Pulling Another Favor is a mission in Grand Theft Auto V given to protagonist Franklin Clinton by Tonya Wiggins from outside a Liquor store on Forum Dr in Strawberry, Los Santos.
Tonya, who spends her days outside the Liquor store on Forum Dr, calls out to Franklin Clinton as he passes by. He stops and asks if she ever cleans herself up with Tonya briefly getting Franklin confused with Lamar Davis. She claims that everybody knows he has gone all "Vinewood" to which Franklin responds that he is 'guilty as charged' if it means he isn't 'hittin' the pipe like 1992. She explains that JB has not gone back to work and that they are still at risk of losing the house. Franklin agrees to help and they drive to the LSPD Auto Impound. On the way they talk about their past behind a Burger Shot with Tonya claiming that Franklin became a man after that night and Franklin that nothing actually happened. The two get into the Tow Truck and are told by dispatch of a car parked in a diabled spot without a blue badge at the Lucky Plucker at the corner of Vespucci Blvd and Palomino Ave in Little Seoul.
Tonya tells them that they are on their way and still filling in for JB. Franklin asks Tonya why she does not do the job to which she responds that she can not drive and that the job is not for a lady. The two then talk about Denise Clinton, both agreeing that she is crazy, before Tonya tells Franklin about her certificate in cosmology. They arrive at the Lucky Plucker and hook the car up. After raising the car off the ground they begin driving back to the impound with the cars owner briefly giving chase on foot. The two talk about the similarities between towing and repossessing cars, in particular how both are an honest dollar, which Franklin has not seen as JB is still smoking crack. Tonya tells Franklin she needs to keep JBs hours up as they are about to sell the impound and it was not going to be good for drivers without papers, with JB having sold his for a 'piece two years back'. Franklin tells Tonya that he's been covering for JB for twenty years. They arrive at the impound and drop the car off. Tonya tells Franklin that she will make it to him later as Franklin leaves.

Written in 58 minutes. Would have taken less, but I stopped to double check some of the details around Franco's brain tumor.
Kelly's: Dining Room
Elizabeth smiled and kissed Griffin Munro on the cheek as he lightly embraced her. "I'm so glad you were available for lunch today! I was afraid you'd be spending your day off with Ava."
Griffin grimaced as they took their seats and he reached for the menu. "Ah, well, that's probably not going to happen."
"Oh?" Elizabeth arched a brow. "Are things okay?" She didn't particularly like Ava Jerome, not after her scheming at ELQ had resulted in AJ Quatermaine's last spiral in alcohol and tragedy. And of course, her final role in his murder. But Griffin liked her, and she was sort of Franco's friend for some reason.
"I—" Griffin shook his head. "I really tried. You know? I tried to be the better man. To not make a big deal about it, but…every time I saw Julian Jerome, I remembered that I'll never know my father. And that it's his fault." He held up a hand as if to ward off whatever Elizabeth might say next. "And sure, he says he was forced. But I don't care."
"I wasn't going to stick up for him." Elizabeth hesitated. "I just—you knew Ava's brother was Julian before you got involved—"
"He was supposed to be in prison for the rest of his life. I could deal with from afar, but…we spent Christmas with him, and I just—" Griffin sat back in his chair. "I can't do it. I tried. But I don't know how to get past it. And I'm just hurting Ava by putting her in the middle. But I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I walked away from the priesthood for her—"
"No, hey…" Elizabeth leaned forward. "We talked about this when you made the final decision. Yeah, Ava was the factor, but…she wasn't the reason. Or if she was, then she shouldn't have been. Take it from me—the second you make one person your reason for changing your entire life, for changing who you are—it'll never work." She bit her lip. "You know about my ex-husband, Lucky Spencer and his drug addiction? He found out I was pregnant with Jake—he thought Jake was his biological child. And Jake was the reason he said he got clean. I was terrified what would happen if he found out Jake wasn't his."
"Did he relapse when he found out?" Griffin asked.
"No. But I made a lot of choices based on my fear. In my head, Jake was the reason Lucky was clean. And…well, there were other reasons, but I asked Jason to give Jake up. It was selfish of me to expect that of him. We never really recovered from that. And I'm still paying for that now." She hesitated. "Was Ava the reason you left the priesthood, Griffin?"
"I guess…." Griffin shook his head. "No. She wasn't my first relationship with a woman. And she wasn't the reason I doubted myself. I just…I care about her, Elizabeth. But how do I get past when her brother did?"
"I don't know," she admitted.
"How did you get past what Franco did? I mean," Griffin said when Elizabeth blinked at him. "He kidnapped your son, didn't he? How…can you tell me how you can forgive something like that?"
"I—" Elizabeth hesitated. "The brain tumor, you know? He's a different person now."
Griffin shook his head. "I don't understand. I thought his brain tumor was pressing on his prefrontal cortex in the frontal lobe."
Elizabeth furrowed his brow. "I can't…I don't remember what Patrick said it was. But Diane Miller argued it in court, and Patrick supported the conclusion he wasn't responsible—"
"I don't know what happened then," Griffin said, "but I've read Franco's chart. His tumor was in the prefrontal cortex. That's the impulse center. It deals with your reasoning and planning. Emotions. It doesn't create a new personality. It generally amps up what already exists."
"I mean, sometimes tumors on the frontal lobe cause personality changes," Griffin continued, "but it's usually not that stark, like before the tumor, you're Mr. Rogers, and afterwards, you're Ted Bundy. It doesn't usually create a violent schizophrenic sociopath without some sort of underlying cause—"
She could feel her heart pounding in her ears. Elizabeth stared at him. "I—I don't understand." She swallowed. "What are you saying to me?"
"I really shouldn't—" Griffin grimaced. "I wasn't his doctor. I just…I know what I saw from the charts. Maybe Patrick could say differently—"
"Griffin—" Elizabeth shook her head. "You're right. You—you weren't here. And Diane got the charges dismissed, so there must have been medical evidence." She reached for the menu, her hand trembling slightly. "Let's…let order—"
"I'm sorry, Elizabeth. I shouldn't have brought it up—"
"He is a different man," Elizabeth said, but this time, in her head, she could almost hear the desperation in her tone. "He is. You don't know him the way I do—"
"No, I get it. He shows you one side of him. And another side to the rest of the world. He just always…struck me as arrogant. Dismissive—"
"No, he feels remorse for what he did—" Elizabeth closed her mouth. Closed her eyes. "You know what? I can't—I can't have lunch right now." She'd lost her appetite.
"Elizabeth, I'm sorry—" Griffin got to his feet as she did as well. "I really didn't have any right—"
"No, you didn't. You weren't his doctor. You weren't the judge. You weren't there." Neither were you, a sinister voice whispered in her ear. She hadn't paid attention to any of the details—it hadn't mattered to her at the time.
She'd been preoccupied with AJ's case and worrying about him. About Michael. And worried what would happen if Franco was released. But Diane had stood up for Franco, and Patrick was supposed to have signed some sort of documentation.
Carly of all people had believed in him after everything Michael had gone through.
Griffin was wrong.
He had to be wrong.
Jason's Apartment: Living Room
Carly Corinthos folded her arms and stared at the new sofa critically. "I don't know if I like it after all."
Jason sighed and leaned against the wall. "It's a couch, Carly. I really don't care what it looks like as long as it's comfortable—"
"No, it has to be right." She shook her head. "I did okay with the bedrooms, I think. I just…" Carly sighed, looked around the apartment. "It's so hard to think of you somewhere other than the penthouse, you know? That was home. If Sam was going to abandon you like the cold-hearted bitch I always knew she was—"
Jason closed his eyes and just let Carly rant. It had become clear that Carly's New Year's scheme had failed—backfired really as Sam had kissed him, and then looked at him with those dark eyes he'd loved so much…
They'd been filled with regret. Bitterness. Guilt.
And goodbye.
That spark hadn't been there for either of them, and whether Sam had gone home to tell Drew or not, Jason didn't know and didn't care. He was moving on with his life.
And Carly had accepted it for the most part. It just meant that she'd stopped pushing him towards Sam and was now back to treating Sam like trash. He didn't care for that either—but at least it meant she left Sam alone to get on with her life.
"When is Elizabeth going to let you have Jake overnight?" Carly demanded. "She didn't seem all that interested in giving me anything to make his room feel like his—"
"We're taking that slow," Jason said with another sigh. He really didn't want Carly to bad mouth Sam to him, but he really wasn't up for another tantrum about Elizabeth.
He had no idea what Carly's problem was with Elizabeth, and had never understood her animosity towards Jake's mother.
"Slow?" Carly snorted. "You mean you're dragging your feet. You know, that's your problem, Jase. You've been letting that waif drive the bus when it comes to Jake for the kid's entire life. I mean, she lied to you about being Jake's father, and you still let Lucky raise him—"
"It was safer," Jason said, but the words felt hollow. "And you're the one who lied to me about Lucky. Elizabeth just didn't correct you."
Not after Jason had gone and told her it was for the best. She'd thought she was doing them all a favor.
"Oh, sure, blame me." Carly rolled her eyes. "Look, I think you should sue her for custody rights. She's letting your kid live with that insane bastard—"
"No court in the world is going to give me custody," Jason said dryly. "And that's the last thing I would ever do. Elizabeth raised Jake. She raised him after I walked away. I—You were going to let Franco around Joss."
"Oh, God. Do not remind me," Carly muttered as she stalked across the room to look at the sofa from another angle. "And thank God he called it off. I almost married him—"
"He called it off?" Jason repeated. "I thought—"
"Oh—" Carly blinked at him. "Hell. He, ah, well—I cheated on him with Sonny, you know? But I was gonna go through with the wedding. I felt like I had to because—" She grimaced. "You know…that AJ was alive."
"Yeah, Monica said something about it, but she didn't want to go into the details. Just that he died a few years ago—" Jason stopped. "Carly. What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything," Carly said with a huff. "Everyone thought AJ killed Connie, you know? It was obvious. Michael didn't beleive it, but he's a soft touch. You know AJ came back and tricked Michael into giving him a chance—"
"Get to the point, Carly."
"Well, Sonny thought AJ killed Connie," Carly said flatly. "And he walked in on AJ confronting Ava…because it turned out Ava actually killed Connie. And—"
"Sonny killed him."
"Not…right away…" Carly twisted her hands together. "See, I'm not…I'm not proud of either of us, you know? We were wrong. But AJ…didn't die. He made it to the hospital. And God, Michael was so upset—" She looked away. Her voice faltered. "And AJ…he told me before he died that it was Sonny. But I didn't tell anyone. I lied to Michael for months. And I do feel awful about it. You know, I mean, I had my problems with AJ, I guess. But—he was better for a while. Before Ava Jerome screwed him out of ELQ by lying about Kiki's paternity—he like the guy I knew all those years ago—and Michael got into ELQ because of AJ."
"Carly…" Jason just stared at her. He swallowed hard. "You lied to Michael for months about what happened to AJ? And Franco knew?"
"That's why I had to marry him." Carly nodded resolutely. "Because if I left him, he'd tell Michael. Except…he had secretly taped me and Sonny together, and Sonny admitted it, and God, it was awful. I wish like hell you had been here. I mean, Drew was—but he was Jake Doe, and we didn't really know him yet. Michael and Sonny were estranged for months. Everything almost fell apart."
Jason rubbed his face. "Christ, Carly."
"I know, I know. But we got it back. Michael and Sonny patched things up—" Carly closed her mouth. "Anyway, Franco kind of went crazy. He showed the tape at the wedding. Humilated me in front of everyone. Destroyed Michael. Even if he's not the same kind of crazy he was before the tumor…" She shook her head. "God help Elizabeth if she ever pisses him off. Because he's still not right."

It hasn't always worked out this way in the past, but Devin Carrey is so far making the most of his sponsorship exemption into the Freedom 55 Financial Open at Point Grey Golf and Country Club in Vancouver.
Trying to continue his strong run of play from Thursday's opening round of five-under-par 67, Carrey carded a one-under-par 71 on Friday, capping off the afternoon with a birdie putt on the 10th hole.
At the time, that put the Langley product onto the leaderboard as the top Canadian in the field heading into the weekend, at six-under par.
Dan McCarthy of Syracuse, N.Y., took over the lead as of deadline Friday after firing a six-under-par 66.
"My round, it was eventful," said Carrey. "I had some opportunities early and was able to capitalize. In the middle of the round I got a little shaky in some spots and I was able to kind of salvage some up and downs to keep the momentum going."
One of those shaky spots he spoke of was a difficult par save on the sixth. From prime location in the middle of the fairway and with an opportunity to get close to the pin for a birdie attempt, Carrey hit his approach heavy and left himself well short of the green.
He was able to run his third shot right up to the hole, leaving a short tap-in for the save.
"I hit a hell of a chip there, to a foot. That was nice. But yeah, just a couple of bad swings there where it was just a little lack of commitment, maybe not knowing where the wind was going to go," he said.
The second round may have provided challenges for Carrey, but he was able to set himself up in a decent position for the weekend. He said he didn't even bother to look at the leaderboard on Thursday, after finishing the round late and then driving an hour or so back to Surrey, before allowing himself to check it out on the 18th hole during Friday's round.
"It would've been nice to play a little better today," said Carrey.
"Two rounds under par won't hurt me. Hopefully — depending on the weather (Saturday) — we can keep it going in that respect."
The dreary weather, however, is expected to roll in this weekend, meaning there may not be many chances to score well.
Despite the sun peaking out from behind the clouds for Friday's round, especially in the late morning and early afternoon, Environment Canada is calling for periods of rain, cool temperatures and wind near the water today.
Carrey right now has conditional status on the Web.comTour but he can play his way into another Mackenzie Tour-PGA Tour Canada event by placing 20th or better in Vancouver this weekend.
Now residing north of Houston, Texas, Carrey spent all of the 2015 season on the Adams Pro Tour, a developmental circuit that runs tournaments out of the southern U.S.
Maybe it's not the most renowned tour. But a gruelling 2014 season in which Carrey got married and said he was on the road for 34 weeks out of the year, playing on both the Web.comTour and Mackenzie Tour-PGA Tour Canada and burned out by the time he got to the second stage of Web.com Tour Q-school in the fall, factored into his decision to give the Adams Tour a try.
The logic behind his decision was to have the energy necessary for Q-school again last fall. He ended up making it to the final stage.
"The year before was madness," he said of his 2014 season.
Carrey has had sponsor exemptions in the past playing in Web.com Tour events, but he lamented not being able to take advantage of those opportunities. At the very least, he's in contention this weekend.
"I'm trying to parlay this into a season out here."

Using our brain we almost reduced the necessity of doing physical work to zero. It wasn't to reduce the stress. It was just because we thought it was in the way. Physical work is in the way of using the full capacity of the brain. So we reduced it. Made free time and started using our brain a little more. Just so much that we could get a job, do it efficiently and grow in it.
And we forgot physical work, completely. As a result, we now have people who are overweight, dying early at the age of 50 and 60 because of heart diseases. So we reverted back to doing physical work by going to the gym/ running/ exercising in different ways, reducing the fat that has formed all over the body over time.
People made careers out of it and encouraged other people to get fit and healthy. Later which turned towards the shape of the body because some people overdid it and got muscular and in shape. The others liked it and they started trying for that. Scientists discovered protein was an essential nutrient to build muscle and along came protein shakes. And Now there is an empire built around the bodybuilding industry which is attracting millions of young people towards it.
We have established that physical work is necessary because no matter how much we use our brain it won't be able to spend all the energy we are taking in. One reason for this is the reduced use of oxygen over time and physical work, exercising, running/ swimming or going to the gym and working out, increases the intake which in turn helps us burn the left out calories making us more fit.
But why is our generation so obsessed with building a muscular, well-toned body? Why is it so obsessed with the looks over the brain? Why are we stressing our bodies which yield us no benefit whatsoever instead of our brains?
Let's discuss why it is important to turn our attention away from body building.

(Written for another, now defunct, blog in January of 2006.)
By Scott Ross
The shade of Stephen Crane will I hope forgive me, for I come in praise of Margaret Dumont. Arguably the greatest "straight-man" in the business. That paragon of public virtue who stood more abuse — verbal and physical — from Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Zeppo (not to mention the likes of W.C. Fields) than any one woman should ever have to shoulder alone.
Now, Groucho always maintained that she never understood any of the jokes or why their audiences laughed (an image even Dumont was happy to feed the press). But I challenge you to watch any scene in which she appears opposite the Bros. Marx and convince yourself that's a true picture of her. It's possible — just barely — for an actor to get by on that sort of thing maybe once, if the director is clever enough to elicit a performance out of confusion or wooden-headness. But try making a career of it.
No, she got the jokes and then some. No one who was that much of a thickie could have performed so knowingly and with such grace and comedic polish. Imagine building an entire performing life out of being the butt of the joke. (And a bigger butt there never was, so to speak; cf. the "stateroom scene" in A Night at the Opera.) Was anything meaner ever said of a dowager than Groucho's "Remember, you're fighting for this woman's honor, which is probably more than she ever did" in Duck Soup? Dumont's reactions are models of comic timing, and if they're a little broad, as though she was still playing to back of house on Broadway, that doesn't detract from her charm. After all, was Groucho subtle? Was Chico? How about Harpo?
I was trying to resist the urge to quote endlessly from the movies themselves, but I find I've had to succumb to temptation. After all, it's the only way to illustrate what that sainted woman had to bear from the lips of the Great Grouch.
In Duck Soup:
Groucho: Not that I care, but where is your husband?
Dumont: Why, he's dead.
Groucho: I bet he's just using that as an excuse.
Dumont: I was with him to the very end.
Groucho: No wonder he passed away.
Dumont: I held him in my arms and kissed him.
Groucho: Oh, I see, then it was murder!
Dumont: As chairwoman of the reception committee, I welcome you with open arms.
Groucho: Is that so? How late do you stay open?
Groucho: I suppose you would think me a sentimental old fluff, but, uh, would you mind giving me lock of your hair?
Dumont: A lock of my hair? Why, I had no idea—
Groucho: I'm letting you off easy: I was going to ask for the whole wig.
In A Night at the Opera:
Groucho: That woman? Do you know why I sat with her? Because she reminded me of you.
Dumont: Really?
Groucho: Of course, that's why I'm sitting here with you. Because you remind me of you. Your eyes, your throat, your lips! Everything about you reminds me of you. Except you. How do you account for that? (Aside to the audience) If she figures that one out, she's good.
But she could take it — luckily for us. A Marx Bros. movie without her is a poor thing indeed. (Well, Monkey Business and Horse Feathers had Thelma Todd, but that's a wholly different animal, if you'll pardon the expression. Todd, a spunky comedian in her own right, could more than hold her own, especially with Groucho; their demented tango on the balcony in Horse Feathers is a thing of comic beauty.)
Maggie even has a fan club. And it may give you a measure of the affection and esteem with which Groucho regarded her that, despite his public pronouncements about her alleged lack of humor, he hired her to do a dialogue sketch with him on a comedy show in the mid-1960s. She died a few days later — happy, one hopes, in the knowledge that she still had it, and that someone wanted to see it.
Even if Dumont didn't get the jokes, she was herself funny as hell. Aside from Toddy, Groucho never had a better foil. That alone cements her place in movie history. And if only for that, she is, quite properly, immortal.

STOCKTON — An attorney for former Mayor Anthony Silva says a court appearance scheduled for Monday morning has been pushed back until Dec. 11.
A court filing gave no reason for the postponement.
Silva is accused of embezzling funds during his tenure as CEO of the Stockton Boys & Girls Club, now known as the Kids Club.
The former mayor was arrested in early March and spent 10 days in the San Joaquin County Jail before gaining his release after a judge reduced his bail from $1 million to $350,000. Silva was released on the condition he wear a GPS ankle monitor to track his whereabouts.
A 534-page transcript of the grand jury proceeding that led to Silva's arrest became a public document six weeks ago. Silva has been steadfast in stating his innocence.
In a separate case, the 42-year-old Silva accepted a plea agreement with Amador County prosecutors two months ago. The former mayor pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor for furnishing alcohol to a person under 21 at his Silver Lake summer camp in 2015. Judge Leslie Nichols dismissed three other misdemeanor charges related to child endangerment and Silva's alleged secret recording of a strip poker game with teenage camp counselors two years ago.

"Delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." (Psalm 37: 4)
Of the many things we can experience, and for which we can be thankful, the one that comes to my mind that encompasses everything, is the presence and unconditional love of God.
It's wonderful to know that God's grace is always available to us. It's comforting. It's reassuring. It's peaceful. But it seems to me that if we are to experience God's grace we need to get on the same wavelength with God. We can recognize God's grace only through our desire to let God into our lives. The grace is there, we have to stop and align with Spirit. It's like tuning our radios to a certain frequency. The station we want is out there, it's broadcasting, but we have to tune to the right signal to hear it. God speaks to us at the level of our willingness to listen. When we have the willingness to listen to God what we find is that God is right there, waiting for us. Grace upon grace, offered unconditionally.
Stop and give thanksgiving to God for being a real, moving, exciting presence in your life. This recognition will also connect you to Divine Spirit in a beautiful and loving way. When we make the connection, when give thanksgiving, our lives move toward the change we have always desired to experience.
Affirmation: "I take time to stop and tune in with God."
Rev. Jefferson Beeker

Berg Alert 2019
Dear Chris
Thank you for raising this matter with us. We view them in a serious light and are busy addressing them through various means, including a bilateral Security Working Group. I have personally tried to get our Defence Forces to engage with them on this matter, to no avail.
In terms of incident reporting to the South African Police Service, for incidents in the Royal Natal area they can report them to the Bergville charge office on 036 4481095. Unfortunately there is no specific person that they can report to. If they have the ability to open a case of harassment and possibly illegal pointing of a firearm, then that would be the best option as it will require investigation of the case which might lead to a more favourable outcome. If not, they can ask to make an entry into the OB register and ensure that they obtain an OB number. I would also request that I am notified of all incidents and case/OB numbers. I also suggest that incidents are reported via email to the head of the Defence Force in charge of securing the international border: Colonel Wolmaraans on firstname.lastname@example.com . The Bergville Station Commandercan also be emailed on firstname.lastname@example.com .
If hikers have paid to enter through Witsieshoek Resort then I would also suggest hikers engage with them over this matter. Since we derive no income at all from the fees charged to hikers in our area by Witsieshoek, they should also be involved in addressing concerns from hikers who are paying them for entry into that area. Witsieshoek can be contacted on 058 7136361 and emailed on firstname.lastname@example.com . The samegoes for any incidents around the chain ladders.
Thanks again Chris,
Kind regards

Thanks for attempting that. We may well encounter responses like that at times but I would encourage hikers not to be put off by it. If there has been harassment and/or a crime has been committed, especially on SA soil, it is a police matter, no matter where it is, and we as citizens simply have to insist on that. As mentioned by Stephen Richert in his email posted earlier, opening a case requires the SAPS to investigate, and I would say even more so if more than one case is opened as the incidents happen. At least making an entry in the OB register (which can be done over the phone) officially records the incident, and as mentioned previously, it is this official reporting that we need more of. It is the one thing that we as hikers can do to help.

I may have not communicated what I was asking correctly or not spoken to

of Ntonjelana pass or of any incidents and they said that they did not

Thanks Herman, I have sent you a PM.
Herman wrote: I've spoken to a South African diplomat about the LDF incidents. He said that if we can give him a formal report, possibly through an official body such as the MCSA (or maybe through KZN Wildlife, @Ranger?), he will ensure that it reaches the right people on the Lesotho side.
Would those who have knowledge of such incidents please PM me? I'm happy to get the ball rolling, but if @Ranger and/or @Intrepid can be involved that would be best.

between hikers and local people in the Maluti Mountains of Lesotho or the South
African Drakensberg – I fully realise I was not there!
In my opinion, there is no doubt that the perpetrator(s) mentioned at the start of
this thread, dressed in items of camouflage clothing and carrying automatic
rifles were members of the Lesotho Army. I have encountered men fitting this
description elsewhere along the Eastern border of Lesotho over the last two
years or so.
From what I remember, the general consensus at a meeting I attended hosted by EKZN Wildlife
in RNNP almost two years ago was that a visible presence by the Lesotho Army
along their Eastern border would be welcomed in an attempt to help control
robbers, dagga smugglers and stock thieves. As I havewritten in our Notes on Basotho Culture (published elsewhere on Vertical Endeavour),
there is a 'technical' border along the top of the Drakensberg, the watershed
or continental divide – this is the one marked on most maps, and a 'perceived' border
– the cliffs or 'Dilomo tsa Natala' the Cliffs of Natal in Sesotho. Whether we
South Africans like it or not, the perceived border is the one understood by
99% of Basotho, including those with an education, such as Lesotho border officials
and soldiers. As South Africans there is nothing we can do that will change this
perception, besides a mass education and awareness campaign which would most likely have
limited success, so in my opinion, we may as well get used to it. Yes, and that
includes the top of the Amphitheatre.
For sometime hikers hiking along the top of the Drakensberg have been strongly encouraged
by South African authorities to carry their passports with them. Bearing in
mind my previous point, once hikers have crested the cliffs of the Drakensberg
Escarpment, in my opinion, and in common with most international borders,
hikers should be willing to show their passports to Lesotho officials, and
would be wise to be respectful, friendly and forthcoming about where they have
come from and where they are going, whether they may consider they are standing
on South African soil or not.
The Lesotho Army patrols are there to curb criminal activity. Unfortunately it is
almost inevitable that there will be a few 'bad apples' among them. I am not
excusing this type of behavior, but when hiking along an international border
perhaps it is prudent to put away opinions about who is standing on who's soil,
whether expressed or implied, as this could very unfortunately be mistaken for arrogance
and disrespect, and perhaps instead express some gratitude in simple Sesotho (kea
leboha) for what they are trying to achieve.
Hikers may well be surprised by the positive response they get.

Before this thread start following the wrong frame of mind I believe it is important to correct this. I believe the last 2 posts on the Basutho culture etc had the right intentions. However, please do not assume and make conclusions about these men and possibly even worse, excuse them. I know with Geoff's account this was different yet in our encounter these men were not on Dagga. The only drug they were on was that which any irresponsible person would experience walking around with an R4.
Not one person in our party at any time was disrespectful in any way. I believe the only thing that prevented a tense moment from escalating was the patience, as well as proper understanding of the situation. Threatening and being aggressive towards a 9 year old boy and avoiding a situation with this boys dad I can only ascribe to my friends character and moral fibre. In my talks with these men I was tense and for the duration of the conversation my mind was racing as to release the tension and saying with respect whatever I could to ease this mood. Never have I experienced this type of behaviour and I don't believe any hiker should have to face this kind of encounter and even more so the incident Geoff had.
Dagga, border disputes, linguistics, culture neither any other reasonable excuse I will "bless "these men with. This I say not with a vengeful attitude towards them because of what we experienced, but because I firmly believe this encounter belong in the thread "Berg Alert" and should be treated as such for the safety of everybody.

Thank you for the good points regarding how we interact with the Basotho and learning more about their culture. The stated intention of the Berg Alert threads (as detailed in the first post of each annual thread) has always been to maintain a true picture about what is going in the Berg, not to stir up negative feelings or prejudice against any particular culture , but in order to help visitors make informed decisions so that they may avoid problems themselves. I have now expanded this introductory blurb at the start of this thread. I have also made mention that hikers should carry their passports if they intend hiking along the escarpment (Ranger also mentioned this previously).
Thank you GetaPix and Geoff for providing us with the details of exactly what happened. These details are vital. Your incidents have also not happened in isolation - a similar trend already exists in the Amphitheatre area. More has happened there than has reached this forum and I really wish we had these details to help us maintain a true and balanced picture of what is going on. If we can get these issues reported through appropriate channels we may well see a decline in this trend.

to build there. At the end of the day it has nothing to do with where
the border is but on how we interact with them. I highly recommend this
book to all who hike on the escarpment. I purchased my copy from the
Sani Backpackers Lodge".
Hi Richard,
With respect, there are Metibo on the Eastern Slopes of the approaches to the Northern Hodgsons Peaks...
I fully endorse your recommendation of the book 'Shepherd Boy of the Maluti' and have mentioned it elsewhere! Happy reading

I also happen to know that some of the complainants have been less than speedy in supplying EKZNW with affidavits, despite numerous requests for these.
It is one thing to post wildly on social media, but that does not hold any official weight in cross departmental and international communications. So I'd urge any complainants who have encountered this type of behavior to cooperate with EKZNW timeously for the good of all users.

THROUGH fertile fields the Coquet pursues its course to the sea from Warkworth. On the south of the wide estuary stands the busy town of Amble, and at high tide the gleaming waters and the shipping make a fine picture, whilst beyond on the heaving sea is Coquet Island with its conspicuous whitewashed lighthouse.
Amble is of ancient origin as a township. On the links have been found a prehistoric burial place, and at Gloster Hill, adjoining, some traces of Roman occupation. The Priory of Tynemouth was endowed with the tithes of Amble in 1090, one of the earliest records of its existence. It possessed a Benedictine monastery, and the remains of the interesting pre-Reformation manor house are still to be seen. Now it is encircled by collieries, to which it owes its prosperity and shipping. The town claims a song which is usually associated with Falmouth, but the reference to the north certainly gives Amble a strong claim to it, and the tune is called a characteristic Northumberland one, although, apart from Tyneside and its many ballads, we are not aware of much tune-fulness in our northernmost county. The first verse goes :
Oh, Amble is a fine town, with ships upon the bay ; And I wish with my heart I was only there today ; And I wish with my heart I was far away from here, A-sitting in my parlour and talking to my dear. And it's home, dearie, home ! Oh, it's home I want to be ! My top sails are hoisted and I must out to sea. For the 0ak, and the ash, and the bonnie rowan tree They're all a'growing green in the North Countree. Oh ! It's home, dearie, home.
A mile off shore is Coquet Island, sixteen acres in extent, where from very early times had been a cell for Benedictine monks. Some Saxon relics have been found on it, which point to remote civilisation – a coin of the Emperor Valerian, a ring with an old English rune, possibly ninth century, a bronze buckle, and an enamelled ornament. In Elizabethan days it became the resort of lawless folk and money-coiners, and during the Civil War was taken by the Scots. Leland says that " The Isle of Coquet standeth upon a very good vayne of secoles ; and at the ebbe, men digge in the shore by the clives " ; and a writer in 1747 describes it : " Coquet Island lies at the mouth of the River of that name where was anciently a castle with a Monastery but both have been long demolished, and here are no habitations but Hutts for the Diggers of Sea-coal. Vast flocks of wild fowl continually harbour and lay their eggs on this island, by the sale of which the fishermen make great advantages as well as by the fish which they catch here in abundance." After storms coal is often washed up on Amble shore. At the building of the lighthouse (in which is incorporated the vault of the old tower) the terns and eider duck disappeared and the seals which used to inhabit the north end of the island were shot down. The light-house is eighty feet high and the intermittent light is visible four-teen miles off, whilst an explosive fog signal warns the mariner in thick weather on this dangerous coast. Two picturesque incidents Bates records about Coquet Island. In 684 Elfled, Abbess of Whitby, asked St. Cuthbert to meet her on the island to discuss her brother King Egfred's affairs. He told her that the King had only a year to live and would be succeeded by another whom she would also regard as a brother. " Thou seest this great and broad sea, how it aboundeth in islands. It is easy for God to provide someone out of one of these to be set over the Kingdom of the English." Elfled thought he referred to a reputed son of her father, Oswi.
At a later date Robert Fitz-Roger, at Warkworth,had a curious dispute with an eccentric hermit of Coquet Island called Martin.
The latter built a windmill, which infuriated the lord of the manor, and he sent men with mattocks and axes to destroy it in the sight of the terrified Martin, but the chronicler adds that it was a strange fancy for a professed hermit to indulge in, as mills, like shows, were apt to harbour promiscuous society. So poor Martin, enlivening his solitude with a little worldly speculation, was quickly chastened by the jealous knight who reigned at Warkworth.
The fishing village of Hauxley is a little to the south of Amble. It has a lifeboat station above the rocky entrance to its harbour, and beyond it are the Bondicarr Rocks and Druridge Bay. There is now a flourishing coalfield near it. Until the beginning of the nineteenth century the only industries were fishing and the burning of kelp, which was made from the seaweed in summer. The kelp was dried in the sun, and after being treated by fire was sold to glass and soap manufacturers. On the links, where it was dried, one of the latest smugglers is commemorated by a hill called Tom Forsyth's Hill. Forsyth operated even in the nineteenth century, and forty horses have been seen there awaiting the arrival of the lugger. In those days too it was thought to be an ill winter that brought no wrecks, and within memory is the story of the old fishwife who, after a suspension of shipwrecks, shut her cat up in the cupboard to bring luck.
In the village street is a cottage with a moulded window and a doorhead with the date 1600 – all that remains of the original mansion of the Widdringtons. At Hauxley Hall, a hundred years ago, lived one of the Surtees, a partner in a Newcastle bank that failed. He was so afraid of arrest that he never came out except on Sundays, and had a shuttered lattice in the outer door so that callers could be observed and interrogated from it. The Whitehouse sands at Hauxley preserve the recollection of the white-painted hut where a lieutenant and a few bluejackets lived during the Napoleonic Wars watching for the advance ships of the disturber of European peace.
From the Bondicarr rocks extends the fine half-circle of Druridge Bay, with beautiful white sands rich in shells.
Turning inland from Amble or Warkworth, or by following a road leading from Druridge Bay, about two miles from the coast, is the village of Widdrington. The station is on the main line, but the village is a mile and a half off. Chevy Chase has handed down to us for ever the memory of Widdrington, the doughty
" Squyar of Northumbarlonde Ric. Wytharyngton was his nam."
It shall never be told in Sothe Ynglonde, he says To kyng Henry the fourth for sham. I wat yone byn great lordes twan I am a poor squyar of lande ; I wyll never se my captayne fyght on a fylde And stande myselfe and loocke on.
For Wytharyngton my harte was wo, That ever he slayne shulde be, For when both his leggis were hewyne in to Yet he knyled and fought on hys kni.
The splendid tower of Widdrington, built in 1341, with lofty battlements, was ruthlessly levelled in 1777, and the shooting box which replaced it has also been demolished. The Widdringtons were devoted to the Stuarts, and taking part in the ill-fated rebellion of 1715, their estates were forfeited to the Crown. Robert Carey, in his hasty ride to Edinburgh to take the news of Elizabeth's death to the least admirable of the Stuarts, stopped at Widdrington and proclaimed King James. He had left London after nine in the morning and reached Widdrington the next night. It was the first place the King drew rein at after leaving Berwick in April 1603, and he was entertained there by Sir Robert Carey and "his virtuous ladye." Less than a hundred years ago there was a curious tradition that Widdrington had at one time been devastated by a foreign invasion. It has been proved that the French landed on the coast by the following extract from the parish book of Billingham, in the county of Durham :
July 31st 1692. Collected in ye parish church of Billingham in ye Countie pallatine of Durham, for a briefe for ye inhabitants of Druidge, Widdrington, Chibborne, for a losse by ye French landing there, three shillings, seven pence.
No history book refers to this, and it would be interesting to know if any remembrance of a two-centuries-ago panic in these hamlets was awakened with the threat of the German invasion recently, and if particular precautions were taken at Druridge Bay. The lieutenant and his bluejackets at Whitehouse sands must surely have hastened to the assistance of Widdrington. What a pity no local chronicler or letter-writer mentions it, or the garrulous pen of Longhoughton's vicar,a century later, might have preserved some story of this historic and unnoticed incident.
Widdrington Church stands on a knoll within the same field where the tower once was, and dates from the latter part of the twelfth century. The chancel and south aisle and south door are fourteenth-century, and in the wall is a piscina of a date no later than 1200. On the north side of the chancel are two recesses which have evidently contained effigies of the Widdringtons ; over the arch of one is the Widdrington arms. There are two old grave covers with crosses engraved in the church. The learned John Horsley, the first historian of Northumberland, was the Nonconformist minister of Widdrington at the beginning of the eighteenth century. The romance of the name Widdrington is attached solely to the family of that name. After hundreds of years' possession they lost all through loyalty to the Jacobite cause. The village is not very interesting.
About a mile from Widdrington is Chibburn Preceptory, a house of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, standing in rich meadows where the Chibburn runs to the sea about half a mile off. This Order originated in the twelfth century, and Chibburn was probably founded by a Widdrington in the fourteenth. The buildings originally enclosed a courtyard and were defended by a moat, of which there are remains on the west and south sides. Part of the interior, which was the chapel, is now a stable, and behind the manger at the east end are the traces of a piscina. On the west side is a block still inhabited. This had been used as a dower house by the Widdrington family. There is much speculation about the dates of the various parts and the uses of the buildings, and it is all of extraordinary interest. There are several ornamented doorways, and some old woodwork. It is unfortunate that it has been adapted now for labourers to live in; but even so, the chants of the Knights Hospitaliers, antique, pious figures, still echo for the solitary listener across the fields.
Towards the southern extremity of Druridge Bay is the fishing village of Cresswell, and looking out to sea from among the trees is the old pele tower of Cresswell. Druridge Bay terminates in the reef at Snab Point, a dangerous rocky coast and the scene of many shipwrecks and brave rescues. Walking along the coast to Newbiggin we pass the Lyne sands, where is a small hamlet called Lyne, and a stream of the same name enters the sea. The large fishing village of Newbiggin, now also a popular watering-place, is only interesting for the prominent position on the promontory of Newbiggin Point of the Church of St. Bartholomew. It is the sailor's notable landmark here. Part of the churchyard has been crumbled away by the waves and the bones of the dead scattered much in the same way as the sea has undermined Dunwich on the Suffolk coast. South of the mouth of the Wansbeck, with Cambois and North Seaton on either side, the sandy coast stretches to the busy town and harbour of Blyth, where the Blyth enters the sea after a short course of twenty miles. It flows past Belsay and then, uniting with the Pont, winds through the lovely vale of Stannington and the " sounding woods " of Plessey referred to in " Marmion." A stretch of sand dunes swept and torn by the wind continues to Seaton Sluice. A feature of the coast between the Blyth and Tyne is the common occurrence of landslips, usually after heavy rainfall. Seaton Sluice used to be an important harbour and bears witness to the enterprise of the Delaval family in the past. One of them placed large sluice gates on the burn which the incoming tide closed. When the tide retreated, the strong current opening the gates carried all before it and thus twice a day washed the haven clean. A later Delaval made a great cutting to the harbour through the solid sandstone cliff. All along the coast-line are prettily wooded denes bordering the streams which rush to the sea. They form a welcome break in these dreary colliery districts. The Abbess in " Marmion," as she sailed to Lindisfarne, " marked amidst its trees the hall of lofty Seaton Delaval." This magnificent mansion was built by Sir John Vanbrugh, the great architect of Blenheim. The first castle, long razed, was begun by Ramon de Laval, one of the companions of the Conqueror, who obtained these lands as reward for his services in subjugating England. Vanbrugh's house suffered from two fires and is now partially ruined.
The little chapel to Our Lady, near it, possibly built in the twelfth century, has a claim to be considered of Saxon origin. This is the opinion of J. E. Morris, who calls it the most interesting ecclesiastical structure in Northumberland. Another authority regards it as a pure and perfect specimen of Norman architecture. Above the west door are six shields with the arms of the Delavals, and the walls are decorated with armour, tattered banners, and escutcheons. There are two recumbent figures, one of a knight in armour, the other a female figure, each with a dog at its feet, Delavals, possibly, of the fourteenth century.
High cliffs from Seaton Sluice continue past Hartley, a quaint village with red-tiled roofs, and beyond it is a continuous stretch of popular coast resorts.
At Whitley Sands, a great resort of trippers, are fine table rocks. All the sea-front here has assumed a suburban aspect, although at Cullercoats the picturesque fishwives strike a primitive note. It is singularly refreshing amidst the bustle of Newcastle Station to see one of these brown-faced, hatless women, largely petticoated, with her creel giving out as she passes the too distinct smell of fins and scales.

Tips to Improve Realizations & Client Service
Obviously, increasing your realizations and improving your client service are critical to maximizing efficiencies. After all, a healthy bottom line and improved client service are both important. With that in mind, consider these tips:
- Tip #1: When you roll-forward your prior year engagements, make sure you get the latest content updates. Also, make sure you keep your responses, where it makes sense. Then, simply review for changes.
- CCH ProSystem fx Knowledge Coach allows updating to the latest content at any time, while keeping your answers and customizations. Given these points, take advantage of the saved time and start your planning!
- Tip #2: Tailor your audit programs in direct response to the client's risk, to avoid over and under auditing. Additionally, doing so gives you the 'best bang for your buck' with your audit procedures.
- By design, Knowledge Coach easily ties risks to audit procedures. As a result, the audits that a firm delivers are higher quality and more efficient. Not surprisingly, these firms also have happier clients.
- Tip #3: Give yourself a head start by reducing your client's PBC list by approximately twenty-five percent through technology.
- CCH Audit Accelerator requests all the data needed from your client's general ledger, accounts payable and accounts receivable sub-ledger. Then, it transforms that data into the most commonly used workpapers, including access to the detailed transactions. The auditor can then see anomalies or risky transactions more quickly by running analytics with TeamMate Analytics. What you gain as a result is:
- More answers at your fingertips
- A more informed view of your client at the beginning of each engagement
- Insights for planning a higher quality audit

Message Actions
It's simple to manage conversations across your social networks in one place with integrated messaging actions across Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
To begin, click the overflow menu in the lower corner of a message to view contextual actions specific to that network. The available actions depend on the network from which the message has been sent. For example, Retweet is an action that's available for a Tweet but not available for an Instagram comment.
Note: Sprout integrates with Google Translate for the language translation feature. Set up your default language in Settings > Personal Settings.
Save Messages
Perhaps you receive a message you'd like to come back to later: maybe it's a Tweet of praise or a suggestion received via Facebook. If you choose Save Message from the overflow menu, you can revisit it in the left navigation bar of the Smart Inbox.
Complete Messages
The Manage Message Status permission lets your team hide messages that require no further action from the Smart Inbox, allowing you to stay focused on what's next and ensuring you don't miss anything important. Configure this permission for users by navigating Account & Settings > Settings > Users & Social Profiles.
To mark a message complete, click the checkmark icon within the message.
Note: By default, clicking the checkmark icon hides the completed message. To view all messages in the Smart Inbox regardless of status, disable the Hide Completed Items toggle beneath the Real-Time Activity Chart.
Hovering over a shaded checkmark icon in a message will show you who performed that action.
Task Messages
As you work through the Smart Inbox, there may be a message that requires a response, but you're not the best person to handle it. You can task messages to team members who are better able to respond.
To assign a task, simply click the pushpin icon on the bottom right of a message window.
The pushpin icon will remain shaded on a message if a task has already been created, and the task assignment details will display when you hover over the icon.
To respond to a message, click the Reply icon in the lower right-hand corner of a message. Sprout provides conversation history between your team and the contact within the reply modal for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram messages. Reference those conversations to engage authentically with your audience as a unified brand.
While the reply experience in Sprout is similar across social networks, there are some notable differences. Let's explore those nuances.
A reply screen opens when you click on the Reply icon. It displays the Tweet you're replying to and a compose box. The dropdown menu above the compose box allows you to select which profile your response will come from.
If the user you're interacting with has open Direct Messages or you have a Direct Message history with the user, you can proactively switch to Direct Message.
Note: If the user you are interacting with does not have open direct messages and/or you do not have a Direct Message history with the user, you may add a DM Link to your reply so that they may take the interaction from public to private. Advanced plan users may select one of two Suggested Replies beneath the Compose box when replying to a Twitter message. Learn more about Suggested Replies.
If your conversation moves to Direct Messages, you can facilitate real-time chat with a user within the reply window. Once the conversation is complete, you may mark all received Direct Messages complete to remove them from the Smart Inbox.
A reply screen opens when you click on the Reply icon. Sprout supports both adding comments to the original post as well as replying to a comment in a thread.
If you have a Private Message history with the user engaging with your brand, you can take the conversation from public to private by clicking Switch to Private Message, or view Private Message history at any time by clicking Private Message History on the left navigation area.
A reply modal opens when you click on the Reply icon. Sprout currently only supports adding new comments to the original post.
To see your previous message history with the selected LinkedIn profile or page, select History in the left navigation area.
A reply screen opens when you click on the Reply icon, and a green bar will highlight that message in the thread. Sprout currently only supports adding new comments to the original post.
To see your previous message history with the selected Instagram profile, click History on the left navigation area.
Note: Due to API limitations, Instagram avatars do not display and profiles will display as Private regardless of actual status. Click on the Instagram handle to be taken to that profile natively.
Confirming an Action Has Been Taken
Once an action has been taken on a message, the corresponding icon will turn blue. Hovering over that icon with your mouse cursor will show you which team member took that action.
Another powerful feature of Sprout's Smart Inbox are Contact Profile views, which we'll explore in the final Engagement Basics article
