North Carolina reported a report 3,990 hospitalisations. Nevertheless, this marked the primary time since September 17 that just one state — then West Virginia — reported a report stage of sufferers, based on a Monetary Instances evaluation of Covid Monitoring Undertaking knowledge.
Given hospitalisations lag coronavirus circumstances however precede fatalities, this will likely give some hope that report nationwide loss of life charges could begin to plateau in coming weeks.

Marshalltown, IA is my hometown. In the summer of 2018, they were hit with a tornado that destroyed a great portion of the central part of town. Many buildings were damaged or destroyed, including the Marshall County Courthouse (pictured above), which had the spire torn off during the storm.
Thankfully, no one was harmed during the storm, and the town has really come together to rebuild and help each other out. It was a joy to get to at least contribute some imagery despite being very far away.

We are in the beautiful ‘Kop van Noord-Holland’. You are on a unique piece of reclaimed land on the yard of a former arable farm. On one side you can see the ‘Wieringermeer polder’. The first in 1930 reclaimed ‘Zuiderzee polder’. On the other side of the dike is the Groetpolder.
Middenmeer is the name of the village where we will welcome you and your motorhome. This amazingly beautiful part of the Netherlands has an incredible amount of thing to offer you. There is peace and quiet, art and culture, enough activities and wonderful nature. Woods, dunes, and sea are just around the corner. They are easy to reach via unexpectedly nice cycle routes. Just like fine terraces and plenty of shopping opportunities.
The former Zuiderzee village of Kolhorn, for example, is worth a visit, just at two kilometres. A little further away is the lively town of Schagen. Here you will find all the services you can think of. The route towards it takes you past extensive bulb fields. Turn right before Schagen and those same fields will take you to the coast. Not a beach lover? Then choose the other direction and visit the IJsselmeer town of Medemblik or enjoy a great fish catch in the harbour of den Oever.
At our Marnic Hoeve, you and your camper will find a beautifully located pitch in the middle of North Holland's nature on our own property. We are proud of our place of residence and like to share this pride. With this in mind, we take great pleasure in welcoming our guests.
Once you are installed on one of our paved grass pitches, you can go in all directions and enjoy beautiful walking and/or cycling tours across the West Frisian countryside. From our private jetty, you can easily take a refreshing dip in the Groetkanaal canal, unwind while fishing or play an old-fashioned game of jeu de boules with your travelling companion or one of the other camper van guests on the newly constructed court.
As standard, we offer you and your camper the four basic necessities: a pitch, Wifi, water and electricity. Discharging grey water and emptying the toilet cassette is also possible with us. Finally, there is a toilet and shower you can use. We do ask you to keep these tidy. Pets are welcome, by arrangement, at camper pitch Marnic Hoeve.
Besides living, we both have our own company in the Marnic Hoeve. Coen is Agricultural Business Advisor and works with his team from the office on the ground floor. Margriet works from the first floor with her team for Stichting ZOdIEZiJN (mooidoormij.nl).
The name of the farm was invented by Grandpa Knook when he was allowed to lease the farm from the ‘Rijksdienst voor IJsselmeerpolders’ (Dutch National Service) in 1938. The name is a reference to the first names of Grandpa and Grandma Knook, but also to the Latin word Maritiem and the Greek word Nicola; or "overcome by the sea".
To make your stay at our location possible, there are expenses, and we ask a small fee. We charge € 19 for a stay in a campervan with two persons. This includes tourist tax and the use of Wi-Fi, water and for electricity.
Every day we do more than our best to maintain and beautify our living and working space and your place to sleep. Do you have any ideas or tips? We would love to hear them!

Diaverum Spain, for whom holiday dialysis treatment has long been an intrinsic part of its services, is at the forefront of the booking platform’s early success since its launch in May 2022.
“The roots of Diaverum Spain’s holiday dialysis treatment programme date back as far as 1978, when we began to offer this service through our clinic in Torremolinos (then known as Gambro Vacation Dialysis).
Today, as the largest independent provider of renal care services in the country and with 47 clinics dotted across many popular holiday destinations, from Mediterranean hotspots Andalusia, the Valencian Community, Catalonia and Majorca, through to cultural favourites Madrid, Galicia, Murcia and Leon, the d.HOLIDAY programme has grown from strength to strength in Spain. Currently, over a third of holiday dialysis treatments performed by Diaverum worldwide, actually take place with us.
A True care-centred approach to dialysis travel
While the d.HOLIDAY booking platform has been operational for a little over three months, the number of holiday treatments booked exclusively via the platform in Spain, currently represent over 10% of the total number of treatments booked through the platform on a group level. This places Spain in in the top 5 requested countries list. This early success is proof of our ability to be agile and evolve with emerging trends.
More than the online booking platform, d.HOLIDAY’s success can be attributed to Diaverum Spain’s holistic, True care-centric approach to holiday dialysis treatment. We are conscious of providing additional options to patients who may prefer to reach out through a phone call, or face-to-face conversation. Additionally, we help them shape their holidays, through our very own Travel Guide (watch this space for the Guides), as well as practical advice and information. Ultimately, our objective is this; to empower all patients to live out their dreams of travel, by providing them with the right tools and information to achieve this, with the full confidence that their life-preserving treatment can continue whilst on holiday.
The present and future of dialysis travel in Spain
Thanks to Spain’s tradition as one of the world’s most fascinating holiday destinations, our clinics’ strategic locations and our well-deserved reputation for being a leading provider of life-enhancing renal care, the d.HOLIDAY programme continues to grow rapidly. The patients we welcome are a balance between local and international; just over half of our visitors are from within Spain, who choose to spend their holidays in our beautiful country. From an international perspective, we welcome many visitors from the UK, Ireland, Germany and Scandinavia, as well as other countries. Andalusia is an extremely popular destination, as are the Balearic Islands, the Valencian Community and Catalonia.
With COVID-19 and global current events having a blanket impact on the travel industry, we have inevitably felt the effects of these as well. Despite these very serious challenges, we have been seeing encouraging signs of recovery this year, as the world and indeed dialysis patients, resume traveling.
I have no doubt that our long tradition in dialysis travel, in combination with the dedication of Spain’s d.HOLIDAY team to empowering patients to live out their dreams of travel, whether locally or further afield, will be instrumental to this growth.”

Does the site of open water glistening in the sun make your pup wiggle and waggle? While many local beaches have a strict no-dog policy (boooo) we found a few locations where your water woofer can get their paws wet. Check out these Twin Cities beaches that say “pup yeah!” to doggy paddlers.
Alimagnet Dog Park
A short drive south of the metro you’ll find Alimagnet Park, a 178-acre community park that humans flock to for cross-country skiing, hiking, snowshoeing, cycling, and more. For furry outdoor enthusiasts, the Alimagnet Dog Park is an enclosed, 7 acre, off-leash area featuring an open grassy area, a walking path, woods, picnic tables, and benches. Since we’re talkin’ beaches, we do have to note that this one is a little hairy. The park includes a stormwater pond that collects rainwater and snowmelt runoff. The pond is not maintained for swimming, but it’s not prohibited and many-a-dog have dipped their paws in and lived to woof about it. However, before sending Sparky in, know he’s swimming at your discretion.
Battle Creek Dog Park
If your pup’s a “go big or go home” kind of canine, you definitely want to check out Battle Creek Dog Park. It’s the Great Dane of dog parks, coming in at 35 acres of fenced in off-leash freedom. Burn some energy by romping about the miles of trails, dash through the woods, then cool off in the pond… scratch that… in one of three ponds! That’s right, Princess can choose between two smaller ponds and one larger pond to ensure she never gets bored. The Battle Creek off-leash area is accessible from two parking lots at 2350 Upper Afton Road and 2357 Lower Afton Road.
Fish Lake Off-Leash Dog Area
Fish Lake Regional Park in Maple Grove is home to a year-round dog haven, offering 7 acres of fun at the Off-Leash Dog Area. The fully fenced area features open spaces for dogs to play together, wooded areas for exploring, and a separate space for smol fries to play. After you’ve sniffed every inch of the dog park, leash up and explore the paved trail that loops around the park, ending at the beach. The swimming beach is technically for humans, but there is an area off to the side where pups are frequently seen taking a dip to cool off after a long day of play.
White Bear Lake
Spanning 4 acres of White Bear Lake shoreline, Matoska Park offers a picturesque place to spend a day at the lake. You’ll find paths to sniff, shady areas to snooze, and a designated spot for dogs to wade into White Bear Lake. We’re sticklers for rules, and this one’s extra important: dogs must remain on-leash at this park, even when swimming. They allow leashes up to 30-feet, so unless your dog is the canine Michael Phelps, that should be enough lead to still have a swimmingly good time.
Meeker Island Dog Park
Your dog can’t spell Mississippi, but they sure as heck wanna splash in it! The Meeker Island Dog Park is located adjacent to the Meeker Island Historic Lock and Dam site, along the river at the bottom of the bluff. You’ll find the entrance to this doggy paradise along the Mississippi River Blvd trail. Rather than being fenced in, this park and beach is bordered by nature itself, so make sure the river and bluffs are enough to keep Buddy nearby.
Minnehaha Off-Leash Dog Park
Your social pupperfly is sure to meet friends at this popular spot along the mighty Mississippi. The Minnehaha Off-Leash Dog Park, located on the South side of Minnehaha Park, is the perfect place to feel at one with nature (which to your dog means peeing on every tree, and that’s totally cool here). This is a great place for a game of land or water fetch, just make sure to keep an eye on your eager explorer cuz this park is only partially fenced and we don’t need any runners ruining the day.

It hasn’t been California or Pennsylvania grabbing the most attention on the online poker front this month. The state of New York, which has flirted with regulating the online card game for a few years now, appears poised for a real run in 2016.
There is already stand-alone online poker legislation on the table, and the proposal is also part of a possible budget deal. The state’s current urgency with regards to daily fantasy sports legislation could speed up the process of getting online poker approved, whether on its own or in an omnibus measure. Both DFS and poker stand to benefit from being skill-based games.
New York authorized a few new brick-and-mortar casinos in order to help struggling upstate economies, and it was said at an online poker hearing last year that bringing the card game to the Internet likely wouldn’t happen until the new casinos are built. However, that might not be the case anymore. According to a report from GamblingCompliance, one of the online poker proponents in the Empire State’s legislature said there might be motivation to get it done this year.
Assembly Member Gary Pretlow, Chairman of the New York Assembly Racing and Wagering Committee, told GamblingCompliance: “If I can get assurances that the brick-and-mortar operations are all a part of it, then we will probably move the bill this year.”
Another indicator that New York might be ready to regulate an online casino game is the fact that on Tuesday the State Assembly passed a bill legalizing mixed martial arts, which is expected to be signed by the governor. New York would be the last state in the country to legalize MMA. AsThe New York Times pointed out, the state is warming to activities that it once viewed as illicit.

Europe could face more drug shortages because of the coronavirus
Europe is experiencing delays in supplies of medicines and face masks because of coronavirus disruptions, according to EU and industry officials, compounding already acute shortages of drugs on the continent, Reuters reports.
Many countries around the world rely on China, the source of the outbreak, for drug ingredients in an age of global supply chains, and are grappling with how to avoid shortages of vital medicines.
The European Union is assessing the delays in drug shipments from Asia, a senior official from the EU Commission said, as France warned it was over-dependent on China with about 40% of the country’s drug ingredients imported from there.
The European concerns come as India, which is the world’s main supplier of generic medicines and also relies on Chinese ingredients, decided to restrict some drug exports.
Many active pharmaceutical ingredients are produced in China and the virus outbreak is affecting the manufacturing capacity and stability of the supply of these ingredients,” the European Medicines Agency, an EU body, told Reuters.
This could potentially lead to shortages of medicines worldwide.”
The Commission, the EU’s executive arm, said it had not yet seen shortages in the bloc caused by the virus. But any hit to supplies due to the outbreak could worsen existing shortfalls.

The world sees Italy as a homogenous country, united from north to south by a common language and culture, but this relatively new nation was united only in the late 1800's from a patchwork of former kingdoms and territories grouped - sometimes reluctantly - under a single flag but with vastly diverse histories and traditions. This is especially true in the case of the Italian islands, where millennia of geographic isolation has created local cultures much different from mainland Italy, and on the northern Alpine borders, where many regions were part of the neighboring empires until very recently.

The elegant city of Trieste is an excellent example of Italy's fascinating diversity. Located on the border between Italy and Slovenia on the Adriatic coast, this wealthy city has seen at least a dozen waves of invaders and rulers since the Romans. Most recently, Italy was granted the city after World War I and annexed the area from the former Austro-Hungarian empire. Though Trieste remained an intellectual hub and center for important literary and artistic movements, the rise of Fascism and campaign to transform this formerly heterogeneous city into a “città italianissima” led to attacks on and subsequent emigrations of the city's large ethnically Slovene population in addition to its Jewish population, which was the third largest in Italy.

The Lemosho Route is one of the best options for climbing Kilimanjaro. The route provides plenty of time for acclimatization and takes in the entire scenery of the mountain as it practically traverses it from west to east. The access via the western route requires a bit longer drive to the trail head but is well worth it as you get to drive through some wild country and may even be lucky enough to spot buffalo or an elephant. During the first few days of the trek you will ascend the western flank of the mountain a side of mountain few visitors reach as you ascend through the lowland jungles to the Shira Plateau. After reaching Shira Camp 2 on the third day the remainder of the trek follows the traditional Machame Route and the number of trekkers on the trail increases. The fourth day of trekking is quite helpful for acclimatization as you ascend to the Lava Tower (15,000 feet / 4600m) before descending to the campsite in Barranco Valley. Another day of trekking brings you to the high camp at Barafu, which lies on a barren volcanic plain. Climbers spend the afternoon resting here before making a midnight summit push. It’s a 6 hour slog to the crater rim and another hour of traversing across the rim of the crater to reach Uhuru Peak the final summit and highest point in Africa.
Day 1 – Kilimanjaro Airport to Moshi
Pick up from Kilimanjaro International Airport and transfer to Moshi town which is known as the gateway to Kilimanjaro. Meet your guide and review your equipment in the evening in preparation for the trek the following day.
Day 2 – Mti Mkubwa Camp
(2900 m/9,500 feet), 6 km/4 miles (3 to 4 hours)
It is between 3 and 4 hours of driving to reach Londorossi Gate the starting point for the climb. It’s an interesting drive through some remote country so keep your eye out for wildlife. Another few hours of formalities with the park rangers at the gate and you will be on the trail. The trail goes through the lowland forests where you’re likely to spot the large Colobus monkeys which are fairly common.
Day 3 – Shira 2
(3875 m/12,715 feet), 16 km/9 miles (7 to 8 hours)
The first part of the days trek is fairly steep as you climb up out of the jungle and into the moorland ecosystem dominated by Giant Heathers and a variety of grasses and wildflowers. You will first reach Shira Ridge before the trail continues slightly downhill across the broad expanse of the Shira Plateau to Shira 1 Camp for rest and lunch. We then continue on to Shira 2 camp across the Shira Plateau, and are able to admire the Western Breach if the skies are clear. Today’s long day allows us more time to acclimatize at the higher camps with shorter days before our big summit day.
Day 4 – Barranco Camp
(3,983 m/13,066 feet), 10km/6 miles (5 to 8 hours)
Leaving Shira 2 in the morning you climb towards the main peak Kibo, with the western glaciers clearly visible across the rugged high-altitude desert of volcanic rocks and boulders. The trail ascends to the Lava Tower site (15000 feet / 4600m) before descending back down into Barranco Valley. The area before the campsite is known as the “Garden of the Senecios”, which features many huge senecio plants as well as the shorter lobelia plants. Its 7 to 8 hours walking and the total ascent is only 110m total but having climbed much higher and dropped back down assists acclimatization.
Day 5 – Karanga Camp
(13,066 feet/3,983 m), 5 km/3 miles (4 to 5 hours)
Today consists of a challenging climb up the steep Barranco wall (some scrambling but not technically difficult), easily one of the highlights of the trek. You’ll be able to admire the majestic views at the top before dropping into the Karanga Valley where we will break for lunch and spend the second half of the day resting and acclimatizing.
Day 6 – Barafu High Camp
(15,239 feet/4,645 m), 5 km/3 miles (4 to 5 hours)
Today we make our final push to Base Camp, and we see our longer early days paying off on this day. Arriving to Barafu at lunch time allows us to spend the day resting our legs and preparing for the big push to the roof of Africa. After a hearty dinner you will retire to your tents for a little shut eye before we begin our climb at midnight.
Day 7 – Uhuru Peak Altitude
(5895 m/19340 ft) Walking Distance: 5 km/3 miles ascent + 12 km/7 miles descent (10-16 hours)
The day starts at midnight with the final push to the summit. It’s a cold and grueling six hour hike to summit rim up a steep slope. The trail is doable but steep with many switchbacks. The summit rim is reached just about sunrise and it’s a fairly level hike around the rim to Uhuru Peak the ultimate summit and highest point in Africa. Going down you will head back to Barafu Hut for a short nap and snacks before continuing down to Mweka camp (3068m / 10,065feet). One of the reasons for such a long day of trekking is to avoid problems with acclimatization and get you back down to a lower elevation quickly.
Day 8 – Mweka Campsite to Moshi
(3068m/10,065 feet) Walking Distance: 10 km/6 miles (3 to 4 hours)
From Mweka campsite it is a 4 to 5 hours descent through the forest to Mweka gate to collect certificates and meet the vehicle. Return to Moshi for the night and to have a final farewell dinner with your guides.
Day 9 – Moshi
After breakfast, according to your flight time we will drop you at the airport or assist you in catching the shuttle to Nairobi. Or continue with the wildlife safari extension in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and serengeti End of our services.

Masiá Ciscar S.A. has its nursery of fresh strawberry plants located in the Province of Granada, specifically in the region known as Marquesado del Zenete.
This area stands out for being located in a high plateau at the back of the Sierra Nevada at 1,150m altitude where the necessary conditions are achieved to be able to uproot and transplant the plant in the month of October.
Masiá Ciscar SA. has a nursery area of around 60 hectares, of which 30 hectares are cultivated annually and the other 30 hectares are left for fallow purposes in order not to overstress the land and thus prevent the proliferation of nematodes and diseases in the soil.
This change of title in the nursery allows us to evaluate, select and multiply the best within our own nursery material, giving rise to a highly controlled material that translates into greater crop health and better harvests of plants that finally produce fruit in Huelva.
In addition to the in-house plant production completely controlled by Masiá Ciscar in Granada, we also have important agreements with other nurseries, both in Spain (SAT Viveplant) and in Poland (Vimuska, Salvi, Mazzoni).

You’re the proud owner of a crisp new diploma. You want to settle down in a city with a strong job market and good blend of Northerners and Southerners. You don’t want to deal with too many tourists or snowbirds but you aren’t willing to give up Florida’s beaches and spring-like winters.
You should definitely think about moving to Jacksonville.
Nestled snugly on the St. John’s River, Jacksonville is also a short drive from the Atlantic Ocean (be sure to pack your surfboard). In fact, Jacksonville is so appealing, it was #2 on Realtor.com’s list of Cities Gaining the Most Residents.
Read on to see why “The Bold New City of the South” could be your new hometown.
New graduates, rejoice! WalletHub rated Jacksonville as Florida’s 4th best job market in 2016. More interested in the suburbs? Nearby Fleming Island was rated #3 for Florida’s Highest Median Annual Income and #1 for most affordable housing.
The area’s leading job industries are transportation and defense, and this shows up in the region’s top employers: Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Duval County Public Schools, Bank of America, and Baptist Health.
Defense and transportation not your thing? Jacksonville has plenty of openings available…and plenty of company headquarters. CSX Transportation, Firehouse Subs, Florida Blue, Jacksonville Jaguars (of course) are all headquartered in Jacksonville and the PGA Tour headquarters are in nearby Ponte Vedra Beach.
You’ll be putting your degree to good use in no time!
Jacksonville isn’t that much farther north than Orlando (just a couple hours’ drive), but the temperature difference is significant. Jacksonville has an average summer high temperature of 89 degrees, and the lows in winter rarely go below 48 degrees. If you can’t decide whether you hate snow or sweating more, perhaps moving to Jacksonville is the perfect next step.
Jacksonville sees the same number of summer thunderstorms as Central or Southern Florida, but the area occasionally sees a few snow flurries, too. (It’s no White Christmas, but the real thing sure beats the fake Disney stuff.)
NYC may be the country’s most populated city, but the largest city by area (in the lower 48) is Jacksonville. Taking up the entirety of Duval County, both Jacksonville and the surrounding areas have plenty of great neighborhoods to choose from.
Avondale/Riverside: Technically two neighborhoods, this area first started booming after the Great Fire of 1901, when the city’s wealthy started building stately homes along the river. Today, Riverside/Avondale is a great place for hip, young trendsetters and medical professionals (St. Vincent’s Medical Center is nearby). The American Planning Association even included it in their 2010 list of Great Neighborhoods in America.
Orange Park: Looking for a more rural, “Old Florida” lifestyle? Orange Park is a 45-minute drive from Downtown, so you’ll be far from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Homes are affordable (median home value is $163k), and the area is close to the Navy Station and filled with marinas. Whether you’re a horse lover, boat fanatic, or serving your country, Orange Park is the place to be.
San Marco: Located across the river from Avondale/Riverside, San Marco is a welcoming neighborhood for artists and creative types. Featuring plenty of 1920’s-era Mediterranean Revival architecture, San Marco Square was inspired by the Piazza San Marco in Venice, Italy. Whether you’re looking for a place to check out some community theater or just a relaxing place to grab a craft brew, San Marco is a great choice.
The Beaches: This area might be called “The Beaches,” but it actually encompasses four different neighborhoods: Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach, and historic Mayport. Roughly a 30-minute drive from Downtown, The Beaches offer plenty of fun, sun, sand, and surf in the perfect location: not too far from the city, not too close.
Cost of Living
That entry-level salary won’t have you rolling in dough, so it’s good to find ways to stretch your paycheck. But Jacksonville’s got your back. On average, Jacksonville is 4% cheaper than Orlando, meaning a $50,000 salary could decrease to $47,000.
Housing prices are where you’ll see the biggest difference. The median home price in Jacksonville is only $148k vs. $164k in Orlando; Jacksonville’s average rent is $1053/month vs. Orlando’s $1326/month.
Between the St. John’s River and the Atlantic Ocean, Jacksonville is definitely a water town. If you love fishing, boating, surfing, or any other aquatic activities, you’ll fit right in. Dry land more your thing? Jacksonville has the largest urban parks system in the country.
If you and your family love going out on the town, check out the latest events at Jacksonville Landing. Whether you’re into food trucks or festivals, you’ll find plenty to do.
If you’re a football fan, you might be tempted to change your new favorite team to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The fans in this city are diehard, and the stadium reflects the city’s commitment to the sport. EverBank Field, the team’s home stadium, was recently renovated to include larger video screens, updated club areas, and swimming pools!
No matter how much you love living in Jacksonville, you may need a getaway. Luckily, you won’t have to go far. Carnival and American cruise ships disembark from the local port.
With affordable housing, plenty of jobs, and more than enough to entertain you, moving to Jacksonville might be the first great life decision you make after graduation.
But—as with any decision—it’s important to do plenty of research before you commit to a new plan. Take a look at some of our other posts to see what other cities sound right for you. And call us for a free moving quote once you’ve made your decision. Our crew has moved people to every state in the country (except Alaska). We can help you, too!

Cyprus has been since 1963 marked with a green line by the British, to separate the island into two parts. Since the Turkish invasion in 1974, the 30% of the island has been occupied.
The wall lamp is purely inspired by this green line. The green line is substituted with a green wire, and rather than hiding it, it becomes a crucial part of the overall design language of the lamp. The green wire divides the wall lamp in two parts, in a 70% and a 30% of its surface respectively.
The lamp is made of solid oak wood and veneer. The wall lamp is characterised by its materialistic simplicity. When lit, the characteristics of the material become visible, as the grains of the oak veneer are revieled. Moreover the part where the green wire “divides” the wall lamp does not lit when the lamp is switched on, to indicate that this part resembles the “dead” zone that currently divides the island.
Designed with: Marios Charalambous.
Materials: Solid oak wood and veneer.
Year produced: 2014.

A federal judge in Alaska has reinstated a ban on oil-and-gas drilling in vast swaths of the Arctic Ocean, potentially undermining a central part of the Trump administration’s effort to expand offshore drilling.
Mr. Trump will need congressional authority, according to the ruling, to reopen drilling in Arctic areas and smaller parts of the Atlantic Ocean that the Obama administration put off limits just weeks before President Obama left office. The late Friday ruling invalidates an executive order Mr. Trump issued during his first months in office aimed to overturning the ban.
There is no ongoing commercial drilling in those areas, and the Alaskan oil industry has been hampered by low oil prices for years, limiting the immediate effects from the ruling. But it does raise questions about a long-awaited overhaul of the country’s offshore drilling plan the Trump administration was expected to issue in the coming weeks.
The Trump administration had proposed opening offshore areas around the country, including almost all of offshore Alaska. Though the draft proposal faced stiff opposition from several coastal states and environmental groups, an Arctic expansion had wide support from Alaskan leaders hoping for a revival and an oil industry interested in expanding its options.
“This is a great victory for the Arctic, its polar bears, other wildlife and communities. It’s absolutely the right outcome under the law and for the sake of our planet,” said Kristen Monsell, a senior attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit challenging the Trump administration.
A spokeswoman for the Interior Department said the department doesn’t comment on ongoing litigation.
“From a long-term perspective, it is a central area when it comes to our energy policy and future energy production,” said Erik Milito of the American Petroleum Institute, the oil-and-gas industry trade association that was a party to the case.
Friday’s ruling focuses on about 125 million acres of the U.S. Arctic Ocean and 3.8 million acres of the Atlantic Ocean, the latter focused on offshore areas from Maryland to Massachusetts. The decision to block drilling there came as part of a wave of last-minute environmental actions from Mr. Obama to “preserve a healthy Arctic ecosystem and protect our fragile Arctic waters,” Mr. Obama said at the time.
Mr. Trump issued an order in 2017 to overturn Mr. Obama’s action, part of his agenda to boost domestic energy production. But legal experts and analysts had warned that he may not have the power to overturn the ban under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act.
U.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason agreed. That 1953 law includes a sentence saying the president may “from time to time, withdraw” from consideration any currently unleased lands in federal offshore waters. It has been invoked only a handful of times and doesn’t include a procedure for a new president to undo actions by a predecessor.
Judge Gleason ruled that Congress had passed other laws that clearly authorized a president to revoke the decisions of a predecessor. This law had not, she said, concluding Mr. Trump didn’t have that authority.
The decision could face appeal. If it isn’t overturned, it would require Congress to act to open up many offshore areas the Trump administration had included as part of its expansion. That appears unlikely at a time when Democrats have control of the House and have prioritized climate-change policies to limit fossil-fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

What you need to know about Bulawayo
Bulawayo is the second-largest city in Zimbabwe after the capital Harare, with, as of the 2012 census, a population of 653,337. It is located in Matabeleland, 439 km (273 mi) southwest of Harare, and is now treated as a separate provincial area from Matabeleland. The capital of Matabeleland North is now Lupane, as Bulawayo is a stand-alone province.
Colloquially Bulawayo is also known by various names, these being the ‘City of Kings’, ‘Skies’, ‘Bluez’, ‘Bulliesberg’ or ‘KoNtuthu ziyathunqa’ – a isiNdebele phrase for “a place that continually exudes smoke”. This name arose from the city’s historically large industrial base. The majority of the Bulawayo’s population belongs to the Ndebele ethnic and language group.
For a long time in Zimbabwe’s history Bulawayo was regarded as the industrial centre of Zimbabwe and the city served as the hub to the country’s rail network with the National Railways of Zimbabwe headquartered there because of its strategic position near Botswana and South Africa. It is the nearest large city to Hwange National Park, Matobo National Park and Victoria Falls.
Population: 897 249 people (2016)
Language : Ndebele, English
The rand is more commonly used in Bulawayo, closer to the South African …
The city sits on a plain that marks the Highveld of Zimbabwe and is close to the watershed between the Zambezi and Limpopo drainage basins. The land slopes gently downwards to the north and northwest. The southern side is hillier, and the land becomes more broken in the direction of the Matobo Hills to the south.
Due to its relatively high altitude, the city has a subtropical climate despite lying within the tropics. Under the Köppen climate classification, Bulawayo features a humid subtropical climate (Cwa), though it is a drier version of the climate. The mean annual temperature is 19.16 °C (66.44 °F), similar to Pretoria at a similar altitude but almost 600 km (373 mi) farther south. As with much of southern and eastern Zimbabwe, Bulawayo is cooled by a prevailing southeasterly airflow most of the year, and experiences three broad seasons: a dry, cool winter season from May to August; a hot dry period in early summer from late August to early November; and a warm wet period in the rest of the summer, early November to April. The hottest month is October, which is usually the height of the dry season. The average maximum temperature ranges from 21 °C (70 °F) in July to 30 °C (86 °F) in October. During the rainy season, daytime maxima are around 26 °C (79 °F). Nights are always cool, ranging from 8 °C (46 °F) in July to 16 °C (61 °F) in January.
The city’s average annual rainfall is 594 mm (23 in), which supports a natural vegetation of open woodland, dominated by Combretum and Terminalia trees. Most rain falls in the December to February period, while June to August is usually rainless. Being close to the Kalahari Desert, Bulawayo is vulnerable to droughts and rainfall tends to vary sharply from one year to another. In 1978, 888 mm (35 in) of rain fell in the three months up to February (February 1944 is the wettest month on record with 368mm) while in the three months ending February 1983, only 84 mm (3 in) fell.

A Pulsing Desert
The Sahara Desert conjures up images of merciless heat and endless sands, scuttling scorpions, deadly vipers, gritty winds, elusive water—but it wasn’t always like that. The Sahara has a long history of changing climate, when the sands give way to water and humans brave the elements and survive. The Fezzan region in southwest Libya is the beating heart of the Sahara. Though this apparent inferno receives less than an inch of rain a year and holds the world heat record, it actually harbours tiny gem-coloured lakes: the dehydrated reminders of a time when groundwater was much closer to the surface. 200,000 years ago, a lake the size of England spread across the sands, and ancient channels testify the existence of rivers, making the land not only tolerable, but farmable—human communities rose and fell with the water like a pulse. The Sahara Desert might have even been one of the paths our ancestors took on their journey out of Africa. To locate and map these ancient waterways, researchers have used radar images to direct ground crews to study the sites, but the images of the Fezzan region above, however, were taken by photographer George Steinmetz using an ultra-light paraglider.


The Historic Culcairn Hotel we have been serving the community since 1891. The township of Culcairn was established in 1880 and became the hub for the railway system with rail lines through to Wagga Wagga, Albury, Holbrook and also to Corowa. The original Station Master’s residence, built in 1882, is now a museum featuring the regions rich history. The construction of the Sydney to Melbourne railway saw the town grow significantly.
For its size, Culcairn has a large number of substantial heritage buildings including the Historic Culcairn Hotel, Memorial Hall, Court House, Railway Station and Station Master’s Residence. One of the major landmarks of the town is the Culcairn Hotel. Built in 1891, the original building was extended in 1910 with the addition of an accommodation wing of over 70 rooms, stables, a coach house and extensive gardens. Patrons of the hotel could drive their coach or horse to Culcairn, stable it and catch the train to Sydney or Melbourne.
The hotel boasted the town’s first power supply in 1909. For a long period, the Culcairn Hotel was the largest hotel between Sydney and Melbourne.


Real estate website auction.com has ranked the Seattle area the No. 1 housing market in the country for single-family homes, according to its analysis of home prices, sales data, demand, and economic factors. They point out the combination of strong price growth, at 10.9 percent over the year, and an equally strong increase in sales over the year, at 12.6 percent, as indicators of our market’s overall strength. The Seattle area’s solid job market keeps attracting new residents, and relative affordability compared to other tech hubs such as San Francisco, San Jose, and New York has seen demand continue unabated. Coupled with the fact that it is still 13 percent less expensive to buy rather than rent in Seattle means that everyone is trying to get their piece of the Seattle real estate pie.
Rounding out the top five behind Seattle are three areas in Florida – Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and Palm Beach County – followed by our little sister to the south, Portland, where prices grew by 9.4 percent over the year.

Things to do in Betty’s Bay
Betty’s Bay is a natural paradise and there is a variety of attractions to see and things to do in town.
Tucked between mountain and sea, Betty’s Bay is located in the UNESCO protected Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve. There are no streetlights here and only the main roads are tarred. This allows one to take a slower pace and see not only amazing flowers in the unspoilt fynbos landscape, but also birds and animals in their natural habitat right around you.
With many pristine beaches, various hikes and untold nooks and crannies to explore, many interesting days can be spent outdoors in Betty’s Bay. Here is our top 6 things to do while you’re in town:
1) Visit the local penguins
The Stony Point Nature Reserve is home to over 2000 breeding pairs of endangered African penguins and offers one of the best attractions to visit in Betty’s Bay. There is a small entrance fee payable at the gate (R29 per person in 2020) which is a small price to pay for an up-close encounter with these unique birds who will happily pose for a photo.
Apart from penguins you will see up to six different species of cormorant including the endangered Crowned cormorant as well as a variety of other birds. Animal encounters here are bound to include spotting numerous ‘dassies’ (Rock Hyrax) running about and if the weather is good you will see crag lizards and blue headed rock agama’s right next to the wooden boardwalk as they lazily bake in the sun.
2) Take a walk to Leopard’s Gorge
If an easy hike involving climbing ladders past waterfalls in the crevice of a mountain sounds like fun, you need to visit the Harold Porter National Botanical Garden. Make sure to tell them at the entry point that you plan to walk to Leopard’s Gorge as you will need a key to enter the walk which is only reached after walking a few hundred meters into the garden itself. It is not a strenuous walk but things can get slippery where you cross the stream as you enter the bottom of the gorge and get steep at times, especially as you climb up 3 series of wooden ladders on your way to the top. On you adventure you will see an indigenous forest landscape with orchids, mosses and ferns lining the path past pitch black fresh water pools.
3) Go sandboarding at Blesberg
One of the highest natural sand dunes in Africa, the Blesberg dune behind Silversands beach is a whopping 250 m high and offers a potential run of over 400 meters of pure ‘sand surfing’. The dune can be accessed from Delport Road in Betty’s Bay but is located on private property. As with many activities in small rural towns a pre-booking is not possible as the experience is not advertised anywhere and there is no number to call. The custom is to knock on the door at the house at the foot of the dune and to ask permission to use the dune for which you will be charged about R20 per person. Sand boards can be hired from the local café, Centre Shop on Clarence Drive.
4) Enjoy uncrowded surf spots
Main Beach consistently delivers great surfing. In summer the beach slopes gently into the sea towards the Stony Point side often providing great opportunities with gentle left or right breakers depending on the direction of the swell, but it is in winter when surf is really up in Betty’s Bay. The winter storms from the North West pounds onto the beach causing the beach to become steeper as the sand shifts in the weather creating some spectacular breakers not for the faint of heart. The best part of it is the fact that there is usually hardly anyone on the beach, let alone competition for the waves and that alone makes it one of the best things to do in Betty’s Bay.
5) Say hello to the Southern Right Whales
Betty’s Bay is situated on the Cape Whale Coast – a region renowned for offering the best land based whale watching in the world. With many lookout spots over the ocean, it is easy to see the giants roaming the southern seas with Brydes, Humpback, and even Orca whales visiting the local bays, but it is during the months of June to the middle of December that hundreds of Southern Right whales visit the Cape coast and daily sightings are almost guaranteed. It is during this time that the Southern Right whales come close to our shores to mate and have their young.
6) Enjoy amazing stargazing
It is fascinating how dark it gets in Betty’s Bay at night. There are no street lights and Cape Town’s lights are only a distant glow on the horizon. Unless the moon is full, you can hardly see your hand in front of your face when you stand outside at night and the stars are so bright it feels like they are right on top of you. Once you get over the sheer brilliance of the Milky Way as it stretches over the sky like some space highway you will easily spot the diamonds in the southern sky: Orion’s belt usually somewhere towards the north, the Jewel Box which is visible with a pair of binoculars and the 3 brightest stars in the sky which are only visible in the southern hemisphere: Sirius, Canopus and Alpha Centauri. The Southern Cross is permanently etched into the sky as its constant presence reminds you of the lines of the famous song Crosby, Stills and Nash song: ‘When you see the Southern Cross for the first time, You understand now why you came this way’.


Last newsletter, we highlighted the record breaking US solar market, now the global market is taking center stage.

With spectacular panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Waihi Beach, a walk to Orokawa bay is a true Kiwi experience. In Summer the beach is framed by our native Pohutukawa trees, (Our national Christmas tree). The pristine white sandy beach offers great fishing, surfing and bush walking. A great picnic spot family and friends when the tide is right. Please check this. This surf beach as beautiful and inviting as it is, does not lend itself to swimming, as there is a very steep grade of the sea floor. Orokawa bay is part of a designated scenic reserve and comprises of 145 hectares of native bush including native bush, including kauri and nikau palms. To walk to Orokawa Bay there is an easy track at the Northern end of Waihi Beach, past Oukuri Bay then down to Orokawa Bay. It is approximately 45 minutes each way. Orokawa Bay Villa is situated approximately 300 meters (950ft) above Orokawa Bay Like Orokawa Bay Homunga Bay is full of lush pohutukawa forest and is very secluded. It can be reached by a track from the northern end of Orokawa Bay. the track is well developed and has spectacular views and an interesting terrain. Please remember to pack a day pack, with water, a snack, a hat and sunscreen. These and footwear are essential. This track can be also walked starting at Ngatitiangata Rd above Homunga bay, and walk down the coast to exit at Waihi Beach end. It is a good idea to get dropped off at the beginning of the track, and picked up at the other end. Orokawa Bay to Homunga Bay is a 1.5 hour walk. Ngatitangata Rd end to Homunga is 30 minutes. For update information please check out doc (Department of Conservation) information.

Aïn el Acir Fountain
The Aïn el Acir Fountain – The Fountain of the Captive – is situated in Annaba City, Ardh El Khatib in the Caroubier quarter. Overlooking the ravine of the beach Lever de l’Aurore, formerly Ezabib Raml, it lies between the Casbah and the Zaghouane cemetery below.
This historic monument is an Ottoman sebil, probably dating from the 18th century. The sebils are public fountains built at important crossroads, usually outside of mosques and schools. They provide drinking water for passers-by and travelers.
The Aïn el Acir Fountain is a unique piece in Algeria and is a real mix of styles : the beauty of the yellow and green moorish tiles combine with the white grecian marble carved in rococo style, an artistic and architectural trend that developed in Europe between 1700 and 1790.
It is the last of four monumental fountains from the Ottoman era located in the medina quarter, namely Aïn Jerada on rue Alger and Aïn Chraiet and Haoud Soukène on rue El Fida.
There were at that time thirty watering points managed and maintained by the « Caïd El Ayoune » appointed by the Ottoman Khalifa.
Contemporary winesses reported by historians say that this monument was the work of a single european captive during the Ottoman era. The fountain represented for the prisoner a way to redeem himself and so regain his freedom.
During the French occupation it was wrongly referred to as the « Roman fountain » by the French who, on their arrival, thought it must be a Roman relic.
In 1913, a restoration of the fountain was achieved through the efforts of Captain Albert Maitrot of La Motte-Capron, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary celebrations of the famous Académie d’Hippone.
In 2016, the Town Mayor began the restoration work to return it to its original state.
