A five-month hiatus from ocean cruises gave Dario Cremona withdrawal symptoms. The 20-year-old travel agent from Switzerland usually takes eight to nine trips a year. So, naturally, he wanted to be among the first to embark on a ship when the sailing ban was lifted – even if he had to travel alone and on a cruise that didn’t really go anywhere.
Standing on the deck overlooking the small archipelago of Helgoland in the North Sea, he watched two sister ships approach to take part in a foghorn concert, while the song Grosse Freiheit (“Great Freedom”) by the German rock band Unheilig blasted in the background. It gave him goosebumps. “After the last few months, this was really emotional for me. It was a highlight and perfectly rounded off the trip,” says Cremona, who runs a blog called cruiseExperience. After just three days out at sea, the large cruise ship made its way back to the German port of Hamburg.
Voyages like these offer a glimpse into the future of cruises after they were battered by the coronavirus pandemic: to float around aimlessly. TUI Cruises was the first company to run an all-inclusive cruise to nowhere out of Germany, with stringent health and safety measures that included no port calls and shore excursions. They are the last-ditch attempt to salvage an industry devastated by Covid-19 outbreaks, mass cancellations due to continuing travel restrictions and a potential tsunami of lawsuits.
The cruise industry is worth around £115 billion per year – £10bn in the UK and Ireland alone – and supports some 1.2 million jobs worldwide, according to the Cruise Lines International Association. Customer loyalty, however, will not long sustain an industry that has rapidly expanded in recent years. Cruise lines have more than 100 new ships on order and set to be delivered through to 2027.
They are desperate to return to business and generate some income, despite the fact they are capped at less than 60 per cent passenger capacity. But the first cruises to nowhere setting sail from Germany, Norway and elsewhere face new logistical hurdles – and new coronavirus infections.
Cruise lines appear to have learned from the major Covid-19 outbreaks on ships like the Diamond Princess off Japan – which had no dedicated quarantine zones on board and crew sharing bedrooms and tables for meals. But cruises to nowhere with no port visits won’t remove all the risks of infection, particularly if there are no rigorous testing regimes in place. On two recent Arctic cruises with Hurtigruten, the Norwegian company that owns the ship, at least 41 crew members and passengers tested positive for coronavirus as of August 7.
“The preliminary examination of what happened on MS Roald Amundsen has uncovered several deviations from our procedures. That’s not good enough,” CEO Daniel Skjeldam said in a statement. This included not properly quarantining foreign crews before embarkation and letting passengers disembark without informing them of illness on board. Four of the Filipino crew members were admitted to hospital in the Norwegian city of Tromsø, where the ship is now docked, and all further cruises have been cancelled pending external investigations.
To rebuild public trust, cruise lines have tightened their safety and sanitation protocols to protect passengers and crew from future outbreaks. Passengers now check in and embark on the ships at staggered times, and have to wear face masks in elevators and when strolling through cabin halls. Thermal cameras will check passengers for a fever before they enter a restaurant or bar every day before noon. Buffets still exist, but crew members will serve and plate the food.
The electronic swipe cards used to access rooms or pay for cocktails at the bar already provided cruise lines with insight on where people congregate before coronavirus transmission becomes a concern. This system could come in handy in case of an outbreak, to quickly identify anyone who may have been in close contact with an infected individual. Cruise ships, which were well prepared to deal with norovirus outbreaks before, now carry Covid-19 tests on board.
With no stops at ports and shore excursions, cruise lines have to make sure their guests are entertained on board – be it solo travellers, couples, friends or families. Katrin Kaht and her adult daughter drove up from Berlin to hop on TUI’s first Blaue Reisen (“Blue Voyage”). Not being able to leave the ship for a few days didn’t bother them, as long as they could enjoy a sunny, long weekend by the pool. But the 50-year-old mother felt it was over the top when the crew asked mask-wearing dancers on the pool deck to sit down because of social distancing. “All acts had to play ‘smoochy music’ so that no party would take place. I was looking forward to a little party vibe instead of excursions, but it was rather boring,” she says.
In theatres, which usually house around 1,000 people, only 150 guests can listen to a concert or comedy show live while others watch them on TVs in their cabins. “The first five rows are empty and there are two empty seats between each staggered group. This is all difficult for an improv comedy act like mine, but better than not being able to perform at all,” says Ralf Ottmers, a drag artist from central Germany who has been performing on cruise ships like Auntie Valetti since 2002 and is currently working on TUI’s cruises.
Cruises to nowhere give operators an opportunity to test their operations first and gain post Covid-19 operational experiences with the crew, suppliers and ports involved, says Thomas Illes, a shipping and cruise analyst and university lecturer from Switzerland. Above all, it is also about public perception. “Cruise lines want to reinstate customer confidence and show that they are back. If they work out and there are no major outbreaks, these ‘cruises to nowhere’ can serve as best cases, which is key to ramping up the industry in the near future.” TUI plans to extend its mini-cruises to seven-day panoramic journeys along the coastal landscapes of Norway, Sweden and Finland at the end of August.
There is certainly pent-up demand from the industry’s loyal following. The Mein Schiff 2, which has capacity for nearly 2,900 (and around 1,700 under social distancing restrictions), managed to attract 1,200 passengers for its first voyage. And many guests will have been on a cruise before. TUI Cruises previously said some 40 per cent of passengers are repeat cruisers – a figure that is estimated to be 66 per cent across Carnival Corporation’s competing nine cruise lines.
However, Illes says the challenge will be to attract enough first-time cruises as – before Covid-19 hit – cruise lines were focused on creating a new and growing customer base to fill the newly-built ships they have on order. Convincing people to take a cruise despite stricter hygiene and social distancing measures may be no barrier, but it doesn’t address a wider problem: many people will simply no longer be able to afford a holiday. And if they do, they may not be willing to spend it on board a boat going in a giant circle where they would have to pay extra for alcoholic drinks, spa treatments, casino gambling and, if allowed, shore excursions.
If cruise ships can’t figure out a way to turn a profit again, they are unlikely to get a government rescue package to stop them going bust. The same business model that allowed cruise lines to avoid paying corporate taxes, benefit from cheap labour and enjoy high profit margins of up to 19 per cent in normal times (double that of some of the largest hotel chains) has now come back to bite them.
Take Mein Schiff 2, which set sail from Hamburg on July 24 for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic froze all cruises. The ship is operated by TUI Cruises, a joint venture between the British-German tourism company TUI and the world’s second largest cruise company Royal Caribbean International, but sails under the flag of Malta. This legal practice, known as “flags of convenience”, allows for a ship to be registered in a country different to the companies that own and operate it; predominantly in a place with low taxes and minimal regulation. (Some ships even “rent” the flags of landlocked Mongolia and Bolivia).
Ships sailing under a flag of convenience are not bound to the employment laws of their home countries, meaning many seafarers – who often come from cheap labour countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Russia and Ukraine – are working fixed-term service and housekeeping jobs with low salaries and poor onboard conditions. Royal Caribbean itself is headquartered in Miami, Florida but conveniently incorporated in the West African nation of Liberia.
Now these legal loopholes threaten the survival of cruise lines. “Covid-19 exposed a lot about the cruise sector that before had remained largely unknown. The lack of paying taxes, the offshore incorporations, the dangers of viral contagion and the possibility to be locked in your cabin,” says Freya Higgins-Desbiolles, a senior lecturer in tourism at the University of South Australia. Because Royal Caribbean, Carnival Corporation and other major cruise companies are registered abroad and their employees are spread across the world, they don’t receive a share in the US government’s $3 (£2.9) trillion coronavirus relief package – even though they are headquartered in Florida.
To make ends meet, cruise ships need to start going somewhere. But both Illes and Higgins-Desbiolles say week-long cruises with multiple destinations and shore visits are likely a long way off. Besides the reputational damage and multiple lawsuits from passengers and crews due to the poor handling of earlier Covid-19 outbreaks, the industry’s return to full service is also hampered by cross-border regulations. Multinational itineraries may be possible through travel bubbles such as proposed in Scandinavia and between Australia and New Zealand. But cruise lines will still have to coordinate their itineraries with numerous local hotels, tourism agencies, airlines and transport operators, catering providers and port agents.
“Covid-19 showed that communities are willing to block tourists’ access when they fear contagion,” says Higgins-Desbiolles. Cruise ship tourism was already subject to resistance in European destinations such as Venice and Barcelona, the Galapagos, and Komodo Island in Indonesia. “So with added issues of viral infection, we can anticipate many destinations won’t be happy to receive cruise ships until Covid-19 risks are better addressed.”

Class of 2017 four-star prospect Jordan Tucker is beginning to schedule official visits.
As we reported on TNIAAM back on March 24, Syracuse had visited with Tucker and the forward was planning a trip back to New York - his former home - and during that visit a trip to Syracuse was likely, a source told TNIAAM.
Tucker will take his official visit to Syracuse this weekend, he tweeted out on Wednesday. This will be his third official visit, as he’s already been to Villanova and Indiana.
Change of plans... I will be taking an official visit to Syracuse this weekend April 7-9— The Juice Man (@Therealjtucks) April 5, 2017
Villanova, Oregon, Syracuse and Georgia Tech are Tucker’s final schools. He was recently high on Indiana, but after the firing of Tom Crean the Hoosiers were eliminated from contention.
Back in December, Tucker eliminated Syracuse from his recruitment and was down to Indiana and Villanova. Oregon and Georgia Tech then began to show interest, and SU recently got back involved after Gerry McNamara and Jim Boeheim took a trip to Georgia to meet with the 6-foot-8 scorer.
He’s widely regarded as a Top 50 player in the country, and would give the Orange another scorer on next year’s roster.
Tucker is aiming for an end of April commitment date, although nothing is finalized yet.

Dave Bennion was a California winery owner. From an early period, Bennion labeled Ridge Vineyards wines by vineyard, district, appellation and varietal rather than generically. This is now the standard for New World cabernet sauvignon wines from Argentina, Australia, California, Chile, New Zealand.
Bennion started as a Stanford Research Institute (SRI) engineer who became the first winemaker of Ridge Vineyards, Cupertino, California with his Ridge co-founders, Hewitt Crane, Charles Rosen and Howard Zeidler.
Bennion made several contributions. ‘He was the first winemaker at Ridge Vineyards, making the first 1962 Montebello Cabernet Sauvignon. He made the first Ridge zinfandel in 1964, from a small nineteenth-century vineyard on the nearby Picchetti ranch. This was followed in 1966 by the first Geyserville zinfandel’, according to San Jose Mercury News. By making single-vineyard Zinfandels—Sonoma, Santa Cruz, Lodi, Paso Robles—he showed that zinfnadel can express terroir. In 1967 Dave Bennion left SRI, completely, to become the first president and winemaker of Ridge. Bennion was replaced by Paul Draper as winemaker in the 1970s and as president of Ridge in the 1980s. Bennion later died in an automobile accident on the Golden Gate Bridge. In 1976 a Napa winery would win, but Ridge placed fifth, at the Judgment of Paris cabernet sauvignon wine tasting.

As the world heats up and the Arctic takes a hammering from the increasing temperature, most people will think about the disappearing sea ice and the melting of glaciers. But there’s another ticking time bomb on a much bigger scale in the Northern Hemisphere, and that’s the thawing of permafrost.
As the permafrost warms up, it’s expected to start releasing hundreds of billions of tonnes of methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Now, researchers have for the first time modeled the economic impact this could have, and it’s not looking good. They estimate in a study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, that the increase in emissions could cause an additional $43 trillion (£27 trillion) worth of economic damage by the end of the next century.
“These results show just how much we need urgent action to slow the melting of the permafrost in order to minimize the scale of the release of greenhouse gases,” explains Dr. Chris Hope, one of the co-authors from the University of Cambridge. It’s thought that around 1,700 gigatonnes of carbon are trapped in the permafrost soils in the form of frozen plant matter. As the ground thaws, bacteria start feeding on the organic matter and begin to release that stored carbon back into the atmosphere.
To put things into perspective, the amount trapped in the tundra is around double the amount of carbon emitted by all of humanity since the Industrial Revolution. Clearly, if it were to thaw, the carbon emissions would be catastrophic. Not only that but it’s generally assumed that if the permafrost does start emitting its carbon, it will form a feedback loop. This means that as the planet warms, more of the frozen ground thaws, releasing more carbon that will further increase the global temperature, causing more ground to thaw and so on. It will also no doubt cancel out any gains made by us cutting our emissions.
“We want to use these models to help us make better decisions – linking scientific and economic models together is a way to help us do that,” explains Hope. “We need to estimate how much it will cost if we do nothing, how much it will cost if we do something, and how much we need to spend to cut back greenhouse gases.”
That economic damage is judged to be massive. The impact that an increase in flooding and extreme weather will have on the world's economy will manifest itself in the form of reduced agricultural output, damage to infrastructure and an increase in migration, amongst other things. The predicted cost of climate change was already calculated to be $326 trillion (£210 trillion) by 2200, but this new data increases this by 13% to $369 trillion (£237 trillion).
All this can be avoided, however, if we manage to keep the warming of the planet below 2°C (35.6°F), but it requires that we, as a species, take action against climate change now. This will all come to ahead as the United Nations Climate Change Conference takes place in Paris to try and form a legally binding agreement on climate between countries later this year.

DURBAN - The Labour Department has closed off some parts of the Pinetown District Education building.
The Education Department was served with a contravention notice and access to parts of the building has been prohibited.
This follows a complaint by the Public Servants Association about the building's appalling conditions.
Meanwhile, the offices are also in the dark after the eThekwini municipality cut the electricity off due to non-payment.
For almost three weeks now, officials have been required to work in the dark, through broken entrances, and in a parking lot that appears to be flooded.
The Department of Labour has now prohibited access to the ground floor and the parking lot from use.
"We have issued two notices. One being a prohibition notice and a contravention notice," said KZN department spokesperson Nhlanhla Khumalo.
"We are prohibiting access to the basement and access to the ground floor which then leads to other levels of the buildings."
The Department of Education in KwaZulu-Natal did not respond to our query when we reached out.
But the municipality has confirmed that the department has defaulted on its electricity bill and has been cut off.

These melted crayon hearts are surprisingly easy and cheap and fun to make, and look lovely dressed up with glitter card and ribbons and mounted on a stick like a big lollipop. The best thing is that kids can use the crayons and each one is unique!
I made mine in the shape of hearts, but you can find moulds in so many different shapes and sizes; stars, flowers, shells, teddies, I’ve even seen dinosaurs and letters of the alphabet! The possibilities are endless and they’d all look really cute!
You can write a message on the back of each heart if you wish, to make it even more personal or special. I made them as end of year gifts for my little students, but they’re also perfect to make for Valentine’s Day or as party tokens or party favours for a child’s birthday. They look especially pretty arranged altogether in a vase!
- Silicone mould (make sure it’s heat resistant and designed for baking!)
- Card stock in a variety of bright colours
- Glitter card or foam
- Decorative ribbons and streamers
- Wooden kebab sticks
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors and sticky tape
How to make the Melted Crayon Hearts – End of Year Gift or Party Token:
1. Break the crayons into small pieces. You can use a kitchen knife, but it’s a bit time consuming. A quicker way is to put some crayons of the same colour into a plastic freezer bag and bash them with a hammer to crush them up. You don’t need to turn them into powder, but make sure they are broken up into small enough pieces. Separate different colours into different bowls.
2. Sprinkle the bits of crayon into the mould. Get creative and play around with different colour combinations! Remember that what you put in first (i.e. what’s at the bottom of the mould) will be what you see when it’s turned out (the front of the finished crayon). Colour combinations that work well are red-orange – yellow, blue – yellow – green, blue – pink – purple, black – orange – yellow – red, but what’s most enjoyable about this craft is playing around and experimenting to see what works best. I found myself making many more hearts than I needed just because I was having so much fun experimenting and seeing how each batch turned out!
3. Once you’ve filled each well of the mould pop it in the oven. Put the oven on a fairly low heat (approx. 150 degrees) and keep a close eye on it. The crayons shouldn’t take long to melt (about 15 to 20 mins), and you don’t want them to start smoking. When you see the crayon has melted, remove the mould from the oven and use a toothpick to check the crayon has melted all the way through. If it hasn’t, lower the oven temperature a bit and put the mould back in for a couple more minutes. Leave to cool – 30 minutes should be enough – then turn them out of the mould!
4. Cut large and small hearts from coloured card stock. I’ve provided a template you can download at print directly onto A4 or letter size sheets of card, if you want to save time (see end of post for download box!)
5. Cut some circles from glitter card or foam. The circles should measure about 5-6 cm in diameter. If you want to use normal coloured card there are some circles in the template you can use to print out.
6. Stick the circle onto the large heart, and a small heart onto the circle.
7. Cut some lengths of decorative ribbon and/or streamers. Fix the ribbons and the wooden kebab stick to the back of the heart with sticky tape. If you like, you can glue another heart on the back to give a neater finish and write a message if you wish.
8. With a hot glue gun, place a blob of glue onto a crayon heart and stick it to the middle of the card.
9. And that’s it! Finished! Make as many as you need in all different colour combinations – your kids will love them!

I'd like to get excited about Jung Ho Kang's two-homer game Tuesday.
I'd like to because I was counting on him to be a top-10 shortstop at the beginning of the year, because I still haven't gotten Aledmys Diaz back and have used up all of Brad Miller's magic, because his 16 home runs in 241 at-bats project to about 37 in 550.
But even without the sore shoulder that sidelined him for much of August or his delayed start to the season because of last year's gruesome leg injury, he wasn't making it to 550. Only four times this season have the Pirates started him in four consecutive games, which gives him something in common with many of the most intriguing hitters on waivers this time of year.
They may not play enough to matter, really.
It's an exercise in futility, pursuing 21-year-old Yoan Moncada, who may only start against righties, or the resurgent Yasiel Puig, who may never start against righties. Yulieski Gurriel, who's still finding his footing in the majors and place on the diamond, is in the same boat, as is Josh Bell.
You may get lucky and land the players who bludgeons his way into everyday duty in a few days' time, which is why I wouldn't necessarily advise against adding them, but it feels like a fool's errand. For the vast majority of the season, when you have the benefit of time, you can stockpile upside and trust the at-bats to sort themselves out, but time is rapidly dwindling.
If you don't have a bench spot to play with, you need production now.
Production is not what Inciarte is lacking, his high-contact, all-fields approach making him the 27th-best hitter in Head-to-Head points since the All-Star break and a fixture in my lineups of late. He's boring, but sometimes boring is the perfect complementary piece on a championship-caliber team.
Byron Buxton is another grab-him-and-cross-your-fingers type, but in his case, the production is more in question than the playing time. Never in his many failed stints, though, has he had a six-game stretch as good as this latest one, and we all know the upside he possesses.
You can work with a part-timer a little easier in a Rotisserie league as long as he meets a specific need, such as stolen bases, but Jose Peraza may actually be in line for everyday at-bats. He's the fill-in for Billy Hamilton, who's out with an oblique injury that hasn't officially ended his season but certainly could.
The man billed as the poor man's Hamilton at the start of the year bottled up his base-stealing early on but has come around lately, collecting eight of his 26 stolen bases this season in his last nine games. The increased playing time with Lorenzo Cain out has helped, but he'll split at-bats with Paulo Orlando even when Cain returns and, again, doesn't need regular playing time to factor in the shallowest category.
Matt Boyd disappointed us last week by having his second start pushed back and lasting only four innings in his first, but he turns right around with a seven-inning gem Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing two earned runs and striking out six. He's in line for two starts again next week and will still be in line for them if that second starts gets pushed back a day.
Starting a Rockies pitcher is playing with fire, especially one who doesn't have the bat-missing ability of a Jon Gray, but what Tyler Anderson lacks in pure stuff he makes up for in pitchability. He showed it Tuesday by abandoning his changeup when it didn't have its usual movement in the thin air, which resulted in fewer strikeouts but also just two runs in 7 1/3 innings.

Elon Musk, Bridenstine Twitter battle underscores tensions between SpaceX and NASA
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is no stranger to Twitter feuds.
He's not afraid to call others out or say controversial statements like when he called the British diver involved in the rescue of the Thai soccer team trapped in a flooded cave last year a "pedo guy."
But this time, it was someone else who blasted Musk on social media. On Friday evening, NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine released a statement on Twitter expressing his frustrations with SpaceX and the company's delay to deliver a capsule capable of sending humans to space, despite the $2.6 billion NASA has given the company.
"I am looking forward to the SpaceX announcement tomorrow," Bridenstine said on Twitter, referencing Musk's announcement Saturday night of SpaceX's Starship prototype rocket — the eventual vehicle designed to carry crew and cargo to the moon and Mars. "In the meantime, Commercial Crew is years behind schedule. NASA expects to see the same level of enthusiasm focused on the investments of the American taxpayer. It's time to deliver."
During Musk's announcement on Saturday, he responded to Bridenstine's statement and said, "From a SpaceX resource standpoint, our resources are overwhelmingly on Falcon and Dragon. It was really quite a small percentage of SpaceX that did Starship. Less than 5% of the company, basically."
However, John Logsdon, a space policy expert and professor at George Washington University, told FLORIDA TODAY he believes that 5% of staff only being devoted to Starship development is "probably the best 5%."
"I think Bridenstine had every justification to be annoyed," Logsdon said. Though he's unsure if another NASA administrator has ever called out one of its contractors so publicly before, this is not the first time an administrator criticizes one of its contractors.
This also isn't the first time Bridenstine criticized SpaceX or Musk. Last November, The Washington Post reported NASA would order a safety review of Boeing and SpaceX after Musk took a hit of marijuana and drank some whiskey on the podcast, "The Joe Rogan Experience" back in September 2018.
"I will tell you that was not helpful and that did not inspire confidence, and the leaders of these organizations need to take that as an example of what to do when you lead an organization that's going to launch American astronauts," Bridenstine told reporters last November. Now, it seems Bridenstine's frustrations lie more with SpaceX's other ambitions as opposed to its CEO smoking pot on the internet.
Back in 2014, NASA awarded $2.6 billion to SpaceX and $4.2 billion to Boeing to develop a spacecraft that would send astronauts to the International Space Station from American soil for the first time since the space shuttle program retired back in 2011. Right now, NASA is forced to purchase rides, at $85 million per seat, aboard Russian-Soyuz spacecraft, the only vehicle currently capable of launching humans to space.
At the time, NASA had anticipated this feat could be accomplished by 2017. Almost three years later, both SpaceX and Boeing have been unable to still meet this goal, although SpaceX has gotten pretty close.
This past March, SpaceX had a successful uncrewed flight test of its Crew Dragon capsule, safely sending it to the space station and returning it back to Earth in one piece. But then in April, that same capsule exploded during testing, resulting in a series of delays for the company that was scheduled to launch astronauts as soon as July.
"Bridenstine wants both SpaceX and Boeing to deliver on their Commercial Crew programs and it's taken longer than NASA wanted and a lot of the reasons for that are because of the very stringent reviews that NASA is putting the companies through to make sure in NASA's mind, they are as safe as possible," commercial space policy consultant Jim Muncy told FLORIDA TODAY. "I think we want them to be safe so things sometimes take longer than they should."
Musk told CNN the plan is to fly astronauts in a Crew Dragon capsule within three to four months, but Bridenstine isn't that optimistic.
"The space agency will likely have to purchase more seats aboard Russian-made spacecraft in 2020, (Bridenstine) said, to ensure U.S. astronauts have continued access to the space station because of ongoing delays with its Commercial Crew Program," according to CNN's article.
SpaceX isn't the only one failing to deliver, though.
Boeing hasn't even had its orbital flight test but said it's "really close" to completing its uncrewed flight and pad abort test, Boeing's commercial crew program manager John Mullholland said in September at a monthly space luncheon in Cape Canaveral.
Those aren't the only ongoing setbacks with NASA's contractors, however. The space agency has been tasked with returning American astronauts to the moon by 2024, but Boeing is also far behind in the development of its Space Launch System, or SLS rocket that would launch humans to the moon, and Lockheed Martin still has to finish the environmental controls and life controls for a crewed flight of the Orion capsule — the spacecraft that would be mounted on top of SLS, according to Muncy.
In an interview with CNN Business on Saturday, Musk joked and said, "Did (Bridenstine) say Commercial Crew or SLS," about Bridenstine's original tweet, poking fun at how far behind schedule the space agency's heavy-lift rocket is.
Furthermore, the agency still does not have the appropriate spacesuit astronauts would need to venture onto the lunar surface, and the lunar-orbiting Gateway — a mini-space station around the moon where the astronauts would stay when they're not walking on the surface — is nowhere close to completion, either.
According to CNN's article, "Bridenstine told CNN Business that he recognized 'a lot of NASA contractors are behind schedule' and he wants to hold all of them accountable for delays."
But falling behind schedule isn't something new for NASA. Since the dawn of the space race, NASA has experienced setbacks, starting when the space agency lagged behind the Soviet Union for many space-related accomplishments.
In fact, all these delays and pressure from the White House to meet these deadlines has probably added to Bridenstine's frustrations, Muncy, who is the founder and and president of PoliSpace — an independent space policy consultancy — believes.
"(Starship) is cool and it's attracting attention and publicity. It will probably fly to orbit before SLS flies," Muncy said. "So it's obviously an irritation to (Bridenstine). I mean, obviously as an American, as a patriot, he's glad companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin and others are investing into space transportation capabilities, above and beyond what the government has asked for or contracted for but it's not a NASA project so he doesn't have anything really to do with it. And the things he's waiting for, Commercial Crew, he's still waiting for and until then, he's dependent upon the Russians."
Yet Muncy argues, though blame is to be shared on both sides, most of the frustration Bridenstine and the American taxpayers should feel is with NASA.
"The way NASA often takes on these big programs, and here I'm talking about SLS and the Gateway and other things that they're talking about doing, is they don't choose the fastest way to get them done. They don't use commercial partnerships most of the time." he said. "Most of the time they use cost plus development contract standard, you know, the old way of doing things and that tends to cost more and take a lot longer because you're paying the contractor for effort as opposed to paying the contractor for results."
For an agency that's trying to head back to the moon within the next five years and then deeper into the cosmos, "the old way of doing things" might not work anymore, but NASA might not have much of a choice.
"There are definitely members of Congress who like the old way and are skeptical of commercial and don't like Elon and therefore put a lot of pressure on Bridenstine saying, 'Well, where's Commercial Crew?"' Muncy said.

WATERTOWN — Final details are being worked out to build a 50,000-square-foot egg hatchery in the agribusiness park on Route 3.
Developer Michael E. Lundy said Tuesday that he’s meeting next week with the Georgia company, CWT Farms International, to finalize the construction budget and design plans for the hatchery before a tentative groundbreaking scheduled for June 15.
“A lot still has to happen, but it’s very encouraging,” he said.
Plans call for the $15 to $16 million hatchery to be built in the Thousand Islands International Agriculture and Business Park.
Last month, CWT received $1.5 million from Empire State Development , which included a $1 million grant and $500,000 Excelsior Job Program grant.
Mr. Lundy said inflation has the developer reviewing construction costs to mitigate expected increases.
For instance, diesel fuel costs for construction equipment have increased from $3 a gallon to $5 for construction projects.
Mr. Lundy said heavy equipment at a construction site could use 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel a week, costing about $2,000 more than planned.
The cost of cement and steel have also increased in recent months, he said.
Despite last-minute concerns, Jefferson County Agriculture Coordinator Jay M. Matteson said “it’s a strong assumption” that construction should begin in mid-June.
The hatchery will hire about 17 employees for the day shift and more employees who would work at night. The company could add another shift in the future.
The facility will handle a maximum of 70,000 eggs a week.
Chicks will be hatched at the facility and then primarily head to Canada for the broiler chicken market before ending up as rotisserie chickens, the kinds that are sold at grocery stores.

This topic is locked from further discussion.
Well... I have been a gamer for 20 years, but they can be unproductive. Games like World of Warcraft can (read can) take over more time of your life than is good for you. When that happens it can be a problem. But the same can be said for any other medium. The thing is though, some games try to reel you into a loop of constant play, which is where they differ from movies and even things like series, because there are only so many episodes per week/month that you can watch.
People who hate games probably view them as a 'doing it all the time'-activity instead of the more reasonable 'it's a hobby of mine'.
Then there is the violence thing, which I can't comment anything insightful on since I don't understand the issue. That's partly because most of that chatter seems to be coming from the US; the place where they think it's no problem to own guns or have a adolescent watch a guy's head explode from a point blank shotgun blast to the face, but it is a national tragedy when a kid of 12 sees someone naked or - God forbid - saw and understands sexual intercourse.
It's something I just can't understand and seems just silly to me.
I find that the majority of people don't hate them. There will always be people that don't like different aspects of culture, if they don't like it don't talk to them about it and find someone who is interested in games. I've found over the years that people that don't play games might still have played one or two games a lot in the past, and people that have never played games are still open to hearing you pine about virtues of games. It's just a waste of time talking about games to people that don't like games. It doesn't matter why, they are welcome to their opinions, just try to find some common ground on another topic or stop talking to them. Not everyone has to like the same things you do.
Because there's people out there who will hate anything. Just like there's people out there who will love anything. There is nothing that exists which people all can agree on. Least not that I know of.
Because they are toys being played by grown men.
Oh I hate that answer... Grrr...
Because of a long associated mentality perpetuated by pop culture and the media for the last 25 years or so. It'll take time, but eventually the societal consensus will come to appreciate and accept games as a normal piece of media and art to consume. It's a young medium still, that stuff takes time.
Someday, we'll be the elders that influence society. Adults and young people will have grown up loving and playing games and think nothing of them as anything else than a fun, valuable and revered medium. Games will also to continue evolving, getting better and more refined with increasing iterations, until a lot of the more egregious aspects of the industry are less prominent. Though we still have a ways to go, I think we're already starting to see the early stages of this.
I'd actually consider games MUCH more worth people's time than some of the shit people watch, buy and partake in these days.

I have always wanted to make swiss rolls, especially after my recent Japan trip. Their sponge cake and rolls with light creamy fillings really make me drool! How I wish I could replicate some of those delightful sweet treats. One common problem with making swiss rolls is rolling up a firm swiss roll and yet without any cracks on the surface or fillings escaping from the side. While browsing through recipes from fellow bloggers, I chanced upon this Orange Roll recipe from Kitchen Corner, and adapted it for my Pandan Roll.
Don't you think the above looks like Matcha and Azuki roll (Green Tea with red bean fillings)? I have some mashed purple sweet potato in the fridge (leftovers from making my Purple Ondeh Ondeh), so combining 2 parts of mashed sweet potato to 1 part of kaya (any bottled kaya), I have this special "red bean fillings".
I adapted my recipe from Kitchen Corner's blog, whose original recipe from "孟老师 - 分蛋式海绵蛋糕 " (i.e. sponge cake that uses the separated eggs method)
Tip: You need to measure the size of your baking tray to arrive at the correct amount of ingredients needed. This is to ensure that you achieve the right size for your cake roll, i.e. not too thick or thin.
孟老师的美味蛋糕卷 (36cm x 26cm = 936)
My baking tray (30cm x 20cm = 600) x 2 baking trays = 1200
1200 ÷ 936 = 1.28 (approximately 1.3)
Therefore, I multiplied all ingredients from the original recipe by 1.3 to match my baking trays.
I have shown both the original recipe proportion and my adapted recipe, for the convenience of calculating the ingredients to match any sizes of baking trays.
Original recipe proportion (My adapted recipe):
Unsalted melted butter (26g)*
Orange juice (26g)*
100g egg yolks (130g) - 130g = approximately 7 egg yolks
25g caster sugar (33g)
160g egg whites (208g) - 200g = approximately 6 egg whites
75g caster sugar (98g)
55g plain flour (72g) - I used top flour (sifted)
* I replaced with 52g of coconut milk + 1 tsp of pandan paste (mix and set aside)
1) Prepare two baking trays lined with baking paper (no need to grease).
2) Whisk the egg yolks with sugar in a double boiler until thicken and pale in color. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites with caster sugar until peak foam.
3) Fold the egg yolks into the egg whites, gently fold in the sifted flour.
4) Pour 1/4 mixture (3) into a clean bowl, add the coconut milk mixture
5) Pour into prepared baking trays and spread evenly. Bake at 190C for 10 - 12 minutes. Be careful not to over bake it (or there will be cracks during rolling).
6) Remove the sponge cake from the baking tray immediate when it is out from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
7) Get ready a sheet of baking paper. Flip the sponge onto the baking paper and peel away the backing paper from the sponge. Spread your favorite fillings on the surface and roll it up. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour before serving.
1) Here is a short video clip on how to roll up your swiss roll with fillings. This method requires rolling up the cake immediately when it's out from the oven (while it's still soft). I think this applies to cake with a drier texture. The above pandan roll recipe yields soft and moist texture, so there's no need to roll immediately when out of oven.
2) Personally, I find the pandan roll a little too moist. If you examine the proportion of flour to eggs, it seems that the amount of flour used is very little, given that I would usually used 4 eggs to about 70 - 80g of flour for chiffon cake. But again, chiffon cake has a drier texture, i.e. if I increase the flour proportion as that of a chiffon cake, cracks may form on the cake while rolling up. Maybe, I will just increase the flour to about 90g the next time when I make Swiss rolls.

The farm is a four-layer home for red wiggler worms, which will eagerly devour those unwanted food scraps and other wastes. Fill each layer with things like egg shells, newspaper strips and fruit peels and watch as the worms transform it into rich, dark soil. The bottom of the farm also houses a collection tray for “worm tea,” a nutrient-rich liquid by-product that results from the decomposition and processing of all the natural waste in the farm. This unit, when used properly, is virtually odorless and can be used indoors all year or outdoors so long as the temperature remains between 50° and 85°F. Gardeners will love this environmentally friendly and resourceful way to produce their own fertilizer right at home.

Adventure action movie Unknown 9: AWAKENing received an age rating in Singapore
More than three years ago, at Gamescom in August 2020, Reflector Entertainment announced its debut project Unknown 9: Awakening, an adventure action movie in which the players will be in the place of Haruna, a young girl from Calcutta, India with mysterious abilities. However, since the promising announcement of the game updates has not been at all, although, perhaps, the situation will change soon.
Unknown 9: AWAKENING recently received an assessment of the Singapore Classification Commission, the Office for the Development of Information Technologies. This in itself usually indicates that the launch of the game will take place in the near future, but, in addition, the launch of the Unknown 9: Awakening is scheduled for 2024, which means that we may soon hear about the game more about the game. Perhaps on The Game Awards December 7?
Description of the game that accompanies the rating also reveals some details of the plot and gameplay. It says:
“Playing from a third person, the main character will move between reality and fold, exploring various locations for promotion in the game. The gameplay includes battles and victories over enemies-loves with the help of various techniques. These include hand -to -hand combat, telekinetic shock waves and obsession, shooting, hidden attacks and undermining of explosive materials. The turret gun can also be used for shooting at approaching enemy aircraft during a game event.
Progress can be improved by restoring health and gaining glasses to acquire new skills. During the game you can encounter moderate violence. The scenes depict characters who are shocked or who disappear in puffs of smoke without blood effects when they are attacked or killed. When the main character is injured and she has little health, red flashes appear on the edges of the screen. Stronger images include a cut-scene with a character, who was hit in the chest with a knife, and blood splashes are visible “.
In addition, according to the rating, Unknown 9: AWAKENING will be released on PS5, PS4 and PC. When the game was announced in 2020, it was reported that it will be released on a PC and new generation consoles, therefore, it seems that since then plans could change.
Unknown 9 developer: Awakening Reflector Entertainment was purchased by Bandai Namco in 2020.

As a photographer you are always challenged to look and to look again and again. There are so many details that is just waiting to be discovered like the water reflections at the Merced River in Yosemite National Park. There are the trees, the fall colors the rocks in the park and they all want to grab your attention.
Go out this week-end and discover and come home with some great images!
Took a quick trip to Yosemite on Saturday for some fall colors
This was taken even before I got to the park. I stopped along Highway 140 which runs along the Merced River. I like the contrast of the many facets, from the smoothness and reflection of the water, to the ruggedness of the background rocks and of course the stark contrast between the leaves and their surroundings.

The clothing associated with the grunge style was relatively straightforward and consisted of items such as plaid shirts, slip dresses, leather boots or combat boots, leather shorts, and tiny skirts teamed with oversized t-shirts. Knit hats, bandanas, and a significant amount of silver jewelry were worn as accessories.
How do you make a flannel look distressed?
If you set fire to the flannel shirt, you will end up with charred apparel; nevertheless, the cotton will quickly disintegrate once a few days have passed. What is the most effective method for fading and distressing flannel shirts? They should be dipped in a concentrated solution of lemon juice and water. Squeeze the liquid out of them, but do not rinse them.
How do you dye a flannel shirt?
- Put two litres of water in a stockpot and bring to a boil.
- Pour 16 oz.
- The stock pot needs one cup of salt added to it
- You may submerge up to 3 pounds
- Flannel cloth should be soaked in the dye solution for a period of half an hour.
- The flannel fabric should be washed in cold, clear water for ten minutes, after which it should be dried in a conventional dryer set to a low heat setting.
How do you fade a flannel?
Washing new clothing several times helps loosen the threads within the fabric, which is the greatest technique to get new clothing to fade over time.Alternate techniques include bleaching the clothing or removing the colour by first exposing it to sunshine for an extended length of time.Baking soda, salt, lemon juice, and vinegar are some examples of all-natural items that may be used to fade clothing.
How do you dye flannel black?
The dyebath needs a half cup of salt and a teaspoon of dish soap to be added to it.The lower portion of the flannel should be submerged in the Jet Black dyebath for approximately five minutes.Maintain a very motionless position with the garment and let it absorb the color from the bottom up to get an organic appearance.Take extreme precautions to prevent the color from spreading to the other parts of the clothing.
How long does it take to bleach flannel?
We began with bleach from Clorox and flannels that we purchased for two dollars apiece from a thrift store. Simply place two identical plastic bins next to one another, then fill one with water and a little amount of bleach, and the other with simply water. Only the bottom half of the garment should be submerged in the bleach for approximately twenty minutes.
How can I make my clothes look vintage?
Making holes or tears in your garment is one of the quickest and easiest methods to give it an antique appearance. The clothing might also be treated with bleach, vinegar, or even table salt in order to achieve the desired effect of the colors fading.
How can I fade fabric without bleach?
The second option is to wash the garments in very hot water.Wash the items in hot water, particularly those made of pre-shrunk cotton textiles.The next step, if it is feasible, is to let the items dry in the sun, which will speed up the process of the colors fading.It should be done as frequently as you can.
WARNING: You should not wash any clothes that are heat sensitive, including wool, synthetic fibers, and other fabrics.
How to pull off the grunge aesthetic with an edge?
You may get the look of vintage grunge with an edge by wearing boxy vintage leather jackets, slip skirts, Doctor Martens, and ripped stockings. These are some of the mainstays from the 1990s that will help you pull off the look. Dark grunge, also known as the back grunge aesthetic, is the result of combining the gothic aesthetic with the grunge style.
What to wear for grunge street style in fall?
In order to pull off those grunge street style looks, you really must have a double rider jacket or a sleek black bomber jacket. The members of the grunge music bands added edgy black leather jackets to their clothes so that they could layer them. Denim jackets are both stylish and comfy, making them an essential component of your autumn wardrobe if you favor the grunge aesthetic.
What is soft grunge style?
The style known as ″soft grunge″ combines more feminine components, such as a checkered skirt with lighter tones and a white blouse with ruffles, with more edgy components, such as a black leather biker jacket, leggings, or thigh-high stockings. These ensembles, which are often pastel or neutral in tone, give the soft grunge look a more mellow feel.

“Abby is the quintessential acupuncturist. She is very well educated in her field but beyond that she has a natural gift for healing others. Her touch is soft and her words are wise. There is no other person that reflects her profession as suitably as Abby.” ~ BK
“I started working with Abby for acupuncture because my husband and I were trying to get pregnant and my cycle was not regular. Abby created a comfortable environment where I was able to relax but also ask a lot of questions. She spent a lot of time getting to know me, my body, my challenges and my goals. She then created a specific plan to help me become more balanced. After a few months of working with Abby we are expecting our first baby! I’ve continued to work with her during my pregnancy to help avoid nausea and other pregnancy related issues. It has been a great experience, and has helped me be more aware of my body’s needs.” ~ BM
“I was uninformed and apprehensive about acupuncture. Abby has taught me the benefits of regular treatments for a variety of conditions. I am 56 and want to improve my range of motion, stay healthy and reduce stress. Abby has helped in all three. My golf index is at a personal low. It has been over a year since my last cold. And most importantly, the ability to manage stress during my wife’s recent cancer treatment was enhanced through Abby’s sessions.” ~DRT
“Abby has made a difference in my life! I have been treated by her almost weekly for the past few months for arthritis and inflammation issues. For the first time, I really feel like it’s not controlling me. She has taken a proactive approach to my pain and I can tell the difference. She is thorough in her understanding of what my issues are, and always asks about anything else that might be going on that she should address. She is gentle, kind, discreet and I have complete confidence in her acupuncture skills. I have used acupuncture for over 20 years and had 3 practitioners during that time. Abby is the best!” ~ SEH
“My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for nearly two years. After a late first-trimester miscarriage we were devastated to have to try again. A friend suggested acupuncture and I found Abby. We built a team. My fertility doctor, my OB and Abby. Abby told me to give her three months. A week before we were supposed to have an IUI, I was pregnant. I’m holding my two month old in my arms as I write this. I’m forever grateful to Abby.” ~ CG
“My dad was in the hospital for nausea and his back and neck were hurting. I had used Abby for acupuncture and massage for myself before, so I texted her to ask for help. She was beyond lovely, she came over to the hospital and massaged my dad a few times, until they sent him home, terminally ill. He was really struggling with nausea from cancer and overall not feeling good. He looked forward to Abby coming because she was so kind and very effective. Her treatments where the only thing that made him feel better. Her compassion toward him while she came to care for him still brings tears to my eyes. Finally, she did a few treatments to help him transition peacefully. She made the toughest time of my life better by being so helpful and kind and effective in her care for my dad. I cannot recommend her more.”~ N.N
“I sought treatment from Abby for ongoing pain due to arthritis and a prior injury to my toe, wanting to avoid surgery and/or long term pain medication. The effects of her treatment were IMMEDIATE, and I am now almost completely pain free for a month between treatments. I am now able to participate in any sport without pain, which I was not able to do before seeing Abby. The treatments have changed my quality of life for the better and have now expanded to address more issues than I initially sought treatment for. Abby is the best and I wish I would have listened to my two daughters and seen an acupuncturist sooner. I have recommended her to multiple friends and will continue to do so.” ~F.G.
“Before my first treatment with Abby, my body was a mess. Having suffered for many years from a neck injury, I had also developed severe pain that radiated from my back on down my legs, making even walking slowly almost impossible. I was loaded up on muscle relaxants and painkillers. My digestive tract was messed up from all of the drugs as well. My physical therapist had given up on me, suggesting I see a surgeon. After just one acupuncture treatment with Abby, I was able to throw away the prescription drugs and manage my occasional pain issues with Ibuprofen. Over the course of the past year, I’ve been able to resume many of the activities which I love such as gardening, swimming, yoga, walking my dog, and even playing the occasional round of golf. With her help, I’ve also been able to quit taking medication for acid reflux and have been able to reduce my blood pressure medication. As you can imagine, not living with chronic pain has also improved my general outlook on life. I no longer dread traveling by airplane, afraid that my back will spasm. I’m taking on new challenges and have a much more positive outlook on life. In fact, this Spring I finally pursued a long time dream of being a beekeeper. Lifting hive boxes is physically taxing, something which I would not have even attempted a year ago. Now, life and my honey are both oh so sweet!”~ H.K.
