Mexico has been getting bad press of late due to the narcotraficantes and the attendant violence in some areas. Don't be put off. The main tourist areas are no more dangerous than in any other country. Pragmatism is essential wherever you travel and its application in Mexico will ensure that you have a trouble-free vacation. I have traveled extensively in Mexico over the last 10 years without experiencing any serious problems. This country has much to offer the tourist that is of real value. Here are my ten reasons why you should make that special trip:
Inspiring art
Being a culture vulture, I love Diego Rivera's painted murals. Very politically aware and somewhat controversial, his work describes the Mexican society of his day in excellent and vivid detail. There are examples in museums and galleries throughout the world, but nothing beats viewing it at the Palacio de Bellas Artes (Palace of Fine Arts) in Mexico City.
Unusual museums
After Paris, Mexico City has the greatest quantity of museums in the world. With cheap flights available it's possible to spend an entire vacation visiting all 150 of them. I always enjoy the million antique toys on display at the Museo del Juguete Antiguo Mexico, plus a trip to the newer Museo de Tequila y Mezcal, where I have been known to purchase a souvenir or two.
The toast of Mexico
Mexico is the place to sample real tequila, made from the blue agave plant and produced around the town of the same name, or in the Los Altos region. While you're at it, don't miss Oaxaca's smoky mezcal.
Great eating
Mexican cuisine has an extra dimension in Oaxaca, with delicacies such as grasshoppers (chapulines) and mole poblano, named after Puebla – my personal favorite food city. Two other famous dishes here are: chiles en nogada – chili pepper in walnut sauce with pomegranates – and cemita, a large, meaty sandwich. Delicioso!
Archaeological treasures
In archaeological sites all over Mexico there have been exceptional finds; the caves are particularly stunning, with paintings that date from 8000 B.C. If you don't have time to do a complete tour of archaeological sites, you can explore Mexico's rich history of successive civilizations at the National Anthropology Museum (Museo Nacional de Antropologia) in Mexico City.
Mexico's impressive mountains and extinct volcanoes lure those who love to climb, and the country offers plenty of hiking, biking, and kayaking adventures. Personally, I'm happy just to glide sedately across the peaceful crater lake La Maria, about 130 kilometers south of the city of Guadalajara.
Great places to stay
From boutique hotels to rustic palapas, Mexico offers travelers a variety of charming and cheap places to stay. With its retro look – think of Elvis in the 1963 movie Fun in Acapulco – the Hotel Boca Chico is one of my favorites.
Beach life
With glamorous resorts, laid back surf towns, and remote inlets, Mexico's coasts appeal to every stripe of traveler. One of my favorite stops is Puerto Morelos, on the 'Mayan Riviera'.
Local crafts
Skilled Mexican artisans use wood, clay, stone, glass, metals, and textiles to produce a wide range of decorative handmade merchandise. My friends and family love it when I return from Mexico with gifts of clothing and home accessories such as beautiful pitchers and glasses.
Rodeo fun
It's fun watching the Mexican horse trainers at work in the Lagos de Moreno area, or taking part in traditional branding days and cheering on the superb riders in the Mexican rodeos. High spirits always result – even before the tequila!

In a bid to further encourage payments on its Point of Sale Terminal (PoS) terminals, Pan African Financial services group, United Bank for Africa (UBA), has announced that it will be rewarding 25 lucky customers with N100,000 each, when they make payments with their UBA cards on UBA POS terminals at any merchant location.
The promo which is scheduled to run till December 31, 2018, will see a total of 25 people become N100,000 richer, just by paying on UBA POS terminals at any merchant location across Nigeria. After repeated use, the customers will be automatically enlisted for the draw when the total sum of payments they have made on UBA POS terminals exceeds N50,000. A total of N2.5 million is up for grabs.
Speaking during the launch of the promo, Group Head, Cards, Dr Yinka Adedeji, explained that the Promo is in line with the bank's initiatives of rewarding customers, loyal to the bank. "We believe it is time we rewarded our customers who have been very loyal over the years. Without them, we probably would not have made the giant strides attained all over the years and in recent times," he said.
According to him, "Because customers are at the heart of what we do, we remain committed to consistently improving customer service and delighting our loyal customers as we help them grow."
UBA is one of Africa's leading banks with operations in 20 African countries and in London and New York, with presence in Paris.

All you need to know about the 2018 North Norfolk Food Festival at Holkham Hall
PUBLISHED: 00:08 02 September 2018 | UPDATED: 00:08 02 September 2018
North Norfolk Food Festival
Follow the food fans in the know to a corner of Norfolk where the very best of the county is being showcased at an annual show which is a must for those who love the very best produce from North Norfolk. Here's what you can look forward to at 2018's North Norfolk Food Festival.
From the honesty boxes on the roadside brimming with samphire to the extraordinary selection of incredible pubs and restaurants serving simply stunning food, the independent delicatessens which share the best of Norfolk's bounty with customers to the brewers turning malt into gold, the north of the county houses an embarrassment of gourmet riches.
The north boasts exceptional seafood and its fertile land provides incredible fruit and vegetables in addition to the pastures where cows and sheep are raised for milk to produce artisan cheese or for their superior meat.
And it's also home to one of the biggest events in Norfolk's food calendar, The North Norfolk Food and Drink Festival at Holkham Hall on September 1 and 2.
This year, the festival boasts more exhibitors, a brand new sponsor, a new award for a North Norfolk Food Hero, a chance to find out how to make the ultimate Great Norfolk Breakfast and the opportunity to help create a showstopping Biscuit Beach Hut with Norfolk's former Great British Bake Off contestant Kate Barmby.
Now in its ninth year and one of the region's most popular local produce events, the festival has become a firm favourite in the Norfolk social calendar, attracting more than 50 stall holders and up to 12,000 visitors every year. And it's easy to see why.
Chris Coubrough, from The Crown Hotel, Wells, is Festival Chairman: "We are so proud of the festival, which has grown and grown over the years and is now an event which is a real highlight of the year. It's not just a celebration of our rich, culinary heritage and a chance to showcase outstanding field-to-fork produce to a wider audience, it's also a fantastic weekend to enjoy food and drink with friends and family in a stunning, iconic location. It's a feast for all the senses!
"It's a fantastic event to take part in and grows year on year, demonstrating just how popular and, thanks to a wealth of growers, brewers, producers, farmers, chefs and bakers, diverse and thriving Norfolk's food and drink scene is."
Testament to the quality of provenance of local food and drink, all exhibitors' products must be grown, reared, caught, produced or sold in North Norfolk.
As with previous years, stall holders, food concessions and sponsors can be found in the historic Walled Garden with the range of sweet and savoury produce including: real ales and fresh juices; fresh meat and poultry; local seafood; cheese; vegetables; local honey, cakes, fruit, ice-cream, puddings and tarts.
The food court area, just outside the Walled Garden, will provide attendees with a tantalising range of food and drink for consumption on site, from concessions including Arthur Howell and his famous hog roast, the Fruit Pig Company with its award-winning sausages and Morston Mud Inns with seafood.
For those inspired by what they see and taste around them, there's the opportunity to learn from the experts in the ever-popular Cookery Theatre, organised and hosted by Mary Kemp, where leading chefs and bakers demonstrate their skills.
In addition to Chris, who will be cooking up a storm using locally sourced produce, will be Fran Hartsthorne (The White Horse, Brancaster Staithe), Eric Snaith (Titchwell Manor), Vanessa Scott (Strattons, Swaffham) and Michael Chamberlain (The Victoria Inn, Holkham). Richard Bainbridge (Benedicts, Norwich) will also be joining the Cookery Theatre for the first time.
Breakfast (or second breakfast) lovers will enjoy getting tips from Wells-based butcher, Arthur Howell, Chris Coubrough and Kate Barmby, a former contestant on The Great British Bake Off, creating their version of The Great Norfolk Breakfast.
Kate,will also be showcasing her cooking skills in what looks set to become one of the main talking points of the festival: creating a beach hut scene made of biscuits in the Children's Baking Tent. Attending children will be welcome to get their hands sticky by decorating biscuits as sea creatures which will then be added to the Biscuit Beach Hut.
She will also join the judging panel for the baking competition hosted by Kinnerton's Chocolate along with some of the festival committee, including Mary Kemp, Sarah Hardy and Lucy Downing, brand manager for sponsors SALT, the county's boutique, coastal holiday retreat company.
Children will be kept well entertained when not filling up on delicious goodies. Tilly the Talespinner, a Norfolk-based storyteller will be weaving her magic and captivating children and adults alike, with stories providing nourishment for the soul throughout the festival.
There will also be a food-related treasure hunt.
New for this year, the festival committee has decided to honour a local food hero, Teddy Maufe, specialist barley grower and brewer from Holkham Estate's Branthill Farm and the original founder of the North Norfolk Food and Drink Festival.
Teddy said: "The North Norfolk Food Hero Award means a lot to me as promoting North Norfolk food and drink has always been a goal of mine. Being a farmer here near Wells-next-the-Sea, closely allied to the food and drink chain, sowed the seed of the idea to start a North Norfolk Food and Drink Festival. This, I am so pleased to say has grown and grown helped by a great committed committee and a lovely venue courtesy of the Holkham Estate in their Walled Gardens."
Kettle Foods, which uses potatoes mainly grown in North Norfolk, will once again be the festival's headline sponsor.
As headline sponsor, Kettle Foods will once again be offering a £1,000 mentoring prize to help start-ups and small producers. Commenting on what such a prize means to smaller producers, 2017 winner, John Watt a.k.a. Grimsby from Pyebaker says: "Our year at Pyebaker has been difficult to say the least. Many companies have suffered in this past year and our High Streets are changing and many of the big names have disappeared.
"With the help of Ashley Hicks and his team at Kettle Foods I personally have taken a lot of advice about how I look at Pyebaker, our team and the internal structure of the company. The prize is not just about winning it's about how and why it can help. I thank Kettle Foods for this opportunity my only regret is that I didn't have more time to spare with Ashley and his team."
The North Norfolk Food and Drink Festival is organised by a Festival Committee. Festivals such as this are supported by a county wide organisation: Norfolk Food and Drink Ltd.
* Festival gates open at 10am and close at 4pm. Holkham Hall is open on the Sunday from 12 noon until 4pm (last entry). Holkham Park is open both days from 10am to 5pm. Entry is free of charge. A car parking charge of £3 applies in Holkham Park.

Sept16: FORMER POLITICAL PRISONERS WELCOME INTL RIGHTS LAWYERS' SUPPORT FOR MORONG 43 AND ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS, SET TO JOIN NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION AND SYMPATHY FAST
September 16, 2010
The Samahan ng Ex-Detainees Laban sa Detensyon at Aresto (SELDA) today welcomed the concern and support extended by members of the International Association of Democratic Lawyers to the plight of the 43 health workers who were illegally arrested and are still under detention, as they met yesterday with Justice Secretary Leila de Lima to press for the their immediate release.
Fr. Dionito Cabillas, Secretary General of SELDA, said the delegation of eight lawyers from various parts of the globe led by IADL President Jeanne Mirer expressed their concern for the immediate review of the case.
"We hope that Sec. de Lima's review on the case of the Morong 43 will start very soon, as every day in detention is another day of injustice for the detained health workers. We urge the Justice Secretary to likewise review the cases of the 388 political prisoners who remain in jails and detention centers nationwide," Cabillas stated.
SELDA, together with Karapatan and the Free the 43 Health Workers Alliance, is set to conduct the National Day of Action and Sympathy Fast tomorrow to call for the immediate release of the Morong 43 and all political prisoners.
Martial Law activists and SELDA board members led by Marie Enriquez (Chairperson), stage and film director Boni Ilagan (Vice Chairperson), former Bayan Muna Rep. Satur Ocampo, and woman leader Trinidad Herrera will join tomorrow's activities. Political prisoners in detention facilities in Cordillera, National Capital Region, Cebu, Bohol, Negros, Leyte, Misamis Oriental, and Compostela Valley will join the sympathy fast.

Regulating DC link voltage fluctuations on a grid connected wave power system using energy storage
Jones, C. E. and Finney, S. J. and Parry, C. S.; (2011) Regulating DC link voltage fluctuations on a grid connected wave power system using energy storage. In: IET Renewable Power Generation Conference 2011. IET, GBR, pp. 121-126. ISBN 9781618394552

The fluctuating nature of power generated from waves combined with the weak nature of the network, makes the connection of arrays of wave energy converters (WECs) to the network a challenge. This paper investigates the research questions raised by the proposed development of a wave farm using coastal WECs, where the spatial layout of the WECs is restricted and cannot be used to damp the fluctuations in generated power. The concept of using energy storage on a common DC link to compensate for the fluctuations in real power, and ensure that the power quality on a weak, rural distribution network is not compromised, will also be discussed.

Experts believe our collection of Big Data will double every two years until 2020.
Much of those digital artifacts come from people like you and me as we "Like" things on Facebook, buy books over the web, post blog entries, and share smartphone photos on Instagram. Yet only a fraction of this data is actually being used.
So what should we do with it?
Eric Siegel says that most valuable thing we can do with data is to "learn from it how to predict."
The founder of the Predictive Analytics World conference, Dr. Siegel is also the author of the bestselling book, "Predictive Analytics," with the catchy subtitle of "The Power to Predict Who Will Click, Buy, Lie, or Die."
Throughout the book, Siegel provides real-life examples of how organizations use data and software to infer something unknown, perhaps imperfectly but often with surprising accuracy.
For example, Siegel covers how the retail giant Target Corporation uses predictive analytics to decide which of its shoppers might be pregnant and how financial services giant Chase predicts which customers might pay off mortgages early (good for the homeowner but bad for Chase since they lose interest payments).
Siegel points out that after a predictive application provides insight, somebody still has to do something about it. Target needs to provide pregnancy-related coupons to pregnant customers. Chase needs to convince mortgage holders to stay.
Siegel's book focuses on five different "effects" of using data to infer some unknown situation:
"A little prediction goes a long way."
The Data Effect
"Data is always predictive."
The Induction Effect
"Art drives machine learning; when followed by computer programs, strategies designed in part by informal human creativity succeed in developing predictive models that perform well on new cases."
The Ensemble Effect
"When joined in an ensemble, predictive models compensate for one another's limitations, so the ensemble as a whole is more likely to predict correctly than its component models are."
The Persuasion Effect
"Although imperceivable, the persuasion of an individual can be predicted by uplift modeling, predictively modeling across two distinct training data sets that record, respectively, the outcomes of two competing treatments."
In addition to these five effects, Siegel covers the important Big Data topic of ethics.
Imagine that your company could predict which of its customers were likely to die soon. What actions should it take? Who owns that powerful piece of information? Are there any obligations and responsibilities related to holding that insight?
I found Siegel's book to be not only educational but also enjoyable; it was like a "Moneyball" for the business world. And it was not without a game; Siegel devoted an entire chapter to how IBM's Watson computer used predictive analytics to beat humans on Jeopardy!.
If you want a free copy of the book, just attend one of the upcoming PAWCon events. In September, there is one in Boston where you can hear Dr. Siegel during the keynote presentation.

Hurricane Irma is now devastating Florida in the United States. A hurricane is a tropical cyclone there, the same thing as a typhoon over here. Storms have many names.
I'm tempted to say Floridians are never ready for a storm as bad as a hurricane, but Filipinos here are just as bad. It seems people won't prepare for any storm until it already threatens their particular areas.
People will make a big deal about a hurricane hitting a particular region in the United States because of how rarely it happens. The Asian Pacific islands (including the Philippines) get hit by typhoons every year. Amazingly, a single typhoon has yet to hit my area of the Philippines this year. We're getting a lot of rain, but it's only coming in spurts of two or three days at a time. This is the driest rainy season I've experienced in more than 11 years.
I sometimes get confused about what to call a tropical cyclone when it hits certain areas. I once thought a typhoon meant Pacific and a hurricane meant Atlantic. The storm that hit Hawaii in 1982, when I was there, was a hurricane.
A tropical cyclone is a hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean and northeastern Pacific Ocean, a typhoon in the northwestern Pacific Ocean and just a cyclone in the south Pacific or Indian Ocean.
A tropical cycle doesn't scare me. My house doesn't get damaged by wind and rain, unless you count exterior paint. The bright sunlight does just as much damage as storms in that regard.
Earthquakes scare me. There's damage to my house every time. Most of it's just cracks in the cement finish, but I found one crack that went all the way through a wall. Luckily, it wasn't a primary support structure.
If there's one thing that can scare me enough to make me retreat to the United States, it's an earthquake. If a really strong one occurs nearby, I'm leaving this country no matter how much I like it here.

Abdi Setiawan's work is installation-based, and features half or life-size sculptures of everyday Indonesians in various social settings. A very skillful wood carver, he makes mainly wooden sculptures along with fibre glass hand-painted unique replicas or editions. His rendering of the figures are not only realistic but also infused with humorous satire.
29 Desember 1971, Pariaman, Sumatera Barat, Indonesia
ISI Yogyakarta, Jurusan Seni Kriya, 2003
Abdi Setiawan's sculptures return to the skill of wood carving while deploying the artist's entire imagination and perception to depict the Indonesian human figure. The work takes form as a spatial arrangement, which presents the atmosphere of a city corner such as a waiting room, bus terminal or shopping mall; a representation of a fragment of the activities of city dwellers – which wait, come and go – just wryly. The realistic rendering of the figures pokes us with satire so that we smile away our embarrassment in recognising our own behaviour reflected. Today's life and culture are those of the city – with all its complexity of problems: population explosion, insufficient dwelling space, transportation, excessive consumption, crime and poverty. The advancement of modernity and its related humanitarian problems are becoming obvious in urban life. Direct involvement in attempt to familiarise himself with the atmospheres of certain corners of the city as well as the characters of the people there, almost always prevails in Setiawan's process of making works. Setiawan understands the emotional experiences that have their shares in shaping the characters of the figures he intends to offer by means of his sculptures. However, in the making and finishing of his works the artist transcends the experiences and observations. He knows he needs to add his personal interpretations and judgments to the various recorded physiognomic data of his figures. He reclaims his humanitarian intention and interest to critically understand what is going on around him. And he has to deal with discovering and defining the various formal aspects in his works so as to contain all his ideas and thoughts. Abdi Setiawan carefully calculates the elements necessary to represent in his sculpture figures. The teak wood he carves roughly so as to produce unlevelled surface. The acrylic colours enforced to mix on the surface of the polyester casts of his wood sculptures are effecting detailed accessories and clothing, and through gestures and poses (arms crossed, gripping a hand phone), facial expressions, gazes and glances – all elements which add to the rich physiognomic images in his works. Tattoos, clothing patterns and brands, graphical T-shirt imprints and other attributes from popular culture make strong references to art history. Not always Setiawan feels the need to give his figures life sizes. He has already arrived at the plane where he gives prominence to rich physiognomic images rather than merely anatomic precisions. – Enin Supriyanto

Dadang Christanto has spent his career honouring the countless victims of political violence and crimes against humanity. His work expresses the suffering of victims and lays bare the anguish and grief that is endured in silence by those left behind. Despite the raw socio-political nature of his work, Christanto continues to produce art which pleads for compassion, regardless of differing faiths and political beliefs.
Dadang Christanto is an internationally acclaimed artist who has been curated into major art events worldwide including the Sydney Biennale (2010), the Venice Biennale (2003), Yogyakarta Biennial, Indonesia (2003), Kwangju Biennale, South Korea (2000), the Bienal de Sao Paulo, Brazil (1998) and the first and third Asia-Pacific Triennials of Contemporary Art, Brisbane (1993 & 1999). His work is held in major public and private collections around the globe.
The series of heads exhibited in 'austral-asia zero three' (Sherman Galleries, 2003) and shown previously at the Alliance Française Gallery in Yogyakarta, refer to the relentless cruelty of humankind among those of different faiths or political systems. The disappearance of multitudes of Indonesian political dissidents during the mid-1960s purges, when Dadang's father was lost without trace, is a recurring theme in the artist's oeuvre.

Purnomo is one the very few ceramic artists from Indonesia. Although the subjects of his art are ordinary objects, many times with incredible realistic details, they bear deeper thoughts while at the same time still keep a sense of humour. Purnomo works range from simple individual ceramic objects to ceramic installations, now collected in Indonesia and abroad.

Wahyu Srikaryadi is an established visual art artist from West-Java, Indonesia. Although he mainly makes paintings, he now also creates some installations and occasionally also sculptures. Starting his art career as an apprentice of Barli Kartasasmita (1982-1989), one of the modern painting masters of Indonesia, he later works together with Ida Bagus Suadjana and I Gusti Matre (1994-1995). While the former masters influenced his early expressionist style, he grows gradually more interested in depicting details sharply, with clear lines and high contrasts. Rather than realist artist, he also set his subjects in dreamy overly romantic landscape or surroundings. While his paintings of Javanese Hindu and Buddhist temples are proven to be popular, his nude paintings earn a selective collectors group.

Belajar tentang kesadaran dan belajar dari kebajikan adalah belajar dengan mengalami sendiri secara langsung dan bukan karena percaya berdasarkan mitos atau pendapat yang diyakini orang lain. Menguji pengalaman diri sendiri baik yang bersifat vertikal ataupun horizontal. Yang mendapatkan pengajaran dari "hidup" ini sendiri maupun yang Ilahiah.
Hal tersebut di atas sangat berpengaruh pada proses berkarya saya, baik contents maupun visual. Tentunya sangat subyektif dan agak tersembunyi. Dan ini adalah pilihan saya dalam berkesenian, dan merupakan konsekuensi logis yang saya hadapi. Tapi berkesenian seperti ini membuat saya bahagia, karena saya punya keyakinan bahwa apa yang saya ceritakan melalui karya saya tetap ada orang-orang yang dapat menangkap atau menerima "tanda" yang saya sampaikan. Ibarat seseorang yang pernah mencicipi atau makan buah apel, tentunya dia dapat dengan mudah menceritakan bagaimana rasa, warna dan kondisi buah apel kepada orang yang punya pengalaman mencicipi atau makan buah tersebut.

In my extensive travels and professional exploration of fine spirit establishments, dive bars and cantinas through Latin America, I must say without a doubt that I am left in awe at the growth and the level of cocktail expertise found in the country of Mexico. In regards to craft cocktails and the vast selection of unique spirits, over a short period of time this country has made a mark on the industry that I hold so dear.
The country of Mexico has had a long standing vibrant history of culinary accolades and accomplishments worldwide, spawning some of the world's best and innovative chefs, cooks and restaurant tours. The grand Mexican landscape allows for a very diverse menu from central American influenced cuisine, like Oaxaca mole, implementing traditional Mexican flavors like cacao and oja santa. Not be left in the culinary cuisine shadow, Mexico's craft cocktail scene has in recent years created a name for itself. The craft cocktail culture in Mexico has been bubbling for years and is ready to explode. From its diverse cultural influences to its wide array of natural ingredients, Mexico is creating a unique identity of its own to rival other premier cocktail giants worldwide.
Mexico's cocktail elite have come together and united to create a home to what has become the mecca of Mexican cocktail culture. Equipped with an arsenal of knowledge of agave spirits such as Mezcal, Tequila, Pulque, Sotol and others they continue to drive the creative ideas that we have come to find commonplace in cocktail creation. These individuals not only honed their skills in pueblos across Mexico by training their palettes and techniques, but have also incorporated skills from abroad. These cocktails explorers have studied and been educated by some of the best bars worldwide and have returned to impart this knowledge onto their counterparts in Mexico.
Mexico City has served as the canvas for these young emerging and highly talented bartenders and mixologists to practice their craft. Mexico city's densely populated streets serve as an infinite well of consumers and patrons who are not only willing, but also excited, to partake of these creative libations. The capital city of Mexico serves as a crossroads of pop culture and influential force of creativity. It is also the home and birthplace to many phenomenal individuals such as artist and female icon Frida Kahalo, Golden globe and academy award-winning actress Lupita Nyongo, acclaimed film director Mario Van Peebles and musician Alejandro Fernandez who has sold over 30 million albums worldwide. Whether through music, art or food, Mexico City is effortlessly accessible to up and coming cocktail mavericks.
Trends begin here in Mexico City and the bar has been set with trailblazing locations like Licoreia Limantour under the leadership of Jose Luis Leon. This location was not only the first craft cocktail themed establishment, but also the first to land on the prestigious list of fifty world's best bars. Seemingly opening the floodgates for the cocktail culture, we are viewing today. Even traditional historic locations like La Opera, which have been around since the late 1800's and who even hosted Pancho Villa in 1910 have followed suit in attempts to create and cultivate a cocktail menu. The changing of the guard is evident as currently there are over fifty well-respected and curated bars to enjoy an array of cocktails ranging from rooftops, speakeasies, and traditional sangria filled cantinas to the high profile molecular gastronomy inspired cocktails.In conjunction with the current influx of interest and consumption of Tequila worldwide, Tales of the Cocktail, having hosted events in Mexico city over the past few years, completes the roundup of high quality Mexican bars. It is now primed to take its place atop the ranks and has become widely accepted by spirit brands, distilleries and industry professionals alike.
Mexico has truly transcended the stigma of being exclusively known for spring break margaritas and cheap tequila shots and has become a highly desirable and uniquely creative destination of the elevated cocktail connoisseur. Excitingly the evolution has grown and it can no longer be contained by this massive city. More and more establishments where you can enjoy a meticulously crafted cocktail are popping up across the entire country.
Below is a list of my favorite locations that must be experienced firsthand:
- King Cole Bar- Paseo de la Reforma 439, Cuauhtémoc, 06500 Ciudad de Mexico, CDMX, Mexico.
- La Opera- 5 de Mayo 10, Centro 0600, Cuauhtémoc, CDMX, Mexico
- Licoreia Limantour-Avenida Alvaro Obegobn Roma Norte 106 Del. Cuauhtémoc, 00700, Mexico
- Olivera Cocktail bar- Libertad 1852 Americana, 44160 Guadalajara, JAL, Mexico.
- La Capilla-Mexico Centro 4600 Tequila, JAL, Mexico

The body of a newly-born female child was found floating in the River Tyne.
It was in an advanced state of decomposition but it was determined that the child had lived a short while before it died. The doctor who examined the child said he thought that it had been dead for at least a fortnight and that death was due to inattention at birth.

Lunchbox Charcoal Grill
The Lunchbox Grill is the most versatile small grill on the market. You get a lot of the features of a much larger grill, with the convenience of a portable unit. No other small grill converts from indirect heat rotisserie to direct heat traditional grilling with just the flip of a lever. We've put a lot of thought into this unit, along with lots and lots of BBQ "field trials" (which we're ALWAYS happy to do) and refined it's features until we came up with a truly great grill. We're proud to continue to manufacture The Lunchbox Grill in the U.S.A., and it's built for the long run. No need to keep replacing cheaper units every few years- buy this and it's "one and done"!

One of the things I love most about Cape Town are the mountains. Everywhere you stand you seem to be surrounded by them. If there is one thing you do while in Cape Town, hiking should definitely be it. Whether you are a novice or seasoned hiker, there are so many trails and peaks to choose from that there really is something for everyone.
"There are no shortcuts to anywhere worth going"Beverly Sills
Table Mountain
Table Mountain is one of the most famous and most popular mountain hikes in the world and it is not hard to understand why. This prominent South African landmark looks out across the city of Cape Town with views that stretch for miles and miles. There is now a cable car that can also take you to the top of Table Mountain as well, but unless you have a broken leg I would say there is no reason why you should. The views are just as good when you hike up, it will take you less time to hike than it will to stand in that queue, and you will save money, burn calories and feel great for the walk!
Fun Fact: Table Mountain is the only natural site in the world to have a constellation of stars named after it – Mensa, which means "The Table"
How high? 1086 metres above sea level
Which Route? There are several different routes to take to the top but one of the best is the Platteklip Gorge route. This was the route taken by Antonio de Saldanha on the first ever recorded ascent of the mountain in 1503! This route is challenging enough to give you a serious sense of achievement at the top, but manageable enough for all different fitness levels. It is a steep and unrelenting incline but you make fast progress and have a stunning view through the crack of the gorge the whole way up.
How long?* I had read in several places that the route can take an average of 2 hours up and 2 hours down (4 hours total). But we managed to make it up in 1 hour 15 minutes and down in about the same, so it really doesn't take as long as you might think. Other routes (such as the Nursery Ravine, Skeleton Gorge and the Twelve Apostles Pipe Track) can take up to 4/5 hours one way though because of the shallower incline.
Lion's Head
The hike up Lion's Head was our favourite hike during our stay in Cape Town. It is a short enough hike to do before brunch and its 360 degree views over the city and the Atlantic Seaboard are something to write home about! The hike to the top is particularly popular during a full moon as you can get a great view of the sunset and the moon rising before hiking down by flashlight, or moonlight if you are confident enough with the trail.
How High? 669 metres above sea level
Which Route? There is a recommended route which is clearly sign posted from Signal Hill Road. The route is reasonably easy going for the majority of the hike along a gravel road and a rocky single track. The hike ends with a steep rocky section with chains and ladders to pull yourself up some of the boulders. The diversity of the track leading to the summit makes for a fun and interesting hike.
How Long?* This walk will take about 1 hour up and 1 hour down. If you have some extra time, why not take a slight detour from the recommended route to visit Wally's Cave (rather than ascending the first ladder on the trail, take the well-trodden path to the left and follow it round).
Fun Fact: There are written records that lions and leopards were found roaming the mountain in the 16-1700s!
Silvermine Nature Reserve
Silvermine is a 20 minute drive out of the city centre and is totally worth the journey. Unlike the previous 2 hikes, which are free, you will have to pay to enter Silvermine National Park (R50 per adult) but there is so much to do that you will easily spend a whole day here (which actually makes it quite a cheap day out!). There's hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, great picnic spots and a stunning mineral water reservoir for cooling off after all the activity.
How High? 927 metres above sea level (but you will only hike half of this as your starting elevation is around 450 metres)
Which Route? In my opinion, there is really only one great hiking route to take from Silvermine and that is to Elephant's Eye Cave. The trail start is clearly signed from the car park and is a very gentle walk with only a short steep incline at the very end. The cave itself is so much bigger than you expect and you will want to spend a good 20 minutes admiring the moss covered walls on the inside as much as the view on the outside, and fuelling up on some peanut butter sandwiches.
How Long?* Again, this is a short and relatively easy route and should take about 1 hour to the cave and 1 hour back.
Travel Tip: If you are going to hike during the Summer months in particular, make sure you are up and ready to start your hike as early as possible after sunrise (5:30am). The later you leave it, the busier the tracks are going to get (which can be terribly frustrating) and the hotter it is going to get! It is far easier to make it to the top in a breezy 18degC temperature at 6am rather than leave it till 9am when it will be up to 23degC!
And so many more…
These are just some of my favourite hikes from our trip to Cape Town this year, but there are so many more that you can choose from: Devil's Peak, Cape Point, Chapman's Peak, Muizenberg Mountain, Newlands Forest and so on. Do some research and decide for yourself which hikes you will enjoy and cram in as many as you possibly can!
What will you need?
Plenty of water – you want to carry approximately 1 litre of water per hour of hiking per person.
Some sandwiches or energy bars to give you a boost when needed.
A flashlight or head torch if there is a chance that you will be hiking in the dark.
Plasters (just in case).
Some sturdy footwear and practical clothing – you are going to get hot and sweaty in the summer and will be shivering in the winter so give some thought to what you are going to wear.
A hat and/or sun cream – don't be fooled, the morning sun is intense in summer and you will get burnt! Make sure you have lathered up on sun cream and/or take a hat to protect your face at the least.
A clear day with as little wind as possible. If the weather begins to change as you are hiking, it is best to turn around and make your way back down.
Some hiking buddies. It is best not to hike alone, especially not out of season when the paths are quiet, so make sure you have 1 or more hiking buddies with you for company, someone to share the views with, and to look out for each other.
A fully charged mobile phone and a note of any useful emergency contacts (they will be printed on the sign boards at the start of the hiking trails). Cape Town Emergency Services: 021 480 7700.
Respect for the mountain and your fellow hikers.
The best camera you've got because you are going to want it when you reach the top!
Make sure you add 15-20 minutes onto the hike times if, like me, you enjoy pulling your camera out every 10 metres to take another awesome photo!

Well, I used to work in a volunteer emergency response team back up in Canada. I would love to start working again in the volunteer sector down here in the states now...
but I have encountered a few issues.
For one, a lot of volunteer services wont accept non American citizens. which is very silly. I have a genuine desire to help and assist. I don't really think nationality has anything to do with it.
My good friend, Dasinia (his toons name), has recently given up on WoW. Previously he was a very hardcore raider, he was running BT, and Hyjal when he quit. I figured I would ask him a few questions to catch a glimpse of what the raiding life, really has to offer.
Roadwolf: How long have you been playing WoW?
Dasinia: I have been playing since mid 2005
Roadwolf: What motivated you to raid in the first place?
Leadership and Administration are the most important factors of any Guild. However they are also very difficult hurtles to deal with as a Guild Master. As a guild grows and matures, so must the leadership. And this in turn may lead to several problems along the way. We will examine a few of these potential problems in this article.

Sportsbooks Release Odds for Making NFL PlayoffsJuly 17, 2017
The 2017 NFL regular season will begin in less than two months, with the opening kickoff on September 7. While summer is in full swing, sports bettors are longing for the start of the NFL football season.
Odds makers continue to churn out a load of different betting odds as the season approaches from what team will win each division to what teams will play in the Super Bowl next February.
The most recently released set of odds by sportsbooks is the odds for each of the NFL teams to make the postseason.
At the top of the list, to no one's surprise unless you know nothing about football, are the New England Patriots with odds of -3000 to reach the postseason.
New England has played in the NFL postseason eight straight seasons and in 13 of the past 14. The defending Super Bowl champions have added several players to their roster during this past offseason.
There is no lock in any professional sports but the Patriots are as close to being a lock that exists in sports betting across in any sport.
The only other team capable of possibility reaching the playoffs in the AFC East with New England is Miami. The Patriots also have two strong backups at quarterback in case Tom Brady was to go down injured.
Following the Patriots on the list with the next shortest odds are the Seattle Seahawks with odds of -600. Seattle has appeared in five straight postseasons and plays in a weakened division with teams such as the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers.
The biggest competition for the Seahawks will be the Arizona Cardinals, who were a disappointment last season but should return to form this season. However, quarterback Carson Palmer is not getting any younger and there have been signs of decline in his game.
When it comes to long shots making the NFL playoffs the two top teams in that category are the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets both at +2000 to make the postseason. Both teams will have very little success this season and offer little value even with such high odds.
One team offering good value at +350 is the aforementioned Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are holders of the longest odds of any team that made the playoffs last season and look to improve on last season with signal caller Ryan Tannehill returning from an injury.

Tasting Notes
"Sweet anise aroma hits you as you smell this vodka. The vodka is soft and watery on your palate. Again, you get the anise and it's moderately sweet. The finish is dry and slightly bitter. Overall the vodka is plush and sweet -- a bit too sweet for a vodka, but it isn't unpleasant."

Legislative Update October 2011
Now is not the Time to Cut Funding for Amtrak and High-Speed Rail!
The recent Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development legislation, passed out of the Appropriations Committee on September 8, included only half ($1.1 billion) of Amtrak's FY 2012 request for $2.222 billion. It cuts Amtrak's operating funds by 60 percent and capital funds by $25 million. The bill would also prohibit funding to be used on state-sponsored, short-distance routes, halting service for half of Amtrak's riders and immediately eliminating 1500 Amtrak employees.
The Senate version of the bill, which has also passed out of Committee, would cut operating funds by three percent but increase capital spending by two percent. It does not contain the elimination of the state-sponsored routes.
Full funding for Amtrak is essential in order for the railroad to fulfill its obligations and provide the best and safest service possible to the 900,000 commuters it serves daily.
High Speed Rail
The same House Appropriations bill that would cut funding in half for Amtrak, also proposes to cut all funding for high speed rail in the budget, and the Senate version appropriates only $100 million for high-speed intercity passenger rail. Please let your congressional leaders know that you support increased funding for high speed rail in order to provide an additional and much-needed form of transportation which would reduce congestion on our roadways and create an estimated 20,000 jobs per $1 billion spent on high speed rail projects.
Continuing Resolution Continues Federal Funding Through November 18
On October 5, President Obama signed a continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government running through November 18, 2011. The CR provides $1.042 trillion for government agencies between October 1 and November 18. It also provides $2.65 billion in FY 2012 for disaster relief projects around the country.
Meanwhile, the House and Senate continue to work on FY 2012 funding appropriations legislation before the CR ends. As of October 5, the House had passed six appropriations bills and the Senate just one. With less than seven weeks to pass twelve separate appropriations bills and send them to the President, there will likely be an omnibus appropriations bill that will include some, or maybe all twelve, bills. (An omnibus bill is a single piece of legislation that is accepted in a single vote and rolls the spending bills of all departments into a single bill.)
Strike Averted – At Least for Now!
The BLET, along with 10 other rail labor unions representing 75% of all rail workers at major U.S. railroads, have been in an ongoing dispute with the National Carriers' Conference Committee over wages and health care benefits since early 2009 when negotiations began for a new collective bargaining agreement. The main sticking point has been the issue of health care benefits for rail workers and their families. The carriers want to shift health care costs to those members and their families who get sick – in other words, those who can least afford it. The United Transportation Union reached a tentative agreement with the carriers in June; however the other rail unions have rejected the deal's wage and health care terms. The UTU agreement includes a 17 percent wage increase; however it also includes huge concessions in health care benefits for its members. Under the UTU agreement, their members will pay a larger share of each health care service and includes new programs that will lower the quality of health care by transferring selection of prescription drugs from one's doctor to an insurance company. The carriers have called the UTU deal a "pattern agreement" that the other crafts must accept; however, the BLET and the other rail unions find this unacceptable given the record profits that the railroads have enjoyed in recent years.
The National Mediation Board had overseen the rail negotiations for over a year and, on September 6, 2011, the Board released the BLET and the other unions from mediation, thereby triggering a 30-day cooling off period, which expired on October 7, 2011. According to the Railway Labor Act, self-help would be available to the parties (i.e., the unions could strike or one or more of the carriers could order a lockout, or a unilateral promulgation of carrier Section 6 notices could occur) if President Obama failed to issue a Presidential Emergency Board (PEB).
During the 30-day cooling off period, the BLET activated its mobilization network and conducted a strike authorization vote on those railroads where the dispute exists and the BLET has representation rights for their craft. After the votes were counted on October 3, BLET National President Pierce announced that an overwhelming 97 percent majority of BLET members voted to authorize the strike. Locomotive engineers were prepared to walk off the job at 12:01 a.m. EST on October 7 if President Obama did not appoint a PEB.
On the afternoon of October 6, 2011, President Obama announced that Presidential Emergency Board (PEB) No. 2431 had been established to investigate and propose a solution for settlement between the NCCC and the six rail unions remaining (those who comprise the Rail Labor Bargaining Coalition2) in the dispute. The five-member PEB now has 30 days to issue their recommendations to President Obama. At the conclusion of that 30-day period, another mandatory 30-day cooling off period will begin while the two sides consider the PEB recommendations and seek a voluntary settlement based on those recommendations. If no settlement can be reached during that cooling off period, which ends at midnight on December 5, the parties are again free to engage in self-help. At that point, Congress can step in and impose a third-party settlement on the involved carriers and their unions.
- The members of PEB No. 243 are: Ira F. Jaffe, Chair; Roberta Golick; Joshua Javits; Gil Vernon; and Arnold Zack.
- The RLBC is comprised of: Teamsters Rail Conference members, the BLET and the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees Division; the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen; the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers; the National Conference of Firemen and Oilers of the Service Employees International Union; and the Sheet Metal Workers International Association.
More Attacks on Labor
Republicans in both the Senate and the House have been lobbying to prevent the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) from carrying out its mission to protect workers against employers' unfair labor practices and to strip the agency of its legal power and responsibility to protect union workers from employers' retaliation. The NLRB has been under attack by business groups and congressional Republicans for allegedly favoring labor groups in series of high-profile cases and rulings.
Thanks to the efforts of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and other unions, an amendment recently introduced by Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) to bar the NLRB from pursuing a case against Boeing was defeated. Boeing was charged with retaliating against union employees by moving the work and some 1,000 jobs from Washington State to a new non-union production line in South Carolina. The bill passed in the House, but failed to get out of a Senate Appropriations Committee mark-up on a 15-15 tie vote. Although the amendment was focused on Boeing, it would have prevented the NLRB from pursuing any cases involving companies that move work from a union to a non-union plant to retaliate for lawful union activity. The NLRB officials contend that Boeing officials were illegally punishing union workers for past strikes by moving the work. CWA Legislative Director Shane Larson stated that the amendment "would set back decades of labor law and was an attack on all working people, their rights, and their jobs."
On October 5, Representative John Kline (R-MN), Chairman of the House Education and Workforce Committee, introduced legislation to overturn a new NLRB rule that speeds up the union election process. Kline contends that the NLRB's action would weaken the economic recovery and that he and his Republican colleagues "are determined to hold the NLRB accountable for its job-destroying agenda." Citing the "Occupying Wall Street" protests taking place nationwide, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka stated that the GOP was going too far and that anyone who supports Kline's anti-worker bill should listen to the people on Wall Street rather than the CEOs or hedge fund managers. "What they'll hear," Trumka stated, "is a call for action to create good jobs and end the inequalities caused by corporate greed and economic injustice." Kline's bill will be heard in the Education and Workforce Committee next week and will most likely be fast-tracked to the House floor by GOP leadership, but it is unlikely to be taken up by the Democratic-controlled Senate.
