Most of the fun cooking these things is coming up with a sauce. I had lots of fun today. Started with a cup of chicken stock, poured in some sesame oil, about a tablespoon. I have some tamarind paste that has been skulking in the refrigerator door for months. I scooped about two tablespoons into the mix. Added half a tablespoon of ginger root paste. A few dried red peppers. Hmm…need some corn starch, two tablespoons ought to do it. A splash of dark soy sauce, maybe a tablespoon. Two tablespoons of hoisin sauce. Maybe some Splenda for sweetness? Yup…maybe two tablespoons. Ah, some dry sherry, another glug added. OK, simmer for a bit, set aside. It’ll be the last thing to go into the pan. I’ll let the pictures do the rest.

"Highly recommend Todd. I've been elsewhere and it doesn't compare. Todd carries hearing aids from numerous companies, not just a few. I found him to be very knowledgeable, helpful and service-oriented. I cannot believe the vast improvement over my previous hearing aid! Thanks, Todd!"
– Anonymous, 1-17-2019
Wow! What a big difference in my hearing and your hearing aids did the trick! I was on my way to being deaf, but thanks to Todd and Karen, I really hear good now. Sounds I never heard before are now clear as a bell. Thanks so much!
– Shirley Mattheisen, Marshfield
" My new hearing aids gave me my life back! They have been wonderful right from the start
– Teresa Lindemann, Neillsville
"After wearing hearing aids for 20 years, I know that service is everything. I stopped at The Hearing House to ask some questions and after talking to Todd and Karen, seeing the equipment and getting my answers, I knew I was in the right place. My new hearing aids are great and so is the service!"
– Dick DeJarlais, Marshfield
"I bought my hearing aids in 2008. I went back several times trying to get them adjusted right. The aids just didn't do what I thought they should. Then I went to The Hearing House…and what a difference! He was able to adjust my hearing aids! Todd and Karen are tops in my book! I've heard people say that hearing aids don't work, well, Todd knows how to make them work!"
– David Lingford, Auburndale
"I put off hearing better for a long time. I had my hearing tested a couple of times but nothing compared to the hearing test at The Hearing House. Extremely professional and thorough, yet relaxed and friendly. I wear my new aid all of the time. I should have invested in one a long time ago!"
– Shawn Schuster, Marshfield

Development of FlexTrateTM and Demonstration of Flexible Heterogeneously Integrated Low Form-factor Wireless Multi-channel Surface Electromyography (sEMG) Device
- Author(s): Alam, Arsalan
- Advisor(s): Iyer, Subramanian Srikantes
- et al.
Leading-edge implantable applications such as neural implanted prosthetics and next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) devices require the integration of high performance and low power logic, memory and sensors at high interconnect density which is not possible using conventional printed flexible electronics. As flexible applications mature, there will be a demand that they are “smart,” which will require leading edge CMOS and RF electronics, advanced sensors, and power management. There is a need to develop a robust and flexible electronics packaging platform that will enable the unrestricted integration of high-performance, state-of-the-art components (processors, memories, sensors, data transmitters and receivers, power sources etc.) on biocompatible, flexible substrates with the ability to miniaturize, interconnect at high density with acceptable reliability, and scale-up in manufacturing at economical and cost-effective price points. Considering all the above requirements, in this work, the development of a highly flexible and reliable heterogeneous integration platform with fine interconnect pitch (≤ 40 �m) called FlexTrateTM is investigated. The fabrication and assembly processes necessary for such a platform are developed. FlexTrateTM is based on a die-first flexible Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging (FOWLP) approach where Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is used as a molding compound to embed the heterogeneous dies and integrate them with mechanically robust vertically corrugated interconnects at 20-40 �m pad pitches without the use of solder. FlexTrateTM is demonstrated to be bendable to 1 mm bending radius for thousands of bending cycles with minimal degradation in the system’s electrical performance. The benefits to system performance and flexibility of FlexTrateTM-style integration are highlighted through three demonstrations: 200 dies integrated at 40 �m pad pitches, a foldable display, and a wearable biosensing system in the form of wireless multi-channel surface electromyography (sEMG) system. The sEMG system can be attached to the skin to record quality muscle signals through dry electrodes and can transmit data to a computer or smartphone via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The ability to acquire muscle signals through our device in a mobile setting is critical for the study of many muscular physiological phenomena and disorders.


With the Audi TT RS Roadster, the German Brand’s compact sports car has come a long way. When the model first appeared it was more of a styling exercise than a performance car. Over time the TT has moved away from being little more than a re-bodied VW Golf and now with the TT RS it is a proper performance car.
Audi has two tiers to the performance range of cars. The S models are highly specified versions of the standard car with all the luxuries and performance you are likely to ever need. The RS models are re-engineered to create a car that is as fast and capable as possible. For example, the 5-cylinder engine produces close to 400 bhp so, despite the slightly porky weight, the TT RS has performance figures to shame some supercars.
The handling is much improved over previous TTs. A supremely capable all-wheel-drive chassis makes the TT RS Roadster easy to drive fast down a winding road. The steering is direct and decisive, cornering flat through the fastest of bends. It may not have Porsche precision but it is hugely confidence inspiring. In the Audi tradition, the TT RS is secure and predictable at speed rather than offering delicacy and tactile driver feedback.
As you may expect, the TT RS has a beautifully finished sporting interior that is very pleasant to be in. The 12.3in Virtual Cockpit full LCD instrument display is great for driver control though pushes out the passenger from fiddling with the hi-fi or navigation.
Depending on how you option your Audi TT RS Roadster, it can be either a flashy statement car or a subtle Q-car avoiding unwanted attention.

In the bustling streets of New York City, amidst the chaos and clamor, there exists a haunting tale of a woman who became an enigma in death, her name etched into the annals of history – Evelyn McHale. Known as the “Most Beautiful Suicide,” her tragic end captivated the world, leaving behind a legacy shrouded in mystery and fascination.
Crisp Spring Morning in 1947,
On a crisp spring morning in 1947, the city awoke to a scene that would forever be etched into its collective memory. Evelyn McHale, a young and strikingly beautiful woman, plummeted to her death from the 86th floor observation deck of the Empire State Building. But it wasn’t merely her death that captured attention; it was the eerie serenity of her final moments, immortalized in a photograph that would become iconic.
Lying amidst the twisted wreckage of a limousine, Evelyn appeared almost peacefully asleep, her face unmarred by the tragedy that befell her. The juxtaposition of her delicate form against the mangled metal was jarring, prompting many to question the circumstances surrounding her death and the emotions that led her to such a drastic end.
Born in Berkeley
Evelyn McHale was not just a statistic; she was a woman with dreams, desires, and complexities that elude easy explanation. Born in Berkeley, California, she possessed an adventurous spirit and an artistic soul. Yet, like many young women of her time, she found herself swept up in the whirlwind of World War II, working as a bookkeeper while her fiancé served in the Navy.
It was during this tumultuous period that Evelyn’s life took a tragic turn. The strains of war, coupled with personal struggles, weighed heavily on her psyche, leading to a deep sense of despair. In the aftermath of her death, speculation ran rampant – was it heartbreak, mental illness, or simply the overwhelming pressures of life in post-war America that drove her to take such a drastic step?
Figure of Fascination,
Despite the passage of time, Evelyn McHale remains a figure of fascination, her story serving as a poignant reminder of the fragility of the human spirit. In death, she achieved a form of immortality, her image forever frozen in time, a symbol of beauty, tragedy, and the complex depths of the human experience.
But perhaps what is most striking about Evelyn’s story is not the sensationalism that surrounds it, but rather the universal truths it reveals. In a world that often seems chaotic and unforgiving, her story reminds us of the importance of empathy, compassion, and understanding. Behind every headline, every statistic, lies a human being with hopes and fears, dreams and disappointments – a truth that Evelyn McHale’s tragic tale forces us to confront.
As we reflect on her life and legacy, let us not dwell solely on the circumstances of her death, but rather on the richness of her existence – the laughter she shared, the dreams she chased, and the love she held dear. In doing so, we honor not only Evelyn McHale but all those who have grappled with the darkness within and found themselves searching for solace in a world that can sometimes seem indifferent to their struggles.
Evelyn McHale’s story serves as a poignant reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is hope to be found – if only we have the courage to reach out and grasp it. And though she may have fallen from the sky on that fateful day in 1947, her spirit endures, a testament to the resilience of the human heart and the enduring power of the human spirit.

ALL eyes will be on new Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos when, or whenever he returns to the country to take charge of his first match, which happens to be in the crunch World Cup qualifiers in September.
The 69-year-old has been away in his native Belgium to receive his second Covid-19 vaccination and missed the friendly match against Uganda, as well as the recently concluded Cosafa Cup, which Bafana won.
Broos’ second assistant Helman “Midnight Express” Mkhalele and Morena Ramoreboli held the fort impressively in the former Cameroon coach’s absence and that of his first assistant, Cedomir Janevski.
Janevski has also been missing in action ever since he tested positive for the deadly virus on the eve of Bafana’s friendly against the Cranes of Uganda last month.
The pair will return to take charge of the team for the upcoming Qatar World Cup qualifiers, which kick off with a tough clash against neighbours Zimbabwe on 1 September.
They will take over a Bafana team that is high in confidence having gone unbeaten in their last seven matches, albeit with different players from those considered regulars.
But could this be a welcome headache for Broos and his team?
He might be tempted to retain a number of the new faces that impressed in the Cosafa Cup. The likes of Siyethemba Sithebe, Veli Mothwa, Victor Letsoalo, Rushine De Reuck, Ethan Brooks, Njabulo Ngcobo and Yusuf Maart all did their chances of retaining their places no harm.
Ramoreboli, who managed to get the best out of these players, believes they have given Broos food for thought as he prepares to take charge of his first match.
“The future is clearly bright for South African football. There are players who caught the eye that were not even part of the initial camp. I think I counted close to 13 players who made their debuts in the Cosafa Cup,” said Ramoreboli.
“This simply means coach Broos has enough players to pick from when he takes over. This will give him a chance to look at all the players, and it will be easy to see who is ready for Bafana. These players were put to the test mentally.
“Their character was also tested and they came out with flying colours.”

I want you to stop letting me go I want you to go to Paris Saint-Germain
Randal Kolomuani (24, Eintracht Frankfurt) once again strongly appealed his will and will while he wanted to move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). In the end, some even predicted that players will begin to use it as a “last resort” to push for a transfer.
Kolomuani said on the 30th (Korea Standard Time), “I hope Frankfurt will let me move to PSG now,” adding, “I think I have always done my best since joining last year.” He captivated the hearts of fans and acted professionally. I supported everything,” he said.
This is not the first time Colomuani, who wants to move to PSG this summer, has publicly expressed his intention. Earlier this month, he told senior Frankfurt officials, “I want to leave this summer. “I hope you accept the transfer,” he said.
There is a good reason why Colomuani has publicly announced his position twice this much. Although he is seeking a transfer by receiving a “love call” from PSG, he is facing difficulties as Frankfurt has repeatedly refused to negotiate the transfer as much as 100 million euros (about 143.5 billion won) as a transfer fee. In response, he once again strongly appealed his intention at a time when the transfer market deadline is just around the corner.
Kolomuani said, “We have a transfer offer from PSG. This opportunity is really special, and I don’t think it’ll ever happen again. “I really want to transfer this summer,” he said. “I hope this transfer will be possible as Frankfurt accepts the offer.”
Finally, the local community predicted that Colomuani would start a slowdown to join PSG this summer. In fact, as he has been absent from training since Wednesday, it is predicted that he will not participate in the upcoming UEFA Europa Conference playoffs.
French-born Kolomuani is an all-weather striker who has excellent scoring ability and is good at penetrating from behind based on his fast feet. It is evaluated that post-play and aerial ball competition are excellent due to its strong physical conditions as well as ability to link off-the-ball movements.
In fact, he played in Nantes, where he made his professional debut, receiving a full-fledged opportunity to play from the 2020-2021 season, and scored 23 goals and 16 assists in 81 official games in two seasons. Last season, he moved to Frankfurt, where he played 46 games in all tournaments, scoring 23 goals and 17 assists.
Kolomuani participated in the 2022 FIFA Qatar World Cup as a member of the French national soccer team. Initially, he was not on the final list, but Christopher Nkunku (25, Chelsea) was injured during training and was lucky to be selected as a substitute. He scored one goal and one assist in three appearances 토토사이트
Colomuani, who became famous in recent years, immediately received a “love call” from big clubs. In fact, it has been connected to Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Chelsea since January. And this summer, he is actively courted by PSG and is pushing for a transfer. He has already reached a personal agreement. If the transfer fee is negotiated, it is expected that he will be able to join immediately

A tentative gas lease deal that could upend New York's moratorium on shale gas drilling is going back to the drawing board.
On March 28, Houston-based eCorp International LLC and Southern Tier Energy Partners, a landowners group representing about 2,000 landowners and 135,000 acres in Tioga County, announced they had reached a memorandum of understanding and were in the process of negotiating a lease agreement.
The two parties released an outline of their proposed leasing arrangement in April, but eCorp CEO James Thrash said on Monday this plan did not "find agreement among a consensus of the stakeholders."
The plan would have required landowners to forgo bonus payments and accept a relatively-low 12.5 percent royalty rate, in exchange for part-ownership of 13 independent operating companies that would be set up to control gas development in 13 different swaths of Tioga County.
"After greater in-depth analysis of the original conceptions," Thrash said, "we felt that the preliminary notion of incorporating a landowner-owned company might prove too complex and cumbersome."
The tentative agreement in March sent ripples of debate statewide due to eCorp's stated intention to use liquefied petroleum gas -- rather than large volumes of water -- to unlock natural gas trapped inside the Marcellus and Utica shale formations, which would circumvent New York's four-year hold on high-volume hydraulic fracturing.
Since then, several meetings between the company and landowners have been held in Tioga and Broome counties to discuss those plans.
In Monday's announcement, the company said current and projected low natural gas prices render shale gas drilling "marginally economic" under typical lease agreements -- a problem the parties sought to work around by giving landowners a financial stake in the drilling.
Still, Thrash said the company is committed to finalizing a deal.
"We will continue to attempt to craft an approach that will be streamlined, understandable, and afford greater flexibility to those considering selecting eCORP as the operator working their land," he said, "and hope to be back with a new and more workable concept in the near future."
Nick Schoonover, leader of the Tioga County landowners group, did not respond to phone and e-mail requests for comment Tuesday.
The group's attorney, Chris Denton, referred questions to Schoonover.
New York's moratorium on high-volume, hydraulic fracturing has been in place since 2008 due to the state Department of Environmental Conservation's ongoing review of the environmental impact of the technique, used to release oil and gas trapped in tightly-packed shale formations.
Because the impact review applies to the fracturing of wells using large volumes of water, fracturing using liquefied petroleum gas is not subject to moratorium.
However, environmental groups have expressed concerns about potential petroleum gas drilling in recent weeks and DEC spokeswoman Emily DeSantis has said applications for drilling permits proposing to use the technique "may require additional review and additional analysis."

Financial flows, macro-prudential policies, capital restrictions and institutions: what do gravity equations tell us?
Jean-Charles Bricongne (),

Working papers from Banque de France
This paper analyzes the impact on financial flows of institutional factors promoting financial integration such as European integration or trying to tame them such as capital control or macro-prudential policies. We use a detailed database of bilateral financial assets and construct gravity models, for foreign direct investment, portfolio flows and other investments. Capital control policies have limited and disparate effects, being particularly effective through restrictions on inward flows for destination countries. The impacts of macro-prudential measures are complex, with macro-prudential measures in the origin country financial sector having a positive impact on outward capital flows and macroprudential measures in destination countries having a negative impact on inward capital flows. European integration has played a positive role on financial flows. We also emphasize the benefits of cooperation between the origin and destination countries, both for capital control and macro-prudential measures.

Pros and Cons of Private Medicare Advantage Plans
Who should take advantage of these all-in-one senior health care plans?
Private Medicare Advantage plans can be a good deal for seniors looking for all-in-one medical and drug coverage. There are three types of policies -- Medicare HMOs, which charge the lowest premiums but impose the most restrictions on which doctors and hospitals you can use; regional preferred-provider organizations, which offer discounts if you use in-network doctors and hospitals; and private fee-for-service plans, which let you use any doctor or hospital that accepts the plan’s terms.
Medicare Advantage plans may charge lower premiums than you’d pay for Medicare plus a medigap policy and Part D prescription-drug coverage. But you could end up paying higher out-of-pocket costs throughout the year.
Some Medicare Advantage plans charge higher co-payments for big-ticket items such as hospitalization, or for critical services such as chemotherapy. Or they might not pay for the first 20 days in a skilled-nursing facility (which traditional Medicare covers). In addition, a plan may provide limited coverage if you travel out of state.
Instead of simply responding to a sales pitch from an insurance agent or to an ad, check all of the Medicare options in your area. Compare plans using the Medicare Options Compare tool at Medicare.gov/mppf, looking at both premiums and total estimated costs for people like yourself.

Perhaps the stuff of fantasy. Until now.
The Woburn-based firm Terrafugia, (Latin for "escape the earth") is turning fantasy into reality with its Transitional Roadable Aircraft.
And, Lawrence Municipal Airport had a role in the development of the aircraft, called the "Transition."
The firm has been conducting tests on the Transition at Lawrence Municipal Airport.
"We've been doing high-speed taxi testing," said Cliff Allen, a veteran pilot and Terrafugia's vice president for sales.
The Transition got up to 90 mph, minus its folding wings, he said.
"We took the wings off it, we didn't want it to fly," Allen said.
He said taxi and ground testing are nearing an end, and actual flight testing is expected to begin within the next two months in upstate New York.
Some later flight testing may be done at Lawrence Airport, he said.
"We'll start pretty rigorous flight testing that should take us through the summer into next fall," Allen said. "And if all goes according to plan, the company should be able to start shipping production models early next year."
The prototype, with its rear-mounted pusher propellor will make its debut at the 2012 New York International Auto Show April 6 through 15 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center.
"One of the reasons for going to the New York International Auto Show is to put it in front of an audience and gauge the interest," Allen said.
"We are marketing it as an airplane. It is an airplane that is street legal," Allen said.
The two-seater has a maximum airspeed of 120 knots and has a price tag of $279,000.
It has a maximum range of 450 air miles and a range of 600 miles at 35 miles per gallon, when used as an automobile.

Diablo Immortal will launch with native voice chat transcription and text-to-speech
Diablo Immortal it’s hell, literally, but playing it doesn’t have to be. Ahead of the game’s June 2 release date, the Diablo The Blizzard team talked about some of the accessibility features they’ve built in Diablo Immortal make a hell that works for everyone.
Controller support was something really important to bring to Diablo Immortal.
“You can play Diablo Immortal with controllers on both mobile and PC,” Blizzard wrote in its accessibility blog. “Many controls – including skills, chat access, etc. – can be remapped from the controller tab in the settings menu.”
In addition to controller support, Blizzard is also sending Diablo Immortal is testing a Razer Kishi controller that turns your phone into a Switch or Steam Deck-like device. While Blizzard is sending us a controller peripheral for testing as part of the review process, the developer said the option “is not intended to induce or encourage controller play – touchscreen, controller, mouse, and keyboard etc. are all super viable options.”
One of the notable features that Andrew Webster reported in his pre-alpha coverage of ID was that the game, at the time, did not include controller support. This meant that he controlled the game via his iPad’s on-screen buttons. It’s not the most comfortable situation for a large iPad or a small phone, which makes mobile controller support almost mandatory for a game like Diablo Immortal.
Chat with Friends is another feature designed to be as accessible as possible, with native voice chat transcription and text-to-speech capabilities. Here are some videos of the two in action.
The surprise addition of PC support was, in itself, a choice made in part for accessibility reasons.
In an interview with The edge, Diablo franchise general manager Rod Fergusson said “it’s important that Diablo Immortal reach as many players as possible.
Of course, this move is also colored by the initial backlash against Blizzard releasing a free-to-play mobile game with a microtransaction-packed cash store. But according to lead game designer Joe Grubb, who also took part in the interview, “it was [also] really an accessibility option,” so people could play on larger, more visible screens, with keyboards that could be remapped to meet gamers’ needs.
Diablo Immortal will launch on iOS, Android, and PC in open beta on June 2.

Did you say Horizons? Yes, we did. The former home to the legendary attraction is gearing up for it’s World Discovery makeover. With the D23 Expo in the rearview mirror, we learned a lot about the overall updates coming to the front Epcot. In the second part of our four-part series we’re digging the World Discovery neighborhood. Rocket aka trash Panda is waiting to give us his tour, let’s discover what’s coming to the neighborhood!
Mapping It Out
How else are we going to find our way around the neighborhood? As we discussed in our World Nature article, the Future World portion of Epcot is being transformed into three new neighborhoods. Work on the World Discovery neighborhood kicked-off in late August of 2017 with the closing of Ellen’s Energy Adventure to make way for the Guardians of the Galaxy.
The World Discovery neighborhood will consist of the following attractions, Test Track, Mission Space, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the Play Pavilion. As well as the new Space restaurant. Small in overall size, the World Discovery neighborhood is definitely not small in experience.
Passholder Insights: A great way to get multiple rides on Test Track is with the single rider line. With two rows of three seats, the single rider line moves very quickly.
Out Of The World Dining
Space ice cream anyone? At the D23 Expo, Bob Chapek peeled back the layers to reveal more about the new space restaurant attached to Mission Space. Top the list is the confirmed name of the sit-down restaurant, Space 220. Drawing from the restaurant’s overall themeing, guests will dine 220 miles above Earth.
Opening this winter, guests will be blasted 220 into space where the transporter docks with a space station. Walking into the stations guest will have grand views of the galaxy through large “windows”. These “windows” are the same technology on the Disney Cruise Ships and soon to be Star Wars Resort, which creates the feeling of different outside environments.
Passholder Insights: Space 220 will be operated by the same restaurant group that operates Morimoto Asia, as well as Via Napoli.
Flip And Reverse It
Ride vehicle that it. World Discovery announcements were centered around names. We’ve have a name for the new Guardians of the Galaxy coaster coming to the neighborhood, Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind. The well-suited name was not the big news about the coaster. Thanks to Bob, we learned about the most interesting aspects of the new ride, the reverse launch. That’s right, hold on your everything, you will be “rewound” from the get-go with the coaster launching up the initial hill facing backward.
The question we have in the DVC Duo house is whether or not the cars would spin on the way up the hill or at the peak. We’re hedging our bets they will rotate at the top of the attractions. With the cars designed to keep your eyes on the action by using controlled rotation, it would make sense some type of rotation would occur early on. For now, we’ll have to speculate until the attraction opens in 2021.
Passholder Insights: Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind will be the longest indoor roller coaster in the world.
Character interactions galore! Within World Discovery the area that is still a mystery is the new PLAY! Pavilion. Situated between Mission Space and the Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind, the PLAY! Pavilion will be a digital metropolis. We’re thinking something similar to the look and feel of the scene from Wreck Breaks the Internet, where Ralph and Vanellope arrive at the “internet”.
From the D23 Expo, we got a glimpse of what’s coming in time for the 50th anniversary. A couple of the attractions will include helping Edna Mode rid the world of poor fashion choices, as well as interactive water-balloon fight with Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby. What really caught our attention is connecting with Disney characters both real and virtual. Could the new PLAY! Pavilion be the first time we see Disney use augmented reality (AR) in the parks? With Bob Iger previously saying AR is a better direction than virtual reality (VR), it leads us to believe the PLAY! Pavilion would be an application of this type of technology. This is just speculation for now and we should find out more in the months ahead.
Passholder Insights: During the Food and Wine Festival you’ll find Remy dancing the night away by the stage outside the PLAY! Pavilion.
Subtle themeing done well! World Discovery encompasses everything within the neighborhood. Guests will discover how cars are created and tested, what it’s like to travel through space, and everything technology has to offer. For us, World Discovery is the closest thing to Future World of all the new areas. You know us, we’re excited about the new Space 220 restaurant coming to the area. We’re projecting this restaurant will be a hidden gem within the Epcot. We’ve got a lot more discovery to do before we see the final neighborhood. Your new home is looking solid Rocket!
Don't Miss A Beat!
What's happening in the "world?" From Disney news and rumors to our favorite travel tips and insights, and of course food reviews! Keep your fingers on the pulse.

Sony’s racing exclusive finally arrives on PS4, with some of the best graphics on the console, but is it a better game than Forza Motorsport 7?
The one thing you can’t accuse developer Polyphony Digital of doing is rushing things. It’s been four years since the last Gran Turismo game, and that was on the PlayStation 3. This is the first of the series to appear on Sony’s current console and yet it’s not even a numbered sequel. And while it is more than the extended Prologue style demo that some feared, there is still a serious issue with a lack of content. Which is frustrating, as it’s one of the only faults in what is essentially a soft reboot for the franchise.
Of course, GT Sport is going to end up being judged not only on its own merits but how it compares to Forza Motorsport 7. In a sense that’s irrelevant because they’re both first party exclusives on their own consoles, but the rivalry between the two series is clearly a point of pride for both fans and the companies themselves. Especially when Forza is going to be so important to Microsoft’s promotion of the Xbox One X.
But in many ways it’s an almost irrelevant comparison, as many of Forza Motorsport 7’s greatest strengths are GT Sport’s most notable weaknesses, and vice versa. As a result we’re almost tempted to say that both sides should just be happy to know they’ve produced a top class driving game, but the fans at least will never leave it at that.
The official line from Polyphony Digital is that this is the first in a second generation of Gran Turismo games, so there may in fact never be a Gran Turismo 7. Whether that turns out to be just marketing talk only time will tell, but the basic set-up is largely the same as always, with the main three modes being Arcade, Sports, and Campaign. Although there’s been considerable controversy over the fact that only Arcade mode can be played offline, and even then it doesn’t save your progress, but since the focus of the game is online play you’d be missing out either way.
But it’s not really the modes which are the heart of the series’ appeal, and what’s most exciting about having Gran Turismo back is the handling. As good as Forza has gotten recently, GT Sport’s driving model is still the best in the business. It’s that rarest of all things: a compromise that pleases everyone. It’s more accessible than Project CARS and the Codemasters games, and yet the feeling of weight and balance is wonderfully nuanced and appropriately different for every car. And it all works perfectly well even with an ordinary DualShock controller.
That’s something the series has always got right, but one of its long-standing flaws is its frustratingly robotic artificial intelligence. And yet despite the emphasis on online racing the computer racers are by far the most convincing they’ve ever been. Not the best in the genre by any stretch, but certainly not the embarrassment they’ve been in previous years.
In terms of graphics though there are absolutely no complaints, with exquisitely detailed cars and tracks. Although what caught our eye the most was the HDR lighting, which is probably the most effective use of the technology we’ve ever seen. But even without that this is one of the best-looking games on the PlayStation 4. Importantly though, this is also the game that finally sorts out the series’ infamously poor sound design, an improvement that is even more pronounced than the artificial intelligence.
Despite all this, GT Sport also has some very obvious failings. It has barely more than a tenth of the 1,200 cars from Gran Turismo 6, and with just 40 tracks it has less than half of what was available four years ago. There’s also no longer any dynamic day/night cycle, and only a very limited weather system.
The smaller range of vehicles means that the focus of the campaign is no longer on filling your garage with hundreds of cars, but on proving, and improving, your skills as a driver. Rather than a grind to unlock the next car the focus is on teaching and testing, with so many tutorials and options that at times it almost feels like an edutainment title. Although that’s not going to appeal to everyone and there is a lack of other more traditional single-player content.
This does at least get you ready for online play, which the game takes deadly seriously. GT Sport may be more accessible than Project CARS 2 but this is absolutely not an arcade racer. Penalties for hitting another player are ruthlessly enforced and if anything the online feels even more like a simulation than the single-player. Although online championships aren’t available at launch, which again severely limits the variety of things you can do and makes the game seem only half finished.
The PlayStation VR mode is also very limited, and still no more than a separate tech demo. Sony are promising a steady stream of updates and additions for all the content issues, but there’s no getting away from the fact that this feels like a bare bones release. But if it is only the foundations for the future of the series, then at least they seem reassuringly solid. The perfect framework, hopefully, with which to drive the franchise forward in the future.
Gran Turismo Sport
In Short: Arguably the best Gran Turismo ever in terms of the driving, and definitely in terms of the graphics, but a lack of content keeps it from getting up to top speed.
Pros: The best handling model outside of a hardcore racer and amazing graphics and attention to detail. Significant improvements to AI and sound design.
Cons: Some serious content issues, with too few online modes and a radically smaller number of cars and tracks compared to previous games. The whole game is virtually online-only.

With predictions that sales will reach $85 Billion by 2026 (source: Forrester), retail media networks are rapidly assuming a pivotal role in the grocery industry, with an increasing number of food retailers either entering the space or adding to existing digital offerings via E-commerce sites or mobile loyalty apps with a goal of driving pre-shop consideration and online sales.
With the growth of retail media being driven by fast-growing interest by CPGs in reaching shoppers through the channel, retailers are turning their attention to expanding digital advertising solutions in-store. The key reason, as per a recent article by Insider Intelligence is “in-store retail media offers massive audiences that are an average of 70% larger than digital audiences for leading brick-and-mortar retailers”.
In-Store Retail Media Options Are Exploding
* Kroger is testing smart screens in its cooler section which can display advertisements and promotions.
* Many retailers are adding video screens in aisles, endcaps, and self-checkout lines.
* Smart carts, from companies such as Veeve Inc., originally introduced as a checkout solution are evolving into retail media hubs pushing information and offers to shoppers depending on where they are in the store.
In the digitally enabled grocery store, retailers will be able to improve shopper experiences while pushing valuable, personalized product offers to shoppers as they move up and down aisles driving impulse purchases and shopping cart size.
Bottomline – retail media networks are fast becoming an integral part of the digital media mix, especially, as more CPGs are demanding a ROI (eg. sales conversion) for digital advertising spends from their media and shopper marketing agencies. For me there are two things to watch:
1. Will CPGs increase overall digital media spend or start shifting above-the-line advertising budgets to retail media networks?
2. A key challenge for retailers will need to ensure they do not bombard grocery shoppers with too many ads to the point where they start to detract from the shopping experience.
Until next time, thanks for reading.

Kelly Osbourne manicure: she wore $250,000 polish
Kelly Osbourne wore a $250,000 manicure to the Emmys, on September 23. That’s the price of a house in some countries. The look, the price offended people.
There are kids starving in the world, while Kelly wears a $250,000 manicure for a night. She could feed a whole city with that manicure.
“I see that my nail polish has offended some of you. However I see your point, but it was a once in a lifetime experience. #MyApologies”, she wrote on Twitter on Wednesday, September 26. “Please forgive me for not regretting it. It made me feel like a queen!”, she added.
Kelly apologizes but she says she wasn’t sorry? She didn’t have to apologize in that case. What’s with all these stars saying bad things and apologizing with words they don’t believe in?
And one more thing. The manicure made Kelly feel like a queen. That money would have made 1,000 kids forget about starving.
The 27-year-old Fashion Police host wore the polish created by jeweler Azature at the Emmy Awards. The manicure consisted of 267-carats of black diamond. Kelly insisted she didn’t pay for the manicure. “I was just lucky enough to be the one that got picked to wear it”, she explained.
Our wonder now: who’s paying that much for a manicure?

Angel of Mons
One of the earliest and best known legends associated with trench life in the First World War is that known as the "Angel of Mons". The "Angel" was reputed to have appeared in the sky during the British retreat from Mons during August 1914, and to have safeguarded the withdrawal. This legend grew from a short story by Arthur Machen, published in the Evening Post of 29 September 1914.

Sarah Szanton named Johns Hopkins School of Nursing dean
Image caption:Sarah Szanton
Sarah Szanton—a prominent gerontologist, expert in health equity and social justice, and alumna and longtime faculty member of the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing—has been appointed as the next Hopkins Nursing dean. Her term will begin Aug. 25.
Originally a member of the School of Nursing Dean Search Committee, Szanton stepped down after the committee decided that in addition to a strong pool of external candidates, talented individuals from within the school should be considered. Szanton went through the same interview process with university leaders as other finalists for the position.
She succeeds Patricia Davidson, who served as dean of the School of Nursing from 2013 to 2021, when she was named vice-chancellor of the University of Wollongong in her native Australia. Longtime nursing Executive Dean Marie Nolan has served as interim dean since Davidson's departure in April.

Just over a month after legendary Detroit Country Day boys basketball coach Kurt Keener announced that he would not becoming back to the program after 35 years, his good friend and colleague, coach Nate Oats of Romulus has also moved on to new pastures.
After 11 years with Romulus and winning his first-ever state title this last March, Oats started his new job at the University of Buffalo on Monday this week. However, the decision did not come without difficulty.
"We did have to do a lot of work," Oats said about his time at Romulus. "We definitely poured our lives into this thing the last 11 years."
Making the decision to leave Romulus back in April, Oats has plenty of time to break the news in the terms that he wanted to his players and administration as he prepared to finish up his remaining months on staff at Romulus. Oats eventually let his team know he was leaving in early May, after the team banquet.
"That way, it gave them about a month to kind of transition," Oats said. "I still did a lot of stuff to help the transition."
Oats mentioned that former junior varsity coach Jarret Smith has been named interm head coach in his departure.
Oats originally had no plans to leave Romulus after winning the state title but the move that Buffalo made to bring in former NBA player Bobby Hurley in as head coach really caught Oats' attention.
"Bobby Hurley, the whole Hurley family, that was something I definitely had to look at," Oats said. "... I ended up talking to Bobby for about 20 minutes on the phone and then I kind of had an interview with him at the final four. I then came out here shortly after to visit the place and that is when we verbally committed that I would come out."
In the last six years, Romulus had either been ranked No. 1 in the state or making an appearance in the final four in Class A. Oats became a respected figure of high school basketball and became known as one of the best coaches in the Metro Detroit area due to his continued success and development of NCAA Division 1-caliber players.
"Just with the history of Michigan basketball, I feel honored to be talked about that like that," Oats said. "There have been a lot of great coaches and, just to be in the same conversation with some of them, it feels great.
"I just feel fortunate more than anything, to be honest with you."

The main functions of the stem are to provide support for plant leaves, transport minerals and water from the soil and carry sugar or glucose made in the leaves to other plant parts. Plants can have herbaceous or woody stems.
Herbaceous stems are typically green and pliable, while woody stems have an outer covering called bark. Another difference is that a herbaceous stem has notch-like structures for leaf development, and a woody stem has small apertures that are necessary for transpiration.
Plants also consist of other important parts, such as the roots, leaves, flowers and seeds. Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves, while the roots remain underground and take in water and nutrients from the soil.

An Office Carol
21 Jul 2022
Clayton Potter, Tyler Caplinger
Ashley Stinnett, James Holley, Tyler Caplinger
The short film- An office carol celebrates the Christmas festivities but with a slight twist which proves to be beneficial for the protagonist Eric Stephens (Ashley Stinnett). Director Kevin Adkins along with the writers Clayton Potter and Tyler Caplinger attempts to wrap important life lessons with the element of comedy so that the audience does not miss out on the entertainment and thus increase the degree of engagement with the content.
The plot of the cinematic piece revolves around an executive visiting the branch office on the day of the Christmas party for an evaluation. He encounters the ghosts of the past, present, and future. They convince him that maybe there is more to Christmas than he thought.
The Christmas decoration along with the music in the background and the photographs gives an insight into the making of the film so that the viewers get excited about what the makers have promised to deliver to them. The camera pans slowly into the high-rise buildings and has connotations that even the beautiful city of West Virginia wants to calm down and enjoy the festival. The loud commentary on the Radio in the car builds a contrast between the happy vibes and the monotonous and workaholic nature of Eric Stephens. The mid and close-up shots of the conversations between characters help the viewers understand and incorporate the key message of the movie into their lives and learn from it. The office carol manages to balance the Christmas colour palette as well as the pastel colours and lighting to bring out the essence of the subject matter of the creative piece. The office set-up is intelligently utilized to intensify the drama as the narrative moves closer to its climax.
In terms of performance, Ashley Stinnett plays Eric Stephens who only cares about work and money. Stinnett perfectly conveys this rigid and dull lifestyle through dialogues, voice modulations, the body language, and facial expressions. The actor uses anger to justify the rules Stephens has made in his head in regards to an office.
James Holley plays the role of Clark Fredrick who is head of the branch Eric Stephens visits for work purposes. He gives the central character advice and also adds some comic moments so that the audience remains emotionally invested in the story. Holley uses the Christmas cap, alcohol, and family ties to add layers to the character of Clark Fredrick.
The short film-An Office Carol states the importance of working hard but also tells the audience about how crucial it is to have fun too. There should be a healthy mix of professional as well as personal life. This office drama reiterates the fact that working all the time will make people lonely and boring similar to a machine. The cinematic piece educates the viewers regarding the necessity of taking decisions which are required to be taken as it contributes to the success stories of the firm but it is vital to care for the human resource working for the company too.

Cayman Islands financial delegation positive after Europe visit
A Ministry of Financial Services delegation from the Cayman Islands, led by the Minister André Ebanks, has announced that their recent meetings with European Union representatives went well.
The key outcomes of the meetings were the exchange of policy updates on anti-money laundering (AML), tax cooperation and industry sectors, as well as the forging of deeper, proactive engagement with European stakeholders.
“The visit to Brussels, from 12-16 June, yielded informative insights on EU positions and policies on matters of mutual importance,” Minister Ebanks said.
Discussions also focused on the June FATF Plenary and the EU AML listing; virtual assets regulation; sustainable finance; and the enforcement of Russian sanctions.
Government’s financial services representative, Gene DaCosta, and senior legislative advisor to the Department for International Tax Cooperation, Karen Stephen-Dalton participated with the minister in the meetings that were held both in person and virtually.
The delegation met with a wide range of representatives, including: Benjamin Angel, director-general; and Anna Manitara, policy officer, of the Taxation and Customs Union; Alexander Jour-Schröder, deputy director-general of the Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Market Union; Gints Freimanis, member of the Cabinet of the executive vice president; Valdis Dombrovskis and Peter Kerstens, advisors for Financial Sector Digitalisation and Cybersecurity; Maria José Garde, chair of the Code of Conduct Group on Business Taxation; Andreas Strub and Andreas Provo, Economic and Financial Affairs Council.
They also met with a number of EU member state representatives from Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands and Malta.
The delegation also discussed enhancing collaboration on policy development and future initiatives with the UK Crown Dependencies representatives. Hosted by the Channel Islands in their Brussels office, the delegation met with Rebecca Millar, head of Channel Islands Brussels Office; Tom Le Feuvre, director of Global Markets and International Agreements of the Government of Jersey; Mike Vercnocke, head of Isle of Man Brussels Office; and other officers and advisors from the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.
Minister Ebanks then travelled to Paris to join Attorney General Samuel Bulgin, KC, at the Financial Action Task Force plenary, held from 19 to 23 June.
“During the Plenary, the attorney general and I will speak before the Financial Action Task Force, as part of the process for FATF removing the Cayman Islands from the list of jurisdictions being monitored for anti-money laundering deficiencies,” he said.
“Our country has come a long way, having satisfied 62 of 63 Recommended Actions toward this goal, and we will present our substantive progress in satisfying the last remaining action.”

Director reveals why he thought that it wasn’t the right time to do it
The High School Musical trilogy was hugely successful and recently, director Kenny Ortega explained why he didn’t make Ryan openly gay in the movies.
Ryan, who was played by Lucas Grabeel was gay, but Ortega was worried that during those times, Disney might not accept an openly gay character in a children’s movie. The first movie came out in 2006, with the second and third movies releasing in 2007 and 2008.
“He’s probably going to come out in college”
Ryan was Sharpay’s twin brother and the makers just decided that he will probably come out openly in college. They focused more on letting him reveal his inner self instead of putting emphasis on the gay factor.
When he was quizzed on making the character openly gay, Ortega said that he honestly didn’t think about it at that time. He still emphasised that Disney was the most progressive group of people he had ever worked with, but it always gave importance to kids and family, and during those times, it didn’t seem like they were ready to cross that line.
If you think about it, movies always had gay or trans characters but they were just there. They were not given the representation that media is giving them today.
Ortega, being a gay man himself never gave emphasis on Ryan’s sexuality, but didn’t really hide what sort of a person he was either. He left him as he was, and knew that some people would identify with him, feel what sort of a person he was, and that was exactly what happened.
The franchise had 3 movies and a Disney + spinoff series was released in 2019, with a whole new cast.

I am a researcher in Hanoi. My Name is Lee H., 47 Years old. I am so proud the situation in my country is getting better.
COVID-19 disease in South Vietnam is decreasing. Of course, we have a problem with COVID-19 as in other countries, most of my people realized that. We were trying but struggling to adapt to the situation in our life. Our social distancing was implemented so well. Our people were staying at home. I thought that is why people attacked by COVID-19 decrease and decrease.
However, we are still worried if COVID-19 comes again and spread some more. This thing has caused people’s income to change to be lower than before. Our government is mainly supporting the poor people or the jobless. In each district, the local government always has efforts to find and record how many people are hungry and jobless, then giving them some food.
I live in district Thạnh Xuân. People here generally work in factories. Since COVID-19 came up in about the middle of March, people were reducing their activities outside. Firstly, about 1000 people were checked their health by Military Hospital and Public Hospital in Provinsi Long An. Recently more than 5000 people have been checked. The number of victims infected by COVID-19 is less than 3000. Our government still trying to cure people infected.
Me and my family we are free from COVID-19. I do not know about my neighbours but the best way for me is to stay at home. My work in my office is canceled. We prefer to avoid the possibility of being infected by the virus than work. I do not know what I have to write anymore.

There have been “significant” layoffs at Seegrid, a Pittsburgh-based developer of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). Jim Rock, CEO of Seegrid, said about 90 employees were let go. The Robot Report has also seen multiple now-former employees post about the layoffs on LinkedIn. One of them said the layoffs were part of a company restructuring.
According to this Form D filing, Seegrid is also in the middle of raising a $75 million equity round of funding. It has already closed $30 million. According to Crunchbase, Seegrid has raised $107 million since it was founded, including the $30 million from this latest equity round.
It should be noted that Seegrid filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late 2014. At the time, it listed $48.7 million in outstanding liabilities, according to court documents. Nearly $15 million of Seegrid’s secured debt was owed to its largest shareholder at the time, which was grocer Giant Eagle Inc., which owned nearly 32% of Seegrid at that time.
Seegrid, which was founded in 2003, has a variety of models in its Palion portfolio, including Lift AMRs, the Tow Tractor and Pallet Truck AMR. In June 2021, Seegrid launched support for a Robots as a Service (RaaS) subscription model. In addition to the RaaS model, Seegrid will continue to offer its customers options to purchase equipment outright, as well as various leasing models.
In April 2022, Seegrid said Sumitomo Drive Technologies selected its AMRs for its expanding manufacturing operations. The power transmission component manufacturer chose Seegrid’s Palion AMR fleet and Fleet Central enterprise software to support autonomous hauling of parts and equipment between its existing 250,000 assembly facility and its new 100,000 square foot warehouse. The initial Seegrid Palion Tow Tractor workflow was 3,000 feet round trip, running up to 30-40 times per day.
Seegrid in October 2020 acquired LiDAR startup Box Robotics. At the time of the deal, Seegrid said the acquisition will help it advance its vision-guided robots for safe materials handling.
Seegrid is the latest robotics company to be hit by layoffs. The Robot Report learned just yesterday that Perceptive Automata, a Boston-based developer of human behavior understanding AI for autonomous vehicles and robots, recently shut down. According to co-founder and CTO Sam Anthony, Perceptive Automata went “kablooey” after it failed to close Series B funding. In July, a number of companies cut staff, including Argo AI, Nuro, Pudu Robotics, and Starship Technologies. And DoorDash announced it is shutting down Chowbotics just 18 months after acquiring the business.

There are many positional battles and lineup combinations that are possible for the Mets going into the 2014 season but one player that has a stranglehold on his position both in the field and in the lineup it is Daniel Murphy. Murphy will be the Mets starting second baseman entering the season and he will very likely be the number two hitter in the Mets lineup. Murphy has cemented himself in both spots with his play over the past few years.
Murphy began his Mets career as a player without a defensive position but after his move to second base after failed experiments in the corner outfield positions and first base he has settled in nicely at second base. Murphy will never become a gold glove caliber second baseman, but watching him play every day he is not a defensive liability at second. The added bonus is that, while he is a productive hitter, he does not hit with very much power, so his bat projects much more favorably at second than it would in the outfield or at first where power numbers are much more important.
Murphy had his most productive season at the plate in 2013 from a run producing standpoint, hitting 13 homers and driving in 78 runs while batting .286, only four points lower than his career .290 average. He also set a career high in hits with 188, which was second in the National League last year. Although he has a well deserved reputation as a poor base runner, he does make some head scratching decisions on the base paths from time to time, Murphy lead the National League in stolen base percentage last season when he was successful in over 88% of his stolen base attempts and finished seventh in steals with 23.
The 28 year old Murphy is a fan favorite amongst the Orange and Blue faithful, something that can be attributed to his undeniable hustle. Murphy is not a perfect player by any stretch, he has a WAR below 2 each of the last two seasons as the Mets every day second baseman, but watching him play the game every day he seems like a player who should have a rating higher than that.

Essex: Service to protect children from abuse is improving
AN early report has offered fresh hope that a failing service to look after children and young people in Essex has turned a corner.
For three years running Essex County Council’s children’s services have been rated as among the worst in the country by the government watchdog Ofsted.
But an unannounced inspection has revealed that authority’s efforts to keep thousands of youngsters safe from paedophiles, abuse and neglect are improving.
Ofsted, the government office responsible for inspecting and assessing children’s services, published its initial findings on Friday.
The report will contribute to the annual review of the council’s children’s services, for which Ofsted will award a rating later this year.
In its last review, published in December, the authority scored the lowest possible grade and was judged to be “inadequate”.
During the unannounced inspection, carried out on March 16 and 17, inspectors looked at a range of evidence, including the quality of work carried out by social workers and other staff to reduce child abuse and neglect.
- 1 4 inspirational women are celebrated in Newport
- 2 Home county tenant exodus drives up London rents
- 3 Met Office weather: Yellow storm and flood warning for East of England
- 4 Hands-on archaeology, beacons and picnics: Platinum Jubilee
- 5 Obituary: On-call firefighter dedicated life to community
- 6 Iceland offers over 60s discount on shopping bill every week
- 7 Free lunch, free fun and circus for Queen's Platinum Jubilee
- 8 Voting together: Lib Dems and Greens join forces
- 9 Silent auction, live music, collection: Ukraine support
- 10 Queen, Alicia Keys and Diana Ross to star in BBC's Platinum Jubilee Party
The report stated that new policies put in place by the council had “assisted staff to raise standards from a low base and have resulted in improvements in the quality of services delivered to children and families.”
It added that most referrals to social care were “appropriate” and that “children at risk of immediate harm are protected by Section 47 enquiries which are timely, undertaken by suitably qualified and experienced social workers and supported by effective management decisions.”
Essex County councillor for children’s services, Sarah Candy, said: “I am pleased the findings of the Ofsted inspection show that we have now turned the corner in our improvement journey and are delivering our promise to improve our quality of social work practice.
“Our intention was always to keep focused and ensure that we make significant and appropriate changes, building on the positive work occurring within the service area. This work will continue until we are satisfied we are delivering the best possible service for our Essex children.”
The inspectors found that there were no priority actions for the authority to address and that the service has raised its standards, however it highlighted a number of areas for improvement.
The report said that the council’s “early intervention services are at an early stage of development and have yet to show impact”.
It added: “Too many assessments lack sufficient analysis and this results in recommendations that are not suitably based on clear evidence.
And: “The impact of children’s views on the analysis of core assessments is not always evident, and parents and carers are not consistently provided with a copy of the assessment.

Although at an early stage in it’s settlement Ascension Island was designated "HMS Ascension Island" "A Stone Sloop of War in the Smaller Class", it was an incredibly important airfield in both the Second World War and the Falklands War.
It played no signficant part during World War I thanks to early British dominance of the South Atlantic Ocean.
Despite this lack of involvement, Ascension Island, as a dependency of the Colony of St. Helena, was in theory at war with Germany and has therefore chosen to mark the Centenary of the start of the Great War.
As the war progressed, so radio receivers were strung over the lava like washing lines to provide communication with ships at sea and there was a detachment of marines running "HMS Ascension Island". Ascension Island New Cemetery contains six Commonwealth burials of the First World War.
For this Centenary issue, the Post Office has chosen to depict the Scarlet Corn Poppy (papaver rhoeas) which has a long association with World War I and Remembrance Day generally.
In the early 19th century during the Napoleonic Wars, a great deal of Europe was devastated and laid bare, and it is recorded that fields of poppies were seen to grow around the bodies of the dead.
During World War I, the same fields in France and Belgium were also turned into muddy wasteland and once the War had finished the poppy was one of the few plants to speedily return to the battle fields.
A Canadian Surgeon, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae immortalised the place of the poppy in his poem "In Flanders Fields". This was initially published in 1915 in the London based magazine "Punch", but it was not until 1919 that the poem was included in a published collection of his works and it became synoymous with the sacrifice of the soldiers who died in the First World War.
In 1918 an American Professor decided to wear a silk red poppy in memory of the soldiers who died in the War, and it was she who campaigned to have the poppy accepted as the official symbol of remembrance by the American Legion.
A french woman was inspired to sell poppies in France and in 1921 she sent poppy sellers to London to raise funds for the war orphans. Field Marshal Douglas Haig, himself one of the British Military Leaders in World War I helped found the Royal British Legion and he encouraged the sale and wearing of the red poppy.
The wearing of the poppy and the laying of poppy wreaths at Remembrance Services has been adopted as an international symbol of remembrance, although ironically in France, the poppy has been abandoned for Le Bleuet, the Cornflower and this is sold by the French National Board of Veterans and War Victims.
Each of the four stamps with values of 50p, 55p, 60p and £1.60p depicts a different image of the red poppy in growth, and unusually bears a specically produced logo which contains the shape of Ascension Island as a poppy within a circle which declares "Centenary of Great War 1914".

The Polar Night lasts for 41 unbroken days in Murmansk in the Far North… it started on 2 December… it’ll end on 12 January. That is, it’ll be dark for New Year’s and Christmas, and the sun will only rise again a week before Epiphany. At least, here in Upstate New York, we have light from 08.00 to 16.00 at the solstice. That ain’t much, but it’s much better than Murmansk has, which is NOTHING.
DARK! For 41 whole days… no wonder the Russians invented vodka… now, that’s an “All-Nighter”…
