The Little Book of the Wild Atlantic Way|Helen Lee|The History Press|£14.99|Hardback|ISBN 9780750992015
by Helen Lee
Since its inception in 2014, most of the books published about the Wild Atlantic Way are photography books showing the stunning scenery along the 2,600km length of Ireland’s Atlantic coast. There is no shortage of photographic opportunities as waves ebb and flow on the beaches and crash on the rocky shoreline. The ever-changing weather means that from one minute to the next there is a different photograph.
But there is a lot more to the Wild Atlantic Way than just scenery. Centuries of Ireland’s history has played out along this coastline. People who became famous, and sometimes not so famous, patriots, explorers and writers were born or lived along on the Atlantic seaboard. Dotted along its length are lighthouses, castles, abbeys and towers, some ruined, some still standing strong against the Atlantic winds, but all with a history.
In 2019 1.6 million people visited the Cliffs of Moher in Co. Clare, making it the second most visited attraction in Ireland, after the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin. Some of those visitors were lucky to get photographs of the sheer cliffs in brilliant sunshine, others will not have been as fortunate. For the tourists, who only saw the mist, they could console themselves with a book of photographs from the gift shop. But did those visitors know that the nineteenth-century landowner, Cornelius O’Brien ordered the first paths to be laid along the Cliffs so that people could enjoy the view and that he also built the viewing tower still perched on the edge of the cliffs to this day? In fact, it was said that the only thing that O’Brien did not build in the district was the cliffs! Those same visitors probably passed through the nearby village of Liscannor not knowing that it was the birthplace, in 1841, of John Holland, the inventor of the submarine.
The Little Book of the Wild Atlantic Way is a miscellany of the historical events, people and buildings that contributed to making this coast more than just a photographer’s paradise. The book begins at the south of the Wild Atlantic Way, at Kinsale in Co. Cork, with the story of the Battle of Kinsale, when, in 1603 the Gaelic lords of Ireland, with assistance from the Spanish, were defeated by the forces of Queen Elizabeth I. Conveniently, this story finishes at the northern end of the Wild Atlantic Way, in Co. Donegal, when, in 1607, the Earls of Tyrone and Tyrconnell who had fought at Kinsale and were unwilling to live under English rule, fled Ireland from Rathmullan in what is known as The Flight of the Earls.
The first chapter of The Little Book of the Wild Atlantic Way begins with an historical timeline, outlining the significant events that occurred from prehistoric times to the present. Each of the following chapters is dedicated to a county or two. Beginning in Co. Cork, read about how the Fastnet Rock proved to be a challenging place to build a lighthouse. Often referred to as the ‘Tear Drop of Ireland’, it was the last land mark of Ireland that many an emigrant saw as they sailed for America. It was into Bantry Bay that Theobald Wolfe Tone sailed in 1796, with a fleet of French ships, ready to invade Ireland, only to be thwarted by bad weather.
In Co. Kerry, in the lead up the the Easter Rising of 1916, Sir Roger Casement attempted, unsuccessfully, to land a consignment of weapons at Banna Strand near Tralee. As a result the Rising almost did not go ahead. The first casualties of the Rising died near Killorglin.
On the Shannon Estuary at Foynes, Co. Limerick, a transatlantic flying boat port was opened in 1937. It was there that the Irish Coffee was invented.
On the other side of the estuary, in Co. Clare read the story of The Colleen Bawn, an innocent farm girl who was murdered in 1819.
The picturesque Dunguaire Castle, tucked into an inlet of Galway Bay at Kinvara has been in the ownership of some colourful characters. In the city of Galway read about the three St Nicholas churches in which Galwegians have worshipped since 1320.
Co. Mayo felt the full impact of one of the most significant events in Ireland’s history, the Irish Potato Famine of the 1840s. Fittingly the National Famine Memorial is located at Murrisk on Clew Bay at the foothill of Croagh Patrick. One of the most tragic stories of the Famine period occurred near there. The county also boasts the oldest known field system in Europe. The Ceide Fields, on the edge of the Atlantic coast are thought to date from 3200 BC.
In Co. Sligo read about how the poet William Butler Yeats died in France in 1939 and was later brought back to Ireland to be reburied at Drumcliffe, and his friend, Countess Markievicz, who was the first woman elected to the British House of Commons.
With just 6 km of coastline even Co. Leitrim has a story. In the seventeenth century, at a monastery on the banks of the Drones river, four monks wrote the first history of Ireland which became known as The Annals of the Four Masters.
Co. Donegal, with its much longer coastline was the birthplace of St Colmcille, who left Ireland for Scotland after causing a war. Read about the sunken treasure which still lies on the wreck of the Laurentic at the bottom of Lough Swilly. The ship was torpedoed by a German U-boat in 1917.
These are just a hint of the type of stories to read in The Little Book of the Wild Atlantic Way. So, if you are heading west this summer, and plan on touring any part of the Wild Atlantic Way, this ‘Little Book’ is the ideal companion book to keep in your glove compartment, and to take out and dip into, allowing you to take in more that just the spectacular scenery of The Wild Atlantic Way.

ARTICLE : AMP hit with new class action
Samantha Bailey, The
Australian, 27 June 2019, page 20
A second law firm has filed a class action against financial services giant AMP on behalf of superannuation fund members who were allegedly charged unreasonable fees.
After announcing an intention to file back in May, Slater & Gordon filed a class action on behalf of super members yesterday, alleging that more than 2 million Australians had been charged excessive fees on their superannuation accounts.
It also alleges that customers failed to secure an appropriate return on cash-only investment options. “Superannuation members trusted that AMP would act in their best interests when managing their retirement savings,” senior associate Nathan Rapoport said. “Instead, they charged exorbitant fees.
“Both AMP Super and NM Super, as trustees of the funds, should have taken steps to secure the best deal for members on a commercial, arms-length basis.” He said that members who had funds deposited in cash- only investment options were shortchanged because they received interest rates below what a reasonable and diligent trustee could have obtained on the open market.
AMP said the proceedings would be “vigorously defended”.
“AMP and the trustees of its superannuation funds are firmly committed to acting in the best interests of their superannuation members and acting in accordance with legal and regulatory obligations,” the company said. “We encourage any customers who have concerns to contact AMP. We have reduced the administration fees on some of our cash investment options to address the issue of negative returns in the small number of funds impacted by this issue.
“We are also compensating ¬affected customers for lost earnings.” The case, funded by Therium Litigation Finance, claims compensation for AMP’s conduct dating as far back as July 1, 2008.
The class action comes after AMP’s reputation was battered by the Hayne royal commission.
The commission heard one case of a client losing money after the cash deposit was eaten up by investment and administration fees. It also heard allegations that AMP misled ASIC in the fee-for-no-service scandal, and claims that AMP’s board had tampered with an independent report on an investigation into the scandal by law firm Clayton Utz.
The revelations forced the exit of chairman Catherine Brenner and former chief Craig Meller.
Slater & Gordon rival Maurice Blackburn filed a class action against AMP last month, alleging super members were charged high fees. The Federal Court will now decide which of the two law firms will proceed with the class action.
AMP is facing a separate class action brought by Maurice Blackburn over disclosure obligations, after the latter won the right to proceed in the NSW Supreme Court, beating four other firms. AMP shares closed up 2 per cent at $2.07 yesterday.

What is Dry Needling?
Dry Needling is a much more recent medical technique and is different to the ancient eastern medicine treatment of Acupuncture even tho acupuncture needles are used. It involves the use of needles into damaged muscle to correct tight, damaged or inflamed tissue. Using both the ancient concept of Chinese Acupuncture by restoring the flow of ‘Chi’ (Energy) and the Western belief that the needle insertion triggers a natural healing reaction in your body. Your body does this by, releasing opiates (pain-relieving hormones) from the brain or nervous system, to the muscle cells to promote blood flow and healing. In short… by inserting the needle into the injured area, your brain jump starts into self healing mode by producing more protein and blood flow, sending it to the injury site, to heal itself along with natural pain relief! Simples!
When would you need Dry Needling!
When you are in pain or injured I’m thinking you want to find the FASTEST way of getting back to full health as possible. Dry needling will provide this for you. It will target pain and discomfort specifically where it is stemming from and it also boosts blood flow to your muscles allowing you to feel looser and more pain-free after your treatment.
What is the difference between Dry-needling and Acupuncture?
Dry needling is performed by western medical practitioners and physical therapists, using acupuncture needles, to treat conditions specifically related to musculo-skeletal conditions. Acupuncture is based on a two thousand year old Chinese medicine ethos, using meridians in the body to challenge all types of physical and psychological ailments. It would be incorrect to assume that a practitioner who uses dry-needling as part of a treatment process is also an Acupuncturist.
NB* Dry Needling is used as only part of your treatment plan. Physical Therapy will be the main focus in the healing process as it concentrates on the Bio-mechanics of your injury. But a multi-dimensional treatment plan which includes dry-needling is a sure-fire way to promote a successful recovery for you!*
What conditions will Dry-Needling treat?
LOADS!! From Whiplash to tendonitis, no matter what your injury or pain, dry needling will relax your muscles, reducing pain and stiffness. Combined with pain relieving hormones released from your brain, it will make you feel more restful and pain free. Also, it is used for specific conditions like, TMJ, inflammation, muscle tears and it’s especially great for Symphysis Pubis in pregnancy.
“Dry needling has proven itself to be a valuable tool in promoting self healing in the body for all physical ailments and has halved healing time in my practice. It has also reduced the ‘rest period’ that is usually required from an athlete or sports person to start the healing process.”
Lorraine Blackshields – Procuro Physical Therapy Clinic, Cork (January 2017)

What’s that in the cover photo? No, it is probably not a UFO parked on an office building. The official story, if you believe it, is that the dome is the symbolic crescendo for the new Supreme Court and the focus of today's post. For today, you can expect me to go into the research behind the building’s history and symbolic intent.Read More
How could a building possibility hold cultural value? Architecture is not just about bricks and mortar. The structural design imbues ideologies and beliefs into our built environments, and from that our human responses are what define us. Culture comes from the peculiar habits and ongoings that are afforded by the places we call home, which is why Dakota Crescent is of such great significance to the history of architecture.Read More
Pulau Ubin is a small island northeast of mainland Singapore accessible to tourists by bumboats from the Changi Point Ferry Terminal. The boat is the first environment to signal the island's identity. The fare is a mere $3 per ride, and passengers are to sit on a basic wooden bench facing each other. It appears like a miracle that anything in Singapore could be in such a condition considered the harsh domination of modernity in mainland Singapore. There are none of the HDB flats and expressways so common to the city. The island’s identity is as an escape into the past, but its very existence is dependent on Singapore’s Modernity.Read More
SINGAPORE—Toa Payoh has an outsized role in the history of Singapore’s urban planning. When construction started in 1964, it was expected to set the course for the future of public housing, which is now how 80% of the citizens are housed. The aesthetics, form, and planning for the area have set the tone for the Singapore heartlands. It followed Queenstown’s lead by becoming the second public housing satellite town, and the first to be planned and built entirely by the Housing & Development Board (HDB).Read More
LITTLE COMPTON—Rhode Island. Yes, it’s real, and not a conspiracy by Delaware to avoid being labeled the smallest state in the US! The images for this post were captured in late August.
This is just my second time visiting Little Compton, but the first time visiting with a keen eye for architecture and landscaping. Also, the first time was November and the weather was absolutely miserable. I’m pleased with how the images have turned out, and it also turned my interest in getting to understanding a bit about how the area came to be what it is now. At the surface, a deep admiration for colonialist tradition was evident. The British-style stone walls and rolling green fields look like an attempted carbon copy of the British countryside. So, I do that. Join along for a little dig into the origins of Little Compton.Read More

Wynter Gordon Wrote the Lyrics to 'Everything Burns' On a Piece of Paper For Us (And Then Burned It!)
It's the debut single from her new project The Righteous Young.
Singer-songwriter Wynter Gordon, who first lit up the charts in 2010 with her single "Dirty Talk," has a new side project called The Righteous Young. To introduce us to her new band's debut single "Everything Burns," Wynter hand wrote out the lyrics on a sheet for us to show. And then she promptly lit it on fire. That's her above, holding the paper as it goes up in flames, which, for a song called "Everything Burns," actually makes a whole lot of sense. Check out the handwritten lyrics below, both before and after the sheet went up in smoke.
And here's the aftermath:
"Everything Burns," according to Gordon, "is an open letter to all the leading men in my life, starting with my father." A close reading of the song suggests that Wynter's fire metaphor represents her internal rage and her desire to wipe the slate clean by burning everything and starting anew. Listen to the song below, via the "Everything Burns" music video:

The ONLY thing I would do different, is add more tomatoes. This is a very flavorful bread and the bites with the tomato in them were the very best of the best.
I used 4 tomatoes but next time will use 6.
1This is the cheese I used. You will want to use a cheese with a strong flavor so it will stand out in the bread. Reserve about 2 oz. to put on top after baking.
2Peel and crush two or three garlic cloves and place in a pan with 1/2 c of butter or olive oil. Simmer on very low for a few minutes. You will use 2 tbsp. in the bread dough, the rest is for roasting tomatoes and brushing baking dish.
3Add ingredients into bread pan according to manufactures instructions, all except cheese and yeast. Make an indention in the flour after it is in the bread pan and add yeast.
4Set on DOUGH ONLY cycle. As soon as the dough has begun to form a ball, add 6 oz.of the cheese a little at a time allowing it to work into the dough before adding more. If you add all at once it will not mix in evenly.
5Pour just enough garlic infused butter or olive oil in non stick skillet to just barely coat bottom. Slice about 4 tomatoes into med. slices. Simmer on one side for about 4 min. then flip and simmer another min or two. Remove and set aside.
6Allow bread to knead and rise. Once done, remove and place in 11x13 baking pan that has been thoroughly brushed with garlic infused butter or olive oil.
7Spread out with fingertips till it fills the pan. Make indention in dough with finger tips.
8Place pan roasted tomatoes on top of dough. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Cover with a hand towel and place in warm spot to rise.
9When dough has risen (doubled) heat oven to 400°. Sprinkle on coarse sea salt. Bake 20-22 min. As soon as you remove from oven, drop remaining cheese on top. Allow to cool and garnish with chopped fresh basil.

The verdict “is a clear message for political vigilantes to go intimidate and instigate, trying to get a reaction and try to kill in the name of self-defense,” Kingfisher said. Continue reading

REPUBLICAN senators may exclude a second $1,200 stimulus check from their new "skinny" package.
The pared-back proposal is set to be revealed on Tuesday after Senate lawmakers held conference calls with GOP leaders last week.
It will also reportedly decrease the $1trillion HEALS Act and strengthen their negotiating position with Democrats – but there was no mention of another check, Forbes noted.
Senate leadership informed GOP aides that the “skinny” bill would be released on Tuesday, according to Politico.
They said this revised Senate proposal would include $300 weekly enhanced unemployment benefits.
This is up from the $200 Republicans had included in the HEALs Act – but it also ties in with the amount of extended federal aid Trump directed in his August memorandum, Forbes noted.
More aid for small businesses via additional funding for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) will be included.
Likewise, there will be funding included for health and education.
It's expected that Republicans will continue to push for a business liability shield to employers from coronavirus-related lawsuits.
GOP aides revealed that their "skinny" bill would also include $10billion for the USPS.
This is far less than the $25billion in funding the House of Representatives will vote on this Saturday.
A second stimulus check had appeared to enjoy broad, bipartisan support across party lines.
On Sunday, Meadows spoke about funding for the USPS and also mentioned hat the White House would be open to upping the $10million amount.
He said other stimulus relief components, like the $1,200, could be bundled in together.

"Let's go ahead and get a stimulus check out to Americans," he said.

Hilary Mantel interview
The best of the world's arts, film, music and literature brought to you every day. Presented by Harriett Gilbert
The prize-winning writer Hilary Mantel joins Harriett Gilbert on The Strand to discuss how the supernatural permeates her work in mysterious ways.
From her own childhood visions of malevolent spirits and her adult experience of witchcraft in Botswana, to her 16th Century English protagonist Thomas Cromwell’s beliefs in an afterlife and a judgement day – Hilary Mantel ponders the existence of ghosts and whether or not she is haunted by the characters in her historical fiction.
Having already won the Man Booker prize for Wolf Hall (in 2009) and Bring Up the Bodies (in 2012), we’re just days away from finding out if the second book in her epic Cromwell trilogy will be selected as the Costa Book of the Year (to be announced on 29th Jan).

In a bold move by the Irish government, Irish banks will be told to forgive substantial amounts of mortgage payments by borrowers.
The new law will lower monthly payments for tens of thousands of Irish mortgage holders.
“For the banks, where there are losses, they have to be recognized,” Alan Shatter, Ireland’s justice minister, who has sponsored the new law, called the Personal Insolvency Bill.
He told The New York Times: “This legislation gives homeowners hope for their future.”
The Irish foreclosure rate is very high but unlike in the U.S, there have been very few evictions which are seen as socially unacceptable and have proven very unpopular.
The new laws seek to end the continuing stalemate by creating new consumer debt and bankruptcy law.
The Irish attempt to reset mortgage payment debt will be watched closely elsewhere in other European countries with similar problems.

- Trial Preparation & Representation
These are the main advantages that come along with choosing a lawyer that is the real deal and is going to have your best interests at heart.
What Type of Damages Can I Recover?
You are able to recover the following damages through a personal injury claim in Oldsmar, Florida:
These are the first damages most people are going to look towards when it comes to personal injury claims. The idea is to focus on expenses that were paid out of pocket to manage the underlying symptoms of your personal injury (i.e. medical bills, rehab). This can also include job-related losses.
If you have dealt with resulting mental health issues due to the stress of what’s taken place, this can be cited as non-economic damage including any changes to your lifestyle due to the incident.
This is rare but it can take place depending on whether or not the other party broke the law. This includes punishment for their actions that go above and beyond your role in the case.
How is Liability Determined?
In Florida injury claims you must prove the following four elements of negligence:
Duty of Care
Florida looks at comparative negligence, which means there is a determination made based on how responsible the party was for what took place. They are only held responsible for that portion based on their duty of care (i.e. driver breaking the rules of the road).
Breach of Duty of Care
If there is any type of breach in this duty of care and it leads to your personal injury, this would be deemed as a part of the liability process. The judge would go through the details to determine how liable both parties were in what took place.
If the party’s actions are the reason for the personal injury taking place, this is accounted for during the process while figuring out what is right and what is wrong.
The damages that take place including the injury are also accounted for during the legal proceedings. This includes any proof demonstrating the other party was solely responsible for their actions and what ended up happening.
How Much Time Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Florida?
You are going to have four years from the time of the personal injury. This is why it is recommended to have valid medical documentation in place to verify when the injury took place. This can make it easier to ensure you are on the right side of things when it comes to the statute of limitations.
For more information on how we go about representing you, feel free to call (888) 373-7770 and we will take a look at whether or not your case is valid.

Canon announces flagship EOS-1D X Mark II full-frame digital SLR
Canon has announced its new flagship DSLR, the full-frame EOS-1D X Mark II. It features a new 20.2MP CMOS sensor with Dual Pixel AF, and uses a pair of Dual DIGIC 6+ processors to capture 4K video and shoot continuously at up to 16 fps. The camera has a native ISO of 100-51200, expandable to 409600.
The new 61-point autofocus system has 41 cross-type sensors and 24% larger frame coverage than its predecessor. Its center point is sensitive to -3EV in OneShot AF. In live view the camera uses the latest iteration of Canon's Dual Pixel AF technology for high-speed focusing in OneShot mode. The metering system has also been updated to use a 360k-pixel RGB+IR sensor, which the company says improves subject - including face - detection and tracking.
As with its predecessors, the 1D X is as rugged a camera as you'll find. It's magnesium alloy body is fully weather-sealed and has a shutter that will last for approximately 400,000 cycles. In addition to its large optical viewfinder (now with better, adjustable AF point illumination), the Mark II has a 3.2" Clear View II LCD with 1.62 million dots, up from 1.04 million dots. The screen is touch-enabled, but only for autofocus point selection in Live View. Another new addition is a built-in GPS (with an e-compass), which sits in a 'hump' on the top of the viewfinder. Otherwise, the design of the Mark II is very similar to that of its predecessor.
Performance-wise, the 1D X II can shoot continuously at 14 fps with autofocus, and if you lock the mirror up, you can shoot up to 16 fps with locked focus and exposure. If you're using the older LP-E4N battery, the top shooting speeds drop to the same frame rates as the 1D X (12/14 fps). If you're using a CFast card you can take an unlimited number of JPEGs or a whopping 170 Raw images in a single burst, or 12 seconds of shooting at 14 fps. The 1D X II also has a slot for standard CompactFlash cards. When it comes to connecting to a PC you can choose from the camera's USB 3.0 or Ethernet ports. Wi-Fi requires the use of Canon's $600 WFT-E8 wireless file transmitter.
One of the most significant additions to the 1D X II is support for 4K (DCI) video capture. It can capture 4K video at 60p using the M-JPEG codec (which allows for easy frame grabs) as well as 1080p at frame rates of up to 120 fps. You'll need to use a CFast card in order to record more than a few seconds of 4K video though. Dual Pixel AF enables continuous autofocus in video, and touch focus makes the experience a breeze. The camera does not offer focus peaking or zebra patterns natively, but they are visible when using an external recorder. As one would expect given its place in Canon's lineup, the 1D X Mark II has both headphone and mic jacks.
The EOS-1D X Mark II will be available in April for $5999 (body only), or bundled with a 64GB CFast card and reader for $6299.
Fast, Formidable, and 4K, All-in-One Camera: CANON U.S.A. Introduces the EOS-1D X Mark II Professional Digital Camera
Delivering Precise and Reliable Performance with Versatility for Any Photo or Video Professional
MELVILLE, N.Y., February 1, 2016 – Rising to meet the rigorous and evolving demands of professional photographers and videographers, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, is proud to announce the new EOS-1D X Mark II DSLR camera. With a new 20.2 megapixel 35mm Full Frame Canon CMOS sensor and Dual DIGIC 6+ Image Processors, the EOS-1D X Mark II professional digital camera delivers stunning image quality and speed. Combining the ability to capture high-resolution still images at speeds up to 14 frames per second as well as stunning high-definition video up-to-4K 60P featuring Canon’s proprietary Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus (AF) technology, the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II camera becomes the ideal camera for any professional image creator.
The new flagship Canon EOS-1D X Mark II features several firsts for EOS cameras including:
- Newly developed 20.2 megapixel 35mm Full Frame Canon CMOS sensor;
- Continuous shooting speeds of up-to-14 frames per second (fps) with Auto Exposure (AE) and predictive AF for viewfinder shooting and up to 16 fps1 in Live View mode;
- Dual DIGIC 6+ Image Processors that transfer image data at extremely high speed for extended bursts during continuous shooting – up-to-170 consecutive RAW images at 14 fps. When shooting JPEG images you’re only limited by memory card capacity2
- Capable of shooting 4K 60P and Full HD 120P video with Dual Pixel CMOS AF;
- Enhanced wireless functionality (with the optional accessory Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E8) that supports the new high-speed IEEE 802.11ac standard and the ability to easily transfer photos and videos to compatible smartphones using Canon’s Camera Connect app*;
- Digital Lens Optimizer to help correct aberrations in-camera (a feature that previously required post-processing on an external computer);
- Improved 61-point viewfinder AF with expanded coverage and all AF-points selectable and supported to a maximum aperture of f/8;
- Improved AI Servo III+ predictive AF algorithm for better accuracy;
- Continuous red illumination of all AF points within the camera’s Intelligent Viewfinder II.
- Compatibility with both CF and CFast memory cards for optimal performance and versatility.
The Ultimate EOS Camera: Continuing a Legacy of High Speed and Performance
Building on the success of the Canon EOS-1D X professional digital camera, the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II camera is designed to deliver high-performance, speed, and image quality, with improved comfort for professional photographers. In addition to the new 20.2 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor and Dual DIGIC 6+ Image Processors, the new EOS-1D X Mark II DSLR camera includes an improved 61-point High-Density Reticular AF II system with all AF points selectable by the user (and up to 41 cross-type points depending on the lens in use). The improved AF system includes expanded coverage that supports AF at maximum apertures up to f/8 with all 61 points for high precision autofocus even when using EF super-telephoto lenses with an EF extender. The camera also boasts excellent dynamic range and reduced color noise compared to its predecessor throughout its standard ISO speed range of 100 - 51,200. Expansion ISO speeds of 50, 102,400, 204,800 and 409,600 are also available. A first for the Canon EOS-1D series, this camera also features a 360,000-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor with enhanced precision and performance compared to its predecessor, improving facial recognition and tracking, as well as nature scenes. Additionally, the advanced AE system can detect and compensate for flickering light sources such as sodium vapor lamps that are often used in gymnasiums and swimming pools. When enabled, this anti-flicker system automatically adjusts shutter release timing to help reduce disparities in exposure and color especially during continuous burst shooting.
For filmmakers and photographers looking to do more than still photography alone with a DSLR camera and EF lenses, the EOS-1D X Mark II camera offers high resolution DCI 4K video at frame rates up-to-60p, with smooth movie recording to an in-camera CFast 2.0 memory card. An additional card slot supports standard CF memory cards up to UDMA 7. The built-in headphone jack supports real-time audio monitoring. Two additional EOS ‘firsts’ include 4K Frame Grab and 120p Full HD recording. The camera’s 4K Frame Grab function allows users to isolate a frame from recorded 4K video and create an 8.8 megapixel still JPEG image in-camera. When combined with the EOS-1D X Mark II’s high-sensitivity full-frame CMOS sensor, the new camera’s ability to record Full HD video at frame rates up to 120p will allow videographers to produce high quality slow motion video even in extremely low light. To make video shooting even more intuitive, the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II camera’s touch-screen LCD allows videographers to select the camera’s AF point before and during video recording with Dual Pixel CMOS AF, which provides responsive, accurate and quiet camcorder-like video autofocus to DSLRs.
“The innovations within Canon’s new EOS-1D X Mark II DSLR camera clearly set a new standard for professional cameras,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “In developing the EOS-1D X Mark II camera, we looked to incorporate user-requested performance enhancements to bring professional photographers the ultimate EOS camera, a camera that has matured and been developed to meet their evolving needs.”
“Having f/8 capability on all 61 AF points is a tremendous benefit to wildlife photographers," noted nature photographer and Canon Explorer of Light Charles Glatzer. “In order to capture tight shots of animals without disturbing them, I frequently have to use very long lenses—sometimes with an extender attached, which further diminishes the aperture. The improved AF allows me to frame the shot exactly the way I envision it, without having to compromise.”
“This camera is a huge step forward,” remarked acclaimed photographer and Canon Explorer of Light Damian Strohmeyer. “Shooting sports in a gym at 8,000 ISO, it looked as good as 800 ISO from a generation or two ago. The images are tack-sharp, and the autofocus just doesn't miss. I've been amazed by what I've seen so far.”
“The autofocus was awesome,” agreed Peter Read Miller, sports photographer and Canon Explorer of Light. “The higher frame rate coupled with the speed of the CFast card was a definite advantage. It just never buffered out, even shooting RAW.”
The new EOS-1D X Mark II camera also offers a built-in GPS** receiver with compass for precise geo-tagged information of latitude, longitude, elevation and direction. This is especially valuable to wildlife photographers and photojournalists who need to track their locations, as well as providing sports photographers the ability to sync a multiple-camera setup with extreme accuracy and precision. It is also possible to use the camera’s built-in GPS to automatically sync the camera’s time to the atomic clock, an invaluable feature to professionals. An improved grip also makes the camera easier for photographers to hold and maneuver while shooting. In response to feedback from professional EOS users, the AF points in the EOS-1D X Mark II camera’s Intelligent Viewfinder II can be illuminated in red for improved visibility, especially when shooting in dark locations. AF sensitivity in low light has been doubled from EV -2 to EV -3 at the center AF point when the camera is set to One-Shot AF, enabling the camera to autofocus in extremely dark shooting conditions such as a moonlit nightscape. Viewfinder AF coverage has also been increased for greater compositional flexibility.
As with all EOS-1D series cameras, the EOS-1D X Mark II’s rugged construction and magnesium alloy body is weather resistant. The camera also features improved controls and more in-camera image quality enhancements than ever before, including a Digital Lens Optimizer function offering high quality aberration correction which can now be achieved without an external computer. This feature makes it easier for professional photographers to deliver finished files to their clients, especially in situations when access to a personal computer is impractical or inconvenient.
The estimated retail price for the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II is $5999 (MSRP) for the body or $6299 for the Premium Kit which includes a 64 GB CFast memory card and card reader. The new camera is scheduled to begin shipping to authorized Canon USA dealers in April 2016***. For more information and the full list of product specifications, visit: usa.canon.com/EOS1DXMarkII

Spending on retiree health comes back to haunt county to the tune of $9.5 million
Ukiah Daily Journal
The Internal Revenue Service last month gave its blessing to the retirement system for Mendocino County employees, including a plan to repay to its pension reserves $9.5 million of the money the system had wrongly used for retiree health benefits.
The plan is part of an agreement between the IRS and Mendocino County's retirement system under the IRS' "voluntary correction program" that allows the pension system to keep its tax-qualified status. A Jan. 29 "determination letter" from the IRS marks the end of a roughly three-year process for Mendocino County's retirement system, which is one of 20 in California that exist under the County Employees' Retirement Law of 1937 (commonly called the 37 Act).
"This successful resolution of the IRS process was critical to the protection of the tax-qualified status of benefits for members of MCERA," said Shari Schapmire, chairwoman of the Mendocino County Employees' Retirement Association, which oversees the pension fund.
County employees don't pay taxes on their contributions to the retirement fund until they retire and receive the benefits, according to Schapmire. That status was jeopardized when the county used retirement funds to help pay retiree health costs.
To keep its tax-deferred status, MCERA plans to take the $658,653 left in its retiree health insurance reserves and put it back in its pension reserve account.
The the remainder of the $9.5 million to be repaid is already included in the retirement system's roughly $132 million unfunded liability, according to Schapmire. The unfunded liability is the difference between what the system has and what it needs to cover future retiree benefits.
The county retirement system has 26 years left on a 30-year ammortizaion schedule -- a plan to pay the unfunded liability in annual installments. The figure can change during that time based on calculations the retirement board actuary updates annually.
The county retirement system had been paying for retiree healthcare since 1974 with "excess earnings" under an old actuary formula. The formula diverted to the health insurance fund any income above what the retirement system needed in a given year, Schapmire said.
That wasn't an uncommon practice among the 20 or so 1937 Act counties in California, she said. The IRS could have required the county retirement system to pay back all of the diverted money, which Schapmire said amounted to at least $40 million, but instead determined the 1937 Act has "inconsistencies" that need to be fixed.
According to the IRS' letter, the county retirement board diverted money to the retiree health insurance reserves even during a four-year period between June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2006, when investments brought no "extra earnings." That served to increase the retirement system's unfunded liability by $9,557,912, according to the IRS, which is the amount it is demanding be repaid to the system.
Under its agreement with the IRS, the retirement system is required to restore that amount to the pension reserves. The county cut off its retiree health insurance program in 2010 and was using the money left in the health account to "wind down" the program, according to Schapmire. County retirement board's tax counsel advised the retirement system to stop spending the money, and as of June 30, 2012, there was $658,653 left in health insurance reserves.
The county retirement system's now IRS-approved plan to repay the $9.5 million is to use the full amount left in the health insurance reserve account and to use "employer (the county) contributions to pay off the remaining balance in amortized installments" over the next 26 years, according to a statement released Friday.

There has been slow progress at the UN Cop27 climate conference where countries have come together over the last two weeks to try to agree action on climate change.
With less than 72 hours to go before proceedings draw to a close in the Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt, some delegates “began to discuss the possibility the summit would go overtime into the weekend”, reported Reuters. Nations are “snagged on issues including funding for developing nations to combat and adapt to climate change”.
There have also been calls for rich countries to pay compensation “for the irreparable loss and damage wrought on countries on the frontlines of the climate crisis”, said The Independent. But “signs of significant progress” have been “few and far between”.

Escape your echo chamber. Get the facts behind the news, plus analysis from multiple perspectives.
A draft text of what will eventually end up as the final agreement of the Cop27 summit was published on Thursday, repeating last year’s goals to “to accelerate measures towards the phase-down of unabated coal power and phase out and rationalise inefficient fossil fuel subsidies”.
But hopes of building on last year’s ambitions now look distant, with the draft text failing to call for a “phase down” of all fossil fuels, as requested by the European Union and India.
Here are some of the key images from this year’s summit.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed delegates via video link last week. He told the conference that Russia’s invasion of his country threatened international efforts to tackle climate change.
“We must stop those who, with their insane and illegal war, are destroying the world’s ability to work united for a common goal,” he said. “They are the ones who start wars of aggression when the planet cannot afford a single gunshot, because it needs global joint actions.”
Addressing delegates on Monday, Alok Sharma, president of the Cop26 conference that took place in Glasgow last year, warned against “backsliding” on the promise to limit the global temperature rise to no more than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.
“We’ll either leave Egypt having kept 1.5C alive, or this will be the Cop where we lose 1.5C,” he told a high-level ministerial roundtable. “At Cop26 we did resolve collectively to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5C,” the former UK business secretary said.
“I have always said what we agreed in Glasgow and Paris has to be the baseline of our ambition. We’ve got to stick to that commitment. We cannot allow any backsliding.”
Ninawa Huni Kui, president of the Federation of Huni Kui Peoples in Brazil’s Amazon basin, demonstrated outside the climate summit in traditional dress.
He told AFP that Indigenous communities “are not the focus of discussions” and expressed frustration over the lack of access to the decision-making process at the conference. “We don’t have much hope for what is happening at Cop27,” he said.
Emmanuel Macron and Rishi Sunak held a bilateral meeting at Cop27 – Sunak’s first talks with the French president since he became prime minister. In what the Daily Mail described as a “pally” meeting, the pair discussed climate matters as well as a new deal in which the UK will give additional funding to France in order to tackle the number of migrants crossing the Channel in small boats.
Journalists were keen to take photos of the arrival of Brazil’s new president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at the UN climate conference. “Lula is definitely this year’s Obama,” tweeted The Times’s envrionment editor Adam Vaughan, who noted that people were queuing up for his speech an hour before it was due to take place.
Lula received “a superstar welcome” at the climate conference, said Reuters. In his speech, the newly elected president of Brazil, who beat off right-wing former president Jair Bolsonaro in last month’s election, said that “Brazil is ready to come back” and be a global leader in the fight against climate change.
He revealed that Brazil would be bidding to host Cop30 and announced plans to hold the conference in an Amazonian city, rather than in the country’s more populous coastal regions.

Critic Reviews for The Pinball Wizard
The Pinball Wizard tries to offer a unique interpretation of the classic arcade, but fails with its limited and problematic execution. Moving the mage with the help of flippers is intuitive, however the stages are uninteresting, the variety of content is very limited and the difficulty is unbalanced. In the end, this mix of pinball and dungeon crawler didn't stick and is completely forgettable.
Review in Portuguese | Read full review
The Pinball Wizard is enjoyable for quick blasts and in-between action. It has an enjoyable progression based hook and paces itself well with increased difficulty and fun skillsets to unlock. Enemy and environment variety is limited, though, and from a content point of view the game could benefit with a bit more of everything to fill out the experience, especially to match the amount of skills you have on offer.

'I can't describe my anger!' Young labelled 'diver and a cheat' by furious Real Sociedad midfielder Bergara
Ashley Young has been labelled a 'diver and a cheat' by Real Sociedad midfielder Markel Bergara.
The Spaniard was outraged when referee Nicola Rizzoli was tricked by Young's dive and awarded the penalty which Robin van Persie smashed against the post during Manchester United's Champions League goalless draw with Sociedad.
Bergara told The Sun: 'I barely touched him and he dived. The truth is that he cheated.

Controversy: Young (middle) is awarded a penalty after going to ground easily
'I can't describe the anger at that moment. We could have lost because Young cheated.'
Young was also called 'pathetic' by former United player Ray Wilkins, whilst Roy Keane accused the winger of 'conning the ref'.
Speaking of Young's reputation, Bergara added: 'I know all about the criticism against Young in England.
'We know that in England these things are considered very bad and I think the incident is clear to see on TV.
History: Young was booked for diving under a challenge from Kagisho Dikgacoi of Crystal Palace
'He just brushed against me and fell to the ground.'
The former Spain Under-20 midfielder will now be banned for Sociedad's penultimate Group A match against Shaktar Donetsk as he cannot appeal the yellow card he received.
'I am sad and angry because not only was it not a foul but also I was given a yellow card and I can't play the next game. It's a double injustice.'
United could have clinched a place in the last 16 with a win in Spain, but failed to find the net despite the controversial penalty award and a glorious opportunity for out of favour forward Javier Hernandez.

I love Mexican food. We now live in Austin proper, but when we lived in Round Rock (just North of Austin) we used to frequent this little family owned place called Garcia’s. They had all you can eat enchiladas for $7.00 some weeknights and really great nachos.
I love when the nachos are laid out on a plate with the toppings on each chip rather than a pile of nachos with all the toppings on top with ensuring that each chip would have some flavor. Sadly, this restaurant has closed and I have been hard pressed to find another restaurant that will satisfy my cravings for delicious nachos and enchiladas.

Omaha athletes use VR technology to strengthen mental part of their games
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - The days of just being in top-notch physical shape to compete in sport are long gone.
The way technology has advanced has allowed athletes to learn to train their brains and become stronger mentally as well.
It’s happening in the Omaha metro.
The Gretna Elite Academy’s United Women’s Soccer Club has been using NeuroTrainer this summer and are seeing positive results.
“Everyone thinks you have to physically out-compete your opponent, but also a lot of times its more mentally,” Nebraska Women’s Soccer player Kenzie Coons said. “So, I think with this I definitely have more awareness of what’s going on around me.”
Awareness of surroundings is one of the many key focus points of the simulations created by NeuroTrainer.
CEO Noah Rolland said it helps athletes get focused and make quicker decisions as well.
It’s a tool that can help them reach “peak performance.”
“When we ask an athlete, especially someone who has been training for a while, what’s your biggest challenge? Very rarely do we hear it’s about physical technique. We normally hear it’s about ‘I need to hold together under pressure. I need to have more consistent performance on the field or on the court. I need to be able to make better decisions under pressure,’ and all of those things happen in the brain,” Rolland said.
Right now, roughly 8,000 athletes use NeuroTrainer.
Rolland acknowledged that the company certainly isn’t the only one out there trying to improve the mental part of athletes’ games, but he believes the VR aspect of it is new and a game changer.
They track everything, and according to Rolland have seen athletes improve their decision making time by 40 milliseconds.
“What does 40 milliseconds mean to me in the morning when I’m making coffee? Nothing. What does 40 milliseconds mean when I read a field and have to decide where I need to be and whether I’m going to pass or not pass? It’s tremendously impactful,” Rolland said.
The soccer players using it in Gretna credit on-field improvement to what they’ve experienced by using the NeuroTrainer equipment this summer.
Current Husker Katie Stoneburner said it gets her more focused for games.
She’s mentally into it from the start.
Grand Canyon University forward Lindsey Prokop believes the mental training of her brain has made her more assertive on the field.
“I’ve taken a lot more shots and take players one on one more,” Prokop said. “I think it’s my decision making that’s changed a lot and I’ve scored like seven goals in six games.”

Can one Newport hotel really have it all? If you're looking to check boxes that include ample outdoor space, the area's only outdoor waterfront saltwater pool, fine dining, a top-of-the-line spa, and spacious accommodations, then your answer will be yes. Gurney's Newport has the unique combination of feeling like a secluded resort, yet is located just few minutes from downtown. The property also manages to walk the tightrope between being an oasis for families and children but also a place where adults can be—and feel like—adults. David Smiley, Gurney Newport's General Managers, tells T&C about his favorite room, how the property is balancing fun and safety, and his insider tips for enjoying Newport, which is, needless to say, a very T&C destination.
What do you consider the "best" room at Gurney's Newport? Why?
The Liberty Suite which fuses the benefits of a residential-feel with the allure of resort service. It's nautical, but with the modern twist. The two-level suite feels like a home-away-from-home for families traveling together, with large living and dining areas boasting high ceilings, a wet bar, and full bath. The best part? We have two private balconies overlooking Narragansett Bay and the Newport Bridge, offering breathtaking water and sunset views
What does it start at per night?
$1100 per night
More From Town & Country
How did the hotel find the balance between the fun summer vibe that Gurney's is famous for with all the necessary health precautions and regulations of the COVID era?
It is our top priority to ensure guests’ safety throughout their stay, so we've implemented rigorous cleaning protocols, property-wide implementation of PPE, and hand sanitizing stations throughout. We feel fortunate that here at Gurney’s Newport our expansive resort grounds grant lots of outdoor space, both allowing our guests to naturally practice social distancing and enjoy outdoor activities and dining experiences. In keeping with the true essence of summer, we placed an even larger emphasis on water sports, boating, and yachting given our prime location on a state-of-the-art marina. Of course, we are enforcing the use of masks and social distancing, yet summer was still alive with the elevated outdoor experiences amongst this stunning waterfront atmosphere.
How would you describe Newport? What makes it different from, say, the Hamptons or Martha's Vineyard?
One of the oldest resort towns in America, Newport is a beautiful seaside city on Aquidneck Island. Just one and half hours from Boston and three and half hours from New York City by car, Newport—also known as “The City by the Sea”— is an easy escape for those craving culture, sea air, and relaxing scenery. While the Hamptons and Martha’s Vineyard also offer incredible coastal atmospheres, Newport has a unique twist with its fusion of history, sailing, and charming downtown area with amazing restaurants and entertainment.
What advice do you have for parents who want to take their kids away for a weekend to Gurney's but also want it feel like a vacation for the grown-ups? Any tips?
For families, Gurney’s Newport is a pragmatic choice for our strict safety and health protocols, large accommodations, open-air experiences, and proximity to downtown. Our resort is home to Newport’s only outdoor waterfront hotel pool – we recommend that parents reserve a private cabana while children enjoy their fun in the sun and water. (And we definitely suggest parents opt for a relaxing treatment at our Sea Water Spa.) The state-of-the-art marina also allows the whole family to join in whether it's boating, sailing or other waters ports. Another great perk for families is that we are located minutes from downtown Newport. We provide complimentary bikes to our guests traveling into the city. The whole family can do things such as Horse Back Riding on the Beach, Mansion Tour, Boat Cruise of the Lighthouses, a visit to Thames Glass, and a visit to Save the Bay Explorations Center.
How would you spend the perfect day at Gurney's Newport?
What’s so special to me about Gurney’s Newport is that we offer the feel of an island escape with the convenience of being located close to all of Newport’s best attractions. The perfect day would start by breakfast on our outdoor deck overlooking Newport Harbor. It’s no secret that Newport is known for its sailing and boating, and with our prime location on a marina I love to take the boat out or go on a water sport excursion. If I’m feeling up for more of a land exploration, one of my favorite activities is going to the Cliff Walk because it combines the natural beauty of the Newport shoreline with the architectural history of Newport's Gilded Age. Then I’d indulge in a New England staple–but with a twist—by dining at The Lounge & Firepit and ordering the ‘Spicy Sriracha Lobster Roll.’ The addition of the sriracha really bring out the sweetness of the lobster meat and is my absolute favorite. After taking a dip in the saltwater pool or receiving a treatment at the Seawater Spa, I’d cap off the day with a delicious meal at our Italian hotspot, Scarpetta, overlooking the water with a glass of white wine in hand.
