Have you wondered if limestone in soil can affect a CO2-respiration test? Or, what the difference is in measuring soil respiration for 1-day “CO2-Burst” versus 3 or 7-days? Many of these questions are topics of a series of short, technical memos on the theme of Solvita testing prepared by Dr. Will Brinton and staff of Woods End Laboratories. While the memos are fairly scientific they are meant for a ge
Woods End Laboratories has announced the release of Solvita VAST (Volumetric Aggregate Stability Test), a rapid laboratory method for measuring water-stable soil aggregates. The new product was created to help soil labs complete the soil health test triangle, which evaluates physical in additon to biological and chemical components of the soil and typifies soil health testing. “The innovative Solvita VAST m
Recent farmer comparisons of soil health tests at differing labs are showing that despite analysis differences, health scores are more similar than one might expect judging from the national debate over soil methods. “If you look at any of these reports you are likely to draw similar conclusions” says Dr. Will Brinton of Woods End Labs. This finding is supported by at least two recently reported soil test project
When organic amendments such as manure or compost are soil applied it is difficult to predict response using ordinary soil tests. Several recent research projects have shed more light on intrinsic nutrient potential of natural fertilizers. The projects all employed Solvita tests including CO2-Burst and SLAN along with other conventional tests, and explored relationships to PMN and yields. Results clearly show that
To have robust soil health your soil must first meet certain criteria for microbial activity. You can be a marathoner but your exercise regime, rest schedule and nutrition has to be right to succeed. The same applies to microbial activity. The home of microbes is the soil environment which must be suitable for them to flourish. And the quality of specific components determines the integrity of this house. Discussi
I like the analogy of an engine when talking about soil health. What is the size of your soil engine? Have you checked lately? Just like you use a dynamometer to measure the horsepower on a tractor you can use Solvita soil respiration to measure the horsepower of your soil.
The Solvita SLAN test has been gaining steadily as word of mouth, research trials and farmer reports show that organic-bound Nitrogen – the kind revealed by the SLAN test- is of real practical significance.
Blogs provide an excellent opportunity to share information and ideas, discuss management practices and respond to questions from readers. In short – it is a place for a virtual agronomist, like myself to share information on soil health, i.e. what is it, how to measure it and how to manage it and discuss a host of other related topics and ideas.
In science it is often the case that increasing the sample size decreases the variance of the result, meaning large samples produce better estimates of content than do small samples. Soil laboratories use only a few grams of soil per sample for regular nutrient analyses, employing equipment that makes up for soil minutiae with low-level detection capability.

That chatter you’re hearing in Lafayette parish just might be people wondering about bringing video poker there.
Kevin Naquin, third-term Parish Councilman representing District 2, introduced the possibility of Lafayette video poker at a February Council meeting on a Tuesday night. He did so as a way to address the parish’s economic needs without having to raise taxes, which would be great news for residents!
The other four parish councilmen along with mayor-president Josh Guillory said they were amenable to letting residents vote on the matter. This would be the second time around as video poker legislation failed to pass in 1996.
“The times they are a-changin’”
— Bob Dylan
Ch-ch-ch-changes (and taxes)
Louisiana legalized video poker in 1991, but in 1996 around half of its parishes outlawed the machines. Those parishes included Lafayette but as Naquin noted, attitudes about other things have changed in the intervening years. For instance, marijuana has been legalized in many places. You can see ads for CBD oil online.
Councilman Josh Carlson considers that vote “at least an indication of where the public is.”
Another sign of the times? There’s even a petition on Change.Org to legalize Lafayette video poker.
Naquin also pointed out that video poker could serve as an alternative to raising property taxes or sales tax. The parish’s current property tax rate stands as one of the lowest median rates in the U.S.
“This is about the longevity and the future of the parish,” according to Naquin.
“The parish needs a revenue source to help subsidize the areas we’re lacking in and to allow us to do maintenance of roads, drainage, and bridges,” he said. Naquin called video poker “another solution parishes across the state of Louisiana do all day long.”
Estimates for local tax revenue if video poker were legalized in Lafayette Parish range from $1 million to $3 million.
Where’d the money go?
A standard argument for legalizing gambling or a form of it tends to be that the money just gets spent in other locales and benefits them instead.
“They’re spending it in St. Martin,” Naquin said. “They’re spending it in St. Landry. They’re spending it in Acadia.”
The Louisiana Gaming Control Board’s 2021 Annual Report put forth the amounts of video poker franchise fees collected by each of those parishes:
- Acadia Parish – $1.7 million
- St. Martin Parish – $3.5 million
- St. Landry Parish – $1.5 million
Those figures have stayed pretty much the same since the Control Board’s report for July 2015 to June 2016.
Losses to other places can sometimes be measured in jobs and actual physical property, as well as gambling tax revenues. In 2005 after almost 40 years in Carencro, Evangeline Downs moved to Opelousas, where it could operate as a racino.
But as pointed out in an op-ed in TheCurrentLA, the companies that own the video poker machines patrons would play on probably wouldn’t be based in Lafayette, so that revenue wouldn’t stay in the Parish, anyway. And while casino proponents often bring up the prospect of new jobs as a reason for permitting one, implementing video poker wouldn’t really create that much new employment.
“We’re not relying on gamblers to meet our needs,” Naquin said. “We’re looking to subsidize our reoccurring costs.”
But concerns about the possible human costs as well as any effects on quality of life as by-products of that subsidization are understandable sticking points. And similar concerns may have contributed to the voters’ rejection of a new casino in this past December’s Slidell casino referendum.
Regarding the possibility of more gambling options in Lafayette, Councilman John Guilbeau said, “I know what gambling also brings to the parish, and it can be a nightmare for us to manage if we’re not careful.”

During the Amazing Spider-Man panel at the San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel announced plans for Minimum Carnage and Punisher: War Zone.
The story revolves around Carnage escaping into the Micro-verse, with Venom and Scarlet Spider following in pursuit. This will be an event book that kicks off in Minimum Carnage: Alpha in October and then runs through Venom and Scarlet Spider titles. Cullen Bunn and Chris Yost will be writing, with art by Lan Medina. Declan Shalvey and Khoi Pham will do the art in the regular books.
The second announcement at the panel involved Punisher: War Zone – we’ve seen the teaser art all over the Major Spoilers site a few weeks ago. The five issue mini-series finds the Punisher taking on the Avengers when the team decides he must be stopped. Greg Rucka will write with Marco Checchetto providing the art.
“The question is, of course, what do you do with a ‘Problem Named Castle?’” asks Rucka. “Without giving too much away, let’s just say that events in PUNISHER #15 and PUNISHER #16 go big enough that Earth’s Mightiest Heroes can no longer hope the ‘Castle problem’ will take care of itself. At a certain point, they have to take responsibility for allowing Frank to have run as he has for so long.
“Honestly, everyone and their cousin has seen the traditional ‘two heroes beat each other to pulp,’ and that just won’t work with Frank,” Rucka says. “Against almost any Avenger, head-to-head, he’s going to be going down. One of the things I’m most excited about for this is showing the different takes on Frank and what he does, and the different approaches and arguments about how to effectively solve the ‘Castle problem.’ I don’t want to presume it as arrogance, but the Avengers, when they decide to act, they think they’re getting into one thing, and they discover it’s something very different.
“Because Frank, while he almost certainly knows he will ultimately lose, he’s not going to make it easy, and he’s not going to go quietly.”

Hi Greg, What DC character do you think will be in the next WB game? I personally would love to see one with the Bat Family minus the Batman (Nightwing, Batgirl, Redhood) all working together maybe even add different locations such as Bluhaven or Burnside.
The PC version has sold around 5 million copies according to Steam Spy. Overall, GTA V has sold more than 60 million copies. However well it may seem the PC version is doing... our footprint isn't even noticeable in their bottom line.
Consoles players also outspend PC something like 4:1 on micro transactions for GTA: Online. With the game providing the "Foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience" they want to prioritize the players who spend money online.
I got both games on XBOXONE and I'll admit I've put a lot more time into Fallout as of now. Tomb Raider looks beautiful from what I've seen in the first 3-4 hours but, Fallout has definitely taken over my life. I think I've already put a good 15+ hours. I look forward to Tomb Raider as break from the anarchy that is Fallout.
Am I wrong in assuming that the Josh Smith/Stoudemire match-up will be a mutual train wreck? Have either of those players been able to contribute anything to their current teams these days? (serious question)
Smith comes off the bench and gets you 10 pts and around 7 reb. I don't always agree with his passing ability but he does somethings well.

Lawmakers are deeply concerned with alleged efforts from the Justice Department to retaliate against an IRS whistleblower who was assigned to the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, a development which comes as a longtime criminal probe may be coming to a head.
Attorneys for the IRS agent said in a letter to Congress that their client, identified as a criminal supervisory special agent, was told that he and his “entire investigative team” would be removed from the fraud probe into the troubled son of President Joe Biden. The request for the removal was made at the “request of the Department of Justice,” according to the lawyers, who also said the move is “clearly retaliatory and may also constitute obstruction of a congressional inquiry.”
In a special edition of “Morning Wire,” Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley discussed the new state of play on the Hunter Biden investigation with Federalist CEO Sean Davis, who said that the alleged move was a “completely inappropriate action” to take amid a high-profile probe.
“It appears that he has evidence and knowledge of politics and inappropriate influence from the highest point of government being exerted to protect Hunter Biden,” Davis, a veteran conservative journalist and congressional staffer, said of the whistleblower.
Officials from the FBI and IRS have been examining the business dealings and tax affairs of Hunter Biden for several years. Hunter Biden allegedly introduced his father to foreign businessmen, such as executives from Burisma, the Ukrainian energy firm on which he received a board seat. FBI officials pressured social media companies to censor a bombshell report about the meetings from the New York Post released days before the 2020 election, raising concerns that federal law enforcement agencies are working to protect the Biden family.
“The fundamental thing to remember about Hunter Biden is that what he was doing, he was doing on behalf of the family,” Davis continued. “Hunter Biden is not a storied businessman in his own right. The man is a mess and look, I get it, lots of people are messes. We all know messes. But there’s no reason this man should be getting tens of millions of dollars.”
Bickley noted that the American people have been “hearing for months” that the investigations into Hunter Biden are approaching a conclusion. Davis said he would be surprised if meaningful charges were levied against the first son and predicted that the indictment would rely upon a “ticky tack thing, like a gun charge for lying on a form about his drug use.”
With respect to the revelations from the whistleblower, Davis expressed confidence that lawmakers such as Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) would adequately examine the claims, remarking that Grassley especially has a reputation for taking the protection of whistleblowers “really seriously” while leaving no stone unturned.
“He wants to make sure all the laws are followed,” Davis said. “But also he has no tolerance for nonsense from the executive branch.”
Bickley asked Davis about the actions which Grassley and other lawmakers could be expected to take in reaction to the apparent Justice Department retaliation against the whistleblower. He responded that Grassley and Johnson are early in the process of examining the claims but that the lawmakers “generally know where the bodies are buried.”


On Wednesday, Chinese New Year box office achieved yet another new milestone with grosses for the holiday period growing to an estimated RMB 7.78B ($1.2B). This beats the previous all-time high set during the comparable 2019 holiday (RMB 5.9B). China often outdoes itself, but the fact that 2021’s Lunar New Year frame came with Covid capacity restrictions makes the performance even more staggering.
Factors working in the session’s favor included a diverse slate of seven new local titles (including two powerhouses at the top), as well as increased ticket prices in some areas, additional screens versus 2019 and a reduction in travel which made moviegoing the first-choice activity for people who were not journeying to see family as would normally be the case during the holiday.
After setting new records for opening day and opening weekend in a single market (February 12-14), Wanda Pictures’ Detective Chinatown 3 has grossed RMB 3.56B ($551M) through Wednesday. It is not only far and away the top movie of the year globally, but is also nearly 20% bigger than 2020’s top worldwide title, China’s The Eight Hundred — and this after just six days of play, with more to come.
While DC3 led the weekend, Beijing Culture’s time travel comedy Hi, Mom was atop the daily charts from Monday-Wednesday and has grossed RMB 2.73B ($423M). Hi, Mom is projected by Maoyan to top out at RMB 5.28 ($817M), which would make it the No. 2 movie ever in the market. DC3 is eyeing RMB 4.51B ($698M), estimates Maoyan, a 33% local currency increase on the previous installment in the popular franchise.
Overall, there were seven new local movies for the New Year session which rolled out beginning February 12 — the public holiday in China ran from February 11-17, though celebrations continue. Through Wednesday, the titles above are rounded out by A Writer’s Odyssey (RMB 538.2/$83.32M), Boonie Bears: The Wild Life (RMB 407M/$63M), New Gods: Nezha Reborn (RMB240.1M/$37.2M), The Yin Yang Master (RMB 211M/$33M) and Endgame (151M/$23.4M).
Xinhua reports that more than 155M tickets were sold during the New Year frame, up from 130M in 2019. That’s reflective of pent-up demand for big new titles — especially given Detective Chinatown 3 was delayed by a year when Covid shuttered cinemas in early 2020 — and in part reflective of the increased number of screens in the market, which was 75.5K by the end of 2020, compared to just under 70K at end-2019.
China was the first country severely hit by the coronavirus, and implemented strict lockdown measures across the board. After six months of cinema closures, it slowly re-acclimated audiences. That began in July 2020 with some import titles whose releases had been delayed by Covid (think: Dolittle) and library movies like the first Harry Potter and some older Christopher Nolan pics. Once the market was primed, China released The Eight Hundred to huge results last August. Notes an international exec, “What China is showing is that where the virus is under control and people feel safe, they’re coming back (to cinemas) in droves.” We’ve seen some similar phenomena in Korea and Japan, although with more Covid ebbs and flows affecting momentum.
The early estimated RMB 7.78B Chinese New Year period (which also includes holdover play from movies like Disney/Pixar’s Soul), is already 38% of the total box office for 2020 in China. It’s also about 10% of 2020 global box office, 12% of international box office and 55% of domestic box office last year.
For the first month and a half of 2021, China box office has crossed RMB 10B, according to state news media, meaning it’s already more than 50% of 2020’s full gross. The good news out of China hopefully serves as an indicator of recovery that will be seen in other markets as they get back up and running with new product.

Common Urine Tests
Read more on the most common reasons for urine testing.
GlucoseYour urine should not have any glucose in it. If you have glucose in your urine, it may mean you have diabetes.
KetonesYour body makes ketones when it breaks down body fat too quickly to use it as fuel. This can happen when you don’t eat enough carbohydrates to fuel your body. It can also happen if you are diabetic and your insulin level is not right. If you have ketones in your urine, your healthcare provider may ask you more questions or send you for more testing. Please note, it is common to have ketones in your urine if you have not eaten anything for several hours before a test.
BloodYour urine should not have any blood in it. If there is blood in your urine, it likely means you have a urinary tract infection or another problem with your urinary tract.
BilirubinPart of your liver’s job is to break down old red blood cells. A product of red blood cell breakdown is called bilirubin. If your bilirubin levels are too high, it could mean you have a medical condition affecting your liver, gallbladder or bile duct.
ProteinsMany conditions can lead to high protein in your urine, from heart problems to poisoning. If your protein count is too high, you will likely need more lab tests.
HormonesSome hormone levels can be checked using a urine sample. A common reason for a urine test is to detect hormones that are released if you are pregnant.
DrugsMany employers require a urine test before they hire someone. Also, most states require random, periodic testing of people who hold certain licenses, such as a commercial driver’s license (CDL).
Bacteria and other organismsIf you have a urinary tract infection, you likely will have bacteria, parasites or yeast in your urine.

By popular demand, we have also begun to carry several, high quality CBD pet products as well. For general purpose applications, we carry several, tasty tincture and oral spray options that are highly effective. Likewise, Pharma CBD capsules provide CBD purity via capsular ingestion. In addition, we have partnered with Therabis, the quality CBD maker of “Stop the Itch” and “Calm and Quiet”, the pet lovers’ ultimate go-to’s. Find these products by browsing our exclusive online inventory.
That grey area is likely to be clarified soon. Key federal legislators are pushing for industrial hemp legalization to be part of the farm bill that will probably pass in the fall of 2018. In terms of athletics, hemp-derived CBD was removed from the World Anti-Doping Agency’s list of prohibited substances earlier this year. Hemp legalization and more companies targeting athletes should further separate CBD from its cultural association with marijuana.
Cannabis oil also posses antioxidant properties. This property makes cannabis oil useful in the treatment and prevention of wide variety of diseases, such as ischemic, age-related inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Cannabis oil may also have a use as neuroprotectants for such things like limiting neurological damage following a stroke or head trauma. It can also be used in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia.
Nutiva began in 1999 as an idea in the mind of John W. Roulac, the author of four books on home composting and industrial hemp. Nutiva is the third successful business John has founded since jump-starting the modern home-composting movement in the early 1990s with his best-selling book, Backyard Composting. That book has sold more than a million copies worldwide.
The lab also has studied how the chemicals in cannabis, as well as cannabinoids like the anandamide produced by our bodies, protect our brains against various types of insults, such as physical and emotional trauma. “Our brain needs to remember things, of course,” says Guzmán, “but it also needs to forget things—horrific things, unnecessary things. It’s much like the memory in your computer—you have to forget what is not necessary, just like you need to periodically delete old files. And you have to forget what is not good for your mental health—a war, a trauma, an aversive memory of some kind. The cannabinoid system is crucial in helping us push bad memories away.”
Over decades, researchers have found that THC may help treat pain, nausea, loss of appetite and other problems, while CBD was thought to be biologically inactive in humans. But in the past 10 years, scientists have concluded that CBD may be quite useful. Dozens of studies have found evidence that the compound can treat epilepsy as well as a range of other illnesses, including anxiety, schizophrenia, heart disease and cancer.
Cannabidiol is a Schedule II drug in Canada. As such, it is only available with a prescription. It is available as a spray, called Sativex produced by GW Pharmaceuticals in the UK, for use in multiple sclerosis. The Canadian Government announced that October 17, 2018 is the date when marijuana can be consumed recreationally without criminal penalties, indicating that various cannabidiol products will be freely available to adult consumers.
Bonn-Miller also explained that it's imperative to exhaust the traditional and established front-line treatments that are available before seeking out these products. "CBD is not really a first-line treatment for anything," he said. "You don’t want situations where somebody says, 'I have cancer I'm going to forgo chemotherapy because I read something about CBD or THC helping with cancer.'" That's not a good idea, Bonn-Miller said. "Not only is the science not there, but you may end up worse off."
Yes! We ship our CBD oil to over 40 countries including Argentina, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Belize, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Guam, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Antilles, Northern Ireland, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Romania, Russia, Slovenia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, U.S. Virgin Islands, Uruguay, and many others! If you require assistance completing a payment, please contact us.
Just like your method of ingestion, your optimal dose of hemp oil, hemp tincture, or hemp capsules is highly personal. We are not able to make exact dosing recommendations as per FDA regulations, but we generally suggest that you start small, and work your way up to the dose that feels right, especially if you have little experience with full-spectrum hemp oil.
High quality full-spectrum hemp oil is made from the flowers of the hemp plant, not the seeds. To get the most nutrients and whole plant phyto-cannabinoids out of the plant, the hemp must be harvested while the flowers are still very small, requiring a large quantity of plant material. This is why full-spectrum hemp products are typically more expensive than hemp seed oil, but contain a greater number of beneficial compounds and have more far-reaching positive health benefits.
No, hemp oil is not the same as cannabis oil. All-natural hemp oil is obtained by cold pressing of hemp seeds whereas cannabis oil is obtained by separating the resins from cannabis flowers. Their uses and chemical composition are quite different. Cannabis oil is much higher in THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) content, which has certain effects, whereas hemp oil tends to be higher in CBD (cannabidiol) levels.
Word of Caution: Although this list clearly shows that cannabis essential oil can be an effective remedy for many common health conditions, it is still a potent chemical substance extracted from a plant with psychotropic substances. Therefore, you should always be very careful while using such an essential oil, including the amount you use and the conditions under which you use it. Speak to a professional about mixing essential oils and present medications before adding any new elements to your health regimen. Also, the use of cannabis is restricted/banned in many countries, so consult a local health specialist before use.
Pharmacists have since moved to metric measurements, with a drop being rounded to exactly 0.05 mL (50 μL, that is, 20 drops per milliliter) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_(unit)1oz is 30 mL1000mg/30mL = 33.3 mg/mL CBD concentration20 drops * .05 mL/drop = 1mL10 drops * .05 mL/drop = .5mLyou take 33.3 mg in the morning and 16.65mg at nightI might suggest taking 50mg in the morning: 50mg / 33.3 mg/mL = 1.50 mL 30 dropstry it for a couple days and see how it helps
Stephanie, generally, I have patients take 20 to 150mg a day for sleep +/- anxiety. Start low and go slow. Know the dosages of your product. Usually 2/3 to 3/4 of the daily dose is 1-2 hours before bedtime, and the other portion is upon waking (to improve wakefulness during the day). Other factors such as stress, hormone replacement, other meds & medical conditions, etc. play a role along with individual differences. I own a compounding pharmacy, so we see a lot of unique needs. I can't give more specific advice in this forum, but there is help!
Phillip Hague, the chief horticulturist at a Denver cannabis company called Mindful, sniffs the roots of a plant to check on their health. He’s grown cannabis most of his life and has traveled the world researching its many varieties. He’s interested in developing new strains with higher concentrations of marijuana’s lesser known compounds that appear to have medical uses. “Cannabis speaks to me,” he says.
Right now, there’s a good chance that you don’t really know what you’re getting from any source. Testing and labeling rules vary by state, but many states that allow legal cannabis also require some kind of testing to verify that the THC and CBD levels listed on the label are accurate. However, this testing is controversial, and results can vary widely between labs, Jikomes said. A study published in March found measurable variations in test results, with some labs consistently reporting higher or lower levels of cannabinoids than others. There are no guarantees that the label accurately reflects what’s in the product. For a 2015 study published in JAMA, researchers tested 75 products purchased in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle and found that only 17 percent were accurately labeled. More than half of the products contained significantly lower levels of cannabinoids than the label promised, and some of them contained only negligible amounts of the compounds. “We need to come up with ways to confidently verify the composition of cannabis products and make this information available to consumers,” Jikomes said.
Typically, pharmaceutical companies making cannabis-based medicines have sought to isolate individual compounds from the plant. But Mechoulam strongly suspects that in some cases those chemicals would work much better in concert with other compounds found in marijuana. He calls this the entourage effect, and it’s just one of the many cannabis mysteries that he says require further study.

Construction of a Dick Newick Val III trimaran (in French)
Strike 15 off the beach trimaran by Richard Woods
Wavelength 780 trimaran interview with designer Bob Forster
There was then the Route de l’Or on 'Aquitaine Innovation', the terrible 2002 Rhum (which he was the only one in a 60' Orma to finish without stopping) and the adventure of the hydraplane 'Mediatis', aboard which he shattered the 24-hour record (597.8 miles), then that for the flying mile, with top speeds of 42 knots!
2010 Rhum: podium in November, capsize in December
Lalou, aboard 'Région Aquitaine Port Médoc', finished second, behind Lionel Lemonchois, in this meteorologically complex edition. The return delivery trip followed close behind, in December, on an Atlantic Ocean which was still rough thanks to the squally weather. A violent squall at more than 50 knots surprised the crew, which was sailing with full main at a good speed. The trimaran was catapulted head over heels. Everyone was saved, but the multihull was lost, its float crushed by the rescuing cargo ship.
A radical new boat!
Still supported by the region, which sees in him a fantastic talent agitator and a sailor-catalyst for skills transfer between the nautical industry and regional companies in the avionics sector, Lalou is currently working on the construction of a latest generation Multi50'. At the rule's minimum weight limit (3t), the machine should be a flyer! In his favourite boatyard at Grayan L’hopital (Strato Compo), a few kilometres from his base in Port Medoc, Lalou Roucayrol has brought together a dream team, whose main players are Romaric Neyhousser (architect and former crew member on 'Banque Pop'), Guillaume Verdier, Benjamin Muil (all 3 working on the design), with Thierry Eluère conducting the construction. The project's key words, beyond the stated sporting ambition, are: collective spirit – a wish to pass on and train, transversality and skill-sharing. The first months of the winter were above all used to adapt the boatyard to the new demands of this type of construction, and to organise a turnkey construction process for possible sister ships.
MW: How is the construction coming on?
Lalou: Work on the tooling has taken a lot of time, today 40% of the boat's parts have been completed, we are taking the sides of the central hull out of the moulds, but don't want to settle too early on the underwater lines of the floats, which are special (their shape generates lift).
MW: When is the launch date?
Lalou: During the second half of November: we are envisaging a classic crane launch, but also using a helicopter, if the navy allows the use of a Puma from the helicopter carrier AQUITAINE (which will be in our waters at the time).
MW: Can you reveal a few little secrets of its design and construction?
Lalou: Thierry Eluère's extraordinary skills in the field of composites (PRB, SAFRAN, MEDIATIS…) is an added value which we rely on…in addition to a build quality which we want to be exemplary, we are taking advantage of innovative development partnerships. Just 2 examples: our bulkheads are epoxy bonded, but with fillet joints laminated in methacrylate, from AEC Polymères. They offer mechanical qualities and a flexibility/user hygiene which interests us (product available in cartridges). We are also taking advantage of a paint system which will allow us to plot the forces and structural deformations in real time, by the colour code!
MW: What will the diary for the end of 2012 and 2013 be?
Lalou: After the first tests in our front garden, the Gironde, we will be setting up the training base in the Canaries and would like to do this trip as a fleet, with one or two Multi50s; 'Axa atout cœur' already seems to be interested. We will then be taking part in all the spring events (Tour de Belle Ile, Armen Race, Trophée SNSM) and those on the Multi50 circuit, to finish with the Transat Jacques Vabre, two-up with Quentin Vlamynck.
MW: Your adventures are always full of meaning, how do you define your new role?
Lalou: I feel like the heir to the tradition of the end of the 19th/beginning of the 20th century, when people like Bordes launched some real racing boats, such as the 138-metre, 5-masted France II. To fulfil their part of the contract, they often covered 300-350 miles a day. I like the link with what we are doing today. We build the machine, perfect it, choose and train the men whilst committing ourselves, accepting our share of the risk. I find this kind of relationship with the sponsors is healthier...and we remain masters of our own fate.
MW: You are leaving to deliver 'Axa atout cœur', to take Erik Nigon's Multi50 trimaran to the start of Quebec-St Malo; what meaning is there in this project?
Lalou: In parallel with the development of a very fast Multi50, and the organisation of the programme, there is a stage dedicated to the transfer of technical knowledge, which we hope will lead to the creation of a real ocean racing centre. The aim of entering two boats in the 2014 Rhum is achievable. This transat, in race preparation-delivery mode, will be with Maiëul Riffet and Fred Palacio, who have been with me for a long time; its aim is to prepare the young Quentin Vlamynck (20, who we selected this winter) for the Route du Café, which we will be racing together.
MW: Bravo for this nice project! To finish, news of the Multi50', the MOD 70s and the America's Cup in multihulls?
Lalou: I believe in the future of the Multi50', the class is now mature, capable of bringing together 8 to 13 boats at each event. The investments remain reasonable and the sporting nature of the class doesn't prohibit creativity. There is no reason why the future big events can't integrate the MOD 70s with the Multi 50s; this would optimise the media spin-offs, and be profitable for both. I've followed the preliminary regattas for the America's Cup, in AC 45s – I would love to try one! Those sail plans are fantastic, even though the hulls still remain quite traditional; these extraordinary machines are perfectly suited to their programme and are capable of providing excitement for the spectators. My architects are working with the New Zealanders on certain parts of an AC 72' (top secret, of course)! l

Phooey. All you need, at least to start, is a pencil, a notebook, and the ability to tell a story in pictures. Look at the artwork in some of the most popular comics ever: Dilbert, for example, or Charlie Brown. The imagery has been stripped to the bare minimum, but expression, character, and plot come through intensely even with minimalist drawing. That's what Brunetti presents, in this outline for a 15-week course in cartooning. Various exercises show how to make use of tiny distinctions in marks, or to explore the world of ideas and assemble its found objects into works of art.
When it comes to the cartoonist's tools, Brunetti emphasizes that only the very best will do - and the one tool that matter's is the creative mind. Musicians play scales, athletes exercise, and actors rehearse. How could anyone think that visual storytelling could demand any less of its practitioners? Get ready for some hard work, not in creating works of wit or beauty, but in building yourself up to be the person who can.
But this is not the same, and that's absolutely a good thing. If you are interested in comics enough to be looking at this, you will probably enjoy this book. It's a syllabus, and a lesson plan, and it's entirely worth reading whether you intend to learn and practice, or whether you're just interested in the comics form.
Brunetti's introduction, plan, and suggestions are clearly words spoken from someone who has refined their approach to comics over a long time. The words are at times thoughtful and funny, and the examples and plans are well organized.
I do not draw. I read a fair amount of comics, and as a very basic self-guided study, Cartooning is a great entry-course whether you're going to use it as a jumping-off point for creating, or simply to look a little harder at what goes into making comics as unique as they are.
Another of Brunetti's books, Aesthetics: a Memoir has a lot of examples similar to those used in this book. It's a very fine companion piece to see more of what Brunetti describes in terms of approach and result.

Food Security continues to be a significant issue in Palestine, particularly in Gaza. In 2012, more than 70 percent of households were either food insecure or vulnerable to food insecurity. Food insecurity in Gaza means that people are unable to buy or produce enough food. Soaad, the sole earner in a family of nine, is baking breat using WFP fortified wheat flour donated by the European Commission. She says her family used to live in much better conditions, but when her husband fell ill he had to give up his job. That is when she decided to apply for WFP food rations.
Soaad’s daughter, 21-year-old Shereen, finished her secondary education four years ago but poverty prevented her from pursuing a higher degree. However, Shereen still hopes that one day she will be able to attend university. For now though she assists her mother with the daily house chores. With the help of WFP’s food ration she can bake bread for her daughters and younger sisters. Thanks to a generous donations from the European Commission Aid and Civil Protection Department (ECHO) and other donors, WFP has so far assisted close to 330,000 people monthly in Palestine in 2012 and 2013.
Mazen is 50 years old and was the main breadwinner in his large family of 13 members. Though, his poor health left him without a job and totally dependent on WFP food assistance. He prepares falafel sandwiches for his grandchildren using his WFP ration; the chickpeas for preparing the paste, the vegetable oil for deep frying the falafel and the wheat flour for baking the bread.
Suhaila lifts up her granddaughter Soheir. Suhaila is a 49-year-old housewife whose husband is unable to work because of an illness. A total of 10 family members live in this small house in Gaza. “Thank God we receive WFP food assistance and we get wheat flour to ensure we have enough food to feed the family,” she says.
Majed, Suhaila’s grandson gets quite excited when he sees his grandmother coming home with the WFP ration. He especially recognizes the bag of wheat flour; the ECHO-donated 50 kg sack means his grandmother will bake him ‘manaqeesh’ (traditional bread with herbs).
Rania, an 18-year-old newlywed, bakes bread using the wheat flour her family receives as part of their ration. Rania's husband is jobless at the moment, but they both remain optimistic about the future. In 2012, the unemployment rate in Gaza was 31 percent mainly as a result of the ongoing blockade, which is the biggest obstacle for economic growth in Gaza.

German artist Magnus Plessen new exhibition at the White Cube follows on from his earliest show ‘1914’ which was influenced by Ernest Friedrich’s anti-war book War Against War whose graphic photographs revealed the horrific realities of the battlefield and showed bodies maimed by automatic weapons. In this new exhibition this dislocation of body parts is still a running theme with his figurative and abstract work presenting the human form as disjointed, unashamedly 2D and with limbs, heads and eyes breaking all the rules as regards compositional and spatial relationships.
The drawn out, scraped back colour of these paintings still convey the disembodied, hollowed out atmosphere of the ‘1914’ battlefields. With the oils saturated to the point they almost have a watercolour-like feel in parts, the harsh lateral brushwork removes all semblance of beauty from the work and flattens the figures. Without a three dimensional element you are left with the aesthetics of representation, not the reality. And that representation is gloomy, bordering on the ghoulish. There are unannounced bursts of saturated colour but then again there are also fried eggs and vases. This theme runs frequently – as if an ironic play on still life
The cut-out of body parts such as eyes, which randomly appear anywhere give them a ghoulish, frankenstein feel. 3D form is only found in the uncompromisingly pink-hued naked figures in the centre ground, positioned to draw the eye yet still moored in Plessen’s signature – an uneasy, straight-edged scaffold of abstraction around these figures. You’ll notice there is wooden board or fencing in the background of each one, here marked and intentional as a device to hold the composition. It reminds the viewer in an uncompromising way that there are rules that exist to be broken even where you have set a compositional standard.
Summing up, if Ernest Friedrich’s anti-war book was so impactful because it stripped away the glory of war by showing stark, undoctored photos, this exhibition will make you consider the traditional beautification of art in general and the human figure in particular. The uncomfortable shadows we like to keep hidden are often the most impactful.

8/14 - BYOND 333 seems to have fixed the problem with DS crashing for some hosts at the end of games. If you have had this problem, please be sure to upgrade to 333.
8/9 - Games where the players' rating difference is greater than 400 will not have the ratings updated to the hub. This is a necessary evil, but since there would be zero risk for the lower rated person, with much to gain, few should complain.

Globalization & Law Network seminar with Simona Demková
How is the EU developing and implementing a human-centered approach to the regulation of digital technologies? On 30 January 2024, the Globalization & Law Network had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Simona Demková, Assistant Professor in EU law at Leiden University. During the seminar, Simona presented her project focused on the EU’s human-centered digital transformation and funded by the Leiden University Starting Grant. Valentina Golunova led the discussion.
The main focus of Simona’s research revolves around the conflict between two mindsets: the technological mindset centred on data and algorithms, and the legal mindset concerned with concepts like rights and obligations. To illustrate how the EU aims to reconcile these mindsets, Simona provided an overview of legislative initiatives in the digital sector, with particular emphasis on the AI Act. She stressed that a human-centred vision of digitalization should not be equated to a purely rights-based approach. Instead, Simona emphasized the core principles of creating and operating trustworthy AI tools, which are firmly rooted in EU constitutional law. In examining how human-centred digitalization is operationalized in the EU, Simona highlighted the significance of obligations for providers and deployers of high-risk AI systems, fundamental rights impact assessments, and transparency requirements. At the same time, she also pointed out remaining gaps, such as exceptions for law enforcement and limited redress mechanisms.
Simona’s valuable insights set the stage for a rich discussion with the audience, who provided interesting perspectives on the role of fundamental rights and good administration in regulating digitalization and the tensions between various legal instruments dealing with cutting-edge technologies.

Lynn Harris has a good blog post about the California ballot propositions that are an assault on gay people and teenage girls. Proposition 8, of course, is an attempt to ban gay marriage and force already married couples to lose their marriages against their will. Proposition 4 is another attempt to force underage girls to bear children against their will. The obsession on the right with forcing teenage girls in particular to bear children against their will should be a horrifying reminder of how depraved people can get in service of maintaining traditional social hierarchies. Right wingers have felt the loss of the mid-20th century baby mills for childless couples called “maternity homes” deeply, and would love to see a return. It’s a satisfying idea from a certain perspective—look up teenage girls who got caught fucking, take their babies and give them to childless couples. You get to reward the worthy married couples with babies and punish the girls for fucking. That they system treats baby making like it’s prison labor probably only sweetens the deal. Parental interference laws like Proposition 4 have to be understood in light of this fantasy. The hope is to re-establish the idea that pregnant teenagers are their parents’ property to dispose of as they see fit, and anti-choice groups have already established a funding and organization system that can easily be turned into the disposal valves for such girls if abortion is banned completely. (Currently, most teenage girls who abort do it with their parents’ blessing, which makes perfect sense if you’re a reasonable-minded adult.)
What’s interesting is that the anti-choice movement is trying to spin Proposition 4 as a law to protect teenagers from violence and injury, calling it “Sarah’s Law”. Obviously the idea is that people hear this nickname and think, “Gosh, some girl name Sarah had something bad happen to her because of legal abortion.” In other words, it’s 100% bullshit. Actually, 110% bullshit. It’s off the charts bullshit.
Supporters want you to hear the sobering story of ‘Sarah,’ a 15-year-old girl who didn’t tell her parents she was pregnant and then died after an abortion. Except” — according to the Mercury News — “‘Sarah’ didn’t live in California. She lived in Texas and was considered married under Texas law [a common-law marriage, I believe], so any parental notification law wouldn’t have applied to her. And her name isn’t Sarah, it’s Jamie Garcia Yanez-Villegas. Most telling of all, her tragic death took place in 1994. That means when Proposition 4 backers went looking for a story to illustrate the need for a parental notification law, they couldn’t find a better example in the past decade.” Or in white people.
Awesome! By the way, I love Texas laws that openly regard teenage girls as property to be transferred from parents to husband. I had a classmate in high school who was married, and her husband signed her permission slips. It was so weird.
The levels of deception are numerous, but not the least of these is the idea that legal and safe abortion is somehow more of a danger to teenage girls than the likely alternative: coat hangers, knitting needles, drinking heavily and throwing yourself down the stairs, douching with bleach, or any of the ingenious ways that women have injured or killed themselves in the process of trying to terminate a pregnancy because they didn’t know anyone with the skills to do it for them. Teenagers are particularly vulnerable populations when they don’t have legal access to abortion, because they don’t have the social networks to find an underground practitioner who knows what she’s doing, and will therefore resort to attempting self-abortion.
What’s interesting about the “Sarah’s Law” spin, however, is it’s part of the larger anti-choice trend of moving away from maudlin fetus worship and instead trying to argue that they only want to restrict women’s rights to help women. The argument is that abortion has to be banned for women’s own good, and the premise of the argument is an essentialist error—the idea is that because women can have children, that’s their main function in the world and a woman who rejects gestating right now is like a duck who won’t swim. Something must be broken, and the “cure” is to force childbirth on her in hopes that will set her right. I address those myths in this video.
What I fail to understand is how this is supposed to be good P.R. With teenagers, people are more inclined to think, okay, their rights should be restricted for their own protection. But I just don’t see your average American being so paternalistic on this front. Even the most hoary sexists you encounter tend to object to abortion rights because they see it as an assault on men’s ownership rights over women or grouse that it’s unfair that women “get” to have abortions but men don’t, as if it’s like a walk in the park. But they don’t tend to think of women as incapable of knowing what they really want, and trust that a woman seeking abortion knows what she’s doing. And most “pro-lifers” are more entranced by their own fantasy of the fetus, idealized as the perfect people because they’re brainless and silent and you can project whatever you want onto them. (In this sense, they’re like the animal rights people who drift into misanthropy and specifically misogyny, with fear and loathing of women as imperfect, fleshy beings with minds and wills. Think: PETA.) The idea that women are “victims” of abortion is an afterthought for them. Really, there’s just not widespread social support for the idea that women are so incredibly stupid that they don’t know what they’re doing when they get abortions, so I can’t imagine that it’s a P.R. move for the anti-choicers.
I’m increasingly convinced it’s a legal maneuvering, actually. Fetal rights has been a dead end way to approach this issue for 35 years now, because the arguments in Roe make the most sense—that fetuses are not babies, but gain rights the more baby-like they become. There’s just no way to get around the biological reality that a woman is a person in a much more solid sense than embryonic tissue that hasn’t really taken much in the way of a solid form is, and so it’s a joke to suggest especially that a first trimester fetus has competing rights with the flesh-and-blood woman who has a mind and a life that is real. Even anti-choicers grasp this, because all the bloody fetus pictures they use are from later term abortions that are primarily done out of medical necessity. Because, to be blunt, showing pictures of what you get from the most common first trimester abortions is good pro-choice propaganda, because it shows people there’s not enough there to get worked up about.
Anyway, it’s a dead end. So I think this “abortion hurts women” maneuvering is a way to create a new legal argument that would get around even discussing the fetus. I’m working on a piece for RH Reality Check about this; hopefully I’ll have better formed thoughts to direct you to soon.

Over all of the drama of the last few years, one constant face upon our television sets and social media timelines has been the First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon. Whether it be a new Brexit deal, the government implementing the latest policy or even a Scottish national sport team winning (or losing), the various broadcast networks will turn their cameras to document the reaction of the devolved leader of Scotland. So why when the equivalent happens in Wales, there is no great rush, or indeed sometimes no attempt, to afford the same treatment to the First Minister of Wales, Mark Drakeford.
Yes the population of Scotland is two million more than that of Wales and, yes, the profile of Scotland’s leadership was inevitably boosted by the failed bid for independence in 2014 but the public profile of Welsh politicians has never been lower. The latest Welsh Political Barometer poll revealed that an astonishing 50% of participants didn’t know who Mark Drakeford was. This rises to 65% who didn’t know Adam Price and a quite incredible 76% who are in the dark about Paul Davies, the Welsh Conservative leader. That three quarters of the respondents didn’t know who the effective Leader of the Opposition in Wales was is surely a damning verdict of how well the Assembly has been able to reach out to the people it serves.
A recent tweet also compared the Twitter followings, somewhat depressingly the modern-day measuring tool of engagement, of Sturgeon and Drakeford. The comparisons are startling; Sturgeon basking in the glory of just over a million followers whereas the First Minister of Wales’ account has limped to just over 48,000. Again to assume that Twitter followings are the standard methodology for testing how successful the Senedd is at engaging its citizens would be ludicrous but the online engagement of both leaders is rather telling.
As with most problems, the response cannot merely be prescribed to a single party. The national coverage of the Welsh Assembly is broad at best; non-existent at worse. In fact as I write this, the BBC rolling news coverage has just reached out to Drakeford to offer his opinion on the Brexit deal negotiated last week. The deal was announced at 11:00 in the morning; the First Minister of Wales made his first nationwide comment on it at 16:00. For comparison, the reaction of his Scottish counterpart, the leader of the DUP and the foreign minister of Ireland were broadcast hours before Wales was mentioned.
Beyond Wales, the national media has to be responsible for promoting the work that the Senedd does to a greater degree than currently exists. It may be that one of the primary reasons that the Senedd is effectively ignored by national media is that the perception of the parliament is that it possesses very little legislative power in comparison to Scotland. Perhaps that is time to change.

Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) that most often affect the lungs. Tuberculosis is curable and preventable. TB is spread from person to person through the air. When people with lung TB cough, sneeze or spit, they propel the TB germs into the air. A person needs to inhale only a few of these germs to become infected.In terms of research annually, USA, Europe, India, Germany and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to Tuberculosis are being carried out.

This post is super late…but better late than never, I guess?!
Have you ever spent NYE on a plane? I can now officially say I rang in 2019 while hurtling through the sky, over the Atlantic Ocean, en route to Lisbon. It was pretty surreal crossing through time zones while friends and family celebrated back home. The Aer Lingus flight attendants were adorable with their jovial party hats, and the Captain came over the loudspeaker at midnight to wish us all a happy new year. The atmosphere on the flight was festive, and our excitement was only amplified by the fact that we were hours away from exploring a new country.
I feel like I describe every place I visit as being “a dream”, but it’s often the first thing that comes to mind. Portugal truly was a romantic, charming, picturesque, sunny dream. Lisbon was built on seven hills, and my legs definitely started to feel the burn after a few hours of walking around. But that’s exactly what Lisbon is: an alluring, walkable city with steep staircases, narrow alleyways, and twists and turns that take you to unexpected places. And those are my favorite kinds of cities. It also didn’t hurt that the sunsets were gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the locals were friendly and welcoming. If you have the chance to visit Portugal, do it. And after you book your flights (or if you already have!), check out my travel guide below.
Organi Chiado: This vegan restaurant impressed us so much that we returned for a second meal a few days later. Their menu changes daily, but they always use fresh ingredients, and their unique dishes are packed with flavor. My first meal was the most memorable, complete with carrot pistachio soup, an incredible chickpea burger, and arroz doce (rice pudding). Give this place a shot, even if you’re an omnivore.
AO26 Vegan Project: Service was admittedly slow here, but the food was great. We started off with a roasted vegetable salad and split the mushroom asparagus risotto entree. It was so rich and creamy…you’d never know it was vegan.
Flower Power: I had no idea how delicious sardines in tomato sauce were until we had lunch at Flower Power. I still can’t look at sardines when I’m eating them, because the tiny bones gross me out, but they taste divine! We also devoured a plate of olives, tuna salad, and gazpacho with crusty bread.
Juicy Lisboa: Yet another restaurant we visited more than once! Juicy Lisboa advertises healthy, sustainable, plant-based dishes, and they definitely deliver. Their hummus was amazing, served with homemade flatbread crisps (so freakin’ tasty!). We also loved their green juice and carrot ginger apple juice.
The Food For Real: This cozy little cafe was a true gem. They serve smoothies, juices, salads, crepes, and Brazilian food, and they have a large variety of vegan and gluten-free options. The employees were really sweet, and they helped us navigate the menu. We split a tapioca crepe (pictured to the right) loaded with eggplant, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and tomato sauce, as well as a gluten-free flour crepe filled with creamy guacamole. Both were served with hearty salads, overflowing with nuts and seeds. I think this was the most unique meal we had in Lisbon.
Time Out Market: Have you ever explored a new city and stumbled upon an unexpected treasure? That’s how we discovered Time Out Market. We were originally trying to locate A Vida Portugesa. I wanted to buy a few souvenirs for friends and family, so we followed the GPS…and wandered into a magical food court. Time Out Market has almost everything you can imagine. Sushi, pizza, burgers, seafood, dry-cured meats, charcuterie boards, ice cream, pastries, chocolates, wine, beer, and more. We decided on sushi and splurged on a cone of salty prosciutto afterwards. Don’t forget to check out the art vendors before you leave!
Fábrica da Nata: If you‘re a fan of sugary sweets, you’ll love pasteis de nata. These custard cream tarts are sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered sugar, and they basically melt in your mouth. Our hotel was just a few steps away from Fabrica de Nata, so we visited on a daily basis to grab an espresso and indulge our sweet tooth. I also had my first codfish cake here, and oh. my. god. Imagine a fried, savory pastry filled with salted cod, potatoes, onion, parsley, and other spices. That was definitely my favorite Portuguese staple.
Piriquita II: We explored Sintra on our last day in Portugal, and our pit stop at Piriquita II was a glowing highlight of our time there. We tried a handful of different pastries (in fact, we left with an overflowing box of them), but my absolute favorite was the traversseiro. These puff pastries are served warm and filled with almond cream. They’re like sweet, delectable clouds from heaven. Seriously drool-worthy.
CAFES & BARS
Delirium Cafe: We stopped here for a brew after dinner one evening, and it was awesome. It was reminiscent of an eclectic dive bar, complete with pool tables in the back and a huge selection of drinks. Very casual, and the staff was really friendly.
THINGS TO DO
Watch the sunset from a miradouro. Imagine a scenic viewpoint over a hill with benches to relax on, stunning panoramas to admire, and colorful tiles for days. Mirodouros are really popular around Lisbon, and there are several of them. We stumbled upon many by accident while wandering the narrow streets and steep staircases of the city. On one particularly lovely evening, we indulged in Portugese wine and watched the sun descend over the city. You can find a list of mirodouros here.
Walk around LXFactory. LXFactory is a redeveloped industrial site that houses art studios, design offices, local shops, and delicious restaurants. We browsed a massive bookstore, a retro barber shop, and several different market stalls with eccentric items and fashionable clothing. My favorite stop was Landeau Chocolate, where I had the most heavenly slice of chocolate cake and a warm mug of earl grey tea.
Ride in a tuk tuk. I didn’t expect to encounter tuk tuks in Portugal, but the three-wheeled motorcycle taxis were all over Lisbon! They’re expensive, so I don’t suggest using them for frequent transportation, but they’re really fun for a ride or two. We used one to venture up to a mirodouro one night, and it was a (very bumpy) blast.
Take the train to Sintra. This was probably my favorite experience in Portugal. Sintra was absolutely magical, filled with huge palaces, ancient castles, and breathtaking scenery. It only took an hour to get there from Lisbon on the train, but the vibe of Sintra was completely different. It’s much smaller, super quaint, and entrenched in mountains. While there, we toured Pena Palace, walked around Castelo dos Mouros, and ate delicious pastries at Casa Piriquita. There are several different places in Portugal you can easily reach on the train, but I highly recommend Sintra for a day trip.
Check out Torre de Belém. Considered “an architectural jewel of the region” and one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal, Belém Tower was built as part of the Tagus River’s defense system in the late 15th century. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We didn’t tour the inside of the tower because the line was long and it was windy and freezing outside, but it was truly a sight to behold.
And Padrão dos Descobrimentos. I absolutely adored this monument, which is just a short walk from Belém Tower. It was originally constructed for the 1940 World Fair in celebration of Portuguese explorers and visionaries that established Portugal as an omnipotent seafaring nation. In 1960, it was rebuilt to mark 500 years since the death of Prince Henry the Navigator, who initiated the Age of Discovery. Just look at the detail in this masterpiece!
Explore São Jorge Castle. We saw the most gorgeous sunset from this castle, which towers majestically over Lisbon. Walking around Castelo de São Jorge was a surreal experience, as the impenetrable walls, fortresses, watchtowers and courtyards mentally transported me to a completely different time. If you’re a history buff, you’ll love this experience.
View the city from Tram 28. We didn’t actually ride the infamous yellow tram, but we took several photos while we were in the Alfama District. This unique mode of transportation dates back to the 1930s and is still in use today. (Fun fact: Modern trams can’t actually fit through the narrow streets and tight turns of this route.) If you want a thorough tour of the capital, take a full ride on the tram and admire the Graca, Alfama, Baixa, and Estrela districts.
Wander around the Alfama District. If cobblestone streets, historic buildings, stunning views, and eccentric crafts are your thing, you’ll love the Alfama District. This is one of Lisbon’s oldest areas, and its streets are lined with local shops and cafes. Check out Miradouro das Portas do Sol for an incredible sunset, Lisbon Cathedral (which is the oldest church in the city), Thieves Fair (Lisbon’s most famous flea market), and Miradouro da Senhora do Monte for a breathtaking view of the city. This is also where you can find Castelo de São Jorge and Tram 28.
Shop around A Vida Portuguesa. The local goods in this shop had me drooling. I wanted to buy everything. If you’re looking for souvenirs for friends and family (or yourself, I won’t judge), check this place out. They have snacks, journals, lotions, soaps, books, ceramics, jewelry, and more. Speaking of souvenirs…if you’re a seafood fan, pick up a few tin cans of sardines before you fly home. They’re way better in Portugal than they are in the United States, I’ve since discovered. I never thought I’d be a woman who ate canned sardines, but Portugal apparently changed me.

I have a £2000 budget for a gaming PC. I play BF3,GTA, Crysis 2, WoW etc. I also photoshop a lot.
My current idea is
Asus Rampage IC Extreme motherboard
i7 3930k (because it is LGA 2011)
GF GTX 680
HAF X case
H100 cooling system
I was wondering if I can change my CPU etc. I will be gaming mainly and probably keeping this PC for at least 4-5 years - I guess I want to future proof it. What do you guys think?
