The butterfly shaped island is laid out like a split personality. Basse Terre, the west wing, evokes a lost world with its volcano and mountains covered with rainforest. Grande Terre, the flatter east wing, is sunny sugar cane country with the main tourist beaches along its south coast. The Route de la Traversee across Basse Terre gives easy access to rainforest hiking trails. Loudly buzzing crickets sound scary along the trails, but Guadeloupe has no dangerous snakes or other beasts, its tourist promoters emphasize. (Guadeloupe's rather scant wildlife is on display at Parc des Mamelles zoo, farther west.) Accommodation ranges from large hotels concentrated at Le Gosier to smaller-scale cottage units (called "bungalows") and hotels. Smaller attractive places near Deshaies in Basse Terr...

On my one-week tropical getaway with Transat Holidays -- a six and a half-hour direct flight, Vancouver to Santa Clara in north central Cuba -- I stayed at two all-inclusive resorts (Royal Hideaway Ensenachos and Melia Santa Maria) on two different islands, and sampled two others (Melia Sol and Las Dunas). A third, a Barcelo property, is slated for completion by December. The Royal Hideaway at Ensenachos compared favourably with any of the five-stars I've had the privilege to stay at, such as the Allegro Papagayo in Costa Rica, the Intercontinental in Ixtapa and the Riu Palace in Los Cabos (the latter two in Mexico). But the cluster of luxury villas at Ensenachos -- at 27 hectares, the only concept resort of its kind in Cuba -- blew me away. I had my own private butler at my call to pic...

The paper describes the nature and role of accounting during apprenticeship - the transition period from slavery to waged labor in the British West Indies. Planters, colonial legislators, and Parliamentary leaders all feared that freed slaves would flee to open lands unless they were bound to plantations. Thus, rather than relying entirely on economic incentives to maintain viable plantations, the Abolition Act and subsequent local ordinances embodied a complex synthesis of paternalism, categorization, penalties, punishments, and social controls that were collectively intended to create a class of willing waged laborers. The primary role of accounting within this structure was to police work arrangements rather than to induce apprentices to become willing workers. This post-emancipation...

After careful consideration ("What could possibly go wrong?") and with much ceremony, 102 cane toads shipped from Hawaii were released into a North Queensland cane field on a June day in 1935 with the smiling benediction of the resident farmers. A satirical documentary, simply called Cane Toad, contains silhouetted shots of a toad-stoner talking about an opium-like high that assists him to "become as one with the consciousness of the toad. We'll do what they should have and eradicate the toad."

Molasses has some pretty interesting nutritional benefits. Once upon a time, folks like Granny [Clampett] put molasses on toast as a nutritional supplement -- and for good reason. Just 15 ml (1 tablespoon) contain 6 per cent of a day's recommended intake of iron, 4 per cent of magnesium, and 2 per cent of vitamin B6. That same tablespoon is worth 60 calories, compared to refined white sugar at 45 calories a tablespoon, which only provides carbohydrates and nothing else. There are lots of recipe sites online, but if you're looking for hard copy, old cookbooks seem to be the best source for molasses recipes, probably because molasses was more commonly used a few decades back. (That's partly because molasses was cheaper than refined sugar.) Virtually none of the contemporary cookbooks I lo...

The boulevard trees have grown so high they form an urban forest that rivals Winnipeg's. The traffic circles are busy at all hours now. I wouldn't ride a bike around them unless I were suicidal. He took us to the Rajghat (the site of Mahatma Gandhi's cremation), the Gandhi Museum, and Jama Majid, the largest and most beautiful mosque in India. In between we had a wild ride through the teeming narrow streets of the Muslim market. I sense the dignity and civility of Sri Kkan and his pride in India's long and largely peaceful struggle for independence are somehow related.
