In an excelent article published in CNN, journalist Fiona Dunlop considerered LIsbon as Europe´s coolest capital. The full article can be read HERE
(CNN) -- What makes a city "cool"?
If it means being loaded with atmosphere, charm, great food and nightlife, yet ignored by the bulk of travelers, then Lisbon deserves consideration as Europe's coolest capital.
1. Nightlife that can outlast Madrid's
If you think Madrid stays out late, try a night out in Lisbon.
The city is less about heaving clubs and more about a roving nocturnal flow that ends (maybe) when dawn rises over the Tagus River.
Website Globe Spots, awarded Portugal with the Top of the Top 10 countries fo 2013. Here´s how they decribe it:
"Portugal oozes 'old European charm'. Medieval towns and historical quarters are full of squares, churches and monasteries. Narrow lanes are flanked by old skew houses with crooked balconies draped in drying laundry. Here, neighbours still share the latest gossip or discuss politics from their windows. Pastry shops and taverns are found in such abundance it makes you wonder whether the Portuguese eat at home at all. The pace is soothingly slow and any day seems to be a good day for a drink. Chances are that after a few days in Portugal, you'll find yourself sitting in a small square with a glass of tawny port in your hand, no matter whether you previously liked the stuff or not. It's just one of those things Portugal does to you."
20 selected towns were competing for the prestigious title of Best European Destination 2012. After a three weeks’ period of online voting Porto is elected the Best European Destination 2012 and wins the title ahead of 19 big european cities.
Lisbon, the Portuguese Capital, was awarded the 8th place.
The 4th Eurobest Advertising Festival, Europe’s leading awards and annual event for creative advertising and communications, will be held on November 28th, 29th and 30th this year in Lisbon, Portugal.
"Eurobest is unique as a creative festival in that it moves around Europe from year to year. After success in Stockholm, Amsterdam and Hamburg, we are delighted to be bringing this festival of creativity, inspiration and learning to the beautiful city of Lisbon, and would like to thank the Mayor of Lisbon and all the creative industries of Portugal for making us so welcome," said Philip Thomas, CEO of Cannes Lions, organisers of Eurobest. "We especially thank our official representative in Portugal, Multimedia Outdoors Portugal, for their wonderful support."

Read about our lifesaving impact in our community and beyond in the 2022 Annual Highlights Report.
Thanks to an aggressive spay/neuter initiative and successful programs and services aimed at keeping pets in the loving homes they already have, HRA, like many organizations across the country, is seeing a decline in intake locally. This naturally means there are fewer adoptable animals.
HRA has partnered with both regional and national organizations to share our resources and offer available dens in our adoption centers to dogs and cats who may otherwise not find adoptive homes in their originating communities.
In 2018 alone, we worked with partner agencies across the country, struggling with increasing intake numbers and limited adopter pools, to transport more than 300 dogs and cats to DC. In DC, small dogs are in high demand and find homes quickly, while they could have waited for months to find a home in other regions of the country. Since they are adopted so quickly, our capacity to take in more animals in need increases.
However, it is not just small dogs we’re bringing in. Recently, HRA welcomed more than 20 dogs from the Louisiana SPCA, one of our longest-tenured partners. Louisiana SPCA acts as a regional hub for the New Orleans area, and, in preparation for our regular transports, works closely with agencies outside their city to bring a variety of dogs and cats north to DC. The most recent transport included several dogs, large and small, of various breed mixes that are common in their area, making them less sought after by adopters there. Many on this transport had spent more than four months in their original shelters waiting for a home.
Here in DC, these dogs are welcomed by our adopters, and within about a week, all 23 dogs were adopted into new homes.
HRA’s transport program extends beyond scheduled transports, and includes several intakes due to impending weather related disasters. This year has been a busy one for shelters in hurricane-prone areas, and HRA stood ready to assist. Just before Hurricane Florence hit, we reached out to Norfolk Animal Care Center, and quickly arranged to drive to Virginia and transfer in 18 animals, their entire adoption floor, in advance of the storm. This freed up space for them to assist with potential flooding of other area shelters.
We haven’t forgotten about our partners in the Washington, DC region either. Routinely, our transport manager communicates with area shelters such as the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS), the Humane Society of Harford County, and others, working to transfer dogs and cats from our shelter to theirs and vice versa. Sometimes, an animal may be declining in care after a long stay in one shelter, and
have the opportunity to thrive in a different environment and with an entirely new adopter population. Regular communication within our region means we often take in “one offs”, a dog or cat needing a change in scenery, the expertise of our highly passionate behavior and training department, or the resources our medical team can provide. These relationships go both ways.
Our hope for the future is to act as a hub for regional shelters, work to transfer in more animals, and assist more areas in need. Along with physically transporting animals, HRA works closely with our partners to ensure we are not acting simply as a quick fix.
We also support our partners in addressing overpopulation in their area, with the goal that, in the future, they too can see their shelters have lower intake numbers, and an ability to assist others in the same way.
We'll send fresh, amazing content straight to your inbox so you can keep a pulse on your animal community.

A SINGLE mum has urged UFC champ Conor McGregor to take a DNA test after claiming he is the father of her baby daughter.
Terri Murray, 26, says she gave birth to Clodagh nine months after she allegedly bedded the cage fighter in 2017.
The young mum says they had sex at his hotel after the Aintree Grand National – just four weeks before Conor’s girlfriend Dee Devlin, 31, gave birth to their first child, Conor Jnr.
McGregor, worth an estimated £75million, has denied he is one-year-old Clodagh's dad and insists that Terri slept with one of his friends.
Terri says she does not want money from the former two-weight UFC world champion.
'I JUST WANT TO PROVE CONOR'S HER DAD'
"I just want to prove he is Clodagh’s dad and I’m not lying,” she told the Daily Mirror.
"If he gets that DNA test, I’ve said ‘You never have to speak to me again, you can walk away’.”
Terri claims she slept with the Irish star after one of his pals invited her to his room in Liverpool’s Hilton Hotel.
Social media snaps, which were allegedly taken in the bathroom of his hotel suite, show the pair cuddling up together.
In one picture, the fighter’s hand appears to be sliding under her black mini-skirt.
'HOTEL ROOM ROMP'
Terri claims the star slept with her even though he knew she was not using any contraception.
After the romp, Terri said he invited her to another club, but she went home.
He allegedly got back in touch two days later and they had sex a second time in the Hilton.
When Terri found out she was pregnant, she messaged Conor but claims he did not initially respond.
After she gave birth, the mum posted screenshots of their alleged conversations on Instagram – where he appears to claim he is not the father.
MOST READ IN NEWS
Last May, Terri filled in an “initial enquiry form” for child maintenance, naming McGregor as the “respondent”.
He was recently banned from fighting for six months over a post-fight brawl following his loss to UFC rival Khabib Nurmagomedov.
McGregor’s management have been approached for comment.

Has anybody seen an exit poll from the UK general election showing demographic splits like age, income, and ethnicity?
In the comments, Anatoly Karlin points out the Lord Ashcroft Poll, a post-election survey with a sample size of 14k (Tories blue, Labour red, LibDems yellow):
The age gap was immense, with Tories getting 59% of those over 65 and only 18% of those under 25.
The class gap was not terribly large for Torys or Socialists, but it was large for LibDems.
Apparently, there were no questions about ethnicity, religion, income, or marital status.
Update: Commenter Lot points out:
The ethnic/religion breakdown of the Ashcroft poll starts on page 141 and 154.
“Who would be a better PM?”
Here’s the percentage choosing May by group (overall 57.6%)
No Religion 43.9%
Mixed Race 33.3%
The Brexit Gap wasn’t huge:
… just over two thirds (68%) of those who voted Conservative said they had voted Leave in the referendum. Just under two thirds (64%) of those who voted Labour said they had voted to remain in the EU, as did nearly eight in ten Liberal Democrats.
The Lib-Dems are the yuppie party that wins seats in places like West Oxford, where I went on a marketing research business trip in the 1990s. It’s a big place for foreign firms to have their UK offices.
The survey found that 82% of those who voted Conservative in 2015 did so again yesterday, with one in ten switching to Labour and one in twenty going to the Lib Dems. Meanwhile, 83% of 2015 Labour voters stayed with their party, with only 9% going to the Conservatives. Half of those who voted Lib Dem last time round did so again this time, as did eight in ten SNP voters. Just over half (57%) of UKIP voters said they had switched to the Tories; fewer than one in five (19%) said they had stayed with their 2015 parties.
Six in ten of those who said they had voted Leave in the EU referendum backed the Conservatives in the general election; a quarter of leavers voted Labour. Only a quarter of Remain voters voted Conservative; just over half (51%) voted Labour, and a quarter of remainers voted Liberal Democrat. …
Only 8% of Labour voters named Brexit as the most important issue in their decision, compared to 48% of those who voted Conservative.
Perhaps because Prime Minister May hadn’t been for Leave in the Brexit referendum last year, while Labour leader Corbyn hadn’t campaigned hard for Remain last year, had been anti-EU at times in the past, and endorsed a compromise “soft Brexit” in this campaign.
Corbyn seems to have finessed and downplayed the Brexit issue in this campaign about as well as possible. This adept performance is kind of surprising to casual observers like myself because he had gotten very bad press both in Britain and America, perhaps because he was seen as anti-Israel. For example, the New York Times’ write-up on the election results included this snide comment by reporters Steven Erlanger and Stephen Castle:
That meant Labour-held seats seemed ripe for the picking, especially since northerners were not enamored of Mr. Corbyn, 68, a far-left urbanite. He seemed weak on defense and security, shaky on economic management and passionate about places like Venezuela and Nicaragua, and had once had strong sympathies for the Irish Republican Army and liked to make jam.
From the Jerusalem Post on May 31, 2017:
LONDON – Only 13% of British Jews intend to vote for Labour in the June 8 election, polling by The Jewish Chronicle and research agency Survation revealed.
In contrast, 77% intend to vote for the Conservatives. The Liberal Democrats polled at 7%, while 2% said they would vote for parties outside the main three.
The near monolithic support for the Conservative Party among British Jewry comes at the tail end of a year-long period that has seen repeated antisemitism controversies in Labour, led by Jeremy Corbyn. …
Of the representative group of 515 British Jews polled last week, when asked to rank the parties on a scale of 1 to 5 if they have an antisemitism problem, those surveyed gave Labour 3.94. In second place was the anti-EU and anti-immigration UK Independence Party with 3.63, with the Liberal Democrats at 2.7 and the Conservatives at 1.96.
… “Even in April 2015, when it appeared Ed Miliband [who is Jewish] was heading for No. 10 and Jeremy Corbyn wasn’t a factor in front-line Labour politics, the party was only receiving 22% of the vote in our Jewish polling, with more than two-thirds of respondents planning to vote Conservative.”
The Tories won two fairly Jewish constituencies in the London suburbs, Finchley & Golders Green (which Mrs. Thatcher had represented) and Hendon, although Labour closed the gap in this election vs. 2015.
Politically, Jews in the U.K. tend to lean conservative, as a poll published by the Jewish Chronicle in early 2015 shows. Of British Jews polled, 69% would vote for the Conservative Party, while 22% would vote for the Labour Party. There was little Jewish support for UKIP or the Liberal Democrats, with each polling around 2%. This is in stark contrast to the rest of the voter population, which according to a BBC poll had Conservatives and Labour almost tied at about a third each. Jews have typically been a part of the British middle class, traditional home of the Conservative Party, though the number of Jews in working class communities of London is in decline. The main voting bloc of poorer Jews in Britain now, made up primarily of ultra-Orthodox, votes “en masse” for the Conservatives. Attitudes toward Israel influence the vote of three out of four of British Jews.
In the 19th Century, Jewish MPs were pretty equally divided between Tory and Whig, although the most famous ethnically Jewish MP, Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli (a Christian convert in religion, but still extremely Jewish in name, looks, and self-presentation), was Conservative.
After WWII, Jewish MPs were overwhelmingly Labour: in 1966, there were 38 Jewish Labour MPs compared to 2 Tory Jews. But Mrs. Thatcher, who had strong ties to the Jewish community (e.g., Keith Joseph was her idea man), raised the popularity of the Tories among Jews. By her last general election in 1987, there were 16 Tory Jewish MPS to 7 Labour and 1 Lib-Dem. These days, quite a few MPs are a little bit Jewish, such as David Cameron and Boris Johnson.
I believe Ed Miliband in 2015 was the first Jewish leader of Labour to contest (and lose) a general election. Michael Howard was the unsuccessful Tory leader in the 2005 election. Before that, Disraeli led the Tories from 1868 to 1881, serving twice as Prime Minister. He was, famously, Queen Victoria’s favorite PM.
The differing trajectories of Jewish voters in Britain and the U.S. is curious. Ronald Reagan was roughly as pro-Semitic as Margaret Thatcher, but this did not lead to the kind of historic realignment in America as Thatcher was able to bring about in Britain.
One factor might be that the Jewish community in Britain is relatively smaller than in America. Plus gentile Brits are quite good at journalism jobs. A friend of mine who is a retired Canberra MP and big time lawyer in Melbourne is driven nuts by American theories that Rupert Murdoch must be Jewish because, after all, he is a press baron and gentiles are incapable of managing large media organizations and Rupert’s mother’s maiden name was Greene and that must be Jewish.
No, my Melbourne friend protests, people of indigenous British descent, such as Lord Beaverbrook (Lord Copper in Waugh’s Scoop), have an outstanding record as press lords. And the Greene family was Irish, English, and Scottish. “I know the family, I went to Rupert’s mother’s funeral when she died at 103,” he points out.

|This is a
concept design for an aquatint box,
based on the following features: powdered rosin is deposited
bottom of the box, where it is stirred up by a fan blade driven by an
motor whose shaft projects through the floor of the box. This
a "doughnut" shaped airflow within the closed box, which suspends rosin
particles in the airspace within the box. There is a door and
just above the fanblade where a plate can be inserted after the fan has
been turned off to allow rosin particles to settle on the
When an adequate accumulation of particles is on the plate, it is
and heated to cause the particles to melt and stick to the plate.
Materials required are plywood for the top, sides, and floor of the box; metal (or wooden) bars for the plate support grid; cabinet hardware for the hinges, latches, and handle of the door, and the major electrical components: the fan blade and motor and associated wiring and an on/off switch. Some foam rubber weatherstripping will be necessary for closing gaps around the door so rosin dust won't blow out when the fan is running, and some aluminium flashing for rounding the corners formed where the floor and the walls of the box meet, so rosin powder won't pile up in the corners. Also whatever glue, screws, etc. may be necessary. I have built these with 5/8 in plywood joined with drywall screws, but details of construction will depend on the size of the box, available materials, and the tastes of the builder.
A box based on this design has been in use since about 1986 at Island International Artists, a printmaking and distribution facility located on Guemes Island in northern Puget Sound.

Corruption in Nigeria: Guilty Government, Saint Populace? By Eta Uso, Jr.
Being men as we are; thus full of imperfections, it will be our greatest undoing to refuse to acknowledge these imperfections and work to overcome them.
A great Nation we are, yet with such great defect which we so loudly acknowledge, yet so unwilling ‘practically’ to do something about it as a people. This our greatest defect is Corruption.
From the mouths of the outspoken, to the fingers of our writers. From the streets that we walk, to the social media where we engage; one thing has been widely acknowledged as a lingering brake in our progress as a nation and this one very thing, is Corruption.
However, the irony amidst our widely acknowledged problem of corruption is that everyone with a means to air his or her views, tend to see the Government as the ‘sole’ custodian and executor of corruption.
Truth be told, the majority who complain about corruption, engage in it! Let’s look beyond the conceptual and theoretical to some hard street examples of the nature and forms of corruption in Nigeria today.
Some years back, precisely in 2012, I was booked on an Air France flight from Lagos International Airport to Manchester. On arrival at the Lagos Airport, officials (everyday Nigerians like we all) in their seeming ‘kindness’, offered to speed up my check-in process. How did they intend to do this? Well, they had it all planned out. I was offered the option of checking-in via the Business Class route at the cost of N1,000 even though I was on an Economy ticket. Was this an act of corruption or not? Was it Mr. President who made the offer? Weren’t those young officials like every other ordinary working class Nigerian who make it a duty to bash the Government daily as architects of corruption? Where those young Nigerian officials offering some form of Charity? If yes, then why was I asked to pay some cash for such ‘charitable’ cause?
The above first-hand example is a drop in the ocean of many such acts/occurrences as executed by the ordinary Nigerian. Yet we never fail to put all the blame on the Government at any given opportunity.
We (Nigerians) should all be ashamed that though we acknowledge our major imperfection as a country; corruption, yet we take pleasure, either out of outright ignorance or conscious ignorance, in putting the blame solely on the Government at all times.
I do not believe in cliches, thus I will use none here. However, I leave Nigerians with this proverb of mine; ensure to clean your own surroundings, before calling out on the Government to ensure that the city is cleaned. Remember, there can be no Government without the People. Just as there can be no clean Government without a clean people. Governments do not just appear, rather, they rise into power from within its own very people.
Let the wise understand. The one who is ignorant and is yet to come to the awareness of his ignorance, may choose to remain and dwell therein. It’s allowed.

Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson is one of the best wrestlers on the planet, and he’s just challenged Nicky Rodriguez to a grappling match. He didn’t propose any specific ruleset that they might compete under, but considering that the challenge only came about as a result of Rodriguez’s absolute tournament win at UFC Fight Pass Invitational 4, it seems likely that he was talking about a submission grappling match as opposed to a wrestling one.
While this kind of crossover match might seem far-fetched at first glance, it’s actually not all that difficult to put together. UFC Fight Pass Invitational would be the ideal promotion to make the match because Steveson is currently under contract with the WWE, who are now owned by the same parent company as the UFC. This means that a deal could definitely be done for Steveson to compete for the promotion, and Rodriguez is actually one of the most frequent faces to appear at UFC Fight Pass Invitational events.
This wouldn’t be the first time that an elite wrestler like Steveson has competed for the promotion either, as two-time NCAA champion Roman Bravo-Young actually made his BJJ debut at the same event that Rodriguez won. That match was contested without leglocks being legal, so that’s one way that they could attempt to level the playing field once the match hits the ground. Steveson won’t need any assistance on the feet though, as he won a gold medal at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo and has significantly more experience wrestling experience than Rodriguez.
Nicky Rodriguez shared the news that he won the absolute tournament at UFC Fight Pass Invitational 4 in a post to his official Instagram account and Gable Steveson quickly replied with the following comment:
“Me vs you next!!”
Not only did Rodriguez agree to the match, but he also immediately started promoting it as well:

Biden’s spokeswoman to quit next week
The Jen Psaki era in the White House briefing room will end next week, as President Joe Biden’s press secretary will be replaced by her deputy as she reportedly takes a position on the other side of the podium, at MSNBC.
Karine Jean-Pierre will take over as press secretary on May 13, Biden announced on Thursday. She’s being touted as the first openly gay White House press secretary and the first black woman to hold the position. Biden praised Psaki for her work in the role, making an apparent jab at her predecessors in President Donald Trump’s administration.
“Jen Psaki has set the standard for returning decency, respect and decorum to the White House briefing room,” Biden said. “I want to say thank you to Jen for raising the bar, communicating directly and truthfully to the American people, and keeping her sense of humor while doing so.”
Psaki has been criticized as “tone-deaf,” haughty and condescending by critics such as the New York Post. For instance, when she was questioned last fall about a supply-chain crisis heading into the holiday season, she sarcastically quipped, “the tragedy of the treadmill that’s delayed,” essentially dismissing the fears of working-class Americans who have bigger worries than not getting their new exercise equipment on time. She was derisively nicknamed “Circle Back” Psaki by conservatives, based on her penchant for dodging tough questions by promising to “circle back” later with an answer.
Reports last month that Psaki was negotiating a deal for a job at MSNBC raised ethics concerns, as well as fears among reporters at NBC News that her presence at the sister outlet would “tarnish” the brand’s credibility.
Jean-Pierre is a long-time advisor to Biden, having worked on his presidential campaign and as a staffer when he was vice president under Barack Obama. She had a stint as a political analyst at MSNBC and worked as chief public affairs officer at MoveOn.org, a left-wing activist group that was partly funded by billionaire George Soros. Born in Martinique and raised in New York, she also worked on Obama’s presidential campaigns.
“Karine not only brings the experience, talent and integrity needed for this difficult job, but she will continue to lead the way in communicating about the work of the Biden-Harris administration on behalf of the American people,” Biden said.

I've just added a couple of Win XP pro machines to my SBS
network, and they have developed a curious problem. When
a Win XP client tries to access the exchange server, the
event apparently times out and creates a dialog box
asking if the user wants to retry, open default folders
(desktop) or cancel. After an ave of 3 retrys, Outlook
connects with the server, downloads mail, and works fine.
However, the users are not amused at having to try to
access the server 2-4 times.
Additionally, The win XP clients can access other network

the XP machines SEEM to be running slower (network wise)

THE part of GA flying I least enjoy today is dodging around busy controlled airspace and the expensive landing fee you get when you reach your destination.
Most light aircraft today are kitted out more like an airliner and a simple flight from A to B requires a lot of button pushing, careful navigation and altitude-keeping to avoid an unpleasant telephone call from the local SATCO. We have strayed along way from our childhood dreams found in books such as Richard Bachs’ Jonathan Livingston Seagull and the exploits of early pioneers. However my eyes have just been opened to a very different type of aviation and I think there will be no going back for me.
I have always been curious with the look and idea of float planes and beautiful aircraft such as DH Beavers and Otters parked on remote postcard mountain lakes filled my imagination. When I found myself in Anchorage, Alaska for a 48 hour stopover I remembered the advert I’d once seen for float training at a place aptly named ‘Moose Pass’ and I called up Alaska Float Ratings from my hotel room to see if they could fit me in for a flight. I hired the cheapest car I could find – an ex-police Ford Taurus and the 90 minute drive to the lake led me though some of the most beautiful and remote landscape I’d ever seen. I drove along the Seward Highway and around the Cook Inlet amongst mist shrouded forests, past Alyeska and Portage glaciers and wild moose. This was turning out to be quite the adventure already.
Arriving at Alaska Float Ratings I was warmly met by the owners Vern Kingsford and his wife Laura. Vern is one of the most experienced bush pilots in Alaska with over 35 years of mountain and float flying. The school has a very warm family feel and Vern and Laura’s house is right next to the club house that includes the office, briefing rooms and a well stocked. Memorabilia adorns the walls such as signed pictures from astronauts thanking the school for memorable experiences.
The garden leads down to the aircraft parked on pontoons on Trail lake and whilst sipping a cup of tea with my instructor Joe we discussed some of the standard operating procedures of the Super Cub on floats. I asked those questions which had confused me for years about float flying and I hoped the answers I got would all make sense soon. I signed an indemnity waver and was handed a fisherman’s life vest and a pair of huge waders whilst Joe placed his Glock 9mm pistol in his holster. Feeling like I was on an extreme Salmon fishing course rather than a flying course we tramped down the garden to our waiting Cub standing proud on the glassy milk coloured glacial lake. It soon dawned on me I was totally out of my element. Even though I had quite a few hours on Cubs but this one had sprouted two huge floats fitted with various wires, braces, struts and bilge holes. My first piece of advice came from Joe when he said that when flying floats you have to think much further ahead of the aircraft. I should be aware of the wind, the surface current and the possible obstacles and debris in the water.
I levered myself into the front seat (not helped by the waders) and was handed a central line of rope connecting us to the dock whilst Joe untied the bow and stern lines. As part of the pre-start checks I had to make sure the water rudders were down and our seat belts were unlocked in case we had to get out quickly. I was getting the feeling we were certainly more boat than aircraft. Selecting fullest tank, master on, mags on and mixture set I started the engine and immediately held the stick back. After casting off we taxied out under idle power; any more power and the propeller would get damaged by water spray. The water rudders on the back of the floats seemed amazingly responsive and I suddenly realised we had dispensed with all radio calls and taxiways and were making all our own decisions. We were free!
After years of wondering about the take off we set 1700rpm with the stick held fully back. The bow wave under the floats kept our speed to a fast walking pace; all very controlled. Joe talked me through the takeoff and felt I should be able to handle it. So with a beating heart I completed the checks: area clear, water rudders up, stick back and full throttle. As we picked up speed there was a very obvious second rise of the nose or the ‘hump phase’ as a wall of water is created under the floats. This signalled us to make a gentle push on the stick to the neutral position and suddenly we rose up onto the wall of water, called the step, and entered the acceleration phase, planing across the top of the water. At this point I felt like I was balancing on a knife edge. If I pushed too far forward I’d dig the floats into the water, but if I had the stick too far back we’d loose our most efficient planing angle. Soon enough we were airborne and the aircraft felt like it was back in a more familiar world.
The scenery was idyllic as we flew down a valley to Kenai Lake. Joe looked outside for bears, wolves and moose for fun yet I was all-consumed thinking about our imminent landing on to the lake. Joe offered to show me a landing first and I followed him through on the controls. We overflew our landing site just on the edge of the shore and looked at the wind streaks on the surface to gauge the wind strength and direction and of course look out for debris. Joe said to plan every water landing with power off, but plan to use power just in case. We flew a normal curved approach selecting flap and maintained 70mph. As we neared the surface, he made a very gentle flare to the takeoff attitude and closed the throttle. I felt a slight sink and immediately Joe trickled on some more power and we touched down very softly onto the water. I extended the water rudders as we sank into our wake and we seemed to stop on the spot.
For three hours we practiced glassy landings and takeoffs, confined area takeoffs and step taxiing all broken up by a couple of rests on the shore chatting as we strolled along the uninhabited wilderness whilst our Cub was tied up. This was, as Joe said, what it’s all about.
Pure flying was the way in the 1930’s where you made your own decisions and your own judgment, not clouded by busy ATC, procedures and complicated airspace. It really defines freedom in an aircraft where you can literally go anywhere where there’s water. Fishing and camping opportunities really open up too.
Float flying is certainly an art and there is so much to learn and master. Yet after my days training I was literally buzzing for hours afterwards. I can honestly say it was the most fun I have ever had in an aeroplane.
Book a basic course with Vern for $1,999 which lasts three days and includes six hours of flight time, three to five hours of ground time and two nights in a cabin.

The Mud Blossom
This story is about Nirmala the Mud Blossom, who had the misfortune of being born female in Mumbai. Rejected and thrown into the dustbin when she was just two days old, the child was rescued and returned to her family by the NGOs.
Nirmala is ill-treated by her mother and subject to violence at her hands. She is allowed to continue her studies only because she can coach her younger brothers, as her parents are illiterate. On one occasion her mother brutally beats her when she is caught reading David Copperfield instead of doing the household chores; on another, she is struck for voicing her dreams of becoming a doctor. Loving school and the access it gives her to books she relishes, Nirmala accepts each beating with forbearance.
What will happen to this little mud blossom? Will she fight back or succumb? How can she rid herself of harassment and rise above the stigma she endures?
Nirmala: The Mud Blossom graphically depicts the travails, discrimination, and abuse faced by female children in India from the cradle to the grave.

Wes Welker didn’t get a contract extension this offseason, but he did get some extensions.
According to Tom Curran of CSNNE.com, the 31-year-old Welker got a hair transplant earlier this month.
The procedure was performed by Dr. Robert Leonard of Leonard Hair Transplant Associates, for whom Welker will become a spokesman.
Curran said the release announcing the “news” said it “Welker was immediately able to resume his regular activities, including training for the football season and even wearing a helmet.”
Welker’s one-year, $9.5 million franchise tender should buy him plenty of hair product, but won’t protect him from the ribbing he’s going to get when he gets to camp.

We sit when life goes well.
We sit when life is tough.
Things aren’t going so well.
We sit because we love God.
We sit because we trust God.
We sit even when we are not so sure anymore.
We let go and open to the presence and actions of God within.
That is what Centering Prayer is.
It sometimes feels like a walk in the dark.
That is okay.
This Centering Prayer seems to teach us who we are.
It teaches us how to live.
It shows us the way forward.
And so we return to our sits each day.
They make us whole.
They nourish our souls.

In Recognition of Toyota Motor North America on the Date of its Supplier Center Grand Opening
Congresswoman Debbie Dingell
Congressional Record: 115th Congress
Extensions of Remarks
4 May 2017
Mrs. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Toyota Motor North America on the date of the Toyota Supplier Center and Prototype Development Facility grand opening. Toyota Motor North America has been a strong partner to southeast Michigan by utilizing our state's automotive expertise to help produce its next generation of automobiles. Originally established in July 1977, Toyota Motor North America's Research and Development has contributed significantly to the leadership of southeast Michigan as a leader in automotive engineering, driving important breakthroughs in automotive design and safety. Toyota employs approximately 1,440 individuals in its Ann Arbor and York Township facilities whose work has critical input to many of Toyota's most popular vehicles. These facilities collectively have contributed to the vehicle development of many of Toyota's most popular vehicles, including the 2014 Tundra and 2015 Camry designs, and its advanced research and prototype development efforts continue to serve as a critical source of innovation for the company at large. Toyota Motor North America's significant investment in expanding and upgrading its Ann Arbor and York Township engineering facilities underscores the importance of the groundbreaking research and development being done here. The expansion of the powertrain development facility in Ann Arbor Township, as well as further improvements to the York Township site, will allow a continuation of the successful partnership between Toyota and the State of Michigan. The talented and educated southeast Michigan workforce, combined with Toyota's new facilities and additional resources, will help ensure that Michigan's automotive industry remains a worldwide leader in the coming decades. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Toyota Motor North America and Mr. Toyoda during the grand opening of the Toyota Supplier Center and Prototype Development Facility expansion. This critical investment will leverage Michigan's talented workforce to conduct cutting-edge automotive research and development.

When I close my eyes I cannot reconstruct your face
But the three-dimensional solidity or you
Bursts through the tissues of my skin,
Transmogrified by a tactile binary fusion.
I have catalogued a lifetime of sensation with these fingers
But the smell and taste and sound of our private moment together
Lingers forever in my cellular chemistry, bound
By images which tantalize, spiced in a mosaic of memories.
I close my eyes and build beneath my hands your waist
With gentle curves that cup and cleave
And taste electricity, recreate the smoothness of your unmarked breasts
And tight, close-crowned aureole, the turgid tips where nipples
Culminate, and glide my mind’s palette to plumb
Your flat, unfallowed abdomen.
There was no time in those wondrous hours to dwell
On how recently we’d met, or to note our lusty appetites
Devoured the modest creatures of our outer selves;
When we fell out of the tangled web of clothes,
Aroused by sympathetic passion and discovery,
And tumbled in a naked cliché to the bed,
Time stood forever still.
In the labial dawn
I savoured salty draughts of liquor
Springing from your tumid sex,
Luxuriated in the magnanimity of your primal crouch,
And heard your half-suppressed love-cries tell the tumult in your loins.
I close my eyes, I cannot see your face,
Yet I feel the closeness of your lips and kiss the shadows of your eyes
And know that you are there.

SANDY, Utah — The Latest on Utah’s annual GOP convention (all times local):
The Utah Republican Party will not endorse the use of medical marijuana following a lopsided convention vote.
GOP delegates rejected the proposal with a vote of 70 percent to 30 percent after a spirited debate Saturday.
While supporters argue that the drug can have life-changing effects for patients, opponents say it hasn’t been fully vetted and express concern that allowing medical use could lead to full legalization.
While the state Republican party’s libertarian wing has embraced the cause, conservative leaders have balked. Utah’s Republican governor and GOP-dominated Legislature have rejected plans to pass a medical law for three years in a row.
Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz says he’s happy Hillary Clinton isn’t president and is proud of his role in investigating her use of a private email server.
The chair of the House Oversight Committee got standing ovations as he spoke to Utah Republicans at t e party’s annual convention held Saturday, days after his surprise announcement that he’ll step down from his seat next month.
He got choked up talking about his tenure in the short address. It was preceded by a video showing him setting up the cot that he famously began sleeping on in his office nine years ago.
A crowded field of candidate is already vying to replace Chaffetz and their names dotted an exhibition hall steps away from the podium where he spoke.
The Utah Republican Party will have a new leader: Rob Anderson, a county party chair who had been critical of the party’s handling of a contentious law changing how political parties nominate candidates.
Anderson was elected state party chair in a vote at the Utah GOP’s annual convention Saturday. Outgoing chair James Evans lost his bid for an unusual third term in the first round of voting.
Evans’s tenure has been marked by a legal battle he waged over the 2014 nominating law. Anderson wants to drop the fight and move on. He’s also promised to tackle party financial issues.
The onetime Davis County party chair won with 56 percent in a second round of voting against Utah GOP Vice-Chair Phill Wright.
Utah’s annual GOP convention is underway with fiery rhetoric on the contentious Bears Ears National Monument.
U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch took the podium Saturday morning to honor a southern Utah county commissioner convicted of criminal charges in a high-profile protest over federal management of public lands.
Sen. Mike Lee also spoke against Bears Ears and called on President Donald Trump to undo it. Opponents were heartened when Trump ordered a review of Bears Ears last month.
The Republican convention brings together the party’s core of about 4,000 Republicans, who are also expected to vote on medical marijuana and choose a state party chair during the daylong event.
It comes days after a surprise resignation announcement from high-profile Congressmen Jason Chaffetz, who is expected to speak.
About 4,000 Republicans who make up the core of Utah’s GOP will pick new a leader at the party’s annual convention Saturday and decide whether to endorse the use of medical marijuana, a cause the party’s libertarian wing has embraced but conservative leaders have rejected.
The daylong convention at the South Towne Expo Center in Sandy also gives Utah’s governor, congressional delegation and other top officials a chance to speak to party activists and longtime loyalists, in speeches in front of a packed exhibition hall and in more intimate encounters as Republicans mingle with elected officials at their official campaign booths.
Utah GOP chairman James Evans on Saturday faces his own election, as he seeks a third term as his party’s leader.
He’s being challenged by Utah GOP Vice-Chair Phill Wright and Davis County GOP chair Rob Anderson.


The Georgian advertising market
The Georgian advertising sector is characterized by a lack of competition and dominated by a small network of friends and business partners with ties to former Defense Minister Davit Kezerashvili, a new report by Transparency International Georgia finds.
While mapping relationships within the sector, TI Georgia found that several off-shore companies registered in Panama and the British Virgin Islands are used to conceal ownership and financial flows. A suspiciously high number of changes in official ownership structures of single companies and the apparent use of front men are undermining the sector’s transparency. The TV advertising sales house General Media commands a de-facto monopoly in selling ad-slots on national TV, the company Outdoor.ge has a dominant position in outdoor advertising in Tbilisi.
Ownership structure and relations between selected players in the Georgian advertising sector
In the private sector, a climate of self-censorship persists and many advertisers remain reluctant to cooperate with outlets that are known for their critical views, fearing negative consequences for their businesses. Most media outlets also lack independently verified data on their reach and audience – with the exception of Tbilisi-based TV stations – making it even more difficult for smaller outlets to attract advertisers and become financially sustainable.
Growth, competition and professionalism in the advertising sector are an important precondition for a financially sustainable and thus truly pluralistic and strong media sector in Georgia. Net advertising spending in 2010 was between USD 43 and 46.5 million. TV advertising accounted for USD 35 million and radio advertising for USD 2.2 million. Spending on online advertising is estimated to remain significantly below USD 1 million.
In recent weeks, the Georgian government has taken a 70% share in a chain of newspaper kiosks that are also used as outdoor advertising sights and are now managed by the Georgian Post. Government controlled entities continue to provide targeted financial support to specific media outlets through advertisements.

Does Being Cold Make You Sick? [Video]
As I write this, the front office sounds like the Tuberculosis Wing at the hospital. Everyone has returned from holiday break coughing, hacking, sneezing, and generally sounding gross. But why did everyone get sick? Does the cold make you sick?
ASAP Science--one of my favorite YouTube channels--takes a look at this exact question, and comes out with some interesting results. Here's what they found:
- Getting sick can be influenced by temperature. When our cells are warm, they undergo a kind of "self destruct" when infected. When they are cold, they don't.
- Cold temperatures may constrict your blood vessels causing white blood cells, your protectors, to have a slower reaction time to an invading virus.
- When cold, a virus has a solid "protective shield" around it that allows it to spread from person to person much easier. During warmer months a virus' envelope is much softer limiting its impact.
During colder months we tend to stay indoors more often, which puts us into contact with more people who may have a virus. During cold and flu season remember to sneeze into your elbow and wash your hands often.
So if you're heading out into the cold, put on a coat.
