hard time choosing the winner this week, so if you'd like to see the competition Andrew was up against click 'Read more'.
This year's Adventure Travel Film Festival is only a few days away and it's looking like the weekend of August 16-18th is going to be an inspiring one.
The Adventure Travel Film Festival, which is being held this weekend (16-18th August) in Sherborne, Dorset, will be hosted by legendary ABRs Austin Vince and Lois Pryce and if you want to see some incredible footage, listen to inspiring stories or have a good laugh, we reckon it's the place to be.
The weather over the last few weeks has been pretty typical of a British summer and it hasn't quite decided if it's going to be rainy or sunny. On the plus side though temperatures have remained pretty high and it's still definitely warm enough to be riding without your thermals!
But what's the weather going to be doing this weekend? Click 'Read more' to find out!
It's that time of the week again folks! As always, we've been sent in some fantastic photos from members of www.adventurebikerider.com for our Pic of the Week competition. Unfortunately, there can be but one winner and so we've been through the painstaking task of picking the best of the bunch and this week we can proudly announce that the winner is...Roy Nicol!
Roy took this beautiful shot when he was touring in Morocco recently and if this doesn't get your adventure taste buds tingling we're not sure what will.
Congratulations to Roy, the proud new owner of an ABR beanie and two ABR stickers!
There were some fantastic pictures emailed in this week, so click 'Read more' to see this week's runners up.
Suzuki has released the third instalment in a series of teaser videos leading up to the launch of the new V-Strom 1000.
Posted on the official Suzuki V-Strom 1000 website this morning, the newest clip, titled 'Building my dream bike', introduces us to Teppei Eguchi, the chassis layout designer for the V-Strom 1000.
A wise man once told me that sleep is one of the most important things our body needs in order to function properly. Without it we're boring caffeine-fuelled zombies who are incapable of doing much at all, but with it we're happy, alert, and most importantly, ready to ride.
According to the National Institute of Health, the required amount of sleep for the average adult is eight hours. That means (if you're average) you're spending toughly 33 percent of your adventures tucked up in a sleeping bag catching some Z's.
Given this information, it seems all the more likely that you'll want to make your sleeping area as warm and as comfortable as possible.
Acerbis, a motorcycle accessory manufacturer from Italy, has launched a new handguard with built in LEDs.
The LED Vision Handguard, which will retail at £99.99, makes use of two adjustable lights which will help make riders more visible to other road users.
Thank you to all those who entered our recent ABR online competition, to win a brilliant set of new, Oxford Aqua waterproof luggage. We offered one lucky winner the chance to win a prize package which includes an Aqua 30 roll bag, an Aqua 50 roll bag, an Aqua 25 Rucksack and an Aqua 3 waist pack! The new Aqua range is a convenient, lightweight luggage option using water resistant zips and a roll top opening, ensuring maximum protection in all weather.
With the exception of the crazy warm day we had yesterday, this weekend has seen a return to what we would consider a typical British summer, we've had rain, we've had a lot of cloud cover and if its been warm, its been the muggy, suffocating heat that's crying out for a thunderstorm to clear the air.
Will things get more favourable over the weekend though?
Preparing for a motorcycle tour or holiday can be quite difficult; unlike a trip in the car, you can't stock up and fill the boot with everything you may need for your trip. Motorcycling is almost like backpacking; you need to do your research and you can only bring as much as you can carry, and only the essentials.
However, how do you decide what is essential from what is just 'useful'? A good place to start is to check the laws and regulations of your chosen destination(s). There are certain things which you must know, remember and carry to meet the requirements of certain countries.
Ventura has announced the addition of two new pieces of luggage to their 'Bike-Pack' range.
The New Zealand based luggage manufacturer today revealed that they've adapted their Bike-Pack luggage system to fit the 2013 models of the BMW R1200GS and KTM 1190 Adventure.
Adventure Bike Rider gear editor Paul Jennison takes a look at Therm-a-Rest's LuxuryLite Ultralite Cot, a travel cot which is light enough, and packs down small enough,to pack in your panniers and take on your adventures.

Its competition time, ABRs and do we have a great prize for you. One lucky ABR online competition winner will win a brand new set of Metzeler Tourance Next tyres!
The Tourance Next is a new product launched in 2013 for the Next Generation of Adventure Bike riders. Designed primarily with road use in mind with some light off road capability, the Tourance Next is available for a wide variety of big adventure bikes such the original BMW R1100GS, Triumph Explorer, Yamaha Super Tenere and is fitted as original equipment on the new R1200GS. A new tread pattern design combined with a dual compound gives extended mileage and top performance on both wet and dry road and excellent rider feedback.

The Social Construction Of The Responsible Corporate Citizen: Sustainability Reports Of The Global Automotive Firms
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The constitutive meanings of responsible corporate environmental citizenship are to be found in global discourses. The author uses Gubrium and Holstein's framework on interpretive practice to study the Corporate Sustainability Reports of multinational automotive companies regarding global warming. The authors observe three common themes - recognizing the issue of greenhouse gases, acknowledging stakeholders, and being rolemodels for society. However, these themes take on unique meanings vis-?-vis each corporate identity. The authors utilize the analytic findings to offer theoretic propositions regarding emergent meanings of corporate environmental citizenship. These meanings are important to understand as firm behavior will be based on these socially-constructed meanings.

Sea Day
We set sail at 7 pm last night in very cloudy (smog) conditions. Had a lovely dinner at a new table on the upper level of the restaurant and met a nice couple from Melbourne. They are travelling Singapore to Hong Kong as are most people we have met except the round the worlders (one couple from Caloundra would you believe) who then fly back home from UK. Early night ...
Day 6! Beach, sunburn and chips!
... staring at the sea and then move their arms and a guy who was pretending he wasn't following and filming us, when he obviously was! Lol! We had a walk down the bay and seen some typical Chinese fishing boots being pulled up to the beach. You could also see little crab holes in the sand, little crabs sprinted in and out of them! At nearly the end of the bay there was a clothes stall in the middle of the beach, quite random! Haha. Clíona had read that there was another bay in ...
Day 6, china is strange but 26 degrees!
Another short night, breakfast is until 9.00am so went downstairs at 8.30. Unfortunately breakfast wasn't very satisfying. They only had noodles, eggs and a dry sort of bread. We all ate something, but will definitely have early lunch.
Beach day today! We took a taxi to Sanya bay. Which a bit of a strange beach. There are no stalls at all and you don't really see people swimming and people just stare at us. We've seen people walking ...
Day 5! Sanya
Woke up in our fancy hotel! Clíona was in such a deep sleep she was a bit confused where she was, beds were really comfy! Breakfast was in the "western" restaurant, well not too much choice there. Bread was a bit sweet and toaster was quite adventurous, bread had to go through it 3 times, lol! Upstairs we took turns in our fabulous bathroom, Miriam had a lovely bath and fell back asleep when Clíona was having her shower. The time ...
Day 5, haikou and sanya!
... Cl�ona, Des and Cian would stand in the queue's for the cashier desks. Yay, Ticket machine had English instructions! Just one problem, we don't have Chinese ID cards... (They want to see your passport for everything here) Back to the cashier queue we went. Haha! Got our tickets fine and time to go through security now, we are not sure if they really checked our bags as you aren't allowed to have liquids with you, but Miriam had a bottle of water in her bag. ...
