Four Seasons launches Bali's first hotel arrival by river raft
April 24, 2019 by Forimmediaterelease
Famed for its dramatic treetop arrival via a suspension bridge, the World's #1 Hotel is now offering guests a 180-degree change of perspective, with Bali's first hotel arrival by river raft.
Submerged in a river valley close to the artistic center of Ubud, Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan has launched the innovative rafting check-in as an option for guests transferring from its sister Resort, the beach-front Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay on Bali's south-west coast. Instead of the usual 90-minute road transfer, travellers combining a stay at both Resorts can instead be taken by private car (60 minutes' drive) to the departure point for a two-hour rafting adventure down Bali's longest river, the Ayung. While they enjoy a leisurely guided adventure through Class III rapids with views of lush jungle, rice terraces and majestic gorges, their luggage continues by car and precedes their arrival at Four Seasons Resort Sayan.
After discovering secluded sites – including a natural holy spring and an historic dam belonging to Bali's th-century UNESCO World Heritage-listed subak irrigation system – rafters land directly at the Resort's Riverside Restaurant. Waiting staff ensure a seamless check-in and within minutes guests are relaxing in their room, delivering a hotel arrival unlike any other.
"The Resort is well known for its magical rooftop arrival. Many guests stop in their tracks and are even brought to tears as they cross the bridge, full of wonder and awe, listening to the forest 'symphony' and descending into the hotel from the treetops. This new arrival by river offers the opposite view with a slow reveal from under the canopy of trees, making it perfect for repeat guests who have experienced the bridge arrival before," says Resort Manager Gianni Costa. "It does not feel like a check-in experience, but rather a transition to another world, welcomed by the friendliest people on Earth."

Akaryn Hotel expansion: Aleenta Mountain Retreat in Bali and Akyra resort in Hoi An
Akaryn Hotel Group, a Thailand based boutique hotel specialist, is preparing to expand into international markets for the first time, with the launch of its pioneering hospitality brands in Indonesia and Vietnam.
In the coming months, two of the group's hotel concepts will make their international debuts. Aleenta, the original barefoot luxury brand that first launched in Thailand in 2004, will be introduced to Bali, Indonesia's "Island of the Gods", and akyra, the trend-setting boutique brand, will arrive in Hoi An, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed port town in central Vietnam.
Aleenta Retreat Bali will be a spiritual sanctuary in the island's mountainous north, an hour's drive from Ubud. Designed in a classical low-rise Balinese style, this serene wellness retreat will feel a million miles away from the busy tourist resorts in the island's south. Nestled in the lush, jungle-clad hills, this exquisite hideaway will allow guests to relax and reconnect with each other in paradise. The 50 rooms will be large and luxurious, whilst also exuding authenticity and being equipped with the latest amenities.
A spa village and yoga resort, Aleenta Retreat Bali will feature an extensive Ayurah Wellness centre, where guests can unwind with an array of soothing treatments, including traditional Balinese massages and natural therapies. An outdoor yoga area will overlook reflective ponds and a fitness centre will allow guests to enjoy an invigorating workout in paradise.
A choice of restaurants will focus on fresh, organic ingredients, while the Pool Bar will serve refreshing drinks during the day and after dark. Local handicrafts will be available at the Galleria boutique, and guests will have plenty of opportunities to head out and discover the local area, including Ubud, Bali's cultural capital. Aleenta Retreat Bali will also provide an elegant setting for weddings and functions, with a choice of indoor or alfresco event spaces.
"Aleenta was our first brand and our pioneering resorts in Phuket and Hua Hin have become hugely popular among guests. Every Aleenta property is designed to reflect the timeless charm and character of its destination, featuring large living spaces and world-class facilities while also operating in harmony with the environment. Aleenta Retreat Bali will be a fantastic addition to our portfolio; secluded, spiritual and sensual, this sublime sanctuary will allow guests to discover the true essence of the Island of the Gods," said ," said AKARYN Hotel Group's Founder and Managing Director, Anchalika Kijkanakorn.
Also opening its doors in 2019 will be akyra Hoi An, unique waterfront resort nestled midway between Hoi An's historic town centre and golden China Beach. Located on the banks of the Thu Bon estuary, this low-rise boutique retreat will be accessible either by car or by boat and many of the 110 stylish rooms and pool villas will sit on the water's edge.
Guests can soak up this stunning setting with a morning yoga class, a spa treatment at the Ayurah Wellness centre, a dip in the onsen or a workout in the modern fitness centre. Alternatively, they can simply plunge into the inviting outdoor infinity pool. Young guests will be kept entertained at the kids' club, and all ages can discover delectable Vietnamese and international cuisine at a choice of two restaurants and a pool bar.
akyra Hoi An will provide the perfect balance between cultural exploration and tropical relaxation; the enchanting port town of Hoi An, with its diverse heritage and alluring architecture, is just a short distance away, while the golden sand and azure sea of Vietnam's central coast is also easily accessible. It will also provide a spectacular setting for events and dream weddings.
"With its peaceful and picturesque waterfront setting, halfway between the city and the sea, akyra Hoi An will allow visitors to discover everything this charming destination has to offer. Guests who have experienced akyra's hotels and resorts in Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai will be familiar with the brand's trend-setting style. We look forward to introducing guests to a new era of contemporary, cutting-edge hospitality in this idyllic location," Anchalika added.
AKARYN Hotel Group currently operates a collection of captivating boutique hotels and resorts across Thailand, including Aleenta Hua Hin-Pranburi, Aleenta Phuket-Phang Nga, akyra Beach Club Phuket, akyra Manor Chiang Mai, akyra Thonglor Bangkok and the most recent addition to its portfolio, akyra TAS Sukhumvit Bangkok.

Bali – the popular tourist island of Indonesia and Asia is often called among travelholics as ––"Island of the Gods", "Tropical Paradise" or "Dawn of the World".

Xtra Aerospace in Florida also responsible for Boeing 737 Max crash?
Our purpose is to ensure each flight is safe and cost-effective every day. This is the message on the Xtra Aerospace website. The Xtra Aerospace states their maintenance division can provide optimal maintenance to all of the unique aviation needs.
Xtra Aerospace may have been very much off on this goal when in Indonesia a Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX crashed after it was repaired in a U.S. aircraft maintenance facility and the so-called angle-of-attack sensor was replaced. This sensor sent erroneous signals causing repeated nose-down movements on the Oct. 29 flight that pilots struggled with until the Boeing Max plunged into the Java Sea. Everyone on board, 189 people were killed.
XTRA Aerospace is an FAA/EASA/ANAC certified repair station located in Miramar, Florida, USA.
Documents obtained by Bloomberg News show the repair station, XTRA Aerospace Inc. in Miramar, Fla., had worked on the sensor. It was later installed on the Lion Air plane on Oct. 28 in Bali, after pilots had reported problems with instruments displaying speed and altitude. There's no indication the Florida shop did maintenance on the Ethiopian jet's device, according to Bloomberg.
Xtra Aerospace states: " We specialize in the repair of instruments, radio & mechanical/electrical accessories. XTRA offers extensive capabilities servicing the A300, A320 family/A330/A340 and Boeing 737 thru 777. We are proud to serve the world's top airlines and suppliers with one goal… complete customer satisfaction.
XTRA Aerospace welcomes the U.S. Government. XTRA is DD2345 certified to obtain military critical technical data. XTRA's cage code is 5FWE2 and we look forward to helping you with all your sourcing and repair needs."
U.S. teams assisting the Indonesian investigation reviewed the work by the company to ensure that there weren't additional angle-of-attack sensors in the supply chain with defects, said a person familiar with the work. They didn't find any evidence of systemic issues on other sensors the company may have worked on.
Bloomberg states in their article:
"Much of the concern by regulators and lawmakers after the Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines crashes has focused on Boeing's design of the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, or MCAS, which was programmed to push down a plane's nose to help prevent aerodynamic stalls in some situations. But the preliminary report by Indonesia on the Lion Air crash shows that maintenance and pilot actions are also being reviewed.
It's common for licensed repair stations to overhaul older parts so they can be resold, said John Goglia, a former member of the NTSB who earlier worked as an airline mechanic. Airlines can save money buying used parts and U.S. regulations require that the parts meet legal standards, Goglia said.
If the sensor was repaired at XTRA Aerospace, "it would have to go through what the manual says to overhaul it," he said. "That means all the steps."
The Indonesian preliminary report doesn't say what went wrong with the device but indicates that the plane's maintenance is a subject of the investigation."
The Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max that crashed on March 10 also apparently had issues with the same type of sensor, which triggered a safety system on the plane that was driving down the plane's nose, according to people familiar with the accident. In that case, investigators are still attempting to locate one of the sensors to help determine why it malfunctioned.

Indonesian national airline Garuda cancels order for 49 Boeing 737 Max 8 jets
March 22, 2019 by Forimmediaterelease
Indonesia's flag carrier Garuda has announced the cancellation of its multi-billion-dollar order for 49 Boeing 737 Max 8 passenger jets after two fatal crashes involving the aircraft in less than five months.
In 2014, Garuda Indonesia signed a $4.9 billion agreement for the delivery of 50 of the Boeing planes, one of which was handed to the company.
The air carrier has now reportedly sent a letter to Boeing to cancel the order for the remaining 737 MAX jets with the representatives of the world's biggest aerospace group expected to visit Jakarta in late March for "further discussion" of the issue.
The move comes amid the latest crash of Boeing's best-selling passenger jet in Ethiopia. The tragedy, which killed all 157 people on board, followed a similar deadly accident in Indonesia that took the lives of 189 people in October.
"Our passengers have lost confidence to fly with the MAX 8," Ikhsan Rosan, spokesperson for Garuda said.
Earlier this month, global air carriers and aviation authorities had to ground the troubled jet over safety concerns until the results of a probe into the crashes are known.
The investigation, currently in its early stages, was launched after the first crash of a 737 MAX aircraft operated by Indonesia's Lion Air.
Boeing's best-selling 737 Max 8 has been extremely popular among the company's customers since it hit the market in 2017. Global airlines and leasing corporations have placed some 5,000 orders for the jet.

Pilots frantic search for fix while Boeing Max8 went down
Ethiopian Airlines and Lions Air most likely have the same deadly scenario accordsidng to a report Reuters today reported about the 31-year-old Lions' Air captain was at the controls of Lion Air flight JT610 flying the Boeing Max 8 when the nearly new jet took off from Jakarta. The first officer was handling the radio, according to a preliminary report issued in November.
The report said:
The pilots of a doomed Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX scoured a handbook as they struggled to understand why the jet was lurching downwards but ran out of time before it hit the water, three people with knowledge of the cockpit voice recorder contents said.
The investigation into the crash, which killed all 189 people on board in October, has taken on new relevance as the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other regulators grounded the model last week after a second deadly accident in Ethiopia.
Investigators examining the Indonesian crash are considering how a computer ordered the plane to dive in response to data from a faulty sensor and whether the pilots had enough training to respond appropriately to the emergency, among other factors.
It is the first time the voice recorder contents from the Lion Air flight have been made public. The three sources discussed them on condition of anonymity.
Reuters did not have access to the recording or transcript.
A Lion Air spokesman said all data and information had been given to investigators and declined to comment further.
Just two minutes into the flight, the first officer reported a "flight control problem" to air traffic control and said the pilots intended to maintain an altitude of 5,000 feet, the November report said.
The first officer did not specify the problem, but one source said airspeed was mentioned on the cockpit voice recording, and a second source said an indicator showed a problem on the captain's display but not the first officer's.
The captain asked the first officer to check the quick reference handbook, which contains checklists for abnormal events, the first source said.
For the next nine minutes, the jet warned pilots it was in a stall and pushed the nose down in response, the report showed. A stall is when the airflow over a plane's wings is too weak to generate lift and keep it flying.
The captain fought to climb, but the computer, still incorrectly sensing a stall, continued to push the nose down using the plane's trim system. Normally, trim adjusts an aircraft's control surfaces to ensure it flies straight and level.
"They didn't seem to know the trim was moving down," the third source said. "They thought only about airspeed and altitude. That was the only thing they talked about."
Boeing Co declined to comment on Wednesday because the investigation was ongoing.
The manufacturer has said there is a documented procedure to handle the situation. A different crew on the same plane the evening before encountered the same problem but solved it after running through three checklists, according to the November report.
But they did not pass on all of the information about the problems they encountered to the next crew, the report said.
The pilots of JT610 remained calm for most of the flight, the three sources said. Near the end, the captain asked the first officer to fly while he checked the manual for a solution.
About one minute before the plane disappeared from radar, the captain asked air traffic control to clear other traffic below 3,000 feet and requested an altitude of "five thou", or 5,000 feet, which was approved, the preliminary report said.
As the 31-year-old captain tried in vain to find the right procedure in the handbook, the 41-year-old first officer was unable to control the plane, two of the sources said.
The flight data recorder shows the final control column inputs from the first officer were weaker than the ones made earlier by the captain.
"It is like a test where there are 100 questions and when the time is up you have only answered 75," the third source said. "So you panic. It is a time-out condition."
The Indian-born captain was silent at the end, all three sources said, while the Indonesian first officer said "Allahu Akbar", or "God is greatest", a common Arabic phrase in the majority-Muslim country that can be used to express excitement, shock, praise or distress.
French air accident investigation agency BEA said on Tuesday the flight data recorder in the Ethiopian crash that killed 157 people showed "clear similarities" to the Lion Air disaster. Since the Lion Air crash, Boeing has been pursuing a software upgrade to change how much authority is given to the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, or MCAS, a new anti-stall system developed for the 737 MAX.
The cause of the Lion Air crash has not been determined, but the preliminary report mentioned the Boeing system, a faulty, recently replaced sensor and the airline's maintenance and training.
On the same aircraft the evening before the crash, a captain at Lion Air's full-service sister carrier, Batik Air, was riding along in the cockpit and solved the similar flight control problems, two of the sources said. His presence on that flight, first reported by Bloomberg, was not disclosed in the preliminary report.
The report also did not include data from the cockpit voice recorder, which was not recovered from the ocean floor until January.
Soerjanto Tjahjono, head of Indonesian investigation agency KNKT, said last week the report could be released in July or August as authorities attempted to speed up the inquiry in the wake of the Ethiopian crash.
On Wednesday, he declined to comment on the cockpit voice recorder contents, saying they had not been made public.

Fendi just made history: The brand hosted the first-ever fashion show at the Trevi Fountain in Rome, Italy, tonight, and it wasn't merely located at the historic fountain—the glass runway was actually positioned on top of the water. How's that for Instagram-worthy?
Naturally, top bloggers and editors turned out in droves for the groundbreaking event. Chiara Ferragni, Chriselle Lim, and Anna Dello Russo were just a few of the famous industry faces spotted in the front row, and that doesn't even include Hollywood celebs like Kate Hudson, who made quite the entrance in a blue chiffon gown.
The event is a fitting way to commemorate Fendi's 90th anniversary: The house contributed to restoring the Trevi Fountain last year. Plus, of course, the brand is based in the Eternal City.
Scroll down to see the best Instagrams from Fendi's runway show at the Trevi Fountain!
Um maravilhoso conto de fadas para ficar na minha história ... @fendi #fendi90years #farytale ????????????

Most cases of malocclusion can be effectively treated with conventional orthodontic braces. First, small, metal brackets have to be attached to the front surfaces of the teeth. A special adhesive material is used to create a long-lasting bond between the hardware and enamel. Also made from durable metal, a thin arch wire is inserted into all of the brackets. The purpose of the wire is to create constant tension, which ultimately moves the teeth into designated positions. Elastic bands, ligatures, ties, hooks and rubber loops can also maintain precise pressure and tension on the teeth. Traditional braces have to be adjusted by our orthodontist in Oak Lawn or Frankfort on a monthly schedule. Some of the small pieces can be replaced, but brackets usually stay on for the entire duration of the treatment.
People who want the ultimate cosmetic benefits and convenience in orthodontics should consider getting invisible aligners. These devices are composed of a patented, medical-grade plastic that has unique properties. First, the material has a virtually transparent texture that allows light to penetrate through. Lightweight and smooth, a clear aligner causes minimal to no discomfort inside the mouth. Of course, the hardware can be taken out for various reasons, including eating, drinking and performing oral hygiene. Our orthodontists utilize 3D scanners to generate precise moldings and impressions of aligners for patients.
Your options for braces aren't just traditional braces and clear aligners. We also have self-ligating and ceramic braces available. Both of these options have their own unique benefits, which can be discussed more in detail during a consultation at one of our offices.
Once a bad bite is corrected by braces or clear aligners, a retainer has to be worn for a certain length of time. An individual who has recently fixed a mild malocclusion might only need to wear a retainer daily for a year or two. The severity of a former bad bite usually dictates the wearing schedule of the retainer. This is a simple mouthpiece that's engineered to maintain pressure on the gums and roots of teeth that are in relatively new positions. The soft tissue in the mouth is very elastic and dynamic, so it might take some time for teeth to permanently settle down into desirable spots. Failure to wear a retainer often leads to a noticeable relapse.
Talk to our team at Petty, Bielik & Burke Orthodontics to learn more about the various types of braces we have available. We'd be happy to assist you at our office in Frankfort or Oak Lawn. Contact us today to schedule an initial consultation!

Silence!
The RAC have extended the mandatory silencing of exhaust systems for racing cars still further this season. Last year six categories were affected, and a further six are to be drawn within the net for 1979, leaving only international formulae outside the web.
The largest outcry has come from the requirement to silence Super Saloon cars. By their very nature these machines carry all kinds of exotic power-plants, as we on Motor Sport discovered when track testing a Volkswagen propelled by an elderly Cosworth DFV 3-litre some two years ago.
It does seem a shame to lose such an inherent part of racing, but when one considers how close some venues have come to closure over noise requirements, it is not a surprising measure.
The exempt categories are: Formula 1-3 single-seater; Atlantic and International Group 1½ (though it is not an FIA formula); Group 2 saloons; Group 5 "silhouette" cars; Group 6 sports cars and recognised historic cars complying with past or present FIA regulations. The level required is 85 dBA at 16 metres, or 115 dBA at 0.5 metres.

A February update!
Alison Baum
I hope you are having the best beginning to 2016.
I've was lucky enough to start the year feeling refreshed and revitalised thanks to some precious holiday time with family and friends.
I'm mindful that not everyone finds this time of year easy and that there are many people who struggle in silence for months or even years. More than 20% of women experience mental health problems in pregnancy and/or in the first year after their baby is born. The sooner women get the help they need the better the outcome for them and their children. That's why we're committed to completing and launching our series of maternal mental health films designed to drive positive change. The series of films, called "Out of the Blue" will launch in the spring following further input from parents and professionals.
Exciting fundraising events in 2016
We are delighted to announce that Hunters law firm has nominated Best Beginnings as its Charity of the year throughout 2016! We're currently working with Hunters on an exciting fundraising events calendar and will be updating the website soon - so please keep an eye on my blog and I'll let you know when the list is live - we'd love it if you join us!
British 10k run
Hunters will be joining Best Beginnings for Team Best Beginnings for the British 10k run on Sunday July 10th. Please email [email protected] to find out more and book your place. There is nothing like a fitness goal to get us moving on these dark winter mornings - to be inspired you might like to look at the 10k page and video from 2015!
London to Paris by bike - my personal challenge and how you can be part of it
As I write this newsletter late at night and following another long day at my desk and in meetings I've made a decision;
It is time for me to set myself a personal challenge and raise vital funds for Best Beginnings.
Here is my challenge to you and me:
If ten people reading this newsletter decide to join Team Best Beginnings to cycle London to Paris in late September to raise funds for the charity then I'll join you!
I've done the bike ride twice before, once with a great group including Best Beginnings' Patron James Sainsbury and once with lots of fabulous actors and midwives. Both trips were AWESOME but they were years ago.....
My work/life balance isn't what it should be and also exercise plays second fiddle to my family so I'm currently hideously out of shape. If I can get fit enough by the autumn to cycle London to Paris than pretty much anyone can.
It will just take ten of you to say "yes" and I'll commit fully to the ride and my training will have to begin! My lovely sons have offered to join me on weekend training bike-rides so I've no excuse!
It would be WONDERFUL if you can help make this happen and/or forward this link onto anyone you know whom you think would like to be involved. If we get a team of 25 then we can have our own bespoke event. A team from Hunters are planning to be part of the ride. It would be great if you as an individual, family or choose to join me.
If you fancy setting yourself a challenge for Best Beginnings and running and cycling isn't your thing, fear not, there are lots of other options. For example, you can join Team Best Beginnings for a Sky Dive! Email: [email protected] to find out more. Whatever challenge you embark upon we'll help you set up your own fundraising page and support you in your fundraising efforts. Together we can make a difference for future generations.
New films in Baby Buddy

We have recently uploaded 20 new films to Baby Buddy and another 40 films will be going live in the next week or two!

Healthcare professionals can:

Get your local service details featured in the Baby Buddy app for FREE
Get support for using Baby Buddy in professional practice
Launch of the Best Beginnings Foundation
We got the New Year off to a great start with the launch of the Best Beginnings Foundation.
The Best Beginnings Foundation will connect us more closely with our major donors and provide us with the steady, supportive building blocks that are essential to create the solid foundations for generations to come.
We have big plans for the future. We plan to continue to grow, innovate, collaborate and deliver on our UK wide mission to tackle inequality in child health, and support the health and wellbeing of parents and their children.
We are recruiting a team of consultant facilitators!
In order that Baby Buddy and Best Beginnings' other resources are used in the most effective way and have maximum impact, we have developed a training and engagement package that supports the thorough embedding of our resources into local care pathways. We have been developing this work over the last three years and have been commissioned to deliver these programmes throughout England mainly by Local Authority Public Health Teams and CCGs. The demand for this work is increasing and therefore we would like to build a flexible, regionally based team of highly skilled facilitators to support us in the delivery our embedding programmes.
If you are interested in joining our team and supporting us in helping every child to have the best start in life, please see the details here.
Thank you to everyone who has generously donated, set up a regular payment, or is one of our ongoing fundraisers. Every donation makes a difference. Last year we achieved an impressive 95p in every pound received being spent on our charitable activities.
To help us reach even more families please donate online or text Best01 £5 to 70070.
Also, if you want to support Best Beginnings without spending a penny more than you would normally spend then please download the Baby Buddy app.
Wishing you, your friends and family a happy and healthy new year!
Warmest wishes

Comin' to you live from the source of American destruction.
Okay, that last one is new and could use some work, but it sure did move the crowd.
The one tiny problem with these statements is that they fall apart the second you shed a tiny bit of light on them. So let's do that.
It's true: My own personal agenda centers more on not getting shot than on making gun manufacturers wealthier.
Here I suppose we should thank him for allowing us to explore the downsides of mass shootings.
He went on to cite a handful of cases in which potential mass shootings were thwarted by pistol-packing heroes. And it's true: these things can happen. Well-trained, law-abiding gun owners with naturally true aim can hit a bad guy with a gun. The Washington Times did some reporting and found eleven such cases (in a country of 325 million). The trouble is, these eleven cases are from the last twelve years, and according to the Gun Violence Archive, there have already been 83 mass shootings this year. In an FBI study of the 160 cases that fit their definition of Active Shooter Incidents between the years of 2000-2013, 21, nearly twice as many, ended after shooters were restrained by unarmed citizens.
It's also important to point out that nobody is trying to take all the guns away. Sensible laws, common-sense restrictions, background checks. That's all.
Which brings us to the day's real whopper, which of course came from the President.
Tacit admission that guns are an old form of death for maniac terrorists aside, you have already heard this argument.
Likely it's been over the Thanksgiving table from the Tucker Carlson-watching college freshman in your life, and you were able to debunk it immediately, but for the President of the United States, let's say it again: we regulate cars. We have speed limits and seat belt laws. You have to pass a written test and a road test to get a driver's license, and your headlights have to work. You can't drive one of those NASCAR jobs down the street. And you know what? People still die in car accidents.
These laws aren't perfect. But does anyone think we ought to get rid of them? Should we just be able to drive drunk? Most importantly: have you ever heard anyone use any of these sensible laws and licensing restrictions as evidence that they are coming for our cars?
What our automotive rules and regulations have done, as the horse and buggy has evolved into the Tesla, is keep up. As the musket has become the AR-15, gun laws simply need to do the same.
These guys know better. They are simply serving up red meat to their angriest, most fictionally-aggrieved fans. Meanwhile, according to the American Journal of Medicine, Americans aged 15-24 are 49 times more likely to be murdered by guns than the same age group in other developed countries.
One of them knows better anyway. It's probably not the President of the United States.


In the post-World War II 1950's quite a number of people felt they wanted a change and many chose, Africa as a sparsely populated 'land of opportunity'.
Nairobi in particular expanded rapidly with an influx of settlers from overseas – mainly Europe but also local Africans. In the new housing estates around Nairobi groups of Christians begun meeting in the spirit of 'where two or three are gathered in My Name I am there with them.' Matthew 18:20.
They were galvanized into action by the offer of two plots free by the Buchannan's Kenya Estates, makers of a well-known Scottish Black and White whiskey, who were developing the Lavington area. One plot was to be for the Anglicans and one for the Presbyterians – there were few Methodists in Nairobi at that time.
Inspired by the Holy Spirit and encouraged by the shortage of manpower, money and other resources representatives of the three main line protestant churches – Anglican, Presbyterian and Methodist decided to combine together and use one of the plots for a combined united church and the other for a minister's house and church hall.
The Methodist provided the largest sum of money and a minister so it was decided that the church should be under the jurisdiction and discipline of the Methodist Church in Kenya.
So a delicate balance had to be struck by the Leaders of Lavington Church between being a normal Methodist church and one that catered for the Anglicans, Presbyterians and the Community of Lavington generally.
Truly God led those early leaders and congregations as they signed a formal agreement to build a united church and Lavington Church was formally opened by the Governor Sir Patrick Renison on 4 June 1960.
Some members of Lavington doubted whether such an ecumenical arrangement would work in practice. On 4th July 2010 we celebrated the 50th (Golden) Anniversary, so it is clear that with God all things are possible.
Article by the Late Dr. Andrew Hicks – Went to be with the Lord in May 2017 at a prime age of 98. He witnessed the laying of the foundations of the church in 1959.


Louisiana's most popular pet (other than a dog or cat) is a bird.
It's no wonder we're named the Pelican State. Not that anyone is raising pelicans out there, but birds are a viable pet option. Unless you're afraid of birds, of course. In fact, Insider says they are the third most popular pet in Louisiana.


Easy-walked mountain with a fine view.
At the end of the road at Biellojaure is the beginning of a footpath up to Väretsfjället mountain. This offers an easy hike up to the bare mountain above the treeline, where the path ceases, 4 km. There is a restored tent hut in the topmost birch forest, then very easily-walked mountain heath. Excellent view.

Miles Millar Quotes and Sayings - Page 1
"Audiences are hungry for something different. With binge-watching, they're hungry for interesting content they haven't seen before, and they want to be entertained. A lot of shows are grim, murky and dark. We wanted to spin away from the obvious, the tropes, the cliches and what people are doing right now, and do something different."
-- Miles Millar
#Dark #People #Interesting
"We knew Terry Brooks' work, but we hadn't read the Shannara books. So, they sent us the book to read and we just loved the story and the characters. We thought it would make a very compelling season of television. We were like, "Someone is going to make this. Why don't we do it?""
#Book #Character #Stories
"[Into the Badlands] wasn't going to be two days of a splinter unit at the end of the shoot. The action and the martial arts had to be integral to the show. That's what makes it unique, that's what makes it special and different and ground-breaking. No one has attempted this before on American television."
#Art #Unique #Two
"There's a level of action unlike anything else on television. AMC always makes distinctive television and I think that certainly fits that requirement."
#Thinking #Television #Levels
"We got the idea of nature almost encroaching. It's incredibly lush, incredibly green, we really popped the colors, lots of deep reds and the greens. It really has a sense of color which is unsettling actually and people are like, "It's so colorful.""
#Color #Ideas #People
"It's [Into the Badlands] something that's very, very different and I think that's why it divided critics initially because they didn't understand it or get it. They didn't understand or have a knowledge of what we were trying to do. Bringing in the Asian martial arts aesthetic to American television. For us, these are the people who will make the show a hit or a failure in future seasons. So it's for us to respect them and interact and see what they have to say."
#Art #Thinking #People
"People want to get immersed and lost in a world. They want to lean in and figure it out, and that's true of both of these shows. You don't know quite what it is, and that's great."
#People #World #Want
"I think that people are really hungry for original content. I think there's a sense of reboots and remakes, and we're lacking in any sense of originality in media. So, I think the people who want something like this which has a graphic novel feel or comic book feel but that is designed and created for the medium of television, I think that is something is very appealing to a lot of people."
#Book #Thinking #Media
"Also, when we did "Smallville," we didn't have an opportunity to interact with people who watched the show. And see what they had to say and listen to criticism and listen to praise at the same time. So a lot of this is a new experience and it's very interesting and rewarding for us. I think we get honest feedback. You get hate. You get a lot of love as well. And I'm actually very curious what people think of the show. For us, it's been a passion project of ours, and an incredibly challenging show to make."
#Hate #Passion #Opportunity
"I think we're always trying to avoid tropes. And I think that "Game of Thrones" has almost made killing people a cliche. For us, it wasn't about that. For six episodes, it's hard to invest in people, and I think when you kill a main character on television it really needs to mean something. So we certainly had talked about that, and I think we managed to juggle the ball to make a gripping, interesting and compelling finale. We feel that we didn't have to go there at this point because we had such few episodes."
#Character #Mean #Thinking
"We liked the idea of introducing the audience to the world, and to show how much they had accepted or were confused by it. It was gratifying to see the people who embraced it immediately and understood it and got into it. They have tracked the characters through the six episodes, so it felt that now we can launch into the journey element of it. And really explore more of the Badlands."
#Confused #Character #Journey
"Another thing we wanted to do, a lot of shows or movies that are in the future or the post-apocalyptic are very bleached, desaturated desert environments and we wanted to do the opposite of that. There's always talk about Chernobyl and the world that environment has recovered has become this idyllic, bizarrely refuge for wildlife."
#Opposites #Idyllic #Desert
"It was very challenging in terms of making sure that everyone is distinct. Also, we wanted to have some Asian influences as well, so that it really is a mashup. We want evidence of our presence in this world, so you'll see there's an interest in technology, that there are not complex electronics. There's electricity in this world, but computers, circuits don't work."
#Technology #Challenges #Asian
"Also, having grown up in England, you walk around London, you're passing relics that are a thousand years old - the wall of London is a thousand years old. You don't talk about it, it's part of your everyday life. The idea that people are in these environments and talking about the past and what happened, it's irrelevant. It's all about living and in this world it was about surviving."
#Wall #Past #Talking
"There's always someone kicking guns. We wanted ["Badlands"] to be a world without guns and bullets, where martial arts was the form of fighting and defense and attack. Martial arts is king in this world. That was the first thing. We didn't want it to be a period piece either. We felt those are overdone and stuffy. That was what lead us to explore that area of science fiction and future, a world we can create and control."
#Art #Kings #Fighting
"There are a couple of specific things about the show [Into the Badlands]. We didn't want to do a contemporary show, which is always "Chinese cop comes to New York, teams up with racist cop, together they fight crime...""

12th-ranked BC escapes upset bid
By Matt Vautour Special to the Sunday Telegram
The University of Massachusetts� third-quarter uprising was enough to create a scare, but not enough to make history as No. 12 Boston College held on to beat the Minutemen, 24-14, yesterday at Alumni Stadium.
�I knew those guys were going to play hard,� BC coach Jeff Jagodzinski said. �That team has a lot of 1-A transfers on it. They�re a lot better than a 1-AA team and that showed today.�
While his team hung with the upper division opponent, UMass coach Don Brown didn�t want to talk about moral victories.
�We didn�t execute as well as we needed to in the first half. We dug ourselves a huge hole,� Brown said. �There are no moral victories at UMass. With (this) team, I think we have a chance to win every game regardless of the opponent.�
Trailing, 17-0, at halftime, UMass made a stand in the second half. It finally got on the board on its second drive after intermission. After forcing the Eagles to punt from deep in their own end, the Minutemen got the ball at the BC 41. Quarterback Liam Coen went deep right away, hitting Rasheed Rancher down the right sideline for a touchdown that made it 17-7 with 10 minutes left in the third.
UMass appeared to have recovered a BC fumble at the Eagle 23, but it was called an incomplete pass on replay. Still, the Minutemen forced a punt on the next play to maintain momentum.
Coen found the end zone again with 5:55 left in the third on a bubble screen to Jeremy Horne. The transfer from Syracuse caught the ball at the 17, and got a block that freed him for an easy scoot into the end zone.
With much of Alumni Stadium is a state of nervous quiet, Matt Ryan directed a 10-play, 65-yard TD drive that Andre Callendar finished with a 4-yard run with 2:34 remaining to give the home team some breathing room.
The Minutemen�s comeback hopes faded early in the fourth quarter when Coen limped off the field after re-injuring his left knee. He didn�t return to the game, but UMass has a bye next weekend and the junior quarterback thinks he�ll be back for the Oct. 13 home game against Villanova.
�It helped that I was already wearing a brace. I think I�ll be all right,� said Coen, who was 12 of 21 for 151 yards.
�If he can play, I know he�ll play,� Brown said. �We�ll see how it plays out.�
UMass attacked Ryan all game, but he made some key throws under pressure and completed 24 of 42 throws for 204 yards and one TD. Callender carried 32 times for 115 yards and two TDs.
The Eagles host Bowling Green, Saturday at noon.
BC�s first two drives were morale boosters for the Minutemen, who forced BC to punt on the first and then settle for a field goal and a 3-0 lead after driving into the red zone on the second.
But UMass� inability to sustain drives and nine first-half penalties kept its defense on the field too long and the Eagles began to pull away. Callender punched the ball in from about 18 inches out with 3:03 left in the first to make it 10-0.
UMass punter Brett Arnold gave the Eagles poor field position, angling a punt out at the 4. But Ryan directed a 96-yard drive and got away with a pass that Charles Walker almost intercepted but couldn�t hold. Ryan hit sophomore Justin Jarvis from nine yards out to make it 17-0 at halftime.


A donor's conference begins in Paris on Thursday to raise funds for Lebanon.
The government also wants financial aid to help cover the costs of the July-August war between Hezbollah and Israel.
the UN secretary-general, who will take part in the Paris conference, called Lebanon "one of the most important, serious areas to which the international community needs to pay attention and cooperate".
He told a news conference on Wednesday after talks with EU leaders in Brussels that the international community needed to help the government "restore political and social and economic stability".
The EU executive said it would pledge nearly 400 million euros ($520 million) more in grants and loans to bring to 500 million euros ($650 million) the total it had provided to Lebanon since last summer.
The additional funds will be for the period until 2010 and will cover not only immediate post-war reconstruction, but also assistance for a longer-term recovery through support for political and economic reforms.
Fuad Siniora, the Lebanese prime minister, left for Paris on Wednesday and met Jacques Chirac, the French president.
A spokesman for the French presidency said following the meeting that Chirac had pledged to loan 500 million euros ($650 million) to Lebanon.
"France will bring Lebanon its support in the form of a 500 million euro loan, extended on highly preferential terms,"
