The ecologically rich islands of Galápagos are a magical place to observe biodiversity and enjoy many enchanting natural wonders. Galápagos is the most important tourism destination in Ecuador and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. The number of endemic species of flora and fauna inhabiting this paradise, which informed Charles Darwin’s Theory of the Evolution of Species, was given the nickname: The Enchanted Islands.

The geographic isolation that characterizes this archipelago – located about 1000 kilometers off the coast – has transformed the region into a biological laboratory of great interest for both tourists and researchers.  The province of Galápagos consists of 13 large islands, 6 small ones, 107 inlets and countless rocks, all of them of volcanic origin.

From Guayaquil, we flew into the tiny island of Baltra; the world’s first ecological airport. Here, we took a 10-minute ferry over to the largest and most populated island of the Galápagos named Santa Cruz.

To think of the Galápagos, is to think of tortoises. The very name, Galápagos is derived from an old Spanish word referring to their saddle-like shape. So on our way to the town of Puerto Ayora, we stopped at the Fausto Llerena Tortoise Centre – where giant tortoises roam freely. They live there in muddy Mother Nature, so we put on some boots and went exploring. Not soon after we left, we found some – and they were so impressive and gigantic!

We learned that the giant tortoises are the most celebrated animal in the region (about 15,000 to 17,000 are left here) and can grow up to almost 600 pounds (270 kg), with a curved carapace length of about 4 feet (1.22 metres). Surprisingly, they live well over 100 years – some reach it all the way to 200!

On our second day, we took a 40-minute hike up to Tortuga Bay Beach. After about half an hour, we reached a perfectly preserved beach with incredibly high waves. Filou was ready to show off his surfing skills but unfortunately this beach is forbidden to swimmers as it is preserved for wildlife.

After a stroll along this beautiful sandy beach, we reached a gorgeous inlet with stunning blue water. It was here that we were allowed to swim and observe wildlife. We saw a colony of black marine iguanas on the beach, several beautiful pelican birds (one was bathing right in front of Emile & me), a stoic heron and many colourful, large, red Sally Lightfoot Crabs.

Our last day on Santa Cruz, we headed by ferryboat for Las Grietas. Once across the pond,we walked for 20-minutes through enormous cacti and over impressive lava rock formations. Las Grietas, which literally means “the cracks”, is a geologic formation; a canal formed between steep lava rock cliffs on either side. It’s a really beautiful hide-away and unique swimming hole (a mix of salt and fresh water come together here which makes for crystal-clear, snorkeling water).

The kids loved swimming in this cove and saw the most amazing blue-yellow fish. Also, as is commonly done here, Filou jumped into the water pencil-style from a high rock ledge. It was then that he made a remark that describes him so well. He said: “But mom and dad, you know – I was born to risk my life” (with the biggest smile on his face)! Anthony too jumped from the high perch, but without the whimsical quotable that Filou offered!

And after 3 wonderful nights at Casa Tortuga (a gorgeous 2-bedroom bungalow with amazing amenities) (http://www.flipkey.com/puerto-ayora-vacation-rentals/p295060/), we were ready for our 2-hour boat ride to the next island: Isla Isabela.

We heard some stories about what the 2-hour boat ride from Santa Cruz to Isabela was going to be like, but nothing could have prepared us. I would say that this was an “once-in-a-lifetime experience” (but then not in a good way). A small boat with 22 people, trying to work itself through extremely rough waters – I counted 16 baggies of puke; need I say more? (and yes, the boat crew is completely prepared with black plastic bags and Kleenex; they know what’s coming! And the 16 bags were only on the lower deck; God knows what was happening above us).

Very happy that our family kept it together! Our strategy: lots of stomach muscle tensing, staring at the horizon and no breakfast. We were handsomely rewarded with the most stunning blue-green ocean waters, a group of cute penguins swimming alongside our boat, and several sea lions sunbathing on deck, as we entered the harbour of Puerto Villamil.

That afternoon we took our first swim and had the most amazing playtime with sea lions; they were swimming and twirling all around us – just incredible! One sea lion even slightly touched Filou; he loved it and said it had the softest skin.  Emile had the same experience the next day when several sea lions came up close to hang out and play. What a treat!

The following day, we strapped our snorkeling equipment on our backs, rented bikes and went to explore the island.  First we stopped at the local UNESCO funded Tortoise Conservation Centre, which houses various sizes of tortoises; many of which have experienced high levels of poaching within the last 10-20 years. We saw both hatchling tortoises and older breeding animals. Emile particularly liked the little ones.

From there, we passed a beautiful pond with 15 majestic, pink flamingos. Then, heading in the other direction, we rode all along Isabela’s gorgeous coastline to find a good snorkeling spot – which we did locate at Playa del Amor. Here we had a refreshing swim and a chance to observe large marine iguanas up-close.

All in all it was a lovely, relaxing day of observing wildlife and taking in scenery. However, the next day was even better for “los animales”. We booked a snorkeling tour with Rosedelco Tours and were off to Los Túnelos.

Los Túnelos

After a thrilling, 45-minute boat ride with Captain Leonardo (who was the spitting image of John Travolta) & crew – we arrived at our first snorkeling destination. Here, we quickly spotted several large Manta and Golden Rays. Then we moved on, to locate the most anticipated  marine species of all (especially by the boys); the White Tip Reef Shark! We first saw some hiding in a cave, but quickly we had them swimming right by us. Apparently these sharks are rarely aggressive towards humans as they have an abundance of food in the area, but still… pretty exhilarating to see several 5-foot sharks swim right underneath you!

To prove we really swam with them, here’s a shot of a couple of White Tip Reef Sharks.

Next, we swam against some strong currents (kudos to the kids for keeping up), and arrived at the area of the giant tortoises. It was very cool to see these enormous, pre-historic animals majestically float in the water: especially as they come right up to you.

Then it was break-time and we got back onto our boat for a delicious sandwich lunch and some local, sweet treats. Round two of snorkelling was aimed at spotting the impressively, large Pacific Sea horse (of which we saw several). To conclude the snorkelling part of the tour, Emile braved deep waters to swim under several arched rock formations.

A very large Pacific Seahorse

After being warmed-up on our boat, we made one last stop at the area known as Los Túnelos. It is here that lava has formed beautiful arcs in the ocean. We got off to walk around a bit, take in the scenery and spot the famous Galápagos Blue-Footed Booby birds.

Filou who loves “boobies”

These birds, especially the males, take great pride in their fabulous feet – especially during mating season, as the bluer the feet the more attractive the male is considered to be. The colour of their webbed feet actually comes from carotenoid pigments that are obtained from their fresh fish diet. And the healthier the boobies are, the bluer their feet.

Also, boobies nest on land and lay only 1-2 eggs each year (of which only the strongest hatchling will survive). Therefore, it was pretty special for us to see a set of boobies safeguarding their egg.

From Isabela, we took a flight, on board a 6-seater airplane (pilot included), to the next and final island: San Cristobál. The ride was thrilling, especially for Emile who sat in front with the pilot (window open and all!). As you can probably imagine, flying over the Galápagos Islands, gave us the opportunity to take in some magnificent views.

Emile Airplane

Once on the island, we jumped right in with a day tour to the most popular snorkeling spot in the area: Ln Dormido (also called Kicker Rock). We booked with Ln Dormido Expeditions and took a fabulous catamaran boat to this popular landmark and snorkeling spot. It is here that two majestic volcanic rocks (remains of a lava rock, split in two) tower about 140 metres tall above the ocean.

When viewed from the south, the formation looks like a sleeping lion, hence the name Spanish name Ln Dormido, while from another side it looks more like a boot (soccer shoe?), hence the English name Kicker Rock. Apart from its scenic beauty, Kicker Rock is the best place to spot sharks in the Galápagos, so of course the boys were excited to go!

We were instructed to swim through the narrow channel between the two rocks. The water was crystal-clear in there, and the bluest we’ve ever seen. All along the rocks, we found the most magnificent brightly coloured fish, including the spotted Eagle Ray (we saw a massive one!) and many sharks. We saw several Galápagos sharks (and some Black Tips), but unfortunately the Hammerheads were not around during our swim; these were the ones Emile really wanted to see!

Popular snorkeling spot: León Dormido or Kicker Rock

Nevertheless, we had a fantastic day in the water – in certain spots it looked like we were floating over a carpet of fish (so many of them together)….. and of course swimming with the many tortoises and sea lions was phenomenal; they are just so majestic and impressive in the water.

The next day, we chilled out with some great new Ecuadorian-German friends; Bastienne, Pablo and their sons Martine and David.  We first met this lovely family on Isabela and now again on San Cristobál. We had stimulating conversations about sustainability, business and life with them. They live in Quito but run a fantastic lodge in the Amazon Jungle, called Huasquilla Amazon Lodge. Check this out: http://www.huasquila.com

On our winding path leading to Las Tierretas, we visited the Galápagos National Park Visitor Centre with them. Here, we learned about the natural processes that have made the Galápagos such a unique place (a complete and documented history of the Galápagos, its ecosystems, flora and fauna was presented here). As well, there was lots of information about the efforts underway to protect and preserve the islands.

Then the kids were ready for their last snorkel. And what an amazing one it was – almost like a dance with baby sea lions (Filou got to use the GoPro under water camera for the first time and captured some great shots).

It was fitting that we ended with sea lions as the island of San Cristobál, is particularly known for them. We got to observe many up-close, both in and out of the water. Our conclusion is this; as majestic as sea lions are in the water, as sleepy, coughing, stinky and awkward they are on land. There are so many of them in the centre of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno that you have to be seriously careful sitting down on a bench as it might be taken!

The beaches and shores of San Cristobál are filled with sea lions

San Cristobal, the capital of EL PARAISO, quickly became our Galápagos favorite. Efforts put forth to keep this earthly paradise intact have been great; a wonderful conservation example indeed and perfect finale to our REgeneration Tour (http://the-regeneration.com).

And now, I sit here on our 30th and last world tour flight, thinking of my very first international flight to Portugal when I was only 11 years old. I vividly remember the excitement of soaring higher and higher and seeing that beautiful white blanket of clouds that just makes you want you to jump in.

Now here, some 30 years later, I am once again looking out the window of an airplane, marveling at that gorgeous sky (with stunning red glow as the sun is just rising) and that same tingling, travel excitement, feeling is rising. I envision and hope that my boys will have similar vivid memories of their first travel experiences; we have certainly given them some to remember this year.

The world is stunningly beautiful and so worthy of exploring and protecting. Thank you Galápagos, your paradise was our “icing on the cake”; a fitting end to an incredible year of adventure, exploration and unforgettable world-travel with my three wonderful men – for which I am more grateful than can ever be expressed….Y.O.L.O!

Note: There will be one more blog that recaps our round-the-world-trip reflections and thoughts.

FANG Stocks

So if you like the stock market, you've probably heard about the stocks known
by the acronym: FANG
which represents, if i am correct....

Facebook  (FB)
Apple        (AAPL)
Netflix       (NFLX)
Google       (GOOG)(GOOGL)

What do you think of each item on that list?
One thought I had today, is that which would you describe as predominantly an "app"?
If I really reduce each stock down to it's bare bones, I think that yes, three of the above on the list
began their economic journey's as App-based companies.... yes, software based entities.

The only company on this list that is not known predominantly as an "app" is  the company
known as "Apple". (AAPL)
Apple's brand is associated with its hardware even more than it is known for it's software. It has a beautiful blend of both in it's unique  niche market. I find it amazing to note that as of today's market close, Apple's market cap was at $946.2 billion dollars. That's almost a trillion dollar valuation. Wow.
All four companies on FANG list have multi billion dollar market caps. Incredible chunks of the worldwide economy. It is not only Americans who have vested interest in these enormous economic powerhouses....as they are a global phenomenon.

Well that's all for now. I do so enjoy just thinking aloud with you.

Boat Insurance

Boat Insurance provides an ideal peace of mind for lovers of the water who own a boat or recreational watercraft. From the fisherman to the family that enjoys taking their boat out to the lake on the weekends, this policy can give you the protection that allows the fun to continue uninterrupted. Like insurance for your car or truck, you enjoy the same protection and added benefits that most traditional policies are able to deliver. Insurance of this kind also works in ways that are very similar to other insurance policies. You still make annual payments, and you pay a deductible in order for your coverage to provide its benefits when you make a claim.

There are many different types of policies that are available in this general area of insurance as well. While there can be many small differences from one policy to the next, there are some general policies that differ according to the type of boat or recreational vehicle that you are insuring. General watercraft insurance is available, however, you can also get specialized plans that include coverage for jet boats, sailboats, and fishing boats. The policies can vary in their annual payments, depending on the type of boat, its market value, the amount of use it receives, and many other variables.

You will receive some great added benefits with these policies, depending on the type of coverage that you choose. These special services for watercraft include on-water towing, total-loss replacement, minor damage coverage, and much more. Recreational Vehicles Insurance provides you with plenty of options that will be there for you when accidents happen on the water. Also among the specialized coverage plans are policies such as those related directly to hurricanes. These plans can protect your vehicle before, during, and after a storm. When you begin looking into policies, it is important to look at all the options laid out before you. Some of the most popular forms of coverage will include items such as fuel-spill protection and wreckage removal. Finally, you can further refine your policy by specifying policies that only cover physical damages to the craft or those that only cover engine and motor problems.

Business Insurance

Business Insurance Policy
Entrepreneurs starting businesses often go all in. They cash out savings, charge up credit cards and take out loans. They sink it all into the company, betting they have the business smarts to build a successful business. Of course, theyre also betting that fate will cooperate. Flood, fire, wind; lawsuits, injuries, death — catastrophes wipe out business assets. Against this risk, businesses purchase insurance.

Paranoid business owners are in luck: Business insurance exists for any risk an owner can imagine. The range of offerings means that the cost of policies and the damage each insures against differs. Businesses must confer with insurance agents to determine the right combination of cost and coverage type.

Business insurance types include general, product, and professional liability insurance; commercial property insurance and home-based business insurance. General liability insurance covers the expense of legal problems, paying settlements, judgments and the cost of defending lawsuits, for instance.

Product liability insurance absorbs financial responsibility if a product harms someone. For companies providing services, professional liability insurance covers the cost of malpractice, errors and negligence.

Commercial property insurance covers the loss or damage of business property. Property not only includes tangible things such as equipment, but also income loss and business interruption. Typically, businesses purchase all-risk property insurance. It protects against a wide variety of dangers such as wind, flood and vandalism, unless the policy specifically excludes a peril. Businesses more likely to fall victim to specific problems may purchase peril-specific policies, which insure against a specific danger named in the policy. Home-based businesses may buy insurance to cover liabilities that homeowners policies may not cover.

State law decides which businesses must carry insurance and what kind it must be. Certain activities — for instance, using a business vehicle — may trigger an insurance requirement. States typically dont require it, though, unless the company employs workers. Then the business must carry workers’ compensation, unemployment and, in some areas, disability insurance.

As a condition of participation, banks and investors might also require insurance. They may ask partners to purchase life insurance, for instance, or insure against certain disasters.

A Friday Visit with Jim Korkis: Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue

By Dave Shute

Welcome back to Fridays with Jim Korkis! Jim, the dean of Disney historians and author of Jim’s Gems in The easy Guide, writes about Walt Disney World history every Friday on

By Jim Korkis

“Whoop-de-doo”, and its variant “hoop-de-doo”, is a popular old-fashioned expression meaning frenzied activity or excitement. That phrase became the cornerstone of one of Walt Disney World’s most beloved nighttime entertainment experiences, the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue.

The show opened June 14, 1974, and continues to be performed in Pioneer Hall at the Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground to this day.

It was inspired by the success of the South Seas Luau at the Polynesian Village Resort and the need to find a project for the Walt Disney World Fine Arts College Workshop that supplied an inexpensive and eager cast for the new show.

Jim Korkis on the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue from

The musical was developed by Robert Jani, Ron Miziker, Tom Adair, Paul Suter and Larry Billman. It was a highly collaborative effort, including contributions from the original performers as well. Billman was the director and Forrest Bahruth was the choreographer.

The premise of the show is that a stagecoach of performers on their way to another engagement (and an actual stagecoach used to be positioned outside of Pioneer Hall to support that storyline) had broken down.

They come inside the dining hall to entertain while their stagecoach is being repaired and the guests enjoy an all-you-can-eat meal of fried chicken, ribs, strawberry shortcake and more between the corn-pone vaudeville acts.

Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground opened November 19, 1971. When Pioneer Hall officially opened April 1, 1974, it was called the Fort Wilderness Dining Hall. The area was intended to be used as a dining venue for breakfast and lunch as an extension of the adjacent Crockett’s Tavern.

At night there would be animal lectures and demonstrations from animals brought over from nearby Discovery Island. Guests would also be able to play games and perhaps enjoy some musical talent like a washboard band. In addition, a huge screen would show some of the True-Life Adventures documentary films made by the Disney Studio in the 1950s and 1960s.

Built with 1,283 hand-fitted Western white pine logs from Montana and 70 tons of rare ebony stone for pillars from North Carolina, the two-story building was modeled after a Northwest Territory Lodge from the late 1800s.

Walt Disney World had no expectations for the show other than trying to temporarily fill an operational need. In fact, many people involved in the show felt it would be cancelled in the first few weeks or simply cancelled after its initial eleven weeks when the students returned to school.

By the end of summer, it was such an unqualified success that the roles were staffed with professional performers beginning September 5, 1974.

Over the years, a few changes have been made in the original show. For instance, in the beginning and until 1979, it was apple pie and not strawberry shortcake that was served as dessert. As a result the song “Apple Pie Hoedown” was replaced with “Strawberry Short Cake Walk”.

However, the most significant change happened in 2011. The song “Hoop-Dee-Doo” (sometimes called the “Hoop-Dee-Doo Polka”) used in the show was composed by Milton DeLugg with lyrics by Frank Loesser, and was first published in 1950. When the song was used in the Hoop-Dee-Doo, the lyrics were rewritten to reflect the show, but the upbeat tune remained intact.

The only problem was that in the rush to put together a temporary patchwork show, it had not occurred to anyone at Disney to get proper clearance for the use of the song. When the situation came to light, during the late summer of 2011, the popular theme song was replaced with one written specifically for Disney that still included the phrase Hoop-De-Doo.

The Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue is the longest continuously running musical stage show in history after more than forty years and more than 38,000 performances — with no signs of stopping.

Vanum – Burning Arrow Review

FAST RITES: because sometimes brevity is fundamental.

Vanum, a collaboration between Michael Rekevics (Fell Voices, Vorde, others) and Kyle Morgan (Ash Borer, Predatory Light, also others), released a promising black metal album in 2015’s Realm of Sacrifice. It revealed a talent for injecting Drudkh-ish Eastern Euro sounds with a touch of the Pacific Northwest, something that hasn’t been lost on their latest release, the Burning Arrow EP.

If anything, Vanum have honed their melancholy aura by adding in even more “traditional” metal elements, while also showing a bit more efficiency (the songs aren’t quite as long). The true quality of the EP, however, is in how successfully it weaves a complete, dynamic arc over just short of 25 minutes. Opener “Watcher in the Eastern Sky” begins quite understated, spending as much time sounding like doom or folk-influenced NWOBHM as it does black metal, only hinting at the band’s full intensity. “Immortal Will” then kicks it up a notch, hitting more of the sea shanty rhythms and blasts before “Spring of Life” shows the band in full epic-melodic black metal mode, with desperation and finality and sadness and triumph all wrapped into a pretty blazing nine minute package.

All three individual songs are strong, but when taken as a whole, Burning Arrow shows notable growth for the duo. Vanum isn’t going to change the black metal landscape, but their natural beauty and knack for dynamics should please more than just a few ears.

Original release date: April 1, 2017. CD release date: August 25, 2017.
Labels: Psychic Violence Records (LP) and Eisenwald (CD).

Why the Bradley Method®? This is my story.

keep calm

I’m a natural childbirth educator. I never thought that I would become an advocate for women in their most vulnerable and their strongest moments–pregnancy and childbirth! So as I meet and talk to more and more mothers, I feel so lucky that I had my natural childbirth experience with my first child. I didn’t have to go through a traumatising forceps delivery, or an emergency c-section, to look more into birth and end up discovering what and how to achieve a natural and drug-free childbirth. I didn’t have to jump through hoops like VBAC candidates do to attempt a natural childbirth. My shot at a natural birth was more straight-forward and easier than those who had their first child via a traumatising experience. Continue reading

Winner of 2015 Breastfeeding Photo Shoot Giveaway’s Photos!

Southampton-based photographer, Lillian Sediles (lilliansediles.com), took these gorgeous photos of a family’s breastfeeding journey.

Breastfeeding is difficult, though natural. It’s the best way to feed a baby. Kim makes it look so easy, though as a breastfeeding mum, I know it has its difficult times! In the early stages, I remember feeling like a cow or a milk-machine; that my sole purpose in life was to create milk to feed my baby. In the later stages, I wonder if I’ll ever be able to stop breastfeeding! Though in every stage, I always find moments of warmth, love, thankfulness, and closeness as I nurse my baby. I hope these photos are a reminder of how special breastfeeding is and also an encouragement to mums out there to keep at it!

Congratulations to all breastfeeding mums out there, these photos are in honour of you and in celebration of National Breastfeeding Week!

Breastfeeding Photo Shoot GIVEAWAY 2015!

Why Most Women “Can’t” Breastfeed

Este artículo en Español –> https://yournaturalbirth.co.uk/2015/10/26/por-que-la-mayoria-de-las-mujeres-no-pueden-amamantar/Photo Credit: Lillian Sediles Photography | lilliansediles.comBreastfeeding versus Formula Feeding is a hot debate. Mothers feel judged, whether they choose to breastfeed or not, and we are in the midst of Mommy Wars. Mothers who breastfeed feel like society shames them for feeding in public. Mothers who formula feed feel like they are lambasted by lactivists for ‘being lazy’ or even ‘poisoning‘ their child. I’d like to shed some light on why so many mothers cannot breastfeed.

7 Things Hospitals Do During Labour That You Are Told to Avoid While Pregnant (with Pictures)

There are some strange things happening in our society with regards to birth. Women feel less and less able to birth naturally, yet industrialised countries like the US and the UK are seeing maternal and infant mortality rates on the rise. What is going on? I’d like to present 7 Things that hospitals do for labouring women that are NOT RECOMMENDED for pregnant women! It doesn’t make sense that these things are overlooked and treated so lightly. If they are harmful to a pregnant mother, they are also harmful to her in her labouring state, and therefore should be AVOIDED. Continue reading

9 Things that can lead to Failure to Progress (FTP)

woman-in-labourWhat is Failure to Progress? According to doctors and midwives, Failure to Progress is also known as Prolonged Labour, when labour lasts for approximately 20 hours or more after regular contractions begin, and approximately 14 hours or more if you’ve given birth previously. Prolonged latent phase happens during first stage labour where mother can get exhausted and emotionally drained, and prolonged labour during second stage can be a “cause for concern.”

According to WebMD, Prolonged labour may happen if:

  • The baby is very big and cannot move through the birth canal. (Cephalopelvic disproportion)
  • The baby is in an abnormal position. Normally, the baby is head-down facing your back. (Posterior presentation: back-to-back)
  • The birth canal is too small for the baby to move through. (Android pelvis, narrow pelvis)
  • Your contractions are very weak. (Inefficient contractions)

NOW HERE’S the HARD PART. Scratch everything that I just stated up there and everything that you hear from doctors and midwives. Remember, they’re a part of a system, either hospital, birth centre, or NHS and they need to be able to put mothers on a schedule, a timeline, and checklist, so they can do their job.

Do You Have to be a Duchess to Get the Birth You Want?

Royal-BabyOn 2nd May 2015, the nation celebrated the birth of the Princess of Cambridge, Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana! What was on everyone’s minds at the presentation of the baby just 10 hours after birth? How did Kate look so good?

Daily Mail’s “Call the Midwife” article stated,

Kate had a meticulous birth plan. She had opted to be seen first by the midwives, and as a source said: ‘What the duchess wants, the duchess gets.’

I’d venture to say, WHAT THE MOTHER WANTS, THE MOTHER GETS! What’s the actual difference between Kate and mothers all around the world? Nothing! Does she have superhuman powers? Of course not! There was no special way she got that baby out of her body that other mothers don’t have. What she did have, though, is the midwives’, doctors’, and Wills’ RESPECT to do what she wished regarding her birth. Every mother deserves this kind of respect, to be treated like a duchess at the time of labour and birth.

If a Duchess can have the birth she wants, can you? Yes! Here’s how: Continue reading

Does Induction Really REDUCE C-Section Risk?

induction-training1Several weeks ago, I came across a claim that Induction reduces the risk of C-section! I sincerely thought, this must be a joke; however, it was referencing an actual journal publication. You can find the actual publication here.

Since I’ve always heard people say, “I had to be induced, and then it ended in c-section,” I thought I would do a series of polls to see if there was any indication that induction REDUCED the number of c-sections.

First, I did a poll directed to those mothers who ended up with emergency c-sections to see how many of them received drugs to induce. You can find the results here“If your birth ended in an emergency c-section, were you given any drugs to start labour or speed up labour prior to the need for a c-section?” Results: 68% Yes to 32% No.  Continue reading

Results from Last Week’s Poll: If you did NOT receive drugs to induce, what was the delivery method?

I apologise for posting these results so late. With 203 votes, the voting results were a landslide for Vaginal Only 85%! See below for the results:

Screen Shot 2015-04-28 at 1.08.20 PMIf you just split the results into two categories: Vaginal versus C-Section, 93% were delivered vaginally whereas only 7% were delivered via c-section. This is a SIGNIFICANT difference! Following this post, I will discuss what implications this may have regarding induction and c-section.

You are here: Home FAQ FAQ Understanding Charitable Remainder Trusts 12. Do I still have some control?

12. Do I still have some control?

Yes. For as long as you live, the trustee you select — not the charity — controls the assets. Your trustee must follow the instructions you put in your trust. You can retain the right to change the trustee if you become dissatisfied. You can also change the charity (to another qualified charity) without losing the tax advantages.

10 Most Instagrammable Places in Virginia

Shenandoah’s Beauty at Any Shutter Speed

    Virginia, on America’s east coast, is one of the 4 commonwealth states in the US that is steeped in colonial history. It’s the residential address of many US presidents, with hundreds of manors, mansions, stately homes, as well as the largest naval base in the country.

    This region is where the first of the English settlers dropped anchor and made Virginia their permanent home. Here, you’ll find a blend of Old-World charm, country life, modern living, and gorgeous nature scenes that is unrivalled by any other place. Here are the 10 winsome picks from the Old Dominion state that is sure to delight your IG followers.

    The handsome homes of Williamsburg

    Traditional masonry and Old-World charm

    Williamsburg is a colonial town with more than 80 original buildings constructed in the 1700s. The Governor's Palace is a 3,400 sq. ft. manor with meticulous details in the dark wood panelling, the octagonal bathhouse, the stable and carriage house, stone unicorns, and the maze gardens patterned after the one in England’s Hampton Court.

    Merchant’s Square, known as downtown Williamsburg, is the main street with an old town atmosphere. The shop houses were, in part, funded by philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and the city planners have kept its architectural style consistent with the rest of the original structures in the surrounding neighbourhoods. Walk and shop for some gourmet cheese, handmade candies, wine, and authentic merchandise imported from Ireland and Scotland.

    Perfect panoramas on Virginia Beach

    Violet skies, blue sea and cool graffiti

    Virginia Beach is known for its fresh oysters, fishing piers, and the King Neptune sculpture. Along 31st Street, walk on the boardwalk and see the 34-feet King Neptune statue, cast in 12 tons of bronze and stone, a symbol of maritime legacy and marine conservation. On 18th Street, the ViBE Creative District is a modern arts complex with outdoor exhibitions like the mural festival, art pop-up shows and music performances. While here, stop at Ocean Eddies for some crab cakes and cheese curds with spectacular views.

    This region has an average of 215 sunny days per year, but you’ll find it crowded almost year-round. Only a few miles away are the Chesapeake Bay and Sandbridge Beach that are pristine and a bit more secluded.

    Cute cafes, book stores and objet d'art in Old Town

    Whimsical storefronts on cobblestone streets

    Located on the Potomac River, Old Town is only 7 miles from downtown DC, and 5 miles south of the US Pentagon. This historic part of Alexandria is called Old Town, and its main walking area, King Street, is an elegant area of row houses with antique shops, galleries, and bookstores built with bricks and original cobblestones.

    Walk along Prince Street towards the waterfront for views of steamship ferries and the Old Dominion Boat Club. A few blocks north is the Torpedo Factory Art Center that has hundreds of resident artists and a huge exhibition space. Head west towards the town square to see the George Washington townhouse, built by Washington himself, and the nearby Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum, a Quaker pharmacy operated in the 1790s that has herbal botanicals, vintage hand-blown glass and medical tools.

    Rainbow cupcakes and flawlessly glazed donuts

    Photogenic foods of downtown Richmond

    Stop by Virginia’s state capital, Richmond, a colonial town that’s been around since the 1700s. It earned the name from the James River, as it's strikingly similar to Richmond Hill on the Thames River of London.

    In Richmond, you’ll find countless gourmet food that’s more than just eye candy. For cafes and desserts, walk along the Museum district and the Fan district. Pearl’s Bake Shoppe has gingerbread cookies, macarons, and pastel-coloured cupcakes, with frostings like the lavender honey buttercream and brown sugar bourbon. Dutch & Co does a pretty presentation of the Mahi squash blossom and the Honeypot set. Shyndigz is a dessert shop with decadent cakes that goes up to 8 layers, and Whisk has French eclairs and dainty macarons that are gluten-free.

    The purple hues of White Oak Lavender Farm

    Fragrant flowers, alpacas and vineyards

    Not far from the Shenandoah National Park, White Oak Lavender Farm is a slice of Provence that’s home-grown in Virginia. Aside from the usual purple, some of the lavender flowers also bloom in white and pink. For the best time to visit, come around late June to view the colours in full bloom and learn about the harvesting, the steaming and the oil distillery process, while sampling their famous lavender ice cream. From lavender jelly to lavender coffee, this place pretty much has everything infused in lavender.

    Adjacent to this place is the Purple Wolf Vineyard, another farm space where you can play with chickens, alpacas, sheep, and ponies. Visit their tasting room and try their Riesling, Royale Velvet reds, and of course, lavender-infused wines. The tasting course is around $10-15 per person.

    Standing in awe in the Shenandoah Caverns

    The complex beauty of cave rocks

    Stumbled upon in the 1880s during the railroad construction, the Shenandoah Caverns is located in northern Virginia. Whether it’s winter or summer, the inside of the caves are at a consistent 56F degrees, and even if you visit on a rainy day, it takes a few days for the rain to seep into the caverns. The cave interior is made up of many years of iron oxide, sulphur, and calcium carbonate deposits. Locals say that if you get hit by a drop of the seeping cavern water, it's considered good luck, as they’re called 'cave kisses.'

    Another cave site, 18 miles away, is the Luray Caverns. This area is even more complex, with spectacular and spiky low-hanging ceilings. One of the highlights, the Wishing Well, is one of the cave rooms accentuated by blue lighting that make this place a sight out of a science fiction novel. However, not all areas are well-lit, so be careful of your head while passing through.

    The ever-changing colours of Blue Ridge

    The many shades of blue on Blue Ridge Mountain

    The beauty of Blue Ridge mountain range in Roanoke, Virginia, can be enjoyed year-round, with the seasonal changes of spring flowers, fall foliage to winter frosts. While spring flowers can be viewed from early April to early June, Roanoke is mostly known as one of the country’s best fall destinations, best seen in late October, with the most popular driving routes through the counties of Craig, Giles, Bland, and Smyth, which takes about 4 hours of driving.

    The Blue Ridge Parkway is another scenic drive that stretches 470 miles. This area is known for its landmark water mill in the meadows, the Mabry Mill, one of the most visited and most photographed spots in the Blue Ridge area.

    Barn houses and cute dogs at Abingdon Vineyards

    Evening wine and brilliant sunsets

    Sitting on 13 acres of grapes in southwest Virginia, Abingdon Vineyards is a beautiful spot on the South Holston River, where 5 river trails converge. The tasting room is a gorgeous property on the meadows, with the back patio looking over the streams. Here, you can spot a few raccoons, wild turkeys and deer while sipping wine after a day’s hike along the Virginia Creeper Trail.

    To catch a ripe vineyard view, visit before its fall harvest which is around September to October. While here in Abingdon, don’t miss the chance to dine at the historic Tavern Restaurant, about 8 miles away. This tavern was built since 1779 as a post office and an overnight inn for horse carriages.

    Boardwalks and bright foliage on the Virginia Creeper Trail

    Trek along Abingdon’s meadows and streams

    A beautiful walk on the Appalachian Mountains is the Virginia Creeper Trail, located in Abingdon, Virginia. This name started from the trains that used to carry timber and iron that slowly moved up the mountains. With its 34-mile path, it’s recommended that visitors rent a bike for a full experience that will take you from the board path down to the creeks.

    For an easy hike, take the park shuttle to the Whitetop Station where the trail leads downhill, passing the meadows, spruce trees, farms and barnyards, and all the way down to the rushing streams. The area has great facilities along the trail with convenience stores, cafes and an ice cream shop. A good time to visit is from March to November, with its peak foliage time around October. Also, rainy days can spoil the fun as some trails can be muddy, so do plan ahead.

    The bright lights on the Norfolk pier

    Bright nights on the Waterside district

    Norfolk, Virginia has 144 miles of shoreline dotted with beautiful inland towns and historic sites. There are so many photogenic spots, like the Norfolk Botanical Garden or the Nauticus maritime museum where you can play with old navy and submarine equipment.

    The Waterside district is a 3-mile promenade with a vibrant scene that’s active from morning to night. See the Battleship Wisconsin and sail on the graceful American Rover at Town Point Park. You can also take a boat tour out to the Naval Station of Norfolk, the largest naval station in the world. The Ocean View Fishing Pier has great water views, where you can catch fish, snag a few crabs, and eat at the rooftop diner. Clementine’s on the Lafayette River serves great barbequed scallops and seafood bouillabaisse, while the A.W. Shucks Raw Bar and Grill serves fresh, juicy oysters and all-you-can-eat crab legs.

a guy and a bee

a collection of random thoughts and ideas from me, her, and sometimes us

Monday: BBA and BBB

BBA: good things today. He has been completely weaned off of supplemental oxygen and he is breathing great. And his nose is so little and looks just like BBB’s without the cannula. They significantly decreased his glucose IV as a result of consistently good blood sugar readings. They ran the new PICC line early this morning and the blood thinner is working to break up the clot around his original line. They should be able to take it out in the next day or so. He is eating really well and was awake and calm today. Results from the repeat eccocardiogram should be back tomorrow. And he looks like dad…aka awesome; nose is all mom though.

BBB: he spent the afternoon awake and curious. Just fell asleep and is snoring like a champ…just like dad.

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

"After Ganon was defeated by Link, the remaining Malice pulled itself together to form this bestial creature. Its appearance and fiendish magic earned it the name of Dark Beast. This form is considered to be Ganon's original, although in this state, his awareness has been consumed entirely by Malice, and all he knows is a desire to rampage and destroy."
Hyrule Compendium

Dark Beast Ganon (魔獣ガノン Majū Ganon?, Demonic Beast Ganon) is the final boss in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Like his incarnation from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Ganon appears as a monstrous boar demon with a mane of violet flames and a body made of pure Malice. Link fights Ganon from the back of his horse while using the Bow of Light provided by Zelda.

Despite his intimidating appearance, Dark Beast Ganon is a large, slow target. His only means of hurting Link are stomping on him with his massive hooves and firing a beam of dark purple energy from his mouth; both are heavily telegraphed and easily avoided at a distance. After a while, Zelda will use her magic to create glowing sigils on Ganon's body; Link must shoot these spots with the Bow of Light to damage his calamitous foe. Initially, there are six sigils for Link to shoot (three on either side of Ganon's body), and he can shoot up to three of them at a time. After losing about three-quarters of its health, a new sigil appears on the boss's underside, forcing Link to get closer in order to line up his shot.

Once the sigil on his underside has been hit, Ganon will open a seam on his back, revealing a cluster of demonic eyes that Zelda describes as his core essence. To finish the fight, Link must fire one last Light Arrow into the largest of the eyes; this can be done with a well-aimed shot from the ground, but the easier tactic is to paraglide upwards with the updrafts created in the wake of the Dark Beast's beam attack - alternately, Revali's Gale can be used. No matter how Link does it, the final shot from the Bow of Light weakens Ganon to the point where Zelda can break free of his body and finish him off with the divine power of Hylia.

According to Zelda just prior to the boss fight, when transforming into Dark Beast Ganon, the demon king gave up on trying to reincarnate himself and instead poured all of his strength into a final attempt to lay waste to Hyrule. It is unclear exactly what this means; during the ending, Zelda notes that she and Link have stopped Ganon for now, implying that the Calamity is not permanently dealt with. With these two comments taken into consideration, the implication may be that Ganon's transformation into the Dark Beast has effectively "trapped" him in his current state - although he may yet be able to return, he will never be able to take any form other than a mindless force of destruction. In the Japanese version, however, it was mentioned that Ganon assumed this form specifically because he refused to give up on reincarnating himself.

Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.

ImageDue to a serendipitous alignment of schedules and events I got to spend some time in the world of my brother Bob this week. Technically I got to spend some time in a place where my world and my brother Bob’s world intersect. Bob Franzosa is a professor of mathematics at the University of Maine in Orono. His specialty is in topology. This past week he was in Boston attending the largest annual mathematics meeting in the world held at the Hynes Convention  center. As I am currently “between  assignments” I had the time available to join him there. On Wednesday I attended the talk he gave on his lifetime passion “The Baseball Simulator” which was born as a dice game he created in the 1960’s and grew into an interesting tool to evaluate baseball using minimal statistics. Yesterday I sat in with him on a session dedicated to puzzles. While the relevance of the orthoganality of Magic Sudoku puzzles was a bit lost on me, the discussions on the construction and solving of puzzles was right up my alley….and the excitement over the potential proof of the 17-clue minimum for sudoku was great. Sometimes the dice of the universe give you a critical miss but it is ok because you find that the next roll yields something even better.

    This was the talk given by Dan Katz? He is an acquaintance of mine, both of us in the National Puzzlers League and do the MIT Mystery Hunt (which is next weekend) and such too.

    I didn’t see his name there. One of these years I’ll get myself on a team for the Puzzle Hunt…..

Auto-update/make/compile script for Lilypond: Autolily

UPDATE July 24, 2010: This post is now totally obsolete. See this post instead.

I’ve so far used Lilypond twice to make nice, clean music of some classical pieces. If you don’t know what Lilypond is already, it is basically LaTeX, but for music. Since the music notation style is almost always the same across many different genres, LaTeX’s “what you see is what you mean” philosophy applies particularly well to your sheetmusic-making needs.

The basic way you work is — create an .ly file pursuant to the lilypond format, then save it, then call “lilypond [filename]” on it from the terminal, which will generate a .pdf, .ps, and .midi output all for you (that is, if you have a “\layout {}” and also a “\midi {}” in you “\score {}”). If you have dual monitors, then you can open up the .pdf file with evince, and then evince will automatically update to the latest .pdf version by itself (no need to close and re-open the same generated .pdf file).

This workflow is nice, but it could be better. For one, it takes time to switch windows and invoke “lilypond [filename]” every time you want to see a small change done. For me, I like to make sure at least every 1/2 measure or so that what I put in is correct. Thus, switching back and forth between all these windows every 30 seconds makes the whole process very time consuming.

So I wrote a small ruby script (I call it “Autolily”) to automatically invoke lilypond for me:

 1 #!/usr/bin/ruby
 2 #===============================================================================================================#
 3 # Program name: Autolily                                                                                #
 4 # LICENSE: PUBLIC DOMAIN                                                                                #
 5 # This program takes 1 argument, the name of a lilypond file (*.ly), and watches it for changes every 1 second. #
 6 # If there has been any change, it simply calls lilypond on it to create a new .pdf/.ps/.midi of it.            #
 7 #                                                                                #
 8 # Place this script somewhere, like in ~/scripts                                                                #
 9 # Then, open up a terminal and call it like so: ~/scripts/autolily.rb [lilypond file]                           #
10 # Be sure to call it from the directory where the lilypond file is located -- i.e., don't do [path/to/file]     #
11 #                                                                                #
12 # To exit, type CTRL-C.                                                                                #
13 #===============================================================================================================#
15 if ARGV.size > 0
16     file = ARGV.shift
17     file_data_orig = ""
18     `ls --full-time`.split("\n").each do |line|
19         if line.split(/\s/).last == file
20             file_data_orig = line
21             break
22         end
23     end
24     file_data_new = ""
26     # enter infinite loop -- keep compiling the given lilypond file if it has changed in the past 1 second
27     while true
28         # detect the file size and also timestamp
29         lsarr = `ls --full-time`.split("\n")
30         lsarr.shift # get rid of the first line, since that is the size of all the files in the directory
32         # find our file from ls's output!
33         lsarr.each do |line|
34             if line.split(/\s/).last == file
35                 file_data_new = line
36                 break
37             end
38         end
40         # if there is any change detected, run lilypond on it
41         if file_data_orig != file_data_new
42             puts "\n\e[1;4;38;5;226mAutolily: Change detected in given file; invoking lilypond...\e[0m\n"
43             `lilypond "#{file}"`
44             file_data_orig = file_data_new
45         end
46         sleep 1
47     end
48 else
49     puts "No .ly file specified.\n"
50 end

This very simple script is an infinite loop which takes snapshots of the output of the “ls” command every second, and monitors any changes. Only the output line for the given lilypond file is monitored. Whenever this single line changes (any time you save your file, thus changing the modification timestamp of the file), the “lilypond [filename]” command is invoked to generate the .pdf, .ps, .midi outputs.

Now, every single time you save your .ly file, Autolily will run lilypond for you in the background, letting you know of any errors or such (and if you have evince open on the generated .pdf file, evince will update what your sheet music looks like as well).

Memory usage of this script is a bit embarrassing — I get around 4.5 MB — but hey, that’s Ruby’s fault.

UPDATE November 12, 2009: Added quotes around _file_ so that a filename with spaces works correctly. (Though, if you’re a Linux guy like me, you probably don’t name your files with spaces in them.)

One thought on “Auto-update/make/compile script for Lilypond: Autolily

  1. Hi, Shinobu. I just started working with LP, and immediately found myself wanting a solution like this. Thanks for sharing!

Dying For a Job: The Palestinian Killed on His Way to Work

So sad.  What’s with the ‘shoot them dead first and then find out what they’re doing’ attitude?

Israeli police shot and killed a construction worker from this West Bank village Sunday after he used a rope to scale a towering wall meant to keep Palestinians from sneaking into Israel, police and a witness said. The victim, Izzedine Kawazbeh, a 35-year-old father of five, was part of a group of Palestinian construction workers trying to enter Israel without permits when he was killed in east Jerusalem near the West Bank separation barrier.

Let’s face it friends, who among us wouldn’t hop a fence in order to get to a job so our families wouldn’t starve? Border walls are meaningless when lives are at stake. Oh, well, I guess not though. I suppose John Hagee and his kindred are throwing an ‘I’m glad he’s dead because he was just a lowly Palestinian and he doesn’t deserve to provide for his family’ party at this very moment.

The victim’s cousin, Mohammed, 22, said his relative was shot from close range and without provocation. He said about 100 workers from villages near the West Bank city of Hebron climb over the separation barrier at a particular spot once a week, head for jobs on Israeli construction sites and return to their villages for the weekend. “We climb on each other’s shoulders to the top of the wall, and we tie the rope, then descend to the other side,” Kawazbeh said. “We usually choose (Saturday) midnight, because there are no soldiers and security. We move to a nearby place, a hill, where we stay until the morning,” then travel by bus and on foot for several more hours to various construction sites.

So much for ‘let justice roll down like waters…’ – a summons by one of those pesky Old Testament prophets who clearly didn’t have any idea of political necessities.  Meanwhile, settlers in the West Bank continue to build against UN mandate, making those actions illegal (not to mention immoral and unethical).

    it is very sad and a true tragedy for his family. Do note the other sides of the story – the wall not only stops people going to work (but this is not it’s main reason) – but quite successfully it has stopped the suicide bombers from coming thru (AND THIS IS THE MAIN REASON FOR THE WALL).
    And, at least until one of the versions is proven correct, the other version of the story, told by the police, is that the man was killed while struggling with a policeman, and you should not only mention the family’s version.

    • Jim 3 Oct 2010 at 4:22 pm

      i agree with you. it is sad. and there are doubtless two sides of the story. there always are. and im glad bombers are being stopped. but i sure do wish you guys could solve your problems so that you can do what the germans did- tear down that wall and coexist.

  2. Eric Chamblee 3 Oct 2010 at 7:55 pm

    Tragic in the true sense of the word: his own actions brought about his death. Senseless, useless.
    But when you know that you will be shot for doing something and you still do it……

  3. Eric Chamblee 3 Oct 2010 at 7:58 pm

    And darn Israel for building housing for its’ own people on Israeli land.

    The UN? Seriously? The same UN that gave Sudan a seao on the human rights panel while they carried out genocide in Darfar? The same UN that allowed Koffi(sp?) and his pals to pocket BILLIONS in aid monies? They have NO legal or moral authority to tell anyone anything.

Who cares about Beyonce’s Baby?

Published on November 1st, 2011

If you hadn’t noticed, Beyoncé has been dominating the headlines of every gossip and entertainment publication since announcing her pregnancy on the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. The blogesphere let out a collective gasp, before tripping over their Mac power cords to get their keyboards and post about baby names, the baby’s sex and lately the size of baby Jayonce’s nursery.  The rumors that Beyoncé is not really pregnant have also provided fodder for the media. So because we think so far outside of the always theoretical often abhorred box, we bring you reasons you should not care about the birth of the future little Knowles-Carter.

Beyoncé is increasing the unemployment rate:

The Bureau of Labor Statistics stated that for the past three months, the unemployment rate in the United States has been 9.1 percent. Beyoncé’s pregnancy is actually worsening the unemployment rate. She will be unable to go on tour while she is pregnant and for many months after her pregnancy. Beyoncé is therefore, putting all of her instrumentalists, lighting and sound technicians, and all the staff at every venue she would have rented out of work. Just think of how her and Jay-Z are selfishly ruining our economy.

Sally Sue has a baby too:

No one cared when Sally Sue in Ass-crack, Wyoming gave birth to a perfectly healthy 8 lbs. baby girl. No one even cared when Beyoncé’s sister, Solange, had a baby. The paparazzi was not following her around, and you definitely did not subscribe to the RSS feed letting you know all the latest news about her baby’s birth. Why should you care about one celebrity’s pregnancy more than anothers? No one is fighting to see Hillary Duff’s baby bump- yep I bet you didn’t even know she was pregnant. Unless you are personally pushing the baby out of your vagina or in the room while it happens, you have no reason to care. This pregnancy is just as irrelevant to you as Sally Sue’s baby was, so get a life.

You are not Beyoncé’s baby:

I know that media tries to show you every step of Beyoncé’s life and career. Now you feel like you are apart of the family and have the right to be involved in the process. You want to see all the updated pictures and are tracking Beyoncé’s belly growth. Reality check! You are not a part of Beyoncé’s family and this birth will have absolutely no effect on your life whatsoever.

You have bigger fish to fry:

If you had not noticed, the election year is fast approaching. There are serious political issues at hand, and our nation is going through a difficult change. No matter what your political affiliation is, your main focus should be on the issues that will affect you. Petitioning your local congressman to advocate for you is a start. According to College Board, over the past decade college tuition has increased approximately 17 percent. You should care about the increased struggle that parents and students are going through. Start caring about the fact that if our country does not stop spending money that it does not have, you will not have Social Security or Medicare.

These are all issues that trump Beyoncé’s baby or any other celebrities’ business, I mean don’t you have homework or something. We all should stop caring so much, and focus more on the issues that truly matter and will have a serious effect on our lives and the future of our country . . . on second thought, go watch a movie.

    Antonya, this is a magnificent article. You put words in your article that I didn’t know the meaning of, but will add to my vocabulary. Your journalistic abilities are becoming better and better. Keep up the good work and always KEEP WRITING! Much success to you in all of your endeavors.

    Love this article… great job!!!!

    This is hilarious!!!

  4. Posted by Phaedra Ridley on November 8th, 2011, 03:53 [Reply]

    I love the way you break it down and expose a generation of celebrity watchers consumed with the actions of “the haves” made rich by the “have nots.” Great piece!

  5. Posted by Lorrie on November 29th, 2011, 05:32 [Reply]

    Bravo! Great article. There are so many changes and important things going on in this country that will affect our lives dramatically and Beyonce’s personal life is what’s eating up the air waves? You are so right. Our country needs to wake up and stop letting the entertainment world dominate and lead us by our noses.

I Hate to be a Bother but… (bp coyle)

Sorry, excuse me…

Sorry could you give me a moment of your time…

Sorry, excuse me, I hate to be a bother but could I please talk to you for just a second.

I wonder if you could help me. It’s my wife you see. She was feeling unwell when we got off the train, a touch of travel sickness I suppose. It was a long journey. She’s getting on a bit, like myself, and she doesn’t cope well with travelling these days. She went to the eh… ladies em… toilets… to… freshen up, so to speak. That was twenty minutes ago and I am becoming a little concerned. Obviously I can’t go in myself, what would people think? I wonder if you could pop in for a sec and see if she’s okay. Her name is Joan. John Freeman. Oh I understand, your train is due, no that’s fine. Totally fine. Of course you don’t have time. Thank you so much. I am sure everything will work out well. Have a nice journey.

Excuse me, I hate to be a bother but could you please listen to me for a moment. Please…
