Google is the most popular search engine in the world with over 60% of searches occurring on the web.While that is not a bad thing, there are some other companies that do better.Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Bing are among the top free search engine providers on the net.The chart below lists the top 20 free search providers in terms of number of visits.Google is by far the most used free search pro...
Google search engine search engine is no longer limited to the U.S., according to a report from Canadian news site, Car and Driver.
This is thanks to the advent of the Google Car app.
The app allows users to quickly search for vehicles, which is a great idea, but there’s a problem.
While the apps are compatible with the Android Auto platform, they only allow users to search for cars in specific cities, including Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Calgary.
While it’s easy to find the exact location of a car in the app, the lack of geographic coverage is not what worries many users.
“Google car search has not been as widely adopted in Canada as it should have been,” said Matt Gershenfeld, a Car and Drive member.
Gershenfeld said Google should have put more geographic options on its apps, like one for the Canadian province of Ontario.
“The fact that it’s not available in Canada should be a wake-up call for Google, that this is a problem,” he said.
He also pointed out that Google’s auto app has been criticized for allowing Google Maps to work with the app.
“You can’t really compare Google Maps with Google Car, because the Google Maps app is so much better, but you can compare it with Google’s own car navigation app,” Gershend said.
The report also mentioned that Google is working on a search engine that can handle both car and business searches.
The search engine, which could eventually replace the current Google app, is currently slated to launch this fall.
However, Google is still working on the app’s future, and said it is in the early stages of development.
In the meantime, the Canadian auto industry is hopeful that Google will finally address the lack on geographic coverage.
“I think Google is making progress in Canada, and it’s an exciting time for the auto industry,” said Dave McNeill, president of the Canadian Automobile Association.
“I think the Google search app is a fantastic addition to the Canadian automotive market, and we hope to see it become a major driver for new car owners.”

Lisboa em destaque no "The Guardian"
"When asked to think of the world's great shopping cities, few people would automatically suggest Lisbon. London, New York, Paris, yes. Marrakech even. But Lisbon?"
"I had already been told that I would love A Vida Portuguesa (Rua Anchieta 11, avidaportuguesa.com). Its walls are lined with soaps, oils, toothpastes, petroleum jelly in retro boxes and store cupboard staples such as Zelly's flour. Run by Portuguese journalist Catarina Portas, this shop is lovely. I walked out with armfuls of Zelly products, as well as a sardine grill for the barbecue, a stunning, iridescent ceramic sardine, tins of sardines, a stove-top toast maker, bright orange and red melamine plates and piles of Couto toothpaste and petroleum jelly in bright orange and black boxes."

Did you know there are 50 covered bridges in Oregon? Most of them can be found around the Willamette Valley and the coast. This past fall Oz and I decided that we would make it our goal to visit all 50 covered bridges. The idea started one day while I was still in real estate and we had a visitor from the Albany Visitors Center. He had lots of great handouts of things to do and see in Albany and the Willamette Valley. Among his handouts was a map and list of the covered bridges of Oregon.
So far it has been a great bonding experience for us and Charlotte. We listen to good music in the car, tell silly stories and take time to enjoy our wonderful state. Its also been great for an inexpensive date ideas. (just gas money, some lunch and maybe a hot chocolate for the road). Its a great activity for both the sunny and rainy days. I kind of prefer going on rainy days since most of the time we are driving. We’ve also included a lot of hiking and side activities in our touring that has been half the fun of the whole experience.
#1 Irish Bend
We started out our tour in our own backyard so to speak. There is a covered bridge on the OSU campus right along the bike path and the Llama herds.
We took some great family photos in October when the leaves were turning orange and red. It made for a really great back drop.
I spotted these great mushrooms along a path while we were walking. They were so amazing!
Just outside of Alsea was the Hayden covered bridge. This one we visited in November as part of my “birthday” date.
Just behind the Hayden bridge was a Christmas tree farm and an old barn. Oz found this old, weathered chair in the middle of an over grown grassy patch in front of the barn.
The Harris covered bridge is just outside Kings Valley. There was a cute little winery just in front of the bridge that I would love to check out when the weather gets warmer.
#4 Fisher School
For Charlotte’s birthday in February we took a trip to the coast and visited 3 covered bridges along the way.
The Fisher School covered bridge was a little ways off the beaten path. It is also known as the Five Rivers Bridge because it was built where 5 small rivers come together.
Happy 2nd Birdthday Charlotte!
On our way to the second bridge as part of Charlotte’s birthday tour we saw a couple of free roaming cows on the road. Right after this we also spotted about 6 elk in a field near the car.
#5 North Fork Yachats
The back roads lead us to the 2nd bridge we saw on Charlotte’s birthday. The North Fork Yachats bridge is located close to the coast and Cape Perpetua view-point.
After the North Fork Yachats bridge we kept heading to the coast. The GPS lead us on the back roads mostly only used by the Forestry Dept. The roads were muddy and unpaved, we were all glad we made it to the other side without getting stuck. This is at the top of the mountains just before reaching the coast. It was a very foggy day.
Along the coast we stopped and did some hiking around the tide pools near Yachats.
Charlotte lead the way down to the Spouting Horn along the ocean front.
After Cape Perpetua we headed to Newport, ate lunch and played on the beach. Then when it was time to head home we stopped at the Chitwood covered bridge along Hwy 20. It was nice to be back on a major road and not have to worry about getting stuck in the mud.
On a lovely day in spring we headed up to Mount Angel area for a birthday party. On our way there we took a detour in Stayton to visit the Stayton-Jordan covered bridge.
It is located in a cute little park with lots of walking/biking paths. If we had more time it would have been a great spot to have a picnic.
#8 Gallon House
From Stayton we drove through Silverton and drove through the Gallon House covered bridge. We were running late to the birthday party so we didn’t stay very long at this one.
Well, that’s it for now. 8 down, 42 more to go. Next I think we will check out the ones located in Linn County. Since it is close to home they will be easy to see multiple in one trip. I think I will also try to add fun activities to each stop like having a picnic, going fishing, playing a game of cards, to make each stop even more memorable. If you have any ideas for this please let me know!
If you would like to know more about the covered bridges in Oregon there is a great website by the Covered Bridge Society of Oregon. http://www.covered-bridges.org/ I will be adding on the this list as we visit more bridges. Stay tuned!

I remember I use to roam around with my area boys eating everything that came our way when I was younger. We use to eat frogs, crickets, snakes (python) and other small animals. We mostly got the chance to engage in this ecstatic hobby on weekends when we had to wash our cloths at the dam. But it’s been years since I visited one of the sweet spots of those days in Bimbilla.
A few days ago I had the chance to take a tour around the area upon my return from Tamale. A friend told me something I could not believe. The spot we use to visit so much is now a trench dug by nature. Others joined in the discussion describing what had happen to that area in the span of two years. I just had to go take a look for myself. I was dumbfounded. An area that had one of the best landscapes in Bimbilla has been affected by one of the most terrible erosion I have ever seen.
“Is the district assembly aware of this?” I asked while still in a state of disbelieve. I was told the MCE visited sometime ago. There is no gutter constructed in the area. And the slope of the area makes it a sweet target for erosion during the rainy seasons.
This is a suburb of Bimbilla known as Alurani basically for the green nature of the area. It is an area with so many trees and a lovely landscape. But if nothing is done about this situation in few rainy seasons the entire area may have to relocate. The erosion is growing close to the houses and the residents are worried about what may become of their homes. A lot of farms have been eaten away already.
We met one victim whose house has bee affected. And this is what he had to say; When we came here 5 years ago the land was flat like a football field, this was a very nice place and nobody thought in a few years we would lose our house and land. Three years ago we saw that there was small gutter formed by the running rain water. We did what we could do to prevent it from getting wider. But our effort was simply not enough. We reported to the assembly but nothing was done. If there was a gutter constructed I dont think this would have happened.
But I was still in a state of complete disbelieve. I know what erosion can do from my SHS science lessons but I had not seen anything like this before. And the worry in the faces of the local people who were taking me around the place was just unbearable.
As we moved along the developing trench we came across the boreholes that the community often depended on for water and the trench had destroyed all but one of the boreholes. The women have to carry the water down through the trench to get the other side. It was just so scary to me.
You can take a view of how the place looks like with this short video I put together.
I have tried to give you and experience of how the place looks but upon all the pictures, it is not representative enough. If you are in Bimbilla township you can go down and see for yourself. It is a worrisome sight.
I wish to use this platform to call on the assembly and any organisation that can help in anyway to save this community and its plantation from the powerful effects of this erosion. It is bad enough but if nothing is done many families in the community will be displaced.
The people have cried out for long with no help forth coming and the third rainy season is fast approaching. If you also know any organisation who can help please contact me through my contact form or just live chat me.
You can also help this community by sharing this to your platforms. One share may save a community. Thank you.

The many uses and benefits of clays have been recognised and exploited for millennia in many cultures around the world. As well as being commonly used in construction and pottery production, they are also widely used utilized in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, engineering and healthcare applications. Montmorillonite is a clay whose properties render it suitable for multiple applications including as an active ingredient in pharmaceuticals, an ingredient in skin care products, and as a material for water treatment by adsorbing toxic heavy metals and unwanted anions.
In our work published in Nature Scientific Reports, our research group explored a new source of montmorillonite in the Koh-e-Suleiman mountain range located in South Punjab, Pakistan. A purification protocol was needed to remove any undesirable substances from the clay such as lead, arsenic and crystalline silica, which could impede industrial potential and have adverse health effects. The area of South Punjab has a large dependence on agriculture and relatively low levels of industrialisation and consequently currently faces higher levels of poverty and unemployment compared with the rest of the province. An abundant supply of this largely untouched raw clay could help with economic conditions in the region so, in addition to physicochemical characterisation, this study investigated the practicality and economic feasibility of its extraction and purification for large-scale industrial applications by comparing the properties of the small-scale extracted clay to the large-scale extracted clay, and by conducting a techno-economic analysis.
(a) Geological map of Pakistan and (b) site for raw clay sample collection.
The amount of montmorillonite present in the raw clay was ranged from 22 - 25%. This was somewhat lower than reports for other clay sources, thus the extraction and purification needed to be effective and efficient. Optimisation of grinding processes resulted in yields of >90% montmorillonite from raw samples. None of the characteristic attributes of the clays (elemental analysis, montmorillonite content and yield, particle size, nitrogen adsorption parameters and zeta potential charging) were significantly affected by the change in scale of the extraction and purification processes (from 5 g to 750 g) and were considered appropriate for pharmaceutical, biomedical, healthcare and environmental applications. Furthermore, techno-economic analysis revealed the economic benefits of extracting the clay on a large-scale with a cost of 0.01 £/g and 1.9 PKR/g compared with 0.23 £/g and 44.7 PKR/g at small-scale.
Overall, this work successfully identified and extracted montmorillonite from a new source located in the Koh-e-Suleiman mountain range of Pakistan and presents an optimised extraction and purification protocol. We anticipate that the findings in this study will improve the economic condition of the region by providing employment opportunities to locals and a valuable resource for exportation.

While the town of Mersing is not particularly rich in attractions, most people come here because it is the natural springboard for trips to the offshore islands such as Pulau Tioman (which belongs to Pahang), Pulau Aur, Pulau Seribuat, Pulau Pemanggil, Pulau Dayang, Pulau Besar, and Pulau Sibu, to name some.
If you do not wish to leave the mainland, you can also enjoy a lovely beach at Pantai Penyabong, which is in Endau, north of Mersing. If you are the quintessential city folk, this is a good place for you to view kampung houses, villages and traditional fishing boats.
To appreciate natural beauty of a different type, you can visit the pristine forests of Endau-Rompin National Park and Gunung Arong Recreational Forest, both within easy reach from Mersing.
History of MersingThe town of Mersing was originally known as Rantau Panjang. Its history goes back to the 16th century. Following the fall of the Malacca Sultanate to the Portuguese in 1511, Malay noblemen led by the Datuk Bendahara (a title equivalent to present-day prime minister) were retreating from the advancing Portuguese forces. They arrived at a river in northern Johor. Stopping to rest, the Datuk Bendahara quenched his thirst on the clear river water, which he pronounced to be "Segar Amat!" meaning "exceedingly fresh". The words "segar amat" became corrupted to "Mersing", and it was the name given to the river.
Until the end of the 19th century, Mersing was one of the four sub-districts, or mukim, under Muar District, along with the sub-districts of Parit Jawa, Chohong and Lenga. Mersing District was formed in 1933 following a major realignment of district boundaries by the state government of Johor, which split the four Johor districts of Muar, Batu Pahat, Johor Bahru and Sedili into eight districts namely Muar, Batu Pahat, Johor Bahru, Pontian, Kota Tinggi, Mersing and Mersing. Another realignment in 2008 created Ledang and Kulaijaya districts.
Getting thereIf you are coming from Johor Bahru or Singapore, use Route 3 to Mersing, passing through Kota Tinggi. If you're from the northern and central part of the west coast, such as Kuala Lumpur, then exit the North South Expressway at the Air Hitam Interchange (Exit 244), then take Route 50 east all the way to Mersing. If you're heading south from Kelantan, Terengganu or Pahang, then take Route 3 and simply head south.

I am late on my Saturday post because of all of the fun I had yesterday. My husband and I took the top off the jeep and we went driving. We took a trip up to Athens with a couple of friends and visited a nursery. Thyme After Thyme was a great place tucked away in a small southern town right outside the University of Georgia. We picked up a few things but the place was great. If you have a second jump over to their site and enjoy the natural beauty. We spent out day just driving around and enjoying nature. He got a little sunburned but we had a blast.


The future 24/7 location of Foundation -
where the adventure begins in search of the most incredible destinations…the lives of people.
From the very beginning, Foundation has existed to create a you belong here movement where people are the destination and Jesus is in the lead– the key part here is how can people be the destination, yet we purchase a building? Foundation began by dropping a pin on a map at the courthouse in Historic Downtown Newnan and drawing a five mile radius - there are 59,125 residents within that five mile radius, 64-73% of which are disconnected from faith. For the last 4 years we have rented space in the heart of that five mile radius - while renting gives us access it falls short of ownership, commitment and permanence. The strategic nature of this particular building allows us to have a permanent stake in the ground at the heart of that 5 mile radius - this building will not become our destination but our basecamp. It's the place where the adventure begins, but make no mistake the adventure will remain outside of those walls... because people will always be our destination.
The 30 Greenville St Property will benefit the city of Newnan because it will be constructed in such a way that makes it available. A piece of property that is only used for a few hours on a Sunday morning and some office space during the week is not something that benefits the community. However, when you give the community access to utilize the space to meet their needs, the benefit becomes obvious. Be it a place for public schools to hold award ceremonies, principals to conduct staff off site events and trainings, community members to hold not for profit community wellness programs, honestly the list is endless and only has a limit based upon what the ever changing needs are for our community. The DNA of Foundation is to live open handed, this permanent structure will simply fall in line with the existing mission and vision of Foundation.
Financial responsibility is an enormous priority for the leadership of Foundation. Each year our budget strategy is not to plan for growth but to be prepared for the opposite. Our budget for each coming year is based upon 90% of the previous years offering. This approach ensures that if we were to lose a significant portion of our income we would still be able to do ministry. That being said we have grown EVERY SINGLE YEAR of our existence as a church, including 2020, where we saw 12% growth, even in the midst of a pandemic. This has allowed us the margin to say yes to a few unexpected expenses as well as save money for the moment an opportunity such as this presented itself. Because of this responsibility, the ability to purchase the building is well within reach. The total monthly mortgage for basecamp will exceed our current cost for renting office space and the school on Sunday mornings; however, we are confident about the increase for two reasons:
In summary, we are in a great position to purchase the property.
When we dropped that pin on the map 4 years ago at the courthouse in Historic Downtown Newnan we never imagined we would have a 24/7 space in the very center of that 5 mile radius. Realestate is incredibly hard to come by in and around the square, especially at the size we would need. Yet one of the good things to come from the pandemic is the availability of a large space in that very location. But honestly, location only matters because of relationships.
Basecamp will sit just down the street from Ruth Hill Elementary School - a place we have poured thousands of hours of service and care into, the place that gave Foundation the opportunity to become the single largest provider of mentors for at risk students in Coweta County, a place that recognizes belief is the most important milestone.
Basecamp will be just two blocks away from one of our favorite community partners: Bridging the Gap. When it comes to serving the food insecure in our community no one does it better. We are all in when it comes to our partnership to serve those in need in Coweta County. At the end of the day we believe the church should eliminate burdens from people's lives not add to them and our partnership with Bridging the Gap is all about turning that belief into reality.
Basecamp will be on the same street as the Mad Mexican. Just one of the many locally owned businesses that we partner with to make the downtown area a thriving community. We believe in shopping and eating local, especially when those business owners desire to partner together to make our community Newnan Strong.
Basecamp will sit just up the road from Newnan High School - another public school that we have invested heavily in. Be it mentoring, coaching, fundraisers, the No Hate Newnan Campaign, feeding teachers, helping with graduation, honors night, move the chains on Friday nights, concession stands, half time shows and or any other opportunity give to us we want to always say yes, always be available to serve, always be close enough to be there in just a few minutes when there is a problem we can help solve.
Basecamp will sit at the very heart of the City of Newnan, a city we are deeply passionate about. Our partnership with Mainstreet Newnan and the Downtown Council has increased EVERY SINGLE YEAR: parades, taste of Newnan, fundraisers, advocacy, Santa on the Square, Santa in the Park, the munchkin masquerade, alleyway remodels, movies in the park, Pumpkins in the Park, and the list could go on and on. We are all in with the City of Newnan to bring value to those who call the city of homes their home.
Bottom line, over the last four years Jesus has led the church into relationships with each organization listed above, but more importantly with people that make those organizations what they are. We like to say people are our destination….Basecamp gives us a starting point in the midst of many incredible destinations.
While the ability to afford the purchase of Basecamp is well within reach, the cost to turn a bank into a functional gathering space for adults and children would take it a bit farther than what would be responsible. This is why we are raising funds to facilitate the renovation and build out of Basecamp. This will take all of us, each contributing in a way that will inconvenience ourselves for the good of our community and the people that have yet to give their lives to Jesus.
We closed on May 14, 2021.
Yes, with the current monthly offering each month, we take in enough to cover the monthly cost without requiring an increase in giving. However, we can’t say the same for the remodel cost - it is this cost we will raise so that we can pay cash for the buildout.
Absolutely, not! That is a line in the sand we have drawn and will not cross - we had to be able to have a viable path forward without compromising who we are and what is most important to us. Our community outreach will continue to grow each and every year.
Because it’s a remodel, a conservative estimate is about a 6 month remodel following closing.
We are currently having asbestos removed.
The auditorium will hold 475. So with 2 gatherings, there is plenty of room to grow!
Yes, there is asbestos in the building on both floors. All of the asbestos on the first floor will be completely removed by a professional. The remaining asbestos on the 2nd floor will be undisturbed.
Almost all of it – once the asbestos is removed we will be able to demo everything except a specific portion of the vault which will require a professional.
Yes, the restrooms will be brought up to current code exceeding the number of fixtures required for occupancy.
Foundation has served in the heart of Downtown for the past 4 years (1 pre-launch/ 3 post launch). Our office is currently only 2 blocks away from Basecamp, and the Newnan High School and Ruth Hill are just down the street. While we have never been right next door, we have always been in the Downtown community.
Anytime you put down the roots of ownership, you are tied even tighter to the community. However, at the end of the day, a building will not make us better at serving; Jesus will.
Christian Financial Resources will be providing the financing for Bascamp.
There are 216 parking spaces available within the same distance as those available at the highschool. We know we will need about 140 for a normal Sunday gathering. A detailed parking map as well as a parking team will be in place when it is time to open for gatherings.
There are parking options that will require you to cross the street. However, there are also options that will not require a street crossing.

Life after viaducts in Vancouver? Can we imagine a new, more sustainable future for the area? Thanks for good start… @geoffmeggs: Check out my video update on city review, community support http://t.co/lbDp8re


The United Arab Emirates businesswoman Hassa Jamal Al-Ghurair, daughter of Jamal Majid Al-Ghurair, founder and CEO of Al-Khaleej Sugar, the largest sugar factory in the world, which is located in Dubai, is studying the construction of a factory to produce sugar beet in the vicinity of the city of Merida. For this reason, ARRAM Consultores have been commissioned with the administrative processing to obtain the appropriate permissions, beginning with the integrated environmental authorisation application published in the Official Journal of Extremadura (DOE).
Al-Khaleej Sugar is the largest sugar manufacturer in the world, which is located in Dubai and each year produces more than 1.5 million tonnes of sugar. Al Khaleej Sugar wants to expand its business in Europe and is looking at two countries where to install itself. One of them is Spain; the other, United Kingdom. The Spanish option is favoured because the area where it would be located is the Expacio Merida industrial development park, adjacent to the A-66 and about five kilometres from the capital of Extremadura. A strategic location.

The GPS system is something that everybody sees whilst out and about. It sees use in cars and also on iPhones, as they seem to be the widespread method of choice for those who need to know where to go.But even though the map and compass have taken a backseat, do they still have a place in modern society in the face of the GPS navigation system?
Personalisation and Portability
The screen of a GPS has developed from a few simple lines that show the user where they are, to screens will full colour, and an outline of all of the obstacles and obstructions in the surrounding area. Personalisation is now a major part of the GPS, as with all this information it’s now possible to plan routes and mark destinations down, or where the user has already been. There are even free sites where people are able to download specific routes for cycling, as is shown on this site with hundreds of UK cycle routes.
Portability has taken away the main advantage of the map and compass method of finding the way home. GPS navigation systems can now be used anywhere, and as long as it can find a satellite to connect to, then it’s impossible to ever get lost. They are easy to carry as many can just fit into a large pocket, or within a hidden backpack compartment.
It’s not all good, though, as GPS navigation has arguably penetrated too far into society. Everybody knows somebody who is constantly carrying a GPS, or who has their eyes glued to the screen in their car. That’s a symbol that society is almost totally reliant on the GPS to find its way around. And that’s dangerous because if a position is ever reached where it can’t find a satellite or it breaks, then that’s going to cause serious problems. People are forgetting how to use maps, and the greatest of conveniences could actually end up turning into society’s downfall.
It is arguable that a GPS can be a distraction for drivers, and therefore has safety implications. If a driver is intent on following the screen to see where he is meant to be going, he can lose concentration on where he actually is, and forget to observe the general principles of staying alert when behind a wheel.
A lot of people will swear unyielding loyalty to one of these things, but what most people don’t know about is the margin of error. Total accuracy has not yet been obtained and, in fact, if the navigation system is marking a location then it could actually be up to 10m away from where it truly is. It might not seem like much at all. However, if it needs to have pinpoint accuracy then the GPs owner could find themselves running around aimlessly trying to find their destination.
It’s true that GPS brings a great many benefits to society as a whole. It just needs to be remembered that they aren’t infallible.

Why is Geography important? - Our Curriculum Intent
Geography education enables children to gain knowledge of their world, exposing them to places, people and situations they otherwise might not experience. In developing an awareness of the wider world, a zest for living, a curiosity and an enthusiasm to explore, understand and investigate further is stimulated. By experiencing a variety of other cultures, children develop an understanding of similarities and a respect and tolerance for differences in how people live and think. An appreciation of diversity facilitates positive relationships and collaboration. Learning Geography enables children to understand how people and places have been changed by evolving situations. This provides a mechanism for ‘walking in another’s shoes’ and opportunities for ‘what if?’ questions, reflection and developing self-awareness. Learning Geography enables children to consider their place in the world, to establish the extent of their responsibilities towards important issues and to assess the impact of their everyday actions. Through the study of local issues and fieldwork, they understand their power as decision-makers and how these decisions can be influenced. Apart from subject knowledge, learning Geography utilises and develops skills, for example, map reading, critical thinking and questioning, which can be called upon throughout their life.
At Paddocks we aim to inspire pupils to become global citizens by exploring their own place in the world, their values and their responsibilities to other people, to the environment and to the sustainability of the planet. We help develop children's curiosity in both their immediate surroundings and in places and environments in the wider world. by instilling an interest and desire to investigate a variety of both human and physical characteristics through meaningful research and careful questioning. We provide children with many opportunities to use a range of geographical skills to help them understand, present, analyse and communicate and to put these skills into practice both inside and outside the classroom through local fieldwork and trips.
What does Geography look like at Paddocks? - Our Curriculum Implementation
We use Kapow to support our teaching of Geography. Throughout their time at Paddocks Primary, children learn a variety of geographical skills to deepen their understanding of their own environment. To begin with, children in EYFS use their area and the school grounds to observe, explore and investigate their immediate environment. These vital skills are then built upon and enhanced by comparing and explaining their own experiences. As children progress through the school, they are able to use their understanding to investigate the wider world as they take part in exploration of our local area. Our pupils gain an awareness of our responsibilities with regards to looking after and maintaining our environment. Alongside their learning, children develop the subject -specific vocabulary relating to the human and physical aspects of geography. They are also able to use a variety of maps and plans to aid their understanding. Through the subject the children gain a valuable insight into the lives and environments of others living in different countries and continents.
What do the children say? - Our Curriculum Impact
'I like learning about where I live and other countries in the world.'
'I didn't know that there are lots of different countries in Africa, but I do now!'
'The maps are so big, we had great fun trying to find different places using grid references.'


An Ecovillage is...
An ecovillage is: “a [small] urban or rural community whose members try to provide a high quality lifestyle without taking more from the Earth than they give back. Ecovillages [strive] to integrate a supportive social environment with a low-impact way of life.” (www.gaia.org/about/whatisev.asp)
Individual, Community, Environment
documents nine Swedish ecovillages where residents express a profound satisfaction with their community and its accomplishments without losing sight of the challenges these communities must strive to overcome. It shares the residents’ thoughts on the successes and failures of their community. Examples of design, planning, and social issues help illustrate how the ecovillage model can be applied to a range of new and existing communities.

The Ifite road which many Nigerian students ply to Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka turns floody whenever rain falls. This particular road falls within the purview of Anambra state government housing the University. That road has been dilapidated and filled with potholes. Anytime rain falls, the burden to pass through that road is tremendous. The bus drivers not willing to ‘swim’ through the flood will intentionally stop their buses and bid the students to walk through the flood to their respective destination. The state government is called upon to hasten whatever measures it must have adopted to solve this perennial issue.


We love Berkeley because it boasts some of the best in the Bay — best food, best people, best cannabis, and best hikes!
Whether you are looking for an alternative activity in your workout routine or a fun weekend outing, a Berkeley hike is guaranteed to leave you satisfied (though we are a little biased).
In anticipation of the warm spring weather, we paired some of our favorite views with some of our favorite strains. As always, consume responsibly in the comfort of your home. Don’t drive while impaired and don’t smoke in public (while only a $75 fine in California, it’s still illegal).
Now lace up those sneakers, it’s time to sweat!

“Every week my son and I travel this route where we can see the most beautiful views from above. It is a must-see for travelers to this area. On a clear day it is the Bay Area at it’s finest.” – Deborah on TripAdvisor
Grizzly Peak is a local favorite situated in the Berkeley Hills. Escape the city noise and catch a beautiful view of Oakland, Berkeley, and San Francisco all from one peaceful, easily accessible location. You can drive to the Peak, or hike the 2.6 mile Grizzly Peak Trail.
We recommend pairing this view with a classic BPG Pre-Roll. The enticing flavor of Tahoe OG or the alluring effects of Luma Cookies will complement the warm colors of the dusk sky quite perfectly. You’ll definitely want to grab a couple, as you’re sure to encounter other cannabis lovers and may want to make some new friends!

“One of the best hikes in the hills. Fantastic views, quiet and high enough to feel like you did an awesome feat. Two pretty steep inclines with the last one feeling like you’re walking straight into the sky. Worth it. Do it. Because you’re stronger than you think you are.” – Linda on Yelp
Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve is nestled in the Berkeley and Oakland hills behind the historic Claremont Hotel. Short, sweet, and challenging, the 1.3 mile Stonewall-Panoramic Trail delivers both views and exercise.
The higher you go, the more the view of the bay opens up dramatically – on a clear day you can see San Francisco and several Bay Area bridges, including the Golden Gate. For this hike, bring your furry friend, your sunscreen, and water; the park is dog-friendly and you’ll soak up lots of rays on a sunny day.
Select Oil‘s Laughing Buddha cartridge, an earthy cross of Thai and Jamaican strains, will give you the sweet and spicy push you need to reach the peak. Pair it with the convenient and discreet delivery system of a vape pen and your active adventure will surely be enhanced.
Berkeley Fire Trails
“The best part of the hike is about a mile past the big hill. There is a bench made out of an old tree where the view overlooks San Francisco, Richmond, Emeryville, and a very distant Palo Alto. In the summer there are lots of wild raspberries, every once in a while you’ll even see wild turkeys and deer!” – Dave on Yelp
The Berkeley Fire Trails Loop is a 5.9 mile, moderately trafficked combination of Panoramic Hill, Chaparral Peak, and Strawberry Canyon trails that is considered difficult for its 1230 feet elevation gain. The first mile is the toughest, so power through it and you’ll be rewarded!
A favorite weekend hike among locals with amazing views of San Francisco, Oakland and the Bay, seen from eucalyptus, pine and oak forests. Escape the thick fog down near the Bay and enjoy beautiful wildflowers during the spring and summer.
This one starts out tough as you climb to the top, but is much easier on the drift downwards. If you eat a couple 2:1 CBD Dark Chocolate Minis from Venice Cookie Companybefore your hike, you’ll be floating peacefully by the end — filled with satisfaction from conquering the course and a cerebral serenity from the low-dose, CBD:THC-balanced edibles. Plus, cannabis can help you recover from a workout faster, so your muscles will thank you!
Dorothy Stegmann Trail
“A delightful mix of paved trails, rolling grassy hills, and spectacular views, this park makes a wonderful venue for a romantic sunset stroll or a kite flying excursion.” – Stephen on Yelp
Built on the site of a former landfill, César E. Chávez Park offers a wide range of recreational opportunities in a marina setting with spectacular views of the three bay bridges, Alcatraz, and Angel Island. The 1.25 mile trail around the park’s perimeter is fully wheelchair accessible, and its easy nature makes it a great choice for beginners.
Bring your friends, your dog, your lunch, and your kite! Don’t forget a windbreaker — it can get really chilly. After your breezy stroll, enjoy spectacular views from the picnic area, let your pet enjoy the off-leash park, take a peek at the wildlife sanctuary, or fly a kite in these perfect conditions.
For this Berkeley bay view, we recommend a Berkeley-born brand, Atlas Edibles.

“Urban Green Space as a foundation for Cognitive, Psychological, Behavioral, and Physical Health”
By :Sarah Quirk
Urban green space, defined as gardens, parks, and recreational areas, has been made a focus of city planners, leadership, and sustainability professionals. Traditionally, the value of green space, and the argument for its urban installation, has been rooted in its benefit for stormwater remediation and retention, air quality, and the urban heat island effect. A growing body of science, however, is showing how regular interaction with the natural environment is connected to many other components of public health. Studies have shown that childhood development, mental health, and crime rates are all Public Health factors impacted by the presence of extensive green space, and that those with lowest socioeconomic standing are often impacted the most. As cities are encouraged to develop resiliency and adaptation efforts for climate change, we can expect to see green space creation a more common occurrence. In development of resilience climate action plans, community green space should be required in all neighborhoods, because it promotes the psychological, cognitive, physical, and behavioral health of the community.
Psychological health relates to an individual’s view of oneself and others, maintenance of relationships, and ability to show resiliency to stress and pain. In this research paper, it’s most represented by mental health, and related disorders. A study in the Netherlands has shown a negative correlation between clusters of disease prevalence in cities and neighborhoods, and existing green space6. It was identified that the largest impact of green space within one 1 kilometer of a home was on the mental health of low-income children. Anxiety disorder and Depression showed the strongest relationship between reported prevalence in a population, and relative distance to green space, which led researchers to believe that there is a correlation between an individual’s likelihood of exhibiting mental illness, and their domestic exposure to the natural environment.6
Another study, conducted in New Zealand, showed similar results. Using GIS technology to quantify greenspace, and anxiety and mood disorder treatment counts within small areas of the city of Auckland, a relationship between the two was shown. Less distance from useable green space (parks, fields, and public gardens) and the home, and a greater proportion of total green space in the area, was associated with less anxiety and mood disorder treatment, standardized across several age groups 4 . (See Table 1 in the Figures and Graphics Section for correlation data.) Simply, the more green space, and the closer it was to residents, the less likely they were to experience these mental illnesses.
There are several theories for why and how psychological health is impacted by exposure to the natural environment. One theory states that green space offers a place for increased social interaction amongst residents and citizens,8 whether by recreation, socializing and connecting, aesthetic enjoyment, or physical exercise. Many of these elements can impact psychological health- in most cases, in a positive way. More related to general well-being and health, it is also noted that mental illnesses can be the antecedent to other physical illnesses and chronic conditions.4 For this reason, psychological health ought to be prioritized from a Public Health standpoint, to increase intervention opportunities from other unhealthy drains on a community from occurring. These studies show that increased green space availability may be an effective intervention tactic.
The physical health, that of the human body and parts within in, of a community is also positively impacted by more ubiquitous green space, and not for the reasons commonly thought. A common philosophy in urban studies (of deviance and poverty) is referred to as the “Broken Window Theory,” used when discussing systems of habit and culture within urban environments. This theory relates to the perceived value of specific areas, and how that value impacts the behaviors of those within it. Often, more dilapidated and broken-down neighborhoods, with observable damage to structures and infrastructure, are more likely to be further degraded. Researchers hypothesize that this occurs because criminals feel bolstered by environments lacking rules or order; that others are less likely to step in and protect areas they have no ownership over, and their destructive acts won’t receive consequences.1
A study spanning almost ten years (1999-2008) in Philadelphia monitored the continuous greening of vacant lots in the city. The data showed that greening areas had led to a drop in crime, specifically gun-related, in the immediate vicinity.1 Here we see how green infrastructure and lands can impact the safety of citizens in urban environments, and the safety of the city as a whole. In and around newly-greened lots, gun assaults and vandalism decreased over the decade, which researchers attribute to the increase in perceived quality, and assumption that tending to, and supervision of, the green space was occurring. They also note that vacant lots were commonly used by criminals to anonymously dispose of guns and other weapons, and by greening them, this option was no longer preferable.1
Air pollution is a well-known safety hazard to the health of urban residents. In one study, the impact of green environments at home and school was measured in primary-school students in Spain.2 Negatively correlated to presence of natural environments, specifically trees, was the amount of air pollution students were exposed to. A measurement of over 2,500 students indicated that those exposed to more air pollution (specifically in the forms of elemental carbon and nitrogen dioxide) showed a lower level of memory growth, and attentiveness, throughout a 12-month period than their counterparts.2 (See Figure 1 below.)
Another benefit to the expansion of green space in cities is the habitat creation for local, seasonal, and ubiquitous wildlife species. Specifically, natural landscapes are refuge for more microbial diversity, including microorganisms which are critical to our human health. Microbiologists and biological scientists have written and studied the health impacts of exposure to micro and macro organisms in nature, and the specific advantage it offers children through immunoregulation development.7 A study also suggests that children in Westernized populations have less exposure to these organisms, which can build up and work with, our human immune systems. The long-term impact of this deprivation takes the form of chronic conditions, childhood brain development, cardiac deficiency, psychiatric problems, and premature deaths.7 Children, and people of all age, have a lot to benefit from more exposure to nature and ecosystems, through stronger resiliency to disease and other conditions.
Most risks discussed in this paper are related to their average impact on a community of people. However, it must be highlighted and emphasized that, in almost all cases, the percentage of studied populations with the lowest income are often who suffer most acutely, and most often, from their environment. One study focused on these health inequalities, finding that residents living in the greenest areas had the lowest difference between health inequality and income deprivation- simply, areas promoting green space were most effective in impacting “socioeconomic health inequalities” 3 (see Figures 2 and 3 below.)
Green space and exposure to nature has the power to positively influence our well-being, through our behavioral health, which is described as the “connection between our behaviors and the health and well-being of the body, mind, and spirit.” 9 In almost all studies, behavioral health was analyzed by the presence or lack of stress in the daily lives of residents.
Researchers suspect that green spaces can be areas of recuperation and relaxation from taxing activities, allowing the body’s levels of cortisol in the blood to lower.1 Cortisol is the hormone released by the endocrine system into the body when threats are perceived by the brain. It’s historically been beneficial and necessary when the body enters “fight or flight” mode- by suppressing the digestive system, increasing blood sugar and the brain’s use of glucose, and increasing blood pressure, among many other things. However, when the body is in a constant or semi-constant state of stress, referred to as chronic stress, continuous release of cortisol in the body can alter many systems of the body, and compromise the immune system. Chronic stress, along with other chronic disorders, can jeopardize long-term health and susceptibility to further disease.
In Philadelphia, greening of abandoned lots led residents to report significantly less stress, paired with an increase in exercise within newly renovated neighborhoods.1 A study in Scotland measured salivary cortisol levels in deprived urban neighborhoods, with the goal of determining average stress levels per distance to green space. Their findings highlight that those living in areas with more useable green space typically experience less stress, and the opposite for those living without. By measuring circadian cortisol levels, researchers were able accurately predict cortisol levels and cycles in residents, based on their gender and location in the neighborhood. Interestingly, women experience more perceived stress than men, even when their accessibility to green space was equal 5 (See Tables 2 and 3 below.)
Most importantly, this study identified that women with little access to green space, in low-economic standing, were most likely to manifest Hypocortisolemia, or low levels of cortisol throughout the day, which is usually an indicator for chronic stress.5 For this reason, it’s logical to conclude that poor women have the most to gain from increased green space in their neighborhoods.
The role accessible natural environments has on the development of children has been the subject of an increasing amount of research, related to fields like neurology, biological and cultural development, public health, education, and urban ecology. Much of the health status of adolescents and adults can be traced back to environmental stressors in an individual’s childhood. We know that factors like lead exposure, food insecurity, and hunger can affect behavioral disorders and cognitive abilities of low-income children. However, one study in Barcelona, Spain looked particularly at the impact “greenness” on a child’s environment can make a difference in their cognitive development.2
Cognitive health is described as conscious mental activities, such as learning, thinking, remembering, and understanding. The study in Barcelona utilized NDVI, a normalized difference vegetation index, to measure primary-school students’ exposure to green space- by combining areas near their homes, on their commutes to school, and at/in their schools. This index number was then compared to the measure of students’ tested progress in working memory, superior working memory, and inattentiveness. These abilities were chosen because they are constantly growing during preadolescence.2 The study demonstrated data that showed enhanced progress in memory and superior memory development, as well as a reduction in inattentiveness, over a 12-month period.2
Conclusively, we can project that regular interaction with the natural environment is an essential factor in the development of preadolescent cognitive abilities. Children and senior citizens are among the most vulnerable subpopulation groups, and the presented data identifies the importance of nature in childhood development, leading me to believe that green space may be one of the most effective practices in impacting overall public health.
Public Health is a division of medicine and public service that we usually associate with preventive care. This care takes the form of immunizations, sanitation, education, and regulations. But what if exposure to nature was considered preventative care? Women, men, and children all benefit by exposure to more green space and nature in their neighborhoods and commutes. Whether it be by decrease in chronic stress and other mental conditions, inattentiveness in students, or socioeconomic health inequalities, society and a city’s public health as a whole, benefits as well. Like most sustainable solutions, the installation of green space in cities provides an answer that addresses root causes of many public health obstacles. The city and greater governmental bodies have everything to gain from these projects- in funds that are now used to address curtailing poverty, educational support, health care costs, greater public safety enforcement, vandalism and property value, and gender empowerment.
It should be clarified that green space is not the ultimate solution to major issues facing public urban health, education, and poverty as an institution. However, it is a factor that offers significant systematic benefits to people and the planet.

XTerra iron creek, spearfish, sd- august 17, 20132013 XTERRA Iron Creek
I was lucky enough to experience this feeling on two separate occasions this past Saturday and Sunday.
For the past two years now I have always wanted to visit the Black Hills in South Dakota and compete at the XTERRA Iron Creek event. Since I missed out on XTERRA Canada I had to go down or in this case way up in the mountains. While the Hills kept me excited during the entire trip getting there is another matter. We have driven so many miles already with Anna already in 2013 that even this shorter 5 hour trip felt like misery. Once there though I finally felt "home". Back in July I trained in Hungary and biked a lot in the mountains but this scenery was by far more beautiful. The race itself takes place in Iron Creek Lake and the area surrounding it. I expected a lone lake wit nothing but trees around it but there was campgrounds everywhere and bungalows. It was really cool to see so many people soaking in the sun on what turned out to be a very hot weekend. Since we didn't leave until Friday mid-morning pre-riding the course took place at a rather late time. It's definitely not ideal to scout the trails just before sunset, a night before your race. I managed to keep my heart down with only a few spikes when I couldn't hold myself back to enjoy gravity on some downhill sections. I would rate the course 6.5 on a 10 scale technicality-wise. It has two sections, one at the beginning about 1.5 miles in and about the same distance to to the finish where more focus is required. The rest of the course is hilly with occasional roots or rocks to dodge. We spent the night at the campground finally relieved from the sweltering heat. However our kind neighbors kept us awake as they didn't have to wake for a multi sport race day. Bundi, our dog, experienced her first night in a tent. She was ridiculously tense and got up for every noise and light coming from outside. Naturally, she barked into the unknown multiple times over the night to make sure we didn't sleep better than she was. In return I took Bundi for a morning run/walk around the run course. Again, not the ideal preparation before a race but no one knew this but my wife. The run course started with a quad-burner 600m climb followed by a downhill and flat section. Around the lake at mile 2 is where you had to be careful the most. The course dropped down below the lake level, below the dam where you had to jump on boulders and rocks the size of a car tire. The two laps on this 4k loop nicely took everything out of the racers that the 1000m lake swim and 20km single track mtb course didn't.
Not knowing who might be there to challenge me I swam fast enough to stay with the lead swimmers. Except one guy, who ended up charging to the lead and eventually exited the water a good 50 second ahead of me. I wasn't too concerned about me leaving the water that far behind. I trusted my strengths and the workouts I have had these past weeks. Exited the water in just over 15 minutes and after a 50 second transition I was already chasing down mr uber swimmer. I didn't need two miles by the time I caught up to him and passed for good. From that on I had no one ahead of me but deers, rabbits and more cows than all other animals together. I recall a good advice from the race director before the swim start to avoid that deep muddy section and try not to go straight through it. What did I do? Exactly that. What did it result in? Not only mud all over my bike but cow turd on my legs as well. It's easy to distinguish it from mud as it's a lot brighter in color and it stinks! I had no problem for the rest of the bike course though. Everything went according to the script I just created. I got through the most technical section of the course by getting off the bike as I rather not take risks when I don't have to. Off the bike I was onto the 8k run course. The first 600m uphill was easier than I expected. I still held myself back for the remainder of the 1st loop. After climbing the hill for the second time I finally opened up my strides and started enjoying the last 3k of the course.
As I said, nothing feel better, than winning and this was my first XTERRA XPS event win that got me closer to another USAT All American title. Awards schwag included a free Rudy Project helmet or sunglass coupon, a one night stay in a hotel in Deadwood, SD, another beer glass and a cool medal. The lower number of participants all sat in a circle and waited through the awards creating a really friendly and rather family-like feel.
XTERRA IRON CREEK RESULTS -though my official gps time is a minute faster than what's posted on onlineraceresults.com. Not sure where did I get another minute to my bike and run times. I know there was something glitch in their system.

Two days off in Salzburg seems to have allowed us to recover from the mysterious fatigue (what can have caused it?) and we can justify our idleness by the fact that it has been raining heavily and there are reports of snow up the mountains. We have both bought another layer of clothing.
I have been mildly disappointed by Salzburg which is a lovely place but maybe loses a little in direct comparison with Dresden, Prague and Čésky Krumlov. It must be nearly time to recalibrate my aesthetic appreciation by returning to Tiverton. Just before Čésky Krumlov we passed through Čésky Budjovice which we had imagined to be a rather dull large industrial town. Maybe it was but we nipped in to the old square and were impressed:
The Czech Republic was the only country that I had never visited before this trip and it often seemed the most “foreign” and unfamiliar not only because we had no idea of the language beyond “dobry den” (good day). We started with the rather scruffy sights and towns of the Northern part by the Elbe.
It was quite a contrast with the tidiness of Germany but as we travelled South it became smarter and presumably more wealthy. Prague is almost like another country again; throughout the city for instance the pavements are topped by an attractive and labour intensive mosaic of black and white stone.
The people we met were pleasant and helpful particularly in the more rural areas. We stayed a night in a Pension in Hluboká nad Vltavou, Restaurant Pension L-club, which was unironically a tribute to the 1970s, the decor was completed by a whirlpool bath and in-room music system with Elvis Presley and compilations of 1970s love songs. It was great though and inexpensive and included a private sauna (very relaxing) which led us to wonder if we could install one at home. Anyone for a sauna? Maybe not.
One day we stopped for a mid morning break at Kostelec nad Vlatavou and were serenaded by brass band practice in the church grounds:
There were consistent minor cultural differences. It took a few days before we realised that there are few clues from the outside as to whether a shop or bar is open. Well we thought it was cultural differences but maybe word of our travels had preceded us and everyone closed the doors and hid.
It was the only country where we have had to get out our passports, not to enter the country or to leave but to register for a hotel or pension room. It is a lengthy bureaucratic process both on paper and online and one which I had forgotten used to be common elsewhere twenty years ago.
Our final Czech korunas were spent in a lovely but empty cafe in Vyšší Brod on coffee and Apfelkuchen (with plums) served by a staggeringly rude and abrupt old man. Then we arrived in Austria and theblue Danube:

腦力不足,思想淺薄的我素來不愛看嚴肅的經典文學,尤其是諾貝爾文學獎的作品,沉鬱,正統,中規中矩,總有無形的框架把人鎮住.我愛現代小說,形式輕盈自在,內涵依然深刻.然而,最近被納博可夫( Vladimir Nabokov)迷住了.
兒子從高雄市圖借回來Nabokov的小說 Laughter in the Dark.文字簡明流暢,我把它列為過年讀物.哪知,從年前讀到元宵才讀完.半本之後情節陡然緊張,變成page turner,剩下三十多頁,熬夜硬撐卻精神不濟讀不完.週日禮拜完回家第一件事就是把小說拚完.
The winding road had taken them to a pine grove where the creaking of the cicadas was like the endless winding-up and whir of some clockwork toy. A stream was running over flat stones which seemed to quiver under the knot of water. They sat down on the dry sweet-smelling turf.
……..the snow glitter Christmas-like under the lamps, the sky was black, and only in the distance, beyond the dark mass of roofs, in the direction of Gedachtniskirche , where the great picture -palaces were, did the blackness melt to a warm brownish blush. All at once he remembered the names of the two ladies on the divan…….
BERLIN-WEST, a morning in May.
………..Sparrows bustling about in the ivy. An electric milk van on fat tires rolling creamily. The sun dazzling in an attic window on the slope of a green-tiled roof. The young fresh air itself was not yet used to the hooting of the distant traffic; it gently took up the sounds and bore them along like something fragile and precious.
An orange-flushed cloud curled in wisps across the pale green sky, above the black mountains; lights glowed in the squatting cafes; the planes trees on the boulevard were already shrouded in darkness.
Once upon a time there lived in Berlin, Germany, a man called Albunis. He was rich, respectable, happy; one day he abandoned his wife for the sake of a youthful mistress; he loved; was not loved; and his life ended in disaster.
This is the whole of the story and we might have left it at that had there not been profit and pleasure in the telling; and although there is plenty of space on a gravestone to contain, bound in moss, the abridged version of a man’s life, detail is always welcome.
