By Seth Budick - http://www.friends4oldlafarmersmarket.org -Cross-posted from NelaList:
Though avocado season runs year round in Southern California, that constancy belies the subtle shifts as different varieties take center stage in the groves and at the farmers market. For most people, the words avocado and Hass are synonymous, but if you checked out Spencer Farms table last week, you would have discovered Fuerte and Zutano varieties in addition to the ubiquitous Hass. Outside of Southern California, you'd be lucky to find anything other than Hass and the more watery varieties grown in Florida, since thin skinned fruit like the Fuerte travels very poorly. Right now though, we're in the middle of Fuerte season, so why not take advantage of the opportunity to sample some of the wonderful diversity of fruit that's available at the farmers market and nowhere else?
Hass are justifiably famous for their richness and incredibly smooth texture. Fuertes and Zutanos are hardly slackers in those departments however, and after a kitchen taste test, my wife and I concluded that the Fuerte may have the most robust, characteristic avocado flavor of the three. All make wonderful guacamole, sandwich toppings, and additions to salads, so no matter which you choose, you won't be disappointed. Another possibility is to make a delicious salad dressing by pureeing the flesh of 1 large avocado together with 3/4C buttermilk, the juice of 1 Meyer lemon and 1 orange or tangerine, 1/2tsp salt and 1/2C fresh cilantro.
While there's no denying that avocados are fatty, most of that is monounsaturated fat, like olive oil, and avocados are also cholesterol free. You might start preparing for any impending bans on trans fats by switching over to avocados now! Avocados are also rich in potassium (more than bananas), fiber, B vitamins, vitamin E and folate. For a list of what else is in season now at the market, click on http://www.friends4oldlafarmersmarket.org. As always, take home fresh breads, cheeses, nuts and fruit preserves, or enjoy a dinner of roasted corn and potatoes, tamales and honey pineapple chicken.
Please stop by the market for fresh, field-ripened, high quality produce from local farmers and spend time with your friends, neighbors and other community members.
The Highland Park Certified Farmers Market is located adjacent to the Highland Park Gold Line station at Marmion Way between Ave. 57 & 58 and operates Tuesdays from 3-7PM.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, especially in New York State. Every winter, New York turns into one big wonderland. We have more ski resorts than any other state, brilliant museums for adults and children who want to warm up indoors, incredible cold-weather wildlife, and endless ways to stay moving all season long. Check out our ultimate New York bucket list of items to have the most exciting, memorable winter yet!
1. Feel the rush on Holiday Valley’s Mountain Coaster
Winter turns New York State’s soaring mountains into giant natural playgrounds—and New Yorkers are great at finding new ways to enjoy the landscape. This winter, head to the Holiday Valley ski resort to ride their unique Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster. After you’re strapped in, the car will be pulled up 283 feet before sending you off “flying” down the mountain. You’ll ride over waves and curves, one jump, and a large spiral. You can ride alone or with a friend or little one over the age of 3 (drivers must be 16 or older). You can control the speed by pulling levers in the car or just enjoy the ride. Afterward, check out Holiday Valley’s amazing ski slopes and warm up with hot chocolate in one of its several lodges.
2. Say “Mush!” on Thunder Mountain Dog Sled Tours
One of the most exciting and, frankly, cutest ways to celebrate the natural beauty of the Adirondacks in winter is taking a ride on a sled pulled by dogs. Thunder Mountain Dog Sled Tours offer two options. The Loop of Mirror Lake tour takes you around the lake—once it’s thoroughly frozen, of course. Alternatively, the Adirondack Wilderness tour takes you on an exciting adventure through the woods. These pups are working dogs so rest assured that they love to run with their pack.
3. Get moving at the Strong National Museum of Play
We know the short cold days of winter can have kids feeling a little restless and cooped up inside the house, and we’ve got the perfect solution. Rochester has an entire museum dedicated to play and it happens to be one of the largest museums in the country. All the exhibits are highly interactive and let kids (and adults!) explore electronic games, obstacle courses, a large toy supermarket, giant Etch-a-Sketches, sports, and more. There’s also a year-round indoor butterfly garden to help you forget all about the cold weather outside.
4. Learn how to ride an ice-bike at Canalside Buffalo
You’ve probably tried biking. You’ve probably tried ice skating. But have you ever tried ice-biking? We’re guessing not! This winter is your chance to experience this unique sport on the large open-air ice rink at Canalside Buffalo. Don’t worry, it’s as easy as riding a bike, but it takes place on top of the ice. The bikes are super stable and have two little platforms on either side that you can stand on, so there is zero risk of falling over. If you feel like a fish out of water on ice skates, this might be the perfect activity for you. Plus, Canalside gets super festive during the winter. There are plenty of restaurants, food trucks, and vendors to check out after working up an appetite.
5. Experience the glory of the Gold Coast at the Vanderbilt Museum & Planetarium
Credit: Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum
Get your history fix this winter with a tour of the stunning former home of William K. Vanderbilt II. His mansion has been converted into a museum filled with collected art and wonders from his travels. The house itself is a beautiful Spanish Revival overlooking the Long Island Sound, and walking around its majestic hallways feels like exploring a time capsule of the Gilded Age. In fact, it’s one of the few surviving Long Island Gold Coast estates. Once you’ve explored the mansion, head on over to the 147-seat state-of-the-art Charles and Helen Reichert Planetarium. Gaze up at the stars on its 60-foot dome, or soak in the real thing from the rooftop observatory on Friday nights, weather permitting. An astronomy educator will guide you on what to look for through a telescope.
6. Hit the slopes at Plattekill Ski Mountain
While there are so many excellent skiing destinations in New York State, definitely add family-owned Plattekill Mountain in the Catskills to your itinerary. The slopes are spacious, uncrowded, and very well maintained. They offer skiing and snowboarding lessons for all levels, from ages four and up. For the littlest skiers, Plattekill has a special “SNOWKIDDING” program which turns the fundamentals of skiing into fun games so they’ll love the sport as much as you do. Aprés-ski, feel warm and toasty next to the fireplace in the lodge.
7. Admire the art at Dia:Beacon
Feel inspired this winter with a visit to the world-renowned Dia:Beacon art museum in the heart of the Hudson Valley. What used to be a factory to print boxes for Nabisco is now a museum with enormous works of art and sculpture. Some pieces fill an entire room, and some pieces are the room, using the walls or floor itself in creative ways. It’s sheer heaven for fans of contemporary and modern art, but even if you don’t 100% understand what you’re looking at, it’s still awe-inspiring to feel dwarfed by expansive works of art.
The thrill of motorcycling meets winter fun (safely!) at Tug Hill State Forest. Bring your own vehicle, or rent from Flat Rock Inn at Tug Hill Plateau, and enjoy access to more than 800 miles of snowy groomed trails. Plus, after you’re happily exhausted, you can stay overnight at the Inn, or just pop in for a warm meal at the restaurant. Rentals are only for ages 18 and up.
2022 is so far away, but you don’t have to wait to get some Winter Olympics excitement! You can find a whole lot of it in Lake Placid, home to the games in 1932 and 1980. Head to the observation deck at the Olympic Jumping Complex to see where ski jumpers launch into thin air, as well as panoramic views of the Adirondack Mountains. Check out the Olympic Museum and even go ice skating on the actual Olympic Speed Skating Oval before warming up at the fire pit. Finally, you—yes, you!—can try bobsledding on the actual track with professional drivers and brakemen, or try the Lake Placid Skeleton Experience solo.
10. Have the snowiest season ever at Gore Mountain at North Creek
Gore Mountain is well-known for its variety of long-run trails for all levels of skiing and snowboarding against an unforgettable backdrop of the Adirondack Mountains. This year, the snowmaking system has been overhauled to allow trails to open earlier and terrain to be expanded faster! Your snowy slope time is maximized with 14 lifts, a high-speed gondola, and two high-speed quads. Check out their Holiday Camps on long weekends, daily lessons for ages 4 to 12, and the new headquarters for the Mountain Adventure programs for kids in the expanded base lodge.
11. March over to see the penguins at the Aquarium of Niagara
If you need a break from the chilly weather, well darling, it’s better down where it’s wetter! ...Not necessarily under the sea, but definitely at the amazing Aquarium of Niagara. Come to see sharks, sea lions, sea horses, a giant Pacific octopus, and plenty of penguins! The aquarium built a brand new habitat for a colony of endangered Humboldt penguins in March of 2018, so it’s one of just a few places in the country to see them. Your regular admission tickets include watching penguin feedings, talks with animal experts, and sea lion shows. You can also splurge a bit on either a sea lion encounter or a penguin encounter, where you can touch, feed, and interact with one of these amazing animals yourself.
11. Fly over the snow on the Hunter Mountain Zipline
See the snowy slopes from above as you glide over Hunter Mountain on the world’s second-longest zipline, the Summit SkyRider Tour. You’ll feel like you’re flying on the incredible 4.2-mile-long ride, and you can even race a friend! Hunter Mountain also has fantastic groomed lanes that are perfect for snow tubing if you or someone in your group has a fear of heights. There are a snack bar and fire pit to warm up your fingers and toes after you’re done feeling like Superman, or a flying squirrel.
12. See the cutest sights on a Captain Lou Seal Watching Tour
Take advantage of the season by seeking out adorable plump harbor seals! The seal-watching season begins in December so make plans now to head to Freeport, Long Island and board one of the special tours with Captain Lou's fleet. The boat has a heated cabin stocked with warm beverages where you can thaw cold toes and fingers. A naturalist aboard the ship will accompany the tour, explaining all about these majestic creatures. December 28–April 6
13. Find the perfect gifts and treats at a holiday village
Credit: Stephanie Perez
When you imagine the North Pole, are you picturing warm twinkling lights, hundreds of charming little gifts, seasonal treats, and warm drinks? Well, you can actually find something pretty similar at one of New York City’s three major holiday villages where you’ll find everything you’d want to gift your friends, family, and self. Visit the market in Bryant Park and you’re perfectly situated to take a spin on the full-size ice-skating rink next to a giant Christmas tree. The Union Square Holiday Market is growing larger, with new themed sections, including one dedicated entirely to food! And, brand new this year, the Brooklyn Museum is setting up the spacious Winter Fest, with crafted goods, delectable bites to eat, and activities like rides, events, visiting Santa, and more. The Winter Village at Chautauqua is another amazing holiday market farther out west where you can find amazing shopping and dining options, meet up with Santa, go for a sleigh ride, and witness the proud participants in the "Reindog" Parade.
14. Chill out while ice fishing
Enjoy the calm of New York’s icy landscapes by heading out on an ice fishing adventure on frozen Lake Ontario, Oneida Lake, or Skaneateles Lake. Sandy Pond, or North Pond, at the east end of Lake Ontario is a hotspot for ice fishers seeking pike, perch, panfish, bluegills, and sunfish. Just about one hour away, Oneida Lake is another reliable go-to for perch and panfish, as well as walleyes. There’s nothing more relaxing than enjoying the quiet snowy lake and seeing what bites!
15. Stay warm and wildly entertained at Destiny USA
Destiny USA is a mall that pushes the very definition of the word “mall.” As New York State’s largest shopping center, it’s home to more than 250 shops and outlets, more than 30 dining options, an indoor go-karting track, ropes course, comedy club, and museums. Later this winter, the indoor wonderland is getting even better with the brand new Apex Entertainment Center. There will be a multi-level laser tag arena, bumper cars, bowling, VR experiences, and more. Plus, the new venue is getting its own full-service American kitchen and tavern.
16. Go snow tubing at Windham Mountain
Snow tubing involves zero skill, minimal effort, and the fun payoff is HUGE. What’s not to love? Head to Windham Mountain for some of the best conditions in the country. Barrel down a 650-foot snowy slope, then ride the conveyor lift back up to do it all over again! There are no height or age restrictions as long as you fit in the tube, so the whole family can partake.
17. Take a trip to the North Pole
Yes, you can visit the North Pole right here in New York! Just head on over to the North Pole theme park in the Adirondacks where you’ll find an abundance of holiday cheer and fun activities throughout the season. Walk around Santa’s Workshop to see where the magic happens and meet the big man and the missus themselves. Little ones will have a blast on the carousel, steam train, and kiddie rides, while everyone will love exploring the bake shop, candy shop, and reindeer barn. You can even send letters from the post office, postmarked from the North Pole, if you know anyone who needs a reminder that Santa is indeed real.
18. Explore state parks on snowshoes
Don’t let New York’s thick snowfall get in the way of exploring the beautiful state parks. Both John Boyd Thacher State Park and Thompson's Lake State Park are the perfect spots to strap on cross-country skis or snowshoes and trace the plentiful pristine trails. At Thacher Park, try the three-mile Fred Schroeder Memorial Trail which loops through the woods and past an overlook from High Point. In the adjacent Thompson Lake Park, swing by the Emma Treadwell Thacher Nature Center for information on all the various trails and even snowshoe rentals.
19. Learn about heroic New Yorkers at the Equal Rights Heritage Center
Don’t miss a visit to Auburn’s brand-new Equal Rights Heritage Center in the Finger Lakes, opening mid-November. Informative, beautiful displays will guide you through the fascinating stories of Americans who fought for civil rights right here in New York. Feel awed and inspired as you make your way through exhibits on abolition, the Underground Railroad, women’s suffrage, and LGBTQ history.
20. Feel the winter magic at the Mohonk Mountain House
Credit: Michael Bloom
Finally, consider your winter complete with a visit to the regal yet super-cozy Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz. The resort looks like a cross between castle and ski lodge—when it’s covered in snow, you’ll feel like you’re in a fairy tale. If you’re spending the night, take an enchanting ride in a horse-drawn carriage ride, or go for a spin on the ice-skating rink. You can also purchase a day pass and hike, cross-country ski, or snowshoe your way around beautiful trails on the Mohonk Preserve.

Then there’s the corporate malfeasance achievable when executives with a far better understanding of their company’s worth can leverage their personal solutions into undeserved wealth. At the exact same time, numerous executives at firms that had failed or suffered massive losses received record levels of compensation. For Buffett, executive bonuses can function to motivate people today to go above and beyond, but only when they’re closely tied to private results in areas within an organization where an executive has responsibility.

CNBC has a stage set up for its live-streaming coverage of the meeting, watched by many more folks than these present in person. Chairman Warren Buffett mentioned “one fellow in the office” spent $41 billion over a three-week period this year, repurchasing Berkshire shares. … We only repurchase shares when that is the greatest issue to do,” Buffett mentioned. “Imagine if you owned a farm and you had 640 acres, and you farmed it,” he stated. “Every year you produced a small funds on it, and you enjoyed farming, and somehow 20 or so years later, it had turned into 1,00 or 1,200 acres.” That is comparable to the impact of well-timed stock repurchases.

Carnage erupted at Birmingham’s Arcadian Center when mobsters associated with the notorious Burger Bar Boys and Johnson Crew met by chance at a party. The mess unfolded at the Levana bar when members believed to be from spin-off groups Armed Response and the Army Goon Squad clashed in August last year.
Birmingham Crown Court heard one of the mobsters involved drew a gun causing panic in the nightclub while another brandished a knife amid scenes where chairs and barriers were thrown. The violence also spilled over into the nearby parking lot where the rivals continued to act aggressively towards each other.
Six of the culprits were subsequently arrested; Shayne Campbell, 26, Ashai Gray, 28, and Theo White, 33, all believed to be affiliated with Armed Response, off filming Burger Bar Boys, as well as Tyrell Meikle, 33, Fabian Williams, 35, and Rikardo Reid, 32, considered members of Johnson Crew’s Goon Squad Army, also known as Get Some Ambition.

Two other people, including the alleged shooter, are still at large. They all admitted a fighting offense while ‘lead player’ Campbell also pleaded guilty to uttering threats with a knife.
Today, Thursday June 9, Judge Sarah Buckingham called the six defendants ‘pathetic’ as she handed down a mix of immediate and suspended prison sentences. She suggested the violence could have resulted from “disputes over postcodes, territory or revenge for a previous attack”, but added that “the reasons ultimately remain unclear”.
Judge Buckingham said: “Whatever the reasons are clearly pathetic and unnecessary. You are all grown men and not minors. You all have previous convictions.
“Your ego prevents you from seeing reality and accepting the fact that any perceived respect you feel you have or are entitled to due to associations or gang membership is entirely false. Any sense of respect you think receiving is only fear.”
The incident happened on August 2. Prosecutor Caroline Harris said: “The case involves violence between two rival gangs at the Arcadian. Members of AR – Armed Response – which is made up of younger members of the Burger Bar Boys gang, and GSA – Goon Squad Army or Get Some Ambition – which is made up of younger members of the Johnson Crew.”
Summing up each defendant’s individual role, she told the court that White “incited violence” by throwing an object inside the club. He then argued with a rival and threw a punch, but eventually ended up being knocked to the ground unconscious and stomped on.
But White was relatively unharmed and was captured on CCTV in the parking lot shortly after approaching a vehicle and acting aggressively towards the occupants. The prosecutor said Campbell tried to attack someone with a knife in the initial mess and only missed because he slipped on a barrier.
Camera footage also showed the blade sticking out of his pants while he was in the parking lot minutes later. The court heard that Meikle put on gloves before approaching White, hitting him on the head and stomping on him as he lay on the ground.
Gray threw chairs and barriers at rival gang members while Williams threw a drink at White before kicking him in the head as he lay on the ground. Finally, Reid, who was in the smoking area, also kicked the fallen White and pushed a barrier over him.
Judge Buckingham said: “Whether you are members, associates or fully paid supporters, this was a violent incident between two rival gangs at the Arcadian Centre. Members of the public were in attendance, it was dark, patrons Were drunk and relaxed, and certainly not expecting trouble.
“As a result, they and the staff working on site were clearly vulnerable. One of you who was not detained was seen brandishing what appears to be a firearm. Anyone present had to be placed in fear.”
Campbell, who was on license at the time for a gun-related conviction, was jailed for 30 months. Olivia Whitworth, defending, said he had been “exposed to gangs for much of his life”, but added that he had had time to reflect while in custody and now wanted a ” best way” for her newborn son.
Gray, who was also on a Class A drug trafficking license, was jailed for 15 months. Gulam Ahmed, mitigating for him, said he made a “serious mistake” and “regrets his actions”. He added: “He had a paid job (at a real estate agency). He can, when he wants, be a paid member of the community, which he wanted. He thought he had drawn a line under that.”
White’s attorney was not present, but the judge confirmed that she had read the written submissions on his behalf. He was sentenced to an 18-month suspended sentence for two years as well as 35 days of rehabilitation activity and 100 hours of unpaid work.
Williams, also a convicted drug dealer who disputed his association with the GSA, was jailed for 18 months. Geraldine Toal, defending, said: “He is a gentleman with a checkered past, with other convictions on record against him. He is eager to get on with his life, potentially as a law-abiding citizen in due course.”
Reid, who was the “lightest convicted” of the defendants for drug and public order offences, received a 12-month sentence, suspended for two years. He must complete 25 days of rehabilitation activity and 100 hours of unpaid work. Rob Cowley, for him, told the court that he had a music career, developed properties and produced sportswear.
The lawyer added: “He is a busy and industrious man. Despite his background, his early start in life and his early convictions, he is someone who has shown his ability to change his life and has done, but for this recent and out of character behavior.”
Meikle, who has previous convictions for drug-related offences, was given a 20-month suspended sentence for two years and ordered to perform 40 days of rehabilitation activities and 150 hours of unpaid work. Graham Henson, defending, said he had ‘lived and breathed gang culture’ for most of his life, but had ‘tried harder than most’ to leave it of late .

A respiratory advocacy group says it is outraged the Government could apparently allow a tobacco factory to continue operating during the coronavirus lockdown.
The Asthma and Respiratory Foundation is calling for the supposed decision to allow Imperial Tobacco’s factory in Petone, Lower Hutt to remain open to be reversed immediately.
Imperial spokeswoman Louise Evans McDonald told Stuff on Thursday the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment (MBIE) had approved the factory’s operation through the lockdown.
It does seem unusual but worth thinking about what happens if there is a shortage of tobacco for those addicted to smoking.
We’ve already seen the tax increases leading to a huge spike in burglaries and black market activity. I’d say a shortage of legal product would be like that but on steroids.
Also a 28 day stay at home lockdown is stressful enough, without addicts being unable to satisfy their cravings.
So the decision does actually make some sense.

James J. Connolly won the inaugural event in 1926.
From: NYRR Media
Last year, New York Road Runners sponsored the men’s Wanamaker Mile for the first time. Matthew Centrowitz took charge to win his professional debut at the distance in 3:53.92.
On Saturday night, Centrowitz will return to the New Balance Track & Field Center at the Armory for the 106th Millrose Games, not only to defend his NYRR Wanamaker Mile title but also to chase Bernard Lagat’s meet record of 3:52.87.
It could be yet another entry in the long and lively logbook of the race, which in its 87 years has featured the best milers on the planet, world indoor records, revenge, a last-lap tussle, and a race that took 10 months to decide.
It began in 1926, when the 10-year-old Wanamaker 1.5-Mile Run was shortened and the Wanamaker Mile, named after the department store magnate Rodman Wanamaker, was born. Winning the first edition of the race was James J. Connolly, in 4:17.20. Three years later, the great Paavo Nurmi—owner of 12 Olympic medals, nine of them gold—lined up, only to be beaten by Ray Conger of the Illinois Athletic Club. “The band struck up ‘The Stars and Stripes Forever,’ men and women stamped and cheered, officials patted each other on the back and threw derby hats into the air,” wrote Jesse Abramson in the morning Herald-Tribune, according to a recounting in The Wanamaker Millrose Story, a book written by longtime meet director Fred Schmertz and published in 1967. Schmertz’s son, Howard, would take over as meet director in 1975.
In 1932, on the 25th anniversary of the meet, Gene Venzke of the University of Pennsylvania won in a world indoor record time of 4:11.2—the first of four set in the Wanamaker’s history— but it was the next year that ushered in a new era. In 1933, Glenn Cunningham, whose legs had been severely burned in a schoolhouse fire when he was 8 years old, won the first of his six Wanamaker Miles (1933–1935, 1937–1939). Even the gap in 1936 has a story behind it: In a race the week before Millrose, some observers thought that Cunningham should have been disqualified for bumping Joe Mangan. Instead, he was named the winner. Mangan vowed to avenge his defeat, and did.
Then came what truly must be the longest mile ever run. After protests and reversals, it took a vote by the Amateur Athletics Union 10 months after the 1950 Wanamaker Mile to finally declare a winner after Don Gerhmann of Wisconsin and Fred Wilt of the New York Athletic Club finished in a dead heat, with each given a time of 4:09.3. The decision allowed Gerhmann to notch four consecutive wins from 1949 to 1952, a feat that would be matched by Ireland’s Ron Delany from 1956 to 1959.
The year 1955 brought what race director emeritus Howard Schmertz, on the 100th anniversary of Millrose in 2007, called his most memorable Wanamaker, in which Denmark’s Gunnar Nielsen broke the world indoor record with a 4:03.6 win but hardly anyone noticed. That’s because, behind him, Americans Wes Santee and Freddy Dwyer wrestled their way across the finish line after Dwyer tried to pass Santee on the inside as they rounded the final turn.
The first Wanamaker under four minutes was recorded in 1974, when Tony Waldrop of the University of Carolina passed Marty Liquori on the last lap to win in 3:59.7.
Then along came Eamonn Coghlan. The great Irish indoor miler would win his first wooden-track Wanamaker in 1977, after a last-lap sprint against Wilson Waigwa of Kenya and world record-holder Filbert Bayi of Tanzania. In 1981, Coghlan notched his fourth win in a meet-record 3:53.0, which would hold up for 24 years. Coghlan would go on to win again in 1979, 1980, 1981, 1983, 1985, and 1987 to become known as “The Chairman of the Boards.” His record of seven victories would stand for 23 years.
In 1992, another Irishman, Marcus O’Sullivan, won his fifth Wanamaker in seven years; in 2001, Bernard Lagat, then of Kenya, won his first.
Lagat, who became an American citizen in 2004, broke Coghlan’s meet record in 2005, running 3:52.87 in a solo chase. In 2010, the new “President of the Boards” won for a record eighth time, with Coghlan there to congratulate him.
And if Centrowitz breaks the meet record on Saturday, Lagat can emulate Coghlan. The two-time Olympic medalist will be in the house, competing in the two-mile.


One of the best (and strangest) of the Star Trek spoofs
It's scary to think that this movie is considered by some to be "a masterpiece among Turkish movies"; that says a lot more about the state of Turkish cinema than I'd care to know. But the film, more commonly known as "Turkish Star Trek" in English-speaking countries, is one of the most enjoyable of the many Star Trek spoofs in circulation.
The viewer is treated to an outsider's view of the Star Trek universe, as a Turkish slapstick comedian (Turist Ömer) escapes a shotgun wedding thanks to the timely intervention of the starship Enterprise. Borrowing shamelessly from several classic Star Trek episodes (particularly Star Trek's first broadcast episode "The Man Trap") an ability to speak Turkish is not necessary for Star Trek fans to be able to follow the plot, although it may well baffle non-Trekkies. In fact, picking out the various homages (and deciding which characters are being depicted by the actors) may well be one of the most enjoyable aspects.
Interspersed with the familiar scenes are more bizarre sequences, involving a mad scientist (a dead ringer for Alfred Ryder, who played Dr. Crater in "The Man Trap"), as well robots in loincloths, bikini-clad alien girls, and some of the most hilariously bad pre-digital special effects ever committed to film.
It is probable that the dialog makes some sense of the goings-on, but until a subtitled version emerges (don't hold your breath), you're better off to just sit back with some wise-cracking buddies, pass the Romulan ale, and enjoy the show.

Oklahoma mother who locked her four-year-old son in a dog cage for 14 hours a day is sentenced to 22 years behind bars
Suzanne Satterfield, 34, pleaded guilty in May to child abuse by injury and child neglect
Satterfield was sentenced to 22 years behind bars and pleaded guilty in May to child abuse by injury and child neglect
Court documents say Satterfield's son was held in a dog cage last year for an estimated 14 hours each day
Her co-defendant and common-law husband, 32-year-old Jonathon Wade Lee, was sentenced last month to 27 years in prison for child abuse, along with sexually abusing another of Satterfield's children
The mother of a four-year-old boy who locked her son inside a dog case has been sentenced.
Suzanne Satterfield, 34, of Chelsea, Oklahoma, was sentenced to 22 years behind bars. She pleaded guilty in May to child abuse by injury and child neglect.
A district judge in Claremore handed down Satterfield's punishment on Thursday.
Court documents say Satterfield's son was held in a dog cage last year for an estimated 14 hours each day.
Sentenced: Suzanne Satterfield, left, and Jonathon Wade Lee, right, reportedly locked Satterfield's 4-year-old son inside a dog cage
Her co-defendant and common-law husband, 32-year-old Jonathon Wade Lee, was sentenced last month to 27 years in prison for child abuse and sexually abusing another child.
That victim was abused over a two-month period and is one of Satterfield's four children, whom the couple lived with, The Claremore Progress reported.
The man told authorities that they kept the boy in the cage for discipline and protection.
Lee padlocked the boy's room, according to The Progress.
The boy's condition was revealed by a social worker last October, TulsaWorld.com said.
An affidavit obtained by the news site claims Satterfield said the dog cage 'was a big mistake, and they went too far.'
District Attorney Reagan Reininger told Newson6, 'It's really shocking to have a child put in a dog cage the length of time he was in a dog cage for, and that's what people get shocked about.'
Satterfield's children are now in protective custody, the affiliate station said.

This story has been updated after new information from law enforcement indicated the length of the attack was seven minutes not 25. This article originally appeared on VICE Canada. Alek Minassian was charged with ten counts of first-degree murder and 13 counts of attempted murder Tuesday morning, one day after a rental van ran down pedestrians at a heavily populated Toronto intersection.
Here’s everything we know about the alleged mass murderer and what happened yesterday.
The attack took place on Monday just before 1:30 PM EST in North York. The first 911 call was dialed in at 1:27 PM. A rented Ryder van hopped a curb on Yonge Street just south of Finch Avenue and from there weaved on the sidewalks, into opposing lanes, before finally stopping just over 2 kilometers [1.2 miles] south of where the carnage began. The Globe and Mail reports that the attack took place over seven minutes and that one driver following the van said it was going over 70 kilometers an hour [43 MPH]. Ten people died and fifteen more were wounded in the incident.
At 1:52 PM police made an arrest in the attack. After a tense standoff, caught by a bystander on video, the suspect begged police to “kill me,” and claimed to have a gun. Alek Minassian, 25, of Richmond Hill, Ontario, was arrested and the arresting officer has been lauded as a hero. Minassian has been charged with ten counts of first-degree murder and 13 counts of attempted murder. He briefly appeared in court on Tuesday.
Police have not released any indication on what Minassian’s motive (if any) was, and Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale stated that the attack had “no known connection to national security.” The closest we have to any indication of a motive comes in the form of a Facebook post that appeared to be written shortly before the attack which links Minassian to the online community known as “incels” and heaps praise on mass murderer Elliot Rodger. The post states that the “Incel Rebellion has already begun” and alludes to “Chads” and “Stacys” which is slang in many online corners, including the alt-right, for attractive non-socially awkward people.
His post read: “Private (Recruit) Minassian Infantry 00010, wishing to speak to Sgt. 4chan please. C23249161,” reads the post. “The Incel Rebellion has already begun! We will overthrow all the Chads and Stacys! All hail the Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger!”
Incel and Elliot Rodger
Elliot Rodger killed seven people (including himself) in Isla Vista, California, in 2014. Prior to committing mass murder, Rodger posted a YouTube video in which he placed blame for the attack on women who had rejected him. Rodger is treated as a hero in the incel community. The incel movement regards men who believe that the reason they can’t get laid is women and is incredibly misogynistic. In 2017, Reddit shut down the subreddit for incels for inciting violence.
Facebook has confirmed to VICE that the Facebook profile with the statement is authentic, but that does not necessarily mean that Minassian himself wrote the post. The incel community on 4Chan, Reddit, and other websites are actively attempting to put distance between themselves and Minassian.
In a press conference on Tuesday, a Toronto police spokesperson alluded to the message saying, “the accused is alleged to have posted a cryptic message on Facebook minutes before he started driving the rented van."
Awkward Tech Wiz
A LinkedIn profile that features the same picture as an account on Facebook that has been confirmed to VICE as authentic states that the man went to Seneca College from 2011 to this year. Seneca College is a public college located in North York, Ontario that has about 100,000 students. The Globe and Mail reports that one classmate of Minassian stated he graduated from the college’s computer studies program just a week ago. Online records show him active on school projects until the end of March.
Reports from the Globe and Mail indicate that during his time at Seneca College, Minassian was a wizard with technology but also was immensely socially awkward. The story reads that Minassian “barely spoke, barely functioned, and had difficulty controlling tics.” The story adds that he had no strong political or religious views and that one former classmate of his stated he didn’t even believe the man could rent and drive a vehicle and that they believe that the attack may have been the result of him panicking behind the wheel. Fellow students of Minassian stated that he was quite adept with graphical processing units—specialized computer chips that work to process images.
In a Facebook post, a man named Alexander Alexandrovitch says that he attended Thornlea Secondary School with Minassian. Thornlea is a public high school located in Thornhill, Ontario, which is part of York region and north of Toronto. He wrote that the alleged killer’s antisocial behavior was prominent in his youth as well.
“He was mentally unstable back then,” reads Alenndrovitch’s post. “He was known to meow like a cat and try to bite people, this is one sad and confusing story. Alek Minassian was never intentionally violent but today's act was deliberate.”
Involvement in Military
Minassian had a brief stint in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) last year, VICE News learned. He joined on August 23. According to a statement from Canada’s Department of National Defence, though, Minassian asked to leave 16 days into 13-week basic training.
“He did not complete his recruit training and requested to be voluntarily released from the CAF after 16 days of recruit training. For privacy reasons, we will not comment further on Alek Minassian’s service in the CAF,” National Defence spokesperson Jessica Lamirande told VICE News in an email on Tuesday.
That training, albeit cut short, took place Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec in September.
He was released from service on October 25.
A senior Canadian Forces official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to CBC News said of Minassian and the attack: "He wasn't adapting to the military lifestyle… There were no red flags and nothing that would point to anything like this."
Minassian received no weapons training during his time in the forces, according to the official who spoke to CBC News.
The numbers that Minassian included in a Facebook post shortly before the attack may be military-related, however. The number “00010” is the trade number for the Canadian infantry, and "C23249161" seems to be a legitimate service number. However, the Department of National Defence said it will not confirm military ID numbers since these are protected under the Privacy Act.
Minassian, at least at one point, was an app developer. He made a free Google Play app called “Toronto Green Parking Advisor,” which was meant to help people find and price parking spots in the city. The Toronto Green Parking Advisor app was last updated in 2014.
The description of his app reads: “Download the setup package of Toronto Green Parking Advisor 1.0 that is completely free of charge and have a look at users’ reviews on Droid Informer. The app can be launched flawlessly on Android 4.1 and higher. This download is totally safe. Alek Minassian designed this application that lies within the Travel & Local category.”
Other Online Presences
A LinkedIn account exists for Minassian. It lists him as attending Seneca College from 2011 to 2018 and includes the headshot of him that has been widely circulated in the media since the attack. The profile says Minassian lives in Richmond Hill, Ontario, which is located in the Greater Toronto Area.
No Instagram nor Twitter accounts for Minassian have surfaced as of yet.
He did have a Steam gaming account that has not been active since 2010. Minassian would have been under 18 the last time the account was updated. The bio of that account, “Xboxlightside,” reads in part:
“I love the Halo games. My favorite game is Halo 3 because it has matchmaking. My next favorite is ODST because firefight is awesome! Halo Wars has matchmaking but I'm better at FPSs than RTSs. Halo 2 is a nice game even though Xbox Live Original has been discontinued. Good thing I downloaded all the maps! I also like Halo: CE because it is an EPIC classic. I also can't wait for the release of Halo: Reach on September 14!”

ARTS & CRAFTS STYLE
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the Arts & Crafts movement spread through art, jewelry, pottery, furniture and, of course, architecture.
Some say it was a reaction to the extensively decorative Victorian era. Arts & Crafts promoted — in all its guises — originality, simplicity of form, local natural materials and traditional handicraft. Arts & Crafts style houses are often large and rambling with distinctive, unique floor plans.
Looking around the open floor plan of an Arts & Crafts interior, details abound. Handcrafted wood, glass and metalwork, exposed roof rafters or beamed ceilings, built-in cabinets, shelves and seating met the eye at every turn. Outside, you would see multiple steeply pitched and gabled roofs that shelter porches with thick, square or round stone columns and stone chimneys.
“My wife and I sought Jeff out to build our house based on the recommendation of others. The experience we had with he and his staff was flawless. The quality of the work delivered was excellent. Jeff’s integrity through his interactions with us was stellar. We now have the privilege of highly recommending Jeff and Brio to others.”

I do not normally write race recaps for throwaway races like this. I like having a race or two I can run just for fun. I am still at a point where most of my time and attention spent on running is spent on obtaining PR’s but I find it refreshing to lace up, head to a small local race with no expectations, and just see what I can do. The Towpath 10-10 fits the bill. Held every Father’s Day, the 10-10 offers racers the option of running a 10 mile or 10k distance. My spring race is done by Father’s Day and I am usually not at the start of my cycle for fall. Running the 10-10 allows me to just enjoy the pure act of racing.
And so last Sunday I lined up at 7:00 am with my fellow 10-milers. For the first time I can remember, the sun wasn’t scorching us, the clear skies replaced by a fog that settled over the Cuyahoga Valley, the 80 degree temperatures common to this race replaced by a cool but humid 64 degrees. Ideal racing weather, or as ideal as you can get in mid-June. I was not sure what sort of pace I could expect to sustain. I have been running steadily around 35-40 miles a week for a month, but I am three months removed from any speed or tempo work. My lone goal was to find a rhythm I could settle into, one that felt challenging but manageable until the final miles when I would empty the tank.
My initial pace felt hard on the legs but easy on the lungs, somewhere around a 6:45. This was the pace I sustained last year, but I had been in much better shape then. I was unconcerned about my legs; they often take a mile or two to settle in and feel comfortable in a race. What was concerning me was the dialogue going on inside my head. I have finished top-3 overall in a race exactly once in the 8+ years I have been running. It was this race last year when the residual fitness I had kept from my Cleveland Marathon BQ somehow put me near the front of the pack. The heat was brutal last year and I overplayed my hand inching my way into second place. It caught me in the last two miles but I somehow hung on to third place. Well, a year later my head was asking if I could do it again. Two miles in and I was running through different scenarios, wondering if I could pick up the pace, wondering how many runners were in front of me, remembering this stretch where I ran myself into the position to challenge for that top-3 finish. My focus was everywhere but where it needed to be, on the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other.
Last week I wrote about the parts of the process I am looking forward to as I train for the Columbus Marathon. I made my case for the idea that the process is far more important than the result. Mid-race, in an event that was simply supposed to be fun, I was far too worried about a result, one that was frankly out of my reach. I don’t have the volume to run truly hard through ten miles. I don’t have the speed training under my belt to tap into my highest gears. I needed to simply settle into a pace and enjoy it. I also needed to take the time to practice a skill that I hope will serve me well when I’m running my marathon this fall, that of working my early miles to put me in a position to attack the final 10k and challenge for the sub-3 marathon time I crave. Getting to this position goes beyond running through 20 miles at a specific time. It requires me to run smart, saving as much energy as I can, even while maintaining a fast pace, so I can attack at the end. It means I have to run relaxed, letting go of worries about what could happen if I don’t do X, Y, or Z. Two miles into a race I knew I could not possibly challenge for a top spot in, I was squandering the important opportunity to use it as practice for races down the road.
I returned to basics. I checked my breathing. Relaxed and controlled. The legs? Getting into a rhythm. My upper body? Upright but loose. I was simply running again. My plan from the start had been to run easy through the first four miles and then check how I felt. I did. Could I pick up the pace at all? No, it was not time for that. Two bridges remained at Mile 9 and I preferred to save whatever energy I could for that final stretch. I tracked a runner who was cruising about 50 feet ahead of me. I tried to reel her in but could not. I did not have the training volume to kick. The lack of heat made the going much easier that in years past and my pace remained consistent, somewhere between 6:50 and 6:55. When I hit the two short bridges, in the ninth mile, I was rewarded for my decision to hold off on picking up my pace five miles prior. While I did not have the energy to attack them, they did not kill my momentum as they have in year’s past when the heat and sun combined to finish me off. I crossed the finish line, not far off last year’s pace, winning my age group. Even better, I woke up the day after without stiffness or soreness. I felt ready to train. Columbus was waiting for me, 18 weeks away.

This applies also to the kind of people you surround yourself with. They are constantly coming up with opinions, suggestions, humor and point of views that you are subjected to daily.
Lack of access to clean and affordable energy is one of the many challenges that hinder economic development for most developing countries and her people.
There are more than 1.4 billion people without access to electricity in the world. The fact that you can read this, means you are most likely not among that number.
You may have heard it many times but it doesn’t hurt to hear it again. Everything you see that is amazing didn’t start out that way. Every person you celebrate, every amazing and phenomenal thing around you, and events you wish you had, you wish you own, was not always that way.
They all had points of obscurity, points where it wasn’t clear if this is what they should be doing or if it was going to be phenomenal at the end of it but they started regardless.
Ever had the feeling where everyone else thinks you are a genius but you? Or that you are so good at what you, you do not believe you did it and you keep believing some day you would be found out by people.
Oh yeah, you are probably dealing with the imposter or fraud personality syndrome.
On the 7th of April, 2017, the state of New York, USA announced that it would be launching free education programs in their state colleges for people from families that earn less than $125,000 annually.
This is a great news considering the cost of education in the state is outrageously high for the low-income earners and for youths who have to depend on income from menial jobs to be able to feed and perhaps pay rent.
The thin line between success and failure is strategy.
If you decide to build a house today, in other to avoid collapse,
you have to think critically about the foundation.
Think about it in terms of structure and more importantly quality of materials.
I can say this because of my experience with aesthetics.
I know I might not be perfect, yet I pay for my wrongs even beyond that I might have committed, because you crucify me but no matter what it won’t be more than Christ’s.
You are not perfect, heck, no one is.
I’m wrong in my judgement sometimes, I faulter and fail other times. But guess what? laws were created by man, and it is man that breaks them.
I say then to me, whether it is good or bad that is said about me, whether I be condemned, slandered or brought down, they are all working for my good. To build me up in resilience, perseverance and to strengthen my resolve. They are all there to craft out my story of success.
I say this to me, this is all happening for a reason.

The real power of placebos
Science suggests that the placebo effect, in which a person derives a physical benefit from a fake treatment, can have real health benefits for managing pain. It may even work if people are aware that the treatment is a sham. The ritual of receiving treatment is essential for the placebo effect to work, and it’s possible for people to tap into its benefits by adopting healthy habits that require rituals and procedures like healthy eating, exercise, and meditation.
Breakthrough in brain stimulation offers cautious hope for depression
Transcranial magnetic stimulation helps some people with treatment-resistant depression, but the process takes multiple weeks and gets results in only about a third of those who try it. A new approach to delivering this therapy showed promise in a small study.
New thinking on glaucoma treatment
Some people with newly diagnosed mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma have another option for first-line treatment. Instead of using prescription eye drops initially, they can have a laser procedure called selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT). SLT uses light pulses to help clean up debris clogging the eye’s natural drains. Clogged drains lead to elevated eye pressure that damages the optic nerve. SLT's effects wane after three to five years, at which point it may be necessary to have the procedure again, or to begin using eye drops to treat glaucoma.
Prostate cancer: Radiation therapy elevates risk for future cancers
A standard treatment for localized prostate cancer is radiation, but there is a risk that it can lead to secondary cancers forming in the body later. Now, a large study of men treated with current radiation delivery methods clarifies that the amount of risk is low, but real.
Ketamine for treatment-resistant depression: When and where is it safe?
Ketamine has been used for decades as an anesthetic, and in 2019 an inhaled version of it was approved by the FDA for treatment-resistant depression. But it is generally prescribed only when other treatments have not been effective.
When walking is the best medicine
Supervised exercise therapy (SET) for peripheral artery disease (PAD) requires pushing through pain while walking to improve blood flow through narrowed blood vessels in the legs. SET can work as effectively as surgical procedures to improve the calf pain and cramping of PAD. SET is a treadmill-based program overseen by clinicians at a health care facility. Home-based SET can work comparably at improving symptoms, but only if PAD patients walk at a faster pace and continue the regimen long-term.

Objectives: To Evaluate the relationship between Knowledge and Drug adherence in hypertensive patients in UAE.
Methodology: A questionnaire was delivered to random sample of 385 hypertensive patients in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman. SPSS version 20 was used for data entry and analysis.
Results: Out of the 385 patients, 353 (91.7%) had high knowledge value and scored within the high knowledge category while 32 (8.3%) was considered as having poor knowledge and scored within the poor knowledge category. On the other hand, 325 (84.4%) of the study participants showed good adherence to medication and scored within the positive attitude category while only 60 (15.6%) showed poor adherence to medication and scored within the negative attitude category. Spearman rank order correlation coefficient (rho) between total knowledge score and total adherence score was used to indicate the association between knowledge and adherence among the study participants.
Conclusion: The result of the study clearly showed that there was positive correlation between knowledge and drug adherence among hypertensive patients in UAE. Despite this finding, it is believed that medication adherence is a multi-factorial phenomenon and knowledge is only one key of these factors.

Channel the artist's flat in your next living room design. Base your wooden floors. walls and ceiling in grey. with wooden-framed windows and an abstract letting the light in. Use three pendant lights as a centrepiece. warming it up with a vintage Turkish rug and slouching grey sofas. A standing guitar is an easy way to add more character.Like grey. but not the artist's look? Structure your room with a large L-sofa in grey. a simple abstract and clean. matching walls and floors.
Grey and gold wallpaper. a partly-living wall and a pea green armchair bring the antique to modern day.Grey can make double-height living rooms majestic. A dangling cluster of pendant lights make the most of high ceilings. amongst charcoal curtains and a many-tiled wall. A stacked stone fireplace and fluffy mushroom rug make the space warmer.Pair grey with yellow for a personal touch.
Dot ferns across the room in clay pots and vases. mirroring them in a monochrome canvas. Polish off the look with two cage chandeliers above Florentine-style cushions.Think rustic style can't support Asian fusion? Think again. Create your own Eastern haven with a painted clay feature wall and golden frame of an idol. Make cubbies in a wooden bookcase. covering your floor in zigzagging wooden patterns. Provide Orientalism in red velvet couches.
flick a rug in paint splatters and create your own itinerary in a monochrome board to the side.Make wooden patterns. Structure wood into slivered bands on your wall. cross-hatches on your floor and wide planks on your main stage. Inject French flavour with charcoal wall panelling and radiators. adding structure with sofas in a bright white hue. Create warmth with a distressed fireplace and candelabra chandelier competing for a flame. and handwoven accent chairs to keep guests guessing.

Stoke face the Lions this weekend and are desperate to notch up their first victory in 2006 against a Millwall side helping Crewe and Brighton prop up the foot of the Championship
'We are in the mire, but we certainly aren't throwing the towel in, not at this club'.
Let's hope they sink a bit deeper tomorrow.
Sam Bangoura looks set to miss the game as he recovers from an operation on his broken hand last Thursday, but Paul Gallagher looks set to replace him in his first game since January. It is expected that he will partner Mamade Sidibe up front while Johan Boskamp has a selection dilemma in midfield with Darel Russell available after his three match suspension and Junior having impressed in Sunday's FA Cup tie with Birmingham.
The winger is keen to impress against his old club. So much so that the Manager has warned him not to try to do too much. He told him 'your name is Sweeney, not Ronaldinho', reports The Sentinel.
It is looking likely that former Potter, Carl Asaba, is set to return from a two month absence through injury to play against his old club.
Defender Paul Robinson is also due to play after being suspended. But midfield player, Jody Morris, is still out with a fractured cheekbone, winger Josh Simpson and striker Barry Hayles are also left behind with knee injuries.
Millwall's top goalscorer. If we can keep him under control we should be ok.
Stoke won the game earlier in the season 1-0 at the New Den with a goal from John Halls.
Stoke have won the last three games, with them all ending 1-0
I'd be very happy with another 1-0 win.
Saturday 4th March: Norwich (AWAY) Kickoff: 3pm

To the Editor:
Recently ABC-TV News extensively reported how America’s foster care children were 13 times more likely to be prescribed psychiatric drugs than other children, concluding its own year-long investigation and coinciding with a new federal government report on the subject.
Anchorwoman Diane Sawyer was shown interviewing several very young children who’d been taking up to a dozen pyschiatric drugs at once over several years’ time (also prescribed to infants).
Sawyer pointed to an “unholy convergence” of doctors, Medicaid and pharmaceutical companies as the culprits and indicated that pertinent federal agencies she’d contacted all denied having oversight authority/responsibility in this.
Alarmingly, these children’s “torture scenario” is the rule rather than the exception when it comes to other vulnerable and/or institutionalized Americans whose care and treatment is paid through government, like Medicaid and Medicare.
For instance, nursing home residents are commonly falsely diagnosed as schizophrenic and similarly prescribed innumerable powerful psychiatric drugs.
Likewise, people with mental health problems are routinely harmfully over-prescribed psychiatric drugs, often forced upon them through “sham court hearings.”
Veterans are also subject to reckless over-prescription of psychiatric drugs.
Other exploited populations include residents of group homes and psychiatric treatment facilities and people under legal guardianship. — Donna Christianson, Little Falls


Despite a volatile year for offshore wind development in 2023 a record number of offshore wind development zones will be allocated globally in 2024 -2025, driven by national clean energy development targets.
But, in order to realize project timelines, developers and their investor partners increasingly need a fast and reliable means of screening early-stage projects to ensure optimal decision-making in the deployment of capital.
By offering a solution that enables developers to rapidly assess project location, wind resource, project layout – including wake losses - and the best installation sequence, Youwind's technology provides the offshore wind industry with a route to reducing the overall time taken for project site screening by up to 80% - significantly accelerating the project development cycle.
To date, Youwind has been used to analyze over 1000 offshore wind project sites, screening development zones amounting to more than 250TW of potential installed capacity, worldwide.
"2023 was a tumultuous year for global offshore wind, but with Government targets for Net Zero requiring significantly increased volumes of offshore wind generating capacity to become operational between 2030 – 2050, auctions held in the next two years are critical to the next 20 years of development," said Anna Rivera, Chief Executive Officer, Youwind.
"With the possibility that some of these projects will run into permitting and financing challenges later in the development cycle, there is a real imperative to ensure that sites are screened not only as efficiently as possible at this stage, but also at a level that ensures critical future development questions are covered as early as possible."
Developer, Copenhagen Energy, has adopted Youwind to support its screening of offshore wind project sites worldwide.
Speaking on its deployment of the technology, Jasmin Bejdic, Founder & CEO, Copenhagen Energy, said, "Our strategy is to be an early mover in new high potential markets – developing large-scale offshore wind on a global scale. A fundamental part of this is to be able to act fast, make intelligent site selection and screening decisions and then accelerate the development phases to deliver maximum value to local communities and our stakeholders. Youwind is a solution that is fully aligned with our objectives."
Youwind, built by engineers with over 15 years of first-hand experience in developing offshore wind projects, integrates engineering and cost data to efficiently model key technical and financial indicators and assess the viability of projects. The entirely web-based solution offers distinct tools to analyse and optimise each proposed project design, helping to inform the financing and development of projects that meet the financial expectations of investors.
These tools are backed up by a project development database, encompassing everything from wind resource and power curves, through to GIS layers, locational data on neighbouring projects, and all offshore wind equipment and components. As offshore wind projects continue to scale in size, technology, and global territory, Youwind offers a trusted single solution for taking projects rapidly to final investment decision.

"I was very well treated by all ..."
About: Thornbury Hospital (Bristol) Thornbury Hospital (Bristol) Bristol BS35 1DN
Posted by J********e (as ),
What I liked
I was very well treated by all of the staff who looked after me on my recent visit to the Outpatients Department for a respiratory problem. They were very kind, courteous and helpful. The atmosphere made me feel very relaxed, and I felt that my problem was attended to both efficiently and professionally. After previous experiences with other hospitals in the Bristol area, my visit came as a breath of fresh air. My appointment proceeded on time, and I was not kept waiting unduly at any point during my visit. This hospital should be used as a model to show how patients ought be looked after.
What could be improved
I cannot think of anything that needed to be improved.
Please ensure that the staff in the Outpatients Department who looked after me are made aware of my comments.

Just to give you some tid bits of what this article is about.
Donald Vance, a 29-year-old veteran and an American citizen, the desire to play a small part in a big event would lead to the scariest experience of his life. While in Iraq, he was neither a victim of a roadside bomb nor taken prisoner by insurgents. Instead, he was held captive by the U.S. government — detained in a secret military prison.Now that I have wet your taste buds go read the whole thing!
A military panel, which reviews charges against detainees, eventually questioned Vance and Ertel. Both men were given a document that said, "You do not have the right to legal counsel." The men say they could not see all the evidence used against them and did not have the legal protections typically afforded Americans.
Donald Vance and Nathan Ertel have now filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government and Donald Rumsfeld, who was secretary of defense when they were detained. It is generally very difficult to sue the government, but experts say this case may be different because Vance and Ertel are American citizens; they were civilians held by the U.S. military; and they were detained for such a long time.


Howdy, folks. This is the late April 2018 bopping fortnight’s selection, and I hope you will agree with me : every tune here bops lively…
The first three songs are all by a singer, WIBBY LEE, originating maybe from Ohio, maybe from Tennessee, who cut them as late as 1965-66, in Bluesy rockabilly style largely fashioned late ’50s, and all for the Dayton, OH Jalyn label.
Two strong playing guitars for « I’m Lost Without Your Love » on Jalyn 214A. Second guitar is done by Paul Allan. The B-side « Please don’t run me off » has Wibby Lee solo for a more folkish approach.
Second offering is real tour-de-force, « I’m Talking Not Walking The Blues » is Rockabilly Blues style. Great guitar and drums. Rhythm given by a banjo. The flipside « Might As Well Be No Moon At All » is unheard (untraced). Price for this item : $ 200-300 when it comes for sale (Lncoln & Blackburn book). Curiously valued by Barry K. John at only $ 25 or 30.
Finally the very fast « Inflation Blues » from 1976 or 78. Its frame is built on a banjo, which battles with a guitar : who will be the speediest ? Jalyn 1001. The disc had first been published by a Kingsport, TN Bonus label # 101.
Next artist, HARRY CHOATES, was the Cajun fiddler extraordinaire. He was the first to cut « Jole Blon », a Cajun national anthem, and had numerous records – many posthumously issued – on Gold Star, D, DeLuxe, Cajun classics, Modern, Hummingbird. Here I chose a lesser known track, « Honky-tonky Boogie » first issued on Starday 224 (1956) : a guitar (Larry Nolen?), a great shuffling fiddle, plus bass, and to sum it up, French lyrics : « Tu m’as quitté, pour t’en aller – mais ça sera pas pour longtemps », interspersed with yells (« Hey ! Ha-ha ! ») and encouragements from Choates.
PAL BRADY (full name Palford) was a Detroiter, who had already cut for Clix (it is unknown to me if the tunes on # 145 « L-o-v-e » and « When you’re gone » had already been cut by the Cincinnati’s Lucky label # 0013 – they do sound identical). Nevertheless we find him in good form for « More Lovin’ » on the Michigan Conteste label (# 45-2), in a similar style to his Clix/Lucky sides : a medium honky tonk, with guitar, bass, steel (solo) and drums. Brady was born 1926 and died 1988. He had records on small labels as Barney 1005 (“Troubles again“), Bragg (« Trading Stamps »), Carl and the larger King label.
Rocky Harper, “Show Me Love”
An hybrid Western swing/Bopper with Rocky Harper and “Show Me Love” from N.J. on the Wagon label # 1001..
The last three tracks are all by ANN JONES, singer and rhythm guitar player, who led an all-girl combo, the Western Sweethearts. « Baby Sitter’s Blues » the oldest song of the three, was issued by Capitol (# 57-40227) in September 1949. As shown on the label, « Vocal with Western Band ». The girls do a good job on this, a fast sympathetic and fluent backing, a sweet voice over a boogie guitar solo.
“Baby Sitter’s Blues”
Next two songs are to be found on King Records. The famous « Knockin’ Blues » (# 972) (March 1951) has an harsh voice, and is a so-called Hillbilly Blues, with stops-and-starts. Fine backing : piano, steel and fiddle. Finally « Monkey Business » (# 1137) from December 1952 is a fast ditty, with very good guitar and fiddle (solo).
Sources : YouTube for many a tune ; Google for some photographs (e.g. Pal Brady’s tombstone) ; 45-cat and 78-worlds for label scans.

ORLANDO, Fla. – The college football season starts in Central Florida when No. 8 University of Florida plays against the University of Miami at Orlando’s Camping World Stadium at 7 p.m. Aug. 24.
ESPN's "College GameDay," the station's college football pregame show, will be taped live at Disney's Magic Kingdom.
Disney first announced signs would not be allowed at Magic Kingdom during the show, but ESPN said this is no longer the case.
ESPN announced Thursday signs will be permitted during the broadcast.
"College GameDay" will take place from 9 a.m. to noon at the elevated train station on Main Street, USA.
After the show the signs have to be recycled in Magic Kingdom or returned to your car or room, according to ESPN.
The television station said signs must be handheld. This means no poles, sticks or extensions.
ESPN said signs may not contain commercial, derogatory, vulgar or political content.
Dry-erase boards will not be allowed, according to ESPN.
Signs may not exceed 3 feet by 5 feet in size, according to the television station.
Any fan with a sign will not be able to board the Epcot and Resort Monorail.
The signs will be screened at the transportation and ticket center or at the Magic Kingdom bus loop.
Theme park admission is required to get into to the viewing area of "College GameDay."
The last time the two teams played against each other was in 2013.
The University of Miami won the game 21-16.
