Hulu has adapted Margaret Atwood's 1985 dystopian novel The Handmaid's Tale, which premiered on April 26th. Catch up with the latest updates, trailers, and commentary.
Jul 26, 2019
Hulu isn’t ready to leave the Republic of Gilead just yet. Today, at its Television Critics Association presentation, it announced that it has renewed The Handmaid’s Tale for a fourth season.Read Article >
Based on Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel of the same name, it’s set in a world where the United States has fallen into a theocracy where women are stripped of their rights and forced into sexual slavery. The series is almost done with its third season, and in the last two seasons, it’s moved further away from the original novel. Hulu didn’t say when the new season would debut.

Sometimes, discovering a new fictional world is like forming a crush on a relative stranger. It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement for something fresh and unique. In fiction, that can mean discovering a new universe that feels revelatory. But often, the more you learn about that world, the less it holds up, and the less time you want to spend with it. Reading the next book in the series, or watching another episode, you become disappointed, because this shiny new world doesn’t make nearly as much sense once the details are filled in.Read Article >
The secret comes down to ensuring that each new detail introduced, each new development, not only makes coherent sense within the narrative’s established framework, but actually enhances the audience’s understanding. And most franchises don’t hit that bar. The Wachowskis’ original 1999 film The Matrix is a good example. It’s a near-perfect science fiction movie on its own, set in a future where machines have turned the human race into batteries kept complacent by a virtual reality. But the ancillary material (including comics, animated shorts, and video games) tried to build a simple story into an epic story-verse, and the sequels The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions added in some convoluted notions without enhancing the original story. For all the time the story spends in the human city of Zion, the dance-orgy and character-drama segments don’t say much about how this future functions, or add dimension to the man vs. machine conflict. The new details complicate the franchise without helping hold it together, or providing meaningful story hooks for the main characters.

In “Night,” the first episode of season 3 of Hulu’s dystopian drama The Handmaid’s Tale, the house where much of the first two seasons took place burns to the ground. The camera pans between the small room where handmaid June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) was imprisoned, the study where she bonded with her captor, Commander Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes), over tense games of Scrabble, and the master bedroom where he repeatedly raped June with the goal of producing a baby that his wife, Serena (Yvonne Strahovski), could claim as her own. As the flames consume each set, the metaphor is clear, if not exactly subtle. This part of the story is over. It’s time for something new.Read Article >
That’s a good thing for The Handmaid’s Tale, which became a seemingly endless string of murders, mutilations, and general misery in season 2. Based on Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel, the series is set in a near future where the United States has transformed into the misogynistic theocracy Gilead, and fertile women are pressed into sexual slavery. But after the show moved beyond Atwood’s storyline, showrunner Bruce Miller largely abandoned story and character development in favor of a series of portraits of female despair. Given that real-world women are now frequently dressing in the show’s signature red dresses and white bonnets to protest abortion restrictions passing around the country, the unrelenting brutality and bleakness in Handmaid’s Tale felt too real to be entertainment.
May 1, 2019
Hulu has unveiled a new look at the upcoming third season of its dystopian series The Handmaid’s Tale, showing off the birth of a resistance movement.Read Article >
This new trailer opens with Offred (Elizabeth Moss) highlighting some of the changes that have come to the world. She opted not to leave Gilead during the show’s second season, and it seems she’s now hard at work formulating a revolution against her oppressors and hunting for allies to help her.
Hulu’s original series The Handmaid’s Tale is back for season 2, looking bloodier and more harrowing than ever. The series, based on Margaret Atwood’s freshly relevant 1985 novel, is set in a near-future dystopian country named Gilead, where widespread infertility has changed the political and social landscape. Fertile women are a commodity — dubbed “Handmaids,” and passed out like property to powerful families to be ritualistically raped and used as surrogate mothers. The entire society of Gilead seems to be built around propaganda and social control. Like so much science fiction, it’s meant to explore the possible end results of present developments, and to serve as a cautionary tale.Read Article >
But what does this harrowing, oppressive drama really bring us? In the show, men are executed for possibly imagined crimes, but the show lingers the most on the suffering of women who are tortured, mutilated, or murdered for offenses as small as mocking a warden. It’s a show about systemic, fascistic control, and especially about the control and ownership of women’s bodies.
Apr 26, 2018
The Handmaid’s Tale is a difficult show to appreciate right now. After following the plot of Margaret Atwood’s 1985 book in its first season, its second season piles on a series of additional horrors, all set in the future nation of Gilead — a religious theocracy that kills and tortures women who refuse to submit to male ownership. As my colleague Laura Hudson writes, “its portents are so terrifyingly familiar that they have become excruciating to watch.”Read Article >
The Handmaid’s Tale’s premise — that you can’t permanently stamp out sexism, just send it more or less into remission — is perpetually timely, as is Gilead’s basic disregard for women’s bodies and choices. But for all this, The Handmaid’s Tale’s vision of religious oppression feels strikingly at odds with how misogyny works today.
Mar 8, 2018
Hulu has released a new teaser for the next season of its dystopian show, The Handmaid’s Tale, listing off all of the things that that the Handmaids have to contend with in their day-to-day lives in the oppressive country of Gilead.Read Article >
The list essentially boils down to obeying and submitting to men: “wear the red dress, wear the wings, shut your mouth, be a good girl.” It feels entirely appropriate for the teaser to land today, on International Women’s Day: a pointed reminder of the systemic inequality that exists today, and which is depicted at its extremes in the show.
Jan 14, 2018
Hulu has released its first trailer for its upcoming second season of The Handmaid’s Tale, revealing that the show will return on April 25th, and that we’ll see a bit more of the world beyond the oppressive world of Gilead.Read Article >
When the show ended its first season last year, its main character, Offred, was captured by authorities, while her friend Moira escaped into Canada. Set to a creepy cover of Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth”, the trailer shows the characters dealing with their predicaments. We see Offred gagged by officials, Moria in Canada, and what looks like the feared colonies — contaminated and polluted regions of the former United States that the Republic of Gilead sends its prisoners to.

Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale has won the 2018 Golden Globe for Best TV Series in the Drama category. The series, based on Margaret Atwood’s novel, was up against The Crown, Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, and This is Us.Read Article >
Series creator Bruce Miller accepted the award, saying, “To all the people in the world who stopped The Handmaid’s Tale from coming real: keep doing that.”
Jan 8, 2018
Elisabeth Moss won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Drama tonight, for her performance as Offred in Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale. The series is also up for Best Drama, and Ann Dowd is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Aunt Lydia.Read Article >
Moss also won the Emmy for her role in September, and has been nominated for a Golden Globe twice before for her work on AMC’s Mad Men. Accepting the award, she read a statement from The Handmaid’s Tale author Margaret Atwood that related the show — a near-future dystopian political drama about an America in which women have no rights, and exist only to reproduce — to the current crisis point for sexism in Hollywood.
Oct 31, 2017
In March 2017, a group of women marched into Texas’ state capitol building, dressed in the scarlet robes and puritanical white bonnets of the Handmaids from Hulu’s about-to-be-released show The Handmaid’s Tale. Based on the novel by Margaret Atwood, the show depicts a dystopian world where women are brutally stripped of their rights and exploited for reproduction. The theme was no accident; the women were there to protest a bill that would restrict abortions in the state. They sat silently in the balcony, surrounded by armed police officers, sending a message with their presence — turning cosplay into a political act, and inspiring a national anti-abortion protest movement that has adopted the costume as a de facto uniform.Read Article >
The protest was loosely inspired by a Hulu promotional event prior to the launch of the series, where models donned the garb of the show’s iconic Handmaids at this year’s SXSW festival. News of the stunt reached Heather Busby, the executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Texas. “This isn’t the first time Pro-Choice Texas used costumes,” she explained in a phone interview with The Verge. “Back in 2015, we had folks in hospital gowns to protest another abortion restriction. We had an inkling that this kind of thing is effective, and the timing of the show coming out, and with the book experiencing a resurgence in popularity, it seemed like the perfect convergence of all those things.”

Recently, both Starz’s American Gods and Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale wrapped their debut seasons. Both shows have been acclaimed for their focus on relevant political issues, such as women’s rights, the spread of fascism, and the dangers of religious extremism. But what makes both shows pressingly important in 2017 is that they’re driven by a single focus: demonstrating the danger in the creeping normalization of a hostile ideology.Read Article >
On their faces, both shows share some basic similarities: they’re both adaptations of classic speculative fiction novels, and both explore the role religion plays in the United States. Handmaid’s Tale author Margaret Atwood has explained that her novel, in which a religious regime turns fertile women into sexual slaves called Handmaids, isn’t a dramatic leap from reality. As she conceived of its story, she incorporated historical statements and behavior. Meanwhile, American Gods explores the generational gap between traditional, mythological gods and the new generation, as the prayers of believers shift from one to the other. Essentially, both shows acknowledge unsettling futures, then set out to ask, “How did we get here? How did this become the status quo?”
Jun 18, 2017
The Handmaid’s Tale finished its first devastating season on Hulu this week, but the adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s chilling dystopian novel will come back for a second season.Read Article >
The novel and show portray a dystopia in which women are stripped of their rights under the Republic of Gilead, an oppressive theocratic regime that rises up in place of the United States. Atwood published her novel in 1985, and noted that she specifically drew on things that had been said or done. “I would not put into this book anything that humankind had not already done, somewhere, sometime or for which it did not already have the tools." Her influences drew on Puritanical New England, as well as other well-known dystopian novels such as George Orwell's 1984 and Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.

In Western fiction, dystopic stories often ask, "What if this atrocity had happened to white people instead?"Read Article >
That was the formula more than 100 years ago, when H.G. Wells wrote The War of the Worlds, its narrator comparing the Martian invasion of Britain to Britain’s ruthless invasion of Tasmania. It’s the formula in Universal Pictures’ new franchise-starter The Mummy, which envisions a Middle Eastern woman bringing war to London, as Brits and Americans brought war to Iraq. And it’s the basis for Margaret Atwood's 1985 novel The Handmaid's Tale, which imagines a world in which white women are enslaved and sexually coerced as black women were under American slavery.

Last night, Saturday Night Live parodied Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale with a short sketch featuring a group of handmaids who come across a group of bros that they knew in their former lives. While the lives of the women (formerly known as Girl Squad) have drastically changed, the men’s lives haven’t.Read Article >
Chris Pine’s stereotypical bro and a friend encounter the group of women, and only vaguely remember society drastically changing. Pine offers up a weak excuse: “I think I actually read something about that, but I’ve been super busy at work lately.” No matter how much the women try and explain what’s happened, it’s clear that the guys are aren’t really paying attention.
May 3, 2017
Hulu has renewed The Handmaid’s Tale for a second season, Variety reports. The news comes just one week after the series premiere, which, according to Variety, was Hulu’s most-watched series premiere ever. The show, which is set just beyond present day, has drawn praise from critics for its representation of a totalitarian universe where women have been stripped of their rights.Read Article >
The series, which stars Elizabeth Moss, is based on Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel of the same name. Although the first season already steps outside Atwood’s created universe, a second season is even more likely to include new storylines and characters. There have also been a few rumors that Atwood is planning to write a sequel herself.
Apr 13, 2017
In recent months, The Handmaid’s Tale — Margaret Atwood’s 1985 dystopian novel about a patriarchal future where fertile women are a tightly controlled commodity — has become more of a symbol than a piece of fiction. From a “Make Margaret Atwood Fiction Again” sign at a protest to women protesting a restrictive abortion law in costume, it offers a form of protest that cuts straight to the misogynist thread in American populism. Hulu, which will premiere an adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale on April 26th, couldn’t have asked for better publicity.Read Article >
But The Handmaid’s Tale is more than a political jab. In the first three episodes provided to reviewers, it’s a dystopia that manages to stand out in a television landscape already full of apocalypses and oppressive imaginary societies. It’s a colorful TV series about a woman negotiating domestic drama, and judging from its initial installments — all three of which will be released simultaneously on April 26th — it might be one of the darkest shows on television this year.
Mar 23, 2017
The first couple of short teaser trailers for Hulu’s upcoming series The Handmaid’s Tale have given us tantalizing glimpses of the adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s classic dystopian novel. A new, longer trailer shows off the rise of the Republic of Giliad and its brutal oppression of women.Read Article >
“We were asleep before, that’s how it happened,” Elizabeth Moss’ Offred says in the beginning. She goes on to say how society didn’t wake up as a series of crises brought about the oppressive religious regime. We see that laws are enacted to restrict the rights of women, and that armed men patrol the streets. Offred is captured and forced into her new role as handmaid, bearing children for the society’s barren elites. It’s a chilling preview, made all the more frightening as various characters rationalize the society that they’ve built, saying that they’re making the world a better place — for some.
Mar 9, 2017
In a Reddit AMA yesterday, Margaret Atwood shared her impressions of the first three episodes of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, said America is dangerously close to dystopia, and pretended that it’s not cool to like Mel Brooks. She really covered all the bases.Read Article >
“Based on what I've seen it's a 10,” she said, when asked to rate the overall quality of the series. “My criteria: puddle of goo on the floor [by the] end of Episode 3. Gasp. Shriek. It goes farther than I did in the book…”

Dec 16, 2016
Hulu announced last spring it was turning Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale into a series starring Elizabeth Moss. Today, that series got a release date: April 26th, 2017.Read Article >
Moss will play Offred, one of a small group of fertile women kept in sexual servitude by the male ruling class of a fundamentalist society called Gilead. In Gilead, women have been stripped of all rights, and Offred and the other Handmaids are at constant risk of being sent off to concentration camps.
Apr 29, 2016
Hulu has given a series order to The Handmaid's Tale, a show based on Margaret Atwood's 1985 novel of the same name. The story is set in Gilead, a military republic (formerly part of the United States) where a suspension of the Constitution strips women entirely of their rights. Atwood will serve as a consulting producer for the series.Read Article >
Elizabeth Moss (Mad Men) will star as Offred, a handmaid whose sole function in society is a reproductive one. She is "assigned" to The Commander of the new regime, a man named Fred whose relationship with Offred is an unorthodox one.

“I feel pretty good and I am definitely getting better… I think if all the beans were on the table, I would be out there (playing right now).”
That’s Andrew Bynum from the Sixers training camp last year, on Oct. 9 to be exact.
We bring you that as a bit of context for the Andrew Bynum news coming out of the Cleveland Cavaliers media day.
He has been cleared for basketball activities but has no timetable for return. Philadelphia fans are nodding their heads, they’ve heard this before. Last season Bynum got all the way to 5-on-5 scrimmages but never got into a game, there were always setbacks and issues.
I don’t doubt that Bynum has real pain in his knee, and I certainly don’t doubt that he is working hard to get back (he knows future paydays are on the line). It’s not a question of if the mind is willing, it is the strength of the flesh I question.
Until I see him enter a game, I’m skeptical. So take today’s news however you wish.

Opening tomorrow at London's Michael Hoppen Gallery, ‘Measuring Infinity’ – on view until 23 December – is a solo exhibition from photographer Chloe Sells, who spent the last two years documenting the heart of Botswana’s Kalahari Desert, the Makgadikgadi Salt Pan. Sells plays with alchemic processing in the darkroom, helping her large-format photographs bring new life to the arid landscape. The artist’s experimentation with hand drawing and paint renders a new perspective on landscape photography; though the horizon line, seen in each work, creates an understanding between the fixed and altered layers.

Photographer Chloe Sells splits her time between Botswana and London – the former of which serves as inspiration for this glorious series of photographs entitled Swamp.
Her process involves making large format negatives of photographs of the swamp that surrounds her house in Botswana. Back in London she experiments in the darkroom and studio to produce vibrant and unique images that communicate her sense of place in southern Africa.
We were totally blown away by the vibrancy of the images, which are more akin to paintings or digital renderings than photography.

When we say Chloe Sells has been around a bit, we mean it in the politest possible way; the American born artist has travelled extensively and uses her experiences to shape and direct her work. Her most recent collection Senescence (that’s biological ageing to you and me) uses a combination of photographic negatives and post-processing techniques to create the unusual effects of colour and light that distort the tableaux of her handmade prints. Sells uses still life as the basis for her compositions, the decaying organic material is chosen as a symbolic substitute for her experiences of a place.

Somewhere between David Lynch’s “Candy Colored Clown” reference as a nightmare-induced liminal performance piece and the Instagram nation’s slow and enduring chromophilia lies a land of disquiet where the analog color saturation and the similarly enduring still life coalesce into the apocryphal natural beauty and lucid visions of Chloe Sells

A matter of life and death
The town of Maun in north-western Botswana lies just south of the Okavango Delta. A vast inland body of water planted in the even vaster Kalahari, it teems with life – but the heat and humidity of the savannah also accelerate the cycle of growth towards decay and death.
It is a cycle prominent in the work of Chloe Sells. Born in Colorado, the photographer settled in Botswana with her South African husband 12 years ago, and her new project, Senescence, uses the traditional form of the still-life to explore her personal experiences of the country.

Failed Fertility Treatments, Poorer Heart Health Later?Study found small link, but researchers not sure if treatments or underlying health problems to blame
Monday, March 13, 2017
MONDAY, March 13, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Women who undergo fertility treatment but don't get pregnant may have a slightly higher risk of heart disease, a new study suggests.
Failed fertility therapy was linked to a 19 percent increased risk of heart attack, stroke or heart failure later in life among the women in the study, said lead researcher Dr. Jacob Udell. He is a cardiologist at Women's College Hospital in Toronto.
"Two-thirds of women were unsuccessful after undergoing fertility treatment, and it was in those women we found an association with an increased risk in adverse cardiovascular events long-term," Udell said.
But the study did not prove a cause-and-effect link between the two.
Udell said he and his colleagues conducted this research after noticing that fertility drug treatments can create short-term complications, including high blood pressure and diabetes -- conditions linked to long-term heart health risk.
The researchers reviewed data on nearly 28,500 women under age 50 -- the average age was 35 -- who received fertility treatment in Ontario between 1993 and 2011. All of the women were followed through March 2015 to see if they developed heart health problems.
About one-third of the women gave birth within one year of their final fertility treatment, according to the researchers.
But the two-thirds who didn't get pregnant had a slightly higher risk of later heart problems compared to those who did become pregnant, the findings showed.
"We just want to caution this isn't cause for alarm," Udell added. "On an absolute scale, the risk was modest. It was equal to about four additional events for every 1,000 women who had undergone fertility treatment."
Nevertheless, one expert in women's heart health said it is something worth weighing prior to fertility treatment, as well as a risk factor that should be monitored afterward.
"For women who are concerned, it is best to evaluate cardiovascular disease risks before fertility therapy, and for these women to be followed for cardiovascular disease risk after treatment," said cardiologist Dr. Nieca Goldberg. She is medical director of NYU Langone's Tisch Center for Women's Health in New York City.
Udell pointed out that because the study was observational, the researchers can't say for certain what's behind the association between failed fertility treatment and future heart risk.
It could be that fertility treatments simply involve women who already have underlying health problems, Udell said. In fact, those health problems might be why they can't get pregnant, he added.
"The act of fertility therapy may be essentially a metabolic stress test that uncovers women who are destined to have medical complications or medical troubles long-term," Udell said. "This is often a woman's first exposure to really intensive medical care."
On the other hand, fertility therapy involves powerful drugs that amp up a woman's reproductive cycle. "Perhaps these very powerful medications used in frequent doses could be causing some injury to circulation or causing some premature heart disease," he said.
Regardless, these results should not dissuade a woman from pursuing fertility treatment, given the low absolute risk of a heart attack, stroke or heart failure, Udell said.
Women whose fertility treatment failed experienced about 10 critical heart events per 1,000 women within the next decade, compared with about six events per 1,000 for women who became pregnant and delivered a child after fertility therapy.
"These opportunities to start a family are very critical," Udell said. "I wouldn't discourage women from seeking out those treatments. It's not a reason not to try, but it's a reason to remind your family doctor or your specialist later in life about what you were exposed to earlier that could affect your heart health in middle age."
The study was published March 13 in the CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).

Following on from his earlier books which examined Aleister Crowley's times in Berlin and America, Tobias Churton turns attention to a crucial and formative period in Aleister Crowley's tempestuous spiritual journey - his visits to India. Drawing on Crowley's unpublished diaries, he gives the low down on Crowley's adventures, his travels across the subcontinent, his moutaineering feats, and the people he encountered. He explores Crowley's engagement with yoga and Hindu religious currents; interestingly he also gives some space to discussing the thorny issue of how much Crowley was interested in Tantric practices. Engagingly and wittily written, this book is an important contribution for understanding the influence of India on Western occultism, and for a better understanding of the contexts which informed Aleister Crowley's ideas.

Access and Quality for Illinois Children is a statewide needs assessment that examines access to quality early childhood education (ECE) services, including both home- and center-based care and preschool programs.
The goal of this report is to inform stakeholders of the disparities in access across communities in the hopes of serving the greatest number of children in need of care with the highest quality of care. Stakeholders can use the information presented to create a comprehensive, high-quality, equitable strategy for children throughout Illinois as well as reflect on targeted geographic strategies.
The report highlights the counties with the most limited access to ECE in order for investments and improvements to reach the areas with the greatest need. An additional report prepared by the Erikson Institute helps to build on the trends in access and quality identified in this needs assessment.
Press questions may be directed to Katie Coleman at 312 521 7381.
Please visit our online library for earlier IFF studies on the early education sector.
- Increase access to infant and toddler care in Illinois. This is the most expensive care to provide, and lack of access results in fewer parents returning to the workforce. More importantly, the quality of educational experiences during these very early years is crucial to child development and growth. Among other strategies, Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) reimbursement rates need to be increased to meet the true costs of high-quality care.
- Grow supply of quality providers in Illinois’ more rural counties. Residents of rural areas across the state have far less access than urban communities to high-quality ECE providers. Given the low population density of rural communities, it is challenging for center-based providers to serve every community; therefore, home-based providers and family/friend/neighbor care are important and valued parts of the rural ECE supply.
- Promote equitable ECE access in low-income communities throughout Metro Chicago. In many of Chicago’s high-poverty communities, ECE access falls below the state average. Promoting equitable care requires increasing funding available to providers. And, as communities move toward universal 4-year-old care, community-based providers need to be part of the conversation so that the marketplace is not destabilized — and so families still have access to full-day, full-year care for their 4- and 5-year-olds.
- Expand ExceleRate participation statewide. Access to high-quality ECE services is not uniform across Illinois, due in part to limited advancement beyond the Licensing Circle of Quality in ExceleRate. Outreach strategies tailored to center-based or home-based providers are necessary to increase quality improvements.
- Support efforts for statewide collaboration across the ECE system. Many efforts exist across Illinois to support knowledge-sharing and funding, yet programs and investments are oftentimes uncoordinated with only regional concerns or a specific issue area in mind. Additionally, while many statewide data sources exist, these entities are highly disjointed. This lack of integration limits the ability to obtain a complete picture of the ECE landscape in Illinois.

Aug 21 2014
The Green Public Procurement Project is a strategic approach to scale-up public demand for environmentally and socially preferable goods, services and infrastructure. The GPP project has now been introduced in Bhutan.
The Finance Minister Namgay Dorji launched the Green Public Procurement Project in Thimphu, today.
The project aims to influence public procurement processes, making a strong case for more sustainable purchasing decisions by the government. The project is not only to minimise negative impacts but to generate positive multiplier effects for the environment, people and for the domestic economy.
The project director of the GPP in Bhutan, Kelzang said, the project will address issues on large volumes of public expenditure and promote sustainable consumption and production in the country.
Some of the International Partner Organizations says GPP has many benefits and proved success in other parts of the world.
The GPP Bhutan project for over three years is funded by the European Union with allocated budget of over one million Euros.

Can Tennant show Jared that age is just a number, and that love is all that matters?
The Rowe Brothers are famous hockey hotshots, but as the youngest of the trio, Tennant has always had to play against his brothers’ reputations. To get out of their shadows, and against their advice, he accepts a trade to the Harrisburg Railers, where he runs into Jared Madsen. Mads is an old family friend and his brother’s one-time teammate. Mads is Tennant’s new coach. And Mads is the sexiest thing he’s ever laid eyes on.
Jared Madsen’s hockey career was cut short by a fault in his heart, but coaching keeps him close to the game. When Ten is traded to the team, his carefully organized world is thrown into chaos. Nine years younger and his best friend’s brother, he knows Ten is strictly off-limits, but as soon as he sees Ten’s moves, on and off the ice, he knows his heart could get him into trouble again.

Tennant is the youngest of the Rowe Brothers hockey stars, but he’s tired of playing in their shadow. He decides to make a move to the Harrisburg Railers, a young team with his brother’s friend Jared Madsen as a defense coach. Dealing with culture shock with the move from Texas to Pennsylvania is one thing. But never did he realize as a closeted hockey player he’d be attracted to a coach, let alone Mads. Mads knows that the players are off-limit and there’s also the decade long age difference. Will either one be able to resist the temptation?
“The kiss had been hotter than the kinkiest sex I’d ever had. It had been nothing more than the heat of our bodies and the taste of his mouth and, f*ck, I’d been close to rutting up against him and coming in my pants like a teenager.”
I love hockey romances so I was pretty excited for a new M/M one. Tennant is a closeted hockey player that is attracted to the defense coach, Mads, his brother’s friend. While I got the reasons to keep this hush hush, the taking it at a snail’s pace drove me almost as crazy as Ten! I found the relationship between Mads and Ryker to be sweet and heartbreaking at times. Ev…omg! Ev stands for evil. Mads and Ten could almost send me on a sugar overload with how cute their interactions were as they grew closer. I enjoyed this new series and can’t wait to read more.
If you like cute hockey stories with all of that testosterone flying, you will love this sports romance. Ten and Mads were made for each other and I can’t wait to read about how the other players find their “one”.

When Amir Blumenfeld was deciding what to purchase for a Secret Santa present trade, he landed on one thing sensible: an at-home Covid-19 testing package. “What better gift is there than peace of mind?” Mr. Blumenfeld, a 38-year-old comic, wrote in a direct message on Twitter.
At the guts of his quip was an pressing concern: Coronavirus circumstances are as soon as once more rising around the United States because the Delta variant has given solution to Omicron, a extremely contagious type of the virus. The surge has fueled demand for Covid exams forward of the Christmas vacation as households search methods to assemble safely.
Some have braved hourslong lines at local testing sites to receive polymerase chain reaction tests, whose outcomes, obtained in a laboratory, are thought-about the gold commonplace for detecting the virus. Many others have rushed to purchase rapid at-home tests, depleting the inventory at pharmacies and on-line shops. The frenzy for at-home testing has turned the kits into a commodity and even made them covetable vacation presents.
On Tuesday, President Biden is expected to share a plan to fight the spread of Omicron, which incorporates distributing 500 million free fast exams to the general public, although it isn’t but clear how that concentrate on quantity might be met. Various states, together with New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts, have additionally laid out plans for growing entry to free fast exams.
Abbott Laboratories, which made headlines again in August for destroying materials utilized in its exams, citing restricted shelf life, mentioned the corporate is presently making greater than 50 million BinaxNOW fast antigen take a look at kits each month. In January, the corporate mentioned, it can enhance its output to 70 million a month.
“We actually maintained usable test components, many of which have been in short supply during the pandemic — such as reagent bottles, cardboard packaging, swabs, nitrocellulose strips and even paper labeling — so that we could have them in the event that we needed to scale back up, which is exactly what’s happening now,” John Koval, a firm spokesman, mentioned in a assertion.
Pharmacies have seen a spike in demand for at-home exams, most of which price between $7 and $24. Some are beginning to place limits on what number of every buyer can purchase.
“Following Thanksgiving and leading into the upcoming holiday week, we’ve seen an unprecedented increase in demand for rapid OTC Covid-19 tests across the country,” a spokesperson for Walgreens mentioned. “Some stores may experience a temporary shortage in rapid OTC testing solutions.” The spokesperson added that a four-item buy restrict on take a look at kits went into impact on Tuesday.
A consultant for Amazon mentioned: “At this time, we are experiencing inventory shortages on some Covid-19 tests due to increased demand” and that the corporate is working to “secure additional Covid-19 test inventory” from promoting companions.
Similarly, a Rite Aid spokesperson mentioned in a assertion that “in many areas, demand is simply outpacing supply from manufacturers.”
A Target spokesperson mentioned the corporate was working with distributors to satisfy the “strong” demand this vacation season. Representatives from Walmart and CVS mentioned that on-line stock for testing kits was restricted. A spokesperson for Walmart mentioned that the “inventory levels” in shops had been substantial.
Justin Vavrick, the creator of NowInInventory.web, a web site that has been tracking the availability of at-home Covid tests because the spring, corroborated the businesses’ statements.
“I think a lot of the inventory has been shifted to the stores,” Mr. Vavrick mentioned in a cellphone interview. In-store pickup is the place you’re most likely going to have the most effective success.”
The Coronavirus Pandemic: Key Things to Know
Some individuals have been stockpiling testing kits, citing considerations in regards to the Omicron variant. Amber Decker, 45, a genetic genealogist in Columbus, Ohio, mentioned that she initially began accumulating a small stockpile of exams forward of a journey she and her associates had been planning for January. “I wanted to be able to ask everyone to test without asking each person to spend money on tests,” she mentioned. So at any time when she noticed testing kits on sale, she purchased them.
Ms. Decker presently has 13 particular person exams and simply ordered eight extra. “We have used home tests a handful of times in the past when we had worrisome symptoms, but with Omicron, it looks like we will probably need to be using them more often,” she mentioned. But price of the exams “really adds up,” Ms. Decker added.
Last week, President Biden announced that non-public insurers will begin reimbursing individuals in mid-January for at-home exams purchased over-the-counter. But the upfront price of the exams, and the labor concerned find them, has restricted their accessibility.
After visiting half a dozen completely different pharmacies in Champaign, Ill., and developing empty-handed, Cynthia D’Angelo realized that the highest present of the season isn’t a ’54 convertible or an NFT, however a take a look at package.
Ms. D’Angelo, an assistant professor on the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who can be immunocompromised, mentioned that the college had supplied school and workers free fast testing since final summer time. But after planning to fly to California forward of Christmas, she determined to look for a few fast take a look at kits of her personal.
“I literally went to six different pharmacies, like all of the Walgreens and CVS in Champaign, and none of them had them,” Ms. D’Angelo, 40, mentioned in a cellphone interview. “The first place I went, if I’d gotten there five minutes earlier, I would have gotten the last one, but I literally saw someone pick the last one off the shelves.”
Fortunately, a pal who lives an hour away has supplied her a few exams.
“I am paying her back,” Ms. D’Angelo mentioned, “but definitely a gift that she was able to get them and bring them to me. And I will be sharing them with my family in California.”

Don´t Only Play People Better Than You
There’s a misconception in squash that says you should only play people better than you and if it were true very few people would play other people. Sometimes we have matches where one day I win and the next you win, but often you know who is better.
Putting aside whether you know or not, there is definitely value is playing somebody you know you are a bit better than.
It allows you the opportunity to practice aspects of your game that you wouldn’t normally be able to.
Keeping the rallies going for a bit longer is a good example. Slightly higher but softer drop shots or more defensive shots. The list is almost endless.
So, if you are given the opportunity to play weaker players than yourself make sure you make the most of it – don’t just beat then but improve as well.
That way, both players will benefit and everybody wins!

Authentic Mama: Nimble Storytelling about Nigerian Life
Olunosen Louisa Ibhaze
YEAR OF PUBLICATION
Everything you need to know about the flavour of Authentic Mama is on the first page: the novel opens to a scene of the larger-than-life protagonist Iye Baby fighting with the wife of one of her many clients. With liberal use of pidgin and Nigerian-isms, Olunosen Louisa Ibhaze paints a hilarious and vivid picture of Iye Baby, a prostitute and proprietress of Love Your Neighbour Bar and Beer Parlour, and her life in the multifaceted fictional city of Nimbe.
While most of the action centers on Iye Baby’s vicissitudes of fortune, we also meet a colorful cast of characters: from Iye Baby’s arch-nemesis Oyibo, to her best friend Taibat, the one-eyed playboy Valentine, the naïve nursing school student Evangeline, and the downtrodden but judgmental Promise. With such a large cast of secondary characters, writers often run the risk of creating one-dimensional caricatures who only exist to move the plot along. However, Ibhaze deftly avoids this pitfall by humanizing all her characters, revealing their motivations and redeeming qualities even as we see their many flaws.
In a sense, the Imose Sisters Association of Distinguished and Accomplished Ladies, of whom Iye Baby is president, reflects Authentic Mama’s approach to Nimbe and its inhabitants. Despite internal petty rivalries and external opprobrium from more “upstanding” members of society, the Imose Sisters support each other and reach out to people simply because they need help – what they do for a living doesn’t preclude them being good people. In the same way, Ibhaze describes the lives of her characters as chaotic, yet their antics never overshadows their humanity. Every character is interconnected in what seems like a really small world, but by the end of the novel, the reader gets the sense that Nimbe may not be as small as it seems.
Among Authentic Mama’s greatest strengths is that it is popular fiction written about Nigeria for Nigerians, while still being accessible to non-Nigerian readers. In a style reminiscent of Cyprian Ekwensi’s Jagua Nana, the novel takes a humorous look at the lives of ordinary people who end up in various predicaments by bad luck or poor choices, and try to make the best of things in any case. But even in its fast-paced storytelling are deeper questions: what forms the basis of our judgments of other people? And how can we be more compassionate in our assessments of a person’s character? In real life, I am not sure how sympathetic we would be to someone like Iye Baby, yet this novel has us rooting for her. And this is what ultimately makes Authentic Mama a memorable read.

Budget 2016 is disappointing for real estate sector: RK Arora, Chairman, Supertech
None of the grievances of real estate sector for providing bank finance has been addressed in the budget and the Real Estate is made entirely dependant on high cost finances
The Union Budget 2016 is a disappointing one for the industry in general and particularly for Real Estate Sector which was pinning great expectations on it. The only significant relief announced in the Budget for real estate, is exemption of Rs. 50,000/- for housing loans upto Rs. 35 lakhs and that too on houses costing upto Rs. 50 lakhs. This nominal relief is available to a very few and not to large section of home buyers as the cost of houses has gone beyond Rs. 50 lacs.
Another relief the Finance Minister announced in the Budget is service tax exemption for housing construction of houses less than 60 sq. mtrs. which too is inadequate and would not be available to large section of home buyers buying 2 BHK and above flats.
The announcement of 100 per cent deduction for profits to an undertaking in housing project for flats upto 30 sq. metres in four metro cities and 60 sq. metres in other cities, approved during June 2016 to March 2019 and completed in three years makes it mandatory to obtain all clearances and complete the project in 3 years. Further, the developer is liable to pay MAT also.
Further, the addition of 0.5% Krishi Kalyan Cess on all services would cause additional burden on home buyers who are already burdened with increase in local stamp duties and sector rate increases in addition to cost escalation.
None of the grievances of real estate sector for providing bank finance has been addressed in the budget and the Real Estate is made entirely dependant on high cost finances. There is also no proposal to encourage investment in real estate.

How To Wear Sheer
Lighten up with easy, breezy sheer fabric. See how Emily from Stiletto Beats wears the trend for both work and play.
Sheer has been a key trend in fashion for some time but finding new ways to wear the style is a challenge. The secret is finding see-through fabrics in weights that work for day and night.
Airy chiffon is the perfect way to wear this trend during the day. A maxi skirt or billowy blouse shows just enough skin without being too provocative. (I know what you're thinking, and yes. You can wear sheer to the office!) A great way to incorporate it into your office wear is to find pieces that feature transparent sleeves. I wore my day look to a casual lunch. I paired a navy chiffon maxi skirt with a floral top. A side braid and neutral sandals finish off the look.
Lace is synonymous with sexy, and it's a great way to add sheer to your evening look. Go for lace in dark colors like black and navy. I paired a navy lace crop top with an exposed bra and black mini skirt. Of course you don't have to be as daring with your sheer lace! Look for lace body-con dresses that feature peak-a-boo panels or even a great pencil skirt.

I finally have an example of a Rovex/Tri-ang Spacex LT-10. It’s not perfect, as it has a couple of passable, but less than accurate reproduction parts, and on top of that, a loose spaceman in the cockpit, but as these toys aren’t that common I’m more than happy to have it.
The LT – 10 (aka The Lunar Transporter) is based on the Asteroid Landing Craft, seen briefly in the 1968 film ‘The Green Slime’.
For anyone unfamiliar with ‘The Green Slime’, it’s an American/Japanese co-production between Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer who supplied the funding, and Toei, who supplied the film crew.
It stars Robert Horton, as Commander Jack Rankin, Richard Jaeckel as Commander Vince Elliot, and Luciana Paluzzi as Doctor Lisa Benson.
It was directed by Kinji Fukasaku, and, although shot in Japan, the film features no Asian actors.
Apart from the three leads, all the other cast are played by amateur or semi-professional Caucasian actors living in Japan at the time.
The story opens with the discovery of a wayward Asteroid called Flora heading directly to Earth. Commander Rankin heads to the Gamma 3 space station to lead a team and land on the Asteroid. The idea is to plant a bomb and blow Flora to smithereens before it’s too late.
Sound familiar? The 1998 film ‘Armageddon’ had a much bigger budget and the asteroid Bruce Willis had to vaporise did look convincing as a menacing world killer , rather than the giant meatball that Commander Rankin had to sort out, but once the meatball asteroid has gone, the problems are just beginning for Rankin and his Caucasian crew . Some mysterious green jelly from Flora is brought back aboard the Asteroid Landing Ship, and finds its way onto the Gamma 3 space station. Within hours the station is over- run by one-eyed electrified - tentacle waving humanoid creatures, all created from the tiny piece of alien goo.
Sounds good, eh! Wait till you hear the psychedelic theme song written by composer, Charles Fox, and sung by Richard Delvy.
In spite of its low budget, clichéd dialogue and what appears to be Japanese children dressed in monster outfits , the film has quite a cult following.
Japanese kit manufacture Midori produced three kits featuring models from The Green Slime, including the Asteroid Lander.

What is a sugar date? The term is used to refer to a seeing assignment, which usually depends on the circumstances of each party. A sugars date can be a one-time event or a regular component to a romantic relationship. It may involve a meal or perhaps a weekend holiday. It may also be one-to-one, or it may entail multiple women. In this post, we look a few of the primary elements of sweets dating.
One of the most prevalent reasons that couples separation is the fact that they feel required to agree. Men want women to get married, and ladies want to settle home with their children. Obligations generate pressure about relationships. Although a sugar date does not have such obligations. As such, the person exactly who receives the erotic mementos is only interested in herself certainly not someone else. This makes it a lot more appealing to a lady than a person.
Glucose mummies try some fine beautiful teen woman with strength. They begin to see the relationship as being a new and exciting frontier for them. These men often utilize terms PPM the original source or perhaps PPA — PayPerMeet — to make the measures and are not concerned with the person’s privacy. NO-STRINGS-ATTACHED stands for NoStringsAttached. Consequently both parties happen to be https://www.sugardaddysites.expert/ capable of talk about all their desires.

Every pottery of ASAHIYAKI named Kase, Hanshi, Geppaku glaze and Matsubai glaze is made of potter's clay in Uji liver.
Current clay was exposed anything to the weather and aged for 100 years from 50 years after digging out.
Potter’s clay of “Kase”
Unused pottery before secular change
The pottery of ASAHIYAKI is particular about “yo-hen” that changes color when fired pottery and glaze coloring. It is totally beautiful and tasteful the more you use it.
Especially the potter’s clay of ASAHIYAKI is liable to aging. Small cracks and harmonious hue show by secular change.
An unique feeling of hue gradually appears by soaking up hot water and tea, however it does not show during firing. Pottery improves with use.
It would be great if you could enjoy the secular change of pottery of Asahiyaki.

Monday's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup: Jadon Sancho, Douglas Costa, Kylian Mbappe
The summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Manchester United eye possible reinforcements.
The Red Devils brought in Bruno Fernandes and Odion Ighalo in the final days of the winter window but are still expected to be active in the summer as they aim to restore their former glories.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Old Trafford.
Monday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:
Manchester United 'on alert as Douglas Costa put up for sale by Juventus'
Manchester United have reportedly been put on alert to the potential availability of Juventus winger Douglas Costa.
The 29-year-old has been touted as a possible alternative for Jadon Sancho, who remains United's top transfer target but whose £108m asking price is deemed too high by the club's hierarchy.
Goal reports that Juventus have now lost patience with Costa due to his recent injury problems and would be open to offers for him this summer.
New Juve boss Andrea Pirlo has already undergone a significant overhaul of his squad since taking over, with Gonzalo Higuain, Miralem Pjanic, Sami Khedira and Blaise Matuidi - all of whom are over the age of 30 - being shipped out.
Costa missed a large chunk of last season through injury and will miss the beginning of the new campaign too.
The winger, who has two years left on his contract at the Allianz Stadium, remains keen to stay in Turin and prove his worth to Pirlo.
In addition to United, clubs in the UAE Pro League are also thought to be considering a move for Costa, although his injury record is causing hesitation among potential suitors.
Costa has only made 40 Serie A appearances over the past two seasons, scoring four goals and creating eight more in that time.
Kylian Mbappe 'wants to leave PSG, interested in Manchester United, Liverpool'
Kylian Mbappe has reportedly informed Paris Saint-Germain that he wants to move to another club in the future.
Due to the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic, none of European football's top clubs can currently afford a world-record bid for the France international
PSG sporting director Leonardo has acknowledged that he will look to take advantage of the situation by offering Mbappe a contract extension, tying the World Cup winner to the Ligue 1 champions past 2022.
However, according to The Times, the 21-year-old has his sights set on a transfer to a club in the Premier League or La Liga.
The report suggests that Mbappe is open to the idea of signing for Liverpool or Manchester United, while speculation regarding a potential switch to Real Madrid will not go away.
Despite the prospect of lower offers being made next summer, PSG are unlikely to agree to a sale over the coming weeks.

The point I am trying to make is, a rolling stone gathers no moss. If you are senior citizen and feel you can make a difference let us do it together. Don't wait on some social program to change the quality of your life. The people who work at these programs are really not there to help you, but are there to help themselves. Most of those social programs are government programs to create jobs for younger folks and really not seniors. In order for some these program to exist senior citizens are necessary parts of the equation.
If you have an internet connection and can send an email, let us get together and make a difference in our community. Let us network and put some energy back in our community. Start those creative juices to flow again. Come on folks rekindle those talents, forget about the woes. We got more talent and skills in the Virgin Islands than you can shake a stick at. Yes I realize the economy is in the dumps right now, and as community we are feeling it. The cost of living is outrageous, gas prices and WAPA got us by the ying yang, but we can and will prevail. Remember it is all about you! Let get together and network. It is my hope this article will encourage you to give me some feedback and positive motivation.


Blaine Alan Gibson, a 58-year old lawyer who lives in Seattle, Washington, has spent much of the past year traveling around the Indian Ocean region trying to solve the mystery what happened to Malaysian Airlines Flight 370. He’s been to the Maldives to talk to villagers who say they saw a large plane fly low overhead the day after the disappearance; visited Réunion Island to interview the local who found the flaperon from MH370; and met with Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss to discuss the ongoing seabed search. He has no professional background in aircraft accident investigation or journalism, and no professional accreditation. He is simply motivated by the desire to know what happened to the airliner. “I do not have a theory,” he emailed me last September. “I am just looking for evidence that may have been prematurely dismissed.”
Last week, Gibson found himself in Mozambique searching for debris on local beaches. On February 27, he says, he hired a boat captain to take him someplace where flotsam from the ocean tended to wash up. The captain chose a sandbar called Paluma a half-dozen miles from the coastal town of Vilankulos. They arrived at around 7 a.m., and after about 20 minutes on the flat, low stretch of sand the boat captain spotted something unusual and handed it to Gibson.
The next morning, Gibson emailed me a description of the object:
The debris appears to be made of a fiberglass composite and has aluminum honeycomb inside. NO STEP is written on one side. It appears to be from an aircraft wing … The piece is torn and broken into a triangular shape, 94 cm long at the base and 60 cm high. The remaining highlock pin has a 10 mm diameter head. The pin itself is about 12 mm long. The bolt holes are spaced about 30 mm apart from center to center of hole. The distance from the edge of the hole with the pin to the intact edge is about 8 mm. At the bottom of the intact edge there is a very thin (1 to 2 mm thick) strip of dried rubber remaining that runs about 30 mm along the edge before it was broken off. The intact edge is only 65 mm long. All the rest is broken.
In a video that Gibson posted to a closed-access Facebook page, the fragment looks quite light and insubstantial, easy enough for one man to pick up and wave around — unlike the flaperon found on Réunion, which required several people to lift. Gibson asked me to keep his find a secret, explaining, “It is too large and metallic to be easily taken out of the country, and needs to have its provenance documented. The procedure with other possible debris discoveries in La Réunion, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia has been to report it to local authorities first. Then the responsible international investigators can come to inspect.”
On Tuesday, Gibson bundled up the piece in cardboard and flew with it to Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, to turn it over to the authorities. Wednesday morning, news articles about the discovery appeared on CNN, the BBC, NBC, and elsewhere. According to these accounts, experts believe that the piece could be part of the composite skin from the horizontal stabilizer – that is, one of the miniature “wings” on either side of the tail — of a 777. And, of course, no other 777 has been lost in the Indian Ocean except for MH370.
On Wednesday afternoon, I managed to reach Gibson by phone in Maputo. He sounded tired but elated, having just gotten off a live interview on Richard Quest’s show on CNN. “I did not expect that this would all hit this early and so fast,” he said. He told me that he and the Australian consul had met earlier that day with the head of civil aviation in Mozambique, who promised that he would do the proper paperwork and then turn the piece over to the Australian Transportation Safety Board, who are overseeing the search for MH370 in the southern Indian Ocean. “It’s in very good hands,” he said.
When he first held the piece, he told me, his immediate reaction was that it was so light and thin, that it was probably from some light aircraft or small plane — “but maybe it’s from MH370.” Only when back on dry land and able to consult with other MH370 researchers did he realize that the lettering looks identical to the “NO STEP” warnings on the wings of 777s, and the alphanumerical code on the head of a rivet indicates that it’s a fastener used in the aerospace industry.
To verify that the part could indeed have floated its way naturally to the beach, he had put it in the ocean and photographed it floating “just absolutely flat as a pancake” at the surface. He was struck by the absence of marine life. “There were a few little things that looked like a little bit of algae or calcification that may have come from something that tried to attach there,” he says. “But the top surface with NO STEP on it was very smooth, and the bottom was a little rougher but still pretty smooth.”
He knows that sounds odd: after two years in the ocean, a piece of floating debris should be encrusted with growth. But having spent the last year steeped in the oddness of the case, he’s learned to expect the unexpected. “I’m open to anything,” he says. Even the timing of the discovery was eyebrow-raising: Just a few days before the second anniversary of the MH370’s disappearance.
The yearlong plunge into the case is just the latest rabbit hole for the California-bred Gibson, who is fluent in six languages. In the past he has traveled to remote Siberia to investigate the Tunguska meteor, to Central America to figure out why the Maya disappeared, and to Ethiopia in search of the Lost Ark. So he knows not only about unraveling weird mysteries, but also the skepticism that such efforts can engender. “I can tell you this about that piece: it is absolutely authentically there,” he says. “There is no way that that was planted there by any shenanigans. I rode with those guys on the boat there, and they didn’t carry anything there. It was a completely natural find. It was just freak luck or destiny, whatever you want to call it.”
This piece originally appeared on the New York magazine web site on March 3, 2016.
356 thoughts on “New York: How an American Obsessed With the MH370 Case May Have a Found a Piece of the Missing Plane”
I think what you see is a bulge where the inner skin of the panel has separated from the honeycomb. That is interesting because it indicates compression loads in that skin. Since it is a panel of the upper skin of the HS, it probably separated under loads that pushed it down.
It seems that the “full” cargo manifest is now available (might have been before but I only noticed today) :
1. Document no3 is missing…
2. If you look at the first page of document 9, Total weight in syst is 9947kg, actual weight is 10’800kg difference is 58kg!
By my calculation difference is 853kg!
Why is that?
Thinking about the failure mode a bit longer, I have to revise my last statement. If a high upward load is applied to the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer, the upper skin panel would be compressed. Due to its curvature it would tend to bend outwards, compressing the inner skin of the panel to produce the bulge seen in the photo.
Yup, I see it now. Thick in general, thin towards the flanges (fastener row and the pointy end flanges).
Still, my comment regarding the neat radii in the transition from the narrow to wide portion still stands. That is a design feature, rather than damage related (I did notice the apparent delamination, Gysbreght mentioned, but that is not, what I am referring to).
The area of concern is just below and to the left of the remaining fastener in that image. The step from thick to thin panel portion has an obvious step in the distance from the fastener line.
Looking at RussellM’s panel 1 drawing, it could be similar to the right hand side of the mid thin channel under the right “A” of the cross section indicator “A – A”. There is a vertical, followed by a slanted, followed by an again vertical section.
I don’t think the panel 1 edge matches that of the Mozambique panel, but it is not far off. The transition is shorter and doesn’t seem to have the angled portion.
Russell, can you have a look through other panel drawings to see whether they have such a channel width change over a shorter distance?
Yes, I now see what you mean. There is a step in the line of holes and in the edge of the panel. The hole with the fastener is not in line with the holes to the left of it.
Okay, closing the comments here now. Please make new comments on the newest post. Thank you!

I have to admit that I’m ready for this hot and really humid Mississippi summer to be over. Even though we are officially in the fall season, those high temps have been lingering into October.
But it seems we may have turned the corner towards lower temperatures. I even slept with the window open recently for the first time since I don’t know when. This means cool-season annuals will soon be showing up.

One of the greatest things about gardening in Georgia is the sheer number of native plants from which to choose. Georgia is one of the most botanically diverse states in the country with nearly 3000 species of trees, shrubs, grasses, flowers and ground covers native to the state. The potential for the use of native plants in the landscape is almost endless.
It is easy to understand why there are so many plants native to our state. There are mountains to the north, coastal plains to the south, the piedmont in the central part of the state and the Georgia coast. Gwinnett County is in the piedmont, a region of highly weathered soil. It offers some of the best soils in the state in which to grow plants.
A native plant community, if incorporated into the landscape and given minimal care, will be low maintenance and self sufficient over time. In many communities across our region there is a growing interest in preserving these native plant areas, often referred to as "green spaces."
Using native plants in the landscape of your home is ecologically sound and environmentally friendly. There are several types of native plants. Trees and shrubs combined create wonderful seasonal interest. The many native ferns, herbaceous flowering plants and grasses can be used in a variety of ways. They are drought, heat, insect and disease resistant, and are easy to maintain when planted properly.
The use of native plants is an important component of various environmentally friendly landscape management systems such as Xeriscaping and Integrated Pest Management. A native plant usually requires less maintenance, but it doesn't mean it needs none. It needs to be grown in an environment it is adapted to. If the plant material is adapted to shaded forests with moist organic matter, like most ferns are, then the plant will not perform well planted in a hot, sunny, dry location.
In choosing the appropriate plant material for the area, consider your own particular site and location. You may have several different plant environments in your yard. Keep the plan as simple as possible.
Choosing native plants instead of exotic plants from other parts of the world reduces the likelihood that invasive plants, such as Chinese privet and honeysuckle, will be introduced to the local environment. Do not transplant natives from woodlands unless you own the land. Go to one of Gwinnett County's many local nurseries that offer them for sale. For a list of plants native to Georgia and where to get them, visit the Georgia Native Plant Society's Web site at www.gnps.org.
