So often I hear people making excuses for the most ridiculous things.
No matter what time of year, they'll always have the same excuse.
Excuses do not change your life, they keep you stagnant.
Excuses do not change your life, they keep you stagnant.
Want to know why?
You are not ready to take responsibility for your life and change your situation.
This stings, but look at every successful person. They didn't get to where they are now by making up excuses about not having enough time, resources, money, friends, family, support, etc. They got to where they are now because they failed forward, took responsibility for their lives, and changed what was necessary to move forward.
We all fail before we succeed--it's a part of life you might as well get comfortable being uncomfortable with.
Before I decided to put my health first, I faced eating disorders, binging, self hate, lack of funds, self doubt, different priorities, relationship problems, anger issues, and a perpetual cycle of depression.
I had to make a DECISION, make MYSELF a priority, and fail forward by taking it one day at a time. What do I mean by failing? Trying and not succeeding right out of the gate. If changing your life was easy, everyone would be doing it and living happily ever after.
But newsflash: no one is coming to save you. You have to do that yourself.
They are simply justifications for why YOU are standing in your own way. I come from a place of tough love, because that is how I woke the hell up and realized that I'm the only person in charge of my life. If I couldn't change what needed to be done, I might as well give up. Because I'm on this planet to live big, have no regrets, and be the happiest and healthiest version of myself. That didn't come easy, that took me practically my whole life to turn around, but I'm here, I'm healthy, I'm happy, and I now help other women do the same.
But not when they're still stuck. Stuck and an excuse mindset = not ready
"Do any of the following sound familiar? I don't have the money, I have kids, I don't have kids, I am married, I am not married, I have to find balance in my life, I am overworked, I am underworked, too many people work here, we don't have enough people, my manager sucks/doesn't help me/won't leave me alone/is negative/is too jacked up, I don't like reading, I don't have time to study, I don't have time for anything, our prices are too high, our prices are too low, the customer won't call me back, the customer cancelled the appointment, people don't tell me the truth, they don't have the money, the economy is bad, the banks aren't lending, my owner is cheap, we don't have/can't find the right people, no one is motivated, people have bad attitudes, no one told me, it was someone else's fault, they keep changing their minds, I am tired, I need a vacation, the people I work with are losers, I'm depressed, I'm sick, my mom is sick, traffic is terrible, the competition is giving its product away, I have such bad luck..."
*DEEP BREATH* "will any of these excuses ever improve your situation? I doubt it." -- Grant Cardone, The 10X Rule
If something is important to you, you will find a way.
If not, you'll find an excuse.
All we have is the present, and I know from experience that if you wait for the right day to change your life, it'll never come. There will never be a right time; you must be desperate enough and hungry enough to CREATE IT.
Are you open and willing to create yours?

text: BUSINESS Rove notwithstanding, dinners get a bad rap 5:00 AM PDT 4/2/2007 by Paul J. Gough , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty WASHINGTON -- There was a larger dollop of funny at this year's Radio-TV Correspondents Dinner, though it was more of the uncomfortable kind than anything else.President Bush made an appearance, his first since the showing of the infamous video three years ago that pictured him jokingly looking around the Oval Office for those elusive weapons of mass destruction.The president time this was, by all accounts, funny. He poked fun at Vice President Dick Cheney and presidential candidate Barack Obama and was game for the obligatory jokes about his decline in popularity during his second term. He wondered aloud if his memoirs ought to be a pop-up book. It was a welcome change from Cheney, who ably demonstrated the past two years that stand-up is not a career option after the 2008 elections.Then there was Bush adviser Karl Rove, who performed an impromptu hip-hop dance at the request of improvisational comics Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochrie. Sherwood pulled a clearly uncomfortable Rove into the spotlight for a first few minutes that teetered on disaster before coaching Rove on how to rap. Unbelievably, Rove played along. Audience members who moments before thought they were watching a televised train wreck found themselves laughing with Rove.Trust me, it was funnier there than on YouTube.In going with Mochrie and Sherwood -- comedians who appeared for years on ABC's "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" -- and their Rove skit, the dinner's organizers clearly chose not to play it safe, which they might have been tempted to do so soon after Stephen Colbert's roasting of Bush at last year's White House Correspondents Assn. dinner. (Those folks followed up this year with Rich Little as their headliner.)Working this show means treading a fine line, as Louis Black learned when the "Daily Show" contributor served as the entertainment during the 2005 Radio-TV dinner. The media industry still was absorbing the news that Peter Jennings had been diagnosed with lung cancer, and a pall had fallen over the room. Black said that he frankly wasn't comfortable doing jokes among so many power players, comparing it to when he attended his high school prom in the very same room decades earlier."I'm dressed in a tux, I'm uncomfortable and once again, I know I'm not going to get lucky," Black said then.These two dinners, which have occurred within a month of one another every spring in Washington for decades, bring together the elite from the media and politics, a dwindling number of Hollywood types and a few working stiffs like yours truly. Some wonder why they bother attending at all, despite the fun that Colbert, Bush and Don Imus have provided the past few years. To them, it's more of a chore than anything else."After the 12th or 13th year, it sort of starts to lose its luster," one journalist said on the way in.Not so for the onlookers who happened to be at the Washington Hilton on Wednesday night and saw either the president or any number of big-name politicians and journalists stroll through the lobby. One woman, at the hotel for another conference, showed me a list of the celebrities she had seen."I want to be able to remember so I can tell the kids later," she said.

text: August 12, 2018 Swann, Thomas Burnett Tagged: Author (1928-1976) US poet, author and academic who taught English literature at Florida Atlantic University, turning to full-time writing in the early 1960s. As an academic he published works on the poet HD (Hilda Doolittle [1886-1961]) and others, including Wonder and Whimsy: The Fantastic World of Christina Rossetti (1960). Much of his fiction – beginning with "Winged Victory" for Fantastic Universe in 1958 – could be described as Science Fantasy, as it posits a sustained Alternate-History version of Earth's history; but its abiding tenor is of Fantasy. Briefly, the Swann version of history centres on the doomed encounter of the Supernatural Creatures of legend – dryads, centaurs, panisci, minotaurs, et al. – with ascendant humanity, climaxing at the time when Rome and Christianity were extending their Imperialisms across the doomed, childlike, prelapsarian world. Most of his tales – all set well before any alternate twentieth century, which Swann clearly found impossible to imagine, and populated by young protagonists whom puberty drives from the Garden – fit into this history. In order of their internal chronology they are: The Minikins of Yam (1976), set around 2500 BCE; the Minotaur sequence, comprising Cry Silver Bells (1977), The Forest of Forever (1971) and Day of the Minotaur (September/October 1964-January/February 1965 Science Fantasy as "The Blue Monkeys"; 1966), set in Mycenaean Crete; the Mellonia sequence, comprising Queens Walk in the Dusk (1977), Green Phoenix (1972) and Lady of the Bees (April 1962 Science Fantasy as "Where is the Bird of Fire?"; exp 1976), set in burgeoning Rome; Wolfwinter (1972), The Weirwoods (1967) and The Gods Abide (1976), the three novels in which humanity's religious and political destruction of the old ways reaches a climax; and a final scattering of nostalgia-choked tales set in the Christian era, The Tournament of Thorns (fixup 1976), Will-o-the-Wisp (1976), The Not-World (1975) and The Goat without Horns (1971). This sequence, each title being a litany of desiderium and dying falls, evoked a warm response from fantasy and sf readers, a response not dissimilar to that evoked by the ecological sf that began to appear around the same time (see Ecology). Swann's early works are generally stronger than his later titles, most of these comprising debilitated prequels to earlier and better tales, along with shorter early works unwisely expanded. Throughout, a finger-pointing sentimentality tends to vitiate the deeply felt over-narrative Swann had committed himself to, but moments of epiphany occur at points, and when they do they evoke a powerful empathy.

Kenya Safaris: FAQs
It simply means making a journey.Initially, it was taken to be the hunting expeditions to Africa but has now become a more eco-friendly form of adventure for people of all ages and walks of life. For you travelling to Africa, Safari has become the dream vacation of a lifetime, combining adventure with total comfort to ever-increasing travellers. Visit Africa's most beautiful game reserves, seeing hundreds of rare birds and mammals from your chauffeured safari vehicle. Relax in comfortable lodges surrounded by scenic valleys and plains. Time takes on a new meaning as you learn to sit quietly listening to the sounds of Africa. The balance of nature will no longer be empty words you will see it daily in the drama of animals fighting for their survival and co-existence.
An Africa Safari is perfect vacation for people of all ages, from eight to eighty-eight. A safari is not particularly strenuous or tiring, so anyone in reasonably good health should be able to enjoy his or her stay. Because a safari has something to offer everyone, it has become an increasingly popular motivation and incentive for workers who are rewarded by corporate bodies. Its also a good way of rewarding or giving a family a treat.
The beauty of Africa encompasses not only birds and animals of all shapes and sizes, but also the many different tribes and the exotic physical features from mountains to broad savannas, forests to rivers and deserts. Your safari has been carefully planned to include a wide variety of sights and activities.
In a typical day you can expect to see 15 to 20 animal species- lions, elephants, giraffes and rhinos, to name a few. Buffalo and wildebeest may be in herds of hundreds or more. Others, like the swift cheetah, are more likely to be found alone. And then there are the birds, over 300 species! Birds in Africa are particularly colorful and easy to spot. Even if you've never looked at a bird before, with the help of your driver you'll easily learn to identify twenty to thirty of the most striking and beautiful birds of Africa. Experienced birders can expect to see 60 to 100 different species in a single day.
A special thrill is in store if your safari coincides with the annual wildebeest migration. You'll see thunderous herds of wildebeest and zebra, totaling more than 1 million, stretching across the horizon. On their trail follow the predators the big cats, and the scavengers hyenas, jackals and vultures. Whenever you go, you'll see animals as you've never seen them before roaming free, just as they have for millions of years.
Because you are traveling in protected game reserves, many of the animals have no fear as long as you are in a vehicle. You can get surprisingly close, especially when lions are busy feeding on prey, or at rest. Elephants often walk up to and even surround a minibus. Monkeys and baboons may study you as closely as you study them. But natural behavior will only continue if you give the animals some space and are quiet. If you go too close, or talk too loudly, the animals may just leave.
Most animals will be more interesting if allowed the space to continue their natural behaviors- stalking, mating, playing with their young. Your driver will know the best viewing distance. Please do not encourage him to "stalk" or otherwise interfere with hunting or other activities crucial to the animal's survival.
No, not if you stay within the marked boundaries of your lodge or in your minibus. Your guide and driver know what is, and is not, safe. Incidents involving animals are rare in East Africa and are, almost without fail, the result of someone doing what they have been advised not to do. Nairobi is a big, bustling city.
Avoid wearing flashy jewelry, hold onto your purse and camera bag, beware of clever conmen and don't walk in the city at night. Do not wear money belts, since they can easily be cut off from the rear. It is always a good idea when you travel to keep a photocopy of your passport in your suitcase and another at home. The people are friendly, and the government patrols the game parks - their most treasured resource- for the safety and benefit of all.
Great all year round! Because of the high elevation (3000 to 8000 feet above sea level), and the fact that we are on the equator, there is pleasant weather throughout the year. The "dry" season is July through October, and December through March. During this time you may expect to find the greatest concentrations of animals because they will congregate around the remaining water holes.
The dirt roads may be dusty, but should not prove to be a major discomfort. The relatively "rainy" season includes the month of April, May, and November. During this time the landscape is beautifully green, and there are fewer tourists. The animals are more dispersed, so will be harder to spot. Expect showers interspersed with beautiful sunny skies. Many travellers prefer to go on safari during these months. If your itinerary includes Mombasa or other coastal resort, the best times for you to visit are August through October, and December through March.
The coast is warmer and more humid than the rest of Kenya, but you'll find your beach hotel cooled by the ocean breezes. In Kenya and Tanzania the higher you are, the cooler the temperatures. Nairobi, at 5500 ft and most game parks at altitudes above 3000 feet, have ideal temperatures- between 20 and 30 degrees all year round, seldom dropping below a cool 10 degrees at night. Mt. Kenya Safari Club, the tree hotels and the rim of Ngorongoro Crater are closer to 7000 feet and can be quite chilly at night, with temperatures dropping to the mid-forties. The warmest months are December and January and coolest are July and August. Inland, even at the lowest altitudes, the air is dry, thanks to cool mountain breezes.
The " Great Migration" is the heralded movement of millions of wildebeest and zebras across Tanzania 's Serengeti plains into the Masai Mara game reserve of Kenya, from late June through early October. Tanzania's annual migration occurs March through May and October through November.
Whether you catch the migration or not, there will always be plenty of animals, more than you could ever imagine. And you could take the same safari at the same time every year and always see something different. Nothing remains the same, because the animals are constantly on the move in search of fertile grasslands.
Budget Safaris Kenya uses only the best accommodation available. Hotels in Nairobi are deluxe, with quality shops, restaurants, and amenities. The game lodges are imaginatively built with marvelous gardens and terraces. A typical lodge has bungalows spread across the grounds, a large central reception area, dining room, shops and an attractive outdoor swimming pool. Many have exercise room as well.
Each room has twin beads and private bathroom with flush toilet and shower or bath. Tree hotels, such as the Ark or Mountain Lodge, are more rustic, yet feature great views from their lofty perspective, and each bedroom has its own private facilities. Some of our safaris feature permanent tented camps, with large canvas tents erected on concrete or wood platforms. They all have sewn-in floors and net screens. Comfortable beds and a private connecting bathroom with flush toilet and shower make for a most comfortable stay.
Many even have swimming pools! Most permanent tented camps in Tanzania retain all the style and glamour of the famous mobile-tented camps. Sensitive to this fragile environment, these camps retain an elegant simplicity, yet offer every feature to ensure a comfortable stay: excellent meals: fine wines and liquors: insect proofed tents with twin beds: private hot water bucket shower: discreet safari toilet: free laundry service. Private camps are set up in private game viewing areas far from other tourists. Here you'll have a chance to view game on foot or by four-wheel drive vehicle with your highly trained naturalists guides. For most, these exclusive camps are the ultimate African experience.
Good! All meals- buffet-style American or Continental breakfast, and sumptuous lunches and dinners- are included while on safari. In major cities, some of our safaris include only breakfast. This allows you to dine on your own at some of the outstanding local restaurants. Check the inclusions described for your specific tour.
You'll savor everything from African delicacies to international specialties on a Premier Vacations Africa safari. The meals are well prepared, the menus varied, with fresh fruits and vegetables, fish and meat amply provided. And food never tasted better than upon returning from an exciting day on safari.
We recommend only bottled water. It can be purchased inexpensively throughout your trip and is good insurance for healthy, enjoyable safari. Beer, wine and soft drinks are also fine to drink.Budget Safaris Kenyaadds a sparkling touch to the fresh and delicious African fare by providing you with cool, clear bottled water with each meal on all itineraries. We will also offer you the same refreshing bottles of water on game viewing expeditions.
Most of your safari will be in deluxe late-model minibuses. At most tented camps, and in the Ngorongoro Crater, you'll travel in four-wheel drive vehicles. Everyone will have a window seat for best game viewing and photography.
Every vehicle has its own professional driver/guide. One pair of binoculars and guidebooks is furnished to enhance your viewing pleasure. Roads outside major cities are often dirt or gravel and may be bumpy or dusty. You may happen to get temporarily stuck in a muddy patch if there is heavy rain. It's all part of the adventure and your driver is an expert in dealing with tough driving conditions. Some of our safaris feature short flights, thereby saving hours of surface travel. From this lofty perspective, you will appreciate the size and scope of the African plains, and enjoy the additional time allowed for game viewing drives.
This is an opportunity to view wildlife while on foot. During a two to three hour walk your guide will help you get to see the animals in best position and surprisingly close, to see such wonderful animals such as buffaloes and elephants. A truly thrilling experience. Your guide will help you read spot and appreciate the fabulous wealth of small animals, from spiders to birds.
Budget Safaris Kenya staff have played host to good number of tourists. Years of first-hand experience mean that your every need has been anticipated and all our tours have been thoroughly proven. Each vehicle has its own local driver/guide. These well-trained professionals make their living by knowing every inch of ground, making sure you have a good time. Their keen eyes and experience give them the uncanny ability to spot birds and wildlife all along the way.
In addition to their wealth of knowledge about wildlife, they are happy to tell you all about life in their native land. One of the hardest parts of leaving East Africa is saying good-bye to your driver, who will have become a wonderful friend and companion. For most programs there is a naturalist guide in addition to your driver. These dedicated professionals are with you at all times to make sure that your every need is attended to, answer all your questions, and give informative briefings on the reserves you visit, the birds and wildlife you see, and the people you meet.
They can explain animal behavior, pointing out the matriarch in a herd of elephants or the zebra's unique way of listening for predators.Budget Safaris Kenya Trip is particularly proud of the outstanding quality of our guides. In Nairobi, a member of our staff will be available for you at all times.
English is an official language in Kenya. All drivers, guides, lodge and camp staff and most people that you will meet in East Africa speak English. Budget Safaris Kenya also boasts of being one of the local companies that have multi-lingual driver guides who speak more than two foreign languages fluently! It's fun to learn a few words and phrases of Swahili or other local languages, and your guide will help you along. You'll enjoy sharing your smile and few simple courtesies with your African hosts.
Many young people will be anxious to practice their English with you, or help you with your Swahili. At some roadside stops, locals can be competitive in attempts to sell you jewelry or baskets. Bargain if you like what you see. Otherwise, firmly say, "No, thank you," or "Sitaki, Asante Sana," and move on. Never photograph locals without asking their permission first. This may require a fee, which your guide can help you negotiate.
Giving away Polaroid photos will help you get pictures that would not otherwise be possible. Please DO NOT hand out candy, ballpoint pens, or trinkets to children. It encourages them to wait for handouts from well meaning visitors rather than going to school. It's okay to barter with tee shirts and caps in the rural shops or to thank someone who's been especially helpful with a tee shirt, news magazine or paperback book, but please don't encourage these beautiful children to beg! Most Africans are extremely polite by the world standards. By keeping an open mind and going out of your way to be courteous and respectful, you'll win friends and much more likely to get your way.
If you are in good health, you should have no problems at all. If in doubt, ask your doctor. This is not a strenuous trip involving hiking, extensive stair climbing, or long periods on your feet. Most of your exercise will be walking from your room to the safari vehicle or the dining room. Those desiring to do mountain climbing should have good health.
Your typical day on safari begins with a game drive after an early breakfast. You return to your lodge or tented camp around 11 AM. After lunch you'll have time to nap, swim or read about what you're seeing. Around 3:00 or 4:00 p.m. you'll be invited on another game drive, until dusk. On some days, there is the possibility of an early sunrise drive, with tea or coffee beforehand and breakfast afterwards, or even a night game drive or a walking safari, where park rules permit. On the days that you travel to new game parks, you will generally leave right after breakfast, arriving at the next lodge in time for lunch, a swim and afternoon game drive. Often there are stops to visit interesting features along the way.
A group safari is perfect for children 8 years or older. If you have younger children you may wish to arrange a private safari. A safari is even more fun when two or three families go together.
Every place you travel in East Africa offers interesting gifts, usually at very attractive prices. Most lodges have gift shops stocked with high quality local crafts. Items such as baskets, beadwork, soapstone and woodcarvings, colorful fabrics-even spears and shields - are found in every little roadside shop. The fine stores in downtown Nairobi will tempt you with jewelry, semiprecious stones, leather goods, and traditional handicrafts. Expect to bargain everywhere in Africa- it is part of the fun. You'll know you've hit the bottom price when your vendor lets you walk out the door empty handed
Cotton slacks and shirts are ideal, with a sweater or other layers to shed as the day heats up. A hat with a brim is essential, and a cotton bandanna useful, especially in Amboseli, Kenya, which can be dusty.Budget Safaris Kenya suggest that Khaki and cotton clothing are good for travel and pale earth colors such as tan or olive are best for viewing wildlife and birds. Camouflage clothes are illegal in many African countries. Solid-colored safari clothes, however, are practical and widely available; Comfortable walking shoes, such as topsiders or *running/tennis shoes with socks, are recommended over sandals; thorns are everywhere, and socks with your shoes deter mosquito bites. Include a lightweight raincoat or jacket, and a swimsuit (many lodges have pools.)
You may want to take flannel pajamas/a robe or a sweat suit for Kenya 's Ark , where you can chose to have a wake up call if a rhino comes to the water hole in the wee hours. A nice dress is useful for clubs, casinos and restaurants in Nairobi, where men need to wear a jacket and tie. The Mt. Kenya Safari Club will not seat dinner guests wearing T-shirts, jeans, or running shoes, (or what they call "sports shoes"*). While the Safari Club no longer insists upon a jacket and tie for men, they do enforce a dress code of "Smart Casual." Chinos and khakis work better than jeans, which take forever to try.
Safari/Bermuda shorts are unwelcome at mosques; visitors should dress conservatively in Islamic communities (Lamu, Mombasa, Zanzibar ;) long sleeves and long pants also deter mosquitoes and sunburn. Laundry service is available at most lodges and even tented camps, but be very clear about when you need your clothes returned. Take at least three changes of clothes for a week on safari, plus your own detergent to wash a few things. The best advice is to travel light, and wear cotton.
Travel lightly. On international flights, each person is allowed a maximum of two pieces of luggage with a combined weight not exceeding 44 pounds in most cases. We recommend two smaller bags rather than one large suitcase. "Squashable" suitcases, Overnight bags, duffel bags, etc. are ideal.
While you're on safari, additional baggage can be safely stored at your hotel. The baggage allowance on local planes within East Africa is 33 pounds. Even more important than weight is the size of the bags. Large suitcases cannot be stowed on light aircraft. Again, soft luggage is recommended. A few changes of clothes, your camera equipment, and toiletries are really all you should need. If you plan to do any trekking include a small backpack.
If you bring along video camera, electric iron, razor or hair dryer, make sure they are adaptable to 220 AC and 50-cycle current and that you have adapter plugs for English outlets. Game lodges use generators, which shut down at bedtime. Camps in Tanzania only run generators for a few hours per day, however this usually is enough to recharge video batteries. Remember this is the Bush so don't count on electricity.
Africa is the photographer's dream! A camera will record all those, unbelievable and spectacular sights you'll want to share with friends. We suggest a good 35 mm camera with a 35-70 mm zoom lens, and a longer lens, such as a 80-200mm to capture the multitude of rare birds you see. More and more travelers are capturing all the thrills of safari on video cameras. Most lodges and camps have facilities for recharging your batteries. You may have to pay a nominal fee in some game parks for non-commercial use of video cameras.
Unobstructed pictures can be taken through the roof hatch of your minibus. Remember that any vibration in the camera is magnified, so be sure to rest your arms on the body of the vehicle and request that the engine be turned off, if that's possible. Note: Taking photographs at AIRPORTS, HARBOURS, MILITARY INSTALLATIONS,STATE HOUSE OR GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS is prohibited. Your entire roll of film may be confiscated. In many tombs, temples or 'closed' museums, you may be asked to pay a fee of $3 for taking photographs, or $30 for use of a video camera. As a protective measure to protect the color of ancient art, some tombs and temples do not allow the use of a flash, or strobe
The first rule is to bring plenty along 15-25 rolls. Although film is available in Nairobi and at some lodges, it can be expensive. For color slides, we recommend Kodacrome 64 and high-speed ektachrome 400, the latter for low-light conditions. For more natural colors you may prefer Fuji 400 HR. For color prints, Kodacolor or Kodak Gold 100 and 400 give excellent results. If you want to take pictures at night you'll need Kodak Ektar 1000. Take along extra batteries for your camera and cover or plastic bags to protect your camera and lenses from the dust when you are not using them.
Your own lightweight binoculars will greatly enhance your viewing pleasure. If you're a "birder", binoculars are essential. The best range of magnification for safari is from 6X to 8X with a lens size of 35mm.We strongly recommend.
Try to get as much rest as possible before your flight. Reduce alcohol and caffeine intake as they add to dehydration and adversely affect sleep. Drink plenty of water, especially during and after your flight. Wear loose fitting clothes, comfortable shoes, and try to sleep during the flight. Some people find that an inflatable neck pillow helps them sleep more comfortably. After you nap, walk around the cabin, stretch your legs and move around as much as you can in your seat. Get as much sunlight and exercise as you can upon landing.
The standard unit of currency for Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda is the shilling, but their values differ greatly, and they are not interchangeable. Your local bank can give you current exchange rates. It is not necessary to change money before you leave as there are banks for currency exchange at all international airports and in most hotels. Be sure to save your receipts so you can change any leftover shillings back into dollars before you leave.
Aside from shopping, you need money for drinks, tips and incidentals. Experience has shown that most clients spend between $400 and $500. The shops are full of tempting items. Major credit cards and travelers checks are accepted in major hotels and stores, but some game lodges and rural shops accept only cash. We also recommend that you take traveler's checks rather than cash with you. Do not keep all valuables in one place, such as a purse, that could be lost. It's a good idea, if you have more than one credit card to keep the second in a separate pocket or locked in the hotel safe. Your airline ticket will be collected by our office upon arrival in Nairobi for reconfirmation of your return flights.
Generally no inoculations are required for Kenya and only a yellow fever inoculation for Tanzania. HOWEVER, CHECK WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN AS REQUIREMENTS MAY CHANGE. You should carry your health certificate with your passport at all times. Many doctors recommend yellow fever inoculation in all African countries as well as gamma globulin and tetanus. On your safari, you'll be eating and staying at the best places. Your risk of exposure to disease is small.
However, any time you travel it is a good idea to be up-to-date on all your routine inoculations. Your doctor can advise you. We do recommend that everyone obtain a prescription for anti-malaria pills. Most types are started two weeks before your arrival and continued for six weeks after your return. The most effective protection against malaria and yellow fever is to avoid mosquito bites. We recommend that wear long sleeves and slacks in the early morning and evening and use a 30% Deut based insect repellent where there are mosquitoes. Most safari lodges in East Africa where there is presence of mosquitoes are equipped with mosquito nets as a standard facility.
We believe that our travelers are aware of the sources of transmission of AIDS. There is no greater risk of exposure on a safari than there is at home. Mosquitoes do not transmit AIDS. While no one can be certain of the purity of the blood supply at home or abroad, there are blood-screening facilities in Nairobi. These hospitals are staffed by American and European trained doctors, nurses, and technicians and have high standards of medical care.
You are allowed two normal size pieces of luggage not exceeding 44 lbs. per person on the international flight. However, on chartered aircraft within Africa, the baggage allowance may be 33 lbs, and in small planes, the limit is 26 lbs, including your camera gear.
Please read your itinerary carefully and pack accordingly. In many cases you can plan to leave a larger bag behind in the capital or port of entry city, and take only a small duffle bag on safari. In most cases, arrangements have been made for storage of your luggage while on safari, but all baggage is the tour member's responsibility while on tour. If possible, we do recommend baggage insurance.
Be on time. Nothing is more irritating to other group members than to have to constantly wait for a slowpoke! Be at appointed meeting places, ready to go. You may not wish to go on all game drives or sightseeing. However, do be sure to tell your driver or guide in advance so he won't wait for you. Be quiet. Part of the beauty of the African bush is the silence and serenity. If you notice others aren't speaking, it's probably a sign they wish you weren't either.
On game drives you risk scaring away the animal you want to see by shouting or speaking loudly. Quietly point out to the driver the animals in question and be assured he'll respond appropriately. Be considerate. Some in your group may want to keep moving while others want to linger to get that perfect shot. If your group is large, you can often sort yourselves out into minibuses of people with similar habits. Don't assume that you are the only person who likes the front seat. It's always best to ask. Refrain from smoking in vehicles and during meals. Don't be a complainer. Most problems are pretty easy to rectify when the right person knows about them. If something is bothering you tell the person concerned or your guide. You're on the adventure of a lifetime!
Africa is a paradise for photography, but do not wait until you arrive to become familiar with new gear. Take equipment that you have used before. While film is for sale in Africa, it is expensive and limited. Be sure to take along plenty and buy it before you leave home. Take extra batteries for your light meter, and a waterproof pouch (a zip lock bag may do) to protect your camera from moisture and dust. Take extra batteries and plug-in adapters if you plan to use a video camera.
At some remote lodges and tented camps, power is produced by generators that are often turned off at night, and the current may not be powerful enough to recharge your batteries. It is smart to take a recharger that works off a vehicle battery, but bear in mind you may not be the only video buff needing a camera charged, and recharging often requires the vehicle engine be on. Larger lithium batteries that you can wear on your belt will last longer. In many tombs, temples or 'closed' museums, you may be asked to pay a fee of $3 for taking photographs, or $30 for use of a video camera. As a protective measure to protect the color of ancient art, some tombs and temples do not allow the use of a flash, or strobe.
The electric current in Africa is 220-240 AC. Dual voltage appliances may still need an adapter for the plug, usually British-style flat three-prong. See plug in adaptors for the various formats. Some hardware stores sell a multi-functional adaptor that has all the basic plug in prongs.
You may bring into East Africa any personal effects, including cameras, and an unlimited amount of film. Products made from endangered species may not be taken out of the country. Do not be tempted to buy ivory, tortoise shell, or elephant skin products.
In addition to your valid passport, visas are required for Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda Premier Vacations Africa will obtain the necessary visas for a small service fee. Application forms and instructions are now available online, including photo requirements for each visa.
Since you will be met upon arrival at the airport and escorted to your hotel, you will not need any local currency before you reach the hotel, where you can obtain it. However, if time permits, airport exchanges often give better rates than hotels. There is now a large number of registered Forex Bureaus where you can change your money safely and at excellent rates. Major Credit Cards are often accepted in larger towns and at lodges, but in markets and with vendors along the road, cash works best, and bargaining is expected.
We recommend that you take traveler's checks rather than carrying large amounts of cash. Many travelers find it useful to carry a hand calculator to estimate dollar values while shopping. ATM machines are not widespread and may only be found in major capitals; consult your own bank before departure.

Created by architect Adam Kalkin under the patronage of UNESCO, Musée Mobile is a containerised portable space that has been created to bring the work of internationally renowned contemporary artists direct to children.
In the course of a year, the project will travel through France and Africa, covering 8,000km and culminating in Dakar for the African Contemporary Art Biennale in 2012.
Being versed with the exacting nature of the artist's work, and having contributed to previous examples of James Turrell's Perpetual Cell series, Westgreen were once again appointed to contribute our design and construction expertise.
"Where art meets architecture, we have always been able to rely on Westgreen. Across so many miles and countries, the Mobile Museum has permitted James Turrell's bright artwork to keep shining and amazing the children all around the world.
"A big and warm 'thank you' to the whole Westgreen's team!" Ingrid Brochard, MoMu

Full Moon above St George
Anthony Ayiomamitis
Athens -
Date: 2009 August 4
Our closest celestial neighbor has kept us company for at least four billion years and has entertained our imagination in a variety of ways. The TWAN photographer made this image as a follow-up to his other similar efforts involving the rising (full) moon near dusk and against well-known landmarks in Greece including archaeological grounds. Such an exercise requires careful planning and execution so that the azimuth and altitude of the rising moon match precisely with the foreground landmark of interest. Also important is the time during late afternoon that such an attempt is executed, for one requires balanced lighting between the foreground landmark and the bright rising (full) moon. Once all of these factors are available simultaneously with respect to lighting balance (full moon and landmark foreground) as well as azimuth and altitude, a result such as the one above involving the Church of Saint George atop Lycabettus Hill in Athens is realized. Lycabettus Hill ("Hill of the Wolves") is located at the center of Athens. It is approximately 280 meters high and is the highest of the seven hills which characterize the Greek capital. At the top of the hill, one will find the Church of Saint George and which is a very popular tourist attraction during summers for viewing the setting sun in the distance and as was the case below when the image was taken, for the setting sun had just set a few minutes earlier and most of the tourists visible in the image had set their sights on the rising moon in the opposite direction. The image was taken from a distance of 1380 meters and across the National Archaeological Museum of Athens so as to purposely match as closely as possible the apparent size (diameter) of the Church of Saint George and the rising 13-day old moon.

Carl-Henric Svanberg, president and CEO of Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC), yesterday stressed the critical role Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays in achieving a balanced and effective global climate change treaty at the annual UN Leadership Forum on Climate Change in New York.
Addressing the UN Secretary General, heads of state and business leaders, Svanberg outlined contributions the ICT sector can make in creating a low-carbon 21st-century infrastructure and encouraged leaders to bring ICT onto the agenda for the upcoming United Nations framework Convention on Climate Change in Copenhagen (COP15) in December.
"We owe it to future generations to leverage on technology that is available today, and failing to recognize this potential could jeopardize the world's success in reducing CO2 emissions," said Svanberg.
While studies have shown that ICT can reduce global CO2 emissions 15 percent by 2020, Ericsson believes reductions could be even greater with an innovation-driven climate agenda.
"World leaders are focused on an agenda that must deliver some 50 to 80 percent emission cuts by 2050," said Svanberg. "In order to achieve this magnitude of reductions, we must move away from incremental emission reductions to more transformative ones which can deliver measurable savings and smarter ways of doing things. ICT can increase quality of life while dramatically reducing emissions."
The GSMA, the body representing the worldwide mobile communications industry, also played a key role at the Leadership Forum on Climate Change and commended the efforts of Ericsson.
"Both Ericsson and the mobile industry are committed to greater energy efficiency and together we can also be a low carbon catalyst for people and machines," said Rob Conway Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board of GSMA.
Svanberg shared this same message with Nordic business leaders and the UN Secretary-General last May at the World Business Summit on Climate Change in Copenhagen. There, Svanberg stressed the importance of moving away from dealing with emissions after they have already occurred, and instead focus on moving ideas, not people, with broadband being society's new highways.
"Modern ICT solutions, ranging from education and information services, smart grids, e-health as well as intelligent transport, can give access to vital services all over the world, without sacrificing our environment," said Svanberg. "Investments in ICT can also stimulate economic growth."
Through innovative solutions, mobile is able to lower emissions and drive energy efficiency in other sectors but it can also improve communication, health, distribution, education and other indispensable services in low-income areas.
Svanberg concluded his remarks at the Leadership Forum urging world leaders to work together to find solutions that will create a carbon-lean economy.
Mr. Conway concurred: "Therefore we call upon governments and the COP15 to ensure that mobile solutions are at the vanguard of the global fight to prevent climate change and mitigate its consequence, "he added.
"Change will require the commitment and actions of all levels of society, governments, industry, civil society and individuals," said Svanberg. "A committed global effort at COP15 is essential to secure both environmental sustainability and economic development, and ICT should be at the heart of this."

You were so right! They do look great together!
You were so right! They do look great together!
Thank you!
The forward helix is so much happier with the bioflex bar in it now, the bump that was there has completely disappeared and since the gem is much smaller I haven't accidentally bumped it so I have no more pain there at all.
The conch was a bit irritated for the first week of being changed to a ring despite it having no problems before. I got my piercer to check it because it had swelled up and been bleeding and she said it wasn't a big deal but if it was still bothering me after a week to come back and get it changed back to a bar.
I did a couple of warm salt soaks and it hasn't bled since and the bumps are hardly visible anymore although it hurts a little if I sleep on it, otherwise no problems!

Looks great I have had a double forward helix done recently which is being a bit of a pain, I'm waiting for them to settle as I want a conch too. You're right they look awesome together and I really want to get a ring in the conch when it heals too. I hope they're still doing well for you, very pretty

Patricia Borgognone stood near the door of her namesake Italian restaurant in the Morris Park section of the Bronx, welcoming customers. She embraced most of them as if they were dear friends, before ushering them into the packed, dimly lit dining room.
There, her husband, Calogero, who goes by his middle name, Louie, hopped from table to table chatting up diners, many of whom stood up to greet him. The room's exposed brick walls and oversize iron chandeliers brought in an element of romance. Italian and Latin music played over the chatter, while servers emerged from the kitchen balancing large plates of garlicky mussels, thin-crust pizzas, and chicken Parmesan.
Were patrons at Patricia's of Morris Park there to socialize or for the food? On that Sunday, it looked like a tossup.
"We're lucky that it's crowded like this every night," Ms. Borgognone said. "I think we're lucky that most of our customers keep coming back and have become our friends," her husband added.
The couple, who immigrated to the United States from Italy (he came in 1959, and she arrived in 1976), opened their restaurant nearly 25 years ago in a smaller space next door to its current address. It was something of an unplanned venture. Mr. Borgognone, a trained pastry chef, was working as a baker at Veniero's, the legendary bakery in the East Village, and Ms. Borgognone was a stay-at-home mother to their four children. "We love good food and had a lot of cousins in the restaurant business," Ms. Borgognone said.
The Borgognones moved to the larger location nearly eight years ago at the encouragement of one of their sons, the restaurateur Alessandro Borgognone, who is the owner of Sushi Nakazawa and a co-owner of Chumley's in Manhattan. (Alessandro occasionally makes guest appearances in the kitchen at Patricia's.) The pastas, including the gnocchi and squid ink spaghetti, are homemade, as are all the desserts. Mr. Borgognone gets to the restaurant every day at 6 a.m. to make them: the tiramisù, the almond biscotti, the lemon tarts.
Ricardo and Bonnie Morales, who live in Morris Park, discovered Patricia's three years ago. "We heard about this place from friends, and now you can't get us out," said Ms. Morales. "We're Puerto Rican, and our culture is about warmth and hospitality, and Patricia's feels like we're home."
They were in that Sunday with their college-age daughter, Carnelina, who was working her way through chicken Marsala and an angel-hair pasta with garlic oil.
A few tables away from the Moraleses, John and Maria Reilly, longtime regulars, were celebrating their 56th wedding anniversary. They were joined by their friends — all Patricia's regulars — Frank and Camille Agovino, their daughter, Linda, and their son-in-law, Ronny.
"We love the vibe in here so, of course, we wanted to celebrate our special day here," said Mr. Reilly, as he sipped a glass of red wine.
"You're not going to find better Italian food anywhere else," Mr. Agovino said.
All the diners seemed to be equally enthusiastic about their meals. Jon Annunziata, of Country Club, in the Bronx, accompanied by his stepfather, Jerry Potolsky, both of whom have been customers for more than two decades, snapped pictures of three pizzas: chicken and prosciutto; shrimp with vodka sauce; and roasted vegetables. A round of pastas would come next. "This restaurant gets better with age," Mr. Annunziata said. "It's my happy place."
He proceeded to take a bite of pizza, but then, Mr. Borgognone walked over, and Mr. Annunziata's priorities changed. He put his slice down and jumped up, and the two men hugged as if they hadn't seen each other in months. In fact, Mr. Annunziata had eaten at Patricia's only two days before.

What Sober Brands Can Learn From…
Americans spend $45 billion per year drunk shopping. Forty-five BILLION dollars. That's what The Hustle found in its survey of…
Unless you've been living under a bridge, you've probably come across the terms "KonMari" and "consumer minimalism" more than once. But you may not know what they mean. Ironically, if you have been living under a bridge, you probably understand both terms better than anyone else.
KonMari and the wider consumer minimalism trend are changing the way that a significant portion of the western world thinks about shopping and consumerism in general. This can seem like a threat to many eCommerce companies; however, that may not be the case. Let's explore these trends in detail and find out just what they mean for eCommerce brands of all shapes and sizes.
Marie Kondo, and her lifestyle brand KonMari, are at the forefront of a tidiness movement. Through books, Netflix and popular culture, Kondo is encouraging millions of people across the world to declutter their homes, treasure their items and throw away anything that doesn't "spark joy."
Keele University Psychology Lecturer Chris Stiff explains that Kondo's method goes way beyond tidiness. "The KonMari method prescribes not just simple tidiness, which removes objects from sight, but the paring down and organizing belongings so that you have precisely what you need, where you need it." There are several steps to the method, he says:
Eco-Chick Founder Starre Vartan says that it isn't so much about tidying as it is about considering items in a different way. "Our things, whether clothing, decorative objects, tools or kitchen appliances, take time, attention and energy, so only those worthy of that expenditure are worth keeping."
Items that are unused or unloved end up being a distraction that causes us both guilt and stress. By using Kondo's approach, you become more thoughtful about your possessions, care for them more and end up consuming less.
The KonMari method isn't stopping at tidying the home, writes Fortune's Rachel King. Consumer minimalism is being introduced to every corner of our lives. "Searches related to Kondo, KonMari and even "folding shirts" hit breakout levels in conjunction with the Netflix release, based on Google Trends data," she explains, referring to the reality show "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo," released on January 1, 2019.
It isn't just Marie Kondo pushing the pursuit of less, notes Jonny Hughes, CEO of the World Conservation Monitoring Centre. He points to one group in particular, the Minimalists, who claim to have helped more than 20 million people live meaningful lives with less.
People aren't just taking this approach for their own well-being, says Hughes. They are also doing it for the environment. "Reduced demand for consumer goods cuts pollution and energy consumption, and takes pressure off global ecosystems. Even if we manage to recycle 100 percent of materials in a circular economy and achieve 100 per cent renewable energy, purchasing fewer products in the first place will still be the best option for reducing our environmental impact," he explains.
Nor are the Minimalists the only influencers.
Renee Juliene Karunungan at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research notes, "There is also Project 333, a minimalist fashion project that invites people to dress with 33 items or less for 3 months and 100 Thing Challenge, started by David Bruno, who challenged himself to own only 100 things. And then there is also the tiny house movement, a movement that encourages simple living by living in, yes, tiny houses. Add to that the zero waste movement, challenging people to live with, you guessed it, zero waste."
Millions follow the teachings of Marie Kondo and other minimalists; however, the pursuit of less isn't embraced by everyone. It's fair to say that there are a fair share of detractors.
While people may think minimalism is a protest against capitalism, this approach to living actually relies on it, says Erin Stewart at Overland. "Streamlined spaces are for streamlined people who lead streamlined existences. It's a labour-intense and potentially expensive way to live."
That's not the only issue Stewart has with the movement. Clutter is heavily frowned upon to the point where people who suffer from disabilities or lack the financial resources to live without storing things can feel shame.
There's also the environmental impact of throwing so much out, notes Alexandra Spring at The Guardian. The bags of discarded items at the end of a Marie Kondo cleaning session don't just drop off the face of the earth. They have to go somewhere and often that place is the landfill, even if you donate them to charity first.
It's not just the item that we discard, either, Spring adds. "We're chucking out more than greying T-shirts and old tax receipts. While that cotton T-shirt only cost you $10, there were countless resources that went into it: the materials, the water, the energy, the labour, the transport and the packaging is all being wasted too."
Matching demographics to trends is never easy or straightforward, but if there is one generation aligning themselves with minimalism more than any other it is millennials. As consumers, they have a particular set of values shaped by the recession, a slow job market and soaring student debt, which means they prefer shopping less than other generations, says Retail Analyst Deborah Weinswig. Rather than buy stuff, they prefer to spend money on experiences. When they do buy products, they often favor ethical and sustainable items.
On the face of it, consumer minimalism seems like a threat to eCommerce as a whole. Fewer people buying fewer things is bad for business. But dig into the trend a little deeper and there are plenty of opportunities.
"While retailers may cringe at the rise of the minimalist movement, which preaches sustainability by encouraging people to downsize wardrobes and give away possessions, others wonder if the decluttering trend has created an incongruous push for consumers to buy more stuff," says CBC Reporter Duncan McCue.
Plenty of companies are already cashing in on the minimalist movement. "Minimalist products" such as shelves, racks and other storage options, allow clutter conscious consumers to make the most of their space. You can buy how-to books, take online courses and have consultants KonMari your home.
For those wanting a minimalist home environment but still have all of the comforts of modern life, eCommerce offers a handy solution. There's no need to stockpile items when they can be delivered to your door at the click of a button, after all.
The use of technology to quickly service needs is something that has even been touted by Kazuma Yamauchi, the Co-founder of KonMari Media. With something like Amazon Dash, for example, necessities can be restocked at the push of a button. "We no longer live in a time where we have as much attachment to keeping and wanting to have as many items. The idea of attachment and consumption is changing," he says.
Consumer minimalism isn't so much about not buying anything, it's more about loving what you own. If eCommerce brands want to build brand loyalty even among consumer minimalists, focusing on producing quality products is going to be essential.
This is the opinion of Seattle-based Interior Designer Brian Paquette. "My thoughts on her teachings are actually less about organizing and clutter and more about how things in your home must 'spark joy.' From the sofa, to searching months and months for the perfect vintage rug, right on down to the towels and napkins [clients] use on a daily basis, it all should spark joy."
Consumers are sick of mass-produced goods, writes the team at Flagship Bank. Instead, they want quality products that make them seem unique. Rather than buying lots of products, they want fewer pieces with more impact — and they are willing to pay more for them.
This is perfect for retailers, notes Flagship. Brands can create something really meaningful while enjoying the higher profit margins that come with selling less for more.
It's not just in their products that eCommerce brands can take lessons from the consumer minimalism movement. Marketing efforts could also be better off with a minimalist approach, writes Business Journalist Nicola Kemp. "Digital communication has undoubtedly become disposable, with consumers proving brutal in their dismissal of uninspiring marketing. In line with this shift, many in the industry believe that brands should fundamentally rethink their approach to engaging consumers."
This is especially important if you are trying to target millennials, writes Millennial Marketing Consultant Jeff Fromm. "There's physical and digital clutter, with clogged social media feeds peppered with mindless updates and a constant barrage of unwanted online ads. Making sure that your brand is not only talking about value but living a valuable brand life is vital in being meaningful to millennials."
Consumer minimalism should not be ignored by any eCommerce brand. That doesn't mean that every eCommerce company has to act on it, however. Clearly, some stores are better suited to adopting elements of the trend and targeting purchase-conscious customers than others. Nor should stores adopt minimalist or quality-based approaches for the sake of gaining customers. That kind of blatant advertising is the antithesis of the movement and will be quickly sniffed out by the very customers you're trying to attract.

The ever resolute Nollywood actress, Nkiru Syvalnus has finally broken the long observed silence after she gave out her words on the rumour peddled by rumour-mongers over her alleged romance with the Imo state governor, Owelle Rochas Anayo Okorocha. Describing the long meted rumour on her as being horrendous and handiwork of disgruntled politicians, the fair-skinned actress in an exclusive interview (not codewit.com) stated below:
It is unfortunate that people can say such false stories. I've been working for this man even before he decided to contest for the gubernatorial election. During the elections in Imo State I was all over the State. I attended every major campaign event for His Excellency, Governor Okorocha. I was there when he declared his interest to aspire for the office of governor in Imo state. Then, people did not talk about my alleged relationship with him.
They saw me on T.V they heard me on the Radio, they saw me take part in the Street Rallies, they saw me at the INEC office in Owerri, yet nobody talked about me being in a relationship with him. Now that God has made it possible for him to become a governor the rumour mongers have started talking. All of a sudden, they accuse me of sleeping with a man I look up to as my mentor and father simply because he appointed me as one of his advisers. Some people in our society find it very hard to believe that a lady can ever get anything on merit, especially in the Nigerian context.
Once a lady gets to a top position in government or any other sector in the society and it happens to come from a man, it is often assumed that she is romantically linked to the man. This mindset of our people is not good at all and it needs to be addressed. I believe that a lot of women out there have got what it takes to arrive at the top without sleeping around with men. But I am not discouraged because I know that it is the hand-work of detractors and disgruntled politicians.

The character, played by Simon Gregson, has never been lucky in love – will this one stick?
Coronation Street's serial groom Steve McDonald will say "I do" for the seventh time after he asks Tracy Barlow to be his wife – again.
The cobbles stalwart, played by Simon Gregson, will get down on bended knee in a forthcoming episode to ask Tracy, played by Kate Ford, for her hand in marriage.
The couple have been an item since reuniting around Christmas, although they were previously married in 2012.
Steve, who has been a popular Corrie character since 1989, has also been married to Vicky Arden (Chloe Newsome), twice to Karen Phillips (Suranne Jones), Becky Granger (Katherine Kelly) and Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh).
A show source told The Sun: "Steve McDonald might not be the best looking bloke in soap history, but boy has he had some romances.
"In the next few weeks he will be seen going down on one knee to Tracy, who duly accepts."
"It's the seventh time he's been married, but writers are still to decide if they'll get down the aisle, as love is never straightforward in Weatherfield."

Improving Services For LGBT People In Scotland
Whilst lesbian gay and bisexual people now have legal equality in Scotland, many LGBT people still experience prejudice and discrimination in their daily lives. Unhealthy Attitudes Scotland, released in August 2015, revealed that LGBT people still have poor experiences of health and social care, with homophobic and transphobic language continuing to be a problem.
Our hate crime research in 2013 revealed that one in six LGBT people in Scotland have experienced a hate crime in the last three years.
LGBT hate crime and LGBT experiences of health and social care remain key concerns for Stonewall Scotland, and we're committed to working with the public sector to tackle these vital issues.
As part of this, Stonewall Scotland will be hosting a series of round tables focusing on LGBT hate crime and LGBT experiences of health and social care. These round tables will give key organisations the opportunity to discuss these issues, to hear how other key agencies are responding to these issues and share best practice, as well as to talk with Stonewall staff.
Round tables will be held in Inverness, Aberdeen and Glasgow, and are open to all interested parties.
The first session (09:30 until 11:00) will focus on health and social care, followed by an discussions on hate crime from 11:30 until 13:00. Attendees are very welcome to attend either or both sessions, and all attendees will be invited to stay for a networking lunch afterwards.
