We settled in this restaurant one the first day we reached PJ last week. We found the price quite reasonable and the serving a bit bigger than average. The food taste quite good (not sure hunger factored our taste as well as we were starving at that moment). They owns another restaurant too which is called Hokkaido Ichiba, at next door.

When choosing skin care, it is important to pick one and stick with it. Once you find one you like and are experiencing good results with, stick with it.
So, no matter which company you prefer just use it completely and stick with it. To experience results, you will need to use it twice daily.
Try sample sizes of products to see if you like the way it feels and also. Then when you find one you really like, buy the full size products and stick with it!

</s> Emergency Management Director Sandy Sanderson and the Director of the Coastal Studies Institute, Dr. Nancy White, gave a presentation on the feasibility and opportunity for Emergency Management and 911 Communications to co-locate with the new Coastal Studies Institute at their site near the Manteo Airport. Mr. Sanderson spoke about the need for a new Emergency Operations Center and how the costs would be much less if Emergency Management only needed to pay for the construction of the facility and not because CSI would have already covered those costs. He proposed a 2-story, 10,000 sq. ft. facility detached from the CSI building, constructed to 130 mph wind standards; the cost would be approximately $3 million to build. Dr. White expressed that this is “an amazing and nationally unique opportunity for CSI”. In an era of global warming and homeland security issues, CSI facility researchers could work closely with the Emergency Management group. The BOC said they will consider the proposal and discuss it at their Capital Improvement Projects meeting and add it for discussion to their November 19th meeting agenda.
The Board did not reach a decision on building height and gross floor area for structures in unzoned areas of Dare County. They referred back to the Planning Board language that would allow buildings up to 45 ft. in height and a maximum of 20,000 square feet.

Ex-Soldier in U.K. Faces Jail for Turning Gun into Police After Finding it on His Property
Here is a perfect example of how gun laws, like the type Democrats would like us to be subjected to and already in force in the U.K., prosecute the innocent, while doing nothing to control criminals. Common sense is out the window and law-abiding people are prosecuted.
Quizzing officer Garnett, who arrested Mr Clarke, he asked: “Are you aware of any notice issued by Surrey Police, or any publicity given to, telling citizens that if they find a firearm the only thing they should do is not touch it, report it by telephone, and not take it into a police station?”

en | N/A | N/A | This entry was written by my lovely friend Willow Francis. He is an authorized Heart Math trainer, and together with his equally amazing partner Catherine, they run various courses on Heart Intelligence out of their studio in Fremantle.
In June I participated in one of their six week training programs and it has given me a life-changing, 'magic tool belt' to cope with difficult, stressful situations, but also to stand still and embrace the beautiful moments of every day life. I wish someone would have taught me in kindergarten how to 'drop the thought' and listen to my heart... it's a simple and powerful process.
Stress - the metaphorical “elephant" in the healthy kitchen
Judy has asked us to speak to you all in her new section on positive
I work with my beautiful partner Catherine in our business Heart Intelligence Training - stress mastery programs to overcome challenges such as overwhelm, fatigue and irritability. We are based here in Perth.
Having worked in the health industry as a nurse for many years and been close witness to the effects of unhealthy living, I moved on from the hospital world and built a new structure and business lifestyle - a superfood and nutrition education business with Catherine. We ran this for 6 years. We were able to embrace all things ridiculously healthy - green smoothies, superfoods, superherbs, sprouts, fermented foods, raw chocolate - a balanced approach to eating, regular exercise, meditation and a healthy positive approach to life! Phew!
We had great results and were living a wonderful vibrant (though sometimes overwhelming) life.
As we dove deeper into what it is to live a healthy, vibrant, purposeful and balanced life, Catherine and I noticed amongst our fellow health practitioners, our clients, our customers, our friends, families and ourselves, that there was a metaphorical ‘elephant in the lounge room’.
What was it??? STRESS.
It is estimated that 90 percent of all health complaints to the doctor are
What does this mean for us? That the potential is there to have a huge impact on our wellbeing and that of our family, friends and communities by reversing the effects of stress!
Cortisol, the major stress hormone in the body, runs rampant when our stress is up and causes a myriad of health, emotional and mental problems.
Stress symptoms such as overwhelm, irritability, anger, worry, self-pity and frustration all increase our production of cortisol and reduce DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) - the positive life-force hormone. The impact of stress on our emotions and thoughts, distorts our view on our lives, biases the importance we place on our problems and reduces our overall feeling that we are living a quality life.
Good news. For the past 30 years, research in the field of neurocardiology has now proven that we can reverse this trend in our bodies (fairly simply and NOT with pharmaceuticals).
For years the approach to stress has been teaching relaxation. This approach can be helpful in the short term but how many of you can relax when you are running late, the traffic is backed up, you get a call that presses your buttons and then your child gets sick.
Relaxation is not the solution to stress habits. Relaxation is like putting a bandaid on the wound - we need to get to the cause of stress and change the reaction pathways at the moments they are happening.
The root cause of our challenges is not the perceived outside problem - it is how we respond to the problem and the importance we give it. We need to be able to change our response in the moment and that is not as hard as we may think.
We all talk about stress and read about stress and think that this is doing something about it, then we continue on as usual. The stress pathways and responses we have developed over our lives are what we need to change.
Our conditioned and automatic reaction to words, looks, situations in the external and internal environment. Not enough time, space, money, too much to do, rush rush, fitting it all in, leaving no room for the quality of life we all know
Stop reading for a moment and try this: Take out your mobile phone and bring up your favorite photo.
Stop just for a moment, take a few slow deep breaths and really tune in to that picture - the feelings it evokes, the memory of the time it was taken, the love and happiness.
How do you feel now? Do you feel stressed?
Surprisingly, deliberately activating deep heart feelings (such as compassion, joy, love, care and kindness) is one of the keys to transforming your stress highways into balanced relaxed byways!
After thirty years of research and peer reviewed trials, we now have the answers to properly understand stress and what we can do about it in real time NOW.
This research has shown that you can learn to stop feeding anxious feelings, create new emotional patterns and behaviors and replace the negative ones that have been draining your energy and spirit.
Like exercise to build muscle, the changes required take earnest practice, though the results are often experienced immediately and the effects are permanent as you create new neural and emotional pathways - more DHEA, less cortisol and a balanced nervous system.
Low grade anxiety that is always present beneath the surface of your day doesn’t have to be normal for you.
I believe we are here to develop qualities in ourselves and share this experience called life with those around us.
How amazing I felt when ‘stressful things’ happened and I responded in a balanced. calm and intelligent way instead of slipping into survival mode and then the long recovery afterwards.
Inside myself on a daily level I am more emotionally balanced and mentally
After attending years of different trainings courses classes and immersing myself in so many practices I can honestly say that I have now embraced the missing puzzle piece that has bought me more peace, joy, balance and confidence in every area of my life through the work Catherine and I have now integrated into both our personal lives and our business.
My passion with my loving partner Catherine is to be able to share these skills and techniques with anyone who is committed to change.
In conclusion, the next time you are about to say that snide comment to your partner or snap at your kids because you have too many things to do, take out your phone and activate the antidote...this is just the beginning of a journey into the next advancement in living a wonderful life - more emotional maturity, care and fun!

These are the first known visitor quarantine violation arrests on Hawaii Island.
In addition, police said, a 39-year-old Washington state woman was issued a citation for violating the quarantine order, also at the Grand Naniloa.
All were charged with violating the 14-day quarantine order, which is intended to stem the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus00 bail. All were told to appear at 1:30 p.m. June 9 at Hilo District Court.
According to Hawaii Police Department Capt. Reed Mahuna, the three, traveling together, arrived in Hilo on Tuesday.
Mahuna said hotel staff reported the quarantine violation. He added that the hotel ejected the three from the premises, and they had to find alternative lodging.
Mahuna told the Tribune-Herald he could not disclose when they are scheduled to leave.
In addition, On Oahu, a couple was reportedly arrested twicder.
Kimberly Kim Tien, 34, of Las Vegas and 33-year-old Edwin Htun of Sydney, Australia, were reported for allegedly breaking quarantine by management of the Lay Low Hotel in Waikiki, which told authorities the pair left their room numerous times since they arrived April 15.
The woman reportedly posted images of their violations on Instagram.
They checked out of the Lay Low on Tuesday and into the Outrigger Waikiki, and allegedly violated the quarantine order again. When told by Outrigger staff they had to follow quarantine rules, they checked out there, as well.
Law enforcement was notified and informed hotels that the couple might be looking for another hotel to check into. A manhunt was launched, and the pair was again taken into custody Wednesday.
Tien and Htun were immediately escorted to the Honolulu airport, where they caught a flight out of Hawaii.
Earlier this week on Oahu, a California couple, Ricky Swan and Joyce Walker, were arrested for violating the quarantine order and put on a flight back to San Diego. And last week on Oahu, Aarona Browning Lopez waReturn tickets for Swan, Walker and Lopez were paid for by the Visitor Aloha Society of Hawaii, which has thus far used a $25,000 grant from the Hawaii Tourism Authoritypandemic.

en | N/A | N/A | It's a common defence of animal research that it accounts for a very small number of animal lives compared to meat-eating. For instance, the organisation Speaking of Research, by way of introduction to the recently published 2019 UK statistics, puts chicken and fishes at 90% of the total human-driven mortality, cattle, sheep, and pigs at 1%, and medical research at 0% – meaning, I suppose, invisibly few. (Most of the remainder is wild-life killed by cats, another frequently cited point of comparison, though how it helps to justify animal research is unclear.) But that 91% has itself been a product of animal research. As Ruth Harrison wrote in Animal Machines, her 1964 study of industrial farming, "every batch of animals reaching market is a sequel to another experiment or part of an experiment." |

But it is considered a shame and stigma to talk about mental health or seek help for the same. Mental health has become a matter of concern present days and it affects all irrespective of age.

“It just goes to show you, as one wise man said: There is no new thing under the sun!” Phil Gnosis stepped down from the stage amidst the enthusiastic cheers of his colleagues. Noah felt again that familiar thrill of pride; his uncle might not be a leading archeologist, but he was an inspiring speaker. Phil had first tested his presentation on his nephew, practicing until he was certain that his communication was clear, vivid, and informational. Tonight, however, it was as if Noah had heard it for the first time. The man sitting beside Noah leaned to the side, whispering in Noah’s ear appreciatively, “Noah, your uncle Phil is a giant among men.” Noah grinned, noticing how the master of the ceremonies towered over his uncle. Amusing wording, but the meaning was clear. “Yes, sir. I think so too. A giant among men.” “Mark my words, give Phil a few more years and he’ll be all over National Geographic and every science and historical magazine you can find.” “I hope so. Most of those scientists call him a crackpot.” “They called others crackpots too… until they were proved wrong. Give it a little while. Someday they’ll realized that Phil is an intellectual genius. Then he’ll get the recognition he deserves. And,” the man added slyly, “it’ll be good for you as well, you being his special partner or apprentice or whatever you want to call it.” Noah laughed. “Journalist. I’m just a journalist. But when I win fame and fortune, it won’t be because I’ve been riding on my uncle’s coattails.” “Well said!” the man chuckled. “It’s that kind of attitude that takes you places, young man. Remember that.” On the stage, the MC shook Phil’s hand, their shadows appearing large and warped on the projection screen against the backdrop of the presentation’s final panel. As Phil disappeared into the aisle, the MC began the wrapping-up speech, for Phil’s presentation had been the grand finale to an evening filled with archeological speeches and slideshows. It had been a rousing event, for each speaker had put his reputation on the line in order to proclaim an unpopular idea. Most of these were brilliant men that attracted only the scorn of both the scientific and the historical fields. Noah understood a lot of the reservations—these men and women were talking about a type of science and history that would be difficult to prove—but they were willing to try. That curiosity, Noah felt, was the soul of science. And, after all, Phil had just given a brilliant example of the truths behind his claims take notice. There was only one niggling detail—neither Noah nor Phil could remember the author of the final quote of the presentation. Phil had attributed the words to Shakespeare; Noah was in favor of the poet Alexander Pope. In the end, they had decided it didn’t matter. Noah met his uncle outside the building, having struggled through the crowds into the refreshingly cool air. Phil laughed when he found his nephew waiting by a fire hydrant. Sweat plastered their hair to their foreheads and caused their clothes to cling to their bodies. Neither dared raise his arms for fear of revealing the spreading damp stain on his garments. Several colleagues congratulated Phil and spoke to him about some interesting points on his presentation. Noah listened politely and did not interfere in his uncle’s glorious moment. Ta car which pulled up to the nearby curb. The driver chuckled. Elijah Wordsworth was an old friend of Phil who had offered to provide a late evening supper for Phil and Noah after the conference. Noah reflected that, although his uncle and Elijah were physically and characteristically different, they both shared the same sense of humor. It was a testament to their friendship that they were able to overlook their differences in worldviews and find harmony in their similarities. The world would be a better place, Noah decided, if all men were like Elijah and Phil. Elijah’s home was comfortable, perhaps a little small to accommodate the six children, but full of light and cheerfulness. Mrs. Wordsworth had prepared a meal befitting a president (or so Phil commented) and in a short time, Phil and Noah were sandwiched between various children at the large table. Elijah, a devout Christian, said a simple blessing and the meal commenced. One of the young Wordsworths poked Noah in the ribs. “Hey, Dad said you’re an archeologist.” “Actually, I’m a journalist, but Phil is an archaeologist. I accompany him and help with his work.” “Does that mean that you dig up mummies? Are you under Pharoah’s curse?” Noah smothered a grin. “Not really, David. Archeology isn’t all Indiana Jones.” “What about dinosaurs? Do you dig them up?” “No, that isn’t our field of expertise.” “Then what do you do?” “We try to learn about ancient cultures from the remnants that have been preserved from their civilizations. It’s our job to figure out how people lived thousands of years ago, or even millions of years ago.” Noah remembered too late that the Wordsworths were Creationists—they didn’t believe that the earth was millions of years old.

At last, Elijah asked the inevitable question. “I couldn’t make it to the conference, but I’m very curious. Can I see this fascinating project of yours?” “I’ve been waiting for you to bring it up,” Phil said, leaping to his feet with enthusiasm. Under Phil’s direction, the Wordsworths transformed one wall of their living room into a screen for the small projector.

The New York Times (4/3/21), reporters Nick Corassaniti and Reid J. Epstein, went through the Georgia law and found 16 “provisions that hamper the right to vote for some Georgians, (principally people of color) and give it to legislators.”
For example in the new law there will be fewer drop boxes. NYT reports: “For the 2020 election, there were 94 drop boxes across the four counties that make up the core of metropolitan Atlanta: Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb and Gwinnett. The new law limits the same four counties to a total of, at most 23 drop boxes based on the latest voter registration data.” |

Marie Arana, an American author of Peruvian origin, has made the biography more as an interesting story with her skills as writer of novels. It is different from the biographies written by historians. Arana’s portrayal of the real life of Bolivar in a magical way fits in with the tradition of Magical Realism of Latin America. The colourful and eventful life of Bolivar has come out vividly in the literary style of Arana.
The book Bolivar starts with the arrival of Bolivar on the afternoon of 10 August 1819, after having spent 36 days of traversing the flooded plains of Venezuela, six days marching over the vertiginous snows of the Andes and after crossing the icy pass at 13,000 feet at Paramo de Pisba. In this risky and most arduous journey, he had lost a third of his troops to frost and starvation. Bolivar had shown extraordinary stamina to withstand hunger, sleep deprivation and suffering in the battlefield. He had traversed 75,000 miles of hard terrain during all his campaigns with his legendary capacity for endurance. He was called 'Iron Ass' for his capacity to withstand long horse rides. He had suffered defeats, betrayals and setbacks many times in his military and political ventures. There were many attempts on his life. But he managed to bounce back with strong determination, inimitable courage and strong resilience of spirit.
Bolivar had a personal magnetism around him and aroused his troops with inspiring oratory and made them follow him blindly. Besides showing courage in leading his troops in battles he was equally comfortable in ballrooms as a dancer and spirited conversationalist quoting Rousseau in French and Julius Caesar in Latin.
In the end, Bolivar died as a frustrated, betrayed, disappointed, disgruntled and sick man disowned and unwanted by the countries he had liberated. During the end of his life, he made bitter statements such as “America is ungovernable”, “He who serves a revolution ploughs the sea”.
Eventually Bolivar was forced into exile, the eternal theme in real life and the literature of Latin America whose history is filled with the exile of many presidents, poets and revolutionaries.
Many years after his unceremonious death in a remote corner of Colombia, he was reinstated by Venezuelan presidents as an icon and glorified as Liberator. Chavez immortalised Bolivar by renaming the country as Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. He tried to imitate Bolivar with his own brand of 21st century Socialism and made a mess of Venezuela pushing the country from democracy to dictatorship and from prosperity to poverty.
Besides Bolivar, the colourful character of Manuela Saenz has also come out well in the book. Manuelita deserves the title “La Libertadora del Libertador” with her audacious bravery and uncompromising commitment and unconditional love to Bolivar. She had inspired Bolivar when he was depressed and saved him from an assassination attempt. She added more colour to the life of Bolivar with her boisterous parties, wearing of military uniform and uncommon courage while standing up to her critics. When she heard about the death of Bolivar, she said: “ I loved the Liberator when he was alive. Now that he is dead, I worship him.”

en | N/A | N/A | The Royals and Cardinals rekindle their battle for Missouri on the diamond tonight, and like many Royals fans, I want to see a series win to shut them up and send them east on I-70 grumbling about the loss.
Vindictive? Petty? Human? Sure.
Hey, what’s wrong with seeing a group of fans (not ALL but the most obnoxious) get a nice serving of humble pie? When they’re the cross-state rivals, it’s even better.
Also, in my opinion, it’s warranted.
"Little squibber to the right side. Worrell races over to cover. The throw — doesn’t get him! And here comes Herzog.-Al Michaels, October 26, 1985"
About this time eleven years ago, I was in my final week ofKansas. I don’t remember the day of the week, but I knew that I was going to bed early to get enough sleep so I could get up and take a final at 7:30 a.m. Other students, apparently (and not surprisingly) decided to go out and, upon getting back to the dorms, felt it was a great time to bring up the above play.
You’ll never guess who brought it up, either.
This is a particularly annoying trait of some Cardinals fans. They’ll simultaneously mock Royals fans for the team never “being any good since 1985” yet cling to the past in the same way, always bringing up the Jorge Orta play and crying foul.
After reviewing the play, I’ll concede one thing.
Orta was out. Orta was way out. The Cardinals have every right to have been upset at the time, because Worrell beat him to the bag and had his foot in the middle of first base as he caught the throw from Jack Clark. Orta was still in stride. Cardinals fans, likewise, had every right to complain.
The statute of limitations, though, seems to be infinite in the sports world, and while they can complain about that one play, they can’t – as many will try – blame the loss of Game 6 on Don Denkinger.
And there ended the discussion.
Well, THAT discussion at least.
I know a guy who swears by everything good and great in this world, that had the Cardinals retired Orta, it would have been the last out of the World Series. I’ve gone so far as to show him the Baseball-Reference.com boxscore with play by play to disprove his thinking. He still doesn’t get it.
Again, I can’t blame anyone for being upset about the Don Denkinger call, but let’s reconstruct the inning. While that one play was a bad call, the Cardinals can’t blame anyone but themselves for the loss.
Darryl Motley was announced as a pinch-hitter for Pat Sheridan (with an eight man pitching staff, the Royals had a ton of bench players, and Sheridan/Motley was a season-long platoon). Whitey Herzog brought in Todd Worrell as soon as the right-handed hitting Motley was in the box, so Dick Howser pinch-hit Orta in Motley’s place. After fouling off two pitches, Orta hit the infamous squibber.
And that’s where the Cards fans case goes to pieces. Jack Clark, usually in the outfield, played first base in the World Series. He didn’t get a great break on Orta’s chopper and seemed to throw it late. It was enough to make the play close and obviously, close counted enough for Orta.
Maybe a regular first baseman makes a better play, a better throw and it’s not close.
Steve Balboni came up behind Orta and popped up a ball into foul territory. Clark and Darrell Porter went after it, but Clark looked down and lost the ball and it fell as a astrike instead of an out. Again, maybe a true first baseman makes the play. They gave the Royals an out.
Balboni singled to left, Orta moved to second. Onix Concepcion pinch-ran for Balboni. Jim Sundberg attempted a sacrifice bunt but Worrell threw out Orta atand pinch-hitter Hal McRae at the plate, Worrell threw a passed ball. Not Don Denkinger, Todd Worrell. Concepcion moved up to third, Sundberg went tload the bases.
"Looper into right field for a base hit. Concepcion scores. Here comes Sundberg – here’s the throw. He scores! We go to a seventh!-Al Michaels, October 26, 1985 (again)"
The Royals won Game 6, but Game 7 was still to be decided.
Remember 1986? Same thing. Everyone remembers the Mets coming from behind on the Bill Buckner play (another situation where he should have been substituted for someone better at defense in the position). Still, that was Game 6. You hardly ever see highlights of Game 7 when the Mets won the Series.
The Royals won 11-0 in Game 7 and claimed their sole World Series crown.
To a Cardinals fan, though, all they’ll mention is Denkinger.
It’s why I take joy when the Royals beat them.
Fun story: In 2007, I went to the June 14 game and, as you’d expect, the Cardinals fans were out in full force. I can’t disparage their passion because they travel as well as any other teams’ fans, but they didn’t leave a very good impression on me.
Thankfully, the Royals won. 17-8. It started out with the Cardinals taking a quick 1-0 lead that the Royals matched in the bottom of the first. In the second, Chris Duncan hit a three run homer and the chatter started up. One fan, near my age and a row behind me, was proclaiming how St. Louis was so much better because the 10 dollar seats we were in would cost $50 at Busch. Why that’s a statement of quality fandom, I don’t know.
When Duncan homered, he was insufferable, yapping about how they were going to do that all night.
The Royals responded by.
Then in the fourth inning, they scored six more runs. I made sure that when I turned to the guy beside me (a Royals fan) and said “if we keep batting around like this, I’m gonna have to get another scorecard” it was loud enough for Mr. Cardinal to hear.
In the seventh inning a female Cardinals fan, without provocation, dumped a beer onto a female Royals fan in the next section.
To be fair, those aren’t representative of all Cardinals fans, but it’s kind of like getting a bad sunflower seed. The bad taste doesn’t go away. But as our own Ethan Evans can attest, some of them just love baseball.
Over the weekend, spirits will be high and both fanbases will be on edge. I’m hoping the Royals can keep the Cards quiet every time out. |

en | N/A | N/A | And the Specialized hype machine rolls on…
spesh just became my least favorite bike brand !!
TWR just call me……
I think this is the end of Gwin’s winning run, maybe not straight away, but Spesh won’t offer the same level of support that TWR/Whitely have. He’ll win for a while, get hurt and then Spesh will hang him out to dry.
So it seems Gwin may not have had a proper contract after all… this could get messy.
I agree on that. Martin Whiteley should know better. I think Gwinn’s attitude towards his profession is more professional as TWR’s is in this case.
Sounds like Martin is just covering his butt. He went out and signed other contracts on the basis that Aaron had signed on for another three years when in reality all he had was a letter of intent which is NOT legally binding as any attorney will tell you.
Balls to professionalism, lets have an out in the open slanging match and name calling session!
Addressing your first point, Troy is Australian…
That is probathe Interwebs. Your whole comment displaysand is utterly contradictory! Wowee!
Sam wasn’t pushed. His contract ended!
Finally – they certainly can’t go back now…. except trek have no top rider and the season is fast approaching
hahaha. sorry. that made me laugh.
Trek is a tainted company after the Lance Armstrong debacle. Gwin is right to swap over teams. He is currently the best in the world and shouldn’t be tainted by Trek’s questionable knowledge of years of doping. Gwin is maintaining his reputation. Good management of a world champion.
Armstrong rode a Trek, but lots of other prominent dopers have ridden Specialized bikes. Contador, Vinokourov etc.
They haven’t had the negative worldwide press that Armstrong has had. It makes absolute sense to distance yourself from such a shit storm.
Lance’s operation involved the whole team, the riders, the support staff and the managers. Trek kept signing the bills for a decade, with the steady stream of riders and assistants (and Greg Lemond) getting chewed out Trek knew exactly what they were involved in and they repeatedly took steps to keep it hidden.
I think this is possibly better news for Troy that Gwin. Troy will be able to draw on Gwin’s experience on top of that from Hill. Gwin now has to start again with a new (inferior) bike set-up.
Well they don’t have a top rider that we know of!! There is still the new rider announcement to come. Good old Specialize still pissing people off. So pleased I have never and will never buy their bikes just out of pure stubborn principle. Go Hill hope he destroys it this year. Specialized just jump on the best rider in the field all the time from one to another, boing, boing, boing like rabbits.
Only Gwin can be perceived as the one pissing people off here.
Also to add why didn’t they approach Gwin back in september when most riders negotiate their deals why 2 weeks before a Trek team launch. Oh hold on maybe Sam decided to leave and left them up in the air with no big rider and specialized not wanting to be left out looking stupid went for the current big name on the race circuit. Just bad practice
‘’
Team riders need to be announced to the UCI very soon though.
Big Al…
They were all at it chumego. Yes Trek had the biggest name so therefore took the biggest hit but dont think for one second the Specialized weren’t dealing out the money to pay for the drug fueled success..
Im still a Armstrong fan. He still had everything that makes a champion, drug fueled or not. Best of a bad bunch..
I agree. At the time they were all on a level playing field and I think Armstrong’s other achievements still make him a hell of an athlete. But, Trek waited a long time to ditch him and in waiting have ruined they’re rep. I don’t see specialized as having done anything bad. It’s obviously mutually beneficial.
We didn’t wait a long time. We waited until the USADA report was announced because we still believe in th
Trek have Brook
Spesh are on a hiding to nothing cos if gwin doesn’t completly dominate then it’ll reflect on their bike. Under pressure!
It will be pretty funny if Gwin doesn’t win any races this year and all Specialized have got for their money is proof that the bike is not up to it!
the chuck noris statement is simply brilliant. I pissed my pants.
“no single rider is bigger than the team as a whole”…I would beg to differ Mr. Whiteley, we all know that sadly, big names make a team. Hill on Iron Horse, Athertons on Commencal, Athertons on GT, Peat on Orange…GWIN ON TREK.
It worked like this maybe 10 years ago. Today big names are willing to ride for a team only if its a good team means proven in term of structure, management, staff and in the very end equipment. 23D is definitely one of the best management agencies out there with a proven track record: Arai Global, Honda, Trek, management of top athletes, etc.. My prediction on this one is that Gwin was unhappy with some subject other than money.
That may be all well and good, but a top rider still has massive influence over how well the team, and the products they use do. For Example, my guess is that with the Sam Hill signing CRC/NukeProof will suddenly become everyones favourite team, yet previously they were very much an “also-ran” outfit compared to the other teams (Syndicate, GT Atherton, TWR, Specialized etc.) I mean, how many people did you see on Demo 9/8/7′s before hill signed? It was a moderately popular, capable bike available for years before he rode it, yet the minute he signed on the line they were f***king everywhere like a plague.
Looks like a Trek… no… wait….
Tracey leaves,
Something up at trek I’d say!
These are not my personal views, or that of the Olliebongo Broadcasting Corporation and are in fact entirely fictional specualation for comedic effect.
Well he was pretty fast on Yeti.
Average? Getting 10th place at the first World Cup he competed in, having started racing mountain bikes less than 1 year prior is not something an average racer does.
Yep, he`ll definately go to hell and burn for doing that!
A letter of intent is not a contactual obligation. It’s in very simple terms an agreement to consider an agreement and is very difficult to enforce. A contract is a “meeting of minds” and it often happens that people sign letters of intent to sign a contract but when reading the contract don’t agree with the terms and are not obligated to sign it. That is even if they have made a letter of intent.
Couldn’t have put it better Martin.
This is all very much like Specialized. With a few exceptions they tend to buy team riders at the height of their career. Sam Hill, Alberto Contador, Tom Boonen, Christoph Sauser, Mark Cavendish….
BROOK MC TO TREK!!!
Hmm, big jaw got heated on a L A dope debate as T cleans its act..?
^steve wins. end of story.
Funny if Hill went to trek and started winning again
we got a real bad ass over here
Thing is we are only hearing one side of the story, maybe Trek never came up with the contract. Don’t forget Martin runs the team as a company with sponsorship from their sponsors. Maybe the whole deal was based on promises and nothing set in stone. With the hit to Trek over Lance, maybe they haven’t got the funds to run the top team this year….
He wouldn’t eat the roids…. Simple…. Team rules are team rules…
In the states, contract stuff is controlled by the state. If it ends up in court it ends up there. TWR would not want a guy back who does not want to be there. They are looking for $$$. I am pretty sure after reading Brook’s twitter page that he is going to Trek. I also thing George B is going as well. New 23 degrees signing. Finally healthy and I think that Gabe might just want to carry Steve and Nick and that Italian Jnr.
At least we’re not all pointlessly speculating about something that we don’t know about and hardly matters. Oh hang on….

en | N/A | N/A | Horses are beautiful and powerful animals. For a great many years the relationship between horses and humans has been strong. While horses are capable of great work and are often kept for the work they can due, they are so much more than simple beasts of burdens. For many who own or work with horses, they are as much companion and friend. Whether for work or for leisure, proper care of your horse is of paramount importance. The 2019 UF/IFAS Horse Workshop is a great place to learn these skills.
This year's South Florida Horse Workshop takes place on Thursday January 24, from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. at Buck Daniel Ranch. Located just miles from the largest lake in Florida, Lake Okeechobee, this ranch is in the middle of what many would call old Florida. This makes the event not only an opportunity to learn, but alsobusy daily lives. The ranch is located at 3224 SW 67th Drive, Okeechobee, FL. Tickets bought ahead of time cost $20. On the day of the event, the cost will be $25 per ticket.
In addition to the information to be shared by Clint Raulerson, the event will also include a ranch skills demonstration from Gene Cox. Gene is a horse expert and trainer with over 40 years of experience. Gene ofrange from basic horsemanship, to horsemanship training aimed at helping you learn to better manage cattle. He also spends some time doing demonstrations such as the one he will give at The Horse Workshop.
For this years Horse Workshop, Gene will be bringing his 40-plus years of experience to provide a demonstration of various ranch skills. This demonstration promises to be both education and fun. While there are many reasons to attend this year's Horse Workshop, Gene's demonstration is sure to be something worth remembering.

en | N/A | N/A | We want to present a brief description of what iboga means. More information and details can be find on Wikipedia.
Stimulates the central nervous system when taken in small doses and induces visions in larger doses.
The central pillar of spiritual practice in West-Central Africa, mainly Gabon, uses the alkaloid-containing roots of the plant in a number of ceremonies.
Depending on the dose, the user’s diet, and the user’s level of activity, a person who consumes iboga will experience different effects.
These effects can be dreamy visions and unconsciousness. Iboga can also act as a powerful stimulant. People have taken iboga to feel less tired and as an aid for hunting. Healers and sorcerers have used iboga to achieve knowledge of the divine.
Researchers believe that iboga is also used as treatment for addiction to amphetamines, opiates such as heroin, and cocaine.
In Africa, the Bwiti secret societies of Gabon and Congo consumed iboga in all-night village ceremonies that included vigorous dancing because it creates wonders.
The Bwiti cult used iboga to contact and affirm their relationship with their ancestors.
Bwiti is a spiritual discipline practiced by people of Gabon.
By experiencing this sense of the individual’s relationship to group spirit, they hoped to strengthen the bonds of their society and promote the well-being of all who belonged to it.

Robin Wright,The New Yorker: "Fou...3. ...The deal finally came together (Saturday), just as Iran and the six major powers also moved toward Implementation Day of the nuclear deal. It will mark the point when the United Nations confirms that Iran has complied with terms to dismantle its program, allowing international sanctions to be lifted. ...The Obama administration also hopes (these) events will foster further cooperation when the U.S. and Iran participate in new Syrian peace talks, set to begin on Jan. 25 — a process far more complex than the negotiations over nukes or hostages."
The Washington Post,editorial: "The announced implementation of the Iranian nuclear deal on Saturday came with an important bonus: Tehran's release of four U.S. citizens it had imprisoned, including The Post's Jason Rezaian. The Americans were exchanged for seven peopl, and the dropping of U.S. cases against 14 others whose arrest was sought. Rezaian, who was held for 544 days, committed no crime and should have never been arrested. He was not a convict but a political hostage. His freeing and that of the other Americans ends a gross injustice."
Nicholas Burns, former U.S. diplomat, on Twitter: "Obama deserves credit for the nuke deal and release of Americans held unjustly. But no honeymoon with Iran while it fuels violence in the Middle East."
The Wall Street Journal,editorial: "The mullahs have twice tested long-range missilesince the nuclear accord was signed in July. ...On Sunday, with the Americans home, the U.S. went ahead with very limitprocuring components for the missile program, but Iran has promised to accelerate its missile deployments in any case. ...The West will tread gingerly in challenging Iran's non-nuclear military and regional ambitions lest it renege on its nuclear promises. Iran has again shown the world that taking American hostages while Barack Obama is president can yield a diplomatic and military windfall." |
en | N/A | N/A | sGenerating a framework of measures that operate throughout the life course requires a means of integrating these different measures such that decisions can be made across the life course, not for just one element of it. To ensure that this is possible, it is key that the different measures are similar in their construction: that they are developed using similar methods, valued using similar methods and anchored at the same points. To date, this is the case for the ICECAP measures, which have all been generated from in-depth interviews with the relevant population, valued using best–worst scaling, and anchored at zero (for no capability) and one (for full capability). As long as these theoretical anchors are meaningful, then it should be possible to shift between measures, although some evidence that this is the case, would be important to obtain. If it is assumed that it is feasible to shift between measures, thenthat shift, including whether it should be related to chronological age (apart from the move into end of life which is determined more by likely prognosis) or by some other factor such as cognitive ability, and whether the shift should be immediate on reaching a particular point (e.g. age) or involve a more gradual transfer between instruments. As yet, there has been little thought given to these issues in the published literature and it is clear that both normative and methodological research would be needed, with exploratory research required with both respondents to the measures and policy makers. It should be noted that these issues are of wider concern: moving from a preference-based child health measure to a preference-based adult health measure to generate QALYs across the life course raises similar challenges.
To conclude, utilising capability measures within a life course approach is not something that has been previously considered, yet it sits well with the general principles of Sen’s view of the capability approach, in which context is important in determining the objects of value. Although this inevitably requires a more complex approach to economic decision making, the benefits of capturing what is actually important to people at different stages of their lives, may make the additional complexity worthwhile. Life course approaches to capability measurement may, therefore, offer a promising research avenue for innovative means of improving decision making in health and social care.

Jesus defines the "rich man" in Mark 10:24-25 as someone who has his faith in the things of this world, focusing on the things he can see, rather than in the spiritual comfort God provides for His people every single day!
You can be poverty-stricken and still have an issue with "needs and wants" without the proper perspective. In Mark 12, Jesus tells us of a poor widow who had the perfect perspective. He describes how those who were rich were casting their "abundance" into the collection box, which is to say what they didn't need, they wouldn't miss. Though the widow had little, with little hope of more coming in, she gave all she had!
Our oldest is 11 now and loves to clean gutters for his grandparents to make a little money. When he sees something he wants in a store, he now comes to us seeking our opinion over the purchase. We assure him that it is his money and we discuss his options. It is incredible to see the wheels turn as his young mind processes the cost of parting with his own money; it's not the funny matter it was when he was trying to spend ours!

en | N/A | N/A | The Janneh Commission of Inquiry created to examine into the economic and finances liabilities, marauding and plunder of state owned resources of former president Yahya Jammeh during his twenty-two years of rule and/ or prosecuting of the NIA 9 alleged killers of pro-democracy activists Solo Sandeng is being funded through mandatory spending, which essentially means it is set up to be free of executive and legislative branch influence.
Surviving life in the Gambia is about gradual desensitization to all things which ordinarily would make most people in any other country scream. “Magus humor” becomes our refuge and our immediate defense mechanism, a quick and easy way to make sure we don’t all lose our minds when faced with the avalanche of crazy allegations and revelations plaguing our national life.
Without the element of greed, the promise of receiving a percentage of any recovered funds, very few people would readily speak out against corruption. “Whistle-blowing” is a short-term enticement which fundamentally will not change the moral fabric of our society. Unfortunately, too many things would have to happen for such a consequence to occur. After all, despite all the talk in living rooms or in social media, where are the successful convictions?
Momentous significance the system is resilient, the accused protect each other, calling on the rest of the society to make excuses for them based on ethnicity, professional ties or religion. So, each new scandal raises the stakes, kills a bit more of our already blackened souls and deadens any real belief (or desire) for change. How many millions has been allocated and paid to private prosecutors outsourced to prosecute the Nine NIA’s alleged to have killed Mr. Solo Sandeng case? Can you imagine how many of million dalasi paid to private prosecutors? What happened to the pool of lawyers at the Ministry of Justice? How many millions have been paid to the Janneh Commission probing into the Finances and properties of former president Yahya Jammeh?
Justice Minister Abubacarr Tambadou reported to National Assembly members on Tuesday that the Government has spent over fifty million Gambian dalasi on the JannehYahya Jammeh.
The Janneh Commission began Inquiry into Jammeh’s financial activities in July 2017. Since then, justice minister said it spent 50, 951, 261 Dalasis on its activities, wages and operational cost, among others. The Attorney General said, the Commission was able to generate monies from its activities including 67, 894, 170 Dalasis from the sale of recovered tractors and other items as well as monies in bank accounts hidden and other landed properties discovered by the Commission.
Can you imagine the Justice Minister outsourced the commission to private legal practioners? We treat these events with levity without seeming to realize their momentous significance. We don’t have a country. What we have is an ATM where only a few rogues know the PIN number. The rest of us are simply slaves who applaud or excuse their malfeasance on demand. They make us all look like fools. Why work, why get an education? The amounts that have left the coffers of this country are greater than this year’s budget. Yet, we will accept indebtedness and foreign loans rather than insist the proceeds of corruption are recovered, accounted for and put to good use. We make a lot of noise about democracy and the rule of law, only when it serves to protect our enemies, people who hate Gambia and don’t want to see its people prosper.
The enemies of Gambia are laughing at us while we tweet and pass on jokes about the matter on social media (Facebook WhatsApp). They are laughing at us while we too laugh at each other. So, who is really the fool here? We are trapped and by our own doing. Does the government really want to fight corruption? Do the courts? Virtually every institution which should protect Gambians from grand larceny is compromised. Who do we turn to?
The Bill for Anti- Corruption Act is allegedly languishing somewhere either at the Justice department or at the National Assembly, along with our dreams of a better country. Think about it. Why would a lawbreaker assist the hangman in preparing the noose to condemn it? Why would judges and lawyers who have connived with these same lawbreakers, made millions and lived large by protecting their interests, suddenly want to preside over a fair process which ultimately could lead them straight to jail?
How do you deal with people, consider their so-called “human rights” (which in truth amounts to a laissez-faire attitude to injustice) when these individuals have no qualms about watching the rest of Gambians die? A “fall guy” is yet to be designated for most of the current scams and scandals.
As the story usually goes in Gambia, someone low on the pecking order, someone the real owners of the money can do without, is designated to take the fall for the others, the trial is mediatized; we all pat ourselves on the back, then repeat from step one which is to brazenly steal and deprive the rest of the society from even the most basic rights.
We are being held hostage. Outsourcing of justice system Perhaps the best the President should have done was to hand over all the cases to the International Criminal Court where both the funds and the know-how are available to prosecute and obtain convictions using the evidence available both locally and internationally. The ICC won’t be compromised, unlike our local agencies where everyone owes someone something and greed is common currency.
After all, former Presidents, CEOs, etc. are investigated in other climes and the heavens don’t fall. The fear in The Gambia is that too many people are involved in illicit activities and that investigating or prosecuting one person could mean the collapse of the entire system. It’s a ridiculous excuse, prepared and promoted by those with something to hide. What about all those who have died, been murdered, displaced, or simply disappeared?
A sure fire strategy is for Gambians of like minds with the interest of the nation at heart to come together to launch an Independent Party!! Flush out the BAD EGGS!!
Bena Gambia!
Unfortunately, it seems like the Gambia and Gambians are destined to be engaged in a Collective digging for a Collective burial, instead of Confronting and Facing the “Usual suspects” who manage to get themselves or their extended families, business partners, and others to usurpe, violate, obstruct and corrupt the Public Trust and Gambians’ Welfare. They manage to find a way to put their fingers, no their whole hands in the pot, even the piggy bank to steal from the Gambians. No amount is small or large enough for these Gambians. The so-called “White Collar” Crimes need Laws and Legislation that would work to punish severely and drastically those who prey on the Gambian people’s National Treasury and Common Good. No Branch of the Gambian government should be spared Scrutiny and if found guilty of Economic Crimes, punished in a manner that restores Public’s Confidence and Opionion in their Government, Public Officials and Civil Service. Gambians and Gambia Deserve it. Question is, would they Collectively Demand it with a Collective Effort, for a Sustained Time? Time will tell.. |

Bernice had a brother, Earl Ashley, who was six years younger. Her mother moved the family to less expensive Los Angeles where Bernice received her formal education through Junior High. While Bernice was outgoing, her brother Earl was a quiet individual who enjoyed tennis.
Bernice and John were married for 17 years and had two daughters. One daughter, Janet, now lives in the state of Washington; and daughter Sandra, who lives in Oregon. While raising the children, Bernice took in seamstress work. Sandra, in her younger years, was a Hugh Heffner bunny girl. Bernice's marriage with John ended in divorce.
For a number of years Bernice worked for Bullocks department stores in Pasadena and Los Angeles.
She doesn't remember when she moved to Newberry Springs, but estimates that it was about 30 years ago. That would place her age at about 70 at the time. Bernice has worked in Newberry as a nurse, a caregiver, and property caretaker.
Her opinion of doctors isn't very high. She avoids them in preference to taking vitamins religiously every day.
Bernice was featured in two human-interest news stories in the Barstow Desert Dispatch recently regarding Bank of America possibly evicting her. The stories ran on January 24, 2013 and February 11, 2013. A new recent Texas bank buyer of the land has agreed to allow Bernice to remain on the property and has offered to assist with relocation costs should she desire to move.

en | N/A | N/A | Croydon - High Street - Marc Joss Review
After Arsenal beat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, I embarked on a Nandventure which involved a pleasant 2-mile walk into the heart ot Croydon for a new Nando's. This is the older of the 2 Croydon Nando's although it did have a refurb around 3 years ago.
My visit started off badly when the greeter failed to greet me properly, instead he looked at me while cleaning and asked what I wanted. I said a table and he told me it would be five minutes. Two men walked in soon after me and decided to allocate themselves a table as they weren't greeted properly either meaning they got a table before me, not exactly fair.
I went to use the facilities before ordering and they were on the dirty side of the spectrum. The stairs leading to them also had rubbish sitting on them, hardly impressive.
My food came, but was hugely disappointing. It was the sort of half chicken and peri chips that would make less devoted Nando's lose faith in Nando's. There was hardly any sauce on my chicken and a pitiful amount of peri salt on the chips. Also there was something hanging off the edge of the plate, cleanliness was poor! It was hardly a surprise given I found a grain of rice in a fork that I picked out of the fork pot when collecting my cutlery, oh dear! I told the manager that I wasn't happy with the chicken so she took it back and added some more sauce, obviously I'd have preferred it to have been cooked in properly but I wasn't willing to complain again. A Nandoca kindly topped up my peri salt and I finished off my food. The chicken was on the small side, by the way.
Overall, I was happy to leave this Nando's and nobody said goodbye to me properly when I did, maybe because I was in my Arsenal shirt, who knows!? Safe to say, I won't be returning to this Nando's ever again. |

One cannot leave NSP without having a plate of nachos because it's insanely popular here however we were a bit disappointed with the kind we had here. Hashtag Foods overcooked our nachos and the charring was visible on the upper edges also. On the inside however, the cheese was still solid and it ended up being dry nachos with some corn and capsicum thrown in.
6. Chocolate Shehenshah Shake
The staff’s recommendation was very similar to the Chocolate Legend Shake in presentation but it tasted much better than it! It was heavier and more flavourful; the Oreo chunks in the middle was a nice surprise. If we line up both the shakes in comparison, the Shehenshah defeats the Legend by a small margin.

Author pineburronlinePosted on September 12, 2012 Categories PreviewsLeave a comment on Water Gun Assasin! </s> For months, the Dow Jones Industrials seemed invulnerable to every potential threat, weathering the end of the Federal Reserve's economic stimulus and largely ignoring rising conflict in Ukraine and Iraq. Yet what has turned out to be the Dow's Achilles' heel is the energy market, with crude oil's recent 40% plunge having led to triple-digit drops in the Dow on three separate occasions this week alone. As crude added to its declines today, falling below the $59 per-barrel level, stocks followed suit, with the Dow trading down 200 points as of 11:50 a.m. EST.
As you'd expect, the Dow's energy stocks weighed on the average, with both ExxonMobil and Chevron posting greater percentage declines than the Dow overall.on global demand for crude oil included a downward revision of 230,000 barrels per day, suggesting that even more attractive oil prices for buyers won't be enough to stimulate further consumption. Despite their falling share prices today, both Chevron and Exxon are more insulated from oil-price declines thanose smaller players have seen their stocks drop much more dramatically in recent weeks as a consequence.
Nevertheless, other stocks with more indirect ties to the energy markets proved to be larger drags on the Dow than the oil majors. Caterpillar , for instance, led the Dow's decliners with a 2.5% drop, hitting its lowest level since January. In response to the slowing Chinese economy and the resulting lack of demand for construction and mining equipment, Caterpillar started relying more heavily on the energy and transportation industry for equipment sales in recent years. During the energy boom, that was a prudent strategy that helped Caterpillar sustain its domestic revenue. But with the plunge in oil prices, investors fear that Caterpillar could see the same drop in sales to the energy industry that it experienced with its mining-equipment business several years ago, when gold and silver prices fell so sharply that it left mining companies without any available cash to make major capital expenditures on heavy equipment.
In the long run, a sustained drop in energy prices will have positive impacts for some businesses and negative impacts for others.

en | N/A | N/A | Things to Do in Cancun, Mexico's Yucatan Gateway
By Alice Green Mar 25, 2022
Cancun, sometimes known as the "Gateway to the Yucatan Peninsula," is frequently the first place that most Americans visit when they come to Mexico. According to some estimates, up to 40% of American vacationers choose Mexico as their destination of choice.
Discover Ancient Ruins via Virtual Reality Experience
A Mexican Las Vegas, except more congested and fuller of annoying first-time visitors who are frightened to drink the water or leave their all-inclusive resorts. Hundreds of students go to Mexico around Spring Break to party hard and acquire a tan, utterly ignoring the country's rich cultural heritage.
Having said that, the city does offer fantastic nightlife and some stunning beaches to enjoy. However, there are plenty of additional enjoyable activities in Cancun that the majority of visitors overlook...
You may be interested in some of my recommendations for interesting and quirky things to do in Cancun, whether you're there during the day or at night. These suggestions are applicable regardless of the time of year you visit.
Travel Restrictions to Mexico 2022
Is cancun safe to travel to? Yes, Mexico has waived all COVID-19 entrance criteria for the time being. As of January 2022, tests, immunization records, and health-related paperwork will no longer be necessary. On the other hand, Americans are required to undergo testMost hotels, attractions, and private excursions are now open, with new health and safety measures in place. Certain restrictions (such as wearing a mask) may apply to your trip depending on your location.
1. Swimming in Cenotes is a Popular Activity
The Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico is renowned for its spectacular cenotes, which are natural lakes created in limestone caverns. It is estimated that there are hundreds of cenotes around the Riviera Maya, many of which are swimmable.
Craters in the limestone surface collapse, producing an entry into the Yucatan's extensive subterranean river system, which is known as cenotes. The majority of individuals who come to them do so to go swimming, scuba diving, or snorkeling.
Cenotes in the Ruta dpproximately a 30-minute drive from Cancun,Among the various cenotes in this area are to name a few. Verde Lucero was my favorite since it has its own zip line!
2. Ceremonial Temazcal
A Temazcal ritual is a traditional Mayan purifying ceremony that takes place in a hut that is just a few feet square. You enter the sweat lodge after stripping down to your underwear (or swimwear), which has been heated with hot rocks and water, transforming it into a steamy sauna experience.
The ceremony is overseen by a local shaman. He leads the process and ensures the well-being of those taking part. The temazcal ritual takes place in complete darkness. At the same time, the shaman pours water over the hot rocks while singing and utilizing various plants to call up spirits from the depths of the earth.
Although Temazcal has been used since ancient times, it is considered a cleansing ceremony that cleanses the body, mind, and spirit. While your body is sweating in the claustrophobic hut, you enter a profound state of concentration, which is aided by the shamanic chanting in the background.
3. Visit the most beautiful beaches in Cancun
In Hotel Zone, you will find several Cancun beaches where you can relax and sip a margarita. Still, some are very beautiful and unique in terms of mood and attractiveness.
Playa Delfines is one of the main best beaches in Cancun and is located on the Caribbean Sea. It is also notable for the presence of the famous Cancun sign and the absence of hotels or resorts, which makes it a favorite among locals. Fortunately, swimming is not permitted because the currents are quite strong.
Playa Tortugas is the perfect beach for families with children since the waves are minimal and allow for safe swimming. The only disadvantage is that it might get overcrowded at times. At the beachside restaurant, you may relax with a drink or some seafood.
Swimming in the Caribbean seas from Chac Mool Beach is an absolute must-do activity. There are several operators that hire water sports equipment, making this gorgeous beach a haven for water sports enthusiasts of all types.
There is no better place to find the right balance between a bustling scene and a tropical hideaway than Playa Forum. This beach, which is situated behind Coco Bongo, the most famous nightclub in Cancun, is surrounded by a variety of restaurants and clubs.
4. Ruins of the Maya city of Chichen Itza
Chichen Itza, a Maya city in Mexico, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it is noted for its incredible ancient pyramids. Located in Chichen Itza, the oldest structure goes back to the 5th century.
The Temple Of Kukulkan (also known as "El Castillo"), a 98-foot-tall pyramid construction, is the most spectacular landmark in the city. The nine terraces around it represent the belief in the existence of nine levels in heaven.
Chichen Itza has been meticulously conserved, allowing visitors to see firsthand how the ancient Maya people lived. It is about 2.5 hours by vehicle or 3 hours by bus from Cancun, and it is the most visited Mayan site in the Yucatan. It is situated on the Yucatan Peninsula.
Mercado 28 (Market 28) is a massive retail complex in the heart of Cancun's city. This isn't your typical mall; instead, it's a huge flea market with over 600 exhibitors selling just about anything and everything.
Mercado 28 is a great place to pick up some unique Mexican goods, ranging from textiles to maracas and leather products. Many of the products are handmade and one-of-a-kind, making them excellent travel presents.
Please feel free to put your negotiating abilities to the test here. If you refuse to accept the seller's original price, you may be able to walk away with a beautiful bargain. Stop by one of the nearby eateries for a meal for a fraction of the cost of a meal at the Hotel Zone!
Mercado 28 is easily accessible by bus from the Hotel Zone, but if you are driving, make sure to keep track of which parking lot you are in since there are four separate entrances and parking lots that appear pretty similar.
6. Cancun's best nightlife and nightclubs
I can't speak about Cancun without bringing up the subject of nightlife. The city is well-known for its wild nightlife, which is most prevalent during Spring Break when students flock to Mexico for a bit of adventure.you may let loose and dance the night away till dawn. The greatest nightclubs in Cancun nightlife normally have massive lineups of people waiting to get in, but it's well worth it.
You can easily see why Coco Bongo is Cancun's most famous nightclub. They have acrobats, cover bands, and DJs to keep the party going all night. It's a cross between a nightclub and a Vegas performance, in a way!
The City Nightclub hosts famous DJs on a regular basis, including Tiesto, Fergie, and Paul Van Dyk, who play at the club. The club has three levels and nine bars, and it can accommodate up to 5000 people per evening.
Those who want to celebrate bikini season can head to Mandala Beach Club. Great music and wonderful tropical beverages are available at this outdoor house music club, which is open every day from 9:30 PM to 1:00 AM.
This is the place to go for techno and house music Daddy O, professional dancers and light displays, and body painting. Party till the wee hours of the morning on the club's two levels, which feature five bars.
7. Swimming with Whale Sharks is a Unique Experience
Because the Whale Shark is on the endangered species list, having the chance to swim with these amazing animals will have a lasting effect on anybody who is fortunate enough to do so.
You may swim with these enormous, peaceful animals in the Yucatan peninsula, which is one of the few areas where you can do so. An adult can grow to be 12 meters long and weigh up to 20 tonnes, making it the world's biggest fish.
Baby whale sharks are very playful and have been seen playing with swimmers. The most fantastic time to swim with sharks is during the day between June and September. Toamong other locations.
8. The Sea Turtles
Sea turtles may be seen on the beaches surrounding Cancun, which are among the most fantastic spots in the world to see them. Turtles lay their eggs on the beach between May and October, and you may observe them from the shore. From July to December, the tiny ones hatch and flop into the water.
Tortugranja, a turtle farm and conservation facility on Isla Mujeres, is the most incredible spot to see sea turtles in their natural habitat. According to the National Park Service,s are the most prevalent turtle species that may be seen in and around Cancun and Isla Mujeres.
For a $3 admission, visitors may see turtles throughout the year and at various stages of growth at Tortugranja. You may feed them and interact with them while under the supervision of a guide, much as you can, with crabs, urchins, and conchs as well.
9. Having a Drink at Seor Frogs
Seor Frogs is the quintessential Cancun bar where you can have a drink after a long day at the beach. The atmosphere is exciting, and everyone is singing and dancing. You may also get some food at this location.
The floor is coated with sawdust, and the walls are adorned with amusing placards. They serve beverages in enormous "yard" glasses, and a Conga line may break out at any time.
You may also bring children if they are above the age of eight –e amount of noise and the number of individuals who are partying hard.
The Las Coloradas, sometimes known as "the red ones," is a group of pink lakes located near a tiny fishing community of the same name. It is part of a natural reserve that includes 150,000 acr.
Apart from fishing, the stunning pink water is part of a salt processing plant, one of the area's most important businesses. The crimson plankton and shrimp that give the lakes their vibrant pink hue are responsible for this.
A hire vehicle will take you to Las Coloradas around three hours from Cancun. Accommodations in Rio Lagartos, 30 minutes distant, are available to those who choose to spend the night in the region. Tours to see the flamingos may also be arranged from Rio Lagartos. |

Director-producer Evie Manning on Common Wealth's new play about TTIP
19 Oct 2015 No comments
Home Centre Stage Blog: Evie Manning
The Deal Versus the People by Common Wealth is a play staged in Bradford Council Chambers on 21-24 October in response to the TTIP negotiations. TTIP is that critics say gives too much power to big business. Common Wealth is an award winning political theatre company based in Bradford, making and touring work across the UK and internationally.
Everyone I speak to, from all backgrounds, knows exactly what’s going on. We all know there’s a massive growing gap between the rich and the poor, we all know there’s a concentration of wealth amongst the super rich and because of this a concentration of power. We’re not stupid. But what do we do when we know? When we feel so ignored and unrepresented so much of the time? As Asad Rehman from Friends of the Earth, who we met in our research stage said: “The biggest achievement of the Tories is to make us feel like we can’t change anything.”And if our dominant media is so inaccessible, so patronising and full of shit then we will make theatre that brings us together and says we’re all feeling this.in Bradford Council Chambers sitting in the chairs where the councillors usually sit and we’re charging it with up with people, with feeling. We’re not trying to act like politicians. Of course, politicians are just people but there’s a certain training ground (again perpetuated in our media) that to be taken seriously we need to keep it together, to not be emotional. We’re saying TTIP and neoliberalism will affect our lives, we know who it will benefit and who it will forget.
We don’t want to be ignored anymore and told we’re stupid and we don’t care.as.
To end on a quote from the incredible Howard Zinn: “ised“Some people might say: ‘Well, what do you expect?’ And the answer is we expect a lot. People say: ‘What, are you a dreamer?’ And the answer is yes, we’re dreamers. We want it all.”

This is very much a hands-on role which requires someone with Project Management experience, in order to define, analyse and deliver operational and technological change. You must be able to lead multiple projects, manage the risks and ensure change is transitioned throughout the business area – identifying a solution and then championing this change.

en | N/A | N/A | "SA: I would attend webinars and different events and there would always be people talking about mindset and limiting beliefs. And it can be so hard to take that first step. I know for me it was kind of like who am I to invest in real estate. I'm a nurse. Like I went to school to be a nurse and now I'm trying to get into real estate."
[00:02:22] KR: Yeah, interesting. Obviously, you've got a passion for nursing. You've invested a lot of time into your education around nursing. And so what was it that drove you to seek out real estate?What attracted you?
[00:04:03] KR: I mean, that resonates so much with me, because that's really the exact same reason that that I started. It was all about understanding the why. And for me, same thing, the why was my family. Similarly, I have three small children, four, three and one, and looked around in my old career where I was traveling all the time, wasn't home much and really said, "What kind of dad am I going to be for these kids?" Last thing I wanted to be was an absentee father because of work, right?
[00:04:52] KR: Yeah. So you mentioned that you started out with flipping and, yeah, I can't imagine. I mean, doing a flip in my own town is difficult enough, let along trying to do that across the country. And that's just not scalable to kind of learn that lesson. And then you went on a single family rentals, right?But ultimately you realized that multifamily was the place you wanted to be. So what was it about multifamily that differentiated itself and made that your target?
[00:07:40] KR: Yeah. I think that's so cool, and it's such a good service you're providing to your colleagues and other professionals that just wouldn't have access to these type of investments without you doing that, right?
[00:08:58] KR: Oh, very cool. So something else you mentioned is your partner is your husband, right?
[00:10:54] KR: Yeah. Yeah. No. I agree. I think that that's awesome that you guys are working together in that way. So how do you guys divide and conquer now that you've split up the roles?
[00:12:15] KR: Yeah, very cool. Very cool. And how do you guys manage the transition back into family life at the end of the day?Are we not talking about business at the table or how does that work?
[00:14:09] KR: Yeah. Well, I think, a couple big takeaways from there that I know are critical is just talking about the intentionality of everything, right?I think that's something that has really hit home with me this year as well, is you get so busy that you can just fly from one thing to the other and are you ever really taking advantage of that moment in that situation?Are you getting the most out of that meeting or that time, right?And unless you approach everything in a very intentional way and you're prepared and you're dedicated that time, then you really don't, right?
So you've accomplished a lot, right?You've launched this. You've launched your brand, The Net Worth Nurse, which I think is a great brand. I'm sure that's going to catch on really well. You've completed multiple investments your first syndication, but I'm sure there's a lot that you had to overcome as you're going through this process. Everybody struggles with things like limiting beliefs and overcoming challenges and just having the ability to maintain and continue on. So talk to us a little bit about the mindset that this takes to manage your W2, the syndication world, your family, right?
In terms of overcoming limiting beliefs, this was huge wlisten to people talk on podcasts. Aat first I was kind of like, "What?" Like, "Where are these people coming from with this?How does it really relate to real estate?" And it was a huge topic almost – Even now, on every webinar or live event or virtual event now, but there's always one person on there talking specifically about mindset. And it is so powerful because a lot of people in this field, especially people who are coming from different careers, which is the majority of people especially that I've connected with. They're in a different career. Want to get into real estate. I And even doing that first syndication and we were putting out feelers with our friends and family, and although they knew we were investing in real estate, it was kind of like, "Wait?What are you doing?You're investing in real estate?You're operating syndications?You're a nurse. Where is this coming from?"
It's kind of like, "Well, who am I to be in this space?
So it was a lot of overcoming like where am I to kind of come into this space. And even now as I'm capital raising and working with physicians to kind of explain and show them the different benefits of real estate. That initial conversation that I have with them, it's always kind of like, "Wait, you're a real estate investor?
[00:18:46] KR: I found the same thing in that. The real estate investing community is an amazingly positive place with a lot of entrepreneurial-minded people who are setting goals and achieving them, right?And like we talked about before, being intentional about what they're doing and not just letting life pass you by, right?And approaching things, kind of shaping your destiny and creating that that freedom that you want. So I think that's awesome. I think that as you were speaking about those limiting beliefs, there's like two pieces of capital raising where, I mean, you have to convince others, right?But in order to convince others, you really have to convince yourself first that you can do it, right?And I struggled with the same thing at the beginning of just kind of that impostor syndrome or like who am I to go out and raise money from people, right?Who am I to take people's money and put it into an investment?Am I going to be successful?And how can you do that?
And I think that the mindset is huge at first because you just really have to believe in yourself. You have to create a support system around yourself. Kind of that back stop for when things don't go right. And sounds like you've done that. And so I think it's amazing how just you start doing this by focusing. You say, "Okay, I want to invest in real estate," and ultimately it's because you want to make money and you want to create, I think, more importantly passive money, right?Because you want time freedom. But it sounds like you've had a similar experience as I did where you really go through this process of immense personal growth as you're continuing to set goals and push yourself. And I think it's really about spending so much time outside of your comfort zone, right?
[00:20:36] KR: And firsts are hard, right?They're always difficult. They always take longer than you expect. It's always more difficult than you expect. But as you overcome those things, I think you also build confidence and you start to shatter those limiting beliefs. No. That's awesome. I think it's a great message for our listeners out there that are maybe on the sidelines or having those same thoughts, because I think almost everybody does. And just understand that you can power through it and you can do it with a W2. I did it. You're doing it. And there is freedom on the other side of it. So it's worth it, right?And whether you do it in doing your own deals or you invest passively. I mean, you can absolutely invest passively because maybe you love your W2 job and you want to commit yourself to that, but you want to have the stability of a second income stream, right?
[00:21:37] KR: Yeah. Well, awesos we wrap things up, I want to move into our keys to success round. A few questions that I want to ask you and so you can share your thoughts with our listeners. The first one is what's the?So if they're looking to invest in a deal with you, what's the most important thing for them to know?
[00:22:04] SA: I think the best question that I get from investors is why this deal. Like why does this one stand out?
And being able to take your – You don't even have to really have a big foundation in real estate to understand a business plan of raising rents and then selling. And why Atlanta, Georgia over Los Angeles, California?What are the differences in the market and what do you see there?Basically, I think the why of like why this deal. And then it gives the sponsor a huge opportunity to list all the reasons why they love a deal. And if you're working with a great sponsor, they should have a huge list of reasons why they love a deal. When we find a deal in a specific market with a specific value add component, we get super excited off it and we love to share the returns. I mean, whether it's high cash flow, low cash flow, great return of investment, that sort of thing. What we love about the market?
[00:25:09] KR: Oh, great. And lastly, what's your number one key to success?
[00:25:15] SA: Right now I would say network with people. If you're thinking about real estate investing and looking for a different niche, talk to people who are doing it. If you're thinking about flipping, find a flipper on Instagram and hit them up and see kind of why he got into it. What he loves about it. What are his struggles?
[00:25:53] KR: Yeah, you can never have a large enough network, right?You can never know enough people. And that is what this business, really, any business is all about, right? like and they trust, and networking is how you do that. And I think being proactive about that is extremely important. So that's a great tip. And I think whether you're an active investor or, again, you want to invest passively. I mean, you've got to get out you've got to know the sponsors you're investing with. You got to get to know them. You can't just sit back passively, because that's the most important part of any deal is, "Who's the sponsor?Who's running it at the end of the day?" |
en | N/A | N/A | I wasn’t anywhere near this cute. I was nearly six feet tall when I wore my costume.
The evening of the contest, Mom told me to pretend that I was sketching the judges. This was guaranteed to win their favor, but it didn’t. First prize went to some little kid in a fairy outfit. How lame can you get? I thought, and gave up on wearing costumes, being in contests and Halloween in general. It was a bitter pill, and I was never quite the same afterwards.
I don’t know if you like watches as much as I do. I have about fifteen of them, for different occasions. I think I’ve always appreciated the craftsmanship and design of a nice watch. You have to remember that I grew up in an era when a gold watch was considered an appropriate retirement present, and maybe that’s why I like them so much. I don’t know what today’s Millennials would do with a watch their company gave them for retirement. Probably throw it away. For one thing, people that age don’t work at one company long enough to earn anything, and for another, they don’t use watches, preferring to get the time from their smart phones.
While there are a lot of ways to find out the time, not wearing a watch and checking it every ten minutes has made me less concerned about how long something is going to take. An event is going to take as long as it will take (a brilliant observation, I know), and staring at a watch 25 times in a half-hour meeting is not going to change how long the meeting takes. I think I’m more relaxed and in the moment. No time is a good time in this case. I also don’t have the dreaded “watch shadow” on my left wrist any more, you know, that patch of skin in the shape of a watch that’s lighter than the area around it.
No one except God knows if the universe is infinite, but if it is, it currently measures 92 billion light-years across. And the universe ages, the size of the universe will continue to expand to an infinite size at some infinite time in the future. We won’t see that during this earthly lifetime, but we will witness that when we are with God. All praise to God who is light, who is beyond time, who is eternal, who is our Creator, Redeemer and Friend. Amen. |

A HIt64.
Across the game’s four open-world levels, you solve puzzles, defeat enemies, and collect items that let you unlock new hats for new abilities. It’s available on Xbox One, PS4, Switch, and PC.In practice, it’s just cars driving around a field hitting a large ball into a soccer net, but that neat curious experiment has captivated millions thanks to its consummate depth and penchant for surprising hilarity.
play, ideal for both young kids (probably as young as five)Rocket League is available on Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PCre are several more Zombies and Plants to choose from, including an “’80s Action Hero” class that can fire a powerful bow, and both sides come with their own story campaigns that act as great teaching tools for the rest of the game.
Battle for Neighborville is a great choice for houses with more than one child, as well, as it’s playable via local split-screen across its various modese.
Pokémon RPGs have been going strong since 1996, and there really isn’t a better RPG for kids to start with than one of the many iterations available across Nintendo handhelds. These turn-based RPGs follow a young kid on their quest to becoming the very best Pokémon trainer in the world. Along the way, you capture Pokémon to train and use in battle against other trainers.
Pokémon: Let’s Go, while technically not a mainline entry, is also a great choice. It’s a remake of Pokémon Yellow infused with some Pokémon Go catching mechanics for Nintendo Switch.This town management sim featuring one human character (you) and a bunch of memorable animal pals sounds ridiculously boring on the surface, but its relaxing loop will keep you coming back daily to see what’s going on in your town.
If you have two Nintendo 3DS handhelds, you can visit each other’s towns as well. Animal Crossing: New Leaf has a cutesy aesthetic that draws you in, but it’s the sheer satisfaction of completing activities that keep you coming back for more.
.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses also offers tremendous replay value, so it can be a child’s one big gift during the holiday season and can last them for weeks or months. This is due to three separate campaigns included depending on a choice you make near the start, and it’s worth replaying multiple times.
Overwatch’s objective-based modes, diverse characters,ter that parents can enjoy with their teenagers and tweens. It’s truly one of the best competitive shooters around. If you don’t want your kids playing Call of Duty or Battlefield just yet, Overwatch is a good substitute (many will tell you that it’s better than those franchises anyway!).
The map is really cool, the legends have fun abilities, and the overall experience feels far more polished than most battle royale games. Plus, it’s free-to-play on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Apex Legends‘ weapons, however, are more realistic than those seen in Overwatch or Fortnite, so parents will definitely want to screen this game. It’s the new multiplayer sensation, though, so chances are your kids are talking about it or have at least heard of it.
Porta Rated E-10, it’s recommended for kids ten and up due to fantasy violence and mild language. In addition to being a joy to play, it’s also genuinely funny. Portal 2 is available on PC and Xbox 360/PS3, if you still have a legacy console you want to dust off.
A collection of 30 Rare games from its first 30 years in business, Rare Replay offers a varied look at video game history, from early beat ’em ups like Battletoads to defining platformers like Banjo-Kazooie to quirky hits like Viva Piñata.
While not every game in this collection is worth playing, there’s a lot of value in the package. Beware, though: Conker’s Bad Fur Day, although cute, is definitely not a game for kids. Rare Replay is available on Xbox One. |

"At the end of that project, I was in technology. I love solving problems and building capabilities and building new things."

en | N/A | N/A | Kelvin and I hit it off quite well. I was surprised by his command of English. He's a native Hong Kong-jin but is completely bilingual although sometimes hard to understand due to the rapidity of his speech. Even more surprising is that he has pretty much an American accent!This, it seems, is due to the fact that much of his English was learned watching American television, proving that sitcoms may actually be good for something besides escapist entertainment. His vocabulary is vast and sometimes esoteric even to the point of knowing the "real" name of the "pound" key found on the telephone keypad!
I knew virtually nothing about Hong Kong and hadn't even seen a map at that point. My host quickly gave me the overall picture which is that Hong Kong consists of Hong Kong Island, several other islands and, to the north, a portion of the mainland which includesyond that is the mainland of China. The entire territory only encompasses 400 square miles but contains about 6 million people, most of which reside in less than half of the total area!
One thing Hong Kong is famous for, with good reason, is shopping. Most everything seems cheap there, especially if one is coming from Tokyo!
All kinds of fruits are available in HK and I tried a durian for the first time. It's a very strange fruit, totally out of my realm of experience. The skin is hard and consists of many sharp, pointy protrusions, similar to a pineapple, except much more lethal. My host informed me that in at least one country there's actually a law prohobiting its use as a weapon!
The inner portion of the durian's skin is similar to that of a pumpkin but its interior is filled with fruit pods, about the size of popsicles. The fruit (the interior of the pods) is the texture of ripe avocado, creamy and smooth, but tastes very unusual. The best way I can think of to describe it is a taste like a combination between banana and almonds. It's not refreshing, more like a dessert and when placed in the freezer for an hour makes a great treat!
I was also treated to a few experiences that not many tourists get. One was a midnight tour of Hong Kong University. HKU is Kelvin's current habitat as he is working on his PhD and as a TA, as well. The nighttime air, warm and still, made the experience a bit surreal...
The third experience off the beaten path was our trip to another place in Hong Kong which will remain unnamed so as not to jeopardize one of my friend's thinking spots. This place is open to the public but closes in the evening and, after closing time, is a great place for somebody looking for solitude. We watched the lights go off, the guards call the last warnings and then sat and talked for a while. I was ill-prepared for stealth as half my clothes were light in color and I was carrying my waist pack but there seemed to be little danger of getting caught. When we got up to leave, however, we walked around a turn only to almost walk straight into two guards who were checking the grounds!We turned around and beat a hasty retreat to my friend's alternate exit, a spike-topped metal gate. A quick climb over and we were home free. We couldn't tell if the guards were in pursuit or not -- they may not have seen us. In any case, the incident gave me another story to tell...
So, even with all that, I still managed to fulfill my mission -- in fact, my only reason for being in Hong Kong. Monday I went to the Japanese consulate to file my request for a visa. When they opened at 9:30, there were over a dozen people in line. The process is very similar to the process of going to the Secretary of State or DMV in the U.S. In other words, a major pain the rear. I presented my "Certificate of Eligibility" provided to me by my company only to find that I needed to fill out a Visa Application, provide a copy of the aforementioned certificate and provide another passport photo! |

While reiterating its commitment to peaceful polls, the party stressed that “nobody centre,. </s> Two seconds into the self-titled album from Tedz Rocket I was catching flashbacks to a hip-hop classic — “Tonight’s Da Night” by Redman. The sample from Isaac Hayes’ “A Few More Kisses to Go” is exactly the same, just not sped up as much.
This is just one of many problems with “Tedz Rocket“. While I don’t mind leaning on classic R&B and funk samples to create hip-hop, the context of the usage is of great importance to the end product. When a classic emcee puts a stamp on a sample that’s hooked up in a beautiful sounding way, the new song itself becomes a classic. The samples used by Tedz Rocket (and their unnamed producer, though I’m assuming it’s self-produced) don’t seem flipped, rearranged, or even cleaned up in any way. They just seemed to be slapped down in the studio like “here, use this.” The simplicity of this presentation is compounded by an overly overt tendency to reference hip-hop classics both as punchlines and hooks. “Real Scoop” creates the same problem as “Today’s the Day” in a different way — it’s not the sample that makes me want to listen to “Scenario” instead, it’s the bar they lift directly from the late Phife Dawg.
At least the title of their lead single/video on YouTube confirmed what I already suspected — Tedz Rocket is self-produced. Unfortunately “Da War Goin’ On” was a poor choice to lead off the album. Even though it’s a more original sounding beat than most of their samples, that doesn’t make it GOOD. It’s actually painful to listen to. Imagining them performing it live makes me picture myself running to the bar for a shot and a beer and hoping that the line is so long they’d be done before I get back. If it sounds like I’m s–ting on Tedz Rocket then yeah, I suppose I probably am, but there’s an undeniably amateurish presentation over the course of 31 minutes that if I was them I’d want to have rethought before releasing it to the world. Ending the album on “Fly With Me” was a huge mistake because of the Atlantic Starr “Let’s Get Closer” loop. It immediately made me wish I was listening to Warren G, AZ, The Luniz, or even “Closer Than Close” by the late Nipsey Hussle (RIP), and just left a sour taste in my mouth about the whole thing.

In an appearance on the Marvel webseries The Watcher (via Coming Soon), opened up about the locations of this hotly anticipated sequel, and what he hopes they'll achieve:
Never far from a joke, Whedon went on to tease, "Weirdly, the whole film takes place in Cleveland." (Cleveland doubled for Stuttgart, Germany in The Avengers.)
After the events of the first film--where Loki called down an extraterrestrial army to try to conquer Earth, starting with New York City--it only makes sense that the world at large would know of The Avengers. And it's smart on two fronts for Marvel to take advantage of a wider playing field. The first of these is that by branching out from the U.S., The Avengers narrative has a much wider array of possibilities and paths. Beyond that, the international appeal of Avengers: Age of Ultron will only increase with the inclusion of other nations on the big screen.
Joss Whedon and his cast and crew made use of the stages at Shepperton Studios in Surrey, England, as well. But it was when they were shooting on location at the University of East Anglia Campus Norwich that Avengers: Age of Ultron caught the attention of fans' cameras, like that in our exclusive footage below: |

en | N/A | N/A | In today’s food circles there is no limit to the flavors and varieties of hummus to be found. One of our chefs shares a few surprisingly terrific ways to enjoy this versatile dish.
Here’s a fun fact: in Arabic the word hummus translates to “chickpeas,” but at the table the word has taken on a broader meaning. Whether you prefer a classic recipe or something with a little more oomph—roasted red pepper or sun-dried tomato, anyone?—this is one dish worth dipping into.
“Hummus is a good source of fiber,” says John Taylor, a member of the Panera Bread® Food Team. “But above all, it’s absolutely delicious! We love hummus because it goes so well with so many things.”
In our Power Chicken Hummus Bowl, we combine all-natural antibiotic-free chicken with cilantro-jalapeño hummus, baby spinach, diced tomatoes, and chopped cucumber and red onion. We finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon and chopped fresh cilantro. “The hummus brings a unique bite to this dish,” says John. “The flavor is truly unmatched.”
It’s never been easier to find your flavor—most grocery stores stock a wide variety of hummus in the cold case. And since we know you are going to want to bring the taste of hummus home, we asked John for some creative serving ideas.
Say yes to pita bread and pita chips, but don’t say no to pairings of another kind: pretzels, carrot sticks, and slices of red and yellow pepper, cucumber, fennel, apple, and pear are all excellent choices for dipping.
For a quick breakfast, spread hummus on a toasted sesame bagel.
Mix equal parts of black bean hummus and fresh tomato salsa for spooning into tacos, burritos, and Southwestern salads.
