Breathe in the picturesque setting of Yorkshire's countryside, taking in some of the county's finest watering holes as you go…
Yorkshire is not just blessed with amazing cities, it's also got some of the best countryside you'll find anywhere in the UK. It's a wonderful backdrop for your adventures, from the North York Moors to the Dales – and there's nothing more rewarding after a long day of wandering than stopping at a local pub for a cheeky drink or a bite to eat. So we've mapped out a few walks through Yorkshire, with pubs en route or at the end.
Malhamdale is one of Yorkshire's finest attractions with a slew of natural wonders worth seeking out. This route starts at the public car park in Malham village (or at The Lister Arms, if you want a pre-walk drink). Ascend the 400 or so steps from the village up to Malham Cove, before wandering across Gordale Bridge and the unique limestone pavement.
Then head over to the beautiful waterfalls of Gordale Scar – the perfect place to stop and break up this 4.5 mile route around the countryside. After that, you can head over to the thick woods of Janet's Foss, before making a beeline for two of Malham's finest pubs.
The Buck Inn has been around since 1874 and will provide hearty grub and real ales, as well as a place to get your head down. While just over the village green is The Lister Arms, a leaf-covered pub that is chock full of rustic charm and traditional Yorkshire hospitality – they too have rooms, if you're planning to stay the night.
Start at Malham Cove, at BD23 4DA, or OS grid reference SD 8966390.
Reeth Circular
Reeth and Healaugh are picturesque villages in the heart of Swaledale and you'll get to see the best of both on this circular walk, with lots of beautiful North Yorkshire countryside in between. Start at the village green in Reeth and take a track known as the Quaker Flags. It'll lead you to the historic Quaker Foundation building, which dates back to 1780.
Continue past, and take in the incredible views across the green fields as you head down into the valley bottom meadows. You'll have to tackle a series of stiles and gates on your way to the tiny village of Healaugh, but it's got a unique treat in store for you – pop your head inside the telephone box on the village green for a little surprise. Inside, you'll find a vase of flowers, a waste paper basket and a carpeted floor.
You're now halfway along your leisurely 3-mile walk, and you'll come back a different way to the way you came. Follow the path that runs alongside the River Swale, all the way to Reeth Swing Bridge. Don't cross here, take the path that bears left back into the village for a well-deserved pint. You've got three options, The King's Arms, The Black Bull or The Buck – they're all worth a visit, with local ales and hearty pub grub.
Start at Reeth Village Green, Richmond, North Yorkshire, DL11 6TE, or OS grid reference SD 03825 99254.
Linton to Kilnsey and back
If you're up for a challenge, the Linton Circular is one of the best pub walks in Yorkshire. It's a 10-mile trek that will take you on a round trip to Kilnsey and back. You start in the heart of Linton village, or at The Fountaine Inn if you want to start your day with a pint. Head east to Linton Falls, along the Dales Way and through a series of fields and stiles and through the open moor to Bastow Wood.
From here, you'll walk up the hill to the exposed limestone crags at Dib Scar, before passing through Conistone and into the village of Kilnsey. It's the perfect place to take five – The Tennant's Arms is a brilliant traditional watering hole for lunch and a pint. Before you leave, make sure you visit the limestone overhang at Kilnsey Crag – you might see some climbers scaling it.
Now you'll make your way back to the start, but this time along Mastiles Lane, an old Roman road. You'll head into the open moorland where you can take in stunning views across Wharfedale and another limestone landmark, Cave Scar. From there, it's a gentle descent back into Linton, where you can reacquaint yourself with The Fountaine Inn and bask in a well-earned drink and bite to eat.
Start at The Fountaine Inn, Linton, Linton in Craven, North Yorkshire BD23 5HJ.
Thuscross is just two miles from Pateley Bridge, just outside of Harrogate, and it's home to a moderate pub walk that will make for a great day out. Starting outside The Stone House Inn, this route will see you circle the Thuscross Reservoir – set amidst the North Yorkshire countryside you won't be too surprised at what you'll find.
From the pub you'll meander past a disused quarry, and then head down a path that leads right to the sidings of the reservoir, which you'll continue on throughout the route – there are footbridges, one or two inclines and a couple of boggy areas, if you're concerned about how tough the walk is.
You'll get to see the remains of a flooded village, that disappeared under the water when the reservoir needed was built, including one or two of the buildings if the tide is low. There's also a stunning vista across the valley and water from built up moorland, as you come to the final part of your route, which leads you back to The Stone House Inn, a proper cosy, country pub with a tearoom and roaring fire – there is no accommodation here, however, so make sure you've got a way home.
Start at The Stone House Inn, Thurcross, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, HG3 4AH, or OS grid reference SE 16062 58651.
The Settle Railway Walk
This cracking pub walk will see you rewarded with not one, not two, but three different pubs along the way. But it's less about the final destination here and more about the journey itself.
Starting in the town of Settle at the Greenfoot car park, you can actually reward yourself with a pint right away, as the first part of the journey takes you past the stunning Royal Oak Hotel. Afterwards, you'll head down Church Street, and onto a track for 2.5km and then up past the picturesque setting of Stainforth House for 2km, where you can enjoy some stunning views.
Across the main road is the Helwith Bridge Hotel, an old school Yorkshire pub with plenty of food and ale, as well as rooms to stay in, if you want to enjoy the selection behind the bar. From there, it's through the car park and alongside a track parallel to the railway line. You'll follow the river for 4km to Horton in Ribblesdale. Here you'll find The Crown Hotel, perfect for a well-deserved end of walk drink, or a night's stay over. If you're not staying, you can hop on the old Settle-Carlisle Railway to get back to your car.
Start at the Greenfoot car park, Settle, North Yorkshire, BD24 9RB, or OS grid reference GR 98/817635.
Grassington Circular
This is one of the best pub walks you can do in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It kicks off at the Grassington National Park Centre, then heads north through the town to High Lane. This ancient walled lane was once a packhorse route that linked Grassington and Hebden.
Today, it's a great walking route with fine views across the Wharfedale valley towards Simon's Seat, Barden and Burnsall Fell. At the end of the lane, you'll go through open fields – be warned, they can get muddy and you'll have to tackle narrow stiles and steep steps to get to the site of the old Grassington Isolation Hospital, a former tuberculosis sanitarium from the early 1900s. Here, you'll find the Grassington Park Estate meadows, one of the best examples of herb-rich hay meadows in the Dales.
It's a short walk into the quaint industrial village of Hebden, where you can visit landmarks like the steel cable suspension bridge, Hebden Fell and The Clarendon Hotel for a mid-walk bevvy. To complete this 4-mile walk, join Tinkers Lane onto Edge Lane, with its rewarding views of Grass Wood Nature Reserve, Lea Green iron age field systems and Upper Wharfedale, before arriving back into Grassington for a pint at one of two proper Yorkshire country pubs, The Old Hall Inn or The Foresters Arms.
Start at Grassington National Park Centre, Hebden Road, Grassington, Skipton, North Yorkshire, BD23 5LB, or OS grid reference SE 00283 63750.
How about a walk that takes you off the beaten path, and to a fantastic pub? On this Yorkshire pub walk, you start at the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority car park, before setting off and following signs for Kirkby Malham.
Take the paths, stiles and farm tracks onto Thorpe Lane, and then Cow Close Lane, a unique little route with a stream alongside. You'll then come to Kirkby Malham, where you'll find the Victoria Inn, a pub that's been featured in the Good Pub Guide, noted for its stunning Victorian decor and array of local ales and hearty food.
The 5.6-mile route continues from here, following the sign for Otterburn, across the stile route, and alongside Deepdale Plantation where you'll notice signs for Airton. You'll keep following the stiles until you reach a main road, and just up the hill lies the Town End Farm Shop if you need a refreshment or two. From here, you'll take a short walk to join the Pennine Way which will lead you into Hanlith, and when you're done exploring, the main road will lead you back to the start.
Start at the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, Malham Rakes, Skipton, North Yorkshire, BD23 4DA, or OS grid reference SD 90075 62808.
Buckden Circular
This one is for the hardiest of walkers – but don't worry, you've got two pubs to look forward to as you take on the scenic 10.5-mile route. Make sure you come prepared with a map, because this one goes through tough terrain and open moorland with no obvious path. You'll start your walk at the Buckden National Park car park and follow The Dales Way along the River Wharfe until you get to Hubberholme.
Take a break here – it's the last proper village until you get back to the start and The George Inn will definitely look after you with a pint and a plate of hearty pub grub. From there, cross the river bridge and get back onto The Dales Way up to Yockenthwaite, before heading South West, trekking along bridleways, farms and fields to the trig point at Horse Head.
Here's where you'll be rewarded for all the effort – the views from the top are incredible. On a clear day you can see everything from Fountains Fell, Plover Hill and Pen-y-ghent to Shunner Fell, Buckden Pike and even the Lakeland Fells. You'll now head back towards Buckden, but be wary of the tricky terrain as you take in the bird's eye vistas across Wharfedale. Once you're back at the start, treat yourself to a drink and something to eat at The Buck Inn or The Lion.
Start at Buckden National Park car park, Buckden Yorkshire Dales National Park Centre, Buckden Wood Lane, Buckden, North Yorkshire, BD23 5JA or OS grid reference SD 94231 77197.
Arden Great Moor
If you want a walk with incredible views and a welcoming, dog-friendly pub at the start and the end, take on this circular route around Arden Great Moor. You'll start outside The Inn in Hawnby, which you'll definitely want to come back to later. It's a longish route at 8.6 miles, but there's only a small ascent, which comes right at the start as you head north from the village and up to the open moorland.
As you reach the top, you'll get to gaze out over Hawnby Hill and Easterside Hill, before you take on an extended circuit of Arden Moor and go on to the Cleveland Way. Again, you'll want to bring your camera, because it promises stunning vistas across the Vale of Mowbray, the Wensleydale hills and villages like Nether Silton and Kepwick, as well as the heather blossom covered moor itself.
Now it's time to head back. You'll walk along Harker Yates Ridge before descending into Thorodale Wood until you reach a clearing where Arden Hall will show itself. It's then a short walk back into the centre of Hawnsby, where you can crown your excursion with a few of the Yorkshire ales on tap and a dinner made with local Yorkshire produce at The Inn.
Start at The Inn at Hawnby, North Yorkshire, YO62 5QS or OS grid reference SE 54302 89823.
Kirkby Malzeard
The historic old market town of Kirkby Malzeard finds itself set in amongst the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Beauty, and this walk sees you discover just why it's known as that. You begin your trek at a pub that's no longer with us, The Henry Jenkins, named after a local legend who was said to have lived to the age of 169. Though it's now shut, it's a piece of local history that sets the scene for a picturesque walk.
Start by walking through the town from the old pub and over Creets Bridge, taking the path opposite Mowbray Castle. The tracks take you through fields and woodland towards Braithwaite Hall on the adjacent path. Go through Hubber Wood, Mill Farm and around the village of Azerley, before walking along a series of paths and stiles that lead you back into Kirkby Malzeard.
Along the relatively easy 4-mile route, you'll see glimpses of Nidderdale's beauty from the stunning open fields to the majestic old buildings and serene woodland. It's all thirsty work though, so make a beeline back to Main Street and head over to the pub in Kirkby Malzeard that is still open – The Queen's Head is just across the way.
Start at The Henry Jenkins, Main Street, Kirkby Malzeard, Ripon, North Yorkshire, HG4 3RY, or OS grid reference SE 23349 74329.Feature image copyright Ebor Images licensed under Creative Commons for commercial use.

It's three in the morning, halfway through the night. Not a sound is made as everyone sleeps except Susana Castro, 54, who is already starting her daily routine. The stars illuminate her path to the kitchen while dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens keep her company. She is the first of three women in the house to set up for the cooking of the day.
She begins by finding the right firewood for the fire—the right size and thickness is important. A gas stove is rare in these rural parts of Guatemala, but cooking over a natural, low-burning fire brings out the flavors of the fried chicken, tomatoes and tortillas.
The chicken couldn't be fresher. Susana slaughters them, plucks their feathers and cuts them into pieces—all in the comfort of her dirt-floor kitchen, which is a part of her front patio. She regularly fries two of them.
Before the sun rises, Susana's daughter, Dora Lacar, joins her. She is in charge of making the salsa along with helping Susana fry the chicken and black beans. Dora learned to cook from her mother when she was a little girl, just like Susana learned from her mother as well.
At 38, Dora is an expert chef and loves it. Her favorite dish to cook is salsa. She grabs the tomatoes out of the fire and smoke and peels them as if they were pieces of cotton—softly and fast.
Salsa is done by hand, from beginning to end. After peeling the steamy roasted tomatoes, Dora places them on an improvised mortar and pestle—a plastic strainer on top of a metal container—and uses a wood masher to crush them. This is her favorite part of making salsa because she can add "the final touches," she said.

2 out of 5 stars
Cut to the Chase:
While I get that novellas are going to be short by nature, it wasn't just the plot and pacing that felt rushed in this novella (yes, because it's shorter, it has to progress more rapidly). The writing seemed to trip along itself, and other than the fact that these two characters are very, very attracted to one another, you never quite get anything to hold onto in order to believe that they will be together, or make it, in the long haul. Though the sex is sensual, I would have almost preferred a little less sex (gasp!) and a little more interaction to let me believe that these two characters are meant to be together. Otherwise, I'm left with interesting, funny characters who get together, but in a way that makes it more believable they'll have a passionate affair that burns out than a longer lasting happily-ever-after.
Greater Detail:
The main strength of this novel are its two very likeable main characters — you've got Kate Carlisle, who's kind of a cute, perhaps a little klutzy (she dumps a container full of iced cupcakes on our main hero by way of introduction), do-it-yourself entrepreneur who's trying to make a success of her bakery. You've also got Adam Belfour, a self-made marketing/imaging businessman who is sexy, powerful, and used to getting his own way.
That these two characters are immediately attracted to one another is clear — both use food as their medium to kind of toy with each other, which makes for some entertaining scenes. And the sex (as well as each of the characters thinking about the sex they'd like to have) is sensually written.
The problem is that they just don't interact enough, or converse enough, to make you believe that there's anything other than lots and lots of lust binding the two together. Though there are some interesting thoughts here and there (at one point, while Kate is catering to the bigwigs via Adam's sister's baby shower, she starts to wonder about whether she'd ever be okay having this much staff, or if part of the fun is the do-it-yourself-ness of her current business), there just isn't' enough space to expand upon these possibilities. Also, as I said before, the writing feels rushed (some of the details get confused in terms of timeline, which is small, but makes it feel like the author really rushed to complete this one).
Though it was a quick and light read, and I don't regret spending time on it, it's really not something I can recommend.
Comparison to Other Authors/Books:
I'll admit it's been a long time since I've read a romance novella… and I've never really been a fan. Most of the novellas I've read are author collaborations where there's a common theme (so a collection of three novellas, like Julia Quinn's The Further Observations of Lady Whistedown, or holiday-themed novels that tell you the story of some side character). Usually, I find them kind of unsatisfying… none of the character development I like, and just a rush, rush, rush to the finish line. That said, Patti Shenberger has written better, and you should check out some of her other books (like Secrets of the Heart) before picking up this one.

Tips For Betting On Celtics Hawks – Hawks Look To Take Advantage Of Celtics At Home
When the Atlanta Hawks traded Joe Johnson to the Brooklyn Nets in the offseason, many sports betting experts felt it was a sign that the team felt it still needed a couple of years to legitimately contend for a title, and that they would take a step back this season. That hasn't been the case at all in Atlanta this season, as the Hawks enter this weekend with the third-best record in the Eastern Conference behind only the New York Knicks and the defending NBA Champion Miami Heat. The Hawks are 0-2 against the Heat this season but have done well against the rest of the conference, and will look to continue their strong play in their first meeting of the season against the Boston Celtics this Saturday.
Boston Celtics @ Atlanta Hawks
Saturday January 5, 2013 – 7:00 PM ET
Phillips Arena, Atlanta, Georgia
NBA Sportsbook Line: Atlanta Hawks – 2.5
The Celtics have spent the entire season fighting inconsistency, and are a game below .500 against teams from the East. Boston has struggled on the road in particular with just five wins through 16 games as the visiting team, and now face a tough matchup against an Atlanta team that has won 12 of 15 at home.
NBA Betting Preview: Boston Celtics
Age has definitely played a role in the Celtics' struggles this season with again veterans like Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett still playing key roles, but the thought process in Boston is that if they can get to the postseason they can still do damage. Rajon Rondo has infused the starting lineup with some much needed youth, and is the biggest reason why the team ranks fourth in the NBA in average assists, but they still need more from the big guys. Pierce and Garnett rank one-two on the Celtics in scoring, and the Celtics could definitely use more from them as well as from Jason Terry coming off the bench.
NBA Betting Preview: Atlanta Hawks
The Hawks have gotten from Jeff Teague what Boston has received from Rondo in terms of assists, as he has averaged a team-high 6.7 per game for a group that ranks third in the association in average assists. Teague has blossomed with more minutes, and it helps that he has a ton of options including Josh Smith, who has averaged a team-high 26.6 points per game. Al Horford has been a force in the middle once again with 15.9 points and 9.6 rebounds per game, and as long as he is working hard down low it will continue to open shooting lanes for the outside scorers.
NBA Betting Preview: Outlook & Pick
Atlanta should have the upper hand in this matchup with a similar style, but a much younger cast to execute with. The Hawks and Celtics do a lot of the same things, but it is Atlanta with both the youth and home court advantage heading in to this first matchup of the season, and they should be able to cover the online betting number.
NBA Betting Pick: Atlanta Hawks

It's 6am and I'm awake. Do I want to be awake on a Saturday morning at 6am? Nope. So what better way to pass the time then randomly ramble through blogging…..
I often wake up in the morning feeling magnificent. I feel energetic, awake, and fully rested. Except it's early, and I don't have to be awake. So I then close my eyes and drift back to the land of sleeping only to wake up and hour (or 2 or 3 ) later only to feel drained, slow, and groggy. Each time I tell myself "stop going back to sleep". But I love to sleep! So here I am, not going back to sleep. I know I'll feel worse if I do.
My real Dad joined FB. What a shocking friend request that was! Nevertheless, I was happy about it. Not only does this mean we will stay more connected, I don't have to call in order for us to talk (we all now I get a big fat F- for my abilities to call people, or even answer my phone). I'm glad to see him on it and I'd like to think it will make our reconnecting stronger.
Slurpee's are yummy. They are even better mixed with an airplane shooter of your drink of choice.
I don't think a day will come where I don't tear up about Ted. Yesterday was hard. Watching the sadness, the tears, all of it. I honestly don't know how my Aunt is getting through this, but I have never in my life looked up to her and admired her heart and courage more than I do now. I don't think I could ever or will ever be that brave. She is extraordinary.
Maybe you know this about me, maybe not. I started therapy when I was 13 and I've been in and out since. I've been seeing an amazing counselor and I've quickly realized an area of growth… my lack of coping skills. I can have enough humility to admit, I need help here. Please. I'm 30. It's time to learn how to deal with life's disappointments and shrug off the little things. Not only are there going to be more disappointments in life, but I want to strengthen my ability to still enjoy life even when it's hard. And man, it sure can be hard.
This past week was emotionally, mentally, and physically draining. Torture. A "living hell" is how I often referred to it. So many people checked in with me, kept tabs on me, etc. Not only did I previously take for granted the amazing support group I have, I didn't really know it existed. Knowing that not only was it going to get easier, but I had quite a few people there for me during the process made it easier. It made the week and the torture pass with additional ease and love but I didn't feel so alone nor as scared as I normally would have. I'm eternally grateful for my remarkable and loving friends for their help, and my mom of course!
I think that's enough rambling for today. Happy Saturday!

So when the Phillies brass, and new manager Gabe Kapler began to retool the roster in order to help to push the process along, they did the only logical thing and signed 31-year-old power hitter Carlos Santana.
Carlos Santana reached an agreement with Philadelphia on a reported three-year deal worth $60 million Friday, becoming the second Cleveland free agent first baseman to join the phillies in the last 15 years. Last season he hit.259 with 23 homers and 79 RBI and an.818 OPS, and over his career, he has averaged 25 home runs and 85 RBI over 162 games.
Santana, who has a.249 career batting average and.445 slugging percentage, is expected to play first base for Philadelphia.
The obvious assumption following the trade would be that Hoskins would be moved to left field, a position he flirted with at times during the 2017 season, in a move that would give the Kapler's crew another power bat in the starting lineup, but unfortunately for the team, this move would also negatively impacts their defensive athleticism.
Galvis was a finalist for a Gold Glove the past two seasons and hit a career-best 20 homers in 2016.
Dennis Rodman: I Know What North Korea Wants
The world is watching closely as North Korea ramps up its nuclear power and weapons programs in a very public manner. Rodman spoke to the newspaper while in China.
The sound the Washington Nationals have been hearing this month from just up I-95 North is the Philadelphia Phillies, long considered a sleeping giant in baseball for their strong financial health and accelerating rebuilding effort, slowly roaring to life. The 28-year-old switch hitter averaged 13 homers, 59 RBIs and 14 steals along with a.253 average over the past three years.
J.P. Crawford, a first-round pick in the 2013 amateur draft, will take over at shortstop. Neshek was an All-Star for the Phillies this year before he was traded to Colorado.
The Philadelphia Phillies were pretty hard to watch last season, but one of the few bright spots on an otherwise forgettable season was the emergence of rookie phenom Rhys Hoskins. He earned his first All-Star selection after being chosen as a starter for the National League via fan balloting. He hit.297 with 24 homers and 63 RBIs.
Cozart, 32, played seven major league seasons with the Cincinnati Reds.
Gold Glove victor Andrelton Simmons is at shortstop for the Angels.
Angels add Zack Cozart to upgraded infield on a three-year contract
Andrelton Simmons and Martin Maldonado , both 2017 Gold Glove winners, return to lead the middle of the defense. It would be nice to sign a player such as Cozart who the Reds can rely on as they continue to rebuild.
-The Houston Astros agreed to terms on a two-year contract with free-agent right-handed reliever Hector Rondon, the team announced. Rondon spent the last five years with the Chicago Cubs, going 18-13 with a 3.22 ERA and 77 saves.
Rodney, 40, spent the 2017 season as the Arizona Diamondbacks' closer, converting 39 saves and posting a record of 5-4 with a 4.23 ERA over 55 1/3 innings (26 walks, 65 strikeouts) in 53 appearances. His 475 appearances since his 2011 debut are the third-most among relief pitchers in that span.
-Outfielder Melvin Upton Jr. and the Cleveland Indians agreed on a one-year, minor league deal, according to multiple reports. He's 5 for 18 (.278) with two homers in nine postseason games.
TRADE: San Francisco agreed to trade left-hander Matt Moore to the Texas Rangers for prospects, a person with direct knowledge of the negotiations said.
He would join a rotation featuring 13-game victor Martin Perez and Cole Hamels, who won 11 games this year.

Annual holiday travel insurance plans are worth buying as they will provide frequent travelers with many benefits; more, in fact than when compared to other types of travel insurance plans. The main benefits that will accrue to you when you choose annual holiday travel insurance plan is that you will avoid having to pay for holiday travel insurance separately each time you travel which in turn will mean that you save money and also get adequate coverage.
No Need To Buy Individual Trip Insurance
The expense involved in paying for individual holiday travel insurance plans each time you go on a trip is so much that you will do well to opt instead to take annual holiday travel insurance plans which will save you from rushing about looking for a holiday travel insurance plan each time you take even a short trip.
In fact, it is not wrong to think of annual holiday travel insurance plans to be a single and magical solution to all your holiday travel related insurance needs. When it comes to buying your annual holiday travel insurance you should first of all check with companies such as Medjet and Travel Guard that are well known companies that have been providing best holiday travel insurance plans and at most affordable rates and for quite a long time as well.
You need to also focus on type of coverage provided by individual annual holiday travel insurance plans. The one offered by Travel Guard is truly comprehensive and well worth checking out. However, if you are only looking to get medical treatment coverage you would be better off choosing the one offered by Medjet.
In any case, before buying your annual holiday travel insurance makes sure to carefully go over the policy and be sure to also check with handful of agents as well as insurance companies so that you are fully aware of what is being offered in the market. The most important part about choosing annual holiday travel insurance is that you must be sure that the policies you opt for covers you for all of your holiday travel requirements and will also meet with all your expectations.
Be prepared to pay about hundred dollars and more for your annual holiday travel insurance plan. This is quite affordable and for the benefits you will get is certainly good value for money. In case your holiday travel occurs more than once or twice in a year and it also involves taking your family along you would do well to then check for and buy annual family travel insurance as this is the cheapest and most effective option to insure your family while they are taking holidays during any given year.
Finally, before purchasing annual holiday travel insurance you need to know that this such policies are really a one-time offer and you must pay the money regardless of whether you travel or not. So, put your money down only in case you are convinced of the fact that you will be traveling more than once in a year. Otherwise, you would be better off buying individual insurance cover. The information about travel insurance was cited from a pro in website design and web development who also has much to offer in terms of Quadracentifiable optimisation.

Ocean Front Property In Arizona? Who You Gonna Believe?
If you are worried about the sea level rising as glaciers and the polar ice cap melt, read this interview.
Dr. Nils-Axel Mörner is the head of the Paleogeophysics and Geodynamics department at Stockholm University in Sweden. He is past president (1999-2003) of the INQUA Commission on Sea Level Changes and Coastal Evolution, and leader of the Maldives Sea Level Project. Dr. Mörner has been studying the sea level and its effects on coastal areas for some 35 years.
You can believe Dr. Nils-Axel Mörner or you can believe Al Gore. Personally, I'm not planning on investing in any ocean front property in Arizona.

Shunafrica White wants to work with crash test dummies, testing automobiles. It's the sort of job that works well with the Conyers, Georgia native's motto: "Always prepare for the worst."
But Shunafrica isn't just about crash test dummies. Her focus is broader than that. With an interest in biomechanics, Shunafrica wants to use her recent experience building a robotic arm to make better dummies.
The spring 2016 ECSU graduate is currently working on her Masters in Bioengineering at North Carolina A&T. But it was the work and the opportunties she found at ECSU that would prepare her to pursue her dreams.
Shunafrica spent the summer of 2015 on an internship at the University of Virginia. It was there that she was introduced to robotics. Her mentor, she explained, suggested she look into the field by building an arm.

once upon a time when the world was just a pancake
i blink at the screen, and suddenly feel ill.
today was register for classes day. luckily, i was smart and got all of the information i needed well in advance, made up my schedule and had to only fill in course code numbers. after a bit of grief- the system tried to tell me that i hadn't taken the pre-requisite fro intermediate latin..HA!- i hit the assess tuition payment button, and then the student account summary button.
i like carleton's website because i'm math challeneged. it does all the adding for me. all those random fees i'm forced to pay are collected and displayed and priced for me to see. the cost of my year?
ten thousand and forty seven dollars.
this isn't what made me blink though. after assigning osap to my fist semester, i owe my school a whopping seventy nine dollars. seventy fucking nine dollars. and next semester, i'll owe them roughly twelve hundred dollars. so folks- that means that my out of pocket must be paid school fees for this coming year are a whopping twelve hundred and seventy nine dollars. twelve hundred and seventy nine. that's it. that's like, the amount of money i'll make in the next four weeks at work.
pardon me while my head explodes at the sheer joyful ridiculousness of this.

To make sure you do not run out of storage, and if you don't want to have to scan and delete any pictures or video footage until later on, having a spare memory card is always useful so you can just pop it into your camera and carry on capturing images. Memory card readers offer a quick way to upload your photos to your laptop or PC without any extra cables and it'll save you a lot of time.
If you want some more gadgets for your camera, DSLR camera bags are a must have for budding photographers to keep your gear in one place. It's also worth investing in a few tripods so you can get the consistently framed, steady shot you're after. If you feel like you want to back up what is on your memory cards, then a hard drive would be an excellent solution so you don't have to delete anything you've snapped. And, to display your photos, why not get a digital photo frame for something a bit different.

Sustainable Commercial Flooring: The Big Picture
Recently, I read an article from Lisa P. Jackson, Apple's vice president of environment, policy and social initiatives, on the company's sustainability portfolio. Apple has partnered with the Conservation Fund and purchased over 36,000 acres of forests in the Eastern U.S.—more than 32,000 of which is in Maine. It makes you think why is Apple, a technology company already doing great sales worldwide, buying and protecting forests?
There are a couple of reasons why Apple is aggressively pursuing this initiative:
- a lower paper footprint in packaging, and using recycled and responsibly sourced paper
- the threat to the forests and habitats is urgent, and one of the most ignored issues in need of being addressed immediately
- to conserve the working forests as a large consumer of paper themselves, not just in the U.S., but in China (300,000 acres) and other parts of the world to create a larger impact
- to expand the Forest Stewardship Council program for more and more forests, so there is an assurance that our paper and wood is coming from a responsibly managed forest
If a company like Apple, who is not in the forestry business by any means, takes up a responsibility like this, it is an inspiration to all of us. We get caught up in the day-to-day issues so much, that we sometimes forget the bigger purpose in life.
What are we doing to impact our environment and community on a much larger scale? What is our BIG story? At Mohawk, we continue to lead the flooring industry, but there are always going to be new and exciting opportunities where we can keep growing and improving.

The President and his New Deal, in its first electoral test yesterday, won the most overwhelming victory in the history of American politics. A record-breaking number of voters for an off-year election gave the President a clear mandate to proceed with his policies in his own way, and, in giving that mandate, they literally destroyed the right wing of the Republican party.
