Having been a professional gambler I can declare from experience that horse racing and stock market trading have many, many similarities. 

For a start a lot of people lose at horse racing simply because they have no idea what they are up against and they use techniques that are absurdly naïve. That’s like using a trading system to trade based on nothing more than a couple of 'indicators'...Yet some keep insisting that’s the best way to make money.

It really takes a lot of skill to be able to read a form book and rate each individual horses chances and then extract a living from it. This is a bit like fundamental analysis. Some say that’s a good way to make money.

Smaller stables often cannot cover the cost of keeping a race horse with the flimsy rewards from winning the odd race every once in a while, so they aim to get a horse in top form and bet that it will overturn the formbook. That’s much like trading on inside information. Again some say that’s a very good way to make money!

Others insist on backing winning trainers who have already proven excellent records at particular race courses. That’s like following executive director buys when they have a record of buying large amounts of their own company stock prior to quarterly market updates and consistently making a boatful of moolah.  And again some say that’s a good way to make money...

Even others use computers and develop algorithms that scan through huge volumes of data to discover clues and discrepancies that manual analysis cannot compete with.  This is just like what the banks of today do with quants developing modelling data. And yet again some believe that's the best way to make money!!

Some insist that money management is the key because achieving a good winning percentage is impossible, they claim. Yet again some insist that’s the best way to make money trading the stock markets.

Some bet using trading or horse betting systems, often designed by someone who makes their living designing and selling systems. You just have to look at the championships: Some say that’s the best way to make money.

Some bet using a DOM looking for weight of money movements that allow scalp trading. The dome was developed from the financial markets and looks much like ours. You can even 'green' the bet taking both sides so you can’t lose. Again some say that’s the best way to make money.

There are other who use arbitrage methods trading the spread between two horses. Some believe that’s the best way to make money because profits are guaranteed.

I could go on all day with this rant, but if I had to select two characteristics that are most common between the average horse punter and the average trader, they would be.

For most couples, infidelity just about tops the list of their relationship phobias. Although there are those lucky ones who are totally secure in their partners, they are few and far between. Most of us simply have had some doubts about the faithfulness of our significant other at one point or another.


But when are you supposed to shrug off those errant thoughts? Put another way – and probably more urgently – when are you supposed to give those nagging doubts some very serious consideration?

You, of course, don't want to waste precious time, resources, energy, and emotion chasing what might turn out to be absolutely false (and end up feeling guilty and berating yourself for mistrusting your spouse). Before you take any serious investigative steps, therefore, you need to look for telltale signs of a cheating spouse.

And you don't have to look far. Signs of cheating are quite evident in facial expressions and that's where you need to start looking. So how to tell if your spouse is cheating on you? Look closely at his or her face for the following:

Liars often frown when they have to answer seemingly innocent questions that could bring their lie to the fore; the frown is an indication that they have to think their answers over very carefully or that they are extremely irritated by it or both.

Innocuous questions such as why he or she is out all night, why the credit card bill has skyrocketed, or why he or she missed dinner will not only elicit a furrowed brow but may also be met by a very guilty party with downcast eyes.


It's a quirk of human nature that we tend to touch our nose when we find ourselves lying – and a cheating partner is no different. Maybe there is some truth to Pinocchio after all? But it's not just the nose-touching that you need to watch out for; reports also point to observations that liars also can't keep their hands off their earlobes, neck, lips, and hair.

Ever notice that when you are awfully peeved at someone you tighten your lips into a thin line? Well that's also how cheating spouses look when they are faced with questions that they have to lie about – lies, for example, to cover up their extramarital affairs.

Or they could also be angry at you for putting them on that very prickly spot where their lies come very dangerously close to becoming exposed.

Biting the lips could be an indication of several things: discomfort, anticipation, furious thinking, holding something back, or guilt. While it may be difficult to pinpoint which it is your partner is feeling, watch out for this sign together with other facial expressions before jumping to conclusions.

A liar – and therefore a cheater as well – is automatically on a defensive mode and he or she would want to erect barriers when he or she feels as if you are being confrontational (even if you did not mean to be). Lacking barriers, the most they can do is to turn their face away from you.

A liar may be aware that turning their body away may raise suspicions, and so will downcast eyes, but turning their face away during the course of the "confrontation" is an involuntary reaction that a liar almost always has no control over.


Again, it doesn't have to be a confrontation – it can be any discussion that treads uncomfortably close to what they have to lie about.

An innocent person's face is animated. On the other hand, a person who is under a lot of stress – stress because of lying – would limit his or her facial expression.

That's because he or she wants to "control" his or her facial movements believing that by doing so means not giving anything away. In this case, "poker face" is nothing but a well-practiced facial expression and is far from the natural expression of a guilt-free person.

Below is a copy of the entire Greater Giving (formerly AuctionPay) contract effective for the year 2008. There are great many areas of concern for nonprofits. My article relates to the copy of the Greater Giving contract found below my article.


A copy of Greater Giving's Client contract was recently forwarded to me by a nonprofit. Greater Giving's main focus, for those of you who do not know, is the business of providing point of payment processing (credit card terminals) to nonprofits and charities. Greater Giving also purchased an auction software company a few years ago, formerly known as Archetype (Archetype originally was available to their customers at a cost of $800 and the company's technical support was totally free. It would appear that Greater Giving's fees have gone up and they now charge a separate fee for their support, unlike Archetype.), and now they also sell this fundraising auction software to Greater Giving clients as well. 

Long story short, I was asked to review this contract and Greater Giving's sign up process by several of my charity auction clients, as I have recently been made aware of these client's receiving what they have termed "threat messages/letters" from Greater Giving (formerly AuctionPay) when these nonprofit clients decided to move their business elsewhere. Greater Giving apparently had sent out notifications of breach of contract to these particular clients when those Greater Giving clients violated the terms of Greater Giving's agreement(s) and contract(s).  

Greater Giving's sign up process occurs online. In Greater Giving's defense, there is a web page that offers the client the ability to choose either a one year or five year contract option. This decision performed by the charity auction client is made by checking a box, indicating that the agreed term will either be one year or five years. In defense of the charity or nonprofit, this form of web page and sign up form is separate from the web page containing Greater Giving's contract. That makes this process more than a little nebulous and confusing since it is obviously separate from the contract page itself. By default Greater Giving has selected the five year box option, and the client must select the one year option to change Greater Giving's default setting. 


For the record, I am by no means advocating (promoting) nor am I denigrating (libel or slander) a charity or nonprofit's choice to use or not to use Greater Giving. I am merely bringing forward the facts, as contained in Greater Giving's contract and only offering my opinion (free speech). How the reader chooses to approach or use this information contained in this narrative is strictly their choice alone. If this information is helpful or useful to a nonprofit or charity in negotiating a contract with Greater Giving, then this will be an independent action and choice that is entered into strictly between Greater Giving and that particular charity. I am not an attorney. However I would recommend, and I have no doubt that Greater Giving would echo this statement, that you should consult with your attorney in seeking any legal clarification pertaining to this contract before signing it.

What is the Sarbanes-Oxley Act? 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is a United States federal law passed in response to the recent major corporate and accounting scandals including those at Enron, Tyco International, and WorldCom (now MCI). These scandals resulted in a decline of public trust in accounting and reporting practices. Named after sponsors Senator Paul Sarbanes (D-Md.) and Representative Michael G. Oxley (R-Oh.), the Act was approved by the House by a vote of 423-3 and by the Senate 99-0. 


The legislation is wide-ranging and establishes new or enhanced standards for all U.S. public company Boards, Management, and public accounting firms. The first and most important part of the Act establishes a new quasi-public agency, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which is charged with overseeing and disciplining accounting firms in their roles as auditors of public companies. 
Some of the major provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act's include;

a) Certification of financial reports by chief executive officers and chief financial officers. Auditor independence, including outright bans on certain types of work for audit clients and pre-certification by the company's Audit Committee of all other non-audit work.
b) A requirement that companies listed on stock exchanges have fully independent audit committees that oversee the relationship between the company and its auditor.
c) Significantly longer maximum jail sentences and larger fines for corporate executives who knowingly and willfully misstate financial statements, although maximum sentences are largely irrelevant because judges generally follow the Federal Sentencing Guidelines in setting actual sentences.
d) Employee protections allowing those corporate fraud whistleblowers who file complaints with OSHA within 90 days, to win reinstatement, back pay and benefits, compensatory damages, abatement orders, and reasonable attorney fees and costs.

What happened at Enron?
Everyone knows at least a little about the Enron story and the devastation it created in the lives of is employees. It's a story that belongs in any discussion of ethical accounting processes and what happens when accounting standards and ethics are discarded for personal greed.

Enron began in 1985 selling natural gas to gas companies and businesses. In 1996, energy markets were changed so that the price of energy could now be decided by competition among energy companies instead of being fixed by government regulations. With this change, Enron began to function more as a middleman than a traditional energy supplier, trading in energy contracts instead of buying and selling natural gas. Enron's rapid growth created excitement among investors and drove the stock price up. As Enron grew, it expanded into other industries such as Internet services, and its financial contracts became more complicated.


In order to keep growing at this rate, Enron began to borrow money to invest in new projects. However, because this debt would make their earnings look less impressive, Enron began to create partnerships that would allow it to keep debt off of its books. One partnership created by Enron, Chewco Investments (named after the Star Wars character Chewbacca) allowed Enron to keep $600 million in debt off of the books it showed to the government and to people who own Enron stock. When this debt did not show up in Enron's reports, it made Enron seem much more successful than it actually was. In December 2000, Enron claimed to have tripled its profits in two years. 

In August 2001, Enron vice president Sherron Watkins sent an anonymous letter to the CEO of Enron, Kenneth Lay, describing accounting methods that she felt could lead Enron to "implode in a wave of accounting scandals." Also in August, CEO Kenneth Lay sent e-mails to his employees saying that he expected Enron stock prices to go up. Meanwhile, he sold off his own stock in Enron. 

Winning a national lottery would be a dream come true for most people. Each year, billions of dollars are spent on scratch off tickets and lottery numbers by people hoping to strike it rich.

Americans reference the national lottery when talking about games such as Powerball and Mega Millions. Much of the money for ticket sales accumulates to payout staggering multi-million dollar jackpots offered throughout the country.


In addition to national games, many states offer region-specific games through their own lottery system. National games have substantially higher payouts than state games, but the odds are considerably higher with an average of 1 in 18 million. 

The largest lottery winnings ever recorded amounted to $380 million and was awarded in January 2011 through Mega Millions. The largest Powerball jackpot to be recorded was a staggering $340 million.

There's little doubt that kind of money could permanently alter a person's life. Winning millions of dollars would allow a person to do whatever they want, whenever they want and still have funds to pass along inherited wealth for several generations.

Certainly, most people would be overjoyed to win the lottery. However, as with most things in life there is a downside to receiving a windfall of cash.

One of the greatest challenges is coping with the unwanted notoriety. Many stories have circulated regarding lottery winners being bombarded with phone calls and uninvited guests arriving at their door. Winners can elect to keep their newfound wealth private by hiring a representative, like a financial adviser or attorney, to claim their lottery winnings.

Although it can be entertaining to dream about all the things lottery cash could be spent on, the truth of the matter is it's rather expensive to win jackpots. State and federal taxes can deplete over half of the winnings, so the best defense is immediately hiring an exceptional financial consultant. Professionals can help develop strategies to reduce taxes on lottery winnings.

Accepting jackpot funds as lump sum cash is more costly than accepting annual installments. Winning millions changes tax status and results in higher taxes. Financial planners can create investment plans to reduce tax burdens. This could be in the form of depositing money into an irrevocable life insurance trust or tax-sheltered retirement account such as a Roth IRA.

While the national lottery has multi-million dollar jackpots, state games also offer valuable prizes. All winnings acquired through gambling are subject to income tax and must be reported on tax returns. This includes prizes and cash won through casinos, horse or dog racing, raffles, contests, and sweepstakes.

Taxpayers can report gambling losses on tax returns as long as they provide adequate documentation. People who gamble on a regular basis should develop accounting methods and record keeping systems to track winnings and losses.


Lottery jackpot winners should consider working with an estate planning service to safeguard money for their family. Estate planners can develop strategies to reduce inheritance taxes and expand financial portfolios.

Regrettably, more than one person has spent their life savings in the quest to win the national lottery. Gambling can become a serious addiction that necessitates professional help to overcome. It is imperative to maintain control and never spend more money than you can afford to lose.

There are a few famous money names that everybody knows. There are some famous people whose names sound strangely money-related and then there are those names that definitely relate and make fans wonder why their idols took on the titles. Someone like Kurt Shilling probably didn't intend to have a name related to UK money. On the other hand, 50 Cent was Curtis Jackson before he took on his public name. For all the people who have decided that a name with money in it was a good thought, fans might wonder where the inspiration came from.


Why did Curtis Jackson switch to 50 Cent? He stole it from Kelvin Martin, a Brooklyn robber from the 1980s. Kelvin got the name from for his willingness to rob anyone regardless of how much money they had. Curtis Jackson is quoted as saying, "I'm the same kind of person 50 Cent was. I provide for myself by any means."

Not all money names have such violent roots. Johnny Cash for example is only a coincidental name. Cash, a slang term for money, has no bearing on why he has his last name. Similarly, Barry Bonds does not have his last name because of an affection for government monetary funds of low interest. Nor does Brad Penny, a Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher, care deeply for the American copper coin memorialising Abraham Lincoln.

One name however, stands out among the crowd.


Chris Moneymaker, winner of the 2003 World Series of Poker, is a descendant of gold and silver coinmakers originally named Nurmacher, who changed their German sounding last name to Moneymaker. His success in Texas Hold ‘Em Poker transcended coincidence and made a picturesque landmark in a family that loved money.

And, last but not least, for every James Bond fan out there is Moneypenny, the female character who plays 007's co-worker at the MI6.

Are you tired of fighting a gambling addiction?  Do you wish your gambling problem would just go away?  You have probably heard that once you are addicted to anything, the addiction lasts a lifetime.  That is true to the best of my knowledge.  Though it is true that the gambling problem you have now will never go away, it is possible to not think about gambling all the time.  Thinking about the gambling problem, or gambling is the part of a gambling addiction that wears many people down.  In plain English, they just get tired of talking about it, thinking about it, and dealing with the gambling problem they have.


While the compulsive gambling disease is incurable, it is possible to go through days or even weeks without thinking about it or being fixated on the problem.  That is what you really want, isn't it?  You want to just live your life, have fun, laugh, enjoy life, without battling a problem 24/7. You want relief.  The good news is that is possible.  The disease may not go away, but the symptoms can be treated.

I know gamblers who have a normal life and enjoy life.  I have also known them long enough so I remember when they first stopped gambling and started working at being a non-gambler.  Many of them complained at the time that it seemed the joy had gone out of life, that life wasn't any fun anymore.  After time passed I reminded some of them of that and we had a good laugh.  How dark things seemed when they first admitted they had a gambling problem and started to take their first small, hesitating steps towards being clean, a non-gambler.

The first thing you have to understand about your wonderful mind is that it has parts.  There is the conscious part of your mind and the subconscious part.  The conscious part of your mind may want to be happy and just relax and enjoy life, but your subconscious may be preoccupied with a desire to gamble.  As long as your subconscious is fixated on gambling, there will be no relief, but the nice thing about the human mind is that it can only truly hold one thought at a time.  In other words, if your subconscious becomes filled or fixated with another thought, the gambling desire and all the nervousness and anxiety that goes with it, will disappear.


There are meditation and relaxation techniques that are very easy to learn and that you can use to clear your mind.  These powerful techniques have worked for many people, just ordinary people who happened to have a gambling problem, just like you.  If you have a gambling problem and you are sick of it, I recommend you keep treating it with a 12 step program or the therapy you are now using, but also add an Mp3 that is specially programmed to relax your mind and put those positive thoughts into your subconscious that will replace the gambling problem and give you the relief you seek.  

You won't be cured and you will still need your therapy or support group, but you will eventually find whole days and even weeks going by without that terrible battle and yes, you will find some of the joy coming back into your life.

In 1947, Opium was sent "across" in small "cans" holding six ounces, these would be sold for $250.00 each. On July 5th it was announced that the Mexico crop of opium exceeded a record 32 tons or more near the U.S.Border. Although Mexican pilots flew south, few ventured north because of the risk transporting drugs by air even though the Custom and Naroctics Bureaus of the Treasury Department had no planes of their own in 1947. Starting scheduled flights into the U.S. would enable large profits to be made by those will to take the risks.


Money generated by the sale of drugs required laundering, and gambling was one way to do that. In November 1946, gangster Paul Roland Jones approached Sheriff Steve Guthrie of Dallas and promised him a starting salary of $150,000 a year if he allowed his friends from Chicago to bring slot machines and floating crap games into Dallas. Jones said that his boss Jack Ruby was in charge of this operation and that he was due to arrive in the spring of 1947. Guthrie said he would think it over and agreed to another meeting. However, Guthrie was an honest man and turned to the Texas Rangers for help.

Led by W. E. "Dub" Naylor, the Rangers made a secret tape recording of the second meeting between Jones and Guthrie. It took a month to gather enough evidence to arrest or drive out these gangsters. Among those arrested was Jack's sister, Eva Ruby, the owner of a restaurant in Dallas and a partner in sending opium to Chicago. Victory over these mobsters was short-lived, for Jack Ruby arrived the following year and started various gambling enterprises around the city.

During this same period Jack Ruby was involved in counterintelligence. Officially, he was an aircraft mechanic in the Army Air Corps from May 1943 until February 1946 at various bases in the South. His brother Sam was also in the Air Corps as an informer, keeping an eye on communists and nazis and writing letters to his brother Jack about his observations. Although Sam wrote the letters as if they were to his brother, he actually addressed the envelopes to a counterintelligence officer.

On three separate occasions in about summer 1943, early 1944, and early 1947, Ruby went to a union hall in Muncie, Indiana to participate in meetings with communists. The union hall was on the third story of a three-story building, where gambling often happened during evenings and weekends. Ruby met with Russian Jews, some of whom were communists.

In 1947 Joe Campisi and his brother Sam Campisi bought the Idle Hour Bar in Dallas. This was the year the Campisis first met Ruby.

Additionally, Ruby was an informer for the FBN (Federal Bureau of Narcotics). After the shooting of Oswald, Mort Benjamin, an FBN agent in New York, found a file showing that Ruby had been an informer since the 1940s. When Benjamin returned to read the file again, it was missing. Apparently, someone had taken every document related to the FBN's relationship with Ruby and destroyed it.

Ruby's work as an informer is comparable to that of an employee at the TSBD (Texas School Book Depository). Joe Molina, credit manager for the TSBD since February 1947, knew Bill Lowery, an undercover agent for the FBI. In 1955 Molina and Lowery became interested in a leftist group called the American GI Forum, an organization that had the goal of fighting injustices perpetrated against people of Mexican descent. Molina and Lowery were among six individuals who formed the Dallas chapter of the GI Forum. The following year Lowery nominated Molina as chairman.


In testimony given at a hearing of the Subversive Activities Control Board in 1963, Lowery admitted he was an FBI informant infiltrating the GI Forum. By implication his friend Molina was an informant too. The Dallas police became interested in Molina after the assassination and investigated him as a suspect. They publicized his connections to alleged communists, and as a result Molina lost his job at the TSBD. If Molina was an undercover agent, then he was one of four such operatives in one location. The other three were Shelley, Bergin, and Oswald.

Winning a national lottery would be a dream come true for most people. Each year, billions of dollars are spent on scratch off tickets and lottery numbers by people hoping to strike it rich.

Americans reference the national lottery when talking about games such as Powerball and Mega Millions. Much of the money for ticket sales accumulates to payout staggering multi-million dollar jackpots offered throughout the country.


In addition to national games, many states offer region-specific games through their own lottery system. National games have substantially higher payouts than state games, but the odds are considerably higher with an average of 1 in 18 million. 

The largest lottery winnings ever recorded amounted to $380 million and was awarded in January 2011 through Mega Millions. The largest Powerball jackpot to be recorded was a staggering $340 million.

There's little doubt that kind of money could permanently alter a person's life. Winning millions of dollars would allow a person to do whatever they want, whenever they want and still have funds to pass along inherited wealth for several generations.

Certainly, most people would be overjoyed to win the lottery. However, as with most things in life there is a downside to receiving a windfall of cash.

One of the greatest challenges is coping with the unwanted notoriety. Many stories have circulated regarding lottery winners being bombarded with phone calls and uninvited guests arriving at their door. Winners can elect to keep their newfound wealth private by hiring a representative, like a financial adviser or attorney, to claim their lottery winnings.

Although it can be entertaining to dream about all the things lottery cash could be spent on, the truth of the matter is it's rather expensive to win jackpots. State and federal taxes can deplete over half of the winnings, so the best defense is immediately hiring an exceptional financial consultant. Professionals can help develop strategies to reduce taxes on lottery winnings.

Accepting jackpot funds as lump sum cash is more costly than accepting annual installments. Winning millions changes tax status and results in higher taxes. Financial planners can create investment plans to reduce tax burdens. This could be in the form of depositing money into an irrevocable life insurance trust or tax-sheltered retirement account such as a Roth IRA.

While the national lottery has multi-million dollar jackpots, state games also offer valuable prizes. All winnings acquired through gambling are subject to income tax and must be reported on tax returns. This includes prizes and cash won through casinos, horse or dog racing, raffles, contests, and sweepstakes.

So you're going on summer vacation. That's your first mistake. Why summer? Sure, our grandparents and parents took their vacations between June and September, but they had good reason. In their day, the summer heat brought urban life to a standstill. People who could afford it headed for the mountains and the seashore; resorts were crammed, beaches mobbed. And every summer you'll still find them that way.


But think about it: Eighty-three years have passed since Willis Carrier invented the air conditioner. That doesn't mean that summers are any less hot and humid, but at least they're bearable. If you work in an air-conditioned building and sleep in an air-conditioned bedroom, why join the summer-vacation crush? Why not save up your vacation money for some other season, when resorts are less hectic, Sunbelt beaches less crowded and prices more reasonable?

All right, it's because you're a creature of habit. You're accustomed to summer vacations and can't change. Have it your own way. But if you're determined to spend your travel money between now and September – and your vacation plans aren't yet set in concrete – a few words of advice are in order on where not to go.

I'm not talking about the vacation spots you've already been warned against – spots like Miami Beach and Atlantic City. I mean highly touted places where you'll spend an arm and a leg and return home asking your spouse, "Whose idea was that, anyway?" Here they are, then, in alphabetical order – the places cited in a survey of the well-traveled as the 10 most overrated vacation spots in the world:

ACAPULCO

Like Carmen Miranda and the vision of romantic Latin America she sold in the 1940s, this resort is strictly out of the past. It's also garish, overcrowded, overpriced and not especially hospitable to tourists from the United States.


Acapulco horror stories about tourist run-ins with the local constabulary and greedy merchants are a peso a dozen. The most frequently told stories involve U.S. tourists held by police because they were passengers in taxicabs involved in accidents.

Under Mexican law, a passenger has to have insurance in the event of an accident or spend a few hours at police headquarters untangling matters. If, however, you don't mind taking out special insurance, there are other spots in Mexico – Cancun, for example – that might satisfy your craving for sunshine and palm trees.

Tourists (mainly well-to-do British) began coming to Tenerife in significant numbers towards the end of the last century. At that time tourism was centred around the northern resort town of Puerto de la Cruz and, to a lesser extent, the island's capital Santa Cruz. Both towns boasted a handful of grandiose hotels, the most popular being the Grand Hotel Taoro in Puerto de la Cruz. Built in 1892, it was badly damaged by fire some thirty years later, and finally converted into the island's biggest gambling haven - Casino Taoro - in 1975. Today the casino is still one of the biggest in Spain.


Even a hundred years ago, Tenerife was famous for its year-round mild climate. But the big boom in tourism began in Tenerife, as in other major international holiday destinations, with the advent of affordable air travel, literally cutting days off boat journey times to places farther afield like the Canaries, and broadening the opportunities for holidaymakers all over Europe.


As foreign tourism increased, mostly from Europe, the demand specifically for 'sun, sand and sea' (and anything else beginning with 's'!) holidays increased and this gave rise to the development of resorts in the south of the Island, were the weather is generally better. Los Cristianos grew from a small fishing village to a major tourist centre, thankfully still retaining the 'old town' as it's heart. Las Americas, in contrast, had no such historic beginnings - it simply rose from a barren expanse of dry land next door to Los Cristianos, to become the island's premier holiday destination, with hotels, facilities and beaches being constructed (and still under constuction!) to meet the ever-growing demand.


The Canaries these days play host to over seven million holidaymakers per year and on Tenerife alone you will find British, German, Russian, Dutch, Scandinavian, French, Italian and, of course, Spanish among the many nationalities topping up their suntans on the beach under the relentless sun, for which the islands have become famous.
