Collector’s Guide: From the interior of the back cover of Wolverine #50. It’s the one with the cool “ripped” cover that looks like a manila file folder with claw marks in it. Yes, they really put holes in the cover – you can see the first page through it!
Dig Jim Lee? So do we. Click Jim Lee if you don’t believe us. We have some sweet posters and wrap-around covers from his X-men days.
Juan Carlos Montiel said:
Wolverine is my favorite comic book character. I’ve always felt he was the edgy character that was needed to keep the X-Men from getting lame. Writers let him go wild in the ’80’s, and even more so in ’90’s. I thought it was great when they finally revealed his origin in 2001. He still rocks.

Thank you for visiting Mars and commenting, Juan Carlos! We are huge Wolverine fans, too, with plans to share more of our favorite Wolvie moments in future posts. So many to choose from!

A receipe borrowed from Ashridge Trees’ website 🙂
This an excellent recipe which can be adapted to accommodate almost any hedge (and its fruit). Please remember to check that something is safe (if you are not sure) before cooking and eating it.
On average these will yield about 2kg of jelly
3lbs (1.4kg) crab apples, windfall apples or cooking apples
2lbs (900g) in total of blackberries, elderberries & sloes as available
2lbs (900g) in total of rowan berries, haws & rose hips as available
Juice of 1 lemon
Wash the apples, and if you are using cooking apples chop them roughly.
Wash and drain the blackberries, elderberries & sloes.
Wash and drain the rowan berries, haws & rose hips.
Put all the fruit except the rowan berry batch in a large, heavy- based pan with all bar a tablespoon of the lemon juice and add cold water to the level of the fruit.
In a separate pan put the rowan berry batch and the remaining lemon juice and cover with water.
Bring to the boil, then simmer gently until all the fruit is tender and well broken down – the rowan berry batch will take longer to soften.
Strain both panfuls through a scalded jelly bag for at least 4 hours. Do not squeeze the bag.
Measure the strained juice and weigh out 1lb (450g) sugar for each pint (575/600ml) of juice.
Pour the juice back into the pan and heat very gently. Add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
Bring to the boil and cook rapidly until setting point is reached.
Skim, pot and seal in the usual way.

You can only gain access to the Overwatch 2 beta for a few hours: you need to watch a total of 4 hours of streams – then the viewer will have access to the tests. It will last until May 16th.
Blizzard has apparently lived up to expectations, and the Overwatch 2 beta so far is getting a lot of praise. It could be a big game for Xbox Game Studios and Xbox Game Pass in 2023 if the purchase goes through without major disruption.


Three Republican presidential candidates on Monday debated topics ranging from climate change to impeachment in Detroit.
While President Donald Trump did not participate, his opponents in the Republican presidential primary – former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, former U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) and former U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) – were there. The event was held as part of the Forbes Under 30 Summit at the Masonic Temple.
Trump’s presence was certainly still felt at the debate.
“I wouldn’t be standing up here if Donald Trump wasn’t president,” Walsh said. “I’m concerned about the debt; I think tariffs are lousy, I can’t stand the fact that he kisses [North Korean leader] Kim Jong-Un’s feet every day. But this isn’t about the issues. This is about a guy who is a clear and present danger to this country. He’s a would-be dictator.”
For that reason, Walsh, a former Tea Party congressman, said he supports impeaching the president.
“Donald Trump’s a traitor. … If soliciting political dirt on your opponent [Joe Biden] from a foreign government [Ukraine] is not impeachable and betraying the country doesn’t demand you’re removed from office, then nothing [will],” Walsh said.
“When it comes to how impeachment might play politically, I don’t give a damn. I don’t care. This guy has betrayed this country. He’s told foreign governments to sabotage our elections. The politics of that be damned; he needs to be removed. There comes a point where politicians simply have to do the right thing, no matter how the politics are.”
Weld agreed, warning that if Trump is not impeached, Republicans may lose control of the U.S. Senate in 2020.
“If he hangs around and contests the election of 2020 and beyond and keeps fomenting civil war – his words, not mine – I think he’s going to destroy the Republican Party,” said Weld, who ran for vice president on the Libertarian ticket in 2016.
“If he succeeds in making those Republicans in the Senate walk the plank and defend him against the charges, they are all going to lose their seats, you are not going to see a Republican Senate, and I think you’re going to see the Republican Party split up and disappear.”
But Sanford disagreed, saying that the only good way to remove Trump from office is at the ballot box.
“I think what we’re setting up is validating Donald Trump’s actions,” Sanford said. “If you impeach in the House and don’t actually remove in the Senate, what it does is it allows him to say to the American public, ‘What I did was not wrong.’ … The question you have to ask is, do you want the impeachment merit badge or do you want him out of office?”
Still, Sanford would not rule out voting for Trump in 2020 if he once again wins the party’s nomination.
“The question that I have to ask is: what brings us more quickly to extinction, American debt or Donald Trump? And that’s a tough one, sadly,” Sanford said. “Trump is a temporary phenomenon, and a lot of what Bernie [Sanders] and others have proposed with $30-plus trillion in additional spending would be awfully tough.”
Weld said that he would not vote for Trump in 2020 and would instead vote for Democratic former Vice President Joe Biden if he is the nominee.
“I would never support Donald Trump for any office, ever, under any circumstances. I would certainly vote for Joe Biden over Donald Trump,” Weld said. “He’s only spending $1.6 trillion on climate change, as opposed to Sanders’ $16.3 trillion.”
If he loses the primary, however, Weld said that he would not run a third-party campaign.
Walsh also committed to not vote for Trump in 2020, but did not rule out the possibility of launching a third-party bid if he loses the Republican primary, possibly with a Democratic running mate.
“I’m doing this because I think Trump is unfit. I think he’s a whack job. I think he’s a horrible human being. I believe, in my bones, that he is a danger to this country,” Walsh said. “And if we give him four more years, our democratic institutions are at risk. There’s no way in hell I could vote for that guy again, ever.”
The GOP candidates frequently criticized the high costs of Democratic presidential candidates’ various policies. They recognized the importance of climate change, but argued that debt is an equally concerning problem.
“There are two extinction events for all of us as Americans. One will be climate change, and the other is the American debt,” Sanford said. “I think, in particular, to remedy, what we need to do is to take a real look at nuclear energy.”
Sanford said that he would love to expand wind, solar and hydro energy, but argued that in a highly industrialized society like the United States, it “won’t get us there.”
Walsh also warned that Republicans have to recognize that climate change exists and supports a carbon tax to address the issue, saying a solution less expensive than the progressive Green New Deal is needed.
“If the Republican Party does not wake up to this issue of climate change, the Republican party will die. … We’ve got to look at free market solutions, a carbon tax,” Walsh said. “I understand it’s really appealing, these Democrats – Elizabeth Warren and the rest – saying, ‘Free this and free that.’ We have a young audience right now; we’re bankrupting you. When you’re our age, you’re going to pay back the bills for all of this free stuff.”
Weld also supports a carbon tax.
“What we need to do is put a price on carbon to reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere,” Weld said. “That’s our duty – it’s not to pledge $16 trillion, which is what Sen. Sanders has said. And, indeed, most of the Democratic plans dealing with climate change are defined by the number of trillions of dollars.”
Addressing climate change is just one way that the Republican candidates said they can appeal to younger voters.
Another way, Weld said, would be to allow millennials to vote on their cell phones, which Weld says are already more secure than the current system thanks to fingerprint readers.
Several states have canceled their Republican primaries in an effort to help Trump’s re-election bid. Michigan has changed its rules to give the president a better shot at winning next year.
But Sanford said that is more a sign of Trump’s weakness than a setback for the three candidates who participated in the debate.
“I think that it says, more than anything, that some within the Trump organization [are] worried. Because in the world of politics, if you have a chance to pick up an 80 or 90% — which is what they allege their support to be — and you don’t pick it up it’s because somebody’s looking at numbers, that says their support’s a mile wide, but maybe an inch deep,” Sanford said.
Weld was one of 10 presidential hopefuls — and the only Republican — who participated in the NAACP national convention forum in July in Detroit.

What are the symbols present in the story "That Evening sun" by William Faulkner? And kindly discuss each symbol.
Well there are some symbols in the story, but I think mainly the people are symbols representative of the time. Think of Mr. Stovell who presents as both the economic system (he is a cashier at the bank) and the religious institutions (he is a Baptist deacon) of the South, refuses to pay Nancy for her services. Stovell is representative of all the bad in the South, and how the White take advantage of the Blacks, and don't get punished for it. He represents both the wealthy and the religious.
Another symbol is certainly the way that Faulkner uses darkness and lightness in the story. For Nancy "that evening sun'' represents the danger that her absent lover presents to her. Jesus—whose name is likely an ironic joke on Faulkner's part— represents danger and violence to Nancy, and he will wait until night has fallen to fall upon her. When it is light she feels safer, but once the darkness hits, danger is represented.
There are too many items that are potentially symbolic in this short story to really discuss them all in detail. Instead, let's focus on the most important symbols. The first comes in the title. The evening sun is setting. It symbolizes the end of an era—literally a day, but figuratively the time period that produced this situation. (Look at the changes mentioned in the first paragraph for examples.)
Next, consider Nancy's profession. It too is literal; many Black women did domestic labor. However, it is also symbolic: the Black women had to deal with their society's "dirty laundry."
Next, the scar. It too is literal—damage done to the body. However, it also symbolizes how life marks and disfigures African-Americans in this period. Some scars are visible; some are not.
One symbol could be the main character who,as presented, symbolizes the maltreatment of whites towards the blacks and the conflict between the two.Another symbol are the children who are not capable of understanding the adult world.Their simplicity and ignorance distinguished their fear of the dark from that of Nancy's.

Robin Williams was divorced in 2009, after he and his wife filed for divorce the year before, and he has said that he believes it was because of his drinking problems. He did note that he could tell his wife that he was sorry, but he said that that just was not always enough to get rid of the issues. The official reason for the divorce has been listed as irreconcilable differences, but Williams maintains it was his issues, which he called disgusting.
The actor did give up both drugs and alcohol at some point in the 1980s. However, he has not been been completely off them since then. Most notably, he began to drink again back in 2003. He was in Alaska, doing a movie, and he started drinking because he felt lonely. He then went to a rehab center in Oregon in 2006.

The actor’s long battle appears to be continuing, as recent reports indicate that he is at the Hazeldon Addiction Treatment Center, which is close to Lindstrom, Minnesota. However, the program that he is doing seems to be one that is aimed at helping people refocus before they relapse, so he may not have started using alcohol again.

A photo recently surfaced of the actor at a Dairy Queen near the treatment center, which was taken with a female employee of the shop.

This story is interesting in that it shows how constant battles with drug addiction may lead directly to a high assets divorce. In this case, saying that the differences are irreconcilable seems to be true, especially if Williams cannot control his actions on his own. Anyone considering a divorce on these types of grounds may want to look into how filing for that reason works in a legal sense and what steps they need to take.

Jen: Welcome to day two of Romantic Suspense week. Today we are pleased to host Karen Lopp. Karen, will you share a short bio with us?
Karen: Karen Lopp grew up in the Great Plains and now makes her home in the heart of New Mexico. A deep love for reading has colored her entire life and she and her three kids have read through entire libraries as they moved around the Southwest. When her youngest started college, Karen sat down to start telling her own stories. Her inspiration for adventure often comes from the view of the mountains and desert out her window. When she isn’t writing, she spends her days with her grandchildren and flying off to discover new places with her husband. She has published Westerns and Romantic Suspense, although no matter the genre you can be sure to find a healthy dose of danger. She prefers adrenaline rushes to sweet nothings whispered in her heroine’s ear.
Jen: Please tell us about your newest release and where the idea came from.
Karen: Splintered Lies first started with me seeing the name “Jerah” and falling in love with it. I knew I was going to have to write a book just for him. Ultimately Splintered Lies is about overcoming past issues and striving to find a positive future (of course there is a lot of danger and action that has to be lived through as well!) My heroine, Rissa is a woman who has never had a chance to live life, and Jerah is a man who thought he lost his love eight years ago and has struggled with that regret.
Jerah Qassem had never been more grateful for his years of undercover training than at this moment. Fingers tight around the tumbler to stop the tremors, he watched the apparition glide up to the bar, and wondered if someone had laced his drink with a hallucinogen. Mary was dead. He had nightmares or wet dreams about her most nights for the last eight years.
It wasn’t only the woman’s face that had his insides swirling like a hurricane. It was the way she moved. Long, smooth strides, shoulders straight and eyes darting around like a caged cat. Mary had always been casting looks over her shoulder as if she expected someone to jump out and chase her. But those legs were just as toned and shapely as Mary’s had been. She had been athletic and grabbed every chance she could to romp around the beach. Even the hair was the exact same color of ripened wheat and bounced just below her shoulders. Just like Mary had worn it.
Chills erupted all over his body and cold fingers caressed the nape of his neck. Unable to blink, Jerah stared at the ghost of Mary. The girl he had sent to her death in a fit of anger. The girl he had fallen in love with, yet had been too proud and ambitious to acknowledge until she was gone. Forever.
Jerah closed his eyes against the jarring memory of two firemen holding him back from the charred remains of the building he had sent Mary into as three body bags were carried out. A shudder rattled down his spine. He had relived that day too often. When he glanced back at the bar, the woman had taken a seat and smiled at the bartender. Jerah knew that smile. The same smile that once had almost melted his resolve to not get involved. He had had a career to build. Mary had stirred up thoughts of forever and love, things he hadn’t been ready for. The temptation had been great. But somehow, he persevered and tossed away the best thing that had ever happened to him.
Air exploded from his chest and Jerah shook his head. He did not believe in ghosts. Prickles sprang up his legs as if his blood had decided to flow again. He tugged his leaden body from the chair and stalked to the bar. “Give me a shot of Wild Turkey.” Needing the fortification, he gulped down the amber liquid. Fire burned down his throat. Nope, he wasn’t dreaming. Hands braced on the edge of the bar, he turned to the woman at his side.
Jen: Favorite historical period?
Karen: The late 1800’s, specifically the American West.
Jen: Most challenging aspect of writing Splintered Lies?
Karen: The research I had to do to make some of Rissa’s trials realistic. (I’ll let the readers guess what those were!)
Jen: Qualities a book must have in order to stay on your keeper shelf?
Karen: A loveable character.
Jen: Craziest thing you’ve done in the name of research?
Karen: My latest release had me wondering if the FBI would show up at my door based on all my Google searches!
Jen: In addition to romantic suspense, you write westerns. How do you balance the two genres?
Karen: My Westerns are romances and always have an element of suspense, I love the history, but writing a contemporary novel allows me to expand the careers and paths of my heroines, so for me, the two genres complement my writing desires
Jen: Name three places you would like as a setting for an upcoming book.
Karen: Larger cities provide a greater opportunity for criminals to hide so I’d go with, Washington DC, Atlanta, and Chicago.
Jen: Favorite family meal?
Karen: Lasagna and salad
Jen: E-book vs. print?
Karen: I’ve been converted to E-book
Jen: In your book, Rissa is a computer whiz. How did you develop her character?
Karen: My first career was a computer programmer and my son-in-law is in the field. We collaborated.
Jen: Cliffhanger vs. happily ever after?
Karen: Happily ever after.
Jen: What’s next for you?
Karen: I’m working on the next book, Fractured Lies. It is about an FBI agent and the third book will be about the CIA, as the conspiracy gets larger and larger. My next Western is one of my favorites and I am in the editing stage right now. It is about a woman who has been badly hurt and a playboy who never thought of love.


Alaska truckers to hit the road to end COVID vaccine mandates
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Alaskan truck drivers will make the journey from Anchorage to Eagle River on Sunday, in efforts to deliver support for their Canadian counterparts.
Anchorage Assembly member Jamie Allard organized “Alaska Freedom Convoy 2022″, an event to raise money for the truckers who rolled into Canada’s capital city of Ottawa last Saturday for a massive rally to protest COVID-19 vaccine mandates on both sides of the border.
American truckers gathered In Juneau the same day to show their support for Canadian truckers, and also called for an end to the mandates. Since Jan. 15, Canada has required all truckers who enter the country to be fully vaccinated. The U.S. enacted its own version of the mandate Jan. 22.
The trucking industry in both countries claim the mandates drive away drivers, and further impact supply shortages.
The protest in Canada has continued to gain political support. The day truck drivers gathered in Ottawa, the Premier of Saskatchewan Scott Moe announced on Twitter that he will end the mandate in his province very soon. The announcement followed Alberta Premier Jason Kenney’s call to end the vaccine requirement.
The Feb. 6 rally starts at Cabela’s in South Anchorage. The convoy will roll out at 1:30 p.m. and ends at the Eagle River Lion’s Club, where a rally will take place starting at 3 p.m.

It's beginning to look a lot like holiday launch season. GHOST has officially announced Vegan Gingerbread Cookie as a seasonal flavor from the brand this holiday season.
Not much is known but based on seasonal launches in the past, we expect this to be available to their two key retailers GNC and Vitamin Shoppe as well as online at GHOSTLifestyle.com.
Gingerbread Cookie will be the second limited flavor launch on the vegan line. Coconut Ice Cream was the first that was not an every day flavor.
I am over here kicking myself because this would have been great for a FIt Butter, but I am sure it is going to kill in their vegan line. I have not tried it yet, but I think it is going to be just fine. I actually prefer their vegan to their whey, just one man's opinion.

Discovery of novel quantum phenomena in kagome materials including superconductors
Speaker: M. Zahid Hasan (Princeton University)
Electrons organize in ways to give rise to distinct phases of matter such as insulators, metals, magnets or superfluid or superconductors. In the last ten years or so, it has become increasingly clear that in addition to the symmetry-based classification of matter, topological consideration of wavefunctions plays a key role in determining distinct or new quantum phases of matter in magnetic materials. In this talk, I briefly introduce realizations of Chern, Weyl and Kagome magnets in spin-orbit materials. As examples, I present how tuning a topological insulator whose surface hosts an unpaired Dirac fermion can give rise to emergent Weyl fermion and “fractional” Fermi surfaces and leading to strongly correlated magnetic, Chern or many-body states of matter in kagome lattice systems. These “magnetic topological quantum matter” harbor novel and unprecedented properties that may lead to the development of next generation quantum technologies.

The condo is continuing its ascent of the Toronto area real estate market with the average price of re-sale apartments cracking the $500,000 barrier in the second quarter this year.
The average condo cost $532,032 — 28.1 per cent higher than the second quarter last year, according to a report from the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) this week.
In Toronto, which accounted for 72 per cent of second quarter condo sales, the average price was $566,513.
Their relative affordability makes condos attractive to many households, especially first-time buyers, said TREB.
While the Toronto area is a buyer's market overall, sellers are still in the driver's seat of the condo sector, said Gurpreet Thind, director of business development for Condos.ca.
Even with fewer sales of detached and semi-detached homes, prices for low-rise housing remain out of reach for many buyers, he said.
There are areas where condos will sit on the market for two or three weeks. But every week there are stories among his fellow agents of competitive bids that raise prices over asking, said Thind.
Those properties tend to be in more desirable neighborhoods or buildings. Liberty Village and King St. W. are popular, especially buildings with good layouts and premium touches such as gas stoves.
Two-bedroom units are sought after, said Thind.

USA v. Hossain, Delowar Mohammed
[SDNY] Delowar Mohammed Hossain from Bronx, NY, was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport while allegedly attempting to travel to Afghanistan to join the Taliban in order to kill Americans. He was charged with attempting to provide material support to terrorism. Beginning in the fall of 2018, Hossain expressed his desire to join the Taliban and fight against American forces. Over the months that followed, Hossain attempted to recruit a confidential source of the FBI ("CS-1") to travel with him from the United States to Pakistan, and then to cross the border into Afghanistan to join the Taliban.

The entire collection of Catholic Parish register microfilms held by the National Library of Ireland ( NLI ) will be made available on-line - for free - from 8th July 2015 onwards. On that date, a dedicated website will go live, with over 390,000 digital images of the microfilm reels on which the parish registers are recorded
The NLI has been working to digitise the microfilms for over three years under its most ambitious digitisation programme to date.
The parish register records are considered the single most important source of information on Irish family history prior to the 1901 Census. Dating from the 1740s to the 1880s, they cover 1,091 parishes throughout the island of Ireland, and consist primarily of baptismal and marriage records
The NLI`s Ciara Kerrigan, who is managing the digitisation of the parish registers, said : "We announced initial details of this project last December, and received a hugely enthusiastic response from people worldwide with an interest in Irish family history.
We are delighted to announce that the project has been progressing well, and we will be able to publish all the digitised records on-line from 8th July onwards "

When the Diversity Council of Rochester and Rochester Civic Theatre partnered five years ago, their main goal was “Celebrating Diversity and Inclusivity in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.” The long list of events that has been presented has received overwhelming support from both presenters and participants. Fundamentally, the partnership has lead to looking at injustice from a theatric point of view. The goal is to sustain a welcoming attitude to all people, keeping that in mind when making decisions for the Rochester community.
Gregory Stavrou, Executive Director of RCT says, “We asked several focus groups for input on future programming. We also raised the question, ‘how are we doing?’ Many ideas were floated and the decision was made to highlight women’s inclusiveness. It was also suggested we expand the conversation and events.” According to Hollybeth Anderson, Rochester Civic Theatre’s Committee Outreach Chair, “We are continuing to broaden our programming to be effective in our outreach. In 2014 the celebration and programs will run January through March with the theme ‘The Power of a Woman’s Voice’.” An analogy Stavrou used to explain the decision to concentrate on women’s issues was that of a garden. “When looking back, a lot of weeds have been pulled, but the garden is only as good as the soil; it’s time to fertilize and work on the soil.” “It’s time to celebrate women and refocus on issues. It means more than adopting male models for the organization where they work; it means more than providing services for victims of sexual exploitation or physical and mental abuse. That means listening to women, not telling them what they should do,” says Stavrou.
WOMEN ON WEDNESDAYS
JAN. 15, 29 & FEB. 12, 5:30 – 7 P.M.
Stavrou is very excited about an event, called Women on Wednesdays, a series of three facilitated discussions covering issues related to incarcerated women, support for women in abusive or challenging relationships, and contemporary women in visual, performing
and literary arts. “The conversations will revolve around how we, in Rochester, have evolved when it comes to major issues. A variety of people have been invited to join in,” says Stavrou. Extending the inclusiveness concept to the county jail, Stavrou, along with help from Stacy Sinner from Olmsted County Corrections, is embarking on a seven-month project with incarcerated women. “They have amazing resiliency,” he says.
I HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK UP
JAN. 11 THROUGH FEB. 2
Inspiration for this event was taken from Malala Yousafza, the girl in Pakistan shot for speaking out in favor of education for women, who said, “I have the right of education. I have the right to play. I have the right to sing…I have the right to speak up.” Jean Marvin, a member of the Rochester Civic Theatre Outreach Committee, says, “We are taking part of her quote as our theme and have asked area women to share a story about a time in their life when they said or did something that was important to them or someone else. A time when being a woman didn’t keep them from making a difference, when the voice of another woman had an impact.” Stories and photos of about 20 women from many walks of life, ages and diverse backgrounds will be displayed in the theatre lobby. Photographer Ann Eldredge of Tangible Moments studio worked on the project. “She has certainly done a wonderful job of presenting the beauty of each of these women,” Marvin says.
THE POWER OF A WOMAN’S VOICE…
AMPLIFIED — FEB. 22, 7:30 P.M.
A sequence of inspirational performance pieces will exemplify the concept of multi-faceted art and its influence on women in the Rochester area. “People learn in different ways. We are hoping to produce a major impact by providing a sequence of beauty: hearing a poet read her work, an expression of self though dance and the performance of music,” says Stavrou.

Customer Ratings & Reviews
TripAdvisor Traveler RatingBased on 1897 reviews
Nice clean room, great location for dining, shopping and beach day ! We loved the local restaurants and shopping. The room was spacious and clean. The staff was very accommodating. The pool was small but nice.
Good location, nice hotel!
This was very close to the beach, but not really a "beach" hotel per se. It had lots of walkable amenities around. Rooms were nice, beds were comfy, and staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good also.
Noise with a View
We have stayed at this hotel twice. Once on the 20th floor with Ocean Views and once on the 7th Floor with Ocean Views. The view was spectacular but the noise of nearby reversing vehicles and maintenance works made it impossible to get a peaceful night's sleep.We found the staff very obliging and helpful. Our rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast menu was very restricted with no variation of menus over the week for Westerners. The hotel was ideally located, allowing easy access to beach and public transport.
Friendly and courteous from chek-in to check-out. Staff was helpful with questions. Breakfast buffet was excellent. We made use of the exercise room and the swiming pool.. Location is great with lots of restaurants and shopping close by.
Waikiki Parc Hotel
Location was excellent. Room was basic but lacked soft touches, like lighting - lights had to be either all on or all off, the full effect of the lighting was hard and cold. Soft bedside lighting should help as well as some colours, the room felt white and not cosy. The breakfast was good - it was a pity the restaurant was not open at other times for snacks or meals, or even as a bar.

EQS-News Relief Reports 2020 Financial Results and Provides Business Update
EQS Group-News: RELIEF THERAPEUTICS Holdings AG / Key word(s): Annual Results
Relief Reports 2020 Financial Results and Provides Business Update
Geneva, Switzerland, April 15, 2021 - RELIEF THERAPEUTICS Holding AG (SIX: RLF, OTCQB: RLFTF) ("Relief" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company with its lead compound RLF-100TM (aviptadil) in advanced clinical development to treat COVID-19 induced lung injury, today announced its 2020 financial results for the year ended December 31, 2020 and provided a business update.
"The past year has been an incredibly productive and rewarding one for all of us at Relief," said Raghuram (Ram) Selvaraju, Chairman of the Board. "We have had an opportunity to make a true difference in fighting the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic with the development of RLF-100(TM) to treat critically ill patients. With the goal of bringing this potential treatment to patients as expeditiously as possible, we entered into important partnerships and made key hires, adding executives to our team who have strong expertise in important areas such as clinical development, regulatory and commercialization."
He continued: "Critical for the future growth of our Company, we also have taken a very important first step to broaden our development pipeline. We entered into a collaboration and license agreement for ACER-001, a compound in late-stage development for orphan diseases where patients are in need of better treatment options. We plan to continue to advance the development of our current programs and further grow our pipeline in the year ahead. I am excited about Relief's future as we work to provide patients with therapeutic relief in serious diseases with high unmet medical need."
Recent Key Development and Corporate Highlights:
Clinical Development Highlights (RLF-100)
- In March 2020, a U.S. phase 2b/3 trial of RLF-100(IV) for the treatment of patients with critical COVID-19 with respiratory failure commenced.
- In June 2020, RLF-100 (IV) was awarded Fast Track designation by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) /acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) associated with COVID-19.
- In July 2020, the FDA granted Expanded Access Protocol (EAP) designation for the treatment of respiratory failure induced by COVID-19 with RLF-100 (IV). Treatment was made available to patients who had exhausted standard therapies and were not eligible for the phase 2b/3 trial due to confounding medical conditions. Data from the first 21 patients in the EAP showed promising results demonstrating that some critically ill patients with COVID-19 experienced substantial clinical improvement when treated with RLF-100.
- In January 2021, Relief, its partner NeuroRx, and the Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative (QLHC) of San Francisco announced that NeuroRx and QLHC had signed a Clinical Trial Participation Agreement for the inclusion of inhaled RLF-100 in the I-SPY COVID-19 Clinical Trial. Quantum Leap is the sponsor of the I-SPY COVID-19 Trial, a platform trial that is assessing multiple drugs for the treatment of patients with critical COVID-19 who are hospitalized or in intensive care units.
- In January 2021, Relief and AdVita Lifescience GmbH signed a binding term sheet for Relief to acquire all shares of AdVita. Relief will gain access to all AdVita assets including future pending IP rights that may cover RLF-100 inhaled formulation specifications for the potential application of inhaled aviptadil in the treatment of lung diseases such as ARDS and Pulmonary Sarcoidosis.
- In February 2021, Relief's partner NeuroRx announced the initiation of a U.S. phase 2b/3 trial evaluating inhaled RLF-100 in patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 in order to prevent progression to respiratory failure.
- In March 2021, Relief's partner NeuroRx reported topline results (28-day and 60-day) from the U.S. phase 2b/3 trial evaluating RLF-100 (IV) for the treatment of patients with critical COVID-19 with respiratory failure. On the basis of the findings, NeuroRx plans to apply to the U.S. FDA for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) and subsequently plans to submit a New Drug Application (NDA).
- In March 2021, NeuroRx announced that RLF-100 had been selected for inclusion in TESICO (Therapeutics for Severely Ill Inpatients with COVID-19), a phase 3 multicenter clinical trial that will include the United States and multiple foreign countries, that is being sponsored by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH).

by Chris Redlich
A few months had passed since my return from an Alpine hunting trip on New Zealand’s South Island and many experiences had made a lasting impression. One thing that stood out, apart from the fantastic hunt and breathtaking scenery, was the use of my outfitter’s rifle, a Tikka T3 Lite Stainless.
A lot has been written on the Tikka T3 and for that reason I won’t be conducting another review – more an appraisal of an already immensely popular hunting rifle based on my own field experience.
To begin with, the Tikka T3x launched in Australia in 2016 is an improved version of the previous T3 but the overall appearance, silky smooth action and inherent out of the box accuracy is still the same. This is true across the entire T3x range, whether it be the blue action and wooden stock or the stainless synthetic combination.
My New Zealand guide, Dave, uses a Tikka T3 Lite Stainless in 270 Win and 300 WSM. Both have their triggers lightened to 1.5lb and are almost identical apart from the suppressor on the end of the barrel. Understandably, the 300 WSM had the biggest suppressor. As far as loan rifles go, they shouldered and shot perfectly. The sighting-in process between the 270 Win and 300 WSM was a breeze, with the 270 Win printing around an inch lower than the 300 WSM at 100m.
The suppressors remained attached during the sighting-in as they would during the hunt. The point of impact can vary with the suppressor on or off, as it has an effect on the harmonics of the barrel during the firing process. This set-up of two different calibres on exactly the same rifle platform is a smart move by Dave and makes perfect sense. A client who requires a loan rifle to hunt the chamois and tahr can pick up either rifle, point comfortably and shoot without hesitation. I can’t speak on behalf of other hunters but this worked well for me.
After my success with the Tikka T3s in New Zealand, taking one-shot kills with the 270 Win on a chamois in appalling conditions and a tahr, high in the mountains with the 300 WSM, the power and accuracy of the 300 WSM combined with the feel of the Tikka T3 appealed to me and I had to make one my own.
I thought that if I was going to buy a T3x Lite, why not go one better and make it a Superlite. I ordered my first-ever Tikka T3x Stainless Superlite rifle in 300 WSM. There were none available in Australia at that time so I had to wait for it to come from Finland. Straight away it felt perfect. A great combination of light weight, feel and balance. Like all Tikka bolts, the action was silky smooth. The fluted barrel of the T3x Superlite contributes to the weight reduction and is the only difference compared with the standard T3x Lite.
The new synthetic stock is ambidextrous with a nice palmswell on the pistol grip, and its modular design has optional handgrips that can be ordered from Tikka if you want to customise the fit. I was happy with the feel. The magazine holds three of the fat 300 WSM cartridges and I bought an additional spare magazine. As well as the rifle I picked up some reloading equipment, including a Redding die set, brass and bullets.
On recommendation I settled on DNZ single piece alloy mounts. Made in the US, I knew nothing of them before, but after doing some homework I’ve found they’re a popular mount and provide great strength while keeping the weight down.
The base of the mount fastens firmly to the top of the receiver using the supplied Allen cap screws to the existing threaded holes of the Tikka. The scope I fitted for starters was a Swarovski Z5 with plex reticle off my .284 Win hunting rifle. While I thought it a good idea at the time, sharing a scope between two rifles started to become a pain and I grew tired of sighting in the rifles between scope changes. I’ve since bought and mounted a Swarovski Z3 3-10×42 with 4A reticle. The new Z3 is much more compact and a better fit on the Tikka.
Prior to my first fire I lowered the pressure of the adjustable trigger to the minimum of 2.5lb. For the running-in of the rifle I used Federal Power Shok 180-grain Soft Points. After each three-shot group I would run a patch of solvent through the barrel, then a dry patch and refire. The running-in process doubled up as my sighting-in.
Straight away I fired a sub MOA group with the Federal ammunition which is testament to the claim of Tikka and its sub 1’’ MOA guarantee. I won’t lie – the 300 WSM does have a little kick off the bench. However, it’s not reflected at the other end on the paper target. Shot after shot, the Tikka lived up to its reputation as an accurate out-of-the-box rifle.
My reloads consisted of 165-grain and 180-grain Nosler AccuBonds, seated in Norma brass behind AR2209 powder ignited by CCI Large Rifle Magnum primers. My Kiwi guide’s 300 WSM was firing 150-grain projectiles and although they performed well, I already have rifles firing 150-grain projectiles in other calibres. I decided to stick with the heavier projectiles in .30 calibre.
Using Nick Hervey’s and ADI reloading books for reference, I loaded up from minimum and settled on 66 grains of AR2209 for the 165-grain AccuBonds producing 3057fps average MV (muzzle velocity) and 64 grains of AR2209 for the 180-grain AccuBonds producing 2955fps average MV, all loaded to an overall length of 73mm to fit in the magazine. They both consistently produced sub MOA three-shot groups at 100m and printed almost the same on the target. I decided to stick with the 180-grain projectile as my preferred choice.
Although there was a difference of around 100fps in muzzle velocity between the two projectiles, I felt the 180-grain AccuBond, with a little more weight and better ballistic co-efficient, would perform better at extended ranges for accuracy and knockdown. Time to test the rifle at long range. Before the current crop of wheat was planted at the farm where we live, I set up a target at 300m on top of a contour. After working out my fall of shot of approximately 250mm, I recorded a 3’’ MOA three-shot group in a 15km/hr crosswind with two of the shots within an inch. For such a light rifle that is purely for hunting and not designed for target shooting, it shoots superbly at long range.
Not content to stick with one bullet, I loaded up some 168-grain Barnes TTSX behind 65 grains of AR2209 for 3013fps. The Tikka T3x was proving not to be fussy when it comes to different loads and the Barnes bullets also produced outstanding accuracy on paper at 100m. I loaded up half a box of 168-grain Barnes and the other half with 180-grain AccuBonds.
In the field
Load development completed just in time for the roar, I check-sighted the 300 WSM before the hunt. Using the same target for each, both brands of bullet had the same point of impact. With this kind of consistency I was confident in taking the Tikka T3x for its first trip afield. I loaded one magazine with Barnes, the other with AccuBonds.
The 2017 roar couldn’t come quick enough and I was keen to put the Tikka to good use in the hills. Although my main deer hunting rifle is a custom Brno in 284 Win, it’s heavy rifle compared to the T3x Superlite. It was a welcome change and an absolute breeze to.
Success came my way with the 300 WSM responsible for taking a large red stag and mature hind. The Tikka T3x and 168-grain Barnes TTSX combination performed flawlessly with both animals grassed immediately. The first hunting shots from the Tikka resulted in two kills – you can’t ask for more than that.
I still wasn’t completely satisfied with the trigger pressure of 2.5lb so I took the rifle to gunsmith Jim Kent of Toowoomba, who modified the trigger to achieve a new minimum pressure of 1.75lb. This is closer to the trigger weights of my other hunting rifles and feels much better. While Jim had the Tikka, I asked him to bead blast the surface of the Stainless Steel receiver, bolt and barrel to reduce the amount of glare. Glare is an important consideration when stalking a deer and the alteration was money well spent.
When I picked up the rifle I was impressed with the feel of the trigger and the non-reflective matt finish. More recently I took the Tikka T3x on a pig hunt. As you’d expect from this powerful cartridge, four wild pigs, including two large boars, fell instantly to the 300 WSM using 180-grain Nosler AccuBonds.
I’m very happy with my Tikka T3x Stainless Superlite. Based on field experience across the ditch, the decision was made to acquire a rifle I could take on my next international hunt and easily buy a box of readily-available factory ammo with confidence to know it will perform well. I don’t think anyone could argue the 300 WSM chambering has more than enough hitting power combined with outstanding accuracy to take out that once-in-a-lifetime trophy.
Off the bench the 300 WSM kicks a little but is not scary. The recoil is negligible for a one-off shot at a trophy or meat animal. As far as practical hunting rifles go, the Tikka T3x Superlite chambered in 300 WSM is the perfect mountain combination for taking medium to large game at extended ranges.

What is Wayfinding?
Wayfinding is a visual and physical system that guides us through a space.
Navigating an unknown space creates stress and distances individuals from a sense of place. The better an interior environment draws people to their desired destination, the more opportunity they will have to form a lasting positive connection with the space. The best planned interiors utilize a variety of cues to intuitively move people throughout the environment. Compression and expansion of space can help direct traffic flow and changes in illumination levels can draw the eye, and therefore the individual, to an area of interest.
These wayfinding design features subconsciously direct movement by channeling our natural tendencies. Focal points and landmarks are more conscious wayfinding tools that help draw attention to important destinations, establish distance, or confirm our sense of location. Finally, the most obvious, and sometimes the most poorly implemented, examples of wayfinding include banners, graphics, and directories.
Wayfinding signage and graphics present incredible opportunity if utilized well, but can be equally as damaging to Placemaking if implemented poorly. Sometimes it’s not the lack of signage that makes a space hard to navigate, but rather having too much.
Positive outcomes for a successful wayfinding solution include:
- Establishment of a clear path of travel to and from key destinations
- Use of intuitive design features to create effortless and stress free movement
- Identification of key landmarks and focal points to create spatial awareness
- Utilization of accessible signage and drectory freatures, graphics, technology, and messaging

Mommy photo challenge!
Why a mommy photo challenge? This is why …
When I get a call for a newborn session I always try to get the whole family involved in the photo shoot. The response I usually get from all the moms is “I’m not ready to be photographed” or “Don’t worry about me, I just want photos of my baby” or “I’ll wait until my baby is one to get into the photos”.
I know that right after having my children, I didn’t look how I wanted to look. I was carrying about 30 lbs. of extra weight and I was so tired. I tried to get in front of the camera for some photos with my children and I wish I did it more than I actually did. I realized now that it really didn’t matter how I looked. When my children look back at the photos we did take together they look at them with love and admiration and are happy to have had photos taken with me when they were just babies. Let’s face it, all kids think their moms are beautiful, and they are RIGHT!
Lisa wasn’t any different than any other mom who preferred not to have her photo taken soon after her twins were born. I had to do some convincing and it was a challenge. I promised her that she would look great in the photos. I gave Lisa some little advice that would give great result. Want to know what it was? Get your hair and make up done professionally! That morning, Lisa left her children at home with her amazing husband and went off to get her hair and make up done for the session. She looked great!
Once I was finished with editing the photos, I sent Lisa her password for her private online gallery. That same day, I received a beautiful email from Lisa thanking me for giving her that push she needed to be in the photos! I was so happy that she loved the photos especially the photos of her with her babies.
I challenge all the mommies to get in the photo too!
This Mother’s day, don’t be the one behind the camera. Have your photo taken with your children because Mommy is important too!

A Slovenian Shopping Mall is Transforming Into an Actual ‘Bitcoin City’
Slovenia’s largest shopping city, aptly named BTC City, is on its way to becoming the world’s first genuine “Bitcoin City.” Slovenia’s Prime Minister, Miro Cerar, recently visited to open the Beyond 4.0 international conference, and to learn more about BTC City’s strategy to become a Bitcoin City.
BTC City is a giant shopping mall in Slovenia and the testing playground for Eligma, the AI-driven, and blockchain-based cognitive commerce platform are utilized by many different retailers in the shopping complex.
On Cerar’s visit to BTC City, the Slovenian State Secretary Tadej Slapnik bought him a cup of coffee, paying with Bitcoin using Elipay – Eligma’s payment system.
Eligma – Creating A Crypto Playground
BTC City is an excellent test ground for Eligma, a controlled environment where they can slowly introduce Elipay into every store, bar, and hotel in the shopping center.
“The shopping center presents a micro snapshot of global commerce because it encompasses a large number of very different establishments that present an array of challenges for Eligma on a scale, manageable in our first development phase.”
More and more retailers are implementing Eligma’s Elipay into their stores, giving their customers the option to pay with Bitcoin now and shortly Bitcoin Cash and Eligma’s token.
https://t.co/Z3KtlmZwbi Shop in @BTC_City, offering health products, has joined the list of stores to offer #Elipay!
From left to right: Samo Klavora (https://t.co/Z3KtlmZwbi), Dejan Roljic (Eligma) #cryptocurrencies pic.twitter.com/AmFU5JX4lW
— Eligma (@eligmacom) May 30, 2018
The Eligma team has big dreams for their platform – the plan is to transform BTC City into a unified online platform to simplify payment and business processes and enable the creation of a central warehouse, used by all stores.
By doing so, the goal is to drastically lower retailers’ ownership costs by using their stores as showrooms and only keeping the essential items in stock.
The sprawling BTC City is 250,000 square meters. It includes the main shopping mall called CityPark, 16 smaller shopping malls, a multiplex with twelve screens, and it also has the recently opened Plaza Hotel Ljubljana.
According to Eligma, BTC City annually hosts over 21 million visitors.
There is also a market, a mini-golf course, a waterpark with a spa center and an entertainment center with a casino, bowling, 3D cinema as well as two high rise office buildings. Including the Crystal Palace, the tallest building in Slovenia.
The city will be an ecosystem for advanced technologies, they are not just limiting themselves to blockchain and cryptocurrencies either but will also be experimenting with AI, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and machine learning.
“Bitcoin City will create an open society which will enable users to pursue their missions as well as develop their business environments in line with their wishes, needs, and operating policies.”
Aside from the number of stores that are already accepting crypto payments, there are also one-way cryptocurrency ATMs on the premises, a Blockchain Think Tank, and the “biggest crypto mining rig in Slovenia.”

Without Fear: The Life & Trial of Bhagat Singh
Author: Kuldip Nayar
Number Of Pages: 210
Publisher: HarperCollins India
Details: Language: English
About the Book
Bhagat Singh (1907-1931) lived at a time when India's freedom struggle was beginning to flag and when Mahatma Gandhi's non-violent, passive resistance to partial liberation was beginning to test the patience of the people, The youth of India was inspired by Bhagat Singh's call to arms and enthused by the defiance and daredevilry of the army wing of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association to which he and his comrades, Sukhdev and Rajguru, belonged. His call, Inqtlilab Zindabadl, became the war-cry of the fight for freedom.
When Bhagat Singh was executed by the British after a sham trial for his involvement in the Lahore Conspiracy Case at the age ofrwenry-three, he was glorified by Indians as a martyr - for his youth, his heroism, and his steadfast courage in the face of certain death. It was only many years later - after Independence in 1947- that his jail writings came to light. Today, it is these works that set Bhagat Singh apart from the many revolutionaries who laid down their lives for India. They reveal him as not just a passionate freedom- fighter who believed in the cult of the bomb but a widely read intellectual inspired by the writings of, among others, Marx, Lenin, Bertrand Russell and Victor Hugo; a revolutionary whose vision did not end with the ouster of the British, but who looked further, towards a secular, socialist India.
In IPithollt Fear: The Life and Trial 0/ Bhagat Singh, Kuldip Nayar takes a close look at the man behind the martyr: his beliefs, his intellectual leanings, his dreams and his despair. It explains for the first time why Hans Raj Vohra turned approver and betrayed Bhagat Singh, and throws ne
