Fallout 4: Nuka World Review (PS4)
Capping things off
Version Reviewed: European
review by Robert Ramsey Mon 12th Sep 2016
Fallout 4's selection of post-release content has been divisive. Many will tell you that far too much emphasis has been placed upon the title's settlement crafting system, while others will swear that Far Harbor is better than the main game. From where we're sitting, it feels like Bethesda's latest hasn't quite lived up to its potential. Where Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas did a great job of expanding their respective experiences with chunky doses of downloadable content, Fallout 4's offerings have felt a little flat when taken as a whole.
A lot rests on Fallout 4: Nuka World's shoulders, then. The title's final expansion, it's up to Nuka World to ensure that when we stop to look back on Fallout 4, we'll at least remember that our journey through the Commonwealth ended on a high note.
Unfortunately, this last slice of DLC simply isn't the big finish that many may have hoped for; it never feels like the grand finale that Fallout 4 deserves. If anything, it just feels like another crazy wasteland story - not the definitive end to your vault dweller's tale.
However, Nuka World still stands reasonably strong as an expansion in its own right. The DLC's premise is enticing: Nuka World is a pre-war amusement park now rundown and crawling with Raiders, and you're dragged in to keep the peace between rival gangs, acting as the nicely named Overboss.
Getting the expansion's three Raider clans to play nice essentially boils down to capturing different districts of Nuka World and then handing out each new territory to a gang of your choosing. Naturally, your standing with the three gangs depends on how much land you give them, although aside from some threatening dialogue and the outcome of a later quest, you'll struggle to really notice how your decisions impact the opinions of your psychotic allies.
Indeed, role-playing doesn't, er, play a huge role in Nuka World. Dialogue choices are present in most important conversations, as you'd expect, but opportunities to breathe some further life into your vault dweller are few and far between. A bit of a disappointment given the amount of player choice found in Far Harbor, but this final DLC prefers to emphasise other areas of the release.
Basically, Nuka World wants to you to shoot things - a lot of things. The locations that you have to liberate in order to hand them over to your gangs are typically crawling with enemies, from feral ghouls (ugh, again? Really?) to a whole new breed of Deathclaw. It goes without saying that this expansion is very combat-centric, but at least there are several new types of foe to tear through.
There's also a heavy focus on exploration, which is quite possibly the add-on's greatest strength. Nuka World offers a large new map to traverse, with wide open, almost desert-like expanses making up most of the land that exists outside of the park's various attractions. In some ways, the setting reminds us New Vegas' Mojave Wasteland, especially when you're out in the open and the sun is beating down from a blue sky.
The aforementioned attractions provide a refreshing amount of variety, and make exploration that much more intriguing. As you venture from one area of the park to the next, capturing them as you go, you'll begin to notice that Bethesda has clearly had a lot of fun designing these locations and bringing them to life. Kiddie Kingdom, for example, is full of your typical fairground rides, with spinning teacups adding some stupidity to gunfights with ghouls. If you've grown tired of traipsing around the dusty old Commonwealth, scavenging your way through the same ruined buildings, Nuka World will feel like a breath of fresh air.
Your dealings within Nuka World can have an impact outside of it as well, if you wish. While the expansion may not seem like a true finale, it can alter Fallout 4's endgame to a significant degree. At a point during the main quest line, you'll be tasked with expanding your newfound Raider empire into the Commonwealth proper. This involves picking an existing settlement and overthrowing it, either by wiping out the poor hicks that live there, or persuading them to part with their home.
It goes without saying that this new Raider settlement system may seem a little weird if you're already hailed as a hero for establishing thriving communities under the Minutemen banner, but for those who enjoy being the bad guy, it's a very welcome addition.
Speaking of karmic alignment, it's worth mentioning that Nuka World is, unsurprisingly, geared towards ne'er-do-wells, but it is possible to get a 'good' ending by completing a particular quest which sees you take down the leaders of each Raider gang. A thoughtful option to have, but by seeing this objective through, you'll be missing out on a sizeable amount of content.
It may not be the grand finale that fans of Fallout 4 have been waiting for, but Nuka World is an enjoyable slice of content all the same. With a focus on exploration, the real star of the show here is the theme park itself, which is dripping with detail and dark humour.

About Robert Ramsey
Robert's been a dedicated PlayStation fan since the days of Tekken 2, and he still loves a good dust up. When he's not practising combos, he's usually getting lost in the latest 100-hour RPG, or, y'know, replaying The Witcher 3.

But does it have console crippling fog effects?
@Gatatog strangely enough it almost does in parts of kiddie Kingdom with a green mist
sonicmeerkat
There's not enough stuff trying to kill me I was disappointed, was also disappointed I couldn't create more creatures with the recombinant machine thing. Also the main quest line can be pretty quickly broken.
A 7 good enough for me Harbour panned if i'm right.
This is it for Fallout 4 .
@Bhattiboy
Far Harbor is better than Nuka World if you want to look at it from a cohesive piece of content. Nuka has some interesting locals but it's pretty lacking when it comes to cohesive depth of characters or quest design.
Not saying Far Harbor didn't deserve the criticism of its technical faults on the PS4 btw, just saying it's better outside of the initial issues. It fixed a lot of the problems found with the main story arc, while Nuka reverts back to its shallowness.
NathanUC
I've only started this DLC, but I'm really liking it so far. I still haven't finished the main story (or really tried any of the other dlc yet for that matter), but I really like the initial setup of this one. Judging from this review, it sounds like it will hold that pace pretty well!
One thing I'm confused about was it said Level 30+, but it let me in at level 26... Did they just mean 30+ as a suggestion or am I missing out on something by going there early?
BranJ0
Well this was a long time coming! Still, it's here now, and I much prefer it that you didn't rush it and gave it a full detailed play through before reviewing it. I actually completely agree with your review and score. It's a real shame to me that fallout 4 has only had a couple of expansions, and neither one has hit the heights of what they could have. All in all, a bit disappointing, rather like the main game for me unfortunately
@carlos82 Sigh ...
ShogunRok

@NathanUC Yeah, recommended level is 30+. Worth noting that if you're over that, enemies will scale to some degree.
@BranJ0 I wanted to have this review done and dusted last week, but with the PlayStation Meeting I ended up being stupidly busy, and didn't even have enough time to finish the DLC itself. Fortunately I managed to find the time last weekend to finish the main quest. Took me around 40 hours!
Pink_Floyd
On one hand I'm going to miss them releasing a new DLC every few months but I gotta say Fallout 4 did not live up to my expectations like 3 and New Vegas. Fallout just seemed like an empty shell of its former self.
@Pink_Floyd
I reckon Fallout 4 is a "great" game,......just that sometimes it tries to be an adult-oriented Minecraft / modern FPS at the expense of nailing the RPG fundamentals.
Great games can also be disappointing in some aspects.
Bad-MuthaAdebisi
I've decided I'm going to play all the DLC content by greeting all new NPCs with a Mini Nuke and a Baseball bat. I'm literally going to smash my way through all the DLC and be done. Love the game but no big finish? That's unacceptable for the price hike.
@sub12 I'd say it exceeds in the RPG fundamentals dept. Its just a little dated.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi
Hmm, my big gripe is that although some of the characters and quests feel well crafted (say, the Far Harbor vault murder mystery), a lot of it's also uninspired (the main story arc for the base game is rather sloppy in execution, Nuka World is interesting but ultimately rather shallow, etc).
Maybe instead of working on so many settlement building options, Bethesda should spent that time sprucing up the dialogue and thus making you care about these characters / world on an emotional level.
NoCode23
No technical review?
At about halfway through i agree with the score of 7 given. Lots of exploration and enemies to clear but the story will probably be where the love/hate opions will be formed. I believe more will score lower than 7 than higher.
I found my interactions with the raiders in this raider dlc to be less interesting than with the raiders in Fallout 3 like at Paradise Falls and the Pitt dlc.
Whatever your level you will have no regrets bringing your spray and pray and best power armor.
NomNom
I really hated kiddie kingdom, no real direction, and nothing seemed to die from what normally killed in a few hits. 😔 Otherwise it let me be bad, so I gave it a solid 8. Fallout 4 in general has been a disappointment. They should just let obsidian make all future titles.
@sub12 definitely, dragon age is my favourite game this gen, absolutely loved all the dialogue and interactions
@ShogunRok Ah that's fair enough, the PlayStation meeting must have been a ton of work! I'm glad to hear the DLC provides plenty of entertainment though, you get quite a lot of time out for its relatively cheap price!

Tea Guide for Beginners – The Different Types of Tea for Your Cupboard
It is very hard to find a single person who does not enjoy a cup of tea from time to time. For some of us, it is an everyday occurrence that brings comfort and satisfaction; while for others it may only be consumed when illness strikes such as a when you have an upset stomach or when you must improve your health and well-being.
If you've never spent time buying and trying different teas, it can certainly be a confusing experience. From supermarkets to health food stores and from Asian stores to specialty tea shops, you could spend the next five years trying to find a tea you enjoy (or trying to decide which style and flavor one you like better). But there is no need for that; let's see if we can break it down to make the quest a little easier for you?
What Is Tea?
That may sound like an odd question but it is a valid question. Most teas are made from the Camellia sinensis, a species of the Camellia plant. Teas such as herbal tea and tisanes are made from a mixture of flowers, herbs, leaves, seeds, and roots but don't often include actual tea leaves from the Camellia plant. Teas have different flavors depending on which country the plant is grown in and how long the leaves are left to dry before rolling or cutting.
Tea Growing Regions Around The World
China produces a number of different types of teas and their history with tea go back quite a long way.
Tea is grown in many countries around the world and often the tea is named after where it is grown. The main growing regions include China, India (Assam, Darjeeling, Nilgiri), Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Taiwan, Indonesia, Himalayas, Japan, Africa, Brazil, Nepal, Kenya, and Turkey. There are some smaller growing areas in England, Ireland and Australia. Yes, that's right, in North Queensland and Northern NSW there are tea plantations producing a small amount of black tea.
Tea from China
China produces a number of different types of teas and their history with tea go back quite a long way. Tea was originally used as a medicine and then moved onto being viewed as a tonic, and finally onto a beverage. The country is one of the largest producers and consumers of tea, producing over 30% of the world's tea. In China, tea tends to be grown in the southern and eastern provinces where the climate is humid, although it does grow west to the Sichuan and Yunnan provinces and north to the Shandong province.
The types of teas produced in China are black, green, white, oolong, yellow and pu-erh tea. Growers have also started producing teas that originated in other countries such as Sencha tea, which originated in Japan. Chinese Green Tea is always offered at Chinese restaurants, and when you visit a Chinese person's home.
Purchasing black, green, white and oolong tea is easy today from many stores or online where the choice, variety, and prices are very affordable.
Read more about the types of tea in China.
Tea from Japan
The main type of tea you will find in Japan is green tea. It is the most widely consumed tea in the country and a number of the green teas available for sale throughout the western world originated here.
Japanese green teas are slightly different from those found in China. A distinct difference is that Japanese teas are steamed rather than pan-fried like those in China; the main exception here is kamairicha and mushi-guricha teas.
Japan's basic green tea is bancha which is harvested later in the season through to the more well-known sencha tea that is easily available in western countries. Other teas produced in Japan include genmaicha (brown-rice tea) and hojicha.
Tea from India
Apart from China, India is the other large producer of tea around the world. Similarly to China, tea has been consumed in India for thousands of years used both for medicinal and beverage purposes. Most of India's tea is consumed in India but there are large amounts of mass-produced and artisan tea which is exported out of the country.
India is known for black tea although there has been expansion into green, white and oolong teas in recent years; as drinking tea has become more popular throughout the world. The main teas you will find coming out of India are those from the Darjeeling and Assam regions. A popular Tea from India is Chai Tea or Spiced Tea.
Sri Lankan Tea
Sri Lanka is mainly known for its production of Ceylon tea. The country is the third largest producer of tea in the world and grows tea across the entire country; the various temperatures and humidity levels allow for tea that while inherently the same, has slight taste variations depending on where it is grown.
Ceylon tea is used across a number of different blends including flavored back teas, Earl Grey, English Breakfast and fruit black teas. Dilmah and Twinnings typically use Ceylon Tea as the base of their tea.
Teas from other parts of the world – Australia & New Zealand
If you are looking for a tea produced closer to home, there are a number of small producers of tea across Australia and New Zealand. Australia produces a number of herbs which are used in herbal teas and a small number of our native plants such as Lemon Myrtle are used to make herbal teas. Other teas produced in Australia include black tea, hibiscus tea, green tea, and shincha.
New Zealand has only begun to grown tea in recent years and is now producing a great tasting oolong tea.
Different Types of Tea
Now we know what exactly tea is and what it is made from and where it is grown, it's time to look at the different types of teas available. When trying to choose what teas to keep stocked in your cupboard it is important not to dismiss any tea types just because they weren't purchased at a tea shop or they aren't loose-leaf. Everyday brands such as Lipton, Dilmah, and Twinnings produce some lovely teas which are great if you are at work or traveling, but if you are after more then the stock standard common variety then trying other brands may give you a new experience and appreciation of tea altogether.
The different types of tea on the market come down to two main areas – the type of tea and the region the tea comes from. While there are many growing areas across the world, some areas produce tea types and blends that other areas don't. We have already looked at the types of teas grown in each main growing region so we will now look at the various types of tea that are on the market and ready for you to try.
For those who haven't drunk a lot of tea, black tea is usually the starting point and most commonly drunk tea in the western world. There are many you will find on your supermarket shelf marketed as your everyday teas – Earl Grey, English Breakfast, English Afternoon, Irish Breakfast and Masala Chai. These are blended teas which means that they are a blend of different types of teas including Assam, Ceylon, and Kenyan teas.
Single origin teas are those you are more likely to find in your specialty tea stores or Asian supermarkets. These include teas such as Ceylon, Assam, Darjeeling, Nepali, Tibeti, and Nilgiri.
There is an increasing variety of teas from China and Japan.
There are a huge number of green teas with most coming from China or Japan. We are most likely going to find the Japanese green teas in western countries including varieties such as sencha, matcha, and hojicha. Chinese green teas include Jasmine tea (which has added Jasmine flowers), gunpowder tea and Qing Ding.
While produced from the same plant as black and green tea, white tea is thought to contain the most antioxidants and is named as such due to the fine hairs on the young buds which make the tea look white. White tea is produced by plucking young tea leaves, and then going through the drying process.
There are two definitions of red tea. In western countries, red tea is known as rooibos tea which is actually a herbal tea and comes from a small red bush only grown in South Africa. The tea has a red color which is distinctive to rooibos and has a sweet and slightly nutty flavor. In China, red tea is what we in the west call black tea. Red teas, similarly to black teas, have bold flavors which, depending on the tea you are drinking, may be earthy, sweet, woody, floral or fruity.
Herbal, Tisane & Fruit Teas
These teas are made from an infusion of herbs, spices or flowers and usually don't contain caffeine. Herbal teas are perfect for those who want something to help them relax before bed or just need to wind down. Some of the more popular herbal teas include hibiscus tea, lemon myrtle tea, chamomile tea, fennel tea, ginger tea, peppermint tea, raspberry leaf tea, rose hip tea and many more. A lot of these teas are used for their perceived health benefits such as relieving hot flushes, settling an upset stomach, a cleanser or for digestive help.
Medicinal and Ceremonial Use
Tea has been used for thousands of years throughout the world for ceremonial and medicinal purposes and it is widely known that there are many tea benefits.
Some countries, such as Japan, still use tea in their tea ceremonies while tea is still used for medicinal purposes across the world whether on its own or supplementing dietary requirements.
Green tea can help in lowering the chances of heart diseases, specific types of cancer and eye diseases such as glaucoma; black tea can be helpful for those suffering cardiovascular disease and help to lessen the risk of stroke; white tea has properties which can help those with cardiovascular disease, help to lower blood pressure and cholesterol and also boost the immune system; and oolong tea can help those with inflammatory disorders, heart disease, and high cholesterol as well as helping with good dental health. In Chinese culture, Pu-erh tea is thought to combat the effects of alcohol consumption while herbal teas can help with relaxation and have many antioxidant properties.
Tea ceremonies are still held in countries such as China, Japan, and Korea. In China, the ceremony is usually a quiet casual gathering of tea drinkers, but these ceremonies also happen on more formal occasions such as weddings. The Japanese tea ceremony is a long affair, often lasting up to four hours. Guests are served a single bowl of thick tea which is passed around the room and then served thin tea. There are a number of elements in a Japanese tea ceremony which are strictly followed. In Korea, tea ceremonies are held for a variety of events and are a formal but relaxed event involving the wearing of traditional clothing, with a routine involving the preparation, serving and even the drinking of the tea.
Basic Rules for Brewing Tea
The main "rules" as such around drinking tea are focused on how it is brewed. There are some things you should do to ensure you taste the flavor and subtleties of the tea.
Only use cold water to fill the kettle. If you have poor quality water use filtered or bottled water, otherwise tap water is fine
Only boil the water once. If you want another cup, use fresh water
Boil to the right temperature. If you don't want to muck around with thermometers, just turn your kettle off when it is 80% boiled
When using tea leaves use a ratio of 1 teaspoon of leaves per cup
When using a pot, wash the pot out in fresh water and make sure you wash all the leaves out.
There are many benefits to drinking tea and with so many different types of tea readily available both online and through your local food and specialty tea shops; you are likely to find one or more flavors that suit your mood and taste. Heck! There are so many flavors of tea to be tried that you could seek comfort in a new flavor just about every week.

This article was first published on WakingTimes.com. The article below is the updated version.
The current reality of man is heavily controlled by words. As a result of that, words play a big role in shaping the reality and culture of man.
Besides shaping the reality and culture of man, words also play an important role in trade. Some of the most important words used in the business of trading goods and services are related to the name.
Your name plays a very important role in your life because it allows others to identify you and communicate with you. Furthermore, it allows you to operate in the realm of commerce and fiction, making it easier for you to trade goods and services with people not living close to you.
Having a name can be a wonderful thing but if you do not know how to use it wisely, it can be a curse and prevent you from living a happy life. One of the ways that your name can curse you is when you allow it to bond to your mind too deeply, causing you to think that your name is who you really are.
Your name has the power to trick your mind because it is made up of sigils (letters). Because of this, it is important to use your name wisely, so you do not become a victim of your name.
When you do not know how to use your name wisely, the Dark Magicians or the Elite can use it to imprison your body, mind and soul in the "land" of the legally DEAD. The best time to trick you to "live" in the land of the legally dead or the "sea" of the legally dead is on the day your mother gave "birth" to you.
The contract that the government used to trick your mother and father to agree to allow you to live in the "land" or "sea" of the legally dead is the birth certificate. This certificate is actually a certificate of a dead baby which is why it has a legal name written on it.
The name or legal name is not you because your are living and made of flesh and blood. For evidence showing that the birth certificate is a death certificate, read my informative article titled The Law and You: How the Birth Certificate is Used to Take Away Your Natural Rights.
A. There are two prominent dates displayed on the certificate. One is your actual birth day. The other is the "File Date" when the PERSON (a corporate municipal franchise) was created and replaced you as the beneficiary of your own assets. So you, the living man or woman, have a birth day— and the corporate franchise "PERSON" named after you has a birth date which is always a few days or weeks after your birth day.
In effect, the BIRTH CERTIFICATE records the "death" of your claim to own your own estate and Trade Name, and the "birth" of the federal PERSON's claim upon your assets. You are always the Holder-in-Due-Course, the Party having the first claim (first in line, first in time) to the Trade Name and Estate, but if you don't claim it, or know how to claim it, you are out of luck and disinherited.
B. The BIRTH CERTIFICATE is signed by the Registrar — an Officer of the Probate Court, which proves that your estate was probated. The living American state national, for example, the Minnesotan named William Bales Jensen, was taken off the title of his natural estate and his natural nationality and political status was changed to that of "WILLIAM BALES JENSEN" — a federal Municipal franchise corporation and "citizen of the United States" — that is, a citizen under the Diversity Clause of the old Federal Code which allows corporations to be citizens.
C. The BIRTH CERTIFICATE is issued on bond paper, giving you "silent Notice" that the assets named on the face of the document — your unlawfully converted estate assets including the copyright to your Trade Name, your land, your labor — everything that you could ever own, has been seized upon and bonded by the organization issuing the certificate.
D. The process of false probate just described results in the unlawful conversion of your name and estate assets, makes you a "US citizen" instead of an "American state national", removes you from the jurisdiction of the land and deprives you of your constitutional protections, makes you indebted and obligated to pay the bills of foreign corporations, and otherwise plays havoc with you and your entire country.
It is interesting to know that when you look up the word birth in A Dictionary of Law (1889), it tells you to "see Abandon, 2 (2)".
Based on the definition in the previous paragraph, when your mother gave birth to you and your parents signed the birth certificate with your name on it, they unknowingly agreed to abandon you.
This allowed the State to claim "you" as its property and ship "you" to the land of the legally dead (legal fiction). Be aware that the word birth sounds almost identical to the word berth.
Because they sound nearly identical, a judge or government agent can use them to trick you to think that he is talking about birth when he is actually talking about berth and vice versa. The word berth is defined as "sufficient space for a vessel to maneuver; sea room" or "a space for a vessel to dock or anchor".
"When a ship is in the process of being docked, it is being guided to come to berth. The word berth is defined as "a space for a vessel to dock or anchor".33 Based on this information, when a product is unloaded onto the dock, it just went through the berthing process, which is the process of delivering the product from the vessel/ ship onto the dock.
"Phonetically, the word berth sounds like the word birth. This is why when a woman is in the process of giving birth, she is said to be delivering a baby. The birthing process of a baby is related to the process of delivering a product on a ship. Every woman has a body.
"Another word for body is vessel. A vessel can also be called a ship. The words body, vessel, and ship can all mean the same thing and be used to represent a woman's body. This is why a ship is often referred to as "she" and the main ship is often called the "mother ship".
"To connect the dots, the process of a woman giving birth can also be defined as the process of delivering or berthing a product of a ship. Metaphorically speaking, the product is the baby and the ship is the woman's body.
"When you compare all the information that you just read about commerce and the sea business to the process of birthing a baby, you will see a strong connection between the berthing process of a ship and the birthing process of a baby.
"By spelling the words berth and birth slightly different and making them sound almost the same, the Dark Forces and their minions (the Dark Magicians) can trick you to agree to be a product of a ship, so that they can have jurisdiction over you.
The process of tricking you to agree to be an artificial person is mostly done through the legal system which is the system that deals with the DEAD. The legal system is controlled by the Vatican of the Holy Roman Empire, one of the biggest practitioners of magic spells.
When a court agent serves you a writ of summons, the first question he asks you is often related to your legal name which 99 percent of the time is written in all capital letters on court documents.
If you were to answer yes to being your legal name and accept the writ of summons, you would basically agree to play the role of a dead character.
This occurs because the legal name is not living; instead it is a fictitious entity that has no life force of its own. As a result of that, it is as dead as a fictional character in a storybook. The writ of summons is used to summon the dead using you (the living man or woman) as the medium.
This is why a court agent has to serve you a writ of summons with your legal name on it before a judge can demand you to appear in court.
To connect the dots, when you accept a writ of summons, whether you realize it or not, you agree to raise the dead so you can play the role of a dead character. In other words, you agree to be a zombie.
What do witches do when they want to communicate with dead spirits? They summon them using certain magic spells. Do you innerstand now why it is called a summons?
Have you seen the TV series The Walking Dead? In this TV series, the zombies represent the sheeple who do not even realize that they are legally dead. In other words, from the perspective of the Dark Magicians, you are the walking dead, get it?
The zombie apocalypse is not something that could happen in the future. It is already here because the people are, in a sense, the walking dead!

Driving from Las Vegas, Nevada, it takes less than an hour to get to the world's greatest firearms training school. Front Sight Firearms Training Institute spans five hundred fifty acres and students are going crazy over the exceptional gun training and other self defense training offered there. Self defense firearms training is made fun and safe by founder and director Dr. Ignatius Piazza and his staff of highly trained and motivated firearms training instructors. They work hard at providing the absolute best training possible and have succeeded thus far, becoming the unsurpassed leader of firearms training institutes. Front Sight opened its doors in April of 1996 and has at least doubled in size every year since… and is on track to do it again. One look at the testimonials on frontsight.com and you can see why. Students of Sight, including gun using professionals, competitive shooters, law enforcement officials and military personnel, all agree that Dr. Piazza has really outdone himself and the school is the best thing around in the gun training world. Even men and women who have been in the armed forces for twenty plus years say that they learned more in one weekend at Front Sight than they did in their entire military career. Now THAT is something to congratulate.
Whether you just bought your first gun or you have owned one for thirty years… whether you are thinking about purchasing a firearm or you have a strict abhorrence of them… whether you have never touched a gun or you shoot competitively… whether you are pro Second Amendment or pro gun control… Front Sight has a course for you. To name a few gun training courses, Front Sight offers handgun training, rifle training, shotgun training, automatic weapons training and night gun training. If you want to learn something else, Dr. Piazza also offers edged weapons training (aka knife training), martial arts training, rope training and climbing training. If you want to learn what it takes to obtain a CCW Permit, Front Sight also offers a concealed weapons permit course. And because self defense training is not just for adults anymore, child safety training and youth safety training are available.
For the competitive shooter in you, Dr. Ignatius Piazza is now hosting a new exciting reality series called Front Sight Challenge. It is an elimination competition that will rock your world—and you can view twenty episodes for free! Each episode features a different type of firearm, two Front Sight trained students and two gun using professionals. Episode twelve puts a semiautomatic handgun, the most popular type of gun in the world, into the hands of quite possibly the most diverse group of contestants yet. Deputy Sheriff and ex marine Richard; gun lover, homemaker and mother Cathy; Training Officer Curtis – who has served in the Army National Guard and has been in law enforcement for fourteen years; and enthusiastic Noble, an eighth grader (!) who is ready to win – they all meet on the competition field ready for action. Does it get better than this? See for yourself and watch Front Sight Challenge!


I recently mentioned that maps, tools, and applications in ArcGIS Online continue to expand, highlighting the new map showing the distribution of Starbucks as an example. Another example touches on a subject that many students know very little about--agriculture. We have written about this topic in the past, offering curricular resources such as this one that asks students to analyze the distribution of four crops in the USA and this one asking students to investigate the distribution of five crops around the world using ArcGIS. A starting point for such investigations is simple but powerful maps of agricultural data, such as this one showing the acres of total cropland by county in the USA as a percentage of total land in acres. The data comes from the 2007 Census of Agriculture.
Does the pattern of agricultural land as a percentage of total land surprise you? Do the statistics that are visible when you select a county, indicating how much of the cropland is harvested, surprise you? What are some of the reasons for the spatial patterns that you see? If you live in the USA, how does your own county compare to the others in your region and across the country? What are some factors that explain how much land in a county is dedicated to agriculture? How would you rank the following factors: Soil health and type, climate, growing seasons, frequency of hailstorms and floods, landforms, relief, urban areas, and the height of the water table? Zoom in on some of these counties, change the basemap to satellite image, and examine the type of farms and ranches. Do the croplands rely on precipitation alone or are the croplands irrigated? If they are irrigated, are they irrigated from a canal or from wells?
Change the style--the colors and classification method. How do these changes affect the way you understand the cropland patterns? Based on your answers above to the importance of factors explaining cropland patterns, use "Modify Map" and then the "Add" button to find, add, and investigate these other factors. For example, add the Crops 2009 map by "hillrc" to examine the type of crops grown in Indiana. Which crop type(s) exhibit the most intensive agricultural land use? If you are logged in using an ArcGIS Organizational subscription, search the "Landscape" group under Esri Map Layers for USA Land Cover GAP and soil layers. Also, change the basemap to topographic or add USGS topographic maps to determine the effect of landforms and steepness of terrain on crops.
Sort the table and find the counties with the highest percentage of their land in crops. Then, change the style and choose a different attribute to map, such as average size of farms, cotton or soybeans, orchards, or milk cows. This single table of data contains many variables that can be mapped, compared, and contrasted.
How might you use these maps and resources in your own instruction?

Concerned by the air pollution caused by an ever-more industrialized society, NASA took a close look at houseplants' ability to reduce indoor air pollutants. They hoped the research might help mitigate the chemicals modern synthetic building materials and furniture can "off-gas" into the air, but they were also looking for ways to maintain air quality inside potential space stations.
NASA tested how well houseplants diffuse chemicals like formaldehyde (found in particle board and many other synthetic home items) and benzene (found in cigarette smoke, but also in some paints and glues). Their findings were originally published in 1989, but still ring true today, and were recently resurfaced as an easy-to-read graphic from Love The Garden.
Consider NASA's picks next time you're shopping for a container garden. Some of them, like the Chinese evergreen, are even hard to kill, so you don't need a green thumb to reap the benefits.


Encouraged by growing demand for electricity and generous subsidies in the 2005 federal Energy Policy Act, Constellation Energy has proposed constructing a 1,600 MWe nuclear reactor next to the two reactors operating at Calvert Cliffs. The new plant—larger than any existing nuclear reactor in the U.S.—would not be completed until well into the next decade, and would be licensed to operate for 40 years. Its operation would not be a benefit to Maryland. Nuclear power is an expensive energy source at every stage, from plant construction to waste disposal and decommissioning.
In 2008, Maryland PIRG helped pass the EmPOWER Maryland Act, which sets a statewide goal of reducing per capita electricity use 15% by 2015.

From Van Morrison to Jackson Browne: 8 songs that Joan Baez couldn't live without
@TomTaylorFO
Wed 23rd Jun 2021 11.00 BST
The Greenwich Village folk revival scene represents a fascinating chapter in American history. Seemingly everyone in the land with a guitar and an outlook of peace and love descended on the borough, and it can be said that from there, the sixties began in earnest. Joan Baez epitomises everything about that tough but sanguine page in culture more than most.
The times were a-changing in more ways than one and as Bob Dylan proclaims, Joan Baez (or Joaney as he calls her) was at the cutting edge of the movement: "Joaney was at the forefront of a new dynamic in American music. She had a record out that was circulating in the folk circles, I think it was just called Joan Baez and everybody was listening to it, me included, I listened to it a lot," he declares in the 2009 documentary Joan Baez: How Sweet the Sound.
Her prominence at the heart of the sixties movement made her appearance on BBC'S Desert Island Discs all the more noteworthy. For those who perhaps don't know, the show is a British institution that has featured some of the biggest names in history over the course of its 79-year history. Over the course of the show, guests pick eight songs, a book, and a luxury item to be cast away with to be left in solitude on a desert island.
Many of Baez's choices venture down the classical route. "Any classic music was really my mother's doing," she explained. Adding that songs like 'Goldberg Variations' entered her "into some kind of trance". While it is not necessarily a style of music that you would associate with Baez, the trance-like state that she suggests moves from performer to the audience in Glen Gould's humming recital of the piece is very much in line with her captivating stage persona. As Bob Dylan said himself, "she had crowds of thousands of people enthralled with her beauty and voice."
Regarding the inclusion of her own work on the island, she explained that, for a long while, she struggled to come to terms with her own music and the fame that surrounded it. "I underestimated the gift [her own talents] for many years. The gift is really enormous. There's nothing egotistical about saying that because it is a gift." The gift given to her resulted in her being crowned the Queen of folk long before Dylan was the king.
"People had told me about this incredible guy, writing these incredible songs," and when she met him, she recalled he "was just scruffier than I had pictured, he was very scruffy. But, what they had said to me about the songwriting to me was true." Thereafter, their forces came together, but ultimately, they would part and 'Diamonds and Rust' was Baez's look back on the incident ten years after the fallout.
While a song about Dylan may well have made it onto her island, it was a couple of different male troubadours in her record collection. "I listened to Astral Weeks every single night for I don't know how many weeks before I had my son, and I think 'Madame George' was the one I was addicted to," she said of her next choice. "It occurs to me that this is a song that son knows by heart somewhere in his system, whether he's ever listened to it in his conscious life or not."
The last choice was the singer-songwriter Jackson Browne, known for originally penning 'These Days' covered by Nico and more, when he was only 16 years old! However, the song she championed was 'Late for the Sky', she described the record of the same name as "a very beautiful album and one that is pretty well lodged in my heart."
You can check out her full list of choices below.
Eight songs that Joan Baez couldn't live without:
'Salut! Demeure Chaste Et Pure' – Charles-Fancois Gounod
'Goldberg Variations' – Johann Sebastian Bach (Played by Glen Gould)
'O Thou That Tellest Good Tidings' by George Frideric Handel
'Scottish Fantasy – 4th Movement' – Max Bruch (Played by Jascha Heifetz)
'Diamonds and Rust' – Joan Baez
'Madame George' – Van Morrison
'Gypsy King' – Sin Ella
'Late for the Sky' – Jackson Browne

For the last few weeks I have been accepting submission for a new site logo. We had a total of 5 entries and I have chosen a winner. I want to thank everyone that took the time to create a logo.
I love the design of #5 and might use that for other things like a T-shirt or promo materials.
The winner chosen by me is #3 (submitted by worldwideed). I like the overall flow and representation of all the sports. There will be some minor tweaking done with the font, but the overall "look" is great.
The others were also good and it was a hard decision to make, but in the end I could only pick one.
Thanks for holding the contest, it was lots of fun.
Wow, those look great. I agree about the stamp. It would best on promo items.
I like the choice. I will also say that we have some REALLY talented people here on the Bench. All of them are excellent. Glad I didnt have to pick.
nice job ed, and all the others who submitted!
Nice logo Ed. The competition was stiff.
Great job Ed. I also like the stamp entry.
Nice designs, #'s 3 and 5 were impressive! I also liked #4, simple yet caught my eye--I wonder if there is some way we could utilize that design as well in something?
#4 wouldve been steve jobs choice.
Seems like a lot of people like #5 here. How was the winning design chosen?
Thanks again to everyone for the kind words on the designs. The stamp was better conceived that executed. I knew sort of knew what I wanted but couldn't get it to come across. But I think there is really something to work with there if it ever need to be acted on.

Then E.coordinate_ring() outputs a ring with generators.
Is there a way to change the names of these variables at any point in this process?
Note: I have also tried to change the _gens, as well as injecting variables at every stage, but all with the same outcome.
Agreed on the ugly hack.
@tmonteil I un-accepted this answer since it didn't seem to actually change the names. But if I should accept the answer based on the unedited question and ask a new question, please let me know (or whatever the correct thing to do is).


Kit 22 Super Kit includes a selection of the new Posi-Lock Mini connectors (review) and a bonus: extra Posi-Twist connectors! Kit 22 includes a new 10-12 gauge Posi-Tap (yellow) for single tapping multiple wires.
Kit 22 comes in the special Flambeau "Tuff Tainer" series hinged polypropylene box, made in the U.S.A. and ordered specifically for webBikeWorld readers. Extra heavy-duty construction makes the polypropylene Tuff Tainer boxes tough and durable.
The box features a smooth hinged lid that can be detached if desired. The Tuff Tainer box will resist most common chemicals and gasoline and oil.
This box also has the special "Zerust" 5-Year Corrosion Protector that "emits a harmless, odorless vapor that fills the inside of our Zerust tool storage line and forms a protective layer around metal objects during storage", according to Flambeau.
The two larger compartments in the box can be divided with the included poly dividers to make up to 6 compartments to store small items. The box dimensions are 110 x 70 x 29 mm (4 5/16" x 2 5/8" x 1 1/8").
NOTE: Smaller gauge wires will usually fit in a larger sized Posi-Lock and sometimes the smaller wires can be twisted together to fit a larger Posi-Lock also. Experiment!
Remember: Posi-Lock connectors can be used over and over!

This interesting surname is a variation of the Anglicized Gaelic name "MacCana". The Gaelic prefix "mac" indicates "son(of)", plus the personal nickname "cano", meaning "wolf cub". The territory of the Mac Canns was situated on the southern shores of Lough Neagh where they were lords of Clanbraasil in County Armagh. The first recorded namebearer died in the mid 12th Century, (see below). One, Donnell MacCanna was chief of Clanbrassil in 1598. On June 18th 1599 the marriage of Mary McCann and Michael Rilie is recorded in Adamstown, Co.

EXPLORING INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE IN MUSEUM CONTEXTS
The ICOMOS-UK Intangible Cultural Heritage Committee is delighted to invite you to a launch of their report, funded by Arts Council England: Exploring Intangible Cultural Heritage in Museum Contexts.
A Pilot Project involving four museums on Innovative Approaches to Interpreting Collections in different settings and landscapes using Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH)
Thursday, 18th October 2018, 11.00am – 1.00 p.m.
to be introduced by Hedley Swain, Area Director, Art South East Arts Council England
FREE TO ATTEND – RSVP REQUIRED
The Report's key findings highlight how ICH practicing communities – guardians of cultural traditions, collective memories, history, rituals and social practices – and the involvement of artists as intermediaries between the diverse bearer communities and cultural organisations to facilitate an equitable tri-partite curation, are vital to making collections and museum spaces alive and relevant to contemporary society, and why museums need to review and recast their physical and practical boundaries.
Venue: The Gallery, 75 Cowcross Street, London EC1M 6EL
The Pilot Project involved four museums: Hastings Museum & Art Gallery, Weald and Downland Living Museum, Museum of Cambridge, and Peterborough Museum and Arts Gallery, and a diverse range of communities in the South East Region.
The launch will be followed by light refreshments.
Please RSVP to anthea.longo@icomos-uk.org by the 16th October.

1. WCTM students must maintain a 70% average in all areas of study to complete the program.
2. Progress reports will be given at the completion of 350 hours of the 700 hour program.
3. Because cohort groups begin and finish together with our program no student will be allowed to take longer than 1 year to complete the course. Upon student failing to meet the SAP, the course will be remediated by an instructor licensed in the failed subject area. The student will be expected to pay this instructor at the rate of $20.00 per hour until student meets SAP.
4. WCTM Day Classes – 700 hours – 120 days – at the completion of 60 days, 350 hours must be completed. This will be evidenced by hours completed listed on the progress report.
WCTM Night Classes – 700 Hours – 180 days – at the completion of 90 days , 350 hours must be completed. This will be evidenced by hours completed on the Progress Report.
5. The result of failure to maintain 70% average in any subject area will cause academic probation to occur. The student has the opportunity to retake any failed exam within 2 weeks of initial exam with the highest possible grade of 70%. If placed on academic probation the student will have the opportunity to remediate the failed subject area with an appropriately licensed instructor.
6. WCTM offers classes in which cohort groups begin and finish together. All classes are completed together. A withdrawal would only be from the program itself and no credit hours will be given in this case.
7. Any missed or failed test repeat must be taken within two weeks of the original test date or it becomes a zero score.
8. WCTM syllabus does not allow for course repetitions. Satisfactory progress must be maintained within the timeframe for that course.
9. WCTM does not offer non-credit courses.
10. Any appeal to a failed course should be in writing to the administration of WCTM. The appeal will be handled within two weeks of receipt. The result of the appeal will be documented in the students' educational file. Appropriate instructors will be available within this timeframe to remediate the course to the satisfaction of the SAP.
11. 11. According to WCTM's SAP students must complete program within one year of beginning the program, academic probation may not last longer than one year. If the student has not satisfactorily completed the remediated course within the one year timeframe failure will occur.
All policies listed below are created to produce an atmosphere of respect towards one another and the instructors at WCTM. WCTM will maintain an instructor to student ratio of 1 to 12.
• If a student is late for a class 10 minutes or more, it shall constitute a tardy.
• Three tardies in a class shall constitute an absence.
• A sign-in sheet must be retained on file with other class records to include the student's name, signature, date, class title, time in/time out, instructors signature and assistant's signature (if applicable). No class credit shall be given for lost or missing sign-in sheets, or for failure of a student to sign in.
• The basic curriculum does not allow for interruption in classroom hours. A Saturday class may be necessary to make up for hours missed due to unforeseeable extreme circumstances such as severe weather when the school must be closed.
• Saturday classes will be needed to meet timeline for the State test. These classes will be 1 Saturday (6 hr.) a month for the final 5 months of program.
• If a student misses more than 10% of any class for any reason, the class must be repeated or remediated by an approved instructor at the student's expense.
• Leave of absence necessity will be reviewed by administrator on a case by case basis.
A clock hour is defined as comprising a period of sixty (60) minutes, with a minimum of fifty (50) minutes of instruction in the presence of an instructor.
Progress reports will be given to students periodically to inform students of averages in all subject areas. Students must maintain a grade average of 70% or better in all subjects or academic probation will result. A final exam will be administered in all courses of study. Upon completion of all requirements for graduation, the student will be awarded a diploma.
A score of 70% or higher is considered a passing grade. If a student fails or misses an exam, the student is permitted to retake the exam once within two weeks of the initial exam date. The highest score possible granted on a retake shall be 70. Retaking an exam must be coordinated with the appropriate instructor.
All students will be required to wear medical scrubs to class. Scrubs must be clean and neat at all times. Personal hygiene is of utmost importance in the massage therapy profession. Any inappropriate attire will result in dismissal from the current class and time missed must be addressed according to the attendance policy.
Allowed holidays will be posted on the school calendar; otherwise, time missed from classes must be addressed according to the attendance policy.
There will be no eating or drinking in the classrooms or labs with the exception of water.
WCTM maintains a lecture classroom of 400 square feet and a lab classroom of 844.56 square feet. In addition to the lab space, we have access to five additional massage rooms. A break room with microwave and refrigerator is provided for the students. Each student is responsible for properly disposing of any item brought into the building. No food or beverage is to remain in the facility overnight. The use of the break room is a privilege that may be revoked if abused. Each student is responsible for personal and facility sanitation.
City ordinance states that there is no smoking within 25 feet of any entrance of any public building. A receptacle will be placed in an appropriate smoking area near the student entrance. Please dispose of all cigarettes (no paper) in this receptacle.
A receptacle will be provided for the deposit of all cell phones upon entering the building to be picked up during breaks and at the end of instructional session. Phones must be turned off or silenced prior to placing them in the receptacle. There will be NO cell phone use allowed in the classroom or lab without special permission. If an emergency or a sick child is involved, the student may, with the instructor's prior knowledge and permission, monitor their phone.


Hollywood has the best storytellers. And religion has the best stories.
There's creative interpretation that goes into things that aren't directly addressed in the underlying material, and so you always run the risk that people take exception to those stories.
Is it possible to please "those eager for a faith-based film" and "those searching for a 'popcorn' movie" with the same movie? What a challenge. Which asset should you honor — the storytelling, or the story? When the story serves the telling, it's time for popcorn. But what if the story is true? What if it's history? What if "creatively interpreting" the story misleads or brings harm to the viewer? Is that still good storytelling?
Some stories are sacred, and taking liberties violates them. Is it wrong for faith-based viewers to take exception to violated stories? On the flip side, honoring sacred stories often offends the popcorn audience because sacred stories pack a punch, whether conviction or outrage. Not what most people look for in a movie.
Moviegoers will soon get to see Russell Crowe playing Noah. The story of Noah involves the destruction of nearly every person on earth. (You can read that story in the Bible — see chapters 6-9 of Genesis.) How would you resolve the creative tension of telling Noah's story? Would Mr. Crowe still want to play Noah? Who would pay money to see it? Would they leave the theater satisfied? Or convicted?


Rocky Patel's The Edge – Toro Maduro cigar was mild, bland and and nothing to write home about. It is supposed too have wood, caramel and cocoa flavors with a finish that is dry and long with a hint of pepper. I experienced none of that for my $5.60.


Are you a parent of a teenager? Does your teen act impulsively, experience mood swings, or consistently make poor choices? Does he often seem self-centered or lack the ability to empathize? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, join the club. As any parent of an adolescent will tell you, teens can be less than easy to get along with, and will do things that often make you shake your head and wonder what on earth they could be thinking. Over the years, we've come to believe that this is just typical teenage behavior, but research now suggests that the answer may have less to do with "hormones raging" and more to do with the teenage brain itself.
Adolescent brains are most commonly referred to as "immature," a term often used to describe adolescents themselves. This is because the brain is literally still maturing as children hit their teenage years, and typically doesn't reach its full potential until the mid, or even late 20s. In an average human brain, nerves are insulated by a fatty substance called Myelin, which allows them to properly conduct impulses between the brain and other parts of the body. Without this insulation, signals are slower to move. Myelin development begins at the back of the brain, with the Frontal Lobe being the last portion to receive proper insulation. What does the Frontal Lobe control? You guessed it: Basic executive functions such as impulse control, reasoning, judgment, planning, and the ability to empathize.
This explains, at least in part, why teenagers act the way they do. While this information can be worrisome, especially where good decision making is concerned, there are a few benefits. For one thing, the changing brain means that a student's I.Q. is still quite malleable into the teen years. An aptitude test done in the 3rd grade will not necessarily have the same results when done 8 years later. It then makes sense why some experts refer to this stage of brain development as "use it or lose it" time. The teenager's neurological hardware is essentially being rewired, which is an ideal time for learning. Therefore, whatever teens focus their mental energy on will solidify and become easier. This is good news for the student who is spending his time studying music, reading, focusing on academics, or playing sports. Not so much, however, for the student who plays video games and does nothing all day. Take care to make sure your teenagers engage in stimulating, healthy activities during this important stage in their development. Once it's over, it's much more difficult to re-wire the brain, and thus un-learn potentially harmful behavior.

For such a picturesque and unspoilt country, Croatia is really well set-up to invite holidaymakers, with both the people and the culture embracing all ages. What most families come to Croatia for are the beaches and the history. One minute you can be paddling in the clear water looking out to a smattering of islands, and the next you'll be in awe of an ancient fortress or amphitheatre so well-preserved it's been given UNESCO status.
You might prefer to stay in a large resort with everything on hand, or your idea of holiday heaven could be staying on a car-free island that your family will have virtually to yourselves. Both options are possible in Croatia and much more in between.
Take a look at our guide to find out about the most family-friendly destinations in Croatia. We also cover what there is to see and do, from waterparks to palaces and boat trips to caves.
Although you could take your pick of resorts along Croatia's nearly 1800-kilometre-long Adriatic coast, there are some tried and tested areas that we know families love.
Istria is a large peninsula in northern Croatia that has excellent family facilities and attractions including two waterparks. If there are any history-buffs in the family, they'll appreciate Pula, Porec and Rovinj – three of the most ancient and picturesque towns in the Mediterranean, that lie on Istria's western shores.
Both Porec and Rovinj have old towns that jut out into the sea and are looked over by a magnificent church. Pula is the largest town in Istria though and has some of the best examples of historical structures in the whole of Croatia, most notably, Pula Arena.
Porec's Pical Beach can be reached in 10 minutes on the tourist train that heads south towards Spaidic. Stop off and stay to enjoy the kids' playground with a wooden ship and sand pit, hire watersports equipment and refresh at one of its bars or restaurants. Or for more space, stay on the train and head to the resort of Zelena Laguna, which has many bays and small peninsulas over 10-kilometres of coastline.
Rovinj comes complete with a series of small pebbly coves that lead south from the town, the closest being Lone Bay, which is a 15-minute walk. There aren't many facilities here but the views back to Rovinj old town are very attractive.
Among the six largest amphitheatres in the world, Pula Arena is the only remaining Roman amphitheatre with four staircase towers and much of the walls still standing. Not bad as it was built over 2000 years ago. Staying true to its roots, the arena still hosts theatre productions, sports events and concerts, but even when nothing's on the kids can try out the incredible acoustics by shouting their hearts out from the centre.
Aside from taking in history, families will love the choice of waterparks in Istria. Aquapark Aquacolors Porec is the largest in Croatia, with 12 giant water slides totalling over a kilometre in length and the longest lazy river in Southern Europe. The kids have their own pool with small slides and loads of play areas out of the water. Or try Aquapark Istralandia for 20 different slides, the largest wave pool in this part of Europe and a pirate's castle and mini slides.
Just south of Porec in Funtana, Dinopark is a theme and show park for those who love all things Jurassic. As well as moving dinos, rides and play areas, there are regular circus and acrobatic shows. Or to get out of the sun for a bit, head underground to the Baredine Grotto, nine minutes' drive from Porec. You can take a 40-minute tour through the rock formations and spot albino lizards.
Location is everything in the Makarska Riviera, which is located in the centre of Croatia's coast, within easy reach of both Dubrovnik and Split. As well as having some of the best beaches in the country, the islands off the coast here up the ante with world-leading shores, and the kids will love the boat trips to get there.
Brela is a peaceful spot to make your base with pretty coves of white sand bordered by huge boulders for climbing over. As well as seaside activities and wandering through town there's an interesting mix of old architecture, from 16th-century houses to a fortified tower. Or stay at the pretty, marina town of Tucepi for a laid-back pace and traditional Croatian lifestyle.
Brela's main beach, Punta Rata, although pebbly, has sand at the water's edge. There are plenty of activities going on, like tube rides and beach volleyball, as well as a good number of cafes and restaurants. Or stroll away from town and stop at any one of the small coves along the way for solitary beach time.
Over in the centre of Split, the sandy Bacvice Beach is popular with families as it's equipped with games, restaurants and bars. Or stroll a little further to Ovcice beach with a kids' playground and trampoline.
But for arguably the most stunning of all Croatian beaches you should head to the island of Brac and specifically Zlatni Rat Beach. Regularly topping most beautiful beach in the world lists, this triangular shaped spit of sand has trees in between where you'll come across the remnants of a Roman villa rustica – a large old countryside estate.
Many of the things to do are based around nature in this part of Croatia. One of Brela's most intriguing attractions is the Biokovo exhibition at the Natural Park Presentation Centre, which tells of Croatia's history through displays of zoology, botany, geology and fossils.
With a series of underground streams and springs around Brela, it's no wonder that there are some large caves here. Down in the Mervidina cave you might even be lucky enough to see an endangered Mediterranean Monk Seal.
And for a mix of the old and new, explore the 4th-century Diocletian's Palace in Split, which was built for a Roman Emperor as a retirement home and parts of which now house shops and restaurants.
Perhaps the first place that springs to mind when we think of Croatia, Dubrovnik is a worthy destination for your family holiday, or an easy trip from your base in the Makarska Riviera. Its old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and, as you walk along its fortified walls, it's easy to see why with so many beautiful ancient buildings still intact.
Banje is Dubrovnik's city beach, which is a fairly small area of sand and pebbles where you can dip your toes between sightseeing, but it has some inflatables to keep the kids happy. The best beach in this area of Croatia or families can be reached on the number six bus in 10 minutes. Lapad Beach has shallow waters and lots of facilities including showers, as well as a bouncy play area.
Among Dubrovnik's ancient buildings in shades of white and terracotta are five forts and 16 castle towers that the kids will love playing knights and princesses in, and you can give them a history lesson too.
A sure hit for all the family is a cable car trip rising 700 metres into the hills, with immense views across Dubrovnik and the surrounding islands. When you head back there are lots of charming restaurants to eat at with seats on rock plateaus outside the city walls right by the water.
Many boat trips are available from Dubrovnik but that car-free island we mentioned earlier is a fine choice for a day trip – that is if you're not actually staying on the island. Kolocep Island only has around 165 inhabitants in its two villages so wandering around its hidden beach coves or staying in a hotel here is a peaceful pleasure.

Compiling this blog post I realise I've read a lot of comics this month. I have to some extent been saving my brain space for learning Japanese before the big trip to Tokyo, which is now three weeks away (eek!).
I am enjoying winter so far – perhaps because it's been mostly dry. I love a cold, dry day. It's lovely to be outside in it, but it's even better to be indoors looking at it! And of course, the long dark nights are a great excuse for curling up on the sofa with a book or TV show.
I love this series. Room-mates Susan, Daisy and Esther are still battling through their first year of university. This volume opens during the Easter holidays. Esther has decided to drop out, so Susan and Daisy travel to her hometown of Tackleford (the main setting of Allison's ongoing web series Scary Go Round) to talk her out of it. Hijinks and bonding ensue.
This volume is preoccupied by romance: break-ups, the aftermath of break-ups, the hint of something new. There is a corresponding lack of the surreal weirdness that usually characterises Allison's work, but the story and in particular the girls' friendship are so sweet and wonderful that I love it just the same. It's adorable and it makes me happy.
We've been preparing for our holiday next month with some reading and language practice. Can you guess where we're going?
Last weekend I went to visit my parents in the Forest of Dean and took advantage of the lovely weather to go for some long walks in the countryside. From Littledean we walked uphill to some fields overlooking the River Severn (above) and from there past Blaize Bailey to Soudley Ponds, which we hit just as the sun was setting (below).

Dear Jim Autry,
Thank you so much for your incredible work!
Sunday's poem was especially touching--The Invitation. I caught the last name of the poet (Flowers) but didn't catch the first name.
I had pulled into my driveway & had to sit, idling to listen until your segment was over!! When I finally made it to the computer to look up a copy...
I found another, rich poem titled The Invitation , but it was by Oriah Mountain Dreamer. (Feel free to share that one, too, if you'd like!)
Could you please let me know the full name of the author? I would love to share that poem.
Again, thank you so much. You enrich so many with your daily works! Usually, when I'm driving home from taking my son to school,
I enjoy your 8:00am offerings, but KFMG is always on in my car!
Love & Respect,
