Many of the early voyages to the Spanish possessionsin South America, are open to the charge ofhaving been conducted more upon buccaneeringprinciples, than on those that should guide nationsin their intercourse with each other.
Even Sir Francis Drake, on his return from oneof the most memorable, endured the mortificationof being considered little better than a pirate, andit required all the honors conferred on him byQueen Elizabeth, to set him right in publicopinion.
This is not the proper place to discuss thequestion, whether England was justified in allowingsuch expeditions to leave her shores; it issufficient to state, that our author is not liableto any animadversion, as his voyage was undertakenunder the authority of the Queen’s commission; andviiihis conduct was marked throughout by humanityand benevolence.
We can hardly appreciate too highly the adventurousdaring of these early navigators; butwhile we give due credit to them for attemptingsuch long voyages into almost unknown seas, invessels of small burthen, we must not imagine thatthey were utterly unprovided for the nature of theexpected service: on the contrary, great care seemshave been taken both in selecting proper crews, andin providing them with everything needful.
Sir Richard Hawkins, at page 12, alludes generallyto his own preparations; and we read in the accountsof Sir Francis Drake’s expedition, “that hisvessels were plentifully furnished with all manner ofprovisions and necessaries for so long and dangerousa voyage; and such as served only for ornamentand delight were likewise not forgotten. For thispurpose he took with him very expert musiciansfor several instruments. His furniture of all kindswas rich and sumptuous; all the vessels for histable, and many in the cook-room, being of puresilver, curiously wrought, and many other thingswhereby the magnificence of his native countrymight be displayed.”ix
We find even more detail in the North WestFox, or Fox from the North-west passage, London,1635: a work professing to give an account of allNorthern voyagers, commencing with King Arthur,and ending with Captain Luke Fox. We quotefrom the preface to the latter voyage:—
“The ship of his Majesties, was (of my ownchusing, and the best for condition and quality,especially for this voyage, that the world couldafford), of burthen eighty tonnes, the number ofmen twenty, and two boyes, and by all our careswas sheathed, cordaged, builded, and repaired; allthings being made exactly ready against an appointedtime. My greatest care was to have my men ofgodly conversation, and such as their years, of timenot exceeding thirty-five, had gained good experience,that I might thereby be the better assisted,especially by such as had been upon those frostbitingvoyages, by which they were hardened forindurance, and could not so soone be dismayed atthe sight of the ice. For beardless younkers, Iknew as many as could man the boate was enough;and for all our dependances was upon God alone,for I had neither private ambition or vaine glory.
“And all these things I had contractedly done byxthe master, wardens, and assistants of the TrinityHouse. For a lieutenant I had no use; but itgrieved me much that I could not get one man thathad been on the same voyage before, by whosecounsaile or discourse I might better have shunnedthe ice. I was victualled compleatly for eighteenemonths; but whether the baker, brewer, butcher,and other, were master of their arts, or professorsor no, I know not; but this I am sure of, I hadexcellent fat beefe, strong beere, good wheatenbread, good Iceland ling, butter and cheese of thebest, admirable sacke and aqua-vitæ, pease, oatmeale,wheat-meale, oyle, spice, sugar, fruit, andrice; with chyrugerie, as sirrups, julips, condits,trechisses, antidotes, balsoms, gummes, unguents,implaisters, oyles, potions, suppositors, and purgingpills; and if I wanted instruments, my chyrugionhad enough. My carpenter was fitted from thethickest bolt to the pumpe nayle, or tacket. Thegunner, from the sacor to the pistol. The boatswaine,from the cable to the sayle twine. Thesteward and cooke, from the caldron to the spoone.
“And for books, if I wanted any I was to blame,being bountifully furnisht from the treasurer withmoney to provide me, especially for those of studyxithere would be no leisure, nor was there, for Ifound work enough.”
Besides this abundant preparation of all thingsneedful for the body, rules for good discipline werenot wanting, which we also transcribe, consideringthey have some relation to the matter in hand.
“May 7, anno 1631.—The voyage of CaptaineLuke Fox, in his Majesties pinnace the Charles,burthen seventy tonnes, twenty men, and twoboyes, victuals for eighteen months, young SirJohn Wolstenholme being treasurer.
“Orders and articles for civill government, to beduly observed amongst us in this voyage.
“Forasmuch as the good successe and prosperityof every action doth consist in the due service andglorifying of God, knowing that not only our beingand preservation, but the prosperity of all ouractions and enterprizes doe immediately dependupon His Almighty goodness and mercy; of whichthis being none of the least, eyther of nature orquality. For the better governing and managingof this present voyage, in his Majesties ship theCharles, bound for the North-west Passage, towardsthe South Sea, May 7, 1631, as followeth:—
“1. That all the whole company, as well officersxiias others, shall duly repaire every day twice, at thecall of the bell, to heare publike prayers to be read(such as are authorized by the Church), and that ina godly and devout manner, as good Christiansought.
“2. That no man shall swear by the name ofGod, nor use any prophane oath, or blaspheme hisholy name, upon pain of severe punishment.
“3. That no man shall speak any vile or unbeseemingword, against the honour of his Majestie,our dread soveraigne, his lawes or ordinances, orthe religion established and authorized by him herein England, but as good subjects shall duly prayfor him.
“4. That no man shall speake any doubtfull ordespairing words against the good successe of thevoyage, or make any doubt thereof, eyther in publiqueor private, at his messe, or to his watch-mate,or shall make any question of the skill and knowledgeeyther of superiour or inferior officer, or ofthe undertakings; nor shall offer to combine againstthe authority thereof, upon the paine of severepunishment, as well to him that shall first heare andconceale the same, as to the first beginner.
“5. That no man do offer to filch or steale anyxiiiof the goods of the ship or company, or doe offerto breake into hould, there to take his pleasure ofsuch provisions as are layd in generall for the wholecompany of the ship; nor that any officer appointedfor the charge and oversight thereof, doe other wayesthan shall be appointed him, but shall every manbee carefull for the necessary preservation of thevictuall and fuell conteyned in the hould; and thatalso every officer be so carefull of his store, as heemust not be found (upon examination) to deservepunishment.
“6. That no man doe grumble at his allowanceof victuall, or steale any from others, nor shall givecross language, eyther to superior or equal, in revilingwords or daring speeches, which do tendto the inflaming of blood or inraging of choller;remembering this also, that a stroke or a blow isthe breach of his Majesties peace, and may not wanthis punishment therefore, as for other reasons.
“7. That at the boatswaine’s call, all the wholecompany shall appeare above decke, or else that hismate fetch up presently all such sloathfull persons,eyther with rope or cudgell, as in such cases deservesthe same. The quarter-masters shall look into thesteeridge, while the captains, masters, and mates areat dinner, or at supper.xiv
“8. That all men duely observe the watch, aswell at anchor as under sayle, and at the dischargethereof, the boatswaine or his mate shall call up theother; all praising God together, with psalme andprayer. And so committing our selves, both soulesand bodies, ship and goods, to God’s mercifull preservation,wee beseech him to steere, direct, andguide us, from the beginning to the end of ourvoyage: which hee make prosperous unto us.Amen.”
Sir Richard Hawkins followed the profession ofa seaman from an early age. Brought up in stirringtimes, under the eye of his father, one of themost experienced naval commanders of his time,he appears to have inherited a knowledge of soundprinciples of discipline, and to have become imbuedwith that indomitable courage, tempered with prudence,essential to the character of a good seaofficer. In 1588, Captain Hawkins commanded theSwallow, a Queen’s ship of three hundred and sixtytons, and assisted in her at the destruction of theSpanish armada. He appears at that period tohave attained a certain consideration, as he wasemployed as Queen’s Commissioner, to settle someprize claims. He next undertook the voyage thexvhistory of which is recounted in the following pages.After his return from his detention in the SouthSeas, we find him, in 1620, in the Vanguard, ofsix hundred and sixty tons, vice-admirall of SirRobert Mansel’s expedition against the Algerines.He died suddenly shortly afterwards.
Admiral Burney, in his History of Voyages andDiscoveries in the South Seas, alluding to this work,says, “it might with propriety have been entitled abook of good counsel; many of his observationsbeing unconnected with the voyage he is relating,but his digressions are ingenious and entertaining,and they frequently contain useful or curious information”:and Mr. Barrow, in his Memoirs of theNaval Worthies of Queen Elizabeth, thinks thatthe “Observations must take their station in thevery first rank of our old sea voyages.”
Similar considerations led the council of theHakluyt Society to select it, though not exactly arare work,

29 Jan When the Soul Speaks
I’m not sure I ever wrote in detail about what happened in the streets of Washington DC six years ago while standing in front of the United Nations Foundation offices. My then high school freshman daughter and I had just wrapped up our time at the first Shot@Life Summit. It had been an exciting, informative, and empowering few days that culminated with an inspiring keynote from the President and CEO of the United Nations Foundation, Kathy Calvin. As we said our good-byes, my daughter met Ms. Calvin who, impressed by enthusiasm and her age, told her to come back one day and intern for the UNF (the ultimate offer for a global-minded Model United Nations kid). As we left the luncheon and walked out onto the street my daughter burst out into tears. Perplexed, I urged her to explain.
Tears streaming down her face, she choked out a few very insightful words, “This is going to change my whole life, mom.”
Although I was aware that the weekend was having an impact on her, I didn’t realize to what extent until that moment. As I put my arms around her she sobbed, “What’s wrong with me, mom? Why am I crying?”
It was clear to me that nothing was wrong. Instead, it was about something being unmistakably, intensely, profoundly right. Hers were tears of deep, internal knowing.
I don’t remember my exact words but I shared my belief that her overwhelming emotion was her very soul speaking to her. That feeling, that unexpected, visceral reaction meant there was something there for her. Within that sort of arena, with those kinds of people, in that particular place. Neither of us could have ever known the specifics in that moment but it provided her (and I) an experience, or perhaps better said, a certain kind of internal compass that she could use to help navigate her future.
It was a moment neither one of us has ever forgotten.
Six years later and my daughter is living in that place, attending a University in DC, learning, growing and thriving in that arena, surrounded by those people. Now, it is her place, her arena, and they are her people. And I’m sure this is just the beginning! It’s one of those stories of strange and surreal synchronicities that you can trace back through to remind yourself that these things do happen; that we get clear reads on people, places, things. And that sometimes we are affected by experiences in ways that are unexpected and near unexplainable but that how we respond and react should never be dismissed.
When emotion flows (through tears of joy, sorrow, or a feeling of something all together new) I hope that we all can find the courage to listen to our souls speaking and respond, I hear you and I’m listening.
To the people who had the vision and the generosity to get us to DC for the very first Shot@Life Summit back in 2012, thank you! Ann, Caroline & Ms. Calvin, I want you to know, even all these years later, how much we appreciated that opportunity and how it affected us in such huge ways.

EPS growth, or earnings per share growth, is a key metric for investors to consider when evaluating a company's performance and potential for future growth. EPS measures the net income earned by each share of a company's common stock, and growth in this metric indicates that the company is generating more profit per share over time.
EPS growth can be calculated by comparing the EPS of a company in different time periods, such as quarter-over-quarter or year-over-year. A company with a high EPS growth rate is generally considered to be performing well and may be a good investment opportunity.
One of the key benefits of EPS growth is that it takes into account the effects of dilution on a company's earnings. Dilution occurs when a company issues new shares of stock, which can reduce the amount of net income available to be distributed to existing shareholders. By calculating EPS growth, investors can see how much of a company's earnings are actually being distributed to shareholders, rather than being diluted by new stock issuances.
Another advantage of EPS growth is that it allows investors to compare the performance of different companies within the same industry. By comparing EPS growth rates, investors can see which companies are generating the most profit per share and potentially identify the most promising investment opportunities.
In addition to being a valuable metric for investors, EPS growth is also closely watched by analysts and market watchers. Companies with strong EPS growth may be more likely to receive positive coverage from analysts and be included in industry reports and indices.
Overall, EPS growth is a crucial indicator for investors to consider when evaluating a company's financial performance and potential for future growth. By tracking EPS growth, investors can gain insight into a company's profitability and make more informed investment decisions.

This video says about itself:
This animation shows how the juvenile plesiosaur, discovered in Antarctica by an American-Argentine research team, might have appeared.
Amid 70-mile-an-hour winds and freezing Antarctic conditions, an American-Argentine research team has recovered the well-preserved fossil skeleton of a juvenile plesiosaur–a marine reptile that swam the waters of the Southern Ocean roughly 70 million years ago.
The fossil remains represent one of the most-complete plesiosaur skeletons ever found and is thought to be the best-articulated fossil skeleton ever recovered from Antarctica. The creature would have inhabited Antarctic waters during a period when the Earth and oceans were far warmer than they are today.
From National Geographic:
December 12, 2007—This lush landscape may not look like the Antarctica we know today, but what a difference 190 million years can make.
Back then, what’s now a windswept mountain at the bottom of the world was the stomping ground of an enormous plant-eating dinosaur called Glacialisaurus hammeri, pictured here in an artist’s rendering.
Scientists recently identified the giant dino more than a decade after its fossilized foot, ankle, and leg bones were first discovered some 13,000 feet (4,000 meters) up the face of Mount Kirkpatrick.
Tipping the scales at six tons and measuring some 25 feet (7.6 meters) long, Glacialisaurus belonged to a group of dinos called sauropodomorphs that were the largest to have ever walked the Earth, scientists say.
The discovery proves that the hefty reptiles made their home in present-day Antarctica as well as Asia, Africa, and the Americas, where similar specimens have been found from the same period, said Nathan Smith, a graduate student at Chicago’s Field Museum who co-wrote the study describing the new species.
“This [wide geographic range] was probably due to the fact that major connections between the continents still existed at that time, and because climates were more equitable across latitudes than they are today,” Smith said in a press statement.
In addition, because the dino dates to the Jurassic period—from about 145 million to 199 million years ago—Glacialisaurus also offers new proof that sauropodomorphs lived alongside their more advanced sauropod kin, like Diplodocus and Apatasaurus, the researchers say.
“[These fossils] are important because they help to establish that primitive sauropodomorph dinosaurs were more broadly distributed than previously thought and that they coexisted with their cousins, the true sauropods,” Smith said.
Smith and Argentinean paleontologist Diego Pol report their findings in the online edition of the journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica.

Tustin man keeps busy with hunting, fishing, golf course duties
TUSTIN — This is a very busy time of year for Ken Kanouse of Tustin.
The Osceola County resident loves his hunting and fishing and spends as much time with those two sports as possible.
But it’s not easy, considering that he also is taking care of Tustin Trails Golf Course, owned by his mother, Lorraine. As the golf season is breaking into stride, Kanouse is busier than ever, as one might suspect.
But during the winter, Kanouse was very busy.
“I had a real good ice fishing season on local lakes, mostly for panfish,” he said. “Rose, Cadillac and Mitchell is where I do most of mine. There’s numerous small lakes that have good fishing, especially for panfish.”
Kanouse noted that some locals are catching bluegills in small local lakes.
“The spring trout season, from what I understand, like on the Pine River, was a little slow, a lot of high water,” he said. “But I did hear of a few nice catches, also. Points of interest (Thursday morning), a friend of mine got a bunch of mushrooms. He had five pounds (Wednesday). It’d be a good weekend for that.”
Kanouse, like other anglers, is anxiously waiting for warmer weather to settle in.
“On the golf scene, it was real slow April and a decent May as soon as the weather turned in our favor,” Kanouse said.
He’s an active and successful deer hunter.
“It’s been good for me. There’s been more older and nicer bucks taken the last two years,” Kanouse said.
The biggest local buck he harvested was an 8-pointer. He bagged an 8-pointer and 7-pointer last season. He prefers bow season but also does rifle and muzzleloading
Kanouse does some turkey hunting along with his son.
“Last year we got a jake,” he said. ‘I’ve heard it’s been a little slow and the birds aren’t cooperating as well as normal. My son and I have been out twice without any luck. We’ll be going out this weekend.”
Lorraine Kanouse, his mother, is keeping busy with the golf leagues. There’s men’s leagues Monday afternoon and another men’s league Thursday morning. There’s also a Wednesday couples league.

|25th Feb - Know your tipster inside out...|
|11th Feb - The misleading nature of early-morning money...|
|4th Feb - The mucking out begins...|
|Back to Main Menu|
4th February 2016
Good afternoon, friends,
In this issue of Punters’ Verdict….
Get out of debt – set up a tipping service….
The more tipping services I look at the more incredulous I become about the prices these outfits charge clients.
Times are tough. People are experiencing hard times. And it seems to me that every single one of these financially-strapped individuals has set up some kind of sports tipping service to put food on the table.
Every man Jack and his dog is a tipster these days. And none are shy about charging the Earth. I am seeing more and more services doing the rounds and asking £80 to £100 per month to join – sometimes more!
£100 a month for racing tips? Lawyers come cheaper, my friend….
I can get my lawn cut, my shirts ironed, my carpets vacuumed, my windows cleaned, my car washed, my hair trimmed, my shoes shined and my milk bill paid - and still have change for a few football accas and a win double on the nags out of that kind of spend….
When was it that tipping services became such a precious and valuable commodity in the lives of men?
When was it that tipsters started to compete with the cost of petrol, electricity and Council Tax on the household monthly budget sheet?
Tipping service operators will tell you that their subscription costs are so exorbitant because their services supply information that makes money.
But, of course, most tipsters are lying through their back teeth, deluded to the point of mental illness or suffering the side-effects of hallucinogenic substances.
The fact is that in most cases the monthly subscription fee you pay to join a tipping service represents just the START of the cost. The information these charlatans provide you with will set you back at least the same again and generally more.
It isn’t obligatory to be a fool when you get involved with most tipsters – but it sure does help. And in recent times it has helped to have deep pockets too. Doing business with a lot of tipsters is to consent being shaken down….
How the shakedown came about….
For a few years the tipping industry – for that is what it has grown into – has had things its own way. We have lived through the tipping industry’s golden age of warm apple pie and ice cream.
The expansion of the betting industry, increased levels of televised sports, and the introduction of new bet-types, markets and betting platforms encouraged an increased and hitherto unheard of demand for sports-betting information….
For years profitable sports-betting had been the preserve of a select few. Now the new technologies and opportunities seemed to make it possible for any Tom, Dick or Harry to get his share of the pie and the betting profits.
Of course, the idea is a complete nonsense. But it is a very seductive notion. And millions – literally – of punters (existing and prospective) fell for its charm.
Any sports fan with a pulse could picture himself making a living in the new and reinvigorated sports-betting markets from the comfort of his armchair.
There was barely a racing fan in the country who didn’t buy into the belief he could retire in just a few short years from the proceeds of laying horses on Betfair – and he wouldn’t even have to get out of his pyjamas in a morning to do it!
Everybody wanted to back and lay, everybody wanted to make the spread, get the middle, arb the market, take a position, trade the profit, green-up, back the winner and profit from the loser – all tax-free.
For a while it seemed like developments in technology alone were sufficient to make betting pay. Just having the right kit, an Internet connection and accounts with the right online bookmaking sites appeared to put average Joe Punter on a par with the real movers and shakers. Increased betting profits were just a derivative of increased opportunities to bet. That’s how it seemed.
And, as with all the greatest illusions, it took time see through it.
Technology cannot deliver expertise….
And it was an illusion….
Winning isn’t as simple as having the opportunity to do so. If it were then I wouldn’t be writing this column. And you wouldn’t be reading it. We’d both be on some beach in Brazil drinking banana daiquiris.
Technology makes it possible to bet in myriad different ways. But it doesn’t change the fact that you have to KNOW something in order to bet effectively or well or at least in a way that doesn’t damage you. Technology alone cannot give you sports-betting expertise.
Over time this truth dawned on all the new sports-bettors – at a rate that was directly proportional to the losses they’d already racked up following dreams of untold riches and a life of leisure as a sports-betting pro.
Slowly but surely they realized – or it was made clear to them – that they needed more than technology and opportunity. They needed information. They needed to know how to bet, what to bet, when to bet, where to bet and why to bet it…. They needed advice. They needed expertise. They needed someone to tell them what to do….
And, slowly and gradually, the tipping industry appeared and grew like a tumor. It had always been there. But never on the scale we have seen it grow to in the last 15 years or so.
Information was king. Everybody wanted it. Suddenly every sports-fan with an opinion and a Paypal account had something to sell. Almost overnight everybody was in the business of providing ‘unique’ and ‘professional’ advice for serious punters.
Every wide-boy in Creation was promising infallible insider information, mathematical systems, scientific methods, big strike rates, and easy profits….
And punters – still in thrall to the dream of becoming a sports-betting whizz – were prepared to pay for it… and pay big. The tipsters were not slow to capitalize.
And here we are today with greed-driven tipping services hawking out mostly useless information at £80.00 to £100.00 per month.
I see signs of a market shakeout….
But I see signs of this ridiculous situation changing - slowly.
Times are a little tougher than they were. And tipsters generally fail to produce results that match up to the claims they make. They generally don’t deliver. They generally don’t make good on their promises.
And I believe that punters (particularly the smart and the financially-strapped) are becoming more resistant to paying silly prices in exchange for non-effective information. When tipsters fail they are being ditched – for good – far more quickly than they once were.
I see this in the increase of ‘Profits or Money Back’ offers that tipping services are going to market with.
More and more tipping services are trying to get punters onboard – and trying to keep them onboard – by promising to refund subscription fees if the service selections do not produce profits.
I am also seeing evidence of more and more failing services getting realistic with their pricing policies.
What we are witnessing is the start of a shakeout. The market is riddled with tipsters. Type ‘Tipping Service’ into Google and you get 37,300,000 results. There’s probably a tipping service for every man, woman and child in the British Isles.
Most of these services don’t deliver. They are not fit for purpose. And they will be shaken out of the market as time goes on. There is only so much demand to go round and this is diminishing in our tough economic climate. The services that can’t deliver will be starved of their lifeblood – subscription fees.
Many will refuse to go quietly. They will do what they can to stay alive. They will ultimately fail. But for now they will continue trying to attract subscription fees by offering to refund them in the event their expertise fails to produce a profit – or by offering a lower-cost deal to begin with.
This is just the start. The weakest services are already making concessions that wouldn’t have been dreamt of 5-years ago.
The weak, the mediocre and the useless will perish. Only the strong, the good and the decent will survive the shakeout.
And prices will find a level that is more realistic than those we’ve been looking at in recent years. Competition for a share of the market that does remain will see to that.
The market has changed. The stables are being mucked out. We wonder who will be left standing when the market has done its work.
I’ll be back with the Verdict next week.


Political Setback for the Centre
Gain for the Congress not symmetrically large
The Uttarakhand High Court judgment revoking President’s rule in the state is a huge political blow to the Modiled central government and the BJP. It, however, has an asymmetrical fallout: the gain for the Opposition Congress, whose government was dismissed in Uttarakhand one day before it was to prove its majority on the floor of the House, is minor in scale compared to the political damage done to the BJP and the prime minister. The court verdict criticises the central government for violating the law and harming democracy. These add up to serious criticism of Narendra Modi, who takes pains to claim that the Constitution is the only holy book he follows as prime minister.
Considering that as many as nine of its legislative assembly members had joined the Opposition BJP to oppose the Budget, the Congress government led by Harish Rawat could not have passed the Budget with a voice vote. His government effectively stood defeated on a money Bill. However, those nine rebel MLAs, having gone against the party whip, stood disqualified as well. So, the task before the legislature was to test if Harish Rawat still retained the confidence of the House. The big mistake on the Centre’s part was to flout the norm — not disputed till the present government at the Centre started wielding Article 356, since a nine-member bench of the Supreme Court laid it down in 1993 — that the confidence of the House has to be tested on the floor of the House. The BJP has made it clear that it would challenge the high court order in the Supreme Court. There is no reason for the apex court to grant a stay on the floor test ordered for April 29 or to invalidate the high court order, since the high court judgment’s reasoning pretty much follows the Supreme Court’s on the subject.
It is moot, however, if Rawat would be able to marshal enough support in the House. His government could well fall. The sensible, democratic course then would be to hold fresh elections, to let the people, the ultimate sovereign, have a say as to who should represent them.

Doing Gender in Media, Art and Culture is an introductory text for students specialising in gender studies. The truly interdisciplinary and intergenerational approach bridges the gap between humanities and the social sciences, and it showcases the academic and social context in which gender studies has evolved. Complex contemporary phenomena such as globalisation, neo-liberalism and 'fundamentalism' are addressed that stir up new questions relevant to the study of culture. This vibrant and wide-ranging collection of essays is essential reading for anyone in need of an accessible but sophisticated guide to the very latest issues and concepts within gender studies. 'Doing Gender in Media, Art, and Culture' is an indispensable introduction to third wave feminism and contemporary gender studies. It is international in scope, multidisciplinary in method, and transmedial in coverage. It shows how far feminist theory has come since Simone de Beauvoir's Second Sex and marks out clearly how much still needs to be done.'........Hayden White, Professor of Historical Studies, Emeritus, University of California, and Professor of Comparative Literature, Stanford University, US

Marli Alexa flaunted her bikini body when she returned to her Instagram account on Wednesday to share yet another revealing photo. In the caption of the post, she revealed to fans that while posing for the pic, a large wave nearly swept her and all of her belongings away.
In the picture, Marli looked like a total smokeshow as she sported a tiny white string bikini. The top fastened around her neck and behind her back. It also boasted thin spaghetti straps that gave fans a peek at her muscled arms and shoulders.
The matching bottoms tied around her curvy hips and accentuated her petite waist. Her flat tummy was also spotlighted in the shot.
Marli lay on her stomach on top of a white and yellow beach towel as she sprawled out on the sand in Laguna Beach. She placed one hand on the ground next to her and rested her head in her other hand. She arched her back slightly and gave a steamy stare into the camera.
In the background of the snap, the sand was visible, as well as some tall trees. A bright blue sunlit sky with a few white fluffy clouds could be seen overhead.
Marli parted her long blond hair in the center of her head. She styled the golden locks in loose waves that brushed lightly over her back and cascaded down her shoulders.
The young model has accumulated more than 523,000 followers on her account. Many of those fans couldn't get enough of the racy pic, clicking the "like" button more than 19,000 times in less than 24 hours after it was uploaded to her feed. Her admirers also took to the comments section to leave over 330 remarks about the shot during that time."You are such a beauty," one follower wrote.
"The most beautiful queen deserves to be worshiped," declared another.
"Beautiful pic you look so gorgeous!" a third social media user gushed.
"Omg!! Your eyes are so beautiful," a fourth person commented.
The model is no stranger to showcasing her flawless physique in revealing ensembles. She's been known to wear tiny tops, scanty bathing suits, and tight bottoms in her photos.
As previously reported by The Inquisitr, Marli dropped the jaws of her followers earlier this week when she wore a black thong bikini as she straddled a blue jet ski and soaked up some sun in Lake Powell, Utah. To date, that snap has raked in more than 24,000 likes and over 300 comments.

"You truly point out that war is only a symptom of the whole horrid business of human behavior, and cannot be isolated, and that we shall not, even if we abolish war, abolish hate and greed. So might it have been argued about slave emancipation, that slavery was but one aspect of human disgustingness, and that to abolish it would not end the barbarity that causes it. But did the abolitionists therefore waste their breath? And do we waste ours now in protesting against war?" (An Open Letter to a Non-Pacifist, p. 8, 1937; photo Spartacus Educational)

My family packed up and left the bustling city of Melbourne when I was three years old and moved to small country town 75 minutes drive down the Princes Highway past Geelong. On the sign coming in to town it said Population: 1000 (except when some wag painted over it so it read Population: Drunk). People found our large family of 7 kids unusual. I didn’t know other families at school with as many kids as ours. Nor were there other big families among my cousins. One of my uncles called us the rent-a-crowd. Once we arrived anywhere it did feel quite crowded.
But my parents had left behind a number of friends in Melbourne with large families. Every now and again we met up with them. Their children were a lot older than in my family and visiting a crowd of older kids was always overwhelming. But also fascinating. While, as second oldest of the family, I had a hoard of brothers and sisters who were mere babies to be coddled and cuddled, these families were full of teenagers with their own lives – they had jobs, cars, records, and more independent relationships with their parents. The very idea of giving your parents advice on driving and cooking seemed so grown-up to me. I was still merely driving a make-believe car beside the cubby hut and baking mud pies.
It was during one of these visits to my parents’ Melbourne friends, that I remember one grown child telling us about how to crumb sausages. I think he was a chef or maybe a waiter or maybe he just cooked at home. Not sure now. As a child, I was easily impressed. I thought my dad the most important person at the council where he worked. I thought the theme song to the soap opera (Rush) that we had at the end of each school assembly was a world famous anthem. And I believed that Prime Minister was the grandfather of the kids who lived up the highway because they had the same surname as him.
Perhaps I remember the crumbed sausages discussion because I don’t remember learning much about cooking from anyone by my mum and magazines. At the time it seemed an important thing to know (alongside the same family’s advice to keep the electric beaters in the chocolate butter cake mix for 3 minutes to make it light and airy). I probably also remember it because I loved sausages.
When I think about sausages, I can’t help but think back to my childhood. We ate sausages at barbeques frequently (the only pic I could find of BBQs is a knitted one from an exhibition which doesn't look at all like the usual BBQs I see, but it amused me anyway). Whether it was at school camp, hospital fetes, or family trips to Angahook Forest Park. My dad even made his own barbeque in the backyard from bricks and a metal sheet in the days before fancy barbeques were sold for 4 digit figures in hardware stores. A greasy sausage was wrapped in a square slice of white bread with a red strip of tomato sauce along the sausage. No plates or cutlery was involved. Sometimes there was a garden salad and potato salad. My mum also regularly made sausage curry which we all loved.
It was a time of innocence when I thought the nearby beaches along the Great Ocean Road were the best in the world and one of my favourite sites was the sparkling lights of Melbourne spread out beneath us as we drove across the newly opened Westgate Bridge at night. I even naively thought it looked cool to stand around at tram stops as I drove through the city with my family – long before I learnt the hard way how annoying it is to have to wait for trams. And of course sausages seemed some of the best food in the world. We tasted them raw sometimes even though people said that gave you worms. This was before posh sausages with fancy ingredients and good meat.
Since becoming a vegetarian I haven’t yearned to eat those sausages of my childhood. Now they seem like a horrid mixture of sawdust and offal off the butchers’ floors. But I have missed the culture of sausages. I missed being part of barbeques and enjoying the smoky charcoal flavour. At first my family respectfully cooked my food inside while they relaxed in the sunshine but now we have worked out about how omnivores and vegetarians can share a barbeque. I still miss out when I see sausage sizzles and fundraisers in the local mall, outside the large hardware stores and at farmers markets, but at family barbeques my vegetarian sausages sit alongside the meat ones, albeit separated by some foil. It makes me easier being a vegetarian.
These days vegetarian sausages are easily found in most suburban supermarkets. I know which ones stay together on a barbeque and which are better kept for cooking under the grill. But I have long dreamed of making my own. I have tried a few recipes that had the right shape but lacked the sausage taste and texture. There is one particular recipe for vegetarian sausages with gluten flour that seemed fascinating but a bit intimidating. Then this week I tried a new recipe for vegetarian sausages and have decided it the best ever.
The recipe is from Joanna Farrow’s 30 Minute Vegetarian. It took me quite a bit longer than 30 minutes, especially once I prepared side dishes. But worth every minute. These sausages held together so well which is probably due to the combination of the couscous, chestnut puree, egg yolk and breadcrumbs. But also very tasty. And because there was an egg white leftover after using the egg yolk, I decided I would do them as crumbed sausages, just as I had learnt as a child on my family visits.
The sausages had great flavour from herbs, chilli and mushrooms. I think they could probably be made vegan quite easily because I don’t think the egg was essential. They don’t need to be crumbed but I suspect it helped them hold together, because the couple which I didn’t have enough egg white to crumb, didn’t seem quite as good. If you can get your hands on a tin of chestnut puree, I highly recommend you try these. Actually the recipe calls for finely chopped chestnuts but I think the puree helped them hold together.
They can be served with roast vegetables, a salad or a mash. The first night I served them, E was poorly and just wanted pasta so I served them with pasta and salad. The second night I served them with mashed potato and gravy which was much much better. They tasted like gourmet pub grub. The best sort of comfort food.
If you wanted to expand your horizons, I have found a few tempting suggestions for mash variations which I have listed below and would also recommend checking out my nut roasts for my other ideas on accompaniments.

Holler’s Bean sweetcorn and potato mash -
Ricki’s Cauliflower, parsnip and bean mash
Heidi’s Kale and olive oil mashed potatoes
Vegetation’s Creamy polenta with milk
Given that this post is quite a self-indulgent nostalgic one, I will leave the final word to someone who would appreciate these sausages: Penfold - sidekick of cartoon superhero, Danger Mouse - who was forever saying, ‘Crumbs, Chief!’
Mushroom Chestnut and Couscous Sausages
(adapted from Joanna Farrow)
75ml boiling water
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
250g mushrooms, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp chilli paste
Small handful mixed herbs such as parsley, rosemary and thyme, finely chopped
200g chestnut puree (or finely chopped cooked chestnuts)
1 egg, divided
Oil for shallow frying
Salt and pepper
Place couscous in medium bowl and pour boiling water over it. Cover (with a plate or lid) and set aside for 5 minutes.
Heat oil in a frying pan and fry onion and mushrooms for about 5 minutes until onion is soft and any moisture has evaporated.
Use a fork to fluff up the couscous and add onion, mushrooms, garlic, chilli, herbs, chestnut puree, breadcrumbs and egg yolk. Mix well.
Divide the mixture into 10-12 pieces and roll into sausages. (Mine were quite thick and stubby. I wanted to make sure they were short enough to roll in the bowl with the egg white.) Lightly whisk the egg white in a little bowl. Place about a cup or so of breadcrumbs in another small bowl. Dip each sausage in the breadcrumbs, then in the egg white, then in the breadcrumbs again.
When you have finished crumbing, heat about 1-2 cm of oil in a frypan over a low to medium heat Place sausages in frypan and turn occasionally til golden brown all over (I am no expert on doing this evenly, but maybe working out how to shape the sausages more evenly might help.).
Serve hot with mash and gravy or other accompaniments. When we had the leftovers the following night, I just put the sausages on a tray in a moderate oven while I made the mash and gravy.

Oh, that looks amazing! We also used to have many BBQs as kids, as my dad (a butcher) would bring home lots of different meats--including sausages--and we'd have a huge grill full for Sunday lunch. I love the sound of these--must see if I can find chestnut puree. And SEVEN KIDS??!! Wow. I thought our three was a zoo--can't imagine seven! ;)ReplyDelete
PS Forgot to mention I actually went out and bought some vegemite (couldn't find Promite)--so I am GOING TO TRY YOUR MOM'S RECIPE! (The all-caps are steeling me for the results-ha ha!). Thanks for the link to the cauli mash--still one of my favorites.ReplyDelete
A timely post for me, as I have two bbq's to go to today! I also have strong summer memories of chowing down on charcoal-tasting sausages in a square of plain white bread - topped with a strip of sweet tomato sauce of course. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Haha, don't you love kiddie beliefs? My Dad had one of those bbq's made from red bricks and a giant metal plate down the back yard too.ReplyDelete
These sausages sound fascinating, I've always used the one's you linked to (which you totally should try! They sound intimidating but they're really quite easy, the worst bit is all the wrapping). I can't wait to try them, the one's in the supermarket are always full of soy and I'd love something to put on the bbq when the husband fires ours up!
Those look worth working for!ReplyDelete
Childhood is a magic time, you can call it naive but I call it magic.
thanks Ricki - I am sure you would have had a veritable smorgasbord of meats - we only had sausages, hamburgers and sometimes chops but it is the sausages I think of fondly. Hope you enjoy the mash and vegemite - a good one to try vegemite on!ReplyDelete
thanks Lisa - hope you enjoyed your barbeques and they are full of nice goodies for you and not just the old meat sausage in white bread :-)
Thanks Vegetation - good to have your encouragement on the gluten flour sausages as I agree I should try them sometime!
thanks Tanna - magical sounds so much nicer than naive
These do sound good. I'm thinking cornmeal would be a nice addition, perhaps instead of the bread crumbs. Certainly a lovely vegetarian alternative either way.ReplyDelete
Well it is BBQ season - especially yesterday (Sunday) with blue skies and warm weather. There were barbies all around us - on all sides!ReplyDelete
Perfect for the upcoming season. Those gluten sausages look quite interesting, I must say.
I made something a bit similar to this last night but it had a bit of an identity crisis and couldn't decide whether to be a patty or not. We decided it could just be grains and mushrooms and chestnut in the end - but yours look a lot more focused! I'm glad they brought back such a happy flow of memories (though who on earth knits a BBQ?!)ReplyDelete
thanks Lisa - would be interested to see a version with cornmealReplyDelete
thanks Lucy - bbq season indeed - have been seeing them around recently but wish they could cater to vegetarians!
thanks Lysy - I think chestnuts and mushrooms seem a good combination - and re knitted bbqs - there is some interested knitted art about - apparently it is very neo-folk!
You always make the most interesting things! I need to motivate myself to try making vegetarian sausages.ReplyDelete
Lovely story to this Johanna and I love the idea of crumbed sausages. Would this work with premade sausages at all? Would the crumbs stick to the casing or would I have to remove the casing? Thanks so much :)ReplyDelete
thanks Lorraine - I think the crumbing would work on any sausages - this is the only time I remember doing it but in my dim memory of being told about it I think it was for normal meat sausages with a casingReplyDelete
Thanks Johanna! Can't wait to do it :)ReplyDelete

text: Gnostic Christianity has been suppressed since the latter part of the Second Century AD. One of the Key elements of Gnostic Christianity is a rejection of the Old Testament construction of God. In the early part of the Second century, Marcion of Sinope published a text called 'Antithesis' arguing that the God of the Hebrew Bible was not the loving Father of Jesus. Marcion utilised passages from the Old Testament in support of that position. Around the middle of the Second Century AD, the Gnostic Christian Teacher Valentinus wrote 'the Gospel of Truth', which clearly conveys that for Valentinus, true 'Gnosis' was 'Knowledge of the Father'. A copy of 'the Gospel of Truth' was found in Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in the middle of the last Century. There are no known surviving copies of the 'Antithesis', but the position these early Christians took is sound. 'Jephthah's Daughter and the Wrong God' defends this position, utilising a similar approach to the 'Antithesis'.


text: In the Soviet Union, systematic political abuse of psychiatry took place. Soviet psychiatric hospitals were used by the authorities as prisons in order to isolate hundreds or thousands of political prisoners from the rest of society, discredit their ideas, and break them physically and mentally. In such cases their religious faith was determined to be a form of mental illness that needed to be cured. As usual they catch few people in the examination room to recreate them. No one can escape from here. But it seems this time it is different. Do you think you can save your comrade and escape from here in one hour?

Thank you for your email dated 6 September 2020 in which you ask a number of
questions relating to the establishment of dispute panels.
As you note in your email, the Education and Training Act 2020 (ETA) enables the
establishment of dispute panels. The ETA can be found here,
and the relevant
provisions start from section 216. These provisions are enabling, and dispute panels
will only be established once the Regulations and resourcing needed for establishing
panels are in place. The timeframe for when the new panels will be established, the
number of panels and where they will be, are yet to be determined.
The Ministry of Education will develop the required Regulations, which will provide
additional detail about panel processes and procedures, and the qualifications and
experience of members. The Ministry will publicly consult on these Regulations as
they are developed.
The ETA does provide some details about the qualifications of members and functions
of the panel, which will assist the development of job descriptions. For example, the
Chief Referee and any deputy must have a legal qualification (or equivalent), and
panels can mediate, make recommendations or, if the parties agree, make binding

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
I would say Apple considered its internal customers as their drive to initiate the change, upon the dawn of the new era with Steve’s comeback. Such an inside-out approach ultimately changed the company culture, which was embedded in their service architecture. Apple gave them co-shared and co-created identity – namely the crazy ones and the misfits, or the differentiators. There was no longer the wall between internal versus external, and together, customers and employees were mesmerized and inspired to join the massive movement of their why story. In the past, these groups were condescendingly seen as the outliers, but now, they are the trend-setters, the hip-and-cools. Certainly, the company’s investment on the overall branding strategy (in/out) was costly and did not yield an immediate ROI, but it certainly shaped Apple’s unique brand and allowed them to be the leader of the market in the future.

The robust concrete wall of the primary containment tank can take out-of-plane bending loads and is not susceptible to buckling, such as elephant-foot buckling, that steel inner tanks face. Once the wall panels are fully integrated by wire wrapping, the concrete wall can sustain the full wind load without bracing. No resilient blanket is needed to protect the concrete wall from buckling under the pressure of the settling perlite insulation in the annular space.
The bottom of the walls can move radially and, thus, avoid building up constraining forces at the wall/foundation joint. This is in contrast to conventional cast-in-place secondary tank walls that are monolithically connected with the base slab and need to be designed for large constraining loads during a spill. As a result, conventional monolithic wall connections need a thermal corner protection (TCP) to control cracking in this area. A precast concrete wall with sliding support does not need TCP. Resistance to circumferential shear and wall uplift is provided by a combination of shear lugs and restraining cables that allow the wall to slide radially, but constrain it in vertical and circumferential direction.
The shotcrete layer on the tank exterior provides a durable concrete surface. The outer shotcrete layer may be reinforced with fibers or provided with an additional insulation layer to improve the wall's resistance to external fire and missile impact.

For decades researchers have known about the ability of ultraviolet light, to sanitize, purify and also sanitize surface areas and things – called Germicidal UV (likewise known as UV-C). Recently, germicidal UV light assisted stop the spread of various pathogens like the influenza and other superbugs. Yet can germicidal UV likewise deal with the unique coronavirus (or COVID-19)? Sanitizer Pack Amazon
The COVID-19 circumstance is quickly transforming, and also it’s causing top priorities to shift for a lot of us. Safeguarding individuals, consumers, employees, as well as our households is more important than ever. Sanitizing regularly utilized surfaces is exceptionally crucial, and UV light is really effective at eliminating pathogens like infections and also bacteria.
Many germicidal UV items have pathogen kill rates greater than a 99.9% rate. Because of their efficiency, they’re exceptionally beneficial right now in the house.
Are At-Home UV Sanitizers Well Worth It?
Health centers have embraced ultraviolet (UV) lights as a cleaning tool for several years, making use of huge, industrial-grade equipments to decontaminate areas. Now, smaller variations of UV sanitation lights are offered to the general customer. So you can clean up basically anything, from phones to toilet seats. Sanitizer Pack Amazon
At-home UV Sterilizers are extremely effective at getting rid of bacteria and viruses.
- Ultraviolet (UV) light destroys the molecular bonds that hold together the DNA of infections and microorganisms.
- UV light is a particularly good option for sanitation because it eliminates bacteria no matter drug resistance and without poisonous chemicals.
- Home approaches of UV sanitation have been shown highly reliable against pathogens and also be available in a variety of types– consisting of portable wands, phone sanitizers, as well as tooth brush cleansers.
What Can UV Sterilizers Be Used For?
Just recently licensed sex instructor Gigi Engle was inquired about cleansing her work “devices”. Engle makes use of a UV-light sterilization pouch to clean her sex toys of microorganisms that might lead to yeast infections or microbial vaginosis. According to her, UV light is far more convenient than soap and water. “You just need to rub out your toys and pop them in the pouch as well as you’re done,” she claims.
That makes us question: If UV light is much better than soap at cleaning up sex toys, what else might it work for cleaning?
There is such a variety of UV Santizers and also Purifiers available, you can clean up virtually anything you desire;
- Mobile phones – these are especially filthy!
- Surfaces – making use of a mobile or wand UV sanitizer.
- Areas – making use of an area based UV sanitiser.
- Water – Can be detoxified either by the glass, or at the resource.
- Air Purifier – UV purifiers are now made use of to circulate as well as clean air in any type of area
- Infant products – UV Light boxes for sanitizing child bottles as well as playthings etc.
- Personal Charm products – these can trigger all type of issues otherwise maintained clean.
Look into a list below for even more information.
So What is UV-C or Germicidal Ultraviolet Light?
Germicidal UV or UV-C is part of the ultraviolet range best recognized for its capacity to suspend pathogens like microorganisms as well as infections. It utilizes particular wavelengths of the ultraviolet spectrum, generally between 200 to 280 nanometers.
Germicidal UV is normally used to decontaminate rooms and surfaces. Germs and Infection like COVID-19 can reside on particular surface areas for up to 3 days, so it’s essential to disinfect at normal periods.
Although the scientific research behind germicidal UV has been around for a very long time, it hasn’t been commonly used till lately. The CDC as well as FEMA began to back the use in healthcare facilities in the early 2000s. Since then, several medical evaluations have actually noted the effectiveness as well as use has jumped in the last 13 years.
Does UV Light Eliminate Germs?
The 3 primary sorts of UV rays are UVA, UVB, and also UVC. Because UVC rays have the quickest wavelength, and also as a result greatest power, they are capable of killing bacteria and also infections, likewise called pathogens.
UVC light has a wavelength of in between 200 as well as 400 nanometres (nm). It is highly efficient at decontamination due to the fact that it damages the molecular bonds that hold together the DNA of infections and also microorganisms, consisting of “superbugs,” which have created a more powerful resistance to antibiotics.
Powerful UVC light has been frequently utilized to decontaminate surgical devices as well as hospital rooms. A research study that included 21,000 people who stayed overnight in a room where somebody had been previously treated found that sterilizing a hospital room with UV light along with conventional techniques of cleaning cut transmission of drug-resistant bacteria by 30%.
This is partially because UVC light can efficiently disinfect hard-to-clean spaces and crannies. UVC light additionally works by damaging the DNA of pathogens, which makes it reliable versus “superbugs.”.
Scientists have actually just recently been collaborating with narrow-spectrum UVC rays (207-222 nm). This type of UVC light kills microorganisms and also viruses without permeating the outermost cell layer of human skin.
Killing germs and also viruses with UV light is particularly efficient because it kills bacteria regardless of drug resistance as well as without harmful chemicals. It is also reliable against all germs, also newly-emerging microorganism strains.
How To Use a UV Light To Eliminate Bacteria In Your Home
UVC Light Sanitizers are currently offered to customers as well as come in various types, including light boxes, containers, and also covered wands. Each has its very own collection of directions for just how to use the light to kill bacteria, with specifics on points like how long the sanitation takes and, when it comes to sticks, exactly how close it needs to be to the object you’re attempting to sterilize. Larger box-shaped versions fit tablets, playthings, and also child containers.
One 2008 research study checked the efficiency of the VIOlight, a $US30 toothbrush sanitizer that claims to clear your toothbrush of disease-forming bacteria. The research study located that, compared to a toothbrush that had actually not been treated with ultraviolet light, the VIOlight did away with 86% more colony-forming devices of S. salivarius, lactobacilli, as well as E. coli. These microorganisms can create strep throat, digestion troubles, and a variety of various other ailments.
Sanitizing sticks enable you to swing UVC light over anything you could intend to sanitize, consisting of counters, bed linen, and also steering wheels. The wands can be utilized anywhere, work within secs, and also are often used by travellers concerned concerning things like resort space sanitation.
A 2014 research study tested the effectiveness of these mobile wands and also located that they killed 100% of commonly-found microorganisms within five secs as well as inactivated 90% of spore-forming germs, which are tougher to kill, within 40 seconds.
Can Germicidal UV Light Kill Viruses Like Covid-19?
Germicidal UV lights can in fact change the DNA and RNA of bacteria as well as viruses, destroying their capacity to reproduce. Infections are not living microorganisms, so germicidal UV can not technically “kill” them. Instead, we can state germicidal UV “suspends” infections, however it does eliminate microorganisms.
Fortunately it that while germs might be resistant to various other things like prescription antibiotics, they can not build up a resistance to UV light.
A recent research study by Columbia College tested the use of UV light to eliminate the Corona Virus, or COVID-19. Lead researcher Dr David Brenner told Reuters, “A very low exposure to far-UVC light killed more than 99.9 percent of the subjected infection.”.
The research study, released just recently in Scientific Reports, made use of coronaviruses that create acute rhinitis. “Yet in our succeeding recurring research studies we have found that the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 is killed in just the same method by far-UVC light,” Dr Brenner claimed. Sanitizer Pack Amazon
So the straightforward solution is Yes! UV-C Germicidal ultraviolet light can be made use of to efficiently kill Covid-19.
Advantages of Germicidal UV Lights
Germicidal UV lights are exceptionally effective and have numerous significant advantages.
- Pathogen kill rate– Tests reveal that germicidal UV items kill up to 99.9% of germs and also infections when utilized appropriately. On top of that, germs and pathogens can not come to be resistant to UV like they can particular anti-biotics as well as antibacterial products.
- Limited chemical exposure– UV-C operates in place of possibly hazardous chemicals. It’s secure to go into a space after germicidal UV products decontaminate the location, but it could be tough to take in an area that has just been sprayed down with chemicals.
- Lighting setups– There are several lights configurations for germicidal UV light, consisting of different sorts of fixture setup, mobile systems, and industrial COOLING AND HEATING add-ons. Mobile devices are a fantastic choice for health centers, flight terminals, fire and also police stations, and also the friendliness market due to the fact that they’re very easy to relocate from room to area.

Are UV Light Sanitizers Safe?
Recent studies show certain wavelengths of UV light may be much safer than others while still targeting microorganisms and infections. Far-UVC lamps make use of a narrow variety of UV-C wavelengths, from 207 to 222 nm.
Far-UVC is thought to be just as effective at eliminating germs as higher ranges of UV-C light, however less damaging to our skin and eyes. One research study particularly concentrates on using far-UVC light. The research concluded that 222 nm UV can suspend microorganisms however not pass through the skin.
A particular range of ultraviolet light, much UV-C, “efficiently suspends bacteria without harm to revealed mammalian skin,” according to a research study released in Nature. “This is because, as a result of its solid absorbance in biological materials, far-UVC light can not permeate also the external (non living) layers of human skin or eye; however, because bacteria and infections are of micrometer or smaller sized dimensions, far-UVC can pass through and also inactivate them.”.
Research like this Nature study reveals that far-UVC lamps can remove even airborne viruses without damaging people, therefore we can picture a globe in which going through airport terminal safety and security or going into a medical facility involves going through a UV purification chamber.
Just How UV Light Eliminates Microbes
Infections do not recreate on their own, but they do have genetic material, either DNA or RNA. They replicate by connecting to cells and also injecting their DNA.

If you have actually ever obtained a sunburn, you’ve had a taste of exactly how UV light eliminates viruses: UV light can harm DNA. A DNA molecule is constructed from 2 strands bound with each other by 4 bases, adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and also thymine (T). These bases are like an alphabet, as well as their sequence kinds guidelines for cells to replicate.
UV light can trigger thymine bases to fuse together, rushing the DNA sequence and also essentially throwing a wrench into the machinery. Considering that the DNA sequence is no longer appropriate, it can no more duplicate correctly. This is how UV light obliterates infections, by damaging their capacity to reproduce.
Utilizing UV Light to Eliminate Germs

Therefore, hand sanitizer, scrubing alcohol, as well as other disinfectants are presently in short supply.
With man-made sanitizers in restricted supply, many are counting on nature’s anti-bacterial: ultraviolet light. UV irradiation has long been made use of to sterilize things and areas, so it makes good sense to question: Can UV light kill coronavirus?
You recognize a sunburn is not actually a melt, best? Not a shed such as you would receive from intense exposure to a warm range or an open flame. Sunburns are actually radiation damages brought on by ultraviolet light. In the short term, this UV direct exposure causes soreness, discomfort and peeling; in the long term, too much unguarded direct exposure to sunlight can cause skin cancer.
There’s a silver lining here, though: the exact same UV light (particularly UV-C light, which has a wavelength in between 200 as well as 280 nanometers, while visible lights smallest wavelength procedures 380 nm) that damages the extremely DNA of human skin gradually can be utilized and made use of to kill off bacteria in a matter of minutes.

People usually go to Airbnb to find a place to sleep while visiting a new city. But some tourists have a somewhat different idea altogether.
That was apparently the case when a group of tourists decided to turn their rented one-bedroom Airbnb pad in Canonbury, London, UK into a full-fledged nightclub. Full-fledged in the sense that it had a a DJ, bouncer and a professional sound system set up. And yes, they even charged tickets to enter the flat and managed to draw a 200+ crowd that spilled into the street.
“It sounded like fabric was upstairs,” one neighbor said. “It was just the constant bass thud. We saw one guy carrying in DJ equipment.”
Unfortunately, the pad was located in a residential area, and as such the event frustrated the neighbors trying to get some rest for the night.
“It was like a football crowd,” said another neighbor who was at home at the time with his pregnant wife. “It was the worst night ever. I could hear the music louder than if I was playing it in my own living room.”
The owner of the flat was out of the country at the time. Upon hearing the news, he felt “terrible and couldn’t do anything.”
The local town council members first attempted to put the party to the stop but weren’t able to do so. Eventually, the police arrived at 3AM though they decided to wait for backup due to the size of the crowd.
Police started clearing out the party after 4:30AM, with the party ultimately ending shortly after 6AM

Back In The Day, This Quiet Kentucky Town Was A Mob Mecca
Not all of Kentucky’s past is warm and fuzzy. In fact, quite a bit of its history is filled with stories of scandal and crime. One particular small town in Northern Kentucky may be known as a quiet and entertaining historic city now, but back in the day it was once known as the original “Sin City.” Las Vegas had nothing on Newport, Kentucky, as this town was well known as a vibrant, Mob mecca.
Newport is still about entertainment today, but thankfully it’s more of a mecca for families seeking innocent fun rather than mobsters looking to get into trouble. Did you know about Newport’s intriguing history? Let us know what you think in the comments!

I’m reading these days about the history of opera, specifically the fall of the castrati and rise of the soprano, and thus the aria, and I remembered this, which I wrote in 1994:
That’s a scan from our high school’s literary magazine. I’m proud of this thing, and I like—playing it for the first time in 25 years via musical typing on Garageband—that I chose C minor, of all keys. I also find it very funny. The dynamics!

Belgian Hot-Shot Confirms Move Plans After Declaring Love For Arsenal
Highly-rated Belgian striker Michy Batshuayi has issued a ‘come and get me plea’ to Arsene Wenger after declaring his love for Arsenal.
The 20-year-old has been attracting interest from some of Europe’s top clubs after a fine season with Standard Liege where he’s currently the top scorer in the Jupiler Pro League with 18 goals.
We were linked with him last summer and again in January, and it seems the youngster has decided this will be his last season with Liege and has his eye on a move to England or Germany.
Batshuayi also revealed that his preferred destination would be the Emirates due to the clubs ‘philosophy’ of breeding young talent and claims he’s loved Arsenal since he was a child. He told Belgian TV station La Tribune:
“Unfortunately I do not think I’ll stay (at Standard past the summer),”
“Many things can happen but I am someone who has ambitions. I want to progress as quickly as possible. I’ll make a choice with my agents and my family. I must consider my choices carefully.”
“I am interested in the German and English championships. They are physical and technical championships.
“Personally, I like Arsenal. There is a good philosophy at the club, where trust is given to young players.
“This is a very technical team playing good football, and since I was little this was a team who I liked. I’ve loved the club from childhood.” [source: Mirror]
Batshuayi is contracted to Liege until 2018 but is understood to have a buy-out clause worth €8m written into his deal, so the Belgians will be powerless to prevent him leaving if someone matches that figure.
€8m, or £6.7m, would be a reasonable price for a player of his potential but if he did join I wouldn’t consider him anything other than a back-up to Olivier Giroud and the world class striker we’re hopefully going to buy this summer.
However, with the likes of Joel Campbell returning to the club and Yaya Sanogo already on the books, I don’t really see a place for Batshuayi at Arsenal.

THE QUEEN has purchased UKP 50,000 worth of shares in internet based music company Poptones.
The new media company is run by Alan McGee, former boss of Creation Records, whose artists included Oasis and Primal Scream. McGee is known for his anti-establishment views and it is unclear what his reaction will be to the blue blooded investment in his new firm.
Her Majesty's representatives purchase shares across a wide range of companies and industries. It is thought highly unlikely HM will have been made aware of this investment in what is an overtly republican organisation.
