Background / Issue and Objectives
Proteus Digital Health is a company based in Redwood, California commercialising a new category of therapy: digital medicines. They have patented an ingestible sensor to accompany pharmacological medicine. When this sensor reaches a patient’s stomach, it sends a signal to a patch worn on the patient’s torso. This patch also records, steps, activity, rest and heart rate and communicates these metrics to a patient app and the patient’s care team.
The Proteus product had been initially designed to meet the needs of patients with chronic cardiovascular conditions like type 2 diabetes and hypertension. The product team were looking to rethink the current experience with a focus on Hep C patients.
Approach
We interviewed a generational mix of patients who were currently infected or recently cured of Hepatitis C about their experiences with the virus and the medication treatments.
We developed a collection of tools and tasks intended to make the patient think and recollect their experiences with Hep C, share memories of objects which helped them stay on track with their treatment, stories of high and low points in their journey towards ‘sustained viral load’ or being cured and people who helped them along the way. Our conversations revealed insights about differences in the generational experience of Hepatitis C.
To understand more about medication adherence patterns, we developed a custom dashboard which layered pill intake adherence data from 60 Hep C patients. We analysed this data to reveal three types of experience journeys.
Results
We gained rich insights that led to the development of three patient experience journeys based on behavioural segments. Due to a strict non-disclosure agreement, we are unable to share these, but look forward to them being turned into features and services which accompany the Proteus offering.

Orangehairy Video
This video was college project done as a promotional advertisement for Ecover, it was done with a animation student Jack Bank. The music is by Bruno Mars
I created the story, background and characters using a combination of paper and graphics. Its about a hairy orange character who loses hair when he showers, this hair goes down the plug hole with the aid of ecover product, which cleans yet supports the environment. The hair goes out the drain and picks up some germ monsters freeing them from the drain and cleaning them in the process. The hair goes into the ocean and joins onto a hairy fish helping to preserve species diversity. The hairy fish is made up of components that are thrown away by us humans, and end up in the ocean where they recycle to create the fish. The components are non-biodegradable yet create a new species. At the end it is said to serve species diversity which it does by adding hair to the hairy fish species

Kids 5-11 Approved To Receive Vaccine: Data Shows Many Have Been Vaccinated
By: Yvette Brown
Nov. 12, 2021
The Food and Drug Administration approved kids from the ages of five and 11 to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, as of last week. According to sources, more than 51,000 kids in New York City, under the age of 11 have received their first dose of the vaccine.
"With the group right ahead, the 12–17-year-olds, a group that has been vaccinated over the last few months, we're almost at 80 percent there,” Mayor Bill de Blasio told WNYC. “And we continue to make progress every day, so that to me is, let's focus on getting kids vaccinated, make sure every kid's in school."
Data shows that as Nov. 11, 2021, 21 percent of kids under 18 have received at least one dose, while 24 percent have been fully vaccinated. About 75 percent of people between the ages of 18 and 24 have been fully vaccinated, while 87 percent have received at least one dose.

SPM Students Petition For Add Math Paper Passing Mark To Be 5%, “A+” To Be 50%
by Esther LiewTap to listen to this article instead: 🔊 Listen to Post
Recently, the Internet broke when they discovered that EVEN teachers were finding the SPM Additional Mathematics paper too hard to answer. Many students exited the exam hall in tears. If you haven’t read about that story yet, check it out here!
Yesterday (21st November), a petition calling for the Education Ministry to lower the SPM Add Math passing mark went viral, gathering a total of over 11,800 signatures in just 19 hours of being released, according to the Star.
The petition, which was started by student, Joseph Tan, called for the passing mark to be 5% while an A+ should be 50%. As of today, the petition has garnered nearly 22,000 signatures, and by the looks of it, it doesn’t look like traction is about to stop anytime soon!
In his petition, Joseph said:
“This year, the additional mathematics paper was too hard and the government added questions that were so difficult, it took teachers 1 hour to complete 2 questions. We kindly request for the government to reduce the passing marks for the paper.”
When students and parents voiced their concerns about how tough the add math paper was, Examinations Syndicate director of examinations, Adzman Talib merely said that every exam question was based on the curriculum taught to all candidates.
However, this isn’t the only petition started to lower the grade of an SPM paper. Another student also reportedly started a separate petition to set the A+ grade for History at 50% as well because the format of the paper had been changed without informing the students.
What do you guys think? Would you sign these petitions?

This is actually an old photo I took with my friend's Sony DSC-H2 camera during a trip to the wonderful temple at Somanathpur. The sky was brilliant that day with very well-defined clouds and the sun was out.
As I looked up to the sky that time, I saw this brilliant ray of sunlight coming out of the clouds. I tried to capture it as a backdrop to the wonderful architecture of the temple. This photo had to be in Black and White because of the amazing shades of gray in the sky offering differing levels of contrast, which B & W portrays so majestically.
Because I was shooting directly at the sun, I preferred very minimal exposure with very short shutter speed and a low ISO.
To get the silhouette effect of the temple with that camera (in which I could not adjust the area of focus and the level of focus) I aimed the centre of the field to a bright area (like the sky) while keeping the click button half-pressed and then changed the camera position to aim at the temple. (This is a method to get great silhouettes with any basic camera, actually)
The different levels of gray in the sky offer a great amount of dynamism. Infact, it does offer an intimidating and scary image; like that of an impending disaster (as shown in the movies :p)
I could have tried to follow the Rule of Thirds here; but that would mean zooming out and I feared if the effect of the Ray of light would be dampened and lose prominence.
The Lens Glare in the photo can be both a boon and a bane. I guess, in this case, it isn't so bad (position-wise). So, it does make the photo look better.

In addition to avoiding the things that could hold them back, mentally strong people create healthy habits that assist them in growing stronger. Here are eight things mentally strong people do every day to strengthen their mental muscles:
It’s easy to get distracted throughout the day by a variety of unimportant and unproductive tasks. Mentally strong people choose to use their time and energy carefully. They devote their efforts to the things that matter most so they can accomplish their goals.
Everyone has negative thoughts sometimes, but mentally strong people don't let those thoughts hold them back or drag them down. Instead, they respond to their pessimistic predictions and harsh criticisms with a more productive inner dialogue. They stay motivated to do their best by talking to themselves like a trusted friend or a helpful coach.
Mentally strong people establish clear personal and professional goals that give them meaning and purpose. They forgo immediate gratification by keeping their long-term goals in mind. They view obstacles as challenges, rather than roadblocks to their success.
Mentally strong people reflect on their progress toward their goals every day. They set aside time to examine what they're doing well, and they humbly acknowledge areas that need improvement. They hold themselves accountable for mistakes and they constantly strive to grow better.
While some people go to great lengths to avoid any type of distress, others endure pain simply to prove they're tough. Mentally strong people, however, tolerate discomfort when it serves a greater purpose. Whether they're exercising when they feel tired, or they're delivering a speech when they feel terrified, they use their pain to become better.
You can't be at your best if you're insisting you deserve better. Mentally strong people acknowledge they already have everything they need. They recognize their good fortune and for all things big and small.
express gratitude
Mentally strong people know their feelings play a major role in their perceptions and their behavior. They pay close attention to the ways their emotions could influence their judgement. They carefully balance their emotions with logic so they can make the best possible decisions.
Although it may be tempting to measure your self-worth by comparing yourself to your competition, mentally strong people don’t fall prey to such distractions. They focus on living according to their values and doing their best, despite their circumstances. At the end of the day they don’t ask themselves, “Did I beat everyone else?” Instead, they ask, “Did I stay true to values?”

Bryan Gunn (born 1963) is a Scottish former professional goalkeeper and football manager. He spent most of his playing career at Norwich City, and feels that his career peaked with what he calls the save of his life in a 1993 UEFA Cup match against Bayern Munich; The Independent called the game the summit of the club's history. He is one of only nine players to win the club's Player of the Year award twice and was made an inaugural member of its Hall of Fame. He made six appearances for Scotland in the early 1990s. After retiring as a player, Gunn worked for years behind the scenes at Norwich in a variety of roles. He was appointed temporary manager towards the end of the 2008–09 season and confirmed as permanent manager during the summer. However, he lost his job a week into the next season after defeat in the opening game to local rivals Colchester United. Since the death of his young daughter from leukaemia in 1992, Gunn has been extensively involved in fundraising to combat the disease and its effects, raising more than £1 million. The city of Norwich recognised Gunn's charity work and his long association with the city's football club by naming him S
The Symphony No. 5 in C minor of Ludwig van Beethoven, Op. 67, was written in 1804–1808. It is one of the most popular and best-known compositions in classical music, and one of the most frequently played symphonies.[1] First performed in Vienna's Theater an der Wien in 1808, the work achieved its prodigious reputation soon afterwards. E. T. A. Hoffmann described the symphony as "one of the most important works of the time".

Tipplers allegedly made to pay ₹10 to ₹15 extra
by Sangeetha KandavelOfficials from the Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation Ltd. (Tasmac) have found 3,867 cases of maximum retail price (MRP) violations at the shops across the State between April and October this year.
Of these violations, 1,905 cases were at the price below ₹10 while the remaining 1,962 cases the violation was above ₹10.
The maximum violation was from the Madurai zone with 1,042 cases. In the Chennai region, there were 811 cases of MRP violation.
During the same period in 2018, there were 3,395 cases of MRP violations and 1,962 of these were above ₹10. A source at one of the Tasmac shops said the officials had been strictly monitoring MRP violations.
“Earlier, only the salesman who charged extra was penalised but now even supervisors working at the shops are made accountable,” he said. Tipplers often complain that they were being overcharged at Tasmac shops. They are charged an extra ₹15 to ₹50 a bottle depending on the liquor brand they purchased. An additional charge was levied for those paid with cards at Elite Tasmac shops.
‘It is an eyewash’
Even on Friday evening, a consumer who purchased liquor at an outlet on Anna Salai said the salesmen had charged him an additional ₹5 for a small bottle that he had purchased.
“The surprise checks are an eyewash. I have been purchasing liquor for the last six years and have always paid over and above the MRP,” he added.
On an average, liquor worth ₹70 crore to ₹75 crore was sold per day across the State through Tasmac. On weekends and festival days, this figure touched ₹100 crore.
For the year 2018-19, the government earned ₹31,157 crore as revenue through liquor sales. One of the managers at a shop said that Tasmac was in the process of installing CCTVs to monitor such violations.
“Some of the shops already had cameras but now they want to have it across all their outlets,” he said.
It was learnt that Tasmac would start installing the CCTVs from December. Currently, Tasmac, the cash-cow of Tamil Nadu had 5,152 liquor retail vending shops and 1,872 bars.

My experience with psychoactives is a pretty mild one. Three or four shroom trips, lots, and i mean lots, of 'dank,' a lil X, blow, and K (small amount). But i never got mysef to use 'cid.' Anyways, being in public safety, i can no longer afford to use illegal substances due to drug testing and that i am gettin older. The only drug i really miss is MJ. She was always good to me.
I came across two plants that really grabbed my attention one being Salvia D. and the other Wild Dagga. After researching them on the net, i ordered about 5 grams of Wild Dagga flowers, for they are to be a lot more potent and better tasting than the plant matter.
My package arrived today in the mail and i met the postman at the mailboxes. I was kinda like a kid on christmas in the way that i was excited to see if the reports were true. I went back into my apartment and decided that i would wait until tonight, b/c i like being high at night, it is much more fun to me. I went to see my girlfriend before she went to work and on the way back to my place i decided to pack a little bowl, just to see if there were any effects. I lit it up and the stuff burnt up really fast, only got like two good hits. After a minute or so i got a little lightheaded, like MJ, and turned on some Zepplin. ONLY two hits and i have a small buzz. I rode on back to my place and watched some tv.

I timed boxed an hour to read the reference material.
I like the idea of the 4 daily questions, the TED talk on making little changes (i also need to loose some weight) and the article on starting things of small.
Timeboxing one hour worked well for me. I new how much time i had to work through the material and I also didnt spend time on things that didnt interest me.
I would like to the above mentioned techniques that interested me. Also, does anyone know where I can find a Pomodero Timer? :)


From W. Ross, stalker.
THIS celebrated witch was accused of having enchanted the deer of the Reay forest, so that they avoided pursuit. Lord Reay was exceedingly angry, but at a loss how to remedy the evil. His man, William (the same who braved the witch and sat down in her hut) promised to find out if this was the case. He watched her for a whole night, and by some counter enchantments managed to be present when in the early morning she was busy milking the hinds. They were standing all about the door of the hut till one of them ate a hank of blue worsted hanging from a nail in it. The witch struck the animal, and said, "The spell is off you; and Lord Reay's bullet will be your death to-day." William repeated this to his master to confirm the tale of his having passed the night in the hut of the great hag, which no one would believe. And the event justified it, for a fine yellow hind was killed that day, and the hank of blue yarn was found in its stomach.
This is one of nearly a hundred stories, gathered amongst the people of Sutherland by a very talented collector, whose numerous accomplishments unfortunately do not include Gaelic. This resembles an account of a Lapp camp (see Introduction). It also bears some affinity to a story published by Grant Stewart, in which a ghost uses a herd of deer to carry her furniture.


I began abusing drugs when I was 16, and by the time I graduated high school, I was an addict. I soon began experimenting with opiates (Percocet, etc.) and eventually found Oxycontin and then later moved on to heroin. In the end of my addiction, I was using heroin intravenously and was homeless.
One day, my then-boyfriend let me drink part of his daily dose of methadone (he was enrolled in a maintenance program, on about 90mg I believe. I was absolutely amazed when, that day, I did not use any heroin. I did not even want to use heroin, even when my boyfriend was using it right in front of me. It was incredible.
Thankfully, I got on methadone maintenance.  I was inducted into a methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) program at 30mg. The nurse told me that if I stayed inside the clinic (to be observed for signs of overdose/sedation/etc.) I could get another 10mg after an hour. I did so. Then, within the next week or two, my dose was gradually increased to 70mg.
In the first few months, I felt some pleasant side effects of methadone, even though I was taking the same exact dose every day. About an hour after dosing, I would feel slightly warm and a general sense of well-being. It is also important to note that even though I felt these effects within about an hour, the full effects of methadone are not felt for up to four hours. These effects would last around an hour or so, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter, and were similar to the effects of heroin/other opiates, but much less pronounced. In other words, I can't imagine anyone wanting to take methadone recreationally; these effects would not even be worth it, in my opinion. During these first few months, I also had no appetite; this was also an effect I experienced when I used opiates regularly.
However, after about month four, I noticed a lessening of these effects. I started to just feel normal. Ever once in a while (this even happens now, albeit rarely, after being on MMT for four years) I would get a 'methadone hug', about an hour after taking my dose, that would last a few minutes, or maybe a bit longer, in which I felt a sense of well-being and a warmth, mostly in the arms and chest area.
Another important effect of daily methadone use is that, like other opiates/synthetic opiates, it causes physical dependence. There have been several times I have accidently missed my dose over the years for a variety of reasons. On these occasions, I would start to experience opiate withdrawl symptoms like increased sweating, fatigue, and so on. However, I do attribute some of these symptoms to mentality as opposed to actual physical withdrawal, especially because a dose of methadone generally lasts at least 24 (and up to 36) hours, and I would often begin to notice withdrawal symptoms as soon as I realized I had missed my dose.
The most important part of taking methadone for me has been the way it has affected my desire to use drugs. I have not touched any opiate in over four years, and in one month (May 2006) I will have four years clean off of all illicit and unprescribed substances. I cannot say that I never crave drugs, but it is very rare. Having freedom from these cravings is truly what has saved my life.

This is a simple implementation of Shiny dashboard to explore the Nepal earthquake data. The earthquake data used here is NOT real-time. The records were downloaded from USGS website (csv format) and placed in the data folder. To filter the quakes in the vicinity of Nepal, only the quakes within the bounding box of Nepal map are used.
You can try the app at: https://asheshwor.shinyapps.io/np-quake.
You can also run the app locally (if you have RStudio installed) by using the following command:
## Install missing packages packagesRequired <- c("shinydashboard", "leaflet", "dplyr", "reshape2", "scales", "ggplot2", "data.table", "rgdal", "jsonlite", "shiny") packagesToInstall <- packagesRequired[!(packagesRequired %in% installed.packages()[,"Package"])] if(length(packagesToInstall)) install.packages(packagesToInstall) ## Run app from Github repo shiny::runGitHub('asheshwor/np-quake')
I am not an earthquake expert. This is not at an attempt to predict aftershock events.
Full source code is available from the following github repo: https://github.com/asheshwor/np-quake
Earthquake data: This app uses earthquake data from USGS http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/csv.php

WTF is EMFILE and why does it happen to me
By request
The error code EMFILE
means that a process is trying to open too many files. Unix systems have a max number of file descriptors that may be assigned, also known as the MAX_OPEN
value. On OS X, the default is 256, which is pretty low for many modern programs that do a lot of file system writing and reading.
This max value can be read or modified using the ulimit -n
command. Since I’ve bumped up the MAX_OPEN ulimit value to 2560
on my system, here’s what my laptop reports:
$ ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 2560
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 1
stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 709
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
These ulimit values are important! You don’t want runaway programs to accidentally open way too many files, and take up unnecessary resources on your program by accident.
npm, being a package manager, opens a lot of files, often more than 256 at a single time. In order to get around this limitation, there are two options:
- Always be very careful to not open too many files.
- Handle
EMFILE
errors by queuing theopen
operation, and then attempting it again once a file closes.
The only way to reliably do #2, however, is by monkey-patching Node’s fs
module, which is exactly what the graceful-fs module does. A really interesting collision of bugs in npm, graceful-fs, and lockfile, led it to ignore certain open operations, and so you could easily get into cases where the script could not reasonably handle these problems. Basically, it would open a lockfile to reserve a specific tar operation, and then not have any file descriptors left to actually do the tar unpack operation! Also, graceful-fs was not actually monkey-patching with a queue, but instead trying to do some fancy clever back-off stuff, which just wasn’t as solid.
Graceful-fs 2.0 and lockfile 0.4 contain the fixes for their relevant parts of this flub up. The latest version of npm 1.3 has all the fixes.
At this point, no matter HOW small your ulimit -n
value is, graceful-fs
will prevent it from ever raising an EMFILE
error. Of course, it does this at the expense of making open
operations potentially take longer. I’m planning on exploring using a slightly smarter monkey-patch, so that it only will enqueue open operations that have some kind of special flag or other opt-in switch.

Reviewed by Harvey Karten Hollywood Pictures Director: Bruce Paltrow Writer: John Byrum Cast: Maria Bello, Andre Braugher, Paul Giamatti, Huey Lewis, Gwyneth Paltrow, Scott Speedman
Six people, each unhappy in his or her own way, get together in fairly believable ways, each showing the other that life really is worth living if only you can make a few changes. Sound familiar? The theme sure is, but this is perhaps the first time a major film uses the motif of karaoke as the catalytic agent. What gives the movie most of its charm is not the shopworn, sentimental story but the surprisingly good singing by one of Hollywood's greats, Gwyneth Paltrow, who took away the prizes for her gender-bender role in "Shakespeare in Love" and now proves that she could credibly appear on the Broadway stage if Stephen Sondheim could write a musical for her.
Bruce Paltrow, noted for his TV series "St. Elsewhere" and a single feature movie "A Little Sex," is at the helm, determined to let his performers have as good a time as are the typically once-shy, now-turned-on-by-karaoke folks once put into the limelight to enjoy a high which some insist is as effective as a snort of coke. Using John Byrum's sugary script, he opens his story on a professional singer, Ricky Dean (Huey Lewis), who behind thick-framed glasses could probably fool anyone into thinking he's a nerdish school teacher who knows nothing about karaoke. His shtick is to come up to those who are performing in the mid-west bars where singing to canned music is de rigueur, shake his head in puzzlement over this "karate-oakley," and wonder why people would want to waste time at such a foolish pastime.  Trouble is the man is unhappy, his former girl friend having died. When he shows up for the funeral he meets his daughter for the first time, she hooks on to the reluctant man, and from then on they're a singing team. And boy can Liv (Gwyneth Paltrow) make her old man look even better, harmonizing with her silky vocal chords about as well as the best in the group, a hustler of another sort named Suzi (Maria Bello), who teams up with underachieving cab driver Billy (Scott Speedman) in an all- too-sketchy portrayal, who drives her from the midwest to California to pursue a singing career.
Gwyneth Paltrow's startling vocal qualities aside, the stealer this time around is Paul Giamatti in the role of a perpetually traveling businessman, Todd, terribly unhappy not only because he is away from his family so often accumulating frequent flyer miles but because he is facing a moral dilemma. Berating himself for despoiling the environment--at one point he kicks himself verbally for destroying the breeding ground of turtles in order to develop a theme-park waterslide for children--Todd hooks up with escaped convict Reggie (Andre Braugher), who tells one man whom he robs that he has no skills, but is put on the right track by Todd who brings out the singer in him at the karaoke competitions.
The highlight of John Byrum's script is a monologue that could be a treasure if used by actors in auditions, in which Todd lashes out against the strip-malling of America, raising the red flag of revolution against the McDonalds, Wendys and Pizza Huts that have turned this country from a pristine paradise into a commercial eyesore. Acting out a major midlife crisis, Todd dons a single earring, gives up his razor blade for days at a time, and roams the midwest with his new buddy in search of a life free from the physical and emotional poisons of American corporations.
When Giamatti takes off in the role of his lifetime, he will have the audience eating out of his hand. But when oddball humor is at the forefront, director Paltrow could conceivably lose some of the fans of the very types of movies against which Todd could conceivably rage. The karaoke does not in any way dominate the picture and, in fact, the final competition does not end in the style of the typical football movie with the audience two steps ahead of the judges. Rather the contest is cut short in favor of heartstring tugs. While the father-daughter bonding is hackneyed and the underachiever-hustler scenario is underdeveloped, Paltrow does succeed enough by highlighting Giamatti in his first scene-stealing role and featuring the heretofore unknown quality of Gwyneth Paltrow's sound.

Kudat is one of the few places in Malaysian Borneo where one can get hauled (see boatyards). The small city is a friendly place with dozens of small restaurants and seemingly almost as many small Chinese run hardware stores. The nearby golf club is extremely cruiser friendly and cruisers recommend it as a great place to eat within walking distance of the boatyard.
See comment on water pests here at bottom of page.
Location 06° 53.5'N, 116° 51.45'E.
For full details on clearance into and out of Malaysia see Malaysia Formalities.
Clearance can be done here and all the offices are within walking distance.
The Immigration and Customs offices are on the waterfront, between the Milimewa store and the Police Wharf. In April 2013 Immigration for visiting yachts was managed from a white demountable building within the Police Wharf, just next to Customs. The Jabatan Laut (Harbourmaster) is located on the second floor of a building just behind the Chinese Temple – locals will point it out for you. Very helpful.
Note the new update to the restrictions on visas. See Malaysia/Immigration.
No clearance charges reported.
Last updated July 2013.
It is best to enter in the morning before the swell builds up as there are reefs each side of the entrance. This is a good place to leave a boat ashore.
Anchoring
In Kudat there are two possible berthing options.
1: Anchorage Basin with Marina
One, is a small anchorage basin with excellent shelter, inside a wall with a small marina facility - "Marina Jetty Kudat".
Alternatively anchor stern-to the wall and use as long a chain as you can.
There is a hotel close by ("Marina Hotel") with a restaurant and bar and Wi-Fi. Penuwasa boat yard with a travelift for up to 150T (Tel: 60 88 614325) is also in the basin. Dinghies can be parked at the floating army dock in the southern corner – there is a permanent army camp there, so it is reasonably secure.
2: Anchoring opposite Town
The other anchorage is opposite the town. You can drop West of the main jetty (N 06-52-674 and E 116-50-582) and leave your dinghy near the ferry terminal anchoring it from the stern. This jetty is walking distance to the market, supermarket etc. In good conditions anchoring off the town Esplanade is possible.
There are however many fishing boats near the ferry terminal which make the access with a dinghy difficult. It may be preferable to go for the W side of the main jetty which has an access with stairs, making the dinghy's access easy with the tides. (2+m). Furthermore the main jetty is controlled by Police which makes it very safe.
An alternative anchorage is to drop on the same latitude but E 116-51-293. This anchorage is better protected against the fresh SW wind and is near the "waterfront" where there are good seafood restaurants. Again, walking distance from banks, shopping etc.
Security
Thefts and boardings have been reported from boats anchored off the town in August 2011. If leaving your boat unattended on the hard, be aware that thefts were reported from boats here in August 2011 and again in February 2013.
