If you’ve been spending your iso days bingeing old episodes of Gossip Girl on Netflix (c’mon don’t deny it now) and it’s got you wondering, whatever happened to Taylor Momsen’s old band, The Pretty Reckless? Well, the rock’n’roll group have been laying low since their 2016 release, Who You Selling For until… last week. The band announced they’ve joined the rad crew at Fearless Records during the label’s online livestream event.
The Pretty Reckless have now followed this signing up by releasing their first new song in 4 years, ‘Death By Rock and Roll’ and it’s a rowdy anthem featuring Momsen’s sultry, raw vocals driving energetic riffs pulsating throughout the track. It’s highly compelling and kinda makes you long for freedom. And this is exactly what the band are going for here:
“In a lot of ways, this new album feels like a rebirth and our first single, ‘Death By Rock And Roll,’ represents that salvation that my favourite music brings me. Rock is freedom and this song is about living life the way you want, and now that belongs to everyone who listens.”
No word yet on a full-length though. Stay tuned!

Superior’s Public Safety Committee wants to make it easier for police to identify nuisance properties and reach property owners or managers to resolve problems.
The committee is recommending changes to the nuisance premise ordinance that would require a placard on the building with contact information for those responsible for the property.
“This is something similar to what Duluth does for landlords for rental properties,” Superior police officer Bradley Jago said. “We’re not asking for all our rental properties. We’re just asking for those deemed a chronic nuisance to have this placard displayed so our officers see that and see the contact information.”
Jago said an officer approaching a home that it has been deemed a nuisance may not be aware of the declaration.
The ordinance adopted in 2006 was designed to address habitual nuisances in city neighborhoods stemming from offenses like harassment, disorderly conduct, battery, lewd and lascivious behavior, prostitution, theft, receiving stolen property, arson, drug-related offenses, gambling, animal violations, trespassing and weapons violations.
Three or more offenses in one year that result in enforcement action will trigger notification of property owners. They will be required to meet with a team of police officers to resolve the issues. Failure to make that effort can result in fines of $250 to $1,000 for the first offense and $500 to $2,000 for subsequent offenses.
“It’s very rare where we actually have to designate a property a nuisance, but sometimes it does happen,” Jago said. “Currently, there are five on my list that I am monitoring.”
Councilor Craig Sutherland questioned what happens if problem tenants move out and the new tenants are “golden.”
Jago said there is a process to remove the placard once the problem is abated.
“It would help us out, and it would allow us to do some of that problem-oriented policing where we involve some other members of the community, whether that be the landlord or the renters themselves to work against these problems,” Jago said.
“I think this is long overdue,” Councilor Esther Dalbec said.
The council will consider the ordinance change Nov. 4.

Something a little different for today’s picture, I guess a really abstract shot. I was thinking about my previous pictures, and how small was sometimes more mighty than large, so hoped to capture something of that nature today.
As morning broke, and the household began to wake, a sudden flash of heavy rain hit the house. The sound on the window was incredible, from early morning silence to what sounded like a thousand miniature drum sticks being rattled against the glass, in an instant.
It was impossible to avoid taking a look!
I was going to use this picture today (above) however it feels very ominous, and unknown. The rain this morning though heavy on the other side of the glass, didn’t feel like that at all. It felt more cleansing, more refreshing. It wasn’t dreary rain at all.
I took another shot, adjusting the lighting and frame a little. That still looked too bleak. It dawned on me that the stuff behind the rain drops through the glass were the distracting elements. So I set off for work, a little disgruntled.
Sat in my car, getting everything in order, lights on heater on music on, you know the drill; and the rain was still tapping on the glass, almost taunting me! So I gave in to it, and took another shot, this time focusing totally on the raindrops, and leaving the background to be fully out of focus, nothing but a blur of colour that was mostly trees and sky.
That worked, and I got my shot……
Learnings – keep trying, the picture your looking for is most likely possible, you just need the right conditions. I think the picture works because the rain drops are front and centre, and the totally blurred background leaves the imagination to run wild. The colours are also full of a kind of optimism, that captured how it felt really well. I like it.
Also, if the rain is trying to tell you something, listen to it, it might be important.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster made his first court appearance on Thursday afternoon after being charged earlier in the day with felony domestic violence.
Foster didn't enter a plea at his arraignment before Santa Clara Superior Court Judge Nona Klippen at the Hall of Justice in San Jose, California, and he left the courthouse after Klippen set his bail at $75,000.
Foster's attorney, Josh Bentley, requested a delay in entering a plea for Foster because the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office had listed the charges against his client only a few hours earlier.
Foster has been charged with domestic violence with an allegation that he inflicted great bodily injury, forcefully attempting to prevent a victim from reporting a crime and possession of an assault weapon. In addition to those felonies, Foster has been charged with misdemeanor possession of a large-capacity-weapon magazine.
The charges stem from an incident on Feb. 11, when the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department responded to a possible disturbance at a Los Gatos home and ended up arresting Foster.
The District Attorney's Office charges Foster attacked a 28-year-old woman, identified as his "live-in girlfriend," during an argument at their home, leaving the woman with bruises and a ruptured ear drum after, she said, Foster dragged her by her hair and punched her in the head eight to 10 times.
If convicted of all charges, Foster could face 10 years, eight months in state prison, according to prosecutor Kevin Smith of the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office.
Foster left the courthouse with his attorney without either commenting on the court proceedings or the charges.
Two of Foster's 49ers teammates were reported to have come to the courthouse -- cornerback Richard Sherman, who joined the NFL team in free agency last month and has never played with Foster, and safety Jaquiski Tartt, who prepped at Davidson High School in Mobile and was a collegiate standout at Samford.
"Just as a teammate, you want to be there for support," Sherman said. "We don't know what happened. I'm not judging the circumstances. I'm just trying to support him."
After Foster was charged on Thursday, but before his court appearance, the 49ers issued a statement, which read: "The 49ers organization is aware of today's disturbing charges regarding Reuben Foster. We will continue to follow this serious matter. Reuben is aware his place in our organization is under great scrutiny and will depend on what is learned through the legal process."
San Francisco is scheduled to start its offseason program on Monday.
The NFL's personal-conduct policy allows the league commissioner to impose a six-game suspension without pay for domestic violence for a first-time offender. The NFL does not require a legal guilty verdict or even formal charges to impose punishment.
Foster also had been arrested in Alabama a month before he was arrested in California. Foster was charged with second-degree possession of marijuana on Jan. 12 in Tuscaloosa. His first court appearance on those charges has been rescheduled twice and is now set for May 2, two days after he's scheduled to enter a plea in San Jose on the domestic-violence charges.

Foster made the Pro Football Writers Association's All-Rookie team for the 2017 season after the 49ers traded up to select him with the 31st choice in last year's draft.
Foster missed six of San Francisco's first eight games during his rookie season because of the injuries. But in the second half of the season, Foster was on the field for every game, and San Francisco, which started the season 0-8, went 6-2. Despite his missed time, Foster finished second on the team in tackles.

Su Blackwell - Paper Artist
2012, The Little Prince.Su Blackwell is a wonderfully imaginative artist who works in paper. I find it inspirational how she makes books come to life. Creating three dimensional worlds from out of the context of the printed page. The power of the fold in the context of the book itself. Su's work is in the collections of admirers around the world, including Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter.
Su Blackwell exhibits at the Long & Ryle Gallery in London
"Su Blackwell graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2003. She makes intricate art-works from every-day objects, transforming clothes and books into fantastical three-dimensional forms. Using a scalpel she cuts and glues the pages of books to create miniature dioramas glowing with lights in wood and glass boxes, like Victorian relics found in a museum of intrigue.
She finds her books – or rather lets them find her – by trawling through second-hand book shops. She always reads the book first and this in turn inspires the work. Some of the books that come into the artist’s possession sit on her shelf for months and months. The books themselves, their histories and stories, also interest her. They hold in their pages a record of their past events, as physical objects; their damage, such as frays and stains, makes our relationship with the contents immediate and visceral, and in turn tells another story."

Sick of losing your favorite clothes from colors bleeding? We’re here to help.
We’re all aware of what happens when you put a red sock in with white clothes. Everything turns pink! But what if we told you a few ways to stop this from ever happening again?
We’ll teach you how to stop clothes from bleeding to make laundry day easier and ultimately, cheaper. Because ruining a whole load of laundry is an expensive mistake to make.
- Color test: Test your clothes for colorfastness. Submerge garments in soapy water. Check if the water has changed color.
- Use cold water: Hot water breaks down dyes and causes clothes to bleed.
- Sort clothes: Sort clothes with similar colors and weight. If bleeding occurs, it won’t be noticeable. Washing heavy and delicate clothes together increases friction which causes more bleeding.
Why Do Clothes Bleed?
Not all fabrics bleed — so, what is the reason behind some fabrics bleeding?
- Crocking: Crocking usually happens while clothes are dry, but it can also happen while wet. The excess dye from one fabric rubs onto another dry fabric. This usually occurs with darker colors. You might have experienced it if you wear a dark sweater over a light t-shirt, and take it off later to find new stains. It’s most common with dyed raw denim though. It’s usually a result of the dye not being properly adhered to the fabric.
- Bleeding: Bleeding, similar to crocking, is when one fabric stains another, but this occurs when the clothes are wet. The dye runs off the clothes while they’re wet and stains the water which then stains other clothes. This tends to happen most often with brightly colored clothes.
- Fading: Fading is when clothes lose their dyes through bleeding, crocking, bleach or exposure to sunlight. This can also occur from the water, friction, detergent and drying method used during a regular laundry day. Clothes will look lighter or less bright than they did before.
How to Stop Clothes Bleeding in the Wash
Crocking, bleeding and fading are all quite scary words, but there’s no reason to fear. With extra caution and knowledge, you can easily stop clothes from bleeding in the wash.
Before washing the garment with other clothes, do a color test. The care label will often tell you if an item will bleed. It may say to wash with similar colors, or warn you that the colors may run. But if it doesn’t, and you’re curious, there are two ways to color test.
Hand Wash Separately
If you’re worried about colors bleeding, it’s recommended that you wash the garment by hand separately. This prevents other items of clothing from getting damaged.
Depending on the garment, hand washing instructions will vary.
Use Cold Water
If you want to machine wash the garment with other clothes, always use cold water. Hot water causes more bleeding and staining on other clothes since it can break down the dyes (1). We always recommend cold water for maintaining color and brightness in clothes.
Color catchers are sheets that go in with your laundry to trap loose dyes. They are meant to prevent clothes from bleeding by stopping dyes from transferring onto other garments. So, you shouldn’t end up with pink towels if you accidentally threw in a red sock.
Color catchers have mixed reviews. This is mostly because if you use them with hot water, your clothes can still fade. Yes, the color catchers might trap dyes and prevent staining or crocking — but clothes can still fade.
Ultimately, these sheets work best in cold water. In that case, however, the clothes probably won’t bleed or fade anyway so there’s not much point in using them.
Dye fixatives are intended to reduce bleeding, fading and therefore, transfer to other clothes in the machine. It depends on the product, but these are usually intended for at-home dyeing projects, like tie-dying. Always check the manufacturer instructions to see what the product is intended for.
The molecules in the fixative have a positive charge, whereas the molecules in most dyes have a negative charge (2). So the dyes can be glued into place with the dye fixative.
There are two main drawbacks to fixatives, though. For one, clothes that have been treated by a dye fixative become less resistant to fading from light sources. Secondly, the dye fixative may contain a carcinogen, formaldehyde.
Sort With Similar Colors
Of course, this takes some extra time and planning, but it’s the best way to prevent color staining. Sure, colors might still bleed but it won’t be noticeable if you wash with similar colors.
To prevent clothes bleeding, think about friction. Friction is a huge factor for clothes bleeding and fading.
First, try using a gentle cycle. This will minimize friction and abrasion, which — especially in cold cycles — should rule out any possibility of color bleeding. Also, don’t overstuff the washing machine.
Second, wash your clothes inside out. This stops clothes fading on the outside.
Wash heavy and delicate clothes separately. Heavy clothes can increase friction in a cycle and transfer their dyes to delicate items.
FAQs About Stopping Clothes From Bleeding
Tips for Preventing Clothes From Bleeding or Fading
For our final top tips, refer to this great list!
- Always turn your clothes inside out when washing them. This will still thoroughly clean clothes, but it reduces friction on the colored side.
- Wash clothes in cold water. Hot water can relax the fibers and allow the colors to bleed more easily.
- Don’t overstuff your washing machine. This can increase friction and agitation which causes colors to bleed and fade.
- If drying clothes outside, don’t hang them in direct sunlight as this can cause fading.
- Always check for colorfastness. If the garment bleeds, wash it separately or with similar colors.
- Wash clothes before wearing to remove excess dye. This stops clothes fading or bleeding in the next wash, but also protects your skin from dye stains.
- Always separate clothes by color and weight.
- Adding a cup of vinegar to your wash won’t stop bleeding, but it can brighten whites and colors to stop the appearance of fading.
- Use short gentle washing cycles where possible, or opt for handwashing.
Keeping Clothes Bright
With these tips to stop your clothes from bleeding, you can keep your clothes bright and reduce fading. This is a common disaster on laundry day and it can take a while to get into the habit of our top tips. But soon enough, you’ll be separating laundry by color and weight as if it were second nature!
With these tips and habits in mind, not only will you save yourself from the nightmare of stained clothes. But you’ll also save money, since ruining an entire load of laundry with a non-colorfast item is a costly mistake to make.


Texas cop present at Sandra Bland's arrest says prosecutors warned him not to speak out
A Texas police officer who was present during Sandra Bland's traffic stop and arrest that led to her untimely death in a Waller County jail cell last year has said that county officials told him not to speak out about what really happened.
In an interview with the Houston Chronicle on Tuesday, Prairie View police officer Michael Kelly said the Waller County's district attorney's office prevented him from testifying before a grand jury about evidence that would have benefited Bland's family and lawyer, telling Kelly that if he went public with his account, his career would suffer.
On July 10, 2015, Sandra Bland was pulled over at a traffic stop for an improper lane change she made on the way to her new job at Prairie View A&M University, her alma mater. Trooper Brian Encinia, the arresting officer who was later shown on a dashboard camera video getting into a physical confrontation with Bland and threatening to "light you up" with his Taser, took her to the county jail. Bland was found hanged in her cell three days later, her death later ruled a suicide.
Bland's death, and the events leading up to it, have aroused both suspicion and outrage from family members, and from civil rights activists across the country. Bland's mother, Geneva Reed-Veal, has filed a federal wrongful death lawsuit against Waller County officials, and has criticized both county jail officials' treatment of her daughter and the subsequent grand jury review of Bland's death.
According to the Chronicle, Officer Kelly outlined his allegations in a sworn deposition he made last week on behalf of Reed-Veal's wrongful death suit.
According to a separate interview he gave to the Huffington Post, Kelly arrived on the scene of the fateful traffic stop after Officer Encinia had already handcuffed Bland and put her in the back of his squad car. Kelly told the Post that he had overheard Encinia admit that he didn't know what charge he could levy against Bland, but that he would think of something. Kelly said that that detail was later removed in the Prairie View cop's incident report about Bland's arrest.
“My opinion is that [Encinia] messed up,” Kelley told the Huffington Post. “He did not have probable cause to detain her after he pulled her out of the car.”
After Bland was found dead in her cell, the Houston Chronicle wrote, a Texas Ranger arrived at the Prairie View police station and told Kelly and another officer present at Bland's arrest to write reports about what they had witnessed. But when Kelly and the other officer printed out their statements, the Ranger told the two cops not to make any copies or sign them.
"That's when the red flags started coming on my end," Kelly told the Chronicle.
Kelly said he was told to input his statement into the police station's computer system, but he never did so, because his chief told him that he would take care of the report. But when Kelly was presented a copy of the report during his deposition last week, he said the document contained overly "generic" statements, and any information incriminating Officer Encinia was omitted.
The Chronicle reported that Kelly asked to testify before a grand jury about what he saw at the traffic stop, but the DA's office declined to subpoena him. When the officer threatened to call one of the lawyers for Bland's mother, an official at the DA told him that doing so would have a bad effect on his career.
The Huffington Post reported that Officer Kelly was later indicted for allegedly using a Taser on Prairie View City Councilman Jonathan Miller after the councilman did not comply with police orders last October.
The allegations of his own misconduct have led some county officials to discredit Kelly's claims about what happened when Encinia arrested Sandra Bland. As the Houston Chronicle noted, Waller County District Attorney Elton R. Mathis Jr. dismissed Kelly's deposition as "fictional," and referred to the October incident with Councilman Miller.
In a written statement, Mathis said that Kelly's allegations are "an attempt to divert attention away from the crime committed against Councilman Miller and to cash in on the media attention and sad circumstances surrounding Ms. Bland's death last year for which we all still mourn."
"I unequivocally state that he never approached me, my first assistant, or any member of my staff with any such information," Mathis added. "His job was never threatened by me or my staff, and I barely knew who he was before he was indicted."
But Kelly maintains that his October indictment was in retaliation for his willingness to go public with his claims about Encinia's treatment of Bland, the Huffington Post wrote.
Allegations of corruption in the case surrounding Sandra Bland's death are not new. As the Houston Chronicle noted, a former Waller County jailer recently testified in a deposition that he falsified jail logs on the day of Bland's death, but a source told the Chronicle that the grand jury decided not to indict anyone over the matter.
Waller County Jail also has a history of mismanagement and abuse. An expose in The Guardian in April reported that a five-person panel was appointed by the sheriff's office and a local attorney to suggest improvements to the jail. The committee eventually called for an entirely new jail, and said that there was widespread abuse of inmates, including harassing suspects and calling them names like "thug," "gangbanger," and "piece of sh*t." The committee also stated that there was a poor system for screening inmates with physical and mental health problems.
Despite the resistance he's received for coming forward, Officer Kelly maintains he is doing so for the right reasons, questioning the district attorney's pledge to fully investigate Sandra Bland's death.
"He gave statements to the media they would leave no stone unturned," Kelly told the Chronicle. "I wasn't allowed to give testimony. I was a stone that wasn't turned over."

In a survey conducted at the end of last year more than 6 million Britons said they don’t believe they will ever be debt free. Research has also found the average person in the UK owes £8,000 – on top of any mortgage debt. On top of that around 25% of all UK households said they are struggling to make ends meet and 62% said they were often worried about their levels of personal debt.
Many people who see no end in sight feel there is no way out and the daily struggle and worry can lead to high levels of stress and even depression. This can be a debilitating vicious cycle that stops people asking for help, with more than half of people feeling there is negative stigma in asking for help, according to recent research. The ‘head in the sand’ syndrome, if you will.
A recent study found that 59 per cent of customers attribute this debt stigma to societal stereotyping and their own feelings of shame, embarrassment or inadequacy. A further 36 per cent blame the practices used by their service providers for making them feel that way and the remainder stated it was a combination of both factors.
According to a recent survey by the Nationwide Building Society, more than half of people with debts feel they are just “juggling” around the amounts they owe. 57% of people in the red said they were experiencing problems and felt they were juggling debts, the survey found.
The survey also found significant numbers of those in debt felt stressed (29%), anxious (28%), depressed (20%) and embarrassed (16%) when thinking about their debts, the research found.
Women were much more likely to say their debts made them feel stressed, at 36% versus 22% of men.
Most (58%) people with debt had never sought help with managing their money.
Among those who had sought help, just one in 14 (7%) approached their financial services provider, while over a fifth (21%) asked friends and family.
Jasper Davy, Nationwide’s head of collections and recoveries, said: “Our own experience tells us that it’s rare for someone to seek pre-emptive help.
“Because people can be embarrassed and anxious, they view seeking professional help as a last resort only to be used in a crisis, but there’s lots of support widely available and we’d encourage anyone who is struggling to ask for help as early as possible.”
Recent research from the charity Step Change, showed that around 3.3 million people in the UK are experiencing severe problem debt and around 9.3 million are showing signs of moderate financial difficulty.
Head of policy at Step Change, Peter Tutton said, “There is a blurred line between helpful credit, which is a normal part of life for many people, and problem debt.”
“For most of the clients we advise, credit only turned into problem debt as a result of a change in circumstances or a trigger event such as unemployment, illness, bereavement, relationship breakdown or another life event.”
‘We estimate that around 3.3 million people in the UK are experiencing severe problem debt, and that around 9.3 million are showing signs of moderate financial difficulty.”

James T. Hodgkinson, the Illinois man who is suspected of gunning down a Republican Congressman and four other people in Virginia this morning, posted diatribes against President Donald Trump and the Republican Party on social media.
Hodgkinson, who fired at a practice for the Republican congressional baseball team in Alexandria, Virginia, hitting Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., was a member of Facebook groups called “Terminate the Republican Party” and “The Road to Hell is Paved with Republicans.”
He died of gunshot wounds sustained when security guards fired back at the baseball field, Trump said. An F.B.I. agent working on the case said it was too early to determine a motive for the shooting, the New York Times reported.
Scalise is in stable condition, his office said in a tweet.
Just two days before the shooting, Hodgkinson, who was 66, posted on Facebook, “I Want to Say Mr. President, for being an ass hole you are Truly the Biggest Ass Hole We Have Ever Had in the Oval Office.” His social media activity was first reported by the Belleville News-Democrat.
A resident of Belleville, Ill., a suburb of St. Louis, Hodgkinson also volunteered on the presidential campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Sanders said in a tweet on Wednesday.
“I am sickened by this despicable act,” Sanders said. “Violence of any kind is unacceptable in our society and I condemn this action in the strongest possible terms.”
Hodgkinson had recently traveled to Washington, D.C. to protest Trump, his brother, Michael Hodgkinson, told the New York Times. “I know he wasn’t happy with the way things were going, the election results and stuff,” he said, adding that his brother cared about politics and led a normal life.
Overall, his Facebook postings — which were removed from the website on Wednesday — portrayed someone virulently opposed to Trump and Republicans, but aren’t so far out of the norm of any fired-up, profane political junkie on the internet. He made posts in recent weeks calling a female Republican congressional candidate a “bitch,” and arguing that Trump “Should Go to Prison for Treason.”
“Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.,” he wrote in March.
Hodgkinson owned a home improvement business but his license had lapsed last year, the News-Democrat reported.
He had a history of domestic violence, the Daily Beast reported, citing police reports. He was arrested in 2006 for domestic battery and discharge of a firearm after punching a woman and aiming a shotgun at her boyfriend, a police report said. He also hit and punched a woman, pulling her hair and throwing her “around the bedroom,” the report said.
In letters to the News-Democrat, which the paper published Wednesday, he railed against the GOP’s policies, especially focusing on tax issues. “Let’s vote all Republicans out of Congress, and get this country back on track,” he wrote in 2012. “I have never said ‘life sucks,’ only the policies of the Republicans.”
Rep. Jared Huffman, a Democrat who represents California’s north coast, said he and other members of the Democratic baseball team were practicing at a separate facility when they heard the news of the shooting.
Our Dem baseball team was practicing when we heard news. We're safe & with police, everyone praying for GOP colleagues, staff & Cap police

Driving in Italy - not for the faint hearted
We finally finished the paperwork and tracked down our hire car in the airport carpark. It’s now about 8.30am. It was the first time I (Jan) had driven a left-hand drive car. As I exited the carpark, I forgot to look to my right and nearly collided with traffic in the far-right lane. As I drove onto the freeway, I followed a van which was full of nuns. I thought I would be safe. They were sure to have divine protection.
The car hire people told us to take the exit to Florence, but I missed it completely. How was I to know they called it Firenze? When I saw the dome of St Peter’s church above the buildings ahead, I realised that we were heading straight into the middle of Rome. Not a good idea.
[Note: this is 2006 and before satellite navigation was common. All we had was a map. A large and very complicated one.]
We pulled over and Marg tried asking someone the way to the freeway. They pointed back the way we had come (reminiscent of the airport really). After driving another couple of blocks with no sign of the freeway, we turned into a road where several people were walking.
We showed one chap a map of Rome, hoping he would show us where we were. But he couldn’t understand it, shrugged and walked off.
A couple of girls took pity on us and pointed out the route to the freeway on the map. Quite simple really. Drive up this road and turn right. Smiling confidently, we head off, the thought of getting to our destination by lunch time still optimistically fixed in our minds. After all, it was only 190km to Assisi. We should be able to do that in under three hours.
Now on the correct freeway we soon came to a stop. One could be forgiven for thinking we had entered a parking lot. With dismay on our left we saw hundreds of trucks (well, several) also trying to merge onto the same road we were on. As we inched forward, I suddenly found my lane had disappeared and we were squeezed between two very large trucks. At the last minute someone let me in. The golden rule for driving in Italy: look after your front, and trust others will look after your behind.
About four hours later (!) we finally saw the turn off to Assisi. It was here I made my first major turn - left – straight into a line of oncoming traffic in the left lane. It was then I realised I didn’t know where reverse was. I hadn’t needed it before now. Horns blaring, people yelling, and I was stuck! Finally, the quirky reverse gear action was discovered, and I moved off the road. It took several minutes to recover.
I wish I could say I learnt my lesson, but I had to use this turnoff many times over the next four weeks of our stay in Italy and I only managed to get it right once. (Upon returning to Italy two years later it was with great joy that I found a roundabout had been built at this intersection. They must have heard I was coming back!)
Now which way do you turn to go around Italian roundabouts? RIGHT!

- 1 Sprinkler systems
- 1.1 At what temperatures is a sprinkler automatically activated?
- 1.2 Standard sprinklers
- 1.3 Suspended and standing spray sprinklers
- 1.4 Sidewall sprinklers
- 1.5 Fast Response Sprinkler
How does a sprinkler work?
The most important components of a sprinkler system are the network of distribution pipes and a dedicated, guaranteed water supply. The sprinklers are spaced according to the fire risk and are located in the branch pipes. In the event of a fire, only those sprinklers in the immediate vicinity of the fire are activated.
|The sprinkler incorporates a glass tube containing a special fluid and a small amount of air. If the temperature increases, the fluid expands in the glass tube. The pressure continues to build until the air in the glass tube is absorbed. If the temperature continues to rise, the pressure increases rapidly, causing the glass tube to shatter and the seal to be broken. A shower of extinguishing water is then distributed evenly over the seat of the fire.|
At what temperatures is a sprinkler automatically activated?
The ambient temperature is the crucial factor for sprinkler activation. The sprinkler reacts when reaching a specific limit. This depends on the type of sprinkler.
Water spray extinguishing system, for example to protect property
Wet system for protecting shelves and ceilings
We offer the ideal solution for the specific demands applying to standard and high-bay warehouses. The sprinklers are installed directly on the shelves to ensure efficient fire protection. Each area is separated off using columns made from non-flammable material. This enables accurate extinguishing using the sprinklers installed in the relevant area. The fire is suppressed immediately and cannot spread to other sectors. Quick-action suspended sprinklers that are activated at 68°C are normally installed for this purpose.
Dry system for areas at risk of frost
Dry systems are used in areas at risk of frost where the extinguishing water already in the sprinkler pipes may freeze. In such systems, the network of pipes exposed to temperatures below 5 degrees is filled with compressed air from the point of the triggering sprinkler head onwards. When a sprinkler head is activated, the system is immediately filled with water.
There are various types of sprinklers
These sprinklers can be installed suspended or standing. The spray plate is designed so that the areas both above and below the sprinkler are sprayed. This type of sprinkler is ideal for flammable ceilings.
Suspended and standing spray sprinklers
The most common type of sprinkler. Standing sprinklers are used when the pipework is visible. Suspended sprinklers are always used when the pipework is hidden.
These sprinklers are mainly used for aesthetic reasons to keep ceilings free of pipes or prevent the damage that can be caused by installation on existing ceilings.
Fast Response Sprinkler
A fire inevitably produces toxic gases that are more dangerous to humans than the actual flames. Fast-response sprinklers have an extremely short response time that enables a fire to be detected and fire-fighting to start quickly. This prevents high temperatures and the creation of dangerous pyrolysis products, thereby gaining valuable time to save lives.


A View from Asia
Taken from the foreword to the book by
Office of the Telecommunications Authority
Like many parts of the world, the Asia-Pacific region is experiencing a mobile service boom brought about by its recent economic successes (especially in its newly industrialized economies), increasingly liberal regulatory environments and the availability of new technologies. Although the major demand for mobile service is in the cellular and paging services, cordless access services (CAS) such as in the telepoint application still have an important role to play in many markets in this region. In places with high population densities, like Hong Kong, "low mobility" mobile services based on CAS technology can be set up with good coverage at relatively low cost and are suitable for public transport or pedestrian oriented communities. In countries where the fixed telecommunications infrastructure is inadequate, CAS based wireless local loop is increasingly becoming a viable means for implementing fast rollout of fixed networks. Over the past few years, cordless telecommunications technology has evolved from that used in simple analogue home cordless phones to complex digital public network access systems capable of handling both inbound and outbound traffic with "handoff".
To policy makers and telecommunications regulators, the evolutionary changes of CAS pose a challenge because they continue to blur the traditional boundaries between mobile and fixed network services. Difficulties also arise in keeping abreast of the various new and often incompatible standards in cordless telecommunications and in providing spectrum for competing technologies. However, the changing CAS technology may open up new market opportunities and applications and is definitely of interest to the telecommunications industry. Our experiences in Hong Kong, where the early success of CT2 telepoint services has dissipated in the face of rapid developments in digital cellular services, indicates that commercial CAS operators will need to position themselves more as adjuncts to the fixed networks rather than as direct competitors to cellular services. This we attempt to facilitate in Hong Kong with our policies of technology-neutrality, spectrum allocation and open licensing processes.
This book on "Cordless Telecommunications Worldwide" edited by Walter H W Tuttlebee contains invaluable contributions form distinguished experts in the associated disciplines and is a timely work for telecommunications practitioners. I congratulate the editor and his contributors for producing such a clear and comprehensive volume of this exciting field.


Connector Causes a Commotion
The first of four public hearings held last night on the proposed Intercounty Connector (ICC) brought out opinions on both sides of the aisle. The ICC would connect a major business corridor in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, I-95, the Port of Baltimore, and the Baltimore-Washington International Airport. Construction on the 18-mile highway is slated to begin next year. "We want businesses and the general public to have mobility options that will reduce travel times," said Norris McDonald, president of the African American Environmentalist Association, a group that backs the highway. Opponents of the project argue that the highway would bypass areas in need of economic development in favor of areas that are already full of jobs. Suburban sprawl is also of great concern. "The ICC threatens all the positive steps that the state, Montgomery County and Prince George's County have taken to grow smartly," said Cheryl Cort of the Washington Regional Network for Livable Communities. Regional officials say that the highway has been in master plans for 40 years and it is a crucial step towards relieving roadway congestion around Washington.

Do I have gynecomastia? (Photo)
Doctor Answers 8
How should I choose a surgeon?First Must be a board certified Plastic surgeon(Not a cosmetic surgeon)
Selecting a surgeon is as important a choice as the decision to undergo surgery. Choose carefully. The decision is yours. What follows is some advice to assist in making your selection.
1. Experience matters. Choosing a surgeon who has performed over one thousand gynecomastia cases increases the likelihood that they have seen a case similar to yours in the past. Selecting a surgeon whose practice is focused on gynecomastia exclusively is also an indicator of experience.
2. Results matter. The more before-and-after pictures a surgeon displays, the better. Pay attention not just to the number of pictures, but whether the surgeon is confident enough to show multiple angles of the same patient.
3. Reviews matter. Have patients reviewed your surgeon? Did those patients undergo the surgery you are considering?
4. Expertise matters. Is your surgeon recognized by the profession as an authority in the field? Are they certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery? Have they authored books or medical journal articles regarding your surgery?
We hope these guidelines are of assistance when you are selecting your surgeon. When undergoing surgery, it is very important to be realistic about your expectations. Past results are not a guarantee of future results. Also, revision surgery tends to be significantly more difficult than initial surgery.

Consulting with a Board Certified Surgeon May Better Determine
According to official statistics, 36% of adult young men and 57% of older #adult men in the United States have this medical condition in one of the four grades.
About 200,000 to 3 million cases of #gynecomastia are being reported every single year. So if you have #breast #enlargement and you feel you're an exception, please understand that 1 in 3 young adult #men and 1 in 2 older adult men are just like you and have breast enlargement.
There are three types of surgical treatment options available that treat gynecomastia. Your board-certified plastic surgeon will recommend the type best suited for you. The most important decision to be made before performing any surgical procedure is determining whether you are an ideal candidate. Weight, and more specifically body mass index (BMI), need to be considered when deciding.
Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon is highly suggested in order to determine if you are a surgery candidate and what treatments are best for you.

MONTGOMERY -- The Alabama House of Representatives approved a bill today that would protect the homestead exemptions of Alabamians whose homes were blown away or severely damaged in last week's string of deadly tornadoes.
The legislation by Rep. Jack Williams, R-Birmingham, would give a two-year break to those whose homes were destroyed or damaged to the point where they could not be repaired to meet the Oct. 1 deadline for claiming the state's $4,000 homestead exemption.
Without the legislation, Rep. Randy Davis, R-Daphne, said homeowners are facing a "significant increase to families."
The bill, dubbed the "Alabama Homeowners and Storm Victims Protection Act," passed on a 95-0 vote. It now moves to the Senate.
"Last week we had literally thousands of homes in Alabama damaged to the point where families will not be residing in those homes on Oct. 1," said Williams. "Under current Alabama law, they lose their homestead exemption on Oct. 1 because the property is no longer owner-occupied."
Williams said the legislation, which would cost the General Fund about $1.2 million, would treat new home construction like residential property even if the property closed after the Oct. 1 filing deadline for homestead exemptions.
"Right now if you build a house and it closes after Oct. 1, it's taxed as commercial property. It's basically double-taxed the first year," he said. "This treats all single-family dwelling as owner-occupied property."
Under current law, families who were forced out of their homes because of the storm damage would be forced to pay double taxation if they were unable to get back in their homes by Oct. 1.
If long-term repairs are necessary, Williams said under his legislation homeowners could apply to the Alabama Department of Revenue for a four-year extension.
Williams recalled the damage in the Birmingham area by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 where new homes were scheduled to close in the last week of September.
"The power lines were pulled off those homes, and because the damage was so widespread the power company was unable to get out to these unoccupied new homes until after the first or second week of October, delaying closings for about two weeks for 10 or 15 families," said Williams. "Because they missed that first deadline, their property that first year was double-taxed. Their property that first year was considered commercial property."
The bill also provides protection for builders who build "spec homes" that don't sell immediately. Homeowners who are similarly affected by future natural disasters would also have their exemptions protected for up to two years.
"No one should be penalized because they've been displaced by a natural disaster," House Speaker Mike Hubbard said in a statement. "Our state has come together in unprecedented fashion to help our fellow Alabamians in need in the wake of the tornadoes.
"We will continually look for ways to make life a little easier for the victims of this terrible tragedy. We can never replace what was lost, but we can ensure that victims do not suffer further loss."A homestead exemption can be claimed on a single-family residence that one owns and occupies as a principal residence. This includes mobile homes, but does not include a second or vacation home. The homestead exemption applies on primary homes and up to 160 acres of land.

10 Token Tomboys
by The Mary Sue Staff | 10:13 am, February 28th, 2011
Allow Us To Explain...
So, you’re adapting a story for a new medium and you notice that everybody is pretty… male. Or, perhaps there’s the one girl, dressed in a pink skirt, dating the leader guy and getting captured a lot. It occurs to you that the six or seven male characters you have run a range of different personalities, and it wouldn’t be fair to only give girls one kind of character to look up to. So you add a tomboy.
Or maybe someone asks you to add more female characters for representation’s sake. So you add a tomboy. Or maybe there were no girls at all. So you add a tomboy.
Here are some characters added for the sake of diversity. (And we’re sure glad they were!)


New Year’s Eve — long known as amateur night for all its novice partiers (the ones who puke in the backseat of the Uber) — is a sloppy spectacle charged with debauchery, douchebaggery and, on occasion, responsible revelry.
It’s tailored to the same people who get all giddy and bug-eyed over the very idea of a celebration, be it Mardi Gras, spring break or a bachelorette party. It’s all about skin-deep decadence, dude! Now put your tongue back in your face.
I’ve done my share of Jim Morrisonian indulgence on New Year’s Eve, long time ago when a frilly party hat and chintzy noisemaker didn’t mortify me. Now even streamers and confetti make me blush and I really sink into a sulfurous funk when I see giant eyeglasses with frames spelling “2023” in glitter. Outsized and clownish, they look fit for an orca at SeaWorld.
But I’m not allergic to a robust get-together with wine, folks and song, even though I shy away from them year by year. Hell, tonight I’m begging off a gathering of five for drinks in a living room. And it’s a pretty safe bet that I won’t be watching Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen get hilariously-slash-obnoxiously tipsy for the Times Square ball drop on CNN. (The dropping ball — what does it all mean?)
My last NYE soiree was pre-Covid, naturally, and it was fine, fun, chill. Maybe 10 of us, imbibing, blabbing, noshing, each one getting visibly more exhausted as midnight ticked-tocked to blast off. I get bored just thinking about it.
The rest of you tear it up, safely, sagely. Wear the dumb glasses, hurl confetti, drink up. But don’t bother anyone, rankle your fellow revelers. Especially the hardworking, don’t-want-to-deal-wth-drunks Uber drivers, who’d also really appreciate it if you didn’t barf in the backseat. I’ve talked to these people, and believe me, tonight they are dreading you. Don’t be that guy.

By the time you read this, the Penn State/Nebraska game should already be in progress. It is my sincere hope that the students don’t act like animals, as some of them did on Thursday night. It is also my hope that there are not a lot of pro-Paterno signs in Beaver Stadium. It’s inappropriate, in my view.
Of course, if some students or fans decide to misbehave, the police will be ready for them.
State College Police Department Captain John Gardner said he plans to have every officer working at the game against Nebraska, where some fear students may protest the ouster of Paterno after 46 years in charge of the team.
“It you truly support Coach Joe or Penn State, this is not the way,” Gardner told a news conference. “Stay off the street. The behavior of last night will not be tolerated.”
Pennsylvania State Police and the university police force will assist the town’s police on Saturday, Gardner said.
Good move. People think they can screw with the university police – and they may be right – but it would be a big mistake to frak with the Staties. Trust me on this.

The ZS EV is powered by a 44.5kWh water-cooled battery with rapid-charging capability that will enable it to be recharged from 0-80% in 43 minutes, while domestic charging on a 7kW unit takes six-and-a-half hours from 0-100%. Certified range on current WLTP test regulations is expected to be confirmed in Q3.
The introduction of the ZS EV will come laden with a long list of standard safety equipment including a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) presented as a first for MG. New standard features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Traffic Assist featuring automatic low-speed steering, Blind Spot Detection, Autonomous Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Alert Control System add to the ZS EV’s compelling suite of high technology.
As the most technologically advanced MG ever, ZS EV is equipped as standard with a new panoramic, sliding sky-roof to further enhance the sense of space within the cabin. Furthermore, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow for seamless integration with owners’ own technology, while DAB Radio, keyless entry and satellite navigation enhance the level of technology found within this family friendly electric SUV.
Since it was first announced in March, MG has received more than 800 expressions of interest for its forthcoming new model, which is the most for any pre-launched model in the company’s history.
Daniel Gregorious, Head of Sales & Marketing at MG Motor UK, says: “The arrival of the MG ZS EV represents the start of MG’s long-term brand and product expansion plan and we’re delighted to be able to share it with the British public for the first time. ZS EV adds a new dimension to the car market by offering high-tech zero-emissions transport to a broader cross-section of buyers.
“The initial interest in ZS EV is extremely encouraging and confirms that car buyers are looking for a practical, versatile and stylish electric vehicle. It will also be the most high-tech MG yet. We’ve now opened the orderbank exclusively for visitors to the London Motor Show. Interested buyers can place a holding deposit on the stand to reserve their place on the waiting list. As visitors will see, this new MG bears all the key hallmarks customers know and love about ZS in terms of flexibility, space and generous standard specification, but it just so happens to be a fully electric SUV.”

Is something very inadequate or wrong in the uniformed services training programmes to result in the death of a woman RMAF trainee pilot and a woman army recruit in a matter of 60 hours?
by Lim Kit Siang
(Petaling Jaya, Wednesday): Malaysians regardless of race, religion or political affiliation are very concerned about the death of a woman Royal Malaysian Air Force trainee pilot, Lt Muda Mai Elny Sefrina Jalaluddin, 23 and woman army recruit, Norazlina Abdul Aziz, 21, in a matter of 60 hours, which raise the question whether there is something very inadequate or wrong in the uniformed services training programmes to have caused or contributed to their deaths.
Norazlina, of Muar, who had been training with 300 other women recruits in Negri Sembilan, was found unconscious at 5 p.m. on Friday, while on a 12 km run at Kampung Sri Rusa, Port Dickson. She was taken to the army hospital, later referred to the Port Dickson Hospital and then to Seremban Hospital where she died six hours later at 11 p.m.
New Sunday Times (10.8.03) reported that post-mortem revealed Norazlina had died from “a hard blow to the head” and that six other women army recruits were admitted to hospital for lethargy and 22 given outpatient treatment for fatigue and dehydration during training on Friday.
Mai Elny from Kuala Pilah, Negri Sembilan, died when the Pilatus PC-7 trainer aircraft she was flying crashed into a rubber smallholding near Jalan Bukit Kayu Hitam-Changlun at about 12.20 p.m. yesterday. She is the first woman RMAF pilot to be killed in a crash.
DAP sends deepest condolences to the two bereaved families and joins Malaysians in wanting a full and public inquiry into the true causes of the death of a woman army recruit and a woman RMAF trainee pilot within 60 hours of each other and in particular, whether there is something very inadequate or even wrong in the uniformed services training programmes.
Norazlina is at least the seventh RMAF casualty from Pilatus PC-7 crashes, which had included:
Defence Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak should explain how the RMAF stands in world tables with regard to seven deaths from a fleet of some 40 Pilatus PC-7s in the past two decades as compared to other air forces, and what the RMAF had done to reduce the high incidence of Pilatus PC-7 crashes and deaths.
The safety and security of uniformed services training programmes to the trainees has become an even bigger public issue with the ill-considered rush to implement the national service training programme, starting with 100,000 18-year-olds next year, which would involve military drills and training.
Najib, as the Minister in charge of the national service training programme, should explain what lessons have been learnt from the two deaths and what measures have been taken to ensure that the national service training programme will not be so accident-prone as to cause deaths.
* Lim Kit Siang, DAP National Chairman

This Week's Baltimore Deal Sheet
Seawall Development purchased an industrial outdoor storage site and two warehouse buildings totaling 30K SF in Baltimore's Remington neighborhood for $5M.
Prior to this deal, Seawall Development has invested a substantial amount in redevelopment projects surrounding the property at 2600 Sisson St. Those assets include Remington Row, R. House and Miller's Court.
Cincinnati-based First Transit Inc. uses the site for bus storage, repair services, and dispatch operations via contract with the Maryland Department of Transportation.
The developer has yet to say what it intends to do with the property. The industrial outdoor storage sector has increasingly drawn attention from large investors in the Baltimore area and nationally in recent years.
“Generally unimproved parcels located in urban areas, consisting of five to 25 acres in size, are part of a new asset class known as industrial outdoor storage or outdoor storage land, and are in extremely high demand among end users and investors alike,” said MacKenzie Commercial Real Estate Services Senior Vice President Daniel Hudak, who represented seller Sisson Trans LLC in the deal.
Nonprofit Helping Up Mission has purchased the historic Hendler Creamery building at 1107 East Fayette St. A previous owner left it a decrepit facade after long-stalled plans to build apartments at the site finally fell through, according to the Baltimore Business Journal.
Acres Capital Group provided an $83.7M construction loan to developer Goldstar Group to fund the construction and stabilization of the planned Residences at East Church project. Goldstar Group intends to build five multistory buildings at 605 East Church St. near downtown Frederick. Plans for the development call for building 350 apartments and 525 parking spaces.
Parkview Financial has loaned $45M to an affiliate of Vivo Investments LLC to transform a former, two-tower hotel asset into 708 apartments in downtown Baltimore, the lender announced Wednesday.
The property, featuring buildings of 23 and 27 stories, previously housed a dual-branded Radisson and Holiday Inn hotel. The developer expects to deliver a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments in late 2024. Baltimore-based Urban Design Group is the architect on the project.
“We believe that as renters get priced out of more expensive nearby cities such as neighboring Washington D.C., this project will attract young renters looking for like-new, but affordable units in a prime location of downtown Baltimore," Parkview Financial CEO Paul Rahimian said in a release.
Partner Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center has inked a deal with DLC Management Group and Acadia Realty Trust to lease 20K SF within Frederick Crossing, located at 7330 Guilford Drive in Frederick.
Frederick Crossing is a nearly 300K SF retail center anchored by Kohl's, Best Buy and Regency Furniture. Commercial real estate firm Edge represented the tenant in the transaction.

NEW YORK (AP) — If you want to speak to thousands of preschoolers in the morning without worrying about fixing breakfast or calming tantrums, the Sprout TV network is offering an opportunity.
The cable network that tries to reach young children launched an online search Tuesday for someone to help host “The Sunny Side Up Show,” their three-hour morning show. Aspiring TV hosts are asked to submit a 60-second audition video and send it to Sprout’s website, and the network will post some of the best on its YouTube channel.
Three finalists will be chosen to audition with Chica, its chicken character, in front of show producers September in Philadelphia, Sprout said. Sprout, which is aimed at youngsters aged 2 to 5, is in about half of the nation’s homes with televisions.
One requirement: Prospective hosts will have to sing Sprout’s “Happy Birthday Song” as part of their audition.
“Our hosts tend to be very vibrant, very engaging,” said Sandy Wax, network president.
The show, which mixes skits along with pre-recorded portions of favorites like “Barney & Friends,” has four hosts: Carly Ciarrocchi, Dennisha Pratt, Kelly Vrooman and Sean Roach. The new host will replace Vrooman, who is leaving.

Each person was given a life jacket but survival wasn’t very likely in -4 degree water temperature. As the ship sank lower into the water life boats were lowered with only half their holding compasity inside. One survivor remembered, “It soon became obvious to some of us that we weren’t going to be finding any safety in one of those life boats” (“The Sinking of the Titanic, 1912”).

When discovered in a storm, her six year streak came to an end in 1867. Fed up with her misfortune, the owners sold her to Robert Haines from New York. After nursing her back to health, Robert Haines “transferred her from her Canadian to American registry” and gave her the now famous name Mary Celeste (Lyons 48). Haines sold the vessel to James Winchester, Benjamin Spooner Briggs (her new captain), and two others who shared ownership over the now American ship (Lyons 48).
In the story “The Open Boat”, there are four men who is a captain, a cook, an oiler and a correspondent. They were in a small boat after their ship sank off the coast of Florida. The crew headed to the lighthouse happily after the cook says there was a house for refuge nearby. But the fact is that no one is there, so they have to row back to sea. Then they saw some people showing up on the beach, so they believed to be rescued this time, but those people thought they were fishing. Then the captain decided that no one was coming to save them, therefore, they had to swim to shore when they still had strength. The oiler swims strongly, but he is the only man who is dead at the end of the story.
That has been what I have been doing on the ship for the last year. It wasn’t always just me doing this; I am the last member of my crew on its way back to earth. My crew, my friends, my family, all gone and I don’t even know how it happened. Maybe it happened when they were on there way back from the surface or maybe something went wrong on the ship ether way, all that’s left of the explosion is a big hole in the shuttle bay and a lot of gamma radiation. In fact the gamma rays are the only thing keeping me from investigating the area.
On April 10th, 1912, the Titanic left London, England at around noon. It then stops in Cherbourg, France at approximately 7:00 PM to load up passengers and extra supplies. Next, the Titanic leaves for Queenstown, Ireland, and arrives at 12:30 PM April 11th to pick up even more passengers. After everyone and everything was on the ship, they leave the Queenstown port at about 2:00 PM to start the journey to New York, in the United States. On the first day at sea, survivors
Ocean Carriers is evaluating a proposed three year lease of a ship. Currently, no ships in Ocean Carrier's fleet meet the requirements of the customer. Since the new ship requires an investment of $39 million, Mary Linn, the Vice President of Finance for Ocean Carriers, needs to evaluate the proposal's NPV and determine whether or not to accept the proposal by considering expected cash flows, tax implications, and future market conditions.
The sinking of the Titanic is one of the most famous maritime tragedies in the modern world. The Titanic sunk on April 15, 1912, while making her maiden voyage across the Atlantic. Even though the Titanic was deemed unsinkable by her builder, White Star line, she sank after striking an iceberg. This picture (NewYorkTimes.com) emphasizes the tragedy of the 1500 people that lost their life. While the loss of life was incredible, it could of have been prevented. There were only 20 lifeboats aboard the Titanic and this amount was not ample for the nearly 2,200 passengers aboard the ship. Another contributing factor to the loss of life was the lack of training on the operation of the life boats. (History1900s.about.com). Life boats were

In the transcript “Forgotten Ship” Shapiro and the crew of the U.S.S. Kirk are trying to show that they were worried. In the transcript “Forgotten ship” Shapiro describes how they wanted the helicopters to land on the ship but they had some complications “It wasn’t clear that the pilots could land on a moving ship.” The words “It wasn’t clear that the pilots could land”this gives you a sense that the crew was worried if they could help them land or not. In this section of the transcript Mr. Doyle explains how the helicopters lost fuel and crashed so they need somewhere to land “Well, they were flying out to sea. Some of them were very low on fuel and some of them crashed alongside larger ships.” The words “some of them crashed alongside
The discovery of a 3,000-year-old shipwreck, complete with riches and raw materials. The trading vessel was carrying an extremely valuable cargo of tin and hundreds of copper ingots from the Continent when it sank. Archaeologists have described the vessel, which is thought to date back to around 900BC, as being a "bulk carrier" of its age. The copper and tin would have been used for making bronze not only weapons, but also tools, jewelry, ornaments and other items. Archaeologists believe the copper and possibly the tin was being imported into
Crumbling castles, carnage, and chaos clouds the image the mind creates when depicting the Middle Ages. We see it as a period in history that, supposedly, holds a semblance with darkness; a time where culture was a part of the past and a wish for the future. The term ‘Dark Ages’ is considered to be synonymous with this portion in history. However, despite these claims, the literature from the Middle Ages proves that this era was not so dark.
In ancient Greece, the people of Athens dedicated a memorial in honor of King Theseus by preserving his naval ship in the port. This “ship of Theseus” stayed in port for hundreds of years. As time past, some of the wooden planks of Theseus’ ship began to rot away. To keep the ship preserved and presentable, the rotting planks were replaced with new planks made of the same material. This is where the key question lies; if you replace one of the planks, is it still the same ship of Theseus? This question addresses one of the most interesting problems in all of philosophy, namely the problem of identity. How do things stay the same even after they change? At what point does an object become different? When we talk about a certain object and say that “it changed,” what exactly is “it”? Some maintain that changing one plank changes the ship and makes it no longer the ship of Theseus. Others claim that as long as there is at least one plank from the original, it is still the original. There are also
