Lisa, Kaiser absolutely is missing concerning dealing with suicidal individuals. For very seriously suicidal teenagers, they might refer you to a locked facility, its in the north bay I feel. If not, managed health strategies are just that, they fight to provide you with the utmost benefit for probably the most managed Expense.

Individually, I believe It really is far better to possess an open up relationship together with your health care provider, hiding items is not any fantastic. If you're concerned about buying unique wellbeing insurance Down the road, you can get your protection stripped when you lie whatsoever, whether or not they see you took prescription drugs within the new previous (kaiser) or in the considerably previous.

Superior for yourself, but they even put my sixteen calendar year previous relative on it with out scheduling any counseling for her and with horrible follow-up. We last but not least acquired her insurance policy changed and she has considering that received the very best treatment with equally medication and counseling assistance. With Kaiser when we asked for counseling for her (she was working with feelings of suicide), she was only allowed to agenda one particular pay a visit to each individual two weeks even when she must have been seeing a person at the very least the moment every week whilst she was under-going some genuinely rough things.
Effectively, I at last ended up in the ER having a psych crisis ahead of I could get some Prozac and many Xanax. They are good men and women, though the process is so fucked up It truly is hard for them to help you. So, go there while you still have any Power left. The MFT gave me a you could check here listing of sliding scale therapy destinations to visit, and likewise an index of Kaiser psychologists which have their particular apply on the facet. For those who utilised medicines and that's a difficulty for yourself, It truly is much better to speak about it and get assistance, no matter if It really is on your own report or not. However, if which was up to now and you are not utilizing them anymore, Never convey to.
Until finally nearly several weeks ago, no insurance policy co. needed to deal with psychological health and fitness care since they do regular care. Any insurance coverage can withhold mental health treatment or just go over some should they wished. You really know what altered it?
at last, you make the accusation that she is an irresponsible Instructor if she did not report the physician to kaiser. for all she is aware, This can be common exercise at kaiser, and her contacting them can be a complete waste of time.
0 testimonials view I just lately attempted to get enable at Kaiser due to depression a few Long-term agony challenge. I'd to attend 2 months for an appointment. It's a whole crapshoot simply because you can't investigation your therapist. I used to be lucky, the MFT I observed was terrific, but their caseload is so big that she will be able to only see me each individual six months. They need you to definitely check out "team" but even the MFT mentioned Individuals teams are so overloaded that at a number of them you just go and hear the therapist read the fabric to you. I requested for an appointment with a psychiatrist and had to wait 4 weeks.

I started looking at Dr Kaiser two years back for Grownup Incorporate/ADHD and wholeheartedly advocate him as 1) a professional in Increase/ADHD; 2) a physician of psychiatry; and 3) a specialist who really cares in regards to the well getting of his individuals. Through the years I have viewed 3 psychiatrists for Incorporate/ADHD, and I'd personally...more
so to reply your final dilemma, no. Your privacy is speculated to be strongly guarded, Until you will be discussing inside the HMO of kaiser. in that circumstance, Sure, any health practitioner the thing is at kaiser should be able to see any current drugs you're using. I'm exhausted, I hope I sound right below.

When I begin the enlistment process in the next few months for 18X, I intend enlist under a 6-year contract to accept the Loan Repayment Program (LRP) enlistment incentive (if it is available) and the Post 9/11 GI Bill. The first 3 years covers the LRP and the GI Bill is covered in the last 3 years. This is only doable by waiving the Montgomery GI Bill, confirmed by local Army recruiter. The LRP covers all federal student loans which is great, but there is a section of the LRP that covers
HoweverAny loan incurred for educational purposes made by a lender that is -
- an agency or instrumentality of a State;
- a financial or credit institution (including an insurance company) that is subject to examination and supervision by an agency of the United States or any State;
- from a pension fund or a non-profit private entity (subject to case-by-case review)
I am going to take out a non-federal student loan to complete my studies this summer, and I would obviously like it to be covered under the LRP, but I don't speak Army yet and this is as far as I could get from the HRC page. My question is: Does anyone have any experience with this or advice on how to proceed so that I get a loan from a qualified lender?There are many loans that do not qualify. Individuals should ensure loans are covered under the Higher Education Act, Title IV, Part B, D, and E or any loan incurred for educational purposes made by a lender for the Soldier prior to signing the enlistment agreement. Listed below are several loans that are not covered under this Act:
- Private Loans
- State Funded Loans
- Institution Loans
- Equity Loans
- Consolidated Loans for someone else (wife, sister, brother, etc)
- Parent Loans incurred for someone other than the LRP participant
- USAA Loan

Here's a better view of the previous post. The collaged elements are taken from a tourist pamphlet of Washington, DC and the aerobics class schedule at my gym (which has been hanging in my studio unused for months). That pink seemed right and, really, who am I kidding? I certainly had good intentions when I posted that schedule, but it was time to put it to better use.

Ratings and Reviews
New design is terrible
I used to love this app it had a convenient, simple design and I could easily navigate the internet. After the new update, I can't say any of these things about Chrome. I understand it's an app, things will change every now and then. But this is a major change that can risk a lot of your users.
The design itself is clunky and strange. There is no more swipe to remove a tab. The toolbar at the bottom (that auto hides, which I personally hate) is ugly, takes up space, and is a downgrade from the user friendly previous version of Chrome I loved. Not to mention it looks like a carbon copy of Safari. Like someone else said in a recent review, If we had to go on the App Store and DOWNLOAD Chrome, rather than use the pre-downloaded Safari, why would you think we liked the design of Safari?
I think you should return to the old design or at least give us an option to go back with Settings. The majority of your users dislike the Safari design, therefore you shouldn't try to make a copy of them. I will use Safari from now on, until it is updated to look better, because I might as well if your apps look almost exactly alike.
New Tabs Lack Privacy
I'm a loyal user of chrome since It's introduction i found it to be one of the better browsers for It's simplicity and privacy compared to other browsers especially when using the mobile app but this update has me searching for other browsers for the simple fact that with the new tabs are now easily displayed (history bookmarks recent)this means anyone using my phone can now have the ability to click on the tab and view all my pages visited.
That is a huge no no for me as I I'm very meticulous when it comes to security and data protection. This new update does not make me comfortable at all as now i feel like anytime I close off a page i must clean my history on the off change that someone uses my phone and gets curious with the tabs right out in the open.
With the menu option on the bottom of the page that has the same listing (settings history bookmarks etc) i don't see the need for the Tabs under the search bar...it should at least be optional and can be either kept or removed by the user. I hope this can be rectified soon i really don't want to switch to another browser
Lost all my browser tabs!
Very mad I lost over 100 open browser tabs I had collected over the last couple of months that I needed to go through and read/bookmark/take care of/close. I opened the app one day and they were all closed. I went to recent tabs and it was blank!!!
I even went to other devices on my computer and the recent tabs under my iPhone was Blank also!!!! (because google programmed it so it over wrote my previously opened tabs with my new blank version!!!)
What a freaking nightmare so infuriating! I'll never find out what those 100 tabs I had opened were and there are many lost opportunities now. No viewing my history doesn't help. I have over 5000 pages of history from the last few months obviously it's impossible to go through all of that and try to pick out the tabs. Google Chrome needs to build in a history of opened tabs at least for the last couple of months! That takes bytes of data and saves a massive amount of headache and a nightmare like this! I can't believe they haven't made this a fundamental feature of the app already it's almost 2019 and the only option for that kind of thing is by downloading a special browser extension on the desktop but it's not even available for the iPhone/iPad.
Because of this I don't want to use chrome anymore as not only is it a privacy problem with google having all of your data but it's a serious work hazard with Google LOSING all of your data so I'm looking for other browser options that don't have this problem.

Thanks to those who have commented on my blog recently and I know I have been slacking on updating this blog and I just can't help it. I have been busy with few other things at home and work and the virus hit me again and again I am down with fever.
I did scrapped last week and managed to finished a couple of layouts which I am yet to share with all of you. I promise I will share all of them soon, I have also signed up with the upcoming class that will be held in November at Scrappingville and I just can't wait to go. Thanks to Sharon for inviting me to join the class. Plus, I received a lot of orders on scrapbooks which friends and family requested me to scrap their photos and I just can't say no. I also did a lot of shopping just to replenish my supply and it is never enough. Do you agree with me?
On another note, I have also found a new "guru" for my tatting after so many e-mails back and forth with her and I might be going for my tatting class next week. I have bought all the tools and threads for my tatting class and I just can't wait to tat.
To all that visiting my blog, thanks and have a great weekend everyone.

Colorado-based Electronic Music Artist Paper Diamond Set to Play Clutch Cargo's Saturday With Zeds Dead
Traffic reporters recommend taking MARTA to avoid congestion in the Piedmont Park area. For information on schedules and ticket prices, visit www.itsmarta.com. Other weekend events include the PGA Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club, the Georgia Tech-North Carolina football game at noon Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium and the Georgia State-Jacksonville State football game at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Georgia Dome. In Athens, the University of Georgia plays North Texas at Sanford Stadium, with kickoff at 12:21 p.m. Construction crews will be placing beams on the I-85 and Ga. 400 Interchange project this weekend, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation. The project will close two lanes on I-85 northbound from Piedmont Road to Ga. 400 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. There also will be work associated with the project on Sidney Marcus Boulevard, Cheshire Bridge Road, Lenox Road and Buford Highway. Construction crews also will be closing single lanes on I-285, I-75 and I-20 to conduct drain cleaning and shoulder sweeping.
We signed with Columbia Records in Japan when I was 19. I was going to Japan every year, Australia, all that. I'm still so inspired by the people and the connection between me and the people. For me, music is an escape from daily life and from the hardships that I deal with and other people deal with. I try and create that for everyone else. If my music can help you escape some stuff and just be in a different world for a little bit, then I have done my job. What inspires you? How do you keep that passion alive? I love music and I love technology, and I love seeing where it's going. Some people kind of like 'Whatever…'. With the new technology there's going to be the older people that are hating. Think about it generationally, it's like that.
Xbox Music doesn't list genres/categories/channels so you must actively search for content until you build Collection and Playlists, which I found mildly annoying. Once again, the Xbox Music Windows tablet app one-ups the iPhone versionit features over a dozen music categories. Why this is omitted from the iPhone build is a headscratcher. It also lacks Google Music's digital locker features. You build Collections and Playlists by tapping and holding the screen to open the "Add To" prompt. Likewise, tapping and holding a track opens an option to remove a song from a Collection or Playlist. Content and Sound Quality Xbox Music, like its rivals, doesn't have any egregious holes in its 30-million-song-strong music library, so I had no problem finding Arcade Fire, Led Zeppelin, Parliament-Funkadelic, and Minnie Ripperton content. I discovered that a comedy album or two were M.I.A. (such as Joe Rogan's "I'm Gonna Be Dead Someday…"), but I was pleased with the catalog. Slacker Radio still outclasses Xbox Music with its ESPN live radio, lifestyles offerings, The Weather Channel content, and themed channels (such as the "33 Greatest All-American Divas"). The sound quality of Xbox Music, on the other hand, is quite good. I thoroughly enjoyed my Midnight Marauders listening session due to Xbox Music's loud, crisp audio. As I listened, however, I discovered that the service lacked song lyrics.
Justin Timberlake Previewing 'More Dangerous' Music This Weekend
By Jocelyn Vena (@jocelyn1212) Justin Timberlake has a few tricks up his sleeve going into this weekend's iHeartRadio Music Festival . And some of the rabbits he's pulling out of his top hat are unreleased tracks off The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2 out September 30. "It's gonna be fun to play this year. Well I have not put the set list together yet because, as you know, I procrastinate on things like that. We're looking at playing some new material from the second half of this record," the "Take Back The Night" singer said of the follow-up to March's The 20/20 Experience in an interview with Ryan Seacrest on Thursday. Timberlake has already teased to MTV News that the second half will be the "more dangerous" older sister, saying, "The first half the sun is out the second half the moon is out, I don't know." In addition to new music, Timberlake will soon hit the big screen in "Runner Runner" alongside Batman himself, Ben Affleck. "It's an exciting movie it's a lot of fun too. I got excited when I first read the script because it reminded me of a certain genre of thriller that you and I probably grew up with," he said of the film, which hits theaters on October 4. "The characters are really intelligent. It just felt like a nice little twist but also an homage to the thrillers that I love growing up. And then Ben Affleck signed on. We had a lot of fun shooting it. It's smart and it's got a lot in it." The same day he appeared on Seacrest's radio show, the "Today" show teased a part of their upcoming interview with the pop star, where he weighs in on Miley Cyrus' headline-making VMA performance, which he previously likened to performances from Britney Spears and Madonna . "I don't know that I have definitive thought in one direction or the other about it.

Apple announced iOS 12 earlier this month at its WWDC 2018 developers conference. The next major iOS update brings a number of new features including Screen Time, Grouped Notifications, Group Facetime, improved augmented reality experiences with a new Measure app and Memoji for the iPhone X. You can now get an early hands-on access on these features as Apple has released the first public beta of iOS 12 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
The public beta release means anyone with an iPhone or an iPad can download an install iOS 12. However, since this is a pre-release version of iOS 12 that is still in development, the update will be chock full of bugs and issues and it is urged that users do not install it on their primary device. That being said, eager Apple users who want to test out some of the new iOS 12 features should go ahead and install it on a secondary device. Here's what you need to keep in mind before you proceed.
Eligible iPhones and iPads
Apple announced back in WWDC 2018 that any device that is compatible with iOS 11 will be compatible with iOS 12 as well. This means that the iPhone X all the way back to the iPhone 5s will support iOS 12 and users of any of these models are eligible to download the public beta. Similarly, the update will support the current 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2nd generation all the way back to the iPad Mini 2. Lastly, the iPod touch 6th generation is also iOS 12 compatible.
How to install iOS 12 public beta
If you do plan to install the latest public beta version of iOS 12 on your primary device (or secondary device for that matter) it is important to backup you data using iTunes before doing anything further.
After backing up your data, you can head to Apple's public beta website using Safari on your eligible iOS device. Once the website has been opened, you will have to sign in to the Apple Beta Program with your Apple ID. After accepting the Agreement page, tap the iOS tab and then tap the "enroll your iOS device" link. Following this, click on the Download profile option. This will then bring up the profile area of the Settings app from where you can tap the Install button, which will reboot your device.
Once the device restarts, head over to Settings > General > Software Update and you should find the new update ready to be downloaded and installed. Once the process is complete, your device will be on the iOS public beta version and you can proceed to check the various new iOS 12 features.
iOS 12 features
After a very buggy iOS 11, Apple decided to focus on improving the performance and reliability of iOS 12. But that hasn't stopped the company from loading it up with a bunch of new features. A lot of what defines iOS 12 is augmented reality or ARKit. Specifically, ARKit has not been updated to ARKit 2 which brings improved face tracking, realistic rendering and 3D object detection, among other things.
One of the most notable AR apps announced is called Measure which allow you to measure a real object in real time via an iOS device like an iPhone or iPad. Measure uses the device's camera to look at the real object and you can tap on the object and start dragging the line to measure it in real-time. Google also has its own Measure app that recently got updated to work on ARCore-supported phones. But while Google's app looks very basic and buggy for most phones right now, Measure on iOS promises more accuracy and comprehensive.
iOS 12 also brings improvements to Photos, Apple News and Siri, among others. Apple also announced a Screen Time feature that helps users manage their time spent on the device. Grouped notifications is another feature that combines notifications from the same app together. iOS 12 is also bringing some improved parental controls with an app called Allowances that allows you to limit the time spent by children on apps.
Lastly, some iPhone X-specific features are also included, most notably with regards to Animoji. An update to Animoji lets you stick out your tongue and see your Animoji do the same. Apple also announced Memoji, which allows you to create an Animoji of yourself and you can then customise it further. iOS 12 also brings grouped Facetime that lets you Facetime with up to 32 people at once.

Watching for... LOURDES (2009, Austria/France/Germany)
"What is healing? Who is worthy of it, and why? Do miracles still happen outside of anomalies in science and nature? Does God exist, favoring one physical location? Can we verify the authenticity of those who claim He's brought a miracle, and do miracles only happen in that one physical place? Lourdes tackles all the tough questions, and breaks through with such a restrained, feminine touch that metaphysical questions like this lead less to anger than to a gentle, tender probing. A nuanced performance by Sylvie Testud as wheelchair-bound Chrstine on pilgrimage and a dip into sacred territory by writer/director Jessica Hausner make this examination of devotion to faith a noticeable standout as one of the year's best films. The intersection between science and religion has made its way into film since Frankenstein (1931), and at the end of Lourdes we're still trying to figure out whether God is the benevolent healer, or a monster in the heavens watching nature play its cruel tricks." Filmsweep
"Jessica Hausner's new film Lourdes may be the most mysterious film screened at this year's Toronto film festival, one that takes a story of religious and spiritual import and casts that world and those themes down a gauntlet that suggests Hitchcock and Tati in its supremely calibrated conceptual suspense and encircling humor. The story finds a wheelchair-bound Sylvie Testud, whose character is suffering from multiple-sclerosis, traveling with a group of pilgrims to the French town of Lourdes. We hear tales of miracles, and Hausner's restrained and stripped down aesthetic—touch points being Kaurismaki, Haneke, Roy Andersson and Eugène Green—in collaboration with its subject resembles the mise-en-scène of films that attempt to evoke a hushed world investigating if not conjuring the spiritual. Yet the tone of Lourdes is forever uncertain, or perhaps indescribable; that is, Hausner is certain of the tone she is creating but the result is ambiguous. . . .
"The structuring principle of the film, derived from Hitchcock, is to conceptualize a situation pregnant with constant audience expectation. Nearly from the first scenes we are introduced to a film world that suggests a miracle is coming, and throughout Hausner's mix of process, drama, and even a degree of restrained documentary on the sites, rituals, and pilgrims of Lourdes, we sit awaiting a manifest revelation for Sylvie Testud. When it comes, Lourdes then cannily plays the opposite game; whereas in the first half we avidly wait for something special to happen, in the second half we wait with perhaps greater baited breath for that thing to be taken away. . . .
"Expectation positive and negative, then, thoroughly pervades the film, an expectation for the kind of event that in a film by Bresson, Tarkovsky, or Dumont might be more clear cut but in Lourdes takes on this odd, calculated tone of humor, sincerity, longing, cynicism, and melancholy. . . .
"LOURDES doesn't appear programmatic and out to prove something. What it is out for may be a mystery, but its beautiful pictorial precision, hushed weirdness, and human anchoring by the silent movie captivating power of Sylvie Testud (were she alive in the 1920s she would be a global superstar) makes for a strangely beguiling, austere experience of suspense, spirit, and comedy."
Daniel Kasman, theauteurs.com
"Jessica Hausner's LOURDES demonstrates that moral values are mutable even within the parameters of religious faith. The film centers on wheelchair-bound Christine (Sylvie Tstudi), who suffers from multiple sclerosis and takes part in pilgrimages for secular reasons - travel and socializing - under the care of Order of Malta officers and volunteers. One morning, she finds she is able to move her hand. . . ."

I have posted (three times, I think now!) about this film. Your readers might be interested to read my thoughts about it, and any comments they might wish to make would be welcome.

I have question: What is the intended role of the older woman who intervenes and wheels Christine's chair? Her presence in the final scene of the film, again offering the chair and whispering in Christine's ear as other dance is strange and hypnotic...and hints at evil.

"The cake is made sell the cake. Nothing bad will happen."
Matthew told us he was going home to shower and shave. "Thank you, thank you, thank you. "C'mere, Tommy, " she says, reaching her arms our to me.
But another quickly took his place on the seat, as she was turned around then was forced down on top of his big cock as vidros was shoved straight up her tender ass.

I also have learned to dress to please and to tease. Then I pull back a little and look up towards her. As the last drops slipped down her skin she sucked drops into her mouth and swallowed. In fact, I'd suck your cock, too, Rodney. Good I'll enjoy fucking your jinn whores till they bleed to release my breathern!"

Variation in Atmospheric Pressure
1) Variation with height or vertical variation:
The pressure depends on the density or mass of the air. The density of air depends on its temperature. Its composition and force of gravity. I t is observed that the density of air decreases with increase in height so the pressure also decreases with increase in eight.
The pressure at sea level is 1013.25 mb at 50 km height it becomes 0.93 mb and 80 km it is only 0.03 mb. This indicates how rapidly the atmospheric gas becomes thinner to decrease density and so the pressure. The pressure decreases on an average at the rate of about 34 mb per every 300 meters height.
2) Horizontal variation of pressure:
The horizontal variation of atmospheric pressure depends on temperature, extent of water vapor, latitude and land and water relationship.
i)The equatorial low pressure belt :
Along the equator lies a belt of low pressure known as the equatorial low or doldrums or calm. This low pressure belt lies between 50 North and 50 South latitudes.
ii) Sub – tropical high pressure belt:
The high pressure belt are found between 24 – 300C latitudes in both the hemispheres.
iii) Low pressure belts near 600 latitudes:
The airs from this area get thrown outwards on account of the rotation of the earth and this is how the low pressure belts are created.
iv) Polar high pressure belts:
The temperature is extremely low in the Polar Regions. The air being cold and heavy throughout the year a high pressure belt is created in both Polar Regions.
3. Diurnal variation:
At a given station the pressure show the two high and two lows. On normal pressure day two maxima i.e. one at 10 a.m. and another at 10 p.m. and two minimasi.e. one at 4 a.m. and another at 4 p.m. are observed. Thus there is double oscillation caused by alternate heating and cooling of atmosphere.
Factors affecting atmospheric pressure:
1. Temperature of air
2. Altitude
3. Water vapour in air
4. Revolution and gravitation of the earth.

We, as people highly motivated by delicious foods, find cannabis edibles to be some of the most delightful innovations in the cannabis world right now. Not only are potpreneurs exploring options beyond traditional baked treats like brownies and cookies, they are refining THC and CBD content to meet different potency preferences.
Longing wistfully for a taste of summer, we at Hi&Low took it upon ourselves to sample Satori's cannabis-infused Wild Strawberries in Organic Milk Chocolate. The strawberry cannabis edibles, which are about the size of Raisinets, contain 3 mg of THC in each piece and are attractively packaged in a crisp tan box recalling kraft paper. There are 15 servings in each box, with Satori defining each serving as 3 pieces.
Each piece consists of dried wild strawberry with a coating of organic milk chocolate. Overall, we thought the cannabis taste was mild and barely perceptible, while the chocolate had a fairly rich flavor and consistency. According to Satori's website, its chocolates are made from the highest-quality ingredients, including rich, high-potency cannabis oil. The website also lists the ingredients and lab results for each product, making it easy to know what you are putting into your body.
Our group of testers took between 1 and 3 pieces each and thought Satori's recommended dose for the marijuana edibles was very accurate. A full serving (3 pieces) produced a robust but not overwhelming high, and a single piece generated a subtle but pleasant effect. We also had a consistent experience, with all reporting a peaceful, pleasant body high rather than heady and cerebral. Those who took single pieces were even able to read or work.
Overall, we liked these cannabis edibles because they made dosing controllable and easy to adjust for your mood or individual tolerance. Cannabis-infused or not, edibles should also taste good. And these chocolate-covered strawberries succeeded at that, too.
The biggest issue with these strawberries may be the self-control needed to avoid snacking on them like candy. And indeed, we all agreed that we would happily use these cannabis edibles again in the future. (Check out our tips for enjoying edibles!)

Growth may also be attributed to the complexity of payroll tax laws and the time and difficulty associated with the timely deposit of tax monies and preparation of returns. Our Tax Pay & File Service ensures regulatory compliance as tax forms and regulations change.

The VDC process may not be an exact science, but it provides predictable results — an accurate model construction teams rely on for project success. It has become an integral part of the preconstruction process, a phase that can set the project up for success by providing a roadmap for each trade to use while navigating the complexities of each project.
While it's easy to put a price on the implications of inaccurate drawings that result in costly redesigns, measuring the actual cost and potential savings of an efficient VDC process is much more difficult — until now. The MMC Contractors VDC team is working to showcase the value of modeling each project, to measure the once immeasurable. Jason Steele, manager of the Virtual Design and Construction group, explains why the team took on the challenge. "In talking with estimating, it became clear that it is really difficult to put a number to what BIM/VDC did for a project. It's clear there's a value, but we had never figured out how to quantify it. We brainstormed ways to do this, and the idea to create a historical reference on each task of every project was born," said Steele.
Steele and his team began the tedious work of creating a record — down the granular level — of each task to create a catalog organized by work phase and separated by project. "We created a structure within our internal software system where we break everything out, allowing us to drill down to job, phase, level, discipline, and task. Using a number system, we can quickly identify a specific project and task and see — down to the building floor — how much time it took us to complete that task. This really allows us to dial in and identify exactly how much time it took us to complete that phase, from drawing, coordinating, spooling, etc.," said Steele.
Having historical data at a moment's notice not only makes a modeler's job easier, but it also benefits clients during the design and estimating phases of the construction process. "We've never had such precise information, broken down in this way, available at our fingertips, so it absolutely leads to more accurate estimates," explained Steele. "With a history of comparable projects that have notated project flow and data, for all partners, we are able to compare apples to apples when estimating, and we can plan for — or avoid — potential issues on future projects."
Brad Runyan, project manager for Brasfield & Gorrie, has worked with MMC Contractors and states that this process is important. "Putting a hard figure on savings derived from virtual coordination is nearly impossible. The biggest sell is that it reduces field labor costs dramatically if the VDC process is managed efficiently. VDC allows components of a project to be fabricated offsite in a controlled environment; reduces field labor overages from stopping work to resolve clashes; reduces re-fabrication of wasted material; and allows the project to fast track. Our VDC department works hand in hand with our preconstruction teams during estimating, providing realistic virtual design expectations for each project so we can account for the time and the costs associated," said Runyan.
"Working with MMC Contractors' VDC team has been a pleasure. The team I worked with were all skilled tradesmen that have taken their knowledge to the computer. By having that field experience, they understand the value in designing for efficiency. Almost anyone can move two components in a 3D model. However, to design efficiently to benefit field installation, it takes intricate knowledge of the systems they are designing. MMC Contractors' team exemplified this experience, and it showed," said Runyan.
The quest to put hard numbers to the benefits of VDC has led to much more and extends beyond the VDC team, clients, and partners. "It's really a living document that has taken on a life of its own. It's evolved to include operations, accounting, and other departments, so everyone can reference it and pull information suited to their needs," said Steele. "Now that we've got the information in there, we're figuring out how to make it more user friendly to save even more time, making VDC that much more valuable."

Client: Red Gum BBQ
Marketing, Public Relations, Digital Content
Mornington Peninsula's Red Hill has a new offering to add to its growing list of good food destinations, with Red Gum BBQ opening the doors to their highly anticipated new permanent home, following the transformation of a local mechanics warehouse into an impressive home for BBQ and food lovers alike.
Following years of travelling from market to market armed with a small Texas Offset, a 3m x 3m Marquee and a passion to create authentic, free range Aussie-Smoked, American-Style BBQ, husband and wife duo Melissa and Martin Goffin have opened the doors to their new 900sqm home in the heart of Red Hill, with the aim to serve their much-loved, delicious and authentic American BBQ cuisine from Wednesday to Sunday 11am-9pm, each week.
From small beginnings, the scale of the new site has provided the pair with the opportunity to create the space of their BBQ dreams, complete with a huge dedicated smoke pit, a customised bar hosting 10 different craft beers and ciders and locally produced wine, a BBQ and Southern US-centric retail store as well as hand-made wooden furniture, local flora and a the 4 metre long, Texas Offset, aptly named, Big Red that could feed an army – all hidden behind four giant industrial roller doors that open to connect Red Hill's beauty with this new indoor space.
With the food being Red Gum BBQ's major draw card to date, Melissa hopes that the new space will provide a platform for people young and old to visit and enjoy Red Gum's take on traditional BBQ the way Melissa enjoyed it growing up in Southern United States.
"Every dish sings home to me," said Melissa. "Many that are served at Red Gum BBQ come from my own Grandma Cobb's handwritten recipe cards, which are all marked up with stars that show her thoughts on quality, friends names whom she got the recipes from or changes she made to perfect. They're recipes that I remember my Mom making as well which reminds me of how food connects people and places over time. It just makes me really proud that locals are letting me share that with them."
Although Melissa's fondness for BBQ dates back to her childhood, Melissa says it is husband Martin who has taken Red Gum BBQ's dishes and sauces to a new level.
"Martin's love of BBQ started back in 2002 during a visit to the States where he just loved the authenticity, the sauces, the meat, the connection, the culture – he was hooked. But it was while he was on Paternity leave in 2012 though that he decided to turn his obsession for BBQ into a shared offering, and that's when Red Gum BBQ was born. Since then, we can't believe how much people have taken to it and that we are here today. We are just so grateful."
Red Gum BBQ is located at 87 Arthurs Seat Rd, Red Hill, and provides 6-10 hour slow cooked free range Aussie-Smoked, American-Style BBQ meats, sides and veggies. Slow cooked servings of Pulled Pork, Beef Brisket, Beef Rib, Baby Back Pork Rib and Chicken are sold by the gram, with sides and veggies including Mac n Cheese, Mary Lou's Spinach Salad (Mary Lou's own recipe, obviously), Bean Chili and Cornbread starting from $6 per serve. Desserts include classic Chocolate Brownie and Banana Pudding, including frequent specials like Pumpkin Pie and Sour Cherry Pie, using cherries supplied by local Red Hill farms, and customers can also enjoy a creative selection of craft beers and boutique wines by the glass.

ROME (Reuters) - Italy's three-year budget plan targets economic growth at 1.5 percent next year, 1.6 percent in 2020 and 1.4 percent in 2021, Economy Minister Giovanni Tria said on Thursday in a letter to the European Commission.
The plan, which targets the fiscal deficit at 2.4 percent of gross domestic product next year, three times the goal set by the previous centre-left government, has already been criticized by the Commission for being too lax.
Tria's letter called on the Commission to consider "the good reasons for the growth strategy set out by the government," and said he and hoped for an "open and constructive dialogue."
"The government enters this dialogue united and confident," he said in the letter which was published by his ministry.

(Hour 3 of four hours stuck in Lagos traffic. Note Ashlyn's "sweat rag," as she fondly calls it. Ashlyn thought things couldn't get worse, until a police officer jumped into our car and demanded (I mean, 'suggested') a bribe.
You all should totally come visit me! Living in Nigeria is too much excitement for just one person!)
I woke up around 4am the other morning in a pool of sweat and in desperate need of some water. (Have I mentioned that it's hot in Nigeria? Especially when there is no power and no breeze?) I got up and grabbed an open water sachet, but halfway to my mouth I remembered that the day before I had gone to drink from an open sachet and found tiny ants floating in the bag, so I had to dump it out. Then I figured that I can't see the ants in the pitch black and probably wouldn't be able to taste them, so I drained that sachet anyway.
This incident has impressed two things upon me: 1) I sweat a lot in Nigeria and therefore drink a metric ton of water every day and 2) my standards of cleanliness and sanitation are quite low. But not as low as James' standards – he has eaten pizza after dropping it cheese-side down into wood chips. Also, a Belgium waffle that had fallen on the street, whipped cream topping and all. (I feel bad for our future children. We'll just make them eat right off the floor so that we don't have to wash extra plates.)
Now that I've brought up James, I'm going to embarrass him even more by blogging about my sweat mustache. Because sometimes Diana complains about the cold Amsterdam weather and wishes she was somewhere tropical, and I say, "Be careful what you wish for . . ." I wished to study African history (still happy with that choice, by the way), but now I've developed a permanent sweat mustache. The 'stache first appeared when we lived in Ghana. One day James, feigning indifference, asked me if I noticed that my upper lip was beaded with sweat. Of course I didn't notice – when your eyebrows and elbows and scalp and in-between-your-toes are sweating, how can you be aware of a little upper-lip sweat? But sure enough, there it was – and as fast as I could wipe it away with my handy-dandy handkerchief, it would appear again. Bummer.
(Attempting to rid myself of the 'stache.)
I found the sweat mustache extremely irritating (so did James), until I remembered the most important rule about living in West Africa (well, apart from "Drink plenty of water, but not from the tap"): You must embrace the sweat. When it's hot at home, I can move quickly from apartment to car to air-conditioned Target (for example) – there is sweat, but only for brief moments. When it's hot in Ibadan (that is, always), I have no place to hide. Sometimes, I even sweat as I'm taking my bucket bath. I sweat when I eat. I sweat when I walk. I sweat while I sit in the library. You get the point. I drink lots of water (from little plastic bags . . . so awesome) and then sweat it out. I accept the sweat; I revel in the sweat. But I always wipe away the mustache.
(Ashlyn, how do you feel about the weather?)
Standing at the top of Olumo Rock in Abeokuta . . . sweaty, but fun.

Wow indeed! Very interesting photo. Are you climbing in the photo or just happened to see other climbers? If it's you that's loooooooong exposure! You should do the same thing for the Third and the Direct on the First! Aug 4, 2015
Thanks, Justin!
CJ and Brian, it's actually like 170 30 second exposures blended together. I set up the camera on a tripod in an open area next to the Bluebell shelter (I'd scouted a good location for the camera earlier in the week), then me and two friends climbed it by headlamp while my camera clicked away till we got back. Then I imported all the images and let my computer sit for awhile while a program called StarStax did the blending. So as not to let anyone even know my (very expensive) camera set up was there, I taped all the lights on the camera and climbed at 11:30pm on a Sunday. Sep 3, 2015

Perhaps the freakiest pic on MP. Hard work and nice editing job. I'll bet your computer crunched for a while stitching that sucker, and those must be some headlamps---can you fry bacon with them? :-) Mar 29, 2016
Haha thanks, Peter. I was so happy when I got back to my camera, flipped through the shots, and could tell it was going to turn out well. I was the only one with a super bright headlamp (Petzl Nao original), the other two had regular headlamps. Mar 29, 2016

The past efforts in applying linear Taylor instability theory to the prediction of heat transfer during film boiling on a horizontal surface have suffered from the fact that empirical correlations must be used to define the shape of vapor-liquid interfaces and to determine the transport of mass and heat across these interfaces. The objective of this study is to clarify the physics of film boiling and to predict heat transfer coefficients through complete numerical simulation of the evolving interface between superposed layers of immiscible fluids. A coordinate transformation technique supplemented by a numerical grid generation method and a second-order projection method are combined to solve for the flow and temperature fields associated with an evolving interface. From the numerical simulation, the film thickness and, in turn, the heat transfer coefficient are found to vary both spatially and temporally. Increased wall superheat not only thickens the vapor film in the valley but also enlarges the vapor bulge. The effect of increased system pressure is to slow down the growth of the interface.

Automatic Responder SoftwareWritten by Dallas Smith
Today's email marketing environment almost demands strong automatic responder software. These programs continue to grow in popularity simply because of the edge they can provide to a marketing campaign. With the time you can save no longer having to manually reply to prospect inquiries, you can focus on more important aspects of your business.
Working hand in hand with the promptness of response that an autoresponder can provide is the quality of the content of your message. Because you are required to compete with so many diverse marketing messages, it's important that you're unique message gets the treatment it deserves. Many services focus on providing fast response time, but a leading service can provide with the tools to create a truly engaging message that is sure to stand out from the rest.
Automatic Responder Software: Giving You a Unique Voice
With leading automatic responder software in place, you can expect to create highly specialized messages in text or HTML format. These messages give your presentation of your product or service a level of professionalism that is mostly lacking within the email marketing world. A prospect will see immediately that they are not dealing with yet another mass-marketing message to be hastily deleted.
Instead, you'll find prospects responding to the dynamic presentation of your message that simply lays out in simple terms what you have to offer. The results can be quite dramatic, even as you send out fewer messages. In effect, you'll be making important contact with potential prospects with less effort, but with the type of lasting impression that is sure to lead to direct sales.

South Sound BIZ magazine is announcing the 2017 South Sound Top Places to Work this week with a series of Facebook Live events, accompanied by CEO Lon Wilson of Albers & Company and ConnectHR, supporting sponsors of this recognition program.
KMB architects of Olympia is the largest South Sound architecture firm today, after three decades of growth. And with near-record profits in 2016, it's clearly also a Top Place to Work, collecting the mid-sized employer award in this established recognition program, adds to two citations from prior years.
This year's judges found KMB to be "a stand-out nominee for its strong mentoring culture and succession planning." It also offers employees unlimited paid time off from their date of hire, pays fully for employees' health insurance and accommodates work-from-home, when appropriate. Seventy percent of managerial positions have been filled with in-house promotions.
"As KMB has continued to grow," wrote one employee in a confidential survey, "there has been investment in the 'next generation' (of building designers.)" The firm has also created a career pathway with the local community college that helps educated design technicians to learn their way to official accreditation.
"KMB is a great place to work because it is a very professional, yet very personal, environment," reads another employee survey. "It is clearly understood that everyone has something great to offer."
You can share in the recognition event for KMB architects on the Business Examiner Facebook page or by clicking this link above.

We observe a correlation between the Earth tide and earthquake occurrence that is closely related to the regional tectonic stress. We investigate the direction of the tidal compressional stress using shallow earthquakes occurring in 100 subregions of Japan for nearly five years. The azimuthal distribution of the compressional stress obtained for the observed earthquake data is compared with that synthesized for random earthquake occurrence. Statistical analysis confirms a significant difference between the observed and random catalogs for 13 subregions, which include the areas where unusual seismic activities took place recently, and where the possibility of future large earthquakes has been argued. For these subregions, earthquakes preferentially occur when the tidal compressional stress is near the dominant direction of P-axes of focal mechanisms obtained in the corresponding subregions. This suggests that the tidal stress may encourage earthquake occurrence when it acts in the direction to increase the regional tectonic stress.
Key words
- Tidal triggering of earthquakes
- tectonic stress
- statistical test

Bush Valley Amateur Radio Club will take part in the world renowned 'Museums On The Air' radio event for the first time later this month.
The club will be located at The Green Lane Museum in The Roe Valley Country Park and will transmit over the weekend of 27th and 28th June.
The club hope to have two stations running close to the main entrance of the museum with the intention of operating on many different bands and modes using the call GB8GLM.
This Special Event Station will use the call sign GB8GLM. The GB8 refers to Region 8 within the UK and the suffix GLM for of course, Green Lane Museum.
The intention of the event is to contact amateur radio special event stations at as many museums as possible throughout the world.
This event has proven itself to be extremely popular and well supported, particularly amongst the UK radio amateur population. It also gives the museums and the public a chance to see Radio Amateurs operate radios and hopefully explain how they work.
Located within the beautiful surroundings of Roe Valley Country Park, Green Lane Museum gives visitors the opportunity to view historical exhibits relating to local trades, agriculture and linen production and to experience the true flavour of days gone by in Limavady.
Pack a picnic, grab a comfortable jacket and come along to see GB8GLM on the dRoe Valley Country Park.

- 2017 GBP EUR Exchange Rate Near 1.17 – But still below weekly highs
- UK Manufacturing Data Disappoints – But services data impresses on Wednesday
- Eurozone Retail Sales Impress – ECB President Draghi speech ahead
- Forecast: Trade Data Due Friday – UK and German trade reports from February
2017 GBP EUR Exchange Rate Rises from Lows on Solid UK Services Data
Wednesday's European session saw the 2017 GBP EUR exchange rate recover about half of this week's losses. However, solid Eurozone sentiment and lingering concerns about Britain's outlook weighed on Sterling's chances of a full recovery.
While Wednesday's Eurozone services and composite PMI results from Markit failed to meet preliminary figures, they still printed solid improvements over February and rounded off the best quarter for Eurozone private sector activity since the beginning of the financial crisis.
Analysts have warned that even if Britain's services sector didn't slow in March, it's still at risk of slows in the coming months due to the consumer-facing nature of the sector.
As inflation rises in Britain, consumers are likely to rein in spending, analysts argue. The underlying pressure of this concern is unlikely to fade completely any time soon.
[Previously updated 12:55 BST 05/04/2017]
Demand for the 2017 GBP EUR exchange rate improved on Wednesday morning following the publication of a surprisingly strong UK services PMI from Markit.
According to Markit's March report, British services jumped from 53.3 to 55 despite being predicted to only improve to 53.5.
This was especially impressive as poor UK manufacturing data from earlier in the week had increased concerns that Britain's economy was slowing and that services could slow too.
Britain's composite PMI beat expectations due to the strong services report, rising from 53.7 to 54.7 and overcoming the forecast rise to 53.8.
[Previously updated 13:03 BST 04/04/2017]
The 2017 GBP EUR exchange rate continued to slide on Tuesday morning as investors became increasingly jittery about potential slows in Britain's services sector.
Tuesday saw the publication of Britain's March construction PMI. The PMI was predicted to slow from 52.5 to 52.4 but came in even worse than expected at 52.2.
However, due to the generally low-influence of Britain's construction sector the Pound's downward trajectory was largely the same and GBP EUR continued to fall at a modest pace.
GBP EUR spent most of Tuesday morning trending in the region of 1.16 after falling from the weekend and Monday's 1.17 highs.
[Published 06:00 BST 04/04/2017]
The 2017 GBP EUR exchange rate dropped slightly from its weekend highs following the publication of March's UK and Eurozone manufacturing PMIs. The Eurozone's solid unemployment figures also lent the shared currency some support.
GBP EUR began this week trending at the level of 1.17 after making a strong advance from 1.15 last week. However, the Pound to Euro exchange rate could fall from its highs depending on Tuesday and Wednesday data.
Pound (GBP) Falls from Highs as UK Manufacturing Disappoints
After last week's Pound rally, the British currency was stopped in its tracks on Monday morning following the publication of Markit's UK manufacturing PMI for March.
Not only was the February result revised lower from 54.6 to 54.5, but March's manufacturing PMI unexpectedly slipped to 54.2. Investors had expected manufacturing to improve to 55.1.
The disappointing manufacturing figure exacerbated concerns that Britain's economic activity was being hurt due to rising inflation and slowing wage growth.
Analysts have suggested that factory activity slowed due to lower orders as consumers rein in spending.
Duncan Brock, director of customer relationships from the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply, also explained that the fall in the Pound has made raw materials pricier which has led to rising input costs in the factory sector;
'Supplier delivery times have also begun to lag, clogging up the supply chains of British manufacturing. With the rate of new order growth showing early signs of easing in March, manufacturers must act to ensure they are not locked into costly contracts. Now is not the time for manufacturers to rest on their laurels.'
Despite this, GBP EUR losses on Monday were modest. The pair held onto most of last week's gains as markets remained hopeful that early UK-EU Brexit negotiations would be amicable when they begin in a few months.
Euro (EUR) Benefits from Solid Improvements in Manufacturing and Employment
No major surprises for Euro investors on Monday, but the confirmation of some key ecostats showing growth in the Eurozone was nonetheless welcome.
Following the Eurozone's preliminary March PMIs from Markit published a couple weeks ago, the final March prints came in on Monday and largely met expectations.
Germany's print came in at 58.3 and the Eurozone's at 56.2. Notably, Germany's factory stats were the best since May 2010 and the Eurozone's were the best since April 2011. Chris Williamson, Markit's chief economist, stated;
'All key business activity gauges – output, new order inflows, exports, backlogs of work and employment – are close to six-year highs.
However, the survey is also signalling the highest incidence of supplier delivery delays for nearly six years, underscoring how suppliers are struggling to meet surging demand.
These delays send a warning signal about rising inflationary pressures, as busy suppliers are often able to hike prices.'
Hints of inflationary pressures were also good news to Euro traders, who will continue speculating about how close the European Central Bank (ECB) is to tightening Eurozone monetary policy.
The Eurozone's February unemployment rate also impressed, improving from 9.6% to 9.5% as expected – its lowest level since 2009.
2017 GBP EUR Exchange Rate Forecast: Eurozone Retail Sales Ahead
Tuesday's European session will be a little quieter for Pound trade as the only notable dataset will be Britain's March construction PMI from Markit. If it fails to meet expectations Sterling could become more jittery, but movement may be muted until Wednesday's UK services data is published.
The main event for Tuesday will be the publication of the Eurozone's February retail sales stats. Analysts expect retail sales to improve from -0.1% to 0.5% month-on-month and from 1.2% to 1.4% year-on-year.
These results may also indicate how Eurozone consumers are handling rising inflation, particularly energy prices, in recent months.
Another key event for Euro traders on Tuesday will be a speech from European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi.
Any indication from Draghi that deflation risks are rising again due to last week's underwhelming Eurozone inflation stats could send the Euro plummeting and the Pound to Euro exchange rate could be in for another week of gains.
While the Euro will take point on Tuesday, the Pound will return to focus on Wednesday.
As the services sector makes up most of Britain's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the results of Wednesday's UK March services PMI could have a significant impact on the 2017 GBP EUR exchange rate.

Note: You will need the Handy (Lynx) emulator to play these games. You can find it and a guide on the emulation page.
October 2005
Hi Lynx fans. I managed to program another small game for the Lynx after a long break. It is again a simple game, but still I thought it´s quite fun to play, especially on a real Lynx of course. I allso made a small version of the commodore 64 "Comic Bakery/Top Gun" music. Too bad the handy sound-emulation does not work very well. Still I hope you enjoy this little game. Have fun and stay Lynxered :)
(Note: There is a "manual" I made for fun included in the zip file. Again I didn´t want to make the game too hard so you all can see the ending sequence, so if you get through the game without dying, try dying at least once, because there is a very "Lynxish" a-bomb dying sequence ;)
Download the game: Anti A-Bomb Aircraft Artillery.zip
Programmed by Sampo, using Karri´s template as a base.

Thanx to Karri for all his help and for all the splendid Lynx tools he has created.

Your nightly prayers has finaly been answered! A clone (of the first level) of the Commodore 64 classic game Aztec Challenge to the Lynx, called Conquistador. Featuring original cool music, ported to the Lynx.

This is my first shot at programming, and I think it turned out pretty well. I´m pleased to announce my mini-game Conquistador for the Lynx. This is the result of many hours of work, so be gentle with the reviews :)
Hopefully you will enjoy it!
I made it a little easier than the original so that it wouldn't be to hard reaching the pyramid and seeing the ending sequence.

Mars 2005
After conquistador I tried to program a base for a sam & max styled adventure game, but I ran out of space as I didn't know back then how to use more than the Lynx Ram (i.e. did not know how to load from cartridge). There's not much to do in the demo, there´s only two rooms, you can look at the picture on the wall, pick up the guitar and check it out in your inventory, look at it and talk to it and open the door.
The graphics are pretty much placeholders and the main character "Karateboy" is not animated, you can just see the animation frame numbers in his mouth. (You can even look at and talk to the guitar when it´s in the inventory. Wow!) Use option 1 and option 2 as game keys in this one. The talk is made with Matthias Domins text out.

When I realized I had run out of space with karateboy I wanted to try if I could program a base for a sidescrolling game. So I ripped the animation graphics from the megadrives ghost n goblins, (the backgrounds are all made in a minute to have something to test it with, also I didn't split it up in small enough parts so there's considerable slowdown here and there). The music is again done with Karris nice abc-music. You may recognize it as its the same J.S. Bach song as in Tetris on gameboy.

Ireland's second city, located in the beautiful south, is a city of charming contrasts. There are numerous attractions both within the city itself and in the surrounding countryside, so pick up your Avis car hire from Dublin airport and head south – here are five top tips for your visit to Cork.
1. Don't Upset the Locals
Did we say that Cork is Ireland's second city? We did? Sorry. You may want to avoid that phrase when conversing with the city's inhabitants. With a reputation for pride and rebellion, they may remind you – playfully, of course – of that rebellious legacy with their quick jests towards the country's capital. The people of Cork are known for their wit and their warmth, their ability to captivate and to charm, and this is all part of the city's attraction. Modern Cork is a vibrant mix of tradition and contemporary sophistication.
2. Take a Wander
Cork is small enough to be navigable on foot, so if there's a sunny day – or not – put on your walking shoes and go out and explore. Historic attractions include the medieval Red Abbey, St. Mary's Cathedral and the old St. Finbarre's Cathedral, as well as the Church of St. Anne in Shandon, City Hall and Elizabeth Fort. Other places of interest include the University College Cork, the County Hall Tower and the Elysian. The River Lee, of course, is the perfect backdrop for an afternoon stroll.
3. Go Shopping
Grand Parade, St. Patrick's Street and surrounding streets is the city's main shopping locale and also contains some interesting historic buildings. Delve in and out of the side streets and alleyways, exploring quirky fashion boutiques, vintage shops and stores selling handmade crafts, as well as second hand bookstores and music shops. Or dip into the English Market, a tourist attraction in its own right and a longstanding market of fresh fish and meat as well as other foodstuffs, including many items from around the world. Look out for local specialities such as spiced beef and drisheen, a type of black pudding.
4. Stop for a Drink
When the weather turns brisk, pop into one of the city's many fine cafes for a hot or cold beverage. Farmgate Cafe in the English Market is a popular spot for coffee, while the Franciscan Well Brewery has its own microbrewery. You might want to linger indoors as the evening closes in – live folk music can be found in many of the city's pubs. Or if you're after something more upmarket, then head to Cafe Paradiso, a Cork institution and vegetarian restaurant with outstanding reputation. Try the Pavilion for some mellow evening of music without the fiddles.
5. Get Out into the Countryside
Cork is fantastic – but there's more to the region than the city itself. Attractions around the city include The Warren and its award-winning Blue Flag Beach (also a Natural Heritage Area) – it's the perfect spot for a morning stroll with the brisk sea breeze in your hair. Visit the National Monument of Knockdrum Stone Fort, located 1 km from Castletownshend, or Drombeg Stone Circle in Glandore, the midpoint of which lines up at the Winter Solstice. Or take the ferry across to natural wildlife haven Whiddy Island, where you can spend time rambling, bird-watching or simply soaking up the atmosphere at the Bank House, the island's only pub. However you want to spend your time in the countryside, you'll be spoilt for choice.

Residents are being asked to give their feedback on a proposal to relocate a Northumberland village's GP practice.
Plans have been drawn up to move the 'increasingly unfit for purpose' Rothbury surgery, located on Market Place, to Rothbury Community Hospital, on Whitton Bank Road.
GPs would be co-located with community nurses, physiotherapists, dieticians and other hospital staff if the proposal goes ahead. Practice manager Trine Bonsnes said that this would 'further improve integration between primary care (the GPs) and secondary care (the hospital)'.
The move is designed to give patients improved accessibility, including better car parking, particularly for the elderly and disabled and those with young children needing pushchairs, and give them care in an environment that is fit for purpose.
Ms Bonsnes said: "The patient population of the practice has expanded over the last few months and years and we are now really struggling with space. Our current GP premises are becoming increasingly unfit for purpose with limited access to ground-floor clinical rooms being a constant concern.
"Alongside this, the GP practice strives to be able to provide a clinical service from treatment rooms that comply with the best health and safety and infection control regulations. This is proving difficult from a 200-year-old listed building that was initially designed for residential use. In addition, there is no reserved car parking available at our current location. We are proposing to move the practice to Rothbury Community Hospital; built in 2008, this would provide a purpose-built modern environment.
"The community hospital site has the capacity to accommodate the co-location of the GP surgery and also provides future opportunity for expansion if necessary. All of the clinical space and facilities would be on the ground floor so it is accessible for all'.
All of the contact details and staff would remain the same, while there would be no change in patients' repeat prescriptions.
As part of the consultation process, drop-in sessions will be held at the Jubilee Hall, Rothbury, on Friday, December 11, from 11am to 4pm, and Rothbury Community Hospital on Thursday, January 14, from 4pm to 7pm. Residents will be encouraged to give their views on the proposals. Residents can also email email@example.com
Responding to the proposal, Rothbury county council Steven Bridgett said that it would bring many benefits, although he raised a concern about access.
He said: "Having the GP surgery and hospital in the same location would strengthen the position of the Community Hospital - especially in this time of 'austerity' and when smaller hospitals have been closed elsewhere. The hospital is a modern facility that meets all of the criteria for National Standards of Cleanliness in the NHS. The Community Hospital is fully disability compliant and all floors and rooms can be accessed by anyone in a wheelchair or anyone who may not be as mobile.
"There is adequate parking at the hospital and it means residents will not be forced to park at the other end of the village to visit the surgery - as is often the case.
"The only negative in my view is the access; whilst the current surgery is in a central location, the hospital is slightly out of the way. However, the same argument can be made at the moment that the current surgery is difficult to access for those residents who do not live in the centre of Rothbury.
"I am currently working with the Practice Manager and the Transport Team at County Hall to see if there is a way we can mitigate this with the help of local transport providers. I look forward to hearing residents' thoughts."
