We had one more bit of exploring before we leave the tip of the peninsula; Port Charles & Stony Bay. Both of these along with Sandy Bay are located on the eastern side of the tip and to get to them we crossed over the range just north of Colville and then turned left at the only intersection for miles, turning right would have taken us back past Waikawau Bay and on to Kennedy Bay which then loops back to Coromandel township. We were going to do this road if we had of stayed at Waikawau before heading south but we've heard it's very corrugated & extremely winding towards the end & as we're not stopping at Waikawau, it now makes sense to head back to Coromandel township the way we came up, on the western side.
|Part of a "Shoe Fence" at the beginning of the climb over to Port Charles
Port Charles is the first of only two settlement we come across, population 150, it's located on the edge of a large enclosed deep harbour & it would seem fishing is the main activity here. There is also a large mussel farm at the entrance.
The road, which is not council maintained- got narrower & no less winding from Port Charles. A along the way there were tantalising glimpses of the rugged coastline. Finally we dropped down into Stony Bay & the end of the road.
A gate opened into the DOC campground and the other end of the Coromandel Walkway which we had half completed the other day from the other end- (read about it here)
Stony Bay, as the name implies is a beach of pebbles & boulders, very beautiful & surrounded with magnificent pohutukawas festooned with huge astelia epiphytes.

Stony Bay, as the name implies is a beach of pebbles & boulders, very beautiful & surrounded with magnificent pohutukawas festooned with huge astelia epiphytes.
We had brought our tramping gear but hadn't quite decided whether we'd do the walk or not but once we got there and saw that the track disappeared up the side of the hill & into the bush, a totally different scene than the other end, we decided we'd do it now that we were here. We'd walk to the lookout which was one steep climb away from Poley Bay, where we'd ended up coming in from the other side. We could now say we had walked the 7km track apart from that small section. In fact we've walked nearly double the distance considering we had to retrace our steps twice.
|One of the large pohutukawa that line Stony Bay
It was overcast & rather grey but there were signs that the sun was going to break through, either way; rain or hot, it didn't matter as we were under the bush canopy most of the way. It certainly was beautiful, the path was lined with brilliant green ferns, pongas, mamakus and dozens of nikau palm. Some areas were certainly very tropical looking especially when the track crossed one of the numerous waterfalls. The path ran around the steep slopes that fell from the range above down to the rocky coast below, it weaved in and out of the valleys between each vertical ridge and & each turn back out to the ridge edge there was a waterfall. Although with no significant rain for months the falls were more of a trickle. It would be very magical after heavy rain & a little more difficult to cross I would think.
For quite a distance the track also passed through a manuka (tea tree) forest which was the highlight for me. It's the first time I've seen such tall manuka, it's usually shorter scrub but these were very tall and under the canopy were masses of relatively straight narrow trunks & branches. On the ground grew bright green ferns which contrasted against the brown of the trunks. Looking down the steep slopes at the mass of branches gave me a touch of vertigo. I did some of my camera tricks too J
Throughout the bush and in fact all along the roadside are bright marker pointers written in various codes. These mark areas where there are pest traps or bait stations set. As most of this area is conservation land & many kiwi reside & have been released here, DOC obviously have an intensive pest eradication programme running.
|That's NZ Mistletoe on the trunk
Two hours, 4.8kms and many tantalising views of the coastline & secluded bays later we finally reached the fork that led to the look out.
|Centre photo- Mt Moehau
After a steep scramble up a slippery clay track we were greeted with fabulous views up & down the coast and out to Great Barrier Island. And there not very far away were the Pinnacles which were the prominent point of interest when we came in from the other end.
|Port Charles harbour entrance is back centre
|The track winds it's way back & forward over these ridges. Stony Bay is around the last point over by the green patches
We ate our lunch perched precariously on the side of the cliff. David also rescued a small stick insect that was being harassed by a wasp and then we were off again back to Stony Bay.
It was a quicker trip back, our legs were starting to tire & by the time we reached the ute we were totally exhausted, we'd done nearly 10kms & shaved an hour of the return leg. I know this because David has an app on his phone called "My Track", which keeps all the data. I have a few photos of him standing on various tracks looking at his cellphone. I kept thinking what's he doing checking his phone so often. I'm thinking he's looking for that elusive cell phone reception but he's not, he's checking the data. That is so typically my husband, I said he was a train-spotter ;)
We stopped in Sandy Bay just before the hill over to Port Charles for a well deserved coffee before heading home back over that winding road again. And with that we have done the northern tip of the Coromandel. We've got quite attached to this area & will be sad to leave.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Latest on the probe into contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia (all times local):
7:20 p.m. Steve Bannon, former chief strategist to President Donald Trump, is scheduled to be interviewed Wednesday by a House panel investigating Russian election interference and any ties to the president's campaign. That's according to Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. The interview will be behind closed doors. Bannon was interviewed by the committee earlier this month but refused to answer questions about his time in the Trump administration at the direction of the White House counsel's office. Bannon served on Trump's campaign and was the chief strategist in the White House until he left in August.
6:25 p.m. Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee have voted to release a classified memo they wrote that alleges that the FBI and the Justice Department improperly used government surveillance during the investigation into Russian election interference and contacts with President Donald Trump's campaign. That's according to Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the ranking Democrat on the committee. Schiff says Democrats on the committee voted against releasing the memo. The vote to release the memo comes after committee Republicans, led by chairman Rep. Devin Nunes, a California Republican, pushed for its disclosure. The memo addresses a dossier of allegations against Trump compiled by a former British spy, and questions over whether it was used to obtain surveillance warrants.
2:25 p.m. The White House says President Donald Trump has not decided whether he'd authorize the release of a classified House Intelligence Committee memo, but says he favors "full transparency." The House may vote as soon as Monday to release the memo that Republicans say alleges FBI misconduct. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Monday that "no one" at the White House has seen the memo, so the president was not prepared to make a decision. A number of conservatives favor releasing the memo, which they believe could discredit the findings of the investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russian officials. White House aides have previously said Trump favored releasing the document, which is in contrast to the stance of the Justice Department. ___ 2:30 a.m. Two Republican senators say President Donald Trump would be wise to keep a public silence on an independent investigation into his 2016 campaign's contacts with Russia. That's in the wake of news reports that he sought to fire the special counsel. The senators, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Susan Collins of Maine, also urged special counsel Robert Mueller Sunday to review whether Trump tried to fire him last June, an accusation the president has labeled "fake news." Graham, co-sponsor of legislation that would protect Mueller from being fired without a legal basis, said he would be "glad to pass it tomorrow." But he insisted that Mueller's job appeared to be in no immediate danger, pointing to the political costs if Trump did remove him.

One of our favorite places to take DiploTot during our time here in Guatemala City has been the Monki Haus located in Plaza Cemaco. It is close by the house and she always has a great time. Less then five bucks provides great entertainment and time for us to enjoy a cappuccino and take shifts to get any other shopping taken care of.
Many times it is very quiet and she has the entire place to herself. The last weekend before pack out we took a sanity check to run up for a final visit and to grab some lunch. This will be one of the places where we have a lot of memories of watching DiploTot grow up.
Besides Monki Haus, there is Cemaco, which is similar to a Target and also includes an Ace Hardware section.
There is also a big toy store which puts out their big, plastic play sets at the opposite end from the store, which also provides a nice spot for some freebie play time.

How to Choose the Syringe Filter to Home-brew Steroids Powders
FAQ for choosing the syringe filter to steroids powders home-brewing:
1) Is it necessary to have a .22 um to have a sterile solution or the .45 gives acceptable results concerning the dangers of bacteria ? I would point out that I heat the solution at 100°C before for most type of steroid.
Necessary.. Hmmm.. No, not really. We used to use a .45 all the time with finaplix conversions. A .22 is a smaller micron filter and will filter more minute particles and is required by National pharmacopoeia (not sure if the international is the same) in the filtration methods to depyrogenate injectable medicines
2) Which membrane are the best for a steroid based solution ? PVDF, Nylon, PES? Whant about PTFE and other membranes such as glass fiber ?
now here is where you will find many differences of opinions. – .22 micron PVDF Millipore filters – Many guys have also moved away from syringe filters to cup/vacuum type filter systems.
3) Why my filtration is soooo slow ? Because of the .22 um instead of .45 um ? or the use of other type of membrane ? or the non-Whatman filter are poor quality ?
The filtering is always going to be slower in a .22 filter than a .45, It's a smaller membrane your filtering through. As for the clogging
4) Did you experience many differences between whatman filter and other cheaper filters ?
if you buy knock off type filters, then your going to get what you pay for.. I wouldn't trust them..Have you seen what an abcess can do?? Trust the tried and true names. Whatman isn't just the only one.
5) what is the quickest membrane ?
You should not be looking for the quickest, but the best for what your filtering.
6) What about the quality of filtration of the vacuum filtration all in one unity. I used PES membrane. At first it was good, but I let it overnight with vacuum and the next day I could see some part of the membrane has been dissolved in the solution. I threw all the product. Poor quality. Maybe you know better membrane for sterile unity because it needs less work.
Many people have moved on to the vacuum filtering with great success. As for your melting. That comes from what your using as a carrier and chemicals used in your process. EO will melt rubber and also some membranes in the filters. EO came from one day we looked at the carrier in Virormone test prop and noticed that was the carrier and most people that have used this test prop have always loved it. So we thought why not use it in other conversions. It was then we also found that it will melt most common septums (the rubber piece in the top of the multi-use vial) used in the bottling process. Which is why you will only see the virormone testosterone in an amp form. Not in a multi-use vial.
It's also why I don't use it any longer.

We are journeying from the tourist haven of Luang Prabang, Laos, full of western comforts to the less traveled Phonsavan, which we collectively find roughly equivalent to a dusty Texas thoroughfare minus the tumbleweeds. Here is base-camp for the 'Plain of Jars', much like Stonehenge, a site shrouded in mystery. The much bigger adventure, however, turns out to be the journey to Phonsavan–as if Michele, Caleb, Sabrina and I are part of the 'Scooby Squad' and our bus the 'Mystery Machine.'
The first mystery bestowed upon us should be simple to answer, but in Laos time distance calculations are difficult. After interviewing a few primary sources, we learn the estimated travel time to Phonsavan could be anything from 6 to 10 hours. We believe that the ten-hour estimates take into account old data based on unpaved, winding mountain roads. Supposedly the stretch is smoother now, so our hope is six or seven.
Initially, all is going well as the bus consistently rumbles along nicely paved roads. Then, despite being rather early, the bus stops and our guesswork begins. Is this a lunch break, bathroom/snack break? This is not a new scenario, but throws us every time. If it's lunch I hope I order the right thing…in some places the noodle soup doesn't arrive until the bus driver is finished and honking the horn ready to go! This stop, however, must be a bathroom/snack break we reason, as the bus engine is still running and its only 11a.m. At 11:10 a.m we realize our thinking is wrong, and now its too late to order the noodle soup we now crave. Caleb and I find solace in a few banana fritter Scooby snacks, Sabrina some bread and lucky Michele, still has a big sandwich waiting for her on the bus. No problem we figure, we'll stop again.
Stop again we do. But why so soon? It's not uncommon to stop along the road and wade into the bushes for some privacy, but we don't usually stop so suddenly and on a hill. Someone does indeed dash off the bus, but as we find out later, he went back to look for a lost screw to the gear-shaft! After some tinkering by the bus driver and his young assistant, a sixty something, camera happy German man decides he is the solution to our problem. The Laotions, in their non-confrontational approach, kindly endure his somewhat bossy intrusion, and in the end, an hour after we stop, a little of that famous German ingenuity comes through, creating a lever with enough tork to refit a new screw, found amongst the buses supplies.
Back on the road with only a couple of banana fritters in my stomach, I begin to read. After an hour or so of gazing out the window at the rugged and densely forested landscape and observing both sexes digging ditches beside the road in preparation for the coming rainy season, I hear a few Scooby style 'YOIKS' just before a big BANG! We rear end an oil tanker-truck which has stopped to let a bigger truck pass. Nobody is injured but everyone disembarks without hesitation to assess the damage. Given our mystery machine was in rough shape from the beginning, I sure can't tell if the window pane has more cracks in it than before. It is certainly drivable. So why are we all getting situated alongside the road? What are we waiting for?
After much guess-work and good hour and a half, the Scooby squad finds itself contented when a couple young, well-groomed police officers arrive in tandem on their shiny motorcycle to oversea what becomes a mini-court session minus a gavel. After hearing the cases and a very short deliberation, the police officers rule and our bus driver appears to be victorious. I'm sure his success is on account of his wife, who seemed to act as his persuasive lawyer. I can only speculate that the envelope in his hand contains a certain amount of Kip (Lao currency), perhaps for a new windscreen?
Excited to finally get moving, everyone streams back on the bus – but not for long. It's only a matter of minutes before we are forced to stop again. This time a large tractor is spanning the length of the road and it seems to be pulling something out of the steep and well vegetated ravine. A few minutes later we are granted enough space to pass, but out of curiosity, the bus driver pulls over and disembarks with all the passengers (including the squad) to observe the happenings. The banged up pick-up truck that emerges at the end of the rope has surely seen better days. Nobody seems particularly phased by the event though the few men in charge of the operation, and possibly the truck owner/passengers raise their hands proudly in victory. Then, we continue on our way.
Evening sets in and we are still a distance from our destination and food. We see light on the horizon, like city lights, but this doesn't make much sense in Northeastern Laos…cities are not big and electricity is small-scale. As we get closer, we see billowing flames on hills and through a valley. This is not one of the many little brush fires frequently witnessed in the countryside. This is slash and burn agriculture out of control. We feel the heat penetrate the paper-thin metal that encases the bus as the fire encroaches the roadside ditch. Considering our track record thus far, Shaggy and the crew are all quite shocked that the bus makes it through unscathed!
Finally, after a total of 12 hours and little food since 11 am, the mystery machine rolls into Phonsavan and only one mystery remains. Why was a plain clothed young man, sporting a rifle on his shoulder, sitting on the back of the bus for the entire 12 hours? This we may never know. Though, at least he was a kind-hearted rifle-man! When he was not dozing off, he would help the ladies remove their bulky luggage from the rear of the bus. Naturally, moving luggage and a toting a rifle do not mix, so it was nice of him to leave his rifle on his reclining seat and cover what he could with his sporty jean jacket.
Three days later we find ourselves back on a bus, heading 8 hours further east. No mysteries on this journey. After the bus attendant kindly handed out plastic bags to everyone – it turned out to be another very curvy trip – we even discovered what some of the locals had for breakfast!

Fallout continues from the recent long-range driver contracts signed by Kurt Busch and Jamie McMurray. Busch intends to leave Roush Racing for Penske, while McMurray plans to move from the Ganassi stable to Roush. However, both must complete their existing contracts for 2006 before they switch camps in 2007, according to their current team owners.
While Chip Ganassi has already cemented his plans for McMurray next season, Jack Roush seems to have relented somewhat from his original position. He now says he will review the matter with sponsors and business partners and give Busch a final answer in the next few weeks.
Team owner Richard Childress and driver Jeff Gordon have voiced their disapproval for such deals, Childress faulting the team owners and Gordon the drivers. NASCAR president Mike Helton says he is not pleased with current developments, but the sanctioning body has no plans to introduce "no tamper" regulations as employed in other professional sports.

And all that's left is smoking ruins.
Devastated by the demolition of their last hope, Ember and Chase follow the only thing left to them—tracks leading away from the wreckage. The only sign that there may have been survivors.
With their high profile, they know they can't stay out in the open for long. They take shelter in the wilderness and amidst the ruins of abandoned cities as they follow the tracks down the coast, eventually finding refugees from the destroyed safe house. Among them is someone from Chase's past—someone he never thought he'd see again.
Banding together, they search for a place to hide, aiming for a settlement a few of them have heard about…a settlement that is rumored to house the nebulous organization known as Three. The very group that has provided Ember with a tiny ray of hope ever since she was first forced on the run.
Three is responsible for the huge network of underground safe houses and resistance groups across the country. And they may offer Ember her only chance at telling the world her story.
At fighting back.

Danny Clifford provides practical guidance on ensuring that advisers have all the information they need when dealing with a ten year charge
What is the issue?
The ten year charge exercise often results in a relatively straightforward calculation, but the onus is on the adviser to ensure that all relevant factors have been taken into account.
What does it mean to me?
Understanding some of the nuances of the ten year charge calculation is necessary in order to ensure that the right questions are asked of the client and trustees, and the relevant information is obtained.
What can I take away?
Do not assume. Ask all pertinent questions and keep a permanent record of all of the responses.
Is there something I should know?
The calculation of the ten year anniversary Principal Charge is something of a bête noire for many of us who deal with such charges only a few times each year.
It seems to be the case that often the information gathering, rather than the calculation itself, is the part that takes up the most time. The problem is that unless I already have all of the relevant details about the trust and the settlor on my files I will have to ask the client (or possibly their previous advisers) for what can potentially be a substantial amount of information in order to proceed. Drafting a request for such information can feel odd as I am often typing out questions the answers to which I'm almost certain I can correctly guess. This is because the well-advised client will probably have followed a distinct course of action in setting up and running their trust.
Let us suppose that the client established a relevant property trust and settled property into it on 19 September 2006. I have chosen a date where, hopefully, all trust advisers were 'on the ball' as far as the issues surrounding relevant property trusts were concerned, and which makes the first ten year charge (19 September 2016) of immediate relevance. This is a client for whom I have not previously acted and who has sought my assistance because they understand there may be a ten year IHT charge due in respect of their trust. What information am I looking to obtain from the client in order to progress the calculation?
My own way
I find it helps to consider the mechanics of the charge in three parts, being:
- Calculation of the value of the relevant property within the settlement.
- Calculation of the rate of tax.
- Application of the rate of the tax to the property and establishing the tax due.
Turning first to the calculation of the value of relevant property. The ten year charge date is 19 September 2016 so I will therefore need a valuation of all of the relevant property within the trust on the day before the ten-year anniversary date, i.e. 18 September. Some values may be straightforward to acquire (e.g. bank account balances and portfolios of quoted securities run by an investment manager) but the valuation of other assets such as land, buildings and unquoted shares can certainly be somewhat more involved. Further, before I can start to obtain valuations I need to establish exactly what it is that I need valued – what is the relevant property within the settlement? Identification of what is relevant property is not always as straightforward as one might hope. A thorough review of the trust deeds may be necessary to determine whether any of the property in the trust is held on such terms that it has never become relevant property, because such property is no longer taken into account when calculating the rate of charge. Additionally, if there is undistributed income within the trust I will need to know when this has arisen. For any ten year charge arising after 5 April 2014 the treatment of such balances is prescribed – that which arose more than five years before the ten year charge date will be subject to the charge as if it had been comprised within the settlement for the full ten years, and that which arose within the last five years of the period will not. Hopefully annual accounts will be available to enable identification of which applies. As a planning point, had there been undistributed income that did arise within the first five years, it would have been possible for the trustees to consider, prior to the ten year anniversary, formally accumulating that income. Had they done so it should only be treated as capital from the date it became accumulated.
Careless memories
Calculating the rate of tax is then going to require some 'historic investigation'.
First, are there any related settlements? There are traps here! The answer cannot be established merely by looking at what currently exists. Related settlements are settlements, other than charitable settlements, created by the same settlor on the same day (in this case 19 September 2006). Asking the client whether he has any other existing settlements does not necessarily get you the right answer however, since the initial value of a related settlement needs to be included within this calculation even if that settlement itself has since ceased to exist. One might be tempted to assume that there will not be any related settlements because the well advised settlor would have been directed to avoid creating multiple settlements on the same day. However that is to ignore the collateral damage caused by the provisions of Finance Act 2006. Prior to this it would not have been a problem to establish, for example, both an A&M settlement and a life interest settlement on the same day. Both were potentially exempt transfers and neither had the spectre of IHT charges hanging over them. Following FA2006 it became quite possible that the A&M Settlement (in particular) had an IHT ten year charge exposure and thus the life interest trust established on the same day would be a 'related settlement'. Changes made by Finance (No 2) Act 2015 mean that, at least in the case of 18-25 trusts, only other 18-25 trusts settled on the same day are related settlements – a useful simplification.
However, what is given with one hand is taken with the other and that same Finance Act also introduced legislation that means that, from 10 December 2014, any same day additions into two or more existing settlements have the result of bringing not only the value of those additions, but also the initial value of each settlement into the ten year charge calculation of the other.
Unfortunately we can only advise clients on the basis of the legislation as it stands at that time so subsequent changes to the rules mean that even the well advised can be 'caught out'.
Moving on, the next stage is to establish:
- The chargeable transfers (whether into trusts or not) made by the settlor in the seven years prior to settling the trust and
- Any distributions of relevant property from the trust during the last ten years (whether or not subject to an exit charge).
Hopefully accounts covering the full period together with all of the trust deeds will be available to check for relevant property appointments out of the settlement within the last ten years. As to the settlor's seven year chargeable transfers – with luck, the settlor or his previous adviser has this information to hand. The period under consideration stretches back at least 17 years! Although most relevant property trusts are established to utilise the nil rate band and generally that is on the basis that there were no prior chargeable transfers eating into that band. The position needs to be properly checked and established.
Save a prayer
At this point you might breathe a sigh of relief. At least this element is constant.
There is another catch here however. It is tempting to follow the golden rule that, once established, that seven year cumulative total will never change as it is a historic figure – but the figure can be 'replaced' with a higher figure if the settlor has added property to the settlement subsequently, and his seven year cumulative total prior to that addition is higher. It is, therefore, not enough to ask for the cumulative total for the seven years prior to 19 September 2006; we must also check the accounts and returns to see if there have been any subsequent additions of property. Again, this makes the point that even the most straightforward elements cannot always be taken at face value.
Having acquired all of the information necessary to establish the rate of tax and the amount of relevant property we are on the home straight. However, it is not always merely a matter of applying one to the other.
If assets that are relevant property have not been relevant property throughout the previous ten years (and this will include income that has been accumulated, if any) there is an adjustment such that the tax is reduced for the period that it was not relevant property. This is done on the basis of the number of complete quarters that the property was not relevant property. It does mean, however, that merely identifying what is and is not relevant property at the ten year charge date is not sufficient; we also need to note at which point that property became relevant property.
There are certain types of trust where one is automatically 'on the alert' for this point – for example old-style A&M Trusts or 18-25 trusts, where by their very nature there is a probability that such a restriction will apply. However the possibility that property has changed character within other settlements should not be dismissed out of hand.
The amount and nature of the information required to correctly calculate the ten year charge should not be underestimated. The foregoing gives pointers but necessarily glosses over more detailed aspects, such as the fact that pre-27 March 1974 settlements have a different ten year charge calculation, as space does not allow for every variation or exemption to be explained.
Where the client is new to you and you are working from scratch you will need to be considering all of the above at the outset.
Where you deal with a trust from its inception it would be wise to keep a single 'permanent list' of all of the information in relation to that settlement that will be required when the time comes to consider the ten year charge (or indeed any exit charge). Not having to back track to identify those transactions will save a considerable amount of time (and cost) at the ten year anniversary.
That said, as mentioned earlier, even the best laid plans can go awry when politicians get involved. Following FA 2006, many trusts where, at the time of creation, one would not have envisaged any future relevant property issues became caught up in this IHT regime. As a result, information will be required to complete the ten year charge calculation in respect of such settlements that nobody had any cause to keep a record of at the time – the creation of the trust originally having been a potentially exempt transfer. Obtaining that historic information can be even more of a challenge.
Unfortunately it is often a case of having to undertake the investigative work just to satisfy yourself that, in fact, none of the complexities apply – e.g. there were no chargeable transfers in the seven years prior to the settlement, there were no related settlements, there has been no addition of property, there were no capital distributions, none of the property has become relevant property over the last ten years etc. On most occasions, none of these are factors and the calculations wind up being at the more straightforward end of the scale. However it involves time (and cost!) to confirm that is the case, which can be all the more galling when the charge itself ends up being insignificant.
The final problem is then of course trying to explain to the client why the chargeable costs exceed the tax itself!

Choosing the right hiking boots or hiking shoes is one of the most important parts of setting off on a grand hiking adventure. Having a shoe with the proper function, fit and features will vastly improve your experience while trekking through tough terrain.
What are the qualities you need in this boot or shoe?
Ask yourself the following questions:
- What type of terrain will I be traveling through, and what kind of weather might I encounter? Rocky? Wet? Variable?
- What type of load will I be carrying most of the time? Are you going on day adventures with a light backpack, or will you be carrying a 45-pound load? Do you need something that can handle a bit of everything?
- What are my physical needs in footwear? Are you prone to rolling your ankles? Are you more comfortable in a heavier but sturdier shoe? Do you need a shoe that breathes well because your feet perspire a lot?
Choose a Boot that Matches Your Adventure
Once you answer these questions, the vast selection of boot and shoe choices online or in store might still feel overwhelming. That's OK. Just remember, outdoor footwear can be broken down into four categories. In the order of most supportive to least supportive, those categories are as follows:
- Mountaineering boots
- Backpacking boots
- Hiking shoes
- Trail runners
Mountaineering boots: These heavy-duty hiking boots are designed for extended hiking and trekking on everything from well-groomed trails in good weather to completely off-trail conditions in more extreme weather. Mountaineering boots are stiff, heavy, well insulated, waterproof and crampon compatible. They are used to navigate glaciers, climb ice or ascend snowy peaks.
Backpacking boots: These are known for being durable and providing solid support on a wide range of trail conditions. Backpacking boots are the best option for those handling a multitude of different terrains, from day trips to multiday excursions—particularly when carrying loaded packs. These boots tend to be waterproof, but this comes at the cost of compromised breathability. When you think of a high-cut hiking boot, this is the boot you're thinking of.
Hiking shoes: For the avid recreational hiker, hiking shoes offer good support and greater comfort on shorter trips and treks. While they don't offer the same level of support as backpacking or mountaineering boots, they're usually lighter. A slight compromise to durability allows you to be more agile over variable terrain. They also tend to breathe better, which makes them a great option for warmer weather hiking, but they can come in waterproof varieties as well.
Trail running shoes: For the fast-moving traveler, trail runners offer unparalleled weight savings, breathability and comfort—but at a huge compromise to support. These shoes are typically best suited for travelers who are very experienced in the outdoors and who understand the limitations of the footwear well.
Note that some styles also have low-, mid-, and high-cut options. Here's what you need to know:
Low-cut: This style usually only goes as high as your ankle, which means lighter weight and more breathability. It also means less ankle support and protection from puddles and trail debris, such as rocks, sticks, thorns and more. This cut is better for more recreational hikers who stick to maintained trails.
Mid-cut and high-cut: Hiking boots with higher cuts offer increased protection and support. This also means heavier boots that will typically be warmer and less breathable. These cuts are more suitable for a wider variety of terrain.
Finding the Proper Fit
Once you've considered these questions, the best advice is to stop by a local specialty retailer to try on several pairs of boots and shoes that might suit your needs. If you find better deals online, see if the store will price match, but whatever you do, don't compromise on fit—even if it means spending a few extra dollars.

The Scottish National Gallery project will create brand new, light-filled spaces for the Gallery's unrivalled collection of Scottish art, raising its profile for visitors from all over the world.
We remain open whilst we do these works and very much hope that you enjoy your visit. However, there will be some changes due to the construction work…
Room closures
A small number of rooms will be closed to the public whilst the project is underway. Both the Lower Level (where Scottish art was displayed in the past) and room 1 (where, until recently, early Renaissance art was displayed) of the Scottish National Gallery are already closed to the public. Until completion of the project, key Scottish paintings will be displayed in rooms 10-13 and room 17, whilst key early Renaissance artworks will be displayed in room 2.
Also, until the completion of the project, rooms 8, 15 and 16 of the Gallery will be closed. During this time, key Dutch and Flemish paintings from room 8 will be re-hung in room 9, whilst key 18th/19th-century paintings from rooms 15-16 will be re-hung elsewhere in the Gallery.
Our gallery floor plan contains more information about room closures.
Gallery floor plans
Our floor plans contain details of entrances, facilities and room closures during the project.
The Scottish Cafe & Restaurant is open and accessible via the Gardens Entrance. You can also find a new counter service café, Espresso, in the Mound entrance foyer of the Scottish National Gallery (on the ground level, off the precinct).
The new-look Gallery Shop has now opened at the Scottish National Gallery and is accessible via the Gardens Entrance. The new space showcases National Galleries of Scotland publications, Scottish makers and our exclusive products inspired by the collection.
You can also find a souvenir shop in room 5 on the ground level of the Gallery and a shop near the front of the Royal Scottish Academy.
The toilets and information desk are located on the Gardens Level, and accessible via the Gardens Entrance or through the back entrance of the Royal Scottish Academy.
The information desk is located by the Hawthornden Lecture Theatre, and is where you can buy tickets for events and exhibitions.
The toilets located on the ground floor of the Scottish National Gallery, and all toilets in the Royal Scottish Academy, will also remain open throughout the project. There are accessible toilets in the Scottish National Gallery, the Royal Scottish Academy and on the Gardens Level.
The disabled parking bays are currently not in use.
The Gardens Entrance to the Scottish National Gallery is now open. This leads to the Gallery Shop, The Scottish Cafe & Restaurant, the toilets, lockers and information desk, and Royal Scottish Academy.
The Scottish National Gallery is accessed via the Mound entrance, or if coming from the Gardens Entrance, through the Royal Scottish Academy by the lift or stairs.
Work is currently taking place to install a new lift at the south end of the Gallery, meaning there will be no disabled access to rooms 14, 17 and 18, where we show 18th, 19th and early 20th Century Art, including Scottish Art, Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, until the completion of the project.
We apologise for any inconvenience the above changes may cause and thank you for your understanding.
Please check this page frequently for further updates.

Now this may be the single most important part of collecting comic books. The proper storage of books, art work and statues. Here, we will concentrate on comic books. But these could also be applied to any collectable.
First, if your books are not slabbed by one of the grading companies, then always have your books bagged and boarded. This will help protect against water damage, finger prints, and other objects from touching them. Boards are used to keep the spine damage way down. This is a must. Bag and board everything. They have bags and boards in all sizes for comics and magazines.
Just ask an employee at your local comic shop for the correct size. Then store your comics in an upright position, preferably in a comic storage box. These boxes also come in different sizes and some are even built to slide out. They also come in different widths to hold magazines and magazine style comics.
Temperature and Humidity:
Next, 50-65 degrees is the optimum temperature for storage. Stay consistent though as fluctuating temperatures can be harmful. Temperatures that are too cold can also damage books and cause paper to dry out. Relative humidity is just as important. It should be kept from 50% to +/- 10% to be optimum. Again, too low RH can be as harmful as too high. Dehumidifiers can be used to help regulate humidity. Having a gauge to track temperatures and humidity can be helpful. I use the AcuRite 00613. It is awesome and inexpensive.
You should store your books in a dark environment. Incandescent lighting is best. If you have windows, put shades over them. Always minimize direct sunlight. Remember, fluorescent bulbs can damage paintings and textiles. UV light can also cause strong colors to begin fading. Avoid storing your books near windows or doors.
Never store your books below any water lines. A leak can be disastrous. Do not sit your boxes directly on concrete floors. The concrete will conduct cold and wick moisture. And last, if your room is large or very full. You can use a fan to ensure the temperature stays even throughout the room. There are some other things you need to watch for, but this should get you going in the right direction. If you would like to add anything else, please use the comment section and please feel free to help others out.

Bloodspike is a PvP team build consisting of up to 8 Necromancers using Blood Magic spells such as Angorodon's Gaze and Vampiric Gaze to deal heavy damage to an enemy team in small windows of time. Unprepared opposing teams will have a difficult time defending against this. To compensate for the lack of dedicated healing roles, each Necromancer brings a different defensive elite, along with skills of the same attribute. For example, one Necromancer might bring Word of Healing, a second would bring Restore Condition, while a third brings Divert Hexes.
This team build was mainly used prior to the April 5th, 2007 update (and later the November 13th, 2007 update) which changed Soul Reaping's functionality. Before the first update, Necromancers gained energy from any spirit's death via Soul Reaping, allowing bloodspike teams to use their energy-expensive skills with little drawback. A bloodspike team typically included a Ritualist that would constantly create new spirits to trigger Soul Reaping's effect with. After this update, Soul Reaping no longer triggered energy gain for the death of spirits. The lack of energy return makes current teams utilizing the bloodspike tactic much less efficient.
Core build[edit]
- Metagame variant
|Blood Magic:
Soul Reaping:
Deadly Arts:
- Historical variant
|Blood Magic:
Soul Reaping:
Deadly Arts:
- Life stealing skills are fairly effective because traditional anti-spike skills, such as Protective Spirit and Spirit Bond, don't protect against it.
- Low recharges on skills enable the spike to be repeated, should it fail or only partly succeed the first time.
- Even with the Life-stealing healing benefit, Necromancers have a low armor and very few healing capabilities without a dedicated healer/proter, meaning that the team is vulnerable to counter-spikes and high damage in general.
- Most players applying this tactic use the exact same builds and almost exclusively spammable Blood Magic skills; skills such as Complicate, Power Block and the Flux Xinrae's Revenge will certainly cripple a bloodspike team.
- Without deaths during battle, the lack of energy return via Soul Reaping will require efficient energy management.
- Most bloodspike skills have a short effective range, or even touch range, which will result in several Necromancers bunched up around a target. This leaves them vulnerable to any area of effect skills opponents may use.

Hey guys! Sorry it has been a while since I've written or posted anything, which will be fully explained in the next blog post I do. Today I wanted to talk about the latest fun reading I did for myself. It has been a long time since I've read for fun, especially since college requires me to read many books/short stories/poems/articles & essays for classes- which I really enjoy. Reading really gives some power to the mind. I feel invigorated every time I read.
I know reading is not for everyone, but I am a avid promoter to reading for fun. Everyone should do it, even if it's a magazine or comic book. All literature is literature.
The past reading I've done, for myself, is Banana Yoshimoto's Kitchen. I remember hearing about this author from one of my favorite Youtubers who loves to read just as much as I do! Since one of my favorite authors is Haruki Murakami, Banana is another fellow Japanese writer who really articulates the spirit of Japanese fiction.
Kitchen is a story about a young woman who becomes alone after all traces of family pass away. This novel explores grief, tragedy, love, and the comforts of places- even if it happens to be a Kitchen. A symbol of heart, family, togetherness, and nourishment. The whimsical telling of this story put me at ease besides the heavy subject of aloneness. I loved the way Yoshimoto takes me through every page wanting more, wanting to stay listening to Mikaga ( the protagonist) and understand her space and spirit. Mikaga doesn't do it alone, as a family of a son and mother, Yoichi and Eriko, take her in as if she had always belonged there. And although this seems like peaches and cream, just keep reading. But don't worry! This story isn't filled with only sorrow! The ending promises beauty and tenderness.
This is such a lovely story and I loved every single minute reading it. If you want a short, lucid and earnest read, please pick up Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto at your local bookstore and see for yourself that grief and aloneness is an experience that all human will experience – together.
What will the next fun read be??
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
My Year Of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh
What I Talk About When I Talk About Running: A memoir by Haruki Murakami
We'll see!

Ukraine will be taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest by the very first time. The rehearsal went ok and Oleksandr appeared to be ready for Saturday.
This morning, the Ukrainian performer, Oleksandr Porimanov, sang his song Hasta la vista on the stage of the contest. During the act Oleksandr stands on a kind of black box and a black pillow makes him – probably – disappear at the end of the performance. He was on stage with 5 girls (two backing vocals and 3 dancers).
During the press conference it appeared that his English is not very good so he needed to be translated. He also sang his song acapella during the conference and that made the audience enhousiastic!

Hello everyone, how are you? I have spent the past 10 days in Romania, Münster and Copenhagen and today, I have two garden parties to attend. I've been working (and playing) non-stop. My family and work life though are doing good and I'm very energized because we are nearly finished with ISSUE TWO of my magazine which will be released on September 26, 2019. I can't wait to show it to you!
Today, let's travel together to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to visit Owner/ Designer of
It's funny but what really jumped out the most as I looked at these photos is that it is so American to me now! Everything looks so much different after living abroad in Europe for nearly a decade. Nicole's home really feels East Coast American (it could be PA or NY or even in New England so easily) so I had quite a wave of nostalgia wash over me as I looked at each room. Also, I finally understand what friends meant when I first moved here and they explained how American interiors look so different from European ones. I didn't see that as clearly back then but oh yes, they really, really do. It's like night and day when I see an American home now, I instantly know it's from the United States and also, where it is most likely based (at least the region). It's amazing now to see the obvious differences and also how much I unintentionally merged both worlds into my own interior style to create a life here in northern Germany which still reflects my American roots as well as my European branches.
So yes, let's look at Nicole's home but even more… I've asked her some questions that I thought would make for an interesting conversation, so sit back, scroll along and read her words to be inspired today and also to learn about some new things (like her playlist and fave Instagram accounts!). Also, you can follow HER on Instagram
Nicole, tell us… What does home mean to you?
Home is a sanctuary to me. It is a place to find comfort and to share with others. It is also a reflection of our lives, interests, and a place for creative expression.
What do you love most about your home?
I love all of the historic details, especially the stone exterior. To think that the rocks were pulled from the earth to create this structure and shelter is so fascinating to me.
What would you like to change at home?
Ha! So much. We just moved in and this is a project house for us, so lots of changes. The bathrooms will be our first big renovation, hopefully next year.
What's your favorite candle/scent?
I love anything woodsy. Local candlemaker
Favorite thing to do at home?
A play day, which usually includes planning my next home design project, playing in the garden, snacking, having a beer at noon, reading, and ending the day with a great meal.
Favorite meal to cook?
Quiche, with a great salad, made from whatever is in season at the time.
What is on your playlist?
When you have people over, how does that usually play out?
We usually end up cooking or grill outside (especially in the summer months), enjoy some good beers, conversation, and games.
Your dream piece for the home?
Right now, we're hoping to get our hands on an original Eames chair and ottoman.
How would you describe your style?
Modern mixed traditional with a dash of rustic. I'm always thinking about how to bring elements of nature into my designs.

For centuries, West Virginians have gone into the earth and mined coal as their contribution to fueling the United States' future.
In the wake of Murray Energy, the country's largest private coal company, filing bankruptcy on Tuesday, Raleigh County Memorial Airport Manager Tom Cochran is pushing southern West Virginia toward the sky and a new horizon.
Cochran has a vision of bringing aerospace jobs to Raleigh County, and he is nearing his goal as officials from government and educational sectors gather on Monday to announce a new AEROReady certification for Raleigh County Memorial Airport and the seven-county region of Raleigh, Summers, Fayette, Nicholas, Mercer, McDowell and Wyoming counties.
New River Gorge Regional Development Authority Executive Director Joe Brouse said that the designation certifies that labor, development sites, customization of labor training and infrastructure are in place to support the aerospace industry.
"There were hundreds of site criteria items analyzed, but one of the most crucial was the availability of adequate infrastructure to support the aviation industry," Brouse stated in a press release on Wednesday.
For several years, Cochran has been on a mission to develop 67 acres at the airport on Industrial Drive. The aerospace idea came about recently but quickly took wing and gained momentum.
"It's one of the best things that could've happened to us," Cochran reacted to the news on Thursday. "This is big."
The project is still in what Cochran calls the "proactive" stage. Cochran and community partners are cautiously moving forward and plan to simultaneously market the project and secure funds. The goal is to build a $7 million site-ready facility on 67 acres at the airport within the next year.
The idea came earlier this year after NRGRDA commissioned a consultant, InSite Consulting, to study potential site readiness in the New River Gorge region in West Virginia. Cochran said they looked at the acreage for development at the airport as part of the study.
"They were telling us, 'Yes, you all have sites, but they're not ready. They're nothing but dirt and trees,'" reported Cochran.
Jina Belcher, deputy director at NRGRDA, said the site assessment was eye-opening for NRGRDA.
"For years, we've assumed we knew what companies were looking for in order to locate to the region but, clearly, we had no idea what we were missing." said Belcher. "The Raleigh County Airport Industrial Park has the most attractive potential for development and we're thrilled to be working with Tom to highlight the Airport's assets and growth potential."
InSite notified NRGRDA and Cochran that their site would be turned down by potential businesses as a viable location because companies wanted a flat site with adequate utilities.
Shortly after, NRGRDA and airport officials were offered an opportunity to be party to the AEROReady study conducted by AEP and its aerospace consulting firm, Tucson & Roberts.
Cochran said the idea of aerospace jobs seemed a perfect fit for the runway-ready property at Raleigh County Airport Industrial Park, just as it fit a place like southern West Virginia, where the mining industry has taken a hit.
The Federal Aviation Administration reported in 2017 that every major airline was suffering from a shortage of trained pilots, with a 30 percent decline from 30 years ago. Meanwhile, the number of passengers increased, creating a need and an opportunity for a region which was looking for a new industry.
"This is something wide open to the world, so to speak," Cochran said. "There's major shortages of pilots, mechanics, engineers, and it's a broad, open, rich industry across our country."
Tucson & Roberts certified other airports in the surrounding area, including the Beckley and Greenbrier Valley airports, as "AEROReady."
"We're in a position where we're able to accept aerospace industry opportunities," Cochran explained.
Various sectors of the local community are drawing together to develop the acreage and to invest in the future of the region.
Cochran reported Thursday that, with approval from Gov. Jim Justice and the West Virginia Secretary of Commerce's Office, leaders of the effort aim to secure $3 million in state funds to prepare a local site that can accommodate aviation manufacturing and maintenance companies.
NRGRDA, Region One Planning and Development Council, Raleigh County Commission, the Raleigh County Memorial Airport Authority and the federal Economic Development Administration have also made commitments to help fund site development.
"We'll be marketing it to any manufacturing company that does aviation manufacturing or any component parts," Cochran said. "It can be a maintenance facility, and this site is going to be large enough that we could have part manufacturing and maintenance, also."
Workforce development is key to success. Cochran believes the same spirit that built America from the ground up is still alive in West Virginia and that it will propel the aerospace economy.
Early in 2020, NRGRDA plans to submit a request for funding through the Appalachian Regional Commission's POWER initiative that will help fund training of displaced coal miners and others to work in the aerospace industry. An eastern Kentucky school will partner with local educators to develop a training program for air frame and power plant technicians, Belcher reported.
"We're going to be training them. We're going to be partnering with NRCTC and WVU Tech to do this training project with the technicians," said Cochran, adding that the institutions will allow students to pursue a four-year degree in their field that will incorporate two years of technical training.
"They're wanting to work and be in the engineering field in aerospace," said Cochran.
The aerospace industry is a new frontier for the region's economy, and Cochran said he is eager to begin construction on the acreage. He said that with dedication, construction could start this summer and would be a powerful marketing tool to aerospace companies.
"This takes at least 10 months to get all the permits," he explained. "If we do those things through the winter, we're going to be throwing dirt next spring.
"We need to be going to aviation companies and the whole industry to market ourselves right now," he said. "We can go and show the pictures of us cutting trees and throwing the dirt I'm talking about."
Cochran has pursued development of the wild, wonderful parcel at the airport for years, working with federal, state and local lawmakers to get the site ready for businesses.
"It's the idea of being proactive, of what we're trying to accomplish to develop this airport."
Brouse reported that NRGRDA, AEP, Cochran, Mercer County Economic Development Authority, McDowell County Economic Development Authority, and Wyoming County Economic Development Authority will be holding a public event at the Raleigh County Memorial Airport on Monday, Nov. 4, at 3 p.m., to announce the AEROready certification.
"We greatly appreciate the partnership of Appalachian Power Company in this process," Brouse said.

In Lauingen at the Danube, hometown of Albertus Magnus (1206 – 1280) there was a medieval Jewish community with many family relations to the Augsburgs Jewry. In Lauingen today there are two landmarks supposed to be witnesses of the medieval community. One is a mikveh inside a small chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary of the fountain. About the same time when Jews reportedly were pursued under the accusation of "well poisoning" their likely mikveh only a chain or some 20 yards away from the Danube river was rededicated to the Christian mariolatry, since the water of the supposed mikvah now was considered curative and miraculous. Actually it is not safe to say if the few down steps with the small quadratic water basin really are the remnants of a 14th century mikveh as it is told, since the existing building material surely isn't, but more likely from 18th or 19th century. However there also is the rumor that the supposed mikveh itself was a part of the earliest synagogue of Lauingen, what because of the close proximity to the river is hardly probable and very implausible. The riverbed of the Danube at this juncture is some 80 yards (or 75m), but the level of the Danube today of course is lowered and rectified. So it is not conceivable to believe that the Jews of Lauingen would have build their synagogue next to bank of an untamed wayward river, which repeatedly caused floodings. A mikveh on the other hand at the same spot is at least to some respect a little bit more likely, since a flooded bath is no serious damage and maybe only needs cleansing. But since there is no original structure components left anyway, there of course is no way to determine any extent of an alleged mikveh. The structure is in a small chapel, which is a maybe older part of a regular church St. Alban and again is part of a retirement home and so there of course are many different overlapping stories and legends at the compound at the banks of the Danube river.
The second supposed landmark is a huge house in the former Judengasse (today Hirschstr.), were above the doorframe is a Hebrew inscription which reads זחל (sakhal), literally meaning "caterpillar". The inscription is interpreted as (an abbreviation?) meaning "this is the gate to *Yahwe*", what of course is pointless, as explicitly explained in the German text above. More likely the inscription is a mere remnant of a more extensive inscription, not necessarily from the supposed synagogue which by the way is one of the few houses in the street which is not oriented towards Jerusalem as most others does. Of course we would love to identify such old remains of medieval Jews in Lauingen, which by the way is a quite lovely town with many remarkable landmarks of all kind, but those two structures are quite doubtful.

Pub time
If you're down in North Devon this weekend then a visit to the Hunters Inn might be a pleasant chore, you can see my review of it in today's Daily Telegraph. The picture was taken during its recent beer festival where amongst its offerings, including Rudgate Mild, I was surprised and pleased to see Punk IPA. Now I'm off to the Conwy Feast, where there's a beer tent featuring the likes of Great Orme Brewery and Purple Moose (whose beers always seem to impress).
4 comments:
My only visit to the Hunters Inn was more than twenty years ago when I had a ploughman's which bizarrely was presented with grated cheese!ReplyDelete
I'm sure it's better now.
I have to say I like your pub reviews in the Telegraph as they put across what places are like as pubs rather than (as some others do) concentrating on the food and leaving everything else to an afterthought.
Cheers Curmudgeon — it's nice to be appreciated.ReplyDelete
The idea of a Ploughmans with grated cheese reminds me of a hotel/pub in Carlisle I stayed in many years ago. I was doing something for the then BBC Travel magazine (the Des Lynam page of walks, I was Des and doing Hadrian's wall). The local tourist board had booked me into this market place hotel which thought that I was also doing a report on them — just as well really, when they offered me a cheese sauce with the salad…
Worth mentioning this post about pubs that completely fail to get the idea of dishes they are serving. A cheeseburger with a heap of grated cheese is on a par with a ploughman's, really.ReplyDelete
Good post, it's depressing isn't it? It's not rocket science to get things right in pub food, but quite a few landlords (and ladies) get it wrong — when we are out and about and want to eat my wife tends to go for the Good Pub Guide and if I am driving (as I normally am) it doesn't really matter apart from a few considerations (reserved signs on tables, and the menu description that includes pan-fried, does anyone ever say pot-boiled broccoli?). She got a rude awakening when we were first going out (how innocent that all sounds) and I took her for lunch to a GBG pub in Dorset — Christ it was grim and the food was inedible but the beer was lovely…I was driving though…ReplyDelete

San Diego, CA — Jason Russell who was the director of the Kony 2012 Youtube video that went viral one year ago today made waves again as he announced to reporters his future plans for a documentary about living a masturbation-free lifestyle. What makes this announcement so shocking is that also one year ago today Russell was detained by San Diego police for public masturbation. He was found in a state of undress and screaming incoherently.
Russell explained to reporters what made him decide to do this new documentary. "It's been one full year now since the Kony video and the incident that happened in San Diego. I think I'm ready to face my problems and move forward from here," Russell said. "This new documentary of mine is about leading a healthy, masturbation-free lifestyle." Russell continued, "My inspiration for this project actually came from a children's mascot who advocates living a life free of masturbation. I don't think this project would have been possible without the help of my good friend Fappy The Anti-Masturbation Dolphin. Together, god willing, we can finally put an end to this horrible disease called masturbation."
Fappy® The Anti-Masturbation Dolphin who recently kicked off a 31-city nationwide school tour on March 6th just happened to be in San Diego today talking with various schools in the area about the dangers and consequences of masturbation. "Masturbation is the devil's playground," Fappy® told reporters. "By getting to the children when they're young and before they've had a chance to rape themselves, that's when you can truly make a difference. Fappy® and friends are just thrilled to be helping Jason with his new documentary and look forward to it's completion."
Russell's anti-masturbation documentary will begin filming next month and will be released to schools nationwide sometime next year. His Kony 2012 video received more than 83 million views on YouTube in the first two weeks of its online release. It quickly became the subject of intensive media scrutiny and criticism. The video's subject matter was about the Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony, his alleged war crimes, and the movement to bring him to the International Criminal Court.
