Rainforests sustain all life on the planet
They are irreplaceable. Not only do they exhibit creation in its most exquisite beauty, they provide millions of people with food, shelter, livelihoods, medicine and clean water. They are also the best climate solution we have. If protected and restored, rainforests can provide an indispensable contribution to sustainable development. Instead, they are at grave risk.
Global deforestation is accelerating
Extractive industries and land conversion for agricultural products like beef, soy, palm oil, and pulp and paper are driving tropical deforestation. In the last decade alone, an area of forest the size of the United Kingdom, France and Germany combined has been lost forever. This destruction is unnecessary and is undermining efforts by the international community to address climate change, sustainable development and human rights.
Momentum to protect rainforests is growing, but more is needed
A coalition of indigenous peoples, government, business, science, NGO and civil society partners are working to halt deforestation. However, to achieve the speed and scale of change required, we need to bring the moral, ethical and spiritual dimension of humanity to bear more strongly on these efforts.
The Interfaith Rainforest Initiative is an international, multi-faith alliance that aims to bring moral urgency and faith-based leadership to global efforts to end tropical deforestation. It is a platform for religious leaders to work hand-in-hand with indigenous peoples, governments, civil society and business on actions that protect rainforests and safeguard those that serve as their guardians.
We focus on three main goals:
Raise awareness of the tropical deforestation crisis by equipping religious leaders with the science, information and tools needed to serve as effective advocates for rainforest protection.
Mobilize action
Mobilize faith-based action by connecting religious leaders with allies from across sectors to multiply their collective impact.
Influence policy
Advocate for policies that protect forests by encouraging governments and companies to adopt, fulfill and expand upon their commitments to protect rainforests and the rights of indigenous peoples.
We work globally and in major rainforest countries to support religious leaders and spiritual communities that are mobilizing to protect rainforests.
We currently work in Brazil, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Indonesia and Peru, which together contain 70% of the world's remaining tropical forests.

While many Trekkies are loving a new action figure set based on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Wil Wheaton is not one of them. The famed super nerd recently took umbrage at a new figure based on his most famous role – the teen prodigy, Ensign Wesley Crusher.
The action figure in question was part of a set depicting the main cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Released by MiniFigs.me – a web-based business that manufactures made to order LEGO figures as well as unofficial adaptations of popular pop-culture characters – the Wesley Crusher figure is depicted as a crying child, in stark contrast to the more stoic and determined adult figures around him. The MiniFigs.me site also features custom figures based on other popular science fiction franchises such as Rick and Morty, Red Dwarf and The X-Files.
Wheaton responded to the set's release via a lengthy post on his personal website. Wheaton called the depiction of his character "insulting and demeaning to everyone who loved that character when they were kids. " He did, however, admit that "Wesley was a terribly-written character" during Star Trek: The Next Generation's first season.
The character of Wesley Crusher has long been a polarizing one among Star Trek fans. Some, like Wheaton, say that Wesley was an inspiring figure to many young people and that he offered an important point-of-view character for younger viewers who were being exposed to the Star Trek universe for the first time. Others hold that the character was little more than a cynical attempt at fan-service by the show's producers to try and reach out to what they thought most of the show's younger fans were like.
Wheaton, for his part, does not hold any grudge against those who find humor in the Minifigs set, though he says that he personally found the humor involved to be lazy. He does, however, caution against anything that might turn young prodigies – both boys and girls – away from careers in STEM fields because of the implication that there is no place for them among adults.
The irony that Wil Wheaton is defending his most famous role as not being a whiny little crybaby who irritated everyone in existence by complaining about it online does merit some consideration. Heaven help the next critic who dares say anything negative about The Big Bang Theory.


Abstract: A PowerPoint presentation given to the B'nai Israel Men's Club by Rebecca Jefferson on June 9, 2013. The presentation provided a brief history of Sephardi Jewish culture, and a summary account of the movement and resettlement of Sephardim around the world after the expulsion from Spain in 1492. Particular emphasis was given to the individuals and communities of Sephardi origin living in Florida today and the need to collect more materials to provide resources for researching this lesser-known history. The talk was accompanied by a physical display of some of the special materials in the Price Library of Judaica.
Acquisition: Collected for University of Florida's Institutional Repository by the UFIR Self-Submittal tool. Submitted by Rebecca Jefferson.

Home NEWS Snapshot Out in the cold
Out in the cold
by Steven Potter
Lauren Justice
Tzari Murphy, 18, gathers brush with an Operation Fresh Start conservation crew in 10-degree weather.
Charles Theus wasn't cut out for the traditional school setting. Now, his classroom is out in the cold.
"School just didn't interest me," says the 19-year-old former Madison Memorial High School student as he hauls buckthorn and box elder tree branches onto a burn pile at the Schumacher Farm County Park in Waunakee. "I couldn't focus on it the way I was supposed to."
So, he started skipping class, and as his attendance fell, so did his grades. Eventually, he quit school. But that wasn't the end of his education.
Before he left Memorial, a school counselor told him about Operation Fresh Start, a local nonprofit that provides construction training and employment opportunities for dropouts, ex-prisoners and other at-risk youth who want to earn a high school diploma.
In addition to the three days a week of construction work the participants put in, they also attend class at the Fresh Start headquarters on Winnebago Street on the east side.
Last May, Theus was accepted into Fresh Start's Pathways conservation crew, which works year-round on projects at various county parks. He not only enjoys the work, he sees a future in it.
"We learn real good skills to have, if you want to go into landscaping," he says, adding he hopes to find a related job when he graduates in a month. "The day moves by fast when you're out here working."
As the oldest of five, his mother demanded he graduate from high school — something she wasn't able to do — to set an example. "I need to show my brothers and sisters they need to finish school, and that if I can, they can," he says. "I've gotta be that role model."
Celebrating its 45th year, Operation Fresh Start participants work year-round for a reason, says executive director Gregory Markle. "The youth we work with have faced many challenges and will face workplace challenges in their future," he says. "Most jobs don't close because of bad weather; neither does Operation Fresh Start. This is modeling the real workaday world."
Working in 10 degree weather like last Tuesday at the farm teaches participants something about themselves. "[They learn] that they can succeed in the face of difficulties [and] that they have the inner strength to persevere," Markle says. And through teamwork, they learn that others want to help them succeed no matter how difficult it is, he adds.
Funded primarily by the AmeriCorps national service program, Fresh Start participants put in 32 hours each week — about 70% is working in the field, 20% in class and 10% working on career development. They receive a $720 monthly stipend. Fresh Start also operates a construction program where participants build homes for low-income buyers.
In some cases, the Fresh Start alternative to traditional schooling is the only option left. "It gets them out of the classroom that wasn't working for them," says Markle.
Ethan Yang, an 18-year-old who often skipped at West High School, knows he needs a diploma if he's to enter the auto industry.
"I've got to do what I've got to do to get an education, and this is it," he says. He's not crazy about working in freezing weather, though. "When you first get out here, it's sooooo cold. But then, you get moving and get your blood pumping and get through what you're here to do."
Like in high school, he's struggled with attendance issues while in Fresh Start. He's even been kicked out of the program for missing work. Thankfully, he says, "they let me back in."
His favorite part of the program is "being around positive people," he says. "They teach you to be a better you."
Program created: 1970
Participants who graduated since the program began: 8,000
Total OFS graduates in 2015: 280
Conservation crews: 3
Participants per crew: 10

An Undergraduate Life in the Theater

Undergraduates perform in the fall 2013 production of Mark Twain's Is He Dead? in the Adams Pool Theater.

The Google Calendar listing the conflicts for cast members looks terrifying. One has a class section from 6 to 7 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, two others have a cappella rehearsals from 7 to 10 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and a fourth is in another play that demands he attend six hours of rehearsal each day next week. I squint at the slivers of white space among the rainbow of "unavailable" blocks, the spaces in which I am justified in asking my stage manager to call the entire cast for rehearsal. I thought being a stage director would let me control my time better than when I was a performer at the mercy of someone else's rehearsal schedule. Instead, my time is now dictated by everyone else's. I want Google to engineer a magical eraser that I can use to blot out the chromatic conflicts…
It was sophomore fall, and I was quickly realizing the complexities of my role as director of an undergraduate play. As a freshman, I had been involved in four productions, all acted, produced, and directed by students, and I was eager to take on the responsibility of a full-scale production myself. When application season for theater venues rolled around that spring, I teamed up with friends who had agreed to produce and design Mark Twain's play, Is He Dead? for the following fall. We talked about the production in the way I imagine people plan utopian communities: we would use minimal props, simple set pieces, and throw weekend cast parties galore.
At Harvard, staging a show requires production teams to find sources of funding and create set plans, costume designs, and lighting concepts before they can even apply for space. We decided to apply for the "Ex" (the Loeb Experimental Theater), a black-box performance space in the Loeb Drama Center. Though I knew it was highly coveted, given its versatility and proximity to technical resources, I dutifully compiled a 35-page application of statements, résumés, and design plans, and felt confident after my 30-minute interview. Ultimately, my show was rejected for the Ex, but we soon found a home, via a second application, at the Adams Pool Theater, an actual swimming pool converted into a theater in the late 1980s. During the summer, I gleefully returned to daydreaming about glowing Crimson reviews and meticulously detailed blocking notes.
The first week of each semester at Harvard is marked by the stress of choosing classes, but for students either casting or auditioning for shows, the real back-to-school pressure happens from 6 p.m. to midnight on the very same days. "Common Casting" is when the majority of productions on campus assign roles to performers. Because more than 40 shows can go up in any given semester—from the Ex, to dining halls, and even squash courts—there are often too few actors to go around, and some students end up being involved in more than three shows.
After more than 20 hours of auditions during the first six days of my sophomore fall, I finally had my cast, and was ready to begin rehearsals. Ready, that is, if I could ever find a time to schedule them. My idyllic visions never included staring at that Google calendar with four weeks left to rehearse a two-hour play requiring almost 100 props, 13 actors, 18 costumes, three wooden scenery flats, and $1,300 in grant money. I took a deep breath, and set about cramming as much rehearsal as possible into the brief time allotted.
I often found myself awake at 4 a.m. before a morning rehearsal, scribbling blocking notes into the blank margins of my script. I spent every spare moment e-mailing about paint colors and building supplies, and ran to the props room at lunchtime to pick out the perfect couch or set of glasses before another show claimed them. Homework was usually completed between the hours of midnight and 10 a.m., and the amount of coffee I consumed was directly proportional to my lack of sleep. I once took the T through Boston for three hours in search of a self-inflating whoopee cushion for one particular bit in the show, only to finally find the elusive toy at a Walgreens in Allston, a 10-minute bus ride from my dorm.
Directing became a series of successes and failures, each one the product of inexperience and learning by trial and error. Despite their strain on my sleep and homework, I lived for the hours of rehearsal I'd painstakingly planned. Seeing something I had only imagined acted out under the harsh fluorescent lights in a rehearsal room filled me with a kind of glow nothing else could spark. Yet that was nothing compared to how proud I felt seeing my actors, now a new group of friends, take control of all we had worked on when an audience packed the house on opening night.
I love theater for the micro-communities each show creates, especially as opening night draws near. The worst technical difficulties or missed lines during a performance can become the "Do you remember?" moments that hold a cast together long after the set has been struck. When it comes to performing in front of an audience, terror necessitates a close cast bond—nail-biting director in the last row of the audience included.
Is He Dead? received a beaming review in the Crimson, and we did have exuberant cast parties, now immortalized by disposable camera photos in which the post-show relief of the subjects is evident by tired, sweaty smiles. The satisfaction I gained from this first foray into directing made me realize that I love the kind of theater Harvard offers outside the classroom, where students are given total autonomy over creative decisions. When plans of study were due just a few weeks later, I chose to separate my academic pursuits from extracurricular activities. Though many of my friends chose to pursue the secondary field in dramatic arts, I happily picked courses in English and psychology.
The recent announcement of a likely full-scale concentration in theater, dance, and media (see "The Campaign Computes") has left my friends and me with many questions about the future of our existing dramatic community. Would concentrators receive preference in the space-application process? Would it become possible to earn course credit for participating in shows—and if so, would this apply to all actors and production staff, or just to those with the biggest roles? Would the larger creative processes, such as choosing what shows to mount or what kinds of sets to build, remain in student hands, or would faculty members begin to exercise more control? Given the competitive nature of the real-world theater industry, the opportunity to exercise this kind of control at such a young age, in an environment that provides funding and support, is invaluable to the development of practical theatrical knowledge among undergraduates. Most important, what degree of independence would student-produced extracurricular shows retain?
My graduation, two semesters away, looms closer than the answer to these questions. I hope the coming changes to the Harvard theater community will further the abundance of talent and resources on campus, and not inhibit creative freedom. Being given the funding and the space to direct a favorite play at 19 years old is a dream I hope students are able to fulfill long after I've been released into the "real world." All I ask of administrators is that they let students guide these new opportunities in the way they've learned best in years past: through direction.

A 37-year-old female drunkard raped to death, according to reports, have led the police in Ghana to the arrest 4 people, including a middle-aged woman.
The deceased identified as Naomi Opoku, who was described by many as a drunkard – is believed to have been raped to death after a bout of drinking in a bar at Buokrom Limex Quarry suburb in Ghana on Saturday, December 30.
Her body was found in the area the following day.
But preliminary police investigations reveal the body of the deceased was dumped in the street after the act.
The four suspects were arrested on Monday and they are currently assisting the police in their investigations.
Police sources say the deceased went hawking plantain chips in the vicinity but got drunk at the usual drinking spot she frequents.
She was helped into a room in the house that also houses the drinking spot by two siblings living there.
According to reports, the two siblings returned to the room to see the deceased had been raped by one of the arrested suspects and others who are at large.

Presentation Descriptions
In this paper, I examine how pop music conjures feelings of nostalgia for moments of Asian migration and Asian American formation in stories by and about Asian Americans. I analyze how nostalgia is often constructed as transgenerational--that is, the Asian American protagonists feel a wistfulness for moments that they themselves did not experience, but their parents did.
My main point of departure is the "Parents" episode (2015) of the Netflix television series Master of None. In the unconventionally long pre-credits opening sequence, Spandau Ballet's "True" (1983) and Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl" (1981) provide the soundtracks for the scenes of parental arrival in the United States. These hits from the 1980s mark Dev's and Brian's fathers' period of innocence as youthful immigrants and new parents, in contrast to the fathers' dashed hopes for their adult children's filial piety in the present. The tone of innocence, poignance, and longing is then seemingly superseded by a more knowing and sophisticated technology of sound: the sampled and repeated beats of rap duo Pete Rock and CL Smooth's "They Reminisce Over You" (1992) over the show's opening credits. This song, composed in mourning over the premature death of a Black male friend, has with the passage of time become heard as a universalized hymn to nostalgia even as it also evokes nostalgia for the "golden age of hip hop." Positioned as a kind of epigraph to this episode, "They Reminisce Over You" serves as a way for Generation X Asian American audience members to resolve their apparently contradictory desires to belong both to American culture (by claiming a song marked as "cool") and to their parents' culture (paying tribute to their parents by reminiscing about their parents' memories). I provide context for this interpretation of Master of None by discussing additional music that soundtracks filmic and televisual moments of Asian and Asian American migration and movement in multiple directions transpacifically and translocally.
The protests in Hong Kong have consumed headlines around the world since midsummer 2019 and as of this writing show no signs of abating. As with the Umbrella Movement in 2014, pop music has played a significant part in the protests. One resident composed Glory To Hong Kong, the anthem of the current demonstrations, and earlier iterations of the demonstrations this summer included performances of the hymn Sing Hallelujah to the Lord. But one song, Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies, has recently resurfaced as a touchstone for the protests, with a newly edited music video set to the tune. The song is by the legendary Cantopop rock band Beyond, who emerged in the 1980s with a string of hits that topped the charts in Hong Kong and across Asia. Although many of the protestors were not yet born in 1993, the year of the song's release, it still remains relevant to the youth in Hong Kong.
This presentation looks at the impact and significance of this classic power ballad and why it remains a beacon for the Hong Kong people more than 25 years after its release. It will also explore the broader role of Cantopop in the formation of Hong Kong identity. As Yiu-Wai Chu observes, "Cantopop has been functioning as an important vehicle through which the people of Hong Kong articulate their identity in a bottom up manner." What is the legacy of Cantopop in a rapidly changing Hong Kong? How does music serve to unify the Hong Kong protestors as they fight for self-determination and the maintenance of their civil liberties? Why does a song from their parents' generation continues to inspire young people in the territory today?
Haunting – as a heuristic, an analytic, a narrative device, and a postscript of depreciated lives – continues to exert an apparitional force over the study of the Korean American diaspora. In this paper, I momentarily suspend and take relief from the accumulated pressures of that ghostly cacophony and attune myself instead to the noise and frequencies of survival, dissent, nostalgia, heartbreak, and love, the generative soundtracks of desire against damage playing with and through modern Korean experiences of war, dictatorship, displacement, and other bewilderments of history.
The genesis of my paper is a boyhood spent listening to my dad play his guitar and sing American and Korean folk songs like Kansas' "Dust in the Wind" and Yang Hee Eun's "아침이슬" (Morning Dew). It functions as an annotated mixtape based on my dad's mythologies of coming of age as an immigrant American in the 1970s and 1980s, a meditation on the difficulty of shelter in and creative world-making produced by the Korean immigrant home, and a search for the sonic dimensions of what Jason Magabo Perez terms a "critical race poetics." How can revisiting a collection and a practice of a private music, the sovereign sounds of a youth and a voice seemingly sublimated by hegemonic (in)difference, offer "various kinds of racial knowledges that can help us reconsider the nonlinear, non-narrative, associative logics of colonial and racist state violence"?
As such, I'm engaged in a remediation of the ear that learns to dissent before the mind; a music that runs, riffs, plays, sings, and asserts a subject melody even in the face of historical subjection; and a musical understanding of power, domination, and resistance that contributes to assembling a political critique and an alternative possibility of what living can entail in Korean immigrant practices of everyday life.
This is a presentation on the persistence of teenage desire—competing yet complementary desires for visibility and opacity, for exceptionality within a crowd of adoring friends and publics—in the midst of worlds that are not made for them. This is a presentation about queer Filipino/a/x teens living in sites of banality across the US—within Southern California suburban sprawl, near the white sand beaches of Florida's Redneck Riviera, and amongst the fumes and flatness of central Jersey. This presentation ruminates on the ways that queer Filipino American teens mediate, sustain, and generate forms of social dis/connection in these sites of ennui through their solo and shared consumption of American "rock musics"—from the sweet sounds of the Carpenters, to the jangle of The Pixies, to the stomp of Fugazi and DC punk. To map the sonic and affective landscapes of desire and disconnection in queer Filipino America, I pull from stories from my own childhood and from recently published scholarly, creative, and critical works by queer Filipinx writers and artists including Karen Tongson, Aldrin Valdez, and Elaine Castillo. TL;DR: the kids have been tired.

My first, first grade class is currently in ninth grade … making my career at MPA nine years!
I love that MPA reaches every aspect of the whole child and that they respect every child as an individual.
MPA nurtures students who forever dream big and do right by inviting students from a very young age to express their dreams, teach them that no dream is too big, and help them on a path to discover how to reach those dreams while being respectful citizens.
How people are very kind and inclusive. Another thing that I really like about MPA is that the class sizes are very small, so the teachers really get to know you and your personality genuinely well. That makes it easy and comfortable to ask them for help.
What encourages me is that the teachers are always supportive. If you have an idea and you tell one of your teachers, they would never make you think that your idea is stupid or not good. They would actually encourage you to try it and help you with it.
One of the things that is different is that there are 10 times more teacher help than at other schools. Because MPA has such small class sizes, the teachers will give you lots more help and you will be able to get all your questions answered.
My favorite part of MPA is playing with friends, especially in phy. ed. class. Mr. Sheehan is my teacher and he is always nice. He's just a fun person. I also love math because I use my whole brain and I work together with my friends.
How do you dream big and do right at MPA?
Dream big and do right means being nice to my friends. I make sure to give (my best friend) a hug every morning when I see him, and he gives me a hug.
What would you tell a friend considering MPA?
MPA is a very fun place because you have everything you need. You have friends, you have a really good hot lunch, you have a big playground, you have lots of books in the library. The library is a place I really like because I love books, especially books about football. I also really like Ms. Espeland's music class and Ms. Mastel's drama class. I really can't pick which of those I like best because I like them both so much.
In December 2018 I successfully completed my Ph.D. in biomedical sciences (neuroscience specialization).
MPA is one big group of people, striving for the same goal: to make this world a better place. All of us come from different backgrounds, different families, and different religions yet we all work together to help one another. I believe the soul of MPA is embedded within the students, teachers, and administration. The reason I love MPA is because the people.
I went to the University of St. Thomas for undergrad and studied psychology. I earned my master's degree and Ph.D. from the University of Southern Mississippi in counseling psychology. After a year as a visiting professor at the University of Southern Mississippi, I got a job as an assistant professor here at UW-Green Bay.
The joy the students of all ages find in simply being at school, in classes and hallways, working hard and having fun!
MPA teachers and staff don't shy away from tough issues, instead posing them as discussion topics and guiding students in thinking through them critically and empathetically to arrive at a conscientious, thoughtful opinion.


In the second of a two-part interview with Telegraph Sport, Emma Pooley criticises the International Cycling Union saying the sport's world governing body has turned women's cycling "into a Mickey Mouse sport."
On the second day of the Olympic Games the streets of London and Surrey were lined with spectators eager to get a glimpse of something rarely seen on these shores or television screens: women's road cycling.
Less than 24 hours after the peloton had contrived to rain on Mark Cavendish and Team GB's opening day medal-parade the heavens opened in the south east of England while over seven million viewers tuned in to watch Marianne Vos deny Team GB's Lizzie Armitstead on the Mall.
While those hardy souls lining the route draped in their Union flags - and numerous orange-clad Dutch fans - may have cursed the downfall the more thoughtful of riders will have, perhaps, rejoiced. For once there was a silver lining - and not just for Armitstead - for a sport so often marginalised to the outer regions of the internet.
"It was fantastic, the crowds were amazing it was really cool," the former world champion told Telegraph Sport as, rather eerily, the heavens opened atop Alpe d'Huez during the Haute Route cyclosportive. "Other than the Nationals we don't really have any proper [women's] races in the UK and there were just so many people out.
"People I knew who were out were saying how exciting it was to watch and that the women's race was really exciting."
However, just weeks after the Games numerous races in the women's calendar were cancelled while Pooley's own Dutch trade team AA Drink-leontien.nl itself folded which was "pretty sad", though not a surprise.
"It wasn't that a sponsor has pulled out it's just that the sponsorship contracts were all timed into the Olympics cycle. AA Drink has been a sponsor in women's cycling for a long time and Leontien van Moorsel (the former Dutch multiple world and Olympic champion) and her husband Michael Zijlaard have been huge supporters of women's cycling – I think they've had a women's team for 17 years so it is pretty sad.
"I don't know about other teams and what will happen to them at the end of the season, but it now seems to be the same story every year. I know the men's teams also have issues and they complain about a lack of money but they have no idea what it's like to have a total lack of teams."
Pooley, though, remains in love with the sport despite the apparent barriers put in place by the International Cycling Union (UCI), the sport's world governing body.
"Let's face it, racing is entertainment and the spectators in London found it entertaining so that's really good. That's exactly what there needs to be. People just need to be able to watch the racing and see that it's exciting.
"I don't think it's a case of men's cycling versus women's cycling, or 'oh more people watched this or that race', but it's just that there's such a disparity it cycling, it really gets my goat. It's really frustrating.
"It's the same sport but gets treated totally differently. To start with, not many of our races ore on television and the UCI doesn't seem to have any interest in furthering our side of the sport and I don't see why not.
"We may go a few kilometres an hour slower, but that doesn't make it less exciting to watch and that's what people realised when they watched the Olympics - in fact, I think our race was probably more exciting than the men's race because there was action all the way in the lashing rain which added to the drama.
"It really annoys me that nobody seems to realise that, especially when you have put a lot of time, effort and passion into doing something and then it's made to feel worthless is really frustrating. I can't think of any other sport – ok, maybe football – where there's that much disparity and there are all these slurs with people saying 'women's football is rubbish'. Well you know what? It's not and it can be exciting to watch.The top level of women's cycling is very good.
"Cycling is so behind. I mean, they [the UCI] have limits on the length of our races and the number of days a stage race can be, they've basically turned it into a Mickey Mouse sport and it doesn't have to be.
Indeed, Pooley's comments echoed that of Team GB and trade team-mate Armitstead who, after winning the silver medal at the Olympic road race, said that women's cycling "could get a lot more help from the top."
Armitstead, after UCI president Pat McQuaid had presented her with her medal in London, said: "It's a big issue in women's sport. It's the obvious things: the salary, media coverage, the general things you have to cope with. If you focus on it too much you get very disheartened.
"There are three Olympic medallists now within the [Team GB] road squad on the women's side. There are lots of things that could be done. We could get more help from the UCI, like forcing WorldTour teams to have a women's equivalent.
Pooley, like Armitstead, believes too that teams competing in the WorldTour, the top level of men's professional cycling, should be encouraged to develop a women's team to run in tandem with their male counterpart, much like the Cervelo and HTC-Highroad teams had in recent years.
"If Sky really wanted to make an impact on cycling they'd put together a women's team," Pooley added. "And they could put women's cycling on television. That would make a huge difference, not just for their team but also in terms of sponsorship for all the teams.
"I've been on two women's teams that have been attached to men's teams – Cervelo [the bike manufacturer] and then Garmin-Cervelo. With Cervelo it was fantastic; they put our results on their website, they cared about us and were interested in us, they wanted to develop the sport and that's because we had a main sponsor who were interested in women's cycling because, guess what, women also buy bikes. It's not rocket science.
"Then with Garmin I don't think they really had much interest in us and it showed. But I agree that the UCI should encourage women's teams.
"Unfortunately, though, there's no point in having teams if there aren't any races. There real problem in the past few years has been races getting cancelled. And that's, also, because the UCI doesn't encourage them.
"I think they need to be getting races on the television so that sponsors want to sponsor the races. Let's face it, who, when there's a financial crisis going on wants to put money into a bike race that doesn't even get them any coverage anywhere?
"I think, quite frankly, that the UCI has quite a lot to answer for. They seem to just spend all their time regulating saddle angles and so on when they could be helping to further developing the sport."
Emma Pooley was talking to Telegraph Sport during the recent Haute Route cyclosportive.


Cut the price of satnav, is the call from an automotive industry consultancy.
According to telematics specialist SBD, navigation systems have moved from being expensive niche products to mass-market items stocked on supermarket shelves. As a result, sales have soared and SBD predicted that six million systems will be sold this year.
A new report from SBD points out that car manufacturers need to change their approach if they are to increase the number of vehicles sold with embedded, factory-fitted satellite navigation units. The report said that consumers understand and are familiar with electronic devices and that car makers are falling behind. In effect, they need to lower their prices to compete with standalone equipment, and make sure that dealers understand the in-car systems and know how to sell them.
SBD's research shows that at present only around 10 per cent of new cars in Europe include satnav. Few buy it because it's expensive and it isn't available on most cars. At the present rate, SBD estimated that fitment rates might hit 12 per cent next year.
It contrasted this with the performance of portable systems, which have doubled sales levels in 2004-2005. It found that rapid growth has been fuelled by the success of new personal navigation devices (PNDs), which it said "are smartly designed, simple to use and competitively priced".
SBD's David McClure said: "Manufacturers have an opportunity to turn increased customer awareness into increased sales of embedded systems, but it requires a fresh approach, both in the way they position the equipment within their model ranges and the way it is sold to the customer on the showroom floor."
SBD's report recommended that simple turn-by-turn navigation systems be integrated as standard in most cars, and that that car makers improve training for car dealers on the advantages and benefits of embedded navigation equipment.
"If car makers are willing to adopt more cohesive marketing and technical strategies, we think there is an opportunity for fitment rates on new cars to rise as high as 30 per cent by 2008-2009", said McClure.
Well Vx have caught on giving a tomtom Go away with new Corsa SXi. These things are so good (just spent the week in Germany with tomtom 5 on a pocketpc) I don't see why anyone would pay 2 grand of their own money to spec a factory BMW (or whatever) system. There is way too much profit in this particular option.
Eaxctly - I would love for a reasonable price for SatNav on my next car.
Dealer training is an issue, as most sales people are not worried about learning the product, as they will probably won't be working there in a few months anyway (either fired / promoted / moved to a different franchise).
I'm sure all manufacturers, but especially Audi/BMW/Merc etc, make an absolute fortune on options.
I guess the business issue is, do you halve the price and hope twice as many people go for it, or leave the price as it is and reap the extra profit?
Who wants to spend upwards of £2000 on an optional sat nav system on their BWM or Benz and watch it be worth nothing when they sell the car when you can buy Tom Tom for £500 and take it with you.
It will have to come down, a good portable unit like a TomTom is £350, a factory fit option, £1800! Its a stupid price and of course, is lost 3 years later when you sell the car.


Yesterday, Chris and I hit th Medina Ice Festival to check out the ice carving action. We got there way, way too early, so we spent a while walking around the Square getting pictures of the previous day's sculptures, but before too long the park was crowded with competitors and power tools, ready to turn 300-pound slabs of ice into beautiful works of art.
As usual with photowalks, this one yielded many images that I would be proud to use for my 365. I really liked the mood in this one, though--two teammates who seem pretty happy to be manipulating a gigantic chainsaw together.
And really, isn't that what life's all about?

The economist credited with predicting the 2008 global financial crisis said a 12% fall in the value of bitcoin on Friday was the latest proof that the cryptocurrency was the biggest bubble in history and destined for a crash.
The latest sell-off follows reports that US regulators are investigating whether the spike in the price of bitcoin in 2017 was the result of market manipulation. India's finance minister said the country did not recognise the cryptocurrency as legal tender, pledging to fight their use for "illegitimate activities".
Digital currencies have also been hit by the news that Facebook is banning all adverts for cryptocurrencies. Ethereum, ripple, litecoin and other digital currencies all suffered double-digit percentage falls on Friday as investors took fright.
Critics have warned that bitcoin has all the hallmarks of a classic speculative bubble that could burst, like the dotcom boom and the US sub-prime housing crash that triggered the global financial crisis. Last year it rose in value by more than 900%, making it the best performing asset of 2017.
Robert Shiller, the Nobel prize-winning economist, said last week that while bitcoin was a "really clever idea", it would not become apermanent part of the financial world.
"I tend to think of bitcoin as an experiment. It is an interesting experiment, but it's not a permanent feature of our lives," he said, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Bitcoin is not recognised by any central bank and currently allows people to bypass banks and traditional payment methods to pay for goods and services. Banks and other financial institutions have been concerned about bitcoin's early associations with money laundering and online crime, and it has not been adopted by any government.
However, the spike in the price is forcing regulators and institutions to consider how to respond.
Jon Cunliffe, deputy governor for financial stability at the Bank of England, has said that bitcoin is too small to pose a risk to the global economy. However, he warned that investors should "do their homework" before backing the digital currency.


You may have heard of high sugar, but do you know about low sugar,we also know it by the name of hypoglycemia.If sugar becomes too low,it can also be dangerous.Whenever you take a sugary meal, it begins to absorb blood glucose through digestive system and accumulates in extra in liver. But when the levels of blood sugar decrease due to stress or excess exercise, then the accumulated glucose in the liver starts to emerge.But if the procedure is not correct, blood sugar levels are reduced and this condition is called low blood sugar or hypoglycemia.Occasionally the level of blood sugar in the person suffering from diabetes decreases suddenly. At the same time, it is very necessary to bring the level of blood sugar to normal condition otherwise the condition of the patient becomes more serious.People with diabetes should always have 15 grams of carbohydrate substance with them like chocolate,candy and whenever your blood sugar levels become much lower then you can eat it so that your blood sugar level becomes normal again.
Symptoms of hypoglycemia - Symptoms of Low Blood Sugar(Hypoglycemia) can vary from patients to patients in different types.They come in early and late signs. Early symptoms include appetite, perspiration, body vibration and anxiety etc. While there are weaknesses in late symptoms and stagnation in walking, less or blurred vision,sudden darkness in front of the eye, forgetting or confusion status,unconsciousness and epilepsy,which can be quite dangerous.Some people do not even see the initial signs of it.
Causes behind hypoglycemia - The main reason for low blood sugar level is eating less according to your diet or eating late,sometime more exercise,skip breakfast is the most common reason or unable to take food after taking insulin or medication.Apart from this taking excessive dose of medication or stress is also responsible for low blood sugar.
Is insulin safe for type 2 diabetes?
How treat hypoglycemia - To control low blood sugar level,it is important to maintain balance between dietary,exercise and diabetes-resistant medicines. But if you do not get enough food, forgetting to do breakfast or unexpected exercise spoiling your balance can reduce blood sugar.So take your diet at right time and avoid heavy exercises.You should always have sweet things to eat, which you can use in an emergency if you have hypoglycemia.


I've got a quick story to tell.
I was at first really nervous taking my first exam on Physics and Maths, especially in a whole new country (the United Kingdom).
I traveled on my own by train — yet another new experience — to the exam centre in a place I've not been to before.
In fact, it was strange to me, but as I went it seemed to be just a regular day for the rest of the population there.
I took the exam. Met great people/students with similar interests to me!
More on how I did on the exam below.
I started out at home studying in the evenings. I tried this for a week. Knowing that I was only sleepy and didn't retain much info.
So two days later, I studied early in the morning before work. That proved to be more effective.
I've moved from being at the library at different times, staying at home, leaving a window open, study music, and even changing the environment around every so often.
But find out what suits you the best. You will realise that you have had several breakthrough moments in that environment/s, where you've learned new ideas. It starts to become a sanctuary of some sort.
And then came the disadvantage of online study material — funny cat videos.
I realised that I actively have to restrict myself from forms of distractions.
Simply put 'Willpower' is being depleted just to avoid distraction, making me feel groggy. Shouldn't willpower be used for studying new material instead?
The 'High Standards' part of this heading is that you will have to go intense with the focus, so that you absorb as much information that is humanly possible, so that you can carry on your day.
It's either go big or go home in studying. I have noticed that it has to be intensive. Because in that way you create a space of curiosity for yourself, to think in all possible angles or perspectives of the situation.
And just as the Feynman technique is used, you have to explain what you have learned. And intentionally realise what information you did not absorb.
It's a brutal studying technique, but that happens to be the best there is. Heck, even Richard Feynman uses it to get so well in Physics, yet he describes Physics so simply.
That pretty much sums up that actions speak louder than words.
If it's a project to work on, always say 'Yes', because as a Web Developer this is to keep yourself on the perspective of being in the competitive playground.
You have to keep yourself in the arena, constantly winning.
20% of all your activities you do account for 80% of your income. Figure out what those are.
Peter's got a great book where he lays out a programme and set of exercises + a blueprint 6 Months to 6 Figures. If possible, I'd definitely let you choose the audiobook version, because Peter gives his invaluable insights/stories too!
You may have heard of this 20/80 rule — also known as the Pareto Principle. It's really an interesting ratio (just like the Golden Ratio used in Web Design) since it crops up around different stats and graphs! However not exactly 20/80, but somewhere around this ratio.
In fact, a quick search of 'Pareto principle UX' gives out real user-based research on this!
Work on results, and realise that only 20% of what you do account for 80% of your achievements. Find those valuable activities ASAP.
Always back yourself up (straight back posture too ?) with your Achievements — stuff that make you a Confident person.
And yes, how I did in the exam was that I failed in my Physics and Math examination, but that has only opened a whole new set of experiences for me as a Web Developer, to not be let down by this, and to refocus myself towards a unique path.
I hope you keep yourself focused weekly on your weekly accomplishments — your Weekly Prize! ?
If you're interested on the power of the mind, have you heard of Nikola Tesla? Or Einstein? Or Thomas Edison? These guys control their minds — and all are accomplished men! I've written a post about them here.


Quasi-static three-point bending tests on sandwich beams with expanded metal sheets as core were conducted. Relationships between the force and displacement at the mid-span of the sandwich beams were obtained from the experiments. Numerical simulations were carried out using ABAQUS/EXPLCIT and the results were thoroughly compared with the experimental results. A parametric analysis was performed using a Box-Behnken design (BBD) for the design of experiments (DOE) techniques and a finite element modeling. Then, the influence of the core layers number, size of the cell and, thickness of the substrates was investigated. The results showed that the increase in the size of the expanded metal cell in a reasonable range was required to improve the performance of the structure under bending collapse. It was found that core layers number and size of the cell was key factors governing the quasi-static response of the sandwich beams with lattice cores.

Thermo-mechanical buckling of sandwich beams with a stiff core and face sheets made of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) within the framework of Timoshenko beam theory is presented. The material properties of FG-CNTRC are supposed to vary continuously in the thickness direction and are estimated through the rule of mixture. Also the properties of these materials should be considered temperature dependent. The governing equations and boundary conditions are derived by using Hamilton's principle and solved using an efficient technique called the Differential Transform Method (DTM) to achieve the critical buckling of the sandwich beam in uniform thermal environment. A detailed parametric study is guided to investigate the effects of carbon nanotube volume fraction, slenderness ratio, core-to-face sheet thickness ratio, and clamped-clamped, simply-simply and clamped-simply end supports on the critical buckling behavior of sandwich beams with FG-CNTRC face sheets. Numerical results for comparison of sandwich beams with uniformly distributed carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (UD-CNTRC) face sheets with those with FG-CNTRC face sheets are also presented.

In this study, in-situ dynamic tests of the world\'s longest steel box tied-arch bridge over the Yangtze River, China, are reported. The double deck bridge supports highway and monorail systems at upper and lower levels, respectively. Strain, displacement, and acceleration responses were measured and used to investigate the vibration characteristics of the bridge when excited by running trains and/or trucks at a speed of 5-60 km/h, train braking, and truck bouncing. Impact factors were correlated with the running speed of trains and trucks. A three-dimensional finite element model of the coupled monorail-train-bridge vibration system accounting for track irregularities was established to understand the system behavior and validated by the experimental results. Truck bouncing was the dominant impact factor on bridge responses. The running speed of vehicles determined the riding comfort of traveling trains.

This study contributes to evaluate multiphase topology optimization design of plate-like structures on elastic foundations by using classic plate theory. Multi-material optimal topology and shape are produced as an alternative to provide reasonable material assignments based on stress distributions. Multi-material topology optimization problem is solved through an alternative active-phase algorithm with Gauss-Seidel version as an optimization model of optimality criteria. Stiffness and adjoint sensitivity formulations linked to thin plate potential strain energy are derived in terms of multiphase design variables and Winkler-Pasternak parameters considering elastic foundation to apply to the current topology optimization. Numerical examples verify efficiency and diversity of the present topology optimization method of elastic thin plates depending on multiple materials and Winkler-Pasternak parameters with the same amount of volume fraction and total structural volume.

Fly ash can significantly improve concrete workability and performance, and recycling fly ash in concrete can contribute to a cleaner environment. Since fly ash influences pozzolanic reactions in concrete, mechanical behaviors of concrete containing fly ash differ from traditional concrete. Creep behaviors of fly ash concrete filled steel tube arch were experimentally investigated for 10% and 30% fly ash replacement. The axes of two arches are designed as circular arc with 2.1 m computed span, 0.24 m arch rise, and their cross-sections are all in circular section. Time dependent deflection and strain of loading and mid-span steel tube were measured, and long term deflection of the model arch with 10% fly ash replacement was significantly larger than with 30% replacement. Considering the steel tube strain, compressive zone height, cross section curvature, and internal force borne by the steel tube, the compressive zone height and structural internal forces increased gradually over time due to concrete creep. Increased fly ash content resulted in more significant neutral axis shift. Mechanisms for internal force effects on neutral axis height were analyzed and verified experimentally.

This paper presents an experimental work for short circular steel tube columns filled with normal concrete (NAC), recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), and RAC with silica fume and steel fiber. Ten specimens were tested under axial compression to research the effect of silica fume and steel fiber volume percentage on the behavior of recycled aggregate concrete-filled steel tube columns (RACFST). The failure modes, ultimate loads and axial load- strain relationships are presented. The test results indicate that silica fume and steel fiber would not change the failure mode of the RACFST column, but can increase the mechanical performances of the RACFST column because of the filling effect and pozzolanic action of silica fume and the confinement effect of steel fiber. The ultimate load, ductility and energy dissipation capacity of RACFST columns can exceed that of corresponding natural aggregate concrete-filled steel tube (NACFST) column. Design formulas EC4 for the load capacity NACFST and RACFST columns are proposed, and the predictions agree well with the experimental results from this study.

In this paper, three-dimensional (3D) elasticity theory in conjunction with nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT) is developed for mechanical analysis of anisotropic nanoparticles. The present model incorporates two scale coefficients to examine the mechanical characteristics much accurately. All the elastic constants are considered and assumed to be the functions of (r, θ, φ), so all kind of anisotropic structures can be modeled. Moreover, all types of functionally graded spherical structures can be investigated. To justify our model, our results for the radial vibration of spherical nanoparticles are compared with experimental results available in the literature and great agreement is achieved. Next, several examples of the radial vibration and wave propagation in spherical nanoparticles including nonlocal strain gradient parameters are presented for more than 10 different anisotropic nanoparticles. From the best knowledge of authors, it is the first time that 3D elasticity theory and NSGT are used together with no approximation to derive the governing equations in the spherical coordinate. Moreover, up to now, the NSGT has not been used for spherical anisotropic nanoparticles. It is also the first time that all the 36 elastic constants as functions of (r, θ, φ) are considered for anisotropic and functionally graded nanostructures including size effects. According to the lack of any common approximations in the displacement field or in elastic constant, present theory can be assumed as a benchmark for future works.

This paper utilizes 3D FEM to provide deeper insights about the structural behaviour of a 6.1 m span steel culvert, which was previously tested under extreme loading. The effect of different input parameters pertaining to the backfill soil has been investigated, where the structural response is compared to field measurements. The interface choice between the steel and soil materials was also studied. The results enabled to realize the major influence of the friction angle on the load effects. Moreover, the analyses showed some differences concerning the estimation of failure load, whereas reasons beyond this outcome were arguably presented and discussed.

High strength steel is widely used in industrial applications to improve the load-bearing capacity and reduce the overall weight and cost. To take advantage of the benefits of this type of steel in construction, an innovative hybrid fabricated member consisting of high strength steel tubes welded to mild steel plates has recently been developed. Component-scale uniaxial and multiaxial cyclic experiments have been conducted with simultaneous constant or varying axial compression loads using a multi-axial substructure testing facility. The structural interaction of high strength steel tubes with mild steel plates is investigated in terms of member capacity, strength and stiffness deterioration and the development of plastic hinges. The deterioration parameters of hybrid specimens are calibrated and compared against those of conventional steel specimens. Effect of varying axial force and loading direction on the hysteretic deterioration model, failure modes and axial shortening is also studied. Plate and tube elements in hybrid members interact such that the high strength steel is kept within its ultimate strain range to prevent sudden fracture due to its low ultimate to yield strain ratio while the ductile performance of plate governs the global failure mechanism. High strength material also significantly reduces the axial shortening in columns which prevents undesirable frame deformations.

In recent years, concrete-filled box or tubular columns have been commonly used in high-rise buildings. However, a number of fire test results show that there are significant differences between high strength concrete (HSC) and normal strength concrete (NSC) after being subjected to high temperatures. Therefore, this paper presents an investigation on the fire resistance of HSC filled steel tubular columns (CFTCs) under combined temperature and loading. Two groups of full-size specimens were fabricated to consider the effect of type of concrete infilling (plain and reinforced) and the load level on the fire resistance of CFTCs. Prior to fire test, a constant compressive load (i.e., load level for fire design) was applied to the column specimens. Thermal load was then applied on the column specimens in form of ISO 834 standard fire curve in a large-scale laboratory furnace until the set experiment termination condition was reached. The results demonstrate that the higher the axial load level, the worse the fire resistance. Moreover, in the bar-reinforced concrete-filled steel tubular columns, the presence of rebars not only decreased the spread of cracks and the sudden loss of strength, but also contributed to the load-carrying capacity of the concrete core.

Is there a Red Lobster in the UK or London? (2023)
By Girl Gone London / September 20, 2022 January 18, 2023
With its homequarters in my hometown of Orlando, Red Lobster has become a popular household name when friends and family want a quite bite to eat.
I'm not a huge seafood fan myself, but if you're wondering if there's a Red Lobster in the UK or a Red Lobster in London, chances are that you are!
I can practically hear the sounds of Red Lobster commercials in the background now (everyone always looks SO excited to be chowing down on shrimp!), and as your friendly neighborhood guide to all of the American chains in (or not in) the UK, I think it's my job to help you answer the question…
"Is there a Red Lobster in the UK or England or London?"
Sadly, that would be a negative.
There is no Red Lobster in London, England, or the entire UK.
The UK does have some seafood places (fish and chips, anyone?), and we'll discuss alternatives to Red Lobster below as well.
Before we launch into the history of Red Lobster in the UK and figuring out why there's not a Red Lobster in the UK, I wanted to let you know that I've put together some amazing resources for anyone either visiting the UK or moving there long term.
Firstly, no matter your reason for being here, you need the best book on living in the UK for Americans ever written – the book is called "Girl Gone London: An American's Guide to Surviving Life in the UK" and you should click here and check it out.
I also may have written it, so I'm biased.
But truly, if you're coming to the UK as an expat, a study abroad student, or even a visitor, my guide to life in the UK contains both personal anecdotes and maybe too-honest experiences, as well as resources and advice on topics ranging from homesickness in the UK (or how not to rage book a flight to America like I did), driving in the UK, being a student in the UK, and more practical advice about bank accounts, buying houses, and more.
It's truly a one stop shop for all of the weirdness and wonderfulness (is that a word?) that comes along with life in the UK, and also there is plenty of opportunity to laugh at me as I share all of my expat fails so there's that.
If you're coming here just for a visit, you'll want to check out the article below on how to use the London Underground without looking like an idiot, as well as understanding the UK money system and the difference between coins.
For those of you who are expats in the UK, you'll enjoy the article on culture shock or the one about my experiences learning how to drive in the UK as an American (spoiler alert: lots of yelling involved).
Culture Shock: The Things We Don't Talk About
An American Girl's Guide to Surviving the London Underground
Understanding UK Money: Pence, Not Cents!
Driving in England as an American: An Apology to UK Drivers
Anyway, here we go with more information on Red Lobster in the UK.
History of Red Lobster
Red Lobster first opened its doors in Lakeland, Florida in 1968.
The expansion took place within the southeastern United States first, and today Red Lobster has over 700 locations.
These locations aren't just confined to the US, as they've also expanded into Canada and other international locations like the United Arab Emirates.

In order to appeal to more customers and revamp their image, Red Lobster underwent a major design change around 2013 that made its restaurants reflect a more New England style of architecture.
Today, Red Lobster definitely isn't known for being a high class or fancy restaurant – it's a casual American dining chain that serves up seafood.
It's not going to be freshly caught or the best of the best, but you know what you're getting when you go into it.
Despite American's love for Red Lobster and other chains like Olive Garden, Red Lobster has never come to the UK.
By I, Laslovarga, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=2354801
There are a few Trip Advisor reviews made by Brits who have enjoyed Red Lobster while in America begging the franchise to make the trip across the pond, but so far no luck.
We'll discuss more in the next section the alternatives to Red Lobster in the UK, but one of the main reasons I can see for the failure of the brand to move over to the UK is simply because the UK is an island where getting seafood is going to be much easier and fresher.
The UK isn't huge on chain restaurants in the same way America is, either, so the seafood restaurants you are going to find are going to be individual restaurants with their own specialties.
Alternatives to Red Lobster in the UK
There are a lot of restaurants that I understand Americans craving when they're in the UK.
I get wanting Outback Steakhouse to come to the UK because you want a Bloomin Onion, I understand Chick Fil A lovers wanting Chick fil A in the UK for the amazing waffle fries, and I am totally on board with trying to convince Olive Garden to come to the UK for the breadsticks.
But in a country that's famous for its fish and chips, there's no real reason in my mind for Red Lobster to come over just yet!
Fish and Chips shops
If you're craving seafood in the UK, you're totally in luck.
There's going to be a fish and chips shop SOMEWHERE nearby, whether you're in London or in Brighton or in the Midlands.
Fish and chips aren't even just a national dish, they're part of UK culture like drinking tea and complaining about things.
The fish in "fish and chips" is typically cod or haddock, though there are sometimes other choices.
Trust me, you'll forget all about Red Lobster as soon as you dig into a giant plant of amazing chunky french fries (chips) and some battered cod.
Loch Fyne Seafood & Grill
If you're like, "yes, I hear you, but I still really want seafood in a chain restaurant in the UK," then check out Loch Fyne Seafood & Grill.
They've got about 24 restaurants across the UK and specialize in fresh seafood served up in a more classy atmosphere than a Red Lobster.
If you're looking to save money, they've got lots of set deals and various saver menus that can help you get your seafood fix for less.

Coming to London Soon?
Since you're here I'm assuming you're intent on visiting this amazing city soon! A great way to really immerse yourself in UK culture is see the sights with the help of a guided tour. I've picked out a few highly recommended ones below!
Tower of London Tour with Crown Jewels: One of the best things about having a Royal family is imagining you'll be a part of it one day… and what better way than to imagine yourself in their jewels!
Or at least stare dumbfoundedly. Either way, this tour is a sure fire way to get dazzled by London.
Westminster to Greenwich River Thames Cruise: London is built around the River Thames, and one could even say it's the most important part of the whole city! As such there's no better, or relaxing for that matter, way to see the sights than from the view of the river itself!
This tour takes you around the city and shows why all Londoners are really still rugged sea voyagers at heart, if maybe just a little more posh now.
Oxford, Stratford, and Cotswolds: Londoners would have you fooled, but there's more to this beautiful nation than just what remains within the confines of London… shocker I know!!
And if picturesque beauty is what you're looking for I really recommend checking out the quaint and historical towns that scatter the outskirts. If nothing else, this tour will give you a break from commuting by the tube, and we all need that eventually.
