This is our new Truck and trailer combo, long story on how this came together. The trailer is basically a king sized bed on wheels. Gonna be a lot of fun this summer

Having friends who are friends of club owners has it's advantages :)
The door bitch outside reluctantly gave us entry tokens, while a queue was starting to form just before 11pm.
Still, an unplanned club visit left me feeling a little underdressed in jeans and slightly ratty casual shoes.
The club was filled with incense, which was not entirely unpleasant, although it was a bit confusing to the senses which insisted of thinking of a quiet temple. Eventually, the doof doof of the RnB and House music won out.

We had tried to get into Silk Road, but it looked a bit too posh for an unplanned visit. Perhaps next time...
Just as well we didn't try... the decor is over the top!

Harsh comments though!
I love the eating concept at Silk Road, kind of like a food court, except the builder was Kubla Khan not Westfield and your stately pleasure dome is fuelled by flashy $29 cocktails rather than opium pipes. If the food had been better and it had arrived in reasonable time, I'd be happy to hitch another ride.

Se concreta la propuesta del Gobernador para dotar de vivienda digna a los
cuerpos policiacos
-
Se firma un convenio con el Gobierno del Estado de Aguascalientes, la
Secretaría de Desarrollo Agrario, Territorial y Urbano (SEDATU), la
Sociedad Hipotecaria Federal (SHF) y BBVA Bancomer para otorgar créditos en
condiciones preferenciales a integrantes de las fuerzas de seguridad
pública de la entidad.
El Gobernador del Estado, Carlos Lozano de la Torre, y el Secretario de
Desarrollo Agrario, Territorial y Urbano, Jorge Carlos Ramírez Marín,
encabezaron esta mañana la Firma del Convenio entre el Gobierno del Estado,
Sociedad Hipotecaria Federal y BBVA Bancomer, para iniciar con el Programa
de Créditos para la Adquisición de Vivienda Nueva para Elementos de
Seguridad Pública.
En la explanada de la Secretaría de Seguridad Pública del Estado, el Jefe
del Ejecutivo sostuvo que para Aguascalientes es un honor que el Presidente
Enrique Peña Nieto haya hecho suya la propuesta generada en esta entidad
para incorporarlas en la nueva Política Nacional de Vivienda y poner en
marcha el Programa Nacional para Elementos de Seguridad Pública, con la
finalidad de resolver el rezago habitacional de este sector.
“A poco más de 10 días del inicio de este programa a nivel nacional, esta
mañana el estado de Aguascalientes refrenda su compromiso con el
cumplimiento de los objetivos señalados por esta política pública, para
suscribir un convenio de colaboración institucional con la Sociedad
Hipotecaria Federal y el Grupo BBVA Bancomer, que nos ha permitido
implementar este Programa”, dijo.
La firma de este convenio implica la meta de colocar los primeros 500
créditos de esta estrategia durante todo el año 2013 entre los elementos de
las diferentes corporaciones estatales y municipales, con una inversión
inicial que podría superar los 230 millones de pesos, para beneficiar a más
de dos mil personas en la entidad.
De esta manera, el Gobierno del Estado está aportando casi 12 millones de
pesos para activar el pago de las primas por garantías y seguros que otorga
la Sociedad Hipotecaria Federal a los beneficiarios de este programa social.
Asimismo, el Grupo BBVA Bancomer realizará una inversión que es mayor a los
119 millones de pesos, que se complementa con el ahorro de los primeros
beneficiarios de este programa y que supera los 22 millones de pesos,
destacando además que los Notarios que trabajan a este corporativo
otorgarán el 50 por ciento de descuento a sus honorarios para trámite de
escrituración.
Por su parte la Cámara Nacional de la Industria de Desarrollo y Promoción
de la Vivienda otorgará un descuento del 2 por ciento sobre valor de
avalúo, que se estima sea de alrededor de 4.7 millones de pesos, y
adicional a esto el municipio de Aguascalientes está gestionando el
subsidio al pago del Impuesto Sobre Adquisición de Bienes Inmuebles que
complementaría estos esquemas de apoyo financiero.
El Jefe del Ejecutivo agradeció al Gobierno Federal, la SEDATU, la Sociedad
Hipotecaria Federal, la CANADEVI y al Grupo BBVA Bancomer por la confianza
que están depositando en el estado de Aguascalientes, pero sobre todo en la
gente y en los cuerpos policíacos.
“Aguascalientes se convierte en una de las primeras entidades de la
república mexicana, que pone en marcha un programa de financiamiento en
materia de vivienda para beneficiar a los elementos de seguridad pública, y
en el primer estado del país que está generando un esquema integral,
transparente y financieramente sustentable, para que los miembros de las
diferentes corporaciones puedan adquirir vivienda nueva”, destacó el
Gobernador.
El mandatario estatal añadió que esto es además un reconocimiento a los
policías, agentes ministeriales y custodios, que arriesgan su vida para
salvaguardar la integridad y el patrimonio de todos los aguascalentenses y
sus familias, así como de quienes confían en el estado para invertir,
trabajar y estudiar, pero principalmente, y por primera vez en la historia
de México y de Aguascalientes, se reconoce el derecho social a la vivienda
que los agentes del orden, la seguridad y la procuración de justicia poseen
como mexicanos y como aguascalentenses.
“México está en movimiento con el Presidente Enrique Peña Nieto, y gracias
a su visión de Estado la vivienda ha recuperado su sentido como política
pública nacional. Esta transformación está en marcha y no tiene vuelta
atrás, porque en el estado de Aguascalientes y en sus policías México tiene
a sus mejores aliados para consolidarlo como un destino ideal para las
inversiones de todo el mundo”, dijo.
Finalmente, hizo un amplio reconocimiento a los elementos de la Secretaría
de Seguridad Pública Estatal, de la Procuraduría General de Justicia, de
las once corporaciones municipales y a los custodios del Sistema
Penitenciario, por esta labor que realizan para hacer de Aguascalientes el
mejor lugar para vivir, trabajar, estudiar e invertir de México.
AGUASCALIENTES ES EJEMPLO NACIONAL
EN TODOS LOS RUBROS DEL DESARROLLO: JCMR
Por su parte el Secretario de Desarrollo Agrario, Territorial y Urbano,
Jorge Carlos Ramírez Marín, reconoció al Gobernador del Estado por su apoyo
y promoción del ordenamiento del sector vivienda en el país y la
formulación de nuevos esquemas financieros para ampliar las oportunidades
de acceso a la adquisición de unidades habitacionales, principalmente en
sectores que han permanecido al margen de los programas tradicionales en la
materia.
Recordó que fue precisamente Carlos Lozano de la Torre quien en el 2011,
como coordinador de la Comisión de Desarrollo Urbano, Ordenamiento
Territorial, Infraestructura Urbana y Vivienda de la CONAGO, propuso la
creación de un Programa Nacional de Vivienda para Policías, además de
realizar gestiones ante la federación que permitieron asignar recursos en
el otorgamiento de subsidios a elementos de seguridad pública para la
adquisición de vivienda en nuestro país.
Reconoció además que Aguascalientes es un ejemplo nacional y regional en
materia de seguridad pública y prevención social del delito, donde los
inversionistas y las familias cuentan con corporaciones estatales
confiables, eficientes, debidamente equipadas y adiestradas en labores de
inteligencia, investigación, prevención y combate de la delincuencia en
todas sus formas, y que gracias al trabajo institucional de las
corporaciones estatales y municipales, la confianza, las inversiones y el
empleo permanente están de vuelta en Aguascalientes, donde la vivienda es
un factor de crecimiento económico y sobre todo de calidad de vida para las
familias.
En este evento estuvieron también Jesús Alberto Cano Vélez, Director
General de la Sociedad Hipotecaria Federal; Luis Robles Miaja, Presidente
del Consejo de Administración del Grupo BBVA Bancomer; Rolando Eugenio
Hidalgo Eddy, Secretario de Seguridad Pública; Felipe Muñoz Vázquez,
Procurador General de Justicia; Juan Carlos Rodríguez García, Director
General del Instituto de Vivienda; Pablo José Godínez Hernández, Secretario
de Seguridad Pública del municipio capital y servidores públicos de las
corporaciones estatales y municipales, así como los elementos ministeriales
y custodios.

Landing pages are the sale force of your website. An effective landing page will sell your products or services like hot bread merely by the correct use of information, words and structure. The principle of the landing page is that content is king; forget about distractions: images, videos, audios, advertisements, links to other pages and any other element which may take the reader's attention off the text. You can realize how catchy, intelligent, clear and practical this text must be in order to get someone's attention and actually get him or her to buy something out of it.
Of course, there are professionals who can produce masterpieces out of a blank piece of paper, but if you own a small website and take care of it by yourself, it is not impossible for you to master this art too.
There is a basic system that can help anyone enhance their writing abilities, specially if you wish to write a piece capable of convincing someone to buy a specific product or service from your website.
This five step system is called POWER: Prepare, Organize, Write, Edit and Review. Follow these steps and measure how it enhances your writing and persuasion skills.
First step- Prepare
Relevant and intelligent information is vital for writing a good piece, and a great way to gather quality information is by asking questions. Thoroughly answer questions in regards to your product or service's description, purpose, price, features, benefits, competition, guarantee, the business, the prospects, weaknesses, goals, the offer, deadlines, requirements, payment method, ordering method and any other important aspect, to guarantee you have lots of material to work with.
Second step- Organize
After gathering lots of information, you have to organize it. Write down notes on the essential facts, these will produce ideas and will give you focus to help you write your piece. Several of the points in your questions' list are essentials for this step: description, purpose, price, features, benefits, guarantee, prospect, goals, offer, deadline, payment method and ordering method. These points will guide your writing.
Third step- Write
You are ready to write. Choose a headline based on what you wish to show as focal point: your main benefit, offer, deadline, price, prospect, ordering method, description and guarantee. Try several headlines and choose the best way to present it for your product or service, does it serve you better if it is a direct approach, a news headline, a how- to guide, a question, a command, gives information or is a testimonial?
Afterwards, write sub- heads (description, benefits, features, offer, deadline and guarantee, among others) to expand on your headline, use active voice and showcase a benefit in each one of them.
The body of your piece will be the detailed and direct explanation of each sub- head. This should be easy if you have nailed your headlines and sub- heads as you will have an awesome guide. Just write about all you know about your product or service.
Remember that virtual readers scan texts, so their main attention will be on the headlines, if those catch his or her interest, they will move to read the rest, so take your time when developing them.
Now is the time to work on the call to action. Check ordering method, offer, price, deadline and guarantee you find the best way to approach this. Be clear, direct and encouraging.
Fourth step- Edit
Clean your writing, leave only what adds value to the message you want to convey. Get rid of complicated parts and ensure every word counts.
Confirm that your headline is catchy, well targeted, clear and enticing, that your sub- heads effectively develop on the headlines, that the body of your piece shows useful facts and that what you want your clients to do is clear.
Fifth step- Review
Forget about your piece for some days; then pick it up and read it, afterwards, show it to five persons and measure their responses. If after five seconds they do not get it, is not good. Check headlines, clarify the offer and give straight ordering directions.
Make a list of the weaknesses in your piece. Be very honest and write it to work. Open your mind to new angles in order to enhance your writing, do not get attached to one way of writing, get out of your comfort zone and enrich your experience.
March 2019's theme was WATER!
It’s the main source of all life. The lifeblood element that makes up 60% of our bodies.
It’s the liquid that we don’t drink enough of, yet waste effortlessly.
It’s home to millions of species, mysteries, and undiscovered knowledge.
We know more about the stars in the sky than the depths of our oceans.
We can use it to save lives. If used foolishly, it can take lives.
We think there is an abundance, yet only one percent can be touched. If we don’t protect our waters, then what will happen to life?
Thanks to Nicework and Vega School for helping us make it possible!
Our Perth chapter chose this month’s exploration of Water and Sofia Varano illustrated the theme.
More about our speaker, Banele Khoza -
Banele Khoza was in born in 1994 in Hlatikulu (a small rural town) in eSwatini. During high school he moved to South Africa and is now based in Tshwane. He studied at the London International School of Fashion for a year, studying Fashion Design. Dismayed by the limited oppertunities to draw he transferred to study Fine Arts at Tshwane University of Technology. On completion of his degree he taught Drawing and Art Theory at the same institution. In 2018 he decided to stop teaching to work as a full time artist.
Banele Khoza is a man to watch, with a recent solo show at Zeitz MOCAA, the 2017 Gerard Sekoto Foundation award under his belt and a fleet of taxi’s covered in his work (as the result of him winning the SA Taxi Foundation Art Award) his work is going places. Khoza’s first suite of lithographs published by The Artists’ Press, demonstrate his skill and dexterity. Khoza’s ability to embrace the unknown and to immerse himself in the technical possibilities of what lithography has to offer combined with the skills of Master Printer Mark Attwood have resulted in prints that reveal the artist’s gifts.
Khoza worked on stone and grained film using a combination of pencil, litho crayon and ink and tusche washes. The delicate traces of the dried ink, Khoza’s choice of colours and drawing abilities combine to delight the eye. Khoza has been a keen draftsman since the age of five, drawing images of the toys that he wanted but which his conservative parents refused to get for him. This sense of longing and vulnerability can be seen in Khoza’s lithographs.
Obsessively neat and detailed text weaves through some of the prints, but one cannot read all of the words. It is if the artist entices one into his private world and then stops one from fully accessing it, questioning the viewer’s motives for the intrusion. Khoza’s journals are an integral part of his practice and are reflected in his image making “I have never seen so many sharp pencils” is some of the text included in one of his lithographs. Khoza’s interest in the private and the public merges with his interest in social media, technology, connection/disconnection, isolation and a longing to be whole and completely present with someone as well as with oneself.
In the six two-colour prints faces and bodies are alluded to, the delicacy of the washes contrasting with the boldness of the forms. And just as things seem to be getting really serious the text and titles pull one back with a sense of delight and quirkiness
“Dear Olympia” (a reclining nude with two cats) and “Don’t forget the tomatoes” reminding one of everyday routines.

O Parque Nacional da Serra do Cipó foi criado em 1984 para proteger a fauna e flora da Serra do Cipó, as espécies endêmicas da região e, além de tudo, os importantes elementos históricos e culturais presentes dentro de seus 33.800 hectares.
Os valores culturais e históricos desta unidade residem nas pinturas rupestres, que indicam sinal de história do homem em eras passadas, sem contar os sítios arqueológicos de enorme valor histórico, que existem no seu entorno. São duas as versões para a origem do nome da Serra; a que diz que o nome é devido ao rio Cipó que passa na unidade, que possui um leito bastante sinuoso e a outra que diz que o nome é devido a uma mata fechada existente no local, onde os cipós se entrelaçavam formando uma verdadeira barreira.
A Serra do Cipó faz parte da Cordilheira do Espinhaço e, juntamente com um braço da mesma, divide as águas das bacias dos rios São Francisco e Doce. A paisagem apresenta um conjunto de montanhas, rios, cachoeiras e campos e está dividida em duas grandes formações: a do Espinhaço, montanhosa e a da bacia do médio rio Cipó, semi-montanhosa, que corresponde à região dos vales. As chamadas rochas em dobramento, afiados obeliscos de granito, são marcantes na região.
A flora apresenta três conjuntos de vegetação: mata de galeria, campo cerrado e campo rupestre. Foram catalogadas mais de 1.600 espécies diferentes de flores na região, algumas únicas do lugar.
O parque protege algumas espécies de mamíferos em extinção, como o lobo-guará, o tamanduá-bandeira e o cachorro-do-mato-vinagre. Uma espécie rara de anfíbio da região é a rã conhecida como perereca-de-pijama.
O clima da região é tropical de altitude, com temperatura média anual de 21°C. De abril a novembro, período seco é o melhor período para cruzar os rios, tomar banhos e praticar rapel. No restante do ano, chove mais, as cachoeiras ficam mais cheias e a vegetação, mais florida
