The Global Space Tourism Market was valued at USD 765.44 Million in 2022 and is expected to reach a value of USD 9064.19 Million by 2030. Over the forecast period, the Global Market is anticipated to grow to exhibit a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 36.20%.
Traveling into space for leisure and entertainment is known as Space Tourism. Tourism in orbital, suborbital, and lunar space falls under this category. Initially, only astronauts, who underwent extensive training, were sent on space missions; however, as time passed, the trend shifted to make Space Tourism seem like a leisure activity. Additionally, the rapid advancement of technology has made it possible for even unskilled individuals to go outside the solar system. To carry out these tourism missions and improve the visitor experience, the key market participants in the Global Space Tourism sector have invested enormous sums of money. It is anticipated that rising travel and tourist costs will increase demand for Space Tourism as a whole throughout the projected period. Therefore, the industry for Space Tourism is expected to grow due to rising investments.
Space Tourism Market Size, 2022 To 2030 (USD Million)
Additionally, it is anticipated that individuals interested in enhanced space exploration will continue to create new potential for the Space Tourism industry during the projection period.
On the other hand, the high involvement costs in the Space Tourism are expected to restrain the market's growth. At the same time, risks like a lack of proper regulation and insufficient safety protocols are likely to make it difficult for the market to expand. Moreover, space tourists are likely exposed to the sun's harmful radiation.

The Space Tourism Market is segmented based on Space Tourism Types, End Users, and Region. Based on the Space Tourism Types, the market is further segmented into Orbital, Sub-Orbital, and Other Space Tourism Types. Furthermore, based on the End Users, the market is further bifurcated into Government, Commercial, and Other End Users.
Below tree is interactive. You can click the nodes to get more information.
Based on Type:
The Sub-Orbital category dominated the market in 2021 and is expected to continue its dominance in the Type segment of the Global Space Tourism Market. Using Sub-Orbital tourism, human spaceflight can reach the edge of the Earth's orbit without exiting it. In this travel, the voyagers can observe space without leaving the Earth's orbit. In addition, they can feel a natural weightlessness feeling by experiencing space travel in the Sub-Orbital category. On the other hand, the Orbital segment too will see the fastest Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) throughout the projected period. Depending on the destination, such as the International Space Station (ISS), the moon, or Mars, an orbital voyage may span a few days or weeks. While SpaceX and Orion Span strive for orbital flights, companies like Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin primarily focus on launching suborbital missions.
Based on End Users:
The Commercial category segment dominated the market in 2021 and continues to dominate as it is anticipated that the Commercial space travel market will rule. Seven commercial spaceflight flights launched in 2021 by various private and governmental entities were successful. Billionaires have spent a lot of money going to space to view the Earth from above. Spaceflight missions have been launched by Virgin Galactic, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and NASA to carry non-astronauts across the universe and return them to Earth after a certain amount of time. The first feature film shot in space and the oldest person to travel to space are just two of the milestones that these explorations have accomplished.
Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow exponentially and will account for the highest Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) during the forecast period. The China National Space Administration (CNSA), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) are significant contributors to the expansion of the Asia-Pacific market. In addition, CAS Space has been creating rockets for commercial satellite launches. CAS Space is the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) spinoff. By 2024, the business hopes to fly travelers into space after a full suborbital flight in 2023 and a demo trip in 2022. According to a Chinese University of Hong Kong survey, young Chinese respondents showed far more interest in space travel and accommodations than American respondents.
- In May 2020, the US-based aerospace company SpaceX launched two humans into orbit using a previously used Falcon 9 rocket. Since rocket reuse significantly reduces the cost of space exploration, this is regarded by the company as a significant technological advancement.
- In February 2019, Virgin Galactic launched Beth Moses as a test passenger into orbit. The cost of each spaceship, which has a capacity for six passengers and two pilots, is $250,000.
The key players in the Global Space Tourism Market include- Airbus Group SE, Axiom Space, Blue Origin, Boeing, Orion Span, Space Adventures, SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, Zero2Infinity, ZERO-G and others.

ALBANY -- MacArthur Gaines believes in the old saying, "look good, play good."
Dressed in slacks, a button-down shirt and svelte coat, Gaines strolled out of the Dougherty High gym Tuesday after dropping a career-high 28 points in a 69-52 win over Cairo.
The Super 6er Gaines and the Trojans may have traded in their business pants for gym shorts, but they were all business in opening Region 1-AAA play in impressive fashion early in the season.
Gaines buried two of his three 3-pointers in the first half and barely missed from the floor, leading Dougherty (2-0, 1-0 Region 1-AAA) out to a 31-22 halftime advantage.
"I had the hot hand early but kind of cooled off in the second half," Gaines said.
The Trojans jumped out to a 9-2 lead to start the game and never trailed after that, getting 10 points from Thalandis Chester and nine points and 10 rebounds from Chris Holmes. Coming off an Elite Eight appearance a season ago, Dougherty head coach Donald Poole played most of his bench to see who could contribute.
"We're playing a lot of guys, but we've still got to find that right combination," Poole said. "There's still some things we've got to iron out."
Defensively, the Trojans were able to limit Cairo's speed and height, holding guard Terrell Bryant and center Da'Keidras Wade to 14 points each. Wade also finished with seven boards and three blocks, but the Trojans' front court of Timothy Washington and Holmes controlled the paint.
Poole didn't need to look at the calendar to know who Dougherty has next. The Trojans go to Westover Friday in a huge pre-Christmas region showdown.
"It don't get no easier," Poole said.
Gaines said he's looking forward to the test of top 10-ranked teams.
"We've just got to play (our kind of) basketball," Gaines said. "It's a big one (though)."
DOUGHERTY GIRLS 62, CAIRO 56:
The Lady Trojans used a 20-point fourth quarter and a huge game from one of their inside presences to run past Cairo Tuesday and open region play with a win.
Dougherty junior forward Jayla Hooper scored 15 of her 25 points in the fourth and finished with a monster night on the boards with 14 rebounds to help the Lady Trojans dominate the block despite turnovers and poor free-throw shooting.
"I really appreciated the fight my big girls came out with," Lady Trojans head coach Charlene Jackson said. "They're the reason we had that 20-point (fourth quarter) because they ran the floor and got what we needed."
After knotting the game up at 28-28 at halftime, Cairo shot out of intermission on a 6-0 run only to see Dougherty's Shawntal Byrd score all eight of her points in the third quarter and rally Doughtery (2-1, 1-0 Region 1-AAA) to a 42-42 tie after three quarters.
Hooper then exploded with 15 of the 20 Lady Trojans' points in the final eight minutes to send Dougherty home winners.
"A lot of people don't want to be that trash player (inside) and she's relishing that opportunity," Jackson said of Hooper.
The Lady Trojans got 13 points from Kiandra Guilford and 10 points from Jasmine Lavant. Cairo was led by Alex Tise's 23 points, 10 rebounds and three steals.
Dougherty travels to Westover Friday.

'Fahrenheit 9/11', a documentary film on US President George W Bush in the wake of the tragic events of September 11, is still awaiting clearance by the Censor Board in India.
The film by Oscar-winning film maker Michael Moore looks into the reasons why Bush and his inner circle avoided pursuing the Saudi connection to the September 11 tragedy that rocked the United States.
"We were planning to release the film on October 15 in India and had sent the movie to the Censor Board, however, we were orally informed that the film has been referred to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, " a Paramount Films spokesman, which is handling the release of the film in India, said.
"They have not so far stated the exact reasons or objections to the film, hence, we are still waiting for communication from the ministry", he said. However, according to the regional officer of the Censor Board, Y N Engineer, "The film has not been sent for referral to the ministry but has been kept aside for review again by a revising committee."
"The film is controversial in nature and hence we want it to be reviewed again. We are just being very cautious about it", he said.
According to the spokesman, "Fahrenheit 9/11 shows a nation kept in constant fear by the FBI alerts and lulled into accepting a piece of legislation, the USA Patriot Act, that infringes on basic civil rights."
"It is in this atmosphere of confusion, suspicion and dread that the Bush administration makes its headlong rush towards war in Iraq; and the film takes the viewer inside the war to tell stories, not heard, illustrating the awful human loss to US soldiers and their families", he said.
Incidentally, the film is in its 14th week of screening in the US. The film had been screened in around 2000 cinema houses in the US and had not faced any censor problems in any of the countries across the globe so far, including Malaysia, where the censor rules were among the toughest, he said.
The film had been released in June 25 in USA. The movie was slated for release in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Pune on October 15, and later in cities like Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad.

Well after crashing Whitey into the Ironwood tree I thought it would be nice to have a four-seater since the kids were getting bigger & went everywhere with us. Using most all the parts from Whitey we built the family wagon. She had AC/Heat and would be sporting one of my very first custom high clearance YJ Hoods, starting a new trend, running bigger tires & keeping it low as possible. She was equipped w/ a premiere power welder, baby beard seats & a full soft top. She was one bad ass machine for her time and the kids loved it. Made getting up & going to daycare a dream. It made all mommy’s wish they had one lol. We wheeled the shit out of it. I remember my mom & dad driving it to Las Cruces for the first ever BFGoodrich Rock Crawling championship in 1998. I later sold it to Dave Hickman, a music professor at ASU after building my new family wagon “The Magoon”. He loved it & had it for quite a while, then eventually sold it. Many years later a guy named Dennis Deringer w/ one eye showed up to the shop. He told us when he was a kid, he was flying his remote-control airplane to close to the tower lol and explained how he was lucky he didn’t lose both eyes. Not to mention he had just beaten throat cancer & wanted to take advantage of the time he had left in one of our cars, but it was a little out of his range. Later he found the family wagon for sale and bought it because we built it. It was beat to shit… he would have been better off building a new one, but we did it & received the biggest jar of Vaseline I’ve ever seen w/ his payment. He said use this on the next guy before you give him his bill, joking. He said he loved it, then insisted on me driving it, I said no I didn’t want to wreck it but, he insisted. It handled good, ripping through downtown gilbert zinging the shit out of it. We looked like Ken Block before anyone knew who he was lol. He shit his pants, said he had no idea he could drive it like that. He enjoyed it for many years and then passed. RIP Dennis, a.k.a. “Lucky” … a.k.a. “One Eye”.

Love the cards! They look great and were shipped way faster than I thought
What a beautiful series to be brought to card fans and chess fans alike. Whether you’re an avid Magician or tactical pursuer of the card arts, or delve into the mentally taxing world of Chess, you will adore this set of beautifully crafted cards.
Bought both gold and red Knights playing cards. Both arrived quickly and are great. Prefer the feel and look of gold. If only buying one pack, I recomend gold over the red ones.
The cards are really beautiful. The marking system is quite clever.
These cards are sophisticated and well made. Definitely in my rotation of decks that I use from now onw.
Cards are beautifully presented in a red box with gold accents and a gold/red chequered pattern inside the lid and box. Cards have quality feel (very slightly textured) with coloured accents on them. Back of cards are white with small red chess pieces patterned over them which produces a nice effect. Jokers are great featuring a Raven perched on a King chess piece laying down. As a beginner I can’t wait to start using for cardistry! Really pleased with these from the Ellusionist Playing Card company.
I don't buy many premium decks, but these handle and look amazing
Love Chris and Daniel and had to get the red version after I had such a good experience with the whites. Fast shipping and great price.
All the products are the best.😊
Very nice Cards, quality stuff. The back design, and the face card designs are really detailed and well done. The tuck case design with the gold accents where my favorite!.

Author: Edited by Dr Piers Mitchell (Affiliated Lecturer in the Department of Biological Anthropology)
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing
Excavations of medical school and workhouse cemeteries undertaken in Britain in the last decade have unearthed fascinating new evidence for the way that bodies were dissected or autopsied in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
This book brings together the latest discoveries by these biological anthropologists, alongside experts in the early history of pathology museums in British medical schools and the various royal colleges of surgeons, and medical historians studying the social context of dissection and autopsy in the Georgian and Victorian periods. Together they reveal a previously unknown view of the practice of anatomical dissection and the role of museums in this period, in parallel with the attitudes of the general population to the study of human anatomy in the Enlightenment.

Year of the Dog
All dogs need their own place to sleep. Keely has decided that she will eat the shipping cost on every item in her shop. She and I started this whole thing because we love naps and sleeping so much, we want all dogs to have the same, many options as their humans do when it comes to sleep and comfort.
We sleep at least one third of each day. And while it may seem excessive to sleep for long periods of time, it is a natural part of the canine lifestyle. Dogs tend to spend 50% of the day snoozing, 30% awake but lying around, and 20% being active.
The perfect bed is an investment and an enhancement to the life quality of your dog

A Dog's most defining characteristic is their loyalty. They will never abandon their friends, family or work.
Honest and just, they are popular in social circles. Everyone needs a Dog friend for advice and help. They are also good at helping others find and fix their bad habits.
Despite how they act, they are worried and anxious inside. However, they will not let this stop them. Once they decide on something, no one can persuade them against it.
Honest and loyal, Dogs are the truest friends and most reliable partner

If you have an old wallet or clutch you don't normally use, plus a spare belt lying around, you've basically got the first version covered. The second option might require buying some materials, but does not require sewing, which deters me me from so many craft products! Plus, these are a little more stylish than your typical fanny pack, so maybe they can get you on board with the trend!

My favorite niece (I only have one so she gets to be my favorite and get all my attention) posted these on Facebook. Check out the blog that they came from. Lots of great recipes! My niece shares my love of cooking. We both have amazing memories of our Gram and her cooking. Our Gram would have loved these biscuits! Easy to make. I'm serving them along side a salad to make me feel better with the amount of butter in the dish. These are amazing the next day with some honey or jam.
Butter Dip Biscuits
recipe adapted fromThe Country Cook
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter (see notes below)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp. granulated sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. kosher salt
1 3/4 cup buttermilk (see notes below)
The Country Cook's Directions:
Preheat oven to 450F degrees.
Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a microwave-safe bowl (or you can use the baking dish that you'll be baking these in), melt stick of butter in the microwave.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Pour in the buttermilk. Stir until a loose dough forms. Dough will be sticky.
Press biscuit dough into baking dish (right on top of the melted butter).
It is easiest to spread it out with your hands.
Take a sharp knife and cut the biscuit dough into 9 squares before baking.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes, rotating once during baking.
If you notice that some of the butter that is coming up to the top is getting brown, just take a paper towel and dab around the edges a bit.
Oven times do vary since different ovens have different hot spots, but basically biscuits should be golden brown on top and spring back to the touch.
Cook’s Note: I really recommend only using buttermilk with these but if all you have on hand is regular milk southerners call it sweet milk) then you can use that (just not skim milk, that stuff is far too watery). Keep in mind though that when you use regular milk, you'll have to cut back on the amount you use because regular milk is much thinner than buttermilk. You may need to use about
1 1/4 cups - 1 1/2 cups (start with less, you can always add more in).
The buttermilk adds such great flavor to these biscuits so if you can get your hands on some,
definitely give it a try. Also, if you use salted butter, make sure you leave out the additional salt that is added to the dough.
How I Did it;Here's what you will need
Add buttermilk. I didnt have any so I made my own. You can take some milk and add a TB of vinegar to it. It will resemble a drop biscuit.
Try to wait till it wont burn your mouth to eat. Fat chance in my house.

To raise awareness about men’s health, you can start by expanding the men’s health comfort zones. Start by creating prostate cancer support groups to provide men with safe spaces where they can share their stories and discuss sensitive topics. Many men who face health challenges don’t know about their condition and that perpetuates the stigma. A community-based program can promote health literacy and tackle stigma by using simple language. Here are the ideas for raising awareness:
Men’s health is something that many women take for granted, but the truth is that it is crucial to be active and make good nutritional choices. Not only does exercise improve men’s awareness of their wellness, but it also helps to keep them from suffering from many problems. A balanced diet, exercise, and a healthy mental state are important for men’s overall well-being. Yoga and meditation can help ease anxiety and stress. And as stress reduces the risk of erectile dysfunction also gets cured. Man can take Cenforce if suffering from erectile dysfunction problem. Exercise also helps to cure ED.
According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, a man should get at least two check-ups a year. These exams are an important part of staying healthy, but they are not the same as screenings. Screenings are quick and painless, but medical check-ups are more thorough and should be done by a physician. In addition to screenings, men should schedule regular check-ups with their physicians if they are experiencing any physical discomfort.
During International Men’s Health Month, we can celebrate the importance of a healthy lifestyle by getting ourselves screened for cancer, prostate, and prostate cancer. Men are at increased risk for a variety of diseases, and early detection is critical to their well-being. We can also support one another by promoting healthy habits and talking about them. Here are some ideas for increasing awareness of men’s health during this month.

June is Men’s Health Month. To raise awareness of its issues, many organizations are holding events and hosting resources. It sponsors Men’s Health Month and emphasizes prevention and awareness as the primary means of addressing men’s health concerns. To learn more, visit menshealthmonth.org. Educating men about men’s health starts with the family. By teaching healthy lifestyle habits, families can help their sons prevent common problems.
On the Friday before Father’s Day, people across the nation will wear blue to raise awareness about men’s health issues. Every people Network is a nonprofit organization that works to improve the lives of men and boys by offering educational materials, screening programs, advocacy opportunities, and patient navigation. This event will help men and boys find the best options available to them.
The Men’s Health Network and other cancer organizations are partnering to raise awareness of testicular cancer during Testicular Cancer Awareness Month. They are calling for increased research and awareness of this disease. A group of mental health professionals is also leading a call to action for testicular cancer. The Congressional Men’s Health Caucus and the Men’s Health Network are working together to raise awareness and promote action in this area.
Routine screenings for men are important for a variety of reasons. Early detection is key to getting better treatment and a better outcome. Screening tests can detect diseases and their complications before symptoms even appear. Men should begin to receive routine physical exams at the age of 20 or earlier. Men should also have a baseline blood test for cholesterol and triglycerides. Many of these tests are free, but they may not be as accurate as they should be.

We had a large apartment that was immaculate. The staff was very friendly and helpful for all our needs. We didn't bother with the breakfast because there are plenty of local bakeries and Boscolo provides free coffee 24 hours. Location was great - access to all forms of local transportation - best bet is to buy 3 day pass at the airport as Budapest is pretty spread out.

Given two months off between races, Lucy’s Bob Boy returned to action last night, and he brought his “A” game.
The six-year-old, West Virginia-bred son of Flatter took command right out of the gate, led every step of the way, and posted a one-length victory in last night’s $30,000 handicap feature at Charles Town Races. It was the Sandra Dono trainee’s 24th career victory and pushed his earnings to $939,155.
In May, under similar circumstances, Twenty Hawks attained an early stalking position in second, pushed Lucy’s Bob Boy into defeat, and earned the victory. Last night, Twenty Hawks and rider Jose Montano adopted a similar strategy — but with very different results. Lucy’s Bob Boy and Arnaldo Bocachica ticked off the half-mile in 47 4/5 seconds and three-quarters in 1:13 flat, and those fractions were enough to doom Twenty Hawks, who faded to finish last of seven.
Lucy’s Bob Boy, the 1.70-1 post time favorite, held a four length lead with an eighth of a mile to run, with Tuckers Point the only real threat. That runner made a sustained, three-wide move under Christian Navarro, slicing Lucy’s Bob Boy’s lead to just a length at the wire while more than four clear of One More Time — the runner-up in that May tilt — in third.
A pair of Maryland-based horses, Joint Custody and Warrioroftheroses, scratched.
CHARLES TOWN NOTES
It was an eventful evening for jockey Jose Montano, who rode Twenty Hawks in the seventh. He won the third race with Tamworth Honey, was thrown to the track when Game Point stumbled out of the gate in the fifth, rode Twenty Hawks in the feature, and won the final race of the evening aboard Maks. Montano is laying waste to the Charles Town jockey race, with 122 wins from 415 starts, 39 wins ahead of second-place Arnaldo Bocachica. He also led the track’s riders in wins last year… Favorites won five of eight races yesterday and finished second in two others…

2017: BOC still on tour forever!!
Have you got anything to contribute to this page? Reviews, missing gig support band/venue information, ticket stubs, posters, handbills etc etc - if so, let me .
I took a nice little plane ride down to San Diego for some BOC!
The casino is near El Cajon, about 30 minutes east of San Diego. Nice little place, not too smoky. I was almost ejected for sneaking in a beer. Dry casino? Who knew? There was a couple of bars in the theater.
Danny Miranda on bass for this show. My first time seeing him since 2003. The band performed a ripping set for the appreciative audience. It was great to get some Tattoo Vampire!
It appeared we would not get an encore, Buck was pointing at his watch. Then boom! Out they come for some Hot Rails and Cities!
Another rock star performance form the Oyster boys! Thanks guys!
January 20, 2017- Albuquerque, NM: Danny Miranda playing in-place of Kasim...
Danny M. on bass showed late had some kid Andy fill in for a few songs.
The setlist was same as Albuquerque, except for Hot Rails as opening encore.
Cache Creek is a casino about 45 minutes North East of Sacramento.
Almost did not make this one. There were car accidents blocking all the roads. I left my office at 6:30 for a 45 minute drive. Ended up arriving at the casino at 8:15 for an 8 o'clock show. Boo!
I run to will call, run to the music hall, run to my seat, the Game of Thrones starts. I can't believe it, the one time I am happy that a band starts late.
The guys almost burned down the place. They absolutely killed it. Wonderful audience. Richie received a tremendous ovation for his Last Days solo, deservedly so.
When it was Buck's turn, he kicked out one of his cables, oops! He got it back in and started his solo on time like a champion. He did it again during Cities.
Great energenic performance! Same set they have done for the past few shows, minus Hot Rails.
We made the 4 hour trip to Everett WA to see The Amazing Blue Oyster Cult!!! This was show 44 for me.
A great show. The band was into the show. I had a blast hanging out with great friends before the show and making new friends during the show.
I can't wait to see them in March.
My morning started by running into Mr. Radino in the Sacramento airport. He was kind enough to chat with me for a bit. While this was going on, Mr. Sulton walks by.
Then I go to the gate, Richie and Andy sit right behind me. Am I on the same flight? Yes!! Eric, Buck and the other crew member (sorry I forget his name) sit down. I am in fanboy heaven!
It was hard not to bother them, I did not. Entering the aircraft, folks are having a bit of trouble stowing their luggage, no worries, I will chat with Mr. Roeser while I wait! Score! What fun to be on the same plane.
Give it up for the folks in the Pacific Northwest. They stood up right when the band came on, not many people sat down all night. I believe the band felt it too.
Strong, rocking performance for two hours! 18 song set list! Wow! Last Days was an event! ME 262 was f'ing metal. All around wonderful performance!
A local group called Medicine Hat opened. 8 piece band. I guess I would classify them as Canada rock. They were alright. Very good musicians.
Another fantastic evening of BOC! Thanks guys!
A freight rep I deal with invited me to hang out in Vegas the same weekend BOC was in town - score!! The Golden Nugget casino has a really nice showroom. Nice comfy chairs. Not a bad seat in the house.
A slamming, awesome rock show from the Oyster boys. Good audience. These guys just keep getting better with every performance.
Mr. Radino has been on fire this year! Nice ovations for Buck and Richie for the Last Days solos. Thanks for the rock guys!!
I don't know of any gigs booked for November... but check here to see blueoystercult.com's current show list detailing BOC's current gig schedule for all the latest info...
I don't know of any gigs booked for December... but check here to see blueoystercult.com's current show list detailing BOC's current gig schedule for all the latest info...

this is the first in a series of Gift Guides for Makers! i can’t help you when it comes to the kids in your life, or your tech-y brother, but if you’ve got creative-minded people (or those with secret aspirations) i’ve got some ideas. as i mentioned in my last post, this list is completely biased; most/all of the items are created and sold by makers who are my friends, or people i admire. the cool part is that you are giving a double gift when you choose to shop from independent small businesses, because your giftee is getting something extra special, and the small business is getting your support. WIN/WIN!!! also, everything i’m suggesting is something i either already own, or covet myself, so you know i’m sincere!
i have always loved kits. something about the concept of having everything you need to do a project in one box seems like magic. and for that reason i think kits make ideal gifts, whether for someone who wants to try out a new fiber craft, or a seasoned maker.
i got to test this brand new natural dye kit for christi johnson of mixed color and it was so fun! since moving upstate, i’ve tended to save dyeing as an outdoor activity during the warmer months, but this kit reminded me that the kitchen can also be an impromptu dye studio.
christi’s kit includes a beautiful instruction booklet that she wrote and illustrated. i found it to have just enough instruction to be clear, while still feeling creative and playful. note: the lovely silk noil scarf was originally white, but in the mordanting phase i had the bright idea of tossing in two other silk scarves which i had dyed with turquoise acid dyes, and they turned the noil scarf aqua. i didn’t really mind the addition of more color, but my results don’t accurately reflect what the kit would normally do. i chose the logwood; the other options are madder and cutch. if you know someone who’s been wanting to try natural dyeing, this is a lovely introduction.
below, behold my finished scarf! the purple is the logwood and the aqua from my rookie mistake. but i love it! i folded it in squares and put the (included in kit) popsicle stick diagonally across (upper right pic above) and this is what i got:
my pal, the wondrous ann wood has also started offering kits for both her Mr. Socks and Tiny Rag Doll patterns! apparently both were big hits, because they’re sold out at the moment, but she says she’ll have more soon and you can sign up to receive notification when they’re back. i have both of these patterns (which also make great gifts on their own), and at the top of my projects list this winter is to stitch them up while staying cozy by the woodstove…
A Verb for Keeping Warm offers several exquisitely-sourced kits for projects designed by proprietor kristine vejar: (top) for hand-stitchers, the full moon project bag kit, (middle) the embroidered constellation bandana kit, and (bottom) the naturally dyed and sewn flowers at my fingertips kit.
the first two kits are for pieces kristine designed for Making magazine, so you’d want to include those issues in your gift for the how-to steps (p.s. i’ll be talking more about this delightful publication in an upcoming gift guide). the third is in her beloved book, The Modern Natural Dyer, which of course makes an excellent gift too!
embroidery is becoming more popular all the time, and the samplers of artist rebecca ringquist are my favorite way to introduce someone to this portable craft. she prints her designs onto cloth to be hand-stitched by the lucky recipient. these aren’t kits, but you could easily assemble some floss, needles and a sweet pair of snips, and perhaps one of her classes on Creativebug* or a monthly subscription to all of their workshops for a gift no craftily-inclined human could not love!
ok, that should get you started!
*note: as always, all links to Creativebug (where i teach more than 15 online workshops) are affiliate links.

The news around climate collapse or pollution is so relentlessly grim that it requires considerable resilience to continue to engage.
Nevertheless, opting out is hardly possible especially as report after report outlines the challenges we face. We must respond and reform or succumb.
Another chiding EPA report shows that Dublin’s air pollution reached levels not seen since before the ban on smoky coal 30 years ago. The EPA confirmed air pollution was 15 times higher than EU or WHO guidelines last Saturday.
This is not solely a Dublin problem as UCC scientists said limits were regularly surpassed last week in Cork City, Ennis, Tralee, Macroom, and Enniscorthy. That those figures were gathered during a Covid-19 commuting lull is significant.
As if that was not enough for one day, we publish a warning that Ireland will be — not might be — one of the countries worst-hit by coastal flooding brought about by rising seas. One analysis warns that in a lifetime or two the Earth’s poles will be ice-free, and sea levels will have risen by 80m.
Those predictions are almost overwhelming and will become so unless we bring an altogether new energy and commitment to mending our carbon-dependent lifestyles in the immediate future. Anyone who still doubts that should for a moment consider what our estuary towns and cities might look like after an 8m rise.
That would be disastrous but an 80m rise would be unsustainable and epoch ending.

A group of Republican lawmakers, including the chairmen of the House Financial Services Committee and House Committee on Agriculture, has formally requested SEC Chair Gary Gensler to provide clear guidance on the regulatory stance regarding the custody of non-security digital assets by Special Purpose Broker-Dealers (SPBD).
The March 26 letter specifically demands clarity on the status of Ethereum (ETH) and further requests the regulator to establish clear definitions for various terms related to crypto, digital assets, securities, and investment contracts.
The letter was signed by 48 members of Congress, including House Financial Services Committee chair Patrick McHenry and House Committee on Agriculture chair Glenn Thompson. Lawmakers asked for a response to their questions by April 9.
According to the letter, the SEC has failed to propose a rule or provide comprehensive guidance for asset classification, and the term “digital asset securities” remains undefined.
Lawmakers said that despite a public record from both the SEC and the CFTC identifying ETH as a non-security digital asset, there is concern over the lack of transparency in the SEC’s SPBD regime and the potential regulatory implications of allowing such custody services.
The letter poses the question: “Is ETH a digital asset security?” The query is followed by several other questions depending on the answer.
The letter comes in the wake of Prometheum Inc.’s announcement that its subsidiary — Prometheum Ember Capital, a FINRA-approved SPBD — plans to offer custody services for Ethereum to institutional clients.
They emphasized the “alarming scenario” posed by Prometheum’s announcement, arguing that it could lead to “irreparable consequences for the digital asset markets” if allowed to proceed under the current regulatory framework, which does not explicitly permit SPBD custody of non-security digital assets.
Highlighting the discrepancy between the SEC’s enforcement actions and the historical recognition of ETH as a non-security digital asset, the letter criticized the SEC for not providing comprehensive guidance or rules for the digital asset marketplace regarding asset classification.
The lawmakers said that this lack of clarity has “exacerbated” the uncertainty within the digital asset ecosystem, complicating the ability of regulated entities to comply with SEC regulations.
The letter also highlights the broader implications of the SEC potentially classifying ETH as a digital asset security, including the impact on CFTC-registered commodity derivative exchanges and the availability of ETH Futures for trading.
Such a decision could have significant repercussions for market participants, potentially eliminating access to essential risk management tools and causing significant price dislocation across the ETH market.
The letter concludes by warning of the “chilling effect” on US digital asset markets should regulatory uncertainty persist, emphasizing the importance of clear and consistent regulatory guidance to ensure continued growth and innovation within the digital asset space.

Loans available for nonfarm businesses affected by drought
Gov. Jay Nixon announced Tuesday that the U.S. Small Business Administration will make low-interest disaster loans available to small, nonfarm businesses in all 114 Missouri counties and the city of St. Louis due to the prolonged heat and drought.
Economic Injury Disaster Loans are available because of the statewide agricultural disaster declaration issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture at the governor's request.
Those eligible for loans are small, nonfarm businesses; small agricultural cooperatives; small businesses engaged in aquaculture; and most private not-for-profit organizations of any size. These businesses may qualify for loans of up to $2 million to help meet expenses that could have been met had damage from the drought not occurred.
The deadline to apply for the loans is March 18.
The disaster declaration issued last month by the USDA makes farmers and ranchers eligible for low-interest federal loans from the Farm Service Agency.
Applications are available online at disasterloan.sba.gov/ela. Disaster loan information and applications are also available from SBA's Customer Service Center by calling 800-659-2955, emailing firstname.lastname@example.org or visiting www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance. The hearing-impaired may call 800-877-8339.

Royal College of Midwives comment on NHS pay agreement - ‘real about turn from recent years of pay stagnation’ says RCM
By RCM on 21 March 2018 Pay and Agenda For Change
Today the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) and the other health unions have agreed in principal a three year pay package with the Government for NHS staff. This includes midwives and maternity support workers on the NHS Agenda for Change (AfC) pay structure.* The deal means many staff will see overall pay increases of 9% to 29% over three years. Pay for those already on the top point of each pay bands will see their pay rise by at least 6.5% over three years. As an example percentage increases for those below the top point of AfC band 6 range from 24.89% at the bottom of the band to 11.78% at the existing penultimate point after 3 years. This is the band comprising the greatest number of midwives.
There will also be quicker progression through the pay bands as these have been shortened, and NHS workers will now reach the full rate for the job quicker. Overlaps between pay bands have also been removed resulting in much better starting salaries on each band.
Also, no holidays will be lost by any staff as part of this agreement. The RCM along with the other unions also resisted any undermining of the value of unsocial hours payments. This is important to midwives providing a 24 hour, 365 day service where a third of take home earnings may come from unsocial hours enhancements. Crucially this agreement will also be fully funded by the Government and not come out of existing NHS funding.
The RCM is also pleased to see the Government recognise the need to care for NHS staff with a commitment to improve productivity through greater emphasis on staff health and wellbeing. This is a reflection of the aims of the RCM Caring for You campaign, running since 2016.
The RCM will now be consulting its members on the agreement with the results of that consultation expected at the end of May. The member elected RCM Board backs this pay deal and recommends that RCM members accept it.
Commenting Jon Skewes, the RCM’s lead negotiator, said: “This pay deal is the best that has been achieved for any public sector workers, and one that completely breaks the Government’s pay policy of recent years. It is a real achievement and one that we and the other unions have fought hard to get for our dedicated and hardworking members.
“We have been campaigning for fair pay overdue and this deal is a very good step in the right direction. It is the start of really valuing the contribution of NHS staff. It is also good for recruitment and retention of midwives and maternity support workers, given the chronic current shortages in maternity services.
“This is a real about turn from recent years of pay stagnation and pay freezes particularly given the current economic climate. It is a deal that I encourage our members to accept.”
Information on the pay agreement can be read at https://www.nhspay.org/.

Note to editors
*The agreement is for NHS staff on the Agenda for Change pay structure. This includes among others midwives, nurses, physiotherapists, and podiatrists.

text: BMS-663068 is a phosphonooxymethyl ester prodrug under development for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. The prodrug is designed to overcome the solubility-limited bioavailability of the active moiety, BMS-626529. BMS-663068 is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and requires enzymatic conversion by alkaline phosphatase to BMS-626529 immediately before absorption. In the light of the known short in vivo half-life of BMS-626529, compartmental absorption modeling was used to predict the potential feasibility of extended-release(ER) delivery to achieve target Cmax :Cmin ratios. To further refine the model with respect to colonic absorption, the regional absorption of BMS-626529 following delivery of BMS-663068 to upper and lower GI sites was characterized through a site of absorption study in human subjects. A refined model was subsequently applied to guide the development of ER tablet formulations. Comparisons of results from the refined model to the in vivo human pharmacokinetic data for three selected ER formulations demonstrate the utility of the model in predicting feasibility of ER delivery and in directing formulation development.

People living along the south and west coasts of Cornwall are being advised to be prepared for possible tidal flooding between Friday and Saturday as heavy rain and strong winds are forecast to combine with high tides.
Following Met Office warnings of heavy rain and strong winds for the South West of England, agencies in Cornwall are asking everyone to be prepared and take precautions where necessary.
The latest information from the Met Office is for heavy rain and strong winds to affect parts of Cornwall during Friday afternoon and early Saturday morning. The Environment Agency has warned many coastal areas will be affected by high tides in the coming days.
Interim repairs have all been completed by Cornwall Council to areas of coastal defences damaged in the recent storms between Christmas and the New Year.
Work has taken place in Eastern Green at Long Rock, Portreath, Newquay, Bude, Seaton, Kingsand and Falmouth. Cornwall has responded swiftly to make essential emergency repairs and has also worked on schemes for full repairs where necessary.
A Cornwall Council spokesman said: "There is a risk that the combination of the already saturated ground, strong winds and the predicted further rainfall, strong winds and high tides could cause minor flooding and coastal damage in some areas. As a result people living in areas in coastal areas or at risk of flooding are advised to take precautions and not to drive through any flood water. We are also advising people to avoid walking along the coast path and by cliff edges during the strong winds.
"Officers from Cornwall Council’s Highways, Environment, Fire and Rescue and Emergency Management services, Devon and Cornwall Police, CORMAC and the Environment Agency are monitoring the situation and are on standby to deal with any problems."
A Silver Conference call will take place at 11am today (Friday 31 January).
Anyone whose property is prone to flooding should ensure they have a supply of sandbags ready to protect their home or business should they need to. Local communities are also encouraged to check with vulnerable neighbours in case they need help with obtaining flood protection materials.
Sandbags can be obtained from builders merchants, DIY and hardware stores. Anyone who is unsure if their property is at risk can check on the Environment Agency website www.environment-agency.gov.uk or call the Floodline on 0845 988 1188.
Members of the public are advised to sign up to receive free flood warnings from the Environment Agency website, check weather reports on the Met Office website or by listening to local radio , checking local media and be prepared to change travel plans.
Further advice on preparing for flooding is also available from the Council’s website at ww.cornwall.gov.uk/flooding

There’s a story getting a lot of attention which I find shocking. Police in Hawthorne, California, while arresting a man shot and killed his dog in the street. You can read the story here and here (The second link contains a video of the incident which could be disturbing for some people). In a nutshell, Leon Rosby was watching the police with the music on his car playing loudly. He refused to turn it down, did not resist arrest but then his dog jumped out the car window to protect him. Supposedly to defend themselves, the police shot and killed it.
Obviously there are a couple of aspects to the story. If a policeman’s life is threatened he should be able to defend himself and that may require deadly force. Rosby should have turned down his radio when instructed. The question then is whether the actions taken were reasonable under the circumstances. I think they were not and constitute excessive use of force. Continue reading →
There is a culture of violence in South Africa which is retarding any efforts to move the country forward. Violent protests end up causing more problems than there were originally and, even worse, those aggressive tendencies are manipulated by politicians in order to maintain power. We know there is a problem with violence when we look at crime but at times we become so used to it that we seem to forget to call it out when it happens.
The most notable recent violence has been the Marikana massacre where 34 striking miners were killed by police and around 80 injured. Obviously such an event is a tragedy and there will be an inquiry into the events to find out exactly what happened and what went wrong but one aspect of the problem is already obvious, the culture of violence in South Africa. Whether the police were wrong to respond the way they did I don’t think we can just dismiss what the workers themselves were doing. Professor Pierre de Vos seems quite happy to ignore their actions.

Edmund Hillary Everest docudrama Beyond the Edge films in New Zealand
New Everest feature Beyond the Edge filmed in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, which doubled for the Himalayan peak. The movie takes a docudrama approach to the first officially successful ascent of Everest in 1953 by New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
Filmmaker Leanne Pooley drew inspiration from Kevin Macdonald’s 2003 docudrama feature Touching the Void. Macdonald’s film uses a docudrama approach and a talking-head interview format to recount the story of a near-fatal attempt to scale a peak in the Peruvian Andes in the mid-1980s.
Pooley decided to drop the talking-head element for Beyond the Edge, but chose to make use of actual footage filmed during the historic 1953 Everest ascent, as well as still photographs taken at the time. Location filming took place on New Zealand's Tasman Glacier for 21 days in March 2013.
“The mountains have got to be one of the hardest places to film,” explained producer Matthew Metcalfe: “A typical day for us started with most of the team rising at 5am – we have breakfast between 5:45am and 6am – get the latest weather reports, and from there we grab our kit and head down to the airport at Mount Cook or go to the studio if weather is bad."
The team used eight different helicopters to get 1.5 tonnes of equipment up 10,000 feet to the top of the glacier.
“If we fly, which was more often than not during the shoot, the first choppers are usually in the air at first light and it’s normally a two-hour process to get all the loads up to the mountain,” Metcalfe added.
The production team used eight different helicopters to get 24 crew and 1.5 tonnes of equipment up 10,000 feet to the top of the glacier. Expert mountaineering firm Adventure Consultants helped out and the production crew were all immensely experienced too. Between them, on their previous projects they had scaled the world’s eight tallest peaks multiple times and crossed Antarctica.
Pooley was also able to use new footage of the real Everest, as crew member Mark Whetu - a high-altitude filming specialist and mountaineer - led a second-unit team up the Himalayan peak only a few weeks after New Zealand filming had wrapped. It was in fact Whetu’s seventh Everest ascent.
“It’s been an honour,” Whetu adds, “not only to be involved with and contribute to the production but also to celebrate by climbing Mount Everest during the time of the 60th anniversary (of Hillary’s historic ascent).”
Beyond the Edge is currently on release nationally throughout New Zealand.

In Beijing in the Orthodox Church on the territory of the Russian Embassy, a service of supplication was held to Grand Princess, martyr Elizabeth Feodorovna. This was announced today in an interview with correspondent of Itar-Tass, said Bishop Sergius (Ivannikov) of Barnaul and Altai.
“Today’s liturgy has been devoted to the appearance of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God – the keeper of the Orthodox East,” – said Bishop Sergius. “After Sunday’s liturgy, a prayer was also chanted in her honor, and we visited the site of the ruined temple, where the remains were buried before, of other co-martyrs of the Princess - Grand Duke Sergei, the princes of royal blood John, Konstantin and Igor, and their servants – Theodore and Vladimir.
Primate of Serbian Church thanks Patriarch Kirill for hospitality during his peace visit and celebration marking 1025th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus’
His Holiness Patriarch Irenaios of Serbia, after his visit to the Russian Orthodox Church in July 2013, sent a letter of thanks to His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia. The letter states in particular:
‘By God’s blessing and through the virtues of Your Holiness as a generous host and the selfless work of the whole Russian Orthodox Church, we made our peace visit to our most holy sister Russian Orthodox Church and also took part in the celebrations on the occasion of the 1025th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus’ by the Holy Prince Vladimir Equal-to-the-Apostles’
The celebrations marking the 1025th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus’ in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus were over in the end of July. Among the witnesses to and participants in the celebrations was His Beatitude Chrysostomos II, Archbishop of New Justiniana and All Cyprus. His interview has been published by the prichod.ru portal.
The Russian Orthodox Church is preparing to give over 1.3 million US dollars to residents of Syrian cities, spokesman of the Synodal Department for Church Charity and Social Ministry Vasily Rulinsky said.
In an interview with Izvestiya newspaper, Rulinsky said, "The Antioch Church's Department for External Church Relations and Development helps. Clothes, mattresses, foodstuff and hygienic essentials are being given to those in need. Thus, our assistance will be very important."
"At the end of June Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia urged believers to help those who fall victims of the armed conflict in Syria. Funds, which were collected by the Russian Orthodox Church eparchies, are being sent to the accounts of the Synodal Department for Church Charity and Social Ministry. Then the funds will be handed over to Patriarch John X of Antioch and All the East, as well as to Supreme Mufti Ahmad Badreddin Hassoun of Syria.
The Orthodox Church of St Elias in Istanbul is under threat of demolition. The Church that was built in late 19th century and once attended by descendants of participants of the White movement who in 1920s fled Russia, together with two more Churches of the community are situated on the territory that the authorities are planning to hand over to the tourist business, reports Challenges.fr. The city administration long ago refused to put the church on the protected objects list.

I really can’t think of a better time than now to start your self-publishing business. Gone are the days when you had to tout your book around multiple publishing companies to try and get your book accepted. Now you can create your books online and publish them on Amazon with just a click of a few buttons.
It was the pandemic in 2020 that inspired me to write my first book. I had been involved in an online business connected to forex trading when I lost a lot of money. At first, it was a huge blow. But, looking back, it was the kick in the pants that I needed to get going into self-publishing.
At first, it was a slow burner, I procrastinated and took what seemed a lifetime to produce my first book. However, once I got into the scheme of things, I started to produce 30,000-word books in around a couple of months, using two-hour blocks of time each day without interruption. Focus is key here. It’s easy to get distracted and once you are distracted, it’s all a lot harder to get back on track.
Self Publishing Secrets – Your First Book
You will always remember publishing your first book fondly. Uploading the manuscript and cover to Amazon and finally pushing the “publish your book” button will give you a great sense of satisfaction. As I write this post, I have published a total of 11 books, both under my own name and under a pen name. I have also published some adult coloring books.
Once you start publishing books, it can become quite addictive. Always remember to put your heart and soul into each book, as you want to be known for writing quality content. If you are creating nonfiction books like myself, you need to leave the reader feeling satisfied that you have solved their problem. After all, people buy and read nonfiction books to mainly solve a nagging problem, whether that is losing weight, making more money, or creating a better habit.
1 book, one problem. Don’t try to solve multiple problems with one book. Create other books to solve the other problems. Every niche that you choose to write books in will have multiple problems within it that people need help with.
Once you have created your manuscript, you have the choice to publish in either the kindle ebook format, paperback or hardback formats. I personally do all three as the more products you have on Amazon the better.
SIDENOTE: Make sure each product you produce is a quality product. Amazon is awash with books of little value, stand out by creating a quality product, and you could be benefitting from the sales for years to come.
I also turn each 30,000-word book into an audiobook. This gives you another platform (Audible) to sell your products on. Amazon actually own Audible. So, when ordering your cover, bear this in mind and order covers for all four formats, as it will probably work out cheaper to get all the covers done in one go.
Self-Publishing Secrets – Marketing Your Book
If you publish with a traditional publisher, they will do all the grunt work for you. However, they will also take the biggest slice of the pie and pay you a much smaller royalty than you can get on the Amazon platform. A lot of authors create books and self-publish them, hoping for the best.
Hoping is not a good strategy when you are in the book business. You need to wear many hats. Maybe you are the writer, the editor, the person who does the formatting. You also need to be the marketer. If you don’t market your book, the chances are it will just sit there.
There are many ways to market your book, I talk about this in my book “Self-Publishing Secrets“, my best advice to you would be to use multiple channels to get people to your book. You will need to get reviews on your book in order to attract buyers. Initially, this can be difficult, especially as you haven’t sold any books yet. To get reviews, I use several methods, one of which is using a company called Pubby.
Pubby have thousands of book readers on their books who can give you an honest review. You can’t offer an incentive to give reviews, this is a breach of Amazon’s terms and conditions, however, you can give the book away in return for an unbiased review.
There are also many other ways to get your book reviewed, too many for one blog post.
I hope this post has given you value and the incentive to self-publish your first book. Please do leave a comment below and share this post.
Have a great day
P.S If you are really serious about self-publishing your own book, this book will leave you a lot of time and money. I hope you like it.

1898: Radium is discovered by the husband-and-wife team of Pierre and Marie Curie.
Sorbonne-bred physicist Pierre Curie had been noodling with crystals and magnetism since the early 1880s. He was a professor at the School of Physics in Paris when one of his students, Marie Sklodowska, caught his eye. They wed in 1895, and theirs was both a happy marriage and a fruitful professional collaboration.
A colleague of the Curies, Henri Becquerel, paved the way for their groundbreaking research with his discovery of spontaneous radioactivity in 1896. With the rest of the scientific community going gaga over Wilhelm Roentgen’s recent discovery of x-rays, Becquerel’s presentation to the Academy of Sciences aroused little interest. However, Marie Curie, casting about for a potential doctoral thesis, took note.
Dragging Pierre away from his crystals, Marie got the ball rolling on what would be the central pillar of their life’s work.
Following on Becquerel, the Curies succeeded in isolating element 84, polonium (named for Poland, the country of Marie’s birth), and then element 88, radium. It was Marie, in particular, who devised a method for separating radium from its radioactive residues, making possible the closer study of its therapeutic properties. This would remain a lifelong interest of hers.
The Curies and Becquerel shared the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physics for their associated research involving what the Nobel committee referred to as the “radiation phenomena.” Thus, Marie Curie became the first woman recipient of a Nobel Prize, nosing out Bertha von Suttner (peace) by two years.
As for Pierre, his satisfaction over winning a Nobel was short lived. He was killed in an accident on a Paris street in 1906. Marie continued with their work, taking over her husband’s position as professor of general physics on the Faculty of Sciences, then becoming director of the Radium Institute’s Curie Laboratory at the University of Paris in 1914.
Marie Curie received a second Nobel Prize in 1911, this time for chemistry. She spent the rest of her life in science, much of it promoting the healing properties of radium. In 1929, five years before her death, Curie founded a radiation laboratory in her native Warsaw.
One of the Curie daughters, Irene, later became a Nobel recipient as well, also in collaboration with her scientist husband.
Curium, element 96, is named in honor of Pierre and Marie Curie. Francium, element 87, is named for France, site of the Curie Institute where it was discovered.
The curie is the international unit of measurement for radioactivity. Although originally defined as the radioactivity of 1 gram of pure radium, it is now specified as 3.7 x 1010 atomic disintegrations per second, or 37 gigabecquerels.
