Laytown Racecourse Guide
You'll struggle to find many other racecourses that offer a more unique racing experience than Laytown. It's the only place in Ireland where you can see horses run on a tidal beach under the Rules of Racing.
What makes racing at Laytown extra special is that it takes place just once a year, usually in early or mid-September. The occasion attracts people from far and wide to the east coast of Ireland with crowds of between 5,000 and 10,000 the norm.
Jump to: Course | Races | Useful Info | History
The Course
When Laytown's old course was shortened following an accident in 1994, it became a straight track that can only accommodate races up to seven furlongs long. The fields are never large due to safety concerns but the short distance of the races means they are usually closely fought and exciting to watch.
Until recently, races used to get underway using a flag start but stalls have since been introduced. The sand surface usually rides quite firm so horses who tend to run better on fast ground should be favoured.
Major Races
None of the six races that take place at Laytown can be described as major affairs, it is the day itself that is the big occasion rather than any particular contest.
The date of racing at Laytown is usually announced well in advance, allowing you plenty of time to arrange your trip there.
Useful Info
Dress Code
The only permanent building at Laytown is a block of toilets and racegoers will watch the action from an elevated field above the strand. This means that dressing for the weather is your only concern as there will be little or no shelter from the elements.
Ticket Prices
All tickets can be purchased both online and on the day. An adult ticket costs €10, senior citizens and students with valid ID pay €6 each and there is no charge for accompanied children under 16.
As there is only one meeting per year, no membership is offered at Laytown.
Getting There
The small seaside resort of Laytown isn't built to cope with lots of traffic so it's advisable to leave in plenty of time if driving to the racecourse. If travelling by public transport, there are train services from both Dublin and Drogheda that stop at Laytown.
From the railway station, it's around a 1km walk to the racecourse or you can hop on the free shuttle bus which will run throughout the day of the meeting. Alternatively, there will be a Mathews Coaches bus service from Dublin or a Bus Eireann service from Drogheda you can use instead of the train.
You won't be able to park right by the "racecourse" but there should be spaces around Laytown that aren't far away, especially if you arrive early on.
There's been quite a long history of racing at Laytown which dates back to 1868 when races used to feature in conjunction with the Boyne Regatta. When it was high tide the rowing races would take place and when the tide receded, it was time for the horses, which in the early days were more of the supporting act. One of the racecourse's first stewards was the famous Irish nationalist politician, Charles Stuart Parnell, although this was a role he only took up once.
Bishop of Meath
In 1901, despite disapproval from the Bishop of Meath, the local parish priest got himself involved in the organising of the strand and races. At this time there were beach races all across Ireland including at Baltray and Termonfeckin which are both quite close by. These did not last too long though, with the latter shutting down in 1900.
Throughout the 1950s and 60s, Laytown was chosen by some trainers as the ideal spot to prepare runners for the Galway Festival. In the absence of all-weather tracks, sand was considered a very useful surface to train on. In the decades that followed, racing at Laytown became a place almost resembling a carnival with lots of colours, sounds, games and street sellers alongside the many bookies in attendance.
Changes to the Course
Things remained this way until 1994 when a terrible accident sparked some significant changes at the racecourse. The track was shortened, removing the u-bend at Bettystown, the size of the fields were reduced and both vehicles and betting facilities were forced to relocate further away from the track, prohibited from the beach itself. The changes have made the racing safer for all involved but attendances suffered as a result, not since reaching the same highs of the early 1990s.
Temporary Structures
Planning the racing at Laytown is a very big task even after decades of practice. Senior members of the committee check the beach weeks in advance to determine what is likely to be the most suitable bank for racing. Approaching the day and the beach is quickly transformed with a temporary parade ring, bookies pitches, judge's box, temporary grandstand and marquees for bars and restaurants.
All the temporary structures comes down as swiftly as they come up so for the vast majority of the year, there is no visible evidence of the racecourse at all. A day at Laytown really is like no other modern racing experience in the UK or Ireland. Why not check out the sandy action for yourself?

By Sahar Adatia and Jimmy Singh
For most people, the worst-case scenario of not paying their rent is getting kicked out of their place.
But not for Melbourne man, Ramis Jonuzi, 36, who was choked and beaten so severely by the man he was sharing an Airbnb house with that it caused his death, all over a dispute of $210 in unpaid rent.
On September 26, 2018, former chef, Craig Jonathan Levy, who pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Mr Jonuzi by "compression of the neck and blunt-force trauma to the head", was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in jail over the fatal assault. The incident occurred on October 25 last year at Brighton East.
The Supreme Court heard that Mr Jonuzi, 36, was living in an Airbnb house on Alexander Street in the south-east Melbourne suburb. He owed payment for renting out a room in the house where Mr Levy, along with two other men, resided.
On the day of the attack, Mr Jonuzi had been asked to leave the room he rented from Mr Levy because he lagged behind with payments. He had his possessions packed and was ready to leave before an altercation suddenly began, prompted by Mr Levy.
The 37-year-old former chef restrained Mr Jonuzi inside the house, while one of the other men allegedly attacked him, choking him and heaving him against the wall.
Mr Levy then carried Mr Jonuzi outside, where he continued with the violent assault.
The court heard that throughout the attack, the men used Mr Jonuzi's mobile phone to access his bank account.
According to prosecutor Raymond Gibson, at this point, the deceased was "crying and apologising".
However, this did not stop Mr Levy from dropping his elbow on the deceased's chest.
Mr Jonuzi was discovered in the front yard, face down in a chocolate cake with choke-hold-like injuries.
Levy's Guilty Plea to Manslaughter Downgraded from Murder
Mr Levy's plea of guilty to manslaughter arrived after the charge was downgraded from murder.
According to a pathologist, who previously addressed a committal hearing in the Melbourne Magistrates Court, Mr Jonuzi had suffered a wide range of injuries, including a broken nose, bruises and abrasions to his face, and wounds revealing prolonged pressure to his neck.
The pathologist concluded that the cause of death was determined as compression of the neck through a "choke hold", where pressure is placed around a person's throat with their arm, which is then aggravated by blood in the lungs.
Mr Levy Discovered to have Cannabis Dependency
Inside the court, it was also heard that the trained chef, in fact, had a considerable cannabis dependency, spending around $250 every week on the drug.
It was also revealed to the court that it was Mr Levy himself who called the police following committing the fatal crime.
According to defence lawyer Megan Tittensor, the attack was "senseless offending".
"It's something Mr Levy will forever carry with him," the defence lawyer said.
"He knows his conscious will never be clear."
A "Destroyed" Jonuzi Family
Mr Jonuzi's sisters expressed that the killing of their brother has "destroyed" their family and that they will never forgive Mr Levy, despite saying he is sorry for ending the life of the Airbnb visitor.
"You chose not to do anything … you could have changed the outcome, but you didn't," Mr Jonuzi's sister, Naime Balla, said of the crime.
"You have destroyed our family in every possible way."
Meanwhile, another sister of Mr Jonuzi, Afradita Hamika, told Justice Andrew Tinney that the impact of the crime has left her not the wife and mother she once was. Moreover, being unable to hear her brother's voice again was "unbearable".
"I'll never hear about his weekend, I'll never hear his laugh," she said.
Mr Jonuzi's partner, Andrew Ross, also spoke to the court of his distress.
"He never deserved to die like this," Mr Ross said.
Of the unrelenting and protracted attack on a man helpless who had done nothing to provoke it, Justice Tinney said Mr Jonuzi had been "cruelly and senselessly taken away from his family and loved ones."
The Law and Penalty for Manslaughter in NSW
The offence of manslaughter in NSW carries a term of up to 25 years imprisonment under section 24 of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW).
There are different kinds of manslaughter offences in NSW. In fact, there are two broad kinds of manslaughter offences in NSW:
- Voluntary Manslaughter; and
- Involuntary Manslaughter
Voluntary Manslaughter Offences
Voluntary manslaughter is if your conduct causes the victim's death in circumstances of provocation, excessive self-defence, or while you had a 'substantial impairment by abnormality of mind'.
In those circumstances, manslaughter is considered to have a lesser extent of criminality than murder under the law. In that sense, the voluntary types of manslaughter offences are considered partial defences to murder.
To understand manslaughter by provocation, it's important to have a general understanding of what murder is in NSW.
What is 'murder'? You can only be guilty of a 'murder charge' if:
- You committed a voluntary act which caused the victim's death; and
- While committing that act, you:
- Had an intention to cause permanent or serious disfigurement or really serious injury to the victim; or
- Had an intention to kill; or
- Turned your mind to the probability of your conduct causing the victim's death but did it anyway; or
- Committed any other crime carrying a penalty of 25 years imprisonment or more.
Manslaughter by Provocation
Under section 23 of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW), you will be guilty of manslaughter by 'extreme provocation' if:
- You committed the offence of murder explained above; and
- Your conduct causing the death was in response to the victim's conduct (where the victim's conduct was towards you or affecting you); and
- The victim's conduct towards you (or affecting you) was a criminal offence carrying a penalty of at least 5 years imprisonment; and
- The victim's conduct caused you to lose self-control in the sense that the act causing death was done while you were in an emotional state (distinct from a deliberate act of vengeance revenge or hatred); and
- The victim's conduct that caused you to lose control could have ('possibly) caused an ordinary person to lose self-control to the extent of intending to kill or inflicting a really serious injury on the victim.
An 'ordinary person' is considered someone who has the minimum powers of self-control expected of an ordinary citizen who is sober, of the same age and level of maturity as the offender.
Alcohol voluntarily consumed by the offender is to be disregarded when considering whether the ordinary person could have lost self-control in this way.
The following circumstances do not constitute 'extreme provocation':
- Where the offender's conduct that caused the death was done in response to a non-violent sexual advance from the victim;
- Where the offender's conduct that caused the death was done after you incited the victim to commit the conduct to give yourself an excuse to use violence against the victim
Manslaughter from 'Substantial Impairment by Abnormality of Mind'
Manslaughter from 'substantial impairment by abnormality of mind' is another form of manslaughter under section 23A of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW).
You will be guilty of manslaughter from 'substantial impairment by abnormality of mind if the following applies:
- Your actions caused the victim's death; and
- At that time, your capacity to understand the events or judge whether your actions were wrong or right, or control yourself was 'substantially impaired by an abnormality of mind'; and
- That 'abnormality of mind' arose from an underlying condition. This is where the condition was a pre-existing physiological or mental condition (not necessarily permanent).
- The impairment was so substantial that it warrants your liability for murder to be reduced to manslaughter.
An offender's intoxication is to be completely disregarded when considering whether the above elements are satisfied in court.
Manslaughter by Excessive Self-Defence
Another form of voluntary manslaughter is where an offender applies force causing the victim to die while acting in excessive self-defence under section 421 of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW).
You will be guilty of manslaughter by excessive self-defence if:
- You used force causing the victim to die; and
- You did what you did believing it was necessary to protect yourself from the victim; and
- A reasonable person in your position would consider that your lethal response was not reasonable (or will consider that your response was excessive) in the circumstances you perceived it.
Intoxication from voluntary consumption of alcohol or drugs can be considered in determining whether in the circumstances you perceived at the time you believed your actions were necessary to protect yourself. However, intoxication is not to be considered in determining whether or not your actions were a reasonable response to that perceived circumstance. This was held in the popular case of self-defence in R v Katarzynski [2002] NSWSC 613.
Involuntary Manslaughter Offences
Involuntary manslaughter is when an offender causes another person's death from committing an unlawful and dangerous act, or from criminal negligence.
Manslaughter by Unlawful and Dangerous Conduct
You will be guilty of manslaughter by unlawful and dangerous conduct if:
- You committed an act that caused the victim's death in the sense that the act substantially contributed to the death; and
- You intended to commit the act that caused the death; and
- Your act was unlawful. This does not include a breach of a traffic regulation by itself; and
- Your act was dangerous in the sense that a reasonable person in your position at the time would have realised that the act exposed another person to a risk of serious injury in those circumstances.
Manslaughter by Criminal Negligence
You will be guilty of manslaughter by criminal negligence if:
- At the time, you owed a legal duty of care to the victim. It must be a legally recognised duty of care, including parent and child, or doctor and patient, employment relationship or where you assume a duty of care to another person; and
- You voluntarily committed an act (or omission) that caused the victim's death in the sense that it was the substantial cause of death or it accelerated the death; and
- You acted (or omitted to act) in a way that breached your duty of care to the victim in the sense that you either:
- Failed to exercise the standard of care a reasonable person in your shoes would have exercised in the circumstances you found yourself in at the time; or
- Or where you did what a reasonable person in your position would not have done in the circumstances you found yourself in at the time; and
- Your actions (or omission) constituted criminal negligence and merited criminal punishment for manslaughter in the sense that:
- Your actions fell so far below the standard of care which a reasonable person would have exercised in the circumstances; and
- Those actions involved such as great risk that death or really serious bodily harm would be caused.; and
- Due to that it deserves to be punished as a serious criminal offence.
Manslaughter by criminal negligence would not include careless or negligent acts that frequently occur in society. Nor would it include a simple traffic infringement from driving unless it carries that quality of criminal negligence meriting criminal punishment for manslaughter.

Biographical history
Mark F. Boyd (1889-1968), a physician, researcher and writer, specialized in tropical medicine, and his research on malaria brought him international recognition. The Rockefeller Foundation selected Boyd to conduct research on malarial regions of the
western hemisphere. He was elected President of the American Society of Tropical Medicine, and received awards for his achievements in tropical medicine. For 16 years Boyd served as an officer of the National Malaria Society and became president of the organization in 1946. Boyd also wrote a number of articles on public health and served on the Florida State Board of Public Health. He collected materials dealing with medicine, malariology, and other branches of science.
Boyd's malaria research often required travel to foreign countries, which stimulated his interest in Spanish colonial history, especially the settlement of Florida. Based on original historical documents he collected and other sources, Boyd wrote several articles, published in the Florida Historical Quarterly, as well as a book, Here They Once Stood; the Tragic End of the Apalachee Missions (1951). He served as president of the Florida Historical Association and as historian of Florida National Parks.
In addition to these pursuits, Boyd studied astronomy, ecology botany, and other fields, recording observations and compiling published information on these topics.
Content and structure elements
Scope and content
System of arrangement
SERIES I: HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS contains original documents, dated 1755-1933, and reproductions of letters, manuscripts and other materials, dated 1493-1953. Arranged chronologically, the original documents contain letters, deeds, military requisitions, sheet music, original drawings, photographs, and other materials. Correspondence relates to the Civil War and to the Seminole War. The letters of Thomas Edison, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Revolutionary and Civil War officers, and other prominent individuals appear in this Series.
A letter from Revolutionary War Captain Thomas Wooster to his wife Lydia discusses the settlement of the Territory of Florida. Writing from his post in St. Augustine in December 1789, Wooster awaits the arrival of the new governor who "will bring full instructions for the settlement of this country." His letter states that "There are fifty thousand dollars in the treasury here for that purpose and the secretary has informed me that there is to be the same sum allowed yearly ...until the Country is properly settled." (box 1, folder 4)
Correspondence relating to the war against the Seminole Indians includes a letter by James Gadsden who served as "aide-de-camp" to Jackson in the War of 1812, member of the Legislative Council of Florida Territory in 1824 and Minister to Mexico in 1853. Gadsden writes to the Secretary of War J.R. Poinsett, recommending Henry Stevens for a post in the Navy Department: "The recent death of a Midshipman ...has occasioned a vacancy which cannot be better filled than by a youth of so much promise and the son of an old naval officer who has been lost to his family by the horrid savage war devastating this territory." Gadsden's letter of January 1838 also details the recent events of the war. (box 1, folder 19)
In another letter relating to the Seminole Indian War, dated 1817, R. Arbuckle at Fort Scott writes to Major General Andrew Jackson reporting on his current military situation and supply of rations. He writes that "Nearly every Indian South East of this, is at war with the United States" and "they have among them several hundred negroes, who are armed and fighting with them." In his estimation, "The present war with those indians ...will require a much greater force than was anticipated to bring it to a speedy and favorable termination."(box 1, folder 7) Arbuckle's letter of 1818 to the Secretary of War reports on the state of affairs in his quarter and delays in receiving rations. (box 1, folder 8) The letter of B. Ingraham to his Sister Mrs. Susan Fisker provides an additional brief account of the war in 1836.(box 1, folder 11)

A letter from Henry Albert, Commissioner of Iowa State Department of Health, requests that Thomas Edison confirm the rumor that he sleeps only five hours per night. The 1927 letter contains Edison's reply--an estimate of the few hours he sleeps and an explanation: "...as the sleep was very profound without dreams and a life habit" it equaled "7 hours with the average man." Newspaper clippings, dated 1930-53, pertaining to Edison and his son appear with the letter. (box 1, folder 37)
Three original pencil drawings by John Rogers Vinton, a United States army captain, include "Osceola at Lake Monroe during Armistice May 1837," a "Light House at Key Biscayne," and an "Indian Mound at Fort Taylor, St. John's River, Florida." A letter from Vinton to Captain J. Rhette Motte, dated 1840, describes the three sketches in the series. "The first is a view of the country around Fort Taylor on the upper St. Johns, embracing an Indian mound there on top of which, our troups built a small block house. The second...the Lighthouse at Key Biscayne in which several persons were besieged by the Indians, ...the third is the sketch of the Old Barracks at St. Augustine, the former nunnery..."(box 1, folder 23) Other SERIES I photographs document the destruction of Miami and Miami Beach resulting from the 1926 hurricane.
Historical reproductions include typescript copies, as well as photostats and photocopies of documents, and prints and negatives. These materials relate to the Spanish settlement of the Americas, Native Americans and their interaction with the Spanish, the history of South Carolina, Georgia and the provinces of East and West Florida during the colonial period.
Copies of correspondence, journals and other documents relate to Spanish settlement of Florida. Catholic Church catechisms in Spanish and Timucua dating from 1612 and other materials document the missionary aspects of settlement. A translation of a Spanish document of 1676 records Native American customs including their method of naming their children, games they played and other practices. (box 3, folder 64)

Reproductions of early diaries, travel logs, manuscripts and other writings are also arranged in this series.
SERIES II: RESEARCH FILES, listed in alphabetical order by type of record, consist of correspondence, maps, notebooks,notecards, notes, and other materials. Correspondence involves research projects conducted for various organizations as well as Boyd's historical and scientific studies. In correspondence relating to historical research, Boyd explains that "Much of my leisure is now occupied in studies in local history, and I am at present occupied in learning something about a newspaper called the'Peoples World' once published in Sneads." (box 6, folder 114) Other correspondence concerns scientific research and the sketches of J.R. Vinton. A copy of Vinton's letters, background information on Vinton and his sketches, and other correspondence dated 1948-52 appears in this series.
Maps in this series reveal the locations of Spanish Forts in Florida and show "Approximate Seminole Indian Sites and Paths." Medical notebooks contain published articles based on Boyd's medical research as well as clippings of the newspaper column "Public Health Department" which Boyd, the City Health Officer, edited for the Okaloosa Daily Herald. Other notebooks contain notes on a variety of subjects including orchid cultivation, model building, and methods of air analyses.
Notecards (Boxes 8-23) consist of cardfile boxes of bibliographic references to works on United States, Central and South American history, Florida, and notes on Seminole and Creek Indians. Other file boxes contain cards on the Timucua vocabulary with English and Spanish translations.

Historical writings include papers on the Tampa Bay hotel, Martello towers at Key West, and Florida's first legislators. Lectures concern the field of entomology. Numerous reprints of Boy's articles on Malaria appear in this series in addition to a special edition of the National Malaria Society bulletin covering the presentation of the silver service award to Boyd in 1947. The publication details Boyd's contributions to the field. Boyd's manuscript entitled "Malaria"and Rockefeller Foundation International Health Division Papers, published by the Station for Malaria Research, also document Boyd's accomplishments in malariology. The Rockefeller Foundation Papers date from 1924-46, the years which Boyd directed the station.
Card catalogue entries, arranged alphabetically by subject, as well as others, by title and author, provide a listing for the majority of reprints. The reprint articles consist of four numerical series. "Reprints #9" contains historical and anthropological articles on Florida during the colonial era. "Reprints #11" and "Reprints #12" pertain to Florida and United States History. "Reprints #12" also includes natural history. "Reprints #13" appears to cover many aspects of early Florida, such as natural history, industry, and other topics. Scientific writings predominate in "Reprints #14."

Newspaper clippings from the Tallahassee Democrat dated 1927-48 relate to Florida history. A political advertisement for Albert Gilchrist's 1915 senate campaign and a copy of the Tallahassee Manor News covering local real estate trends also appears among these clippings.(box 45, folder 301) Brief biographies and articles written by Lewis describe prominent historical figures, events and buildings in the Tallahassee area.(box 45, folder 303)
Lewis attempted to gather data on Florida writers through correspondence, and responses from Benjamin Harrison and Anne McQueen are included in files. Harrison, a writer and editor for the Palatka, Pensacola, and Jacksonville papers refuses to provide information, preferring to "rest (his) future reputation" on his work for these papers, especially on his coverage of the "Call controversy." "Don't you see," he writes, "that the controversies in which I have engaged have passed into history, the decision has been rendered and, even if I could send you a collection dealing with such matters it could serve only to revive unpleasant feelings...?" (box 45, folder 302, Aug. 26 1924) In another letter, Harrison provides Lewis with a history of the "flags which have floated over Florida."
SERIES V: MAPS, contains an important collection of original and photocopies of rare and unusual maps relating to Florida. Boyd annotated many maps for his own research purposes.
SERIES VI: FLORIDA PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS, contains a group of promotional materials, including brochures published by local Chambers of Commerce, government agencies, transportation companies, and other organizations concerned with attracting permanent settlers and seasonal visitors to Florida. These materials date from the late 1880s through the early 1960s, bulk dates for the series span the thirty-year period from 1930 to 1960.
A total of 591 brochures are arranged alphabetically by city, county, or park. The brochures represent a large and varied number of tourist attractions, hotels, colleges and universities, businesses, industries, and parks. Of particular interest are Chamber of Commerce brochures promoting the social, economic, and recreational advantages of cities and towns along major thoroughfares throughout the state, from the Florida panhandle to the Florida Keys. Brochures are printed on one or both sides of a single sheet and vary in size from postcards to folded maps, newspaper advertisements and posters. Many brochures contain colorful illustrations that depict a variety of themes relating to cities, counties, and specific tourist attractions (Edison Winter Home, Fort Myers), major Florida industries (citrus and cattle ranching), and natural resources (beaches, lakes, and parks).
The series does not contain brochures relating to tourist attractions that developed after the Library acquired the Papers in 1959. However, the collection does contain interesting samples of promotional materials on older tourist attractions including Marineland, Weeki Wachee Springs, and Silver Springs. A small number of defunct tourist attractions are represented, including Oriental Gardens in Jacksonville, Florida. Important subjects documented by the promotional materials include: beaches, cities and towns, hotels, parks, real estate and land development, tourist attractions, and travel (river cruises and cruise ships, rail and bus routes).

I bet our campers, nearly 20 kids, aged 9-17, are going through a similar process.
Nearly everyone I talk to has a camp experience in their past. I believe the characteristics are similar, whatever the specific content of the camp: the awkward beginning where no one knows each other, the immersive experience of the camp, and the bonding that inevitably occurs.
Climate Camp co-coordinators Mat Davis, Kristina Hulvershorn (with the Peace Learning Center) and myself were committed to not overbook the schedule. I hope we accomplished that!
For the record, Climate Camp was July 21-25. It was a day camp, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., except we went later for our Friday showcase -- more on that, below. It was a partnership between the PLC and our Earth Charter Indiana youth program, Youth Power Indiana.
We ate vegan all week long, thanks to Indy Urban Acres, Georgetown Market and Second Helpings — whose availability to our camp was through the American Culinary Foundation, Indianapolis chapter. Our campers learned the connections between personal consumption, pollution — mostly fossil fuel pollution — climate change, and solutions for positive growth.
Enough words, in this case pictures DO tell a better story than I can express in prose.
|We began our camp with a hike thru the beautiful Eagle Creek woods, where Peace Learning Center is located.
|One of our first activities was to connect personal consumption with the concept that our consumer impact on the earth can be perceived as an act of violence. We did a "roots of violence" interactive lesson.
|Mat Davis, right, addresses the campers.
|Matt Shull, left, visited from White Pine Wilderness Academy, talking with campers about nature, animals, primitive skills and wilderness connection.
|The paparazzi descend upon deer scat.
One constant theme of the camp was that nature wastes nothing. Nature in fact turns waste — poop! — into energy, and nothing is lost in the cycle. To that end, we studied the materials economy:
|The materials economy works on a lineal path that creates waste and habitat destruction. Aiding in this area of study was a showing of Annie Leonard's "The Story of Stuff."
|With the help of Big Car, we developed a t-shirt, modeled here by Maddie.
|Campers each got their own t-shirt. As you can see the back of the shirt lists projections by the majority of climate scientists, regarding a near future of 2035. Along with a few solutions, too!
|How do you visualize a pound of CO2? Why, with balloons of course! Here, Lucy, Alden and camp counselor Alexis Litz from Hanover College, work on the balloons.
|On Wednesday, campers took to their bikes for a tour of The Nature Conservancy in downtown Indianapolis.
|Next stop was Second Helpings. Second Helpings chefs prepared our lunches — and our Friday dinner — with a vegan approach. Our lunch at Second Helpings was amazing.
|On the Cultural Trail to the Indiana State Museum, home of the annual Eco Science Fair and Going Green Fest. Some of our campers utilized the new Pacers Bikeshare system.
|Group portrait atop the Eskenazi Health Skyfarm, where food is grown for patients and staff.
|This Skyfarm blew all our minds, that a hospital would put a farm on its roof!
|Another stop that day was to visit the Indiana Statehouse. Jesse Kharbanda, left, from the Hoosier Environmental Council, talks with campers about climate change and policy.
|Tyler talks about heirloom tomatoes, his favorite!
|Tyler in the hoop house, where he can grow food year round.
|This gives you an idea of what we ate during Climate Camp.
|Chef Thom England, Culinary Instructor at Ivy Tech, shows us around the Culinary Arts building. There, chefs learn all sorts of sustainability actions.
|Lunch at DUOs Cafeteria continued our effort to feed campers locally sourced vegan food.
|The balloons are taking shape! 28 balloons = one pound of CO2.
|Jonathan and Noah served as emcees for our Climate Showcase at the end of our camp. We had poetry and song and theater and visual art.
|The campers created a play that day, fossil fuel vs. renewable energy. Happy to report that renewables ultimately won the battle!
|Aspen, one of our older campers (17; not pictured here), created a compelling performance art piece, combining a music video about human negative impact on the planet, with projections from our t-shirts.
I was in tears watching these kids stand and stare at us in the audience with these placards of horror. They are asking us for our leadership in this quest to reduce human impact and enact a new, lighter, more conscious way of being, so that the future they face is not so harrowing.
To say Climate Camp created hope to all assembled is a profound understatement. The next generation of leaders stand before us, ready to make a livable world for all.

In this section
Stavordale lies about 3 miles north-east of Wincanton, and about the same distance south-east of Bruton. It is a secluded dale running into the western slopes of the uplands of Selwood. The origin of the house is not very clear, and it is difficult to understand the reason for the foundation of a house of Austin Canons within 3 miles of the house of the same order at Bruton.
The earliest notice of the priory occurs in 1243, (fn. 1) when Roger Tyrel gave to it lands at Shalford, near Charlton Musgrove, and was received, with his wife Sarah, into the spiritual fellowship of the priory. In the same year the prior defended his right to lands at Clayhanger, (fn. 2) and proved that they were a gift from Christina Cleyhenger six weeks before her death.
In 1263 (fn. 3) we find the canons purchasing Cuddlesome (Churchelesham) by means of a gift of 40 marks from John de Axebridge, the sub-dean of the cathedral church of Wells, and, in return, the sub-dean received an annuity of 30s. and, after his death, the canons were to continue the payment to the Dean and chapter of Wells for masses at the altar of St. Mary Magdalene in the cathedral church.
In 1287 (fn. 4) we find the prior claiming the advowson of Buckhorn Weston in Dorset. In 1298 (fn. 5) the prior is entered as having encroached upon lands at Eastrip.
In 1345 (fn. 6) Robert de Mandeville of Coker granted to the priory a rent-charge of 6s. 8d. on his land at Buckhorn Weston, for the support of a chaplain to say mass in the chapel of St. Andrew at Marsh, near Wincanton, and to keep a taper burning before the altar of St. Mary in the priory.
In 1350 (fn. 7) Richard Lovel, the last of the house of the lords of Castle Cary, obtained licence to give lands at Priestley, in the parish of Doulting, to endow a chaplain in the priory church to say daily mass for the founder.
In March 1374 (fn. 8) Bishop John Harewell of Bath and Wells confirmed an earlier appropriation of the rectory of Wincanton; the duty of a resident vicar was laid upon the canons, and mass was to be said at the altar of St. James under the bell tower among others for members of the Stourton family.
In 1442 John de Stourton left three parts of the manor of Thorne Coffin with the advowson of the church there for the endowments.
The endowments prove the existence of the priory, but give us no hint as to its origin. Undoubtedly it was due to the generosity of the Lovel family, and it is probable that it was founded by Henry, Lord Lovel, who died about 1199.
In 1322 (fn. 9) Bishop Drokensford issued a commission for the visitation of the priory to inquire into the complaints as to Prior Eton's neglect of its possessions. He was accused of being wasteful of the goods of the priory, and the result of the inquiry was that he resigned. In 1361 (fn. 10) Richard St. Maur, son and heir of Nicholas St. Maur and Muriel, his wife, was declared patron of the priory, and in 1400 (fn. 11) he was buried 'in the new chapel of the priory.' At this time the canons are said to have been eight in number. The reconstruction of the conventual buildings and of this church seems to have been due not to Alicia, the wife of Lord Zouch and great-granddaughter of Richard Lovel, but to John Stourton, uncle of the first Lord Stourton. He left in his will, 1439, (fn. 12) provision that the church and the cloister at Stavordale should be completed in all things and the windows glazed, and that his and his wife's body should be buried in the middle of the choir of the said church. The rebuilding was completed in 1443, when it was consecrated by the suffragan of Bishop Stafford, (fn. 13) whose commission was 'to dedicate the nave and the conventual church of Stavordale with the choir and chancel which John de Stourton, while yet alive, had caused to be rebuilt at his own cost, and to concede to him the right of sepulture in the said church.'
The priory however was always hampered by its poverty, and in 1452 Bishop Beckington granted permission, as Bishop Bowett had done in 1403, (fn. 14) for one of the canons to gather alms throughout the diocese on behalf of his house. Certainly in the 15th century the number of canons seems to have been reduced as much as possible, and it would appear as if the Zouch family had begun to look upon the place as one they could make their own private house.
In 1526 the will (fn. 15) was proved of John, Lord Zouch, who, as a Yorkist fighting against Henry VII, had lost all his property after the battle of Bosworth Field. He appears in the latter years of his life to have settled at Stavordale, and he speaks in his will of his title, interest, lodging and other ground within the priory of Stavordale. He directs that his body should be buried within the priory in the chapel of the chantry of Jesus there, founded by himself, and he seems to have endowed this chantry with land at Pitcombe and Cole.
In 1524, after the canons had had the benefit of Richard Crie, a canon of Bruton, as their prior, they elected in his place William Grendon, canon of Taunton, and so great was the poverty of the house that Grendon was able to induce the remaining canons to apply for the union of the house with the priory of Taunton. This took place in 1533 (fn. 16) and six years afterwards the house fell with the dissolution of the priory at Taunton on 12 February 1539. Had the house remained independent it would naturally on account of its poverty have fallen in 1536.
In that same year, Richard, the son of John, Lord Zouch, wrote the following letter to Cromwell, (fn. 17) but he was unable to undo what had been accomplished two years before, and the Zouches did not get hold of Stavordale as their private residence:—
Sure plesyt yor goode masterchipe to underston yt wer I dwelle ys a pore pryery, A fundacion off my nawynsetres wyche ys my lord my fatheres ynerytens ande myne and be the reson off a lowyde pryor wt was ther whyche was a schanon off Tawnton a for browytt hytt to be a sell unto Tawnton. Ande now his hytt dystryde and ther ys but to chanons wyche be off no goode luyng ande yt ys gret petty the pore howyse scholde be so yll yntretyde werfor yff ytt may plese yor goode masterchype to be so goode master to me to gett me the pore howse wyche ys callyde Staverdell I wer bownde to pray for yor masterchyp. And also I schal bere you my harty seruys nexte the kynge ys gras and be at yor commayndment be the gras off Gode he ever presserue yor goode masterchype yor howyne pore seruantt ande bedman Rycharde Zouche.
We find however in 1548 (fn. 18) confirmation of this action of the Zouch family in the certificate concerning the chantry in the conventual chapel which is described as 'the chapel of the chantry being situate within the said Lord Zouch's house at Stavordale.'
Priors of Stavordale
Walter, occurs 1249 (fn. 19)
Robert, occurs 1254, 1263 (fn. 20)
Robert de Cherleton, died 1310 (fn. 21)

John Legge, 1508, resigned 1513 (fn. 34)
Richard Creed or Crie elected 1513 (fn. 35)
William Grendon, elected 1524 (fn. 36)
The 13th-century seal of the house of Austin Canons at Stavordale (fn. 37) is a vesica, 21/8 in. by 13/8 in., with a full-length figure of St. James the greater, the patron saint, standing on a corbel, having in his right hand his pilgrim's staff and in his left a book. At his side hangs a wallet upon which is his emblem of a scallop shell. The legend is:—SIGILL' ECCLESIE S[ANCT]I IACOBI DE STAVERDALE.

Boiling point
Would NH3 have a lower boiling point compared to CH4 because NH3 has a lone pair of electrons?

Re: Boiling point
Look at the intermolecular forces present: NH3 has the capacity to form hydrogen bonds because of its H-N bond. Hydrogen bonds, which are the strongest intermolecular forces, also have dipole-dipole and London forces (in descending order of strength of the intermolecular forces). CH4, on the other hand, only has London forces (which ALL molecules have) and is the weakest intermolecular force. As such, NH3 has a higher boiling point.
Re: Boiling point
Melting and boiling point depend on intermolecular forces. NH3 is polar with its two lone-pair electrons when CH4 is not. As a result, intermolecular forces between NH3 molecules are stronger.

Re: Boiling point
To sum up the previous comments, the stronger the bond, the higher the boiling point.

Re: Boiling point
NH3 can have Hydrogen bonding (between H and N), dipole-dipole (due to NH3 being a polar molecule), and London dispersion forces. CH4 is nonpolar so it only has London dispersion forces. NH3 has more and also stronger intermolecular forces, so it will have a higher boiling point.

Is this due to the difficulty of breaking those bonds or for a different reason?

Ombazu, Eraka Festival launches
The first ever Ombazu and Eraka Festival has been launched. The festival will take place at the village of Okozonduzu, Okakarara Constituency on June 9.
Event coordinator, Charles Venee Mieze, the festival is aimed at strengthening the roots of Ovaherero young people in their culture and in the Otjiherero language. Due to modernisation, including technological improvement, young people tend to leave their cultures to follow modern things. Themed Strengthen the roots of our culture and languages, it features traditional dances, Outjina, Omuhiva and Ondoro, and activities such as Onderera . This is just to uplift and promote our cultural activities for it not to loose value. Omajanda , Omitandu and Ovizerika will also be part of the programme too, says Mieze.
He adds that the event will have traditional meals at different stalls, with some being showcased while others will be sold. We therefore have invited Dr Jekura Kavari, a lecturer at the University of Namibia (Unam), specialising in Otjiherero, and Dr Jarimbovandu Kaputu, a cultural and language activist, as invited speakers at this historic gathering to add value to the event, says Mieze. The event will also feature learners from schools around Okozonduzu as well as students from the University of Namibia, International University of Managemen and Namibia University of Science and Technology.

4 Living understand that perfect dining chairs must combine modern contemporary style...Show details
Hide details
4 Living understand that perfect dining chairs must combine modern contemporary style with excellent functionality. A dining room needs to be practical in terms of everyday use whilst also providing a sense of occasion for a stylish dinner party. As well as being comfortable to sit on, your dining chairs should complement your dining table and provide symmetry to the dining room. All of 4 Living's contemporary dining chairs will suit any mood and will also provide comfort. Whether you choose leather dining chairs, solid wood chairs or upholstered fabric chairs, our range of contemporary designs will provide the ultimate in elegant touches.
High quality cream leather chairs are the perfect dining chairs for an elegant oriental lacquer dining table. Available as carver chairs or ordinary dining chairs, a leather dining chair provides the luxurious comfort you would expect, while the cream colour of the leather complements both the luxurious black lacquer and subtle cream white dining tables equally. As well as looking great with the contemporary oriental lacquer collection, the cream leather chairs look stylish and sophisticated with any of the solid wood tables and can also double up as occasional chairs. The carver chair is also available with Oak legs, so will also work as part of a solid Oak dining set.
4 Living are proud to offer high quality solid wood dining chairs in both Oak and Walnut. The chairs in the collection all have their own unique and subtle contemporary design features, which set them apart from ordinary dining chairs. However, these solid wood chairs are extremely versatile when it comes to style, and will fit perfectly with Oak, Walnut or Teak dining tables. Oak chairs are available with or without arms and have the smooth lines associated with the contemporary home. The beauty of the solid wood dining chairs is that they have so much contemporary character, yet will sit comfortably alongside traditional wooden furniture, oriental lacquer furniture or different contemporary pieces.
Angular, contemporary Teak dining or kitchen chairs are a popular choice for the modern dining room due to their incredible resilience and natural appearance. You could be fooled into thinking that Teak has been deliberately stained to have a nourished appearance, but it actually has natural oils that make it this way. The oils act as a natural seal, which protects against food and drink, so it's perfect for your dining room or kitchen.
If you want to have a more informal, modern dining area, 4 Living also offer some beautiful Teak stools. If you have a low dining table, or large coffee table, a Teak stool is perfect for an informal, eastern style dining experience. Teak stools also look fantastic as occasional side tables in the living room or bedroom.
Our Oak chairs with fabric upholstery meld luxurious comfort and contemporary design perfectly. The neutral taupe colour of the upholstery will suit any dining set or interior style. The natural grain of the Oak, juxtaposed with the modern lines of the wood, make for a really handsome dining chair. The design is eye-catching, making the chairs a design feature in their own right, rather than playing second fiddle to the dining table.
Our collection of contemporary furniture provides the perfect blend of elegance, functionality and eye-catching contemporary design. It can be difficult to find the right furniture for your home, especially if you haven't re-designed in a while and, as a result, your home may lack a bit of identity – but choosing from one of our ranges will create a look which is both striking and harmonious.

One of so very many patisseries in Paris. This one, in Montmartre, is representative of how quaintly distinctive each one is. Since this photo was taken later in the day, the shelves were not overstuffed with goodies like they were earlier in the day.

Beautifully designed hotel in a great area. Fab roof bar. Beds like clouds. Zzzzzzzz!!
Wonderful food. Good location. Lovely staff.

The Akyra was my first stop of a two month trip around Southeast Asia. Their new yoga and breakfast package is great for yogis and wellness travellers who want to keep up their practice away from home. You can still find peace and calm in Bangkok and the rooftop provides a refreshing escape to relax and cool down in the pool. You will also catch a stunning sunset which you can enjoy with a healthy juice or cocktail. Rooms are modern and stylish. Loved the beds which are super comfy with luxurious bed sheets. Would highly recommend the Akyra for a short stay in a fantastic location, still in the heart of Bangkok yet away from the main road and the crazy traffic.

Very nice hotel near Sukhumvit road. There are some German restaurants near the hotel and lots of food possibility. For breakfast you get a menu and can decide between two meals and eat from a little buffet. It is delicious! In the evening you can also eat at the rooftop. You have to try it. Its a nice atmosphere here and the pool is also nice. The rooms are really comfortable and modern. The staff is always helpful and friendly and you can sometimes see them making fun. We had a nice stay in November. Thanks for that!

Trendy hotel right in Asoke area. Nice rooftop bar. Very cozy. Recommended.
- by Tanapol B. (Stay date March 2019) -
Had dinner and drinks at the rooftop bar and everything was delicious. Steak was very well cooked and seasoned. Fish tacos were excellent with plenty of citrus. We loved the view and spent time taking photos of the skyline at sunset. Staff was friendly and helpful. Prices are very reasonable and there is even a happy hour menu. Great place to escape the heat and have a bite and a drink while enjoying the view

An impressive room with lots of nice touches, great amenities and clean. Overall the stay was great because the staff were very helpful with their hospitality.

| 6.8°C Belfast
A British man has been jailed for 12 months for trying to grab a policeman's gun at a Donald Trump rally in an apparent bid to kill the now US president-elect.
Michael Sandford, 20, attempted to snatch the weapon at a Las Vegas casino where Mr Trump was addressing supporters in the run-up to the US election in June.
He allegedly told officers after his arrest that his plan was to shoot the tycoon.
Sandford, who has autism, was sentenced at a federal court in Las Vegas after pleading guilty in September to charges of being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm and disrupting an official function.
Lawyers acting for the Briton said he suffers a number of mental health problems and he was diagnosed as having had a psychotic episode at the time of the incident on June 18.
Sentencing Sandford to 12 months and a day in prison, Judge James Mahan told him: "You have a medical problem. You should not be ashamed or embarrassed about it. You need medication.
"You're not a hardened criminal. You're not evil or a sociopath like a lot of people we have.
"I don't think you wanted to kill anybody. This was just some crazy stunt that your mind told you to do."
Sandford, of Dorking, Surrey, became tearful as he addressed the court to apologise for his actions.
Dressed in an orange prison uniform and wearing leg irons, he told the court: "I know saying sorry is not enough. I really do feel awful about what I did.
"I wish there was some way to make things better.
"I have cost taxpayers so much money. I feel terrible."
Addressing the judge, he added: "I'm really sorry to you and the court for taking up so much time."
Sandford had faced up to 20 years in jail had he been found guilty of the offences at a trial. He had initially denied the charges but pleaded guilty in September following a plea agreement.
Before sentencing, Sandford waved to his mother Lynne, father Paul Davey, grandmother Christine and four-year-old sister Jessica, who travelled to Las Vegas for the hearing.
Addressing the court, Mrs Sandford said: "(Michael) means everything to me,
"He made a very bad mistake, a huge error of judgment.
"It breaks my heart to see him in this environment.
"So many people back in England know this is not Michael. Everyone knows he's a good person at heart.
"He needs to get psychiatric help back at home. He's very remorseful for what he did."
Ms Sandford, whose daughter Jessica was clutching a tiger toy in court, had previously called for her son to be allowed to serve his sentence in the UK.
His lawyers say he will now serve around four months, having been detained since June, before he is deported back to Britain.
Brenda Weksler, representing Sandford, told the court: "This was really not a plan. He was just answering to voices he's been having, unfortunately, for a very long time."
Sandford was arrested at Treasure Island casino in Las Vegas where Mr Trump was addressing 1,500 supporters on June 18.
According to court documents, Sandford told a policeman at the rally that he wanted Mr Trump's autograph before he attempted to seize the officer's gun.
He was tackled by officers and frogmarched from the venue.
During a police interview, when asked why he attempted to grab the weapon, Sandford replied: "To shoot and kill Donald Trump," court records show.
He had driven to Las Vegas from Californa on June 16, and went to a shooting range the next day, where he said he learnt how to use a gun for the first time.
Sandford, who was unemployed and had overstayed his visa, told investigators he expected to die in the attempt on June 18, according to court documents.
He also claimed to have booked tickets for another Trump rally in Phoenix, Arizona, in case he was unable to attempt to take the tycoon's life in Las Vegas, prosecutors said.

Matt Wheeler (one of the simple church leaders) and I had a great conversation about this poem recently and I thought it would be great to post here. Thanks Matt for sharing this with me! I had never read it before.
By Percy Bysshe Shelley
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away".
I do love this poem as I like many of Shelley's poems and other poems of the Romantics. I was just told about the concept of Simple Church so I'm looking at the website. However, you do realize that Shelley was an atheist, right? He was a very famous atheist and even wrote a very well-known poem called The Necessity of Atheism. I just thought it should be mentioned . . .
I am a part of Living Stones Fine Arts Collective and I recently did a poem inspired by Shelley. I thought you might like to read it.

OnLive released the Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gods & Kings expansion pack in a bundle with the base Sid Meier's Civilization V game. The Sid Meier's Civilization V Bundle is priced at £19.99 (£13.99 PlayPack), which means that you get the bundle for the price of the Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gods & Kings expansion pack, as OnLive is running a launch promotion where you get Sid Meier's Civilization V for free in the bundle. This offer is valid until 29 June, 2012. You can now also play Sid Meier's Civilization V if you are a subscriber of the OnLive PlayPack.
Sadly Sid Meier's Civilization V comes to OnLive without multiplayer and this is also true for the Sid Meier's Civilization V Bundle that includes the Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gods & Kings expansion pack. It doesn't look like OnLive plans to enable multiplayer at a later date, as they haven't announced anything regarding multiplayer. On the bright side, OnLive has stated that they are working with the game publisher 2K Games to get all the add-ons that the Sid Meier's Civilization V: Game of the Year Edition has.
Sid Meier's Civilization V
Sid Meier's Civilization V is a turn-based strategy 4X game published by 2K Games and developed by Firaxis Games.
Become Ruler of the World by establishing and leading a civilization from the dawn of man into the space age: Wage war, conduct diplomacy, discover new technologies, go head-to-head with some of history's greatest leaders and build the most powerful empire the world has ever known.
- Believable World - More than just a strategy game - the expanded visuals and immersive audio invite would-be kings to take up the reigns of power and forge a mighty empire. Civilization V offers a limitless variety of vast, realistic and diverse landscapes for players to explore, battle over and claim as their own.
- Inviting Presentation - An intuitive interface eases both new players and Civ veterans into the game. Guided by a set of trusted advisors who will explain game functionality and provide counsel for significant decisions, even first-time players will be confident in the choices they make.
- Huge Battles - Combat is more exciting and engaging than ever before. Wars between empires feel massive with armies spreading across the landscape.The addition of ranged bombardment allows players to fire weapons from behind the front lines, challenging players to develop clever new strategies to guarantee victory on the battlefield.
- Live History - Write your own epic story each time you play! Choose one of eighteen historical civilizations to lead from the stone-age to the space age on your quest to build the world's most powerful empire.
- Improved Diplomacy - Negotiate with some of history's most cunning rulers, each with a well-crafted plan for victory. Successful diplomacy will depend on players carefully managing relationships with other leaders, trading items, plying them with gold, and deciding if they are friend or foe. City States will present a new diplomatic battleground on which the major powers of the world will vie for supremacy.

Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gods & Kings
Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gods & Kings is the first official expansion pack for the turn-based strategy 4X game Sid Meier's Civilization V - the critically acclaimed 2010 PC Game of the Year. Both were published by 2K Games and developed by Firaxis Games.
This robust expansion covers the entire scope of time from founding your first Pantheon of the Gods and spreading religion across the world, to deploying spies in enemy cities in order to steal information and technology.
As you move through the ages, you'll interact with new types of city-states, engage in new city-state quests and global competitions, and master exciting new systems for land and naval combat. Civilization V: Gods and Kings also includes nine new civilizations, nine new wonders, three original scenarios, and dozens of new units, buildings, and techs that offer even more ways for players to expand their empire and dominate the world.
- Expanded Epic Game - The core game experience has been greatly expanded with the addition of new technologies (like Combined Arms), 27 new units (like the new 1-hex ranged unit Machine Gunner), 13 new buildings (like the Bomb Shelter), and 9 new Wonders. Additionally, there are even more new units and buildings included in the three new Scenarios.
- New Civilizations - The expansion delivers 9 new civilizations, such as Carthage, Netherlands, the Celts, and the Maya (it is 2012, after all), along with their unique traits, units and buildings. The expansion also includes 9 new leaders including William I, Prince of Orange, Boudicca and Pacal the Great.
- Religion - A righteous people will seek out Faith to found a Pantheon of the Gods. As your Faith becomes stronger, you can cultivate Great Prophets who build on these simple beliefs to create a religion that you can customize and enhance as desired. Are you tolerant of other religions or is this the one true faith? Are you focused on Gold, Arts or Military? Beliefs can even unlock custom buildings that only people of your religion can construct. Great prophets, missionaries and inquisitors help you spread your beliefs to other lands and gain the alliances of City States, and like-minded civilizations.
- Enhanced Diplomacy and Espionage - Establish embassies at foreign courts for closer ties (or clandestine operations). As the religions of the world start settling in, and the world moves into the Renaissance, you unlock your first spy (with more to come). Send them out to establish surveillance of foreign cities, steal advanced technologies from your strongest or wisest competitors, or interfere with city-state alliances. All of your actions can have a diplomatic impact if discovered, so always tread carefully.
- Naval Combat - Your navy is now split into two different ship types, melee and ranged. This means that no coastal city should be considered safe, and can now fall to a surprise naval attack. Additionally, all embarked units now have Defensive Embarkation, and can stack with a naval unit for extra protection. Add to this the new Great Admiral, and the high seas have become a much more dangerous place.
- New Wonders - There are 9 new Wonders with all new effects including Neuschwanstein, the Great Mosque of Djenne, the Terracotta Army, the Great Firewall, and the Hubble Space Telescope.
- City-States - Two new city-state types have been added (Mercantile and Religious) to bring all new advantages to the table. The city-state quest system has received a complete overhaul to decrease the importance of gold and add a whole range of new quests that further the narrative of the game, as well as make the diplomatic victory a more varied option. Ally with Marrakech to get access to their unique luxury resources! Vatican City and Jerusalem are holy cities that play key roles in the religious struggle.
- Three new Scenarios - INTO THE RENAISSANCE: Grow your medieval kingdom into one of the great nations of Renaissance Europe, fending off outside invasions from Mongols and Ottoman Turks and fighting the religious wars of the Crusades and Reformation! - FALL OF ROME: Play as either Eastern Rome or Western Rome trying to fend off the barbarians or as one of the barbarians themselves. - EMPIRES OF THE SMOKY SKIES: Build flying airships and huge tractor-like tanks from the unique tech tree of this Victorian science-fiction scenario, then spread your empire across the pre-industrial world.
- World Domination - The fight for world domination is now more dynamic than ever before. The Gods and Kings expansion features a reworked combat system and AI that puts more emphasis on a balanced army composition. The new system allows your lines to stand longer than they could before, so you, as a player, can make smarter tactical decisions without worrying about a single unlucky roll of the dice.

Presidio Lands $62M Bridge Loan for Napa Valley Hotel
- By
- Aug 18, 2017
Presidio Cos. has received a $62 million loan for Las Alcobas Napa Valley, a new luxury hotel in St. Helena, Calif.
CBRE Hotels arranged the financing. Marc Sallette and Olga Lepow of CBRE Hotels' debt & structured finance team in Houston secured a five-year, floating-rate, non-recourse bridge loan at 65 percent LTV with Goldman Sachs Bank USA and an affiliate of Ohana Real Estate Investors. The money replaces the construction loan and subordinate financing for the hotel with less than 90 days of operating history.
"Lenders appreciate the intrinsic value of the luxury boutique hotel real estate in Napa. Lenders were willing to compete for the opportunity to finance this specific asset given the unique attributes and competitive advantages," Sallette told Commercial Property Executive. "The hotel was also developed at a cost significantly below its 'as-complete' value."
Located at 1915 Main St., Las Alcobas Napa Valley features 68 guestrooms with outdoor terraces and vineyard views, 3,900 square feet of meeting space, an outdoor heated swimming pool and a 3,600-square-foot full-service spa.
"St. Helena is a very upscale, exclusive and refined Napa Valley Destination," Sallette said. "Having a 200-acre vineyard complex, including a historic mansion and wine making facilities next door, as well as being walking distance to Main St., coupled with the Culinary Institute of America complex, creates a set of unique experiences all within walking distance."
Historic appeal, high-end finishes
Las Alcobas Napa Valley opened earlier this summer after a complete renovation and repositioning of its historical building, Acacia House, and the construction of six new buildings to form a luxury resort.
The Acacia House was originally constructed as a private residence in 1907 and serves as the hotel's restaurant today, boasting celebrity chef Chris Cosentino and his Napa-inspired menu.
According to Sallette, there are many things appealing about the hotel. It's a fabulous location, immediately adjacent to and overlooking the Beringer Vineyards; offers award-winning design and luxury finishes; huge guestrooms and outdoor terraces; a celebrity chef restaurant; incredible meeting space for high-end corporate and social events; a full-service spa; and is in walking distance to downtown St. Helena.
Yabu Pushelberg designed the hotel's interiors, while the hotel's design and direction was guided by Las Alcobas Hotels & Resorts and is affiliated with Marriott's Luxury Collection.

Since 1984, Dutch Hollow Supplies has been a leading one-stop shop for janitorial, packaging, office, and safety supplies in the greater St. Louis area. Priding themselves on building business relationships, this family-oriented company has grown and prospered throughout their 30 year history.
"DDI has smart deployment methods that ensure new features are keeping up with the needs of wholesale distributors."
Seven years ago, Dutch Hollow Supplies took the leap into enterprise resource planning (ERP) incorporating DDI System's Inform ERP Software into their daily operations - and they haven't looked back!
The Beginning
Dutch Hollow Supplies had outgrown their QuickBooks Enterprise software and the business needed something more to carry them into the future. In 2007, they chose DDI's Inform solution. Initially, the software provided the ability to gradually incorporate new features and streamline their operational workflows. The team was able to practice using& Inform prior to going live allowing their team to be comfortable and confident as the transition took place.
Instant Return on Investment (ROI)
Thinking back to when they converted, Eric Cadell, Vice President of Operations at Dutch Hollow Supplies, remembers how accounts receivables and net pay averages decreased by 5 days - almost overnight. The auto watch and credit hold functionality was automated, saving time and highlighting outstanding bills to all team members. This transparency allowed sales and customer service reps to assist and make a notable impact with their customer accounts.
Over the years, ongoing ROI has continued to directly and positively impact their bottom line!
