In class, Bihar does improve but remains way behind rest of country
As per available data, while Bihar shows an improvement in the pupil-teacher ratio between 2009-10 and 2013-014 from 57 to 51, it remained far below the national average which changed from 32 to 26 in the same period.

A look at education statistics shows poll-bound Bihar has remained below the national average on key parameters under the Right to Education Act, unable to meet some of the crucial norms mandated by the flagship legislation.
A comparison of data between 2009-10 (the financial year before the RTE was introduced) and 2013-14 (the latest available data with the Ministry of HRD as part of a review of the fourth year of the Act) shows that while the state did improve its performance marginally on some counts, it performed worse than the national average on most.
The RTE, which came into effect on April 1, 2010, provides for free and compulsory education for all children in the age group 6-14 and lays out norms and standards for pupil-teacher ratios, school infrastructure, teacher availability and other related areas in elementary education.

As per available data, while Bihar shows an improvement in the pupil-teacher ratio between 2009-10 and 2013-014 from 57 to 51, it remained far below the national average which changed from 32 to 26 in the same period. The Act mandates an optimal student teacher ratio of 30:1 in primary schools and 35:1 in upper primary schools. In case of primary schools with students above 200, the Act says, the ratio should not exceed 40:1.
In Bihar, the proportion of primary schools (government) with a PTR higher than the mandated 30:1 was as high as 84 per cent in 2013-14, down from 86 per cent in 2009-10. The national average for this statistic was 33 per cent in 2013-14, a significant improvement from 46 per cent in 2009-10.
As high as 86 per cent upper primary schools (government) in Bihar had a PTR higher than 35:1 in 2013-14, as against the national average of 31 per cent. In terms of student-classroom ratio, too, Bihar has remained below national figures. However, the state has performed at par with the national average in aspects like proportion of girls, SC/STs and Muslims in the total enrollment.
Under infrastructure, the RTE also calls for separate toilets for boys and girls. Bihar nearly doubled the percentage of schools with separate girls' toilets between 2009-10 and 2013-14 from 38 to 70 but remained lower than the all India figures at 59 per cent and 85 per cent in the corresponding years.
In 2013-14, only 44 per cent of teachers in Bihar had the requisite professional qualification, almost half the national average of 80 per cent.
The Act had given three years for attaining various norms it specified, and five years for professional qualification of teachers.

Ueno Park, Shinjuku Gyoen National Park and Asakusa & Sumida Riverside have another post.
Sakura started to open on 25 Mar!
Full-Blooming Photos Updated on 31 Mar!!
Please go down to see the latest information.)The season of cherry blossom (sakura in Japanese) is approaching. It's late March to early April.Sakura is the most popular flower in Japan. It is used for school symbols, Japanese uniform, Japanese traditional arts, and so on. When cherry blossoms bloom, it's very beautiful like pale pink fog. They have good images because they flourish when long cold winter ends. School & office year starts in April in Japan, so sakura is also the symbol of farewell and start.I took this photo in Chidorigafuchi (the district around Imperial Palace) some years ago.
Take Tozai Subway Line from Otemachi to Kudanshita (the 2nd station). Go out from Exit 2 led to Budokan and so on.
It is not impossible to walk with exploring the breathtaking views of Imperial Palace, but it'll be kind of training.
Other than Tozai Subway Line, Hanzomon Subway Line is fine. Get off at Hanzomon Station and go out from Exit 3.
I write this post based on the route from Kudanshita and you will go in the reverse way from Hanozomon. It doesn't mean you start from the "exit". This route is as good as the opposite.
Chidorigafuchi is one of Tokyo's awesome cherry blossom spots and definitely my recommendation to view cherry blossoms. The reason is that Sakura Festival is not crowded, compared with Ueno Park. Moreover, the place itself is beautiful. Neighbouring Kitanomaru Park is outstanding, too!
Around 100 cherry trees got damaged by the heavy snow of this February.
The government worker responsible for this garden says he will care the trees.
I don't know the damage is serious or not. I hope it's OK.
I'll report it when I visit there. Whenever I get some info, I'm going to update all about Chidorigafuchi & Imperial Palace on THIS post.
Everyone is waiting for warm spring!
Weathermap, a Japanese private weather forecasting company, announced that cherry blossoms will start opening on 25th 26th March in Tokyo. The best day to view sakura will be 2nd 4th April.
Their definition of "start opening" is, "the first day when 5 or 6 blossoms of the tree of Japan Meteorological Agency's Standard open". That of "the best day (= full-bloom)" is "the first day when 80 % open in the tree of Japan Meteorological Agency's standard".
They also update their forecast. In 2013, they changed their estimate on 15 March, the day before 16 March when cherry blossoms started blooming. Last year was an exception as they say, but it is true that there isn't any forecast that will never be wrong.
Whichever you have booked a travel to meet sakura or not yet, let's wait for spring with relaxing like sakura's color.
Weathermap changed their forecast a bit on 6 March. The start-blooming day will be 26 March. The best day will be 4 April 31 March in Tokyo.
Cherry trees in Chidorigafuchi are safe!
I visited there to see whether they got damaged badly or not. Nothing is wrong. They are all safe.
The government people's words were too big, as far as I see it.
This is the same place where I took the first photo on this post some years ago. Most trees around the pond are cherry trees.
The building behind is Indian Embassy. You see, it is a good district.
Sakura has many kinds. This is a kind that blooms early.
the avenue is like this. All the trees are cherry trees. Moreover, other flowers flourish on the ground in spring.
This is Yellow Plum blossoms I took in Kitanomaru Park.
You will pass beside Nippon Budokan (an old judo & kendo stadium used for concerts as well. it is rent for entrance ceremonies of universities just when it is sakura's best days) and Kitanomaru Park to go to Chidorigafushi. The park is so beautiful, but quite large. Its entrance gate is very Japanese and attractive, but it was under renovation today… It might be completed before the best season.
You'll start from here. Chidorigafuchi is a beautiful path around the pond of Imperial Palace.
You won't miss it because Sakura Festival Comitee people are all around here.
When it is full-bloom, the path is like an arch of pale pink cherry blossoms.
There is a deck for viewing, which is DEFINITELY THE BEST SPOT!
You can rent a rowing boat here to view sakura from the pond.
I saw a lot of sparrows today… They are considered to be cute birds traditionally in Japan.
I'm happy you are excited to wait for the best day!
The forecast changed. The best day will be 2nd April in Tokyo.
Japan Meteorological Agency announced that sakura started to open on 25 March.
The best day will be 31 March.
I will visit some sakura spots as soon as possible and upload photos.
I'll update tomorrow, so don't miss it!
It cannot be more beautiful… It's like a fantasy.
I want you enjoy photos rather than writings.
Going out from Kudanshita Station, it's like these. Blooming.
Tokyo Tower is seen from the avenue.
You'll start strolling Chidorigafuchi from here.
Let's go up this post to compare the same place. It is crowded, but it is just the entrance. When I proceeded, it was not as crowded as this.
The building behind is the Indian Embassy in Japan. If you have something to do in the Indian Embassy, it's so easy to remember the location!
The deck is like this when cherry blossoms are full blooming.
Tip: The cherry blossom lighting is until 10:00 p.m.
This is the Entrance Gate of Kitanomaru Park, the large park around Imperial Palace.
Imperial Palace was once a samurai clan's castle. When Yedo period, samurais' era, ended, the royal family moved from Kyoto to the vacated castle in Tokyo.
The Gate has finished renovation before cherry blossom season. Good.
I'm so happy to share this beautiful day here!
For people whose travel schedules are a bit late, I prepared another post about another aspect of sakura. Don't be disappointed. Keep checking!
AccommodationHotels near Tokyo Station – Imperial Palace is near Tokyo Station. You take Tozai Subway Line or can walk. There are fabulous hotels including Shangri-La Hotel Tokyo, Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi and retro & modern The Tokyo Station Hotel.
Thanks, meet next year again!


The US Government has published as a draft for public consultation a National Fish, Wildlife and Plants Climate Adaptation Strategy. The goal of the strategy, which is not an operational plan but does provide themes for new policy and program initiatives, is to "inspire and enable natural resource administrators, legislators and other decision makers to take action to adapt to a changing climate." The Strategy has been prepared by an interagency task force with state and aboriginal participation. One of the lead participants is the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies which includes Canadian Federal, Provincial and Territorial members as well as ngos.
Conserve habitat to support healthy fish, wildlife and plant populations and ecosystem functions in a changing climate.
Manage species and habitats to protect ecosystem functions and provide sustainable cultural, subsistence, recreational, and commercial use in a changing climate.
Enhance capacity for effective management in a changing climate.
Support adaptive management in a changing climate through integrated observation and monitoring and use of decision support tools.
Increase knowledge and information on impacts and responses of fish, wildlife and plants to a changing climate.
Increase awareness and motivate action to safeguard fish, wildlife and plants in a changing climate.
Reduce non-climate stressors to help fish, wildlife, plants, and ecosystems adapt to a changing climate.
The Strategy includes a second and third level of detail, including lists of projects and policy opportunities to achieve the suggested goals as well as some recommendations to reprioritize existing funding to help achieve goals. Engagement of the private sector is also discussed in many of the action recommendations.
Details, including webinar and physical consultation events, are available at http://www.wildlifeadaptationstrategy.gov/public-review-draft.php The deadline for comments is March 5, 2012.

United States Naval Station Orange, later Texas Group, Atlantic Reserve Fleet and US Naval Reserve Orange was major United States Navy shipyard in Orange, Texas on the Sabine River. The shipyard opened on August 24, 1940, to manage the construction of 24 landing craft. To support the shipyards the navy built new naval offices, barracks and civilian housing. The Navy built twelve piers in the Sabine River at the Base. U.S. Naval Station Orange also worked with the civilian shipyards in Texas during World War II. Major civilian shipyards were: Consolidated Steel Corporation, Levingston Shipbuilding Company, and Weaver Shipyards. At the end of the war in November 1945 the shipyard was closed and the base was turned into the Texas Group, Atlantic Reserve Fleet with 250 ships.

Atlantic Reserve Fleet, Orange
The freshwater of the Sabine River was good place for a Reserve Fleet. The Atlantic Reserve Fleet, Orange was part of the United States Navy reserve fleets. For the Korean War, 40 ships were removed from the Reserve fleet and restored at the shipyard. The Texas Group was disestablished on October 1, 1966. The site became a Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility (ISMF) with only 197 ships stored on site and most of the work done by civilian contractors. Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility closed on December 28, 1975. It took five years to remove all ships at the yard. All that remains is 18 acres for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps Reserve Training Center. The other land was sold to the American Bridge, U.S Steel, Lamar State College, Orange and Orange County Navigation and Port District.

Historical markers

A historical markers are at the site to remember the former large Navy Yard.

The United States Naval Station Orange marker reads:
Orange, Texas has a long association with the U.S.Navy. Its shipyards build 39 destroyers, 93 destroyer escorts, 106 landing craft, and numerous other vessels in World War II. Orange was home for 250 "Mothball" ships of the Atlantic Reserve Fleet after WWII. Forty of these ships served in the Korean War.
During 1974, the Navy began phasing out the fleet berthing operation. By the latter part of that decade, all of the ships were gone. In 1975, Naval Reserve Centers located in Beaumont and Lake Charles were disestablished and the selected reservists were assigned to a consolidated site in Orange.
The 18.5 acres that remain in the Navy's hands are the site of the present U.S. Navy Reserve Center, Orange, Texas.

Next to United States Naval Station Orange was Bethlehem Sabine Shipyard.

The Riverside Addition Housing Project marker reads:
The second World War catapulted Orange into a period of unparalleled industrial growth. In 1940, as the nation prepared for possible entry into the war, the U.S. Navy Office of Shipbuilding placed orders with three shipyards: Levingston Shipbuilding Company, Consolidated Western Steel Corporation and Weaver Shipyards. Production continued to grow after the U.S. entered the war in 1941. Countless jobs had been lost during the Great Depression, and the potential for steady work brought thousands to Orange. The influx of workers increased the city's population from 7,400 in 1940 to more than 60,000 by the end of the war. To meet the resulting critical housing shortage, the federal government started the Riverside Addition Housing Project in 1942. Located along the Sabine River, Riverside Addition was within walking distance of the shipyards, thereby complying with fuel and tire rationing demands and maximizing wartime production. The fan-shaped site soon included thousands of "demountable" (prefabricated) duplexes, considered to be temporary. Expanded with an addition in 1943, the vast Riverside housing area had three elementary schools and also spawned local businesses. At the time, Riverside Addition was the largest federal housing project ever undertaken. After the war, the government sold, moved or demolished many of the units. The city of Orange never took control of the development due to concerns over inadequate infrastructure. Removal of the last houses took place in the 1980s, and today there are few physical reminders of the project that proved vital to the home front mission during World War II.

The Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility marker reads:
At the termination of World War II, the United States had the largest naval force of any country in history. Prudent military leaders decided against scrapping surplus vessels, in favor of preserving them so they could be activiated quickly in case of emergency. In August of 1945, the Department of the Navy announced that Orange would be one of the locations for the storage of reserved vessels. The abundant fresh water supply of the Sabine River made Orange an ideal location for such a facility, because of the necessity to minimize marine growth and corrosion. Also, the existing shipyard adjancent to the site could be used for repair and maintenance of the "mothballed" fleet. However, it was still necessary to construct a berthing area for the inactive ships, and a permit for the construction of twelve piers was obtained. The facility was named the U.S. Naval Station, Orange, Texas, in November of 1945. The first vessel to report for inactivation was the USS Matagorda, which arrived on November 5. When the Korean War began in 1950, the facility reactivated over thirty ships, after which many were returned for storage. The facility United States Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility at Orange was one of fifty-two to be chosen in 1961 by the Department of Defense to be closed or phased down. The facility remained operable, but the military presence was reduced to twenty-five officers and enlisted men, and large numbers of civilians were hired to continue operations. On December 28, 1975, the Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility at Orange was closed. By 1980 all remaining vessels were transferred to other locations, sold to foreign nations or sold for scrap.

[110], At Cholet on 17 October, the Republican army won a decisive victory over the Vendée rebels, with the remnants escaping into Brittany.

These victories led to the collapse of the anti-French coalition; Prussia made peace in April 1795, followed soon after by Spain, leaving Britain and Austria as the only major powers still in the war. The French Revolution was a watershed event in modern European history that began in 1789 and ended in the late 1790s with the ascent of Napoleon Bonaparte.

[163], To illustrate the differences between the new Republic and the old regime, the leaders needed to implement a new set of symbols to be celebrated instead of the old religious and monarchical symbolism.

However, normal legal processes were suspended following the assassination of Marat on 13 July by the Girondist Charlotte Corday, which the Committee of Public Safety used as an excuse to take control. [66], The August decrees abolished tithes, and on 2 November the Assembly confiscated all church property, the value of which was used to back a new paper currency known as assignats. July 28: The Brunswick Manifesto is widely circulated in Paris, causing fury against the King.

December 10: The legislature votes a forced loan of six hundred million francs to be taken from the wealthiest French citizens. "[199], After the first year of revolution, the power of the king had been stripped away, he was left a mere figurehead, the nobility had lost all their titles and most of their land, the Church lost its monasteries and farmlands, bishops, judges and magistrates were elected by the people, and the army was almost helpless, with military power in the hands of the new revolutionary National Guard. The election results were cancelled, sixty-three leading Royalists deported to French Guiana and new laws passed against emigres, Royalists and ultra-Jacobins. August 23: Bonaparte has had no news from France in six months. January 18: Marat publishes a fierce attack on finance minister Necker. [228], Conversely, two seminal political pieces of political history were written in Price's favor, supporting the general right of the French people to replace their State.

Milwaukee Braves He...
Milwaukee Braves Heroes and Heartbreak
240 pages, 220 b/w photos and illus., 8 x 9
A Braves New World (DVD)
Green Bay Packers: Trials, Triumphs and Tradition
Borchert Field: Stories from Milwaukee's Legendary Ballpark
By William Povletich
Unlike many sports books that simply glorify a team, Milwaukee Braves digs deep to unearth what the Braves meant (culturally and economically) to the city of Milwaukee, the state of Wisconsin, and to the sport of baseball. Based on solid research and interviews with remaining players, staff, officials, and with fans, Milwaukee Braves Heroes and Heartbreak looks not just the wins but the losses, the disappointments, and the heartbreak of the team's exodus from Milwaukee.
William Povletich is a native of Mequon, Wisconsin, and a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Povletich's documentary "Henry Aaron's Summer Up North" was an official selection to the 2006 National Baseball Hall of Fame Film Festival and the 2005 Wisconsin Film Festival. Povletich was an executive producer of the one-hour television special "Milwaukee Braves: The Golden Legacy" for Fox Sports Net, the fiftieth-anniversary tribute to the 1957 World Series champions. He is the author of Green Bay Packers: Legends in Green and Gold and has written about the Milwaukee Braves and Liberace for the "Wisconsin Magazine of History."


Afghan Air Force is set to break new ground with the NATO Training Mission commander, Gen. William Caldwell, announcing that the alliance will provide Afghanistan's nascent Air Force with 145 multi-role aircraft and 21 helicopters in line with efforts to strengthen Afghanistan's overall defense capabilities. This is very good news for Afghanistan's fragile armed forces and its government that tends to frequently criticize the NATO and other Western allies for lack of due attention to developing Afghanistan's military capabilities.
The planned acquisition and delivery of these aircraft will significantly add to the existing arsenal of Afghan Air Force's aircraft inventory. The timeline considered for completion of Afghan Air Force is 2016. By this date, this force is planned to be in possession of more than 300 aircraft of various types and force strength of 8000 personnel.
More than hundred Afghan pilots are currently being trained outside Afghanistan with the induction of first batch of female pilots, 4 in total, who recently attracted attention as the new faces of Afghanistan's women. So far, Afghanistan's Air Force has been equipped with 60 different aircraft most of them being logistics helicopters that are used for transporting cargo and people.
The planned introduction of this number of multi-role aircraft will officially kick-start Afghan Air Force's aerial defense and offense capabilities. In the fight against the Taliban and their allies in the form of the current insurgency, aerial support to ground forces is crucial to maintaining a distinct edge over the insurgents.
As apparent, the insurgency in Afghanistan involving the Taliban and other insurgent groups will indeed drag indefinitely into the future. This fact places the role of indigenous Afghan armed forces in the center of Afghanistan's efforts to cope with the effects of continues conflict and instability.
While the progress being made in building Afghanistan's Air Force merits appreciation and is a reason for hope, the armed forces of Afghanistan would still be incomplete without a capable, dedicated and united political leadership that can provide encouragement, motivation and overall direction.
As the history of Afghanistan in recent decades has shown, Afghanistan's past armed forces had proved to be characteristically resilient and dedicated to their cause in the face of grave challenges that faced them.
The subsequent disbanding and collapse of Afghanistan's previous armed forces had been more a result of splintering and failure of the political leadership. This time too, the key to the future of Afghanistan's armed forces lies in the country's political leadership and how it will navigate the country through the multitude of crises that are laying siege on the country.
In the coming years and as we move towards 2014 and beyond that, it is first and foremost up to the country's political leadership whether or not Afghanistan's armed forces will be adequate guardians of the country's interests.
Afghanistan National Army and Afghan Air Force, as the two important pillars of Afghan National Security Forces, are being supplied and equipped with primarily Western-made weapons, aircraft and military systems. Afghan National Army's official duty weapon has been shifted to American M16 from the traditional Kalashnikov rifles.
The majority of the new aircraft and systems that the Afghan National Army and Air Force are being equipped with are American made or Western made. This more or less means that in terms of long-term maintenance and servicing of these expensive and sophisticated weapon systems, Afghanistan's government and armed forces will continue to remain heavily dependent on Western manufacturer companies' after-sale services for maintenance and supplying of spare parts.
Such companies may be Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. For example, the traditional Soviet-made Kalashnikov rifles and Mi-17 helicopters have always been easy and relatively inexpensive to repair and maintain.
Spare parts and expertise needed for their maintenance have been easily available with many central Asian republics producing spare parts for these Soviet-made weapon systems. When it comes to new-generation Western-made weapon systems, accessing spare parts and replacements will not be easy and inexpensive.
More often than not, these systems require expensive after-sale maintenance operations than can be carried out only by the manufacturer companies. This will guarantee that the Afghan armed forces will be, for the foreseeable future, dependent on its Western allies for maintaining and expanding its expanding arsenal of weapon systems. As far as the U.S. and the NATO are concerned, they need such dependency and use it as an effective guarantee against these arsenals falling in the wrong hands.
These realities make it clear that the new Afghanistan indeed will have to continue the kind of long-term strategic cooperation with the U.S. and NATO that it has maintained since 2001. Afghanistan's Western allies, by all indications, are not going to abandon Afghanistan to fend for itself in the face of the monumental challenges that confront it.
Building and development of Afghanistan's Air Force and National Army are only the continuation of this long-term partnership which holds the promise to make Afghanistan's future better than its bloodied past.
When three months ago, President Karzai's half brother and head of Kandahar's Provincial Council was killed inside his home, almost every body within Afghan media community blamed the Taliban. I, however, called for caution and requested all to see the tell-tale signs that the high-profile murder could not have been a handiwork of Taliban.
To the inquisitive eyes, the circumstantial evidence and the available information pointed to the murder being a personal affair and a result of personal vendettas rather than a brilliant operation carried out by the rag-tag Taliban mullahs.
Now, three months onwards, the NATO officials in Kabul have presented the findings of their investigations and as said by a NATO official and reported by Reuters, the "murder" has been a result of inter-personal problems involving the two persons.
As I had termed it then, the Taliban's decision to claim responsibility for the murder was a "ploy" to benefit from the PR aspects of it. Anyway, it is routine for the Taliban to claim responsibility for every attack that takes place. They are bent on attracting the media attention as much as they can.


Spectators of Hip-Hop Society's second annual dance battle gathered around in a circle, clapped their hands, and fed into the energy of the two dancers competing in the middle. The crowd anxiously waited as senior and President of the Hip-Hop Society, Elmer Martinez, counted down from three to announce the winner.
Participants had the chance to win $2,000 worth of cash prizes. $1,000 for being the Cypher Lord, a person who dug deep and grew during the event, and $1,000 for winning all rounds of the battle brackets.
Martinez said he believes that this event created a space that welcomed everyone, no matter their level of involvement within the Boston hip-hop community.
"[This event] is a space that is useful to a unique community like ours, or like any college campus where it's a crossroad of cultures and people, and what is hip-hop if not a crossroad?" Martinez said.
Rachael Peterson, a Boston-based dancer, returned to Emerson this year after enjoying the comfortable atmosphere that Rebirth Vol. I provided her the year earlier.
Canadian dancer Sekou Sonko-Boisclair, who performs under the name Mr. Kou, won the Cypher Lord title and claimed a $1,000 cash prize after winning five rounds of two-minute Cypher Lord battles.
Other than the dance battle aspect of the event, Rebirth Vol. II explores other elements of hip-hop culture, such as emceeing. Junior Owen Elphick and senior Julio Villegas emceed the event—they beatboxed, freestyled, and played tracks from the Hip-Hop Society's album, Chapter 1: Enter The Society.
Villegas sees Rebirth Vol. II as a capstone event that birthed a new version of the Hip-Hop Society.
Three renowned dancers and artists, including veteran urban dance specialist Stiggity Stackz, award-winning dancer Snoopy, and hip-hop dancer Hibbz Funk, judged the event.
Alex Ambila, known by stage name Beaast Mode, won the Battle Brackets event. Ambila dances in the Cambridge area and took home $1,000 in cash after beating his opponent, a dancer named Africano, in five dance battles.
4/1/19: A previous version of this article disclosed where the prize money came from and incorrectly stated Flo as a judge. Per request of organizers, the details of funds have been removed. Hibbz Funk replaced Flo as a judge for the competition. The article has been changed to reflect that.

The seaside might not be everyone's first thought for a winter outing, but if you brave the cold and head to the South Australian coast right now, expect a treat.
In fact expect a lot of very big treats.
From June to October, the South Australian whale watching season is in full swing as various species of the giant marine mammals make their way along the coast as part of their annual migrations.
From Victor Harbor, just an hour south of Adelaide on the Fleurieu Peninsula, to the spectacular 90m high cliffs of the Head Of Bight near the Nullarbor Plain in the state's far west, more than 100 whales have been reported so far, most southern right whales who have travelled to the region to give birth to their young.
It is, said Haydyn Bromley, presiding member of the Aboriginal Lands Trust who operates the Head Of Bight Interpretive Centre, a whale bonanza.
"The numbers fluctuate from year to year, but at the moment it's a particularly good time to see the whales," Mr Bromley said.
"The viewing facility at Head of Bight is directly adjacent to the calving area where the whales raise their young, so at times you can be standing there as close as 50 metres away from a whale and calf.
A short detour off the Nullarbor Highway, Mr Bromley said the area was an absolute must for anyone driving through in either direction.
While a number of different species visit the region – including a pair of killer whales seen near Victor Harbor in early July – the two most common whale species seen along the South Australian coast are the humpback and the southern right.
Telling the two apart gets easier with practise, but there are a few simple signs that can help.
"The southern right has no dorsal fin, shorter side flippers and "callosity" or white patches around its head," explained a whale watcher from the SA Whale Centre in Victor Harbor.
If you're lucky enough to spot a whale, report the sighting to the SA Whale Centre via their website or by calling 1900 WHALES.
It also helps record the whale numbers for conservation work, she said.
For a bird's eye view of the whales, Chinta Air runs scenic flights over the Nullarbor and its neighbouring coastline as part of a Whales & Wheels package. It's available from 1 July to 30 September 2017.
Departing Adelaide Airport for Ceduna, the trip includes 4WD hire, a boat cruise with Fowlers Bay Eco Tours, and a charter flight over the Bunda Cliffs to the Head of Bight Marine Park. During peak whale season, you could spot up to a hundred southern right whales there, according to the operator.
For those who prefer to travel by sea, Fowlers Bay Eco Tours offer whale-watching expeditions throughout winter, too. They report frequent sightings of southern right and humpback whales, common and bottlenose dolphins, seals, sea lions, little penguins and rare birdlife.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. – The number of hikers allowed to scale Yosemite's iconic Half Dome could be severely restricted by 2013 if an environmental assessment of the wilderness area is approved as written.
Park officials have been studying how to balance the preservation of wilderness with the growing popularity of the day hike to the top. In years past up to 1,200 people a day would make the trek, crowding the cables that allow hikers to hoist themselves up the final ascent.
Rangers say crowds make the climb unsafe because hikers can't quickly descend the slick granite if a storm arises. They say 300 people a day is a more manageable number. Some argue the cables should be removed from a federally designated wilderness area.
Public input will be accepted until March 15.

Bolton Wanderers sign Chris Taylor
Midfielder completes move to Macron Stadium on a free transfer
Bolton Wanderers have completed the signing of Chris Taylor on a free transfer.
Most recently on the books of Blackburn Rovers, the midfielder moves to Macron Stadium on a two-year deal.
The 29-year-old started his career with his boyhood club Oldham Athletic, with highlights from his time at Boundary Park including helping the Latics qualify for the League One play-offs in 2007 and being named in the PFA Team of the Year in 2009.
A potent attacking threat from midfield having registered double-figures in both 2008/09 and 2010/11, he made the step up to the Sky Bet Championship with Millwall in 2012, and was a member of the Lions side that reached the FA Cup semi-finals in his solitary campaign with the club.
Signing for Blackburn in 2013, Taylor spent the end of last season on loan with former club Millwall and completed the full 90 minutes in their Sky Bet League One Play-Off Final defeat to Barnsley.

Testosterone enanthate is an injectable testosterone based on enanthate ether dissolved in oil, made specifically for slow absorption into the blood from the injection site.
The peak of its release into the blood – the first few days, then its level in the blood gradually decreases within two weeks. In medical practice, it is used to treat hypogonadism, that is, a natural lack of testosterone in the body. It is more convenient for the patient, because much more rare injections are needed than with the use of propionate testosterone ester.
Increase in nitrogen balance activates protein metabolic processes, which remove excess fat from the body, stimulate appetite and increase endurance. Testosterone activates the activity of organs that produce red blood cells, which in turn carry the oxygen necessary for the development of muscles. Despite prolonged exposure to blood, many athletes try to increase the effect of the application, increasing doses and taking Testosterone Enanthate injections every week to achieve the greatest effect.

Featured Plant of the Week Jack in the Pulpit (Arisaema Triphyllum)
Jack in the Pulpit (Arisaema Triphyllum) – Very distinctive spathe (hooded floral leaf) being green or purple brown and often striped, it folds over and shelters the spadix. The flowers are very tiny and actually appear at the base of the spadix. The fruit of this species is every bit as striking as the "flower"; it is a cluster of scarlet berries visible above the woodland floor from a long way off. Jack-in-the-pulpits have both male and female parts, but if the plant is young or weak, only the male parts will be fertile. The female parts are fertile only on older, stronger plants.
The plant resembles a minister in an old fashioned pulpit. Reaches 1 to 3 feet and prefers richly-soiled woods and swamps; found throughout the entire central US and into the east to the Appalachians. It is becoming increasingly rare in some areas. Deer Resistent.
Araceae Family – "Jack-in-the-pulpit, Northern Jack-in-the-pulpit, Small Jack-in-the-pulpit, Swamp Jack-in-the-pulpit, Woodland Jack-in-the-pulpit, Indian Turnip, Green Dragon, Brown Dragon, Dragon Root, Dragonroot, Dragon Plant, Dragon Turnip, March Turnip, Meadow Turnip, Indian Turnip, Wild Turnip, Swamp Turnip, Pepper Turnip, Wild pepper, Starch Plant, Starchwort, Memory Root, American Arum, Thrice-leaved Arum, Devil's Ear, Priest's Pintle, Wake-robin, Bog Onion, Cuckoo Plant, Lords and Ladies".
Arisaema from the Greek aris, a kind of arum and haema, meaning "blood". Triphyllum is Latin meaning "three leaves".
Another species that provided a multitude of uses to Native Americans and early settlers, Arisaema triphyllum is probably best remembered as a youthful dare. My first Boy Scout camping trip was highlighted by a challenge to taste the root juice and see if it was sweet or sour. It was, flat out, the hottest, stinging sensation my mouth has ever experienced. In fact, to this day, I still await my revenge on the perpetrator of this "hazing". (The sensation was caused by the high concentration of calcium oxalate present in the root.)
Some Native Americans used this species to treat sore eyes, others to treat headache with an external application of the powdered root to the temples. It was also used broadly to treat snakebite, ringworm, stomach gas, rheumatism, asthma and many other disorders.
One central Iowa tribe (the Meskwaki) even used it in a form of "guerilla" warfare. Meat would be cooked with the root of Jack-in-the-pulpit, then left along a trail in hopes that their enemies would partake of it. If they did, the high concentration of calcium oxalate would sicken them, with death occasionally resulting.
Edible Uses:
Tuber – it must be thoroughly dried or cooked before being eaten. The roots can be cut into very thin slices and allowed to dry for several months, after which they are eaten like potato chips, crumbled to make a cereal or ground into a cocoa-flavoured powder for making biscuits, cakes etc. They can also be pounded into a powder, this is thern left to dry for several weeks when it becomes safe to use. The root is up to 5cm long and 2cm wide. Caution is advised, see the notes above on toxicity.
Other Uses:
"A starch obtained from the roots is used as a stiffener for clothes. It is very harsh to the hands, causing blisters and swellings. The seeds have been used in rattles."

Plant Of The Week Asclepias Syriaca | Silkweed From Ion Exchange, Inc.
Silkweed (Asclepias Syriaca) – Becoming rarer (especially north of Iowa) in moist to wet prairies throughout most of the Tallgrass region, Prairie Milkweed can reach heights up to 3 1/2 feet. Similar to and often confused with the more common "Common Milkweed", the flowers are a deep reddish-pink and occur in clusters of up to 40 near the top of the plant. Blooms from June through mid-August. Asclepias, from the Greek God of healing and medicine. Syriaca is from the Latin word for "of Syrian origin".
The Milkweed Family has a long history of medicinal use. Asclepias incarnata was also cultivated for food uses, so it has been a valuable plant of the tallgrass biome for thousands of years. Some tribes added the flowers and bulbs to soups, some used the flowers stewed and served almost like preserves, immature pods were often cooked with buffalo meat and still others used the immature flower clusters and fruits as a cooked vegetable.
There are more than 25 species of milkweed found across the US with a dozen alone in the Tallgrass Biome. It is this species, Silkweed or Common Milkweed that enjoys the most popularity with edible plant enthusiasts.
Medicinally, the ground root of this species was used to induce temporary sterility, tea made from the root was used to "expel internal parasites" and the ground seeds were used in a poultice to draw the poison from a rattlesnake bite.
During WWII, the sap of the milkweed family plants were used experimentally to provide a rubber substitute. The silk produced by the seed pods was also used as a substitute for kapok in flotation devices for many years.
Edible Uses: Unknown
Medicinal Uses:
The root is anodyne, diaphoretic, diuretic, emetic, expectorant and purgative. It has been used in the treatment of asthma, kidney stones, venereal disease etc. Caution is advised, see the notes above on toxicity. An infusion of the pounded roots has been used by the women of some native North American Indian tribes to promote temporary sterility. The leaves and/or the latex are used in folk remedies for treating cancer and tumours. The milky latex from the stems and leaves is used in the treatment of warts. The latex needs to be applied at least daily over a period of up to a few weeks to be effective. The stems can be cooked and applied as a poultice on rheumatic joints. One reported Mohawk antifertility concoction contained milkweed and jack-in-the-pulpit, both considered contraceptive. Dried and pulverized, a fistful of milkweed and three Arisaema rhizomes were infused in a pint of water for 20 minutes. The infusion was drunk, a cupful an hour, to induce temporary sterility. The rhizome is used in homeopathy as an antioedemic and emmenagogue in the treatment of dropsy and dysmenorrhoea.
A good quality fibre is obtained from the inner bark of the stems. It is long and quite strong, but brittle. It can be used in making twine, cloth, paper etc. The fibre is of poor quality in wet seasons. It is easily harvested in late autumn after the plant has died down by simply pulling the fibres off the dried stems. It is estimated that yields of 1,356 kilos per hectare could be obtained from wild plants. The seed floss is used to stuff pillows etc or is mixed with other fibres to make cloth. It is a Kapok substitute, used in Life Jackets or as a stuffing material. Very water repellent, it can yield up to 550 kilos per hectare. The floss absorbs oil whilst repelling water and so has also been used to mop up oil spills at sea. Candlewicks can be made from the seed floss. In cultivation, only 1 – 3% of the flowers produce mature pods. It is estimated that yields of 1,368 kilos per hectare could be obtained from wild plants. Rubber can be made from latex contained in the leaves and the stems. It is found mainly in the leaves and is destroyed by frost. Yields of 197 kilos per hectare can be expected from wild plants, it is estimated that by selection these yields could be increased to 897 kilos. Yields are higher on dry soils. The latex can also be used as a glue for fixing precious stones into necklaces, earrings etc. The latex contains 0.1 – 1.5% caoutchouc, 16 – 17% dry matter, and 1.23% ash. It also contains the digitalis-like mixture of a- and b-asclepiadin, the antitumor b-sitosterol, and a- and b-amyrin and its acetate, dextrose and wax. Pods contain an oil and a wax which are of potential importance. The seed contains up to 20% of an edible semi-drying oil. It is also used in making liquid soap.

My very first visit to German restaurant - Weissbräu. Located at 3rd floor, Pavilion, its interior design is quite German-ish, wood and barrels, so much traditional German cottage feel.
I spent quite some time to fully read and understand the whole menu, as I'm quite fear that what I order isn't what I like to eat in the end, it will be a waste of money isn't... Plus, it's quite pricey for this restaurant, I have to really make sure I'm not ordering something I'm gonna regret. lol.
Yummy sausages~! One of the yummiest sausages I've had. Juicy and full of meaty taste. That's what I call 'sausage'. lol. Dislike Sauerkraut because of the sourish taste but their potato salad is very nice!
Fresh garden vegetables, yummy mashed potatoes, creamy butter-based sauce, but the steak is quite overcooked. Judging from its price, it's one of the priciest steak I've ordered recently but I really don't think it can even made it to my top 5 list. Worst than TGIF's.

Brenntag's CEO Steve Holla...
Brenntag's CEO Steve Holland to retire in 2020
Brenntag announces Decision of its CEO not to renew his current Contract
Global chemical distributor Brenntag AG (Essen, Germany) yesterday published in an ad-hoc message that the current Chief Eexecutive Officer, Steven Holland, has informed the Chairman of the Supervisory Board that he has decided he will retire after nine years as CEO when his current contract ends in February 2020.
Although, he will not be available for an extension of his contract, he remains fully committed throughout the transition period, Brenntag said in the statement. Stefan Zuschke, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, pointed out "the significant contribution by Steven Holland in Brenntag's journey from private to public ownership and its expansion into a truly global chemical distribution company and market leader." He also thanked him on behalf of the whole Supervisory Board for his services to the company, which Holland first joined when Brenntag acquired Albion Chemicals Group Ltd. in 2006. Back in 2001 he had co-led the MBO of the Leeds based company, then trading as Hays Chemicals, from Hays plc, and was the Managing Director at the time.
A decision on succession will be made by the Supervisory Board based on a structured selection process, Brenntag said.
