Growth and Structure of Cities
Students may complete a major or minor in Growth and Structure of Cities. Within the major, students may complete a concentration in environmental studies and Latin American and Iberian studies (Haverford). Students may enter the 3-2 Program in City and Regional Planning, offered in cooperation with the University of Pennsylvania.

The interdisciplinary Growth and Structure of Cities major challenges the student to understand the dynamic relationship of urban spatial organization and the built environment to politics, economics, cultures and societies. Core introductory classes present analytic approaches that explore the changing forms of the city over time and analyze the variety of ways through which men and women have re-created urban life through time and across cultures. With these foundations, students pursue their interests through classes in planning, architecture, urban social and economic relations, urban history and the environmental conditions of urban life. Advanced seminars bring together these discussions by focusing on specific cities and topics.
Major Requirements
A minimum of 15 courses (11 courses in Cities and four allied courses) is required to complete the major. Two introductory courses (185, 190) balance formal and socio-cultural approaches to urban form and the built environment, and introduce cross-cultural and historical comparison of urban development. The introductory sequence should be completed with a broader architectural survey course (253, 254, 255) and an intensive writing course (229 or substitute). These courses should be completed as early as possible in the first and second years; at least two of them must be taken by the end of the first semester of the sophomore year.
In addition to these introductory courses, each student selects six elective courses within the Cities Program, including cross-listed courses. At least two must be at the 300-level. In the senior year, a third advanced course is required. Most students join together in a research seminar, 398. Occasionally, however, after consultation with the major advisers, the student may elect another 300-level course or a program for independent research. This is often the case with double majors.
Finally, each student must identify four courses that represent additional expertise to complement her work in the major. These may include courses such as physics and calculus for architects, special skills in design, language, or regional interests. Any minor, concentration or second major also fulfills this requirement.
Both the Cities Program electives and the four or more related courses outside the program must be chosen in close consultation with the major advisers in order to create a strongly coherent sequence and focus. Cities courses that are cross-listed with other departments or originate in them can be counted only once in the course selection, although they may be either allied or elective courses.
Students should also note that many courses in the program are given on an alternate-year basis. Many carry prerequisites in art history, economics, history, sociology and the natural sciences. Hence, careful planning and frequent consultations with the major advisers are particularly important. Special arrangements are made for double majors.
Cities majors have created major plans that have allowed them to coordinate their interests in cities with architecture, planning, ethnography, history, law, environmental studies, mass media, social justice, medicine, public health, the fine arts and other fields. No matter the focus, though, each Cities major must develop a solid foundation in both the history of architecture and urban form and the analysis of urban culture and experience. Careful methodological choices, clear analytical writing, and critical visual analysis are also emphases of the major. Early and frequent consultation with major advisers and discussion with other students in the major are an important and productive part of the Cities Program, and part of what helps us all take advantage of the major's flexibility in an organized and rigorous way.
Students with special interests should talk about them with major advisers as soon as possible. This is especially true for students interested in architecture, who will need to arrange studio time (226, 228) as well as accompanying courses in math, science and architectural history; they should contact the program director or Daniela Voith in their first year.
Concentration in Environmental Studies
Students who wish to combine their Cities major with Environmental Studies should talk with Ellen Stroud early in their career. These students should take the introductory environmental studies courses (CITY B175 and GEOL B103) as early as possible in their programs, and plan to take Ecology (BIOL B220) before their senior year.
3-2 Program in City and Regional Planning
Over the past two decades, many Cities majors have entered the 3-2 Program in City and Regional Planning, offered in conjunction with the University of Pennsylvania . Students interested in this program should meet with the program director early in their sophomore year.
Concentration in Latin American and Iberian Studies
The Cities Program has a cooperative arrangement with this Haverford-based concentration. This concentration entails competence in Spanish and completion of SPAN/GNPR 240 at Haverford as well as classes inside and outside the major chosen in consultation with Professor Roberto Castillo at Haverford and Cities advisers. The thesis topic should also reflect interest in Latin American and Iberian topics. This concentration has links to a five-year cooperative M.A. program in Latin American Studies at Georgetown.
Minor Requirements
Requirements for the minor in the Cities Program are at least two out of the four required courses and four Cities electives, of which two must be at the 300-level. Senior Seminar is not mandatory in fulfilling the Cities minor.
Volunteerism and Internships
The Cities Program promotes student volunteer activities and student internships in architectural firms, offices of urban affairs and regional planning commissions. Students wishing to take advantage of these opportunities should consult with the advisers and the Praxis Office before the beginning of the semester.
Study Abroad and Off Campus
Programs for study abroad or off campus are also encouraged, within the limits of the Bryn Mawr and Haverford rules and practices. In general, a one-semester program is preferred, but exceptions are made. The Cities Program regularly works with off-campus and study-abroad programs that are strong in architectural history, planning and design as well as those that allow students to pursue social and cultural interests. Students interested in spending all or part of their junior year away must consult with the major advisers and appropriate deans early in their sophomore year.
Haverford and Swarthmore courses may fulfill electives in the Cities Program. They may be identified in course listings and discussed with the major advisers. Courses at the University of Pennsylvania may sometimes be substituted for certain electives in the Cities Program; these should be examined in conjunction with the major advisers.

New Super Mario Bros U "only possible because of the new hardware."
As Nintendo readies to launch the Wii U in Europe on 30 November, New Super Mario Bros U will be the first Mario game to coincide with a new hardware release since the Nintendo 64 in 1996. In an exclusive interview with games™, director Masataka Takemoto discusses the portly plumber's crucial debut and the challenges stepping into the next generation. "When releasing a game at launch, the challenge is to have Mario be the catalyst to get the excitement going for the hardware," he says. "So compared to Mario games that are released outside the launch window, it becomes ever so important that this is a Mario game that is only possible because of the new hardware. Also, with new hardware, players will be introduced to new controls they aren't familiar with. In this case, the Wii U GamePad.
"With a brand new franchise, people won't have any difficulty accepting it being different, since they'll just think of it as a new game. But as this is a 2D Mario platformer and people are already familiar with those games, we needed to come up with a gameplay style that people could be comfortable with right off the cuff," he adds.
There's also the matter of Princess Peach. Playable in Super Mario Bros 2 released on the NES, she's yet to join the roster of Mario, Luigi and Toad in the New Super Mario Bros series. The exclusion of Mario's ever-elusive squeeze has been the cause of much ire among the community, but Takemoto explains that she's simply not suited to the series. "In Super Mario Bros 2, Princess Peach had her own unique moves and animation," he says. "In this series, we want all the players to have the same moves and animations as Mario, and Princess Peach isn't suited for that."
For more on New Super Mario Bros U, the Wii U launch and to celebrate games™'s 10th anniversary see issue 129 of games™, which features the full interview with Masataka Takemoto, veteran Mario producer Takashi Tezuka and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the very first issue of games™. games™ issue 129 is on sale 22 November in both print and half-price digital formats.

Kellan Lutz's Beverly Hills Check-Up
Even stars need a check-up! Kellan Lutz was spotted arriving at his doctor's office in Beverly Hills, CA on Monday afternoon (August 13).
The 27-year-old "Twilight" hunk rocked a tight violet tee as he quickly walked past the awaiting mob to make sure he's fit and healthy.
In related news, the super sexy actor recently spoke with amNewYork and opened up about everything from women to his style preferences.
When talking about his New York City style, Kellan said, "Color! I've noticed a lot of New York guys tend to stick to the neutrals, which are great, but I would suggest embracing pops of color."
And, when asked about his preference for women's style, Lutz explained, "For me, something cozy and comfortable - anything oversized or layered that leaves you wondering," adding, "I think Ashley Greene has great style. When she gets dressed up for a premiere or red-carpet event, she always looks stunning. Or, if she's running around L.A., she has a great laid-back look in jeans and a T-shirt. No matter what, she stays true to who she is and what she wears is relatable."

Senior Citizens Center
(518) 869-7172
Chrissy Lanza
, Recreation Leader
Enjoying lunch at the Village of Colonie Senior Citizens Center.
The Village of Colonie Senior Citizens Center first opened its doors to the public on Mother's Day, 1966. It was the first such center organized in the Town of Colonie. The idea for a center for the exclusive use of senior residents of the Village was conceived by Mayor Bill Cook and Edward Skinner. They decided to use a house which had been donated to the Village of Colonie and moved to the Village municipal property. By 1978, the house had become too small for the more than sixty members of the center to conduct their meetings and activities. The seniors had opted to have their monthly meetings at the Village Hall and to conduct special classes and parties at the Colonie
Community Center. A solution had to be found, though, so that all activities could be held under one roof. Finally, with the help of H.U.D. funding, an addition was built to the rear of the Village Hall. Opening day for the newly-
named Herbert B. Kuhn Senior Citizens Center
was September 27, 1981. A more spacious and modem facility was finally a reality! After eight years of operation, on September 24, 1989, the
Center was again expanded to accommodate a growing population of active Village seniors. Anne
Joachim, served as Senior Citizens Director for the first 25 years of the Center and helped it grow t
hrough its infancy. Anne retired in 1991 and J
oan Leak, a life-long community resident,
became Director in June, of 1991. Under Joan's able leadership, the Senior Citizens Center continued to be a strong focus for its many members.

Fundamental Critical Care Support (FCCS) can be licensed and brought to an institution in two ways. Both methods share the same:
At the completion of the course, learners will be able to:
Participation in, or completion of, this course does not confer any credential, nor does it satisfy any board certification requirement apart from the continuing education credit if offered for it. This course is not intended to replace, override, or conflict with any licensing or credentialing requirements.
Traditional Licensed CourseA live, instructor-led, two-day course is the traditional method for delivering the FCCS course. Licensed sites arrange for qualified instructors to deliver the 17 lectures and their related skill stations. Complete slide decks with speaker notes as well as administrative materials and forms are provided to each site. Textbooks are shipped to the site prior to the course dates, allowing learners to prepare for the live activity. The site coordinator administers the pre- and posttests and provides that information to SCCM, which prepares and ships certificates of completion to the site coordinator for distribution. The Institutional Relations team can help sites that have not previously held a course find consultants who will lead the development of FCCS on site. The goal is for individual sites to become self-sustaining in their delivery of the FCCS program.
Online Licensed Course Utilizing the well-established materials from the traditional, instructor-led course, this format allows sites to more efficiently deliver the didactic educational content and creates flexibility for instructors and learners for the delivery of the hands-on skill stations. Online lectures were prepared by leaders in critical care and delivered by professional presenters. Using a state-of-the-art online learning management system, participants complete the lecture portion of the course over four weeks. Pre- and posttests assure their mastery of the educational content. Course directors and coordinators can monitor the progress of students in real time through their personalized administrative dashboard. Participants who successfully complete of the online licensed course will receive a certificate of completion. In addition, those learners will receive CE/CME from SCCM for their completion of the lecture portion of the program.
Self-DirectedSelf-Directed FCCS provides a relaxed learning experience with access to the same didactic sessions found in the live version of the FCCS course. Learners cover materials at their own pace from the comfort and convenience of their homes or offices and then assess their knowledge through the use of pre- and posttests. Self-Directed FCCS includes all 16 modules with synchronized speaker audio and the FCCS textbook (English), which will be automatically shipped shortly after registration is completed. Physicians, nurses, and pharmacists are eligible to receive 6.5 hours of continuing education credit. Respiratory therapists are eligible to receive 6 hours of continuing education credit. This version of the course does not include the skill stations or an FCCS provider certificate. Self-directed learners can choose to register for the skill station portion of the course at one of the live sites listed in the course calendar. Visit the Self-Directed FCCS page to make a purchase.
The FCCS textbook is an integral part of the FCCS learning experience and is available in print or as an eBook. The FCCS program has grown enormously since its inception in 1994. This most recent edition is the reference and source for the standardized course composed of 17 lectures and related skill stations. The text is appropriate for primary care physicians, emergency physicians, residents and fellows, physicians' assistants, nurses, and other personnel who care for critically ill and injured patients.
Prepared under the direction of the SCCM by an international team of leading multiprofessional critical care educators in anesthesiology, emergency medicine, internal medicine, nursing, pediatrics and surgery, FCCS textbook covers:
Licensed institutions will be assessed a fee for each learner which includes a copy of the current edition of the textbook (print or eBook) and, upon successful completion of the course, a provider certificate.
Single Course
Shaped by SCCM's commitment to meeting the needs of each individual customer, the FCCS course pricing structure is designed to be both fair and flexible. The Society offers two options: Single Course licenses, and Unlimited Annual Course licenses. Pricing options are tiered, based on the country in which the course is held. This allows SCCM to accommodate various ranges in needs and available financial resources.
Please contact the Institutional Relations team at +1 847-827-6869 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com with any circumstances that may require special pricing consideration.
Nonprofit Tier 3
Multicourse Discounts
Are you interested in holding multiple courses throughout the year? If you plan to hold four or more courses in one year, you should consider an unlimited license. The Society offers discounted course pricing for volume purchases – the more courses you purchase, the larger the discount. Please contact the Institutional Relations team at +1 847-827-6869 or via e-mail at email@example.com with any circumstances that may require special pricing consideration
Tiered Pricing
Tiered pricing is based on a country's Gross Domestic Product at Purchasing Power Parity Per Capita as reported by the World Bank in its most current World Development Indicators database.
Per Learner Pricing
Translated versions of the FCCS textbook are in development. Please call the Institutional Relations team with any questions at +1 847-827-6869 or via contact them via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
You will find suggestions and guidelines below to assist you in planning for your course. Detailed timelines, sample schedules, equipment lists and forms are provided to site coordinators/directors by SCCM after course dates are set. The Institutional Relations Team at the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) can answer questions or discuss your plans with you. To reach a member of the team, please call +1 847 827-6869 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
To apply for an FCCS course license and purchase learners, please visit the Fundamentals portal. A username and password are required to log in. If you do not know this information, please e-mail email@example.com. Please note that each learner will receive a copy of the book and one certificate will be issued for each learner who successfully completes the course.
Choosing Online vs. Live Course
The instructor-led, online version of this program relieves the instructor of gathering students into a single classroom and providing instruction for the many lectures required for this course. Instead the students receive links to the course hosted in the SCCM Learning Management System, where they automatically receive the pre-test, view the lectures and listen to a professionally recorded version of the audio for each chapter, download PDFs of the slides for note taking, and interact with the program through pop quizzes and other interactive content. Students may leave and return to continue where they left off. The Course Director views student progress via an online dashboard until the student completes the lectures by taking the post-test. Pre/Post-test scores are provided to both the student and the Course Director. The Course Director schedules skill station time for the course. Each student then participates in the hands-on skill stations at the hosting institution. In addition, CE/CME is provided for physicians, nurses, and pharmacists through SCCM for the online modules. Thus, the online version of the course greatly relieves the burden of hosting this program.
In the live instructor-led course version of FCCS, the Course Director, with the assistance of the Course Coordinator, has responsibility for planning, organizing and conducting the course. These responsibilities include faculty selection, course logistics, obtaining equipment, establishing participant registration processes, and requesting necessary course resources (audiovisual equipment, skills station equipment, catering, etc.). Provision of CE/CME credits is also a Course Director/Coordinator responsibility.
Course Requirements
Administrative Process
When planning and administering an FCCS course, please use the following as a checklist.
Continuing Education Credits
Online instructor-led: The online instructor-led format provides 6.5 CME credits for physicians, 6.5 contact hours for nurses and pharmacists.
Live instructor-led: SCCM does not have direct involvement in the course offering; therefore, SCCM cannot issue CE/CME credit to course participants. If the institution or course sponsor is a national or state accredited CE/CME provider, it may wish to grant CE/CME credit for the course. Typical credit for a 2-day course would be 15.75 CME credits for physicians, 15.75 contact hours for nurses and pharmacists.
Course Schedule
Course schedules generally are two full days. Alternative examples might include:
General considerations about the sequencing of lectures and skill stations is presented in the detailed administrative materials provided to all approved sites. Variations from these suggestions are permitted for the convenience of participants.

UPDATE: Scroll down to the bottom of the page see our summary of the report's plans for Broadband, Mobile and Copyright, and look out for an imminent news story on the future of Radio on whathifi.com.
Future plans for the Internet, radio, television, local media and broadband should be outlined this afternoon by new culture secretary Ben Bradshaw.
Lord Carter's report will tackle issues across the digital spectrum, from providing broadband for all to tackling online piracy, to solving Channel 4's funding problems and the crisis in regional news.
The culture secretary's announcement is expected to begin at 3.30pm this afternoon and we'll be bringing you the news here as it happens.
More after the break
- To ensure all can access and benefit from the network of today, we confirm our intention to deliver the Universal Service Broadband Commitment at 2Mbps by 2012.
- This can be delivered through upgrades to the existing copper and wireless networks.
- We also propose public support for the network of tomorrow so that consumers in the Final Third who will not be reached by the market can enjoy next generation broadband.
- The Universal Service Commitment will be delivered by a mix of technologies:DSL, fibre to the street cabinet, wireless and possibly satellite infill.
- The Next Generation Final Third project. Next generation broadband networks
- The Government believes the fairest and most efficient means of ensuring that the overwhelming majority of the country has access to next generation broadband is to create an independent Next Generation Fund, based on a supplement of 50 pence per month on all fixed copper lines
So that's broadband for all at a minimum of 2Mbps by 2012. And a 50p tax on existing lines to provide for the next generation broadband network.
- A rapid transition to next generation high-speed mobile broadband
- Progress towards universal coverage in 3G and Next Generation Mobile, reliable coverage throughout the rail network and mobile coverage on the London Underground
- Maintaining a highly competitive mobile market.
- Ensure that each of the five existing operators and potential new entrants can bid for sufficient spectrum to build out a next generation mobile network capable of broadband speeds of 50Mbps in the main urban and suburban markets going, down to perhaps 4-5Mbps in the more rural areas.
- The Government proposes to make the existing operators' 3G licences indefinite rather than term licences in order to provide certainty for investment and an incentive towards greater roll-out towards universality.
So improved coverage and speeds are top of the list, while mobile providers must be rubbing their hands together after having their 3G licenses extended indefinitely.
- Government enforces its belief that piracy of intellectual property for profit is theft and will be pursued as such through the criminal law.
- The Government believes that most people, given a reasonable choice would much prefer not o do wrong or break the law.
- Aim to provide a framework that encourages the growth of legal markets for downloading that are inexpensive, convenient and easily accessible for consumers.
- Aim to provide for a graduated response by rights-holders and ISPs so that they can use the civil law to the full to deter the hard core of users who wilfully continue unlawful activity
- The Government intends to provide initially for Ofcom to have a duty to secure a significant reduction in unlawful file sharing by imposing two specific obligations: notification of unlawful activity and, for repeat-infringers, a court-based process of identity release and civil action.
- The Government is also providing for intermediate technical measures by ISPs, such as bandwidth reduction or protocol blocking, if the two main obligations have been reasonably tried but shown not to have worked within a reasonable but also reasonably brisk period.
- As part of the Government's desire to encourage inexpensive but legal consumer access to digital content, we will also make some changes to the legislative framework around copyright licensing, to tackle problems such as those surrounding the use of so-called orphan works and thus help digital markets in those works to develop.

Nihiwatu, on Indonesia's Sumba island, is paradise with a conscience
Andrew Demaria, CNN • Updated 2nd February 2016
Nihiwatu, Sumba, Indonesia (CNN) —
"This has been voted one of the best left-hand breaks on the planet. But watch out for the reef if you get dumped -- try and shallow fall."
The surfing instructor knows who he's dealing with -- an uncoordinated, naturally ungifted sportsman on the wrong side of fit and very embarrassed at being Australian yet unable to surf.
And totally in awe of the view back to the beach and surrounding coastline while floating impressively ungainly between wave sets.
A scene like this, of the beach, gardens and hillside of the unassuming
resort on Indonesia's eastern island of Sumba island, makes a morning of shallow falling (read: tumbling like a drunken cat in a washing machine) totally palatable.
The beauty is immense and the urge to dole out "paradise"-riddled cliches is equally immense.
The only resort on the island of Sumba, Indonesia, Nihiwatu allows its guests luxury and a close relationship with the local culture.
Yet, there's something more tranquil about this setting, a sense of harmony in the way the resort blends in effortlessly with its surroundings -- even with this surfer wannabe in the frame.
World's 50 best surf spots
Finding the 'perfect place'
The only resort on the island of Sumba, Indonesia, Nihiwatu allows its guests luxury and a close relationship with the local culture.
The hotel is the remarkable result of a vision of colorful resort founder Claude Graves, who in 1984 with his wife, Petra, packed up their life in Africa to go in search of the perfect wave.
The ambition, he says, was to create a "perfect place" around that perfect experience.
It has so far proven a story well worth retelling.
"I wanted to create something totally experiential that didn't detract from the area," says Grave. "The best travel is around the best experiences."
After four years, and finding what has become known locally as The Wave, he and Petra ended up here in Nihiwatu on the southern coast of the relatively unknown Sumba, an island about an hour's flight east of Bali.
Wild Wakatobi: Indonesia's little-known dive paradise
Land time almost forgot
The couple camped on the beach, an idyllic 2.5-kilometer-long stretch of sand.
The beach is still difficult to access for anyone other than local villagers, and thus serves as something of a private beach for guests. It's hard to imagine this same sand was the scene, barely six months before the Graves' arrival, of a massive battle between 2,000 local tribesmen.
Indeed, Sumba could be easily labeled an island that time almost forgot. That clash was an illustration of the fiercely traditional, territorial and tribal nature of Sumbanese culture -- reinforced by the swords the village men strap to their sides to this day.
It's also, by Western standards, incredibly poor with little to no utilities access and infrastructure for many, if not most, villages. This lack of standard resources posed a challenge for Graves and his plans.
World's 100 best beaches
Becoming Sumbanese
Through years of assimilation, negotiation, trust and countless pig sacrifices, Graves ingrained himself with the local community.
"We always said that if we found and developed a place, it had to be inclusive," says Graves, who confesses to not being a "hotel man."
With more than 300 Sumbanese workers, the hotel is the largest employer on the island.
"Tourism has the best potential economically in Sumba but if locals are not connected to it, it will be a big disaster.
"We couldn't imagine building a hotel here without including the locals so that all would benefit."
Claude began building what became the only resort on the island -- training and employing locals from various tribes and encouraging inter-tribal marriages, to assist in easing tensions.
The hotel soft opened in 2001 and had its first full year in 2005. Keen to protect the highly regarded surf spot from the overuse and abuse displayed in places like Bali, Graves restricted the number of surfers allowed at the hotel at any one time.
He eventually acquired around 600 acres but developed only a small portion of that, impacting as little of the environment as he could.
40 of Indonesia's best dishes
The Sumba Foundation
Quickly, the location became something of a surf icon, attracting to this day those chasing that perfect wave. A natural reef provides a clean, rolling break.
It also drew Sean Downs, a U.S. businessman who was so taken by the location, the people of Sumba and their needs, that he established
the Sumba Foundation
with Graves in 2001.
The foundation now impacts and supports around 120 square miles around the hotel and has directly reduced malaria infection rates by 85% in the 400-plus villages in that area. There are now five health clinics as well as malnutrition programs in the area, created from some of the approximate $5 million donated to the foundation so far.
The foundation supports several schools and has built more than 60 water wells and around 250 water stations.
The latter has been key in helping to empower communities, says Rudi Weru, the on-the-ground manager and part of a team of around three dozen full-time Sumba Foundation staff.
"Now people don't have to spend their whole day traveling to fetch water. Instead, children for instance can go to school and learn," Weru says.
Indonesia's 'tree of life'
A young child is weighed at a malnutrion center. Almost half of 70 children registered at the center were found to be underweight.
The Sumba Foundation is independent financially from the hotel, but draws on donations from Nihiwatu guests, the wealthier of which account for a high percentage of donations and thus impact directly the tens of thousands of locals the foundation supports.
"More and more these days people want to have a purpose with traveling. It's not enough where people go and lie down on the beach and have a drink," says Dr Claus Boch, the foundation's health program director.
"You can't just come and enjoy the beauty of the place without giving back. So I think it really works extremely well between the hotel, the foundation and what we do."
Because of its association with the foundation and integration with the environment and local communities and customs, the hotel has won a raft of
responsible and sustainable tourism awards
Graves hopes his model is transferable elsewhere.
"Places like this that are leading the way will influence older hotels and sections of the industry. Clients will demand it. People will say I am not going to that hotel and instead go to where they feel their money is being well spent," Graves says.
The hotel is the largest employer on the island with around 300 full-time Subanese staff plus 150 daily workers -- making up more than 90% of its total workforce.
Dato Daku is among the original employees.
For him the experience at Nihiwatu -- from a daily worker to gardener to restaurant waiter -- is easily summed up.
"I want to die here," the father of three boys and three girls told CNN during a visit to Sumba last year.
"In Sumba it is difficult to find a job. It has helped a lot of local people find work. I can send my brothers and sisters and children to university or other parts of Indonesia now."
More than surfing
The hotel has 22 exceptional open-plan villas, designed to be low impact, drawing on Graves' philosophy and vision of integration by utilizing local designs, materials and construction techniques.
Experiences for Nihiwatu guests can include trips to nearby villages and clinics or programs the Sumba Foundation runs or supports.
"You can go into the villages, you can experience daily life, you can go to the markets and you can contribute if you want. And most do because they want to and it's not a tough sell. They really want to be a part of it and they really want to keep coming back to see the good work they've done," says James McBride, managing partner at Nihiwatu.
The Wave remains the most famous draw card, luring surfers from the world over, and limits itself to 10 surfers at the break per day.
Another 10 villas are due to be completed by March 2015 -- part of a plan to host those keen on more than just surfing.
Indeed, for those like this writer, not able to ride a board, there's a lot more to Nihiwatu than surfing. The range of activities available includes a full range of spa options, waterfall hikes, biking, scuba diving and snorkeling, yoga, day trips and horseback riding.
The hotel has 22 villas with 10 more on the way.
A stand up paddleboard trip to nearby Wanukaku river is thoroughly recommended, but be warned of smiling local kids who dive bomb paddlers at every opportunity.
19 top budget-busting vacation experiences
Graves recently stepped back from his role at the hotel, selling it to new owner Chris Burch, who has partnered with shareholder and established hotel manager, McBride.
Graves is in and out of Sumba and still focused on the Foundation now that there are a regular batch of guests that keep returning -- many of them keen to see the continued progress their support for the foundation has made.
"We've proven that if you get it right, guests will come back. Guests get involved and it is beneficial for all," Graves says. And this guest just might even be able to surf next time around.
11 of the world's most unusual surf spots
How to get there
All profits from Nihiwatu go to the Sumba Foundation. You can make donations or
find out more about the foundation here.
Rates are all inclusive (food, drinks, activities) with some optional extras.
Accommodation starts at $495 per person per night for the rest of 2014, based on double occupancy and are exclusive of VAT and service charges.
From March 2015, full board rates (food and non-alcoholic drinks) start at $900 per room per night based on the size of the villa. Activities are at an additional cost.
There's a minimum stay of three or seven days, depending on the season (high season runs mid-June to mid-October).
Nihiwatu is closed January and February.
There are three flights daily to Sumba's Tambolaka airport on the west of the island (plus a weekly charter flight) and the hotel will organize transfers.
Flight connections are made via Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar.

Posted on June 28, 2006
The quarter-finals of Germany 2006 are now set with some monumental match ups looming. G6 Journal's Heath Young recaps how the final 8 got there and what is to come.
Here is where we separate the men from the boys, the wheat from the chaff, and any other cliché you might be fond of. It's quarter-final time where the true contenders emerge as they get close enough to almost touch the glittering cup.
The survivors:
Germany – After topping their group, the hosts got through their second rounder against Sweden on two early strikes both by the precocious Podolski. Coupling typically stingy German defense with the new attacking style Jurgen Klinsman has designed is a deadly combination and they will be a tough out for anyone.
Argentina – Argentina stumbled just a bit, allowing Mexico to take them to overtime in their first knockout match, but this team is deep, with quality all over the field. If Argentina find themselves needing an equalizer or go ahead goal in the 70th minute, they have multiple supersubs to choose from to give them that offensive spark. Even Brazil should fear this team.
Italy – Italy survived a very tough group and the round of 16, but have eked out a couple of wins by the slightest of margins, most notably in the second round where a questionable penalty kick in the 95th minute was all that saved the Azzuri from having to go to extra time with Australia's Socceroos.
Ukraine – Perhaps the party crasher in this group, the Ukraine's journey has been a roller coaster ride. After being thrashed by Spain 4-0, they dished out a drumming in equal measure to the Saudis. Surviving on penalties in the round of 16 against Switzerland, the Ukrainians are just happy to be here.
England – England's performance may have gotten them this far, but has been less than advertised for the talented squad. With tight victories, one secured by an own goal another by a lone set piece, they have not shown the fluidity or precision expected of them. However, they have scrapped and found ways to come out on top in these close matches, which is often what is required in the knockout rounds.
Portugal – The Portuguese have played their typical possession game, controlling the midfield and breaking out on surging runs. With a series of closely contested matches in this World Cup, they have yet to dazzle, but have done enough to get through, narrowly surviving vs. the Netherlands in a match marred by cards and flaring tempers.
Brazil – Beginning to show their flair after a somewhat subdued group stage, the goals are coming in bunches of late. Though the blue and yellow have not yet faced a top tier opponent in this World Cup, they are heating up at just the right time and starting to put together the complex combination play that stymies the competition.
France – The French have stuttered and stumbled their way into the quarter-finals hoping to erase memories of the debacle that was their 2002 campaign, but a phenomenal performance by Frank Ribery and the badly needed contributions of Vieri and Zidane vaulted them beyond a Brilliant Spanish side and into the final 8.
The match ups:
Germany vs. Argentina – An epic pairing, I see the winner of this match as the likely challenger for the finals. With both sides in excellent form, the Germans have the advantage of being the host nation, but they will have to do their damage early, as the scales tip toward Argentina the longer this game stays close. The South Americans simply have too many attacking threats to bring off the bench.
Italy vs. Ukraine – Though Shevchenko has looked dangerous and Italy have been a bit suspect, experience plays a big role at this stage. The Azzuri have been here before, won here before and find ways to advance, advantage Italy.
England vs. Portugal – This match is a toss up, given that neither team has been overly convincing in their play leading up to this quarter-final. The English are still searching for an offensive formula, but may have the upper hand considering Ronaldo is questionable for Portugal, and Deco and Costinha will miss the match due to cards.
Brazil vs. France – A rematch of the 1998 final, this is sure to be a charged atmosphere with players on both sides that were there for France 98. The French have yet to play their best football, but the win over Spain was a big confidence builder. Brazil have coasted thus far and look poised to continue, but memory is a motivator and I expect the French to at least make it interesting.

> Diamondite® Glass Cleaning System Kit
Diamondite® Glass Cleaning System Kit
U.S. Patent No.7,282,100
See clearly, drive safely.
Your vehicle is bombarded by pollution every day; acid rain, industrial fallout, rail dust, tree sap mist, tar, mineral deposits, and salt. A glass cleaner – even a good one – cannot remove contamination that has bonded and, in some cases, has become embedded in the glass. But the Diamondite Glass Cleaning & Protection System can.
The Diamondite Glass Cleaning & Protection System was the first glass cleaning kit to address not just the dirt on the outside of the glass, but also the debris lodged
the glass. Using first-of-its-kind Spray Clay, this kit cleans glass deep within its microscopic channels until it is once again
as smooth as glass!
The Diamondite Glass Cleaning & Protection System includes:
6 oz. Glass and Surface Cleaner
6 oz. Spray Clay™
Speed Sponge
5 oz. Shield
Spray Clay
The nucleus of the Diamondite Glass Cleaning & Protection System is Diamondite Spray Clay™.
This product makes it easy for anyone to make a significant change in the appearance of dirty, aged auto glass.
Using kaolin clay, Spray Clay™ bonds to contaminants, even oil, and completely removes them.
Kaolin clay is an ultra pure clay that naturally absorbs oil and collects dirt from any surface to which it is applied, including your skin. Kaolin clay is found in countless cosmetic products due to its cleansing properties. Diamondite applies those same properties to car care and the results are amazing.
Spray Clay pulls oil and dirt out of the glass' "pores", microscopic channels that collect debris and oil from the road. Combined with lubricants, kaolin clay deep cleans glass without scratching. Spray Clay™ removes oil, dirt, tar, tree sap mist, insects, industrial fallout, environmental contaminants, rail dust, mineral deposits, and more. The kaolin molecules grab and absorb foreign particles on the glass to leave it
perfectly smooth and optically clear
Diamondite Spray Clay™ cleans without compounding, and it is acid and silicone-free.
Simply stated, there is no other product like it.
The Speed Sponge enables Spray Clay™ to loosen and remove contaminants from the glass with greater ease. The lubricants in Spray Clay prevent scratches as the Speed Sponge helps erase water spots.
Glass and Surface Cleaner
Diamondite Glass and Surface Cleaner is a foaming aerosol cleaner super-charged with special detergents that target and remove embedded contaminants from the glass' microscopic grooves. The foaming cleansers actively surround and lift oil and dirt deposits so they easily wipe away. Use Diamondite Glass and Surface Cleaner to prep the glass for Spray Clay™ and then following Spray Clay™ to remove any remaining residue. All glass cleaners are not made equal; Diamondite Glass and Surface Cleaner is in a league of its own when it comes to clean glass.
Diamondite Shield is a polymer protectant that seals fine scratches and chips to create a smooth, uniform surface. This coating increases visual acuity and provides scratch resistance against everyday threats, like sand and small stones. The polymers reduce surface friction to allow water to bead and roll off. You will experience better visibility in the rain and at night. The slick Shield also deters dirt and ice from bonding to the glass for easier removal. Diamondite Shield protects your windshield and windows from water spots and acid rain damage with a crystal clear, repellant coating. See clearly, drive safely.
Before you begin…
Clean the glass well with Diamondite Glass and Surface Cleaner and a Waffle Weave Glass Towel.
Step 1
– Spray Clay & Glass and Surface Cleaner
Shake the can of Spray Clay™ well. Invert the can and spay a line of Spray Clay™ about 1 ft. long across the glass. Use the Speed Sponge to spread the Spray Clay™, using very little pressure. Rub lightly back and forth over the Spray Clay. Let the clay dry to a haze and then buff off using a microfiber towel and Diamondite Glass and Surface Cleaner. Continue in this manner until you have cleaned all windows and the windshield.
Step 2
– Shield
Shake well. Spray the glass with a light coat of Diamondite Shield. Let the coating dry until tacky (about 5 minutes). Use a soft, clean microfiber towel to buff the glass until clean. If the glass is excessively hazy, remove Diamondite Shield with a damp towel and then buff dry. The coating will completely cure in 24 hours. Clean the glass regularly with Diamondite Glass & Surface Cleaner to prevent contaminants from sticking to the glass.
The Diamondite Glass Cleaning & Protection System will treat the glass on 5-6 vehicles.

I would recommend this item to a friend.
Clean that glass or the only thing better than this, is brand new
April 26, 2014
I don't give many products five stars, but when I do, they are well worth eight. For years, I have been using the Diamdonite Glass Cleaning System Kit (about 2002) to clean my windshields, it is the only thing that I have sen, that works. I initially picked it up, when a windshield started looking like alligator skin (bad windshields are very common in the PNW) when it rained, & I was at wits end. I read the product description from the company I picked it up from, & it sounded like what I was after. It sure was!! I've washed more than my share of windshields, even using a mix of turpentine & acetone, for the deep down clean, so was surprised at how many steps were needed by this kit. I always follow the directions the first time, & am very glad that I did. Giving it a 24 hour curing time was the most difficult here in the raining state, but I kept the car parked for the full time. Water beaded off like it was new, the alligator (baggies brand sandwich bag) look was gone, & the wipers actually whisked away the rain with out smearing or streaking. So it was this product that I looked for (the other company stopped carrying it), when this new vehicle's windshield started losing it's smoothness, the wipers started chattering & the like. I didn't have 24 hours before the next rain came, more like two hours & five minutes, but the protection is working fine. I don't suggest cutting it that quick, as I figure I'll have to start over in a month or two because of it (but want the protection now & took the chance). The protection lasts about six or eight months & starts to fade in about a year to 18 months. Much depends on how many times you wash it, or drive into the pounding rain at 90 (I guess). I tired applying another coat sooner, but that seemed to muck things up & had to take steel wool to the windshield to strip it all off & start over. So if you're frugal, just wait till the screen looks bad again in about 18-24 months, wash it normally & put a new coat on. There is enough in there for about three or four windshields (depending on your size etc). I like to do all of the glass. Well, actually the back window, & use the clay rag on the side windows & mirrors. This is also good for wiper marks & superficial scratches (like steel wool ;}) ), is fantastic after the fact, in cleaning inside glass & mirrors, & may even be a great floor cleaner (but I wouldn't use it as a dessert topping) for all I know.
Actually works. One kit goes a long way. Easy enough to use. Comes with a sponge scrubby that doesn't fold in your hand while you use it. Probably good on the paint too, as it says, but I haven't tried the clay there, I want it for the glass. Residue clay (on rag) is fantastic for cleaning inside glass & mirrors. Rags & sponge wash out very easily.
Shows those pits, chips & stars once cleaned, but "protected" after stage 3. I didn't get a rag (pictured) in any of these last two kits I got. Hard to find pieces individually. BE CAREFUL of over spray!! This stuff is murder on rubber. Propellent is very strong. Over spraying is very easy.

BEWARE ! - DO NOT USE the included speed sponge ! Or as I would call it "Scouring PAD". This thing WILL scratch your glass. Thank god (and I mean that) I tested this out on my daily work beater's rear hatch window. As it put a lot of light marring into the glass. Upon further testing, the only way this sponge will not induce marring is if you use absolutely zero pressure and just glide it along the glass with a lot of lubrication used. But at that point you might as well use a foam or microfiber applicator pad for similar, but safe results. Besides the insanely dangerous scouring pad, the products work very well. the spray on cleaner does an excellent job of stripping the glass, the spray on clay cleans deep down into the pits and pores of the glass and is a pleasure to use, and the protectant is easy to apply and level off the glass for a smooth looking surface. Unfortunately its all ruined with the included tool. If I used this product on my garage queen without first testing I would have literally passed out if I scratched all the glass on the vehicle. Have you ever attempted to remove scratch's from glass ? Its not fun. Did anyone test out these tools before putting this kit together ? I just dont understand how this got through trials and wound up on the product page for sale. High quality products ruined by a 50 cent scouring pad. its a shame.

2 out of 3 ain' bad.

I will admit, I was confused when I was reading the cans of the trio. When I figured out that I had to clean then clay then clean again then shield I was on my way. 1st, I used the products on a newer car so there was not as much dirt and grime contaminating the glass but I went ahead and used the clay, mainly because I wanted my windows as pretty as the video. The cleaner and clay worked great, when I went to use the shield, the can had a malfunction. The product came out the bottom of the spray head and would not shut off (that is why only 3 stars). So I can not rate the shield, I used my stand-by stuff and love the way the windows came out. I believe it had a lot to do with the spray clay. BTW, when using the clay, make sure you tape off the trim around the windows. A white film attaches to the trim and is worse to get off then wax. Thank-you for making a very nice product.

This sttuff does NOT work! - I have wiper streaks. I followed their directions exactly. --This didn't faze them at all. It left it's own streaks.- I had to go get windex to get the Diamondite streaks off. -- If you like hard work with no results, this stuff is for you.
1 Stars
Simply, DOES NOT WORK.
August 15, 2009
Applied twice as directed.....it cleaned absolutely nothing and water does not bead off when it rain....instead it causes a smear.....lots of work for nothing. I don't recommend it.

My wife's glass is clean, clean, clean...no more water spots. I love this stuff. Each product is very easy to use and to buff off.

must be seen to be believed !
March 19, 2006
nothing can compare to the cleaning power and protection of this system on glass. use the clay to remove those ugly waterspots and etching. follow up with the cleaner and finish with the shield. your windows will be cleaner and clearer than ever before. water just sheets of the windows like a waterfall ! the best part is this stuff lasts for months !

Euclid Hall finds a niche in Denver dining
The Euclidean cheesesteak
Mark Manger
Euclid Hall, 1317 14th Street, the third restaurant within one block for partners Jennifer Jasinski and Beth Gruitch, who also own Rioja and Bistro Vendome, was one of the hottest openings of the summer.
The crowds packed into the beautifully refurbished space that most recently held the grimy Martini Ranch for the chef's take on classic tavern food. Almost three months later, those hordes of people are still there, pairing beers from the vast, interesting list with upscale drinking food, eating housemade sausages by the pound and fried pigs ears by the basket.
Foie gras mini poutine
Mark Manger
I finally joined them a few weeks ago, and began a dizzying tour through the artery-clogging world of schnitzel and bone marrow and fried cheese curds. I tasted four housemade mustards and house-ground blood sausage and house-cured pickles. And, of course, I licked my chops at the very mention of rich, gravy-coated poutine, exploring several renditions of the dish over the course of my meals at the restaurant.
Mark Manger
By the time my sourdough waffle ice cream sandwich arrived at the end of my first meal, I knew that Euclid Hall was different. Different from any restaurant in Denver, sure, but also different from the other restaurants run by Jasinski and Gruitch.
Prepare for plenty of meat when my review, and a slideshow, is posted here tomorrow.

A Long Ditton pub has been voted the pub of the winter season.
The Ditton, Ditton Hill Road, was presented with a certificate by the Kingston and Leatherhead branch of Camra last month for its selection of real ales and the work it has done to raise the profile of the drinks.
The pub holds its second beer festival this summer, which runs from June 6 to 8.

Earlier accident causes traffic queues
Traffic is queueing on the A40 Northern By-Pass eastbound in Wolvercote in Oxfordshire. It's due to an earlier accident at the A44 Woodstock Road/Godstow Road/ Five Mile Drive (Wolvercote Roundabout). Congestion stretches on the A40 to the B4022 (Witney East).
Canal boat body still a mystery
Thames Valley Police have failed to identify a man found dead on a canal boat in Oxfordshire.
The human remains were found following a fire onboard the boat moored on the canal near to the Peartree Roundabout at Wolvercote on November the 16th.
Det Insp Mike Lynch, leading the investigation, said: "We have been working hard to positively identify the person involved. We have so far established the human remains were from the body of an adult male."
The owner of the boat was earlier this week named as 49-year-old Kevin Pryor. Police are continuing to urge anyone who has information on Mr Pryor's movements in the past few weeks to get in touch.
Witnesses sought after houseboat fire
Thames Valley Police have launched a witness appeal after a houseboat moored in Oxford was set on fire. Officers were called to the scene at the canal in Wolvercote near the Peartree Roundabout at around 11pm on the night of Friday 16th November.
Anyone with information can contact Thames Valley Police by telephoning 101. Or by calling the Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Why was a statin indicated in the first place? Did I miss something? Has Statin Big Pharma gotten so desperate in its thinking that it believes statins are a miracle cure-all? I am amazed at the various studies in which it is used... In this article, the two statements, "Looking just at statin-naïve patients, the drug narrowly avoided being significantly worse than placebo for 28-day mortality" and "Because of the early trial termination, the group cautioned that their study couldn't completely rule out a small benefit from simvastatin in ICU patients with infection." make absolutely no sense. Maybe I am reading this way too early in the morning and missed something that might have made this article make some sense. I somehow doubt it..
Greg MS RPh
headline, statin trial terminated early for killing ICU patients with hospital acquired infections. Name of statin withheld to protect corporate profits..

Love it, Greg! Could not have put it better!.

Dr D, not sure if I missed it or just too busy banging my head on the desk. Seems that you, and the other posters did a fantastic job. We will have to live with this BS until people realize that lowering LDL is not necessarily a good thing or that a low fat diet will always fail to move your numbers. Diet and lifestyle only work if you know which diets and lifestyles to follow and you know which values have value. trigs / hdl = less than one That's a value..
Disgusted MD
Greg: Please be careful with head banging. There may be an obscure study (with 1 subject) done by Big Pharma showing the amazing benefits of a statin and brain injury from head banging. No side effects noted, no conflicts of interests claimed, etc..
