Carrera Region – Porsche Club of America was born on Wednesday, June 29th, 1966 when then PCA president, Burt Propp, presented the Region Charter scroll, emblazoned with the golden PCA seal, to Carrera Region’s charter president, Claud Gilmore, as members of the Porsche family looked on in approval.
The name of our Region, “Carrera“, which means “race” in both Italian and Spanish languages, comes from the legendary Mexican North to South, border-to-border road race “La Carrera Panamericana“. The race was very similar to the legendary Mille Miglia and Targa Florio races held in Italy. The grueling automotive spectacle originally occurred as an annual event from 1950 to 1954 beginning in El Paso’s sister city, Juarez, Mexico, just across the international border. The finish line was reached six days and 3,373 kilometers later after driving through dense forests and jungles at the southern-most city of Cuauhtemoc, Chiapas at the border of Mexico and Guatemala. The race was so incredibly challenging, it instantly became synonymous with the title, “The world’s most dangerous race”. This was due to its formidable and unforgiving course plan and because the spectacle was cloaked in tragedy when three drivers and one spectator lost their lives during the inaugural race in 1950.
With legendary German race car driver Hans Hermann at the wheel of a stock four-cam, 110 horsepower, 550 Spyder, Porsche won its first off-road rally race in the 1500cc class at the running of the 1954 La Carrera Panamericana. In fact, two factory-stock Porsche 550 Spyders finished in third and fourth places behind two purpose-built 12-cylinder Ferrari’s that same year. This amazing feat prodded the tiny little Porsche race car into the worldwide limelight. Soon thereafter, and with its chest still rightfully bursting with pride, Porsche began naming some of its sports cars after the infamous cross-country race. The success of the Porsche 550 Spyders at the 1954 La Carrera Panamericana directly influenced the success of race driver Humberto Maglioli’s commanding 15-minute overall victory at the 1956 Targa Florio in Italy. It was Porsche’s first overall victory in an international race with the 550 Spyder. Today, you can still purchase a new Porsche 911 Carrera with our Region’s name proudly emblazoned across its engine cover!
Carrera Region is very proud of our racing heritage and we are extremely grateful to Porsche A.G. for allowing us to keep our PCA Region name. Our region members are quick to confess that of the 145 Regions in Porsche Club of America, we are the only Region to have a Porsche-branded name as our club moniker!
Lying within the expansive area that is PCA’s Zone 9 footprint, the boundaries of Carrera Region span seven counties in far west Texas and it encompasses all seven of New Mexico’s southern-most counties. Our sprawling footprint stretches from the Midland/Odessa area on our eastern border, all the way out west to the Arizona border, and from the US/Mexico border in the south, up to Roadrunner Region’s border, just to our north in Albuquerque, NM.
Our region membership is currently at around 100 registered members of which about 75 to 80 active members regularly participate in various club events. We are very proud to say that we still have a few charter members, from the original club in 1966, in our ranks!
Carrera Region is active in community and charity events, many of which receive national visibility. A couple of the more notable charity events we participate in are “The Susan G. Komen Walk For The Cure” and “Walk To End Alzheimer’s”. The club has many members who participate regularly in Sports Car Club of America sanctioned events and we continue to foster a close relationship with the Pan American Region of the SCCA. We offer sanctioned car clubs the opportunity to participate in many Carrera Region social and track events throughout the year.
Carrera Region has earned many PCA National accolades over the last several years including a 4th place and two 2nd place awards in the rigorous Region t-shirt competition. Finally in 2012, some of the hard work paid off when we won a first-place trophy in the t-shirt design competition at Porsche Parade. In 2013, Carrera Region proudly teamed-up with SVT Mustang Elite, a premier Ford Shelby car club in El Paso, to raise money in support of a local fledgling no-kill animal shelter, here in our hometown. A big-time win for El Paso!
Years of dedicated spirit and back-breaking determination culminated in a very hard earned National first place trophy in the Level-1 Region Website Competition. The honor was awarded to Carrera Region during Porsche Parade in 2014 at Jay Peak, Vermont. In 2016, Carrera Region earned another National award coming in second place for factored membership growth in a Region over the previous year. That’s a HUGE accomplishment for any Region, but especially for a small region such as our own! Another amazing pinnacle of exceptional dedication occurred during Porsche Parade 2017 at Spokane, Washington when Carrera Region was, once again, awarded the prestigious PCA National first place trophy in the Level-1 Region Website Competition.
We are very proud of our accomplishments and our racing heritage. We look forward to taking our Region into the next chapters of its success in the years ahead! We hope you will join us to be a part of the excitement!

In late 2008, I was appointed CEO and Global Head of Sandoz, the world’s second-largest generic pharmaceutical company, with 2012 sales of $8.7 billion and over 26,000 employees in more than 140 countries. Sandoz is a division of the Swiss-based Novartis Group, on whose Executive Committee I also sit. Our product price points at Sandoz are accessible to nearly 90 percent of the world’s population and reached over 420 million patients around the world last year.
Prior to assuming my current position at Sandoz, I led Emerging Markets for Novartis Pharmaceuticals across 65 countries in the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States. Prior to this, I was responsible for Novartis Vaccines in Western and Eastern Europe from the UK to Russia. Before joining Novartis, I worked as a Senior Director of Strategic Planning and Business Development at Gap Inc. in San Francisco, and prior to this, I was an Engagement Manager at McKinsey & Company, also based in San Francisco.
I received my MBA from Harvard University in 2001 after completing my Masters at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), where I studied international economics and the political economy of emerging markets. Originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, I have been living in Munich, Germany, with my wife and two daughters, for the past five years.
Reflecting on the several days I spent at the International Achievement Summit in Budapest in the summer of 1999 brings back fond memories of the terrific people I met and the incredible experience that the Academy of Achievement organized for us in my first visit to Hungary. I am grateful to the Academy for the role it plays in shaping leaders and I look forward to re-engaging with it in the future.

Along The Nile
Slowly drifting along the Nile on a felucca, a traditional wooden sailing boat, is a quintessential Egyptian experience. Especially in the early evening as the last minutes of sunlight hit the water. The Nile is not only Egypt’s primary water source but a pulsing current of the country’s lifeblood.
During my month in Egypt, the Nile River was an obvious central point for much of my travels. Many travellers originating in Cairo, book the expensive overnight sleeper train to Luxor, the gateway to Upper Egypt. However, the night journey misses the magic of the scenic route Nile carves through the country. Passing countless villages, revealing the vibrancy of the Nile delta and the fertile land surrounding. A landscape in sharp contrast to the rest of the country which is predominantly desert.
After departing Cairo at 8am, the rapid emergences of palm tree groves are breathtaking as the colours of the landscape change vastly. Rolling into Luxor a little after sundown is disorientating but waking up at sunrise to a view over the Nile is a worthy and surreal experience. Hot air balloons bob along following the path of the river. Luxor, inarguably home to Egypt’s most prized archaeological masterpieces outside of the Pyramids of Giza. Luxor, which has sadly been visibly tainted by the negatives impacts of tourism, still holds up due to its plethora of monumental ancient sites and enthusiastic yet friendly locals.
Once you venture inland away from the river, deep into the Valley of the Kings, the radiant heat is inescapable even under the shade of a rocky cliff face. Back in Luxor, on the Nile’s edge, I met Kika, a friend of a friend for a drink. Kika took me to a restaurant on a boat docked by the water; A common occurrence in Egypt; many cafes, restaurants and bars are on boats along the river’s edge, each competing with their own music, tafara (apple) shisha and a confusing combination of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails and beers.
Travelling south from Luxor along the Nile’s edge, you reach the warm and golden-hued Aswan. The most prominent settlement in southern Egypt, Aswan is home to a sizeable Nubian community and the river is very much the centrepiece of this city, which for centuries has been a trade gateway to continental Africa. Watching feluccas and other small passenger ferries cruise up and down the river and around Elephantine Island is a dizzying experience and a highlight of Aswan. After a few hours on a felucca one evening, Hamada – my sailor and new friend – offered me tea, dates and a smoke or Bob Marley as its colloquially referred. Compared to its northern counterparts, Aswan has a slower way of life with seemingly endless sunsets and the warmest of golden light that lingers well into the evening.
At the opposite end of Egypt’s length of the Nile, is the mouth of the river that pours into the Mediterranean Sea, around the historic Alexandria. Surrounded by the Nile Delta, the country’s most fertile region, the port city’s complex and multicultural history helped create a vibrant city full of architectural gems and diverse neighbourhoods, not to mention a gateway to trade with Europe and vice versa. Tying this all together, is a river synonymous with Egypt’s historical civilisation and its enduring strength throughout the centuries and remains a pivotal part of modern Egypt, particularly with the burgeoning threat of climate change and water scarcity in northeastern Africa.

The Henley Passport Index is the original and most authoritative ranking of all the world’s passports according to the number of destinations their holders can access without a prior visa. The index includes 199 passports and 227 travel destinations, giving users the most extensive and reliable information about their global access and mobility.
With historical data spanning 16 years and regularly-updated expert analysis on the latest shifts in passport power, the index is an invaluable resource for global citizens and the standard reference tool for government policy in this field.
Robust, reliable, and accurate
The ranking is based on exclusive data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which maintains the world’s largest and most accurate database of travel information, and is enhanced by the Henley & Partners Research Department.
The index’s scoring system was developed to give users a nuanced, practical, and reliable overview of their passport’s power. Each passport is scored on the total number of destinations that the holder can access visa-free. For each travel destination, if no visa is required, then a score of 1 is allocated for that passport. This also applies if passport holders can obtain a visa on arrival, a visitor’s permit, or an electronic travel authority (ETA) upon entry.
Where a visa is required, or where a passport holder must apply for a government-approved electronic visa (e-Visa) before departure, a score of 0 is assigned. The same applies if they need pre-departure approval for a visa on arrival.


Ottawa, ON, June 15, 2017 – The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) has updated its forecast for home sales activity via the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) Systems of Canadian real estate Boards and Associations in 2017 and 2018.
Housing market trends continue to diverge considerably among regions along four general themes: British Columbia, the Greater Golden Horseshoe, oil and natural resource dependent provinces, and everywhere else.
In British Columbia, activity is showing early signs of recovering from last year’s correction in some areas of the province. This suggests home buying sentiment may be starting to improve.
In Ontario, evidence suggests that housing market sentiment has similarly cooled following housing policy changes made by the provincial government in April 2017. Trends for the province are softening, with home sales and price growth in the Greater Golden Horseshoe region slowing.


As your business expands beyond your home country, it is important to evaluate whether your brand names are protected in those regions. Trademarks are national rights. Protection in one country does not automatically extend to others. Therefore, it is essential to consider international protection to safeguard the brand from potential counterfeit or knockoff goods, domain name infringement, or loss of business reputation.
Which countries should you file in, after filing in your home country?
- countries where you sell your goods
- countries where you license/franchise your brand, goods, or services
- countries where you currently operate, even if you don’t sell that specific goods or service
- countries you plan to sell in the next few years
- countries where you manufacture your goods
- countries through which you transport your goods
It is very important to seek protection of the trademark in countries where you manufacture your goods as counterfeits often originate from the location of manufacture as they have the best tools to create knock-offs.

A Crocodile, Elephant Tusk and La Giralda
La Giralda - Sevilla
A Moorish minaret built in 1198, last remaining part of the great mosque destroyed in 1401, is now the bell tower of the huge cathedral of Sevilla. In the photo above the area starting with the arched, differently colored masonry is last of a series of changes to the top. Drawings of previous versions indicate they were smaller towers carrying the theme of the brickwork below. It is my opinion that, unlike so many of the changes to Moorish architectural gems made after the reconquest, the result of this final version made by Hernán Ruiz in 1568 is an improvement. At the tip is a very large 16th century bronze weather vane, a giraldillo, giving this entire landmark and symbol of the city its name of La Giralda.
The shot above is from the Patio de los Naranjos, a paved area with little channels irrigating the orange trees. It was the place worshipers in the mosque would wash before entering. This area was preserved along with what became La Giralda when the cathedral replaced the mosque. It is entirely surrounded by a chapel and building-wall with an arched walkway along the side next to the tower.
One might visit the cathedral itself. It is an impressive, interesting and sometimes beautiful building. The great (Capilla Mayor) altar is a mass of wonderfully carved panels done over about a hundred years starting from 1482. The figures in the panels are about half life size and painted to show against the gold covered background. The cathedral is massive, second (some say third) in size to St. Peters in Rome. It also contains some weird things. One is the tomb of Columbus borne by figures representing the kings of the period of exploration. There is serious question of whether the remains inside are actually those of Columbus, but it is a nice touch. After a long rest in the cathedral one might decide to walk the ramps, built so horsemen could ride to the top of La Giralda, to see the bells and for the view. Just be sure to be rested. Somewhere around level 25-30 the constant, turning climb seems somewhat endless.
On the way there is a chance to view the stonework closely and also get vistas of the city at different levels. Little exhibits of the history, architecture and artifacts are in chambers of the inside walls. I was personally amused, though I doubt maintenance people share that feeling, at how the pigeons took advantage of deeply carved stonework as little cave dwellings. At either the opening below or above this one a pure white pigeon was so far back into one niche, only slightly larger than the bird, that only a wind driven rain could have touched it.
The top is worth the walk and most will probably want to stay for a good long rest. Even kids seemed worn out and possibly a little dizzy from the constant left turns at each ramp segment's end. In this view the Reales Alcázares, the Royal Palaces, and its gardens are immediately below. The palaces were inserted within the earlier Moorish palace. Isabel I sent explorers to the New World from her quarters here, but it is the Moorish portion that is of great fame. The gardens -- well I could have spent a full day in the gardens alone as they are huge, changing and beautifully done.
One strange little bit of the cathedral stuck in my mind from a brief visit many years before. I loved the city, remembered bits of the cathedral, had never climbed La Giralda, but one thing kept popping up in memories. I'd visited for a few hours while driving from Madrid to Rota. The cathedral and many other buildings were closed so it was outside views except that we could enter the Patio de los Naranjos. Hanging by chains way up in that covered walkway around the building-wall was a musty old crocodile and an elephant's tusk. What strange artifacts of the age of discovery or empire were these?
On my last visit (2000) they were missing. I was told this was only during some restoration work. Above where they had been was gray painted wood covering the stonework. The poor state of some can be seen right above the crocodile's head in the enlarged section above of a photo from 1974. Pieces may have been falling and creating a danger. I certainly hope the restoration included hanging of these artifacts that add that little touch of weird interest to the place. One expects chapels and relics, but a crocodile and very large elephant tusk hanging in chains? It is one of those pleasant curiosities.
I asked and found a bit of the story, but not much. The crocodile is a wooden model sent by Egypt's ruler as a gift long ago. I did not find the origin of the tusk.
Sevilla is not all old. It is a modern city with much entertainment, assuming one can stay up until things liven up sometime around one to three in the morning, beautiful parks and a playground of a river through the heart. In a walk over the bridge near the cathedral we were passed by kids, possibly twelve or thirteen years old, rushing across. My wife and I had stopped to look at the river and saw these kids joining more of the after school crowd launching kayaks from a boat storage building just below the bridge's other side over in the Triana section. Little squadrons of these kids and a number of older people were forming lines, paddling four abreast, racing and in general having a great time in the city's heart.
The AVE (tren de Alta Velocidad Española) connect Sevilla with Madrid. Some stop in Cordoba. The trip to and from Madrid is a scenic and very comfortable 2½ hours. I'd commented in Madrid's beautiful station that if this were Japan these Shinkansen equivalents would stop exactly on a mark telling us our car and seat section. Instead of the brass markers behind which Japanese stand I found larger green painted sections showing car number. Pleased at this efficiency I'd liked in Japan I carefully observed the minute hand on the clocks to see if we moved on the minute. We did. It was almost as smooth as I'd remembered the Shinkansen where on my first trip I thought we were late until raising the shade and seeing the outskirts of Tokyo racing by at over 100 miles per hour. Spain with Japanese precision and efficiency? Yes. And isn't it refreshing? It does not take a dictator to make the trains run on time! The AVE make the trip pleasant and very fast.
For some details on the area and cathedral see Atrium's SEVILLA CLÁSICA page.
See Catedral de Sevilla: La Giralda for unusual close views of the weather vane that is the origin of this name. The main page of Hispalis Net's Turismo y Cultura has links to much more detail on the cathedral, Reales Alcazares and other sights of the city.

Homebuyers in Honolulu have the highest mortgage debt-to-income ratio in the nation, while homebuyers on Maui have a ratio that’s third-highest in the U.S., topped only by San Jose in California’s Silicon Valley, according to a report by the personal finance company SmartAsset.
Homebuyers in the Honolulu metropolitan area have mortgages worth 3.959 times their annual income, on average, according to an analysis of data from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The data showed that Honolulu homebuyers have an average income of $131,639 and that the average mortgage is for $521,201.
Maui homebuyers in the Kahului-Wailuku-Lahaina metro area have an average income of $131,681, and the average mortgage there is $468,597, putting their mortgage-to-income ratio at 3.559.

A Decade of Growth: Austin Population Change and Demographic Trends
The Central Texas region is the fastest growing area in the country, and Austin is a key draw. Austin stands out among other Texas and U.S. cities topping the charts on population and job growth as well as diversity. However, population and economic booms in the area do not always translate into prosperity for all.
In this talk, Dr. Lila Valencia will review results from the 2020 Census, recent demographic trends, and take a look at future growth. She’ll discuss implications of these demographic changes on housing, transportation, and other policy areas.
About our speaker:
Dr. Lila Valencia is Austin’s City Demographer. She leads the Strategic Data Initiatives team at the Housing and Planning Department and produces population estimates and projections to support the planning and decision-making of city departments, local businesses and organizations, and the community at large.
Lila is an applied demographer with over 15 years of experience in quantitative and qualitative analysis in both the public and private sectors. Before her role at the City, Lila was a senior demographer at the Texas Demographic Center where she monitored and reported demographic and socioeconomic trends to inform policymaking and planning for the state of Texas. She managed product development for the Center and led 2020 Census coordination efforts with varying stakeholders across the state.
Previously, Lila served as senior research analyst and complaint specialist at the City of Austin’s Office of the Police Monitor where she fielded complaints of police misconduct allegations and produced analysis and annual reports documenting these allegations.
Lila holds a Ph.D. in Applied Demography from the University of Texas at San Antonio, a Master’s from the College of William & Mary in Virginia, and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin. Lila has lived in Austin for over 25 years and enjoys Austin’s green spaces, live music, and cultural events with her husband Michael, daughter Ada, and their family pet Amaya.

Italdraghe has recently delivered 2 Cutter Suction Dredgers type SGT 250 and a Dredging Pump type PD 250R sold to the Kashmir Irrigation and Flood Control Department, a notorious government agency of Jammu and Kashmir, India.
The dredgers will be working on the river Jhelum, which originates in the Himalayas and flows through J&K, is the lifeline for the entire region. It carries lots of silt from Himalayas and settles it in lower areas of the river making it shallower. Thus, the river starts flooding cities and villages around, damaging fields and livelihood. Recently in 2014 Kashmir saw devastating floods in the state mainly due to this siltation problem. This is the main reason why the Government has invested in the two Italdraghe dredgers so that the depth in the river at critical places is maintained and the downstream is kept clear for water to flow as part of “the flood control system” in the state.
In this occasion, as for every client, Italdraghe dredges, our pièce de resistance, have been personally designed and manufactured by our team of high-experienced and qualified engineers in order to satisfy the specific customer need. Italdraghe has been in charge of every step of the operations, from designing to manufacturing, from installing to testing.


Dr Raj Joshi, Expedition Leader and GP
Companies & organisations:
360 Expeditions, True Adventure, Gapforce, Centre for Health and Human Performance, i-screen, GPDQ, The Adventure Boutique
Speaking on Day:
Raj has operated in some of the most inhospitable places imaginable – in both a civilian and military capacity – from mountain, desert, polar and jungle environments, right through to war zones.
Raj is one of a select few individuals that has successfully climbed, unguided, the highest mountain on every continent in the world.
Raj’s abilities as an Expedition Leader were recognised when he was asked to lead the Celebrity BBC Comic Relief climb on Mount Kilimanjaro. In this feature BBC1 documentary, he led the likes of Cheryl Cole, Gary Barlow, Chris Moyles and a host of other celebrities to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.
In doing so, he helped the celebrity team raise £3.3 million pounds from this expedition alone to fight malaria in East Africa.
Raj was also the Expedition Leader for David Beckham and three of his friends through the Amazon Jungle for the BBC Documentary ‘David Beckham Into the Unknown’. He helped successfully guide them, the BBC film crew and the production team safely through this challenging environment, reaching their end goal of visiting the secretive and normally forbidden Yanomami tribe; a special privilege and rare insight into the way of life of this remarkable tribe.


Michelle and Faraz’s wedding at the church of St Mary’s in Reculver with far reaching views over the coast and the monumental towers and Iranian Sofreh Aghd ceremony at the Kings Hall Pavillion in Herne Bay was a delightful mixture of cultures that made for a truly memorable day, filled with tears of joy and much laughter.
Joined by Yasmin, we began documenting the day at Michelle’s family home in Herne Bay on the morning of the wedding to take a few shots of the bride’s preparations to find it teeming with people. Michelle had been joined by her parents and her sisters and Faraz’s sister who were all bridesmaids, her gorgeously cute little nephew who was a pageboy and various other friends and relatives, not to mention the family dog who was keen to be part of all the activity!
Faraz had proposed to Michelle in Disneyland, so this was truly a fairytale wedding which had inspired Michelle’s choice of bridal gown and her arrival on a horse drawn carriage – magical! Michelle and Faraz live abroad in the African continent so this influenced many elements of the day, including the bridesmaid’s dresses and details at the wedding breakfast, many of which had been lovingly handmade.
Then it was over to St Mary’s church in Reculver to photograph the groom and wedding guests before Michelle’s arrival. This ancient flint church is set in beautiful farmland overlooking the north Kent coast – an ideal location for a wedding photographer! There were a few happy tears shed as Michelle made her entrance, after alighting from her horse drawn carriage – I’m not surprised – she looked radiant. I was given plenty of leeway to take photographs throughout the church ceremony, enabling me to take my favourite images of the day – a shot of one of Michelle’s bridesmaids drawing her veil back from her face and a delightful moment of shared laughter between Michelle and Faraz just as the ceremony was beginning.
As Faraz’s family are Iranian, the next part of the day, at the Kings Hall Pavillion in Herne Bay, featured Sofreh Aghd – an Iranian wedding ceremony. Michelle and Faraz were seated in a sofa amidst an elaborate set up of decorations, candles and several kinds of food. A fine fabric scarf was held over their heads by the bridesmaids and during the ceremony, two cones made of crystallised sugar were softly ground together over their heads – a symbolic act to sweeten the couple’s life together.
Before the speeches, I was able to steal Michelle and Faraz away for some portraits of the new Mr & Mrs by the seashore, just below the Pavillion. We managed to time it perfectly – the sun was sinking over the horizon, casting a pink glow over the scenery before providing us with a magnificent golden ribbon of light across the sea – ideal for a silhouette shot. What an incredible barmy evening – few and far between in the UK!
As we were leaving, lights were twinkling across the sea, underneath a blue velvet sky. The perfect end to a perfect day.
Many congratulations you two. You were an absolute delight and what an incredible achievement to pull together such an amazing celebration from all those miles away! x


The National Trust
The Foundation has always supported landscape conservation projects, especially those that engage local communities. Our latest grant to the National Trust (NT) for its project in Northern Ireland is a good example.
Divis and the Black Mountain rest in the heart of the Belfast Hills. They provide free green space to some of the most marginalised communities in the UK. But the NT’s research shows that almost 200,000 local people currently do not use the mountain. This is despite the positive impact that being connected to nature has on our lives. The NT is therefore embarking on a major project to restore the mountain. The project will protect the peatland and wildlife that is at risk and interpret the mountain’s 9,000-year human history. They will engage local communities with a particular focus on the most disadvantaged.
We were happy to make a grant, over three years, to help this major conservation project in Northern Ireland. It will help local people connect to this at-risk landscape to ensure its long-term sustainability.


Saalbach has earned a reputation as a resort with an extensive area of well-connected skiing for all abilities. You'll be very impressed by the excellent lift system, which allows you to discover over 270km of groomed runs, many tree-lined, leading to adjacent villages.
This resort offers breathtaking views and snow thrills for skiers and snowboarders, as well as over 50 pit-stops in the form of very tempting mountain restaurants! It's little wonder it's known as the 'Ski Circus' to regular visitors.
The Chalet-Hotel Christina is actually one of very few chalets in Saalbach. It is modern, well-equipped and very comfortable, as well as being located just 5 minutes' walk from the main lift area and the centre of town, where you have the choice of cosy bars or more active nightlife. Saalbach (and the Chalet-Hotel Christina) has something for everyone!
But there's more to Saalbach than just the mountains! Apres-ski is a part of life here and the town is packed with lively bars and intimate restaurants, although come midnight the town can take on a relaxed party mood. A pretty, pedestrianised town centre also has a wide range of shops and boutiques, so bring a credit card in case you want to stock up on the latest snow fashions!
ON THE MOUNTAIN
Expect to ride large, open, well-groomed pistes for most of the day. There's plenty to excite the advanced rider - Saalbach was a one-time Skiing World Cup venue - but this is a resort more in tune with the intermediate skier or snowboarder, as red and blue runs dominate the piste map. Thankfully, you won't have to do much chopping and changing between chairlifts because Saalbach's pistes are well-linked and the lifts and gondolas are high-tech. Some of them even have heated seats, so you can stay warm on your way up to the mountain's peak.
With so much to do on the snow, it's easy to work up a healthy appetite. Thankfully, the area boasts over 50 restaurants and bars, all of them within easy reach of a chairlift. You can pick between live music venues with sweeping, panoramic views of the mountains, or cosy ski huts with a traditionally Austrian menu and a roaring fire. Whatever you fancy, a Ski Miquel guide will happily lead you to the best tables on the mountain.
There's plenty of relaxing to do in the Chalet Christina's salubrious lounge area, but if you do fancy an afternoon or early evening drink, Saalbach is renowned for its apres-ski. Check any resort guide and you will see that it is often voted 'Europe's Best Apres-Ski Resort'. The town has several busy bars, and they start early too - from around 3pm, locals sing along to Austrian pop songs and rock hits in the Goat Stall, a buzzing bar at the foot of the mountain and the hottest afternoon hangout in town.
Elsewhere, make the most of the Saalbach Happy Hour, which usually takes place at 3:30pm - Head to Bobby's Pub, which has a buzzy atmosphere and provides pool, darts and bowling. And don't worry if you fancy a quiet night, as Saalbach has its quieter enclaves and boasts around 70 restaurants to choose from, which means you'll have a wide variety of food to choose from on the Wednesday night when our chalet staff have a day off, so you can make an evening of it!


Penrose Hospital Expansion: Moved Houses
(Click on images to enlarge. If the click does not work, refresh the page and try again.)
In the mid 70s, the Penrose/Glockner Hospital administration, recognizing the need to expand out of the 2 square block area bounded by Cascade, Tejon, Madison, and Jackson, began in earnest to acquire residential properties directly east, between north Tejon and Nevada streets, a top priority being space for parking.*
Documented here is the relocation of residential buildings that were in the Hospital expansion area bounded by Tejon Street and Nevada Avenue on the west and east, and Madison Street and Jackson Street on the south and north.
The bottom Google Earth photo is a closeup look at the distribution of relocated houses within Colorado Springs.
The relocated houses marked in blue are originally from Tejon and Nevada streets, and are tagged with Numerals 1 to 14; those marked in magenta are originally from Madison, Monroe, and Tyler streets, and are tagged with Letters A through J.
The Numeral and Letter tag values correspond to similar values associated with the Current Addresses in the two pages of "Addresses & photos" linked above.


The town will announce emergency situations and actions to be taken on radio station WGMD, 92.7 Mhz, and TV station WBOC, channel 6.
If you'd like to review what steps you might take to be prepared for emergencies, we suggest you look at the site of the Delaware Citizen Corps; pay special attention to the videos you can see.
Of course here at the beach we must be aware that extremely strong storms can result in flooding, although that result has been ameliorated greatly by our improved protective dune. We haven't had serious flooding for several years. High winds can cause damage to buildings, but again we've not had any more than trivial damage for several years.


The most famous prehistoric site in Britain with World Heritage status.
Its 5,000 years of history offers an insight into the past and exudes a mystical quality.
From the significance of the summer and winter solstice to the burial mounds which surround the area, the quest to understand its true purpose continues.
Stonehenge can be visited as a long ‘half day’ from London or combined with a visit to Bath or Windsor for example.
The City of Bath is a World Heritage Site and the greatest Georgian townscape in England.
At the Roman Baths Museum you can still see the naturally heated water gushing through what is one of the finest legacies of Roman Britain.
Add interesting alleys, markets, street entertainment, fine churches, varied shopping and restaurants and it is hard to beat Bath as a destination.
Bath can be enjoyed as a day visit or combined with a visit to Stonehenge.

How to use Coconut Syrup
Bali Nutra’s Coconut Syrup tastes delicious in hot drinks, drizzled over pancakes, in cakes and biscuits, smoothies or in savory dishes like curries. Wherever you usually use sugar or honey – try Bali Nutra instead. Check out our recipes page. Click here!
Bali Nutra Coconut Syrup
Coconut Syrup has been used for centuries across Asia, it was even recorded that Gandhi used this in his daily diet. When I found out about the syrup in the Tropics of Bali, I was compelled to bring it to the UK, and to educate people on the benefits of this natural wonder.
What does it taste like?
Bali Nutra’s Coconut Syrup has a rich and smoky treacle taste often likened to a high quality maple syrup. It is very sweet and should be used sparingly, for those that can resist the allure, once you have started to replace your regular table sugar with Bali Nutra Coconut syrup you would be crazy to go back, after knowing the health benefits.
Where does it come from?
Bali Nutra’s Coconut Syrup comes from the sun kissed east coast shores of Bali, Indonesia. We make sure that the sap is only collected from Coconut trees that are not within proximity of 5Km to factories or farms that use fertilisers.
East Coast of Bali
Coconut Sap Heated
How is it made?
Coconut Syrup is made purely from the Coconut Sap of the Coconut tree or scientifically speaking the coconut plant, “Cocos nucifera”. It is harvested on average twice a day by local farmers, on small family owned farms, who climb to the top and collect the sap. The Coconut Sap is funnelled using a coconut leaf into a dried coconut shell. The Coconut Syrup is harvested in the dry season which gives Bali Nutra’s Coconut Syrup a unique taste, there are no added ingredients, so that it retains it natural qualities.
What Are the Health Benefits?

Help protect streams and lakes by volunteering to mark the storm drains in your neighborhood. Volunteers can pick up Storm Drain Marking kits that include the decals, glue, safety vest, data sheet and gloves. The decals carry the message “This Drain Is Only for Rain. Do Not Dump – Drains to Creek.” It is an important message to spread because all of the storm drains in Mecklenburg County drain directly to streams and lakes. This means that every time it rains, stormwater carries pollutants from our streets, parking lots and yards directly to our surface waters.
Organize a group for the April 29 Storm Drain Marking Rally. More details here.


The U.S. Drought Monitor has recently released a heat map of the Northwest indicating the intensity of drought throughout the states. California’s recent above-average rainfall is expected to have minimal impact on the overall drought of the community. The report stated, “During the weekend, residual moisture associated with Hurricane Dolores fueled showers and thunderstorms across southwestern California and western Arizona leading to locally heavy rainfall accumulations and flash flooding, despite well-above-average precipitation in southern California during the past 90 days, recent rainfall has had little impact on the overall drought situation in the state.” The report says the three-month accumulation of rain in southern California had little positive improvement to the drought conditions of the state.
A recent report from the N.C.E.I. says the west is experiencing the warmest June on record. According to the report, “on a state level, California, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, and Washington all experienced their hottest average-temperature Junes on record since 1895.” Continuous deficits of rainfall through the region causes concern for crops in Eastern and Central Washington.

I’m originally from England and moved to the US in 1983 when I was hired as a Nursery Nurse for a Diplomatic family in Washington DC. I soon met my husband, Troy, and we were married the following year. With Troy’s job as a military pilot, we moved back and forth between coasts (VA, FL, CA, NC, WA, OR, CA, VA) until his retirement. I began my job as a Realtor in 1986.We have owned and operated two Real Estate brokerages in Virginia before moving to Arizona. We have settled in Northern Arizona and love the weather and recreation opportunities. We both enjoy hiking and fishing throughout the area. Troy and I are both Certified Residential Specialists (less than 3% of all Realtors) and also Accredited Buyer Representatives (ABR) which less than 5% of all Realtors hold that important designation.


The campsite is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, overlooking the North Devon coast between Ilfracombe and Woolacombe, and is within easy reach of Lee Bay, by vehicle or on foot. The site itself has plenty of room for field sports, and groups have exclusive use of the site facilities. There are public footpaths that can be easily accessed from the campsite, taking you along the coastal path, across the fields to nearby Mortehoe and through woodland down to Lee Bay.
Lee Bay has its own secluded beach and is ideal for sunbathing, paddling in the ocean or exploring the rock pools. At low tide it is possible to walk around the cliffs to Sandy Cove and there is no need to worry about being cut-off by the tide as the beach can also be accessed via the South West Coastal Path and a set of steps that have been cut into the cliff.
Mortehoe, once a haven for smugglers and wreckers, can be reached via the footpath that runs at the top of the campsite. From here you can take a short walk along the coastal path out to Bull Point, home to the lighthouse and some of the most outstanding views in the area.
Woolacombe beach is just a few miles from Warcombe Farm, famous for its three mile stretch of golden sands. It is perfect for a variety of water sports.
The Victorian town of Ilfracombe is within easy reach of the campsite. This traditional seaside town has plenty to offer visitors with a host of cafes perfect for a Devonshire cream tea. From the harbour you can take various boat trips out to sea.
North Devon's largest town, Barnstaple, is less than a 30 minute drive from Warcombe Farm. The town has a busy high street with plenty of shops to browse and an incredible Pannier Market selling local produce. The town also has its own large multi-screen cinema, professional theatre and leisure centre.
For those interested in water sports and other outdoor/water-based activities, there are surf schools and outdoor activity centres that can be pre-booked for groups. More details can be provided upon request.
There are many other places to visit within a short distance of the campsite including Minehead; Exmoor, an outstanding area of natural beauty; and the surfers hotspots of Croyde Bay.

Paraty is a beautiful colonial town hidden in a tropical paradise. It has become a popular tourist destination in the last years. The town has a historical center with cobblestoned streets where cars are forbidden.
The Portuguese and colonial architecture has been perfectly preserved and several buildings have been reconverted into shops and restaurants.
Most of the island beaches can be visited by boats leaving from Paraty’s Cais de Porto. Those up and down the coastline can be reached by car or bus. Although the town has its own beaches, they aren’t that attractive. Cleaner and more deserted beaches are Praia do Forte and Praia do Jabaquara. The last one is known for its medicinal mud being rich in iodine. It has several kiosks, hostels and a camping.
Some of the finest and most easily accessible beaches are at Trindade, a fishing village with hippie atmosphere, about 25 km from Paraty. The beaches of Cepilho and Brava are ideal for surfing, while Praia do Meio and Praia Cachadaҫo are famous for their natural pools.
One of Trinidade’s most beautiful beaches is Praia do Sono. It has fine sand and crystal clear water. It is a beach with native and savage vegetation. There is a small fishing community that lives there. You can access the beach from a trail that begins near Laranjeiras Condominium.
Paraty is famous for its festivals. 40 days after Carnaval Festa do Divino takes place. Religious parades and celebrations are held along with theatrical and musical performances in the street.
During the third weekend in August, people from all over the country come to Festival da Pinga, to taste the many different kinds of cachaҫa, Brazil’s local liquor.


Maine is an enigma.
The people of Maine are rugged individualists, the most stubborn set of people east of the Mississippi. They know how to fend for themselves – they grow their own food, sew their own clothes, change their own oil, fill their own potholes, set their own fractures. They’re often free-thinkers, unafraid to hold to notions their neighbors find faulty. Blazing a path isn’t an obstacle; it’s to be expected. Hermiting in Maine is considered an acceptable response to the world.
And yet, Mainers are neighbors. The kind of neighbors that don’t just lend a cup of sugar, they lend their blender and their chicken’s fresh eggs. They help each other without ever asking. They plow yards, cut wood, make meals, fix fences (or rock walls), loan cars. Part of Maine heritage is an unassuming work ethic. No one makes a big deal out of anyone, but everyone makes sure each person is treated with dignity.
It’s nothing to drive people to the airport (even though it’s a 2 hour trip one-way). In return, just a fresh cup of joe from Dunkin’ Donuts.
This is the way life should be.
But this is also vacation land – a place the world flocks during the 6 weeks of the Maine year claimed by summer. Our coast is inhabited by strangers, and rightfully so. The rocky beauty is stunning. The towns feel authentic and quaint. The lobster is the best in the world.
But I know oodles of Mainers who rarely, if ever, eat lobster. They’re more likely to be grilling hot dogs or hamburgers. They likely never visit the coast in the summer. If they do, the only thing they’ll report on is the absurd, urbanesque traffic. Trips to Acadia are saved for winter when it’s silence cultivates the serene.
Mainers have thick skin for cold weather, but when it comes to crowds, they’re a little flimsy.
People’s jobs are a patchwork of the state. Lobstering or serving in the summer on the coast. Orchard work or caddy in the fall. Lifty in the winter in the mountains. And God knows, no one is productive during mud season. The truth is, everyone just makes it work.
That’s the real motto of Maine – the place to live if you have enough grit to just make it work.
Maine is truly undefinable. It’s a place to spend days without talking to anyone, but it’s also one of the strongest communities I’ve ever been a part of. If you meet another displaced Mainer, you instantly bond. There’s no doubt, Maine is home for life. It’s a place known for the summer coast, but it’s really a place filled with fields, mountains, lakes and streams and winter for over six months. It’s a picturesque, idyllic place that’s economically difficult to survive in. But lots of us do with some creativity, a lot of thriftiness and a tsunami of stubbornness.
This Thanksgiving I’m incredibly thankful for the way this state has shaped me. I think it is easier to live elsewhere, but I think Maine makes it’s inhabitants better.
This isn’t just the way life should be; it’s a place to become a little more who you should be.

The business editor of the BBC has recently reported that the governor of the Bank of England is calling for the maximum size of loan that qualifies for a government-backed Help to Buy mortgage to be reduced from £600,000 to as little as £350,000.
This move is in reaction to concerns that low interest rates coupled with Help to Buy schemes are increasing the likelihood of a housing bubble, as house prices across Britain increased by 8.4pc on average. However, this figure differs drastically from region to region as London reported a rise by 9.1% whereas prices in the north actually fell by 0.5%.
Clearly, the issue of a housing bubble is unlikely to affect the north, where Help to Buy is most actively used. That said, this is not a case of the north being punished for southern (or rather, London) housing concerns, as the average value of Help to Buy loans is just under £150,000 – over £200,000 less than the proposed new maximum.
These equity loans, which are currently open to both first-time buyers and those looking to move, require the buyer to contribute a minimum of 5% of the overall price of the property, with the government providing a loan for up to 20% and a mortgage covering the remaining 75%.
Theoretically, then, should a maximum loan reduction come in to place, buyers in the north who are interested in using the Help to Buy scheme will be largely unaffected.
If you would like to talk to someone about the Help to Buy scheme, speak to your Help to Buy agent, or contact Mike Carter at email@example.com or call 0151 264 7363 for any legal advice.
