Following a difficult end to 2018, equities rallied strongly in the first three months of 2019, as investors took a more positive view on ongoing macroeconomic and geo-political issues. In particular, there was encouraging news-flow surrounding the US-China trade negotiations. A temporary truce was first initiated by both governments in December last year, with face-to-face talks then progressing in Q1. There was also an economic pick-up in the Chinese economy in Q1, driven in part by an increased availability in credit and many market participants believe the government will continue to adopt a supportive stance.
As a result, China was one of the strongest performing equity markets in the first quarter, with the Fund’s significant weighting here proving beneficial to overall relative performance. For example, large-cap technology giants Tencent and Alibaba saw significant gains. Markets linked to the Chinese economy, such as Australia, also performed well. Elsewhere in Asia, Korean stocks under performed due to a softer corporate outlook and the swift end to the US – North Korea summit. The ASEAN nations also lagged in performance terms, with the Thai election outlook remaining uncertain.
Looking forward, the ongoing negotiations between US President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping should help support the outlook for Asian equity markets, whilst valuations are also attractive. Importantly for us, looking past the macroeconomic and geopolitical news-flow, there also still remains a number of attractive stock-specific stories that we are invested in. These are based on a number of themes, such as the growth of electric vehicles, automation and the growth in domestic consumer spending across the region, that should remain uncorrelated to the wider market and deliver long-term growth to the portfolio.

We’ve all been there. We board a plane and it’s packed to the hilt.
Well, a Scottish woman who was flying to Greece had the opposite experience: She was the only passenger on the 189-seat plane.
Grieve said she struggled to keep her composure because a full plane or not, the crew still had to go through the safety procedures prior to take off.
“The girl stood up and was doing the whole thing and she said she had to do it, it’s a legal requirement,” Grieve said. “She had to do the whole thing in front of me, and I was the only one sitting there.
The flight on Sunday was the last one from Glasgow to the Greek island of Crete this year.
It’s “not unusual for the final outbound flight of the season to have fewer bookings than normal,” a Jet2 spokeswoman told CNN.
“We’re delighted that Karon got to experience our VIP customer service,” the spokeswoman said.
Grieve later posted a photo of her holding a drink surrounded by rows upon rows of empty seats.
Despite describing the experience as one that “couldn’t have been nicer,” Grieve said she’s seen a lot of negative reactions online. Many complained that flying one person was a “disgusting” waste of money, she said.
“There’s always someone that’s going to be negative though, isn’t there?” she said.

The state's worst outbreak of mumps in years may have originated at North Texas cheerleading competitions this month and last.
Dallas County's Department of Health and Human Services said in a release Dec. 13 that 48 cases of mumps had been diagnosed in Johnson County in the past two weeks. In Dallas County, nine adults have been infected with mumps, the department said Friday.
"The increased number of mumps cases reported in the North Texas area underscore the importance of getting your children vaccinated," said Zachary Thompson, the county's health director.
After being exposed to the mumps, symptoms typically develop within two weeks but can emerge as long as 25 days later. The Mayo Clinic lists the following warning signs: fever, headaches and muscle aches, fatigue, and swollen and painful salivary glands.
"They look like chipmunks," Dr. Laurie Berger with Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano told NBC5.

We have received two interesting ‘Ask the Docs‘ Questions today that have a common thread in Creating with Mindful Choices. They are both coming from the awareness of being in victim energy, and each person could choose to be on the threshold of empowering themselves by examining current limiting beliefs and making mindful choices.
YOU are in charge of creating your life by your choices, and what the future ultimately holds is up to you! We are ALL very powerful in our choices as we are truly ONLY in control of 3 things in our life: 1) Where we choose to focus our thoughts (on what is negative in our life, or on what our heartfelt desire to create is); 2) What emotions we choose to dance in (anger, resentment, guilt, shame, fear, love or compassion); and 3) What we choose to do in our actions– and a choice to do nothing IS a choice. Become the master of your thoughts and emotions by first becoming mindful of whether you are creating from Fear (anger, resentment, guilt, shame, sense of abandonment) or from Love/Compassion. Once you are aware of your intention (Fear vs Love), you can make a choice to transform negative or lower vibrational thoughts and emotions, set your heartfelt goals of what you truly desire to create, and go re-create your life one decision at a time from the present moment. You are never a victim of anyone or anything in your life; and you have the free will to make changes as you choose differently. If you have obstacles to creating what you truly desire in your life, then check out our books which are essentially manuals for personal transformation to empower you to make more inspired and informed choices that create more joy and peace in your life. We also have great tips on our website.
We each have a hand in co-creating our own health and wellness. Self nurturing is an essential part of this and so is following up with the medical doctor or health practitioner dealing with your physical issues as this is part of self love. Truly integrative medicine uses both approaches which 1) deal directly with issues already physically present and creating discord in the body (Western medicine approaches do this efficiently when we have something that can potentially ‘do us in’ rapidly); and 2) deal with thoughts, emotions or energetic blockages that create a template for discord to develop in our body (Mind-Body medicine techniques, meditation, Acupuncture, Energy Medicine, Energy Psychology, Qigong, etc.).

As I’d previously mentioned in my post about Karkin… as I was heading over to tame the metallic crab, Skitterflame popped up as well. Karkin was a bit higher on my list of priorities, so I went after him first.
Afterward, I ventured over to Skitterflame’s spawn location to see if anyone was taming her. There was a Tauren hunter there who didn’t appear to be checked out on the taming strategy. They pulled Skitterflame without using any traps in the process, and were quickly beat down.
Given that my stable was full, I hearthed to SW and dropped off a few of my pets, hoping to rush back and get an opportunity to tame Skitterflame. When I returned a few minutes later, no one was there.
As with all of these new taming challenge pets, acquiring Skitterflame requires a particular approach. The trick with Skitterflame is getting her to ‘cool down’ enough to become tamable. When first encountered, Skitterflame has a buff on her called Superheated, which prevents her from being tamed. To remove the buff, you need to chill her out with a series of traps.
Kill the two Obsidium Punishers that are nearest to Skitterflame’s spawn location. You need this area to kite Skitterflame, and these guys can be a pain. After you get rid of them, dismiss your pet.
Place a Freezing Trap near the small slope in front of where she spawns.
Wait for the cooldown of Freezing Trap to come back, then pull.
Once Skitterflame lands in your first Freezing Trap, drop a second one a few feet in front of her and start heading left up the path where the Obsidium Punisher guys were.
You’ll need to slow Skitterflame a few more times with Concussive Shot, then launch an Ice Trap in her path once it’s available.
As Skitterflame is passing through your Ice Trap, Superheated will fall off and she will then become tamable.
Disengage and Aspect of the Cheetah can help a bit with maintaining range during this encounter, so be sure to utilize them if needed. If Skitterflame gets within melee range during the end of the taming proccess, don’t sweat it… at this point her energy will be so low that she won’t be hitting too hard. Skitterflame als has a buff called Burning Frenzy, which scales damage based upon her current energy level. Once within taming range, her damage is quite low.
If you’re specced into Entrapment, don’t bother with Snake Traps — Skitterflame seems to be unaffected by the snare.
Oh, and one last little bit… don’t let her energy level reach zero, or else she will croak. If you happen to trap Skitterflame in a Freezing Trap as she’s reaching zero energy, be sure to break her out of it — don’t wait for the trap to wear off as it might kill her.
Like you, I just recently ventured into the Molten Front because my computer had stopped working right when 4.2 dropped and I couldn’t get it fixed for 6 weeks because of other reasons. I spent the last few weeks just building up my PvP set and now I’m starting to seriously do my dailies. Just yesterday, I found Kirix, and since I didn’t want him, I helped someone else get him. Took her a while but she finally got it in the end. About 15 minutes after I found Kirix, Karkin spawned. Since I didn’t want Karkin either, I let her have it. While I was on my way to Kirix, I spotted Solix, who I personally wanted but thought that I’d get him later. When I went to check after Kirix was tamed, no Solix! Either it was a hunter pet or someone else had already tamed it.
However, Scare Beast can be used “properly”. Right after the second Freezing Trap, you can cast Scare Beast to buy you some time to set up traps.
Very, very important is to break a Freezing Trap once Superheated falls. I fumbled one time and ended up killing Skitterflame.
Grats Gar and good luck to the others!
Just an FYI, you can scare beast and tame him immediately also.

The town where the couple first met becomes the backdrop for an intimate event filled with Argentinean traditions.
Karly and Christian (who's from Argentina) met in Breckenridge, when he was living there on a work visa and she was visiting from Denver one weekend. "Breckenridge was the place that brought us together," she says. "We had to get married there!"
"I loved the crystal details on my dress," Karly says of her Priscilla of Boston gown. "They reminded me of icicles in winter."
The ceremony was held at St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church, which was built in 1881. "We loved that the church had been a part of the Breckenridge community for so long," Karly says. "Plus, it was the perfect size for our 70 guests."
The groom's family traveled from Argentina for the wedding, so the couple recited their vows in both Spanish and English. The ceremony also included a passage from Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, read by the bride's sisters. "It reflected the journey Christian and I have taken to be together," Karly says.
The reception was held in the Imperial Ballroom at Beaver Run Resort where the tables featured arrangements of crystal–bead–covered branches. The resort catered the buffet–style dinner, which included Thai, Italian, and local Colorado cuisine.
The couple and their guests donned masks and hats for the "cotillón"—an interval of traditional Latin American merrymaking that takes place around midnight and gets guests energized for the rest of the party. "The DJ played upbeat Spanish music," says the bride. "We had everyone on the dance floor!"
Karly carried a bouquet of purple vanda orchids, white tulips, and anemones. Christian wore a coordinating boutonniere that featured a single vanda orchid and a tulip. Flowers by Petal and Bean.
In another Argentinean tradition, charms attached to ribbons were placed between the layers of the wedding cake, which was made by Sugar. "Each single girl pulls a ribbon, and whoever gets the ring charm is the next to marry."
A Great Time DJs spun music from all over the world, including some Middle Eastern tunes for Christian's dad, who's originally from Egypt.

UPDATE 12/6/18: Mayor Abu-Taleb of Oak Park states that Unity Temple “is one of the crown jewels of the community” and that any development on the site of the U.S. Bank building “addresses the concerns of this monument.” Read more here.
A new high-rise development is being proposed in Oak Park, Illinois, less than a half block away from Wright’s Unity Temple at 835 Lake Street. It would become the tallest building in Oak Park if constructed at 28 stories. Developed by Chicago-based Golub & Company, the building would have 256 residential units.
Golub & Company hosted a community meeting on Nov. 26, where many people voiced concern about how the tall structure will cast shadows during morning services at Unity Temple.
The developer and architecture firm, Solomon Cordwell Buenz, state that a lot of thought has gone into the massing of the building.
The Conservancy is in contact with representatives of the developer, the Village of Oak Park and Unity Temple, and will continue to monitor the situation. In addition to compromising the experience of the landmark Wright building, our concern is how this new building will affect our recently resubmitted revised World Heritage nomination, which will now be reviewed by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), a private organization that is an official adviser to the World Heritage Committee. In May 2019, ICOMOS will make a recommendation as to whether the nomination should be listed, for the consideration of the World Heritage Committee, which meets in June-July 2019 and will make a decision on the nomination at that time.

You are at:Home»Miscellaneous»SAC Facing Racketeering Charges?
Things just seem to be getting worse for Steven A. Cohen and his SAC Capital Advisors. First, we learned that criminal charges were being filed and that prosecutors considered the collective officers’ crimes were a “pattern of insider trading”.
Now, though, it looks as though the law most often used against suspected members of the mafia are being considered as well. The law, Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, could be applied to the $15 billion hedge fund. It’s not yet been decided for sure, but it looks as though prosecutors are leaning towards this option as the case moves forward. Not only that, but prosecutors, in their efforts of pushing Cohen into testifying before the grand jury, let it slip of the possible repercussions if he chooses not to testify. In other words, it appears they laid it on the line: testify or else.
said Steven Crimmins, a partner at K&L Gates in Washington, who at one time worked with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He also said the threat could be just a leverage tool with the goal of getting Cohen to plead out to lesser charges; RICO carries jail time and the fines are usually massive. But if prosecutors do use RICO, they could introduce the theory that Cohen was able to keep his distance from the allegations of insider trading, even as he knew some employees were actually engaging in the crime.
And if Cohen’s wondering how this has played out for others, he need look no further than the case against Michael Milken. Federal prosecutors used RICO to go after Milken and his white collar crimes in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Prosecutors claimed his firm, Drexel Burnham Lambert, routinely broke securities laws. Milken pled guilty to lesser charges, was sentenced to two years in jail and paid $1.1 billion, $200 million of which consisted of criminal fines and $900 million of which settled civil suits.
On the other hand, in order to bring the threat full circle, the head honchos at the Justice Department have to give their seal of approval and word is, that kind of support doesn’t exist at this point. Plus, there could be problems with the sheer number of employees – more than 1,000 and less than a dozen have been looked at. The fact is, there are a lot of people – and even some former prosecutors – who can’t figure out why they would want Cohen to testify; odds are, he’d only plead the Fifth (meaning he’d not testify on the grounds of self incrimination).
said Michael Bachner, a one-time federal prosecutor who now represents defendants charged with securities crimes.
I think it’s purely an effort to cause him to assert his Fifth Amendment privilege and knowing that will get communicated to the media.
Others say there could be another motive behind this decision. By now, most of us are familiar with Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who has emerged as a superstar in these types of cases, including those against the nation’s biggest banks. In late 2012, he went after Bank of America and hit with a whopping $1 billion lawsuit. Those accusations include defrauding the government. He was also named as one of Time magazine’s “The World’s 100 Most Influential People” in 2012. There’s a reason Wall Street fears him: he never backs down. And some in the know believe Bharara is more focused on bringing criminal charges against Cohen’s 21-year-old hedge fund in an attempt to punish the billionaire investor in the pocketbook by forcing his fund to fold. It wouldn’t be surprising considering Bharara has no patience for criminals who create companies for the goal of engaging in criminal behavior. He’s already referred to SAC Capital as a “criminal enterprise” – and he did so in open court as he entered into plea agreements with those who’ve already received their punishment.
Three decades ago, U.S. securities regulators had Cohen in their crosshairs for the first time; and, like this time, insider trading was the core of the probe. And this was before he ever even launched SAC Capital. And, as one might expect, Cohen asserted his Fifth Amendment rights. There have been at least two more investigations involving Cohen. Odds are, it’s likely that Baharara has simply had a bellyful of his being able to skirt the same laws others must abide by. One former judge, Richard Holwell, says it could be the subpoena has everything to do with testimony Cohen already provided.
On Monday, after hearing he could be about to receive a subpoena, Cohen announced cooperation with those involved with the investigation would be sharply reined in. There’s no doubt Cohen’s sweating, especially after learning even more subpoenas had been issued. Already, there have been at least nine SAC employees who have been charged with or implicated in insider-trading while working at Cohen’s fund. Five have pleaded guilty just a few weeks ago SAC agreed to pay a $616 million penalty to settle a lawsuit arising from one of the investigations. Still, the unconditional cooperation is still ringing in the ears of those involved.
Finally, there’s a deadline looming for investors, who control 40 percent of the assets. Some have already been asked to redeem around $1.7 billion from the fund and the deadline for others is June 3rd. It’s not known what will ultimately play out in this area of the brouhaha.

In this week’s dubious-at-best but we-can’t-look-away news, Bachelor in Paradise has already seen some ridiculous hookups. Welllll, according to these guys anyway.
To be honest, we’re still trying to contain our excitement over the fact that a couple of Jojo’s cast-offs have come along for the ride. And if you don’t know who Jojo is—well, catch the hell up. Now back to paradise.
Keira has strolled onto the beach and has (as expected) taken no prisoners. Between shacking up with Michael Turnbull (a la Sam Frost’s season) which reportedly sparked a full-blown BF, then moving onto Jared who was fresh off the plane from America. Oh, and apparently Jarrod’s (love fern Jarrod, that is) heart has already been broken but who’s really keeping tabs on that one?
At this point, it’s all speculation and we love every single delicious moment of it. Bring. It. On.

According to Herdotus the Babylonians had no physicians; the patient was brought out in the market place and all passers-by had to confer with him "to discover whether they have themselves been afflicted with the same disease or have seen others so afflicted and advise him to have recourse to the same treatment as that by which they escaped a similar disease, or as they have known to cure others."
But the code of Hammurabi with its rewards and penalties for physicians, gives a glimpse of an already more highly organized system at a period earlier than 2000 BC - long before Herodotus. The Code enacts that for a successful operation which saves the eye of the patient the fee be ten shekels of silver in the case of a "gentleman," but only five shekels and two shekels in the case of a poor man and owned slave respectively. For an unsuccessful operation on a freeman causing death or the loss of the eye, the surgeon shall have his hands cut off; in the case of a slave the penalty was to replace him by another.
Babylonian medicine was probably in the hands of the priests of the healing divinity Ea and his son Marduk, whilst surgery, as almost everywhere else in early medicine, was in the hands of a special class of skilled hand-workers. The etymological derivation of surgery is significant for ceironrgia, means handicraft. The priestly, non-operative practice was not regulated by law; but that the work of the surgeons was not altogether despised is shown by the very liberal scale of fees, for five shekels was equivalent to the yearly rent of a good type of house and represented 150 times the daily wage of a workman (1/30 shekel). The medicine of the priests was a mixture of superstition and ignorance; treatment consisted of incantations and also the administration of foul remedies - probably to disgust the demons causing the disease. It would appear that the practice of the surgeons was supervised by the priests. but it is by no means clear what their work was. It is quite possible that the greater part of the Babylonian surgery consisted of couching cataract. On the other hand, the eye operation spoken of may merely have been incision of an abscess of the lacrimal sac. The whole evidence turns on the significance of an obscure work in the code, naqabtu.
The earliest records of Egyptian medicine date back to a period not much later than the Code of Hammurabi, the Edwin Smith papyrus to c. 1600 B.C., the Brugsch papyrus to c. 1300 B.C. and the Ebers papyrus to c.1550B.C. A remarkably advanced state of ophthalmology can be inferred from the Ebers papyrus in which a section is devoted to eye disease, treatment rather than clinical descriptions being given. INcantations, foul applications and all the other manifestations of superstitious ignorance abound, but there is evidence of an advance that must have involved centuries of empirical practice and observation. The most significant development is the recognition of a number of distinct diseases. According to Ebers the Egyptians knew such conditions as blepharitis, chalazion, ectropion, entropion, trichiasis, granulations, chemosis, pinguecula, pterygium, leucoma, staphyloma, iritis, cataract, hyphaema, inflammation, ophthalmoplegia and dacryocystitis. The attempt at differential treatment implies a degree of differential diagnosis; nevertheless it was still the medicine of the temple that they practised. Indeed the Ebers papyrus is probably the work of priests, thought it is not, as was once thought, a part of the lost six medical books of Hermes containing the divine knowledge of healing as set down by the Egyptian priests.
There is no evidence that Egyptian surgery had made any marked advance; the only surgical procedure mentioned in the Ebers papyrus is epilation, a practice that must have been widely spread judging from the frequency with which epilation forceps have been found in relics of the New Empire.
Later development in Egypt brought but little advance, though there is much evidence that Egyptian ophthalmology was held in high esteem in ancient world. Herdotus relates that Cyrus of Persia sent to Amazis, the king of Egypt, for a physician to cure him of his eye trouble. The decline of Egyptian civilization brought with it that type of specialization which is based not on expert knowledge of a detailed field, but on ignorance of every other subject. Both the prophet Jeremiah and Herodotus found the country full of physicians and Herodotus remarks that "one treats only the diseases of eye, another those of the head, the teeth, the abdomen, or of the internal organs."
Nowhere in the Ancient East was medicine ever freed from the shackles of supernatural belief. Observation was coloured by preconceived notions of the demoniacal origin of disease. Here and there a glimpse of a modern procedure is seen, based on methods and premises different from ours. In Hindu medicine there is a suggestion, in the writings of Suçruta, of the earliest record of surgical treatment of cataract by couching. In Hebrew writings there is a textually obscure reference to improvement of a woman's appearance by having a golden eye (in the place of a missing one), an interesting and significant remark in the light of later history, for prostheses made of gold were the first to be used and were not introduced until the 16th century at the time of Ambroise Parè. Early Greek medicine differed in no essentials from that of the rest of the ancient world. There was the same priestcraft, the same temple worship and supernatural cures. Nor were these temples as holy as they seemed. It was only with the rise of the Asclepiadaæ, a group claiming descent from the God Aesculapius, but dissociating themselves from the priests of the temples, that Greek medicine began. One of these Asclepiads, Hippocrates the Second, also known as Hippocrates the Great, or simply as Hippocrates, born on the island of Cos, finally liberated medicine from the thrall of the supernatural. His method is the method of modern medicine; the study of disease as an objective natural phenomenon. The lasting achievements of the Greeks are commemorated in the term physician derived from fusiz, natura. Hence forth the physician was essentially no longer a priest but a naturalist.
Ophthalmology benefited at the hands of Hippocrates and his immediate followers mainly in a negative way - in discarding the supernatural element rather than in any definite advance in the understanding of ocular disease. Their notions of the structure and function of the eye had hardly advanced, if at all, beyond that which the much older Egyptian civilization knew, though a a predecessor of Hippocrates, Alcmaeon, is credited with the discovery of the optic nerve. Their recognition of eye disease was confined to what could be observed and deduced from a knowledge limited to the superficial anatomy of the eye combined with an utter lack of understanding of ocular physiology. It is mainly in its influence on the further development of ophthalmology rather than in its achievement, that Hippocratic ophthalmology is remarkable, though it is well to recall that their treatment of some forms of conjunctivitis by irritation is still the basis of the modern treatment of trachoma. When they went astray they were wrong in the same way as the modern world is wrong when mistaken treatment is given on the strength of a wrong pathology; their failures were different in nature from the failures of those who invoked the aid of the gods or attempted to cast out the devil.
Greek medicine stretches over a period much longer than the medicine of the modern period. From the appearance of Hippocrates to the end of the fruitful period of Rome is well over 800 years. During that time there was a continual development in which ophthalmology shared. Greek medicine soon became extinguished on its native soil but developed apace, first in Alexandria and then in Rome. Of the great achievements of the Alexandrian period one can only infer by comparing the end of the purely Greek period with the beginning of the Roman period, the actual records of the Alexandrian school having been lost. The study of the human anatomy began in Alexandria, and the earliest Roman writings on the anatomy of the eye, thos of Rufus, are a measure of the advance made by the Alexandrian school. After the decline of Alexandria, it was in Rome that the Greek spirit found a home. There medicine was so entirely Greek that the Romans who practised it felt compelled to adopt Greek names for themselves and their remedies. Of the writings of this period there remain thos of Celsus, Pliny and Galen; reference to other writer whose works are lost are to be found in these and later books. Galen's strictly ophthalmic writings have been lost.
Of a period later than Galen's there are the works of Aetius of Amida and of Paul of Aegina, giving a full account of the medical and surgical practice towards the end of Byzantine period. In Celsus there are detailed descriptions of couching for cataract, of operations for ankyloblepharon, dacryocycstitis, and of plastic procedures for trichiasis, lagophthalmos and ectropion. Hypopyon is first mentioned by Galen. Of Galen's contributions to ophthalmology it is perhaps enough to say that nothing of any value was added to his anatomy of the eye till the beginning of the 17th century; his theory of vision was however a grievous errors. The later writers of the Greek period added some details to the practice of ophthalmology, but nothing whatever to its theory. The beacon lit by Hippocrates and tended by Alexandria and Rome was slowly sinking in a world plunging deeper and deeper into the mists of the Dark Ages.
Numerous busts have survived of the allegedly blind poet Homer. The earliest portrait type, which is believed to derive from a Greek original dated c.450BC, does not, however, attempt to render his sightlessness in an explicit manner, but merely shows the poet's eyes closed in deep contemplation. Not until the second century BC did any artist attempt to portray his blindness. One of the earliest such portraits, of which there are several examples extant, has been justly described as "amongst the most beautiful portrayals of poetic genius". The absence of modelling to the eyeballs, the heaviness of the raised eyebrows, all focus the viewer's attention unremittingly on the eyes. The air of intense, almost rapt absorption and introspection exquisitely captures the inner world of the blind poet.
Commonplace sufferers from eye complaints were not accorded any such deference. A terracotta from Tarsos of an emaciated man in a pointed cap exhibits "a pervasive air of stupidity, corruption and sordid cunning". The eye are markedly asymmetrical, one being circular, the other a half closed slit. Though the inspiration for this type may have derived from a comic mask, the mask in turn probably represents an attempt to render trachoma, an infectious eye disease which was probably very prevalent in the ancient world, as it still is in the Middle East today.
Sudden loss of sight was also depicted with some frequency in Attic red-figure, due to the popularity of the myth of the blinding of Thamyris. On an Attic hydria dated c.430 the musician, whose eyes are closed, registers his pain and terror by stretching out his arms and letting his lyre slide from his lap. Sculptors, too, attempted the subject. Pausanias tells us that a statue of Thamyris, "already blind and holding a broken lyre", was dedicated on Mount Helikon, sacred to the Muses. It perhaps served as a warning to over-ambitious bards.
The fitfully flickering flame of civilization was saved from extinction by the invading hordes of the Eastern conquerors sweeping across the known world under the banner of Allah. As before in the case of Rome, so once again Greece took its captors captive. By means of translations, first into Syriac and later into Arabic, a knowledge of the older Greek civilization was spread throughout the Mohammadean world. Ophthalmology took a new lease of life, though progress was severely handicapped by the lack of anatomical studies. Hospitals, departmentalized very much in the modern manner, grew up and ophthalmic departments were always large and important. Many operative procedures known to Galen and his successors were perfected and some important additions were made. Numerous treatises on diseases of the eye appeared, all drawing their inspiration from the Greek writings. But the centuries of Arabian dominance lacked the eager questing that characterized Greece. The Arabians perfected old procedures rather than explored new avenues; they revered rather than challenged the authority of tradition. So heavily did the hand of dead ages lie upon them, that though there is much that is valuable in Arabian ophthalmology, it is is incidental rather than the result of a conscious effort. Not infrequently they stumbled on facts and conceptions that could not be harmonized with the traditional knowledge, but they only cut their new cloth into ill-fitting archaic patterns. They had not learnt the crowing wisdom that fact is greater than dogma. It is characteristic of the period that Ali ben Isa (Jesus Hali), Alcoatin and Ammar ben Ali wrote text-books that were used for centuries.
Like the Western civilization that followed it, the Arabian period was not a national movement. It was Arabian in language only; the men who made it were of that variety of nationality and religion that were to be found between Cordova and Bahdad. When decay ultimately overtook the Arabian renaissance, the torch had already been handed on to the rising civilization of Western Europe by means of translations into Latin from the ARabic versions of the Greek masters. Many mistakes were perpetuated by these translations and retranslations and it needed the European renaissance to direct onward the pure stream of Greek thought.
Whilst the Arabians nursed and revived a moribund civilization, knowledge did not altogether perish in the western domains of what was once the Roman Empire. Here and there in the monasteries intellectual life flickered, and some stray sparks would be brought by Jews coming from Mohammedan lands. The beginnings of a systematized intellectual effort is found in the schools of Salerno and Montpellier. In the 11th century Constantinus Africanus, a widely travelled man and at one time teacher in Salerno, translated ARabic writings into Latin, thus beginning a movement that gathered speed with the years. But ophthalmology in those days of twilight was nevertheless little more than a debased handicraft; couching for cataract, like cutting for stone, was an operation which everyone was allowed to perform, and was in fact left to itinerant practitioners. The regular practitioners of surgery advised against eye operations and paid but scanty attention to eye disease in general. The writings of Peter the Spaniard (later Pope John XXI) are a treatise on the hygiene of the eye and contain no reference to surgical treatment. The writings of Master Zacharias, a Salernitan of the 12th century, are of little significance but those of Benevenutus Grassus are of considerable importance in the history of ophthalmology. Little is known of the author, but the book had a great influence in spreading knowledge of eye disease. The original seems to have been written in Hebrew and there are translations in Latin, Provençal, Old French and Old English. There is little new in the book; it is essentially a good summary of Greek and Arabian teaching. The importance that medieval ophthalmology attached to it can be gathered from the fact that it is the only ophthalmic incunable. Guy de Chauliac and John Yperman were influenced by Benevenutus' book, Yperman himself contributing to ophthalmology the conception of contagiosity of ophthalmia.
If the Western Middle Ages produced no memorable oculists, it produced geniuses who in their versatility contributed to ophthalmology. Roger Bacon's ophthalmic achievements include the rediscovery of the crossing of the optic nerves at the chiasma and the first mention of convex lenses for presbyopia., whilst Leonardo da Vinci either realized or came very near to realizing the principle of the camera obscura as applied to the eye.
If the practice of ophthalmology had hardly advanced during the long centuries that followed Greek medicine at its height in the Rome of Galen, it had little to gain at the Renaissance by looking backward. Further advance in ophthalmology was made possible by the study of the anatomy of the eye, and by an understanding of the mechanism of vision. This was the wrok of the 16th and 17th centuries and paved the way for the great pathological and clinical progress of the 18th century, the century of cataract extraction and the artificial pupil. The first half of the 19th century was a remarkable period of consolidation, and the second half brought the operative treatment of glaucoma, whilst the ophthalmoscope opened a world undreamt of and raised ophthalmology to the most exact of clinical studies.

I confess, I find it slightly disturbing that India's trademark monument is a tomb. For one, the whole concept of a dead body being your most recognized landmark is unappetizing and for another, it looks like an opulent palace which is bound to be under-appreciated by those no longer inclined to tea parties.
It is the city of Agra that boasts the Taj Mahal, a day trip from Delhi by train. In theory, it should have taken us just three hours to reach our destination, but this timetable was designed without allowances for the Delhi fog. I was all for blaming this unexpected twilighting of the city on pollution (the auto rickshaws may run on natural gas but those road-walking goats just looked guilty) but it turns out it is a genuine weather phenomenon that attacks Delhi's winter. The net result was we departed Delhi at 7 am but did not arrive in Agra until 1 pm.
While rather long, the train ride itself was captivating. We travelled by slum dwellings that looked like whole villages with winding streets, monkeys sitting on walls by wheat fields drenched in mist and once a large pig on a station platform.
We rode in a second class carriage, seated in what was called a 'sleeper coach' with three people sitting on each long bench seat. There was no air conditioning, but about a gazzilion fans hung from the ceiling to ease the hot air in the warmer months. Up and down the carriages, venders walked with tea, cold drinks and crisps. Oddly, a woman also came by and demanded money. I ignored her since THIS DID NOT MAKE SENSE but she shook my friend awake who gave her some change.
"I don't understand," I said. "Why did you have to give her money?"
"It's what she does," was my reply.
I have to say this was a rather unsatisfactory answer.
The train network in India was first laid down by the British but has been maintained and extended by the Indian government to become the forth largest rail network in the world. Longer distance trains are designed for more comfort than the carriages for our relatively short journey, and are one of the best ways to get around the country.
When we arrived in Agra, we hired a taxi for the day at a flat rate; a good move since the major sites are surprisingly far from the station. Despite its size, the Taj Mahal is amazingly well hidden from the surrounding streets so that the first glimpse I caught of its large marble macaroon domes was after I'd passed through the site's main gates.
We took a camel up the long driveway because.... well, because we could.
The Taj Mahal was build by the 5th Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan, to be the mausoleum for this beloved third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died during the birth of their 14th child. Its construction began in 1632 and was completed around 1653. Shah Jahan dictated that a huge brick scaffold would be used for the building work, whose design mirrored that of the tomb itself. This led to concerns regarding the time it would take to dissemble, but legend has it that the Emperor decreed that anyone who took a brick could keep it and the structure disappeared over night.
Rumors also persist that Shah Jahan intended to build a second mausoleum for himself, a mirror of the Taj Mahal built out of black marble. Regardless of whether this was truly his intent, he was overthrown by his son and spent his last years in the Red Fort in Agra, gazing out over his wife's tomb where he himself would also be buried.
Despite the fact it is a tomb, the Taj Mahal lives up to its name as India's most impressive landmark. Entering through the main gate, you are confronted with the classic view of the Taj in front of you, reflected in the long stretch of water that runs to its plinth. Closer up, it does not disappoint as it is an experience to walk on a structure made of nothing but spotless white marble.
To stand on the plinth and enter the tomb itself, you must either remove your shoes or cover them in elasticated cloth wraps. Notably, Indians visiting the site seemed to opt for the former while tourists the latter, although this might just have been a product of the shoe coverings being included in the more expensive tourist ticket. I was also given a bottle of water which possibly reflects the number of foreigners who collapse with dehydration in the grounds during the summer season.
Due to our late arrival, we were not able to see Agra's Red Fort before it closed for the evening but instead went for dinner and then took the train home. More delays meant that our train did not depart Agra until after 10 pm but then mercifully, took the predicted three hours to reach Delhi.
This was merciful because I was about to freeze.
Having lived in Northern Japan and Canada, that would have been plain embarrassing.
The problem was that the carriages weren't sealed, so the cold night air rattled through ill fitting windows in an icy draft. This direction, the train was much quieter so we were able to use the 'sleeper carriage' as had been the intention for quieter routes; with each person taking one long seat to lie on. The temperature was such, however, that long before we reached Delhi I wished we were more packed. Perhaps it was nights like this that caused people to design tombs.
This feeling of peril was intensified by a guard with a rifle asking my friend how she knew me. Apparently, he was just curious.
Finally we were at Delhi. My friend was bobbed on the head with a rifle to wake her and I tumbled onto the platform before the same fate awaited me. Slightly nerve wrecking, but ultimately worth it to see the most scenic of India's dead.
When I was in 5th grade I learned about the Taj Mahal in Geography class. I became fascinated by it and it's symbol of his love for her. It's a place I've always dreamed of visiting, next to Egypt and the Pyramids/Sphinx. Maybe someday. Glad you got to see it and posted about it. Thanks!
It was really worth the trip! An incredible place.
I too, would really like to visit Egypt and see the pyramids. Ironically, I've always been concerned about food poisoning in Egypt but, since I was basically fine in India, maybe I shouldn't worry anymore!

A couple of years ago, Vladan Joler and his brainy friends in Belgrade began investigating the inner workings of one of the world’s most powerful corporations.
The team, which includes experts in cyber-forensic analysis and data visualisation, had already looked into what he calls “different forms of invisible infrastructures” behind Serbia’s internet service providers.
“We tried to map all the inputs, the fields in which we interact with Facebook, and the outcome,” he says.
Analysts say Share Lab’s work is valuable and impressive. “It’s probably the most comprehensive work mapping Facebook that I’ve ever seen,” says Dr Julia Powles, an expert in technology law and policy at Cornell Tech.
“[The research] shows in cold and calculated terms how much we are giving away for the value of being able to communicate with your mates,” she says.
“We haven’t really got appropriate historical analogies for the tech giants,” explains Dr Powles. Their powers, she continues, extend “far beyond” the likes of the East India Company and monopolies of old, such as Standard Oil.
And while many may consider the objectives of Mark Zuckerberg’s empire to be rather benign, its outcomes are not always so.

When the weather’s warm, there’s nothing Brenya loves more than a walk along the wide causeway ridge of the Tide Wall. She especially likes to go barefoot when the rising water just barely tops the barrier, bathing the soles of her feet as the wavelets lap over its sun-warmed surface. But ever since she touched the Stepping Stone, heat and cold alike feel oddly muted, easily endured. And she doubts the strange invaders from beyond the Tide Wall share her inexplicable resilience. If the winter cold helps break the siege, that would be worth a thousand days of sunshine.
Brenya often longs for the autonomy afforded the Peregrines, warriors who can cross hundreds of miles in an instant. But no woman has ever manifested the ability to travel between the monoliths called Stepping Stones. Even among men it’s a rare gift. So when Brenya dares to touch one of the Stones, she doesn’t expect to transport herself to the heart of the distant capital.
With that single step, Brenya breaks a precedent that became sacred dogma long ago. And the Lapizarium, the order that upholds that dogma, is prepared to kill her and even topple whole kingdoms to bury her transgression — or worse, forcibly strip her of the power and autonomy she’s always wanted.
With few willing to aid her, Brenya finds an unexpected advocate in Caen, commander of the Peregrines. She can’t fully fathom Caen’s motives for helping her, but suspects he has some deeper agenda. Playing pawn to his mysterious machinations could incite civil war, and would mean compromising her newfound freedom. If she stays true to herself, she risks losing that freedom entirely in her battle with the Lapizarium… a battle she has little hope of winning alone.
Brenya may be the first woman with the power of a Peregrine, but she’s determined not to be the last. Whatever the answer, and whatever her choice, she will have to fight for her right to exist and determine her own fate — and change the very nature of the Stepping Stones in the process.
Brenya had never seen a cuttle-man before. Sibyl didn’t say so, but Brenya got the impression that she had encountered a cuttle-man or two in her youth. They were supposed to be more common in the south.
Waves lapped the shore, marking the border between Suhrlund and the kingdom of Feyland to the north. The far coastline of Feyland was invisible in the morning fog that lay over the strait. Brenya breathed in the sea-salt air, its familiar tang tempered by the dew of early spring.
They sighted the cuttle-man along the misty beach long before they spotted his peddler’s wares, unpacked from their water-proof oilskin wrappings and laid out all around him. He looked nothing like a man. Brenya was put in mind of an etching she’d seen of a nautilus, if the illustrator had replaced a number of the creature’s wavy arms with four legs like a mastodon’s — another creature Brenya had seen only in etchings. The cuttle-man towered up twelve feet or more to the top of his spiral shell, its smooth striped surface adorned with numerous hooks for securing his goods, its weight supported by his tree-trunk-thick legs.
Above the cuttle-man’s legs and below his shell, a collection of prehensile arms surrounded a mouth like an enormous bird’s beak. Brenya counted eight arms in all, and couldn’t imagine how he kept track of them all moving independently, stretching out across his wares, arranging things, each appendage longer than he was tall.

Amersfoort, the Netherlands – Social impact investor Oikocredit continues to surpass the sector average for outreach to female microfinance clients, according to indicators published today in Oikocredit's Social and Environmental Performance Report 2017.
In 2017 almost 90% of clients reached by the microfinance organisations in which Oikocredit invests are women. This compares to an average of 70% for the sector as reported in the latest Symbiotics MIV Survey1, which presents sector data for 2016.
Oikocredit also surpassed the sector average for outreach to female microfinance clients in 2014, 2015 and 2016 when comparing year-on-year with the Symbiotics data for the same period2.
The latest report shows how Oikocredit used over € 980 million to finance almost 750 organisations in 2017, reaching 36 million financial inclusion clients and over half a million farmers.
Oikocredit also saw gains in its renewable energy indicators. The number of households with improved access to energy thanks to Oikocredit’s investments grew to 15,600 households, compared to 5,400 households in 2016, while a total of 38,100 tons of greenhouse gases were avoided, compared to 6,960 in 2016.
The report also details Oikocredit’s capacity building activities. In 2017 the social impact investor mobilised € 845,500 of funding (up 53% from 2016) from donors and Oikocredit itself to support 100 organisations in strengthening their operations.
Ging Ledesma, Director of Social Performance and Investor Relations said: "It’s important to show our investors and members that we’re delivering on our promise to them, and to demonstrate the difference we can make with their support. Capacity building is crucial to Oikocredit’s work as a catalytic organisation leading positive change."
Margaret Karicho (left) is the owner of Maggie Fashions and a client of Jitegemea Credit Scheme, which is financed by Oikocredit. She sells petticoats at a wholesale fashion market in the Eastlands area of Nairobi, Kenya. She has three branches in total and business is brisk. Margaret started her business in 1981 and after being granted her first loan in 2000, sales grew by 50%. She now has an individual loan of 1 million KES a year. Margaret’s goal is to improve her standard of living.
Analiza Docpano (left) is a flower farmer in the Philippines and a member of RSPI, a microfinance institution financed by Oikocredit. Analiza receives loans from RSPI and has a savings account with the institution. Analiza has worked in flower growing for 25 years and has doubled the size of her plot over the years. Her flowers are sold in Manila and her farm employs her husband and her in-laws. Her ambition is to ensure her children finish school and will be able to find jobs in the future.
Sara Sonia Garcia Perez (left) is a fourth-generation beekeeper and member of Miel Mexicana, a cooperative financed by Oikocredit and focused on the production of fair trade and organic honey for export from Mexico. Sara says that the benefits of being part of a cooperative include receiving a higher price for her honey than she would on her own. Sara would like carry on working with bees and Miel Mexicana.
Seamstress Suparna Samanta (left) bought a home solar package from Oikocredit investee Punam Energy in India in 2014. The solar lamps enable Suparna to sew and her daughters to study in the evening. Although Suparna’s community was recently connected to the grid, her solar system enables her to cut down on bills and receive a steady supply of energy despite power cuts affecting the grid.
Social impact investor and worldwide cooperative Oikocredit has over 40 years’ experience funding organisations active in financial inclusion, agriculture and renewable energy. Oikocredit’s loans, equity investments and capacity building aim to enable people on low incomes in Africa, Asia and Latin America to sustainably improve their living standards. Oikocredit finances over 700 partners and had total outstanding capital of € 970 million at 31 March 2018.
2 Oikocredit’s 2017 data cannot yet be mapped with the Symbiotics data for 2017 because the Symbiotics data for 2017 will be published only later this year.

Cable rows require the use of a V-bar, and they are performed from a seated position on a low pulley machine. As you pull the bar toward your gut, you bend your elbow and shoulder joints. This in turn causes you to work multiple muscles at the same time. Compound exercises such as this lead to fast gains in size and strength.
The erector spinae is a long strip of muscles that spans the length of the vertebral column and ends in the lower back. You activate this muscle group during back extension. This takes place when you bend at the waist and move your torso backward. During a cable row, you extend your back and hold it in this position throughout the exercise. This causes you to continually contract your erector spinae to maintain spinal stability.
The rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis and obliques all make up the abdominal wall. The rectus abdominis is the large muscle in the middle of the stomach. The transverse abdominis is deep inside the stomach and the obliques are on the sides of the ribs. You contract all of these muscles throughout a cable row to produce force and further keep your torso in good alignment.

Repo and lending rates also cut to 2.25% to ensure smooth money markets.
Bahrain's central bank lowered key interest rates on Tuesday, in its first reduction since December, in a bid to ensure smooth functioning of money markets and underpin growth.The central bank cut its one-week deposit facility to 0.50 percent from 0.75 percent while keeping its overnight deposit facility at 0.25 percent. It also lowered its repo and lending rates to 2.25 percent from 2.75 percent.
"It is a fully justified decision," said Marios Maratheftis, regional head of research at Standard Chartered.
"Overall, the focus in the region, not just in Bahrain, is on growth, not inflation. The problem is lower growth... and there is plenty of room for monetary policy to become accommodative."
Bahrain's central bank last cut rates on Dec. 18, slashing all key interest rates by 75 basis points in response to a US Federal Reserve cut.
Most Gulf states peg their currencies to the U.S. dollar and have generally tracked reductions in U.S. Federal Reserve rates, which are now at virtually zero.
Since the global financial crisis deepened in the autumn, regional central banks have slashed rates and adopted other measures -- including reduce bank reserve requirements -- to unlock credit markets and spur lending.
In addition, the central bank said it would offer a foreign exchange swap facility with a one-month maturity. It had also previously offered one with a one-week maturity.

Regardless of their tolerance for risk, many retail investors gravitate toward the names with which we are all familiar; they put their money in the big banks, the big telecoms, and the big tech companies.
That being said, small-caps tend to outperform their bulky peers over the long term, because they are still in the most robust stage of their growth.
Let’s take a look at several intriguing smaller players that have recently felt selling pressure, but are due to rebound strongly as sentiment improves and they revert to their normal trading ranges.
Through two segments, Altus Analytics and Altus Expert Services, Altus delivers an array of information services to the commercial real estate industry. The company’s technology leverages big data to deliver benchmarking and a unique perspective to its clients.
With a market capitalization of nearly $1 billion, Altus is by no means tiny and serves many of the largest companies in the global commercial real estate industry. Still, the company is small enough that it has great growth ahead of it.
Looking at Altus’s performance from 2013 to 2017, the company delivered impressive numbers — growing revenue and EBITDA, each at a compound annual growth rate of roughly 10%.
On November 7, however, Altus reported disappointing results; adjusted earnings per share for the third quarter fell just over 35%, while basic earnings per share show the company running a loss.
The reality is that sometimes even good companies have a bad quarter, and Altus remains a growth story. The third quarter featured revenue growth of 3%, the acquisition of Taliance Group, and forward-looking optimism from management.
While Altus shares are currently trading near their 52-week low, it would only take some encouraging results in a future quarter for the stock to be back to flying high. While investors wait for the market to warm back up to Altus, they will collect a quarterly dividend of $0.15, which works out to a yield of around 2.4%.
As a manufacturer, importer, and distributor of a broad selection of specialty hardware products, Richelieu provides its clients with a vast product catalogue to suit a wide variety of renovation and construction needs.
The company has grown steadily over the past five years, achieving average annualized growth in revenue, earnings, and book value, in excess of 10%. For the first nine months of 2018, Richelieu has posted slower growth than previous years with earnings per share increasing by less than 4%.
Around this time last year, Richelieu shares traded hands at just over $35; now they can be bought for about $26.
This may not have been a great year for Richelieu, but it remains a well-managed business with a history of effectively integrating acquisitions. With continuous share buybacks and a steadily increasing dividend that now yields around 1%, investors have a lot to look forward to once the stock’s long-term upward trend resumes.
Despite being the smallest of the three companies covered in this article with a market capitalization of around $800 million, CES is among the largest oilfield chemical companies in North America.
Just as they did during the slump in the price of oil in 2014 and 2015, CES shares have recently declined in line with the price of crude — the company’s share price is nearly half of what it was last year.
In the face of commodity weakness, CES reported a record third quarter on November 8, which saw revenue jump roughly 30% alongside high single-digit EBITDA growth.
Continuous development of North American energy infrastructure bodes well for CES in the long term, and any renewed strength in the price of oil would quickly send the share price back to previous levels. In the meantime, investors can collect the company’s monthly dividend of $0.005, which represents a yield of just over 1.8%.
Small caps frequently experience volatility, but these bouts of price action create opportunities for investors to buy tremendous growth at less-lofty valuations than usual. There is incredible upside potential to be had in the stocks discussed above once the fickle market turns positive once more.
Fool contributor James Watkins-Strand has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. Altus is a recommendation of Dividend Investor Canada.

An article on RSPCA.org.uk (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) points out the necessity for setting down ground rules as to when and how you interact with your dog. These could probably be described as basic building blocks in training your dog in terms of behaviour in his/her relationship with you.
It seems that doing it right makes for a better behaved and calmer dog and relationship.
You decide when you want to talk, pet or play– remember you are rewarding whatever your dog is doing at the time. Unless you want a dog that jumps up or nudges your elbow ignore these behaviours. Instead teach your dog that sitting quietly is the best way to get your attention!
Don’t talk, pet, play or even look at your dog if he/she demands attention from you. But don’t just ignore your dog – remember that it is just as important to teach him/her what does work to get your attention!
Give a signal that you wish to stop, say a word such as “finish” or “enough”, and then ignore them until they settle down. Always use the same word, so your dog learns it’s meaning.
If your dog is worried about something and you always respond by giving attention, they may become anxious when left alone. Not giving your dog attention ‘on tap’ whenever they ask for it will help ensure that your dog is confident on their own when you are not ‘available’ to give reassurance.
By following these rules you can make sure all interactions with your dog are positive and consistent. At the same time this helps ensure that your dog doesn’t become too dependent on you.

If you go pretty much to the edge of the earth, and then a little further, you’ll reach this wild, magical place called Iceland. Once you arrive, if you head west almost as far as you can go to the Snæfellsnes peninsula, you might come across a wide, wind-blown plain, veiled with long grass, shouldered by muscled, snow-capped peaks, called Budir. It is here at Budir that this Iceland wedding takes place.
Budir’s fabled black church sits on a small bluff: proud, defiant; seemingly unaffected by the vicious arctic weather that beats down for much of the year. Standing in front of the Budir church you hear various things: gulls overhead, the crash of waves from the ocean close-by, wind through the long grass. The vast mountain range to the north is ever-present; an epic sentinel to the couples that exchange vows below.
This place… you can’t visit this place without changing. You arrive, you spend time here, and when you leave… well, you’re just different.
It is one thing to experience Iceland as a tourist; I believe, however, that experiencing this place through a wedding or elopement is quite another thing altogether. I met Angela and Iwan at Hotel Budir. They had flown in from Boston, whereas I had come from Zagreb. I hung out while they got ready; then we piled into my rented 4wd and went off to explore (if you visit Iceland, don’t just hire a normal car – a 4wd can take you places you quite simply can’t believe can exist on this earth).
As the day progressed, we pushed further into those rugged mountains and then came out the other side. The sun began to dip towards the horizon, and those Budir long grasses exploded with fire (you’ll see, below).
If you liked this blog post, from here why not have a look at this incredible Lofoten wedding I shot a few years ago. You might also love this Amanusa Bali wedding.
