Social plugins are deactivated initially and do not establish contact with Facebook servers or other operators of social networks without activation. If you activate these deactivated plug-ins by clicking on the "Activate Social Media" button on our website, you thereby declare your consent to the transmission of the personal data described in this section to the social networks. In this case, the processing is legally based on Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter a) GDPR. After activation, the social plugins establish a connection to the respective social network. With a further click you can then send a recommendation within the respective social network. If you are already logged in to a social network while you are visiting our websites, no further login dialog may be displayed. The consent can be cancelled at any time by clicking on the "Deactivate Social Media" button. If you activate the social plugins that are deactivated by default, a connection is established with the social network servers. Each social plugin then transmits data to the respective social network. We have no influence on the amount of data that the respective social network collects with the help of the social plugin. As far as we know, social networks receive information about which of our websites you have visited currently and previously. With each activated social plugin, a cookie with a unique identifier is set each time the relevant website is called. This enables the social network to create a profile of your usage behavior. It cannot be ruled out that such a profile can be assigned to you even if you register with the social network for the first time at a later date. If you are already logged in to a social network when you visit our websites, the operator of this social network may be able to assign the visit to your personal account as soon as you activate the social plug-ins. When using social plugin functions (e.g. "Like" button, making a comment or "Tweets"), the information about this is transmitted directly from your browser to the corresponding social network and stored there. The same applies when calling up a website of a social media operator by clicking on the corresponding icon button. If you are not a member of a social network, the social networks may still receive and store your IP address and information about the browser and operating system you are using after you activate the social plugins. For the scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of the data by social networks and information on rights and recruitment options for the protection of your privacy, please refer to the data protection information. Our websites also contains simple links to Facebook and Twitter. In this case, a data transfer to the social media operators mentioned only takes place when the corresponding icon button (e.g. the "f" of Facebook, the bird symbol of Twitter) is clicked. If you click on such an icon button, a page of the corresponding social media operator opens in a popup window. There you can publish information about our products according to the regulations of the social media operator. f) Data Recipients We are part of the METRO company group, which is internationally active. To achieve the purposes mentioned above under 2.a) and b), we use service providers, i.e. as data processors according to Art. 28 GDPR, for example our service providers for cloud hosting, platform and maintenance services, for the sending of e-mails and SMS, for customer service and for contact by telephone or for personalized advertising. These are external service providers and also service providers within the METRO company group, like METRO shared service centers, which are located in countries within and outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) (i.e. the international data center of METRO, which is operated by the METRO-NOM GmbH). We ensure i.e. by contractual regulations, that these service providers process personal data in accordance with European data protection law to guarantee a high data protection level, even if personal data are transferred into a country, in which another data protection level is common and for which no adequacy decision of the Commission of the EU exists. Another transfer of personal data to other recipients is not performed, except where we are obliged to do so by law. For more information about appropriate safeguards for the international data transfer or a copy of them, please contact our data protection officer via e-mail (see contact details above under 1. c)). g) Mandatory/Voluntary Data Provision and Retention Period The provision of your personal data is voluntary. You are neither obliged to provide your personal data to us, nor is this provision necessary to fulfill a statutory or contractual requirement (unless you register as a business owner, in this case the provision of the data mentioned under section 2.c) is necessary for the performance of the contract). If you do not provide your personal data to us, this will not result in any consequences for you, except that you will not be able to use our services. Personal data provided to us via our website will only be stored until the purpose for which they were processed has been fulfilled. Since Own Business Day is a recurring event, we will store your account registration data in order to make future registrations easier for you. Insofar as retention periods under commercial and tax law have to be observed, the storage period for certain data can be up to 10 years. Deviating storage periods may also arise due to a legitimate interest of METRO (e.g. to guarantee data security, to prevent misuse or to prosecute criminal offenders). Data that we have to store due to legal, statutory or contractual storage obligations will be blocked. h) Transfer of Data into Third Countries We may transfer your data to parties based in states outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) ("third countries") who are acting as processors on our behalf (e.g. IT service providers or data centers). If there is no decision of the EU Commission regarding an adequate level of data protection in the country concerned, we conclude contracts in accordance with EU data protection rules, which ensure that your rights and freedoms are adequately protected and safeguarded. Alternatively, the data transfer is based on Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1250 of 12 July 2016 pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the adequacy of the protection provided by the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. We will be happy to provide you with the relevant, detailed information upon request. We do not otherwise transfer your personal data to countries outside the EU or the EEA or to international organizations. i) Automated Decision Making/Profiling We do not use automated decision making or profiling (an automated analysis of your personal circumstances). 3. Your Rights As a data subject, you can contact our data protection officer at any time with a formless notification under the contact dates mentioned above under 1. c) to exercise your rights according to the GDPR. These rights are the following: • The right to receive information about the data processing and a copy of the processed data (right to access, Art. 15 GDPR), • The right to demand the rectification of inaccurate data or the completion of incomplete data (right to rectification, Art. 16 GDPR), • The right to demand the erasure of personal data and, in case the personal data have been made public, the information towards other controllers about the request of erasure (right to erasure, Art. 17 GDPR), • The right to demand the restriction of the data processing (right to restriction of processing, Art. 18 GDPR), • The right to receive the personal data concerning the data subject in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to request the transmittance of these data to another controller (right to data portability, Art. 20 GDPR), • The right to object the data processing in order to stop it (right to object, Art. 21 GDPR), • The right to withdraw a given consent at any time to stop a data processing that is based on your consent. The withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent before the withdrawal (right to withdraw consent, Art. 7 GDPR). • The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider the data processing to be an infringement of the GDPR (right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, Art. 77 GDPR). Information about your right to Object pursuant to art. 21 GDPR You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests) or art. 6 para. 1 e GDPR (data processing in the public interest), if there are reasons to object arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of art. 4 No. 4 GDPR. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data, unless we can prove compelling and applicable reasons for the processing, which out-weigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. The objection can be made without formality and should be addressed to the contact details at the beginning of these Data Protection Notices.

This luxury holiday focuses on the beautiful stretch of coastline between Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, the Costa Verde, and is ideal for those who are not looking to travel too far in such a vast country. Begin in the wonderful city of Rio de Janeiro with its iconic sights before heading along the coast to the 'Big Island' of Ilha Grande where you can enjoy a boat ride around the island and then continue to a stunning pousada in Picinguaba, small fishing village. The trip ends at a beautiful countryside fazenda to see a different side of Brazil, all in luxury accommodation.
Fly to Rio de Janeiro where upon arrival you will be met at the airport and taken to your hotel. Flights to Rio from Europe generally arrive either in the early morning or late in the evening. The remainder of the day will be free for you to relax.
The Porto Bay Hotel has a great location and offers three room types; superior, deluxe and suites, all of which are immaculately presented and all have views of the ocean. The restaurant in the hotel offers fabulous food but also a wonderful panoramic view over Copacabana beach whereas the Bar Limone is the perfect spot for a caipirinha or for a bit of dancing. Everyone will love the rooftop. Complete with pool and bar with superb views of Sugar Loaf and Copacabana beach this is a great place to spend a few hours, lazing in the sun or sipping cocktails as the sun goes down.
After breakfast you will be met by your private English speaking guide and depart for Corcovado to see the most famous of all images of Rio, the statue of Christ the Redeemer. The views from the top are breathtaking and make you realise why Rio is considered by many as the most beautiful city in the world.
This afternoon you will head off to explore Sugar Loaf Mountain. This granite rock is an iconic Rio landmark and from the top you'll once again have the most wonderful views of the whole city, its beaches and a breathtaking view of Guanabara Bay. It's a great place to watch the sun set over the city.
This morning a private driver will collect you and you will be transferred along the coast to the town of Angra dos Reis from where you will board a ferry to Ilha Grande. On arrival at the island you will be transferred to your hotel for the next few nights. Over the next few days you will be able to relax on the beaches of Ilha Grande and also enjoy a boat trip around to the stunning Lopes Mendes beach, one of the finest in Brazil.
The Sagu Mini Resort is nestled in the lush Atlantic Rainforest, with a view of the calm waters of the Bay of Abraão, at 10 minutes walking from the village, between Comprida and Brava Beaches. Simple yet elegant, the 9 rooms are spacious, featuring two suites located on different levels. All the rooms have a private veranda with a conveniently placed hammock so guests can appreciate the enchanting sunset. The rooms are also equipped with air conditioning, a mini-bar, an orthopaedic mattress, spacious bathrooms, an overhead fan, a mosquito net, a telephone.
This morning you will take a boat back to the mainland where you will be met by a private driver an continue south along the coast and past Paraty to the small fishing village of Picinguaba. Set against the backdrop of the Atlantic rainforest Picinguaba contains some stunning beaches and is a wonderful place to spend a few days. Picinguaba is home to a beautiful pousada which bears the name of the village and is rightly considers as one of the finest small properties to stay at in Brazil.
Pousada Picinguaba lies 30 minutes south of the colonial town of Paraty in a relatively isolated location but it is that location that makes this hotel so very special. The hotel faces the sea and a 3-km long secluded beach. Inside the hotel there are 9 deluxe rooms, one suite and also a private villa and all the accommodation opens out to either the natural surroundings or the sea. Each room has a private balcony and hammock and all the rooms are designed with simplicity in mind. All are without TV, telephone or internet to provide you with that total escape from the outside world and the totally relaxing break you deserve.
A private driver will collect you today and transfer you further south towards Sao Paulo and into the rolling hills close to the town of São Luiz do Paraitinga. Here lies a beautiful fazenda set in stunning countryside which is set up to cater to all tastes, whether you want to relax and enjoy the peace and tranquillity or you are looking for something more adventurous. The numerous activities in the area such as trekking, horse riding, rafting and bird watching mean you will never be short of things to do. What better way to relax than with a caipirinha in hand, watching the sun set over the rolling hills?
The Fazenda Catuçaba is very much focussed on simple elegance and total peace and harmony and as such there are no TVs or internet access and there is no mobile signal. There are many works of art, produced by the various artists in residence who regularly come to stay at the fazenda for peace and inspiration. The 10 ensuite classic rooms are equipped with king size beds, Egyptian cotton bed linen and unique fireplaces and black stone baths. Their are also private villas ranging from the 'master', through rustic to 'designer'. Many are original buildings from the 1800s, some facing the lake for swimming, or with waterfalls nearby.
Following a private transfer to Sao Paulo international airport, today you will wave goodbye to Brazil and board a flight back to the UK after what will have been an unforgettable Brazil holiday.
This is a guide price based on the use of standard rooms at low season, all transfers and direct international flights (from Europe).

heirloom quality journals. My hardest decision was deciding which one to pick. They were all
beautiful and very professionally made. Mary Ellen is adroit in her artisanship – each book is a
stunner. The cover draws you into the book, and hidden inside are beautiful hand painted
papers preceding archival quality paper. You can fill it with your daydreams, secrets, drawings,
prayers and Bible verses, or anything your heart desires. Indulge yourself!" – H. E.

The photograph was taken at Soidinsuo swamp in Nuuksio on April 1st.
This week I have commuted through the central park in Helsinki. I had forgotten how good it feels. And today I met horses both in the morning and afternoon while riding the bicycle. During the winter one needs to go through crowded streets and stop at traffic lights in Pasila.
Also, I realized today that this winter I didn't crash while riding the bicycle in slippery conditions. I installed studded winter tires quite early, and switched to summer tires when the spring was quite advanced already. Studded winter tires have many problems, but they are necessary when there is ice and snow on the road.

Source material: Miracle at St. Anna by James McBride
Book overview: In 1944 Tuscany, four soldiers from the U.S. Army's all-"colored" 92nd Infantry find themselves trapped behind German lines in a small town when one of them attempts to rescue an orphaned Italian boy. McBride skillfully avoids wartime clichés, capturing the unique psychology of black soldiers in a segregated era. His precise characterizations of both the soldiers and the Italian peasants make the story feel like a magnificently specific slice of history rather than something with a grandiose agenda.
Book grade: A-
Reason for adaptation optimism: McBride himself is adapting the screenplay.
Reason for adaptation concern: Director Spike Lee may be passionate about the material, but he's been known to crank up the Significance.
Film scheduled release date: Sept. 26
The movie pitch: "Saving Private Ryan meets Glory."
Source material: Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan.
Book overview: When a recently dumped musician's ex walks into a nightclub, he impulsively asks the nearest woman to pose as his girlfriend, launching an epic all-night "first date" through Manhattan. The co-authors alternate chapters from the point of view of their two protagonists, lending a wonderful multi-lensed perspective on burgeoning romance. The hipster milieu might be a bit grating, and Norah's self-loathing a little protracted, but ultimately it's smart and thoroughly engaging.
Book grade: B+
Reason for adaptation optimism: Long-awaited follow-up from director Peter Sollett (the terrific Raising Victor Vargas); Superbad's Michael Cera is perfectly cast as the sensitive Nick.
Reason for adaptation concern: Will the book's hyper-verbal internal monologues translate to cinema?
Film scheduled release date: Oct. 3
The movie pitch: "Before Sunrise meets High Fidelity."
Source material: The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau
Book overview: In a dying city surrounded by darkness and facing supply shortages, two 12-year-olds search for a way to save the citizens from impending doom. An unfortunate prologue gives away too much before the mystery has even begun, giving this kid-lit tale a certain inevitability. But DuPrau's world is well thought out, serving as both a metaphor for humanity's worst impulses in crisis and as a simple, effective adventure in its own right.
Book grade: B
Reason for adaptation optimism: Director Gil Kenan helmed the smart, under-appreciated kid-pic Monster House.
Reason for adaptation concern: The book's cliffhanger ending—setting up a sequel—may prove difficult to translate in a satisfying way.
Film scheduled release date: Oct. 10
The movie pitch: "The Golden Compass meets The Village."
Source material: Body of Lies by David Ignatius
Book overview: A CIA agent, desperate to infiltrate a terrorist network, creates an elaborate fiction to force his target into the open. Ignatius clearly has a grasp of his milieu, but this is one of those plot machines where attempts at creating "context" for the main character—an ice-queen wife, a humanitarian girlfriend—all fall flat. Engaging enough as beach reading assuming you're not looking for any political (or human) insight.
Book grade: B-
Reason for adaptation optimism: Director Ridley Scott + Russell Crowe resulted in Gladiator.
Reason for adaptation concern: Director Ridley Scott + Russell Crowe also resulted in A Good Year.
Film scheduled release date: Oct. 10
The movie pitch: "Syriana meets The Kingdom."
Source material: Marley & Me, by John Grogan
Book overview: Journalist and newspaper columnist Grogan's memoir recounts life as a newlywed and young father with a lovable, energetic, endlessly destructive Labrador retriever. Marley instantly becomes a wonderfully complex character in Grogan's hands, in exploits simultaneously hilarious and cringe-inducing. It won't just be the dog lovers whose pets were their "firstborn" left blinking back tears.
Book grade: B+
Reason for adaptation optimism: Director David Frankel did fine book-to-crowd pleaser work with The Devil Wears Prada.
Reason for adaptation concern: It's going to require a lot of tinkering to impose a narrative shape on Grogan's episodic tale.
Film scheduled release date: Dec. 25
The movie pitch: "Turner & Hooch meets Brian's Song."

Abel Tasman Biography
Born: 1603
Nationality: Dutch
Died At Age: 56
Also Known As: แอเบล แทสมัน, Тасман, Абел Янсзон, 阿贝尔·塔斯曼
Born in: Lutjegast
Famous as: Navigator
Died on: October 10, 1659
place of death: Jakarta
Recommended For You
Abel Janszoon Tasman was a Dutch explorer commissioned by the Dutch East India Company for several voyages during the 17th century. He is mainly noted for his exploration of the South Pacific in the hopes of discovering a new shipping route from Australia to South America to enhance trade possibilities for the company. During this voyage, he became the first European to discover New Zealand and Tasmania; Tasmania was later named in his honor. On a subsequent voyage, he traveled to Australia where he spent time mapping the northern coastline. Although his travels resulted in the discovery of several islands throughout the South Pacific waters, his expedition was viewed as incomplete by the Dutch East India Company. The company was disappointed that Tasman failed to find any useful shipping routes for their trading purposes. They also felt he had failed to adequately explore the islands he came across, resulting in little knowledge about those islands. Later on, Tasman met with further disgrace when he attempted to hang two of his sailors who were accused of insubordination. As a result, Tasman was suspended from his position with the company without salary. Eleven months later, he was reinstated and continued to work for the company until his retirement.
Recommended Lists:
- Abel Tasman was born in the village of Lutjegast in The Netherlands, in 1603, in a family of subsistence farmers.
- The Dutch Republic that was in power during the 17th century promoted progressive education and it is largely assumed that Tasman greatly benefitted from this program. He had good writing skills and had excellent knowledge of Latin.
- Abel Tasman joined the Dutch East India Company and on his first assignment, he was sent to Batavia (modern-day Jakarta) in 1633.
- In 1634, he was promoted to the rank of first mate of the ship, 'Weesp', and soon thereafter he became skipper of the ship 'Mocha'.
- He spent nine years guarding the South Pacific from pirates and smugglers. He also made several trade missions to Asia, including Japan, Cambodia, and Formosa (present-day Taiwan).
- In 1642, he was commissioned to lead an expedition to present-day Australia and South America in search for an ocean passage across the Pacific to Chile. He was provided with two small ships for this voyage, the Zeehaen and the Heemskerck.
- The expedition sailed to Mauritius and then headed east at higher latitude than the Dutch had explored ever before, which caused them to bypass their destination of Australia. A land mass was spotted on November 24, 1642 and Tasman named it 'Anthoni van Diemens Landt' (modern-day Tasmania) after Batavia's Governor General.
- Traveling further eastward he came upon New Zealand and named it Stated Landt, mistaking it to be connected to the land mass, named, Staten Island, at the tip of South America.
- They came ashore at Whariwharangi Bay on the South Island of present-day New Zealand where they made their initial contact with the Maoris. A brutal encounter with Maori native Ngāti Tūmatakōkiri led to the deaths of four Dutch seamen and Tasman went on to name the place Moordenaars Bay, translating to Murderers Bay.
- The voyage continued north along the west coast but failed to take note of Cook Strait that separated the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Consequently, Tasman believed New Zealand to be one complete island.
- In December of 1642, Tasman and his men celebrated the first Christmas in New Zealand while taking shelter from a storm. They continued up the west side of the North Island and discovered a cape on January 4, 1643 which they named Cape Maria Van Diemen after the Governor's wife.
- On January 21, 1643 they anchored in Tonga to stock up on supplies. The expedition continued on past Fiji but did not stop to explore the land.
- In April of 1643 the expedition reached New Guinea and then began the return journey landing in Batavia on June 15, 1643.
- The Dutch East India Company was unsatisfied with Tasman's lack of effort in exploring the lands he discovered and failing to discover a passageway that could be used as a shipping route to South America. Despite this, the proposal for a subsequent voyage was rejected, leaving New Zealand and Tasmania untouched by Europeans for a century.
- In 1644, Tasman was sent to the northern coastline of Australia to search for another passage to South America. During this time, they mapped the coast from Torres Strait to Port Hedland.
- The Dutch East India Company promoted him to the rank of skipper commander. He held a position within the Council of Justice at Batavia until 1648.
- In 1648, an intoxicated Tasman attempted to unjustly hang two of his sailors citing insubordination. One of the men almost died and Tasman was tried by the Council of Justice, receiving a suspension without pay for 11 months.
- He retired in 1653 and remained settled in Batavia where he captained a small cargo ship. He was the owner of 288 acres of land and hence a very wealthy man.
- Tasman was the first European explorer to discover New Zealand and Tasmania, both of which were explored during his 1642 voyage.
- He mapped a significant amount of Australia's northern coast during his 1644 exploration.
- Tasman married to Claesgie Heyndrix in the early 1630. They had one daughter, named, Claesjen, before Claesgie's death in 1631.
- He married Jannetje (Joanna) Tjaerts in 1632.
- He died on 10 October 1659, from unknown causes, at his home in Batavia.
- The present day island of Tasmania is named in his honor. Places within Tasmania also bear his name. These include: the Tasman Sea, the Tasman Peninsula, the Tasman Highway, the Tasman Bridge, and the Abel Tasman ferry.
- In New Zealand, the Abel Tasman National Park, the Tasman Lake, the Tasman River, the Tasman Glacier, Mount Tasman, and the Tasman Bay have been named in his honor.
- Tasman spent only 23 days exploring the vicinity of New Zealand. Despite this short period, he still holds the distinction as the first European to discover the land and has been honored by having numerous places on the island named for him.
- He was credited with an average death rate of less than 7% during his most significant voyages, a great feat in 17th century seafaring.

England have overtaken India to become the top-ranked side in ODIs following an annual update on Wednesday.
England's rise up the table is largely because of a forgettable 2014-15 season which saw them winning only seven out of 25 ODIs against other Full Members.
The 2014-15 season has been dropped from the latest calculations while those from the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons are weighted at 50 percent. This enabled them to gain eight more points to be ahead of India by three points in the second place.

South Africa who were previously second, fell down to third place and are nine points adrift of India at 113.
New Zealand maintains their fourth place in the rankings and head of neighbours and 2015 ICC World Cup Champions Australia.
India's arch-rivals Pakistan are sixth and only two points behind Australia at 102.
In other changes, Bangladesh (93 points) have gained three points, Sri Lanka (77) have lost seven points, the West Indies (69) have lost five points, Afghanistan (63) have gained five points, Zimbabwe (55) have gained four points and 12th-placed Ireland (38) have lost three points.
In the T20 rankings, Pakistan dominates the rankings by maintaining the top spot ahead of Australia and Sri Lanka.

Nice on Ice is the seventh episode of Mega Man: Fully Charged. It first aired in the United States on Cartoon Network on August 26, 2018.
Aki stops by one of Sgt. Night's televised anti-robot speeches and tells him he's wrong about humans and robots not living together--they should be together all the time. Cryogenic robot Ice Man interprets Aki's words literally and resolves to freeze people together in order to spread harmony. Aki gets caught for nearly cutting class, but has to run again when Ice Man shows up and freezes the students and faculty together, including himself and Suna. With Suna's help, Mega Man learns to take things slow and defeats Ice Man. Principal 100100 takes Ice Man away to educate him better on being a good robot.
- The pixelated scene with Ice Man running around freezing together humans and robots, features a modified theme music of Ice Man's stage from the first Mega Man game.

1. You can use USD or BZD
Everything is priced in both US and Belize dollars. Some places won't even have things priced in BZD and only in USD but will accept both. You'll notice too that sometimes they will give you change in US because that's all they have. So if you have USD and don't want to convert it you will have no problem!
2. Find Happy Hours or Drink Beer
Alcohol, just like almost everything else in Belize (and especially on the islands) is expensive. Beers are always the cheapest options – especially domestic ones which are actually quite good. If you aren't into beers then it's not hard to find a good happy hour either!
3. Take taxi's in Belize City
Belize City is not the safest city in the world. Most locals will recommend that you don't walk around and tourists will advise you to just get out right away. Belize city can be dangerous and it's not very nice anyways. Even if you have a flight in the morning/afternoon I would recommend staying somewhere else and then taking a taxi to the airport in the morning. Even for a 10 minute walk you should take a taxi unless you know the area and you are with a group of people. Taxi's are not expensive at all – it cost us only 2 USD each to get from the bus terminal to the ferry port.
4. Free Yoga on Caye Caulker @ RandOM Yoga
This yoga studio, RandOM Yoga, is phenomenal. The teacher, Jessie Wigh, does an amazing job making the class suitable for all abilities. She also has it set up so that the class is donation based so that everyone is able to have yoga in their lives. She leaves a little jar out after class and if you can afford to, then you can put money in it at the end. The yoga class is on the roof of Namaste Cafe so there's a beautiful view and great breeze.
5. Flight over the blue hole only 200 USD – diving in the blue hole 300 USD
Ah, the magical Belize Blue Hole. This is a definite highlight for a lot of travellers to Belize. Personally, it was one of the only things I knew about Belize before I spontaneously decided to go. Seeing the blue hole was a top priority for me. As I'm not a scuba diver we decided to charter a plane and do a scenic flight over it. That's really the only way you'll be able to actually see the shape of the blue hole – otherwise you can dive in it but you won't really get to see it. The flight set us back only 200 USD and was one of the coolest experiences I have had! If you are a diver and you want to do the dive then be prepared to save some money – diving in the blue hole will cost you about 300 USD.
6. English is the national language !!
Who thought they spoke Spanish in Belize?! Okay, well I did. It was so strange to go from travelling surrounding countries to Belize because everyone speaks English!!! No more embarrassing yourself with your poor Spanish skills WEOOO!
7. Bring bug spray for Caye Caulker
If you're like me and get eaten alive by bugs then you're going to want some bug spray for when the sun sets in Caye Caulker. I'm not sure if this is a year round thing but when I was there as soon as the sun would go down the bugs would come out and it would be incredibly uncomfortable if you didn't have any bug spray!
8. Grocery shop
Sadly, food is expensive in Belize and especially on the islands. If you're on a budget the cheapest way to eat is to just grocery shop and cook at your hostel. Most restaurants will set you back about 20 BZD for a meal which can add up quite quickly. If you don't mind spending the money though, there are some VERY delicious places to eat around Caye Caulker!
9. Wifi Everywhere
Wifi is everywhere here! You can get it at hotels, restaurants, and even some beaches.
10. Go to KOKO King
KOKO King is this beautiful beach that is on an island right by Caye Caulker. You need to take a boat to get there (or you could kayak too!). There's a free boat from Caye Caulker and if you buy something from the restaurant it's free on the way back too. The beach is stunning here, you will not regret coming!!!
Enjoy Belize!

Imagine this scenario at the local Wal-Mart. A young mom, toddlers in tow, wheels her cart into the book aisle. Momentarily ignoring the kids, she scrutinizes the eye-catching titles and brightly colored dust jackets of the 2003 titles.
She begins with television personality Dr. Phil McGraw's The Ultimate Weight Solution, then puzzles over Alan Paton's 1948 classic Cry, the Beloved Country, with its bold blue and orange sticker proclaiming it "The newest selection from Oprah's Book Club." She skips the eclectic mix of liberal and conservative titles, including Bill O'Reilly's Who's Looking Out for You? and Laura Ingraham's polemical Shut Up and Sing. Yet she can't miss the equally provocative Michael Moore's Dude, Where's My Country? nor Hillary Clinton's highly-touted Living History.
Then she spots Steve Martin's new book, The Pleasure of My Company, which she remembers Martin discussing on Aaron Brown's NewsNight on CNN. She vaguely recognizes the names of the rest of the pack, the best-selling giants like Clive Cussler, Nicholas Sparks, Tom Clancy, David Balducci, and Patricia Cornwell. She notes the clump of Harry Potterbooks, which she already owns, and settles finally on John Steinbeck's 1952 East of Eden, billed as "the book that brought Oprah's Book Club back." It's big and heavy, but she may have time to squeeze it in. She wedges the volume between a jug of Tide and a bag of McIntosh apples, and steers the cart and family toward the checkout lines.
This innocent little transaction, and thousands like it taking place every day across the country, are nevertheless part of a larger cultural swing in which books become ordinary consumer items like bottled water or underarm deodorant. And thus demystified, books become part of business culture, marketing strategies and corporate decision-making. At some point, an executive, not an author or artist, will call the shots. Books are now packaged and sold in much the same way as television shows and movies, which often are "tied in" to previous book sales — Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings being obvious examples here.
But, unlike TV dinners and microwave popcorn, books become intimate features of the consumer's mind and personality, so their availability and diversity make a crucial difference in the quality of life. Books frame the way we live, becoming the mental landmarks that allow us to discover our individual tastes and larger cultural values. The day-to-day experience of Americans is materially different today because of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), Anne Frank's Diary of a Young Girl (1952), Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique (1963) and Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed (1965), four books among many that reshaped the pattern of American life. The freedom to agree — or disagree — with such books is a basic political right. Furthermore, the ability to find and access such books is also part of the political enfranchisement of all Americans. Freedom is fully expressed in autonomy, the freedom to put freedom into action. Consumers would be horrified and outraged if a corporate outlet deliberately reduced the available choices of popular and widely distributed digital cameras, say, or athletic shoes. But, like it or not, that is exactly what is happening in regard to the marketing of books at chain stores like Wal-Mart and K-Mart, and to a lesser degree, at bookstores like Barnes and Noble, Borders and Waldenbooks, venues where the primary business, after all, is the selling and purveying of books.
The proliferation of Wal-Mart stores in the '90's and the evolving popularity of Oprah's Book Club coincided, like intersecting vectors, to create a unique synergy, a kind of one-two punch previously unseen in the publishing trade. An endorsement by Oprah and subsequent adoption by Wal-Mart became an instant passport to bestsellerdom for new titles and resurrected old ones. Certainly, it was good citizenship on the part of Wal-Mart executives to expand the readership of national treasures like John Steinbeck and Toni Morrison. That is not the issue. What concerns many cultural observers, like David Kirkpatrick of The New York Times, is the large number of authors who are shut out, creating a de facto censorship that tends to "homogenize" popular culture.
The numbers are telling. Chain stores in general, and Wal-Mart in particular, increased their market share of intellectual properties exponentially during the last decade. Such mass merchandisers improved their book sales by 30 percent, music sales (audiotapes and CDs) by 50 percent, while utterly dominating the sale of DVDs. According to Kirkpatrick, the "disconnect" between consumer autonomy and corporate policy is dramatized by the appearance of branch offices of major record labels near the corporate headquarters of Wal-Mart in Bentonville, Ark. That Bible Belt location has made it easy for critics to see Wal-Mart as the victim or perpetrator of some kind of Evangelical or Pentecostal Christian conspiracy, possibly because the chain has championed the sale of a series of Christian video cartoons called VeggieTales that feature homilies delivered by talking tomatoes and cucumbers. Nearly 3 million copies of Jonah, the latest tale, have been sold, one of every four copies at a Wal-Mart outlet. Individual artists and authors who have benefited from Wal-Mart's highly selective largesse include the Dixie Chicks (before their recent anti-war sentiments) and rabidly conservative writers like Ann Coulter.
Other evidence of Wal-Mart's pervasive influence takes the form of precensorship by big publishers (such as HarperCollins) who routinely hold back certain titles with "explicit" content and even design book jackets to suit the tastes of the Wal-Mart buyers who have willy-nilly become the gatekeepers for a large and growing segment of American culture.
But is Wal-Mart's America the real one? The giant virtually eliminates all rap music, including Eminem, even altering the video version of the film 8 Mile, just as it cut sexually explicit footage in key scenes from the highly popular and erotic Mexican film, Y Tu Mama Tambien. Considering that more than a million shoppers enter a Wal-Mart each week, doesn't the ideal of good corporate citizenship and the code of "best practice" speak volumes about the giant's rather quaint and patronizing assessment of the marketplace?
Of course, Wal-Mart is free to sell whatever books it pleases, and the company has not broken any laws in this department. The issue, again, is free and open dissemination of intellectual property so that citizens can make informed choices and participate in much-needed national dialogues on a long list of social and cultural ills. For example, conspicuously absent from the Wal-Mart shelves are the many books, pro and con, which examined the war in Iraq — and its tragic aftermath. Is there any other major conflict that was embarked upon with less of a national town meeting? No, Wal-Mart is not solely responsible for the lack of informed debate about the war, but it does bear responsibility for recasting our cultural image in its own likeness. With big power comes big responsibility. And the citizenry that empowered Wal-Mart and other big chains can always reclaim their autonomy by voting with their feet.
A parable that speaks to this situation occurred in Decatur when Kroger opened a giant supermarket near the intersection of U.S. 36 and Route 121. Within two years Wal-Mart opened a store on immediately adjacent property, and it seemed as though the Kroger store and a K-Mart directly across the highway would surely succumb. Traffic dwindled, and the K-Mart did close its doors. But Kroger survived by providing better service, higher quality and greater diversity, including fresh lamb chops, bok choy and "free range" eggs.
The important lesson here is that customers are willing to support choice, and if that rule applies to eggs and meat, why not films, music and books? Some observers may take the long view and point out that choices have been dwindling for a long time as small-town and village newspapers close up shop, following Mom and Pop grocery stores and privately owned bookstores. But there is still room in a diverse 21st century America for all of them if consumers truly want them to persist.
The situation for the reader of books is even more complicated because of the advent of computers and the Web. In some ways, the computer has robbed consumers of time as they hack their way through "spam" and "pop-up" advertisements. Some, notably media critic Sven Birkerts in his highly provocative and sobering 1994 book, The Gutenberg Elegies: The Fate of Reading in an Electronic Age, argue that we have experienced a cultural sea-change, a fundamental paradigm shift. Birkerts had owned a bookstore in Ann Arbor, Mich., but after a teaching stint at the University of Michigan, he concluded that younger, computer-literate readers just don't "get it." These Web site addicts and nocturnal perusers of "blogs" may no longer have the patience or mind-set to slog through a dense novel by Henry James — or even a contemporary tome like Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections, or David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest.
But if people don't read books, they won't buy books. And a shrinking book market means a further shrinking of choices. That downsized market also is a painful result of illiteracy, as shown decades ago by Jonathan Kozol in his 1985 classic Illiterate America.
Further complicating matters, one of the largest segments of the population is comprised of Hispanics, many of whom prefer Spanish, the language that will surely overtake English as the most spoken tongue during the first quarter of this century. Where will this large Hispanic readership find books and stories about itself? Will those future titles find shelf space in Anglo-dominated markets?
And what about all the small press and university press titles, and other specialized titles that typically don't gain entrée to Wal-Mart or even to Barnes and Noble, though the latter has done a marvelous job of helping authors and itself with public readings and book clubs? More can be done in all these areas.
So the contemporary reader is faced with problems of accessibility to books as well as erosion of the culture of reading as it is replaced by "information technology." On top of those woes, books of paper and cardboard and leather face challenges from audio books, videotapes, DVDs and magazines (electronic and traditional). Book sales are often flat at some Barnes and Noble stores, but sales of videos and magazines are increasing by about 5 percent per year. At public libraries, there is a similar story, in spite of strong circulation driven by diehard readers and walk-in patrons seeking help or information. Videos and audios are in strong and growing demand. Lee Ann Fisher, the city librarian who oversees the 400,000 items at the Decatur Public Library, observes somewhat wryly, "On Friday we become a video store." Then she adds with a twinkle in her eye, "Maybe I can hook you to be a reader."
If the reader is hooked, the final hurdle is the sheer size and scale of the reading enterprise, a massive footnote to the information explosion. According to this year's The Bowker Annual: Library and Book Trade Almanac, about 150,000 new titles appear in America each year, and hundreds of thousands are still in print, as documented in the pages of the annual editions of Books in Print. That number helps to explain Sara Nelson's recent publication of So Many Books, So Little Time: A Year of Passionate Reading.
There is simply no practical way for any reader to simplify the process of selection without professional help, or "channeling," as one book executive calls it. Most of the channeling takes the form of lists or actual displays based on lists, like the "new book" displays at most libraries. Many readers utilize easily found lists like the weekly ones appearing in The New York Times or USA Today. Readers also use Amazon.com and such popular Web sites as Bartleby.com (which offers complete texts of books in the public domain), Access the Great Books, and Bookslut! Most patrons don't realize that lists are made in a seemingly endless regression that involves a chain of professional readers. NoveList is a data base for librarians and other professionals that offers links or "author read-alikes" in the way that Amazon.com and others cue customers: "If you liked this book, you'll also like... ." Baker and Taylor, the largest wholesaler of books to libraries, offers an option called "Automatically Yours," whereby librarians preselect popular authors and automatically receive their latest works. But, good as they are, such lists tend to limit the chances of exposure for new authors, and readers are always in the position of following someone else's recommendation.
It's a rare moment when a reader receives a personal recommendation from someone like a librarian or a sales clerk at a bookstore, but that person-to-person communication helps to break down the officialdom of the formal lists and keep us away from re-establishing a Canon, or an ultimate and exclusive list of the only books that shall be read. The sharp reader has to be on the lookout for pitfalls from the left and the right.
Egon, the brainy scientist in the 1984 comedy Ghostbusters, makes the petulant comment that "print is dead." But Jennifer Nippert, the manager of the Springfield Barnes and Noble, sharply disagrees. She is an avid reader (like almost all the booksellers and librarians in the area), and she can't imagine a world without books. "People like the physical sensation of holding books. Nobody has come up with an e-book that people like. Books beat the Internet because you can make your own links."
In a recent column, Bill Tammeus of the Kansas City Star sounded a similar note: "Books provide the means for nearly the whole population — not just the elite — to be educated and empowered to think critically." And Harold Bloom, the distinguished Yale literary critic and author of How to Read and Why, answers the question "Why read?" in this way: "It matters, if individuals are to retain any capacity to form their own judgments and opinions, that they continue to read for themselves."
These are wise words to remember on the next trip to the mall or shopping center.
Readers can find help everywhere, if they take the time to look. Nationally, there is a booming interest in book clubs and discussion groups. Even whole cities become involved, as occurs through "One Book, One Chicago," which began in 2001. Through the initiative, residents of the Windy City are urged to read a single book, including Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird and Elie Wiesel's moving account of the Holocaust, Night. Most libraries and bookstores now sponsor such activities, and three new books have appeared on the topic, notably Rachel Jacobsohn's The Reading Group Handbook: Everything You Need to Know to Start Your Own Book Group.
Readers may not be able to find the sort of utopian bookstore run by Meg Ryan in the 1998 romantic fantasy You've Got Mail. Families won't return to those perfect evenings when well-dressed parents and children sat around the blazing hearth and read three-decker Victorian novels by Thackeray or Dickens. But it is possible to make more informed choices about books and to demand better access to the titles in print. Yet nothing will change unless reading habits change first.
A few years ago, schools, libraries and even scouting groups across the country began to institute the "Drop Everything and Read" program.
Children drop chalk, soccer balls and backpacks and immediately sit down and begin reading their favorite book.
It's only a fantasy, but wouldn't it be grand to see truck drivers park their rigs and dive into copies of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance? Or legislators sitting on the marble steps of the Capitol, passionately arguing fine points in Plato's Republic — or even bankers momentarily setting investment portfolios aside to contemplate Vachel Lindsay's Gospel of Beauty? It's only a fantasy, of course, but one of the things reading teaches us is that anything is possible.

More western goodness flows from the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book, as I dig into the first recommendation following my screening of High Noon.
The Gunfighter sees Gregory Peck ride into town as the notorious Jimmy Ringo. All he wants to do is see his true love, Peggy (Helen Westcott), who refuses to meet with him. His fame as a gunfighter, however, makes sure that trouble keeps finding him.
From the moment he steps into town, and the saloon, of course, men come gunning for him. He doesn't want to draw down on these folk, but they keep pushing him, forcing him to defend himself.
When he confronts a young whelp, Eddie (Richard Jaeckel) his quickdraw puts the young man down, but it seems Eddie has brothers who may come looking for him, unless he takes care of the first.
Peck seems quite at home with a cowboy hat atop his head and six-shooters in his hands, and turns in a performance, while not reminiscent of Eastwood in Unforgiven, makes me recall it.
Karl Malden appears as a barkeep, Mac, as Ringo settles into town, taking a room above the saloon. His old friend, Mark Strett (Millard Mitchell) is the town marshal, who upon learning that Eddie's brothers are after him warns him out of town, but Ringo just wants to see Peggy and his son, who doesn't even know that Jimmy is his father.
He plans to wait at the saloon until Strett brings Peggy to see him, all the while, well aware, that the three brothers are riding after him, and soon, the town will no doubt be filled with gunfire.
And he may not be wrong, it seems a number of folk don't want him in town, and may stir up some trouble themselves, long before the brother ride in to town.
The film feels way to short, running at 85 minutes, and while I love Peck's performance, I wish he'd been given just a bit more to do character-wise. He's tired of gunfighting to be sure, and is focused solely on seeing Peggy, and you can see on his face that he is full of regrets, and tired, but he doesn't get a lot of opportunities to really expand on it. It's a quiet, enjoyable performance. It's almost all on his face.
It doesn't rush to its climax, there are some nice character moments, as Strett and Ringo reminisce, prepare and hope, before Ringo makes his final decisions. There are some brilliant moments towards the film's end that have an emotional impact
In the end, Ringo has to face the reality of his situation, with trouble coming, a woman who may no longer love him, a son who doesn't know him, and age creeping up on him.
A gorgeous and fantastic film, with a great performance by Peck, and wow, that ending.

text: Whether you're looking for a role in construction, the hospitality industry, retail or even hairdressing, Australian Apprenticeships are a great way to gain a nationally recognised qualification while earning a wage working on the job. There are more than 500 occupations that offer apprenticeships, ranging from Certificate II to Advanced Diploma levels. These include traditional trades and a number of emerging occupations in most sectors of business and industry. Australian Apprenticeships are available to anyone of working age and do not require any entry qualifications. An Australian Apprenticeship is available to school-leavers, those re-entering the workforce or those wishing to change careers. What's the difference between an apprenticeship and a traineeship? You mean an apprenticeship and a traineeship aren't the same thing? What's the difference? How will it impact my career? Apprenticeships An apprenticeship is a structured training arrangement, which usually lasts three to four years. The training combines practical experience at work with complementary off-the-job training with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). On successful completion, you are issued with a nationally recognised qualification and you have on-the-job skills, which are highly regarded by many employers. Traineeships A traineeship is a training agreement between the trainee and their respective employer: the employer agrees to train the trainee in a specific industry, and the trainee agrees to work and learn. Traineeships are available for people of all ages and usually last between one to two years (but can last longer), depending on the vocation and certificate level undertaken.

Introducing the Big Gulp Summer Weight Kit
All photos by John Watson, unless noted. Model: Kyle Kelley, owner of Golden Saddle Cycles
We're stoked to start making a big push with our new kit the "Big Gulp." This time we've got two big reasons to celebrate: one is the fact that Saisha again killed the design, this time with a sweet homage to the iconic 7-11 jerseys of the 1980's, and secondly this is our first kit with our new supplier Pactimo. With the new manufacturer, we've taken a big step up in materials, especially in the chamois.
Like all of our "kits" the Big Gulp consists of four pieces: jersey, bibs, socks, and cap.
The Big Gulp jersey features Pactimo's Quatro-Lite fabric in the body for its ultra-soft, CoolDry, lightweight properties, and a Zero-weight, breathable, stretch mesh in the side panels to provide flexibility and reduce body heat. While you can certainly wear this jersey all year, you'll find that it really shines when the mercury rises and it turns hot and muggy.
As shown in the below photo the side panel mesh panel features our Fast is Forever script.
While the front panel, features our Cutter's font All-City logo with the shield as an accent
Jerseys come in both Men's and Women's cuts.
Big Gulp Bibs $119
While the new jersey fabrics are great and all, the part of the kit we're most excited about is the chamois in the Pactimo Ascent Bib. It is simply the most comfortable one we've yet tried and are a huge step up in quality from our previous offerings.
The design here is understated, and is intended to be able to be used with other pieces of All-City kit that you may own. It looks especially nice, for example, when paired with our blue/black wool offerings.
Even though our good buddy Kyle didn't have a set on hand for his big photo shoot, if you want to be pro, you've got to complete the look with a pair of socks. These high tech gym socks are made from Sock Guy's SGX fabric which is crazy lightweight and breathable for those warm summer days. While we typically go wool with our socks, this year we wanted to do something that would work great for our friends in the warmer climates and for ourselves during the approximately 1.5 months of summer we experience each year.
Also, as you can see from the below picture, the Big Gulp socks not only go with the new jersey and bibs, but they also might match your other clothes or bike perfecty as demonstrated by Christina Peck at the Cycle Messenger World Championships in Australia.
Because you can't have a sundae without the cherry on top, don't forget about the crowning piece. As always, these are made in Italy by our friends at Nalini and totally rule.
So there you have it, the latest and greatest in stretchy bicycle riding apparel from your friends at All-City. All of these pieces are available now, and if you're local shop doesn't have them, ask them to order some up.
