text: Engaging the senses through multimedia, Bar Kapra the Squirrel Hunter is a parable of revenge about two feuding squirrel hunters and the protégé torn between them. Past the blue field and the melting tree, there’s a snowy mountain covered with pines where they have been working for years to rid the forest of squirrels. Bar Kapra (Chip Chuipka) hunts the squirrels, Bat Kapra (France Rolland) bags the corpses and Trout (Jennifer Roberts) disposes of them. One day an argument ensues between Bar and Bat over his methods of hunting. Their squirrelly actions draw us into their absurdist realm.

Cycling superstitions are part and parcel of the professional scene, with the most famous ones including never eating the inside of your baguette (the crust is fine); always wearing the number 13 upside down if you get it as your race number, and never shaving your legs the day of a race because you don’t want to waste valuable energy re-growing those hairs. Surely women cyclists are more rational than to believe all that, though?
To test the theory, we turned to one of cycling’s most rational competitors, time trial specialist and Women’s Tour de France winner, Doctor Emma Pooley.
Finally, we turn to Yvonne McGregor, who has the distinction of being the first ever GB woman rider to grab Olympic glory (she started the Gold rush by riding to Bronze in her final Olympics in Sydney at the age of 39).
Whatever your ‘thing’, here’s to all of us being more Yvonne.

In the sustained communal offensive against the secular character of the Indian Constitution, the term ‘secular’ is in serious danger of becoming a casualty.
This is largely because the notion of ‘secularism’, itself a modern concept which cannot be delinked from democratic principles and rights of citizenship, has often in this communal ideological onslaught been equated with a worldview that has no place for religion, or a state of being irreligious. Such a misrepresentation, essentially malicious, has encouraged a tendency to equate secularism with immorality in an attempt to render it unpalatable at the popular level.
For instance, the present Governor of Tripura who holds an important constitutional position is reported to have stated, some time back, that ‘I am not secular, I am a Hindu’. He then went on to say that the word ‘secular’ according to him means ‘bereft of religion’. Going through the text of the interview one can see that what he implied was that he does not believe in the ideals of secularism because that would not allow him to engage in the politics of religion, and the politics of religious identity.
Gandhi would have immediately pointed out the problem with such an understanding: being secular does not mean being ‘bereft of religion’ or being irreligious.At the same time being secular implies not using religion for political purposes.
Communalism involves the use of religion and religious symbols to promote hate. In many ways, Gandhi’s understanding and practice of secularism was the product of his being deeply spiritual and religious. For him, spirituality meant striving to be compassionate and a better human being, rather than using religion for political purposes.
Gandhi’s religiosity prevented him from cynically mixing politics with religion, even though he affirmed that his politics was imbued with his own personal religious ideals.
At a time when the meaning of secularism is being distorted for communal purposes we need to strengthen the legacy of secularism inherited from our national movement, the dominant trend in a struggle that was overwhelmingly secular which in turn, was a major achievement of Gandhi. This was a trend that survived the terrible communal violence which accompanied Independence and partition, though its collapse at that critical moment due to factors that are complex, is very obvious.
In the two-volume Shorter Oxford English Dictionary three lengthy columns are devoted to the various definitions of ‘secular’, ‘secularism’, etc. Almost all shades of meaning define ‘secular’ in terms of the separation of religious matters from worldly affairs: ‘secular—belonging to the world and its affairs as distinguished from the Church and religion’; ‘secularism—(i) the view that religion and religious considerations should be deliberately omitted from temporal affairs, (ii) the view that education, especially that which is publicly funded, should not promote religious belief or include religious instruction’.
Most of these meanings derive from the long struggle in early modern Europe to separate the state from the Church, and to keep religion in the private domain.
Secular nationalism in India modified this understanding creatively. Gandhi contributed in no small measure to articulating this modified understanding.
In the words of Mukul Kesavan (Secular Common Sense), ‘Indians are sometimes scolded for misunderstanding secularism. They are reminded that secular, in its original, western sense, means a commitment to public life fenced off from religion—not an equal pandering to all religions”. According to Kesavan “Indian secularism grew out of the peculiar circumstances of anti-colonial nationalism”.
Kesavan makes an important observation about the Congress understanding of the relationship between secularism and nationalism, “For the Congress being secular meant making different types of Indians equally welcome; secularism in this context was a way of being comprehensively nationalist”. He concludes with the statement that, :In economic nationalism, the Congress found a non-denominational way of being patriotic”.
Gandhi’s secularism was shaped by his eclecticism, an eclecticism that has not received the appreciation it deserves. During the crucial formative years of his early youth spent in England, and his long residence in South Africa, Gandhi was exposed to and imbibed unorthodox ideas which played an important role in his intellectual evolution.
Many of these came to him through his engagement with vegetarianism. For Gandhi vegetarianism was not a fad, nor was it part of a divisive political agenda, nor was it a dietary preference which he might seek to impose on others through intimidation. Over the years it became integral to his spiritual quest as an individual. His vegetarianism was defined in terms of abstinence and control over the senses. Through his vegetarianism Gandhiji sought to discipline himself rather than police the kitchens of others.
As Kathryn Tidrick in her very fine study of Gandhiji (Gandhi: A Political and Spiritual Life) observes, control of the palate was for him ‘part of a religious effort to transcend his material nature’.
Pyarelal added that “Whatever [he] absorbed in this extremely impressionable formative phase of his development abode with him for life”’.
One might mention that some of those associated with Esoteric Christianity in South Africa, and England, were strongly committed to vegetarianism (‘control of the palate’) and Gandhi’s contacts in these often overlapping circles prepared the ground for his engagement with Tolstoy and Ruskin, making him receptive to their powerful ideas.
In other words, Gandhi’s was a highly intellectual eclecticism, complex and broad-minded.
Today when in India narrow-minded opponents of secularism, utterly lacking in compassion and so fond of the good things of life in a vulgar material sense, trivialize him by representing him through the symbol of a pair of spectacles, they mock a great man for whose broadmindedness they have absolutely no respect.

Oribe Peralta’s story is one of riches to rags and back to riches again. From being considered one of the greatest proteges in Mexican football, he was deemed a complete failure a few years later, only to bounce back and become the hero of El Tri’s biggest achievement at the 2012 Olympics.
After making his first start in the first division in 2003 with Morelia, Peralta was transferred to Monterrey the following year and scored nine goals in 40 games, mostly coming off the bench. Aged just 20, hewas considered one of the players with the most potential in Mexican football – to such an extent that Spanish newspaper Marca dubbed him the “Mexican Ronaldo” in an article on Latin American talent.
However, the striker struggled with consistency and, little by little, as often happens in Mexican football, his coaches chose to hire foreign stars of proven quality rather than sticking with talented but raw youngsters. Peralta failed to make his mark in Monterrey and then later at Santos Laguna. In 2009 he was loaned to modest southern club Jaguares de Chiapas in what seemed the prelude to an early demise in the lower tiers of the league.
However, away from the limelight, Peralta flourished. He scored 12 goals in 35 games and, when the loan deal was finished, Santos Laguna decided to recall him.
Since then he hasn’t looked back, scoring 66 goals in 127 appearances – 41 of them in 2011-12, a period that saw him finish as the top scorer in Mexican football.
Despite this, the announcement Peralta would be one of Mexico’s “overage” players at London 2012 was greeted with scepticism. While it was true that he was one of the three players aged over 23 who had appeared for the same team during the 2011 Pan American Games – in which he was top scorer with six goals – his Olympic call-up owed everything to Manchester Utd manager Alex Ferguson’s reluctance to release Javier Hernandez.
At the start of the tournament Peralta seemed to give reason to his critics with unconvincing performances against South Korea and Gabon. However, Luis Fernando Tena, who had been his coach at Jaguares, never doubted the striker’s ability and he responded by scoring against Switzerland. That goal gave Mexico their ticket to the quarter-finals and he then provided the vital strike against Japan in the semi-finals.
The true moment of glory came in the Final against Brazil. His two goals will be forever written in the memory of Mexican football and were a microcosm of his talents: a superb strike from outside the box in thefirst minute and then a perfect header when Brazil seemed to be close to an equaliser.
From that moment, Peralta’s life changed forever. People cheered him in the streets and national coach Jose Manuel De la Torre had to change his 4-2-3-1 set-up to 4-4-2 to accommodate him next to Hernandez. When the new system proved ineffective,it was the United man, not Peralta, whohad to watch from the bench.
After the Olympics, Peralta stated that he wanted to go to Europe, but the offers Santos Laguna received were considered too low. At 28 he is at the top of his game and, if he keeps that form during the Confederations Cup in June, the big boys will surely return.

I've written before about song lyrics shown in graphic form. And it's Friday afternoon, so what the hey -- I'm going there again.
Sometimes this visual gimmick really works. See "Pinball Wizard," where the lyrics actually provide you with all the necessary data (namely, Tommy's various actions and their frequency).
Other times, the song's structure or content just doesn't lend itself to any sort of proper graph. Consequently the message conveyed feels painfully thin, and the joke stupid and weak. One example: "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina," rendered here.
I say, if you're going to attempt the visual joke, why not do it right? To do so, we must face up to certain painful facts, namely: Many songs just don't feature quantitative concepts.
Take a ride on the movie metro.
Brought to our attention by Synoptical simpatica MCL, this gorgeously rendered space map is even deeper than it looks at first glance. The number of rings around each planet depicts how many spacecraft have orbited that planet (most visited: moon), while each imperfect circle represents a capsule's precise path around the planet.
National Geographic has a Flash version here. (I kinda hate Flash. Who's with me?) If you want to see or have a static version, you can do both of those here.

Failure is a bad thing right?
We all hide from failure. We cover up our past failures. We try desperately to avoid making new failures.
But is that the correct mode of being?
Nowadays I’m looking at failure as a form of learning.
Failure can be used as a tool—a test.
If you have an idea for a product and it doesn’t work out, is that a failure?
Maybe your idea is a good one—you just implemented the wrong marketing strategy.
I know I’ve said this before—it’s just a theme that I’ve been exploring for some time now.
If you want to succeed, double your rate of failure.
I’m failing all the time now & I’m proud of it.
I take tons of crappy photos!
The more crappy photos I take—the higher my chances of getting a decent one.
I have TONS of ideas for starting a business.
Eventually—one of the darts is going to stick.
Failing means I’m trying—I’m sticking my neck out into the world—I have skin in the game.
Whether you’re an artist who’s submitting work, a creative with an idea, an entrepreneur testing out a business—failure is a good thing.
Don’t hide from it, don’t listen to the people around you who think you’re a loser, don’t be discouraged by failure!
People who fail and keep trying are the doers—the winners.
I love this, I need to develop a better mindset that is ok with failing.

The Junior Canucks currently occupy the fourth place spot in the standings with 25 points. The Huskies sit in fifth place with 24 points.
With a win, The Huskies will leap frog the Junior Canucks for fourth place.
The Huskies had two opportunities to accomplish this over the weekend, but lost both of their games, preventing the jump from occurring. However, the Huskies were struggling with injuries over the weekend, which severely limited their bench.
Hopefully the home town crowd will provide the support the Huskies need and the injury bug rids itself from Fort St. Johnâ€™s bench.
Puck drops at 8 p.m. at the North Peace Arena.

The MicroLaserPeel is an outer- to mid-epidermal laser peel that precisely removes a thin layer of skin to a selectable depth to improve skin texture, tone and luminosity. Because only a thin layer of skin is removed, healing times tend to be very rapid.
Reveal a layer of new skin with less fine lines and a smoother texture.
The Sciton MicroLaserPeel is ideal for those looking for better and more long lasting results than those produced by microdermabrasion or light chemical peels. You will notice a significant and immediate change in skin texture and tightness. Fine lines, wrinkles and discolorations should be improved. If you have acne scarring, you will usually notice progressive improvement with each treatment.
Your eyes will be protected with safety shields or glasses and your practitioner may administer a type of anesthetic. The laser energy is delivered through a computer-controlled scanner that precisely positions the beam over the treatment area. You may hear snapping sounds as the laser beam gently removes the outer layer of skin cells. The amount of discomfort varies from patient to patient and depends on the depth of treatment. Very light treatments are often tolerated with no anesthetic at all. Deeper treatments may require topical and/or local anesthetic. The procedure may take a few minutes to half an hour or more, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Your healing time will depend on factors such as treatment depth of the peel and post-treatment care. Healing time may also vary, but patients usually return to normal activities within a few days of the treatment.

Aircraft history HS-TGI c/n 25 was originally delivered to SAS as SE-DAC and made its first flight on February 25th 1960 and was ferried to Sweden on March 11th 1960. After conversion to series III standards, the plane was leased to Thai International as HS-TGI and named “Chiraprapa” on September 29th 1966.
Accident description Flight TG601 from Taipei/Taiwan to Hong Kong took of at 13:40 local time with 73 passengers, 4 stewardesses and 3 cockpit crew members. For the national airline of Thailand the Caravelle was the first jet-engined aircraft 3 cvls were already operated by Thai all leased from SAS. SAS not only leased its Caravelle but was also responsible for maintenance, repair, crew training etc. As Thai did not have enough captains for its aircraft SAS leased them together with the Caravelles. Pilot in Command on TG601 was a 43 year-old Danish pilot who had 3.700h on the Caravelle. His co-pilot was a Thai who was 7 years older than himself who had flown 1.500h on the Caravelle. The Flight Engineer was 33 years old and had only 50hours on type. The Danish pilot handled all radio communication and set the radios while the Thai pilot was the pilot flying on TG601. As the political situation between China and Taiwan was tensed China’s airspace had to be circumnavigated. The Chinese Government prohibited western planes to land at any airport within China. So TG601 was carrying fuel for 4 hours although the flight lasts only 1 hour and ~35 minutes. The weather on this day was bad. The typhoon “Anita” was located 150 miles northwest of Hong Kong. The “fasten seat belt” – signs were on during the entire flight. At 14:38 the crew contacted Hong Kong approach and was cleared to decent to flight level 70 (7.000ft). TG 601 left FL260 and started to decent to FL70. Strong thunderstorms and heavy rain was reported over Hong Kong. The Caravelle was on the 8 mile final when it was established on the localizer of runway 31 at Hong Kong Intl Airport – runway 31 is the only runway that is equipped with an ILS. Then the crew changed frequency and contacted the PAR controller (PAR = Precision-Approach-Radar) who sees every deviation from the ILS on his radar screen. The first part of the approach was well flown but 4 miles of the airport the Caravelle deviated to the right. ATC:”One and a half miles, you’re slightly right of center” at that point TG601 was passing 415ft the so called decision high. The co-pilot was concentrating on the aircraft’s attitude not on its altitude (by now the aircraft was flying 50ft below the glide slope) he made a left turn to align the plane with the centerline. ATC: “Coming back on centerline now”. Both the captain and the F/O were concentrating on the runway and were looking outside. They did not notice that the Caravelle had a decent rate of 900ft per minute (300ftpm is standard). The crew did not see the runway at that point. The controller said” One mile going left of center”. Both pilots weren’t worried at all – any deviation from the glide slope would be seen on the radar screen and the controller would inform them. Suddenly the pilot in command saw the water surface and pulled the control column to the stop. But it was too late the rear part of the Caravelle struck the sea at 15:07 at an airspeed of 130kts the outer right wing and the undercarriage were torn off. At this moment the controller said: “Well left of centerline, if you are not visual, climb immediately on your present heading”. But he did not receive a confirmation. The Caravelle had already ditched in the Hong Kong harbor. The rear part of the cabin was torn off and water came into the cabin. The purser was unable to open the left cabin door as the airframe was bent by impact. Finally he managed it together with a passenger. A self-inflatable life raft was quickly blown away by the winds but some passengers managed to get on it. The water temperature was high but some passengers got into panic and 70 seconds after the plane ditched HS-TGI was completely sunken. 24 passengers perished. The cockpit section was later recovered and survives to this day in Bangkok.

PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe’s government has failed to push Zimbabwe’s economic agenda forward and now hide behind sanctions and, for that, it must resign and hand over power to war veterans, Chris Mutsvangwa has said.
The former minister and current chairperson of the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association said this Thursday addressing hundreds of war veterans at the Harare City Sports Centre.
Mutsvangwa said it was now on record that whenever Mugabe gets the chance to speak about the country’s problems locally, regionally and internationally he always blames the “punitive” and “heinous” sanctions imposed by the Western countries as the biggest impediment to his economic policies.
He said for the last 16 years it has become rhetoric to hear that innocent Zimbabweans are suffering because Mugabe’s government is punished for repossessing their natural resources to empower black people.
“Yet the wealth and natural resources of the country are benefitting the few, who don’t even pay tax returns; evidence is there,” said Mutsvangwa.
“You can’t have a commander who is at the fore front always blaming his guns saying we can’t fight because the guns are bad. When your enemy puts you in a difficult position then you are always shouting that my enemy has brought untold suffering, it’s clear that you have surrendered,” said the war veterans’ boss.
The war veterans, who recently broke ranks with Mugabe and the ruling party, have recently been openly critical of their patron and are now increasingly calling on him to step down and save the country from the free-fall.
President Mugabe is on record saying sanctions imposed against him have worsened the plight of innocent Zimbabweans.
Mutsvangwa was fired from government and Zanu PF for criticising the leadership last year. An attempt to remove him as leader of the war veterans failed.
On Thursday, he said the former fighters were ready to work with politicians considered enemies by Zanu PF.
“We can’t have a party run on non-democratic lines,” Mutsvangwa, told hundreds of the ex-guerrilla fighters at a meeting in Harare.
“We have been voting people for the past years because they came from the political party that we were in even when you know that the person is not the right candidate,” said Victor Matemadanda, secretary-general of the war vets association said.
“We were forced by party allegiance to vote for that person. We are saying that has come to an end,” he told hundreds of the former fighters at a meeting in Harare.

When I said I needed to redesign Schatz, I meant I needed to design him. I think I've drawn him one time and who knows what happened to that picture. Schatz was originally bald, but it wasn't workin' quite the way it did for his brother, Zippopolous.
I'm still not 100% on this design. which is why I've decided to leave it a sketch for now. I can always go back and tweak it before I ink it. I think it's the eyebrows. I really don't know.
The roses on the doily are going to become gemstones, just as Peppermint's roses will become peppermint leaves. Schatz is a jewel enchanter by trade.

Social Collaboration – Be social, work smarter!
Your employees working good, but you think their work could be more accurate and coordinated? You want to know more about what they are working on, when they start and when thy finish their tasks? Then you need an enterprise social collaboration platform!
What is an enterprise social collaboration platform?
Enterprise social collaboration platforms are social networks which are used by people who share business interests and activities. It can be said that these platforms are the newest generation of the classic enterprise intranets (they are often called as social intranets) and other classic online tools which are created to make communication and collaboration easier between employees, their bosses/supervisors and clients.
A modern, well-designed enterprise collaboration software will make the communication and working process much easier and collected than a classic intranet could ever do, so it means that the pace and productivity of your company will rise.
In a collaboration system, business users can trade knowledge, store and exchange files, create and jointly modify documents, and interact with each other in real time in collaborative workspaces. In order to enable effective collaboration, however, the selected tools must be easy to use and accessible so users will engage with the system and use it on a regular basis.
Enterprise social collaboration platforms are great at making productivity, time management and focus much better as employees will see a complete list of tasks they have to execute, so you won’t have to worry that they will forget important parts of a projects.
You’ll be able to monitor their work, give them new tasks, communicate with them, ask for reports of their work and rate it. You can also give access to your clients so they’ll see exactly the processes of their orders in real time.
These are just a few benefits of using an enterprise collaboration software. If you want to get more information about these great platforms, you can read more about them on our website!

Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is a methodical process of collating and assessing information to determine the effectiveness of a social programme or intervention. This website is an M&E resource for non-profit organisations (NPOs) and public benefit organisations (PBOs). Those with little M&E experience will be able to use the step-by-step guides to plan, monitor and evaluate programmes and interventions. More experienced users can access extensive resources to improve existing M&E processes or simply learn from other practitioners and organisations.
How can you plan for effective monitoring and evaluation of your programme?
Sometimes we have to understand a concept in order to do something correctly. Other times it is helpful but not critical, because we learn through doing. This site provides basic information on terminology and concepts with a rating system to show where it is critical to understand something before implementing any tasks in the suggested steps.
Databases, tools and online software are accessible throughout the site to help you easily implement the tasks suggested for each step. The organisations supported by the DG Murray Trust (DGMT) have freely shared the tools and indicators that worked well for them. These have been collated into user-friendly indicator and tool databases for you to use.
Our partner NPOs have collaborated with the DGMT to create case studies that help to illustrate each step.
The ‘how to implement' for each step is told through simple instructions and video presentations/podcasts (where these are useful). If you have a slow internet connection or prefer text, you can choose to read the information instead.
At each step (and in general) you may ask a question. We will review your question and answer it or ask the M&E professionals supporting the site to respond. The answer will be published for the benefit of future readers. Peer organisations will also be able to add commentary drawn from previous experience - this is a great way to develop and build on existing knowledge.

monitoring and evaluation (m&e) is a methodical process of collating and assessing information to determine the effectiveness of a social programme or intervention. this website is an m&e resource for non-profit organisations (npos) and public benefit organisations (pbos). those with little m&e experience will be able to use the step-by-step guides to plan, monitor and evaluate programmes and interventions. more experienced users can access extensive resources to improve existing m&e processes or simply learn from other practitioners and organisations.

Offering fit, performance, speed, and design aesthetic, the TRUE Speed Skate provides unprecedented quality.
A STORY OF RESILIENCE, PERSEVERANCE, AND PASSION.
World Class Speed Skater, Denny Morrison, shares his comeback story to the fast-paced world of speed skating.
The TRUE Speed Skate is a culmination of decades of manufacturing and design between Scott Van Horne and Tyler Williamson Derraugh.
For over 25 years, Scott Van Horne has worked endlessly in perfecting skates and is the brain behind the TRUE Speed Skate Boot. As a former member of the Canadian National Speed Skating team, Scott holds both a Bachelor of Science degree and a Masters in Biomechanics from the University of Calgary. Scott’s thesis on the biomechanics of the skating push was published in the International Journal of Applied Biomechanics.
For over 10 years, Tyler WIlliamson Derraugh has been working alongside Scott Van Horne to perfect the TRUE Speed Skate Boot. A former Speed Skating World Championship participant and international competitor in short track, Tyler earned a silver medal at the FISU Games before switching to long track where he achieved multiple top 5 finishes on the World Cup circuit.
The classic 3K-weave matches any boot design.
Our standard cover works great with any embroidery colour.
For skaters looking to be as bold with their boots as they are on the ice.
Choose from black, white, red, blue and more. Additional details available.
Personalize your boots with custom embroidery thread colours.
TRUE Custom speed skates are proudly HANDRAFTED in CANADA.
If you have any questions regarding our product or if you’d like to arrange a moulding appointment, please contact us by clicking the button below.
Due to the high cost of custom skates, we are unable to offer a money back guaranty. If you’re unsatisfied with your custom skates, we will work with you to correct the issue. If you are still unsatisfied with your custom skates, we will design a second pair free of charge.
Should your skates sustain any breakdown or damage (outside of skater or training/competition use) VH will repair the damage within the first year, free of charge. Please note that shipping fees may be applicable.
At VH we stand behind our products and therefore will repair any issue that arises with your skates outside of the original warranty period. Please note that shipping and service fees will be applicable. Please contact us prior to shipping for a repair quote.

I have had the flu all week! The blue ones are less awful-tasting when you can’t smell, but still pretty bad. Most of these have no color, because it’s hard to color when you’re coughing and sneezing and pathetic. I’m not dead yet, though! I’m feeling better! Anyway, the whims of fate and candy have brought these seven new sketches.
I admit, I googled bad Star Trek pick-up lines and picked my favorite for Kirk. Cheeky bugger.
Kitties are the perfect way to melt anyone’s frozen heart, even Anna’s.
I still haven’t had any proper tea this week. Herbal, yes, but I miss my Earl Grey!
If you haven’t seen Galavant then I’m very sad for you. But I still super believe in Tad Cooper.
Ahaha I was so sick when I did this, but I still find it hilarious. Especially the judicious use of glitter gel pen.
Thorin + Arkenstone = OTP.
It’s up to you who’s on the other end of the comm there. Kingsman is one of those movies I adore despite the parts I hate (ugh FPS violence), and rewatching it while sick totally renewed all my crushes.
Ohana means family. And family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

Located about 14 kilometers north from Byblos and 55 kilometers from Beirut, Rachana - meaning "me, the head" in Aramaic - is known as the museum village. Entering the village, you will find sculptures, as well as other art forms, everywhere; on the road, in front of the houses, in the gardens, and on squares. Welcoming sculptors from all over the world for fifteen days every year, the International Park of Sculpture in Rachana displays over 50 sculptures.
To reach Rachana by public transport from Beirut or Byblos, take a bus from the coastal highway in the direction of Batroun and Tripoli. Ask the bus driver to drop you off at the side of the highway near Rachana (just before the checkpoint of Batroun). From there, you can either walk in eastward direction (1 hour) or take a taxi for about 10,000 LBP.
To reach Rachana by car from Beirut or Byblos, take the coastal highway to the north and turn left just before the large checkpoint in Batroun (there are signs indicating a wine route).

Staff was great. As with most 6s, they need updating, but im not as picky about motels. The one upgrade needed is the king bed. It was hard a the pillows were small and flat. Also, the shower head was 5ft 4 inches high, im 6ft 2, uncomfortably short. Everything else was fine.

But just the condition and appearance of hotel was a bit to be desired. Even more so that the truck stop that used to be connected to the hotel has now been attractively remodeled. That really makes the hotel look really run down. There were some sketchy areas of the hotel that I did not feel safe at even in the day time. Rusty stairwells. Empty pool with stagnant rain water collecting it. Signs falling down off the walls. Now with that being said I do have to say the service from the hotel staff was amazing and i have no complaints what's so ever for that. I hope that the truck stop being remodeled that maybe that will inspire the hotel to do the same. Suggestions of fresh new paint job. Renovated rooms with new beds and bedding. Sproosing up the landscaping and to either fill in three pool and Jacuzzi with cement and make that area a patio area or a grass area. And to close off the random courtyard areas that are around the hotel perimeters. And to establish a better maintenance program and employees for that department. This hotel has great potential especially that the surrounding area and businesses are on the up and up. I will still continue to stay at this hotel when I make future trips to the surrounding mountains for hiking. Again the staff was amazing and my overall experience was great.
Good hotel but it's California, so it smells like pot all over the hallways. Ron was clean and the staff was good. Rooms are huge! I travel for work a lot and these rooms are huge compared to most.
