Setting Up Your Oculus Quest 2 for Roblox: Necessary Devices and Accounts
If you’re a fan of Roblox and just got yourself an Oculus Quest 2, you’ll be happy to know that the two can work together. But before diving into your favorite games, there are some requirements you need to fulfill. Here’s what you need to set up your Oculus Quest 2 for Roblox.
First off, make sure you have all necessary devices. You’ll need the Oculus Quest 2 headset itself and a compatible smartphone or tablet with internet access. It’s important to note that the device needs to be connected to Wi-Fi during setup as well as when playing games on Roblox via your Oculus Quest 2.
Next, create a Roblox account if you haven’t already. This can be done through their website or app. Choose a username and password that is easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess or hack into – security should always come first.
Once your account is created and verified, download the Roblox app on your smartphone or tablet and log in with your credentials. Then open the Oculus App on the same device and sign in using the same credentials once again. Finally, turn on Bluetooth connectivity between both devices so they can communicate properly.
In conclusion, setting up your Oculus Quest 2 for Roblox requires four key steps: having necessary devices such as headset & compatible mobile device(s), creating an account with strong passwords/security measures taken seriously by choosing unique usernames/passwords combo; downloading/installing apps onto both mobile/tablet + VR software like ROBLOX or any other game client which connects players worldwide through virtual reality spaces where users interact socially while playing different genres/platformers/etc., logging into accounts within those apps’ interfaces respectively ensuring compatibility over Bluetooth connections et alia functionalities present therein!

Optimizing the Roblox VR Experience in Oculus Quest 2: Interface, Controls, and Comfort Settings
Roblox is a popular gaming platform that has been around for over a decade, catering to the imagination of children and young adults alike. With the launch of Oculus Quest 2, it has become much easier for people to enjoy Roblox in a Virtual Reality (VR) setting. However, it’s important to optimize your VR experience with proper interface settings, comfortable controls, and overall comfort settings.
The interface is an essential part of any VR experience as it helps you navigate through different menus and options easily. In Roblox, use the default Oculus menu by pressing the “Oculus” button on your controller. This will bring up the main menu where you can access various features such as games library or explore page.
Controls are also crucial in ensuring a smooth gameplay experience when playing Roblox in VR. It’s recommended to use hand tracking mode instead of traditional control sticks because this provides more immersive experiences while still maintaining precision accuracy needed for gameplay.
Lastly but certainly not least is comfort settings which play an integral role in enhancing overall immersion and enjoyment levels during extended gameplay sessions without getting too dizzy or nauseous! To avoid discomfort caused by motion sickness keep head movements slow & steady especially if playing highly intense games like roller-coaster simulators!
In conclusion optimizing your Roblox VR experience requires fine-tuning many aspects such as interface design preferences or adjust controls sensitivity to match personal preferences creating delightful immersive virtual worlds filled with endless possibilities awaits those who take these extra steps!

Several long distance busses, a failed attempt to get a Yellow Fever vaccine and a (thankfully) failed attempted kidnapping in a hearse by its driver named Fancy, I arrived in the jungle. I travelled from the more elevated cloud forest of Tarapoto, 2 hours in a colectivo to Yurimaguas and from there, 7 hours in a speedboat the next day to the quaint, yet infectiously charming town of Lagunas. From there, a small pickup took me into the entrance point of the Reserva Pacaya-Samiria - at 20,800km², it is Peru’s largest protected area and the second largest in the Amazon.
My guides were twins Dante and Santiago who possessed an almost superhuman ability to detect and locate animals of all shapes and sizes. Travelling in the hotter, drier season, we were treated to a wide array of beautiful creatures, drawn to the river in the relentless tropical heat.
Falling asleep protected only by a mosquito net and thatched leaf roof to the cacophony of insect and birdsong surrounded me every night was otherworldly. Truly a journey that brings at once deep peace and great adventure - I would definitely recommend entering Pacaya-Samiria from the Lagunas side. Less developed, crowded or costly than other options (such as Iquitos) - you will be more likely to see a greater array of wildlife in an area almost untouched by humans. Don’t worry, after a while you stop noticing the mosquitos biting your previous mosquito bites. For more information, contact Huayruro Tours.

So far, there have been two Apple rumormongers that claimed there will be a completely portless iPhone at some point in the not too distant future, and now a third one, Jon Prosser, is adding more water in his ‘Look, Ma, no ports!’ rumor mill.
Previously, both renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and the established leakster Fudge tipped a portless iPhone 13 may be on the horizon, while earlier Bloomberg reported that Apple has been toying with the portless idea since the original iPhone X that started all that notch-y design thing.
Apple, however, needed new technology if it was going to ditch ports, cables, and other annoying charge paraphernalia. Enter 2020’s iPhone MagSafe pucks and other accessories that attach magnetically to the back of the iPhone 12 models, and top them up sans cables.
Now that the general idea is clear, Jon Prosser swoops to try and fill in the details, such as the case of the single iPhone 13 portless model. Which one will it be, remains to be heard, but, given that Apple is scheduled to issue four iPhone in 2021, we doubt that it will add a fifth one dedicated to the portless cause, but instead equip its most expensive model, potentially the iPhone 13 Pro Max, with the new and exclusive looks.
This will look consumers even further into the MagSafe ecosystem, rather than go with the USB-C flow, as the EU may have skipped the session on Apple fines for wireless charging. Heck, Apple may even be awarded some green environmental trophy next year while maintaining a proprietary charging system, this time in the wireless realm.
The iPad Pro 2021 is going OLED thanks to Samsung and LG Display
The iPhone 12 Pro Max buyers may be a bit upset that their $1099 phone doesn’t have a 60Hz display but lest we forget, it was Apple that unleashed a 120Hz refresh rate device way back in 2017 when 90Hz was still a twinkle in a lot of phone maker’s eye.
Yes, we are talking about the ProMotion Display on the iPad Pro models, and in 2021 Apple may turn the tables on the competition once again by employing OLED panels for the next iPad Pro entrants. This rumor comes courtesy of Korean display industry insiders who claim that, if Apple’s miniLED display plans for an iPad Pro in the spring don’t pan out, it may release iPad Pro 2021 models in the second half of the year with OLED screens.
The specifications for said iPad OLED panels it has given to LG and Samsung, however, are higher than what it demands from them for the current iPhone 12 crop – you know, 120Hz Pro Motion or higher – so it remains to be seen whether the Korean companies will be able to fulfil them on time.
Both Samsung at its A4 plant, and LG at its E5 factory, are reportedly hard at work producing samples for the evential iPad Pro tablets with OLED displays, tip the insiders, trying to master the so-called “tandem” production structure. It apparently lets two or even three RGB emitting layers to be stacked, thus prolonging the life of the emitting material (especially blue) compared to the current one-layer depositions to prevent any whiff of burn in after extended usage.
One might wonder why isn’t Samsung a near-exclusive OLED display supplier for the iPad Pro 2021 as it is for Apple’s iPhones, but it turns out that LG has been using the tandem emitting layers method for a while in the OLED panels it crafts for many major car makers, and has some experience, too. A car is something that will be used for quite a bit longer than a consumer electronics device, so an infotainment display there has to meet and exceed those prolonged usage scenarios.
А 120Hz or even 240Hz iPad Pro OLED display would be a match made in heaven, so we can’t wait to see whether it will be Apple’s miniLED or OLED panels efforts that will pan out first in 2021.

“With every stab of 90s-nodding grunge and fuzz-drenched retro nod, the group sound like they’re surging ahead instead of looking back.” – NME
“Sophie Hopes’s vocals carry the meaty riffs perfectly as they swing between anthemic and a more punk-styled in your face delivery.” – Pilerats
“An onslaught of crunchy riffs that are buoyed by strategically placed breathing space.” – Stereogum
The band – Sophie Hopes, Nick Vasey and Ethan Darnell – announced on social media that they will commence recording their debut album and that they have enlisted the expertise of producer and local rock figurehead in his own right, Luke Boerdam of Violent Soho frontman fame to man the boards for the album. Boerdam also announced the pairing on his socials yesterday, saying “…” The two parties formed a bond last year when Tired Lion supported Violent Soho on their national Australian tour, alongside The Bronx and Luca Brasi. It will be the first time in his career that Boerdam has taken the reigns as the producer for another band.
The album has already been heralded by Rolling Stone as one of the ‘50 Most Anticipated Albums Of 2017’, thanks to the fact that, “over the past two years Perth’s Tired Lion have slowly transformed into one of Australia’s most promising punk acts.”
That news stands alongside the announcement that the band are set to perform on the Great Escape line up in May, before performing their first headline show at The Old Blue in London on Tuesday, March 28. This round of UK shows follow on from recent profiles of the band by legendary UK music outlets NME (‘New Music of The Day: Tired Lion – ‘I Don’t Think You Like Me’’) and Kerrang! (…), who have heralded Tired Lion as one of the key acts to keep an eye on in 2017.
Both announcements mark what will be a huge year for the 2015 Triple J Unearthed Artist of the Year, who had a huge 2016 that saw them dominate the airwaves with the breakout singles, ‘Not My Friends’ and ‘Agoraphobia’; triumphantly tour Europe playing the likes of Latitude and Glastonbury festivals; return home and perform barnstorming festival sets at Splendour In The Grass, Falls Festival, Southbound, The Plot, Grass Is Greener and Yours & Owls, as well as the national Violent Soho tour; and sign with US booking agency AGI (whose roster includes the likes of The Strokes and Metallica).
Colourbound is a three-piece Alternative outfit formed in 2014. The band, consisting of guitarist/vocalist Angus McRobbie, bass player Brenton Adey and drummer/percussionist Aj Hainsworth perform their own brand of energetic and melodic rock, inspired by the likes of Coldplay, Queen, U2 and The Strokes to name a few.
When Hainsworth needed a group of musicians to perform pop covers for a birthday party in 2014, she recruited McRobbie and Adey, along with a few others to fit the bill. After the success of the first show, the band decided to stay together and work towards greater goals; writing original songs and developing a sound while testing the water of the open mic-night scene in Fremantle. Jump forward to 2015, the lineup has been streamlined and the band has a slew of original tunes and a developing sound, along with a heft of stage experience.
At the beginning of the year, Colourbound released their debut EP featuring three original songs including the single 'MN' and a cover of 'Got My Mojo Working' by Muddy Waters. Colourbound are currently writing new material and have just released their double single 'Stone Dead'.
With shows popping up in Bunbury, Perth and Fremantle, the band is excited to start sharing their music on a larger scale.
The Strokes, Coldplay, Imagine Dragons, Everything Everything, The 1975, Paramore, Matchbox Twenty, Ghost, U2
Braves are a Perth band seeing how far they can get on DIY recordings, no connections, and an empty bank account. They’ve played with bands like Last Dinosaurs, The Jungle Giants, Skegss & Cloud Control and had their music appear on VICELAND, MTV & Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia. Braves like their songs fast, their beers cheap, and their games with split screen multiplayer. They’ll play at your house party sometime.
Alex – Guitar & Vocals
Simon – Guitar & Vocals
Kieran – Bass
Andy – Drums
Rolling Stone Australia:
“With just enough raw lo-fidelity left on the bones to displace their So-Cal powerpunk passion, ‘Get It Right’, the latest single from Perth four-piece Braves, is a track
superbly suited for the summer months of beer-cracking, lampooning and poolside hi-jinks. It expertly walks the line between catchiness and scrappiness with the kind of unrestrained shrug-life energy that you can safely bet the house (party) being perfectly manic in a live setting.”
Consequence Of Sound:
“Slackerdom and partying are cornerstones of some of the more popular sects of punk. It’s the celebration of opposing conservative ideals of older generations, spitting in the face of conventional lifestyles while cracking open a morning beer. It’s a tradition being happily carried on by Perth, Australia’s Braves with their scrappy, unhinged guitar licks. ‘Dropout’ is a ferocious punk anthem, complete with snark and plenty of vicious screams.”
“Drowning in their own distortion, there’s a healthy mixture of punk, garage and silky lo-fi guitars buried beneath the fast paced, energetic, untidy melodies – a deliberate move, of course. Plus almost every song references the beach; you can’t get more surf-rock - or Australian - than that.”
Last Lions first formed whilst at high school together in late 2012. Blending modern Australian indie-punk, with American emo, they've become one of Perth's favourite up and coming punk acts.
Since their live debut in 2013, Last Lions have taken out first place in the Rockingham Festival of New Talent and The Carine Tavern's Battle of the Bands, landed support slots for the likes of Hawthorne Heights (US), Moose Blood (UK), Gnarwolves (UK), British India, Luca Brasi, and Tired Lion, and even found themselves on the Hyperfest 2015 lineup alongside DZ Deathrays, Ball Park Music, and Trophy Eyes among others.
In August 2017, they followed up numerous demos with their first official release "The Sky Was Black." The single reached #3 on the Triple J Unearthed Punk charts in the first week of it's release, and was voted in at 4th place in Live and Local 89.7fm's Top 20 WA Songs of 2017 listener poll. Since reshuffling their a lineup in November, they've landed support slots for The Bennies, Horror My Friend, and Royal Chant, have begun recording new music for their next release, and are continuing to play relentlessly around WA.
If you love catchy indie punk tunes about the ups and downs of growing up in Perth's southern suburbs, then you'd probably love Last Lions.
A roots rock artist from Margaret River who is rapidly making a name for himself on the West Australian music scene with his phenomenal guitar work and foot-thumping, energetic on-stage vibes.
Born and raised in a small town in the Midwest of Australia, Tom was introduced to the guitar at the age of 12 by his father, who showed him a few chords. He was immediately hooked.
Since quitting his full time job in 2014 to pursue his musical career he has supported some renowned Australian acts such as Thirsty Merc, Kallidad and Morgan Bain, as well as appearing on the lineup for the 2016 WAM South West Showcase.
Having recently returned to the South West after a massive WA tour off the back of his new EP, ‘Searching for Splendor’, he is gearing up for a busy summer of shows including the Festival Of King Island with acts such as Kim Churchill, Shaun Kirk and Benny Walker to name a few.
‘Searching for Splendor’ went straight to #1 on the iTunes Blues charts following its release in May 2016, with the first single ‘Vent’ reaching #1 on the Triple J Unearthed Roots Charts. His live performances show great diversity from finger-picked melodies to heavy handed upbeat jams, all while thumping away on a beautifully crafted stomp box.
"Throughout the set, Day dropped a foot-thump of energy to the crowd" - The Music
Ricky is a singer/songwriter originating from the SW coastal region of Western Australia. Known best for his silky smooth vocals and warm catchy songs, he spends the majority of his time divided between the stage and ocean. His debut EP, released in 2012, was the first taste of his heartfelt and subtle brand of surf folk. Ricky has recently cemented his style with a second EP "These Are The Good Old Days", in which he shows a more developed and mature understanding of music and the world he lives in. A large part of Green’s time away from recording has been spent traveling, playing shows and surfing; he spent three years moving through Europe,the U.S and Indonesia, a journey which undeniably energised his creativity.
When home in West Aus Ricky likes to spend his time split between the stage and the ocean. His eager persistence and undoubted talent have earned him spots supporting artists such a Husky, Donovan Frankenreiter and Cloud Control.
With catchy songs and a personality to light up any stage, Ricky is not one to miss.

Camaro tops Mustang in dependability solidifying its dominance in the pony car class
The Camaro Mustang rivalry is one of the best in the automotive world and Camaro seems to have nosed ahead lately. In its recent dependability study the Chevy Camaro was first in its category. That category being the one that Mustang started back in the 1960s. We like to call them “pony cars” but J.D. Power and Associates calls these cars “midsize sporty” cars. Call them what you will, there really are no other rear-drive affordable coupes selling in any numbers even close to the Mustang and Camaro.
There are some Chrysler products that are in and out of contention, but calling them midsize is a stretch. Hyundai has the excellent Genesis coupe, but that vehicle is not available in V8 format, the configuration which defines this segment.
The J.D. Power and Associates Vehicle Dependability Study looks at cars 3 years old to determine how reliable they have been in comparison to their peers. In the Midsize sporty car category, pony car class to the rest of us, the Camaro was at a distinct disadvantage heading into this match up. The Camaro was all new three years ago and the Mustang was not a new vehicle that year. Thus the Camaro had the wind in its face as it joined this contest. However, in the end the Camaro prevailed. This is starting to be a trend for Camaro.
In a recent slew of car magazine contests the Camaro is doing quite well. The folks at Chevy and Ford either on purpose, or by coincidence create many close match-ups of the Camaro and the Mustang. The head to head matchups should be taken lightly. There is not very much comparison shopping from brand to brand between these two rivals. Like a man is either a Ginger or Maryann guy, car enthusiasts are generally either a Camaro or Mustang fan.
And please don’t let me give you impression we at Torque News make the mistake of thinking that only guys buy these cars. We not only know the sales of these ponies are just as often, if not more often, to woman than to men, we know a lot of enthusiast women who own amazing mustangs. One dental professional we know has an extremely rare 1960s Mustang Hertz car worth close to the value of a nice beach house. She is not alone.
That said, the Mustang Cobras do sometimes take the win in matchups with Camaro ZL-1s, but not often. The Camaro SS 1LE recently beat the Mustang GT Track Pack in a Motor Trend head to head comparo lapping Willow Springs fully 3 seconds quicker than the Mustang.
Magazine comparisons are created to sell magazines. We suspect the wins and losses may have more to do with keeping readers interested than in which car is the better consumer choice. However, cars are meant to create revenue and the Camaro is winning that race hands down. In decades past the Mustang used to outsell the Camaro. In fact, the Camaro was discontinued for a while due to lack of buyer interest. Our own Patrick Rall is the go-to guy at Torque News for sales numbers on muscle cars and he reports on the sales of the Camaro-Mustang-Challenger trio monthly.
Not only has the Camaro sold more units than the Mustang this past month, it has sold more cars than the Mustang in 2012 overall, 2011 overall, and 2010 overall. If that isn’t the deciding factor in deciding which is the better car we don’t know what is. Tell us below what you think is the better car and why.

I can’t even watch tv for nine hours straight, so when I heard Canadian born rapper D.O. had freestyled for nine hours straight, earning him a Guinness World Record, I was more than a little impressed. But freestyle endurance isn’t the only thing going for the man: D.O. and his musical compatriot Slakah the Beatchild (who handles most of the production work) also form Art of Fresh, a genre-bending crew making their DJBooth.net premier with their new track Out of This World. Behind the boards Slakah puts together a sonic patchwork that’s part disco, part hip-hop and all head-nodding energy, while D.O. grabs the mic for rhymes that are as intelligent as they are catchy (Slakah even throws in some vocal contributions of his own). Out of This World may catch some off guard, but personally, I’m digging the originality. If you want more boundary defying action from Art of Fresh, keep an eye out for their upcoming album Back to the Earth, which currently had no release date.

There is a long tradition of advertising copywriters who become authors of cultural significance, from Carl Sandburg to Don DeLillo to Fay Weldon to Salman Rushdie. A new addition to this roster is Augusten Burroughs, who first emerged with 2000’s satirical novel ”Sellevision” and more spectacularly with last year’s best-selling ”Running With Scissors,” a memoir utterly devoid of self-pity that detailed his bizarre childhood growing up in the care of his narcissistic mother’s crazy shrink and his encounter with a pedophile who essentially became his lover.

XXL FRESHMAN 2021 LIST REVEALED: WIN OR LOSS???
Shortly after making my XXL Freshman prediction for 2021, they released the list. A solid amount of the list I was able to get correctly, but there were many people that I did not anticipate making this list at all. Many on the internet are calling this list the worst list they have ever created. This is my reaction to the list:
From my predictions, I got a whopping 5/11 people correctly, and 6 if you like to include 42 Dugg. (I guess there are also 11 people appearing on their list now.) While I am not saying that the unanticipated people do not deserve to be on this list, there are people like Rubi Rose, who many did not know made music. There were a few oddballs and many who I thought should have made the list. In my opinion, my list is more rational than the official list. To start, I will discuss the people who I did not know, or think about, prior to the release of this list.
XXL FRESHMAN 2021 OFFICIAL LIST REMAINDER:
Again, I am just as surprised as everyone else. I know of Rubi Rose, but had no idea about any of her music. I would think that regardless of whether I knew of her work, I would at least know of her as an artist. I knew that she was in entertainment. From what I understand, she was previously a model. This must be a clout thing. What I want to express is that regardless of connections, there is no way she should even be close to this list. For a normal person that would like to pursue a music career, it would take years of hard work and dedication to become an XXL freshman. She’s only been making music for a couple of years, based on her Youtube. Well, I wouldn’t be surprised if she is capable of pursuing a rap career after this opportunity. I can see cosigns from the likes of Cardi B or City Girls.
I think Iann Dior deserved to be on the Freshman list. This was someone who I wouldn’t doubt if he did make it. With his affiliation with Internet Money, they helped Iann prosper into the artist he is today. There have been multiple times where he has been called an industry plant. He then named one of his projects Industry plant, so if someone were to search up “Iann Dior Industry Plant”, his project would be the first to appear. This was one of the smartest decisions Dior has made. When looking at videos like Progress Iann Dior analysis, it is possible that he is an industry plant. One should not have to go through making a project named after the truth. I am still not a big fan of his, but with millions of numbers on his Youtube, and a hit with 24KGoldn, I think it’s safe to say that he is the next big artist.
I never heard of Blxst a day in my life. When looking at his youtube page, I hear many harmonic vocals that may be similar to Drake. With 250k followers on Instagram, I think Blxst may be the smallest artist to appear on the list. It is possible that he is independent, but he definitely is going in the right direction. He has worked with the likes of rapper Drakeo The Ruler and even Amazon Originals. Even though I believe he is too small for this list, I believe that this may be the biggest artist out of the overall list. (If everything goes as planned.)
Lakeyah is another person who I have never heard from. Lakeyah is doing significant numbers and is affiliated with Quality Control. Being signed is very significant, as she has millions of views. With those numbers, she definitely deserves to be on this list. It is possible that she is being pushed to the mainstream by the label, but from what I can see, her growth looks authentic. Similar to Megan thee stallion or Rico Nasty, I think she has a signing and rapping voice. When looking at her page, you can see the growth in sound and production. Overall, a solid pick for XXL, but there are more fitting people for the spot.
I knew nothing about Toosii, but from looking at his Instagram, he seems pretty established as an artist. With 3 million followers on Instagram and collaborations with the likes of Da Baby, there is no doubt that the North Carolina rapper was meant to be on this Freshman XXL list. Similar to Lil Baby, his sound is more of melodic rap, but he does have a more lyrical sound. I would definitely like to hear him and Lil Baby go bar for bar on a track.
XXL FRESHMAN 2021 LIST CONCLUSION
With most of the artists that I didn’t predict, XXL could have chosen more relevant artists. None of these artists are significantly bad, well, for the most part. It felt like XXL just called any artist to appear on this list. This list seems like something that was created to promote the artist. Not because they are on the rise, but more so as advertisements for the artist. I think record labels got behind this list from a business perspective. I would replace Rubi Rose, Blxst, and Toosii. Toosii is too big, but by contrast, Blxst is too small. Rubi Rose is irrelevant in my opinion. I feel as if this list is something the artist could utilize to their advantage to clarify their skills/ clout. For any talented artist, this shouldn’t have to be the case. With the XXL list for 2018, we see that all great things come to an end. Will any of these artist careers reach levels of superstardom?, Or will they see their unfortunate fate of “flopping” or “falling off”? Only time will tell.

A speedboat driven by a St Mary’s man which killed his friend in a collision took off like “a skier hitting a ski jump” because of its high speed, a court has heard.
Philip Colver, 32, has pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter of 31-year-old Benjamin Cochrane, who died when the vessel crashed into his fishing boat off St Mawes on July 16 2005.
He also denied causing grievous bodily harm to Ben’s brother Frazer and friend Chay Richardson, who were also in Cochrane’s 15ft Dory.
He admitted breaching marine regulations by failing to keep a proper watch, driving at excess speed and failing to exhibit navigational lights.
Prosecution witness Anthony Heslop of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), said: “When it hit the Ketts (Mr Cochrane’s boat) it had the effect of a skier hitting a ski jump - there was very little damage to the Ketts.
“I conclude that Carrie Kate (Colver’s boat) would have been going at very close to its absolute full speed to clear the Ketts. That speed would be approximately 30 knots (35mph)”.
He said he doubted the Carrie Kate could have cleared the Ketts at 25 knots.
MCA marine surveyor Capt Roderick Johnson told the court he considered 8-10 knots a suitable speed for the water between Falmouth and St Mawes where the collision took place, but with lights on.
The Ketts did not have any lights and the Carrie Kate’s were not switched on, Truro Crown Court was told.
On Tuesday the jury visited the scene of the accident at St Mawes.
The eight men and four women, along with judge Mr Justice Owen, watched from St Mawes Castle as a speedboat similar to the Carrie Kate came across the water.
They then returned to court to hear evidence from two passengers who were in Colver’s boat.
Ciaron Gray, who was in the boat with girlfriend Alison Jenkin and her friend Rosanna Martin, said Colver “was not drunk and did not appear to be affected by the alcohol he had consumed. I had no concerns about his ability to control the boat or about travelling quite fast.”
Rosanna Martin said Colver did not strike her as being drunk.
On Monday, prosecutor Philip Mott QC had told the jury that both Colver and Cochrane had been drinking and were more than twice the legal drink-driving limit when the crash happened.
The pair had been drinking together in a pub in Falmouth earlier in the day.
“The allegation against Colver is not that he was negligent, he is charged with being so grossly negligent that his crime is categorised as manslaughter,” he said.
The trial continues.

A studio video to show off this small painting.
This painting is part of a large collection of works. The paintings will be on display at my solo show opening July 2nd at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina.
A little drama and a little beauty to start the week. I had painted a couple smaller pieces with a similar color scheme. Working on a couple new ones that are a bit larger.
I am always drawn to light and atmosphere. This painting incorporated those elements well.
Two atmospheric pieces embracing the light. The one on the left has sold, waiting on a frame before I can ship it off.
I took a few more high resolution photos yesterday, this was one capture. Today I have some paintings to varnish and prepare for framing. More importantly I am going to be painting!
Pleased to hear this painting just sold through Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado.
Morning light shining through the fall leaves, hard not to love such a delight. I was greeted with fresh snow this morning, winter is eager.
Simplification and abstraction, concepts I play with to varying degrees in my work. This little painting is all about the feel of light.
I really like the color scheme and moody vibes of this painting. As I prepare a lot of giant boards I am going to be going back and forth between small paintings and huge panels. Ultimately I want to create more large scale epic works. The large pieces are much more expensive to make and end up with a large price tag so tougher to sell. Ultimately they are more satisfying and I aim to please myself.

Tuesday, November 21, 2006 Fez Sacred Music Festival 2007 Morocco Property offers you this news:
There has been much conjecture and discussion the Fez Sacred Music Festival in 2007 - and now we can reveal some details of the program. They will become public knowledge shortly, but, as they say in the classics, "you heard about it here first!" A New Director. For a start, the new Director General is Naima Lahbil Tagamouti. Naima is a former professor of economics in the Economics department, Faculty of Law, at the Allal Ben Abdellah University. Her research has covered such areas as land tenure, property, heritage, historical sites, poverty and unhealthy habitats in the medinas and slum areas. From 1994 to 2000, she was instrumental in setting up the project for the rehabilitation of the Fes Medina as well as in the preliminary studies on the Meknes medina. She has also contributed to or directed, on behalf of the World Bank, several studies on social evaluation, property, poverty, habitat, tourism and heritage. Since 2000, she has run a social monitoring programme of conservation for the World Bank and ADER (Agency for the Dedensification and Rehabilition of the Fes Medina). She has published various works and many articles. In 2003 and 2004, she was a UNESCO consultant in preparing a seminar on international training, ‘Fes 2003’, with the theme of heritage and sustainable development in the historical urban centers. She has been a management coach since 2005, and has been recently appointed Director General of the Sprit of Fes Foundation. It is our understanding that because Naima took over the administration of the 2007 festival at short notice and on a very tight timeline, the complete progamme is not yet ready for release. But The View from Fez can report on two of the outstanding performances we can expect at the festival. Le Zoulou Blanc with Johnny Clegg. Johnny Clegg was born in Rochdale, England in 1953 and raised in his mother’s native land of Zimbabwe before immigrating to South Africa at the age of nine. Clegg first came to world attention with a crossover band “SAVUKA” (We have risen), mixing African music with Celtic folk music and international rock sounds. SAVUKA launched in Johannesburg in 1986 with 5 week run at the market theatre. The band was well received and Clegg was offered a mini tour of France. A year later their Third World Child album was released in France. The band toured Europe extensively in 86 and 87 and soon developed a strong fan based which began to be translated into album sales. By the end of 87 SAVUKA was the leading world music group touring the francophone countries. Johnny Clegg Greater success lay waiting in the phenomenal record sales that began to consolidate in 1988. By the end of 1989, SAVUKA had sold over 1 million records of their debut album and their second album was reaching 700,000 units. In an incredible moment on the album and singles charts, SAVUKA held the #1 and #2 position on the album charts with the 1st and second album at the same time, and on the singles charts held the #1 and #7 position with their singles " Asimbonanga " and "Scatterlings of Africa". This was a momentous achievement for the group out of South Africa and in 1990 they received the "Victoires" award from the French recording industry for the biggest selling international artists over two years. They also received in that year the world music award for the biggest selling world music group internationally. In 1990 they completed a nine-month world tour and in 1991 took off six months to rest. In October 2002 Johnny Clegg released a new solo CD titled “New World Survivor”, and completed a very successful run of theatre shows in South Africa playing to over 40,000 people in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town. In July 2003, Johnny Clegg embarked on a very successful tour of France and Germany. At one festival, 140km north of Paris, Johnny Clegg played to 60,000 people, breaking all previous attendance records for this biennial event. In Germany, Johnny blew the crowds away and had to perform no less than three encores for the enthralled crowd before they would leave. And in 2007 he will perform in Fez. "A poet working with horses" - Bartabas - the magical horseman from Theatre Zingaro. This will be a sensational performance in an extraordinary venue. The performance will take place at dawn in the Hafra de Moulay Idris (the Hole of Moulay Idris) - the giant hole in the ground where the founder of Fez is said to have dug all the sand and stone for the original Medina of Fez. In this giant quarry Bartabas will be accompanied by the Turkish ney (reed flute) player Kudsi Erguner and vocalist/percussionist Nezilh Uzel . Those who have seen Theatre Zingaro will tell you that this is great theatre, not circus, although the crowd cheers the spectacular acrobatic skill of some of the younger riders as they stand astride a pair of galloping Arabs, or hurl themselves over the broad backs of the big Shire and Percheron horses. But for aficionados it's the far more subtle art of Bartabas on his white stallion conducting an extremely elegant dance in perfect harmony, or 'dialogue' as Bartabas would have it - that is a truly heart stopping experience. This symbiotic, long-term relationship with his horse is demonstrated in another sequence, as Bartabas, arms outstretched in flowing wings of black silk, and the centaur-like horse dip and weave as one, and then canter, impossibly, backwards! No photo, no painting can reproduce the sensual impact of the presence, the life force, that's in a beautiful horse. As Bartabas says: "We have been working for 15 years, we have made six different performances and they are basically about the relation between man and horse. It also means the relationship between men themselves. Because the way you are with a horse is the way you are with others. When you are dealing with a horse, you're dealing with what's inside yourself, so I always say the horse is like a mirror, the horse is like an instrument in a noble sense, he's responding to what you are proposing, whether you want a dialogue, or to write a poem with the horse. I say I'm a poet who's working with horses." Also on the program will be a celebration of the life and work of the great Sufi sage Jallaludin Rumi as 2007 is the 800th anniversary of the birth. There will not be an event at Volubilis in 2007. In 2007 the Fes Sacred Music Festival will be held between the 1st and the 9th of June.

The FAA is investigating a California county's move to ban 100LL aircraft fuel at two airports at the start of the new year, saying the move is a potential violation of conditions to receive federal money.A letter dated Dec. 22, addressed to the Santa Clara County airports administration, says the FAA has received multiple complaints from airport tenants and users, alleging violations of grant assurances at the Reid-Hillview Airport (RHV) and San Martin Airport (E16).The complaints come after county leaders voted earlier this month to ban the sale of leaded fuel at the airports. In August, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to find a way to end the sale of leaded fuel at the airports "by any means," including the closure of the airport.
According to the San Jose Spotlight, the earliest the airports could close is 2031, due to a federal lease agreement. County supervisors have said they will petition the FAA to allow them to move that date up.
The FAA wants the county to respond to its investigation by Jan. 11, which the agency expedited from the normal 30-day timeframe for a response, because of the impact of a fuel ban and because the county is allegedly refusing to renew tenant leases that expire after the end of 2021, including for FBOs.
"The FAA is committed to building a sustainable aviation system and a lead-free future, and the agency will work with the county to achieve this shared goal," the letter states. "However, in the interim, all parties must adhere to grant assurances."
The agency says both airports have been financed in part under the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, and that between 1983 and 2011 the county received $6.8 million in federal aid for the airports, along with $4.6 million for the San Martin airport, and that the grant conditions prevent the county from limiting businesses to provide aviation-related services, including fueling.
Santa Clara County leaders said they based their vote on a study that showed elevated lead levels in children living near the airport. Those levels were in line with levels seen in children across California.
An attorney representing businesses at the airports has filed a request seeking an exemption to the ban until approved unleaded fuels can be made available.
Aviation groups including the AOPA and NBAA have called on the FAA to investigate the 100LL ban. The groups support the removal of lead from aviation fuel but say moves like the one in Santa Clara County could result in aircraft misfuelling, potentially ending in disaster.
"Unlike automobiles, if an aircraft has engine trouble, it cannot simply pull over to the side of the road," the aviation groups said in a joint letter earlier this month. "The automobile industry took time to safely transition to unleaded fuels and was successful, and the aviation industry must do the same."

This is not a good news day for pharmaceutical industry employees. First, Sanofi-Aventis acknowledges downsizing that will affect hundreds of workers. Johnson & Johnson's Tylenol recall scandal is claiming some 300 positions at its McNeil Consumer Healthcare unit. And now, Eli Lilly is letting go 340 IT personnel as part of a reorganization announced last fall to trim 5,500 jobs.
Actually, Lilly has already cut 140 jobs through retirements, resignations and an earlier round of layoffs, The Indianapolis Star writes. Of course, do the math and this means 200 more IT folks are going to be out of work soon -115 of those cuts will take place this month. Lilly employs about 1,250 people in IT.
The Lilly cost-cutting is designed to save about $1 billion since huge gobs of revenue will soon be lost to generic rivals to its best-selling meds. In recent months, the Star notes, Lilly has cut thousands of scientists, sales representatives, marketing and public relations professionals, along with other workers (see here).

The Watching Cat
London: Davies, 1960
Who was Pamela Fry? None of my Montreal friends, bookish types all, have been able to answer this question. Yet the married "Miss Fry" once lived in the city and twice used it as a setting in mystery novels. Both were published by respected houses, both were lauded in the pages of the New York Times and both have been out of print for half a century.
The Watching Cat, Pamela Fry's second mystery, stumbles out of the gate with an entirely unimaginative premise: Catherine Ellis, a young, single schoolteacher from a remote Manitoba town inherits a large Montreal house from a previously unknown, eccentric uncle. Much as I'd hoped the work would quickly ready itself, Miss Fry fairly clings to cliché as the story falters forward. Poor Catherine, an orphan, enters what she expects to be an empty domicile only to encounter an evil stepmother, an unstable half-sister and a tall, dark and handsome lodger. A shady lawyer works in the background as those in the know sneak about the house looking for riches hidden away by the recently deceased funny uncle.
It all seems so forgettable, but I'll remember The Watching Cat as one of the most disappointing novels I've ever read. The author has a peculiar penchant for planting, then ignoring, seeds of a dark psychological drama. When the evil stepmother relates stories of family mental illness, Catherine begins to question her own sanity – but only for a paragraph or two. Gaslight invariably dims to a Nancy Drew mystery, as when our heroine is awoken by a scratching sound:
The noise came from somewhere very close – surely it was the other side of this very wall, the wall alongside her bed. There was someone in Uncle Jeremiah's room... She looked at the luminous dial of her watch. It was three minutes to four... But who could be in there at this time of night – and for what reason?
So boring, so bland... and yet on occasion The Watching Cat stretches to rise above it all. Catherine's half-sister, for example, proves not to be mentally ill, rather she's a heroin addict. Her pusher is boyfriend Eddie, a young medical school drop-out who is not only in on the scheme, but is probably sleeping with the evil stepmother. And there's a good deal of fun, like when small town girl Catherine, dressed in a hideous handmade green taffeta gown, attends a party populated by beats.
Nearly everything I know about the attractive Miss Fry is found in the book's author biography. Her debut novel, Harsh Evidence, published in London by Wingate (1953) and in New York by Roy Publishers (1956), is held by all of nine libraries worldwide. Harsh Evidence isn't listed for sale online, and seems exceedingly scarce – only the British Library has the Wingate edition – so you'll understand my surprise in discovering that it was translated into both Swedish (De döda tala ej, 1956) and Finnish (Kuolleet eivät puhu!, 1957) .
Did more mysteries follow? The only other books I've been able to uncover by Miss Fry are The Good Cook's Encyclopedia and The Good Housewife's Encyclopedia, both published in the early 'sixties by London's Spring Books. I'll step out on a limb and speculate that a third Spring title, Cooking the American Way, is naught but a repackaging of the first.
Who was Pamela Fry? Disappointed as I was by The Watching Cat, it contained just enough quirk to keep me in the hunt for the answer.
Object: A very attractive hardcover in dark blue boards. I can't quite make out the cover artist's signature. My copy, signed with publisher card, was purchased this past autumn from a Montreal bookseller who tells me that he has never seen another. It would appear that that this, the novel's only edition, received no second printing. No Swedish or Finnish translations this time.
Access: A rare book, Canadian library patrons will find The Watching Cat at the University of Toronto, the University of British Columbia and the University of Victoria. A mere three copies are listed for sale online. At US$15.77, Serendipity Books of West Leederville, Australia offers the one in best condition ("top edge foxed else v.g. in worn and sl. torn d/w"). Second place, goes to a New Zealand bookseller who is selling a slightly less attractive copy for an even twenty American dollars. A Canadian bookseller in Oakville, Ontario brings up the rear by asking C$60 for a crummy thing that lacks the dust jacket and front flyleaf. On the other hand, The Watching Cat is so uncommon that it might just be worth the price.

When we travel, we love to know inhospitable corners and certain curiosities of the places we visit. Because, We want to talk to you about the most dangerous airports in the world. It sounds ironic that there are dangerous airports where one of the safest means of transport exists. But yes, there are and these are some.
1. The most dangerous airports: Juancho E. Yrausquin, Saba (Netherlands Antilles)Saba Airport - Photocapy / Wikimedia Commons
Like cutting a corner of a cape from sea to sea, and with only 400 meters in length, This is one of the smallest airstrips in the world. Making maneuvers here becomes an odyssey, so only the most experienced pilots are allowed to fly to and from there.
Of course, there is no better natural escape than the one offered by this airport. If you travel there to see nature, you will see it booming as soon as you get off the plane.
In Antarctica there are several airports and airfields. Don't you understand why they are among the most dangerous airports in the world? Why here the tracks are ice! Although they are not commercial airports to use, it is quite a challenge to take off and land on them.
One of the great challenges is, without a doubt, to prevent the ice from breaking, because the weight of the planes is easily achieved. Thus, the tracks are adapted with machines that 'mow' it and that cover them with ice sheets to make them more resistant.
3. Courchevel (France)Courchevel Airport - MartinPUTZ / Wikimedia Commons
It is located on a hill, so your landing strip is not flat as it should be. It is only 500 meters long to accelerate and reduce maximum and minimum speeds.
After crossing the French Alps, it will not give you time to recover from the almost heart attack it gives you when you see them so closely, when you will be landing on this complicated track. But if you want to ski in the area, you will not be able to arrive otherwise. You dare?
4. Congonhas, Sao Paulo (Brazil)Congonhas Airport - Valter Campanato / ABr / Wikimedia Commons
It is not strange to see a plane that almost brushes the surrounding houses of one of the only runways and takeoffs that are built in the heart of a city. Brazilians say they are used to it, but will they really not wonder what will happen if the plane falls? We could not help it!
The airport was built in 1936, and then it was when the growth of the city arrived. Everyone wanted a 'post' near the airport that would revalue the home.
5. Lukla (Nepal)Lukla airport - smallufo / Flickr.com
With only 600 meters in length, this airport is the most curious, because lands in a populated area. When a plane is about to land or take off, people are alerted through sounds similar to alarms.
However, this is not the important thing, the funny thing is that there is a fence that determines the end of the airport and the beginning of a cliff several hundred meters of fall. If you want to visit Everest, you will have no other way to get there.
6. Princess Juliana (Saint Marteen)Princess Juliana Airport - alljengi / Flickr.com
Surely more than once you have seen this photo or some similar. A plane that almost touches people who enjoy a beautiful beach paradise. And no, it is not a montage, it is real and it is from this Caribbean airport.
Although not only they cross the beach, but a huge gate and part of the city, until they reach the final landing strip. Luckily the coordinates do not fail, although it is true that More than one curious has got a good scare, and there has even been an accident.
7. Gibraltar (Great Britain)Gibraltar Airport - Armando G Alonso / Flickr.com
As you well know, Gibraltar is a small rock, but it has an airport that crosses it from side to side. The distance is barely a kilometer. The complicated thing is that it crosses the only exit and entrance road to the city.
There are some traffic lights, both for cars and pedestrians, which turn red when a plane is going to land or take off. Everyone waits while admiring the show of an airplane trying to catch the speed required to take off in less than a kilometer, or reduce it to land. If you go to the rock, keep track of the traffic lights.
"It is easier to travel on an airplane, even to fly it, than to understand why it can fly."
-John von Neumann-
You still don't know any of the most dangerous airports in the world? Maybe your next vacation is a good opportunity to go to at least one of them, you dare?

- Mora, New Mexico
Coordinates: Mora or Santa Gertrudis de lo de Mora is an unincorporated community in, and the county seat of, Mora County, New Mexico, United States. It is located about half way between Las Vegas, New Mexico and Taos on Highway 518 at an altitude of 7,180 feet. The Battle of Mora was fought in Mora in 1847, where US troops eventually defeated the insurgents, effectively ending the Taos Revolt in the Mora Valley.
Hispanic settlers had occupied lands within the Mora Valley without legal title ever since Governor de Anza had made peace with the Comanches in the late 18th century opening up the east side of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains for settlement. However, Mora was formally founded as a farming community in 1835 The settlers came from primarily from Las Trampas, but also from Picuris and Embudo. The 76 families each received a strip of land by grant of Governor Albino Perez. Despite fanciful stories about fur trappers, scattered bones and subsistence on mulberries (mora means mulberry in Spanish), the fact is that the valley, the river and the town took their name from the family name "Mora" of several of the settler families.
In 1843, there was a raid on the town by Texas freebooters under Colonel Charles A. Warfield claiming that the people in Mora had purchased stolen beef from the Comanches. The Texans killed five men and took eighteen women and children captive as well as 75 horses. The people of the Mora Valley convened a posse, overtook the Texans, and sent them back to Texas on foot.
In 1847, after the Battle of Mora, Federal troops killed stragglers, looted and burned the town, the nearby ranches, and all the crops. The town was essentially destroyed and was rebuilt by the insurgents who had fled at the news of artillery coming up the valley. After 1851 when Fort Union was established on the Santa Fe Trail, these same farmers sold their crops to the fort.
Ceran St. Vrain settled in Mora in 1853 built a grist mill and became a major supplier of flour, grain and fodder to Fort Union. At the peak in the 19th century there were five grist mills operating in Mora. The ruins of St. Vrain’s mill still sit one block north of Mora’s main street.
On 22 February 1916, the common lands of the Mora landgrant are sold to "The State Investment Company" at the courthouse door in Mora. Without access to the grazing and timbering lands, many residents sought work outside Mora.
One of Frank Waters’s most popular novels, "People of the Valley" takes place high in the Sangre de Cristo mountains where an isolated Spanish-speaking people confront a threatening world of change. Based on Mora, NM ISBN 0804002436
Mora was also in "The Daybreakers" by Louis L'Amour. The character Orrin Sackett was the fictional Marshal of Mora.

Enter the dragon
Big day in Berlin with European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi entering the lion’s den of the Bundestag to explain to German lawmakers why his plan to buy sovereign euro zone bonds in potentially unlimited amounts poses no threat to the ECB’s remit and the euro zone economy.
Former ECB chief economist Juergen Stark – one of Draghi’s most trenchant critics – told us yesterday that the ECB president must present much more convincing arguments than hitherto as to why the plan would not pile enormous risks onto the ECB’s balance sheet for which European taxpayers could have to pay.
The session, which will include 10-minute introductory remarks from Draghi followed by a lengthy Q&A and then short public statements from Draghi and Bundestag President Norbert Lammert, is a rarity. The hawks in parliament will demand to know how bond-buying is remotely in line with the ECB’s mandate. The more moderate will at least want to hear what sort of conditionality the ECB wants to see before it leaps into the breach, and the backdrop is coloured by continued Bundesbank opposition to the Draghi strategy. Angela Merkel is speaking at a separate event in Berlin in, as does Wolfgang Schaeuble later in the day.
Spain will probably loom largest for the German lawmakers but Greece continues to run it a close second with suggestions growing that it will get an extra two years to make the cuts demanded of it. But even that may not be enough for the EU/IMF/ECB troika of inspectors to conclude that Athens’ debt sustainability programme is back on track. The IMF appears to believe that only a writedown of Greek bonds held by the ECB and euro zone governments will do the trick. They, predictably, are not keen.
Last night, two Greek junior coalition partners continued to oppose planned labour reforms despite a new draft document showing measures and targets agreed by the two sides said the austerity cuts would be spread over four years rather than two and an apparent concession by the troika – to row back on a plan to axe automatic wage rises. Proposals to cut wages and lower redundancy payments remain on the table.
Key ECB policymaker Joerg Asmussen is out saying that giving Greece more time means more money. The Nov. 12 meeting of euro zone finance ministers still looks to be the likeliest venue to try and finally agree a solution although there is talk of an earlier meeting doing the rounds. However, that is probably too early to tackle a Spanish sovereign aid request now with Madrid’s funding position looking manageable in the short-term and no signs of haste from that quarter. Today, parliament continues to debate the government’s budget with Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy slated to speak.

The start of 2020 was supposed to be a time when Australia was counting down the months towards achieving the goal of a 30 per cent reduction in road deaths and serious injuries over the past decade.
The latest Australian Automobile Association (AAA) report shows 1188 people lost their lives on Australian roads in 2019; a 4.7 per cent annual increase that more than reverses the small improvement recorded the previous year.
Particularly alarming annual increases were recorded in Victoria (25.8% increase) and South Australia (42.5%).
The latest edition of the AAA’s quarterly Benchmarking the Performance of the National Road Safety Strategy 2011-2020 shows the Australian Capital Territory as the only jurisdiction on track to meet the decade’s targets.
Signed by state and federal governments in 2011, the National Road Safety Strategy aims to reduce road death and injuries by 30 per cent through the decade to 2020. Yet the new analysis by Australia’s peak motoring group shows the 2019 road toll to be significantly higher than it was in 2014 (1,151 fatalities).
AAA Managing Director Michael Bradley said: “These figures underscore the failure of Australia’s current approach to road safety and make clear that our current Strategy has not been supported by the investment, leadership, or accountability required.
“Successive inquiries and reviews have said Australia needs – and can develop – a new approach to road safety, with an enhanced role for Canberra sitting at its core.”
The AAA – which represents more than 8 million motorists through its member clubs, the NRMA, RACV, RACQ, RAC, RAA, RACT and the AANT – has called on the Federal Government to urgently adopt key recommendations of the Reviving Road Safety strategy, which last year brought together the expertise and input of 23 organisations dedicated to improving road safety.
Priority recommendations include linking federal infrastructure funding to the Strategy’s objectives and targets; policies that encourage the delivery of safer vehicles; and establishment of a national Road Safety Data Hub.
“The AAA has welcomed the Federal Government’s recent establishment of a National Office of Road Safety to oversee the next National Road Safety Strategy, and the appointment of the Assistant Minister for Road Safety,” Mr Bradley said. “The establishment of a bipartisan Select Committee on Road Safety is also welcome, as it has the potential to highlight a clearer federal road safety role and ensure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past.”
