UrbaWind is an automatic CFD software solution for wind modeling in the built environment. This tool is dedicated to work-oriented applications: natural ventilation, wind energy, and pedestrian wind comfort. The local wind statistics (speed and direction) of any place in the world is integrated in the software. The outputs are user friendly and can be visualized in 3D. Screen Shots
CFD, wind simulation, wind energy, natural ventilation, pedestrian comfort
The results have been validated against wind tunnel testing, on-site measurements and standard CFD packages used for wind modeling by wind energy experts (The Bolund experiment, Risoe 2009). Validations have been presented at various international conferences such as International Small Wind Conference (Watford, UK – April 2009), New Zealand Wind Energy Conference (Palmerston North, NZ – March 2010) and AWEA Wind Power Conference (Dallas, TX – May 2010).
No previous experience in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is required. Meteodyn offers one-day training courses for new users. The training includes a theoretical part and a hands-on part with case studies. The training can be done at the user’s office location or in one of the Meteodyn offices in the United States, France, or China. The software license includes technical support by e-mail and phone.
The users of UrbaWind include engineering consultants, research centers, and universities from the United States, Spain, France, England, Portugal, and China.
UrbaWind is targeted toward building engineers, architects, urban planners, and wind turbine installers.
The user needs to define the buildings and vegetation with computer assisted documents (STL format). The topography can be input as STL format if the terrain is not flat. The ground roughness can be designed in a grid point format (xyz) to define the ground type (water, asphalt, or grass). The computation mesh and the boundary conditions are automatically generated.
A wind database is already integrated in the software for the whole world. The user can also use its own on-site measurements (as a text file with statistics of speeds and directions).
Outputs formats are Excel files, text , and 3D visualizations. Results can be on solid contours or as vectors on horizontal and vertical planes. Outputs include wind characteristics by direction (wind speeds, turbulence, pressure, and wind gust) and work-oriented results for wind energy (mean wind speeds, annual wind energy production, Weibull coefficients), natural ventilation (air debits and renewal rate in buildings by season), and pedestrian comfort (comfort maps).
Windows 7, XP, Vista. Parallel computations can be done on a multicore computer. The minimum configuration is 2 GHz with 4 GB of RAM and a graphical card of 256 Mo.
Net C# and Fortran
UrbaWind is the only automatic CFD software for wind modeling in the built environment. The solver is robust. Calculations are fast and results are work-oriented.
For natural ventilation in tropical humid regions, UrbaWind can be used as a stand-alone program for the thermal studies in the buildings.
UrbaWind cannot be used for calculating wind extreme pressure on buildings for building construction. The software does not include thermal calculations. For natural ventilation in a temperate climate, the software has to be coupled with a thermal software solution.

Article by Luca Molnar
If you are an art lover, just like me then you have probably realized that having a great technique has somehow became an old-fashioned thing. At the same time everything that is ‘shocking’ or ‘strange’ has been labeled as ‘creative’. One may find oneself confused and lost about which way to go as an artist and it is surely a reasonable question. In order to find answer to our question, let’s take a closer look at ‘creativity’ and ‘technique’ and what these words really mean.
Through centuries and probably ever since humans started painting and expressing themselves through arts, artists have been thriving for a greater knowledge regarding technique. This was the main reason why painters were also scientist for hundreds of years. The old masters were restlessly searching for more vibrant colours and were perfecting…
Article by Luca Molnar
Have you ever heard of William-Adolphe Bouguereau? Or the old technique of glazing? I don’t blame you if you haven’t yet.
Bouguereau was a famous Franch painter in the 19th century, who died more than a hundred years ago in 1905. He studied the academic style (the technique of the great renaissance masters) for years as a young artist, and perfected his knowledge in the almost forgotten, mysterious technique of the renaissance masters. He became one of the best and most celebrated painters of his generation; and a true master of his profession at a very young age. In 1850, at the tender age of 26 Bouguereau completed his famous painting, Zenobia Found by Shepherds on the Banks of the Araxes, which clearly shows his amazing talent and unmatchable skills and knowledge. An art critic stated at the time “Bouguereau has a natural instinct and knowledge of contour. The eurythmie of the human body preoccupies him, and in recalling the happy results which, in this genre, the ancients and the artists of the sixteenth century arrived at, one can only congratulate Bouguereau in attempting to follow in their footsteps … Raphael was inspired by the ancients … and no one accused him of not being original.” But what was this technique? What was the secret behind his larger than life paintings?…

The event, which will run from August 1-31 will celebrate the start of Bahamian Lobster season, and menus will feature a number of dishes including freshly caught lobster as well as lots of fresh seafood, Bahamian classics and internationally inspired options.Each of the participating restaurants will offer a prix fixe menu inclusive of an appetizer, entree, and dessert, all for one set price. Menu offerings will include dishes like fresh catch Curried Rock Lobster Tail with Cilantro Coconut Cream & Ginger, Minced Lobster, Cracked Lobster, and Lobster Fritters, among a selection of other flavorful options.Grand Bahama has over 120 restaurants, beachfront eateries, and unique food stalls.
The GBI Restaurant Fest is intended to give food lovers a taste of the island’s culinary scene by highlighting the diverse range of options to be enjoyed.“There is so much to see, do, experience and eat on Grand Bahama Island,” noted Meshell Britton, Grand Bahama Island Restaurant Fest Committee Member. “You can enjoy a different restaurant – a different culinary experience – every single day of the week, and we are excited to showcase the exceptional talents of Grand Bahama chefs during the event.”Nikia Wells, Grand Bahama Island Restaurant Fest Public Relations and Graphic Design Lead added, “Grand Bahama has always had an extremely rich and diverse food scene. You can find everything from Japanese to Mediterranean to Italian cuisine on the island. And, we wanted to help develop an outlet for the chefs and restaurants to really flex their creativity in the kitchen while also supporting local fishermen during lobster season.”The GBI Restaurant Fest, which is being hosted by the Grand Bahama Island Promotion Board, will begin on August 1, but there will be many more exciting cultural and culinary events happening throughout Grand Bahama, all summer long.“One of the unique elements about Grand Bahama is that you can enjoy a down-home family island experience on one night and a gourmet journey the next,” noted Carmel Churchill, Grand Bahama Island Restaurant Fest Recruitment Lead.
“This year, the Fish Fry celebrated its 40th anniversary, and is a must visit each Wednesday for flavor packed fish that is cooked over a wood burning open flame. The weekends are also a perfect time to get moist, fluffy panny cakes and pickled conch salad, which are two of the island’s specialties.”Grand Bahama Island Restaurant Fest Committee Member Josene Brockbank added, “Food is such an important component of our culture. We celebrate with food. We welcome visitors into our homes with food. We show love and appreciation with food. And, we are excited to allow residents and visitors a chance to come together, relax and truly enjoy the spirit of the island through the exceptional dishes that the chefs are bringing to the table during the event.”Additional restaurants are still being added to the Grand Bahama Island Restaurant Fest lineup. The complete 2023 GBI Restaurant Fest participating restaurants listing and menus will be announced on the Visit Grand Bahama Island social media pages during the week of July 24.

The history of the exploration of Central Asia
The research history of Central Asia
Central Asia: the region and its researchers
For the first time Central Asia (hereafter CA) as a separate region was allocated by the German geographer and traveler, founder of General earth Sciences of Alexander von Humboldt (1841). This term he identified all the internal parts of the Asian continent, stretching between the Caspian sea in the West and a rather undefined border in the East. A more precise definition of CA gave another German geographer Ferdinand Richthofen, in fact, divided the region into two parts. Actually CA, Richthofen, covers the area from Tibet in the South to the Altai in the North and from the Pamir in the West to Khingan in the East. The Aral-Caspian lowland the Richthofen took to the transition zone. In the Soviet geographical tradition was carried out the separation of the whole Central Asian region to Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan) and Central Asia (Mongolia and Western China, including Tibet). The same approach has largely been preserved and in the 1990 – 2000‑ies.
CA studied by Russian expeditions in the nineteenth – early twentieth century, it is, strictly speaking, Chinese Central Asia – Mongolia, Western China (Chinese Turkistan) and Tibet . which was the part of the Chinese Empire. This region in English literature also often referred to as Inland or Mountain Asia ( Inner Asia , High Asia ).
The total area of CA is about 6 million sq. km. and its Surface form numerous gravelly or sandy plains, fringed or intersected by mountain ranges. Its topography CA is divided into three zones, stretching from West to East:
The beginning of a systematic study of CA put two trips in a region of the Tien Shan mountains – “Heavenly mountains– – in 1856 and 1857 P. P. Semyonov, better known as Semenov Tyan-Shansky (1827–1914). Semenov conducted the first comprehensive study of this mountain system, and its method was successfully used later in other Russian travelers.
The opportunity to organize expeditions in Central Asia the Imperial Russian geographical society received only after the conclusion between Russia and China, the Tianjin and Beijing treaties (1858 and 1860). Initially, however, it was a short drive for General acquaintance with the natural features of the areas near the Russian border (Mongolia, Manchuria). The era of big – many years – expeditions in Central Asia, covering their routes the vast territory in the mainland, began in 1870, when the N. M. Przhevalsky set out on their first journey through Mongolia and China.
The period of the most intensive research by Russian expeditions have on the 1870s – 1890-ies. The greatest contribution to the scientific development of the region has made a dazzling array of travellers – N. M. Przhevalsky, M. V. Pevtsov, G. N. OnTAning, G. E. Grumm-Grzhimailo, V. A. Obruchev, P. K. Kozlov, the discoverers and pioneers of many hard-to-reach areas of Central Asia. The initiator and organizer of all the expeditions to Central Asia, has always represented the Russian Geographical Society, founded in St. Petersburg in 1845.
N. M. Przewalski – the most outstanding Russian explorers of Central Asia. From 1870 to 1885 he undertook four major expeditions in Mongolia, China and Northern frontiers of Tibet. As a result of these travels were first studied in detail in fact then-unknown areas of the basin of the Tarim and North of Tibet and explored large areas of Central Asia. Przhevalsky was shooting more than 30 thousand km of traveled way and astronomically identified hundreds of heights and locations, giving the exact reference to the maps. In addition, he managed to collect extensive mineralogical, Botanical and Zoological collections.
He discovered and described a wild camel, wild horse – the Dzungarian horse (Przewalski’s horse) and other vertebrate species.
Scientific results of the expeditions of Przhevalsky set out in a number of books that give a vivid picture of the nature and characteristics of relief, climate, rivers, lakes investigated territories. Przhevalsky’s name was given the town on the shore of Issyk-Kul (Karakol), a ridge in the system of the Kunlun, a glacier in Altai, and a number of species of animals and plants opened by the traveler.
As an officer of the Russian army, Przewalski invariably traveled with a military convoy of Cossacks (Russians and Buryats), and the equipment of his expedition, along with the RGS, was also attended by military Department (General Staff), which thus had an opportunity to gather information about neighbouring to Russia countries.

Aralia elata var. mandshurica (Rupr. & Maxim.) J.Wen: An overview of pharmacological studies
- Shikov, Alexander N., Pozharitskaya, Olga N., Makarov, Valery G.
- Phytomedicine 2016 v.23 no.12 pp. 1409-1421
- Aralia elata, Ca2-transporting ATPase, animals, antioxidant activity, apoptosis, atmospheric pressure, biosynthesis, blood coagulation, blood glucose, brain, caspase-12, clinical trials, cold stress, cytokines, cytotoxicity, gastrointestinal system, gene expression regulation, glycemic effect, hyperinsulinemia, hypotension, lipids, mechanism of action, medicinal plants, medicinal properties, metabolic syndrome, mitogen-activated protein kinase, neoplasm cells, nervous system diseases, new drugs, obesity, oxygen consumption, patients, phosphorylation, pregnant women, professionals, protein synthesis, risk, sarcoplasmic reticulum, secondary metabolites, traditional medicine, transcription factor NF-kappa B, ultraviolet radiation, Russia, USSR
- Aralia elata var. mandshurica (Rupr. & Maxim.) J.Wen syn. A. mandshurica Rupr. & Maxim is evaluated for its medicinal application. The aim of this study is to analyze pharmacological studies on A. elata var. mandshurica published until December 2015.The information regarding the chemistry, safety, effectiveness, and pharmacological and clinical effects of A. elata was systematically collected from the scientific literature through library catalogs; online services such as E-library.ru, Medline/PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.A. elata is often considered an example of a medicinal plant used in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese traditional medicine. However, the contemporary applications of Aralia in officinal medicine result primarily from a large number of pharmacological and clinical investigations carried out in the former USSR in the mid-20th century. Since the 1950s, medicinal preparations from radices of A. elata and radices of A. mandshurica have secured an established position within Russian/USSR medicine as evidenced by the inclusion of the drug in recent editions of the National Pharmacopoeia of the USSR and in the Register of Medicinal Preparations of Russia. Pharmacological studies on animals have shown that Aralia increases physical working capacity and affords a stress-protective effect against a broad spectrum of harmful factors including cold stress, immobilization, UV irradiation, and low air pressure. The phytoadaptogen exerts an effect on the central nervous, reproductive, immune, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems; the metabolic syndrome including hypolipidemic and antidiabetic effects; and blood coagulation. Together with general properties of adaptogens, Aralia has its own specificity, which manifests in cardioprotective and antiarrhythmic activities. Studies on isolated organs, cells, and enzymes have revealed that Aralia preparations exhibit antioxidant activities and enhance sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca²⁺-ATPase activity, inhibit endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated apoptosis markers (GRP78, CHOP, Caspase-12, and JNK), and increase phosphorylation of STAT3 and Bcl2/Bax ratio; they also show cytotoxic activities against some tumor cell lines; affect NF-κB and PPARs activities; and regulate biosynthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inflammation-related protein expression, tissue respiration, and oxygen consumption. In healthy subjects, Aralia increases mental performance, working capacity, and endurance of movement. Numerous clinical trials have shown the efficiency of Aralia preparations in patients with traumatic brain injury (accompanied with asthenic syndrome and neurotic reactions, depression, neurasthenia, and psychasthenia), neurological diseases (accompanied with astheno-depressive and astheno-hypochondriasis syndromes), myasthenia syndrome (accompanied with chronic post-influenza arachnoiditis), and arterial hypotension. Aralia tincture and “Saparal” are useful as antiviral remedies. Radioprotective properties of Aralia have been reported in pregnant women. Synergistic antiobesity effect was reported for the combination of A. mandshurica and Engelhardtia chrysolepis extracts and antidiabetic effect for the combination of Aralia and glipizide.Promising stress-relieving effects of Aralia are reported for professionals whose work requires a high level of attention. Its proposed ability to moderate stress-induced damage and dysfunction in the cardiovascular tissue might make Aralia the adaptogen of choice among patients with higher risk for cardiovascular diseases. Because Aralia extract administration appears to affect plasma glucose level and hepatic lipid accumulation and ameliorate hyperinsulinemia, it might also provide benefits and be the adaptogen of choice for patients with obesity and diabetes.This review describes the considerable diversity of pharmacological effects of A. elata reported in numerous studies carried out in the former USSR and other countries, which have been confirmed over >47 years of use of the plant as an official medicinal remedy. The knowledge discussed in this review can be applied to the expansion of the use of this high-value plant in the pharmacotherapy of European and other countries and for the further discovery of new drugs based on the secondary metabolites of this plant. Modern approaches in mechanisms of action, including a study of gene expression profiling, suggest the most up-to-date challenges for the future research of Aralia.

Like so many US cities, Boston is pushing hard to be selected for Amazon’s new headquarters, dubbed Amazon HQ2. This well-intentioned effort is filled with special incentives, but that’s nothing compared to what we’re really putting at risk: our most precious natural resource: our brains.
Amazon HQ2 would make it harder for Boston startups to innovate, and to attract and retain talent. The promise of fifty thousand new jobs may sound enticing, but in reality, we will see fifty thousand lost opportunities to start new companies, solve big problems, launch unique local retailers, or join one of the many companies already doing those things.
Looking out my window at the snow and cold, they are clearly not after our weather. Amazon would choose Boston for one main reason: we have lots of smart people doing smart things. Boston (and its surrounding environs) is one of the most important manufacturers of smart people. MIT alone has created companies that have generated values greater than the GDP of most countries — not to mention ideas generated at schools, like Harvard, Boston University, Boston College, UMass, Tufts, Northeastern, Emerson, Babson, and others. The Boston area has lots of rich talent, and Amazon wants access to it.
Our intentions may seem obvious. At Promoboxx, we provide a retail marketing platform that allows brands to support their local retailers. Our core value is believe in retailers. So, of course, Promoboxx can’t support Amazon. Right? To our retailers, Amazon is the big bully, the Godzilla, the Darth Vader, the “he who shall not be named.”
This is more perception than reality. Collectively our local retailers sell things like appliances, bikes, cars, specialty running shoes and other considered purchases that people just don’t buy on Amazon. They have no reason to fear Amazon, but we do.
The promise of fifty thousand jobs will bring some new people to the state, but it will also cannibalize the local companies who are already fighting over a precious group of talent. Talent that would otherwise help build startups and solve cutting-edge, real-world problems will be monopolized by the lure of Amazon and big company benefits. In a community that derives much of its identity from its innovation sector, Amazon HQ2 is a real threat.
In the end, if Amazon chooses Boston, we’ll understand. The greater Boston area is full of culture, strong independent businesses, and pride — not to mention a great place to raise a family. Our government officials should be careful not to give up too many special incentives, but rather consider using those to support the local businesses that really drive the innovation and jobs in this state.

IIT Kanpur and IIT Hyderabad have predicted the third wave of Covid in mid-August that will see a rise in cases in October, but top microbiologist and virologist, Dr Gagandeep Kang said that this will depend on the type of variants, and added that if they are more infectious, then cases can increase at the same pace as the first wave.
According to Dr Kang, who is the vice-chair for the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Board, "The third wave depends on type of variants or strains, and if driven by variant, it becomes very difficult to predict the numbers."
Reopening of schools
As cases in past few weeks decreased significantly, Kang on Thursday said that schools should be reopened in a phased manner with vaccinated teachers and staff. She said, "The schools should be reopened in a phased manner and they should be frequently sanitised. Social distancing should be maintained in the classrooms and all staff must be vaccinated."
She said that the protection of inoculation is needed for those children who have comorbidity conditions.

We booked this restaurant for our 25th wedding anniversary at Stratford Manor weekend spa break. The only bookings they had left two weeks ahead of time was from 8.30pm onwards. We arrived early and they were wonderful to accommodate us, however, even at 8pm the two dishes we ordered had both run out. We were disappointed. The staff were very helpful in offering two free starters and two free drinks. The food was good when it arrived but not excellent. Overall a good experience and we would eat there again.

First issue was that we had to wait an hour for our food and then when it arrived my wife's order of Sea Bass just had a piece of fish on top of a couple of green beans and one tortellini on top - if we'd been made aware by the staff beforehand that this is what you get then we would have ordered a side. I has the butterfried chicken which was ok but the chips were cold and rubbery. Felt sorry for the staff as they did try their best to help but overall we were not impressed at all with the food especially considering the prices and the fact that the meal was for a special occasion.

The member of staff that served myself and my husband was a polite and helpful young man. Unfortunately the meal I had (butterfly chicken with tarragon sauce) was poor quality. The chicken was really overcooked as were the onion rings. The whole plate was disappointing.

Praise, reserved for the young man who seated and served us, who did all he could to make our visit pleasant. Unfortunately the standard of food was poor, with my wife’s chicken overcooked and fries either burnt or practically raw(not sure how the chef achieved that) My Hake was also overdone. Deserts were good, although didn’t need cooking so not a surprise. Found restaurant to be rather dark, in general , poor mains spoilt the dining experience .

Further to yesterdays review the Restaurant manager assured us we would have a better experience. We and other guests staying at the hotel turned up at the restaurant at 19.00 to find the place in darkness. Reception informed us that they had shut the restaurant for a couple of days because they hadn’t enough guests!!!! They did not have the courtesy to inform anyone “because it was a last missed decision “ The dinner was to celebrate our 52nd. Wedding anniversary. We were offered bar meals, basically burgers, pizza etc. this did not impress my wife.!!!!!, particularly as we had to try and find a meal at 20.00 on a Monday night. We complained to the hotel manager and left a day early. To be fair she did refund the cost of my wifes meal from the night before.

I informed the restaurant that I was dairy intolerant which I reminded them on the day. The food served was a small overcooked piece of sea bass on burnt mange tout and green veg. It looked and tasted dry and dreadful. No attempt had been made to replace the sauce and the crab tortellini presumably removed due to dairy. It cost £25 and the chef could not be bothered to replace the sauce which an average pub would have done with no problem.

Good food with exceptional and very attentive service. The decor was clean and looked after. Not sure why I have to have 120 characters, isn't that an essay?

The staff were really friendly and the service was quick. Although the mains menu was limited the steak and lamb were cooked to perfection. The spacing of the tables meant that we could relax and talk without disruption.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Nov. 1, 2011) – Mickey Mouse celebrates the holidays with a cartoon-style Christmas tree this season as new décor adds merriment to Mickey’s Toontown for the 2011 holidays at Disneyland Resort. The holidays shine brightly throughout the resort from Nov. 14, 2011, through Jan. 8, 2012, as guests create memories for a lifetime.
Those holiday memories might even appear in the nightly “The Magic, The Memories, and You!” show on the façade of “it’s a small world” in Disneyland park. A new segment of the show, specially added for the season, features a musical score filled with favorite holiday tunes and images of resort guests celebrating their holiday visits. As the presentation unfolds, the façade of “it’s a small world” Holiday is frozen in ice, decorated with wreaths and candy canes, wrapped in Christmas paper, and even turned into a giant snow globe. This new segment appears in “The Magic, The Memories and You!” beginning Friday, Nov. 18.
Nearby, in Mickey’s Toontown, the centerpiece of the new holiday décor is an 18-foot cartoon-style Christmas tree in front of Toontown City Hall. Sculpted garlands and wreaths adorn the Toontown gazebo and add holiday cheer to the Gag Warehouse. The personal Christmas trees in the front yards of Mickey’s and Minnie’s houses also carry the “toon” theme. On Main Street, U.S.A., Disneyland welcomes back the traditional, 60-foot-tall Christmas tree that is a popular guest photo location.
In Disney California Adventure park, guests are treated to a jolly seasonal addition to the “World of Color” nighttime water spectacular. This holiday season, Lanny and Wayne, Santa’s techno-savvy elves from the “Prep & Landing” holiday specials, appear in a “World of Color” sequence.
Disneyland Resort also welcomes back all the guest favorites for the holidays. Among the popular offerings are “A Christmas Fantasy” parade, the nightly snowfall on Main Street, U.S.A, and special holiday versions of“it’s a small world” and Haunted Mansion. In Fantasyland, holiday guests will find the traditional snowdrifts and icicles adorning Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle. After dark, a sensational holiday lighting and special-effects show carries the magic of the holidays from the castle all the way to the Christmas tree in Town Square. The 60-foot-tall Disneyland Christmas tree is specially designed to present a nightly holiday light show like no other with more than 62,000 energy-efficient LED lights.
The Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle presentation unfolds throughout the evening in three acts, each of them featuring a touch of winter snow on Main Street, U.S.A. The finale of the show includes the legendary “Believe … in Holiday Magic” fireworks show, which takes guests on a journey of sights and sounds of the season and ends with a touching rendition of “White Christmas,” along with a climactic snowfall swirling down on Main Street, U.S.A., “it’s a small world” Mall and New Orleans Square.
“A Christmas Fantasy” parade has become a holiday tradition in Disneyland. Guests enjoy watching as Disney characters celebrate the magic of the season, wrapping gifts, baking holiday treats and preparing for the arrival of Santa Claus, who shouts a jolly greeting to spectators along the parade route. Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse even take to the ice for some skating fun.
At The Disney Gallery on Main Street, U.S.A., in Disneyland, a display of vintage and new art celebrating Walt Disney’s love of railroading will premiere during the holiday season. “All Aboard for A Grand Circle Tour of the Trains of Disney!” will survey Disney trains from the classic Disneyland Railroad to such historic routes as Nature’s Wonderland and the Carolwood-Pacific circuit that operated in Disney’s backyard in Holmby Hills, California.
Themed entertainment, sparkling decorations and tasty treats add festive warmth to holiday fun at both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Also, guests may book guided holiday tours that provide entry into “it’s a small world” Holiday and Haunted Mansion Holiday, reserved seating for the Disneyland “A Christmas Fantasy” parade, a keepsake remembrance and entertaining information about the history behind Disneyland holiday traditions. For information and reservations guests may visit Disneyland City Hall or call (714) 781-4565.
Returning holiday favorites at Disneyland park include:
- “it’s a small world” Holiday becomes a worldwide celebration of the season, boasting more than 300,000 glittering lights on its facade. Also nightly on the façade is “The Magic, The Memories and You!” show with its new holiday sequence.
- Haunted Mansion Holiday presents a madcap celebration as the traditions of Halloween and Christmas collide. The ghoulish but well-meaning Jack Skellington from the film “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas” has come to Haunted Mansion to transform it with his skewed vision of the holidays.
- Santa Claus and his reindeer return to greet Disneyland guests at Santa’s Reindeer Round-up in Big Thunder Ranch, Frontierland. Kids and their families chat with St. Nick and see real reindeer grazing in a corral.
Disney California Adventure celebrates the season with fanciful park-wide decorations and lively entertainment.
- The park’s newest attraction, The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure, is specially decorated for the holidays, along with its Paradise Pier neighbors, the Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta and Paradise Garden Grill restaurants.

- The holiday scene along the Paradise Bay boardwalk includes a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and lampposts decorated with seasonal wreaths.
- Santa Claus greets guests in a specially decorated gazebo on the boardwalk near Ariel’s Grotto on Paradise Pier.
Guests in Disney California Adventure won’t want to miss the park entertainment. In addition to “World of Color,” with special holiday guests Lanny and Wayne from “Prep & Landing,” the “ElecTRONica” nighttime street party in Hollywood Pictures Backlot transports guests of all ages “on the grid” and into the environment of the Walt Disney Pictures feature, “TRON: Legacy.”
Also part of the regular Disney California Adventure lineup:
- A new Disney California Adventure street show, “Phineas and Ferb’s Rockin’ Rollin’ Dance Party” invites guests of all ages to “seize the day,” dancing and singing on Paradise Pier with the Disney Channel’s inventive animated boy geniuses. Also on tap are the energetic “dance-off” competition of “Disney Dance Crew” on the Backlot Stage in Hollywood Pictures Backlot, and the rock concert-style “Disney Channel Rocks,” featuring music from Disney Channel movies and series, performed on the Palisades Stage in Paradise Park, alongside Paradise Bay lagoon.
- In Blue Sky Cellar at Golden Vine Winery, the Imagineers’ workshop offers guests a preview of what’s coming to Disney California Adventure, including Buena Vista Street and Cars Land in 2012.
- Guests along Paradise Pier in Disney California Adventure also may enjoy the new Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventures and Goofy’s Sky School attractions, along with such favorite as Toy Story Mania!, Silly Symphony Swings, California Screamin’ and Mickey’s Fun Wheel.

Deadly salmonella outbreak traced by to Maradol papayas
Photo: NBC News.
September 15, 2017 01:56 PM
The multi-state salmonella outbreak linked to papayas has killed two people.
The Centers for Disease Control says Maradol papayas imported from several different farms in Mexico are the source of the outbreak. The papayas were for sale until August 29.
There have been 235 people sickened from 26 states. Seventy-eight had to be hospitalized. Sixty-nine percent of those affected are Hispanic.
The CDC recommends against eating Maradol papayas during the outbreak.
If you don't know whether it's a recalled papaya, public health experts say to throw it out.

VOA Turkish service reporters were outside the Turkish ambassador’s residence on Tuesday, May 16, when a brawl broke out between visiting Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s supporters and pro-Kurdish demonstrators calling for pro-Kurdish parliamentarian Selahattin Demirtaş’ release from prison. Erdoğan’s bodyguards were also involved in the scuffle. A number of people were injured and arrested. Washington D.C. metropolitan police barricaded the perimeter of the embassy to separate the groups.
The VOA video quickly circulated online and on social media, and was requested for use by dozens of U.S. and international media outlets, including ABC, CBS, CNN, BBC, The Washington Post, Daily Mail, and Reuters. It reached 3 million people in the first 12 hours after it was posted on the VOA Turkish website and social media platforms. In addition, the same video was retweeted and rebroadcasted by many other sources, including former U.N. representative Samantha Power, former White House spokesperson Dana Perino, CNN national security correspondent Jim Sciutto, Politico’s Editor-in-Chef Blake Hounshell, CNN Indonesia, WUSA9 (DC CBS affiliate), The Boston Globe, Buzzfeed, and news.com.au. VOA received many thank you notes from U.S. media outlets including CNN and ABC.
Throughout Turkish president Erdoğan’s visit to Washington, VOA Turkish reporters appeared live dozens of times on newscasts of major Turkish TV stations, including CNNTurk, Haberturk, NTV, Kanal D, Fox TV, TGRT Haber TV, Ege Turk TV and Halk TV, in addition to the daily live broadcasts for the service’s two affiliates, TGRT Haber TV and Ege TURK TV.
“First I’d like to say that Voice of America makes very successful shows. I’ve been following your broadcasts from different channels. Thank you, Voice of America. We will continue to watch you. Thanks for informing us,” prime-time news anchor for FOX TV in Turkey, Fatih Portakal, said as VOA Turkish reporter Dilge Timocin appeared live on his show covering the latest on President Trump’s meeting with his Turkish counterpart.


January 25, 2021 (Children’s Health Defense) — The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) Friday rescinded a flu vaccine mandate that would have required all children over the age of 6 months attending Massachusetts childcare, pre-school, kindergarten, K-12 or college to get the flu vaccine by Feb. 28.
The reversal came on the same date — Jan. 15 — the DPH was due to respond in court to a request for a preliminary injunction that would have prevented the mandate from being enacted.
The injunction was filed in conjunction with a lawsuit alleging the mandate was unlawful and therefore unenforceable. The lawsuit, filed in December 2020, in Massachusetts Superior Court by a Massachusetts mother on behalf of her graduate student daughter was funded by Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN).
The DPH did not issue a press release on the mandate change. However the department issued a statement, obtained by ICAN, to Massachusetts school nurses that reads in part:
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health is removing the requirement for flu vaccination for attendance in childcare/preschool, primary, secondary and postsecondary education. Preliminary data show that this has been a mild flu season to date, presumably as people have received their seasonal flu vaccine and have been adhering to mask-wearing and social distancing due to COVID-19. Given the intensive Commonwealth-wide efforts regarding COVID-19 vaccination, DPH wants to alleviate the burden to obtain flu vaccination and focus on continuing our COVID -19 vaccination efforts.
“This rescission of the Massachusetts flu vaccine mandate is extremely welcome,” said Mary Holland, Children’s Health Defense’s (CHD) general counsel. “Kudos to the plaintiffs, ICAN and their lawyers for this important victory that preserves health freedom for thousands of Massachusetts residents.”
Massachusetts public health officials announced the flu vaccine mandate on Aug. 19, 2020, triggering protests and two lawsuits. The initial deadline for complying with the mandate, Dec. 31, 2020 was subsequently extended to Feb. 28.
ICAN was not the only organization that opposed the mandate. According to Boston25 News:
“Some families across the state fought against the mandate and Health Choice 4 Action Massachusetts has been fighting bills at the state level that are trying to eliminate or restrict religious and medical exemptions for vaccinations.”
In November, one parent who objected to the mandate told Boston25 News that parents “deserve to have the final say” about medical decisions for their children:
“Parents are the first responders for every child,” Allison Chapman said. “We are there for every seizure, every sniffle, every sneeze, every triumph, and we know what they suffer through… the parents really know what’s going on and their instincts have to be paid attention to.”
In that same article, Dr. Paul Sax, clinical director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, told Boston25 News the flu shot is not always effective:
“In a good year the flu shot is 60% effective, while in a bad year it’s 10% to 30% effective. The flu vaccine is not our best vaccine. You know it has some warts. For one, it has to be given every year.”
Bottom of Form
CHD has long pointed out safety concerns about flu vaccines. According to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, roughly two thirds of the vaccine injury claims compensated (5,297 claims) have been for influenza vaccine injuries.
But flu vaccine injuries and deaths could be as high as 320,000, according to CHD. That’s because the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, a voluntary surveillance system, is acknowledged by the government to capture as little as 1% of actual adverse events. The total compensation for flu vaccine injuries to date (paid for by consumers) is almost $4.5 billion.
For more on flu vaccine safety, download this brochure.
CHD recently published a new e-book to help those concerned about vaccine safety and mandates understand the health risks associated with vaccines, the need to respect individual autonomy and the responsibility of those who administer vaccines to provide consumers with complete information.The e-book, “Vaccine Mandates: An Erosion of Civil Rights?” is designed to be used with other CHD resources, including the Mandates Toolbox.

Suffragettes too militant?
Emmeline Pankhurst, leader of the Suffragettes.
The BBC has released a Suffragette archive that features television and radio interviews with key Suffragettes and a modern discussion that criticizes them for becoming too militant.
Hmm, "the mother half of the human family" had been working to obtain equal political rights for centuries. The Suffragettes had the support of millions of British women, but had been contemptuously ignored as late as 1908 by the liberal Asquith government which imprisoned them and had them violently force fed when they went on hunger strike. (Emmeline was jailed, but they did not dare to touch her.)
It's a pity, isn't it, when the only way that men and women can focus the attention of their government is by being militant.
The Liberty Timeline has more about the Suffragettes.

I have always been an avid fashion editorial follower and have been rejoicing ever since they’ve become easier and easier to track down. However, in the mean time I have been waiting patiently for an online forum which features fashion films, not just editorials. Essentially, what I wanted was a Fashion Youtube, and I have found just that.
After watching a few of the films featured on their site, I have fallen in love with the short fashion film. The film is Modelgeddon, uploaded to W Magazine for their Fashion On Film Festival which was guest curated by Hervé Mikaeloff. Modelgeddon was created for LOVE Magazine as a collaboration between director James Lima and Donatella Versace. The short film features supermodels Alessandra Ambrosio, Ana Beatriz Barros, Claudia Mason and Julie Ordon as actual superheros.
Happy Fashion On Film watching!!

The PTI chief took to Twitter to express his views following former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s parliamentary party address.
Imran Khan also criticized Nawaz’s announcement to nominate his brother for the post of prime minister.
The PTI chief said that by making the move, Nawaz is insulting the nation’s intelligence and making a mockery of democracy.
Imran Khan said that when the masses come out to support the party’s rally on Sunday then Nawaz will come to know that the nation is politically aware and not fooled by his lies.
Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, addressing the PML-N parliamentary party meeting earlier said he was proud that his disqualification was not due to allegations of corruption brought against him.
Announcing the next prime ministerial candidate, Nawaz asked the attendees to support his brother, Shehbaz Sharif for the role.
“If you support anyone after me, I ask you to support Shehbaz Sharif,” he said.
Nawaz also announced that former petroleum minister, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, will be made interim prime minister.


Government aiming to build e-highway on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway: Gadkari
The proposed electrified freeway is anticipated to slash the price of logistics by as a lot as 70 p.c.
The federal government is attempting to assemble a separate ‘e-highway’ on the 1,300-kilometre-long Delhi-Mumbai Expressway the place vehicles and buses can ply at a pace of 120 kph, Street Transport and Freeway Minister Nitin Gadkari mentioned on Thursday. Replying to a question throughout Query Hour in Lok Sabha, Gadkari mentioned the step is anticipated to carry logistics value down by 70 p.c. “We are attempting to build ‘e-highway’ on the 1,300-km freeway between Delhi and Mumbai,” he mentioned. The minister, nonetheless, added that no remaining resolution has been taken on this.
Gadkari mentioned Siemens has used this know-how and constructed an analogous street in Germany.
“Buses and vehicles can ply on this e-highway at a pace of 120 kmph and can carry down the logistics value by 70 p.c,” he added.
Replying to one other query, the minister mentioned Rs 60,000 crore has been spent on setting up roads like Dwarka Expressway, the japanese and the western specific bypass which can cut back air air pollution in Delhi.

This report accompanied by ‘Learning Disability Data – Looking Beyond Scotland (Background Report)‘, represent the first outputs from our second programme of research looking at the lives of people with learning disabilities.
Whilst our previous programme of work highlighted barriers and inequalities, this programme is aimed at finding solutions and evidence to enable change. This starts with this report, where we have taken a closer look at the data sources which currently exist in Scotland, to focus in on what we know and don’t know about people with learning disabilities and explore how the data that we have available can be improved.
We have set out three initial actions that could take place in the short-term to support the continuous improvement of the evidence base in Scotland. These recommended actions are concerned with making the most of data that does, or soon will, exist and is under the control of the Scottish Government and its public sector partners in Scotland.
- Responsibilities to be clarified in relation to the publication of Learning Disability Statistics Scotland (LDSS) which has not been published since 2019 to ensure that this data is fit for purpose and continues to be published in full, with the added value of now being collected as part of the wider Public Health Scotland (PHS) SOURCE Social Care data collection realised.
- Make the most of the potential of existing data, particularly the undertaking of more routine linkage of established existing data relating to the lives and experiences of people with learning disabilities. This should be prioritised and outputs made available on a regular basis.
- The Scottish Government and partners in PHS and the National Health Service (NHS) should actively consider how they could collate relevant data from General Practices (GPs), alongside how data from the new annual health checks will be used to monitor and report on the health of people with learning disabilities. People with learning disabilities must have the opportunity to understand and contribute to the decision making process around this, including the bringing together of this data in order to build a national register of people with a learning disability.

State authorities are investigating the malfunction of a slingshot-style amusement park ride in an Anchorage parking lot late last week, which police said left one person with serious facial injuries.
Called the Ejection Seat, the ride catapults two people at a time into the air. It was set up this spring in the parking lot of the Crazy Horse Saloon across from Sullivan Arena.
About 8:45 p.m. Friday, Anchorage police and fire officials responded to a report that the ride had malfunctioned and people were trapped above ground.
According to police, a safety mechanism appeared to have failed and one of the two seats disconnected, said spokeswoman Anita Shell. The man riding in the seat struck the ride's framework, suffering severe facial injuries, she said.
The other man on the ride was not injured because his seat was secured properly, but it became tangled in the ride's cables, Shell said.
At first, both men were suspended 50 feet in the air, Shell said. But when the Anchorage Fire Department freed the injured man, the other man's seat jumped up another 20 feet and he was trapped for 45 minutes, Shell said. A second fire truck ladder had to be deployed to extricate him.
On Wednesday, officials said the state Department of Labor and Workforce Development's mechanical inspection section had opened an investigation into the incident.
"We'll try to determine human fault, mechanical fault," said Al Nagel, program manager and acting director with the mechanical inspection section. "At this point, I'm not even going to guess."
With only a small pool of carnival ride operators in Alaska, the state does not employ its own ride inspector, Nagel said. That task will fall on a private, independent inspector from the Lower 48.
"Before it goes back into operation, it'll be re-inspected," Nagel said.
The Ejection Seat was being operated by a business called Thrills Unlimited LLC, authorities said. Attempts to reach the owners for comment Wednesday were unsuccessful.
For any amusement ride accident resulting in an injury or death, Alaska law requires the operator to provide a written report within 48 hours. Nagel said the operator of the ride properly gave notice to his department about the accident.
He also said the ride had been inspected in recent years and there were no signs the operator ignored issues.
"The maintenance items that inspectors identified in the past, they've taken care of," Nagel said.
The Ejection Seat was built in 1994, Nagel said, and has been in Alaska since 2004, appearing at the Alaska State Fair and in Midtown Anchorage.

Rdio is giving up on Vdio, its streaming video service that at one point was meant to compete with Netflix. Maybe it’s just too hard to take on the video subscription market leader?
Rdio may have tripled the number of new sign-ups this year, but the company still laid off a reported 35 people Tuesday to cut costs.
Rdio wants to sell consumers music and video streams as part of a bundled offering to set itself apart from Spotify and others.
Vdio, the TV and movie-loving sibling of Rdio, is launching in Canada just two months after opening up to the public in the U.S.
Users don’t need a Rdio subscription to access movies and TV shows on Vdio anymore – but the services are working on even closer ties.
Its a unicorn. No it’s a phone. Actually it is Facebook Home, for now; Apple’s China Syndrome is making it think different; The Bit coin boom (& bust); Chrome & WebKit go to war and did Vdio really kill the Rdio star?
Janus Friis is slowly taking the wraps off his new service Vdio – and it turns out that it’s not a Netflix killer at all: The company just launched a private beta test in the U.K. and the U.S., offering iTunes-like movie and TV show consumption.
After enduring a torrid few months, Netflix is hoping to get that it can generate some positive momentum by announcing plans to launch in the U.K. and Ireland early next year — its first product launch outside the Americas. But it will face stiff competition.
How can Vdio possibly compete with Netflix and its 25 million subscribers? That’s a question we heard a lot when we broke the story about the new video service backed by Skype’s co-founder Janus Friis yesterday. The answer may have to do with timing and location.
Vdio just confirmed the story we broke earlier today: The new video startup was founded by Skype cofounder Janus Friis, and the team includes veterans from Skype and Joost. Vdio hasn’t publicly launched yet, but it’s already taking swipes at Netflix and Lovefilm.

Step 1: Remove mount from box or rifle.
Step 2: Close locking lever.
Step 3: Press up on lock bar.
Step 4: Expose adjustment bolt head.
Step 5: Rotate bolt as needed (R = tight, L = loose). Proper tension is achieved when tightened one flat at a time, the mount cannot slide on the side rail with the lever open. Loosen the bolt head one flat.
Step 6: Release lock bar and ensure that the adjustment bolt head is fully captured to prevent unintended rotation.
Step 7: Open lock lever.
Step 8: Slide mount on rifle and once fully seated against the recoil lug, close locking lever. Verify proper fit by ensuring that no play exists between rifle and mount.

From Chicken One:
Rosemary-Pine Nut Crackers
Chicken Two and I took a class at the Rolling Pin Kitchen Emporium in Brandon, FL, just east of Tampa. I'd highly recommend them for kitchen supplies and classes. They are certainly well-equipped and the instructors know what they are doing.
The class was for making crackers and we got a lot out of it. By far my favorite cracker of the three we made was the rosemary-pine nut flavor.
These wonderful gems go great with a nice, soft cheese and a glass of chilled white wine. Plus they couldn't be easier: it's like making cookies.
Mix up the ingredients just like cookie dough: cream the butter and sugar together, add the dry ingredients, and so on. Detailed instructions are in the recipe below.
Form the dough into two thick rectangles, wrap in plastic and let rest in the fridge for an hour or two.
Roll the dough out like cookie dough and use a cookie cutter to cut them out. In class we used a round, scalloped cutter, but at home I used my autumn-themed leaf-shaped cutters.
You can see all the luscious butter sizzling in the oven as they bake:See? They look just like cookies.
These crackers melt in your mouth. The creamy richness of the pine nuts stand up to the boldness of the rosemary, something not a lot of ingredients would be able to do.
Note: you owe it to yourself to use fresh rosemary. Chop it very finely for max flavor. Plus you don't want to get rosemary leaves in your teeth when you eat them.
I keep some of this dough in the freezer. It's easy enough to thaw it out and bake them up if you have a gift to bring someone or have unexpected guests.
Get yourself a round of French Camembert plus a crisp white wine and sit down with these crackers. Just don't expect there to be any left when you get up.
From Chicken Two:
Rosemary-Pine Nut Biscotti
I love the savory taste of rosemary and pine nut, so I set off to find a recipe that looked interesting. I found this one in Eatingwell.com, where I've found some great recipes in the past.
Mixing the ingredients to form a soft dough. Hint: baking is a lot like a science, so be sure to measure the ingredients precisely or you may not have the outcome you were hoping for.
I formed the loaf on wax paper to make it easier to transfer it to the baking sheet. You just roll it on!
It's easy to slice if you let it cool properly.Not only beautiful, but tasty too!
Rosemary Pine Nut Crackers Recipe
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 12 tablespoons butter, softened
- 3.75 ounces (100 g) pine nuts, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 whole egg
- 2 egg yolks
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

- Use an electric mixer to whip the butter until light and smooth.
- Add half the flour mixture to the butter and mix just until combined.
- Add the rosemary, pine nuts, egg, egg yolks and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Add rest of flour mixture until just combined. Dough should not be dry. If it crumbles, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until it is moist and doesn’t crumble when pinched.
- Divide dough in half. Flatten it into thick rectangles. Wrap each rectangle in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 325 F (160 C).
- Unwrap one rectangle of dough on floured surface. Roll to ¼-inch (0.6 cm) thick.
- Cut out crackers with cookie cutter. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake until golden, about 20-25 minutes. Let cool and store in airtight container.

The tradition of birthday cakes has a long and fascinating history that spans various cultures and centuries. The concept of celebrating birthdays with a special dessert is believed to have originated in ancient times, and the practices have evolved over the years. Here’s a brief overview of the history of birthday cakes:

- Ancient Greece:
- The earliest recorded mention of birthday celebrations dates back to ancient Greece. The Greeks would offer moon-shaped honey cakes to honor Artemis, the goddess of the moon and the hunt.
- Ancient Rome:
- Romans also celebrated birthdays, and they often marked the occasion with the baking of sweet cakes. These cakes were sometimes round to symbolize the moon.
- Medieval Germany:
- During the Middle Ages, in Germany, birthday celebrations became more widespread among children. Kinderfesten, or children’s festivals, featured a birthday cake, often a sweetened bread-like food.
- 17th Century Europe:
- By the 17th century, the birthday cake tradition had spread throughout Europe. Cakes became more elaborate, and they were often adorned with icing, decorations, and candles.
- 18th-century Germany:
- The German tradition of Kinderfesten evolved, and a new custom emerged: the Kinderfesten cake. This cake was typically a layered cake with icing and decorations.
- 19th-century England:
- During the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution brought about changes in baking ingredients and techniques. Birthday cakes became more affordable and accessible to the general population.
- Early 20th century:
- With the advent of baking powder and other modern conveniences, cake recipes became more standardized. The 20th century saw the popularization of the birthday cake as a central element of birthday celebrations.
- Candles and Birthday Wishes:
- The tradition of placing candles on birthday cakes is believed to have originated in ancient Greece. It was believed that the smoke from the candles carried prayers and wishes to the gods. Today, blowing out candles and making a wish is a common birthday ritual.
- In the 20th century, the commercialization of birthday celebrations led to the production of pre-made cake mixes and a wide variety of cake decorations. This made it easier for people to celebrate birthdays with homemade or store-bought cakes.
Today, birthday cakes come in countless flavors, shapes, and sizes, reflecting diverse cultural influences and personal preferences. The tradition of presenting a birthday cake with candles, singing “Happy Birthday,” and making a wish remains a cherished and widespread custom around the world.

Prince Harry (opens in new tab) and Meghan Markle (opens in new tab) have reportedly left Netflix producers 'confused' as statements made by the pair in their documentary 'contradicted' what Harry has written in his memoir
- A source from Netflix has revealed that filmmakers for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's docu-series were left 'confused' by some of their statements.
- The pair reportedly made claims that appeared to 'contradict' each other as well as statements made in Prince Harry's memoir
- In other royal news (opens in new tab), Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are predicted to face 'royal snub' at King Charles' coronation (opens in new tab)
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have confused the producers of their TV show after making claims that appear to 'contradict' each other, it has been claimed.
The royal couple made a multi-million dollar deal with Netflix (opens in new tab) to film a docu-series detailing their lives, which is due to air in December, though reports that it could be shelved (opens in new tab) put the date into question.
As royal fans wait on the edge of their seats to catch a glimpse into their lives, a source has told Page Six that Harry and Meghan have 'confused' filmmakers with some of their statements.
A Netflix source told the publication, "A lot in the show contradicted what Harry has written, so that was an issue.
"'Then Harry and Meghan made significant requests to walk back content they themselves have provided, for their own project."
Page Six has previously reported that Harry and Meghan wanted to put the Netflix show on hold until next year while they made edits to the production, but the publication has now revealed that Netflix will 'stuck to its guns' and air the docu-series as planned in December. The date lines up perfectly with the release of the company's new series of The Crown, new episodes of which will premiere on the 9th of November 2022.
Earlier this week, royal biographer Tom Bower (opens in new tab) told the MailOnline that Harry and Meghan are 'stuck with the devil' over their deals with Netflix, for their TV show, and Penguin Publishing, for Prince Harry's memoir, claiming that the pair were in need of the money that would come in from the deals.
Bower explained, "They need the money and they need it now more than ever because they've got no other source of income. So I think they're just stuck with the devil now.
"They're tied to Netflix, they're tied to their book. And all the criticism they're going to take means nothing because that's the only way they can earn their money."
Speaking to GB News on Monday the 10th October, the biographer added, 'I don't see how the Sussexes can give up both the Netflix and book deal.'

Afghanistan's intelligence service said Saturday it broke up a Taliban plot to attack the country's most notorious prison with a wave of suicide bombers.
The thwarted attack on the Policharki prison on the outskirts of the capital, Kabul, was meant to free Taliban and criminal prisoners, the Afghan intelligence service said in a statement.
The attack would have mirrored a massive assault in June on a prison in Kandahar — the country's second largest city and the spiritual home of the Taliban — that freed almost 900 prisoners, including about 400 Taliban fighters.
Three police who worked at Policharki were arrested, the intelligence service said. They were allegedly paid off by militants to help carry out the attack.
The three officers smuggled explosives and mobile phone batteries and chargers into the prison so two Taliban prisoners could make suicide vests, it said, adding the officers confessed their roles in the plot.
The intelligence service did not say when the arrests took place or when the attack was to be carried out. The commander of the prison, Maj. Gen. Abdul Baqi Basody, said the three were arrested about two weeks ago.
Elsewhere, the U.S.-led coalition said it killed nine militants in two operations, including an al-Qaida commander.
The coalition said four militants killed in Friday's operation in Ghazni province were involved in attacks against Afghan and NATO troops. An Afghan and coalition operation killed five militants in Kandahar province on Friday, it said.
The Afghan army said its troops killed five militants in Helmand province on Friday.
More than 4,700 people — mostly militants — have died in insurgency-related violence so far this year, according to an Associated Press count of figures provided by Afghan and Western officials.

Tuzla is a city whose name and history are closely tied to salt, a natural wealth that remained beneath Tuzla after the withdrawal of the Pannonian Sea into the Black Sea 10 million years ago, in the form of saline water and rock salt. The remains of the saline water were used to construct the Pannonian salt lakes complex in Tuzla.
Within the complex of the Pannonian Lakes, in 2006, the first Archaeological Park of a Neolithic pile-dwelling settlement in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Southeast Europe was built and opened. The Archaeological Park represents a reconstruction of a part of the Neolithic pile-dwelling settlement discovered in Tuzla. The park is an open-air museum that aims to present to visitors a portion of the archaeological and historical past of the city of Tuzla, as well as the way of life, both material and spiritual, especially the first salt production in the Neolithic era.
The Archaeological Park includes a semi-circular foundation curved around a hilly elevation, a leveled part of the hill arranged as a central plateau on which totem poles, a replica clay oven, a weaving hut, etc., are placed, 5 dwellings of characteristic shapes and dimensions, two smaller foundations connected by central foundations with wooden bridges to four more dwellings.
The first discovery of objects from the Neolithic era in Tuzla dates back to 1903. During work on regulating Appel Plac, now Trg slobode (Freedom Square), some archaeological material was excavated, providing the first indications of the existence of a Neolithic settlement in the Tuzla area. The archaeological material consisted of three perforated and polished hammers, a ceramic foot made of clay with traces of fine sand, and a large ball used as a grain crusher. After the expert analysis of these items, it was concluded that there was a Neolithic settlement in the present-day Tuzla area whose inhabitants, in addition to traditional livelihoods, also utilized sources of saline water.
Despite its interest and importance, this discovery was not sufficient to provide detailed information about the type, size, wealth, and true age of the settlement. It wasn't until 1955, in Rudarska Street, today's Džafer Mahala, that enough archaeological material was excavated, unequivocally confirming that there was a large and prosperous Neolithic pile-dwelling settlement in Tuzla, one of the oldest in Europe – with only one other Neolithic pile-dwelling settlement discovered in Switzerland.
Supporting the assumption that Neolithic inhabitants exploited saline sources are the discovered fragments of coarse pottery that, according to the opinions of contemporary top archaeologists, were used for isolating saline water. Two vessels have been reconstructed, one dating back to 3,500 years before the Common Era and the other to 5,000 years before the Common Era. Thus, from the Neolithic era to the present day, people in the Tuzla area have been producing salt.
The Neolithic vessels for isolating saline water serve as evidence that the pile-dwelling settlement in Tuzla was the first known Neolithic settlement whose inhabitants exploited this precious mineral. The oldest European cultures that used salt are dated to the Copper Age, meaning that the Neolithic discovery in Tuzla shifts the boundary of knowledge and use of salt in human diet from the Eneolithic to the Neolithic.
All findings provide evidence of the high culture of the inhabitants of this region during the flourishing of ancient cultures in Vinča and Butmir.
Since 2006 this Archaeology Park has become one of the tourist products of Tuzla, at first mainly relying on the visitors who come to visit the Pannonian Lakes, but now majority of visitors are pre-school children and students, as the visit to the Archaeology park is not only entertaining but also educational.
In 2012 an addition was made to the Archaeology park with opening of the Geological Exhibition 'Pannonica' which represents a significant element for the development of cultural tourism in the city of Tuzla, as it speaks to the continuity of life in this area and complements the offerings of the Pannonian Lakes complex.

The place where we were crouched into was dry at first, but suddenly a stream began to trickle down – right where my back was resting against the rock. As we were wedged in, I couldn’t move or Lenore would not have any shelter, but I didn’t mind. I had already been wet through many times before that morning. ”
— From the 1926 Glacier Park dairy of Gladys Johnson Hasse
Imagine hiking and climbing the mountains of Glacier Park wearing a velveteen jacket and street shoes. No insulated boots or rain jacket. No nylon tent, lantern, GPS or other equipment.
That’s what St. Paul poet Margaret Hasse’s mother. Gladys Johnson (later Hasse), did in 1926 and ’27. As if hiking in the rain without a coat wasn’t enough, Gladys and her friend Lenore hitchhiked from the park back home to Minnesota.
Years later, Margaret Hasse and other family members followed in Gladys’ footsteps.
Margaret was first drawn to the park because of her mother’s exciting stories of her own time working at one of the country’s most popular parks. Almost half a century later, Hasse pays tribute to her mother and the beauties of Glacier in her new chapbook “The Call of Glacier Park,’ (Finishing Line Press, $14.99). It’s a combination of 26 poems by Hasse and excerpts from her mother’s diary.
“When my mother wasn’t hiking she was waitressing at East Glacier Lodge,” Margaret recalls in an e-mail. “JJ and Louie (Hill) promoted Glacier Park as the ‘Alps of America.'”
Gladys’ summer was not only filled with work and hiking, but with going home the long way.
“(My mother) and Lenore sold their return tickets on the Great Northern (railroad), and hitchhiked down Montana to Yellow Stone Park, across Wyoming, S.D., and Minnesota, to arrive, after 122 rides, at St. Paul, and then Northfield where she returned to Carleton College,” Hasse writes.”(She) died when I was 27, but I have the comfort all these years of her stories, her diaries, her poems.”
Hasse’s descriptions of Glacier’s fresh air, mountain wild flowers, sparkling streams, wildlife and the joys (and pain) of mountain climbing will resonate with everyone who has spent time in the park. And for those who have worked at the Glacier hotels, there will be plenty of memories.
Hasse, a native of South Dakota, studied English and creative writing at Stanford University and the University of Minnesota. She is the author of six full-length books of poetry, including her most recent, “Summoned” (Nodin Press).
She has been very involved at the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis as teaching artist, Writers on Stage performer, Mentor Program, Art and the Land project, as well as board chair.
Hasse will read from “The Call of Glacier Park” at these venues:
- 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 5, free virtual event in conversation with Margaret Notley of Glacier National Park conservancy. Presented by SubText Books in St. Paul. Register at: subtextbooks.com
