New Delhi: For quite some time now, reports of Vidya Balan signing a biopic on mathematiciam Shakuntala Devi have been doing the rounds. And now, adding to it, the latest buzz is says that 'Dangal' girl Sanya Malhotra has been roped in to play Vidya Balan's daughter in the film.
Mumbai Mirror quoted a source close to the development saying that Sanya has really liked the project and is keen to share the screen with Vidya. However, the actress hasn't yet signed the project. If things go as planned, Sanya will play Anupama Banerjee in the film.
The source added that the film is expected to go on floors this year.
The biopic will be directed by Anu Menon and produced by Ronnie Screwvala.
Shakuntala Devi was an Indian writer and a mental calculator, who was popularly known as the Human Computer. She wrote a number of books on mathematics, puzzles and astrology. She also holds a place in The Guinness Book of World Records.
While Sanya was last seen in Ayushmann Khurrana starrer 'Badhaai Ho', Vidya last featured in Suresh Triveni's 'Tumhari Sulu'. The national-award winner actress has 'Mission Mangal' in her kitty.

Five Googie Architecture Properties (And Nearby Available Listings) In Los Angeles
The mid-century commercial architecture style called Googie was named for the 1949 Los Angeles coffee shop bearing the same name. Originated by Frank Lloyd Wright assistant John Lautner, the Googie style is iconic for its ultra-modern, space-age look. The commercial construction craze for cantilevered roofs and eccentric curves took off nationally from coffee shop roots on the L.A. corner of Crescent Heights and Sunset, spreading an aesthetic reflecting two huge phenomena of the 1950s: the automobile and the service industry that grew along with it.
Surviving Googie buildings evoke the past while looking to a former future. Beloved by many, their proximity can make the difference for a site selection client faced with a choice among candidate properties with no comparable “face”. One thing Googie buildings do is project — after all they seem to be rocketing into that imagined future — and having one nearby can easily be a bright spot for tenants, a distinction that serves that part of commerce that numbers alone can’t quite capture.
Let’s take a look around Los Angeles for opportunities around some of these iconic Googie properties:
- Norm’s — 470 North La Cienega Boulevard, West Hollywood: This legendary 24-hour restaurant Nearby listings at CommercialSearch include a range of modern office and retail options, offices topping out at five stories.
- Johnnie’s Coffee Shop — 6101 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles: A specimen of Googie architecture that shares coffee-shop identity with the original Googie building, Johnnie’s neighbors include class A office towers with flexible footprints.
- Mel’s Diner — 14846 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks — This San Fernando Valley mainstay eatery sports a Googie neighbor in nearby Encino, the car wash at 17348 Ventura Blvd. Spires ahoy!
- Chip’s — 11908 Hawthorne Blvd., Hawthorne — 4KSF of retail offering accompanies Chip’s on Hawthorne.
- Driftwood Dairy — 10724 Lower Asuza Rd., El Monte – A wide range of retail radiates from the corner of El Monte and Lower Asuza, from barber shops to land business opportunities in Temple City.

Koei Tecmo America and developer Kou Shibusawa have today released the latest entry in the popular strategy series, Romance of The Three Kingdoms, with the latest entry being Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV. For those who don’t live their lives by sundials, that’s 14.
To celebrate the launch, Koei Tecmo has released a new launch trailer which you can watch up above. Also, if you fancy trying the game for free before putting any money on it, you can download a demo of the game, but only on PC via Steam.
Throughout RTK14, players will have a wide arsenal of strategies to deploy at will, aiding them as they scramble for land and build up their domain. A multitude of different approaches are available in RTK14, covering Domestic, Diplomacy, Territory Development, and a large assortment of different ways to battle, with each playthrough of the game feeling like an all-new experience thanks to an enhanced AI system keeping them on their toes, not to mention, the selection of over 1,000 officers, each with their own traits and characteristics.
Those ready to jump into the action can purchase Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV starting today on PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam. Purchasing any version of the game within the first 2 weeks of launch will offer a free download for the additional scenarios ‘Battle of Yiling’ and ‘The Start of Change’.
In RTK14, players will experience the pivotal Three Kingdoms period of Ancient China, allowing them to make their mark on history as they set out to conquer China and unify the Three Kingdoms. The tale of the Three Kingdoms era is depicted through seven challenging scenarios, including the chaotic war that signalled the opening of the times (the Yellow Turban Rebellion), the fight for dominance between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao (the Battle of Guandu), and the beginning of Zhuge Liang’s northern campaign (Chu Shi Biao). These events will give gamers the opportunity to enjoy the rich stories from this time period through many event scenes, triggered through fulfilling certain conditions in battle. The latest entry in the series also adopts the popular ruler-based system from fan-favorite entries, RTK9 and RTK11, in order to help return classic gameplay to the series — meaning that all actions take place on a single map as players attempt to spread their strategies at will across the vast land of China.

Hot Fuzz may be the best movie ever. It’s certainly my favorite film of all time.
So I decided to make a video about why I think it’s so great.
Hot Fuzz is directed by Edgar Wright and stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Timothy Dalton, Jim Broadbent, and a bevy of British character actors. It’s a really funny comedy, but it is also an amazing action movie.
This is a video essay adaptation of my Hot Fuzz – The Best Movie post.

Southern dishes, how do I love thee? Well, with this sweet ‘n savory dish, it’s two things: healthy and cheap. This soup follows my two main new year’s resolutions, eat healthier and do so more inexpensively.
You look at these sweet legumes and can’t but fall in love with the dual-toned skin and soft texture.
You can feel good about eating these veggies and getting a healthy does of vegetarian protein in. I think all the flavors meld well into a slightly sweet, yet savory dish – without the traditional addition of bacon.
Can’t wait to make this again! You can check out my recipe on Wheat-Free Wednesday, too.
1. Start by warming up the 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a big saucepan or cast-iron skillet. Once fragrant, toss in the diced onion and minced garlic. Lightly sauté for 3 minutes; if they go dry, add in water (I added about 1/4 cup).
2. Add the vegetable stock, beans, carrots, celery, parsley, bay leaf, and spices. Stir to mix evenly. Turn up heat and bring to a simmer; cook for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are nicely tender. Stir in the remaining 2 tsp of olive oil, and remove the bay leaf lest your kid tries to eat it.
3. Here’s the trick to good soup: let it sit overnight so the flavors meld. If you’re looking to eat this tonight, let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Before eating it, gently reheat the soup on the stove and serve with fresh cornbread. Hope you enjoy, and happy new year, y’all!

Navigating a foreign country as a vegetarian can be intimidating. Japan is no exception, with its cuisine being heavy in meats and fish, and vegetarianism and veganism being less popular than in the West. However, with some preparation and the proper resources, you will find delicious plant-based options without too much of a struggle. As a vegetarian, Japan is one of my favorite destinations for food travel! You just need to know how to find options and come prepared. My top advice is to map out lots of options in advance along your travel route. That way, you can easily choose a delicious and convenient option whenever and wherever you get hungry. Keep reading for my top tips on how to not only survive but thrive as a vegetarian (or vegan) in Japan.
I’m vegetarian, so this guide is mostly focused on vegetarianism in Japan. However, a lot of these tips work for vegans too! You will also find that a lot of vegetarian options ARE vegan.
Don’t know how or where to start planning your Japan itinerary? Check out my ultimate Japan guide and 2-week itinerary!
Tips for being vegetarian in Japan
- Print a dietary restriction card from Just Hungry for an easy way to communicate your exact dietary restrictions with restaurant workers. There are lots of options for a range of different dietary restrictions.
- Understand what “dashi” is and decide whether or not you are okay with eating it. Dashi is a soup stock made with fish-based ingredients, and it is in just about every savory dish in Japanese cuisine. If you decide to consume dashi, it will make your culinary experience in Japan a lot less limited. If you decide to not consume it, be thorough when checking dishes for its use (many Japanese people will assume vegetarians CAN eat dashi). The aforementioned dietary restriction cards can help clarify one way or another, as there is a card for both including and excluding dashi in your diet.
- Base your trip in major cities, such as Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. While you don’t need to (and shouldn’t!) exclusively stay in these areas, they are significantly easier to navigate with dietary restrictions. There are constantly expanding options with a wide array of veggie-fied Japanese cuisine. I encourage you to branch out from these cities as you will be able to find options that work for you in smaller towns, but for ease and convenience, spending at least a portion of your trip in these cities will relieve some of the burden.
- Don’t underestimate 7/11! This will be the best convenience store food you’ve ever had. There are always plenty of veggie options, from snacks to meals, and it’s all very affordable. The few times I found myself in a pinch and couldn’t find a suitable veggie-friendly restaurant around, the nearest 7/11 was my best friend.
- Enjoy Zen Buddhist temple cuisine, known as shojin ryori. These multi-dish meals are healthy, delicious, and vegan. You can find shojin ryori in lots of temples, but you can also find it offered in traditional restaurants. While they can be expensive, I recommend you try it at least once!
- Know what Japanese foods are likely to be vegetarian or come in a vegetarian option. According to this article by byFood, these include:
- Vegetable tempura – deep fried vegetables
- Shojin ryori – Zen Buddhist temple cuisine, mentioned above
- Nasu dengaku – grilled eggplant
- Zaru soba – cold buckwheat noodles
- Vegetarian sushi – look for kappa maki (cucumber rolls), takuan maki (pickled daikon rolls) and inarizushi (rice stuffed inside deep-fried tofu pockets)
- Vegetarian onigiri – rice balls
- Vegetarian ramen
- Vegetarian udon – chewy, thick wheat noodles
- Vegetable gyoza – dumplings
- Vegetarian okonomiyaki – savory pancake typically made with flour, eggs, and cabbage
- Vegetarian donburi – rice bowl
- Know what apps to download to optimize your search for the most and best options! Keep reading for my app suggestions.
Apps to download for vegetarians in Japan
Google Maps (free)
Google Maps is an absolutely essential app to use in Japan. Not only is the navigation extremely reliable for getting around using public transportation, but Google Maps will be your best friend for searching and mapping out veggie options. Once you know your travel route in Japan, do a preliminary Google Search for “vegetarian (or vegan) restaurants in ____.” Create a saved list on Google Maps where you can save these suggestions for easy, location-based access during your travels.
Another great way to use Google Maps to your advantage is to simply search “vegetarian” or “vegan” in the search bar on the app, with the location set to the area you want to search. This will pull up any restaurants that mention these keywords in the reviews, which allows you to discover some hidden gems that the rest of the internet might not know about yet. For an even more thorough search, you can copy and paste the Kanji for “vegetarian” in the search bar: “ベジタリアン”.
HappyCow is my all-time favorite app for finding veggie-friendly restaurants worldwide throughout my travels. However, it was especially helpful in Japan, where finding vegetarian options is a little more difficult than in other parts of the world. It uses your current location to pull up a map of vegetarian and vegan options nearby. It’s color-coded to distinguish between restaurants that are vegan, vegetarian, and offer vegan options. You’ll find reviews and photos from other plant-based visitors, allowing you to choose the best of the best options. It’s currently $3.99 on the App Store, but it is worth much more for how much trouble it will save you!
Google Translate (free)
Did you know that less than 30% of Japanese people speak any English at all? You’re going to need a good translation app, and I recommend Google Translate because it allows you to translate both sides of a spoken conversation in real time. You can also take a picture of anything (like a menu) and it will translate the entire page. If you find yourself in a restaurant with a menu fully in Japanese and staff with no English knowledge (which WILL happen!), Google Translate will get you by.
Airalo (free, cost varies for eSIMs)
To use all these apps on the go and find vegetarian options no matter when or where, you’re going to need a data plan! My favorite option for accessing the Internet across the world is the Airalo eSIM. An eSIM doesn’t need to be physically put in and taken out; it’s simply installed onto your phone and connects to Internet anywhere in the world as soon as you land. Instead of wasting time looking for a local plastic SIM, you can activate the eSIM immediately after installation or upon arrival in Japan. This is the easiest and most convenient option, and it’s reliable. I’ve used Airalo all over the world and I’m always a happy customer. Plus, if you are continuing your travels after Japan, you can get a regional Asia eSIM that works in 14 countries.
Keep in mind that eSIMs only provide data service for connecting to the Internet, not calling and texting plans. If you need to make calls or send texts abroad, then you can pick up a physical SIM card at the airport upon arrival by pre-ordering here.
My favorite restaurants for vegetarians in Japan
Tokyo vegetarian restaurants
Himawari Sushi Shintoshin – conveyor belt sushi, Shinjuku
A visit to Japan isn’t complete without a meal at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. You watch all the sushi and side dishes circle in front of you, grabbing whatever looks appealing. You can also order directly with the chefs if you want something that is not currently circling on the belt. Although not all sushi restaurants will offer vegetarian or vegan options, being vegetarian in Japan doesn’t have to stop you from enjoying it! Himawari Sushi Shintoshin offers multiple marked vegetarian options on the menu, and will make special requests off-menu. We had to order these instead of grabbing them off of the belt, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Make sure to grab some freshly steamed edamame off the belt – you’ll want more than one bowl!
Zen – okonomiyaki, Shinjuku
Before I went to Japan, I had never heard of okonomiyaki. This delicious cabbage pancake became my favorite Japanese food by the time my trip was over. Zen offers both vegetarian and non-vegetarian okonomiyaki options, in both the traditional and Hiroshima styles (“hiroshimayaki” is made with thinner batter and yakisoba noodles). For a hearty, filling meal for meat eaters and non-meat eaters alike, head to Zen. It’s right next to the Golden Gai, so follow up your meal with a delicious cocktail in one of the iconic tiny bars.
T’s TanTan – vegan ramen, multiple locations
For creamy, nutty, rich, vegan ramen, head to one of T’s TanTan’s locations and order the Golden Sesame Ramen. It’s absolutely delicious and so satisfying. I also recommend ordering a side of the vegan gyoza. They have other delicious flavors of ramen if the Golden Sesame doesn’t sound like it will hit the spot. These locations usually have a wait, so I recommend either showing up at non-peak eating times or preparing to wait.
Kyushu Jangara – ramen, multiple locations
Kyushu Jangara offers both a vegan and a vegetarian soy sauce ramen. This style of ramen is very different than the sesame ramen offered at T’s TanTan, so I recommend you try both. It comes with vegan char-siu, a delicious vegan substitute for the typical roast meat. This is also a very popular restaurant, so plan to wait a while if you don’t time it well. Unlike T’s TanTan, this is not a fully vegan restaurant, so there are satisfying options for meat eaters as well.
Kyoto vegetarian restaurants
Gyoza ChaoChao – gyoza, multiple locations
For a wide selection of vegan and vegetarian gyoza, head to Gyozo ChaoChao. They have an entirely separate menu with both vegan and vegetarian options clearly marked. The staff spoke good English and were extremely friendly, making our overall experience very enjoyable for both vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Don’t miss out on ordering the chocolate gyoza for dessert!
Mimikou – udon, Higashiyama Ward
Mimikou is known for its curry udon and has a separate menu with clearly marked options for vegans and vegetarians. The veggie menu offers a few options for curry rice and curry udon. I recommend you try the curry udon as it’s famous, and I couldn’t find another vegetarian curry udon during the rest of my travels! Its rich and unique flavor is something you don’t want to miss out on.
Pelgag – Western with many vegan options, Nakagyo Ward
I don’t usually deviate from eating the local cuisine when I’m traveling, but I’m so glad that I did for Pelgag. Their take on Western food, from Egyptian spicy noodles to a Moroccan vegetable plate, will not disappoint. Many options on the menu are vegan, with even more being vegetarian. The restaurant was adorable and the presentation was beautiful. Sometimes you will need a break from constantly eating Japanese food, and you won’t be disappointed here.
Osaka vegetarian restaurants
OKO – vegan & vegetarian okonomiyaki, Chuo
For fully customizable vegan and vegetarian okonomiyaki, head to OKO! This was one of my favorite culinary experiences in all of Japan, and it really is an experience. You get to build your own okonomiyaki with your choice of toppings, and all alcohol is self-serve (and so cheap!) at a cute bar in the corner. The restaurant is decorated brightly and uniquely, making it such a lively and cute place. This is a must for any vegetarian or vegan in Osaka!
A Happy Pancake – Japanese-style souffle pancakes, multiple locations
At least once while you’re in Japan, you must try the Japanese-style soufflé pancakes. These are much lighter and fluffier than typical pancakes because they’re made by whipping lots of egg whites (so unfortunately, there is no vegan option). A Happy Pancake is a great place to try them because of their wide variety of flavors on the menu, from chocolate to fruits to a mixture of both.
Himeji vegetarian restaurants
Sakurasaku – set meals, Himeji
If you take a day trip to Himeji Castle (something I really recommend, read more about it in my Japan ultimate guide and itinerary), you absolutely must stop at Sakurasaku. This small, family-run cafe has a delicious traditional set meal for a good price. There are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free sets available, along with a couple of meat options for meat eaters. Our set came with delicious sides in a bento box-style meal, and we even got a piece of strawberry chiffon cake to top it all off. The owner is a lovely woman who asked us all about our family. Don’t miss out on this traditional meal experience.
Hiroshima vegetarian restaurants
Nagataya – Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, Naka Ward
An okonomiyaki recommendation again? Seriously, you will fall in love with this dish. By the time you reach Hiroshima, you will need to try Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, also known as “Hiroshimayaki”. Hiroshimayaki is made with a thinner batter than the traditional version, and they include yakisoba noodles inside. I actually came to prefer it over the traditional version, although I love both! Nagataya is a very famous place to try it, with multiple vegan and vegetarian options to choose from on a separate menu. There is always a wait, but it will be very worth it.
Wildman Bagel – bagels, Naka Ward
I never thought I would be recommending a bagel place in Japan, but I found some of the best bagels I’ve ever had. Right next to the Peace Park and Museum, this little bagel joint serves unique bagel flavors that will start your day on the right foot. We got our bagels to go and I almost made everyone go back to get more once we tried them! Get a few flavors to try, and the pastries are great as well.
What sounds good to you? Save these suggestions, along with any other options you find using these resources, to your Google Maps now so you can easily pull them up during your trip! Now you have all the information you need to be properly prepared to fully enjoy Japan as a vegetarian, without too much extra effort. You’re going to find that being vegetarian in Japan is a delicious, satisfying, and healthy experience.

People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do.
CAT HYBRID C9.3 engine
Energy efficiency and pollution: for the new T85, the installation of the CAT HYBRID C9.3 engine on board will be offered as an option.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY and POLLUTION: for the new T85, the installation of the CAT HYBRID C9.3 engine on board will be offered as an option. From the technical point of view, the marine Diesel engine has a double clutch system for inverter-motor transmission (commercial standard) or motor-generator-inverter.
Its specialty lies in the fact that the generator is integrated in the motor-inverter system and thus the engine normally produces electrical energy that is stored in a specially prepared lithium battery pack. The energy stored can be reused to actuate the GE itself that serves, at this point, as an engine to transmit power directly to the reducer, thus resulting in propulsion. The advantage is that of not having a dedicated transmission with an electric engine but to exploit the normal power transmission, both in the conventional way (with diesel engine) as well as with electrical energy. This results in considerable savings both in terms of cost and useful space.
There is also the possibility of using electricity provided by GE to charge the battery pack directly and later re-use it to enable propulsion using only the electric engine, installed on the diesel engine. The main benefit of this technical solution is the ability to navigate in protected areas (parks, protected areas) where navigation using fuel/diesel propulsion is currently prohibited. In addition, in case of emergency or failure of the diesel engine, it is possible to navigate just using the electric propulsion system and the GE/electric engine system.
In terms of cruising range, it all depends on the number of lithium batteries that are installed on board. In general, with this CAT HYBRID C9.3 engine, up to 4 hours of cruising range are expected just using the energy stored by the batteries. Last but not least, we would like to underline the possibility of using the electrical energy stored in the battery pack even when using normal on-board utilities (air conditioning, instrumentation, home appliances, audio-video etc.) without having to start engines and/or generators. During this phase of preliminary study, indicative data has been obtained with regard to performance that can be achieved by using just electric propulsion. The calculations predict an estimated speed of 5/6 kN, using the electric engine in “continuous mode”, with a propeller power of 20kW (assuming a half-load boat).
This new type of engines, like all the latest generation ones, can be enhanced with the installation of the particulate filter when the diesel version is used. This ensures that the unburned particles produced by the diesel engines and generators do not spread to the environment and water. The filter is mounted directly on the exhaust (before the muffler) and this also reduces noise and provides a remedy for all unpleasant inconveniences linked to exhaust gases.

We crossed the bridge over the stream, and started to ascend. Within a couple of minutes, I was already feeling it: I was breathing hard, I had a stitch, and was hot. I pounded away, in fornt of the others, until after 5 minutes, someone behind me said,
�Slow down a bit!�
I looked behind me, and was surprised to see how far ahead I was of the group. I sat down and waited. In seven minutes, I�d already ascended 200 metres.
�What are you trying to do? Win a marathon?� asked Richard. �Slow down and take it easy: your pace should mean that you can have a conversation without being out of breath.�
So I slowed down, and found the climb fairly easy. The weather was occasionally showery and windy, but by and large the conditions were quite good. There were other walkers on the mountain, some just for the day, others teams doing the three peaks like ourselves. One group stood out: a bunch of Yorkshire Asian lads, who I saw on all three peaks, either following us, or ahead of us, or coming down as we were ascending. Why did they stand out? Well, for a start they were the only Asians I saw the whole weekend, which got me thinking about why that should be � is the countryside so unwelcoming to coloured people, and if so, why? The second thing was that they had shaved heads and thick beards, indicating they were probably quite conservative muslims. The uncomfortable image of the July seventh bombers came to mind, training for their murder mission in Afghanistan. Now, I know that�s a horrid and unfair thought, but it still leapt into my mind � those four 7/7 wankers had tainted the imagination, so that any young, bearded, Muslim Asian was somehow likely to be a bomber. These guys were doing the same as us, probably for similar reasons. It is so easy to make assumptions based upon what we see, and then assume those assumptions are true. It�s how prejudice and ignorance thrive.
We made our way up, past the stream and on to a broad, flat path, which briefly made the walk more like a stroll in a park rather than on the side of a mountain. Gradually, our team split into two groups, with the smaller, slower group consisting of Julie, Chris and Richard (shepherding them), and Glenn. After an hour and a half, we reached the beginning of the scree and boulder line, and had a fantastic view over the valley and towards the Great Glen. A further hour and a half, and we reached the summit: cold, windy and rocky. Rob had been up a couple of weeks previously, and it had been covered in snow; now, there was only the odd pocket. The path wound between marker cairns, coming close to one of the gulleys that drop a thousand feet and claim the unwary in winter. I looked down one: there was a little snow, then a chasm with cloud wisping upwards. We headed for the ruined observatory and the trig point, touched it and took photos, then had a brief rest. I got out a small hipflask of whisky, filled a cup, and, standing on the trig point, drank a toast to my Grandpa, who was born in Fort William.
�Angus Alistair MacGregor Grey Wylie! Slainte Mhath!�
After the toil of getting up, that whisky tasted bloody good.
We shook down our gear, and made our way back off the mountain. By the halfway point, Rob and I were ahead of the others by several minutes, and my legs, in particular my knees, were aching. I began to wonder how on earth I would be able to cope with Scafell and Snowdon. The hard, stony path juddered my legs, and more than once I was glad I had my pair of Leki walking poles.
Rob and I crossed the bridge back to the waiting vans at twenty to eight � four hours and fifty minutes after setting out, not a bad time. The others weren�t long after us. We had something to eat and drink, resorted our equipment and filled bottles and camelbacks, than set off again. I was with Rob, Victoria and Brian, and we roared off ahead of the others. We took the route through Glencoe, and as we passed under the high, green, melancholy and menacing slopes, it began to rain. The further south we passed, the more the rain intensified and the wind increased. We came up to Glasgow by around ten, but we missed our turning onto the bridge that led to the motorway, and so we had to go through the city centre to join the motorway there. It was strangely deserted: only a few cars passed here and there, and I saw only a handful of people on the bleak, wet streets.
Once back on the motorway, the rain, which had lessened for a while, increased once more and the wind really picked up until it was a howling gale, hurling sheet after sheet of water at our vehicle and rocking it from side to side. Any idea I might have had of trying to sleep went out of the window. In fact, I was too hyped up to doze, and knew that it would affect me later on. We stopped briefly at the Gretna Services, a strange and deserted place at 1 in the morning. Crossing back into England, I noticed how the sign telling you that you were in England was many times bigger than the same sign telling you that you�d entered Scotland.
We drove on towards, then through, Carlisle, again a strangely empty town under the flail of wind and rain. Soon, we were driving down little country roads towards Wasdale Head, and our next destination � Scafell. At 2.20, we arrived. One of the vans was there � the one carrying Richard, Julie, Chris and Gordon. But where was the other? And where were Richard, Julie and Gordon? Chris was in the van: he had given up the challenge because of a strained muscle. The driver, Edward, said,
�They went on up about ten minutes ago�.
Went on up where? It was pitch black, the wind was howling, and a hard rain was coming down. Neither me, nor Rob or Brian, had ever climbed Scafell before. I wasn�t even sure in which direction it lay. But Brian said,
�let�s go this way�, and plunged into the dark. Rob followed him. I tried to call after them,
�let�s wait till the other van comes, then go up together�but they were already out of earshot. I was left to decide: should I stay or should I go?

I have a soft spot for Boulevard Brewing Company - I lived in Kansas City for two years. (Also, they're a phenomenal brewery.) They don't distribute much to the East Coast, so whenever I see some in the store I snap it up. The Mid-Coast IPA is one of Boulevard's "tasting room" beers, which they recently started selling as part of samplers. The sampler I purchased had the Unfiltered Wheat, 80 Acre (mildly-hopped wheat), Westside Rye, and Mid-Coast IPA. The IPA is likely the best of the bunch, and one of the best beers I've had from the brewery behind Tank 7 and Grainstorm.
Mid-Coast is my favorite kind of IPA: very well-hopped but not too boozy. A lot of strong American IPAs go overboard on the alcohol, up to 9-12%. Not only do I feel like taking a nap after drinking those, they have a hard time tasting balanced. Mid-Coast, by contrast, is well-hopped at just over 100 IBUs, but is under 6% ABV. I feel like I can drink a glass rather than just sip it. It's also not overwhelmingly bitter, even with 100+ IBUs. The hops are slightly floral and round out the beer rather than simply making it bitter. One of the better IPAs I've drunk.

When Congress returns to session on Monday, April 16, 2012, we will recognize an important anniversary and holiday here in Washington. That day will be the 150th anniversary of District of Columbia Emancipation Day. Nine months before President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in January 1963, the President signed the District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act. The act ordered the release of the 3,100 enslaved persons of African descent held in the nation’s capital. District of Columbia residents were therefore known as the “First Freed” slaves by the federal government during the Civil War.
In 1865 the Confederacy surrendered and the Civil War ended, and later that year the 13th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified, which states that: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
Emancipation Day celebrations were held annually in the District of Columbia from 1866 through 1901, and resumed in 2002. In 2005 Emancipation Day was made an official public holiday in the District of Columbia.
On March 6, 2012, the District of Columbia City Council adopted ceremonial resolution 19-207. The resolution finds this anniversary to be “an important, historic occasion for the District of Columbia and the nation and serves as an appropriate time to reflect on how far the District of Columbia and the United States have progressed since institutionalized enslavement of people of African descent. Most importantly, the 150th anniversary reminds us to reaffirm our commitment to forge a more just and united country that truly reflects the ideas of its founders and instills in its people a broad sense of duty to be responsible and conscientious stewards of freedom and democracy.” I ask unanimous consent to place a copy of this resolution in the Record.
In the recent past, we have been blessed to celebrate numerous historic achievements for African-Americans in Washington, DC and throughout the nation, including the election of the first African-American President of the United States, the dedication of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, and the groundbreaking for the National Museum of African American History and Culture. I congratulate the District of Columbia government and its residents on this historic anniversary.

Hospital Patient Service Cuts Are Hard To Defend, Says Nuffield Trust Report
Cuts in patient services are difficult to rationalise when there are many ways hospitals could improve their efficiency, a major new evaluation prepared for the Nuffield Trust by Jeremy Hurst and Sally Williams has concluded.
While inefficiencies in areas such as rates of day case surgery, length of stay and the purchasing of hospital supplies still have not been tackled, it is hard to justify such cutbacks, commented Dr Judith Smith, Nuffield Trust’s Head of Policy.
The report, Can NHS hospitals do more with less?, is the work of independent researchers commissioned by the Nuffield Trust as part of a two-year programme of research that aims to provide further evidence of how government policies and the activities of commissioners and providers can maintain and improve care at a time of severe financial constraint.
“The main questions raised by this study are why, when so much is known about what drives and can improve hospital efficiency, has hospital productivity deteriorated across the board in recent years and so much variation persists across – and sometimes within – hospitals,” says Dr Judith Smith.
The reasons are probably numerous, she suggests. For example, in some regions they will include: – the previous emphasis on growing capacity during a period of plenty; – a lack of data and the capacity to analyse this at a very detailed operational level; – conflicting incentives faced by the organisation; – a lack of involvement of doctors and other clinical staff in determining and implanting programmes to improve efficiency; and – insufficient priority given by managers to the tough business of changing long-standing working practices in hospital.
Based on the verdicts of the report, and an accompanying policy analysis by the Nuffield Trust, it recommends that:
– Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) should create, with local providers, clear goals in respect of day surgery rates and length of stay. At a national level, the NHS Commissioning Board should examine whether the next Outcomes Framework could be used to encourage commissioners to make a priority of this, building on the avoidable hospitalisation indicators for patients with long-term conditions;
– The NHS Commissioning Board should strongly encourage clinical commissioning groups to make the most of new technologies and guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), particularly those near optimal practice, “do not do” recommendations and cost-savings technologies. This should be followed up with a national system of publicly monitoring clinical and administrative practice variation, by CCG area, says the Trust;
– When savings have to be made in staff costs, senior managers and clinicians should – rather than opting for vacancy freezes – test the benefits of a higher ratio of qualified and senior staff, albeit with smaller numbers overall. This could be a powerful way of mitigating overall reductions in staff numbers, while increasing productivity and improving patient care, it suggests;
– Hospital boards should proceed carefully when exploring organisational mergers, as these do not inevitably lead to efficiency savings unless beds and services are closed, and diseconomies of scale can emerge in organisations above 600 beds;
– Ways need to be found to go beyond the crude measures of NHS productivity, with more effort made to develop objective measures of quality and to identify where efforts have successfully reduced avoidable hospital admissions for patients, rather than just increased activity in hospitals.
The researchers’ conclusions suggest the need for a concerted programme of efficiency initiatives across NHS hospitals as a whole, says the Trust, which stresses that, while the financial challenge facing the NHS will concentrate minds, “much more needs to be done.”

DAVOS, Switzerland - "My investment in Channel 10 is marginal. It is for friendship, not business," media tycoon Rupert Murdoch told TheMarker at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Murdoch, the controlling shareholder in media giant News Corp, is a junior partner in Channel 10 through Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan's firm New Regency.
With Australian billionaire James Packer, Murdoch owns 40% of New Regency.
Six months ago, Channel 10 announced that News Corp was buying a 9% stake in it. The press release accompanying the deal quoted Murdoch as saying the Israeli acquisition served News Corp.'s aim of expanding its business throughout Europe and the entire region.
However, in Davos on Friday, Murdoch said frankly that the investment stemmed mostly from social motives.
Asked by TheMarker if he meant his friendship with former Israeli billionaire Arnon Milchan, Mudoch answered in the affirmative.
Murdoch participated Friday morning in a session titled "Who is shaping the agenda" about the impact of Internet and new technology on media, democracy and the business world. Murdoch said that media conglomerates are losing influence amid the continued explosion of news Web sites, blogs and podcasts.
News Corp owns some of the world's largest television and news businesses. In the past year, the conglomerate has made major investments in Internet, after buying the online social network MySpace for $530 million.
The impressively timed deal hit the headlines just before social networking itself became the talk of the town. Analysts now value My Space at anywhere between $5 billion and $10 billion.
Murdoch was restrained in talking about MySpace and its possible impact on youth. "People like the site, they find friends and common interests there," he said. "That seems to be why two million new users join exch week."

Serum and follicular fluid concentrations of polybrominated diphenyl ethers and in-vitro fertilization outcome

CitationJohnson, Paula I., Larisa Altshul, Daniel W. Cramer, Stacey A. Missmer, Russ Hauser, and John D. Meeker. 2012. “Serum and Follicular Fluid Concentrations of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers and in-Vitro Fertilization Outcome.” Environment International 45 (September): 9–14. doi:10.1016/j.envint.2012.04.004.
AbstractThere is evidence of endocrine disruption and reproductive effects in animals following exposure to certain PBDEs, but human studies are limited. The goal of this study was to investigate the use of serum and follicular fluid as biomarkers of exposure to PBDEs and to explore whether a relationship between PBDE exposure and early pregnancy loss exists. We measured 8 PBDE congeners in archived serum and ovarian follicular fluid samples from 65 women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Logistic regression models were used to predict the odds of failed embryo implantation associated with higher levels of PBDEs among the women in the study. There were moderate Kendall’s Tau-beta correlations between serum and follicular fluid concentrations of BDE 28, 47, 100 and 154 (Tβ =0.29–0.38, all p-values<0.005), but BDE 99 and 153 were not correlated between the two matrices (Tβ<0.2, p-values>0.05). Women with detectable concentrations of BDE 153 (39% had detectable levels) in follicular fluid had elevated odds of failed implantation compared with women who had non-detectable concentrations (adjusted OR=10.0; 95%CI: 1.9 to 52; p=0.006; adjusted by age and body mass index). These findings suggest that exposure to BDE 153 may be associated with failed embryo implantation. Due to our observation of only moderate correlations between matrices, serum PBDE concentrations may not be a good indicator of follicular fluid concentrations when studying early pregnancy endpoints in women undergoing IVF.

Mr Thomas will give the address at the conference reception at the Cliff Hotel, Gwbert on Sea, Ceredigion for almost 100 delegates. The APT facilitates the work of building preservation trusts in Wales and the wider UK in restoring and preserving neglected historic buildings and facilitating community-led regeneration. This year’s conference is hosted by Cytal-APT, the Welsh branch of the Association. The theme of the conference, entitled ‘Risky Business’, centres around minimising, managing and taking risks in the development of such projects.
Rhodri Glyn Thomas AM said
I was delighted to accept this invitation from the UK APT to speak at its annual national conference. The Association does important work in supporting and facilitating the rescue and repair of historic buildings in Wales and the wider UK and particularly, the work done here in Wales by Cytal-APT’s Welsh development officer is invaluable. The theme of the conference is a timely reminder of the risks that all building preservation trusts face in the development of their projects and this event will stimulate discussion around these issues and provide an opportunity for trusts to find solutions to their individual problems.
Peter White, Chairman of Cytal-APT, said
Cytal-APT is pleased to be hosting this year’s UK APT conference here in Wales. The delegates have had an opportunity to visit the castle and the town which hopefully gave good glimpse of Welsh historic buildings and significance to this small town. Cardigan is a good example of regeneration through historic building conservation under the Townscape Heritage Initiative.
Notes to Editors:
• Cadw is the Welsh Assembly Government's historic environment service. Its aim is to promote the conservation and appreciation of Wales' historic environment.
• The UK Association of Preservation Trusts (APT) facilitates the work of building preservation trusts both in Wales and UK wide. Building preservation trusts are charities which aim to preserve and restore neglected or redundant historic buildings for the benefit of the public. The APT has a dedicated Wales development officer, part funded by the Assembly Government via cadw. The development officer works with established Buildings Preservation Trusts, assists new groups in forming BPTS and mentors on all aspects of BPT work. There are currently 29 BPTs active in Wales.

In the beginning of May, full-time Lebanese University professors called for an open-ended strike to pressure the government to stop the series of budget cuts it has been implementing within the public sector, including but not limited to the Lebanese University. Due to overwhelming pressures from affected groups of public workers, no official salary reductions are present in the budget draft finalized on May 28.
Regardless, public servants proceeded to protest austerity measures that would affect their standard of living. In the case of the Lebanese University, such budget suggestions range from reductions in the overall university budget and workers’ retirement pension funds to the freezing of public employment and increases in taxation on the income of retirees. While excessive clientelism practiced by different sectarian political parties riddles the workings of the university, the strike evolved into a rebellion of some sorts that lasted up until a few days ago. While alternative movements led by student groups and professors found a space to resist the status quo, members of sectarian parties were also pushed to prioritize their immediate needs over party loyalty. As a result, the government’s major political forces spearheaded a campaign to disrupt and disarm students and professors of the basic tools they had been utilizing to defend their labor rights.
Using Organizational Structures To Suppress The Open-Ended Strike
The strike was initially declared and voted upon in a general assembly of the Association of Lebanese University Full-Time Professors, the legitimate way to call for or call off a strike according to the internal bylaws of the association.
This past month gave rise to a heated conversation about who holds the power to call off the strike, with some arguing that the authority and legitimacy is allocated to the select number of professors in the cabinet of the association. Because the cabinet is mostly comprised of professors belonging to the main political parties in the country, the government’s increasing pressure on them to call off the strike finally forced their hand. The cabinet decided to cancel the strike in their June 15 meeting.
A week later, a more representative assembly of professors called the Council of Delegates voted to continue with the strike. This left the sectarian political parties, who tried their hardest to maintain the previous cancellation, very alarmed.
“The time of politicized sectarian involvement in the Cabinet of the Association has come to an end,” said Bashir Osmat, Ph.D., an independent elected member of the cabinet of the Association of Lebanese University Full-Time Professors, in a student-led protest.
Internal sectarian pressures led four members of the cabinet, including Osmat and the president of the association, to resign from their positions as a way of protesting these interferences. Their resignations came after several attempts by the political parties to prevent the general assembly from meeting up and potentially voting for the continuation of the strike.
Using Student Wings To Oppose The Movement
Different heads of political parties in Lebanon made their stance on the strike very clear. Prime Minister Saad Al Hariri publicly announced that the strike was “shameful” while Minister of Education Akram Chehayeb and Minister of Finance Ali Hassan Khalil, members of the Progressive Socialist Party and Amal Movement respectively, met with and urged members of the association’s cabinet to end the strike. Aside from these announcements, different political forces employed their student wings in a noticeable strategy of opposing the strike. Several meetings were held to arrive at such a confrontational point between students and their professors.
The first meeting, which was held on May 9 and included students belonging to political parties that range from the Lebanese Forces to Hezbollah, resulted in a statement that called for the immediate cancellation of the strike. A second student meeting, which was held on June 18 and included students from different parties belonging to the camp historically-known as March 8, also ended with a co-signed statement calling for the cessation of the strike and the continuation of classes. With such an image in mind of how the authorities have reacted to the strike, an on-going debate in student circles has arisen: should we separate need-based struggles and political mobilization? Most people demanding their basic needs seem to call for this separation because of the negative connotations associated with politics. On the other end of the spectrum, those mobilized by certain ideas and ideological inclinations believe it’s quite impossible to separate the two.
The reality of the Lebanese University situation showed that many professors who are members of sectarian political parties seemed to be willing to depart from the ruling class’ discourse on this issue, separating their pressing needs from their political inclinations and the demands of their political parties. Sectarian political parties then branched out into exploiting the daily needs of other groups, such as students. In itself, that strategy is a telling sign of how easy it is to pit one side against the other and of the issues arising from politicizing our daily lives. In response to these attempts, this particular collective of professors and students raised a principled national discourse on the importance of the Lebanese University and the rights of both students and professors while holding the authorities accountable.

Hubble captures the Pillars of Creation twenty years on
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured many breathtaking images of the Universe, but one snapshot stands out from the rest: the Eagle Nebula’s Pillars of Creation. In 1995 Hubble’s iconic image revealed never-before-seen details in the giant columns and now the telescope is kickstarting its 25th year in orbit with an even clearer, and more stunning, image of these beautiful structures.
2015 v. 1995 ‘Pillars of Creation’ comparison. WFC3: NASA, ESA/Hubble and the Hubble Heritage Team. WFPC2: NASA, ESA/Hubble, STScI, J. Hester and P. Scowen (Arizona State University)

In addition, NASA says that although the original photograph was titled Pillars of Creation, the newer imagery suggests the columns might also contain a fair amount of destruction:
Although the original image was dubbed the “Pillars of Creation”, this new image hints that they are also pillars of destruction. The dust and gas in these pillars is seared by intense radiation from the young stars forming within them, and eroded by strong winds from massive nearby stars. The ghostly bluish haze around the dense edges of the pillars in the visible-light view is material that is being heated by bright young stars and evaporating away.

Broken collarbone ends season for Antioch's Kaliakmanis
Antioch's football team won its 25th consecutive game in Northern Lake County Conference action on Friday night, but the Sequoits suffered a devastating loss.
Junior quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis suffered a non-displaced fracture of his collarbone during the Sequoits' 34-0 win over visiting Grayslake Central. The University of Minnesota commit will miss the remainder of the season.
"He got X-rays at about 10 o'clock (Saturday) morning, and it was confirmed," Antioch coach Brian Glashagel said of Kaliakmanis' injury, which is to his non-throwing (left) shoulder.
"You feel bad for the kid," Glashagel added, "because these kids live for their high school sports."
The reality, Glashagel knows, is injuries happen to all teams. The Sequoits will carry on, even without the quarterback who as a sophomore last year led them to the Class 6A state quarterfinals. After beating Grayslake Central for its fifth win in a row, Antioch is 5-1 and 4-0 (alone in first) in the NLCC.
"It's adversity, man," Glashagel said. "I think we're still pretty darn good. We coach everybody up. We're prepared. With this (veteran) staff I got, we have a Plan B, Plan C. With (Andy) Bitto, (David) Proffitt, (Jim) Rejc, (Del) Pechauer, we have a Plan F. So we'll get it done."
Kaliakmanis was injured in the second quarter after his 23-yard touchdown run was called back due to a penalty. He dragged two defenders over the goal line before falling to the ground. In the process, another defender fell on top of Kaliakmanis.
"It was not a cheap shot," Glashagel said. "Athan was squeezed (while on) the ground. He just came down awkwardly."
"I just came down hard when they tackled me in the end zone," Kaliakmanis said after the game. "It was more just precautionary to keep me out. I feel fine and I'll be ready for next week."
Evan Day replaced Kaliakmanis at QB. Day started the Sequoits' Week-2 game against Woodstock North after Kaliakmanis got hurt in the season opener against Lake Forest.
"Evan's done a good job," Glashagel said. "We got a phenomenal defense (4 shutouts), we play very good special teams, and we can run the ball. I still think we should be in every game."
Meanwhile, Glashagel said senior defensive back/wide receiver Tre Watson is getting closer to returning. Watson injured his MCL against Grayslake North in Week 3 and has missed the Sequoits' last three games.
Antioch hosts Round Lake on Friday night, before traveling to rival Lakes the following Friday, Oct. 18.
"He's rehabbing, he's not on crutches anymore, spending part of the day walking without the (knee) brace," Glashagel said of Watson. "The kid is doing like pro-athlete rehab. ... Will he be ready by Lakes? I don't know. We just got to see. I'm not going to risk anything with him."
