Imagine that similar technologies used to search for missing flight MH370 will be launched from Bermuda this summer.

BUEI invite you to join Dr. Bill Curry, President and Director of the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) for Exploring New Frontiers on Friday, June 20th.

Trial missions will begin this summer at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) sites with a Slocum glider from Teledyne Webb Research.

This hi-tech glider, as well as others to follow, will provide new information about the ocean on daily timescales, helping us to better understand hurricanes, climate change and the marine food web in the waters around Bermuda.

Whenever Alike’s development becomes a topic of discussion at home, her parents’ already strained marriage is pushed to the breaking point.

The movie is rated R and has a running time of 87 minutes. This event is free and is on a first come first served basis.

Now that Heroes Day is over, the next public holiday is the big one – Cup Match!

All of you locals will be VERY familiar with what Cup Match is all about but some newbies or tourists out there might be wondering why there is all this fuss over a game of cricket.

The Thursday is officially Emancipation Day and the Friday is Somer’s Day. On the surface, Cup Match is a cricket game played on a two-day public holiday on the Thursday and Friday before the first Monday in August. This means that for 2014, it is on Thursday, July 31st and Friday, August 1st. It is much more than just a cricket game though and, when combined with the weekend, becomes a four-day celebration of all things Bermudian.

Cup Match pits the East of the Island, St. George’s, against the West, Somerset, and alternates venues every year. 2013 will be played at Somerset Cricket Club and next year will be at the Wellington Oval in St. George’s. You will be able to spot St. George’s fans by their light blue and dark blue attire and Somerset will be in red and blue.

Even those who aren’t fans of cricket attend the game from 10am until 6pm each day to experience this uniquely Bermudian experience, soak in the carnival atmosphere, local food and drinks, see the outrageous fashions and to try their luck at gambling on the Crown & Anchor tables (only legal during Cup Match).

Tickets are available on the gate and are usually around $20 for adults, less for children under 12.

Visiting the Island over Cup Match? Bermuda Tourism and the Bermuda Hotel Association host a Cup Match Visitors’ Stall where tourists can sit back, relax and enjoy the game with complimentary refreshments.

 

Fiona Couper-Smith of Inner Balance Bermuda is now offering Reflexology at the Bermuda Aquarium in front of the North Rock Tank. This is by appointment only on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 5pm. For further information, contact 333-5514 or visit www.innerbalancebermuda.com.
