The formation of scars can be termed as a natural process that can occur after the surgery because these kinds of scars help in strengthening the tissues which are ultimately healing. So, in some cases, the scars become very much bothersome and can also limit the movement. Sometimes the body has the amazing ability to assist the healing process but, in some cases, the issues might become uncomfortable. So, it is very much important to deal with scares and a lot of people go with the option of No Scars cream for oily skin and on the other hand, some people are very well dependent upon other ways of avoiding the scars stay.
The healthy ways can be bifurcated into two parts which include some exercises and tips and some home remedies to be followed.
The exercises and tips associated with scar formation can be termed as follows:
- Massaging the scars: It is a very good idea to apply a small amount of lotion or vitamin E oil on the scar and with the help of firm pressure caused by thumb and fingers one should massage the scar in a circular motion. This is a very good idea to deal with the permanent stay of the scar and one should move across the width and the length of the scar.
- One should undertake the retraction: Placing the fingers at the end of the scar is a very good idea and for this purpose, the individual should move the body part in the opposite direction so that there is constant pressure all the time.
- There should be an active motion: Bending and extending the joints near to the area of the scar will always help in assisting the minimization of the scar adhesion and will also avoid its permanent stay.
- Skin rolling concept: One should start at one end of the scar and should pinch the skin between the thumb, index, and middle fingers. They should be directly linked with rolling the skin back and forth.
- Undertaking several kinds of scar activities: One should consider the scar in terms of massaging as rolling the scar on a golf ball, using the electrical massager, and rubbing the scar with a marble.
- Using the silicon scar pad: This is another remedy that includes usage of a hundred percent silicone gel and is well known for reducing the redness so the texture of the scar can be improved and there is moisture which will ultimately help in improving greater flexibility. These kinds of gel-based sheets are very easily available at the drug stores and liquid gel is also very effective to deal with these things.
Following are some home remedies to deal with scars:
- Using the cucumber: This is a very important home remedy that helps in dealing with these kinds of issues because of the anti-inflammatory properties possessed by it. The best part of using this is that inflammation will be reduced and the appearance of the scar on the body will also get reduced. Hence, the lightening agent possessed by cucumber help in providing several kinds of benefits in this case.
- Using apple cider vinegar: This is another home remedy that should be combined with water and should be applied to the affected areas with the help of a cotton ball so that scars are faded. This particular remedy includes several kinds of antibacterial effects which further help in making sure that scars are dealt with very well.
- Going with the option of using the aloe vera: This particular remedy very well works on acne and other kinds of issues because it has the properties that ultimately help in reducing inflammation, redness, and swelling which is the main reason it is very much successful.
- Using lemon juice: Going with the option of using lemon juice is another treatment to deal with acne scars. This particular concept is well known for bleaching action and can be very well utilized in combination with the sun because it helps to fade the dark discoloration in the skin. One can very easily combine it with the aloe vera as it has inflammation-fighting power and it can be used in the form of a face pack very easily.
- Using the vitamin K cream: Using this particular cream will always help in minimizing the spider veins and the stretch marks. This is a very successful remedy to deal with blemishes and acne scars.
- Using baking soda: This particular concept can be very well-used for the discoloration of acne scars and it is also a very gentle exfoliant. Baking soda can be very easily used to deal with such issues on the skin and one can very well combine it with little water to make a paste that can be applied on the wet skin and it should be left for approximately 15 minutes to see best results.
- Using extra virgin olive oil: The extra virgin olive oil will always help in loosening the dead skin cells and will soften the scars. This particular remedy is very expensive, and people can very easily use olive oil on the affected areas at night to make sure that they get extra moisturizing.
- Using lavender oil: This particular oil can be used in showing the improvements of collagen which is another building block of healthy skin. In addition to all this, it will also help in treating acne because of the soothing properties possessed by it. Lavender is very gentle, and people can apply a couple of drops on the affected area daily to see the best possible results.
- Using cocoa butter: This is another home remedy that is very much successful in penetrating deep into the skin so that scars can be dealt with very well.
People also go with the option of using No Scars cream for acne scars because of the best quality benefits and results provided by it. This particular product is very much successful in dealing with all skin related issues because of the anti-inflammatory benefits provided by it. It helps in inhibiting the production of melanin which ultimately prevents acne formation. It also reduces the appearance of marks by increasing the production of collagen in the dermis.
The people should use this particular cream for approximately 2-3 months regularly so that they can see the best possible results. People should apply this cream on the affected area with gentle massaging until the cream is completely absorbed in the skin. The quantity of the cream will always depend upon the extent of absorption in the skin and the area to which it has to be applied. The application of the cream is advised at bedtime so that people can deal with acne very easily. He/she should make sure that all the sensitive areas, for example, eyes and mouth are avoided at the time of using this particular thing and people should also discontinue the usage in case they face any kind of skin irritation.
Hence, for all those people who want to avoid the intimidation of the scars stay then they must go with the above-mentioned points in combination with the usage of this particular cream.

An Israeli teenager was killed and two family members were severely wounded this morning, when an explosive device detonated near the Ein Bubin spring, located next to the West Bank settlement of Dolev.
Israeli Civilian and Military medical teams provided initial treatment at the scene, before the two injured victims were evacuated via helicopter to medical centers in Jerusalem.
The murder victim was identified as 17-year-old Rina Shnerb, while the wounded were her 46-year-old father Rabbi Eitan, and 20-year-old brother Eitan.
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit immediately classified the incident as a “serious terror attack,” and noted that “troops are searching the area.” The Israeli army did not immediately provide additional details, but domestic media reports indicated that “forces are chasing a suspicious vehicle, which escaped the scene and is believed to be the car from which the terrorists hurled” what the IDF referred to as “an improvised explosive device.”
In response to the incident, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held several meetings with top Defense Ministry officials. In a statement released by the Prime Minister’s office, Netanyahu sent, on behalf of himself and the citizens of Israel, condolences to the Shnerb family, while vowing that Jerusalem will respond to the heinous Palestinian acts of terror by continuing to strengthen the settlements. Netanyahu stressed, “We will deepen our roots and strike at our enemies. The security arms are in pursuit after the abhorrent terrorists. We will apprehend them. The long arm of Israel reaches all those who seek our lives and will settle accounts with them.”

The judical review into the sacking of the general manager of Tonga's state broadcaster has been set for next Tuesday.
Nanise Fifita was dismissed last month despite her contract having a right of renewal clause.
The move came a few months after the Prime Minister had called the Tonga Broadcasting Commission an enemy of government.
The Public Enterprise Minister Poasi Tei and the TBC are now being taken to court.
Initially the Chief Justice was to hear an injunction seeking to have Ms Fifita's continue in her job until a judicial review.
But Ms Fifita's lawyer, William Edwards, said the Chief Justice wanted to expedite matters.
"Rather than have an injunction hearing he would rather deal with substantive matters at trial next week and rush it through."
"The Crown and the TBC, Tonga Broadcasting Commission, have consented to that and to fast-track it next Tuesday rather than wait some time until interim orders have been granted," he said.

Kylie Minogue’s ‘Fever’ Album & Classic Single “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” Are 20 Years Old!
Kylie Minogue’s multi-platinum Fever album and her classic single Can’t Get You Out Of My Head are 20 years old!
A special 20th anniversary limited-edition of the album will be released on white vinyl with a unique print to coincide with National Album Day; a recycled frosted clear cassette format will also be available on October 15.
Kylie will be an ambassador for this year’s National Album Day, which this year spotlights female artists.
OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
NEWS PROVIDED BY
Murray Chalmers PR
Today, Oct 1, marks 20 years since the release of the Kylie Minogue’s classic, multi-platinum album Fever. Original Fever album available here: https://
The album, originally released on October 1, 2001, heralded an especially buoyant phase of Kylie’s career. The massive global success of the genre-defining lead single Can’t Get You Out Of My Head meant that expectations for Fever were particularly high and the reception to the album was ecstatic.
Fever immediately topped the charts in five countries, including the UK and Kylie’s native Australia. It also achieved huge success in the USA, where it reached No. 3 in the Billboard chart; eventually it would be certified 5x platinum in the UK and 7x platinum in Australia. It also won Best International Album at the 2002 Brit awards.
To celebrate the anniversary of this classic album, a special 20th anniversary limited-edition will be released on white vinyl, including a unique print; the new edition will also be available on a frosted recycled clear cassette. A silver vinyl format and a range of bespoke Fever merchandise will also be available for purchase exclusively from Kylie.com. All 20th anniversary editions are limited and will be available on October 15 in the UK and Australia, and the rest of the world on November 19. Fans can pre-order here - https://
In further recognition of the re-issue of Fever and Kylie’s current success with her album Disco, Kylie has been confirmed as one of five female artists to champion their love of the album format as an ambassador for National Album Day, 2021, which this year falls on Oct 16 – and is presented in conjunction with BBC Sounds and Bowers & Wilkins.
Following the staggering success of her debut Parlophone album, Light Years, and her ‘comeback’ single Spinning Around, Kylie returned the following year with an album that showed the artist at the peak of her powers.
Emboldened by the huge sales of her debut album for a new label, Kylie’s iconic popstar status was about to be consolidated with an album that only she could make; in collaboration with writers and producers including Cathy Dennis, Richard Stannard, Julian Gallagher, Ash Howes and Rob Davis, Fever was a breath-taking tour de force which won massive critical acclaim and led to colossal global chart success.
Fever launched with the lead single (and arguably still Kylie’s most broadly popular song) Can’t Get You Out Of My Head. Its success speaks for itself, amassing a staggering 40 number ones across the globe, including Australia, UK and France, garnering multiple certifications in the process in Australia (3x platinum), UK, Italy, Belgium (2x platinum), platinum across nine other countries and gold in the USA and New Zealand. It was complemented by a standout music video which introduced a new, more futuristic and stylised look for Kylie, a look which would form the core of the creative direction for her groundbreaking Fever tour.
This heightened creative energy was equally matched in the music videos for the three other singles In Your Eyes, Love At First Sight and Come Into My World. All music videos have been fully upgraded to HD for the first time and are all available to watch from today here.
With Can’t Get You Out Of My Head still dominating the charts across Europe, the release of the second single, In Your Eyes, was delayed until February 2002, where it would again dominate the charts across the globe, becoming a top 20 hit in 19 different countries, including #1 in Australia.
Fever’s third single, the now iconic dance-pop track Love At First Sight would earn Kylie her first Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording at the 2003 Grammy Awards. However, it was her fourth single Come Into My World which would deliver Kylie’s first Grammy Award, winning the 2004 Best Dance Recording.
Fever, Kylie’s eighth studio album, was perhaps the ultimate illustration of euphoric dance-pop of that era, an album where the many influences in Kylie’s career synthesised into an assertively cohesive, confident whole.
As Kylie’s career continued to diversify and thrive after Fever, she achieved a remarkably strong and consistent run of hit singles and albums which continued with 2020’s DISCO. This current album’s success made Kylie the first woman to top the album chart across five decades.
Meantime Fever continues to have a life of its own with this new reissue, its status undimmed by the passing of 20 years. This week alone the Independent wrote:
“Can’t Get You Out Of My Head at 20: Kylie’s thrilling chart banger is the best pop song of the 21st century. Two decades on Fever remains a mesmerising listen. More than that it’s one of those rare LPs that transports you to a universe of its own making. Just like Minogue at the start of the Can’t Get You Out Of My Head video, it’s a project that hurtles towards a glittering horizon – and that sense of possibility is as thrilling today as it was 20 years ago”.

A limited-edition silver vinyl and a bespoke range of Fever merchandise will be available exclusively below.

At the end of June this year, I went to Norway. I’ve left it a while to write up, because to be perfectly honest, I know it’s going to take a while. So let’s take it in baby steps…
Why did I go to Norway?
After my road trip to America last year, where I saw many different, amazing things – met different people, saw different scenery, ate different food… I wanted to do it all over again. Sadly, I couldn’t afford to return to America, but I had the bug. I knew I wanted to go somewhere beautiful, where you wanted to just drive and drive and drive to just keep seeing more. I just didn’t know where that was.
So, after a fair amount of googling, I found an article about the 10 best road trips in the world. And at the top, was Norway. A place I’d never considered in my life. I’m from the UK, so it’s really not that far away, but it isn’t generally on the top of people’s lists.
For many reasons, this is why it was perfect. It felt almost like untouched land (to me anyway).
So, for my 21st Birthday, myself and three of my best friends went to Norway.
(Dan, Hamilton, Naomi and I)
As I said, we knew NOTHING about the place. All we’d been told by friends and family was that it was beautiful, but expensive. This wasn’t particularly helpful.
The article I read mentioned the Atlantic Road and I knew that I couldn’t go to Norway without going to Oslo, so with these two points in mind and all of the internet at my finger tips, I decided on the other places we wanted to visit and organised the following:
Back to Oslo/home
It was amazing. And surprisingly, not as expensive as you might think.
We stayed mostly in cabins throughout the trip, with a couple of hotels and apartments in between. I’ll do a write up of each place individually.
For now, if you have any questions, feel free to ask! Though I may answer them in the next few posts.

Law School Case Brief
People v. Gipson - 203 Ill. 2d 298, 272 Ill. Dec. 1, 786 N.E.2d 540 (2003)
An inventory search of a lawfully impounded vehicle is a judicially created exception to the warrant requirement of the Fourth Amendment. Three objectives are served by allowing inventory searches: (1) protection of the owner's property, (2) protection of the police against claims of lost or stolen property, and (3) protection of the police from potential danger.
Defendant's vehicle was stopped by a police officer after defendant was found to be driving on a revoked license. The officer conducted an inventory search pursuant to police policy. The officer opened the trunk and found a yellow plastic bag tied closed. The officer opened that bag and found a black plastic bag. The officer opened it and found crack cocaine. At a suppression hearing, the officer testified that when a vehicle was towed, a tow inventory search was conducted. He added that the inventory search policy was contained in a 600-page police policy manual stating an officer was to check areas where valuables were kept. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's decision to grant the motion to suppress. It reasoned the written policy should have been introduced and the officer's testimony was deficient because nothing in the policy authorized the opening of closed containers during inventory searches.
Was the evidence obtained pursuant to the inventory search conducted by the police officer inadmissible?
The state supreme court found that defendant did not show the search was illegal, the State was not required to introduce the written policy, and the directive to search for valuables authorized the opening of closed containers. According to the court, there was no requirement that police procedures be in writing. The United States Supreme Court required only that, in conducting inventory searches, the police act in accordance with standardized department procedures.

Raglan’s Te Kopua BMX track is to be replaced with an $80,000 pump track, to be built by Empire of Dirt next year.
Raglan Kopua Holiday Park Board chairman Colin Chung said the old dirt BMX track, which was built in 2012, needed a lot of repair work every year – the new pump track, which is being funded by the board, would be made of raised asphalt and designed for riders of all abilities.
A pump track is a series of rollers, berms and jumps that allow riders to continuously pump the terrain to maintain speed without pedalling.
The pump track would take up less space then the BMX track, and be sited adjacent to the skate park.
“It’s an excellent year round facility to complement the skate park.”
World-class track builders Empire of Dirt also constructed the Kakariki Mountainbike Trail in the pine forest in Wainui Reserve, which was officially opened on December 3.
In other changes at Te Kopua Reserve, the fitness parcourse has been closed because it did not meet new health and safety standards.
Mr Chung said the board would look at installing an alternative fitness course after seeking input from user groups.
The Raglan Kopua Holiday Park also has new managers.
Rob and Mary Clark resigned earlier this month after running the campground for 14 years.
Previous assistant manager Jo Hamblyn will be the acting manager for the summer, with Haven Tahere stepping up to the support role.
Mr Chung said the Clarks “helped build and guide the growth of the campground”.
He said the campground would be in good hands for summer.
“I think Jo and Haven will do a good job. They have the experience, ability and personality to run the park well over the summer.”

According to sources, non-league player Damien Stevens is in court for using coercive and domineering behaviour that left his girlfriend with defacement
Damien Stevens is in court for torturing his girlfriend.
According to Northumberland Gazette, Damien Stevens, who most recently played for Northern League Division One team Seaham Red Star, is accused of leaving his victim unconscious in a bath, breaking her nose while she was operating a vehicle, and forcing her to resign from her position as a nursery teacher.
Non-League footballer Damien Stevens broke the nose of his ex-girlfriend and left her unconscious
As she had believed she was in love with him and did not want to see him in trouble, her suffering, which lasted a year, was not reported until after their breakup in February of this year, according to evidence presented before Newcastle Crown Court.
Statement from the victim
The woman had thought that she was in love and didn’t want to see him in trouble, but it turned her into a “shell of a person” and made her declare in a statement that she was afraid of him.
Her nose has sustained long-term damage, but the NHS is unable to cover the cost of the treatment needed to fix it. So, she has two options either live with the injury, which already makes her feel very self-conscious or pay the procedure’s cost, which ranges from £5,000 to £10,000. Since she cannot afford such a cost, she must live with this injury, which serves as a continual reminder.
The woman says she left her job as a teacher because she didn’t want to deal with coworkers and kids who had wounds on her, wanted time off, and struggled with work that needed to be done.
This is not the first time from the player’s side.
Stevens admitted to using coercive and controlling behaviour, causing criminal damage, and having several prior convictions for harassment and common assault against other victims. He also faced prison time for these offences.
Stevens was informed by the court’s Mr Recorder, Mark Guiliani, that he might receive a starting sentence of 30 months or more in prison. He has been given the opportunity to cooperate with the probation agency, to accumulate reparation funds of at least £1,500 and to refrain from committing any more offences, including domestic abuse. The case has been postponed until July.
Prosecutor Kate Barnes listed all the incidents that occurred connected to Damien Stevens and issued a lifetime restraining order to prevent him from seeing his ex-girlfriend.


Houses are being completed at the Habitat for Humanity of Palm Beach County’s Kennedy Estates Phase II project.
The 19-house project is on the south side of Jupiter Gardens Drive. Local students and volunteers are helping to build the houses.
Kennedy Estates I — on the other side of Jupiter Gardens Drive from Kennedy Estates II in the unincorporated Palm Beach County neighborhood southwest of the intersection of Indiantown Road and Interstate 95 — is a 27-house Habitat project completed in 2011.

Phase I currently houses about 100 people.
Like all Habitat owners, families are required to contribute at least 500 hours of “sweat equity” to build the single-family house.
Families must meet income requirements depending on the size of their families to qualify for a Habitat home. The family must have regular income for the 30-year, interest-free mort gage with Habitat.
Habitat has built 157 houses in Palm Beach County since 1986, more than half of them since 2007. Habitat recently finished a 36-house project in Lake Worth.
Habitat for Humanity houses have also been built in Lake Park, Pahokee, Riviera Beach, Greenacres and West Palm Beach.

The US embassy in Kabul has been forced into immediate lockdown due to a sudden spike in COVID-19 cases in Afghanistan.
The rising infection has also prompted US officials to build temporary, on-site COVID-19 wards to care for oxygen-dependent patients, USA Today reported citing an internal memo.
"COVID-19 is surging in the Mission. 114 of our colleagues now have COVID and are in isolation; one has died, and several have been medevaced," reads the notice from Shane Pierce, an employee in the embassy's health unit.
According to this internal memo, the intensive care units at a US military hospital are swarmed and temporary on-site units have been set up for staff who need oxygen.
The latest virus outbreak has led the American Foreign Service Association (AFSA), to call on US President Joe Biden to require all government employees overseas to be vaccinated along with some exceptions.
"Our understanding is that there is enough vaccine at every embassy and consulate in the world for anyone, who wants to get it," Eric Rubin, who heads the AFSA told NPR.
Last week, the US diplomatic mission in Afghanistan suspended visa operations at the embassy's consular section due to the spread of the virus across the country.
"In response to the current outbreak, effective June 13 the Embassy's Consular Section is suspending all visa operations," the embassy had said in a statement.
It added that those who have scheduled appointments will be able to reschedule as soon as visa operations resume.
According to the Johns Hopkins University, Afghanistan has so far recorded 96,531 cases and 3,842 fatalities.

Science fiction has been one of the mainstays of all narrative media for hundreds of years. From the books of Jules Verne to the very latest foray into the 3D world with James Cameron, we’ve all been fed our fair share of sci-fi one way or another. In recent years, though, sci-fi seems to have taken a back seat, with filmmakers focusing on other avenues like the ubiquitous ‘rom com’. In the world of cinema, perhaps the ‘heyday’ of science fiction was during the 1970s and 80s with blockbuster movies like the original Star Wars trilogy, the Alien saga, Terminator movies, and more. So has the genre stagnated? Has it been spending too long on its reclining sofa and not enough time reaching out to new audiences? Perhaps so; but thanks to recent and upcoming big-budget flicks, we might be on the brink of a sci-fi renaissance.
The golden age of science fiction
There haven’t been many movies in the last decade that soared to the heights of popularity as quickly as James Cameron’s Avatar. Released at the end of 2009, it pioneered new methods in 3D technology and really brought the ‘new’ 3D to a mass audience. Obviously James Cameron is a veteran of sci-fi movie making (with his being a significant contributor to two of the franchises mentioned earlier), so who better to reinvigorate the genre and bring it back to the fore? Of course, sci-fi never really died out completely, and there have been a number of good attempts at kick-starting it (with very varied results). Examples such as M. Night Shyamalan’s movies could fall under the sci-fi umbrella, but whether or not they are out-and-out successes is a point of contention (barring The Sixth Sense of course). Then there are the more ‘cult’ examples of film sci-fi such as Sunshine and Moon. Both great movies in their own way (if we ignore the final act of Sunshine, that is), they never really got the fanfare or success that perhaps they deserved. But maybe, just maybe, there’s a movie on the horizon which is going to change all that and be the runaway success the genre deserves.
Sci-fi on the horizon
Ok, are you paying attention? Got your reclining sofa in the upright position? Good. Here are a couple of movies which are tipped for box office success. First off, we’ve got Super 8. Being released in August, it’s a collaboration between prolific director Steven Spielberg and JJ Abrams, creator of LOST and Cloverfield. That combo sounds like it will sell tickets on its own, but luckily this one has a rather intriguing story. In a nutshell it’s about a train that crashes whilst carrying a ‘creature’ of some kind, and follows a group of kids and their journey whislt going through this rather unusual turn of events. It was actually released in the USA in June, so half the world already knows what happens, but the movie sees its UK release in August – so it’s definitely one to keep an eye out for.
Another flick which looks like it could reignite the world’s passion for sci-fi is the interestingly named Cowboys and Aliens. Not much is known about this one at this stage, but it stars Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford: two big names who are sure to draw a crowd. And Harrison Ford is star of one of the most famous sci-fi franchises of all time: Star Wars, so how can it fail? From the director of Iron Man, this one hits at the end of July, so mark it in your diary!
As with any other form of popular media, genres tend to ebb and flow. Sci-fi will have its moment in the sun again, and maybe it’ll be sooner rather than later. Do remember, though, that this also means rom coms will have their time again too. You have been warned.

NASA is reportedly launching a safety review of Elon Musk’s SpaceX after the CEO smoked marijuana live on an online podcast.
The Washington Post reported Wednesday that the agency will investigate SpaceX and Boeing, the two private companies it has hired to transport astronauts to the International Space Station.
Three NASA officials with knowledge of the investigation told the Post that the proposed months-long probe was ordered after Musk’s behavior on the “Joe Rogan Experience.”
In an episode of the comedian’s podcast in September, the 47-year-old Tesla and SpaceX CEO smoked marijuana and drank whiskey.
A spokesman for NASA told the Post in a statement that the review will “ensure the companies are meeting NASA’s requirements for workplace safety, including the adherence to a drug-free environment,” but declined to say what prompted the review.
NASA Administrator Jim BridenstineJames (Jim) Frederick BridenstineHow will Biden's Afghanistan debacle impact NASA's Artemis return to the moon? Blue Origin's Jeff Bezos wages lawfare on NASA and SpaceX The billionaires' space race is just the beginning MORE told the paper that he has confidence in the SpaceX team, adding that “culture and leadership start at the top.”
“If I see something that’s inappropriate, the key concern to me is what is the culture that led to that inappropriateness and is NASA involved in that,” he told the Post. “As an agency we’re not just leading ourselves, but our contractors, as well. We need to show the American public that when we put an astronaut on a rocket, they’ll be safe.”
In a statement to the Post, SpaceX defended its safety and “comprehensive drug-free workforce.”
"Human spaceflight is the core mission of our company,” the company said. “There is nothing more important to SpaceX than this endeavor, and we take seriously the responsibility that NASA has entrusted in us to safely and reliably carry American astronauts to and from the International Space Station.”
Musk has been at the center of a number of controversies in recent months. In September, he reached a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to step down as Tesla’s board chairman after a tweet claiming that he planned to take the company private.
He is also facing a lawsuit from a British diver involved in the rescue of the Thai soccer team trapped in a cave after Musk called him a “pedo guy” in a tweet.

Well it is laundry day! Sarah Silverman steps out in pyjama bottoms after dropping a huge bag of clothes at the cleaners
Sarah Silverman was spotting dropping a bag of dirty clothes off at a laundry in New York on Tuesday while dressed in tiny denim shorts.
So when it got chilly that afternoon, it seems the comedian was yet to pick up her washing and was apparently out of options.
At least that would explain why Sarah was spotted in her red tartan pyjama bottoms later that day, looking as though she had just rolled out of bed.
Just rolled out of bed?: Sarah Silverman was spotted wearing pyjama bottoms while out in New York on Tuesday
The 43-year-old was wrapped up warm and also sported a charcoal tweed coat, chunky grey scarf, black trainers and a black, red and white Boston Red Sox bobble hat.
Sarah was make-up free but the crisp cold air gave her cheeks a nice rosy glow.
Earlier in the day as she dropped off her laundry, the Saturday Night Live alum had been wearing the same hat and scarf.
That explains it: The comedian was spotted dropping clothes off at a laundromat earlier in the day
Keeping cosy: Sarah teamed her tartan pyjama bottoms with a wool coat, bobble hat and chunky scarf
However this time she was clad in a black and blue jumper, denim shorts and black stockings over fishnets, which were tucked into black lace-up boots.
Sarah looked like she was in a great mood as she made her way to the store clutching the huge bag, while listening to music through headphones.
The star is currently dating Michael Sheen, and the new couple were first spotted together at his 45th birthday party at Craig’s in West Hollywood on February 6.
Feeling the chill: No doubt the 43-year-old changed because she was too cold in her denim shorts and fishnets
The pair were also joined by his Masters Of Sex co-star Lizzy Caplan, Nicole Richie, Kate Hudson, Demi Moore and his former partner Kate Beckinsale and her husband Len Wiseman.
A source told Us Weekly: 'Sarah and Michael came and left together. She drove. When they left, Sarah opened her trunk so Michael could put all of his gifts in and then they drove away.'
Michael, who has 14-year-old daughter Lily with Kate, was in a relationship with his Midnight In Paris co-star Rachel McAdams until February 2013 and also dated VH1 presenter Carrie Keagan.
Meanwhile Sarah has dated comedians Kyle Dunnigan, Jimmy Kimmel and Russell Brand in recent years.

Few names in music are bigger than that of Metallica. The San Francisco thrash metal band that threw a middle finger in the air and took the Frank Sinatra route. They did things their way and that road eventually led to the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
The band wanted their first release to be titled, “Metal Up Your A$$,” but the band was told by their label that would not fly. The bands complied by naming it ‘Kill ‘Em All”, a nod to their lack of respect to the suits at the label.
Their partying ability was legendary and the band lived the rock’n’roll lifestyle to the full extent. Thankfully they made it through and continued to create some of the most iconic music of my generation.

The Going Places Club (eBook)
A Memoir Of Youth
de John Baldan
Sobre o livro
The Going Places Club is a collaborative memoir of childhood and adolescence. During the 1970s and early 1980s, the author and his best friend grew up in the town of Madison, New Jersey, fifteen miles west of Manhattan as the crow flies. Although not a large or particularly famous place, Madison is a quintessentially suburban town; readers will recognize its salient features if they grew up in suburbia during that time.
The author’s friend, Clay, possessed a spirit of observation and a sensibility beyond the typical childhood sensitivity to his surroundings. These qualities allowed him to see his hometown in a unique way, as an artist might, by standing outside it and observing it dispassionately. The detail of the prose is remarkable, practically pointillist. Clay’s vivid descriptions enabled John, this book’s author, to see his hometown in a way that he never could have on his own: in stereo, so to speak.
A year ago, the two boyhood friends decided to relate Clay's coming of age. Clay opened his prodigious memory bank, telling stories of family, friends, and other neighborhood characters, sending them to John. John ordered and polished the accounts, appending some reminiscences of his own, and made the narrative thread more prominent. The memoir is thus Clay’s story as refracted through John’s sensibility.
This coming-of-age memoir chronicles a friendship that has stood the test of time and of a world that has not, save in memory.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, commenting on the adopted by the European Parliament resolution on the suspension of negotiations on Turkey’s accession to the EU, said Ankara’s “open door” to Europe for immigrants if the EU will continue a hostile policy against the country, reports Reuters.
“You didn’t keep your promise. When the 50 thousand refugees came over the border, in Europe began to worry what would happen if Ankara opens the gate of their checkpoint. If you go further, we will open the doors at the border. Neither I, nor my people, not impressed with these threats”, — quotes the words of Erdogan, the Hurriyet Daily News.
He added that the unanimous support of European Parliament resolution calling on to “freeze” negotiations on Turkey’s membership of the EU “doesn’t matter”.
The European Parliament on 24 November voted unanimously for a resolution urging the European Commission and governments of member countries of the European Union to suspend negotiations with Turkey on its accession to the Union because of the “disproportionate reaction” of Ankara’s failed attempt of a military coup in July 2016.
“The European Parliament <…> strongly condemns the disproportionate repressive measures taken by Turkey in connection with the failed coup attempt”, — was stated in the resolution, which is Advisory in nature.
Informed that the resolution of the European parliamentarians “has no legal force,” said in an interview with Anadolu Minister of foreign Affairs of Turkey Mevlut Cavusoglu. He explained that Turkey is ready to take any constructive decision of the EU institutions and “objective criticism”, but would oppose if they detect a bias towards themselves.
Erdogan has repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction with the reaction of Western countries to events in the capital of the country in July 2016, criticizing them for supporting terrorism and a military coup and stating that those who worry about the fate of the rebels, can’t be friends with Ankara.
In addition, in November, Erdogan said that he discussed with the presidents of Russia and Kazakhstan with the possibility of joining the Shanghai cooperation organization. According to him, this step will enable Turkey to obtain more freedom of action regardless of, enter it in the EU or not.
That in Turkey there was a coup attempt, reported on 15 July, the Prime Minister Binali Yildirim. He said that a group of soldiers attempted to overthrow the government and declared that the authorities managed to keep control of the situation. Earlier Turkish media reported about the shooting in Ankara, the tanks at the airport of Ataturk and military helicopters in the skies over the Turkish capital.
Ankara considers the main instigator of the military coup living in the United States Turkish writer and former preacher Fethullah Gulen. In turn, he denies his involvement in the organization of the coup.

Thank you to State Representative Allen Skillicorn of Crystal Lake, Illinois and McHenry County, Illinois for bringing attention to this issue.
“It is a privilege to host such an important forum for inspiring foster care and adoption in Illinois. Unfortunately, our state ranks at the bottom in finding permanent homes for waiting children. It is especially critical to avert the terrible tragedies we have seen in our area.” State Representative Allen Skillicorn

With a vocal delivery that sends chills through your body, Devyn Moon hits us with “Much Love.”
Devyn Moon (previously known as LYTA) is a 24-year-old Asian American artist, singer-songwriter, and producer from Houston, Texas. Influenced by a blend of R&B, electronic, and bedroom-pop genres helped develop a unique genre-bending style within her own music and sound. Their style has been described as “alternatively icy and warm,” and they have also garnered attention from music outlets like Ones To Watch, Billboard, Forbes, OneEDM, Hype Magazine, AfterEllen, and New Lease Music. Their music has also been playlisted by notable musical curators like SXSW (which they would have participated in if not for the pandemic in 2019), Birp.fm, Aviencloud, and more.
Devyn Moon’s debut project has received notable mentions, including being named one of the “Best 10 Albums of Houston” in 2018 by The Houston Chronicle, next to artists, such as Fat Tony, and was also mentioned as No Vacation’s artist to watch early in their career. She has opened for numerous artists including Shoffy, RKCB, Dorian Electra, and Kina Grannis. Their 2020 collaborations with HOMALS, Luna Luna set them on a positive trajectory as well as receiving recognition from San Holo’s “bitbird” radio series.
Devyn Moon purposely incorporates other Asian American artists in her music, a majority of which are her friends. Kenji Chong, who choreographed the music video for her previous single, “Remedy” and most recently, Jheru who is featured in “Much Love.” Showcasing their work was an important factor for Devyn Moon, though Asian-American filmmakers and writers have made their way in Hollywood big screens in recent years, she feels that Asian Americans are still underrepresented in the music industry.

Local librarian to present escape room projects at state conference
STEAM programming for teens, reader’s advisory and so much more.
This year, however, is slightly different. I will be presenting one of these hourlong sessions.
My session is called “Escape Rooms: Where Do I Even Start?!” and I created it to be a helpful step-by-step guide to assist librarians who have little or no prior experience create escape rooms.
In the past few years, escape rooms have become immensely popular around the world. Businesses have been popping up where you can pay to experience various themed escape rooms. Last year, I wanted to create an escape room for teens at the William Jeanes Memorial Library. When I was trying to determine what theme to go with, I went with one of my favorite book series of all time, Harry Potter. From scratch, I created a Harry Potter-themed escape room, and on one (very hectic) day in January of this year, I had almost 40 teens experience the program.
After that day I uploaded the clues, notes, pictures and plans to a Facebook group for librarians. Ever since then, I have gotten messages from other librarians who have recreated my room at their libraries. Some have kept closer to my original plan, and some changed details, such as props. I loved seeing how each librarian recreated the room in his or her own way. I have estimated that over 500 people have enjoyed some version of my Harry Potter escape room, and I have even received a message from a librarian in Finland who recreated it there!
I will tell you right now … creating an escape room from scratch is hard. As the teen librarian for the past three years, I have created, planned and implemented dozens of events, and none of them are like creating escape rooms. Creating an escape room involves so much time and energy that it can be extremely daunting for someone to create their own (I know I was overwhelmed!). That is why I decided to create my step-bystep guide and submit it for consideration to present at PALA. I’m extremely happy that my submission was selected. One of my favorite parts about being a librarian is being able to share ideas with others all over the world!
Aside from the Harry Potter-themed escape room, I also created a “Stranger Things”-themed escape room that I held at the end of August. (If you missed it, I’ll be holding it again on Saturday, Oct. 20!) I’ll be detailing my experience creating both of these escape rooms in my presentation at PALA.
I am honored to be able to represent William Jeanes Memorial Library at this statewide conference, and I am excited to see what other escape room creations are in my future!
Sara Huff is the teen librarian at the William Jeanes Memorial Library and Nicholas & Athena Karabots Center for Learning, 4051 Joshua Road, Lafayette Hill.

On September 9, 1998, I went into the Paris Studios in Ronkonkoma, New York with Buddy Merriam, a world-class mandolin player (in the Bill Monroe style) and a good friend. We made the setting intimate - twenty friends sat at tables adorned by candles - and hence called it the Paris Café.
The songs and the empathy between Buddy and myself make this album very personal. I was close to nature - some of the music comes from time I spent sitting on a marble bench in a rock garden and listening to a particularly soulful mockingbird - and thinking about friends, about love, about family. My Reiki master’s presence deeply affected me as did some ongoing emotions about the death of my father many years before. You can hear all of that in the song Cry Myself to Sleep. (I somehow feel he is a songwriting partner on the other side.)
Live at the Paris Café is unique in my recordings since it’s mostly about one-to-one communication between two musicians and the sharing of those feelings with a small group of supportive people.

A spring thaw in the early nineteen-hundreds saw several Fort Vermilion area farms flooded. In one instance a farm building washed out, the movement of the water weakening its foundation enough to topple the structure. Timber for that building floated downstream on the Boyer River becoming snagged at a turn in the river as it passed the St. Louis Catholic Mission in Buttertown. Those timbers were pulled from the river and after a time were used to build this storehouse for the mission. The photo was created in May, 2013. Last Saturday night, the image became editing focal point as I showed my son how Lightroom 5 and NiK Software can be used – four versions were produced, some following his eye’s lead.
Listening to – Coldplay’s ‘Yellow,’ a song I worked through after all had gone to bed last night; the piano work is more difficult than the fretwork; the resonance and dissonance found in the chords and alternate tuning are captivating.
Quote to Consider – “Photographs, which cannot themselves explain anything, are inexhaustible invitations to deduction, speculation, and fantasy.” – Susan Sontag, ‘On Photography’

I like the texture of the shingles at the edge, I’d like to see more of that, The close distortion of perspective brings a lot here too.
Hey there, Jim:
Shingles, textures at the edge – taking image interest to the edge from focal point and plane of focus, releasing the shutter all the way to edits; I’m with you. I remember a moment when my daughter, experiencing growing pains at age 2 or 3 let my wife, my son and I know that her ‘edges’ (sides) hurt. Close distortion occurs with the Sigma 10-20 mm lens and adds to imperfect lines and sense of being within what is viewed.
You are amazing! I’m following…~amy
Good schtuff, Amy!
Thanks for following ….;)
Wow! These are terrific-I love how the timber and shingles are articulated in the images and the colors-especially the bluish tints really suggest cold, forgotten memories-
Hey there …
Thank you for seeing more of what these images hold. 😉

Downtown plaza: Plans move forward to create ‘outdoor room’
A multimillion dollar downtown plaza planned for the capital city is supported by the Topeka Lodging Association, a quiet group that isn’t regularly in the middle of city planning topics.
But Kurt Young, executive director of the organization that represents local hotel and motel owners, said the plaza’s creation will substantially impact his industry. He was first introduced to the idea of a plaza that would offer entertainment options downtown when serving on the Visit Topeka board and consultant Roger Brooks recommended one be built.
“When it comes to booking large-scale conventions and meetings in Topeka or any place, the meeting planner that you’re dealing with for that convention, whether it’s 300 guests or 1,000 guests, they always want to know what is there for our people to do in your fair city after 5 o’clock in the evening,” he said. “For us, it’s been difficult.”
Young said TLA members stepped up strongly to support plaza development efforts by approaching the transient guest tax committee and asking them to renew an expiring 1 percent guest tax and dedicate all or a portion of those funds to build the plaza. That puts $3.4 million toward building the plaza.
The key to the plaza’s success is being well programmed, he added.
“The is not just green space downtown,” Young said. “I have fought that battle even with some leaders in the community. They don’t understand that this is more than just a park downtown. This is a venue.”
Brooks gave the city statistics saying traffic to Topeka will triple as a result of a downtown plaza, he said, adding that it needs to be programmed with a minimum of 250 event days per year. To adequately handle scheduling, it will cost the city about $500,000 per year, and Young said the TLA stepped in on that aspect too.
The group worked to form a Tourism Business Improvement District, in which Topeka hoteliers voluntarily assess themselves $1 per sold room and the resulting funds would support plaza programming. Approval for the district is in process.
“Transient guest tax money is not local tax money,” he said. “So far, we have not asked for one dime of taxpayer money on this project.”
The plaza committee, on which Young serves, did a survey asking what people would like to see included in the downtown plaza. The plaza group has been working to develop an operation plan before designing the plaza, and part of their work has been contacting other communities to see how their plazas have benefited them.
“I can tell you in Rapid City, (Iowa), they were running in their downtown core area a little over 50 percent occupancy in their retail space,” Young said. “They’re now 100 percent occupied and have a waiting list. Their per square foot cost of leasable floor space has tripled. It’s phenomenal what it’s done for Rapid city, and we hope to do the same thing here.”
Chris Zimmerman, Smart Growth America’s vice president for economic development and director of the Governors’ Institute on Community Design, said downtown plazas are important in revitalization.
“In the 21st century, what we’re finding is that the key strategy for economic development is really place making,” he said, adding that can mean walkable neighborhoods, unique character and creating places people want to be.
Certain elements are important to downtown design, Zimmerman said.
Creating an outdoor room, he advised, because what’s around the plaza is important.
“It has that sense of openness but it has that sense of enclosure too,” he said. “That can be even more important than size. I want it bounded. The edges are really important. A lot of plazas don’t work because the edges die.”
Flexible space, Zimmerman added, is important because it’s difficult to know how the community will use it until it is actually in use.

To make baking powder, combine half a teaspoon of cream of tartar and a quarter teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda. This provides the equivalent of one teaspoon of baking powder.
What can I use if I dont have baking powder?
Here are 10 great substitutes for baking powder. Buttermilk. Buttermilk is a fermented dairy product with a sour, slightly tangy taste that is often compared to plain yogurt. Plain Yogurt. Molasses. Cream of Tartar. Sour Milk. Vinegar. Lemon Juice. Club Soda.
Can I make my own baking powder?
To make your own baking powder – some say with fewer metallic undertones than the commercial stuff – mix one part baking soda to one part cornstarch and two parts cream of tartar. For example: 1/4 teaspoon baking soda + 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar + 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch = 1 teaspoon homemade baking powder.
How do you turn baking soda into baking powder?
To make baking powder, mix one part baking soda and two parts cream of tartar. So, if you recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of baking powder, use 1 teaspoon of baking soda, mixed in with 2 teaspoons of cream of tartar.
Does baking soda work as baking powder?
Can I substitute baking soda for baking powder? Yes, as long as there is enough of an acidic ingredient to make a reaction (for 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, you need 1 cup of buttermilk or yogurt or 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar).
Will a recipe work without baking powder?
The best baking powder substitute is a mix of baking soda and cream of tartar. The cream of tartar adds acidity to the baking soda—it’s basically homemade baking powder. If a recipe calls for 1 teaspoon baking powder, add ¼ teaspoon baking soda with your dry ingredients and ½ cup buttermilk with the wet ingredients.
Can we make cake without baking powder?
Substitutes for Baking Powder If your recipe calls for baking powder, you can still make a tasty light cake by using baking soda and an acid. Even without baking powder, certain milk products that easily ferment when combined with baking soda can be a good replacement.
How can I substitute baking powder without cream of tartar?
If you don’t have cream of tartar on hand in your pantry, you can still use baking soda as a base for a baking powder substitute. You just need another acid to replace the cream of tartar, like lemon juice or white vinegar.
Do cookies use baking powder or soda?
Baking soda is typically used for chewy cookies, while baking powder is generally used for light and airy cookies. Since baking powder is comprised of a number of ingredients (baking soda, cream of tartar, cornstarch, etc.), using it instead of pure baking soda will affect the taste of your cookies.
What is the most common kind of baking powder?
Double acting baking powder is the most common form of baking powder and the one most widely available in supermarkets. In double acting baking powder, the first rise occurs when baking powder gets wet at room temperature. The second rise happens when the baking powder is heated.
What should I do if I accidentally used baking soda instead of baking powder?
If you need to substitute baking soda in place of baking powder, you will need to add an acid to the recipe in order to help the baking soda have the proper chemical reaction. This is easy, though! The most basic way is to use one part baking soda and two parts cream of tartar to create baking powder.
How do I make 1 teaspoon of baking powder?
Make Your Own To make 1 tsp, all you need is cream of tartar, cornstarch, and baking soda – the three ingredients used in baking powder. Use 1/2 tsp cream of tartar, and 1/4 tsp of the remaining ingredients, and you’re good to go! To make more, double or triple the proportions.
How much baking powder do I use in place of baking soda?
Though results may vary, you should use triple the amount of baking powder that you would use of baking soda. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of baking soda, use 3 teaspoons of baking powder as a replacement.
Can I use double acting baking powder instead of baking powder?
For recipes calling for single acting baking powders, you may substitute a double acting baking powder. In a double action product, such as baking powder, the products reacts once when it is exposed to moisture and then again when exposed to heat.
Why would you use baking soda instead of baking powder?
Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is a quick-acting leavening agent used in baking. When a recipe calls for both baking soda and baking powder, two things happen: the baking soda balances out any acidic ingredients in the recipe, while the baking powder gives it the extra lift it needs in the oven.
Is it bad to use baking soda instead of baking powder?
Yes, you can substitute baking soda for baking powder. When doing so, though, you must ensure that you have enough of an acidic ingredient to activate the baking soda adequately. Because baking soda is roughly 3 times more powerful than baking powder, you’ll need much less than the recipe calls for.
What happens if you don’t put baking powder in cake?
Problems. Baking a pound cake without baking powder can result in a heavy, grainy cake with an unappealing texture. The flavor will not change, but you’ll lose the traditional high, cracked top. Very careful mixing can prevent this, but the baking powder acts as an insurance policy for your pound cake.
What can you use instead of baking powder for pancakes?
The easiest swap for every 1 teaspoon of baking powder in your pancake mix is a blend of 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon of cornstarch.
Are bicarbonate and baking powder the same?
While both products appear similar, they’re certainly not the same. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, which requires an acid and a liquid to become activated and help baked goods rise. Conversely, baking powder includes sodium bicarbonate, as well as an acid. It only needs a liquid to become activated.

PLANS to turn a prominent industrial site in Stoke-on-Trent into a vibrant new neighbourhood have been given the green light.
Stoke-on-Trent City Council’s development control committee today [30 March] approved the vision for Capital&Centric’s The Goods Yard, paving the way for construction to start later this year. The £60m project will be a major investment in the region, one of three in Stoke-in-Trent backed by the Government’s Levelling Up Fund.
The Manchester-based social impact developers have worked in partnership with the council on the blueprint, with the approved plans featuring 174 design-led apartments, works spaces for creative start-ups, shops, bars, cafes and a new, bustling public square.
Tim Heatley, co-founder of Capital&Centric, said:
“This is a watershed moment for Stoke-on-Trent and the Goods Yard is going to be mega for the area. People have fully embraced the vision, there’s a real buzz about the future and the neighbourhood. Ambitious indie businesses are already getting in touch with us about setting up shop here and have started thinking about how they could use the spaces – that’s before we’ve even commenced construction.
“We want to make Stoke-on-Trent proud and create a neighbourhood with real identity, one that nods to the city’s rich heritage but writes a new, exciting chapter. Our focus has always been on creating a genuine community with everything available to support a city centre lifestyle. People calling the Goods Yard home will have shops, bars, cafes, businesses and green outdoor spaces to meet up right on their doorstep. We can’t wait to get going.”
The Goods Yard will write a new chapter for the former Swift House site, located next to Stoke-on-Trent train station – making it HS2 connected – and on the doorstep of Staffordshire University, the Trent and Mersey Canal and the A500.
Capital&Centric recently gave a first glimpse at new images of how the neighbourhood will look. The latest image shows the new public square, a flexible space for pop-up markets, live music or simply hanging out with friends. The design includes a nod to the railway heritage of the site, with rail-like paths meandering through lush green planters.
Elsewhere, a discreet ground level entrance will give way to the below-ground basements with looming brick vaulted ceilings, to be restored into a buzzing work and leisure space. Capital&Centric have also revealed details of the new build apartments, to feature exposed concrete details, high ceilings, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, Juliet balconies, and top-notch finishes.
Cllr Abi Brown, Leader of the City Council, said:
“It’s fantastic to see this hugely prominent site at a key gateway into Stoke-on-Trent receiving planning approval, meaning work to transform the Goods Yard can now begin. We’ve worked hard to bring this development forward quickly, with an exciting range of opportunities that appeal to residents, businesses and visitors to the city. It builds on other recent landmark developments such as Clayworks and the Smithfield Works concept in the city centre, as well as the increasing prominence of our canal network through the city.
“We're committed to fully delivering our three Levelling Up projects, building on our heritage and supporting a growing economy that's delivering new jobs and homes right across Stoke-on-Trent. We have a clear plan that is fuelling economic development and transforming major sites right across the city, and this is another tangible sign that Stoke continues to be on the up."
Other key features will see the former Network Rail signal box restored as space for a café/bar or restaurant, whilst the canalside re-opened to visitors.
Plans for the Goods Yard neighbourhood include:
- The Goods Yard Living: 174 design-led apartments for rent, with a mix of 1,2 and 3-bed homes. The new building is planned to feature private resident gardens, as well as resident facilities such as a café or bike repair shop, alongside other uses such as a gym or convenience store.
- Signal Box: A café-bar in what is currently a derelict Network Rail signal box.
- Vaults Warehouse: Restoration of the stunning, locally-listed, brick vaulted, below ground warehouse to create a combined work space and leisure venue.
- Canalside Jetty: Opening up the water’s edge to the public and creating a potential mooring point for visiting canal boats or a water taxi.
- The Pavilion: A contemporary building with an industrial feel that will provide 5,000sq.ft. of floor area in a double height space that will be made available for workspace and/or leisure uses.
- The Goods Yard Square: A bustling public square at the heart of the site, with seating, gardens and spaces for pop-up events, with pedestrian and cycle links to the surrounding area
- Hotel: A 150-bed hotel (to be delivered as part of Phase 2)
