I am on track to read all of Charlotte Mason’s volumes before my eldest starts school. To stay on track, that means reading volumes 3 and 4 this summer, starting with School Education. The first four chapters particularly are phenomenal, covering docility, authority, the rights of children as persons, and masterly inactivity. Miss Mason’s discussion on how authority behaves has been particularly paradigm shifting for me (I’ve even put up a post about the second chapter recently). Who knew one had so much to learn from Queen Elizabeth I?
One that is recommended by lots of Charlotte Mason moms. I read this last summer, and I know I did not take in enough of it. One chapter in to rereading it and Pieper has already shown me how limiting it is for man to see work as his chief end. I struggle with this personally – the idea is thick in our culture. There is a pervasive lie that says that we have to be productive (materially) in order to have worth and significance. It is hard to make choices to prioritize growing ourselves as persons when the world is screaming at you to make money and spend it.
One thing I love about the kids getting just a touch older is launching into chapter books. I pulled down my old copy of Mr. Popper’s Penguins and we are having a lot of fun reading it. What an idea to have a penguin arrive direct from the South Pole to live as a family pet (what child wouldn’t want an exotic animal appear on their doorstep?). The Atwaters’ descriptions of how Captain Cook walks, plays, and explores the house really brings this story to life. And I have to say – the boys really love my penguin sounds!
I took the MOOC Learning how to Learn on Coursera last spring, and since then I’ve been wanting to read the corresponding book. I think I liked the MOOC just a touch more than the book (they both cover nearly the same content), simply because Barbara Oakley made such good use of the medium. They are each an excellent and, importantly, practical resource for figuring out how your brain takes in and stores new information. If I had read this in high school, or at least before I went to university, it would have completely transformed my experience – and I’d probably remember a lot more math now!
One of those books that gives you a stab of conviction on every page. I’ve known for a while that I don’t have a particularly healthy relationship with my phone. Even without social media available on it, I very quickly go from checking the time, to checking my email, to reading an article, to ignoring all the work I have to do around the house and all the better ways I could be spending my time. It’s thoroughly researched, Christ-centered, and well-written. As a result, I’ve bought a watch so I can check the time and not get sucked in!
I had a feeling that my four year old would enjoy Robin Hood. There were a few recommended, and the Howard Pyle option is meant to be wonderful, but it’s an Ambleside Online book and seems a touch too advanced for my young man. I saw a suggestion for Enid Blyton’s version. I’m on the fence about Enid Blyton. I think that some of her work is a bit twaddley. Her Robin Hood, however, is really well written, and is perfect for a pre-school age child. It has just enough of the old English style to give the right tone to the book, without making it unintelligible to little ones. On a related note, my boys are now stealing my hair ties in order to shoot arrows.
This book showed up in a list from The Atlantic called ‘Five Books to Make you Less Stupid about the Civil War‘. I took US History in high school, but I’m certainly not smart about the Civil War. In fact, I think there is a good chance that I was actually taught some false history around the Civil War. Particularly in light of the political climate in the US, I feel the need to rectify this part of my education. The book is a bit thick, and I haven’t quite been in the right mood to start it yet, but I’m looking forward to learning more about this part of my country’s history (and the review on The Atlantic says it’s ‘brisk in pace’ so…). I know the moment will come to pick it up.
We’ve started this as a family, but we somehow ended up on hiatus from it. I read this one as a child, and I loved the idea of a chicken laying and hatching a dinosaur egg. I don’t remember the ending anymore, so it will be a surprise for me, too!

Crown lifting in Rainhill is carried out to increase the clearance between the ground level and the lower branches either to allow access below the tree, to clear sight lines, improve views or allow light to penetrate to the ground. This can be a simple yet very effective solution.
Tree felling in Rainhill can be the most difficult of operations and sometimes a tree will have to be dismantled piece by piece, but we do it using ropes, pulleys and braking devices to ensure we have as much control as possible and the risk is reduced to a minimum. We always encourage re-planting of trees.
A very traditional form of tree surgery in Rainhill & throughout the UK often seen in large cities where the street trees are well maintained on a regular basis. It involves the removal of the majority of the crown of the tree to form a good structure for new growth. Pollarding is only suitable for certain species of trees.
Pollarding has evolved from the ancient practice of Coppicing where by trees were routinely cut down to ground level so that they would re-shoot, this was and still is a form of farming trees and is still widely practiced in Rainhill and all over the U.K.
We aim to make the whole process of tree surgery in Rainhill as transparent, professional and as easy as possible whilst achieving results that are desirable to our clients and beneficial to their trees. Why not contact us for friendly, honest advice and a free no obligation quotation for your tree services.

Heading into the Budget, Chancellor Hammond was under pressure to deliver some better news on the economy. Unfortunately, the economic backdrop provided the Chancellor little wriggle room, or ‘headroom’ to use the economic word de jour, though he still managed to strike an optimistic tone.
There were no changes to the Personal Allowance, Higher Rate Threshold or Dividend Allowance. The Personal Allowance will continue to rise in line with expectations, to £11,850 in the 2018-19 tax year. The Higher Rate Threshold will rise to £46,350, while the Dividend Allowance - which we had been concerned about - has remained at £2,000.
The plan for Corporation Tax reductions remained the same. However, there was one change to note for companies that are planning to sell assets – though this won’t affect the typical IPSE member. The Corporate Indexation Allowance available to companies which sell assets for a capital gain will be frozen from 1 January 2018. Inflation accruing after this date will not be available for companies when calculating the value of the capital gain.
So, what is the economic backdrop informing the decisions of the Chancellor? The three main issues the Chancellor must grapple with are economic growth, productivity and the public finances.
On economic growth, the OBR delivered bad news for the Chancellor. Economic growth was downgraded and is now expected to average 1.4 per cent-per-year over the next five years. The next two years will see the largest fall in economic growth due to Brexit-related uncertainty and productivity problems – a downgrading that will cost the Treasury £40 billion over five years.
One of the Chancellor's largest issues is flat productivity growth. It had been expected that productivity would have recovered far more than it has, and the Chancellor was forced to recognise this. Low productivity is causing real-term wage cuts, lower growth and more public spending. Productivity growth has fallen due to a decline in business investment, and this investment isn’t expected to recover until 2021-22. This will lead to lower tax receipts for the Treasury and is contributing to the downgraded growth forecast.
And finally, the shape of the public finances need to be considered. The public finances have performed better than expected – which will be music to the Chancellor’s ears. Borrowing in the first half of 2017-18 is lower than 2016-17, and is expected to fall further. The deficit is expected to reach £49.9 billion for the full year. By 2022-23 it is expected to have fallen from 2.3 per cent of GDP, to 1.1 per cent.
Whilst improvements in public finances are welcome, we must remain cautious. The downgrading of economic growth is expected to cost £40 billion over five years. The Brexit Divorce Bill may amount to another £40 billion. Measures introduced in the Budget will further cut into the fiscal headroom that Hammond left himself, so, going forward, he must be careful sticking to his deficit reduction plan.
Overall, the downgrading of growth and productivity is a major problem for the Chancellor. His fiscal headroom has been halved, so further reductions in forecasts may mean he misses his own fiscal targets. But for the time being at least, he’s resisted tampering with the government commitments on the Personal Allowance, the Higher Rate Threshold, Dividend Allowance and Corporation Tax.

NEW LONDON, Conn.--Senior Tina Balzotti (Duxbury, Mass.) exploded with six goals, reaching another career milestone by netting her 100th collegiate marker in leading the Connecticut College women's lacrosse team to its second straight win, a 17-8 triumph over Western Connecticut State University Thursday night in the Whaling City.
The Camels improved their record to 3-10 while the Colonials fell to 6-8.
Senior Lacey Hale (Winchester, Mass.), Jamie Navoni (Natick, Mass.) and Kirby Heffrin (Marblehead, Mass.) scored two goals each. Anna Jorgensen (Ridgewood, N.J.) and Hannah Donegan (Great Falls, Va.) both sandwiched goals around a pair of assists in three point nights for the hosts. Erin Martin (Scituate, Mass.) and Navoni had four ground balls each in the triumph.
Meg Raskin (Westwood, Mass.) made six saves in the opening half. Megan Mullin (Sudbury, Mass.) Stopped four shots in the second stanza.
Western Connecticut State University junior midfielder Olivia Kosilla (Ellington, Conn.) had five goals and three assists in the loss. Rookie attack Brooke Baldelli (New Fairfield, Conn.) scored two goals and assisted on three others to finish with five points in the loss.
Senior Missy O'Donnell (Bridgeport, Conn.) made nine saves in the setback.
Loesch beat the buzzer with a goal just .8 seconds left in the opening half to vault the Camels out to an 8-4 lead at the break. Kosilla got one back for the Colonials 1:09 into the second half to make it an 8-5 game. But Balzotti scored on the ensuing possession to push the lead back to 9-5. Then with 24:19 to play, Donegan assisted Balzotti on her fourth goal of the night that put her in the century club, catapulting the Camels out to a 10-5 advantage. Connecticut College continued to pull away en route to the 17-8 win.

As a hygienist, who owns a dental business that has just celebrated 10 years on Brighton High Street, I revisit my original vision of having 4 hygiene chairs alongside a growing Dental business. I know that having a driven, passionate, committed, thriving, hygiene team is the core that influences the overall success of the practice as it underpins our values of prevention and patient care.
Not only are hygiene services important to overall patient health, they are equally important to the growth of the practice both financially and in patient numbers. New patient recommendations from our existing client base are the best form of marketing and a real accolade to the delivery of care. Subsequently more motivated and empowered hygiene patients are then referred in house to our dentists, looking for the next step to health and beauty (let’s not forget how important the patients wants are alongside what they clinically need).
Our recall systems need to be optimised and we need to stay ahead of the game so that the retention of our clients is as important as the new clients that walk through the door. The Patient Experience is reliant of our skills, knowledge, staff, coominication, clinic, the tools we use and the atmosphere. We need to move with the times on how we interact with the patients through digital and mobile media to make booking and attending appointments easier and more fluid.
As clinicians we have all seen a real sea of change in our knowledge, evidence and understanding in the area of overall health, especially in relation to diabetes, heart disease and systemic health. By 2020 it is predicated that 1 in 4 of the population will be over 65. How many of the dental profession are adapting and making changes in the delivery of care so that the health of our aging patients improves?
We need to provide care ‘From the cradle to the grave’ so what of our children? The main reason a child under 5 has a general anaesthetic is for tooth extraction due to caries, a totally preventable disease. We need to take a pro active approach and educate our children early, not wait for the schools to teach them to brush when they are 8. Bad habits have been learned well before then and many teeth lost. A visit to the dental clinic should become an ongoing journey based on prevention with minimal intervention so it can become a pain free enjoyable experience throughout life, our blue sky dream for oral health care.
Patient’s awareness is increasingly driven by media, advertising by healthcare companies like Philips, Colgate, Oral B on television, in magazines, newspapers and social media. Google search engine provides a library of knowledge and some misinformation which means our patients are fuelled with more knowledge about what is available and what they want. As a result of advertising, we must manage our patient’s expectations to ensure that they are not expecting miracles, especially if they do not take ownership of their problem themselves.
But we are still in the “If only they knew what we knew, saw what we saw” mind frame. The amount of times I say to my clients “if only we had met 20-30 years ago”, with the knowledge and the tools we have as clinicians today we could have a very different outcome.
The days of plaque being called plaque are long gone. People are totally unaware, blind to this slimy substance on their teeth, Biofilm, a highly organised community of microbes with its own delivery, waste disposal, communication and defence systems. Explaining to patients that this forms on any hard surface where there are fluids with nutrients so our mouth is a great habitat., I tell them to think of the slime on the inside of a vase, around your bath taps, explaining this is biofilm. The very nature of what it is means that in can be very destructive and in some cases life threatening, the research is still in its infancy, but the evidence continues to grow.
On July 21st 1976 the American Legion had its annual 3 day conference in Philadelphia, more than 2,000 Legionnaires attended the conference, over the course of the week following the convention over 130 people, between the ages of 39 and 82 who attended the convention were hospitalised and 25 died. The Centre for Disease control finally isolated the bacterium, which was later named Legionella Pneumophila, and had been traced back to the hotel air conditioning systems.
This is why we have to manage water supplies, air conditioning units and hot tubs. Biofilms, the environmental playground of Legionella pnuemophila, are found in your mouth, no where else in your body. These bacterium communicate with each other, known as “quorum sensing“, and therefore become resistant to antibiotics. Consequently mechanical cleaning and removal of biofilm at home and with your hygienist remains key to the health of the mouth.
Can we communicate that in a better way to improve oral health? The health of the mouth is often seen as a separate issue from that of our general health but by optimising dental health we can make significant impact on our well being. If our patients could see Biofilm and really understand what it was, what it did, they would want to do something about it.
Having moderate gum disease is like having an ulcer the size of a 50 pence piece constantly exposed, imagine that somewhere else on your body? If we talk about the blood supply around the mouth and how the bacteria from the biofilm can get into the bloodstream it becomes easier to visualise and understand.
In the UK 47% of our adult population have moderate to severe gum disease, nearly 30 million people unaware of this ulcer as the gateway into their bodies. If they were aware would they ignore it or seek out help?
From a business point of view, and more specifically the business of hygiene, that is a sizable opportunity for the growth of the practice and the revenue. Added to the fact that there has been limited access to dental health care professionals like hygienists which has been fairly restricted until Direct Access came into effect May 2013, and even then it works out on average 1 DCP for every 3,800 patients with disease, so there is plenty of work out there, much of it undiagnosed, many still not putting their foot through the door due to fear of cost, fear of pain or fear of being told off.
When I opened Dental Health Spa in 2007 I wanted to market something different to the Brighton consumer that other dental practices were not offering to their hygiene patients, so I invested in 2 air polishing units. It was not new technology, it had been around for 30 years, so about all of my clinical life. In fact way back in 1999 I had one in my practice where I had a nurse all the time but I knew nothing about it other than it tasted foul and it was a nightmare to maintain (or so I had heard). No one had shown me how to use it, I had never been taught anything about it during my training at dental school, my boss did not tell me, or show me why I had one. Yet it’s the same unit that I have used to build my practice at the start and I found a USP that no one else was marketing. I took to the radio to advertise it as new and different.
Like everything, technology evolves, from twin tubs to automatics washing machines, manual toothbrushes to the first electric, to the all singing oscillating, pulsating and sonic technology we have today. Things improve because research shows us where we want/need more as clinicians for health, from a consumer /customer view it’s about use, comfort, aesthetics, health and feel.
Move forward 30 years with EMS and look at how the powders have evolved, enhancing comfort, and efficacy, ease of use and more importantly removal of biofilm. After a visit to Euro Perio in Vienna 2012 I sat listening to the lectures on Erythritol, for management of perio mucositis and peri implantitis with the new Air Flow Master. I was sold, I came back and made the investment immediately, with additional training through the Swiss Dental Academy, it has changed my working life and my patients certainly noticed the difference. Over the last 4 years my patients show it by choosing their appointments with me and the AirFlow.
Some of my clients say that their teeth are sensitive, the sensitivity they commonly refer to is when using the ultrasonic. I am not only referring to patients who need non surgical root surface debridement, I am referring to our recall maintenance patients. So initially we thought of air polishers just for stain removal. With the newer powders, they move away from the abrasive salty larger grain of bicarbonate at 65 microns to Erythritol extra fine only 14 microns, which makes it great to use on the soft tissues, including the tongue and in the pockets, disrupting and killing biofilm and removing lighter stains. This can be used on both dentine and composites too.
4 years on its now 2018, I have just spent 3 days in Geneva at the Swiss Dental Academy and the EMS factory learning all there is to know about the new Air Flow Master and Guided Biofilm Therapy. The EMS technology, machinery and the treatment protocol, GBT brings everything together so that we will deliver on all that I have written about. The new machine uses less powder, at a higher intensity, with warmer water improving patient comfort, removal of biofilm and soft calculus and no more bicarbonate needed for stain removal as it removes heavier stain, without any damage to enamel, dentine, crowns, veneers, composite fillings, implants and soft tissues. No more hand polishing either as Erythritol will leave the tooth smooth and biofilm free. So one powder that cleans does everything, no changing of powder or chambers and the machine maintenance is easier.
Appointments become easier, it is quicker and patients love it. Now the time has really come to change, out with the old and in with the new and an expanded hygiene team as the demand continues to increase.
The Swiss Dental Academy will be running courses throughout the UK from June 2018. Hands on courses are essential to understand how in practical terms to both use and maintain the equipment. Sharing experiences with other colleagues will help you develop skills and ideas as to how to market them and up sell to your existing clients.

HARRIS COUNTY (Covering Katy News) – Harris County Democrats have won all 59 judicial races and knocked off popular, longtime County Judge Ed Emmett Tuesday night. Democrats also knocked off the Republican County Clerk and County Treasurer.
Emmett who led the county through numerous natural disasters conceded the race to Linda Hidalgo, 27, at 11 p.m.
Hidalgo is a graduate student and political novice who has never run for office. During the campaign, Emmett campaigned on his 10 years leading the county vs. Hidalgo’s lack of work experience.
Republican incumbent Precinct 4 Commissioner Jack Cagle was able to defeat Democrat Penny Shaw, but Precinct 2 Commissioner Jack Mormon lost to Democratic challenger Adrian Garcia who had 50.39% of the vote. Garcia won by just 1,771 votes.

Despite the critique we have offered in the past, Zanu PF in its recently launched manifesto, insist on claiming that its vision is for Zimbabwe to be a middle-income country (MIC) by 2030.
This is a bland and banal statement which requires qualification, quantification and supporting details for it to be meaningful. What does that vision statement even mean?
The MIC nomenclature is a World Bank analytical tool that refers to economies with a gross domestic product (GDP) per capita ranging from $1 005 to $12 235.
This is too broad a grouping. In any case our GDP per capita income is $977, hence jumping to $1 005 (if we consider minimum qualification) over 12 years is not sufficiently ambitious. This is not visionary at all.
It is instructive to note that the MICs are broken up into lower-MIC and upper-MICs.
Lower-MICs have GDP per capita ranging from $1 006 to $3 955, while upper-MICs have per GDP per capita ranging from $3 956 to $12 235.
Does Zanu PF aim for Zimbabwe to be a lower-MIC or an upper-MIC?
More importantly, what is the target GDP per capita in their vision formulation?
They must be specific and say we aim to be an MIC with a stated GDP per capita number (or range of numbers).
Even with this flawed approach to the national vision process, there is need for caution.
Under this rule, the number of years to double a GDP per capita is equal to 70 divided by the growth rate.
So, for example, if we grow by 3%, then it will take us 70/3 = 23,33 years, to double our GDP per capita.
If we grow at 5%, then it will take us 14 years. For Zimbabwe to double its GDP per capita by 2030, that is, attain a GDP per capita of at least $1 944, it needs to grow by about 6% every year for the next 12 years — which is a tall order.
China did it though, but it is not easy. In Zanu PF’s vision, what is the target growth rate for Zimbabwe for the next 12 years to 2030?
In the manifesto, there is target of attaining a growth rate of at least 6% per annum over the period 2018 to 2023. What happens beyond 2023? They do not tell us.
Let us be generous and assume that Zanu PF wants to double our GDP per capita by 2030 — which would require an average growth of 6% for 12 years.
The problem is that it has been a historical impossibility, with the exception of China.
For example, between 1970 and 2010, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries only grew by an average of 1,9%!
With Zimbabwe, for sure in the first few years, we may experience above average growth rates because of our low base, but we will eventually gravitate towards standard and traditional growth rates, which are much lower than 6%.
More significantly from my analysis of their entire Zanu PF manifesto, I don’t see where that growth of at least 6% over the period 2018 to 2030, will come from.
There is absolutely no articulated and demonstrated sources of such phenomenal growth. Nothing!
It is neither sensible nor meaningful for Zanu PF to posit that their vision is for Zimbabwe to be an MIC by 2030.
Zimbabwe needs a proper vision process and a more rigorous economic planning effort.
In its 2018 manifesto, Zanu PF gets both the vision process and vision content wrong.
A national vision has three pillars — politics, society & the economy — with over-arching issues being values and mega-impact projects.
Aaagh Professor dai maramba muchitambira ku Robotics and Mechatronics and spare us the academic masturbation that you are now spewing. Ethiopia growth rate has been double digit for the last decade and the country lifted more than 50 million people out of extreme poverty in a decade. Meles Zenawi was a visionary. I am surprised even why people think 1,5million houses cannot be built in 5 years yes they can be built Ethiopia again is doing it. I dont even want to say South Africa but Ethiopia is doing with the help of the Chinese of course. Munangagwa is not Mugabe just like Deng Xiaoping was not Mao despite long time with Mao he changed China to what it is today so ED can do it if he wants which i think he does.
Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. The trouble is the people in control of the country. Their track record speaks for them. Ukaona munhu anotaura zvekuchera zvibhorani iyezvino, iye ari president, haafaniri kubvumidzwa kuita chero sabhuku.
Too many people have been hypnotized by ZPF to the point that they completely ignore their criminal incompetence.
Lies. SA’s GDP growth rates prior to 2010 under Thabo Mbeki were driven by consumption expenditure – mainly retail/tertiary sector driven. That is why it was said to be jobless growth. It was growth that created no jobs but enriched the Capitalists. It is for that reason that the ANC govt introduced the Industrial Policy Action Plans (IPAPS); three year rolling industrialisation action programs to facilitate growth of the productive sector.

despite the critique we have offered in the past, zanu pf in its recently launched manifesto, insist on claiming that its vision is for zimbabwe to be a middle-income country (mic) by 2030.
this is a bland and banal statement which requires qualification, quantification and supporting details for it to be meaningful. what does that vision statement even mean?
the mic nomenclature is a world bank analytical tool that refers to economies with a gross domestic product (gdp) per capita ranging from $1 005 to $12 235.
this is too broad a grouping. in any case our gdp per capita income is $977, hence jumping to $1 005 (if we consider minimum qualification) over 12 years is not sufficiently ambitious. this is not visionary at all.
it is instructive to note that the mics are broken up into lower-mic and upper-mics.
lower-mics have gdp per capita ranging from $1 006 to $3 955, while upper-mics have per gdp per capita ranging from $3 956 to $12 235.
does zanu pf aim for zimbabwe to be a lower-mic or an upper-mic?
more importantly, what is the target gdp per capita in their vision formulation?
they must be specific and say we aim to be an mic with a stated gdp per capita number (or range of numbers).
even with this flawed approach to the national vision process, there is need for caution.
under this rule, the number of years to double a gdp per capita is equal to 70 divided by the growth rate.
so, for example, if we grow by 3%, then it will take us 70/3 = 23,33 years, to double our gdp per capita.
if we grow at 5%, then it will take us 14 years. for zimbabwe to double its gdp per capita by 2030, that is, attain a gdp per capita of at least $1 944, it needs to grow by about 6% every year for the next 12 years — which is a tall order.
china did it though, but it is not easy. in zanu pf’s vision, what is the target growth rate for zimbabwe for the next 12 years to 2030?
in the manifesto, there is target of attaining a growth rate of at least 6% per annum over the period 2018 to 2023. what happens beyond 2023? they do not tell us.
let us be generous and assume that zanu pf wants to double our gdp per capita by 2030 — which would require an average growth of 6% for 12 years.
the problem is that it has been a historical impossibility, with the exception of china.
for example, between 1970 and 2010, the organisation for economic co-operation and development countries only grew by an average of 1,9%!
with zimbabwe, for sure in the first few years, we may experience above average growth rates because of our low base, but we will eventually gravitate towards standard and traditional growth rates, which are much lower than 6%.

J.C. Philpot - Ears From Harvested Sheaves, or, Daily Portions - Devotional for March 30.
"My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me!" Still, if we see and feel a deficiency in these points in ourselves and others, and, comparing our hearts, lips, and lives with the word of truth, must plead guilty, shall this utterly discourage us? No. This very discouragement may prove of service to us. It is good, at times, to be discouraged; because it makes us learn that "without Christ we can do nothing," and that it is only by his grace that we can produce fruit to his glory. It is, therefore, good to see and feel our barrenness and unfruitfulness; for it is this very sight and sense of our own want of fruit that leads us in earnest desires to the Lord Jesus Christ to work in us to will and to do of his own good pleasure.

The columns of spray from this majestic falls can be seen from miles away into a gorge over one hundred meters below. Along the Zambezi River, it forms the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It was described by the Kololo tribe living in the area in the 1800’s as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ – ‘The Smoke that Thunders’. In more modern terms Victoria Falls is known as the greatest curtain of falling water in the world.
Cairo, Africa's largest city is a mecca for history, architecture and antiquities. It is also home to the river Nile, the longest river in the world. The Nile valley, is a sight to behold and home to the valley of kings, the majestic Sphinx and the temples of Luxor and Karnak.Cairo offers a rich cultural experience that spans a thousand years of history. We highly recommend a visit to the Cairo Museum.
Akwaaba! (welcome) is an expression you will hear often from the friendly people in Ghana. Ghana, truly one of Africa's hidden gems has enjoyed political stability since 2001. It is the second largest producer of cocoa in the world and one of the world's largest producers gold. While in Ghana, be sure to try the Ghanaian made Golden Tree Chocolate first, and then check out the Volta lake - the largest artificial lake in the world by surface area. Also visit the beaches in Ada, the historic slave castles in Cape Coast and Elimina and the gold mines in the Ashanti Region.
If the fact that the Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge honeymooned here doesn't do it for you, the pristine and absolutely fabulous beaches will. The Republic of Seychelles is made up of 115 islands, 41 of which are the worlds oldest mid-oceanic granite islands in the world. You can find the most stunning beaches around the cluster of islands around and on the main island of Mahe. Julien's at Anse Soleil is a must for honeymooners, and so is Praslin, the 2nd largest island which boasts some of Seychelles' most stunning beaches.
