That's really a good news! Thank you very much for your help!
In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Researcher from China in the field of Chemical Engineering. His specialized research has focused on investigating and designing of chiral separation processes, approaches, and methods relevant to pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing, design of energy polygeneration processes to supplement conventional coal and natural gas based energy production methods, and development of carbon capture technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. His work had resulted in 13 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 8 presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 186 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of his major influence and impact on the field of endeavor, in addition to his sustained international acclaim. He had also reviewed 26 manuscripts for at least 6 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, "[Client]'s research brings forth a new wave of studies in coal- and biomass-based energy polygeneration processes that are already greatly benefitting the chemical and energy industries of this country. These processes facilitate high energy efficiency, low CO2 emissions, and high profitability (of polygeneration plants), all of which benefit the environmental, economical, and industrial interests of the United States." It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of Chemical Engineering, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in just 20 days.

The Buccleuch Family: Stories of Old Families
By: W. Chambers, LL.D
Book Details: 18 pages, 8.5x11, (1878), 2005, 8?x11, paper, 18 pp, Softcover, Heritage Books, Inc
This brief sketch of the Scotts of Buccleuch touches over 500 years of family history, spanning 1265-1878, and carries the reader to "a time when society in Scotland was in a comparatively unsettled condition." Discussions on the Peeblesshire Scotts, Sir Walter Scott, Lord Scroop - the Laird of Buccleuch, Lord Scott of Buccleuch, the tragedy of Countess Mary, and the succession of Dukes of Buccleuch are interwoven with Scottish history. "The Scotts of Buccleuch have from their earlier records till the present day possessed a certain distinctive character… With a character to sustain, they live decorously and modestly on their heritable domains, taking a reasonable part in legislation and what concerns the public welfare." This pleasant narrative is short, but offers a surprising amount of information

The people of Seville enjoy their city's warm weather almost as much as they enjoy eating good food and drinking cold beer. So it came as a bit of a shock to find that there are virtually no food trucks in the capital of Andalusia. The reason is partly due to Spain's strict rules about parking and, according to established restaurateur, Cayetano Gómez, partly due to the fact that the food trucks in Seville sold low-quality fare to inebriated bar and clubgoers. Feeling that food trucks took advantage of their less-than-sober clientele, Seville experienced a backlash against mobile cuisine causing it to all but disappear. But Cayetano has set out to change that. Inspired by his travels around the world, Cayetano has created La Cayejera, a phenomenal truck that serves a unique fusion of international cuisine with a Spanish touch.
I found La Cayejera parked next to a beautiful park called Prado de San Sebastián, and Cayetano's sister, Lucia, recommended that I start with their signature hamburguesa de añojo (yearling calf). Based on his time living in the United States, Cayetano celebrates the hamburger by combining three different cuts of meat. He also includes crispy bacon in the patty—a nod to Spain's love affair with pork. The meat is then topped with more bacon, arugula, cheddar, and served on a French brioche bun. Cooked a perfect medium rare, the bun and burger is the type of melt in your mouth good that gives In-N-Out a serious run for its money. The burger comes with thick-cut roasted potatoes served with the truck's signature Cayejera sauce, a spicy but creamy mixture of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, taco spices, and Sriracha.
Next up was the arroz meloso, a hybrid of paella and Italian risotto. Since Spaniards enjoy seafood almost as much as they do pork, Cayetano includes king prawns which perfectly complement the creamy richness of the dish. The rice is cooked with sherry, a classic Spanish wine, to give it a hint of acidity as well as azafrán to give it an aromatic quality. Finally, I ordered the Chicken Tenday, La Cayejera's ode to Korean cooking. The chicken is marinated in soy sauce, ginger, and peanut butter and layered with strips of crispy, fried onion and topped with coconut foam. The balance of crunchy onion and creamy foam give the peanut butter flavored chicken an excellent texture.
With an array of fantastic fusion dishes, La Cayejera is a strong opening salvo in Cayetano's campaign to reinvent the food truck in Seville. Using only fresh ingredients sourced locally in Andalusia, Cayetano has taken a strong stand against the notion that food trucks serve food that only drunk people would eat. When he opened the truck in June, 2014, Cayetano noticed that the first customers were foreigners—people who already know how incredible food trucks can be. But slowly he has seen more and more locals stopping by, a testament to the fact that an excellent food truck can win over even the harshest critic.


A concise but comprehensive introduction to the biology of standing waters (lakes and ponds). As with other books in the Biology of Habitats Series, the emphasis in The Biology of Lakes and Ponds is on the organisms that dominate freshwater environments. Management and conservation aspects are also considered. The first edition of the book published in 1998 with a second, revised edition in 2005. There has been significant development in the field since the last revision appeared, particularly in the ecology of lakes and ponds in subtropical and tropical areas, and a new revision of this now classic text is timely.
Christer Brönmark completed his undergraduate studies as well as his PhD thesis at Lund University. After defending his PhD in 1985 he did a postdoc at Ohio State University, Columbus and then returned to Lund University where he now has a position as Professor of Aquatic Ecology. His research interest deals with the predation in freshwater systems at different organisational levels, from effects on individual behaviour and inducible defence adaptations to indirect interactions in food webs at the community level. At present, he is working with the causes and consequences of partial migration in freshwater fish and proximate mechanisms behind the expression of inducible defences. He regularly teaches courses on population and community ecology, aquatic ecology, and limnology.
Lars-Anders Hansson's PhD thesis dealt with competitive interactions among primary producers and was defended in 1989. Thereafter he spent some years as a post-doc focussing on aquatic food web interactions and on habitat shifts by algae and zooplankton from sediment to water. Most of his studies have been carried out in Europe, but he has also worked in the USA, as well as in polar regions, such as Siberia, Alaska, Canada, and Antarctica. Specifically, he has studied how zooplankton utilises their morphological and behavioural plasticity to handle simultaneous multiple threats and has used nanotechnology to track the behaviour of individual animals. Although his main interest has been within curiosity driven, research, he also has an interest in more applied issues, such as the possibility of restoring aquatic ecosystems, how to handle effects from climate change, and how novel environmental threats, such as the immense use of nanosized particles, may affect aquatic ecosystems.
"[...] Bronmark and Hansson have produced an excellent text on the ecology of lakes and ponds for undergraduates [...] This book is clearly and concisely written and would be very useful as a reference for graduate students and instructors as well"
"It does an excellent job at introducing a remarkably wide array of limnological concepts for such a small book. It is very readable and its style will inspire many undergraduate students."
"[...] this edition keeps the book as the foremost introductory text to the subject."

9 Best Catherine the Great Books
by Joel Stafford January 16, 2022
Catherine the Great came to the throne as a German princess and pushed Russia through its Golden Age – many consider her to be the empress that changed the destiny of the country. The situation was not the best when she took over. However, she managed to survive all the challenges around her and run the country for over three decades, until she died in 1796.
Whether you want to learn more about what made her such a loved monarch or you are simply interested in a unique story, here are some of the best-rated and detailed books on her life. Take one Catherine the Great book at a time and get ready to build a whole image of what Russia was before and after the monarch.
Russia in the Age of Catherine the Great, by Isabel de Madariaga
This is a detailed story of one of the most colorful leaders in the world. It provides a detailed and panoramic view of Russia from all points of view – cultural, economic and political. The social aspect is also taken into consideration.
At times, the book is written like fiction, yet it provides a clear representation of history. It is sparkling and funny at times, but also exciting and interesting. It literally transports you back to the 18th century and balances details in a quirky manner.
Based on detailed and meticulous research, it provides a plethora of details that you may not necessarily find in history books. It is a crystal-clear representation of Russia and the changes it has been through over the 18th century – totally worth a read.
Catherine the Great, by Simon Dixon
At times, this Catherine the Great book feels like a biography. Other times, it feels like you are going through a classic history book. It is scholarly, but it also has a refreshing profile. It portrays the charismatic monarch throughout her leadership years – how it all started and how her reign changed Russia.
The book is like a portrait. It describes everything about an extraordinary leader that defined Russia's best years. It describes how she has managed to rise her power, but also how she struggled to give Russia a new face – engaging and attractive at the same time.
Whether you are new to Catherine the Great or you are a real fan of this monarch, chances are you will find plenty of details that history books miss. There is lots of new material for the seasoned fan, while newbies will be dazzled by the experience.
Catherine the Great and Potemkin, by Simon Sebag Montefiore
This release does not necessarily cover Catherine the Great's reign and the changes she took Russia through. Instead, it analyzes the relationship between the monarch and Potemkin. Grigory Potemkin caught her eye with his gallantry throughout the coup that gave her Russia's throne.
The next three decades kept them together. Discover a secret marriage, pure love and a relationship that allowed them to satisfy their appetites for love. Potemkin was more than just a lover though. He was an incredible statesman that helped the monarch find allies and expand her influence throughout Europe.
This book can be described as a biography as well, as it analyzes Potemkin's accomplishments during Catherine the Great's reign. The author also describes Russia's expansion as an empire under the couple's leadership.
Catherine the Great: Selected Letters, by Andrew Kahn and Kelsey Rubin-Detlev
This book is basically written by Catherine the Great. Sure, she had no thoughts of publishing her most intimate letters in a book. However, the letters have been found and kept in good condition, so they were compiled together in a book that reveals some of her deepest thoughts.
Her personal letters describe an incredible picture of Russia in those times. They also provide more insights into her intimate life, as well as her personal development throughout the reign. Her skills are also clearly defined through her correspondence – whether it comes to military or political abilities.
A golden ruler for more than three decades, Catherine the Great reformed the country and contributed to the expansion of the empire. She promoted sciences and arts and brought in some of the brightest minds around Europe – such as Voltaire and Diderot. All these ideas and plans are clearly expressed in her letters.
Working the Rough Stone, by Douglas Smith
This Catherine the Great book is not necessarily about Catherine the Great, but about life under her reign. The book analyzes the society in the 18th century in Russia, with a strong focus on freemasonry. It is inspired from sources and manuscripts that are not necessarily available to scholars.
In other words, you will discover aspects of the Russian lifestyle that you may not be familiar with. The author also analyzes what drew so many intellectual leaders and bright minds to Russia, as well as the move towards freemasonry, change and progress.
The title is self-explanatory – the society worked the rough stone of all kinds of feelings and thoughts. All these people contributed to the enlightenment of Russia. The author also challenges some old-fashioned notions regarding Russian society.
The Memoirs of Catherine the Great, by Hilde Hoogenboom and Markus Cruse
This is another book that was actually written by Catherine the Great. Again, it was not meant to be a book, but her memoirs and personal thoughts were written down and made into a modern book. The monarch was responsible for supporting the enlightenment move across Russia and this is what most of the book is focused on.
The monarch has also written down thoughts on the expansion plans of the country, as well as her will to dominate and change the empire. Furthermore, there are spicy details about her numerous lovers, as well as her intimate life – everything translated from the original writings.
The memoirs have been translated from more languages. Fluent in German, Russian and French, Catherine the Great wrote her thoughts on Voltaire, among many other famous figures. She wrote about comedies, history, journalism, political theory and so on – everything is now public for those who want to know more about Russia. This is one the best Catherine the Great book on this list.
Love and Conquest, by Douglas Smith
The history has brought in all kinds of romances, but only a few can compare to what Catherine the Great and Grigory Potemkin experienced. He was her main lover, but he also helped her rule the Russian empire. Furthermore, their complicated relationship has led to a secret marriage as well.
Their letters are different from what you might expect from political leaders. These letters are intimate and detailed. Some of them relate to the relationship between them, while others bring in discussions on major political events regarding the expansion and fate of the Russian empire.
The intensity of their relationship is what makes these letters stand out. During the first few months, Catherine the Great was literally consumed by her passion for her lover. All in all, this book brings in some of the most revealing letters of correspondence – letters that have never been translated into English before.
Memoirs of the Empress Catherine II, by Aleksandr Herzen
Catherine II – most commonly known as Catherine the Great – had the good habit of keeping journals and writing memoirs. None of her personal writings has been revealed throughout her reign. Many of them were kept secret until recently – today, everyone has access to her deepest thoughts.
The book was practically written by Catherine the Great, yet her work was put together by Aleksandr Herzen. Get ready to discover insights into the monarch's life – ideas and thoughts that have never made it to history books.
The memoirs go in more directions. Some of them refer to her dreams of embracing enlightenment and bringing it to Russia. Some others refer to her lovers and tumultuous life, not to mention the plans to expand the empire – definitely a must-read Catherine the Great book if you are interested in Russia.
Catherine the Great, by Robert K. Massie
This is the second book in The Romanovs series. It reveals the life – more or less known aspects – of Catherine the Great. Catherine was a young princess who went to Russia when she was only 14 and turned out to be one of the most powerful women in the world's history.
Catherine was born in a minor nobility in Germany, but she became one of the world's best empresses by pure determination. She has always had a curious mind, which challenged her and gave her the motivation to change and expand the Russian empire.
The book follows her entire life – from correspondences with Voltaire or Marie Antoinette and domestic rebellion issues to her husband, children and multiple lovers.
Bottom line, no matter what Catherine the Great book you choose to expand your knowledge or satisfy your curiosity, any of the above-mentioned titles will give you a deeper insight into the monarch's life and her incredible achievements. From personal memoirs revealing unknown secrets to descriptions of the Russian society in the 18th century, there is a bit for everyone.

Sodium vapor deposition is acknowledged to be a potential problem in several activities associated with Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors (LMFBRs). Attempts were made to predict sodium evaporation rates using the empirical expression Nu = 0.643 (GrSc)0.25 developed for the evaporation of water. Small scale experiments were performed which indicate the general validity of this expression for sodium evaporation. The experiments also demonstrated that deposition of sodium within inert gas filled enclosures can be substantially reduced by circulating and filtering the atmosphere of the enclosure.

, great conditions can prevail. Dress warm, layer up and have fun. The next few weeks could be the best of the season throughout the Northeast.
Into the "Freshies" at Waterville Valley Ski Resort in New Hampshire.
As we evolve to be skiers we go through times when work overshadows play. That usually happens in the early years of skier development or at least it has for me since I did not start to ski till I was 26 years old. When college was over and I was then gainfully employed. The early years of skiing amounted to getting away whenever I could on the weekend, which wasn't easy with 2 young kids and a wife who did not want to ski. So whenever there was an opportunity I took advantage of it.
I hear people complaining about night skiing and it's too cold, bad visibility, etc. I say to them they are crazy. It is a great way to get out when it is not possible any other way or you want to beat the crowds on the weekend.
It all started at Brody Mountain, long gone since it was purchased by Jiminy Peak and closed down. We used to go over there every Tuesday night for years going past Jiminy Peak. We chose Brodie over Jiminy even though they both had night learn to ski packages. Brodie offered 8 weeks of skiing and 1 free night at the end with 1 ½ hour group lesson. Jiminy had the same but for 7 weeks. So I guess it was the better deal that drove the decision. Of course gas was not an issue in the 60's so driving by Jiminy was never an issue. Maybe it was the Blarney Room? Who knows? Anyway, night skiing was the choice then and I always liked it because it was my way of getting out to ski at least once a week.
Why nights you ask? It was always colder but almost always the wind dies down at night, the lights always made the ski surface more defined rather than in the daytime you can get very flat light and not see the surface at all and it feels like you are skiing blind. Of course night skiing has fewer people on the slopes; however we have fewer trails available to ski as in the daytime. As far as I was concerned as long as I am on the snow the number of trails available to me is never an issue.
Let's jump forward to this past holiday weekend, Saturday night December 29th to be exact. We went over to Jiminy Peak for 4 hours of night skiing, we could have gone for twilight 3 – 10 for a few dollars more but the timing just wasn't working out. Remember this is the holiday week and I heard that there were 4800 skiers on the mountain during the day and the annex parking lots were full. The lift lines at the 6 pack hi speed Berkshire Express wasn't any more than a 10 minute wait and the other lifts were much less, as a matter of fact when there is a long lift line at the high speed chair you can get to the top quicker on the fixed grip chairs where you usually don't have to wait. I am going to test that theory next time I go to the mountain on a crowded day.
The skiing that night was absolutely wonderful, especially after having 5000 people on the slopes all day long you would expect it to scratch up and become a firm frozen granular surface. Instead it lightly snowed all evening and the trails never degraded. I think Jiminy tries to run groomer up the mountain when the trails do degrade around twilight time to help keep the mountain skiable for the customer, that is good customer relations!
We found trails that we barely touched which were off the beaten track. People are creatures of habit and keep taking the same and more popular trails so if you look for the side trails and hidden trails sometimes you can find some freshies even late in the day. The 2 favorite trails on the mountain at night are West Way to Grand Slam and Left Bank a 2+ mile run for the learning skier to come down from the top but even for me it is still a fun run. A few surprise trails to look for are upper and lower slingshot and John Hancock, both a little tucked away and easy to miss but quite nice with little traffic. I always believed in seeking out the less popular trails to find better conditions on any mountain also to ski the harder trails early and the easier trails later in the day where the conditions hold up longer and you are exhausted.
Their lodges and accommodations are always immaculate, which is hard to do at a ski area! J.J's Lodge always has a fire burning outside the front door for a quick warm-up and the cafeteria food line is quite up to date with offerings. There is always music being piped into the lodges and I must commend them as to the choices of music being played.
If you have not been to Jiminy in a while it is worth giving them a second look. They have some great promos by going on line and finding their e tickets and many other deals. Remember it is one of the closest ski area to the capital district, under an hour to get there even from Clifton Park!

Honesty and Hardwork.
The cornerstone of a successful business.
A-1 Sanitation is a company with deep roots that was established in 1961 by Tom Sanders. Tom, a son of a farmer, grew up knowing what hard work and persistence was all about. After serving in the Army for two years during the Korean Conflict, he came back to his home town and decided that farming was not to be his life's work. He worked in a service station for three years before deciding to buy the business. Three years later he sold the station to go into the trash business with a partner, hence
A-1 Sanitation was born.
When the Campbell Soup Company came to Paris, Tom was providing trash service for the construction project. He was asked if he could provide a portable toilet service as well. Tom saw an opportunity to create a needed service that no one else in the area provided. At first he rented some units from a company out of Dallas and then later built ten wooden portable toilets. His service vehicle was a ½ ton pick-up truck, with a 200-gallon tank which used the vacuum from the gasoline engine to pump the units. It was a learn-as-you-go operation, but he learned fast.
The years saw many changes in the industry and in Tom's life. He started expanding into septic system pumping, restaurant grease trap service, and industrial pumping. As business began to pick up, Tom decided to sell his part in the trash business to his partner and focus more on the pumping service.
Along with his business, Tom's family also grew. Tom and his wife Barbara raised five children while managing the daily demands of a growing company. His youngest son Kelly went with his dad many times on jobs as a young boy and learned the trade first hand. Kelly went to work for A-1 Sanitation full time in 1990 and still carries on his fathers' belief that honesty and hard work are the cornerstone of a successful business.
Kelly and his wife, Stephanie purchased A-1 Sanitation from Tom in late 1996 and began improving the day to day operations of the company. They started by purchasing larger more efficient pumping equipment, updating the portable toilets, and adding a GPS system to keep track of their growing fleet of vehicles. The billing office computerized their entire accounting department and they incorporated in January of 2000. Today
A-1 Sanitation employs six people and is Licensed in Texas and Oklahoma serving a 50 mile radius of Paris.

Sick of suffering through the sniffles? Next time you feel a cold coming on try one of these strategies to bring it to a dead halt.
It's less likely to be contaminated with viruses than your fingertip. This is particularly important because the eye provides a perfect entry point for germs, and the average person rubs his eyes or nose or scratches his face 20-50 times a day, notes Jordan Rubin, Ph.D., author of The Maker's Diet.
You think it gets your teeth clean-and it does. But once you're done brushing, your toothbrush is a breeding ground for germs. Sterilize it in the microwave before you use it, or simply replace it every month, or after you've had a cold.
When the U.S.-based Naval Health Research Center conducted a study of 40,000 recruits who were ordered to wash their hands five times a day, the recruits cut their incidence of respiratory illnesses by 45 per cent.
Carry hand sanitizer gel or sanitizing towelettes with you and you can clean your hands anytime, even if the closest water supply is 100 miles away. It works. One study of absenteeism due to infection in elementary schools found schools using the gel sanitizer had absentee rates from infection nearly 20 per cent lower than those using other hand-cleaning methods.
Believe it or not, blaming yourself makes you more likely to catch a cold! At least, that's what researchers found when they studied more than 200 workers over three months. Even those who had control over their work were more likely to begin sneezing if they lacked confidence or tended to blame themselves when things went wrong.
Buy a six or twelve-pack of tissue boxes and strategically place them around the house, your workplace, and your car. Don't let aesthetics stop you. You need tissues widely available so that anyone who has to cough or sneeze or blow his nose will do so in the way least likely to spread germs.
Not all of them, but one or two in the rooms in which you spend the most time. This is particularly important if you live in a newer home, where fresh circulating air has been the victim of energy efficiency. A bit of fresh air will do wonders for chasing out germs.
The dry air of an overheated home provides the perfect environment for cold viruses to thrive. And when your mucous membranes (nose, mouth, and tonsils) dry out, they can't trap those germs very well. Lowering the temperature and using a room humidifier helps maintain a healthier level of humidity in the winter.
These little tools measure humidity. You want your home to measure around 50 per cent. A consistent measure higher than 60 per cent means mold and mildew may start to set in your walls, fabrics, and kitchen; lower than 40 per cent and the dry air makes you more susceptible to germs.
Why? Because an Austrian study published in 1990 found that volunteers who frequently used a sauna had half the rate of colds during the six-month study period than those who didn't use a sauna at all. It's possible that the hot air you inhale kills cold viruses. Most gyms have saunas these days, so give it a shot.
It sounds nuts, we know. But one study conducted at Harvard Hospital in England found that people who breathed heated air had half the cold symptoms of people who inhaled air at room temperature. Set the dryer on warm, not hot, and hold it at least 18 inches from your face. Breathe in the air through your nose for as long as you can-20 minutes is best.
When 146 volunteers received either one garlic supplement a day or a placebo for 12 weeks between November and February, those taking the garlic were not only less likely to get a cold, but if they did catch one, their symptoms were less intense and they recovered faster.
A study from the University of California-Davis found that people who ate one cup of yogurt-whether live culture or pasteurized-had 25 percent fewer colds than non-yogurt eaters. Start your yogurt eating in the summer to build up your immunity before cold and flu season starts.
Change or wash your hand towels every three or four days during cold and flu season. When you wash them, use hot water in order to kill the germs.

Project Earth is our response to the enormous crisis currently facing our planet. Through chamber music and poetry, we strive to illuminate the impact of human behavior on the environment, addressing issues of climate change, pollution, habitat degradation, and biodiversity loss. Equally important, we give center stage to the immense beauty and wonder found in nature. We recognize the power of our collective imagination and the need to inspire a shared sense of value and responsibility if we are to create meaningful change around these complex issues.
Project Earth is a multi-year endeavour, encompassing three distinct chapters – the Blue, Green, and White Chapters.
The Blue Chapter consists of 3 original works by celebrated Canadian poet, Don McKay (Governor General's Award, Griffin Poetry Prize), and Juno-nominated pianist and composer, Florian Hoefner. "Bird Island Suite," first premiered at Memorial University in St. John's in 2019, calls attention to the remarkable ecosystems found on bird islands, while also exploring critical themes of human-driven habitat change and extinction. "Membership" examines the intricate relationship between living species on the planet. It simultaneously reimagines what our world would look like if humans stepped into true membership with our biosphere rather than serving as an adversary. And the final piece, "Kinds of Blue," is a tribute to the many manifestations of blue found in nature. The poetry is centred around the natural beauty found in Newfoundland and Labrador and takes centre stage, with poet performing alongside the musicians as a fourth chamber player.
After a critically acclaimed run of the project's "Blue Chapter," we will soon be workshopping the second "Green Chapter" of this project, with new commissions by Juno Award-winning musicians Sarah Slean and Andrew Downing and original poetry by Griffin Prize-winning poet, Karen Solie. Slean's collaboration with Solie is a written homage to the incredible life of trees and the Downing/Solie collaboration explores the farming practices and dwindling habitat of unbroken shortgrass prairie (including the stranglehold of multinational corporations on farming).

Project Background
Our planet Earth is at a tipping point. Never before in human history has our global home faced this rate of deterioration and species loss. In 2019, the Intergovernmental Science-Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) reported that 1,000,000 species are now threatened with extinction, many within decades. Greenhouse gas emissions have doubled since 1980, plastic pollution has increased tenfold since 1980, and 300-400 million tons of heavy metals, solvents, toxic sludge, and other wastes are dumped into the world's waters annually. A full 75% of ecosystems on land and 66% of marine ecosystems have been "severely altered" by human behavior. "We are eroding the very foundations of our economies, livelihoods, food security, health and quality of life worldwide" (Sir Robert Watson, IPBES Chair).
Many of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals address the dire situation in which we currently find our planet. Goals 3, 6-7, 9, 11-12, and especially 13-15 all have targets directly related to the protection of our environment. One target for Goal 15 ("Life on Land") is to "take urgent and significant action to reduce the degradation of natural habitats, halt the loss of biodiversity and, by 2020, protect and prevent the extinction of threatened species." But the IPBES report makes it clear that we are not meeting these targets. "Current negative trends in biodiversity and ecosystems will undermine progress towards 80% (35 out of 44) of the assessed targets of the Sustainable Development Goals…" If we fail to meet these targets, Indigenous peoples and those in the poorest communities worldwide will experience the greatest impact.
The problems are complex and the size of the threat we face is not matched by a similarly sized investment in solutions. While people are capable of coming together in great numbers in support of a common cause, the crisis facing our planet has struggled to gain proper attention. The sheer magnitude of the problem and protracted timeline for both threats and solutions make the situation challenging to grasp.
This has been a call to action for us as artists. The role of storytelling and illuminating "place" has never been more important. For people to come on board with the creative solutions necessary to save our planet, we must connect through our imagination, shared emotional experience, and the direct impact of this crisis on the things we cherish. Numbers are not enough. And a complete doomsday picture will not be effective either. Hope is necessary for humans to take action. And there is hope. The IPBES makes it clear that "nature can still be conserved, restored and used sustainably," but a "fundamental, system-wide reorganization across technological, economic and social factors" is necessary, "including paradigms, goals, and values."
The Earth is THE project of our times. With PROJECT EARTH, we strive to inspire the shared values needed for transformational change. Through music and poetry, we are able to zoom in on tangible high-impact stories, while simultaneously illuminating the beauty we are at risk of losing if nothing changes.

Hurt in a Truck Accident in Kingsport?
Let our experienced truck accident attorneys fight
Home Kingsport, TN Truck Accident Lawyer in Kingsport
Kingsport Truck Accident Lawyer
Encountering large commercial trucks is a daily occurrence on Tennessee's highway system. Eighteen-wheelers and other commercial trucks dwarf passenger vehicles and are extremely dangerous — and often deadly — when involved in an accident.
Helping Truck Accident Victims in Kingsport, TN
As with other types of traffic accidents, crashes involving commercial trucks are not random occurrences, but overwhelmingly the result of human error. Under pressure to meet strict deadlines, many truckers drive long hours without enough rest. They may be fatigued, inattentive, or under the influence of drugs. Large trucks are also more susceptible to vehicle-related crash causes, such as defective brakes or tires.
Truck accident law is complex and difficult to navigate because numerous state and federal laws govern the trucking industry. In addition, drivers and companies are represented by big insurance providers and powerful legal teams whose goal is to minimize or deny your claim, even if you were not responsible for the crash.
The Terry Law Firm has been representing victims of truck accidents in Kingsport and East Tennessee for more than 50 years. We know the tactics that trucking companies use to avoid liability. Our dedicated Kingsport truck accident lawyers will guide you through the claims process and fight for the full compensation you deserve. To schedule a free initial consultation, call us at (423) 586-5800 or contact us online.
Why Truck Accident Cases Are More Complicated
Truck accident cases are more complicated than accidents involving two passenger cars. That's why it is important to work with an experienced trucking accident law firm that has a successful track record of handling the unique challenges these cases present.
Increased Damages
The size discrepancy between commercial trucks and passenger vehicles can lead to extremely serious injuries and property damage.
While minor fender-benders between two cars resulting in no injuries and little to no property damage are common, the occupants of a 3,000-pound passenger vehicle rarely walk away unscathed from a collision with a fully loaded semi-truck that weighs 80,000 pounds.
The greater the extent of damages, the more complex the claims process. It's not unusual for truck accident victims to suffer broken bones; head, neck, and back injuries; amputations; and other catastrophic injuries. These injuries may require extensive care and lengthy rehabilitation that add up to hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in medical costs.
If the at-fault party is not willing to offer a full and fair truck accident settlement, this can lead to a protracted legal battle, including the possibility of a trial.
Complexity of Determining Liability
The vast majority of truck accidents involve multiple vehicles. Although human error is the most likely culprit of trucking accidents, even when the truck driver is clearly negligent, there are multiple third parties that can additionally bear responsibility. These include the driver's employer, the truck owner, parts manufacturers, maintenance workers, and drivers of other vehicles.
Each of these parties has their own insurance coverage, which can lead to finger-pointing and buck-passing. Dealing with a single insurance company can be difficult enough. Dealing with multiple insurers that are all attempting to limit their own liability is a much more challenging scenario.
Trucking Regulations
Further complicating truck accidents are state and federal commercial vehicle regulations that establish conduct such as truck load limits, driver safety, and inspections, maintenance, and repairs.
Violations of Tennessee laws or Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations can establish a company's or a driver's liability. Determining whether regulations were violated requires an extensive investigation of the accident. In many cases, qualified trucking accident attorneys are necessary to investigate the crash cause and defend the interests of an injured claimant.
Who Can Be Held Responsible After a Truck Crash in Kingsport, Tennessee?
The multiple parties that potentially bear liability for a trucking accident complicate the claims process. The skilled Kingsport truck accident lawyers at The Terry Law Firm have decades of experience successfully handling these complex claims. We know what to look for during an investigation and how to determine fault for a crash.
Depending on the circumstances, it may be possible to seek compensation from one or more of the following parties:
Truck driver: The driver of the truck in a collision is the most likely culprit. According to a major federal study of truck accidents, 55 percent of all crashes studied were the fault of truck drivers. The major critical crash reasons assigned to truckers were prescription and over-the-counter drug use, traveling too fast for conditions, unfamiliarity with the roadway, and fatigue.
Trucking company: Trucking companies have a legal responsibility to ensure that their drivers and vehicles are safe. Failure to do so can expose them to liability, but they have ways of shielding themselves. For example, truck companies might destroy or conceal log books and other records.
Cargo company: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) study on truck accident causation identified pre-crash cargo shift as the factor with the highest relative crash risk. Truck drivers and truck companies rarely are responsible for loading cargo. This task usually falls to a cargo or freight loading company. If cargo was not loaded securely and it shifts, causing an accident, the party that loaded it may be held responsible.
Manufacturer or maintenance company: The FMCSA's truck crash causation study found that about 1 in 10 truck accidents is caused by a vehicle issue. Brake and tire problems were attributed to 29 percent and 6 percent of accidents, respectively. These and other issues that contribute to an accident can be the fault of a parts manufacturer or improperly performed maintenance. Fault can also lie with the trucking company for failure to keep the truck in good working order.
Government entity or contractor: Roadway problems contribute to about 20 percent of truck accidents. In particular, interruption of traffic flow is one of the factors most frequently coded as the reason for a truck crash. Large trucks are responsible for around 27 percent of work zone fatal crashes and 8 percent of work zone injury crashes. Pre-crash issues such as inadequate warning signage, failure to comply with work zone safety standards, and problems with traffic control can be blamed on the project's general contractor, or a government agency.
Due to the difficulty of determining liability for a truck crash, you should consider speaking with an experienced Kingsport truck accident lawyer who has successfully handled these types of cases. Request your free consultation now.
Tips for Protecting Your Rights After a Kingsport Truck Crash
In Tennessee, if you were a vehicle owner or driver in a traffic crash involving death or injury, or in which property damage exceeds $1,500, you must report the accident to the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security within 20 days of the crash.
Aside from this accident reporting requirement, there are certain things you should do after a truck accident to protect your rights and increase the chances that you are fairly compensated.
Get immediate medical attention: First responders to the accident scene can help to gauge the seriousness of your injuries. In the event that you suffer severe injuries, you may not have a choice about being taken to the emergency room by ambulance. Don't refuse medical help. And even if you don't think you need immediate care, get to a doctor as soon as possible for evaluation. Some injuries don't show up right away. You'll also want to establish a clear record of your injuries. Delaying treatment has the potential to damage your claim.
Document the accident scene: If you are well enough to walk around and talk to people after the crash, take this opportunity to thoroughly document the accident scene. Obtain contact and insurance information from other parties to the crash. Talk to witnesses and get their contact information. Take pictures or video of your vehicle, the truck, skid marks, signage, traffic signals, and other contextual clues. Most phones have a voice recorder app. Use this to document your initial thoughts, feelings, and observations.
Keep everything: Proving your losses is critical to your compensation claim. Meticulously document all medical care, car repairs, and out-of-pocket expenses such as accident-related travel, rental cars, over-the-counter medication, and co-payments. Store receipts, bills, correspondences, and other evidence in one place. Consider keeping a pain journal of how you feel after an accident. A journal helps to substantiate your pain and suffering damages.
Stay off social media: This cannot be stressed enough. While it may be tempting to share accident pictures and status updates, doing so may ultimately harm your claim. Stay off social media altogether until your case is resolved.
Talk to an experienced truck accident lawyer: The unique aspects of truck accidents make it more likely that you will need attorney representation. You might do everything needed to document your losses, but if you fail to prove liability, your efforts could be in vain. Consider, for example, that obtaining truck records is vital to a successful case, but this can be a difficult process for the inexperienced.
Anatomy of a Truck Accident in Tennessee
Although every truck accident is unique, statistical trends help to understand the common causes and outcomes of crashes between large trucks and passenger vehicles. They can also inform drivers about how to avoid a crash with a truck.
In a typical year, there are approximately 450,000 to 500,000 police-reported crashes nationwide involving large trucks — defined as a vehicle weighing 10,000 pounds or more. These crashes kill around 4,000 to 5,000 people annually and injure an additional 150,000 to 200,000.
Most deaths and injuries in large truck crashes are passenger vehicle occupants in cars or motorcycles. This is because trucks typically weigh 20 to 30 times more than passenger vehicles and are taller with greater ground clearance, resulting in smaller vehicles under-riding trucks in some collisions.
Common causes of truck accidents include braking capability and driver fatigue. Loaded 18-wheelers require 20 to 40 percent greater distance to stop than passenger cars. Braking distance is even greater on wet or slippery roads and in trucks with improperly maintained brakes. The federal government estimates that driver fatigue contributes to 15 percent of fatal and injury-causing large truck crashes each year. Federal regulations allow truckers to drive up to 11 hours in a single shift, but many drivers violate the law and work longer hours.
Serious truck accidents tend to occur in rural areas, on interstate highways, between the hours of 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., and on weekdays.
The majority of truck accidents resulting in bodily injury or property damage occur when a truck collides with another vehicle in transport. About 5 percent of fatal truck crashes and 2 percent of non-fatal truck crashes involve a rollover.
Tennessee sees, on average, 100 to 150 fatalities in large truck crashes each year. Most of these are multi-vehicle crashes. Hamblen, Greene, Hawkins, Sevier, Cocke, Jefferson, Washington, and Hancock counties each have anywhere from 5 to 155 truck crashes annually. Of these, Jefferson and Washington counties see the most truck accidents, with roughly 100 to 150 per year.
Tennessee authorities issue approximately 35,000 commercial vehicle citations each year. Citations are issued for violations that include speeding, moving violations, overloaded or overweight cargo, log book violations, driving under the influence (DUI), and reckless driving. These and other violations are often associated with truck crashes.

Majority of College Students Afraid to Disagree with Professors
Dr. Susan Berry
A majority of U.S. college students report often feeling "intimidated" to disagree with professors who express their own personal political or social beliefs while teaching classes.
A national online survey of 800 full-time undergraduates in both public and private schools found 53 percent of participants said they often "felt intimidated" to openly share ideas, opinions, or beliefs that were different from those expressed by professors in class.
A majority of students – 54 percent – also said they often felt intimidated to express their views with peers who disagreed with them, while 44 percent said they did not feel intimidated.
Additionally, 52 percent of respondents said their professors "often" used class teaching time to express their own political and social views that are not related to course subject matter, while 47 percent said this did not occur often.
McLaughlin & Associates conducted the survey – on behalf of Yale University's William F. Buckley, Jr. Program – between October 8 and 18. James Freeman – a director of the program – presented a preview of the survey's results at the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
"American academicians unfortunately appear to be just as political and overbearing as one would expect," Freeman wrote. "This column isn't old enough to remember when university faculty were thought to be conscientious adults in loco parentis. But perhaps the actual parents who write checks can someday find some way to encourage more responsible behavior."
The WSJ assistant editor lamented what he calls a lack of a "healthy intellectual atmosphere" at schools where students should be able to hear and express differing views without fear.
He found it further disappointing that 59 percent of the survey's participants agreed with the statement, "My college or university should forbid people from speaking on campus who have a history of engaging in hate speech."
Freeman noted that while 60 percent of the students did not agree that "physical violence can be justified" to silence a person from expressing views defined as "hate speech," the fact that a full one-third of college students could endorse violence in response to speech they deem "offensive" is still discouraging and a "threat to free expression on American campuses."
More uplifting, however, he said, is the outcome that 79 percent of survey respondents said the First Amendment is "an important amendment that still needs to be followed and respected." Only 17 percent of students said the First Amendment is "outdated" and "should be changed."
"The free exchange of ideas is in danger on American campuses," Freeman observed. "And given the unprofessional behavior of American faculty suggested by this survey, education reformers should perhaps focus on encouraging free-speech advocates within the student body while adopting a campus slogan from an earlier era: Don't trust anyone over 30."

The term 'scaling' is increasingly popular in international development efforts, as it has the connotation of providing a real solution for large numbers of people. However, the popularity of the term is not necessarily matched with a sufficient degree of conceptual clarity, depth of approaches and underpinning of success claims. Good literature and papers on scaling are scarce.
This publication, Explorations 04, seeks to unpack the concept of scaling and create conceptual clarity by presenting an overview of the terms, frameworks, and models used in relation to scaling. In doing so, we hope to contribute to the understanding of the specific role of PPPs in scaling and to support practitioners in getting to grips with different scaling approaches.
Based on a literature study and interviews with case owners and thought leaders, this publication collects various concepts, frameworks, models, and approaches and presents an overview and synthesis of these. While the cases studied are from the water and agriculture sectors, the concepts and approaches are of wider relevance.

In short, the show spends about half or 75% following the writer from his point of view, and then the rest is from the cat's point of view. While during the writers point of view the cat is a normal cat. Like it doesn't talk. However, during the cat's point of view you can hear the cat's thoughts and see flashbacks from the cat. In fact, the one thing I'm wondering is if this based on real life due to the writer thing. The overall story seems to be how a cat changes an introvert to be a better person, and the person changes the cat to have a better personality. There honestly isn't much bad I can say about this show. I think the only thing that really bugs me is the main person (the writer) his parents die and it doesn't change him. In fact, the very first part shows the writer is attending his parent's funeral (they died in some bus accident, so it was unexpected). He meets the cat while visiting the grave. But beyond that there is nothing. Like unless if he hated both his parent to start with or it was expected. Then there would be a good mourning period with the average person. Like think about it. How would it effect you if both your parents who lived with you died in some accident? (there is only 1 real ep they tackle this in a singleaafternoon. But as anyone knows, it isn't a quick thing to get over) Like they shouldn't of added the parents dying. It didn't really add anything, and it opened up more questions than not. There is plenty of ways of having the 2 meet up that doesn't make the viewer ask why he isn't effected by his parent's death. Anyways, if you don't like slice of life adult shows. Then you won't like this.

At first glance, this anime and the title may not look like much, but it's surprisingly good. It's sweet, cute, charming, funny, and a simple slice of life drama but there's hidden layers and cleverness too. You might almost think that's what pets might be thinking when they do what they do. It might not be such a far fetched way of thinking. If nothing else, it can be said, pets have a positive effect on life. There are moments, when Haru looks like she's causing trouble or being a nuisance, but she has her reasons which are curiously logical and understanding in a cat perspective. The funniest running gag is how Haru keeps thinking he isn't eating well and thinks it's a good idea to share. I was skeptical too at first, but it's a oddly captivating tale and hard to stop watching once you start. Give this oddly titled charmer a try and you will be rewarded. Between the sharp witty writing; realistic situations and events; and the effects on each other the cat and main character have, the story is easy to connect with.
apoc9 Apr 16, 2019
This series was the surprise of the season. Even if I'm not particularly fond of animals I like cute cats. I have no doubt anyone, who likes cute animals is going to enjoy this story. It overflows with heart-warming cute and funny moments. One big thumb up for that. Each episode is told from a perspective of the main protagonist and then from the perspective of the cat and other animals. Usually an unexpected and funny perspective. The story is a small, but significant journey for the main protagonist. Subaru Mikazuki, the main protagonist, is socially awkward introvert. He spent most of his life reading books and pursuing dream of becoming a novelist himself. He lived with his parents until they tragically died in a traffic accident, then he withdrawn from the society even more. He dedicated himself to his work, writing mystery novels, completely. The only people that associate with him in the beginning are his manager and his childhood friend - both guys. On a side note for this reason I dreaded it's going to be one of those fujoshi things. Luckily this is not the case. Back to the story settings. One day visiting his parents' grave, he picks up a stray cat allured by the food offering. This new roommate sets him on the path, which helps him to come to terms with death of his parents. It also brings him one step out of his hermit-like lifestyle. I say, this part was done really well. I like the series didn't overdo it, because at the end Subaru's character growth is not done in overblown manner. He meets new people, possibly a love interest, but the show doesn't go there. It's only hinted at . The show is slice-of-life, but the cute cat with funny viewpoint of the events elevates usual dullness of slice-of-life series. I like the cat is more like a bridge towards other people, rather than a replacement. However it's just not the cat. Subaru has his embarrassing moments, but even if he sometimes fails, he does overcome some of his social anxieties. As far as animation and music goes it's ok. I don't care about opening and ending. Overall it's an enjoyable anime to watch at least once. Recommended for females and anyone, who likes cute animals, introverts and simple story focusing on relationships.

Have encountered a strange issue with 2 PC's. Both have identical installs and only run 1 application.
After an idle period, the NIC disconnects and requires a disable/enable to re-establish comms. The on-board network port remains active and functional. Issue is with the secondary card.
Are there any power management or card specific settings to stop this from happening?
I have had a scrounge around the settings and cannot see anything that would be stopping the card, initially thought it was power management.
Have you checked the Power Management tab on the Properties of the device in Device Manager? There may be something there.
^ What he said but a bit more info.
Also look for 'reduce link speed' in the network cards power management & turn that off.
You may even have to upgrade the drivers to disable that.
Just incase this lurks someone else, there was a PCI power management setting in the BIOS that was causing issue coupled with the power management in Windows.

The Canadian drone academy was hired by Havergal School in Toronto, Ontario to come to give a half day experience with drones to 24 girls. This first time experience allows students to get a general overview of how drones work and the history of drones and where the industry and technology is headed. We then give each student a hands of experience with the drones by letting them pilot one of our little tiny 25 gram drones. The students had a great first time experience and had fun doing it while learning about drones and STEM. We believe this is a winning combination and every student gave us positive feedback and the headmaster has invited us back to do more experiential learning days like so and are even interested in creating their own drone club!
They're at it again! A day after The Priory School's science week, where the Canadian Drone Academy taught grades 5 and 6 the basics of Drone flight.The Priory school invited us again to their first ever Maker's Faire. Similar to science week, the Canadian Drone Academy alongside other key guests were invited to host table booths showcasing their particular STEM specialities. The students weren't the only ones thrilled to participate! Priory staff, parents and guests were eager to play with drones! Students of all ages under our wing learned drone safety and Canadian flight regulations. Once ready, students picked up micro-drone remotes and FPV goggles. Students were excited to stay afloat and perform flight maneuvers, ultimately hoping to challenge the deathly hoola hoop obstacle course in the gymnasium. "It was great to see the look on all the kids faces," says Nick Iversen, Canadian Drone Academy founder, "it's always a pleasure to work with the Priory School." The event aimed to introduce technology to the everyday curriculum, and most importantly teaching students that they too can be makers n' movers in whatever they choose to do.
Interested in having the Canadian Drone Academy at your school or event? Learn how!
Canadian Drone Academy was invited to the annual Priory school fundraiser "FORE" kids at the Metropolitan golf course in Montreal on may 18th 2017.

You Don't Have To Know How To Parallel Park In Maryland To Pass Driving Test: Here's Why
Menchie Mendoza, Tech Times 21 May 2015, 08:05 am
The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) announced that they no longer consider parallel parking as an integral part of a driving test in order for applicants to have their driver's license approved. This also means that people from Maryland are no longer required to prove that they can parallel park in order to pass the test.
If this is the case, Maryland would be the latest state to join a number of other states which have also opted out parallel parking on their drivers' tests.
While the reasons vary, there are at least two of them which had been particularly pointed out. First of all, parallel parking, statistically speaking, is one of the safest categories of driving maneuvers. Second, most states have a higher number of their citizens living in suburban and rural areas compared to those who dwell in cities.
Officials at the Maryland MVA also explained that they are excluding the parallel parking portion from the test after they have noticed that in reality, they have been testing drivers numerous times for the same skill.
"In our constant reassessment of the test that we offer, we looked at our driver's skills tests and it was determined that some of the other maneuvers that are performed during the test actually test for the same skills that we're looking for the driver to possess that we would have tested for during the parallel parking," said Buel Young, spokesman for the Maryland MVA.
Safety, according to driving instructors, is really not a big issue with parallel parking. What they are more concerned about is teaching new drivers on executing difficult maneuvers such as making U-turns and entering on short highway ramps.
According to a study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in February on driver-related critical reasons for crash, 845,000 of these crashes out of the total 2,046,000 were attributed to recognition error while 684,000 had been attributed to decision error. Only 210,000 cases were due to performance error. These statistics therefore suggest that it is more important for driving instructors to prioritize driver decision-making skills in their instruction instead of using up a lot of time to explain the ins and outs of parallel parking.
"We have a lot of parents who want us to make sure we spend a lot of time on parallel parking and make it a focus of a large portion of behind-the-wheel training," said David Resnick, treasurer for the Maryland Professional Driver Education Association. "Our response is, nobody dies [while] parallel parking. We want to work on entering and exiting expressways and focus on more dangerous maneuvers."

The coastal village of Gordon's Bay is poised to become the new hotspot for local and international tourists alike. Situated on the slopes of the Hottentots Holland Mountains with perfect views over False Bay, it is centrally located as the ideal base for exploring the best of the Cape.
A 57 kilometer drive will get you to the centre of Cape Town or heading in the other direction, Gordon's Bay is at the start of the magnificent Clarence Drive, one of the most scenic coastal routes in the world with plenty of viewing points and seaside villages to explore along the way.
A 30 kilometer drive inland takes you into the very heart of the Winelands and the historic town of Stellenbosch.
Dubbed Gorgeous Bay by the travel industry, there is plenty to do in the village itself.
The Blue Flag Bikini Beach is tucked in the corner of the bay and is a great family friendly beach.
TIP: Parts of the shallows are full of rocks and pebbles so bring water shoes, flip flops or old takkies for wading out into the ocean.
About 650 meters of sandy beach offers swimming, rock pools to explore, a pier and even a spot where you can wade out to a little island. Further around the bay is another 500 meters of sandy coves sheltered by old Milkwood trees making a perfect picnic area or camping spot for a full day at the beach.
Parts of the beach are full of small stones while other sections have lovely white sand.
Shady milkwood trees and a fantastic beach, does it get any better that this.
A short strip of shops and restaurants in front of Bikini Beach and the parking area offer The Bikini Beach Bookshop, The Smoke Shop for those dedicated to vaping, Coffee on the Go, an ice cream shop, an old school beachside shop aptly named Aladdin's Cave, a few restaurants and a retro phone box that is now a kissing booth.
The two harbours are both worth a visit, the one on the Cape Town side has a marina, good fishing spots, a restaurant and a fishing tackle shop.
Can you see the GB on the mountain above the houses?
This luxury self-catering villa on the slopes of the mountain is one and a half kilometers from the beach. The master bedroom and bathroom take up the whole of the top floor and a large deck offers wonderful views of the bay and the mountains.
The main area has a spacious lounge, two double bedrooms, a bathroom, an elegant dining area and a fully equipped open plan kitchen. A large verandah opens from the lounge and is the ideal area for that first cup of coffee. The lower level has a garage for 2 cars with access up to the lounge, and on the other side of the main entrance there is a self-contained suite with a double bed, small kitchen area and separate bathroom. Aurora Views can comfortably accommodate 8 adults.
The back area has a small sheltered garden suitable for making a braai and a low fence is the only barrier between the house and the indigenous shrubs and fynbos of the mountain. You could not get any closer to nature if you tried.
Just ten kilometers from Gordons Bay is Waterkloof Restaurant, awarded the coveted title of Best Restaurant in South Africa by Eat Out Guide in 2018. Chef Gregory Czarnecki performs from the open plan kitchen where he creates classical cuisine with a modern French twist.
In Somerset West, 15 kilometers from Gordons Bay, master chef George Jardine, has opened his seventh restaurant aptly named Seven situated at Shop Seven at the Avenue Centre in Somerset West.
95 at Morgenster is Giorgio Nava's new world class restaurant and is just fifteen kilometers from Gordon's Bay.
A trip up the Sir Lowry's Pass road into the mountains leads to Idiom where the Bottega family have brought Italian style to South Africa. This estate is worthy of a whole day out to experience the views, the architecture, the restaurants and the wines. But wait, there's more. A wine inspired perfume, Idiom Parfum du Vin is a seductive fragrance created by Tammy Frazer and Silvana Bottega, presented in hand-blown glass bottles by a renowned South Africa glassblower, David Reade. Another unexpected delight on this estate are the luxury leather products, sustainably sourced and beautifully made.
Waterkloof Wine Estate where a minimalist approach and a philosophy of producing wine as naturally as possible results in spectacular organic wines. Wine tasting is offered daily from 10am to 5pm and cellar tours are available by appointment.
Vergelegen. Ancient Camphor trees welcome you to this estate that boasts a history going back 300 years and a library housing books from the 1700's. The tasting room overlooks the aromatic herb garden and lavender labyrinth, while the food offerings range from picnics, bistro or fine dining. Cellar tours, walking trails, and a rose garden are the perfect place to walk off the exquisite cuisine and lovely wines.
Lourensford is an historic estate with an ultra-modern cellar. The Restaurant is open every day and serves breakfast, lunch and a variety of baked goods. The Lourensford Market is a popular event every Sunday and alternate Fridays.
Chill out at Aurora View after a long day exploring.
There are so many courses easily accessed from Gordon's Bay and we've cherry picked a few for you.
Just down the road is Strand GC, a Par 72 parklands course. This friendly open course will test your skills in the afternoon winds.
Somerset West GC is aPar 72 course and was recently redesigned by the legendary Peter Malkovich. The Parklands style of some of the course is beautiful, and the links feel to the back nine provides variety to the game.

Help close the door on fraud. Open the door to customers.
Offer a secure, frictionless customer experience across your mobile channels.
Mobile devices are transforming how consumers engage with businesses. Yet, in terms of driving measurable revenue and profitability for businesses, there remains plenty of room to grow.
Here's the rub. Consumers need to feel secure about their mobile transactions, and they want those transactions to be easy, fast and seamless, similar to the "one-click" pace of social media. However, when you increase security protocols, it also increases customer friction by requiring additional questions and data fields that must be completed by the customer, on a small mobile screen. This frustrates many consumers, causing them to abandon the transaction. So, if security is good but friction is bad, how can businesses resolve the conflict and start driving increased revenue through mobile channels?
Equifax is a company that is leading the way with solutions that help businesses fuel secure, frictionless transactions by verifying the identities of consumers and their devices in real time, and with customer consent, automatically pre-filling many data fields with information from Equifax data sources. Transaction security can soar, while required customer data input shrinks from potentially multiple screens of data to just a few fields.
Instead of managing fraud mitigation and marketing operations separately, you can combine them with cutting-edge technology to offer a better, integrated customer experience that helps drive higher transaction completion rates and improved profitability across a mix of mobile channels.
