Especially during pregnancy, limit your intake to one small serving (1/4 cup uncooked) of rice per week, and avoid processed rice products such as crackers, cereal, gluten-free baked goods, and rice “milks” — these contain rice from unknown sources and in some cases may be significantly higher in arsenic.
What kind of crackers can I eat while pregnant?
Saltines are great for keeping nausea at bay, but they won’t fill you up for very long. Trade them in for a cracker with a little more substance (and fiber, protein and good fatty acids). When you feel up for them, try nutrient-dense flax crackers.
Is it OK to eat crackers while pregnant?
During pregnancy you need 4,700 mg of the mineral each day, which sounds like a shocking amount, but most fruits and vegetables contain at least some potassium. Keep up with your fiber needs by noshing on whole-grain, low-sodium crackers or rye crisp bread, which offers up nearly 2 g fiber per 37-calorie cracker.
Is eating rice harmful during pregnancy?
Starchy carbohydrate-rich foods include potatoes, rice, pasta, and bread. Carbohydrates are high in energy, and are therefore an important component of a good pregnancy diet.
Is it OK to eat cereal during pregnancy?
All Bran Cereal With Extra Fiber
Plus, the extra fiber can reduce constipation and help you avoid another common pregnancy problem: hemorrhoids . Most important, many high-fiber cereals are also rich in folic acid. This is important to reduce the risk of birth defects.
What should I eat at night during pregnancy?
Eat an evening snack. Choose a light grain-and-dairy snack, such as crackers with low-fat cheese and fruit, or low-fat yogurt with toast and apple butter. Wait an hour before lying down. These healthy pregnancy foods will digest quickly so you (and your stomach) can rest.
Can I eat potato chips in first trimester?
Pregnant women should avoid eating too much vegetable oil and potato chips during pregnancy, says a new study. It indicates that such a diet may result in an increased risk of pregnancy complications and poor development of the foetus.
What food can kill a baby when pregnant?
We’ve addressed some foods that are harmful and should be avoided when you’re pregnant for your safety and that of your baby.
- Meats. …
- Cheese. …

Which fruit should I avoid during pregnancy?
Papaya– It tops the list for obvious reasons. Raw or semi ripe papaya contains latex which can induce premature contractions and that can be dangerous for your baby. However, ripe papaya is rich in vitamins and iron.
What should I eat first thing in the morning when pregnant?
Try whole-wheat breads, cereals (choose ones with less sugar), oatmeal, granola and porridge with wheat germ. Iron. As a pregnant mom, you’ll need about twice the amount of iron (27 mg a day) as nonpregnant women to supply oxygen to your baby.
Is banana good for pregnancy?
Bananas. Bananas are another good source of potassium. They also contain vitamin B6, vitamin C, and fiber. Constipation is very common during pregnancy.
What is a good pregnancy diet?
During pregnancy, the goal is to be eating nutritious foods most of the time, Krieger told Live Science. To maximize prenatal nutrition, she suggests emphasizing the following five food groups: fruits, vegetables, lean protein, whole grains and dairy products.
Is Jasmine rice good for pregnancy?
Promotes Healthy Pregnancy
Specifically, regular folic acid intake has been linked to reduced levels of birth defects and neural tube defects. This makes jasmine rice a healthy choice while trying to conceive and during pregnancy.
Is Potato good for pregnancy?
Eating potatoes or chips on most days of the week may increase a woman’s risk of diabetes during pregnancy, say US researchers. This is probably because starch in spuds can trigger a sharp rise in blood sugar levels, they say. Their study in the BMJ tracked more than 21,000 pregnancies.
Can you skip breakfast when pregnant?
But many women habitually eschew the morning meal, and continue to do so even when expecting. “By morning you’ve gone eight to 12 hours without food, so you need to eat,” Caulfield says. “Skipping breakfast and [other] meals increases the risk of premature labor.”
What is a good lunch for a pregnant woman?
The perfect meal would include a small smoothie for calcium, salad for fiber and vitamins and a sandwich on whole grains for protein and carbohydrates. Throw in some good fat from olive oil, nuts or avocado and you’ve got yourself a perfect meal.


Microsoft Hololens may still only be in its developmental stage of life, but that doesn’t mean it’s not having an impact. In the case of one orthopaedic surgeon in Santa Catarina, Brazil, it’s helping him perform life-altering spinal surgery in a safe and affordable manner.
Spinal surgery is, to say the least, complicated and delicate surgery, which is why 3D scans of a patient’s spine are often taken and visualized — in this case, so that the Dr. Henrique Lampert could select the perfect position for screws designed to fuse vertebrae together. However the imaging of such a model is difficult, because intra-operative CT scanning isn’t cheap and is only available in a few locations.
Warning: Contains graphics video of spinal surgery:
Hololens however is entirely portable and, at $3,000 per headset, is much more affordable than other medical alternatives. So that’s what Dr. Lampert and his development partner, Dr Gobatto (thanks Reality.News) used, and by all accounts, it works very well as an alternative.
Of course there are reasons that the Hololens is far cheaper. Currently its rendering power and level of detail aren’t perfect, with both doctors hoping that future versions will allow for greater resolution renders to be visualized within its augmented reality view. Surprising though, the doctors reportedly love the limited field of view currently offered by the Hololens, as it left traditional monitors unobstructed by digital elements.
They did say however that the headsets could do with additional processing power, so that the frame rate doesn’t suffer so much when complex 3D models are loaded into the augmented view.
Moving forward, the doctors will be authoring a medical article to evaluate just how effective the technique is compared to more traditional medical hardware, and what kind of difference it can make to patients. They also hope to create a new course for surgeons to help them learn how best to use holographic technology in the operating theater.

Fortnite and Marvel, there is no better love story. Everyone’s favorite superheroes have always had a strong presence in the game and so has Chapter 3, Season 2. The main attraction is of course Doctor Strange, who is featured throughout this season. But of course that won’t be the end of the story. There will be more Marvel because there is always more Marvel. We know that not only because of our sensational intuition, but also because we have a new leak. This leak revealed that there will be a new Wolverine skin for Fortnite this season!
Wolverine is coming back to Fortnite
A new Wolverine skin is coming to Fortnite soon! This was revealed by @hzjoetv on Twitter. He used to work at Epic Games and is a known Fortnite leaker, so this revelation seems legit. He even posted a promo image which you can see in this tweet below:

That actually looks pretty cool. We like it when Wolverine is rough and badass, and that seems to be what they’re aiming for with this new Fortnite take on the clawed hero, which appears to be based on a version of Wolverine called “Patch”. You can imagine why it’s called that…
It is not yet known when the new Wolverine skin will appear in Fortnite. But considering this image is already circulating, we assume it’s going to happen pretty soon. As soon as it is in the game, we will of course inform you about all the details about this new skin.

Fox News Judge Napolitano Continues to Trash Trump with Inaccurate ‘Analysis’
by John Nolte
Appearing with Shepard Smith on Wednesday, Fox News’s Judge Andrew Napolitano continued his winning streak of being the worst and most dishonest legal analyst on television not named Jeffrey Toobin.
Spewing all kinds of mindless gloom and doom (you can watch the full segment here), while ignoring the all-important mitigating context that proves just how stupid his gloom and doom is, Napolitano painted a dire picture of President Trump as a felon.
After Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison, Smith teed up Napolitano with this: “Prosecutors have told us through these filings that they have evidence that the President committed a felony.”
Naturally, Napolitano heartily agreed:
The felony is paying Michael Cohen to commit a felony. It’s pretty basic. Somebody hires you — A hires B to shoot someone. A is as liable as if he had pulled the trigger. You pay someone to commit a crime, they commit the crime, you are liable, criminally liable for their commission of that crime, as well as they being liable. That’s what the prosecutors told the federal judge.
Keep in mind that this is coming from the same Judge FakeNews who called proven liar Christine Blasey Ford “exceptionally credible” after hearing only a few minutes of her testimony.
But here is the important information the Judge FakeNews is deliberately hiding from Fox viewers… Read the rest of this article at breitbart.com.
“If you are holding off canceling your cable to hold onto Fox News, it is time to rethink that. If Fox News is going to mislead and spread anti-Trump propaganda that is no different from the fake news coming from CNN … It’s time to cut the cord, y’all, it is time to starve fake news.”

ARM Ltd., the U.K. chip design and licensing vendor, is targeting datacenters and processors intended for high-performance computing in a chip process technology deal with the world’s largest chip foundry.
ARM (LSE: ARM, NASDAQ: ARMH) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE: TSM) announced a multiyear agreement this week to collaborate on leading-edge 7-nanometer FinFET process technology. (FinFET stands for fin-shaped field-effect transistor, an emerging process technology that reduces leakage current in systems-on-chip, or SoCs.)
The partners said the deal extends their existing partnership to push the latest device process technology into datacenters and next-generation networks. It also builds on previous collaboration on earlier generations of FinFET process technology used in ARM’s chip intellectual property offerings.
Chip scaling is advancing in parallel with hyper-convergence in datacenters. ARM is attempting to make inroads in datacenters dominated by x86-based infrastructure through what it claims are up to 10-fold increases in compute density for specific datacenter workloads. The deal with TSMC enables the chip vendor to design processors aimed datacenters and network infrastructure that are optimized for the Taiwan foundry’s 7-nanometer FinFET process technology.
The scaling of chip component densities translates to higher compute density across IT infrastructure while reducing power consumption, the partners claimed.
For TSMC, Hsinchu, Taiwan, collaboration with ARM allows it to migrate its chip process technology from mostly mobile devices to high performance computing as advanced scale architectures make inroads in the datacenter and other IT infrastructure.
TSMC said high-performance computing SoCs based on its latest chip processing technology would boost performance without a power penalty while reducing power consumption at the 10-nanometer FinFET process node.
ARM and TSMC have collaborated on previous generations of FinFET process technology. ARM’s Cortex-A72 processor is based on TSMC’s 16- and 10-nanometer FinFET process nodes.
ARM cores have slowly made their way into server SoCs. Late last year it announced new math libraries running on its 64-bit processors aimed at HPC servers. “The HPC community are early adopters of ARM-based servers and the introduction of optimized math routines build a foundation for enabling scientific computing on 64-bit ARM based compute platforms,” the chip designer noted in statement releasing the libraries.
ARM also announced a partnership with chip networking specialist Cavium (NASDAQ: CAVM) to develop HPC and big data analytics software running on its ARM-based processing platform.
Meanwhile, semiconductor foundries like TSMC have been steadily moving down the chip-scaling curve from 16- to 10- to 7-nanometer designs based on lower power FinFET process technology. TSMC said in January it expects to begin production at the 7-nanometer node in 2017.
Along with HPC, ARM continues to target Internet of Things applications. Its IoT strategy focuses on development and scaling of its “mbed” technology, which includes a “full-stack” operating system tailored to its Cortex-M 32-bit microcontrollers and a “device server” that handles connections from IoT devices.
The chip vendor announced plans last September to collaborate with IBM on an IoT platform that would integrate ARM devices with IBM analytics services designed to collect data from networked appliances and sensors.
Questions about ARM traction in the server market have swirled for some time. The move to a smaller feature size may help build momentum. Filippo Mantovani, coordinator of the European Mont-Blanc Project (Barcelona Supercomputer Center) intended to explore new ways to achieve energy efficient architecture for supercomputing (See the 2013 Mont-Blanc paper, Supercomputing with Commodity CPUs: Are Mobile SoCs Ready for HPC?”) offered these observation about ARM market traction in an earlier HPCwire article.
“It depends which ARM processors are we looking at. Enhancements of mobile System on Chips (SoCs) are driven by big producers of mobile devices (Apple, Samsung, Huawei, etc.). From this market we will see surprisingly good and increasingly powerful SoCs, but I consider unlikely that one of them will be integrated as-is in a high-end HPC system, unless some of these big players want to enter HPC market. Due to its cost effectiveness, I [still] consider [that] mobile technology is extremely interesting for compute intensive embedded applications as well as small labs and companies looking for cheap/mobile/easy scientific computation, not necessarily in the HPC area,” said Mantovani.
“If we are looking at ARM processors in the server market, then the things are slightly different. The ARM-based chips for servers, in fact, seem to evolve fast and [are becoming] more popular (X-Gene, Cavium ThunderX). Strangely enough, I consider it more urgent to have reliable and unified software support for the ARM platforms appearing on the market, than adding specific features to the silicon. This support would allow ARM technology to be “better socially accepted” within the HPC community. In this sense, Mont-Blanc is going to contribute with this system software stack and programming model, but in terms of compilers a strong contribution from IP designers and SoC producers is [still] required.”
Last year, the Mont-Blanc project received a three extension to further develop the OmpSs parallel programming model to automatically exploit multiple cluster nodes, transparent application check pointing for fault tolerance, support for ARMv8 64-bit processors, and the initial design of the Mont-Blanc exascale architecture.

[ THIS REPORT WAS MODIFIED ON JUNE 10, 2008 ]
The pilot of a red Waco biplane was back-taxiing on runway 3, a 3,700-foot-long, 50-foot-wide, turf runway. At the same time, a group of airplanes were approaching the airport as part of a pre-arranged Deaf Pilots Association fly-in. The pilot of the Waco stated that prior to the back-taxi he announced his intentions on the common traffic advisory frequency (CTAF), did not hear a response, and did not observe any traffic in the area. About one-third down the runway, the pilot of the Waco observed an airplane on final approach for runway 3. The pilot of the Waco attempted to contact the airplane on final approach, but heard no response. The pilot of the Waco then taxied off the runway and waited until the landing airplane rolled past him. The pilot of the Waco announced his intentions on the CTAF, heard no response, and resumed the back-taxi on runway 3. About two-thirds down the runway, he observed another airplane approaching runway 6, and he again cleared runway 3 in case the landing pilot decided to land on runway 3. The second airplane subsequently landed on runway 6. The pilot of the Waco attempted to contact both pilots that landed, but heard no response. The pilot of the Waco again announced his intentions on the CTAF, heard no response, and resumed the back-taxi on runway 3. As the Waco approached the runway threshold, the accident airplane was on short final approach for runway 3, and began a go-around. During the go-around, the nose pitched up, the airplane stalled to the left, and impacted the runway. A passenger in the accident airplane reported that the accident airplane and Waco were nose to nose near the runway threshold. Another passenger in the accident airplane reported that the accident pilot panicked at the sight of the Waco. The pilot of the accident airplane was hearing impaired, and could not hear the stall warning horn.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed during a go-around, which resulted in an inadvertent stall and subsequent impact with terrain.

Glass firm Pilkington begins to shine
PILKINGTON, one of the world's largest glass makers, has reported an increase in demand from builders and car makers despite market conditions remaining 'challenging'.
The Merseyside-based firm forecast a 20% rise in half-year profits today as it remained on track to meet expectations for annual results.
It added that ongoing progress in manufacturing efficiency and cost reduction had also helped. It expects first-half profits to rise by 20%, although this performance was helped by the timing of money banked from the licensing of its technology.
The company's trading update stated: 'The market background remains challenging, made more so with rising energy costs, however solid progress is being made in automotive and the group expects to meet market expectations for the full year.'
Analysts have pencilled in a profits figure of £196.2m for the 12 months to the end of March, compared with £184m a year earlier. The performance reflects a drive to make the business more competitive, following the loss of around a third of its workforce over the past decade.
Pilkington, which employs around 24,000 people and has plants in Birmingham and Doncaster, is now expected to look for profitable growth opportunities as part of the final phase of its recovery programme.

The FNB Ikey Tigers have a new captain heading into the season, with Guy Alexander leading the line as the team looks to do one better and go all the way this year. “I’m very excited. It’s nice to have the role in an official capacity,” Guy said when asked about being named captain. “The team makes it very easy, I consider myself to be a lucky captain,”
In terms of the team, eleven players from the 2015 season will be playing again this year. “Having the experienced heads in the team is big for us because they know what it takes to be champions. We still have a few guys from the 2014 squad as well.”
“The younger guys bring in that excitement and energy, so hopefully it will all prove to be a lethal combination,” he then added.
The team recently played a training game against the Stormers, a session that coach Robbie Fleck branded as demanding and testing. The Ikey Tigers were constantly attacking as the Stormers looked to work on the defensive side of their game. Captain Guy Alexander was happy with their performance, saying: “We were accurate in attack. We had a lot of energy on a hot day in Stellenbosch so I’m happy about that. It’s also good to see what needs to be fixed before the start of the new season and this gave us an opportunity to do so.”
The Ikey Tigers end their preseason with a match against False Bay on Saturday, the 30th of January 2016.
The FNB Ikey Tigers will host FNB Shimlas at the Green Mile on Monday, the 8th of February at 19:00 (TV). Tickets available at (www.webtickets.co.za)

Two homeless men living in tents in Leicester city centre need help and compassion, staff at nearby businesses have said.
The men have set up a makeshift camp in Highcross Street, off jubilee Square and close to the Highcross shopping centre, and have a collection of belongings beside them including sleeping bags and cooking utensils.
Leicester City Council has now said that it might consider legal action to force the pair to move on if they do not accept the temporary accommodation which has been offered to them.
Speaking before the city council said it might take legal action to move the men on, people who live and work in the area told the Leicester Mercury the pair was not causing any problems and deserved support.
Benji Legros, manager of Cosy Club, said: “They deserve help and they deserve compassion.
“It’s our role, as people that have plenty, to look after those that don’t have anything."
He said staff did what they could to help, adding that the men sometimes asked them for hot water.
“We check on them and we make sure they are doing as well as they can," he said.
Matthew Wilby, 21, lives in a flat which backs on to Highcross Street.
He said the men staying there had never caused him any issues.
“I don’t have any problem with them, I feel sorry for them and they should get some help," he said.
“They’re never really loud. They don’t shout at people.
“I think it’s a shame that it’s happening.”
Mr Wilby added: “People have been there for months.
“It’s not like it’s an unknown problem, it’s quite obvious there."
Councillor Andy Connelly, assistant city mayor for housing, said: “Every effort is being made to provide temporary accommodation and support to two individuals rough sleeping on Highcross Street.
“However, offers of accommodation and support at the Dawn Centre and other hostels have so far been refused.
“We are continuing to make daily visits to address any immediate health needs and encourage the take-up of temporary accommodation.
“Our city wardens are also visiting regularly to ensure that any associated rubbish is cleared away promptly.
“Our aim is to provide temporary accommodation and associated support in the short term.
“However, if these offers are still refused and the individuals cause an ongoing nuisance, we may be left with no option other than to consider legal action.”

The Supreme Court said life-without-parole sentences are unconstitutional for the vast majority of children. A majority of the country now bans or does not impose life without parole on children under 18.
Banning life without parole does not mean flinging open prison doors. Instead, judges and parole boards are charged with thoughtful, case-by-case assessments of rehabilitation and public safety as they determine whether people who committed crimes as children should be freed many years later, as mature adults.
Children do commit serious crimes and should be held accountable in age-appropriate ways. Basing policy decisions on the most heartbreaking, extreme examples of youth violence risks the cruel and disproportionate punishment of children of color, and we would be better served to focus on the underlying causes of youth violence than to consider bringing back extreme sentences for children that have been widely abandoned.

Sir Alex Ferguson is facing up to a "big problem" after admitting his current crop of young players are forcing their way onto his Manchester United teamsheet.
Speaking after the Reds' 3-0 win over Tottenham, the boss said his decision to again start with Danny Welbeck (20), Phil Jones (19) and Tom Cleverley (22) is vindicated by their talent. The side that lined up for kick-off in the first home match of 2011/12 was the second-youngest eleven fielded by Sir Alex since the Premier League began in 1992.
"I'm pleased at that because it tells you we still believe in young players," said Sir Alex. "That's what this club is about and I think all the fans appreciate that, moreso when you see the ability they've got. We've always had confidence to play young players. But this group have such fantastic ability, it forces me to play them really."
Welbeck's ability in the air eventually broke the deadlock against a Spurs side that started well at Old Trafford. "I thought it was a really fast game first half, end to end, and it was very even," said Sir Alex. "Tottenham had a lot of possession but we had some too. But in the second half we just took off and it was a really fantastic performance by us."
The difference between Danny in the first and second half was, according to Sir Alex, partly positional. "I thought in the first half Danny didn't play as a centre forward.. He was too much in midfield, he and Wayne. We stressed at half-time that we needed more of a presence up front, we needed our targets up there and we needed someone to run through. In the second half they were much better that way and it made a difference to our game."
With Welbeck joined on the scoresheet by fellow striker Wayne Rooney - as well as Anderson inbetween - plus Javier Hernandez coming off the bench to make an earlier-than-expected start to his campaign, Sir Alex now faces a selection dilemma in

Submitted to: Journal of Soil and Water Conservation Society
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 4/21/2004
Publication Date: 9/19/2004
Citation: Thoma, D., Gupta, S.C., Bauer, M.E. 2004. Evaluation of optical remote sensing models for crop residue cover assessment. Journal of Soil and Water Conservation Society 59(5): 224-233.
Interpretive Summary: Measurement of crop residue cover over large areas is difficult and time consuming, but such information is needed for monitoring conservation tillage adoption, assessing carbon sequestration potential and erosion modeling. Currently a 'drive-by' survey is made in most Midwest agricultural counties where observers make educated guesses about the abundance of residue cover in a sampling of fields. This study was designed to test the accuracy of this method for residue cover estimation, and to test the feasibility of predicting crop residue cover based on satellite imagery. The findings indicate that the 'drive-by' survey correctly classified fields into two cover categories (< 30% or > 30%) 77% of the time. Several of the remote sensing techniques achieved similar or slightly better classification accuracies, but none far surpassed the classification accuracy of observers in the field. Even though the remote sensing techniques tested in this project were no more accurate than field observations, several advantages became apparent. Remote sensing techniques are more cost effective, sample every field rather than selected fields, and eliminate inherent human bias in the observations.
Technical Abstract: Measurement of crop residue cover over large areas is useful for monitoring conservation tillage adoption, assessing carbon sequestration potential and erosion modeling. This study was designed to test the accuracy of crop residue estimates in current Tillage Transect Surveys (TTS), and to test the feasibility of predicting crop residue cover based on data recorded by Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) satellite scenes. A total of 468 corn plus soybean fields in 11 Minnesota counties were characterized for residue cover in the course of 3 sampling campaigns coinciding in time with satellite scene acquisition. Results showed that TTS estimates were correct for 49% to 74% of fields when either 5 or 2 categories were used in classification respectively. Regression analysis showed a strong positive relationship between percent soybean residue cover and ETM+ bands 1, 3 and 7 (r2 =0.66) and between percent corn residue and ETM+ bands 4, 5 and 7 (r2 = 0.44). Three additional indices based on satellite digital numbers, the Tillage Index (TI), Normalized Difference Index (NDI), and Normalized Difference Tillage Index (NDTI) had coefficients of determination between 0.02 and 0.56 for corn and soybean residues. The Crop Residue Index Multiband (CRIM) model, a more physically based model, correctly predicted residue cover categories for 30 to 64% of fields when 5 or 2 categories were used in classification respectively. We conclude that remote sensing techniques had accuracy as good or better than TTS estimates when residue cover classifications were decreased to two categories (0-30%, and >30%). Since residue cover information is primarily needed to assess the extent of two categories, conservation and conventional tillage, remote sensing with Landsat imagery provides a means of sampling every field with an efficient, economical and uniform methodology.

Despite the fact that the presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S11 is still far away, some are already beginning to appear on the network
What is known
Korean edition of TheElec, citing itssource, shared information about the smartphone’s camera. According to the leak, the Galaxy S11 will get support for 5x optical zoom, like the Huawei P30 Pro and Oppo Reno 10x Zoom. This is a proprietary module, which the Korean manufacturer showed back in May of this year. It has a thickness of only 5 mm.
In addition, the source reports that the device alsoequipped with an ISOCELL Bright HMX sensor at 108 megapixels with a pixel size of 0.8 microns. It takes pictures with a maximum resolution of 12032 × 9024p. The same module received the concept smartphone Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha, which will enter the market at the end of this year.
Recall, Galaxy S11 is codenamed Picasso. He is also credited with a new generation OLED display made of special material M10.

Pics: Protesting French farmers set tyres on fire and block roads with tractors
French farmers have taken to the streets of France to protest against the low prices they are receiving for their produce.
It comes after farmers hosted several other protests in 2015.
A roadblock of tractors was set up on the RN12 motorway between Rennes and Brest in the northwest of the country last week.
The farmers also lit tyres in protest and are demanding more financial help.
French farmer union the FDSEA organised the protest which saw around 100 farmers out in protest.
In 2015, the French minister for agriculture, Stephane Le Foll said that 23,000 French farmers face bankruptcy and his government then introduced a €600m aid package.
According to reports from The Local protests are also happening in parts of France again today (January 25).
Photos of the protest soon began to surface on Twitter:
Jean-Sebastien Evrard, a photographer with AFP Press, tweeted these photos of the protest, after the farmers had set the bales on fire.
This video from Russia Today also made an appearance on Twitter. It shows police officers with shields moving around the protest site.
The Press Association’s photo account on Twitter also published these great images of the protest.
The farmers have taken to western France today (January 25) and have blocked roads there and set more tyres on fire.
This AFP photo was tweeted off the BHIVE Paris account earlier today.

Both are amazing, but which one you find better? Watch this comparo
Given the fact both the 675LT and the 720S are McLaren Super Series’ representatives, people started to wonder which one is better.
From an availability point of view, the 720S is the one to pick, as the 675LT is already sold out. From a technological & performance view, well, it’s up for discussion.
When it launched, the 675LT was described as the closest to the P1 performance-wise. The 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 packs (you’ve guessed it!) 675 PS and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft), 675LT boasting a 2.9-second naught to 62 mph time and a 300 km/h maximum speed.
The 720S kicks McLaren’s Super Series up a notch with better looks (although this is a subjective matter), a bigger engine and more power.
McLaren's latest uses an all-new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 ready for 720 PS and 770 Nm of torque. Consider its mere 1,283 kg (2,828 lbs) weight and the result is a 561/ton power-to-weight ratio. The 720S will reach 62 mph after 2.9 seconds, peaking at 341 km/h.
We’re just amazed by how easy these two can take it up to 320 km/h (200 mph) on the Autobahn.
If you want to see a more detailed comparo between the 720S and the 675LT, take a look at this Nürburgring runs.


Harrington’s caddie collapses in Volvo Champions
DURBAN, South Africa (AP) — The caddie to Padraig Harrington collapsed at the Volvo Champions and was treated for dehydration on Friday.
Ronan Flood, also Harrington’s brother-in-law, fell ill on the sixth hole of the second round and was rushed to the clubhouse at Durban Country Club, where he was treated by a doctor.
Flood carried Harrington’s bag when the Irishman won the 2007 and 2008 British Opens and the 2008 U.S. PGA Championship.
Harrington sought help from Irish-born photographer Pat Cashman as a stand-in caddie before organizers arranged for a replacement.

Passport office has made youth run from pillar to post since December for the missing alphabet ‘Y’
Ashish Omprakash Dubey, a 26-year-old professional, cannot believe that documents such as a PAN, Driving Licence, voter’s card, ration card, the passbook of a nationalized bank and the latest and highly regarded Aadhaar card, are not enough for the passport office to verify the spelling of his surname as ‘DUBEY’.
His SSC mark-sheet mentioning his name as ‘DUBE’ has become the reason for a lot of harassment by the passport office.
He alleges that even an extra police verification, an affidavit and his having published a ‘change of name’ advertisement in two different newspapers, as demanded by the passport office itself, has not helped him.
Dubey has been pursuing the office since April to find out why all his identity cards and affidavits are not being considered as valid proof of his surname.
In a shocking revelation, Dubey states that he continued to visit the passport office at Worli until last week, which was when the staff there asked the guard to throw him out and not let him meet senior officers.
The anguished Andheri resident says, “It is only my SSC mark-sheet that spells my surname without the letter ‘Y’. However, on the basis of the same document, I have made all the other documents, beginning with my graduation certificate, which clearly mentions me as Ashish Omprakash Sumitra Dubey.
I fail to understand why the office is refusing to issueme a passport.”
After submitting the necessary documents last December, Dubey was called for police verification. Instead, he received a letter from the passport office asking him to see the Deputy Passport Officer with original certificates, and hence started the marathon.
Showing the clippings published in Navshakti and The Free Press Journal on June 26, he complains, “When I met the authorities there, they refused to entertain me and even asked the guard to not let me meet them. I fail to understand why I am being harassed and not told about the problem with my documents?”
Yesterday too, Dubey was kept out of the passport office until this newspaper spoke to an officerwho then intervened in thematter.
Passport office reacts Surprised by the allegation of harassment, Regional Passport Officer Vinoy K.Choubey said, “There are some documents which are
lacking in his case, but I fail to understandwhy the same was not conveyed to the applicant in a clearmanner.”
He added that the office sees a sea of people everyday, which makes it difficult for the staff to handle applicants. On checking Dubey’s file, the officer shared that there was only one formality remaining, which should have been communicated to Ashish the last time he showed up.
Choubey intervened in the case and has instructed that the application be processed quickly.

Home Minister Amit Shah clarified in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday that the security breach at Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi's home last week was an "unlikely coincidence".
On November 25, the family members of a district Congress leader from Meerut came in a black-coloured vehicle around the same time when Rahul Gandhi was supposed to come to meet his sister in a similarly black-coloured vehicle of the same make. The family members were allowed to enter the residence without any physical checks, and they went straight to Priyanka for a selfie.
"The car got in without security checks. This kind of coincidence never happens but still we ordered an inquiry and suspended three officers who were there. We do not want even a .001 per cent chance," said the Home Minister.
There is no doubt that the manner in which the vehicle was allowed to enter Priyanka's residence without any physical checks was a serious breach of security and such mistakes must not be allowed to occur again. But, as Amit Shah said, it was the protectee (Priyanka) who had ordered her security officers not to physically check any of her close family members because of which the vehicle was allowed to enter.
Imagine if a group of terrorists had entered the residence without any checks. It is, therefore, necessary for the protectees themselves to adhere to security guidelines, and all visitors, including relatives, must undergo checks. If the security officers had information about Rahul Gandhi visiting her sister, they could have at least checked whether Rahul was inside the vehicle or not. Even a minor error can cause a big incident, and security personnel need to be ever vigilant.

Aaj Ki Baat: Monday to Friday, 9 PM
India’s Number One and the most followed Super Prime Time News Show ‘Aaj Ki Baat – Rajat Sharma Ke Saath’ was launched just before the 2014 General Elections. Since its inception, the show is redefining India’s super-prime time and is numerically far ahead of its contemporaries.


A couple of days ago Sony sent out a press release announcing that they had won an Emmy for their amazingly designed SIXAXIS controller that is completely lacking any form of force feedback:
Sony Computer Entertainment America today announced that it has been recognized by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with a Technology and Engineering Emmy Award for the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system's SIXAXIS wireless controller. SCEA will receive this distinguished honor at an awards presentation being held tonight at the International Consumer Electronics Show 2007 in Las Vegas.
That sounded like a load of crap, so Hydrapinion (thanks Dave) contacted the Emmy-giving peeps and discovered that Sony is being awarded for the overall Dual Shock analogue design, alongside Nintendo for their invention of the D-Pad:
I understand you had contacted Cheryl Daly, Director of Communications at NATAS to confirm if Sony won for their PS3 controller. This is incorrect, Sony won for their dual shock analog controller. The award is from the Video Game Technology Group. It was nominated by our internal group and considered along with the Nintendo D-Pad both of which were considered Emmy worthy for the development of the generation of controllers that followed the classic joysticks.
Also receiving an Emmy was John Carmack:
id Software had the honor of winning two Technology Emmy Awards from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on January 8, 2007. The awards were given as part of the Science, Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards ceremony.
The Pioneering Development Work in 3D Game Engines award was won by John Carmack, co-founder and technical director of id Software, for his cutting edge contributions to rendering technology as the lead programmer on DOOM. id Software, a quintessential leader in technology development, was awarded a second Emmy for the company's technological leadership in rendering breakthroughs with the QUAKE technology.
The Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards honor achievements in two areas: Science, Engineering & Technology for Broadcast Television, which includes broadcast, cable and satellite distribution, and secondly, Science, Engineering and Technology for Broadband and Personal Television, encompassing interactive television, gaming technology, and for the first time, the Internet, cell phones, private networks, and personal media players. This year represents a milestone for the interactive entertainment industry as id Software is the very first independent game developer to be awarded an Emmy since the Academy began honoring technology innovation in 1948.
"This is an incredible honor for John Carmack and id Software," says Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software. "We consistently push the limits of gaming technology, and it's great to be recognized for the passion and dedication we put into our games."

Andrea Hunley won the Democratic nomination for the new State Senate District 46 seat with 44 percent of the vote. She beat four other candidates in Tuesday’s primary election and will face Republican Evan Shearin this fall; he ran unopposed.
Hunley is an educator and current Indianapolis Public Schools principal. She declared victory in an online message.
“Ya’ll we made history today electing the first Black Senator for District 46,” she said.
In answer to questions from WFYI Hunley said affordable housing and health care were top issues for voters she talked to.
District 46 was created last year, through the state’s redistricting process. The Indianapolis seat represents parts of the city’s westside, eastside, southside and downtown.
City-County Councilor Kristin Jones had the party endorsement, but finished in second with just 26 percent of the vote.
The other Democrats in the primary were:
- Nonprofit leader Ashley Eason
- Marion County Prosecutor's Office Community Outreach Director Karla Lopez Owens
- Paralegal Bobby Kern
Republican Evan Shearin ran uncontested. He is a consultant and Navy veteran. Indiana’s General Election is Nov. 8.

MARSGL peptide (H-Met-Ala-Arg-Ser-Gly-Leu-OH) has high affinity to the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpressing in various tumor cells. Copper-64 (Cu) is a useful radionuclide in nuclear medicine, and can be produced by the cyclotron. In this study, we designed and synthesized Cu-labeled MARSGL peptide conjugated with 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) as a novel positron emission tomography (PET) imaging probe for HER2 overexpressing tumors. The formation of Cu-DOTA-MARSGL was determined by TLC and HPLC compared with a non-radioactive preparation. It was confirmed that Cu-DOTA-MARSGL was obtained in high radiochemical yield more than 94%. We also examined a stability of Cu-DOTA-MARSGL . The chromatogram was not changed after incubation in physiological saline at 37C overnight. In order to evaluate the usefulness as a PET imaging probe, further studies on the stability in human or mice plasma and the cellular uptake are in progress.

From Pemmican Trails
Length: 24.4 km km
Effort: ~10 hrs (2 days)
The J.E.T.\ Packhorse trail starts beside an agricultural field and then climbs steadily for about 400 meters up onto the Manitoba Escarpment in Riding Mountain National Park. This two day loop can be formed by connecting the J.E.T. and Packhorse trails with a short segment of the North Escarpment trail. Highlights include backcountry camping, views over the surrounding landscape, stream crossings, and some great uphill and downhill sections that will get your thighs pumping.
There are no blazes or signs at frequent intervals along this trail; however, it would be very difficult to lose your way. The trail is wide and surrounded on both sides by thick bush, there are few side trails and all junctions are clearly marked by large green signs.
Both campsites along this trail are well equipped with a privy, fire-pit, food storage bins, and even an ample supply of dry firewood. Additionally, the Breezy Hill campsite has a corral for horses and hitching posts.
This trail can be used at anytime of the year. During the warmer months the trail is used by hikers, horseback riders, and bikers. During the winter, persons on snowshoes can travel along these trails which are often packed; however, keep in mind that the parking lot at trailhead on the eastern park boundary is not cleared of snow. If you are planning a winter excursion on this trail, consider parking at the North or South Escarpment trailheads instead, which are often plowed throughout the winter.
Dangers and Annoyances
The map at the trailhead and also the purchased, plasticized maps available at the Visitor Center have a slight inaccuracy. Both maps place the turnoff to Breezy Hill Campsite at a +-shaped junction with the JET trail; however, this is not the case. The turnoff to Breezy Hill Campsite is at a separate junction about 0.8 km north of the junction between the JET and North Escarpment trails.
There are two minor stream crossings on this trail, small – but enough to get your feet wet. Use proper technique when fording these streams and always wear protective footwear. Remember that heavy rain or snow melt can cause streams to swell, making them difficult or even impossible to cross.
Many wild animals live near or on this trail. Be sure to use the food storage bins provided at the campsites and don’t be overly alarmed if you hear or see animals dart off the trail ahead of you.
At the time of writing, entry into the park costs 7.80$ per day. Youths can get in for half that price. A backcountry camping permit is required for each night you stay on the trail and costs 9.80$ per night. For permits call (204) 848-7275. Cairn’s Cabin costs 24.50$ per person to rent for the night. Be sure to check with Riding Mountain National Park for the most recent price scheme.
- Both stream crossings are only a few kilometers from the trailhead, which means that it is well worth the effort of keeping your shoes dry -- at least on the hike in.
The trailhead is located on the eastern park boundary. There is a wooden, park sign marking the start of the trail and a tiny, grass parking lot with barely enough room for two cars – whether or not there is space for a second car depends on how well the first car is parked.
East Deep Lake Campsite
This pretty campsite is situated beside a small lake at the north end of the North Escarpment trail. There are a couple picnic tables, fire pits, a privy, food storage bins and stocked firewood. Note that at the time of writing one of the picnic tables and the larger of the fire pits were both buried beneath a large, fallen tree.
here is also a water pump here; however, a sign beside it indicates that the water from this well is not potable. Instead, water should be collected directly from the lake and boiled before drinking. This campsite has enough space for at least half a dozen tents.
Breezy Hill Campsite
This campsite is indeed breezy and as you may have guessed it is located on the side of a hill. This campsite is by far the more popular of the two on the North Escarpment trail, probably due to the fact that it has a corral for horses. Amenities include fire pits, stocked wood, picnic tables, a (woman’s only!) privy, hitching posts, and food storage bins. Water can be collected by following the blue, water sign to a nearby stream; this water should definitely be boiled or properly treated before drinking.
There is actually a lot of space at this site for tents, if fact there is even a whole secondary area for tents a little further up the hill behind the fire wood. This area is a little better sheltered than the lower area and may provide added protection from the winds, if they are particularly strong from the north.
A free visitors guide is available upon entering Riding Mountain National Park. This guide contains a small map of the park which is quite sufficient for hiking this trail. Larger water-resistant versions of this map are available from the Visitors Center (open Spring to Fall) in the town of Wasagaming.
The following is a print-quality image of the freely available park map. Click on the image below to view a larger version of the map and then click on "Full Resolution" to view the full-sized image. You can right-click the full-sized image and select "Save Image As" to save the map to your hard drive.
The following maps were taken off of the sign at the trailhead. Note the slight inaccuracy on the one map that has been corrected in red ink. The elevation maps are not very clear, but they show that the J.E.T. and Packhorse trails undergo about 400 meters in elevation change.
Getting to the trailhead from Winnipeg is straightforward and takes about 3 hours (~248 km). Follow the Trans-Canada Highway #1 West out of Winnipeg past Portage la Prairie. Turn north onto Highway #16 and take this road into the city of Neepawa. Continue straight down Highway #16 and then shortly after passing the McDonalds and Petro Canada in Neepawa, turn North onto Highway #5. Follow this road until you see the turn off for PR #462 (on your right) and then make a left turn onto the dirt road opposite it. (This turnoff is about 5 km past the junction with Highway #19 that leads to the park’s East Gate). Drive straight down this dirt road until it veers left. Shortly after this bend you will see a tiny parking lot for the trail on your right. This parking lot is about a hundred meters before the dirt road suddenly ends.

Just a follow up ...
I ended up replacing the rear calipers. Purchased complete loaded rear calipers (Motorcraft) from Rock Auto. While I was there, I added new brake line hoses to each wheel. The front wheels only needed new pads. I installed new back plates for the front that have been sitting in the garage for over a year. Mine were rusted away. The new front brake line hoses will have to wait until spring. I also discovered the drivers tie rod end was bad. I have replaced this twice before. I had to add two washers under the nut because the hole for the cotter pin was over the nut. So I now have to replace the knuckle / spindle.
I still have the rear end noise. Hopefully that problem will wait for spring.

Piriformis is a crucial landmark since it divides the greater sciatic foramen into two regions, one above and one below the piriformis. The piriformis muscle is the most superior of the deep group of muscles and is a muscle of the pelvic wall and of the gluteal region.
Passes laterally and inferiorly via the greater sciatic foramen and it stems from in between the anterior sacral foramina on the anterolateral surface of the sacrum.
Ventral rami of first and second sacral nerves (S1, S2).
- It assists in turning the foot out, drawing the leg far from the body when the leg is bent and extension of the hip joint.
- Contraction of the piriformis muscle moves the body in various instructions depending upon which bones do exactly what.
- If the sacrum is steady the leg ends up however if the leg is fixed, movement will come through the pelvis.
- It assists to support the hip joint.
- It is the lateral rotator of femur when the hip joint is extended and its abductor when the joint is bent.
- The piriformis muscle travels from the sacrum across the buttocks to the femur.
- The sciatic nerve is located perpendicular to and just below the piriformis muscle.
- Since of its proximity to the sciatic nerve, soreness and swelling (edema) of the piriformis muscle can trigger compression of the sciatic nerve, resulting in low back, buttock, and posterior leg pain. This is called piriformis syndrome.
- Health examination often reveals unique tender locations in the piriformis muscle and increased pain with flexion, adduction, and internal rotation of the hip
- Recently, more recent diagnostic studies such as MR neurography and interventional MR imaging have been revealed to confirm the medical diagnosis of piriformis syndrome, MRI studies might be suggested to rule out lumbar disc herniation.
- The piriformis muscle can be hurt during grappling maneuvers that involve forceful external rotation, flexion, and abduction of the hip.
- A careful physical examination and history are required because this syndrome can mimic the symptoms of a lumbar disc herniation Piriformis muscle injury and subsequent piriformis syndrome are detected clinically.
- The treatment of piriformis syndrome includes relative rest, osteopathic administration, physical treatment, and periodic corticosteroid injections.
- Lying on the stomach with the impacted hip flexed and externally turned eliminates Spasms of the piriformis muscle can be quickly.
- This maneuver puts the piriformis muscle in a relaxed position. Surgery is hardly ever indicated.

The legendary Cicely Tyson has been blazing her own trail in Hollywood for over 60 years. Through her incredible body of work and commitment to only accepting uplifting roles that capture the true essence of a Black woman, Tyson has paved the way for generations of Black women in the entertainment industry – such as the incomparable Viola Davis. In a recent article for Vanity Fair, Davis wrote about Tyson’s incredible influence on her life and career. It’s well-worth the read.
“Ms. Cicely Tyson is elegance personified. She is excellence. She is courage. When I think of her, I think of the Stevie Wonder song: ‘Show me how to do like you. Show me how to do it.’
The first time I encountered her I was a little girl living in a tenement building in Central Falls, Rhode Island, where we had electricity in only one part of the apartment, and hooked our television into an extension cord we ran from one side to the other. There, sitting on the floor with my sisters, I watched the made-for-TV movie ‘The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman,’ in which she depicts a woman’s life from her enslavement on a southern plantation at about age 23, to her joining the civil rights movement at nearly 110. When my sister said, ‘That’s the same actress,’ I couldn’t believe it. Back then, I lived in a sea of white faces, onscreen and off, and here was this woman who looked like me—and she was performing magic.

Good actors, through very hard work, are able to transform for a role, but Ms. Tyson—the Harlem-born daughter of immigrants, discovered in her teens by an Ebony magazine photographer—transcends that. She embodies the depth of a character, her history, her memory. It was impossible not to fall in love with everything she did, this chocolate girl with a short fro fighting to portray a wide-ranging humanity too rarely afforded to actresses of color: our sexuality, our anger, our joy, our wildness. As a teenager I watched her heart-rending performances in her Academy Award-nominated role in ‘Sounder,’ and alongside Richard Pryor in ‘Bustin’ Loose,’ and as a Chicago schoolteacher in ‘The Marva Collins Story. Later, when I was a student at a Circle in the Square Theatre workshop, I came across photos of her on Broadway in the 60s, sharing the stage with Alvin Ailey and Claudia McNeil in ‘Tiger Tiger Burning Bright,’ and shining in Sidney Poitier’s staging of ‘Carry Me Back to Morningside Heights.’
When I was cast as Annalise in ABC’s ‘How to Get Away With Murder,’ I could think of no one other than Ms. Tyson to play her mother. Those first scenes we filmed together were more poignant than I could have imagined. There I was sitting on the floor like a little girl again, no wig, no makeup, and there was the then-91-year-old Ms. Tyson behind me, all grace and grit, her strong hands parting my hair and scratching my scalp the way hundreds of thousands of black mothers have done for their daughters; the way mine did for me.
A few years ago she told me a story about how, when she played Jane Foster on ‘East Side/West Side’ with her own short hair, almost 50 years before I first bared my own on network television, she would get a boatload of mail every week—a boatload, she kept saying that word—from African American women who said she was a disgrace to the race, wearing her nappy hair and looking ugly on screen. ‘You also took that wig off, and you also got a boatload of messages,’ she said to me. ‘But they were all positive.’ Those famous Shakespeare lines comes to mind: “O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend the brightest heaven of invention.’ Ms. Tyson has always been my muse, leading me down this path of life, holding the lantern, paving the way.”
Ms. Tyson, we thank you for being an inspiration and a positive representation for generations of women who look like you.

The testing of the products has often been delayed because of the movement of samples from the production sites to the UNBS testing labs in Kireka, which led to more expenses on the part of the producers.
The Uganda National Bureau of Standards is set to start mobile laboratory testing for selected products. The products include masks and
Personal Protective Equipment for medical workers, which are authorized by the government in the fight against COVID 19.
The testing of
the products has often been delayed because of the movement of samples from the
production sites to the UNBS testing labs in Kireka, which led to more
expenses on the part of the producers.
Now, UNBS will be able to test the products from anywhere, thanks to a donation of equipment by the Private Sector Foundation Uganda in partnership with the
MasterCard Foundation. According to UNBS the equipment also includes maize grain and flour quality
UNBS Executive Director, David Livingstone
Ebiru says that they will now be able to test all textile products produced
in Uganda, as well as leather products like shoes, bags and belts which
have until now not undergone effective standard regulations. This, he adds, will help in the bid to support the COVID-19 recovery and resilience amongst Micro, Small and
Medium Enterprises as the process for
them will be quicker and less costly.
//Cue in; “We are particularly…
Cue out ….standards house.”//
Ebiru says the equipment received can also test for the presence of the dreaded aflatoxin which has recently threatened the Uganda grain export markets. Earlier this year, Kenya threatened to ban Uganda’s maize over aflatoxins, but the move was called off after talks, and Kenyan authorities instead issued stricter conditions on the importation of the product.
The maize-testing equipment can also cater for other contaminants in grain and flour, including those that can count bacteria numbers and measure their volumes.
“The equipment received includes an automatic colony counter for microbiological analysis; aflatoxin reader/kits and portable moisture meters for grain field-testing and a washing machine for personal protective equipment (PPE) testing (including masks),” Ebiru says. He added that the mobile testing capacity reduces
turnaround time and increases the speed with which the Certificate of
Analysis is completed to support businesses in getting the quality mark.
This comes as a relief to grain exporters who were decrying the strict and lengthy process of testing and certifying the products before they are allowed to cross the borders. Some said they were spending as long as two weeks at the border awaiting the results of the sample tests, which disrupts the market planning.
UNBS says the new equipment is a boost to UNBS Laboratory testing capacity by enabling mobile testing of samples in the field, in addition to the fixed laboratory testing done at the UNBS headquarters in Bweyogerere.
“We can now undertake mobile tests most especially for Aflatoxins within the maize value chain at the warehouses and millers’ premises. This will help us to increase the outreach to maize dealers across the country as opposed to them bringing the samples to the fixed laboratory equipment at standards house,” Said Mr David Livingstone Ebiru.
The Grain Council of Uganda says the slow process of testing and certifying is over of the main issues affecting the market because sometimes, by the time the process is done, the market conditions have changed, leading to losses.
“Grain is a 12 billion Shillings per day business. This requires faster processes. Traders need the testing because it gives the market confidence in the product you are selling to them,” says Chris Kaijuka, the Board Chairman, Grain Council of Uganda.
Francis Kisirinya, the Acting PSFU Executive Director says industries that sprung up due to covid-19 took the regulators by surprise, and therefore, there was no capacity to test the product standard.
He says that there is a double advantage in the donation because the equipment to be used to test the standards of face masks can be used to test the textile quality.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 219
Rated 2 out of 5 by notuptoexpectations Not up to par with previous Sheraton stays
I had booked stays at this hotel for 2 wknds in a row. During the first stay we had issues with a number of things so I cancelled our next stay altogether and made alternate arrangements which worked out really well:
1. Dirty toilet on check in
2. wasted 45 mins waiting for housekeeping to come clean the toilet
3. piece of broken glass near our bed (luckily no injury)
4. noisy pipes at random times throughout the day/night disrupting our sleep & stay
5. Hot tub was out of order
6. water temperature fluctuated throughout our stay and not fixed when reported.
7. Because I was staying the next wknd, I left a feedback form/note and requested a call from a manager and the call wasn't returned until I called in and asked for a discussion. then we played phone tag for 2 days because she would call me just before ending her shift, then didn't call the next day when stated and finally by the time I got a hold of her I had already cancelled. She offered to upgrade me to a suite for my stay but it was already cancelled so too little too late.
8. our swipe cards are only coded for the floor you're staying on which makes it extremely difficult (& usually we just gave up) to visit friend//family/guests on other floors...really frustrating.
9. Extremely slow elevators
That's a lot of issues for one weekend stay. Overall, not up to par with any previous Sheraton stay I've ever had.
However, our in room breakfast was excellent and front desk staff were friendly....I think the issues we had related to housekeeping & timeliness of attention to our issues by management and housekeeping/maintenance. Would not recommend staying at this particular hotel.

Our power went out at home and I called the general reservations to book a hotel for that night but was told it was all sold out. I decided to call the hotel directly and the front desk agent was able to find 1 room available for me at my travel agent discount. She was very helpful and we had a great stay.

this hotel was typical of most Sheratons; modern, clean and comfortable. the pleasantness of the staff and how accommodating they were is what sets this Sheraton apart from all others. good job. this location is a bit far from Vancouver but for the price you cant beat it. plus you are just a few miles from the highway from which you can get to downtown Vancouver in about 30 minutes, ferry terminals in about 40, and the usa border in about 20.
