Rumors of a romance between Bella and Chigvintsev have been flying for weeks, especially after the two were spotted together in public a few times. Last week, the Total Bellas star was spotted leaving Chigvintsev's home in Escondido, California on Tuesday morning.
A recent report claimed that their relationship was "moving forward" after the duo was spotted at Wally's in Beverly Hills in February. Witnesses told TMZ that the former dance partners drank wine and shared a meat and cheese board, and that "the date went on for hours...lots of flirting."
A source even said that the two have been spending a fair amount of time together recently and that Bella is "really into" the dance pro and wants the relationship to turn serious.
A source told Us Weekly in early January that Bella and Chigvintsev had been seeing each other "for a while." They were seen together at the farmers market in Studio City, California over Christmas weekend and Chigvintsev also joined the wrestling star for a flirty lunch on the set of Total Bellas.
But Bella told Access Live that she's not in the market for a full-fledged relationship.
"I'm not looking to be serious with anyone right now," she said. "I'm just looking to have fun. I'm just in a fortunate position that I get to go on these dates with a lot of amazing guys. I mean, not a lot, it's only been a few."
"I moved to L.A., so it was natural," she added of reconnecting with Chigvinstev. "Artem had asked me to the farmers market so I was like, 'Sure.' And then paparazzi kind of killed it and I was like, 'OK I'm out of here.'"
Bella and Chigvintsev originally met when Bella appeared on Season 25 of Dancing With the Stars while she was still engaged to ex-fiancé John Cena. The two had notable chemistry, though Bella noted in a recent episode of Total Bellas that chemistry doesn't always indicate a romantic relationship.
"Chemistry is not just romantic," she told her sister, Brie Bella. "I have amazing chemistry with people in the ring, people don't call me a lesbian."
"You don't think the media's gonna blow it out of proportion and make up all this B.S.?" Brie asked, to which Nikki replied, "I just think that's crazy."

They form the lessons we should have learned from this war and still haven’t.
Osama bin Laden declared war on America in his religious “fatwa” published by a London newspaper in 1996. It called upon every Muslim to kill Americans anywhere they are found and said that his followers had no intention except to enter paradise by killing us.
Our intelligence agencies knew not only of his intent but of his growing ability to carry out his goals. They knew of the training camps that the Taliban used to help train bin Laden’s men. So much was known and ignored. As the Twin Towers burned on 9/11, sources were pouring out information that bin Laden was behind the attacks. I wrote as much in a column that appeared in the Washington Times on September 12, 2001.
Our war against the Taliban began on October 7, 2001 and it continues to this day. Why?
Two presidents — Messrs. Bush and Trump — adopted strategies to try to defeat them and to support the Afghanistan government while our troops fight the Taliban. President Obama only compounded Mr. Bush’s mistake in nation-building, kicking the can down the road so that his successor would have to deal with Afghanistan and Obama wouldn’t be blamed for “losing
President George W. Bush had said he was opposed to nation-building during his 2000 campaign, but he immediately reverted to it in Afghanistan and continued it in Iraq. Why?

Today, our local paper featured me and my business on the front page of the Home & Garden section! They were looking for quick and easy budget-friendly ideas to put together for the 4th of July. Here are some inexpensive and simple outdoor tablescape ideas that you can make yourself.
I spent about $7 at Michaels on paper, twine, a decorative star, and 2 bandanas to be used as placemats. The rest was found around the house.
I got 2 sheets of paper and was able to wrap 2 candle vases with one sheet, and the center vase with half of the other. The striped paper had a different print on the reverse side so I used various patterns from it to make drink tags, bottle wrapper(on the bar below), and napkin ring details.
For the tags on the snack pails, I punched shapes from a brown grocery bag to add to the casual outdoorsy feel.
Here is the drink station with drink tags and bottle wrapper made from various patterns that were on the reverse side of the striped paper. Also added some stars to the wrapper.
Hope you all have a very happy Memorial Day weekend!!

Matt & Ben is the story of how two childhood friends – Matt Damon and Ben Affleck – write the screenplay for Good Will Hunting, which eventually helps the two become the stars they are today. While one wouldn’t expect this process to be smooth, it certainly doesn’t help when the perfectly written screenplay is falls directly from God to your lap. What could become a quick ticket to fame, money and a girlfriend turns into a moral dilemma – is it still stealing if it falls into your lap with your name written on it?
I was immediately drawn to this production when I saw Sarah Van Tassel (Artistic Director at The Walterdale, Director of Reasons to be Pretty) was involved. What’s most interesting about Matt & Ben is that the two main characters are played by women – Sarah Van Tassel (Ben) and Lindsey Walker (Matt). Seeing the two women adapt “stereotypical” male mannerisms – of speech and physical movement definitely sparked some thoughts of my own about gender stereotypes and representation. In particular, the discord between Van Tassel’s soprano voice, while she’s physically fighting with Walker took me out of the moment, thinking, “wait, this doesn’t feel right” – as if it’s not “proper” for two women to throw punches at each other. Outside of the play, if you were to ask me, “is it okay for females to physically fight?” I’d say “sure” (while simultaneously not endorsing violence of any kind because I’m not a big fan of fist-fights). The reason this worked was Van Tassel and Walker did a great job of adopting these stereotypes without making them seem overdone – no outrageously low voices (except where appropriate) or over-the-top macho-man actions.
While my mental exploration of the gender stereotypes presented in Matt & Ben was interesting, I thought the “flashback” scenes could have been improved (admittedly, I saw it on opening night and am sure this will be fixed up by the August 17 performance). Enter the theatre knowing there are “flashbacks” in the plot – be prepared for these, and try not to confuse them with the present plot line. The flashbacks in the August 16 performance often weren’t accompanied by a cue (lighting, aural, dialogue) that indicated the scene was taking place in the past. The audience catches up quickly enough, but it took me out of the moment for a second or two.
See it: if you like examining gender stereotypes, studying gender in popular culture, or like Matt Damon and Ben Affleck
Tickets are $12.50, or $10 for seniors and students. Matt & Ben runs for 65 minutes. Remaining shows are: August 17, 20,23, 24,and 25. Matt & Ben’s schedule can be found on the Fringe Theatre Adventures website or YEGLive.ca.

Pokemon GO’s highly anticipated Kanto Tour did not run smoothly. The ticked event, devised to celebrate all things in the Kanto Region, apparently let players in without paying. As a result, Niantic announced a make-up event at a future date for those who had paid for the event.
Trainers, Thanks for your patience while we looked into the Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto ticket issues. We will be hosting a bonus event for all paid ticket holders at a later date. Please stay tuned for details.
— Niantic Support (@NianticHelp) February 20, 2021
Pokemon GO: Kanto Tour details
The Pokemon GO: Kanto Tour offered players a chance at two different ticket options: Red or Green. These were the first two versions ever available in the Pokemon franchise; both had their own unique Pokemon available to catch in each. All 151 were up for grabs. Players would trade with someone who bought the opposite ticket in order receive version exclusives. The event ran on Feb. 20 and cost approximately $11.99 USD. Purchasing a ticket before certain dates also gave players free access to bonus research stories during the community days that led up to the event. Players were given until Feb. 28 to complete the event. However, as Niantic quickly realized, many players didn’t pay to participate.
The Kanto Tour also had exclusive missions, rewards and collection challenges. Legendary Pokemon would also learn exclusive moves unique to the event itself. Those who participated took to Twitter to express their frustrations. Many also claimed that they weren’t impressed with the amount of shiny Pokemon caught during the event.
Although Niantic has announced a bonus event, there is no set date for when it will take place as of yet. Since ticketed players will get a second chance at this event, the idea is that this make up event will smooth over the mishap. It will also allow disappointed players another shot at shiny hunting. Moving forward, Niantic aims to iron out the bugs that allowed un-paid players into their event.

YouthNet supports YoungMinds call for better mental health and wellbeing for young people
YouthNet are supporting the campaign for better mental health and wellbeing for young people, following research released by YoungMinds this morning that one third of children and young people don’t know where to turn to get help when they feel depressed or anxious.
YouthNet CEO, Emma Thomas said: “Making sounds choices amidst the chaos of life can be isolating, confusing and, at times, terrifying and it’s so vital that young people have access to trusted support and information in a style that they can relate to.
Through our work in this area we’ve heard some amazing stories from young people who, with the right support, have been able to come through their challenges and be an inspiration to others. It’s clear that more needs to be done- that’s why we aim to reach 1.6 million young people each year by 2016, more than any other youth charity, and why we are also today signing up to support YoungMinds in their campaign for better mental health and wellbeing for young people.”
YouthNet provide a range of information and support for young people experiencing mental health challenges through online service, TheSite. This includes information on helping young people to distinguish their feelings, talk about what they’re going through and better understand the approaches of mental health professionals to help empower young people to get support and demand the right treatment.

HUMBLE, Texas - A couple who discovered a tribute flag for a fallen Marine at a Texas flea market has presented it to his mother, more than nine years after he was killed in Iraq.
Lanie and Walter Brown gave the flag Saturday to Patsy Maciel before a small crowd gathered at the grave of Lance Cpl. Fred Maciel in the northern Houston suburb of Humble.
The Browns bought the flag for $5 after finding it tucked away earlier this month in the corner of a flea market in Hemphill, about 170 miles from Houston. The flag has about two dozen messages written by other marines for Maciel, who was 20 when he died in a helicopter crash.
Patsy Maciel didn't know of the flag's existence until contacted by the Browns on Facebook.

With the potential release of iPhone 7 Mini just over a month away, the rumor mill is completely abuzz with new things. According to a new speculation, Apple’s 4-Inch iPhone 7 Mini – as known as 6C or 5Se – may come In Space Gray, Silver and Bright Pink.
The information was first featured on a Japanese website, Mac Otakara, which received details from a third-party vendor.
This color was first seen in the iPod Nano seventh-generation and then on the iPod Touch. Both these colors are much brighter than the rose gold that you are used to seeing on the iPhone 6 and the 6S.
Apart from the Rose Gold, the device may also be available in traditional silver and space gray that featured on the iPhone 5S. It is possible that Apple will include other color options as well, just like the iPhone 5c.
As for the other rumors regarding the handset’s body, apart from the display size, there are also changes in the overall design. The major difference from the iPhone 5S is that there are no chamfered edges on the new device, so it may feature a design that is similar to the iPhone 6S. Other refinements indicate at a better and faster processor, that could be a combination of the A8 processor and the M8 coprocessor or the recent A9 chip and M9 coprocessor.
The Cupertino giant is also looking to upgrade the camera module to an 8MP rear shooter and a 1.2MP front-facing one. Touch ID and Live photos are also something that may be available on the new iPhone 5Se, also known as iPhone 7 Mini.
Pricing is a parameter that is much anticipated as well. We may be looking at a budget offering that is close to the $450 price point, at which the older iPhone 5S used to sell.

Today I’m excited to bring you a list of some of the most common mistakes I see players making when they throw. While many of these errors come when players are in the learning phase, some of these habits stick with players throughout their playing days. Click read more to see if there are any corrections you need to make to your form...
How to Play Ultimate Frisbee
Recently Rowan McDonnell released a video with all of the throws he has picked up over the years, totalling 80 different ways to throw a frisbee. Today, we are taking a look at his favorite 10 throws. These 10 represent the rarest and fan favorites of the bunch. Let’s start the countdown...
As April blends into May, club season tryouts have come around again. And over the course of the last few years, I have gotten pretty used to the entire process, both as a player and also as a captain. Here are some of my observations and tidbits of advice:
Ultimate is a non-contact, self-refereed team discipline played with a 175 gram flying disc. At each end of the playing field there is an end zone. Each team defends one endzone. They score a goal if one of their players catches the disc in the opposite end zone. There are 7 players per side and the field is 64 metres long (70 yards) and 37 m wide (40 yards) with 18 m endzones (25 yards). Click to read more about the rules of Ultimate frisbee.
Team chemistry can make or break a team regardless of the level of play. If you and your teammates can’t work well together on or off the field, your team’s season will be unpleasant, regardless of wins and losses. It’s urgent that from the beginning of the season till the end, you and your teammates are on the same page of what you want to accomplish. Here are a few principles to really focus on to create a positive team culture and chemistry. Click through to Read More
Pickup Ultimate can be some of the most fun games of Ultimate frisbee for some, and some of the most frustrating for others. The sport of Ultimate frisbee is one in which there are many levels of playing and countless rule formats to follow that you may never know what you’re getting yourself into when stepping onto a pickup field. This article will attempt to provide a quick guide for how to hold the most fun, welcoming, competitive, and enjoyable game that encourages playing at all levels.
Rowan here! This article is for any player out there who wants to maximize their skill in Ultimate. After recently being named the 2018 MVP of the AUDL, I have decided to share a strategy I’ve used to help me capture this award. Check it out
Unlike Ultimate frisbee, in Disc Golf there are many different types of discs to choose from and it can be intimidating deciding on the right disc for you. Here are 15 of the best Disc Golf discs for Ultimate players to try on their next round of golf. Click Read More
The history of Ultimate frisbee, and even earlier, the history of recreational flying discs, can be traced at least as far back as 1837. The practice of throwing popcorn bucket lids and pie tins eventually evolved into a plastic mold specifically designed for the activity. Renamed and revamped many times for longer and more accurate flight, the “Pluto Platter” was the first disc sold to toy company Wham-O by Walter Morrison in 1955. Click through to read more.
Throwing is essential to the game of Ultimate and Disc Golf for that matter. But exciting and unique throws make the game that much better. Below are the 10 Must Have Throws for Ultimate Frisbee by professional Ultimate player Rowan McDonnell of the Washington D.C. Breeze and coach of American University's Women's club team.

The AFL finals series is finally here and after a week of waiting, eight sides remain in the hunt for the holy grail.
All eyes are firmly set on Carlton, who qualified for the top eight for the first time since 2013, breaking their 10 year September drought when they face the Swans on Friday night.
Meantime, Melbourne's weather forecast promises wind and hail for both Thursday and Friday night's blockbusters at the MCG, throwing a spanner into selection decisions for multiple clubs, with the Pies making the first hard call of September.
LIVE UPDATES: All the scores and action from the US Open day ten
READ MORE: Collingwood great's shock at brutal axing
Collingwood vs Melbourne - First qualifying final:
Thursday - 7:20pm AEST – MCG
Collingwood face Melbourne at the MCG on Thursday night, with a hard luck story leading the headlines for the Magpies.
Collingwood teammates were seen consoling John Noble during Wednesday's training session, after his shock omission from the side was confirmed on Wednesday night.
Noble has been left out of the side, meaning his 83-consecutive game streak comes to a bitter end for the defender.
Captain Darcy Moore has been named after suffering a hamstring injury in the Magpies round 22 win over Geelong.
Alongside him on return will be Nathan Murphy and Beau McCreery, but young gun Nick Daicos (knee) has been all but ruled out for the clash.
Meantime, mature forward Ash Johnson has been ruled out with a fractured arm.
The Pies struggled their way through their final home-and-away matches, going down to Hawthorn, Carlton and Brisbane in three of their last five games, with the attention now on the defensive-driven Demons.
Collingwood coach Craig McRae has confirmed they will run with both ruckmen, Darcy Cameron and Mason Cox, in hopes of minimising star Melbourne ruckman Max Gawn's impact.
"The best version of us over the last 18 months is when they're both (Cameron and Cox) at their best," McRae said on Tuesday.
As for fan favourite Jack Ginnivan, McRae confirmed the 20-year-old would start as sub, but praised the energy he brings to the club on game day.
"If you're out of the ground when they call his name out or he touches the ball, it's an incredibly reaction and our fans clearly get a spark and we get a spark from that too," McRae said.
Meantime, the Demons are looking to right the wrongs of their straight-sets exit from the 2022 finals campaign.
Premiership forward Bayley Fritsch suffered bruising in round 24 on his previously fractured ankle that saw him sidelined for seven weeks but the Demons have stuck fat, with the forward retaining his spot to face the Magpies.
Meantime, the Demons also welcome back two premiership heroes, Tom McDonald and Michael Hibberd.
McDonald has finally overcome an ankle injury, with coach Simon Goodwin pleased with the timely return.
"He's got his timing right, Tommy, hasn't he?" Goodwin said on Wednesday.
Melbourne have been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons in the second half of the season, after dropping out-of-favour ruckman Brodie Grundy in attempt to hone his craft as a forward in the VFL.
Grundy has been unable to regain a regular senior spot, with leading AFL journalist Caroline Wilson lauding the 29-year-old's bold move to meet with Port Adelaide representatives to discuss a possible trade.
Despite the cloud over the Demons, Goodwin remains confident that Grundy's possible move hasn't disrupted the team's ultimate goal.
"He knows he's got a four year contract and he knows he's going to keep pushing this year to play finals footy."
Brisbane vs Port Adelaide - Second qualifying final:
Saturday - 7:25pm AEST - Gabba
Port Adelaide captain Tom Jonas looks to be the heartbreak story for the Power, likely being left out of their clash against Brisbane, to make way for Trent McKenzie.
But Jonas says there are no hard feelings, with the defender's mind firmly set on winning the flag.
"Hopefully I get an opportunity, but at the same time, I'll continue to support the group in the best way possible," Jonas said on Wednesday.
"At the end of the day, we're playing to win, that's the most important thing, so we'll pick the best team to go and beat Brisbane."
The Power are in the spotlight after their peculiar finals theme was explained on SEN Radio on Tuesday.
Port are relying on Hollywood blockbuster Oppenheimer to find a theme it hopes will carry the club to its first premiership in nearly two decades.
"It's a little bit about just how much work goes into something," Wines said.
"In the movie, it was (the work) to go into the atomic bomb that ended World War II.
"So many people have to come together and work hard for a number of years, this finals campaign isn't something that's just been building for this year, it's probably been the last four years."
Meantime, Brisbane are keen to lock in a preliminary final on home soil, after their dismal 71-point loss to Geelong at the MCG in last year's preliminary.
Their 1-14 record at the MCG doesn't sit comfortably with the Lions, but coach Chris Fagan believes 2023 is their best chance to win it all.
"We have to (believe this is our year). That group of young players that started playing finals three of four years ago, (Hugh) McCluggage, (Brandon) Starcevich, (Jarrod) Berry, (Cam) Rayner, they're all mature now," Fagan said on Fox Sports.
"I think this is our best opportunity without doubt."
However, Rich hasn't ruled out a return to contribute in the push for a premiership.
"The focus is the next month and to be there in any way to support or get out there with the boys," Rich said on 3AW on Tuesday.
Carlton vs Sydney - First elimination final:
Friday - 7:50pm AEST – MCG
Blue Blake Acres will face a critical fitness test on Thursday to prove he has recovered from a bruised collarbone to face Sydney in their do-or-die clash at the MCG.
Acres trained normally with the main Carlton group on Tuesday, but if he is ruled out, Sam Docherty looms likely to be his replacement.
The last time these sides met, Sydney dominated and won by 26 points, led by a monster performance from Isaac Heeney, who notched up seven clearances, 10 tackles and had five inside 50s.
Heeney was unleashed through the midfield for that clash. Not only did he quell Patrick Cripps' influence, but he won seven clearances, 10 tackles and had five inside 50s.
Carlton coach Michael Voss has spoken on his hopes for Carlton, despite the obvious nerves for the inexperienced group.
"I just want to see the full version of ourselves, because I know it's a good version," Voss said on Wednesday.
As for the Swans, their heartbreaking 2022 grand final loss at the hands of Geelong is one they want to put behind them, with coach John Longmire adamant their clash against the Blues at the MCG is "a chance for a new story".
"We just have to keep improving, that's all we can do," Longmire said on Wednesday.
"I'm really proud of the resilience of the footy club and the players to keep pushing along and keep working at what we need to do ... they've been able to do that to give us a chance on the starting grid. I'm really pleased with that."
St Kilda vs GWS Giants - Second elimination final:
Saturday - 3:20pm AEST – MCG
The Giants fate lies in Thursday night's tribunal hearing, with the club deciding to head to the league's appeals board in the hope of overturning Toby Bedford's controversial one-match ban for his off-ball hit on Blue Zac Fisher in round 24.
Giants forward Jesse Hogan sung the praises of Bedford in hopes a successful appeal that would see him be able to face the Saints.
"These players (Bedford) have become absolute locks for our team," Hogan said on Fox Footy.
Hogan also lauded his captain and newly crowned All-Australian leader Toby Greene ahead of their must-win match.
"He puts more time into his craft than anyone I've see over my time, to be honest," Hogan said.
Meantime, St Kilda got a chance to sneak onto the MCG on Tuesday, a place unfamiliar to the group, who last played finals in 2020, when the league was quarantined up in Brisbane.
Dougal Howard and Josh Battle have been cleared to play, but the Saints have been forced to draw a line through Jack Hayes, who suffered a calf injury.
All eyes will fall on the return of key forward Max King after he was rested in round 24.
As for their mercurial coach Ross Lyon, he has taken the Saints from a "fumbling, stumbling mess" who were "not worthy of playing finals" after their loss to the Suns in round 18, to an elimination battle.

After getting injured while filming his new web series, director and producer Rohit Shetty was recently hospitalised in Hyderabad on Saturday, January 7. He was admitted to Kamineni Hospital to undergo a minor surgery and later given a discharge.
According to Rohit’s spokesperson, “Rohit Shetty suffered a minor finger injury last night while filming an action scene for his upcoming web series Indian Police Force. The wound was attended to right away. And soon after the incident, he resumed shooting. The “Golmaal” filmmaker suffered a hand injury while filming “Indian Police Force” in the Ramoji Film City, outskirts of the city.
Speaking of the web series, “Indian Police Force,” which will debut only on the OTT platform Amazon Prime Video, stars Sidharth Malhotra, Vivek Oberoi, and Shilpa Shetty Kundra in the lead roles.
The series’ Delhi schedule has previously been completed by the producers. The series has yet to begin streaming in its entirety. Sidharth and filmmaker Rohit Shetty make their web series debut with “Indian Police Force.”
The Indian Police Force is a really special project for me, and I’ve been working on it for years, Rohit has stated. I’m excited to work with Amazon Prime Video to bring this story to life so that it can be seen by audiences everywhere. This collaboration will allow us to break down geographical and linguistic barriers.
Rohit’s most recent period comedy, “Cirkus,” which starred Ranveer Singh, Varun Sharma, Pooja Hegde, and Jacqueline Fernandez in the lead roles, failed badly at the box office.
‘Singham Again,’ which features Ajay Devgn and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles, will also be directed by him.


text: The Matka platform case will be treated by the State Commission for Prevention of Corruption (SCPC), whose President, Biljana Ivanovska, said on Wednesday that the decision had been made as a result of the suspicions that there was corruption in this case because all institutions were declared not competent to act. As the SCPC President added, she is personally investigating the case of the employment of PS Talat Xhaferi’s daughter. At Wednesday’s session the SCPC also decided, upon an own initiative, to open an investigation about the employment during an election period of two attorneys in the Media Agency. In response, the Agency said everything was legal. It has hired also seven associates for monitoring media. After the start of the campaign, it will hire another 15 people. “This hiring is in accordance with the Electoral Code, which provides for a possibility to start employment procedures in the event of urgent and immediate matters,” it said. When it comes to the Mayors mentioned by the SCPC in relation to the asset declarations issue, they visited the SCPC’s premises the previous day and were informed about the shortcomings in the documentation. Two of the first 18 cases of alleged nepotism have been resolved. The first case concerns the employment of MP Emilija Aleksandrova’s daughter by the Fund for Innovations and Technology Development. The SCPC has received information that she didn’t apply there at all. The second case concerns former Berovo Mayor Zvonko Pekovski’s wife. She had been employed on the basis of a service contract as a teacher in a primary school for two years, after which the employment became regular automatically.

Production planning support services
Comatec’s customisation services modify a machine or piece of equipment into the product desired by the end client. Our localisation services make a client’s product suitable for a new market area. The service for example ensures that the materials and components used in a product or machine and the level of automation meet local requirements, legislation and official regulations.
Layout design service
Our layout design service helps produce a plan for the use of a client’s factory premises and for the location of machinery and equipment. The plan takes into account the latest legislation and permit procedures as well as any restrictions set by activities going on around production. Effective layout design has a major impact on through-put times, smooth production flow, use of space and work safety.
Detail design and documentation
Comatec creates the detail design and documentation for a product or project in accordance with the client’s source date and requirements. By outsourcing the detailed design, the client releases its own key personnel for new design and product development projects and can concentrate on its core business. After the assembly, installation, work and production drawings have been produced, the product can move on to sourcing or to installation and plant assembly. As well as the detail design, if the client so wishes Comatec will create the documentation and enter the product data in the client’s product information management system.
Design for maintainability
Comatec takes into account the impact of design solutions for a machine or piece of equipment on ease of maintenance and usability right from the design stage. Careful design for maintainability ensures that it is easy to carry out maintenance and repairs under normal usage and maintenance conditions. The design pays particular attention to access to areas that need maintenance or repair, to the space required for maintenance and repair activities, and to maintenance personnel ergonomics. The maintenance and usability plan gives the client a precise plan of the parts of a machine that require maintenance and a schedule for this maintenance. The time required for maintenance can be predicted, which makes it easier to schedule maintenance shut downs.
In a modernisation review, Comatec reviews the latest technology on the market for a client. With newer solutions it is possible to upgrade a machine or piece of equipment for more modern operations and to produce more competitive products. A modernisation review can also be linked to parts or components used in a product or to its production and assembly procedures. The review also examines the latest legislation and regulations that apply to a product or technology.
Production tool design
Comatec’s experts design various production tools, such as lifting tools and production and assembly jigs used especially in the production of large products and machines. These production tools improve safety, efficiency and quality in production. Production tools are also needed in automating production, for example equipment for moving items and devices for gripping.
Configuration of design systems
We can also configure a client’s design system, automating frequently repeated design stages. Configuration is part of the design process, and involves creating parameters for design work, defining governing rules and correlations, and entering these in a separate configuration program. Configuring the design system helps significantly reduce design time – and time to market.
Product approval service
Comatec’s product approval service carries out a preliminary inspection of a product before inspection by a certified authority. The preliminary inspection ensures that a piece of equipment functions properly and complies with standards, legislation and regulations. The product approval service helps identify any faults so that these can be corrected before the official inspection, avoiding the need for an expensive repeat visit by the authorities.
Safety surveys and consulting
Our safety service offers standard surveys in support of design and consulting in matters relating to the machinery directive. We conduct a risk analysis of the compatibility of the object being designed and of the safety of machines and equipment. The product safety service includes documentation of the safety service report. We also offer a wide range of machine safety services for the different stages in the life cycle, which support the design during production, testing, usage and modernisation. We carry out comprehensive risk analyses in accordance with SFS-EN ISO 14121-1 standards and compatibility assessments in accordance with the 2006/42/EC machinery directive.
Sales support services acts as technical expert for the client
Sales meetings, technical tender documents and technical descriptions
Comatec Group’s sales technical support acts as the client’s technical expert at sales meetings, assists in drawing up technical tender documents, and creates technical descriptions. We support the client’s sales organisation in technical specifications for a delivery project. Sales technical support also includes research and background investigations in different stages of the sales process.
Technical services for the tendering stage
Comatec’s expert can participate as technical expert in sales negotiations conducted by the client even in the tendering stage, can examine the technical solutions in tenders and make suggestions for improvements. Comatec prepares and sends requests for tender based on the design documents and technical data provided by the client, compares the tenders received, and where necessary sends requests for more precise information. A Comatec expert who takes part in sales negotiations is the client’s technical expert and can significantly enhance sales negotiations.

The harrowing future.
The world was still. In the wake of the disaster, nothing moved save for the beating of the arcane serpent’s own heart. Coiled and knotted like a rope, his spindled form merely hovered in the comforting glow of the detonation.
He was frailly built. Two sets of emaciated arms stretched out from a wiry frame, and a flat intricate crest fanned from his alien head, supported by a weak curved neck. A pair of small, vestigial wings remained folded at his sides, eclipsed by the larger pair that--until now--had acted as a cocoon.
The first few moments of his existence were sluggish, confusing. Several days passed before he could even unwrap himself from the coiled position that had ushered him into the devastated world. He extended one of his large outer wings, tentatively testing its soundness. He then peeled away the other, wobbling awkwardly. Frightened at the sudden temperature change, he collapsed both wings, huddling and shivering. Perhaps tomorrow.
The next day he unraveled his leviathan-like tail enough to barely graze the soil below him. The sense of touch was exhilarating, but nothing prepared him for the first time he opened his eyes. The sudden stimuli of vision sent him reeling, as brightness invaded his fogged oculars and sent waves of pain throughout his head. Instinctively, he shut them tight again. But by now, his curiosity had been piqued, and he wrenched them back open, the blindness fading eventually.
What followed was an insatiable curiosity for the landscape that surrounded him. The world that he saw was the only world that he knew. The gnarled, skeletal remains of the cities and towns that surrounded him in a deathly ring had always been. This was the true picture of the realm according to the Arcanist .
In the following days he wandered the wreckage, soaking in the scarred remnants of civilization. Each torn structure was a question, every charred figure was an inquiry.
These investigations fueled his hunger for knowledge, and he began to collect pieces of the deluge and examine them closely. Among the wastes he found scattered sheets of parchment and papers that had somehow escaped immolation. Though he did not understand the text covering them, there was much to be gleaned from the illustrations. The serpent began to build a picture of the area’s history.
But there came a point where the Arcanist had devoured what scant information he could, and he decided to venture outside the confines of the great city’s borders. His curious gaze traced the distant horizon, which sloped upwards drastically towards the northwest. There, a glint of bright light seemed to beckon to him. After surveying his birthplace for the last time, he launched into the sky and set off towards this beacon, leaving all he knew behind.
No matter the destruction, there is always a chance of rebirth.
In the time before the Arcanist's awakening, concentrated energies rained across the shattered landscape, seeping into the charred remains of life and industry.
Arcane particles sank deep into the crust, enriching the roots of trees and plants that had been sapped of their life during the blast. Currents of energy coursed up trunks and into the cells of branches. Reactions sparked beneath the surface sending waves of magic through stalks of grass, clusters of bushes, and monumental redwoods. Ethereal flowers erupted from cracks and crevices, and each green cluster grew larger and more robustly than the last. Nature had capitalized on the fallout, taking control of the energies to repair itself.
The rampant regrowth began to take on the guise of a colossal figure. Tree branches and leaves strained and twisted together into four thick, bark-covered stumps. A leafy canopy connected the four towers, until the burgeoning garden had materialized into a distinguishable silhouette. There was no mistaking what had been created: a wyrm of boundless potential, birthed from the leaves and the grass and the moss. The Gladekeeper had grown out of the ashes.
Not everything can be healed. The apocalypse had done more than spur the rejuvenation of flora: the fauna still rotted, left to fester upon the soil, and spoil in the dreadful warmth. Death leveraged the excess energy in another way. Where nature could not mend, decay took its place. Putrid film soaked and crept across the ground, enveloping everything in its path. Whole structures creaked and fell under the weight of the empowered rot that now infected them.
This contagion continued its wave of domination, scouring every corpse and every bit of food. Weaker plants and bodies of water fell sick with filth, and the cycle intensified with each new fallen organism. A runaway viral infection coursed through the veins of the world.
This scourge wrapped around the fallen, ripping away flesh and tearing marrow into a blighted tornado of destruction. Within time, the contamination had taken on a ghastly shape. It haunted the land in the form of a spectral drake, gnarled with veins, pustules and sharpened bone. This harbinger -the Plaguebringer- tested the worth of every sign of regrowth as she scoured over the surface of the realm, leaving behind a frightening scarred wasteland.
It did not take long for the wyrms to encounter one another; each was torn away from their polarized campaigns after sensing the nearness of their nemesis. While the land healed and fell ill all around them, the deities of nature and plague embroiled themselves in vicious, unending combat. Thick roots and brambles wrapped themselves around the Plaguebringer’s legs and arms, chaining her to the earth, only to wither and melt away at her defiling touch. Contagion reached and groped at the Gladekeeper’s every move, but she countered with razor-sharp torrents of bladed leaves and piercing branches. The land took on the hues of red and green as the two sparred and tumbled eternally. Hilltops and cliffs were torn asunder, replaced with lush tropical gardens or seething, stinking, bone piles. Chaos seemed the only constant.
Oblivious to the existence of the warring sisters, the Arcanist had reached his destination: an observatory perched at the top of a large heave of stone and grass. The sight of it was foreign to him, the structure was undeniably more intact than those that surrounded the scrap metal of the reactors below. Its metallic surface shone brilliantly up close, constructed out of polished amber-colored alloys and engraved with intricate patterns.
A massive, tiered scope extended from its domed roof, angled in such a way that a thousand different colors bent through its gigantic lens. The reflection of the rising moon glowed upon the surface of the curved glass.
Curious about the purpose of the construct, the young wyrm entered, approaching the ringed cylinder that led him to this place. Diagrams led him to the eyepiece in the center of the observatory’s central chamber. Tracing its connection to the scope, the Arcanist began to understand what he must do. Unaware of what to expect, he curled up on the floor and looked into the device.
Overwhelming emotion filled the Arcanist's heart. The familiar dreary landscape of orange and brown that had defined his creation was now a sea of black, dotted with a rainbow of color. A million twinkling stars enveloped his senses, and he backed away from the telescope in fear. But for as much apprehension he was experiencing, there was two times the excitement. He was obliviously traveling along the waves of galaxies and pulsars and suns and planets, absorbing it all.
And in this position he remained.
He began to inscribe his studies onto the reams of blank parchment he found preserved below the observatory. Strewn papers and notes dotted interior walls of the dome, illustrating star maps and constellations he found in his observations. The vastness of the skies above were always unveiling new surprises. He was determined and hungry to document it all: Every corner of space, every point in the visible universe.
After a particularly exhausting night of scouring the sky, he noticed something peculiar: a splotch of pure black between two familiar spiral galaxies. Consulting his previous maps of that area, he realized that it had not shown itself the first time he had chronicled the quadrant. A sudden wave of curiosity washed over him and—suddenly reinvigorated--he refocused in on this spot intensely.
The blackness was implausible, and--more alarming: it seemed to move slightly over the course of the night. The arcane one rapped his claws against the floor in deep thought. To move that quickly in one evening had to mean that the anomaly was very close indeed. Close enough, even, to possibly view with the naked eye. A natural account of the enigma would be extremely valuable information to have.
For the first time in a decade, the Arcanist left the observatory. Squinting into the setting sun, he traced a pattern in the sky towards where he knew the blemish would be, and there it was. It was as if someone had removed the stars from the sky, shoving them outward, exposing a hole in the cosmos.
He surveyed the horizon, trying to identify the highest point where he could perch, dismayed that he may have already reached it. From the observatory hill, the Arcanist could see a wealth of landscape spread out around him, though nothing appeared to surpass his vantage. A mighty silhouette faded into view to the northeast. Through a thick brown haze, he could see a tall monument, stretching skyward. A pillar. From its zenith it might just be possible to observe the growing darkness.
The Pillar’s true size became readily apparent the closer he traveled. Waves of powerful energy warped the air, making flight more and more difficult as he approached, finally driving him to ground. As he crawled to The Pillar's base, he looked up. The megalith towered above him, receding into the heavens. He could not make out its summit, and the notion of scaling it soon became sickening and intimidating.
He had to know.
Driven, the Arcanist reached out and gripped the Pillar’s craggy surface with one of his claws, finding handholds in the intricate carvings that decorated its circumference. Using all the strength he could muster, he began to propel himself upward. During his ascent, he never looked down upon the world that was now roiling with plagued lands and terrifying jungles. He was alone in the pursuit of an ultimate knowledge.
For days he climbed, eyes focused on the tightly-rounded horizon that was his goal. Mistral tufts brushed his aching body, and for several hours the young god was lost in a soup of dark, rumbling thunderclouds. He made his best progress at night, when the void was most prominent in the sky. It was growing larger, but he could not determine if he was getting any closer.
At long last, the Pillar ended. Digging his claws into the flattened crown, and with a final exhausting heave, he pulled his body onto the cold, unforgiving stone and collapsed. He slumbered, wrapped within the protection of his wings. The air at the apex was frigid, and an immense pressure pulsed at his temples, but there he remained until night inevitably fell.
The dark spot was now a formidable swath of the sky, and he could make out curious fluctuations along its edges. Tendrils of the deepest black spiraled off; however, there was something even more odd. Although he was closer to his subject, his perception of it still felt skewed. Was it possible that his viewpoint was somehow being warped by the energies emitted by The Pillar?
The Arcanist closed his eyes and focused, meditating deeply within the submersion of the magic emanating from the summit. He felt it shift, glowing, growing, and receding. The drake began to pull at it, each inhale absorbing more and more of the ether. He then opened his eyes.
It was much clearer now. The distortion that had obscured his observance of the void had all but vanished. He took a few moments to closely examine the darkness, soon discovering that it was shifting in accordance to his own movement. When he lifted an arm, smoky tendrils sprouted from the black cloud and spiraled outward in a beautifully fractal dance. If he arched his back, the blackness echoed and bent. This was communion with the heavens, a gift that he had only dreamed of. From this perch, the Arcanist felt he could command the universe itself.
He released some of his power in a stream of red and blue, drawing a serpentine line of fire across his body. The darkness shifted. He waved all four of his arms in different directions, painting the air with coiled ropes of light. The darkness inflated. In one grand gesture, he expelled magic in a dazzling array of explosions and patterns.
The darkness surged.
A low, ominous rumble pervaded the air, and the Arcanist became frightened, halting his display and seizing hold of the edges of The Pillar. Something was not right.
The shadow enveloped the sky, and the tendrils that had enchanted him moments before were taking on a terrifying new guise. Thousands of razor-toothed maws snapped toward him as the night was swallowed.
A harrowing moan rocked the realm. Startled, the Gladekeeper relaxed her jaw, releasing the Plaguebringer's neck. The defiling wyrm tumbled down a ravine, scrambling to right herself. Poised to lunge back into the fray, she froze in her tracks when another deafening groan shuddered over the canyon. The two sisters were silenced as they both raised their heads and witnessed the bleak canopy spreading out above them.
In the far distance, a beacon of radiating pink light pulsed in the clouds, illuminating the mighty Pillar on the horizon. Crackling bolts of thunder surrounded its summit, and each passing moment resulted in more disappearing stars. It was as if a mighty being was blowing out a billion candles.
Terrified at what this could mean, the adversaries fled in opposite directions, determined to preserve themselves.
This was not right.
The Arcanist cemented himself to the stone dais, gaping at the nightmare that grew ever larger, the moaning that rumbled ever louder. A sorrowful, hopeless feeling washed over him, and all of the raw power and energy he had so masterfully wielded was drained. He shook with fear.
The Shade continued the hunt, gaining speed at a horrifying pace. Beckoned by the arcane dragon’s ritual, the cloud of dread hungrily rocketed towards the world it had attacked eons earlier. The darkness sliced through the sky like a dagger.
There was nothing left to do. The young god crept to the precipice and looked down into the clouds. The perceived sensation of falling almost seemed a welcome feeling when compared to the null maw that approached. With one last look at the conquering shadow, he slid off the edge and clenched his wings tight against his body. The Arcanist plummeted as the first tendrils reached the bulwark’s outer barriers.
A deafening noise shattered the silent night, as the brunt of the assailing force hit. The immensity of the nightmarish Shade was overwhelming. The magical barrier, weakened considerably during the summoning, ruptured under the impact. The force of the collision sent devastating shockwaves through the thin air, and in one explosive moment...
...the Pillar shattered.

On Twitter Tuesday, Netflix announced that had been watched by 111 million viewers. We , but now it’s official: Squid Game is Netflix’s biggest launch for a TV show ever.
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos suggested this could happen, saying the breakout hit had a “very good chance” of becoming Netflix’s biggest show ever. Back on Oct. 1, he said it was No. 1 all over the world and would “definitely” be its “biggest non-English language show in the world, for sure.”
The Korean series, which focuses on a Battle Royale-style game show where competitors fight to death for a massive cash prize, has been a massive phenomenon, inspiring devotion (and) in its burgeoning fan base. This announcement means Squid Game has now overtaken massively popular shows like Bridgerton and Lupin as Netflix’s most popular show.
Is ain the works? Nothing’s been announced yet. But given the success of season 1, surely it’s inevitable.

Flood risk forecasting + user platform = ?
In other words, how to create a user platform for participative flood risk monitoring and forecasting system.
Nowadays, extreme weather events leading to disruptive floods in urban and rural areas are more frequent due to climate change. The technological solutions that help dealing with these situations include flood monitoring and forecasting systems that use different data to help predict the flood occurrences and diminish the negative impacts. Researchers from Riga Technical University in cooperation with St. Petersburg Institute for Informatics and Automation of RAS (Russia) have developed an operational flood forecasting system based on integrated use of ground-based and aerospace data within the framework of InFrom project (http://infrom.eu/). The system uses 4 data layers (including crowdsourcing data) to provide high-precision operational ﬂood forecast to the interested persons and organizations.

Woken after forty-eight days.
Wake up and see the world,
for what it really is.
Not everyone else's world,
but my own reality.
Truth comes with time,
how right that seems now.
To anyone else,
I would have seemed mad.
Keeping pace with the story,
of the mental shadow dance.
It would have seemed impossible,
but I could see the undercurrent.
A constant drive for one thing,
in a kaleidoscope of mental change.
To watch a search doomed to fail,
for someone that will never be known.
The unobtainable picture of self,
always out of reach.
Slipping through those fingers,
every grasp trying harder.

Question: I read in some of the books written by Shaykh Al-Islaam about talking to the dead. He said that it is Satan who comes out of the grave and talks to those who have come to him, and some other related things. Does the story of Mutarrif, which was mentioned by Ibn Al-Qayyim, belong to this category? Is there a limit for talking to the dead, if in fact it is Shaytaan who responds?
Answer: The souls of the dead approaching their graves on Thursday night or Friday morning, recognizing those who visit or pass them and greet them more clearly than other times, and meeting of the living with the dead on this day are all matters that belong to the Ghayb (Unseen), which is known exclusively by Allaah and therefore can only be known about through a revelation from Him to one of his prophets… read more here.
Question: What is the phenomenon of conjuration, which is belief in the possibility of conjuring the spirit of a dead person through a medium? What is the attitude of Islaam toward this phenomenon? Is it a true phenomenon? Please support your answer with Aayaat, Hadeeths or authentic narrations.
Answer: This phenomenon is the known practice of using a Jinnee (creature created from fire) and conjuring it by means of invocations and charms practiced by a conjurer… read more here.
Question: My father is suffering from a chronic disease, we tried very hard to treat him but it was in vain. When doctors failed to treat him, the family resorted to some charlatans seeking a treatment. I refused and did not let them continue on this track, for I am sure that it is forbidden. I warned them that this is Haraam (prohibited), but they did not consider my warnings. They argued that I know nothing about the matter and that those charlatans are righteous people. They believe that this is religiously lawful. In fact, it was only when I was informed of the way they treat the patient that I became really against their acts. I know that their acts are baseless. Some of their ways are as follows:One of them asked my family to bring my father’s headdress. Thereupon, he described the disease of my father without examining him.
Another charlatan also says on seeing the patient: “O So and So! You have a good horoscope” exactly in this manner. A third one orders the family of the patient to slaughter a black sheep, collect some of its hooves or horns then put them inside the slain sheep and place it in an isolated area where no one can see or reach it. The charlatan also stipulates that the slaughtered animal should be kept out of sight, claiming that the influence of the treatment will be ineffective if anyone sees the slaughtered animal specified for treatment.
There are many other acts that some people believe. Therefore, I am sending my question hoping that you will clarify the ruling on this matter. I hope that Allaah, the Most High, the All-Powerful renders us from those who hear the word (Good advice) and follow the best thereof. And Allaah is the grantor of success.
Answer: It is Haraam (prohibited) to go to charlatans for treatment. The ways of treatment you mentioned are charlatanic and superstitious. Their only aim is to unjustly seize people’s money… read more here.

The Gentle Author Speaks
This interview, conducted and edited by Tim Rich, was first published last year in Random Spectacular, a limited edition magazine with a circulation of seven hundred and fifty, and I am republishing the piece today so that those who were unable to obtain a copy may read it here. The print which was commissioned to accompany the interview was created by Justin Knopp of Typoretum.
I wanted to find out more about the writer whose words transport me each day, whose stories take me through previously unseen doorways in my own neighbourhood in the East End. But that also required a promise from me – that I wouldn’t reveal the identity of The Gentle Author. I feared that this guarding of the person behind the pen might go hand in hand with a reticence to talk. What I encountered was something else entirely. Here are some of the words we exchanged over a pot of tea in East London.
Tim Rich – Your promise to readers includes a picture of a sundial on Fournier Street that features the words ‘Umbra Sumus’ – “We are shadows.” Reading your writing for the first time, I had the immediate feeling that you were either pursuing or escaping something.
The Gentle Author – Well, there’s a wonderful notion that Kierkegaard described – that being a writer is like being in the continual state of running through a burning house, trying to decide what to rescue. I do feel that sensation a lot of the time. Also, that people’s stories go unrecorded is a matter of grief to me. I think that arose after the death of my parents. I grew up in Devon around old people, and I used to knock on their doors and ask to spend a day with them. I suppose I have a vertiginous sense of all the stories in the world, and accompanying that is a sense of the loss of all the stories. So I have a compulsion to collect as many as I can, for as long as I can.
Tim Rich – Your stories became longer after a couple of months of the blog, and that coincided with you writing more pen portraits.
The Gentle Author – I have a personal sense of responsibility to people that I’ve met to do them justice. The idea of trying to sum someone up in a thousand words is terrifying. That was why the stories got longer and longer. The other thing that happened in the first year – unexpectedly – was that a lot of readers came along. It gave me a different responsibility, to not disappoint the reader. You want to give them something wonderful. So I became more ambitious.
Tim Rich – That is a terrific counterblast to the common, pessimistic notion that people don’t read much any more, and that writing for the Web should always be short. You show that the Web can be a place for a longer and more personal form of writing.
The Gentle Author – I respect the discipline of writing, that a piece should be well structured and a story well told. But I also aspire to write in an unmediated way, and to not withhold an emotionalism if that’s how I react to a subject. I am also attracted to use vocabulary in a way that it is not used in journalism, but is perhaps more common in fiction. I chose to be this voice speaking from the darkness, because I want to be in private with the reader. I want the reader to understand that the writer’s intention is benign, and that we can trust each other. And I hope the readers create their own sense of who they are listening to and take ownership of what they read. In this sense, the Gentle Author is a conceit to bring readers closer to the subject, and I want the subject to be the people I’m writing about, not me.
Tim Rich – Do you have to get into the character of the Gentle Author when you write?
The Gentle Author – Graham Greene said that reading Charles Dickens was like listening to the mind talking to itself. It is the internal voice that I aspire to in my writing – what I hear inside my mind.
Tim Rich – Tell me a little more about the ‘hare-brained’ task you have set for yourself.
The Gentle Author – I wanted readers to know they could rely on something new every day. And I felt that if I created this cage for myself, then I could have no escape. I have written more than 800,000 words in the last two years, so it has worked to that degree. It’s a miracle. I spend most of the day running around the streets after people and doing interviews. In the evening, I sit down to supper, and then I write. The golden rule is that I can’t go to sleep until it’s done. People sometimes think that I knock off six stories in advance and press a button each day, but it isn’t like that at all. I may write interviews up a few days later, but it appeals to me that the Gentle Author has no choice but to write a story every day. I’m aware that it’s an excessive way to live but my experience has taught me that life is excessive.
Tim Rich – Your interviewees tell you remarkable things about their lives. How do you earn their trust?
The Gentle Author – You have to be open-hearted and honest, and you hope people see that it is just you, and that there’s no ulterior motive – and that no one’s paying you to do it. That you are doing it for love. People are wisely suspicious of writers, so I commonly send someone a piece I have already written and they can see what the outcome of being interviewed will be like.
Tim Rich – You write about the tension between tradition and change, such as the spiraling rents that have threatened to push out merchants like Paul Gardner.
The Gentle Author – It’s very difficult to trace what’s a right or wrong way for change to happen, but it’s vital that good things don’t get destroyed. For me, Paul Gardner, the Market Sundriesman, incarnates the essence of Spitalfields. Unless you have gone and shaken hands with Paul Gardner you can’t really say you have been to Spitalfields. His shop is where all the small traders in East London go to get their bags. What happened in Paul’s case was that, after my story, the landlords relented in their original demand for an excessive rent increase and showed themselves to be enlightened, recognising he is a special case. I hope people appreciate that the things which make this place distinctive are worth holding on to. One of the lessons revealed by the crash in the City was that the short-term profit motive is destructive and people need to take a longer-term view.
Tim Rich – You seem to revel in those lively nights out with the Bunny Girls and the trannies and the boys’ club reunions, but how do you feel about Spitalfields on a Saturday night – the drinkers and clubbers?
The Gentle Author – I think it’s a beautiful phenomenon. I often go out and walk the streets just to see the crowds on a Saturday night. Nothing has changed much there. In the 1860s The Eagle Tavern on the City Road was getting 12,000 people turning up a night and there were complaints about the crowds then. I think the young people who dress up and come to show off their outfits on Brick Lane embody a wonderful flowering of culture. So many people compete for ownership of this place, but the truth is that it belongs to everybody and nobody. There is a magic in Spitalfields, but if you love the area you must also be generous to others who love it too.
Tim Rich – Will there be enough space in your life to do other types of writing, as well as your daily report?
The Gentle Author – Dickens wrote six or seven stories a week for Household Words, but he also wrote the novels of Dickens as well. My background is in fiction, and originally I envisaged that there would be a chapter of a novel by me on the first of the month through the year. That has been sidelined, but as I get more confident and more in control of what I’m doing it could resurface. I’m attracted to the idea that the Gentle Author might have fictional adventures.
Tim Rich – What about visits to other places far from Spitalfields?
The Gentle Author – I am a favoured person in that I have had so many experiences and lived so many lifetimes in my life already. I remember, I went to Los Angeles for the Millennium and I was with a friend in a car on New Year’s Eve, and we turned left onto the freeway into oncoming traffic. She said, “We’re going to die.” And I said, “I don’t mind because I’ve done so much in my life, but what about your son?” There are lots of places I would like to go back to – Beijing, Cuba – but what I do now forces me to live in the day. My mind is so crowded I don’t have much space to think about anything else.
Tim Rich – You said something curious in a story on Dennis Severs’ house, which was, “Much as I love a good chat, I have many times wished that I never had to speak again.”
The Gentle Author – I think talking is hard. We take people’s words to be the expression of who they are. But I have always felt, with me, that was a contradiction because I didn’t feel that in speech I could represent who I was. That was why I began to write, because by writing down I could wrestle with words and become more truthful to who I am. So yes, I think it would be wonderful if I could get through the rest of my life without talking. I once lived on an island in the Outer Hebrides. I was the only inhabitant and I had to row forty-five minutes to the shore to get my mail. I would not see people for months on end and I did so much writing then. Your internal monologue becomes much more apparent when all the interference of external conversations is gone. Walking is very important in that respect too. I long for the release of the mind.
Tim Rich – So, writing is a release from the deluge of thoughts in your head.
The Gentle Author – Yes. For me, the act of writing is writing it down. There are no drafts. Writing is the act of recording an internal monologue. Coming back to the notion of the mind talking to itself – for me writing is the outcome of an unquiet mind, I suppose.
Tim Rich – How has Spitalfields Life changed your life?
The Gentle Author – I walk down the street and sometimes people lean out of windows to wave and come out and shake my hand. It is a beautiful thing, yet for that to happen in the middle of this huge city is bizarre. Generally, I don’t understand why people don’t talk to each other more. I think this is a political construct, this situation where we are all alienated from one another. A book that was important to me as a student was Raymond Williams’ Culture and Society. I think one of the outcomes of mass distribution through the printing press in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was that it made everybody strangers to each other. We see all those people out there as ‘the masses’. It’s rubbish. It’s a lie. The hope of the internet is that it allows everyone to talk to each other again, and not be strangers.

Billy Bush of Access Hollywood garnered an exclusive interview with Kate during her daily dance rehearsal. Interesting revelation – Kate shared that her sister is babysitting the kids during Kate’s time away in LA for DWTS this week.
Kate and Tony were totally charming during the interview, in my opinion. I thought it was interesting that Kate shared that her sister is watching over the “eight little Brunos.” I guess Kate does stay in contact with family members who don’t start hate blogs against her. She also admitted that she has a hard time keeping her concentration and smiling at the same time. Tony Dovolani is very sweet during the interview — he steps in to say that many others have the same problem (I am not surprised).
Cutest moment – Tony and Billy helping Kate on with her strappy dance shoes. Kate (never at a loss for words) suggests that she needs a foot message!
What did you all think of the interview? Are you excited for next week’s show?

LTG Link, the Lithuanian Railways passenger transport company, signed a contract with Fortevento, operating under a joint management agreement and with Estonian enterprise Turnit on the launch a new ticketing system.
From this autumn, the train tickets will become available for the users through a mobile ticketing app, on the updated website and at the ticket vending machines available at railway stations.
The new ticketing system will be acquired on the software as a service (SaaS) basis. The agreement is signed for the period of 5 years, with a maximum value of EUR 7 million.
“This innovation will provide a significantly better customer experience – the travel tickets will become available easier and faster,” Linas Baužys, the CEO of LTG Link said.
The new ticketing system will change the ticket acquisition and the way passengers can review their travel planning. Through a personal account, a passenger can purchase tickets and will be able to review its data planning, to receive major change notifications, using LTG Link’s dynamic pricing offers. The customer will be also part of a loyalty programme. The rail passenger operator says that in the future plans to integrate the mobile app with the other transport systems to provide passengers a door–to–door travel.
“If we know our customers better, understand their needs and habits, we will be able to create and develop our services more effectively. The new ticketing system will be adjusted for all passengers, including to those with individual needs”, Linas Baužys explains.
In the last eight years, the Estonian company Turnit has built and improved its cloud-based ticket reservation solution and it is currently used by more than 40 operators, including Transdev, Vy Group, Lux Express, Eurolines. Turnit has developed a “platform that offers customer experience through all modern sales channels – the mobile app, website, vending machines, ticket offices and on board sales module, while guaranteeing the highest level of data security,” Andres Osula, the CEO of Turnit said.
