(Basically) My first SCP. Seeking Critique of any kind! Accuracy, style, tone, context or even the video. Anything can be changed. I appreciate advice on any of it.
Kilometres? We use the SI here.
testing on D-Class younger than 16 years of age is forbidden without approval of both the Site Director Gerald Bash and Head researcher Jonathan Chase.
While there is no canon, I doubt the Foundation would employ underage D-Class at all. Criminals under 18 aren't even put in the same prisons in most countries.
SCP-xxxx is 16.63 letters of anomalous vodka.
Litres? The decimals look like you ran it through a converter. You don't need to include 'anomalous', that's why it's an SCP.
that differentiate SCP-xxxx from non-anomalous vodka, side from, its anomalous effects.
then proceeds operate a motorized vehicle of any kind1.
In the footnote, you don't have to use 'proven'. Use 'confirmed' instead.
SCP-xxxx was discovered in in ██████, USA, following an investigation into a total of ██ medical medical reports wherein patients had suffered multitudes of injuries from car crashes that reportedly took place before they had left the parking lot. Interviews with the surviving █ patients revealed that they had all been drinking at one of 3 local pubs, the night of the crash.
People get in crashes due to drinking all the time, how does the Foundation differentiate between anomalous and non-anomalous accidents?
During this investigation, approximately one in six bottles of what was supposedly vodka was discovered to be anomalous.
How? We have no visual characteristics that let us see the difference between normal vodka and SCP-XXXX.
I'll be honest: I find the inclusion of the GIF to be tasteless at best. If I were related to the victims, I'd find it disrespectful if it were included like this.
The origin is fleshed out well, but the POI isn't explored at all, he's fairly one-dimensional.
I've got to say, I agree with Leveritas - that .gif isn't suitable at all for this website. It's disrespectful to the victims and their family of the people actually feature in the video, but it's also potentially NSFL for some people, particularly those who have been in car accidents - it's very traumatic to be reminded of such a thing. It's very shocking, but not in a good way. I advise you remove it, even if you can't find a replacement photo/video, and don't use anything like that in the future.
It's very shocking, but not in a good way. I advise you remove it, even if you can't find a replacement photo/video, and don't use anything like that in the future.
Agreed. I personally would downvote for the image alone—it's tactless to include given that this is footage of a real accident (according to Google's reverse image search), and doesn't improve the article at all.
I recommend you remove it.
.gif is off. Though I think its a bit of a shame. I, of course, recognize the tragedy of car crashes and it would be obviously be foolish of me to sabotage the entire article because I insisted on including a single .gif. I feel it should be said however that the actual crash was, obviously, far less severe than the one in the .gif.
On a totally separate note, did you simply use reverse google image searching to find the video the .gif came from? I tried the same thing before I uploaded to see if it could lead back to the video where I got the raw footage. I came up with nothing. If there's some google-jujitsu you'd be willing to share, I'd really be happy to hear it!
I got pages and pages of news articles of horrific crashes, and some videos. I saw one video that looked similar-ish enough, considering I didn't watch the entirety of the .gif you included. I didn't bother comparing them side-by-side. Brings back a lot of bad memories and I'd rather not dwell on those.
Let's end this line of discussion and focus on the draft itself.
Seconding that, this is not just disrespectful to the victims in such brutality or to people that has been on a car accident (including me), but it is also offensive for most of the members of the site.
SCP-xxxx is 16.63 letters liters of anomalous vodka.
The decimals look like you ran it through a converter.
I was trying to convey clinical accuracy, and to hint at the fact that some of the vodka had been consumed (so their obviously wouldn't be a nice round number). I see what your saying though and acknowledge the fact this could probably be shown just as well with one decimal place.
I believe I had read a tale that had made reference to juvenile D-Class, even so, I felt I might as well be thorough.
As I said in the article, the crashes being investigated were of significant severity and occurred prior to the vehicles leaving the parking lot they were in. I thought that these unlikely circumstances (and the fact it had happened many times in a small area) would be unusual enough to warrant investigation. Keep in mind that I did not explicitly state that these crashes were anomalous, just that they were strange enough to provoke foundation inquiry.
Yeah, the .gif was not loved. (See above) Anyway on the subject of ol' Harold: I very nearly considered making his name, ██████ ████████ because I had no real intention of exploring him. You are 100% right in saying that my proclamation that he is a PoI makes no sense because I give him no actual character aside from this one thing he did and his (Poorly) written justification for it. I cant really decide if it would be better to cut him out altogether or to give him more substance. I just did not want to build his character through doing all the overused "INSERT was found amoung Mr. McKinny's belongings.", "Mr. McKinny was know among his coworkers for INSERT" and "Mr. McKinny was seen on security footage interacting with INSERT prior to the incident."
Thank you foe the feedback. Im obviously new to writing on this sire and I am grateful you put up with my poor spelling and my stupid american units of measurement.
I had believe I had read a tale that had made reference to juvenile D-Class, even so, I felt I might as well be thorough.
So let's say that the Foundation recruits some D-Class from a re-education camp in the DPRK. Which is worse: taking the children too or just the parents, leaving the children as effectively orphans in a hellish prison?
I'm not sure if the question is rhetorical so I will answer anyway.
I do not really think there's a difference, given that they could be separated at any time. Furthermore, the chance of death in the Re-Education camp is likely, whereas in the Foundation it is certain?
However, isn't there some ethics committee policy that sates that D-Class cannot be acquired simply because its convenient? And isn't the promise of eventual escape from confinement and reunion with their family what keeps the D-Class to willing to do as the Foundation says?
Furthermore, the chance of death in the Re-Education camp is likely, whereas in the Foundation it is certain?
Why would you think that? Monthly termination is at the very least waivable if it is even a thing at all.
Again, just something I read in a tale and assumed was gospel.
Are they not recycled? I thought they were recycled… And surly recycling every months means that they stay in the foundation till death or loss. Right?
I'm genuinely asking, this is just my head canon and you've been on the site longer than me.
There is no canon, grasshopper. I used child (refugee) D-Class in SCP-2890 with no termination, but I am also aware of the real world history of human experimentation, and I don't think that an organization like Foundation draws many lines at all, especially when I am deliberately writing horror.
What if They Weren't has D-Class being programmed as sleepers and inserted back into society.
Well yeah, I know there's no set canon, I've been on the site a little while. I guess I thought recycling was one of the more accepted fates of what happens to D-Class every 30 or so days. It seemed to make sense with the Foundations approach to efficiency and the preservation of human life.
I get what you're saying though, on child D-Class. I realise its unlikely. I think I'm gonna keep the line in there though, just to hint at the inverse correlation that is mentioned later in the article.
The Sleeper-Insert-Into-Society sure looks interesting. But I prefer to, in SCP articles themselves, leave the referencing open ended enough that the reader can apply whatever is in their head canon to it.
I have completely rewritten the Addendum in an attempt to make the POI a tad more interesting, I may have failed.
I added a new picture which is more appropriate.
Made some small changes to the description.
The big thing is the Addendum, let me know if it works or if I should just cut it and the POI from the origin.

Our search for an apartment to rent in Saigon has come to a rather unsuccessful end. It seems that apartments here are for longer term rentals only and none would do a rental for three or four weeks only. Any that would cater for shorter rentals were serviced executive apartments and prohibitively expensive. So, a no go on the apartment and our own kitchen front. Ah, well, the food here is so delicious and cheap that the kitchen probably wouldn't have seen too much action anyway.
On a brighter note, or rather a more sombre one, we went to the fantastic War Remnants Museum here yesterday. It was a fascinating museum, with the added bonus of a separate children's play area.... and a great one at that. It kept Luca more than amused for the hour or two in which Linda and I took turns to wander around the museum. Then, when the monsoon rain storm ended, we went outside to the tanks and airplanes and that kept him amused once again. The museum houses a particularly interesting exhibition based around the work of well-known photojournalists during the Vietnam War (or the American War, as it's understandably known here). It's definitely a museum we'll all return to, happy to fork out the entrance fee of 15,000 Dong, or around 50 cent!
This morning we set out to explore District 1 in search of a hotel to stay for the three weeks or so that we're here and think we've struck gold. A nice, modern hotel, with large rooms and, the clincher for Luca, a rooftop swimming pool. And all for the princely sum of $US 20 a night. We move in there tomorrow and then start in Allambie Orphanage on Wednesday. We're looking forward to it, although perhaps not looking forward so much to the daily cycle amongst the traffic chaos of central Saigon!
all sounds well! Good luck with the orphanage! Love and best wishes!
Nice new haircut there Luca!
Thanks Galea De Paors. Met the kids yesterday and looking forward to starting in earnest.
Thanks Uncle J. Love, The Barber!

I don't really pay any special attention besides the normal nightly eye cream to my under-eye area since I'm lucky that don't have dark circles (well, usually and very rarely I don't, read the review about when I did!). However, I purchased this on a whim in Korea because I've always wanted to try under-eye patches. There aren't a lot of companies in the States that make under-eye patches, so I was curious to try them.
Immunity-boosting red ginseng formula penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin, strengthening the underlying tissue to give your skin strength and elasticity.
Certified by Ecocert for its organic ingredients, Gigawhite skin brightening complex helps to even out your overall skin tone so your skin looks bright and clear.
After cleansing your face and toning, place an eye patch on desired area and wait 20-30 minutes then remove patch. Pat gently to help absorb the remaining essence on skin.
The eye patches are housed in a short round twist off container and also comes with a tool that helps you easily lift up the patches from the container. I don't use the eye patches often, but I do use it when I see that my under-eye area needs some attention. When I was in Korea, I actually started to get dark circles (and I almost never ever get dark circles) because I was waking up very early in the morning and the day was packed with activities - I was absolutely exhausted! I used these patches the first night I got it, and after using it my dark circles immediately disappeared! After that, I knew it definitely helps the under-eye area.
You get 60 patches which means that you can use it a total of 30 times if you use two patches at a time. The serum is clear, scentless, and very slippery. Since it's a gel patch, it won't actually stick to your under-eye area right away when you put it on, but rather it'll slip around a little for around 5 minutes until it does stick. Although the directions say to leave it on for 20-30 minutes, I leave it on for around 40 minutes. By that time, most if not all of the serum has been absorbed by my skin. Lastly, this is the first snail product I've used so I can't vouch for whether this product is good because of it. I can say however that it helps moisturize & soothe the under eye area since the first time I used the patches they helped get rid of my dark circles.
You have dry under-eye areas.
You like fragrance-free under-eye serums.
I can't really think of any cons to this product. I think every woman needs help with her under-eye area!
Unfortunately, the Lohasys brand seems fairly difficult to purchase outside of Korea. However, there are alternatives from other Korean beauty brands that have similar products - Nature Republic, ElishaCoy, and Secret all have hydro gel patches that are easier to find & purchase. I don't think the Lohasys one is extraordinary or considered the best gel eye patch, so I'm confident that the other brands will work just as well as Lohasys's gel patches.

How do I purchase a SAI firearm (Pistol, Rifle or Shotgun)? What is the process?
What is a Tier One Package?
What weapon manufacturers do you work on?
Can I send in my own gun? Or do you only work on the guns you supply?
Who did the Photography for the Site?
Order the gun online through our store (if it is in stock, it is available for immediate shipment).
Find the gun you want and then find an authorized Salient Arms International Dealer near you to purchase a weapon through.
The Tier One package is our top of line package and takes performance to the edge - while still retaining all of the reliability you expect from Glock or Smith & Wesson. The Tier One can easily be distinguished by the additional weight that is taken out from the slide by the addition of window cuts on the sides and the top of the slides. Tier One packages includes a Match Fluted and threaded barrels (Only on Glocks in 9mm), Tier One Internals and our Fiber Optic sights.
We currently only work on Glock, Smith and Wesson M&P Lines, and Benelli M1/M2/M4's. We will be offering additional work on some other manufactures in the future. The RED, BLU, GLD and GRY are all our own production firearms by Salient Arms International.
Due to current demand we are not accepting customer supplied guns.
However there is one exception, for Tier Three Glock’s (only) we are accepting customer supplied weapons. Please note we do not accept 10mm models.
You can purchase any SAI firearm directly from any of our dealers that are located nationwide.
We offer a completely transferable limited lifetime warranty that we feel is one of the best out there. In short, we keep SAI weapons running forever, period.
We just ask that you give us a call before sending it back to discuss. We are here to do everything we possibly can, however there are some things we cannot cover. If you happen to throw your SAI g17 Tier One into the oven with a frozen pizza and it melts, that would not be covered (it's happened). Our warranty goes even further. If you are involved in a legal use of deadly force situation and your SAI weapon is taken into evidence, we will provide you with another, free of charge, until you get yours back.
We are extremely happy to display work from Evike.com, SSV Media and DEFCON on our Site. The product images are done by Evike.com, DEFCON, SSV Media, and our in-house photography team. The home page images were done by DEFCON. You can see additional examples of their work on Facebook or Instagram.

Needless to say, our lighting department had to create a sunny day during high winds and torrential rain downpours at Terasitas beach. The crew were forced to head for cover three times before finally managing to start filming.
The editor started to edit and colour grade as we went along thus making up for lost time. We actually finished the day's storyboard at the expected time and that is thanks to the determination and teamwork of the entire crew.
The following day was shot with out Red Dragon, lights, crane and tripods at the five star Hotel Gran Tacande in Fañabe. The weather cooperated as we filmed our couple enjoying a delicious meal by the pool under a blue sky.
We wrapped early evening to mass applause for what was a very testing shoot, especially on the first day.

The plot centers on students involved in the Soweto Riots, in opposition to the implementation of Afrikaans as the language of instruction in schools. The stage version presents a school uprising similar to the Soweto uprising on June 16, 1976. A narrator introduces several characters among them the school girl activist Sarafina. Things get out of control when a policeman shoots several pupils in a classroom. Nevertheless, the musical ends with a cheerful farewell show of pupils leaving school, which takes most of act two. In the movie version Sarafina feels shame at her mother's (played by Miriam Makeba in the film) acceptance of her role as domestic servant in a white household in apartheid South Africa, and inspires her peers to rise up in protest, especially after her inspirational teacher, Mary Masombuka (played by Whoopi Goldberg in the film version) is imprisoned.

Rumblings of Lethal Weapon 5 keep getting louder and louder. Director Richard Donner appeared on Star Trek podcast, Spocklight and dropped some info on the long-gestating fifth instalment of the action franchise. It looks like everything is set for the film to happen – it just needs the green light from Warner Bros.
Sounds positive. Longtime readers of Movies In Focus will know that I’m eager for this to happen – so cross your fingers. Richard Donner would once again direct and Mel Gibson and Danny Glover would reprise their trademark roles as Riggs and Murtaugh.

It has been a good many years since I last ascended the Eiffel Tower. If I recall correctly, the last time I went up would be in 2004 with Beejay (his 21st birthday present; a trip to Europe from Andrew and I!) but Andrew assured me it would have been 2006 when he was visiting Paris with me and his then new wife. Either way, 6 years, 8 years, those were a lifetime away. Fast forward and what do you know – us three siblings visiting anew together, them with spouses and kid in tow!
Given the fame of the Iron Lady, to have each deck of the tower filled with visitors is nothing new. But the number of pushy “photographers” trying to jostle for a spot of their favourite views, that’s a whole new level of crazy. It mattered not to them that they were pushing aside a lady carrying a young child but luckily my niece is pretty much the zen-kind of little girl, so she just looked at them curiously then got back to surveying her surroundings.
This shot boasts not only Champ de Mars, École Militaire and Tour Montparnasse but also Les Invalides, St Sulpice, Pantheon, Necker Hospital and Unesco Paris, just to name the main ones.
I love that the shadow of the Eiffel Tower looms over as we look towards Montmartre (spot the Sacré-Cœur), to also find Quai Branly, Grand Palais, Petit Palais, Pont Alexandre III, Louvre and Centre Pompidou within the shot.
Love this one of Sacré-Cœur and the hill of Montmartre!
Paris vs sub-urb; in this case the Trocadéro lies within the city limit, with Bois de Boulogne separating the financial district of La Défense just a little bit beyond.
All these photos were taken from either the first or second viewing deck areas. We didn’t make our way to the very top as the tower was just swarming with visitors and the queue for the big top clocked in at about 1-hour mark. Even then, there were people still looking for tickets to get all the way up but until the traffic to the top cleared up a bit, the tickets were simply not for sale.
Coming down took some queueing time too, in case you are wondering.
Really though, when is it ever a good time to visit the Eiffel Tower without subject to all the queueing and madding crowd? Going late at night doesn’t change much since I’ve seen determined queues even when it’s all dark and cold… The one possibility I can think of now is by paying for an über fancy meal at Le Jules Verne and ride in their private elevator, but for that, I’ll have a lot of saving up to do. Or a sugar daddy to find.

Attempts to come up with topics for posts not related to the wedding are coming up futile.
This is not a wedding blog. I have no intentions of it being a wedding blog. And yet it seems like that is all I write about other than the usual weekly posts.
It's just because that is pretty much all I have on my mind. Which I should. There's less than three months left to go. And while I'm done with all the big decisions and what's left I know what direction I want to go in, but there's still a matter of executing and making sure everything comes together.
But I've been staring at a blank screen for an hour trying to come up with anything else to say. Turns out, the wedding is all I'm capable of talking about.
I'm sure DF and my family and friends would agree with that statement. Well. Maybe not to my face.

Well, looks like my great state of Texas has officially gone off its rocker! That takes a lot for me to say because I am Texan through and through, but really, what I’m about to tell you is just plain silly.
The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) has announced a proposal that would permit the sale of alcohol at gun shows, which is currently banned even during setup and breakdown.
I just have to interject here. I don’t see any good that can come from this. All I see in my mind is someone getting drunk, deciding to load a gun at a show and start firing it off. I mean, come on, we see similar acts when people drink one too many and then think they can operate a 4,000 lb. machine, so they get behind the wheel of their vehicle and kill an innocent person.
A written agreement between the venue owner and gun show operator would have to be approved at least 30 days in advance of the gun show.
Some Texans are responding that it doesn’t make sense to have both guns and alcohol together while others are saying that alcohol service would not make gun shows any less safe.
The public has 30 days to comment on this rather ludicrous proposal (if I do say so myself) so it’s time to hear from all of you!
Alcohol and guns. Do they mix?
Do you think it would be a good idea to serve alcohol at gun shows? Or, do you agree that alcohol has no place at this event?
As always, I look forward to your reactions, thoughts, opinions, ideas.

TRADERS bravely returned to work in London's Borough Market today.
Shops and restaurants reopened one week on from the terror attack that left eight dead in the heart of the capital.
Market workers recalled the horror moment three ISIS fanatics armed with knives attacked victims enjoying their Saturday night out.
Matt Jones, owner of Bread Ahead bakery, pointed out where the attacks took place within the market.
He told Sky News: "The first attack was on a restaurant just over the other side of Fish!
"Then they came to us and started stabbing people on the street directly outside on the pavement here."
Matt said two of his employees bravely ran out to try and defend girls being stabbed outside.
He said: "The attackers ran off down the street and on to Stoney Street, where they just continued to wreak havoc."
Some cordons remain in place in the market - but most have now been lifted as it begins to return to normal.
Southwark Cathedral, where Australian nurse Kirsty Boden was killed, today reopened for the first time in a week.
Dean Andrew Nunn said he rushed from his nearby home after hearing something had happened at London Bridge to open the Cathedral as "a place of refuge" last Saturday.
He said: "I got as far as I could but was turned back by very heavily armed police who shoved me back and told me to run, run.
"I have to say I was scared, terrified really, I had never experienced anything like that and never thought I would.
"You always think it's going to happen somewhere else and then all of a sudden it happens where you are."

Animal eyes have one big job in common, and that’s to collect light.
Animals, including you, must collect light so they can see. No animal can see in total darkness—not even a cat, as some people think.
Animal eyes have many of the same basic parts for collecting light. First, they need a hole, or pupil, to let in the light. They also need a lens to focus it. Without a lens, images would be very fuzzy. Finally, eyes have a retina (RET-ih-na)—a bit like a movie screen—where the light is projected. Chemicals in the retina change the light images into nerve signals that the brain can understand.
We know what parts animal eyes have in common, but what makes them different?

Admit it: there’s kind of nothing cooler than the salty, sun-drenched surf lifestyle. And finding the right honeymoon destination for surfers is easier than you think. Whether you or your hubby-to-be are longtime swell seekers, have not yet learned to paddle and pop up on a longboard, or simply love soaking up the scene the Beach Boys sing about, it’s an attractive activity to engage in on a dynamic tropical honeymoon. Of course, most surf-centric destinations happen to also offer postcard-perfect sandy beaches, healthy and wellness-y—but still indulgent—food and drink options, and a plethora of other water sports.
Some also include opportunities to engage in an exotic culture, get a fun history lesson or explore an energetic city. They don’t all fit into one mold: Hong Kong, a major city beloved for its world-class dining, actually boasts—surprise!—fun surf spots in turquoise water along with its memorable cuisine (stay at The Langham, Hong Kong for access to both). Here, a collection of 10 of the greatest honeymoon destinations for surfers on this beautiful planet that offer even more to lovers on the most important trip of their lives.
So much of Indonesia is a surfer’s paradise, but many archipelagos—see the Mentawais—are really not conducive to a plush romantic trip so much as serious surfing. Nihi Sumba Island is the most ideal combination of both, as its standalone private villas with pools, daybeds and epic bathtubs are beyond luxurious, while the famous wave, Occy’s Left, out front is perfect for the discerning surfer: only 10 people per day are allowed to surf it, and must be guests of Nihi. The spa is incredible, too. SmartFlyer agent and surf expert Ginny Patton honeymooned there herself with her beginner-surfer husband, and they both adored every minute. Because the consistent wave is right there, she adds, you get your fill of surf quickly and can spend the rest of the day hiking to waterfalls, riding horses on the beach or lounging with your new spouse. Nearby Bali is, of course, is the perfect place to pair Sumba with, and Como Uma Canggu provides gorgeous beach resort vibes alongside accessible surf (thanks to Tropicsurf’s comprehensive programs) in the hip town of Canggu, while down south Uluwatu Surf Villas perched high on the cliff offers private stairs to some of the world’s best waves, plus mesmerizing ocean views, yoga and Bali’s best cocktails.
Some honeymooners may not realize that their dream destination, the Maldives, is also home to world-renowned surf spots—and warm water. Gili Lankanfushi’s Robinson Crusoe–style overwater bungalows are paired with crystalline water and private seaplane surf excursions to outer atolls where you may be the only ones catching waves. Tropicsurf is the in-house surf team and they have the boards and lesson plans for every level of surfer or wannabe. The eco-resort Soneva Fushi just launched the world’s first fully sustainable surfing program, which combines wave riding (May through October) with its super romantic accommodations and the overwater villas at sister property Soneva Jani. The Four Seasons Resort Maldives Kuda Huraa hosts Maldives Surfing Champions Trophy, dubbed the planet’s most luxe surf event, so you know it’s an epic place from which to enjoy the sport.
All along the 1,400-acre Peninsula Papagayo in the northwest Guanacaste region are world-class waves that cater beautifully to both first-timers and experienced surfers alike. It’s the ideal water temperature and environment for a surfing virgin to get into the soulful sport, thanks to a variety of breaks running up and down the Pacific Coast. Top white-sand properties within easy access to primo surf at famed Witch’s Rock and beyond include JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa, Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica, and Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo. Of course, when not hanging 10—or learning what that even means—there’s zip-lining, hiking, volcano treks, spa days, fishing and sunbathing to be done. Pura vida indeed!
If you or your partner are serious surfers, plan your North Shore Hawaiian honeymoon for what’s known as “Big Wave Winter,” when the semi truck–sized ones roll through. You can also go November to February if you’re an avid spectator: Turtle Bay Resort, with its 850-acre natural playground, is ideal for observing and picking up tips from the pros with a mai tai in hand. Beyond that season, the property perfectly placed for both sunrise and sunset views offers lessons (including a new Surf Training Program), paddle boarding, a full schedule of wellness and yoga classes and hiking, among many other fun activities.
Some of the best surf in Mexico is found just below California, like in Rosarito, just a 30-minute drive past Tijuana, meaning you could even do a honeymoon road trip from San Diego. There, Rosario Beach Hotel is the place to base yourselves. Or fly to Los Cabos airport and take a bit of a drive to the dreamy adults-only Rancho Pescadero in Todos Santos, home to surf shops and enviable waves set against picturesque mountain peaks and plenty of palms. Beyond the longboard experience there’s deep-sea fishing, yoga, horseback riding, cooking classes and hiking to indulge in. Many are surprised to learn Los Cabos actually has fantastic surf, too: the dreamy One&Only Palmilla has Tropicsurf programs perfect for couples, while the new Viceroy Los Cabos is in a perfect place for you to have your choice of breaks and level of difficulty.
Venture to Morocco for not only serious doses of exotic culture, amazing cuisine, art and design, and desert and mountain escapades but some of Africa’s most gorgeous and consistent surfing, too. The town of Imsouane, while not offering five-star luxury, is where intrepid and adventurous couples will find Magic Bay, the best place for both beginners and experienced wave-riders to learn or catch long, rolling, gentle waves. Or there’s boho Essaouira up the coast, a charming blue and white walled town on the Atlantic with windsurfing and regular, as well as camels on the beach. Romantic options for your overnights include L’Heure Bleue Palais, while Naya Traveler can arrange private surf lessons alongside other memorable experiences.
If you’re truly stoked on surf, a tour of Australia might be your ultimate getaway—just make sure to go in their summer (our winter) for more comfortable water conditions. Bondi is a classic choice to kick things off, and the surf-styled QT Bondi puts you just steps from the legendary beach, not to mention the iconic Icebergs pool. The Gold Coast is a no-brainer for those chasing waves, and Western Australia has a much higher quotient of surf spots to people—you can find magical places with far fewer people. If it’s balance you desire, go for the hippie-inflected town of Byron Bay, home to epically gorgeous beaches like Clarks and Tallow, plus opportunities to kayak with dolphins, hike in rainforests, dive on reefs and balloon over the aquamarine coast when you’re not doing a session with Let’s Go Surfing Byron Bay or sleeping in your plush, chic room at Elements of Byron Bay.
There are countless reasons to head to South Africa if you feel any affection for beautiful nature, incredible food, delicious wine or impressive wild animals on safari. Of course, Mother Nature graced Africa’s southernmost nation with wonderful waves, too. In Cape Town you’ll need to drive out of town a bit to find the best surf, but you can still indulge in pure luxury at The Silo or Belmont Mount Nelson during your off-hours. Or take the most spectacular road trip of your life along the Garden Route to Hermanus (stay at the pristine and romantic Birkenhead House and join the GM for his daily morning surf) for bounteous breaks and humpback whale sightings from the infinity pool, and to Plettenberg Bay, where the tony hotel The Plettenberg is a lovely home base for awe-inspiring hiking, dolphin watching and surfing.
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out the favored activity at Malibu’s The Surfrider, where colorful retro specially shaped boards are free to borrow and lessons with pros are available to guests of the flawlessly designed boutique hotel at one of Southern California’s most famous breaks. Up north there’s The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay, where the Titans of Mavericks surf competition attracts big-wave surfers pulling off jaw-dropping feats, though there are also beginner spots to try. In bucolic Santa Barbara there’s Hotel Californian, overlooking the Pacific, just a short trip to half a dozen acclaimed waves and that easy-going beach-town lifestyle that is so welcome on a honeymoon. Orange County’s excellent surf is best enjoyed from the super comfy confines of the luxe Montage Laguna Beach, which feels like the beach house you’ve always dreamed of owning.
If you’d pass out at the sight of, say, Kelly Slater and Chris Hemsworth catching a party wave (not sure they’ve actually done it, but it would be epic!), Tavarua Island Resort should be your pick. Fiji’s surf is within easy reach from the island that seems to define paradise. Not too far is another that you won’t believe is real: Six Senses Fiji, on lush Malolo Island (also offering Tropicsurf courses plus the most effectively relaxing spa ever). Then there’s Laucala, the private island idyll where you can explore the world under the in a submarine when you’re not having the most five-star surf of your life: the smiling Fijian staff will pick you up on jet ski at the end of each wave you ride, and return you to the lineup to save your arms from all that extra, unnecessary paddling.
This honeymoon is a much needed getaway after your wedding day.

At the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis’ first-ever hearing on April 4th, some of this country’s most powerful climate advocates – all of them young people – delivered moving testimony laying out the urgent need for lawmakers to support climate change action. And with a vote to recommit the United States to the Paris Climate Agreement expected later this month, the timing couldn’t have been better.
These activists were here speaking their truths to help drive that point home. They are doing their work to take care of the people and places they love. It was inspiring to see them not only use the power of storytelling to share with such conviction, but also stand firmly by their beliefs even with some pretty pointed questions sent their way.
We were at the hearing to help lift up the voices of young people across the country who are demanding their leaders take bold action on climate.
Aji Piper pointed out systemic issues that are inherently intertwined with environmental issues. Melody Zhang so poignantly testified that those most affected — people of color, women and people living under the poverty line — are the ones hurt the most by climate change, while contributing to it the least. Lindsay Cooper of Louisiana said climate change was a challenge her state lives with every day. Chris Suggs’ presence was its own whole inspiration! His community had to rebuild after being hit by Hurricanes Florence and Matthew and he stepped up. His ability to organize so affectively with his community is the definition of resilience.
These fierce activists came straight out and said what they believed — whether or not it was what these members of Congress wanted to hear. That is powerful.
It is also necessary. Climate change is a collective issue that we must address now — in a transformational, intersectional and just way. That starts with making sure our elected officials take serious action to keep our planet and our communities safe.
The Climate Action Now Act is a good first step. It gives Congress the opportunity to take action against climate change, starting with a recommitment to the Paris Climate Agreement. As we heard from the young climate leaders, we can’t sit by and let climate change continue to ravage our communities.
No matter where you are in your life, if you have the privilege to have some sort of platform or even the privilege to create one, you have the responsibility to take action to share that privilege in some way with those that don’t.
That includes this planet and the hurt we are putting it through. That includes every living being affected by climate change.
Melissa Martínez is a Tom Graff Diversity fellow at Environmental Defense Fund.

Students who wish to change their schedules can do so online prior to the first day of the term or once the term has begun by submitting an Add/Drop form to the Office of Records and Registration. Please note if a class has already met, students will not be permitted to enroll in it. Students may not enroll in an online class after the term has begun. All registrations in an online class must be done prior to the first day of the term. All registrations in a hybrid class must be done by the first day of the term. Permission to add a course after it has met can only be granted by the appropriate Academic Dean.
Students who do not complete the course and who do not complete the withdrawal process will receive an F unless there are extenuating circumstances. If extenuating circumstances prevail, the student must contact the Office of Counseling and Student Success to be considered for the late withdrawal process. The Academic Calendar should be reviewed carefully in terms of when the last date to drop classes is.
To withdraw officially from a course, students must complete a Withdrawal Form or may submit a request electronically following the instructions under “Withdrawing from Courses.” Merely notifying the instructor is not an official withdrawal. Students who officially withdraw from a course will receive a “W’’ designation. A “W” designation will not adversely affect the student’s GPA. The withdrawal will be effective as of the date the student submits the Withdrawal Form to the Office of Records and Registration. There is a $10 Service Fee per withdrawn course. Students who do not complete the course and who do not complete the withdrawal process will receive an “F” unless there are extenuating circumstances. If extenuating circumstances prevail, the student must contact the Office of Counseling Services to be considered for the late withdrawal process.
If a student drops courses within the refund period, a refund of tuition will be processed according to the refund policy dates and no courses or grades will be included on the student’s transcript. Depending on the term and the week the student is withdrawing from he/she may receive withdrawal designations. However, the faculty member may still assign a grade of “F’’ if he or she properly notified the student by using the Faculty Notification of Possible Failure Form. After 75% of the semester is completed, students are committed to complete the courses and receive grades. A student who fails to officially withdraw will receive a grade of “F.” The “W” designation will not be issued after 75% of the course is completed unless extenuating circumstances prevail or without approval from the faculty member.
Note to all financial aid recipients: Please contact the Financial Aid Office before withdrawing from classes. Withdrawing may affect the amount of aid you were awarded or the amount of aid you can expect to receive.
