A Little Background
Lying off the northwestern coast of Peninsular Malaysia, the state of the Penang comprises Penang island with an area of 285 sq km and a narrow strip of land approximately 760 sq km on the mainland known as Seberang Perai. Aptly called the Pearl of the Orient, Penang is one of the prime destinations in West Malaysia. State capital Georgetown is a bustling town known for its fascinating collection of fine old buildings. Much of Penang’s charm lies in its fabulous beaches as well as rich cultural potpourri.
1786, Englishman Francis Light landed on the island at what is known as the Esplanade today. He later managed to persuade the Sultan of Kedah to cede the island to the British East India Company. The island was renamed Prince of Wales Island and the major town on the island was name Georgetown after King George III. In 1800, the Sultan of Kedah further ceded a strip of land on the mainland across the channel which Light named Province Wellesley, after the then Governor of India.Penang later became part of the Straits Settlement, along with Malacca and Singapore, and flourished to become a major trading port. It remained under the British colonial rule until 1957 when it became part of the independent Federation of Malaya.
Origin of Penang Cuisine
Penang island is a paradise for food lovers, who come from all over Malaysia and Singapore to sample the island’s unique cuisine. Penang’s cuisine reflects the Chinese, Nyonya, Malay and Indian ethnic mix of Malaysia, but is strongly influenced by the cuisine of Thailand to the north. Penang is especially famous for the “hawker food” sold and eaten by the street, in which noodles and fresh seafood feature strongly.
What to order at Penang?
(Here are some recommendations by seasoned visitors)
“Don’t miss the appetizer at Penang – roti canai: a crispy, thin flatbread you can dip in a hot yellow curry with chicken and potatoes. The curry tastes Thai, and the bread has a South Indian name, but the effect is unique and delightful.”
– Kazutaka Yamamoto (Lawrenceville, GA)
Penang satay being one of the Malaysian classic, is terrific! Five spears of chicken or beef in a mustardy marinade (likely flavored with galangal), lemon grass, with sweet peanut sauce. Also try the Penang popia, a quartet of unfried spring rolls filled with vegetables, and brilliantly painted with stripes of chili paste and sweet-bean paste.
– Ananda Krishna (Athens, GA)
Ayam pandan, a platter of pleasantly fried cubes of chicken meat, each tied with a pandanus leaf.
– Jim Morris (Cummings, GA)
Indian rojak is an exotic serving of vege-salad and slices of fruits in a flavorful spicy brown shrimp paste sauce. Since most Buford Hwy patrons have been eating red-hot Thai salads for several years, I see no reason for the restraint here.
– Bobby Tan (Atlanta, GA)
My favourite were Mango Salad and Golden Fried Eggplant. Both were made with an exciting dark brown sauce full of lemongrass and garlic, a decent dose of pepper and dried shrimp bits.
– Betty Lin (Palatine, IL)
A dish people keep coming back for is the “Sarang Burong ” actually a ring of fried mashed taro root offered with several toppings. The fun of the dish is the taro, a root with a naturally sweet, nutty flavor, and a surprising purple color when cooked.
– Kate Elliot (Decatur, GA)
Try the rendang, a kind of dry curry most typically applied to beef. Long, slow cooking tenderizes the chunks of meat, which absorb all the sauce. The flavor has some beefy sweetness, contrasted with the dry, astringent flavor of ginger. House Jumbo shrimp is based on some of the biggest prawns I’ve ever seen, deep-fried with or without shells per your order. Penang seafood rice noodle is made with fine soft rice vermicelli and bits of squid, shrimp, corn, and bay scallops, topped with a nicely exotic sauce featuring the citronella aroma of lemongrass. –Steve Lin (Decatur, GA)
Our choices on two visits were bowls of warm, sweet soup. Bubur cha cha is a rich and filling coconut soup with cubes of yam and taro; pilut hitam, also very typical of Penang cuisine, looks like black-bean soup, but is actually made from a black-husked sweet rice. Hot dessert soup seems odd for a tropical country like Malaysia, but if you deduct the soupy part, it’s not so different from the hot bread pudding or fried pie they like in the American South.
– Maria Cordell (Sandy Springs, GA)

Chapter Eight –How I Came to Be.
Today, I will be telling you the magnificent tale of how I came to be. My parents, great nobles of Southern Australia, traveled the destructive lands of the country to inhabit our now home land, Western Australia.
This journey took a great deal out of my padres. Mountains, cliffs, abysses, deserts, and numerous amounts of trees were just a few of the many obstacles they had to go through to reach our new home. They began their journey as a herd, but became smaller everyday of their adventure. Their initial amount was 50…then 40…then 25…then ending with 5. The weak were being eliminated first, then the scared, and then the brave; leaving only the truly strongest of will to survive.
My parents were one of the few to survive the 3 year long journey. Upon arrival, my parents were able to inhabit our now home tree, the Tree. It may not have the most original name, but it was good enough for us. Anyway, in this tree my parents were able to start a family, that's where I come in. I was the first koala child, then my brother, and then my little sister. My brother and I still live together today, but my sister, my poor sister, was captured by aliens and shipped off to the near planet of Koalatune. We never saw her again. I miss her sometimes, but life still goes on.
It wasn't until I was the age of 3 where my parents were captured and I had to go save them…And that is where I leave you now, until next time, goodbye.
This is our family portrait before my siblings were born.


Brewery owner Steve Wesley began home-brewing in his Gladstone apartment in 1994 producing mediocre beers for his room mates and friends, the first being a Black Butte Porter clone.
Over the next two decades, Steve worked a full-time engineering job, raised a family, and continued home-brewing as a hobby and continued to fine tune the beers to a more palatable product.
After a lot of hard work, support, and great feed back from local brewers and friends (R.I.P. 4th Street Brewing) his Cocos Nucifera coconut porter took the Gold Medal at the Oregon Home Brew Competition in 2013 and the vision to someday own and operate a licensed brewery seemed a reality.
After numerous vacations to Palm Springs, CA and falling in love with the Googie style, mid-century modern, atomic, "Jetsons" theme of the area - Hop Haus Brewing was founded in June of 2014 in Gresham, Oregon with a vision of bringing the unique desert style to the Portland area along with some great award winning beers.
In March 2017 the quest to start brewing-beautiful-beer became a full-time adventure.


Mineral sands deposits can be mined either wet or dry.
Wet mining involves using a dredge and a floating concentrator. In this method, the floating concentrator moves along behind the dredge in the pond.
In the dry mining method, earthmoving equipment is used to excavate and transport the sand.
Dredging is more dependent on water availability and suitable ground conditions.
Dry mining is the most commonly used method for mineral sands deposits. It can be used with hard ground deposits, discontinuous ore bodies, and deposits with small tonnage and high grades.


January is a month of the year when the job give me a breath and to celebrate my birthday (ok… some weeks later) i decided to visit one of the nation that is in my “I want to travel to…” list.
Porto and Lisbon have much in common but at the same time are very different. Hilly cities, with very attractive and sometimes dramatic riverside quarters with small alleys, and labyrinth-style streets. Portugal’s two main cities both have amazing restaurants, great bars and nightlife (even if Sunday is not the best day to experience the Porto’s night life).
Two cities which gave me great time to spend taking photos: dramatic colors, special architecture and that vibe that gets deeply inside your veins.

North Shore All time classic 80’s Hollywood Surf Movie
To the south end, aka Boat Docks it is a mellow reef break that can have a really fin long left. Careful it’s rocky and you should only surf out there if you can surf safely. Next is San Pedro creek, rocky reef that can create some fun waves. Main beach, aka Taco Bell beach at Linda Mar is a Beach Break. The further north you go the more advanced and secluded the wave gets. The Pump House is in front of the north lot showers and is a good mid level wave. Next break is in front of the Park and Ride at Crespi, good wave with smaller crowds. The far north end has a few reefs and large exposed rocks, advanced only. So for your best best, stay between San Pedro creek and Taco Bell. It’s a mainly sandy bottom, slow, usually mushy wave that often closes out allowing multiple surfers to ride each wave. All these spots can become much nastier at high tides, or they can go flat if the tide is too high.
Wave. Energy in water that breaks in water that is approximately 1.4 times deeper than it is high. Ex. A 2-foot wave will break in about 3 feet of water.
Whitewater. Broken wave, mush, horizontal, better for beginners.
Tides. Changes twice a day, low tide tends to have more mellow mushy waves. High tide tends to have more hollow advanced waves.
Inside. Waves or whitewater close to the shore, where we usually hang out
Outside. Further out, where waves 1st break and beyond
Right. Wave breaking to the right from surfer’s perspective, left from shore. Regular foot surfers (left foot forward) are facing the wave, easiest way to surf.
Left. Wave breaking to left. Goofy foot surfers (right foot forward) are facing wave.
You are better off taking off at a angle for a few reasons: That’s how you properly surf a wave, It’s safer (less pear dives) and extend ride time by going down the line.
Ideally, you want to as close as possible to the shoulder of the wave at all times.
Other good beginner beaches in bay area
Surfers Beach in Half Moon Bay, aka Princton or HMB Jetty. Mellow little wave that is protected from north swells, mellower waves at low tide, hollow and fast at high tide.

TABANAN – Bamboo forest in Sandan, Baturiti, Tabanan, Bali is not widely known. However, the 400 hectares of forest is believed to be a source of blessings and safety for the local redisents. From this forest, the water flowing through their rice fields and keep maintained.
Later, there is a hope that this forest will also develop into an area of natural tourism and education through collaboration with the Bali Gadjah Mada (Kagama) Alumni Family. “We initiated a collaboration with farmer groups to provide assistance,” said the Head of the Regional Office of Kagama, IGN Agung Diatmika on Sunday (20/12/2020).
This event was a part of the 71st Gadjah Mada University anniversary. This event was marked by planting 71 bamboo seedlings from 33 types of bamboo. All the seeds were imported from various regions. Later, all bamboo varieties in Indonesia will try to be planted there and given a special barcode so that it becomes a learning vehicle for students and researchers.
For natural tourism, Kagama can develop tour packages for tracking through the forest and enjoying the natural beauty of the hills. “If there’s a visit from the Kagama family from outside Bali, we will invite them to come here as well as other tourism villages that we guide,” he said.
The Secretary General of PP KAGAMA, Anak Agung Gede Ngurah Ari Dwipayana, emphasized that bamboo preservation is an important thing to fulfill the needs of traditional ceremonies in Bali. Even traditional Balinese building structures cannot be separated from bamboo. “The challenge is how to align economic interests and conservation,” he said.
The history of the Sandan Bamboo Forest was started from 2004. At that time, the Regent of Tabanan, I Nyoman Adi Wiryatama, received directions from the central government to reforest the 400 hectares of land at that location. “The forest was very bare, then there was a reforestation program by the central government. Tt was handed over to the community around this village,” said Adi.
Two years on, unfortunately the program run by the central government has not been supported by local residents. They farmed at will until some began to build small buildings on state-owned land. “Finally, we persuaded the community by being allowed to farm in this forest on the condition that this forest was planted with bamboo,” he explained.
“After the bamboos grow big and many with 12 local varieties, the community cannot farming again and finally leave this place. So, we expel them without violence. This is what made me get Kalpataru from President SBY,” stated the figure who is now ruled as Head of DPRD Bali.
Now, the public awareness of this bamboo forests has increased. There is even a Wana Kerta Lestari farmer group that specializes in maintaining and protecting bamboo forests. “Now the water condition is good, the young people here have started to maintain this forest. In the future we will ask the government and groups like Kagama to continue to help,” he said. (Kanalbali / ACH)

The Tikjuk Project Story
Ron Klein is a U.S. expatriate, semi-retired English professor at a women’s college in Hiroshima. Some years ago during a Himalayas hiking vacation in Sikkim Province India, he met Ms. Chandra Yonzen, who had started St. Xavier’s, a school/orphanage in the town of Yuksom. He decided to give her some money to buy notebooks for the students and stayed in touch. Over the years, Ms. Chandra moved St. Xavier’s to Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim in the eastern part of the province, and then to Tikjuk between Pelling and Geyzing in the western part of province, where the school/orphanage has been for the last six years or so. Dr. Klein in the meantime has taken up the role of fund-raiser for St. Xavier’s not only in Hiroshima but around the world.
Annually, Dr. Klein would make the pilgrimage back to his U.S. home in Philadelphia. On one of these trips a few years ago he stopped in New Orleans to visit his childhood friend Randall Feldman, a member of the Rotary Club of New Orleans. He described to Mr. Feldman his work with St. Xavier’s. Mr. Feldman asked him if had approached Rotary for support. Mr. Klein said no. So, Mr. Feldman took the idea of a St. Xavier’s project to the board of the Rotary Club of New Orleans.
The Board was enthusiastic about doing something with the school and asked Mr. Feldman to look into it. Mr. Feldman spent some time contacting a variety of club and district leaders in the region. Unfortunately, the closest clubs – those in Gangtok and Darjeeling (the tea growing area) – are some five-seven hours away, depending on the state of the roads, which in the mountainous Himalayas, can be quite difficult. Without any club to partner with, the idea of a Rotary Foundation Global Grant was out of the question. These grants of $30,000 or more require a partner club near the site of the project.
In the end, however, the Rotary Club of New Orleans decided to go ahead on its own which would lower the cost of the project and not require a partner Rotary club in India.
St. Xavier’s has about 110 students half of whom are orphans from age three to eight. In talks with Dr. Klein and Ms. Chandra, it was decided that the project that would have the greatest immediate impact would be to bring first Internet service to St. Xavier’s. The school had a couple of obsolete computers that didn’t work very
well and not much else. It was decided to buy four desktop computers for the students, one lap top for the teachers, a projector and a printer, and a variety of support supplies along with Internet connection for three years.
With Dr. Klein’s help on one of his regular trips to India, prices for the types of equipment they needed were found. Mr. Feldman put together a budget. The club board approved the project and committed to an $11,000 budget. Now all they had to do was to get the school the equipment and service. Easier said than done. A member of the Rotary Club of New Orleans, Knud Berthelsen, was tasked with trying to buy the equipment over the internet. That proved impossible. Neither Amazon India nor HP India would accept American credit cards over the web. Mr. Feldman tried obtaining his own Indian credit card but was told that Americans could not get one.
Mr. Feldman was able to connect with Assistant Governor for Rotary District 3240 and member of the Rotary Club of Darjeeling, Diwakar Thapa. He found a computer store in Siliguri, a city some five+ hours away. Dr. Klein on one of his trips to visit St. Xavier’s met up with Ms. Chandra, located the store and were able to begin the purchasing process. But it was not simple.
The idea was that Mr. Feldman would wire money directly to the store in India. But the store staff person, Mr. Negi, told Dr. Klein that his store couldn’t accept a wired payment. Dr. Klein put Mr. Feldman directly in touch with Mr. Negi. Mr. Negi told Mr. Feldman that his store could accept his credit card. The next day, however, he said he couldn’t accept a credit card over the phone. After some discussion, he said wired funds could be sent to the store bank account. However, then, his accountant said Mr. Feldman couldn’t do that either.
Dr. Klein came to the rescue. Although it was not possible to accept Mr. Feldman’s credit card number, Mr. Negi said it was possible to swipe Dr. Klein’s card in person. Dr. Klein, having just used his card, said that this would be acceptable and would get reimbursed by Mr. Feldman. However, Mr. Negi’s machine would not accept Dr. Klein’s card. Dr. Klein was not to be dissuaded so easily. He asked Mr. Negi if there was an ATM nearby. Mr. Negi said there was so, Dr. Klein and Ms. Chandra went off to the ATM and got enough Indian Rupees to purchase the computers. However, the store did not have all of the equipment needed. Mr. Negi said there was another store in the area that had the other equipment.
Dr. Klein and Ms. Chandra went off to the other store. This store said it would accept Dr. Klein’s credit card, and much to everyone’s surprise, it did. They eventually put all the equipment into Ms. Chandra’s car. Dr. Klein left for the rest of his vacation, and Ms. Chandra headed up the mountain back to St. Xavier’s. This was all quite complicated and not all of details and timing may be exactly right, but this is the gist of what happened.
When Mr. Feldman asked Dr. Klein how he would like to be reimbursed for almost $5,000 of purchases, he said to bring the money with him on his scheduled visit to St. Xavier’s and give the entire amount to Ms. Chandra as a donation to the school. It is no wonder that anyone touring the school will see pictures of Dr. Klein hanging on several walls.
St. Xavier’s building is up a relatively steep climb from the road below it. It is a beautiful setting in the Himalayas (pronounced Him-mal-yaz by the locals) in the midst of a relatively poor community. Electricity can be intermittent. Chickens run freely around. However, unlike some other areas of India south of there, no cattle roam the roads.
Three miles from St. Xavier’s village of Tikjuk is the town of Pelling which is a center for tourists and hikers. There are a number of hotels. Mr. Feldman’s hotel had no electricity when he arrived. The hotel itself had no heat, but it did have spiders as large as a hand. Internet service was available in the reception area when the electricity was working.
Mr. Feldman visited St. Xavier’s in May, arriving from New Orleans by taking four airplanes and one helicopter to a helipad at Pelling. It is possible to drive the last leg of the trip, rather than take a helicopter, but the roads are iffy and the trip can take five to seven hours, while the helicopter provided the possibility of adventure. And adventure it was.
The flight going up to Pelling had to turn back shortly after takeoff when a storm front came through the area. Luckily, he was able to get on another flight 90 minutes later. The flight coming back three days later had its own issues. The airport for the return trip was shut down for a few hours due to air force military exercises. Luckily, Mr. Feldman had built in some buffer time on the return helicopter schedule, so was able to make his flight … just.
St. Xavier’s students and staff greeted Mr. Feldman warmly when he arrived. They presented him with the ceremonial shawls called Khadas or Khataks, depending on whether you are speaking Nepali or Tibetan. Ms. Chandra led him into a large classroom where there were seats of honor for him and Ms. Chandra and where they were served traditional Nepali snacks. And then for the next three hours, they were treated by the students and staff dressed in traditional costumes performing a variety of musical presentations of dance, singing, and prayer.
Mr. Feldman spent the next two days visiting at the school and downloading new software onto the computers. One of the former students, now in high school, still lives at St. Xavier’s and is a computer whiz and was able to take charge of much of the computer work.
Mr. Feldman also had to check in with the local authorities. Although he had a passport, visa, and special permit, he still needed go through additional in-person clearances. The area is relatively close to the Chinese (Tibetan) border and security is an issue.
Through this project, the introduction of the Internet to St. Xavier’s will open new worlds of understanding to the children in this isolated area. One example. The students knew Mr. Feldman was from the United States. He asked them if they had heard of New Orleans. No one had. He said, “You know, this is where jazz is from.” They had never heard of jazz. The world now awaits them as they take the first steps down their new electronic doorway.
The project picked up additional support in the New Orleans. The Rotary Club of Metairie Sunrise contributed funds to the project and acted as the recipient for tax deductible contributions. The Interact Clubs of Warren Easton Charter High School and Benjamin Franklin High School also took part. Outside of Rotary, the National Honor Societies of Benjamin Franklin High School and West Jefferson High School also supported the project. And, of course, The Rotary Foundation through a District Grant laid the basis for much of the fund-raising that has followed.
This first phase of this project has raised $9,700 towards its goal of $11,000. Left to fund is the Internet connection for the third year.
Currently the project continues moving forward with planning for Phase II which will enhance the educational function and implement a sustainability plan.
The Educational Enhancement function includes expanding the number of computers from five to 50, so that students from different classes taking part at the same time can simultaneously have access to this resource. In addition, the club seeks to send a “Vocational Training Team” to St. Xavier’s. This team’s purpose spans both parts of Phase II. One part of the training team will work to improve the skill set of the St. Xavier’s faculty on the use of computers in the classroom. The other part of the training team will work with staff on entrepreneurial initiatives that can enhance the income production of the school. Examples include establishing an Internet café and the purchase of commercial washers and dryers to service not only St. Xavier’s but the surrounding tourist hotels, many of which send their laundry out as much as five hours away to get cleaned. The staff is not knowledgeable about start-up entrepreneurial businesses.
It is the intent of the Vocational Training Team to have both Indian and American team members.
Phase III will be concerned with the security and safety of St. Xavier’s.
Phase IV will be involved with improving and increasing current and future building and equipment needs.
As true with many international Rotary projects, the initiative has not only affected the recipient of the funds, but it has opened the eyes of the Rotary Club of New Orleans and its partners to possibilities they never knew existed. Now they have taken that first step. The world awaits them as well.


June 8, 2010
This time, I'm writing about photography, and patience. The old saying that "good things come to those who wait" is certainly true when applied to taking landscape photos late in the day. Look at the sequence of photos below and notice how dramatically the scene changes as the sun gets lower in the sky.
All of the photos here were taken at Donner Lake in East-Central California, just off of I-80. Donner Lake is named for the famously failed Donner Party who spent the winter of 1847 trapped in 24 feet of snow at Donner Pass, freezing, dying, and eating each other to survive.
We were on our way home from California and were spending the night in Truckee, California. After checking into the motel, we toured the Donner Pass State Park, and then went down to the lake (also in the park) to do some hiking around the lake. It was so beautiful and peaceful we decided to just eat dinner there at the picnic tables, then hang around for sunset.
All three photos were taken with a 24mm focal length, which is just on the verge of being an extreme wide angle. The wide field of view combined with a low camera postion helps give the photos a sense of depth, with objects in the foreground, middle ground and background. I also used a 2-stop graduated neutral density filter to keep the sky from getting too bright. It's kind of like wearing sunglasses that are only shaded on the top. If you'd like to learn more, check out my video on graduated ND filters on YouTube.
The first photo in the series (see below) was taken about two hours before sunset. It's not a bad picture, but the sun is still pretty high in the sky, which creates a lot of dark shadows. Personally, I'd consider this a nice snapshot, but not a great landscape photo, and certainly not a fine art photo.
Now look at the second in the series. It was taken about an hour and a half after the one above, but still about 15 minutes till sunset. It's also from a little different location, but that's not the point. The point is that the lower angle of the sun allows the light to skim across the tops of the rocks, which gives more depth and dimension. The light is also becoming softer, so the shadows aren't quite so deep.The lower angle also helps to tame the sun's glare on the water. Lastly, notice how the color of the light has changed, so the entire scene is a little warmer.
The last photo was taken just three minutes later. The sun was just slipping behind the mountains, so the foreground was now falling into the shadow, but the trees and mountains in the distant were still getting some sunlight. The setting sun's light is now quite warm, making the trees appear more gold than green, but the cool color of the shadow keeps the foreground a cool shade of blue. The resulting color contrast between gold and blue creates an additional layer of interest in the photo.
One other item of interest. Notice how the water appears to be much smoother in the last photo. The wind had calmed some, but the biggest change is the shutter speed. As the sun got lower in the sky, there wasn't as much light, so I was able to use a slower shutter speed. The shutter speed for the top photo was 1/45th of a second so the ripples in the water were pretty well frozen in time. The bottom photo had a shutter speed of 1/2 second. The much slower shutter speed allowed the ripples to average out, giving the water a more smooth, silky appearance. Also note that the smoother surface helps accentuate the trees' reflections.


Nkosi’s Haven might not be celebrating its 20th anniversary next year. Should financial assistance and aid not be forthcoming in the next few weeks, Nkosi’s Haven will close its doors by the end of this year.
Even with an estimated 7.2m South Africans – some 18.9 % of the entire population – living with HIV, this country still had a new HIV infection rate of 270 000 people in 2017. These figures supplied by Avert demonstrate that there is still an enormous task ahead to prevent future infections, and to care for those who are infected.
Johannesburg, South Africa, February 7, 2017 – CMC Networks (CMC), Africa’s largest managed connectivity provider, today announced that The Carlyle Group (NASDAQ: CG), a Global Alternative Asset Manager, has acquired a majority shareholding of CMC.

Trussard Property Consultants (Trussard) firmly believe that the property node along the N1 extending from the Buccleuch Interchange to the Samrand off-ramp is fast becoming the most sought after commercial real estate in Gauteng, and possibly in South Africa. Trussard are experiencing a substantial increase in enquiries concerning the availability of vacant land and commercial property developments adjacent to the N1.
This increase in enquiries has translated into Trussard being awarded four property developments in this node spanning a 10-month period. These developments are significant as they include two multi-national companies, a radio station and a relocation of an established company from Bedfordview.
In a major step forward in the search for sustainable renewable energy sources, Design Thinking Solutions (DTS), a South African-based company, has invented technologies that allow for the design and construction of large sea current and wind driven turbines, which when used in combination will provide a large base load and peak power availability.
“The DTS design allows us to manage the load bearing parts effectively,” says Anton Cordier, director for engineering and design at DTS. “This enables us to design and build very large wind turbines that are less complicated to run, and require a smaller capital investment to manufacture.”
“Your brand is a story unfolding across all customer touch points.”

There is a genuine discussion to be had about the lead of outings or comprehensive journeys expressly. We are utilized to depictions of the Caribbean tours as spots of relaxing. Regardless there is a breaking point to the extent of relaxing that you can have on tour. After around fourteen days everything gets incapacitating. One of the manners in which you can switch around your journey is to check out at the fauna and verdure of the area. For instance the turtles in the Islands are a demonstration of the endeavors to keep this a marvelous spot. There are many bird species in Tobago and Trinidad. These are the not entirely obvious subtleties that have an effect on how the excursion is seen. The standard strategies of night amusement disregard to have the secret sauce.
The various bits of the Caribbean
There are such endless difficulties for the travel business. One of them is to keep client interest in the spot. Expecting you were remarkably suspicious basically sweeping, as a rule, gives, you could sum up them as follows: tourist pays various dollars to remain in unprecedented solace and to eat standard suppers. Following fourteen days they get onto a plane back home. In the interim they go out for a dive and watch the nearby individuals advancing forward ahead. Expecting there is cash in the wallet, the tourist goes on a shopping canyon to purchase the things that are regularly found inside their nations of starting. That would be a stunning putting occasion thought down. To add interest to the outings, it is essential to supplement the reproachful of bio collection. Different individuals are at this point spellbound is by eco the travel business. As the carbon impressions trade ascends, there are those individuals who are made arrangements to guarantee that they have their impact in getting the climate.
One of the manners in which they can save the excellent animals and plants in the Caribbean is to suddenly set free them to tourists. The resultant money would then have the choice to be embedded into insurance projects. This is such an ideal strategy that can have a gigantic effect on how these issues are seen. There is in this way a flourishing economy that is ready towards the travel business. With the right outlooks this can go likely as a plan for future activities. The improvement of the Caribbean as a tourist region never stops to puzzle individuals. There are a lot of chances to see the worth in the light and every one of the private da nang tours in coincidental benefits. The thought is to guarantee that individuals in that particular situation are provided the right ability to see the worth in the full blueprints inside the business. There are comparably propensities by which the political will is there to allow guests an uncommon opportunity at the occasion.

The Good Little Company is part of Finnebrogue Artisan, based in County Down, Northern Ireland.
Our farm, Finnebrogue Estate, is nestled amongst the rolling green hills, ancient woodlands, and the banks of the river Quoile in Downpatrick with an expanse of 600 acres of mixed farmland with half given over to the environment.
Nobody is perfect, but we’re doing our best. We know this plant is all we’ve got, so we’re committed to continuously trying to improve it for future generations.
Read more on our recent biodiversity initiatives…
There are fewer than 30 breeding pairs of barn owls estimated to be left in Northern Ireland.
In January 2021, 15 bird boxes were placed around the farm in the hope of attracting breeding barn owls over the winter, and following the use of thermal imaging in April, the estate manager discovered its first pair of breeding barn owls nesting in one of the boxes.
Commenting on the exciting find, Mark Sandford, Finnebrogue Farm Manager said:
“Having only placed nesting boxes up in 2021, it took no time for a barn owl pair to settle. This is testament to our land management, meaning there is ample food resources available for them.
“Barn owl diet consists of mainly wood mice, pygmy shrews and young rats, which in turn are attracted to the Estate’s mature woodland and areas of grass scrubland which regularly throw out grain to encourage a good population of rodents.
“We hope that these barn owls will keep coming back year after year and continue to add vital numbers to our small and vulnerable Northern Irish population.”
Trees are so important for our everyday well-being, they give us oxygen to breathe, store carbon-dioxide, stabilise the soil and give life to the world’s wildlife. Trees also help to reduce the effects of erosion and pollution in our waterways.
That is why since the beginning of The Good Little Company we have planted over 40,000 native trees on our farm and continue to make planting trees a priority for our future.
For the plant and for future generations, we need to save food from the bin by changing the way we buy, store, and use it.
Since 2015, The Good Little Company has been a ‘zero to landfill’ business and all of our waste is recycled, redistributed and sent for anaerobic digestion or recovered for energy.
In 2021, we sent 657 tonnes of process waste to anaerobic digestion – and this generates 800 miles of bio-fuel per week.
Burning fossils fuels is dangerous for our environment, and not a sustainable energy resource. At The Good Little Company, we feel it is our duty to produce and harvest sustainable energy where possible.
Therefore, we purchase 100% green electricity for our sausage factory and generate our own electricity through our 2,700 PV solar panels.
At The Good Little Company we are committed to a greener, more sustainable future for our kids.

In the summer of 2014, the Calgary Regional Partnership embarked on a quest to better understand challenges and opportunities related to the marketing of region internationally. After winning its part of the original RFP, Wolfe & Associates was asked to refine their approach by first tackling a key "health of the region" question, viz. to what extent do the region's municipalities outside of Calgary identify with the CRP itself?
W&A assembled a team of five experienced research associates, including a psychologist, a senior business management consultant, and three social and communication scientists. The aim? To fan out across the region, embed in local cultural, political and community engagement activities to take extensive notes and identify representative spokespeople for in-depth interviews.
The approach was conceived early on as needing to identify and engage with "natural leaders" – local live wires who were driving forces in their communities, regardless of their official roles. Only a couple of natural leaders interviewed were also elected officials. Natural leaders turned out to be soccor moms, volunteers, local professionals, a newspaper publisher, business people, average citizens and former administrators.
A region is a region when it knows it's a region – Study and analysis of extensive interview transcripts, field notes and documentary scans (published histories, local media and websites, etc.) produced important insights around regional identity and led to key recommendations, including . . .

History of Mustang, Oklahoma
All content was created by the Mustang Historical Society
Early History of Mustang
Mustang is much like other small towns in Oklahoma. In fact, it’s a mirror of the state with its strong ethnic base, farm and ranch lands dotting the landscape, boom times and busts dominated by weather, and a struggle to recover in today’s economy. The town passed a milestone in 2001, its Centennial birthdate. We will point out highlights, some more interesting than others but all are important if we are to appreciate what people in this central Oklahoma town did over the first hundred years. While they are prepared through auspices of the Mustang Historical Society, no claim is made to origination. As is said, history is written by the survivors. We appreciate their diligence and effort to be accurate and fair. Readers are welcome to let us know if we get it right or not.
Location: Mustang, in the southeast corner of Canadian County, is about 13 miles west of downtown Oklahoma City. Both towns were established during Oklahoma’s first Land Run, a historic homestead stampede on April 22, 1889. Mustang was officially founded on Nov. 22, 1901.
Prehistory: Oklahoma Archeological Survey identifies about 70 prehistoric sites in Canadian County. No doubt thousands more are detectible but unknown. The Caddoan Wichita lived as sedentary farmers and hunter-gatherers in grass houses along the watercourses. Although they did not live there, the Comanche and Kiowa used the area as
Exploration: In 1803 present-day Oklahoma was included in the Louisiana Purchase. Explorers and traders soon traversed the Mustang area. They included Stephen Long along the Canadian River in 1820; Thomas James on the North Canadian River in 1823; and Josiah Gregg carrying trade goods on the Canadian River to New Mexico in 1839. Several mentioned difficulty crossing central Oklahoma’s Cross Timbers, a formidable jungle barrier.
Trails: In 1865, trader Jesse Chisholm blazed the route which bears his name. It was used by Texas cattle herders from 1867 to 1884. The trail crossed the far northwest corner of present day Mustang.
Settlement: The Oklahoma Land Run of 1889 started Mustang, as it did most of central Oklahoma, almost overnight. On April 22, Mustang Township filled each available tract with 142 claimants. Boomers promoted opening the Unassigned Lands where the Run occurred. Sooners crept in early and illegally, causing many disputes with those who waited for the starting gun. While they represented many ethnic backgrounds, most Mustang area immigrants were from Germany, Poland, and especially Czechoslovakia.
Ethnic base: East-central Europeans dominated early settlement, especially in the southeast portion of the county. Mustang is in the heart of farmland largely populated by migrating Czechs at the century’s turn. However, at least a dozen African American families homesteaded a settlement at what is now Sara Road and SH-152.
Size: Tiny Mustang is 12 miles square. Until recent years and rapid growth, it could not be found on maps. Although sentiment was favorable to make the town footprint bigger, it was surrounded by Oklahoma City.
Important founders: Arriving about 1893, Dr. Jonas B. Spitler was the town’s first doctor. Banker, real estate and railroad developer Charles G. Jones, an ex-mayor of Oklahoma City, filed the township plat in 1901. Farmer Fred Mohr sold Jones a tract to start the business section. Mustang conceived: In 1901 farmer and entrepreneur Fred Mohr sold 60 acres to businessman Charles G. Jones. The land ran north and south along present day Mustang Road and quickly became the Mustang business district. After Jones filed a township plat for Mustang, he spent two years developing a railroad stop and 28 businesses. Mustang was on its way.
Railroad: Starting in 1901, the Oklahoma City and Western Railroad built a line passing through Mustang between Oklahoma City and Chickasha. A depot was erected at Mustang Road with regularly scheduled stops. Ownership changed to the Saint Louis and San Francisco Railroad in 1907. Until 1952, when it ended, the Frisco Railroad ran as many as eight passenger trains and freights through Mustang every day. The rail remains active as a freight line.
Post Office: Mustang derived its name from the post office. Postmistress Annie Maxwell opened doors on Feb. 4, 1895. In turn, the facility most likely took its name from nearby Mustang Creek.
Early business: Charles Jones opened Mustang State Bank on Feb. 1, 1902. His two-story building housed the E.W. Shupe grocery, Rickett and Co. general merchandise, and the Dr. W.S. Nichol office and home. The town Commercial Club got busy. Soon the town sported the Commercial Hotel, J.H. Grigsby’s Lumberyard, other grocery stores, a grain elevator, meat market, livery stable and stockyards
Early settlers: Morgan Road was named for George W. Morgan, an Illinois pioneer who staked 160 acres in the Run of ’89. The site of present day Wal-Mart at Sara Road and SH-150 was settled by Czech natives Matthew and Theresa Smrcka. Homesteader Thomas Addington was a delegate to the Republican Territorial Convention in 1900, later served as a county commissioner, and ran and lost a close race for the Territorial Legislature. Karl Hermann, born in Prussia, bought a farm on today’s north end of Wild Horse Park and in 1909 raised the largest barn in Oklahoma. For his family Scotsman James Grant built a one-room rock house where his wife, Margaret Grant, once was summoned to deliver a baby for fugitive’s wife south of the Canadian River. Arkansan Granville Rector, a former Arkansas county judge, senator and state representative, opened a grocery store in 1910, bought a farm on Mustang Road, and became a Canadian County Commissioner in 1914.
Agriculture: At various times early day Mustang was called “A Garden of Eden” and “Down in Egypt.” The weekly Oklahoma Farmer called it one of the most prosperous regions in Oklahoma. People grew wheat, oats, corn, peaches, sweet potatoes, cantaloupes, apples, pears, grapes, blackberries, cherries and plums. Watermelons were shipped by the trainload. The Farmer’s editor bragged in 1904 that Mustang peaches were selling for $3 each in Liverpool, England.
Education: Mustang established its schools in July 1902. Miss Etta Fisher was the first teacher. The salaried position payed her $40 per month. In her first year she taught 45 students. Two years later a ninth grade was added with courses in Latin, algebra, geography, English and classical literature.
Churches: Westminster Presbyterian Church of Pleasant Hill was Mustang’s first church. It shared its building with the Methodist Episcopal Church until Methodists erected their own building in 1903.
Sports: Baseball was the first established sport in Mustang. Just a year after Mustang’s founding, baseball players and fans were agitating for a town team. Soon on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, games were played against teams from Wheatland to Union City and Yukon. Small communities and large families formed teams.
Early day social life: After the town founding, the Commercial Club, farm groups, churches, schools and residents entertained themselves with picnics, socials, fishing parties and dances. B.J. Shewey organized the first concert band, which gave free community performances.
Devastating Fire: With little beyond water buckets and tubs to fight with, pioneer towns lived in constant threat of fire. In 1906, train sparks ignited grass on the tracks beside the Mohr farm at SW 89 and Mustang Road. Sweeping northeast as far as Council Road, flames fanned by high winds consumed over 3,000 peach and apple trees, five barns, farm implements, 1,500 bushels of corn, and much hay.
Weather: Mustang, sometimes called “the buckle on the tornado belt,” has several destructive tornados in its past. Churches and homes were destroyed by a 1927 twister. Crops, livestock and farm buildings were lost in to a tornado in 1937. A tornado damaged homes, businesses and the high school roof in 1956. City Hall and a nearby shopping center, an elementary school and several houses took the brunt of a 1970 tornado.
The Great Depression: Starting in the 1920s, hard times followed low commodity prices after World War I. However, farming treated citizens better than in the cities where jobs and money was scarce. You might not be able to find a buyer for corn and potatoes, but you could trade with your neighbor for apples and beef. More people were working and fewer people on relief in Canadian County, on average, than in four-fifths of Oklahoma’s counties.
The Dust Bowl: Following the stock market crash of 1929, weather turned dry, crops failed, the money supply dried up, and the good life in Mustang turned sour. Many people borrowed, worked and prayed for good crops in the face of relentless drought and fierce winds. It is said storms blew dust from Oklahoma as far southeast as the Atlantic
Ocean. Mustang’s fertile topsoil was gone forever, along with any talk of the Garden of Eden.
World War I: After Congress declared war on Germany in 1917, men joined as draftees and volunteers. At least three from the Mustang community were killed in Europe: Pfc. Carl Thomas Medford, Sgt. Elmer New, and Pfc. Robert J. Smith. New and Smith were buried in the Mustang Cemetery, Medford in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
After World War I
Today tiny Mustang is 12 miles square. Until recent years, it could not be found on maps. The 2010 Census counts 17,000 citizens in Mustang. It shares enviable status with Tuttle, Blanchard and Piedmont as among Oklahoma’s fastest growing towns. After World War II, soldiers and civilians with war jobs quickly found work at the Federal Aviation Aeronautical Center in west Oklahoma City and Tinker Air Force Base in east Oklahoma City. Corrections, another area of significant employment, expanded at the El Reno Federal Prison. Mustang Public Schools became the largest employer in Canadian County.
City government: Mustang was governed by a Board of Trustees until incorporation in 1969. The late Ross Duckett, elected to the Trustees in 1965, assumed the role of new Mayor on the new City Council. Duckett is considered the father of modern Mustang. He moved to Mustang in 1963, and was elected to the Mustang City Council and chosen the city’s first mayor. He led a push for Mustang to become an incorporated city, recognized by the State of Oklahoma, on Oct. 17, 1969. About 65 Mustang residents gathered into the Oklahoma Capitol’s Blue Room to witness Gov. Dewey Bartlett sign the city’s charter.
Kendall Cross, a Mustang High School wrestler and three-time All American at Oklahoma State University, won the gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Ga.
Mustang native Shane Hamman, sometimes called the strongest man in America, is a two-time Olympic weightlifter who holds several world and American records, including lifting 1,008 pounds in a standing squat, a feat yet unmatched in any weightlifting competition.
Mustang High School graduate Dennis Byrd, a former defensive end and tackle for the New York Jets, is co-author of an inspirational autobiographical work and TV film titled “Rise and Walk.”
Dan Bailey grew up in Mustang, where he was an All-State and All-Conference kicker, became an American football placekicker for the Dallas Cowboys.
Colorado attorney Dan Slater followed high school in Mustang with graduation at the University of Oklahoma and a law degree at American University. In 2005 he was elected Vice Chairman of the Colorado Democratic Party and a superdelegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

Looks like I made the finalist list for the third quarter for the Writers of the Future.
Believe it or not this is the third time I’ve made the finals, the first time for my story, Annus Mirabilis. While it never placed, it was accepted as a published finalist story in Volume 21 which meant I got the trip to California–Carlsbad just north of San Diego–the workshop, and all the bells and whistles of the contest, but because I didn’t place I was still eligible.
So, here I am again. Wish me luck.
Here is the press release.


About the San Diego Tango Calendar
This website is a one stop resource for information about Argentine Tango events and classes in San Diego, kept up to date through community contributions.
The information in the calendars comes from the local organizers/teachers that update thier own events, and from posts to the San Diego Tango facebook group.
The calendars cover the Greater San Diego Area, roughly the area from Rosarito to Tecate in Mexico to Camp Pendleton in the north. We don't include classes in Mexico.
Local Organizers/Teachers are encouraged to request access to the Google calendars so they can maintain their own events. See the Contact Page
TangoSanDiego.com gives a list of milongas in town split into several parts (weekly, monthly, nuevo, etc), and was made in a way as to require few updates. I feel the format makes it difficult to figure what events are on any specific day, especially in the future. This can be a problem for people visiting San Diego for a specific time period
TangoMango.org, is OK, but is not San Diego specific and google's technology used on this site is better.
Who is behind this site?
Brick Robbins, who also is the admin of the San Diego Tango facebook group created this site. He does it to help our community thrive. He gets no financial gain from this site. It costs money to maintain (server rental, domain names, etc). If you feel like you benefited from this project you can Chip In to help cover the expences.
