[[[ΣΕ ΣΎΝΔΕΣΗ>>]]'] Φενέρμπαχτσε εναντίον ΚΑΕ Παναθηναϊκός μετάδοση Žalgiris εναντίον Ολυμπιακός μετάδοση 24 Νοεμβρίου 2023 09/02/2024
πριν από 11 ώρες — Πολύ δύσκολα θα αγωνιστεί ο Κώστας Σλούκας στην αυριανή αναμέτρηση με την Φενέρμπαχτσε (9/2, 21:15), για την 26η αγωνιστική της Ευρωλίγκας.
Our job is nice. You are working with young people, athletes, in competition. Every game is different. Maybe that's why Roy and the other older managers do it. I am not going to retire next week or next year but I don't think I will still be a manager at that age. Meanwhile, City's French defender Aymeric Laporte is closing in on a comeback. Teddy Sheringham's beautiful lofted pass found Alan Shearer at the far post, he hit a volley across the goalmouth, and goalkeeper Andreas Kopke stretched out a glove. Gascoigne, anticipating a touch, waited a split second before sliding in and missed an all-but-certain winner by inches. A man possessed' La Manga, May 1998Glenn Hoddle was the new England manager after Euro 96 and initially at least Gascoigne remained involved.

The visitors have outperformed their hosts so far this season and many of their recent matches have produced under 2.5 goals. Cheltenham might not score many on the road but they don’t concede many either, which is why we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0.

I didn't want them to see me in that state or feel sorry for me. I wanted them to see me on the other side. At the same time, I needed people around me.

The problem for the side from the German capital is that they continue to give too much away in the defensive third. Saturday's defeat marked six games without a clean sheet. They've shipped at least twice in four of those six and have conceded a worrying total of 11. At times, they've been a little unlucky, but they've also shipped expected goals figures of 1.63 and 2.41 during that time, so it's fair to say that they need to do a better job of nullifying an opposition threat. El Porvenir will play against San Martin de Burzaco in the Primera C Metro of Argentine football. El porvenir are sitting on 17th spot with 5 points. They have played 7 matches in this season and they have not won any home matches in their last 12 home matches. They are one of the worst he teams. Posted at 81' Corner, Oxford United.

It was during an early counter-attack that they caused Wolves problems when Pukki's close-range effort produced a good save from Patricio. And with the wind in their sails they pressed Wolves back again as McLean tested the agility of the Portuguese keeper with a firm long-range effort. But then the visitors reminded us all why they have the second worst defence in the league - they allowed both Doherty and Jota to turn for the first goal, then three defenders went AWOL as Jota was left alone to tuck in the second. Both teams scored in four of RKC’s and five of Heerenveen’s last six matches and the visitors have drawn 40% of their league games this season, which only adds weight to our prediction for a 2-2 draw this weekend. Both teams scored in 60% of RKC’s and 67% of Heerenveen’s games so far this season and we’re expecting more of the same on Sunday. The hosts are a third-tier side, one who aren’t doing all that much this season. With some mixed results behind them, there’s little faith that they can pull off an incredible upset and take out the top side in Holland. Not only did Spurs offer little in defeat against The Saints, but they also lost their captain and chief goal-getter Harry Kane to injury. In addition, key midfield player Tanguy Ndombele was also forced off injured. It's fair to say that 2020 didn't start as well as manager Jose Mourinho would've hoped.

In my opinion, the visitors have a real chance to get all three points. Yeah, Sheffield Wed. is not very good team in the last matches. However, the visitors have better team than their opponent. In any case, they will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. Also, we have Barnsley who's is one of the main outsiders in this campaign. Hosts have less potential. They have a very vulnerable defense. So, the hosts are in poor shape. They have three consecutive losses. My pick - Sheffield Wednesday to win. Mentally when you are physically down you need to play more simple. It was the wrong performance and result. It's a bad moment. We need to refresh and come back in training and find the solution for the next game. We have done a good job until now and we must stay together. We were not dangerous. We need to play with more passion. Millwall were better physically, the mentality was more aggressive and they had better determination. It will not be light and easy match for Zrinjski in Mostar, since they are not among the top teams now and are playing under the championship level in this season. However, they are still closer to three points, but not with a lot of goals or goal chances in the match. εισιτηρια - Εισιτήρια πριν από 7 ώρες — ANT1 TV LIVE · ANT1NEWS VIDEOS · ΠΟΛΙΤΙΚΗ · ΟΙΚΟΝΟΜΙΑ · ΚΟΙΝΩΝΙΑ · ΚΟΣΜΟΣ ΕυρωλίγκαΦενέρμπαχτσεΚώστας ΣλούκαςΚΑΕ ΠαναθηναϊκόςΕΙΔΗΣΕΙΣΕΙΔΗΣΕΙΣ ...

It's a massive honour for me and my family," said the England forward, 28. Daly, who helped England reach the 2019 World Cup semi-finals and has 35 caps for her country, claimed three goals and two assists in the month-long competition. She has been with Houston for "a difficult five years", without reaching the NWSL play-offs. And despite losing two of their four pool games, Daly's side progressed through the knockout stages before upsetting Chicago, runners-up in the 2019 championship game. West Ham's lack of cutting edge on their travels has developed into a problem priority for Pellegrini, and ahead of their trip to Stamford Bridge, the Irons failed to register in three of their last four away assignments overall.

All things considered, we're more than happy to back Chivas Guadalajara to secure victory with maximum confidence and feel it provides good value at current prices. Chivas aren't finding goals hard to come by of late and they should be able to put a couple past a pretty weak Juarez team; with a 2-0 margin of home victory on the cards. One football federation official said “all options are on the table” for the meeting and another source said those options include one-legged ties for the remainder of the Champions League and Europa League games to halve the fixture load. The focus on completing domestic competitions reflects a concern that clubs throughout Europe will lose significant ticket and associated match-day revenue by not completing the season while still having to pay player salaries. Lying in 17th position in Ligue 1, hosts Dijon were facing an uphill struggle when Wesley Lautoa turned the ball into his own net in the first minute, but Mounir Chouiar got his side back on level terms 12 minutes later. League leaders PSG illustrated the gulf in class towards the end of the first half as Kylian Mbappe restored their advantage, and defender Thiago Silva struck a third five minutes into the second half. This excellent start to the campaign does leave them in a relatively comfortable position despite their recent troubles. Boavista lie 9th in the Primeira Liga table, seven points above the drop zone and six adrift of an unlikely top four spot. Rakitic's contract at Barcelona runs out in 2021, but he seems determined to see that out. I had a very strange first half of the season, it was very uncomfortable and surprising for me. But I hope I can finish this last year of my contract," he said. Either way, Rakitic’s spud-based analogy is perhaps not even the strangest in the canon. Two cracking examples from recent history spring to mind. In February, Jose Mourinho baffled a lot of us with this bizarre extended metaphor about staircases, in response to Son Heung-min getting injured. None of Davinson Sanchez, Aurier or Fernando Llorente improved the first team. In fact, Tottenham entered the following season a weaker proposition, and the season after that weaker again. Pochettino managed to stave off the stark descent the boardroom flailings should have set forth. However, the tail end of last season and the beginning of this season saw the team reap what the board had sown - they played and looked like a team on its last legs. Tottenham have appealed against the red card shown to Son Heung-min in the loss to Chelsea on Sunday, manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed. The South Korean was sent off in the second half of the 2-0 defeat after VAR ruled he had kicked out at Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger. Spurs are waiting to find out if Son will be available for the Boxing Day game with Brighton. I hope Son is not punished five times," Mourinho said. However, the Easter Road side has seen goals galore this season, with no games at home ending goalless. Hibs have scored an average of 1.71 goals in their home ties and are yet to fail to score. But the Edinburgh club has also received a lot, letting in an average of 1.43 goals and keeping a clean sheet in just 14% of home ties.

It's been known for a number of years that certain oncolytic viruses can target both bulk cancer cells as well as CSCs. Engineering in interleukin 12 in one of them produced a significant but modest improvement in survival http://www.pnas.org/content/110/29/12006.long Immune checkpoint inhibitor antibodies alone (either anti-PD-1 or anti-CTLA-4) produced only modest improvement in survival, similar to the virus, while the combination of virus with either antibody further extended survival. However, the triple combination cured ~90% of mice and protected them from re-challenge http://www.cell.com/cancer-cell/fulltext/S1535-6108(17)30298-2
Now a Phase I trial using the virus alone is ongoing https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02062827
critic, what I have been wondering about lately is what would happen if an oncolytic virus were packaged in chitosan? If there were a way to make the virus invisible to the immune system then you could have even better responses. With oncolytic viruses, the treatment can amplify inside the body. This is such a powerful feature of the. The problem is that the immune system is always trying to fight the virus. Getting the virus to the tumor without detection would seem a great strategy.
One company is working on this https://jitc.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40425-017-0277-7 https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02636036
Other routes that could be investigated further are locoregional (e.g., via the hepatic vein), intrapleural and inhalation https://www.spandidos-publications.com/ijo/31/5/1009 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8275514 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00109-010-0605-6
critic, I read through the triple combo mouse study. This is very impressive! It is quite remarkable that we have now reached an era in which curative responses might occur if patients simply used existing treatment options. For example, Tvec, anti-CTLA4 and anti-PD1 treatments are now already marketed! I am also interested in how additional products in the pipe might combine. For example, NKTR-214 certainly springs to mind. I will be so relieved when cancer is finally a distant memory.
critic, what do you think of the idea of metronomic dosing? Many on this forum are excited by this! It is a simple idea though it could be very powerful! Even something as simple as turning on a pump and doing 24/7 dosing with vitamin C could give very large results. The big concern would be that TLS could occur. Shutting off the energy supply of cancer for a prolonged time should lead to a profound energy crisis for the tumor but not normal cells.
hmm, I had wondered about the anti-body angle of oncolytic viruses. If anti-bodies engage the viruses then what is the point of continuing treatment? Recent research has found this line of thought not to be true.
The abstract for DNX-2401 plus Pembro (NCT02798406) has been published https://academic.oup.com/neuro-oncology/article-abstract/20/suppl_6/vi6/5153658 and the company are running another PhI (NCT03714334) in Spain testing DNX-2440 (this is 'armed' with OX40L).
It would be nice to see more investigator sponsored trials using this in certain indications. Personally, I think another trial in mPDAs should test gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel and the virus https://www.nature.com/articles/bjc2013415 https://translational-medicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12967-016-1037-z If that was safe and showed encouraging signs of activity, then they could move things forward by adding on PEGPH20 https://www.cell.com/cancer-cell/fulltext/S1535-6108(12)00039-6 Upon progression they could be then treated with Opdivo (+/- Yervoy).
I'd follow the Drs. Cameron and Pauling trials and then add on a liposomal version as well as powder https://www.isom.ca/article/vitamin-c-cancer-use-oral-vitamin-c/

If you're reading this magazine, you're probably already too advanced to
needthis book, though you still may find it an interesting read. It's designed for those who've never done any programming. It's definitely ideal for students.
That said, I was curious about it and I've been wanting to check it out since it was announced at XDC last spring.
It's really quite excellent. It goes at a modest pace—not so fast as to be a firehose of overwhelming information, but not so slow that a person would get bored. The examples for each lesson vary from a few simple lines of code to actual applications, such as a word processor or web browser.
I was impressed with the structure of the book. I've written a lot of introductory programming material myself and one thing I've found that's challenging is that every bit of knowledge is tied to another piece of knowledge. So if you're explaining variables and you show some code like
myString = "this text"you're suddenly explaining why quotation marks are used and that leads down a rabbit trail of data types and text to number conversions.
Brad does a great job of handling this problem. He's clearly carefully planned his examples to only require the knowledge he's provided so far, and only occasionally does he have to mention that a particular detail "will be explained later."
The book starts off with chapters on data types, loops, subroutines, arrays, events, and eventually delves into more complicated stuff like classes and object-oriented programming. Nothing gets too advanced—the book's
only360 pages—but there are chapters on pictures, network connections, databases, and even some tips and programming guidelines. For someone just getting started, it's a terrific introduction.
Note that while Xojo itself is used for the examples, the book is meant to teach general programming, not specifically Xojo. As such, it's of limited use to those of us already using Xojo, but if you have a child or friend who would like to learn programming (or is just curious), the book is definitely worth the download. And the free price is perfect!

An ancient Welsh tale is given new life in this magical picture book from the author of The Dark Is Rising series.
When young Huw plays his harp on the mountains above his father’s farm, he does not realize that the magic people of Wales, the Tylwyth Teg, are listening from within the Bearded Lake. But suddenly, among his father’s herd of black cattle, Huw finds a wonderful silver cow, sent up from the lake as a gift. It makes his father a rich man—until one day the farmer becomes greedy, and the Tylwyth Teg take their revenge. Written in the soft, musical rhythm of Welsh speech and enriched by Susan Cooper’s own imaginative gifts, this old tale takes on new life. Warwick Hutton’s marvelously evocative illustrations capture the beauty of the Welsh countryside, the crafty greed of the farmer, and the magic of the Tylwyth Teg. Readers will return to this timeless retelling of a Welsh folktale again and again.
Susan Cooper is one of our foremost fantasy authors; her classic five-book fantasy sequence The Dark Is Rising has sold millions of copies worldwide. Her books’ accolades include the Newbery Medal, a Newbery Honor, the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award, and five shortlists for the Carnegie Medal. She combines fantasy with history in Victory (a Washington Post Top Ten Books for Children pick), King of Shadows, Ghost Hawk, and her magical The Boggart and the Monster, second in a trilogy, which won the Scottish Arts Council’s Children’s Book Award. Susan Cooper lives on a saltmarsh island in Massachusetts, and you can visit her online at TheLostLand.com.
Warwick Hutton had a strong conviction that pictures for children should have depth and distance, space and mood. His own books—Noah and the Great Flood, The Sleeping Beauty, The Nose Tree, Jonah and the Great Fish, Beauty and the Beast, Moses in the Bulrushes, and The Cricket Warrior—demonstrate that conviction. He resided in Cambridge, England.

At the starting of this month, the Nubia Red Magic 6 series phone was spotted on the 3C certification site with model number NX669J and NX669J-P. In the latest development, it has been reported that both the models have been listed on the TENAA listing revealing the design and both the handsets. Here’s a closer look at the TENAA listing of the Red Magic 6 series gaming smartphones.
Nubia Red Magic 6 series TENAA Certification
The smartphones with model number NX669J and NX669J-P have been listed on TENAA listing hinting towards an imminent launch in the Chinese market. The certification site also revealed that the gaming smartphones will be launched as the Red Magic 6 and Red Magic 6 Pro monikers. It seems that both the handset are going to arrive with a slightly thicker chin and forehead.
Further, TENAA certification also suggests that both gaming smartphones look identical. We have also noticed that the smartphones also look similar to the Red Magic 6S, which was launched back in 2020. The smartphones seem to house a triple rear camera setup at the back panel on a vertical strip placed at the centre. At the same strip, you can also see the Red Magic branding on both smartphones. Towards the right side of the panel, you can see a ‘06’ number.
Going with the TENAA listing we didn’t find a big difference in designs of the smartphones from the ones that recently appeared in the leaked render. Previous renders suggest that the gaming handset will arrive with a horizontal camera setup along with an X-shaped plate along with the Tencent branding aligned at the centre.
The smartphones were also spotted on 3C certification with the same model numbers. The listing suggests that the NX669J might arrive with a 66W fast charging support and the NX669J-P could pack a 120W fast charging support.
According to the previous leaks and rumours, the Red Magic 6 series is expected to come with an OLED display along with a 165Hz refresh rate and a 480Hz touch sampling rate. Under the hood, the smartphone is said to be powered by the latest Snapdragon 888 chipset and fuelled with a 4,500mAh battery.

A “frequent repeat offender” was issued 14 tickets from the same Toronto speed camera in just one month, the City says.
The City said 54,204 tickets were issued by the devices in those two months.
There were 34,152 tickets issued in April, with the camera on Mill Road north of Burnhamthorpe Road in Etobicoke issuing the most at 5,545.

The City said there were 2,626 “repeat offenders,” with the most frequent offender having been issued 14 tickets from the location on Mill Road.
In May, 20,052 tickets were issued. The camera on Parkside Drive, south of Algonquin Avenue, issued the most at 2,845.
That month, there were 1,150 repeat offenders, with the most frequent being issued 11 tickets for speeding on Redgrave Drive west of Martin Grove Road, the City said.
The City noted that the number of tickets issued in May is lower because the cameras were moved to the new round of locations throughout May and June.
There are 50 ASE cameras in Toronto — two in each ward — and they are placed near schools in community safety zones.
The total fine from a speed camera ticket is determined by the Provincial Offences Act, and increases depending on how much above the limit the driver was travelling.
The tickets don’t result in demerit points and do not affect a person’s driving record.
For drivers caught travelling more than 50 km/h above the limit, a summons is issued to the registered vehicle owner to appear in court.
“The City of Toronto continues to deploy its full arsenal of Vision Zero measures, including speed cameras, to combat speeding and other dangerous and illegal driving behaviours,” Mayor John Tory said in the release.
“With more than 54,000 automated speed enforcement tickets issued in April and May, we are sending a clear message that speeding will not be tolerated in our city. Whether or not there is a speed camera or police officer doing traffic enforcement, I urge every driver in the city to follow the law – obey the posted speed limit and all rules of the road.”

How’s the weather been this year? Awful. ‘La nature m’écoeure’, one of my wine-growing friends posted on Facebook on 8 April, having been out to look at the frost-crippled shoots on his vines that morning: ‘Nature disgusts me’. It takes a lot to make a wine-grower feel that. He wasn’t alone. Jeremiads echo around the northern hemisphere as 2021 closes. It’s been the year of all the miseries.

Andrew Jefford: ‘The gifts of Bacchus hold our gaze like a procession’
Do growers make wine – or do markets? Growers, of course. Yet markets define the scope of the grower’s creative efforts by what they reward or sanction. When markets are neglectful and unresponsive, there’s little the grower can do but conform. It’s a problem the world over. Here’s an example. The river Moselle/Mosel rises to the wet west of the Vosges mountains, then curves in a long green arc heading north through Epinal, Metz and (along the left bank) Luxembourg’s Grand Duchy, turning east at ...

The Victorian Government is not doing enough to eradicate the threat of wild dogs in the Hume region, according to the chairman of the Cheshunt Wild Dog League.
Terry Ring, from Upper Ryan’s Creek, along with three other members from the group discussed the issue with state Nationals MPs Steph Ryan and Peter Walsh last week and have contacted Jaclyn Symes’ office to raise their concerns with both major parties in the area.
‘‘No, they are not doing enough at this point. There’s no other way of putting it,’’ Mr Ring said of the Victorian Government’s handling of the issue.
‘‘We went in to the meeting (with Ms Ryan and Mr Walsh) with our major concern being that the system as it currently stands is not working.
‘‘First you have got to understand that there are a series of wild dog zones. The Hume region consists of eight zones.
‘‘The reason the system is not working is there are eight zones with six permanent wild dog controllers working in those eight zones.
‘‘What we see as an absolute necessity is there needs to be one permanent wild dog controller in each zone and in bigger zones, like the Ovens, we are asking for two as it was approximately five years ago.’’
Mr Ring said plugging holes was not working.
‘‘If there is an issue in one of the zones without a wild dog controller, a wild dog controller is taken out of his zone to plug a hole and then he is not there if there are issues in his area,’’ he said.
‘‘We can’t fault what they are doing. They just can’t do the job they want to do.
‘‘This is where it is all falling down.’’
Mr Ring said issues had been constant on one particular farm, especially in the past 14 months.
‘‘On one particular property in the last 14 months there have been nine attacks on livestock where 15 have been killed and 18 maimed.
‘‘Over the last couple of years the problem has increased quite dramatically.
‘‘An example of that is on and within 2km to 3km of our property three dogs have been shot and 11 others trapped in the last three months.
‘‘It’s the worst I’ve seen in the 33 years here.’’
Mr Walsh said the discussions were beneficial.
‘‘Hearing from north-east farmers today has reinforced to me the need for increased control as well as input from affected landholders,’’ Mr Walsh said.

Looks like this place gets a lot of reviews from stag and hen dos which might make it seem like a certain kind house but i booked the house for our work Christmas party weekend and everyone was impressed by nearly all aspects of the house.
We used two of the chefs that Beatniks recommended to come in and cook for everyone in the house's amazing dining room. Both were brilliant and provided a stress free time.
House was clean and impressively well finished all round and everyone at Beatniks have been a please to deal with!
I booked Beatnik Central for a very special secret hen do for 28 hens - with a massive span of ages from 18 to 80. Without exception every guest said that they absolutely loved the house. The location, layout, comfort, convenience, cleanliness and value - all brilliant. I had no complaints at all; the opposite in fact!
Tamara was brilliant - from my initial enquiries to the return of my deposit she was incredibly helpful.
I would book this again in an instant.
We chose to stay here as a group when attending a scientific congress at the Brighton Conference Centre. The town house was absolutely perfect for us. We ate in every night and the enormous kitchen table was great to sit around a chat. The kitchen was very well equipped and there was plenty of space for all of us (a group of 14). The town house is in a great location, not only for the conference centre on the seafront, but also for a main high street with plenty of shops and coffee shops. Tamara from BEATNIK was extremely friendly and helpful. I would fully recommend this place!
We stayed here for one weekend, and were delighted, it seemed much bigger then the pictures showed. Tam was very friendly and let us in to the house which was nice and clean.
House was amazing, beautifully decorated with everything we could have needed and perfect central Brighton location. Tam was so helpful and arranged both of our activities which were amazing. Can't recommend highly enough. Thank you!!
Stayed here for my best friends hen do and I honestly couldn't recommend the place highly enough. The house was outstanding and Tam who was my direct contact was so helpful and friendly!
I booked BEATNIK CENTRAL through the website for my sisters hen do weekend this July 2017.
It was perfect in every way, Tamara was a great help and answered all my questions promptly and ensured we had the best weekend.
The townhouse is beautiful and stylish, everyone was so impressed when they walked, the beds were comfy,there were plenty of lovely big bathrooms to get ready in and a lovely jacuzzi to relax in too!
The Kitchen area is ideal with a big table so you can host dinner and games and everyone has somewhere to sit and relax.
The townhouse was so central that it was just a short walk to everything so you don't have to spend any money on taxis!
All in all it was the perfect venue and perfect service and my sister and all the guests had a weekend to remember and were sad to leave!
I would definitely go back and would recommend to anyone organising a hen do! Brilliant location and stunning house!

Four years ago today, on October 23rd, 2010, American swimmer Fran Crippen lost his life while swimming in an open water race in Dubai, UAE. This was one of the saddest days in the sport in recent memory, and every year, we here at Swimswam try to do a little something to remember him and help preserve the legacy that he left behind.
As I drove home from an early morning practice today on an otherwise nondescript Thursday morning, there was a fantastic sunrise. I wasn’t the only one who saw it – at nearby Rice University, practice paused for a moment so that the team could admire it as well, and coach Amanda Caldwell posted the above photo on her Instagram.
For those who haven’t been to Houston, the sunrises and sunsets here are matched by few places in the world. It’s mostly because of the pollution from the nearby petrochemical plants. The pollution, on a day-to-day basis, is not always fun to deal with, but it gives those of us up early enough to wish the sun ‘good morning’ a reason to smile.
Throughout the day, as the swimmers of the world realize that this is the day, the day that Fran Crippen died four years ago, their instinct will be sadness.
There are no written words, no matter how eloquent, that will tell people when it’s okay to stop mourning the loss of a loved one. It’s nobody’s right to tell Fran’s sisters, or his parents, when they’re no longer allowed to be sad about his death. There’s no structure for how long his family, former teammates, and people like myself who only knew him by reputation, can treat this day as a sad one.
But in a certain light, the feeling of the day melds into one that is a little bit like a Houston sunrise. We could do without the pollution, but every day, without fail, it gives us all a reason to smile. Early morning practices can be difficult, but the slumbering world misses the beauty of a sunrise that comes at the end of a tough workout.
And four years later, as I realized what today was, as no doubt many swimmers will also remember as the day wears on, my mind began to gravitate toward the beauty of this day, and for the first time in the five times where this day has held the significance that it does, I felt the need to smile at a thought.
Fran died will doing what he loved. By all accounts, Fran loved open water swimming as much as anyone has ever loved open water swimming, and he died doing it. There’s a certain poetic beauty in that, a beauty that while clouded with the tragedy of a genuine soul taken far too young, is beautiful none-the-less.
My hope is that this doesn’t trivialize the sorrow of his death; rather, my hope is that the smile adds to the complex legacy that Crippen has left. It’s a legacy that is still evolving, still growing, still having an impact all around swimming.
And so, while I cannot and will not tell anyone how to grieve, we ask you all to find a reason to smile on this day. Be angry that more hasn’t been done to prevent tragedies like Fran’s in open water; be sad that you lost a friend or a loved one or a role model; have as much of whatever emotions you want to feel; but in and among the storm, if a smile strikes you, don’t fight it. Go with it. Cry about the memory of Fran’s death, but smile for the memory of his life.
We should all be so lucky as to bring smiles to others four years after we’re gone, and that’s the model.

Every women will go thru 2 things in their life = menstruation + menopause.
And menopause can be as suffering as menstruation symptoms, how do we deal with this? Let me touch on the fundamentals first.
In our menstruation years, if we suffer alot of mood swings, poor blood flow, breast soreness etc, coupled with high stress or easily stress personality, then our menopause years will foresee issues.
As our body already suffers in our youth + prime days, it's impossible that our menopausal days be smooth sailing. This is the same rational as using poor ingredients to cook a dish, the eventual result will not be good too.
Hence, I'd implore fellow ladies in their prime now, to take very serious look into their stress levels, diet and life, to prepare ourselves for our menopausal years. We should do the following:
"Close 1 eye" syndrome
It's ok for certain things to happen, especially housework and kids.
Work is work
Don't be too emotional over work, just deliver our due diligence and leave the issues in office after work hours. There's only so much we can grip over.
Keep away raw, cold, frozen food. Keep away processed food and snacks as much as we can.
Can I mention Infinite Qigong®? :P
Exercise improves mood, Qi and blood flow if done correctly. :)
Many people bring their day stress to bed at night, work is never finished, and worries can never end. But don't let it affect your Beauty Sleep, it's the only time your body can repair itself.
It's as important as financial savings.
Now, what should I do with menopausal symptoms?
Menopausal symptoms are of the following, I'm sure most of you would have already read from various media = hot flushes, poor sleep, bad temper, headache, sweating, dry skin, poor memory etc.
To counter menopause issues, we must look carefully at 2 sites in our body = Spleen + Gastric, and, Kidney + Liver.
Menopause affects Kidneys most, but why the other organs too? That's because how our Qi and blood function relies on them too.
If we tries to take TCM herbs for menopause but increased Dampness for our Spleen and Gastric, we'll encounter another set of health issues = soft stools, poor digestion, poor mood etc.
Hence, in our strategy to counter menopause symptoms, we must have herbs all balanced out for Spleen + Gastric, and, Kidney + Liver. However, different people have varying differences in their body constitution, there isn't a once size fits all solution.
** That'd have been a perfect world....
Over here, I'd recommend ladies to make the following Manopause Soup for yourself, it may help alleviate your issues.
淮山 20gm，白术 20gm，牡丹皮 15gm，茯苓 15gm，党参 20gm，红枣 10gm，熟地 38gm，女贞子 10gm，枸杞子 10gm，芡实 20gm. Cook with pork ribs in the slow cooker overnight, eat as breakfast or in other meals the next day.
Please note that not everyone is suitable for this soup, as everyone is different. :)
If you'd like a tailored solution for your Menopause Tiger, come join our Infinite Qigong® class, you wouldn't regret the nice classmates and happy atmosphere, with bay windows and Zen decor.
来 lah. :P

Study Ranks Duval Schools Among Top Districts For Absent Teachers
Duval County is among nine districts in the nation where more than half of teachers are frequently absent throughout the school year.
That’s according to a study released Tuesday by the National Council on Teacher Quality.
The study looked at the attendance of over 234,000 teachers in the 2012-13 school year and found that about 16 percent chronically absent, which means they missed 18 days or more.
Researchers looked at 40 districts throughout the country. The findings did not not include teachers who took extended leave or other long-term absences due to illness or family issues.
Cleveland topped the list with the highest number of missed days on average, but Duval County wasn’t far behind.
The study shows that 67 percent of teachers in the district miss 11 days or more out of the 186-day school-year.
Here are a few other key findings:
- On average, teachers missed 11 days out of a 186-day school year for any reason, typically illness, illness of a family member, personal business or professional development. On average, these districts offered a leave package of 13 days, intended for illness or personal reasons.
- In spite of previous research to the contrary, no relationship was found between teacher absences and the poverty levels of the children in the school building. More affluent schools were just as likely to have high rates of absences as less affluent schools.
- Cleveland had the highest number of days missed on average (16 days), followed by Columbus, Ohio (15 days), Nashville, Portland, and Jacksonville (all 14 days).
- Indianapolis teachers had the lowest number of days missed of the 40 districts (6 days), followed by teachers working in the District of Columbia, Louisville (KY), Milwaukee, Tampa, New York and Philadelphia also had low average numbers of absences per teacher per year, all ranging from 7 to 9 days on average.

Terminators: Wordplays for Ideas & Insights
Methanol is wood alcohol. The word comes from the Greek 'methy' meaning wine
and 'hyle' meaning wood. Like methane and methylene, it has but one carbon.
But "wood wine" is not good wine: methanol causes blindness if consumed.
Methanol burns and is a fuel in some racing cars.


TV shows and movies often use brands and product placements. And more often then not, these placements end up giving huge sales boost to the product. That is exactly what happened to Cinnabon as well. This is because the brand featured in the famous prequel series to Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul.
However, what makes this Cinnabon sales boost really interesting is that it happened by accident! And it was not even from Better Call Saul. Jimmy McGill, aka Saul Goodman, ended up working at a Cinnabon in an Omaha mall just because of a single line from the final season of Breaking Bad.
How Jimmy McGill became a Cinnabon manager in Better Call Saul
The season finale of Breaking Bad is one of the finest endings any show has ever had. And it was especially troublesome for Saul Goodman. He hired the services of Ed the Vacuum Repairman to adopt a new identity and leave Albuquerque to save himself from the heat. And when Better Call Saul started, they got to see flashbacks of Jimmy as Gene Takovic, working in a Cinnabon at Omaha.
What’s really funny is that this idea sprang from a simple line Saul Goodman uttered in the episode “Granite State” of Breaking Bad. In it, he told Walter White:
“If I’m lucky, a month from now, best-case scenario, I’m managing a Cinnabon in Omaha.”
And that’s how Jimmy McGill’s fate was sealed. But, you know what’s funnier? The fact that initially, the showrunners only took that Cinnabon line as a joke. They never intended it to be Saul Goodman’s ultimate fate in Better Call Saul.
While talking to USA Today, the showrunner for both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Peter Gould revealed that the line was just a joke for him. But then, it was just too hard to resist for Gould to not make Cinnabon Jimmy’s permanent destiny. He said:
“I just wrote that scene and it sounded funny, but it never occurred to me in a million years that we’d actually show what we show at the beginning of episode 1 [of Better Call Saul]. Of course, you could always give yourself the out, like, ‘He’s just speculating; he could end up anywhere’. But there was something so darkly delightful and so much fun about actually seeing his words realized, that we found it hard to resist.”
What did Cinnabon think of being associated with the show?
At first, the Cinnabon executives were shocked by hearing their brand’s name on Better Call Saul. Company spokesperson Loryn Franco said:
“We were as shocked as everyone else.”
But later on, they wholeheartedly accepted the product placement. And why wouldn’t they? The name recognition they got from the show was enough to convince Cinnabon. They even created Better Call Saul themed boxes and ran a trend named #SaulSelfie to promote their affiliation.
Even the AMC executives were happy. As Executive Vice-President of marketing Linda Schupack said:
“What’s terrific is Cinnabon is this all-American brand, it’s known to everyone, and it fits with the Saul Goodman character.”
And sure enough, Bob Odenkirk, the actor who plays Jimmy McGill, worked at a Cinnabon as well. Though of course, not for a living. He spent time learning how to work as a Cinnabon employee. Breaking Bad showrunner Vince Gilligan recalled:
“I had an iced-coffee drink Bob made, and it was quite delicious. I think Bob has a second career awaiting him, managing a Cinnabon in real life.”
Better Call Saul has reached its final season. And in those flashbacks from the Cinnabon at Omaha, we might learn what Jimmy McGill’s ultimate fate really was.

Justice Muhammad Nasir-Yunusa of the Kano Division of the Federal High Court, has refuted media reports that he nullified the nomination of Dr Alex Otti and other candidates of the Labour Party, who participated in à2023 general elections in Abia State.
Earlier reports said the court, presided over by Justice Yunusa, had nullified the candidacy of the Abia State Governor-elect, Otti and other LP Candidates, who participated in the 2023 elections in Abia reads Kano States.
Justice Yunusa said Otti and other candidates in Abia were not parties before his court.
The judge clarified that the judgement he delivered on Thursday, May 28, 2023, nullified the election of Labour Party candidates for Kano that contested during the 2023 general election.
A plaintiff, Ibrahim Haruna Ibrahim, had filed a case with suit No FHC/KN/CS/107/2023, against the Labour Party and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), seeking a declaration that the party violated some provisions of the Electoral Act and, therefore, its candidates disqualified and cannot be declared winner of an election.
“The party that has not complied with the provisions of the electoral act cannot be said to have a candidate in an election and cannot be declared winner of an election; this being so, the votes credited to the 1st defendant is a wasted vote”, Justice Yunusa ruled.
“The court declared the primary election of LP in Kano as null and void”, he said.


Designing Your Plumbing System
How you plan and style your home will greatly affect the plumbing system. An effective plumbing system will start in a design that preserves energy and water resources. A good plumbing design will combine great plumbing fixtures and state of the art materials. The design must also include two systems like the water system and the drain system to remove waste. If you want to know about plumbing services, click here for more info.
Before you start planning your home’s plumbing, like the water and DWV systems, you need to abide by the local building codes to ensure it is design compliant. Plumbing codes will control the amounts of fixtures where supply lines and drains need to be placed inside the walls, on a drain system in a room, or on the vent stack. To know if your plumbing design meets the code, you need to check with the local building jurisdiction before you start designing your house. Click here for more info about plumbing codes.
Water supply is an important system where it needs to traverse in rooms that require plumbing. It also applies to the drainage-waste-vent system, that runs alongside the water supply system. To have a more efficient system and to save on materials, group the rooms that need plumbing closer together. For example, your kitchen and laundry room, or the bedrooms and bathrooms.
Contractors and Materials
Choose a contractor and material providers that offers a competitive price for their services. If you want the most of your plumbing design, choose materials that come in high quality as they are expected to last longer than low quality materials. Choose contractors with good recommendations. They can properly install the best plumbing design while saving costs on installation and repairs.
Water Supply, DWV and Hot Water
Your home must have the best water supply and DWV systems usually installed on walls. Keep these systems in mind when you design your home and plumbing system. If you want to save on water and energy costs, design a hot water plumbing system that will make the hot water flow back to the water heater. This will minimize the energy needed to heat the hot water. You can also use a tankless hot water units or solar hot water system. So, click here for more info on how it’s installed.

Very limited known area of occupancy (AOO) of 16 km2 and extent of occupancy (EOO) of 7.65 km2. Threatened by invasive species such as Mesobryanthemum. Climate change could affect the species through decreased fog regime and potentially sea level rise.
In 1996, N. ramosissima was separated from N. homalea (Ach.) Rundel & Bowler (Spjut 1996). Subsequently, it was lumped back into N. homalea (Bowler and Marsh 2004), but this broad interpretation has since been disputed. The species has morphological features and habitat differences that separates it from N. homalea (Knudsen & Wheeler 2015).
Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?
This species is a narrow endemic to San Nicolas Island, California, USA.
This species is a narrow endemic to San Nicolas Island, California. All observations are from the south-south east end of the island, but it could have a slightly wider distribution on the island.
Population and Trends
The species is common on San Nicolas Island, where it can dominate large patches of soil on the south-southeast end of the island. Currently, it appears to be stable.
Population Trend: Stable
Habitat and Ecology
Niebla ramosissima is a terricolous species growing on calcareous soil rich in gypsum. It is an asexual, clonal species spreading by fragmentation. Wind or erosion easily break off branches that then form a new individual. The south-southeastern part of the island where the lichen occurs is dominated by canyons. The vegetation consists mainly of low-growing sub-shrubs and herbs, but the majority of the ground cover consists of soil-crusts. San Nicolas has a semi-arid climate with Mediterranean characteristics. Although the island only receives around 200 mm precipitation a year, dense fog is a common phenomenon.
Mediterranean-type Shrubby Vegetation
Several invasive plants (e.g. Mesobryanthemum ssp.) have established on the island, and could pose a threat in the future. Climate change could affect the species through decreased fog regime and potentially through sea level rise.
The island is owned by the Navy and are not open to the general public. Some areas of the island, including areas where the species occurs, are off limit to most Navy personnel. The species is currently not officially protected. Federal protection would require the Navy to take protective actions.
The species would greatly benefit from removal of invasive plants such as Mesobryanthemum that tends to dominate areas where it establishes. This may prove to be extremely difficult because of the very rugged terrain on the island.

More accurate estimates of population size and trend would inform threat assessment.

Chic Repurposed Jewel Cross DIY
What woman doesn’t like a little glitter and bling?!? I know I do, and love to find ways to reuse & repurpose bits and pieces of vintage jewelry that are a little tattered and maybe missing a stone or two.
This cross tutorial is so easy, using relatively common items turned out to be an elegant addition to my office.
· Wooden Cross
· Brass Filigree
· White Paint
· Clear or White Glitter
· Broken Vintage Rhinestone Earring
· Scrapbooking jewel embellishments
· Rosary Chain
First thing is to pain the cross and brass filigree white. Once the cross is dry adorn with glitter, then attach the brass filigree. Let those dry. Now you can adorn with the vintage jewelry piece of your choice, I used a vintage AB Rhinestone Earring. Now you can adorn your little cross with little scrapbook jewel embellishments, I used clear and pearl. To hang the cross I used a bit of vintage pearl rosary chain that I used to carry in my shop.
As always, Happy Crafting!

The Dragon Prince is an epic fantasy series by the head writer and director of Avatar: the Last Airbender, and it’s coming soon to Netflix!
Netflix has announced a new animated series called The Dragon Prince. The series will be directed by Aaron Ehasz, a head writer and director on Avatar the Legend of Aang! As soon I heard this, I had to keep my eyes on it. The poster that the used looked pretty intriguing to say the least. The Dragon Prince, an epic fantasy series by the head writer and director of Avatar: the Last Airbender, is coming soon to Netflix! Learn more at our San Diego Comic-Con panel on 7/21/18 @ 11AM in room 25ABC.
In The Dragon Prince, two human princes befriend an elfin assassin and head off on a quest to bring peace to their nations. This already has that Avatar vibe to it and I’m for it. I’ve been wanting something similar to the adventures that Aang had on Nickelodeon. I can’t wait to learn more about this series.


text: The Portales, NM, processing plant that was at one time the largest producer of organic peanut butter in the U.S. was auctioned off last Thursday to Severn, NC-based Hampton Farms for $20.05 million. However, the Sunland Inc. plant will be auctioned off again today for at least $25 million, an amount offered to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for New Mexico from Canada’s Golden Boy Foods. The unusual turn of events occurred just before the bankruptcy court entered a final sale order on last Thursday’s offer when Golden Boy Foods wired a counteroffer of $25 million to a trust account. That becomes the new opening bid for today’s auction. In addition to Hampton, California’s Ready Roast Nut Company LLC had bid in last week’s auction . It’s left Bankruptcy Judge David T. Thuma with a tough decision to make. He said he was “loath to disturb the results of a judicial auction,” but, on behalf of the unsecured creditors of Sunland Inc., he did not want to lose the additional $4.95 million that Golden Boy Foods brought to the bankruptcy proceedings. Sunland filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy last October after peanut and nut butters it manufactured at the Portales plant in 2012 were found responsible for a 20-state outbreak of Salmonella. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suspended Sunland’s food plant registration for several weeks under the first use of a new government power found in the Food Safety Modernization Act. Hampton Farms, the nation’s largest peanut roaster, has said that it plans to re-open the Portales plant. Golden Boy makes peanut and nut butters from several locations in Canada, but has not said how it would use the Portales plant. Sunland once purchased much of the Valencia peanut crop grown along the Texas-New Mexico border for add-value processing. Many peanut growers in the area are waiting for the court’s decision on the sale as part of their decision on whether to plant a Valencia crop for the coming season. Soil temperatures are expected to be warm enough to plant peanuts in April.

Popular Nigerian pop musician Chris Mba, who was reportedly experiencing cardiac issues, has died.
The musician, who was from Abia State, passed away on Wednesday at LUTH, the Lagos University Teaching Hospital.
The musician passed away on Wednesday night due to a cardiac condition, according to a post by Premier Music’s general manager Michael Odiong, who confirmed his death on Thursday.
Recall that in 2019, writer Azuka Jebose revealed in a Facebook post that the musician had texted him in distress asking for urgent financial support to pay for his hospital treatment at LUTH.
He quoted him saying, “Jebose this is a serious health challenge for me. Please, my brother help me. We buy drugs and the hospital bed costs N50,000 daily.”
Chris Mba was famous in the 80s for his signature Jerry curl and hits like ‘Funky Situation’, ‘Love Everlasting’, ‘Baby Don’t Cry’ and ‘Making my way’.

Today's Taylor Swift song, the meaning of "Sparks Fly". I love this song. It reminds me of the love of my life, not the whole song, but the line "'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile." I love being around my love and the love just gets stronger and stronger. That is the beautiful things about Taylor Swift songs. Sometimes you relate to the whole song, sometimes just a little, but you can relate to almost all of them. Here she is a big celebrity and you can still relate to her songs. She writes in a way that speaks to everyone.
Who is this song about? There are a few hints. In the lyrics booklet the word PORTLAND OREGON is in capital letters. In the song she also mentions rain twice, "The way you move is like a full on rainstorm", and "Meet me in the pouring rain". It rains a lot in Portland. In the last part of the music video it is also raining. Taylor says about this song, "This is a song that I wrote a few years ago and had been working on it ever since in the last two years and just honing in on little lyrics and changing them, so it’s really been awesome to see it change over the years.”
She opened for Jake Owen in October 2006 in, drum roll please.....Portland, Oregon. Here is an exert from her myspace journal.
Tuesday, October 31, 2006
Happy Halloween Happy Halloween! I’m sitting at the airport in Portland, Oregon.. About to get on a red-eye flight (Oh yes, I just said red-eye. Meaning, all night. This should be interesting…) to Toronto, Canada for another weekend of Rascal Flatts shows. Tonight was awesome. It was a show in Portland at a bar called Duke’s, I opened up for Jake Owen. And a little back-story, I’ve had his album on repeat for the past couple of months.. It’s an amazing album and I literally cannot stop listening to it. I’ve got every line memorized, and if you see me on a plane.. Chances are, I’m listening to some song off that album, at a volume level that’s probably going to cause long-term hearing damage someday. ANYWAY. I got to walk in on his sound check and meet him. Turns out he’s extremely cool, and had bought my album on iTunes. And since I had to leave after one song of his set, he played my favorite song “8 Second Ride” first. Which is another reason why he’s awesome. And just to let everyone know, YES, I did dress up for Halloween. Yes, I stood onstage in an angel costume with huge wings (that really conflicted with my guitar playing). And I convinced my two guitar players Todd and Kevin to put on those little headbands with the devil ears attached. Haha. Oh yeah, it was great. It’s so awesome playing to a crowd and seeing some people who know the words to EVERY SONG! I love that the album is out, and I love that y’all are listening to it. You guys are so awesome, and I really appreciate all of your comments. I love you all so much. Thanks for everything.
It appears also that Jake Owen has green eyes,"Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down".
Who knows if anything happened, but she was 17 and he was 26 so anything was probably out of the question. It was probably just a crush and this is a song about her crush. Who hasn't had a crush on an older guy when you were in high school? Since she said before that she wrote the song a while ago it makes sense that it could be about him. My guess she has been able to relate other guys to this song (John Mayer) since she wrote it. Maybe some of the lines in the song have to do with him, "You're the kind of reckless, That should send me runnin' ".

Genre: Drama, Family
Directed by: Carla Simón
Starring: Laia Artigas, Paula Robles, Bruna Cusí, David Verdaguer
Spain has a rich history of movies made from the point of view of children. Cria Cuervos, El Sur, and The Spirit Of The Beehive have all invited us to see the world from a child’s perspective, as they come to terms with life, death and first love. Although she wasn’t yet born when any of those classics were released, writer-director Carla Simón’s debut feature fits comfortably within that tradition.
Based on Simón’s real-life experience, Summer 1993 follows six-year-old Frida (Laia Artigas), who goes to live with her aunt, uncle and younger cousin after the death of her parents. Though she is too young to grieve properly, Frida is shaken by the bereavement, and dealing with her behaviour proves a struggle for her new guardians. With a lot of love and a lot of patience, the new family unit pull together to help her through.
Often, watching Summer 1993 feels more like watching a home movie than a regular movie. Simón tells her story through what she calls ‘little moments’; vignettes of family life, like the two girls making up a dance routine, or playing in the woods that surround the family farm. These moments move languorously, mimicking the lazy heat of the Catalonian summer.As they build, you begin to see the wider picture. Marga (Bruna Cusí) and Esteve (David Verdaguer), Frida’s aunt and uncle, are kind people. They make every effort to welcome their niece into their home, to treat her with the love they treat their own daughter, Anna (Paula Robles). But it’s hard. Frida is a few years older than Anna, and the influence she has on her young cousin in enormous. The two go off on adventures, where Frida is always the boss, and they often result in Anna getting hurt. This puts an unavoidable strain on Marga and Esteve. However hard they try to remain patient, their frustration with Frida is obvious. She notices it, and it only makes her act out more.
Simón writes Summer 1993 with empathy and generosity. She knows how Frida must have felt because she was Frida; as an adult, it’s easy to empathise with Marga and Esteve. The warmth she feels for all her characters is evident in every scene. It’s what makes the film so moving, despite the fact that very little happens.
In the hunt for a girl to play Frida, Simón saw almost a thousand children. Laia Artigas was the penultimate audition. She has an interesting little presence; a mop of unruly dark hair, and an unusually serious demeanour for someone so young. It’s notable how much she resembles Ana Torrent, star of Cría Cuervos.
The whole film hinges on the new family unit, and as such, Simón made sure that the two adults and two children at the centre of the movie were comfortable with each other; assigning them group improvisations before they started shooting. It’s clear from the first time you see them all together how well this paid off. Watching them interact, even when they aren’t doing very much at all, is lovely.
Summer 1993 is a beautiful, personal film; tenderly directed and delicately written. It deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as those earlier classics.

For years and years, Fran McKendree has provided music at Sawyerville Summer Camp. He has written a reflection about his time at camp that he graciously offered to share here as well.
Over the past few years, summertime has become ‘camp season’ for me. I’m here to say that there is no better medicine for curing the weary-world blues than a summer spent hanging out and working with young people!
I begin with Sawyerville Summer Camp. Sawyerville serves children ages 6-13 in rural Alabama. At camp kids hear Bible stories, create artwork, make music, play sports, learn to swim, and enjoy breakfast, lunch, and snacks all at absolutely no cost. This year over six hundred campers were enrolled. It’s staffed by high school and college students from around the state who volunteer their time and resources to be a part of this amazing event. Dinner for the staff every night is prepared by volunteers. Every year there is a different theme, and I come up with a theme song for the week I’m with them. I can only skim the surface here, trying to describe how much being a part of this camp has changed my life.
I work with the 6-8 year old group – if you could harness the energy, as they say… enough to power the entire state. What I love most about this camp is that the model really works – the kids who came as campers when they were 6 now serve on staff or as counselors. There is a loving regard for the camp within the towns nearby – you go into the Piggly Wiggly with a staff T shirt on and the checkout person gives you a hug, tells you how much she loved camp, and how her kids are loving every minute of it now.
One of the most powerful moments for me over the years was when a little one came to me and said she’d written a song. I asked her if she’d sing it for me… the lyric was ‘A change is gonna come.’ She sang in a tender, hopeful voice. I asked her if she’d sing it for the whole camp if I played the guitar with her, she did and it was one of the most beautiful moments I’ve ever been blessed to be a part of. Yes… a change is gonna come!!

This year’s speakers are Barbara Brown Taylor and Jacqui Lewis. Follow their newsletters for more information and reflections like Fran’s.

The amount of people on ice varies from day to day, Sam Flint who works at ‘Gardens Ice Rink’ said : “On a quiet day around 300 people and on a busy day it could be 1000 people”.
Seeing as the outdoors ice skating rink is only open for a short period of time, skaters don’t have much time to develop their skills on the ice. Sam Flint said : “Bournemouth could benefit from a permanent one”.
Bournemouth has been planning on building a permanent ice skating rink at King’s Park since 2010 due to the publics interest but still has no developper.
With so many more people going to the temporary ice skating rink each year, one of the worries with a permanent rink would be people no longer joining in on the Christmas fun at the outdoor rink.
Sam Flint said : “I don’t think it would affect it as much because it’s outside.
“People like to come to this one because it’s outside”.
It’s time to bring back a permanent ice skating rink in Bournemouth for the public to enjoy all year round.
