Initiative is the term used by Sida for projects and programmes. In this text we describe the overall process of applying for support for an initiative, from concept note to agreement on contribution. The process for applying for support may vary slightly depending on type of support.
1. Concept note or initial application
2. Sida reviews basic requirements (Appraisal Plan)
3. Submission of a full application
4. Sida makes an in-depth review of the proposal (Appraisal of Initiative)
5. Decision on Contribution
6. Agreement on Contribution
Applying for support
Sida's process for applying for support, from concept note to agreement on contribution.
Following an initial dialogue between Sida and an intended partner the partner might be asked to provide a concept note. It should outline what the initiative intends to achieve and the vision for how this change will be made (i.e., objectives and theory of change or initiative logic), as well as a draft budget.
The concept note helps Sida determine the proposal's relevance in relation to a Strategy and clarify the added value of the initiative.
All initiatives have to meet the following basic requirements before Sida initiates the process of appraising a full proposal:
The initiative must be relevant in relation to a humanitarian/development Strategy issued by the Swedish Government. Another precondition is that there is room in the Strategy, both strategically (contributing to the Strategy objective and in comparison with other Sida financed initiatives within the same Strategy) and in terms of available means.
All organisations seeking Sida financial support must be aligned with Principal values for Sida and cooperation partners.
The organisation must be a legal entity that is entitled to hold rights and obligations towards Sida, and the partner(s) may not be listed in the EU Consolidated List of Sanctions.
If a proposed initiative includes parties that operate on the European Single Market, EU State Aid Rules must be applied to ensure the prevention of unfair competition between economic actors in Member States.
Sida has grounds to exclude financing for certain activities. Sida does not finance activities which include: the production of weapons, illegal drugs, tobacco, extensive alcoholic beverages, commercial gambling, destruction of areas with high conservation or environmental value, the promotion of pornography, the promotion of racism or the promotion or production of antidemocratic media.
Sida only funds initiatives considered to be aid according to the OECD/DAC definition of aid.
Please note that even if these preconditions are met, Sida cannot always initiate new partnerships or appraise proposals.
Principal values for Sida and cooperation partners (pdf, 122 kb)
Consolidated list of sanctions on the EU web page
To perform a comprehensive appraisal Sida needs a full proposal. It could be a programme document, a strategy or similar documents. Sida does not provide any templates but expects partners to use their own format, tools and methods.
If Sida has determined that a proposed initiative meets the basic requirements, we will perform a comprehensive appraisal of the initiative following an established process.
The appraisal phase provides Sida with an opportunity to learn more about the potential partner, and the partner receives clarification regarding Sida's requirements and expectations.
The appraisal concentrates on five assessment areas:
Perspectives and development effectiveness
Objectives and theory of change, including ownership and sustainability
Partner Capacity
Sida performs a risk assessment, and proposes a follow-up plan. During this phase, a draft Agreement is also prepared, and discussed with the partner.
The comprehensive appraisal forms the basis for the decision on whether to support the initiative.
The decision is a formal document through which Sida decides to support the initiative with a financial contribution. The Decision includes a brief clarification explaining why Sida decided to support the initiative.
Once a Decision on Contribution has been made, the partner and Sida sign the Agreement. The Agreement on Contribution is the document that formally sets out the requirements and commitments placed on Sida and the cooperation partner.
Updated: 15 December 2020
Sida's selection of partners follows an established process. On this page you can read more about how it works.
Sida is Sweden's government agency for international development cooperation.
Sida's partner is responsible for monitoring and implementation of ongoing initiatives. Sida will also follow-up.

De Caroní is de tweede belangrijkste rivier van Venezuela, de tweede grootste rivier qua debiet en een van de langste, met 952 km vanaf de tepui Cuquenán, waar ze ontstaat met dezelfde naam: de Cuquenán (Kukenán), tot haar samenvloeiing met de Orinoco, tot welks bekken ze behoort.

De naam Caroní krijgt ze vanaf de samenvloeiing van de Cuquenán met de Yuruani, op 182 km van de bron van de Cuquenán en 770 km van haar uitmonding in de Orinoco. De ontmoeting heeft plaats in het zuiden van Venezuela, in de staat Bolivar, zijnde de belangrijkste zijrivier van de Orinoco voor wat betreft het debiet. Het hogere bekken van de Caroní bevindt zich in de Gran Sabana (Nationaal park Canaima, in Venezolaans Guayana) in de buurt van de grens met Brazilië.

Hydraulisch regiem
De Caroní is een van de rivieren met het hoogste debiet ter wereld, in vergelijking met haar bekken. Haar gemiddeld debiet is rond de 4.850 m³/s, met variaties veroorzaakt door de wisselingen tussen droog en nat seizoen. Haar gemiddeld maximum debiet is 6.260 m³/s en het gemiddeld minimum is 3.570 m³/s. Onder de historische extremen bevinden zich 17.576 m³/s en 188 m³/s. De Caroní voert 15,5% aan van het debiet van de Orinoco. Een van de karakteristieken van haar water is de donkere kleur, veroorzaakt door de hoge niveaus aan humuszuren van de onvolledige ontbinding van het fenolgehalte van de vegetatie. De Caroní behoort daarom tot de zwartwaterrivieren, zoals de Rio Negro.

Het bekken van de Caroní
Het bekken van de Caroní beslaat meer dan 95.000 km² en maakt deel uit van het Orinocobekken, de belangrijkste rivier van Venezuela. Dit betekent voor de twee grote rivieren veel op elkaar lijkende hydrografische karakteristieken. De Caroní zelf en haar zijrivier de Paragua zijn rivieren met een trap, met dien verstande dat vele vallen en stroomversnellingen afwisselen met stukken van langzame en zachte helling, met veel meanders en hoefijzervormige meren (afgesneden meanders). Onder de belangrijkste vallen van deze rivieren en hun zijrivieren moge genoemd worden de waterval van Ángel (Salto Ángel), met de grootste hoogte ter wereld (bijna 1.000 m vrije val) en de waterval van de Cuquenán (tiende op de wereldschaal, met 610 m vrije val) en vele andere met minder hoogte maar een flink debiet, zoals de watervallen van de Río Caruay en van de Río Aponguao en ook in de Aponguao de waterval van Torón, en in de Caroní zelf de watervallen van Eutobarima, van La Llovizna en van Cachamay, deze twee laatste net voor uitmonding van de Caroní in de Orinoco.

Waterkracht
De Caroní is, vanwege haar bijzonder hoge debiet (met een jaargemiddelde van 4.850 m³/s) en haar hoge verhang zeer geschikt voor de opwekking van hydro-elektrische energie. Er zijn vier waterkrachtcentrales in haar verloop: de Macagua I, II en III in de omgeving van haar uitmonding in de Orinoco, op een 30 km daarvandaan de Caruachidam, de Tocomadam en als vierde de Central Hidroeléctrica Simón Bolívar in de engte van Necoima of Necuima, op bijna 80 km van Puerto Ordaz. Door deze laatste stuwdam, de Guridam, ontstond het reusachtig grote stuwmeer van Guri, met een oppervlak van 4000 km², midden in de rivier. De waterkrachtcentrale van Guri heeft een vermogen van 10.000 MW en is nu de op twee na grootste van de wereld, na de Drieklovendam in China (22.500 MW) en de Itaipudam in Brazilië (14.000 MW).

Nationale Parken
In het hoge deel van het bekken van de rivieren die de Caroní vormen (Aponguao, Cuquenán en Yuruaní), ontvouwt zich de Gran Sabana of grote Savanna die deels behoort tot het Nationaal park Canaima.

Toerisme
Het bekken van de Caroní is een van de spectaculairste en mooiste van de wereld, ideaal voor avontuurlijk toerisme: een landschap van bossen en savanne, ontelbaar veel watervallen en stroomversnellingen, diepe canyons en hoge plateaus, snel stromende rivieren met bijzonder schoon water (donkergetint, bijna zwart, als ze diep zijn), stranden met roze zand, enz. Onder de meest notabele van het bekken van de Caroní, vanuit toeristisch oogpunt gezien, zijn de watervallen van de Aponguao, van de Kama (Kama Meru in de Caraïbische taal Pemón), Eutobarima (in de Caroní zelf, alhoewel moeilijk te bereiken) en het stuwmeer van de Guridam, de parken van de waterval van de Llovizna en de Cachamay in de Ciudad Guayana, de Auyantepuy met de waterval van Ángel en de magnifieke kloof van Kavak, de tafelbergen van de Roraima en de Cuquenán, enzovoort.

Opinion / Fernando Augusto Pacheco
Friends reunited
It has become commonplace to describe Sex and the City as outdated and lacking diversity. But I am looking forward to the series revival, And Just Like That… (pictured), which is out this week. This is partly due to nostalgia for the precocious teenager that I was when the original series was released. There was something compelling about the first season in particular; it was witty and unlike anything I had seen on TV.
I related to the story of the friendship between Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda; it felt liberating, especially in the way that they discussed sex. For a young gay man like me there was something fascinating about the series and, while there are valid criticisms of the show, for me it connected on a deeper level. It made me feel that to be gay was acceptable.
Sometimes I find myself defending their first film (though I keep quiet about the sequel). It was a major blockbuster and, while it received a mixed critical reception, it's worth noting that there were very few female-led or female-centric stories among the major Hollywood films of the time. The original series might show its age today but that's an inevitable occurrence with old films, shows and books. It doesn't undermine the fact that the series helped to break taboos and, most of all, that it was fun. Now the story continues with the characters in their fifties instead of their thirties. While there will be no Samantha this time – and we will miss her dearly – I say bring on And Just Like That…
Justice / Myanmar
Yesterday's sentencing of Myanmar's ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi is the latest sign that the country's military junta has no plans to compromise with those seeking a return to democracy. The 76-year-old was found guilty on charges of breaking coronavirus restrictions and inciting dissent. While her four-year sentence was commuted to two by the country's military leader, Aung San Suu Kyi (pictured) faces nearly a dozen charges, which have been condemned by much of the international community as politically motivated. The Nobel peace prize recipient was detained during a military coup in February, which sparked mass protests and led to a crackdown by the junta. "The military's approach to changing people's minds [about their desire for democracy] has been to shoot them," Ronan Lee, a visiting scholar at Queen Mary University of London's International State Crime Initiative, told Monocle 24's The Briefing. "They've murdered more than 1,000 people since February. This will either be won by the military or those who want democracy. There will not be a compromise between the two."
Politics / Canada
Age-old debate
Deliberation about the minimum age at which a person should be allowed to vote in Canadian elections has been rekindled. But unlike most such discussions, which are typically led by governments or political parties, this time it's being spearheaded by the young themselves – and they're using the legal system to do it. A group of 13 teenagers from across the country have launched legal action against Canada's federal government, seeking to lower the minimum voting age from 18 to 16. They argue that current law contravenes the country's constitution, which enshrines the right of "all Canadians" to cast a ballot in national elections and does not explicitly state a minimum age.
Canada's legal voting age was last amended in 1970 when it was lowered from 21 to 18. Opponents argue that 16 is too young for fully informed decisions to be made; advocates point out that the sooner a person participates in the democratic process, the better. Could this be a generational change?

F&B / Tokyo
Star for the course
Food lovers won't be surprised to know that Tokyo has come out tops again for star ratings in this year's Michelin Guide. Some 203 restaurants are given stars in the 15th edition of the guide to the Japanese capital, more than any other city. Hiroyuki Kanda won the new "mentor chef" award for dedication to training younger professionals. His restaurant, Kanda, has been a three-star fixture since the first guide was published in 2008; it's an award that he says, "changed my life and the world around me". Another new award, for good service, went to Mayuki Arai from Hommage, a French restaurant in Asakusa at which the staff wear kimonos. And 35 new restaurants were added to the more than 200 restaurants in the "Bib Gourmand" list, where good-value soba, oden, ramen and tonkatsu restaurants are to be found. These have been tough times for the hospitality industry but Japanese chefs are still giving it their all.

Changing the landscape
A restoration of the Hirshhorn Museum's Sculpture Garden in Washington has been approved following a two-year clash between the institution and preservationists. The Hirshhorn (pictured) tapped Japanese architect and photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto to reimagine the space in 2018 but some architecture historians oppose the renovation – which includes new open-air galleries, improved accessibility and the expansion of a central reflecting pool – because they fear it will alter the brutalist building's original design. Although the museum agreed to some alterations to Sugimoto's plans, such as reconstructing the partition wall with concrete to match the original design, critics believe that they don't go far enough. The result "demonstrates that nationally significant works of landscape architecture, especially important modernist designs in the nation's capital, continue to be held to a different standard," says Charles A Birnbaum, head of the Cultural Landscape Foundation, a US non-profit. Sugimoto, meanwhile, sees his renovation as the opening of a new chapter. "This is a new job for me to negotiate with history," he says.

Chynoweth testing the market as WHL trade deadline looms
Kootenay Ice general manager isn't willing to make any deals that won't benefit the club.
With the WHL trade deadline fast approaching, Kootenay Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth is still waiting for the right dance partner.
While other teams have made some deals down the stretch, Chynoweth isn't ready to sign off on anything unless the right terms come along.
"There is some interest in some of our older players, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're going to get a deal done," said Chynoweth. "There's a lot of tire-kicking right now and we're not going to make a deal for the sake of making a deal. We got to make the best deal for this organization moving forward."
With a 2-1 win over Edmonton on Tuesday, the Ice have climbed out of the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, as the Wheat Kings now occupy the basement.
The key to the Ice right now is their potential—the club will that much more dangerous as those younger players in all areas of the roster continue to develop.
Despite their youth, the Ice have been playing well as evidenced by their six consecutive wins, which has been possible because of noticeable improvement individually and as a team.
When the Vancouver Giants began to struggle right out of the gate, head coach Don Hay and general manager Scott Bonner blew up the roster in an effort to build for the future, dealing away star defence man David Musil to the Edmonton Oil Kings for Mason Gersteen and a first-round draft pick.
Vancouver also sent away Austin Vetterl to the Ice in exchange for a pair of prospects, and also dealt away Nathan Burns to Saskatoon for Travis McEvoy and two draft selections.
While the Ice were struggling at the same time, including a season-worst eight-game losing skid, Chynoweth kept things intact, but added Vetterl and Zach McPhee, giving up a draft pick to Everett.
While coming down the deadline stretch, other teams have been busy with some notable recent trades involving Kamloops picking up a veteran 20-year-old in Kale Kessy to bolster their roster, giving up Rob Trzonkowski and a draft pick to Vancouver.
Swift Current also added some youth to their roster, picking up Jay Merkley from Lethbridge in exchange for Josh Derko and a draft pick.
"I think the prices are high," said Chynoweth, pointing to the two Vancouver deals that sent Musil to Edmonton and Burns to Saskatoon. "I think the prices are there, but you also have to find a willing partner.
"One of the things that doesn't help, is sometimes you have a limited number of teams you can deal with and that has separated itself in the last few days."
For his part, Ice defenceman Joey Leach knows there is always the possibility of getting moved on deadline day, but doesn't allow those kind of thoughts to cloud the way he wants to play.
"Obviously that January 10th date is in your head, but you can't worry about it because you got to go out and play the game, so I think we've proven that," said Leach, a 20-year-old in his final year of eligibility. "…You can't have it in your mind otherwise you can't play the game."

What Can We Expect from the 2021 Olympics?
BySam
The Olympic Games are an event that attracts people from all corners of the world; its magnitude and glamour make it one of the most prestigious and popular events in the world, alongside the football World Cup. It features a wide variety of sports, as well as people who like to cheer for their national team in front of their TV screen. However, we missed this event in 2020 due to the global situation presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Everyone was heavily preparing for the competitions, but the entire Olympics had to be postponed for 2021. What can we expect from the 2021 Olympics then?
First of all, even though it was a completely justified decision, we cannot say that it did not come as a surprise, as prior to that, there have only been three occasions on which the Olympics were not held, and all of the three times it had happened because of the World Wars – in 1916, 1940, and 1944. Having had such a long streak, it was a huge shock to everyone that it had come to this. However, we cannot say that it was unjustified; there was hardly any knowledge on how to efficiently manage the outbreak of the virus. We are in a far better position to organize such an event now, even though it may raise a few eyebrows regarding the overall safety of everyone involved.
One of the biggest questions in the new reality that has accompanied the pandemic is whether there will be any fans in attendance. Of course, last year, the answer would have been no, but we have seen significant improvements in that field, especially with the COVID vaccine that is successfully being applied all over the world as we speak. Even though hosting and safely managing fans from all over the world, the IOC has faith that such a thing will be possible at the 2021 Olympics.
Economic prospects
The world economy has already suffered a lot because of the pandemic, and Japan by no means escaped the financial strain. The Tokyo Olympics are said to be the most expensive ones yet, with over twenty-five billion dollars being in the game. The whole pandemic delay could have only added a couple of billions to the total count. Of course, this was not an unwise investment, as it was predicted that the Olympics will generate a lot of revenue for Tokyo, as well as Japan in general. However, it is unsure how many fans and tourists Japan will host during the Olympics, because of the international regulations regarding travel and the overall enthusiasm that people have for traveling in light of the pandemic.
Of course – each and every one of us would like to go back to the way things were as soon as possible. The reality of things, however, dictates that it may not be such an easy task to do. We still have to go a long way before we have beaten COVID. That being said, we have a far better idea about what we can do to keep it in check; in a way, we can have our cake and eat it, too. While we cannot expect that the Olympics will be held as usual, we should be very glad that we have still managed to find a way to maintain this spectacular tradition.

So now the space probe Juno's gone and swung past the Earth, building up a little extra speed on its way to Jupiter and becoming the fastest man-made object that isn't just trying to escape something embarrassing it said in an online forum, so I hope nobody's left on it anything they wanted back anytime soon. These planetary flybys are really neat ways of getting a space probe to travel faster even though you can explain why it works to a bunch of freshman physics majors and they'll still stare at you the way a Labrador retriever stares at the glass coffee table hoping that maybe this time the potato chip you tossed on it will fall through.

Victoria mayor calls on feds for more social housing dollars
The memories from Bernice Kamano's painful past are still fresh in her memory.
Kendra Wong
The memories from Bernice Kamano's painful past are still fresh in her memory.
Kamano was just nine months old when she was taken from her mother and father and placed in the foster care system in Vancouver.
"I was a sick child. My mother took me to the hospital. Because my mother was aboriginal, I was apprehended," said Kamano, who was a keynote speaker at the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness' annual general meeting at the First Metropolitan United Church Tuesday.
For years, she jumped from home to home, never having a stable roof over her head.
As a child, she has very vivid memories of her experience living in an orphanage. Kamano's picture was published in a local newspaper asking for people to adopt her — though she never was. On another occasion, children in the orphanage lined up and adults would choose which child to take out on a day trip.
"It was a painful life. I pretty much had no family and lived alone, isolated and abandoned," said Kamano, adding she battled addiction when she was older. "That pain never leaves you. People think you should get over it, but you don't. It's part of who you are. But what the pain doesn't do anymore is take you out."
Now, the 67-year-old Victoria resident is standing tall and living in a home she can call her own.
"It's really nice to be secure. Living in foster care all the time, the concept of living in a home wasn't really a part of my reality," Kamano said. "But now that I am in a home. It's my place and I can do what I want."
Kamano, a member of the Kwakwaka'waka Nation, is currently using her own experience to help the aboriginal homeless community and help end homelessness in Victoria.
At the AGM, Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps also kicked off a new homelessness awareness campaign, calling on the federal government to increase its investment in social housing by 0.6 per cent.
"We can see this stepping back — ongoing homelessness, people who are housing in increasing housing need, unstable housing, increased health and social service costs, death due to lack of shelter," she said. "All we need is to increase the investment in social housing to 1.6 per of the federal budget and we can solve the problem."
There needs to be 367 affordable housing units to end homelessness in the region, according to the coalition.

Growing older does not have to be a bad thing. Many people dread the aging process and the effect that is has on the body. Some people experience the appearance of fine lines or wrinkles and these things can instantly make them look older. Aging is a natural part of life and it does not always have to be a negative thing. Below are a few anti aging tips that people can take in order to preserve their youthful appearance.
Do Anti Aging Creams Really Work?
People tend to see wrinkled skin as a sign of infirmity or ill health. In fact, skin that has begun to wrinkle is usually nothing more than part of the natural aging process. There is a certain aesthetic factor to it all, and finding wrinkles on your body can make you feel older than you actually are. If you are noticing more wrinkles, you may be looking for ways to improve your skin condition so that you don't end up creating more wrinkles by worrying about the ones you already have.
Is It Safe To Remove My Age Spots?
Sun worshippers, take note. The power of sunlight to "heal" the body is true to an extent, as there are biological elements in the light spectrum that can be seen as beneficial, specifically vitamin D. However, other elements in sunlight can be very harmful to the human body if the skin is over-exposed. The ultra-violet band is especially problematic. Over-exposure to this band of the light spectrum can eventually lead to chronic skin disorders, up to and including skin cancer.
One of the best ways to ensure that an individual gets top-notch, anti-aging treatment is by making sure they choose the best doctor and anti aging clinic possible. Individuals should make sure that they choose a doctor that they trust that will give them the best treatment possible. Patients should have a high level of respect for their doctors and doctors should showcase a high level of knowledge when it comes to the services that they are providing. Individuals can take a few small steps to ensure that they choose the best overall anti aging clinic and doctor.
What Anti Aging Products Should I Use?
If you're one of the millions of people today who are concerned about improving their health, you may be wondering just how you can go about changing your daily life to accomplish this. Maybe you've become curious because of all the news reports about new illnesses and diseases that are threatening your ability to survive, let alone maintain your health. Maybe you're concerned about your children's future chances of being able to live their lives without worrying about the same health issues you do. Or, if you're like the many who are interested in fighting the effects of aging, you are beginning to understand the connection between nutritional elements and improved health overall.
Will Anti Aging Vitamins keep Me Young?
The process of aging begins the moment we are born. The elements that comprise the structure of our skin, muscles, bones and organs need to be replenished every day. Otherwise, cells won't regenerate, tissue won't repair itself and the downward spiral toward old age quickens its pace.
The human body endures a great deal of stress in a lifetime. Just the physical exertion required to take care of the business of living every day has enough of a degenerative effect to decrease a person's longevity by 10 years. This is especially true in today's fast-paced and high-stress environment, where the added mental and emotional challenges of keeping up with the ever-changing world around us can take years off of an otherwise healthy person's life.
What Medicines Slow The Aging Process?
Like it or not, aging is a fact of life. Our bodies, because they are organic, are vulnerable to degeneration. We do not have the same resilience as a sheet of 2-inch-thick steel alloy, for instance. Yet this fact should not discourage anyone from trying to ward off the effects of aging, not necessarily out of vanity but out of a desire to feel as healthy as possible while retaining optimal cell and tissue growth function and, as a bonus, to fight illness and disease.
Anti-Aging has been providing anti aging tips, recommendations and resources since 1997. Our mission is to help you slow the aging process so you can age gracefully and naturally.


Raima Sen is the daughter of Moon Moon Sen and the grand-daughter of legendary actress Suchitra Sen. Raima Sen's sister, Riya Sen, is also in the Bollywood industry. Their father is Bharat Dev Varma, scion of the erstwhile royal family of Tripura state.
Raima Sen's paternal grandmother Ila Devi, was the princess of Cooch Behar (in Bengal), whose younger sister Gayatri Devi is the Maharani of Jaipur.
Raima Sen made her debut in the film Godmother, which was a critically acclaimed success, but her minor role may have been overlooked in favour of the protagonist, played by Shabana Azmi. Raima Sen then starred in the film Daman playing Raveena Tandon's daughter, where her small performance was appreciated.
Her breakthrough role came when Raima Sen starred in the Rituparno Ghosh's film Chokher Bali. She won much praise for her role as the simple, submissive Ashalata. After a few more average movies Raima Sen had a critically acclaimed hit in 2005 with Parineeta, where she played the playmate of the film's heroine, essayed by the debutante Vidya Balan. Since then Raima Sen has had two more hits with the action thriller Dus and the Bengali film Antar Mahal (where she had a very small role). Most recently,Raima Sen appeared in the film The Bong Connection (co-starring Shayan Munshi).
Raima Sen has signed her first Tamil film and she is expected to do more south Indian films. Raima Sen has yet, however, to play the leading role in any hit movie.


From a very early age, I knew that I wanted to be in healthcare. After becoming a single parent, I decided that I would focus my energy on becoming a nurse. It has truly been one of the best decisions I made in my lifetime and I remain happy that my path led me to nursing.
As a practicing Nurse Practitioner, I wanted a program that would allow me to obtain my educational goals while working and caring for my family. A majority of programs would require me to drive long distances in California and I simply did not want to be away from my family for long periods of time. Furthermore, the academic standing of the UA College of Nursing is one of the best in Arizona and the nation. After conducting research about the faculty, I decided to decline another program and attend UA.
During my time at UA I have taken several palliative care courses. The combination of geriatrics and palliative care have improved my current practice. As a provider in an acute care setting, the ability to care for geriatric patients as a vulnerable population and include palliative care practices in the ICU setting continues to allow me to provide the best care for my acutely-ill patients.
The faculty of University of Arizona are truly amazing. As healthcare providers we care for others as they battle with physical and mental illness. Graduate school can often be a trying time physically, mentally, and financially for many students. During my time at University of Arizona, the faculty at the College of Nursing not only care for their community but care for their students as well. The encouragement, support and caring that I have received from the faculty demonstrates the importance of not only caring for others but for those who are in our profession as well.
I will continue to mentor nurse practitioners long after I graduate from University of Arizona. In addition, I am a dedicated member of California Association for Nurse Practitioners. I will continue to strive and work with others in order to facilitate full practice authority for nurse practitioners in California. The importance of healthcare access and quality care continues to be problematic and requires leaders in nursing to pursue answers to the US healthcare crisis. Healthcare inequalities for those with limited access must remain an important subject for providers. Furthermore, I would like to work to improve racial inequalities in nursing programs and increase minority presence in positions such as nursing program faculty, healthcare administrators and in possession of advanced degrees.

'Railroading & The Automobile Industry' by Jeff Wilson
PLS, shorthand for Pack, Load and Ship, is a line-item on the financial statements of almost all manufacturers and many distributors. It refers to the actual expense of packaging products, loading them onto a delivery conveyance and the cost of shipping or delivering them. PLS adds nothing of value to the product or consumer's conception of the product and reduction of PLS expense is an ongoing quest for smart manufacturers. Doing so will either add to their profit or allow them to improve the actual product in some way to make it better or more competitive.
PLS varies greatly, depending on what business you're in. At Rohm and Haas Co. in the 1970s, injection-molding grade, bulk pelted Plexiglas - mostly sold in 300-pound fiberboard drums or 1200-pound cardboard totes mounted on wood pallets - averaged 3%. At my plastics display company - where customer orders were smaller and always varied: "Gimme three dozen of this and six of that and sixteen of the other thing." - our PLS averaged around 10% for products shipped in cardboard cartons partially-filled with protective foam peanuts.
This book is all about PLS as it relates to inbound auto components or outbound finished vehicles at automobile assembly plants. This 96-page, large format (8.2" x 10.8") paperback book contains about 200 photographs (a mix of b&w and color) and tells the history of rail shipping automobiles and component parts.
In the early days of the automobile, most were shipped in boxcars, in fully-assembled form or in knock-down semi-finished kits for dealers to finish. In 1920, railroads carried 70% of all new cars. In 1932, the Evans Autorack permitted boxcars to hold four cars using a hoist system to elevate automobiles. By the 1940s, improved roads and more powerful trucks, which could carry more cars, made over-the-road delivery more competitive. In 1946, only 40% of new cars were shipped by rail. The largest rail carriers were the New York Central and its subsidiary, Michigan Central Railroad.
The first shipment of new 1946 Hudsons left the Detroit plant in September, 1945 and were loaded into New York Central Railroad boxcars. An Evans-style autorack can be seen lifting a Hudson to provide extra space.
Railroads were slow to respond to the competitive challenge of over-the-road trucking. Railroads were often tardy in delivering cars to end terminals, especially if multiple railroads were involved, and had inefficient and inadequate shipment tracking systems. By 1958, only 8% of new cars shipped by rail. The railroads responded by developing special bi- and tried-level open rack freight cars to carry automobiles. Faced with vandalism issues, these cars were modified with side panels. Eventually, fully-enclosed 89-foot cars were developed to protect the merchandise and carry it in a cost-effective manner. By 1969, 52% of new cars travelled by rail.
Today, there are about 50,000 auto carriers - most are fully-enclosed - used by railroads carrying 1.5 million carloads of finished vehicles annually. Generally, rail shipment is more cost-effective than truck shipment when distances of 350 miles or more are involved.
The author is quite knowledgeable and much else is covered in the book, including rail-traffic management, in-plant railroading (mostly switching, shifting and shuttling) shipping of components, the effect of just-in-time inventory management on rail freight service. At many plants, boxcars are brought inside and stationed at concrete platforms for component unloading near the actual assembly point. I've seen this set-up in operation at Ford's Chicago assembly plant as well as at several GM component manufacturing plants.
Verdict: Recommended. I found this book most informative and interesting as well. Both car guys and train guys will find much to enjoy. (Review copy provided by Kalmbach Publishing Company) (posted 2/21/19, permalink)

Arghhh!!! Save yourself, the end of the world is nigh – the apocalypse is here, doomsday is approaching, HEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!
Okay, well, that's certainly ONE approach to tackling the concept of Islamic eschatology and the End Times, which the Prophet spoke so regularly about. Perhaps not the most productive, however!
In sha Allah this article will address the view that many seem to be discussing nowadays – that we are in the end times – and find themselves dragged in the mire of doom and gloom as we continue to witness the Ummah struggle around us.
Are we REALLY in the End Times?!
Recently, there seems to be increased awareness and fascination with the end of the world. People of many faiths are starting to think the signs of the last day are all around them, with Christians pointing to some biblical prophecies coming to light, or Jews now 'back' in Jerusalem, anticipating the return of their 'Messiah'.
And, looking at some of the prophecies to be fair, who can blame people for thinking this way?
News headlines bombard us with devastating natural disasters, endless warfare, ongoing suffering, and repeated violence and oppression. It perhaps comes as very little surprise that many people feel the end is near.
After all, just looking amongst some of the signs – particularly those dubbed 'the minor signs' – many, if not all, seem to have come to pass.
Are We Seeing The Minor Signs of Qiyamah?
Let's take a look at a few examples from the culture within which we live in today.
Here's a list of 'minor signs' compiled 1,400 years ago (which I took from ibn Kathir's 'The Signs of the Day of Judgement'). Now, ask yourself, which of these have yet to surface?
Widespread fornication and adultery – Marriage rates are at their lowest ever.
Widespread acceptance of usury and interest – Just look at world debt and the monetary system today.
The Bedouin Arabs competing in building tall structures – Easy to see. Just look to the Middle East and Dubai.
Alcohol consumption being widespread – I don't think any of us would deny this!
The children will be filled with rage – We're reading so much about gang crime and high school killings and the like, and even children who are aggressive towards their own parents.
Loss of Islamic knowledge / the mosques will be grand structures but devoid of knowledge.
An increase in earthquakes – This again is another quite clear sign that has come to pass and is gaining frequency.
Widespread killing and bloodshed – Whether we look at the global situation or closer to home, it's definitely happening on a huge scale.
Women who are clothed yet naked / Men will look women and women will look like men / Men will lay with men and women will lay with women – The advent of gay marriage would seem to suggest this is definitely here to stay and grow.
Time will move quickly – Time is definitely passing us by far quicker than it used to.
Singing and dancing will become popular / people will dance into the night – Look at MTV and the nightclubbing phenomenon.
Immoral deeds will be committed openly.
This only scratches the surface. Seriously. We just need to look at some of the facades around us that have pervaded every aspect of our lives – agriculture, the monetary system, health, education, relationships, family ties, etc.
Everywhere we look, with consumerism, secularism and atheism as prevalent as they've ever been, it is clear to see that our world has never been as chaotic and confusing as it is right now.
Eeek! So What Now? When Do I Start to Panic?
Now, now, hold your horses.
What's easy to do in these times is get bogged down in the negativity, or feel helpless, or have a ready-made excuse with the notion that there's nothing really that we can do – after all, everything is predestined.
Let's not do that. Have a look at the following hadith, which is incidentally one of my favourites.
This hadith is one that has always inspired and motivated me, and one that drives action, action, action.
If the world is coming to an end, why should I plant a palm shoot?
Good question. Why should I go to so much trouble for a tree that will not bear fruit?
Surely, if the Hour is on our doorstep, one would think we should concentrate on prayer, more worship or something, right? But no. What is the underlying lesson here?
One of the lessons we can learn from this powerful hadith is that Muslims should learn to contribute under ALL circumstances. No matter how tough the situation, we must pull our fingers out, so to speak.After all, what more difficult circumstances could there be than the end of the world, eh? In the hadith, the Prophet said even if the Day of Judgement is happening before our very eyes (even if there's one second to go!), we should still finish the job at hand and stay productive until the very, very end. Therefore, not even the grave repercussions of the Hour are an excuse for us not to contribute to society and to benefit humanity at large, subhan Allah. The timing is never 'just' right – shaytan will always inspire a million and one excuses. If you are waiting for the perfect condition to start working for Islam, it may never materialise. But hang on a second, isn't this in fact the perfect condition? It's in the time of crisis that you can contribute most, that you are most needed, that you can influence and cause impact and affect change.Just because conditions have changed and are not as pleasant as they used to be, it's not time to get all negative. On the contrary, now is the time to recapture and revive the spirit of our Muslim ancestors who operated under much harder conditions, but with a very resilient and positive attitude, until the last moment of their lives.
At the end of the day, the 'fruits', so to speak – even if they can't be enjoyed in this life – will be there in abundance in the Hereafter. This is the mindset we should deploy, In sha Allah.
The effort required to harmoniously place the seed into its rightful place into the earth so that it may fulfil its purpose and grow and benefit others is an act of goodness. Because of this, we must strive to do it with the utmost excellence (ihsan). The fruits of planting a seed are not only the fruit yielded when it branches out and eventually blossoms. The effort to place every stone in its rightful place is in itself a fruit – an end result – a job well done. Let us recognise each milestone and celebrate the successful completion of each stage. Reaching the final destination is not the actual aim, but to walk on the path toward the destination with the grace and dignity that destination deserves, knowing you have done your absolute best. Allah knows everything.This positive orientation is evident in elevating the mastery of one's work to the level of obligation and worship. Remember, the outcome is not the objective, but to tread the steps leading to the objective with delicacy, diligence and care. After all, how can those who cannot give their all whilst travelling to the destination ever deserve to reap the full rewards upon their arrival?
The attitude of constructive positivity and active endeavour is one of the core principles stressed by the sunnah. This productive spirit should control the Muslim's mind, senses, nature, thought, and, through it all, his conduct. It symbolises interest in one's deeds rather than verbal eloquence and rhetoric. It lays great importance on construction rather than destruction, and in lighting candles rather than cursing darkness. We have to remember, even in these tough times, we are blessed to be Muslims and the blessings of Allah are infinite. We have also been given all the answers to life's quandaries in the Qur'an and sunnah, Alhamdulillah. What more do we need?
The hadith above then continues to say:"The man said, 'Nothing, except that I love Allah and His Apostle.' The Prophet said, 'You will be with those whom you love.'" [Al-Bukhari]The Muslims had never rejoiced as much they did when they heard this hadith.
If you are able to do so, you can study the science of Islamic Eschatology (the study of the end of times). Amid all of this worldwide confusion, being able to recognise the signs and get some clarity about the reality of the world you inhabit can certainly be no bad thing.
Learn Surah Al-Kahf [Qur'an: Chapter 18], study it and recite it every Friday.
Abu Darda' reported Allah's Apostle as saying: "If anyone learns by heart the first ten verses of the Surah Al-Kahf, he will be protected from the Dajjal." [Muslim] Study the tafsir and you'll soon see the link between the two – it really is the surah to help us understand the modern age!
Do not calibrate your courtesy according to the world's finite nature. Do not construct your morality upon momentariness. Do not let your hesitation be a hindrance to your doing a good deed.
But as Muslims, if you remember to plant your seedling, then you can always, always, always be productive and contribute to making the world a better place, In sha Allah.
The rest is up to Allah .

Quality Church Furniture Since 1942
King Church Furniture, located in Dothan, Alabama, was opened by C.W. King, Sr. in the early 1920s as King Furniture Manufacturing Company. Mr. King began by restoring and refinishing antique furniture and later grew to the manufacture of reproduction antique furniture. In the mid-forties, a local church commissioned Mr. King to manufacture the pews for their new sanctuary and history was made.
In 1946, Mr. King (Uncle Charlie) changed his business to the manufacture of Church Furniture. The long experience of crafting and refinishing household furniture worked hand-in-hand along with the manufacturing and restoration of Church Furniture. Uncle Charlie and his sons, C.W. King, Jr. (Buddy) and Phillip worked together in the business for many years. In 1992, Jimmy King, Uncle Charlie's Great-Nephew, became the sole owner of King Church Furniture, Inc.
Jimmy began working at his Great Uncle's furniture business around the age of fourteen. He would work after school and on week-ends sweeping the floor and doing other odd jobs. When he was old enough to drive, Uncle Charlie had Jimmy drive him to sales meetings. After college, Jimmy continued working with the family business as a salesman and later as the general manager. Now, as his family business's owner, he continues the work of generations past.
His many years of experience coupled with his dedication to maintain his family's legacy of manufacturing Quality Church Furniture provide our customers with the optimum service, knowledge and commitment available.
In 1996, King Church Furniture moved from its original location in Napier Field to its brand new 21,000 square foot manufacturing plant. We have continued to build and grow as a company. Our facility now encompasses more than six acres and 68,000 square feet of manufacturing and storage warehouses.
To date, King Church Furniture, Inc. has furniture installations in thirty-three of the forty-eight continental United States, Washington, DC, Freeport, Bahamas, Canada and Japan – an amazing accomplishment for a small, family business in Dothan, Alabama.

It-s the final weekend of action before we go into overdrive for the Hyundai A-League 2011 Finals Series. With the top six almost secured only Newcastle Jets can take away Wellington-s second successive finals series birth. With Brisbane Roar and Central Coast already in control of their destiny the six will only fully be decided on the last day of the regular season.
Week 27 also marks the start of the Hyundai A-League 'Cottee-s Back To School Round- a program timed to coincide with Australian school children returning to school, with the aim of the round to help promote the benefits of football in helping kids to lead active and fun-filled lifestyles.
Week 27 is a blockbuster weekend of football with key match ups including Adelaide United-s clash with arch rivals Melbourne Victory at Adelaide Oval, Melbourne Heart hosting Sydney FC and the M1 Derby of Premiers- Brisbane Roar versus Gold Coast United in a match that puts the focus on flood affected Queensland in a stadium that only weeks ago was devoured by flood water.
This is the Official Preview for Week 27 of the Hyundai A-League 2010/11 season. Please note squads are subject to change.
In: Leigh BROXHAM (returns from injury), Archie THOMPSON, Surat SUKHA, Carlos HERNANDEZ. Out: Luke PILKINGTON, Unavailable: Kevin MUSCAT (suspension), Billy CELESKI (injured), Grant BREBNER (injured).
•	A win by Adelaide United would secure third place for the Reds, meaning that the bottom three teams from last season-s Hyundai A-League ladder (Adelaide, Brisbane Roar and Central Coast Mariners) would be the top three teams on this season-s final ladder - a scenario that has never come close to happening before in Australian national league history.
In: 7.Zenon CARAVELLA (return from hip injury), 13.Bas VAN DEN BRINK (return from ankle injury), 26.Ben HALLORAN (promoted), 34.Sung-Kil KIM (promoted). Out: Nil. Unavailable: Bruce DJITE (hamstring injury - 1 week), John CURTIS (shoulder injury - season). 10.Jason CULINA (knee injury - season), ROBSON (hamstring injury - 4 weeks), Joel PORTER (calf injury - 2 weeks), Daniel PIORKOWSKI (ankle injury - indefinite), Matt OSMAN (knee injury - season).
•	With a home W-D-L record of 9-5-0, Brisbane Roar is set to be the first team in Hyundai A-League history to have completed a regular season undefeated at home should Gold Coast not win this weekend. While an undefeated home record occurred several times in the old NSL (1977-2004), never before has a Brisbane team achieved this feat. •	This will be the Brisbane Roar-s first home match since securing the 2010/11 Premiers- Plate, the first time in Australian national league history that a Brisbane team has ended a season on top of the ladder.
•	Having scored in each of their previous 17 home matches, the Central Coast Mariners are aiming to maintain the Hyundai A-League-s longest run of home matches without being scoreless. The last time the Mariners were held to no goals at home was on 31-Dec-09 (L0-2 v Wellington).

Is Whey Protein Vegetarian?
Claire Muszalski
Whey protein is a popular supplement for many reasons. It's widely available, comes in different forms (pre-mixed, powdered, isolate, etc.) and tonnes of flavour options — and it's really easy to glug down on the go. Whey protein is also one of the most well-researched supplements in terms of benefits. Athletes and non-athletes use it regularly for a variety of reasons, including building or retaining muscle mass, increasing power and strength, and even weight loss.1 So, can vegetarians enjoy a creamy shake too? The short answer is yes – whey protein is vegetarian.
Why is whey protein vegetarian?
Foods that are from animals directly — like chicken breasts, ground beef, or turkey (meat) — are what vegetarians choose to avoid. However, most vegetarians consume products that are made by animals or from animal products. While these decisions are personal and may be different from one vegetarian to another, many will still eat chicken's eggs or honey made by bees. The category of dairy products, made from cow's milk, is a primary source of protein for many vegetarians who don't eat meat.
People who follow a vegan diet would most likely choose not to consume whey protein, as they avoid both animal products and products produced by animals (e.g. milk).
What is whey protein made from?
Remember "Little Miss Muffet" from the children's nursery rhyme? She sat on her tuffet eating her "curds and whey" — maybe she was trying to build muscle! Whey protein is one of the major components of milk, and is derived from the liquid that separates from the curds during the process of making cheese. This natural by-product of cheese production accounts for about 20% of the protein in cow's milk.2 However, whey remains low in lactose content which makes it easily digestible.
There are three forms of whey protein sold on the market — whey concentrate, whey isolate, and whey hydrosylate.3 The liquid that's left from the cheese-making process is refined further, removing water, fat, and lactose content, leaving the powder we'd recognise as whey concentrate. Whey isolate and hydrolysate are processed even further to a more concentrated form (isolate) and then broken down into smaller amino acid chains (hydrolysate), which can have other benefits of quicker of absorption and digestion.3
What are the different types of vegetarianism?
Not all vegetarians exclude or include the same foods in their diets, but there are three general "categories" of vegetarianism:
Lacto-vegetarian: includes dairy products in their diet, but not meat, pork, or poultry
Ovo-vegetarian: includes eggs in the diet, but not meat, pork, or poultry
Pescetarian: includes fish in their diet, but not meat, pork, or poultry
Some vegetarians allow combinations of these foods in their diets. For example, some may identify themselves as "lacto-ovo-vegetarians" who eat dairy products and eggs, or "ovo-pescatarians" who eat eggs and fish, but not dairy products.
Vegetarian protein sources
1. Dairy
Most vegetarians do consume dairy products, and they can be a staple protein source in their diet. Many dairy products are rich in high quality protein — yoghurt, cottage cheese, milk, cheese, etc. These products are also available in varying degrees of fat and added sugars, which gives a lot of options for healthier protein sources.
Eggs are another common source of protein when they are part of the diet, but do have higher fat and cholesterol content than low-fat or fat-free dairy options.
If fish is a part of a vegetarian diet, it opens a wide range of options from low fat to omega-3 rich protein sources like salmon.
4. Plant-based sources
In addition to eggs, dairy, and fish protein sources, vegetarians ideally consume a wide variety of plant-based protein sources as well. Beans, peas, soy, and lentils are high in protein and commonly available. Some whole grains (like quinoa or brown rice) are rich in protein, and many fruits and vegetables contain protein in small amounts that add up throughout the day.
What about plant-based protein powders?
Plant-based protein powders are also available on the market. Many are made from soy, rice, hemp, or pea proteins. Often plant-based proteins don't contain all of the essential amino acids (the ones our body can't make on its own), but whey protein does. While plant-based protein powders have become much more common options in the last few years, whey is still more widely available and typically lower cost.
"Vegetarian" can mean a variety of things to different people who try to limit animal foods in their diets. However, whey protein is made from milk, which is an animal product, and not from meat, generally making it appropriate for vegetarian consumption. The accessibility, convenience, and proven benefit of using whey protein as a supplement make it an easy choice to add to your routine — whether you follow a vegetarian diet or not.

Stainless steel is a non-corroding steel alloy, where the additional chrome, nickel and manganese give the metal its "stainless" character.
withstands damage from impact and knocks, and is also acid-resistant. High-quality stainless steel pots and pans are provided with a special heavy bottom of copper or aluminium, often with a final steel coating, which means they conduct the heat.
If you need to use boiling salted water (for example for pasta or vegetables) in a stainless steel pan, only add the salt when the water actually boils. This avoids spots of corrosion on the pan base.
Stainless steel is ideal for browning large pieces of meat at high temperatures. If you warm up the empty pan for a short time before adding oil or fat, sticking or deposits will be prevented.
Dry your stainless steel utensils immediately after washing – this prevents spotting.
Follow our other care tips to make sure that your stainless steel cookware retains its typical silvery sheen.

Norway's intelligence agency has launched an investigation into whether a Norwegian citizen was involved in last month's terror attack on Kenya's Westgate Mall.
"PST has received information that a Norwegian citizen of Somali origin may have been involved in the planning and execution of the attack," the agency said in a statement on Thursday. "PST has decided on this basis to initiate an investigation."
The agency said it had sent officers to Nairobi, where they would work with Kenyan police.
"The enquiry will primarily be aimed at helping prevent new terrorist acts and [determining] to what degree the Norwegian... was involved in the attack," it said.
The Star, a Kenyan newspaper, has reported that Kenyan police now believe that the attack was at least partly planned in Norway.
According to the newspaper, police investigating the attacks have written to the Norwegian Embassy requesting assistance locating a Somali refugee still living in Norway.
"He is well known in Daadab [a refugee camp in the north of Kenya]. We think part of the planning was done in the camp," a police source told the newspaper.
The Somali insurgent group al-Shabaab has claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack, which left at least 67 people dead.
According to VG newspaper, the Norwegian Somali Kenyan police have requested help locating is not Ikrima al-Muhajir, another Somali who has spent time living in Norway, who was the target of a US raid against Somalia last week.


Thank you so much for letting this stylish, cosy Tack Barn with all the books on the local art and surrounding countryside. You made us very much welcome. It would be great to return in the summertime to have the benefit of the lovely wild garden, the terrace and the hammock - still, we had a sunny week. The concert in London was amazing and so easy to get to from here - you have been a great host!
We had a wonderful long weekend at Corina's place. The barn is beautifully decorated, really stylish and comfortable, and the woodburner was particularly cosy and appreciated for a winter weekend! Corina provided loads of local tips for walks, pubs, places to visit and we loved exploring the area. Thank you Corina, we hope to be back before too long!
Our 4 night stay was brilliant. Firstly Corina and Dominic were the best hosts, so helpful with local advice and places to visit during our stay, and always on hand to answer questions. The barn itself is beautiful, very cosy in winter with a log fire, super clean, secluded/private with a lovely view out onto the fields - exactly what we needed. Also practically located - just far enough off the main road to be quiet and feel rural but close enough to lots of great places to walk/eat/drink/visit. Would definitely recommend and we'd love to go back.
A true gem. Corina was beyond hospitable, offering up some local recommendations ahead of the trip, and the home manual is full of amazing recommendations for things to do, places to see, and dining options. The barn itself was lovely, clean and located on picturesque grounds. Would absolutely love to return!
Tack Barn is beautiful! We spent 4 nights here to get away from London and it was a gem! Stunning inside and out, spacious yet cosy and lovely views! Perfect relaxing weekend. Corina left us a lovely welcome basket of treats and flowers around the barn which was unexpected but such a nice touch. If you are after a relaxing get away I couldn't recommend the barn more!
The Tack Barn is just lovely. Stylish, cosy, quiet and a wonderful place to relax and rewind. We could have done with a few more days! Corina and Dominic are the loveliest hosts, and are very approachable if you need anything when there. The weather wasn't great when we were there, but we took the opportunity to explore Brighton and also a chilly day down at the coast walking to the seven sisters. Lewes is a short drive away and is a lovely place to spend an afternoon. We will most definitely be back, hopefully when the weather warms up!
It should be true that good design, especially in a home, comes from the heart. The Tack Barn says so. The creativity of work here is both generous and accessible, you can feel it. Blending the woods, the water, the quiet harmony of growing flowers, grazing animals and glass, print, steel and technology, has been done with warmth and wisdom.
Spending just a brief time here has been a delight. Corina's welcome and her attention to practical details underpins the spirit of the place. Thank you.
I've stayed at the Tack Barn perhaps a dozen times, for both work and pleasure. When I'm not there, I dream of it almost daily: the view across the small lake/large pond, the help-yourself vegetable garden in summer (arthichokes! kale! asparagus!); the wood burner and naked trees in winter. The hosts are charm personified and the location hard to beat. Close to Lewes and Glyndebourne, closer still to ancient forests. I'd say go as soon as you can, but leave some nights spare for me.
Near lovely Lewes this is a super stylish bolthole: garden lovers, antique hunters, walking devotees will adore it here; as will more sybaritic souls. Hop into the hammock; help yourself to veg from the garden; tuck into a brimming goodie basket (home-laid eggs, local bread, orchard fruit).
Inside this newly converted stables light floods into a lofty open-plan kitchen/living space: a smart sofa and chair face the wood-burner (logs on the house) and the swish kitchen is kitted out for foodies. Eat inside or pop through French doors to the wrap-around deck and gaze out to the pond. Spot quirky touches at every turn – tea towels, table cloths, lampshades – many made by local craftspeople on site; visit the workshops too. Your bedroom is calming, the bathroom up-to-the-minute, and the whole place is eco-smart.
Coddled by woods and fields there are walks from the door; heaps of National Trust gems to visit, Glyndebourne close by, so too Great Dixter but the gardens here are also special. Corina, who lives at Upper Lodge, has a keen eye for design and knows her plants: note the katsura tree – its leaves smell of burnt sugar!

Lime Has Taken Over JUMP's Bike and Scooter Business
What Does That Mean for the Sacramento Region?
Post May 28, 2020
May 28, 2020: On May 7, micromobility company Lime announced a $170 million funding round, led by an $85 million investment from Uber. The deal folded Uber's JUMP e-bike and e-scooter business into Lime's operations. Since then, a chorus of local users have been asking, what does that mean for the Sacramento region, where both JUMP and Lime had operated scooters pre-Covid-19?
The short answer is that we don't yet know. Since Lime has taken over JUMP's business, we know JUMP bikes and scooters will not reappear on the streets of Sacramento, West Sacramento, and Davis. Lime is examining the operations of all the markets where it has taken over from JUMP and has not announced any plans yet. As Lucas Frerichs, Davis City councilmember and SACOG board chair said: "Lime is just getting up to speed on the Sacramento region operations and SACOG has begun discussions with them. We look forward to working with Lime with the goal of continuing what is one of the most popular shared bike operations in the country."
Lime's chief policy officer David Spielfogel told SmartCitiesDive, "We're going to fully integrate the JUMP assets and operations. Obviously we are a micromobility company, not a scooter company, so having the addition of those bikes is very helpful. And they're deployed around the world. So we are excited for many of the cities we already service to now have a bike option.
"The plan is for full integration, and we're already hard at work on that. It takes a little time, certainly on the technical side, but that's in full swing."
Stay tuned for more because as we get firm information from Lime, we are keen to share it with the region's micromobility fans.
