‘Get basics right and promote better standards’: Stark orders for new head of Metropolitan Police | UK News
The home secretary has spelled out to the new Scotland Yard commissioner the vast improvements she is demanding in his force’s culture and performance.
Priti Patel writes in a letter to Sir Mark Rowley: ‘It is absolutely vital that trust and confidence is restored and that visible, responsive policing which cuts crime is at the forefront.
“I expect the Metropolitan Police under your leadership to get the basics right and provide the first-class service expected of it.”
Sir Mark starts his job in a week’s time after the controversial departure of his predecessor Dame Cressida Dick, who quit after clashing with London Mayor Sadiq Khan, though she was supported in a recent independent report on her resignation.
The home secretary writes: “I also expect you, as commissioner, to promote better leadership and higher standards at every level throughout the force.”
Under Dame Cressida, the Metropolitan police force was castigated over a series of scandals that led to questions over its culture and standards; the rape and murder of Sarah Everard by off-duty PC Wayne Couzens, the taking and sharing of photographs of two murdered sisters by officers, the racist and misogynist text message-sharing by officers at Charing Cross police station and the strip-searching of a young black schoolgirl.
The force is one of six put into special measures by the police watchdog Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services which recently condemned policing in England and Wales for poor performance, especially over burglary, robbery and other acquisitive crime.
Ms Patel writes: “That report found that on too many occasions the Met, as a force, is failing to get the basics right when dealing with these crimes, which cause immense distress to the public.
“It is deeply disappointing and unacceptable that many police forces are falling short.
“You know my view that there is an essential requirement across policing to raise the bar on standards and to get the basics right.
“As the largest force in the country, it is right for the Met to set an example in how to deal with crimes of this kind and also to beat crime down.”

Who is Sir Mark Rowley?
Ms Patel also tells the new commissioner she expects him to make sure the Met meets its target of 4,557 new officer recruits and boosts non-police staff by March next year.
She adds in her letter: ‘It will no doubt be a challenging time for the force, but I have every confidence that under your leadership these challenges can be overcome.”
Sir Mark retired from Scotland Yard in 2017 as an assistant commissioner after leading the Counter Terror Command and after being beaten to the top job by Dame Cressida.
He was appointed in July and said at the time: “Our mission is to lead the renewal of policing by consent, which has been so heavily dented in recent years as trust and confidence have fallen.
‘We will deliver more trust, less crime and high standards for London and beyond, and we will work with London’s diverse communities as we together renew the uniquely British invention of ‘policing by consent’.”

It is necessary to recall the prerequisites for the appearance of carabiners of unusual appearance. Hungary has a rather strict legislation in the field of civilian weapons. Citizens are allowed to acquire certain categories of “full-fledged” small arms for the purposes of collecting, hunting or playing sports. For self-defense, they can only use limited damage systems — a “traumatic” weapon using gas cartridges or ammunition with a spherical rubber bullet.
Carabiner Keserű Home Defender with 10-charging magazine
Taking into account such features of the legislation, local and foreign manufacturers offer to potential buyers samples of different classes that have some common features. In the second half of the 2000th, Keser Mkvek (Budapest) launched the Rubber Rain traumatic carbine. This product was a smooth-bore rifle with a revolving feed of cartridges. A characteristic feature of the carbine, related to the requirements of the laws, was the use of a separate-loading ammunition: the weapon had to shoot a spherical rubber bullet with a diameter of 19,3 mm, for the ejection of which the 9-mm idler turret cartridge was used.
The Keserű Rubber Rain carabiner had advantages and disadvantages. At the same time, he managed to interest citizens in need of self-defense. For several years, such a weapon was manufactured in a rather large series and was actively sold. However, soon the company "Keseru Myuvek" decided to abandon the carbine of the first version in favor of its improved version.
Recycling the original project did not take long, and at the beginning of 2010, a new special carbine appeared in the Hungarian gun shops. The upgraded version of the Rubber Rain base was called the Home Defender. When creating new modifications of weapons such designation was preserved, although it could be modified or supplemented by new letters.
In the new project Home Defender, the basic features of the base sample were retained. At the same time, much of the parts of the weapon underwent one or another alteration. As a result, the appearance, dimensions and ergonomics of the weapon have changed. First of all, “Home Defender” differed less complex forms, which was associated with a simplified design of the receiver. In addition, instead of a movable front handle recharge, which now could use the traditional sliding handguard.
In the new project, the carbine receiver was a rectangular unit of constant cross-section, assembled from the main unit and the top cover. The front of the box contained the trunk and served as its casing. For the flow of air to the barrel in the sides of the box appeared sloping slots. In the center of the receiver provided for a large cutout, designed to install the store of one of two types. The rear unit receiver accommodates the details of the firing mechanism. Under the barrel cover, depending on the configuration, there could be a vertical handle or a sliding forearm. Under the casing USM secured grip fire.
View of sights
Product Keserű Home Defender received a smooth barrel of medium length caliber 19,3 mm. It is curious that in earlier documents and promotional materials the carbine was listed as 18-millimeter. In the breech bore provided for thickening for installation in the receiver. Before the breech on the trunk there was a return spring used in the recharge system. A movable block was worn on the barrel with a longitudinal channel to which a handle or forearm was attached to the bottom. On top of the block was set thrust to control the cocking and supply of ammunition. Unlike the base Rubber Rain, all the main parts of the recharge system were placed inside the receiver. Outside of it, for obvious reasons, only the handle / handguard remained.
In the rear volume of the receiver positioned trigger mechanism. A shock type system was used. The latter moved along the axis of the weapon and cocked with the help of the thrust of the front handle. Fire control was carried out using a traditional trigger. Fuse not provided. At the same time there was a simple indicator arming USM. The tail of the drummer with a bright color in the cocked position went out through the hole in the rear wall of the receiver.
With the new traumatic Keserű Home Defender carbine, it was proposed to use existing drum shops that were previously developed for the Rubber Rain product. In this case, only shops for 10 cartridges went into action. From the larger stores on 24 shot decided to give up due to their excessive size and weight. As before, the store, using its own fasteners, advanced on the guide of the receiver and was fixed in its place with an uncomplicated latch.
The shop from the company "Keseru Myuvek" had a cylindrical metal body with a notch in the upper part, with which the chambers were to interact with the barrel. The main part of the store was a large aluminum drum, near the edge of which cavities were drilled for blank cartridges and rubber bullets. Chambers for the latter were in the front of the drum, cavities for shells with a propellant charge - in the rear. The weapon did not have its own means of extracting the spent cartridge case, so they had to be knocked out manually when preparing the store.
The drum was installed inside the body on the axis and could freely rotate on it. The rotation of the drum was controlled by the standard means of the weapon itself. The movable longitudinal thrust connected to the reloading handle had a lower pin. On the outer surface of the drum, in turn, curved grooves were provided. When the reloading handle was moved backward, the pin of the thrust rested against the wall of the groove and made the drum rotate, bringing another bore with a rubber bullet to the barrel.
Shop on 10 Blank Cartridges and 10 Rubber Bullets
The first traumatic carbine from Keserű Művek had the simplest aiming devices in the form of a fly mounted on a relatively high base. The new project Home Defender included the use of a more advanced sight. On the front of the receiver cover set unregulated front sight. Behind on the same cover the simplest rear sight was located. The weapon had not the highest firing characteristics, and full-fledged aiming devices could hardly seriously improve the accuracy and accuracy of fire. However, the new pillar was clearly not superfluous.
If desired, the shooter could equip his carbine with any compatible device. For installation of lamps, laser designators, etc. on the sides of the front of the receiver there was a pair of standard Picatinny rail.
The Rubber Rain carabiner had specific ergonomics: it had to be held by the two handles without any rest. Relative convenience was provided only when shooting from the hip, and the appliance to the shoulder was not provided. All this in a known manner spoiled the accuracy and efficiency of the fire.
In the Home Defender project, the ergonomics were seriously reworked. Now the second hand could lie both on the handle and on the mobile forearm, depending on the product configuration. The most important innovation was the folding butt. It was made of thick metal wire. The butt had a pair of longitudinal elements connected by a U-shaped shoulder rest. Longitudinal butt rods moved in tubes attached to the sides of the receiver. If necessary, the butt could be dismantled. Some modifications of the Home Defender did not have it at all.
Despite the most noticeable differences, the new Keserű Home Defender carbine in its dimensions and characteristics hardly differed from the base Rubber Rain. The length of the product did not exceed 550-600 mm with a mass of the order of 4-5 kg. The idle revolver cartridge allowed the spherical pool to give energy to 120 J. As a result, the effective range of fire did not exceed a few meters. At long distances, the bullet quickly lost energy. The rate of fire depended solely on the physical capabilities of the shooter, namely on his ability to quickly move the reload handle.
According to reports, the first batches of the traumatic carbines of the new model were noticeably different from the subsequent ones. The first serial Home Defender were completed with wooden fittings, which included a movable forearm. For one reason or another, Keserű Művek decided not to equip serial rifles with a front vertical grip. In addition, the first "Defenders" had no stock. Thus, despite the different form of a number of basic details, the self-defense weapon of the new model resembled the previous model of its class.
Home Defender in the hands of an arrow
Later, production of recycled Home Defender was launched. Probably, as a result of the analysis of the wishes of customers, the manufacturing company returned the plastic accessories. In addition, the forend replaced the usual front handle. Finally, newer carbines were completed with a simple wire butt. The rest of the samples of different series did not differ from each other.
Despite the design improvements and the introduction of new parts, the serial "Home Defenders" of different parties were sold at the same price. In the retail sale for such weapons they asked about 80 thousand forints - about 300 euros.
In the middle of 2010, information appeared about the imminent appearance of a new modification of the Keserű Home Defender carbine. This version of the weapon was intended to use the cartridge type 12 / 35. Apparently, it was a unitary ammunition with a rubber bullet 12-caliber (nominally 18 mm). As far as is known, this version of the traumatic weapon was not brought to mass production and sales.
Probably, the project had to be abandoned due to limited commercial prospects. Hungarian laws do not allow civilians to use traumatic weapons for a unitary cartridge with a rubber bullet, and government agencies might not show interest in the proposed modification of the Defender. Export potential carbine caused some doubts. In this case, the most logical solution was to abandon the project.
Over time, the company Keserű Művek has launched the release of traumatic carbines in several configuration options. In addition, it was decided to return the large-capacity stores, which allowed the 24 to be shot without replacement. Thus, anyone who wants to protect themselves and their home, at an affordable price, could purchase a weapon in the most interesting configuration. It was possible to choose a product with a forearm or grip, with or without a stock, and with a magazine of a particular container. There is reason to believe that the choice has a positive impact on sales.
As in the case of the first traumatic carbine, the new weapon under the “Keseru” brand sold well and confidently kept in its niche of the civilian arms market. However, the development company did not intend to maintain the current state of affairs and refuse to further develop its weapons. In 2011, a new version of the self-defense weapon was introduced, developed on the basis of proven and proven solutions.
This time the Hungarian gunsmiths decided not to engage in a serious restructuring of the architecture and processing mechanisms. In a project called Home Defender Módosított (“modified”), the existing structure was modified to give it a new look. The new Keserű HDM carbine was made as close as possible to the AMD-65 army machine. However, the similarity with military weapons was achieved only through a few external details. The drum shop, the “pump action” mechanic and the double-action trigger remained in place.
A little later, the HDM carbine was again refined, with the result that a new model appeared, similar to the Home Defender of the first version. There were also created several versions of weapons in different versions. Thus, the whole family of self-defense weapons re-entered the market, each representative of which had certain features. Soon it allowed to refuse the further release of "Home defenders" of the first version. On the market, they were completely replaced by the newer Home Defender Módosított.
For several years, the Hungarian arms company Keserű Művek managed to release up to several thousand Home Defender traumatic carbines. Being a modified and improved version of the already existing Rubber Rain, the new “Home defender” was also able to interest potential buyers. Later, the success of two predecessors was repeated by the upgraded version of Home Defender.
Taking into account the special requirements of the legislation, the company Keseru Myuvek was able to create an interesting version of weapons designed for the self-defense of civilians. On the basis of the first sample of this kind, several new carbines with certain features were created. This allowed the manufacturer to strengthen its position in the market, as well as make good money on the supply of finished products.

When muscovite (a common mineral in crustal rocks) is heated to 740°-860°C under high Ar pressures for periods of 3 to 10.5 hours it absorbs significant quantities of Ar, producing K-Ar "ages" of up to 5 billion years, and the absorbed Ar is indistinguishable from radiogenic argon ( In other experiments muscovite was synthesized from a colloidal gel under similar temperatures and Ar pressures, the resultant muscovite retaining up to 0.5 wt% Ar at 640°C and a vapor pressure of 4,000 atmospheres.

Having worked in PR for over two decades, I’ve witnessed the full spectrum of workplace eating: from those who ate pretty much nothing but chocolate, crisps and biscuits all day; to those who got by on a reduced-fat cup-a-soup; to those who favoured a bacon bap; to those who ate nothing at all and just drank coffee.
I find that there’s a mind-boggling blind-spot when it comes to eating at work. Most people simply don’t make the connection between what goes in their mouth and their productivity, ability to think clearly, energy levels, positivity, creativity and mood. All of which are make-or-break keys to success at work… no matter what field you’re in.
As we’ve all experienced, blood sugar crashes quickly translate into doing and saying things which we later regret: whether it’s a careless mistake, snapping at a colleague or visibly zoning out in a client meeting. They may even cost us our job. How ironic that ambitious execs tend to devote more time and effort to refining their LinkedIn profile than they do to their food, blithely ignoring the fact that it has such a far-reaching effect on their performance at work. (I can tell you that, on those occasions when I was trapped in a four-hour boardroom meeting with no proper food, my first-class degree and stack of industry awards counted for absolutely nothing because my brain just turned to mush and all I thought about was filling my tummy.)
Being someone who was pretty much starving all day, no matter how much I ate, it was unthinkable for me to get through the day without a substantial lunch. I’d generally opt for a carbohydrate-bomb in the shape of a baguette sandwich or pasta dish. These days, I’m fortunate to be based at home where I can eat a home-cooked lunch. I’m also finally aware, after 40 plus years of being a slave to my yo-yoing blood sugar, of how to fuel myself properly.
While I’ve switched career to health coach, my husband is still MD of our busy PR consultancy and he’s been on something of a health-kick recently, so I’ve been helping him assemble his lunches.
I thought I’d share his lunchbox for today and talk you through why it’s such a winner at work.
Let me first say that this meal took all of three minutes to throw together as I’m a big fan of cooking once and eating twice, three times or as many times as I can possibly eke out of one batch of cooking.
Here’s what went in it:
- A big layer of lettuce leaves (these were pulled out from a box of pre-washed lettuce I prepare once a week).
- A handful of cherry tomatoes.
- A piece (about palm-sized) of salmon which was from last night’s dinner.
- Some roasted sweet potatoes (also from last night’s dinner – I coated them in cinnamon, turmeric and paprika before roasting).
- Half an avocado sliced.
- A generous dollop of my favourite dip, tahini (I make a load of this every few days to keep in the fridge).
- A big sprinkling of pumpkin seeds.
In addition, I included some salad dressing (cold-pressed olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Himalayan pink salt) in a separate bottle.
So, why is this such a power-house of a lunch as well as being a pleasure to eat?
The salmon gives you that all-important, high quality protein you need at each meal; veggies give you a load of health-protecting plant nutrients; you’ll get a good dose of key minerals such as zinc and calcium plus B Vitamins from the seeds and tahini; and the slow-burning carbs in the sweet potatoes will keep your blood sugar steady. And now for the key thing I want to stress about this lunch… it’s absolutely rammed with good fats (in the salmon, avocado, pumpkin seeds, tahini and olive oil).
It’s crucial to remember that these good fats make us feel full, keep our energy levels stable, feed our brain (which is 60% fat), improve our mood… and make food taste good! Eating a lunch such as this means you won’t be hit by an energy dip at 4pm and need to reach for a chocolate bar.
Can I say loud and clear that these fats will NOT MAKE YOU FAT!!! It’s the sugar and refined carbs probably sitting on your desk that make you fat. My husband has been eating my power packed lunches for the past month and is close to losing the excess stone he wanted to shift ahead of the summer and which was accumulating around his waist.
If you’re looking for your next promotion and to boost your salary, it’s probably worth bearing this in mind: research has shown that your brain shrinks in line with your belly getting bigger. Think about this for a second: it’s impossible to excel at work and move up the career ladder if your brain is shrunken and compromised. Your brain not only dictates the quality of that report you’re working on, or how compelling your next presentation is…but your relationships and the decisions you make across all aspects of your life. In short, it dictates pretty much everything. And I think that merits putting a bit of thought into your packed lunch.
Over to you now. What’s your go-to work lunch and what do you eat to power you through stressful days? Feel free to share!

HUSKIES, COLLEGE FOOTBALL
As UW gets ready for the University of Arizona, the defense is ready to build on an impressive third-down performance against UCLA.
The Husky defensive unit yielded first downs on just four third-down attempts by the Bruins, according to the Times' notebook today.
There is also an interesting feature on wide receiver Sonny Shackleford.
But forget about the players for a moment. According to Ted Miller, there's something else at work for the Huskies.
On thing the Huskies have to worry about now: studies. School is back in session so it's not just football all the time. UW is on the quarter system, so students start later and finish later.
The Times' Bud Withers has an excellent column about Pac-10 football officiating, examining the conference crews from a multitude of angles – probably more angles than replay official Gordon Riese had to work with in Eugene.
UW's womens basketball team received another commitment from a high school senior. This is a big one. Kali Bennett is a 6-foot-5 forward from Ventura, Calif.

Park cleared of 3 dozen bags of trash
Published 12:01 am Saturday, October 15, 2016
NORCO — As part of the International Coastal Clean-Up, coordinated locally by the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation, 84 volunteers with the Wetland Watchers Project recently cleaned up trash along the nature trails and shoreline at St. Charles Parish Wetland Watchers Park.
Thirty-nine full bags of trash and lots of junk were collected, including many dirty diapers that visitors threw off of the nature trail.
“The majority of our visitors care about the park and the wetlands it is located in,” said Watchers Project founder Barry Guillot, a Harry M. Hurst Middle School teacher.
“I have always been a person who wants to leave a place better than when I arrived, so I cannot imagine leaving all of my trash for someone else to pick it up.”
Eighth grader Savannah McReynolds said picking up trash at Wetland Watchers Park was important to because the trash pollutes the animals’ environment.
“All of that trash makes it hard for animals to live and thrive,” she said
Much of the collected trash is known to be fatal to animals, which could ingest water bottle caps and cigarette butts, suffocate in plastic bags or become trapped by discarded fishing line, according to Guillot.
Volunteers picked up 133 plastic bags, 335 water bottle caps and 198 plastic bottles.
Eighth grader Riley Duffaut was happy to participate because she thinks it teaches children to pick up after themselves.
“I think it is sad to see people just throw trash in the wetlands because they are destroying the environment,” she said.
There are trash containers throughout the front area of the park that are emptied regularly by the St. Charles Department of Parks and Recreation.

To evaluate the morphological changes of cornea by in vivo laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) in a large case series with silicone oil endotamponade after vitroretinal surgery and explore the value of LSCM in the early detection of silicone keratopathy (SK).
99 patients (99 eyes) with silicone oil endotamponade after vitroretinal surgery were included in the current study. Slit lamp examination and measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) were performed at first. Then the central cornea of enrolled eyes was examined by in vivo LSCM. The images of each cornea layer were analyzed and endothelial cellular density (ECD), endothelial cellular area (ECA), coefficient variation of cell size (CoV) and percentage of hexagonal cells (PHC) were measured. Moreover, the total size of stromal deposits was measured and the correlation between the size of deposits and the parameters of endothelial cells was analyzed.
Clinical recognizable abnormalities involving cornea were identified in only 12 eyes (12.1%) under slit lamp biomicroscopy, whereas in vivo LSCM revealed morphological abnormalities in 40 eyes (40.4%). The manifestations of endothelium lesion were various including decreased cellular density, increased polymegatism and pleomorphism, and hyperreflective silicone oil membrane or droplets adhering on the endothelium. Moreover, hyperreflective deposits with various shapes could be identified in both posterior and anterior stroma. The presence of morphological abnormalities on either endothelium or stroma was defined as the manifestation of SK. In eyes with SK, the average ECD and PHC was significantly lower than in those without, whereas the average ECA and CoA were significantly larger (all P<0.001). SK patients were significantly elder than those without (P=0.003). The rate of pseudophakic and aphakic eyes developing SK was significantly higher than that of phakic eyes (P=0.045). Interesting, the total size of stromal deposits had a significant negative correlation with ECD and PHC, as a significant positive correlation with ECA and CoA (all P<0.001).
In vivo LSCM was a useful tool in early detection of SK, which was characterized with varying corneal endothelium lesions and stormal abnormalities as well. Pseudophakic or aphakic eyes, as well as older patients should be paid more attention since they were more inclined to develop SK.

New "road taxes": Russians will be forced to switch to public transport
Russia the biggest country in the world. Thanks to the idea of officials of the Ministry of Transport, soon you will have to pay for every kilometer covered by a car through its vast expanses. The cynicism of the situation lies in the fact that this is being presented under the most plausible pretext of introducing a supposedly "free ride on public transport." What is wrong with this initiative?
It is no secret that the "servants of the people" are ready to tear money from this very people in the worst traditions of "Signora Tomato". For example, in the Middle Ages, in some Western countries there was a tax for driving through city gates. In Europe, there were special taxes for Jews for passage and travel on bridges and roads, for the right to enter and exit the market square. Unfortunately, modern Russia is gradually moving back to these “wonderful times”.
I would like to remind you that according to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, all citizens of our country have the right to free movement. In 1992, under Yeltsin, a law was signed giving the right to build toll roads. There is nothing terrible in this practice in itself, there are toll roads in many developed countries. The fundamental point is that there should always be a free alternative so that the vehicle owner can decide for himself which motorway to use. The first, but very important step towards the abolition of this inalienable constitutional right was taken last year. In the regions of the Far North, bridges and overpasses that have already been built, and all that will be built in the future, have been paid for. For now, tolls will be charged only for trucks. Until.
The fact that it was only sounding of the soil is evidenced by another initiative of the Ministry of Transport. From 2025, you will have to shell out money for travel on regional roads, from 2035 - “from all road users,” that is, in cities. About whether this is an undertaking of the owners of private vehicles, officials are shyly silent. For now. The cynicism lies in the fact that the new levies are presented as a "great blessing" - the right to ride free on public transport, which can be introduced in 15 years. "Servants of the people" offer to transfer people to bicycles and scooters that are popular today. In this regard, I would like to say the following.
At first, public transport is best developed in our country only in giant megalopolises like Moscow and St. Petersburg. The situation behind the Ring Road is completely different, and it is very difficult to do without personal vehicles. The introduction of a new levy will reduce the mobility of the population, hitting development economics, and will "tie" people to the ground more tightly.
Secondly, “Free” travel in public transport is a fiction. This public service does not pay for itself, therefore it is subsidized from the budget. That is, ultimately, "free travel" is paid from our taxes. If the population is forcibly transferred to buses and trolleybuses, traffic and budgetary burden will only increase.
Let's remember that car owners also have to pay transport tax and fuel excise taxes. And now the new road taxes? What's next? Beard tax? Air tax?

This sought after segment, that not many Londoners have ventured to, is filled with luxurious mansions, fancy restaurants and has fast links into the city and Essex countryside.
Stations in the star-packed corner inlude Chigwell, Buckhurt Hill and Epping.
Here are the celebrities who live in the area:
The businessman and Apprentice boss has lived in the community for many years.
His 18th-century mansion is located near Chigwell station and when he is not finger-pointing in the board room he relaxes his digits at home with wife Anne.
Snooker Champion Ronnie O'Sullivan and actress Laila Rouass also call Chigwell home.
The pair met when the former Holby City star was looking for a place to live in the area and after dating for four weeks, they moved in together - problem solved.
Sir Rod Steward is one of the best selling artists of all time, having sold more than 250 million records worldwide.

Known for his distinctively raspy voice, the music legends used to live in a ten-roomed mansion (complete with pool and bar) with his wife Penny Lancaster and their family.
Last year he moved further out into Essex and sold his huge property to a Premier League football player for a reported £4.1million.
The Chase presenter lives in a £2.5million converted barn in Chigwell with his wife, Donna, and son, Barney.
During the pandemic, he treated Instagram fans to views of his luxury home and surrounding area.
He also uploaded posts of his celebrity friends including Peter Jones.
Andy Carroll and Billi Mucklow
Andy Carroll has lived in two locations in the golden triangle.
The Newcastle United striker first moved to Chigwell with former TOWIE star, Billi Mucklow.
The property had a football pitch and a replica statue of the Angel of the North to remind him of where he was born.
When he put the house up for sale last year it was the most-viewed property on Rightmove in 2019.
He then moved to Epping and is said to live in Rod Stewart's former home.
The Little Mix singer also lives in the region close to Chigwell.
Originally from Romford, she found fame on The X Factor along with band members Jade, Leigh-Anne and Perrie.
Fans got to look around her gorgeous home during an episode of Eat In With Little Mix.
The performer is currently taking an an "extended" break from the band for "private medical reasons", their publicist has said.
Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan
Former TOWIE star Mark Wright was born in Essex but after meeting Michelle Keegan the pair decided to move in together in Chigwell.
The performer left her home town of Manchester to live in a stunning £2million pad in the triangle with her husband.
The Our Girl and Brassic actress also played one half of a famous Chigwell couple on TV.
She took the role of Tina Moore, wife of Bobby Moore in the hit show, Tina and Bobby.
Michelle and Mark do not live in Chigwell full time, however.
For part of the year, they reside in Los Angeles where Mark works for entertainment show 'Extra.'

Design and Technology is a foundation subject in the National Curriculum. Planning is in line with NC requirements for KS1 and KS2 and the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum.
THE FOUNDATION STAGE
When planning D&T projects in the Early Years we follow the objectives as set out in specific strands of the Early Learning Goals (PSED, Expressive Arts and Design and Understanding the World). We provide a range of experiences that encourage exploration, observation, problem solving, critical thinking and discussion. These early experiences include asking questions about how things work; investigating and using a variety of construction kits, materials and tools; developing ‘making’ skills and handling appropriate tools and materials safely and with increasing control. This learning forms the foundation for later work in Design &Technology.
KEY AREAS OF LEARNING FOR KS1 & KS2
Design: Children develop their understanding of how research and design contribute to innovative, functional products through discussion and annotated sketches
Make: Children are encouraged to select and use a wide range of tools, materials, textiles and ingredients for cutting, shaping, joining and finishing
Evaluate: Children investigate and analyse their own and existing products against a set criteria
Technical knowledge: Children develop their understanding of structural design, mechanical systems, electrical systems and computer programming to monitor and control their products
Cooking & Nutrition: Children are taught to understand and apply the principles of a healthy and varied diet to prepare and cook a variety of predominantly savoury dishes using a range of cooking techniques. They begin to understand seasonality, and know where and how a variety of ingredients are grown, reared, caught and processed.
In KS1 we explore:
- simple mechanisms (sliders & levers; wheels & axles)
- food technology
In KS2 we explore:
- mechanical systems (levers & linkages; pulleys & gears)
- electrical systems
- textiles (2-D & 3-D products)
- food technology
- how key events and individuals in D&T have helped shape our world.
Our creative and imaginative staff plan projects which are both relevant and engaging to the children linking them, where possible, to current topics. Parents play an important part in DT and are often invited into school to help with the ‘making’ element of projects.
During EYFS, the essential building blocks of the children’s Design & Technology capabilities are established. There are many opportunities for the children to carry out DT related activities across all areas of learning. Children learn how to use a range of simple tools, they construct with a purpose in mind and often replicate familiar structures, they investigate how everyday objects work and they begin to understand the importance of a healthy diet and how to use techniques and processes involved in food preparation. Relevant vocabulary is promoted as the children discuss their explorations.
As part of our work on space and the planets, we made our own space rockets. We had lots of fun finding out whose flew furthest!
Designers of the Future
In Year 1, we enjoyed looking at books that had moving parts so much that we decided to learn more about them. We learnt about levers, sliders and pivots. We even designed and made our very own Christmas cards with moving parts!
In Year 2, our work on textiles took on a festive touch! First, we looked at a range of existing puppets before investigating different ways of joining materials. They we honed our sewing skills before designing and making our own Christmas characters. Look at the photos to see the story of how we made our puppets.
We are extremely proud of our puppets. Can you guess who they are?
Acquiring new skills
Designing, Making and Evaluating
With Christmas in the air, we have been busy in Year 3 designing and creating festive gingerbread biscuits. We thought carefully about our consumer (a child) and designed Christmas biscuits that we could decorate with intricate piped icing designs. We tasted a range of biscuits to help us decide on the perfect ingredients for our own. Then we mixed, rolled, cut and baked our biscuits and patiently learnt how to create the perfect consistency of icing for piping. Take a look at us learning these skills and perfecting our baking abilities. Which biscuit design would you choose?
Piping icing - we had to get the right consistency!
Designing, Making and Evaluating
In Year 4, we investigated, designed and made a picture with an electrical system - a light up feature.
In year 5 we linked our DT work to World War 1, as we have been learning about this in our topic work. We made hospital tents as would have been seen during this era. We built frame structures using art straws and pipe cleaners and then used different materials for the covering and first aid design.
In Year 6, we linked our DT food unit with our topic work on the Second World War. First, we tasted some recipes that had been recreated using recipes from the era. Then we practiced skills such as slicing, grating, mashing, mixing, kneading and blending. Next, we designed our own menus using ingredients that would have been available and plentiful at the time. We made vegetable soup, bread and a cake.

Students from the Lakota Language Nest sing to President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at the Cannon Ball Flag Day Powwow in Cannon Ball, North Dakota, on June 13, 2014. Photo by Desiree Condon / Facebook
The National Indian Education Association is heading to Capitol Hill this week to lobby for passage of two Native language bills.
the Native Language Immersion Student Achievement Act, creates a grant
program for Native language immersion schools. The bill will benefit programs where Native languages are the primary language of instruction, an essential step for generating new generations of speakers.
President Barack Obama and First
Lady Michelle Obama saw first-hand the results of one such program during his visit to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North Dakota last month. A group of young students from the Lakota Language Nest sang the Lakota national anthem for the couple and powwow attendees.
"The purpose is to fully immerse three-year-olds in the Lakota language to create a
younger generation of speakers," according to a FAQ from Sitting Bill College, a tribal college on the reservation that hosts the program. "Standing Rock currently has NO fluent speakers under the age of 15. Due to this critical state of the language we need to create a language nest."
Funding similar programs will help other Native languages, advocates told the Senate Indian Affairs Committee at a hearing on June 18.
The bill authorizes $5 million in fiscal year 2015 and "such sums as may be necessary" for each subsequent fiscal year through 2019.
The second measure is S.2299,
the Native American Languages Reauthorization Act. The bill extends the Esther Martinez Native Languages Preservation Act Act through the end of fiscal year 2019 to continue funding programs that are "already being successfully used in Indian Country," Ed Delgado, the former chairman of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin, told the committee last month.
Both bills will be considered at the committee's business meeting on Wednesday afternoon.
If they are approved, they can be sent to the Senate for a floor vote.
The House has yet to consider either measure so NIEA will keep Congress informed at a Legislative Advocacy Day briefing on Wednesday morning, from 9am to 11:30am in Room SVC-208 of the Capitol Visitors Center.
Tribal leaders, Native educators and members of Congress are due to speak about the need to preserve Native languages.

Though an army besieges me, my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, even then will I be confident." - Psalm 27:1

Courtlin’s Resolution Movie List: Week 10
Another week, another movie! I chose a movie to watch this weekend from my New Year's Resolution movie list, and it's one that I should have watched the week of February 2nd - Groundhog Day (1993).
I know I'll probably get some hate for this, but in my opinion, the movie wasn't as great as everyone made it out to be. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching it, but I didn't feel like there was a clear explanation of WHY he kept living the same day over and over. Like, WHO made that happen? I understand that he needed to learn a lesson in order to break the cycle, but who was the person or being or whatever who cast this magical spell on him? I WANT ANSWERS.
Other than that, the movie was quite entertaining. For awhile I felt like I was going a little bit insane. An hour into the movie and I felt like I had been watching it for 3 hours. I started to wonder if it was EVER going to end. I honestly thought that he was going to live for eternity in a Groundhog Day hell, and the movie would not have a happy ending. Fortunately, I was wrong. I was SO relieved when he finally woke up on February 3rd.
If you have any movie suggestions for me, leave them below!

Honoring Roger Corman
When we were kids, my sister and I spent most Saturdays at the Cornell, a big ol’ barn of a theater that showed 50-cent double-bills of every Jerry Lewis, Elvis and “Beach Blanket” movie ever made. Even though the Cornell was dank and reaked of stale popcorn, I adored it and fell passionately in love with motion pictures.
One of the most prolific filmmakers of that period was Roger Corman, a master at creating cheap, schlocky fare that entertained a young but growing baby-boomer audience. Among his better known works are Death Race 2000, The Trip, The Raven starring Vincent Price, the original black-and-white Little Shop of Horrors, which was famously made in two days, and, yes, The Wasp Woman. Corman was quickly crowned the “king of the B movies.” But his influence was ultimately far more far-reaching as he inevitably had a hand in training many of my generation’s most renowned actors and directors, including Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda, Martin Scorsese (Raging Bull), Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather trilogy), Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind), Peter Bogdanovich (The Last Picture Show), Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential), and Joe Dante (Gremlins). In recognition of his accomplishments, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gave Corman an honorary Oscar as part of this year’s awards festivities. He was also feted on Friday as part of last week’s L.A. Film Festival (LAFF).
The LAFF event took place at the intimate 200-seat Grammy Museum theater. As usual, we were early and so sat where we could easily watch everyone enter. Our eyes were especially peeled for Jack Nicholson, whom we hoped would show-up to pay homage to his mentor.
Tim was the first to spot someone famous. “There’s Peter Bogdanovich!,” he whispered. He then noticed Peter Fonda standing in the far doorway with Roger Corman.
After a brief film chronicling Corman’s career, all three men took the stage, along with horrormeister Joe Dante and Roger’s business partner and wife Julie Corman. Oscar-winning screenwriter and director Curtis Hanson moderated the conversation.
All four protégés told how they came to work for Corman. Dante started as an editor, creating two-minute trailers for Corman’s vast library of films. This eventually led to him direct Piranha, a low-budget Jaws-type film that was hugely popular on the drive-in circuit in the 1970s. Hanson started as a screenwriter and under Corman’s tutelage went on to direct Sweet Kill about a man who literally loves women to death. Bogdanovich, too, started as a screenwriter after Corman read a couple of his articles in Esquire magazine. He was soon co-directing the motorcycle gang movie The Wild Angels, one of Corman’s biggest hits. Julie Corman told how she reluctantly became Roger’s producer. ("You can manage the money," he told her!) But it was Fonda who really stole the show. Not wanting to become another Disney contract player, he auditioned for Wild Angels and got the lead role when it was discovered his competition, George Chakiris, couldn’t ride a motorcycle. Three years alter, Fonda and Dennis Hopper made the iconic film Easy Rider.
Some of the anecdotes they told were recycled from the documentary Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, which we rewatched a couple of weeks ago after Hopper died. Still, it was wonderful seeing the interaction among the panelists and hearing their stories in-person, all while Corman sat there smiling broadly. Jack Nicholson never did appear, but we had a great time anyway.

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey love their new puppies!
But their twins Moroccan and Monroe are still getting used to the new fur balls!
Or at least that's how Nick Daddy explains it!
Here's what he said about where he got the pups and how his kids are adapting to them:
Mariah Carey and her hubby Nick Cannon sure do know how to do sexy time right!
Mariah spent some nice and relaxing time in a huge bubble bath, sippin' on her wine.
We bet she was waiting for Nick Cannon to bring her his "gift" so she could unwrap his "package."
Her fun bubble time was interrupted when her cute lil doggy Jill E Beans jumped into the bath with her!
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon were enjoying some holiday time together in Aspen.
And what better way to do that than going for a sleigh ride.
Only problem is it's not as easy as turning a key in an ignition.
Check out Mariah having to deal with some stubborn horsies.
Nick Cannon recently confessed that his stupid prank that we knew was a prank all along… was a prank all along.
As we previously mentioned, Nick Cannon tied his radio show co-host, Sarah Lee's dog Charlie Roo to some balloons and released him over NYC.
This was obviously a publicity stunt.
He floated a stuffed dog, with Katy Perry tickets inside.
So he recently called Sarah Lee to apologize. Apparently, Charlie Roo is back with Sarah now.
She might not have realized it was a prank to begin with though, as she seems pretty upset. According to her last Facebook update, she said:
"Dad, I’m coming home tomorrow."
Looks like Nick's prank might have gone a bit too far.
We'd have to agree.
We're not sure if this is real or a publicity stunt.
Nick Cannon apparently tied balloons to Charlie Roo, co-host of his radio show Sarah Lee's dog, and released him into the sky.
Now he's apparently floated across the hudson and is over New Jersey somewhere.
If it's real, that's so sad!
If it's fake, couldn't they think of a better way to get publicity????
Seems like a lose-lose to us.
Check out a video below that apparently shows a dog attached to some floating balloons.

He offers a smorgasbord of alternate realities that includes druggy references, "Subliminal Messages" and wacked-out sonic structures. If you start to feel like you're coming down, dose yourself with his on-point musical references, from Sgt. Pepper to Os Mutantes.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) March 11, 2018
Itential, an innovator in intelligent network automation solutions, today announced it will host a webinar with Light Reading on “The Top 10 Reasons that Network Automation Projects Fail,” March 22nd at 11 am EST/ 4 pm CET. The webinar will feature James Crawshaw, senior analyst with Heavy Reading, Chris Wade, Itential CTO and co-founder, and Josh Stephens, Itential chief strategy officer.
Over the last decade, cloud technology leaders have redefined infrastructure operations paradigms to manage large-scale ecosystems with a high degree of automation. Today, these same principles can be applied to network management, moving beyond basic scripting and modeling to greater programmability that leverages analytics and AI.
With the rapid growth in data traffic, networking technologies and complex workloads, engineers are under constant pressure to evolve their networks and ensure they meet demands. To address these ever-increasing needs, many network professionals have started down the road to network automation, but some are still considering their first steps. Both groups face a long list of challenges as they establish and maintain an automated network that fulfills business demands for change and innovation.
This webinar will address the top 10 challenges network operations teams face when automating for the first time or when increasing and optimizing their existing automation efforts. The presenters will provide expert tips on how to identify and overcome these challenges while simplifying management of a wide range of network automation tools and orchestrators.
In this session, attendees will learn how to:
- Overcome short-term thinking that can lead to an undesirable hodgepodge of network tools
- Develop an agile process around network automation
- Match the right networking tool to the job
- Create organizational alignment to ensure developers build tools that operations teams want and need
- Optimize planning processes and ensure they support long-term success factors without over-engineering for the unknown
- Ensure CSPs have the right skillsets and appropriate team structure in place
- Maximize the potential of network automation technology
To join this webinar, please register here: https://www.lightreading.com/webinar.asp?webinar_id=1149&webinar_promo=2917
Itential provides solutions that optimize network operations and enable organizations to embrace and maximize the potential of network automation as a competitive advantage. Our dynamic, multi-tiered platform is leveraged by some of the largest, most complex networks in the world to accelerate and automate changes that significantly increase network performance while minimizing overhead maintenance.

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — The talk in the Yugoslavian capital on Friday was filled with anger, accusations and bitterness. And that was just among the humanitarian mission of American religious leaders.
While the ecumenical group of clerics gathered by Rev. Jesse Jackson had come to bring peace, reconciliation and the return of three American POWs, the group has wound up fighting its own internal battles.
At times, the peace venture has seemed to be more of a demonstration of how politics and religion don't mix.
At the center of the bad feelings is Rep. Rod Blagojevich (D-Ill.), who joined the delegation largely because his Serbian-American contacts in Chicago helped smooth a path for Friday's visit with the prisoners.
But some members of the delegation were furious when Serbian military officials allowed only Jackson, Blagojevich and two journalists in to see the soldiers. They accused the Chicago congressman of politicizing a religious trip.
John Wyma, the congressman's chief of staff, retorted: "This mission from the beginning has been about the GIs and their families. What's important is that they're given some assurances that America takes care of its own."
Tension started before the group left Washington on Wednesday night, when several religious leaders in the group privately expressed dismay at Blagojevich for comparing what he called Serbia's "ethnic cleansing" of Kosovar Albanians to Nazi tactics in World War II.
That initial tussle over politicizing an ecumenical trip set the stage for what has become a central dilemma for the delegation: How to avoid offending their hosts while still making a credible plea for peace.
"In our effort to be peacemakers, we have not quite projected clearly . . . that we all feel this present government is most brutal and should be held fully accountable for all these atrocities," said Dr. Nazir Uddin Khaja, head of the Board of the American Muslim Council, after listening to Belgrade's Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Protestant, Jewish and even Muslim leaders condemn NATO bombing with virtually no mention of the suffering of Kosovar Albanians.
It is ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, most of them Muslim, who are the target of Slobodan Milosevic's forces.
"Either we are diplomats or we are people of justice . . . who will call a spade a spade," Khaja said. "Above all, we are God-fearing people."
The delegation is dominated in numbers by Orthodox clergy, some of whom have lived and taught in Serbia and are especially sensitive to the perception that Orthodox clergy in Yugoslavia have not done enough to condemn the atrocities of the Milosevic regime.
"Human need has to be met in the name of God, in the name of Christ. It's a religious imperative," said Rev. Leonid Kishkovsky, ecumenical officer for the Orthodox Church in America. Kishkovsky also sits on the board of International Orthodox Christian Charities, which is helping to provide aid to mostly ethnic Albanians in Kosovo.
"This war will end," he said. "We need to build the bridges of understanding now."

Earlier this month, a devastating law went into effect after legislators pushed through the most extreme and dangerous ban on abortion in the country only two states away in Texas. In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed what clearly seems to be an unconstitutional ban on abortion to remain in effect, essentially overturning Roe v. Wade for Texans.
Texas and Missouri have a lot in common besides legendary barbecue; both states face a litany of anti-abortion restrictions designed to make this essential health care difficult — if not impossible — to access. So really, the barbecue doesn’t matter all that much when our legislators are trying their damnedest to control our ability to make the best health care decisions for ourselves and our families.
We’re writing this out of concern for our friends, family and colleagues in Texas, but we’re also writing this because what Texas lawmakers did — stripping communities of their rightful health care — is very possible here in Missouri. No doubt, the same politicians who passed House Bill 126 in 2019 will work tirelessly to pass copycat legislation in the months to come. Already, Missouri only has one (yes, only one) clinic providing abortion care. We can drive across the border to Kansas or Illinois to access care, where many Texans will now be forced to travel in order to obtain their abortions. But that’s only if we can get the time off work, find someone to watch our kids, and raise enough funds to cover all these costs.
Missourians are not strangers to abortion restrictions. We’re particularly keen on the ones that are medically unnecessary and politically and ideologically motivated. In order to access abortion care, Missourians first have to wait 72 hours between their initial appointment and when they actually get their abortion. This means having to visit the clinic on two separate occasions, and taking more time off work, finding additional child care and being forced to navigate the swarm of hateful clinic protesters spewing harmful, dehumanizing judgments at patients exercising their rights.
So what can we do? Right now, we can channel our anger and frustration into meaningful action. Missourians who support access to abortion can fight disinformation about abortions and abortion access. We don’t need a new underground network for abortion access. We have abortion funds and organizations that support and lift up abortion providers like clinic escorts. These folks work around the clock to ensure that everyone who needs abortion care can access and afford it.
We can also talk about abortion more. Say the word “abortion” when talking about it, especially with family and friends. Abortion is not shameful, embarrassing or wrong. It’s a common, normal and a basic part of reproductive health care. We must center the lived experience and expertise of people who have abortions. When we live in a state with as awful maternal mortality rates as we do, we need to be working to normalize and destigmatize all reproductive health care, including abortion care, because when communities have access to the full spectrum of care, everyone benefits.
Talking about abortion also means knowing the facts and using them to debunk disinformation about medication abortion. It’s safe, effective, and above all else, medication abortion can help people take control of their health care in the comfort of their own home. That’s exactly why anti-abortion extremists in Texas (and Missouri) have made it inaccessible — and are itching to restrict it even further.
Unlike the popular saying in Las Vegas, what happens in Texas doesn’t always stay in Texas. Roe is already a right in name only to a majority of folks in our state — Black, Indigenous, and communities of color, youth, LGBTQ, and folks who live rurally. More than ever, we must fight for what is rightly ours: the ability to control our bodies, care for our communities and plan our futures.

Three candidates have successfully filed in their nomination papers to contest the October 21st 2021 Lusangazi Council Chairperson Election.
The first candidate to file in nomination papers was Fred Banda of the United Party for National Development (UPND) at 11:52 hours while William Banda of the Democratic party was second to file in his nominations around 13:00 hours.
The last candidate to file in his nomination papers around 14:30 hours was Patrick Banda of the Patriotic Front.
ZANIS reports that Msanzala constituency Returning Officer, Lucy Phiri declared the nominations for all the three candidates as valid and successful.
And all the three aspiring candidates for the Lusangazi Council Chairperson election have expressed confidence of scooping the seat.
The UPND candidate Fred Banda said he will look into the issue of clean water and sanitation, grading of roads, early distribution of farming inputs as well as women and youth empowerment once voted into office.
” I’m so grateful that my nomination was successful and I’m confident that I will win this election and attend to the needs of the people of Lusangazi such as the grading of roads, water, early distribution of farming inputs and women and youth empowerment since I understand the challenges better as a resident of this area”, he said.
While William Banda of the Democratic Party, who is also former Lusangazi Deputy Council Chairperson, pledged to continue with the much needed developmental projects in the area of infrastructure and also provision of clean water.
“As you all know that I worked as vice council chairperson for Lusangazi under the PF government, I now want to continue with the much needed developmental projects for this area under the Democratic Party,” he said.
And Patrick Banda of the Patriotic Front party pledged to look and understand the needs of the people of Lusangazi as he plans on how to develop the area.
“I know this area very well as I’m a resident of this place and will learn more challenges being faced by people in this area as I embark on developing this place when I become the Council Chairperson for the area,” he said.
The Lusangazi Council Chairperson election was supposed to take place when the country held the general elections.
However, the Electoral Commission of Zambia suspended the election after one of the contesting candidate, William Banda, for the former ruling party PF died on July 17th barely a month before the general elections.
According to article 52 (6) of the Constitution of Zambia, The Electoral Commission of Zambia, ECZ is mandated to hold elections three months after the death of the candidate.

We don’t generally like steamed vegetables. They are usually rather tasteless and are frequently too mushy. Colleen burned out on steamed vegetables during her strict diet years, and the only steamed vegetable I ever liked was steamed broccoli with not-so-healthy cheese sauce. But during a recent search for a new Asian(ish) vegetable side dish (other than the standard stir fry, or our Thai Peanut Green Beans, or Asian Grilled Asparagus) I stumbled across a recipe for “Sesame Steamed Zucchini”. It sounded pretty good, and really easy, so I printed it for later use.
Then a week or two ago, I got home early for work, and decided to surprise my wife by picking up some salmon to smoke, instead of the leftovers we originally had planned for dinner before heading to our small group Bible Study that night (we usually don’t have time to cook a fresh meal on those nights). I paired it with some wild rice with onions and mushrooms, and I suddenly remembered the zucchini recipe, and thought that would be a nice and easy side dish that would pair well with the salmon and rice. Turns out (as usual…) I was right!
I used yellow squash and zucchini for a little more color, and added some crushed red pepper for a bit of a kick, and it was great! We have already done it again, and it is destined to be a regular part of our rotation in the future for a variety of dishes, whether it be Asian, grilled, or even baked.
- 1 Small/medium zucchini
- 1 Small/medium yellow squash
- 2 Tsp sesame oil
- ½ lemon, juiced (1 tbsp)
- 1½ Tsp sesame seeds
- 1 Tsp reduced sodium soy sauce
- ¼ Tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
- Dash Salt and Pepper (to taste)
- Slice zucchini and squash lengthwise, then cut into ½ inch half moon slices.
- Place in steamer basket in saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, cover, and steam 5-7 minutes (If you prefer it less squishy, aim for 5)
- While steaming squash, mix oil, lemon juice, sesame seeds, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper in small measuring cup.
- Transfer steamed squash to serving bowl.
- Pour sesame mixture over the top and toss to coat.


Turkish builder, Alia Yachts, unveiled its fully custom 135-foot (41.30-meter) superyacht, Rüya, designed by Sorgiovanni Designs.
The name of the vessel means “Dream” in Turkish, which is actually quite an appropriate description for it as well.
Designed by Alia Yachts, the fully custom superyacht can be built in the owner’s material of choice: steel, aluminum or advanced-composites fiberglass (GRP). Rüya, just delivered to her new owner, is GRP.
Rüya boasts a 1001- square- foot (93 square meter) sundeck with a 10- person Jacuzzi, full bar and large family dining area on the top-most deck. The bridge deck aft has a dining area and another relaxed lounge area can be found on the foredeck. On the lower deck is beach deck with a large hydraulically operated submergible staircase, which also doubles as the quay-side passarelle when moored stern-to.
For the interiors, things were kept casual and tasteful, with slight tropical influences, such as bamboo and other tropical materials. For extra uniqueness, the yacht was fitted with a variety of custom furnishings, as well as other state-of-the-art amenities. There is an astonishing master suite for the owners, while ten extra guests can be comfortably accommodated in the lower deck cabins.
an Oossanen Naval Architects developed the engineering and below-waterline specifications of the vessel. Powered by twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT engines, Rüya is capable of a maximum speed of 14 knots with a range of 4,116 nm while cruising at 10 knots.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy:
If you can’t prove it’s viable from a business plan, it’s not a (project) the government should be funding (SacBee)
I’m not sure it is worth going any further than that, but I will. Rep. McCarthy said that about HSR, while at the same time his central Valley Congressional cohorts are saying that the money approved for HSR should be put towards widening Highway 99.
Can we think about this for a while? He’s criticizing rail for not making enough money back. When exactly have roads ever paid for themselves? When we do toll up roads, people are outraged (occasionally justifiably).
With gas prices at or above $4, can we just finally quit the ridiculous canard that roads are a good long-term solution? Either we work on making HSR happen, or you need to present an actual solution that both addresses the needs of a state of over 40 million people as well as climate change.
Sticking your head in the ground and hoping for the 1980s to come back doesn’t actually help California.


KXNG Crooked, aka Crooked I, shared his thoughts on the highly publicized beef between Meek Mill and Drake, whom the Slaughterhouse emcee said he's been a fan of for a long time. When asked about who he thinks won the battle, Crooked said that it was clear Drake studied out the situation, while he believes that Meek's response sounded rushed.
The "YODO" emcee then pointed out that Meek won in a big way with his claims of Drake ghostwriting his songs, which Crooked said took major points away when it comes to real hip-hop fans. However, the celebrated lyricist said that he's still a fan of Drake despite the ghostwriting rumors.

AMD made things clear: The 170W mentioned in its keynote actually refers to TDP.
When presenting its Ryzen 7000 processors at Computex 2022, AMD mentioned 170 W power. Some, like us, thought this value informed PPT (Power Tracking Package) AM5 platforms, others rather TDP processors. The company has made things clear: it’s TDP. The maximum PPT is 230W, so the MSI slip had no error. These increases are quite significant: the maximum TDP for the Vermeer Ryzen 5000 is 105 W, the PPT is 142 W.
AMD told our colleagues at Tom’s Hardware US in a press release: “AMD would like to correct the performance and TDP limits of the upcoming AMD Socket AM5. The AM5 socket from AMD supports TDP 170 W with PPT 230 W. TDPx1.35 is the standard calculation for determining PPT for AMD sockets in the “Zen” era. The new TDP 170 W is no exception to this rule (1701.35 = 229.5). »
The company justifies this increase as follows: “This new TDP will significantly increase the computing power of high-core processors in heavy computing. It will be added to the 65W and 105W TDP ranges of current Ryzens. AMD is proud to provide a community of enthusiasts with transparent and honest information about its products, and we want to take this opportunity to apologize for our mistake and any confusion we may have caused in this regard. ”
Note that the AMD statement does not explicitly mention the Ryzen 7000, but only the AM5 socket. In any case, it seems that the range should offer processors with 65 W, 105 W and 170 W TDP. The company is likely to offer 12 and 16 cores with a TDP of 105 W and others with a TDP of 170 W. These could function as HEDT chips to replace the Ryzen Threadripper on consumer platforms, and this range now appears to be limited to the “PRO” segment. .
On the other hand, note that the TDP multiplication rule of 1.35 for PPTs contains some exceptions. For example, in the case of the Ryzen 5 5600X, the factor is 1.17 (65W TDP, 76W PPT).
Finally, in Intel, a processor like the Core i9-12900KS has set new standards with its PBP (Basic processor power supply) 150 W and its maximum power (MTB, Maximum Turbo performance) 241 W. In short, whether it’s GPU or CPU, overpricing watts seems to be fine…
