moreSo you're fired up, you want to make a difference, you want to change the world…but how? Signing up for your church's mission trip or service project is a great first step, and you are definitely going to make a difference in someone's life. But are you ready for the different cultures you may encounter? How are you going to really connect with the people you serve? And what about when you come home—how do you make sense of all the things you've experienced? It's easy to forget your experiences in the mission field—especially when the people around you haven't had those same experiences. And it is easy to go back to living your life the way you were before—but if you really want to change the world, you have to change, too. The only way that is going to happen is if you spend some time before, during, and after your service preparing for and processing your justice work. As you use this journal you will start to think about— • the people you are serving • your relationship with your teammates • how God factors in to your service project • the impact your experience has had on you • how you can continue to make a difference in the world around you If you think you're fired-up for service now, just wait! As you complete the creative and fun exercises included in this journal, you will be energized for justice work, you'll learn how to apply this to your own life, and nothing will be able to stop you. less

Home sales are up in the Peoria area, but not at the 8-year highs seen recently in Bloomington-Normal. During the second quarter, there were 1,390 homes sold in the tri-county area. That's up just 12 from the same quarter last year. Peoria Area Association of Realtors President John Purple says weather played a role in the fairly flat results.
"We had a mild winter last winter, and that helped a lot with the sales," he says. "This winter of course, we got hit hard, and then we got hit with the flood also and that kind of had a tendency to slow things. It's kind of leveled off for us. We've gotten through a lot of that pent-up inventory that was out there on the market that had been on for some time."
Purple says inventory is down 18.3% compared to a year ago. He says shrinking inventory along with less time on the market are signs the Peoria housing market is improving.
"The days on the market has dropped quite a bit, about 15 percent down to 85 days from 100 in the second quarter in 2012," he says. "The lack of inventory is also helping increase the prices, but we do need inventory out there."
Purple says he has seen other signs of economic recovery, including more construction projects and work on subdivisions.
The average price of a home in the Peoria area last quarter was $147,123. That's up about $2,500 from year-ago levels.

What is Honey?
What is Honey?
Many people, honey lovers among them, are unclear as to what honey is and how it is made. Simply stated, honey is a concentrated solution of simple sugars, mostly fructose and glucose manufactured by honeybees from the nectar of flowers. The foraging honeybee draws nectar up from the host flower's nectar glands and stores it temporarily in her honey crop. During the return flight to the hive, she adds enzymes to the nectar that begin to break down the nectar's sucrose into simpler sugars.
Once home, the field bee gives these contents to the hive bees, who store them in the cells of the colony's wax combs. At this point the un-ripened honey has a water content of between 50 and 75 percent, and would spoil if left as is. The honey must be protected from deterioration to be of use to a hive of bees, which may store it for months or even years before it needs to use the honey. So the bees quickly reduce the moisture to less than 18 percent by fanning their wings to circulate air throughout the hive.
Vermont Honey Story
European honeybees were brought to America in the 1600's to provide honey and to pollinate a newly introduced animal forage called clover. Since then the honeybee has become an essential link in our food production chain, pollinating more than 80 commercial crops.
This process of cross-pollination is vital to many plants, enabling them to reproduce and produce seeds and fruit. Many commercial crops need pollination. This is especially true of Vermont's fine apple crop. Other Vermont crops that benefit from pollination include blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, pumpkins, squash and cucumbers.
As you drive the gravel of Vermont's country roads and enjoy the scenic beauty of the many lush pastures which dot our countryside, keep in mind that many of these fields that feed Vermont's dairy herds also provide a significant portion of the "bee pasture" so vital to the state's honey bee industry. Keep in mind too, that Vermont bees work within village and city limits to provide honey and pollination to Vermont's "urban" beekeepers.
Vermont's honey is produced from wildflowers and forage feeds for cattle where use of chemicals is rare. These floral sources from which this honey comes is more various than wine grapes. The honey is a pure product produced by small beekeepers taking pride in their product.
Vermont has long been known for its innovative beekeepers and sweet pastures. The 1868 U.S. agriculture survey showed Vermont as being, as it is now, the leading honey producing state in New England with 12,000 to 15,000 hives producing from 400,000 to 1,000,000 pounds of honey annually. Because of the types of plants that grow in Vermont's sweet soils, our honey is characteristically mild flavored and light colored. But beyond flavor and color, Vermont honey is a tradition worthy of great pride and praise.
It is interesting to notice how in Vermont the wants of the bee are met from early spring till late autumn. Field work for the honeybees begins in April when, if the weather cooperates, you will see them probing into the silky catkins on Pussy Willow bushes and Swamp Alders. Maple Syrup producers have only recently pulled their taps from the Sugar Maple trees, when the bees are beginning to visit the small flower of these trees and their soft maple cousins.
The first heavy nectar flow of the spring comes with the Dandelion bloom, which can be as high as 60 pounds. Most of these spring honeys are left in the hive to fuel the rebuilding of hive populations which have declined drastically during the winter months. The same is true of the flow from Vermont's Apple trees, though pure Apple Honey, in the rare year when the beekeeper can extract a little, is exquisite; it has the delicate taste and scent of the Apple flowers themselves.
The early summer flow starts with Black Locust trees. Their drooping clusters of white flowers don't produce every year, but when they do they hum with bees, and yield a water white honey of heavy body and mild flavor. Beehives in some locales can also put in a sizable crop of honey at this time from both Wild Blackberry and Raspberry bushes. It is a superior honey and, like locust, very light-colored.
The main event for many beekeepers begins in mid-June with the onset of the clover flow. For about two weeks various species of clover grown as feed for dairy cows flower and, especially in hot, humid days of early summer, produce tremendous quantities of nectar. Hives on platform scales have shown 12 pound gains in a single day as the bee yard roars with activity. It is the clovers and their close relatives in the legume family of plants that have turned Vermont into a land of milk and honey, and clover honey, so rich and smooth, is a special favorite.
Probably the most identifiable clover is White Dutch. Most people have seen bees working in its small, low growing flowers on their lawns or in pastures. Alsike, the queen of clovers, is a major component of good hay. Tallish, with large white heads tinged with pink, it thrives in sweet clay soils like those found in the Champlain Valley. Some beekeepers have estimated that an acre of Alsike will produce 500 pounds of honey in a good season. The nectar of red clover, the state flower, is ironically not available to honeybees. Their tongues are too short to reach the nectar at the base of the flowers. Bee breeders have actually been trying for years to develop a long tongued honeybee that can work red clover, as bumblebees can. The frenzy of the clover flow has usually subsided in the bee yard by the Fourth of July, when the first cut of hay is down and in the barns, and by this time the better part of a hive's surplus may have been made.
Honey from the beautiful Basswood tree is next. A six-to-ten day flow in early July (again, not to be depended upon every year) produces a fine honey, light colored and slightly minty. The purple flowers of Alfalfa, the world's most widespread forage crop, grown on farms everywhere in Vermont, can attract bees in July if conditions are right, and if farmers don't cut and bail it before it blooms. Many Wild flowers, Vetch, Milkweed, Sumac, and several Mint varieties, round out the summer crop and lend a bit of piquancy to it.
Autumn & Winter
As summer winds down, thick stands of goldenrod and aster appear in just about every corner of the state to signal an end to the summer. This is one of a typical year's biggest flows, but because fall honey is often a bit darker and stronger flavored than earlier honeys, most beekeepers leave it in the hive. It's going to be about six months before the bees will be able to dine out in field and forest again, and each hive will need from 60 to 90 pounds of honey stores to make it through the winter.
So ends a chronicle of one honey season. The average honey crop in Vermont is about 50 to 60 pounds (five gallons per hive). Many small beekeepers prefer to remove and extract parts of the crop periodically, as various specialty honeys appear in the hive. The larger commercial operators, who keep their bees in the heavily farmed valleys where the clovers predominate, generally remove the crop all at once and call it "clover honey". Beekeepers in higher elevations often blend their honey in the same way and refer to it as "wildflower honey". It is characteristically a darker amber color and more robust tasting than the clover. We, the members of the Vermont Beekeepers Association, one of the oldest agricultural groups in Vermont, take a great deal of pride in the honey we harvest. It has rightfully come to be known as a gourmet product.

Questions for Steve Parise, State Apiculturist?
Cooking With Honey is Healthy!
Color, Flavor, and Form
Honeys differ in color and taste depending on the blossoms visited by the honey bees. Honey can be enjoyed in several forms -- comb honey, liquid honey and whipped honey.
Store honey at room temperature. It does not need to be refrigerated.
Honey Poppy Seed Salad Dressing
3/4 cup Mayonnaise
1/3 cup Honey
2 tbsp Poppy Seeds
1 tbsp Dijon- style mustard

Swarm Captures
Do you have a swarm of honey bees and don't know what to do?
We may be able to help! Swarming, while frightening to those unfamiliar with it, is a natural part of a bee's reproductive cycle.

Stopped by police officer. Sent to Court. Good mitigation letter and a good solicitor saved me from a ban
We are probably all guilty of exceeding the speed limit at some time or other. Coming from a fast road like a motorway onto a slow B road, 30 mph can seem so slow that you're almost going backwards but you must resist the temptation to put your foot down otherwise you could receive a hefty fine and points on your licence. The police no longer have to do the job as they have a team of mechanical watchdogs to do it for them.
For speeding offences committed after 16 August 2013, the minimum penalty is a £100 fine and 3 penalty points added to your licence.
The table below shows the penalties that apply for speeding offences in the UK, where the case is dealt with by a Magistrates' Court.The actual penalty will depend on the facts of the individual case.
Speed limit (mph)
Recorded speed (mph)
Up to £1,000 (up to £2,500 if offence committed on a motorway).
May also be required to pay costs.

6 points OR disqualify 7-56 days, licence endorsed

If you would like to know more about the ACPO guidance to police forces, you can read our summary of the main points
A police officer can issue an on the spot fine of £100 and 3 penalty points whereas a GATSO speed camera can mean a court summons and any further offences caught on another GATSO Camera can be added together even if up to the point of getting 12 points which if received within a three year period means an automatic disqualification and a TT99 endorsement on your license.
Endorsements remain on your licence for:

Safety Cameras
The UK has one of the best safety records in the world, yet on average 9 people are killed and 85 injured each day on the roads. Safety cameras save about 100 lives a year by reducing speeding and making the roads safer.
What are safety cameras?
Safety cameras include speed cameras and traffic signal cameras. Speed cameras can be fixed, mobile or speed-over-distance (SPED). Most fixed speed cameras are run by the National Safety Camera Partnership (NSCP). The NSCP is made up of local authorities, the police, and the courts, and is subject to rules and guidance on where cameras are placed, and how they are marked and signposted.
What are the NSCP rules for speed cameras?
Fixed speed cameras can only be located in places with a history of serious accidents, or evidence of a speeding problem, or where the local community has requested them, and are marked yellow to make them clearly visible.
Vehicles which contain mobile cameras should be clearly marked. Warning signs should be within 1km of a fixed camera site, and at the start of an area with mobile cameras.
Not all cameras are part of the NCSP. Local councils in conjunction with the police may use fixed or mobile speed cameras in specific areas to control speeding. These cameras, which are run outside the NCSP, are not governed by the same rules on visibility, and the law does not require these cameras to be yellow or visible.
Where does the money from speed cameras go?
Neither the police nor local councils make any money from speeding fines. They can only claim back their running and administration costs for the scheme, and any surplus goes to the Treasury.
What happens if I am caught speeding?
If you are caught speeding by fixed or mobile speed cameras you receive a conditional offer fixed penalty notice. The conditional offer gives you the chance to settle speeding fines without having to go to court. However, if your speed is excessive you will receive a summons from the Magistrate's Court.
The fine for speeding is £100, and 3 penalty points will be added to your licence.
Endorsements, penalty points and disqualification
How to complain about speeding fines?
You can challenge a speeding fine in court. The Magistrates determine any fine and penalty points awarded. They have the power to increase the fine and the penalty points, and you may also be ordered to pay court costs.
Taking a case to court
You should allow 28 days for the conditional offer to expire. You will then receive a summons. You can give reasons for disputing the speeding fine on the summons, plus any evidence you want the court to take into account.
What is a notice of intended prosecution?
The purpose of the notice of intended prosecution (NIP) is to inform the potential defendant that he may be prosecuted for the offence he has committed, whilst the incident is still fresh in his memory.
When you receive an NIP it does not automatically mean that you are going to face prosecution, it is a warning that you may face prosecution.
The NIP must be served within 14 days of the offence. The details that are commonly used if the details of the driver are not known are those of the registered keeper. If the registered keeper was not the driver and the driver receives the NIP after 14 days as long as it was posted within the 14 days it is still valid. Also if the registered keeper/driver has changed address and not informed DVLA, as long as the NIP was posted in 14 days then it is still valid.
If you have received an NIP after a period of 14 days then it is likely to be for one of the reasons above.
NIPS can also be issued verbally or alternatively you could receive a court summons through the post for the alleged offence.
Small mistakes on the notice do not render it ineffective unless it would mislead the potential defendant.
The NIP is said to be served when it has been posted using ordinary post, it is still valid even if it gets lost in the post. The burden of proof is on the potential defendant to prove that neither he nor the registered keeper received the notice and the prosecution only need to prove that the notice was posted.

Second-grader Tyj'Wan Robertson said he's excited about getting back to class this school year; but Saturday, he enjoyed the last couple of days of summer vacation by eating hot dogs and getting his arm painted.
"I'm having fun playing with my friends and playing kickball," he said at the Free Riders Motorcycle Club back-to-school event at Perry Park.
The event featured hundreds of local kids who received school supplies, played kickball and enjoyed snacks before they go back to school on Monday.
In addition, several local officials attended the event, including Sgt. Dave Flanders with Aiken Public Safety.
In between serving up helpings of popcorn and snowcones, Flanders explained that participating in the event gives the officers a chance to interact with the community.
"It lets the kids and parents know that we support education and that we're willing to help them out anyway we can," said Flanders.
In addition to the Motorcycle Club, another local group, True to Your S.O.L.E., also held a back-to-school giveaway on Saturday at First Presbyterian Church in Aiken.
There, several hundred parents, kids and community leaders gathered for more food, drinks, fun and inspirational messages to kick off the school year.
The group gave away 100 free book bags and school supplies to all of the kids in attendance, as well as several pairs of shoes to the lucky raffle winners.
Group founders Denzell Washington and Marcus Schoultz said the feeling of being able to give back in such a big way meant the most to them.
"We just thank God for the opportunity to serve the CSRA," said Schoultz. "We wanted to show that a few hours of our time can mean the success of the next generation."
"We wanted to show the kids that you can do something positive. And like Marcus said, it's just a blessing for us to be able to do something this big for our community," Washington added.
Derrek Asberry is the SRS beat reporter for the Aiken Standard and has been with the paper since June 2013. He is originally from Vidalia, Ga., and a graduate of Georgia Southern University. Follow him on Twitter @DerrekAsberry.

Karen Lewis is under attack. But do you agree with her?
Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis is under attack from the right wing again. But isn't that where a real union leader should be?
At this very moment I still believe there is one party in this country — that is, the party of money, with two branches.
Do not think for a minute that the wealthy are ever going to allow you to legislate their riches away from them. Please understand that. However, we are in a moment where the wealth disparity in this country is very reminiscent of the robber baron ages. The labor leaders of that time, though, were ready to kill. They were. They were just — off with their heads. They were seriously talking about that.
I don't think we're at that point.
The key is that they think nothing of killing us. They think nothing about putting us in harm's way. They think nothing about lethal working conditions.
-CTU President Karen Lewis.
January 9, 2013 10:37 am
Karen's comments were taken out of context…She was offering a history lesson…Haymarket was part of the birth of the union struggle….FDR saved the country from communism through the WPA…History, math, facts…..The teacher's know history!

"[t]hey think nothing of killing us." That's preposterous, and to see 90%+ of teachers in agreement is terrifying.

Shelby Rogers may be closer to the major headlines of women's professional tennis than the casual observer might realize.
It could happen quickly, almost any week. That reality became very clear a few weeks ago when on the same weekend Madison Keys and CoCo Vanderwege won WTA Tour tournaments.
Rogers has been there, so close to moving up the WTA ladder to a position where qualifying tournaments aren't the most important things on her immediate schedule. It wasn't long ago that Keys and Vanderwege were looking for the big breaks that came their way when Keys won the $710,000 Eastbourne Aegon event and Vandewege came through qualifying to win a $250,000 tournament in the Netherlands.
Keys is now ranked 30th in the world and Vandewege has climbed to 51st. Even Alison Riske is in the top 50 at No. 44.
These are all players that not very long ago might have been mentioned in the same breath with Rogers on the topic of promising young American players.
Rogers, ranked 169th after reaching a career-high No. 109 in March, is still looking for her breakthrough. But at 21 years old and four years into her career as a touring pro, the Daniel Island product may be ready to make her move. It's almost bound to happen sooner or later. She has served her apprenticeship years, learning the tricks of the trade, and gaining maturity and confidence.
Rogers has won four of her last six matches, going back to Wimbledon qualifying where she won her first two matches. She followed that up by winning two more matches in a $100,000 ITF event in Contrexeville, France. And now she is starting a qualifying event as the No. 3 seed on Sunday for the $250,000 red-clay tournament in Bad Gastein, Austria.
After Austria, she will return and train for a couple of weeks at Family Circle Tennis Center's MWTennis Academy.
Rogers will then attempt to earn a wild card into a second straight U.S. Open by competing in the USTA's U.S. Open wild card series at Sacramento and Carson, Calif., and Lexington, Ky.
MWtennis Academy
MWTennis Academy replaced the Instinctive Tennis Academy at Family Circle Tennis Center on July 1, and CEO Jeff Wilson and COO Bryan Minton are excited after a week on the job. "A lot of things are not changing . . . just additions," former Atlanta area pro Wilson said Saturday.
Former Maria Sharapova coach Michael Joyce also has moved to Charleston and will serve as the director of MWTennis' pro division.
Wilson and Minton are concentrating on a team concept from a coaching standpoint where everyone teaches the same methods. "We're establishing a culture at MWTennis. We want the program to be known for its quality and culture," Wilson said.
Branding is an important part of the change. "MWTennis players will be easy to identify at tournaments. They will be wearing our shirts and caps," Wilson said.
The MWTennis logo will feature its mascot, a wolf.
Maybank Update
Maybank Tennis Center's cabana project for its clay courts is moving along. Ike Smith of the fund-raising committee reported that the fund-raising drive has been successful.
"We are pleased to report that we have sufficient monies in hand to put shade on courts 9/10 and 11/12 and will start the installation in the near future. The city has ordered the structures, and the installation design is in hand. We should have protection from the hot sun before too much summertime passes by," Smith said.
Donations are still being accepted at Maybank Tennis Center or online at www.charleston-sc.gov to fund a similar cabana for court 13.
Local notes
-- The Lowcountry Youth Tennis Association and Trident Academy were among the 46 community tennis and education organizations receiving grants from USTA Serves, which is the charitable foundation of the USTA. USTA Serves awarded a total of $429,000 in grants nationwide.
-- Charleston Tennis Center will hold the Charleston Junior Hardcourt Championship on July 18-20. Registration is available online at www.sctennis.com (tournament ID 700044814).
-- Downtown tennis players should have a brand-new six-court complex available before the end of the year. The old Stadium Courts, now named the Jack Adams Tennis Center, were the city's original public courts, located adjacent to The Citadel's Johnson Hagood Stadium. The cement courts are scheduled to be completely replaced with asphalt ones. New fencing also is planned. Several of the courts will still back up to the football stadium as has been the tradition for many decades.

"a bounty of people. . ."
Coming out of winter can sometimes feel like coming out of hibernation. As spring grows, it doesn't take quite as much effort, or at least bundling up, to get out of the house and connect with others. Rev. Max Coots, minister emeritus of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Canton, New York, reminds us of the importance of these connections:
Garden Meditations
by Rev. Max Coots
Let us give thanks for a bounty of people.
For children who are our second planting, and though they
grow like weeds and the wind too soon blows them away, may
they forgive us our cultivation and fondly remember where
their roots are.
Let us give thanks;
For generous friends…with hearts…and smiles as bright
as their blossoms;
For feisty friends, as tart as apples;
For continuous friends, who, like scallions and cucumbers,
keep reminding us that we've had them;
For crotchety friends, sour as rhubarb and as indestructible;
For handsome friends, who are as gorgeous as eggplants and
as elegant as a row of corn, and the others, as plain as
potatoes and so good for you;
For funny friends, who are as silly as Brussels sprouts and
as amusing as Jerusalem artichokes;
And serious friends as unpretentious as cabbages, as subtle
as summer squash, as persistent as parsley, as delightful as
dill, as endless as zucchini and who, like parsnips, can be
counted on to see you through the winter;
For old friends, nodding like sunflowers in the evening-time,
and young friends coming on as fast as radishes;
For loving friends, who wind around us like tendrils and hold
us, despite our blights, wilts and witherings;
And finally, for those friends now gone, like gardens past
that have been harvested, but who fed us in their times that
we might have life thereafter.
For all these we give thanks.

Research/Review: Structure and Linkage Disequilibrium Analysis of Adamantane Resistant Mutations in Influenza Virus M2 Proton Channel
Yao Yu, Xuan Li, Pei Hao, Jing-Fang Wang and Kuo-Chen Chou
Shanghai Center for Bioinformation Technology, 1278 Keyuan Road, Shanghai 201203, China.
The M2 proton channel is translated by the M gene segment of influenza viruses, and has been adopted as an attractive target for influenza A viruses, on which a series of adamantane-based drugs act. However, recently epidemic influenza viruses have had strong resistant effects against the adamantane-based drugs. In this paper, we combined evolutionary analyses, linkage disequilibrium as well as molecular dynamics simulations to explore the drug resistance of the M2 proton channel, with an aim of providing an in-depth understanding of the resistant mechanism for adamantane-based drugs. We collected 2746 coding sequences for swine, avian, and human M2 proteins. After evolutionary and linkage disequilibrium analyses, we found that the some residues in the C-terminal were associated with the famed resistant mutation S31N. Subsequently, we constructed the 3D structures of the swine, avian as well as human M2 channel, and performed MD simulations on these channels with a typical adamantane-based drug rimantadine. From the simulation trajectories, we found that the resistance against the adamantane-based drugs for the M2 channel from 2009 A(H1N1) viruses was derived from the structural allostery in the transmembrane and C-terminal regions. The helices in the transmembrane region were irregular in formation and employed larger distances between the adjacent 2 helices, which can weaken the interactions between the adjacent 2 helices and destabilize the helix-helix assembly, resulting in a comparatively loosely structure. The helices in the C-terminal region show a disordered configuration, giving chances for solvent molecules to enter into the channel pore.

Marseille France Cruise Port
How to get there?
From the airport Marseille-Provence
which is 30 km from Marseille center:
Be aware that the different cruise terminals of Marseille are pretty far apart, check with your cruise company which dock will be used.
By train: from the railway station St-Charles you can join easily your cruise terminal by taxi.
For GPS users: Place de la Joliette, Marseille.
Although the port is too far (8 km) to walk to center of Marseille and is not pedestrian-friendly. To get into town, take a taxi or the shuttle service to and from the Vieux Port (the center of town). Or take City bus (RTM) nos. 35, 36.
A taxi will cost about 30 Euro.
Printable map to take along.
Cruise calendar for this port.
Watch a destination video.
Ship's Location
in Cruise Port:
The Vieux (old) Port is the hub of Marseilles, lined by its quais, filled with fishing boats and yachts, and surrounded by small streets teeming with seafood restaurants , cafés and shops. The Quai des Belges, at the end of the port, hosts a fish market, every morning of the week.
The Vieux Port is the center of tourist Marseille. It is the main marina of the city and it is a good starting point for walks around the old city, along the shopping street "Canebiere" or to the church Notre Dame de la Garde.
South of La Canebière, bohemian cours Julien (known as the 'cours Ju') sits on the site of the former central food market. These days it is the city's most youthful area, home to a varied collection of fashion boutiques, bookshops, terrace cafés and music venues.
North of the Vieux Port is the hilly district of Le Panier, the oldest part of the city and traditionally the first stop for immigrants – and tourists. It's hard to resist its narrow streets, steep stairways and ancient, pastel-coloured houses.
There is also a regular, smaller ferry that potters from one side of the Vieux Port to the other.
Tourist information: 4 La Canebière and at the train station Gare St-Charles.
The Abbaye de St-Victor (3 rue de l'Abbaye, 04 96 11 22 60), a fascinating double-decker church and once one of the most powerful abbeys in the South, is worth the climb. Another (steep) climb, via twisting streets and steps, will take you to the city's most famous landmark: Notre-Dame de la Garde, rue Fort du Sanctuaire, an extraordinary neo-Byzantine extravagance of a basilica.
The shuttle service from the cruise port ends right where The "Petits
Trains Touristiques" makes
a circuit of the center of Marseille, with commentary. It starts from
the end of the Old Port (Quai des Belges, where the Office de Tourisme
is located)
From 12h-14h the trains only run if there are at least 10 passengers.
You can also opt for the hop on/off services of Marseille Le Grand Tour which also starts at the same spot.
It pays to compare your cruise line shore excursions here.
|Nearby Places:

Environmental and Urban Studies Program and Asian Studies Program present
The tsunami of March 11th 2011 not only devastated Northeastern Japan but instigated an ongoing nuclear crisis, in which the fear of radiation has penetrated the air, ground, food, and water of the entire country. Growing doubt towards the nuclear power industry and governmental regulatory structures has unleashed a new wave of citizen activism and popular protest on a scale unseen in Japan for decades. Yuko Tonohira and Ayumi Hirai of the group Todos Somos Japon will discuss recent developments in the anti-nuclear movement and screen a selection of short documentary films on responses to the crisis.
Todos Somos Japon is a network-building project aiming to connect and support activists in Japan and world-wide. TSJ publishes and translates critical writings in Japanese and English at http://jfissures.org and organizes events and film screenings in the New York area and beyond.

Video:What Is the Digestive System?with Jim Shields
The human digestive system is what provides the body with all of its nutrition. This video from About.com will explain more about the digestive system.See Transcript
Transcript:What Is the Digestive System?
Hi, I'm Jim Shields for About.com, and today I'm going to teach you about the digestive system.
Our cells need energy to function, and they make energy through a reaction between oxygen and nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats. The respiratory system gets the oxygen to the cells, while it's the job of the digestive system to provide the nutrients.
Digestion Begins in the Mouth
So how does the digestive system take large pieces of food, like a slice of pizza or an apple, and make it small enough for the nutrients to be extracted for delivery to the tiny cells? Much of the work of the digestive system is to take large pieces of food and break it down. That starts in the mouth, where we place food to be roughly smashed and chopped by chewing. The tongue helps this process by moving and turning the food while we chew. But the digestive process begins even before we start eating.
Ever feel your mouth "watering" over a delicious smell of fresh baked cookies? That "water" is saliva, which is excreted into your mouth by your salivary glands in anticipation that digestion is set to begin. The saliva helps take the food your teeth have ground up and make it softer for its trip to the rest of the digestive system.
The Stomach and Small Intestine Further Break Down Food
The soft, chewed food now moves from the mouth through the esophagus and into the stomach. In the stomach, the food waits to be broken down by gastric juices excreted by the stomach walls. The churning stomach makes the food even smaller, to fit into the small intestine.
Three organs work with the small intestine to deliver nutrients from the food: the pancreas, the liver and the gall bladder. The pancreas helps digest proteins and fats. The liver sends liquid called bile to the small intestine to help absorb the fats into the bloodstream, and the gall bladder stores the bile until the liver needs it. Furthermore, the liver filters harmful toxins from the blood and regulates the delivery of vitamins to the bloodstream.
Large Intestine is the Final Stop
The food continues on its journey, entering the large intestine. The large intestine includes the appendix, which is an essentially useless organ, and the colon, which helps remove the last bit of water and nutrients from the food mixture. As it does this, what is left is waste products with the water removed, known as feces, which is stored in the rectum, the last stop along the digestive system. The waste that the body can't use is squeezed out of the body through the anus.

The Thunder has a championship-caliber roster. Of that there is no doubt. But there are different kinds of championship rosters.
The Thunder has the top-heavy variety. As in, vulnerable.
The Thunder has a championship-caliber roster. Of that there is no doubt. But there are different kinds of championship rosters.
The Thunder has the top-heavy variety. As in, vulnerable.
That's what we've learned from the first two games of the Western Conference Finals. The value of Serge Ibaka, and the mighty gulf in talent and impact between the Thunder's three elite young stars and the rest of the squad.
Rare talent elevates NBA teams. Rare talent certainly describes Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Ibaka; the first two offensively, the latter defensively, a truth we know for certain after watching the Spurs average 117 points a game so far in this series.
That's the way most NBA champs are built. The Heatles. The Lakers of Kobe, Gasol and Andrew Bynum. The Celtics of Garnett, Allen and Pierce. The Spurs back in the day when their now-aged stars were in their primes. It's a tried and true method, so long as you can collect such talent.
But it's fragile. A strained tendon (Kevin Garnett 2009) or a torn ACL (Derrick Rose 2012) or a torn meniscus (Russell Westbrook 2013) changes the playoff landscape. No matter how valiant the effort, no matter how determined the cause, the Celtics weren't winning without Garnett, and the Bulls weren't winning without Rose, and the Thunder wasn't winning without Westbrook.
Which explains the joy in Oklahoma on Friday, when the Thunder announced that Ibaka might return from a strained calf injury that kept him even from traveling to San Antonio for the first two games of the series. Perhaps Ibaka might even play Game 3 Sunday night in OKC.
Such a proclamation restored to all of Thunderland, inside and outside Thunder headquarters off Britton Road, a missing ingredient: hope.
The Thunder has no hope without Ibaka. The Thunder has talked bravely; even played bravely for awhile, leading midway through the second quarter of Game 2 and midway through the third quarter of Game 1. But the truth is, the Thunder can't beat the Spurs without Ibaka. The roster isn't built for it.
A few NBA title contenders have deep and gradual rosters. These Spurs, for instance. The difference in impact between Tony Parker, who I assume is San Antone's MVP, and Manu Ginobili or Danny Green, no better than the fifth-most important Spur, is not gargantuan. Some games, Green will have more impact than will Parker. Some games, Ginobili will have more impact than Kawhi Leonard.
But that's not the kind of roster the Thunder has. Kendrick Perkins will never impact a game like Ibaka will. Caron Butler never will impact a game like Kevin Durant will. Thabo Sefolosha never will impact a game like Russell Westbrook will.
These Spurs are reminiscent of the 2004 Pistons, who were virtually starless. Or all stars, depending on how you looked at it. Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace, Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince, Rasheed Wallace. Even close observers of that grand old team would be hard-pressed to agree on a consensus order of rank.
Not so with the Thunder. Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka. Then a big drop to Reggie Jackson, and another big drop to whoever. The Thunder has some fine role players. Many good role players. But not the kind of role players who can stand in the gap when one of the stars goes down.
