VooDoo franchise certainly worth saving in NOLA
History will tell you when the AFL steps in to take over a team and try to place an owner, the results are iffy at best. When the league under Jerry Kurz placed an owner, things like this or this have happened. Less fortunate franchises have just merely disappeared after getting league assistance, a la the San Antonio Talons after last season. Others have elected to drop into lower leagues just like what the Iowa Barnstormers did when they moved to the IFL for 2015.
There is one success story to tell, though. The Orlando Predators were under league control for much of the 2014 season after a failed ownership stint led by David Pearsall. The league took control and began searching for a new owner. The search ended with David Siegel purchasing the team.
Since then, Siegel has restored Orlando's franchise for sure. The Predators are back at the Amway Center after a season playing on the campus of UCF, and though they are having their worst season of attendance in their history while playing in Orlando's premier arena, there is no shame in their average turnstile count of 10,822 fans per game.
With apologies to the Outlaws, they're a lost cause as I see it. The city of Las Vegas is a horrible sports town due to the fact that there are so many more transients than residents on a regular basis, and the locals who are there don't want to go near the Strip to get to games at the Thomas & Mack Center. There's a reason that there are no major sports teams in Sin City.
Furthermore, I've long preached that cities which have failed with the AFL in the past shouldn't get new AFL teams. Las Vegas was an abject failure twice in this league, once with the Las Vegas Sting (who averaged 5,733 fans per home game at first the MGM Grand then the Thomas & Mack), who moved to Anaheim after two seasons in 1994 and 1995, and once with the Las Vegas Gladiators (who averaged 8,979 fans per home game, first at the Thomas & Mack, then at the Orleans Arena), who moved to Cleveland after five seasons in 2003-2007.
The Outlaws were more or less bulled into playing this season when it became clear that both the San Antonio Talons and the Barnstormers weren't going to be in the AFL in 2015, and they were put together far too quickly to legitimately work.
The VooDoo though, are worth saving.
The city of New Orleans is a fantastic town. We know that Louisianans love their football; just look at how many people they cram into Tiger Stadium for LSU football or how many go to Saints games at the Superdome. This is the South. It's SEC country. Football is a culture down here.
Furthermore, there's proof that New Orleans works for the AFL. The two years the New Orleans Night existed, the team drew relatively well – never worse than 7,425 fans at the Superdome for games over two seasons. The first incarnation of the VooDoo was awesome when Tom Benson owned the team, too. Sure, there were ties to the Saints at that point, but you're telling me that a team which averaged over 15,000 fans per game for four seasons can't prove to sustain itself seven years later?
You don't need to be a genius to figure out what's wrong with the VooDoo right now.
No disrespect intended to Dan Newman, but he was the last one standing of the de facto af2 owners when the league was reborn in 2010. All of the rest of the previous af2 owners either sold their teams, moved their teams into lower leagues or folded, and many tried moving once before folding.
That's what happened with the VooDoo. Even though you won't see it in their official record books, this team currently on the field isn't really the New Orleans VooDoo. It's really the Bossier-Shreveport Battle Wings.
The Battle Wings were around for a good, long time in the af2, as they played from 2001 through 2009, then "graduated" up to the AFL in 2010 before moving to New Orleans. They never had great attendance, averaging less than 5,000 fans per game in each of their seasons outside of their expansion year.
After a bad 2010 season which saw the team average 3,967 fans in attendance and famously had its quarterback not make the road trip to Tampa in the middle of that season, Newman ceased operations with the Battle Wings and opened up shop in New Orleans once again as the VooDoo.
"The reason this is happening is the Arena Football League recognizes how passionate the New Orleans market is about football. Proof of that is the success of the Saints and the success of the VooDoo when they were around," Jason Coffel, then the team's vice president of operations, told NOLA.com.
But unfortunately, it wasn't just a matter of "build it, and they will come."
The VooDoo did have some moderate success at the turnstiles in 2011. They averaged over 8,100 fans per game in spite of their 3-15 record, and they topped out at 9,359 fans in their regular season finale. Then again, many of their games were on local television at that point as well. There were also billboards around town at times, and there was at least some in the way of advertising being done.
What's left now just four years later is basically just a shell of a franchise hanging onto the hopes that the VooDoo name can carry it through each and every season.
Newman has completely stripped the staff down. Literally, all that's left working for the VooDoo right now is a general manager (Brandon Rizzuto), football operations (Hayley Asaro) and public relations (Chip Merritt). There are a few interns and two ticket sales representatives.
Games are no longer on television. There isn't a lick in the way of advertising out there in the entire New Orleans area.
Not surprisingly, attendance has hit an all-time low for the franchise as a result, and many of the games now have fewer in attendance than the Battle Wings had when they were in Shreveport.
But that doesn't mean that matters can't be revived in New Orleans. A prospective owner will surely need to open up their wallets just a bit. In a report in the Orange County Register, each team in the AFL made an estimated $2 million in revenues, per AFLPU executive director, Ivan Soto.
Clearly, the VooDoo are on the lower end of that scale just based on the fact that they have the lowest attendance in the league. And, even with that, ends aren't being met, which is why the league has had to step in and pay bills.
Just based on my accounting background and knowledge of some of the ins and outs of the financial side of the Arena Football League, I would guess that it would take an owner willing to come in with no more than $5 million to save this franchise. $2 million or so might be enough to get started.
Of course, raising $5 million is really easy to say knowing that I don't have a stake in the team or that type of money lying under my mattress. However, there are plenty of people in New Orleans who do, and it only takes one (or one group) to save this franchise.
It would surely be unrealistic to believe that the VooDoo could ever return to 16,000 people in the Smoothie King Center. There is just too much ill-will from the past, and too many fans have been turned off by cost-cutting measures. Plus, no matter what any AFL executives might tell you, the product on the field just isn't what it used to be back in the mid-2000s. A lesser product will have lesser demand.
The New Orleans Pelicans averaged 16,677 fans per game in 2015. The New Orleans Zephyrs of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League averaged 4,791 fans per game in 2014. Theoretically, the VooDoo should fall somewhere in the middle, knowing that their games are being played mostly on the weekend.
Go look at what other franchises have done who were successful in the mid-2000s. Orlando went from averaging around 13,000 fans per game then to around 11,000 fans per game now. Tampa Bay dipped from around 15,000 fans on average to just under 12,000 on average, and there could have been 18,000 people at the game this past week against Orlando had Mother Nature not interfered. Arizona went from around 11,000 per game to just over 10,000 per game. San Jose and Philadelphia took bigger dips of around 4,000 fans per game on average from the mid-2000s until today.
However, if the VooDoo were able to "just" lose we'll say 5,000 fans per game from what they averaged through 2008, you'd still be talking about a conservative 10,000 fans per game. That's at least 6,000 more tickets sold per game, and at an average price of around $12 per ticket -- just shy of $650,000 in revenue for the season.
If you believe Soto's $2 million of income per year estimate, that's 32 percent of a team's gross revenue for the entire season. We're talking tangible numbers here.
I've been one to be down on markets all across this league. I don't believe that teams in places like Atlanta, Chicago, Milwaukee, Salt Lake City… pretty much anywhere which had an AFL team which completely floundered before its exit… would ever work again, and the league would be foolish in my estimation to try putting teams in those places. But this market in New Orleans, though clearly poisoned by the cost-cutting measures of Newman, doesn't have to just die the same death that all those cities I mentioned before did.
This is a market worth saving, and it's a market that the AFL badly needs to avoid basically cutting off the three Florida teams from the rest of the league. It would behoove commissioner Scott Butera to try to keep business going in the Bayou for as long as he can before pulling the plug in an effort to find New Orleans' version of David Siegel.


A ball of mass 11.2 g is dropped from rest at a height of 78 cm above the surface of oil that fills a barrel to a depth 49 cm. The ball reaches the bottom of the barrel with a speed of 1.48 m/s. What is the change in the internal energy of the system ball + oil? So, I used the change in Eint = -change in U - change K. For change in U, I did mg(Hf)-mg(Hi)=.0112(9.8)(0)-.0112(9.8)(.49) = -.0537824 For change in K, I did m(Vf)^2/2-m(Vi)^2 = .0112(1.48)^2-.0112(3.909987)^2 = -.07334655 I then subtracted did -change in U - change in K = --.0537824--.07334655 = .12712895. However, this is not the correct answer. :-/ Thanks!

A former University of Iowa employee, who was fired because she was in the car when her husband “stole” parking, now is fighting for unemployment pay and some legal professionals say she has a case.
The woman’s unemployment insurance appeal raises questions about discipline of an employee who is present when a rule is broken versus being an active participant, and additional questions since the case involves a husband and wife, some say.
Danielle Hodges, 22, a former medical assistant II, was fired without warning from the university along with her husband on Nov. 7. Her husband, who is not named in the unemployment insurance appeal case file, parked on two occasions in late October in a prohibited patient-only parking lot outside the emergency treatment center and used an unauthorized code to exit , according to her case file.
Hodges committed misconduct in violating the university policy that prohibits stealing by parking in the prohibited lot and received the benefit of being closer to her work building than the designated parking lot, according to the case file.

The hotly contested immigration reform bill collapsed on the Senate floor Thursday, after appearing to survive challenges from detractors in both parties. The measure fell 15 votes short of a move to curtail debate and move toward a final vote. That leaves it stalled, although the New York Times reports it may be revived later this year.
The failure of the bill, a bipartisan balancing act that would have tightened borders while offering a route to citizenship to millions of illegal aliens, is a major disappointment for President Bush, as well as the rare coalition that labored to craft it. "This matter is on life support but it is not dead," said Arlen Specter, an architect of the bill.

or an earbud. Also there is the old saying electricity takes the path of least resistance. Actually it takes all paths. The high value resistor would have the headphone connected across it and the low value resistor would be the ear bud connection. Let's take a look at those voltage and current values.
First the high Z tap. How much power would 30mv at 30ua be?Would it be enough to drive the headset?
Now I just need a little shop time for the build.

Sheffield United hero Mark Duffy has described the "unbelievable" feeling of netting in a Steel City derby victory over Wednesday at Hillsborough.
Substitute Duffy netted a crucial goal just 107 seconds after Lucas Joao had pulled Wednesday level at 2-2, despite United going 2-0 ahead early on.
And Duffy, asked to describe his thought process before unleashing the stunning strike to put United back in the lead, told The Star: "I checked twice but to be honest, I don't like swinging with my left foot.
"I had a look up and the only pass on was a difficult ball through the defender's legs, so I decided I was going to absolutely lace it as hard as I could and the goalkeeper couldn't get a hand to it.
"It was an unbelievable feeling; the adrenaline running through my body for 20 seconds or so after the goal was priceless. If you could bottle that and sell it, you'd be a rich man."

Will CBD Oil Make Me Fail A Drug Test? The person ordering the drug test may request to have CBD added to the record of gear being screened for. Nevertheless, this see here now is unlikely, especially in states where CBD is legal. Full-spectrum CBD is extensively obtainable. Merchandise vary from oils, tinctures, and edibles, to topical creams and serums.
Since drug exams check for the presence of THC, pure CBD will not make you fail a drug check. Nonetheless, the CBD industry remains to be largely unregulated and plenty of CBD products contain different compounds due to processing and extraction.
All CBD and Hemp merchandise are consumables and no returns might be accepted. Do your analysis earlier than shopping for a selected CBD product. Look out for lab outcomes on-line to establish the percentage of each Cbd Oil Drug Test ingredient in the product. Based in 2014 by a gaggle of well being-conscious plant medicine aficionados, NuLeaf Naturals is considered one of America’s high pioneering hemp CBD oil companies.
Usually, CBD resides in blood for 5-7 days Nonetheless, if people consumption a excessive dosage of CBD or if folks have possessed a gradual metabolism, the chemical might current inside for even about 1 month. DOTHAN Ala.(WTVY)- Cannabidiol oil is turning into very popular around the world and some have raised concern on whether or not it is hindering individuals from passing drug tests.
Theoretically, CBD shouldn’t show up on a drug check. However, because most CBD products are categorised as a complement, it’s not regulated for safety and purity. Which means that contamination of the CBD with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) may and does happen, and this will show up on a drug check, relying on the cutoff stage of the take a look at and other components listed under.
Companies and legislation enforcement places of work could ask laboratories to develop drug assessments delicate to CBD. In the mean time, although, it would not appear that many organizations care about testing for CBD. It’s subsequently unlikely that this may develop into a concern.
from the Netherlands evaluated the accuracy of the labels offered on eighty four CBD-only products bought on-line. The researchers detected THC in 18 of the merchandise tested. People who have jobs that require them to take drug exams, and those that have to have regular drug screenings for different causes, usually wonder if taking CBD could cause them to have a optimistic consequence and induce legal ramifications.
Because it turns out, relying on the supply of the cannabis that is used to provide the CBD oil, some products do include traces of THC (together with low-quality isolates and lots of full-spectrum tinctures). Of course, nobody desires to fail a drug take a look at – so let’s investigate the highest reasons CBD customers fail a drug test.
CBD is extraordinarily fashionable but there are still a whole lot of questions. While drug testing is more outstanding within Does Cbd Show Up On A Drug Test the U.S. with new impaired driving rules coming into play it could turn out to be a problem for Canadians using authorized hashish products.
CBD oil is an unregulated product. At Botanic Alternate options in Chicago’s Logan Sq. neighborhood, owner Tom Fisher mentioned they have heard there’s a small amount of people having hassle Does Cbd Show Up On Drug Test with employment drug exams. One consumer failed a take a look at after using 100mg of a full-spectrum CBD oil tincture per day for seizures for an unknown amount of time.
Discuss together with your employer. That is what labored for J.C., in Nevada, after he tested positive for marijuana use. Armed with documentation from his doctor that he was taking CBD to deal with anxiousness and insomnia, he met with firm Cbd Oil Drug Test co-founder Matt Ross, chief operating officer of the Slumber Yard—a website that tracks user experiences with shopping for and utilizing mattresses—and explained why he was taking it. He even took the bottle in for his employer to see.

Beyond fifth generation (B5G) communication networks and computation paradigms in the edge are expected to be integrated into power grid infrastructures over the coming years. In this sense, AI technologies will play a fundamental role to efficiently manage dynamic information flows of future applications, which impacts the authorization policies applied in such a complex scenario. This article studies how digital twins can evolve their context awareness capabilities and simulation technologies to anticipate faults or to detect cyber-security issues in real time, and update access control policies accordingly. Our study analyzes the evolution of monitoring platforms and architecture decentralization, including the application of machine learning and blockchain technologies in the smart grid, toward the goal of implementing autonomous and self-learning agents in the medium and long term. We conclude this study with future challenges on applying digital twins to B5G-based smart grid deployments.

In Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) scenarios, where a plethora of IoT technologies coexist with consolidated industrial infrastructures, the integration of security mechanisms that provide protection against cyber-security attacks becomes a critical challenge. Due to the stealthy and persistent nature of some of these attacks, such as Advanced Persistent Threats, it is crucial to go beyond traditional Intrusion Detection Systems for the traceability of these attacks. In this sense, Opinion Dynamics poses a novel approach for the correlation of anomalies, which has been successfully applied to other network security domains. In this paper, we aim to analyze its applicability in the IIoT from a technical point of view, by studying its deployment over different IIoT architectures and defining a common framework for the acquisition of data considering the computational constraints involved. The result is a beneficial insight that demonstrates the feasibility of this approach when applied to upcoming IIoT infrastructures.
Computers & Security Journal, vol. 87, Elsevier, 11/2019. DOI (I.F.: 3.579)
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) have become a serious hazard for any critical infrastructure, as a single solution to protect all industrial assets from these complex attacks does not exist. It is then essential to understand what are the defense mechanisms that can be used as a first line of defense. For this purpose, this article will firstly study the spectrum of attack vectors that APTs can use against existing and novel elements of an industrial ecosystem. Afterwards, this article will provide an analysis of the evolution and applicability of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) that have been proposed in both the industry and academia.

In recent years, the Smart Grid has increasingly integrated cutting-edge technologies that generate several benefits for all the stakeholders involved, such as a more accurate billing system and enhanced Demand Response procedures. However, this modernization also brings with it diverse cyber security and privacy issues, which sets the necessity for developing a security platform specifically tailored to this scenario. In this paper, we present SealedGRID, which proposes a flexible architecture that provides security services at all levels by implementing Trusted Execution Environments on their devices, together with advanced authentication and authorization mechanisms, as well as privacy preserving techniques. These technologies are presented in depth and a final security analysis is conducted, which highlights the contributions of this project.

The Smart Grid offers many benefits due to the bidirectional communication between the users and the utility company, which makes it possible to perform a fine-grain consumption metering. This can be used for Demand Response purposes with the generation and delivery of electricity in real time. It is essential to rapidly anticipate high peaks of demand or potential attacks, so as to avoid power outages and denial of service, while effectively supplying consumption areas. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture where cloud computing resources are leveraged (and tested in practice) to enable, on the one hand, the consumption prediction through time series forecasting, as well as load balancing to uniformly distribute the demand over a set of available generators. On the other and, it also allows the detection of connectivity losses and intrusions within the control network by using controllability concepts.

Advanced persistent threats pose a serious issue for modern industrial environments, due to their targeted and complex attack vectors that are difficult to detect. This is especially severe in critical infrastructures that are accelerating the integration of IT technologies. It is then essential to further develop effective monitoring and response systems that ensure the continuity of business to face the arising set of cyber-security threats. In this paper, we study the practical applicability of a novel technique based on opinion dynamics, that permits to trace the attack throughout all its stages along the network by correlating different anomalies measured over time, thereby taking the persistence of threats and the criticality of resources into consideration. The resulting information is of essential importance to monitor the overall health of the control system and correspondingly deploy accurate response procedures.

Nowadays, Smart Grid is envisaged to provide several benefits to both customers and grid operators. However, Smart Meters introduce many privacy issues if consumption data is analysed. In this paper we analyse the main techniques that address privacy when collecting electricity readings. In addition to privacy, it is equally important to preserve efficiency to carry on with monitoring operations, so further control requirements and communication protocols are also studied. Our aim is to provide guidance to installers who intend to integrate such mechanisms on the grid, presenting an expert system to recommend an appropriate deployment strategy.

The introduction of the Smart Grid brings with it several benefits to society, because its bi-directional communication allows both users and utilities to have better control over energy usage. However, it also has some privacy issues with respect to the privacy of the customers when analysing their consumption data. In this paper we review the main privacy-preserving techniques that have been proposed and compare their efficiency, to accurately select the most appropriate ones for undertaking control operations. Both privacy and performance are essential for the rapid adoption of Smart Grid technologies.

Historically Crushed: Robin Bridges on Prince Albert & King Leopold
Young Adult Romance Authors share their biggest historical crushes with RomanceatRandom readers. Today we hear from Robin Bridges, author of The Gathering Storm.
I’ve had a crush on Queen Victoria’s own Prince Charming, Prince Albert, for years. Even before I saw the movie The Young Victoria. Rupert Friend’s portrayal just made Albert even more adorable to me. Their courtship was one of true romance despite being engineered by Albert and Victoria’s uncle, King Leopold of Belgium. (We’re going to skip over the fact that Albert and Victoria were first cousins!) Victoria wrote that he was “extremely handsome; his hair is about the same colour as mine; his eyes are large and blue, and he has a beautiful nose and a very sweet mouth with fine teeth; but the charm of his countenance is his expression, which is most delightful.” (Weintraub, Stanley (1997). Albert: Uncrowned King. London: John Murray. ISBN 0-7195-5756-9)
(Queen Victoria’s match-making Uncle Leopold was something of a hottie in his younger days as well!) King Leopold hoped by marrying his niece to his nephew he could ensure England’s support for his small, newly-formed kingdom of Belgium. But Albert defied his uncle and encouraged Victoria to put England’s interests first. He was a progressive thinker, and while he did not share equal power with the queen, he was a supporter of social and industrial reform during her reign.
In The Katerina Trilogy, Grand Duke George Alexandrovich is willing to defy his imperial parents to be with Katerina and encourages her to pursue her own dreams. The real George Alexandrovich was related to Prince Albert indirectly. Albert’s son Edward grew up to marry George’s aunt, Princess Alexandra of Denmark. However, in all of the tangled family trees of European royalty, I could not find a common ancestor of the two gentlemen. (If someone can find an ancestor they shared in common, I’ll send you a Katerina Trilogy swag package with bookmarks and stickers from both THE GATHERING STORM and THE UNFAILING LIGHT!)
|By day, Robin Bridges is a mild-mannered writer of fantasy and paranormal fiction for young adults. By night, she’s a pediatric nurse. Robin lives on the Gulf Coast with her husband, one soon-to-be teenager, and two slobbery Mastiffs. She likes playing video games and watching Jane Austen movies.

Strip-tilled silage corn yields more than no-till, zone-till
Strip-tilled corn yielded more than 3 tons per acre than no-tilled and zone-tilled in a 2011 research study by the University of Vermont.
While the difference was not statistically significant, strip-tilled corn yielded 16.9 tons per acre vs. 14.0 tons per acre for zone-till and 13.9 tons per acre for no-till.
When harvested in October, the strip-tilled corn had a final stand of 26,717 plants per acre, vs. 25,555 for no-till and 23,329 for zone-till. Dry-matter content was virtually identical for strip-tilled and no-tilled corn, while less for zone-tilled.
Strip-tilled: 48.7% dry matter
No-Tilled: 48.4% dry matter
Zone-tilled: 46.1% dry matter
The University of Vermont Extension’s Northwest Crops and Soils Program conducted the corn trial at Borderview Farm in Alburgh. The soil was a rocky Benson silt loam.
The corn was planted into a winter-rye cover crop. There were four replications of the plots, which were 45 feet long. The three different tillage treatments were all planted with Mycogen TMF2Q298, an 89-day relative-maturity hybrid, at 34,000 seeds per acre on May 31.
The strip-till plots were prepared with a Blu-Jet Coulter Pro and planted with a John Deere 1750 corn planter. The no-till plots were planted with a John Deere 1750 corn planter, and the zone-till plots were planted with a White 6100 zone-till planter.
The strip-till and no-till plots each had four 30-inch rows and were 12 feet wide. The zone-till plots had six 30-inch rows and were 15 feet wide. A 10-20-20 starter fertilizer was applied at 260 pounds per acre to the strip-till and no-till plots. A liquid 9-18-9 starter fertilizer was applied at 5 gallons to the acre in the zone-till plots. A pre-plant glyphosate application was made at a rate of 2 quarts per acre to all plots.
Ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) was sidedressed at a rate of 100 pounds available nitrogen per acre on July 8, according to results from a pre-sidedress nitrate test. Populations were again counted immediately before harvesting the corn plots on Oct. 7.
The 2011 growing season included many weather extremes in Vermont. In April and May, excessive rainfall left soils saturated and, in many cases, delayed planting. June and July, in contrast, were hot and dry. July had 0.29 inches less precipitation than the 30-year average. In August, precipitation levels were extremely high (10.23 inches for the month, which is 6.38 inches above average). Tropical Storm Irene brought severe wind and record rainfall.

Devon offers enough treats for the senses to make a holiday spent in this scenic region a one-of-a-kind experience.
For example, summer 2014 entertainments include The Great Garden Quest at RHS Garden Rosemoor, distinguished South West artists showcased at the Thelma Hulbert Gallery, a 100-metre swamp walk at the Ottery St. Mary and the Gara Rock Trail in East Portlemouth, sure to delight the pickiest youngsters. On the other hand, Family Adventure Packages leave the planning to YHA organizers and Devon’s beach schools make sure children are exhausted after days of splashing in water.
But let’s say you’re lucky enough to leave the kids with Gran and you’re off on holiday to Devon for adults only. Take in the International Blacksmiths Festival, tour the Brixham fish market on the Quay, partake of a thoroughly British Ramblers walk on Whitsand Beach or enjoy Whitleigh Arts’ A Bit of a Do if you’re on the plus side of 50–once you’ve explored the Royal Albert Memorial Museum on Queen Street, of course.
There’s so much more to be said about Devon’s diverse menu of entertainments that we’d fill a guide book to describe them all, so use this link to see what’s on the horizon if you’re planning a visit to create a personal itinerary ( Whats On in Devon ). Done?
Luxurious Devon Getaways
Time to explore the real reason you’ve selected Devon as your holiday choice: four luxury hotels offer sensory experiences that are so diverse, you won’t have a problem deciding which most appeals to your sensibilities!
Craving Castles? Bovey Castle staffers know a thing or two about treating guests like royalty, so anticipate being spoiled if you book lodgings at this Devon landmark. Bovey is known for remarkable views of Dartmoor National Park from guest room windows of beautifully-appointed rooms. You won’t have to leave the premises to enjoy world class pampering, dining and amenities, either.
Play the PGA golf course if this is your passion or forget the exercise and choose from the Sundari Spa’s menu of services. Children on premises? Indeed. But our youngest guests are seriously well-behaved! The castle’s Oak Bar is helmed by mixologists so you don’t have to leave Bovey for cocktails, but if you want to explore Devon activities, festivals and sites nicely compete with Bovey’s pool, sauna, sporting courts and manicured grounds and gardens.
The Edwardian Grill–an Art Deco enclave home to classically-trained chefs and a sommelier who never met a vintage bottle of wine he couldn’t identify and pour—features leisurely dining from a menu of seasonal dishes prepared to perfection. If you’re not in the mood to dress for dinner at the Edwardian, you can make the Castle Bistro your home-away-from-home when you get hungry. Don’t miss the daily falconry display.
All Manor of Luxury. When ghosts of years past stroll the grounds of Lewtrenchard Manor, they’re rather benign, but who can blame them for sticking around? This stately hotel offers everything a guest could desire, so whether you choose to book a room or suite, you might decide that there’s too much going on under roof to leave the Manor, no matter what’s going on in Devon.
Awaken to landscapes showcasing the secluded valley beneath Dartmoor’s primitive tors. Explore the building’s historical architecture in the Jacobean style and wander breathtaking gardens designed by Walter Sorel. If you’re hungry, it’s a short distance between your lodging and the stately oak-paneled restaurant situated on premises that’s taken too many culinary awards to list here.
Lewtrenchard offers history (as referenced in the Domesday Book), luxe lobby appointments like stained glass windows and impressive fireplaces and since this is a family run establishment, expect personal attention with classic amenities. By the way, your hosts really won’t mind it if you leave Lewtrenchard long enough to enjoy Devon’s seasonal menu of events, fests, shops and galleries. They know that returning to this landmark hotel at day’s end is one of the most wonderful reasons to stay there.
Sojourn in a Private Valley. Buckland Tout-Saints has all of the charm of a 17th Century manor with the efficiencies of a 21st Century hotel. Gracious guest rooms are beautifully appointed and decorated in traditional woods and textiles.
If you choose to leave your cozy room, make it a point to take tea at Buckland Tout-Saints. Devonshire cream tea, scones, jam, finger sandwiches, cakes and biscuits await—but, if tea isn’t your preference, your hosts will pour the bubbly instead. Dine in the Queen Anne Restaurant without losing your head or alternate between the Queen Anne and the Blue Room, depending upon your appetite and mood. Both restaurants are overseen by world-class chefs, so dine there nightly and never run out of menu options. Once you finish ambling around the environs of this spectacular William and May country house hotel, discover the grounds of the only hotel in Devon that’s tucked into its very own valley.
Over 4.5 acres of gardens and woodland offer opportunities to reconnect with Mother Nature, particularly if your job is your life and down time is infrequent at best. Having toured the nooks and crannies of the gardens, walk the short distance to the sea coast where international sailing events in Salcombe city center draw crowds. Alternately, consult the hotel’s front desk staff of see what’s been planned for visitors and townsfolk during your stay in Devon.
A Stone’s Throw from Heaven. Step inside The Thurleston and you’ll immediately understand why it won a coveted 2010 ‘Large Hotel of the Year’ Enjoy England Award for Excellence. Generations of Grose family members have held the keys to the front door since 1896, but this is no quaint, tea-cozy-littered inn; it’s a landmark hotel with no equal.
Nineteen acres of sub-tropical beauty put traditional English gardens on notice that they’d better mind their reputations. Stroll the Blue Flag sandy beach overlooking the thurled-stone rock that lent this luxury hotel its name. Picture windows in guest suites delight the eye and senses. Given close proximity to the sea, guests can choose Sea View rooms, but be forewarned, these are booked far in advance. The Margaret Amelia Restaurant serves world-class cuisine, or enjoy lighter fare at the al fresco Rock Pool or Terrace Bar in season. Stop by the Village Inn for a pint. The 16th century pub is also owned by the Grose family.
If you’re keen on sports, you’ve found paradise at the Thurleston: badminton, croquet, tennis, squash and golf will entertain you non-stop, but don’t check out until you visit The Voyage Spa, a state-of-the-art respite where all manner of relaxing and beautifying amenities are on the menu. You say you want to see the rest of Devon and enjoy the city’s summer activities? We strongly recommend doing that before you let the reflexologists and masseuses at the Thurleston get their hands on you.

Time to honour our gradely hill – The Pike, our beloved nearby green hill in Lancashire.
It is a part of the landscape I see first thing in the morning and last thing at night, if I crane my neck out off our driveway.
The rugged peak rises up 363 metres high. It is highest point on Winter Hill and on the West Pennine Moors.
One etymological definition of the name Rivington Pike dates back from Old English c1250AD. Hreof plus ing means rugged hill and pic means a pointed eminence.
On a clear day like today, from this prominent local landmark it is possible to see many other local landmarks such as the Blackpool Tower, the Lake District Mountains, the Welsh Mountains and the Isle of Man.
Even on an average day, it is one of the most popular walks in Lancashire.
Best Lancashire Walk — The Pike On Good Friday
Today, on Good Friday, it holds a special significance for us locals.
From days of yore, walking up a local hill on this particular Friday every year, has Judeo-Christian religious symbolism for many, relating to the crucifixion of Jesus of Mount Calvary.
The egg rolling too has multiple religious interpretations such as a parallel to the holy trinity with the shell, the yolk and the albumen.
By Victorian times, according to local genealogist Kim Hunter, people originally walked up The Pike not at Easter but at Whitsun.
In more recent times, there has been a tradition to walk up the hill going back many generations, to touch each of the four corners of the Pike Tower.
The Grade II listed building Pike Tower was built on the site of an ancient beacon using its stone for the foundations.
It was built as a square plan hunting lodge measuring 4.9m wide and 6.1m high. The materials were brought in by horse and cart from Warrington and windows and glass came from Chorley.
Rolling your decorated egg down the steep slope is another classic Easter tradition.
And for the more robust, there is also a rather bruising tradition of rolling yourself down the steepest part of the bank, as if you were an egg.
It looks very painful and I wouldn’t urge anyone, let alone kids, to try this at home or on any local hill at all. Especially not the steep sides of The Pike.
Have a Good Friday!
Please get in touch to let me know of any other local traditions connected to this part of the landscape.
Lancashire Day is on 27th November every year.
REAL Lancashire includes Barrow-in-Furness to Manchester. Reet.
Didn’t know about the rolling down the hill bit. Sounds as dangerous as Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake in Gloucester.
I’m making a habit of getting up t’ Pike Sunday mornings now. The real trick is making sure you don’t lose your hat when you get to the top. Is windy.

Speaking sooner than the unusual series, which displays in Original Zealand on TVNZ 1, a defiant Clarkson, revealed he had been told to be nicer to these on the show veil.
He added: “But final twelve months there were some very dead contestants who did no longer warrant any niceness.”

The Chinese are significantly stronger than Germany, especially in terms of market size and the number and strength of big data players, which are particularly important for the implementation of car-connected innovations and services. The demand for CC technologies in China is almost seven times greater than in Germany. The worldwide ranking for market size and digital strength of the country continues to lead China by a large margin ahead of the USA, while the German index value for market size and digital strength has halved within a year.
Stefan Bratzel, head of the study, comments: "In the networked mobility of the future, cooperation between automobile manufacturers and big data players is playing an increasingly important role. Chinese manufacturers are profiting more and more from the enormous digital strength of their home country. For German automobile manufacturers, on the other hand, the digital weakness of their country of origin could prove to be a brake pad for further networking innovations."

After six years of crippling recession, Greek officials are hopeful that the country’s economy will grow in 2014—despite continuing sky-high unemployment and falling prices.
“I feel quite comfortable overall about the prospects of the Greek economy. We’ve succeeded after about six years to establish positive growth,” Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the Greek Minister of Administrative Reform, told CNBC on Thursday.
Greece was first hit hard by the global financial crisis in 2008 and then ran into trouble paying down its debt in 2010. The country was bailed out by the rest of Europe and the International Monetary Fund, but hopes to graduate from its loan program in 2016 without further assistance—just as Ireland and Portugal did this year.

DescriptionEvaluating spawning success in relation to habitat characteristics of nests sites provides critical information necessary to assess the effects riparian and littoral zone habitat alterations have on smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu survival and recruitment. The objective of this study was to quantitatively evaluate smallmouth bass nest site quality in lakes in order to evaluate the importance habitat features have on nesting success. We evaluated smallmouth bass eggs survival and fry production as a function of nest characteristics in four northern Wisconsin lakes from 1998 to 2000 using simple and multiple linear regression analyses. Mean smallmouth bass egg survival and fry production were significantly different (analysis of variance [ANOVA]) among lakes; nests in Big Crooked and Bear Lakes had higher egg survival and fry production than Pallette and Sanford Lakes. Relations were variable among lakes, indicating that no simple habitat feature consistently predicted nest success across lakes. Habitat features accounted for up to 27 percent (distance to nest cover) of the variation in egg survival and 50 percent (diameter of nearest log cover) on the variation in fry production. Measures of substrate size were the most predominant nest characteristic associated with variation in both egg survival and fry production among lakes but they were not significant in all lakes. Other features related to nest cover, nest position, and morphology explained some variation in egg survival and fry production but they were inconsistent across lakes. This study shows that habitat characteristics affecting smallmouth bass nesting success are extremely variable across lakes and will require further study to elucidate how habitat quality influences nesting success.

We were in the studio twice; sometime in the winter 2014. We didn’t know each other so much, but we knew the style of each other. So we played and recorded everything, from talking through playing to smoking. Some day after I tried to filter the thing and managed to mix musical moments into next 8 tracks. Have a listen.

Got smart phone? You can register to vote
Pennsylvania elections are truly coming into the digital age with the state's new Text2vote program.
This new smart phone-accessible voter registration process is good news for the thousands of people who prefer texting to talking, and could help register younger voters who already do most of their communicating by phone text.
The new feature launched by the Department of State allows anyone with a smart phone to text "PA" to "2Vote" (28683) to check their voter registration status or find an application to register to vote. The new link also lets people find their polling place, a boon for first-time voters. And there are links to county offices and the Department of State itself. New voters have just until a month from today, Tuesday, Oct. 11 to register to vote in the Nov. 8 election.
Text2vote represents another smart initiative by the administration of Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf to appeal to younger Pennsylvanians by making the voting process easier. Last year Wolf launched an online voter-reg program. About two thirds of the new registered voters were under 35.
Any presidential election year is lively, but 2016 has been an especially contentious one. Public interest is high and both candidates are using social media — which most young people access on their smart phones — to promote their messages and reach registered and potential voters.
How appropriate, then, that potential new voters in Pennsylvania can take the first step in the process of participation on their phone. The device that, above all others, represents open communication and freedom will now let new voters put their own names into the electoral system, expanding the electorate and enhancing government of, by and for the people.

Iran launches world's first herbal medicine for Alzheimer's treatment
Iranian researchers and scientists have shown the first herbal remedy to treat Alzheimer's called Melitropic. The drug was released during a ceremony at the Iranian Institute of Medicinal Plants at the Academic Center and Education, Culture and Research (ACECR) on Saturday morning.
Iranian scientists have produced the world's first herbal medicine to treat Alzheimer's disease or prevent it from progressing through relieving symptoms such as memory loss and confusion.
The drug, called Melitropic, was released during a ceremony at the Iranian Institute of Medicinal Plants at the Academic Center and Education, Culture and Research (ACECR) on Saturday morning.
Iranian Minister of Health, Hassan Qazizadeh Hashemi, the president of Jihad University, Seyed Hamidreza Tayebi and several researchers were present at the event.
Researchers have historically grounded in the country's extensive experience in treating brain disorders, used the latest related studies in the world to produce this herbal medicine.
Dr. Shamsali Rezazadeh, president of Jihad University's Institute of Medicinal Plants, said that a series of clinical trials were conducted on 42 patients with early-onset to moderate Alzheimer's symptoms to determine the effectiveness of Melitropic.
He added that Dracocephalum extract - a genus of phanerogamous plants belonging to the Lamiaceae family - was administered to those in the experimental group, patients in the control group received placebos.
Rezazadeh said that forgetfulness and recognition rates and possible side effects were analyzed after four months of studies; and the results showed an obvious and noticeable improvement in the mental state of the patients, who had been given Dracocephalum extract.
According to Rezazade, anxiety disorder and irritability symptoms had been considerably reduced among subjects in the experience group.
The president of the Institute of Medicinal Plants of Jihad University emphasized that certain measures were taken into account in order to introduce Melitropic into the world markets.

Previous studies in Portugal involve cannabis
The effects of Cannabis can improve the consumption of energy by the brain, which is deficient in Alzheimer's Disease, according to the results of a study led by Cellular Neurosciences and Biology Center (CNC), University of Coimbra (UC), Portugal and the Cajal Institute - Centre for Biomedical Research in Neurodegenerative Diseases, in Spain.
The future challenge of this discovery in mice, recently published in the journal Neuropharmacology, lies in the separation of negative and positive effects of Cannabis consumption.
CB1 and CB2 receptors
The major psychoactive ingredient of marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) acts on two receptors, "CB1" and "CB2", located in the brain, which are distinguished as "bad police and good police." The CB1 receptors are associated with neuronal death, mental disorders and addiction to various drugs or alcohol. In contrast, CB2 receptors nullify many of the negative actions of CB1, protecting neurons by promoting glucose consumption (energy) by the brain and reducing dependence on drugs.
Attila Köfalvi, first author of the article, explains that "through various laboratory techniques, we conclude that the CB2 receptor, when stimulated by chemically modified THC analogues to interact only with the CB2 receptor without activating the CB1, avoiding the psychotropic effects and keeping beneficial effects, promotes increased glucose uptake in the brain."
Effect beyond neurons
Additional experiments with other techniques showed that this effect of CB2 is not limited to neurons but extends to other brain cells that help the functioning of neurons, the astrocytes. "In the future, this discovery could pave the way for a palliative therapy in Alzheimer's disease," notes the researcher.
The international team enjoys the collaboration of the Brain Mapping CAI Multidisciplinary Institute of the Complutense University of Madrid, the Madrid Institute of Technology and Biochemical Research Institute of the National University Bahia Blanca del Sur in Argentina.
The research was funded by the Award Belard Santa Casa da Misericordia, DARPA, ERDF, NSRF - Regional Operational Programme 2007-2013 Centre with the support of Mais Centro and the European Union and Operational Programme Competitiveness Factors via the Foundation for Science and Technology.
