Editor’s Choice: A Selection of Important Works of Art
This section introduces readers to a selection of great works of art, primarily paintings of the Western World. The works chosen include some personal favourites, others which are well-known or influential in some way and yet others representative of a particular school of art. The impact of a work of art is of course many times greater when the original is seen. If possible readers should try to visit the galleries and museums housing these priceless treasures
“The Star”, Edgar Degas, 1876-77, pastel on paper,60x44cm, Musee d’Orsay, Paris
Edgar Degas (1834-1917) is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, his paintings of ballerinas being particularly popular. His works convey graceful and rapid movement against settings that show a mastery over the use of light and shade. The Star is one of his most famous works showing the star ballerina doing a solo arabesque, totally engrossed in the pure joy of the dance.

– Anxiety Disorders
Everyone experiences anxiety at some point in life but not all anxiety is the same. For some, anxiety will be fleeting and not cause major disruption to a person’s life. However, for the majority, anxiety when triggered will produce feelings of intense fear and distress so overwhelming that it prevents the individual from engaging in everyday things. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health concern in the United States. An estimated 40 million adults in the U.S., or 18%, have an anxiety disorder. Approximately 8% of children and teenagers experience the negative impact of an anxiety disorder at school and at home.
Just like with any mental illness, people with anxiety disorders experience symptoms differently. But for most people, anxiety changes how they function day-to-day. People can experience one or more of the following symptoms:
- Feelings of apprehension or dread
- Feeling tense and jumpy
- Restlessness or irritability
- Anticipating the worst and being watchful for signs of danger
- Pounding or racing heart and shortness of breath
- Upset stomach
- Sweating, tremors and twitches
- Headaches, fatigue and insomnia
- Upset stomach, frequent urination or diarrhea
Types of Anxiety Disorders
Different anxiety disorders have various symptoms. This also means that each type of anxiety disorder has its own treatment plan. The most common anxiety disorders include:
- Panic Disorder
Characterized by panic attacks—sudden feelings of terror— sometimes striking repeatedly and without warning. Often mistaken for a heart attack, a panic attack causes powerful, physical symptoms including chest pain, heart palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath and stomach upset.
Most people with specific phobias have several triggers. To avoid panicking, someone with specific phobias will work hard to avoid their triggers. Depending on the type and number of triggers, this fear and the attempt to control it can seem to take over a person’s life.
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
GAD produces chronic, exaggerated worrying about everyday life. This can consume hours each day, making it hard to concentrate or finish routine daily tasks. A person with GAD may become exhausted by worry and experience headaches, tension or nausea.
- Social Anxiety Disorder
Unlike shyness, this disorder causes intense fear, often driven by irrational worries about social humiliation–“saying something stupid,” or “not knowing what to say.” Someone with social anxiety disorder may not participate in conversations, contribute to class discussions, or offer their ideas, and may become isolated. Panic attack symptoms are a common reaction.
Scientists believe that many factors combine to cause anxiety disorders:
Some families will have a higher than average numbers of members experiencing anxiety issues, and studies support the evidence that anxiety disorders run in families. This can be a factor in someone developing an anxiety disorder.
A stressful or traumatic situation such as abuse, death of a loved one, violence or prolonged illness is often linked to the development of an anxiety disorder.
The physical symptoms of an anxiety disorder can be easily confused with other medical conditions like heart disease or hyperthyroidism. Therefore, a doctor will likely perform a carefully evaluate involving a physical examination, an interview and ordering lab tests. After ruling out a medical illness, the doctor may recommend a person see a mental health professional to make a diagnosis.
As each anxiety disorder has a different set of symptoms, the types of treatment that a mental health professional may suggest also can vary. But there are common types of treatment that are used:
- Psychotherapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Medications, including anti-anxiety medications and antidepressants
- Complementary health approaches, including stress and relaxation techniques.

Nigerian Car Shipping: Revamping the Nigerian Auto Market
Nigeria is looking to make 2015 the year it revives local auto manufacturing.
Already having the largest and youngest population on the continent, Nigeria has now also become the largest economy in Africa. Worth more than $500 billion, their economy overtook South Africa's as the 21st largest economy in the world. With the growing economy, Nigeria is looking to bring back automakers that have left factories behind some decades ago. But in order to revive auto manufacturing, lawmakers feel they have to further incentivize the automakers.
First you stop consumers from buying cars overseas
Since 2014, the Nigerian government has slowly been rolling out an import tax increase of 70% on overseas cars. Starting with the first 35% increase last February, the number of cars being shipped from the US to Nigeria has dropped by nearly 50% (Year on Year). The second 35% increase was supposed to follow on January 1st, 2015. But seeing that the automakers haven’t had enough time to structure factories and mature their production volumes, the deadline was pushed further back to April 2015.
Due to the high import taxes, overseas car shippers are currently trying their best to avoid shipping cars to the port of Lagos. Many are asking for cars to be shipped to Benin instead. Specifically the port of Benin is now seeing an influx of demand for cars from overseas. Nigerian car buyers are traveling to Benin and looking for various ways to transport their cars back home. Some are parting their cars while others are resorting to smuggling them across the border. The Nigerian government is doing their best to stop this practice but they have so far been unsuccessful.
Then you ensure the automakers begin manufacturing
To pressure the automakers into committing to their new factories, another law is being introduced in April. Any automaker selling more than 10,000 vehicles per year in Nigeria will have to begin manufacturing operations in Nigeria. Honda, Volkswagen, Tata, Coscharis Motors and Globe Motors are expected to setup factories this year. Likely to follow are more companies that are unwilling to lose the largest African market for cars.
While legislature on its own is slowing the flow of overseas cars being shipped to Nigeria, falling oil prices may wipe out the business completely. Nigeria is heavily dependent on the oil industry and with the sliding oil revenue, it is proving difficult for the government to continue functioning. If the oil prices do not rebound, the government plans to double the value-added tax on all goods. Another large tax increase will almost certainly bring the Nigerian car shipping business to a halt.

SABMiller and Molson Coors launch MillerCoors
SABMiller plc and Molson Coors Brewing Company announced overnight that they have closed the transaction to combine their U.S. and Puerto Rico operations to create MillerCoors.MillerCoors, which will begin operating as a combined entity today, will be the second largest US brewer with the scale, resources and distribution platform to succeed in the highly competitive marketplace.
“As a unified company with a world-class board and leadership team in place, MillerCoors will be able to create tremendous opportunities for innovations in products and services that will allow us to drive profitable growth,” said Pete Coors, Chairman of MillerCoors. “Personally, I am thrilled to be part of such an exciting and innovative organization and look forward to serving as the Chairman of this new business.”
Leo Kiely, Chief Executive of MillerCoors, believes the combination will stimulate the US marketplace. “MillerCoors will be entrepreneurial, with the ability to operate with speed and agility in the marketplace, backed by the powerful combined resources of two exceptionally successful companies,” he said. “We will drive profitable growth and bring new energy to the U.S. beer industry. Our focus now is to deliver on the $500 million in identified annualized cost synergies by improving sourcing across our eight major breweries, building a streamlined organization and leveraging the scale of the new company.”
The deal, symbolic of the consolidation taking place in the beer industry, is likely to result in the two largest US brewers holding almost 80% of the market, with Anheuser-Busch, which is currently trying to stave off a takeover attempt by InBev, having almost a 50 per cent share and MillerCoors holding about 29 per cent.

Debenhams has acquired a Danish department store chain for £12.3m, signalling its growing ambitions beyond the UK.
The department store chain has acquired Magasin and will sell its own-bought ranges, such as Designers at Debenhams, in the stores.
On home soil, Magasin is best known for its store in the centre of Copenhagen, which sources said is "the Harvey Nichols of Denmark".
Rob Templeman, the chief executive of Debenhams, said: "We believe the close fit between the two businesses will be mutually beneficial. Magasin is one of the most recognised brands in Denmark, with a loyal customer base and some great products."
He added: "The success of our international business demonstrates that there is demand for our own bought and Designer brands outside our home market, which we believe will complement Magasin's existing brands and deliver both outstanding value and choice to the Danish consumer."
Debenhams will run Magasin from its headquarters, in London. Mr Templeman said it would benefit from the UK department store's infrastructure and economies of scale. Formerly owned by the Icelandic investor Baugur, Magasin delivered sales of £228.7m in the year to 28 February 2009. Debenhams' management estimate it will deliver Ebitda of £15m in the financial year to the end of August 2011.
There are no current plans to rebrand the Magasin stores, as the brand has far more resonance with customers in Denmark than Debenhams does. However, Debenhams acquired nine of the Roches department stores in Ireland in 2006 and eight have now been rebranded to Debenhams.
Debenhams, which has 145 department stores in the UK and Irish Republic, has 52 international stores in 17 countries. Over the past year, it has been expanding in India and the Middle East.Reuse content

Efficacy of Fenestration Technique for Lumbar Disc Excision in Pain Relief
Objective: To determine the outcomes of lumbar disc excision by fenestration technique for pain relief in lumbar radiculopathy due to prolapsed intervertebral disc.
Methodology: This is a descriptive study conducted in a joint venture of orthopedic and neurosurgeons in a private hospital of Lahore. Study was completed in six months duration from July to December 2022. All patients presenting with lower back pain, straight leg raise test positive on <60 degrees and prolapsed disc at the level of L4/L5 or L5/S1 L discs on MRI. Those with multilevel disc prolapse, previous history of spinal surgery, cauda equine syndrome and patients with lumbar stenosis were excluded from the study. All study patients were operated under general anesthesia in knee chest position. Efficacy of the procedure was determined using Dennis Pain Scale. Important findings were documented when patient was discharged. SPSS version 20 was used for statistical analysis.
Results: 125 patients were studied including 73(58.4%) males and 52(41.6%) females. Patients with the age of 20-60 years were included in this study with the mean age of 47.3 ± 5.2 years. Most commonly involved disc level was L4-L5 in 77(61.6%) and L5-S1 in 48(38.4%) cases. Unilateral radicular pain was present in 94(75.2%) cases and bilateral pain was present in 31(24.8%) cases. According to Dennis Pain Scale out of 125 cases 78(62.4%) patients presented in Dennis pain scale P4 and among them complete recovery achieved in 70(89.7%) cases.
Conclusion: Surgical intervention is necessary in selected patients with prolapsed intervertebral disc with chronic unilateral or bilateral radicular pain. Fenestration technique for disc excision is a very good procedure for prolapsed disc.

As a kid we didn’t eat moonpies with RC Cola. Our something-sweet-and-cola combo was a Butterfinger and a Dr. Pepper, both of which my dad keeps ready for the grandkids (or us big kids) in the mini-fridge in his garage.
I had a butterfinger for my 3 o’clock sugar snack today and thought of my dad and days past. Not only did we eat Butterfinger with Dr. Pepper but we ate Butterfinger in our ice cream on occasional after-school trips to the Dairy Queen.
The third ingredient on the Butterfinger wrapper (after corn syrup and sugar) is ground roasted peanuts. Know what that means? My youngest son, who is allergic to peanuts, will never enjoy a Butterfinger and a Dr. Pepper with his PaPaw.

Estate tax nonsensePosted by Craig Westover | 9:49 AM |
Efforts to permanently repeal the estate tax failed in the Senate yesterday.
The Senate rejected a plan Thursday to permanently repeal the federal tax on inherited estates, but lawmakers continued to negotiate behind the scenes to try to find a compromise that would reduce the levy significantly.Aside from the ridiculous policy of phasing out a tax and then reinstating it -- plan your death carefully -- the estate tax debate is a great example of focusing on an issue and missing the larger principle behind it.
Voting 57-41, the Senate fell three votes short of the 60 needed to cut off debate and move to consider a Republican proposal that would have eliminated the estate tax. The levy is currently phasing out and will vanish in 2010, only to spring back to life in 2011.
The fact is, unlike Democrats claim, the revenue collected from the estate tax is inconsequential in terms of funding government programs, legitimate or otherwise. By pulling funds out of productive use, it actually diminishes tax revenues. Unlike Republicans claim, there is no widespread ravishing of family farms and businesses because of the tax. But that’s what the two sides are fighting about.
What’s the principle at stake? What we have with the estate tax is simply government looking at a class of people with wealth and saying “You have it, we want it.” The estate tax itself and the level at which it is applied are completely arbitrary. Even the progressive income tax, which is bad policy not illegitimate authority, has some rationale structure. There is no such rationale to the estate tax. The assumption is simply that all property belongs to the government, and it will determine who can keep what.
If one supports an estate tax, that is the socialist principle one is defending. It can be no other way. The estate tax should be repealed, not because of any consequences it might have, but because at its core it is totally in contradiction of American principles of private property and individual rights.

FOOTBALL; When Giants Face Eagles, Punting Greats Compete
By JOHN BRANCH
Published: December 10, 2005
Punters are measured one kick at a time, and usually ranked by the average distance of their kicks. By another measure, the punters in Sunday's game between the Giants and the Eagles are the two best in N.F.L. history.
Giants punter Jeff Feagles has punted for 59,279 yards. Eagles punter Sean Landeta has 59,521 yards. That is a combined 67.5 miles, more than two-thirds the distance between Giants Stadium and Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, where the teams will meet Sunday.
Total punting yards may be the most individual of all N.F.L. statistics, indicating great achievement for the punters and futility for their teams. In this case, Feagles and Landeta were the beneficiaries of a combined 2,798 stalled drives.
That is why Feagles, for now, is willing to remain in second place in punting yards, and would be willing to give up first place in total number of punts (1,423 to 1,375).
''Hopefully, he can go soaring past me this week,'' Feagles said. ''I don't mind not getting on the field.''
Landeta will be 44 on Jan. 6. He spent three seasons in the United States Football League, then broke into the N.F.L. and kicked for the Giants from 1985 to 1993. He has been with five teams since and was pulled out of retirement last week for his second stint with the Eagles.
He and Feagles, 39, met a few months after Landeta and the Giants won Super Bowl XXI, and a few months before Feagles and his University of Miami team began their 1987 championship season. Landeta went to Miami's spring practice at the invitation of Jimmy Johnson, the Hurricanes' coach at the time. He remembers visiting, but he does not remember the details.
Feagles does. He received an autographed photo from Landeta. But he has never told Landeta that he still has it in a scrapbook.
''That's nice to hear,'' Landeta said in a telephone interview Wednesday.
This is Landeta's 24th season as a professional punter. Feagles is in his 18th season. At their current season averages, each needs about 49 more punts to reach 61,361 yards -- the record for career passing yards, which belongs to Dan Marino. That record is far more revered than those set by Feagles and Landeta.
''I'm just happy to get a chance to keep playing,'' Landeta said. ''Whatever the numbers end up being.''

In the fast-paced world of retail, trends change as rapidly as the seasons. But there’s one fad that shows no sign of fading as high street brands prepare for the summer months – experiential store environments.
That’s the opinion of Michael Trevethan, retail marketing expert at graphic display specialist Leach. Time-precious consumers have continued to demand more from their shopping surroundings so, to combat the dominance of ecommerce, high street retailers have had to rethink their place.
“The retailers that have maintained and boosted footfall despite challenging market conditions, are those that have continued to monitor the changing tastes and preferences of the ever-more discerning consumer,” Michael explains.
“Take an appliances store, for example – it’s becoming more about the opportunity to try the product in a contextual demo area, than it is being able to see every single possible option on a shelf. This often results in the product being delivered directly to the consumer’s home or work address the following day, but this usually goes down well!”
So why will we see further retailers adopting this trend in the summer months?
“Consumers are incredibly time precious in summer, not least because they’re preparing for their holidays!” explains Michael. “So, in the fashion sector, for example, convenience has driven many people to mass-purchase from ecommerce sites, knowing they’ll return 80% of the items that inevitably don’t fit or suit them. It’s become the norm, even though it’s far from ideal.
“Some savvy high street brands have capitalised on this, offering the opportunity to try on in store, with the convenience of delivery to home or work the next day. A quick dash to the shops can therefore be followed by a trip to the cinema, a bite to eat or a night out – without consumers being burdened by heavy bags they fear will get left behind!
“Impactful window dressings – as always – play a key role in drawing people in, but we’re seeing brands going to real efforts to maintain that visual impact throughout all in-store displays too. Ambient, beautiful surroundings definitely entice people to shop!”
The movement towards refined product lines in more experiential stores represents something of a hybrid solution, bridging the gap between traditional high street retail and ecommerce, concludes Michael.
“To make way for boutique-style rails and eye-catching displays in fashion stores, for example, probably means a customer can’t try a shirt on in 10 different colours! However, they can check the style/fit and browse interactive galleries before choosing what’s right for them, knowing the perfect item will arrive in the post, the very next day.”


It won’t be long before we see school buses on the roads and groups of kids shuffling off to school.
In a change from past years, students will return to schools in August. The Fairfax County Public Schools board decided last year to approve a new calendar that will start classes the week before Labor Day. According to FCPS, that change was made “to provide more instructional time before winter break, enhanced flexibility to help students and school staff members meet college application deadlines, and to end the school year earlier in June.”
The last day of the 2017-18 FCPS school year will be June 15. Graduations will begin June 7.
New teacher training will start one week from today, while full teacher workdays begin the Monday after that. One week later, on Aug. 28, kids will get to work.
Here are some more dates to remember as we head into the new school year.
- Students will be off Friday, Sept. 22; Monday, Nov. 6; Tuesday, Nov. 7; Friday, Jan. 26; Monday, Jan. 29; Monday, April 2; and Monday, April 16 for staff work, planning and development days
- Thanksgiving Break is slated for Nov. 23-24
- Winter Break will run from Dec. 18-Jan. 1
- Spring Break will be from March 26-March 30
- Other observed holidays will be Labor Day (Sept. 4), Columbus Day (Oct. 9), Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Jan. 15), Presidents Day (Feb. 19) and Memorial Day (May 28)
FCPS has the equivalent of 13 days (78 hours) built into the calendar. A 14th missed day would not need required by state code to be made up; if there is a 15th missed day, April 16 would be considered as a makeup day.

“Rhetoric needs to be eased and the process should be moved to the negotiating table to find a solution,” Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili said at a meeting with Christian Danielsson, Personal Representative of the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, who is taking part in a political dialogue mediated by the European Union in Georgia.
The President noted she believes that Danielsson’s visit will be fruitful, and his experience will help the parties to overcome the current situation.
“The President welcomed the arrival of Christian Danielsson in Georgia and the support of the EU for negotiations and dialogue.
“The President provided Danielsson with comprehensive information on the elections in Georgia, the rights of the parties in the Parliament and the legislative instruments at their disposal.
“Danielsson noted that there is more readiness of the parties involved in the negotiations today to reach an agreement.
“The President pointed out that the process is moving in the right direction, although there are attempts to bring tension. Rhetoric needs to be eased and the process shifted to the negotiating table to find a solution.
“Danielsson noted that Georgia has always been an example of democracy and stability in the region, and this situation should not change, because it is in the national interest of the country.
“The meeting with the President was attended by the EU Ambassador to Georgia Carl Hartzell and the Adviser to the President of the European Council, Charles Michel Magdalena Grono,” reads a statement issued by the Presidential Administration.
Today, Christian Danielsson met with President Salome Zurabishvili and Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili to discuss the current political situation in the country.
He will also hold individual meetings with opposition parties.
The meeting with the representatives of the ‘United National Movement’ has already been scheduled. Members of the Party, Salome Samadashvili and Akaki Minashvili will meet with Christian Danielsson in the afternoon today.

During an interactive session with reporters in Asaba, DYC President General Chibuzor Agunwa on Tuesday charged over comments by INEC spokesman Festus Okoye that the results of the 2023 election would be manually collected.
The president general said that while the commission claimed that Okoye was misinterpreted in the report, it should not deviate from using electronic transmission of the results before the election.
“We want to reassure Nigerians that the electronic transmission of results has continued and that INEC must ensure the credibility and transparency of the process when citizens monitor the results of the polling unit on the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal in real time on Election Day . In the next election there would be no change or deviation.”
DYC chief opined that the committee should also try as much as possible to maintain its integrity in accordance with the new Electoral Law as amended in Sections 60, 62 and 64 as reiterated in the Osun and Ekiti elections to promote free and fair elections and the tendency to prevent electoral malpractice, electoral fraud and violence that Nigerian youth would not tolerate.
ALSO READ FROM CRYPTOGIST
The coalition warned all presidential candidates, governor candidates and other political positions of all political parties in the country to ensure that they erase the dream of electoral fraud from their minds as citizens. Nigerian youth will resist this in 2023, even at grassroots level.
“As a group, our mission and vision is to develop a mass movement of youth and women for participatory democracy and to promote good governance. That is the only way to choose credible leaders. We want people in rural areas to know that government belongs to all of us.”

The Legacy of Cave Paintings
The Legacy of Cave Paintings
What did early humans do with their time? Evidence discovered since the mid-nineteenth century in Western Europe suggests that they did a lot of drawing on the walls of caves. France and Spain have been the centers of an extraordinary number of cave painting discoveries. What is notable and significant about these cave paintings are the archaic depictions of animal life in pre-historic times, which our pre-human ancestors apparently encountered. While the first discoveries were made in the nineteenth century, the most spectacular discoveries were made in the last half of the twentieth century. The discovery of these cave paintings suggests to modern researchers a sophistication and artistic sensibility of prehistoric humanity, which was once unthinkable among anthropologists. This pre-historic art suggests that our ancestors were not only aware of their environment, but were probably very articulate.
Marcellino de Sautuola, at Altamira, Spain, discovered the first significant cave paintings in 1875. The findings were so extraordinary and contrary to popular thought about early and pre-humans that most experts refused to believe they were Paleolithic. Later, around 1900, similar discoveries at Les Eyzies, France, were finally accepted and recognized as one of the most surprising and exciting archaeological discoveries of all time. A gradual succession of similar finds has continued throughout the twentieth century. Arguably the most famous of these was discovered in 1940 at Lascaux, France.
The Lascaux cave was discovered by four teenage boys in September 1940, and was first studied by the French archaeologist Henri-Edouard-Prosper Breuil. Some of the most compelling and informative cave paintings have been documented at this site. The layout and dimensions are notable in and of themselves. Consisting of a main cavern measuring approximately 66 feet (20 m) wide and 16 feet (4.9 m) high, there are many very steep galleries. All of the walls are amazingly decorated with engraved, drawn, and painted figures. Archaeologists have found some 600 painted and drawn animals and symbols, along with nearly 1,500 engravings.
The paintings appear to have been done on a light background in various shades of yellow, red, brown, and black. Among the most remarkable pictures are four huge (over 16 feet [4.9 m] long) aurochs (a now extinct species of wild ox). The paintings also depict a mysterious twohorned animal (misleadingly nicknamed the "unicorn"), which some researchers suspect was intended to depict a mythical creature. Several other species are scattered about the walls, including red deer, great herds of horses and bison, the heads and necks of several stags, which appear to be swimming across a river, a series of six big cats (possibly lions or panthers), and a rare narrative-like illustration. Dots, geometric motifs of unknown significance, accompany many of these animal figures.
The cave paintings are thought to date from about 20,000-15,000 b.c. Their vivid pigments have most likely been preserved by a natural process caused by rainwater seeping through the limestone rocks to produce a preservative-acting saturated bicarbonate. The colors appear to have been originally rubbed across the rock walls and ceilings with hard, sharpened lumps of dirt (probably yellow, red, and brown ochre). Outlines were drawn with black sticks of wood charcoal. The discovery of mixing dishes suggests that liquid pigment mixed with fat was also used and smeared on the walls by hand.
When the cave was discovered in 1940, the paintings were very well preserved. The stable levels of moisture and temperature within the cave provide an ideal environment for the preservation of pigments over thousands of years. After the cave was opened to the public in 1948, as many as 100,000 visitors a year came to view the famous paintings. The presence of so many people soon disturbed the delicate environment of the cave, and the paintings began to deteriorate. The colors faded and a green fungus grew over the pigments. The cave was closed to the public in 1963. A replica of the cave, known as Lascaux II, was constructed using the same pigments and methods believed to have been used by the original artists. Lascaux II opened in 1983 and now receives about 300,000 visitors a year.
In addition to the caves in Spain and France, there are signs that people were painting and creating art objects in other parts of the world at least 18,000 years ago. Some caves have been discovered in Australia and South Africa, and there seems to be a similar pattern to the designs and motifs used. There are many questions which researchers have been trying to answer with regards to this ancient art. One fundamental question is "why did human beings suddenly start to paint on cave walls?" Unfortunately, there is little intelligent speculation about this.
Since the discovery of these first caves in Spain and then subsequently in France, there has been a virtual flood of discoveries. It would appear that vast regions of these countries are rife with incredible caves, which were elaborately and enigmatically decorated by our distant ancestors. Lascaux was not to be a solitary phenomenon.
Others discoveries include the Chauvet cave and over 150 archaeological sites, including in the Eyzies-de-Tayac caves located in the Vézère Valley. These sites were collectively designated an UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979. As late as 1994, the Vallon-Pont-d'Arc cave in the Ardèche region of France was discovered to incorporate several very large galleries depicting a diverse menagerie, including rhinoceroses, felines, bears, owls, and mammoths.
As discoveries are made almost annually, one of the greatest contributions these prehistoric cave paintings have made to science has been the clear renderings of the wildlife that inhabited the plains of Europe. As a few of the more notable examples, the paintings of the horses found on the cave walls do not resemble any horse still remaining in the West. In fact, they more resemble a species of horse that is considered endangered and that is now only found in the high plains of Mongolia and Western China, the Przewalski's (per-zhe-vall-skeez) horse.
Impressively, the large, hairy, elephant-like animals known as the mammoth that lived during the last Ice Age, some 20,000-30,000 years ago and are now extinct, are rendered on the cave walls. This lends clear evidence that prehistoric man was very familiar with the mammoth.
Scientists have also discovered paintings of hyenas, rhinoceroses, lions, and panthers, which are now all extinct in the wild throughout Europe and only live in European zoos. One of the most startling discoveries was an entire hallway in the Lascaux Caves filled with paintings of bison. This clearly indicted that bison were once extremely common in Europe—this great species is now also extinct on the continent.
Archaeologists have theorized that the cave served over a long period of time as a center for the performance of hunting and magical rites—a theory supported by the depiction of a number of arrows and traps on or near the animals. In fact, several theories have developed over the years in an attempt to explain what these paintings might have meant to Paleolithic peoples. There are researchers that have suggested that the ancient artists created the art simply for art's sake. This supposes that they had the same attitudes about art as we do today. Did the artists decorate the caves simply to entertain themselves or an audience? Possibly, but the evidence researchers have discovered about living hunter-gatherer societies suggests that there were much more profound motives.
Other scientists have embraced theories of "sympathetic hunting magic." These theories suggest that, since most of the images are of animals, then the art was probably connected with the fertility of animals and successful hunting. The art is most certainly connected with the animal world, but the relationship between the animals and humans seems far more complex than merely one of hunting magic.
The latest theories attempting to hypothesize on the meaning of these paintings are based on a comparative study. Referred to as "symbolism theories," scientists are examining the symbolism of modern hunter-gatherers and their art and relating that to the art left by Paleolithic humans. When researchers began studying San art (the San were an African group who until the 1970s comprised one of the last hunter-gatherer societies in the world), it was generally interpreted as representing simple, schematic images of everyday San life. Recently, however, researchers have begun to understand that the images were not realistic, but instead were shamanistic art, which has a different kind of reality, the reality of another world.
In light of this evidence, however, it is still unlikely that we will ever know the true meaning of the images in the caves. Whatever the motivation of our ancestors, researchers will continue to investigate these marvelous relics.

Two Iowa men whom police say planned a mass shooting at the Pokémon World Championships in Boston were ordered held without bail Monday. A dangerousness hearing is set for Sept. 1.
Kevin Norton, 18, and James Stumbo, 27, who were invited to participate in the weekend tournament, were arrested Saturday on firearms charges after police were alerted to alleged threats they'd made to the event through social media.
“We can never read someone’s mind,” The Boston Globe quotes Police Superintendent Paul A. Fitzgerald as saying. “What we can read is what they were saying and the actions that they took, bringing the weapons they were showing online as a threat.”
“That could have been a mass shooting,” he added, noting the involvement of Boston’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, which includes federal agents. "So obviously the federal agencies were concerned with that.”
After both men were barred from entering the Hynes Convention Center on Thursday, police spoke with the two and obtained a search warrant for Norton’s 2002 Chevy Prizm and discovered a 12-gauge Remington shotgun, a DPM5 Model AR-15 rifle, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and a hunting knife. Norton and Stumbo were then arrested Saturday morning at their motel in Saugus, north of Boston.
Stumbo last week allegedly posted a photo to the Mayhem Pokemon Crew Facebook page of two guns on the trunk of a car, with the message, “Kevin Norton and I are ready for worlds Boston here we come!!!” When another poster wished them “Good luck,” Stumbo responded, “With killing the competition?”
According to prosecutors, when Norton was banned from an online chat room for bullying, he allegedly replied, “Oh, ok, that’s fine then I will just shoot him on Friday thanks.” Both men had allegedly made threats against individuals and discussed mass shootings in chat rooms.
Norton and Stumbo face charges of unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and unlawful possession of a large capacity rifle. Although they've not been charged in connection with any threats they allegedly made online, the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office noted that the investigation is ongoing.

President Bush, facing opposition from both parties over his plan to send more troops to Iraq, said he has the authority to act no matter what Congress wants.
"I fully understand they could try to stop me from doing it. But I've made my decision. And we're going forward," Bush told CBS' "60 Minutes" in an interview to air Sunday night.
Vice President Dick Cheney asserted that lawmakers' criticism will not influence Bush's plans and he dismissed any effort to "run a war by committee."
"The president is the commander in chief. He's the one who has to make these tough decisions," Cheney said.
Any attempts to block Bush's efforts would undermine the troops, Cheney said. He took particular aim at Democratic lawmakers who have blasted the president for increasing troops despite opposition from Congress, military advisers and a disgruntled electorate that in November ousted the Republicans as the majority party on Capitol Hill.
Like Bush, though, Cheney said Americans need to look at the war in Iraq as part of a much longer effort.
"This is an existential conflict," Cheney said. "It is the kind of conflict that's going to drive our policy and our government for the next 20 or 30 or 40 years. We have to prevail and we have to have the stomach for the fight long term."
The White House also said Sunday that Iranians are aiding the insurgency in Iraq and the U.S. has the authority to pursue them because they "put our people at risk."
First off, in a lot of ways wars are run by committee. You have folks evaluating intelligence, folks devising military strategy, and folks working the domestic and international political angles, and perhaps most important of all folks making the military logistics work. If the ammunition won't make it to the line till Tuesday, no matter how determined the commander in chief is, the offensive really shouldn't happen on Monday and the logistics commander is not out of line or disloyal for saying an "offensive on Monday is a really, really bad idea". The president does not have the support of the American people for the war and it is appropriate for the Congress to remind him of that. I really doubt funding will be cut off anytime soon (if ever).
20,30,40 years? Well given how this gang has performed so far it seems likely that we are on course for another Hundred Years' War

Record buy Ozil set for debut at Sunderland as Arsenal injury crisis worsens
Mesut Ozil is in line for an instant Arsenal debut after Arsene Wenger’s injury problems worsened yesterday.
The £42million man will report to the club’s London Colney HQ today for his first training session since arriving from Real Madrid.
And Wenger is set to use the Germany international at the first possible opportunity when his side travel to Sunderland on Saturday after Tomas Rosicky returned from international duty with a thigh injury.
Friends already? Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is among the first Arsenal players to meet Mesut Ozil
The Czech Republic international limped off during Tuesday’s 2-1 defeat against Italy and is rated as a major doubt for the trip to the Stadium of Light.
That leaves the door wide open for Ozil to make his Arsenal bow, despite the fact he will have completed just two days of training with his new team-mates.
Despite the season being less than a month old, Arsenal already have a lengthy injury list.
New surroundings: Ozil has been pictured at Arsenal's London Colney training ground for the first time
Club and country: Lukas Podolski and Ozil have already combined for the Germany national team
Classy operator: Ozil again highlighted his ability in Germany's 3-0 win away to the Faroe Islands
joins Thomas Vermaelen, Mikel Arteta, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lukas
Podolski, Abou Diaby and Yaya Sanogo on the club’s treatment table.
better news for Wenger, Theo Walcott and Jack Wilshere are expected to
be fit for Saturday after their exertions for England in Kiev.
was substituted midway through the second half, and Walcott limped off
after a nasty challenge on his ankle from Oleksandr Kucher.
But both are expected to be available for the clash against Paolo Di Canio’s side this weekend.

Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs Simplex Chithyola-Banda says it is encouraging that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is supportive of Malawi’s debt restructuring programme despite not committing to debt relief yet.
Speaking in a telephone interview yesterday, he said the IMF was key in Malawi’s negotiations with its official bilateral and private sector creditors to restructure its debt classified as unsustainable.
Said Chithyola-Banda: “The fund has been very helpful on the debt restructuring process, but the conversations we had were not about debt cancellation. They were about the reforms we needed to restore economic stability.
“The reforms that we have put in place will help us promote economic growth. It is important that we grow to achieve the milestones we have set for ourselves and ensure we do not regress to the economic challenges that we have implemented in the past years.”
The minister’s sentiments come after IMF second deputy managing director Gita Gopinath said “successful debt restructuring is vital as there is no reasonable mix of adjustment and financing alone that can deliver macroeconomic stability”.
In an earlier statement, she said: “The Malawian authorities are seeking comparable treatment from all official bilateral creditors and continue to pursue good faith negotiations with commercial creditors.
“However, time is of the essence for debt relief, as further delays would result in greater financing gaps, which could then only be closed at an undesirably high cost to the population.”
The IMF has classified Malawi as a country in debt distress.
According to the Annual Public Debt Report released by the Ministry of Finance in September, the country’s total debt stock stood at K9.4 trillion, of which $3.94 billion was external debt and K5.6 trillion ($5.22 billion) was domestic debt or 75 percent of gross domestic product (GDP).
This is 15 percentage points higher than the 60 percent threshold recommended by global financial institutions such as the IMF and World Bank.
Reacting to the developments, economic analyst Bond Mtembezeka said Malawi might convince the donors to consider debt relief if the country commits and adheres strictly to the economic reforms in the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) programme.
He said: “Bilateral and multilateral lenders don’t just cancel debt for its sake. They need to see that the economy is committed to driving towards more sustainable debt.”
In his address to the United Nations General Assembly, President Lazarus Chakwera called on the donor community to cancel all debts amid concerns that debt and interest payments were stifling the capacity of low-income countries to develop.
Figures in the Reserve Bank of Malawi’s September issue of the Monthly Economic Monitor shows that the government has paid K385.5 billion or 23.8 percent of total budget expenditures on interest payments on existing debt.

Indigo Wine Bar and Bistro is the fine dining restaurant at the Discovery Shores Boracay Island in the Philippines. It has an excellent view of the beach and the sea beyond.
There is also an excellent wine list with wines from Australia, California, France, and other wine-producing regions.
While the menu and service is fine dining, the atmosphere is unabashedly casual. Waiters, for example, are smartly dressed in short pants.
I was served black olive bread with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and fig and garlic butter while I sipped my first glass of a medium-bodied and fruity Australian Chardonnay by Renmano Chairman’s.
Recommended by my waiter, the wine was laced with ripe fruit and spicy vanilla with hints of spice and oak.
I had a second glass of Chardonnay when my first course, crab gratin, arrived! I’m not a big fan of crab, but the waiter, Herman Venus, Jr., suggested it so I decided to give it a try.
OMG! This rendition of the crustacean was enough to convert me. It was mouthwateringly delicious. Maybe I should give a second chance.
The waiter suggested the U.S. prime angus ribeye for my main course: 400 grams of grilled beef, served atop carrot puree and baby asparagus and accompanied by blistering leeks, potato dauphinoise, and shallot confit.
Was this delicious or what?
Without doubt, it was one of the yummiest steaks I have ever consumed.
My steak was washed down with a glass of Barefoot Cabernet Sauvignon, a full-bodied California red full of big berry flavours – currents, raspberries, and blackberries with a velvety vanilla finish.
I didn’t finish my steak so I could sample dessert (the leftover beef made an excellent dinner the following night).
The Chef asked what I would like for dessert. I suggested something light such as a fruit sorbet.
The Chef returned several minutes later with a platter of raspberry sorbet atop a gooey yet crunchy dark chocolate under layer and a piece of cheesecake with a sea salt caramel sauce.
It was to die for!!!
Stuffed to the gills, I headed straight for the swimming pool after dinner, doing laps until the lifeguard Informed me it was time for the pool to close for the night.
Not sure if I burned off any calories, but it sure was a yummy dinner!

▬ BATH BOMBS ▬
Taking a bath uses lots of water, ranging from 40 gallons per small bathtub fill to 100 gallons per large bathtub fill. In comparison, taking an 8.2 minute shower only uses 17.2 gallons of water. If you're interested in some of the ways I conserve water, check out my post!
Taking a bath for me is a luxury, and I only do it on special occasions to relax, or when I'm having severe menstrual cramps. I've taken to soaking my feet in a tub instead. It's almost as good, saves water, and is a great way to enjoy a bath bomb.
The ingredients are affordable, chemical free, and I'm able to purchase everything package-free by bringing my own containers to the bulk section. If you're unable to find these ingredients in bulk, try to avoid plastic packaging if possible.
These bath bombs are supportive of relaxation in the body and smell amazing....They fizz and dissolve beautifully in the water.
I used eucalyptus radiata and lemon essential oils this time around, but here are some of the combinations I've tried in the past:
Rose & Germanium Ylang Ylang & Bergamot Lavender & Peppermint
I love adding fresh lemon to the bath as well!
Ingredients: This recipe makes 5 bath bombs
1/2 cup epsom salt
1/4 cup citric acid
1/4 cup baking soda
2 teaspoons jojoba or olive oil
1 tsp essential oil
1/2 teaspoon water
The Steps: 1. Combine the dry ingredients (epsom salt, citric acid, baking soda) in a bowl and stir until evenly mixed. 2. In a separate bowl combine the wet ingredients (olive or jojoba, essential oils, water) 3. Slowly begin to add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix. 4. Once the wet ingredients have been fully incorporated into the dry, begin to form the mixture into whatever shape you desire. You want to form the mixture quickly before the ingredients dry and become too hard to mold. 5. Store in a glass mason jar and use one per bath, or foot soak.
Hot Tip: There are plastic bath bomb molds, but as I'm plastic-free that's not an option. I liked forming the bath bombs with my hands. They weren't perfectly round, but that's ok! They have character. If you don't want to use your hands, I suggest a silicon mold, as they don't have to be round in shape.
A bit about the ingredients...
Epsom Salt: Epsom salt is a natural mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate. When added to the bath, epsom salt is absorbed through the skin and supports a healthy inflammatory response in the body. It can also help relieve muscle cramping and maintain muscle and nerve function, while eliminating toxins.
Baking Soda: Ready for a body detox? In the bath, baking soda can aid in detoxification and alkalize the body. It can also support irritated and itchy skin, leaving it silky smooth.
Eucalyptus & Lemon: Breathing in the smell from eucalyptus and lemon supports relaxation and calm in the body. Eucalyptus is also supportive of muscle pain and soreness. Lemon is astringent, naturally detoxifying, and helps remove excess oil on the skin.
Jojoba Oil: Jojoba is very similar to our skin's own sebum and therefore provides true moisture that keeps the skin supple and soft throughout the day. Jojoba has anti-inflammatory properties and is supportive in reducing inflammation caused by dryness of the skin.
Bath bombs are a great homemade gift!

A council leader has given the people in his COVID-infected district an ultimatum.
Comply with the current lockdown restrictions or face a Christmas under strict restrictions.
Cllr Roger Truelove, the leader of Swale Borough Council, levelled with the communities of Faversham, Sittingbourne and the Isle of Sheppey last night (November 17).
Swale's most up to date infection rates show 584 people per 100,000 people have contracted the deadly virus.

It makes it the second most infected area in Kent, just behind Thanet.
Cases have been rising week on week since the autumn, with Andrew Scott-Clark, the director of public health at Kent County Council, saying the increasing figures were a "cause for concern" back in October.
And now it appears the community will have to come together to disrupt the spread of the virus, or pay the consequences next month.
Cllr Truelove fears the borough will be placed in a high tier once the national lockdown comes to an end on December 2.
'We risk spending Christmas in lockdown'
Cllr Truelove said: “Unless we can level off the rate of growth in Covid infections in the borough, we risk a longer period of high-level restrictions beyond December 2.
“Infection rates have reached 584 per 100,000 people, and if we don’t do something to contain it we risk spending Christmas in lockdown.
“Before the Prime Minister introduced the new nationwide restrictions earlier this month, we were being pressed by the government and Kent County Council to go into Tier 2 - the High-Risk status - and we risk being placed in this tier when nation lockdown ends if cases continue to rise."
Its feared that if infection rates are not brought under control that some people will be spending Christmas alone.
It could also restrict people going to see relatives in care homes.
And now Swale Borough Council is urging complete compliance in a bid to save Christmas for scores of residents.
'We can only tackle the issue through compliance'
Cllr Truelove added: "Swale now has the second highest rate of infection in Kent with increasing numbers in care homes and a higher rate of infection amongst 65+ age group than in many parts of the county.
“The virus spreads virulently through close personal contact and we can only tackle the issue if we comply with government guidelines.
“It’s our duty as a council to encourage and urge people to comply with the restrictions in place and to closely monitor the business community to ensure people’s safety.
“I urge councillors to spread a message of compliance and to discourage anybody who wishes to glory in their non-compliance.”

- Lear breaks ground on plant at site of former Buick City in Flint
- It's the first major auto supplier plant built in Flint in three decades
- The state approved a $4 million grant for Lear's $29.3 million investment
Automotive supplier Lear Corp. is building a plant on part of a massive former manufacturing site in Flint.
Officials of the Southfield-based manufacturer joined other leaders Monday for a groundbreaking where the Buick City complex once stood. Most of the 390-acre Buick City closed in 1999, creating one of Michigan's largest brownfield sites.
Officials said Lear's seating plant will be the first major auto supplier manufacturing facility built in Flint in three decades. The roughly 33-acre development is expected to start production in April and employ about 600 workers when it reaches full production.
The company said the site is near many of its workers and a Detroit-based General Motors Co. plant it supplies. Lear worked with GM and the city, and the state approved a $4 million grant for Lear's $29.3 million investment.

Surimi Manufacture Using The Decanter
The manufacture of surimi involves washing a minced fish filet in a two or three-stage process. Impurities such as blood and fat are removed in this process. Normally, a rotating screen provides superficial cleaning of the wash water.
In conventional production of surimi, screw presses dewater the minced fish meat. Then it is treated with anti-freezing agents before being deep frozen.
This Manufacturing Process for Surimi Offers Numerous Disadvantages:
- High losses of meat fibres during the various stages of washing and in the screw press
- Significant wash water consumption
- High space requirement for the systems
- Easy perishability of the raw material
Flottweg decanters are the solution to all these problems. In the production of surimi, decanters can be used for recovering the meat fibres from the wash water and/or as a replacement for the screw presses. This significantly increases the yield of surimi during the manufacturing processes.
The Flottweg Decanter Offers Numerous Advantages in The Production of Surimi:
- Up to 50% higher overall yield compared to conventional surimi manufacture for fibre recovery from the wash water or replacement of the screw press
- Consistent residual moisture in the end product because of the Flottweg Simp-Drive®
- Reduction in operating costs because the manufacturing process for surimi is fully automatic
- High flexibility in order to meet different market requirements
- Ease of operation, even with fish species that are difficult to process
- Cleaning programs for optimum CIP cleaning
- Careful product processing leads to very low product heating
Flottweg - Your Partner for Surimi Manufacture
Flottweg knows the exacting requirements of the fish industry. We have more than 50 years of experience in separation technology, and are specialists in the manufacture of surimi. Take advantage of our knowledge, experience and expertise:

- Individual support: We find the right solution for your process
- ISO certification: Flottweg is certified to ISO 9001 and builds its products according to the latest technical standards
- Made in Germany: All Flottweg decanters are produced in Germany by specialist technician

Today via their Twitter account, Duran Duran wished a very happy birthday to their seminal album Rio. The album which hit shelves in UK in May of 1982 (made it to the US in the fall of the same year) boasted the hit singles “Hungry Like the Wolf“, “Save a Prayer“, and the title track “Rio“.
The iconic video for the single “Rio” – featuring the pastel suited band members on a yacht in Antigua – influenced not only Eighties pop culture but helped bolster the popularity the then fledgling MTV.
“‘Rio’ is the definitive video of the 80s – the music, the style, the sex. And It gave me all the ammo I needed for anyone who dared claim anyone other than John Taylor as ‘The Favorite’.”

There’s a lot more to competitive shooting than sending rounds downrange. There are the private aspects we don’t see—building guns, loading our own ammo, dry firing in our living rooms, selecting gear—and for most of us, focusing on our shooting means shutting out all distractions and all other shooters, and maybe putting on our game face.
Sophomore Cornhusker waits to shoot the good shot in the NCAA finals
Rob Leatham-Action Pistol’s Great One – Part 2 Of Our Interview
Every February for the past six years, Berger Bullets, along with the Desert Sharpshooters Rifle Club has hosted a long-range rifle championship. Held at the Ben Avery shooting facility just north of Phoenix, Arizona, it is different in many aspects—mostly the prize table.
Smallbore rifle shooting was a frequent part of the international and Olympic shooting competitions prior to World War II, and was included in the 1924 Paris Olympics.
The first competitive shooting target in the United States was little more than a black circle drawn on a blazed tree trunk with a piece of charcoal pulled from a campfire.


Fresh from a jam-packed Winter of touring supporting both Circa Waves and Reverend and the Makers, The Ramona Flowers are back with the announcement of their upcoming EP, Hey You, out 4th May, and the title track, out now via Distiller Records. Listen to the new single here and pre-save the EP here.
The 5 track EP, produced by Dimitri Tikovoi and engineered by Drew Bang, marks their first full release of 2023 and sees them draw a David Bowie influence to the songwriting, particularly ‘Let’s Dance’ with Hey You. The band note, “we were lucky enough to record the EP overlooking the sea in Devon, so the wild seas definitely influenced our vibes! Hey You is about friends, lovers, parties, the fall outs and ultimately the wars that follow! It sums up the lives of The Ramona Flowers’ existence.”
The single is accompanied by the official video, which can be viewed below and sees the band perform the track in a darkened room full of neon lights. Written by the band, Hey You is about battling with the devil on your shoulder and the side of yourself that always prevails no matter how hard you try. Adding how that can lead to bad decisions but also how much fun that can be, the song is an upbeat, funky mix that’s already become a firm live favourite.
Speaking of the new track, the four-piece said, “Hey You wasn’t the easiest song to write. It was originally two separate melodies from two different songs put together but we always knew that it had something. So we persisted with it and finally one night after a few Guinness’s it finally clicked and it’s been a mainstay in our live show ever since”.
Hey You marks the beginning of an exciting year ahead for the four piece, made up of Steve Bird (vocals), Sam Dyson (guitar), Dave Betts (keyboards/guitar) and Ed Gallimore (drums). The new music follows their recent tour around the UK with Reverend and the Makers, their European tour in support of Circa Waves and last year’s release of their Gotta Get Home EP, which featured stand out single California. The Ramona Flowers are about to head out again to tour the U.S. as the support for Circa Waves. The dates kick off on 21st March with a show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles and conclude in Washington, DC at Union Stage. The 10-day run also includes a stop in New York City at The Bowery Ballroom. They have more fun plans ahead too with headline dates across Europe and a UK tour to be announced in due course.
2022 was The Ramona Flowers’ most prolific year yet. Last year’s single, Up All Night featuring the legendary Nile Rogers had over 120 plays at alternative radio and charted at #25 in the top 40 New Music charts in the US, staying there for 4 weeks. They had a 10-date support slot with The Libertines on their Up The Bracket 20th Anniversary tour and performed at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. The band also toured the USA supporting Barns Courtney. Following support shows with Muse and Placebo at Firenze Rocks in Italy last summer, the group headlined a sold out show at Omeara in London.

Arthur William Symons was born on February 28, in Wales. He was a British poet, magzine editor and critic. His major editorial feat was his work with the short-lived Savoy. His first volume of verse, Days and Nights , consisted of dramatic monologues. His later verse is influenced by a close study of modern French writers, of Charles Baudelaire, and especially of Paul Verlaine. He reflects French tendencies both in the subject-matter and style of his poems..

Aaron, nick-named “Bugs”, made his Olympic debut at the 2016 Rio Games after he secured Australia’s first Triathlon quota spot having finished 6th at the 2015 Rio Test Event. Aaron and training partner Ryan Bailie gave Australia its first dual top ten finishers in men’s triathlon history at Fort Copacabana after Aaron was the first Australian out of the water in the swim, ensuring he was well inside the top 10.
Aaron grew up in Newcastle and was drawn to the sport after his parents asked him to choose between swimming and running, instead he added a bike leg and fell in love with triathlon.
In his first year on the senior Triathlon Australia Team, in 2012, Aaron proved he was a force to be reckoned with after being crowned U23 World Champion.
Spending half his year in Wollongong, as part of the illustrious “Wollongong Wizards”, Aaron trains alongside fellow selected team member Ryan Bailie and two-time women’s World Champion Gwen Jorgensen. The 25-year-old spends the remaining of the year in the Wizards training base in Vitoria, Spain, and makes frequent appearances on the ITU World Triathlon Series circuit.

Lebanese comedian Adel Karam is set to return to Netflix in the newly acquired series Dollar.
Karam first appeared on the platform in his own stand up special, Netflix's very first original Arabic programming, in early 2018. This time around, he'll be adopting a more serious tone to star in a "fast-paced action-packed drama that will leave you on the edge of your seat." Dollar is set in modern day Lebanon and co-stars Algerian/Lebanese actress, Amal Bouchoucha.
The series will tell the story of advertising mastermind, Tarek (Karam), who is tasked with coming up with a million-dollar idea for the launch of a new bank. He’s got it, but will only share his idea with the CEO. Something’s off, and the bank’s hard-hitting young CFO, Zeina (Bouchoucha), can sense it. But can she put the pieces of the puzzle together before things get out of hand?
The 15-episode run is directed by Syrian director, Samer Berkawi, the man behind award-winning hit shows including Al Hayba and Half Day. The show is produced by Beirut's Cedars Art Production, and written by Hisham Hilal.
Talking about his second collaboration with Netflix, the director Samer Berkawi said, “I’m confident that the show will appeal to Netflix’s audiences worldwide. This project is an exciting one, bringing together themes of suspense and drama that showcase Amal Bouchoucha’s onscreen talents, as well as Adel Karam’s versatility beyond the comedy that he is known and loved for.”
Dollar will be streaming on Netflix from August 8, subtitled in 20 languages to 148 million members in over 190 countries. It will be designated as a Netflix Original in markets where Netflix is the first to show it.
Netflix also has two genuine Arabic Originals in production following the already-streaming supernatural teen drama Jinn, and the previously-announced Al Rawabi School for Girls and Paranormal, both of which will launch later this year.

Grove defines this stop as follows::
Rauschwerk is frequently used to replace [Rauschpfeife or Rauschquinte]; but for early sources (e.g. A. Schlick, 1511), ‘Rauschwerk’ was a term denoting either a semi-Flute solo compound stop imitating a reed instrument, or a reed stop itself, probably of more refined tone than the Trompete.
Williams defines it only as a reed stop, as described by Grove.
All known examples are listed below. No examples are known of the reed form.
