Whenever I'm out and about in the city, I've always got one eye on the sidewalk and the other scanning the curb for attractive junk that I can recycle into planters for my roof garden. Dresser drawers and discarded terracotta are premium finds, but even old fruit crates are just deep enough to accommodate leafy greens or herbs with shallow root systems. I decided to fill this one up with a crop of wild arugula (Eruca vesicaria sativa). I prefer this type to the cultivated 'Rocket' variety as it has more attractive, softer leaves and a deeper, spicier taste.
What You Need
A fruit crate
A regular plastic shopping bag
Organic container soil
Compost or vermicompost
1. Little work is required to prep your crate for growing. The bottom of mine had large spaces between slats and required a liner to contain potting soil. Inversely, crates with solid bottoms will require drainage holes to let water out. I laid an average-sized plastic shopping bag inside the crate and using a pair of scissors, cut several small holes to make drainage.
2. Next, fill up the crate with good quality container soil that is well draining but also contains some organic matter that will feed your plants. If you can't find good stuff, buy very lightweight soil composed of perlite, vermiculite and peat (or coir) and add your own organic matter to the mix. Compost is heavy and can become very compacted in a pot, so add no more than 20% compost or use vermicompost (worm poo) since it is much lighter. Fill your container to the top and tamp it in with your hands. You want to remove the air pockets and make a respectably flat surface. Don't go crazy with it — a level is not required.
3. Once you've got your soil in place, cut around the edges with a pair of scissors to remove the excess plastic bag. Pour a handful of seed into your hand and spread it thinly, and evenly across the soil surface. Don't worry if you have too many seeds as you can remove (and eat) excess seedlings as they grow. Add another 1/4″ of soil on top of the seeds and water everything in well.
4. Keep the soil moist, but not soaking wet. Arugula can be harvested at any size. Pull out excess seedlings at anytime and beginning cutting off tender leaves within a month or so of sowing.
Additional Notes: Leafy greens prefer cool weather and shadier spots. Plants will bolt in hot weather, which means that they quickly go to seed and become bitter. How much sun is too much depends on your conditions and the time of year. Mine are currently placed in a protected spot with partial sun to avoid the hot afternoon heat. You can also try a second sowing once the temperature has dropped in late summer/early fall for a fall harvest.
Other suggestions for your crate include:
- Kale (baby only)
- Red Orach
- Rouge d'Hiver Lettuce

Can you freeze Nigella's Coconut Macaroons? I'm preparing for a party and trying to get as ahead as much as possible!
Most macaroons, including Nigella's Coconut Macaroons (from HOW TO BE A DOMESTIC GODDESS), freeze well. Put the fully cooled macaroons in airtight containers and freeze for up to 1 month. If you need to stack the macaroons in the container then put a layer of baking parchment (parchment paper) in between the layers. To defrost the macaroons, put them on a wire rack at room temperature for 2-3 hours. The macaroons can also be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container. Leftovers should keep in an airtight container for a further 2 to 3 days (do not re-freeze thawed macaroons).
Please note that the macaroons should be made with American-style sweetened, shredded coconut and not dry desiccated coconut. The shredded coconut is moist and sligtly sweetened and also has slightly coarser texture than desiccated coconut. This helps to give the macaroons their sugary, fragrant dampness. Outside of the US this type of coconut can usually be bought on-line, we suggest searching for "Baker's Angel Flake Coconut".

Well, THIS little bear sure does!
Last week we made our annual trip to D.L. Bliss and introduced Noah to campsite 92, our favorite.
It seemed crazy to take a teething 8 month old camping, but the closer it got to leaving, the more at ease I felt.
Everything was more fun outdoors, including playing...
Every year our camping trip gets more fun. We are definitely happy campers!

Squirrel Me Timbers wins this years prize (so far) for the best usage of rhyming text and puns in one picture book. I found it an incredibly amusing read and myself and the four year old had a really lovely afternoon reading the book, acting out parts of it and talking about the rhyming words. Sammy Squirrel, the pirate is just the most amusing concept and as a character he really does work.
This is the author Louise Pigott’s first children’s picture book and I think she has really done herself proud here with fun illustrations and a witty story. A walk in the woods will never be the same again!
This is a lovely little book which I’d recommend and I think it would make a fab gift for a toddler alongside a pirate hat and cutlass!

Study Calls for 2 Closures
Special to the New York Times
Published: December 11, 1988
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10— The Department of Energy has given the White House a classified study calling for closing two atomic weapons plants in Ohio and Colorado and urging the Government to spend billions of dollars to clean up 15 other laboratories and production plants in the nuclear weapons industry, Federal officials said today.
The officials said the report recommends closing the Rocky Flats Plant near Denver and the Feed Materials Production Center near Fernald, Ohio, both of which have been the subject of reports of severe safety problems.
The Washington Post reported in Sunday's editions that the report recommended spending $50 billion over the next 20 years. The report is to be delivered Thursday to the House and Senate Armed Services Committee. The Energy Department is preparing a declassified version, but officials at the agency said they did not know when it would be made public.
The study is the latest of a series of reports focusing on the enormous health, safety, environmental, management, and operating problems that have overcome atomic weapons industry.
Next week, the Energy Department is expected to make public a schedule for restarting a nuclear reactor at the Savannah River Plant in South Carolina. The reactor, which produces tritium for nuclear weapons, has been shut down since August.

CHAPTER 4.6 GMT TOURBILLON 1920
Neuchâtel, July 26, 2023 - BA111OD unveils a unique model from its collection, in a highly exclusive series of 30 numbered pieces. Staying true to the brand's principles, the Chapitre 4.6 GMT Tourbillon Limited Edition aims to be more classic than its predecessors, featuring a minimalist dial that only reveals its tourbillon and the GMT function, in a choice of colors and shape inspired by Morgan cars. These cars are undoubtedly contemporary, yet their style echoes the early 20th century.
With a vintage style, the Chapitre 4.6 GMT Tourbillon 1920 Limited Edition from BA111OD draws inspiration from the curves and hues of the Morgan Plus 6 automatic metallic green 2023, as well as from the philosophy of the British car manufacturer. While this new model is classic in design, it is undoubtedly modern in its conception: fully developed and manufactured in Switzerland, with some of the best craftsmen, it features a 44mm case made of raw grade 5 titanium, with the crown always placed at 4 o'clock. Powered by a manually wound mechanical movement, with a power reserve of 105 hours, developed by the brilliant watchmaker Olivier Mory, it features a pearl cream dial, with a dome-shaped GMT counter at 1 o'clock and a tourbillon at 7 o'clock. As with previous BA111OD models, this timepiece also integrates NFC technology into the watch's sapphire glass, with features such as a concierge service, private invitations, and a personalized user experience, strengthening the privileged bond with its clients. A feat the brand was first to offer and which demonstrates its commitment to innovate. Finally, the deep green faux crocodile leather strap equipped with its folding clasp pays tribute to the color of the aforementioned model's bodywork.

Last issue I mentioned how, after a mere three corners of my track day at Castle Combe, my #Porsche-911-C4S-996
suffered epic brake fail, forcing the car into an early finish. I didn’t hang around in getting the problem fixed, remembering my old man’s oft-recited saying that “the most important aspect of a car is its ability to stop”. Long-time readers will recall I changed the brakes on my previous 996.2 C4 to EBC a couple of years back, so the decision to turn to them once again was an easy one, promptly ordering Yellowstuff pads, Dot 4 fluid and braided lines. I then booked the car in at ZRS Engineering down the road in Poole, as Matt there now does all work on my beloved C4S.
With the car on Matt’s two-post ramp, the wheels were whipped off and the pads removed. They had plenty of meat on them still as they were only installed at the end of 2017 but, as I’ve previously mentioned, I’ve just not been happy with their (complete lack of) feel and performance, despite fluid changes to alleviate the issue. Incidentally the pads had ‘TRW’ on the covers, which Matt informs me is the OEM brand, but whether or not it was just those covers which in this case were TRW remains to be seen. Either way, I took great pleasure in frisbeeing them into the bin.
EBC’s Yellowstuff pads were then installed inside the C4S’s Big Red calipers: these are intended for fast road and occasional track use, as they offer performance in huge heat ranges without brake fade. Although fashion isn’t exactly a priority when it comes to safety, it was great to see the yellow hue of the pads adding to the visual flare of my yellow KW coilover springs, at least with the wheels off!
Matt then replaced my rubber factory brake lines with EBC braided items. These will provide additional feel through the pedal, sorely needed in my case, and their braided element offers an increase in longevity underneath my C4S. With identical routing as per the factory lines, their it was simple enough. They’re good value: although the fittings don’t appear to be stainless steel (as they’re painted), they’re still good value when compared to vastly more expensive competitor items. I was pleased to have them fitted.
Matt did have to make up new hard lines from each caliper as mine had corroded. A 996 will always throw up a curve ball on a job like this, particularly with rust or corrosion on chassis componentry, so the added time needed for Matt to make those up before connecting to the EBC lines was expected, really.
With the braided lines in place Matt flushed out the old brake fluid, which ran for the hills when temperatures began to rise during the first few minutes of my aforementioned track day. I got two one-litre bottles of EBC ’s Dot 4 fluid, but the reality was we only needed the one. With the system bled, the wheels were soon back on and the 911 once again graced the floor.
Next step was bedding the brakes in, which I’m still in the process of doing. This is crucial to ensuring the brakes perform well over a sustained period of time. Many people skip this step and then wonder why they get brake fade pretty quickly. The process for EBC’s brakes can be found on their website at ebcbrakeshop.co.uk, but essentially I have to cover 200 urban miles before conducting a series of high-speed stoppages down to 20mph.
As I say I’m still in that process, and as soon as that’s done I’m heading for the track. What I will say, however, is that even now, after only a few miles, the difference is commendable. There’s now so much feel through that middle pedal that I can push it with confidence, those pads now clamping to the as-new discs with a conviction sorely lacking before. Once this set-up is run in, this is going to be an unbelievable car.

In May 2016, Gizmodo published an article that alleged "Facebook workers routinely suppressed news stories of interest to conservative readers from the social network's influential 'trending' news section." Two months out from the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump was the clear favorite for the nomination, and the article "went off like a bomb in Menlo Park," Wired reports in a massive article published Monday on the internal decisions at Facebook over the course of the election.
But Facebook's biggest concern was an unhappy Sen. John Thune (R-S.C.), who chairs the Senate Commerce Committee, which oversees the Federal Trade Commission. In addition to sending Thune a 12-page investigation that found Gizmodo's story was factually inaccurate, "Facebook decided, too, that it had to extend an olive branch to the entire American right wing," Wired writes. The resulting conference found Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg meeting with more than a dozen leading conservatives in May to "build trust."
From the get-go, though, "the company wanted to make a show of apologizing for its sins," Wired writes, and the meeting was allegedly engineered to be a mostly fruitless exercise:

'Boris & Sergey' - Flabbergast | Edinburgh 2012
It’s not the first time I’ve seen Boris & Sergey onstage. It’s about the fifth. The show has established a fan base of repeat viewers. I enjoyed this incarnation of the show just as much, if not more, than the first time I saw it performed as Puppet Poker Pit at Theatre Delicatessen in 2010. Extraordinary feats of team puppet manipulation, improvised dialogue and audience interaction that stokes the imagination keeps the performance fresh. Not to mention the enduring impact of the striking finale.
Boris & Sergey’s Vaudevillian Adventure celebrates the radical possibilities of puppetry as an art form - and invites a grown-up audience out for a rollicking ride. A sparse oval poker table serves as the entire set. Faceless bunraku-style tabletop puppets represent the two brothers. Sergey, the bullying elder brother, is built out of reddish leather, while Boris sports a belly covered in mangy rabbit fur. Simple design makes space for the puppeteers to suggest all sorts of scenarios.
Through miming the puppets’ interactions with invisible props, vehicles and settings, the puppeteers speed the audience through sequences that play out like a blockbuster film. Brotherly banter, cinematic music and excellent team puppetry invite the audience to visualise the settings.
The story reveals a dysfunctional but affectionate relationship between the two brothers, who work as a con team to scam audience members, and each other. Skits and raunchy humour engage the audience and give insight into the brothers’ connection. This also toys with audience perceptions by exploring the role of the puppeteers in relationship to the characters and their individual identities.
The development called “The One Plot Point”, establishing the story’s main antagonistic element, felt a bit too laboured in this version of the show. In earlier incarnations it seemed more casually introduced, making the final scene all the more shocking.
I felt curious about the parallels to Blind Summit’s show The Table, and wondered if the long-established company had been an influence. The bodies of Boris & Sergey are very similar in shape and operation to the character in The Table. The puppets’ direct interaction with the audience, simple tabletop set and demonstration of puppet mime all seem to correspond.
Flabbergast Theatre launches an original narrative from these roughly similar building blocks, entertaining with rude humour and outrageous action sequences, while diving into the twisted psychological relationship between the two brothers. The closing scenes drop us into the heart of human darkness.
The audience - having played along by imagining so many of the props and settings throughout the puppet mime - now seem implicated in the story’s unsettling conclusion. Are we just witnesses or are we participants? Puppet theatre invites audience members to project their own emotions and imagery onto the story and the Flabbergast puppeteers skilfully summon us into their show with extraordinary style.

I noticed that when I have PTP selected on my D50, that when the camera is attached to my mac, it doesn't display the "PC" on the top LCD. When I use Mass Storage, it does appear. I'm not sure if this is what it should do, but I could swear that it once said PC. Could anyone check with their D50 (just attach it to a computer using the PTP [which is what you should use anyway] and tell me if it says 'PC' on the top LCD) Nikon's support didn't know, and they want me to send it in, but if it's doing something funky, it's likely firmware and not hardware. Thanks!

Just in time for Halloween, we assemble the team in the name of all that is ~spooky~ to bring you the best and ~spookiest~ that haunting and horror cinema has to offer.
The Corpse Bride (2005)
The Corpse Bride was one of those movies that seriously scarred me as a child. Between the bony physiques, the stop-motion-animated erratic movements, and the abnormal pupil-to-eye ratios, the design always gave off this horrible weirdness, enough to induce nightmares in my 8-year-old self. Revisiting this film nearly a decade later, I’ll be the first one to admit that it isn’t that scary, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a great movie. It’s got some rocking jazzy tunes, a solid horror-fantasy storyline, and the return of Tim Burton’s duo of Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp. The stop-motion animation is perfectly crafted and simply astounding, reminiscing earlier films like The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993). It’s got the right mix of Burton’s custom elements to feel weirdly nostalgic. For anyone with an hour or so to spare in between study sessions and essay writing, I’d recommend it. It’s a weird little movie, and it’s beautiful.
—Juliana Vaccaro De Souza
The Witch (2015)
It’s not yet old enough to be considered a classic but, by God, this film should be the new gold standard for horror cinema. The Witch is an intoxicatingly detailed and deeply unsettling horror gem, burning slowly through a dreadful descent into hysteria and icy darkness. Director Robert Eggers and cinematographer Jarin Blaschke frame every foggy, damp shot with exquisite precision, turning virtually every frame into a beautifully bleak oil painting. The Old English dialogue is dense and chewy, performed naturalistically and often through moments of pure hysteria. Like the gorgeously-detailed costumes and symbolically provocative set design, this dialogue puts us squarely in a specific time and place, making everything feel disconcertingly real. And that realness is what makes all of the genre elements work so well. While The Witch does outright admit the existence of the supernatural, it focuses more inside the minds of its corporeal characters, offering a tense and disturbing examination of faith and sin. As calamities befall the family, they start to accuse one another of dancing with the devil, and we get to understand their tortured wrestling with the intrusion of temptation and evil into their God-fearing homestead. Thematically adroit and carefully executed, The Witch is a perfectly paced skin-crawling descent into madness that fans of both horror and arthouse film will be obsessing over for years to come.
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
The actors and directors on the set of The Blair Witch Project walked into the woods to shoot a movie with a rough outline and an extremely low budget. They came out with a documentary-style film so realistic that IMDb catalogued Heather Donahue, the protagonist, as deceased, and viewers sent sympathy cards to her mother. The film follows three filmmakers who go into the Maryland woods to investigate local legends, starring an antagonist devoid of humanity or mercy. Soon, though, they lose their way while trekking further into the seemingly endless wilderness, and begin to endure torment from an unknown and malicious entity. Every aspect of the movie adds to its authenticity: the promotion of the film as a compilation of discovered footage, the unsteady and disorienting style of filming, and most of all, the acting. The actors’ improvised reactions to unsettling events intensify the genuine feeling of the movie, culminating in an ending that is downright chilling.
Scream is one of those movies that I absolutely need to watch every Halloween season. Its charm lies in the fact that it’s a horror movie that is aware of other horror movies’ existence. From the iconic opening scene in which the killer asks Drew Barrymore over the phone which is her favorite scary movie, to much later when Randy (Jamie Kennedy) goes through all the “rules” to survive a horror movie, this movie is littered with references to the ones that came before it. It doesn’t just reference them, though. It makes fun of these tropes while playing into them. You spend the entire movie wondering who the killer is, and it does a great job pinning everyone as a suspect. This movie is a love letter to horror movies and an effective horror movie in its own right, making Scream my personal favorite.

The Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) announced on Wednesday the appointment of Denis Lavagne as the Indomitable Lions' new coach, confirming rumours that the Frenchman was the favourite amongst half a dozen candidates to succeed Javier Clemente, who was sacked on Tuesday for failing to qualify the team for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).
The former coach of Cameroonian league champions Coton Sport de Garoua's chief objective will be qualifying the Lions to the 2013 Afcon and preparing the team for the 2014 Fifa World Cup qualifiers, according to state television CRTV.
Lavagne, 47, coached at several training centres including Sedan in France, Qatar Sports Club in Qatar, Cheng du Blades in China and Difaa El Jadida in Morocco before becoming Coton Sport's head coach in 2009, after a one-year stint with the club in 2007.
Cameroonian legend Roger Milla has been rallying against the nomination of Lavagne, saying it would be “repeating the same mistake of hiring Clemente.” Instead, Milla said a local coach would be the best thing for the team at the moment.
The Under-20 national team coach Martin Ndtoungou Mpile, a Cameroonian, who was also vying for the post, will be Lavagne’s assistant while Pierre Mbarga has been named as the goalkeeper coach.

After more than four years, it was such a delight to be back in London. Even though I did miss Brom and my sister. Next year we will have to plan it a bit further in advance so we can all go together!
My room was a beautiful room with soft beds (board) and soft pillows (bricks) and a great view (see top photo). The dinner I had was pure gourmet. Of the cheapest microwave version! I buy better at home. Mind you, the price was accordingly low and it was warm.
On Saturday I made my way into London. Where it was busy! My first stop was Covent Garden, where I scored a belt (forgot to take one) and some gloves (forgot to take mine). And then it was off to the annual Christmas Pudding Race. Where I saw Oompa-Loompas, convicts, elves and even Her Royal Higness, the Queen herself!! And she graciously let me take a photo of her.
After having walked around for a while and taken a few photos of the beautiful decorations (mistletoe), I made my way to Oxford Street. There were some things I really wanted. Like a Christmas sweater. And paracetamol (forgot to bring those as well). And other knicky-knackies that I don't need, but do quite want.
I had walked about half of Oxford Street when I decided to get on the Underground again and see what was happening in Hyde Park. Well, it was the Winter Wonderland! Complete with ice skating show, ferris wheel (no fun on my own) and German Christmas market. It was absolutely heaving though! The weather was quite cold, but bright and sunny and everyone and their aunt had made it into town.
|The lights in Regent Street|
I got back to Oxford Street and finally found a HMV (record/cd/dvd-store). Where I found some of the films and series I really love so guess what... By then however it was time to find myself some dinner, because that night I was going to see a show. And not just any show either: the Snowman. You may have seen the film, you may know the song (Walking on the air). I saw the musical.
It was a really lovely musical. Only two songs with words, everything else was music only. The boy in front of me (Italian/French) was loving it! No need to understand another language when the music will do the trick every time.
That night I made my way back to the hotel. Tired, weary, three large blisters on my feet and one on my credit card. But a beautiful day.

So far, the numbers have indicated that Minnesotans are on board in making the shift to voting by mail. As of Friday, the Secretary of State reported that 207,835 absentee ballot applications had been received. That compares to 8,964 applications at the same point in 2016.
Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon’s decision to strike deals with two groups suing Minnesota over the state’s witness requirement for absentee ballots drew quick criticism from Republicans, who called the deals an end-run around the Legislature by a DFL secretary of state and friendly plaintiffs.
Even if restrictions on gatherings subside in the wake of COVID-19, having voters come into voting precincts to cast ballots this fall — not to mention having poll workers staff election sites — might not be a wise option.
Why are voters’ party preferences not private? And is anybody trying to do anything about it?
The parties are calling the shots when it comes to Minnesota’s 2020 presidential primary. So why is the state paying for it?
That’s the question at the heart of a case now before the Minnesota Supreme Court.
Minnesota’s Safe at Home Program protects victims of abuse and stalking — but federal agencies don’t always cooperate with it.
What the parties do with the information is up to them, as long as they don’t use it for commercial purposes. The public will not have access to the same data.
Overall turnout was down compared to 2014, but Minnesota did reclaim its spot as the top state for voting in the U.S. Early voting may have had something to do with that.
There are quite a few steps between feeding your ballot into the tabulation machine and the election results, certified a few weeks later.
The Independence Party’s grasp on major party status is also on the bubble.
Like a little excitement in your election season? On Tuesday, the race for Minnesota secretary of state erupted into flaming talk of voter suppression and fraud at back-to-back (to back) news conferences.
Though voters might struggle to remember one from the other, there couldn’t be a greater contrast between the candidates for secretary of state.
Democrats who control the Legislature faced a midnight deadline Tuesday that would suspend the state’s current system of online registration.
“Everything is secondary to the budget,” says Senate Majority Leader-designate Tom Bakk.

During emergency passage, Aldermen unanimously passed an ordinance that would give the mayor the authority to enact stricter water conservation measures that would be associated with Springfield’s lake levels.
The drought management plan has six stages associated with how low the lake is below full pool.
At four feet below, or stage four, the first of three schedule surcharges would kick in on anything over around 3,500 gallons of water a month for residential customers.
At stage five, or five feet, a higher surcharge would kick in and an even higher charge at stage six.
Read the entire ordinance here.

I enjoy growing vegetables in both my garden and in containers. While some of my containers are rather traditional, one of mine is not.
This was one of my favorite projects because it was an unexpected sight for visitors to my vegetable garden.
While you would expect to see leaf lettuce poking up from a grocery bag – you certainly don’t expect to see it growing inside of one.
This is a very simple DIY project, which are the kinds that I like best.
You can grow many different types of vegetables in a grocery bag. Would you consider doing this in your own garden?


Incentives remain at the core of the negotiating strategy which the United States and its allies have toward the Islamic Republic of Iran and its nuclear program. Tracing the Western approach is an exercise in frustration as retired diplomats and Iran’s apologists blame the United States for Iran’s failure to make a deal, even as the pot which American diplomats offer grows increasingly rich.
Too often, once a diplomatic initiative is begun, the process becomes more important than the results. Sometimes it is useful to revert to the 100,000 foot level and question basic assumptions. First, does Iranian behavior suggest that incentives work? The answer is no: Since German Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel unveiled the concept of “Critical Engagement” back in 1992, successive generations of European and American governments have been trying to entice Iran. Sometimes they referred to a China model, in which economic liberalization would lead (in theory) to political liberalization; at other times they suggested that returning the Iranian regime to the community of nations would lead it to become a more responsible partner; and still other times they were downright mercantilist, trying to buy Iranian compliance. While the Iranian regime was always willing to encourage a sweetening of the pot, at no time has its behavior suggested that such a strategy will work.
Indeed, the obsessive American approach to trying to bribe Iran only humiliates the United States in the eyes of Iranian officials. The simple facts of the matter are these:
- The Iranian nuclear program is in non-compliance with its Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Safeguards Agreement and with multiple International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) findings and with several United Nations Security Council resolutions. There really should be no ifs, ands, or buts when it comes to American flexibility.
- Many diplomats believe that a give-and-take should form the basis of diplomatic negotiations. It should be increasingly difficult for these diplomats to defend the process, for while the European Union and United States have offered to give and give and give some more, the Iranians have not reciprocated. Why is it that the Iranian government does not itself offer some incentives?
The simple facts are these:
- The Iranian government has repeatedly approached talks insincerely, and has no intention of forfeiting its illicit nuclear weapons program.
- After two decades of diplomacy, Iranian authorities know what they need to do. Countless meetings do not elucidate it for them. It is time Western diplomats underline a choice: Tehran can abandon its nuclear program, or they can face the consequences. Rather than let the Islamic Republic profit off its defiance, the most productive thing congressmen and diplomats should do is outline just exactly what those consequences will be.

Legal quandaries can arise when conducting in-depth background checks. Below are some key tips for all companies to consider during the process of hiring any employee, especially employees in executive positions.
Employers and HR managers should refrain from asking applicants about their disabilities or ailments, sex, national origin, pregnancy or plans to have children, religious beliefs and age. These are all federally protected categories.
Employers should not apply background check requirements disproportionately to candidates of certain protected classes. A general requirement covering all employees to certain positions will help employers avoid charges of discrimination.
○Employers should also be aware that Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) guidelines caution that employers may violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by not hiring an individual on the basis of an arrest record. The EEOC has noted that, nationally, African-Americans and Hispanics are arrested in disproportionate numbers to whites, and thus barring individuals on the basis of an arrest record alone disproportionately affects members of that protected class. Thus, employers rejecting a candidate are cautioned against basing the decision to not hire an applicant solely on an arrest record. The EEOC suggests employers look to the nature and gravity of the offense the individual was arrested for; the amount of time since a conviction or arrest; and whether the offense relates to the requirements of the position in question.
Be cognizant of categories protected by state, city and local statutes. For example, sexual orientation and marital status are categories frequently protected by state, city or local statutes.
In the current environment, discrimination on the basis of political beliefs may also be protected by state, local or city ordinances. As tempting as a political discussion may be with an applicant, try to avoid the topic.
The negligent hire cause of action arises where an employer is negligent in hiring or retaining an incompetent or reckless individual the employer knows or should know was unfit or incompetent. Where this unfit individual acts in a manner to injure another individual, the employer that hired the individual opens itself up to liability. These cases have been on the rise in recent years and have typically involved lower-level employees.
Equally plausible, however, are suits against companies for failing to thoroughly investigate individuals who will exercise considerable control and discretion over company funds and the direction a business will take. This concern is even greater in the wake of 2002’s Enron and WorldCom scandals. Shareholders of companies suffering from mismanagement at the hands of executives may be more willing to sue for negligently hiring a bad CEO or executive.
Employers can avoid liability merely by conducting thorough investigations of the background of a potential executive and acting reasonably when interviewing candidates for a position.
Section 404 of the act imposes upon corporations a duty to institute certain internal controls and to take steps necessary to ensure that high-level employees are behaving ethically and honestly.
The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission developed a widely accepted framework to help corporations comply with Section 404. COSO recommends background checks on any individual in a position of trust and anyone with direct access to valuable corporate information and assets. COSO further recommends that these background checks cover educational and employment backgrounds and any criminal history. Thorough documentation of this screening process is also highly recommended.
The more rigorous standards applied to those publicly held corporations covered under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may soon become the standards expected of private companies as well. Those companies not covered under the act are advised to undertake similar rigorous background checks of potential executives.
FCRA applies only if an employer obtains information from a third-party reporting agency. The act’s protections extend to credit reports, criminal record reports and driving records.
Employers must provide notice to an applicant that protected information will be obtained. They must obtain written consent from the applicant for the background check, which must be separate from any signatures on an application or handbook. They must disclose any negative information obtained and provide the candidate with the report, the name of the consumer reporting agency, and a fair opportunity to contest the report.
The FCRA protections do not apply to candidates who will be earning $75,000 or more.
Any employer obtaining credit and consumer information on an applicant without complying with the requirements of FCRA faces liability for damages, fines, and possible imprisonment.

Richard Thompson navigates troubled waters and ‘strange times’
It takes more than a few minutes for heralded veteran singer-songwriter Richard Thompson to settle into a conversation about his exceptional new record, “13 Rivers,” pop music, and his 50-plus years in the music business.
While talking via phone from London, he shrugs off even the mildest compliments about his work with silence and patiently considers initial questions before answering as if trying to gauge whether he’s talking to a blithering idiot or someone he actually can talk to. Once he feels comfortable, though, Thompson is eminently engaging and as articulate, witty, and passionate as his often-brilliant music, which has established him as one of the foremost chroniclers of life’s contradictions and the fickleness of the human heart.
And he has plenty to talk about these days as “13 Rivers, his 18th solo studio record, is one of his strongest efforts in years — a tumultuous collection of songs roiling with deep emotions that feel especially personal. Recorded over 13 days with a powerhouse group of musicians, the record captures the galvanizing feel of Thompson’s electric live shows — he plays the Paradise Wednesday — and features some of the more complex songs he’s written about subjects that cut close to the bone in these troubled days.
“I’ve had a tough time the last couple of years, and I can’t go into any detail about that,” Thompson says before politely declining to elaborate. “So yes, all of that personal stuff is certainly reflected in the songs, but there’s the backdrop of the strange times we are living in too. There are changes going on all around the world, and that is definitely reflected in what I wrote.”
Many of the best songs (“My Rope, My Rock,” “The Rattle Within,” “Trying”) deal with polarities — the tension between hope and despair, life and death, love and alienation, impulse and thought. They are themes that have marked a good portion of Thompson’s work throughout his career as a solo artist, with his then-wife, Linda Thompson, and his first band, Fairport Convention.
“A lot of life is like a Greek tragedy,” Thompson says. “It’s two things pulling in two directions, and you can’t really win whichever way you go so you do the best you can. I think a lot of the songs here and what I’ve written over the years are like that and, ultimately, yes, life is like that.”
While his music has always been balanced with love songs and sharp humor, Thompson has frequently explored some of the darker recesses of the human psyche or fraught relationships.
Thompson dismisses the idea that his music is dark, though. “I like to deal with serious topics. Some people call it dark, but I think it’s just serious. Popular music or whatever you want to call it is fairly adult at this point. It’s not teenage music anymore — it’s multigenerational music and reflects all ages of experience, and I suppose these are the subjects I like to explore. They are what genuinely interest me.”
Of course, Thompson, who first began recording with Fairport Convention back in 1967, is also one of the finest guitarists to ever pick up the instrument, but unlike many other players in his pantheon, his lead guitar work always serves his songs while elevating them without gratuitous theatrics. His stellar playing on “13 Rivers” punctuates the tempestuous lyrics and propels the songs to rare heights. He says his guitar approach can be traced back to his teen years.
“When I was 15 or 16 years old at school, I’d gone to see Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Peter Green — all these really good blues guitar players around London, and at some point, I thought: There are a lot of guitar players out there and they’re all doing the same thing,” he says.
“They were all very blues-based, but they were all learning off records. They were all these English guys and they were never going to be as great as Buddy Guy, as far as I was concerned, or as good as Muddy Waters.
“So I thought I really have to try and be different. I have to have different influences in my music. I didn’t want to sound like the blues guys. And on the first Fairport record, you can hear there’s still that blues influence, but I tried to move away from that to something much more Celtic. I was aware from the very beginning that I needed to develop a style, which is the style I’m kind of stuck with now.”
Thompson produced “13 Rivers” and says he’s always looking for new ways to present his music. But while he pays attention to current popular music, he doesn’t hear anything that might influence him in any manner.
“I don’t dig too deeply because it really doesn’t interest me. The Taylor Swift or Beyoncé vein of popular music is so processed and packaged. It’s like a brand. Like you’re buying Pepsi. There’s a lack of something, I don’t know — maybe soul, maybe musicality. It’s like there’s this algorithm that they found where there’s a certain tempo and certain notes with a certain sequence. I like root-based music. Americana, which sounds a bit more connected to humanity.”
Thompson turns 70 next year, but he has no intention of slowing down. He’s been making music for over five decades — something he doesn’t take for granted and could never have envisioned when he started.
“When I left school to go with Fairport, I figured I’d do it six months to a year and then go back to a real job or college — you know, go back to the real world — but meanwhile I realized, ‘OK, this is fun.’ A year turned into five years, which turned into 10 years, and I’m still here.”
He considers his career arc, pauses, and slyly adds, “I’ve had a feeling of looking over my shoulder frequently while I’ve been a professional musician, thinking at some point I’m going to get found out. This is too good to last. When I was 50 years old, my mother said, ‘Now dear, it’s time to get a proper job, isn’t it?’ She’d come to see me playing in front of 2,000 people in London and was like, ‘It can’t last much longer.’ ”

One of the US electricity sector’s founding pillars was the growth of air-conditioning demand across the country in the years after the Second World War. While electrification had grown to near-universal access in the preceding decades on industrial demand and huge Depression-era government programs, the boom in power plant construction was extended and broadened by the prospect of cooling millions of homes, office buildings and shopping centers and an extended demographic shift in people moving to the sunnier states of the South was boosted.
But air conditioning isn’t without cost, especially during temperatures spikes in the summer when blackout risks loom and prices for power skyrocket in a vise of massive demand and limited total power production.
Reducing the electricity usage of air conditioning could save money for consumers and boost reliability for operators, and could do so on a larger scale than almost any other single advance in consumer technology. That makes recent developments at the Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory a potential “game changer” for the sector if the group’s technology can achieve commercialization and wide-spread adoption.
NREL says: “Researchers at NREL invented a breakthrough technology that improves air conditioning in a novel way-with heat. NREL combined desiccant materials, which remove moisture from the air using heat, and advanced evaporative technologies to develop a cooling unit that uses 90% less electricity and up to 80% less total energy than traditional air conditioning (AC). This solution, called the desiccant enhanced evaporative air conditioner (DEVAP), also controls humidity more effectively to improve the comfort of people in buildings.”


2020 Toyota Yaris Sedan provides you with not modified, that may be our hope. This vehicle has just been through an absolute change this year. At least maybe that a lot of the 2020 Toyota Yaris Sedan rates is not going to correct. Although, there could be one important change with the new capabilities 2020 Toyota Yaris Sedan.
Visually, hopefully the standard design of the 2020 Toyota Yaris Sedan0 is still the similar. This certainly will not create a stir, talking about the design has just seen a major remodel that obtains several positive reviews. The biggest visual modify to the ranks is the 2020 Toyota Yaris Sedan, which will get a new 19-inch matte-black wheel which is 3.1 pounds lighter; aero package with front splitter, side skirts, trunk lid spoilers and rear diffuser; painted red brake calipers and badges.
Inside, with a little luck you can find no significant modifications to the 2020 Toyota Yaris Sedan lineup, but yet this version are going to again put into the sporty touch. This upgrade includes black leather sports seats with fabric inserts red accents, contrast stitches, headrests and embroidered seat belts, shift buttons with logos, logo mats and trunk mats and splash screens bearing a multi-information display.
Without structural modifies in perform, we hope the powertrain department continues to be the similar. If this sounds like tested true, the 2020 Toyota Yaris Sedan can show up common with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder powerplant that creates 203 hp and also 184 pound-foot strength. Optionally, customers can add a 3.5-liter V6 powerplant that releases 301 hp and 267 pound-feet of torque. This exclusive petrol engine will pair with an eight-speed electric transmission which will give energy to the front wheels.
Consumers who are trying to find a lot more used items can still get a Hybrid style to satisfy the scraping. We hope to set a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric power motor to produce 208 hp. Although this will not be as fun to drive as a V6-supported model, it can give exceptional fuel economy that rings at 51 miles per gallon city, 53 highways, and 52 combined in the current Hybrid version.
The highest version will have a 301-hp 3.5-liter V6 power plant, but will obtain a paint-back exhaust system for rougher grunts and even a lot of handling technology. The second includes a fresh sway bar and coil springs for front tightness 44 percent more in advance and 67 percent extra stiffness, height rising 0.6 inches lower, 0.5 inch wider rims with sticky rubber, and 0 front brake rotors, 9 inches bigger is gripped by a dual-piston caliper.
This style is one of the most secured sedans on the highway right now thanks to its typical Safety Sense, such as automatic emergency braking, line departure warning, fixed line assistance, automatic light path lights, and adaptive roaming control. We hope that the 2020 Toyota Yaris Sedan will keep each one of these features along with the IIHS Top Safety Pick + rating.

OrderPaperToday – Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Benjamin Kalu, has assured Nigerians that the 2021 budget proposal will be thoroughly and speedily passed.
He said the swift attention is to keep faith the January to December fiscal circle started with the 2020 budget exercise.
Mr. Kalu stated this on Thursday during a briefing with newsmen at the national assembly.
His submission is an echo of what the Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabuamila, said during the budget presentation event earlier.
He revealed that other activities of the House will be suspended on Tuesday and Wednesday to enable debate on the proposed budget presented by President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said: “Today, they have passed the ball to our court and if we delay the budget, the burden will now be on us to answer to Nigerians who are very expectant, that the continuity of this good work we started last year will not be affected by any form of delay.
“Our promise remains, the same way we worked towards realizing the budget calendar shift from what it used to be to what it is now, is what we are going to sustain going forward.
“We want to look at it. It is important also to know that we have dedicated Tuesday and Wednesday as the date we will start receiving debates on the budget that has been presenting to us. That is to tell you that we are committed and we are hitting the ground running.
“We are also hopeful that between today and that Tuesday, we will receive copies of the budget that the President has requested that the Ministry of Finance and Budget office should make available to us. Hopefully, we will dissect it before the debate will start.
“Because we need to also consult with our constituents, it is not just presenting the budget and then we start debating on it. We know it is a law that we are about to make, so it is important that the opinion and interest of the public that we represent be factored in.”
He assured that the passage of the proposed budget will not be a garbage-in-garbage out procedure but a thorough analysis will be made by the national assembly.
The spokesman also debunked rumours that consideration of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) has been suspended, saying the proposal is actually on the front burner of parliament.
Recall that the President during his speech commended the legislators for the attention to the PIB.

The singer and musical producer Suylén Milanés, daughter of the renowned Cuban singer-songwriter Pablo Milanés, died this Sunday after a stroke, reported to the state record company EGREM.
Suylén, one of the three daughters of the marriage of Pablo Milanés and Yolanda Bennet, had developed an extensive career in the musical field in her 50 years and had carved out a name for herself in the Cuban cultural world.
“It is with deep regret that we learned today of the death of Suylén Milanés, an outstanding performer and musical producer. We say goodbye to this passionate, enterprising, and talented woman. A lot of light for her soul,” EGREM wrote on Twitter.
“Her heart stopped beating a few hours ago,” wrote Nancy Pérez Rey, current wife of Pablo Milanés, who added that the father of the deceased will not go to Cuba for the time being —he is in Spain— for health reasons.
The artist had been hospitalized since last Thursday in an intensive care room of the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery in Havana, and since her admission, she was diagnosed with severe brain damage and an “irreversible” prognosis, according to family sources.
The news circulated immediately in independent digital media and on social networks, where wishes for better health multiplied.
A BRILLIANT CAREER
Milanés was considered a tireless and prodigal creator, who opted for national alternative music, especially electronic music, and Afro-Cuban songs.
She was the president and organizer of the Cuban electronic music festival “Eyeife”, which flooded its headquarters in Havana’s Almendares park every year-end, in its latest versions held online due to the covid-19 pandemic.
In 2009, Suylén assumed the direction of the Propositions Office, attached to the PM Records cultural institution founded in 1998 by her father, a space from which musical, record, and audiovisual productions are made, the design and implementation of advertising campaigns, development of corporate identities and organization of events in general, among other services.
At the same time, the dynamic artist was the leading voice of the musical group Yarini’s sessions, with Daima Falcón (choir), Hansel Arrocha (guitar), Yandel Cruz (bass), Diana Ruz, and Pedro Gutiérrez (drums).
He also collaborated with the Tesis de Menta group, among others. She was also the creator of the Somos project, in which she brought together seven enterprising women in various fields of the musical universe: businesswomen, producers, vocalists, composers, sound engineers, dancers, and directors.
Milanés explained in an interview that with a project he intended to “give light” to the role of women through staging, training, and raising awareness among the youngest, “prompting them to pursue their dreams”, creating a space where women and men could promote alternative music on equal terms.
In its 2020 version, the Eyeife festival focused on the issue of women in music, with a large presence of female DJs, and then its president explained that she wanted to add it to the Somos project.
“Above all, I am interested in making the project visible through all possible channels to later materialize it in various forums on the Cuban scene. Because Eyeife is an electronic fusion with any genre and any artistic manifestation.
Somos is the same but rock with alternative electronics”, he pointed out. Somos, the last initiative to which he devoted his energies, pushed the production of a studio album —with a dozen songs— in alliance with the company PM Records and with the support of the musician and producer Athanai Castro, recognized for his solo work and with figures such as Rosario Flores and his sister Lynn Milanés.
Milanés left two descendants: Pablo and Camila, the fruits of their respective marriages to Mauricio Rentería and Camilo Guevara, son of the Argentine-Cuban guerrilla fighter Ernesto “Che” Guevara.

Security Update 2010-007 (Leopard and Leopard Server)
The just-released Mac OS X 10.6.5 includes numerous security fixes that are also relevant to Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard and Leopard Server. For you Leopard users out there, Apple has now released Security Update 2010-007 Leopard Client and Security Update 2010-007 Leopard Server to address 32 vulnerabilities spread throughout the operating system. You can read the details on Apple’s Web site.
Flash Player merits special attention, since Apple’s inclusion of version 10.1.102.64 addresses 56 different vulnerabilities since the previously shipped version. That’s somewhat deceptive, since Mac OS X 10.6.4 shipped with Flash Player 10.0.45.2 even when 10.1.53.64 was current with fixes for numerous security holes. In short, don’t depend on Apple to provide the latest version of Flash Player; it’s a huge target for security exploits and Adobe is constantly releasing new versions to address significant problems.
Four of the security changes are specific to Mac OS X Server 10.5.8, notably fixes to Password Server and Wiki Server, and new versions of MySQL and PHP.
Security Update 2010-007 is most easily downloaded via Software Update, but standalone installers are also available via the links above. (Free, 240.74 MB for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, 448.10 MB for Leopard Server)
SL Server version of pulled. CNET has a report on it which I can't seem to reference here.
I commented on Apple pulling Mac OS X Server 10.6.5 over on that article, but as far as I can tell, Security Update 2010-007 for Leopard Server remains available.
(With regard to URLs, you can always enter straight URLs here, but no HTML.)
I just received Apple's announcement "APPLE-SA-2010-11-15-1 Mac OS X Server v10.6.5 (10H575)" and it has been re-posted to the Apple Support Download page, still dated Nov 10 as if nothing had happened. It was missing for most of the weekend.

I should have known I would end up in this profession. As a child I enjoyed organizing and styling my room, placing stuffed animals, books and trinkets just so on my shelves for hours instead of playing with Barbies like a normal child. Instead, I took the long road, doing a combination of bartending, hair styling, producing, wedding videography, and even being a fitness instructor. At the urging of close friends, I applied for and landed a job with blogger and stylist Emily Henderson as an assistant stylist in 2016. I’ve honed my skills at EHD for the past 3 years working my way up to Lead Stylist and Creative Producer (and even occasional blog contributor). On top of the amazing and varied opportunities I’ve had with EHD, I’ve also designed and renovated my first home.
Styling has been like coming home. Everything about the process, from soup to nuts, I enjoy. Ideating, sourcing and problem solving is just as fun to me as the finished product. Production, it’s long hours, blood, sweat and tears, is where I do best and where I’ve met some of my favorite people. If you’d like to collaborate please reach out!

As Sky TV has long been calling it, the present general election is nothing but a "Brexit Election".
So it is no wonder, therefore, that, just as during the 2016 "Brexit Referendum", torrents of lies are flooding every single media outlet, generated by Johnson and his Tory sidekicks, in the hope of attracting more votes.
Johnson's sick NHS ghosts
The Tory manifesto's pledges on the NHS are both the most cynical and the most blatant examples of these lies.
Back in September, long before this manifesto, Johnson had already primed his election bombshell with the promise of "40 new hospitals". And no sooner had he made this announcement, than it was proved to be a lie: apart from re-announcing previously-announced plans to refurbish 6 hospitals within 5 years, the 34 other hospitals in Johnson's pledge already exist, but are all badly in need of repairs. But there is no plan and no funding attached to this pledge. And, of course, there is no "new” hospital whatsoever!
Last week, the same pledge was recycled in the Tory manifesto, with some clarification added. The other 34 existing hospitals would be given funding, but only to draft "business plans" for their refurbishment. If any work was ever to be undertaken, it would only start from 2025, to be completed by 2030! Whether or not these hospitals can function for another ten years is obviously not an issue!
In any case, none of this has stopped Johnson from sticking to his "40 new hospitals" lie!
Then, this was followed with the manifesto's "50,000 more nurses" pledge. As it turned out, 19,000 of those are existing NHS nurses, who the Tories pledge to convince to work for a longer period of time within the NHS (how, they do not say!). But this includes the 12,400 nurses who the NHS Long Term Plan intended to retain, when it was announced last January!
Another 12,000 nurses are to be recruited from abroad (at a time when, under Johnson's premiership, the Home Office has just blocked a plan to do just that!). 14,000 would be recruited by reinstating the nurses' bursaries (scrapped by the Tories two years ago!). The remaining 5,000 would come via internal NHS apprenticeships!
So, once again, the "50,000 more nurses" is just another blatant lie, designed to sound good in election speeches!
That demagogues like Johnson or his twin, Nigel Farage, should play politics with such lies, without the slightest consideration for the fact that what is actually at stake is the health of the population and in particular the health of the working class, does not come as a surprise, of course. They're just self-serving careerists who know which side their bread is buttered - on the capitalists' side!
No stake for the working class
This applies to their Brexit blackmail too: their claim that they will solve the Brexit conundrum once and for all, is just another lie. Dismantling tight economic ties built over four decades of partnership with Europe cannot be done quickly, nor even fully, let alone without any damage.
Johnson's "oven-ready" deal and Farage's "neat break" are just mirages, behind which they conceal either open trade war, or on-going protracted negotiations. Either way, Brexit will still dominate the political scene with its long, divisive shadow and its anti-migrant, xenophobic bias.
While it might be obvious that the Tories or the Brexit party do not represent workers' class interests, it might be less obvious that this also applies to the other parties standing in the election. And this means that there is no way for us to cast our votes in any useful way.
Many of us may be tempted to vote Labour, either because it seems to focus on addressing the problems of the working class, or as a means of voting against Johnson's upper-class, arrogant contempt. This may be why pollsters have recorded increased ratings for Labour - which, in turn, spawned a furious resurgence of the campaign accusing Corbyn of anti-semitism.
For what? For criticising the state of Israel and its prime minister (now officially charged with corruption) over their criminal policies against the Palestinian people? But who are the worst enemies of the Jewish people, if not those politicians who, like Netanyahu, are using religion and their positions at the top of the Israeli state, to deprive the Palestinian population of their rights, thereby taking the Israeli Jews hostage in their own adopted land? So, yes, this campaign against Corbyn is yet another hypocritical farce.
As to Labour's "radical" programme, it might be attractive if it sought to build on the conscious mobilisation of the working class against the capitalist exploiters, instead of Corbyn’s insistence that he is "not anti-business". In fact Corbyn is much too respectful of the bosses' system even to hint at the possibility that the working class could play any role in its own future, by taking its fate into its own hands. Yet this is what needs to happen. And it won't happen through the ballot box!

Two 20-year-old males, from Mountain View and San Jose, were arrested last week in connection with several home and car burglaries in Los Altos, according to police.
The Los Altos Police Departmentresponded Thursday at 5:20 a.m. to a citizen's report of suspicious individuals on the 200 block of Hawthorne Avenue.
Two suspects, later identified as Nathan Hubbard of Mountain View and Isaiah Magee of San Jose, were found hiding on a residential property, police said.
The pair were in possession of property belonging to a nearby residence that was just burglarized while the homeowners were asleep, police said.
Inside the suspects' vehicle parked nearby, officers said they recovered property reportedly stolen from at least five other recent home and vehicle break-ins throughout Los Altos.
Included with the loot were items swiped from homes where the suspects allegedly gained entry using garage door openers stolen from cars, police said.
Hubbard and Magee were booked into the Santa Clara County Jailfor suspicion of burglary, possession of stolen property and conspiracy.
Investigators are currently working to identify any additional victims from Los Altos and surrounding cities, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Los Altos Police Department Investigations Unit at (650) 947-2770.

London - Gerry Anderson, the British creator of popular television show Thunderbirds, died on Wednesday aged 83 after a long battle with dementia, his son said on his blog.
"I'm very sad to announce the death of my father, Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson. He died peacefully in his sleep at midday today ... having suffered with mixed dementia for the past few years," Anderson's son Jamie wrote.
The puppeteer started his television career in the 1950s, creating a string of popular British shows including 1964's Stingray and 1967's Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.
His company AP Films pioneered the "supermarionation" puppetry technique with the fusion of marionette figures and small-scale models to create live action-style shows.
Anderson's most notable production was 1965 series Thunderbirds, featuring marionette puppets, about a secret organisation that performs rescue missions using high-tech tools and vehicles, with characters such as ex-astronaut Jeff Tracy and agent Lady Penelope.
While the show only aired for two seasons on British television, it became a cult favorite and was adapted for the big screen, most recently in 2004 film Thunderbirds, with the voices of Ben Kingsley and Bill Paxton.
Anderson is survived by his wife Mary and four children.
