The City of Greater Dandenong recognises the Afghan Bazaar as one of Melbourne's most prominent cultural precincts that highlights the intense concentration of Afghan traders. In recent years the precinct has undergone a multimillion dollar streetscape enhancement.
A focal-point provides an opportunity for cultural expression that resonates with the whole community. A centrepiece will establish a physical heart to the precinct as following stages are designed and delivered. A centrepiece can be explored in a variety of ways to establish a focal point and back drop to daily street activity and programmed events.
More information on The Lamp centrepiece
Vivid blue provides an exciting and highly visual addition to Thomas Street. Vivid blue will reinforce the relationship between streetscape treatments and the focal point, drawing attention away from building scale. Blue resonates with the Afghan community, and supports a cultural signature for the broader community.
The tiling artistry of Mazar-e-Sharif is a pallet of inspiration for the streetscape enhancements. It is an endorsed expression of Afghan culture and provides an opportunity for a contemporary interpretation related to Greater Dandenong. It also provides an opportunity for including local Afghan artists.
A vibrant and meaningful design approach can be a community-building opportunity. A vibrant streetscape can establish a backdrop for supporting public celebrations and cultural festivities such as Nowruz. This can contribute to stronger cultural unity, and stronger participation from the broader community.

Augmented reality in Mobile and smartphone devices has taken off exponentially along with mobile technology. With augmented reality having a defined purpose for mobile phone, we are going to look at 3 different mobile VR headsets in the mid-low-tier price range and compare them to see if VR has the same reach and usefulness as augmented reality in mobile devices. Contrasting the features, aesthetic, comfort, ease of use, what sets them apart, and ease of integration with the VR apps is the focus of this article.
The EVO VR is an entry level Mobile headset that retails anywhere between $19.99 - $25.99. It is compatible with iPhones and Android, fits all smartphones up to 6 inches and features a 360-degree panoramic experience and a 90 degree FoV (Field of view). The package comes complete with the headset, removable headband (which is adjustable), lens cloth and Bluetooth controller for the apps that support it.
The EVO VR is a sleek looking piece of hardware in both the white and black variations that are currently available. It is a fairly traditional looking headset, and isn't overly accented by its branding or design elements. There are sleek front cuts on the visor of the headset that allows your phone to breath when encased in the EVO VR and has a small "EVO VR" logo in the corner. The Bluetooth controller has a Nintendo Wii nun chuck controller feeling, and overall looks pretty sleek and ergonomic. Overall the EVO VR is a fairly stereotypical looking pair of VR goggles.
For a lower end mobile VR headset, the comfort is actually not as bad as expected. It accommodates glass wearers easy, and the padding along the ridges of the eyes whilst not overly plushy and comfy are light and breathable. The way the headset sits on your face, makes it so you aren't pushed into the faux-leather at the front which can also be a contributing factor in their breathability as your face doesn't sit firmly against them. The headband is adjustable, and light and the whole piece of hardware doesn't get sweaty after long periods of use like pricier headsets do.
Setting up the EVO VR was clunky and non-intuitive to say the very least. Whilst the design quality of the headset was fine, the build quality and the quality of the components used in the innards of the headset was cheap, and flimsy. Setting up the bumpers on the inside of the visor to protect my smartphone from jarring movements during use was frustrating, and the top bumper snapped not even 5 minutes into use. Attempts to fix it were futile, and so I got by on using it with my phone rattling around. Not ideal. My first use of the Headset was for the 360-degree music experience featured on The Weeknd's music video "The Hills". Starting the video, it took my eyes some time to adjust and properly lock onto the pictures, partially due to the fact that the cheap bumper had initially snapped. Although annoying, my eyes did end up adjusting to the video and was an overall decent experience. Not bad, but not great either.
The controller was a nice addition to the whole package but ended up being pretty useless for games. There are almost no compatible games and setting it up for those that can potentially use it is more of a chore than it is worth. It ended up just being used conveniently to increase or lower the volume on the device.
Insignia VR Viewer + Google Cardboard
Next up is the Insignia VR Viewer with Google Cardboard support, which is a bit of a different beast than the other traditionalist mobile headsets in the market. Google has developed a platform for mobile devices that makes it super easy to experience VR with a mobile phone. You can either build a viewer out of cardboard by yourself based on specifications listed on Google's site, or you can purchase a VR Viewer (Most are cardboard) that is compatible with Google Cardboard. For the purposes of this review we saved ourselves a bit of time and picked up the Insignia VR Viewer for $19.99 which is compatible with most phones from 4.7" to 6" running Android 4.2+ or iOS7+, is pre-assembled out of the box with foam cushions and can run the thousands of Cardboard apps put out by Google on the app store.
The Insignia Viewer is made almost completely out of cardboard, and looks like a child's afterschool arts and crafts project. The cool part of it is that makes it pretty customizable. Whether you build your own viewer out of the cardboard blueprints online, or purchase a pre-built you can draw and decorate it how you choose. In almost a child-like way this makes it more open to your creativity. Want to add glitter glue and sparkles? Go for it. Just want the simplicity of your name on the side? Get yourself a sharpie. The idea is pretty unique, but it isn't for those who appreciate a more futuristic design.
Whilst the padding on the pre-assembled ones aren't too bad, it is a stretch to call the Insignia viewer comfortable. It isn't going to withstand longer periods of wear as other mobile goggles are going to, but it can work for those who only use it for shorter periods, to say watch a music video or even Netflix show on. Whilst the latter removes the "360-degree experience", it still offers a greater amount of immersion.
By downloading the Google Cardboard app, you are opened to a variety of different experiences that are harder to pinpoint with using other Mobile VR viewers or headsets. This completely takes out the work of having to guess if an app is VR compatible or setting up a controller, and makes the process much more streamlined and seamless. Not even a minute after downloading the app and wearing the viewer, I was already enjoying a virtual roller coaster ride. The experience was great, and being backed by something like Google it means that there is an ecosystem of apps and support to make the most out of it. I did however feel a little uneasy about placing my expensive smartphone in a construction made mostly of cardboard, but I didn't have any negative experience in my time using the Insignia Viewer to question it further.
Merge VR Goggles
Merge VR is the most expensive entry headset coming in at a pricey $89.99. Although it is pricey, it can be found pretty commonly for $39.99 during the frequent sales places like Best Buy and Amazon have. The Headset offers compatibility with most iOS and Android smartphones, has an auxiliary input for headphone use, a pop-out window that allows you to take pictures whilst using (Opening the doors for unique mixed reality experiences), has a 95 degree FoV and is fully compatible with thousands of apps on the Apple and Google app store.
The Merge VR Goggles are by far the coolest looking goggles/headsets on this list, and come in two colours, purple and grey. The Purple pair looks like a futuristic VCR strapped to your forehead and has a ton of clean and unique lines and grooves that make the Merge VR particularly eye catching. Going back to it looking like a futuristic VCR, the way you slide in your phone into the headset is also similar to how you insert a tape into a VCR player, which may or may not be a nod to the 90's. The build is made of a polyurethane foam, and it is higher quality than the two other headsets on this list. It also has the most branding on the front of the visor, with the merge logo and "360 degree" text standing out quite a bit.
This headset is extremely comfortable, despite its appearance that it might not be. The foam does however get substantially more hot than the other more breathable options. At the end of the day, it is quite comfortable, but not the best for longer periods.
Merge VR, much like Google Cardboard has an online hub featuring a library of free apps and games. Whilst the list is not quite up to par with Cardboard, I decided to jump into some Rollercoaster VR and The Weeknd's "The Hills" 360-degree music video like I had done with the EVO VR. Whilst similar the Merge VR presented a slightly clearer and less distorted image, possibly due to the fact it has better lenses, or maybe even because the mobile device sits more snug in the visor. Whilst experiencing the headset in much the same way as EVO with added comfort, and better optics I wondered to myself if the price to quality ratio was enough to spend 5-10x as much for Merge as EVO. To me, the answer is a resounding no. Even the top of the line Merge VR can't combat the fact that VR is in its infancy in terms of hardware and software.
It seems that overall, mobile VR is still very much behind its twin brother augmented reality in terms of usefulness, ease of use and simplicity. If VR can start to bridge the gap and make better quality mainstream consumer headsets, then it could catch up and potentially overtake AR. As it stands right now however AR is superior in its simplicity.

Sadly on Sunday 5th August 2012 we had to say goodbye to our dear friend Spirit. Out beautiful boy came to us ten years ago after he was found cruelly hanging in an alley way, he was minutes from death. Staff were called out to help him and luckily saved him just in time. He was then brought to us where he found safety and love.
Due to his abusive past, Spirit understandably found it hard to accept strangers. He bonded with staff and his dog walkers Elaine and Susie and he remained loyal to us all throughout his life. Once Spirit was your friend, he was your devoted friend for life. He loved to snuffle in our pockets for biscuits and his favourite trick was to crawl in between your legs and lift you off the ground!
Spirit was an absolute darling, a total favourite of all the dog staff, we all loved our Spirit cuddles, his big soft bear like paws hitting us for a cuddle, then rolling around asking for his tummy tickled. In the end our gentle boy was 13 years old, an old man for a GSD, he developed stomach problems and arthritis, which eventually took it's toll on him and we could not let him suffer. We made the hardest decision to put him to sleep and let him run free with his old kennel friend Leon who died 10 months earlier.
We all sat and held him till his last moments and kissed him goodnight for the last time. Our dearest Spirit, we won't ever forget you, sleep tight little one xxx

It's devastating when you lose a long-term customer to a competitor. It's even worse when you've been there for them, consistently providing top-notch service for years. You feel betrayed by their lack of loyalty. Plus, you can be upset with your own company. You did everything possible, but they didn't give you a good enough price to compete effectively. Or, your offering just wasn't quite as good as your competitors. Here's the deal: You may be seriously deluding yourself about the reasons you lost the customer.
Recently research firm Corporate Executive Board did an in-depth analysis of customer-loyalty drivers. Here are some of the insights uncovered—and the percentage of their contribution to loyalty.
- 19 percent: Company/brand impact
- 19 percent: Product and service delivery
- 9 percent: Value-to-price ratio
- 53 percent: Sales experience
Stunning, isn't it? You are the biggest factor after all. Your personal impact during the sales experience is greater than all the other factors combined.
Customers stay with you because of what it's like working with you, because of the customer service and attention you provide. But it's much more than just having a "great relationship" with your clients or taking care of their problems. Your customers also want you to be an invaluable resource to them—all the time.
Specifically, that means that clients want you to:
- Bring them ideas, insights and information to help them achieve their business objectives.
- Provide guidance on how to make a good decision, on who needs to be involved and on the next steps.
- Keep them up to date about any changes that could impact them—positively or negatively.
- Challenge their thinking and provide them with fresh perspectives.
Ask yourself if you are doing that with your best customers today. If you're focused only on your relationship, it may not be enough. You may be at serious risk of losing them if a competitor suddenly appears and offers them the value they're looking for.
Don't let it happen to you!

Accomplished Air Show Pilot Jessy Panzer And Legend Of The Skies Sean D. Tucker Join Forces As Team Oracle
Tucker's Oracle Challenger III biplane makes final appearances in 2019 as part of a formation team before taking a place of honor at Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum
Salinas, Calif. (April 1, 2019) – He's flown formation with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and many other legendary pilots and performance teams. Now, Sean D. Tucker is taking to the skies with another incredible act, esteemed aviatrix Jessy Panzer. Tucker and Team Oracle today announce that Panzer has joined the team and the duo will perform at more than ten world-class air shows this season. The list is available at https://protect2.fireeye.com/url?k=1d1b791d-413d4da9-1d198028-000babd9fe9f-2f9af47dc05d06ef&u=http://www.teamoracle.com/.
"Jessy is as reverent to the demands, the art form and the discipline required for aerobatic flight as anyone else I've seen. I'm thrilled to fly with Jessy and share the magic of flight as a team with millions of fans this year," said Sean D. Tucker. "This season is truly one fans won't want to miss. It will be a farewell to the Oracle Challenger III before it heads to the National Air and Space Museum for the 'We All Fly' gallery opening in 2021, plus it's an awe-inspiring debut as a team. We've been working with coach and master of flight Bill Stein to put together a one-of-a-kind performance."
Panzer is a graduate of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and a certified flight instructor in airplanes, rotorcraft and seaplanes. She began flying aerobatics in 2000 and in 2012 joined the U.S. Advanced Aerobatic Team. She flew her first air show in Fairmont, Nebraska, the site for the 2003 Nebraska State Fly-In. In 2004, she qualified in the Formula One Class to race at the Reno National Championship Air Races. Panzer's path first crossed with Tucker and Stein in 2005 when she was invited to be mentored by the two along with Wayne Handley on the "Stars of Tomorrow" Aerobatic Flight Team. Panzer will fly the Oracle Extra 300L alongside Sean D. Tucker's Oracle Challenger III.
"When I'm flying aerobatics, I am in tune with the universe," said Jessy Panzer. "It's an honor to fly aerobatics and I am so humbled to fly alongside and under the mentorship of Sean Tucker. He's been an inspiration to me ever since I began my career in flying."
The Team Oracle Performance
It all begins in heart-charging, close formation action with Panzer flying the Oracle Extra 300L off the wing of Tucker's Oracle Challenger III. Then the chase ensues with a Loop and a Clover Down split into opposing solos. Tucker in front, thrills the audience with signature maneuvers such as the Centrifuge, an Inside-Outside loop, Tucker Upper, Snap and Torque rolls. Simultaneously dancing in the sky, Panzer delights with the Hammerhead, Avalanche, Immelmann and other breath-taking maneuvers. The team then rejoins in a Torque Circle for close formation flight and final astonishment before a charming Speedo Heart departure.

Summer is a luxury I was afforded as a kid. We got to go "up north" (as we say in Michigan) every summer, to stay with my grandparents in their home. They are Finnish and now I remember the details of their home with precision, because it is no longer there. Cedar log-cabin feel on the inside with a huge loft where we all slept together. Dad snoring but getting up early, mom dreaming but getting up later, me rambling late down the carpeted stairs to the kitchen table in the morning, glancing out toward the lake to gauge the weather. "How's the water today?" we would ask grandma, who we know had gotten up at 6 to go down to the dock to take the temperature. "Cold. 72." she'd say, and banter about what she was going to make for dinner, in between bites of toast and coffee in ceramic dishes.
Everything about the house was so Finnish, quaint, and wonderful. The wooden ducks that looked out the bay window on the south side, the huge picture windows overlooking the lake. Their overstuffed furniture and doilies on end tables. How long I sat on the couch and stared vacantly out those windows my whole childhood. How the presence of the lake was calming, even if storms rained down on the waters. The obvious sauna in the guest bathroom, and my obsession with the stove when I was younger, and with watching the temperature rise as we poured water on the coals. The Kalevala out and open on the end table, portraits of dad, Jude and Dave everywhere in their hockey and band uniforms, 70's hairstyles poppin'. Pasties in the oven, grandpa reminding us not to only drink half a can of pop and leave it out there unfinished. Promising to be careful and save the petoskey stones we found. Then, getting our suits on and being in the water all day, swimming, lounging, rock-collecting, finding crayfish and minnows, playing catch, napping in the sun, making up games in the water, calling up Kim and Leijona and seeing what mild trouble we could concoct, reading at the picnic table in the sun.
We went to see the house when my family went up north this summer, and the family who bought it from my grandparents promised they weren't tearing the house down, but did exactly that, and rebuilt it to fit their family's summer memories. The garage was the same: country blue and yellow, where we'd stumble out to get more pop from the fridge, and grandpa would be puttering with a lawnmower or filling a birdfeeder, fixing a bike or listening to talk radio. Grandma's garden was long gone, but I remember picking snap peas and weeding with her, this memory visible in the grass as we stopped the car in disbelief.
I am blessed to have these memories. I want the same for generations of kids, I want the same for all kids. For summer to mean time, sun, water, recreation and imagination, with the occasional meal urged in by moms, with the occasional layer of sunscreen applied.
But summer in many parts of America has long meant violence. To my students, it is time for fights, for parties that end in gunfire, arrests, police surveillance, intoxication, rape and death. The kind of summer that I had each summer is not a reality for so many children. Going to camp is not a reality. Summer sports on organized teams is not a reality. My summers are white privilege, crystalized and idyllic in their blissful ignorance of hot, city summers. There is lots of idle time spent on stoops, sports played at the park, swimming pools, local beaches if your parents can afford to take you somewhere, lots of TV, social media, lots of repetitive days in the park with the same neighborhood kids. There is also a lot happening, cookouts, block parties, stoop parties, dominoes on the corner with the viejos, bodega parties, tons of free events in the city if you have the subway fare. I love New York City in the summer, but it is hot and sticky, and the heat can be oppressive, and maddening, and when combined with alcohol, violence-inducing.
I don't want to romanticize this violence, and my intent is not to bring pity upon my students, who love their summer freedom of riding bikes and splashing in opened fire hydrants just as much as I loved playing in the lake all day. It is to recognize that certain things I love and remember are the products of privilege in this country, when they should be accessible to all people, in an allegedly free country. While I do have to fear my husband being pulled over with a busted tail light and the encounter that could ensue with a police officer in Michigan or New Jersey, I certainly didn't grow up with the knowledge or fear that police violence spikes in the summer. I am constantly aware of these things now, and also remember being in the streets of New York with a wallet in the air after Amadou Diallo was killed. As a white person, I have made a choice to open my eyes and bear witness to America as segregated still, because I have witnessed the duality of existence in this country. From something as simple as childhood summers, the glaring differences in race and class are crystal clear.

Bloemfontein Children's Choir, hailing from South Africa, are one of the choirs participating in this year's festival. They have previously participated in international festivals/competitions in Slovenia, Austria, Germany and Belgium.
The Bloemfontein Children's Choir and the Stirling Bridge International Arts Festival share similar values by encouraging individuals to enrich their lives through music and international experiences. We are very excited to welcome the Choir to Scotland, and participate in this year's festival.
The choir strives to give the children not only a rich musical education, but to educate and nurture them through cultural experiences and developing essential life skills.
The Lethbridge Community Band's mission statement expresses their commitment to the prospect of enriching the quality of life in the City of Lethbridge and the surrounding area through promoting the study and performance of instrumental music, with special emphasis on literature of the concert band and various forms of ensemble music commonly written for woodwind, brass wind and percussion instruments.
Formed in 1987 to fill a void in the Lethbridge music scene, the Community Band has continued to flourish by providing a learning and performance outlet for brass, woodwind and percussion players of all ages. Since its inception, the society has grown to become a valued cultural asset of Southern Alberta, Canada.
Comprising of three ensembles in the LCBS, the Stirling Bridge International Arts Festival is fortunate to be joined by the Silver and Gold Lethbridge Community Bands in July 2019.
We are delighted to have the Lethbridge Community Band join us all the way from Canada this year.
The Satin Strings are an elite ensemble whose members are selected from the Permian Orchestra by competitive audition. Since inception in 1988, The Satin Strings have received sweepstakes every year at the UIL Concert & Sight-reading Contest, for 30 years.
This group of highly motivated musicians performs as a community service organisation promoting the fine arts throughout West Texas. The group also represent Permian High School at various festivals and competitions, nationally and internationally, including France, Italy, Ireland, and Mexico.
We are ecstatic to introduce this young, talented performance group to Scotland, and have them join us at the Stirling Bridge International Arts Festival.
The Vancouver Island Chamber Choir consists of singers living on Vancouver Island who are dedicated to rehearsing and performing quality choral music from around the world that represents a variety of musical periods and styles and is distinguished for its artistic excellence.
The Vancouver Island Choir was founded by a small group of dedicated choristers with a passion for exploring excellent quality music in. an intimate setting. Many of the choir's singers are music educators from the surrounding area.
The choir are devoted to performing and travelling throughout the country; we are very excited to have them with us this July, as we celebrate our fourth Stirling Bridge International Arts Festival.
Touring Chorale of the British Columbia Boys Choir
Founded in 1968, the British Columbia Boys Choir has had four artistic directors: Founder Donald Forbes, Gerald van Wyck, Tony Araujo, and currently Edette Gagné. Under their direction the Choir represented Canada around the globe as singing ambassadors in the Netherlands, the United States, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain and Asia.
The British Columbia Boys Choir is a four-part secular boys choir, one of the few in North America. Over its 50 year history the Choir has trained over 1000 members who have represented Canada on 35 international tours performing a demanding repertoire spanning centuries, from Georgian chant to contemporary works. Programmes frequently include sacred and secular works, selections from musicals and opera, folk songs from around the world, and an assortment of Canadian songs; many specifically composed for the Choir.
The EHRSS are a group who enjoy making music together and want others to share this enjoyment. The society is inclusive of all ages; with members ranging from teens to those in their eighties.
The Society was formed over 100 years ago by a group of people who wanted to foster the playing of traditional Scottish music. Their aim today is very much the same.
The Southside Fiddlers started back in 2002 when Louise Hunter started her first class with a few local children. Over the years it has grown and now almost 100 children are learning as part of the fiddle school.
There are a variety of group classes, one to one lessons, concerts, performances, day trips, residential trips, visits to festivals and holiday camps.
Fiddlers learn Irish and Scottish traditional music and prepare for exams and competitions.
This young, talented group of musicians join the international performance groups for the Glasgow event of the Stirling Bridge International Arts Festival.
Stirling Bridge International Arts Festival is operated by Scotia Arts Ltd in Scotland and Culture Path Ltd in Canada

Bethesda Softworks has revealed new details for Fallout 4's upcoming DLC. Although the first bit of news might be a bit of a bitter sweet deal as the Season Pass for the game has been raised to $49.99 from the initial $29.99, Bethesda promises that the DLC content will be more than the $60 worth price tag. The first DLC and price chance will be available on March 1 and the DLC is available for individual purchase.
The first DLC arrives in March and is titled "Automatron." The DLC pack costs $9.99 and is described as the following:
The mysterious Mechanist has unleashed a horde of evil robots into the Commonwealth, including the devious Robobrain. Hunt them down and harvest their parts to build and mod your own custom robot companions. Choose from hundreds of mods; mixing limbs, armor, abilities, and weapons like the all-new lightning chain gun. Even customize their paint schemes and choose their voices!
The second DLC pack is called "Wasteland Workshop" and will be available in April for $4.99.
With the Wasteland Workshop, design and set cages to capture live creatures – from raiders to Deathclaws! Tame them or have them face off in battle, even against your fellow settlers. The Wasteland Workshop also includes a suite of new design options for your settlements like nixi tube lighting, letter kits, taxidermy and more!
The third DLC is the largest announced so far. "Far Harbor" is priced at $24.99 and arrives in May. Here's the description:
A new case from Valentine's Detective Agency leads you on a search for a young woman and a secret colony of synths. Travel off the coast of Maine to the mysterious island of Far Harbor, where higher levels of radiation have created a more feral world. Navigate through the growing conflict between the synths, the Children of Atom, and the local townspeople. Will you work towards bringing peace to Far Harbor, and at what cost? Far Harbor features the largest landmass for an add-on that we've ever created, filled with new faction quests, settlements, lethal creatures and dungeons. Become more powerful with new, higher-level armor and weapons. The choices are all yours.
Bethesda goes on to say that there's plenty more DLC coming our way, so it you're a hardcore Fallout 4 player, I think it's safe to say you should get a season pass.

Doc Daneeka drops the third installment of his Walk.Man series, this time a double AA side. The Waveform Transmitter's Andy Weights takes on a double header of house grooves.
Hot on the heels of WALK.MAN Vol.1 – Save me and Vol.2 – LUV UNTLD feat Robert Owens, comes Doc Deneeka with Better Dayz, the third instalment of the WALK.MAN series. Available on 12" 140g Vinyl or digital download now.
A-side Better Dayz is a tested club stomper that will keep you wide eyed till the early dawn with a cracking house groove that grabs you and won't let go. Crispy, dynamic hi-hats perched alongside percussion from an African mother play well with a boss piano line, as filter sweeps draw us in and out to a swing that instantly grabs your midriff and begs it to shake.
Double AA side Stay away from music is a subtle steam roller that brings the clap with a playful synth and a vocal sample that exclaims "it's no good for you"
A great sounding triple dose of feel good house for your arses, the WALK.MAN mixtape will be released in full on Cassette and Digital at the end of the Summer by Ten Thousand Yen.

Sadly my cat Mickey had to be put to sleep today- he had been unwell recently and it turned out to be an unoperable tumour in his intestine.
RIP Mickey.
I am deeply sorry for your loss, My Dog Sir. Lancelot has cancer, and sadly is in the same boat as Mickey. My heart goes out too you and yours.

Ahhh, autoplay videos. The perfect way to get your amazing video in front of your customers. You don't need them to press play, they just land on your site and your perfectly crafted message is in their face.
In theory, fantastic idea. Videos are huge in today's and can be a fantastic way to get your message across quickly.
But there's a big problem with the autoplay videos. Sound!
If you've noticed, FB and Instagram mute all videos when they are auto-played until you tell them not to. If the most powerful marketing company in the world does this, you should, too.
In today's world, over half the searches are being done on mobile.
So let's picture your customer. They are doing one of two things.
Listening to music/podcast/audiobook.
Their volume is up. It's loud, in their ear. They're scrolling through Google. Your perfect ad you're paying $3 a click for shows up. It's a perfect match. They click on your ad and bam! Your loud video starts playing in their ear.
What do they do? They back out. Immediately. Every time.
Or, this person is sitting in a waiting room, on the bus, at dinner. Same thing, loud video, but now everyone hears it! Again, they leave your page. Immediately. Every time.
This person will not come back to your site. They will go to the next ad or link that best gets their attention. Your customer is gone.
Luckily, there are a couple very simple fixes.
Easy one, don't make it autoplay. I know I know, it's kind of sexy when the video auto-plays, either in the background or upon reaching the site.
But if your customer is really diving into your content, they will press play.
Another option is removing the sound. If it's an informational video, this is a little difficult, but if it's a background video, this is a must.
Very simple fixes the dramatically improve the overall experience on your site.

Srinagar, May 04 (KMS): In occupied Kashmir, the High Court Bar Association (HCBA) has strongly condemned the use of brute force by Indian troops and police against civilians in Shopian, yesterday.
Over twenty people were injured, some of them critically, when Indian police and troops fired bullets, pellets and teargas shells on peaceful demonstrators who were protesting against the killing of three youth.
The HCBA in a statement issued in Srinagar said that people who were protesting against the killing of three Kashmiri youth were fired at and many had to be rushed to different hospitals for specialized treatment.
It termed the act of the Indian forces as a gross human rights violation and demanded that the continued bloodshed of the innocent people by the Indian force should be stopped forthwith. The Kashmir dispute should be resolved in accordance with the aspirations of the Kashmiri people, it added.
The HCBA reiterated its stance that holding of farcical elections in the territory was a futile exercise as the sham polls could not be a substitute to the right to self-determination of the people.
It said India should respect the aspirations of the people of Kashmir and give them their birthright as is promised by its rulers and guaranteed by the resolutions of the UN Security Council several decades ago.

Remember the Manifesta? Reparations are Due
Danielle Hirano, Senior, Class of 2019
May 16, 2019
On April 25th, the Whitman Wire received "We Need to Thrive: a Manifesta," collectively written by nine women of color faculty members. In a revolutionary spirit, they voiced their grievances about the "exodus" of women of color faculty members in 2018-2019 and the reasons for their departure. ...
Class of 2019 Smallest in Recent Times
Georgia Lyon
September 17, 2015
Whitman's class of 2019 is smaller than expected because the yield from the main applicant and waitlist pools was lower than anticipated. The group of 364 first-years and 17 transfers fell well short of both the goals and expectations of the Office of Admissions given past trends, resulting in more space in residence halls this year.

Happy New Music Friday September 7, 2018!
Happy New Music Friday September 7, 2018!
On Fridays, music lovers are inundated with new songs and videos. Instead of posting about each item individually (they'll get lost in the shuffle anyway), we figured a roundup would be best. Here's this week's New Music Friday highlights:
[adinserter block="1″]
Sigala, Ella Eyre, Meghan Trainor ft. French Montana – "Just Got Paid" (Lyric Video)
I have never related to anything more. Sigala, Ella Eyre, Meghan Trainor and French Montana team up together on new song "Just Got Paid." The track details living a champagne lifestyle on a root beer budget. "I should grow up some day / Cause I got bills to pay," Ella sings. Meghan doubles down: "And it feels like every day's a holiday / So I can take my check to the bank / And I know, know, know I should be worried / But I work, work, work to the bone, baby." Friday is payday, and I KNOW y'all can relate.
[adinserter block="2″]
Steve Aoki, Nicky Romero & Kiiara – "Be Somebody" (Song)
The summer pool parties are winding down, but EDM will live forever. Super producer Steve Aoki tapped Nicky Romero and singer Kiiara for new song, "Be Somebody," an electro-tinged, uptempo bop about being an independent badass. This is for all the lonely hearts out there:
[adinserter block="3″]
Noah Cyrus & Gallant – "Mad At You" (Song)
Just in case you've been out living your life like a normal person and not paying mind to petty drama, Noah Cyrus was dating rapper Lil Xan, but they broke up. Why? Noah texted Lil Xan an edit of Charlie Puth's face onto a beefy naked guy and it was all downhill from there (I'm telling you the truth. This really happened). They both started publicly accusing each other of cheating and that's as deep as I chose to go down that rabbit hole. It was "well timed." Noah has a new song out now titled "Mad At You" with Gallant – a track supposedly about her fallout with Lil Xan. "You love me. You need me. And this aint so easy, believe me," she sings. We love clever PR.
[adinserter block="4″]
Kanye West, Lil Pump & Adele Givens – "I Love It" (Music Video)
My oh my how far Kanye West has fallen this year. I can't decide if his latest release, "I Love It," is pure garbage or a bop. It's a little bit of both (the production is good at least), but keep this song away from me and we'll be good. Here are two lyrics worth mentioning because they are so poetic: "You're such a f–kin ho. I love it." "I'm a sick f–k I like a quick f–k." You've been warned:
[adinserter block="5″]
Carrie Underwood – "End Up With You" (Song)
The country superstar offered fans a new taste of her forthcoming album, Cry Pretty (out Sep. 14). "End Up With You" is a tantalizing, romantic love song that leans more towards pop than country. "And we could end up broke down on some back road," she sings over a sugary guitar melody. "Lovin' in the back seat to the radio / Wouldn't be the worst scenario / 'Cause all I wanna do is end up with you." I'm not crying are you crying?
Shout-out to Jessie Reyez's "F–k Being Friends."

Manchester United will have to keep paying half of Marouane Fellaini's £100,000-a-week wages if they want the Belgian flop to go out on loan to Napoli.
Rafa Benitez is interested in taking Fellaini away from Old Trafford for the season after new United boss Louis van Gaal made him surplus to requirements less than a year since his £27.5million arrival from Evertton.
But the midfielder's salary is too rich for the Italians. And the Old Trafford giants will have to bite the bullet by continuing to pay him £50,000 a week, with Napoli making good the rest.
Fellaini failed to score in 21 appearances last season, after a deadline-day transfer saw United pay £4m more because they failed to trigger a buy-out clause in his Everton contract by the end of July.
Van Gaal's arrival has offered him no respite.
Even an ankle injury to Michael Carrick, which will sideline the England midfielder for two months, has failed to win Fellaini a reprieve.
And if United fail to agree a loan deal, then the 26-year-old faces the prospect of spending the season either on the bench or in the stand.
Borussia Dortmund, though, are lining up a cut-price swoop to take United misfit Shinji Kagawa back to the Bundesliga.
Kagawa has failed to nail down a regular place since joining from Dortmund for £17m two years ago. Now, Jurgen Klopp is set to offer United £12m for him.

What I Can See from My Window – Rosemary
When we moved into our new home, I could see a tree with glossy green leaves from the large windows that overlooked our courtyard garden. As it was wintertime, we had no idea what the tree was. However, when summer came, and large cone-shaped buds formed on the tree we learnt that it was a 'Little Gem' Magnolia. I was amazed when the first bud opened revealing a large white flower of breathtaking beauty. But I soon realised the…

Our bearded dragon, Thor, has gone into brumation. This is hibernation for reptiles basically. She goes to sleep in her tank when it starts to get cold and stays asleep until it warms up again. It doesn't matter if we keep the heat lamp on or if the central heating is going, she still goes to sleep as the summer ends and wakes up as spring arrives. She just seems to know. Thor is now 7½ years old and she…

The Woman in the Red Hat
She had seen the red hat in an 'op shop'. As it was an expensive brand, looked new, and was being sold cheaply, she couldn't resist buying it. It was a daring purchase for one who had become so conservative. But now she wore it with confidence, and it was a good companion for her greying hair. As well she had got to a stage in her life when she didn't care what people thought. Maybe moving to a more…
At this time when we can't see the COVID-19 virus, we have to trust our leaders and medical experts that it exists. Our faith requires we trust in an unseen God so perhaps this can help us. While our freedom of movement is curtailed our memories are free to roam unfettered. This allows us to double-dip into pleasurable moments we've experienced in the past. Recently my mind drifted back to something I'd seen last spring while walking along the footpath…
Narrative lectionary readings

Clancy Brown is getting a lot of off-Hollywood work these days. The "Shawshank" star's long been a favorite of mine.
In "SuperCon" he plays a beloved but hateful genre-picture star — think Ron Perlman/Bruce Campbell/Shatner — whose bounty for autographs becomes the target of a group of convention-goers planning a heist.
John Malkovich, Russell Peters, Mike Epps and Maggie Grace — as the Fanboy's Fantasy — star in this farce, which of course has to fall all over itself to avoid copyright infringement.
"Supercon" opens April 27 in "select cities.

The companies announced that they would each be investing $50 million in the project which will help shape any decisions "about potential commercial opportunities".
The partnership will be limited to Canada with AB InBev subsidiary Labatt Breweries working with Tilray-owned High Park Company, which cultivates and produces a portfolio of adult-use cannabis brands.
The companies will explore the potential of using tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) in non-alcoholic drinks, something already being explored by the likes of Molson Coors, Heineken, Valiente and Rebel Coast.
AB InBev, the owner of global beer brands including Budweiser, Corona and Stella Artois, already has some interest in the sector through ownership of a 31.4% stake in the Craft Brew Alliance. Back in July it was reported by Brewbound that the Oregon-based craft brewing group would be experimenting with CBD infused beverages, as well as non-alcoholic, fermented drinks.
Labatt Breweries was founded in London, Ontario in 1847 and today has over 3,400 employees, six breweries and three craft brewers. It brews a portfolio of 60 beers for AB InBev in Canada, including Budweiser, Alexander Keith's, Labatt Blue, Kokanee, Stella Artois and Corona.
AB InBev joins a number of other drinks companies that have already expressed interest in the sector, including Constellation Brands, which has invested heavily in Cannabis producer Canopy Growth Corp.
Canada legalised recreational cannabis on 17 October, making it the second country after Uruguay, which passed legislation in 2013, to impose such a measure.
Customers must be 18 or over in order to purchase the drug. Cannabis possession was first criminalised in Canada in 1923, but medical marijuana has been legal in the country since 2001. It is hoped legalising the drug will raise C$400m a year in tax revenue.
In a 'second wave of legalisations', the Canadian federal government has stated that edibles containing cannabis and cannabis concentrates will be legally available from 17 October 2019.
Kyle Norrington, president of Labatt Breweries of Canada, said: "Labatt is committed to staying ahead of emerging consumer trends. As consumers in Canada explore THC and CBD-infused products, our innovative drive is matched only by our commitment to the highest standards of product quality and responsible marketing. We intend to develop a deeper understanding of non-alcohol beverages containing THC and CBD that will guide future decisions about potential commercial opportunities. We look forward to learning more about these beverages and this category in the months ahead".
Brendan Kennedy, CEO of Tilray, added: "We are delighted to be joining forces with a world-leading beverage company, AB InBev, to research how to create enjoyable cannabis beverage products. Tilray and AB InBev share a commitment to responsible product development and marketing, and we look forward to beginning our work on this important partnership as Tilray continues to pioneer the development of a professional, transparent, and well-regulated cannabis industry".
In their joint press release, the companies stated that they believe the legal market for THC and CBD infused beverages "will only thrive if the industry embraces appropriate regulation of adult-use cannabis, including responsible production, marketing, sale and consumption".

In a recent post, I looked at how some teams in our men's national league football competition, the ISPS Handa Premiership, had embraced the new-found freedom from New Zealand Football's more relaxed broadcasting restrictions for the 2018/19 season.
As outlined, there's been encouraging and exciting progress from some clubs, proving that there's a lot of potential in allowing clubs the freedom to create and distribute content, including sharing match highlights and live streaming of entire matches.
But with only this Sunday's intriguing grand final remaining in this summer's national league, I can't help but be quite disappointed with the lack of progress made across the wider competition.
Not only have most teams not made much (or any) effort in streaming matches, but only a handful of teams have really embraced the freedom to distribute highlights across social media platforms. Back in September, John excitedly envisioned short clips of notable highlights taking social media by storm. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a lot of uptake. I guess it's hard to put together highlights when most teams aren't filming or streaming the matches in the first place.
I've noticed that there's a small (yet surprisingly insistent) level of scepticism, occasionally bordering on animosity, towards streaming of national league football matches.
Much of the animosity seems to be based on whether it's the best use of the clearly limited resources that our clubs have – and that's probably a fair question to ask, although the truth is that the resources and costs don't need to be as excessive as some people seem to think.
Auckland City FC, who have long been the league's benchmark team in so many respects both on the pitch and off it, have decided against embracing the opportunity to livestream matches. To their credit, they have at least come out and explained (via Twitter) some of the reasons for their opposition; those reasons include not wanting to undermine their brand with low quality content; concerns around the impact of overseas gambling; and the potential impact on their gate takings.
I don't intend to pick on ACFC unnecessarily – I can understand their decision even if I don't necessarily agree with them. But I think it's worth exploring some of those reasons in a broader context to see exactly where genuine issues lie.
Quality Control
In terms of quality control, I'm not so sure that argument stacks up any more. The quality of live content produced in recent weeks by Southern United has received plenty of praise, and that's been put together by amateurs learning as they go and on a shoestring budget. Tasman United's recent stream produced by the Total Football team took it to the next level with presentation not far off what Sky TV produce, including multiple cameras and action replays.
I don't really see why Auckland City couldn't produce a livestream to match the quality of their excellent highlights packages if they decided they wanted to. Some other lesser-resourced teams would probably need to get more creative – and ambitious – than they currently are – but it's not impossible.
"Am I The Only One Here Not Betting?"
A common argument relates to the impact of overseas betting. Yes, a staggering $33 million was reported to have been wagered on the competition in offshore markets in 2017 – with none of that money filtering back to help the teams or NZ Football. And it's probably fair to assume that matches freely broadcast live on the internet will entertain more interest from overseas. Southern United's recent live Youtube stream vs Auckland City received countless live comments from overseas gamblers (many of them out of pocket and angry that ACFC weren't thumping the home team as their form guides might have suggested).
But I believe we need to accept that whether matches are broadcast online or not we can't prevent this wagering from happening (it didn't stop the $33 million noted as wagered above, did it?) Heck, if you look in the right places you can bet on an Under 12 Basketball tournament in Lithuania.
Answer me this though – which of the following situations is more likely to be susceptible to players being corrupted or influenced by overseas bookmakers –
- A non-broadcast match seen in-person by a tiny crowd, never to be watched again?; or
- A match openly broadcast live on the internet and forever replayable?
NZ Football already goes to great lengths to educate players and clubs in respect to the potential for match fixing and ensuring the integrity of the league. Surely the more transparent and visible the competition is, the better?
The Game
For my mind, the potential impact on gate takings is probably Auckland City's best argument against streaming home matches. They get consistently respectable crowds who are prepared to pay $15 for a ticket, or $90 for a season pass. Live streaming matches could certainly result in a few of the more fairweather fans staying at home.
It seemed like there weren't many fans in attendance at Kiwitea Street for their recent clash against Hamilton Wanderers – was the turnout hurt because that match was televised live on Sky? (There were a raft of other possible factors, including the later kickoff time and the Phoenix match in Auckland the night before).
But even this argument seems short-sighted. Most clubs don't get sizeable crowds as it is, with the competition lacking a true mainstream presence despite the huge number of football players and fans across the country.
Imagine if the English Premier League had never embraced the broadcasting deals which have helped turn an already big competition into such a global behemoth awash with money. In the early 90s, no footballer on the planet was earning close to £500,000 a year. Now we have players earning that much every single week of the year. The phenomenal increases are primarily on the back of skyrocketing broadcasting deals which have helped to globalise the competition.
I'm not crazy enough to pretend there's a huge global appetite for our national league – but NZ Football isn't exactly receiving truckloads of money from Sky TV (instead, we're paying Sky for the privilege!) so why not have a crack at a different broadcasting approach?
Power in Numbers
That leads to another point that Auckland City raised – that ideally NZ Football would be taking the lead and ensuring there's a consistent approach to broadcasting matches across the competition.
Ultimately, it would be nice to see a high-quality centralised broadcasting platform; it would also greatly enhance the promotion and presence of the content. It's disappointing that NZ Football hasn't been proactive in being more innovative and taking ownership in this space – so far at least.
World of Entertainment
There's plenty of arguments that could be made against a uniform broadcasting platform covering all matches. Some will argue that there's simply not the demand to justify it. Some might argue that teams that don't even bother to make regular posts on their Facebook, Twitter, and website pages are hardly going to make extra effort to get properly involved in broadcasting. And some will argue that a team's online presence is a trivial concern compared to what they're actually doing on the pitch, and that filming and broadcasting football matches is an unnecessary distraction from the football itself. (As an aside, in my experience there's a clear link between the effort a team makes off the pitch and their success on it).
But I'd love to see us all being a bit more ambitious than this. Perhaps it could even become a genuine revenue stream in the not-too-distant future?
And imagine being able to watch any national league match live on any device from anywhere in the world. Wouldn't it be great to beat some of our nation's other high profile sports to the punch in this respect?
I'd love to hear if any NZ competitions or clubs are streaming over the winter season – please leave a comment and let me know!

Sarawak turns to Raickovic for help in their relegation battle
Sarawak has replaced the services of Mark Hartmann with Milos Raickovic as they go in search of improving their fortunes in the Super League as well as providing a challenge in the Malaysia Cup.
Raickovic, a midfielder from Montenegro moved from Buducnost Podgorica to Sarawak, having been with the PRVA Crnogorska Liga club since 2013. Raickovic had played 28 times for Podgorica in 2017 as Sarawak's coach David Usop looks to shore up his midfield with his signing.
Credit: Sarawak FA
One player's gain turns out to be the loss for another as Hartmann heads out of the team after only half a season with the Crocs. During that short period, the Philippines international has scored seven goals for Sarawak - three in the league and another four in their FA Cup run.
Usop's team only qualified for the Malaysia Cup by virtue of being the 11th out of 12 teams in the Super League. With only two league wins all season, they are facing an uphill battle to maintain their top tier status for another season.
The Crocs managed to hold Selangor to a 1-1 draw in their last league fixture. Raickovic will have a chance to get Sarawak's campaign going when his new team takes on Perak on Wednesday, in the final competitive fixture before the season takes a break due to the Ramadhan fasting month.

Everyone wants to live a more "Green" energy efficient lifestyle. Everyone wants to save money. Everyone wants to breathe cleaner, safer air in their home. These are all important reasons to demand a Residential Manual J Load Calculation done on your HVAC system. The MOST important reason however is that someone, probably you, will be living in that home for decades to come and you deserve to be COMFORTABLE!
Think about it, every room in your home is a different size, has a different number of windows, and houses a different number of appliances. If your HVAC contractor sizes and places your energy equipment, which costs thousands of dollars, without a Residential Manual J Load Calculation, the efficiency of that system will be in question. Many cities currently require a J Load Calculation done before the contractor can get a building permit. YOU will not be eligible for the rebates offered through energy programs without an "Air Conditioning Contractors of America" or "ACCA" Certified Residential Manual J Load Calculation.
There are currently only four ACCA approved Residential Manual J Load Calculation softwareĺs: WrightSoft, Elite, Nitec and ADTEK. Make certain one of these software programs is used on your HVAC calculation to ensure you are eligible for the Build Green, LEED and Energy Star rebate programs.
The aforementioned WrightSoft software company and ACCA have been partners since 1986. As the original ACCA Technical Partner, WrightSoft's 20 year relationship is longer than all the other software partners combined. A large number of state inspectors use WrightSoft exclusively for code enforcement.
So Homeowners, now you have the knowledge, exercise your power: To live in a "Green" more efficient home, save money, breathe cleaner safer air and most important LIVE COMFORTABLY, you must demand an ACCA Certified Manual J Load Calculation is done on your HVAC System!

It just keeps getting better for Adam Lambert. Right after rocking the stage at Universal Resort in Orlando, the 34-year-old sat down with "Extra's" Mario Lopez, telling us about staying fit during his current tour.
The singer has transformed his look since his days on "Idol," looking more fit than ever. His secret? "It's all thanks to being on tour. You know, I'm doing a lot of shows. [It] keeps me healthy, keeps me in shape. I'm sweating my face off every night, but it feels good."
He's feeling good and looking good, too, with a bunch of new tattoos. He admitted, "I am fully addicted to tattoos." Showing off his ink, Adam said, "I started on this arm and worked my way up. I went over to this." He went on, "I think it looks cool and I've met a couple of tattoo artists, I follow them on Instagram and I like their work, so the guy who did all this stuff, I sat down with him and was like, 'Make me look cool!'"
The singer also opened up to Mario about being on the road and touring. "Things are amazing, fans have been so passionate and loud." His favorite thing is seeing all his fans. "Unless you're on an official tour, you don't get to connect with fans."
Lambert dished on that Glamberts can expect "a lot of hootin' and hollering, a lot of screaming, a lot of hits that you've heard before on the radio, songs you might not know as well — we're doing a few covers." One of those covers is a tribute to David Bowie. "I've been doing a David Bowie song in honor of the late great; I've been doing 'Let's Dance.'"
On the topic of covering Queen, with whom he has toured and collaborated, Adam said, "I was really nervous… But I gotta say Brian [May] and Roger [Taylor] welcomed me with open arms."

The Uganda Women's Effort to Save Orphans (UWESO) in partnership with the National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) are to set up a model farm.
The farm will be set up at Masulita Children's Village, in Masulita town council in Wakiso district.
According to the NAADS Executive Director, Dr. Sam Mugasi, they want to use the farm to help residents of the area to learn better methods of farming and to feed the orphans at the children's village.
"We are going to fence off this land to make sure that everything is protected. We have been trying to provide several things but we realised the plantations are destroyed by the stray animals in the area," he said.
Mugasi revealed this during the UWESO General Assembly at the children's village in Masulita. The children's village is an initiative of UWESO used to support orphans and vulnerable children (OVC).
At the event, NAADS handed over six heifers to children's village. "We want to provide improved banana suckers, cassava and maize among others to help in increasing food production to feed the children. We are also going to rehabilitate the institution's maize mill," he said.
During the assembly, members elected a new executive and members. Mable Kiggundu was replaced by Rose Tumusiime as the new UWESO Chairperson, deputized by Betty Nesihwe.
Others on the executive are Noami Watiti (secretary), Dominic Baru (Treasure) and Christine Ndungu as the publicity secretary.
Members include; Sarah Maseta, Lydia Twine, Hellen Ogwang, Majorine Tironde and Veneranda Biryabarema.
Kiggundu (outgoing chairperson) said UWESO has improved many children's lives countrywide.
She thanked he First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports Mrs. Janet Kataaha Museveni for her vision to support OVC since 1986 when she initiated the idea after the war.
They also launched a new UWESO program to support refugee children and women.
The two year project; "Advancing Rights and Opportunities for Vulnerable Children" (AROC) will start in Mbarara and Isingiro targeting 4,500 children and 22,500 women refugee households and host communities through accessing education and strengthening of community local governance structures to respond appropriately to challenges facing the OVC.
The project worth $1m (about sh3.7bn) is funded by United Arab Emirates in partnership with the UWESO and would run for two years ending in December 2019.
While launching the project, Mrs Museveni who is also the founder and patron of UWESO hailed the project, stressing that there is still a lot of need to support refugees in Uganda.
The Child Protection Manager, Edrisa Wambewo, 5,940 children are getting direct support in education and child protection with 240 (vocational skills), 100 (secondary schools) and 5600 (primary schools) while more than 250,000 children are supported indirectly through livelihood programs at household level through Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLA) and business skills trainings.

Exmouth – town and estuary
PUBLISHED: 07:00 13 April 2019 | UPDATED: 09:54 24 April 2019
A look at Devon property with Nigel Bishop, of Recoco
Few towns in England can boast a long sandy beach, vibrant town with restaurants, theatre, national retail shops mixed with flourishing independent traders and national rail connections.
Like many towns, the steam train of late Victorian times brought the coast within reach of many, so the traditional seaside holiday evolved.
The need for larger houses for family and commercial use underpinned the local economy.
At the mouth of the Exe Estuary, with views across to Dawlish Warren, Powderham Castle, and Dartmoor in the distance, Exmouth is alive with culture and commercial opportunities. The local train from Exeter relieves the need for a car to travel both within the county and nationally.
A safe beach, water sports and sailing are prolific but if a stroll along the promenade is preferred, there are plenty of cafes along the way for refreshment.
Such a mix allows for a diverse property sector -from the stunning apartments on the Quayside to the large family houses in The Avenues.
Many of the latter are being restored to their former glory -with modern technology features for 21st century living.
The draw to the sea but with accessibility proves Exmouth to be the perfect place for growing families needing larger homes. The highly rated secondary school is one of the largest in the county. What better than after a day a school is an hour on the beach - a barb que for tea maybe?
Treloyan, in Douglas Avenue, is a great six-bedroom family house standing in 0.7-acre gardens backing on to the Maer Valley, with distant sea views. Sitting on the edge of the town adjoining open countryside there is the feeling of rural living with the benefit of all the amenities Exmouth offers. W2 Estates are the selling agent (01395 271800).
Whitton and Laing (01395 267777) are selling 39A Cranford Avenue. Unusually for The Avenues, this is a modern family house. As is expected today, there is a large open plan kitchen/dining room leading to the sitting room with bi-fold doors to the garden. A study provides a quiet area. Four bedrooms, one en-suite, on the first floor and a master bedroom suite on the top floor provide spacious accommodation.
So, if the dream is life at a slower pace but still connected to the commercial world, Exmouth is worth a look. Home is where you make it - 'it's all about coming home'.
